Good morning everyone!! Yeah..i know it is early…Yesterday i slept at 3.16 a.m. , now i woke up at 7.44 a.m.. I just have too many things on my mind, i am worrying about my assignments, mock presentation and colloquium. It seems like i got so many chores to do. But i just cannot start my chores yet. I got no inspiration to kick start…

Anyway, let me just blog and hopefully i got spirit to start later.

Yesterday night, my boyfriend brought me to a Hong Kong restaurant, ‘Plus One Shabu Shabu’. Initially, he wanted to bring me to ‘Delicious’ at Jalan Tun Razak, but i told him 10.30 p.m. is their last call for main course. It was already 10.46 p.m. , if we go there, we only get to enjoy the dessert, which i don’t think i will full. Therefore, he brought me to the Shabu Shabu restaurant.

The outlook of this restaurant is nice. It just located at Jalan Imbi, beside ‘Imbi Palace Restaurant’. It looks like it’s price will give you a heart attack if you go in. Ha-ha!

When we seated, the waitress asked how to address my boyfriend. My boyfriend looked at her in a puzzled face, so i told the waitress my boyfriend’s surname. Then the waitress said it just for database purpose.

We started to look at the menu while…..

~yeah…taking photos….

After we made our order, a waiter told us to get our sauces at the sauces table. There are so many sauces to choose. I wanted to take the photos of the sauce table, but there were many patrons there; so i did not take that.

I only took the photo of sauces i chosen.

The tea pot is adorable!

Here comes our ingredients:

~This Japanese abalones only costs RM18!

~We controlled the temperature through this.

After the dinner+supper, we took some photos.

I would say that the ingredients are very fresh, the soup is strong and well-cooked. The prices are considered above average. The good thing is that you can choose to order half or one portion of the ingredient. In this way, you would not waste the ingredients; on the same time, we are able to try more different ingredients. One stone kills two birds!  

If you are interested, you may log in to their website: www.shabushabu.com.my to check it out!  

Finally i went and collected my Hello Kitty Crocs today!!!

You must be wondering why i said i ‘collected’ instead of saying i bought. This is because i really do not buy that Crocs. I got it FREE!!!! I was participating in a competition in a magazine, ‘Seventeen’, which is a teen magazine. There was a competition which i need to complete a sentence in 15 words, that’s it. Easy. The winner will be given a pair of Hello Kitty Crocs worth RM139.90!! Then i post out the competition form and awaiting but not holding too much expectations as i believe many people will join this.

One day, i received a letter.

~I was screaming loudly when i read this!! I just cannot hide my happiness!

Since the due date of collecting my gift is coming, so i better go by today as i really do not have any spare time anymore… My studies are too pack and i cannot even get breath sometimes.

~This was what i got from the BluInc Media Co. .  I need to take this voucher and redeem my Hello Kitty Crocs at any Crocs outlets that are listed behind the voucher itself.

After i fetched Hilary and Evie, we went to Bangsar Village.

~Deng deng!! Love it! Luckily that time i only bought the Jibbitz of Hello kitty instead of the Crocs, now i can put my Jibbitz on this Crocs already! (Sounds like i already predicted i will win!)  :D  Ha-ha! Anyway, thank you Seventeen! :)

Last Thursday night was the Hallowen party that organized by our Psychology Student Council. It was entitled as ‘A Magical Hallowen’. Each entry ticket was RM13.

I had rented a set of costume from AbsolutPitch, which they collaborated with our BPsych Student Councils to offered us a best price for costume rental.

This was what i wore:

 Yeah…I got this sexy back Greek costume. I guess i was the special good character in this party! Others were all evils!

Here are some photos of us:

p/s:Actually there are more photos, but the memory is too big, so i am unable to upload… such a pity!

Oh ya, i forgot to tell you guys there are Harry Potter movie settings for around 1 kilometer along the hallway! It was fantastic! They were able to made the setting like the real one! I really impressed!

However, i think they were too focus on the Harry Potter part, and they did not have people to take care of the front and caused many guests thought that the event ended. On the second day of event, the vice president of Student Council asked me why i went back so early, they were intended to awarded me with the Best Dressed. Then i explained to him about the situation. He admitted it was his mis-management though. He said he appreciated my attendance and my feedback. He will improve it for the coming event. I am glad to give feedback!  

Anyhow, it was my first Hallowen party. I was happy and enjoyed through the efforts of Student Councils in decorating the Harry Potter settings. I was delighted with the compliments from many people that liked my costumes. I awaiting their next year’s Hallowen! Hope they can organize it well! Ganbatte!

Happy birthday, Kitty White! Hope you enjoy on your birthday!

This is my greeting card for Hello Kitty!

I promise and swear i am going to love YOU with all my heart forever and ever!!! Stay lively and energetic! Muaks!

Today should be the last day of Sanrio Fiesta! 2009 event in Parkson Pavilion. My boyfriend had promised to bring me there. Now flashed back, i was there on the first day of launching and also the last day of the event. Start it and end it nicely.

