My Blog

yep..bubu you should be glad that i am updating my blog..after you bug me last night.

sigh~uni starts on monday. A good and bad thing i guess. For one, i wouldn’t just sit around at home and become lazier and lazier everyday.lol! its time to hit the books again…

my acomplisments during the two months break, which is sadly going to END

1. Finishing my largest crosstich project- the blackthorn faerie, which is framed up nicely and all in my room. took my ONE WHOLE MONTH to complete and i didn’t think i would be able to finish it…can’t post a pic of it as i can’t figure out how to operate the bluetooth..cannot transfer the pic. sigh~ im bad at all these "techie" things. (sis, why must u be in scotland now?? )
a picture of the blackthorn faerie.*im obssesed with faeries*

2. trying out many new dishes (hmm..as a result im pretty sure i gained weight..sigh~~~) like um..baked pasta, creamy mushroom sauce spagetthi,tempura, grilled orange honey chicken, chicken burgers, sweet and savory panckes..a new cookie recepie..

3. started learning mandarin at ICLS. only at stage one.beginner..but thats a start i guess. having my test on 18 september then can move on to elemetary 1..

4. did my elective and finally finished my report. sort of la anyway. not really sure about the format though..

5. learnt to play a new song on the piano. ‘Reason’ from a korean drama Autumn in my heart (no i didn’t watch it. i just love that song. (thank u bubu for the script)

yea..that is about it..nothing much . plus lots of shopping trips too!!:P hmm. that is not what you call an acomplisment is it??

went to penang with my family on 25&26 august. too bad my darling couldn’t come =(

went to kepong in the morning to pick my granma and for breakfast. then started our journey at 10am…around 11 something, after passing slimriver, i noticed the temperature meter going up, really high. so my dad had to stop the car to let it cool down. then a tow truck stopped by and offered help. he inspected the car..and found out that the WHOLE RADIATOR WAS SPOILT!!!! then he called his boss who drove from the shop to change it..but alas! the radaitor he brought was not suitable so he had to drive to bido (i think) to get a new one.all in all it took TWO WHOLE HOURS! and i was totally bored and it was so hot by the road. hmp,so unlucky.

we finally reached penang at around 4 something, checked in the hotel (the gurney) and took a short rest..went out again to look for food (no food since breakfast!!!!) was feeling adventeruos so instead of eating at gurney drive, we went to lorong baru…my dad had to drive round and round before locating the place had a feast there!muahahha…

then we went to gurney plaza, not a bad shopping mall..quite comparable to the ones in KL..then we headed back to the hotel..didn/t plan to sleep so early so i watched tv..and then had supper at…coffee bean..of all places,. we were at a food haven and we ate at COFFEE BEAN!hahah..it was the most convenient place…the hotel room was overlooking the sea and the swimming pool…hmm..regret not bringing my swim wear. the pool is really nice

next morning, got up at 7.30 am..to beat the crowd;) went for breakfast at jalan macalister. The famous ‘Sister’s Char kway teow’ and the yam cake also. then off to kek lok si temple..nothing much to see cos it was still early and not all the shops were open yet. my mum persuaded my dad to drive to balik pulau, the OTHER side of penang to try the asam laska recommended by the ‘Flavor’s guide to penang street food’. it was an hours drive there but the scenery was beautiful..sandy beaches and all. passed a water dam too..and lots of trees.. the one hour journey was so worth it. the asam laska was really really good..and its only rm 2.20!!so cheap! then we went back to check out. last stop. Jalan selamat. for ais kacang and home made peanut ice cream.yum yum.

reached home pretty late (car problems again so had to stop awhile at the rest area…) enjoyed myself alot..besides feeling a little guilty too for all the calories consumed…

tuesday (29 august) - planed to go out with my darling but ended up being a busy body in IMU. muahaha..seeing the juniors get ragged.haha.brings back memories..

wednesday-mummy’s bday..merdeka eve..my mum always joked that the whole country celebrate cos its her bday (even if its the day before independence day…hehe) watched fireworks at sunway.impressive

MERDEKA DAY!!!- had lunch at klang (to celbrate mum’s bday) then the bcos we were bored of all the malls in kl..decided to go to puterajaya..haha..all the way. went to ALAMANDA, my first time!!! its really big but only two floors..the design and concept is really nice.has a pool and mini fountain..smaller version of klcc(much smaller) and a pathway with benches lined with trees all the way..so nice =^.^= suddenly out of the blues..i remembered about this pair of really gorgeous shoes i saw in jusco, 1 utama few weeks back, and had the sudden desire to have it!!(ok, that is a bit exxagerated..but still) so on the way back, we stopped at 1 utama, and i was crossing my fingers..but..sigh~no news is good news..(is there such a proverb??) they didn’t have my size.so sad…hm…i shall go shoe hunting this coming weekend..to all the jusco around here…

enough of my ramblings…tata!
