Take a moment to see the world through the Asian-peepers of Mei. It's just Mei being Mei no matter what. Rain or shine, this girl ain't giving herself up for anything.

Tagged :S

I got tagged by Bernard Cheah. Ish. I don't usually do tags but since it's Christmas, I thought why not.

Rules:
Each player of this game writes about his/her Christmas wishes. People who get tagged need to visit your blog to find out more, and then write about the same topic in their blogs. Player must state the rules clearly, and pass this on by tagging the same number of people. To tag someone, leave a comment in his/her blog and tell them that they have been tagged. Number of blogger to tag: up to you.

So, the following is my personal Christmas wish list in not a particular order (random stuff la):

1)
Mum and some of the people very close to me to be super happy
2)An unusual Marcasite cross pendant I saw at a mall. Super nice. Super expensive. RM50 ><
3) A new sunglasses
4) A car
5) A driving license (I doubt anyone can fulfill that except God, me and the guys at JPJ)
6) A trip to Colmar at Bukit Tinggi :)
7) To lose more weight but more importantly, to be healthy.
8) To graduate with a first class honours. Hehe.

With that done, I'm am tagging:-

1) Deborah
2) Hui Chuan
3) Darshini
4) Ashley
5) Lydia Wan

Ok. It's 1 hour before Christmas. hehe. Yay :D

Sense of humour much needed

I haven't been blogging for...God knows how long.

I feel the past few weeks have been stressful for a lot of us, JRians. Class politics becoming more apparent. We blame it on anger built-ups over the years and crappy assignments given to us on our FINAL semester. (Hey earth to J.S. and the uni staffs, it's only a 7 weeks semester!! Gives us a break already!)

Moving along...

Today, classes were real dead. Lecturer was asking us to answer her questions and all of us look with 'O' on our mouths. Nevertheless, we tried our best to answer the questions on a step-by-step basis. Here's one of them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 1:

Rewrite the following print article to a broadcast script.

The state of the X (country) economy looks good with the GDP growth maintaining a robust rate. Nevertheless, the problems in the country’s economy is inflation, which is understated at a CPI (Consumer Price Index) of 2.50.

The country is also no
longer in an attractive position in the foreign investors’ radar and this will take a toll on the economy in the longer term.


1) Create a headline

Answer 1: X's economy still healthy.
Answer 2: X's economy still sunny.
Answer 3: X's economy still healthy but inflated. o_O



2) Rewrite the article to make it sound better on the ears.

The country is also no longer in an attractive position in the foreign investors’ radar and this will take a toll on the economy in the longer term.

Answer 1: X is becoming less attractive to foreign investors and this will affect the economy in the long term.
Answer2: X needs a bikini and a sexy pose to gain more foreign attention. ><"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup we tried our best despite us being so stoned and brain-dead for intelligent questions. Let's just say the lecturer was not impress. XD

Think this could serve as a gentle(?) reminder to take time to unwind and breathe in and out (wuuuu-saaaaaa...). This especially goes out to my classmates.

Now, to get back to my thesis or to be more accurate (we future journalists suppose to be anyway), final year project.

Take care peeps!

Pretty cool stuff!

I found this really quirky website with loads of different quizzes! Here's some...



You Should Be a Joke Writer

You're totally hilarious, and you can find the humor in any situation.
Whether you're spouting off zingers, comebacks, or jokes about life...
You usually can keep a crowd laughing, and you have plenty of material.
You have the makings of a great comedian - or comedic writer.




It's kind of different from the direction I was going for :P I was going more towards beauty and fashion. Hahaha...Well, I'm keeping my options open anyway :) Hehe...I also did another quiz on beauty. This was what I got :D

You Are a Natural Beauty!

You're the kind of beauty that every guy dreams about...
One that looks good in the morning - without a stich of makeup
That's doesn't mean you're a total hippie chic though
You have style, but for you, style is effortless



You guys can click on the links to try it out yourself! There are loads of different quizzes there so no worries about finding something of your interest :)

They even have one on "What kind of BRA are you?" o_O

And to prove I ain't kidding, here's mine :P



You Are a Sleek Black Bra!

Subtle, sophisticated, and classy.
You're not the first woman a man notices in the room...
But you're the one he remembers a week later.
You need a guy who will make a lasting impression on you too!

HAve fun quizzing! :)

Just in case . . .

