[ Short Life Story ]

I've been working on my new blog lately.
Adjusting picture sizes and thinking which fonts etc.
I will see all of you there soon when its done!  :) 

This year, even though its only March, has been pretty "life changing" in many ways.
The first 3 months has been a super duper flying roller coaster.
I have agreed to, thought of and done many things I never would've 21 years ago. 

In the past I'd never leave my little comfort zone, hiding safely under a rock. 
I don't care if my life was boring, as long as
 I have money to shop every other day, 
eat good food,
 get my annual vacation,
 I don't really care if the world ends tomorrow. 

Along came an ex boyfriend who decided to make me miserable. 
Made me return every single item he has ever bought for me.
He did it on purpose because he knew I couldn't live without my FAVORITE THINGS
Of course I was upset, I was so upset I swore every cell in my body could've turned cancerous. 

I cried like a dog for days because I missed my things so much. 
I was angry because he had the heart to do this to me after I sacrificed 5 years worth of youth on him.
I was really insecure because I was not sure how my future is going to be like. 

My ex has everything planned and ready for me. 
Houses, car, a growing escalating career. 
I could've just gotten married and live a peaceful life. 
And for me to know that I had to let go of all that, of course I got scared. 

BUT I DID NOT WANT TO GIVE IN
Because I don't want my life to be controlled by these material things.

I thought I was going to die, but let me tell you this...

I AM VERY HAPPY NOW. 
Because I have never felt more free.
I am now, me. 

Anyway, visited one of my darling cousins 2 days ago.
She was busy baking when I arrived and baked all the way till midnight! 


Shiny cars yo.
One day. 
One day I will make you mine. 
BY MY OWN AND ON MY OWN. 

I also want to thank my ex for teaching me such a valuable lesson. 
Many many valuable lessons in fact. 

I also wanna thank my friends and both kakaks, for listening to me and giving advice. 
I was told by my two kakaks that I'm still very young, long way to go. 
Just try to date and meet more people, its not end of the world yet. 

Its true.

[ Borrow & Lend ]

I have a love-hate relationship when it comes to sharing things.
If my friends or family members, wanna borrow my laptop, my phone..
Or most of the time almost any electronic gadget at all, I'm fine with it.
I'm generous when it comes to this.

When girl friends wanna borrow my dresses, it is still acceptable.
But depending on how close we are and how much I like that friend.

BUT

If anyone, except my mom and my sister ( But gotta ask permission first)
Wants to borrow my shoes, I dont think Im gonna let that happen.
This is because I don't know what to do when there are scratches and tears and mud all over it.
And my heart would hurt so bad I'd die.

Bags, it depends on what bag too.
Most of the time bags are not a problem but then again..
Why on earth wanna borrow other people's bags leh?
And the one thing I definitely don't like doing, is to borrow things from other people.
This only happens unless if I have
no choice. 
1. Because if I spoil it only using once, its such a rugi investment. 
And how would I know if its spoilt from the beginning and Im scapegoat.

2. People will in the long term find me annoying for borrowing.
Even I myself will feel myself annoying. 

3. What if the person needs it the same time I need it too?
No one is gonna give two fucks about me right? 

This explains why there are so many same clothes in my house.
Everytime my mom buys something I really like...
 I will go to the same shop and buy back the same thing.

Me and my mom, we have the same bags.
We have the same clothes.
We have the same cardigans.
We have the same leggings. 


And its not because we borrow things from each other, but because we bought the two same things.
Maybe just in different sizes.

I always get nagged and scolded for buying the same things.
My mom will be like

" Why are you so crazy, can't you just borrow from me?" 

Yea it may sound nice to be able to borrow but in reality its not like that.
My mom will give me hell if any minor accident happened to the borrowed item.
She will make me buy her a new one, pay for damage, and swear she wont borrow me stuff anymore.

So why bother borrowing right?
I might as well just live in peace and buy whatever I like.

Recently I've been asking my dad to sell me his camera.
Its a nice one and OF COURSE, he'll tell me if I want to use it I can borrow from him.

If I borrow from him,
Im sure he will bug me day and night to keep it in the case after using.
And when he needs it, I have to figure out where the cable is.
And figure out where the battery charger is.
And if anything happens to the camera, I HAVE TO BUY NEW ONE FOR HIM.

