CNY is just around da corner~~~

As per the title above, CNY is just around da corner~ in just a few days in fact! I'm quite excited bout it! Since this coming new year is the Year of the Tiger, the chinese zodiac that i was born into ^^

According to the chinese zodiac, the Year of 2010 is the Year of a Golden Tiger, which begins on 14 February 2010 and ends on 2 February 2011. The Tiger is the third sign in the cycle of chinese zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs. It is a sign of courage.

Well, let's see how courageous I am facing the upcoming year ^^

Re-appearance!!!

Oh God! It's been like what...10 months since my last post here!!! =S

Oh well, time sure flies in a flash and waits for none. Although i'm glad that i can still keep up with what life tossed at me so far =P

Hmm... How bout a pre-New Year resolution? Try to be more active in my blog? =P lol

Meeting up with friends ^^

On the Sunday of 4th January 2009, i met up with Ashreena and Asha at a shopping mall in Klang. Venni was unable to come due to her exams, Sabrina due to transport problem, and Elaine because she's not feeling well =( (I managed to meet up a friend of mine, Chloe, who's currently working as a promoter there, for a while though^^)

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the time well spent catching up with my friends. We traded stories and any news that we've heard from other people. Ashreena will be starting a new semester today in her college, where she's taking Journalism, while Asha is currently hunting for a job.

We had lunch at Nando's, whereby i ordered 1/4 Chicken, lemon and herb flavour, with 2 side dishes (chips & coleslaw) and a drink.



The food taste delicious (mm mmm~ yummy), especially the chicken. However, in my opinion, although the food is superb, there's not much to say about their service though. We had to ask twice for our drinks to be served, and whenever we raised our hands for assistance (like asking for some sauces), it seems like no one can see us. The feeling they gave off is like, we seemed young, therefore we're not important customers.

Okay, so not all of the servers are not good. The young lady that lead us to our table is polite enough. However, there's more. When we paid for our food by putting the bills on the bill holder, the guy just flip over the holder with one hand and move off without as much as a glance or a thank you. I mean, excuse me?? Even if you had a bad day, that's no reason for us to put up with that kind of attitude!

Road Safety

Right after the clock strike 12am on 1st January 2009, the amendment made by the Road Safety Department which makes it mandatory for rear-seat passengers to wear seat belts came into effect and is enforced.

According to The News Straits Times Online today, Road Transport Department officers issued 242 summonses nationwide within two hours of it becoming mandatory for rear seat passengers to buckle up.It is reported that until 30th June 2009, rear seat passengers will be issued a RM300 compound fine for not wearing the seat belt. After that, offenders will face either a RM2,000 fine, a year's jail or both. The summonses are issued to individual passengers aged 17 years and above, and in the case where the rear-seat passengers are under 17, the driver is fined.

Personally, i think that it's good that the Road Transport Department are concerned about our safety on the road and are ensuring that we follow the rules so that we can avoid road accidents. However, i felt that the fine of RM2000 and a year's jail is pretty heavy for such an offense. Furthermore, there are only 3 seat belts available in the back seats. What if there are 4 passengers sitting at the back seats? 3 of them will buckle up, and 1 person no need to buckle up? Hmmm.......

Beyonce - If I Were a Boy Lyrics

Beyonce - If I Were a Boy Lyrics

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I could turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)

(Chorus)

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

(Chorus)

But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Genre:	Comedy,Drama,Family,Romance

A pampered Beverly Hills Chihuahua named Chloe finds herself accidentally lost in the mean streets of Mexico without a day spa or Rodeo Drive boutique anywhere in sight. Now alone for the first time in her spoiled life, she must rely on some unexpected new friends -- including a street-hardened German Shepherd named Delgado and an amorous pup named Papi -- to lend her a paw and help her to find her...

I went to watch this movie with a couple of friends yesterday. It was quite funny, and a good movie to watch especially for dog-lovers.
