trick or treat

it was a Sun noon... just as i was STONING in front of my Abnormal Psyc textbook... struggling to REMAIN normal! the DOOR BELL RANG! (neh... contrary to ur expectations of a post on HALLOWEENS... no SUGAR-FRANTIC kids swamped outside my gate)

it was my brother :P

the joker forgot his keys and the gate was locked... so with my PAIN-stricken legs (caused by reasons that i feel... shy... to disclose *blushes*) i went to open the gate for him...

while unlocking the gate...

bro: how long does it take u to bathe?
me: Y?
bro: we're goin to Carl's Jr. so FASTER GO BATHE before i change my mind...
me: YOU pay ar?
bro: ah THEN?
me: *with hands in the air* YIPPEE!!! (i strongly believe that i even SKIPPED :D)
*while hurrying up the stairs*
me: y so sudden?
bro: i got extra money left this month and i'm gettin my pay soon... so... FASTER LA!

thinks to self as i hurry around my room to look for something to wear:
hmm... i have to study... and the nearest Carl's Jr from us is in Pyramid... I NEEDED to study... but i've NEVER eaten in CJ!!! my paper was on TUES!!! but but... my BROTHER's TREATING me!!!

so yea... i went for a lunch that i TOTALLY did NOT regret :D

they actually have the pic of the President and his 1st Lady but dunno which year 1 la.. *shy*
hehe! he's the founder of Carl's Jr and that's his wife la... :P

we had to apply TEAMWORK... cause ar... all the tables were taken except for 1! so bro did the ordering while i sat me bum bum on the smallest and only table we could find :D

while Bro was ordering...
test camera test, testing 1... 2...
3!
think tank: y is our table numbered 94 when there is CLEARLY no 94 tables in the restaurant?
(drop ur answers in the comment k!)

hehe! the FIRST time my bro's treating me le... MUST take a pic to commemorate this AUSPICIOUS day man!

haha! i learnt something new that day! this thingy here is called
the condiment bar! (did u know that?)

dear management of Carl's Jr. should u stumble upon my blog, u should SERIOUSLY consider getting me to be ur SPOKES MODEL! this is why...

the supporting character: Beef Chili Fries (close up)

Beef Chili Fries (with flash)

Beef Chili Fries (overview with flash)

the CONSTIPATED cameraman (told ya he has his ways! :P)

see the blurry effect? it's like DREAMING of eating something heavenly!

the STAR of the day (kinda forgot the name... but i know it has MUSHROOMS! it's the most expensive one in the menu... WHICH I DID NOT PURPOSELY CHOOSE... i just didnt notice the price til my bro told me... *lalala*)
see! i totally understand that as a SPOKES MODEL, MY duty is to make the STAR shine!

*drumrolls for ye spokes model*
the burger is seriously the size of my face! (just to verify that i'm not a JAKUN, i'll camwhore with a McD burger soon :P)

aaAAA... it's so big that u can only bite half the tier with one mouth full!

who say i dont eat GREENS!

u always need a HEALTHY spokes model! :P

*looks at bro* ya meh?? u still look clean... i still feel clean...

*looks at the TABLE*
*blink blink*
it's HIS fault :P
thanks KOKO!!!

back to y i should be Carl's Jr.'s spokes model...

check out my size (not that i'm so SS about it) but i'm RELATIVELY thin la... YET! i could finish ur burger... and half of the beef chili fries! YOU KNOW HOW BIG that thing is rite!!!
as they always say, "ACTIONS speak LOUDER than words"
for Dot to finish ALL of that, without feeling puke-ish...

I SHOULD BE UR SPOKES MODEL! :P
(a gal's gotta TRY :P)

hehe! it was indeed a TREAT!!!

oh BTW! Carl's Jr. claims they serve CHARBROILED burgers... so... what's CHARBROILED?
according to dictionary.com:

verb (used with object)

1.	to cook by direct heat, as on a gridiron over the heat or in an oven under the heat; grill: to broil a steak. There! u've learnt something from dots-thots! :P

EMO AR!!!

i was lookin back at my old posts...

i miss REDANG!!! *sobs*

and the songs playin on my media player arent helping!!!

i miss having my pics and my brain juice jiving together in creating a post that i'm proud of!

my posts are so back dated!!!

i need a HOLIDAY!!! (which is coming soon! :D but NOT soon enuf! =( ROAR!!!)

as of now... i need a HUG!