Theres so much responsibility and stress when it comes to borrowing people's things.
Therefore, borrowing is not something I believe in.
So I MAY be buying a new camera, which is actually pretty sad ..
because I don't really wanna spend money.
I also don't know which camera to buy :(

I'm also thinking of changing my blog these days.
Actually, long long time ago.
You know, its been like 5 years since Im in this space, time for a change maybe.
I'll do that in May hopefully. 

I dont mind lending people my things.
I just mind borrowing things from people.

[ One Day ]

Every time I feel like ranting about a particular person or lecturer...
I tend to rethink these days. 
This is because for a few times, I've gotten myself into trouble. 
Who would've thought they'd tune into this page and read about themselves? 

I need to protect my own interests and you know, save my ass. 
My future is in the hands of these lecturers, teachers, whatevers. 
Imagine them being pissed at me and granting me a FAIL
This world is realistic like that.
 And I don't want to waste anymore time in uni. 

So I shall let that part slip for now. 
The thing is when we were young, everything seems possible and theres this ray of light somewhere.
You'd probably think 

" One day I'll be as successful as Bill Gates."
" One day I'll own that Ferrari."
" One day I'll buy a big bungalow and create my dream space."

Everything is so lovely when theres hope and a "One Day".
One day sounds and feels awesome because when we were young, one day is still a long way more to go. 
The problem is, my "one day time frame" is coming to an end. 

Whatever I have worked for, studied for, its arriving. 
Its almost time for me to go out and work, and whatever my job may be, determines my future. 
I don't want to sit in an office and do admin paper work. 
I don't want to make RM3000 for ever and ever. 

To be honest, Im not even worried about whether or not a company can pay me.
Because it is the experience I want, and that experience...
I hope can shape my future and help me achieve what I've always wanted to be. 

What do I want to be?
Thats the problem. 
Theres just so many things I wanna be, I feel like Im racing against time. 
Which interview should I go for, what company should I go to?
Thats a lot to think of! 

Money is not my concern at this point.
I always have backup plans and I WANT EXPERIENCE. 
I'm definitely not going to do something I don't like just because the pay is a teeny bit better. 
 Life is just too short for that. 

And the worst part of it all is..
" WHAT IF MY ONE DAY DID NOT COME AT ALL?" 

Last week, we had simple dinner to celebrate mom's birthday. 
Dinner was at La Casa, Parkcity. 
I like eating there, especially with my buddy because theres an outdoor space facing the lake. 
Then we'd talk all night long about... most probably business and politics. 
And a shit load of my crap. 


Mushroom soup.
Not bad but not the best. 


Mom and Vico ordered this. 
 I would NEVER order carbonara in restaurants. 
NEVER EVER BECAUSE NO CARBONARA..
..Can win my mom's home recipe. 

This is a known family fact. 
And its a dish I'll never get bored of, only at home. 



Lamb Shank. 

Okay this I must eat outside because mom can't make lamb shank.
The only shank she can possibly make would be...

Rachel shank. 
If you see a dish like this appearing from my house kitchen, 99% its my leg. 


Lamb Cutlets. 
I really like the pile of vegetables on this plate.
They are soft, tasty and just special. 

I hate it when people serve string beans with western food. 
Or like, some lousy cubed carrots. 
Also! I hate it when cheap coleslaw is served as a side dish! 

I want coleslaw I know how to go to KFC man. 
When I want romantic dinner don't give me coleslaw can? 


Beef, that my dad loves. 
Steak here is pretty good too, better than most places Ive been to. 

AND THEN OUR FAVORITE DESSERTS. 


This NEVER FAILS
If I have to pick between Chilis chocolate molten cake and this chocolate fudge cake..
This one is gonna win Im telling you. 

Its not too sweet, its piping hot, and its texture is just right. 
One of the best chocolate cakes Ive had. 


Waffles. 
With vanilla ice-cream and strawberry drizzle.

YUMMMS.
This is better than Valentine's day's fine dining dessert. 
Easy, cheap(er) and satisfying. 

I went down to the kitchen few days ago and I saw this coffee and tea making machine.
Its from Coffee Bean and its so cute. 
The tea and coffee capsules are so colorful and the box is just so pretty. 
Tomorrow I will have some Earl Grey! 

Busy with assignments these few weeks. 
Semester ends in the middle of April. 

GUESS WHERE AM I GOING AFTER FINALS?
:D

[ Parental Guidance ]

 Last Tuesday, spent some time shopping with my parents in One Utama. 
A day earlier, I saw a necklace in F21 Midvalley. 

