after much hard work...

penang~

还好啦。。 除了吃，还是吃。哈哈。。

映像最深刻的是有一天晚上，我刚到 song river 吃。吃饱了走着出去时，我看到一个男子边笑边吃。开始我觉得。。 哇，这个人不错。吃到这样开心。过后才看到原来他手上拿着相机，在录着自己吃satay， 还说：mmm,真得很好吃。。

有时我想，他到底是怎样的人？

是一个人吃一个人来槟城玩吗？好像有点可怜，有点凄凉。不过他却还能很开心。。

是录了过后给女朋友看吗？或许他们刚好那天晚上不能在一起，他把吃satay的过程录下来给他看？？真甜蜜哦。。

不过在我的想象中我还是比较喜欢想像说他是一个虽然孤单但很坚强的人。=）

study break

hmm.. study break and what am i doing?? knitting... haha..
i'm in a knitting frenzy now, rushing to finish a pair fo gloves for him. first, it was too big, now i'm afraid it'll be too small. still working on it. my physio is so dead. .

raya hols was great, got to meet up with my rarely-seen friends. we went to pd for a day trip, then went yamcha another day. i'll upload the pics when i have time. now, i have no time. haha.. too busy knitting. =)

sem 2 coming to an end...

this sem has been quite fun, come to think of it.
putting aside all the projects and assignments, for the rest of the time we were just busy thinking of whether wana go to midvalley or timesquare. haha..

this sem we went to midvalley god knows how many times, went for cell outing, discovered the passage connecting sg wang and timesquare, discovered food everywhere, including jalan kuchai lama and old klang road, tom yam in sri petaling, sg besi pasar malam & no. 1 claypot chicken rice (which i haven't had a chance to try yet) ...

i got obsessed with a type of pants, so now i have 3. haha.. this is wat i call obsession. actually i got obsessed with quite a number of things, but i can only remember the pants and the cute tortoise thing. i actually bought 1 for myself already, then i saw them selling blue and pink tortoises another day in pasar malam. due to my excessive undecidedness, i didn't buy. so i had to drive all the way back through all the jam to buy the two pathetic tortoises.

in midvalley one day, i actually saw my favourite contestant in malaysia's 'i want to be model' with her boyfriend i think. my goodness, her body was so unbelievably perfect and she was so pretty. but then again, she was only kicked out coz she was too short to be a model. ai...

i went to see imu cup events: only football and cheerleading. i wanted to see basketball too, but i didnt know where it was. they said it was far better than football though, aside from all the eye candy.

cheerleading was fantastic. pharmacy won! i always thought they were the best anyway. our batch was very supportive. we made confetti to throw down from the 1st floor at the end of their performance. the guys even painted their purple t-shirts to spell out the word 'PHARMACY' so creative of them. the banner was very nice too.

so... what else..?? well, i am currently broke beyond broke. if jpa will really increase our money i guess that will be a dream come true.

i'm so happy these few days. my relationship with my fren can be considered stable, peaceful and happy. got to see him in this whole sem more than the entire year before. haha..
really feel happy. i guess it is me. as long as i don't think too much and don't be unrealistically demanding, and if i trust him, really trust him, happiness isn't that far around the corner.
of course, the book really helped. "men are from mars and women are from venus- by john gray"

i still have 2 weeks of class before 3 weeks of study break. then i will have 1 day of exam. hey, that's finals wei. kinda idiotic rite?

so this week, monday, that is today, we are eating at tast walking then watching our own movie. we've been having our own movie marathon watching on my laptop in my room with the lights off. so far, we've watched what a girl wants, monster house and blue lagoon, which caused us much entertainment. especially my housemate. haha...

tues is pasar malam day. i hope to be able to but a tortoise hp case i saw last week. (note: obsession)

wed we are going to the gray and amour then eating at old klang road.

thurs go sunway, sat go times square and sg wang and isetan. fri unknown yet. sunday?? well, i guess i'll hav to study bm and eng, coz my tests start next week monday.

gotta go now. since i discovered the scanner in the library i have been waiting for this day. ~
i'll upload some pictures when i find time.

When the stars go blue...

Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
The stars go blue, stars go blue

sarangheyo~

莎郎嘿唷 means i love you
代表着我 离不开你每分每秒每一个声音
只有你撒娇会让我微笑

莎郎嘿唷只对你说
i will love you
and forevermore 我答应 baby you will see
每一个我都属于你

Oh baby I will love you because
我都属于你

当我打给你，听到你用这首歌做我打给你的ringtone 的时候。。。
整个心‘lam’了..^.^

men are from mars.. women are from venus..

i bought the book some time ago, read it halfway, then forgot about it...
recently i picked it up again. it is really good y'know. half the time i feel like the book is talking about me. it's like, hey! that's me!
it's good somehow, unravels some of the mind-boogling facts about guys..
now i just have to believe it and react accordingly. hmmm... takes practice though..

help! i'm a photocopier for answers!!

you noe wat, i dun mind helping other people in their work or explaining stuf if i actually understand it and they don't . or comparing answers with them after they actually do it. However..... I CAN'T STAND PEOPLE WHO ARE TOO LAZY TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK THEMSELVES AND JUST WANT TO COPY!!! what am i? an answer generating machine? everybody has to do their homework themselves. why can't they just do it like all others?
"aiya, i dunno how to do la, can you save your answers for me??"
"have you finished your report ah? can lend me to copy ah?"
what the heck! you all have brains rite?
if you don't use them it could actually degenerate!!

友情的考验

最近因为男女私情。。 好像失去了一个朋友。他说他还需要时间。。可是面对我时却好像隔着什么的。。我们会不会永远都无法回到以往那种舒服的朋友关系呢？？或者真的没办法。。 朋友之间一旦多出一个‘情’，一旦说了出来，恐怕只会有一生的尴尬。
希望这个人能在拉曼找到属于他的幸福。。这样或许我们总于可以做会朋友。

i hate it when...

everything that matters to you is just --- YOURSELF!

One tree hill season 3

One tree hill is back!!!
haha.. i'm slowly going crazy due to unhealthy suspense.;p

if i never knew you

If I never knew you
If i never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.

And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true

I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

if I never knew you
There's no moment I regret
If i never felt this love
Since the moment that we met
I would have no inkling of
If our time has gone too fast
How precious life can be...
I've lived at last...

And if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you

暧昧

只能陪你到这裡
毕竟有些事不可以
超过了友情
还不到爱情
远方就要下雨的风景

到底该不该哭泣
想太多是我还是你
我很不服气
也开始怀疑
眼前的人 是不是同一个 真实的你

曖昧让人受尽委屈
找不到相爱的证据
何时该前进
何时该放弃
连拥抱都没有勇气

曖昧让人变得贪心
直到等待失去意义
无奈我和你
写不出结局
放遗憾的美丽 停在这裡

lydia~

迷离的眼眶
为何流浪
心碎的海洋
受了伤
连微笑都彷徨
gypsin女郎
为谁而唱

你会看见雾
看见云
看见太阳
纪念和大地重复着悲伤

他走了带不走你的天堂
风干后会留下彩虹泪光
他走了你可以把梦留下
总会有个地方等待爱飞翔

lydia 幸福不在远方
开一扇窗
许下愿望

你会感受爱
感受恨
感受原谅
生命总不会只充满悲伤

wedding bells

I went for sally’s wedding on sat morning. It was quite a rush, as we had to leave at 9am for the 11am wedding. Guess this is one of the downside of always being on time. Anyway, I went there wondering how grand it was going to be. While waiting outside for the rest to arrive, we engaged in the only activity available—people watching. Conclusion? City harvest is full of ‘lenglui’s. aih.. is there hope for me to become like them? How I wish. Haha!;p
First we saw the husband-to-be. Damn handsome man. Then sally arrived, looking blur, excited, happy… the flower girls were sooooo cute!! So was a little boy of about 1-2 years old, looking adorable and dashing in a mini tuxedo. I thought he was going to be the ring bearer, and seriously, I was a bit worried for the couple as he kept crying and hanging on to his poor mothers’ legs like it was his life-line. By the way, after the wedding, we saw him in a pram!! He looked so cute, like ‘xiu yeh’ like that. Ha..
During the wedding, they showed a short video clip of the couple. It was quite touching, as we could really see how much in love both of them were. The whole wedding sweet, heart-warming, sentimental, full of romance... it made me think of what I would really want for my wedding. When or if it happens anyway. Heheh.. I don’t really care about the decorations, as long as it’s simple and sweet. But I want the special feeling to be there. The feeling of both being ecstatic, happy till nervous, sweet, touching, romantic… the feeling of “finally… we can finally be together forever…”

