Coffee is good to go!

Yes, I'm a coffee addict. I love White Coffee. I love Nescafe. I love to go to Starbucks and Coffee Bean. I drink Kopi Susu practically every morning. The aroma of the coffee (Mmm!). A day without coffee could wipe me out flat on the floor! Conservative, traditional and old-school people might say, coffee is bad for health and bla bla bla. The list goes on and on and on...

Scientifically speaking, coffee is not bad for health after all!

I came across this e-mail in my inbox, "9 Reasons to Drink More Coffee".

1. It helps you shed pounds - People who drank more metabolism-firing caffieine gained less weight over 12 years than those who cut back on coffee.

2. It power your workouts

3. It helps you wake up freshed - Drinking a cup of coffee before taking a 15-30 minutes catnap can leave you alert and rested after waking up.

4. It can ward off illness - Prevent liver cancer; reduce heart disease

5. It can ease muscle cramps

6. It makes cardio feel like a cinch

7. It helps you get what you want - Perhaps you're dealing with a difficult person? Broach a tough topic over a cup of joe! It makes people more open to persuasion.

8. It may fight breast cancer

9. It improves recall! - Perks up short term memory! Drink it before a big exam/meeting to be your sharpest!

I ♥ Sony Ericsson

Check these out!

I've always wished for Sony Ericsson C903. The glamour red mobile phone caught my eyes when I first saw it. It's slim, stylish and elegant with a 5 megapixels camera. Much to my dismay, it's not available in stores yet. For more info, click on the link below.

Then came Sony Ericsson W995. Currently in the top of my list! Its specifications met all my requirements in a mobile phone. Fully satisfied. It's a walkman phone with an 8.1 megapixels camera. Cool aight? Yet again, it's unavailable in stores. It's available in 3 colours. Unable to decide which colour is the best. Maybe you could help me pick one? For more info, click on the link below.

Thank Goodness It's Friday

I took my car for service in the morning. Serviceman was speedy! It took him less than 15 minutes. Didn't kept me waiting for a long time, which was good, because I couldn't bare the smell in the repair shop. Euk! Might end up with lung cancer or something.

Went to Auto-City for lunch with relatives. Northern Star Cafe, concepts were similar to OldTown and Georgetown Cafe. Food was average. Very filling. Came home with my stomach overstuffed although I had only a bowl of noodles and a glass of iced drink. The journey there was bumpy. Oh man, they should do something with the roads! They were filled with holes! Almost threw up! Fortunately, I didn't. Fuh!

Stopped by at Tesco. My aunt had to run some errants. While waiting, I went to Popular and bought a copy of Thanks For The Memories by Cecelia Ahern.

Even when you're not sure where you're headed, it helps to know you're not going there alone.

No one has all the answers and sometimes the best we can do is just apologize and let the past be the past.

Other times, we need to look to the future and know that even when we think we see it all, life can still surprise us and we can still surprise ourselves.

Grieve for bad times?

At last, the connection is back to normal. Couldn't imagine how I would spend my time without the Internet. It left me no choice but to call my 'life savior' to resolve the problem. He replaced a new splitter and a new modem. Cost me RM150 including installation fee. Sigh.

As what people used to say,
great sacrifices comes with great reward.

It's been 3 days

I nearly died of boredom. The Streamyx connection cuts off every few seconds. Something is wrong somewhere. Could it be the modem? OR Streamyx sucks?

I came across these in my picture folder. They are similar somehow.

A leg

Yeah! I managed to play 'Greensleeves' on the keyboard!

Celebrate Good Times

Thank goodness exam was over yesterday! Academic English 3 was good, International Business was average and Malaysian Economics...BAD. As what I expected. Let's put that behind.

We were on our way, walking towards our car. I saw an almost bald, middle-aged man who was wearing a pair of glasses walking out from who-knows-where. I waved at him and actually said hi . Was waiting for his response but he didn't. As I looked closer, guess what, "oh! wrong person". I SWEAR he totally looked like my uncle! I was sure his mind was saying "Do I know you?". What's next? My friends were laughing hysterically because of my stupidity.

We had lunch at Lau Sher. I had Tom Yam fried rice. The food was delicious!

And this is what I encountered...

Aren't they sweet? Haha

'Angels and Demons' was commendable. The movie ended with a tremendous twist! Plus, the scenes taken in Vatican City was breathtaking. Definitely one of my favourite travel destination!

I need a pair of sunshades.

Dad said I put on weight.

I cleaned the fan these evening. It was very dusty.

I'm looking forward to play the keyboard.

My breath stinked after eating buah petai.

And 'Eclipse' mint helped!

It's too late to apologize...it's too late

The lady living just right below my unit, has always been caring towards our well-being and at all times willing to lend a helping hand.

Today, as generous as always, she made us 'Lo Mai Kai' which came together with antique bowls and she put them in a plastic bag. Took it from her and brought the food home. Without due care and attention, the plastic slipped out of my hands and the bowls went kaput! OMG! Those were Chinese antique bowls! I repeat...ANTIQUE! 2 of 'em! Where can I find the exact same bowls to replace the broken ones? Sigh. I'm so sooorrryyy. It was unintentional!

Owing to my clumsiness, first thing I'll do tomorrow is to knock on her door and apologize. Hope she will not go berserk!

In just a week...

...filled with celebrations. Wesak Day, Mother's Day and several birthdays fell on the same week. All I did was eat, eat and EAT!

...was punished with silent treatment. Less than five words per day. Sigh.

...someone who claimed to be logical in everything he does, yet was illogical in his actions. Absurd.

...someone who's employed, yet, wanted to borrow money from a child. Brainless.

...a significant song which brought to mind a significant someone.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

X-Men Origines: Wolverine

A movie that you don't wanna miss! It was nerve-racking and the special effects topped off the chart! The action-packed movie was absolutely jaw-dropping! Had to hold on to my jaw to keep my mouth closed. Lots of actors featured in this movie. Ryan Reynolds as Wade who later become Deadpool, Will.i.am as John who has the ability to teleport, Dominic Monaghan as Chris, who acted in Lost and was one of the nine members in Fellowship of The Ring. Apart from that, there were short appearances of Aaron Jeffrey (Logan's real father) and Myles Pollard who acted in McLeod's Daughters. On top of that, Hugh Jackman was HOT as ever! Also the Korean guy, Daniel Henney. Couldn't keep my eyes off him!

The remedy is the experience

Mid Term Exam. 9 more days to go. Still counting. I could already feel the strain and pressure. ARGH. According to my lecturer, carrot has a type of nutrient which functions as a memory boost. How true is it? Never heard of it before. BUT I was pretty much convinced by that. Foolishly, I asked a favour from my grandmother to cook carrot soup considering that exam is just around the corner. Feeding on carrots may be an 'antidote' to my absent-mindedness. Perhaps, I will be able to sit for my exam with no trouble. Haha. YEA RITE...DREAM ON!

Sure way to get a job!

To those who are having a hard time getting a job, try this! Maybe it will work. Be sure to call an ambulance for standby just in case you hurt yourself in the process. Good luck!
