The big 2enty and 4

Let's go with categories.

First, food. =D

The long weekend home.

Supper the night before the special day

with Caroline, Eric, Quachee and another Eric (I have no idea how to spell their names. =X)

Durian buffet!!

Caroline went karaoke session with me after that,

which mean she's the only one who was there when I officially turned 24.

Birthday breakfast

Jambu air from the half way stop.

Photobombed by toes.

Birthday dinner

Forgot what is this

but it's beef and rice in AutoCity.

And my favourite. =)

Can I hear a grrrrrrr from ze stomach?

This is actually breakfast for the next day,

but I love this a lot and it's not popular in KL. =(

Dimsum with the skinny gang before I came back.

Can you believe that among that group of friends,

I'm the fattest?

If you've seen my in real life,

you would be amazed. Or not.

Next,

presents.

Bag from mom coz she can't stand

seeing me holding my bag together with a wire.

So this was what my old bag looked like.

I love this bag so much that I didn't want to throw it away.

It's the right size and not too girlish nor boyish.

It's the perfect bag,

but then it fell apart.

=(

But well I have something similar now,

but you know there's always something that you can never replace.

Present from older sis.

What I asked for.

Well I asked for a P!nk CD, not this particular one,

but this is great!!

Blasting while writing this post!!

P!nk FTW!! wooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Birthday present from Jo. (younger sis)

#truestory

How practical. 

Present from Dawn ze best friend since highschool. =)

Handmade card and earrings!!

Birthday present from Sam.a.k.a. moi-meme

My first camera.

24 and I finally have a camera of my own.

=)

Oh there's the polaroid but it's just different.

Then,

the camwhore collage.

Since my last birthday, I:

1. Started work

2. Became more active in blogging

3. Improved makeup skills

4. Got extensions

5. Broke a heart and karma was a bitch

6. Finally get to drive around and thus cursing level increased

7. Helped support a child from Vietnam

8. Found a great group of friends (You bloggers rock!!)

9. Grew wiser. Seriously. Just a little.

10. Found someone who has the same birthday as I!! Wooohoooooooo!! Happy birthday too Luke!!

Ok, more stuff happened but these are the first 10 that popped up so there you go.

So here's 5 more.

11. Got my first Valentine present and my first bouquet of flowers. (Yes, after 23 years, finally)

12. Got thinner. =/

13. Cured my obsession for shoes

14. Got free stuff and services from blogging.

15. Went to club for the first time (Yes, after 23 years. People don't believe me when I tell them that. T^T)

It's not too late to give presents and "surprise parties" yet. No pranks or throwing into pools.

Remember, karma is a bitch only if you are one.

And I had to wait to my birthday to realize that I have a good life after all.

Despite all the ups and downs,

when my friend asked me what I wanted for my birthday,

I can't think of anything. other than a boyfriend and never ending supply of money

It means I'm actually more blessed that I always thought. =)

Thanks to everyone who came and left in this 1 year,

your presence gave me new experiences no matter how short the time.

Thanks to everyone who've helped me.

And finally

thanks to mom and dad (mom especially coz she did more work) for bringing me into this world.

Not even sorry for the long post.

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. I proved that ppl don't remember your birthday unless it's on Facebook. Only the ones who really care will remember. =) Thanks for everyone who wished me.

The Food Tree Ramadhan Buffet

The Food Tree under OWG

will be having a Ramadhan Buffet

from 23 July till 17 August.

 I was lucky enough to get the chance

to be among the first few groups of people to try it.

Here are some of the food offered.

 The menu for that night

The drinks were interesting.

Honey cucumber

As someone who doesn't like cucumber,

I liked this.

It's something like honey lemonade with very thin cucumber slices (the green floaters)

 Jumbo herbs.

The original size of this is huge.

It's about 1L.

I didn't like the taste of this.

It's a little too eccentric for my taste.

There's a mix of lychee, sour plum, mint leaves,

and lemon grass.

Singapore Chilli Crab

The crab was on the spicy side, but meat was abundant.

The sauce is sweet and spicy yummy.

Mutton Rogan Josh.

Middle eastern style.

The cook worked in the middle east before,

and he decided to bring the taste here.

Mutton cooked right.

It's soft and not chewy. 

Toothless friendly.

 Tandoori chicken

which was spicy and slightly dry.

This was interesting.

It was stuffed with kiwi paste.

 Halal soup dumplings

a.k.a xiu long bao.

It's filled with chicken meat,

but taste just as nice as the original ones.

