Still Crazee...crazeee...crazeeeeeeeeeeeee

Last weekend was one of the best weekend I ever had in a long long LONG time!! We took over the whole bar and brought the house down, drank beer, Guinness, Kilkenny, lotsa cocktails, lethal concoction of alcohol, shots of Tequila, dance the salsa, sing to 80s and 90s music, bonded with old and new friends and GOT TOTALLY PISSED DRUNK and puked by the roadside. Sounds like a 20 year old uni student~!

I am still young at heart! *wink*

I Heart Mulberry

Mulberry Iconic Bayswater Bag

My parents have taste! SO DO I!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha... I am so spoilt!

**Update**

I finally got the bag today when my parents came home last night... and when I open the oh-so-pretty packaging...my heart went like *thump thump thump* and I got another surprise... they got me the matching purse!!!

And I tought it was an April Fool's joke! Sigh...my parents can be darlings sometimes!

Welcome Baby Bill!

We threw a baby shower for one of my best friend S yesterday. The only problem was that S did not show up, she went to the hospital instead and delivered a healthy baby boy!

Yes! We had a baby shower without the mom to be... so it was suppose to be a dry event turned into (as usual...with me around!) an alcoholic event!

The ladies were all gathered at my house as the father to be called us every hour for updates on the labour! Contractions and dilation and all!! About 8-10 hours or we all became aunties!! What JOY!!! :) Can't wait to meet baby Bill in person!

YOU SUCK C!!!

Another frustrating entry!

Everyone around me that I know and that knows someone or related to someone is heavily pregnant, just got pregnant, going to pop or recently popped!

Me?

Zilch...tummy looks inflated, not with a baby but with extra layer of fats!

SUcks!

Still not talking to C! Can't believe C can be so unreasonable, even when C does not seem to be that sort of person!

Need to sort out with C ASAP...It's bugging me like hell!!Even with my new purchases, it did not lift my spirits ( ok maybe for that one moment when I open the wrapping) I hate this kinda feeling... argh!

Still In Battle

So many of my readers were so concern over my "upset-ness" over the last few days.... many called, messaged, berried me asking what was wrong ( thank you ladies!!!!)

Till today the "cold war" is still going on... I cannot believe I can be so upset for so many days...kinda think of it I forgot what was the cause of this "war". But I guess both are not speaking cause both have huge ego! :( which is bad...

3 days and counting... BUT one thing managed to lift my spirits... I am getting my new LV Mini Lin from my friend today... such a sweetie helping me buy the bag ( knowing my hubs would go ballistic!!!) So at least some shopping helped! It's like I am getting a certain high from it and other smaller purchases!! :)

Some People Are Just So FULL of THEMSELVES!!!

I have not written anything that makes me angry for a long while. And this entry basically allows me to release a bit of steam!

I HATE, HATE absolutely HATE it when people think that they are the greatest thing ALIVE!!! I mean seriously how arrogant can one be?

This particular person happens to be the closest person to me in this entire world (lets call the person C, and lately C has been really into all about C, C is the smartest, C is the best, C is a better cook, C is a better planner, C is will C thinks that C is everything, EVERYTHING!!!!!

C insulted me and that was when I snapped... I can take criticism, but trust me it has been happening for months and I kept so quite... I am not going to let anyone bully me around!


I SNAPPED!!!

I Declare COLD WAR!!! till I get an apology!

What A SUCKING DAY!

The Blue Door

I found this little worn out blue door in the middle of the city while searching for some new furniture.

Hidden Gem

Being from the island of Penang, one would think that we would be bless with clean beaches with clear water. Well think again, over the last 20-30 years, our Penang beaches ( especially in north island) has been polluted not only by irresponsible beach goers, but also pollution from dumping and ships. Well, it is still bearable as long as we do not go into the water! I still love it!

Surprisingly, over the weekend, we found another beach located south of the island! To my surprise, not many people go there ( only locals among the area) and the beach was extremely clean, the water quality not that fantastic but better than the north side on the island. I instantly fell in love with it and vowed to go back there whenever I can!

