BBQ in Kerteh

Disclaimer : No pork chop.

One fine evening, Angie suggested to have a year-end gathering for the Kerteh folks. So a BBQ it is.

I marinated the chicken wings!

Actually i learnt the marinate sauce from kc. Hehe..im genius ok, he only showed me once then I can remember all the ingredients ad.=P

Then the guys brought some vodka and wine. Mixed with juices.

Some seniors from UTP, some from petronas

Appreciating the wonderful tradition we have

Chef of the day,Jarryd (kerbau's housemate)

Angie, prettiest of them all. The malay colleagues of hers always kap her like mad. up down left right.

The light was warm, the air was breezy (because Rantau Laut housing area is by the beach) and the gathering was simply happening in this quiet town. And they kept asking me ‘ when you are leaving?’ because somehow the bbq was my farewell. haha….but to me, it was just a reason to have a gathering afterall (in a good sense).  ” Every event must have a purpose.And the purpose makes things meaningful.” Quoted from Timothy.

Next up: my bro’s wedding in Penang.

my not-so-flawless face

Yesterday I went clicking on my opu’s homepage…then the photo that pop out makes me feel like asking the corporate affairs ppl to remove it. SOBS..

Sigh

Of so many shots, why must put such close-up picture of mine. Till can see my pimple scars!! Btw, thats my cover-all. You might ask why it is in blue.not yellow. The answer is cus we dont wana advertise for Digi. ahhaa..nah, becauseee *INFO* blue symbolizes gas, and our OPU uses ethylene gas to produce polyethylene (duhh..if any pet engineer ask me why ethylene is in gas form,I will ask them to go retake their degree.)

I am currently lying on my queen-size bed, watching ‘unsolved history of pearl harbour’ on discovery channel, and simultaneously watching tvb. Then Miss Beulah (who is spending her first weekend not in KL, great achievement *clapclapclap* ) just texted me and asked me to go Kuantan. (Booo… this girl cant even sit still at home for a quiet weekend…forgive her, she cant live without malls) But I dont wana get stuck in the flood and jam for 2 hours just to cross the bridge! haih…tough decision. doink doink! shall blog about the flood later. Now hotel very dry so no picture for you guys.

Simply delicious

Now that I am stuck in the midst of  a pool of dirty rainwater * glance over the window, parking lot is nowhere to be seen* , so I decided to write something about how i spent my weekend in ipoh.

Last week was Haj holiday and in this land, it was a bonus two-days holiday so I got 4 days weekend ( hak! finally I got something that makes you jealous ,miss hew) . Anyway, I carpooled kerbau’s kerbau (sounds so weird, but yeah, his car is gray and it looks like a buffalo) to kl since he is meeting nata there. Then the next day I took a bus up north to ipoh, it has been awhile since I took  a bus and I was not comfortable sitting next to  stranger. Thus, I was awake whole journey, in case he ( a Burmese or something) pretends to fall asleep and lean against me. bluek! Kc fetched me to tong sui kai and I ate two bowls of tong sui despite after having a quite-heavy dinner at home. If you give me 10 bowls of tong sui everyday also no problem cus I used to finish whole pot of tong sui alone at home , for my mom.

Oh oh, I forgot to mention…my hp died on Thursday morning (the day I went back to kl) ,very fortunate that it decided to do me a favor to wake me up before it shows blank face to me. I went to work without handphone and I felt like I have lost a part of my soul. I kept trying to resurrect my hp but it was so stubborn. This is how technology controls us, worse than losing IC, passport or credit card.  So the first thing I do is to fix my handphone when I reach kl,the stupid guy told me it is the screen that is causing problem and said need 140rm to replace the LCD. I waas like ” I rather trade it off then…” so I went to Ipoh to ask again. And the hp guy said the sliding part spoilt and only cost 60rm. Finally after few hours of surgery, my hp came alive. =))) That night we had BBQ at kc’s house. Meat meat and sausages…and mahjong…and poker after that, felt so seashore-holiday.

The next day, we went to watch Planet 51, which is a funny animation that talks about aliens seeing human as alien on their planet. A mind-relaxing movie I would say. plus I get to watch for freeee cus I got a free ticket on my birthday month. Muahhaha.. After lingering around, we decided to go home and kc made me this–>

Carbonara ala chef chai

Forgive the macaroni, supposed to be spaghetti but search whole tronoh and taman maju also cannot find one freaking-precious spaghetti. It was Sunday and most shops closed. But type of noodle is not a factor so nvm, it was perfecto with pork ham strips. Give me carbonara yee min also I will finish it. =) Thankiu darling. lalalalala…

Sorry that the carbonara macaroni is the only picture I took whole journey. I forgot to take picture of the BBQ , nor the dimsum brunch I had, nor the cendol I had, nor the yong taufu I had. Mainly because I dont wana make you all jealous about another thing,besides the 4 days weekend *Evil laughter*

