There is no title

2009-01-08T16:40:55Z

2009 has been great so far because I've been playing mahjong almost everyday. Actually hor, my lifetime ambition is to become a tai-tai. LOL. Mahjong-ing and food hunting are my primary activities now. Omg, what happened to shopping T____T

Chinese New Year is around the corner but the 'feel' is not here yet. I am just getting old-lah. Contrary to popular belief, I have yet to buy new year clothes. And I am already gaining weight even before CNY. HOW WEI!

Last week, I lost my parking ticket at Midvalley. Searched high and low for it in the car but to no avail. Mana tau the penyapu sampah found it, I thought I was damn lucky lar ok I met my lucky star. Then hor, the penyapu sampah went and ask RM 5 from me. T_______T This is when I realised that there are no kind souls in this world. Why is the world so cruel ar!

Maybe I should stop looking for certainties and start looking things at a different perspective.

2008, my most adventurous year so far

2009-01-04T01:38:23Z

A year of ups and downs has come and gone away. 2009 has been treating me good so far. No accidents, I did not get kidnap, nobody threw eggs at me and the police did not stop me on the road. Oh oh btw people! Remember to fasten your seatbelts when you get in the car okay!

My 2008 in brief:

1. I gave my dad the biggest birthday present by getting my laptop stolen in KLCC. I know lar, where got people so stupid leave laptop at the backseat of the car one!! T______T Oh well, blame the sales magnetism. I was too excited bout the sales until I forgot to bring down my laptop.

2. I developed a hatred feeling towards bubble tea.

3. Went temple to menilik nasib for the first time =P

4. Went through a series of events which made me have all sorts of retarded thoughts.

5. I graduated and had a tough time deciding what and where to study.

Eh, actually I can't really remember what happened last year cause losing my laptop is my biggest 'achievement' in 2008.
Thank you.Bye bye.
And I officially hate KLCC lar, so don't you dare to ever ask me to go there again ~~unless there's massive Gucci sale.~~
T________________T

A very very unpredictable year end I would say.

Hello, I can online already =P

2008-12-27T18:17:44Z

I must constantly remind myself to not cross that boundary.

The halt.

2008-12-17T00:59:50Z

The rollercoaster ride finally grinds to a halt.
I do not need to hold on so tight anymore.
Never in my life would I want to take the ride again.

Please tell that you miss me even if you don't. Haha.

2008-12-15T06:20:27Z

Blogging from Aussieland because I woke up way too early.

2008-12-13T22:09:29Z

Everything's fine here except that there's a big hole in my wallet right now and I desperately need to replenish it ~~so that I can buy more clothes~~. Oh, not to forget the pounds I have put on to my body T______T I'm going home in less than 48 hours. Did not extend my stay here due to insufficient funding from Mr Daddy. So yeah, I'm going home for good, I guess? I'm ~~bored~~ tired of sightseeing. Actually the sightseeing part is okay. I just don't quite like the travelling part. As some of you may know, I have motion sickness and I get dizzy no thanks to the winding roads and the up and down series of hills . Carsick, seasick but not airsick. Plane is different mar, because I can't feel the movement, I think?

Need not worry about my suitcase because I brought a spare one =) ho ho, am I smart??????? *bows* I am very very sure that the father is going to lecture me regarding the 2 luggages T_______T And I need to think of a reasonable excuse. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU HAVE ANY GOOD ONES.

I am so freaking broke that I'm afraid I don't have enough money to pay for my overweight luggages. Ahem ahem, I did not shop A LOT okayyy, as 99% of the people would have expected. I mean, I do shop, but it's not a massive shopping spree for me. I would say that I shop as much as I do in Malaysia. By the way, I never knew I'm a light traveller until I found out that my luggage weighs only 8kg when I departed from homeland. Girls, get your tips from Lauren Foo on how to travel light yo!

