Melaka Self Exploration Trip - Day 1

It's that week of each and every year again, the last week of 2012.

My "ah pek" buddy and housemate Li Herng and his girlfriend Dorothy came to Melaka for a warm visit! :D

Finally they came. Haha. They are supposed to come last month (during Deepavali holiday break) but Dorothy was busy with her family. I was surprised when Li Herng told me last week that they are coming! Hehe i thought they couldn't make it thought. :P

They took a midnight bus and reached Melaka around 6am, which was super early! Cos usually i will reach Melaka Sentral (Melaka bus station) at around 7am if i take a midnight bus from Butterworth to Melaka. After putting their luggage at my house, we started our journey exploring Melaka!!!



THEME FOR THIS TIME'S MELAKA TRIP : FOOD HUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Haha obviously it was Li Herng's request! >w<




1st Melaka Food : Chung Wah Chicken Rice Balls 

Best chicken rice balls ever in Melaka. EVER.

Never regret eating these chicken rice balls as they melt in our mouth, SERIOUSLY.

Chicken rice balls are one of the main food attraction in Melaka, BUT i want to clarify one certain thing here.

For your info, so far only Chung Wah Chicken Rice Balls are the most delicious as they are considered the oldest and original shop in Melaka selling Hainan chicken rice balls.

Why should i talk about this?

Most of my friends from the other states told me that Melaka's chicken rice balls are not nice at all which shocked me the most. They also said that it's not a big deal at all. 

Seriously???

I found out later that they went to the other shops in Melaka which are selling chicken rice balls without knowing that those shops are not the original shops. The other shops' chicken rice balls are not nice at all. Believe me, i even gave it a try and ate them before. Eat once, 1st time and the last time i am gonna eat there again. Many tourists are not aware about this and thought these are the original chicken rice balls. At the end they are not fond about the legendary chicken rice balls here. 

It's not that i am being bias or what, i am just telling the truth. Just pick any locals of Melaka, any one of them and ask which chicken rice balls shop they will recommend to you. Definitely they will say Chung Wah Chicken Rice Balls shop at the end of Jonker Street. I am telling this so that next time when you visit Melaka, you can be aware of this. :)

Haha see how good am i? LOL just kidding la... :P

So we reach the shop at 9am, thank God not there was not much people. If we reach there around 11am, God bless us cos we have to wait in a super long queue. > . <

Addictive food as i can say. Eat those chicken rice balls and you will not stop ordering for more.

Haha even myself can eat lots of them. LOTS OF THEM and i don't mind! Fat like pig already. :P

Everything in Melaka is about timing, so if you want to eat Chung Wah's Hainan chicken rice balls, please do go there early ya! Best time is around 9am to 10am. It's best not to visit the shop after 11am, or else you have to wait in a super long queue. 

Well, worth eating them!!! :)





2nd Melaka Food : Nyonya Asam Laksa and Cendol at Jonker 88

As usual, the nyonya asam laksa here is the bomb. But but, the amount ingredients had become lesser! So sad so sad!

Li Herng commented about the cendol too. Too much ice and the cendol ingredients are lesser compared to few years back.

Hope they increase the quality of the food like last time. > <

Haha by the way we are the 1st customers there! Early bird gets to eat the worm. :)





3rd Melaka Food : Mille Crepe at Nadeje

This is the best cake ever here. My all time favorite! <3

Unfortunately i did not know that they have moved to Mahkota Parade. LOL i didn't visit the cafe since i went there the last time with Ken. The weird part is the cafe is not connected through indoor like other shops in Mahkota Parade. We had a hard time locating the new shop. = =
It is located beside KFC but we have to go there through the outdoor pathway.

On the good side, the new shop is awesome and beautiful! Unlike the old branch in Dataran Pahlawan, more seats are available now and the design of the coffee tables and chairs are cool.

Nadeje has many types of flavor of mille crepe, but i still like the original flavor the best. In my opinion, the mille crepe with flavors mask its original flavor even though they are delicious too. Wanna try the tasty mille crepe? Try the original flavor 1st before trying others. :)

The mille crepe is pricey but it's worth it. Just like the chicken rice balls, they melt in your mouth. Haha the only difference is eating too much mille crepe will make you feel a bit yucky cos it contains a lot of cream in between the layers of crepe.

I would recommend tiramisu flavor and double chocolate flavor. I think both of these flavor are good besides the original flavor. :)

We ate the mille crepe and our mood became good! Feel like eating another few pieces of the mille crepe but it is very fattening la! So we decided not to order another slice of it. > . <





4th Melaka Food : Cheese Steamboat at Tong Sheng Restaurant

My dad, mum and Yong Ming joined us for dinner too! :D

Holy mama great food for dinner. I've been to this restaurant 3 times in one week, cos my family and i love their food! LOVE TILL THE MAX.

Their signature cheese steamboat is good, as well as their Chinese cuisine. Very good, no lies.
You can see the good business there as the restaurant are always packed with big number of hungry customers, some of them waiting outside to be seated. Thank goodness my mum and the lady boss are friends, so we can get seats there by booking seats via phone calls hours before the dinner.

