Slightly outdated I know.

Just been busy and haven't had the time.

Busy doing what? Haha.

I don't even know myself sometimes.

Constantly preoccupied (or lazy) =P

At least I finally came around to doing it huh.

Ally and I went to TopShop at Mid Valley 'cos they were having some sort of pre-mid season sale for members.

Didn't find anything out of the ordinary honestly.

I think I'm going through a non-shopping phase lol.

Where I just see don't see anything nice to buy.

Oh but trust me.

There will be a day where I'll just feel like buying the whole store haha.

Anyway, we left Mid Valley in record-breaking time.

One and a half hours. Haha.

Headed to Bangsar after that with the intention of having banana leaf rice.

Yumm. Really just try the one at Bangsar if you haven't.

Its opposite Bangsar Village II yeah, ;)

Needless to say, we got sidetracked by all the other great eating places there. Lol.

So we ended up in this cosy/whimsical/charming little cafe in BV II.

Its called Marmalade.

(As in orange marmalade, the one Paddington Bear eats. You've watched Paddington Bear before right?? In case you haven't here's a picture. Hehe. A talking bear in a raincoat who stole away from Peru. Adorable, no? =) )

Here's a picture on the wall.
Cute huh? Perfect place to bring ur kids. (If you have them of course hehe.)
The food was a tad bland to be honest.
But its all good 'cos place just makes you feel like a happy kid. =D I'm serious!

Turkey Ham & Mushroom Quiche

Spaghetti Carbonara & Strawberry Yogurt Drink

Really Cool Lighting
(See its like a transparent ball with entwined wire in it lol.)

Oh yeah, this place sells the largest cupcake and carrot cake you can find. No kidding! You can check them out on Facebook too I think.

Ah now I'm tired. Going to bed now.

Loves.

I could use one of these.

And I'm not just talking about the moisturizer.

Thinkthinkthink. And Now My Head Hurts.

Current mood: Stressed, Tired, Drained, Not Happy.


I've been thinking way way way too much these past few days.
It hasn't been doing me any favours except give me headaches.

Firstly, I've recently started on my Fashion Marketing Project I.
I won't bother explaining what its about and telling you all the long details. (Ask me if you want.) But my point here is that its hard.

They say conceptualizing is often the hardest part of a project.
I couldn't agree more. Sigh.
A lot of hard work to be anticipated to make everything work.

God, I hate having to juggle between personal issues and school/work issues.

All I can do is hope and pray that everything will turn out well in the end.

Also, I wanna say something to those who have gone overseas to study.
You know who you are.
Some went a few years back, Some last year and Some this year.

I've been thinking and just want to apologize if I haven't made enough of an effort to keep in touch.
I really didn't mean for it to turn out that way.
I always say that we'll talk loads and stuff but somehow I don't always follow through and I'm sorry for that.
In spite of all that, you guys really do matter a lot to me.
Anyway, I hope all of you are doing well and coping.
I miss you all so much. Really. =)

But its the same for some of the people here whom I don't see often.
We have MSN and Facebook which makes everything even easier, but I still act the same way.

Its odd now that I think about it.
Because I used to make an effort.
I really did.
But now, I think I stopped.
And I have no idea why.

I hope its not because I stopped caring.
If it is, then I guess its true.
People do evolve.
They don't change. They just evolve.
Ah the irony of life.

Hope this makes you stop to think about... Well, anything you want.
People forget to think sometimes. Hehe.

"People is what matters." - Meredith Grey

Two in Two Days

I decided to talk about movies this time!

So the first one I watched was on HBO last night.
The Pursuit of Happyness.




I know I'm a little behind since this movie came out quite some time ago (okay, a long time ago).
But better late than never huh.
And it was whoa.
Kept me glued to the tv the whole time. Lol.

The title really meant what it was supposed to mean.
The struggle Chris Gardner (Will Smith) had to endure in his life just makes you feel as grateful as you can ever be with what you have.
He continued to persevere even when things got really tough, stayed optimistic and did absolutely everything in his power to protect and provide a living for his son, Christopher (Jaden Smith).

I mean, imagine this.
From living in a 2 bedroom apartment to a motel room to being kicked out into the streets and forced to spend the night in a subway restroom to lining up everyday at 5pm in the evening in order to get a room at the homeless shelter.
Blow after blow came upon him. Spending the night in jail, eviction, taxes, etc. etc.
In spite of all that, he still had to continue selling his scanners to survive and study in order to get a job in an investment firm to make a living.
Every dollar mattered.