It was RM19 and I hesitated because I PROMISED that I'd save money. 
So I put the necklace back, and I was so proud of myself even though its just 19 bucks. 

What an idiot. 
Look what happened the next day, I think its definitely worth more than a rm19 necklace! 
Truly speechless. 
I am still trying to save money till this day. 
TRYING HARD YO. 
Its a tough tough life.


Ngehehe in Zara with my dad. 
He bought that blazer btw. 
Said its for my future wedding -.- 
What a liar. Pants on fire. 

Also I wouldn't make my dad wear Zara on my wedding day. 
My future husband had better get him a suit from ... I don't know. 
The last I heard my dad said he liked a suit, it was from Versace -.- 
That suit was slim cut and my dad's tummy aint getting smaller. 

I spotted a few slim cut blazers from Topman suitable for young boys. 
And everytime I enter Topman with guys, I'll be like 
" YOU GOTTA TRY THAT / YOU GOTTA GET THAT." 

I just suka sangat nampak guys in suits. 
It is a massive turn on okay, I will feel like ripping their suits of and..
... Okay I shall stop here ahemahemahem. 

Uhhh the only suit Im not gonna rip will be my dad's lah. 
Anyway, Im very happy with my Pull n Bear purchase. 
I love love love jeans from Pull n Bear. 
They are stretchy and affordable. 


We like dining in Canton-i because their char siew/roast pork is yummy.
I think I only eat char siew from Canton-i because the ones outside don't look so appetizing. 
This is served with mustard and sugar, Hong Kong style. 


 Oh and this is an amaaaaaaazing Thai dish I had few days ago with my family.
Its sour and spicy and the squids are super fresh! 

LOVE GOOD THAI FOOD. 
I wanna go to Thailand AGAIN lah. 

Have you ever seen a cat carrying a dog?
Let me show you. 

Isn't Junior like, super adorable? 
He looks like a koala bear + polar bear + puppy + bunny. 
Like a damn soft toy. 

Thats my mom by the way, the woman just turned.. I don't know how old.
Honestly I don't know, I just know she's in her late forties HAHA. 
Acts like an annoying kid tho sometimes. 
Burst day = Birthday. 
At 2 am she whatsapped me this.
She's gonna make me buy her a big present, just you watch. 

Been hinting me since her last birthday ended. 
No one can ask her for bday present, only she has authority to ask for present in this house.

[ Japanese Dinner with Frenchmates ]

I wanted to blog days ago but my connection was throwing a tantrum.
It didnt work properly and I thought the issue still exists.

SO 
I went to Parkcity's Coffeebean, spent RM25 on teatime I didn't need, just to use connection.
Came back and realized "Oh, my home connection is now working."

Last Saturday, had Japanese dinner with my Frenchmates in Bangsar.
Didn't know what to order because... to be honest Ive had enough Jap food the past weeks.

So I had the basic tempura udon.

Our French lecturer, Michelle Autheman was also there!
Out of our previous French teachers, shes considred our favorite because shes just lovely. 


 Tardy my partner in crime, moi, and our lovely lecturer.
Hanie was also there !

We later met up with Sharm to collect angpaus because she couldnt join us for dinner.
After dinner ...

Tardy, me and Hanie headed to Alexis in Bangsar for some cakes and tea. 
I am starting to regret, I have been eating so much cakes its insane.
Packing up on the pounds yo! 


Pavlova and my fav, Tiramisu.
Speechless.



The Tiffany & Co angpau that Sharm gave all of us !
Okay thats it, accompanying mom to go do her eyebrow embroidery now!

[ Braces : Before & After ]

Before you scroll down, I need to tell you that my lips are not in the most kissable state okay. 
All the pics shown are taken on really random days when I have nothing to do. 
And Im so glad I camwhored pictures of my teeth because I can do this post now! 

I love before after pics. 
Especially when there results actually show. 

So I had my self-ligating braces on in December 30th if not mistaken. 
I had a cross bite problem, you can see from the pictures that the two teeth at the left and right, situated behind my two front teeth, are pushed behind instead of being in a straight line. 

I was told by a dentist ( She's not my dentist ) during consultation that, it will take 2 years to solve my problem. She also added that there's " NO SHORTCUTS"

I was devastated lah, because I'm already 22. I don't wanna wear braces till Im 24. 
So when I found out about self-ligating braces, the new technology that shortens period of putting on braces, I decided to try it, even though its way more expensive. 

