Look what I've found!

or more like what kenny sia's found. Gay blog! Quite disgusting but interesting to read what the both of them have to say to each other and how they talk about their dates and all.

Click here.

Check it out!

I was curious...

..so i Yahoo-ed on ' medical benefits of eating seahorses'...and this is what i came up with :

Seahorse Medicine
A report from Oxford University says that the seahorse population in the Indo-Pacific region has fallen by 50 percent in the last five years because of increased harvesting for medicinal purposes. More than 20 million seahorses are used each year for their purported medical benefits in conditions such as asthma and heart disease. They're also included in the list of creatures and substances said to have aphrodisiac properties. Seahorses are in especially high demand in China and Hong Kong, where one kilogram can sell for as much as $1,200.4

Then as i continue to read on the page..i found this :

Tall People Live Longer
At a meeting of the British Congress of Gerontology recently, a Southampton researcher outlined his research that showed a strong link between height and longevity. Some studies, he says, show that an eight-inch height difference in adult women can translate into half the mortality. However, excessively tall men seem to lose the advantage (nyahahhha..hint hint). One explanation is that healthy children grow taller and have a long-lasting edge on their less- fortunate peers.

Btw, i watched Gubra today, IT IS DAMN GOOD MAN!...You all should definitely watch it..and hurry..screening ends on May 6tH!..


Here's the jar of seahorses i was talking about

H.K baybey

I know it wasn’t my first time to HK but every trip is an experience and I’d like to share this one here. Was pretty happy since HK is like the fashion capital of Asia & couldn’t wait to shop! Upon arrival, dad & I put our luggage in the hotel and straight away took the train from Sha Tsui to Mong Kok – the teenagers hangout place. Train makes KL train system seem like a snail. First thing I noticed was that the in thing there is big hair. Almost everyone has dyed hair and if it’s natural black, it’ll most definitely be permed. Saw that there were lots of HK movies we don’t see aired in KL cinemas – 1 thing I’m thankful for otherwise we’d have to face a lot more movies like Mahjong Master. Shopping was good, managed to pick up some nice things but stuff there very mahal oo.. Prefer shopping in Taiwan. Ate Kim Gary style for breakfast almost everyday & now im addicted to their milk tea. First time I really like a caffeinated drink. This is an example of what’s on the menu:


You know how McDonalds in different countries have slightly different menus? Well in HK they have this burger where instead of the bun, the meat patty is wedged between two rice crackers. But the rice crackers get kinda soggy and then it just tastes like rice. First night we ate at a small restaurant and there was a desert on the menu called Osamantha cake with golden foil in Shanghai style. Interesting.. Went to one of those Chinese herbal shops which sell mushrooms and scallops to buy back for my mum when I nearly had a heart attack. Saw big jars full of SEAHORSES! My gawd.. Ppl actually eat those? Looked around properly after that and also saw snake skins and starfish. Guess the saying is true: Chinese eat everything that moves under the sun. But not us right? We are civilized ppl :D

On the 2nd day it was my 1st time setting foot in the homeland of our ancestors! And guess what. I don’t like it =p Glad my horny grandma ran away to Msia. It's so noisy and busy and dirty. It is also official: Camwhoring/capturing is a worldwide phenomena. Saw these 2 girls totally into it at the train station. So into it that when the train came, they were still posing and only squealed and ran through the doors at the last moment. Swt… Attended a trade fair where dad had to do his work bla bla..

I thought I knew many brands until I went to this exclusive area where only branded goods were sold. Some I’d never even heard of before till then like a.testoni, Hogan and Bottega Veneta. Some, I knew of but had never been to since they will never open in Malaysia such as Vivian Westwood, Yves Saint Lauren and Loewe. But the cheapest thing there is 3000HK dollars which is like RM1500 so we could only stare and long. So depressing right.. Also saw Jessica Simpson - the brand. Bloody ex also.. Who she think she is.. Worthy to be designer-wear already?

That night my dad brought me to a famous club called Dragon-i. When he first told me where we were going I thought it was Dragon’s Eye. Anyway, it was very trendy. Everything was in red and black. Another not so good thing bout HK is the price of alchohol. A cocktail there is double the price of one here since import and rent is very ex. There were these group of models just chilling out at the bar, dem pretty and leng zhai and FRIGGIN TALL.

Accompanied dad to another trade fair on HK island on the 3rd morning as he had a meeting with Italian glass factory people. Was a world of difference compared to China. Very classy & organized whereas China’s had been cheapy & messy. Another thing I wont easily forget happened on the morning I was coming back. The bus company was sending some people to Disneyland before dropping us off at the airport and their tour guide was just weird. Quote weird tour guide:
“Disneyland have many many nice characters! Like Snow White. Sometimes is American Snow White, sometimes is oriental Snow White. *Naughty smile* But I like oriental Snow White. Hahaha.” *Seems proud of himself*
*Forced laughter coming frm around the bus*
I felt so embarrassed for him I just covered my face wit my jacket.


