Still Alive

OK… I survive half the day… SUPER hungry… been drinking herbal tea and water the whole day, eating apples and grapes… I am still hungry!! I MUST persevere

Drastic Measures

Last night, hubs dated me to Waka at City Bayview Hotel for Japanese dinner. Wanted to look nice la…I BLARDEE spend 1 freaking hour looking for something to wear… looking for something that actually FITS my big B and B!!! It was so sad, depressing… 90% of my clothes I realize I could not fit into it. I was super frustrated!

I have gone to my lymphatic massage for almost 2 weeks now… no result… so I am taking the drastic action by going on a detox program. The plan is to take 2 sachet of this fiber drink 3 times a day replacing the main meals and snack on fruits and veggies in between for SEVEN days!!! This will cleanse my system of all the toxic and hopefully the lymphatic massage would aid.

My problem? Can I actually last 7 days without proper food, alcohol and ciggies? Do I have that willpower to actually complete the whole program? Does it work?

*fingers cross*

My Failed Online Shopping

Spend 2 days browsing through ASOS again thanks to Karen for her post on it (she has great taste!), had my shopping sidekick Joey all the way in Singapore, plotting and planning what should we get to share the shipping cost! We manage to pick up lotsa nice looking clothes and shoes and when we were about to make out purchases, it does not bloody deliver to Malaysia!!! WTF!!

So PANIC LA…but then ah-ha we could ship it to Joey’s house in Singapore BUT both our credit cards are from Malaysia…and the billing address must be the same as our credit card address…Once again… we were defeated dammit!!

Who FAILS is shopping?? WHO?? TELL ME WHO?? I hate it…I mean what is wrong delivering it to Malaysia… it is like next to Singapore! I suspect is our Pos Malaysia… slackers!!!

Hubs was happy that I did not manage to splurge… it would have been costly…ha ha ha…knowing me… So… I am super keduper upset… I need more online shopping sites that actually deliver to Malaysia!!

So for those who ASOS actually deliver to... please buy something... please.... if I can't get it someone have to!!!!


Never mind… I will take that $$ and go to Bali next month!!! Yay!!!

Officially Fat

I am officially FAT! HHmmmm…signs?

1. Random people coming up to me and touch my belly and ask me how far I am from giving birth!
2. I realized that I have been wearing the same “baju” that only fits me.
3. I realized all my clothes is loose fitting.
4. I look like “char koey teow” aunty.
5. Hubs had finally told me that me legs and calves looks bigger (SHOCKER!!!)
6. I cannot look myself at the mirror without feeling yuckie bout my appearance.

I think it’s a rude awakening when people think I just gave birth or I am pregnant whn in fact I AM NOT! Plus hubs saying something about my legs. Sooooo… I have decided to do something about it… diet? Nopes… can’t work…I am such a food person!! I will eat less and be pickier and I will resume my lymphatic massage (which absolutely hurts!!!!!!) It did work before my wedding which I lost 10kgs… then I gain all back plus a few more… so I think it will work again! POSITIVE THINKING…POSITIVE THINKING!! I CAN DO IT…I MUST DO IT!!!

Once Every 5 Years...


1. People vote (and I will do it!)
2. My Australian PR Visa expires
3. My Passport expires

So my passport expires and once again I have to drag my ass to the Immigration Department to get a new passport done. This time around I am doing a 64 pages passport rather then the 32 pages.

Woke up late and I thought I will do it next week (I am the GREAT procrastinator), not until my mom called me up and told me sarcastically how RESPONSIBLE I was!! OK guilt trip!!

Had a quick shower and out the door…by the time I reach the Department, it was like 10am… thanks to the many rounds I made to look for a blardee parking spot!

Got my number (thank GOD!!) and waited…and waited… 1074 was my number…got called up…and I had a very weird and frustrating conversation with the officer.

Officer: Cik, nak buat passport 64 muka surat? (Miss, you want to make a 64 page passport?)
Me: Ya (Yes)
Officer: Pasti?? ( Sure??)
Me: Ya. Mengapa? (Yes. Why?)
Officer: Mungkin passport tak boleh siap hari ini kerana itu machine susah nak laminate 64 mukasurat. (There is a possibility it cannot be done today and its difficult to laminate 64 pages)
Me: Isn’t it the same?
(yes my Malay is very bad! I can only carry basic conversation)
Officer: Ya it’s same. You cuba datang balik petang, mungkin boleh. Urgent kah passport. (You can try to come back in the afternoon and see if it is ready. Is it urgent?)
Me: YES IT’S URGENT, I NEED IT TODAY!!
Officer: Cuba la!! Mengapa tak mahy buat 32 mukasurat?
(Will try la…why don’t you make 32 pages instead?)
Me: Because I travel banyak! (Because I travel a lot!)
Officer: OK OK …I cuba (Ok Ok I will try)

WTF!!
Update:
P/S: Just went to get my passport and realised that the officer's meaning of laminate is actually binding of the passport pages...not laminate the passport pages... No wonder I was finding for laminated part of the passport! BODOH!!!

