the weekend after exams

at first after the last paper..it seemed wierd cos i don't feel anything, its like just normal..no feeling of happiness and relieve. not yet maybe..VIVA results will be out in a couple hours time and i have termination insomnia >.<

and exam results will be out..this FRIDAY. so so fast. gives me the chills just thinking of it

well, besides that its also kind of sad cos everyone is leaving already, my closest friends since SAM taylors (except you la, jane..and david also!) and also all the friends I've made for the past 2 and a half years in IMU. getting nostalgic already...

anyway...back to the title of my post.its more like the days after the exam...

after the last paper (OSCE) jane bill and i went out for lunch in sri petaling....to have lunch and just to chat. we spent almost 3 hours there!! time just seem to fly.

then back to IMU to help prepare for our farewell party..didn't bring a camera :( besides i look awful after all the weeks spent studying..panda eyes and all the pimples :( ah, well.

friday was just a day to laze around and update my bloggie and to clean my room/my mum's room. and also to get a HAIRCUT i've been meaning to get for so long.

spent half the saturday in seremban looking around for a house but since my other 3 housemates were not there, we couldn't make a decision yet! and in the evening/night..we had a "sort-of surprise" 20th be-early birthday celebration for david at itallianes at the curve. it was nice..with good food and great company :)

a photo with the birthday boy...i want all the other photos too, please!! :)

yep, thats me in my new haircut. feels so different not having to wash a thick bundle of hair everyday and waiting for it to dry for hours. besides the ends were getting all dry and rough and spoilt :(

sunday..i finally got a proper date with James..for like what...ages..

it was a very "complete" day. breakfast (more like brunch a Pappa rich in pyramid, food review later) a 11.30 am movie (the hulk) back to my house and then to his place...and we went jogging together for the first time! haha. more like talking/strolling/resting (50%) and walking (35%) and jogging (15%) and i made it one round around the lake. jog all the way. muahah so proud. except the lake was rather small! LOL.its a start!

have made lots of plans for the rest of my holidays and i hope everything goes well. i hope everyone will pass EOS5 with flying colours. keeping fingers (and toes) crossed and hoping for the best.

1 stop cafe, jalan ipoh, KL

after this cafe was featured in a show "one day 5 meal" (direct translation!) on astro we decided to give it a try one lazy sunday afternoon. i was dragged along, half reluctantly cos i was busy mugging for exams. but anyway it was nice to get out of the house and try some good food. hehe :p

so we went all the way to jalan ipoh!
click here for more details!

1 Stop Cafe
(is open daily from 11am to 11pm. )
No 2 , Jalan Balam,
Batu 3 Jalan Ipoh,
51100 Kuala Lumpur.
Tel: 03-40426880.

simple deco. there are two section, one open air and another with air cond. when we reached, there, there were soooo many people. it was so packed and we had to wait awhile to get a seat :(

probably cos there was a church nearby and they just finished..so bad timing

and another thing was..cos it was so late (2pm) so alot of stuff that we were planning to try was sold out!!! argh!! all the way and we couldn't try it!

anyway....we just ordered what ever that was left...

their menu is quite extensive and most stuff were reasonably priced. from rice with meat (pork/chicken/fish) priced at 5.90 to 8.90..to 10 types of noodles...

but what we were planning to eat was just many light snacks..so we can try many! haha

this is one of their specialty! pumpkin pie (rm3.00) deep fried crisp crust shaped like a cute mini pumpkin. its filled with soft pumpkin (what else??) not bad, very interesting..
the radish cake (rm1.50) this is very good. not too starchy and the chili was so good!!
an assortment of nyonya kuih (rm0.80 each) not bad but very ordinary
this is something special :) very creative and a nice combination!
chicken, cheese and ham in "char siew" sauce wrapped in a tortila. good for a quick snack and good for sharing also

sunset boulevard drink (rm 4.90) a mixture of orange juice, ginger and soda. very weird mixture but somehow it seem to be OK. well, except the ginger taste was abit too overpowering (reminder: i hate ginger!!)
coffee (rm1.50) quite good according to parents. lol

and last but not least. the chicken lobak served with chili. two rolls for rm5.80. meaty and yummy and full of flavour.

overall, the food was good and very affordable. the only drawback was that we didn't get to try the stuff we wanted like snowman brownie and sandwich roll and some other stuff. nevermind, there will be another time!

say hello to ah-woo woo

say hello to the newest member of the family
a little bundle of fluff
cos we could not think of a suitable name...he ended up with a rather weird name. ah-woo-woo. after the sound he makes. whiny barky sound. haha.

its a long story actually.
my cousin's neighbour moved away leaving two dogs, a large one and the little one (ah woo)
and they came back to take the large one but left the little one. so poor thing right...
so the little one was wondering around, hungry and homeless :(
so my cousin took it and kept it for awhile. and since she had a female doggie already and too many dogs, she didn't want to keep it.

so my mummy who has alot of time on her hands, brought this bundle of fluff home. at first he was rather passive, probably because he was traumatised...

