Nutty Me

I am a person who loves all types of nuts.Almonds,macadamia,walnut,peanut,brazil nut,beans and seeds.So my friend actually saying that I'm a NUT.hahahha,...I think I am...

I had a big big bowl of peanut soup today! I also shared it with 2 of my colleagues then i gave them pumpkin cakes that i baked and they started to complaint that too many foods to eat today but they still enjoyed it..Then this colleague of mine started to ask for the recipe and she also asked me to bake it for sale..hahahah....crazy??

I'm really tired today and also no appetite to indulge my pumpkin cake today..Maybe its because of the weather and also that i'm too sleepy.Really sleepy...I'm cravings for sourish foods and icy drinks and also feel like eating ABC.

I'm really out of words today.....my brain cant operates well today. Will write more next time...

Earth Day(22.4.2009)

It's Earth Day today!! So, what's the reason for having such a DAY? This year is the 4th anniversary of Earth Day and it is actually started at USA. Earth Day is actually for us to remember our mother earth and the conditions of the earth now. Then, we can start to discuss about the things that we should do and don't do to our earth.Global warming is alarming. So, we really need to do something to slower the process.

I'm so excited as i feel Earth Day is a big day for me! as i'm a naturalist.So,what did i do to support this day?In conjuction with this theme:

1) I wore green like a greenish tree!!(hahahah)
2) I used my trendy shopping bag instead of PLASTIC bag(SAY NO TO PLASTIC)
3) have vegetarian meals (NO MEATS AT ALL)
4)suffocated myself in the office without on the air-cond. (so i sweat alot today)so smelly!!!!
5)Told the children that it is Earth Day

So, what did you do?

A Day As Runway Model

So, have you ever wonder what models do?A lot of people perceive that model earns easy money and it is such a glamour works. Its not!!!Definitely not!!!!I just did a show for my friend.So,lets me correct the mindset of the normal people by telling you my 1 day schedule.

I kicked start my dy with a yoga session and some cardio workouts. Then had steambath to loosen up my muscles. I dare not to do too much of workouts as i need to wear high heel on the stage. That's really torturing!!! Then i travelled to the Production office.We need to reach there at 1pm sharp. There, models,designers,crew having lunch.So,what's for lunch? There were Fried meehoon, nuggets,sausages,and mineral waters. Next, we did the fitting.Till then, i knew that i was in Alien Theme!!!The make up was really ALIEN!!!!and also the hairstyle!!!However, it is really something new and shocking for me! After the fitting, We need to sit there for about 2 hours for the make up!!!!!!Still think that model earns easy money??? Then 45 minutes for Hair!!!

What a relief for me once th mke up was done!!!But then, touched up is needed time to time. Then, 6 of us who were in the alien theme and also the designer also by the name of Alien lead us to the fashion show venue. Tell u what!!!Everyone looked as us as we were from outer space!!!!!hahahahhahha.....What a new experience for me!!!kinda adventurous!!When we reached backstage at about 6pm, we had our dinner. Fried meehoon again!!!It really taste nice as we don't really have time to eat much the whole day. I lost 1 kg after the DAY!!!!!!!!!Then, we need to pose to be photographed.What else???wore the full costume of E.T. I was wrapped with a wire basket. Then my hand were all scratched by this wire!!

At 7.45pm, the show started and we were the 1st group to go out. After our round, we needed to wait for a nother 2 groups of 12 models to come back and we went out again for a grand finale. Then, you thought we can go back??No, we need to wait to be photographed again.

After that only we were allowed to change and wipe off the alien make-up.Then, i went back with half alien look.hahahhahah,,,hopefully i didn't scare anyone while i was driving back.We ended at bout 9.30pm.

Finally, i still feel interesting to have such experiences in my life which is we would never have a chance to disguised as ALIEN in real life but in fashion world yes!!!!!Besides, there are also chances to meet different people.Though, i was really tired and i neven been that tired for so long.....Be a model, is really not an easy job. It needs alot of pssion and patience in it. Especially for the make-up and hair do and also wearing the high heels to wait for the shows to start.Right?

My Ji Mui is in Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love is on the air. In another hand of DISSAPOINTMENT, i got a good news from my ji mui. You will be surprised that my ji mui is a guy!!!hahahha..He is my only best ever friend. He told me that he is in love with a girl who he has known for just 1 week. Then he is so excited describing the feelings that linger around to me. However, he said i would never understand what is love!!!hahahha What is he talking about???? He is the one who doesn't know what's the meaning of love!! For me, Love is an essence in human.

Love is not only meant for couple. Love is worldwide.For me, Love is like a seed. We must spread it and cover all the ugliness in the world.I still believe that love and care are the only medicine for the ugliness and darkness in the world. Just like my idol. Mother Theresa. With her home in India and the way she spread her love. I really salute that and I really hope that i can follow her footsteps. It may be hard but i will try.I would like to live in a perfect world.

