Backdated Post V - Actual event took place on 21/11/08

In the midst of studying for my exam papers…

There lies a wedding invitation card on my Microbiology textbook waiting to be opened… This is my 1st own invitation. Was thinking whether should I go or not - as exam is still on…

Front page of the card…

After looking into the content.. I’ve come to a decision - go for it!

That’s my only night which I went out for more than 2 hours during this whole month…

The time now, 0317…

2. Whisk till light and fluffy with high speed for 6 minutes.

4. Pour mixtures into a 9″ lined round mould. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degree celcius for 30-40 minutes.

5. Cut the cake into half (horizontally). Spread out white cream and blueberry jam (could be anything else according to preference)

6. Put on the other half back.

Decoration time! This is all depends on one’s creativity. Please do not do as mine - as mine is so-not-nice.

Cover the whole cake with white cream - smoothly. Mine is so-not-smooth…

Cherries were put on!

Almond slices on the side, and writings were on it…

Ta-Da!  My slightly defected finished cake - but tasted really good eh.. :p

Caution! Decoration must be finished before the white cream melt away!!

Hey, I’m a beginner. This is all I can do. Happy Birthday mum! This is my first ever baking a cake.  This is to show you a bit of my sincerity.. =)

Special thanks to aunt - for teaching sister and I on how to bake, using your oven, and even making the surprise to perfection for keeping the cake safe from her… ^^ Mummy had a great night complimenting how good the cake tasted and how nice it looked - see? a mum’s love is so great! She said the cake looks nice.. Oh My God..

Backdated Post III - Actual event took place on 26/10/08

It’s an amazing thing that this friend asked me out, as included this time - it’s only our 2nd time meeting. I first met him last year and that’s before he went off to Singapore. He came back for the weekend and I was in his friends-meeting-list. Honored, isn’t it? =)

2nd amazing thing would be his photographic memory. He could remember the way to my house as he only came before once. That’s when I thought maybe my house is an easy target. Then, shock came when he also remembered the way to my grandma’s house and could recognize which house… And people, the 1st time he came to these 2 places, it was already dark at night! For a person who have no sense of directions at all - yup, that’s me, I really envy him for having this ability. =(

Thanks to Mr Khoo for the treat - Haagen Dazs chocolate fondue!

Now I know his favourite food is chocolatezzz.. which will make me fat, but he won’t… That makes me feel God’s so unfair. Oh, and he promised me a Haagen Dazs birthday cake for me next year. I’ll remember that, so do you. Hahaha…

Oh-so-adorable-teddy!

My latest birthday gift of the year which came all the way from SIngapore. Late does not matter, what matters most is the sincerity. Sincerity is 101% as he did a charity for me on my birthday…

A sticker-proof of charity bazaar.

So, someone did a charity on behalf of me on my 21st birthday… No wonder my birthday wish came true.. ^^

At last, before I’m of his car, he spilled the beans… He did not really own photographic memory. He did his homework the night before coming to my house. He tried out the way to my house, but didn’t dare to call me as he said it was late at night. Awww… so sweet of him! See, I said sincerity is the most important element. He truly made my day. =)

Backdated Post II - Actual event took place on 25/10/08

After about two years of not going for a dental check-up, I guess it’s time to pay my dentist a visit… Sister and I already made an appointment, but when we reached we still had to wait for some time. Both of us only spent 20 minutes in the dental clinic - reason is we have very healthy teeth. Scaling is all we need to do… =)

Our most trustworthy dentist - Dr Khoo. We’ve been his patients for more than a decade…

While, at the night.. The adults were all invited to a wedding dinner, and us the cousins rule in the family again. We went out to Puchong for shabu-shabu. A famous dine-in in the town now it seems. At 7pm, the place were so full of people. I was so shocked to see the crowd… It’s like the best food in the world that the people are waiting. Indeed, it was not bad - but we were too full to try out all the stuff on the conveyor belt (those we see in japanese restaurants). What I like about that place is all of us have our own individual pot to boil our own stuff, we won’t need to share a common pot… That’s more hygienic and convenient. It’s not like I mind about sharing though.. :p

Since we have quite a number of us tonight, we decided not to end our night too early, and so we went to a cousin’s place and leisurely started our “killer” game. Little did we realize, we were hooked up with the game and all were reluctant to leave as the climax builds up. Last game took place at 1am++ At last reaching home by 2am.. Tired eh!

Backdated Post I - Actual event took place on 24/10/08

It’s dear’s early birthday celebration (actual birthday on 1/11) from Caryn, Bin and I. We’ve thought to perfection but things turned out so-so only. But, the most important is that dear enjoyed the day. =)

Whenever 4 of us are together. we’ll go wild laughing at everything, and taking photos like mad.  We were to plan a surprise for her, so we asked to meet up at 3pm. Caryn and I went all the way to Bangsar looking for a gift, candles, and cup cakes… Things didn’t out fine as we were hindered by traffic jam, glittering candles that cannot be burned, cupcake shop which is located at an unknown place, and we walked all the way to North Point to make for a reservation for 4 at Ninja Jones.

