-Took this picture on valentines this year but I didn't really see it 'till I looked through my pictures in my external hard drive. haha-

Just some short updates~!
Me and some friends had a BBQ session last weekend..
it was hot, but the food was good. :)
Did you know that bacon and banana is a good combination for bbq-ing?? It's sooooo delicious, I got addicted. I think 80% of the time during the BBQ I was busy eating bacon & banana. haha.

Other than that, I've just been spending time with my lurrvvee..going "kai kai" (walking in the mall/shopping), strolling/chilling at the park, going for desserts, yum cha-ing with friends and all. ;)

p.s.: I like seeing him in formal wear. hahaha. :p


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


On another note altogether, I need to complain about my face.
Last Sunday morning I woke up with an itch on my forehead. Like literally my whole forehead and I could see that it was really really red. Not only that, the surface of my skin became quite rough. My forehead, mind you, for the past year or so have been non-problematic and pimple free.
I decided not to touch it, but that itch has spread all over my face, so now I look like this horrible ugly lobster-faced monster. *gasp*
The worse thing is, I don't even know what caused it because it just happened over night.
Could it be something I ate? or the products I'm using on my face? The thing is, I've been using my facial products for quite some time now and it hasn't been giving me any problems at all. So I highly doubt that could be it.
I'm getting so annoyed trying to get rid of it. It's been 4 days and I'm still stuck with this rough skin which I don't even refer to as skin!!
This is worse than acne. Omg. WHYYY ="(

I'm wondering how did I manage to type out a blog post every single day in the past few months.
Currently, my mind's kinda not-into blogging. Hmm.

Anyhoo, it's almost the time of the month again. Which means = PMS. How wonderful.
I'm annoyed with my own feelings and behavior these days. I just can't understand how I could be annoyed with certain small issues; so I've decided to google "PMS" (finally) to really read about this thing which women often blame on for almost everything.

It seems that there are more than 200 symptoms for PMS and I think I have these:

• Abdominal Bloating (I'd feel fat)
• Breast tenderness or swelling (no comment)
• Stress or anxiety (IF I'm having exams, due dates, etc)
• TROUBLE FALLING ASLEEP (happens everytime)
• Headache (Happens during pms and while I'm having my period)
• Fatigue (ugh, I hate being fatigue)
• ACNE ($*&^@#*&$*&(#$ - long string of very bad words)
• Mood Swings (This is the thing I hate most. I'd prefer being happy 24/7. Hate you mood swings!)
• Irritability (getting annoyed over the smallest matters)

Conclusion: PMS is a pain in the ass.

However, I will not allow such a thing to fluctuate my emotions. NO!  >:(

Note to self: I will be happy and not be emotional for no apparent reason because it's stupid and a mere waste of time and energy.

Smile Regina...SMILLEEEE
Oh gawd, I'm talking to myself.

My sister dug this picture of me a few days ago..and I was chatting to my old friend Vic about "those" days in school as well..Therefore, I decided to post this up. It's a lovely photo of myself in the librarian uniform. You have my permission to laugh. haha. I'm proud of it nonetheless. :p
Honestly, I didn't change much (I think), Vic said my personality has been the same ever since I was a kid...l-o-l. Not sure if that's a good thing? I was more of the "gila-gila" kid because I loved to laugh. I laughed at almost anything and I hated to see people sad. So, I've always tried my best to make others laugh along with me........even if it meant making lame jokes, getting laughed "at" instead of laughing "with", making awfully weird faces and all. Gawd, I lost my dignity right there. -.-

I guess it's true what they say.. "A leopard never changes its spots".
My hair may change, my sense of dressing may differ from what it used to be..
in the end, what really matters is who I am on the inside and I'm happy that I'm still that person.
=)

For my 21st birthday, I didn't want to do common stuff like..going to the club and all 'cause honestly I rather enjoy the company of my close friends in a chilling surrounding compared to the bombardment of noise. So, Fernie and RJ recommended the whole "rent a hotel room" idea. I had a few options. My first choice was Sunway because I remembered seeing beautiful pictures of the presidential suite. Sadly, they were very strict about the "2 people only" policy so I couldn't book the place. My mom then suggested a wonderful idea : Cyberview Lodge Resort. Their hotels are in the form of chalets and it's rather private.. plus they allowed us to have more people in a room because it isn't like the normal hotel rooms where you're so close by another room. They had 2 units of bungalows and when I visited the place I instantly fell in love with the Balinese inspired concept of the place. I chose unit no. 100 (they have 2 units: no.101 and no.100) because it overlooked the beautiful garden and the waterfall pool was just sooo close by. I love listening to the waterfall sound. ;p The picture above shows the masterbedroom's bathroom. It's a lot larger than the picture..behind that wood semi-wall, there's the WC and behind the brick wall's the shower. On the right is the supposed jacuzzi which we couldn't really operate because we didn't see any holes which boosts out the bubbles. But, the lady who showed us around told us it was a jacuzzi. Hmm. Was a nice bath-tub nonetheless.

