Before 2012 ends, I must pretend pretend make resolution also la. Making is one, keeping to it is another. I always make but never keep. =P
So my resolution, like I said previously, is to Be Healthy :- Physically, Mentally and Spiritually. So that can dipecahkan to :-
Lose some weight. Have time to take break. Walk with God and Talk to Him and Read Bible. These are really the essence of it all.
But we just stocked up some junks in the kitchen so the first resolution has failed in the beginner stage. Let's hope it'll be better after this.
As I grow older, in fact after I passed 18 years old, I don't seem to celebrate any occasions AT ALL. I don't celebrate much of CNY, nor do I celebrate much of Christmas (other than going to church, we don't do the whole gift exchange thingie). And I don't celebrate New Year. We kind of celebrate all these at home, watching tv and not going anywhere. My friends will be out partying with their friends, clubbing and all. But nope, not for me. I am not old, I'm just not suitable for all these partying.
I should throw a small party for those who dislike noise and smokey places and going home at wee hours in the morning!!! Oh yea, I said that last year too. =P And the year before. HAHA.
Anyway, have an AWESOMEEEE time. 2013 is coming and let's not repeat what we've done wrong this year alright? (For me, that's putting on all my weight and some.)
ps: I had a good 2012, not great but it was good. =)

Baking from scratch
Enjoying baking so much more now that I have Thermomix!!!
And I enjoy learning new things about baking. Like how my muffin will be dense when I overmix it. =P And I learn and I'll improve next time. The good thing is that it's edible. Just not as nice as I wish it would be but it's edible. So I improve from here!!! =) Got to prepare the wet ingredients before adding the dry ones.
And with my baking, I get great breakfast!!!! =) Happy!!!
Can't wait to finish up my whole dissertation and then spend more time reading and be in the kitchen. I have decided that nobody can help me if I don't help myself. So need to prepare an exercise regime and timetable. Do it while I'm still young!
2013 Resolution - Be Happy and Be Healthy :- Physically, Mentally and Spiritually!

Confession of an Overweight Girl 2
Today's service at Terimee was much better. They were much friendlier compared to the one I met on Monday. And guess what? I have 16 sessions, not 8. YAY! (NOT!).
So yep, more to endure. It better show some results or imma eat somebody - not because of the money paid but because of the pain endured.
I still don't know why people would pay so much for this. -.-"
On a happier note, I am going for EYELASH PERMING with one of my favourite girl (Diana) cause we bought a RM18 voucher. I'm gonna have beautiful lashes for Christmas. =) And I have yet to finish my analysis for my lecturer tomorrow. Why do I tend to digress and be distracted?

Confession of an Overweight girl
So I've been trying to lose some weight. I ate less rice, I tried to exercise (but got lazy) and in the end I took up my sister's offer to go to Terimee. She bought a package many years back and now she transferred to me before it expires. So I went for one therapy.
AND I don't understand why would people pay so much to go to the centre, when they can exercise. I know I'm lazy but if I can take 2 hours of my time and spend RM2k, I think I would rather exercise. It's not like the treatments are super fun and relaxing. It's torturing! And I'd eat less a spoon of rice each day as long as I don't have to go for the treatments anymore.
I went for ONE treatment only though, so I may change my mind though I doubt it. And don't bother going to Terimee cause the lady in charge is very cocky and they messed up appointments. They seems lost. The girl who was doing my treatment OFF the wrong switch and the hot bed gets hotter when it's supposed to cool down already. I would have burnt alive!!! And I think really, the worst is the lady at the counter who takes down appointments and stuff. I don't like her. Thank God there's only 8 more sessions to go. Then I'll not go back!!!

I can't multitask to save my life
And they say women multitask very well. Maybe I am less a woman. T_T
I'm horrible at multitasking if that means watching shows while writing my thesis. Or reading blog or facebook-ing while doing my work. But I find the former the worst of all.
When will I ever learn? The boyfriend has been warning me off my Ugly Betty (because I took it from him, promising him that it'll only play at the background). Problem is, I can't get anything into my head when there's conversation. Either I concentrate on my work or I concentrate on the show.
=s Now I'm still awake to write a few more pages before I go off to bed and start again tomorrow. Let this be a lesson. Though I'm pretty sure it'll happen again. It just happened two weeks ago. Bad bad bad lesson learner I am.

