irritating people should die

I don't like to hate people.

Today, I hated a lot of people. I hated so much that the fury within me is enough to make me hate myself. ARGH. I hate people who make me feel this way.

I don't really hate you. I am just grandly annoyed with your behaviour. Your childish acts and sore loser attitude. You find it difficult to admit being wrong or mistaken. You cook up excuses to cover your blunders. You backstab and bitch, using it to curry favour. You are rude and have no respect for others. You deny mistakes and expect others to forgive and forget, without any apology. Ei, I can be big-hearted but there's always a limit. And I'm not afraid to give you a piece of my mind. So, fuck off. You're not a friend worth keeping.

This one, I only hate sometimes. Hate is kinda strong la; dislike would be more accurate. Strongly dislike. Damn kao irritating behaviour. Selfish. Childish. Kecil hati. Insensitive. I don't understand why you have to be like this lor. I know you can be incredibly nice when you want to. Why don't you want to be incredibly nice more often? Unless of course, that nice bit is just a pretence. You just don't realise how hurtful and insulting some of your comments are. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. You call yourself a friend but you don't act like one. I know this next comment is way below the belt, but what the hell la. If you are ugly on the outside, it doesn't help to be ugly on the inside.

Ahh...this one ar, it's like having an itch on your back just where you can't reach it. Or having a mozzie bite right on the bottom of your foot. And you're wearing socks and shoes, you can't take them off to scratch that itch. Damn kao stress ok, got itch but cannot scratch. So, you arr...please la. Don't be so busybody can or not? If it doesn't concern you, don't simply buat kacau la. Imagine you're eating a bowl of rice, would you like it if I dipped my hands into your bowl? Best tak? If you say best, then I will point and laugh because it proves how stupid you are lor. Don't be so buruk siku ok...let go already too bad la. You can only blame yourself.

This last one, almost not worth mentioning also. Aih...nevermind la, I have to give you some kind of credit just for being so persistently annoying. Keeping it up until now sial! Respect. Maybe you wonder why you don't get the same kind of attention as other friends...well, wonder no more. Here's a suggestion: stop being overly disgusting and try examining your own behaviour ok? Maybe you'll find the answer there. Good luck looking.

Oh, wait! I almost forgot this one sial. I don't really know you, but what I know about you is enough to put me off. I don't like making judgments about people I don't know, but fuck! I am extremely protective over the people I love, and I don't appreciate you bitching about my loved one. You freaking two-faced bitch, acting all sweet and nice; then whipping round to backstab. Damn like to batu api some more. I tell you...only one thing la: what goes around, comes around. You better be careful where you tread. Or more specifically, be careful what you say to others and who you say it to. In case you're too thick headed to notice, news travels fast. Gossip spreads like wildfire. So keep your comments to yourself.

Ok, I feel better after ranting. Back to being the happy me. Wheeeee~!

Gotong-Royong

Last week, the whole basement parking of Block A of Cyberia kanna flooded. The water level was slightly above the exhaust pipe. My friends car (Kenari) kanna flood in the parking and unable to start the car because water entered the exhaust pipe. So me and my fellow friends decided to help Ah Ming to push his car out of the basement. The flood was quite bad cos it's until knee level. The flood at the main road was worse cos it's as high as....*imagine almost 1/2 of Pajero*.


We helped 8 people to push their cars. So, we pushed 8 cars on that day! Nissan Sentra...Honda Civic....Gen 2....Kenari..Proton saga...Kelisa...Kancil...Proton Iswara...*Flex muskel*

While pushing the cars, I saw lots of dead dragonflies, cockroaches, leaves.....and.....

the worst pizza hut ever

Yesterday we went to a Career Fair at PWTC organised by JobsDB. Kinda sucked because everything was for business and engineering. I was approached by this guy from Diamond (the water filter brand) and he tried to persuade me to do sales with them. Err...not something I'm interested in. Managed to find two editing jobs in the entire career fair. It wasn't really a great fair, considering the amount of companies there. Was really small.

After the fair, we went to this plaza opposite PWTC and had Pizza Hut for lunch. DON'T GO THERE. EVER. The service was lousy and slow. They didn't set our table. They took too damn long to take our order. They mixed up our order with another table. They charged us for extra cheese when we didn't order any. Freaking lousy. So, don't ever ever ever eat there.

On Thursday we went to see "Just Follow Law" starring Gurmit Singh and Fann Wong. Go watch it!!! Damn funny.

I want to go on a holiday!!! But no money, sigh...

Recipe for Ms Kelly Koh.

Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients:
A) Flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
B) Eggwash - egg + milk (if you want to cook beer battered fish, replace milk with beer)
C) Breadcrumbs
D) Chicken fillet

Directions:
First, clean the chicken and pat dry. Dip into A, then B, then C. Then fry with some oil in a frying pan. Make sure the fillet is not too thick otherwise it will take longer to cook, which will risk the chicken getting burnt.

