PLANS [ ... ]-24.05.2004, Monday
I think I'll provide reviews of products, food or services... in my blog besides talking about me. I'm try to establish a new website next year. Now in the process of designing and planning. What it's all about, it's a secret.
I've started a photoblog. It's actually for PhotoFriday.com, where u can submit ur photos based on theme for the week. So it'll be updated once a week at most. Anyone can join it, as long that u have a static webpage to place the photo and u can post your link in PhotoFriday. It's a challenge but no prize. It's just a satisfaction to share ur photos with other ppl.

THIAN COURT [ ... ]-23.05.2004, Sunday
Went to Thian Court, Crowne Square, with my family for dinner. These were what we ate:

Lamb Chop(RM12.99) and Fillet Steak(RM15.99)

Fish Fillet(RM9.99) and Sirlion Steak(RM13.99), the sauces for the 3 dishes are the same, black pepper sauce and the fish dish is tomato sauce. My comments? I miss Roy Roger's steaks!!!!! So obviously, it's quite disappointing for me. Last time, I orderd Fillet Steak and it's better back then. Now it's just don't taste as good anymore, maybe it's different cook who cooked it. Oh well... it depends on each individual's taste. Some ppl might like it.

Ais Kacang and Beancurd Delight
(RM2.60), actually not really remember what are the actual name for both. To order, just point out the number, 8 and 9. Heheheheh... Beancurd Delight is just right for me coz I don't like something too sweet. As for ais kacang, the red beans were big :) not that sweet too.
Mexico Chololate(RM3.20), well... it's not what I've expected, not enough chocolate. I'm very particular about chocolate. I love chocolate, a chocolate lover.

CAKES [ ... ]-21.05.2004, Friday
Well... nothing much to do, just to share two cakes with you. Maybe next time I'll take more pictures of cakes, I don't really like to eat cakes but I like its decorations. Like to see but don't like to eat. Hahhhha...

Left: My mother's birthday cake. Chocolate Blueberry Cake from Big Family Bakery. This is fresh cream cake.
Right: My father's birthday cake. Chocolate Orange Fantasy from Mita Cake House. This is mousse cake.

KOMA [ ... ]-17.05.2004, Sunday
My cousin borrowed us this VCD. It's a chinese movie. It claimed to be horror movie of the year! B***S***!!!! Nothing scary at all, it's about murdering ppl to get their kidney and how best friend turns into your foe. Not scary at all. Very mono... stars by Lee Sing Jie and Ling Jia Sing. At first I thought that it's a very scary movie and lots of gruesome scenes, sigh... nothing special. Very disappointing. I didn't manage to watch the begining of the story but nothing much there.

It's about
Zhi Ching(Lee Sing Jie) saw a murder at a wedding. She's the only witness. She recognized the murderer, it's Sun Ling(Ling Jia Sing) when she helped in the investigation. At the same time, she found out that her bf actually had an affair with Sun Ling. She received lots of phone call that threated to remove her kidney from Sun Ling. She was so traumatized until her mental wasn't that stable. Zhi Ching's having kidney problem since she's a little girl. She felt very insecure that her bf will leave her for Sun Ling and she's lack of confident but has a kind heart. One night, Zhi Ching was kidnapped by Sun Ling's compliance and wanted to remove her kidney for sale. They sell ppl's kidney for money. However, Zhi Ching told them her kidney doesn't worth anything coz she's having kidney problem. So Sun Ling let her go and they become best friends because Zhi Ching pitied Sun Ling(she had gone tru' lots of hurts and sadness in her life) and she wanted her to be her friend and decided not to charge her.

They were so close. Then one day, Zhi Ching received a phone call telling her that there's a kidney for her, she must bring money to one of the public toilet to exchange with the kidney so that she could have her transplant. She went there with Sun Ling and struggling scenes started there because there were actually polices standby outside the toilet to catch the guy. Sun Ling was held as hostage. Then suddenly blood everywhere, Sun Ling killed that guy in the cubical where she was held hostage.