Most of things I bought are, ermmmm, food *shy* I need to buy my favourite cereal, Crunchy Nut because I can't find it in Malaysia. Tim Tam, Kit Kat Caramel, Breakfast bars ------->>>> my lurrveee. Crunchy Nut was my staple food in UK. You wanna know why? Cause 'kiam siap' people like me don't like to spend money on food.

Sigh, it is only 8am now and I have to wait till 10.30am for dim sum. T_______T Damn hungry but I must tahan because I want to eat as many 'har gao' as I can. *kiasuism*

Okay lar, aku mau mandi sekarang. Jumpa lagi!

I should, really.

2008-12-10T11:59:12Z

The song Better In Time by Leona Lewis should be deleted from the playlist.

Hesitation

2008-12-04T02:14:38Z

hola hola! I'm back in PJ!! =D

2008-12-03T01:00:15Z

It feels so good to be back in civilization =) Seriously, everytime I visit a mall after I just got back from Semenyih, my mood brightens up immediately. Why does University of Nottingham has to be in Semenyih lar you tell me! Actually, I do not hate Semenyih as much as I used to in 3 years back. In fact, I'm starting to grow fond of it although someone from my uni just passed away.

SIGH, I've got nothing to talk about. why is my life so boring. T____T I want to post up pictures also cannot because the pictures are scattered everywhere, everyone.

Random update: I have moved to on campus, Langkawi Hall. LALALA, and I got free acccommodation cause I'm the Hall Tutor. Yeah lar yeah lar, start laughing, *Lauren Foo as a hall tutor* but who cares! As long as I get FREE accommodation okay. Anything free = good = bagus. Cheapskate but I don't care =P

BRB. wanna makan breakfast.

OMG. I am so sad T___T My house ran out of cereal and bread. And I've got nobody to call for breakfast now because most of my friends are working. The non-working ones are not awake. I really think I should start making friends with aunties/uncles because they wake up early to have breakfast at coffee shops. *drooling for steamed bread + wantan mee + hot milo* Note: I like steamed bread, not toasted bread okay! LOL.

Ok lar, I am very hungry now. bye bye. I'm going out to buy breakfast.

This is more exhilarating than my graduation!

2008-07-21T16:43:29Z

To be updated soon!!

With UTT, the MTV VJ.
He's way better looking in person. *drools*
Can't believe he's 34 already.

Me, as usual, was extremely starstrucked and this time, erm, I got caught!! Guess what I saw on facebook??? *damn shy wei*

Blessed

2008-07-18T06:55:08Z

I only have 2 tickets for graduation ceremony! So how? Which two of my family members are going to attend my graduation? Father + mother or mother + sister? Dilemma, dilemma. Since my dad is a camera noob and doesn't know how to take pictures, most probably he's not going lar. Haha. And we're going to take family portrait in the studio, so there's no reason for him to come. Somemore he doesn't like to attend all these functions one.

On a brighter note, I now have something to wear for graduation already! Went to Bangsar yesterday for a graduation-attire-shopping-trip and the I was summoned for illegal parking T_____T So much for wanting to find the right clothes I tell you. I don't think I'm going to pay the summon cause I wanna save money to get that pair of black jeans and a high waisted pants which is to-die-for. Damn sad okay, I had to leave the boutiques empty handed. If only I had something to wear on graduation, then I need not buy that skirt which I'll be wearing tomorrow. Everyone's telling me that I'll be wearing a robe so what I wear inside is not important. But I wanna take tons and tons of pictures WITH and WITHOUT the robe lar. So must wear nice nice inside alsooo. HAHA. How often do I wear formal right. Ngekz.

Weeeeeeee.....I'm more prepared for graduation already and erm, slightly excited. =DD
I really really hope I don't trip and fall on the stage tomorrow! *touches wood*

a salon addict

2008-07-16T03:16:35Z

4 visits to the salon in 2 weeks! I think the hairstylists and the people working there see me until damn jelak already. Sudahlah I don't give them big business, somemore go there for some utterly trivial matter.

