Getting Along Well

I just noticed that I have not posted up anything for almost a month! How rare is that? Well, I'm back! Will pick up where I left things hanging. Sorry for being all emo in the last post(1 month ago) but I am totally fine now =D So what did you miss out from me? There was 1. a farewell gathering in Shah Alam Extreme Park, 2. night market outing in OUG, 3. more banana leaf outing for lunch, and 4. a mini birthday celebration. (Click the pictures for a clearer view).

Classes nowadays are not too bad considering that everyone knows each other more than the 1st semester. However, I still get terrible nerves when I need to present something in front of the class. Sounds stupid but I seriously need to overcome this real soon! Or maybe I just do not like so many heads looking at me when I'm talking *smacks myself* Look at the pictures we have for this semester so far! =D There's more but whatever, everything is on FB.






What's expected of next week: More mind boggling tests for Finance and Macroecons. Help! Can some one volunteer to do my online Macroecons test for me? lol. An assignment  is due Thurs and a debate, both for OB. To our relieve, its the last week of hassle before our study break starts! Yahoo! 


A study break isnt one if there's no revision done. My goal here is to revise as much as I can and also finish up all remaining assignment. Thing is, Im just so lazy, forever and always.

The part of being..not so me

Howdy readers! Not that I assume that there's anyone reading this after all. Continue reading as the line increases if you want. Sorry if Im being a little blunt. Thats just not the way I usually am. These past few days, I've been minimally connecting to people out there in terms of social networking. Hardly logged into MSN until the wee hours as that would usually be my norm and you could also blame the early nights. Still gotta be the human I am when in classes no? In contrary to that, I've cut all connections from people on Facebook. Seems like the best thing to do because.. just because. It has been 4 days already and I have to admit, it feels weird not going to the Facebook site the 1st thing when I open the web browser. Not having to read what people said, not having the feeling that you're being judged when you post something up, not have to anything at all. Just need some getting use to. It will do me all the good that I need.


Everything is not like a walk in the park anymore. I guess that's how I make things look like for the past few months and also in college. You might be wondering what is my problem now? I do not know. Not the end of the world though. Im just as confused as you are right now. Think of it as the insane person in me who typed all these crap. Should stop ranting on about this. Bet you're somewhat annoyed to even read further. For the record, I didnt forget Christmas. I will be back, one fine day.


I extend my prayers to Japan and many other countries. Devastating.

Little Secrets In Daily Life

1. Hot and spicy to tears, what to do? If you accidentally eat the hot food that makes you shed tears, your first thought will be probably a glass of water. However, hot water is not a solution, it will make it more spicy. In fact, the best solution is to drink hot milk. 

2. Keeping tofu firm Soft tofu in the cooking process is very easy to break into pieces. If you want to maintain the integrity of tofu, you can soak it in salt water for about 30 minutes before cooking. 


3. Soup is too salty Making soup with too much salt, the subtle taste of the soup will be destroyed. If this happens, the remedy is to add cooked potato pieces for few minutes. The potato will absorb the salt. When soup id served, then remove the potatos.

5. How to remove the wax from an apple? If you often eat apples with their skin, then you would need to remove the wax first before eating ....

6. How to slow down potato germination? Potato buds contain toxic alkaloids which can cause abdominal pain and dizziness. Placing an apple in potatoes can significantly delay thier germination time. Ethylene gas produced by apple has hampered the effectiveness of potato development. 
Putting apples together with papayas or kiwi will make them ripe faster. Further, apples can make persimmon astringency disappear but sweeten after a week. 


7. How to make good rice? 
After washing rice in water, add a few drops of lemon juice, (or a few drops of oil), cooked rice will turn out good and fragrant.

If ink gets on your clothing or fabric, you can use cooked rice or paste with a little detergent to remove the stain. Use your fingers to smear repeatly on the spot, stain can be removed quickly. Then soak it into fresh water with ordinary cleaning agent for a period of time before washing. 