This is the masterbedroom where me and a few of my friends slept. The lighting in the bungalow was a tinge of orange which gives the whole romantic ambiance. It's perfect for a honeymoon. haha.

Still a picture of the masterbedroom. On the right there's a flat screen TV and if you walk further in, that's where the toilet is located.

Presenting the dining table which was rarely used. :p

This is the other room in the bungalow~ It's nice too :)
Outside the bungalow, there were day-beds, rocking chairs, tea tables and chairs, etc for those who enjoy relaxing outdoors.
The dinner was set at Xing Zhu Chinese restaurant at 8pm.
We had to meet up at the lobby by 7.45pm for the shuttle to bring us there.

Zhi Yun and Annie whom I haven't seen and talked to in agessss. Was nice to have them around after so long. =)

Me and Yen+Fernie. I just realised that I didn't have a picture with Meryll in my own camera! =(
Time to steal from others. haha. As usual, I was too busy doing some other stuff and for that I'd have super limited  photos. Sigh.

Following are pictures of the food:
Some four season thingie.

This looked weird to me because I've never seen shark fin soup being presented in such a way. It was delicious though. Nice presentation.

Marinated lamb.
Very delicious cod-fish. This was probably my favourite dish.

Salad prawns. Thank goodness they removed the shell. We didn't have to get all messy trying to remove the shell. :p

Abalone and brocolli.
Noodles which they kindly helped to distribute in small bowls.

The cute dessert! I forgot to take a picture of another dessert : the mango sago

Totally loved the bunny. haha. ;p

A group picture of everyone! =)

Back at the hotel, I took some cam-ho pictures and *ahem* pictures with the other girls which is in Yen's camera. hahaha.
After that, I went for a shower to remove the gunk from my face and to take off the wig.
Then, I heard Yen supposedly screaming for help saying that she was bullied and all.
When I went out, Fernie was holding the cake and they all sang happy birthday.
It was utter chaos while we were cutting the cake though. The whole cake was made of ice-cream and it was melting like lava from a volcano. After eating a slice of cake, each of us picked a spoon and started digging in like barbarians. The sight of us eating the cake was hilarious but I tried not to laugh. hahaha.
When the cake was finished, they passed me the presents. I was so touched I almost teared..
Can't believe they went out of the way to get the cake for me..and the presents were really nice too. I love all of 'em. =)

We continued the night by playing a few round of twisters and we played spin the bottle 'till 5am+. lol.
The next day, we bummed around 'till 5pm+, checked out and headed for a yummy dinner at a restaurant recommended by Fernie. I forgot how the name is spelled. It's an Italian restaurant : Kaffe/Caffe/Caff???? Shall confirm with her again. haha.

Lastly, I would like to thank Chan Heng, Yen (my first ever friend in final year. =D ), Fernie, Rong Jiang, Boon, Meryll, Nicky, Annie and Zhi Yun for coming and making those 2 days so special and interesting. I really appreciate you FUN friends. haha. All of you are so amazing. I can't ask for better friends than you people because each of you are like a ray of sunshine in my life which brings me joy and happiness. Thank you. =)
*hugs*

It was my 21st birthday yesterday! Wasn't sure if I should celebrate the fact that I've made it to the "young adult" stage or to mourn the fact that I'm another year Older. haha. Just kiddin'. Obviously I'm happy I've finally turned 21. I'm officially legal babehh!! :p

Early in the morning, my dad came around, hugged me, wished me and gave me my key pendant. He said, "you now have the freedom to do..GOOD". He emphasized on the "GOOD" really clearly I wonder why. hahaha.

Like every other birthdays I've ever had in my life, the tradition is to celebrate the actual birthday with my family. So the plan for my birthday was a dinner with my lovely family~

We went to Starhill and proceeded the restaurants at the lowest floor. There were quite a few but I finally managed to pick one, which was called Pak Loh Chiu Chou Restaurant. I had no idea what the difference was between Chiu Chou and every other chinese restaurants out there but the place looked good.
I'm always attracted to restaurants with beautiful interior decorating. The service was definitely good because the moment we stepped in, the friendly waitress led us into the private area although there were still seats outside. Was so nice of her. =)

Picture of the menu and the plates/bowls, etc. haha

Me drinking the "welcome tea". The welcome tea tasted really good!