chicky thursday

One sunny evening, mother hen brought his chicks to midvalley for a treat. The chicks were very excited because it was their first outing together. So, on the way there, they chirped about endless topics, and then trooped after mother hen to the appointed place where a special bedtime story was being told. As there was some time to kill, four of the chicks found themselves some food while mother hen found himself a drink. Mother hen sure waddled very fast though. Anyway they were just in time to catch the magical story about narfs and everybody having an appointed role and purpose in life. It was a very fun outing not so much because of the movie but more the excellent company. At the end of the night, mother hen had to leave while the chicks found their way back themselves. The entire journey was most amusing mainly due to a particular talkative and funny chick. Under orders from mother hen, with dire consequences should they fail to comply, the male chicks showed off their gentlemanly attitude by walking the female chicks back to vista C. ~the end~

Cast:
Mother hen: zia hau
Chicks: me, Fiona, Kelvin, BB, KK, miao miao, Alfred, David
Talkative chick: Alfred

Quotes:
It is not the movie, it’s “watching together”… -zia hau

stuff tv teaches

saw on tv yesterday, some actor lecturing on love to his son.
hmm.. what did he say??
he said, it doesn't mean that you gotta always be with the person you love. it's enough that you keep them in your heart.

~爱一个人不一定要在他们身旁，把他们收在心里就好。。。 ~

其实爱又是什么？是拥有吗？我们又怎么懂那真正是爱呢？
我们所认识的爱，就是从电视机，故事书，看到的爱。那些又是爱吗？难道爱是对那些衡量的？
我认为不是。。

love is a fickle thing
it comes and goes as it pleases
leaving confusion along its path
it offers no lifelong guarantee
yet requires you to give your fragile heart
sometimes it brings a smile
yet at other times it brings more heartache
but happiness is a choice
just like sadness is our choice
i don't know what my life holds
but they say God gives us only this much obstacles
knowing that we have the strength to overcome it
what can't kill you can only make you stronger

i always see this phrase:
Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like
because the one you like will leave you for the one he loves
but then, well, what if you are just the one he likes
one day he will leave you for the one he loves
so what will you do then?
will life lose all its meaning and glow?
hmm, well, for me, it most probably will.

i also often see this phrase:
it is better to have loved and lost
than to have never loved at all

life is one tricky thing
there's no knowing what may come next
but i suppose if this is my life
the very least i can do
is to face it with a smile~

爱情的秘诀

1。 信任
总觉得很难做到。。
动不动就怀疑他，责问他，尤其是当他身边有别的女子，
还是别的女子对他太好，跟他太亲，跑到太近。。唉。。。
其实我觉得他并不会去‘靠’别的女子，只是怕他会对她们太好，使她们心动。。
我知道我因该给他我100%的信任，可是却做不到。
我太容易吃醋。太怕受到伤害。。
信任越大，往往受到的伤害越大。
可是或许不信任
到头来
伤害最大。

2。 接纳
每一个人，有优点，又有缺点。
为什么人往往要去改变一个人的缺点，
成为他们所认为该有的优点?
改变是不可能会发生的。
是贪心吧，还是笨。
如果能就这样接受。。那该多好。。

突然觉得这一切都很烦。
我在这以前到底是个怎样的人？
我已忘记了。。

到底我不知不觉的改变，是为好还是为不好？
我也不知道
只是突然觉得遗失了自我
想花一点时间找回自己，
却害怕找到的自己是连我自己也不喜欢的，
或则是孤独的

不过我所知道的
就是要重新找回
轻松的笑容

爱。。。

原来爱。。。 需要很勇敢。。
因为爱一个人不只是曾任他的优点，还有的是要接受他的缺点。
毕竟没有人是完美的。

dizzy spells

i was having a mundane BM class when all of a sudden i started feeling dizzy. a kind of disorientated feeling where i couldn't walk a straight line and every sudden movement rendered me seeing stars in front of me. hmm.. how could this happen?? i only had this once before. that was because i got caught under the rain and forgot to wash my hair. but this time the sky shone clear and i really don't know what to do. i only know that dizziness is one of the worst ailments i have ever encountered. somebody help me!!!

