Fated huh.

So yeah, its been sooooo darn long since I updated my blog.My holidays are boring as expected.I plan to catch up with my form4 studies since my form4 was like crap.Result, my books are all left at a corner to collect its dust.The dust is as thick as 6months collected dust.This shows how crappy my determination is huh.I've been missing quite alot of frisbee trainings as well.Darn.I'm now slowly gaining weight at home.

I stayed home most of the time during my hollies reading novels on my bed.I came upon this book titled 'The Season'. Its a story regarding about the season they have in the old Victorian age for young men and women to find their mate.Young women would be attend many parties and balls on their 17th birthday with their stunning ball gowns to capture the hearts of the aristocrats.It gave me an image of meat been displayed for a pack of wolves to choose for dinner.

Somehow I just love Victorian age romance.It always sounds so pure.Just for a little thing like the touch of hands between a man n woman would trigger a spark between both of them.BUT! Its not exactly enjoyable because through the book I read, women in those days who wish to visit a man's house must be escorted by somebody.If not anyone who sees a woman entering a man's house unchaperoned would trigger a rumor.

I'm kinda happy to be in this century but I sometimes wish I was born in the olden days.I wish I was born in another country instead of Malaysia.I wish I was born in a perfect family.I wish I was born with a brain of a genius.I wish I was born with genes that allows me to grow taller.I wish I'm born with genes that doesn't allow me to grow fat no matter what I eat.I wish for many many things actually.Some of them I can make a change some I couldn't.

We often hear the phrase be happy with what you have.I tried to accept that because we really need to be happy with what we have.But what if what we have is not enough for us? What if we want more? I don't want to believe in that phrase because its sounded more like just let fate decide for you what you're suppose to be.

People tell me everything that happens to us is Fate..In my opinion I think everything that happened to me is a result of the choices and actions I took.

So my advice, don't admit to Fate.

Continue from the topic below

Well, this is how it all started.I have no idea why I suddenly have the feeling to get into all the cooking and baking stuffs.Weird huh..I went to my mum's friend's place on Saturday morning.Just to get some recipes.Then I learned how to make homemade spaghetti.Its kinda cool.Her house has a different feeling to it.It feels so American in it.Maybe its because of the cool gadgets she use to cook.

She explain the methods and ingredients needed for the pasta and its actually kinda simple to make it.We just need some kinda of special flour and a machine that helps us string the spaghetti.Whereas the sauce was even easier.Just onions and tomato chunks and puree for tomato sauce, and onions and whipping cream for Carbonara sauce.

Then we learned how to bake a cake call Orange Poppy Seed Cake.Yum its delicious but I didn't get the chance to write down the recipe.Maybe I'll get it from her when I can.Lastly is the apple salad with walnut.Just add in the veges you want,walnut and the sauce then its done.Maybe I'll post the recipes on my blog.

After that, we ate what she prepared and gosh its delicious.Then I remember about Annycia asking me about whether I know how to make meringue, so I ask my mum's friend for the recipe.Its so simple.Silly me for thinking how complicated it is.So meringue is in my list on what to make during the holidays.Jason will then be my guinea pig..hee.(:

Annycia! Im gonna make it.

this are the food she prepared

I learned how to be a CHEF.(so called)

Today I learned how to make homemade pasta,bake a cake, and make meringue!!..I'll post it on another time maybe after my exams.I couldn't blog about it now because I don't have the pictures.Thank my mum for that.She left it at her shop..Annycia! You must read that post yahh..Till then..

So here I am

I'm finally blogging now.I'm using my mum's laptop which I found my 'piu gu jeong' which stands for my cousin uncle's wedding pictures I took on his wedding.Finally a wedding! It was such a long time since I went for a wedding.

Teddy decoration on the wedding car.So Cute!

On the day of the wedding, me and my family gathered up at the church where they exchange vows and all.It was kinda boring during the whole ceremony because its a mandarin church.Gosh.The priest speaks mandarin and the songs are all in mandarin.I couldn't sing the songs because I couldn't read mandarin but luckily I understand what the priest was saying.
After that we went and have our breakfast, the church prepare some food.It was all typical Malaysian food.But the 'kuih' they prepared was yummy.I wasn't hungry but I manage to fill my stomach with a massive amount of it.Fatty me.

