Drama Queen

Bet there won't be any interesting events to be blogged bout these days. Less than a month before ACCA exam comes alive! Suppose to be working hard on my short notes and mental preparation. But instead, I'm "boiling" dramas at home. LOL...

I did study at night. Mostly after midnight. My usual exam routine. Before I go to bed, I'll browse my Facebook and watch some dramas or videos to relax my mind.

Dramas on air recently are really inspirational. Hence, I'm all again addicted to dramas. The drama queen is back into action! A new drug. A new temptation. Oh shit... Facebook alone is enough to keep me away from books. Now, drama comes into picture.

I'll never be able to escape from THE DEVILS.

*sigh*

Anyway, here's the list of dramas I'm following...

1. Beyond The Realm of Conscience <宮心計>

2. Born Rich <富貴門>

3. Autumn's Concerto <下一站，幸福>

4. Easy Fortune Happy Life <福氣又安康>

5. Black & White <痞子英雄>

Getting so into their OST too, especially those in Autumn's Concerto and Easy Fortune Happy Life. I juz love their lyrics and melody. Bring me that kind of "swaying" feel. Been listening to the songs over and over again.

OMG... Something is so wrong with me!

For god's sake, I'm totally helpless. A freako.

Great dramas make great days, but worst exam results. Isn't a fair trade... (T.T)

When There's No Tomorrow...

2012 is such a hit these few days. There are people talking bout it everytime, everywhere. Been trying to log into GSC website since last Friday. But failed to even make an online purchase. OMFG! Reminded me of Transformers.

Fine.

Both Poh Yee and I waited till this morning to try our luck. She took a day leave to return her convo attire. So, I drove her to college before we shot off to Midvalley.

Hmm... Don't get us wrong. We are not so crazy over a movie to actually queue for tickets as early as 9.45am. But these people...

Speechless.

It was not time to start business yet. But the queue has already reached the McD entrance. Can you believe it? I took these photos when Poh Yee and I were still enjoying our breakfast at McD.

One word... RIDICULOUS!

Anyway, we managed to get our tickets for 11.45am.

Sign of victory (n_n)v

Still early after my appointment with Dr Suresh. Yeah... I had my retainer adjusted again. Spent the next hour reading at MPH. Not reading alone of course. Haha.

*wink*

You know me!

Girls day out.

Tick tock tick tock... Time for the most important agenda of the day. The most anticipated movie of the month.


Hall 1 was almost full. Only a few seats in front remained unoccupied. Imagine that! It was 11.45am and the hall was 97% occupied. Mind you... The audience were not only students but working adults. I wonder how they sneaked out from work to be in the cinema with us. Annual leave? Duh...

Never mind. None of our business. Took another photo together before the show rolled.


It started off with a man named Adrian in a taxi on the way to visit a friend in India. A little talking between them before his friend brought him to an underground lab. There's this 6000 feet tunnel filled with boiling water somewhere in the lab. I didn't know what it means. Not till Adrian is being introduced as a geology specialist to the US President. Obviously, Obama is not in the film but his look-alike. LOL... From there, the 2012 mystery is slowly unfolded.

Tears drop on my cheeks from time to time. Hell touching. Put yourself into the shoes of people in the movie and you'll understand. 2012 is not even here yet. Who knows? Sorry for my stupid thought. But what if? What if it's true? What are we gonna do?

Enjoy life while you can, guys... Do everything you wanna do...

Hunt for food right after. Planned to savour Nando's. While on our way, we walked pass this restaurant called The Spaghetti Farm. Newly opened. So, we gave it a try.


Nice environment. Price is still reasonable. Range from RM8-RM13 per plate of spaghetti. Add on RM3.20 for cream soup and soft drink. Chicken ham carbonara for me. Chicken bolognese for Poh Yee. Taste okay. Maybe we were hungry then.

Almost 3.30pm when we finished lunch. Time for home. Traffic jam would be starting soon. Off to our car. But before that, dropped by at Memory Lane. Their cute looking soft toys seduced us in. Ngeks...

2 "big" kids in store...

Party People

First time celebrating Desmond's birthday since he transferred to GAP KLCC sometime in June 2008. Knew him for bout one and a half years. But we are like long time buddies. Who would resist his friendliness and humorous personality?

OK, enough with the compliments. Back to the main subject.

Function: Desmond's pre 24th birthday party
Date: 4 November 2009
Time: 11pm - 4am
Venue: Neway Karaoke, Times Square

My outfit for the night. Black was the theme.

