I Am A Boring Person Today

It’s Thursday and I all I have been doing is cook, eat, sleep, read my novels, watch tv, blog, check my mails and housekeeping. Is this what I have resort to?

It has been cold and still cold…it’s supposed to be spring godammit… and today it is raining… gloomy actually… I wish I can go back to sleep…but I think I slept enough. Hubs being the pig he is, is still in Zzzz-land… he does not start work until 1pm AEST. As for me… well I am taking a 1 month holiday to get a bit of R & R to get my ovaries sorted out…ha ha ha…

Good thing is I have not lit a ciggie since Sunday…so it has been almost four days since I smoke… great! It is so weird, I just don’t have the urge to smoke and dammit I bought 2 cartons at the Duty Free…

I have not been out except to COLES…sad…just feel like lying around the house…but I need to go to the Vietnamese village later to stock up on some Asian cooking ingredients…

OOHHhhh…I wanna bake something…maybe an English trifle or a Tiramisu…it is not that hard as some people think so… very easy… ha ha ha…let me get to it first then I will write about it…

OK…I should stop before I kill myself… I am so boring today… I blame it on the weather.

Back In Good 'Ol Melbourne

OK...so I told you before that I hate flying...I did not sleep on my six and half hour flight from Singapore to Melbourne...and no it’s not because I am excited, it is because I was uncomfortable! Yes sue ME!!

I spend the whole of yesterday cleaning the house and finally conked out at 9pm and slept thru for 14 hours... I was exhausted!!

Its Tuesday and afternoon and I am still in my PJs!! WOOHOO... I so love it... had my butternut pumpkin soup for brunch and a nice cup of coffee...planning to curl up in my nice nice comfy sofa and read...

BUT...that is after I force hubs to shower (he has not showered since Sunday!!) yes that stinko!! Totally gross!!!

After the stinko hubs of mine have his shower and of coz mine as well, I need to go to COLES!!! (YAY!!!) to stock up my fridge and pantry!! Then some gardening... ooohhh my garden...it’s so pretty now... oohh how I love spring...

OK peeps... later la!!

Bye Bye Malaysia, Hello Melbourne

Our flights are confirmed but our bags are not packed yet…and we are flying off on Sunday…I am so lazy… I will only pack on Sunday afternoon… ha ha ha… mom would so kill me if she heard me saying this!!!

I am so glad that we are going back to Melbourne as I have talk and whine about how much I missed Melbourne…this and that…so now we will be taking the many hours flight and it will be worth it la!

I hate flying… firstly, I hate airline food… taste like plastic to me… even if you are on Business or First Class it still taste like plastic… and I reckon all the food smell the same, taste the same… or worst off most of the time… I have never had a good meal on a flight… I only had good champagne, good wine and liquor. Apart from that zilch!

I also hate it when we go through turbulence… hubs always say the chances of us crashing and dying while flying is less compare to dying while I am on the road! I dunno if that is an insult or fact!! Somehow, I think its an insult to ME (my driving sucks big BIG time)

I can’t sleep on the plane and I am always bloated and my tummy is filled with wind… *farting in motion*

Sleeping on the plane is impossible…yes even when we travel luxuriously. I can’t sleep if there is the slightest light or noise… so u can imagine… but I would sleep better if I were to travel on the new Singapore Airline Suites on their A380.

Not being able to sleep is bad enough, but I am always bloated when I fly… I think its anxiety or just sitting too much and drinking too much and keep holding my fart…or maybe indigestion, whatever it is, I will fill like shitting all the time!

I have my other complains about flying but I will keep it for other entries.

My next post will be next week, in the comfort of our home back in Melbourne, after I clean and organize the house!!

CAN”T WAIT!!! Till then…see ya in Melbourne!

Piece Of Walking Shit Head

I can’t ‘effing believe that the man who bike hit our car is going to put in a false report to the police saying that we hit him!!! That no-use-piece-of shit…after all we should be claiming from him for damages!! How dare he put the blame on us… he should have just died! Motherf*****r!!

I am so pissed off with this ass… he will be a low life scum walking on this earth forever!!

I really hate to curse (not really), but this is wayyyy too much…such an ass…

This is one of the “sampah masyarakat” that should be shot right in the head!!!

But at the end of the day, we made our report as it is, and if that low-life piece of shit wanna make a false report just to claim our insurance just bloody hell do so…

Can’t believe he has the guts to call me up and say this and apologies for the false report that he will be making…what a jerk!! And told me I should be thankful he called me… I mean what the f**k!!

*SIGH*

The Truth Will Prevail

We Were In An Action Movie

Fuiyoh!!!

We were in a snippet of an action movie last night… so intense…so scary…so unbelievable!

By writing this post, meaning all ended good…well… it ended at the best scenario possible. Thank heavens!

We were driving along the highway back to mom’s house for dinner and hubs noticed one motorcyclist pushing another motorcyclist and pull out a sharp object, the motorcyclist that was pushed quickly avoid his attacker, and as he was avoiding, he smashed into a divided and he flew off his bike and landed on the bushes while his bike did a projectile 360 degree directly to our car… HOLY COW!! I thought then and there I was going to die, the whole motorbike will totally smashed into our windscreen.

