OK this is the third year (or forth) that I’m blogging about the toffee nut-craving. It’s time of the year again when starbucks started serving toffee nut latte & frappucino. Nice.
I miss the sweet toffee nut taste in my mouth. Yep, you can not drink it on a regular term, you’ll get bored with it. However, this is a seasonal drink, so I kind of anticipated this drink towards end of the year – nearing christmas. Ah. I just love toffee nut. I may be exaggerating it too much but I don’t care, i LIKE it. 
Had venti’s at the e-gate with my lecturer just now, while reading my botany lecture notes. How dry & boring the notes are (and remind me of the form 5 and/or matriculation biology where I have to memorize the structure of flowers), but since my left hand holding a toffee nut, I don’t mind digging my head to the notes.
Yep. I’m still studying for my botany paper. Wish me luck. Tooo much to read, tooo little time to digest. Ah, blame it on last minutes studying. Dang!
Oh weeeeee… look what’s back in store!
Toffee nut latte is back in town!
yummyyyyyyyy!

Yep. Google data centre is my NEW clock wallpaper! I downloaded it from my favourite wallpaper website Vlad Studio !

ROFL.
Here’s the screenshot of my cute wallpaper.

It’s been a gloomy day today. Monday started with cloudy & drizzling at noon until now. I’ve been lazing around the room too. Nothing much happening today. Had a very hectic weekend though. Met a couple of people on Saturday & Sunday. He,he.
My Saturday started off by meeting friend in Starbucks Amcorp. Talked & had my toffee nut latte (again!). ha.ha. Soon after that, I rushed of to the town to meet another fella at the Pavilion KL. Owh, he’s the one I talked about on the previous post. Had another Starbucks moment at Bintang Walk before off to the Pavilion GSC. We watched Unrest movie (sort of horror) but actually it wasn’t that scary enough & I don’t understand the movie though. I mean, at the end of the movie you would ask ‘what the hell?’.
Anyway. Back to the Saturday adventure; we then went to zouk. (not partying, for some job needs to be done, duh!). haha.
(2 days later)
OK. I’m too lazy to finish up this post. So, that’s it.
Why do I keep blogging when I know no one is reading? Hmmm blogging is a substitute to keeping journal or diary & yes, I keep one of those when I was a teenager. Now blogging is more relevant to me as I can keep it posted online as well as reducing the usage of paper. LOL.
Anyway, I’m addicted to Heroes. I love the storyline as the character evolves slowly throughout the series. You will always want to know what is going to happen next at the end of every episode (isn’t all series episode ended like this eh?). I love all the characters; Claire, Mr Bennet, Nathan (!!!), Isaac & even Hiro & Ando. Ha,ha. I love the way in which all the characters related to each other & how they can ‘save the world’. Lol. Can’t wait for the next season of Heroes. I read some of the spoilers already! Ha.ha.
Gosh I can’t believe I choose to study over TV series. I sacrificed 3-4 years of my life for university & I’m way behind all the good TV shows. I am going to catch up with 24 later on. My friend said it is VERY addictive as well.
Went out for another toffee nut craze. I bought the muffin this time. So its toffee nut muffin for my dinner tonight then. I should stop eating all these & switch to healthy food. And I should stop reducing my caffeine intake as well as my constant visit to fast food chain. I’m degrading my health with all these stuff. Though I work out more than before now but I should take more healthy & nutritious food.
By the way, I am 109 lbs now! Yeay! Initially, 3 years back I want to achieve my ideal weight 120 lbs so I forced myself to stay healthy by working out; cardio, weight-lifting, tennis & walk as I was so unfit, chubby etc. Though I still am chubby & not-so-fit but I shrink. My goal now is to increase my metabolism & turning my fat to muscles. Ha.ha. Good luck iDa!
Last night I had this crazy dream that I become a professional sports photographer. LOL. Seriously! Maybe I should take photography seriously, like a profession. OK will continue writing again later!

Currently Im in Starbucks Amcorp Mall having my third toffee nut latte this week. argh. i gotta stop drinking this thing, it bloat me up but i cant stop having this as it is super yummy!