Picked up Bro Kit as usual, followed by Ying, the birthday boy and Pui Yee. Reached Times Square around 9pm. Alex and Chun Kit were already there before us. While waiting for those in the noon shift to finish work, we had a few rounds of bowling and basketball games at the arcade.

GAP "kids" on the run...

Head count before we went into our room. 1...2...3...4...5.......15? Was assigned to room No.2. To my horror, it was the room that we been into during Ying's birthday. OMG... What a coincidence!


Started off with some familiar songs. Desmond took position as the lead singer. The night solely belonged to him. We let him do whatever he wants.

Here are the different categories of photos taken for the night. Featuring...

The SINGLES

The DOUBLES

The GROUPIES

Birthday cake was delivered at 2am. Birthday song was played. Birthday boy made a wish and blew off the candles.


HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY, Desmond!

May you live life with great joy and good health.

Birthday routine done. Time for trick or treat. Woohoo... How the game went bout?

All of us were given a poker card each when we entered the room. The birthday boy named 2 poker cards of his choice, then picked 2 mystery boxes prepared by Bro Kit. The ones holding the respective cards would opened the boxes to find out their tasks.

Suspense arising...

Khairul & Bro Kit were the organisers with Celyn and Zue, the card holders. Celyn had to drink 2 cans of Tiger beer that she unwrapped from her box. Still OK. But Zue? Oh my... Had to drink beer from a baby potty. Gosh!

As the night moved on, more people were drunk and more crazy stuff could be seen.


Desmond's secret affair with Alex and Khairul.

ROFLMAO...

Obsession

Arrghh... Long hours of revision classes stopped me from blogging for a few days. Sorry for the late updates. Kinda busy, errr... I supposed VERY BUSY should be more appropriate to be used. Will get things done fast here.

Movie lure came possessing me again. Thanks to my lil bro for asking me to a movie with him and his girl of course. LOL... He wished to watch Phobia 2. But too bad, it was not up for screening yet on Tuesday. But good for me!

*smile with satisfaction*

Jennifer's Body as a substitute. He could keep Phobia 2 for his later date with Sze Yi. Oh ya... That's her in the photo below.

Me being a lamp-post??? Maybe... ^^


Enjoyed watching Megan Fox in action though. As usual, she remains sizzling hot, looking at her best for her role as Jennifer. The only difference is she shows her fangs whenever she goes hungry. You know what happened next? Prepare to lick your lips as you see her ripping off those poor guys' tummy and drank their "delicious" blood to sustain her beau. Eww...

A total different version of Megan Fox. But still, guys out there adore her to the max.

Right right?


Let's continue the excitement with the second movie, The Time Traveller's Wife. A romantic story bout a couple whom the husband is a time traveller. Disappeared to the past or future beyond self control. Now you see him, now you don't. Sounds cool but only God knows how the wife suffered from loneliness and insecurity whenever she found her husband is gone without being informed of where he went to.

So, the moral of the story:

"DON'T simply leave your wife all by herself"

Coming up next... Desmond's birthday blast!

Exploring Big 4

Some of you must be wondering what the heck Big 4 is. As for accounting students, I don't think further explanation is needed. Straight away these few famous accounting firms would come popping into mind...

PwC
KPMG
Ernst & Young
Deloitte

Yeah, we juz visited one of the Big 4 on Monday. Located next to Sri Pentas and 1U.

GIRLS... Aren't you excited? *wink*


A bit of an intro here. The building has 2 towers. One belongs to IBM and the other belongs to KPMG. There are many other tenants around. KPMG only occupies 6 floors. Their exterior and interior are simply amazing. Professional yet stylish.

The photos alone are very captivating. What bout seeing it with your own eyes?

Upon arrival, we were being welcomed by their HR staff. The first agenda of the tour was a seminar by Ms Peggy from the tax department. Have you get the idea where we were supposed to be heading to? The meeting room.

So, up we went to the 10th floor. Woo...


Saw the portrait of 9 ladies and gentlemen? They are our successors, the current FAS committee. Looking suave in their formal attire. Oh... By the way, this office visit was their first activity. I would say it ran smoothly under Ms Geh's guidance. Kudos juniors!

Some refreshments were provided at the end of the day. Tasty pastries and hot coffee. I personally love the custard puffs the most. Yum yum...


A quick shot of everyone before we left. Nice one!

Meatballs Harass

Shopping is the best medicine for GIRLS...


Went into every boutique in Damansara Uptown yesterday morning. Apparently, these 3 girls enjoyed it the most, featuring Poh Yee, Ivena and Phui Mun. I was sort of like tagging along actually.

