SWD

The funny thing happened to me like 5 minutes ago. Since I have been super duper busy with the house, I have no time to shop… so just an everyday MSN chat I have with hubs…you see, I have been eying the hat from GAP since like ages (well actually only 2 nites ago) and he refuse to buy it for me… and dragged me out from GAP which is having like 50% sales!!! Sooo…I wanna go back to GAP tonight and get it… out little conversation went something like this:

SO you see… I am definitely having a SHOPPING WITHDRAWAL DISORDER (SWD)

P/S: I like creating my own sickness...

A Darker Shade of Grey Day

Once again… a bad day for me… I think all bad things come in 3 rite?? So today is the 3rd day of bad news…tomorrow would be an excellent day!! *fingers cross*

Why bad??!! Well for starters…my precious tiles are cracked by the good for nothing carpenter who refuse to own up… mother fucker!!! So today they have YET to come in to replace the broken tile in my room… my god it’s gonna be so freaking messy… ah I hate this! How hard it is to replace a small roller on my sliding door without fucking everything up?? Besides cracking my floor tile, they scratch my bed head panels…IDIOTS!!! PURE IDIOTS!!!

I could not take it staying in the house so I finally came back to my office… so frustrating… and now, we have to vacate out room and sleep in the guestroom. I guess we will be in the guestroom until end of next week…hell I am not moving back to my room if they have not finished everything… I am so sick of all these people… REALLY SICK…and no matter how much I whine and complain and curse…it will not change a thing…they will remain irresponsible pigs.

OK enough of these sickening people… I want them out of my house and my life ASAP!!! One good thing… Deb’s and Via’s hens weekend this long weekend holiday!! Yay!!...all the girls are finally coming back for a huge reunion on the island of Langkawi with lotsa booze, sun and hopefully hot Brazilian guys! Ohhh I can’t wait…its gonna be fun and I pray that the sun will shine on Langkawi for the next 3 days… Till next week… Tanned body here I come (again!)

More Ramblings

As I am all alone at home keeping an eagle eye on the tradesmen, I tried to start on my reading again…. This time around I am reading “A Cooks Tour” by one of my favourite chef Anthony Bourdain ( after Nigella Lawson and in between her and Jamie Oliver)… I know he is a chef way back in New York, but in his book and show…he is just travelling around the world eating… I mean there are plenty of chefs doing that rite?? But with Tony he is different, he puts humour and sarcasm into all his remarks…which either you LOVE him or HATE him… well I happen to love him…

So ok… page 1… *ding dong* more tradesmen walking in…aarrghh dirty socks! Continue with page 1…page 2…page 3…hhmmm interesting… *bang bang bang* aarrghhh the sound of my panels being torn apart… (sakitnya hati – heart pain) interrupted reading…. Trying to get it out of my head…. Can’t hear noises… and its get louder and louder… I am trying my very best not to go have a look at the damage… and bout does it take some determination to stay away… Damn!

Page 3…page 3….page 3…. Shit… stuck at freaking page 3…the banging is sure getting to me… should I go see… no no no…. must not!!! Page 3… ahhh fuck it…I am so not getting any reading done for the rest of the day… so blogging would be the way for now…not so much concentration needed to blog or to surf the net.

Somehow… it is still getting me to… I so ‘effing need at hot stone message in Langkawi this weekend…

Oh shit I just remembered… I still have to post up my Bali photos… * saw saw saw* * bang bang bang* aarrggghhhh I must go have a look…

BE RITE BACK FOLKS

OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! I so should not have gone in to the room to peek… its . like a blardee war zone… oohh my beautiful panels… with beautiful fabric… *pengsaning* I have yet to fully access the damage close-up…. But it’s a…a… haiiii don wan to say now… heart to painful… FUCK…

Grey Wednesday Morning

So I suppose that today would be a better day eh? Well after what happen yesterday was bad enough, I guess so far this morning… I am still sane… half sane… well… for today…my guestroom fan is not working!!! Ba da bing…I went in this morning and voila… not on…zilch… not moving! So mah call the people to fix the fan… I have no idea what time they will come… arrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… i so hate this…

So ok ok … good thing is that the tradesmen came on time today… sometimes I feel they do not know what they are doing… just trial and error… f**ck them la!!! So fucking pissed off-nya!