If you want to eat this at restaurant, you can call them at 017-6317811 to book seats.
Or go to the restaurant before 7pm to avoid massive queue. :)

This restaurant is located at Melaka Raya and many tourists are unaware of the existence of this special cheese steamboat in Melaka.

Besides that, their famous Chinese cuisine are chicken floss tofu, Sabah vegetables, marmite pork ribs, cheese mee hoon with big prawns, butter prawns and salad chicken.

We ordered some of the dishes mentioned above and cheese steamboat. The cheese steamboat is the best, especially the cheese soup! <3 Not too cheesy, not too sweet, the taste is just nice. And of course, super addictive too!!! I also don't know how many bowls of cheese i had drink that night. We even refill the cheese soup! Hohoho...

We always insert the mee hoon last into the cheese steamboat as the mee hoon will absorb the cheese soup. Yum yum yum. Must try ya my friends! :)



These were the Melaka food we ate for day 1. After dinner I brought my mum, Li Herng and Dorothy to visit the Portuguese Settlement which are decorated beautifully for Christmas. I really missed Christmas! Beautiful lighting, Christmas trees and decorations, and of course, peaceful Christmas songs. > . < Hope i can celebrate next year's Christmas with my Prince Charming. Haha... :P

We also went to Over Time with my dad again to have a drink and listened to the singers' performances. The male singer can sing and his voice amazed us! :D Not bad not bad. Hope can listen to him sing again next time. By the way, since Starker beer is not available in Over Time anymore, we drank Strongbow and Heineken. I can tell you, I SUPER LOVE STRONGBOW. I think Strongbow are suitable for girls' taste bud as they are made out of fermented apple juice with glucose. In order words Strongbow is a blend of bitter-sweet cider and culinary apples, with 50 different varieties of apple uses, according to Wikipedia. LOL. :P If you have never try it before, go and have a try! No harm trying right?

We went back to my home and rest for the night. It was an exciting and tiring day for us. :)

Haha i will update what we ate during the day 2 trip in Melaka, please stay tuned if you wanna know more about Melaka food ya! Hehe... :)

On addition, i uploaded a few interesting food pictures on Instagram. If you all are interested, feel free to have a look at these delicious pictures or you can follow me on Instagram for more nice pictures. :)

I.Fairy Hanabi Green Circle Lens Review

Circle lens collection is my craziest hobby ever. :)

Before posting up this review, i already used 30+ pairs of circle lenses in the past 3 years. Yeah i'm a circle lens addict. Hoho.

But i didn't found the suitable lens to wear for a long period of time, until i bought I.Fairy lens and Be <3 Luxury Babe lens. These 2 brands are the best so far, no discomfort and their designs are awesome.

Today i am posting up my review for I.Fairy Hanabi Green Circle Lens! *finally finally finally!!!* :D

I found I.Fairy through Facebook pages and bought my 1st pair of I.Fairy lens which is the Hanabi Blue design. Unfortunately i didn't take photos when wearing those circle lens. >.<
And that was 2 years ago.

So i bought one pair of I.Fairy Hanabi Green Circle Lens again last 2 months. I'm very fond of this design as the lens give the dolly look with their designs. :)

This is the original photo where the model is wearing I.Fairy Hanabi Green Circle Lens.

This is the I.Fairy lens packaging. Cute and unique forever. <3
For your info, they have anti-fake stickers on their bottles now to identify original I.Fairy lens. Useful indeed! Good job I.Fairy! :D

The lens look marvelous. The diameter is very big though.

Without lens. (My iris is small even though my eyes are big, that's why i always prefer lens with enlargement effect. :P)

With lens, indoor lighting.

With lighting. (Love the green halo effect!)

Color and design : 

✪ The color is obvious but yet very natural. Love it to the max.

✪ The color blends well with my brown eyes.

✪ The halo effect is obvious as the lens' diameter is 16.2mm. <3

✪ The enlargement effect is good.

Comfort :

✪ Not bad not bad! :D I wear these lenses for more than 8 hours and it doesn't dry up my eyes. 

✪ It does not stick to my eyes tightly.

✪ The design of the lens is good enough as the design does not block my vision when i look at different angles.

In my opinion :
✪ A good lens to try especially for those who super like dolly eyes. 

✪ The green color is very very very nice! It makes my eyes very anime-like which i super like them! :D
✪ May not be suitable for new lens wearer as the lens are quite hard to be inserted onto the eyes at first. The diameter is big and the lens are quite soft.

✪ I must put on make up after wearing these lens. Wearing these lens without make up makes me look like Puss-in-the-boots, which is very weird. =.=

My overall rating : 8 / 10

Not a bad design to wear especially for outing. Very comfortable and the lens really make your eyes cute with simple eyeliner application, and i quite love it! <3

More pictures to share with you. :)

 With flash.

Without flash.

 Don't mind my Crayon Shin Chan eyebrows. :P

Haha swollen lips on a hot day. =3=

Taken during a trip to KL.

