3 more days to Xmas! <3 <3 <3
Finally gotten and wrapped the pressiez for beloved ones and for the office Xmas exchange gift (see the one with ribbon and panda).
Excited I am!
Hope the person who got my gift will like it! Spent half an hour going round the store looking for suitable ‘unisex’ gift! Spent half an hour turning the ribbon I bought at Ikea last week into flower and folding the panda card! Haha!

Plan to surprise family members with pressiez as well. Just feel like seeing smile on their faces when they know they got gifts! Well, who doesn’t smile when they got a gift? Haha.
Pocket is burnt for now, but I believe if one willing to part with money for good cause, money will come back in double! Haha.
Can’t wait for this long weekend as well!
Tis’ the season to be jolly~* Falalalalaaaa~ la la la laaaa~*
That’s how a person gets another person’s name. Or they started with a formal proper question – what’s your name?
As for me, I don’t really like to introduce myself using chinese name. Why? Because people couldn’t pronounce my name properly. It’s either HUEY PENG or HUA PING. Some even called by my surname – ah TAN. Sounds like Atan to me. -.-”
Plus, people don’t remember chinese name easily. Unless you’re mei mei, bee bee, ling ling, ting ting or ming ming.
That’s where ’Angeline’ comes in. The name given by my dad when I was 7 or 8.
I can still remember, I decided to get myself a ‘christian’ name that time as I envied those have one in their birth cert. Wanting to be in the same pack, I searched for a new name. I didn’t want to be the plain old Mary, Lily, Lulu. Finally – after searching for few days, I found one – Angel. Angel Tan.
The same day, I went home and told my dad that I’ll be known as Angel for that day onward. But dad said, Angel sounds common. You should take ‘Angeline’.
As not much ‘Angeline’ was heard around that time, I was delighted indeed! I immediately asked my dad how to spell the name cz my English was very bad that time. I was from a chinese kindergarten; who supposed to enter a chinese primary school but ended up at convent after parents heard good remarks about them. Haha.
Because friends from primary and secondary schools used to called ah phing, therefore ‘Angeline’ is not used until when I entered university. Nobody knew me that time – so the way to make people remember me is by using Angeline. Which is easy to them because Angelina Jolie is super popular that time and somehow I was ended up being called ‘Angelina Jolie’ plak.
-.-”"”"
Yes, until now some people still calls me that. Or they’ll be like, Angeline? Ohh.. ‘Angelina Jolie’ ker?
It’s not that I’m uneasy with people calling me that as I know they buat kacau only. Just that I wonder why people wants to associate Angeline with Angelina Jolie. -.-”
Now, I wonder if other ‘Angeline’(s) face the same problem too? Hmm..
*Check time* Walao.. It’s 10.28 d. Gonna do a quick update and then hop to bed d. Don’t know why I feel like blogging today and show to the world the wonderful flowers and fruits in mah beu-ti-ful garden. So, do bear with the less-words-post ya.
All the pictures were taken with mah 50mm lens. Quite blur for some as it was quite windy and cloudy that day. A good day for gardening though. Hehe.

Below were my neighbour’s flower. Didn’t know what’s it called, but it’s really nice. I want that type of flower as my future wedding flower! ROFLMAO!

More flowers. This time with a bug.

I decorated my garden with a windmill 2 months ago. I love looking at the windmill, spinning and spinning and spinning…

There’s a jambu tree in my garden. A small tree but already bears fruits. Yumyum~

The best thing is the fruits are all sweet! Hmm… Can still taste the sweetness of the guava.

It was quite nice taking pictures of the flowers. It made me feel bonded to the nature and just appreciate the beauty of mother Earth.

Ahh.. Small purple flower standing tall among the green leaves, looking up at the blue sky full of cotton-ly clouds.

That’s sneak peek of what my garden has in store. Time to sleep now. Goodnight
Even now I’m yawning. Darn.
I’m.so.dead.tired.
Last Sunday, I was woken up by my dad’s shocking news – eggs found in the garden! He asked me to grab my DSLR and followed him down to the garden.
But I forgotten to charge my battery as it has dried the last time I used it. So, I told him that I had to charge it first and shall see the eggs later.
As sun setting down, I ran to the garden with both my lens, the 50mm and kit lens, but decided to use 50mm to take the pictures. (I want bokeh-kan my picture!)
My dad had already dug up the eggs from the sand filled polystyrene box and placed them on the pottery plate at the road bank for photography purposes.

My 3rd-house-neighbours was walking past my house with their twins that time, was wondering what were I taking picture of and decided to linger for awhile after seeing the tiny eggs.
We were all wondering what eggs were that, all started to guess if the eggs was the snake’s that used to trespass our garden or the lizard’s that roams freely in our garden or something else.
Dad ended all our speculations by conducting a mini dissection on one of the egg! Using a spade and a pair of scissors! Haha!
I even jokingly asked him if he needs my sis’s dissection tool to open up the egg. Lol!

