So, I ended up attending HMC's Annual Ball, after all that adamant protest against going...
laugh all you want!
haha

truth be told, the food wasnt worth my ticket price,
but the night was alright la
Xiao Wei and I

Guess who I found there!!! My neighbour, SHang Mei!!! And we both didnt know we were sitting at tables alongside each other the whole time! haha

A random shot with a TerraCotta soldier...

I think...

Opportunity Cost involved: less RM 110 for upcoming Redang Trip!

I choose snorkelling over fancy-smancy dinners anytime!

You

I’ve been looking for love in another’s eyes
Searching for water, but I come up dry
Thought that I could find Happiness in the world’s applause
Peace of mind in a worthy cause
Take me back, take me back
Got to trust in the simple truth
Got to trust all I really need is

You
I’m coming back to You
The only thing I know worth living for
Will You take this heart and make it more like You
I give it back to You
It’s obvious no one could love me more
I’m Yours
I’m coming, coming back, yeah I’m coming, coming back

To joy that speaks to my deepest need
To arms never far out of reach
Yeah, how Your love it
Calls to me when I loose my way
Holds me close when I feel afraid
Take me back, take me back
Got to trust that I’m safe and sound
Got to trust that it all comes down to

So no more getting caught in the middle
No more waiting for what is unsure
Back to Your love so true and so simple
Don’t understate it or complicate it

It’s so simple, yeah, it’s so simple

You, coming back to You, You coming back
I'm Yours

I'm addicted to all her songs!

Big Big Bigger!

My tortoises grew bigger!!!!

Right now, they're bigger and heavier than my camera! so yay! Presenting the Pinky and the Arlie! (dont ask me what Arlie means; it was my sister's idea!)

My initial plan was to name them both Pinky and the Brain.

So I would have every excuse to sing the theme song as and when I feel like it! haha
But I could only name one tortoise.

Pinky's in her shell!!! She's probably cleaning it bcos its so messy. It must be messy all the time because she's alsways in it. siiiigggh

Here's a tortoise fact for you!!!

Did you know, that tortoises existed long before dinasours did? Yeaman!

So, my tortoises can live up to a hundred to 3 hundred years; which would make it the world's most cost-saving and eco-friendly pet!

See, if you think about it, it's worth that rm180 for one tortoise because then you can pass it down to your children who will pass it to your grandchildren and their children's children! haha

whats' more, they eat their shit/or the occasional bird poo on the ground;

so you don't have to flush their poop down the toilet bowl. save water, no?

Good investment I tell you!

Lankawi's Main Tourist Attraction!

During our stay in the very small and lazy Kuah Town- Langkawi's Capital, mind you, my friends and I spotted a spectacular moment no tourist has ever seen before!

And since I had my camera with me, I took the liberty of taking a shot of it, so I could share it with everyone. :)

Make that 3 shots. heh

Check out the Jeti Pelancongan! haha PelanLongan!
!!!!!!! Vandalism wei!!!

Seriously, what sane and responsible citizen of Kuah Town would do such a thing to the image of its own town????!!!

I bet you it wasn't a girl.

No, we females are very grateful for the invention of sanitary pads and we deeply respect the Pad Goddess.

So, last thing we would do is to stick it publicly on a huge sideboard to humiliate it.

But we didn't take it down. Heh

Only in Kuah Town, Langkawi.

Quickly, go book tickets there on AirAsia now!

:)

My Foreign Sister

Once upon a time in the hot summer days of August, two very very pretty and attractice foreigners approached my house- a Japanese and an Arab girl. And like the father in the story of the Prodigal's Son, I welcomed them both with open arms! ( the difference is that i have sweet oestrogen and im still young*aheeemahhhem im not twenty-somethingish ok)

Here they are!
Nanako Fujimoto and Siti Khalil binti Ahafinana
The Arab looks pretty no?


Haha I fooled you! Nanako and I decided to play dress up in Malaysian Batik! (She's wearing my bright volcano-fiery patterned batik pants!) So NAnako came to stay throughout my August break. She came under the Lions Youth Exchange Programme; the same one I went under when I went to Denmark last year.

