I am back!!

Hello all (dont think there's a "all" here, its only hello me, but "all" sounds nicer and less antisocial), its been quite a few months since I'm here. Looked back and saw that the last post was in January! And now it's nearing July!! *gasp* I didn't realise it has been THAT long zomgosh!! I have so much to blogged about (err, not actually) but I cant find time (due to procrastination) and also i have no life in the past few months. i have no more friends to go out with. *sobs*

I am actually very, very free, considering that I am only attending one class this semester. So, im pretty free for the rest of the week. But, being a professional procrastinator, i dont work at normal times (it's 4am and im writing this, i cant sleep), and i was on my last few months (weeks actually) of my thesis. super last minute person like me and a very important thesis don't go well together if you want to know. its like a recipe for disaster. 

i was supposed to finish collecting data like monthssssss before, but i only did it like weeks before. urghh, bad, bad memories that i dont want to remember. also, there are some issues that arise regarding thesis and that got me stressed out for a couple of days nearing submission. and being stressed out means i will further delay my already-delayed work. which means more and more last minute work. urghh, seriously bad memories that shouldnt be remembered. there are more important things for my brain to keep. shoo shoo... go away, i dont want to see you anymore. 

at the same time, i was having a part time job too. actually its a full time job wtf. how is it considered part time when i work full office hours? its something that i dont understand. but oh well, every minute is money so im not complaining. ok i sound like some ungrateful brat here... but they have yet to pay me and its been like what.. one month? what did i gain from this work experience? do not ever, ever again think that you're so free because you have only one day class per week when you have thesis on the line at the same time. no. never ever again. but then again, i will never ever be doing thesis again so no problem with that. xD

And ladies and gentleman, this, is going to be ONE LONG @$$ post. 

I've like loaded pictures from my Facebook, because that is like my new online diary (lol!) or else I cannot remember what the hell happened for the past 6 long months. The pictures are all taken from my phone or screencapped. So, yeah... the quality sucks because I am too  cheapskate to get a phone with better picture quality. I've even stop using my digital camera and the DSLR too. I suck, I know. Waaalaoooehh, intro only also can be so long already. Wish I write like this fast when doing assignments. 

Lets just summarize what happened in the past few months with the help of these pictures. May not be in order... 

Macaroons all the way back in... February I guess. Friend's bf went to France and brought back these lovely macaroons. And the one thing good about being a lamp post is that... I get to enjoy these too!! xD Ok ok, im not that excited about being a #foreveralone. lol. 

Another friend's Diana F+! I have recently (actually been a while now) discovered analogue and film camera, so yeah, my friend offered to loan me her baby diana. it's special edition somemore you must have trusted me alot! the camera comes with a pack of film and also a diana f+ bible on the shots that has been taken in the past. you can see some really awesome photos taken by lomographers. good starting point and inspiration for the new comers in lomography. 
i've got to say this. Diana is quite difficult for beginners. need time to understand and master the camera or else the pictures will turn out shitty. which happens to my film. not proud. 

celebrated birthday in JUNE! together with my brother who is born in the same month. thought of making this celebration abit more special than the previous ones, so we went on a cake hunt, to find the purrrrfect cake for the birthdays. went out to try this particular cake from whisk which has countless awesome reviews, didnt like it. i hated the (quite strong) smell of rose. other than that, the cake was just ok. 


had another cake too, the chocolate cake, cannot remember what its called. also not very happy with that, maybe my expectations were too high. the only thing is, the choc cake is not so sweet like normal shops. which is good. but nah, not my liking.


PS: I'm just stating my own opinion here. So many fans will come and bash me for this. 

March 18! We, the GFC chawers celebrated the clubs anniversary with the man himself, Cao Ge! its a pool bbq party at his residence, hehe.. so awesome like zomgoshbbq wtf. didnt get into the water because (1) i cant swim and might drown, (2) did the chinese massage cupping thingy few days back and the marks are still VERY visible, (3) i might drown wtf! 


thats the group photo right there.

tried to cook porridge few weeks ago (about 1 month ago?) and it almost turned to rice and could feed like the whole army. as you can see in the picture, carrot shredding #fail to the max. 

worked part time in march and these are some of the awesome people in the office. super love this picture got feel ah... working part time may be the worse decision i have ever made this semester. there is a valid reason as to why the department do not allow me to have internship together with my thesis and im just being the rebellious me. 


screw up the thesis. fml i just hope i pass. 

someone in the neighbourhood is missing a parrot. its green and its a he. i find it quite amusing to see people look for parrot like that, but as a pet owner, the heart ache when you lose a pet.. its like losing your own child. 


i hope she found him already. 

