A sneak peak to what I've been cooking (or not cooking) all these while.

Ham and cheese quiche!

Stir fried potatoes and minced pork

Onion rings omellete and stir fried chicken in hsiao hsing wine and onions

Salted radish omelette and choy sum

Breaded chicken, omelette and choy sum

Stir fried potatoes with bacon and steamed minced pork with tung choy

And Ben and Jerry's ice cream!!!

Nothing else better than to end your day with ice cream =))

Hello Leeds!

Am safe and sound in Leeds now. Trying to settle down ever since I got here. Progress?

Slowly but surely.

Not much pictures to boast about now. Just the ones of the place I'm staying.

Me room

Me desk

And the view outside my room... -_-

The kitchen

The living room

And the view outside. That's civil block.

Electrical block's on the left.

And.... towards Hyde park...

It's Official

And so it is. I'll be leaving for the land of burger and fries =S

Tomorrow night.

A gruelling 14 hour flight awaits me. And yeah, another 3 hours of transit.

Aii... wish me luck =)

Till then, toodles~~

When I was in a baking frenzy

Which only lasted about three nights...














But what the heck, they turned out REALLY good!

RAWRR!! Raptor Eggs

Raptor eggs??

Nah...

Just lizard eggs. Found them in the old house when I was packing everything into boxes. These eggs are so damn HUGE compared to the lizard itself. Imagine the PAAIINNN... Oh, the agony...

Up, up and away

I finally found some time to sit down and upload these pictures one by one. Stupid blogger hangs whenever I try to upload everything at one go. So I had to resort to doing everything one at a time -_-


Nine of us classmates went up north to Ipoh and Penang a week after our final exams. Thus, our so called Grad Trip. Yes, all nine of us. All nine of us who are just one paper away to becoming engineers. Could you imagine the noise we made and the chaos we caused?! Albeit all these chaos, we had so much fun during the 4 days.


This was supposed to be a makan trip. For the guys actually. They wanted to eat EVERY single hour -_- I brought them to almost all the best stalls in Ipoh and they were as happy as a fat kid with ice cream =)

All our car-faces. Just arrived in Ipoh then. Checked in the hotel and freshened up.

Black Jack and Big 2 circle. (Are Big 2 and Poker the same thing??)

The Mah Jong circle. Gosh, my classmates are so pro in gambling that they put the God of Gambling (if theres one) to shame

And then at night we had the ever famous Ong Kee Steamed Chicken and Bean Sprouts. I think you wouldn't want to know how much we ordered. I think the amount will scare you haha. But then, to my surprise it was really affordable. Less than RM100 for all nine of us. Well, if you see the amount of food we ordered, I think it's actually quite cheap.

And then suddenly everyone kinda got obsessed with these lotus pods -_-

Which, to me, looked like worms in a pod =S

See... I told you. There are more. Just I have no patience to upload them all.

The next morning, we had Dim Sum in ipoh Garden yummz

Meh. All of us.

And then we were in Penang. The hawker food in New Lane are all oh-so-yummy =))

Oh Chien, Char Koay Teow, Assam Laksa, Otak-otak, Porridge, Lin Chee Kang, Chee Cheong Fun, Ais Kacang... Gosh, hungry adi -_-

And then supper in the food court in Gurney Drive

The Mua Chi there is da bomb man! A MUST try...

And then shopping!!! =)) Where I got a Roxy bag =)))

Oh ya! Before I forget. There's this guy in our group who has really poor control over his bowels -_- I know this might be too much information for some of you, but once you finish reading what I'm about to tell, I can bet you'll die laughing.


So there's this guy (remaining anonymous so that I may live to see my grandkids wtf) who has REALLY poor control over his bowels, so much so that he keeps farting like every 15 minutes. Whenever I'm around! -_-


I really couldn't stand the stench, so I've been running away from him almost the entire trip, while having fits of laughter. I call him the silent killer LOL. For the entire trip, he kept on asking me to gamble but then sometimes I malas nak layan him and that is when he lets out the silent bomb wtf.


And the funny thing is that after he takes a dump, he can still fart!!! Wadafarq!! Where got people like that one! He is really one IN a million. -_-


Okay, enough shitty stories. Haha notice the pun =P

The Ship at Batu Feringghi

Park Royal Hotel Batu Feringghi

Kononnya macam F.I.R. -_-

The neverending pasar malam

And then wraps up my so called Grad Trip =))

Toodles =)

FD 4 Rest In Pieces & Up

Russell : Good afternoon. Are you in need of any assistance today, sir?
Carl Fredricksen : No.
Russell : I could help you cross the street.
Carl Fredricksen : No.
Russell : I could help you cross your yard?
Carl Fredricksen : No.
Russell : I could help you cross...
Carl Fredricksen : No!
[closes the door on Russell's foot]
Russell : Ow.

Gamma : I may be small but I sure am not big.

Young Ellie : You don't talk a lot.
[pause]
Young Ellie : I like you!