Clothing is not my best interest for the moment. There are a few tops in my closet that I have yet to get a chance to wear them. Well, I did try on a few skirts and shorts but none suit. Size matters. Blame my bulky thighs. Grrr...

Left for 1U around 2.30pm. Here was where we had our second activity. The one I looked forward to. MOVIE TIME!

Nearly late for the show. Collected our tickets, bought some snacks and took our seats. What we were bout to watch?

*Tadaa*


At first, we thought it's a kiddo show. But later WOW... Beyond our expectation. Lots of laughter, lots of moral values, lots of science fictions. Fantastic!

Ratings: 8 out of 10

Here's a lesson I picked up from this movie. Things that come easy are not necessarily good. Kinda reminds me of my exam results. Must work really hard to get paid huh? Yeah right. Whatever! I'm so not in the mood for this issue.

Back to our outing. It's been a while since the 4 of us took photos together.

Take 1 in the toilet (without Phui Mun). Too bad. She was waiting for us outside.


Take 2 in the cinema after the show ended. Using my 3.2mp phone camera. Blur.

Had high tea at Sushi Zanmai right after.


SUSHI... Yummy...

Slightly better than Sushi King. But the bill gave us a great shock.

RM46. What???

We had only bout 7 dishes and 4 glasses of refillable hot green tea.

Higher quality, higher price!

Luckily Phui Mun was the one driving. I looked like a dead fish on the way back.


Do you realise this is the shortest post I ever posted on my blog? Sorry. I'm really exhausted and upset these few days. Have no mood for blogging. But I can't bear to see my blog being abandoned for too long. I'm a responsible blog master. Ngeks...

P/S: Thanks so much to my lovely friends who expressed their continuous concerns over my emotional condition lately. I promise I'll get back on my feet and move forward real soon. Glad to have you guys around. My guardian angels!

*Flying kisses*

Siblings Day Out

The title says it all. YES... It was some quality sis-bro time together yesterday. But before that, we had to meet up with mum and dad for lunch. I seriously couldn't remember when was the last time I went out with my bro. Been ages I think! He has no time for me ever since he devoted most of his time to his girlfriend and his job.

He offered to be my driver for the day. Woohoo... This kinda opportunity doesn't come frequent, you know? I was forced to drive most of the time but this time he gave in.

While bro was speeding his way, I sat next to him camwhoring. LOL...

Cool. Charm. Crazy.

This is the first time bro featured in my blog, isn't it?

Meet my bro, Mr James "Bond".

The traffic was smooth, so we reached Pudu in just half an hour. Mum and dad also reached bout the same time. Had our lunch at Fatt Kee Restaurant located opposite Pudu Plaza. It's a famous roadside stall specialised in roasted meat especially DUCK. One of the tastiest duck meat in town. Never try, never know!

(Clockwise from top left: BBQ pork, spicy sour vege, roasted duck, dried prawn beancurd)

After lunch, bro and I departed to Pavilion while mum and dad had their own sweet time together. Many people were already queueuing for tickets at the cinema as early as 3.30pm. Luckily the GSC staff were kinda efficient. It was our turn shortly.

"Tickets for 2 adults. Pandorum at 4.40pm please?"

Bout an hour before we could enter the cinema. So, we killed time by taking a few more photos and a stroll around Pavilion.

Sis and bro model wannabe... Ngek ngek ngek...


Dropped by GAP Kids and GAP Adults to look for Alex, Khairul and Chun Kit. But they didn't entertain me much as they were busy serving customers. We also lingered at Sony Ericsson. Spotted a new model, C903. Price RM1,299. Nice to see, nice to touch, but no money to buy. How sad!

Last stop at Starbucks. Caramel Frappucino for me and Caramel Machiatto for bro. Ehem... Successfully sneaked in our "illegal" drinks under bro's jacket.

*phew*


Pandorum is apparently a sci-fi movie. But somehow, those slimy alien creatures gave us goosebumps. How they appeared out of nowhere and how they chewed down those human's internal organs... Yucks! However, the overall story is still a puzzle to me. There are parts that I don't really understand. Wish someone could explain to me =P

Oh ya... I almost forgot to mention bout the man we saw in the cinema. Should be in mid fifties. Sat a row behind us. Incredibly annoying. Wanna know what he did?

He laughed throughout the show...
God dammit!!!

I wondered what was so funny bout the movie that could possibly made him laugh so much. I'm fine with it if we were watching comedy. But sci fi? Bro said he must be insane. Well, that could be the only reason as to why he was laughing and talking to himself. Everyone sitting nearby was so pissed off and stared at him. But he still "syok sendiri". Luckily my bro stopped me from lodging a complaint. Else, he might end up being thrown out half way during the show or blacklisted by GSC.