I was really skeptical about the whole self ligating ( Damon ) thing. 
I'm like, what if its the same shit with normal traditional braces, that its just a way to con desperate customers like me? 
I didn't really believe the whole "Faster treatment time" thing.
Eventhough I had these braces on, I still assumed that I needed 2 years. 

BEFORE PICTURES OF MY TERRIBLE TEETH. 




But hey guess what? 

AFTER JUST 45 DAYS OF BRACES : 


I HAVE ALMOST STRAIGHT TEETH. 
The two hidden teeth behind, is now pulled forward ! 

I was so super happy when I looked into the mirror one night and I'm like 
WTF WTF WTF MY TWO TEETH ARE NOW PULLED TO THE FRONT!

Its so happifying, I swear.
Its like all the pain and money is totally worth it ! 
IN JUST ONE AND A HALF MONTHS ! 

In my opinion, I think I don't have to put braces on for 2 years!
Im aiming for 6 months ! 
:p

[ Just Tuesday ]

Tuesday is a day where I have 4 hours break from 12noon till 4pm.
The worst part is, I am taking the 4pm class ALONE without the boys.
I'm always in dilemma whether to drive all the way home from uni and return for 4pm class...
Or stay and stone in uni for 4 hours.

Courageous me (pfffbt) decided to stay back and do my assignments in uni alone last Tuesday.
But first, I decided lunch would be nice, and I went to Chillax.


My RM10.90 sausage meal.
Actually I took this picture to Whatsapp my mom claiming that my allowance cannot sustain my lifestyle.Indirectly hinting her to give me a raise lah ( I failed miserably tho) what else.
HAHAHA.

While I was cutting up and chewing my sausage, I saw a table of about 14 people opposite me.
I believe all of them are students from the same uni as I am in, and at first I thought they had a lunch gathering.

Gathering indeed it was, but I then realized it was some sort of Christian fellowship gathering.
I didn't really noticed until the leader started talking.
You know some leaders, they have this strong, loud voice that is hou lan charismatic?
Thats what I'm talking about.

So basically, during the whole time I just listened to what the leader had to say.
I also observed the responses of the members.
If that leader sat infront of me during my lunch...
Im afraid I'd have to shove this RM10.90 sausage down her throat on her plate.

Its not about the content, its the annoying loudness. 


Last December I bought all these notebooks because I love collecting notebooks.
I know its a damn retarded hobby and its taking  up alot alot of space.

I never know what to write in these things, and notes are made in laptops these days.
What can I possibly write in them?
I gave up writing a diary 10 years ago because my mom snoops better than Snoop Dogg!
Its so effing embarassing back then, you know, writing about crushes and shit.
I have learnt my lesson!

Anyway, Im stuck with assignments, its going to be a hectic semester!
Before I sign off, the good news of the week is :

MY TEETH HAS IMPROVED AFTER WEARING BRACES FOR 6 WEEKS!
NEXT POST !

[ Valentines Dinner 2013 ]

Ahh, the Valentines dinner post. 
Valentines day is such an awesome day for florists, restaurants and branded boutiques. 
Initially, I wanted to pick Sage or Frangipani for fine dining. 
But then, I wanted to let my buddy try out Dish because food was pretty good on Xmas day.

Now, I must say I'm a very lucky girl because I have really awesome friends. 
My buddy KP is not my boyfriend, and we have been friends since 13 years ago. 
The thing is, he really treats me like a spoilt princess! 

And we are really just friends. 
Where to find such relationship you tell me? 
He lets me pick whatever I want to eat and wherever I want to go. 
Picks me up in a 7series after a long day of work, accompany me on Valentines day and foot the bill. 
DOES NOT DEMAND FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN. 

I really need to buy him a huge, delicious lunch someday. 
He is really unbelievable. 


ROSES! 

Okay no one bought me roses this year because I said I didn't want any. 
Roses are so overpriced on Valentines day and they die after a few days. 
I love flowers, just not on Valentines day because its really a waste of money. 

I was pretty happy that the waiters in Dish passed out roses that night!
Made me smile like an idiot. I got all excited. 


So dinner was a 6 course menu, with a glass of Prosecco Tenimenti or Rose each. 


