---------------------------To be continued and updated ---------------------------------------

These days I was really happy, it was all begin from 2 days ago.....hehehe

It was a usual Wednesday, until 10am, lights off in our office and we were informed half an hour later that a long maintenance job was necessary and there was not necessary to continue stay for work because electric will only recover by evening. 

WoooHOOOO!! HURRAYYYYY! 

We were so happy because we gained a free day!!! Actually we really doubted if our boss would let go us so easily, but thanks to my lovely GM, Tristan. He just gave the order, and my boss took the advise, and we successfully leave office around 11am ~ I am so HAAAAAAAAAAAAPPY!

Well, back home sounds boring, so <Pearls of sister> (such a naughtly and lame whatapps group name) decided to go for a movie =) 

We gone to Sunway Pyramid for lunch first, almost miss out the movie session because we really could not make up a decision to watch which movie. Mainly because 2 of us, Elsa and Liyin, refused to watch horror movies. 

Luckily in the end, we agreed to go for <Thor 3> and proceed to lunch at Yoshinoya. 

I shared lunch with Elsa, actually Yoshinoya food is not bad, especially in Pyramid branch. I tried Yoshinoya in Klang, it was terrible.

Can tell everyone was happy because we got day off~

The movie was great, very fun to watch. I really enjoyed it, but i am not going to write a review of it though. 

After the movie, we went to get KOI bubble tea, really happy that this brand have enter Malaysia market, and more franchaise opened. 

There is also a computer game kind of expo occuring in Pyramid today, my colleagues really enjoy playing those VR. 

Well, i never into those things, computer games never really attract me. 

What really attracted me was another Fujifilm exhibition in Pyramid too, most of the polaroid and the film are having discounts. 

I was really hesitate, because recently the new released Minion's polaroid really cute. 

I always want to have a polaroid. but due to the price of the film, i kept stopping myself to get one.

However, i didnt hold myself today....hmmm, i bought it with discounted price, and come with 3 films pack and 1 mini photo album.

My colleagues kept pushing me to buy, they thought i would be rational and hold myself, but they were wrong.

I was easily convinced, it was proven when i bought the 2K coach bag and easily buy the coat during my Korea trip.

So i bought it....=/=, but no worries, i did not regret what i had bought, because i really love it. 

Let's open the box! even the box itself is so cute.

Ok, is time to reveal the content:

this is awesome!

It is a decent polaroid, such an abdorable product, with a cute "outfit"

Tada~after wearing the "outfit", it turns into minion~

Even at the back also got minion!

Then i used it for the first time tonight during the outing group gathering.

We had dinner at Funa Japanese cuisine tonight, before Cheen departing for 9-months cruise job next year. 

I was really surprised she decided to go for such a long trip. 

Wish her all the best!

My dinner was alright tonight, 

We also tested out the polaroid, with minions frame, great ^^

But i did feel bad to the waiter because he need to wait us to check the photo and this kind of camera took longer time to take photo compared with normal phone or digital camera.

But the photo quality is good, and the frame so cute. 

I suddenly have mood tonight, and was having fun with the selfie using my phone before sleep. 

Just discovered that the makeup plus app was really fun~

Somehow can figure out what kind of make up suits me. 

Surprisingly, i actually look really different when i put on kpop style make up! Wooah!