Ellie: [her last message to Carl] Thanks for the adventure. Now go have one of your own.

Dug : Won't you please be my prisoner, please please please!

Carl Fredricksen : [Carl, with his house high in the air, opens his door to see who knocked on it. Looking around, he spots Russell and yells... ] Whaa!
Russell : Hi, Mr. Fredricksen! It's me, Russell!
Carl Fredricksen :What are you doing out here, kid?
Russell : I found a snipe, and I followed it under your porch, but this snipe had a long tail, and looked more like a large mouse.
[His flag then blows away in the wind, and he gasps]
Russell : [Turns to Mr. Fredricksen] Please let me in.
Carl Fredricksen : [pause] No.
[He slams the door shut]
Carl Fredricksen : [Russell waits uncertainly for a few seconds. The door opens again] Oh, all right...
[Russell runs inside]

Not good enough to watch it in a theater. For me at least. I always believe that cartoons are not meant to be watched in the cinema. Nonetheless, this one cracks me up =D

:+:+:+:

The title says it all. Almost every character in the movie rest in pieces in the end. That or everything smashed up into puree *pukes*

Hunt Wynorski : We just lost one hot MILF!




Lori : I've got my cowboy right over here.
Janet : Get a room, guys!


Hunt Wynorski : That's a lot of tampons for one woman!



MILF : I've got my eye on you two


Hunt Wynorski : If I'm going to die, then I'm going to make the most out of every moment I have left, so I'm going to do what I do best, I'm gonna get laid. If I'm dying, I'm trying.

Possibly and easily the most gruesome movie to date. I'll never look at escalators and movie theaters the same way ever again. Easily for the next few months.

Holla!!!

Okay, this post took me quite some time to compose. Tried to upload all some photos from before finals till where am I currently, but it took me almost 3 nights to just upload these miserable four photos. Bahh. I'm now too lazy to wait for stupid blogger to load everything that I have.

It's either blogger's fault or my old junk of a laptop's fault. Must be the latter coz I don't see any of my blogger friends having any problems uploading TONNES of photos on their blog. Time for a new laptop perhaps. Battery already long gone. Just waiting for the charger to die now.

So just settle for these four photos in the mean time. I guess most of you have already seen my uploaded photos of the last day in INTI and the ones in Ipoh and Penang with my classmates in facebook already.

The darlings sent me a package a week before my finals. Elmo mug, Elmo T-shirt, Red Rock chips and a good luck card! *love* Thank you darlings!! How thoughtful of them. They were in Cairns and Gold Coast that time, having a jolly good time while I try to squeeze brain juice out of my already sore brain =((

Chocolates from Europe!! *love* Thanks hun! Although some melted, I still loved it =))

And Domokun was studying with me the entire time for finals. I have other really cool pics of what Domokun can do but sadly, I can only upload these two. The rest all failed =((

:+:+:+:

So degree is finally over. I can now scratch that off my list. Now what? Oh yeah. Wait for results *knocks head* And then apply Visa. I have tonnes of stuff to do right now leading to my flight to Manchester but the excitement of going there still hasn't sink in. Perhaps when it's near.

So here's a brief checklist of what I'm supposed to do leading to those days :

1. Wait for results (still waiting...)
2. Get bank letter
3. Get offer letter from Leeds
4. Photocopy transcripts and other nonsense
5. Get Visa photos done (CHECKED)
6. Make appointment to submit app for visa
7. Wait and rot at home while embassy processes visa
8. Pay flight ticket
9. Meet up with friends and relatives
10. Say bye bye to Malaysia

I've only managed to check one item out of ten! can die I tell you!! Gotta get things done by this weekend. By hook or by crook! And for now, a few updates of what I've been doing since finishing degree :

1. Ipoh and Penang
2. Genting
3. Moving house
4. Lots of unpacking (even till now, which is like 3 weeks into moving?)
5. Bumming at home
6. Full time family's personal driver (Gosh, I frickin' HATE driving so much!!)
7. Part time chef (Learning how to cook more dishes now so that I survive UK -_-)
8. Three quarters time Maria (Chores, chores, chores)
9. --Fill in blank--
10. --Fill in blank--

I foresee stressful days counting up to Visa Application days. Thank God I have wonderful people helping me along the way. Mwah!

Till my next post, bye!

A lil hiatus

Do expect a short hiatus here. Till somewhere in August. Final semester is killing me softly.

Final Project report, project slides and Corporate Management reports due the same week next month.

And, there's VHDL and RF reports to be done!

How am I ever gonna survive?! Oh God, please pray for me O=))



P/S : Updated the "Joining the old fart club" post below.

Salute to the Seahorses

Let’s all give it up for the male seahorses. He’s the only species on the planet in which the male carries the babies.

Oh yeah, AND he can get knocked up again within 24 hours of giving birth. Schweet. =D

Happy Father’s Day, little Dude, and to all you Daddies (humans) out there =))
