Coincidences.
It fascinates me sometimes.
In the morning, my friend told me about a room for rent in a house where a 40 year old lady teacher lives.
In the afternoon, my cousin told me about a room for rent where a 40 year old lady teacher lives. My cousin’s friend was living in the room but moved out because she was transferred to her hometown.
5 minutes later, I went to wash my car in a car wash place. I saw a lady about a couple of years older than me. I can tell she was a teacher. I dunno… you just have this instinct if you saw someone and can tell that they’re a teacher huhu anyway, she had one glance at me and asked, “Are you a teacher?” hehe I dunno whether I’m glad or not that she recognized me as a teacher too.
She then said, “Are you from KK?” I nodded and answered, “Yes” simultaneously.
“Are you Jessie’s cousin?” Everything clicked and we laughed.
What a small world. To meet her there was so amusing to me. We chatted till her car was ready. She said the house where the room is at is complete with tv, washing machine, icebox, etc… And how when she was posted here, she was given a school so far from town the phone reception is zero.
She cried for two weeks before she accepted her fate. I am fortunate enough to be posted near town.
This story will have a great ending if I end up living in the house where a 40 year old lady teacher lives. I can’t go there when my daddy and mummy have already bought me an icebox, rice cooker and a stove in KK.
“It’s a shame…” I said as I exited the car wash. Had my cousin told me about this yesterday, I would’ve gone to live with the 40 year old lady teacher.
Oh great… a cursed escaped my mouth as I switched on the wiper.
I suppose it’s just a coincidence that it rains just after my car is squeaky clean, eh?

360 degrees of fireworks.
Happy Chinese New Year everyone~! It's the year of the rabbit and guess who's born under this chinese zodiac? hohoho moi. Yours truly. Yeah you got the idea, it's me~! Huhuhu
I was at my aunty's house on CNY eve and at midnight, the sky was so beautiful~! If you look up the sky and turn 360 degrees, everything you see is fireworks hohoho I regretted not bringing a better camera. This is shot with my handphone.
My aunt's Chinese neighbour launched their firework and it was a first for me to watch fireworks directly below it. It was magical and my mouth just wouldn't shut as I gawked at the kaleidoscope of colors.
I hope this year will be a year full of wealth, good health, harmony and love all around. For me and for you.
This is quite a special year for me because this year marks the first ever year of working. I found out that I'll be teaching in Tambunan, about 1 1/4 hour from Donggongon. Lots of people can get there in 1 hour but not me hahaha I'm such a slow driver.
I hope the school can be reached by Mr. Grey Myvi hohoho hope there's a phone line, electric and water. I'm demanding too much eh?
I'm eager to know where I'm posted at hohoho heard the letters will arrive this monday.
Happy CNY everyone~!

It's short~!
I've been having long hair for so long.
The reason I don't cut it shorter than my shoulder is because my hair is thick. I'm afraid it'll go berserk. Berserk as in it'll go really kembang. Think like a lion's mane. Hahaha
But after my sister cut her hair short, it looked nice. She has thick hair too, the only thing we have in common because we absolutely don't look alike~! Rest assure, we were not picked up from the drain or something. My sister looks like my mummy and I am a carbon copy of my daddy.
Because time is insanely ample these days thanks to me being not posted yet, I cut my own hair the other day. Not the whole thing, just my bangs (thank God~!)
At some point, I can see the resemblence between Abu Bakar Ellah and I wakakakakaka XD
Anyway, I decided to just cut my hair short to fo with the short bangs I marvelously created for myself. Went to a salloon in Tuaran because cutting hair in KK is soooooo pricey~!
Besides, I have a bad experience here in Donggongon. The guy looked professional but when he cut my hair, he used a flat iron (maybe because my hair is originally curly, he couldn't cut it evenly, but I don't know... I just ruined my bangs) AND my hair turned out butt ugly~! Damn that guy.
Some hairstylists just don't get how to handle hair like mine. Another reason I don't fancy going to salloons. They just complaint that I've got really thick and curly hair and do a really bad job at it. They charge extra for that too~! I'd pay with a wide smile if they did a good job at it but sadly they don't.
A salloon in Tuaran knows how to handle my hair though... that's why I like it there. Well, I found out through Facebook that a schoolmate of mine opened a salloon in Tuaran but I couldn't find it so I just went to my regular salloon.
I now have the greatest respect for barbers and hairstylists alike for your great talent of making people's hair pretty.