As for my car…well it’s in the hospital being fixing…I am so changing car dee…. This one puts my life in danger!!! It’s so out to get me!!

I am praying and hoping the rest of the day would turn out for the better… FUCKING STRESS!!!!


* I need food and coffee and ciggies and ciggies….

My Car Is Dead AGAIN!

Confirm!!! My car is officially DEAD!!! They are trying to revive it so that it can make its journey back to the hospital...if not...the ambulance will come and take him away...
He has always been a sick boy... haiii... now I need transport home... dammit

Freaking Black Tuesday

*note to readers: explicit vocabulary
Blardee horrible day… frustrating… once again the blardee wall crack ( at the same blardee place) and my sliding door is not working… what next, those dirty tradesmen stomping all over my house making a whole lot of mess bringing in dust…aarrggghhh stress-nyaaaa!! And they have the chit to tell me “eh miss ah, we coming back tomorrow can-ahh? We-ah have to tear down-ah the panel to take out your door-ah, so-ah now cannot do-ah. Tomorrow-ah we come back at 11am hor.” WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE “AHHHSSS”!!!

SO ok fine, I have to accept it right…I have to put up with their laziness and stupidity! What choice do I have? So God Bless Angie, she is helping me clean up their mess and tomorrow again. OK FINE!!

So off to my office I went… under the blardee rain… suppose to have a 2pm interview with this girl…and guess what she blardee PPK me!! How serious is this man… aargghhhh…

SO OK again…I told myself, no need to get pissed off…so I decided to drive into town to collect my framed paintings for the house…la la la la la…. Got to my car…BLARDEE HELL, my fucking stupid mini would not freaking start… it just cough and then cough again… c**t… I am so changing car! Don’t freak out I tell myself…small matter so I called the service man… apparently Auto Bavaria will send a quick help to you and sort you out… not today hosey!!!...the freaking service man’s car is block by a large trailer unloading…yes…new motherfucking BMWs!!!! And it will take fucking 2 hours… how blardee hard is it to unload cars into the showroom???!!! GENIUS!!!

So now I am back in my office, patiently waiting for the guy to turn up to fix my car. WISH ME LUCK!!!

I fucking need coffee now and a blardee cigarette maybe 10 sticks… shit head ass day! It better fucking get better from now on…

Weekend "Chin Chai" Cooking

I think I have given up on Chinese cooking… to me it is soooo hard… *sigh* but still can pass la… nothing fab like my MIL’s cooking… I think it’s in the messiness of the kitchen…

To me… I clean as I cook (plus drinking), to my MIL…cook then after all that only clean… *yucks* maybe my food doesn’t taste as good… *puzzled*

So as usual weekend is cooking for my Royal Majesty… I think I do better with “ang moh” food than Chinese. Then again I did something really simple from left over cream and penne and also veggies that were rotting away in my fridge… nothing to rave about… but the alcohol was good… *hehehe*

-prep area...see how clean and organise everything is-

-Hazard Warning:Drinking while Cooking!-

-end product: Penne with Cream Sauce and Bacon Bits-

Mom's Very Belated Birthday

I know it has been a while since Mom’s birthday…and being the greatest daughter on earth, I celebrated her birthday with hubs and other two friends at KuDeTa on Mom’s behalf *wink* *wink*

SO much for being a good daughter! Anyways…one of her friends decided to “pakat” with me to throw her a birthday lunch (one week late) and it turn out great… surprise her and my Dad!! (Think Dad was jealous…ha ha ha!!)

-mom's ultra rich cake..yummers-

-the small party-


*note to self: must remember to celebrate Mom’s Birthday with HER not on her behalf next year!!

*note to Mom: sorry!!! muaks!!!