So was the pot of tea which we ordered. Honestly, every single dish there tasted really good and I'm not being biased just because of the place. I'm the kinda person who actually tastes the food to judge if it's good. Thanks to my dad who have been teaching us to eat delicious food ever since we were little. Even if it's beside the street, next to a drain..if the food tastes good, it's good. ;p

They actually gave us a "guide to ChiuChou cuisine" in order to help us understand the type of cuisine better. haha.

We finished our dinner approximately 10pm and when we reached home, it was the "cutting cake ceremony".
I've been cutting my birthday cake at the exact same place for many years. l-o-l.

BR ice cream cake. It's so yummmyyy~ and cute!

                                         
Thank goodness this ice cream cake wasn't as hard as the previous one from the choir ministry at Wong Kok. hahaha. X)

As usual, there was the solo-picture-taking session exclusively by me, myself and I ( I've not used these words in such a long time! Ever since high school.)

Acting-cute pictures are fun because I won't look so serious.

Picture of me in my room, thanks to my sis Charissa~



Don't really have any other explanation for the other pictures because they were all basically S-S pictures. rofl.

There was something unexpected towards the end of the night though. I got a surprise by my cell group members =)

My sister came to me, asking me to take water for her which was pretty unusual because she has water in her room.
Nonetheless, I went.... and found many people crammed in the kitchen with a birthday cake lighted up.
They sang a birthday song and I cut the cake again..for the second time. haha.
Michelle made a card and Careen picked the present.
Something embarrassing happened while I was opening the present. -___-
The box shows a small hair-dryer and I was like "oh! I would've needed a small hair dryer for travelling and all, thanks!"
Careen replied "aaa...it's not a hairdryer"
rofllmaolol.
When I opened the box, there was a very pretty tube dress with a front zipper. And the thing is, I've been meaning to purchase a dress like that! Careen totally read my mind. :p
But then again, I would always appreciate any gift anyone gives to me. =)

I was also very touched by the hand-made card..it's so beautiful~

I just realised that I don't have the group picture from last night. Sooo..I'll be waiting to steal it from anyone who uploads it.. ;p

Picture successfully stolen! =)


A small shout out to Careen: Thanks for being such a wonderful connect group leader..you're so patient, caring, nice & _________(insert all sorts of nice words here). I'm so happy to have gotten to know you. Thanks for everything ~ ;)

It's been more than a month and I'm still enjoying BUMMING AROUND. A big whooppie for freedom! :)
Have watched almost all the movies and yesterday I got TRICKED by Chan Heng to watch the Laughing Gor. I was told that the movie was a comedy but, it was an action movie. I don't usually watch chinese movies you see, so I totally bought it because of the stupid name it has : "LAUGHING GOR". Anyway, it was something like..Infernal Affairs and the "Gor" is supposedly Kor as in "Tai KOR". Gawd. Awesome translations. Thank goodness it wasn't that bad, OR ELSE. lol.

This incident reminded me of the time when the IP Man movie was released.
Everyone was telling me "hey! go and watch I-P Man! It's really good!"
It made me wonder what was so good about I.P. Man. Wouldn't it be only about computers and stuff? sounded boring to me.
Then I heard that it had something to do with ancient China.
My thoughts turned to :Since when did they have computers in ancient China?
When I finally watched the show, I got what it mean. It's YIP MAN. The name of the character in the show.
Bloody hell, Malaysian chinese kinda fails at pronouncing chinese movie names.
Or maybe it's just a handfull of my friends. I don't know. To those who were in the same boat of bad pronounciations, don't get offended ok, I just think it's funny because all the while I was pronouncing it as I.P. Man as well, 'till I watched the movie. haha. :p

Oh yeah, I just have to say this: If you're driving a Kancil, Saga, Wira, Gen 2, Satria and various normal cars which normal people has, stop trying to stand out by installing a SHIP sounding engine to your car because not only does it make the car look CHEAP, it is ANNOYING. Do take note that a loud sounding car is only suitable for posh cars. I especially hate it when some cheap-ass poser dude steps out of his cheap, UGLY, modified car acting cool as though all the girls would drool over his mediocre car sounds, cheap paint, spoilers which are way too big for the car and its disgustingly hideous bodykit & skirting. It gives me the urge to throw my cup of limau ice to their direction.

Btw, this song is fantastic. It's a mixture of 6 songs :  
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
2. Howie Day - Collide
3. Five For Fighting - Superman
4. Angela Ammons - Always Getting Over You
5. Boyzone - All That I Need
6. 3 Doors Down - Here Without You

My dad sent me this link with some wise quotes to ponder upon a few weeks ago.
