Turning over a new blog-leaf

Ok I get it... and I totally understand the long-held image of

Phuayfhern's blog=
kulat/
mushroom/

dong-koo/
fungus/
spider web/
mouldy bread

Haiyah I've heard soooo many versions of it larh!

Well at least now i've accomplished Mission-1: that's to create the list of links to my friends' blogs. Wakakakakakka. Creating the list was so what like going to Mars to me ok???

Today I have finally been able to go through the blogs by all my friends by just a quick browsieee.... until I arrived at
CHUA HUI MING's blog. She posted a sweet birthday message for Ah Pei... but who would have thought that the sweet sweet pictures and MemoryLane-ish wishings will end with a blarrrrrdy RODENT???????? OMG!!

(Mickey mouse) Rodent!! What do you expect to see in my blog? of course the Cartoon-version larh!!

These were the sequence to my reactions:

#1: I gasped
#2: I frowned
#3: I closed my eyes and turned my head away
#4: I immediately wanted to leave a comment to "thank" Chua Hui Ming for that careful thought.

Unfortunately, my internet connection went off at the point when I clicked on the "comments" icon, which was so near the rodent-pic! So as you could have imagined, the entire page froze, leaving me and mr.rodent with the most remarkable eye-contact ever. I could literally feel it crawling up my spine larh!


So there you go, what a terrific way of reliving my blogging-life!

Happy burfday Labbie Yeaw, Tze Peiling, Hazel, MinTien (& Adam)

There you go.. all the exam-month babies in ONE GO!!


HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY VyeAW!!
Happy burfday Labbie WeeYeaw: this is his not-so-surprising midnight-surprise on the eve of his birthday *panting*

(and the remaining 3+1 birthday babies) Happy birthday MinTien, Hazel, Tze!!
Heart warming birthday blessings =)

Ok I've at least accomplished my *forcefully* decent side by showing the proper side of the celebrations. *nod* In a way, the celebration was definitely more sober than those we had in Vista during IMU days. Labbie's cake was definitely made by KahYee (Strawberry cake), Hazels' was by Qristine (Chocolate cake), PeiLing's was by me (Oreo cheesecake), and MinTien's was by SuMiin/HeeSiong/KahYee (Carrot cake).


Happy Birthday Hazel: Ooooo.... artistically decorated by Qristine.


Happy birthday Peiling: Am so-not-destined-to-own-a-bakery.

fyi: Me and Alicia actually tried to do some damage control. See larh Min Tien's cake... Even SuMiin's piped-heart shape looks better then my MILO-heart. Gahhhh... I'll just open a store in Pasar malam in the future! yishhhhh.


Happy Birthday MinTien. Can you believe this was done by 2 guys? It was seriously good!


Labbie's cake: Made by KahYee with lots of lots of over-flowing love!


Happy Birthday Adam (MIA).


So there you go. They were absolutely clueless about this. As shown by Hazel and PeiLing's outfit where they wore to Yeaw's surprise birthday party the night before. *Evil grin* PeiLing was even complaining about her F.L.A.T. hair. And knowing Hazel well, she would have dressed up like a peacock had she known that the celebration was meant for her. That girl shed some tears of joy too. Awwwwww hugzzzzz. GOOD JOB EVERYONE!!

ByeBye Spring/Summer 08

Just when I thought the Winter blues are all coming to an end, Glasgow greeted me with a snowy and chilly morning! Bye bye sun bathing. There goes all my fantasy of sun bathing beside a gorgeous tan-skinned macho man....

I'll see you much much later ok?


Hello Winter... my old friend.. yish yish yish!

What are you doing here larh!! yish yish yish!

ZERO appreciation for modern art...

Ok... ok ... I admit! I'm just not a modern art girl! But see whether you agree with me larh! Before I start, better say sorry to Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art.. I remember most of us were doing the "ooohhhh.. Arhhhhh!!" at the sight of this gallery since arrival in Glasgow. Guess what... it's FREE!!!

Glasgow's famous Gallery of Modern Art at the Royal Exchange Square (night)

Perhaps I should just appreciate the outside and stop visiting the entrance of this gallery.

I still can accept this: Yeah... Modern art.....(cracked face)




Monkey, alone : you'll find it in any Malaysian Zoo for RM10
Handcrafted Photo frame, alone: you'll find it in Lovely Lace for RM49.90


Monkey plus handcrafted photo frame: Modern art. Priceless...














Cactus, alone : You'll find it in Sungai Buloh nurseries for RM5 for 3.
Socks, alone : You'll find it in soxworld for RM10 per pair or pasar malam for RM10 for 3

Cactus plus socks: Modern art. Priceless...

Sock monkey: you'll find this in the Gallery's souvenir shop. 3 pounds.

See how ironic modern art can be? I still prefer knowing these objects in their own un-fused forms. Does that make me such a spoiler? Who cares?! Well, perhaps it's better that I resort to my binge eating of cornflakes and chocolates infront of Desperate Housewives.

Can biopharm please speak in English?

I don't like don't like don't like!!

