Story of my life...

Things haven't been so great lately - bad luck came pouring like the tide of the Amazon River since last week. I've been going WTF at basically, every single tiny-weeny thing in sight. Let me tell you just what I went through - from good to bad...

First of all, I've gotten myself a Paddington Bear handbag from Guardian because I've been wanting it so badly - eh, it's for FREE, okay? I redeemed it!



Few days later, my brother suggested we should get a Christmas tree since both of us wouldn't be able to go home for Christmas this year. So, we spent RM120 on the tree and some decorations...



Yes, the tree is white and not green because we want something different from previous years of having green Christmas trees. Well, the tree is pretty alright and when the lights go on, it's even prettier... lemme show you...




Pretty, right? Actually, I was being a cheapskate, trying to influence my brother to get a RM4.99 mini lights and it turned out to be spoiled and we opted for the multi-coloured one at RM24. So much of a difference!

Since our holidays started last week, we had a meet up with Aminah Too at Red Box, Low Yat Plaza for karaoke session...



Too bad PX wasn't able to make it to KL that weekend or else we would be having a blast of a family gathering! I miss PX a lot honestly - she's been so quiet these days and never reply SMSes as well. I guess when people start dating, they'll be MIA.

Then, bad luck came pouring in... I had a terrible acne breakout since July. I'm very much aware of it so, I bought a lot of products including Biotherm and Clinique but those two couldn't help much even to ease my stupid mushrooming acnes. MCB acnes!

So, Amy called me up for a FREE RM280 worth of treatment at The New York Skin Solutions at The Curve last Thursday. I did not hesitate because it was FREE and I needed consultation...



After which we had done our 2-hour treatment, we were being shown of our skin conditions before and after the treatment...



Above is the picture of Amy's skin, not mine - I actually didn't take a picture of mine. The left picture is the external while the right is the internal. Pretty scary, huh? I almost jumped at mine and I told Amy I would quit eating for a month because it was so gross!

Okay, bad luck again - my brother's gotten one of his four tyres pancit. We still are not sure how it happened and it costs us RM500 to get both of the tyres at the back changed at Proton Service Center and because of that, both of us are in pokai mode now.



Is there any kind soul out there who's willing to sponsor RM500 for us? Sigh... keluar dari mulut harimau, masuk ke mulut buaya.

Basically, that means more bad luck if you don't know.

Since both of us were not feeling so good about the thing, we've decided to cook something nice to compensate all the bad luck we've been through, thus...



Chilli crabs! Yes, we're going to get our cholesterol levels high because we actually ate crabs twice in a week!

Who cares?

We are in terrible moods and only food could cure, NOT all but just half of it!

And today, I had a big argument with my stupid sister and mum because of some petty misunderstanding my sister caused. The misunderstanding happened all because of how my stupid sister interpreted messages wrongly!

Sometimes, I do wonder if I fail at being an elder sister. I'm just so tired that I wish I don't have to care whatever my sister wants to do.

A little bird told me...

"This guy that you've known is so special that you'd never imagine how special he'll be..."

Well, the little bird is right because he is a very special guy with a very special personalities and characteristics on his own...

Sometimes, he's quite unpredictable...

Since I'm someone who is kinda predictable, he could almost read my mind and at the very next moment, he'll jump up at me and scream, "Caught ya! I know you too well!"

Well, since we are like the direct opposite of each other, there are times when I would disagree with him and there goes the same to him - disagreeing with me as well. I can never remember what our decisions would be at the end of the day because of the contrast between us. We would always make up after that and that's the thing I love about this guy.

On my birthday, he made me cry!

No, not because I was mad or anything - I was crying out of joy! When the clock struck 12 midnight, I got a call from him, instead of the usual hello-greeting, I heard, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Angel, happy birthday to you."

My goodness, I couldn't stop my tears because HONEST, that was the very first time somebody did something as meaningful as that! Gosh... I couldn't express how grateful I was at that point of time!

When the next day came, I was expecting something like a bed-sheet from him but I ended up receiving something more meaningful than that - a moon-stone pendant! OMG... I never expected that and the present came on my birthday itself!

I love, love, love my pendant so, so, so much!

So... today is his birthday...

I couldn't do the same, well, first of all, that wouldn't be a surprise and secondly, I can't find myself singing in front of him - I don't know why. Perhaps, I sound like a frog!

Edwin, aherm... I can't express how grateful I am to have somebody as special as you in my life and thanks for endlessly being there and finally...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Merry Christmas!

Welcome to the gang and love you heaps!

When it fails...

My gawd!

I almost puked!

What the heck?!

In response to my previous entry about cosmetic surgeries, Harisu and Yuna, I'm going to share with you guys my discovery that almost made me puke!

MCB... I was happily reading Xiaxue's most recent entry while I was eating my lunch and when I scrolled down to the last picture, I puked! No, it has nothing to do with Xiaxue, in fact, I love the way she blogs.

