Ho Chiak (part 1)

After our mid terms, we headed down south to the land of History and FOOD! :D

went down in 2 cars cause there were 7 of us.

in Chem's car which was driven by Yung, there were 4 of us (Yue, Dot, Chem, and of course... Yung)

in Joseph's car was Sab, Leonard and Joseph.

we left KL after church, so by the time we reached there, our tummies were SCREAMING for food! :P

Lunch Time: we had porridge and fried wanton! ooh.. YUMMY!
but the porridge did leave us rather thirsty tho...

Yung had a plan that after each meal, we'd go for FRUITS! cause he doesnt want us to get constipated. HEH!

so we walked to the nearest fruit stall available. but i think that's the only fruit stall.. cause i didnt see anymore along our journey.

poor joseph didnt have a partner... so we gals decided to take a pic with him la.. altho he isnt smiling... but i bet he was THRILLED! :P

ah hah! so here are the couples! Leonard+Sab, Yung+Chem, and the sumbang couple... Yue+Dot*! (we kinda have an identity crisis... cause i have short hair, yet i'm the "girl" :P)

*well.. Nick couldnt make it.. that's y i'm his ganti la.. (adds more to the crisis doesnt it? :P)

oh well! but we're the sweetest couple la.. cause we didnt sa-fah-cheong :P

after eating, we checked into our hotel- the GRAND Continental... heh! sounds very GRAND hoh?
sigh...

but at least they have a pool!
that's wat u think!
but dont they look happy here?

ever heard about not judging a book by its cover?

*gals thinking* do we really have to do this? the water tastes EEKY!

but i like this pic! :D

just in case u were wondering, i wasnt in the pool cause it slipped my ears that i was supposed to bring my swimming suit. well... good thing i didnt rite? if not where got pics?! :P

after everybody showered.. and i tried to steal a nap (cause i got headache :( ) we went to..
hehe! not very clear hoh the words... it's Jonker Walk :D

in less than 20 steps...

hehe! we saw this uncle selling carrot cake and pumpkin cake (the chinese ones)
we tried the pumpkin one.. and surprisingly, it was yummy! so we bought more :D
it's the 1st pitstop we made while we were jonker-walking la :P

Jo Lynn told me Jonker Gallery sells many nice long necklaces (something which i'm a sucker for *HINT* :P) the thing was... she didnt mention WHICH JONKER GALLERY it was!! cause there were at least 5 jonker galleries at Jonker Walk.. -.-

but finally we went in to 1 that looked like it.. didnt buy any necklaces tho.. cause i didnt spot any one that screamed my name :P
but we got this pic! :D
it would have been nice if it was clearer -.- but i still like it :D

as we came out, i saw this hole thru the wall...

hehe! dont know if it's for walking thru.. cause it's quite small.. it didnt seem comfortable to walk thru la.. but i just had to do it :P
this is me fav pic arrangement! :D
we had popiah for our 2nd makan pitstop :P

i like this pic toO! it looks like 3 crazy gals are posing for the camera.. and a passerby (Leonard) is just wondering wat's wrong with gals these days! teehee!

pitstop no.3! EM! this is the place where we had the Nyonya laksa last time.. but we didnt have laksa this time tho... cause we were SCHEDULED (by our tour director.. hehe.. cheh wah! Yung) for laksa the next morning.
so we had the cendol instead! sigh... the durian cendol was YUMMY!! and i LOVE the gula melaka!! YUM YUM YUM!!!

after dessert, more walking and MORE food! :P

pitstop #4! (i didnt even realise we made that many stops until now :P) we had Instant Dim Sum! hehe! not very nice tho.. it was quite hard.. but i shouldn't compare with those served in restaurants :P

the art of Multiplication... (guess wat's the similarity we share)

hint: first there were two... then there were 5! teehee! dont u love me Sab? :P
hehe! more couple shots :P

:D SCB returns so Malacca!

with an addition of course! hehe!

this Chem ar.. 1st she was so excited about taking a pic being in the hole on the wall.. (malacca ppl must have some fettish for holes.. 1st there was a hole thru the wall on the walkway... now there's this hole in the wall! :S anyways!) now that she got into the wall.. she looks upset.. hehe!

hehe! and that was the end of our day! =)

we didnt take much pics this time cause our goal was to eat AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! hehe! as seen in the title :P

Ho Chiak! (part 2)

couldnt help it (having 2 parts)... altho we didnt take that many pics (in comparison with the 1000s i took with my antiques) we still took quite a lot of pics despite it being a MAKAN trip la :P