That's all for the fun stuff these days, keep smiling =D

今天有感而發想用中文來寫文章，其實也是因爲昨天和今天的心情都相當好 =）

大前晚周六我又熬夜了，我果然是個貓頭鷹，這個每夜11時前入眠的目標怎麽好像有點異想天開了呢？

總之昨天就起的挺遲的，大約11時早上才肯起床，然後望著擱在床邊買了2年多的3D積木突然就想拼湊起來了

是發什麽神經突然手癢也不懂，反正這一開始了就結束不了，因爲房間的地板上已一堆殘跡，旋轉木馬在呼喚我呀~

午餐前我暫停了一下，但是清楚一定要在當天把所有積木拼湊起來，我的旋轉木馬一定要完成

好久都沒有這種意志了，也很久沒有動手做美工了，午餐熨完家裏所有衣物后，我又繼續那未完成的旋轉木馬

粗心大意的我其實弄斷了2只木馬的馬蹄，還有一根支撐作用的柱子，一邊抱怨這木質的脆弱和自己粗魯的手藝

反正經過總共3個小時的折騰，我總算費了九牛二虎之力完成了這個夢幻般的旋轉木馬

個人其實還是挺自豪的吧，雖然很難從照片發覺其實這旋木少了2只木馬，和斷裂了的柱子的瑕疵，但是整體上還是相當漂亮的

今天因爲早上班所以早離開公司，到了百貨公司買了一支強力膠，剛剛稍微固定了所有鬆散的部分，希望這脆弱的旋木更加牢固

老實說，今天真的挺累的，昨晚不夠睡，早上一大早又要做8個蛋糕，不過我自己還是挺開心的，真的完全沒有monday blue

而且可以早些離開公司，在回家前到百貨一趟還不錯。。。

除了強力膠，還買了一本特價的小説- 吉本芭娜娜的《橡子姐妹》

一直都想閲讀吉本芭娜娜的小説，感覺她的小説應該很有魅力，不知從何開始有這個想法，大概是某次瀏覽書局網站看過一些她小説的序之類的吧

接著也更新了自己大衆書局的會員卡，我覺得自己好像是時候買個書架了，自己的書真的越買越多~

不過閲讀絕對是一個很好的嗜好！

結帳時還看到這個！我的媽，有股衝動要訂購，可是這價錢，不是說不能負擔，只是爲了一時的喜悅好像真的又沒有必要，畢竟原聲帶的歌曲全都可以在網上下載

照片寫真珍藏什麽的感覺就是好像很物質主義，想想其實如果真的買了回家也只有一個下場- 收藏在房間的儲物柜不見天日==

所以只能遠遠觀望了哈哈哈

不過今天的快樂還有一個：

就是haagen dazs的免費雪糕，上週在網站上意外發現的好康~

登入官網成爲新會員就可以得到one scoop，其實還不錯，而且今天櫃檯小姐是好人，給了我相當大的一個scoop啊！

她推薦的這個比利時巧克力口味也得卻很好吃~

看似簡簡單單的2天，但是都被這些生活中的小確幸填滿了~ 還有更多滿滿的無法用肉眼看見的愛~

人生真的很美好！

just wanna throw back some of the goodies that I recently had....not consider these as my food hunting during work series because there's also food that i tried out with other fren.

First of all, the big breakfast i had at [The Morning After] in Oasis Ara Damansara. 

Finally paid Oasis a visit after hearing about this beautiful place from my cousin, Sze ages ago, i decided to ask Huey Yee to join me to visit this place for food hunting.

Initially we would like to have some cafe food maybe at [Mr and Mrs] but too bad it was closed at night, but my craviness for big breakfast is too desperate, so ended up we chose a cafe at the side but with not many people around - [The Morning After]

Apparently the food menu had quite some number of options to choose, and not too pricy. 

I ordered [An American Dream], which come with sunny side up egg, roasted potatoes, beef bacon, turkey ham, chicken sausage, sautee mushroom and cherry tomatoes.

Slightly different from those typical big breakfast, roasted potatoes were served rather than hash brown.

I do know big breakfast is something very ordinary and easily can be done at home, but just somehow I still like to have big breakfast during cafe hunting.

Hence, a slightly different big breakfast will always light up my day =) 

When comes to the feedback, hmmm, their breakfast is large with lots of goodies, but taste was normal, nothing wow about it.

Next, move to the lunch I had few days ago at [有間麵館] in Da:Men mall, there are many food options at this new mall, but i have no idea why the mall is still so empty and seems like lacking of some feng shui.

Though the mall is really half dead, but there are 2 shops always crowded, one of them is this noodle shop we visited.

I had the meatball noodle soup while wai ee had the dry noodles. 

Their homemade noodle is really good, very refreshing and delicious.

Derrick ordered the fish head noodle soup also seems not bad.

Then, throw back to the Japanese potato shoestring snack I had during work. This is super yummy, really looking forward for my Japan trip now!

Ya, counting down to my Japan trip in another month! 

