Not Home

So, I submitted my 4,500 word draft assignment, minus 4,000 words, yesterday. Examining mergers & acquisitions isn't easy! I'm really glad I chose this topic. I have to say, its interesting (minus the fact that I've got to be patient in understanding the graphs and tables) but financial analysts can make the most assumptions in the world EVERRR

Work was also tiring. I single-handedly, at most times, manage the kitchen yesterday. On the brighter side, my manager has agreed to give me more hours next week which means I need to manage my time wisely now. My dad's pretty worried about the fact that his daughter has to deal with hot oil, face heat and get bruises and scratches without knowing how she got it (yes, I came back with two bruises on my finger and a scratch on my hand a few days ago after work)

After a long weekend, everyone deserves a good break. It was also Zhen's farewell party. Went to HK Diner for more drinks and karaoke session at bout 2am. Boy was it nice to sleep last night!

We seek shelter in the telephone booth.
Too cold outside
Out apple sour shots

Drink Jassie
Why do shots when you can drink from the bottle?
While waiting to leave our coats in the cloakroom
And we're all ready
2nd round of drinks
3rd round.
Me and Zhen
Great night
She's so cute
The advantage of having a guy friend who is 5 times heavier than you are.
He's so gonna kill me for saying that
Spot this: Roti Canai (2pieces) GBP 4.00
Thats about RM25 for 2 pieces of roti canai made by non-mamaks!
Cendol and ice red bean
Nasi Lemak tak mau kari
4th round. One bottle of Black Label and Chivas.
He mixes his drinks with Green Tea 

I'm gonna make sure I'll stay sober for the next two weeks. Till CNY. Oh god! The thought of not being at home with my family during CNY is heart-wrenching. No angpows, no gambling, no complaining about going to boring parties, no walking around the neighbourhood/into neighbours' houses (normally on the 7th day) with my bro's lion dance troupe to collect angpows from random people (and as I'm getting older, it takes a lot of hardwork to potray the image of a 16 year old girl. People always assume that I'm married. HELLO! I don't wear a ring!), can't teach the younger kids how to gamble, can't drool over the mountain high of Carlsberg at home..and and and can't be with my family! We would normally colour co-ordinate on the first day of CNY =(

Till then, I shall sit at one corner and lament over my luck.

Stop The Annoying Applications

You guys ever realise the ever-increasing annoying applications on Facebook? Out of the 20 notifications I receive in a day, 15 of them are from those applications. You know, the ones whereby people send chocolates, kisses, hugs, hearts, cute gifts, throw pillows, you get the picture? HELLO! If you want to send chocolates, I'll give you my house address. If you want to give me hugs and kisses, you seek permission from my boyfriend (for the guys). You want to throw pillows, we'll have a pillow fight in the hotel room one day (again, if you are a guy, we shall keep this a secret from the boyfriend). Stop spamming my walls with all these unnecessary applications! I have to remove it every now and then. Luckily I've resolved to blocking those applications. PHEWWW!!


Finally decided to eat the top iced rich fruit cake given to me on Xmas.
Its REALLY SWEET, only had a teeny weeny piece.
That brown spot there, yea, I was experimenting with chocolate powder.
Wanted to put a love shape but then something told me
"why are you being so nice when you deserve better?"

Also, STOP, and I mean STOP spamming my walls with the "Help the people in Haiti now!" application. I don't effing donate by clicking. Which mother-fucking idiot came up that? You know the difference between donating and clicking? I'm not being ignorant, I just got better sense compared to you. Facebook can indeed do wonders to people.


Woot woot! Hardwork does pay off!
Sasha, Nereshah and I were jumping for joy and hugged each other upon receiving our results.
You've got no idea how much blood, sweat, tears, TIME and CASH we put in for this individual assignment

&& based on my observation, I don't understand why people have to join 387167126 groups and fan pages on Facebook. Ask yourself, how often do you check the group? Only on the day you click "Join"? How often do you check the messages the admins leave in your inbox? Even if you do read it, do you ACTUALLY read it word for word? I know of a person who has 255 UNread messages, ALL from the groups and fan pages joined. Do you even check your "Updates" section in your inbox? NO! So, don't  bloody join every single group/fan pages available and if your intention is to tell the world "Look! I'm joining this group cause it makes me look smarter/cooler/more popular", then GROW UP! Groups/fan pages were created for people who are truly interested about the subject/person and exchange USEFUL information, not make a mockery out of yourselves. 


Ahh! I'm done with my rants. 


Till then, when's my prince charming ever going to show up?

From Love to Hatred

If you have been stalking a frequent follower of my blog, you would have noticed the Daisypath. Yup, 8 oh-god-let's-stop-breaking-up-every-one-minute months! I'm not going to complain over the fact that he has changed, for the better AND worse, over these few months. I'm merely stating a fact.


See what yours truly has finally decided to do?
Buy a box of push pins but only use 8 of them.
Now I wonder if I should use push pins as earrings.. Hmmmm


If I were to be paid for being so nice to him, I swear to God, I would have enough money to feed the entire Haiti and build new houses for the victims too! 



Well, go against me and you know what you'll get
I'm mean, but that's just me.

First day back in Uni after 5 effing weeks of holiday. My brain wasn't functioning much and I've got two assignments due this week (and look! I'm blogging right now. YEAY!).