无题

我发现
眼睛睁大，往上看
眼泪就不会那么容易掉下来
所以我就睁大眼睛往上看。。。

end of holidays ...

i really don't want the holidays to end...
the beginning of the holidays was ok, filled with lots of activities...
the middle part was getting better.
we did so many things in these few weeks.. we went to sing karaoke for 10 hours straight non-stop, went to serdang without housekeys, ate an extremely expensive dinner costing RM21.10 at 10pm at night, we went to boon koon's hse, lin hui's hse, city park, saw black night(worst ever show i ever seen), saw tokyo drift, went for 2002 graduates gathering, went to birthday party in serdang, lepak in terminal 1...
but it's all ending now..
feel kinda sad, restless, lonesome...
it's going to be so hard to meet up again with everyone present. even this coming combined birthday party is so hard to organise.
ai... end of holidays...

starbucks

现在我在starbucks上着网。真得快到惊人耶！！从此以后我在家像乌龟上网时我一定会很怀念很怀念这里的速度。不过这里其实也并不是很方便的。。。
比如说，我要先买一些吃的才能坐在这里。。
然后我又不能上厕所。。。
不过呢，当电脑一次又一次的告诉我。。183 club mv 成功下载！　我就真得好兴奋哦！！
就告诉自己。。。 再忍一片克。
不过。。。感觉真得有一点孤独。。。

有谁能救救我吗？？

事情是这样的。。。
这个人，很喜欢找人来烦
之前听我朋友讲她每次会打给他们，讲无聊的东西又讲很久 很久
有时只是miss call我朋友然后expect他打回给她然后讲一些无聊的话
过后听说他们叫她别再打了
她就没再打了

mana tau
轮到我了。。。

基本上我不介意讲废话讲久久
我常常都这样啊
以前啦
不过是跟我很熟的人
可是我其实并不认识她ye
只知道她名字而已

开始时
我尝试陪她谈
尝试体谅她
或许她很寂寞
也没可能那么多钱
每次是打手机ye
她不是芙蓉人

不过。。。walau ye。。。
她真得有少许变态
她打来。。。不是讲几分钟le
是讲几个钟
而且过后我也不懂她讲了什么重点
她只是无聊
不过有时我真得不得空啊
或者我很累
根本没力气应酬她

陪她谈还没那么惨
我最最最最最不喜欢是她讲话的方式
整天用反语
她讲话好tricky的阿
用她的语言弄我内疚
基本上我根本不需要内疚
我来给你们一些例子

我们今天的谈话就是这样了：

她：hello?
我:找我什么事？（基本上我看到她名字出现我就烦了）　
她：你每次接电话都这样问的啊？我真的很吓到le
我：有时啦。。做么？　
她: 你这样文好想问我什么事这样
我:o...是啊？
她：是咯。。。
我：hmm....
她：这样久没见有没有想念我啊？
我：hehe.. (我不能说有，因为太假了）
她：你没有答就是没有想念我啦！！
我：（不知所措）har?没有啦。。。
她：没有啦我讲笑的。
（她骗人。。因为她就是这样每次讲一些认真的话然后讲‘没有啦’， 好像‘没有啦’能补救一切。其实是她特地要问的）
我：（不懂要讲什么） oh...
她：你有没有发现。。 自从我有了你的电话每次都是我msg你。你也没有主动msg 过我
我：哦.是吗？我很少msg人的。（这是事实）
她：我只是讲下罢了！！不要生气！！
我：我没生气啊。。。
她：问你一个很sensitive的问题。。。你有男朋友没有？
（我在想，知道sensitive不是不要问咯。。。）
我：做么le?
她：哈哈，也就是说有咯。。
我：做么le?
她：只是有才会这么回答阿
我：是meh?
她：做么？你不赞成啊？
我：是咯。
她：（好像吓倒）做么呢？
我：因为可以有很多理由
她：好像什么le?
我:(好想说：好像。。因为我根本不需要回答你，所以讲‘做么le' 。。不过还是回答说。。。) 因为我不喜欢讲私人的事情
她：oh,sorry sorry!! 有看the omen 吗？
我：没有wo
她：har? da vinci code le?
我：没有
她：har????? 哪里可以？？这样出名？？
（我真是给她‘渣‘到）
我：出名不一定要看的吗

。。。。。
还有好多好多。。。也不想打了
想到就累
你们看了更累
总之一直不断地用那种方法来希望我会以某种方式回答她

比如：
你想念我吗？
讲是，我就在讲骗话
讲不是，就好像很废
这种叫做loaded question, 怎样答也不对。如果我是讲骗话的人我就直接讲。。。 很想念她。。。

