the forbidden kingdom  

the word according to Sharon P


I dislike watching movie in kuching because of the cinema's audio system which is very lacking. However, becoz ka cheng itchy went to Star Cineplex last night to watch The Forbidden Kingdom..hehe..actuali for d sake to watch JET LI in action at the big screen..I seriously couldn't stand the audio system inside the cinema..it was sharp as hell and was piercing through my ear drums..and i had to close my right ear so it would be just half the effect during the advertisements..and I had thought all these while that i was the only weird one having dis prob as all my frens never had any complaints of the audio system..then hor i realized something..!!

everytime i predicted a loud scene coming, i would quickly close my right ear..and a guy sitting next to me would close his ears as well! :O so surprising! and worst still, he took tissues and stick them into his ears..LOL!! now i know that someone is weirder than me..!! ^^

But the audio system for Forbidden Kingdom was surprisingly not bad. So the movie is okay although some parts are just so ridiculous. Like even the Gods could speak English. Jacky's role as a failed scholar is acceptable dat he could speak English but Jet Li's role as the unsuccessful monk and Monkey King, and the Gods speaking in English are certainly unlogic.

Overall, the movie is watchable and good thing its not draggy at all..and both Jet Li and Jacky are really funny..esp when Jet Li scolded Jacky 'NO YOU FOOL!'and when Jacky was trying to make it rain at the desert to prove that he is a true taoist..hahaha! Gonna rate dis movie 7 out of 10.

Rich choc mud cake  

the word according to Sharon P


Yesterday I went over to this shop called DIY, somewhr near Jade Pot, opposite d old FORDA building at jln kereta api, to buy some of my baking necessities..after 'stealing' 3 of my Aunt Shelly's cookbook, I have so many options on what to bake right now, leaving her with only 1 cookbook left..hehehe *evil grin*


Actually I wanted to bake a pavlova at first but finally decided to bake something more familiar first, like a cake.. This recipe is very very simple..u'll just need to buy the instant rich choc mud cake mix which costs only RM7 and 1 pc of butter and for the chocolate paste, I've used the Hershey's syrup, which is great for the extra chocolate goodness, and last but not least, some water..


Everything is very basic and it is extremely simple and dis is definitely the easiest cake that I've ever baked so far..it took about 20 minutes or so to prepare the batter and pouring it in the cake tin..and 40 minutes later...vualah!!!




Sadly my cake got burnt a lil' on the top layer so I had to slice those black-ish areas out, therefore the holes here and there.. well, dont judge a book by its cover coz the cake tastes real goooooooood! Chill the cake and it'll taste even better!

Don't pray pray!

Why men don't write advice columns  

the word according to Sharon P

Dear Abie,
The other day i set off for work. I hadn't gone more than two kilometres when my engine conked out and my car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home, only to find my husband making love to our neighbour. He was let go from his job six months ago, and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but i don't know if i can trust him anymore. What should i do?

Frustrated


Dear Frustrated,
A car stalling can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Check that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it's clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. Or it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburettor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

abandoned beach  

the word according to Sharon P

During my site visit today, my colleague used another route and we entered this Malay kampung area whr i could see them doing sampans d old fashion way..u can jz imagine how simple is their life or how simple their life could be right in front of ur eyes at dat particular moment..one of the finished sampan is being sold around rm1500+ which is quite reasonable imo..dun tink its jz an ordinary sampan whr u hav to row it urself, but its installed with d mechanical engine..dun pray pray ok! so high-tech! but if u like d old-fashioned rowing, u can always turn off d engine and row urself.


after dat, we continued to go to d marine base site..and on d way, we stopped by this place called kampung pasir putih or something like dat..nearby muara tebas..which is abt half hours drive form Kuching city..i dare to bet only a few ppl in kuching have ever heard of dis place..oh man! d place is amazing!!!! the view there is simply breathtaking! and u could still see part of the soft white sand..but then its so disappointing to see lots of mangroves growing all over the place..and lots of dead coconut trees too..



and u actuali have to walk quite a distance to reach the beach shore..my hands r so itchy i couldnt stop myself from collecting a few nice seashells as my own souvenir..:P

Ah ChonG!!!


though u r no longer wif us, u will still live on in our hearts, thoughts and prayers always..

and hope u like the birthday cake dat we gave u yesterday..


hugz and kisses,
xka!