Unis.Unis.Unis.

shucks. University already!?sigh.help ppl. Im thinking of University College London, King's College London, Bristol, Nottingham for law la. shitness.haha

is it wrong to want to go to the same university as Nigel ar.crappiness.maybe im being too clingy.hmm.

ok. the stats. UCL, and KCL are in London. and im not sure i want to give up the dream of the "sit on grass and study" lifestyle that all the movies show.hahaha. London no trees la. And very hectic. But ive kinda warmed up to the London style. u know...like the UK-fied PAris Hilton.hahaha sorrie Istee. im being a wannabe Istee Hilton...muaHAhahahAh!

But then again, true blue uni life INVOLVES trees and grass laaa...and boats...and quaint castles and u know...the stuff that ive always liked about uk..the medieval-ness of the building structure.

Here comes the cruncher. ALL UNIS MENTIONED ABOVE NEED AT LEAST AAA-AAB GRADE to get in. i damn scared i don make the grade weiii. Im not worried about extra curricular la.cuz i got my student council.but.haha..n there Nigel's mom n my mom are like..why bdont you both try for Cambridge for LAw. im like.SIAO.imagine. Lim En-Li. Cambridge Law Graduate.hmm.doesnt look so bad after all.but can or not waaaaaaan.

Am i aiming too high ar?ioshk.i scared tht i think i can do it but actually i cant...so..help guys.

question 1: do you think im just going to the unis above cz nigel sed he wanted to go?(cuz it so happens tht he also wants to do law in all the same places) -hmm.luckily he is also doing law.so ther's no conflict of interest there la.

question 2: all the unis up there are in the top 10. question is.can i make it ar.shitness.i dowanna aim too high.be honest.

question 3: city life? Campus life with trees and grass?

hurry hurry hurry.gotta make my decision.

Cap had her first pedi. With me!

As Shann was saying...

AKU LULUS!!! Yipeee! It's part kopi-o licence but it's still a licence okaay... Hahaha.. I shall blab now.

Mr Yap brought me to the driving place along with 2 other ppl. I made friends with one of them - an ah lian girl with really big eyes. She shook my hand while we were waiting and introduced herself but i didnt catch it cause her accent was weird so she pointed at her bracellet and i finally went, "Oooh!! Crystal is it?" Lol. I introduced myself as Sam, something simple so I wouldnt have to hear anything like Sa-man-taaa. I tried to comprehend her chinese but it didnt work, and she couldnt understand a word i was saying either so we ended up converesing in BM. Like, how sad is that. Funny how BM does help in some occasions. She asked if i was Chinese or mix (???) and when i asked her how many hours of driving did she learn she replied, "Pukul enam" (-_-"). That aside, she was really nice and sweet. The other person was a skinny Malay dude with a ponytail & moustache. Amir i think.

Anyway, I started with the road test which was weird cause most ppl start with the bukit & all. The examiners all look the same i swear. Fat, moustached, and sunglasses. Totally impossible to tell them apart. And there was also 1 lady examiner who looked like the rest. No need to elaborate. I checked everything except for gear bebas and i didnt hear the guy say jalan so went i asked him, "Boleh saya jalan?" he was a total bitch. He like sighed really loudly and said, "Saya sudah kata jalan, kenapa tak jalan?!" So i jalan. And he nagged occasionally. I went furthur than Kok Shen but not that far. When he thought it was safe he told me to u-turn quickly ("Cepat cepat! Tekan minyak!"). Waited quite long for the 2nd part and the sign, 'Bersabar Menunggu Giliran Anda' at the seating area didnt really help.

Bukit was the scariest for me cause i saw so many ppl fail no matter how hard they press the oil. Dem kesian okay.. But THANK GOD i made it. Parking & pusingan 3-penjuru were flawless. I finished quite early, before 12! Crystal failed her bukit but she gave extra to cover up and therefore passed. Goodness knows what happened to Amir.

Sam passed her driving test!!!

And I'm the first to know!!!

*turns around and shows her gigantic bum to the rest*

Love you guys

Finally! =D

After years and years of pestering my parents to no avail and getting replies like "u need to concentrate on ur studies'' or ''it would affect ur studies'' or ''u'd definitely neglect ur studies'' (yea...it's usually all about the books =.=) or ''u'd be glued to it 24/7, n that would be all u'd ever do'' or ''wad for? u dun even need it, we've already got a desktop at home'' or just a simple plain ''no''...i finally got a laptop of my own! yipee yipee...YIPEE!!! =D

*Jumps around like a mad woman*

Muahahaha =p

Night of the Stars

Was halfway uploading the pics here when I finally figured out how to use photobucket for other than viewing photos =D Hahahaha! So I shall upload the goofy pics here while the rest are there, alright? Cheerios! Missing you all like hell.

Blue Lagoon

Blue Hawaii

Like, what's with all the celebrities?


My all-time favourite celebrity - ISTEE HILTON!!! I'm such a die-hard fan.

Possessive too.

Istee Hilton & James Wong. The ultimate collaboration of style.

Ambush the stars!


Btw, that day the manager was supposed to give us a free round of cocktails but he forgot! Cause my dad supplies to Souled Out and all the glasses we were using that day were from him! He wanted to surprise us and today he asked me if anything happened but I guess the guy forgot so my dad got all pissy and said he was gonna scold the guy. Lol.. Poor dude. Met him before, skinny Indian guy called David Lopez. But I still feel cheated! Lets go back again.

Gan's (VERY belated) bday pics
