pray hard

God of Wisdom,

I thank you for the knowledge gained and the learning experiences of the semester. I come to you this day and ask you to illuminate my mind and heart. Let your Spirit be with me as I prepare for exams, guiding my studies, and giving me insight so that I can perform to the best of my ability. Please grant me the strength to handle the pressure during these final days of the semester, the confidence to feel secure in my knowledge, and the ability to keep an appropriate perspective through it all. Help me to keep in mind what is truly important, even as I focus my time and energy on these tests in the immediate future. Finally, may I sense your peace in knowing that I applied myself to the challenges of this day.

-Amen-

manipal masala maggi

mun yooi gave us masala maggi as souvenir from manipal this time. i am starting to miss the maggi breakfast that i used to have behind the KMC stage. wow.... those were the days when cafu, weiyen, skinny leow and I would be busy shoving down the hot plate of maggi while waiting for the classes to commence.

what is so special about masala maggi?


it comes in a double pack. Look at its thickness.............so much difference from malaysia maggi eh?


it has a history of 25 years! it is as old as me :(


it comes with 2 short stories, of which one is written by a doctor. so, i guess masala maggi is good for health?


cafu had been brainstorming the whole night on how to prepare that delicious masala noodles. the noodles in the hot wok.


finally......tadahhhh........................



gosh! are u craving for masala maggi now?


thanks mun yooi babe! it makes me miss manipal more :p

sticky mooncakes

I was day dreaming when cafu nudged me through the messenger.

cafu : bi, william's gf had gone back for the holidays. he's asking us to join him for dinner
me : oh ... let william decide what to eat OK? we'll have to cancel our ramadhan bazaar plan
cafu : he has a buy 1 free 1 coupon in The Windmill. We'll be leaving at 6 pm.

me : OK :)

We ordered 2 sets of dinner and was given another 2 sets for free. Needless to say, the boys had to finish up the extra food. I guess that is how they gain weight. Hehe

Then, we went hunting for mooncakes. We were fascinated with the snow skin durian and tiramisu paste mooncake. I had never tasted a durian mooncake for the past 25 years. Let's give it a try.

Cafu's tiramisu mooncake was just so sticky. I don't know why it was green inside.

it was as sticky as the elephant glue. stuck to the knife like a dead moth!!

Princess's durian mooncake was no way better. It was stickier than cafu's mooncake. We slit it open and the center core was stuffed with durian paste. I wonder where did they get the durian paste from? The durian season was 3 months ago. Oops.... The skin was too thick and it did not blend well with the durian paste. Might as well purchase a durian fruit instead. grr....

trying their best to get a whiff of that durianic bomb!!

Notorious's snow skin lotus mooncake was the best. It was the most presentable mooncake for the night.

The three of us had a cup of hot green tea each while feeding our lil tummies with mooncakes.

It was a quiet night. we were watching the chinese beauty pageant on astro when it rained cats and dogs. that idiotic box turned black instantaneously. there was no reception from the TV station. The bikini girls had all disappeared. I sensed the disappointment of the lustful boys.

We had no choice but to play mahjong while waiting for the rain to stop.



The Mid Autumn Festival Story




Once upon a time, the earth had ten suns. They burned the crops and people suffered of the infertile. Houyi sympathized the humans, so he decided to shoot down the sun but leave one to benefit the humans. After he shot down the suns, he became a hero. He had a beautiful wife name Chang'e and they lived happily together. Houyi had a lot of apprentices; they followed him to learn hunting. One day, on Houyi’s way back home the immortals emperor gave Houyi a pill which granted eternal life as a reward for shooting down the suns. He warned Houyi, “Make no haste to swallow the pill.” But Houyi loved Chang’e very much and did not want to leave her, so he gave the pill to Chang’e and let her store the pill in a safe place. Chang’e put the pill in her jewelry box. But one of Houyi’s apprentices Peng discovered this secret. He decided to steal the pill. One day Houyi and other apprentices went to the mountain. Peng pretended he was sick so that he can stay at home. Everyone went to the mountain except Chang’e, who stayed at home. He intruded in Chang’e’s room and forced her to give him the pill. Chang’e knew she cannot fight Peng so she took flight and flew far far away. She did not want to leave her husband, so she stopped at the moon which is closest to Earth. After Houyi knew what happened, he was very angry and heartbroken. He looked up into the night and called Chang’e’s name. He discovered that inside the moon there was a lady’s shadow that look like Chang’e, so he ran and ran and tried to reach the moon. He failed due to the strong wind.

So, i guess we celebrate the mooncake festival to remember lonely Chang'e who stays on the moon. wait!! there used to be ten suns?? that is just so fantabulous!

i hate smokers

we were waiting eagerly for the lift in Dataran Pahlawan after dinner with eric n rachel. Then, there was this guy who smoked inside the lift! i seriously hate people who smoke. If they want to die of bronchogenic carcinoma, can't they smoke in their own rooms? It is such a pity to have passive smokers dying of cancers. I loathe the smell of the nicotine. I hate to see people puffing cigarettes as if they were lollipops! I swear to God that i will divorce my husband if he smokes. He can sleep in the garden with the dogs!

