Eh... Some narcissistic bastards think that they are so good looking and everyone is gladly to be fucked so strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with our dressings.
BTW I didn't get shagged by that horny head.

*I think* they do love me...

Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten so many surprises + celebration from them.
One after another, I almost couldn't take it.
Well, pathetically speaking, in my life, I haven't had so many of it in such a short period!

Alright.
I am rummaging through my memories, it happened 2 weeks ago, and memories do fade through passage of time. I need time to recollect the pieces. Aiks, if not for the procrastinating nature born with me.

1) Lavazza's
This is totally unexpected. Of course, it was a surprise, as I said.

I wrote about it here.

2) Sakae Sushi's
This is a fake celebration, according to them.
It is just a smokescreen in preparation for the coming surprises.

So the same clique, 3 of them, Jia Liang, Toby and Kin Chung treated me lunch as a so called celebtration at Sakae Sushi.
And I thought they wouldn't do anything anymore after that.

Opaque smokescreen they had it until I couldn't see the truth behind the it at all.

3) Taman Mutiara's residential area
This is quite funny I should say.

We gathered not for my birthday, albeit it was my birthday eve.

We were sending off one of the Hamka members, Rip (Ripdaman in full) who would be serving in Canada.

Buay Rip!

Rip will be good.
No worries lah.

Since it was quite early after sending him off, we decided to head to somewhere to watch fireworks.
Initially, we planned to go to the Look Out Point area, BUT there comes two problems.
1) it was Merdeka eve, we assumed that we had to jam all the way up to the hill.
2) Toby would wish to spend the Merdeka eve with his crush Yen Yee (hello any of you reading here?), and it would take about 20 minutes to crash the initially destined Ampang area from Yen Yee's place, it was 11.30pm when we made all the decisions and it was more than a speculation that we couldn't make it on time.

In the end, we decided to change the fireworks watching point to Yen Yee's residential area, a place of which we could have a equal bird-eye view of the city.

Toby and I went to pick Yen Yee up while the people from the other car, driven by Jia Liang, told Toby that they would want to get Oblong burger to have a picnic supper at the hill.

(sidenote: when asked, Toby told me that Oblong stands for Obviously Long,.
=.=
And I believed.

Er... Don't tell me that you believed like I did?)

So clock stroke 12am, and disappointingly, there weren't much fireworks around.
Individual fireworks could be spotted blossoming here and there in a lonely fashion.
Silent Merdeka celebration we had there. Sigh.

Alright I was ranting and babbling to an Aunty of how few fireworks this year when I heard someone singing from my back.

And I saw a familiar scene - Jia Liang, with a cake on his hand, leading the same clique, coming on my way.
The only difference is that the glamorous square Opera cake was then replaced by a simple round chocolate cake, decorated with a National flag which we got it at KLIA (happy Merdeka!); and the birthday song was taken over by our national anthem, Negaraku. Oh yea, how patriotic!!

That was, again, totally unexpected lah.
I remembered my self hiding my face in my hands, in a similar fashion of what I did in Lavazza's.
Really, how could one have so many surprises in such a short period?
Am I blessed or what?
Yea I shouldn't be too arrogant, that might just be a by the way act but see, I get satisfied very easily, even a by the way act was able to delight me.
Plus, I shouldn't have asked much - they, afterall, had celebrated for me few days before that!

That simple act, has truly made my night.

Oh wait, maybe it's not that simple afterall.

It wasn't easy for them to get a cake at that hour, and they were able to get one from Tesco, which operated until midnight.
I don't know whose brilliant idea was that, but thank you lah kawan~~

4) Zouk Cafe
It was a planned celebration and I knew that my friends gathered for my birthday.
Yen Yee, Hwai Li and Yen Ying were already there when I reached that place.

So ordered food, chit chatted, dee dee daa daa, and I expected it to be an end already.

So you could guess what happened next.

That familiar scene appeared before me again.

Someone was holding the cake, leading a bunch of people, singing the birthday song, coming on my way.

