July

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

swimming.

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.

Famous Amos.

.... 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 =/

Diary of My Brother

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

Berjaya Hills/ Colmar Tropicale

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

Apple crumble.

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