10. How to treat smelly shoes? Put a small amount of baking soda directly into the boots, sneakers or shoes, that are obviously smelly due to dampness. Baking soda powder has the effect of absorbing moisture and odor. 


11. Ring around the collar, or spotty under the armpit area of the clothing? 
First brush some shampoo, shaving cream or lotion on the dirty area for five minutes. Then wash off the stain. 


12. How to keep flower fresh?

13. How to sharpen scissors? Stacked three aluminum foil together, then cut them with the scissors to be sharpen. You will see surprising result. 

14. How to remove annoying gummed labels? 
It is quite annoying when comes to remove the price tags on merchandise. To remove the gummed lables neatly, all you need is to use a hair dryer to apply heat on the label before taking them off. 


15. What can you do with beer beside drinking? Most peaple know milk is good in cleaning foliage plants. In fact, use leftover beer to wipe plants is even better! Dip a cotton ball into beer, lightly wipe leaves to remove dust and keep them lustery. Furthermore, this method also prevents ants from coming to the plant. 


15. What to do with unwanted perfumes? 
Before throwing them away, unwanted perfumes could be useful. You can use unwanted perfume to clean indoor light bulbs with cotton balls. When the bulbs light up and warm up, the whole room would be filled with the aroma. 


17. Remove crayon graffiti from wooden furniture. 
If you you kids at home, wooden furniture are subject to crayon graffiti. Crayon stains can not be removed with water. Although the use of paint solvents can do the job, the paint on the surface could be damaged. The most suitable method is to use toothpaste. Not only it cleans, it does no harm to the furniture.

Not Quite Expected

Argh! Lectures starting on 28th(Monday)!! Cant get better than to start it off with Finance 
-.- Sounds boring already. Im not being negative and all but this was already bound to happen since Im only sort of interested in this course. Justs didnt think that it will happen this soon. 2 and a half more years to go =O Oh the horror! The miracle would be if I fall in love with what Im doing =D Will try to make it come true. 

For the past 2 week, it has been great. Seriously. Im going to start things off from the 3rd week of Feb which is the 14th(Monday) until 20th(Sunday). Valentines Day fell on Monday so I went out for a friendly date =) Adeline's bday was on Wednesday. Happy Birthday again psychotic "twin" of mine! Difference is that she's more severe than me. Lol. Thursday- I went for ice skating with Natalie + her friend + JunHan + Thomas. Awesome experience with the double fall! Saturday- Bike riding again in Taman Pertanian with SuPing, Jazz and JunHan. I know I said that I'll never want to go back there until next year but, I miss the fun of being tired from paddling and going downhills. Haha. 

As for this week, 21st(Monday) to 25th(Friday) I've been out on all days. Thats rare I know. This week was dedicated mostly to family since Mum and I went out with her cousin for food from Monday to Wednesday which includes fish head noodles Puchong and banana leaf rice in Klang. On Thursday Mum and I went back to Klang to have lunch with my aunt and grandma. Afters we brought aunt home with us. In the afternoon, I went out for a movie(The Rite) with Jazz. It was scary while watching but luckily it didnt give me any hard impact after that. Aunt left for Singapore this morning with another aunt and uncle. I sent them at 6am to Damansara. But before that we ate dim sum in the only shop that was opened in Uptown. I who am not a breakfast kind of person felt weird to be eating. By the time we reached the bus stand, it was only 7am. Went home straight and the rest of the day was also productive. Went to McD for a farewell meet up with a Uni friend (had another breakfast set). Have a wonderful time studying abroad dude! I didnt eat anymore afters until dinner. Im exhausted, really. 


Due to the state that Im in now (*falling asleep anytime) my organization of everything in this post has been affected. Even the sentence structure or the grammar. All's upside down.  
But my job's done here. BuhBye =)

Chinese New Year

2nd Feb: New Years eve! Had dinner in a restaurant in Klang called Dragon Dynasty? Ok anything with the name. 10 course meal for 3 tables (family has definitely expanded). The whole time I was so sleepy!  Thanks to the many glasses of Irish Cream which later on caused me to knock over a full bottle of wine with my chair thus breaking it. What a mess. So the night goes on with performances which I do not pay much attention to. 