Now NAnako ESTHER Fujimoto and Gloria Chieng SHIORI SzePing, doing our sisterhood thing- DO the LALA peace sign with clipped up fringes! haha Japanese people are so good at being cute la! They'd do the lala pose everywhere and anywhere! I look Japanese no? Many people mistaken my for a Korean though. How does one differ the Korean and Japanese? (MATA sepet??! heh)

Pssssst! I have her kimono!!!

The whole kawaii Japanese YEs who came to stay in MAlaysia during that period! Rachelle hosted a little hyper creature- Maika! It was a completely difference experience, hosting a foreigner. Next time, I want a hot European guy! haha

RUSHing through August

A little birdie once told me, 'With great (girl) power, comes great victory!

Haha (please refer to picture attached)

The reason why I've been missing for so looong is because August has been the busiest of holidays!!!

In fact, it wasn' really a real holiday. Not for me. But one month off from college and boring assignments gave me opportunities applenty to experience what I never thought I would ever do/have!

I would write a million words about the whole experince but doing that right now would just kill me.

Sad to say, I'm too lazy right now.

So I'll leave you with the significant of pictures I have in my camera at the moment.

OOOOh there's plenty to see, but this is the ultimate picture.

haha

proof and alibi of everything we endured.




that's right peeps,
WINNERS of The RUSH!!!!

not only did we beat our lecturer, Mr.Joel

but we beat the Africans too!

and of course CC and Raymond. haha

it was unexpected. and loads of people didn't believe it at first!

even my mom thought i was bluffing her when i told her the news!


that goes to show that you don't need great stamina, speed or strength to win a race!

but it takes a great God!


and of course some girl power!

hahaha

Thank you Jesus!

Do Not Take To Heart

Also do not take to heart eveything people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you.

-ecclesiates 7:21

Never build your life and self-esteem upon other people's opinion of you. This is not the right foundation. It is not solid, neither is it firm. People's opinions change all the time.

Instead, we should build ur lives upon the Word of God. It matters more what God has to say about us. His word is truth and it gives life! Therefore, we can hang onto it and rely on iot with great consistency!!!

-Kevin Loo

Well, what are you waiting for? Go grab your bible if you haven't already done so today!!!

RUSH

Here's what I've been chewing on for the past week!

NOTE:This post os not just a sampat-update on me, myself and I, but merely for the sake of updating.

But then again, which blog isn't about the blogger itself?

AHaha ok so quite a lot has been happening since last week.

The most prominent would be me participting in THe AMazing Rush-(the mini version of THE RUsh!) which I am going to be a part of this coming AUgust HOls in Langkawi!!! Whooo
Never have I had so much fun running around for the sake of reaching each station and completing the silliest and demanding of tasks.

This is basically what we did:
1) Ran all the way to GIant Supermarket, rummaged thru their bins for receipts that will total to rm 100. nothing more than rm101. wasted time here cos we couldnt calculate efficiently.aha
2)Search for some doode at the Labs. Decipher a word arrangement. It was LowerFOYEr!!! We RAAANN wwhooosh
3) Pamela super brave drink the icky-yucky drink withough even consulting me first!!1 mppph lan si show off!) ahah then we RAAANNN back to the LAbs.
4) RAAAANNN everywhere to look for the silly girl with some top. I so refused to say the F word on her shirt.( we had to read her shirt message aloud!)
5)We Surfed the net for some required info!!! thank you GOOGLE! eheh
6) bun-neh all the way to DSA, only to find out we had to run all the way to the basketball court!
7)My accuracy failed me that day. I did no Micheal Jordan proud. 5 minute penalty!!
8)Hippy-dance with some orangey-drink for 5 minutes!
9)Physical test with fitness doode!
10) RAAAANNN all the way to DSA only to be told to run all the way back to the starting point again!

All the while we were competing side-by-side with a sibling team! And thanks to our speed( Pamela and I were a tad faster), we lost! Cos before I turned back with my newly-informed clue(RUn BACK!) the sibling did. ANd since his sister was waaaay behind, they were in fact, now faster. Unfair huh? Well, we got fourth! Nevertheless, it was an experience worth my sweat and toil.

