MODELING?! no kidding..

Working is good!! NO matter what you do, it's all work!! yes, sleeping is work too!! haha.. I love to work! why? it keeps me busy! but since i'm such a hyper girl, sitting-still work is my least favourite work..i can never sit still..i have to move about! wonder when i'll quit as a tutor?? there's more in this world for me to explore with God. Afterall, He created such a beautiful world that's rotting each day due to we, humans..sighed..when will we learn?

RITE..last week, i think..?? i did modeling for Kelvin's(my junior n my student now..) group..they didn't use the pics..thank God, so that i can use it to post it here! lol! nah..anyway, i wish to share some pics taken by Melissa Rani . i edited all the pics cos the bg( taken in TOA) is ugly and the lighting was not very good. apart from that, didn't do any other touching ups. This is one thing about we, designers..ever since we learnt photoshop, we've been editing everything taken from camera..haha..not a good thing actually^^

My hair is obedient in this pic. eversince i straightened it, i'll always wake up with frizzy hair..no wonder people said that straightening hair damages it..oh well=)

boy, i did quite some touch up for the bg..the white frame behind was actually very creased! i tried to make the bg nice n soft... ain't working...

Ah..this really reminded me during our digital imaging class with Loong Wun.. we did all this posing thingy and we "Syok Sendiri"!! it's fun! editing it the shoot was interesting too! remember the multi-of-us asignment? haha..we were monkeys!! climbing and fighting ourselves! if i got time i'll upload some of our digital imaging assignments!! hahaha=) chiao!

ELO! Monday again!

Man..can't believe it's Monday again! So many things had zoom-ed passed me that i'm getting really lost in time...ah..sorry for not updating always...whenever i sit down to type my blog, it always ended up not in drafts, but the bin...why? cos i'll type a sentence then "argh! gotta ciao" so yeah...anyway..here's a few (many) pics of Cheen (aka. Jennifer) my friend since primary3!, Chi, a new friend( introduced by Cheen) n me..it's a tale or two bout MELAKA!!

It's me alrite..new hairstlye(for those who hadn't seen me after we graduated) Cheen took the pic while Chi's driving..
Jus the 3 of us..we just love the camera!

Again..again..on our way to Melaka..

Me and Cendol..how sweet can it get?? we went to Jonker's street where they serve the best cendol and asam laksas'..mmm..yummy! Cheen and i..we just love the packing of the fruit sticks..hygiene^^

We're just being GIRLS!

We dressed up for the so-called "global dance carnival"..supposedly where all europians gather to dance...my FOOT! It's the worst event i've ever been to, costing me RM63 for a ridiculous experience of stinky mud field, a tin of Heineken and a bottle of Evian water..the queue into the fest was already a big toture cos there were many people pushing just to get in and the stench of cigarette was a killer to my nose and lungs..i didn't want to go for it anymore cos it turned out to be a stupid clubbing event..but Cheen decided to stay..it's visible that the word FRUS and ANGRY was written all over my face..the new shoes i bought from Taipei (it's cream in colour) was "coated" in mud and the horse dung.. ah..don't wanna say more..nothing good from that event's gonna come out from my mind..

"Pose, Sarah, smile!" exclaimed Cheen as she's trying to snap a pic of me together with the splendid fireworks behind me.. i'll make a good actress..my face in this pic seemed so happy and cheerful but behind the scene, it took me a great del to smile like that..you know why... but yeah, it's only this fireworks that burst so close to us that i enjoyed most out of the whole event.. and i could hear a malay guy next to me telling his friends "nah, inilah yang kita bayar utk"( "nah, this is what we paid for") i couldn't help but to burst out laughing at that statement and nodding in agreement! RM63? Come on! who would wanna pay 63 bucks to see crazy people in their trance, dancing to something called "music" in a vast pool of mud and horse dung?? sorry but nah..this type of club is not for me..

YEAH! great joy! the next day, we went to have the famous chicken rice balls in Melaka! i never fancied white chicken..i always take roasted chic, but this steamed white chicken was a juicy dish! The meat was soft and tender and it's juicy! i'll give 8.5 for it but the riceballs was nothing. you can just take any rice and roll it into a ball-shape for nicer presentation..haha

Before leaving Melaka, i told Cheen i must have again, the very CENDOL! hehe...

On our way to nowhere in Jonker street, we saw something so adorable that most girls would like-cute clogs( is it correct seplling?)

here's where we sniffed our way following the mouth-watering fragrance of pineapple tarts baking in the oven!!

while waiting for the pineapple tarts, we started playing about with the camera..


Anyone wants to donate some money?? A penny is still money!