Eat Out!

Date: Last Sunday
Time: All Day! :D

after church, Pui Yee and gang came to fetch me! and we went to Sushi Groove, Pyramid

Carrere the paparazzi

Dot the SUPERSTAR! erm.. that's Pui Yee... she just HAPPENED to be in the pic... hehe! it was a candid shot... dont even know wat were we laughing about...

the background that caught Yeem's attention (hence the pic)


Carrere and Jow Liie discussing whose hair grown more since the last time we met...

ooH! our weird lookin complimentary dish! tasted yummy tho :D

as depicted on Pui Yee's face :P

Yeem's salad... poor gal... dah la stick thin.. yet she wants to be on a diet... :P

she had a heavy breakfast before our meet up

my YAKINIKU BIBIMBAB! (ooh Liie! i got the name right! cause i saw it in the Korean Restaurant later that nite...)
kinda had a noob moment (cause i'm neither a Blonde nor a Bimbo... :P) when i kinda shouted the name of my dish out loud... *blushes* and all the waiters around laughed *double blushes*


Dessert! (clockwise from top: Black Sesame, Green Tea, WASABI, Green Tea)
guess which flava the ADVENTUROUS Dot took???

hint: i regretted it!!!
i got the WASABI FLAVA!!!

it tasted like... WASABI la! it even gave my tongue the tingling feeling that wasabi gives me... dont get me wrong, i like wasabi... but WASABI ICECREAM is just... WRONG!!!

if u're wondering... why 5 ppl went but so few dishes came out 1?
that's cause we were all hungry, Sony threw tantrums AGAIN! and our dishes looked the same (i think)... so... DIDNT BOTHER la! :P

and.. we took a group pic, which YEEM is in... (if u noticed, she's only mentioned but not published *oops*) the pic's with Liie tho... will get it when i see her online nx time k!

and CAROL joined us later! for that, Pui Yee deserves a ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!! cause if u noticed, Carol NEVER attends our meet ups! Carol's absent list:

my bday (2007)
Liie's late bday celebration (Jan 2008)

fine.. i know the list aint that long la... BUT AR!!! we only had 3 meet ups since Em's farewell... and she missed 2... get my point??

so yes! ONCE AGAIN! a round of applause to miss Leong Pui Yee for a job WELL DONE for gathering ALL the remaining antiques! :D

no pic of Carol too... cause she was LATE! and the crowd in Pyramid just robbed us of our camwhore-ness la...

note to the Management of Pyramid: Hang that "STAFF ONLY" sign at ur entrance when Dot & Friends are in the House k! :P

Later that Day, EVENING we call it...

my family celebrated Daddy's 56th bday with KOREAN BBQ!!! (dont drool Jo! :P)

Soup... i agree with mom, Chinese soup taste better!
HOWEVER, i like miso soup too! :D

Pork Belly... was quite dry... but we used the sauce they provided... so still OK!

*slurp* hmm... *slurps MORE* :P

then daddy ordered some side dishes...

fried rice... this one not as nice...

dad ordered a noodle thingy too, which was soO good that by the time i tot of takin a pic of it... it was FINISHED! :D

made in KOREA!

