Pong-ness

WooHoo~! Getting to go out at night is super fun. My dear Pui Yee wanted someone to accompany her to a "Unplugged concert" by her favourite singer, Pong Nan. Seeing that I never went to a concert so I jumped at the chance.


Luckily today I had the car and that it was not jammed. So I meet up with Pui Yee at Times Square and we ate at Uncle Lim. Not as good as our Uncle Lim night chef in Pyramid...


Night atmosphere at KL.


Although Christmas has come and gone, it seems it'll take a while before the decorations would come down.


Then again, what sort of decorations should people put up for the new year. All I know is that Chinese New Year is next. Red Red Red.


Waiting for it to be 10pm.. The event starts then. This fountain is in front of Times Square Hotel.


This "unplugged concert" was held at Wings Cafe. We were suppose to meet up with another girl to get tickets but no luck.


Nice ambience...


Hehe.. Our dear Pui Yee is excited to meet with Pong Nan.


I'm here for the drink. Heineken this time around. Taste better than Tiger, less gas. Eating with chips.


Noriko, I'm drinking for you~!


The bottle was so cute~! It's about this high. I used my hand as a measuring tool.


Lucky for us, we went a little earlier and got some seats. Wow~! A lot of people...


Pui Yee is so focused to the front. No matter, more beer for me.


Oops~! Pui Yee overheard me.


All in all, I drank 2 and a half bottles (pints) of good beer.


Pong Nan came rather punctual about 10.15pm. I found it quite funny that the audio people only started to set up at 10pm. This was how far I was.


He's cool. He can sing, play the guitar and play the piano. No wonder our dear Pui Yee likes him so very much.


The event ended about 11.20pm. He actually walked towards us. I even got to shake his hand, though I don't know why I said "Hello, sir" to him.

Haha... Must be because study too much. Pui Yee stunned and couldn't do anything (not even take photo of me shaking hands with Pong Nan) [sigh] She'll be going later (30th December night) to take autograph session. More Pong Nan for her.

I'm staying overnight at Pui Yee's house and using her internet line now. Muahaha~! My December's really fun and so unforgettable. Loads of things are happening with me turning 21 and all. I'm so excited. Cheers~!

Mr Papaya Tree

I was coming back into my room from watching tv (movie "Just Friends) when I heard a 'thud' in the garden. Sounded like a big human had just collapsed. So I went to the garden and saw that Mr Papaya Tree had broke.


It had grew too tall and was baring too much fruits and caused it to break. It had grew to more than one storey high.


Luckily it didn't fall onto either of my dogs. Though technically Mr Papaya Tree is not male or female, but a bi-sexual tree. I think. But I like to call it Mr Papaya Tree. Sounds better than The Papaya Tree or It..


It had 23 papayas but there're all not riped. We'll have papayas to last us for a long long long time. Papayas anyone?


Anyway, we already grew ourselves two little papaya trees. The legend continues... Haha. Cheers~!

Power of Microsoft Excel

Today was a typical holiday 'day' for me. Staying home, waking up late, playing the computer.. But the only difference was my dad showing and playing with microsoft excel. He's worried that I don't know the value of money..

It was very interesting on how he keyed into the numbers and formulas to get the desire results quickly. He showed me how to calculate bank interest, salary EPF, investment, credit card debts, etc. There's always so many things to learn about.

I normally use microsoft excel for tables, lists.. Now I'll have a new function for it. I wonder what new things I'll learn in the new year. Cheers~!

Meeting & Basketball

It was moments after I came back from Genting that I received a sms from our dear Noriko saying that there would be a MM meeting the next day. Zero, Vivian, Nicole, Michael, Noriko, Hong Wai and myself were present. Needed to execute the website and motion graphics for our graduation in a short time.

Anyways after the meeting, I went for lunch with Noriko, Zero & Hong Wai at Cassa deVine / chicken-rice-shop. They served lovely soups there. It was after lunch that I did something I always wanted to do. Play basketball. So you can guess how interested I was when I got a chance to play this curious game.

Although I can't play for nuts, I gave it my all and had a lot of fun. Thanks Noriko, Zero, Hong Wai and Rony for putting up with this crazy idiot. Hahaha~! Cheers~!