I.Fairy lens have many other designs, you can check them out at their official webpage at http://ifairycon.com/index.html. :)

Hope my circle lens review is useful to you all. :)
Gonna post up my other favorite circle lens review soon, so stay tuned ya!

Cheers! :)))

Kiasu? HNGGGGG!!!

Busy busy busy.

I've been busy for the past 3 months and for God's sake time passes so fast! I don't even have time to go exercise which i planned to. I was so rajin last time that i went swimming after classes everyday. Yeah EVERYDAY.

Now i am fat as a panda bear who only knows how to hibernate and eat. Of course with my signature dark eye circles.

ARGH all because of the tiring classes and clinical postings i have to attend every single day! >.<

The main thing i wanna blog today is KIASU-ness of people nowadays. For those who don't understand what kiasu is, Kiasu (怕输) means scared of losing in Hokkien. Hey don't laugh, some people really don't know what the hell kiasu means even though they are Malaysians. (HAHA Ken don't know about this and my reaction was OH MY GOD FOR GOD'S SAKE HOW CAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT KIASU MEANS??? Ok i forgive him cos he's a Cantonese and apparently he seldom has Hokkien friends.)

I'm pretty sure among of our friends there are kiasu people. Ok i think there's a little element of kiasu-ness in everybody, i admit i'm kiasu too. Hoho. But what i'm trying to say here is the super duper holy mama kiasu people that will fight to their death in order to win something miserable, well in other words to win something that is insignificant. As long they don't lose to people. OK as long as they are not number 2 in the list.

HELLO, we are all humans you know? Equality? Win or lose doesn't matter? Never heard of these before in your entire life? Haha of course i am referring to those super kiasu people.

I give you an example. I'm still a student and we are doing individual projects to fulfill our quota. Everyone has to finish 25 quotas before the semester ends.

Haha i admit i'm among the laziest group of people in the class, but i will surely finish up my quota before the last date of submission. So we have a total of 8 weeks in two semesters to finish the quota. That, seems a looooooooooooooooooong time for me. For sure everyone will finish up their quota before the submission date, fast or slow.

There are certain people that tend to finish faster because they just like to do so, i'm used to it. At first i can not stand the way of them finishing all the things in one shot, but then i realize later, it's their freedom to finish it fast. Cos they just like to do so, just as simple as that. We can't point a gun to their heads and say "OI stop finishing the quota so fast, or else i will shoot your bloody brain out!!!" , am i right? It's their right to do what ever they want, as long as they don't irritate other people. So i won't give a damn now for what ever things they do.

But the thing i can not stand the most is, the super kiasu people that always COMPARING themselves with others. Sorry it's comparing OTHERS with themselves. They will check everybody's quota like an inspector, investigate how your work progresses and how the hell you finish your every single quota. Even my parents didn't investigate my daily life as frequently as these mini investigators. VERY ANNOYING OK???

As for my case, i'm a lazy person. Sometimes haha. I always lacking in finishing my quota. But my concept is everyone will finish the quota at the very end, no matter fast or slow. So i emphasize again, no matter what is your speed, everyone is gonna finish every quota at the end. So why the rush? Yes i admit i will be a little bit panicky when my work is too lacking behind, but Karma always does her job, i finished my quota in a short period and i am able to cope up with the rest of my classmates.

This is when the annoying part starts to happen. Few of my classmates, started to ask me how i finished my quota since i am a zero at the beginning. OMG do i need to explain to these fellows that i am doing the same thing as them to finish our quota? That is a freaking stupid question i ever heard. Everyone is doing the same whole thing, is whether you are doing it fast or slow. I notice I've been repeating the previous sentence. =.=

They didn't ask once, they ask so many times as if i'm doing magic to my quota and *KABOOM* my quota finished by itself! Woohoo! I'm a great magician in class and i know it.

Come on la, so coincidentally i got a lot of samples to finish the work, that's why i managed to finish a number of quota in a short time. I got lucky. Just that simple. And after explaining to them, * haiz i had to explained so they can stop asking me the same whole thing over and over again*, they give me the "OMG i gotta finish my quota as soon as possible before i lack behind like you" look. What the f*ck. Hello even though i am lazy but i am not stupid you know. Oh well i just ignore them at the end.  :P

Oh that's not the end of the story. They will work harder, or even snatch other people's sample just to be at the peak. Holy mama they are the ultimate kiasu people i have ever met. You know what? When they are at the peak, they will find you and boast it in front of you.

"Ohhhhhhh, so what?"

"Haha no la, just wanna let you know," they replied.

Wa at this moment i feel like Sun Goku in Dragon Ball. Flames all over my body, flames. Oh God why am i surrounded by childish people? HELLO we are already grown ups ok?? Maybe i forget that age is not the real factor here. Yeah i have met many kiasu people, but not as 欠打 as these people. For once I also felt like finishing up my quota to keep their bloody boastful mouth shut but i didn't. There's no point in doing so as i only get myself stressed up until the end, and what's the difference between me and them if i do the same way as they already did? I choose to ignore them completely and i believe in Karma. :) If you know what i mean.