Chef gave a live demonstration on how to make Beng-pei mooncake

 The durian pancake is a must-try if you love durian.

It's very soft

and the taste is just mmmmmmmm.

Two layers of durian goodness.

I was too busy enjoying my favourite dish I forgot to take pictures of it.

The balitong a.k.a Siput Sedut,

Negeri Sembilan style.

You need skills to eat that,

but if skills is what you have,

you'll get a great taste of green chilli and belacan.

The pictures above are just a fraction of what you will find there.

The food changes and rotates everyday,

so you won't get the exact same thing even if you went

two days in a row.

The food comes from an international menu,

meaning you'll get food from local traditional Malay cuisines

to Japanese cuisines.

The buffet is RM78.90 for adults

and RM39.45 for children 5-12 years young 

and senior citizens (above 60 years old)

Children below 4 eat for free!

Location:

10, Jalan Pelukis U1/46, Section U1,

Temasya Industrial Park,

40150 Shah Alam, Selangor.

The place is situated among factories.

If you see Peugeot and Honda,

you're really near.

It's just along that road.

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

The truth behind the half-lies

I have something to announce.

Contrary to popular belief,
I'm single and have been single for the past few months.

I know we look fine,
but we've just been friends fine.

I've been holding on,
not telling everyone because of 2 reasons:
1. I hate answering questions.
2. I was silly enough to hope that things will still work out someday, that I can overlook this dark part of history and everything will go on as usual, without anyone but us knowing about it.

If you ask me questions and expect answers at once,
you should be prepared to be ignored.
If you call,
you will be ignored. No matter who you are.

I will answer your questions when I want to.
Don't bother me.
No matter who you are.

Don't need to spread the news.
Only those who care enough to read this post shall know.

I hope none of us will be bothered by your questions.

I didn't mean to lie,
I just didn't tell the whole truth,
because I still hoped.


All hope is lost.

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~
p.s. Happy would be 4th month-versary.

The Amazing Spider-Man

Yes I've watched it.

Before you watch it,
please put aside your memories from the past Spider-Man films
because one would tend to compare,
and difference comes in an abundance,
if you just insist on comparing it to the most recent 3 movies.

It was hard to watch because of technical issues.
I hope it's just for our screening coz
if not
a lot of people will go home feeling like they need (new) specs.
Half of the screen was blurry during half of the movie.

Movie started slow because they have to redefine Peter Parker's history.
The Amazing Spider-Man has a new story for Peter Parker.

I think the new Spider-Man is closer to the comic version,
because well he's more witty.

Unlike the old Spider-Man,
he talks, is carcastic, (and jokes) more.
The old Spider-Man is just so sad and pathetic.

There aren't a lot of LOL moments,
but this is not a comedy, and you do get an occasional snigger.

It's not action packed, but it doesn't lack action either.

The Amazing Spider-Man goes into more detailed life of Peter Parker,
and you'll see more interaction between the characters
and a better developed storyline.

Like all movies there are slow and fast parts,
and I think they have a balance in this film.

Stan Lee totally stole one whole scene. =)

I would recommend it,
but do put your logical mind aside,
and put your old perception of Spider-Man next to your logic,
and you'll be able to enjoy it.

Unless you hate lizards.
Did you know that the villain in this movie is a
human-turned-oversized-but-way-smaller-than-dinosaur-lizard?

It's coming out this Thursday,
so before that,
watch all the trailer!!

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir!

Oh,
and there's a few awkward parts when Peter Parker and the oh so pretty Gwen Stacy start to make out,
made more awkward when the couple next to me was super lovey-dovey,
and I'm sitting next to a dude who I just met.

How to annoy your colleagues

 Because your opinion is very important and everyone should hear it.

IT SHOULD BE CAPS LOCK DAY EVERYDAY!!

* I just hate loud noisy people in general

 Because you care for your colleagues so much

you have to know what they're doing.

 Because sharing is caring

Because they should listen to your ringtone.

Everyone loves loud ringtones

Because girls just LOVE to be harassed.

and 

Because not answering is rude.

Because I was bored

and annoyed.

If there are other ways your colleagues annoy you,

SHARE THEM IN THE COMMENTS!!

That's what J_Fish has to say~ AU REVOIR!!

P.S. Wanted to change it up a little so decided to draw instead. =D

You can see that they're pictures instead of computer drawn.

Coz I dunno how and am too lazy to find how how comic bloggers actually draw their comic.

Here's my pic so that you didn't visit in vain. 

I lied.