Since yesterday after posting up about Brian AKA Brain and his art work, I've been getting queries ask to who this Brain is. LOL. Pretty curious bunch aren't ya! :D

Well, he's one of my bestie whom I met in college :) My mum calls him a cutie pie !!!
ROFL!He's too humble to admit it :O

Anyway, I have pics of him with me but I'm not sure how would he feel if I posted up a picture of him,himself and HIM :P But I managed to get one cool one which I think is sufficient enough for you guys to get an idea on how he looks like. Not to mention, what he does :S
( I.hate.the.fact.that.there's.no.emoticons.here).




(Anyhooosss) HEre it is!




Ok the indication is bad...I know xD LOL...But I admit that I ain't pro with Photoshop and suddenly lost all skills I had. Well if I had any anyway o_O
But the dude at the bottom left end is BRIAN! :D
Cool stuff huh? That's him in the process editing his work :)
FYI, Brain too has a blog on blogspot. So, if you want to know more about Brain, please visit http://absolutezeon.blogspot.com/ (I'm giving you free publicity Brain ;P)
And I just realised he has posted up lots of pics in his blog. So, if what I posted up there wasn't good enough (which I can guess isn't :P), then check out his blog.

Anyway, adios amigo! Have to do my assignments now! HAve two due next week... And I was so hoping I would be able to snuggle up in my bed and read the Secret River (TEE HEE) on this rainy and windy night :D
PS: I'll post up more stuff this week. Well, I hope anyway :) Hehe... Have loads to show you. But want to keep you guys in anticipation anyway :P
Ta!

A post dedicated to Brain's exceptional work of art =)

Happy Birthday to me! :D Weeee...! Well that was like a month ago? Hahaha sorry peeps! Haven't been able to update! My most sincere apology :)


Anyway, my 22nd Birthday this year was nothing grand but was exceptional thanks to one of my bestie :D Cutie pie Brain Brain! :D



Oh and also Abbas for taking me out go makan during my break on my birthday itself :D Thanks abbys!! :)


My mum cooked my fav food too on my b'day! Was yummy! Thanks mum :) Gosh, I'm so blessed :)



Oh back to the present that Brain gave me :) I could guess it was a book inside eventhough Brain denied it *wink* *wink* The best part of the present was surprisingly not the present itself but the cover! Ok, the present itself was nice and thoughtful but the cover was even better :D Hehe...OH, no 2nd guess on what was inside....

A book o_O


Haha...Brain :P You can't beat my intelligent mind :D muahahahaha! xD








Source: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/g/kate-grenville/secret-river.htm


It's entitled the Secret River by Kate Grenville. It looks quite interesting although I have to admit I haven't read it yet (sorry Brain!) due to hectic schedules and procrastination! LOL.

I will read it during the holidays ! I hope I'll get the chance to dig in!

For those of you who are curious what this lil' book contains, you can check out http://www.curledup.com/secretri.htm



Back to the cover, I have some pics here (courtesy of Brain) to show you. I think a picture is worth a thousand words rather than me babbling here, trying to explain to you...Ahhhh...The blissfulness of modern technology =)




This is the front cover





And...The back cover!



As you can see, he made a cover resembling a book cover ! How awesome is that! Not to mention, the amount of butterflies imprinted on it is enough to satisfy my fetish for them. Well, for that moment anyway :P I give you props Brain for the fab cover! ME love!! =) =)


I hope you guys can click on the pictures to get a bigger view because it didn't seemed work on my previous posts. I wonder why. LOL! Gosh. I suck at this HTML stuff :P


HELP me fix this prob Brain or Abbys!! :D LOL!


Ok, that's a wrap! So Brain, I've kept my word! I wrote a post solely dedicated to your work! :D Hehehehehe.... :)


Ta!

A class dinner that ended with a surprising twist :)

Classes have resumed and the new semester kicks off! Stress and tension seemed to be just a corner away and I could just smell it. Then the CrazyJrians (that's our class FYI) decided that we should kick start our semester with a great dinner to fill our starving stomachs before we are totally drenched by the tight deadlines for assignments, presentations, classes and of course final exams.



The group decided to go to Marche at The Curve for their buffet dinner. Then, I remembered my bro telling me he saw an article in The Star mentioning that their buffet dinner would only start in June. My bro even e-mailed the manager enquiring about it and that it's true. The gang decided to give it a shot and it proved true unfortunately.



