my unlucky Christmas

I spent my Christmas on the bed this year. WHYYYYYYY *sigh*.. I have measles (i think) cos there're rashes all over my body, except for my face which is a relief cos I can still go out after wrapping myself up with long jeans and a shirt. but why! fever and cough and flu on Christmas day. sigh. I have no courage to consult a doctor at all because I'm scared he might give me odd medicines or jabs. 

such a kid I know :(

i'm so scared lah. I'm not even sure if it's measles or possibly other skin diseases. my skin now has red small dots all over like pinkish freckles and if I scratch they'll turn into red bumps! what made me think of it as measles was the rashes came after severe fever and sore throat. Darn it why! and my breath stinks now so I ain't opening my mouth till next year (which is only 6 days away lol).

anybody can help me with this? I'm too timid for a doctor, unless if the doctor comes to my place and forces me to have a shot ON MY BUTTOCKS! :( advice me please!

oh wellzz, Merry Christmas guys! I hope you guys are enjoying your ass out now cos you might not know what'll happen the next minute. Just pray you don't get odd skin issues like me. HOHOHO~

show our kindness this Christmas

Christmas is celebrated by hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. Friends and family come together to feast and enjoy this cheerful and joyous night. Gifts are exchanged and laughter is heard among the horde of jolly people. However, have you ever thought of the least fortunate ones who spend every Christmas weeping because of the life they have? For this festive month, I've decided to do things differently, that is by doing charity. and to bring back the smile on the children's faces

One charitable event I encountered was "Fairie Dreams" at Sunway Pyramid. They helped by collecting donations to grant wishes of some terminally-ill kids, together with Children's Wish Society of Malaysia. 

Donation of at least RM10 is enough, and you'll get a feather where you will put on a giant fairy wing. I really love this idea as you can actually feel you're involved in the act and at the same time you also know many others have done their part to help these unfortunate children. I know some of you might think RM10  is a lot (cos my friend stopped me from donating) but when you think of it properly, RM10 can only be used to help not even 1% of the entire community plus, your life is already much better than them so RM10 isn't a big deal lah. Just donate okay! :(

look at that gigantic wings. i'm a rainbow angel ! *dont think otherwise

Another public-spirited event was ACE-MAS. This is an event in my university whereby the entire university is encouraged to sponsor a gift. Price doesn't matter, as long as you have the heart. Children's wish lists from orphanages around Semenyih, Kajang and Cheras were publicized at my university to encourage the uni community to pledge and sponsor these gifts. I'm one of the sponsors!

Shopping for a gift isn't easy, especially when you're browsing through kids clothing. They're all so adorable and you just feel like getting all of them omg. Finally, I decided on getting a dress from HnM which is not that expensive but I think would look good on her. I haven't seen her in the dress though. *sigh*

checkered dress for her. cute no? i think it'll suit her short hairstyle

It feels good when you know you make people happy, but too bad she was too afraid of me and she knocked her head on the table while avoiding me. OMG I felt so bad but she's too adorable for me to not look at her. (maybe i look hamsup) :O and so I left her alone for the rest of the day sigh...

behold............................... my hamsup face . hehehehehe*

I'm really compassionate to involve myself in humanitarian movements, especially during this month of giving. Other than those 2 events, there were also many donation booths set at shopping malls. I wouldn't omit these stalls because I need to help those people in need. Donate a new toy or give a donation to help make Christmas a little brighter for a needy child in your community. Make this holiday season special by helping a child’s dream come true. 

Though last time I always put myself ahead of others, but as I grow up I realised that it's also part of my duty to help other luckless people. If you think like me then don't wait anymore. Do your part now to assist these forlorn children!

reasons why I started with my blog

Hello all of you living in this imperfect world. gosh. exam is coming soon and I've not even started on my revisions. One thing I've became aware of is the fact that growing up is making me slack and neglect more of the important things in my life. It's like I've lost interest to fight for the things that I desire. I'm pretty sure one day I might just go out unkempt like all other typical uncles in their 50's. 

Back to the topic, some of you may wonder why do I begin blogging all of a sudden. Some comments I received from others were kinda weird like, why can't I start blogging at 21? Am i too old for blog? lol. I really wanna put a motherfcukin face right now but I i need to make my blog PG13. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to involve myself in this kinda idle chatter cos by the end of the day I know it'll be hard to control myself from being affected by those repulsive comments and I might just lose my determination.

I'm very skeptical about this at first, and still am because numerous bloggers out there came out with brilliant blogs but left them to rot just because they did not achieve their goal. Maybe the contents they had were too lengthy? or they wasted too much time creating a post that's similar to multiple blogs out there. Sad case cos I might just end up that way too.