One day, Zhi Ching condition got worst, without a transplant she'll not be able to live a normal life. Sun Ling offered to take care of her. Then the truth unveiled,
She gave Zhi Ching medicine that makes her weak and told her she'll remove her kidney and put her in a bathtub full of ice but nothing's done. Sun Ling actually planned everything with her guy friend that she "killed" in the toilet (she didn't kill him, instead the guy friend try to protect her and killed himself). This is because Zhi Ching reported to the police without telling Sun Ling and their plan failed. All these while Sun Ling is using Zhi Ching. When Zhi Ching gain consciousness she looked for Sun Ling to revenge coz Sun Ling's hurt her bf when she was unconcious. Scences of chasing with an axe around the lab followed up. The two gals struggling to kill each other. Then out of a sudden, Zhi Ching was in the hospital, she had received kidney transplant and adapting well to it. They told her that it's from another victim that was killed at the lab, it's Sun Ling's kidney! She recalled Sun Ling ever told her something last time,"I'll be with you whererever you are." She freaked out, Sun Ling's image will haunt her forever and she wanted the kidney to be removed and the doctor and nurses had to held her so that she'll not hurt herself. Then that's the end of the story...

Guess... will there be KOMA2 coming up?

BEING 20 SOMETHING... [ ... ]-14.05.2004, Thursday
"Being Twenty-Something.........' They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis.'

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now...(continue here...)"

Got this from an e-mail. Found it very meaningful especially for ppl like me that are in their 20's. It potrays just everything that I'm going tru' now. It's part of our life and let it be a lesson for us in years to come. CHEERS...

I did something crazy...
I was chatting with a guy in ICQ, then Lee came along. He chatted with me.
In the middle of the chat I actually did something very crazy, I asked Lee to be my BF!!!! Yes.. BF... hahhahaah...
Actually it's not purposely... The story goes this way...
xxx: "You want to be my gf?"
me: "be my bf?"(I am supposed to send this to xxx and not Lee but I typed it in the wrong window and sent it to Lee instead of xxx)
I waited for reply... so long no reply... I was surfing at the same time.
I checked Lee's window first, OMG!!! How come the msg ended up there? Check xxx's window, nothing... he's waiting for my reply... of course I told xxx I don't want to be his gf. As for Lee, I guess he was really really shocked...noticed that in the status bar of ICQ, he typed something and then deleted it and stopped typing and then started again, several times. Very funny. (at this point I purposely waited for his answer to see how he'll react) waited long enough, I quickly apologized... told him that I had sent the wrong msg in the wrong window...
Then I asked him, what answer will he be giving if really that question was for him, he replied,"NO!!! NO WAY!".
Me: "Are you ok now? Got any heart attack?"
Lee: "Nvm, next time I'll tell ppl a joke about Irene wanted me to be her bf..."
Me: "What do you think ppl will react when you said that your answer to me was NO? I don't think anyone will believe your answer was a NO. Everyone will be expecting a YES, ahhaahah... disappoint all of them eheheheh..."
Lee: "That's my problem..."
That's all, and we switched to other topic.

LIZARD & ME [ ... ]-13.05.2004, Wednesday
Got inspired by Webmaster’s weblog entry in catscity.com on how he got “involved” with the lizards.

Lizards are his “friends” but me… they seemed like they had owed me something before and I always accidentally killed them very brutally… imagine if they are human… I’m so cruel!!!!

These are my encounters with lizards:
1. It was at the old house. One day, I rushed to open the door for my brother, I stepped on something watery, I didn’t care about it at first, thought that it might just some water. After opening the door, I went back to inspect the “water”… grosssss!!!! It’s a lizard! I had killed a lizard by stepping on it the body was squashed, left its head and its tail. The tail was still jumping there. The “water” it’s not water, it’s the lizards body’s fluid…

2. Move to a new house. Again… just week after moving there, I killed another lizard accidentally. Somewhere in the middle of the night, I went to the toilet. I didn’t switch on the light. When I wanted to lock the door, it couldn’t lock. I pushed it forcefully so that it can be locked. I heard very faint cracking sound but I didn’t care, I thought maybe the door hinges need some oil. In the morning, I went to the toilet again, try to lock the door again, not easy to lock, it’s like something stuck at the hinges. I didn’t care, just wan to do my “business”. After that, I saw something sticking out from the edging of the door, just above the hinges, I wasn’t wearing my spectacles, so it’s kind of blur. I took a closer looked at the it, I almost touched it but didn’t ehheheh… “hmmm… what’s that?”, I opened the door, saw something sticking out at the other side of the door, it’s red… got a close looked, OMG… it’s a lizard!!!! Its eyes sticking out and the upper body was red and its mouth open widely and it’s lower body was pale… it’s dead and it’s killed very brutally. BY ME!!!! Really freaked me out.

