Ok today, I won't blog about anything. 

(Ya right... wtf am I doing now)

My violin lesson is in a few hours time so I need to really practice now otherwise Imma die. Not that he(teacher) will kill me but the fact that he doesn't say anything, is even more scary. Sometimes, silence is the best teacher.

I'm tagged by the lovely Manda! Yay! I love doing tags. Er... I don't mean lame ones like what did you do 5 minutes ago who was the last person you called what was the last drink you had etc. It's a girly, What's In Your Bag tag. Actually I've done it before but oh well, girls change their minds so often. So do their bags and what's inside! Will do it maybe tonight or tomorrow.

Ciao.

Want some curry puffs?

FRUSTRATEDDDDDDDDD.

>:(

For some reason my stupid webcam won't show up neither in skype nor msn. WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!! FTS. So now I can see Wk but he can't see me. Celaka.

Anyway, if you're craving for curry puffs and you happen to be around Damansara, look for O'Papa cafe. They sell the best curry puffs everrrrr. And along with some other puffs which I really like too! My mom's, and also most of us in the family's favourite is the Durian Puff. I can see Esther cringing as she reads this lol. Ok for those durian lovers out there, Durian Puff is a must-try. They also have other pretty cool puffs like Black Pepper, Otah (I think it's otak otak), Sardine, Yam etc. And besides puffs, they have a lot of other types of pastries. Next time I shall try the egg tarts.

Soooo naisss! It's basically Black pepper chicken chunks and potatoes.

Speaking of O'papa, Shin Dhee told me O'papa is actually a cafe run by Pappa Rich! Ooohhh now I know! Lol. No, seriously. It's under Pappa Rich. Which explains the name.

Speaking of Pappa Rich, my brother once asked me,

"So today where you ate at?"
"Pappa Rich"
"Huh. Eat expensive stuff. You think your pappa very rich la now eat at Pappa Rich."
"HAHAHAHHA WTF!"

Ooh and speaking of Shin Dhee, I didn't know she's actually working so near the place I work at, which is at my dad's gallery at Damansara Uptown! I tweeted about O'papa and that was how we found out we both are working nearby. So during lunch hour, she dropped by my place and brought me some freebies!!! Yay free things!!! Lol. Who doesn't like free things? =D

She's currently working at ACP, a company which publishes those beauty magazines like what you see in the picture above.

So she brought me some cos she told me there's a lot of extra in the office and since I keep complaining that I'm bored working in the gallery, she gave some to me. Isn't she super nice?! =D

Incidentally all the magazines which she gave me, I haven't read/bought any of them! Coolness. I mean I do buy beauty magazines once in a while but I don't do it every month. Even if I do, I'll only get 1 or 2 so I was lucky everything was brand new as in not just the condition but also those are the ones which I have not read/bought.

Ok last update, I repainted my nails! I have this habit of not removing ugly, chipped, wearing off nail polish on my nails. It happens so frequently that Wai Loon once asked me,

" Is this a trend or what? This chipped nail polish thing. Cos everytime we meet I'll see you having this chipped nail polish, each time with a different colour. "

LOLLLL. I'm just lazy lah cannot meh... seriously I don't have so much patience to do it every week lor -_-

Anyway.

I mix these two colours together, a little trick I discovered from my laziness. I was still having some chipped, wearing off brown on my nails and I wanted to try that gold one but I was lazy to remove so I just painted the gold on top and discovered a new colour which looks quite cool. Both colours are actually very ugly on its own but when mixed, whoa. It became this golden olive colour.

Ok till then! Thanks for reading lovely readers!

Ok. I might need to cancel the trip to Singapore to watch Joshua Bell perform in the Esplanade. Not that I seriously cannot afford to but if I go, I might be suffocating on the rest of the days in June. Also might need to save up for violin ATCL exam's registration for this year if I'm taking, which needs at least 1k there FML. Why can't I be born with a silver spoon in my mouth? Haih. T_T

My stupid violin case of almost 5 years now, is finally acting up on me. Well, not completely damaged or anything but it's starting to look bad and work (slightly?) not so properly anymore.


Look how pathetic the zippers are.

Anyhow, I've been thinking of getting a new case for some time already but I don't wanna just get "a" violin case. I want Bam... like this, or this. 
 
Sigh money money money.

I'm a shop assistant slash music teacher.

Taken in my work place's (dad's gallery) toilet haha.

Placed an order for McDelivery cos I'm all alone today in the gallery, the other lady took leave. It's getting pretty boring working here eventhough there's access to the internet. The other guy who used to work here full time has been sacked (thank goodness btw), I've mentioned this in my twitter. Like I said before, I tweet quite regularly so if you're really nosy, follow me on twitter =)

Let me just explain briefly what I'm supposed to do here on days I'm not teaching music.

