First week back in Klang

17th of May, yeap that's the day when I stepped out from my university life, the day when my student's life is officially called off. No more continuous flow of unfinishing assignments and projects, no more lazing hours and lazing days, no more carefree hanging out session without worrying lapse of time, no more innocent crapping and laughing sessions without worrying how tomorrow should come... responsibility of a student is offcially layed off here, and it's also the time to turning on a new leaf, marching towards the next level of my life.

It has been a series of tedious and uncertain interview sessions ever since I made my early trip back. Many thanks to the slightly better economy turn-out, things seem to look brighter than my last year's internship application period. At the very least, there is a path and direction for me to move forward.

There's a thought behind my mind.. Having my fingers crossed.. Hoping the best for my career path, and the same goes to my fellow coursemates, wishing the best for all of us in our job hunting outcomes. God bless~

Well anyway, before our real working life creeps in, let's say HELLOooOOOooOOOoo TO TAIWAN 1st!! Hope we'll have a safe, enjoyable and memorable trip!! Let's have a blast one for this and see you all around then!!

The update:
a1l1n's signing off to Taiwan from 25th May..
to... *XXX date*

Ikan Bakar at Kelombong

Familiar with the sign? Yeah, a place which is famous for their Ikan Bakar ^^ As the restaurant name sounds, the place is situated at Kelombong, where I guess almost every students in UMS or perhaps everyone at Sabah have come across with it for a long long time ago.

Kelombong Restaurant at Kelombong XD

And this is the ikan bakar or burnt fish that I've mentioned ^^

Hehe.. so far this is the best ikan bakar that I've ever tried in Sabah.. gonna be real missing it after back to Peninsular XD lurve especially the sauce much, sweet and nice~ You may always request for more sauces from the stall. They have also 锅贴, chicken wing and satay there, but normally that is how we order - Ikan Bakar from the stall, baby kailan, claypot tofu, rice and barli drinks from the Kelombong Restaurant~ ^^ It costs around RM20/fish, depending on the type and the size that you choose. This place is best dine in with group of friends ^^

累

早上没睡好
中午匆忙了一整天
只能用一个字来形容
“累”

当看到同样的事情发生又发生
只能用三个子来形容
“累” 即 “无言”

对于其中的哪件事情都好
决定了 就继续走下去吧
厌恶现在的生活

爱玲
想要新生活

Lip Ice

After browsing from the net, there only I realize that Mentholatum Lip Care products was actually the best selling Lip Care lines in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and even in Indonesia~!!

Pondering at its wide range of fruity flavours, from grapes, strawberry, lemon, peach to apple, a1l1n have just realized that I've actually had tried them all, except for the unknown blue colour flavour Lip Ice~ *proud* XD

Well, gotta say it is also solely due to its special mint cooling effect, Lip Ice have been my favourite choice compared to any other lip care products in the market. Moreover it's in a lipstick form! Judging from the point that stick is always much better and easier to use than liquid form, Lip Ice had been my best companion especially during my doom days in first and second year of uni life, where my lips were always in supercritical sensitive condition back then. Rather than its nourishing effect, Lip Ice had become a necessary protective shield to me in my daily routine to be more exact.

So why am I blogging this out of the blue?

... cuz dunno since when, my lips have back to my last-time condition!!!! Days with lip ice, has again come into my life..

I want my lips back!!! *shouting out loud*

Even when I'm typing this, my strawberry Lip Ice is here standing by me, nourishing my aching lips... but the thing is..

.. guess it is time for a new one again...

Life has never been more miserable without Lip Ice..and my suffering days would herein start from today.. =(

大排档 at Lido

After four years at Sabah, only we found out this very nice 大排档 at Lido.. got Peninsular feel and taste, nice nice and highly recommended for sure ^^ The only con of it ? It is kinda TOO FAR from Kingfisher ><

Crowded with people especially during dinner time

You may catch this just at the corner of the shoplots..
So what so special about it?

well, a1l1n lurve its TomYam.. sour and spicy ^^

Stroll along the shoplots, you may find variety of foods that you may be craving throughout all these years at Sabah.. By the way, they have Ikan bakar too, but to a1l1n, I still feel Kelombong's Ikan bakar is tastiest so far XD So let's see what we have the other day...

.. yummy chicken rice..

..Quite-not-bad Ice Kacang.. come perfect especially during these hot hot days *not the "hot hot" in Human show alright* XD

... Hehe lastly, sizzling..

Those craving for sizzling, sorry to say but personally, that sizzling was kinda too salty to me, not really recommended.. it's from another corner of the shoplots.. yaiks.. like tarnishing their name pulak hahaha but I believe the frank comments from the customer always important right =) Hehe after all, for those who have transport in Sabah, do give it a try there lolx.. cuz overall it's rating quite not bad to dine in, if you were to say nice 大炒 food at Sabah larr ^^

Although we've yet to taste all the food at Sabah, have yet to travelled all the places at Sabah, have yet to do all the must-to-do things in Sabah, to me, always the companion that does matter~

And to a1l1n...