What? I was checking my angles.
Imperfections make us perfect.
New profile picture?

Like my curls? HEH!

So, I wish that I could turn back time and celebrate our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th monthniversary again. Yeah! You should know why if you are smart enough. You know, come to think of it, I don't even have a decent LATEST picture of my boyfriend. His stupid excuses? "I can't find the phone cable" or "the quality of the pictures are bad"! WTF!!!! Ahh yes, I'm being demanding right now. What? I don't webcam with him often (like I've said, I've gotta make appointments with him), is it too much of me to ask for a simple picture of him? To me, these are pretty essential to keep a LDR going. I don't want to arrive in KLIA in 5 months time and go "Err.. are you my boyfriend? Cause honestly, I can't recognise you" Oh and boyfriend, don't bother doing it after this anymore, you know how much I hate it when someone does something after s/he has been told. SUE ME!


Till then, ROLL IN THE NEXT BOYFRIEND!!


xoxo, -carmen-


p/s oh ya, Happy 8mthniversary, Hubbykins!

My Week

Yes, I have not been blogging for about a week now. Had a test on Wed and thank God it went well. Rushed back to the city centre for my induction with KFC. Yes, yours truly is now an employee of KFC. Mind you, its NOT an easy job. Making burgers and fries and chicken ain't easy. So many things to memorise and comply with. You guys probably think, "Ohh, its only KFC, no big deal. Easy job!" Damn you! Try making a Big Daddy Burger, Fillet Tower and Zinger Tower all within 60 seconds (there's a policy whereby customers have to be served within 60 seconds)! Pfftttt... But I'm getting paid, I'm happy with that.


So, finally let loose on Friday during an event, Memoirs, at Shanghai Nights. It was like a gathering for the Chinese. LOL! Got free beer and shots. Good music. Great friends. I'm too lazy to upload every single picture. 



While waiting for everyone to be ready


Cho Dai Di at Daphne's house

This is good stuff. 52% of alcohol.
One shot is good enough

Till then, I've gotta start studying again

Breast Cancer Awareness? More like Breast Awareness

Few days ago, I received this message in my inbox


"Write the color of your bra in your status. Just the color, nothing else. And send this on to ONLY girls no men. Let's see if this will spread the wings of cancer awareness. It will be fun to see how long it takes before the men will wonder why all the girls have a color in their status (tho most will be too thickheaded to notice)."


Oh ya, sue me. I've just ruined everything.


Then, I came across Aimee's blog and I agree with her on this particular post. 


Like her, I don't see the point either of putting the colour of my bra (Aimz, its bra) to create breast cancer awareness. I don't care if that is a pact between girls. If you think putting "Black" or "Red WITH laces" as your fb status is going to make every guy go "Oooo.. she's wearing a black bra..Wait, lemme masturbate to that" then I'm sorry, you are so wrong. 


First of all, it is possible for a man to have breast cancer though its quite a rare thing. Also, why exclude men from the whole breast cancer awareness thing? They have mothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives, mistresses and the list goes on, too! Everyone should play their parts. Of course, the thought of my boyfriend putting "Black with Red lips" as his fb status makes me nauseous. 


So girls, if you think its sexy to put the colour of your bra as your fb status, think again! How does that help create Breast Cancer Awareness? Its more like Breast Awareness.


Till then, think!

A White 21st

Celebrated Sasha's birthday on the 12th at FlavourZ. Mexican, Chinese, Italian and Indian buffet for dinner. Yes, like any normal person would do, I did starve myself the entire day.



We look so thin before eating.

Right? Right? Right?

Kj just got back from the gym.

Yes, I know that you are very proud of your muscular arms

ROUND 1

Chef cooking my 2nd round of food ♫

Where all the chefs hang out

My mee goreng..

Nereshah's portion with BBQ wings. YUMMY!

He's so hot.

The closest one could get to sex

One half of the dessert line

You pick and then the chef will do the rest

THOSAI!

Nyummm... Grapes and marshmallows

And since there were bananas, I made use of them

Birthday girl

She'll never forget that moment



Clearly, all 4 of us were bloated after dinner. Went to the casino afterwards. I was trying my luck on the Poker table and half way through, we had to evacuate the building after the fire alarm was triggered. We think that it was done on purpose. Nevertheless, climbing up and down the stairs was a good exercise for us. Haha! Went back to the poker table afterwards and I got the 20-1 payout again. WHEEEEE!!!


When it comes to gambling its all about self-control. I knew I was on a winning streak but I had enough after two hours. Couldn't feel my bum! We got out of the building and noticed that we could have a snowball fight session =) Oh and not forgetting, the part where we stood on thin ice. 



On our way to the casino

And it begins

Credits to the photographer

Ready to hit KJ

&*@^#@!!! He got me instead

Why must I be such a good girlfriend?

The day he slipped the ring onto my finger

Failed snowman.
It wasn't even a snowman. More like ais kacang!

Snow inside kj's shirt!

And we decided to stand on thin ice

We weren't that heavy after all!

I'll be busy over the next few days. Got a presentation on Monday and a test on Wednesday and two assignments due next week. GAHHH!! Other than that, my boyfriend's being a total jerk right now. Oh wait a minute, he has always been one. The only time he isn't is when he needs something (ie when he needs his "man pass"). 


Till then, will be back when I'm done with work
