Belated Merry Christmas!!

Ho! ho! ho! says the old man in the red suit, riding on his sleigh on night of christmas eve, climbing in through the chimneys and giving out presents to those who have been nice. So have you been good this year? 

A long christmas weekend which I spent in Penang this year. I haven't been doing much besides relaxing, squeezing into crowds and shopping. I spent my christmas eve having dinner at Paddington, in Queenbay followed by Sakae Sushi after that. There isn't any countdown event in Queenbay, we just hanged around till bout 11pm and a little tired and just countdown by ourselves at home looking at fireworks from the window. 

On christmas, Agnes and I planned to go Queensbay for shopping but the crowd and queue of cars were horrendous. I couldn't believe that almost all the parking around Queensbay were FULL. Some even waited for cars to leave. We could not. So we ended up in PISA as they were having some mega sales by Metrojaya. Clothings for men, ladies, kids, kitchenware, handbags, cosmetics and lots more. We ended up looking for cheap bargains as CNY is just around the corner. After shopping for almost 3 or 4 hours, we finally satisfied with what we've in hand. I couldn't believe myself when the cashier total up everything. It's almost RM250. I guess this is the first time ever I shopped this much. Hmm. I did had quite a lot stuffs though. It's quite reasonable with the amount of items I had though. Just not used to have such large amount while shopping. Hehe. 2 Tshirts, 2 s/s shirts, belt, pillow, jeans, and I guess the rest were all Agn's cosmetics. I know I shouldn't have spent so much but i guess a little too late. I think I've completed my CNY shopping. So I'll stop my shopping spree for the time being at least. 

I guess Christmas this year is just shopping shopping and more shopping. I'm tired.. after so many days of shopping. hehe. Enuf of longwinded stories. Just wan to wish all my friends and family a very Merry Christmas!!!

Counting down to the new year...

Winter Solstice Festival!!

As the end of the year gets nearer, its time for festivals again. First comes the Winter Solstice, followed by Christmas and New Year. I'm not sure when is the exact date but I'm sure it's around within these few days. You'll be able to see Tong Yuen being sold everywhere. Nice nice. And they come with a variety of colours, sizes and taste.

I've decided to do my own Tong yuen. It isn't that difficult though. Just need some effort and time. It's pretty simple and you can make it to your own liking. I went google some recipe for this and I've found out that there are actually various type of tong yuen that can be made. Different style of cooking. It could be sweet, salty, hot, cold, wet or dry. I've decided to make the sweet ones as i'm more used to it than other types. All you need is just glutinous rice flour + water for the dough and some colouring, and for the syrup it'll be brown sugar or gula melaka ( preferably ) + ginger + pandan leaves. 1kg of glutinous rice flour i bought. I did it at Agnes' place where few of her friends all came over and join in the fun. We even decided to make some with fillings. And we had, peanut butter, ground peanuts, sweet corn, kidney bean, and even wasabi nuts? Haha. For the 'lucky' ones.

For dinner, it was kinda spontaneous, as it was lucky that Yin was in the island and so I tumpang her car back. So we manage to join Ryan, GY, YY, YKen for dinner at Tambun just to celebrate Dong Zhi.

These ends the one month holiday and will officially have classes tomorrow at 9am. Looking forward to Christmas.

p/s : will try to post more photos next time since Flickrs just got BLOCKED in campus... @#$%@!@#$%!@#$%..

Another break from work

Life at home is just great. Hehe.. no work, no stress, just relax. Too bad it's just gonna last till mon. Will be back in campus on tuesday. FYP was also stressing me out like i said earlier. Supervisor already warned us to complete 95% of most work this holiday. So I guess that really meant business. Gotta get things going and running. Anyway i'll have till tues before i start to trouble about it. hehe.
Back home been lazing at home. Din't really go anywhere. Probably I'm just too lazy. Oops. But I did met up with some of them though. The usual few, not many of them but just a handful.
Went out shooting with Ryan, lepaking and dotaing with the guys, met up with Boon, went for wedding dinner of Rajesh's sis, saw a bunch of ppl there. Besides that I'm pretty much at home lazing around enjoying the nice weather for hibernating. Hehe. And lazing is not the only reason of me stuck at home, but the massive jam in town that kept me away from those hot spots which is no where else to go but home.

Work Work Work!

Life is getting repetitive lately. Lots of work load waiting to be done. I wished I can split myself into more of ME. & having unlimited time for me to do more work. Moreover I'm going back this weekend. Happy I am. But that means that I'll have lesser working time which is not too good for my works. But I can't not go home. I can't not have rest. Haha. Work is work. Going home is still a must. So I'll need to speed things up a little.

Project approaching due date. Done, redo, over and over again to a point that some things seems to begin from zero. Probably partly due to bad planning. Maybe partly due to under specifications of components provided to us. Probably due to taken things for granted. Too much of possibilities or I should say excuses. By hook or by crook things need to get done and working. Arms we have broken a few, and so does cutting up bodies. Making things complex probably isn't helping much. But the best solution might just be simplest one.

FYP is another part of my workload. Probably I'll write about it tomorrow. Bedtime. zzz.