C3A.. You people rockz~!!!

Some lil' confessions to fellow C3A~
Having you all as the companions throughout these years was a bless to me and getting to know you all is the greatest thing ever in this uni life ^^ Having my fingers crossed, hopefully after graduation, still we would be keeping in touch always~ Remember to update your facebooks always, don't register already and freeze dry it there; update your blogs always; song song sms har each other, call har each other, ajak har each other, don't act busy there everyday every minute and every seconds XD and above of all, *ehm ehm* If there is always a gathering once in every one or two years then jau super duper good lorrrr....

One of the recent photos when out with juniors *so ngam in my laptop haha*

Coconut Pudding and Lokam near IP

Went to Gerai Sri Cahaya to have coconut pudding and Lokam with my fellow coursemates, roadside stalls further up from IP area.

The insignificant signboard

How the dining place look like

Clams that we had or we name it as Lokam

It may look kinda yucky at first sight, second or maybe even the third sight? haha but trust me, the sauce that they use to roast the Lokam just fit right in~ If you are afraid of its characteristic smell or taste, dip the flesh with the given chilli sauce, it taste superb~ Well, not every stall offers nice Lokam though, personally the one at Sri Cahaya taste just kinda not bad!! =P Every stall would display these Lokam in front of their stall, you may simply select your desired Lokam there and they will directly roast it for you. Serving hot, RM 7 for smaller size Lokam while RM10 for the bigger one, each bunch would have around 18-25 clams.

Peers that have been accompanying me to walk through this four-year uni life at Sabah

Featuring was the famous coconut pudding, a very special desert from the stall, selling at RM 4 each~ If you're afraid of its too-big portion, you may always opt for the glass coconut pudding, where the pudding comes in a glass instead, selling at RM2 each~ Anyway, personally I still prefer the pudding comes with the coconut itself, you may scrap the coconut flesh after enjoying your pudding too~ ^^

Peppermint Chicken Rice, Asia City

Heard this from a KK friend, and initially I thought it to be very special and interesting cuz.. "peppermint" chicken rice? How would a chicken with peppermint flavour in it taste like? To a1l1n, Gosh.. this definitely is a must-to-try meal before I back to Peninsular~

~A Vietnamese type of chicken rice~ Peppermint Chicken Rice~

~Heard it to have three branches, Gaya street, Asia city and Karamunsing respectively~

~ The interior of the restaurant~ simple but clean~

~Personally it gave me the feel of just like any other ordinary Malay restaurant design~ *As to kill our time.. We were guessing that lady customer was from South America.. don't ask me why XD*

~The well laminated and ring binded menu~

~So the spicy chicken rice was the target =) due to we prefer thigh than the chicken breast, one whole thigh was chosen instead, of course at a higher rate too~

~Here comes the rice, the butter smells nice, and the portion is not big, just nice for gurls~ As for guys, they may always add another bowl of rice at only RM 0.50/bowl~

~ Here comes our crispy One Whole Thigh~ I love the sauce, it tastes real special, spicy yet sweet and salty~ Well, RM 6.50 for a thigh, rice and soup~ For KK citizens, standard lahh~ ><

So, after the long-winded post, I just wanna share with you one very true fact that many people may as well get misunderstood *just like me* at the very first place...

Common..."Peppermint" of the "peppermint chicken rice" IS JUST A NAME larr~!! Where the hell would chicken rice to have peppermint taste in it~ wake up larr~ ><

-From my another KK friend-
==

Well, as a matter of fact, none of the menu offered has any relation to peppermint, not even the beverages, so why peppermint shop? I dunno.. dun ask me why.. perhaps the owner loves peppermint? but still.. why peppermint but no any peppermint dishes is offered in the shop.. 本とにぜんぜんわからない ><"

Anyway, gotta say even though it's not a peppermint tasted chicken rice, they do have their speciality, a completely different kind from any chinese chicken rice style that we have tasted~And the important thing is.. quite not bad ^^

~まず、Tori Teriyaki with.. my lurvely Salmon~!!! RM 45.90 (before 30% off)~ Remarks: This main menu comes with chawanmushi, rice, vege and soup ^^ The salmon is darn thick~!! Mouthful feels ^^ but if and only if they put ice below it (just like how Yuzu did) or froze it for longer period, then it would be just P.E.R.F.E.C.T.~!! Cuz the salmon was kinda too soft =( defrost too long d perhaps =(( Btw, the chawanmushi and misou soup taste really nice~!! a1l1n lurve it too~!! ^^

~As for the FREE side dish~ we have chosen this tofu~ ^^

~ Remarks: this one is N.I.C.E too~!!!!!!!!!!!! Fried Japanese tofu~ Believe me, the crust smells great! Hard outside, soft inside, serving hot with its sauce, the taste of this is just impeccable ^^

