New Year Resolution

I've stopped keeping a list of resolution because seriously, NOTHING WORKS FOR A LAZY ME. Nothing can motivate me to move an inch. Not even a naggy boyfriend. But because I am turning 24 #gasps the horror, I need to be serious for JUST ONE TIME. And I know how this blogpost will come biting me in the buttock when Daniel reads it.

So resolution for 2012.

1. to actually remember to do my devotion daily.

2. Buy less, earn more.

3. Be serious and persistent in what I am doing be it my small business or my studies.

4. Be less critical about things around me, especially about what he does which ticks me off.

5. Cook more, bake more, sew more, read more.

6. Be grateful each an every day for God's providence.

7. Try to exercise. =P Daniel will push me nevertheless.

8. Be more positive and confident in life.


I think 8 is enough lest I get poked for every single thing I do. Now, I really should get some of my stuff done. =)

Lesson Learnt

Do not provoke a busy man.


Do not watch Nasi Lemak 2.0 at night (you will end up googling for the nearest nasi lemak stall.)


Do not buy too many things and then got lazy to do any of it.


/crawls to get some craft done. #lazy

SINGING AT 12.30AM BESTEST

Singing to BSB songs because I told Daniel to play songs I know how to sing. De-stress. Assignment due date coming, still not motivated and clueless. T_T

FEW MORE DAYS!!!

Hotel Naza Y YOU NO?

If someone request to be removed from your mailing list, do you email that person and ask why?

Well, I'll tell you why. YOUR FOOD SUCKS!!!

I was complaining that night when I had your so-called 'Grilled and BBQ Buffet' with my RM24.90 Mydeal/Groupon (can't remember, they both had it) voucher. AND IT SUCKS! It sucks even more than the Haven Delight one that I went (this deserve another post altogether but the story was, the ones we ordered, did not come, the ones that came already, came a few times more. Service is darn messy.)

So I was okay about it already because I don't usually file complaints or say much. I usually whine and grumble on my own. I know, damn chicken. But then, I got pissed (yep, Ping Ping just got pissed) and I sent this email to that person like a boss.

Hi,

I didn't want to give any feedback before this but there has been several emails sent to me promoting the buffet. I bought a Groupon voucher some time back and finally went for the buffet at your hotel on the 10th of December which was last Saturday. The was not much variety of food offered but I didn't mind. I was shocked to find out that there's no bread offered with the soup. But that's beside the point. The service given was excellent and the view was breathtaking but that's about it. The ready-cooked food offered was just 5 or 6 dishes, 3 out of which was bad. The butter rice has no butter taste in it, the mutton and the beef was practically tasteless and cold. I am the least picky about food but this was enough to turn me off. The hash brown was nice though.

Then I moved to the 'grilled corner' with just 4 grilled items offered (and it was supposed to be grilled and bbq buffet or something). It was okay although I did not have much appetite to continue. I moved to the dessert corner and found only two types of malay kuih and two types of cakes with other fruits. So I took a little of each. To my disappointment, the seri muka (which is my all time favourite) was tasteless. The glutinous rice was JUST glutinous rice. No taste to it. The fruits and cakes were okay. The ice-cream was awesome!!

So at the end of the day, my verdict was, only the fruits, cakes, ice-cream and hash brown were really edible. And to think that this buffet initially cost about RM50 and I bought it for RM25, I still feel cheated. Initially I thought I shouldn't expect too much since it's a groupon voucher that I was using but no, that thought is wrong. Even though I only paid RM25 for something that cost RM49.90, I should be served food with RM49.90 cause this is a promotion. I hope this feedback will help your hotel to improve.

See, I even ended it with a good note. /damn proud. And the email on the promotion of the buffet kept coming. So I emailed that lady, requesting to be removed from the mailing list. She replied asking me why I would want to be removed. T_T Your food sucks and YOU'VE BEEN SENDING ME THE SAME EMAIL FOR 5 4 TIMES AT LEAST. I marked as SPAM and did not reply.