***************************
I chose a Birthday card and filled it with greetings
It was addressed to your heart, I wonder if you received it?
The weather's a bit cold; the wind is a bit strong, the city is quiet yet noisy.
I have to go home all by myself.

I asked myself if I had accustomed to this
Without you, the echo in the night has become louder.
Is there any method, to make loneliness more obedient?

How have you been lately? Are you still struggling within the memories?
You said you'd remember me, do you?

How have you been lately?
Are you busy, tired? Does your heart still hurt?
If you really can't help it but forget me,
Move towards happiness.

No matter what and how I feel, I can't show it anymore.

Yesterday is far away; tomorrow is a long way to.
The memories are vague, yet huge.
Nights like this... how can the tears not flow?

How have you been lately? Are you still struggling within the memories?
You said you'd remember me, do you?

How have you been lately?
Are you busy, tired? Does your heart still hurt?
If you really can't help it but forget me,
Move towards happiness.

grandma's bday  

the word according to Sharon P


Attended grandma's bday at Chef's Special at 3rd mile last Sat..it's her 73rd bday i think..d food thr was okay and they hav karaoke sets in each room..

during d cake cutting mom asked grandpa to giv d bday lady a bday kiss..and he did! grandpa kissed grandma twice after she blew d bday cake! so sweeet! u go grandpa! Have been missing all those reunions since i left for KL and its so hectic having to update all my aunties and uncles each time i meet them when i'm back to kch..both my parents have a pretty big family esp my mom..and some which i can hardly recognize if i happen to bump into them at d streets of kch..

and my aunt's baby daughter is JUST d most stubborn baby i've ever met! she has a bad tantrum and does not let anyone carry her except her mommy..her own daddy she also doesn't wan..my countless attempt has failed miserably as well..and her parents had to bring her baby chair dat somehow looks like 'tam pui' and even a laptop just for her to watch barney..simply mom and dad's lil' princess..




SHA & VI CAMWHORING

war of the donuts  

the word according to Sharon P

In life, u do have to make comparisons in order to make d best decision or find d best option dat suits u most...such as.... d BEST donut dat suits ur taste bud and give u dat tingling sensation or an excitement ooze dat takes u to cloud 9 at ur very 1st bite~! xD therefore, i chose to pick a war between these 2 donut chain factories, big apple and jco donuts. In KL, u can find big apple easily when u go shopping at Mid V, One U, subang parade or the curve while J.co is at Pavillion..mayb they hav other branches right now la..and u'll be very surprised to see how long d queue is and wondering wad makes is so special dat ppl wud wait patiently for it..its simply undescribable..try it out urself~ my fren said she tried it and its normal le..well dats wad comparison is all abt babe~



*BIG APPLE DONUTS*



VS.




*J.CO DONUTS*


and imo, the clear winner is definitely Big Apple....!~~ J.co is softer and might win over big apple for its variety and softness but their taste isnt as great...and d taste is d most important factor...try d cheese donut from both donut factoris and then u'll noe wad i mean..

wondering when will they ever come in to kuching hor? :/






*EDIT: Big Apple has officially been launched at tHe Spring 2day!* How coincident is dat?! woot! o.O



And d 1st 100 customers get to have a pack of half dozen for free..i juz got to know abt d launching in kuching after work and was super delighted and i told my mum 'Let's go and buy it now!' hehehe..yeay im a donut maniac! :P


Big Apple @ tHe spring is located very near d main entrance, next to Roxy..and d queue is unbelievably long as well..duh..have to wait almost 20 mins to get my box..zzz! but its all worthwile la..XD

brand new digicam  

the word according to Sharon P

after nagging my mum to buy a new digicam for weeks, finally we've gotten a brand new one yesterday~~!..XD

at 1st my family n i went to PIKOM PC fair at permata carpark around 12pm but d place was pack like hell and so stuffy and warm and one can easily kena squezzed penget like pancake. we went to see canon and sony booths. sony's t series also not bad but d touch screen is nt convinient for my dad to use as his hand is so big. decided to leave early so my sis jz bought a kingston pendrive 2gb for rm26. juz 2 months ago i bought my pendrive mini 2gb for rm47. so kek tiokz!! after dat we went to Hock lee centre to see whether they have nikon s600 thr.