Serve with baked potato or chips.

runny nose and retard

Blahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Stupid blogger. Freaking freaking slow la. Spoil mood to blog nih.

The maddening rain is making me sick. I sneezed a bajillion times and my nose started running. So I shoved a wad of tissue up my nostril to keep it from dripping all over my face. Unfortunately for me, this brand of tissue happens to be some capalang brand...when I pulled the wad out, one whole chunk got freaking STUCK in my nostril. It was all soaked with erm, you know lah...and the chunk broke off IN my nostril bleargh!

Oh wait...

*pulls out bits of tissue and flicks it on the floor*

Eww. Me's gonna dig my nose later to make sure no tissue bits are left in there.

***

Met up with Sal last week. Went all the way to KLCC to meet her. When me and Jon asked why so far, Liang said, "I'm driving mah". Ok lor. You drive lor. Mou man tai.

On that fateful day I decided to wear my new heels. Bought all the way from GoldCoast wei, super nice shoes that costed a bomb and yet to be broken in. Liang driving mah. Mou man tai. So I wear la. Rupa-rupanya, KL jam giler babi. (D'uh! KL forever jam wan what.) So Liang decided to make us take LRT.

Now my feet have four blisters. Two on each side. Next time you drive means YOU DRIVE.

***

Today I got riled up by incompetence again. Biasalah, it's the norm to be incompetent in Malaysia. It's so normal, it's become our culture. -_-

Went to Maybank to activate my dormant account. The guy at reception said I have to withdraw RM5 to activate it. Then I was served by this bored looking Indian woman who told me that the minimum withdrawal was RM10.

I said to her: "I'm not sure how much I have in my account."
Of course la, the account has been dormant for a year. I don't remember how much money is in there la. I just know it's very little since I took out my entire savings to study in Aus. -_-

She took my bank book and updated it. Passed it back to me. I looked at it.

RM8.99

I looked at her, expecting her to advice me on my next move. She stared back at me. I hesitated. Can feel my blood boiling a little. Temperature rising already.

Er, like, HELLO WOMAN?! I ain't got no tenner in me account yo! Friggin' tell me what else I can do to activate it la bodoh like fuck until can die dot com. Aiyoh, forgive the cursing. Dot com came from Liang.

Serious shit. What kinda STOOPID company hires STOOPID people like that huh?

So, obviously the smarter one (me lah. che wah.) had to think of what to do la. What is this man...you're the one serving me, you should be advising me. They hire you to do the thinking for the customers la idiot lady. I had a bunch of coins which I wanted to deposit so I asked her if I could deposit it and then take out the tenner. The stoopid woman looked relieve that I came up with that. Your freaking brain cells used for what leh?

I returned to the counter later to withdraw my RM10. Thank God it was another lady who served me. And at least she was efficient. I glanced over at the idiot lady and she was holding her temple while serving another customer. Walao. Your job dam stressful huh? Retarded.

I should have had a go at her. Damn.

***

I cannot live without an organiser and lots of Post-it notes.

***

I'm practising my driving on an expired driver's license. And I'm still bad at driving lol.

***

My brother asked his friends: "Ei, when's SJ10K ar?"
His friends: "HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
My brother: "..."
Friends: "Over long time liao."

Really meh? I thought SJ10K during middle of the year wan. Cha tou.

It's time to do that weird habits tag from Yang. But I damn lazy to think so I decided to post one weird habit only:

I love to make lists. To-do lists. Shopping lists. Food lists. Holiday lists.

Every start of semester I will make a list. I will write out the course title, then underneath it I will write down all the assignments and exams that I have to complete, with due dates and all.

Before every holiday, I will make a list of things to pack. Meticulously divided into "clothes", "toilettries" and etc etc. I will cross things off while I pack. The next morning, I will double cross the list again as I double check my items.

I even made a list of things to eat once I reached home.

I am obsessed about LISTS.

***

To prove my obsession, I shall make a few lists now.

Things that made me happy since returning home:
1. Family
2. Eating lots of yummy food
3. Meeting and catching up with friends =)
4. Spending too much time with Liang
5. Squishing our hamster, Kuaci
6. Managed to get prom dresses

Things that annoyed me since returning home:
1. Fucking useless fart of a backstabber
2. Graduation photos taking too damn long to reach me
3. Stoopid courier company never reply my e-mail
4. Waiting one month for my stuff to reach me..they are somewhere over the ocean
5. I need my stuff for my portfolio argh!
6. Too damn broke due to aforementioned prom dresses

Things I miss about Australia:
1. They know how to queue
2. No traffic jam
3. Lift! 5% lemon juice, the Great Lemon Taste
4. Slice, the best pizza in the world
5. Gonna miss TimTam soon, the last packet shall be devoured with great regret
6. High speed Internet

Things I look forward to back home:
1. More cheap foooooooood
2. More yummy foooooooood
3. Can pak tor more
4. Can yum cha with friends anytime, anyday, anywhere
5. Can find food anytime, anyday, anywhere
6. Work...as much as I like to plant grapes (menganggur geddit? Yang teach wan) I don't have much grapes left to munch on and until someone else (ahembeeahem) is capable of planting grapes for me to eat, I will need to GET A JOB *gulp*

emo lah

300 was a good movie...yummy hot Spartan men waargh! Damn manly and macho.

