Happy News
I am starting work on August 24th, 2009!!! yes, it is the official date ♫♪♪♫. wheee~
The day that ive been looking forward is just 4 days away! After being unemployed for almost 2 months, im now all ready to work my ass off. Super excited and i mean it.
To be honest im a tad worried too. Im afraid that i wont be able to handle the tasks that they give me or even worse, do silly things and embarassed myself infront of everyone. The thought of it makes me cringe. ugh.
I hope everything will turn out great.
So i have four more days to relax and enjoy my life to the max before stepping into the real world-work force.
Eat, drink, sleep, play, relax, sing, dance, shop, blog, cook, bake, shop, etc...
Lets toast. *cheers
till then ♥
La Maison du Macaron
I've been searching for that Eiffel Tower poster for some time. Thought of hanging it up in my bedroom. Anyone know where i could get it? ...besides Paris.
Tadaaa! These were the ones that i picked out of the many. Passion fruit, Apricot with mixed berries, chocolate and raspberry. The food was served on a doily on a nice silver platter--So French. I ♥ it!!
The outside of this pastry is delicately crisp, the inside is smooth, creamy and light, filling is luscious. It tastes like umm.. a combination of cake, icecream and very light cookie. wtf. ignore me.
I only sampled four flavors because it's ridiculously pricey. It's $2.50 for a tiny macaron (about 1.5 inch in diameter), literally one bite. Well, i think its worth the try though *grin*
Mom thinks Payard is better and said Payard is much more expensive *cry*. I however have not been to Payard before so cant compare.
Our afternoon tea costs around 30 bucks-a cup of coffee, a cup of hot chocolate, four macarons and a danish. Told you i have to save already.
Mom brought sister to Rockefeller since she hasn't been there before. As usual, that place was crowded with tourists from all over the world.
Next stop was at St. Patricks Cathedral- the largest gothic style catholic cathedral in the US.
We had our dinner in one of the famous japanese shops located at Japanese Street called Oh!Taisho. If you are thinking about sushi and sashimi then you are wrong. OH! Taisho is well known for their yakitori. Hmm..thinking of it makes me salivate. The food was as great as usual and most importantly, the food is decently priced.
Time to go to bed.
Till then ♥

What are you craving for!?!?
Eventhough i've never tried it before, but hey that doesnt stop me from adoring and craving for this very pretty and delicious looking french pastry!
This is what i call love at first sight. I am very sure it is gonna taste so good even without having to try it. Even if it tastes horrible, i will still insist that it's delicious. I doubt things that are pretty like this will taste horrible. Most unlikely will happen,right???
So, can some kind hearted soul please tell me where i could get this pretty looking pastry in New York? I promise i will treat you 100 macarons and unlimited cups of coffee for a year if you could do this favor for me. LOLS. I WAS JUST KIDDING, YOU GREEDY LIL PIG! I haven't forgotten about Google!
Which is or are your favorite(s)? OR Which one do you think you would try? As for me, I'll definitely try ALL if possible unless if im broke and cant afford to buy more than two, i'll choose coffee, pistachio, rose petal, mango with jasmine, lily of the valley, raspberry, eh more than two already. wtf!??! i guess i have to start saving for this.
till then ♥

Absolutely adorable song <3
The title of this song is "Mario Kart Love Song" and it is composed by this gentlemen, Sam Hart. Im currently in love with this song so freaking much. Very sweet and catchy. <3
You be my princess and I'll be your toad
I'll follow behind you on rainbow road
Protect you from red shells wherever we goI promise.
Noone will touch us if we pick up a star
If you spin out you can ride in my car
When we slide together we generate sparksin our wheels and our hearts
Chorus: The finish line is just around the bend
I'll pause this game so our love will never end
Let's go again
The blue shell is coming
so I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
it'll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you
Bridge:Don't worry about Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
and they'll all fade away
Chorusx2
to the mushroom cup
and the flower cup
and the star cup
and the reverse cup
walalalalala
walalalalalawaluigiiiiii

What's home to you?
Home is where i feel secure, safe and loved. I can wear whatever i want and behave in whatever manner i want and nobody will judge me for that. In other words, home is a place where i can truly be myself.
Home is a place where i first experienced and learned the meaning of "love". It is a place where i can obtain unconditional love.
Home is where I hear the rapid and noisy clattering of the mahjong tiles as they are shuffled.
Home is a place that will always be stored in my mind, no matter if im far or near from it.
Home is where i share a tiny bedroom with my other two sisters and still feel very comfortable.
Home is the best place to eat.
Home is a wonderful feeling.
When i steped into this grocery store and saw all these snacks, instant noodles, drinks, can food, Malay words printed on the package, etc i felt as though i was back home once again. The smell, the sight, the sound of this place is very nostalgic!
Okay, i am homesick! Yes im pretty sure i am. T_T
PS: Mi Mi snack reminds me of SuetLi and Jamie. If im not mistaken, they used to love em.
PPS: Unlike most of you, im special. I have two homes but the one that i mentioned above and miss most is the home back in Malaysia.
“Home is one's birthplace, ratified by memory.”