Then, we went to their house and take all the family pictures and all.It was SO stuffy.I was sweating although I wasn't doing anything but just standing there staring at the kindacute photographer.Oh! I forgot to mention that my 'piu gu jeong' hired 2 photographers to take pictures throughout the whole event.Including their wedding dinner.Rich fella.I saw their wedding pictures and it was BEAUTIFUL! The bride and the groom looked so happy in it.Plus they went to many places to get the right scenery.At that time, those beautiful wedding pictures made me feeling like I want to get married as soon as possible.
We went home around 2 and hang around till 6.I was just staying at home laying down and texting.Such a boring life I have.In the evening we went to a grand restaurant to attend their wedding dinner.The food was so so actually.I didn't enjoy much.Maybe I'm just used to those kind of typical grand chinese food.I even performed for them.I played my violin! Omgee!..It was okaay.My palms sweat as usual but everything was played well.After my performance, a few uncles and aunties started karaoke-ing on stage.Gosh.My eardrums could burst, but some elders didn't seem to mind.Well I can't help it, I'm the younger generation.

So..overall during the whole wedding, I didn't really enjoyed myself, but it was okay.Me and my 7 year old aunt took many pictures.She's such a camwhore.She's worse than me on that.Cute Joanne.(her name is Joanne).Seriously, when I was eating she kept on asking me to camwhore with her.And she's only 7.

One of the aunties singing.

Thats Joanne.Cute right?

Me TIME

Me have not been blogging lately thanks to the portfolios Me had to finish.Well eventually Me manage to finish everything portfolio Me had to do.Thanks to the He who helped me print some documents Me had to print.

Anyways, this few days, Me Love and Me Best Friend had been reminding Me about TIME.

TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN.

Me always know that quote but Me always think that Me have alot of time.So no worries.

Well THINK AGAIN!

When it was due to the time to hand in Me portfolios, Me just realize Me have not even start a page.Then Me had to finish up all Me portfolios.Then Me realize EXAMS are NEAR.

omgeee!

Me had to stay up all night finishing Me portfolios as fast as Me can.Luckily Me manage to finish them on time.If Me didn't do so, Me could lose 20% worth of marks from Me final exams.BUT! that was just luck.If Me didn't have the luck, Me would fail Me exams already.Now Me thinks Me don't have enough time to cover all Me subjects and topics before Me exams.

The Me from the beginning of the year always thought Me still got time to catch up with my studies.But by thinking that way, Me always think 'I'll do it tomorrow, I still got time'.Look what happened.Ended up, Me didn't study the following day, Me started studying only NOW and Me is suffering. Me is studying non-stop till me brains could burst due to the excess sudden information inserted into me brain.

So, Just remember people, do what you HAVE to do and WANT to do.

We would definitely love to stop time, but we just couldn't.

For example, look below...

Say 'Tak Nak'

Here I am, putting on my glasses and begin typing and searching for extra information on the internet.This phrase 'Tak Nak', I bet everyone know what its referring to.

We always see advertisements on television, signboards, newspapers, and even on the cigarette boxes about the problems relating to smoking.Smoking as we all know is dangerous.Not only to the person who is smoking, but to the people around them as well.To be frank, I use to think smoking is cool.Effects of watching too many dramas and animes.(Last time)

Well smokers know perfectly well about the effects of smoking, but they think those problems wouldn't be inflicted on them.

Think again.

Smoking harms smokers and people around them who are non-smokers.There was a guy who was aged 24 and he was attacked by a stroke caused by smoking.Twenty-four is not an old age.Its an age of a freshly graduated college student.Imagine if that student is a smoker and his/her grades are excellent.He/Her could get a job and receive their first salary.They could buy things for their loved ones and feel proud with it.

Unfortunately those dreams would come to an end.Because from the moment they start taking their first puff, it means they indirectly decided to cut 10 years off their life span.An ordinary person could live up to 60 maybe? 10 years deducted from their life span.You could do the math.

So, smokers STOP smoking.Its definitely not easy but like they say, 'where there is a will, there is a way'. For the non-smokers, DON'T avoid smokers because their breathe stinks or what-so-ever.