*press Liang's tummy*

Where's my Spartan man?! I want one for myself. Faster bee, faster build your body. Then put on your underwear and a red cape ngek ngek.

Lately I have been surrounded by lots of emo stuff.

I just finished reading "P.S. I Love You" which I borrowed from Gary and it's super duper emo! I keep tearing at every other chapter. Freaking romantic. But it's really sad and scary to lose your husband/wife, especially when you're at that age when you're supposedly settled down with kids and stuff.

Friday morning my ex lecturer's husband passed away after four cancer stricken years. How do people cope with things like that...

Last week my Godma's aunt was admitted into hospital. Seeing her with tubes sticking in and out scares me. It reminds me too much of my late grandfather.

My wallet also damn emo lately. After shopping for prom, I am so broke. I really need to quit putting off my job hunt and get myself a bloody job. Bah.

"Bridge to Terabithia" is a very family oriented movie, suitable for young audiences. Liang reckons it's bittorent-worthy.

So many things to do, and so little dosh to do it. Being poor sucks big time.

Thanks for organizing this Hui Ling! =D

otak berkarat

Aiyo aiyo I forgot so many things...dammit, need more memory space. Been on holiday for too long, brain also rusty already.

Thanks to Hui Ling who organized a karaoke outing, I got to meet up with a bunch of good ol' friends. Met two people from my primary school; one was a classmate, the other was a best buddy. Miss the old times. Also learned a lot of malay songs and laughed until stomach pain listening to JunJin and Daniel singing "I'm a Barbie Girl". The videoclip for "Tong Hua" damn sad la sniff. I will post karaoke photos up soon =) Looking forward to the Ah Lian/Ah Beng Day kekeke.

Yang, thanks for remembering the - but no thanks for tagging me! Grr...my brain damn karat already, damn hard to think la. I guess I'll do the tag later.

Kelly, I post the recipe here for you. Forgive the lack of measurements, all also agak-agak so you play by ear la.

Potato lasagna (more like a potato bake), original recipe from somewhere else.

Ingredients:
1. Potatoes - peeled, sliced, boiled till half cooked
2. Corned beef - may be replaced with any type of minced meat
3. Onions - to fry with the meat, you can add other types of vege if you want
4. Lots of cheese. Mozarella is best.

Instructions:
Peel, slice and boil potatoes in salt water till half cooked. Season meat with salt and pepper and whatever else you want. I usually put in some Lea & Perrins and Basil. If you're using corned beef, you don't have to season it much cuz it comes out from the can pretty tasty on its own. Fry the meat with onions and/or other vegetables of your choice. Here, you can add some ketchup to the meat if you like. I lurrrrve ketchup.

Arrange a layer of potatoes in the bottom of a baking dish. Spoon a layer of meat on top of that. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on top of the meat. Continue in the same order until you use up everything, ending with a generous amount of cheese on top. Mine usually ends with a layer of potatoes and cheese at the top. You can prepare this in advance and keep refrigerated until ready to bake.

Heat up the oven and chuck the dish in. Bake until thoroughly cooked. Or else you end up eating raw and crunchy potatoes like me and Kelly did the first time I made this dish. Also be careful not to burn the dish.

Honey Soy Sauce Chicken, recipe inspired by Pizza Hut's BBQ Ribs.

Ingredients:
1. Chicken - like d'uh. I like chicken wings
2. Honey
3. Dark soy sauce - for colour
4. Light soy sauce - the usual kicap la

Clean the chicken thoroughly and rub some salt into it. Marinate in honey, dark and light soy sauce. The amount of dark soy sauce should be half of the light soy sauce e.g. 1 tablespoon of dark sauce for every 2 tablespoons of light sauce. As for the honey, just agak la. I used a lot. Cuz sweet mah.

Let the whole concoction sit for a while. The longer the better. An easy way to marinate is to use a ziplock bag, throw everything in and keep refrigerated till ready to cook.

Heat up oven. Lightly oil the base of a baking dish. Put the chicken in WITHOUT the marinade. Otherwise your chicken will be swimming in the marinate like my first attempt lol. Keep the marinade (marinate or marinade? I'm too lazy to find out) aside, it will be used for basting.