This place is a gallery/framing shop. We sell artworks and we also do framing/mirror/glass stuffs. My job here is to sit at the counter, handle walk in customers, sometimes deal with contracts/projects if there's any, promote and sell the artworks, keeping the place clean etc. Ultimately, a shop assistant. This shop needs someone to be around, which is what my dad is lacking. If you're wondering why he can't take care of it himself, it's because he has his other shops to take care of. He usually goes there more often than here because those outlets are where his less trustworthy workers work and it needs more attention and checking up on.

Business has been pretty stagnant these days since the end of CNY.

Ooh my food has arrived.


Ok later! *nom nom nom...

"Older Posts" Missing?

Saturday, May 8, 2010
Wah eversince I stopped updating regularly, the amount of readers I get everyday has dropped so much. When my life had a lot of happenings, people read. When it got boring, people leave. Now I know how nosy some people are lol. Not that I care anyway. This blog only serves as an update to my friends who matter. But it sometimes pleasantly surprises me when silent readers leave a comment or two so, in case you're wondering, I actually do enjoy that tiny attention =)

Ok I'm getting bored with this layout I have in my blog. No matter how many times I change a layout, I can never get something which matches what I like. Apart from the header which I *proud* made myself lalala.

I just noticed that at the bottom of the page, the "Older Posts" option (or whatever it's called) is missing! Where can!

I remember seeing it when I first did this layout. Now it's gone for some unknown reason. If you have read up till here, please do me a favour by telling me whether or not you see the "Older Posts" link at the bottom of the page? I need to know if it's just my computer/server's problem, or not.

Ok that's all for today.

Hello hello

I've updated my other blog on things I bought. Spent so many hours to type it all out and post it.

Now, I feel so lazy to update here lol.

Well, nothing much. I'm STILL working in my dad's place. I'm STILL in a relationship with Wei Kiat. OHHH speaking of that, I've recently changed my relationship status in Facebook to something which attracted a lot of attention. Seriously, what is engagement to you guys? To me, it's nothing. I believe that when you've found the right one, you've spent almost half of your life with him, you've been talking about life together in the future, about marriage, about plans and stuffs, that shows how you're engaged in that relationship already. What's with engagement ring engagement dinner engagement party and then after that got wedding ring wedding ceremony wedding dinner wedding party walaoeh!!

Can we just keep everything simple ah?

Honestly, I don't see the point in announcing to everyone that I'm engaged or married or whatsoever. One of these days, I might even be married without you guys knowing it. Because I don't see the need to announce. Maybe a few very close friends and family.

Ok back to Facebook relationship status, honestly, I don't really care about that function. I set it only because it's there. And changing it for the fun of it. Now I know why some people like doing it, changing relationship status. You get that temprary attention from people. Not saying I'm loving it ok I don't need that kinda attention.

I changed mine to engaged but really, nothing happened between us. But hey, me and him we've been together for almost 8 years now. And we've never even talked about engagement before lol. So, just an explanation here cos I will never bother to explain in my Facebook.

Currently reading:

1. Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
2. The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga

Currently on a ______ obsession:

1. Music Books. I'm looking for that Carl Flesh Scales book and Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3. I think I am now in love with Rachmaninof's Vocalise and all the Paganini's Etudes and Caprices for Violin. I know I can't play many of those yet, but it's good to keep books as references and for future use. For music books, I  never support photocopies. For myself I mean. I only photocopy and use them when I know I'll be using them a lot and I don't want to ruin the original book.
2. That buy 1 get 2nd 50% off promotion at Popular Bookstore. I just bought 2 books the other day from that promo (The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami), thinking of getting another 2... maybe that two books by Khaled Hosseini.

Currently feeling happy cos:

1. My Nars Sheer Glow Foundation just arrived from the US yesterday! I bought it (Wk paid for it HAHAHHA) more than 2 weeks ago and was beginning to be worried until yesterday.
2. I might take the Trinity ATCL Violin exam this year. Happiness didn't come from myself deciding to take it, but someone good in the violin telling me I can take it given that I work hard enough for it. Now it's just a matter of finding out when is the registration date closing.

Currently annoyed by:

That stupid book stockist. Everytime I asked them to help me get some books which were not available in the store, it never happened. What's annoying is not when they couldn't find it, but when they asked me to leave my contact number and promised they'll call and they never did. If they're not planning to look for it for me, then don't promise! At least I won't be waiting for their call like an idiot. Despite all that, I still buy from them. Just because I'm too lazy to go all the way to KL to find. Grrrr.

Currently planning to go:

1. Pangkor and Ipoh this end of May with Cat and Jian.
2. Singapore this middle of June to watch Joshua Bell's concert!
Ok gotta go. Thanks for reading all you lovely readers! :)
