Oreo Cupcakes and playing b*tchy...

So a lot has happened, so before i go to the delicious oreo cupcakes i made, i had a very bad encounter at work. Ok so, my colleague who i am currently relieving is now on her core leave and is in china for holiday. The thing is she sends monthly statistics to HK every month and it so happens she sent out the mail for june but did not update the figures in it. So HK sent it back to us asking the figures. The thing is everytime she goes on leave, i do update her statistics but she has never showed me or told me about this one. So after really trying to study the excel file and the spreadsheets in it, i manage to figure how to get the figures for half of it and i tried trying to figure out the other half. When i could not figure it out, i smsed her asking her where do i get the figure and that i managed to find half of it and i told her, she can either sms me back or email me on facebook. She then replied insisting that she already sent out the figure and asked me to recheck whether the mail was sent out. I then replied to her and said yes, u did send out the mail but u did not update the figures. And i asked her, where can i find these figures. She then smsed me back asking me to figure it out, and said i should learn because who knows she might leave soon so i have to know all these things. and the she said, if you want my reply, send her some credit because she was running low.

When i read that reply, i was boiling MAD!! i mean seriously, u did not tell me about these figure nor have i ever seen it in my life and u asked me to learn by myself and then have the nerve to ask me for credit?HELL TO THE NO!!! GO TO HELL GIRL!!!! And oh, i'm using a prima so i can't send u no credit nor am i going to waste my money on such crappy replies!!
So in the end i figured it out, and i replied to her and i quote "It's ok i figured it out already. U leave? Seriously? I hope i leave before you do.... hahahaha" And you know, i have been in the department for 1 year and there are things that i am still learning and you know everytime i ask her questions about work which i seriously don't know answers to, she always say to me "U THINK LA".... Seriously... WTF!!!! I usually brush it off but this was the last straw!!! I asked u a question because i really don't know the answers to them because if i knew, i would not ask you and i don't want to do anything until i'm doing the right thing... because i dun want a small mistake to become a huge hoo-ha... I was so pissed. so u know, if she wants bitchy, i'll give her bitch... because she seriously don't know who she's messing with.... I maybe quiet an all but girl it's SO ON!!! U ain't getting any mercy from me anymore!!!

Enough of the angry parts... So on a brighter note, i made Oreo Cupcakes... i googled the recipe and i combined it with one of my vanilla cupcake recipes and it turned out great!!! My sister says it not too sweet and it's just nice =D


cupcakes waiting to be baked.


The oreo with the cream side up goes at the bottom before u fill it in with the batter.

The final product the oreo cupcake!!! I was just curious on how it would taste like so there it is =D

Since i'm typing and all, i might as well give u the recipe to try... you can also substitute the oreo for nutella, just add a small scoop on nutella on top of the batter and using a toothpick, swirl it around... the nutella cupcakes are a hit with everyone... i have made them a lot of times =D u know what i will put a picture as well =)

Last weekend was CRAZY!!!

Hey all! hope all of you are doing good! Well as the title says, last weekend was crazy for me because i went to Miri, with them bankers to play paintball. It was fun!!! each player gets to play 4 games!!! Fun fun!!! i nearly fainted because i did not eat and i was lucky, one of my fren's younger sister saved me with her lollipop... hahahahah.... yes, one small lollipop makes a difference. if you are interested, you can visit their website here, but it has not been updated for quite a while, so it's best to contact Mr Liew via email or sms to get the rates. i got shot twice, yes only twice because i kept hiding behind the bunkers and only started shooting when no one was shooting at me.... i knew some of the ppl i was up against were quite frustrated with me because they could never get a good shot at me... hahahahaah... strategize ppl!!! hehehehe.... overall, it was fun! and the gun was very heavy but it was worth it =D here are some pictures i managed to snap before i played. and oh if you were were wondering where i got shot, it was on a sensitive part of my chest and yes, there is a mark even though the person who shot me was so far away... i did feel the pain when i was shot and after... i was just very unlucky not to have lovely and colourful paintball bruises to show off... hahahah

people who were already inside collecting their guns and testing them before they started playing.

the bunkers which can protect you... good hiding places =D



people getting geared up before the game.