The difference of this with the previous two surprises were that, I saw a few unexpected faces..
I never thought that they would be there!

Alright, I know that Xiao Funn, who gave me a pair of beautiful Quaver earrings would be invited, her absence might due to her usual busy schedule....but Mei Yi! My soulmate! I never expected her to be there!
Don't think too much - it was not that something unpleasant happened between Mei Yi and Yen Yee + friends, they simple were not that close.

Much thanks to the sweetest Yen Yee who organised everything!!

Oh and!! That bunch of guys whom I had seen them for *I can't recall how many times* in a roll.
I thought it was just a girls' night out!

Anyway it was much like a girls' night out because the hens were gathered at one table while the bulls at another. There were not much of interactions between the two genders. Sometimes it's just too difficult to get every single person involved at the same time due to the location.

Usual practices. We normally pen down the greetings on the spot.Hwai Li.
Yeng Chern who gifted me a pair of treble clef earrings.
Whooiyoh my pals really know me!!!

Last but not least, boys at the next table writing the greetings.
***

Phew. Surprises no more.
The one at Zouk's marked an end to my 23rd birthday.
I thought I was lucky and blessed to have spent my 21st birthday with the most beautiful fireworks I have ever seen.
I thought I was lucky and blessed to have spent my 22nd birthday in an unusual place last year.

I was pleased and I didn't expect much for my 23rd.
Now I am truly delighted, knowing that there is a bunch of people who appreciate my birth.

Thank you mom! For giving birth to me!!

Just because I don't like to be too cheesy

I decide to push down the previous post with some total random stuff.

Present to you,
the best of Chung Shang Hui













Good if you are still keeping the thought that you wanna bring me home.

If I ever died

It's 3am in the morning and I sound like a person who is attempting to commit suicide.

Hell no.

If I ever died suspected suicide, it must be a smokescreen.
Someone is trying to escape liability by making it a suicide case.
I can assure you that I will never end my life with my own hands.

Why would someone want to kill me in the first place?
Mistaken identity is the most sensible reason but since he/she plans so much to murder me he/she should have properly identified me because sending me to death.
So taking that into account, I would not by any chance be murdered.

Jeez. I have gone too far.

So my family members and kawan-kawan sekalian,
if I ever died,

1. Don't send me wreaths
Which girls don't fancy flowers?
I am a big fan of flowers'. I love receiving flowers, like any other girls in the world.
But I hate to see them dying.
It's so helpless and so hopeless.
You can't do anything to remedy the situation.
K la why do I talk about things when I am alive.

Back to death.
It's really sweet to express your condolences and loves and respects with wreath but it would be such an epic waste in the end.
Those flowers would be dumped anyway.
Since I'm dead, I wouldn't know it.
*side note: yes. So give it to me when I'm alive, when I can see it, feel it, smell it, mourn for its death*
I would rather you guys use the equivalent amount of money to serve the charitable purpose.
It helps both you and I, plus the garbage cleaners, and the society too.

2. Try to make me beautiful - naturally
Who doesn't want to die in a beautiful way?

Nevertheless people, I don't want cakey powdery make up.
Try to make it as natural as possible.

Can the artists use those products I have been using?
Or our skin condition would be different if we were dead?

Just... for those who are taking charge of it, I would prefer nude make up - at least it won't run out of date. Smokey eyes are for clubs - so, please don't do that. Make reference to the mineral eyeshadows I'm current using, the one consist of beige, brown and army green if you have no idea what is earthy.
Keep the blush light too, as when I'm alive now, I don't usually apply blusher.
Of course you will have to draw the eyebrows for me, please feel free to trim them if you think that it's necessary to do so. Don't make them too thin though. Still, make it natural.
Ah as for the lips, I don't want any sexy chilli red nor barbie hot pink. Pinky peach would do.

I still wanna look like myself even if I'm wearing make up.