I woke up in the noon and quickly showered as i need to bring my grandpa for breakfast initially, but now brunch. Oops, sorry! I was feeling excited though over later Sanrio trip!

~Had myself wore in my lovely high-waisted floral skirt…

My boyfriend came picked me and my grandpa to Quan Coffee House had our brunch. After that, i brought my grandpa to an Indian barber shop to cut his hair. He complaint about headache when his hair getting longer. On the same time, i sent the biscuits to my uncle’s house, which my elder sister bought from Taiwan.

I returned to the barber shop and picked up my grandpa. Then i picked up my boyfriend as well. (He returned to shower.)

After sent my grandpa home, we headed to Pavilion.

This time, i had got myself these:

~A 35th anniversary stickers, a 2010 organizer and a set of 2 panties.

Besides that, i also got myself 4 Lucky Dip Coupon. This coupon worth RM30 each. After you purchased this coupon, you can do your lucky draw. One coupon entitle one time of lucky draw.

 Here are what i got from the Lucky Dip!

~All are Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary items! I got a food tupperware, a set of 5 photos album, a mirror and an accessories box!

~The photos album. There are 5 colors, each represent different meanings. I think all Hello Kitty lovers will definitely aware of this!

~The mirror! I love this! The size is just nice to put in my bag and carry around with me!

 ~The accessories box! It was so adorable! Even my boyfriend said this is very nice!

~The inner view of the accessories box…

By the way, I was being told that this event has been extended until 30th October. So there are still 5 days to go! Guys, whoever thought they have miss that, feel free to go and try your lucks before 30th!

It supposed to be a wonderful relaxing Saturday, but we had to go all the way to Shah Alam to attend the voluntary placement.

There were 4 of us: me, Evie, Hilary and Alice. I was the one who drove. We met at lrt station at 8. 35 a.m. , which supposed to be 8.15 a.m. , due to Hilary’s lateness. I fetched them from lrt and we went on our journey.

It was quite a smooth journey, as we managed to find that place without major problem. But, the problem was that, none of us except Alice, taken the breakfast. We were so hungry. We tried to searched around any food stall, but the industry area doesn’t seems to be friendly to us.

When waiting upon the traffic light, we saw the signboard of Holiday Inn. Then Evie mentioned that her friend is working in this Holiday Inn, on pastries. We were so excited and decided to go there and check it out our breakfast!

It was a nice place. Seriously, i suggested we go there for a night after final exam. Evie likes my idea too.   

We’ve been told that there are a cafe-terrace where serve ala carte near golf course. So we drove and moved toward the golf course from the inn.

The food and drink were okay, not too bad. The price is considered standard in golf course cafe-terrace too.

After breakfast, we soon went to the programme foundation. We went in a theatre to joined in the short overview about what is all about. Then we had to entered a conference room where we brief about the task that we need to do. It is an exhausting task! The task required a lot of time and money to complete it. I know it is VOLUNTARY, however, we are students. It is impossible for us to paying so much money and this is just one of our assignment! Phone calls and transportation are all on us! I guess i have to see my lecturer and talk about this issue…

After a few hours of briefing, we were given this:

~look nice the package, but with all the ants ran here and there…:(

~The rice was so cold! It seems like they bought and put for a long time already.

I know it sounds bad that i complaint about this. But i really hope they can consider our situation and the role as a student. They are full time worker who should dedicate all their times and money, by the way, they should get their monthly phone call and transportation allowance. But what about us? At first when we asked them, they said it’s just some basic date entry or collection. But now, it turns out to be a multiple task.

I am so tired now. I just wanna have a shower and sleep. Stop thinking that for a moment. Yeah, only a moment i have.

My elder sister just came back from her Taiwan trip. She had got me some of these as souvenirs.

~The packaging

~Hello Kitty sweets!

~A white color wallet

~Hello Kitty butter container!!! Love this!

Today i had went to ChiLLax, which located at Wisma E & C. It is a newly opened restaurant that near our college. Since we’ve been hearing some coursemates talking about there, so we decided to go there check it out.

The first impression was good. The environment, furniture, lighting are all in good and comfortable way.

After getting seat, me and Hilary sat for a while and realized that it is a self-service restaurant. We proceed to the counter and looking at the menu. I had ordered a Roast Chicken with Mashed potato and a cup of hot latte, which both costs me RM18.80. It’s quite expensive though.

While waiting for our food to deliver to our table, we took some photos first.

After a couple of shoots, my hot latte was delivered. I was shocked by it’s size, as it was too small!

~Eventually, this tiny cup of latte, which tasted more like 3 in 1 Nescafe to me, cost me RM5.90! Which is very not worthy!

~This is Yen’s fish and chips. It looks much better. But i do not try it, so i not sure about the taste.

~This is mine. I know it looks really okay, but i tell you what, the whole dishes was cold! Only the french fries still in warm. (he said the mashed potato finished already, so substituted it with french fries.) Not only the chicken was cold, and it looks and tasted like not fresh as it’s been heated for many times, or was yesterday leftover. The sauce was cold too.