Shiok Sendiri

OK…so our wedding was like ages ago… ancient history… everyone had forgotten bout it rite… (Except my parents in law who is still talking about it until today…)

Besides being featured in a Singapore bridal magazine, we also got a 2 page feature in Bridal Guide Malaysia Vol:6, and that was last year! I got a call from my ex-wedding planners last week and now our pictures are again on weddingsmalaysia 2008 and The Hip List!

SOoooo, upon hearing this… I forced hubs to drive me to Borders to get the magazine… no luck…sold out…then I went to MPH also the same… I was so desperate to see it, I called a very very sweet friend and father to be to get me the magazines… after looking for it at a few places, he found it! Then out conversation was something like this (not accurately word by word la)

Me: So…did you get it DID YOU???
FTB (father to be): yes… I did…limpeh went to so many places for you for you ONLY!!!
Me: Thanks…so got our faces ah?
FTB: Got la… but so small only
ME: I shiok sendiri mah!
FTB: Wah very expensive loh to shiok sendiri!!!

Talk about DESPRERATION … YES I HAVE NO SHAME!!! hahahahaha

Me in America

Still feeling zombified by all the time difference, but am getting the hang of it. I don’t think I want to go through it anytime soon… it really screws up the whole system!

OK! Storytelling time and photos galore( to come when I manage to sort out the pics)!!

I will not bore you guys and my future self by going on and on about what we did from day one, I will just highlight some interesting thoughts on the trip!

Drama with the Homeland Security
When we landed in San Francisco after 12 hours of flight, I was felling super blur…did not manage to get any sleep at all!! So much for being blur I actually spend a long time at immigration not because I was a suspected terrorist but because the scanner could not read my fingerprints!!! WHY?? After many attempts, we realised my fingers were so dry that it reader would not pick up my prints… but the super sweet immigration lady offered me hand lotion ha ha ha… yups it did work after that!

Viva Las Vegas!!!
*jaws dropping* was the reaction the minute I was standing on “The Strip”! The lights… the crowd, the slot machines, the shows (Bette Midler was plying at The Mirage!!) MY GOD!!! We stayed at the Venetian and the suite was super duper ke-duper fantastic!!!! And the Grand Canyon, the stretch limousine…the helicopter…aaahhhh the life… I cannot describe it, just view my photos!!!

NEW YORK!!!! NEW YORK!!!!!!
Snowing!!! Superb!! I LOVE CENTRAL PARK!!! I was freezing my ass off…but the city was oh- so pretty (but dirty)…everything was white and I even experience flurries!!! So cute cute as a button rabbit fur white… ok just cute.

Things that I don’t get:
How do Americans drink coffee?
I realise one thing… Americans do not I repeat DO NOT know how to drink coffee for shit!!!… I am sorry if anyone disagree with me, but it is so diluted!!! Taste like longkang water (drain water). Even their Starbucks coffee is super diluted… I am saying this based on the 3 states I’ve visited and every time I order a strong coffee it comes back like 1 teaspoon of Nescafe in 1 litre of water!!! SOOOOO hubs and I started ordering Espresso and a hot cup of water to make Long Black. Seriously they do not know what is long black and their Americano is longkang water!!! How to drink LAH!!!!!! I was so disappointed… Melbourne’s coffee ROCKS!!!!


Tips for every single bloody thing!!!
Yes tipping is mandatory!! No SHIT!!! Super annoying and they put it in a nice word GRATUITY!


Jokes anyone??
They cannot take sarcastic jokes (even not directed at them)…helloooo…where is your sense of humour?? New Yorkers please take a chill pill… (and clean up your city!!!) It smells of pee, yes even on the exclusive 5th Avenue.


Funny and Scary Jet Blue Pilot and Crew
So we were taking JetBlue, the local budget airline from Las Vegas to New York, and the pilot was telling us that there is a massive snow storm in New York and that is why we were delayed and we were lucky our flight was not cancel and he told us that they had put on extra fuel in case we can’t land! All that is a chirpy voice!! Pretty amazing… I had a good laugh and was wondering how on earth we are going to land with all the snow in New York! But the pilot did well!!!


The 3-1-1
Yes the 3-1-1 security system at the airport. It just freaks me out! I went through it without any problems but I cannot help but feel like I have done something wrong! Like any minute they will pounce on me!!


Giant SUPER Premium Factory Outlets
Yes I don’t get it… because I am just amazed at the prices!! SOOOOO cheap comparing to what we get is Asia… We went to factory outlets in San Fran, Las Vegas and New York and it was like I have died and gone to heaven!!! The Coach bags were like our Bonia bags!!! Super cheap!! AND…(drum roll please!!!) I bought my Bottega Veneta bag!!!! My life is complete!!! Ok not really complete...but for that moment lah!
