HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Wanted to post this as soon as possible...As now is still Halloween. I want this post to be exactly on the 31th Oct 2009 ^_^..


Woke up in the morning for my chinese harp class, my teacher is as usual, cute but wearing boldly. Had dimsum for breakfast and packed home some for mum and sis. After mum had her breakfast, I accompanied her to her office to shut down her computer, sis stayed at home to do some readings on her exam next week. Dad went for grocery shopping by the way. After mum cleared up some stuff in the office, we head to Sunway Pyramid to get Krispy Kreme Halloween doughnuts (before that we went to some cd shops in ss19). 

I just love the way people celebrate Halloween, cool decorations around enough to make me happy... Manhattan Fish Market restaurant looks like a haunted house, while Krispy Kreme had four new flavors of doughnuts specially for this event. Unfortunately, I din't manage to get the whole set of four, the pumpkin design has sold off when we arrived. So i just got the 3 other flavors, spider web, some sprinkle design and skull design. 

We wanted to have some cream mussels and mushrooms in fish market before we leave, but mum remembered she has a bday dinner with her friends, so we quickly rush back.

I find that in this country people don't really celebrate Halloween that much, so I'm in my syok sendiri mode again. Finding stuff to make myself excited, such as getting cute related stuffs, and feeling totally in mode for the event. So i guess this year I should be contented about how i'm doing it, the lovely doughnuts and the 31 baskin robbin halloween limited pen which I had weeks ago. ^^

So how do you guys celebrate your Halloween? ^_^

( Before I forget, we had some ice-cream in Haagen Daz and some shopping before getting the doughnuts. Shopping is always a never ending story!!)

つまらないかもしらないですが。。。

100 yen shop in ss15 has finally opened! I've been waiting for it for quite some time.. Went to have a look on the second day of opening, but did not get anything. Monday C.C. wanted to get some washing bags, so we decided to go for a second visit. And guess what, i can't control from buying the snacks there again! Saw a lovely little glass, perfectly fitted for plum sake. But managed to prevent myself from buying..

Our snacks ^^.. We took that jelly drink thingy, mine is peach, C.C.'s is grape. I definitely will get the butter flavor chips again, it just fit my taste buds so much. C.C. did not really like buttery stuff, but i guess she will be indulging herself with those instant noodles she bought. By the way, the green little thing in the picture is some sort of gummy candies, which i gave them to sis. Gonna really consider whether to get the sake glass.

Tuesday was a scary day for me. Having around 10 hours of class is really insane. Taylor's super torture system really works, but the point of having all class cramped is STUPID as I don't think any student out there can survive a 6 hours of continuous class and manage to cramp in all infos given by the lecturer. The worst thing is the image consultancy workshop that we students are FORCED to attend. Basically i'm thinking that instead of wasting two precious hours of mine listening to someone talking about what clothes to wear, if the lecturer did not teach for that two hours, perhaps I could just take some rest.

 

Here's how lame the workshop is:

1. The speaker (I do not want to put her name here) said that people who work in finance dept should only wear black or other solemn colours

2. No pumps or nice heels allowed, because guys will get attracted, she also said that if we work in Big Fours, we wont even need to think of wearing those (I'm betting 101% she din't even work in big fours before)

3. The more you cover, the more professional you are

4. Those new guy fashion are Gay looking

5. KEEP saying she wears the best

...

It would not end if I continue to list down what interesting stuff she said. So anyway, after her session, I informed my tax lecturer that I would have to leave half and hour earlier (he extended his classes from 6pm till 7pm!!!), because I have JLPT class at 7pm. I need half and hour to walk there and take my dinner, or i'll think i'm even greater than a vampire (come on, vampires at least drink blood). So at 6.30pm, I left my seat and head towards the door, I was so sure that there would be no problem because i've already informed the lecturer before he started his class. BUT, when i left my seat he said: 'oh, there are students who are leaving my class, but nevermind, just get the notes from your friends k?' I just do not understand his thoughts for purposely saying that. Oh, forget it. Because I had such a great time during JLPT class, the class is really the ONLY thing that made my day on tuesdays...

Had some korean meal for lunch. Due to the rush, I did not really enjoy it that much. Really hope to go there again with C.C..Mum picked me up after she went to SJMC, I thought she would be able to get the report, but unfortunately staffs in SJMC is brainless (mum waited for hours and NO one told her the report is not out). Mum and I went to IOI, mainly to get her long awaited green colour contacts. And with this I finally get my gold mirror!! It suits my cosmetic case sooo much ^_^.. *got a new blouse, and 2 mangas*

Went home early on friday. Put on a mask and switch on the aircond (i don't usually on it during the day), had a nice relaxing late afternoon.