I had such a great time playing games with the kids (not mine!!) and chilling out with my I-Pod with the Casuarina trees shading me from the scorching afternoon sun; eating "nasi lemak", curry chicken, nyonya kuih and gluping down beer! Hubs was busy snapping shots and chilling in his hammock.

I love my island!!

*BLISS*

The Number 3 and 0 Together Scares ME

About a month ago I freaked out about turning 30! A month later, I am still freaking out! Technically I am only 29 years old... still in my twenties! So I would have to calm down and look at it in a positive way.

OK...

*deep breath*

*more deep breath*

*still hyperventilating!*

Common my birthday is in October and its only March...

It is inevitable!

I wanna be young again!! I wanna be 22 again...OK I will settle for 25...anything... I am beginning to see tiny little laugh lines, and I found lines forming at the corner of my eyes and forehead.

**note to self : stop frowning!**

Nothing positive about going to turn 30 today... maybe I will revisit this topic a month from now ( that's if I remember!! bad memory comes with aging! aarrhhhhhhggggg!!)

Worst...still childless!

DAMN!

Breaking Dawn - Checked!

I am lost for now! Or more like daydreaming, smiling at myself looking out from my office window, thinking about what the future holds for Bella and Edward and their new family; wondering how would Jacob fit into the family; wondering about Nessie's imprint on Jacob... sigh..wondering if S. Meyer would write the another book after she is done with Midnight Sun.

I am lost for now! I have no mood at all to continue with the reality around me!

I was reading ever so slowly with the last few pages of Breaking Dawn, knowing very well that nothing awaits me after the final page except for the word "The End". The last chapter of the book did bring tears to my eyes. Tears mixed with joy and sadness.

*Sigh* It was a very very good book, the best out of the four! I really did enjoy my journey on the Twilight Saga, and I think I will revisit the books again when the next movie from the saga come out end of this year.

I have to admit, in my previous entry, I did say I did not want to be Bella Swan or to date a guy like Edward Cullen. I take it all back... I want "that"!

For those who have not read or even heard of Twilight, I highly recommend it IF you are a romantic or a daydreamer! (not recommended for people who are "practical")

I will leave you hear while I continue daydreaming of either Edward or Jacob today! I think today I will daydream about Edward!

The Land Beneath The Wind

What a wonderful long weekend I had!

Yes... I am slightly (only very slightly) tanned and very relaxed. Thanks to our trip to Kota Kinabalu(KK) in Sabah.

We were there for 4 days and most of the time was spend sitting, drinking myself silly and soaking in the sun by the harbour; off snorkeling in the waters around the islands of KK; chilling with my I-Pod on the warm sandy beaches; cruising down the river spotting Proboscis monkeys and fireflies; watching sunsets and ending our nights with a few glasses of whisky and wine while listening to live band. *sigh* BLISS

Eclipse - Checked!

Yes another one bites the dust! I finished Eclipse last night. Took me longer than New Moon but I have a good reason for that! I was chasing Gossip Girl!! ha ha ha ha ha!!

I seriously think I have a problem... I am reliving my younger days!

I found Eclipse a wee bit draggy, the writing was not as good as New Moon nor nearly as exciting as well. There were a lot of event reference to the last two books, so it got kinda boring...

Anyways, still good... am now looking forward to reading the next book! When I am done... I think I better pick up something more suitable for my age!

Have a good long weekend... I know I will....

Till next week...
Adios!

Its March Already??!!!

Damn!! Where did the time go??

New Moon - Checked!

Yes! I finished New Moon in a day. Started on Wednesday night and finished it last night. Actually if I were to read it non-stop, it would probable take me 8 hours to finish the book.

Damn!! It was good, kept my heart pumping as I turn each page... It was better than Twilight. Now I am looking forward to Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

I need to get to Borders quick!!!


*Update*

So during lunch time, I went to Borders and guess what??!! The sold out on Eclipse and Breaking Dawn!!! FRAS!!!

Never mind, I still can go to Popular... AND. when I got there.. THEY WERE SOLD OUT AS WELL!!! WTF*&%$&*^!!!!

