Hahahahahaha....







Dramas!!!

Talk about dramas… Dad and Bronze had a huge argument…the thing is that their argument is in different language… Dad’s language is English and Bronze… well he is from doggie land…

What started out as a misunderstanding (Bronze chasing bikes and Dad yelling at him to get into the house) ends up with my mom in the emergency room and Bronze with a black eye! Poor Mom…caught in between both of them… so Bronze accidentally bite Mom and Dad whack Bronze!! Havoc… Screams… and plenty of blood we rush Mom to the Emergency Room to get her hand look after…while poor Bronze was left to lick his swollen eye at home…

Did not know what hit me…but when Dad said he wants to send Bronze away for biting Mom, I broke down… can’t imagine the house without Bronze… yes no doubt we have Scottie, Dexter and Dee Dee ( the terrible twins), but it just would not be the same… Bronze is gentle and lovable… yes sometimes he get a bit rough and grouchy and vicious ( he hates people yelling, motorbikes and black people…can’t help it if Bronze is racist!!), but I know he loves us all… very protective of us all…I called the vet and he told us what to do…hubs gave Bronze half an aspirin to ease the pain and let him alone to calm down…Poor Bronze…but hubs said he is a tough cookie…

This morning… Bronze is still bitter over last night’s incident… and I really hope that he and Dad make up… *sigh*. After all this commotion, our Royal Majesty Scottie had an allergy attack at his koo koo bird area…so off to the vet… which was good…cause I took pictures of Bronze to let the vet examine… the veterinary bill came up to RM200!! But hey…it’s for the two boys…

*Sigh* I really hope Bronze get to stay on… after all he is 49 human years…
DRAMAS!!

This Week’s Obsession: Personal Hand Made Cards @ Smida Paper*

Yes you got it…personal hand made cards…my good friend Debs dragged me to a card making class on Saturday morning… first of all, I have not got a clue on how to make a card…don’t you just buy a A4 cardboard and fold it into half?? And then scribble some notes inside…voila...and you’ve got a personalized card! Urm…not really…nopes…nadda… making a card is well…interesting… they have what you call a “scoring tool” to fold the paper/card, and a “slicing tool” to cut your paper, “pop-up” stickers to make a 3D effect of the card… different types of embellishments, glues, paints, tags…stamps…and the list go on…

Yes…yes… me being crafty?? Ha ha ha… no I did not glue my fingers together, nor did I staple my shirt to the table! So…there were 3 of us in the class with our ever young and creative “master” Aster… (sweet and very patience gal). She started us with a birthday card, the followed by a wedding card and finally a card of our choice…it tool us blardee 4 hours to finish the cards… (I think the older you are the more difficult to learn!!), I not only bought 300 bucks of paper (call me crazy) but I am going to sign up for Scrapbook Program… I think I might have a talent in creating stuff… for now la…so much FUN FUN FUN!!!

Nonsense Shit From My Head: Part 3

I never knew that starting a brand new home would be so costly and time consuming… I have moved plenty of times over the 5 years living in Melbourne… I don’t remember it being so difficult and costly… so I sat down preteding to work ( with frowning and all) doing what I love to do most… “Analyze” nonsense. I figure that over the 5 years I was in Melbourne I was collecting stuff…so it did not seem a lot or difficult and most importantly…I could get most household stuff by just going to 2 or 3 places… but…noooo…not in sunny Penang… it is frustrating when it comes to buying stuff…it is like everywhere!!! *pissed*

Any hoo…thank god for mom… she knows where to get the best bargain…but it is tiring driving around to different places just to get something… *pissed again* I hope * fingers cross* everything will be done soon… I hate the feeling of “hanging”

Some People....

Frustrated! Yea I am…why are some people so “careful” with money? I know it is good to be careful but when you spent on something, you would see the worth, the person and the situation of spending the money! AARgghhhh… I mean what is a few hundred bucks to throw a hen’s getaway for 2 brides-to-be in Langkawi?

Commitments?! Yes everyone has commitments…I blardee have commitments, mortgages, the cost moving into a new place, putting savings away to start a family… but we are talking bout 2 closest friends of almost 20 years getting married… do u actually put a price on that? We are all working adults… not some college kids asking money from the old folks!!