I did so much runnning, that I could actually feel the muscles in my legs!!! ahahaha really, you don't do much footwork in college. I think my muscles actually get frozen more often due to the cold cold lecture rooms!

Brother came back on Saturday! mann I miss him and now he's gone off to Langkawi with his friends!!1 hmmmppph haven't spend time with sister, wanna spend it all with friends!! I jeolous la.

On my student-life:
1)Powerpoint presentation on The Fourth Dimension.
2)Study Skills Journal
3)Maths Assignment and Quiz
4)Finals: up and coming!!!

Also, PRISON BREAK 2008 is coming sooon!!!
Watch out for juveniles!!!

AHAHAH

Free Rice

Banko made an attempt to nullify his overwhelming desire to eat. He tried straining his thoughts onto the limitless sky and its vast contents; occupying his thoughts with anything and everything but food.

Ignoring the churning from his stomach, Banko decided to watch a little blue bird flying gracefully above. With a loud chirp, it swooped down with quick speed, aiming for something on the ground below. It pecked with such furiousness that made Banko surprised; and soon after it rose up victoriously with what looked like a huge grub in its beak. Within seconds, the poor insect was swallowed by its prey, leaving the latter much satisfied.

The grumbling in his tummy could not stop; Banko was famished, and he could not take it any longer. Leaping up from where he sat, Banko ran towards the dry lands where he knew there was food.With forceful anticipation, he carefully dug out a crust of the ground with his bony fingers. Slowly, he lifted the sun-baked piece of dirt towards his mouth. As much as he hated its dry mud-like taste, sadly, it was all he had to cease the hunger pangs. The bland loathsome taste lingered on his tongue for what seemed like ages; but being given his unfortunate circumstances, he knew it was only inevitable.

There are many people like Banko out there who are dying of hunger each day. Given the chance, I would donate a huge sum of my million-dollar rolls to feed the poor and hunger-stricken. But sadly, my finite intelect and lack of experience in this world has forestalled my destiny as a billionaire. Only time will tell. Hahahaha

Ok, so I found this really interesting site on the web. Free Rice is the brainchild of John Breen, a self-employed computer programmer from Indiana. Free Rice is an Internet vocab game that is fun and educational and not only improves your word knowledge but serves as a platform to feed the poor as well! With every click of the mouse, you donate 4 grains of rice to the hungry!

Really wan! Because I'm such a passionate angel, I actually make it a point to donate about a thousand grains each day!!! ^^ haha ok la its new to me, so it seems pretty addictive now. But its worth every second on the computer screen.

I beseech thee, click click away!!

Seaside Escape

Last week, I happily skipped three days of college classes in exchnage for a sunny relaxing holiday all the way up in Pulau Redang, Terengannu!!!!

Before this, I never knew how much I could love the sea and everything in it!!! Clear blue sea that is. ( Gimme a typically dirty PD beach and I'll just stone under some coconut tree!)
Really, the sea ia an amazing place to just lie in the whole day!!!! With it being so clear blue and clean, you don't have to give a fret about any monster sea snail crawling up onto your toes!!! Or any unmerciless monster jellyfish stinging you to pain!

Once it hit morning on thursday, the whole Pearl group set out into the sea for snorkelling!!! We island-hopped to a few places to catch sight of some sea turtles and baby sharks. No baby sharks or dolphins though :(

Nevertheless, I had an amazing time just being in the water and having close-up encounters with the beautiful marine life there!! Once, a very beryy pretty purple fish greeted me as if to say, 'Hello! You got that right, purple looks good on me!!!'

Ahaha.

I was soooo excited and enthralled by the beautiful fish and the sea that when all the adults went to rest in the shades of the trees; franctically rubbing sunblock all over their body, I kept jumping into the sea!!

Thus, resulting in an aftermath of bright-reddish-skinned me!
Yes, my friends, GLoria finally got sunburnt!!!!!

Meet my new friend, Billy the grasshopper!! I was capturing him in jumping action!!!

Stacey, GLoria the great, Nge Seong

THe super shy Ah Xhyang!!! aka Goggle Boy!