Got the travel book from Kok Chin, and I am rushing all my itinerary now!

I had suddenly discovered another interest recently which I also not sure why.

Perhaps because they are too cute, or I am too bored.

These are the little cute things I really crazily shopped for recently, and they are actually not cheap~

But I know where to get them for a reasonable price, though the quality is not really that good, but come on, I just enjoyed stamping it.

If you wondered where I stamped all these cute art, well, actually I also still wondering ==

I was thinking to write something, or draw something but since I have been blogging all time, I dont really write diary or draw my daily living anymore.

Sometimes I do think of drawing when I real bored, but I actually really poor in art, at the same time I enjoy watching people's drawing or sketching

complicated me ==

However, I do not regret to buy them, because they are real fun to play with~

Not just stamp, I also bought cute ink pad, nowadays the stationary world had become so much fun. Lucky students and kids today~

Look at this ink pad I bought from Daiso, it is so cool, it contains 2 different color pad in one, by pressing another button, I can switch from red ink pad to black ink pad

I also used them during writting cards/letters for frens, they are useful tools especially after I misplaced all the cute stickers I bought during high school which I barely used.

These cute stamps really very helpful~

I also bought a note book, with Paris Eiffel tower on the cover page, to record my journey in Taiwan.

Basically I used it to stamp those unique local stamp provided at everywhere I visited. 

Then I also started to write something before I went to bed (tho had been not writting it these days ==) to summarize the good things that happened to me daily.

I felt that I had taken things for granted since I back home, I forgot how to thank and be grateful with the good life I actually earning.

So I have to write it down and remind myself that I am actually doing very well and having many wonderful things and meeting awesome people in my life. 

As for the cute bear pen, it was a gift during my primary school time, yes I meant it.

But I dont dare to use it because it was too cute, but there is no point to put it aside, just like the cute small note pad too (with colorful content). 

So keep enjoy life!!

I mean who doesnt? 

Now with Air Asia, everyone can fly~ Oops, why I am promoting the airline? 

Well, just because frens around me really go travel a lot, tho I am jealous, but I still love they brought me all the souvenirs~

Just a post to gather all the lucky gift I got from frens and family around, and really grateful with these.

Because once I was gifted with these meant they remembered me while they were travelling =)

First of all, the precious Japanese snacks and food from Kanami all the way from Japan!

The whole little bags contained different types of snack which I never tried before. From candies, rice crackers, cookies to green tea. 

Here's a combination of Korean and Japanese souvenirs, the candies and chocolate on the left were from Japan while the Snail mask on the right was from Korea

Then I have these KOSE cleanser! Actually these are not souvenirs as I requested Kok chin to buy for me.

Initially I asked for black mask, but guy really do not understand the difference of cleanser and mask == 

And he bought 3 for me! == ended up of cause I bought all of them, and they were cheap. Just around RM15 per bottle, currently I am using them, though I dislike the aroma, but so far it did not irritate my skin.

Beside the cleanser, Kok chin really bought me a lots of souvenier!! 

These are the most generous souvenirs I ever got! Thank QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ!

Then I also have this Japanese famous banana cake, but not the original Tokyo version, this is from Kansai area. 

I did not really enjoy the Kansai version because the Tokyo one is much better.

But look at the packaging! It was so well packed, with layer after layer, the box is big, but the cake within is so small. 

Now let's check out the real Tokyo Banana~ 

Karen bought all these from Japan during her business trip, beside the Tokyo banana, she also bought the rice crackers.

The Tokyo banana indeed very pricy, and looked so high class =S 

1 box contains 12 pieces of banana cake only, and cost around RM80 per box!!! 

If you ask me whether it is that good, well, I think it is just ok. Nice but I dont think I will buy them if I saw them in Japan. 

Karen personally gave me another 2 LTO flavor of banana cake. which have flower and leopard print on the cake.

I think the LTO version are even better, LOL

I think the rice cracker is even tastier than the Tokyo banana. 

But I am happy that I have the chance to eat Tokyo banana because this dessert is too famous in Japan.

Then, this cheese cake flavored kit kat also was from Karen. 

She really bought a lot of things for us! It said on the packet that placing the chocolate bar in the microwave, it would melt like cheese cake. 