As for the costume, I think I shall go for black.
I actually quite like the basic black tee I have recently bought - you may go for that.
I would love to wear a skirt of medium length - by that I mean at least 5 inches above knee length (yes some of you are trying to see how long is 5 inches). I am thinking of high-waisted but then I think it will be out of date leh.
Haiyah forget it, let's just go for jeans. It's good for every age. It doesn't make any sense if I am still wearing my skirt at my age of 40.
What about my shoes? I need a pair of comfortable footwear. A pair of pumps would do. Please don't make me wear 3-inches, although I have often been spotted wearing them.

I think I will need to make an update for every decade as fashion develops rapidly.

3. Donate my usable organs
Please. I think I have healthy organs - I seldom drink, I have never smoked,
oh wait,
I stay up late, but that doesn't affect much I guess.
It would be such a waste if they were to be burnt - well, they would subsequently become ashes and gone with the wind,
it's not that you are gonna take them as meals or what (GROSS) so just put them into use la.
I could save lots of life by you making that decision alright.
(Yes I still have not signed myself up for that)

4. And if you attend my funeral
Feel free to make noise. The merrier the better.

Feel free to miss me, but show some respect la, keep the gossips until the funeral is over.
Smile when you are looking at me through the coffin, I have the tendency to cry when I see others crying too (yes la so if you don't want to see tears dropping from the corner of the eyes of a corpse's, you better smile.)

Oh wait.

I have to tendency to smile when others smile to me too. Ew creepy la if I smile to you through the coffin. But still, you can't be not smiling just because of this factor. Smile. Not grin, not smirk, but smile. Don't force and fake it though - I want true smilse. (walao such a demanding dead woman)

Well you know, I'm not afraid of death - the future might be vague (well I have no one to clear my sins for me because Jesus Christ is not in my dictionary [don't feel offended. Freedom to religions k?] and I might have to account for what I have done in my lifetime - that is the belief in Buddhism) , but yet I have no fear for that.
I am more afraid of departure with my family and friends.
No one would deny that it is painful to lose your loved ones. (I believe that I am considered as so for some of the people out there, at least, for my family and my high school bffs - not the paris hilton type)
It is cruel to see someone crying for you when you can do nothing about it.
This is what I do not want to happen.

...

My mind is kinda messed up now.
I shall sleep early to keep my organs healthy so they are capable of being used by some other people.
Wow the clock reads 3:42 am yes la I have been writing this post for 42 minutes.
Shall catch some sleep now.

Yeap people, try your best to comply with my wishes in the event of my death.

PaD - Tutu

I'm not quite of a girly girl, if you know me well.

I wouldn't have bought it if not for the performance in the prom night.
I didn't get to use it though.
I've changed it to some collared-shirt and vest and shorts and tights.

I am that kind of person who doesn't like to waste stuff (although I bought the skirt for only RM15).
I don't want to abandon it into the closet for only displaying purpose,
hence I put it into use.

This is a legendary picture for the following reasons -
First I don't wear a tutu skirt.
(well, I used to wear it when I was still learning ballet though.
Nevertheless that is obligatory)
Second, I seldom take pictures of my full body in that way because I always feel that I am fat.
Third, I rarely take pictures at four in the morning.

Well, it's indeed a good thing that I finally had to chance to wear it,
(lalalalala no more waste of money)
which I paired with a long tops and studded belt,
and successfully reduced the girliness of the skirt~

Magically, tutu skirt makes me look slimmer than usual. =)

Addiction

I *kinda* understand smokers now.

After living in this world for 22 years,
I finally realise that I am actually a food addict.

So I had my proper dinner. Mmm. Kinda satisfied.
Then, I walked out of the living room, and my sight laid on those CNY cookies which are stored in those transparent containers with the red covers.
See, since it is on the coffee table, basically it is meant for the guests, not for me.

Next, the struggle started.
I ought to have some dessert, whispered one side.
No, I am full. I couldn't take anything anymore, countered the other.

Guess who won?