2/7 (Tuesday) - I suddenly miss my ~~lala~~ straight bangs. Didn't want to be shilly-shally and off I went to chop my hair. The fickle me changed my mind and I ended up with side-swept fringe, but a very tak jadi one due to my hair texture. T___T

4/7 (Thursday) - Dissatisfied with the fringe. Hence, the second visit.

15/7 (Tuesday) - I've been yearning for curls for ages but was too coward to perm it. Besides, I will never ever perm my hair because I know that I can never pull it off and my hair might break anytime due to rebonding + colouring. Anyhow, I was curious to know how I look like in curls so I decided to DIY and played with the curling tong. Mana tau my curls tak jadi cause I didn't know how to use the curling tong! Hey, I'm not lousy okay but quote Siok Kin, it takes practice man! Being the very discontented me, I went to the salon and did temporary curls.

16/7 (Wednesday) - Gonna dye my hair today. Let's hope this would be my last visit till the next couple of months at least.

OK lar, going to 1U now.

What colour to dye ar?
Should I cut my fringe again?

my monotonous life

2008-07-09T08:11:11Z

Graduation is on next Saturday and I'm not even a tad bit excited bout it I-just-don't-know-why. Heck, I don't even know what to wear on that day. I need to go on a shopping spree to hunt for graduation clothes *hint hint* Hey, this is not an excuse for me to shop okay but I really really don't have any 'presentable' formal attire. This also reminds me that I need a new hair colour. To all soon to be University of Nottingham's graduates, are your family/friends/gf/bf/ gonna get you flowers on that day? Cause if everyone's getting a bouquet of flower then I will force my parents to buy me flowers too! ~~Worse come to worse, I buy for myself only lar.~~ Later everyone take pictures got flower, I don't have then how? T_____T Yeah lar, I know I'm damn kiasu =PPP

So I'm in the midst of applying for universities. Sigh, so many things to do. Everything is so kelam-kabut right now cause I tried applying a few universities online but then I don't have all the documents so I can't proceed with the applications. Hence, everything is incomplete.

I have gotten so lazy and am so tired lately and I can't be persuaded into doing anything. All I want to do is just to sleep/eat/watch series/online at home. Don't ask me how I can be so tired eventhough I'm not working and am having holidays cause I have yet to find the answer. Haha.

Another Lauren Foo's randomness:

12.04 am: Was msn-ing and had a sudden crave for Coffee Bean's pure chocolate ice blended.
12.10 am: Went to Section 14's Coffee Bean. Unfortunately it's closed. T__T
12:12 am: Still in Section 14. Drove past Starbucks which was still OPEN but refused to drink Starbucks cause I was craving for Coffee Bean's pure chocolate.
12.16 am: Not wanting to give up, went to SS2's Coffee Bean. Closed too.
12.25 am: Since not fated to drink Coffee Bean, Starbucks pun boleh-lah. Went back to Section 14 Starbucks. CLOSED.
12.30 am: Reached home WITHOUT Coffee Bean NOR Starbucks.

0 (home) ---> 1 (CB, Sect 14) ---> 2 (SB, Sect 14) ---> 3 (CB, ss2) --->2 (SB, Sect 14) ---> 0 (home)

Summer depression

2008-07-06T11:11:35Z

As much as I like holidays, I actually hate summer breaks. Not because of the excruciatingly hot climate. Malaysia is hot all year round anyway.
More like bad things tend to happen in summer.
Dreams which seemed to be so realistic yesterday may seem surreal today.
I've also learned that to avoid is not to solve.
And some things are easier said that done.
Summer 2007, it was Mcdonalds. Summer 2008 it's Tony Roma's.
Let's pray for a better summer next year.

First.Of.July.Zero.Eight.

2008-07-01T06:51:32Z

Guess what?? I'll be working part time for the next 2-4 weeks! *bows* Some data entry thingie in Dataran Ara Damansara.