Okay... it happened like this... I was nearing the end of Xiaxue's entry when I saw the picture below...


I was thinking, "OMG... this girl looks like those girls in manga - pretty, not bad."

As being instructed, I hovered my mouse over to the picture, waited a moment before the picture showed it's true colour!

MCB, that was the moment I puked!


I'm not being mean but it was so unexpected! 'She' looks like a tranny and out of so many trannies that I've seen, this is obviously the ugliest - thick foundation, single-coloured eye-shadow without proper blending and all!

Shit...

Out of curiousity, I checked out 'her' friendster profile and all her pictures - YUCKS! I don't think I can eat up my dinner tonight... that person totally spoiled a girl's reputation!


MCB, 'she' totally doesn't know how to BEHAVE like a lady! She's showing off her assets like no tomorrow and fuck, I can't stand going through those pictures!

I've nothing against tranny but at least go and fix the face! Yucks!

This is the result of a FAILED cosmetic surgery!

P/S - Pictures taken from 'her' friendster profile and also Xiaxue's blog. Check out her blog!

Oh, mama!

I hate it when I go down the road and notice a girl - prettier, curvier and sexier than me. For like since young, I've been dreaming to become prettier, curvier and sexier but that dream of mine will never comes true this lifetime - not ever.

I went to Mungo Jerry, a quite famous bak kut teh restaurant along Chow Kit Road the other day with my brother and Wendy. Out of the corner of my eyes, just as soon as my brother parked his car, I noticed a lady wearing oh, so sexily! It was so dark that I couldn't make out her face but goodness gracious, her body was DEAD DROP GORGEOUS!

Soon, the lady went into the light and what I saw after that was - holy shit, she's a transexual?! Goodness gracious! Indeed, a transexual that has the body any girl would die for!

No, it wasn't the first time I encountered a transexual but it was the first time a transexual came so near to me! OMG!

Consider cases like Yuna's and Harisu's... I hate them!

~ Yuna from Lady, a Korean trans-gender pop group ~

I don't fancy Yuna a lot because I think somehow, she's trying a little too hard to be girlie and innocent but look at her breasts in the picture! So nice, right?

I want a breast implant too.

Personally, I prefer Harisu more than Yuna - don't ask me why. I have whole collection of Harisu's albums. I love, love, love her voice and anything related to her because firstly... I hate her because she's hot!

~ Sexy Harisu ~

Can you see what I mean? She's burning hot! Yeah, she WAS a guy in the past, so, what? She has the body that any girl would die for and the look of HOLY-MAMA-YOU-ARE-SO-HOT! I would give whatever it takes to look like her if I could!

If you don't even know who Yuna and Harisu are, you'll be so terrified and amazed that a not-so-good-looking GUYS like them could transform into HOT chicks!

~ Yuna ~

~ Harisu ~

Yes, I hate them but NOT hate as in abhor but hate as in ENVIOUS! End of their issues and now, it's time to talk about MY issue.

I was having this talk with a close friends earlier that I want to undergo cosmetic surgery. No, not to become another transexual person! I'm comfortable being a girl and I love my auntie's visit every month! I want to enhance my look and of course liposuction and tummy tuck to make me slimmer. The reason is not solely because of guys - I want to fit into sexy clothes without having to worry about my bulging tummy!

Okay, the second reason would be because of guys - I admit, so what?

No, you're wrong - not undergoing cosmetic surgery to make guys drool over me. No, I'm not so idiotic to do that because I'm NOT dying for attention from guys. I remember, in the past somebody told me, "It's not because of your physical appearance that I'm not into you."

Bullcrap!

Girls, if there's guy who tell you something like that, trust me, he only wants you to leave him because he thinks you're too fugly for him. He'd beat around the bush, trying to tell you how wonderful you are that you're beautiful from the inside.

Now, it's bullshit!

He said he wasn't into me not because I was too fugly and it was because we didn't match. Every single thing he's said leave deep imprints and scars in me, emotionally. Yes, every single thing.

I want to prove I can be prettier than just 'shines from the inside,' which is totally RUBBISH!

So, I brought up the topic to mum the other day, telling her much I want to undergo cosmetic surgery because for all of my life, I've never felt pretty - never. You should have read the entry how much I was humiliated because of how I looked like.

Surprisingly, mum didn't say no but she said, "If you really want it, go ahead."

Oh, mama, now, that's an issue for me!

Happy birthday, girls!

November has always been a special month because this is the month that two of my very, very close girl friends celebrate their birthday on... As for Christine, I'm so sorry that this entry comes late - I was trying to contact you on your birthday but I lost your number! Mimi too, I lost your number as well!

Alright, alrighty, lemme just get straight to the point...

For the girls who are each other's soul mate...


For the girls who are always so crazy...


For the girls who are just like my sisters...


For the girls who always accompany me for meals after meals...


