Honey Cornflakes

I've always had a huge penchant for honey cornflakes ever since the first time I let my taste buds relished it.

During my 6 day break back home, I asked Annie baby to bake honey cornflakes cookies with me..is it even considered cookies? haha.. anyhoo..we did and as usual it's yummy... As embarrassing as it sounds, honey cornflakes is the only thing I can bake. haha.. so,of course there'd be flaws right..
Ingredients
in a portion of
200g of butter or margarine
150g sugar
4 tablespoons of honey
200g cornflakes

Mix the butter, honey, and sugar then heat it in a saucepan..then just stir stir stir until its viscousity is percpetible.


The stove that is barely used.. Ian is the only one who usually cooks at home...


Then pour the mixture into errmmm the errmmm.... the thingy...

Then pour cornflakes it. We don't usually measure.. just assume.. =)

Stir stir stir...


Bake it in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celcius for 10 to 15 minutes until it turns golden brown. Then, done! Simple right...that's why I can bake it..hahah...but it didn't turn out flawless..

I gave some to him but I warned him before hand that it's pretty bad... but he insisted..

At night when we talked...

Him: .....ask you something k?
Me: Ok
Him: The price of oil had reduced is it? haha
Me: hahahahhhahahahahaha.... I used butter actually
Him: Oh...the price of butter then...
Me: haha...evil!

It was too oily...ahhahahahhaha... but I used expensive butter... don't know why it's so oily... but when my grandma made them..they were perfectly ok... hrrmpphh!! See,I'm not crafted to bake... =(

I'm Blue

Just got back home a while ago... Feeling kinda gloomy now.. Going back school again.. Astonishing how days hastily pass.. I didn't feel like I had enough of this holiday..then again..holidays are never enough...hehe...

Went out with him just now... I told him I wanted to go "Secret Garden" to have lasagna.. so he brought me there... Finally, after errmm quite some time.. I had lasagna.. haha.. sounds so pathetic... haha... I really really love Secret Garden... It's the place my friends and I always go for birthday celebrations.. The food's pretty nice and reasonable in price.

After that, we went to watch Zohan. On the way there, darling Isabel called!! Happy... We talked talked talked then I told her I was going to watch Zohan with him... she immediately said "omg Lynnie..it's freaking icky and horny..and you're watching with him...*breaks into her hysterical laugh*". haha...And it really was like what she said...hahaha... really hilarious...

Then after the movie, it was go home time.. SAD! And now I'm home.. That's all.. gonna keep this post short and simple...

Spaghetti + Mummy

I had my satiable plate of spaghetti for lunch in Causeway Bay Hong Kong Restaurant with him. It was really yummy yummy yummy. Chocolate milkshake to go with it. Sheer perfection. For me. =D
Bad lightings + incompetent camera=ugly picture but the food taste nice

After lunch, he asked me if I want to go for movies at night so yea we went for movies just now. Went to watch The Mummy:Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Lynn likes!! I love historical movies and although the history isn't exactly true as that of the reality, I still love it. I loveeee loveee loveee the Great Wall and particularly the Terracotta warriors.They're superbly adorable,don't you think? =D

I really love China's history. So freaking intriguing that it gets my adrenaline all pumped up to know more. Mum went Beijing last few months ago, she visited The Great Wall, once again, WITHOUT ME!!! ='( but she sent me an MMS when she was there but it wasn't clear. She replied me "It's The Great Wall,dear." when I asked what that was. Hrrrmmmphhhh..... so jealous!! Because before she went, I told her how badly I wanted to see the Great Wall and Terracotta warriors and the tomb of Shi Huang Ti if possible. Nevermind, I'll see that someday. I hope....no, I MUST!!!! =(((((

Anyhoo... I think it's a great movie. Relished it lots. I like the skeletons that resurrected in the end to vindicate. So adorable chiefly the part where one of the skeleton soldiers swung his sword around and accidentally chopped off the head of another skeleton soldier and the guilty soldier went to pick up the other's head to fix it back. I thought that was an explicit rib-tickling scene. hehe...


What's better is that he seem to know more or less about Chinese history. He told me he finds it interesting too. He was telling me more about the Qin Dynasty and about Emperor Shi Huang Ti. He told me he was poisoned to death because he wanted immortality but trusted treacherous aides so...bye bye lo. OooOo.... poor thing... After we watched Three Kingdoms last time,he further explained bout the history related to that movie. I love Chinese history and I like the fact that he knows more than I do.