SunDown :D
pretty aint it?
it's quite a wasted shot tho.. cause we could have went down the car to get a clearer pic... WHAT WERE U THINKING DOT?! (somehow my mind was telling me QUICK! got MANY cars waiting for us!! when there wasnt really ANY -.-)
oh well, this is the best shot la.. after quite a lot of editing :P


naturally after sundown.. ppl eat dinner la... so we did!
took the advice from Foo to combine my pics... it's pretty tempting to combine all my pics...
(had to do it with powerpoint tho! sad i know.. cause i'm 1 of those that's photoshop illiterate la.. :P)

but some pics just have to be given some EMPHASIS! :P

it also depends wat story the pic tells i guess :D

like random shots can be combined la.. :D

poser pics will be given a certain amount of priority ;)

Chem has a camera sensor somewhere in her head... she somehow knows when to turn and face the camera! guess it runs in the TAN blood :P

btw, we had Satay Celup =)

u've heard of supper after dinner... some ppl find that UNHEALTHY d...

heh! now i present to u... the meal that's AFTER dinner... yet BEFORE supper
what should we call it?

DinPer? SupNer?

hmm.. who thot of BrUnch ar? smart word!

anyways! coming back to our 4 and 1/2 meal of a "fiscal" day :P

guess the aunty heard that we had dinner already.. so she took awhile to prepare our meal...
hehe! while waiting for our food...
yes! the meal took THAT long to come :P

Yue: can finish ar all the food?
*view picture below for answer*
the lamb soup was Yummy-licious!! :D

heh! now we progress to SUPPER!
i think this pic is by far the best arranged one!
(Foo! arent u proud of me? :P)

oh yes! Supper was OoChien!! *scoops drool* :P
note: it was yummy cause there were LOTS of tasty eggs!
(yes.. we eat oochien cause of the eggs... and NO... we dont want plain fried eggs... it's DIFFERENT! :P)

*snooze*

in the morning, while brushing my teeth... i had the urge of drinking "Cham" from Old Town Kopitiam (cause we've been passing it VERY regularly thru out our stay.. which was only one nite in Malacca) but i didnt mention anything cause i was afraid of the...
"HELLO! we're in MALACCA!!! SIAO ar go OTK?!"

but Jesus Loves me!!!

on our way out for breakfast... nearing OTK...

Yung: Let's have coffee at OTK

Dot: *thinks* YAHOO!!! :D

this OTK is rather special, cause it's in a building that stands alone, aka a bungalow la..
they have 1 like that in PJ Old Town, but i've yet to visit it =)

This OTK is still special cause it's a collaboration between OTK and CIMB.
Dot's DOTTY thot: neither 1 can afford the rental of the whole bungalow :P

hehe! check out the eyebags! :P

my "Cham" and Joseph in the background

Yung, the ah-pek in the making :P

hehe! who knew morning faces could look this HAWT :P

some said the drawing on the drink is a defect Heart...
i say, it's a BUTTERFLY!
sometimes in life... u've just gotta be positive! look at things from different angles, and you'll be in for a surprise, a good one of course ;)

so that was coffee and tea...

lets get some REAL food shall we?

looks like they selll some western food rite?


but looks can be deceiving!

we or should i say I.. was quite jakun-fied that the entrance required us to walk up!
i dunno why.. but i still find it interesting that it's such a small place, yet they made a stairway for us to go up. and the whole place just looks cuter cause it's all bright yellow! :D

yum yum YUM!!!
bad idea to be posting this now.. cause i'm HUNGRY!!! *slurps*
(wanted the cam to focus on the sambal.. but it chose the eggs -.-)

Fruit Rojak!
(this one worse! it's BLUR!! pfft! no offence but i officially dislike canon point-and-shoots)

while we were enjoying all these, Leonard was not feeling well... cause was unknown tho..
that's why he's not here.

we left Malacca after breakfast cause it started raining, only to find ourselves in yet another eventful journey... but let us keep that in the city of history shall we? ;)

So Unbelievable!!!

just when i thot.. "oh dear... what am i gonna blog about what happened at 4pm when we didnt take any pictures?" (no pics because we went KARAOKE!! and the room was dark.. malas to use flash la.. actually.. i was just malas -PERIOD- :P) then it HAPPENED!!!

have you ever had one of those moments where you are just SOOOOO tempted to curse to release ALL the tension you felt??

ok.. maybe some of you dont really care about cursing that u can make a sentence out of your Gen-Y vocab.. or maybe some of you might ask... "Curse? what's that? can eat 1 ar?"
so this leaves me on no-man's-land... i'm actually tempted to curse from time to time.. maybe cause to scream would attract lots of attention... but a soft S*** or F*** wouldnt be so loud and yet be able to remove the tension...

