-Sanctum-


That was one of the freaking big hole @ cave!!! I was waiting for some freaking giant underwater mammals to come out and attacking them. But no and glad to say that it’s not another freaking ‘aliens’ fish tore off the human’s head or legs with a pool of blood splattering around. The plot was about a team of experienced divers on their expedition to explore that freaking big underwater cave.

I don’t understand what the hell they ever want to do such dangerous job. It’s so scary, man! Just look at the cave and diving through that small terrain are giving me a nerve. Exploring something new is fun and adventurous but there is always a risk. Worst, life threatening risk!

Sometimes through this kind of movie, I came to realize that when we, as a human being, are on danger or in a grave situation, it will released our ‘evil’ nature. People will just do anything to survive. Or when we are panicked, we can’t think clearly or listen and it turns out to make the matter worse. So it was vital to stay calm and think before react.

The way Victoria’s dying was real gross. I am still wondering what was the ‘white thing’ that being torn off from her head. Eeeewww!!! I felt pity for Frank dying because he was supposed to survive with his son. But that bastard Carl killed him. Frank died because of him, not because he couldn’t make to the exit. Sigh. Pathetic. Carl was the one causing his sweetheart, Victoria fell to death but he put the blame on Frank.

Rating for this movie: 3.5/5
So you should watch it or else you are going to feel like being left out when people is busy talking about that freaking big hole and the movie. After all, it was produced by James Cameron.

-Do yOu knOw Me???-


你认识我吗?
我不认识你。你是谁?

A question often being asked.
No, I don’t know you. Who are you anyway?
I am XXX.
No. I still can't recalled who you are.

A name is just an identity but it can't represented who we are.
People know us for our name, not our personality.
Sometimes we are confused with who we are too. Who is the real me?
No one can tell except yourself. You are who you want to be.

So I give up hope to expect you to understand me better than anyone else.
A stranger might understand me better than you do even though you are the closest one. You can't see, you can't hear and you can't feel anymore because you take everything for granted.

p/s: I am talking nonsense here again!!

-Cafe Cafe-


Cafe cafe is a western cum nyonya cuisine modern cafe in my town. Quite successful the business as they are the first to bring the modernization of cafe to this boring town. The people here started to accept this kind of transformation and willing to spend and dine in a better ambience cafe with some interior design instead of those local coffee shop. The local residents today quite enjoy this kind of leisure lifestyle.

The owners are quite young. Now they are running 3 types of cafes. All of the 3 cafes are in the same row of the building. There are western cum nyonya cuisine - 'Cafe Cafe', Japanese cuisine - 'Zen Japanese Fushion' and a pub lounge called 'the Queen'. All three of them are the favourite hang out spot for both the youngsters and adults especially on weekend. Heard that they are going to expand their cafe business. Hmmm.....~


In front of their row of shops are this old wharf and a central market.



There is a temple beside their building.



We dined in Cafe Cafe but still can ordered the food from Zen Japanese Fushion. And of course, there is always a salmon sashimi for me.




The name for this dish is quite long. I make it short - Tomato and Egg Fried Rice with Cincalok. A very big portion which can be served to 3-4 person.


It was their home made ice-cream - White Macademia. Really love their home made ice-cream but too expensive. Taste good!

-Will yOu bE mY ValEntiNe?-

Hmmm it was my worst Valentine this year! Alright, not that serious but things did not went well. I told him, lucky that it was not our first Valentine or else a huge mark would be deducted on him. A big cross over him X!

We couldn't get any table as it was out of our expectation that businesses could be extremely good on Valentine that day. Everywhere was full. Even those normally no people one also full house. The day after Valentine was a public holiday, that's why lorrrr~ Anyway, we made our Valentine dinner to supper then. We opted for a steambot instead of those candle lit dinner.


A bouquet of roses for me. That's so sweet of him. But my flowers are getting less if compared to the first year. From 11 roses to 3 roses. Okay lar, better than none at all. Although I am not into flowers, but this is one of the 'tradition' that he should not missed. After all, I only received flowers from him once in a year. I even got a cute dress for my Valentine gift. ^.^



Our steambot! Waiting for the vegetable set to come but seems like the waitress was so busy there so we gave up to keep on asking them for our vegetable set. I had no appetite to eat anymore!