How I wish I could go back just one day, a scanty one day to experience the life during one of those breathtaking dynasties era, dressing in those robe-like demure clothings but not being a servile slave or beggar or in that sort of caste of course.. that'll just be devastating. One hour experience also don't want. hehe...

21st August was indeed yet another ecstatic day. Grateful, I am.

That's all for today. Bed time.. Nighty night..


XOXO

Another Day Had Passed

I was really deprived of sleep for the past few weeks and my bed at home tempts me to stay on it; sadly,I was dragged out of dreamland several times by lil Annie but manage to doze back the first few times. As mentioned in previous post,I was suppose to go out with my sis...she vexes me so much that eventually I gave in and wake up..

We went Spring for a little shopping indulgence amid perambulation. It was then that I missed Isabel so much because it was somewhat like a weekend or fortnight routine for us to go Spring shop shop last time. hehe... Didn't shop much though.. hopefully there's time to go elsewhere to shop. So much stuff that I need to attend to.Time is the ultimate limiting factor to everything I have in mind now. sadness... =( Haven't started studying for my biology test on monday. To start, I haven't even gotten any book to study. haha..
Ann fascinated by the dragonfruit?? Weirdo sis. hehe..


One of my favorite place for food is "Food and Tea" so, earlier on I told my moomie and doodie to meet us there for dinner. Glutton, I ordered 2 of my favorite dishes and made my dad ordered something I wanted to eat too.haha.. Oh oh oh! I finally had the chocolate milkshake I long anticipated. But now I have an intense desire for pearl milk tea from "Cool" in 3rd mile. *Drools*
He's bringing me to have my favorite spaghetti tomorrow. Tummy's rumbling already.
My ambrosial chocolate milkshake. It's toothsome being not too sweet, not too tasteless.

Stir fried udon with chicken dice..looks wormy but it's pretty palatable. It was one of the few that Isabel and I used to order when we were working in Spring.

Smoked cheese and ham foccacia..me love! It may look ugly don't judge a book by its cover. But it's more like a snack than a filling meal.

The cheese baked rice I made my dad order so I can have a bit of it. And again...it looks ugly but not bad la.. Still prefer those at "Secret Garden"

Later at night, went grandma's place and the first thing grandma said to me was "you forgot grandma already is it? How come never call?" oOoO... I felt so bad... It's nice to see my little notorious cousins, Iva and Tyler. Warm myself there for 2 hours or so then went back home. Grandma insisted we stay on until the Korean series she was catching up finishes. That Korean drama called "Woman in The Sun" looks really interesting despite its rather sidesplitting title. hehe.. Moomie says she'll go get it for me because I told her I wanted to watch it when I'm back in Negeri 9.
Grandparent's place. I like the boisterous atmosphere there.

Little Iva on my lap.
I love grandma! ^^
Iva modeling her new clothes from her aunt.
My honey bunny,lil Tyler looking grotesquely at the pear. awhh.. I love him.



Just like that, felt like a glimpse and I'm a day closer to going back N9. (>.<)

Karaoke Date??

I'll let you guys in for a little treat of my social life. =p For the past week or so, quotidian, I'd constantly been telling him how much I'm craving for all those yummy scrump-tee-dee-umptious foods that I'd missed out ever since I set foot away from home. Well, actually there isn't many foods that I exceptionally have penchant for so he basically knows what satiates my taste buds.

Extremely elated to see him again although it's been only a meager 2 weeks or so but it feels so long. Our daily phone calls are adequately buffering the distance barrier. One thing I realize is that, he's becoming so much more sweeter and expressive after I left Kuching for studies. Like wise. =) Ooooo... maybe the old saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" is true?? haha... But I'm pretty skeptical bout that still. haha... Regrettably, as always, I was a tad shy around him... GRrrRRr!! I don't know why but it's like a reflex action, unconsciously automatically I'll just get shy... sigh!! On the phone, it's a whole new story... lack of shyness and inhibition... hehe.. so much more joyous.. ergh..how do I surmount my shyness? Help me! =(

The initial plan was to catch a movie since we had not had a cliche movie date for a considerably long period of time, but I changed my mind on the eleventh hour. Felt kind of tired and not really in the mood for movies. After he picked me up, he just drove us to Scoops without me insinuating anything. Really happy that he understands what I want cause I was actually thinking about ice-cream that time. hehe... Annoyingly, scoops didn't have any chocolate flavored ice-cream (the only flavor I like) so, I ended up ice-creamless but with Mock Sangria instead. Long time since I last had that too...I like the soury yet sweet taste and I remembered Ivanna likes them last time. If only drinks like that are obtainable in college area.

