I know I totally suck in keeping promises. I have not updated since July. =P

World Stage has already come and gone. In the end I won tickets! On the very last hour to win any tickets at all! Super lucky. I got to see Wonder Girls live.
+ Katy Perry
+ Tokio Hotel

Sorry Bunkface, the queue outside was sooooooo long that by the time we got in, you've already finished singing and Wonder Girls came on stage liao.

Aside from the fact that the wait between each act was super long (I know I can't complaint though... free concert lol), it was really worth the wait!

Okay, what else... Missed ex-gratia payment at work. DAMN! Better luck next 50 years? >_>

Oh right, the exam... I failed. I wouldn't say miserably but I was so close to passing that it feels horrible. Screw my shooting skills! Waiting for the re-sit in October.

Paramore, Adam Lambert? I would've considered Adam Lambert's concert, which I bet will be very good since he's really theatrical, but I wanna go watch Kings and Queens of Comedy Asia instead. I'm now looking for victims to come with me. Hoho.

Douglas Lim + Harith Iskandar wor. I love Malaysian comedy because we can relate to it so easily... And 3 more comedians from overseas (Singapore, India and Vietnam?) which I bet would be a FUNFUN night!

Oh, how can I forget! I'm legal now! 21 at last. I miss being 20 already. Besides the fact that I think I still can pass as a secondary school student. Thanks to the people who celebrated with me! I knew I ate a lot!

On a more serious note, about work. I'm still deciding.

Everyday passes so quickly.

Monday 29 March
Medical check up. Wait another 1-2 weeks for offer. Please don't torture me like that! Lunch at Fullhouse in Yap Kwan Seng. I am disappointed at the fact that it is no longer pure white thanks to the wear and tear. =(

Tuesday 30 March
Qing Ming. Went to Nilai to 'visit' Granpa and then off to Cheras to pray for Great Grandparents. I wonder if they had already reincarnate since it's been so long!

Tantan's birthday! Hahaha. Too bad we didn't get to meet up for YC as it was too late after dinner. Great job Brenddie on the photo edits! I pinjam one photo for this entry ya...

While I'm still jobless and pretty free, I'll present to you the things I did in between job interviews.

1) Make chicken pie using Manda's recipe


... mostly mum did the work. Anyway... although it's a bit lacking in many areas, nothing beats homemade food, and this certainly didn't disappoint. Will definitely improve next time.

2) Multiplayer on Wii

Thanks to Manda, Marcus and Michele. I just realized they all start with the letter 'M'. Nice.


3) Make stupid stuff with leftover bread

Garlic toast! In shapes of cats and bears using cookie cutters.


4) Taking pictures of Lady


I simply cannot resist. I'll do a nice compilation post when I have enough! =D

... I hoped you enjoyed the snippets of my dull and boring life.

After I bought the Glee soundtrack, I've been listening to it in every car ride! Dammit Glee makes such nice covers.

Me and a few of my friends are 90% sure on going for Kelly Clarkson's concert. All that's left is to buy the tickets and that will make it 100% sure!

I have another interview tomorrow, let's hope it is the last one.

Feeling nostalgic, yesterday I dug up my 2005 year book back when I was in form 5.

... it was also a coincidence that I found it under a pile of old magazines during spring cleaning!

Since we were supposed to pay a visit to the school today (but canceled the plan in the end due to insufficient people T.T), I skimmed through the book.



Looking through the yearbook, there are times I will remember something. Things that I forgot even happened.


The autograph pages! I knew I really had fun collecting them, and those 3 pages were full! I'm going to highlight some memorable ones by very nice and some long lost people. =)

Yvonne Liew

Mei Ling

Yes Mei Ling, I bet you have more stuffs to write on my yearbook now? Hehehe. It's really weird how we got closer after form 5, but I'm glad to have a silly friend like you. Don't be too stressed out and remember I have my ears open!

Amanda

Don't 4get me. :)
I'm always good lah Manda... I you bet I didn't forget you because I saw you today! Thanks for the rides! Strange how we got closer only last month but you are a very wise friend and I hope that we will still meet up once in a while for chats. XD

Jennifer Teh
'Soo Yan you are the future writer' Yeah I can c bright potential in you
You are a CUTE GIRL WITH A BIG BRAIN
*and she drew me a worm with a caption that says "It's a worm not a snake"*
How cute is that? Haha~ She drew me a worm... Sorry to disappoint but my writing skills evaporated after form 5. Sigh. But yes I am the CUTE GIRL WITH A BIG BRAIN. Thanks! XD You are a smart girl yourself, I know you will do very well. Good luck!

Karen
-Good luck in SPM-
-Be happy, smile always-
-You are one of my best friend and it will be everlasting. You know me right!!! Setia-
Well Karen, I lost touch with you after SPM, I don't even know where you are right now. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, thanks for the silly times in 5Sc1!

Miss Sharmila
All the best in your future undertakings. Take a deep breath, hold it and dive in!
Thanks Miss Sharmila, I will need that advice! I'm diving in!

And most of the others are normal good luck messages.

I always do recaps on things that I did because I'm too tired/lazy to post immediately after that. >.<

22/1
I'm supposed to meet up with See Mun and Wen Yen at the Imbi monorail about 12pm. So since mum has to go to kaima's to make the kuih kapek, I had to leave about 10.30. I walked around Times Square, until I was so bored I picked a bench and waited about 1 hour I think, before they arrived at 1pm. But all is well, because I'm feeling very good that day. I actually sat and observed the people walking by. Young couples. Working ladies. Secondary girls in uniforms. Without kancing baju. When is the trend going to die off? Geez.