Christmas has come for me
It came last Friday after the Donut Christmas party by PKA. It has been a longgggg while since I went to any of the CF event due to personal reason and choice. I enjoyed my time in the CF and I guess it's time to leave, for all of us, the seniors.
Anyways, after the sermon, they played this song, 'Christmas isn't Christmas' and really, it ties in well with the message, with the One who deserves all the attention on this day. It's really funny to think that on your birthday, your brother or your sister or someone whose birthday is DEFINITELY NOT THAT DAY to get all the attention. Bet that hurts.
So, please, give the one who deserve all the attention His attention!!! Playing upbeat Christmas songs now and searching for old hymns for Christmas. Thank You for Your birth!!! You are super duper amazing!!!
Now, go and tune in to the song, "Christmas isn't Christmas". Makes me teary all over again. Really, what is Christmas to you? Is it the Santa Claus? Is it the Christmas tree? Is it the beautiful ornaments? Is it the presents? Is it the joyful songs? Is it the colourful decorations all over? Is it sales? Do you celebrate all these? Or do you celebrate the birth of our Saviour and Lord? Our Redeemer? Someone who actually KNEW that He is here to suffer and yet did not rebel and run away. He stayed on, suffered, died (scary to know how you are going to die isn't it?) and then resurrected for who? For fun? NO! For us!! For you and me! Tiny creature if you were to look from HIGH ABOVE. A nobody, a common man, a sinner. All cause of love for us. So if you feel that you are not loved, you are abandoned, you are alone in this world, let this Christmas season remind you what He has done for you and I.
Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really starts
So give your heart to Jesus,
you'll discover when you do
That it's Christmas, really Christmas for you
Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire
A light like a candle's glow
He's waiting now to come inside
As He did so long ago
Jesus brings gifts of truth and life
And makes them bloom and grow
So welcome Him with a song of joy
And when He comes you'll know
Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really starts
So give your heart to Jesus,
you'll discover when you do
That it's Christmas, really Christmas
Christmas really Christmas
Christmas really Christmas for you

Challenge accepted!
Yesterday, while having dinner in the room (yes, we have dinner in the room), the boyfriend spilled half a bottle of his water on his bed. And yes, we sit on his bed to have our dinner. He forgot that he did not close the cover and tilt his bottle vertically and water-falls (literally).
So I hurriedly got up and looked at him with big wide eyes.
Me: Bii, your water bottle!!!! You forgot to close your bottle hor?
Him: Hee...Ya, forgot.
Me: *Still staring*
Him: Go get a cloth la. (I wanted to get a tissue) Don't want tissue, get a cloth!!

Goals until end of 2012
Pao and I set our goals while we were at the training just now. Mainly because our 90 days challenge ends on the 31st of December so it makes an apt goal to achieve before 2012 ends.
We will......
Attend the meetings and trainings diligently so that we are qualified for the 90 days challenge.
and
We will.........
try to do at least 4 demo (praying that two will bear fruits!!!) Uni has been crazy, duties are coming in, it's really hard especially now I have to purposely wake up early and try not to sleep too late (lest I can't wake up) for morning run and I feel that day has been cut shorter for me. But I know that I have a GREATTTT God. And I can do ALL things through Him who strengthens me. So I shall persevere, knowing that He is with me and I will be okay at the end of the day.
34 days till the end of December!!!! =) We shall end this year on a beautiful note.
Blogs have been boring. I will try to update more next week. I have to sacrifice Marshall Burger's opening okay??? It's not easy, just bear that in mind, it's not easy.