Passpot photo hahaha complete with blue background. Heh, this one may look okay. Wait till you see the side view.
There it is~! I'm sorry the pictures aren't that good in quality. All of my pics in this post is taken from my phone camera. Bida betul rambut depan tu~!

Freshly cut~! So short~!!! Hohoho
When I went out with Dudu to watch Gulliver's Travels last Monday. Short hair have a lot of perks... I use less shampoo and it dries faster huhu

Happy New Year a day too late
Hi~!
Happy New Year 2011. The first few days of the year will be a bit confusing yeah? We'll be writing the year as 1.2.2010 because we're still used to writing 2010. Hohoho (Or is it just me?)
What's your new year resolution? Huuu.... This year I ain't got no resolution. I know myself very well that I won't keep it. Like last year, I said I wanted to save a lot of money off my allowance but naaaaah, I couldn't do it. Too much temptation and I'm so weak hahaha
Talking about money, tomorrow is the start of school and if my studies weren't complete yet, I'd be worrying over going to class tomorrow. But, if I'm still a student, I'd be looking forward to the semester allowance instead of now, jobless and moneyless. *sigh sigh*
2010 for me was enlightening.
I lived in an apartment with 5 other BFFs.
Went mandi sungai with them when our apartment had no water supply hoho
I have a car of my own~! Last month he was dented but recovered quickly~!
Went to the Philippines with my friends.
Busy and sick of doing my action research and finally presenting it in front of panels and audience. Was very scared.
I must've talked like a ghost is trying to catch me. I tend to speak really fast when I'm nervous huhu
Made a record of the worst gambling lost in my gambling history.
Finished my 5 1/2 years of degree. (But still have not been posted)
Was touched with my students who cried when my practical was over.
Got better at baking thanks to my sister.
Finally swam without any help from anything or anyone~!
Got addicted to SHINee wahaha
I hope 2011 will be a good year for all of us. May the new year grace us with love, good health and wealth.

Butter Cake recipe (Requested by Ninang)
Baking cakes are fun~! This recipe is simple and it works.
Ingredients:
250g butter
1 ½ cup castor sugar (normal sugar is also ok)
4 eggs
4 cups of self-raising flour
1 cup of fresh milk
Vanilla essence
1/4 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate
1/4 teaspoon of double raising powder
Filling (Whatever you want. Chocolate rice or choc chips, mix fruits, cherries, sultana,...)
How to:
1) Make sure butter is in room temperature (not too hard). Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
2) Add egg one by one. (Put the first egg then beat. Put the second egg and then beat…you get the idea.)
3) Add vanilla essence (as much as you like. I always put 1 ½ teaspoon or more because I like the smell of vanilla)
4) 2 cups of self-raising flour and then fold using a metal spoon. Cease folding when flour is no longer visible. Do not over fold.
5) Add the fresh milk.
6) Add the remaining 2 cups of flour. Fold.
7) Add sodium bicarbonate and double raising powder. It’s ok if you don’t have any double raising powder (Put 1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate if you don't have double raising). The cake will still rise.
8) If you have some fillings, insert now and fold.
9) Heat the oven.
10) Bake at 170’ C for about 45 minutes.
11) Let me have a slice of your cake~!
P/S: If your filling is sweet, don't put in too much sugar. I like to put 1/2 to 3/4 cup of sugar depending on my filling. My sister once replaced fresh milk with susu cap junjung and she said it works just as well. I've never tried it though.
P/P/S: Good luck Ninang~!
P/P/P/S: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011~! May we all be blessed with good health, love and wealth~!

