isn't my blog a bit dead?

is there something wrong with my Chatbox? which I've just realized...hehehe

i guess one month of hiatus is kinda long...previously i was complaining over being so free, and then facebook's ban in office was lifted...so i was back to being "busy"...and then I really had work to do...now actually lots of work to do...

just some updates: (not necessarily in order)

-went Singapore 3 weeks ago
-went kota kinabalu last weekend
-met up with li yuin, sharveena, mei nien, heng, lin
-went back penang for deepavali
-cut my hair super short
-Guztyne got married (one of my close friends/ex-colleague/we both got cheated over same thing once)
-i attended and exhibition for the Week of Italian language in the world... (i met a cute italian there!)
-i've been seriously skipping gym
-i am FAT (finally the reality so so so sank in...i tot i could get away taking pictures with "angles"...but when you are in bikini...there is nothing to hide...OMG i was hideous. haha)

yada yada yada... update soon. hehehe...

yes the blog is alive and kicking...let me...compose myself...too much alcohol abuse (by that i mean just a few shots of liquor lol)...too much work...too much food...too much everything...only too little exercise...

muax muax...

hari raya snippets

as i said the last time i went to Genting Highlands' casino, "I will never gamble here again!"...I still gambled lah two days ago...and yesterday...lost RM150. tension giler. no gambling luck lah!...but it was fun to meet up with KZ, Zhuang Ming, Sharon, Chee Wah and esp CSY whom I met "coincidentally"...but now very very sleepy coz 7 of us shared a room...(I brought Joanne with me mah)...the congestion damn bad on the way up, dera my car's tyre oni nia, 1st gear, jam break, 1st gear, jam break. or whatever u call that motion being stuck uphill with thousands of car (luckily i pandai, almost dinner time oni go up...so many cars had their bonnets up..maybe overheated adi d engines???)

ouch. as i type my arms very painful, on monday i went to gym but till now my arms hurting like crazy. biceps lo. i think i pulled a few muscles. tried a BodyPump class...owwwwwww...like that i rugi lo...one time go gym need one week's rest...like this i ma can go only once a week??? RM50 per session lo like tat...cannot cannot...i must go more, even if just to waste their shower gel and 100Plus... hehe. so die die today i also must go!

So how did my Raya go. great, i guess (other than my loss in the casino, oh yes i am an extremely sore loser when it comes to gambling)...Tuesday night i went to Pavilion for the launch of Coach's new autumn line or something...and I even saw my favourite Malaysian actor who acted in "Her Many Faces" a local drama. don't know his name ar...but in real life...quite disappointing lo...cos he isn't THAT tall one...in the drama macam very the macho wor. but got gf adi...but the gf not pretty...so i bet if i go to another 100 more BodyPump and Yoga classes can rampas him from her adi. lol. joking joking...

after that I went to Velvet (again)..yeah, what happened to my "clubbing is not for me" thing...? eiiii...depends on who you go with mar. My this clubbing kaki Joanne very the entertaining one if you go with her...see her dance whole night also enuff adi...but this time I really had fun! although I didn't really like her snobby friends (and i bet they didn't like me either). I did something scandalous also. muahahaha. the experience was good, no doubt...but don't foresee it happening again soon. =P

but now damn blerrrrr and sleepy. rupa-rupanya going clubbing when you are 21 yrs old and when you are 24 yrs old is totally different. now once club need at least 3 days to recuperate. last time can club till 3am, go supper till 5am, go home, lepak, wait till 7am to go breakfast/dimsum with my xiaoyi and grandparents then only tidur. wah, now...totally cannot. age is catching up ler...

oh..back to snobbish ppl story. Actually I cannot understand what is running through these people's minds loh. yalar they are freaking rich, money can "feng" here "feng" there...but hey you are also just a human...personally I know some rich people who are actually nice...but as Heng once told me, yeah the rich people we know (let's say the rich people in Penang), they are rich, but not THAT rich...so it makes the rich penang ppl pale in comparison. wah. i really really anti them. when i become rich, must make sure i don't fall into the "100 most hated people" category.

I was talking listening to a girl 2 weeks ago for an afterparty at friend's friend's house...I didn't know many of them lah, wah this girl...quite pretty..should be rich also...very the bimbo. Since nobody layan her and my friend was busy talking to another person, so I also go social with her a bit. WAH mentensionkan, she started talking about her choice of manicure, the pretty design she picked, the massage she just had that day, and her hair treatment yada yada yada yada. god, i listened to her for 15 minutes i really cannot layan already. luckily she's pretty so got another guy who was willing to listen to her. gosh i was wondering if all those rich ppl's girlfriends are that way. *YAWN max.

oh yes, it made me realise how much I love my real friends. other than 2 quite close KL friends, I think generally I don't even like KL people. oops (are any of my readers KLites?). so materialistic...and can be seriously boring!!! at least we have our syok sendiri jokes and it's so comfy being around my friends. you could just talk and share. Monday night I went for duck rice with Heng and Lin (my dear Pg kakis) and it was just so nice, just laughing over stupid things, and the whole dinner costed only RM30, and we pay ourselves our parts lah...Tuesday night I went to a posh Chinese restaurant, 7 dishes, costing RM300++ for 7 people and got people belanja sumore, but I didn't even enjoy it one bit. mentensionkan instead. cos i also felt awkward mar, i'm not those high-class socialite kinda person. low-class-do-siasuei-things laidback scenario socializing I can lah...

