The girl who was nearly named Gwendolyn Chua


Today, I attended my bestest friend's wedding. Seeing her today, I felt she was really happy. And I am really glad that she finally found her happiness. This year, we met on 01.01.2009 to celebrate our 13th year of friendship. Today, we met on 26.12.2009 to celebrate her BIG day.


01.01.2009 - Our Annual Reunion
(From L-R: Ong Yi Chin, Gladys Chua, Eva Voong)

Thinking back, we have been through a lot together, through all the young adolescence years. We had to fight peer pressure, study pressure, pimples, boy troubles and etc etc etc. And it seems, the times spent with her, passed by in a blink. Well, the saying goes, "Time flies when you are having fun" does really apply here. And fun, we really had a lot of them. Laughing through our secondary school days...every day till our stomachs ached and that we continued laughing...without sound..so hard, that our heads moved in sync. We occasionally made fun of ourselves to make others happy, yes...those silly years...and as silly as it sounded, we enjoyed all of it and I'm sure, we've definitely left a mark on those that laughed with us.

How did we meet? We met on the sidewalk of 1 Kempas, during our first day at school, where she had to come to look for a girl named Ai Wen (spelt wrongly by the teacher then), to change class to 1 Merbau. And the first thing she said to me was, "My name is Gladys, spelled G-L-A-D-Y-S". And in my mind, I was secretly thinking, "Yeah, I know that!" :D And this incident, that she will always remember about me was where I scolded her when she asked if I was from a Chinese School. And I had no idea why I did that. Somehow, after that, our bond strengthened just because we were the latest addition to 1 Merbau and that the rest had already found their sitting partner. I guess this is fate and God's plan for us, that we our path shall cross.

Things that I will always miss doing together with her as a teenager:-

- Walking back to her super far Kayu Ara home
- Walking back/take a cab to her Grandma's home
- Eating seafood croissant at Delifrance, Atria, DJ
- Practising calisthenics under the hot sun every single day 1-2 months before Sports Day
- Attending Girl Guides/Rangers activities during weekends...the campfires :D

Oh well, I'm sure there will be more events to come that we shall spend our time together. Till then, this is just a post to share the joy with my good good childhood friend of mine. Lotsa love, Gladys Chua Li-Lin, may God bless you and Terence Ng forever. And forever we shall be the friends that we always are....and that is...my BK friend. Muaks.

Good news come in triples... :D



Yesh!! Elaine, JJ and I passed our papers. I am sOoOooOo relieved and happy. It also feels good to know that the plans I have for myself is what God wants for me as well. So blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you so much!!!

However, Elaine and JJ have far more to celebrate as they've successfully passed all the ICAEW papers and finally get to graduate. Superbly proud of them. For me, one last hurdle!! Yeay! Thinking back, we've been through a lot these past 3 years..we're gonna miss JJ loads..wish you all the best JJ Chen.

Took my heart to the limit, and this is where i'll stay

I want you so bad it's my only wish

Girl,i travel round the world and even sail the seven seas
Across the universe I go to other galexies
Just tell me where you want, just tell me where you wanna to meet
I navigate myself myself to take me where you be

Let's walk the bridge, to the other side
Just you and I (just you and I)
I will fly, i'll fly the skies, for you and I (for you and I)
I will try, until I die, for you and i, for you and i, for for you and i,
For for you and i, for for you and i, for you and i

Took my heart to the limit, and this is where i'll stay

I want you so bad it's my only wish
I can't go any further then this
I want you so bad it's my only wish

Series of events..

I've been back to work since last Wednesday. Gladfully, I'm on training this whole week which means I get to go back earlier than usual. I realised that I have nothing much to write about as compared to when I was on leave. Is it due to the voluminous brain activity going on during working hours that practically made it blank during the evening? The possibility is there as I would normally 'pengsan' on my bed once I reached home for 1-2 hours before my dinner. Today, I was soOoo tired I literally fell to my bed and snoozed off till 10pm. The main reason was because because of my screwed-up sleeping hours that I developed during my study break. If you noticed in my previous post, I usually turned nocturnal during these breaks as I prefer to study in the weirdest hours. And so, I will go to zzzland when the sun just went up and force myself to wake up at noon. Usually I will not be able to fight my sleep-devil and ended up waking up at 3-4pm!! o.O Am still trying to 'tune' it back to normal to embrace the nearing peak period that everyone loves to hate. Sigh...

Oh well, I guess I'll just update on what I have done after the dreadful Monday. I took leave on the following Tuesday as my body really needed sleep. And I went to work at Menara Sunway (new engagement for me, the ever-infamous Sunway City Berhad) for 3 days before Friday night came!!! And boy, Friday night was fun, delicious and torturous! Why?