Wallet dried out at the end of the day. Spent RM80 on movie tickets, Starbucks and parking fee. All on me! Sob...


Had to dine at BRJ. Mee goreng, nasi lemak ayam and 2 teh o' ais limau. Bro paid!

Monday Blues Not

12th October 2009. Monday.

This is how my day gets a head start...

8am BA lecture at DK ABB. Woke up looking like a zombie. Drove to college with an empty-stomach. Reached there only to find out less than 50% of my coursemates turned up. Duh! Surprisingly, Mr Yeoh's 2 hours internal exam feedback session this morning didn't bore me at all.

Look... I have a good news and a bad news. Which one should I enlighten first?

The good news...
I learnt a lot from his feedback session. He never clearly emphasize on exam techniques before this. He briefed us bout it today. Now I have an idea where I gone wrong.

*Gulp*

The bad news...
I realised my answers could be major wrong. Meaning my BA may be as ill-fated as CR? Oh no... Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping both Mr Yeoh and Dr Amy marked my paper with mercy. God bless!

No use crying over spilt milk. In order to reduce the risk for external exam, I signed up for BA revision in Kasturi. Man... November is gonna be a hectic month. Run between Kasturi and McOrange. The fees alone sum up to RM1500. Slightly, more expensive than a sem in TARC. Gotta make sure the return is worth the spending. Else, mum and dad will be so disappointed.

Said has always seem to be easier than done. I'm still being a big fat worm lazing around, avoiding the books whenever I could. LOL...

My bank account showed a balance lesser by RM280 after the registration. Things worsen when I made my way to Times Square while driving back to Wangsa. Was too temptated to watch Surrogates. Managed to catch the 4pm show just on time.

*phew*


This movie kinda blew me off. The visual effects are so real yet so fake. May be impossible these days. But who knows years later? Couldn't imagine myself living in a world of machines though. Creepy! Imagine yourself staying indoors at all times, afraid of injuries and aging or death. Dependent on robotic surrogates to do every task. What life is that?

"Say NO to surrogates. Live humans!"

Errr... Shouldn't have revealed too much. Bet those who have yet to watch the movie are cursing me for spoiling their anticipation. Guys, head to your nearest cinema soon.

Had a light dinner before going home. Been starving throughout the movie.

Old Town butter kaya toast & milk tea

Yummy... Anything would taste like heaven when you are hungry. Oh yes!

Kada-Boom

Longest BA lecture I had ever attended yesterday. 8 hours including an hour of lunch break. Hmm... Not 8 hours exactly. There were some slacking in between due to technical problems. Long story. To keep it short, I'll just sum up everything.

Basically, problems arose thanks to TARC's poor maintenance and lacked of agility even after so many rounds of complaints. The same old lame excuse would be heard all the time.

TARC is a semi-government institution. No extra funds to improve things in one shot. Don't expect too much.

Hey, it reminds me of Balogun and Hope Hailey's model. The heading sounds:

TARC takes on incremental change instead of a Big Bang. Evolution vs Revolution?

Opps... I bet problems will remain unsolved if words are not turn into action (adopted from Dr Amy =P).

So this morning, Dr Amy and another lecturer had a slight argument because of some equipment in-functionality. As a result, those innocent students as I mean us moved from one venue to another and another. Wasted quite some time and of course, irritated some of us too.

Well, that's TARC. Quality & Affordable Education!

Things finally settled down by 11am. Problems free. One hour later we had our lunch break and when we were back, surprise awaited Dr Amy. It was her birthday and we bought a cake. In substance, it was me who bought the cake. Legally, it was a share by all of us using the course fund. It's mango flavored from Baker's Cottage.


Doesn't it look appetizing? Unfortunately, we didn't get to melt it in our mouth. Couldn't take too much time. Just a quick birthday song and a "short" speech by Dr Amy. Was kinda touched when she claimed to be appreciating everything that we did for her. The whole lecture hall turned silent when she spoke and it was really overwhelming.

Thanks for sacrificing your big day to look after these bunch of "monkeys". LOL...

We dismissed around 4pm. Brought my baby Kembara to service in Sri Rampai and then, shopped for some goodies at Carrefour. Thought of getting a nap when I reached home. But I ended up having dinner at Hometown Steamboat with Poh Yee and Cheng.

Overall, the food was so far so good. The ingredients were fresh and succulent. I love their soups best, both tomyam and broth. They do serve in porridge as well.

