No to Radioactive

Last year, I did a research on the radioactive tragedy that happened to Chernobyl many years ago. It was my research topic for one of my subject related to sustainable and environmental engineering. I study sustainable every year and almost in each of my semester, after the research on Chernobyl that got me super extra worried about Malaysia handling a chemical processing plant producing radioactive wastes. The last thing I want, the last thing we want, are radioactive wastes being produced in Malaysia.

Okay I understand Chernobyl case cannot be a comparison to this Lynas plant. Chernobyl was a nuclear plant, Lynas is just a simple chemical processing plant. Yes, it's only a chemical processing plant, no nuclear reactor no nothing. That's what the authorities are trying to tell us. However the wastes that the plant produce are radioactive. They claimed the doses are low, in fact many times lower than other radioactive element. Try inhaling the same amount for the next 50 years. The thing about radioactive element is its half life, it is there for a thousand and million years. 

In the first place, why is this refinery plant built in Malaysia? Not Australia? Why bother coming to Malaysia? Why bother spending extra cost to go through all the hassle of transporting the rare earth here?  I know Malaysia has cheaper labour, we have the raw material that you want nearby Lynas in Pahang. But hello? This is Malaysia! A country famous for corruption, famous for the weak enforcement of law. Our rivers are dirty as hell, a simple job for keeping the river clean fails. I've never in my life see a clean river in Malaysia. Even in the KL city, the river are muddy and yellowish. And you expect us to handle radioactive wastes? A proper wastes are already difficult enough to manage, let alone radioactive wastes? wtf.

You say its very safe if its managed well. Who can give a 100% guarantee to radioactive shits. The risk is low but heck we want 0 risk. First world and so much more experienced country like Japan and USA failed to deal with radioactive disasters. Let alone Malaysia? You say it's so safe bla bla bla. China who used to produce 90% of the world rare earth had scaled down their production due to health cancer concerned. So now Lynas wants to take over, and you choose to build it here. The funny thing is, it has been given a 12 year free of tax benifits. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? Has our fucked up government gone nuts? 

GO BACK TO AUSTRALIA AND KILL YOUR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. NOT HERE.

Even better, if it were in Australia you don't have to kill anyone. Cuz Australia has so much better waste management and law enforcement. Malaysia tak boleh.

Happy Valentines ♥

Before I talk about Valentine's Day, let's talk about yesterday night teehee.


By drove all the way to TTDI because I requested for the infamous Sid's Pub's burger! I know I know I'm a damn evil girlfriend, I only have these sorts of request like once in a year. I believe they are plenty of other way more evil girlfriends. hahahah. I feel damn guilty also okay, but its just way too much to resist such temptation. So, I damn *gam dong*. Thank you very much my love! 

Sids pork burger + bacon + fried egg! 

closer hahah. the pork petties was so good.

I got a glass of Guinness draught for free. Damn love Sids Pub. Too bad it's too far from my house ish.

oh oh! I saw hits's Ean when I was walking out of the pub. He was there in Sid's!! eating at 12.30am. Hmm he was suppose to be on air at 6am man. omg I like him alot la, damn cute. Cannot believe I saw him with my own eyes , inches away hahah. He saw me too but too bad la he will forget about me the next second. *shakes head*

Okay back to my valentines ♥

Because this year's valentine's day was on Tuesday, a weekday, a working day, we postponed our celebration to Friday. However to be honest, I feel it's a waste of money to celebrate on the actual day itself. Perhaps I have been in a too long too stable comfortable stage in a relationship, Valentine's day to me its just like any other day. Nothing so special, spending time with your loved ones is more than enough. To me, anniversary is more important hehe =)

So on Friday we had "mall hopping" session. We hopped from Midvalley to Pavilion to KLCC. Spent almost 20 bucks on parking. wtfbbq. We finally settled down in KLCC for a meal at Ben's. 

I always wanted to try Ben's. Passed by Ben's a gazillion time but never had the chance to try. Once I sat down I read the reviews on foursquare *should have done it before sitting down rite*. All the reviews were saying the one in Pavilion is million times better than KLCC's. oh shit. 

mushroom soup. omg the weirdest mushroom soup ever!! It has truffle oil in it. like shit. I remembered Gordon Ramsay mentioned something about truffle oil in masterchef. He said it was the most pungent ridiculous ingredients ever known to chef. Was this the truffle oil that he complained about. If it was he was so damn right.

some mushroom spaghetti. not bad.

crispy duck comfit. as recommended by one of the waiter over there. it was nice for the initial bites. but turn ohmygodlikeshit after that. I don't know if it was suppose to be like this but the oil was dripping from my mouth when I was trying to put the pasta into my mouth. =.= it was so...ewwwy? and the duck comfit was so salty. urgh!

but the drinks are nice =)

see the oil? urgh. mayb it was just me but this dish was just bad. Should try Pavilion's next time.

Finally brought baby a watch. My dream come true ♥

♥

Now he has too many watches. =.=

A Brand New Year ♥

All of their children are back =) moreover it was my grandpa's 80th birthday!! but still, my Uncle Denis wasn't here. Still not perfect. sigh.