That was last weekend, an oh yesterday was a public holiday because it was HM Sultan of Brunei 64th Birthday so i had the day off, i did not do much except catch up on sleep and to recuperate after the tiring weekend. I did however went out to Tarindak D'Polo Jerudong Beach cafe for their ceasar salad and cucur... my older sister, karen went there with they guy she was dating and then myself, kathleen and kak mai followed up after that... i should bring my camera there next time to take pictures of the beach... i really love the scenery there and the food and also that hot waiter. My older sister, karen decided to ask the cute waiter's friend his name and now i know his name and also the waiter that we questioned... hahahaha.... it was so embarrassing and yet so funny... so yeah, i know know both his name and his friend's... will i do anything to action on it? i don't think so... i'm a shy person so i won't do that until i've really lost my mind!!! hahahahahah =D

And oh just tonight i went to the Brunei Speaker's Group 11th Installation Dinner at Ilotus! it was fun and zana was good at singing the mandy moore's only hope... it was an interesting and fun night, i really did enjoy myself =) so yeah, i guess that is is for now, i'll try to blog soon =) muahz!

my water proof camera

The pictures below are not from my team building, it's from the cool people from the 1st floor. I lent my water proof camera to 2 of my friends and they had fun using it underwater. They unleashed the full potential of my water proof camera... i can't swim to save my life so i never thought of playing with it in the pool either... but the pictures my friends took turned out great! they looked amazing and these are the 3 i like the best =D Maybe i should take my camera for a spin when i decide to go swimming or something =D as for my team building, well it's nothing to boast about or worth mentioning. we went to work and then went for lunch and that is it.

A group picture with some of them. Amazing how some of them managed to pose =)

I personally like this shot, wina (the one in green) looks like she's a mermaid, while efah (the one in brown) looks so like she's not even in the water and mizzie (the one in blue) looks like she trying to get some of the spotlight from them... overall, great picture!

Them, trying to pose again under water.

Oh if you're wondering what camera was used in this process, well its the Olympus 1030sw, click here to see a review written on it. That is exactly how my camera looks like and i bought it 2 years ago... so yeah, it works perfectly well under water =D

Also, the colleagues and i are having a small celebration at work on Monday... A celebration for what you ask, its a celebration for "The noisy bunch has finally left the building" celebration... hahahaha... this time round i won't be making dessert, i'll be making nutella swirl cupcakes! yay! To be honest, i think i need to learn how to make new simple desserts, my simple tiramisu and peaches and cream are getting too over rated i think ... and yeah, if you did not know, i like to bake and stuff =D, i guess this is it for now, will try to blog more. muahz and bubyez =))

Seriously, i have World Cup FEVER!!!

Hey all.... Well plenty has happened since i lasted posted =D As the title says, i do have World Cup Fever... hehehe.... so far i have 3 jerseys, Japan, Italy and Brazil. I think i should get the Germany White and Black jersey too... and oh, i watched the Germany vs England game last night... My oh my... england did not do too well... I thought that if they had persisted more and did not give up easily, they could have gone down with pride. Germany was fantastic, great defence but i felt at the end where they could have attempted to score, they did not. Actually they had several opportunities but they hesitated. I see it 2 ways, either they were not confident to shoot or they were trying to tire out the Brits... Overall, well played for Germany!

Enough of World Cup on to other things =D I went down to Miri on Saturday with my sis, kak mai and amoi at 4pm. We then went to KB just to eat at Buccaneer around 9++pm. I like eating there, the food is fantastic and cheap! Good place to eat also if you want to go dating *wink wink* Also another great place to eat is D'Tarindak Polo Beach Cafe. You know that beach cafe down the hill from D'Tarindak in Jerudong.... I LOVE going there, i love their Ceasar Salad and their cucurs.... Mind you, they do not open on Mondays and operating hours daily are from 2pm till 10pm and cucurs are only available before 6pm. Not much choices of food but i find it a good place to eat with a great view. and oh, i saw a HOT waiter there too... heheheheeh... i like looking at guys, i'm sorry, what's a girl to do. But the hot waiter has a ring on the ring finger so he's off limits. So girlies, when a man wears a ring, he's off limits and must be avoided. Plus, i ain't no home wrecker, MAN + RING = OFF LIMTS AND DANGEROUS. hehehehe =D So we bankers are now fast approaching the half yearly mark... don't know what my department will be doing... to be honest, i don't really want to do much. I'm lazy. and oh silly random fact, i have not washed my car for at least 3months... so yeah, it's very filthy...heheheh

Wait now i remembered why i wanted to post... i was re-reading my previous post and OMG!!!! My english has gone down hill... hahahaha =D))) i guess this is it for today and hopefully more posts to come. xoxo KeL

Drunk people, great makeup, World Cup and HOTTIES!!!