We ordered only a 2 persons portion plus a jug of sea coconut drink. Unbelievably, we left with a full tummy. Was it the food or our small appetite that matters? Haha. I seriously have no idea. Try it yourself. Highly recommended for steamboat lovers as an alternative to Restoran Talipon though Hometown may be a little more costly.

Poh Yee paid for the bill. RM42 in total. Her first treat since started working. Thanks for the meal, my roommate! Simply delicious...

P/S: Did anyone realise my hair colour is no longer copper brown?

Grill A Lot

MIA from Blogger for almost a week. Nothing interesting to be blogged bout, other than my long hours of revision classes. Yup, you are right! I'm back to college. Holidays no more.

Getting back to college this time is not so pleasant. Well, it's time to face the reality. Even on the first day itself, lecturers discussed bout our recent internal exam. Feedback session we call it. As expected, their model answers are so different from what I wrote on my answer scripts. The conclusion...

I SCREWED MY FINAL EXAM!!!

Hooray! Congratulate me for being too nervous in the exam hall. End up writing whole lot of shit. OK, I know I know... I hereby declare my exam is dead. Memorial session on 19 October 2009. Gotta get at least RM80 ready for resits.

Let's stop the exam issue and start with something delighted. Another GAP gathering on Wednesday. I mean 2 days ago. It was a large pre-birthday BBQ party held jointly by GAP KLCC and GAP Pavilion. Our operating manager, Penny also turned up as one of the guest.

Venue: Alex's front yard in Chow Kit
Time: 11pm - 3am
No of attendance: 20 persons

Forgive me. I totally forgot to take photos of the food that we had. Was busy fooling around with my colleagues and newly known GAP Pavilion staff. Never mind. Let me name those I remember. Marinated chicken wings, sausages, fish balls, fried popiah, fried dumplings, fried meehoon, fried rice, watermelons and fizzy drinks. Credits roll to Alex's mum for preparing the ingredients, not forgetting Desmond, Shue Fen and San for doing the shopping.

Done with the food, time for the cake. Common ritual... All of us sang a birthday song, the birthday stars made their wishes, blew out the candles and cut the cake. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my lovely brother Kit, the ever sexy goddess Zue, the charming little Red and GAP Pavilion supervisor, Yen.


I assured you the fun has yet to begin. Didn't end with eating the cake alone. They had a cream war on the streets! Naughty minds came up with evil plans. Some took revenge and some just wanted to have fun. I was only a witness as usual. Please never drag me along. I hate cream as my make up. Haha...

Zue was the first one being attacked by cream. She left around 1am. So, Khairul and Desmond waited for her at the front gate with plates of cream in their hands. She had cream all over her precious face and hair. That should be an awful nightmare for her. All her make up was ruined and she was bout to go for her second date at Uncle Chili's Club in PJ Hilton. Luckily, the guys didn't go overboard. At least, her clothes remained clean.


Second victim was Kit. I wasn't around when Penny and Shue Fen threw the cream at him. Unbelievable... Never knew Penny could be so playful. I thought she's an iron lady. The funniest thing was that she left immediately when Kit found out she was one of the pranksters. Afraid Kit would take revenge with the leftover cream on his cheek. LOL...

These guys are really good in getting the ball rolling. Coming up next was the friendly match in hand wrestling between the Malaysians and Filipinos. Kit was over excited that night. He kept challenging the others to try winning over him. I caught him and Mel in action.


Look at their reactions. Mel looked so relaxed that he even had a few sips of beer while Kit was struggling, using all his might to defeat him. Khairul's head is noticeable in the last photo, smiling for the camera.

The winner of the night...

*drum rolls*

THE FILIPINOS

Malaysians lost 1-3. Better luck next time!

Half of them left by 2am. The ones who stayed sat at the roadside and continue chatting complemented with beers. There was once Alex accidentally dropped a can of beer on the ground. Kit ran after me with the squirt out beer in the can. Dang... How could he?

It was the first time I had BBQ party with GAP-ians and I truly enjoyed it to the max. I get to savor nice food without the need to do the grilling myself. I had Khairul, Alex and Desmond as my personal servants. Haha. I also get to know new friends from the other GAP store. All these while, we only manage to communicate through the phone when we helped customers to make inquiry regarding stock availability.

Last but not least, this is the gift I prepared for Kit. A self-designed mug. To avoid plagiarism, I would say it's half designed by me and the other half by a designer from Print Work located on the 5th floor of Times Square. But the wrapping is 100% done by me. Ngeks...


I hope he likes it.