The other side of me
dont you just love the colors of this living room? sitting in this living room will definitely brighten up one's day.
Im a big fan of pastel colors. They make everything look so serene and comfortable. Agree with me?
Simple and nice. enough said.
green and brown is not a bad combination after all. This bedroom has a very "earthy" look.
Great idea to recycle tea tins!! Love it and will definitely try doing it.
Ahh...every girl's dream! I guess i will never gonna have a walk in wardrobe as big as this in my life. However, i would want to have a chandelier like the one in the picture for my future house. Chandeliers are pretty!
Definitely gonna have a lovely pink chair like this as well. I wonder where to hunt for a chair like this? simply irresistible.
Till then ♥

Decision-making mode
How are we gonna know which is the right one? If i have to choose one thing over the other, 95% of the time i will tend to choose the wrong one. FML i know. So, looking at my decision-making trend, I have completely lost all my confidence in making a good decision. I think i have now developed decidophobia!
Whatever it is, i still have to choose. Which
Job A : Pays decent but not much of a challenging career. No health benefits hence, not a union job. But, I always have a passion for working with children and working in an environment like that. Main reason to consider this job is because i want to gain experience working in a setting like that so that in future (when i have the opportunity), i can establish an organization similar to that.
Job B : Pays 30% more than job A and it is a union job hence it comes with health benefits. Very challenging job in fact im afraid i'll be overwhelm by it. This company have sponsored OPT applicants before hence i stand a chance to be sponsored too (but not guaranteed). Quite a prestigious company. Relavent to my field and have alot of room to grow.
So how now brown cow? A or B?
Till then ♥

Saturday with the loved ones
That's the entrance to the flea martket. Most of the vendors started packing when we reached.
Should have gone there at noon. Oh well, whatever.
When we reached Hell's Kitchen, mom was extremely hungry. So she suggested that we should eat before we shop. We dined in a nearby restaurant,
Very unsatisfied with their service tho. I bought a Venti Iced Coffee from Starbucks before that and i had less than 10 sips. The waiter doesnt allow me to put it on the table hence he put my coffee away at the bar and PROMISED and reassured me that they will keep it. When we finished, i asked him back for my precious coffee, and he told me that the bartender threw it away! wtf. You have no idea how mad i was! Its not about the money, its about the principle! ugh. That's him on the left in the picture.
I love superboy too ♥
After flea market, mom and sister went their own way. David and I went for movies at Times Square. We watched two movies in a day but we only paid for one movie. How? Just sneaked into another theater after the first one. We planned the time ahead before buying the tickets. How intelligent right?
We watched Bruno and The Hangover. Both were freaking hilarious!!! I like The Hangover more than Bruno eventhough both were equally good. One thing nice about watching movies here in the US is that movies will not be censored at all in theaters. How nice is that?? Anyway, i strongly recommend to watch those two movies. Its a must. You will regret if you dont. Oh wait, if you have to choose one, then ill say watch The Hangover since Bruno will be censored like hell in Msia. I like the quote Bruno made about Osama bin Laden. "Your king Osama looks like a dirty wizard or a homeless santa claus" LMFAO.
Saw a pink limousine on the road at Times Square. Reminds me of Paris Hilton who owns a pink Bentley that i want so badly.
This is how Times Square looks like on a Saturday night. Apparently, it looks like New Year's Eve every Saturday night here. Very interesting eh?
"ObamaCondoms are strong enough to withstand the most rigid assault, light enough to penetrate the deepest trenches, AND they’re Oprah approved!* not really" Should have gotten some and mail it back to my girlfriends back in Msia. Im sure they will appreciate that. lol
After movie, we made a trip to
They were not queueing to enter a fancy restaurant nor waiting for seats, they were waiting to get to the food cart for a plate of hot and yummy chicken and rice. This place reminds me of Lysha Teh! She was the one who introduced us to this amazing place!
I ended my day eating chicken and rice with my loved one at home watching Law and Order: Special Victim Unit. BLISS~
