At times you wouldn't realize what is more important for your life. Sometimes what you think is the most important will change after something happen. And I guess this is life. Decision make up life and life changes decision. Does this make sense? Anyway if you have a dream or an ambition, go for it. Don't wait, you might just lost your chances. Well, put away those complicated mind. Yesterday, I went back to my grandma's house. Was meant to be today but we suddenly decide to visit yesterday. Was very fun and there was so many relative that I have not meet up for a long time. Before my family and I vist, I made some muffins and Chinese 'far gao'. The muffins went a bit weird look but the fa gao look very nice. Just a bit more better improve needed for the fa gao as the middle part was a bit wet. Grandma was very happy but she look very tired to me. I think because she have been very busy for the whole day. Grandpa was still the same, and my dad actually spent whole night charting with him, which is good. Then we had dinner and chatting and all. We came back home around 10pm and arrive about 11pm. I finish my day just by making muffins,fa gao and visit my grandma. Little schedule but fun day =)

Happy Chinese new year everyone! Wish you all a prosperous year and wishes come true! Right now I am stil in Malaysia, being a girl having a great life eating all good food and gaining weight :S Anyway I haven't got official letter from the school yet which is very slow and I hope I can get it tomorrow. Also I haven't buy a flight ticket yet, I might not have a ticket back so, well just don't know what to do now without the letter. Chinese new year is up, what are your plans? I will be visiting my grands on on Tuesday so I will bake some muffins and chinese 'fa gao' which is Chinese style cake, steamed not bake tomorrow and bring them to my grandma. My family is not the very very tradition family, like I mean we don't follow up all the cultural. We only follow some.Today we had the family dinner which is Chinese family have it together the whole family before the new year come,perhaps I guess should call it 'new year's eve dinner'. Then parents give us red packets as a good start for the kid for the upcoming year ahead. And young ones like me will get red packets from elder sister or brother too. So long the ones are married are usually the ones having to give the red packets. Right,I will update the recipes and my day at my grandma's house soon =)

11/1/12

It has really been awhile since my last update. I had been really busy with house security stuff and so. Last sundaynmy family and I went out for dinner and our house got rob in. We were out for only 30 minutes at round 8pm and this happened. It's kind of hard to think that they can rob in within 30minutes. Also they came in from the window with a very very smal hole. But anyway thank god there is no one home so no one got hurt. Everyone do take care of your safety and be aware of who is around you and so. We got stuff stolen and damn thing my laptop got stolen. I revived the iPad I ordered last Friday since there was an offer. But sadly my laptop is gone. My mum said 'old one go and new ones come' so well I should feel balance yea? Then next up I should update what I did the last few days. I was kind of a housewife when my mum was not home. I prepared breakfast and dinner also I bake muffins and cookies for breakfasts. Then I clean up my house and exercise actively most of the time before Sunday. After rob case happened, I was up and not sleep for 32 hours as I couldn't believe and calm down myself about my laptop was stolen. The day after mostly we got alarm, CCTV and so update and check ups. And I handy remember when, my house got two kittens. There were new born like probably 1-2 weeks and was left around my dad's company. My bro took it back and we are thinking to feed them until they are a bit grown up. Photos will be up soon if I am not that busy this few days and surprisely my dog is having lots of fun with this 2 little kittens. Today mainly I did nothing the whole day and consider sleep most of the time. Although I had kind of bad start for 2012 I still hope everyone take care and be happy. Chinese new year is coming up in two weeks I think. Happy new year and have a prosperous for this year ahead. Also very importantly, be healthy.

06/01/2012 -Active day

Today it's a very active day for me as I feel really energetic after exercise and working stuffs at home.

I start off my day today about 6.10 in the morning. I made breakfast for my dad, bro and sis-in-law since my mum is not home. I warm up leftover pizza for my sis-in-law and my bro and I scrambled eggs for my dad since he's not feeling well for pizza. Then there is coffee for sure, for my dad and bro. Boost their energy a bit before having a long working day. Then I cook soy-milk. Hmm or I should say I made soy-milk?Anyway is freshly homemade soy-milk for three of them to bring for work.

After dad and bro left to work,I did the laundry then wash the dishes and I did housework. I vacuumed whole of my house. Wait I meant the whole of 1st-storey. Then I started with my exercise. First up, 30minutes of running/jogging. Then I did 100times of skipping rope. Was meant to do 1600 times and above to see good result but it's too hard too keep up as I haven't been exercising that much lately.

Then I had my shower, hang up clothes that I washed in the morning and then I did brownies. I used the easy recipes which is the 'Nano brownies pack' They mix everything together. So what you need is 2 eggs, a little bit of oil and water. All instructions are clearly stated on the box.

And it's all done. Breakfast for tomorrow =)

After jacuzzi we went to dinner at a Japanese Restaurant in Sutera Mall area. I wasn't feeling well that moment, what I had was just green tea, since they don't have other hot drinks.

A little day with Eve and Soo Suen 22/12/2011

Today I had a little day spent at Tebrau City Jusco with Eve and Soo Suen. We had lunch at a ramen shop I am not sure what's the name and we walk around the whole day. But the most fun was we took a lot of photos with the photo machine. Was much more cheaper than the one in City Square. And effects are really good except they have auto enlargement for eyes and looks a bit weird but is still alright.