I tried to convince him that his super googled-eye powers are no match to mine!!

See, I told you so!!!!

Sister and I

And now, its' back to assignments and classes!!!

Sigh, I miss the beach.

Live.Revolution

Presenting the crazeee hyper-funny class of March Intake 2008!!!! (not self-proclaimed...really wan) Well, it's not the whole class actually, we're short of the macho apek guys who left class earlier in a frantic hunt for their breakfast.

This was taken on our very last day with Mr.Levin Wong- Finite Maths Lecturer who is thirty and respectively married with two kids.^^ Or so he says.

That's half the crazee gang!!! There's 27 of us altogether if I'm not mistaken. I'm at the bottom with Andrew!!!

CAn you spot the purple trio???! Mr.Levin would be the one with the Lecturer tag. That's how we define our lecturers. THey all wear the HELP lecturer tag.

Really thank GOd for putting such friendly and simple-minded people in my college life.

Everyday is a day of fun-ness and joy!!! Well, exams is an exception. aha but so far, okla.

Foundation is far from stressful. For now that is.

ANyways, I just got back from YC CAMP 2008!!! Live.Revolution was without doubt one of the most life-revolutionary camps I've been to!!!! God's presence was super overwhelming at camp!!! ANd being just us YCians minus the usual Aussie guest speakers, large suffocating crowd, mundanely boring PeaceHaven food, new faces, performance night and hyped-up end to every session simplified everything and helped us to refocus all our thoughts and attention towards the one true thing that matters- our relationship with GOd.

I pray and hope with all my heart that the revoltuion would not just stop there but continue to live in the hearts of everyone in YC;to began to ring true through our thoughts and actions and passed on to many others.

Live.Revolution

OF free burgers

or rather calories!!!!

Now why on earth is MAcdonalds giving away free burgers???

Just last month their fill stuffing down Mcmuffin sausage burgers down the throats of many innocent beings.(especially HELPers!)

And now, they are offering free BIG MACS?!!!!

But it just gets tougher with bigger, more succulent burgers huh?

Now we have to 'sore' throatily into a free meal by chanting the BIG MAC chant!

NOt only do we sacrifice percious saliva jutting out words non-stop for 4 seconds, but we have to suffer the consequences of eating processed,fattening and absolutely zero-nutrient burgers!!!

MacDonalds may be clever in their advertising schemes, but they don't fool Gloria!!!

Aha!

Family Sports Carnival 2008

While most people would have probably spent their MAy 1st sleeping late and resting.

In utmost irony, I have laboured on Labour's Day!

We Pearlies pushed hard and brought our marketing skills beyond our limits, selling every sausage stick and nuggets to any potential buyers around.

ANd I conclude to say that we have not laboured in vain!! we made a whooping 80% profit!

yay!

I swam 4x50 m race today

we came out first of the last!!!

not bad, eh?

Of Sweet Times

Its been long since the three of us actually gathered and just hung out. And its thanks to the birth of my dear dear sweet neighbour friend, Li Hong. All in due to her birthday(6th april), Shang Mei and I decided on a suprise birthday cake! or rather, surprise bithday cake slices!! haha we got her five slices of secret recipe cakes! coughhinthintcough*

The Start of Beginnings

Its been three good weeks since I entered HELP College. Not that college life has actually started though. SO far, I only did 7 hours of college a week. And I just only got the required books for my course. And we have had zero assingments. TAlk about an easy college life.

But anyway, that was just the first three weeks. As of next week, I will be doing 17.5 hours of computing princuples, study skills, finite maths and intermediate english; excluding assignment time and workload. (Yes, in study skills we STUDY HOW TO STUDY!!!!)

How smart can you get, right?

My, sometimes thinking about it scares me. I read through my computer concepts book and I don't even know what I'm supposed to remember or look for. Honestly, I think that computing will be my worst subject. I can picture this semester's headlines: COMPUTING KILLS UN-TECHNO-SAVVY GIRL

God, I need a miracle. It doesn't help that my lecturer talks to himself all the time. In a really monotonous voice somemore. Apala, how are we suppose to listen to perpetually boring gibberish in a flat tone? But then, I guess I'll have to give him the benefit of a doubt, being a new lecturer on campus.

