Sudden Free Meal

Sushi King RM2 Bonanza is back from 13th -16th of April. Since I've got a job now, was only able to go after work= dinner time. 
Today, everyone in my family had their own plans except for my mum and I. Thus around 8 plus, we headed to One U. Originally, our plan was to have dinner in sushi king. But I had my dinner at home, and mum say let's just head for Zanmai and not fight the crowd in sushi king. 


Despite my super passion for sushi, I was kinda full. Still, mum needed to have her dinner and since she suggested sushi, so I thought, how could I ever say no... The lazy us, planned to parked around the nearest escalator to the restaurant but we got lost in the parking lot. Giving up on searching, my mum spotted an empty parking lot, so she just headed for it. Only surprised to find that, HAHA....this WAS the escalator that will lead us directly to Zanmai...haha...



Wait, its not over yet...Since, I had already taken my dinner, so I just ordered a 5 piece salmon and was busy taking pictures of the salmon before eating. After packing potato salad for my sister, we headed to pay the bill. Here comes the climax. Guess what?!!!! 


When we handed the bill to the cashier, he told us that our bill was paid. Both my mum and I looked at each other, puzzled. Hurh???? @_@..We were like, are you serious? We asked the cashier a few times and still the cashier guy told us that a guy said he'll pay for our bill and he really paid. The 'best' thing is, we don't even know who paid for us. HAhaHa....the entire journey home, we were both wondering and discussing what was the possibly for that guy to pay for us. Here's the few possibility that we managed to came up with:



1. The guy planned to treat the girls from the table behind us ( the hot girls table) but the waiter made a mistake, resulting us getting the free meal instead. 80%

2. He's a friend of my mum, he thought she saw her, but she didn't. That explained why he didn't messaged my mum about it. Because he thought she knew about it. 10%

3. The boss of Zanmai Sushi thought that we're food critics, since I was busy taking pictures of the food. 5%

4. The chef appreciated my overreacting expression while eating the salmon. Hence, was more than glad to treat this funny girl who enjoyed his dish so much. 5%


So, what was the reason, and who was the person? We really don't know. Haha...Just wanna say, thanks for the meal!!! Whoever this person is. Wakaka..truly satisfying......

Go for pro or handy ???

After surveying, dragging, see see look look -ing, n saving $$ for 2 years, I have finally decided. This is the time to hit the hammer!!! Now, the problem is, should I go for handy or pro??!! Aint suppose to rush for decision but time's running out!!! Uni starting in July, though don't even know where am I heading. Want to go photo trip with friends before starting uni!!! So, I'm gonna spent this as a birthday present for myself!!! ok, so now, here's the question. DSLR or compact digital camera??? If DSLR, Canon or Nikon??


If DSLR, I'm thinking of this beauty...............



Nikon D60
10.2 mega pixels
ISO ranging from 100 to 1600
2.5 LCD screen with 230,000 pixels resolution,
suitable for beginners yet friendly to pro



2nd option would be....
Canon EOS 400D

here's the link to the result of comparison between these two beauties
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=nikon_d60%2Ccanon_eos400d&show=all



one more important note, Nikon is cheaper than Canon. It was a year ago when I last checked the price, should drop in the sense of price but not ratio right. Originally, it was RM2388 :RM2499


Personally, I will prefer to get a DSLR, can change settings manually, more challenging, which also means more fun. But DSLR is so bulky and the price is almost double of the compact ones. Extra troublesome for parties and camwhoring session with friends. But DSLR helps me learn more about photography, needless to say on the quality sense, DSLR also allows me to play around with the shutter speed. And I absolutely admire the "chik chak" sound when a picture is taken. *wink wink. Yet, noisy shutter sound/ pop up flash noise, seems rather attracting attention, however, the Nikon D60 has softer shutter sound, which fits just perfectly in between to have the sound (DSLR) and to not have the sound(compact digital camera). Summarising in two words for DSLR, its versatility and image quality. haiz...still...very bulky la..n heavy...yet, there are always sacrifices to make. so I guess, have to say goodbye to the stylish, light and handy camera...
canon Ixus 100 IS
Canon SD970 IS





Is this really the time for DSLR? or should I just get a compact camera first, and DSLR later?
Anyway, the final decision has yet to be made.
Any comment people?? I need comments and advice...
lam oi...mei xian...help~~~

Eagles' Wings



Here I am waiting
Abide in me I pray
Here I am longing for you
Hide me in your love
Bring me to my knees
May I know Jesus more and more

Come live in me
All my life, take over
Come breathe in me
And I will rise on eagles wings



for all that He has done,
without giving a hint,
might not even make any sense.