I's generous, k? yeah rite, after this pic was taken, i kept all the money ASAP! hehehe..

WE SALUTE! at the back is the famous Melaka building..not sure what it is( i forgot my history class lessons;P) but, ya..i know it's famous.

I just love to pose with Cheen's wonderful guitar..

Here's a handsome guy who let us take a pic of his beautifully decorated "trishaw" i think that's what it's called..

This is the POPIAH-GUY that Cheen had been searching for a long time eversince we steepes into the Jonker's street. Cheen said that his popiah is a must to try! and yeah, it's nice=)

IT's MONDAY! YAY!

Haha..i can gurantee you that a lot of students, employers and employees, everyone dislike Monday. sometimes i wonder what Monday had done to them to make them dislike her.. i like Mondays, everyday actually. Why? because it's the beginning of the new week!!=D can't wait to begin my duties for this week. Not like it's very interesting but i'll make it to be!

Yesterday, i went to the morning market at Taipan. hmm..mum, i guess i need to cook on occasions only! Everytime i wanted to buy small red onions, i'll see people next to me grabbing a plastic full of onions and there, you can see a girl with soft hands picking like only 5 red onions in a plastic. it embarrassed me but it made the store keeper chuckled in disbelieved when he see the amount. I'll quickly add, " oh, i'm cooking for myself only!!"

hehe..let me show you some of the food that i had cooked and had remembered to take photo with my phone camera to show you guys!


This is one of my favourite tong sui (sweet water; direct translation=P). When i went to Taiwan, the second time, it's autumn there. So, the sky had been moody and teary. Imagine, a nice cold weather and when you eat this HOT red been soup with black sesame tang yuan, ahh..just feel the warmth... i loved it so much that when i came back to Malaysia, i did research on how to make the sesame paste for the tang yuan and i tried making this sweet dessert myself and it taste really good! haha.. but can't compare to the one in Taipei though cos all my food, i cut down on oil, salt and sugar. hahaha=) if we have a reunion again, i'll make this for you guys; my family and my close friends only=)

I like bitter gourd soup too! thanks to mah mah who indirectly taught me to eat it=) hehe, it's the first time i cooked bitter gourd vege. Thanks to mum's tips, i think i did a pretty good job. i even had chicken meat balls to beautify my cooking. there's one "friend" of mine that made my meat tast so good, it makes porridge taste great too!! that's none other than:

Lee Kum Kee pure sesame oil!! =D man, i should get paid for promoting them!! okok.. That's all from me now..if you guys want any recipes for any of these, let me know=) i still got lots of updating to do..like i said before, my life is FULL of excitement! well, i bid everyone a happy day both at school or at work! love everyone!=)

It's Taipei again!

What can i say? It's funny how life can be. Indeed..i'm a girl with scarcely feasible or promosing BIG dream who thought i would be able to make a difference in this world.. If i could, IF i could...
My second trip to Taipei in Oct 7th is somehow an astonishment to me. God and His unthinkable, mysterious plan for me=)
So many questions and doubts linger in my mind and heart whether i should take a chance and go to Taipei for the SM town global audition. My days were always, everyday filled with a 60-40 or a 50-50 yes or no. I knew this was for me, but there were days i just lose all self esteem and confidence to go ahead and pursue my dreams. Many "good" things hindered my path to Taipei and all i could think of is to doubt God more and more. Not that i wanted to think so but devil has his ways.
1st:the weeks of doubts, 2nd:the company that organised this event had not posted up the place of audition in Taiwan, 3rd:the travel agency guy gave me the wrong bank acc to bank in the cash for my plane tickets, 4th:the big typhoon that delayed my flight by a day, 5th: when i arrived at Taipei, the co. postponed the audition date due to typhoon.. and all i could do then was
@@ shockingly smiled in disbelieved!
Out of all the trouble i've been through and this is the result of it? i couldn't help but to admire and adore my beloved Father. "Really? all these while You were stopping me from coming to Taipei was because You knew it'll be canceled due to typhoon?" i felt really stupid. But it glorified God's wonderful work in my life.
The moral of the story is=P : Lean not on your own understanding but God's. For He knew way better than us. His thoughts are above ours, His understanding and knowledge is way beyond ours. so who are we compare to Who our God is? isn't it amazing to know how PERFECT God's plan and timing is and how we try so hard to plan according to our time and everything somehow don't turn out so well? There's always a season and time for everyone and everything and only He who created us knows it all. Thus, it is my sincere prayer that we, especially me, will learn to surrender everything, all our plans into God's hands and be rest asure that God'll make everything right and the best for us all.

well, since i missed the audition this time, i believe there's more to come! why worry? God'll provide the best for me and for all of us!=D