As mentioned before, this new year I only have one and only resolution, STUDY HARD SMART EVERYDAY.

♥ My beloved aunt ♥

Everyone has their very own favourite childhood memory. And because its a childhood memory it means so much to you and you can't help but figure it somehow helped shaped the person that you are today.
She's one of the most important person in my life. She was my favourite childhood companion heh, she taught me stuff that beyond words can describe. You know how I always mention how much I love Sound of Music, Marry Poppin and all other classic Disney cartoons? She was the one who brought all the VCRs and sang and danced together with me, even before I could even talk. My English was extremely good when I was a kid, thanks to her perfect English. =)  Too bad my English went down the drain over the years. *sobs*


Until today, all the VCRs are still with me =)  Like what Barney says to Ted in the latest HIMYM's episode "You're the only idiot that I know that still owns a VCR player". hahah. I'm that idiot too. 


My aunt recently flew to KL to visit us. I have been dying to meet her all the time, her last visit to m'sia was in 2005? And, her last cny celebration with us was in 1991? omg so long agooooo! But the last time I met her was in Melbourne in 2009 =D  I wanted to bring her around but too bad I was working, so I only managed to bring her around twice during her 2 week stay. so darn guilty =((  


Nevertheless I enjoyed my time with her  ♥

 ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Received a lovely gift from her and her hubby Uncle Denis. omg I was so so so surprised. Absolutely loved it. Until now I still can't *dont want to* finish it. One of the best I've ever tasted. Mustsavemoneygomelbournetoeat argh!! Thank you  ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I MUST SAVE MONEY. I MUST GO MELBOURNE AGAIN. I MUST GO WITH MR.BOYF THIS TIME. 

6 more days to hell

I realize I posted too many pictures in just one day. Tsk tsk tsk. Actually I know when I was posting it yesterday *how could I not know* lol but to be fair too many pictures were missing for the previous posts as well!!! So I could not hold myself anymore when it comes to pictures heh but okay I shall give them a break, just this post. They are still gazillions pictures waiting to be discovered lol.


6 more days. To. Hell. It's not like my first day of uni or what but I've never felt so afraid and miserable before in my life. The last time I had this same feeling was 2-3 years back when all my close uni friends abandoned me for Australia T______T but it wasn't as scary as now. Because I know nobody in my uni now. T__________T


I shall take a lot of pictures this semester. Why?! It's gonna be mr.boyf's very last semester. Sigh. After this semester I will be completely alonee. omgwtfbbq. No more driving to uni together, no more eating and studying together during finals. I know I'm uber dependent.. But it's not easy to let goooo T_________T
I just want to graduate as soon as possible. Please..


Time table is out this morning.. For the first time since first year I have classes on Friday omgwtfbbq! Nooooo but I need to attend, cannot skip! Sigh. Worse still it's until 5pm. Spoil my weekend mood ish. 


I will study very very hard this year. Not kidding. I will study everyday after class I swear! This is my only new year resolution. 

Last Christmas..

Last Christmas I spent it with my baby and friends. At Melia hotel and JY's crib. Close, intimate and peaceful gathering suit old lads like us the best hahaha. 

Went to try Melia's buffet. No one was there except for me and mr.boyfriend. Seriously. The whole dining floor only had one occupied table, our table. =.=

But the food to be honest was not that bad. Where were the customers?! Funny thing was, before this I tried to google food review for Melia but it came out zero search result. Very weird. Why none of you wants to give this place a chance to prove you wrong. lol.

I'm not saying the food was superbly good but it was really okay. 

But. of course the dessert is nothing comparable to shang ri la's. =p

<3

I just love pictures of friends and family. 

A blissful girl like me...

I'm deeply loved. 


Nothing beats having a great family in your life. I'm so blessed to even have both of my grandparents by my side every single day.. It's my biggest dream.. for them to see me get married one day. It's my biggesst biggest dream. 


It always saddens me to know how the older generation suffers and sacrifices so much to earn a living last time. I cry everytime when I listen to the past. How my family lived through their everyday lives. We weren't born rich, so much hard work was done to guarantee a better life. Their story of life can be written and transformed into a best selling novel ever. The story was amazing, true story heh. They really thought me the true meaning of perseverance, the way they overcome obstacles were just unbelievable. Without them, I wouldn't be here happily blogging away. I'm greatly blessed.




Shang-ri-la & Furama

I know many of you had tried the famous shang ri la buffet. Sad to say it was my first time trying few months back lol. The food was really good. I especially love the dessert. The dessert was so damn delicious I tell you! Will definitely come back for more, especially for dessert omg! For those who have yet to try please try it out. You will definitely come back for more, like me! hahahah. 

my all time favouritee! scallop yummeh!!

Next, BBQ poolside buffet at a newly open hotel named Furama. The ambience was pretty okay, actually it was really nice. However the service and food were so darn bad. Really bad. I can get a so much better BBQ food from me and my friend's BBQ party not long ago. My friends can cook so much better food than Furama omg. Nevertheless I enjoyed my time with my family and mr.boyf tagged along too! 

 My very pretty grandma. She's even prettier 40 years ago hehehe