HOWEVER!!! lets get back to the story...

after karaoke, we couldnt go for dinner cause Foo Joe, my kind transporter (must give some credit la.. if not next time he dont wanna fetch me :( ) had to go home to study for tomorrow's paper... so i went to ta-pau McDs lo...

paid... took the stuff... went to see the shoes Joy eyed on... and went home...

could you see where this is heading to?

it's alright... cause i NEVER saw it coming!!!
(btw... this was the moment when it crossed my mind that i didnt have any pics to blog about 4pm)

all excited about my dinner... (cause i wanted to eat me Spicy Chicken McDeluxe HOT)

i opened the bag, saw the fries...

Dot: WHERE's MY BURGER!!??
Dot *THINKS*: @@!@$#$#$#^#%@%#^%@@^@#@%&
Dot: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! *breathes* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
took out the receipt to call McDs Sunway, but those jokers didnt pick up!!!

I REALLY couldnt believe i paid the RM 11.65 only to bring home a bottle of mineral water and some yucky fries!!!

my mom and grandma couldnt stop laughing...
good thing my dad and bro arent around!! (but chances are i'll tell my bro anyways.. it's different when i tell him personally than if he reads it here.. cause if i told him, he could laugh right at my face... but if he read it, he'll have to look for me 1st to laugh at my face.. so HOPEFULLY by then he'll forget :P)

note to self: CHECK all bags to make sure the stuff bought are in it!!! ROAR!!!

He's Herr-Mann

i just had to do it!!!
this was wat i was thinkin about last nite when i was reading up for my Leadership paper today :P

The Whole Brain Theory says that our brains are "separated" into 4 quadrants: A,B,C and D
each quadrant represents a different thinking mode:-
A: Analytical thinking
B: Sequential thinking
C: Interpersonal thinking
D: Imaginative thinking

and this Theory is founded by none other than William Hermann (get it? Hermann... Her Man! *teehee*)

maybe someday i should name my son Mye-Mann! to give him the perfect name.. i'll marry a guy with the surname "So" the full name of my son will be...

Mye-Mann So Han Sum
*holds in siok-sendiri-ed laugther :P*

hehe! on a not-so-wu-liao-ed note...
my midterms ENDED!!! WOOHOO!!! i so felt like singin out loud (like how they do in broadways) when i was walking out of my college... but then i realise the sky was pretty dark.. so didnt dare risk it la :P

i have 24 hours to celebrate my temporarily found freedom (ROAR! assignments are due in 10 days time... ROAR!!!)
cant wait for 4pm! :D
will blog about it later! :D

Mamma I'm A Big Gurl Now!

i'm not sayin that in a rebellious-i-wanna-have-things-my-way kinda way...
but i really did something i think my mom will be proud of!!!

i WRAPPED my own textbook!!!

as seen in the picture :D

see the glossiness of the cover?

ah... such a beauty!!!

altho it was pretty much a struggle... *lalala*

but it was worth it la... cause a wrapped textbook sells for a HIGHER 2nd hand price :P

i know... after so long.. and all i blog about is me wrapping my textbook mite not be enuf to satisfy ur cravings for Dot..

but but but...

i got exams coming up!! and lots of assignments due too!!

ROAR!!

*buries self in books (the one i JUST wrapped!!)* :D

Home Sweet Home

this post is 1 day late.. but since i have nothing to blog about at the moment, i'll blog bout this *teehee*

as some of you mite know, my parents sent my popo back to Ipoh on Mon noon, leaving me home alone (for a few hours only tho cause my bro comes home after work)

i always thot i enjoyed the occasional alone time i have with the house.. it makes me feel grown up (which i'm supposed to be la.. sigh.. but that another story! :P)

mon was still alrite cause while waiting for news about my kong kong, i did accounts.. had lunch and then watched Horton Hears A Who?! which i happen to like! i think i REALLY like Dr. Seuss' work, the narration of the movies made based on his books are SO COOL! the narration's done in rhymes!

so ya.. back to the story...

then came tues morn..
it's as if that my tues blues arent bad enuf (with the fact that i have ACCOUNTS!!! it's getting better tho)
i woke up, already feeling down cause i dont want to go to coll...
i had to wake up to an empty house! :( (well, my bro was around la.. but he's dead asleep! -.-)
the house was so quiet.. for a second, i felt like crying...
but the thot of Sandra coming to pick me up made me hurry up cause i tend to stone for MINUTES!! :P

classes werent that bad..

we marked our accounts assignments.. did pretty well, Thank You Jesus! =)
then noon class.. we did was we usually do.. NOTHING! heh!