I feel damn emo now T___T No more holidays for me. Btw, I have finally made up my mind to do MSc in Chemical Engineering. Means I'll NOT be working, at least not for the next 1 year.

I'm so fickle and I hate making decisions. Stop telling me that this is part of life and start giving me all those auntie-uncle-nagging-stories that this is my life and I have to make my own decisions and yadda yadda. I've had enough of that and I totally understand that these people care for me but it annoys the hell out of me.

The Maxis statement arrived at the mailbox few days ago and it states that I sent out 1361 sms-es in May. For your info, 100 sms-es in a month is already a lot to my dad. I think I'm gonna hide the phone bill and wait until next month's statement arrives. I have to control my kepoh-ness and stop reporting every single thing I know to my friends. I don't really trust MSN, and SMS is the next best option (do let me know if you have a better option =P).

Things to do:
1. Apply for MSc.
2. Eat Chicken Fondue in Cheras.
3. Sell my clothes online.
4. Visit Sungei Wang and Petaling Street.
5. Eat roti cheese telur/ cheese naan.

Damn sad lar okay. The last time I visited Williams, I didn't get to eat roti cheese telur or cheese naan cause the 'roti man' was on leave. They don't have another man to make roti meh?

V-E-R-N

2008-06-30T13:27:30Z

One who has never failed to give me practical advices. And for that, I can always count on you whenever I have problems. One whose words always seem to have a soothing effect on me. One who puts in infinite effort so that the friendship keeps flowing.
And that's you, Vern Li. *hugs*

Combusted nail polish

2008-06-26T17:48:36Z

The nail polish which was painted on my nails got burned while I was lighting up the candles on my cousin's birthday cake.
I need lessons on how to use/hold a lighter.
T___________________T

Hey anonymous!

2008-06-23T07:00:50Z

Hey girl, why did you stop visiting?
I reckon we know each other considerably well though we have never met nor spoken before.
Seemingly, it has nothing to do with us now.
Girls nature, I supposed =)

Er, or was it not you?

Lauren says NO to Koko Krunch Duo

2008-06-20T04:54:48Z

As some of you know, I hardly/never skipped breakfast. Every morning, my body wakes up for breakfast without fail, regardless of how late I slept the night before. Anyway, I got so bored of my usual brown colour Koko Krunch and I tried to be more adventurous with my food so I bought Koko Krunch Duo instead. Note the word 'tried'.

I kena conned lar. The white Koko Krunch doesn't taste like white chocolate also T___T Since food is getting more expensive as a result of petrol price hike, I have to mengamalkan sikap berjimat-cermat. So how now? Got Koko Krunch discrimination already. HAR! It's time for me to apply my Chemical Engineering knowledge to my daily life. I remember I used to learn segregation process in Particle Mechanics. *beams proudly* Sounds professional but I use spoon and hand to separate them only T___T

The outcome of my experiment:

The ~~blacks~~ browns were segregated from the whites.

It took me 10 minutes to separate the Koko Krunches. I'm glad I didn't buy Froot Loops, or it'll take me 30 minutes to just 'prepare' my breakfast. So many colours dei. Purple, blue, yellow, orange,red and green.

Then, I have to soak my cereal in the milk for 5 minutes before I can eat it. I like soggy Koko Krunch. And soggy french fries too. Not 100% soggy okay, I like it 40-50% soggy. HAHA, as if I'm eating steak like that. Rare, medium rare or well done. Me like it well done cause I don't eat raw meat.

I shall just stick back to my good old Koko Krunch. So much for wanting to try new food. Blah, why am I so loyal to food? =PPP

contemplating suicide...hohoho

2008-06-18T05:28:11Z

omg omg results wil be released anytime from today onwards. *kan cheong-ness*

Yay, my lappie is finally back from the 'hospital'. Please remind me to switch my laptop and modem off when there is thunder the next time.

Random picture:

It's Friday night!

2008-06-17T04:35:37Z

study or work?

