a little bit of sunshine

When people think of Port Dickson, they associate it with beach. A really really dirty beach. Guess what? I went there and what I saw was a really dirty and colourful beach littered with plastic bag in any colour possible. So much for wanting to play in the sea and building sand castles. But no fear! Our hotel makes up for the horrendous looking beach. (Doesn't look horrendous but pictures always make ugly things look pretty. When you walk up close to the beach you see black fragments floating around. Such a turn off =< ) Grand Lexis Hotel (formerly known as The Legend International Water Homes). It's awesome because... Not because it's on the sea...  Not because it has colourful slides in kiddy pools... (Which I played in yay!) But because every room has it's own private pool =D It is tiny but still, it's pretty cool ;) Figuratively and also literally. Because this private pool is not really exposed to the sun, it was freezing when we went in for a dip

a beautiful and cool month, full of rain and clouds in the overcast skies. My appetite come and go, but when it does come, it's unsatisfiable. Like that day, I was craving for something savoury. I had lots for lunch but yet, my stomach feels oddly empty =( So I did the thing that I can only do at home: dig through the food cabinet and fridge. And I end up making egg salad, and threw every possible thing I can get my hands on it.  4 eggs (Soft boiled!). Olives. Mayo. Italian herbs. And other stuff that I forgot. Served on oven-toasted bread =D  Bought cake from De Pastry Chef last week. I tried German Cheesecake. Nothing much to say. It's so-so.

It's the end of July and I barely posted anything here. It was an eventful month. Emotionally and physically. Worked as a promoter. Went to Klang with KMK sisters. Here I thank Hui Yi, Yi Ting, Ying Sze, Xuan Ling, EJ and Wei Ling again =) The seafood and bak kut teh was awesome hehe. And for the first time ever I was one of the driver O.O I never drove so much before but it was fun =) Hanged out with Ariel and Qis too. Watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 together and the movie was great! I miss HP and the gang already... And the next day we went to Urbanscapes! Truthfully, everything there was overpriced (but so cute), the music wasn't all that good (except for Liyana Fizi), the entrance ticket was expensive too. And the sun! I have a horrible tan line now... But being able to hang out with my friends made it all worth it =) Afternoons of my holidays are very uneventful and boring. I really need to find something to do >.< By the way here is som

I've been swimming so much this holiday that my swimming suit has gotten loose. Feels like my pants are gonna drop of whenever I swim and it's pretty annoying when I have to readjust the position of my pants when I'm trying to concentrate on my swimming. But loose swimming suits aside, swimming is pretty fun =) Never thought of myself as the swimming type of girl... Actually I'm still not a swimming type of girl but I'm too bored so I have to fill up my time with whatever activity position. There are many interesting things you can see when you go to a swimming pool. Kids screaming in the kids pool. Young parents teaching their baby how to swim in a yellow arm float (why must it always be yellow?). Old ladies in their swimming suit hanging out at the edge of the pool catching up with gossip. But personally, the best view at the pool when under the water. You get to see bodies of people you don't know hahahaha. I'm just joking I'm not a pervert =D Whi

Just, More pot pies. A lemon cheesecake (a really flat one though) Some pasta for the family =) Nothing better to do hence the mini food fest.

.... ARE AWESOME. But my family have got to stop buying these babies. RM7.90 for 100grams. It's not that cheap is it? =( Good food is never cheap... Except Pasar Malam food and some hawker food. And homecooked food. But you know what is annoying? My family is separated into two groups when it comes to Famous Amos: Chocolate Chip and Pecan eaters and No Nut eaters. I'm a Pecan eater and I always have to look spend extra time looking into the cookie bag to look for those with pecans. Why can't we all just be pecan lovers? =( Just bought this yesterday and me and my sis (No Nut eater) are halfway through the packet already.  Munch munch. They are even better with cold milk ;) Hmm. Been feeling weird lately =/

One of the few English books (or rather, the only English book) that my brother reads is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. And it's a really good book =D Funny, witty, dumb and also cute. They even made a movie out of this book, so that must be saying something right? Two movies. Out of a children's book! Haha so I was reading one of the books just now, the latest installment, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. My brother was so enthusiastic about the book that he bought it in hard cover =.= Tada! When I open the book, guess what I saw?  If you still don't get what I am talking about, my brother crossed out the author's name and written in his own name. Sometimes he can be really funny XD Nothing much is happening with my life boring life now. Job searching isn't successful and... I dunno lah. It's hard. That day we also had a mini family reunion. A pre-delivery celebration for my cousin. She made delicious laksa (had 1 1/2 bowls of it and I was bloated!) and made blueber