From what I know, I for one would never EVER put a price on friendship, not on a friendship that has we have all seen thru good and bad times. And to have both the brides agree to share a hen’s event? How nice and considerate of them to do so!! They are thinking of our financial situation and not to tax so much on us…but seriously… a few hundred not even near a thousand for a 3 days 2 nights getaway in a resort in Langkawi!! Unbelievable!!

Nonsense Shit From My Head-In Writting :Part 2

Friday at last! I was worried when today would come…my eyes are shutting… due to sleeping late nite… (after a good bottle of pinot rose with my best best gals… bar hopped and join another bunch of friends for a quick glass of wine.) It’s good to be out but it’s not good to work the next day!

Anyways… I did a terrible terrible thing yesterday…I curi curi work again… I went for a manicure and pedicure at 3pm!!...hehehe I am so noti skipping work like that… but this time it was my mom who dragged me there…so not entirely my fault! I am so bored at work… I need something exciting… *sigh*

Mantra for the day: I must poo… yikes…yes I am constipated… (why am I sharing this with the world!!??) I am talking nonsense again… hhmm… I wanna eat nasi kandar with telur masin and kuah campur with fried chicken in kunyit…yummmers…

So after 4 hours of 1 stylist director and her 3 assistants, coloring, highlighting, washing, treating and cutting my hair… the end result… ta daaaaaa…
Yea rite… I do not look anything like the babe in the pic… but then…my hair looks like hers…with the loose curls and sotong ends…which surprise surprise…I happen to like it… well just maybe I have yet to wash my hair… lets see after a wash and dry by myself… if I still look like that then…fui yoh...then I need to work on my body…ha ha ha!! Well…unfortunately, the hubs said I still look the same…his response was “what did they do to your hair?” I was like what the f**k!!!...I blardee spend 4 hours and almost 400 bucks and you can’t tell the difference?!!” aiyah…leave it the men… they don’t really bother… To men, if it is not a drastic change they will not notice…!

My Messy Crown of Rambut

I need to do either color my hair or cut my hair, do both…just do something to my frizzy head…I can’t go anywhere without either looking like I just step out from the set of lion king or all bun up like some school teacher. And my roots…oh my roots…its like two tones now…can’t decide black or rusty red/brown…

Ok Ok… I will go and get it done right away…

This Week's Multiple Obsessions

I have once again return to my obsession and this time around I am suffering from multiple obsessions…

numero uno: funny romantic novels from the little black dress series. No I am not into explicit romance novels…

second up: interior design magazines and furniture shops ( that is ‘cause I am renovating now…it will soon pass)

3: The Ahimsa
http://www.theahimsa.com/ shit! I am so in love with the place!!! Its like permanently my screen saver now!

Empat: blogging…like “duh”!!! silly me…

Why why why … am I not obsess over losing weight … I think my weight will always be an obsession below the surface… “I need to lose weight”…I have to chant it like a mantra…maybe I will just miraculously lose it all… HAH! Fat chance! Damn I am still procrastinating on exercising…!

The View : Part 3

Our “View” is under heavy construction at the moment… with hacking and tearing down of walls and toilets and sinks… we have turned the “maid’s” room into a laundry room…yes I am going to live without a maid…heard horrible stories ‘bout maids…a few drove my mom up the wall!!

-the laundry-

Then, we also hacked the wall from the dry kitchen to my ultra small wet kitchen to make it into a open plan kitchen…even I still can’t have my island but…our “Pinto” has one…so ya!...and to make space for my ever growing shoe collection to live in, hub’s has turn the powder room into a shoe room…yay!!! I now have a room for my precious precious shoes!!! God bless my hubs! And for that he gets a shelf for his shoes!

Backyard Blitz

It has been almost 3 years since we moved in and my garden was slowly dying due to our non-existence attention! We finally decided on doing a proper landscaping job…and yes it was very PROPER as it cause us a BOMB!!! (note to self-DIY is essential). Noooo we did not DIY it, we paid a bunch of young, hot, (desperate housewife equivalent) men to do the deed! Hehehehe…I do pray to God that I would not slowly kill it… if I can kill Aussie native plants; then I have lost all hope in finding my green thumb!