The rest of CNY was okay. 1st day had banana leaf rice for dinner =D 2nd day of CNY my family including aunts, uncle, cousin and grandma went to I-City to see some performances. The rain had to make things slow but luckily it stopped soon afters. Took pictures and the best part was going to the arcade with Dad. Something we never do at all. Bought some paper tokens and tried out throwing balls into the tilted bucket. Not as easy as it looks! The ball bounces out =( Next one was throwing little hoops to the bottles. Same thing. If at least one lands on the bottle, I could have gotten the big lady bug! =) But I didnt. 



On our way out from I-City, can see heavy traffic jam! So many people still wanting to get to this "lighting attraction site". Ate at mamak back in Shah Alam after the whole visit. Our latest dinner ever which was 10pm! *More pictures will be uploaded if cousin sends the pics*


CNY of course there were open houses. I was only invited to one, Win Shi's. However I had four in my house itself. Saturday night (5th) for dad's family, Tuesday (8th) lunch for my friends and dinner for a few neighbors and Saturday night (12th) for mum's family. 



Today's the last day of CNY. No more red packets to collect! But never mind that, I've collected over RM600 already. It does my bank a whole lot of good. =D 


P/S: Im so lazy to blog especially for this post. Do not mind my grammar or what so ever please.

Bukit Cahaya and Unrelated Stuffs

Wednesday was certainly a day to remember so far! While other days hasnt been that bad, yet Wednesday! I love days full  of adventure. It was to celebrate Jeremy's bday which was today in a different way. Happy Birthday again! Hehe. Met up with him, Thomas, Lourene, Jun Han and Beh in SS15 for lunch at Street Cafe. As an appetizer, we had the 'cake' in the cup which Jun Han and I baked a day before in my house. Yeah some sort of a bday cake =)

After lunch, all of us except for Beh went to Bukit Cahaya, Shah Alam to explore the place by cycling. Too bad he and Adeline missed out on this =/ Entrance fee was RM3 each and bicycle rental was RM5 each. The  cycling route seemed long, winding and endless. Not to mention it was definitely a challenge cycling uphill and a breeze going downhill. All along the way was just trees..we're in the middle of the forest until we came to the orchards which had many fruit plantations. By the way, the group was split up so many times as some was fast and some left behind. Haha!

After cycling along the route, it turned out to be a dead end! Had to go back from where we came from and that was it for us. Dead tiring and really thirsty and of all days the sun decided to shine its best. For the past few days it has been gloomy yet not raining no? As for the thirsty part, even a puddle of water or a stream looked inviting to us. Completed 6km altogether back and fourth =D Hey Azim! If you're reading, I think you wont want to explore this place when you're back from Canada. Not your cup of tea. Lol.


All of us! <3

Here is the b'day boy.


So, today I did something different at home. From hanging new year lanterns (for the 1st time ever for CNY) to washing the kitchen floor with mum and our house keeper. Literally moved everything to the dry kitchen and sprayed water on the floor and walls. Soap was all over the floor and I had my own soapy water slide! weeeee! Slid on my knees from one end to the other and lucky I stopped just in time before I could bang the wall. Lol. 


There's this black cat behind my house who's always waiting for food since we always give it to him. Today I gave a part of my share of the fried chicken drummet. *Sry for giving while its still hot!* =/ The cat totally couldnt eat it and played with it like the chicken was somekind of toy. It looked alien to it too. Ended up, another cat took ate it and I had to give a cooler piece. I was trying hard to defend the chicken for the black cat yet, it did nothing to defend itself -.- A tale of a scary cat indeed. Thats all for now. Will post another as soon as there's something interesting!