I was also holding bck the urge to buy BigBang's concert CD. Because it's not Ori (based on my experience Ori is NEVER so cheap). And who know's about the quality of the videos eh? So I passed for now. Perhaps after CNY. XD

OMG LADY JUST PUKED ON THE FLOOR. I just cleaned the mess up. Must be indigestion from eating too much! Sigh...

Anyway, so what we did was:
- Followed Wen Yen to Tung Shin Hospital for the medical check up for her Australia visa
- Ate yummy egg tart in her car because we skipped lunch
- Rounding BB area for a cheap place to park
- End up parking in front of Sakura and walked all the way to Pavilion under the hot sun D=
- Decided to eat Fridays for dinner at 5pm.
- Cracked a lame question at Von when she asked where were we eating.
- Chat chat chat
- Shopped a little
- Went to find a place with Wifi
- Settled with Old Town Signature. (More variety of food at a greater price)
- The others chose to go on FB with their awesome tech phones while I'm stuck with my beloved w980 with no Wifi feature. =(

- Stayed in 1867 while everyone was in 2010
- Had loads of laugh watching them chat with FB instead of chatting in reality
- See their frustrated faces when the Wifi got cut off and trying to connect to other networks.
- Called Wui Mun to join us for yumcha.
- Decided on the Curve, and walked back to Sakura

- When we arrived, most of the shops were taking last orders
- Settled on McD in e@Curve. >_>
- Chat more, exchange riddles and gossips
- Said goodbye about 12.30am

25/1
Monday-day
Cooking at Amanda's! Supposed to go PD but the plan got canceled, and Tantan and Yoongyoong had something to do last minute, so it's only 4 of us whackos. Me, Von, Mei Ling and Manda.

We met up about 10.30, then began our cooking! XD
- Manda enlightened us on the menu of the day, Bubur Chacha, Pasta and Chicken Pie!
- Chicken pie was already prepared by Manda's mum (cooking wonder!) and was baking when we got there
- Prepared ingredients for BBCC and Pasta, I was assigned to cut the potato and yam! Beware of my knife skills! Muahaha.

- After a long time, finally finished cutting up stuff.
- Put the BBCC stuff to boil
- Ate chicken pie! It was GOOOOOD. Mmmmmmmmmm. We got the recipe!
- Preparing to make the pasta. Manda the chef!

- Loads of laughter in between. I caught some pretty nice videos. Always hilarious to re-watch!

- Eat eat eat!

- Chat chat chat

- Cleaned-up, played a few games, lazed around Manda's house
- Discovered her awesome swing!

Ahhh it was so fun! I want to do it again!

Yep, I forgot to update for a week.

Okay, more like lazy. Anyway... I'm trying to remember what I did last week. I'm actually very bad at remembering things. I have pretty short memory. Which explains why I LOVE last minute studying... No it's not an excuse. XD

Friday 8/1 (I nearly forgot about this!)

Manda and Von came over. We watched Zoolander and played Monopoly and some Wii!

Fun times I tell ya!

Saturday 9/1


Catch up session at Paddington in The Curve. Wai Loon bought a DSLR so Jackie now has a partner...

... and everyone else has nicer pictures on FB.

Monday 11/1

CNY is around the corner. My mum and kaima is making kuih kapek! Kapit? Love letters? Whatever.


Being the good/nosy daughter I am, I decided to "help" them out whenever I'm free.
You see, the only thing I can do is put the kuih into their tins.


I cannot fold the kuih as they are too hot for me to handle! But looking at the pros doing it, it's like folding a tissue paper... So I give up and let them do their job! I'm just the benchwarmer/subsitute whenever they go for a break, which they hardly do unless it's lunch break.

Imagine how drool-worthy (not that it isn't drool-worthy ey? XD) this will look with a DSLR camera. Something that I would not invest on. Nope. I have other hobbies that already burns a hole in my purse, thank you very much.

Tuesday 12/1

I watched a uh-what-just-happened movie today - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
It wasn't boring. No. It was just... I can't explain it. It is kind of interesting though. As tantan would put it, one of the more interesting movies we watched together for the past month.
Because we are still kids at heart (or we thought we were) and we went to watch The Princess and the Frog and Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. And I wished I had used the money to eat McD instead.

R.I.P. Heath Ledger

Wednesday 13/1

Supposed to be a power cut from 11am to 6pm, so I went over to help/disturb them making the kuih.

American Idol Season 9!! Somehow Kara seems more in place after Paula left. I just want to see Ellen! She'll appear after the audition rounds I think.


Enough of blabbing from me. It's already Thursday, and I have not started sewing the Timcanpy that this girl wanted me to sew during CF. @_@

Today...

Yours truly...

Went jogging. I swear a snowstorm is coming.

It all started when my dear Manda, who lives literally a stone's throw away from me (if I throw the freaking stone with all my might) called me at 6pm, when I was weighing between the option of watching the American Idol Season 8 rerun or taking a lovely evening nap.

The lovely tune of "Wedding Dress" by Taeyang rang ever so pleasantly in my ear. Seeing it was Manda, I thought she wanted to discuss about tomorrow's session at my place.


And you know, me being me, and her being her, I couldn't refuse...

So yes, I got off my lazy butt and went jogging with her around the neighborhood.

I have to say, it was quite fun taking a jog, sweating and being cooled off by the warm evening breeze.

Mmmmmm... XD

So, let's just say I got about.. 15 minutes worth of exercise today? LOL. We walked around the neighborhood after the jog too. Nice! If all goes well (I'm looking at you Mr. Weatherman) we will jog again.

And after the jog today, we went to torture our poor feet in the hot spring! Something that I could only beat her at. I feel so proud staying here, I have gained the ability to withstand hot water on my skin. =D

Till tomorrow comes, Yan signing off!