Family pic #1: i likee our smiles here... but... the restaurant owner just HAD to stand so near the desk thingy... and my flash just HAD to reflect -.-

so... we took...
family pic #2: the lady stood closer to the desk this time... 3/4 of us still look good... but my sesat-ed bro... AIH... he somehow has his way in lookin CONSTIPATED... :P
u'll understand why when i get the pics from my Uncle's bday dinner... (he doesnt read my blog :P)

hmm..
a shoutout to Jo Koo: Korean BBQ's DIFFERENT WITHOUT U... I MISS YOU!!! *sobs*

(this ^ is green)

Treadmill

FINALLY!!! i is done with ALL my assignments!

but i have 2 quizzies and my FINALS to do... and i'll be FREE!!! :D

i cant wait... i cant wait... I CANT WAIT!!!!

anyways.. this post aint about me (well... the important part aint bout me la... :P)

the about me part: (this post is 2 days behind time... thanks to my assignment!) i had a dizzy spell on me on tues :( didnt get to do anything that night (thank God it happened at night.. if morn... then i would have missed class!) *ok Dot... get to ur POINT! :P*

so yes.. the dizzy spell... i lied in bed... practically all nite la.. couldnt really sleep... then i thot.. hmm.. i should BLOG about this... so my readers can SAYANG me... :P NO!! this blog aint about getting love.. i'm not that desperate la :P YES! I'M GETTIN TO MY POINT!!! :P

then i tot... wat should i title this post? my ideas:-
1. walking on clouds (cause i was all floaty... but then again... i wasnt really in love... u know how they associate clouds to being in love... so NEH... NEXT!)
2. walking on a TREADMILL (erm... NOPE! i didnt see the connection ANYWHERE!)

BUT!!!

more tots came...

the NOT about Dot part :P :

life is associated to a race... (well.. if u didnt know that... YES! life is usually associated to a RACE... SEE! u always learn something reading Dot's blog :P) u can choose to run it.. or walk it...

and DEATH is your finishing line... (we'll all be rewarded according to how we've ran our race)

HOWEVER... in this Race, u're not running against other runners... instead... u are running against YOURSELF! (pushing yourself towards the finishing line, perseverance we call it!)

but...

how often is it that we get frustrated and worn out because it seemed like we've done so much and tried so hard... only to realise that we're still back at SQUARE ONE!

you run and run and RUN...

but when u look around you (at the problems you face) NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

then you look down...

and you see THIS!


u've been running on a TREADMILL all these while!

been there? done that? how did/would u feel?

U scream out in anger! cry out in disappointment! regret! feel cheated... *the emo list goes on*

but WAIT!

think deeper, look further, listen closely...

a Voice is saying...

altho it seems like u've gone NOWHERE...

look at your legs dear, look at the MUSCLES u've built!

check out your STAMINA!

sometimes in this race called LIFE, we're placed on a TREADMILL... as a training ground for us...

Yes... it's difficult... ask any athlete... did their medal come easy?

Treadmill seasons make our legs stronger, so we DONT stumble easily in our race...
Treadmill seasons increase our stamina, so we CAN run FURTHER and LAST LONGER!
the tougher your Treadmill Season is, the further and longer u can run!
so...

PRESS ON! dont give up!

cause...

one day my friend, u'll reach your finishing line...


one day my friend, u'll receive your DIAMOND STUDDED medal! (what's Gold then? ;) )



till that day comes my friend, i'll run along with you and cheer u on! =)

Wonder(s) of Dot

Wonder #1: the BIGGEST fryin thingamajig ever seen by Dot!

mom bought a thingamajig used for fryin today...

Why is it a wonder besides being BIG? u may ask...

well... for something to be a WONDER to Dot, it definitely needs to fit some REQUIREMENTS...

requirements check list:
#1. must catch Dot's attention (DUH! how can i wonder about something when i dont even know it ever existed? :P)
#2. actually that's basically it la... cause ar... once something catches Dot's attention, the rest is what we call INSPIRATION! (Dot's BACK! *everybody says... WOOHOO!*)

lets take a closer look at the Wonder shall we?
it can be used for defense!
a handy tool for guys that mite wanna impress others but dont have the money to buy a real guitar!!! (guitar sound effects may be projected by a hidden device, aka ur HANDPHONE)

the SATISFACTION gained from 1 MOUTHFUL off this "spoon" is just beyond human imagination

can even do sports with this thing le! :P

hehe! this were all the things i could think of in the spur of the moment... and my bro would have thrown the camera at me if i went on with my CREATIVITY! :P

more Wonder(s) coming your way! (i hope) :P
