Today is the Day

I will be flying back to Adelaide tonight.
After being back in Malaysia for a month, I dont really feel like going back anymore.
Home in Malaysia is really where the heart and stomach is.
Family is here and old friends who I grew up with are here PLUS good food is here as well.

On another note, I have 37 kg of luggage, that is 7 kg of excess luggage after one month of shopping and lugging back heaps of new clothes, shoes, books and necessities for a year.
I hope they are not strict or else I have to hand carry my excess 7 kg on board and I sure as hell dont want to do that cos I have my laptop as well!!
Why oh why did I buy so many new clothes and shoes that now I 'absolutely' have to bring back. PLUS just now i was chatting to Wai Ken on msn, and he said that his friend was not allow to bring extra 6 kg to check in. I'm DEAD.

Ok, bye Malaysia, see you in a year.

The Last Thursday

The last Thursday in Malaysia for me before I go back to Adelaide on Saturday for a year. I Won't be coming back during Winter Break in July=(

Went out for lunch with Evelyn and Ching Mei at Sakae Sushi.

food

The sauce was really nice.

Photobucket

At night, met up with Milaksh who just got back from India (haven't seen this guy in ages!), Sarah and Crissida. Milaksh is still funny as always, and boy can he talk a lot! Even I lose to him. Sweat -_________- Plus, the first med student I met that told me he loves what he is doing.

Went for fried laksa recommended by Sarah.
I Really really really liked the fried laksa cause asam laksa is my favourite Malaysian food, and this was a different take from the normal asam laksa.
The best part is, the restaurant is 3 minutes from my house by car.

Proceeded to 24 Hours McDonalds at SS 15 for ice-cream!=)

I chose this picture, cos in the pic with me or Sarah sitting on the outside, I look fat, and according to Sarah, she looks fat as well.-_________-


Photobucket
Us!
This was taken with a self timer and it was the final picture from many many attempts. I think we took about 10 pictures sitting on that bench alone. People were starting to look at us funny.

My fat legs against Sarah's long lean ones.
We were wearing almost identical grey shorts.

Dessert Post!

Okay, doing a dessert post today. Just discovered Asian Avenue at the New Wing of Sunway Pyramid on the F floor. Its kinda hidden and I didnt realize it the first time I went there.
I like Asian Avenue. Heaps of small nice shops with pretty reasonable prices.
Plus they have some good Asian food shops hidden there. On Sunday, I tried out this Taiwanese restaurant selling famous Taiwanese food:
XXL crispy fried chicken, and handmade oyster mee sua. Damn nice i tell you, wanted to take pictures but as usual I forgot about it and gobbled everything down.
Some more only RM 5.50 each, very reasonable for shopping center price.

So, on Monday, I went back again to try the dessert shop next to the Taiwanese shop.
Its called Snowy Dessert, the chairs and tables are bright pink. Forgotten to take picture of the shop as well. I am not a very good food blogger, am I?

What me and my cousin had:

food
Ice blended watermelon juice and sago. RM 4.90

This is very nice, I really liked it, BECAUSE it had all the elments in a drink that I like. 1. iceblended 2. Heaps of sago. If only it was gassy, it would be the PERFECT drink.

All in all, very refreshing.

food
Mango and black glutinous rice dessert. RM 7.90

Quite nice, but too little mango and too much rice. Not recommended to consume in excess because its just diabetes in a glass bowl. This was ok only, should put more mango.

food
Egg tart with bird nest. RM 7.90 for 2 eggtarts.

I like this one too! The egg tart itself is really nice, the pastry was fresh and realy light. Something special with the bird nest dollop on top.
A little expensive i think.
Me and my cousin actually consumed 2 plates of egg tart but they only charged us one. Only realized it when we were walking back to the car. No wonder so cheap!

In case you havent realized by now, my diet plan has gone down the drain. Nevermind!! I ll diet, exercise, work and study when I go back to Aus.

On another note, I realize my driving skills is not bad, have been driving quite often these holidays. But my parking is OMG, I cant park to save my life! Damn terrible, I am destined to drive small cars my whole life now.!

Girls day out!

Met up with Evelyn, Ching Mei, and Crissida on Tuesday morning for shopping. We went to 1 utama, nothing much there though. So, just walked around and went into random shops.

On Sarah's request, we were suppose to all wear dresses that day. Crissida said we look like a bunch of datins which I reckon we did, walking around in 1u. haha

Saw this cute pair of earings in Topshop.

After that, went to Jack's Place for lunch after some heavy 'deliberation' of I don't know where to eat and anything la. Finally decided to go there with the help of a direction board near the escalator.

Ok, the food.
Photobucket
Potato and leak soup, with garlic bread.
I have no idea what is leak still.

Photobucket
Main course: fish and calamansi sauce, with mint peas and carrots.

I didnt't have a full on picture of the main course because I forgot about it plus Evelyn had issues with the peas and gave them all to Crissida. So, the only picture I have is the one of Evelyn giving her peas to Crissida.

No picture of the dessert as well, cos we attacked our dessert before I manged to get a picture of it. So much for Ching Mei blogging about the food. I shall be a more alert photographer next time.

Photobucket
Crissida looking very delighted with the garlic bread.lol

I like this picture! Look at Crissida.

After that, we went to KDU to pick up Sarah. She wanted to show us Aurora, the boutique she has been raving about in Damansara Perdana.

Of CNY open houses.

Went to Ee Juen's house on Saturday for her annual open house. Got to meet up with old friends which is always very nice =). Because, I don't think that I will come back this July during winter break. Gambled a lot, but I didnt win much, this year is going to be a bad luck year for me. I can always tell from my gambling luck. hmmmph.

So, I thought, fine, nevermind tommorow during my open house I will win back my money. Who knows, lost even more??!! wtf
Wai ken was the dealer and he was so lucky. When I first ask him to be dealer,
YW: Wai ken, be dealer
WK: Dowan la, later I lose money
YW: Be dealer!!!

He should thank me man.

Anyway, the people who came to my place were evelyn, ching mei, sarahkate, crissida, emily+bf, chokyew+gf, joon heng, wai ken, eugene and niven.=)

Pictures below! Boy, I look fat in the pictures. wtf?? I shall diet more and eat less in Australia.
The only CNY goodies I am eating from now are mandarin oranges. No cookies , no chocolates (self control, self control!)
I hope my housemate and her bf plus friends wont feed we so much more anymore when I go back to Adelaide, or else I am going to be obese.
Cut down on Krispy Kremes, dougnuts, biscuits & nuts when I go back to Aus, and stop being so greedy and addicted to junk food, and exercise more also.

This guy accused me of not talking to his gf!! pffft Sorry lo, but his gf was so shy. She seemed really scared of me also. And I'm sure that I DONt look scary with my size.
After that, all of us moved to Sarah's place where Ee Juen joined us, where we played mafia!
But before that, we ate Sarah's famous konyaku jelly.=) I havent figured out how to link properly yet=S, or else I would link her blog post.
Ok, back to mafia, I am sooo not a good mafia. The 1st time I became a mafia, I got caught almost immediately. Apparently, i fidgeted too much, and my body language gave me away.=S
Joon Heng was really good, he managed to make me and Sarah turn against each other even though he was the mafia all along. Such a good actor, and highly skilled at the game.lol
Of course, when Sarah found out, he got a whacking. It was quite amusing.
All in all, it was good fun meeting up with everyone. Won't be seeing them for a year. I will sure miss everyone.
