colourful clay

I saw Play-Doh while in 1U the other day and it immediately brought back reminiscence of all the many playtimes with my sis when we were younger. I lovee Play-Doh! The smell, shaping the clay into our fav food (yes, we've been passionate about food since forever), the many colours! :D

That's me on the left, Sarah on the right.

burgers in lecture.

Our last P3 lecture for the June 2010 exam can be summed up in 3 words- swift and starved.
*conversations might deviate slightly from actual.

Lecturer: *draws map-like diagram* So the McD outlets in South East Asia do not serve pork burgers but you can definitely find them in China. In India, there are no Big Macs but there are mutton burgers and vegetarian burgers.

Fong: Wow there's mutton burgers? I want to try that!

Lecturer: In Japan, they serve teriyaki burgers to cater to that market segment.

Me: What's a teriyaki burger?

Fong: I've tried that. It's rice with burger. Not nice one.

Me: Oh I feel like having teriyaki salmon now! Or any burger. I'm hungry.

Lecturer: So do y'all get regiocentrism now?

Amelia: I'm hungry too!

Lecturer: Companies adapt to customers' tastes/requirements in the different market segments. Hopefully y'all understand?

Fong: Me too la!

Me: Actually I feel like fries now.

Amelia: Ohno don't tempt me la!

*many other voices fill the lecture theatre but none directed to the lecturer*

Lecturer: Okay everybody, stop talking about burgers and concentrate! We don't have much time left! Do you understand regiocentrism? Hopefully.

root bear, vanilla ice-cream, waffles

The GPS brought us around Sunway/Subang before reaching A&W.

On a completely random note, my sister probably has the biggest collection of cute t-shirts. Therefore, I've a new found joy of raiding her wardrobe on those days when I have nothing to wear. And I should add that I've a very generous sister who almost always lets me take anything I want. =:)

The spitter spatter of this post shows the messiness of my brain at this current moment. I'll be back after my mocks. Goobye.

colourful friday

You can tell from my header that colours make me happy. :) (btw, all of this blog's headers so far are powered by Amy Loke Photography) This particular Friday was a colour splash.

Mummy made fruit tarts for the first time! And they were absolutely YUMMmy. Sarah, Joseph, Bekah and I finished them all in one day. :-)

Water War at Connexion Semenyih. I found out I can't catch water balloons. :-/

Thankfully the subsequent rounds did not involve any catching! Throwing/bursting water balloons is pure fun! I mean, who doesn't love playing with water? ;-)

only so many dances

Don't surprise

... delight.

the simplest things

After coming home from class today, I went grocery shopping with mom. I probably never really enjoyed grocery shopping. It always seem like an adult's job to go grocery shopping for the household while the kids wait at an ice-cream place or something that's equal to that. :) Not until last year. Following my mom shopping to help her remember what to buy/push the cart/carry bags has been pretty interesting. I love watching aunties carefully choosing the best goodies from the shelves to bring back for their families, toddlers running around bugging their moms to get them more vitagen/koko krunch, husbands patiently waiting at the end of the aisle with their fully loaded carts.

Today, with cart in tow, I went to hunt for fruits while my mom went off to the wet market section. What I saw after I got the fruits really made me laugh out loud- my mom, along with a few other stranger aunties discussing the different ways to cook the many variety of fishes they were standing by! They were chatting like old friends with big smiles on their faces. :) It felt like some semangat kejiranan story I've read in my moral textbook in secondary school coming alive hahaha. When we were ready to leave, going down the escalator, I saw a tall young malay man holding onto a little chinese girl's hand while her mom tried to keep her cart full of groceries from rolling down. At the end of the escalator, the mom looked back to say terima kasih.

Oh and at the checkout counter, my eyes were drawn to the contents in the basket of a guy in full formal office attire in front of us.

He either has many children or he loves chocolate as much as I do. (:

Yup, who would've thought grocery shopping would've made my Monday hehe. And no, I didn't get my mom to buy me vitagen/koko krunch, but I did have a little treat! Something Fong wouldn't appreciate, cause she dislikes anything berry :P