So far, I've hoped form group G to E. And sat in on A's study Skills once. The class has 10 boys and out of the number of males,6 are international students- 5 africans and one poor iran doode.
If you ask me, they should have placed them in pairs in different classes.That way, there won't be an international student group. I so wanted a korean in my class!!! Ironic that the people in E thought I was a korean international student!!!

The people I met are funny,simple, down-to-earth people. Nope, I haven't met any conniving evil back-stabbing friends! Nor have I met really inspirational people. Not yet la. But I really hope and pray I meet the right people in college; friends who will be there by your side, cheering you on in your daily pursuits and supporting you during your sad and refining moments; people whom I can share tears of joy and laughter with.

You know, it's been a breeze. But I'm beginning to ask myself what role exactly does GOd have for me here. I mean, are we not suppose to be the salt that enchances the taste of a dish and make all the difference in a person's appetitite? Are we not meant to be the light that pierces through the dim dark lies of this world?

whoa. that's big. and it's just so hard to see it take place where I am right now. sigh, God won't you help me?

College can be a pretty scary place if you ask me. Well, I guess every place you're in for a specific time can be. It all depends on the choices you make in life. Change happens. And you can;t fight that. I'm glad that there's change. I mean, without change, there is no growth, no joy, no hope. There is no life without change.

But change can be a risky and scary thing. That is, if you perceive change in a foolish or ignorant way, then you might just end up making the wrong choices in life. ANd instead of being moulded into your best potential, you end up being rusty and tainted- a bigger mess.

If ever we need to change, then let it be for the better, not for worse.

College is indeed the start of a different beggining, and of many more begginings to come.

DeMoralised

Yeaps, I seem to be a little demoralised...as stated in my SPM examination result certificate! I was never really a fan of the subject actually. If it teaches you anything, it is to lie! Because we just make up good stuff to write down and gain points all the time. Even my moral project was a total act! But then, it does teaches you how to pose for the camera! Like how to look like you are actually washing your dad's car...in a very determined and convincing way...

But I am super duper grateful to God for my results. So, if you don't know, then I got 9As 1B. That's right, B for moral. So please do stop spamming my phone inbox! I didn't know I could get so many messages in a day!

ANd before I even got home I knew everyones results in the entire big family! That's how fast news travels within the family. My AMA would be the CNN achor. So within a few minutes, all the aunties and uncles would be discussing about your results! Haiyoh, what to do, typical chinese family thing to do. As much as I dislike comparing results, I have to live with it. Well, at least SPM would be the last! Thank God!

To everyone who got whooping straight As,CONGRATULTATIONS!!!! To the ones who got lesser than expected...don't blame yourselves! ANd congrats too! Well, what matters is that we all did our best! And its finally over!!!!! The real deal now is after-spm life! Where you have to worry about finishing assignments, meeting datelines, living up to the lecturer's expectations of you and actually think of what you are gonna wear each day!!!!

But for now, I really really thank God with all my heart for everything He has given me! God, You are so good to me!!! Even when I dont deserve such favour and blessings! Thank You God!!!

I think the best part about SPM was that God was with me the entire time. It isn't really about the results, its the journey there that's important. And when I was pouring through books and getting all black-eyed, GOd was there giving me strenght and support, guiding and teaching me His ways! And truly, I didn't worry about anything at all, for He kept me filled with His peace. I couldn't have asked for anything more!

Brat in Disguise

Presenting the master of all innocent disguises!!! If there's ever anyone who can fool you into her infallible innocence, its my dear dear Singaporean cousin, Pei Yi. At the age of five, she can lure you into playing harmless friendly games with her, only to poke and prod at you, having you at her ultimate disposal. And i so happen to be, her ultimate victim. Human analysis- Name:Ong Pei Yi, Age:five, fav colour:rainbow, fav food:biscuits, bloodtype: possibly cold blooded, strengths: adorable cuteness, secret weapon: very berry mean words!
CAUTION: the subject identified can be very very very cute but dangerously viscious at the same time. Do not give in to her. I repeat, do NOT give in to her.