Now I am going to suffer from Twilight saga withdrawal !! Worst of all, I can't get into another book store till tomorrow after lunch... AArrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... stress stress stress... I need to know what happened next!!!!

Talk about obsession!

Care To Join Me On The Twilight Bandwagon?

So sue me!

Yes I am guilty of jumping onto the Twilight craze. I know it is suppose to be for teenagers and very young adults not that suitable for a married woman of nearly 30!

But HELL who cares! I LOVE romantic novels, movies anything that warms my heart and make me cry at the same time.

I wan introduced to this book when I was back in Melbourne a couple of years back when Borders was promoting it and I was re-introduced again to the whole saga beginning of last year. I was so tempted to buy it but something was holding me back. Oh yes the fact that I hate horror stories and I hate vampires, so I did not bother with it until the movie came out.

I was asked by my girlfriends to watch Twilight when it came out... I said NO flat out... ignorant as I am always, I kept insisting it was a dark dark movie. After they watched it, the girls were all gushing at how nice and romantic it was... for many months I would hear about Twilight and how incredibly romantic and sweet Edward Cullen was.

So in the end I gave in, I bought the DVD and sat down and watch the whole movie. I thought the movie was kinda draggy and depressing. Edward Cullen was not cute nor handsome neither was Bella Swan. So it was a let down.

Then again, they made a movie out from a novel, it must be good right?? Went straight into Borders and pick one up. Well let me just say, the book is way way way much better than the movie - full stop!

I love how Stephenie Meyer describe every single feeling of both the character especially Bella's infatuation with Edward in the beginning. It was well written and very romantic, unlike the movie. The book actually brought me to a different place, not back in time, not to the future but present time in a world just with different people. In the book I felt like I was watching them from above, every single word, every single movement, every touch, every breath...ahhhh... Well, I do not want to be Bella Swan and I do not wanna date an Edward Cullen. I just like reading about their journey, about what is going to happen to both of them in a relatioship that needs a lot a sacrifices.

So Yes! I admit, I am chasing this saga...next on my list New Moon!

Happy reading!

Am I Going Blind?

There is one thing most people do not know about me. And that one thing is that I wear glasses.

Many think that I am very rude when they wave at me from a distance and I don't wave back...well that is because all I see is a very blur moving object. I have tried to explain to people about my condition and of cause being a vain pot I hate wearing glasses. Many have also suggested to me to wear correction lens but well that did not end up how I want it to be.

You see many years ago when I started to wear glasses in school, I look like the ultra nerd/geek! So I never put them on ever except behind close doors in my room at home. As years passed, I sort of thought that hey if I can go out without glasses maybe I don't need it. Boy was I wrong, so I ended up trying to wear correction lens but I could not fit into any. My eyes were way too sensitive and my eyeballs are made in a very funny shape. So every time I tried wearing them it feels like the edge of the contact lens was cutting into my eyeballs. So that was the end of my relationship with correction lens.

Fast forward to yesterday, I had the most horrible migraine and I suspect it has something to do with my eyesight. It was so unbearable that I could not even open my eyes. So I ransacked all my drawers and found my super duper old glasses... man it was soooo fugly! I put it on and felt so much better... I COULD SEE!!!!!

Today, am sitting here typing this entry wearing my old glasses and I can SEE properly!!! I promised myself with the technology today I am sure I can find my love with corrective lens again.

So:
I am sorry to all the people I ignore due to my "blindness".
I am sorry I always snap at you when I can see.
I am sorry I put you in danger while I was driving and could not shit in front of me.
I am sorry I always misread everything.

So wish me luck on finding correction lens that does not cut into or dry up my eyeballs!

How Many Men Does It Take To Wash My Car?

12 Bangla( Bangladeshi) men and an automated tunnel with giant size brushes and water jets!

Yes all 12 of them. How did all started?

I have not washed my car in weeks and it is stained with lots bird poo and dust and god knows what else. So, on my way back from the bank I decided to take it for a car wash. Usually my car wash is done properly either by a proper car wash or by courtesy of my parent's maid.