Halloween is on Saturday! Yeah!

またいろいろな生活。。

Am super tired now, exhausted, but still forcing myself to type this post (which supposed to be written on either sunday or monday). Do not have the energy to write in detail what I've gone through during the week, but just gonna post some pics of the foods which I ate:

Forgive me for the blur shoot. This is some cheese baked chicken with herbs (I don't think it's the correct name), from Peppercorn cafe. Usually will go to this place for some full lunch+nice environment if either me or my friend has the mood.

Had this terribly sweet banana boat with Shirley in Noodle Station. Well the extreme sweetness is mainly my fault, I specially ordered the banana boat with all three chocolate flavor ice-creams. But put the dessert aside, I'm still happy to go have tea with Shirley, when I do not even have a place to go (stray cat mode).

Fried rice!~ I could say this fried rice entered the top 5 list of The best fried rice stall i've ever had in my life of 18 years, hahaha. But have been having this for around twice a week, due to the rushness of classes and eating alone. Afterall it's the few places which i feel safe eating alone..

Oh yeah, during the week, mum brought back home some beautiful okashi お菓子(given by japanese boss). I was kinda mad taking lots of pics and feel sorry for eating such a cute desserts. Here's the pics:

Comes with 24 different types of okashi, each have different shapes and patterns. All of them are SWEET, literally. See how cute are they in the boxes ^^. One of my favourite (as in design) is the carved kyoto palace on a peanut flavor okashi. The carving was very detail and it really made me amazed.

Next is my nice sunday. Initially going to midvalley to attend the makeup class from estee lauder, but did not like the road show style of teaching, so decided to go for some shopping instead. Went to different computer shops to gather information about mum's yet to be laptop. After entering almost every computer shops in MV, we stopped by Wah Chan as there were some promotions on diamonds. Mum is a fan of diamonds as it is valuable and pretty. After looking through some nice diamonds, mum decided to get one and made it to a ring:

What a pretty diamond, I have to admit I fell in love with it at first sight as well, hahaha...Another thing happen in Wah Chan is that I won the lucky draw! I can't really believe that is happening to me as I never won any of those since my birth.

Got a nice Crystal Pearl bracelet ^^. The more i look at it the more i'm in love with it. Guess jewelleries do have the power to attract girls. My bracelet comes with a pink little bag and RM50 cash voucher.

Before I end the post, Mum and I bought a new brand of colour contact lenses, Maxim Colors from Korea. Did not hear of this brand before, but just wanted to try it because the boxes are just very cute.

We took the blue box, heard that new designs is coming soon. Go check out their website! By the way I took one box of blue and one green ^^.

学期最初の一週間！

Although I really feel lazy about blogging, but I just have to stick on to the 'make my adrenaline pump up' plan. Now start with my fresh second year university life:

Monday (5th October 2009):

My first day of uni. This week is mainly introductory lectures (no tutorials), meeting with my new lecturers, getting to know how exactly am I going to survive my year two. Met with C.C. early in the morning; unexpectedly I didn't feel that 'long time no see' feeling, just meet with her like how I always do before my long summer holiday. C.C had MAPI lecture in the morning, so I decided to drop by the library for the two hours. Then, off to go to enjoy our first lunch together after summer.

My Lunch: Gourmet Pie, Chocolate Cheese Cake and Ice Blended Green Tea. I would say i'm dissapointed because almost ALL the cakes were sold out, I was unhappy and even thinking of complaining but did not do so. Gourmet Pie was normal, chocolate cheese cake was just too sweet for me.

Had tax lecture at 4pm, by Mr Kumaravel...No comments on his teaching. *By the way, had asked C.C. to rescue my knitted scarf, so that I could restart knitting anytime soon*

Tuesday (6th October 2009):

Had only one class at 2pm  because my International Business Analysis (IBA) lecturer was off. C.C. and me decided to drop by Subang Parade for a short lunch+finding knit flowers+walking around (if we have time). We had lunch in Sakae Sushi, a 'quite' terrible lunch, cold refrigerator unagi, with weird mango soft shell crab. After lunch, I managed to get the craft shop to custom made one knit flower for me (me picking the colour to match my scarf). Really had the urge to learn flower making, but I need to be pro in my scarf first. The flower is costly by the way...but really really pretty. Would get them to make more flowers if I needed more next time (or anyone could help me find places which sells knitted flowers in cheaper price??).

