A walk in the park. [With Cammy] – Part 2

Considerably, the worst shot for today’s walk. I may sound a little too critical about my photographs - I know right. But this was shot without looking through my lens. I placed Cammy underneath the leaves and just snapped away. Actually looks fine-lar!

 I know this is a super plain shot. But I took it because I just felt like it. It’s simple, nice and free from clutter. Ah, such a peaceful shot, don’t you think so?

Do you know what this reminds me of? The speck of dust which fell on the flower! From the movie, Horton Hears a Who! This flower certainly looked something like that.

 Spot the similarity! :)

 And guess who I meet there at the park? A ladybug! I’m so happy! It’s my first time seeing one and I managed to see a baby one also, but too small for me to take a picture of. :D

 Ladybug, ladybug, ladybug!

I would have never found these little wonders if it wasn’t for my brother who kept pestering me to bring him to the park. Luckily he dragged me there because I was so bloody stressed out and annoyed with my portfolio, I could use the fresh air. And I came back home, feeling lighter and happier.

And, out of the blue when my brother was gaming, I showed him a picture of a guy with 6 packs. I said, “Kah Lok, you must look like that next time.” He said, “Ewwwwwww.”

Hi. Have we met before?

Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge is here!

This is not an April’s Fools joke, it has been confirmed that the Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge will in Kuala Lumpur on April 9. :)

So, what is this JW Black Circuit Lounge about? Well, Johnnie Walker (if you don’t already know) is a world’s leading Scotch whisky, and they have teamed up with the Black Circuit Lounge to bring you the party of the year that allows you to experience the Formula One lifestyle!

“What have you done to deserve the rewards of luxury and a successful lifestyle?”

“Me? I’m a girl. I was born to wear diamonds, to be pampered, showered with only the best in life and nothing short of that. Go ahead, ask any girls; they will tell you exactly the same thing.”

Not everyone was born with a diamonds encrusted silver spoon. I certainly wasn’t one of those girls. I was brought up to work my small ass off for what it’s worth, to always finish what I’ve started and to never give up in the blink of an eye. Because of that, I am who and where I am now. Would you believe me if I said in a few years time, I would be flying business class, to countries that I have only previously dream off? Watch me, then you’ll know I’m not fooling anyone.

But before all this happens, I would be partying at Johnnie Walker’s Black Circuit Lounge this coming 9th April. :) Want to know where you can get your hands on those passes? www.blackcircuit.com.my/facebook

“Never Drink And Drive.”

Soulless April’s Fools.

There are days when you feel so empty, alone, ugly. You think that you should put on make up to cover those flaws. But they don’t seem to help; they emphasizes more on your imperfections instead. Imperfections, you wonder why you can’t be fcuking perfect. That was all that you wanted anyway; why is it so hard on the soul to strive for perfection?  And while you’re on that impossible quest, you lose yourself, your friends, your loved ones.. you became someone else; you can’t even bear looking at yourself in the mirror. The only thing you’ve ever had was yourself and you’ve lost it. What do you do? You wished things would be like they used to. Then, you realised you’re back to square one, feeling empty, alone and ugly. And that life is a vicious cycle.

Up, Up and Away! - Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2011

It is not everyday that Malaysian get to see hot air balloon but at least we do get a chance to see it once a year. This time around, Mommy managed to convince Daddy to drive all the way to Putrajaya for the Hot Air Ballon Fiesta. So, I was at the fiesta! Haha, it is my first time seeing a hot air balloon live. I wouldn’t say it’s life changing, awestruck-ed moment… come on, it’s just balloons right? But honestly, it is something to be experienced at least once in my life.

Meow!

So huge, right? And I thought those two circles look somewhat like the Master card logo.

Haha, it got a little crowded after some time.

At first  I didn’t get why would anyone make a sad clown face as a balloon…. then…

  .. I realised that things are always not the way it seems to be. :)

I think this was my best shot for the day. I mean, it’s quite okay considering that I took it during cloudy skies. 

This was one of the unique balloons, but sadly they didn’t fly this balloon. It would have looked niceee.

Somehow, I thought this picture looks like it was taken somewhere out of Malaysia. Don’t you think so? Must be the colours of this picture. Haha.

 And this was during the ‘Night Glow’ performance. There were music and the balloons were ‘flashing’ according to the music. Don’t get it? Watch the video. :)

 

All in all, I think it was pretty nice to get a chance to see the life size hot air balloons although I’ll admit that I wished the skies were clearer that day. I probably be able to take much nicer pictures! Haha, well I do need to practice more.

“Yu Peng” – Traditional Home Made Fish Cakes

I wonder if anyone or rather anyone’s grandparents still make these delectable fish cakes because these little small wonders are just so heavenly. But these requires specific skills and of course, the right recipe to make it work. My grandmother used to make this and boy, I miss those times. If only I had cherished those times. Nevertheless, my dad tried to make it last weekend, he didn’t exactly nailed it but yes, he did come close to it.

It’s a pity that I only get to eat these once a year, so I have decided to learn how to cook it. If I ever do make it the next time around, I’ll post it up.

Kimberly!

Miss her like crazeh! <3 Meet my oldest, closest and best-est friend in the world.  (and my eye bags too =.=)

Insanity Rantings

I’m sick. Yes, for the past week or so, I was sick; was it health related sick or more like sick of something? I’m going to say it is both. My sickness started from a extremely mild sore throat. I thought nothing of it and I just downed tonnes of water. The sore throat got worse and that lead on to mild flu. I took some Panadol and voila, I thought I was healed. Only to find myself shivering in 26 degree Celcius room a few days later, to know that I now have a 39 degree Celcius body temperature. My cheeks was flushed, my face was a deep red tomato and yes, I feel like shit. That was yesterday.