This time around, being lazy I decided to stop by a petrol station car wash with the automation tunnel thingy. I have been to a lot of automated car wash back in Melbourne, and this would be my 1st in Penang. So we drove in as we approached the entrance we were stopped by 5 Bangla men armed with high pressured water hose thingy with soap, then they come with soapy sponge and started sponging the body of my car. After that was done one man signal us to drive down to the actualy automated tunnel where a wave of water and the swishing of the gigantic brush started brushing my car... towards the end of the tunnel, I could see 1 Bangla man with a large towel, getting ready to wipe my car down as the blow dryer started to dry my car. After than was done he told us to drive on down...so at first I saw like 6 other men sitting there assuming I would drive there and pay for my car wash. I was partially right. The minute they saw us, 6 of them started coming towards us with more towels ( this point, I was freaked out!!) They came towards my car and started drying them some more. By the end of it they took 3 Ringgit from me... the whole experience cost me only RM3!!! But not only that, my car was actually clean!!

I will definately back from my 12 Bangla men and 1 automated tunnel car wash !

Sinful Meal

I had a sinful dinner last night with my staff. And when I say sinful I meant in in every way! There was sharks fin involved and a certain baby pig.

It started with a prawn dish done in two ways, one was to oven baked it with mozzarella and top it with Tabasco sauce ( very western) the other was a deep friend prawn paste wrapped in bean curd sheet ( very Chinese).

Hubs was very much into the cheese not so much on the deep fried prawn wrap.

Next on the menu was what we all have been waiting for - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup. This soup is very complicate and we had to eat in 4 servings (layers), and it took the chef 2 days to make it ( don't ask me how, have no clue whatsoever but hell it taste heaven!!- No wonder the Buddha jumped over the wall, either to get some soup or just to escape the aromatic smell of the soup!)

The 1st layer of the soup is sharks fin and scallops. I know its bad to eat sharks fin, seeing how the fisherman mistreats the sharks for their fins. But I am a Chinese! We eat everything.. So I am guilty of it!

The 2nd layer consists of abalone and fish tongue. I love abalone and it was very well done.... melt in my mouth and not chewy. The fish tongue however, well... lets just say its fishy but yet the texture is smooth and soft.

The 3rd layer of the soup was big ass Chinese mushroom and sea cucumber. I heart sea cucumber and mushroom, so need not explain!

The 4th and final layer which I did not take a picture of, was a black chicken and Chinese bacon or ham thing and suppose to have a terrapin but I told the chef in advance that we don't eat terrapins so he did not put it in.


After stuffing 4 rounds of soup, most of us were pretty filled up, until the waitress brought in the Roasted Suckling Pig! Oh Man!! Once again its cruel to eat a baby pig which is still suckling on its mother, but please forgive me!

The skin was so crispy and I love to dip it in sweet black sauce and eating it with the steam dumpling (mantau). Hubs on the other hand was enjoying the pigs leg which he devoured like there is no
tomorrow.














The following dishes was broccoli with abalone and home made bean curd and sizziling seafood noodles. Both dishes were a bit hard to go in as most of us were super stuffed! But somehow we manage it very well!







After such a hearty and sinful meal, we were treated to a yummylicious dessert. Snow frog desert double boil in coconut. Snow Frog??!! It's what we Chinese call "shiut kap", actually its kinda disgusting, it is actually dried fallopian tubes of some asiatic green frog or knows as hasma.
Yes is sounds horrible, but its actually good for you and yummy!
I must admit it was a fantastic dinner, and everyone was happy and contented with the meal. It's not like everyday we get to eat like an emperor or empress for that matter, seeing that the bill could feed more that 7 of us for many months! And for once I am glad to be a Chinese that enjoyed "Chinese" food!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Friends...

How does one be a good and true friend?

Am I a good friend to my friends?

Sometimes I feel that I am but sometimes I don't.

Does that make me a bad friend?

Well, to me..
A good friend is always there to share your happiness.

A good friend will be there to help and support you when you fall.

A good friend will always tell you off when you are wrong.

A good friend will wake up in the middle of night to listen to your troubles.

A good friend will love and cherish you.

A good friend will never betray you in any was possible.

A good friend will not be jealous of you ( and even if so, they will admit!).