I tried and see what I had. Hmmm...

actually I failed for the first 2 attempts, the time was set too long and ended up my kit kat burnt into ashes ==

But I managed to "bake" the bar well done on the 3rd attempt, in terms of taste actually just so so. 

Melty kiss: this is one of my favourite chocolate candy from Japan now.

But this is also not a souvenier, I bought this at Isetan and Kanami told me this chocolate is nice. She was right ^^

Then another Green tea chocolate from Japan, also bought by Karen. The green tea flavor is really nice, not too sweet. 

Then this PURE candy also is another favourite Japanese candy. Kanami gifted me this, it was very refreshing, sweet but with sourness that boosted me up.

I bought another flavor of this PURE candy when I was travelled in Taiwan, seldom see this candy selling in Malaysia.

Then all these Thailand cookies were from my supplier, we often got these snacks upon their visits.

Then, another snack from Kanami. This is a long stick, with lots of Japanese Green tea cookies embeded with chocolate chips.

Quite nice =)

Jalgabee instant fries snack, from Siew Teng, I like it though I still wanna eat the 3 brothers brand which I havent got chance to eat. 

Last but not the least. Japan must buy - kit kat, with various flavor~

The top are from Ching Yee during her family trip in Japan last year, and the bottom was from Bee Peng.

I love the azuki red bean flavored the most~~~

Til next, I have more souvenirs to show off, stay tune!

Fun at work or after work continued:

This was taken by Karen's inside the big xmas tree, yes I mean inside.

Pyramid specially made the tree with many different lighting inside the xmas tree last year.

Here's the tree looks like from outside: 

We taken this photo last year during Din's farewell, oh we had dinner together at Pasta zamai too:

I still remembered we had to get back to work right after the dinner, it was so rush and superb stressed. 

Then, followed not soon after Din's farewell, is Kelvin's last day.

We are not very close but considered sharing lots of common topic at work or after work. 

He came to our office on his last day before his first step leaving Macfood. 

Then this was the very rare time I had food at my desk instead outside, yes I browsing website openly just because it was lunch time.

I saw the very interesting scene when I parked my car for work and also when I back my car for home at the carpark.

The morning glory was blooming so brightly and happily in the morning, 

But then after the heavy rain in the evening, they became like this:

I never knew they would fade in the evening, perhaps I read this before but never see them closing their petals....==

Then also this special species of cherry tomatoes, apparently they are those expensive one =S

Also bought this Japanese plum candy but only started taking them recently.

Kwin special edition T-shirt, I really hate this shirt == so gross.....

Last, the contribution of art from Derrick, Kong (our trainee) and me for this CNY.

Yep, just would like to reblog some photos I had taken around Christmas last year..

Truly RANDOM =P

Christmas in Malaysia had no longer so special for me especially my family dont really celebrate Xmas.

While when I was in NZ, Xmas is a big day regardless of the hot and humid summer. 

Then it is always a long weekend, and meant a lot for me because I could travel like others =D

If in Malaysia, only thing that could amaze me perhaps is the Christmas lighting and decors in shopping mall.

However I did not get many chances to view the lighting around, mainly just shopping mall which I bounced around home. 

Like this one on top, full of teddys, was spotted in Klang parade after it newly opened end of last yr. 

Seems like simple, but who would not love teddy bears =)

Then another mall in Klang area also use bear as theme. 

But this bear is super huge and abdorable, is the Forever Friends Teddie!! 

Besides, Sunway Pyramid also used the Bear themed, but is Polar bear

It's a hoopful christmas~ too bad I was rushing and did not take the photos nicely.

Then I also bought online bags for the first time via Malaysia online shop. 

Yes, I bought one from TaoBao before, and regreted because not really as nice as what I saw in the photo.

However, I got a free RM50 cash coupon without any pre-purchase on zalora, so I decided to use up the coupon for a RM50 bag.

Though in the end, I still need to pay RM5 shippment fee, but that's alright.

And here is my pick~ actually the color is very different from what been shown in the website, that's why I still opt out from shopping online.