The moral of the story is, don't compare yourself with others. LOL i sounded so wise here. Haha joking la joking la. You can be kiasu, but don't overdo it until you irritate your friends by boasting around. You will lose your friend if you do so. True story. And to those who encounter the same thing as i am now, my advice is just ignore them and do your daily job as you planned to. Just fulfill your daily responsibilities and be happy. It's not worth to stress yourself up by competing with these childish people.  :)

Okay time to go to bed.

Good night and sweet dreams everyone! :3

Pedal towards Live Heritage

Hello awesome peeps! 

Sorry for the one month delay cos of the stupid and slow internet connection here at Butterworth.

The whole condo was having this problem almost for the last whole month, especially at night. 

Of course for a frequent online user like me sure can not stand the stupiak connection!!!!!!! =.=

Turned off to blog last few weeks ago.

But thank God Ah Boy (my batch mate) found an charity event for us to kill our time! :D
It is an cycling event at Penang Island in conjunction with 4th Anniversary George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site celebration. 

*LOL i thought George Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since a decade ago, buay paiseh me*

The event's theme is "Pedal towards Live Heritage".  :)

AHAAAAAAAAA i love cycling, even though i had a hard time cycling at Pondicherry in India last 3 years ago. LOL
Very unstable cycling and i kept falling down. :P

But still i love it! I immediately agreed to it when Hooi Thang invited me. 

Ah Boy helped us to make the payment, booked the bicycles and cycling helmet for us.

We gathered last Friday at Padang Kota Lama at 7.30pm for briefing and the starting point for the cycling .

[We took our bicycles and helmets, and cycled to Padang Kota Lama. p/s: look at the boss who is talking over the phone! XD]

I can tell you, cycling at Penang roads are AWESOME.

I never cycle around the town especially in town with lots of vehicles roaming around. Yeah it was kinda dangerous but the feeling is awesome. (Pondicherry in India has less cars on the road, so cycling at that area is more or less safer than Penang)

Haha sorry for being so sua gu (like coming out from a kampung) cos i always drive my car around! :P

At Padang Kota Lama, HOLY MAMA there are around 400 plus of people there! Mostly with their own bicycles. OMG I SO ENVY THEM! ><

The event is so cool cos everyone looked so sporty and energetic that day!

While waiting, photo taking session starts! :D

 [From left to right : Si Jie, Hooi Thang, Ah Pek Li Herng, me, Isaac, Jet, Rachel, Joanna and Ah Boy]

 [Hooi Thang and me. Haha love this picture cos i looked slimmer here! <3]

 [Rachel and Jet]

And here is my personal pictures with each one of them! :3

Haha very happy during the cycling cos my make up looked nice that day. LOL

Just kidding la, i like happening places so joining this cycling event with a bunch of friends is very exciting and enjoying too! 

Too bad Yik Ming can't cycle, i must teach her how to cycle already so she can join this type of event with us next time! :)

[This is my cycling helmet with fiery flame "HOT WHEELS" design! Love it to the max!]

[Me with messy hair >w<]

So we started to cycle at around 8pm.

Here is the route :

START → Padang Kota Lama → Jalan Tun Syed Barakbah → Lebuh Pantai → Lebuh Victoria → Gat Lebuh Melayu → Lebuh Pantai → Lebuh Gereja → Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling → Lebuh Farquhar → Lebuh Leith → Lebuh Muntri → Lorong Love → Lebuh Chulia → Lebuh Carnavon → Lebuh Buckingham → Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling → Lebuh Farquhar → Lebuh Light → Padang Kota Lama END

It looked freaking far right?

But we took only half an hour to finish the route. LOL

At the beginning it was quite tough for me to cycle as there are too many people in front of us! 

Cycling at a very slow speed is very hard and i kept falling down (almost)!

Even the uncle behind me told me "Don't panic, cycle slowly". OMG how to not panic when your bicycle is not stable at all??? =.=

But after awhile my cycling was ok cos not many people in front of us, and thank God Isaac was always beside me while cycling. LOL thanks a lot Isaac for being so nice! *Although my cycling is so sucky*

The night scenery at George Town was beautiful. Enjoying the night view while cycling is one of best experience ever. The weather was nice, the wind was cooling and the traffic was ok. Perfect night for cycling.

Too bad can't take pictures! The night view was very captivating! Great for pictures but oh well... >.<

On the other hand, we found many small stalls or food shops with yummy food while cycling! That is the best part during cycling! Haha really no lies! Almost all the road that i mentioned above have at least one or two shops with a lot of people lining out side for dinner! OMG we also can smell those food ok? 

There are many different cuisines to choose from and the food looks yummy! LOL all we think about is food. XDDD

Must really go and try out all these food stalls or shop next time! :)))

So at the end we reached Padang Kota Lama after half an hour. The cycling experience was cool. I love it! :)

Haha the organizers also held a lucky draw event after that.

Li Herng told us he was feeling luckay that day. Haha so Hooi Thang and i kept hoping him getting the lucky draw prizes that he doesn't want! :P

Initially his number was announced and we thought he got movie tickets that he doesn't want!
OMG unexpectedly he got a high tea coupon at Strawberry Hill worth RM160!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cannot tahan you lor AH PEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TT^TT

Hooi Thang and me got a RM50 voucher at a boutique shop in Penang island. But we wanted the microwave oven! T^T

Nevermind la, at least our numbers are announced during the lucky draw. :)

We went to eat supper after that and went home around 11.30pm.