~Mussels with Mayo~ RM 13.90 ~

Remarks: hehe.. this one taste not bad too ^^ May try it if you lurve seafood~ hehe the Mayo has removed the characteristic smells of the Mussels, so don't worry much~ うまい ~!! ^^

~Last but not least, every customer who dine in Fukurou Restaurant would get this pudding for FREE~ My God~~~!! This pineapple pudding taste just so freaking NICE~~!! How wish I could get another one ><

That's all from me~ Guess I'm really a Japanese food lover.. Monday only gone for sushi, and thursday went for Japanese food again XD Well, due to only two-person dining in, the food ordered wasn't that much~ However, gotta say Fukurou seriously is quite an up-to-standard Japanese Restaurant to dine in. Comfortable, simple, nice food with great price!! Those who haven't try it, I would highly recommend you to give it a try~ And apply for its member's card ^^ The above meal just caused us RM 53.95 after tax if you're interested to know XD Ow yar, not forgetting also the staff there are really friendly.. Indeed had a great time dining in there ^^

Lurve.. Puppy Lurve

Infatuation discourages any real disagreements from taking place. Both the couples are on their best behavior during all the time t spend together. Anything that could cause a discrepancy to the idea of a perfect relationship is avoided. Everything is perfect, and no one wants to mess that up.

Love allows people to be who they really are. While arguments aren’t encouraged, they happen. Sometimes they happen a lot, especially in times of stress. Love is admitting that your partner has faults, and so do you, but that is okay. You have realistic expectations of each other. Love is accepting.

Infatuation can be equalized to Puppy love too. It differs from true love in the sense of emotional maturity and experience. Puppy love is more of a surface-level infatuation or unrequited crush, while true love is a deeper emotional desire to connect with another person on a number of levels. While an infatuation or puppy love could eventually evolve into true love as time goes on, but it often fades away as other romantic options emerge.

Just a random post~

不是男朋友的男朋友

每个女生心里都有一个不是男朋友的男朋友
你们可能相爱过，你们也可能喜欢着彼此，
但是，为了什么原因你们没能在一起？
也 许他为了朋友之间的义气，不能追你。
也许为了顾及家人的意见 ，你们没有在一起。
也许为了自己的前程，她没有要你等她。

也许你们相遇太早，
还不懂得珍惜对方。

也许你们相遇太晚，
你们身边已经有了另一个人。

也 许你回头太迟，
对方已不再等待。

也许你们彼此在捉摸对方的心，
而迟迟无法跨出界线。

不过即使你们没在一起，
你们还是保持了朋友的关系。

但是你们心底清楚，
对这个人，你比朋友还多 了一份关心。

即使不能跟他名正言顺的牵着手逛街，
你们还是可以做无所不谈的朋友。

她有喜欢的人，你口头上会帮他追，
心里却不是很清楚你是不是真的希望她追到。

她遇到困难时，
你 会尽你所能的帮她，
不会计较谁又欠了谁。

男女朋友吃醋了，
你会安抚他们说你和她只是朋友，
但你心中会有 那么一丝的不确定。

每个人这辈子，
心中都有过这幺一个特别的朋友，
很矛盾的行为。

一开始你不甘心只做朋友的，
但 久了，突然发现这样最好。

你宁愿这样关心她，
总好过你们在一起而有天会分手。

你宁愿做她的朋友，
彼 此不会吃醋，才可以真的无所不谈。

特别是这样，
你还是知道，
她永远会关心你的。

做不成男女朋友，
当她那个特别的朋友，
有什么不好呢？

你心中的这个特别的朋友...? 是谁呢？

很多的感情，
都因为一厢情愿，
最后连朋友都当不成了

常常觉得惋惜，
可惜一些 本来很好的友情

最后却因为对方的一句喜欢你，
如果你没有反应，这一段友情似乎也难以维持下去，
这也难怪有些人会因 此不肯踏出这一步。

因为这就像是一场赌注，
表白了之后不是成了男女朋友，
要不就连朋友都当不成了。

有 些事不是你能预料的，或许对方不在意，
你们还可以是朋友，但却已经不如从前的......

关于爱情：
不要认为后面还有更好的，因为现在拥有就是最好的。
不要认为我还年轻，可以晚些结婚，爱情是不等年龄 的。
不要因为距离太远而放弃，爱情是可以和你一起坐火车的。
不要 因为对方不富裕而放弃，只要不是无能的人，勤劳可以让你们致富。
不要因为父母反对而放 弃，你会发现这个原因而放弃的爱情，将是你一生的悔恨。
其实，对于爱情，越单纯越幸福！一生只谈一次恋爱是最好的。经历的太多了， 会麻木，分离多了，会习惯，换恋人多了，会比较，到最后你会不再相信爱情，你会自暴自弃，你会 毫无生气，你会行尸走肉，你会与一个你不爱的人结婚，就这样过一辈子···

所以 牵好的手就不要轻易放开，说过的话就不要轻易收回，承诺过的人就不要轻易忘记···

有些人， 有些事，既然发生了。
就注定是你一生的回忆···
