Bright!

Waiseh!!! So fun walking back from work today! As mentioned yesterday, the clock was forwarded one hour. So it is SUPER bright when I walked home today (7pm). Usually it will be pitch dark at this hour! One of my colleague teased me: "Melissa, it's so bright! You can see where you're walking back to now...". One word...WHATEVER! LOL! She's one of the anjing betina =p Anyway, it was really exciting to leave the shop before sunset. It somehow makes me think it is not time for dinner yet because it is still bright. LOL!

One more week before lectures start and I HAVE NOT start my assignments. SHOOT! I am going to dedicate this final week to finish it (at least some of it)!!! *Fingers crossed*

Ching Yee went to visit BC over the weekend and she stayed over. I would very much like to go but I was stuck with work =( LOL! She came back today and ta pau-ed for me...

Bubur Cha-cha~

Some random pictures that fascinated me =p Bought it after Easter so the price was reduced and yes, I was tempted again =p

3 (chocolate) eggs in a box.

Cute-ness! (the white thing is fondant)

Look properly! They actually made the 'yolks' too! LOL!

Malaysia mana ada?! LOL!

Short update~

Working in Sports World can be such a pain in the arse at times! Seriously! Don't know why Ching Yee wants to work there =.= LOL! She's got the job by the way...so I think she'll start soon. Anyway, I put my availability on Fridays for 10-3pm ONLY! Guess what?! I am put to a 3-8pm shift this coming Friday! Hell NO! I texted my assistant manager and told her I'm not coming for that shift. LOL! She obviously didn't reply...she never do.

Anyway, today the clock is going to be set FORWARD an hour. Damn! LOL! Means I have to go to work at 8am instead of the usual 9am =.= *ROAR* Should go to bed now...LOL! Oh...to all Malaysian peeps, this means that the difference in time zone is just 7hours now...instead of the usual 8hours =)

Easter weekend~

Seems like a long time since my last post =p my apologies! Ching managed to take a nice shot of the sleet on 22nd March 2008...

Nice right?! Like sugar =p

Easter Updates!!!

23 March 2008.

Me and Ching went to BC's house to stay over for Easter weekend. We decided to treat them (For once! They are always treating us =p) with a traditional Easter dinner meal =) Here goes:

Sliced chicken breast with onion and sage stuffing, boiled vegetable, chips and Yorkshire pudding served with chicken gravy.

The set up.
We over cooked! Extras at the middle...
The three bottles: Wine, English mustard and cranberry sauce (fantastic with chicken)!

The wine we had. Lambrusco. Super yummy!

Dessert: Red bean and black glutinous rice soup.

24th March 2008.

Woke up, and it was snowing again!!! =D

The room (where me and Ching bunk in) window view. Exactly facing a kindergarten play space =.="

Boon Choo's front yard.

Snow on grass =)

How can the cam whores miss this one?! =p (Yes, we're not properly dressed!)

Dinner: Tom Yam noodles (spaghetti) with prawns and pork. Super yummy! The spicy-ness made me slurp down THREE friggin' plates!!! *ROAR*

Dessert: Cocoa coated truffles.

It looks normal but it is super addictive (and fattening)!

25th March 2008.

The last day at BC's. Had a superb dinner again =p

Broccoli with oyster sauce and spring onions.

Salmon with soy sauce and spring onions.

MORE salmon!!! *wicked laugh*

Chinese style stir fry noodles (spaghetti).

Finally, SOUP! SUPER sweet soup!!! Herbal soup =)

26th March 2008 (today).

Had an interview for NI (National Insurance) number at Camden today. It's a compulsory number for working people. When I came out of the tube station, SHOCK OF MY LIFE!!! 90% of the people on the streets were gothified! The shops remind me of Petaling Street but instead of fake Prada and Gucci, they were selling kinky hand cuffs, punk rock and skeletal merchandises. I wanted to take a picture but I fear for my life =p so I only managed to take a quick shot of the Camden Market.

Somehow in this shot, the people are from the 10% (dresses normally).

I spent about 2-3hours walking along Camden High Street, enjoying the goth-ness and I finally had enough and so I went to...Central London! LOL! I came out at Chinatown and I passed by couple of phone unlocking shops. I managed to get my LG Viewty unlocked! *jumps in joy* The guy was funny (Note: The whole convo was in Cantonese):

Me: Do you unlock LG Viewty?

Him: Let me see.

Me: (shows phone) How much do you charge?

Him: 10pounds. With Chinese language. If you don't want then I'll do it for 8pounds.

Me: Oh ok...I'll come back in a minute.

Him: Ok la...I'll do it for 6pounds. "Special price" for you.

Me: (LOL) Har?! So hard to count...5pounds larh!

Him: Ok.

And now I can use a Malaysian SIM in my Viewty!!! Hoorah!

At Chinatown worh! From bottom left: BBQ chicken pie, egg tart, curry bun, ham tan soh, polo fire bun, lou poh peng =D but 6.50pounds *cries*

After that I took a bus (raining marh) to Oxford street for...shopping (duh!) =p First stop, Primark! Left the shop with two tops (I know my mum is shaking her head now =p). I have the urge to spend money today *guilty look* LOL! I have two pairs of green earings but no tops to go with! So I ended up with two green tops >.<

One of my new top. Over sized green striped top with ribbon belt.

Bought these in a 99p store in Camden. Normal retail price: 1+pounds each. So I jimat-ed =p

Snowing on Easter morning~

23rd March 2008!!! Happy Easter!!! LOL! I woke up at 7.30am today and it was snowing...heavily! Super fun! LOL! This time I managed to take couple of snaps and a video too! The video is super clear compared to the pictures =p It was really nice. I banged on Ching Yee's door to wake her up to see it but...no sound from her so I left her alone =p Seeing and feeling (yes, I went down to 'touch' it...LOL!) snow for the very first time in my life, definately a moment to remember =) Here are some pictures...it looks like rain drops but it's NOT! LOL! If any of you want to have a look at the video, let me know and I'll send you a copy =) It's REALLY nice!

Going to make a dinner meal for Boon Choo and Danny this Easter =) Will update soon!

Ok I decided to upload the video here =p Enjoy~

Snow!

It snowed!!!

This morning I woke up for work about 8.30am.

Went in to the kitchen to make oats at about 9am. While I was looking out the window eating, I saw white foamy stuff drizzling and it was SNOW!!! SO syok weih! First time so you can't blame me for being such a jakun! =p

Anyway I tried to take a picture but it wasn't showing clearly so I thought of going out to feel it =p Sadly my bowl of oats was too hot and I can't finish eating it on time. So the snow stopped before I could touch it...sad.

It is predicted to snow heavily on Easter Sunday. Yeay! LOL!
