We used to have those whitish coloured sweets, flavoured with a strong scent of orange, ground between our teeth. It was back then when my sis and I were kindergarten kids, tic-tac we called those sweets.
When we were slightly bigger, in primary, we had tic-tac-toe as our favourite game whenever there were pj sessions.
Now, in uni, there is this shop which sells bubble tea bearing the brand name tea-tac-toe.
Now I see, tic tac, u never left me.
'Mei Ting, why, u're ur sis's kakak!' Cheeyan claimed while smiling with his sunshine grin again.
I paused to think for a while, not sister he meant, but maid. sigui.
Recalling yesterday, it was leaving time for both my sis and I when we met my bunch of male coursemates in prangin mall.
The load of shopping stuffs in my hands shocked them i guessed. LOL. It's a total of yomayyin's and mine ma, not mine alone ok!
But we are indeed broke now. Happily broke (:
Anyone, free meals to offer this month?
I can't stop peeping at my prom shoes from time to time, the dazzling diamond-stony details it has and its faint golden hue. Can I hug and sleep with it, roommate? hahaha.
Tic tac tic tac tic tac.
As my clock ticks its second hand, rain drops from the roof beats simultaneously on the concrete floor along the corridor of our hostel rooms.
The perfect weather for a nap. Aah.

Have you thrown your calender?
Surprisingly, there were more people who opted to watch Barbie within Queensbay Mall than to countdown for the upcoming year in the open field just opposite it. Barbie wins!
Barbie wasn't pretty to me, her boyfriend was instead good looking, amo fuiyoh!
Reminds me of the horoscopy prediction in Cleo about Virgoees in 2011, 'The possibility of finding that special someone of different culture and exotic background'.
Omg, can I have an amo instead of Muhamad? Just like xiaxue's, how sweet.
Fireworks displayed already? I thought it's just eleven now?
Peiyean just invited me to watch firecrackers together, I guess fairygodmother heard me =D
With my xxl crispy chicken in hand, my new year's resolution would be to be able to laugh away all sorrows! MUAHAHA-WAKAKA-hahahaHAHA!
Happy 2011!
I just threw mine. ;)

BoomboomPOW!
The moment we stepped out from Dewan Budaya, our palms showed contrasting sensations of both hot and cold.
Chilled by the conditioned air, warmed as the aftermath of clapping too enthusiastically. if only I divert such energy into my studies, IF ONLY ;)
Now, that was a performance worthed more than RM10, WOOH!
Andrew, that coursemate of mine who I used to meet more often in khaleel, roti bakar and AB coffee than in class, has great hands on piano!
Recalling what easy once said, 'U'll fall in love with him the moment he touches the piano!'
So true.
The way his hands got carried by music, his face danced with the tune and his eyes were neither looking at any chords nor the piano, they all stunned me!
Such gifted talent, Andrew, cool!
To our aman damai drummer: I love the way ur facial expression flows with the beat, ur whistling and the sandy sound from ur drumstick-like instrument. =D
As for the 11 years old drummer named Farez, you rocked kid! wooh!
USM jazzband, boomboomPOW!

A line of words.
An unusual holiday morning at which I woke slightly early, took bath before I brushed my teeth and headed to a nearby supermarket to shop for five coloured fruits.
Never before had I performed a religious chinese pray at home which involves fruits as we do not own any altar at home you see, and all the knowledge about buddhism which I possess are just a thin layer on the surface.
I felt awkward inside to only pick one of each type of fruit instead of the usual multiply of at least five.
To make things worse, the sales person who helped weighed each fruit I picked, laughed.
I smiled and explained, for praying kak.
That kak thought I was on a diet plan, one fruit per day, enough for the weekdays of a week. LOL.
Within the same grocery mart, I bumped into an uncle, a cheerful uncle.
We were from different directions, trying to reach the same cashier counter.
One glance at his hands, I could only see groceries, groceries, groceries, neither accompanied by a helper nor aided with a basket or trolley.
Signalling the uncle to pay first, this uncle smiled, a warm smile and in a familiar cantonese dialect, he shooked his head and said, '做什麽事都唔好碑人行头，本来是你的就坚持，要对自己要信心!’
I smiled back, paid before him and thanked him.
It's a day worth remembering, that uncle and his words. =D
One sunny day, checked!
Can't pull myself out of 下一站，幸福, the first one which shakes my stand on taiwanese drama series, the plot is well planned, the main characters stand out well, acting skills are in my view great! Worth watching (:

Disappearing
Back at home, I'm trying to reconnect with every big and small details I have been missing since my seemingly dreadful exam weeks kick off.
I was back then thinking, exam is a killer!
Death, seems to be just another lifeless word u see on the newspaper, as long as it deals with people who has zero connection with u.
What if someday, death clinge on someone u know, someone u have feelings on?
Nah, let's be optimistic, don't burden ur minds with sorrows that don't exist yet, u might think.
My bestie's dad passed away, someone close is diagnosed with liver cancer, 4th stage.
How can that be without any signs or symptoms?
The clock is ticking, taking things for granted is what I always do.
Always appreciate, this is needed.