When dad saw the yolk, he thought probably this egg was still at earlier stage, the embryo wasn’t even formed yet. And even wanted to open up another one, but I stopped him.
Feeling dissatisfied, he pulled out the yolk and he found the tiny lil ‘body’ with 2 black eyes attached to the yolk.

Carefully he pulled out the yolk, and there we can clearly see which species owns those 8 eggs.

And it belonged to the familar she-lizard at our garden. I heard that there’s a he-lizard at the 3rd-house-neighbour’s garden, so probably both of them mate and tadaaa… 8 eggs hidden in the pile of unused sand in the polystrene box.

After the mini experiment, the rest of the eggs were buried back into the polystrene box filled with sand.
Maybe few weeks later, there will be few baby lizards running freely in the garden. Hmm, to think bout it, keeping the eggs is a good thing or bad. *pondering*

Hmm.. Maybe I should get that hat since it made me look feminine! AHAKS!
IT was somewhere in late November when I met up with them for the last time before I head back to Penang for good. Besides making this a ’surprise’ party for Mr. Leong (which was also a surprise farewell party for me as well), we decided to venture into new place for food instead of the ol’ Murni, Chilis, TGIF etc2.
And after reading numerous blogs and recommendation from Jess and Steven(they went there not long ago, if not mistaken), we settled for Fullhouse.

I was awed when I walked into this place. It was so cosy, modern, white, sleek, chic, and and.. I should probably stop describing on as might end up writing adjectives that carries the same meaning here. Lol!
I simply adore all the things that are being sold in this ‘lifestyle store/cafe’. But, I didn’t bother to check on the price though, as I was at the verge of being broke that month. Too many outings! T.T

We were led to upstairs to a white lonnnng table of 10 and were given 3 kawaii-looking-menu ONLY. I was like, wtfish.. Why gave us 3 menu when there were 6 of us there?
So I thought MAYBEEE they didn’t expect they’ll have many customers dining, so didn’t bother to ‘print’ much menu.
Or maybe the waiter thought that sharing is caring. LOL!
Oh well, we took turns to read the menu, placed our orders, continued chatting, and snapping while waiting for another 2 kawan to come.
One by one, our drinks came. They were very colourful, I likey!

But the thing that really caught my eyes was the stirrer. Those cute lil glasses at the end of the stirrer, awww… I want oneeee…. Eh no, I want allllllll… *greed clouded my mind*

If you look careful enough, you can spot Aaron’s signature eyebrow in the picture above. Hiak hiak hiak!
Then slowly the food came. First, Steven’s nasi lemak.

Followed by Aaron’s steak.

And Jess’s chicken chop. Very big hor the potion!

Lastly, B’s fish and chips.

If you were wondering what Mr. Leong and I had that night, I’ll gladly tell you that we ordered
their famous wok-seor chicken chop that came more than 2 hours later. T.T
You must be thinking, how could it be that long? I must be miscalculating the time.
Well, WaiSeng and Crystal came an hour late due to traffic jam had ordered and finished their food, yet our food haven’t arrived. Aaron even had second rounds after feeling that he wasn’t full, still no food in front of us. And my gastric already attacking my poor stomach that time. T.T
Yes, it was that bad. Up the extend that Mr. Leong bising-ed there and demanded to see the manager. (Don’t ever anger our Mr. Leong, lol).
And the reason of all those delay?
IS because they didn’t key in our order. -_-”
Again, I was shocked to hear that. I’m pretty sure that I wasn’t the last person to place order, moreover we ordered 2 of those, not one. So, how can they didn’t/forgotten to key in our order. Plus, we did remind them over and over again for our food when we realised that something was amiss. So, giving that kind of reason was simply ridiculous and unacceptable!
Apparently our table wasn’t the only one had trouble that night, some other table had problems too. I heard from the guys when they settled the bill downstairs, one of the customers even told to the cashier that they’ll never dine there again due to bad service.
I was like, WAHHHH! That terrible ar?!
Anyway, after we got our food, Mr. Leong’s anger gone down the drain and everyone was back to joyful mood. We had some ‘photography session’ at the table and at the ‘bedroom section’ with the props before leaving Fullhouse.

Aww.. the menu cute kan?
IF you ask me is it worth going to Fullhouse for a meal, I would say it’s IF you’re going for the atmosphere. The food is rather okay only so yeah, I’d say your money goes to the atmosphere, the-special-feel’ and the kawaii-looking-décors found in the building.

Before ending this post, I MUST MUST MUST post this pic where I look ala Paris Hilton (minus the clothing la) while B look like a nerd from school!
B don’t keeeel me ya.. *hides under blanket*