Baste the chicken once every 5-10 mins until chicken is cooked all the way through. Dunno what is basting? Basting means you open the oven, brush the marinade all over the chicken with a cooking brush or you can use those super terror basting thingies where you just pump the marinade over the dish. I dunno what is it called. So, just keep basting to avoid burning the chicken and you'll know you've done it right when the chicken comes out crispy and sweet.

There girl. Finally got around to posting this up. Sorry I keep forgetting! Leave a message if you want any other recipe.

Ching, sorry couldn't join you for badminton today. Maybe next week =)

Anybody in Subang wanna watch 300? Chew? Hui Ling? Yang? Ching? Shiow Wei? Eve? Call meee!

Oh, my brother's friend cracked his ankle today during football. Poor kid.

finally an update

Eww...lots of dead rats in here. Damn long never update already; starting to feel all that frustration with stupid blogger. Dumbass thing!

Finally back home for good. The weather is superb and boy, do I miss Malaysian drivers! Stress on the road especially when Liang bumpity-bump-bumpers with other drivers. Just last night some stupid lady's handbrake "malfunctioned" (read: noob forgot about her foot brake) and her Mercedes kompressor slid backwards and into the front of Liang's SLK (small little Kenari). Nothing much, just a cracked plate and dispositioned bumper. She seemed nice about it, agreeing to pay for any damages. Called her up today to discuss fixing it and she is suchabitch. Long story short, we were forced to go all the way to Klang to get it fixed. Finally at freaking 4pm, the car was all fixed and I was hungry until not hungry anymore. We then had our first meal of the day around 5pm+. Missing breakfast and lunch never felt so wrong.

Past few weeks since returning home has been amazingly busy. Cleaning out my room, reorganizing stuff and forcing my parents to throw away things that they don't need. I'm currently on a mission to stop their habit of hoarding. They just about keep every piece of "useable" junk.

My dog received a complete makeover. Finally got his nails trimmed because he won't let anyone else trim it. Even when I'm trimming it, he needs to be coaxed and soothed the entire time. Also got rid of all that ear wax that my Dad has been neglecting to clean out of his ears. Yucks. Rendam him in tick medication to get rid of all those fleas that come out during hot weather. Yucks.

Second week home, I spent a night at Genting with Liang. Damn nice and chilled out. Didn't bother wasting any money on rides; it was bad weather anyway. Woke up too late for breakfast the next day...only managed one round of food =( After Genting was 6 days in Malacca doing nothing but eateateat and grow fatfatfat. I wish Subang food was as cheap as Malaccan food. Lost money gambling at Keni's house, low sang at Gary's place, went bowling and broke some nails with blood yucks, finally been to Friends Cafe and ate a lot of GOOD FOOD every single day. Ngaum.

This week we finally got our butts to the cinema and watched The Pursuit of Happyness which I've been dyingggggggg to watch since it came out in Australia, which suprisingly was earlier than the premier in Malaysia and the worst of worst happened; power shortage!!! Three times the movie was cut. Stress. Finally left after the third cut. The management apologized and allowed us to reuse our tickets for any movie any day. Gotta hunt for the DVD now, shucks. Damn hard to find "fan pan" stuff nowadays. Speaking of which, I'm hunting for old movies like Infernal Affair series and The Devil Wears Prada. And where to buy "fan pan" PS2 games now?

Had a good long chat with Eve few nights back and caught up on a lot of stuff. Had lots of fun discussing about our Malaccan boyfriends hoho. Our next mission is to con all our friends to go on an Eating Spree in Malacca. And also to force our boyfriends to take us for beca rides, to take us to the beach, to take us to the funfair and to do extremely touristy stuff. Should be fun hehe.

In an effort to get fit, my brother and I have made a pact to join this year's SJ10k. So far, I have jogged twice. Sad case. My loyal Nike finally died; busted it's heel so there's nothing to absorb impact on the right foot now. Got myself a brand spanking new pair of runners. Hopefully I won't get lazy halfway through hehe. Anybody else wanna join SJ10k together? I think it's sometime during the middle of the year.

Another reason to get fit is the MMU Prom. One at the end of this month and another in the middle of next month. But at the rate I'm going, I think I have to wear a dress that hides all the spare parts. That is, if I can even get a dress at all. I found a beautiful gown today at Edmunser but the price killed me...equivalent to the price of Yang's handphone T_T. Hunting for prom gowns are horrible...where do poor girls get pretty gowns? Sigh...I don't even know any seamstress who can make gowns nor the moolah to buy nice ones off the rack. Drats. If anyone knows where to get nice affordable gowns, do let me know. I will love you long time after that. Or we could just settle on beer.

It's getting late so I'm going to sleep now. Or else I'll get hungry and eat more. Ngaum.