Yet,

if you just open your eyes to see,
open your ears to listen,
and open your heart to receive...
you can see what miracles He can do.

As the song magnificent sings,
no one can compares to Him, for all that He has done.

He was the one who sets the stars in their places, making everything that has happened happen at the exact moment, exact place to the exact person. There is no coincidence. Nothing just happened to happen

He who calms the raging seas, giving us the peace when we're lost, giving us ways to strengthen our faith in Him, bringing forth chances for us to serve Him, leading us the path to grow closer to Him

He who brings the morning light, bringing the hope of all the earth. Opening a window when all doors are closed, showing a path when all ways are blurred, watering plants that shows the least sign of being alive, refilling hopes in shattered dreams

Talk to Him, and He'll listen,
Look for Him, and you'll be found,
Trust in Him, and you'll feel the anointing
For He has only three answer,
Yes No Wait


For that, I'm waiting....

Goal!! where's the goal?? not seeing it anywhere near...

World Cup 2010 qualifier is on again...... and why did I get myself a job.......*knocking head on d wall*......

sounds desperate?? narh... I don't usually watch football....but I enjoy playing though...who cares if I'm not good at it...I do admit I'm kinda the lousy one....come on...no one is born to be a footballer right away.....imagine a month old baby juggling the ball, passing every pro footballer, escaping a tackle from the right, and another from the left....n finally...GOAL....how scary would that scene be.....yikes..


so, who knows..maybe 10 years later you'll see me playing like a pro...lol...but for now, I just enjoy running and running n just focusing on the ball and my teammate voices....then if there's a goal...that will be the extra bonus for that day...wakaka

As I mentioned earlier that watching football is not top in my list, yet real live games as in supporting own team at the field itself, and also World Cup n Euro are somehow different.....probably because during the world cup n Euro, there are more company.....got friend to cheer along is always more exciting compared to watching alone......and I actually thought that having two brothers will be an advantage.....wei, they watch less than me leh....yet still plays better....aiyaya




seriously, I'm still a "bigdumbdumb" in watching football....dunno who's who...recognizing the footballer is still okok...but the names ah...hahahahaha...don't ask me.....coach once said, you can't play gd football if you don't watch football....that's what got me started..but last year's euro cup quite fun leh.....the days in McD throughout the night...and then also the friendly match in MKIS..do you know how much fun can it be to cheer and shout for your team??!!! heart can literally jump out wei...no kidding!!

ok..mayb not literally..hehe..


I missed football training!!! no more d...form 4 and 5 were the best...everyone was still around, although some always skip practice, at least we still get to play with one another...never worrying that there'll be no kaki....then after graduated from form 5..only get to play with pmo juniors once in a blue moon ....once in a blue moon its better than none la....no more green green field...still got futsal court in megah....really grateful to have these juniors.....then finally in upper sixth..surprised to find that the girls football club was still alive..bring in the grass!!!. bonus is that coach Mark was still the coach...happily happily went for training....and almost bought a new football boots..and even paid the fees. Although all old kaki left d...nevermind, thought can find new kaki... then guess what...four training in the beginning of the year then no announcement, no news no nothing liao...SAD..



when will be the time again...or should I say, will there ever be a time again for my football kaki to come back and play shuang shuang game with me?? if I were a boy~~~shud be easier to find kaki..izzit?? I wonder if there's a women football club in uni.......wei...now football boots alot cheaper leh...why not gimme a reason to buy!!!!! wakaka....God grant us the miracle that d women who tipu-ed us will suddenly mail us the photos..our one and only team photo taken formally with our jerseys on....haha....oikeat, i tried emailing her...failed! eeyun...pray hard!!
