cONvO PorTR@It =P

K k... Enough emo-ing.. Keep it aside first. Arrival of convo portrait has totally lightened me up. The original digital version is too big a size liao. Have compressed it. See see..

The fake "bookshelf" abit de senget XD

Think they have got the job well done. At least I didn't look that fat lah. Chin sharp sharp like that. Keke.. Chic pox scars also removed liao. =P

Actually the portrait was supposed to arrive in September de loh. Most of my frens already got theirs. So I called Fotorex up yesterday to check if mine was lost on the way. The lady who spoke to me was very aunty lah. Haha.. but she was very nice. She kept apologizing and promised that my portrait would arrive today.

And it really did arrive this afternoon!! A super big pack including a frame!! Hmm.. I remembered paying for the RM90 package leh. Thought there is no complimentary frame? Also hor, there are three 3R-sized photos given as well. Thought the package only includes 2? AND, the portrait was of canvas material wor!! I thought only the RM130 package comes in canvas? Tak paham betul! ?_?

But it's not like I'm unhappy with that lah.. Kakaka.. Untung dao!! XD

Maybe that aunty was abit blur or what. Or maybe she was guilty for the late delivery that's why she gave me a good deal as compensation? Kakaka.. Hmm.. or maybe they are indeed complimentary. Dunno leh.

Anyway hor, I think Fotorex's packages are relatively value for money loh. At least the RM90 one is lah. Unlike the Strathclyde one which is darn freaking expensive and with no frame and NO touch-up loh. Hehe.. So, juniors, if anyone of u is reading this, just go ahead when it's ur turn next year ba!! Unless u have a fren whose family runs photography business like our fabulous Wei Meng Koko lah. Then of course it's much more worthy to close the deal with them. They would definitely charge a lower price and do a better job. Just like our Wei Meng Koko who received excellent review for the Strathclyde convo photoes he did for our batchmates. If Wei Meng Koko offers a deal to u all hor, fai fai accept ah!! Haha.. XD

K lah K lah. Dinner time dy. Hungry. Bye!

HAPPY!!~ =D

OOOHH!!!~~ I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!! Read this...

mY fIRst cHEesEc@kE!!!!!~~~ 2

While makan-ing... XD

i M@dE thESe... =D

Procrastinating... Super not in the mood to study even though Judgement Day brought upon by FMT1 class test will soon arrive in 15 hours time. Yes, I know I am a piece of char siew... Had cheesy pasta again ma just now... Too full liao brain cannot function well also de la... (alasan) XP

Anyway, chua ah ming dengan insulting-nya doubted my cooking skill when we had our PP3 lab session today (during which we should really be discussing about the differences between POM and P medicines)!! OUCH!! So here I am, to prove to her that, I can actually cook lo!!! XP Kekeke... But most of all, just wanna share the recipes and hope to get some feedback if anyone has any nice recipe to recommend... hehehe... =P

-Asparagus and bacon roll-ups-

Got the recipe from brother-in-law. Made it when me

and housemates had our first proper dinner in Glasgow.

Finally not frozen pizza nor fast foods anymore... =P

Cooked the three dishes below when Ganas Voon, Ah Xin and Chua Ah Ming happily went cycling on Isle of Cumbrae. Supposed to be Ganas Voon's and Ah Xin's turn to cook, but didnt wanna tire them out and hoped to get them something nice and hot to eat after one whole day of socializing with the lembuS and kambingS on the island. Ooh.. Am I angelic or what?? Kakaka... XD

-Mashed potatoes- =D

-Cheddar cheese cobb salad-

-Canadian bacon and eggplant roll-ups -

And finally, I made this for Ganas Voon's birthday dinner.

-Yoghurt fried chicken- =D

By the way, ALL my housemates are still alive and none of them has had to spend a night in Roya Infirmary before. Thank Goodness... kakaka... XD

Chua Ah Ming!!!!! This blog post was originally meant to be a sweet and memorable one lo... BUT, after considering the fact that u jatuhkan-ed my image from none to negative 200 with ur blog, and made me utter "Yeeew!!~ Bad taste!!!" right into the face of our dearest Aunty Boyter, this is what it has become:-

So, in resposne to chua ah ming's not-so-intellectual post in her blog, I would like to take this opportunity to stand up for myself, and to reveal her true colour here. Yup.. Finishing tabletting lab 1.5 hours earlier than scheduled was indeed something to celebrate, at least for ppl like us who always kena halau out of the lab by our dearest lab assistant who yearns to go home early lo... And since wearing casual tee and jeans and sneakers beneath our lab coats was something that jakun IMU students like us were never allowed before, chua ah ming and I got super duper excited at our smart-and-gorgeous-post-graduate-research-students look alike appearance (at least we thought we were) that we happily indulged ourselves in a camwhore session in chua ah ming's kitchen (ya, sad case...)

See? We do look like we K-N-O-W something, don't we?

And this is to prove to our papamama that we aren't

just pieces of char siew!! Note that we were actually

FROWNING while reading through British National

Formulary, Medicines, Ethics & Practice and Dorland's

Medical Dictionary. Haih... It's not easy being

a pharmacist afterall... XP

Nerdy look of two knowledgeable(?) Mpharm students

And this was when the poser spirit started going out of control... (>_<")

Yeah!!~ We are simply COOL and IRRESISTABLE!!!
Note chua ah ming's "cool" look... more like "sesat"
I suppose?? XD

Chua Ah Ming proposed for a SASSY look.

I think I scored a 100% for this... =P

chua ah ming? Sigh... "gagal dou mou dak gagal"

Chua Ah Ming's fat hao pose is finally revealed to the world!!

Wakaka... Note the purplish bear-bear socks on her feet.

WAAAH~~ super "sexy" aah!!! XD

And this is the dutch-lady photo I chose lo, chua ah ming!!

Not the 9-months-pregant-milkmaid displayed so

vividly on ur blog lo!!! OUCH!!! T_T

Revenge is S-W-E-E-T, isn't it? Ngek ngek ngek... And Ganas Voon, I hereby forbid u to clap hands while reading this!! Try me and I shall create a post on ur "fairytale" story real soon... Kekeke... Am I evil or what? *wink* XP