Fried 'paku pakis' with garlic. Oh my goodness, it was simply cooked. Not nice at all~!! Sigh. Don't ever go to the restaurant when it was crowded and insufficient staff. It was better to spend more and go for candle lit or buffet dinner on Valentine! Lesson learned.......~

What Did I Do in KL......

Aside from shopping, what else did I do in KL? Yes, I was abusing my stomach by stuffing the food in it~!!! (Yeah, I know...I have been coming back from KL for a month di. It's a late post....)


My mum forced me to drink this disgusting drink. She says it was good for my health and beauty. So the word beauty caught my attention and I felt 'cheated' by my mum. After all, it was still good to health despite its bitterness.











They were all food courts' food in KLCC, Mid Valley and Lot 10. Although they were from food court, but hey, those food courts' food really not bad. At least, they met the standard and taste good as well. Much much much better than my town's food court or any other food courts. AND they are not cheap either!!! I spend a lot on food!

My mum has always wanted to try the buffet in KL as she kept on hearing the good feedback. So after several attempt to persuade my dad, we finally headed to Coffee Terrace at Genting Hotel, Genting Highland for our buffet dinner.


Oh my!! I couldn't hide my contentment to see those fresh salmon sashimi. Yum yum!!!







You know what, I think eating buffet was a waste and it was an act of abusing our own stomach. We had this kind of mindset - to earn what we had paid for. I like buffet because it had varieties but at the same time, buffet makes me felt guilty. So I have learned to be a smart consumer~!!!!

-Lao Sheng-


Dong dong chiang cum 'lao sheng' and a buffet lunch at my office today. They said today is a good date. Being curious, I checked the calendar but to no avail. I don't understand those chinese calendar at all. Whatsoever, anyway!

Lao ar Lao, Lao Sheng!! Bring prosperity! Bring fortune! Bring luck and health!

Traditionally, the lion would pluck the green, 'cai ching' literally means to pluck the auspicious green, normally vegetables like lettuce which in Chinese called 'Cai' that sound like a fortune in Chinese as well and also the red envelope. The lion will moved like a curious cat and acted to eat the green and spit it out leaving it in a nice arrangement but kept the red ang pow. It is believed to bring good luck and fortune to the business so it is a popular culture among the Chinese.

Revealed one small secret of mine - I am scared of those lion dance! I love to see the lion dance but from a distance. Hmmm why? Maybe I am the evil spirit and afraid of the lion when it came near me??? Hahahaha....it's not funny! I am just scared of those mask thingy. I also afraid of the clown although I knew that they are human, a normal human with drawings on their face to entertain the audience. Still, they can't go near me. Otherwise, I will freak out! It goes the same to those Thailand transsexual. Definitely no discrimination and offense here!! I respect their sexuality. It's just my personal problem.

I heard that different lion colors had different meaning. So what does this white and red color lion means, anyway???

-HappY 9th AnniverSarY-


(Pic: Taken in year 2006, if not mistaken....)

Today marked a milestone of my life. Wow, am I sounding exaggerating?? Milestone is more suitable to use when I am over 50 years old. That’ll be a real ‘milestone’ of my life and life achievement. Hmmm forget it. I am just talking to myself again.

Well, it’s our 9th Anniversary! Can you believe it??!! I can’t believe it either. It’s astounding for two strangers with different personalities and family background met and being together for this long period, not to mention the fighting, arguments, quarrelling and chaos in between.

I look at him and alright, those passion and affectionate gaze or whatsoever feeling was gone. Is he feeling the same too? I bet he is. That’s normal for a couple who date so long because it was like a transition from a lover to a family. Of course, there’s something good in him that make me so attached to him for 9 years! Hmmm here is the small list of some things I like him:

• He gets along well with my parents and family and most importantly, he respects them. That is vital because my parents’ approval is my priority.