A good friend will take care of you when you are sick and alone.

A good friend will drive you home when you are drunk.

A good friend will tell you that the dress looks hideous on you.

A good friend will laugh and cry with you.

Bottom line is a good friend is hard to find and when you find it, cherish it!

Happy V- whatda Day??

February 14 came and went in a blink... seriously...what was the big deal about it?? Never understand...maybe I am bitter bout it but seriously...

So to blend in with to hoo-haa of Valentines Day, I decided to cook mash and steak for hubby...turned out ok only nothing fantastic and hubs decided to give me Cornetto ice cream cone as my pressie!

The night ended with some friends coming over for cheesecake shooters and few bottles of champagne.

DRUNK!

Happy Valentines Day!

My BIG 30 and A Baby

Shit! I will be turning 30 this year ( this October) ! The BIG 3.0.!! Where did the years go? Everything is happening so fast! I don't even have the time to pause and reflect on what I have done or what I have not done!

This year, I think I will celebrate my 30th by having a baby (or two)! Yes! I think its about time I seriously think about producing little ones! My best friend is already almost 6 months pregnant ( and lovin it!), and two of hubs' buddies are fathers. Sometimes when I look at babies coo-ing and all I get all warm and mushy inside. And when I see the child bonding with the parents, sigh it's absolutely to die for! I also understand under all the cuteness and warmness, it is not easy to take car of a child! Financially and mentally we have to be ready! Well...financially we are sooo ready but mentally, hubs is but I sometimes want it but then sometimes I am afraid by it. Does it mean I am not ready? Not ready to give up my carefree life? Not ready to hold on to more resposibilities? Not ready for the PAIN?? ( my pain level is VERY low!) Many friends and mothers and mothers -to -be that I have spoken to have told me that all my questions and doubts will no longer exist when I have a bun in the oven and even more so when I have the cooked bun on my arms! I suppose there has to be some truth in that!

So the plan is:
1. To hump like bunnies everyday!
2. To hump like bunnies everyday in different sexual positions!
3. To monitor my ovulation.
4. Go for medicals ( to make sure our reproduction "tools" are functioning and compatible)
5. Don't stress!

If all fails by the end of this year...then we will think of something else... in the mean time, I will enjoy my hubby...hehehehehe

Wish us luck!

Ma and Her Explosion!

Just sitting and reminiscing my old Melbourne days, I could not help but to remember what my good friend Ma did with the microwave and a boiled egg with shell intact ( for those who knows about microwave will know what is coming next).

And the story goes something like this....

One fine day, while the rest of us was out, Ma decided to watch our favorite re-runs of FRIENDS on the computer and she decided that she will finally eat the egg she boiled the night before. So she took it out and stuffed it in the microwave. When it was done she happily sat down in front of the computer and resume watching the show. The minute her fork hit the egg *KABOOMMMMM*!!! Ma thought that the monitor screen exploded and when she finally open her eyes she was like "eh the monitor is still there, but when is my egg???" She looked around and found the the whole egg has exploded and was on the windows, ceiling and everywhere but in her bowl!

When we came back and when she told us the story we all cracked up laughing and her only logical defense was that she did not know the dangers of a microwave.

Till today we still remind her of the explosion incident and I think until today she has a court order to stay 10 ft away from any microwave!

Hell On Earth

The world is changing and it is for the worse ( Could be a way mother nature is "resetting" the world). Recession is on everyone's mind these days and the weather is just a filler in a conversation. Many jobs are lost, but for those who lost their jobs they still have a roof under them. That cannot be said for the Australians who have lost not only loved ones but also their homes and livelihood to the recent bushfires. The worst is the history of Australia where the state of Victoria suffered the most!

I lived in Victoria and still live there on and off, and summer in Melbourne can be a bitch hitting up to 40 odd degrees. But this time around it went up to 47 degrees almost 50! That is crazy!! I am glad that my area is not hit by the bushfire as most of them are inland and at the national parks where mostly small towns are hit! I cannot imagine what it is like to be caught in a disaster like this where one is literally watching their home burn down to nothing, where the fires are chasing them and destroying everything in sight!