Last but not least, I forgot I had watched The finale of Hobbit during Xmas too! How could I miss out the review =.=

Sorry that I actually forgot most of the scene, as well as story line. 

But I remembered it was also not a bad movie. hehe =P

Forgot to mention, my department with QA department also have a merged christmas event - and we had lucky draws!

And that's what I got: number 11~ pretty wrapping, but actually it is a boy present =.= (it is a car model =S i dint even wanna take a photo)

Ok, then there will be test 3, 4 and on going tests coming up....lol

Alright, if you still could nt get what i mean, you can visit my previous post here

These are the other tests results which I would like to share: (most of them are from luck)

well said, I am inconfident and always worry about little things. This result can be a momentum for me to believe and love myself more. 

But when the result stated i have a bad organizing skill and dunno how to clean up a messy room....i dont believe so, because I am proud of my organizing skill, and is not I dunno how to tidy up my room, is just I am too lazy to clean it up =P

OK, calmly move forward, I also think it will be a good year!

 I love to take psycology tests because I wish to know myself more and some of these tests are fun for making my day.

Just wanna share some recent test results which I got from the tests on PlayBuzz.

Which Iconic Supermodel I am?

KATE MOSS!!! Wooah!! How I wish I could be her, she's HOT!

I used to watch Supernatural during Uni, but I stopped watching since season 3 mainly because my 'resources' (Downloaded video clips from frens) have gone.

Well, you may shock that I watch this show not just bcz I love horror scene, but also because of Jensen Ackles who played the role "Dean" in the drama.

He just caught my heart in the first sight!

And I just got him in which Supernatural character I am!

No way I would let go when come to LOTR questions...I am a big fan of the ring!

I got Gandalf The Grey!!! AWESOME!!

Playbuzz guess my age is 29!! I wanna cry now....

When comes to Disney test, I got the little mermaid in which Disney Royalty I most likely to be.

To be honest with you, I would pick to be Ariel too because somehow she is just abdorable and charming to me ^^

My spirit dog is my favourite dog! Labrador!

Aren't they just cute? =)

So I got the Joy Emoji for my personality, hmmmm....

I always laughing and ready to have a good time. I can make light of any situation, good or bad.

Ok, finger cross someday I would be. But I will take it as a target and believe I would be that person!

EXACTLY!!! This is my favourite flower, it gives me the motivation to move life forward!

Food personality? Ok, I thought the anwser maybe food, but ended up I am a master chef ^^ Hooray!

Thanks! I take that as a compliment! Sincerely, I am really confident with my pallet. =D

Who would miss 'FROZEN', and I am Anna. Though I wish I could be Elsa, but Anna is cheerful and lovely, so why not?

Free spirit, YES....Eccentric and Impulsive...MAY BE.....HOPELESS ROMANTIC!? Hmmmmm.....

BA BA BA BABANANA....BAnana BANANANANA...BBBABBAABA....

Ok Just thought of the minions when comes to BaBABA BABANANA....

I wish it would be cherry or strawberry, may be is not bad to be a healthy and functional BABABA BABANANA...ok stop it! =P

I always wonder how others perceive me, which is actually not a good way of thinking.

As I should just live and do my best and stop being too sensitive for caring how ppl perceive me....

Anyways, test showed that people perceived me as the beauty!!!....Alright then...

This is a good news! I am getting there!!!

I thought I would get "NO...You over-worrying!" . Well, as most of my frens thought I am.

Seems like I am becoming a better ME =D

Good results kept coming.....The question was who are you among a group of people (likely who work together with)

 So I am a leader. I was a leader in my final year NPD project in Uni, but since then I never lead any projects mainly bcz I did not get to take this role as for my position level. But who knows in future, I would be? =P

Next, what country best fits my personality?

 YOu never believe this! I got NEW ZEALAND!!!!!

MY GOD, this result made my day!! I am so lucky, and indeed I am not doubting it because NZ fits me the best!

Oh my, I am missing the land of cloud again!!! Arg, wish to travel there soon....

Lastly, I will conclude this post with the life motto I got from the test below: 

 Thanks, I will keep in mind. Dream big, and Achieve it with the biggest effort!

This is just a random update after working for a few weeks...and the title was just randomly given since the month of April started today.