QE II

Why is it every time a new place opens up in Penang, people will start flocking there...when they had their soft opening, all the more "well dressed" people were seen there...now after a while... the "ah bengs and ah lians" are starting "party" there. I guess its a normal Penang party scene... such a nice place but no beautiful people... *sad* how I missed KuDeTa!!

But but, we still went and party on till they closed and still wanted to drink some more... the guys were totally pissed drunk... a bunch of late twenties to thirties guys with big bellies acting like they just got release from school... so much FUN FUN...

Some crazy shots to share... this kinda night have to be cherish... ha ha ha...
*burp*

Wet Char Koay Teow

Sometimes when you just sit back and take a look at your past…you will remember things that you would never think about.

Oh how I live eating it… and oh how I missed it now… It may look yuckie disgusting…but I tell you it is damn gooooodddd…..

Bali 2007

And YES I am back from Bali and once again suffering from PHD (Post Holiday Disorder/ Depression)!

- our sad faces at the airport...bye bye Bali Babi Guling-

It was a good 4 days holiday that was way way overdue… even at the current moment my tummy is still funny…(suspect of mild food poisoning) but the memories was ahhhh I shall share…

Arriving at Bali with the sun shinning…heaven…arriving at our villa with the sun shinning… OH MY GOD…HEAVEN ON EARTH!!! Ha ha ha… our villa was gorgeous… two small private villa separated by our own private pool and living/kitchen in one huge villa! What more can I ask for… (maybe staying there for like a month!!!)

We did the usual touristy stuff ( you know kana slice left and right)…but there were fantastic times. The highlight of the whole trip was Ku De Ta…the people there oh my god…sooooo beautiful… like they just walk out from the glossy fashion magazine…must admit I look like sooo pale amongst all of them… but but…the food and the drink was damn ex…tried to console ourselves that in order to see beautiful people we would have to sacrifice our $$$.

- pink mojito yummer deliciousmers-




-dinner at the famous Ku De Ta, damn i forgot to buy their CD!-



Next highlight: clubbing at Double Six (66), once again full of beautiful tanned people… by now our tanned seem ok dee…but need plentiful of work. Debs and Kaw had their pre-wedding photo shoot which we did not get to tag along… I am 100% sure that their pictures will turn out fantastic!!!

Ibu Oka’s babi guling (Bali’s version of a suckling pig) was a challenge… oh my my something I will always remember… I felt like Anthony Bourdain suddenly…eating all the spare parts… I am beginning to suspect that my mild food poisoning was from babi guling…

-my plate of unfinished Ibu Oka's Babi Guling-

We ended our trip with ultra expensive seafood at Jimbaran and lotsa shopping at Kuta and Ubud…left us well almost penniless… ha ha ha…swear to ourselves we will return to Bali… and be amongst the beautiful people once again!

Daily Whining

I am so sick and tired of tradesmen coming over to fix and repair stuff… can’t they blardee do it once and properly and get it over and done with?? I think I might have whine about this before… *sigh* Over the last two days I was at home, looking at all the tradesmen tearing a part of my room wall down and patching it up…plus installing skirting (is that what you call it?) for the entire house… you might think it’s a small job… well that is what I thought…it is la… but they made a huge mess out of everything… my whole house was so messy…covered with dust and saw dust and god knows what… so u can imagine my stress level… I think it ran out of scale!!!

Thank God it is over FOR NOW!! I think they will be back as I found a few hairline cracks on the door frame… I know I know… it’s just a blardee hairline crack…I paid for those damn doors and it better f**cking don’t have any cracks… I think I am going insane!!

And that is not it…it has been for almost a month and the blardee phone line going thru some attitude problem… one minute is ok the next minute its dead… arrggghhh TM konon-nya. STUPID…and then then…I can’t blardee install a water filter cause I have to get approval from the BLARDEE management and BLARDEE PBA (which I have submitted the letter yonks ago) Now we are carrying water from mom’s house every 3 days… aarrgghhhh so annoying…