I am just saddened by the disaster and wish that I can do something to help my adopted state.

For those who are in Australia , you can help by donating to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009.

Let us pray that this Hell On Earth will end soon.

Oh The Condition of My Face!!! Gasp!!!

Today I will be leaving early from work... "curi tulang"( since my big Boss is not in the country), and will be heading to visit "the lady with miracle hands". Yes I am in desperate need of a facial! It has been 3 weeks since my last treatment and I can see that my skin is not looking so good from all the drinking, bad food, late nights and heat!

I will be pampered for 3-4 hours of pure indulgence of face and back massages and having all the luxurious cream slathered on my face! OOHHH thinking of it makes me feel all cosy and sleepy....

Ok times up...

Connecting From One Brick to Another

I have finally took over my dad's Black Berry ( cold storaged my super heavy and old Dopod) and got connected to the world of wireless hand held gadgets! One Word : LOVE IT! ( ok 2 words) LOVE IT!! Could not stop putting it down... I check it every 5 minutes. It is soooo user friendly and I just can't get enough of it... it made me feel so corporate!! (such a sucker!)

Unveiling The Domestic Goddess In Me

K-lin ask me if I wanted to write a topic together...of coz I sed YES, anything to procrastinate the pile of work on my desk! ( which was due like last year!!) So here goes....

I have always wanted to be a Goddess! Yes I am just a mere mortal, but... I have unashamedly declared myself as a Beach Goddess, not yet a Fashion Goddess, nor a Sex Goddess. However, there is another "goddess" in me that many do not know, unless they are very very VERY close to me! Believe it or not, I am a Domestic Goddess in training!!!

I love cleaning! Tell me what cleaning or household problems or catastrophe you have, and I will provide solutions ( most of the time except for getting rid of lizards - still working on that) I want my space to be clean and tidy and livable. I love the smell of fresh linens, clean white towels and dust and sticky free floors. I love clean white unstained walls. I love finger-thumbless print glass and mirrors. I love gleaming toilets and baths. I love ironingI love to see everything nice, pretty and in order (most people would think I have a disorder, but I see it as a positive character!) I LOVE decorating and I am still decorating until today. I love scented candles burning with sweet cranberry scent. I love art.

Being "anal" like me, cleaning and cleaning non-stop, one would think that I am totally nuts! BUT I not only clean I LOVE to cook and entertain. Yes I CAN COOK and it is all edible, I can cook Chinese, Italian, Thai, Indian, Japanese, make Greek salads, soups, grill meats, marinades, you name it... thanks to the 5 recipe books I owned and the world of Google! I did say edible rite... I did not say my cooking was superb Jamie Oliver or Gordan Ramsey quality yummy...

Even I have not reach Grade 1 status in Domestic Goddesses level, I aspire to be one someday...maybe after I pop a couple of kids? Get a bigger house with a bigger kitchen?? who knows, but my love for cooking, cleaning and decorating gives me orgasms! (just like my 2.55)

Selamat Tahun Baru "Moo Moo' Cina

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone I know and to strangers who reads about my self-absorb life! Ha ha ha!!!

So this CNY has gone by so fast... most of the time ( from what I can remember) is stuffing myself sick with food (i.e. love letters, peanut biscuits, all sort of biscuits, mandarin oranges - a killer, grilled meat also known as "bak kua", numerous yee sangs, steamboat, ee ma's rendang, my grandma's loh bak, my mom's chai boi soup), drowning myself with crazy amounts alcohol and sweet drinks ( hence the rapid weight gain of "x" kilos) and staying up really late/ early in the mornings doing what Chinese does best "GAMBLING".

And at the end of it... well technically CNY has not ended...I am suffering the consequences of it. I am suffering from sore throat, cough, runny nose, very very bad under eye bags, stressed out skin, WEIGHT GAIN!!!!!!

BUT my friends... it is all worth it and I still have about 4 more days to enjoy my CNY and it will be seriously back to work!!

So let me enjoy myself 1st and I will detox again after the festivities of makan, minum dan judi!!!