For the girls who always kiss my worries away...


For the girls who are good posers...


For the girls who always camwhore endlessly with me...


For the girls who can always read my mind...


For the girls who went for the MOST expensive photoshoot with me...


Yeah, you can't see Christine because she is not in the pictures - obviously but she was around, laughing at Mimi and I when we were in the middle of the photo-shooting session.

Dearest Christine and Mimi, both of you are just like one of my many blessings this lifetime. Getting to know you guys is just like a gift. Thanks for endlessly being there for me in the past! Lastly...

Happy Blessed Birthday!

I love you guys a lot!

Sweetscents Haul

I'm so happy, happy and happy. Firstly, gmail upgraded their service and now, I can have princessy and pretty theme for my used-to-be typically, boring blue theme.


Yay... Happy!

Secondly, holidays are finally HERE!!! Yahoo!

Why ah? Why am I so happy when I feel so fat at the same time? I know, I know, there's no relation between being happy and feeling fat but I can't help to feel that way. Please, make me forget that I'm fat!

Thirdly, yay, yay, yay! My sweetscenes' pigments arrived today! OMG... I was so happy, can?

Before I proceed, lemme just let those make-up fanatics know that Sweetscenes are mineral pigments from U.S. that are suitable for all skin types - if you are interested, please visit Enpointe Pigments for more details.

~ Sweetscents Pigments ~

The colours are gorgeous, people, yes, they're gorgeous! On the whole, I bought one set of those colours in mini jars - 5 colours or foundations for RM20. If you opt for zippy bags, you can choose 6 colours or foundations for just RM15.

Believe me, those colours are GORGEOUS! I ordered...

1. Amenthyst supposed to be Amethyst
2. Iced Lilac
3. Smokey Mauve Pearl
4. Sunkissed Glo
5. Fair Neutral Glo

Please take note that number 4 and 5 are foundations of different shades and tones. They have 3 different shades.

~ Camera Flash Off ~

Believe me, the colours are gorgeous. They have wider selection of other colours from Sweetscents if you are interested. Best of all, if you are a fan of M.A.C. they have it in store for you too.

After this, I might consider on getting a second set, perhaps blueish or greenish pigments. Dammit, I have those colours of eye-shadows already but the temptation is there!

Sherene, you might wanna try this!

Potato Masala

Note: I'm too lazy to copyright my pictures, so, if you want to steal, go ahead and take it - Nothing important actually.

I was busy studying for my sociolinguistics the other night when my brother suggested that we should cook Potato Masala. Honestly, I know nothing about this whole Potato Masala thingy because first of all, I seldom cook Malay or Indian dishes but heck, I love their dishes!

I just went to Nirwana with Sheau Hui and Wendy for dinner - I love, love, love their Banana Leaf Rice. It's just so special that you gotta try it! I'd say the most special dish is their deep-fried bitter gourd with spices. OMG... I've never loved bitter gourd before but they've made me crave for it!

Aherm... I'll leave that for another day or just visit my food blog for more information on Nirwana and other eating outlets.

Today, I'm going go tell you how to cook scrumptious Potato Masala - yeah, I'm lovin' it! Oh, oh, by the way, this is a really easy dish and also undeniably cheap.

1. First of all, peel off the potatoes' skins and cut the potatoes into cubes before boiling them for around 10 to 15 minutes to soften them...


2. White waiting, prepare the spices...

(a) Kunyit powder
(b) Curry powder
(c) Chilli powder
(d) Black pepper
(e) Poppy seeds
(f) Masala salt

The quantity of the spices is very much depending on the quantity of potatoes you're preparing. So, just keep your eyes open so that you won't melebih-lebih.

3. After that, chop onions and garlics. My brother said by putting more onions and garlics, the dish would definitely taste better but still, it's up to individual preference.


The picture of garlics above was actually not much since we ran out of garlics that day - too bad but still, the end result was so good.

4. Pour sufficient amount of cooking oil into the wok like this...


5. Sauté your onions and garlics...


Remember to sauté the onions n garlics until they turn golden brown before proceeding to step number 6!

6. Add in your spices - finally!


And then, goreng-goreng. If the cooking oil poured earlier is not sufficient, you can add in more oil because if the oil is insufficient, the texture of the spices would become harsh and instead of smelling the heavenly aroma of masala, you could smell something burning! Don't say I didn't warn you though!

7. Sauté the spices until they are aromatic and pour in sufficient amount of water, salt, powdered black pepper and chicken stock. Let it boil before the next step...


8. Add in the boiled potatoes!


9. Stir your potatoes well and let it boil for around 10 minutes with slow fire until the gravy becomes a little sticky...


10. Finally, makan! Haha... Yes, step number 10 is to eat the Potato Masala!


There, I've provided you 10 easy steps to cook Potato Masala. Yes, this is so easy that even a 10 year-old child could cook this dish!

Happy trying, people!