I was sitting in front of a wide mirror in Scoops so, ta-da..a subtle glimpse of him..hehe...
The Mock Sangria;its presentation isn't as eye catchy as it was before. It used to look and taste better but nonetheless, it's still better than drinks I've gulped in the past month.

There's barely any arguably delectable foods in college... Had been stuffing myself with fried rice and other fried stuffs so much that I dare surmise that a few more weeks of the trend would forward me to my early demise.


After chitty chatty in Scoops, he decided to bring us to a karaoke lounge or whatever it's called. It was my first time to a karaoke place. Haha... I was and probably still am an extreme couch potato so yea that reasoned it all. Once again, my bashful alter ego took charge so saliently I did not sing. hehe... he sang for like an hour and a half. Best of all, it was not at all an ear-soaring scene. He sings pretty alright. I like guys who can sing!! yay!!
mellifluousness..hahah...perhaps mediocre? My apologies, I'm being capricious..

Tomorrow it'll be sister day. Promised me sister I'll go out with her and all..Gonna go see grandparents too..woo-hoo..I love being back home with the presence of my loved ones. I LOVE HOME!! Like the Aussino theme or something which states "Home is where the heart is". heheh...

I'm Debilitated


I'm sitting down languidly in fatigue..PfffTtttt.... it's been a hectic week....assignments came pouring in one after another... deadlines racing up.. exams showing their cunning fists... my heart palpitate to the madness ticks of the clock; insinuating the shortage of time. Oh God,help me.

I just sat for my Sociology test this morning. Relieved that it's over. But, last night was a hell of a bleak moment. Damn it! When I got back here on Wednesday evening, I had to do my previous week's Biology report in unrelenting alacrity. It was tedious and if I was to be left without munificent help from my friends, I swear I'd be stripped off my own skin and left to wallow in distress. Amid that, I had to complete my ENL assignment to be handed in the very next day(Thursday). I saw my brother online and without vacillating, I asked him to do my assignment. He did and I'm super thankful but it just doesn't comply with all those painstaking criteria wanted by my teacher for academic writing. So, I ended up doing it on my own. Headed to bed only at 4.45am and woke up at 7+ for class.

Yesterday, I had to rush through 4 chappies of Sociology to prepare for the test today. I read through all those chappies before but somehow they all seem so foreign when I went through once again. It took me like 2 hours for each chapter. I don't have 8 hours for revision!! Besides, my biology report was still hanging dreadfully on thin air. Grimace colored my face last night. I absolutely abhor my inexorable fate last night. My mind was so screwed thinking of socio and bio and failure. Shhooooshhh....sickening.... Fatin would come talk to me at intervals telling me relax and joke a little to bring me some solace and Anna would tell me what I can omit and what I should take note. I love both of them. In the end, I managed to revised 3 chappies although it's more like regurgitating what I read...no time to understand it...Report completed too.. PheeWwww.... The remaining chapter,I just flipped through to comfort myself a little but nothing came out from that chapter. Yay! Totally comforted. hehe... The test is pretty scary because I don't know what archetypal answers the professor is looking for and sociology is an extremely ambiguous subject to me cause personal perspective is of high importance and numbskull me got minimal common sense.haha... I feel that my answers are always vacuous and mundane. I don't know la... sigh... I hope I did ok... but people say this professor's marking is strict and there's scarcely anybody who can score well. Oh yea, I slept at 5.40am and woke up at 7am. You feel my grief??


Fatin captured the moment.