Wrong timing
Like when I feel like taking a nap but I just washed my hair.
So I decided to continue doing my work and maybe sneak in a short reading time. Been reading on this book on the footbinding custom which is really an eye opener.
It's called Snow Flowers and the Secret Fan. There's a lot of description of the process and what happens until they got married. I've yet to finish the book. Trying to finish up as many books as I can before I go crazy in BBW book fair in December. The boyfriend is bringing me!!!! *hops around*
Updates on Hatyai will be done soon, maybe on Saturday or Friday evening. =)

Hatyai Day 1 - Evening
If you have missed out on the previous post, click Hatyai Day 1. That post was until we went back for nap till 5pm.
We got the van company we booked to drive us around on Day 1 evening as we had not been to the places we want to go and we did not want to risk getting lost at night in Hatyai on our first day. We paid RM10 each which total up to RM100 to the uncle to bring us to Floating Market and Tesco Lotus. It was rather worth it cause there's air-cond and we get to sit comfortably in the van and laugh at jokes the uncle made. And we did not get lost or get separated.
So Day 1 evening was Floating Market day. Before you get to the floating boats, you can already see rows and rows of shops selling awesome stuff like snacks, accessories, knick knacks and clothes.
Finally the boyfriend bought one sun glass after searching for it in Bangkok, Penang, Phuket and Hatyai.
I didn't manage to get this chicken clay thingie from the shop as boyfriend and mum didn't like the coconut ice-cream. So we decided to walk around the area and found this shop!!! ALL CLAY CUPS AT THB10. Which is RM1. Shouldn't have bought so much of the drinks till I get sick from the over-sweetness. All because we want that cup. So I got my chicken clay thingie from this shop. Happy. They sell lights and other awesome clay stuff too. I think if you have a big house, you should consider the stuff here cause they look pretty nice and it's pretty cheap.
After we nom-ed so much. Boyfriend, mum and I decided to slowly walk back to the van area and rest. Cause I was getting sick from the sweet food. Next, we head on to Tesco Lotus.
After buying what we need like lays and interesting sweets, we went to have our dinner (only mum, boyfriend and I). And we had ice-cream there. This cost about RM11. Not bad. It's nice.
After that about 9.30pm Malaysian time, our van driver came and got us back to hotel. We rested and bathed and change before heading out for supper. I skipped supper except for a few sausages and bought some stuff from 7-11.
Note: Check out prices of chocolate (especially Snickers and Ritter Sport) in 7-11 and Watson before you buy any from department store or Tesco. From what I see during my trip, chocolate are cheaper in 7-11 and Watson compared to the department store. Can cost easily up to 2x the price in department store.
Snickers are mad cheap in Thailand, like THB20 in Hatyai for the long one that cost about RM3.80 in Malaysia. Almost half the price!!!
Humungous prawns. To see, not to eat. =P Cause mad expensive.
That's the end of day 1. Some of my friends went for massage while some just go back to the room and slept the night away. More coming up on Day 2 and Day 3.
Note also: Go to Lee Garden's Boots and look at the toiletries like lotions and hair products and tooth paste. Some can be 1/2 the price of that in Malaysia.

Two weeks ago in Ping Ping's life
Many has happened for the past two weeks. In fact, so much has happened, it felt like it has been months since I last online properly. After my proposal presentation (which went well, thank you for your prayers and thank God), I came back to prepare for VBS.
Then I went off from Tuesday to Friday to help my lecturers out in their conference in Park Royal. So 3 days of non-stop eating buffet and running around Park Royal. We got to stay in this home stay which was pretty good and quite near to the hotel area. We missed our 2nd anniversary cause I was there in Park Royal the whole time. Anyways, after that, I came back, rested for half a day and then started preparing for VBS again.
The following Monday, I was in church doing the final touch up on crafts and some decoration. On Tuesday, it was a full blast decorating session and cutting frenzy cause Wednesday is THE DAY! From Wednesday to Saturday, I woke up at 7am to go to church for VBS. I have 6 kids with me this time around, 4 of which were VERY EXTREMELY QUIET and two of which were 5 years old, spoke little English AND SUPER CUTE!!! So I didn't have much problem taking care of them as I am quite fierce. =P Pao had nightmare though. She had one 5 year old who is very cheeky and hyper.
So after that, went out for furniture hunting, came back, rested a while and went for Alice's farewell ='(. Then got home, watch some television and fell asleep. Next day was church day, makan day and then went to get my Christmas present. Che got me a Samsung S3 for Christmas, a little early but I mad love it!!!! I am a happy girl. The boyfriend got one too so now we are having couple phone again.
This morning we decided to go to the stadium to jog and walk a bit. It has been a while. When we first got together it was all makan and movies. Then we became housemates and it was all show on computer and cooking. Now it's time to incorporate some exercising in our routine. =P He says it'll be a daily thing. I hope I can survive this!!! So my goal for this year is to lose 8kg before Christmas!!!
Then I went off from Tuesday to Friday to help my lecturers out in their conference in Park Royal. So 3 days of non-stop eating buffet and running around Park Royal. We got to stay in this home stay which was pretty good and quite near to the hotel area. We missed our 2nd anniversary cause I was there in Park Royal the whole time. Anyways, after that, I came back, rested for half a day and then started preparing for VBS again.
The following Monday, I was in church doing the final touch up on crafts and some decoration. On Tuesday, it was a full blast decorating session and cutting frenzy cause Wednesday is THE DAY! From Wednesday to Saturday, I woke up at 7am to go to church for VBS. I have 6 kids with me this time around, 4 of which were VERY EXTREMELY QUIET and two of which were 5 years old, spoke little English AND SUPER CUTE!!! So I didn't have much problem taking care of them as I am quite fierce. =P Pao had nightmare though. She had one 5 year old who is very cheeky and hyper.
So after that, went out for furniture hunting, came back, rested a while and went for Alice's farewell ='(. Then got home, watch some television and fell asleep. Next day was church day, makan day and then went to get my Christmas present. Che got me a Samsung S3 for Christmas, a little early but I mad love it!!!! I am a happy girl.