i'd thought dat d nikon s600 is pretty good considering d price for such cool specs such as 10megapixels and 28mm wide angle lens and etc..but the sales guy mr kueh told us dat nikon was good before but now d quality has deteriorated, mainly coz its produced in thailand now..and he recommended us the canon digital ixus 860i, which was eventually my 2nd option after hearing good reviews abt it in d internet. apart from being small sized, it has cool specs such as 28mm wide angle lens and 3.0" lcd and it takes very clear images and videos. U can even interchange the colour of ur shirt wif ur frens' in d pic taken. now dats fun! :P

so we bought it for RM1270, rm29 cheaper than PC fair and got d same freebies as offered at pc fair such as 2gb memory card, casing, mini tripod, umbrella, metal strap and rm100 voucher. becoz we added an additional screen protector (RM39) we got it for rm20, so d total was rm1290.

Camera aside, i also got myself my very very very VERY 1st hair dye!!! XD

I wanted sth brown and reddish so i chose d colour light ash brown or blonde i tink, forgotten d..since it was my 1st hair dye i expected a darker version for my super dark black hair wouldnt absorb d dye well although d hairstylist assured me dat it will be d same..2 hrs later, it turned out to be exactly d same shade..quite impress wif them..however i jz read from d internet dat ash will turn ur hair green..and i was so so shocked =O / o.O and wanted to bomb my hair dresser so badly but on 2nd thought.. green hair is quite cool too. :)

exhausted  

the word according to Sharon P

extremely exhausted right now...and i dun noe y..mom said its abnormal for ppl to get sleepy most of d time..maybe got some sickness..sheesh! mayb i nid 2 go for full body chk-up. even while im sms-ing my fren i almost doze off..but still have to work..IF ONLY...i'd take a full day leave instead of HALF! grr! dad also scold me silly. coz i dun get paid training here unlike my other classmates at other companies. =.= some say 'why dont juz quit?' cant la. u think so easy meh? how m i gonna pass dis sem later? and sumore later kena blacklisted by the company and d company's circle of frens.

well well the half day leave is 'coz it's the 'cheng beng' festival today and i went to the sarawak buddhist temple mainly to pay respect to my dearly beloved fren aka my da ke ai..who is so selfish to leave us all without saying goodbye..hmphf..!

so i went to the temple early and called up my fren, nick coz i didnt c anyone familiar thr yet..mana tau d time has been postponed..sikui nick didnt update me pun..so i walk here and there inside and around d temple looking for my fren's name plate, carrying along a big bouquet of chrysanthemum flowers..got at least 4-5 rounds ah..how embarrasing.. =.= and d ppl sitting outside look at me like im an alien lidat..aiii! finally i've decided to ask d temple caretaker, i tink she is, d place where my fren's name plate is located..and dats how i'm no longer lost and clueless..*phew*

finally d others came and we prayed awhile, yea even though i'm a christian but my family and i do visit temples and pay respect thr..and thr was also a monk hired to pray over my fren..we all followed thru d ceremony which lasted for abt 15 mins..

on my way to Maybank today i was still daydreaming while im behind d steering wheel dat i made a right turning without noticing a perodua rusa coming from d opposite direction..d driver avoided me and almost terpelanting..i felt so bad and was totally alert after dat..learnt my lesson..

In d afternoon, after sending my mum off to work it was still early..so i went to permata car park for d PIKOM pc fair exhibition alone..sob sob..whoa reli alot of ppl man..quite pack and d space is reli limited le..d pc fair is reli small compared to KL's pc fair..i went to chk out sony and canon booths offering digicam and i found out both brands offer quite similar digicam specs apart from d appearance wise..so its quite hard for me to decide now..and my good fren's sis is working at d Sony booth so i asked her can get discounts or not? she replied me can give more free gifts only..aiyer..sadness!

Yea thr r also lots of lenglui promoters..dats y so many guys lo..but didnt c any leng chai thr 2day..pc fair, ill be back dis Sun wif my walking banks! jz wait for me!