3. Not long after that, again… I rush to open the door for me my aunt. She’s giving a bowl of curry. I didn’t know that I had stepped on something. After that, accepting the bowl from her and wanted to put it in the kitchen, on the way to the kitchen, I saw something jumping up and down in the floor, I inspected it closely, OH NO… not again… it’s a lizard’s tail. I brother told me that I stepped on a lizard when I went to open the door. He tried to warn me earlier on but too late… at least this time, it’s not killed, it managed to escape.

4. Quite sometimes… nothing happened between the lizards and me. One morning, I went to the toilet. I closed the door and felt that the door is a bit hard to close. Then suddenly I recalled that last time when I went to the toilet, I killed a lizard. I quickly opened the door and inspect it, Geeeeee… something waving near the hinges, my vision was blurred coz again no spectacles on. Looked closely… It’s a lizard’s tail. I inspected another end of the door, OMG… I squashed another lizard!!!!!!!!!! This time it’s half dead, struggling to stay alive, very pity… and I freaked out!!! I quickly ran to my mother and asked her to remove that struggling lizard… felt the shiver down my spine… and goose pimples on my arms. The lizard died at last… RIP!!!!

Here’s one cute story about the lizard.
There’s a lizard that always hangout around the rice cooker. Every time when we wanted to scoop the rice, it will come out and it really gave us some shocks. Every time, no miss… every meal time, it will come out to “greet” us. So my mom decided to feed it some rice. When some rice is given, it’ll go away and leave u in peace. So every time when we wanted to scoop the rice, it will pay us a visit. It will only go away after u offer it some rice.

So… that’s the end of the story of lizard and me.

MOTHER'S DAY [ ... ]-09.05.2004, Sunday
Nothing... no celebrations... it's just another day.

I do have sunburn! Only noticed it today coz skin at my forehead started to peel. Heheheh... I thought I didn't have any sunburn.

ONLINE ALBUMS [ ... ]-07.05.2004, Friday
Damai Day Trip's album is ready.
Ching San Yan's album is ready.
Kuching's album updated.
MISC2004's album is also updated.
I decided to remove one of the album,
Cookover(Video Version). It's taking too much space.

ACHES... [ ... ]-04.05.2004, Tuesday
OUCH...my shoulder aches... must be carrying heavy bag yesterday. My legs too... must be walking too much yesterday. Everyone seemed to have sunburn on their face, hands and chest. I don't but have pain here and there. I'm very lazy girl... lazy to exercise that's why got aches everywhere hahahhah...

Oh my... class started yesterday... not today... I haven't print out the notes yet, so many of them and haven't touch a single chapter yet. The notes isn't completed yet still have some parts missing, hopefully can print it tomorrow and start my studies on Thursday. Luckily I do not have classes, it's up to myself when I want to start my studies. This term subjects are not that easy compare to last term and it invloves lots of chapter and each chapters are so long. Hopefully can do well...

Still in the process of uploading all those photos... seems like these few days, I will be busy with uploading and downloading whenever I'm online.

DAMAI DAY TRIP [ ... ]-03.05.2004, Monday
"Irene, we're downstairs."
"What? I just took my bath... now still in my towel... you're here! It's not even 9:30am yet and I told you to pick me up at 10am. I haven't cook the chicken yet and I'm not ready yet!"
"I thought you're ready, so I just came without giving you a call 1st."
"I said 10am, it's still so early, of course I'm not ready yet."
(At the same time, my home phone rang, it's Ann)
"Ok... we'll go to find something to eat 1st, then we'll come back at 10am. Where can you recommend us to go to eat?"
"I don't know... find it urself, I have another phone call to answer, bye!"
(answered Ann's call)
"Irene, where do we meet?"
"Damai, the place where we went for an overnight trip last time. Call us when u're there."

