Why staying at home is much better than staying in Uniten's on-campus apartment

1. Can save a lot of money. At home my mum will cook. In Uniten I'd have to buy greasy, high-cholestrol food. Or go waste my money at the restaurants in Alamanda. And the cost of apartment rental per semester is about the same with the total cost of petrol and toll for 1 semester.

2. No need to worry about lizards falling on top of my head anymore.

3. If you have a timetable like mine (no class on Tuesday, average of 3 hours of classes each day with little or no gap in between), staying at home is much better option. What are you going to do in Uniten on that Tuesday?

4. No more feeling of homesickness.

5. Not having to deal with crazy/annoying/pengotor housemates.

6. Can sleep in my comfortable bed in an air-conditioned room every night.

7. Can watch TV! If you stay in Uniten's apartment and your housemate has a TV, you're lucky. If not, then you'll have to SHARE the TV in the television room.

8. You'll eat more healthily at home. In Uniten when I'm sick of those greasy, high-cholestrol food or too busy to dine in Alamanda, I'd live on a steady diet of Maggi or Brahims.

9. If I stay home, I can go to KLCC/Pavillion or any of my favourite malls anytime I want (when I'm free la). If I stay in Uniten, I'll have to wait til weekend to go to those places. The only malls near Uniten are Alamanda and Mines. Bor-ing.

10. No fire drills. (Why I hate fire drills so much--they rang the bell in the middle of the night and turn off the light. This is such a hassle especially if you have quiz/test the following day).

I hope this post will influence juniors to stay outside like me. Ha ha. Ade ke juniors read my blog? I don't think so.

My dream home

Was browsing through the Ikea catalogue just now. And designing my dream home in my head.

My future home will have lots of plush cushions, beautiful rugs, and those cute lamps and chandeliers. And I fell in love with this gorgeous but very expensive stainless steel bowl. I always fall in love with gorgeous, artistics (but totally useless) vases and bowls.

Mmm...the Swedish meatballs at the last page of the catalogue. Damn I'm hungry now.

A great day out

Today I decided to take a break from all the studying and projects and HAVE FUN with Mr.Y.

We went to Cineleisure, there's a huge IT hypermart there and I was looking for an external DVD drive for my cute mini laptop. A lot of choices there and I was debating whether to buy Samsung or LG. Finally, I settled for Samsung coz Mr.Y said that the LG DVD drive has high PC requirement and I don't really like the design either. It's made of white plastic and it looks cheap. The Samsung DVD drive on the other hand, is black and glossy and sleek. I like! I bought it for RM199 (in Ampang Point the price is RM299!).

OK why am I talking about DVD drives with such passion? Have I turned into a computer geek? I hope not. My laptop is pink. Geeks don't use pink laptops right?

We had lunch at Waroeng Penyet. It was my first time. Mr.Y had been there before. The food was awesome. I love the fried chicken with the little crumbs on top. And the sauce was superhot! Before I know it, snot were running down my nose. Nice.

Mr.Y kept on asking whether I enjoyed the food or not, and I said I enjoyed it very much. He asked if I want a second helping. I said what?! Then he said something like makan mesti puas2, and insist that I have a second helping, so I agreed. He ordered another basket of fried chicken and additional rice for me (ekk!). My bf always spoils me with food. How can I stay thin? Hahaha.

Then we went home. I managed to install Microsoft Office using my Samsung DVD drive! Yeay! The DVD drive is SUCH an investment! I was ecstatic coz, you know, a computer without Microsoft Office is NOTHING.

OK, gotta go back to projects, projects and more projects. Til the next entry, bubye!

Random

Bought a lipstick at Body Shop a few days ago. I think Body Shop has reformulated its lip colour collection. Their lipsticks now are fragranced. I don't like perfumed lipsticks. Feels as if I've just eaten a soap.

Right now I really need an external CD/DVD drive. My netbook is starting to become slower than usual. Need to buy the Bit Defender antivirus as well. Oh, and I haven't installed the full version of Microsoft Office yet! How am I going to do my work? What's the purpose of having a cute, pink netbook if I can't bring it along with me everywhere I go and do my work???

Life is hectic right now.

Numerical Methods test.
Foundation Engineering test.
Reinforced Concrete Design test.
Highway & Transport laboratory test.
Project: Design the footing and all the columns for a bungalow house.
Project: Shallow foundation in clay.
Final year project presentation.

I think micro blogging suits my busy lifestyle more. So follow me on Twitter instead.

