Bothered..

Bothered, that's what I am. Bothered as in worried, disturbed or upset.  


Why exactly? Well I can't really tell you why but i'm pretty sure most people will come to a stage in life when you are just "bothered" by everything. 


I go to a church where my parents are "leaders". Boy, it's no fun. Church problems become my problem. Whether or not I asked for it. (p.s. I'm not even baptized) But then again, baptizism probably means nothing to many people. Oh well.. Life sucks.. Tell me what's new... 


Then there's optometry.. 
Do I want to be an optometrist? The answer is no. 
Is there anything I can do about it? I honestly don't know. 
I used to tell all my working class friends who complain about work to "change it if you're not happy with it". 
I would love to take my own advise. If my parents didn't pay close to a 100k for my education. Or if  I was in a public university. If I haven't spent the last 3.5 years studying and moaning about it. 


And the latest development in optometry school (my school anyways)
It seems like since my school is "new" we need to work under a registered optometrist for a year to get our license. Bla.. there goes my "dream" of joining culinary school after all is said and done. 


Then there's my weight.. that's probably the only thing I can control at the moment. And yes, I am going to take my own advise on this. I don't like my weight and I will change it. 


Steve Job said, "when you find something you love it will all fall in place, we need to have faith that everything will work out" 


I am still searching. 
In the meantime, I will enjoy the little pleasures life brings. Like stripey socks...

Kuala Lumpur - What to do?

So, my cousins just came back from the US of A for their once in 3 years visit. Understandably it's a HUGE this for my family. 3 years is a long time in the development of Malaysia timeline. So much can happen in 3 years, new buildings and places of "interest" can sprout out like little mushrooms all over town.

So it's no wonder that I have been scratching my head thinking of where to bring my cousins. The first thing I thought about was the endless variety of food that they have been missing out on having lived so far away from home. The funny thing was after one whole week I still can't think of any PLACES of INTEREST in KL that does not involve food.

Hehe... I thought of wanton mee, chee chong fun, yee mee, fried kuey teo, roti, nasi lemak, ikan bakar and the list goes on.
With the list of food, we set out to eat them all at the more famous places in KL.
My cousins being HUGE fans of WANTON mee we set out to find the best wanton mee stall in KL. Having live and grow up in Bangsar, we were pretty bias about the best wanton mee being in Lucky Garden. Unfortunately for us which time we went they were sold out! We decided that it wouldn't be a trip wasted and decided to try the other "famous" delicacy that was just around the corner. Sarawak Laksa, yummy... just the thought of it stimulates my saliva glands and increases my heartbeat! The laksa was super duper yummy, It came with 3 huge(medium) sized prawns, shred eggs, bean sprout, chicken and the yummy chewy beancurd and it was just peppery enough! Simply heavenly!

The next items on our itinerary for the day was Digital Mall and the Movies. Well Digital Mall for the obvious reasons (DVDs, Flash drives, hardwares). Ps if you are intending to buy original software make sure you go to the official dealers. After Digital Mall which was located at SS14, we went to Tropicana Mall for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Being Wednesday, we only paid RM6.50 (Extra RM0.50 because my bought the tickets through the Iphone app) per ticket which my cousins found CRAZY cheap as it was only about 2USD. They loved the theater so much that they want to schedule a movie marathon for next week.

After the movie, we did some shopping at Tropicana City Mall itself and followed by dinner at Grandma's. Half an hour later, my cousin(local one) decided that we should head over to SS2 for KTZ. They serve the best traditional desserts in town. From the famous icy MAT TOH LOH to the savoury delicacies such as loh mai kai and siew mie (dimsum). We had all the "Loh" and then the savoury seaweed roll and fried tofu. It was AWESOME! as if that was not enough, my uncle suggested we go for grilled sting ray and the works.

Just across the road was the famous "wai xie kai" (translate into the greedy street, pretty funky if you ask me). There we had the grilled sting ray, otak-otak, fried oysters and the chee chong fun. It was all good.

After a day of endless eating we decided to call it a night and continue the next day. After all, there's still the Lucky Garden Wanton Noodles to crave after.

YES it was that GOOD! Still is.

Fried Oyster and Otak-otak

Cupcakes! Facial! and Weddings!

I'm so freaking EXCITED and STRESSED at the same time! My finals and the wedding of the MONTH falls on the same FREAKING week!

I'm excited cause obviously weddings make me excited! On top of that, I get to make the wedding cupcakes!!!
It took us almost 4 months to decide on what cake base to use! And another 3months to decide on what "cup" to use!!  MADNESS if you ask me!