*Well, needless to say, I took up the container with my left hand,
opened the cover with my right one,
and gracefully put the cover onto the coffee table,
then... dived my hand into the container,
took one of the London cookies,
and put it into my mouth.*

Ultimate satisfaction.

No. I was lying.
I failed to achieve the so called ultimate satisfaction.
My greed and desire overshadowed my rationality and determination to lose weight.

I eyed on the other container, which contained of pineapple tarts.
*repeat the part with asterisks.*

Am I satisfied yet?

Well, you have guessed it.

My sight then locked onto the one with almond biscotti.
I put down the container with the pineapple tarts,
and *repeat the part with asterisks*

I just cannot help it.
Well I know that I can't equate sugar to nicotine,
but basically the withdrawal symptoms are similar.

Seriously, I need to be put into some rehabilitation centre,
until I get rid of my addiction to sugary stuff.

New Year's Resolution!!!

Who said a resolution can't be made during Chinese New Year??
Yeap, when everyone is writing about CNY and the V's day,
I opted for this thing which have long written by the others.

2 months later than the others,
no wonder I'm slow in everything.

(Fact: I was too lazy to make it during new year)

It's almost the same as last year's though (I think. I don't have good memory)

I will really stick to them I swear. (I always contradict myself though)

1. Less cyber loitering
2. Lose weight (Cook less. Bake less. Eat less)

Update: (may have more updates)
3. Less vulgarities (whether in verbal form or in written form)

(shall I put start studying in?)
No. I will study anyway.
It shan't be made a resolution.

I think that's all.

Man I'm so ambitious.
Chung Shang Hui make sure you keep it

Life can be simple, yet good

It all depends on how you see it.

I was waken by Greenie - nay he doesn't cock nor meow nor bark - it just walked around the leaves - leaving the shee-shee-sha-sha sound.

I then stared at the ceiling, and thought: hey... things have finally come to an end.

Really, never had I feel so relief before.
(just a figure of speech.
I felt much relief upon the ending of my exam)

All of the sudden, the surroundings have become so beautiful.

I didn't know drinking warm 3-in-1 Spirulina oat can be so satisfying for breaking the fast.

I didn't know the combination between my fake music notes and the view from my window can be so harmonically matched.

I didn't know reading some bimbo magazines on my bed early in the morning can be so relaxing.

I didn't know flipping through my organiser and reading the little secrets from it can be so heartwarming.
(yes if you able to steal my organiser you will get to know most of my secrets.)

Seriously, life is good - if you think that it is.

Good day ahead =)

The RM2.50 difference

Sounds like the slogan of some charity ad.

But no.
So, me and my sister bought some wall stickers,
which cost us RM2.50 each from the night market.

I should have taken a picture of the clean wall before sticking the flowers but I didn't do so because I was too eager to put them onto my wall.

Nah, here's a random picture of my sister playing cards on my bed, with the clean wall as background.
Not too clear though.

And here, the end result~

Yes, my sister even purposely bought cotton candy in order to create nicer effects.

'Like that only got feel ma...' According to her.


And look~
I even took the initiative to change my bed sheet to maximise the color coordination~~

...
Wallflowers~
Literally~
Yes I know,
there is imperfection.
I couldn't find another pillow sheet of the same series...

Hmm...
Still not too bad ya???

(p/s: I have the feeling that something has gone really wrong with the phrase 'a wind ceows so cooe...' but I just blindly sticked them on in accordance to the sample...)

It's a girl's car

So obvious okay?

Tell me which guy would stick falsies on the dashboard?

Well.. was sicked with the falsies the other night hence pulled it off once I got on the car.
Found that it's quite a quaint, hence left it there.

Me is at...

Somewhere ulu.

And me is lovin' it~~~=.=
as if never seen pineapple before.

(small voice: yeama. Really never seen baby pineapple with purple flowers ma)
(p/s: show you guys some day later. In different cam)

Continue when am home~

While waiting...

It's been so long since the last time I took proper pictures.

If I keep on doing this, I guess I will age 10 times faster than others.