The ludicrous book

Biology assignment is calling out for me now...Upon completing one Bio report,I have a new one to work on...wonderful isn't it? And I have to polish up on my calculus..exam this coming Wednesday. SAT verbal and maths awaits..exam's next Monday. BUT BUT BUT... after these pain in the neck, I'm going home!!! It's term break... yay!!! So, I shall tenaciously persevere through these banes. But...(I detest buts) I would have to study during the holidays for the incoming Biology test.

More Gifts Ideas

I just got home... feeling melancholy now... going to leave Kuching for Nilai again tomorrow... since it's past 12am...later... boo-hoo... to brighten myself up.. I went on searching for more cute stuffs that I'll go head over heels for... and the nominees are.... *drum rolls*.....

p/s: All these stuff are real ok..their functions serves their purposes... they're not toys.. =)

I'm a huge Disney fan but up till the point of the Disney Princess era you know... Sleeping Beauty and all those... not quite a fan of the Totally Spies era. Anyhoo... I found a couple of really eye catching Disney adorable gizmos.. I lurrrrvvveeeee......

First,it's the

MICKEY MOUSE ICE SHAVER
Cool isn't it? My sis is so gonna love this. She loves Mickey like mad. With this little cutie, you can enjoy snowflakes ice-cream. Sounds sweet doesn't it? It comes in a reasonable price of US $32.97. Pretty ok right? I'm so in love with all these cute stuff that I can use to make snacks I love. I love the machine and I love the food. Awwwhhh.... super wistful now.... (>.<)

Next,it's the


Mickey Mouse Popcorn Popper



I've a penchant for popcorn especially at the movies. Movies and popcorns are like two peas in a pod. Should always be together. And this little portable popcorn popper can help me do just that. I love being a couch potato lying on the sofa;eyes glued to the tv and hands moving from popcorn bowl to mouth. Love that but sadly I don't own a popcorn popper yet. Sadness... Anyhoo... the clear dome can be used as the popcorn bowl as well. This stout popper serves a fine US$44.97.

Well,if you find that a little too childish (which I don't..hehe..)...check this out....
This looks pretty cool too... I'm really attracted to miniature stuff. Any small stuff but has the ability to function like those bigger machineries... I love!!!! Albeit,all these cute stuff, the pink ice-cream machines reigns... it's above all my ultimate favorite item. Must have it must have it. Anyway,this poppiecornie popper stands for USD39.97. This is quite a bargain even after converting to Ringgit.

That's about all of the stuff that I've always been searching here in Kuching but never find. Hopefully serendipity hopes into my life someday in finding these little cuties in a reasonable price here in Kuching so mum cannot give me excuses on not getting them for me. hehehe..

My Wistful Ideas for Gifts

Just completed my ENL assignment so browse the net for some stuff that I'm always wistful about in my head.. hehe... I like cool modern gadgets like ipods,camera and stuff but nothing beats these sweethearts!! It may be incomprehensible for guys but girls would... I'm wistful because of all these....

Number 1 in my list is a.........................

LOVELY CUTE PORTABLE ICE-CREAM MACHINE
isn't she a beauty?? It was love at first sight as I lay eyes on it.. Imagine all the chocolate ice-cream of my choice that I can devour every single minute of my life... awwhhh.... how exuberating... My notorious lil cousins would bow down before me pleading for ice-cream..muahahah.. It'll be play time for my sis and I.. Oh! So much fun... I'm starting to build castle in the air again...hehe.. I'll hint moomie and doodie prior to Christmas. This sweetheart cost US$ 99.95. Girls who love confectioneries, don't tell me you're not attracted to it.

Number 2 on my list is the....

SUPER QUAINT-LOOKING COTTON CANDY MACHINE

Talking about cotton candy reminds me of Ivanna. Her nickname was cotton candy and she's more pinkaholic than anybody I know off. This machine is so her then. It's so cute right? Who dare defy it's cuteness?? (>.<) It'll be center of attraction if you have a kid's party or just any party. I'm sure most people at the party would be thrilled to try make their own cotton candy. haha... the "sakainess".. hehehe... This darling here on the other hand cost a hefty US$ 199.99. sob sob... I gotta let this go but I will always muse on it.

Number 3 on my list is the.......

UNRELENTING CANDY CRANE MACHINE

This piece of gizmo may not look as fancy and attractive as the other 2 stuffs I muse on but I find this pretty cool and the reason why I say it's unrelenting is because this crane machine thingy is hard to control which makes it that much more fun. hehehe... This machine could help me kill boredom at home but definitely will cause rage within myself. haha.. She comes with a price of US$34.95.

