Free Freee Freeeeeee......

Rite, my exams are finally over.. Fuck the exams la... Don't wanna talk bout it though i'm sure my parents will ask this n that la... oh well, dah biasa dah.. Anyways, i'm not so sure when i'll be comin back yet. Could be anytime from saturday to monday. Want to do some new year shoppin over here first before i get back. As i mentioned in d previous post, here are the pics taken from chillin at Pavilion looking for donuts.


Aly posing as if she's a tourist :P

I have to say, i'm pretty impressed with this place, its like huge weh, although we didn't get to explore every single shop since we were kinda late that day and my dear wanted to buy slippers badly. She said she wanted to go to Times Square to buy n then i said why not go Pavilion since we both wanted to see ( n taste) what all the fuss is about J.Co donuts. I think WeiNie already beat me to post bout it but what the heck rite, she does it in her 'fat girl' opinion mode.. :P ..


The concourse of the Pavillion

Anyways, once we were there, as expected there was a queue .. Quite a long one in fact. But the thing is, its moving rather fast as compared to any other queue's in the country. As i got closer, i manage to figure out why, instead of 1 person serving you, you get 3 instead. How u ask? Well, don't think to much la, you're not the PM so they instead have like 'stations' for each of the 3 staff. Once you're done with one station , they pass you onto their 'friend' at the next and so on. There, pretty simple and effective rite :).


I'm about to find out why there is a ridiculous amount of ppl Q-ing up

So the 2 of us decided to take the half dozen combo and at 11 bucks for 6 donuts, i think its a reasonable price to pay rite? We took the Tiramisu, Cheese, Chocolate with Choc filling, a normal glazed one with blueberry stuffin in the hole, another chocolate one but with nut toppings and and Oreo donut. I actually wondered what else can't you do with Oreos when it comes to desserts la? Got Oreo cheesecake, Oreo McFlurry, Oreo Donut, heck, there is even an Oreo shake here!!


The donut spread.. I will try EACH n everyone one day!!

But i have to say, the best of the 6 has to be the Tiramisu for me. Being the coffee addict that i am, i found it with just the rite amount of coffee and cream. Not too lite till its blend and not too heavy till its over kill. And it ain't as sickeningly sweet like other donuts too!! Next would have to be the cheese topped one. I'm not too sure what kinda cheese they put but the sprinkle of parsley and herbs did the trick!


Their logo looks similarly similar to another iced latte franchise eh?

My baby loved the Oreo one the most, have to admit, it is hard not too. And the blueberry one also very nice. Guess the best thing overall is that it ain't too sweet like Dunkin Donuts but still you'll be able to taste the richness in each bite! Now, would someone open a Krispy Kreme here!!


Half a dozen de-freakin-licious donuts

So after that we walked around awhile, they had a lot of varieties of foods over there, even one shop that specially sells yew char kuay. But at first glance at the sign of the shop, i was like WTF!! Got the pic below.. Scroll down la.


As the great Homer J. Simpson said "Mmmm... Donuts..."

And not surprising with CNY so close by, there was some performance at the stage with acrobats doin stuff and lion dance. To be honest, i wasn't too impress seeing that since its almost all the same at every show u see, like in gentings, china, cruises, etc. But my dear seems fascinated by it so terpaksa see lo :P..


You Tiao, I tiao, we tiao tiao togather la

Oh, we went to the supermarket there, forgot what is it called but it had some funky name to it... Went to the liquor section cos wanted to see what sorta stash they had there.. And to my pleasant surprise, they had loads and loads of stuff! Almost like Langkawi minus the duty free charges la dang.. But seriously, they had all those liqueurs used in mixes that i haven't seen anywhere else.. Unless of cos u go to a special liquor stall. But where else can u find triple sec, banana liqueur, lychee liqueur, vermouth, midori and? They even had Absolut Apeach and jamaican rum! If only la duty free.... The sales lady there also was very knowledgeable about the liquors and wines over there. Siap can give cocktail recipes summore!