Which of course, I did. Aiyoh, how was I to know, she like that one?

The last time I met her, was at Ama's house in KL. Back then, she was so shy and intimidated by everyone, that she would run away or just keep quiet when you talk to her. But this time, when we visited her in her very own territory, she became surprisingly talkative and active!!! Huge difference really!

My first encounter with her, we picked her up from kindergarten...

me: hello Pei yi, do you remember me? I play cooking with you last time.
pei yi: (looks at me with her huge big bambi eyes) no! ( then coutinues playing with whatever she's playing with)
me: haarr really ar? but i draw pretty picture for you worr... see like this flower on my shirt!
pei yi: i throw away the pictures d...yuck!!! so ugly!
me: (utterly hurt of course) where got...see i look so preety!!
pei yi: yuck!!!!

(by tthis time mum and sis decided to play along and intervene of course...why not? we all find my rejection pretty amusing...

mum: (points at herself) so, pei yi, you like this aunty a not? (to which she chakes her head and says cutely 'yes')

mum: then how about this jie jie? (points to my sis) (yes again) and then very slowly points to me and carefully says, this one leh?

pei yi: no!

what did i do? haha but nevertheless we still played games and she made me her horsey, patient and chased me around for no apparent reason. also tearing apart and drawing on some of my stuff. but her cute smile and laughter is truly infectious.

one time, my dad treatened to eat her leg because he was sooo hungry. to which she replied innocently, 'but i haven't wash my leg!'

pei yi and her newfound husband. she is supposed to get married. but decides to put his hair in place first...

ohh no!!! what have you done pei yi???

she bully me i tell you!

Quick Escapade

Yeaps, my entire family took advantage of the past election to go for a quick holiday down north to Singapore! Nope, not because we are big on ignorance. You gotta admit that with everything that has been happening in our country- rise of foodstuff and petrol, the Hindraf movement, the ongoing racial discriminations... one cannot choose to go into total oblivion of the elections.

This year's elections has been byfar the most interesting and exciting in Malaysian history. And I must say that I am pretty pleased with the outcome! Truth be told, I am no political genius. But I do know that BN has been reigning since I was born. And that corruption runs rampant in the government. Lets face it, people get fed up. Malaysians need a fresh change of ruling. We want our voices heard. And this time, we got it! I am looking forward to what the opposition coalition will do for the better. Maybe this time we will actually be moving forward, TOGETHER.

Cheers to a better Malaysia!!!

If that happens and you can actually make without breaking much in Malaysia, then I might actually forfeit my masterplan to go to the US and marry a handsomely-rich Godly young ABC (American born chinese) !! haha on second thoughts...maybe no la

I've always wanted to travel around the world. My dream is to tour European countries, eat the best of Aseans, go on a cruise across the oceans, meet my husband-to-be in between, get married in Japan, honeymooning in hawaii, chase animals in South Africa, swim with pink dolphins and turtles under the sea, raise kids in the islands, then finally retire off in Switzerland!

Haha

Btw, it was my birthday yesterday.

Soooo....haaaapppeee beeelated burrfay toooo meeee!

Busy Days Ahead...

I admit I've been pretty lazy the past couple of days. Hence, the temporary blogging hiatus!
And I blame it all on the CNY food! Family reunion dinners and CNY open houses have been nothing but stuffing-food sessions!! All the excessive intakes of CNY cookies and pleantiful servings of meat has left me sluggishly guilty with a bulging tummy and some weight gain!! (not pretty...no :(

But I am quite satisfied with my Ang Pow colletion this year...a big fat rm 450!!!

Talk about being prosperous!!

All of which went to my bank account of course...I decided long ago to never use any of the red packets for splurging.

Anyway, there's pleanty to see and do until my intake in HELP College.

26th- Date with my Jay chou freak friend!
27th-Girls day out with Fei and Rach!
1st March onwards- MT meetings
7-10th March - Trip to Singapore
10th- MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
11-13th - Cf Camp (not confirm-firm yet)
14-16th - Mission Trip to SLim River,Perak
17th- Hello to Studying again!!!!