What a rush morning. Quickly get myself ready and dumped the chicken wings into the oven to defrost. Then "grilled" it. Thought that it's cooked, but it's not, still had ice on it. Defrosted again then "grilled" again. Finally it's done 15 minutes. It's supposed to be 2 minutes only(that's what the instrcutions said on the packaging).

10am... Lee's finally here, second round... hahahah... Long time no see, Nick! Since 2003, no chance to meet him. We used the new Tanah Puteh Bridge, RM1.50, toll fee. It's quite fast to reach Petra Jaya. The bridge is beautiful, especially with the scenery of Kuching city.

When we reached Petra Jaya, Nick said he wanted to buy water at Choice Mall at Petra Jaya. We went there and alasssssss.... I forgot my purse... no money... no IC. I only brought my driving license(just in case need to switch driver, really don't trust Nick's driving). Well... Lee will pay everything for me ahahhahah... that's what he usually do whenever we're out and I always forget to pay him back... hahahah...


4km to Damai Beach, Ann called again... "Where are you guys?"
"
4km to Damai Beach."
"We're there at the parking lot already."
"Ok. we'll meet you there."

Finally we reached our destination. So many ppl... it's about 11am, if not mistaken. We went to the beach, found a shady place. Settled there and walked towards the beach. The sun wasn't out, so quite cool... sort of cloudy... Lee directly walked toward the sea, the 4 of us were not playing at the water, he played alone hahahhah... took lots of photos. Met Harvard, he went there with his friends, so I asked him to take the photo of 5 of us. After Lee's had enough of the sea, we went back to our spot and the sun came out. We buried Lee's legs under the sand and took photos of him with towel covering his nipples... ahahhah...

After that we just sat there and talking craps... hahahahah... it's good... nothing to do just talked, talked, talked. we had sandwiches that Lee had prepared. The sun was getting hotter and the tide was coming. It's king tide season, the water rose so fast. We walked up to the "lagoon" and we sat at the hut. Talking craps again... Ann found out that her little toe blistered. Pity her. Lee and I went to the "lagoon" to play, the three of them enjoying the seabreeze at the hut. We just play for a while and Ann and Foong left. Nick alone... smoking... one stick after another. Not long after Ann left, we got up from the water and talking craps again... hahaahh... the wind dry our wet body and clothes... I decided to follow my parents home coz they're there also, they came one hour later than us. Besides, they're going for dinner after that, so I just followed, if not I'll had nothing to eat for dinner if I followed Lee & Nick. So we went to change and I went to find my parents. Lee and Nick went home.

After the beach, my dad said it had been a long time didn't go to Ching San(Green Hill). So we went there. Took lots of picture there also, very nice temple and very nice scenery. Lots of ppl fishing there at the jetty.

After that, we went home. Thought that they'll go Buntal to eat, who knows... no... my brother tricked me!
Thought that after Damai would go to Buntal, it's not.

Reached Kuching, after cleaning ourselves, we went to Crowne Tower for dinner. Ordered set dinner, RM48. So full... went home, transfered all the photos to the computer. 10:30pm, went to bed... very tired...

The Best Photo Of The Day!(L-R)Lee, Nick, Ann & Foong, Me

(New online albums will be created with all the photos taken today, this entry is cross-posted in catscity.com)

NEW PHOTOS UPLOAD [ ... ]-01.05.2004, Saturday
Updated 5cience1 homapage, Kai Chen has new photo already. Found him in Friendster.com, I couldn't recognize him at first... he uses the nickname "Anson", not so sure is him, now I'm sure already.. stole his pic and update it there.

I had uploaded my latest photos, MISC2004.
New photos in Goldfish album.
New photos in Kuching album.

Might have new album added for Monday's picnic at Damai provided the plan isn't cancelled last minute.

Yipeeeeee... I'm now catscity.com moderator. Very funny is that I'm not even active in Tech Gadget discussion but I'm appointed to be the moderator for those topics.