I have to say that thank goodness all ended well.
This is proof that good things do happen to good people =)
So if you have the time, really you have to watch it.
Its a very inspiring movie that definitely puts things into perspective.

***

Next movie I watched was tonight with Ally.

She bought the DVD for The Other Boleyn Girl.

I've been dying to watch this one ever since I saw the book in MPH.

Its a scandalous movie set in the 1500s with three hot and talented actors in it.

Honestly, how can anyone not want to. Lol.

Natalie Portman plays Anne Boleyn, Scarlett Johansson plays her younger sister, Mary Boleyn and Eric Bana plays the King of England at the time, King Henry VIII.

(I did wonder why Keira Knightley wasn't chosen to act in this film.. She does have that old English air about her..)

All in all, very very exciting plot.

Since its not out yet (in Malaysia), I won't elaborate on it.

If you like films based (not fully based but referenced) on historical events in the past, this is the movie for you.

Its really entertaining and there's a lot you can discuss and analyze about the characters played.

Definitely worth watching in my opinion.

Anyway, I borrowed another DVD from Ally.

P.S. I Love You

I can't wait to watch it! =D

Hehe. Hope you all have been watching good movies too.

/xx

Yay me.

Currently listening to: I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

(They play that song on the radio now. Tsk. And I didn't get the video.. Hmm..)

So guess what?

I've only got One day of a college a week now!!
Haha. I kid you not.
Three subjects/classes in a day. Not bad eh? ;)
And I will make sure this doesn't turn me into a slacker. (I hope.. >.<) Because now I'll have more time to work on events and what not. Yeah my life has turned into the following: - Eat - College - Sleep - Eat - Work - Sleep - Eat I swear I've been eating wayyy too much. I just feel like eating all the time. This is gonna sound weird but I think its because... I'm stressed my period isn't here yet! LOL. I should be thankful its not here yet shouldn't I? But it's honestly so annoying since its always early and never late. And now I shall stop ranting about my really personal issues =P

On another note.
I cut my hair!
Its two-and-a-half inches shorter now. (Thanks to all the split ends)
But yeah, not much of a difference since Ally didn't even notice it until I pointed it out to her.
Which was like two days later mind you.


Oh yeah, this is my current obsession.


Haha. I've been telling/asking/pestering/annoying virtually everyone about it.
I'm so sorry but I can't help it!
I wanna go there so badly.
See in case you didn't know, the new Wendy's just opened at Sunway Pyramid 2.
I've been waiting forever for it to open.
So now I'm just really really excited.
I mean, how can you not when they have Square burgers! Hahaha!


Tell me that isn't the yummiest thing you've seen in uh... a long time. Lol.
Okay.. I'll stop tempting you people. Hehe.

I have to go study now anyway. (See! I'm not slacking Ally/Lindy/Ysl)
=P

*hug hug, kiss kiss.

Teddy Babyyy

Currently listening to: Hands on Me by Vanessa Carlton

This is Teddy (on the right). Rachel (on the left) and Ally's toy poodle.

How cute is he???!!!???!!!

Yeah I know. Super random. Too cute a picture to pass up hehe.

Besides, its free publicity for him. Lol. (And her too =P)

But you have to admit. You love him already, don't you??

Haha.

= )

Rain, Rain Go Away

Currently listening to: Four Minutes by Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake

Was raining like mad today.
So I got caught in the rain thanks to my college's sucky car park.

Tsk.

Oh and I broke my slippers =(

Then again, this means, new shoes! =D

So off I went after dinner to Vincci @ Ikano to look for a new pair.

(Dinner was really good nasi kandar from Devi's by the way. Yumm.)

Unfortunately, they didn't have my size.

I'll have to wait till tomorrow to go to OU I suppose.

Yeah, I'm that obssesive about things eventhough I already have a million other good shoes. Lol.

As I was walking around..

Lookie what I found..

REESE'S!!!

My all time favourite.

Though I do prefer the Mini Peanut Butter Cups.

(Excuse the bad lighting hehe.)

But hey, these made me forget about not getting my shoes in no time. Lol.

Ahh.. I'm getting a headache =(

Got Moral class early tomorrow morning. And I have to start studying Malaysian history all over again. Eek.

Hugs and kisses all.

Recap

Currently listening to: Pieces by Sum 41

07/04/08, Monday - 15/04/08, Tuesday

Yes, I think I owe whoever's still reading this an update. =)
Worked throughout the last week non-stop.