然后她就会说：没有啦没有啦。。。 我讲笑罢了！我问下罢了！你不要生气！
其实我根本没生气。。。不过听了更烦

我觉得这样的人很恐怖
问问题的方法真得很恐怖
想想。。曾经何时我也曾这样
问我在乎的人
你有想念我吗
心里很希望他答，有
如果他答没有他就糟啦！；p
现在想起来。。。
我会不会也给他这样的感觉呢？
我答应自己
以后不可以像这个人
因为我已经亲身体验到这种人的恐怖

我不知道她到底要我怎样
我就是这样
我要做的东西我就会去做
不需要任何理由
不需要跟潮流
也不需要人家问出这样多理由
anyway 都不管她事
不跟她一点都不熟le!!!

到最后。。。她问我。。。
有没有烦到你啊？？

我还是回答了。。。
没有啦。。。

我发现。。。

我比以前懂事了
比以前更会珍惜
懂得感谢
较少抱怨
懂得体谅
没那么执著
我长大了。。。

我不再相信。。。童话故事般的人生
不再相信。。。人与人之间的单纯
无条件的付出与接纳

我的人生就算有梦想　
但那也只是幻想
或许在这个世界里
对我而言，是这样

童话故事，也就只是那个，
童话故事。。。
亲情，友情，爱情。。。
梦想，幻想，妄想。。。

我长大了。。。
因为现实的生活就是这样。

心中未曾说过的话。。。

我最喜欢的照片

　我们旷课还真开心哦~。~

这些年来，身边有着你们这些好朋友，其实蛮感动的，只是未曾说出口。
记得当我拿到jpa时，要走了，你们为了陪我‘最后的时刻’竟然ponteng pn. ooi 的课。其实也不是特地要ponteng的我知道，只是拍照到太迟不敢去上课而已。哈哈。。 不过我真得觉得对不起老师，要走了还教坏你们。
还有，你们每次都很支持我，知道我喜欢xxx就整天帮我制造机会，在图书馆'study group'时。。even wei han 那时图书馆duty后竟然允许xxx在图书馆里面等。好惊讶哦。；p
我记得跑marathon后，我，琳慧和崇立去parkson要买生日礼物，我又不够钱，要跟崇立借着先，过后又害到你们要掏腰包share那礼物。哎，真不好意思。跑marathon时francis也算够义气，逼他跟我一气跑，真得很谢谢你，虽然过后还是被丢在后面。；p
给我很大安慰的是当francis听说xxx喜欢李xx时说：‘有没有搞错！你都好过她啦‘！时。虽然我知道你只是要安慰我而以，不过真得很谢谢你。：）
好怀念我们补习时的傻笑声，不过我看gopal最舍不得我得啦。。哈哈。。
还有。。 每次有什么function老师没来上课我们就坐在教室里讲笑话和废话。。
也记得有一次数学节时刚好隔壁班下课。我一直望去外面，文君得叫我把我迷惘的眼神转向mr.woo。。。不知老师有没有被电倒。
很谢谢崇立每次给的‘爱情劝告及鼓励‘。。。琪珊的关心与支持。。 还有文君琳慧至死不变的友谊。。　我们是三朵金花耶。。 开玩笑。。 哈哈。。
还有子健，琪媛，悦眉， 伟汉，雪仪。。 　有没有漏了谁啊？　太多了。。
跟你们在一起的日子。。 真的好怀念啊。。 不知何时何日我们会再次齐人。。。
真难得耶，能够找到听得懂‘tohsui’这两个字的人。哈哈。。
有你们这些朋友在我的身旁，我真得觉得很幸福。。。
谢谢你们。。 友谊万岁！：）