Despite all, we did enjoyed the process - although we complained. We started the day with dear with a movie - High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

Teenage movie with lots of dancing and singing - makes me miss high school more than ever…

I have no idea how this arrangement comes by…

Whole table full of food!!

Itadakimasu!

Birthday girl with her cupcakes…

Celebration ended just like this… My dear, may you enjoy everyday no matter it’s up or down.

The time now, 1657…

Min Nah is back after a month of examinations!! I don’t know if I did okay, but I certainly hope I could pas all subjects. Things are different from the past, where I no longer aim for a distinction, but only for a mere pass… It’s soo pathetic, isn’t it? Anyway, over is over….

I’ve got so many backdated posts to update later on!

The time now, 1437…

17/10 - It seems our outing for this month have reached a maximum level. 3rd time in 2 weeks… will it be too many? Don’t think so… =)

This time, Yin cannot join us for movie… because she’s watching it with other friends.. (Caryn, Bin and I are so bu shuang.. =p) But she did joined us for lunch… Go-gung in The Gardens. Food are not bad, services are good. We spent a fortune for this lunch. Guess how much a green tea cost… RM8! Come to my house.. I’ll boil you green tea - FOC! Haha.. But, trying this once in a while won’t hurt I guess…

Then, we chatted for the whole lot of time and again rushing to the movie. This always happen to us. We were never punctual to movie. And I wonder why… We know exactly why we are late all the time, but never make the effort to change this bad habit of ours… For the first few times, we missed the advertisements (we don’t mind at all), then we started to miss the previews, then now we even missed the beginning of our show… Very serious problem we are facing… Sigh…

Caryn and Wen Bin to busy to notice us taking photo…

Butterfly Lovers

Everyone knows this is a very touching and sad love story, but I didn’t know why this movie turns out to be a big disappointment. The whole storyline seems weird and abrupt. The pace is too slow and draggy plus the ending didn’t make us felt sad instead we were laughing in the cinema… I thought it was only 3 of us laughing.. but the fact is the whole cinema is laughing… Ironically, the ending is a sad one. Not recommendable if you ask my opinion… As broke as we were, we wasted RM8 for this. But Wen Bin said something nice bout it - we can release stress by watching this move… aikss..

Another outing contributes to my empty purse… =(

The time now, 2328…

This is again a backdated post. I’ve told myself to post my entry more frequent, but I failed to do so. A typical procrastinator I am…

After a lot of arrangements and changes, we at last came to a common time where we all could come out - Sat, 11/10. But too bad, yin again couldn’t make it. Earlier, I’ve heard from Caryn that Wen Bin might not be in a good mood due to some reasons only known to ourselves; and indeed when I saw her, she doesn’t look good. After a long story from her, I am so afraid that she’ll break down in tears… To be honest, after all the years I’ve known her - this is my first time seeing her like this. And I’ve always thought she’s tough… Caryn and I consoled her, took her for a nice lunch, gave her a belated birthday present, watched movie together… lastly went for a nice dessert + shopping. After all these, her mood turns better… ^^

Her all-time favourite Cherry Blossom fragrance from Loccitane as belated birthday present…

A nice lunch is enough to fill up our stomachs…

A movie which is nice enough to keep us from yawning and the toilet of course..

A dessert is always a girl’s loyal companion…

Awaiting for our next meet-up… although we are all broke I know..

The time now, 2302…

When I was in the middle of a dream, when I was about to know the next event… My phone rang.. and it displayed a foreign number. It seems to be a number out of the country. I answered drowsily and heard a very familiar voice. ‘This familiar voice brought me awake. It has been sometime since I heard her voice, and I missed it terribly. She seems to know my troubles every now and then, and when I thought I’m at the saddest moment, she will appear from nowhere. No matter it is a call, or a simple greeting, she always made me felt peace.

Thanks my dear for calling, I had great time chatting with her (although it’s only a mere 20 minutes.. ) Damn myself for not charging my phone, and the line being cut off.. *cursing* I didn’t know if she knew it earlier or not, but my mood for the previous few days was not that good. And her faraway call definitely puts my heart at ease. Every single time I talked to her, it seems memories from 2 years back came rushing back to me like they had just happened yesterday. She has accompanied me during my worst times. And these memories gave me the strength to continue on whatever I don’t feel like doing now. Everytime remembering the past, I’ll tell myself “the worst has happened, what could be more worse than that? ”

Cindy Ooi! I can’t wait to see you again. I’m awaiting for our big reunion.

Warm moments spent with you.. =)

I wish we could take more photos like this…

The time now, 2030…