Okay my hair, this is how I looked like that night.
Im full of crap so I teased my buddy and asked him if I'm pretty. 

" Im pretty hor? My hair is damn nice right ?" 
" Uhmmmmm..... the.....*points at my poof* is abit too ..... high."

Speechless! 
He never fails to pour ice water on my self-praise comments. 
This is how we communicate incase you're wondering. 


Canapes. 

When I saw this same exact thing I had on Xmas, I got a little nauseous. 
I was hoping that Dish at least changed the Canapes menu since it was Valentines day.
Can't they do a heart shaped mini foie gras on a stick or something? 

Why give me watermelon and deep fried brinjals again? 
Had a deep fried brinjal, and thats it. 
The taste of deep fried breadcrumbs sickened me.


Foie Gras

This was from the ala carte menu.
Its not included in the Valentines Dinner menu. 
It comes with spiced jackfruit and a slice of toast. 

The spiced jackfruit in the middle, is basically jackfruit and chillies. 
The foie gras wasn't that all great and I didn't go chanting "omfg omfg this is so good"
So its just basically creamy cold liver that both of us didn't really enjoy. 
I don't know, but buddy said the best foie gras he had was in Japan. 

Its like telling me the best roti canai is from Guangzhou.
HAHA. 

Now you know what pissed me off most about the Valentines menu from Dish? 
ALMOST EVERYTHING WAS DEEP FRIED. 
I FELT LIKE I WAS IN CONNAUGHT PASAR MALAM. 


Crispy Oyster with Confit Lemon.

See, its deep fried. 
Cant really taste much oyster with that much breadcrumbs covering it. 
Why can't they just serve fresh raw oysters instead I would be so much happier. 


Avacado Tempura, Crab Mayonnaise, Apple Vinaigrette.

Deep fried again.
 They fucking fried the avocado and made something delicious nasty.
The crab mayonnaise was a disaster, sushi king crab fillings tasted better. 
I really disliked this dish, I felt like I betrayed my buddy for having him fed such crap. 


Seared and Marinated Tuna Nicose

See all the deep fried pigeon eggs?
At this point both of us were complaining about the amount of deep fried stuff we consumed.
Buddy was like " I want to see your chef."
LOL. 

I didn't feel this salad. 
I know my cousin liked it on Xmas, but this was a super small portion and it didn't feel appetizing.
Maybe I was already too stuffed with deep fried things and foie gras. 


Black Olive Crusted Halibut with Tomato Coulis

This was buddy's main course. 
Its well. Fish in tomato sauce? 

I didn't like it. 
First of all, I don't like tomato puree kinda things. 
I like clear sauce when it comes to seafood. The type with wine and herbs.
The type of sauce used in Chinese clam soup. 


Chargrilled Striploin with Braised Cheek, Horseradish Mash and Mushrooms

Okay this was my dish and I must say, its good.
I liked it, but I did not clear my plate because I couldn't finish up so much meat. 
Potatoes and mushrooms are my favorite! 

I love desserts and its very important part of a meal for me. 
Dessert served on Xmas was amazingly good and I had high expectations. 
In fact, I wouldn't mind if Dish served the Xmas dessert again. 


Assiette of Desserts 

It looked pretty and cute and all that shit.
But I was disappointed because theres nothing on this dish that made me go wow. 
This is just plain and boring. 

I hereby announce that I won't be going back to Dish anymore. 
It bores the ass out of me and I hope when my cousins come back for our annual Xmas fine dining, we'll go somewhere. 


Lastly, a cup of cappuccino to end the meal. 

The total bill summed up to about RM650. 
When buddy paid, I started commenting on how overpriced dinner is and its so not worth it.
He is the one paying but Im the one complaining! 
Instead of joining me in ranting about terrible food..

" Nevermind lah, see, they gave you roses mah, make you so happy, worth it lah."

Yoooooo  :')
And thats how I spent Valentines Day :) 
Eventhough food wasn't impressive, its the company that matters.

[ Happy Valentines Day To All ]

Happy Valentines Day my readers! 
Not receiving stuff this year because I don't want flowers and chocolate. 
I want a Range Rover for Valentines can?  :D

Will be going fine dining with buddy later. 
Its more like a Friendlentines day for us. 
Will blog about the Valentines day menu next post! 

Anyway, I tied my hair into a loose bun and went to bed. 
When I woke up in the morning, I had awesome hair. 
Its a pretty well known trick to get volume for hair, if you don't already know. 