BUT THANK GOD!!! Hubs manage to swerve the car to the right, but hubs could not swerve much as there were oncoming traffic…and then KAAAA BANG…the bike hit us like a freak accident… all that in a split second…

We manage to stop the car by the side and rush to see if the man was ok… while running towards him, I was thinking please don’t let him die…please let him be alive… Thank God (again) he was standing there, looking totally gob smacked with a bit of injury on his hand and leg…nothing broken… but unfortunately his bike was a total wrecked and our car…well, lets just say, the whole stretch of the left side of the car needs to be repaired.

The bizarre attacked by the other motorcyclist on this guy remain unknown… we assumed that it was a random attack to create accidents…but seriously it could have been worst…he could have rolled out and we would have totally roll him over… *splat* like a fly, that would have been disastrous…

Sometimes accidents look for you!

A Whole Lot Of Fluffiness

Have you ever had a conversation that leads to another topic?? OF COZ –LAH!!! Everyone has that…even talking bout nonsensical stuff will lead to more nonsensical stuff and so on…

Our current conversation of nonsensical topic of hemorrhoids turns into our latest obsession… OUR BED!!! (our Penang bed – we have four beds, one in PJ, one in my parent’s house, one in Melbourne and one in Penang…yes we are weird people)

Me: our bed…hmmmmm…so nice and fluffy…hehehehehehe. I think I am addicted to it lah

Hubs: your mad…I think ….we have to change the bed…if not sure die. DIE OF REST

Me: soooo nicceeeeee….u also cannot wake up rite?...so nice… I am going to die of fluffiness…
sooo niceeeee

Hubs: hahaha…its like clouds, the chill, the fluffiness…its like sleeping on a big big fluffy *&^**

Me: ur’re sick u know… sick… shit head

Hubs: whatever….

Try not to think too much about our conversation… after reading it back…did not make much sense to me… we are just a very weird married couple who just love our bed!

Good Night!!!

On The Way Back To KL... Photos Taken By A VERY BORED Passenger.

My Day

I have added another year to my age. But that does not make me old… just wiser… hahaha…what a joke!!

I must say, we are full of criticism when it comes to eating…macam we like food connoisseurs… maybe because we have eaten better food along our way or that hubs taste for food is extraordinary coming from a family of Chinese chefs…I think it’s a combination of that and my constant hunger for good food to make me stuffing myself silly worth it.

My parents recommended hubs to bring me to this particular restaurant which is suppose to have a good atmosphere and good food to celebrate my birthday. At first sight, it looks like any other seafood restaurant along Tanjong Bungah.

Once inside, well… the atmosphere was romantic but not intimate. The place calls for proper dressing, but there were patrons in slippers and shorts (spoiler). The staff was very friendly and polite… but of cause got double standards la… the ang mohs get more attention… ha ha ha… The restaurant played really nice French café side walk songs… very soothing… nice music for dinning…

Ok menu… mixed of western and Asian…I ordered mushroom soup and lobster with steak. Hubs had the chicken corn soup and lobster with grilled king prawns. The mushroom soup was a tad too salty and the chicken corn soup was a bit too sweet.

The lobster termidor we had, well…I felt there was too much onions which totally took the sweet taste of the lobster away, and the termidor sauce was too diluted. My steak however was done nicely… but cannot beat Squire’s Loft…*sigh*. Hubs grilled prawns were not too bad…but it tasted like regular grilled prawns.

So after dinner, with the nice music and all…suddenly… some weird music came out from the speakers… OMFG!!!! It was a birthday song in some kiddy tune blasting… I was sooooooo humiliated…totally spoilt the ambiance…malu-ation!!! Hubs was so apologetic over the whole thing… ha ha ha…

Are we going to go back there? Well… maybe not so soon… but thanks baby for treating me to a birthday dinner…poor man… he thought he totally screw it… but hey our expectations are a wee bit high when it comes to dining.

CUT MY HAIR AGAIN...CUT MY HAIR AGAIN... FREAK!!!

Drunk Again?? That is like twice this week!!!

I have been drinking a lot these days or more like these few weeks… yes I have…

It started out when a friend just called off her wedding and needed people to talk to and by that…it means drinking and get totally sloshed! The worst is, I have to sooth both parties… one day is spend drinking with her and the next day with him… so can you imagine the amount of alcohol in my already toxic liver?

Let’s see… I remember last night drinking with her until late and went home found him in my house with hubs drinking… what do I do… grab a glass, pour myself some Suntory and grab my smokes…and drink again… after 2 hours… I was drunk YET again!!! And now? I am nursing a hangover. Dammed…I am such an alcoholic…

*note to self: must not drink and get drunk on a week day!!!

Top Tier

Last Sunday we sort of celebrated an impromptu 1st wedding anniversary after our flight from Phuket.

You see, according to traditions (dunno who’s tradtion, but who cares…hehehehe), you are suppose to save the top tier of your wedding cake to be eaten on your 1st wedding anniversary and when you have your first child. Signifies long marriage… I think ??