2008-06-15T05:08:19Z

Lauren Foo is in shopping crisis. I don't know to shop for 'working' or 'uni' clothes now!
What if I buy uni clothes already, then I decided to work?
And what if I buy working clothes already then I made up my mind to do postgrad? I know I know, can keep my working clothes for next time right. But then not syiok lar.
Sigh, I am so fickle.
10 out of 10 people said that I don't have the working-face yet. booohoooo.

Recent random things:
1. I am addicted to tau foo fah from this Hainanese restaurant in SS2. They sell the best-est tau foo fah weiii! But they serve very small portion and it's definitely not enough for a glutton like me.
2. I went to Skybar and the place was so dim that I thought the stirrer in the drink was a straw and needless to say, I tried to drink through the stirrer. T____T
3. I accidentally knocked someone with my car's side view mirror. No worries, that person is still very much alive. He wasn't even injured to begin with. =D

why am i so useless?

2008-06-11T12:13:01Z

Because I feel like a useless person doing nothing productive everyday, I THINK I'll be applying for intern but I hope I don't get it, so that I can continue bumming around.
Peer pressure. Almost everyone's working/doing intern.
Holidays have been great so far. Woots! Yes, I'm still not bored of holidays yet.
For those who think that I shop and shop and shop everyday, you are so wrong. Cause I'm freaking broke right now I can't even afford to buy pasar malam clothes. ~~But how wei, my main goal in life is to be able to shop til I drop.~~
I am one that enjoys holidays so much that even 4 months of summer break is still not enough for me.
Yum char, breakfast, shopping, watching series, blog hopping, stalking people online, mahjong, spending time with family = me lurveee.
And I don't even mind lazing at home all day long.
I have been eating 6 meals a day for the past few days T_____T Worse than a pregnant lady.
How not to gain weight lar you tell me. Thank god my weighing scale is not working. *evil laugh*

Anyway, I was talking to Mr Cheah the other day about what I should do during this 3 months and he came up with 3 ~~babi-gila-weird~~ options.

1. Work as a fashion designer.
2. Study fashion design at Lim Kok Wing
3. Marry a fashion designer.

Oh, and we were both wondering whether Lim Kok Wing is married. HAHA.

I feel like eating McDonalds ice-cream now. Bye Bye.

quick update

2008-06-07T14:29:30Z

Hello hello! wEEEE! Finally I get to online!!
I sent my laptop for a repair (according to Soon Seng, this sounds very edison-ish but too bad I don't have any scandalous photos in my laptop) and I don't know what's wrong with my desktop but my monitor shows blank screen saje. T____T
So yeah, no laptop + desktop = no online for me for the next couple of days.
Btw, I'm currently at a cyber cafe. RM2 per hour onlyy!! I remember I used to pay RM 3 or more, but that was few years ago. Or maybe that cc more canggih =P
This cc doesn't allow me to upload pictures from my camera. Why so cacat one!

Somebody hacked into my msn and changed my nickname. *cough cough*

On an unrelated note, I just checked my mail and I received a damn depressing email. Damn babi gila terasa now.

No mood and nothing to blog already. Tata.

Lauren went in to the GENTS!!

2008-06-02T04:09:03Z

Last Wednesday, I went to 1U to meet up with Sue Ann and Yenli before Yenli leaves Malaysia for 5 months. We were supposed to meet up at Forever 21 but then I had a sudden urge to pee and so, I walked over to the toilet first. And the story begins here, deng deng deng.......

As you can see from above, there was this wet floor safety sign directly in front of the female toilet entrance. I was so damn sesat and I buta-buta went in to the men's toilet T______T Eh wait, before you all start laughing, I haven't finished my story yet. Inside the gents, I saw 'Man A' blowing dry his hands using the hand dryer. He stared at me weirdly but I was still too blur to realised. Then, Man B comes in. He was super duper shocked when he saw me and he even moved a few steps backwards. After that, both Man A and Man B stared at me weirdly. And FINALLLLYYYYY, I realised that I was in the wrong bathroom.
