Shyen left Malaysia at 9.45p.m.

Wai Wah planned a farewell for him, just like the one 2 years back. I can't make myself there last time, because I'm not available, I was in the camp, the so called national service XD

Confirmation of farewell party =p
"Dear invited guests, thank you for replying to my invitation and being sincere to join this farewell party, im sure that Liang-shyen ll be very pleased to have true friends like you. We ll be meeting in front of Leisure Mall MacDonald at 11am, see you tomorrow."
-28/12/08 16:40 from WWW, the oh-so-serious organiser-

"Hey, it s about the farewell meal today. Im sorry to tell you that there re not many friends coming later, i guess below 10 persons. For girls, there ll be around 3 only. The party is still on, but it s up to you whether you still want to come. Please reply me if you change your mind."
-29/12/08 09:14 from WWW again-

Hmm, I'm wondering why is WWW sending me the second message. It wasn't the first time for me being the only girl in outings, get used to it. So, don't worry too much. That day I have asked you about other girls joining because I knew that you'll be inviting somebody else that I don't really feel like seeing. Even if XXX going, I'll still go. I have missed out once, and not gonna miss it for the second time. WWW,sorry for not replying to your messages. My sim card expired, haven't reload yet.

We took our lunch at Esquire Kitchen, I thought 8 dishes would be really alot. It came out to be so little, like not enough only, wasn't sure if they're full. Although the dishes are not that delicious, the main thing is that we get to sit down together and eat, and at the same time, we can still chat ^^

After our lunch, don't know why KK brought Shyen to the computer shop and buy the 'Batang Ingatan' , lol, it's the memory stick if you don't get it. Shyen don't have enough MYR and went to the money changer. LOL, mind those who are working as money changer, no matter part time or full time, look at the money carefully or you'll be broke.

Our next stop was 'fireworks', a very lame arcade with mostly old machines. We played quite a few games inside, I couldn't name most of them but the basketball. We played the normal machine a few times and another one, the children type, we can just put the balls directly into the net >.< style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">they tried to cheat. NOT ME! I'M A GOOD GIRL!! =p

Oh yeah, we played the photo hunt. The pictures are all so weird, they use sexy girls, showing off their breasts and ask you to locate the differences. haha, the guys got distracted, especially when the difference is the size of the breasts. LOL. After wasting 3 coins just to complete 20 levels, we decided to move on to another machine. It's a better machine in which they don't use sexy girls anymore, so we played 15 levels with only one coin. >.<

We got 80 coupons only, we used them and changed 4 pencils for Shyen to bring back to Australia. They don't give the normal ugly pencils but those with patterns. Shyen chosen the ladybird and zebra patterns.

Erm, we didn't take any pictures. I'm still wondering why aren't they all doing so!! And I myself forgotten to take any with them. =( So sad. Luckily I took one with Shyen the other day.

Me and Shyen.

Shyen, me, Bi, Lai Mun, Mee Ting, Siaw Wei and May Chen

New family for my ducky series =p

My family don't celebrate christmas and we don't have the culture of buying gifts/ exchanging gifts with each other. In addition, I'm not a Christian la, so I seldom do gift exchange with my friends, only if there is any christmas party/gathering.

I wasn't expecting for any present this year, anyway, lovely Carmen bought me one. Maybe when she do her christmas shopping time, saw this duck and so she decided to buy one? haha, whatever reason it is, I love it and you knew I'll , although the colour of the duck is abit orange..



p/s: I thought it was something 'else' carmen, but then after I called you around afternoon time. From what you have said, " ni mo dao liao ma? " I knew it is a duck, without touching the gift=p So lovely..Haha..

赤裸裸的我

一个人的夜晚， 显得额外的清静。
突然让我想起很多小时候的事情。
从小没有在 喧哗的街上逛逛的机会，
只因为，我会觉得呼吸困难
就算有，我也百般不愿意。

中学的我，就算朋友约在晚上出门，
我都会拒绝，
因为，我有隐形的门禁，
虽然他没说出口，可是行动上，
他是不允许我太晚出去。

今天的我，额外想到starhill逛逛，
穿梭在人群中，感觉因该很好吧
偶尔的缺氧，还不至于让我死掉，
我够高了。
至少，不是以前的矮冬瓜。

可惜，没有对象。
想见的朋友各忙各的，
若和枯燥乏味的朋友去，倒不如不去！
我不想去church,
我不认识人，只有你，让我没有归宿感，不好意思。

现在，若来杯酒，或一瓶vodka
感觉因该很棒吧
所谓的借酒消愁就是这样的意思吧！
我就是那么的愁，
佳节特别能看出大家的心，
而我的心则显得更寂寞了。

既然是佳节，
祝大家 ：
耶诞节快乐 Merry X'mas
天下有情人，终成眷属 ！
好吗？

Glutinous Rice Ballssssss

21 December 2008
Winter Solstice - 冬至

It's a day for us to eat glutinous rice ballsssssssssss汤圆.. Lolx. There are so many different versions of stories behind, and I don't know which one is the exact reason that people are eating glutinous rice balls today. To me, it's just one of the many cultures of chinese, and I just follow, as long as I get to eat ..Haha, I just love to eat.