So, we went to 1 Utama and feast at Bakerzin! Wee...~! And so the feasting journey begins. To begin with, the place looked real fancy and cozy. It looked real luxurious somehow to extend that some of us were hessitant to enter :P Probably due to the setting of the place. Bakerzin's known for their yummy-licious desserts. So, I was wondering how their main meals would fare.











(Pic courtesy of 1 Utama)

Anyway, enough of promoting Bakerzin to my fellow readers :P Let's get to the FOOD!


Our class decided to get the dinner set which is about RM28 nett. It's really worth it because apparently the desert that comes with it costs about RM16 ++ ! I know it's crazy but these people really know what their food is worth because it was super yum yum ! xD


For the dinner set, most of us ordered the lamb stew with a chocolate cake, some with cheesecake. Our stomachs were really singing songs and Lily's food arrived first. It was fried rice. We were just watching her eat her food because we were just so darn hungry!! Anyway, our lamb stew arrived the latest but it was worth the wait! It was tender and real nice. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to take a pic of it! We were too hungry that we gobbled it all down once it arrived at our table! :P But here's the fried rice Lily had :)













And the rice and curry that some had :)










We were basically camwhoring throughout the whole dinner.Even while we were eating ! :D Hey, they're for memories! :D




Chin Han and Yen2 looking oh-so-cute :D







Lily: "What u want??"





Chin Han and Lily (still doing the "What u want??! look)





Chin Han: "DO this...Cheeseeeeeeeeeee....!"

Been (looking blankly) : "Huh?"



Then we waited in anticipation for our desserts! The cheesecakes arrived first and looked like ice cream! So heavenly! :) The last bit of it is the best because there are crumbs at the bottom! That dessert just ended with a bang!






The cheesecake that looks like ice cream!





BC trying to have a bite without using his arms



Chin Han having a bite at his yum yum cheesecake.He ain't planning to share it with ya~!




Our chocolate cake still didn't arrive yet.So Grace asked the waiter about it. He said they'll arrive in 10-15 mins!!! Want to know why? Because it's freshly baked! o_O


Grace: "Where's my freshly-baked-chocolate cake??!!!"



And seriously, we expected something as huge as the cheesecake. So when the choco cake arrived, we were a tad disappointed at the portion. Nevertheless, it proved that size doesn't matter because it was yummier than the cheesecake!! This lil' fart was oozing with chocolate inside it when we were scooping it! YUM!



Size does not matter!








Lily trying to show how small it is. It is really THAT SMALL!





Ahhhh....We were one bunch of full and satisfied people I tell ya! :D Then, some of us thought great things must come to an end. We should have known better since we're the CrazyJrians!!



Suddenly, a cake pops out from the kitchen heading towards us and then a burst of "Happy Birthday" song filled the air. Some of us (yea that includes muah) were like just clapping and singing along until the cake was placed at our table! When we saw the names written on the cake, we realised that the cake was meant for me, BC ,Been and Yen2! I realised what a ditz I was for not realising it earlier from the whispers and sudden disappearances of our classmates during the dinner! :P

Happy Birthday Been, Yen2, BC and ME!!~






Anyway, I take this opportunity to say Thank You to all my fellow classmates who took the iniative to get us the cake! It was great! :D




And FYI, it was a chocolate cake! Lol...So we were really full at the end of it !! Oh how spoilt we were that day :P









To end the whole thing, we continued our camwhoring sessions! :D






Remember this pose? Hint: Dragonball




This is a super fantastic shot of Yen2 and Chiew Mei. WE GLOW!!




Chiew Mei: "Mine's puffier than urs"

Soo Yee: "Ya meh??"








Models of the year! Lily, Chun la u! :D










Nic: Muahahahaaha!!! (looking Evil)
BC: *ouch*







Ok everybody. Look cool! Ok, stoned works too :P


The incredible 3! whoosh!!

SMILE!! All happy and satisfied after a hearty meal!


Pics courtesy of : Soo Yee and Yen Yen :D



PS: Thanks BC for making the effort to come despite of your fractured arm and that you were feeling unwell. You are one cool dude! I'm inspired by you :) Chin up k! God will always be there for you eventhough things may seem not going your way. Seriously, me speaking from experience ( remember I twisted my ankle real bad in 1st year?).Use this time to pray and put your faith in Him. He will sustained you and make you stronger than ever before ! :)

A Birthday Plot ...


And...the plot thickens...