This is why I'm fat

Background music: minus one version of Mim's This is Why I'm Hot

*sing*
this is why I'm fat,
this is why I'm fat,
this is why, this is why I'm fat.
I'm fat cause I eat,
You ain't cause you don't,
This is why, this is why I'm fat.
(accompanied with some act-cool rapper style nods)
Yea. Cheesecake brownies, got the recipe from the Philadelphia website.
*lalala extra brownie points for me this is the first time I baked brownies and this is the first time I made the swirl and it turned out very beautiful.*

Okay. It definitely tastes much better than how it looks.
(die die wanna cover the fact that it looks ugly)

This is why. Am fat.

*****************************************
Yea. It's about food again.
Sien or not??
You might feel sien but I will never get bored with food lor.
(and this is why I'm fat).

And I feel that ever since I picked up baking, I become more and more aunty-ish.
I paid frequent visits to the grocery store, and I'm loving it.
The comparison of price, sad to say, do excites me.
And I remember I got so high when I visited Cold Storage,
(haiyoh, who would have visited that when I can opt for Giant Tesco Econsave which is more economically friendly????)
because I saw lots of new products that I have never seen in Giant Tesco Econsave.

And when I ran out of sugar, I would head immediately to the nearest convenient store to get it- without even bother to change the super loose t-shirt and 10-buck-pasar-malam shorts which were dusted with flour and cocoa powder.
I couldn't look more auntier with the eco-friendly bag I brought along.

And I just love creaming folding crushing blending (not forgetting eating),
the chemical reactions which happen between the materials simply giving me thrills.
While baking, I even listen bossa nova version of the contemporary pops instead of the original ones which definitely sound younger.

Isn't this sad?
When other 22-year-olds are blogging about parties happenings dance alcohols,
me talk about food.

Instead of a vision of me baking for my sons and my daughters,
Sometimes I have the vision of me (a 90-kg aunty) baking for my nieces and nephews,
who are playing around in the kitchen and keep on repeating aunty!aunty! I want this!! and asking silly questions like aunty! aunty! what are you doing? when it is clear that I am cutting the brownies for them,
because I am too keen to try on new recipes in the kitchen until I have forgotten to go out and mix around and socialise with people and hence I wouldn't be able to expand my social circle hence miss the chance to bump into my Mr. Right hence I would be single for the rest for my life hence I will have nothing better to do in the future because I am single hence I have to babysit my nephews and nieces when my brothers and sisters are working and paktohing with their spouses.

Duh.

Fine. Am only 22 years old.
Think too much, I know.

Anyway,
I always post up food because I think they look more pleasant than I do (I mean it!).
This time, am gonna make the most pleaant look ever,
the conventional definition of beauty is to have big eyes sharp nose small lips sharp chins and porcelain skin right????

Nah. Here go.Sigh still can't go off from the aunty look (who is just injected with botox) despite having big eyes sharp nose small lips sharp chins porcelain skin beceause of the aunty hairstyle like that and the aunty loose t-shirt I hve mentioned just now.

Suan le ba.
Aunty then aunty la.
*takes a bite on the brownies*
*continue singing this is why I'm fat*

Start with T, end with O

Definitely not TO. =.=
Another clue: six letters.

Ceh. Easy game. Got the answer yea?
More soon. Sleepy now.
Ciaoz.

Smile

I think I am the only girl with braces who doesn't mind exposing those little metals in such an unglam way.

Oh there's another girl who also smiles expressively despite the fact that she is wearing braces... Ugly Betty. She's a fictional character anyway.

Btw these pictures were taken in the Law Asia Conference Gala Dinner. Okay will post up more soon.
I was smiling gracefully in the rest of the pictures, hence they are not qualified to be posted in this entry.

Bear with my insanity people. You know me, don't you?

*Sigh why am I still not behaving myself at my age of 21... haiz...
Seriously, a 21-year-old should have smiled more beautifully, more ladylike... no??*

Anyway. Smile, people. It's not the end of the world.
