Mood: I am drifting off to dreamland~

Just want to share a short article that i think is quite humorous and true. Its written by Nury Vittachi in the sun newspaper today (7/9/2009). Enjoyz~

NOTE: Please understand that i am not implying that everything he say is true and applies to me but its just for the fun of it. So if you are easily offended please stop yourself from reading further.

No Facebook value by NURY VITTACHI

A multi-million-dollar movie about Facebook is to be launched worldwide by Columbia Pictures next year.

That sounds exciting. I can’t wait to sit in a cinema for two thrilling hours watching Kevin Spacey editing his friends’ list.

While this social networking website is wildly successful, it is also incredibly annoying since anything anyone on your network says, pops up on your page.

But friends are friends, and they are all listed by name, so you cannot point out that their contributions are utterly worthless garbage, unless of course, you’re a tactless, completely insensitive oaf. So here goes: To my Facebook friends, many of you are sending contributions which are utterly worthless garbage.

Thinking it through, I reckon there are 10 types of major timewasters that foul up our Facebook news pages.

» The linguistically blind: They regularly send me letters and invitations in Bahasa Indonesia, Tagalog, Mandarin and other languages that they know I cannot read. Why? Do they think I am going to learn the language just so I can read their worthless opinion on the latest Ashley Tisdale music video?

» The hopelessly juvenile: They invite me to join groups that are clearly designed for very, very small, brain-damaged children, such as clubs for owners of virtual pets.

» The everything sharers: They give me too much information, constantly sending me messages saying: "John just played Typing Maniac and reached level six with a score of 64.558. He wants to share his success with you!" Well, thank you. In return, I would love to give this bullet from my AK47.

» The mass mailers: In my opinion, mass mailers and mass murderers are equally evil. These people send me invitations to events on different continents. No, I am not going to cross the world for a drink with an inane, thoughtless idiot.

» The disguised promoters: They pretend to be my friend but are really just selling me a product. No I don’t want to join a new sub-group set up to praise their latest self-published book since I know that all the other fans are them under various pseudonyms.

» The link forwarders: They forward unfunny jokes to our message walls, neatly reminding us how retarded they are.

» The hopeless amateur: They don’t really understand how Facebook works, but they click everything so each of us gets five identical invitations. They are on everyone’s ‘auto-ignore’ list.

» The bad conversationalist: They don’t realise that their dull responses go to everyone on the network so we all get to hear their dazzling gems of wisdom such as "Anyone their?"

» The spreader of awfulness: They don’t realise they have extremely poor taste but they remind the rest of us of that fact every day. "Here’s the fab new Aqua music video, I love it almost as much as I love I’m a Barbie Girl, woohoo!!!"

» The missing person: They signed up for Facebook but are too busy to use it so they miss almost every single posting and comment and invitation.

Actually, come to think of it, the last one may be smarter than I give the person credit for.

:: PAINT ball or PAIN ball ::

Listening to: Ah king playing Gears of War
Weather: Always looks like going to rain
Mood: *sways sways*

Hmm.. today i want to tell you about the time, i went to play paintball. Haha... I am not joking. Don't know what is paintball? Well it also literally means PAIN ball. It hurts alot if you got hit by the bullets. It was one saturday morning. At least 11 people went for the game. It started off with a beautiful sunny morning only to end up a rainy weather even before we reach the paintball park in putrajaya.

Well, to kill off time we took pictures!

My Gang!! We are all lousy shooters. Haih~

The Bad Guys!! That includes my little brother. Cis~

Our firearms and protectors

Group photo before we start killing each other. This is one of the best picture EVER!~

I just realise i am the smallest size person in the group. Haih~ Definitely will be instantly killed in a real battlefield. We played 2 games and both in different arena. The first game we played was in the palm oil estate. Sorry that we didnt manage to take a picture of the war field as the camera is locked safe in the car and we need to walk a distance to reach the battleground. RM50.00 for 100 bullets per person and we used up 3/4 of the bullets trying to kill each other.

2nd battlefield that they played but i was too tired to continue on.

