For me, there is one thing I miss the most: cappuccino cookies.

It is a routine whereby my dad will bring us to visit his ex-boss during cny. This is how we fall in love with this yummilicious cookies. The ex-boss wife is kind enough to order it purposely for us each year. My entire family love it so much.

However the one she bought for us this year is not the one we like.

Disappointed... I miss it so much...

new sem

5th Jan 2009, the beginning of my new semester. I thought it will a simple meeting with academic advisor and followed up by bakery class with Mr Fami (i wish someone else).

My wish was fulfilled as Mr Mike Flemming form Cereal Tech Pte Ltd, Singapore was here to teach us bakery. I had heard about him since my first semester. Hehe...so excited.

Least the I realise it was like an intensive class for a week and we will be examined on sat. Omg... It reminded me of PMR, SPM and even STPM. The week before examination will only be seminars, seminars and seminars. Terrible time. Haha...

So for the whole week we were dealing with bread, bread and bread. I'm not a fan of bread but I was forced to tuck those carb into my stomach everyday. Luckily the last two classes was on croissant, danish and short pastry. The croissants and quiche really gave me a kick to my taste palette. Yummilicious.... I am craving for more croissants.

This semester is a really a mess. I am having 7 subjects in a short sem, which mean I will be having two classes of each subject in a week. For me it is too hectic as I was spoilt by last sem, 3 subjects for a long sem. In another words, I don't have time to work. This equal to no money to sing k, shopping ......... and where I find money for my petrol?

Did I mention I drive to college? Yup. I start to drive to KDU. It is scary because I am not skillful enough and I am driving alone, without Uncle Chow.

ps. I am praying hard for no accident as I no longer work. Lets not forget to pray for more angpau (money, not the envelope). I need to pay petrol ma...

i miss u...

Tomorrow I am waiting for is finally arrived. I had been waiting desperately for 5th January 2009 to arrive. This is the day for schools to reopen. So I can have some peace in this house.

Sadly I forgotten that my class commence at the same time and Uncle Chow is returning to UPM too... (T.T)

Finally he went back to UPM and I feel so sad to depart with him. You might think I am too much. UPM is just at Serdang. Couple of miles from KL. I can easily reach there by KTM or perhaps drive there? But what matters to me now is not distance.

Love grows out of chance...

Meeting a mere glance and then a smile...

Touches the heart in many ways!

Isn't it incredible how we have been?

From being perfect strangers,

To whom we're today,

Perfect couple in complete harmony,

With each other's thoughts, dreams and plans...

Your love isn't a big thing,

It is a million little things,

You gave me reason...

to smile,

to dream,

to be happy,

You really mean a lot to me...

It must be telepathy...

For whenever...

I'm down and blue...

You bring on the sun,

And lift my spirits,

A shoulder to lean on,

An all-weather shelter,

Anytime, day or night...

May Year 2009 Brings Me Lots Of Luck & Happiness....

Year 2008 had finally ended. The year started out pretty hard while my last few months were filled with exciting days of both work and personal. Over the holiday season last December I had great time with Uncle Chow. In fact I am in such a good mood to start 2009 with a fresh list of new year resolutions! Here goes...

#1 Balance out my time. Must make a bigger fraction of time for my grandma and god family. Had been giving lesser attention to them last year. Lets not to forget my friends too.

#2 Eat healthier. Used to limit my carb intake and replace it with higher intake of protein. I hardly notice I had tucked in more saturated fats in my body. Perhaps more veggies and fruits??

#3 Fight the bulge. Had been crawling under my mattress for weeks. It's time to expose to more sunlight. Hopefully by work out more I can reduce few inches from my butt.

#4 Learn mandarin. Said that million of times. Maybe 2009 bring me determination.

#5 Be a better driver. No accident please.

#6 Polish my pastry skills. "Leslie wait for me!!" Haha...

2009, here I come....