I'm 19 and I'm supposed to eat 19 only, hmm, I have eaten far more than that. In my family, 3 of them don't take glutinous rice balls, and another 3 love to eat =)

"I can't swallow any, so sticky" my mum.
"Don't want la" my dad.
"I don't eat one la" my second sister.

I wonder why?? =p So delicious... Yum Yum.

We rolled all these one day before, we leave it overnight then only my mum will cook in the morning, in a syrup with ginger and sugar. Don't know why overnight, maybe it will be nicer? A secret recipe past to us by my grandma.

Last time I'm the one who will make funny funny rice balls. Anyway, all these with different colours is not rolled by me. NOT ME! It's my second sister..hahahaa, childish.

Cover them nicely with a piece of cloth =) *doubts* Prevent cracking on the surface?

Look at the cooked glutinous rice ballsss, so lovely. This is my first bowl of the day.

For this year, we didn't celebrate with fish, prawns, meat, and all. We had a steamboat, so nice, as long as we get to gather and sit down together.

Why ?

"Eh, meng aun here. Do u all want to go sing k n bowling in times square on the 15 of dec ? Pls contact me or hoong jun if u r interested Tq"
-05/12/2008 20:29 from Meng Aun-

At that time, I'm really interested to join, wanna see their faces =p

"Hey.. Want to go genting next monday anot? One day trip. Hav to pay 42 plus plus for theme park, transport.. and cake..they plan to celebrate ty,lihong and laimun's bday there.. :-) reply to me asap la.. ^^ "
-09/12/08 14:29 from Mun yee-

-09/12/08 14:35 from Meng Aun-

A difference of 6 minutes, and at that time, I went to my uncle's shop and help out. I'm pretty busy fixing something, I just can't decide which one to go.

Actually for secondary gathering, as for the girls, I get to see them quite often, but for the guys, quite hard and rare for them to held a gathering. I really don't feel like missing it.

As for the A-levels friends, think that everyone ( except me) will be going off , maybe overseas, or at least, all at different universities, somemore staying quite far apart. I don't really think that we're gonna have any other outings.

I really can't make a choice, why make it on the same day??!! HUH?!! Anyway, I received Meng Aun's invitation first, I should go to the one bah..But, everyone staying nearby connaught, can meet up easily. College friends all stay quite far apart ler. Quite hard to get a day where everyone will be free.. These sentences are circulating in my mind, and I just CAN'T DECIDE

I went on and ask my mum, which one should I attend? Anyway, my sister said its raining season, better not go genting. Few weeks back I went genting with my grandma for dinner, the car in front of my dad's car skidded, the driver didn't speed, mainly because of the slippery road as it's raining that time, and some oil spill on the road. Hmm, I'm a good girl, so I have chosen a secondary gathering. Haihz, I wanna go theme park =p

Hmm, now it's already 15 of December 2008. I have chosen a secondary gathering, and I hope that I will be enjoying the outing. =) Around 17 people will be joining, so little.For those who have classes, I can understand if they can't join. But not those who don't wanna go just because of they don't wanna go or " she, she, or she don't wanna go." I really don't understand why. Haihz. =(

People like to say keep in contact on the graduation ceremony, do we? Haha..

Anyway, looking forward for tomorrow's. Suppose to be alright =) Really wanna see their faces =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY <3

2nd of December..
Dad's birthday


I'm making myself busy on the 1st, just because I wanna bake a cake for him =p Hmm, my sister suggested decoration of ice-cream on top of the cake, so I baked a chocolate cake. Anyway, the ice-cream deco was a failure, it melted on my very first try, I used King's vanile ice-cream. On my second attempt, I asked my eldest sister go to Econsave to get another type of ice-cream, which is harder, and not that milky and way more expensive. Anyway, the results wasn't good as well. Make it under room temperature is the main cause, I think. What I had planned is that we make it as a surprise to my dad at 12.00, however, my dad came over when I'm scoping the ice-cream on it around 10 something, -.- and my family members are too tired and all slept before 12 !!! sigh.. It was no longer a surprise, and the FAILED cake was still accepted by my lovely daddy, not at 12.00am but around 10.00pm. Haha, everyone grabbed the ice-cream, but the cake was hard like rock =p Anyway, everyone had a great laugh there, so, I felt kinda happy. I give myself at least a PASS for the cake then.



On the 2nd, it was a busy day. Once wake up, my mum cooked mee shuah, for dad, herself, me and my "on MC" sister. After that, I washed the dishes. Then, I decided to make black sesame glutinous rice for my dad. I went online and searched through the recipes. I went out and buy the ingredients, and started doing. I prepared my own black sesame paste, and went in a mess with the dough. OMGOSH, it takes like few hours for that, and it wasn't successful again, lolx, I prefer the home-made 'tong yun', without black sesame. For black sesame tong yun, I would rather go buy the factory-made... =p

Homemade black sesame paste

The dough is really sticky =p

My first tong yun of the day, anyway, partially cooked only, I threw it away =p

After making the tong yun, I have to wash off lotsa things. Then, started helping my mum to prepare dinner. It's like new year eve, hardly can see many types of meat on the table, got prawn, fish, and pork, which is really rare to find in my house. Haha, a BIG DAY for my daddy.
Everything are prepared around 7.00. Before I went on to bath, I swept and mopped the kitchen. We took our lovely dinner at around 8 something, because we waited for my sister to come back from work.