We told Angie (mom’s maid) to take out our cake from the freezer to thaw… so when we got home, me and hubs were a bit weary about the cake…but it turn out ok… I think … ha ha ha…

We unwrap the cake from 3 layers of aluminum foil and I layer of cling wrap and we found that the royal icing on the cake is still the same colour!! SCARY!!!

We cut the cake and fed each other… I swear it tasted like rum… ha ha ha… mom was like…”hhmmm nice” and had the big piece. But seriously I think it’s a bit off dee… but still can be eaten la… we cut some for the maids and the guards… I think the guards were a bit drunk after eating the cake.


We decided to keep the rest of the portion to be eaten when we have our first child. Maybe will blend it with milk for him/her… ha ha ha…

Grilled Chicken Wings

I have perfected the art of grilled chicken wings… well… more a less…I think I have perfected it. OK according to me only lah!!! Well hubs seems to love it… he sapu clean everything… *so proud!!*

I think the trick to a good grilled chicken wings or grill/BBQ anything is 12 hours of marination and good quality honey. Less is more.

Meat Marinade ala Lynn’s Lazy Way.
To ½ a dozen of chicken wings:
3 cloves of bruised garlic with skin on
2 table spoon of good olive oil
2 table spoon of good soya sauce
1 teaspoon of sugar
Pinch of mixed herbs
Lotsa fresh grinded black pepper
1 table spoon of good honey
Mix all ingredient and leave to marinade more than 12 hours.
Oven grill or BBQ the marinated meats; basting the meat or turning the meat every 10 minutes.

-yummy yummy yummy in my tummy-

Sleeping In

I took the day off yesterday… (curi tulang) and slept in the whole day… man I was so lazy to even wake up and have a shower… I was just in my PJ the whole day… I am such a BUM!!!

This morning… I was tempted to call in sick again… it was raining… hmmm…so nice to snuggle up on my nice nice bed with my nice nice quilt and fluffy nice nice pillows….hhmmm…comfy… but nopes…had to work!!

Someone should stamp “BUMMER OF THE YEAR” on my bum bum!

WE SOLD OUR MELLOW YELLOW MINI COOPER...AND GETTING A BRITISH GREEN MINI COOPER S!!!

My Encounter With Lady-Boy/Man

So I forgot about the highlight of the trip… what is Phuket famous for?? Besides the beaches and food and massages… yes it’s the Lady-Boys or in Hokkien we call is “Ah Kua”.

One of my “things to do” is to slip money into a prostitute/ stripper/ “ah kua”s clothes… and guess what!!! DID THAT!!! Hahahaha…. I slip 20baht in bettwen her what-seems-like-real-solid boobies!! Woo-hoo!! I know 20baht is little…but that is what I have left…ha ha ha…

-night life at Patong-

-EVERYONE!!! Meet Emma!!!-

Phuket = Tropical Strom = No Sun = No Beach = No Tan = Bored To Tears

- Lions Club Of Bayan Baru Phuket Trip...-
-Me and Hubs Just Tagged Along!!!!-

OK so…Phuket was supposed to be paradise rite? Well…not to me… sad…yes… first of all… there was a tropical storm for the whole weekend… so what do I get to do?? Bored to tears… we spend most of our time eating, massages, and drinking…I was soooo super duper disappointed that I can’t work on my tan… I did not even touch the blardee sand!!! *hysterical crying*

-tropical storm...dammit!!!-

Thank God that we went there with a bunch of people… yea… me and hubs tagged along with my parents and their Lions’ Club… despite no sun, lotsa rain and lotsa OLD people… we had our share of fun… we ate, drank and gossip… seriously old ladies and old men gossip a lot… a freaking lot… I think the men does more!

As we were staying on Patong Beach… where the tsunami hit … until now, we could still see the damages... really sad actually… a lot of unrest spirits… the resort room that we were in were all new…fully renovated and really nice…but… I could not help but feel something around… I do not know if I am thinking too much but I feel something… which totally spoke me out… to make matters worst… some of the other ladies and men felt the same…SCARY!!!

In details: in our room, as I was unpacking, I found a plate with some package wrap in green cloth… freak the shit out of me… dare not touch it, so went around asking…apparently, during the tsunami…the place we were staying was totally wipe out… so basically lotsa dead people around… so the package was there to appease the dead… whoa… I got a case of extra large goose bumps!!

We were not disturbed by any spirits but I could feel their presence… sad! Hubs on the other hand was like totally fine… you see…he is a skeptic… he does not believe in spirit. Said I was nuts… and too sensitive…and tthink too much… then he tried to scare the shit out of me… by saying there are spirits talking to him!! Urg…sometimes he can be so juvenile!!!!!

-our "haunted" room...no la...just felt haunted-

With all that Hubs promise (with pinky swear) that he will bring me to Phuket again… when it is not in the middle of tropical storm season… and to some nicer resort!! *happy dee*

-fine dining @ Baan Rim Pa-

-20 people's mess... talk about fine dining...ha ha ha...the food was to die for!-

-my new best friend...thanks to dad!!-