Wasted my time and waited for wuchun to come and i left. waited few hours just to see a once-extreme-big star in person. oh well, saw and left to pasar malam. 

i have no idea what magazine is this and i buy just because of .. nope, not lee hom, but for those 3 awesome inspiring filmmakers in the bottom part there. too bad i cant catch them in kl. sighs. #WF4lyfe!

was browing through test units in samsung centre and i stumble upon this! someone forgot to log out his facebook account! so i decided to update a status (manatau if the owner din realise and then someone evil hack their fb?) and looked at other units and models and came back to check the fb again. this time the owner of the fb replied with a new status. 


sorry, i tried to log out but i just dont know how. went back the next day to check also and its still there. tried to log out again but i just cant seem to find the logout thing. even brought my samsung smartphone user friend who cant find the button too. oh well, we tried. 

spotted this cafe in Ipoh. note the name. Jeremy Lin, when did you open a cafe in Ipoh ha? the shop was closed (maybe cause its at night) so din get to see how it was decorated inside. 

very sad, car has scars. :'(

this is back in february 18 in muar. drove all the way there just to attend this charity concert. thanks for the ticket upgrade hehe... first time holding about rm3000 worth of tickets in my hands... so stress wtf. 

it's a sticky! i won a sticky! first time winning a lucky draw wtf in my torturous high heels that almost killed my feet too. i ended up with TWO bottles of sticky which i still have now. unopened. 

this girl.. been ages since i met her and her bestie bumped into me in the most random place possible. turns out she is leaving to further studies the very next week. so i am so so so lucky to have met you in neway missy!! was super random on how we 'bumped' into each other. hehe. like so #fated! 


the end. 

PS: if you have read till the end, thank you! you must be very free. sorry for all the spelling and grammar mistakes. this is what lazy people is like. kthnxbai. 

Chicken Nest Bao (Gai Wo Bao)

Note: This post was originally posted here, but due to the author's fickle mind, it was moved to an old blog, and then copied back here again. So, this is a totally new post and past comments cant be recovered. :(

Hello,

This is the continuation from the previous post. The discovery of this restaurant and the bao is quite... random. Well as usual, when i wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is to check Facebook. My friend posted a link on my wall, and said that we should go to hunt for this after exam. Then, at night on the same day, I went out with a few other friends, and they decided to have supper at that restaurant. I was not familiar with that area, so I didn't know at all it's the same restaurant posted on my wall in the morning. Then, someone ordered the bao, and it looked oh-so-familiar...

The friend that posted on my wall asked me to tapao, since I am already there, and so I did. 3am in the morning.

This is how the packing looks like. I was surprised to see the nice box because I thought they will just put it in the styrofoam box. They charge me RM6.00 for the bao. The box is specially designed to fit one bao in it.

This is how it looked like when you open the box. The awesome Chicken Nest Bao.

Ta-daa!!!! The whole of Chicken Nest Bao. Now you know why is it called Gai Wo Bao? Because, the outside is shaped like a chicken nest!! Hahaha, actually that's my best guess, i have no idea as well. Well, this bao is a combination of a meat bao and loh mai kai.

The shop claims that they are the only shop in the whole Malaysia to sell this bao. There are newspaper clippings hanging on the extension atap outside the shop.

The insides of the bao. As you can see in the picture, the ingredients are plenty. The meat are cut in quite big chunks, and mushroom too. There's something to bite at least.

The skin of the bao (the entire white area) is chewy, and thats the part i love the most. They are not stingy with the ingredients, which I think is the value for money. Many business now charge very expensive for food, but you cant see the ingredients. And this pau, has a nasi pulut base, which is the loh mai kai.

One week after that, me and the same friend decided to drop by the shop to have another taste of the bao. But time time, they only charge us RM4.80 because we ate there. Quite nonsense if you tell me, forcing the customer to pay an additional of RM1.20 for the specially printed box. It felt like we have to pay for their advertisement lol.

The second bao look a bit dry compared to the first one. haha, look at my not-so-healthy dimsum in the background.

Here, bao + loh mai kai = gai wo bao!

The place sells dim sum also and is open for supper.

Restaurant Clan, Sri Petaling.

Lao Sha Bao

Note: This post was originally posted here, but due to the author's fickle mind, it was moved to an old blog, and then copied back here again. So, this is a totally new post and past comments cannot be recovered :)

Last night, I was super hungry, although I just had dinner not too long ago. So, we set out for yam-cha session with another friend, but at the very last minute, she had something else on and couldn't join us, and we were at unfamiliar territory, so we went to the only familiar place we knew.

Restoran Clan.

I went there few days back, for my dinner. It was other people's supper, but my dinner. 12.30am.

The place is apparently famous for it's Chicken Nest Bao, *pics will be updated* and it was by chance they choose to dine there that night. I thought the bao they ordered looked familiar, and that's cause my friend had posted the picture on my facebook wall in the morning. How random is that.... Having someone posting the picture on your wall in the morning and you are there at the restaurant without even knowing its the same one. Get me?

Well, last night, Vernice ordered an extra, Lao Sha Bao, as pictured above. It cost RM2, and its super tiny. Two bites and its gone.

The Chicken Nest Bao cost RM4.80 if you dine there, and RM6 if you take away. Why the huge gap in the price difference? Well, our guess was that they packed the bao in a nicely printed box, and you pay for the box. Maybe I'll do an introduction on the famed Chicken Nest Bao on my next post.

It's 1.55am now, and looking at the picture and writing this post makes me hungry. Nooooo, I can't eat. I have to wake up at 5am today, because I'm going on a triiiippppp!!!