Northern Lion Dance plus some chinese show..

Then after that, we made our way over to Sg Wang Plaza. Poor baby looked like she was almost in tears searchin for a good nice pair of flops. Finally found one at Vincci so, i'll jz cut this story short la :)


Chinese acrobats doin the pyramid. Now thats how its done!

On another note, last nite Man United beat Portsmouth 2-0 with a super goal from Ronaldo. The freekick better thn anything Beckham bended weh!! (well, almost la... ) 27 goals and its only halfway tru the season. 99' once more? hopefully la :D


We saw this group of people playin instruments rite at the pavement.. wonder why they blowin to the stone though..

So there it is ... my life so far.. suppose to go clubbing tonite as most of my friends over here finish exams today + my dear sedang memaksa me go.... I'll try to wriggle my way out if i can la.. ><..


check this goal out... even all you non Ronaldo supporters also will applaud at this brilliance!

Thank U Folks

With whats been goin on the past few weeks, i guess its good that my birthday came and went just a few days ago. You peeps who sent smses, facebook wishes, friendster testimonials n messages and of cos those who wished me in person really brightened up my day. So thanks to you all ya :D

I have to admit la, there were a few numbers who smsed me but i have no idea who is who la.. hahaha.. And i kinda had more 'international' smsed thn i foreseen.. thing is, i don't have ur numbers.. sorry ya guys.. ahha.. Phang n Lip, u change ur number eh?

The nite before my birthday, my baby, wallace and his girl went out jalan jalan around kl (well actually is jz drivin around til we reached jalan alor to eat la). And he had tis funny penang birthday tradition whereby they crack hardboiled eggs on to the birthday boy/girl's head!! -.-... First time i heard of tat sial.. And whats more, sakit pula tu!!... Then they went and did something sweet by buyin me a muffin and making me blow candles out at the makan stall..

And my dear got me a wallet for my birthday :D.. thanks ya baby, really liked it la :D.. and also a rocker accessory which i love! Next thing i need to get is a piercing :P..

Oh, finally went to Pavillion yesterday just to eat the J.Co donuts.. And i have to say, it is really as good as people say it is!! Got pictures comin up soon bout that so i'll leave that post for another time la.

Anyways, once again, thank ya'll for the wishes ya :D .. Hopefully i'll remember to do the same when the time comes. hahahaha ..

It's Creeping Up My Back Again...

Exams are starting in about 3 days time. I'm prepared as i'll ever will be. But the thing is rite, as of this very moment, i seriously feel like quitting the course i'm taking now. Wait, saying 'feel like' gives the impression that i might go back on it. Lemme rephrase : i seriously want to quit my course. This is not the first time this thought has been in my head. I think it was beginning of this year or last that i had this thought too but then it was just a thought.. Nothing serious, but now, more than ever, i really want too.

Why? one main reason is what ever little interest i have in this field has been washed down the drain by 1) senseless lecturers 2) severe pressure 3) just bloody don't feel like pressing the calculator anymore. Okay, the last one was abit of a drag but overall, can say my lack of interest la.. I mean, if i have to scrape my ass of the ground just to go for classes or keep my eyes open with a toothpick during revision, might as well not do it at all rite? I could even see what will happen, sit for exams, fail, pay resit money, sit again, possibly fail again then have to repeat.. FYI, bright student i am not -.-.

No, i haven't told my parents about this yet, want to wait for the right time. Possibly after CNY and after my projected holiday in penang *tat is underworks*. I hope that they will support my decision. I have a strong feeling that they will first say what they wanna say bout continuing and giving it another shot and then if all else fails, hopefully listen to what i have to say... Well, facing them is one problem, choosing what i want to do next is another.

Well, i do have some choices in mind, well, actually only one at the moment. I think i wanna do broadcasting. Why? cos it looks interesting, the subjects look very do-able and i think i will enjoy the courses. Sure sure ppl (esp elders + parents) will say that its not as easy as it sounds la, its not easy to get a job la, need to be hardworking la, need to be outspoken la this la that la. But the truth is, which course doesn't require all of the above huh? Think being an engineer means we don't have to communicate with people alot? Does anyone have insight on broadcasting?

