hehe.. thanks pa-wents for my early early pwezzie!! super early but who’s complaining eh? hehe..

Bonia purse! it feels and smells as good as it looks.. hehe..
and apple green Guess handbaggie!! hehe..
thanks lots lots..
er.. wait a min.. is this to get me to study harder?? what?? can’t hear ya!! hehe.. me pwomise!!
hmm.. somehow, as i grow older up Chinese New Year seems less and less exciting all together..
last time we used to go back to my grandma’s house where all the cousins will gather and play all kinds of juvenile games together.. we used to play hantu kalah in which i will usually end up being discriminated because both teams won’t pick me cos i’m a girl and most of my cousins are guys.. haha.. but nonetheless it was pure fun just running and trying to escape the other team.. and laughing so hard that we double over and get caught by the opponents..
but the last time we played, the fun was clouded by a dark cloud.. because our beloved grandma’s house is to be returned to the landowner.. it was the house where we practically grew up together.. playing our childish games..
i still remember the times i used to follow behind my grandma looking for chicken eggs.. and the times i would smile whenever i discover a bunch of eggs cleverly hidden by the mother hen.. or the time when my grandma, however difficult walking may be for her would hobble to the custard apple tree and look for a ripe enough fruit for me cos its my favourite fruit..
or the time when my cousins used to climb the poor pomelo tree behind my grandma’s house.. i was never allowed to climb by my guy cousins cos they are afraid lil princess might fall and hurt herself.. but it was fun just watching..
or the times when my cousin will entertain me with funny stories about their silly adventures.. haha.. should i tell them about your swimming trip dals? hehe..
so many memories.. though the place will be gone but never the memories..
oh.. and not forgetting yee sang!! this year we discovered Jusco’s ready packed yee sang which is really fun to prepare and really yummy.. ideal for cam whores who love to take pictures of food.. hehe..
YUM!!
and cancellation plus succumbing to lazyness,
i decided that only the photos can do justice to such a special occasion..
So here goes:
We took the road less MOST travelled down to KL..
And ended up here.. then we were seated in this section which was very obviously allocated for couples as all the tables were set for two.. and we were by far the youngest couple there.. nah jenlye, make you feel younger.. haha..
Then came my favourite and yet most challenging part of any good dinner..
Ordering..
Still ordering.. see how hard he’s thinking?? can see those wrinkles already Uncle Jen.. haha..
What we ordered:
Sakura’s special Nasi lemak.. which my parents used to eat while they were dating!! imagine that!!
And Chicken Maryland..
YUM!!
Oh i almost forgot.. My present!! hehe..
A jar or memories and a rose.. hehe.. Inside the jar were little messages of poems, quotes and also our past memories together.. hehe.. it was really sweet reading those messages and reminiscing on those happy moments.. and also the fact that it took him 1 week plus to complete it.. thanks dear!!