• He is a “home” guy. He dislikes partying or loud music. Opposite of me. I like loud music and partying in the young age. Now become more ‘emo’ and ‘home’ girl.

• He takes good care of his appearance. I mean not to an extreme but at least, he cares. See, I am a perfectionist and a bit obsessed with personal appearance or cleanliness. I can’t stand those long nose hairs, greasy hairs, body odor, dirty fingers and etc. At least, be clean larrrr...please!

• His patience and good temper. He has a huge patience and a long thermometer to get his patience outburst or anger reaching to the max. He can tolerate and be patience with my bad temper and fussy habit. He seen my weakest but he takes me as I am. At times, I try to push just to see how far he’ll go, but he never turns to go (Except that one time betrayal!!)

• His love to me. Hmmm that’s a long, long time ago when we are just dating in the first few years. His passion and fondness toward me really melted my heart. I felt touched and that’s why I am still being with him for all these years.

• His good personality. He always let me win. He seldom says ‘no’ to me. He is kind, generous and soft-hearted. Sometimes I think his good personality might be bad as well. There is a pro and con. E.g. too generous and kind to a friend is good for the friend but at times, it is not a good thing in my perspective especially if the friend is using him or having an ‘asshole’ friend. He is not happy when I talked bad things about his friend. Is not a bad thing, just a reminder to him to be more careful in trusting a friend. Guys don’t like their girls talking bad thing about their friend, huh. Alright, I got the message and going to zip my lips.

• He doesn’t talk much. I can’t stand the sweet talked guy or over exaggerated a.k.a bullshitting guy.

• His shy and cute smile. That’s very sweet.

• His initiative to adapt to me despite our different personalities and interest. I like movie so he likes movie now as well.

• His dream. He has a lot of dreams and goals in life, for sure. But it is better to have a dream than none. At least he tries to do something to achieve that whatsoever goal of his instead of staying at home and did nothing. Remember, guys should be ambitious and have dreams and take the initiative to achieve it!!! We, girls, don’t care whether you got the degree or have a wealthy family or not. We want guys to work hard, have a stable career and smart enough to be able to feed the whole family. So that we girls can ‘goyang kaki’ there. Lolz, just kidding! Girls nowadays are ambitious and career-minded as well.

Ooppss, I don’t think it is a short list anymore since I wrote so much. There’s still others and etc, a long list but I think I better stopped here in case it makes you yawn. On top of that, I really hope and look forward to lifetime of laughter, tears, hand holding, and adventure with him.

I have a confession to make here. Looked at the anniversary date, it is just a few days before Valentine's Day. Back in year 2002, I am afraid to have a lonely Valentine's Day so I quickly took him as my boyfriend and to get two gifts on anniversary and Valentine's Day. Nahhhh, I am not that 'Kiasu'. Of course also had to wait till he asked me to be his girlfriend first and it happened to be a few days before Valentine's Day. We only get closer when back to town for chinese new year break that year.

Happy 9th Anniversary to me and him!!!! Hope that I will be counting the ‘marriage’ anniversary....sOOn!! (^.^) *Muaksss*

p/s: Now he starts to complain for so many celebrations in a year such as anniversaries, festive, and birthday. He regrets for asking me to be his girlfriend on earlier date and not on the Valentine's Day so that he can celebrates at one time with one gift. Just a private joke from him! =.="

-ThOught of DAy-


There goes the Chinese New Year - which we had been waiting eagerly and busy for the whole month just for those few days. Now everyone is back to their normal routine life and those who study, working or migrate overseas /out of town was leaving the town, making the town getting dull and quiet again. Sibu is like a retired town or should I say more likely a ‘resort town’ where people come back for holidays and relax. It is a slow pace town. No hustle bustle life. No hassle.

