I'm back from visiting grandfather's house in Nilai. God, today I felt like a hot mess! (a person who looks as if they've been to hell and back) and I've been listening one too many Air Supply songs.

Sunday today, (no I'm not talking about Nicole & Keith's newborn baby), is sometimes one of the least liked days of my week. It marks the end of a beautiful weekend and then comes the next 5 days of school/work/boredom. I've had a nice week-long holiday though, despite going as far as KL when it comes to traveling. But the good thing was that I went with my best friend, Lilie, who's finally staying here in PJ all the way from Taiping to do 3 of her semesters in PJCAD.

Went to the oh so notorious Petaling Street! Bought an annoyingly yet irresistible blingy stickers, and obviously a couple more counterfeited goods. ;P You tell me which is worse, wearing a Spoofany & Co. bracelet on your wrist or those tens and thousands of countless pirated dvd's piling up near your tv station.

Took quite a number of pictures on my old home. Will blog about it when I have the time. ASAP.

Ta!

Before I continue this next post, I would like to express my condolences to Mr. Guna, a fellow teacher from my old highschool Seafield. When I first got the news (which was a day after the actual event THANKS to Aymann -__- ) I was deeply and utterly surprised. He was a teacher who taught English to Form 5 students I believe. I may not know much about the man but I remember helping him out sorting the student's papers when I was a librarian back when I was Form 2 and he was a good, gentle and kind man. It is a shame that he died tragically. (Won't detailed on about his cause of death, I'm abit superstitious ._____.;; )

I guess perhaps God wanted him abit too soon? Who knows...


Anyhoo, yesterday was mom's beloved birthday. To show her how much we really love her, me and Sof got together and made Lemon Squares!



Messy table. Although the recipe to make it was quite alright. Nothing too fancy like making a souffle or nothing. Lemon squares consist of a lemony filling on top of a crusty biscuit-like base.


We first made the crust.





Then we made the filling.



Then I came up with a dare, "Hey I dare you to drink the lemon juice...!" Mind you that it was FRESHLY SQUEEZED from a real yellow lemon >DDD






Obviously you can tell from our sorry-ass faces of expression. Not to mention...



...I too, took part! D:

As soon as our crust was baked, we then filled in the filling on top of the crust and let to bake for another half an hour~










The result was...okay. I'd say a 5 outta 10 for our rating, consider it was our first try after all. And as for mom? She said it was okay too and added a funny remark,

"At this rate, maybe you guys shouldn't open a bakery store for now... =D "


LoL, and that's why we love her~

Finally, first semester is over and after our previous week of EE's, we Ausmatians finally gotten ourselves a BREAK! Only have one week of holidays though. Not much but better than nothing. I bet most of them are holidaying it up at oversea countries. As for me? I just go to Tanjung Rambutan lah, much more simple ;) Kidding, it's totally fictitious, but of course, I don't think I'll be going anywhere this whole week.

Okay, if it's one thing I don't understand sometimes, its the censorship system in Malaysia. Picture this, I was in the car on the way to my destination and the radio plays the catchy yet controversial song 'I Kissed A Girl' sung by Katy Perry. Any of you who don't know what I'm talking about can view the whole thing here. See? I've even taken the liberty of providing you the video complete with lyrics. Y'all should love me! TwT

Anyhoo, it focuses primarily on the chorus. Being a female singer, she sang like this:

I kissed a girl and I liked it,
The taste of her cherry chapstick,
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it,

You listen to the radio, obviously they would censor the word 'girl' and that's all. BUT! Come on! People are BOUND to find out exactly WHAT they censored or WHO she kissed. And next, you look at the second line, the word 'her' wasn't censored on the radio BUT if I were a stupid teenybopper or tween hearing this song for the first time, God knows I'd figured it out anyhow! What the eff? You might as well not let that song being played on on the radio in the first place! Man...the things they do to get listeners on the radio these days...

Enough with that, I now want to talk about happier things. I've finally gotten myself a book shelf. Thumbs up for me! =D



Before, it used to be this. If you're actually wondering, that's actually a shoe rack. We didn't have much use for it at the time, so I took it. Originally I had a TV placed on top of it but it was of little use to me, hence I removed it.




For a shoe rack, you can put so much more than just a couple pair of sneakers and heels. But of course, one has to have proper furniture in one's room. So we went to Ikea to get my proper book shelf.

Most tiring part of all is the build-up. You know when you buy Ikea products they have simple instructions booklet for you to sort it out? Well, mine took 3-4 hours to complete. Because it's 80 cm tall!.



Nearly done and the kitties have already grown an instant liking to it! =D




Sorry if this picture seems abit tilted. But I'm no Leibovitz, mind you.



Starting from the top most, are ones I've done ready and might probably not read it again perhaps, in the mean time. I've even added my 5 school magazines just for the occasion.




Second shelf are my usual collection of books. You'll find that I am an absolute fan of Roald Dahl and Nicholas Sparks.



Third and middle part of the book shelf. Soon to be filled with crap novelty items like that magic 8 ball, rubiks cube and maybe a plastic slinky soon.




Last three rows are my entertainment items. Bottom most are my animes.

Once upon a time, I was 14 years old and my cousin was at my place and he wanted to watch Ranma 1/2 on AXN channel. I instantly began to take a liking to it. My friends back in Seafield were all anime-crazed and I too joined in the forces. And from that day since, I fell inlove with animes and we sometimes had funny delusional dreams that we were married to some of the male characters in some of the anime. My obsession only lasted 'till my PMR year but it was fun while it lasted. =)

Well, I think I'll stop here now. I know it's been quite some time I last blogged cause I was out and about this whole week. Tune in...