There's still so much more cute stuff that makes me wistful but I don't have the time to look for them right now as I need to visit the doctor again. I'll continue my list soon.. See ya folks!

XOXO

This is For Mr Everything's bout Respect

My darling friends...this post is just for me to vent my anger and animosity for this certain someone whom I hate so so so so so much now. I've never actually hated anybody...dislike maybe but never to the extend of hatred but now I dare say I hate him....As I remember,my darling Rachael Goh would always say ,"Hate is a strong word".haha So..read on if you want to..ignore this would be a better choice but I'm sure most of you would go for the former.. Curiosity never fails to get the better of us.. haha...

Anyway... this guy as I first known him...wow...perfect gentleman ohh.. what a facade he put on now when I think about it. Ergh!! He approach me with really captivating pickup line.. and then we got to know each other better... he was really superbly nice... those innocent good boy kind you know..polite,chivalrous and all... gosh...all he protrudes outside helps him maintain his veneer inner beauty thingymajiger... ergh... I get all seethed up upon recalling who he really is and his trickeries and now I know he is actually far from a gallant gentleman of how he portrayed himself.. he doesn't seem to show respect to girls yet he's always emphasizing bout respect and all those bullcraps! It scares me too when I recall how sadistic and vengeful of a guy he is; always seeking for vengeance and retaliation later in the future. It's really creepy. My dad told me to break off all connection from him. How could I be so blind and not realize his true colors earlier but I totally support the old saying "better late than never". Our friendship ended eons ago but the disgust I have of him remains.

I'm Home!!!

I'm home...in Kuching... it's so sososososossoosso nice to be home.. my goodness...

The reason why I'm home so abruptly is cause I fell sick.. haha.. I had fever,sorethroat,cough and flu since monday night...went to visit the doctor in Nilai but he's medicine does no miracle..made me feel worse actually.. skipped 2 days of class...so worried bout calculus now... boo hoo... the fever comes and goes like nobody's business.. crappy laaa.... so freaking annoying.. one moment I feel better the next I feel like I'm boiling. On Wednesday,I completely lost my voice.... tried talking but it was so difficult to bring the voice out. Somehow,the news about me being sick spread to quite a number of people.. so people would ask me if I feel better... I had to answer in whispers and the funny thing is...hahahha... they would then answer me in whispers too... funny...

On Thursday night...mummy asked if I want to come back home for the weekends... I hesitated cause there's so much work to be done... but at midnight... I woke up from sleep feeling terrible... fever was killing me.. so I called dad telling him I wanna come back home on Friday so here I am...HOME!! Happy happy joy joy!! Still a bit sick now.... drowsy drowsy after the medicine.. Grandma and mum forced me to gulp weird weird chinese herbal supposedly miraculous drinks... gosh..horrid... lucky I have flu so my taste buds aren't at tiptop condition... pheww...

Ohh when I was sick back in Nilai,my friends took care of me so well especially Anna(roommate) and Fatin(classmate). Anna bought me food and made sure I had my medicine and all... Fatin staying in 2nd floor would come up to check on me every once in a while and get me cold towel to put on my head.. They accompanied me to the clinic too... Madonna and Jia Lerd were the ones who told the security guard to arrange transportation to the clinic. Others came to ask if I was feeling better. The security guard aunty was really sweet. She came up to my room to check on me.
Anna and Fatin


At home,dad took care of me exceptionally well... he'll get me water and medicine on time... get me food....massage me..get me wet towel...get me fruits..constantly checking my condition..anything that I want but was too lazy to walk..he'll go get them for me... hehe...then last night he stayed up to look after me cause my fever got bad again last night... all these made me miss my life back home.. and the thought of going back is slightly saddening...

Oh yea!! I love my bed at home!! So niceeeee!!! The bed in school...hahhahaha... can feel the springs poking me sometimes...hahha...but I'm contented with what I have there..don't get me wrong... hehe...

And seeing my sister is a bliss... she's so studious...i hate her...hahahha... she's so hardworking.. wish i could be like her... so diligently studying... grRrrrRRrr!! and she's studying now.. -_-"