I also back to my routine life except that now I am busy like hell. It is really a big sh*t waiting for me. Headache, pressure, stress or whatsoever, you named it. I need to meet the deadline. I need to rush the reports. Why everything packed in such a short period?? I am not a superwoman, you know. I am damn worry. I really thought of leaving my current job as it gives me a huge pressure and stress causing all my pimples popped on my forehead. Damn serious. Why am I making myself suffering there? Yeah, there’s a good reason. Because of the salary and the benefit, of course. I need $$$ for my travel expenses, leisure, food, clothes and paying off my credit card debt. When you earned more, you spend more.

Okay, I should stop whining here. No matter how I whine or complaint, life still goes on. Hmmm another two weeks, he is going to leave for Taiwan again. The next time seeing him will be 4 months later. Oh my goodness, if counting the days, that’s really a long period!!! I already started planning my days without him. What should I do? How should I spend my days in these 4 months? How to live happily and alone again? It’s definitely not an easy task. But I am going to hypnotize myself that everything is fine and I can do it alone. So it’s okay.

-RaBbIt YeAr-


I came across my previous blog, which was hidden for public viewing, and found one entry that I wrote on a new year as well. It was back in year 2009. While reading, I came to realize that actually I am still leading the same lifestyle. Boring life. Not much changes to my life. Did not have any great achievement. Wow! Hmph!

That's why I said not to set a new resolution while the old ones still not achieved yet. BUT expressed your feeling and thought in written words here was not a bad idea after all because after a few years, when you read through your blog was like reading a diary. You'll came to realize a lot of things and what had you done or encountered in the past. Something like a record of your life.

Again, I still have no idea how I have gone through my year 2010 or what did I accomplished in year 2010. Without goals, without destination, without dreams...nothing. I am just leading my normal life as usual; work, eat and sleep. What a waste! Ya, I know. I am wasting my time, my youth...emo-ing here.

Alright, I am thinking.....hmmmmm....still thinking...what should I do next?? That'll be another year gone. I just have a simple wish, that is, to be happy always, stay young and pretty, and travel to the countries as many as I can and also enough money for me to spend so that I wouldn't die of hunger or no clothes to wear. Okay, not a simple wish though. Is many WISHES. But really, honestly, I just hope that everything goes well and in peace. Hoping that tomorrow will be another great/better day~!!!!

-HaPPY ChIneSE NeW YeAr!!!- \(^.^)/

-TestIng wiTh CanOn EOS550D-

Testing out this "everyone-intro-and-so eager to lay their hands on" DSLR, Canon EOS550D. Well, actually I am also interested in it too. So I can't wait to test out and here it goes, some random snapshots taken using Canon 550D.

Location: Office
Model: My items ^.^


See the blur background and the focus of my cactus ~! It was so clear that my cactus is getting yellowish can be seen in the photo. Shit, I should watering the cactus and put it under the sun! Forgot that cactus also need sunshine, love and care.

I have always want to and eager to take this kind of photos. So my conclusion is REGRET!!! Regret for buying GF-1. Alright, I still love my white GF-1 and think that it's pretty nice except the lens. I am totally regret buying zoom lens instead of its pancake lens. Its pancake lens is kinda cool and pretty nice to capture those bokeh effects or whatever effect. So REGRET....!!!


Proudly to say, it was my idea to come out this kind of weird tradition in my office. Now my colleagues even followed my tradition. Two mandarin oranges and one ang pow packet. The rationale behind was prosperity. You are free and most welcome to drop in money in the red packet and remember to eat the mandarin orange for a healthy and happy life in the new year. Weird, huh! Aiiikkk, I just decor it for fun and never did I expected it to be the tradition and followed by my colleagues!! 'Kiasu', you know. Worried that they might not get the luck if they didn't put it. But I am okay with it, it was fun when everyone's trying to do the same thing. It had enlightened the office's environment, anyway.




My cute mug. Alright, not so cute but it accompanied me for 8 hours and take care of my thirst and gave me warm. ^.^


A-ha, here comes my PinKy@LoLLipOp. My cute handphone with my cute wallpaper!! I like echi wallpapers. Think it's pretty nice and cute.


It took so long to upload the photos. The connection was rather slow so I gave up. Not wasting any time on it anymore. Ciao~!