From Monday to Friday it was the Maxis Media Showcase.
Ally and I were the usherers..
Which pretty much means standing around looking pretty.
But getting paid of course. Lol.

Ooh. We saw Sean Kingston. Haha.
He. Is. HUGE.
No kidding.
Didn't look too friendly either. =P

There was another job on Friday and Saturday night but I didn't go for it.
Ally and the rest (Isa, Fu Chao, Daryl, Miki, Hellena & Najlaa) did the Hotlink promos at the Sean Kingston Showcase in Zouk and Coco Banana.
Heard it was pretty fun. But tiring though.

***

Anywho, I started working at Cats Whiskers on Saturday.
I'm all grown up, I have a job and everything haha. =D
It doesn't pay a lot but...
I'm happy to say that I like my job =))))))
Besides, they have very flexible hours.

Hehe. Oh yeah.
The sale at Cats Whiskers is still on people!
70% of ALL items except for new arrivals.
So hurry and visit the nearest outlet!
I'm at Damansara Perdana btw ;)

Some pictures of food from Sunday's dinner with the family at Italiannies, The Curve.
Haha. I seem to enjoy posting food pictures more.

Threadszoo?

Currently listening to: Love Song by Sara Bareilles


I woke up 11 this morning to go for this junk sale/flea market/somewhere along those lines thing.

Its called The Threadzoo which was held at TTDI Plaza.




Pretty cool idea I reckon. Bunch of people gathering in a place to buy, sell and trade.
Like Selltrade KL but not online. Lol. If that makes any sense :P


Though, the place was kinda packed and there was hardly any air ventilation.
(not a very large space).
So I didn't get a chance to really find the good stuff.
It's still on tomorrow, so if you get the chance, be sure to check it out ;)


After that, we (meaning Ally, Jo, Lyn, Leann & Myself) went to Cats Whiskers in Hartamas.
70 percent off everything!
You can't possibly pass that up.


Oh okay. I have a confession.
This is the third location we've been to. *blushes*
We actually went to the D'sara Utama and D'sara Perdana branch already.
So sue us for being shopaholics. Hehe.


And now I have to get ready to go the Launch of Micro at Baroque.
Whatever that means.
Lol. I really don't know what the event is about.
But I definitely will have an update about it later on. (I think/hope..)


And Ally is coming over with accessories for me to buy?!
Hehe. We'll see.
I've spent too much already. Eek.




Toodles. :)

Leann's Dinner Thingie at Sunway

Tuesday, 25/03/08


Yes, yes. I know. Totally overdue.
And as usual, they're not even my pictures.
So everyone probably already seen them on Jo's blog.
Heh. *sheepish grin*

So Leann was our server.
The food was um.. meh.
If you know what I mean.

The lamb wasn't really cooked so we had to send it back.
The chicken was cold and dry.
The pasta was too jelak.
Apparently, Jo's appetizer tasted "weird".
The desserts were too rich.

Anywho, pictures are below people!

Chicken Mango Salad

California Maki

Breaded Chicken with Almond Flakes

Roast Lamb with Vegetables

Seafood Pasta

Dark Chocolate Mousse

When You Wake Up at 4 in the Afternoon

Yeah. I know its bad to wake up so late but I really can't help it >.<
I was totally obssessed with Grey's last night.
Finally caught up to the latest episode of Season 4. Whee.

All I have to say is that, Meredith and McDreamy need to be together.
I mean they belong together. No matter how dark and twisty Meredith is.
The show seems more um.. happy when they are. Hehe.

And I really prefer the first 3 seasons compared to the latest.
Honestly, the show is just not the same without Addison and Burke.
Then again, the show has already been confirmed for the fifth season, so let's hope they'll make a comeback.
Hmm.. I really should check out Kate Walsh's spin off show, Private Practice.
Hope I'll have some time for that.

So anyway, this is what you resort to when you've got absolutely nothing to do during the holidays. Watch tv shows till the wee hours of the morning.

Then you wake up the next day thinking, "Shit. Its four. I've been sleeping the whole day. That sucks."

I have this bad habit of only waking up after 10 straight hours of sleep.
Very bad. I need to fix that.

After waking up to a rainy afternoon, I decided I was too lazy to go to the gym. Heh.
Well it was raining. Rain makes you more lazy than usual. = P

I thought to myself, I should bake instead.
With the help of Betty Crocker of course. Lol. =P
Yeah I haven't tried making cookies from scratch before. One day.. One day.

And this is how they turned out.

I hope you feel like having a cookie now. Hehe.