Hope the sky will stop crying cus I am bad at handling tears. I dont want my car to die in the middle of the road. *finger crossed*

two more years to 2012

After two weeks of struggling in a pork-free land, I went home last weekend to meet with jes and kahling for 2012!! And not to forget kl and her special friend Aaron , also the very kesian punye Shen who sat behind me during the cinema and kept kicking my chair (dunno for wat,maybe too lonely at the back). HAHAHA…

 

Before the movie, we went to Dragon-i for some more-human-consumable food (as compared to what I had here). Miss Hew ate her porkchop fried rice at the speed of 1spoon/5mins , so one can imagine how long she finish half of the pot. The moral of the story is if you feel full, you shud eat faster so that you dont feel bloated till you can only finish half of the food portion like Miss Hew. (Sumo kept drinking the chinese tea, mentang2 is free flow). In the end I stuffed her a shanghai dumpling before I went off to get my bag. After I come back, I find only one bite on the dumpling. -_-

look closer to her friedrice and see how much is it inside!

miss hew, jessss and i

After the meal, jess introduced a ‘new’ shortcut to us. So we took a few photos there (next to a dustbin) .

Jes says, its a NEW shortcut !

Jes and her sis, Li May

The library, new hangout spot for nightlife-ter

 

I doubt you can find any encyclopedia inside. Maybe ‘ Alcohol 101′ or ‘The philosophy of drinking’ or ‘  How to check out hot chicks for Dummies’

A horse carrying a lamp on his head outside the library. hurmm..

So thats my weekend. Next up is Lookout point in Cheras. But I think miss hew dun wana bring us la, jes.. She got special friend enough ad..sobs

Geburtstag!

Hehe…thank you everyone for the wishes! Cant wait for the weekend to come!!

Tough week

This week was a tough one for me. Mostly on the energy that I need to give out to meet new people, remembering names especially when everyone seems to share the same name with different spellings. And I had to put on a smile on my face, while making coffee in the pantry, walking into the elevator, walking through the crowds in klcc and etc. You know, the tiredness of having to put on the most cheerful smile when you have nothing to be excited about. And worst is when people is so interested to know the only chinese young female executive in the whole floor. People just kept throwing me questions repetitively, until a point I feel like a clown having to entertain everyone in the room.

Thats one part. It gets tougher when I cant login to windows. Yes, workstation! until I asked the iperintis guy sitting next to me whats the password to login. Then only I managed to do some paperwork on my desktop. Believe it or not. a leading oil & gas multinational of choice-wanna-be still provide her staff with CRT monitor, which makes my life more miserable cus I cant focus on the blurry monitor. It just hurts my eyes. Sigh.

Then now I am back at home. Saw something that I dint wana see. And feeling down.

Plus, next week I am posted to kerteh again… for three months. And I am thinking of getting a broadband this week for that three day-like-year months.

Events and people just bothers me this week. The only happy moment I had was today’s lunch when I had M.A.C make-up with xiao qi. Thankiu xqxq.

Last day at work

Today is my last day at work. And it is the first time I’m late to work  by 25mins. I dint do it on purpose. Blame the traffic. eek!

Those days in hospital

Recently a friend of mine underwent an operation and she posted pictures of her during her stay in the ward. One of the pictures reminded me of my stay when everyone else is enjoying their semester holiday.

The best part of being operated is that you dont need detoxifying/slimming pills  or diet plans to lose a lot of weight.

my tag

This is included in the hospital stay package. But I dint touch them at all. Who eats curry chicken when they are sick??

The needle that stays.

No sexy nurse.

The nurse is injecting the fluid to force the blood back to the vain,when the blood backflow into the tube. She did that several times a night cus she FORGOT to check whether my nutritious fluid pack is empty and my blood backflow-ed into the tube..  This is really painful because you can feel the cold fluid being pumped into your vain and your vain is  icy cold for the whole night.Dun try this at home. =P

Have a gross Monday morning if you’re reading this on a Monday morning!

Who says height is a problem?

I have been following American’s Next Top Model (ANTM) cycle 13 religiously every wednesday. Despite no DC for me to download, I still can watch the latest episodes, thanks to youtube. Haha..

Unlike the previous cycles, this time Tyra realized petite girls’ dream of walking down the runway. The criteria to participate ANTM 13  is that they must be below 5 feet 7, meaning below 170cm. 

But every cycle must have a girl with attitude problem so that the cycle will have more drama. This time, they have Bianca. Her face is no where near to a model ,but yet she has passed two elimination rounds as the bottom two. (she will get kicked out sooner or later, with her mouth) . And I hate when she starts complaining.

Bianca

The girl i like watching is Rachel cus she got a pair of enormous eyes and she looks like a country girl. Haha..I always prefer country girls over others. At least they are more soft-spoken and not so materialistic as compared to city girls.

Rachel

Erin and Brittany are the other two I like. Others are just so-so. But the winner always turn out to be someone you never expect she will win.

Erin

Brittany

Jennifer - the only Asian in the show

RAAAWW.. I blog cus I am a bit sien looking at patents. Now getting back to work,in case boss skype call and pressure us again. *making sure my skype is not online these few days.
