Midnight Beast

No one has a sense of humor anymore.. at least not similar to mine anyway. Came across this parody of Down.. the Jay Sean song where he looked to ying in the mv but the moves were quite boyband-ish la. Seriously, I thought the parody by Midnight Beast was hilarious!! But then, every single person I showed it to had, like, no reaction -.-



Come on.. the dance moves and rapping parts are totally awesome!! Oh.. and you probably gotta watch it in hq if it doesn't load.. Anyone out there find this video funny?? Anyone??

Gifts and Shopping and NYResolutions

Ok ok... probably a whole lot of posts at one go ain't gonna make for.. what.. 4-5 months?? Can't really remember.. but I just wanna show my appreciation for all the little things in life which mean so much when given by the right people =)

From Jieyang: piglet (2008) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (2009)

Shi thinks I'm an alcoholic!!

Ohh... what's this from Steph Ong?

Tada! Haha.. Damn funny.. She just gave it to me last week I think.. and it was for Christmas!

From Steph Yen: Guess Gold.. kinda reminds me of Benefit's Maybe Baby.

From Wen-Jei: A whole bunch of perfume samples from Victoria's Secret, USA.

I'll be the first to say I was crabby and emo on my birthday coz, in my opinion, I'm OLD and that's no cause to celebrate. I mean.. I just turned 21 and what have I accomplished.. nothing. And then the matter of being single keeps popping up again and again and again.. Anyway, the point is everyone was so nice to me and it really made me feel better at the end of the day =)

The day started out with cake and ice cream at Yichieh's place with the ex-Lodgians which was really fun.. I'll always remember Leonard was the only guy and Joanne had this awesome beanie with a smiley face when she pulled it all the way down!! And Shih Yang couldn't make it coz he fell on the stairs and sprained his ankle.. what made this so memorable was that the exact same thing happened to Feng and Yichieh!! Then Feng and I joined Shi, Jieyang and Lilian for Sherlock Holmes and Korean food!!

The necklace is from Lilian and the bag's from Steph Ong, Shi, Jieyang and Ben (I think that's all of them.. )

This was the super-belated presents from Xin Ying and Jie-Ying when we met up with Jiun Siang for Middle Eastern food and "The Road".

My mom likes to think that's the key to my freedom but, in actual fact, it's a collar!!

Should have known my dad always send me a new notebook and calendar from the Sarawak Forestry every year..

My belated Boxing Day/ New Year/ early CNY shopping! Found out it's really fast to go to Westfield using London overground.. Omg.. I think Steph Yen and I went there at least 3 times last week =P

Aiyarrr!!! New Year resolutions ah: Number one: stop eating so much!!! Later cannot fit into my (new) clothes.. haha.. Damn annoying la.. stress makes me eat, get gastric and constipation.. My inital number one was to buy no new clothes until I lost some weight but... it got really cold and I needed more layers (of clothes, not adipose tissue!!).. Errmmm.. the rest are kinda standard every year: study, study, study.. get work experience.. go gym.. bla bla bla bla bla..

M to the I to the A

Missing In Action for months!! *guilty guilty* Sooo much has happened since last summer.. Well.. maybe not that much.. but there were some highlights.. and downfalls!!

1) Went for ONE ee lecture and meeting only to run away to Mech Eng coz it totally freaked me out in a baaad way.. So far 3rd year is ok la.. except the project. Damn celaka.. It's a design, MANUFACTURE and testing project for goodness sake.. 2 out of the 3 members in my group failed the manufacturing workshop in second year so they won't let us use the workshop. Takkan one person only do the entire manufacturing!!

2) I've moved to an awesome house near Fulham Broadway. Have to take a bus to uni now but it's ok.. and it's much closer to Steph Ong's place in Tooting Broadway too. We had an awesome housewarming where we (us girls and Steph Yen's boyf) cooked like crazy.. Oh.. it was also to celebrate Brian's birthday.

Did a ridiculous amount of chopping that day.

End product =)

3) Watched Jersey Boys with Paul!!! Hahaha... Didn't know he enjoyed musicals.. Was supposed to go with Steph but she fell really ill on that day.. Anyway, loved it so much, I downloaded the entire soundtrack the moment I got back.. Jersey Boys is highly recommended.. as awesome as Wicked!!! Love "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Ragdoll".

That's for 2 tickets =)

4) Went to Venice, Pisa and Rome with Feng, Berps and Shih Yang over Christmas. Most of my photos (which is not much is not much since my battery died and I didn't bring a charger) are already on FB.. these are just my favs..

Kuching!!

Kuching!!

Lovely scenery in Venice..

And I mean lovely!!

THE most adorable little dog in the train ^^

Ultra-wet day to visit the leaning tower of Pisa.

No awesome pictures of food (the memories will be in my heart and Shih Yang's map forever) but here's a photo of the colosseum ..

5) Have gone a little crazy with the baking.. there's like 3 different types of sugar (icing, granulated and caster), 3 different types of flour (bread, plain and self-rising), baking soda, baking powder and a whole lot of other stuff in my kitchen.. So far, I've made banana cake (coz the bananas were waaay too black), Jamie Oliver's bloomin' brilliant brownies, tiramisu, red velvet (fail!!! except for the icing!!) and, most recently, carrot cake... just finished the last of it just now.. no pics =(

I guess there really isn't much HAPPENING in my life if I can list them out like that.. haha.. well.. nothing else I can think of at the moment.. It takes so much more effort to upload photos now coz I can't get the bluetooth on my idiot phone to function. This means I use the camera, upload it and resize them.. you would think it would be easier with technology these days..