Recently, I don't know since when, I keep waking up with puffy face. 
Also eyebags! 
I never had eye bags in the past, they were non existent things in my life.
All this shit makes me feel like getting two jabs of botox and go all Rosmah. 

Ive been told that puffiness occurs due to retention, which means I need to drink more water.
As a hakka, most dishes I consume are super flavorful and salty. 
That explains the puffiness. 

Other than salty stuff, Ive been eating cakes like crazy!
I even had a reader from Bucharest, Romania emailing me to ask if the Tiramisus taste good! 
Thanks for the email by the way, if you are reading this. 
Carrot cake and for the millionth time on this blog, TIRAMISU
Again and again and again. 
I hope dessert tonight won't fail me, it is one of the most important things to complete a meal. 

For me at least :p 
Happy Valentines Day to all!

[ CNY 2013 ]

HAPPY CNY DARLINGS! 

This year, year of the sssssssnake. 
It is also going to be a year filled with changes for me. 
Massive changes. 

My parents increased my angpau figures, and thats a good start. 
However, I kept on losing when it comes to gambling. 
So I gave up since yesterday, chore 1. 

Grandmomma's place was never this quiet. 
It has never been this ... different. 
Some relatives passed away, most relatives migrated to Australia. 
CNY feels so different now, it is less loud and happening. 
This is really sad if you ask me. The younger days were way better.

Sigh, life. 
Loved ones can't remain by your side forever, things change all the time, anytime. 

So since the other relatives and cousins are away, only few of us had reunion dinner at grand momma's place. 
We're still happy, its just that we'd be happier if everyone came.
Its after all, reunion dinner. 


Lou sang! 
This dish is yummy.

In the past, I lou sang-ed almost everyday. 
This CNY, I only lou sang once. 

I went to One Utama's Canton-i that afternoon to collect the "Poon Choi" I booked weeks ago.
Its about RM400 per pot and we decided to have this for reunion dinner.
Grandmomma is getting old and tired, we don't want to stress her out. 


Looks good right? 
It tastes good too! 

I think me and my family, we're gonna buy this every CNY this year onwards. 
Delicious, affordable and convenient. 

Also, I received one of the most memorable angpaus in 22 years! 
Check this angpau given to me by my Aunt Elaine. 


This angpau is extremely huge in size compared to normal standard angpaus. 
And don't you think the design is just so vintage and pretty?
The material is very good too. 
I wouldn't throw this away, I think no one would ! 

This morning, chor 2.
I woke up really early, because I want to send off my cousin Amy.
She's going to New Zealand for 2 years, and I won't be seeing her anytime soon. 

Isn't it sad?
Sending off relatives on the second day of CNY?
Things have changed for sure. 
Its already quite shitty that Ive to spend CNY without Bren and Ryan, my two cousins.
Now I have to send off Amy too. 

We used to celebrate CNY together for so many years as a gang of cousins.
Now everyone is no longer in Malaysia. 
Why is everyone leaving Malaysia? 
I guess its for many reasons, that I shall not elaborate on now. 


Me and my darling Amy in KLIA. 
As much as I want her to stay, I know she'll have a better future if she leaves. 
So I hope she'll do great there and come back soon. 

And yea, that shirt Im wearing is from Topman.
Because white shirts in Topman are cheaper than Topshop.
Same material same size but Topshop's cost RM30 more. 
Eh, Topshop, you think girls really stupid ah?

[ Food Filled Week ]

Last few days, spent a lot of time searching for CNY clothes. 
Everytime CNY is here, the collections suckkkk. 
I went to Zara to check out new collection manatau all in black and white. 

Apa nih?
You know how much money can be made if they sell everything in red?
Sangat tak pandai buat sales lah ini ang moh. 
I bought a pair of denim and two tops from Topman.
Yea Topman for me! Explain next time. 

I am a cake freak. 
This week, almost everyday I've been chomping down on cake. 


Alexis Tiramisu 
Fattening stuff but oh I do not regret

I had 3 tiramisus this week, all from different restaurants. 
If I die I die with no regrets! 

One of those days when its only me and Tardy, I suggested we have big breakfast in Antipodean.
You know this place, if you just google, you can see tons of posts about its big breakfast. 
I always pass by Antipodean Bangsar when Im on my way to French class, but I never tried.