I do wish to achieve that millions or readers level where people would just come and visit my page even though I don't update anything for ages, but that's just something to be put aside for now. There're plenty of other reasons too:

First of all I can share my thoughts with u guys. I'm a very introverted person and I always prefer to express my feelings through texts instead of settling a complication face to face. And believe it or not I used to confess to girls through SMS which I absolutely wouldn't do now. A damn embarrassing incident to think about but, people do improve right?

I can meet new people too. I love making new friends although it's kinda difficult for me to mingle around with people. But meeting new people means gaining new experiences which is good for me as a person who's still growing up. I really wish to have that kind of courage and character that would make people notice and respect me but, that'll only happen in 9637291847 years but maybe, just maybe I can have that one day?

I'm always sucky in writing. Believe it or not I used to suck in my English essay writing back in high school. 60% average most of the time. or maybe the exam was too hard for anyone to answer? nahh. Blogging can make me improve with my writing skills. Most of the time I think a lot too for the contents of a blog. Does that mean blogging can improve my thinking skills too? I'll be the most intelligent old man next time. :D

All the other minor reasons such as making money and being invited to events hehehe are not that crucial though, although they're also the slightest reason why I started on my blog. I believe everyone should have a blog cos it's like keeping a diary, only in a more convenient way since you can search for the posts you want easily. Anyway, it's free right? :)

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying - Michael Jordan

OOTD for Christmas?

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

hmm... what do I want for Christmas this year?

hello frienzies! eight more days to Christmas! so what's in your wishlist this year? mine is rather simple. I don't need all fancy pancy impressive presents because I'm not materialistic at all if you believe. All I want this time is to take at least TEN OOTD shots on Christmas day. yes it's so weird I know and I just have this sudden pop in my head to do ootd shots, and now I'm terribly lusting for this.

so, who on earth would want to spend their Christmas watching me change into different attires and misuse their time doing a photo shoot for me? please tell me. lol. totally abusing them and their time.

what if I ask for a rat? as a pet of course and not to feed my rabbit but to keep him company. I'm feeling all festive already. wth is wrong with me? I've never been so enthusiastic and thrilled about Christmas. maybe it's gonna be a really really delightful one with a little bit of romance? who knows hahaha.

actually I would rather not contemplate about stuff that I desire cos I just might be disappointed. fingers crossed. hopefully this time it's gonna be a memorable one, and of course that does include fake-candid OOTD shots! looking forward to create wonderful memories. :)

another arousal on a Saturday night

Have you guys ever encountered such hectic times to make decisions on where to go?? for me the hardest questions would be "go where yumcha?" or "where to go after this?" or "makan what ah?". damn those questions are not meant to be answered at all. even harder than exam questions LOL (if only exam questions are like that). 

So me and my friend were just chillin at Bangsar wanting to get our 'homework' done, but you know lah it's so difficult to not go somewhere else on a Saturday night! yeah after hesitating and dragging while walking from one street to another street and exposing ourselves to the possibility that we might be robbed, we finally decided to head to Tate at The Intermark. YAY never been this place before. was totally excited!

It's rather easy to miss this bar cos you might just think there's nothing here except Providence and meaningless walls. BUT the entrance door is actually on the wall itself so if you see a wooden bar on one of these walls, push it and you'll enter a totally different zone. kinda shocking at first cos I was kinda lost and my friend just pushed on the wall and i went like "whoa~ this place is so private and cool" but, it turned out quite crowded inside and wasn't as private as it seemed. We sat just beside the entrance which totally spoiled the whole atmosphere. BUT BUT BUT yeah, nvm cos the bar was totally packed. nope, NOT with hairy rich uncles but..........with a great deal of pretty girls or at least sufficient enough to make you slobber. no joke. damn pretty that you'll just drool even if you're a girl. gosh I seriously think i need plastic surgery now. *self esteem issue!

since I can't possibly humiliate myself by ordering orange juice in the bar, I went for cocktails instead. actually all of us did but I only had one for myself. Lemon Meringue Martini was my pick. never heard of it before so I was eager to try out this cocktail. I personally think it's more suitable for ladies but if you have even the slightest aversion towards alcohol like me, you should totally try this. very minimal pungent taste of whichever type of alcohol which I obviously don't know cos I'm not an expert in alcohol tasting. just a wild guess, maybe gin or vodka cos it still does contain a little bit of the choking and bitter taste which made me have this gag reflex afterwards. yes that's how noob I am. don't laugh, I'm still learning. :(

btw I googled all the Tate photos cos I did not capture any photos of the place that night :( damn fail I know but I was too carried off by the foreign environment.. but the surroundings really is as pretty and enjoyable as the photos look

the bartender firing the frosting on top of ma Martini. luckily it did not went on fire cos I remember setting the frosting on fire when I made lemon meringue long time ago.