Hatyai Day 1
Anyways, I shall write down our itinerary because I think it's quite essential especially when you are going in on a Friday and you don't know what to expect or what to do there. Mine has always been a 2 day 1 night trip but this time around, we decided for a 3 day 2 night trip since we have a holiday. And yes, I bravely went there one week before my proposal presentation. No regrets though.
Day 1
We left Penang at about 6am, got into a horrible human traffic in both Malaysian immigration and Thailand immigration but managed to get out of it quick enough because we have awesome van drivers.
And at about 11am our time, which is about 10am their time we reached and checked into Asian Hotel. Mad love, super near the malls, has newer and nicer rooms than Lee Garden and serious, I love this hotel every since I went there few years back. Will definitely go back again cause it's very convenient and nice. Not too expensive either, about RM110/night.
Note: We booked using www.booking.com
Thank God for safe journey and super keng van driver cause we managed to arrive early and the hotel has rooms for us to check it as early as 10am!!! Was mad happy cause I was so tired after my futile attempt to sleep early the night before. Another group of people whom we saw at the borders reached about 1 hour and had to wait another hour for rooms.
So after we were done with resting and fussing over our rooms, we walked to the next road to the mall beside Lee Garden for our lunch. Sizzlers for our first meal, a girl could splurge a little right? Especially when she has her mum with her. =P Born cheapskate.
Interesting hotel card |
My favourite girls in the whole wide world |
First meal. Don't ask me why both our mummies are standing with Yi Lin! |
Pretty and colourful hair pins. Mad expensive though. |
Just cause Swee Win says it's the OLDEST BOOKSTORE OKAY? |
Mad cute!!! Boyfriend didn't tell me. =( |
Psy waiting next to our hotel for buyers. |
Then we went back room to nap and rest till 5pm! Will update that on another post! =)
A time to celebrate
Boo-yah...
Presentation is over. Only had ONE lecturer during my presentation so only got like very little feedback. However, it's okay. I am happy. She didn't say I'm AWESOME but she did say my presentation was clear so I anyhow make that as SUPER AWESOME..ok la, kidding. I did normal.
So, with that, I have been lying on the bed, reading my novels for the past hour, will get up, write SOME blog post on hatyai and schedule it ALL over and then fix my www.cookwiththermomix.com blog and then I'll watch some movie, clean my room and WALAO TALK LIKE I GOT WHOLE DAY LIKE THAT.
Really, I only have another 3 hours maybe? before I go to bed so yea, we'll see what I can do in that mere 3 hours. Judging at how I tend to be distracted and do other things, I assume not much. But not much is better than none. So I shall embrace that.
Putting this penguin picture up reminds me of how bulat I am getting so Diet Starts Tomorrow 2nd November 2012. Serious!!! ^^