The Charming President

In my records, President Obama is "the" hottest President EVER. Looking back at all the Presidents of the United States or for any country that matter, he is one goodlookin man and such a charmer! Lets hope he will change America and pick up the mess Bush left behind... he has such a hard job to do in front of him, then again, with his charm I think he will do well!

HOTNESS!!!!

2.55 : A Fashion Icon

I have "partially" arrived at the high fashion status!( Will be full fledged when I own a Birkin and a Kelly) I finally owned a classic black Chanel 2.55!!! How in the world did this happen!! Simple... Hubby! My treat for 2009!

When he saw it at the window display I asked him if it was nice, and knowing him, he hates me buying bags he said it was very nice indeed and asked if I wanted to go in and have a look! HELL YA!!!In we go and when he nodded "yes" to get the bag I was in bag heaven floating and trust me until now I still have not touch the ground...pinching myself every second!I am still all tingling from the touch and the smell of the fine calf leather and the exquisite stitching.

There are people out there who would not agree with the purchase and would think that with the amount of $$ spend on the bag it can be put to a better use. I AGREE but in my (weak) defense its a BLOODY 2.55!!! A True Fashion Icon.

A New Journal For A New Year

I bought a new journal for next year (like I always do), I promised myself I would use it (like I always do), and I have a feeling that I will not and it will sit on my desk untouched and later on will be in my drawer and by the end of the year it will be DEEP in my drawer with stuff on top. (That is how I found my 2008 journal).

So I opened my new journal and ohhh so beautiful… fresh clean pages with lines and endless lines for me to jot down anything at all...

I sat down with my open journal and a pen and decided to write down my New Year resolutions… and then BLANK!

I will see the journal next year under piles of nonsense.

The One With The Cicaks

I was reading K-Lin’s blog entries on her fear for lizards and it “inspired” this entry. After reading her entries, I realized I AM NOT ALONE!! There are actually real people out there like me…totally freak out at the sound and sight of a lizard! Yes I know…it’s so small… and we are so big… but you don’t understand!!

I do not know how K-Lin’s fear of lizards came about, but hell I sure do remember how mine came about… actually more like a string of unfortunate events.

It all started out many moons ago with Milo…yes my morning cup of hot comforting Milo which the stupid cicak (lizard) decided that I would be ok to share my Milo with it since I was already sharing my room with its cousins!!! So can you imagine the blisters I got from it! Never mind that…fast forward couple of years, when I hit puberty, the cicak decided to base jump from the air-con to the valley of my boobies!! YES!! It landed rite in between my boobs! I will leave the rest to your imagination… The worst was during the late 90s my mom was spotting the latest curls in town and YES the cicak once again thought that mom’s hair looked like a comforting bed of god knows what and landed on her curls and got trapped!! Guess who had to remove it? ME!!! I remember well…I did not remove anything… I was too “eewwwww” and I ran and ran and ran… until today I am still running away from “it”. So yes… my fear of lizards started out when I was young.

Today, when I see or hear any lizards, I will run and scream for my life. At home I keep my windows and doors shut to make sure no lizards can come in. I check public toilets for signs of any lizards and I would rather get UTI than to share a toilet with it! I would make “shooshhhh” sound at it, bang the door, bang the wall, and scare it with a broom/mop when I see one on our balcony. If all else fail, I have my official cicak disposal man. My Hubby. Yes he will do it for a fee. He will only dispose off the lizard after witnessing my “tribal dance” complete with cold sweat and tears around the house.

So K-Lin, I am so glad we share the same fear and one day… we will conquer our fear…but for now I think I will just live with it.

Cameron Highland My Arse!

With the economic meltdown, I was advise to travel locally..."Cuti- cuti Malaysia" ! So I decided to give it a chance. To Cameron Highlands we went over the long weekend and........Cameron sucks! BIG TIME! NEVER EVER GO BACK AGAIN!!! EVER!!


Things are overpriced, rain the whole time, super run down, super traffic jam, super SUCKS!


The place we stayed in "The Lakehouse" suppose to be one of the more better place was not worth it for the price we paid. The room stinks and water pressure was low and the carpet was with stains and all. I cringe thinking about it!
Wasted my whole weekend...
