Delete them!

I've this bad habit of keeping things. Good things. Bad things. Beautiful things. Important things. Unimportant things. Things I think I will need next time. Things I eventually forget I've kept....

I have this bad habit of saving a copy of the same file in all the devices I own ~ in my PC, my laptop, my external hard disk, my pen drive... When I make changes to the file, I don't overwrite the original one. Just in case I need to refer to the old version which I rarely do. In the end I forget where I keep the most updated copy T_T

It's PC fair next weekend. I am thinking of buying another external hard disk to store the increasing files that I've. Looking at my bad habit of keeping multiple copies of the same files, I wonder how many more hard disks i will need! Hmm... Maybe I should not buy more HD since I've yet to develop a proper system to keep track of the files I already have. And more space will only make things more complicated...

Was chatting with my IT friend just now. I told him that I'm thinking of getting a 500GB external hard disk. He laughed at me HARD. For being so outdated! He has two 500GB external hard disks which he is thinking of throwing away coz they are now too old and too 'small' for his consumption. Oh good! He can certainly throw those 2 HDs to me. One person's trash can be someone else's treasure! How true is that!

HA! I wonder how he would react if i told him that I'm still using my 180GB external hard disk....

Time to delete those unwanted files............

Busy busy like a bee

Last weekend was full of actions for me... lots of food, lots of fun and lots of people wanted a piece of me! OOoo... it felt so good to be in high demand hiak hiak hiak....

I wasn't the VIP, although i should be because i was the birthday star! The VIPs were my sister who returned from Paris for a short 2 day stay (she is still on the plane to Paris as I'm typing.. poor thing) and my buddy who came visit me only once in a purple (her fav colour) moon. A good friend of mine also returned from KL for the weekend. We didn't manage to meet up because by the time i had time for her, she was already on the way to airport! *Opppsi*

Then, I also rejected a party invitation for Saturday night... I just hope that i won't be "de-listed" from their party list next time since this is the 2nd time I rejected them. Haizzz... now i know how celebrities live and feel!!

Sis brought back goodies from Paris. I can't afford to visit her in Paris so she brought Paris back. Tada...

Cheese & chocolate from Paris and nougats from Spain

It's nice having siblings around the world. But that also means, we only get to see each other once a year and having everybody together in one place is impossible... When is the last time all of us gathered together ah? When I was in primary school i think....

I feel bluer today compared to other Mondays coz everyone left me yesterday :( I think the fact that Jane's leaving HK permanently today also made me feel a little bit sad too coz that means the next time she comes home, I won't get any of my favourite pineapple buns from HK anymore, even a pancake-like one :((

The dark clouds got blown away fast and rainbows come out after rain. I feel wonderful right now! In fact, i feel colourful (how confusing!?) right now because I made friends with 12 colourful friends last weekend. They really bring big big smile to me!

Cute or not?

Jane or Jenn 傻傻分不清楚

Not long ago, i complained abt the painful process I endured to get my hair permed. 4 months later, I willingly tortured myself again andwent thru same painful process. Mannn... Looking decent really requires a lot of time, effort and money huh? Oh well, what to do? Like the wise one said "No Pain No Gain".

Am very happy with the end result. At least this time, my friends and colleagues noticed the change in my hair without having to get their eyes checked :P

shorter & curlier

One problem though. People keep mistaken me for Jane...

It's good coz that means i could do bad things and not get my own name spoilt! Cool!!

Eat, Sleep, Play in Siem Reap!

I've been wanting to visit Siem Reap since my return from Hanoi in 2008. So when Red Bird offered cheap fares earlier this year, I got my airfare! Yahooo!

The airfare wasn't exactly cheap when i bought it. You see, the website was darn congested as 53253492049 people around the world were fighting to get the bargains. All i got was error messages! Darn wasting my time and energy so I left the crazy war. By the time I finally managed to get it, the cheap cheap fares were already not cheap.......

That explains why i'm never able to grab any free or cheap cheap fares. I'just don't have the patience like others to spend HOURS in front of the computer or laptop trying my lousy luck. Also, I'm a busy person. I don't have that kind of spare time :P Oh wells, at least this SR airfare is the cheapest overseas airfare I've ever bought from Red Bird * content*

Yayee... Am going to see Angkor Wat with my own eyes. Touch it with my hands! Climb it with my feet! Oooo, so looking forward to it! How much? So much that I even started liaising with a tour guide in Siem Reap half a year before the actual trip! Can u feel my enthusiasm? haha...

Today is the day the tour guide will bring us to see sunset in Angkor Wat. I've heard how beautiful sunset and sunrise are at Angkor Wat. While my friends and other tourists are busy climbing around trying to find the best spot to admire the beauty... I just sit at home IMAGINING it with my great mind!


WHY?!

Because I'm not there in Siem Reap! I'm here. Yes! I donated my hard earned, blood & sweat money to Red Bird, AGAIN. WHY? Because I'm feeling generous! haha...

