My failed parking :(

One of the main reasons I seldom drive (besides not having a car) is because I'm definitely not well equipped in parking properly...

Need tons a lot more of practice!

One friend of mine was really nice this evening to force me to drive his car tho! Because he knows my fear.

I will improve.

I had my first Carl's Jr. Burger today !!!

I'm so outdated oh my yes I know.

It's a little pricey............... but the burger portion is SO BIG (my picture is misleading)........... !

Juicy + big + satisfying burger = Claire's bloated tummy !!!

Weeee. But instead of the burger, the best thing I love was the french fries ! It's really tasty, a good alternative to McD ones!

Ju, Sze Jie, Pau and I were really blur heads as we didn't know drinks are bottomless......... Hence we each ordered sets ! ...............@#!@#!................. Now we know !  :P

Was shocked to find out that I placed 12 out of 80 in 7-Eleven's What's The Big Deal (click!) game on Facebook !

They contacted me and I am really happy that I would be able to purchase a Sony PSP at RM 7 for my youngest brother! He's been dreaming for one for ages, and this is really the ultimate amazing blessing. The cutest thing is that he already piled RM 7 worth of coins for me, from his savings!

Aww.
Yesterday was the first round of the game. My brothers watched the video with me and we were like crazy excited people. We only had 2 chances (based on number of receipts).... hence I thought we wouldn't win.

God is so great, as I really for the first time did not expect to win, yet I did ! :')

Today my grandma went yumcha with a couple, and she was so thoughtful to have bought me THIS !

Remember my post describing about period pain ? Hahaha click here for it !

This is one of the methods I've always heard for YEARS and never got my hands on it...... now I'm really anticipated to see whether it really works.

The ingredients are really creepy tho. Black hen bone was one of it........... creepy !

Grandmothers are so caring, nyehe.

Felt overwhelmed and felt like giving up a lot of things I was doing.

Found this old scroll I used to hang in the wall of my old bedroom.

Such a great reminder at the right time.

Basically when translated, the title means "Life's Goal", and the content is to not speak about yesterday's failure, to not dream foolishly about tomorrow, to catch hold of every moment in front of us, and to push hard towards our life's goal(s) in order to reap success.

Something like that, haha. Just reminds me of being determined.

Hahaha, thanks Sher for this shot of me!

Such a FUN day with Sher and Aly !

Aly suggested that instead of some regular yumcha, we should hang and go sing karaoke and we did ! We ate at one of my most favorite eating places, Wong Kok, and for karaoke we went to Loudspeaker @ First Subang !

Gosh I really really really forgot how FUN singing karaoke was ! Haven't did so for a few years.

We really enjoyed our time, belting our stomachs out, singing Adele, Avril, Kelly Clarkson songs....... to like those old awesome Chinese songs !

LOVED today.

A million thank yous to Jon Ong, one buddy of mine who is willing to lend me his metronome ! :D

It's the thing above the piano there, shaped like a triangular thingy, it's like a thing that goes "tick tick tick tick", in purpose to assist in timing while practicing the piano!

Such a shame that although I've learned piano for many years previously, I was never asked persistently by any teacher to buy it and use it !

Hence my timing is sometimes all over the place, boohoo :(

But there's HOPE now :D Thanks to my incredibly fantastic new piano teacher, and my buddy who's willing to lend me his metronome for a few months period (so kind right?) ! Such helpful peopleee.

Honestly however........ the metronome is getting on my nerves as I used it a lot today................... because it can irritate your ears and mind :(  Just like what my piano teacher warned. Haha.

Had a super filling dinner at Dao Rae, Taipan with the family for the first time !
I am ever in love with Korean food :')

Honestly I've tasted better rice, green tea, kimchi and side dishes else where.. but that's just me! Meowww.
But the barbecued meat is really, really tasty though. Grandma praises them to be well-marinated, heh.

A busy, exciting week ahead, I must be determined not to lose focus!!!!

Wishing you all a happy week !

Daddy chopping chicken.

This picture reminds me of my grandmother telling me random stories like her, being instructed to cook chicken by her mum in the past.

In those days she had to buy/catch the chicken herself, pluck all the feathers, cut the chicken.. then only the cooking process starts !

Such a tedious process...... society has really advanced.

The chopping board above was handmade by my late grandfather.. to realize that he was really skilled in making simple wood objects. We have some wooden stools and ladders made by him too.

Inspiring grandparents... are inspiring.