Visited this place last week. It was a really really  last minute trip. And we only ended up here because our driver (aka dad) misunderstood mom's words. She wanted to go Bukit Tinggi, a small hillside village beside the highway on the way back from Kuantan for dinner but dad assumed she wanted to go Berjaya Hills. But it's all good =) It's been years since we've been here and I have to say, nothing changed. Except for the addition of a Pusat Latihan Perumahan thingy and a mosque en route to the French village looking place (as shown in photo below). Oh and the buildings look kinda dilapidated. There are some renovation work going on. I mean, you can see the equipments required for renovation is there but you don't see the workers. Hmm... Colmar Tropicale. Cool weather (Not as cold as Genting though). Fresh but occasionally you smell horse poop. Haha.  Saw this knight armor in the hotel lobby and I couldn't resist taking a photo with it XD Reminds me of Alp

The unproductive life is really getting onto me and so I made a list of things to do. Hopefully I will bring myself to do them and not brood about being lifeless for the rest of the holidays. You can always find something to do right? After spending the whole of this morning feeling useless and also watching cooking shows on Food Network Asia, I decided I had enough. No more lounging on the sofa staring at the TV. It's time to do something more productive. So I opened my laptop, Googled for some recipes and ended up with this: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fruit-recipes/apple-crumble Jamie Oliver's apple crumble. I have never tasted apple crumble before but I saw that I had all the ingredients needed for the recipe and thought: Why not? I didn't wanted to use all the apples, just in case the recipe fails and I ended up wasting ingredients, which will make me feel even more depressed and guilty. So I tweaked the recipe a bit and into the oven it goes! (The o

And I've been rejected twice today. Four times if you count all the times I've been rejected. And lots of more indirectly rejected me by cancelling off the 'part time' from their job vacancy sign outside their shop. Sigh. Been feeling pretty bored and desperate to find a job now but finally now I properly realise how people don't like to hire part timers. It's depressing arrrggghh. Actually I don't need a job because I'm broke (touch wood!) but because I have too much spare time. And too much spare time makes me a really really bored girl. And when that happens, I get really frustrated and makes me depressed and I feel like my life is not worth living. That's what happens when I get too much free time. PS: If anybody reading this now and knows any job I can do please tell me! XD

Don't like why the majority of people thinks long hair is superior than short hair. Just saying. Scientists view long hair as playing a large part in any animal species' natural selection, since long, thick and healthy hair is frequently a sign of fertility and youth. [1]  As hair grows slowly, long hair reveals several years of a person's health status and reproductive fitness. Hair length is significantly correlated with female attractiveness, as rated by men as well as women. [2] (From Wikipedia) And I'm too lazy to take care and demonstrate my sign of fertility and youth. So troublesome ;P Can't wait to chop off my hair again after I try out how longer hair looks like on me. Muahahaha! And also the reaction of people after they see me in my short hair =P Oh and there is this from Wikipedia too: East Asian cultures have traditionally seen long, unkempt hair in a woman as a sign of sexual intent or a recent sexual encounter , as usually their hair is

Last Tuesday me, my brother and sister went to KLCC's Petrosains. I've been wanting to go there since forever and since it's my brother's holiday and I cannot stand him facing the PS2/computer everyday playing F1/Club Penguin/Plant vs. Zombie/Facebook games, I decided to bring him there. Petrosains' facilities are way better than The National Science Centre's and much more interesting. There are so many things I would love to try but sadly, because it's the school holidays now, the place is packed. Doesn't help that school authorities decides to organise school trip to the place during the holidays. 'Add salt on already salted thing' XD KLCC =) Photos taken in Petrosains are too horrible to be posted up. And yesterday I finally made pot pie! We made chicken mushroom pot pie and it was awesome! Simple and yummy... I didn't have enough and my mom wanted to try some so I made more today ;) Made using fresh button mushroom, onion, chicke

After a great night sleep at my mom's hometown, it's time to head back home again. But before heading directly back to Selangor, we made a detour and went to Kuala Sepetang to try out a curry mee which my mom said was highly recommended by a friend. But when we arrived there at 12pm, it was still closed so we ate laksa from a random shop which is kinda nice too. Then we walked around  and I found out... Kuala Sepetang is Port Weld! I don't remember exactly what Port Weld is but I remember it's something related to Sejarah. According to my mom it's something to do with 'lombong' since this KTM used to connect to Taiping and the whole Perak state is famous for it's mining activities during British occupation =) Some more details about Kuala Sepatang:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuala_Sepetang We also tried out Malay Prawn Mee but it does not suit our taste buds. It contains too much ketchup and taste kinda like Mee Rebus. After an unsatisfacto