Genting Trip

It was the 24th Decemeber when we merrily made our way to Malaysian's "air-con" entertainment, Genting Highlands. My mum brought along quite a picnic of things.


That's until I saw this taxi. Haha, we can't compare to this guy...


Dad got himself a "suite" so he said my sister and I could bring a friend along. Guess who I gleefully brought along.


It's had been quite a long long while since I stayed in Awana. Normally I'll stay in First World. Much cheaper.


There were a lot of people that were staying at Awana.


Nonetheless, I took this time to stop and smell the flowers.


When our room was ready, I opened the door and went straight to this. Nah.. Loads of stuff to bring in. How I wished I stayed in this bed.


Instead, we find ourselves at the end of a long long "dragon" (as Pui Yee puts it). Had two complimentary skyway passes so we didn't drive up. If there were this much people here, can you imagine what the situation would be up there?


Well, you guessed it. There were long long lines at everything. Restaurants, toilets, Rides, etc... So our plan to have fun at the outdoor themepark was thrown out the window.


Instead, Pui Yee and I had fun taking photos. Like this deco at First World hotel.


And this insanely coloured decoration also at First World.


Since we couldn't have fun running around Genting, we could only imagine ourselves running around in this mini replica of Genting.


Even our break at Starbucks with our hot chocolate couldn't stop our photo frenzy.


Actually, we just wanted a place to lounge around to enjoy Malaysian's natural air-con.


It's undeniable that the Christmas feeling was in the air. There were many people running around with funny red hats.


That of course, included us.


Although I don't celebrate Christmas, it's fun to join in once in a while.


Although Christmas has been globally-marketed, it should be about the love,


the wonderful food (I can't help putting food in),


the company you keep,


And having a good time.


It doesn't stop us from being naughty... Hehe.


So if you were wondering why I wasn't online during Christmas eve and Christmas, I was up at Genting with my family and friends, having a ball... Despite being in a crazyly overcrowded Genting.

Thank God for Holidays

Joy is the day when the last assignment was done and presented on Thursday morning. [jumps around in glee] [stops]

Though this assignment had caused my absence from some interesting events like comic fiesta (16-17 Dec), the Penang Drawing field trip (18-20 Dec) & Rony Little's BBQ party (20 Dec), I shall not go about pouting since it's really something I brought upon myself. [sigh] Well besides the grim idea of waiting for the impeding results now, I'll just turn my attention to other things... merrier things.

What better way to celebrate the holidays than eating out in luxury with the best-est friend in the world~? Yup, ate a simply scrum-dili-yum-ous lunch at Cafe Flam with Pui Yee.

Must say their atmosphere is really nice...


Look at all them pretty bottles. Expensive things I assure you.


Even the food is a sight for sore eyes. Their seared Seabass was so lovely and yummy too.


My dish of Prawn Spaghetti was delicious. Yum... V____V


Interestingly enough, their dessert was nothing short of great presentation and taste either. Let's just say we really took our own sweet time there while Pui Yee updated me of all them events I missed.

Yesterday night was Winter's Solstice. A celebration where that night would be the last hearty meal before winter settles in. During Winter, family in China fall back onto dried and preserved food. So dinner during winter's solstice is apparently the last good meal of good, fresh food you can eat. I don't know how accurate this is. I'm falling back on my memory after all.

Regardless the history, my mum takes this day rather seriously. Everyone must be back to eat dinner together, be it by hook or by crook. So that makes it another sort of reunion dinner thing.

So what's with the deal with this dinner? Well, since way back when; Winter in China was a harsh season and it was considered lucky if you could survive through Winter. That's why we celebrate this "survival" with Chinese New Year when spring arrives and there's a day when it's everyone's birthday.

Good food. Seriously good~!


All are my mum's cooking. She's the best cook around and so when she cooks, it's an honour really. But she can be pretty snappy when she's busy in the kitchen. That's why I stay clear of the kitchen area. I tend to break stuff anyway.. [excuses, excuses] Hehe.

Until here then. Shall put up some more stuff later~! Stay tuned. Cheers~!