I HATE SMOKERS!

STAY AWAY FROM ME!

grooming for nicky

i was reading the newspaper this morning when i suddenly realized that its time to send my nicky dog for grooming. it must be killing hot to have 2 inches thick of golden brown fur when the rain seldom pours. i called the Loving Pet Care Grooming Center in Ipoh Permai to have an appointment with Sam, the certified groomer. Then i kicked my lil baby brother down the bed and force him to accompany me. afterall, i can't be driving alone with that huge golden retriver sitting beside me. he'll probably lick my face when i'm driving.

nicky wagged its bushy tail so vigorously once he saw his greenish leash. somehow, he knew that we are bringing him out. we tied tigger dog outside the kitchen so that he won't be jealous. pity tigger! he was barking non stop for 15 minutes, begging us to bring him along. i gave him some chicken treats to calm him down. of course, it was to no avail.


the grooming center was a huge one. there were so many shih tzus at the receptionist. i have to admit that those shih tzus looked better than barbie (cafu's dog). i am not an avid fan of that silky fur dog simply because it is small and useless. it can't even guard a house. My nicky dog was the biggest of all dogs in the grooming center. applause applause

we left him there for 4 hours so that he could have a great time in his own spa, manicure and finally his hairdo. i've requested the groomer to trim his sexy chest hair. don't be mad at me nicky! your chest hair is just so disturbing at times.

Nicky was delighted when we picked him up. he stood on his hind legs and hugged my brother on the waist. The grooming package was RM 80. He searched frantically for his best mate, tigger once we reached home. Such a friendly dog!


Aha! went to satisfy our taste buds in The Vietnam House after Osce. Love the ambience and the food. The vietnamese bo piah was stuffed with rice noodles and steamed prawns. It was plain but yet it went well with the dipping sauce ( the sauce actually looked yucky to the naked eye). my coconut seafood curry with vemicelli was superb! everybody was merely staring at my coconut! lol..



silly cafu ordered fried rice AGAIN!! haiz.... he must be the most loyal guy on earth.

fried rice in famosa
fried rice in jiki
fried rice in bukit beruang
fried rice everywhere

Going back to my pinkish hostel room M428 tom.

a bad omen

it is yet another beautiful morning when my lil feet kicked the saliva stained comforter aside. i know that its time to wash my smelly comforter. will do that after OSCE ok? then, my eyes popped out when i read D's blog. she had actually tasted miya's food!!!!!!!!!! OMG... miya is the pussy that cafu and syarhan had abandoned one year ago. i just can't imagine how a sane human would consume cat food. don't get me wrong. D is not as crazy and nasty like ESTHER ( provided that she is not having those difficult PMS moments) . i have to believe that she is a lovely young lady for she adopted miya. sorry miya!! we didn't want to throw you aside but you are full of allergens.


The notorious monk wiliam invited us for dim sum this morning. hmm.... william is always funny since the day i met him in taylors college. he sat behind me in class and was always cracking jokes. we met again in india and i couldn't recognize him. how pathetic rite? we were gossiping about gigantic choo and how strict he was doing exams. then, we saw that horrible thunder amidst the cloudy sky. owh!!! we believe that it is a bad omen and choo will be taking our long cases. sob!! why would the thunder strike for no reason and there was no pouring rain after that? food was really nice. too bad for ham lau who couldn't wake up this morning!! haha


OK! TIME TO STUDY FOR OSCE!! cafu is making a big fuss of me blogging again!

books are emetogenic

so much have happened in the past 3 weeks. i had always wanted to blog but the finals was just around the corner. 3 papers were down and i don't feel like studying anymore. the books have become an emetogenic source. huhu...

A job interview was arranged for us. It was supposed to be a friendly encounter with the SPA people but it turned up sour. The Datuk told me that N is going to be extremely angry with me for not knowing his new baby concept of one malaysia completely! Then, he gave me the bomb. Do you mind serving the rural areas in sabah? Come on lar datuk... i don't care even if N is angry with me because i don't think that he understands his slogan too. i was then told to mention the names of some ministers ( with their titles in full ). oops.... do you need that to secure a job? If you want me to leave my land and stay in an island.. just send me there. FULLSTOP!!

There was a protest recently. I felt disgusted with the action of severing the head of a sacred animal. now where's the love for animals again? I am not commenting about any religion here but i am seriously annoyed with that particular person. it must have took him a lot of courage to tie the cow down and to kill it without mercy. what is wrong with that individual? what kind of mind set is this? we were all taught to love animals in school, weren't we? my neighbour, Ju thought that the head was a fake one.... haiz...

The finals had just started. I am praying for more luck.... afterall, shit happens!!!

-the end-