Redbull
Paid RM2.60 for it to keep me awake throughout the night. In the end, Redbull sat on my table from 10.30pm to 5.30am cause I went to bed at 10.30pm. Wasted my money. But nevermind, decided to take it when I woke up at 5.30am to do work cause I'm still mad tired.
Walao, don't know how people can drink it. I mean it taste nice, but it gives me this headache like the one I got after drinking a whole cup of over-sweetened lychee at floating market in Hatyai. I think it's the sugar. Too much that it makes me feel sick. Once I'm done with this whole presentation thing, I'm gonna blog about Hatyai, every bit of it!!!
Just let me get over with this presentation okay? Lots of things to do and so little time!!!!! Thank God for awesome supervisor though. Helped A LOT! I know it's God's blessing. He knew what is best for me and prepared this path for me to get to know this lecturer better and work under her. And because He has helped me in this, I have faith that He will pull me through. Just gotta finish up my part, present and let Him take over! Now, let me continue with my work so that I can nap at 10 or 11 later.

Queen of Procrastination
I can sit in front of my computer whole day and not get anything done. It's supposed to stress me out and push me to do my work but I don't know why this time around, it's not as effective. Used to be able to churn out 5-6 pages of stuff in just one sitting (until 3am). 5-6 pages is A LOT since there's a lot of reading and digesting to do before I can write anything.
This time around, just one paragraph is taking me whole day!!! This is bad!! I need to get every information done so that I can do my slides when I'm back from Hatyai on Sunday. Monday I will have to meet my lecturer and face her fury. Ok la, she's very helpful and nice, seriously.
Totally freaked out. So today, I decided to delete all the easy access to my twitter account and facebook. Just for one day. To concentrate on my work. I give myself until lunch time to finish two parts and until dinner for another part. Then I'll take a break. Seriously!

Double winnings!!!
Lately, my blogging mojo is back so I decided to start all over again. Stopped for about 2 years due to busy schedule
and also lack of things to blog since I do nothing besides working, and
doing assignments. Anyways, so I've been very active online, looking out for contest to join and hoping to win something. Oh the joy of winning things!! I like!!
So last week I joined this contest by sixthseal.com and won a BR ice-cream cake!!! My 2nd one this year. Thank you sixthseal.com! I can't wait to celebrate our 2nd year Anniversary with this cake.
Few months ago, I joined this Thursday Plantation Twitter Giveaway by Nuffnang and they emailed me today to tell me that I won 5 bottles of Tea Tree Dry Skin Relief worth RM165!!! I can't wait to get them. Honestly, don't know what they are for yet but will get it and write a review on it hopefully. =)
So that marks my double winning. Gonna join more contest and win more stuff!!! Now, I gotta go and finish up my remaining work so that I can enjoy myself with the girls at Hatyai on Friday!!! I know!! Proposal presentation is next week, I'm not prepared and I'm going off for a holiday!!

Playlist for late night
Since I'm gonna have quite a bit of late night from today until next Thursday to get as much done as possible before next week's trip (and I'm coming back to face proposal presentation after that, damn bad ass), I've decided to spend some 10 minutes to combine a good playlist. I have always loved emo Chinese songs despite the fact that I am happily with the boyfriend.
I used to (before got together with the boyfriend) listen to emo Chinese songs while doing my assignments back in my undergrad days. So I decided to compile mine and save the playlist to get me through my late nights.
At least it's sad and it keeps me listening to the lyrics. I am not a rock song person anyway. And it's much better than old, emo English songs okay? Even if not emo, old English songs. My collection of English songs are so old, I'm afraid I'll doze off listening to it. It's of Carpenters, Love Songs, Westlifes, Backstreetboys and the likes.
I think it's safer to stick to Chinese songs for now. Still old though. Stopped downloading songs a couple of years already!! Please intro me good songs!! ^^