ANd somewhere in between all that are days helping my mum run errands, playing with the neighbourhood kids, watching whatever good stuff they have on tv, reading, baking cookies, cooking dinner, eating the food while cooking, exercising and eating again.

What is life without food?

-Foodless that is.

haha

Kampong Noodles

the inner me strangely decides to promote something...

so here goes...

Every year, without fail, my family and I will grab a plate of one of the best 'kam pua mein' in my dad's respective hometown-Kampong KOh, Sitiawan, Perak. Passed down through generations and prepared with the good hot chilli stuff (yea im a sucker for chilli!), the 'kam pua mein' recipe is the townfolk's very own version of wan tan mee. Strangely, albeit it being frequented by many customers, the noodle house still bears no name. It is situated right next to Restoran Yen Cherng, opposite Uji Jaya tuition centre.

Unique in its own way, the noodles are of a different type and its simple blended ingredients of fresh taugeh, choi and fried crisp pieces gives it a distinctive kampong-ish taste.

Heh, I likeee...

Of course,its a must to eat it with the chilli sauce! really, i think chilli brings out the flavour and syiokness out of every meal!

Captured Beauty

If you must know, I can take really good pictures when I want to! Actually I take good pictures all the time! Especially of me! haha

That is an understatement actually because I'm not much of a camwhorer.

That's right! Its me who becomes the object of everyone's camera lens! haha

Really, I'd rather take pictures of everything around me! There is no doubt to the beauty of Mother Nature that is so captivating. Here they are! Some of my Godly-inspired pictures taken in Denmark!
The forest right behind the timber house I stay in. (Pssst,don't tell my parents but Hui Yin and I got lost for about 5 minutes here! hehe)

The naturally pretty setting of the trees and bushes in the early morning winter weather

On the streets of Copenhagen, where a still river rests in between the heart of the city. Bold tree branches complimenting the usual brick houses. Its a really pretty vintage building actually. The naked branches of a tree left to frost overnight. The sun rising up from the clouds above the clear sea water. On the Store Baelt-2nd longest bridge in the world! My personal favourite! The frosted web. Never in all my life have I seen so clearly the intricate design of a spider web!
Yes, i take pride in the pictures I take!

You know I take good pictures. :)

Adorable Kittens Up for Adoption!

The most surprising thing happened last tuesday night. My Mom actually said yes to us taking care of the two abandoned kittens the neighbourhood kids found! But my Mom has no intentions of raising pussies for life. So, I'm left with two options. Either i throw them out to fend for themselves when they are much able or find them loving-cat owners.

SO here they are...introducing Captain Scratchy Whickers(black) and Pussy Natasha(brown)

Aren't they the most adorable things you ever saw??! And they look cuter in real life!

Please, to anyone who is capable and most willing to care for these two kitties, do call me immediately at 0173771151.

Upon finding them, I have since sacrificed my precious beauty sleep and long hours just feeding them milk from a bottle. Babies are a lot of work ok, its tiring just to sit there for an hour making sure they suck the nutrients out of the bottle.

Its so irritating how they can annoy you constantly with their meows until you just get completely fed up and then lure you into putting up with their fuss with that cute big-eyed innocent cat face.

I complained to my mom how I want to give them away already. She just laughed and pushed on saying how its good training for me. Hahaha. very funny.

So someone pleeeease adopt them ok. I did most of the hard work already. I used to sleep till 10 am. Now gotta wake up 7.30 am cause thats when they get hungry!

But trust me, they are worth all the toil and sweat when you see their tiny kitty bodies moving about more energetically.

so, pretty pretty pleeease with a kitty on top?

Of sweet Danish Memories

I figured I'd post up some pretty pictures of me in Denmark instead! Heh sorry la I really got no mood and time to do a proper post and all. SO here it is for now, enjoy!!

Presenting the one and only...
the lovely Andreason family!!!
from left: Clause, me, Soeren, Annette and Kurt! YO!! WE are macho macho people!!!
Our attempt to do a serious pose...but little Soeren spoilt it!!!
And yes, I taught them the LALA pose!!! haha

On the streets of Copenhagen...it was freezing cold I tell you!