I kind of love Counter Strike. Yeah not many girls enjoy such games. I am kind of a gamer girl until today. HO HO HO! Call me weird. I dont care! Its a nice game that everyone should experience at least once. Because of the rain, the muddy terrain makes it so much harder to run with mud sticking onto the shoes. Heavy~

Listening to: Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me
Weather: Its so breezy~
Mood: THANK GOD MY PC IS BACK ALIVE!!!

I am so sorry that i have not been updating my blog as you all know, my pc has entered ICU last month and has been there the whole time. Finally i got it back yesterday and its back online again!! WOO HOO!!

Throughout the downtime i was practically moulting at home. Well, not entirely... I happen to attend one of my grandmother's 80th birthday and boy was it GRAND!! I just loveeeeee the foood~

Well for introduction~

The Birthday Gal is in the middle with her 3 nephews (one of them is my dad) and her niece.
I couldnt get hold of the 'Cheong' Family picture. I must get it from my grand-aunt soon.

My dad's brothers or what you call uncles! Me pretty ma? Hehe

My parents and my idiotic little brother~ Heh heh

My 5th grand-aunt and 2nd aunt in a serious conversation~

Daddy and his 3 brothers~ All same face wan O.O

By the way here is the menu that was on our table:-



And now dinner is served:-

Top Left: Four season combination, i think its crab balls, delicious yummy fish cake, prawn and honeydew as garnish.. Oh.. how my mouth waters~
Top Right: Shark Fin's soup! Ok, this soup simply was marvellous. Its not very thick making it easier to digest unlike other restaurants whereby after you are done drinking the soup you are already 3/4 full.
Bottom Left: Roast Suckling pig~ One word describe it. CRUNCHY
Bottom Right: Steamed Patin fish. Well, just so-so only.


Top Left: Braised baby Abalone with Dried Oyster and dried Seafood in Winter Melon. Its been so long since i had eaten abalone. It doesn't matter if its small.
Top Right: Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab in Money Bag. Money bag is something like a piece of bread wrap around the crab.
Bottom Left: Longevity Noodles. It really was long.
Bottom Right: Chilled Mango with Sago Cream. Its has a very thick taste of mango juice.

After we wrap it in the money bag, it looks something like this.

Sluuuuuurrrrrrrpppp..... burp!!! Overall dinner was truly enriching and 'nutrient-full' !!!!
But somehow it passed out too fast.

As for the birthday gal, she got the best present in the world ~

:: Holiday - Day 2 ::

Listening to: Pitbull - I know you want me
Weather: Thank god for such a lovely weather.. cooling~
Mood: I think its fading~

After we been to the sea, next we are off to the hills. Cameron Highland here we come~

The weather looks like it was going to rain when we reached cameron highland. It was really cooling. I was really surprised at myself. During my younger days, i will be wrapping myself with thick sweaters but now..

Me and my lil bro just wear casual but we can see lots of aunties and young kids wearing thick sweaters. HAHAHAHA~

Ahem. Cameron was packed full with people that friday. We reached cameron around 3 pm and ALL the superiors room were taken!!! No room!! we went to equitorial, passadena and even to the country lodge. Non was available. Brinchang was also packed with visitors. We didnt want to go all the way to tanah rata. It wouldnt be as cooling as when we are on the peak. So, dad decided to go for family room in equitorial. We were lucky, the 2nd time we went there, someone checked out. WooHOO!! 1st thing i did in the hotel. RELAX IN THE BATHTUB!!!

I love bathtubs~ after the bath and sneezed a few times, i have regenerated. It was quite tiring to travel from here and there. Next thing on our mind will be, 'what's for dinner?'. Lolz. We had our lunch quite late, around 3.30pm and at 7.30pm, we are off searching for food. Checked out my dinner:-

Steamboat is the best when you in a cold weather. The night was colder but it wasnt the worst. It was raining, thats why the weather was cold. The bbq chicken and the fried mushroom was from the night market held everyday in brinchang. The steamboat itself wasnt enough to fill our tummy so we have to buy extra from the night market. I cant imagine how much weight i have gain from just one trip like that.

We didnt visit much places as we are kind of time constraint. At least we visited the strawberry farm. I just love those sour strawberries. YUMMY!