but after a couple of days later, he made himself right at home.and he has this "hyper" mood where he would jump and bark and bite ppl's hand (but not painful-la) so so cute

and he is quite obedient too. most of the time. except the time he was howling and barking at 6am, forcing me awake when i was supposed to wake up at 7am. it was the first day of exams some-more! issssshh. i ended up waking up and watching CSI with my sister cos i couldn't study anyway.

other than that, he is really cute, lovable, manja and now i take walks with him after dinner everyday (almost) my only form of exercise! haha. ok, i'm planning to go exercise! definitely gotten lazy (physically) and fat studying.

for some ppl... exam=stress=poor appetite=eat less=lose weight..

but for me (unfortunately) exam=stress=increase appetite=eat more(esp comfort food)= GAIN WEIGHT arghhhh!!

shoe obsession!

I went to this fantastic LEWRE warehouse sale, right in the middle of exam preparation.
feel so guilty but just couldn't help it.
and i skipped a health issues lecture to come here. shhhhhh

so, here is my loot! i went on the first and last day! got alot of fantastic buys. so so happy! retail therapy does wonders to me. the only downside is that i'm now officially banned from buying shoes :(

and don't tell me its just so many shoes. cos i'm also sharing with my sis

and don't get jealous! muahahah

ballet flats. in turquoise. haven't worn them before. not yet anyway

ahh. a very unique pair. reminds me of the kilt i have. but its a bit uncomfortable. ok. very. it gave a blister on my heel. have to do something about it! i really like this pair of shoes!
similar but different pattern.
dainty orange shoes. so delicate and all. goes perfectly with my orange dress!
my sister's pink bling bling shoes. too bad i can't fit. cos its a bit small. very weird, we can only share certain pairs of shoes. must be the cutting. my feet is slightly bigger than hers.
simple but gorgeous purple and gold heels. perfect height. not too high but high enough.
pink beaded slippers! love this!! ^_^
and my absolute favourite and the best buy ever! gorgeous colour, beautiful crystals.just perfect. *dreamy eyes* can't wait to wear it!!! love their signature three crystals on the sole. i'm just nuts for crystal and shine stuff. lol and this was not from the sale. my very first pair of lewre shoes.i just love shoes!!! :)

Emily's 21ST birthday

day: 25th june 2008
venue: Itallianes, sunway pyramid new wing
time:7.30pm
event: EMILY'S 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!

i got an invitation to emily's birthday party, which was 5 days before the BIG DAY (eos5!!)
but since it was after all her 21st and the last time i'm gonna see her for over six months, i figured a couple of hours won't hurt. i studied more the days before her bday to compensate :)

since she had a"dress code" of either pink/white, i decided to wear my favourite white dress ^_^

and i was among the first few. ahem. who were on time! LOL

the cute yummy "looks too good to be eaten" cake. sooo beautiful!
my high school friends. levond, me, bell, suefei and amrita
a group photo for the "pink" group with the pretty birthday girl!! love the tiara!
and the "white" group
birthday girl making a wish!!!

and a chance to write a food review! hahah

appetizer. stuffed mushroom. My absolute favourite of the day! haha
juicy button mushrooms stuffed with meat and there is this yummy cheese sauce all over the plate. absolutely delicious!

the pizza. topped with tomatoes and yummy gooey cheese
ceaser salad. a good way to make me eat my vege. with a generous sprinkling of cheese, lots of crunchy croutons. yummy!!
the classic creamy carbonara. sinfully rich and delicious!
the angel hair pasta. tomato based sauce, very good as well ^_^

Thanks emily (i know you read my blog!) for the lovely invite to your 21st. I'm glad i could celebrate your special day with you!

EXAMS ARE OVER!

Finally exams are over. but no "complete freedom" yet until results are out next friday.
keeping my fingers crossed. I hope everyone will pass with flying colours so we can move on with our Phase 2 in seremban/PMS.
no VIVA, no RESIT.

OK, now its time to revive my dead blog :)
post to be up soon,,
1. Emily's 21st birthday
2. My new shoes from a LEWRE warehouse sale. warning! this post is Super SS
3. Food reviews from LEO'S, 1 STOP CAFE, and the famous SS2 MURNI which i have been promising for so long!

woke up super early today eventhough i didn't set alarm. its like i'm tune to it already. even if i intented to sleep longer to compensate for lost sleep accumulated over the weeks.

after a gruelling 6 weeks (maybe more for some..) of mugging and being sleep deprived...
its time to ENJOY! wheee!! :)

i'm going to update my bloggie now!

did you know???

tomorrow is FRIDAY THE 13TH.

I'm not so much a superstitious person, but just like to point it out =p
plus the fact that there is an exam tomorrow-health issues-
blurghhh~~
I only started serious reading of the notes yesterday, cos was too caught up with EOS 5 preparation (which we have about 2 weeks left. 2 WEEKS. omg, where did all the time go to!!!)
I just hope to pass health issues, but of course getting A is much better!

so...to all my dear readers, i won't be posting anything much (if i do, it will just be a mush of ramblings and complains) until my exams are over!(4th july)