-Delicious-
We had steamboat at Putt's place. She was still on leave and hence she volunteered to prepare a steamboat feast for us at her condo. Yum!!!! I loved all of it...except for the 'taufu yuen failure' but was still edible wert! :) The meat balls were great...and not to mention, the raw egg+soy sauce+coriander mixture was sOooOoO good! Thanks Putt and Louis! You have been such great hosts. They even set up their dining table for us! Really, we appreciate it to bits! And each of us only had to pay RM15..kekeke :D

-Torturous-
After dinner, we played 'Torture Poker' which made most of us 'lao sai' the next day due to the overdose of fibre in our 'already-filled-with-meatballs-stomach'. Basically, we played it the Texas Hold-em style. Any players who backed out at any time will have to consume 1 piece of Jacobs biscuits. Those who carried on till the end but did not have the lowest-score cards can escape, a privilege for having the guts. The loser will have to jam 3 pieces of Jacobs down their throat!! The winner obviously do not have to eat anything further but to shuffle the cards for the next round.

Among the 5 of us, Elaine, JJ, Louis, Putt and I, we finished 1 whole tincan of Jacobs and approximately another half of the tincan of a similar sugar-coated biscuits. The hardest part---we refrained ourselves from drinking water as it will only result in the biscuits expanding in our 'oh-so-full' stomachs! It was soOoOo dry and we were so full!!!!!! It got to the point where none of us can bear to put anymore biscuits into our mouths. It was so dreadful! I would think everyone of us had at least 15 biscuits each. I know Putt had like 30 or so while I had around 25 of them! It did not sound like much when I typed it here but please bear in mind, we just finished our dinner not long ago!

-Fun-
Everyone laughed so hard that night! At least I know I did. It was soOoO funny looking at the expression of others when they have had to add 3 more biscuits on their plate which was already piled up with them.

The only regret was that we should have taken pictures of the night. Well, I gotta feeling we will re-live the torturous night after Elaine is done with her exams. Shall then post the pictures up here! :D

Then came Saturday, when I just stayed home--piggy style! heheh The poker ended around 3am and slept around 5am. Hence, couldn't wake up for lunch even.

Sunday came and it was shopping day! Yippeeeeee! Bought myself a DKNY's Be Delicious Fresh Blossom. Its light pink in colour! :D The scent's a combination of Green Apple and Cherry Blossom. Its almost similar to the all Green one, but with a hint of sweetness in its scent. I absolutely loved it!!!



My new scent with my duvet as backdrop :D


Green and pink..i heart them all :)

Bought a few things, 3 work tops and a pair of casual slipper/sandals, to give myself a treat myself as I have not been shopping for the past 1 month prep me for work..teehee... I'm totally agreeable with the following..

I always say shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist.
-Tammy Faye Bakker-

I wonder how this coming weekend will turn out to be. One thing's for sure, I would be meeting up with Gladys on Saturday as she want to pass me her red big big bomb! hahahhaha Can't wait to laugh till stomach ache with her!

Night peeps and my dear Ivan. Muaks..

Chilli Con Carne Tong Suei!

Today I brought my friends to Cristang @ Avenue 8, PJ for some pork burgers as today is a Wed-20%-off-all-Pork-Burgers-Day. Yay!

Met at my house and off we went in Elaine's car. Made reservations at 6.15pm and we were punctual to the dot. Well, I thought of going early in case the place is packed since it's a pork burger discount day. Moreover, Putt's class finishes at 5pm everyday. And so...we were the first to arrive. When we left at around 7 ish, there was only another couple who came in. Hmm..okay..it doesn't matter as the food was great and the company was even better!! Well, like how JJ puts it, "Eva booked the whole restaurant for us ok!" ehehehe..*shy shy*

OoOoOo..I'm still totally in love with the Orgasmic Mashed Potatoes even though I had it twice ady! Yum Yum. The bacon bits are to die for, it compliments the dish so well. *Let me make a mental note to put really tiny crispy bacon bits into my salad next time.* If only I had taken some pictures of our dinner. Too bad, I was busy "jutting" JJ and everyone else started poking their forks into the potatoes right after it was served.

For a party of five, we've ordered the following:-

1 Orgasmic Mashed Potatoes
1 Ambilla Curry - nah you ambil-lah! Not...have to pay wan k!
2 sets of P3 burgers
1 Nasi Lemak Goreng

Should have ordered one more dish as I could sense the guys were still hungry. Right? Guys? Okla! It was me!!! I'm hungry ok! Until now I'm still hungry. Go downstairs to fetch Jacobs soon. kekkeke


Highlight of the day

I was poking into the chilli con carne on one piece of dark red thingy when I asked...

Eva: Yerrr, what is this?

Elaine and Putt:  The red bean-lahhh

Eva:. *thinks* Huh?? Red bean? Then..*bulb lights up*

Eva: Ohhhh, kidney beans issit?!?!

JJ: It's kidney beans-lah. If its red bean, it would be called chilli con carne tong suei...

Us: Harrr??!!?! Cannot hear-laaaa...chilli con carne what???

JJ: I said chilli con carne tong suei!!

Us: Huh?!?!?!?! hahahahahhahahahahaha

JJ : *sweat*

That, my friends, is the perfect ending to the perfect dinner.

Wait..muaks muaks to my dear too!