It was a irreplaceable experience for me. LOL i even fell down ok! TwT

If there is any charity event like this, for sure i will join again! Way to go Penang! :)))

Getting a cool metallic pink bicycle is on my things-to-do list right now. HOHOHO.  :)

More updates coming soon and stay tuned! :D

Have a great day ahead!

*Special thanks to Rachel for the great pictures! Love ya! <3 *

A gooooooooooooooooood day to start with!

Good morning peeps! :3

It's a great morning of June and i woke up super early today, haha because i slept at 6pm yesterday..LOL

No choice cos i attended the Moral Studies' class which took the whole morning and noon and i was super duper tired..Slept like a big fat pig yesterday...

Just an update, the guy i mentioned earlier in my latest blog post is Ken..He was so busy with his work that he always forget about me... *BIG TIGHT SLAP FOR YOU MR KEN!!!!!!!!!*

So i decided since he was so so so so so busy with his work, why not i focus more on my daily work log? And of course, i planned to improve myself more, no more MISS SLEEPING-BEAUTY-WITH-A-LAZY-ASS.

Ok back to my main point here, i already put priorities on my studies and my personal daily log..Got many things to rush up and to be done since i have been lazed around for the past 2 months..I feel so shameful of myself..But i admit my mistakes, didn't i? :) Blogging is gonna be in my things-to-do list too...

Ok gotta prepare for class now. May you all have a nice day too! :D

HOLY MAMA i'm back!

Good afternoon babies! Long time no see. :P Got miss me? =w=

The reason i gone M.I.A for so long is because so many things happened in between March and May, both good and bad things.

Good things:

- I PASS ALL MY 4TH YEAR SUBJECTS!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHH!!!
  I'm in my Final Year now in Dentistry! :DDD


- I met a nice guy online and we gone dating! Even though he is very very straight forward and sarcastic, he's a gentleman. :) And you know la, when girls dating, some of them tend to put everything aside initially including blogging. I'm so disloyal. =.=


- I went to Langkawi with my fellow batch mates! OMG i can tell you Langkawi is one of the nicest place in Malaysia where liquor are dirt cheap! Yeah i admit i'm a kaki botol and i drink a lot. Haha damn drunker.


- My hospital posting at Perlis was fun! We went to Perlis at the last week of our holidays. Perlis is a nice and peaceful place, and their seafood is delicious! :)



Bad things:

- I overspent during these 3 months and i almost broke! This is sooooooooooooooooo bad cos there are sales everywhere! These are not ordinary sales, these are 70% to 90% sales. My purse is like an onion, the more i open the more i feel sad about it, cos NO MONEY ar!   TT^TT


- My lecturer nearly screwed up my case. The experience was horrendous and i dare not ask her for help AGAIN. =.=


- I accidentally hit a car while reversing yesterday. OMG i so damn careless!!!!!!!!! And that car turns out to be my senior's car. There are no major damages, only scratches on her car. But she wants me to do full repair on that miserable car part where the scratch is! THIS IS VERY RIDICULOUS. So i gotta wait until next Monday to drive her car and get it repair, i really hope the mechanic won't charge me a lot!   TT^TT




I kept on thinking positive that things happen for a reason. Hope everything goes well for me starting from June. :)

See u later on my next blog update! :)))

Unbearable aunties! ==

WASEH I CANNOT TAHAN AUNTIES LOR!!!

Just came back from China yesterday, which is supposed to be a relaxing trip for me but the aunties that joined the trip ruined my days in China. And that really pissed me A LOT.

It's not that i disrespect aunties or what so ever, but their selfishness really pisses people off including my mum. My mum is around their age too but hello, my mum is more rationale than them ok.

I'm not particular about them being picky or traditional, what really pisses me off is they don't even have the basic moral values with them. Hello aunties, you are older in age and people expect you to be wiser or mature in thinking, but not having the basic good attitudes really made me upset and i don't know how to respect you as elders.

I'm sure some of you out there understands what i am talking about, so just wanna cut short the story and tell what these aunties did. =.=

The 5 things i super duper dislike these aunties :

1. These aunties are rude. 


Yeah rude until an extent you feel like ask them to watch out their attitude. When i was in the bus getting ready to get down, got one auntie rush down from the bus and pushed me aside. And she used her elbow to push me!!! Imagine the pain on my back, OMG it's like someone taking an umbrella and poke your back, very hard. Super painful ok. The worst part is she did not say "excuse me" before she rush down nor apologize to me after pushing me aside with her sharp elbow. I seriously thought she was rushing to the toilet (you know la old people can't tahan thier bladder de ma), so i forgive her. But things became worst, she repeated her elbow-pushing for the next 5 days.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER? I don't understand why she rushes down the bus every time we reach a new destination?? Can't she just say excuse me or what??? Maybe she don't like me to be in front of her? (I'm sitting at the 2nd row and she sat at the middle row in the bus) I also didn't find any toilet near the bus everytime. WTF. So at the end, my back was severely injured by several blows from her sharp elbow. =.=