~the waiter threw this culinary on the table. Really look like i owe him money.

Actually, i was quite disappointed with the food quality and the price at ChiLLAx. The food doesn’t match our expectations and don’t worth our money. It can be a nice place to have group meeting, but definitely not a good place when you are in a deep hungry state or deprive for delicious food.

p/s: I had wore my new Hello Kitty tee today! I supposed this brighten up my day even i had a bad experience in ChiLLax!

Today i had my counseling role play assignment. It was a group thing, which 3 persons in a group. Each of us need to rotate the position of client, counselor, and observer. Obviously, client and counselor will be interacting, while observer needs to observe and jot down counselor’s use of skills.

This will be carry out in the therapy room of Center of Psychology, which our lecturer had reserved for our assignment purpose. We will be videotape and audio record through the Circuit Closed Television to let us review when doing the report.

When it was my turn to be the counselor, i started off quite smoothly. In the middle of the conversation, i tend to became nervous as the client did not really talk much. I need to brainstorming immediately on the spot to respond to my client. It was quite hard. But i also got to see my strengths, which i well-used stem sentences, check-out, paraphrasing and summarizing. However, my weaknesses would be unable to set future expectations for the clients and cannot really respond appropriately to some situations that client eventually need me to talk.

It was a great experience. At least we knew and understand it is tough thing to do to listen to others’ problems and help them in it.

~After the session, me and Hilary took a picture as memory. But Yen at outside, so unable to take a group photo of 3 of us.

Tonight i went to a Buddhist religion festival, which is just located nearby my house. It will continuously held for 9 days. Upon this festival, there will be many vegetarian food stalls, pearl milk tea and beverage stalls, clothes and accessories stalls, free captive birds, fortune teller, and many commercialize stalls. 

I had a vegetarian curry pan mee and a peach pearl milk tea; my boyfriend had a kuey tiew mee soup and a cup of chrysanthemum.

What caught my eyes in this festival, almost every year, is the clay figurine. They come in varied shape and design. But the price is not cheap too.

I got one for myself just now.

~Is the Zhubajie from Journey to the West!

~My bibi trying to imitate Zhubajie??!!? I also don’t know. Ha-ha!

 ~Is me! Holding my Zhubajie!

This Zhubajie costs RM13!!! Never mind lah, once a while ma…. (lah & ma are the common Malaysian’s English!!)

I tried to get Hello Kitty clay figurine, but no single stalls know how to do Hello Kitty. It means our Hello Kitty really need license from Sanrio to process! Ha-ha!

This morning i woke up once the alarm triggering, as i slept quite early yesterday night. I had my morning shower, cold; and dressed in my Psychology tee. My experiment trial run was on today, so our group members would like to look neat and unity.

Since i just recovered from food poisoning, i only took 4 chocolate cookies as my breakfast. I don’t even dare to drink Milo, to avoid diarrhea again.

When i drove from level 2 to level 1 in the car-park, i accidentally treaded on the divider. Oops! I heard a loud sound of burst! I wondered this time my car’s skirting will be all ruin! I quickly stopped at an empty bay once i reached level 1, and i went to checked it out. It was lucky that eventually, nothing happen! Thank God!

I jumped on my car again and drove out of my condominium. Then i started to realized that my car seems to be a bit imbalance and the sound of machine broken and tearing apart. I was afraid and found a petrol station and stopped my car. I went down from car to checked again. This time, i was presented with a scene of tyre punctured! OMG! I immediately called my boyfriend and seek for help.

My boyfriend reached the petrol station in about 10 minutes. He took a look of the tyre and told me the tyre punctured before Chinese New Year too. So that tyre is kind of not in good condition already. Somehow, i felt relieved over his words. At least i no need to be guilty too much. 

He helped me to changed the punctured tyre with the spare tyre.

~He worked so hard to changed the tyre! I felt great to have him with me!

~See how terrible is the hole! Oh gosh! I know it may sound silly, but i did felt lucky. This is because the moment i realized tyre punctured was very near my house, so i still be able to got the faster assistance. It was the lucky one, isn’t it?

I reached my college half an hour late for my class. But, i felt great though. After the class, i had my lunch with Hilary. After that, we went to level 9 to prepared for our experiment trial run. It was quite nerve-cracking as the lecturer is kind of perfectionist; sometimes i felt we are not even in her average standard.

Once i stepped in her room, i observed around the room. I noticed her table was clean, i mean, too clean, do not even have a desktop on it. I mean the table just CLEAR, not even a pen holder. The papers in the bookcase were neat and tidy, angle to angle, not even single paper is run out of the range. The 4 walls do not have any poster, calendar, or a clock. I felt so ’alone’ in that room.

We were being assessed individually by having 6 questions each. I managed to score 4 1/2 marks out of 6. It was considered okay, but not satisfied, to me. However, she was not so scary as what others had mentioned. She was so good that she kept hints us on the answer.

Now, finally i can go on with the experiments after so many obstacles! Thank God!