Tardy was up for it and we ordered the famous Big Breakfast.
I love breakfast kinda things. 


RM20 or so for one big breakfast. 
RM 9 extra if you wanna add on mushrooms, bacon, etc. 

So was the breakfast as good as claimed on thousands of other blogs?
NO LAH DUH. NO BIG DEAL. 
This is such a filling, overrated, bland tasting breakfast.
Tardy and I were both suffocating halfway through it. 

Malaysians very ikut hype lah. 
Fella A goes and say its nice, whole world also go and say its nice. 

Tardy and I, we're not going back there for breakfast again.
UNLESS IF WE HAVE TO. 
Like for instance, I promised Roger and his gf that I'd bring them there. 
So I will bring them there. But I won't go for no particular solid reason. 
And bringing Roger there is a very solid reason! LOL

The restaurant is also very small and crammed.
If you're not careful, you may even "accidentally" poke on the next table's food. 

 I'm never gonna believe kid bloggers and their tastes anymore. 
Stupid kids never eat good breakfast before make a big deal out of every possible meal. 
The next restaurant I find super overrated and boring is Plan B. 

Plan B serves pretty crappy pasta if you ask me. 
I can never finish it and if compared to other pastas Ive tried, its just plain crap. 
The only credit I can give to Plan B, is its modern interior which I like. 

Saturday, met up with French mates in Publika, Rakuzen.
Dinner was on my two kakaks! Sharm and Hanie. 


Im not a big fan of salmon.
But recently I am consuming lots of sashimi. 
Something is not really right with me. 

What did we talk about during dinner?
Men and relationships. 

After dinner, we adjourned to The Bee for drinks.
Instead of a drink, I had a Nutella ice-cream. 


 Yummm. 
Not as good as Ipoh's cempedak ice-cream, but still acceptable :D

[ Dresses | Then & Now ]

"All dressed up no where to go, so Im dancing on my own
Ive been waiting way too long, dancing on my own " 
- Pixie Lott ft GDragon & Top.

I can't believe the song I've been searching for so long involves two koreans rapping.
All these while I thought its some will.i.am or some african american. 
Today let me finally blog about the post I promised regarding 

DRESSES! 

I used to like really sexy, tight, revealing (although I have nothing to show lah) dresses.
The shorter the better was my dress motto. 

All these changed when I started going to French class. 
I see corporate women everyday, in other words Sharm and Hanie and a few others. 
They are FOREVER in knee length dresses and they look nice. 
However, back then its not really my thing to wear such mature looking dresses.
After facing them for almost 2 years my dresses started to change slowly. 

THEY TURNED ME INTO A LADY ! 

These are some of the things I buy and wear nowadays.


Knee length, super-fitting-cannot-breathe dresses.
The one on the right doesn't look that good in pictures, but in real life I look good ok!
Thats what people say lah Im just passing the message along :p 
LOL tak tahu malu.

The black one on the left is from Zara. 
One good thing about these dresses are that, they make me look slimmer. 
Its not the easiest things to wear, every piece of flab has to stay flat or else its a disaster.  


These are the younger versions. 
Very decent and ... cute yet lady at the same time? 
Both of these are from Topshop.

If dresses were a bit more affordable, I'd wear them every single day. 
The prices on dresses in KL are insane. 
Few hundred bucks for a decent looking one and can only wear once or twice. 
I don't know about you but I don't really like to wear the same thing more than twice. 
My mom always scolds me because of this. 

" You think you celebrity ah?"

I think I watch too much Channel E! lah. 
Bad bad influence. 


These two look decent from the front.
But its actually a little sexy in a sneaky way.
Both these dresses can't be worn with the normal bras.
It is a must to wear nubras. Those sticky bra pad things. 

The white dress on the left is from Zara, I wore it on Xmas. 
The lace on the sides are like peek-a-boo, and there is a super deep V bare back.

The one on the right is  bare from the ribs till the back.
Here's an old pic. With dresses like these, you can choose to cover up but be sexy at the same time.

Last month, I woke up early morning because I received a message from Sharm.
She messaged me to say that she's gonna give me a fuchsia colored dress
She passed it to me during steamboat session in Parkcity.

I was sooo happy when I saw the super bright pink dress! 


It's from Chloe, and its 100% silk. 
What did I do to deserve friends macam ini !? 

MERCI BEAUCOUP SHARM !
