Yes, on the Internet meme proposal - 2 thumbs up!

This video made me tear up this morning 

I'm really a sucker for sentimental anything 

*sobs*

This was actually a marriage proposal made by Timothy Tiah, Nuffnang's founder, to his girlfriend of 3 years, Audrey Ooi. 


What made this particular proposal different was that he was using Internet memes as a medium of proposal.  Consequently, this made headlines even internationally! Get this, millions hits on Vimeo, 9GAGers, YouTube, gets a trending in Twitter Phillippines and (brace for it!) ALSO gets Christina Perri and Ryan Seacrest's attention! (Seacrest shared the video on his Facebook page)


This is undoubtedly phenomenal!


Here's a sneak peak of 1 of the Internet headlines : 

Internet Memes wedding proposal goes viral: Nuffnang founder proposes to gf

A clever meme proposal by Timothy Tiah to his girlfriend Audrey Ooi has been liked by E! host Ryan Seacrest and shared by websites like Huffington Post and Mashable. Here's the touching proposal. Congrats to the couple!

To read (and cry your hearts out) on the life-changing proposal, visit here. 

My take on this? 

Well, as for the video, I've watched it twice, AND cried twice too.

Personally I've seen better videos but his idea is awesome and I love the loving look that Audrey has for Timothy at 4:30-4:32.

As for the proposal, a skeptic turned believer, who wouldn't guessed?

That's what they call, love :)

Things that make me go awwww (and melt)

Was blog-browsing for cupcakes/cakes pages when I stumbed upon these beauties..

TADAAAA..

I love the cake on the right, pure white cake with a burst of beautiful pink, beige and maroon colours on top.

Simply beautiful.. I'd want this kind of cake if I (ever) get married :P

I love this one right here, it's a popcorn cupcake!

So cute!

Girlfriends's outing ♥

This is actually a back-dated blog entry. It was a day I went out with one of my best girlfriends, Azlene (on Christmas day, to be exact). I haven't seen her in ages (probably 2 months) 'cos we've been busy with our own thang ;)

So we met up in Sunway Pyramid, had some gossip session while eating our yummy desserts away. 

Azlene is one of those friends who can instantly lit up your day with just her smile, seriously. One of my girlfriends even commented on Lene's eyes as 'smiling eyes'. Yup, true (please verify the statement from the photos below). 

Anyways, after having our desserts (get this, we have not even had our main course yet, Delicious was waving its pavlova and red velvets at us when we're passing it), we went for our shopping spree. I got myself several tops and a pair of flat shoes which I was kind of aiming for ;) 

First time trying Pavlova

Lene and her red velvet

DIG IN!

I love us!

Have you seen anything like this amazing shoe store?

It's 'Payless' of Sunway Pyramid's new wing

Each aisle represents 1 shoe size

We finally found Christian Siriano's shoe in this store (not the one Lene is holding though) 

Loving outings with besties!

Year-end food feast!

Okay peeps, more on FOOD! :P

Hehe.. as I said, we can't live without them can we?

Anyhoo, last Friday, my office had its yearly end-of-year food feast, sponsored by the company. So what we had was Japanese sushis and California rolls, Kenny Rogers chicken, Snowflake ice-creams, homemade hotdogs, Chatime bubble teas etc. Here's some shots for yah..

Salmon, tuna and egg sushis

What I took, nyums...

Chatime rock BIG TIME!

Yep, the whole truckload's here!

California rolls in the making

my Kenny Rogers chicken thigh with original sauce

There were lots of leftovers that night as well, so some of us had second, third and even fourth servings as well!

Hopefully next year we'll have more vendors coming in ;)

Farewell B!

I've finally blocked the B from my FB account. 

The first time I've EVER removed AND blocked anyone on my FB.

But she's just too much this time. 

Last Friday she made a scene AGAIN.

She had recently finished a macro-based process improvement idea, so she sent an email together with the macro and procedures attached to the rest of us team, plus our supervisor.

Having tested the very same macro before this, I tested again the macro that she attached to see if there are any changes to the testing macro. No changes, except that when I ran the macro, it failed because of a wrong location of a file in the macro. For the previous testing macro, I detected the error and fixed the bug in the macro script and even tested along with a few others. So for this finalised one, the same bug appeared and of course, I pointed out to her that the location for the file in the macro script and the procedures is wrong. Otherwise, the macro wouldn't be able to generate the correct output. Come on, I was a computer science student okay?

And I guess, she was taken aback. The funny thing was that she immediately answered, "That procedure was sent by the Senior Manager to me."

So basically she's saying that all these things are NOT her work! (when all this while she prides herself in saying she did the macro and the procedures) BLAH! SO LAME!

I suggested that she changed the macro script and procedures to reflect the correct location of the file (it was on an A drive instead of Z drive). Senang jer, just change Z to A lah kan? 

So then she started asking why is mine mapped to A? I answered, everyone's mapped to A, why is yours mapped to Z? 

She then asked the Supervisor, does she need to change the drive. Supervisor pun satu. He answered, "Well, it depends on which drive you've mapped it to." So atas pagar punye jawapan. 

My next-door cubicle partner then pointed out that when we first started the process, the Manager herself has specifically instructed us to map everything to A drive. 

I was so furious by then, that I quickly searched my entire Outlook for the said instruction via email. And there it was, clearly stating (or instructing rather) that everyone should map to A drive. Felt like forwarding the mail to both my Supervisor and the bitch. 

But I decided against it. 

I mean, seriously, what's so hard about changing a drive name in your macro script? It's not like I'm asking you to change the entire macro for God's sake! I even had a feeling that she didn't even do the script, that was  why she was so flabbergasted when I asked her to change her goddamned script!

And the great thing was that, that whole drama spoiled my ENTIRE Christmas weekend! ENTIRE!

I had no mood on Saturday, I lashed out a lot on my boyfriend (pity him :'( thank God he's very sabar) and after much pujuk, I finally got my mood back on Sunday. Love you, sayang!

So, farewell B!

Just for the record, last Friday the Senior Manager came to us personally and made sure everyone's drive was mapped to A!


TRIUMPH!

We can't live without 'em, can we?

I would normally blog about things that interest me. One of the obvious, is FOOD! 

Array of Indian delicacies that was served buffet-style at my office 

for Deepavali celebration

@ Paddington House of Pancakes, Midvalley

also at Paddington's. 

I simply LOVE their pancakes!

Sago gula melaka, Kitchen Village, Cyberjaya

Obviously,

SUSHI KING!

This is one of my favourite dish and I will always pick it up from the conveyor belt

Salmon cheese croquette! Nyums!

Salmon skin, my beau's favourite

This is actually a one-of dish they have in IKEA (something like Manager's special)

It's called Nasi Ayam Sarawak
Nothing Sarawak-ish about this dish, it's just that personally I think that this dish dubs 

Sarawak's very own fast-food restaurant, Sugarbun's, famous rice dish

Yup, the ever classic IKEA meatballs! *screams*

Bento set from Jusco food court, One Utama

Cookies & Cream waffles, Gelare

Salmon dish, Ayers Rock, The Strand

Beef burger, also from Ayers Rock, The Strand

Seafood platter, The Manhattan Fish Market, e-Curve

Seriously filling, I tell you!

Clams fra diavolo, Italiannies, Curve

Turkey ham and cheese pizza, also Italiannies, Curve

I actually had the urge to have some crisp thin pizza that day, so I opted for this instead of the usual Shrimp Alio Oglio

So there you go, favourite food and favourite makan spots. 

What made me how I am today :D