Anyway, just a short post for today basically will review on the latest huge tournament in Malaysia; the most anticipated & yet, quite dissapointing (I feel like it, others would feel otherwise i guess) match between Roger Federer & Pete Sampras.
Yes, I managed to get to see them up-close at Ritz-Carlton where they were staying & Roger r so damn gorgeous. flawless skin, VERY tall & take care of his fan VERY well. I talked to the girlfriend too!! Mirka, she look so distant & never smiles etc but when i tap her shoulder & asked her about photos etc she politely reject to take picture with me, i expected she would just trash me & say sorry i dont take pictures with fans but she did it with grace & manners. So yeah, Im happy
Ok the game wasn’t that good & wasn’t that bad either. Pete still with his aces & cross court shots & so did Roger. Pete even ‘bully’ some of umpire & balls boy (Ha,ha) & everybody had fun watching the tournament. It was like ‘friendly match’ between the two as compared with Nadal & Gasquet match is more like a real tournament. Even Sharon expected this match to be boring. But it wasn’t that boring though, just not up to what we expected. ha.ha
Our seat was at the VERY last row of the stadium which from the seat, we can see a very tiny dot of 2 playing tennis. So as usual, I went down to the rm400+ zone & sat on the stairs with others professional or amateur photographers with their huge lenses & dSLRs. I, however sat there with my 3MP small olympus camera. Ha,ha. Kinda feel a lil’ bit embarrassed but I don’t care. However, I managed to get good shots of Federer & Sampras even with my 3MP digital camera. i SO want a dSLR! When i get a job later on I’ll save enough cash & buy one! SOMEDAY!
Yesterday late afternoon, Sharon & I walked to the 11th tennis court & had a final match together (Sad, Im leaving KL soon while she will be losing tennis playmate). We both sucks at the game. ha.ha. but had fun playing together. Hopefully we’ll still play this gentlemen’s game even after leaving university. sob.sob. We then had dinner at 12th College cafeteria. She had her yummy tomyam soup & im having my salty fish fried rice. Both still taste the SAME! ha.ha. Im SOOO going to miss UM. seriously.
I just bought Heroes Season 1 DVD & 2 other movie DVDs & TLC greatest hits (for 10 bucks! ha.ha. & it is original, mind u!). Will watch these soon & I got nothing else to do.
Piare just text me too hoping to go out with me tonight to the fly.fm party at 1Utama tonight. Too bad i got another plan tonight, if not i’ll sure looove to hang out with her. She’s fun! hehe.
Oh yeah, my internet account got suspended. Seems that I finished up my 350 hours in 20days. Ha.ha. Serve me well!
Yesterday (21/11/07) we checked out from the hotel around 10 am & took a cab back to MC. We were planning to crash in to the Cocktail Reception at Shook! as the occasion require invitation card to get in only. sigh.
We arrived at Bukit Bintang around 2pm & had lunch at Kenny Roger at the Bintang Walk. We then went to Pavilion & went gaga at Forever 21. ha.ha. Sharon managed to grab some skinny jeans & me some lingerie. By the time we paid our purchases it was already 5.08pm! OMG! We’re going to be late to do stalking & crashing party.
We were walking around the Starhill Gallery & looking for back entrance etc as IM SO sure they will not enter the building from the main entrance. I didn’t realize that there is a bridge connecting Starhill Gallery & Ritz Carlton!
So by the time we get to the entrance of Ritz Carlton, plenty of reporters, photographers & fans were already waiting at the entrance. I asked one lady tourist whats happening (pretend that i don’t know what happening, haha) & she said the tennis players going to arrive from the airport soon!
Yes, indeed soon was only a couple of minutes! Pete & Roger came in black merc.
Some huha going on when the press took pictures of them because somebody pushing the photographer & he was pissed off & making scene! Not a good image to potray Malaysian image to the number 1 tennis player.
The chinese friendly & helpful event management guy helped me to take pictures of Roger during the firsh photoshoot at the entrance! thanks to him! muah! We were then followed the crowd to the level 1 of the hotel, the conference room where press conference going to be held. Of course the same guy said fans are not allowed to enter. So we were just hang out outside the conference room. We chat with few other tennis fans hoping to get an autograph from the player & snap some photos. We chat with a good looking guy in bright green polo tee, lady with 2 daughters that managed to get Nadal signature & grab his bicep (LOL), young lady named Cheryl & his husband, super hardcore fan of Pete Sampras in grey shirt guy & others. We were chatting over the tournament, our favourite player & even attempt to get their autograph & pictures. It may sound silly but this is what the usual fans will do. ha.ha. the lady with kids has a guts to STOP Pete & get his autograph.
