Cendol

I don't know what to write.Yet, I'm reluctant to leave.
Amos is still asleep.
I bought him a new toy, a running wheel.
Excited to see him play.
But no, he's such a sleepy head.
If only he'd wake up now.
I need attention.........

View: from top   



He normally sleeps in a coconut.
Rarely, he goes into the toilet roll for peaceful sleep.
Maybe it's me.
I had been bugging him too much?
He. Is. Nocturnal. =(



It's my turn to present tmr.
Topic being "cyst".
I know nuts abt it.
At least I have my slides ready.
Let me tell you a secret.
I've been waiting for tmr for ages.
I like presenting.
But...
i'm feeling LAZY to read up now.
Hopefully I won't bore my classmates too much.


Dr. Ajay asked me today, if I could read mandarin.
No, i said.
Why, he asked.
I didn't go to chinese school, I replied. Anyway, those are lines, can't be read.
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? Sing Ying overheard.
Mandarin shall never be made an international language. It's such an ineffective language. I said aloud.
Dr.Ajay laughed to agreement.

I've been trying so hard to learn mandarin.
Many said I've improved.
I'm glad.
But still, it doesn't change how I feel abt this language.
Too complicated.


Going home this weekend for CNY break/study break/assignment break.
Whatever it is, a holiday's a holiday. =)

Going out for a drink.
Will TRY to wake Amos up before I go out. =)

I'm in love again.

Sometimes I take a peep at you
Sometimes I hope
I want your attention
If only you knew.

My heart tickles
when yr hand touches mine
It doesn't matter
if you bite.

I smile when you scold
you have a sexy voice
I love watching
you eat so carelessly.

Today you may not
tomorrow neither
One day you will
fall for
me.





 My love, Amos =)

A Bundle of Joy

I've been wanting to blog for such a long time, but never gotten the chance to do so due to super busy schedule.
This morning the first thing I could think of when I opened my eyes was BLOGGING.

So here are the updates:



 
1) New Year's Eve

As usual, I celebrated it with the Jing bangs.
It has been 8 years since we did this together.
I don't thk any of us realized how quickly time passed.
There were times where some of us couldn't make it, but whenever we could, we would.
It is a really rare opportunity when all of us get to be together, so I always try to make it to this annual celebration.
If i'm not mistaken, I actually missed it in 2008, 2007 and 2006 when i was in Argentina and India.


These pictures remind me of the happy times we had.
I love you girls so much!

2) Dinner making

We all put a night at Jill's place.
I dozed off at 4 or 5am, some stayed up till 6am, I don't know what they were doing.
We all woke up ard noon the following day.
After gobbling up ytd's left over, we headed to bangsar village for grocery shopping.
We had a plan of making ourselves dinner, to celebrate our belated 21st bdays together (except for Val).
To think abt it, it's pretty ironic to celebrate our 21st bday on the 1st of jan 2011, when we already turn 22.
We had a REALLY hard time thinking of what to cook.
Finally, we all agreed to this:


Menu: Wantan mee and soup
I forgot the name of the dessert but it's made of gula malacca and sago

Sam's in charge of dessert


Val offered a helping hand, though at home she hardly enters the kitchen.


Fern was observing. She's got some new interest in cooking I thk? =)


Melting the gula malacca in a non stick pot.


Minced pork for the wantan filling.


I marinated it with oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, sesame oil.


Mixing them well.


Everybody's effort in wrapping wantans.
First time for many of us, that explains the funny shapes. =)


The extra minced pork was rolled into balls.



*

I then cooked the wantans in boiling water.


I used chicken as the wantan soup base.
My first time making wantan soup actually.


I boiled the vege in the soup for a couple of mins and lifted them before they become too soft.


Yummy.


This is what my friends were doing while I was busy in the kitchen.

Val helping with the dishes.


Now comes the wantan noodle.
Basically, I added some sauces in the bowl before boiling the noodles.


This is how it looks before it was mixed.
The sauces was below the noodle.


Dinner was ready. ;)

So that was it.
We had lots of fun together.
I'm missing you guys already.
The next time we're meeting is probably end of this year. =S



3) Family reunion


My parents finally came back to Malaysia for good after the 5 year stay in Argentina.
Joanne and I went down to KL to stay with them in Grand Millenium hotel for the weekend.
Yvonne was there too, so the 5 of us spent our weekend together.
Though short, we had a great time; chit chatting, opening gifts and laughing away.

Daphne and Swan Boon came up to penang on Tues.
We were hanging out together for a couple of days and then they flew off to China on Thurs.
I'm missing them already.
I actually sacrificed my studying time for them, but it was worth it.=)
Thank god I still managed to do okay despite reading only on the morning of the exam day.

We did camwhore a lot but the pics are all with Daph.
Will upload them once she posts them on FB. =)




I do not know if I have a habit of snapping at innocent ppl when i'm moody, but I personally thk it's pretty rude and unfair to do so.


I guess i'm heading to bed already.
Just came back from a failed attempt to get movie tickets.
Really exhausted.
Eyelids are involuntarily closing.

So, goodbye and goodnight. =)