Another thing is i super dislike is when the tour guide is talking in front of the bus introducing historical places, these bunch of aunties keep yak yak yak non stop. Talking damn loud somemore, their voice is so loud until the tour guide had to talk louder with the mic. I keep SHHHHH SHHHHHHH SHHHHHHHHHH like shit to shut bloody mouth up and less than 1 minute they talked non stop again. Walao aunties don't you have any basic manners? DON'T TALK WHEN PEOPLE IS EXPLAINING THINGS TO YOU!!!
Haiz and yet, they still talk like mad even though the other aunties asked them to shut up. Damn bloody thick face.

I don't know how they teach their children about basic manners. =.=

2. They are greedy.

During each and every meal of the day, these aunties are like hungry people just came back from a war zone, once all the dishes are served, they snatch all the food like nobody's business. Aunties ar, you never eat Chinese food before meh? Why snatch food and pile food up on ur plate like a mountain? Greedy people. Even youngsters like us eat with manners ok. Shame on you lor. I can tell you these aunties can finish up these dishes in 5 minutes. They can enter Ripley's Believe It or Not show already.
Seriously i can't stand their greediness. Even there are food on the their own plates, they still take extra food, as if the world is coming to an end. BEH TAHAN LOR!!!!!!!!!!!


3. They are copycats.

Ok this is the one that i cannot stand the most. COPYCATS.
Since this trip was mostly on shopping, some of these rude aunties kept clinging on us. What ever i bought or what ever items i chose, they will buy the same items. Yeah SAME ITEMS SAME COLOR. Think about it, we stay in the same state and we are of different age groups, of course nobody likes to buy the same items as other people right? So some of the items i give up on buying them, cos i don't want to wear the same clothes as them in the same area!!!

Got one auntie thinks she's brilliant, i bought a Hello Kitty glasses and i wore it on the next day. Later on i found out this auntie bought the same Hello Kitty glasses and the same color as mine! I was super angry ok! And the glasses does not suit her at all!!! TT^TT At least if you want to buy a Hello Kitty glasses, buy other colors la. There are so many colors available and you still choose exactly the same one as mine. So the morale of the story is don't wear what ever you had just bought during shopping or trip, especially in front of these copycat aunties.


4. They are hypocrites.


In front of you they talked so nice but at the back they criticize anything about you. One of my mum's friends told her that the aunties said i'm big sized, fat or too tall. They also said that their daughters are much more lucky cos they have boyfriends. =.=lll

So what? 


I'm born this way so it is non of your business. Please look yourselves in the mirror before criticizing other people. Bloody hypocrites. I'm big sized, fat and tall and yet i can achieve better things. Cannot stand these people, don't they have any other better things to do besides gossip about other people?? If you want to gossip please make sure the news does not spread to other people, it really pisses people off. Please concern about other people's feeling especially my mum. I wonder where their brains go when they criticize about other people. STUPIAK!!!!!!!!


5. They are selfish.

I don't know how to talk about this as words can't express my feelings.
They sit at a place, ordering people to buy things for them. Excuse me are you are not the Empress of China ok? Even buying a drinking water also considered hard for them. I pity those younger aunties cos these aunties ordered them to buy certain things while they stand at one site and chit chatting non stop. In the other way around, the selfish aunties told the others not to ask them to buy anything as they will not lend a hand. Yes they told us in a very stern tone. Childish.

I will never join this group of aunties again for future overseas trip. It is not fun at all travelling with copycats like them. Duh.

My advice : Stay away from this kind of aunties if you don't want to get a heart attack. =.=

The Wedding Diary 《结婚那件事》 *Review*

Marriage.
For girls is a beginning of a "Happy Ever After" story.
For guys, haha, it's where all their life savings spent in just one day.

Yes, their marriage day.

Have you guys out there ever wonder what really happens behind every marriage? Most of the marriage la.
Haha i bet most of the people think that marriage must be a very grand event, where the wedding planner must arrange and plan a fairy tale wedding and both the bridegroom and the bride invite all their relatives and friends (ya i mean ALL of them, which is a big number of people) to attend this big event to acknowledge that they are officially together for the rest of their lives.

Sounds nice huh.

Aiks! You forget one thing that is very important and i'm sure it doesn't cross your mind : MONEY.

I heard many people had argue about this sensitive yet important issue.
"Money is not everything la", "Money can't buy love la", "Money is the root of evil la" , money this money that and blah blah blah.

I can tell you, money is not everything, but without money, you are nothing.

No money, how can you organize a grand wedding dinner at a 5 star hotel, invite hundreds or thousands of close relatives and good friends to attend the wedding dinner, or even making preparations for the wedding (such as wedding photo albums, wedding gowns and tuxedos, wedding assessories, etc.)???

They don't come for free nor drop from the sky for you.