Pete wasn’t really into interacting with his fan as compared to Roger. Pete walked straight in to the Conference room, private meeting with YTL chairman & even to Shook!. I managed to walk next to Pete & asking his autograph but he was just looking at me with some smile but thats all. No autograph, photos with him etc. I talked to him when we were walking from the hotel to the Starhill Gallery bridge.
As for Roger, he actually stopped & sign a couple of autograph before entering the press conference & promised will go out & sign for us again. He take care of his fan very well! sharon managed to get her journal & tennis ball sign by him. I took a lot of pictures at every angle showing his cute face. He’s super tall in person!
Oh, on the way to the Shook!, i managed to tap Roger’s gf shoulder and chat with her!
I asked her can i take picture with her? And she replied sorry she can’t because if she take picture with me other fans will follow the lead etc. She’s so polite! surprising! Because when you look at her, she NEVER smile. Anyway, I said ‘alright, it’s okay. Can you say hi to him (Roger)? and she said ’sure’. I thank her after than and she & the rest of the guards went down to the Shook! area. I went down too, using the same escalator! seems like im part of the group. ha.ha.
anyway, i took some shots of them at the stage etc & left the building.
We drop by to the nearest starbuck & ordered my toffee nut frap & some sandwich for dinner. and thats all the excitement today. Glad that we managed to get something from the outing. SO it wasn’t so wasted after all (even after the disapointment that Nadal is not in Malaysia already).
I’ll blog again later for the Clash of the Times. got to go and sleep now. ciao.
Im currently in Bangsar Village, sipping my much anticipated drink- toffee nut latte!
yeay! finally its here! season greetings!
hahahha. i’ve been asking the barista when are they going to serve toffee nut in Starbucks everytime I order my drink. Ha ha and i get the same answer everytime. sigh.
but now its here! so Im going to enjoy it while i can! i love toffee nut latte. go and try it!
4.11pm – k im back in MC. Ah, such a tiring day. I don’t know why, I sleep more than before (8 hours/day) and still feel lethargic. SO basically I spent my morning and afternoon in Telawi Bangsar area (Yep, great way to spend sunday in KL).
As i walk around the area, I came across one boutique selling shoes & accessories. It’s called Elo. They have a very nice range of shoes with a reasonable price. Of course Im planning to buy one the moment i entered the shop but what really captured me was the bag. It is such a simple messenger-kinda bag with adjustable strap. It looks very neatly manufactured etc. I fell in love with the off-white bag & yes, bought it straight away. Moreover, it is less than 100 bucks!
ha,ha. there goes me shopping without thinking again. Since Im in Kl, i’ve created this unhealthy habit, of doing things unexpectedly. For example, last monday I was so damn bored in the room and it was raining the whole afternoon. I was a lil’ moody as well due to the weather. So when the rain stop, I feel like working out. At first I want to play tennis but since the rain just stopped, it is impossible as the court were still wet. Without further planning on what else to do i just slip on my Moire nike & workout attire & start jogging! Jogging is sooo not my forte! I ended up with muscle pull on both of my front thigh the next day. ha,ha. I feel good after jogging though. Must do that again sometime.
I can’t wait to go to the tennis tournament. I was at the bookstore in Bangsar Village reading one magazine; interview with Rafael Nadal & roger Federer by some local magazine (I kinda forgot the name of the mag tho’). Wasn’t much information there but it just trigger me to think of crashing their Cocktail Reception. ha,ha! Unfortunately I don’t have the VIP invitation of that reception. It’s going to be held at one of the restaurant in Starhill Gallery, KL. I soooo want to meet them in person! and take lotsa snap with them! Im still finding my way though!
Anyway, good weather now. will write again later tonight or something. gotta run to the tennis court because I feel like jumping around now (due to the high concentration of caffeine + toffee nut in my blood, lol).
Until then. ciao.