Unfortunately, last minute stuff keep popping up! GRRRR.. nothing is going MY way.. My exam schedule was supposed to stop on wed, meaning that I will have the time to bake the cupcakes on thu. ARgh! Just last week the new revised schedule was posted and my VIVA was schedule to thursday, 4pm!
Now I can't sit and I can't eat..
Then to the cherry on the topping, my thesis is due on Saturday and Dr A#$% wants me to present before that date! Does that mean I have to go back to school on Friday I asked? He reply ask your supervisor. Bla.. My supervisor used to be the director of the hospital and is a very very busy man! He see on an average of 100 patients daily! To schedule an appointment to see him is like waiting for the blue moon!

I really need divine help.

Taiping - Bukti Larut Experience

Last week, I went for the most remote church camp ever! In remote I mean the location.
The "entrance" to Bukti Larut is located just next to Taiping Lake and we were greeted with the sight of huge Land Rovers! Not a pretty sight as they were all OLD and RUSTY!

After 30minutes of torturous curves and winding road, we finally reached our destination. There was a bungalow waiting for us. I thought happily to myself "Yay!!! we're finally here! Time for a nice long HOT shower!". Unfortunately, my little bubble was popped when I was informed that the location we were staying at was another 15-20mins trek away!!! Up the stair and slopes!

Honestly, I was pretty upset and before I knew it someone screamed LEECH! Ewww! Oh how I hate the jungle! Fortunately, I must have done something right in the passed week, as I managed to evade all leech attack.

By the time I got to the peak, I was greeted by the sight of the most run downed bungalow ever! Well, since I've been to the national service camps I guess I've seen worst. Brushing my unhappiness aside I decided to go take a shower and enjoy the fresh air.

Grabbing my clothes and arming myself with my shower kit, I headed to the showers with a skip to my step! I hit the switch expecting the shower room to be bathed in light and the heater indicator to light up. To my surprise(NOT) nothing happened.

ARGHHHH!!! No ELECTRICITY!!! Disappointment!

Bla.. fine I told myself, time to entertain and enjoy myself while waiting for the power to return. I whip out my Iphone wanting to take some LOMOfied photos and cut some fruits. GRRR! Unfortunately the only sight to greet me was a warning sign "10% battery remaining" DAMN IT! Nothing is going right. Like adding oil to the fire, I was just told that since it was a Saturday TNB(electrical company) would not do anything about the power situation!

Imagine being stuck on a "mountain" far away from home with nothing to do, no phone/internet line and no electricity! ARGHH!!!

Before I knew what to do, it got dark and started to get cold! HECK I told myself, Just go get that shower. And so I did.

Amazingly as icy cold as that water was, I did not feel cold after the shower. I was amazing and as if God answered my city girl prayers, the power returned!!

I knew I was depended on electricity, but I did not know how much until that day! What I thought was going to be the hardest and most boring 4 days of my life, actually turned into one for the best 4 days of my life. I really have to say that it is probably one of the most enjoyable and memorable church camps so far!

I guessed being stuck in the middle of no where will make you "interact" more with the people stuck with you.

Amen.

Survivor Of The Froggiest!

I can't believe it has been more than a month since my last post! May has been a completely CRAZY month!!! I've been so completely occupied by everything that I've neglected my blog! 

Anyways, just a little update on my little "tadpoles" they've become frogs!!! 

When i came back from my church camp I checked up on my little froggy pond and to my surprise there was nothing left except for fishes!!! 

I went hunting around and found one little froggy! It was the size of a 5cent coin! 

So now I have a pet frog.. but I've no idea what to feed it!!! 

Hell to the NO!

Argh!!! Hell no! 

Can you please please please STOP asking people if they have a brother each time we go out!? BLA! I am HAPPY the way I am. I don't need a "BOY" to make me feel good about myself. 

Also, STOP offering your EXs to me! I don't care how HOTT they are. It's disgusting, you had them first, together with whatever disease they had. Yuck. No one like hand me down. 

Stop treating me like a CHARITY case! 

Stop trying to change me! If a person cannot like me because of my hair then they are definitely not worth my time! I mean come on HAIR? like hair no! U want someone with good hair go date a runway model or a movie star. 

Want me to look F*ing NEAT everyday? Do it yourself! I had ENOUGH! 

Please leave me be. 

Yes, I am going to start swearing. 

HELL NO to your controlling ways, LOVE me for who I AM!