Sorry for saying this but we are living in the reality world where money is super duper important. I admit that money IS important. Not to be superficial, without money, we can't achieve the lifestyles or dreams or grand weddings that we would have always wanted all this while. Those who say money is not important at all, that is bull shitting la. If money is not important, why do you have to wake up early in the morning, work your ass off just to earn some money? Nowadays many young graduates struggle like hell just to get into a company to work, for what? Of course to earn money for a living, am i right? =.=

Haha sorry for making the atmosphere so serious, i just wanna emphasize how important is money to people  in the modern era now. You can say i am money-minded or whatsoever, then tell me, who doesn't like money? In certain situations, money is not important. On the other way around, money plays a big big role in our lives and determines our lifestyles. This scenario can be seen in the movie "The Wedding Diary" or 《结婚那件事》.

The movie talks about how a couple maintain a relationship where the main guy is trying his best to settle all his money issues in managing his wedding day. I used to think that wedding is a simple and sweet ceremony that is super easy to be done *naive and stupid thinking*, after watching this movie, it changed my mind. The story tells us that wedding is not as simple as it is, as it involves many aspects like approval and blessings from parents, money management (where the guy have to pay almost all the expenses) and handling criticisms from friends and family if the guy is unable to manage his wedding according the way it should be. Damn 麻烦 (ma fan = troublesome) right?? Watch the movie also no mood to get married le. (LOL as if i'm getting married =.=)

This movie is worth to watch cos it portrays how Malaysians settle their marriage expenses (most of the Chinese in Malaysia) and as well as to maintain good relationship among the wedding couple, families and friends. Most importantly, the main guy portrays the determination and perseverance in solving many challenges before and after his wedding involving every of the aspects mentioned above. Very good combination concerning different aspects of life. Better than what i've had expected.

AND IT IS SUPER HILARIOUS.  XDDD

The way the main actor portrays his character is super funny and realistic. Ah Niu (阿牛- a very famous Malaysian singer, actor and director) is the main character in this movie. The way he expressed his worries and fear regarding his marriage is good. This is because he comes from a poor family and his wife is from a super duper rich family. This causes gaps in 2 different people from different family backgrounds especially in terms of $$$. The guy has to struggle like shit in order to fulfill his parents-in-law's requirements and demands. So kelian lor him. >.< Haha the part where he's thinking of money when he is having sex with his wife is super hilarious! Very creative and funny story!!! I laugh my ass off throughout the movie! XD
It really reflects the actual scenario of weddings among the Chinese in Malaysia. On the point and funny. Hahahahaha.....

Pushing aside the humor, i can feel the emotions and the reality in the movie. It has a touching sense of movie line too. The parents of the girl in the movie are very protective and love their daughter very very much. This made me think of my parents and it made me cried. Yeah i cried a lot in this movie. T^T
It is very hard to explain in words you know. I truly realize why my parents want to protect me so much. It is because they wanna make sure my future partner can love and protect me more than them so i won't suffer and get hurt in the future. Very very touching loooooooo... TT^TT

I wanna say Daddy Mummy I love you! Thank you for taking care of me and protecting me since i was born..I'm very blessed and lucky to have both of you as my parents! I love you both very very much! <3<3<3

Perhaps i'm a bit too emotional, but the story does make a point there. By the way i don't wanna spoil the suspense la. You have to watch the movie yourselves to know what i am trying to say here. :)

Haha dunwan to express how i feel when i watch the movie le. The moral of the story is no matter how hard is the situation is (even if you are facing big money problems now), problems always can be solved with great determination and just keep on fighting! There's a will there's always a way! :)

In short, don't give up la. Trust yourself and you can do it better. Hohoho... :)))

Yeah one more thing, money is very important! (Haha i add it myself ok)
So people, start saving your money as soon as possible okay?? (for guys : to spent on their wedding day, for girls, to save it for shopping! LOL just kidding lar... :p)

Hope you enjoy the movie and have a good laugh too!

p/s : For cry babies, please don't forget to bring tissues ya... >w<

Legendary Female Singer : Whitney Houston

Yesterday morning i was stunned when i checked my facebook.

My friend posted "R.I.P Whitney Houston..." on their walls...

OH MY GOD.

I thought it was just a joke, but there are numbers of posts about her death.

I can't believe this shocking news as she was only 48 years old, it is still considered young for her to leave this world.
And if she's still alive, maybe she's got another half a century to go before going to heaven. Maybe she can produce more good musics with her strong vocal.
Life is really unpredictable. I'm sure everyone didn't expect that she will leave us so early, just like Michael Jackson.
Come on, they are legends in the music industry! >.<

I was quite sad because her song "I Will Always Love you" and her movie "The Bodyguard" are one of my favorites...And i never have the chance to see her perform live on stage again. :(

I still remember when i was a little girl, my dad loved her vocal and always praised her music talents when she performed on TV. Our family enjoyed a lot when we watched her stage performances on TV.
Even until today, my dad says her voice is still unbeatable, even young talented singers with super strong vocals can not beat her too.
Her voice is special, her vocal is super strong and her musics come with emotions. One of the best vocal female singers besides Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.