Happy April Fool everyone, whether you had fooled someone or  being a fool picked by someone...

I am all fine as I went to some sort of serious training today, so no jokes were made or mentioned.

Well, it was the first training since I started for my marketing job, yea I meant MARKETING..

Not sure how long i will be entitled with this role, but you will receive updates if I switched to somewhere better. =)

Life is meant to keep on trying and find the best that suit us right?

Back to the updates, i would like to share my new baby! =P

here you go~

So i finally changed my phone!! lol, it's been a while since I kept on complaining how disfunctioned was my HTC smart phone and I want to change a new phone...

It just happened in 1 day....when my mum bought herself a Samsung Grand, then I decided I will get one too.

However, I got myself the latest version, which is Grand 2...Is bigger, and enhanced in terms of speed, ram, and functions...

Guess what? I even get the phone cover for FREE.....though it is not an original Samsung case, as u knew, you can find anything in Malaysia ==

I also download the dodol launcher app for creative theme for my phone, and got Eiffel tower planted in my phone =P

Well, I could not deny that having a smart phone is really convenient, especially when I was lost!! I actually used WAZE to track where I was yesterday while at the same time, I blamed WAZE to bring me to a wrong location.

As mentioned above, i went for a training today...the training today was about updates of the latest variation guidelines of Health supplements in Malaysia....While training actually started since yesterday, which was about variation guidelines of traditional medicines...

It was held at the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau, PJ, and according to WAZE or GOOGLE MAP based on the given address on NPCB official website, it is located right opposite UM Hospital.

As you may notice I am still a rookies when come to driving, especially driving from Klang to PJ...moreover given that there are limited parking space....My dad decided to become my driver =(

Anyways, I got dropped at UM Hospital but I could not identified any building around which marked as NPCB....I went all over the places in UM hospital and was directed to different areas, and ended up wasted half an hour without getting any clues =O

It is quite frustrating as I never get into this situation even when I was in NZ....perhaps Malaysia is too complicated =S

Finally, I got told that NPCB is actually located 2km away from UM general hospital =O....then i had no choice but to catch a cab and spent RM6 to reach my destination.

Seems like GPS is not really reliable....but, come to think of that, it was the NPCB fault for misleading address, and not detailed their location of the training accurately.

A map or even a short description of nearby landmarks would be useful....at least I did not have to catch a taxi ==

Nevermind, I am grateful that both trainings were short and nt too boring...and i could leave EARLIER =D

So for me, this week i only work for 3 days ^^ I just couldnt wait for weekend!

Not that i am having plans for weekend, I am just too tired and losing motivation to strive all the deadline of those given marketing tasks...

oh well, i had done many shoppings in the past weekends....while most of them are dresses for work....

But i got some good stuffs last weekend!

Popular had this crazy sales since 2 weeks ago, but I could not spare my time to look into books since i knew the sales was going on.

Luckily i was able to grab some books from the sales 2 days ago, and now, I just need to find a good time to read them =)

And i also like to share some new food which i tried since I started working...

Apparently there were plenty of food spots around my working place, and my colleague bought me this special meal last week

NASI KERABU! Haha, is really shameful that being a Malaysian for 26 years, this was the first time I had this authentic food!

It was special in terms of appearance, because the blue color of the rice come from the petal of butterfly-pea flower. But when come to taste, it is rather common, but i think it is still very appealing dish to not miss out =)

Then, i also tried out Texas chicken with my family 2 weeks ago. Apparently this fast food chain is very popular in US.

However i still prefer KFC regardless how oily or greasy it is, as I go for the greasiness! lol.

Lastly, this cute little cake was gifted to my little brother to celebrate his birthday. =)

So this is my updates so far, will surely share the various good food or wonderful stuffs around me <3

I heard this statement quite a few times: the food always tasted the best during yr first attempt, or the trip always the greatest at yr first visit...

Somehow I wonder perhaps I should learn to keep the best memories I ald experienced and not to try for re-experience it in case there is a dissapointment.

I got this for lunch today, it's seems fancy and delicious, but in fact, they were not.