Wrong Emphasis
I was stopped by the librarian today for not following the dress code and wearing a knee length skirt. We are supposed to wear skirts below knee length, even for our convocation. So everyone looks like dumpling in our convocation.
The last time I got stopped by a librarian because my sleeve was too short. I was wearing a t-shirt. I don't know how much longer she wants my sleeve to be.
Why put so much emphasis on things like this when the essential part of a library cannot be fulfilled? You lack lots of books related to the subjects in your university (like language and sociolinguistics), your system is always down and your librarian (some) doesn't know how to access the system except for the EXACT same method you printed on a paper. Remembered going to the librarian for help to search for dissertation. And all they said was, "There got guidelines, just follow like that." We said it won't show any result. And they dare to say, "Is it? But we only know how to do it like this." And they are in charge of the thesis section. T_T If they are in charge of that section, don't they have any trainings to know how to guide students? Apart from that printed paper? Though we later on met someone who is really doing her job and knows what she is doing.
It seems like they put emphasis on things that are more minute and overlook the bigger picture.
And he asked me to go back, change and come back. It's 2pm for goodness sake. If it's not for the plenty of tables and air-cond, I wouldn't want to step in here to meet my friends. -.-" Not like you have books for me.
Wore something like that cause I can finally wear knee length skirts instead of maxi skirts. |

Veet If Off with Nuffnang
When I was about 12, I was curious of how it'll be like to have no hair on my legs. So I took a shaver and shaved off one part of my leg. I totally forgot about it until coarse hair started to grow on my leg. I was shocked cause the rest of the leg has finer hair but only that one spot has coarser one. Then I remembered I shaved my leg previously.
I had no choice but go to my mum to confess. She scolded me for being so silly. I continued shaving my legs and the longer I shave, the more I shave. So soon, almost all the hair on my right leg is shaved off. But I have hairy right leg and not so hairy left leg. When I heard about Veet, I immediately talked my mum into getting me one. So she did (she had no choice, her daughter got imbalance amount of hair on her legs =P).
I've never looked back ever since. Veet gives me the confident to wear short dress and shorts. My mum always teased me and say my leg is like the "Steamed Chicken" after I use Veet. It's really in Hokkien called "Pek Cham Kay" cause "steamed chicken" has smooth and silky skin.
When I forget to restock on my Veet, the hair on my legs will grow and grow and it is so scary, I dare not wear anything short. Due to my studies, I've kind of neglected the hair cause I wear long jeans to class every day. The hair on my leg can fight with my boyfriend's. Don't ask me why he still loves me. T_T
So I've been wearing these maxi dresses I bought (in 4 different colours) and also some other maxi dresses to church on Sunday as my Sunday's best. If I run out of maxi dresses (or if I'm afraid that people ask me if I don't have other clothes), I'll wear tunics and leggings to cover my legs.
It's awful cause I have many beautiful short dresses and I can't wear any of them but sticking to my maxi dresses.
So I have to do something about it. I got myself a Veet.
So the boyfriend helped me to pin it up while I was busy Veeting myself.
With Veet, I can now wear short dresses so I can alter my maxi dresses into a shorter one so that I don't have to wear 4 different colours of maxi dresses. I can now have long and short ones for sophisticated and bubbly day!
Veet brings out the confidence in me!!! With Veet, I can now wear beautiful short dresses and show off my legs!!
ps: Above are 100% TRUE STORY.
Just now the boyfriend said, "Oh, no wonder la you kept wearing maxi dresses everywhere lately. Now can wear short dresses already lo?" I think he secretly likes my smooth and silky legs but say love my hairy one just as much cause he always like that one. Everything also he will say like. I know he likes my leg after Veet because he said, "Next time when wedding time, you wax your legs la." Tsk tsk tsk, pecah rahsia.
Below are great video to show you how to Veet your legs. Sorry cannot video myself cause I don't have sexy legs and I don't Veet them as sexily as the models in the video. =P
Yes, you can imagine I do that too.. HAHAH Just not in such a sensual and sexy way. =P

I have this in salmon pink, yellow, black, turquoise and I have another floral one. So yea, I have 5 in total. |
It's awful cause I have many beautiful short dresses and I can't wear any of them but sticking to my maxi dresses.
So I have to do something about it. I got myself a Veet.
I bought for dry skin one. Want my leg to be smooth and soft. |
One side with the cream, the other side looking over with envy |
smooth and silky!! |
With Veet, I can now wear short dresses so I can alter my maxi dresses into a shorter one so that I don't have to wear 4 different colours of maxi dresses. I can now have long and short ones for sophisticated and bubbly day!
Ta-da. Maxi dress can keep for a while now. |
Another one just cause I like it. |