Haha...Gotcha! :P Got your attention didn't I? This post is about an account of an interesting birthday celebration!Well that's what happens when you put a whole gang of crazy people and 2 birthday boys :D You get a whole lot of very...and I mean VERY creative ideas!!


So, pls embrace yourselves for a very very longgg post...


Bernie's birthday was coming up and we wanted to make his 22nd birthday well...how should I put it...MEMORABLE seems appropriate *lols* So, we started planning on what to get for him for his Bday. And we have to give props to DewGem in this area la. She came up with a (brilliant?) plan to give him a nice-looking box with lots of junks inside. Let it be those free pesky OXY samples to a pacifier (Eunice, good one ;) ). Though I thought there would be a real gift at the end of it but the plan change. Hahaha...I kind of thought it was going to backfire because Bernie would ACTUALLY like what was inside.Read on to find out whether he did :P

Next, we had to plan a surprise for him. And...WE decided to bring him to none other than... PIZZA HUT! Ta-deng deng!! :D Of course you didn't think we would do it the conventional way did u? :) NO NO! The gang decided to do it MAFIA style (minus the violence of course). Haha...


So, it was a usual Thursday afternoon at about 12 noon. We were at the mamak near uni waiting for the VIP to come. And by VIP, i mean VERY-IMPORTANT-PRINCE as he was running late. He should have reached by then but was delayed. The group was starting to get restless and wanted to go pick him up but when I called, he was on the bus to uni already. So we waited....Waited...and waited.And he finally came!

After he chilled for a few mins, DewGem and the rest started tying him up and blind fold him.







Yes, we did it under the full daylight and the watchful eye of the public. I was quite surprise that no one sprang up from their seats to help him.Hrmmm...Anyway, despite getting weird and glaring stares by the people, we were having a great laugh trying to keep Bernie to stay still.
Then all of us got into our cars and Vrooooommm...We were off to Pizza Hut!

Eunice and I dropped Bernie and Vincent at Pizza Hut while we hunt for a place to park.Met up with DewGem and BC who later head off to the bakery. While walking there, BC (As I said we just seem to come up with brilliant ideas) came up with a very hilarious but interesting idea. To buy two very small cakes (with lots of cream of course) for Bernie and Abby (It was his bday too. Didn't forget u la Abby) and write "Read this" in small letterings so that the bday boys would lean forward to read it.Thus, making it easier for us to dunk their heads into the cake!!!Props to BC too! Unfortunately, the guy at the bakery messed it up. Instead of putting it in small fonts, he wrote "READ THIS" !! So, we decided to use some henna stuff to put some some little dots.Hehehe...







If you can't see the words, try clicking on it to get a bigger view (hope you can) :)



After putting some (very) hot flavour to it (Tabasco to be precise), we finally opened Bernie's blind fold plus we put one for Abraham too! *wink* :) They then asked "What's this?", pointing at the small brown little dots. So we asked them to take a CLOSER look. Abraham did. While, Bernie being Bernie (haih) was a little slow in following. Haha (Jgn la marah yang!). Anyway, it was the gfs honour to dunk their heads. Me being a nice and good gf chickened out (But it's bcoz I sayang him!! :P). While Felen wasted no time in dunking Abraham's face into the cake. Since Bernie was resisting, DewGem and BC decided to help!








Haha...Then, BC and Amanda thought Abraham needed help too. So...think you can guess what happened next.







The end results?






A very HOT (reminder: TABASCO) mess :P



I shall fastforward the day's account to the part where Bernie opened his box of junk! Hehehe...well, he was very happy to see the junk! HAhaha...He really did get lots of junk which included a toy gun, a doggie-that-can-bend-its-knees thingy (Dr Carmen, you rock!), a pacifier (HAha) and not forgetting our uni badge. Guess Dr. Carmen felt the need to instill some much needed patriotism in him towards our uni! Ahaha!


So yes, it did backfire because he LOVED everything in there! He had so much fun. *lol* He looked like a 6-year-old boy opening pressies on a Christmas morning. Tee hee...So cutee :P Until the gang explained why they gave him a box of junk (which is because it depicts who he is to them *ouch*), he didn't seem to get it. Oh, FYI, I didn't put in anything in. Again, me trying to be a good and nice gf :P



Moving along...The day ended with a big hooray and yummy cakes circulating the place ! YUM!





Oh, the boys really enjoyed themselves singing "Happy Birthday" to themselves. Lol~


To end this post, a close up on the cake is a must! Eat This!



*Note: A very big thank you to Eunice for the photos!