Sandra fetched me home too cause daddy said they'll only leave Ipoh at 4.30 pm.. classes end at 4! :S

Once again, i had to go back to an empty house.. this time, it was REALLY empty!
bro went to work and i didnt have the usual excited shouts of "Dory Cheh Cheh(s)" to greet me when i opened the door... that's the thing... I HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR!!! (i usually just open the grill :P) *emo*
glad i had Yeem chat with me online (THANKS GAL! =) )

then i watched Wild Hogs (i love my laptop! :P)

2 hours passed and finally i hear the oh-so-familiar-it-sounds-like-a-small-plane's-landing-sound of my dad's car!!

=)

if you were too lazy to read the whole story (SHAME ON YOU!!!) just read this,
Dot's Thot: A house is truly just a building no matter how beautiful, it's the people in it that makes it a home; those people are called FAMILY =)

Cherish them because u'll never know if one day u mite have to walk into an empty house ;)

It's a Wrap!

In conjunction of GTYC's CNY celebration, we were blessed to have the CHS Chinese orchestra come perform for us!

i must say they did a very good job! considering that they are TEENS of the 21st century!! i'm really proud to see them playing the Er Hu and keeping the tradition alive!

well done! =)

they did 4 songs.. but 1 more still in the process of uploading to youtube.. so i'm just posting the 2 CNY songs before Chap Goh Meh passes!

2 more hours!! collect as much ang paus while u still can!! :P

What a Wake Up Call

this morning, we really got a bad wake up call when my aunt told us that my kong kong mite not make it because he was complaining of being dizzy and weak, saying that he's gonna pass and asking to see my popo for the very last time cause he thinks he's gonna die.. it's always scary when old ppl say that, because it seems like they know when their time's up...

mom and dad had to rush to send popo back to ipoh.. whereas i had to stay home to finish my accounts assignment (pathetic i know).

thankfully by noon, i got news from my cousin that kong kong's fine. They rushed him to the hospital.. my aunt had to go into the ambulance (now as much as it would be some experience to BLOG about... that's one car that i DO NOT want to ride in! dont think i could bear with the anxiety of sitting beside a loved one as i watch him/her fight for his/her life...)

The doc said that my kong kong's sugar level dropped.. that's why he had those scary symptoms.
The ward docs will be back tmr (after the Thaipusam break) and they will check on my kong kong. Hopefully they will give us good new too!

Thanks to all my dear cellies for praying along with me!
and also to my sweeties that have been encouraging me!
Love u all to Bits!! MUAX!

Tay Jo's 19th Birthday

I just like having surprises for Jo.. she's always so blur that she'd never expect ANYTHING! :D

but 1 thing that NONE of us expected of the surprise (which was also what prompted me to take the video...) THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG PLAYED BY THE CAFE!! it was FARNIE!! out of the blue they just played the song.. and all of us were stunned :D

this vid is to u gal!

Happy Birthday!

xoxo!

A RED Packet for the Season =)

here are some snapshots taken by my bro too... when my lappie came =)



this was when he realised he should take a vid :D

after the all time favourite "ENOUGH LA" (shy) i had a series of firsts! :D


hehe! my FIRST time switching my FIRST lappie on :D

the same evening,
we went to Puchong for dinner (been goin there-cousin's place alot cause staying at home for the hols on CNY is just INTOLERABLE!! :D)

i had 3 sessions of Lou Sang this year!
dont really fancy the taste of it, i just like the process of tossing it :D and picking out the fish :P
but this year's Lou Sang sessions, only 1 of the 3 had fish! -.-

this is why i dont like being the camera person...
i dont get to be in the pictures!! :(

but it's always rewarding to get pics of smiles! :D

and clear ones too! :D

heh! an attempt to get a sexy shot of me new lappie.. noticed i've still not gotten a name for it?
sigh... suggestions anybody?
dang! shouldnt have given Sexy to my bro's lappie...
but then again... my lappie's not sexy... it's more of HOT.. cause if its redness i think :P
ROAR! *puts on thinking cap*
now i kinda undestand the stress parents go thru to name their child...

the next day, we travelled up north to Ipoh!
this time i was REALLY determined to have Dim Sum, so determined that i only took pics of Dim Sum for my whole trip to Ipoh... *lalala*



i took a pic of this cause this is the 1st time i'm seeing clam/oyster/i-have-no-idea-what-shellfish-is-this served as dim sum!
didnt try it tho, cause me no fan of shellfish besides Lala :D

and that was the end of my CNY hols :(