our awesomely pricey drinks. worth the penny

Apparently I went with the non-camwhore gang so no photos besides the drinks were taken. lol. but we did take some photos after that, that is outside the bar. yeaps. that's how I came up with My Facebook cover photo. totally a nice place to shoot all our ootd shots! awesome awesome awesomeeeeeeee. One of my friends who went with us happened to be a photographer which made things even more awesome cos I know we'll definitely produce nice nice photos. too bad he didn't bring his dslr along so the qualities of the photos were kinda sucky :(

fake pose with real people

Tate isn't a bad place after all but mind you, it'll be real packed on weekends and it's real difficult to get seats. I'd want to try Providence next time! soon I hope. :D

gosh, Christmas is just around the corner. I'm totally excited and hopefully this time it's gonna be a rather different and special one... any suggestions for what I can do for Christmas? :D

Christmas dinner at DV Ristorante Pizzeria? :D

So the other day me and Janice were on a food tasting mission organized by VibeHero. I was totally lost at first because everyone else were strangers to me. lol. but overall it turned out quite fun and entertaining.

Just a brief info about the restaurant, DV Ristorante Pizzeria is an Italian restaurant that serves only authentic Italian cuisines. Atmosphere was pretty decent and cozy. I love the fact that DV is spacious enough so you can fully enjoy our food without feelin like someone else from the other table is looking at you or your food, and it's secluded from the busy city area which means you can relax while dining here. It's prettily furnished too with some deco items which I believe were brought back from Italy as they looked so unique and vintagey. Since it's almost Christmas, the restaurant was decorated with beautiful Christmasy ornaments and also a Christmas tree which totally cheered up the whole ambience.

Okay just before I bomb out a whole list of food photos, here's a little detail about DV:

Address: 77 Jalan Setiabakti, Bukit Damansara, KL.

Opening times: Open daily, 12noon-12midnight

Tel: 03 2098 2001

Website:http://www.facebook.com/DvRistorantePizzeria

Okay drooling time. CURSES why do I always get hungry during midnight!

the most typical starter

Tomato, mushroom, and beef tartare bruschettas as first starter.

mushroom with cheese pizza

fresh herb egg pizza

i'm all cheese pizza

Ham and cheese pizza 

The names of the pizzas were not told and I totally came up with the names in the captions for the pizza photos; informative enough to allow the waiter to take your order. lol. I was in love with the pizza with ham! The ham tasted like real meat WHICH IS GOOD because most Italian restaurants don't take this into account or at least, the ones I've been to before. So I guess this is a must try at DV!

Eggplant Parmigiana

Lamb meatballs in Sudo al Pomodoro. Totally my type of dish! so tender and juicy with non-artificial gravy. yums

and yeah, that's the end of all food... NOT! those r only the starters. like seriously?? So I came up with a new stereotype that Italians are such massive eaters and I guess that's why Italian food always taste nice. hahaha

moving on to the main entrees....... *burp

Spaghetti allo Scoglio

Fettuccine Aglio Olio e Peperoncino

Linguine al Pesto

To be honest, all the pastas were just ordinary, like all other common pastas. or maybe I haven't tasted real authentic pastas before that's why I felt like they didnt have enough aroma? :O

 Braised Beef Cheek. TOTALLY MY FAV. so soft and tender and the overall taste will not overwhelm you, but will only make you smilesssssssssssssss :))))))

Peppercorn Crusted Fillet of Tuna. ALSO MY FAVOURITE. the picture speaks for itself. so delicate and luscious. totally no tuna fishy smell and only leaves flavorful aftertaste which makes you crave for more!

last dish before dessert! Chicken Scaloppine with Porcini Mushrooms. at first bite I thought I was eating fish cos that's how soft and smooth it tasted.

Finally, the sweet course that I've been waiting for. No names given though so I'm gonna name it the Awesome Tiramisu with Awesome Vanilla Ice Cream with Awesome Coffee Dressing in the Ice Cream. yay! I was totally fooled by the presentation as it didn't look that appealing. The Tiramisu literally melted in your mouth and soon after I felt like I was in heaven. Ignored everyone and gulped down everything in less than 3 minutes.