We walked around, and I convinced C.C. to get some gachapons...hahaha. We got the super cute tamagochi sticker gachapons, got one for my sis as well. Next we had ice-creams in 31 baskin robbins, I had choc peppermint in cone, took the halloween promo and got the limited edition halloween pen!~ One sad story, Anna Sui's promoter was not there, so I couldn't get to ask about their newest fall collection...really love the fall nail polish.

Back for Corporate Finance lecture by Mr Kenneth. His laugh is really hillarious, -_-..

Tamagochi sticker roll gachapon and 31 Baskin Robbin limited edition Halloween pen~

Wednesday (7th October 2009):

Had two lectures today. Management Accounting and Tax (replacement for next week). Nothing much happen today..Just hanging around with C.C most of my time. Reached home and found that I have received my SID guitar picks.

 

I took two sets actually, the limited edition Aki SID guitar picks (with seal) and a red aki pick. The limited edition pick set comes with the seal (the gold black sheet) and three picks, second till fourth from the left picture. Has this sentence : " I believe, Music has the power to change the world" on the seal and the picks. The other normal official aki pick is the red one, first from left in the pic. All of them just looked GREAT!! Add it into my love collection~ Have decided to blog about DIM (everything including CDs, picks, wristbands...) when Sayoko comes back from Australia during December. We promised to have a DIM celebration outing when we meet ^_^..

Had a painful guitar night...but I still love Ren.

Thursday (8th October 2009):

As usual, nothing much other than spending most of my time with C.C. Only Financial Accounting lecture today. FA lecturer is the only female lecturer for my second year, I do prefer female lecturers sometimes, they are more caring as compared to male lecturers.

*Started my knitting again. The colour of my scarf really fits the season now, Autumn scarf, hahahaha...will definitely post about it after it's done. Still haven't decide who's the owner, IF i did well, I would give to the right owner...IF it's not too good, i'll just keep it for my own memory.

Friday (9th October 2009):

Meeting with Akiko! I have been waiting since the morning to see her.. Haha. Had my one and only lecture today, Audit at 10am. Had lunch in Kentucky with C.C....while we both waiting (me for akiko, while C.C. for her uncle). Met with Akiko, and we had dessert in Snow Flakes. Received my bodyline skirt (and vk necklace)! Definitely lovely and sweet~, nice shades of pink and purple. Gave akiko her wing rings as well...

I took the bestseller again, while akiko took the lemon jelly thingy (can't remember the name).

Nice? We did had a great time.. Met with akiko's cousin as well, who wanted to take his costume from akiko. We spent quite some time in snow flakes due to the rain.

 

                                               

Some mini shoots while eating...We had somemore foods in Burger King while waiting for my dad. Am really FULL after ANOTHER dinner with my dad and sis. Haven't had so much food in a day...

Basically nothing much for the weekend, just super painful chinese harp session, and relatives visiting on sunday...^_^. Yup, basically that's all, forgive me if I left out anything (inform me!), as I am now typing while feeling super sleepy. Well, chow time now~

夏休みの最後の七日

Tomorrow my Year Two university life gonna start. So I want to post about my last seven days of summer holiday.

Monday (28 Sept 2009):

Went to Subang Jaya Medical Centre with mum since early morning, to check out some info for my grandmother. Mood is furious because I could see how hard is it to have many siblings and the difficulty of discussing but not being able to make any decision without all of them agree. Reminds me of the hard times during year one, and am super glad that I have only one beloved sister, which will make life easier for us since I think our sister relationship is happy and flowerish enough.

Had a beautiful lunch in Rakuzen with mum after everything done in SJMC. We weren't sure whether to go in the restaurant bacause it's already 2pm while their closing time is 2.30pm, but the waitress kept inviting us and say it's ok if we dine in. After we placed our order, the staff started cleaning! and we keep smelling detergent and soap. Mum made a complain and they change our seat to a better one, at least no smell. Behind us there were another table dining, so we were not the only one left. Both mum and I ordered something related to unagi..

This is mine. Mum's meal is like unagi with rice underneath...while mine is Unagi wth some sashimi sushi. Both our course comes with miso, fruits and steamed eggs.
 

We went to Sunway Medical centre after lunch for some checkup for mum. After the checkup we went to Snow Flakes for some nice dessert; and walked in some magazine and CD shop around ss15 area. AND I BOUGHT TRUE BLOOD!!!! Both seasons!! I just can't believe it, I was having a hard time streaming the series online and I FINALLY GOT IT! Thanks a lot to mum for searching it with me ^_^. Now i won;t mind to STARE at Eric and Bill all times (ignore my fangirl mode).