To everyone who owns a blog, please post this up and help to forward it to everyone you know in IMU. Thank you everyone!
Convo Mag Fund Raising Project – IMU Idol
As you all know, our convo mag is in dire need of funds. With most of our solid ideas either being hammered down or have already been done by other, IMU idol seems to be the only real hope to generate funds. The target for this project would be an estimated RM 3000. The Blind Date project previously collected a whooping >RM3000. I’m telling you, ‘If we can get enough of people to organize this, we’ll make equally as much if not more!’
IMU idol will span a total of 4 weeks, with the first week being the audition, followed by semis and finally the finale. Each stage of the competition will be filmed and shown everyday at the atrium where our voting booths will be. The public can vote for their favorites by purchasing a vote (and MIGHT include a freebie like chocolate OR NOT) at the voting booths. Prices to be discussed later.
The audition is to be held at the lecture halls where else the semis and the finals will be at the atrium. We are trying to organize the semis in conjunction with the food fair by the ball committee. As the competition progresses, half the number of participants will be eliminated each time. The winner, first runner up and second runner up will be given a prize respectively.
The basis behind the creation of IMU idol:
1. It is an efficient money making scheme that requires zero funds to start, which is why we’ll need all the man power to make this right!
2. It’s never been done before and the idea appeals to most of us.
3. IMU has plenty of hidden voice talents.
4. To create an atmosphere of competition which hopefully will give us the edge of more votes. Here, votes = money.
5. It’s finally a chance to organize something that’ll suck money out of other batches instead of the usual self generated profits.
6. Since it involves other batches, they’ll no longer hesitate to contribute to OUR convo mag.
* i suppose this second part applies to fellow M1/06 peeps *
IMU Idol committee proposal
For effective handling of the events, I propose a 4 team committee.
The first team’s task is to sort out the promotional aspect of the event. This includes job such as drawing up posters or banners and preparing wallpaper for the computers in the e-labs. Other reasonable suggestions for the promoting team would be to design human billboards and flyers for circulation. If there’s sufficient time, a video to advertise the event would be highly recommended. I personally will be filming all 3 events, from the audition to the semis and the finals. I hope to gather around 4 to 5 people for this team and upon completion of their tasks, they may or may not join the other teams as to their liking. It is important that people work as a team here. Each individual may have a specific style but a blend of all styles may sometimes yield better results. So, please compromise!
The second team will handle the booths. Collecting and counting the votes are a priority to this team as all incoming cash flows from here. It is advisable to draw up a timetable in order to rotate the person in charge each day. As the event will span for about 4 or 5 weeks, it is essential to have responsible people in charge of the booth. The team also needs to come up with a chart to show the number of votes for each contestant. In this case, Size (of the chart) Does Matter! I propose about 4 to 6 people for this team, with 2 people on stand by at the booth each day. The operation hours are up to you guys but try to cover a span of 4 to 5 hours each day and you may split the hours throughout the day for longer coverage.
The third team is the event team. The jobs here are the most tedious involving both the semis and finals competition to prepare for. This team basically has to organize and beautify both the events in order to draw in more crowds for the votes. For the singing competition rounds, the team is encouraged to invite our very own IMU bands to perform along with the singers. It doesn’t need to be very high standard (like the Friday night), but must be equally nice as well. Positions to be filled include team leader (1), emcees (2), stage crew (2), spotlight (1), and decoration (2).
The last team would be the organizing team. This is a fundamental team as all activities have to pass through this team. Individuals with interesting ideas may join and contribute to the IMU idol idea. Right now, this team comprises of me (Kevin), Han Ying and Naomi.
The whole IMU idol is still in its preliminary planning. So, I apologize for the inadequate information in this notice. Feel free to contact any of the numbers below for further information or if you’re interested in joining us. Participants will be awarded a certificate at the end of the event. Thank you for your attention. It is greatly appreciated.

First: find youself about 20 similar angpau packets with your favourite design..
Second: fold it in half making a little crease at the edge like how you do when you are about to punch holes in paper..
Third: fold one side all the way up diagonally to the folded crease at the other end (the end you put money into.. hehe)..
Fourth: do the same with the other side..
and you’ll get this..
Fifth: put some double sided tape on one side of the angpau..
Sixth: repeat step one to six 20 times..
Seventh: then stick two angpaus together..
Eighth: stick all (10) together (duhh!!) 
Ninth: stick the free edges together and you’ll get a coned shaped tanglong..
Tenth: Repeat steps 1-9 for the top half of the tanglong and stick the two sides together..

Why is picking a pants size made so complicated?? one label can contain up to 5 different sizing which all doesn’t make sense.. in the end end up just simply picking a random size and gage from there.. why can’t everything be in inches?? and for some brands S size is equivalent to another brand XL?? makes you wanna buy from a shop with bigger cutting so psychologically you feel thinner *wink*
someone educate me!!
A handful of memories, a string of thoughts and a dash of love..