Sushi, Sashimi, Slurrp Slurrp Yummy!
Exam is over, OVER!
Tao became our celebration spot, my first taste of this buffet style, japanese cuisine.
I always loved this kind of pay once but eat-all-u-might meal!
We started off with the top ten dishes:
1. Abalone slices sprinkled with plastic like fuzhu skin.
2. Cheese covered scallop with the size of a 50 cents coin but much thicker. nicenicenice! (:
3. Gigantic oyster hidden like a treasure below a sticky film of cheesy chilly sauce.
4. Tempura, a mixture of prawns, brinjal and orangy sweet potato, served with special dark brown sauce.
5. Juicy mutton stick with a thick, finger-licking-good sauce.
6. Thin anchovy looking thin, slim fish which is meant to be eaten together with its bones. We spotted eggs within its stomach, not wanting to explore further, we just swallowed everything, excluding the head and tail =P
7. Cecilia's favourite smoked beef fried with spring onion.
8. Two cupfuls of slippery tofu which slid through our throats =P stuffed with crab meat and topped with slimmy shark's fin soup's gravy.
9. Cheesy crabmeat dumplings, tasted like mayonnaise.
10. Raw sashimi of squit and salmon. Too raw for us both, dislike, sorry expensive salmon.
Then, hands were raised for side dishes, yay yay yay!
We tasted Japanese shark's fin soup, moderate rating as it beared a chicken porridge taste.
Fruits, lots lots of fruits to shave our feelings of full.
And so we continued our eating marathon with smoked eel, more sushi.
We also had two cup each of cookie cream flavoured ice-cream!!
Our mission to eat from 6pm till 9pm was completed! wakaka =D

Malacca, a stylish taste of old.
I like this feeling of family even though the people involved aren't biologically connected to me as so.
And so I had my first trip to explore the historical site of Malacca, along with my 9 other coursemates, xiaopengyou (easy), sinyin, jiahui, weiting, yeekwan, cheeyan, xiaoguang, desmond and jasper.
It's one trip I enjoy, very relaxing, simple and filled with loud laughs, eyes squeezing happiness.
We searched for baba food which turns out to be nyonya food. (baba is nyonya's husband, we all conclude that lady cooks better =D)
Ole Sayang we went, reachable by walking distance from mahkota parade, keep walking straight until the end and u'll find this corner lot restaurant, painted in green.
We ordered asam pedas fish, sambal prawns, dry curry chicken, fried kangkung and salted vege soup.
Rice was served on banana leaf, in an inverted triangular, rottan, cap-like container.
The taste? Spicy swirled with a touch of sourness that woke our already hungry stomach, making us went, 'nice leh, munch munch munch, really very nice eh! Ahh, the soup, slurrrp, NICE!! I take more har.' Hahaha!
The waitress must be thinking, 'this bunch of kids must had been starved for ages liao!' =D
I won't forget the end part where everyone was too full to stuff in the remaining piece of fish.
We took 15 minutes to persuade, ok, actually is force the fish down the throats of our gentlemen.
Saviour every single bite! We aren't wasteful! Yeah!
Next, we headed to the very renown, Capitol Satay Celup.
80 cents per stick, yupyup, any stick, ranging from large prawns, shrimps, chicken meat, fishcakes, bean curd, fishballs, entangled kangkung balls, bird's egg, fried pork skin, sausages, stuffed taufu and more.
These uncooked food were lined neatly on the shelf of an open aired freezer, like those found in supermarket, with trays provided.
We waited for the attendent to pour in the thick, peanut filled mixture of satay sauce, boiled it for a few minutes and we started dipping our sticks of choice in and out.
Messy but steaming fun! =D
Not say super yummy, but it was something different, and the atmosphere of steamboating with the whole gang, worthed it I would say! (:
We wouldn't miss out malacca's chicken rice balls, served as spheres of rice.
Ah ni was true, the original shop was one that needed neither sophisticated renovations nor was it air-conditioned, instead, it just laid humbly, with the owner guarding the steel fence, limiting the number of guests based on the availability of seats and food left.
Good quality control indeed haha.
We also went river cruising, up Taming Sari, A Famosa, The Ship (static one), Muziums (lots of them), Jonker Street, biscuit hunting, souvenir shopping and cendol tasting (all kinds of flavour we tasted, me like durian! =D)
All in all, pepsi fits my feeling best, I'm 'Asking For More'.