The time flied fast. We spend most of time taking photo and chi chat-ing. We spent up out money with food and photo, we are good girl ain't we? Cause we spent up for fun and memory not on goodies XD

Anyway I am kind of tired. Just want a little update since I skip my last 2days' update.
I'll try to update more often if i have something interesting. So well good night everyone.

18/12/2011

Hey hey it's a kind of late post today. But I actually woke up at 8pm D: I slept for like a night and a day.. But never mind. I finished up my iphone case DIY just now. Was not really good for the first try but since is first try better than nothing. I spent about an hour finishing the case. Hopefully the next one will be better :D

Although there is quite a lot of glue marks but is not really obvious on my little black iphone. so i will probably use it i think =D

17/12/2011- A day in Singapore with Peeko

Was a great day in Singapore with Peeko =) Although the weather is a bit bad in the afternoon with the rain and all but still we have fun chatting. Was really tiring as we walked a lot. And sorry Peeko, for bringing to a wrong way. Hope you enjoyed today.

My plan in Singapore was mainly to 1; meeting Peeko. 2; meeting my aunts and 3; get rhinestones to DIY my iphone case.
I finish my plan well and get what should have get.

First thing in the morning. I left house and went to Bukit Indah to get the bus. I took CW6 to Boon Lay. It goes towards Gelang Patah and then to Boon Lay. It took nearly an hour. Which is quite fast.

After getting off the bus which is Boon Lay, Jurong Point Shopping Centre is just by the side. I went in with my mum, first toilet second breakfast.

After breakfast we walk around to wait for my aunt.

I search a lot of rhinestones on websites about where the shops and all. Today, I went to 2 of the shops. One is in Arab St [Bugis]. Which was pretty ok with the prices. But I realize the one I got in Jurong point Shopping Central [ Boon Lay] was also quite good.

This is some of what I got from Jurong Point Shopping Central.

After meeting aunt, I left and travel towards to Bugis to meet up Peeko. She was with her parents having lunch at farrer park. Then we decide to meet back in Bugis MRT station which where I should meet her up. Before she came I went to the rhinestones store which is know as Kin Lee & company which is down at Arab St. I grab some of the rhinestone which I wanted also.
And I head back to the station and Peeko is here! We met up and we decide to travel to Orchard.

Orchard was very busy today.With lots of people shopping, I guess because Christmas and New year is coming up! It took us about 10 minutes to reach. Was a station from Bugis to City Hall and then change to North South line, three station from city hall to Orchard. We walk a lot in Orchard road. From about 2pm till 5.30pm only we left. First we walk all the way from the Orchard MRT station to Orchard Central Point, Mandarin Orchard. Was raining so we sort of slow down.
First thing we got, and which is also why I wanted to visit that shopping central was STICKY CANDY. It's just and the left side from the entry door.

After sticky candy we walk up to the upper floor and came down just to look around. Then the journey continues to Takashimaya. I saw this Japanese Cake. I brought a size M one for breakfast tomorrow. And we continue to Ion Orchard. We were trying to get a place for tea time. But seriously there was too many people we couldn't find a place with seats. Around 5pm, we finally settle down at a fast food shop near the MRT. We had some snack and we left around 5.30pm.

the japanese cake and sicky candy.

After separate from Peeko, I went to Queenstown by MRT to meet my aunt. We had dinner around that area. Was dumplings and soups and a lot more. I really enjoyed the dinner. Finish up dinner aunt drop my mum and me at Boon Lay and we took CW6 back to JB.

Was a great time catching up with my 2 aunts and 3 little cousin. Also Peeko, I hope you enjoyed your day, take care and I shall see you soon.

16/12/11

It has been ages after my last update.  I know, it's always this word with my every update. I sort of forgot about my blog here. I was super bored and moody viewing lots of profiles on facebook. And I saw my dear sis, Soo Suen's blogspot then I remembered I actually use to have one. Since I am moody I should actually update here and speck all I want here.


The 'thing' that really made me moody was just a small matter. I seem a bit childish with this and somewhat stupid. I realize something in Melbourne which should call it a so true matter.
This matter happen long ago. Which was like I lost some stuff in my homestay family, and for sure, there is no one gonna own up. There was this housemate telling me what she also lost and she got enough of this bla bla bla and all. And today I realize one of the shirt that I lost is with her. She was wearing it and took a photo and uploaded on facebook. I know it's just a shirt. Nothing much right? But I am so moody and somehow unhappy about it. I think mainly causing this is because i use to trust her so much. Taking her as a real friend and this is what I've got.

As 2years pass without any review I am sort of regret for going to Melbourne. Cause there is too many people cannot be trusted out there. The friends in Malaysia should be the only ones called the real friends.But I still got a few good friends in Melbourne. So I am kind of stuck with what I am thinking.

As I grow up I realize friends will always quarrel and having misunderstanding ones a while. I am sorry if I hurt you before but I'll never bite you so please don't stay away from me. Tell me if you are unhappy and also forgive me because I am sometimes unreasonable.

Comparing to last 2 years, this year I have much more catch up with my old friends. Especially the old classmates and school. Hmm 8 years of friendship, not pretty long but also not short. Everyone gonna leave soon for their college/uni and even setting up family soon.And myself here is still kind of lost and don't know what to do,

I hope I'll still have my great friends and they wouldn't feel that I am really a big trouble bringing me along their life.

Christine Ler.