The warm vigorous fire never fails to hynotize me and keep me warm!!!

This is little Mai (May). She came to visit with her family during Christmas. the most adorable kid I met in Denmark!!! She keeps talking gibberish in Danish to me, like I understand everything she says!!! haha I tried getting her to take a pictures with me,but most of the time she just wants me to take her picture. haha! believe me,this is one hard picture to get!!

HELLO PRETTY WHITE SNOW!!! It snowed a total of three days during my whole stay in Ulstrup! This was on the very first day I feasted my eyes on snow flakes! There wasn't much snow to dive in and all as you can see. Nothing white covering the ground. There was but a tad bit of light snow falling. But more than enough to make me happy!!! And no little snow will stop me from making my snowman!!!

This is how we roll it!!!! *sings Limp bizkit's Rollin'* keep rollin rollin rollin!!!

Viola! check out my masterpiece...MY very own self made Malaysian snow angel!!!!!!

Fuiyoh! Check out the good looking white snow people!!! Introdusing Mr Snowman and his beloved wife!!! Height: 170cm and 145 cm respectively. Religion: Christians duh!

Blood type: H2O. Total hp life: less than 24 hours. Due to poor marital relationships, Mrs snowman was somehow reduced to killing her husband by knocking off his head. They both melted in the sunlight on the 7th JAnuary 2008. May God bless their snowy souls. Now now, don't play dirty ok. (haha no i shall not admit to bad snow-making skills. ok i forgot to shovel off the dirt and leaves on them!) But other than that, I declare them the perfect snow couple of Denmark! They should so put them in the postcards. It would do the tourism board of Denmark a great deal. On the solero shots of Denmark!!! This was in the Tivoli gardens. Tivoli is a beautiful garden turned into amusement park. Waaay better than genting if you ask me!!! But for some reason the solero shots in Genting was scarier. I was singing my lungs out when we reached the top!!! It was a beautiful sight because you get to see the whole of Copenhagen city glistening at night. see how nervous Claus is. aye, he is afraid of heights! At the Christmas market in Copenhagen.They have fire charcoals almost everywhere here. Thank God! The wind was blowing hard that day. But despite the cold, we walked around the vintagely beautiful city for about 3 hours!!At the ice sculpturing demonstration!!! WE decided to play and poke at the man's big ice block! Claus painfully sketched my name out with his bare fingers. I put in effort by colllecting two rocks and placing it below my name. Can you see?? If you can't then something is wrong with you. Because it so claerly says that Gloria Rocks! hahaha Nah, we didn't ice skate that day. We were content enough with walking on the ice ring with our shoes and I had the satisfaction of smashing a snow ball on both Claus and Soeren! Posing with the one and only world famous fairy tale writer, Mr. Christian Hans Anderson!!!! Mention him and the first thing that comes to my mind is The Ugly Duckling!!! hee On the streets of Hinnerup ( Hin neh woop) where crazee Danes become extremely kiasu in lighting up their whole house with bright and colourful lights!!!! And what do they get in return??? A big fat electricity bill that is. Christmas week. This is Soeren and I!! Actually his name has scandinavian alphabets in it but unfortunately our Malaysian keyboards don't have them. You know...the O with the big slash over it. We were making deliciously sweet konfekt!!! Its a type of Danish Christmas delight. And yes, I have mastered the way of making them! hee Christmas eve. Arrive and grandparents place. Eat pork, potato, sweet bolied apple, Christmas duck with brown sauce. They had second helpings. Then Christmas rice pudding. Find the nut and get a present! Dance around the Christmas tree. Sing Danish Christmas songs. I was declared the best singer. Gather around. Then opening present session lasted the longest. they really take their presents seriously. We start from the youngest and move on in a many circles untill everyone gets to see each other presents and expressions when they rip off the wrappers. The kids get tons of expensive stuff. I get my very own MP3. ME and my very professionally made Christmas decoration. I call it NAture's light! Hee preety a not?

More pictures to come!!!