Tuesday (29 Sept 2009):

Nothing much today except for my JLPT Ni Kyuu class. Had another brain storming session in Nakamura sensei's class, and really glad that I did some revision whole day before my class. One good news: I only did one question wrong for my listening practise! Greatest achievement for me until today; but grammar question still sucks, got 4 rights only...GANBATTE!! 

Reached home after class, and greeted my grandmother, uncle and aunt that came to our house (they came to accompany my grandmother for the treatment mum registered on monday). Grandmother had slimmed down a lot since I last saw her. But she still smiled sweetly after seeing us.

Wednesday (30 September 2009):

Went to SJMC with grandma, mum, aucle and aunt. Mum took leave despite month end closing. Waited quite long throughout the whole appointment, and it's decided by the doctor and mum and uncle that tomorrow - Thursday grandma is going for Ultra sound guided Thoracentesis treatment. She have to be admited to the hospital for one day after the treatment to ensure that she is safe. Mum and aunt accompanied grandma for a blood test, while uncle and I went to the reception to settle the bills and some admission procedures.

Went for dinner after SJMC. After dinner, we decided to get grandma the pastries she love (she likes the pizza bread kinda pastries). I bought a nice cheese danish and a blueberry pie for myself ^_^..

My lovely blueberry pie! It looks so shiny and juicy isn't it..Tasted really nice and not too sweet, perfectly nice for me. I ate something else as supper:

Lovely heart shaped biscuit! Topped with chicked floss and some mayo. Bought it during breakfast, in a stall that sells nice HUGE curry puffs. My heart shaped biscuits tasted just great, gonna get somemore the next time i'm going there.

And one more thing, I confirmed with Akiko about my bodyline order. Mum said the skirt is pretty as well, so I finally decided to give the pink skirt a try, price is 1999yen (around RM80). Akiko said bodyline and DHL is always VERY fast, and she will get the package around weekend. Looking forward to see my new pink skirt. Here's bodyline picture of the skirt:

Thursday (1 Oct 2009):
Mum took a half day leave in the afternoon; came home and ate her lunch in a super speed. Dad took leave also and all of them (grandma, dad, mum, uncle, aunt) set off to SJMC for grandma's treatment. I was left at home, because there's really too many people going.

Uncle went home when i was napping. Went to visit grandma in the hospital during night (mum stayed there since afternoon). Aunt will stay in hospital to take care of grandma at night (change shift with mum).

Friday (2 Oct 2009):
I spent most of the time at home, mum went and pick grandma and aunt back. They came back in the evening (after the doctor made sure that grandma is safe), after their dinner with dad and sis - I was having my nap.

Saturday (3 Oct 2009):
Went to Teluk Intan to send grandma home. Grandma was happy to go home, my other aunt also there. Lunch was really spicy, Mum and I had sambal petai, which both of us love it so much. Dad was having fun with cousin's gameboy(coz our psp do not have pokemon game), while sis get to play with cousins. And while I was unable to get my afternoon nap, I did some homework for JLPT class.

Sunday (4 Oct 2009):
Since I din't really have a good night sleep during the night, I decided to skip my breakfast with grandma (and the others). Lunch grandma wanted to treat us in Oldtown coffee house, and I had mostly a big ice-cream meal. Went home after lunch and had a haircut (to trim my hair back to the previous nice style). So this time would me my second super happy haircut.

I hope my first week of uni will be great (no tutorials, only intro lectures), and I pray very hard i will get to be in the same class with C.C..

秋の月

Mid Autumn Festival was yesterday (3oct2009, Saturday). Well, our family isn't the type which will sit around the table drinking tea and eat mooncakes; nor go for lantern walk either. However we do eat mooncakes, every year, which i don't usually particularly enjoy (especially the lotus flavor), but I do enjoy collecting the pretty mooncake boxes. What makes me want to blog about this year's midautumn festival is the EXTREMELY pretty box and the variety of flavors, no more too much of the hyper sweet lotus!

First is the mooncake from Digi. This pretty box is in the form of two drawers. Mum wanted to use it to put her watches.. Four flavors: Lotus (just one) with 1 yolk, Black sesame with 1 yolk, Red bean and Espresso Chestnut.

This is from some random supplier from my dad's workplace. The box looks like red bamboo sheets, there's this nice button in front, can't see it due to the angle. Four flavors as well: Lotus with 1 yolk, Jade Custard, Durian (never try it before but u heard it's good), and Green Tea (MY LOVE!~)

Jelly mooncakes~ I remember last year I did post about jelly mooncakes as well. Still loving them, but this year's feel waterish, like when bite down water pours out (scary)..

That's all for this year's mooncakes, mum had more but because she took some day off these days, the mooncakes are eaten my her sub-ordinates. Anyway, have a nice mid autumn moon day!~