I hate this feeling of loosing a talented singer with 6 Grammy Awards like her...I had this feeling too when Michael Jackson passed away more than 2 years ago...Since she is gone now, i bet many people miss her dearly and will remember her as a legend. Her music was irreplaceable.

I hope she rest in peace and may God bless her family, friends and other fans around the world.

"LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF,

IT IS THE GREATEST THING OF ALL."

                                          -WHITNEY HOUSTON-

REST IN PEACE my legendary idol.

We will always love you.

p/s : Life is too short to complain about everything, get hold of yourself, appreciate people and things around you. Be happy and enjoy today like there's no tomorrow. 

Enter the Dragon - 1st Day of Chinese New Year

Wake up and shine people! :D

Happy Chap Goh Mei!!!

Since today is the last day of CNY, i will spent some time to relax (although i should stick my butt to the chair and study the whole day)...

LOL don't worry i will still go and date with my books later... :)

Before i go and lock myself up in the room, i am going to blog 1st about the 1st day of CNY!

WOOHOOOOOO!

*Excuses to go online and facebook*

*ahem*

So i woke up a bit late on the 1st day of CNY, but manage to eat vegetarian lunch with my family and dressed myself up!

This year i gonna try something different.

Japanese style.

LOL

Not exactly Gyaru style but simple Japanese style.

You know la, elders in the village can not accept extreme make up or extreme attire...

Because of that i tried to make my attire as simple as possible.

I permed and dyed my hair.

Bought a few fashion clothes and short jeans.

Make up with false eyelashes.

And here it is! :3

I like this new style very very much!

Not a bad change!

Even my Samsung S2 has a new cover for CNY! :D

Love the seal! <3

开心乐龙龙with S2 ready to 拜年！

Took in the car while on the way to Tangkak...

**********************************************

Finally reaching Tangkak and i feel the CNY atmosphere again!

One thing i like about CNY at Tangkak is to gather around with my super big number of relatives and chat all about the things that happened in one year.

Our Gan family is one big family.

I have 7 uncles, 2 aunties ( my father's sisters) and 30 plus cousins gather in one small house.

HOLY MAMA.

So most of us have to sit on the floor and gossip. Haha.

No choice lo cos too many relatives already.

The babies will talk to the babies and old teenagers like us talk among each other.

I sounded so old. >.<

And of course, the 1st question they asked me every year:

Chih Wei, got boyfriend le ma?

"No lo. So fat where got people want." I jokingly replied.

"Walao got or not oh, or your requirements are too high is it??"

...

I lazy to reply them. Haha.

Every CNY sure got this repeated conversion as a warm up before gossiping about the others.

On the other hand, is not that i purposely don't want a boyfriend, is i haven't meet the right one yet.

You think i so lucky like them meh, can find the right one so fast.

Even my uncles' wives told me to find a boyfriend as soon as possible cos i am not young anymore.

HELLO I'M STILL FREAKING YOUNG OK?

You think find a boyfriend is as easy as buying vegetables in pasar malam meh?

Saw a nice one and straight away buy it?

In your dreams then got la.

Even my dad also not worry about me having a boyfriend or not.

Haha my dad still is the best. :DDD

I hope i can bring back 王力宏 *ahem* a boyfriend back to Tangkak to introduce to my relatives and shut their kepo mouths up.

Cos my brother did so this year. 

Yup my brother Alvin bought his girlfriend back to Tangkak to meet my relatives especially my ah ma.

My ah ma likes her!

PASSPORT ISSUED and my brother was so proud and happy about it.

LOL

By the way, maybe, MAYBE if got fate i will bring back a boyfriend next year, or next next year to Tangkak during CNY. Haha me sound so kelian. 

As usual every year, the Lion Dance came to our grandma's house and performed!

This year is a cute red Lion came! :3

And i began to take pictures with my cousins! 

*Just now gossip too much until forget to take pictures*

Me and Con Nie...

Me and Xin Nie...

Me and cute Li Qing...

Everyone thought this big fellow is my boyfriend, nahhhhh, he is my brother Melvin!

Me and Mallory!

She and her elder brother Bryan is from Singapore.

She's pretty! :3

 Cannot imagine this Bryan just came back from National Service in Singapore.

Haha! 

Oh yea we haven't meet each other for 3 years already cos i went to India for 2 years and last year he was in the army camp in Singapore.

I think he's still the same just like before.

Funny and playful. LOL.

Wait, he became more muscular compared to 3 years ago!

Effect of serving NS for almost 2 years.

But can't really see his muscular body in the picture, too bad lo. :P

OMG i look bigger size than him. ==

Angle's fault la. Haha.

Me and my pretty cousin Win Nie! <3

Xin Nie and i are at the same age.

Don't think so? Go bang your head at the wall pls. =.=

 LOL sorry for the big fat legs of mine.

ERGHHH and my big fat tummy too.

Hmmmmm i think that is my short jeans beneath my shirt la.

By the way gotta exercise more this year to cut off those flabby legs and tummy.

Ok this year's CNY pass really really fast.

Maybe i'm too busy with my loads of assignments and projects.

Not to mention i have to force myself to study too.