With friends like this, who needs enemies?

I hate it when old friends dissappear for ages and then suddenly they contact you out of the blue and expect you to be available for them.



Especially if I have been trying to keep in touch with them, texting them, but they were stuck up and snobbish and replied my messages half-heartedly. Busy sangat la tu.



And when they finally contacted me, they blamed ME for being stuck up. Err...hello? All these while I've been trying to reach you.



We used to be best friends, we share everything. I've been asking you how you've been and everything. But you won't share. You refused to include me in your life. But when something big comes up, or when you have a problem, you find me. And you expect me to be there for you. I have my own life too. And is it a coincidence that when you need the most, I am busy as hell?



I have this friend, we were so close during my foundation year. Suddenly during my first year degree, she LEFT. My life in Uniten turned upside down. I'm lucky to have my boyfriend with me. And then after that I realized that my life wasn't so bad after all. I've made lots of new AMAZING friends and I've improved A LOT in my studies.



This friend of mine, she always text me out of the blue, when I least expect it. And this morning I received a text from her.



I didn't reply.

The best makeup remover ever!

I've always been in search for the perfect makeup remover.

I've tried Origins Liquid Crystal. It's in a cleanser form (I don't like that, I'd like the makeup remover to be tissue-off), it's oily and expensive.

I've tried Simple Facial Cleansing wipes. It's really goooood. But wipes are not economical for everyday use (1 packet cost about RM20) so I only use it when travelling (so convenient!). I heart Simple Facial Cleansing wipes. It removes makeup in a jiffy!

L'Oreal makeup removers are OK. Some of their makeup removers are in creamy form and some are in gel form.

Neutrogena Deep Clean makeup remover is OK too, but it's creamy and I don't like creamy makeup removers (haha cerewet kan). Plus, the pump dispenses too much amount at one press and I don't like that either.

And then I discovered the Mandom Cleansing Express Sebum cleansing lotion. The name is kinda funny coz it's a Japanese product. And like any other Japanese product, it's really good!

WHY THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MAKEUP REMOVER:

1. It does not only removes makeup effectively, it also clear your pores. It contains green tea extract which has pore-tightening benefit. Your pores will feel clean and fresh and I really like that refreshing feeling after I used it.

2. It's 100% oil free, water based and contains moisture-retaining ingredients. My skin feels clean yet moist with no unpleasant tightness.

3. It's dual-purpose. Serves as a makeup remover and toner.

4. It's very versatile (tissue-off). You don't need to rinse off your makeup, just wipe it off. Very convenient when it's late at night and I'm tired and lazy to do anything.

5. It's hypo-allergenic, friendly to sensitive skin, alcohol free, preservative free, fragrance free, colouring free, noncomedogenic, paraben-free.

6. And the bottle is nice once you remove all the stickers.

=D

Buka puasa at Seri Pacific, KL

We all got problems. But life goes on right? That's why I decided to follow my parents today to break fast at Seri Pacific Hotel in KL instead of sitting at home, drowning in a sea of tears and eating Maggi for buka puasa. Ha ha.

Initially I thought we were going to the Pan Pacific Hotel in KLIA. Turns out that it's actually the Seri Pacific Hotel which is located in near PWTC and The Mall. Apparently, Malaysia Airlines owns 11% of the Seri Pacific share so my dad got an invitation to eat there for free. Yeay.

International buffet was serve. There was a great variety of food. The Ramadhan buffet was held at the Japanese restaurant, coz the grand ballroom was booked for some other event. So most of the food served during the buffet was Japanese food.

Oh.My.God. The makciks and pakciks there were like piranhas. Or ular sawa. I don't know. When I arrived at the hotel, it was still very early, but people were already queuing up, getting as much food as they can. I think my family's table is the table with the least amount of food. Other people's tables...God...it seems like they haven't ate for 10 years! Tamak btul time puasa nih.

I had a small portion of fried rice, broccoli, stir-fried vegetables and grilled fish. Yummy. One thing you have to know about me is that it is not worth it to bring me to a buffet coz I only ate a little.

I had sushi (doesn't taste as good as Sushi King and Sakae Sushi) and vegetable and prawn tempura.So these are the only thing I ate. And then followed by fruits. Lots of lots of fruit. Oh, and I nibbled a bit of the chocolate brownie and chocolate fondue that my mum took.Serious rugikan bawa I pegi buffet???Luckily the buffet was free.