And i am thinking, is it too late to start studying again? i don't think so rite?
Thomas Edison once said something like : "I didn't not fail 100 times to create a lightbulb, i just found out 100 ways how not to"

I guess that will be my main stand and argument la. And if i do do that course, the main reason for stayin in lala land TAR college is the fees and cost of living is way affordable.. So hey, why not. Shit, if i end up as a big shot at some tv station/radio station or being a big shot producer, won't be that bad rite? haha.. of cos, the road there ain't that easy.

I think i will see the college counsellor about this first. Its not my first time goin there so i know what i'm doing. See what she has to say, and take it from there...

So as of rite now, i'm 99.99% sure i'm not gonna continue with my course, the other 0.01% is the fact i continue and change institutes i guess...

Heavy Metal Guy

Was watching Happy Tree Friends on Youtube just the other day when Aly's bro introduced me to this mini series :






It's damn cool and damn funny weh... You don't have to appreciate rock music to enjoy this.. think if Don saw this he'd laugh.. haha!!

On another note, guys and girls who have the adverlets.com thingi on ur blog, i'm sure you can't access ur blog page without it being redirected to someother site rite? Just remove it as some one forgot to renew their subscription la. Remove the link from ur template and it'll be all better :D

Welcome '08

365 days has pass since 2007 came along.. in those 365 days, i'm glad to say that overall it has been a good year for me. I suppose i'll be doin my year end review soon. Don't have much time on my hands.. couldn't even blog properly for so long..

Anyways, for the past 1 week, Christmas and New Years celebrations came and flew by just like that. I guess it won't be that bad as to recap all of it huh.. For chistmas this year, i didn't get to go on my usual Frazer's Hill trip with the family. Don't know why, guess everyones busy and christmas being on a tuesday is kinda troublesome. But instead, i spent christmas in Aly's house. Thats rite, i followed her all the way to Seremban for christmas with her family!

It was cool, i've meet them on several occasions before so nothing to be odd about. But there were uneasy moments like she leavin me alone with her dad!! Don't know la, jz can't la.. -.-' .. I think this has been one of the nicest christmases i've had (not tat i celebrate it officialy though:P). There was food.. lots and lots of it, from the time i reached in the afternoon on christmas eve till the time i went back on christmas nite.. Got la ham, devils curry, sausages, pie, more pie, dessert, home made ice cream, roast chickens eggs , etc etc,.. Try to not eat but the food was too tempting la.. hahaha... too bad i can't post any pictures now, MY camera is NOT with ME.. oh well, and to top it off, i got present from her mom n dad summore! :D sweeett!!

Finally got to meet her BFF who's studyin in malacca. But got 1 question, how can ur call that person ur bff whn u don't even know what she's studyin??? :P... and even got to play board games weh!! In the age of PSs, Xbox360s, PCs, its not that often that u hear someone say " lets play Pictionary (or Boggle)". Had fun, slept quite late that nite, and on christmas day, the family left me at home as they went for church! Oh well, wasn't complainin, got Mythbusters on tv at that time, was more thn happy to sit in front of the tele. :)

Well, i guess so much for chirstmas la, as for new years leh, I think this is the first time i'm stayin in kl for new year. Or was i here last year... hmmm.. i can't remember. Anyways, i manage to pujuk aly much enough to spend it wit me, or else i could've spent it all alone.. And oh, for those who don't know, (esp to Yong) Prosperity Burger out d!!!!!!! :D. So anyways, new years eve was spent drinkin beer n vodka blastin music all nite long. Didn't get anywhere near drunk though.. which was good cos wheres the point in that??

So i guess we saw 07 away with beer, loud music and watchin fireworks from various parts of town from my condo.

Guess i'll be needing much longer time and maybe free internet to write my years end review but hey, might be worth the wait, or i jz may be too malas to do so :P