Oh wells... That's life... Nothing is certain even with proper planning. NVM. I can be happy no matter where I'm. And I'm happy to be home as no place beats home! Right?

The Sunset i miss

FINALLY!!!

I'm indeed the Queen of Procrastination. After 2 yrs of delay, I finally did what i was supposed to do loOOOoong ago.

Guess what? I just enrolled myself to do my lOOoooong outstanding exam! I don't have a great feeling about it. I'm willing to WASTE myhard-earned blood & sweat money because I only have 2 choices ~ tore-do all other papers which I'd passed or 'buy' more time. As u cansee, I chose the latter, simply because I don't wanna miss the 2 yrdeadline and repeat all units! I would never ever complete mystudies with my tortoise speed if I'd to restart from scratch! umm.. isthe word 'speed' even appropriate ah? haha~~

I was just being informed that they will need 2-3 weeks to process myexam registration. @&*$!$# SOOoooo long?! Gosh, my deadline for the examis December 2010! That's only 5 weeks away! Hope i could make it in time *cold sweat*

My textbook which i bought 2 yrs ago still looks brand new simplybecause it has not been touched. Maybe not very brand new coz there aredust and spider webs all over it. It has been a decoration on my desk allthis while and sometimes as a coaster, for my cup of tea. Poor book....
I don't have time to study for my exam anymore. What i gotta do now isto learn how to aim properly coz that's one important skill if i want to'shoot the CORRECT bird'.

Wish me luck! My Law lecturer used to say to us that 'luck has v littleto do with it'. Errr... thanks for breaking my illusion, Mr lecturer!

Anyway, I will still keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best! Now,that's the positive attitude i need!

Look and smell bad. How abt the taste?

Guess what this is?

Some weird Chinese wine from China? Hehehe..... Nope. It's homemade fermented bean curds (腐乳） from Taiwan. A friend gave it to me coz she said this is the best fermented beancurds she has ever eaten in her life. 酱厉害？！ Is she exaggerating or not? I gotta try, to confirm.........

When she digged out a piece from the bottle for me to eat, wah, I kept refilling my rice bowls! I ate FIVE bowls of rice! FIVE!! I can't believe that I ate that many bowls in one time! True to my friend's words, the beancurd is darn YUMMY! The best I've ever had in my life too! Got wine taste and very creamy! 真的很下饭呐！

这样下去，我不变饭桶也不行了。。。 哈哈～

Strange strange place

I'm feeling particularly blue today. It must be because of the dark, gloomy, rainy weather outside. How i wish I were at home hiding beneath my warm & cozy blanket & dreaming away! *ZZZzz* Another weekend just came and went. Somehow, time flies during weekend! WHY?!

Had dinner with my long lost friend at the weekend. WW and I were in the mood to be adventurous. We wanted to try 'new' food. New as in both of us have never been before. Although we were starving like mad, we still willingly crossed the deep sea and high mountains to get to a place far far away. We heard from someone that it makes different food. Mannnn, this person better be right!!

The place looked quite filled up from the outside. That's a good sign because crowds usually means good food. Ooo, i can't wait to try! But that eagerness soon vanished when we entered the shop.

Why is it dark inside? I guess the owner probably wanted to conserve energy because the brightness came from the lights at the corridor. NVM. It's good for Earth. As long as we can see what we are eating, I don't care...

Then the ladyboss came to our table and sat down with us. WW and I were waiting for her to introduce their famous dishes but instead, she sat back at the chair lazily not saying a word.

Weird. Has she worked too much that all she wanted to do is rest? Or is she being forced to give up her Saturday night to help out in theshop? Coz she sure didn't look like she wanted to do business. Or maybe because WW & I are 'small fish' so she didn't see why she had to spend her energy to entertain us.

WW broke the silence first and did what any first comer would do and asked for some recommendations. The lady, still v relaxed in her chair said "鱼囉，虾囉，肉囉 （fish, prawn. meat)". She stopped there. Har? Is that all? Such general menu ah? So we asked for more. She replied "菜囉， 鱼囉，虾囉，肉囉 （veggie, fish, prawn, meat)" Full stop again. Err.. what's up with her ah? Then we asked her if there is any non-seafood dish? She replied "雞囉，猪囉，牛囉 (chicken, pork, beef)". I was falling asleep as she went thru her menu, if it was even one *Zzzz* It's indeed different, just like the person said but different experience, not different food. Funny....

ooo, guess what? I'm having ginger milk tea tarik right now. A perfect drink on this cold, gloomy weather.

Instead of keeping my hot take-away milk tea in a plastic cup, i got him to put inside my thermo cup. Such good idea coz it's still warm when i reached office. Somemore I saved a few trees by avoiding plastic cup and also avoid cancer! One stone kill 3 birds. So clever of me! hehe...