Grade A strawberries, where can you find? These strawberries are best bought from traders that sell straight from their farm. Do not go to commercialized area that have shops and souvenirs. Its way expensive. We bought this from a stall along the road and it only cost us RM10.00

Its a strawberry in a strawberry. Lolz~

There was this one farm i noticed that hanged yellow paper around their plants and i was quite interested to know what it was. Ended up, it was this:-

Those are actually paper with glue and it was meant to trap all these insects from attacking the plant or fruit. Lots of big flies and mosquitoes can actually be found in highlands. For those interested in insects you will have a wonderful time studying those tiny insects that i can't identify with my naked eyes. HAHA

Now, how in the world did i do that? Lolz. Dad and little bro destroyed the bed~

Well, although its a short trip, i felt more relaxed and much more lazier to go back to work the next day~

:: Holiday - Day 1 ::

Listening to: Sean Kingston - Fire Burning on the Dance Floor
Weather: abit hot if you ask me
Mood: Can't make up my mind~

Sorry for all the late posts. Can't seem to find a time to myself. I am still wondering what am i busy-ing everyday and that INCLUDED the time when i am in office. Hmm~ *ponders*
Oh Well~

Last week, i took 2 days off to release stress and tension. Starting to notice my boss is weird at times or maybe all these times. I can't describe the weirdness. Anyway, since my dad was suppose to fetch 'lil me' (my sis) down to Penang, so i joined them on this little trip. Our first day trip to Penang was on a nice weather.

View of the sea when crossing the Penang Bridge

Either its the middle of the bridge or a grand welcome entrance to Penang

Dad was so proud he got a good offer on a hotel that he booked online, Grand Continental to be exact only to get a not-so-satisfying hotel to live-in. The toilet bowl leaks, bathtub that looks as though it has not been used for quite sometime, no hair-dryer and worst of all, they only have RTM1, RTM2, and RTM3!! The HELL!!! (*RTM = Radio Televisyen Malaysia*). We ended up watching a malay ghost story that night and all suffered a nightmare after watching it. LOLZ!

Dad was saying we have been living in too much luxury. Its fine to stay in the hotel. But then when i suggested lets skip the idea and we go to cameron highland since its on the way back, everyone agreed. Lil Me have to stay behind in Penang as she couldnt tag along. Another reason why everyone agreed to my idea is due to the damn hot weather in Penang. Gosh! Beh tahan~ The hotel room do have a nice view actually. Our room is facing Komtar Tower. A well-known landmark in Penang Island.

Menara Komtar. Tallest building in Penang Island.

So, since we are visiting Penang, lets go to where tourist will normally go! Visit Gurney Drive and 'chiak' (*eat*) all you want!!

Top Left: Penang Asam Laksa! Top Right: Sotong Kangkung and Si Ham Bottom Left: Sui Gao, Bottom Right: Duck Kueh Teow Soup

All at the price of between RM2 - RM4 per bowl / plate. Very CHEAP!! Of cos if we compare to KL price la. People all say Gurney drive is very expensive but i dont care! Its still cheaper than in KL duuuh~

Oh OH! Saw something interesting while on the way to Gurney Drive.

Jeng Jeng Jeng! KFC in a historical-like building. Very interesting. Wonders how the decorations are like inside the building. Hmm~

:: As I Mature ::

Listening to: Jay Chou - Gei Wo Yi Shou Ge De Shi Jian
Weather: Hazy and blurry
Mood: Butterflies in my stomach please go away ~

I am bad at choosing a guy to be my partner for life. I must stay stronger to throw this fluttering feeling for him away. Shoo shoo~ Why you think i am doing that? Because i KNOW he is not a good person. He WONT be. Its just a crush i have for him. I must not be con by him. We are so uncommon in many ways and we have communication problem or rather he dont talk much.

I got this little meaningful quotes from my email and i think its very VERY true :-

As I Mature.....

I 've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

I've learn that no matter how much i care, some people are just assholes.

I've learn that it takes years to build up trust and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

I've learn that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better have a big willy or huge boobs.

I've learn that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.

I've learn that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learn that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place.

I've learn that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it.

I've learn that the people you care most about in life are taken away from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.

Spread the words, trust me, they'll appreciate it. Who knows maybe something good will happen.


If not.... tough shit~