I used to have these 'advanced' sushi frequently since I found this sushi house at Palmy, but from time to time, their sushi actually lead my mood to a bad direction

They were not used to be like this, they are expensive now, and this is the second time I couldnt find my favourite tamago (egg) sushi at the sushi bar

It was very dissapointing, I was craving for that for such long time, I thought they just sold them out last time while i bought lunch at late hour,

but somehow this time is unforgivable...

U might think it was not such a big deal, but I am a foodie, a stubborn one

I just not agree with their sushi now anymore, and I am no longer going to visit them again.

That's why I learnt that I should just keep the best experience I had before in my mind, and just recall the sweet memory while i miss them

I rather lose the chance to have them again hence not getting a bad experience that may ruin my expectation

Anyways, here are some random products which I would like to share, I am having them quite regularly these days.

This is a casava vege chips, instead of deep fry, i think it was made via puffing technology, which seems healthier. Well, chips are not healthy anyways, I am begining the chips snacking again, i blame the winter syndrome! =P

These are kiwi-berries, I bought them 3 yrs ago while i was still a bloody poor student at Otago, and I recalled they were very sour and not attractive.

But apparently I think I mistakened them with goose-berries or some other berries.

Kiwi berries actually are very juicy and sweet =D But they are very expensive now, lucky me still able to snatch them at Pak n Save tho with a not reasonable price

This is not really a bloody orange, it a dessert-like yogurt from 'The Collective' brand, i love their brand yogurt a lot, they were rich and flavory~

Actually I am not a yogurt eater, I eat just for the sake of my health, but yogurt is really a wonderful creation!!

I guess NZ yogurt is also one of the food I will miss!

Start drinking this brand of tea only when I back from Malaysia this year, somehow they were very effective on helping 'business'

Not to mention I become a break-fast person since I started my working life, skipping them was my regular basis before, then I changed without able to work effectively if I missed them.

I started eating oats since last year, to be honest, they werent great, but i did regret that I dint found them out sooner while in NZ.

Rice cracker was the replacement of evil potato chips for me, but of cz i knew i bought both of them while rice cracker failed to fulfill my satisfaction for 'FATs' =S

I used to hate bread as I think they are making me fat, actually I still believe so, however, I do enjoy NZ wholegrain bread~

They are well-baked and healthy =D

And this is also another enjoyment for me, Arnott's vita-weat huge biscuit slices, it was just like a 'biscuit-bread'

very nice!

Lastly, one of the favourite item on my shopping list - hummus!

They just tasted best with the vita-weat slice on top or toast~

又是那一年一度的日子。。。唉，真无趣，哈哈

我也不懂为何在这里唉声叹气。。。哈哈其实我还真的没什么感觉啦

就也没刻意觉得需要庆祝，（都单身庆祝什么！），也并不觉得寂寞孤单之类的

对我来说，今天是年初五，还是农历新年 =D

看我今天在家发现了什么！

原来这面奖牌是我的啊！？还真的是吓倒了

去年在家就瞄到这面奖牌在橱窗里，倒没去想过是什么，也天真的以为家里小弟是不是在学校赢了什么比赛

也完全没想去看看这面奖牌。。。。今天才发现原来上面刻着本小姐的大名！

好的，澄清一下，奖牌潮州会馆为了奖励我从大学毕业而颁发的，据妈妈说没人帮我带领，直到会馆打电话问家人是否还要那面奖牌，否则就要丢了 ==

在这样的情况下得奖，算不算特别？

哈哈，这算不算是情人节礼物？

还真的很自我安慰一下。。。哈哈，怎么这样好歹也是我努力完成学业换来的！ 哈哈

大家情人节，单身节快乐。。。

祝福天下情人甜甜蜜蜜，恩爱幸福；单身的，包括我，找到对的人开花结果。。。

Well, actually today's weather was not that pleasant, it's been cloudy whole day

But despite of staying home watching dramas/movies, I rather went to the garden closed to my hse for a short walk.

and finally first time for me took this short walk, and viewed the Manawatu river via this angle~

I had been desparate waiting for the blooming of roses, yet, it was not fully bloomed.

I guess mainly bcz this yr weather was very fluctuating, the roses seems a bit refuse to bloom.