Hey all! so i have been missing for over month! I've been lazy to blog and occupied with some stuff. Anywhoos, i'm gonna do a bit of flashback to see what has happened for that 1 month =D For may the biggest highlight was 28May2010, it was the 1 year anniversary of my Dad's passing. May his soul rest in peace. I do think about him every now and then but i don't feel his presence as much as i did a few months ago, so my guess is he's really gone to watch us from above. I've been through a whole ups and downs lately but i'm not too bothered because somehow i know either way everything will be ok and back to how it is.

May also started the functional man craze...hahahaha... okie, this is how it goes. There is this one functional engineering man who once in a blue moon comes to the office. He looks like he's eurasian and i find him hot! i wanna jump on him but i don't know if i have the guts to do so. After the Oscar night, i actually asked my friend, the clairvoyant if i would even meet a guy this year and she just said that i will meet one but i have to approach them first. so yeah, if you see someone who looks just like me, jumping on some dude, oh yeah, you got that right, it is me! hahahaha... so yeah functional man has caught my attention now =D

Now on to June, the first weekend, i attended a colleague's wedding and it was not too bad, i like the food and i had good fun. Then the weekend after that we had a bank event, Oscar Night. My friends and the clairvoyant happen to be in the event committee so i did help them out a bit with the script and the re packing of door gifts the day after. I had fun dancing at the after party and i had a good laugh watch people get drunk at the after "after party". The things people do when they get drunk.

To be honest, i never get drunk or high at these events because i don't know what i will do and i don't want to be the laughing stock the next day. So RULE #1 for big events is DO NOT GET DRUNK! you don't need to get drunk to have a good time, i've watched so many people in the past get drunk for these events that i seriously have a good laugh at them... mean but yeah they seriously don't know what they are doing and they need someone to tell them the next day.

RULE #2, DON'T SLEEP UNTIL EVERYONE LEAVES. with loud music and drunk people, there is no telling what will happen so i did not catch any sleep till 3++am. And also one colleague got so drunk that i had to pull him and made sure he had some sleep before he left with another colleague at 4.30am, which of course i woke up and made sure he was ok to drive. This drunk colleague, so so silly that he logged on to facebook and wrote some things he should not have said on his facebook status. His girlfriend wanted a breakup on his status and blamed us for him being drunk. So boys and girls, if you have a possessive partner, RULE #3, WHEN DRUNK, DO NOT LOG ON TO FACEBOOK. WAIT TILL YOU'RE SOBER. The boy deleted that status and apologized to his girlfriend. Dunno whether he patched things up with his girl tho =D

Anyways, i got Heidi to do my make up and it was AMAZING!!! i did not take much pictures myself, because everything looked yellow in my camera. But i made sure i posed at every chance there was a photog snapping near by. Several people did ask me about my make up and of i course i did advertise. They loved it! so do check out her blog here if you want to see her works =D. You want to know why the make up was amazing, i'll list them out for you =D

1. She made me look HOT!!!! I'm so using her for Annual Dinner next year =D
2. The material that she uses are good quality stuff and it feels light on your face.
   
3. I did plenty of dancing and i sweat a lot too... so when i pat my face with a tissue, my makeup did not run nor did it looked patchy afterwards.
   
4. The makeup lasted till 2++am, i think it could have lasted till the next morning if i did not have to remove my makeup when i needed to sleep.
5. Heidi's cool and funny =D
   
   
   These are the pics i got from her blog, i'm still waiting for the pictures from the dinner to appear so i can grab and see how i great i looked that night =D

Oh, tomorrow i also have another bank event, i'm a volunteer for Cycle for SMARTER... So hopefully that will turn out ok. And also World Cup!!!! I have World Cup fever!!!! Hahahahah... and it seams like i'm the only person in my department who is semangatz for the world cup.... hahahaah... And i bought Japan's Home jersey for $18!!! i want to find Argentina's and USA's jerseys next. I watched the Argentina team played against Korea and i can only say HOT HOT HOT!!! The Argentina men were HOT!!! Especially #9 and #16 HOTNESS i tell you!!! You see because of this argentina match, i wanna jump on men now.... hahahahaaha.... i know i'm crazy but who cares!!! So yeah enough of that... i'll update soon... Muahz!!! xoxo

i had a MAKEOVER!!!!! =D

Hellew !!! so i have disappeared for quite some time... i've been both preoccupied and lazy... hehehehe... work is as usual, a bit crazy. Plus it's soon to be the 1 year anniversary of my father's passing and also in a few months, i'll hit the 3 years mark working in the bank! 3 years, lets hope i can last another 12yrs before i retire and move on to better things =D