Ugly Faces of Human

"You are amicable!"People said to me. Shall this word well describe me? I guess not! I am artristic and chasing for perfections in life. Another word to describe myself will be NAIVE!!! I refuse to accept that there are no more truthfullness,sincerity,and kind hearted,genuine people around. I always believe there are still these kinda people around and i may meet them.

I'm really dissapointed and sad to find out the truth that WE Humans are really scary creatures!! Humans are full of fake faces. Humans can be the slave of MONEY. Due to money,Human act like animals. We, HUMAN create Money and why should human be their slave? why?why ?why?? Humans are full of intentions and looking for benefits and advantages from the people around them. Sigh. Should i feel hopeless??I really don't want to be so sceptical!!i really hope to live in a peaceful,free of worries and need to be analytical towards every people around!!!What can i do??

Manic Monday

I'm so tired and demotivated to work on Monday!!hahahha....So i motivated myself by bought something for myself!But then i'm still tired.*sigh*

It was raining heavily again!!!and i failed to get my kuaci again!! why??why??why?? However i got to buy my Favourite Acar.Yummy yummy!!!

I got some news that we can't keep any pirated cs in our car as we will be fined if our car is being checked during the roadblocks. So, for those who has them.Please immediately remove them!!!Guess this will really improve the earnings of the singer huh?? As for me, i don't have habit to buy cds except those classical music cds.Seriously, i never support any concert too. However. i did watch concerts before.I'm still a person who appreciate music very much though i don't watch concert that much!!As a bright consumer, we must spend wisely.So we must be selective isn't it?

Viviene, you would like to try the recipe yesterday? Guess what? i added in more mushrooms and beancurd into the broth to boil it again!! the broth will become nicer and nicer. The smell is attracting my appetite now..hahahah...i always talk about foods only!! i'm such a glutton huh??

What a quiet Good Friday and No holiday for Easter

I'm home watching tv and drinking Tropicana orange juice. Then prepare sea coconuts,longans with honey combs. I love it to be served chilled. Waiting for time to sleep now. Easter falls on 12th April 2009 this year. Do you have any ideas for Easter??

t's really not a trend for us in Malaysia to celebrate Easter here. Do we really know the meaning of Easter? We relate Easter with the Easter Eggs and i guess thats the most interesting part for the kids. Easter is the annual festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the principal feast of the Christian year. It is celebrated on a Sunday on varying dates between March 22 and April 25 and is therefore called a movable feast. Easter is a Christian day,so its not so common for us to celebrate it here.However, there are some minor communities are celebrating it especially in mont kiara and Hatamas area. Mostly because of the high numbers of expatriates in that area. I wiould like to share the moods of easter too.

So, What are the interesting activities during the weekends? I actually plan to join a quater marathon during this weekend. The Orange Run is a 12km run. I would really wanna try but i'm so worried that i might collapse..as i don't think i have enough of training yet. Maybe i should do more preparation before i participate as i would really want to get the certificate of the completion of the run.I will work harder.....

A Hokkien Child


My friend's youngest child, ZZ boy is here in KL recently. He has changed alot. He is just 2.5 years old. He is so talkative. I felt so funny by his hokkien accent! I spent these few days with this boy and he is creating a chance for me to learn some hokkien from him. I'm A HOKKIEN without knowing how to converse in Hokkien.

When he passed the alley of the staircase at my daycare center, he saw a poster with a few caucasian children in it. So, he asked his mum who were that? then his mum answered: They are children. Then he replied: ANG MO POH LA!!!(Caucasian girls) I was laughing till i drop...The way he said that was really amusing.

He knows to name the cars on the road.He is so cool when he doesn't speak and smile. However, he is really cute and smart.I really love the kids who are at this age. I love their mini tenderly hands. Pregnancy is hard, Giving birth is harder and RAISING them is the hardest!!! Well, play with them is really fun and i know that it's not gonna to be fun to take care of them..hahahha.....

Mango Season

There are alot of mangoes as it's mango season now. There are Elephant tusks, waterlily,blackgold and etc. My FAVOURITE is elephant tusks mango.I am just too crazy of mangoes now...Just can't stop buying elephant tusk mangoes. I easily eat 3-4 mangoes a day!!! Thats insane!!But i just don't care as this is the only chance for me to indulge in mangoes to the fullest. Well, the mangoes are pretty cheap now as the supply are in great number. It costs bout 3.90 per kg. You may even get 3kgs for RM10.Elephant tusk are not too sweet but i just love the aroma. Black gold is orange in flesh and can be very very sweet when it ripes well. Waterlily must be riped well before eating or else it wll be very very sour.

The mango that i hate is Rainbow Mango. Thee mangoes aroma is strong..u can smell it even from far. I just don't like it as I feel the aroma is not natural at all!!! As you guys know.I'm a naturalist.hahahha...

Besides mango, my favourite fruit is persimmon, AGAIN!!! yelowish fruits.I'm becoming a yellowish human soon!!!hahha... The season of persimmon is during the year end. Now, it's no more the season. So the fruits sold for quite high price. They are sold RM10 for 4 PIECES.