And, I finally gone to the mini bird park in the garden too, really impressed there were so many colorful birds...

Thus, ducks were around too....

I gone to the town for lunch and shopping after the walk, so this was a photo captured on my way back, as u can see, it was a cloudy day.

So hw was yr wkend been?

Yeah, I added another Eiffel tower item into my room

I bought this at Queen East gate mall during my day trip to Welly zoo last weekend

NZD34...not cheap tho  ==

But as a big Eiffel fan, I was not neglected about the price, plus chyimei was saying the price for the second hand similar item on trademe website are almost the same...

so I bought it, and

nice?? what about to compare with the original stall seller made?

mine nicer?? haha

Seriously, I really have to consider hardly if I want to go to cinema watching 'cartoon' again....

This morning's decision was very bad, I should have not watched the movie with Nicole....sigh...

I just felt that the NZD12.90 was wasted, well at least for me I think is not worth for <Brave>

I am sorry to all Pixar or <Brave> fans, just I am not an animation fan, and not really excited about those colour or design of the anime...

Hmmm, the movie is not bad, but I dont think is necessary to watch in cinema, I would rather wait the DVD released, or even not watching the movie.

Well, but a good movie msg for kids to watch, thumbs up for that =)

In between, I am waiting for the batman!! haha

But well, still have a great day out today with Nicole.

Have a big breakfast at a fancy cafe. That's all for today, indeed a random post, how's yours weekend?

Hihi, =P just wanna share some present I received lately

Received this from my new flatmate, actually is 2 greeting cards, but is traditional Chinese paper cut Art....

 The special gift received from Nicole~ =D

she really know what I love, PARIS!!! hahaha, i dont think i will use it tho~

Some random photos I captured these days:

First time saw this: is this the mushroom in Supermario?? Well, it is called Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria), anyways, they are very poisonous. I found them outside my house, but they were pretty much damaged, cz I guess people knew they were pretty but poisonous, and in order to stop them attacting young kids, best way is to step them!

Lunch boxes......Yea, I used to prepare lunch box at work, not that we have no food, we do have a small cafe in our site, but options were not much.. It was difficult and troublesome to go out for lunch as our site is not close to the town, plus I have no car. Most of my colleagues also prepared their own lunch boxes. We have 3 microwaves in our dining place, and also a big fridge.

On the top: simple cold salad (with smoked chicken, pepper, egg and tomatoes); on the bottom: kimchi soup stew on rice. (from food leftover overnight)/

So basically I didnt purposely make a lunch box except for simple salad, most of my lunch is from food leftover. I used to make a huge dinner, then save it for lunch or if possible, another dinner.

Cheese i bought from my working site. Yea, as I work in a dairy company, we do have cheese. But nt cheese produced from our plant/company, it's just complicated. Anyways, we have cheap cheese to sale. This cheese might cost 6 to 7 dollars at supermarket, I only bought for NZD4.80

dumplings and green onion pan cake from Noodle and Dumplings. This actually is my dinner (but not all for sure), I just suddenly craving for floury food today ==

 这次去奥克兰买了好多吃的。。。哈哈哈，单单糕点，就一箩箩。。。

这个其实也没很好吃，但挺特别，我第一次看到这种面包，就是蛋皮包面包再包肉松

这个是刚好特价买的，就是果干，不错的snack

最近还真的迷上了这个，恩如果不叫开心棒还真的不知叫什么。。能量棒？哈哈，反正好吃！

这个草饼很便宜，不过是台湾的，唉，为何都找不到日本的？？

我是干物女！所以我爱鱿鱼丝~右边那个中间还夹带黑芝麻，不过我还是喜欢原创，可惜啊，在奥克兰也还是找不到大发鳕鱼香丝！

还有日本，真的是日本的，巧克力粒！哈哈哈，最喜欢那个像雨伞的~

其实这次的收获不只是物质上的，还真的很庆幸有卓识这个朋友

我们昨天在我上飞机前聊了好多，发现其实他真的是个好女孩，是个真的值得深交的朋友

即使我们很少见面，但是却很多话聊，大家很投契。。。

谢谢你，卓识。我们一起好好加油，为梦想前进！