Ooohhh... i recently attended a cousin's wedding, both her husband and herself are very young, most probably around 22 or 23 yrs old. What was funny was, during the wedding she had 2 emcees, a male and female. One speaking in English and the other in Malay. So you know they randomly said things and the most bizarre thing they said was and i quote "Both the newlyweds are currently working in Brunei Shell Petroleum eversince they finished their studies." okie. need you tell the world that you're working in one of the best paid companies ever? i must admit, the wedding was very grand and all but need you spend that much on your wedding and show it off to the world? And the hantaran, Diamonds and Platinum! 1 full set!! do you know that it cost u so much to buy diamonds from that place? Did you know that the quality of the diamond is the same as Taka in Singapore, and Taka can give you a better , more sparkly set for cheaper. Ohhhh.... lets not forget the Cannon DSLR (i think) and the Tissot watch! So you know what i said to my sisters, i told them we should also have a wedding as grand as that and then we get the emcee to say "Both the bride and groom are currently unemployed, so any monetary contributions will help them a long way. Thank you." hahahahah... i'm no hater for grand weddings but announcing to the whole world where you work, that's just plain showing off. And spending so much on your hantaran, you know that the items they got probably came out from loans and stuff which you have to pay off your whole life. For me, i would have a simple wedding, around tea time maybe by the beach. D'Tarindak Polo Beach Cafe looks like a good spot for that.. hehehehe ;D

So yesterday, i tagged along with my sister to Heidi's house for a makeover. My sister volunteered to be Heidi's model and when she saw me she decided to do me too!!!! Yay!!! That was my first time at a makeover!!! It was so cool, i really look like a different person, plus my eyes are a bit small...hahahaha... who knew i had chinky eyes right? hahahaha. Overall, i had fun, i really enjoyed the makeover and i will be getting Heidi to do my makeup for a bank event coming up on the second week of june =D)) Oh yeah, if you want to check more of Heidi's work, pls visit her website here. i think my picture and my sis will go up on Monday, i'm very excited!!! heheheh =P



Just need to do something with my hair next time. Enough said =D

Are you Australian?

Hellew all!!! So many things had happened for the past week or so... firstly, it's the Are you Australian question... hahahaah... Well how this came about was very funny, it was around 6.45+++pm and i was still at work calling customers. If i am not wrong, i was about to complete my purpose of calling this last customer, as the conversation was about to end, the person said, "Miss, can i ask you a question?" I was like, "Yes" the customer then said "Are you Australian?" then i went "No" the customer then laughed and told me that my accent sounded Australian... hahahahah... After so long of calling customers, this was the first a customer has commented on the way i talked... hahahaha... i must admit i find it quite hilarious!

Other than that, i had a stalker-ish creepy encounter the other day at the pantry's workplace. To clarify things so that you won't be lost, i shall explain about this man. When i first met this man, he had this funny smile everytime he saw me. And i mean, it was that creepy kinda smile.. from instinct, you know that that smile meant something else... plus he's married and i happen to know his wife. So at work i would try my very best to avoid crossing paths with this man and since i have moved to my new dept, i rarely crossed his path. So i went into the pantry to wash my cup, then the door closed behind me and then there was a soft hello greeting me from the back, i turned, i saw this man and said hi, my head said "oh shit!!!" He then asked me, "you've moved dept already right" i was like "yeah" when in fact i've been in my new dept for already a good 9 mths! then he said " Oh, it's because i never see you pass by near my dept anymore" and i went "oh, i see" then he went on with more questions, "your dept, is that isolated dept at the end right?" i then said "yeah" at this point, i was washing my cup like crazy " then he said "oh, we rarely go round there to visit you all" by this time i finished washing my cup, i turned, smiled and said "yeah we're very far away from others. ok bye" and walked out of the pantry. UUURRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! I don't ever want to be anywhere alone with that man and plus, the pantry is a very small place!!!! eeeeeeeee!!!! creepy much and gatal!!!!

That's all abt work... on a personal note, i have a lot of catching up to do in terms of watching my downloaded series! i have not been updated since the week before i left for Singapore because i was sick. i have downloaded them already but have not watched them yet. I like watching Glee, Vampire Diaries, Community, Accidentally on Purpose, Big Bang theory, just to mention a few ;) So i guess this is it for now, will try to blog more soon =D)) xoxo