Today, I feel much better with a much lower body temperature. Thank you, God.

* * * * * * *

Sick of life? I wonder how many times would I have already said that. I do wonder sometimes, how and what can bring my spirits so damn low. A lot of things, really. Mostly petty stuff, but those are what that affects me the most. Like they say, it’s all the little things that matter. And that is true. Maybe I care too damn much about what others thought of me, it has always been that way with me. But then again, when will I get it that I am living this life for no one else but my own. If I’m happy doing what I do, then be it. Nothing else should matter then.

Yeap, nothing else at all.

The Wanted – Live in Kuala Lumpur.

Uh-huh, the UK boy band was here, like erm a few weeks ago but I only had the time to post up the pictures today.

So anyway, I managed to catch their showcase while they were here (thanks to Arthur’s sister, Trecia for the passes). Honestly speaking, I’m not a big fan of them but I love their hit single “All Time Low”. I mean, it is a pretty well written song, go hear it if you haven’t heard of it!

[I’m just going to post the pictures cause I’m so not into the mood to write today. Sowee. :3]

Best shot of the night!

Meet the only person who was willing to camwhore with me. :)

Hoppity Hop, here comes the Bunny year!

I know this beyond overdue because Chinese New Year has come and gone since like eons! And it took me that bloody long just to blog about it, but what the hell, I’ve been working late for the past few weeks and when I’m back, I’m really just so exhausted! It actually feels like my bed is sinking when I lie down on it. So anyway, this will be a picture filled post, so do bear with me as I went slightly over the top with my camwhoring pictures.

* * * * * * *

 Yee sang! Bunny shaped, what a cute way to welcome the Bunny year! Homemade by cousin sissy. <3

 The Feast! The Feast! The Feast! and the FAT too.

God! Look at the amount of firecrackers! You know what it felt like when they lighted them? I felt like I was in a warzone.

An annual ritual of lighting up the joss sticks.

  Hmm, I like these floating lanterns, but they are very dangerous! They might fall down and start burning houses!

 Because I was directly under the fireworks, I actually took this picture without looking at the camera.

 Chap choy. My first vegetarian meal of the Bunny year.

Baby Brandon is oh-so-cute! He likes to bite my fingers though. :)

 Rain rain go away. :( It rained during Chinese New Year!

Finally ate at the decades (?) old Sek Yuen! Food is quite good, it serves unusual dishes like the two above. The top one is the Pat Poh Stuffed Duck and the bottom one is Cold Jelly Chicken.

Meet the dragon biscuits that doesn’t even look like a dragon. Taste just as awesome though!

Playing poker with peanut as chips! These guys are plain hilarious. :)

A break from this world.

My lovelies. <3

If I were to take a break from this world and I could only bring two stuffs along with me, I would bring my Domo beanie (which I named him Dodomo) and my Canon S90, Cammy.

 Meet Little Dodomo with his new Lego earphones!

What I do at work.

Can you see those gazillion gray-scaled words in the picture above? Seems like a hell lot of words, right? Well, for the past few days, I typed more words than I ever had in one month. Because I am now the ‘typist’ in my engagement team, I had to extract minutes and sort, and boy, these public listed have tonnes of those meetings. And my internship experience wouldn’t be complete with a little run-around getting lunches. Haha, it’s not like I mind cause I would so rather get lunches than typing till I could fall asleep.

This was worth three ringgit, hours of pure hard work and yes, sweat.

Super thinly sliced arrowroots which are then deep fried, ‘nga ku’ in Cantonese. One of the most favourite homemade CNY delicacies. Whole family loved this, sissy bugged mom until she agree to fry it. Took them 5 hours, yo. Not easy, not easy. And, the hard work is all eaten up in 5 mins!

The Good Ole’ French Manicure

I have a confession. I have never done a French manicure before. Haha, it’s like I’m so obsessed with nails but I have yet to try the timeless French mani. I finally did it today and I just can’t get enough of it. Totally love it. I used Faceshop’s polishes for this, along with some stickers to guide me.

Valentine’s Day Guide: Forget those cliché gifts!

The most celebrated over-rated day is exactly two weeks away. Girls love this day, guys loathe the part where they have to crack their brains to think of what to get their beloved girlfriends without disappointing them, of course. And honestly, some gifts are so synonymous with this day that the prices rocket sky high. Plus they can be so cliche, it’s boring really to get that kind of gifts.

I would so prefer to get this kind of roses that will last an eternity than fresh roses. Plus, you know the guy actually put in tonnes of effort for this. Trust me, they are not easy to make.

Chocolates are too fattening! Unless you want your girlfriend to be fat, don’t give chocolates. Give her Sticky candies instead, they taste awesome! And they come in with I-love-you messages on it. And if your girlfriend needs chocolate to live, give her those strawberries dipped in choco. Mhmm, delicious.

 Teddy bears are so yesterday! These beanies and plushies are really much nicer to hug than a furry bear.

  I think if I got these for Valentine’s Day, I would go speechless… then scream OMG. Hahaha. Isn’t it sweet if your boyfriend turns up in a shirt with your initials on it.

Note: The pictures in this post are pretty, ain’t it? Some of them were taken from Google Images and some was taken by myself and grabbed from my friend’s FB. I took like a whole entire day editing these pictures and putting them into nice background in Photoshop! So do appreciate it. :)