Force people to rant it here one.

ps: Decided to forward the email.

Start again

It's so hard to start again after I stop. Doing my assignment that is. Starting a brand new day doing assignment IS HARD...For me. I need the momentum.

FEW MORE DAYS TO FREEDOM!! Can't smell it yet. But it's coming.

Bad time

The worst time to lau sai when you have assignment due next Tuesday and you are just doing the second part. -.-

But it's okay. All cleared now (my bowels, not my assignment). Can even eat Tau Hua like a boss.

I can haz Ipad2 for Christmas

This comes a little late but I am in denial, and looking for all ways possible to not do my assignment though I know I'm digging my own grave.

Daniel Chong bought me Ipad 2 for Christmas!!! That bugger who is always so stingy thrifty I mean, forked out over RM1.7k to buy something for me. He is always so thrifty when it comes to spending on himself but splurge all for me which makes me feel very bad cause I splurge more on myself than on him.

We have been filling our baby in with lots of apps. I clothed it with a brown leather and put on 'contact lense' (protective screen la) on it.

Buying me flowers, chicken soft toy, more flowers, more things. Basically he just made himself even more unpredictable. He has successfully scrape of that predictable mask and been keeping it off for some time after we got together. I need to buck up and be unpredictable too. I have been an annoying little pest, a lazy one at that, who refuses to do her work and wallows in self pity whole day. CRAP!

Waiting Room

I'm in the 'Waiting Room' of AirAsia. Just because I don't get to sleep cause I'm doing my assignment, I decided to join in the fun.

And I am listening (yes, listening) to How I met your mother. It's a tv series and because I am doing my assignment, we are just LISTENING to it. Damn sad.

But in the afternoon, I did a very happy thing. I SHOPPED!! Online. =) Then I got scared and ran to Daniel. I know, I'm weird. He is much calmer. Of course, not his money.

Oh well. Assignments are driving me crazy. I don't even know what I'm doing. I really need to get this over with.

Continue waiting.

Baked Mashed Potato

Got this idea from my CG friend.

It is SUPER easy to make.

You'll need:-

3 Potatoes (actually depending on how much you want to eat, I made 3, you can make 10. Just agak-agak.)
RM 2/3 minced meat (put more if you have more potatoes)
1 packet of Enoki Mushroom
Chopped garlic
Cheese (Parmesan / normal sliced cheese will do)
Butter (to mix with the potatoes)
Salt and pepper to taste

1. First, boil your potatoes.
2. At the same time, fry some chopped garlic. Put in the mince meat and Enoki Mushroom.
3. Put salt and pepper to taste.
4. Mashed your potatoes and mix in some butter.
5. Put your mince meat in a plate (suitable for baking) and put the mashed potato on top of it.
6. Line the cheese on top of the potato and bake till the cheese has melt.
7. Get ready your tummy for a yummilicious snack.

It's good, trust me. And SUPER EASY!

Life of a Master student.

Working was mundane but studying is mad busy. T_T Been reading journals after journals, books after books (and watching Forensic Heroes 3) but still haven't finish doing my assignments. And I have only two weeks left to vomit something out to be handed in. Last minute work does kill!!!

Anyway, I will survive. As I am too lazy/busy to update my blog, twitter and everything else, I will make it an effort to at least post a recipe each week, whether the ones I've tried or have been meaning to try. Just to keep my blog alive. Recipes or craft ideas. Just in case I didn't cook.

Daniel and I bought these beautiful glasses from Daiso (RM5 for 3) to make dessert as we got pretty cheap oreos (RM2 per tube) over the weekend. Will be trying out some dessert soon. We have bananas, oreos, full cream milk (to whip them up), vanilla pound cake and some other biscuits. Daniel will create his own layered dessert. Will see how it goes.

Next up,
Baked mashed potato (like pie)