Baked a cake
Hohoho if you're not familiar with me, Angie is my first niece. She is my big brother's eldest child.
9 days ago, she turned 5.
9 days ago, she turned 5.
Aton and Angie
Baked a cake for her~! My mum & sister thinks I've put too much sodium bicarbonate (self-raising powder) and that they can smell it in the cake but I smell nothing~! Huhuhu maybe my sense of smell is rotting.
Here she is helping me making the fondant.
Got tired and took an unexpected nap like this. She was really sleeping, I thought she was bluffing but bluff she didn't~!
The product~! Hohoho it looks messy. I feel sorry for Angie because she had to endure this creation as her birthday cake.
But she said she liked it very much~! : D ...and no, we're not Chinese haha Angie picked that red cheongsam herself.
Sister in-law, Aton, Angie, Big bro. The happy birthday headband was too small for his head wakaka
Birthday girl blowing out her candles~! ---and Aton having a fit beside her. He wants to blow the candles too.
... and so his mum had to light the candles again just so he can blow it out.
I absolutely salute parents~! Taking care of kids are not easy. Or perhaps I'm just not gifted in that area. I am always a bit kind to them, giving them what they want and let them have their way huhuhu that's one way to let your head get stomped by their little feet XD
Anyway, it's Christmas Eve~! Merry Christmas to everyone and don't forget to leave the cookies and milk beside your Christmas tree~! HO HO HO

2D vs 3D
Today, I'd like to giveout my thoughts about watching movies in 2D and 3D. It's just my opinion though huhu I might change my mind in coming years hohoho
Point #1 = Expectation
3D: When I want to watch movies in 3D, my mind plays scenes of that movie (from the trailer) in my head and I start to build a really high hope for that movie. Thinking off all that out-of-screen effects and when it's not up to my expectation, the movie will suck (for me).
2D: Nothing to expect unless friends or reviews says that it blows the mind away but it doesn't blow my mind. Get what I mean? Huhu
Point #2 = Price
3D: RM15 in GSC. No student price. There are student price in Growball though... RM13 per ticket. I guess the remaining RM2 is for buying soft drinks. I think for watching 3D movies, it's best to go to GSC because they have a far better popcorn than Growball. I'd like to call Growball's popcorns healthy popcorns. Very few hints of caramel, the rest is white popcorn.
2D: RM5 in Growball, if you have a student card. If not, RM7. I think it's RM8 in GSC, RM7 if you have a student card. RM5 is very affordable for a poor student like me huhu
Point #3 = Side effects
3D: Sometimes the glasses hurt the bridge of my nose.
2D: Sometimes if I'm unlucky, the seats are not stable (Growball, hear me out~! But they're changing their seats for all the halls there). Sometime this year, a friend of mine and I went to see a movie and the chair failed her not once but twice~! It was a midnight movie so not many people were there so she just quickly switch seats.
Point #4 = Satisfaction
3D: No effect at all (Airbender~!) or very few effects (Toy Story 3, Rapunzel). Airbender was very dissapointing. I was wondering why the heck does this 3D movie have subtitles. Gah, it turns out that only the subtitle have the 3D effect. It stood out. The action doesn't harbour any effect at all. All the time I was thinking, "RM15 all to waste. I could've watched 3 2D movies in Growball~!" For Toy Story 3, maybe we were sitting waaaaaaaaaay back (does the position of your seat affect the effects?) Rapunzel... I don't know but only the lantern scene was fantastic.
2D: I guess I didn't have to think of other factors like money and the satisfaction of out-of-screen effects and just sit back, relax and enjoy the story and scenes.
That's it~! I've ran out of points : p
Sometimes, when I watch something in 3D and my friends watched it in 2D, I will say the movie is not good but they'll say that it was great. Huhuhu sometimes I think 3D hinders my judgement of movies.
Since Airbender, I am very sceptical of watching 3D movies. Don't get me wrong, I think 3D is an excellent idea. Just... some of the movies are not worth the money to watch in 3D. By far my best 3D experience was Despicable Me. Hohoho
Now, who wants to belanja me Tron?
