#2010memories + #2011cleanslate

I can’t believe 2010 was so yesterday even though it’s been a month already. Honestly, I felt that time passes by oh-so-quickly last year. It really almost feel like everything just happened recently, because I could remember every single micro details of 2010.

* * * * * * * * *

The College LifeCollege

The Micro Details I Remembered - Like how I made friends with whom on my first day in Sunway University, how the class was so quiet during our first lesson of Management Information. Looking back, no one could have believed or expected that, that bunch of awfully quiet students could be so loud and boisterous one year later. Really, college life has been nothing but fun. Yes, of course there were the stressful bits of last minute cramping of studies, the failing in both of my mock exams and some other shit but it was all these experiences that made 2010 what it was. And for that I am thankful. Someone once told me, “Life begins during college.” I couldn’t agree more.

The Egyptian Hair Do Part  Me

The Micro Details I Remembered – Who could have possibly forget this! Haha, I decided to have fringe and I ended up looking like a kid! Well, you see I haven’t been able to keep a fringe because I had curly hair, so when I rebonded my hair, I told my stylist that I wanted fringe. And so happens that was when the new semester started; I remember going back to college and some of my friends couldn’t recognize me, thinking that I was a new student in the class. That was hilarious! I loved this hairstyle but I wouldn’t do it again because having a fringe is oh-so-troublesome.

My 18th Birthday Part

page

The Micro Details I Remembered – Like how I actually wasn’t looking forward to July 30, 2010 because I was so afraid that I would be covered in flour, torched with a lighter and doused with paint. It sounds like ‘what the hell’, right? But that was what Reuben said would happened to me on my birthday. Haha, but thanked God none of those happened. Instead, I just got pushed into the cake. Which I think wasn’t even part of the plan. STILL. OMG. Despite that, I still love my friends. Duh, who wouldn’t! Thank you CFAB Batch 2 again for the surprise and presents. Thank you, Teddy for the Manhattan Fish Market lunch and the awesom-est charm bracelet ever! Thank you Mich and Leon for the birthday lunch at Pasta Zanmai. Thank you, my dear parents for the my birthday dinner of pork ribs and prawns. Thank you for all the wishes on FB also (sorry I couldn’t reply you all). I love you all.

The Nail Polish Mania

page page1

The Micro Details I Remembered – 2010 has got to be a year that I discovered the wonders of nail polish and I’ve been hooked on it (LOL, sounds like I’m addicted to a kind of drug) ever since. I know it sounds so pathetic that after 18 years of my life, have I only just discovered nail polish. Haha, I now have like 14 nail polish? I was so into nail polish that basically my parents started putting a time period of how often I change the colours! Ohamgee, right? It was that bad.

Food, Glorious Food!

Food

The Micro Details I Remembered – Well, I’m not going to go into details about what each and every food in this picture means to me, but basically these are some of my favourite food and also those nicely shot by Cammy too. And note that I have included my mom’s homecooked food here also! She is the best cook ever! Hearts!

Cammy’s Awesome Shots

IMG_0675 IMG_0777 IMG_1969 IMG_1870

The Micro Details I Remembered – The.pictures.are.too.pretty.for.me.to.describe.anything. :) Honestly, Cammy was one of the best things that happened to me last year. I never knew I was so into photography until I got Cammy and that was when I started sharpening my photography skills. I’m still learning as everyday passes by, hoping that by the time I get my D7000, I could shoot drop dead gorgeous pictures.

IMG_4206 My personal favourite. Which is my header now. Hearts.

2011’s here, babes!

Don’t think I need to do a recollection of 2011 because it is only the first month, but it already feels like a rollercoaster ride. It’s up and down, mostly down in the past few days. Hell, who cares. I know this will be an awesome year. And I know, somehow, I will make it through it all. Thank you each and everyone of you for being in my life. It’ll be another great year ahead with you all. :)

2010’s Christmas Week!

Christmas is finally here! I know I’m a bit late in getting into the Christmasy celebration mood. Haha, well I admit, it’s been a rather hectic week for us all too, right? I mean, there are good food, awesome company, gifts and more good food and more …. well, you get the idea. :)

Gu Yue Tien, Chulan Square

IMG_5445

Daddy brought the family to this Chinese restaurant to celebrate the Winter Solstice festival. Basically, he decided to come after reading a food review in The Star newspaper. Apparently, they serve really rare, good Hong Kong delicacies. (And also, because there is a All You Can Eat promotion going on now.)

IMG_5453 Delicacies like what, you ask? Guess what is dish is this.

itisducktongues!

Like OMG right?! There is even a soft bone in the middle!

IMG_5457 Grilled squids! This is tasty, must try if you’re there.

IMG_5460 Unagi rolls! This reminds me of something rather Vietnamese. Delicious, another must try.

IMG_5461 This is Fried Oyster and it doesn’t taste as good as it looks. The fritter batter was too thick and the oyster didn’t even taste like an oyster.

A word of advice, don’t eat their fried stuff and oh, the Shangai Siew Long Bao too. Overall, the food is just so-so. If I had to pick between a roadside stall to this restaurant, I might consider the stall actually. I feel so mean. LOL.

IMG_5430 Well, I don’t look mean here. :)

The Christmas Turkey Lunch!

“Another meaning for the word Jakun in the classic Malay is a derogatory term for a person who doesn't know something common. – Wikipedia

Call me a ‘jakun’ but I have never seen a whole roasted turkey in my whole entire life before. But I have eaten one before, so actually I’m not that bad actually. So, I was kind of excited when my uncle and aunt told me that this year, they will be making a roasted turkey for their Christmas lunch!

IMG_5492 Grilled tomatoes, garlic and onions! And no, the turkey is not underneath that foil.

IMG_5494 The 4 hours long stuffed roasted turkey is here!

IMG_5500Ta-da! Looks like a huge bird to me! The butt is covered with a lemon to prevent the pork belly and chestnut fillings from spilling out. And there is bacon on the skin of the turkey!

 IMG_5497 Mumsy with the baked potatoes and Mr. 5.5 kg turkey. Aunt Tracy ready to ‘murder’ the turkey. Muahaha.

IMG_5480 Me, the tree and mumsy.

page We look so happy here, it feels like a crime to smile. Hahaa.

Boxing Day Date with J.

Uh-huh. I finally managed to meet up with my beloved, Julia on Dec 26. I haven’t seen her for months. Oh, god. I do miss high school when we could see each other every other day. Since I’ve got free passes to watch Gulliver’s Travel, I asked her out and surprise surprise, her schedule was free. You must understand that J is a very busy woman. HAHAHA. Which is quite true actually.

Gullivers-Travels-Movie-2010-Banner

So, let me rate the movie. Out of 10, I give it 6 only. Honestly, the movie didn’t really emphasize much on Jack Black’s natural humour. Basically, the script and the storyline is tad boring although they tried to inject humour into it. But somehow, it doesn’t really work.

page1

See the top right picture? It was taken in the Kitschen changing room where I spend gazillion hours buying dresses and I just left J sitting outside waiting for me to get-it-done-and-over-with-already. Luckily, her knight in shining armour aka Daryl came and rescued her from her shopping-crazy-best-friend which is me. And that is Daryl, in the pink Polo shirt.

A huge thanks to my friend who got it for me.
