soh happey...

yesterday was funnnnn...

in the afternoon I went out for lunch with Amanda,Jia Lynn and Yee Mei at i-Dragon Pyramid then went window shopping.The food at i-Dragon was ok,but the service was horrible.The waiters and waiteresses were quite lan c.But the interior design was good.Their private seating areas looked a lot like some family dining areas in Melaka.

Later XiaXun and Sook Cheng decided to impromptu go to Pyramid as well, with their friends Elizabeth and Leonard.(Leonard really looks like Josh.hahah...)Anyways, we ended up in Starbucks and the group treated me to cake for my birthday.

Thanks people!!!

We saw that Hui Xian returned to work at Waffle World for the Raya holidays.I didn't know working for a few days was possible.So when we went to meet her,guess who we saw?? A primary schoolmate by the name of Wei Jie(is it spelt correctly?).He was is Sook's class in Primary 6,not my personal friend,but i vaguely remember him as "one of the pengawas in the first class"(there were a looooot of pengawas in the first class man...)


Then later when I got back, XiaXun suddenly asked me whether I wanted to go out again for a movie.lol...these people are really that impromptu.So after a quick dinner at home and a bath I went out again to 1 Utama this time.Sook and Leonard were there too,and Elizabeth had to go for a church dinner.Apparently another one of Sook's primary school friends was supposed to join us too for dinner(their dinner,not mine) but changed plans later.We were supposed to watch Hairspray but changed plans later and watched the Bourne Ultimatum instead.Seating was sad,we were in the 3rd row from the front,so we had to sort of lean back a bit and cock out heads to one side to see.And still the picture was not tha clear.Hmph...learned our lesson,next time book tickets early even if everyone is supposedly balik-ing kampung.The movie ended at around midnight and eventhough the rest of the mall was cleared of for the night,the bowling alley and carpark were still packed.So walking back to the car wasn't as much of a horror thriller as I expected it to be.You know how Malaysia is getting more and more "horror-thriller" nowadays.Especially around Taylors college.A lot of perverts with a sprinkling of robbers and midnight gangsters of foreign decend for taste.

I have a picture of a competition slip we jokingly entered at Sushi king,thanks to Sook's dramatic literary and illustratory skills,but i'll upload it later.

which Harry Potter character are you?

Which Harry Potter Character Are You?

My Result: Ginny Weasley

You rarely need Polyjuice potion because you're usually happy just being you! While you might not make the biggest splash or cause drama, you slowly and steadily win over lots of people who think you're pretty darn wonderful. While you can be a little shy and self-conscious at times (especially around a crush), you're probably considered to be a BFF by more than just one person.


Luckily, your talents aren't just the magic kind. You're also kind and smart and just great to be around. Looks like you'll have a very charmed life indeed!

Take this test >

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEH!!!

18 this year and officially legal by Malaysian standards.Not the fake 'legal' as in '16 years old and legal' kind of legal,but the real legal kind of legal.

I received a package yesterday from my 2 sisters and brother in law.Good timing.hahah. And a good choice of presents as well.

First up ,the red and black themed stationary that I suspect might have been chosen by my second sister.Check out that huge red pencilcase.It's like a small pillow minus the stuffing.




i think now there might be a problem about getting myself to use stuff that looks as good as that...

Also...something that almost made me laugh...



MUCHA!

lol

you guys are gonna shoot me soon if this Mucha frenzy continues any longer.
By elimination I think that was chosen by my eldest sis and husband.

Yep.

Smiggle and SMoochy for my birthday.

Then for dinner today,my parents and I were looking for seafood.But the place we wanted to go to apparently shifted to Shah Alam.Plan B restaurant wasn't open for some reason. So plan C, we ate at a coffee shop in...err...USJ 8 issit? But the butter prawns were nice.It was what they called the 'watery' kind of butter,but it was actually kind of creamy and curry-ish.I suspect there might have been mayonaise or eggs involved in the sauce.

my painter progress

just for fun,It looks ok when I zoom in but horrible when I zoom out.

Because I got the proportions wrong.

Because I couldn't see the lineart and just painted according to my assumptions.

edit: OMG...they way I cropped it he looks like he's doing the "Taiwanese girl 1-2-3" pose...But I swear he's not.

oh good...

the rain is over,so now i can continue.

Today my parents were driving pass the junction to USJ Giant when we saw this group of people holding a banner to advertise a blood donation campaign.My mom was saying that most donors are Muslim,so during fasting month there's usually a shortage of donors. So I thought of a wonderfully dandy idea.

They should have a blood donation campaign with the theme of vampires,since so many people are vampire fans.Anne Rice and goth fans so forth.You know,it should be like that hospital themed bar in Tokyo.Something of a novelty and just that little bit racy.With leng chai...*ahak.*Ididnotsaythat ...donation staff dressed in vampire costumes.I can just imagine Anisa donating blood and humming absent mindedly and murmering something like "Armaaaaannnnnddddddfebwbadbaebg........"

For sure the vampire fan donors' blood will flow a bit faster if there are lengchai*ahak* I mean vampire dressed staff attending to them.

ohohohohohoooooo...now if only I can get this idea across to the health ministry.

Movie critics

edit: in a report the next day ,manufacturers claim that melamine is safe to use for eating,unless food is hot.So in short, don't use melamine...duh...

I was on a movie marathon thanks to Tim Burton researching for a week. So in the end I youtubed up "The Nightmare Before Christmas"," Big Fish" and "Sleepy Hollow".

In my opinion Big Fish was the best of the three,and is fantastic by itself.It's very touching and has that rare surreal quality that i like so much.*Check out the town of Spectre* I recommend that you go watch it too.I especially like the part when the main character comes back from war.T-T.The ending of the movie is perfect.

The Nightmare before Christmas was just screaming TIM BURTON all the way.Hahah...I like the characters, especially the Mayor(I have wierd likings for characters.Of all characters, in Corpse Bride I liked Elder Gutnickt and the butler the most...).I feel so inspired to become as creative as Tim Burton one day.So prolly Burton will have the most influence on my visual com project, seeing how things are now.

Sleepy Hollow starred Johnny Depp( surprise surprise) but this time surprisingly I didn't think that he did such a good job.But the storyline was still good,(or was it the action that made it interesting?)Ahhhhhh...nothing like a good gory movie to bring out the cavewoman in you.Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, who also worked on A Series of Unfortunate Events, did a good job on this movie too, so I think I've just found a new name to add to my stalk list.

Melamine???

The other day there was an article in the Star about melamine tableware.Seems that using melamine dishes for hot food is hazardous to health because it is made of urea and formaldehyde.Hot food can make those chemicals leak out of the dishes and that can cause blindness,rashes and cancer.So...just watch out.It's those kind of material that looks like plastic,but you can check from the label at the bottom of the dish.Meanwhile,my family has replaced all our melamine (fine...except the sauce dishes,but those usually contain cold chili sauce)to porcelaine.

In other news,i was researching on Tim Burton today.I feel so inspired.I think I have to really find an individual style of my own and make it popular.This guy's incredible.Eventhough he had a lot of failures,still he made so many movies that either way a lot of them did very well and he's become a household name.