Is there anything wrong with simplifying a process using "normal-chemical-names" instead of the lengthy and bombastic-lookalike (when it's actually NOT) terms?

Anyways, "sluggish" is already my first name. Been zoning out everyday.



official kick-start of zone-outS:
Actually spent 20minutes searching for the animations that best describes back-to-work. But I found this instead: looks like I'm the dinosaur with the cake on the left!
FIY: this pic is already permanently on my desktop!



Let's see, these are what I've done as I was zoning out:

1) Finally answered to my erupting urge to blog (been surpressing myself since beginning of CNY by justifying with myself that the seemed-to-be most appropriate thing to do is to STUDY)

2) Finally, too, joined FaceBook. What a good diversion: if you can't blog, FaceBook then! Ohhhh... I didn't realise how much i've been missing for not joining FaceBook earlier! When Leah asked if Alicia had a FaceBook, she answered in the almost-offended tone: "of coz larh!! you think i'm Phuay Fhern mehhhh.....". Should I start putting more FATs into the dinners starting now? Maybe I should also bake more cheesecake, chocolate drizzled shortbread, puddings? People who know Alicia well will understand my intention.....

3) browsed various foodie-blogs are made Woh-Tip (Pot-stickers) using dumpling-dough made by MYSELF! (what's wrong with me?)

4) compared (time consuming) between recipes and came up with a "perfect breakfast muffin" recipe.

5) went to ebay (again, time consuming) to bid for Dear dear's valentine's gift.

6) In the mean time, searched through Ralph Lauren website to see the authenticity of the item that I was bidding for. (needless to say, SUPER time consuming)

7) started browsing through website to "PAT" potential-mother's-day pressie for mommy. (oh my gosh... it's only February now!)

8) went to BBC. uk's weather page to fulfill my initial intention of checking on Glasgow's weather in this coming 5 days. What seemed to be easily-accomplished within 2 minutes was made complicated, as I went on to check on weathers of Dundee (what has it got to do with me?); Kuala Lumpur (as if it's going to differ much?! as if it's going to affect me?!); Johor (Don't ask!); Muara, Brunei Darussalam (typed "muar" initially becoz that's dad's kampung, but Muara came out instead); heck, I even searched on Maldives!

9) Imeem.com: superb free-streaming of musics!

10) checked BodyShop online because of the e-newsletter that they sent me.

11) checked on online-flowers booking.... was I thinking of sending a bouquet to myself when I bunuh diri for failing Pharmacy?

12) Youtube Iron-Chef, really crappy as the show is biased to the max! Regardless of how good the challenger is, the Iron Chefs (konon larh) still win! Nevertheless, I've covered these in half-day: Battle Pears and Chocolate; Battle Eggs; Battle Noodles; Battle aubergine (check this out as is the one of the RARE ones where the challenger won); Battle Foie Gras (yewwwww, before this I was pronouncing it as it is, but from the show I learned to pronounce it as Fuah Grah.... *blink blink*... erm... my distractions are .. educational??!! *Nod* *justified!*); Battle Jumbo Mushrooms; Battle Sushi...... etc etc

13) --------------------------------------i think 100)-ish?

ARGGHHHHH!!!!

Oh, did I mention that I'm currently at the irreversible, irreparable daily rates of at least 3 series of desperate housewives; 2 series of crunchyrolls (dun care whether it's cantonese; korean; japanese; or tagalog!); and lots of iron chefs!

perhaps I shouldn't list the tv-craze out, because ... isn't it normal?? ;P

HAPPY CNY!!

As I was telling Voon earlier, "looks like we've redefined the impression of studying-overseas". Perhaps not dad and mom since they know the degree of syok-syok-sendiri-ness that we are having here, but aunties and uncles actually thought we're going to eat maggie mee for the rest of CNY!! KAKA! puuhhhh leeeaasseee!! Maggie mee is supper larhhh!!

I'm just going to put a summary (OOO... am so organized) here so that I'll know which pictures I should be hunting to upload them later after our BK-Fusion V-Date later.....

On CNY reunion night, we had a 9-course dinner, and 1 of them had 4 dishes in it (4 seasons)!! Oh yes, we've also got super-small-eaters on board: LeeYin, Ally, Christine, Fionna & SuAnn. Can i conveniently include Ming as well? (she's so going to kill me) We were so full that we actually walked to George Square in shorts, flip-flops, and a Genting-ish jacket (Note: we're in Scottish winter night). When we got back, there was another session to stuff (all food has lost its taste) ourselves with XinHui's bday cake. *burp!*

On first day of CNY, we had a CNY dinner party for the whole batch with our ang-moh lecturers and batchmates.

On 2nd day of CNY, we went out to celebrate XinHui's belated birthday at Ichiban japanese noodle cafe at Queens Street.

On 3rd day of CNY, we had our bahagia steamboat followed by Bailey's. Ohhh... will definitely post pictures of this as SuAnn was sooo flushed! Eng mama is definitely going to ask her to stay away from this bunch of friends! bye bye klang seafood....

Seems like there's no difference between CNY in glasgow and malaysia! haha.
