You Only Miss It When It's Not There

I LOVE JALAPENOS IN MY SANDWICH! :D
I can just imagine my parents saying...
"that's our daughter. She has to be different compare to the rest!" shake heard

I seem to be a very late 'bloomer' when it comes to picking up a certain thing from a culture. I still find it a weird phenomenon within myself.

For example:

1. I couldn't speak Sabah Malay for more than 3 minutes with my friends until I unconsciously start talking in English back again when I was a kid living in Sabah. Weirdest thing was, the first thing that came out of my mouth when I tried to speak in Malay when I moved to Semenanjung (Peninsular) Malaysia, my sabahan accent and slang came out naturally.

2. I could only speak in Sabah Malay when I was in KL and Johor, but after awhile, I started to talk in malay, in KL accent only once after I left KL and lived in Johor.

3. Everybody close to me knows I hate eating chillies as I don't believe in spoiling the taste of the food with too much spice to the point that you can't taste your food properly. The point is, I used to take only (which is very mild) maggie brand chilli sauce. It is so mild that I believe even a 6 year old can take it. I refused to take anything spicier than that. Now that I'm overseas, tis funny how I have recently been craving for something spicy. I can't get the maggie brand for chillie sauce, so I have been eating the Lingham's brand instead.

Currently, I Love jalapeno in my sandwich. Just the thought of it makes me salivate. Haha. The best sandwich with jalapeno that I've tried so far is from Quiznos, which is just below my apartment. Nyum Nyum! :D

Darn! it's already 11pm at night and just the thought of it is making me hungry all over again.

Module C is a Killer

A few of my classmates and I are currently scaring our 'juniors'. Everybody has this idea that module C (the last semester) should be more relaxing and easier since there's more holiday gaps. The reason for more holiday gaps are to make it easier for us to search for a job more actively. Well, I don't know about that. All I know is that a couple of us who decided to take Financial Modeling as an elective haven't really manage to sleep for the past few weeks. Those of you who are on skype, msn and yahoo messenger would probably know what I mean. Since I'm normally online nearly 24hours a day! I can feel the strain on my body from continuous lack of sleep (I normally don't sleep at all the night before class, or make that a 1 hour/ 30 minutes nap if I'm lucky). Funny part is that my whole body feels cold, even though it's 80F/32C degrees!
So I'll be the only one wearing a thick jacket while the others are in T-shirts.

Anyway, enough of my yapping about my studies. Wanted to share some of what I think as the best shops that I like in US.

1. ColdStone Creamery.
Simplest way to explain this will be making ice-cream in action. If only they serve it like these guys in the video in my block. sigh :)


2.Build a Bear Workshop
I like how they are creative in allowing their customers to participate in making the bears. Makes it more sentimental i guess.


And just in case you guys think that only kids do this, think again :P


3. Krispy Kreme
Okay, okay. I'm not really keen on Krispy Kreme since I went OD (over dose) on it the first time I tried ( more than 3 doughnuts will make you sick. it's veeery sweet). But I wanted to add this is for Mas who's missing it alot :P

Charity Walk - Easter Seals

"Bird A: What's wrong with you?"
"Bird B: Shy.."

Took a short break from studying and projects today. Went for an Easter Seals walk with my schoolmates and the school staff. This will probably be the first and (possibility the last?) picture you will ever see me post of my picture in here? Guess where I am in the picture? :P. All the people in yellow t-shirts are from my school.








I like this picture the best somehow. The best of friends, hitching a ride.