Non-smokers should at least provide all the help and support they can give to help the smokers quit smoking.Smokers would of course give a million excuses and eventually give in and decide to give it a try.That's better than nothing right?

Non-smokers should help the smokers lose that particular habit that harms us all.

Girls! Do not Despair

Girls, did you ever felt like what the guys are saying about us shopping is a waste of time because we just practically waste our time in the shopping complex when we can do some other stuffs? Beneficial stuffs? Well girls, do not despair.

This post is tells them that spending our time in the shopping complex is actually something that benefits not only us girls but guys as well.

Anyways everyone of us knows that girls are the ones spending their time and money going shopping.Even if they don't shop, they would just go to shopping malls and window shop which guys think its a waste of time.

Think again.

Shopping can be considered as a good form of exercise.

What do I mean?

Well like all girls, each and every one of them would want to look presentable.By doing so, they would have to watch their weight.So they'll start exercising.Many girls think that by doing heavy exercises like getting active in a sport, it would get them to lose weight.Unfortunately many girls doesn't exercise consistently.For example.Me! Well, for my case Im just too lazy.(woops).

Heavy exercises doesn't really promote weight loss.Why? Lets take jogging as an example.Jogging may promote weight loss but only at a consistent pace.Beginners would definitely try to keep it consistent and may try to push past present limits to convince themselves that they had done a proper work out.

 

By pushing pass your limit, your heart rate would increase higher than usual and it will be impossible to burn a large percentage of fat.In order to burn a large amount of fat, we would have to exercise regularly and at a regular pace.Im not declaring that jogging is not a good form of exercise but for overweight n sedentary people(couch potatoes) its a lil too much for them to handle because their body would demand more energy compared to a fit person.

So..what kind of exercise fits us couch potatoes the most?

The answer is....(drumrolls)....WALKING!...why?

Firstly, walking enables us to workout at a steady and consistent pace which matches the requirement for us to burn our fats effectively.Its an exercise that stretches our and strengthens our leg muscles.Girls! We have hope to get model-like legs!! Plus this is an exercise that almost everyone can do.In fact we all walk everyday right? Even at home you're walking but its just not enough.

Do you know walking has other benefits as well? Such as:

• Increase health and fitness(stamina)
• Boosts energy levels
• Decrease in health risks

 But..

Where are we going to walk? In the streets? Nahh....

Then? where to?

 Girls you'll like it,

Guys, I don't think you'll like it,

Where??

Shopping Complex!!

Girls, we all know we can shop till we drop.We can walk around the shopping complex for hours.Am I wrong? I use to hate shopping actually because for me, its so tiring.When I got older, I started to have the desire to shop for pretty fancy things.

Some people would think shopping may cause a hole in their pockets.So lets not shop.Lets do some window shopping.We can see it but we won't buy it.Its hard of course especially for girls.Therefore I have a solution for you.Before you decide to grab it and place it on the counter table, think on whether is it really necessary for us to get it.It would help you in the future as well. Huh? How? 

It helps mend back the hole in your future husband's pocket.

 

Walking is easy to do as well.Firstly, we don't require any equipment.We wouldn't need to spend our money on getting all the exercising gears which are costly.

Secondly, its easy to participate.You don't need to wear those sport shoes and running outfits.Girls can be in your skinny tight jeans,super high heels or simple sandals which matches your cute sexiest top.

Whereas guys, you can wear your 'Adidas', 'Nike' shoes or your comfortable slippers, be in unstretchable jeans or pants that goes together with your expensive and branded 'Billabong' or 'QuickSilver' T-shirts.

Lastly, walking alone can be somehow depressing.So, you can get your friends to go along with you.It will be fun when you're doing something with your friends.Like they say, the more the merrier.

 

So girls, lets start SHOPPING!!

 Guys! Go accompany the girls!

Who knows? You might get lucky.

Guys, don't follow this example

 

Girls, This body is what we should aim for.(haha)

Im being realistic.

These are the legs we girls would get.(woots!)

Follow his example guys.

Then mayybe, just maybe you'll get lucky.

My Baby Milo Dinosaurr

My Baby Milo Dinosaur (Half finished already)

Here I am again.I spent my evening thinking about what to blog because I have seriously no idea on what to blog about.Then...