Malaysia boleh

recently I sneaked a look at the 1st Malaysian film that I really think is not bad. ya ya I know, study BREAK ma.. Hehe.. Anyway , thought it was quite engaging, hilarious, and relaxing. not to mention plenty of eye-candy. i like the way that putri, the main character, learned how to play futsal coz of her ex but in the end learned other values of life instead and got herself another different life. the ending was very funny too, especially the part where tol collection was increasing, coz putri alwayz had to balik penang with her new guy. hahaha..
but, aiyah, even though 'eddy' is a jerk she should have chosen him la.. i mean, ASHRAF
SINCLAIR wei!!;p

i miss you ~ barry manilow

When I wake up everyday
I miss you
and it never goes away ...
I miss you
little things reminding me about you
in my silent room
sometimes I'll close my eyes
and I whisper sweet nothings you'll never hear
you are all that matters in my world
everyday I love you more
and miss you
and I wish you knew that through the darkest night
you are still the light
that helps me find my way
and I pray one day soon we will meet again
and all this emptiness will end
and I will kiss you
'till that day
though we're apart
I'll hold you close here in my heart
but God I miss you

a taste of taste walking... and more..^.^

the cell members who love to eat.;p

me at the park.. hey it looks nice and clean, but let me tell u.. there are lots of tadpoles swimming around.. and ants too!!!

pulling the globe..haha

pretending that it is a winding river behind me..^.^

ck n bk 21st b'day

don't the posters look yummy??

this is.. ahemm.. The Desert.ice cold ice cream+scalding hot chocolate

my 'snack' ~fish and chips

reflection

my fish 'n' chips

my 1st sem has passed so quickly... when i think back on the past 3 months, i guess i did quite a lot of stuff too.haha...

1) i jogged.ha.. 2 times to be exact. the first time i went alone and went around 2 rounds without stopping, but at a snail's rate. the second time i followed a friend, and almost died trying to keep up. after that i tried the 'crazy type of thing some ppl call exercise' -as my dean of pharmacy prof peter pook says. but it was fun! so i guess i'm crazy too.^.^

2) i ate. and ate. and ate.

3) i almost got blown up. coz the van driver took petrol without switching off the engine, while talking on the phone. he broke almost all the rules, just minus the smoking.
a friend of mine was using his bag to cover his face, so that even if he should blow up, his face will remain intact. ha..

4) got stressed up playing games. every friday!!

5) went crazy and had maniacal laughing fits. but then there was this one time i really had a cause to laugh.. this guy sitting opposite me in a meeting was eating paper!! okay, so he didn't really swallow the whole thing, but... it was just so funny!! i control very long oredy de, but then i started laughing, and offended the person talking to us i think, coz she thought i was laughing at her.hahaha.. anyway, whoever is interested can see me and i'll give a demo with full sound effects.;p

6) accidentally insulted the 25-year-old canteen man by calling him 'uncle'.. but made a new friend in him instead.ha..

7) found myself a whole new extended family complete with a son and grandmother. quite a fillial son too.;p

ai ... i can't think of anything else to write. so i guess that's all for now! i'll see if i can upload some pics here..

The day I felt so brave...

For a person whose entire experience in cooking only consisted of cooking instant noodles, I was feeling very ambitious and surprisingly confident one day when I decided to cook an entire meal all by myself.ha..
I had planned a simple menu, consisting of rice, steamed fish, herbal pork ribs soup, a potato-and-carrot dish, and fried celery. Actually I had totally no idea of how to produce a dish of fragrant, crunchy celery, but well, I thought I would survive. Anyway..
on that fateful day...
I defrosted my meat, filled the crock pot with all the ingredients and filled it with HOT water (haha, I remembered this time) and switched it on. As I walked away I could even smell the faint aroma of the herbs cooking. Okay, one down. I took out my celery and almost suffered from a panic attack. The celery was non-existent. What remained was a plastic bag full of brown, murky liquid with some sticks of soggy vegetable, or what remained of it. This called for an immediate change in my menu. The only other vegetable I had available was cabbage. So...
being the highly flexible person I am, I decided to change my dish to boiled cabbage, which is healthy, not oily and most importantly, EASY TO COOK. However, I mixed it with the wrong sauce.
a note to everyone interested, cabbage does not go with oyster sauce.
finally, everything was settled. the fish was by far the best. the potato dish was passable, despite being quite weird as a dish. the cabbage.. ugh, don't even talk about it. but still it was edible. in fact, i finished most of it.
that was when i heard a shriek from my lovely roommate saying: you forgot to switch on the crock pot!!!
totally puzzled i was, not to mention a little freaked out. but lo and behold, it was as cold as ice. let me first tell you a little about the geography of my place. my pot was plugged into an extension plug, which was plugged to the main socket on the wall. me being the genius i am actually did switch on the switch... on the extension plug. well, i guess you know what happened. ai...