Okay. The moment of truth. I would give this place an 8.5 outta 10. YES! high enough as the meals were kinda chilled but not that cold when served. and I guess they could have put more effort into the display of the dish? However the owner of the shop was really enthusiastic and passionate about his restaurant. He was describing every meal in detail and he did put in effort to mingle with everyone. An additional brownie point for DV apart from their awesome Tiramisu cake *forever craving for it*

Done with food, and it's photo time! shucks I looked ugly in all photos. sighhhhhhhhh

happy cos got dessert! my smile was so real cos i was satisfied YUMSSSSS

Christmas treeeeee!

GROUP SHOT! yeah, say it! say we're awesome! :D

I'm really glad to have attended this food tasting session. It was something different and I love how everyone was so friendly and warm. Thanks to VibeHero for the invitation and I would definitely love to have opportunities like this again. Just for your info, Vibehero has plenty of recommendations for places mostly around Kuala Lumpur and you can visit their webpage www.vibehero.com to know more!

Christmas is coming in like, 10 days! It's like my 'Christmas Panic Button' has been pushed and now I'm all anxious and excited about it. Maybe you guys can try out DV Ristorante Pizzeria for your Christmas dinner? :D till next time, sayonara!

life as you know it

i need a day off at the beach, and this is totally irrelevant to this post

LIFE STINKS! and you know it. It doesn't matter whether it's about your studies or social life, they all stink. I'm not trying to be all negative about things but, maybe one day I might start to love my life when I finally figured out the meaning behind all these obstacles I'm facing right now. If there's really one good thing about life, that would be your FnF (family and friends). Yes, even though you might not know what on earth are they talking about sometimes or even worse, having your parents to make decisions for you without you knowing! *luckily my parents wouldn't do that but I've heard of many cases as such from others. BUT, your parents are the ones that made you and supported you since young and your true friends will always be willing to listen to you and give you a proper advice.

I've came across so many types of people. Some who will help you build the best of you and some bullshitty ones that piss you off all the time or give you the worst advice that you find em so ridiculous but at the same time you can only pretend to listen. Speaking of which I've heard of the most aberrant advice from the people around me but I've never dared to stood up and just tell them it's all wrong. Some people might even gossip bad things about you when you're around. Is that considered backstabbing? or is it too liberal and instead I should just accept that things are getting more realistic as I grow up which will really downcast me as a person that's still "unseasoned" to face the complex world.

Nevertheless, not all incidents in my life are bad. I do experience some favorable ones. I've met new people from my university and I still hangout with them until now. Some of my friends from my hometown study here too which makes things even more fortunate for me as I suck in making new friends. They really keep a company a lot when I'm in KL and I'm really grateful to have met all these jovial people as part of my merry messy life LOL.

You must be wondering why am I writing all these shitz. ahaha. It's because it's my blog and I just feel sharing my thoughts here. please don't call me a weirdo because some people do call me that :(

life is never perfect. I really hope one day I can have that life I've always wanted and just smile everyday.

atas cooking at home

I've always loved cooking at home, if you believe. :D I don't really care about the taste, as long as it's presentable and look more atas than the usual ones you have at home.

one of my creations: Carbonara with pan fried salmon prepared by me. Okay my food dont look atas at all. IT LOOKS FUGLY HERE :( but it tasted good lah #justsaying

 Maggi mee with asparagus, kimchi and beef. Okay. Now I know I totally sucked in cooking and failed to make my food look atas. but at least it looked more atas than ordinary maggi mee? LOLlLlL

BUT NEVERMIND. I'm sure I'll be more capable of doing it right this time.

So my friend ajak me to cook at his house, along with another friend lah. All you need is pork loin steak, bell peppers (capsicums), onions, garlic, rosemary (optional or you can use other herbs as well such as thyme maybe?) and also seasonings like salt and pepper etc. Cherry tomatoes were prepared as side dish.

 Capsicums cut into thin strips

 Gently slice the sides to maintain its original shape even after cooking. and it worked

Season the pork loin with salt and pepper

Toss onion and capsicums into a hot pan with olive oil, and then add pepper, salt and brown sugar. continue to saute until they are fully caramelized. add in some basil pesto sauce and also balsamic vinegar!.................................

 It should turn out to be like this! soft and yummayh

 Now for the main ingredient! Pan fry them with olive oil together with garlic and rosemary until golden brown.

Buttery sauteed cherry tomatoes! yumsss

TOTALLY UNGLAM in my wake up look. please dont judge me. I'm very hardworking to dress up myself one lah

Presentation is damn important to create that atas feel you want. The dish looks atas right?? :D please say yes

I have to admit this was mainly done by my friend, including the arrangement and deco. So once again, I FAILED i guess. but it was a fun experience though. and the food was total yums! Thanks for the food! It'll be my turn to cook for u guys next time and I'll make sure you guys finish em all! ahahahaha. x