"ting!"(light bulb)

I know what to blog about already! Fast huh?

Its about a drink called Milo Dinosaur.Funny name eh? But this drink really taste good.I 1st tasted this one of a kind drink when Jason brought me to Benasir(mamak stall) to buy me lunch.If I can remember correctly he ordered Roti Milo and Milo Dinosaur.While we were walking to that mamak after school he was swinging his hands and saying I have to try it.He made it sound like its a MUST.

So I tried the Roti Milo.Its tasted milo-ish n oily but sweet.I gave in to the sweetness but its a weird combination of milo and 'roti canai'.Next was the Milo Dinosaur.I felt like a judge for a cooking competition tasting the food the mamak fella made.The only thing missing was the cameras.

Just for the record.Milo dinosaur is a just your ordinary milo drink with the milo powder on top of it only.

Then..hmmmm...yummy! It tasted good.But a lil to sweet because they added some condensed milk on top.So that's my 1st.The 2nd time I tried was when Jason made it for me.He just make milo as usual but added the milo powder on top.Then its my turn to make it.Seriously mine tasted way better than his.His milo was so diluted that I couldn't even taste anything.All I can taste is cold diluted water with just a small hint of milo.

Mine was just perfect.I made my 1st milo in my mum's big cup and with warm water not cold.Somehow I don't like cold milo.Anyways, my homemade Milo Dinosaur was rich with the milo taste and I topped it with loads of milo powder in it.I recommend when you make your milo, its better to make it warm.Cold doesn't have the 'umph' feeling if you get what I mean.

And there it is.My Baby Milo Dinosaur.Damn it tasted good

Now Im drinking it while blogging.Yummy!

Here are some pictures on how it actually looks like.

Milo Dinosaur

Haha.Guess whos that.

The Meaning of Raya

As we all know Raya is coming.Its either on this coming Thursday or Friday.A friend of mine told me yesterday it all depends on the moon.

I was wondering what was Hari Raya about.Till now I have no idea what it means.What a Malaysian I am.tsktsk.So I decided to be a true Malaysian(kononnya) n do some research about it.As we know the full name(?) for Hari Raya is Hari Raya Aidilfitri.In the Arabic manner its called as Eid ul-Fitr.. cool huh? While Hari Raya literally means 'Celebration Day'

Hari Raya is considered to be one of the biggest holidays in our country Malaysia.Basically many shopping malls and bazaars are filled with people.Not only muslims, but other people with different cultures due to the discounts and mega sales stickers advertised in newspapers,tv advertisements and so on.

During this festival,muslims would travel back to their hometown to visit their relatives in order to forgive each another and celebrate Hari Raya with the whole family.Its called as 'mudik'.Then they would greet one another by saying "maaf zahir dan batin" which means 'Forgive my physical and emotional(wrongdoings)' because Hari Raya Aidilfitri doesn't only mean celebration but it also means a time for to ask for forgiveness for the wrongdoings that they had done in the past but is cleansed by fasting.Now we know why they fast huh.

This celebration is the happiest day for the children because their parents or the elders would give them money.Known as 'duit raya'.(jealous.Last of all is they would celebrate this festival by lighting up fire crackers but if im not mistaken lighting up fire crackers are banned in Malaysia but we still light them up.hehe.who cares? =P


Well, for me the best part about Hari Raya are the food.Special dishes suck as ketupat,dodol and lemang would be served when relatives and friends visit one another.If you're lucky and get invited to any open houses during Raya, be sure to try them.You'll not regret it.Better yet, just knock on their doors and invite yourself in.Haha.

Thats all I have to say for now

Here are some pictures about the special dishes I mentioned.

 

Ketupat (you don't eat the leaves)

Lemang (yummy)

Dodol (comes in different flavours such as durian, pandan)

Selamat Hari Raya!!

A New Blog

So..this is like my 2nd blog in my life.The reason i decided to blog is because..Im bored.I have practically nothing to do when im online.After switching the computer on.I would visit Facebook only. What a life huh.

 Now I started to visit blogs.For example like Joanne's blog,Jason's sister blog and Jyen Yiee's blog and I started to have a thinking that says maybe blogging would be fun.So now here it is.

Thats all for now.