made me think RICH PEOPLE ARE NOT NECESSARILY HAPPY. so must prioritize my goals again adi..........haiyo. me and my neverending "prioritizing" that has been on top of my to-do list for some time...

happy weekend peeps. and just wanna say I love all of you loads! Abbasso i ricchi!! (Down with the rich--in italian haha)

thank god it's friday

time just flies...!!! dengan tak disangka i've worked here 1.5 months. also earned sorta gaji buta till now. well, occasionally i do have things to do as per my job description, but rarely...rarely... yesterday kena sound from the evil Team Leader also. but that's my fault lah for not doing what I was told to. blah blah. but i insaf adi, i'm the "once bitten twice shy" kinda person. so now must remember what i've been told to do...

not much progress about the part-time for the italian guy i mentioned, guess he's really tied up with his stuffs as well. but slowly lah, me also tied up doing nothing...

just wanna share this pic, taken during my bd 2-3 weeks ago...actually got a bunch of pics (with Heng, Lin and their respective abangs) but they're in my laptop...this one coz Lin's abang took one, so emailed me loh.

Thank you darlings! (oh arent those 2 big candles and 1 small one? hehehe)

now i'm going to fill up my weekend meaningfully...am going to start tutoring my cousin chiayee (who's in Form 2)...hopefully i dont embarass myself by not recalling to solve even simple math!!! (it's true, the older u get, the more you learn, the more you forget), and in between helping at my aunt's restaurant...and meeting up with friends occasionally. how i wish i had dates instead of meeting up with old friends instead. hahaha (joking k, later kena boycott from my friends here)

at the moment, am still sorting out my long term goal/short term goal (with reference to my previous "how do you measure success" post)...still have not decided which one is for me...but i really need to decide...i dont understand why i am so free but yet i procrastinate so much...oh well...we are allowed to dwell in our miseries once in a while (call it a..."down phase")

Happy weekend people...!!!

so how do you measure success?

I was talking to Charng (via email of course since she's in Sg - dengan bahagianya) and I was asking her how does a woman measure success?

1) to have a high-flying career (meeting clients, having a jet-setting friends, she knows everyone, everyone knows her) but coming home to an empty house every evening

or rather to have:

2) a normal job (maybe clerical job...or maybe my job as a quotations analyst hahaaha which keeps regular office hours) life very unhappening but going home to a loving husband and kids...

Maybe it's the monotonous lifestyle that I lead in KL...but i'm starting to think that option (2) is much more appealing. Hell, even Charng the superwoman thinks it. and us just being 24! But isn't it nice to go home, and the husband provides for you...and you finding yourself looking forward to going home everyday, to cook for your family (and them appreciating the food and its all happy and meriah)??

of course it's not so ideal as we think lah. its not like the husband is always so appreciative...and the kids will complain about the food, and you argue over financial matters...then there's the washing, ironing, helping children with homework (worse still, if still baby have to breastfeed, feed baby change diapers middle of the night) but still im sure there must be some kebahagiaan-ness in it right???? see...got some; like Ayah that speaks happily (sometimes a bit kecil hati-ly) of his kids, and Nyonya Penang who speaks of her 2 kids etc etc. Nice u know...

me...in my blog what do I talk of? lately of nothing lah. very routine. recently joined gym so can talk about how out of form i am, how the whole body hurts, how i am aging (macam all complaints ajer)...i wake up 6.40am-7am in the morning, take a bath, get stuck in the jam till Jalan Tun Razak, go work (or pretending to work), go lunch (walk out under scorching sun, sometimes meredah hujan), then continue pretending to work, then wait till 5pm...drive back sesak-sesak, then back home. lately got additional activity, so go gym awhile...then lately my HPC Monday dinner gang not free, so I don't meet them for dinner...then finally...about 8-9pm, i reach home...to an empty home (got my uncle's gf ar, but we don't talk much to each other)...I eat my dinner, take a bath, then i hid in my room, watch repeatedly my animes/italian movies (i bet a few more rounds and i can act out some scened in La Vità è Bella d) then go sleep...then next day the same...weekends lagi teruks although it's nice to see different people at my aunt's restaurant and to talk with my aunt, uncle and cousins, yet...something is missing. I don't know what. Sense of belonging, maybe? They could make do with or without me, so it doesn't matter if I appear or not...gym...I could talk to people but communication barrier I don't like to attempt to speak in my broken Cantonese.

yes lah it's the time of the month where you feel all down and depressed loh. I miss Penang. And I've just started working for 1 month + 1 week... I need some goal and motivation lei...Maybe I should re-enter the world of clubbing again...but not safe to go home after clubbing lah. sigh. what do i need what do i need...

ok i think my boss detected me blogging

to be continued... (happy weekend guys!!!!!)

p/s: I'm sure things will get better soon...

Jeng jeng jeng

This year for Chinese New Year:

1) LL Housemates gathering will kekurangan 1 person to gossip and do siasuei things together. im sure Miss Pana will miss me, cos she will be the only person eating. hahhaa. *bleks

2) HPC Gathering will kekurangan someone to be the one late to arrive (aka, me!) If mengikut tradisi, HP Pao or HP Lin were always the early ones...then the person living just a km away, HP Heng will arrive...then..me!!! then HP Jo Ooi, HP Loh, HP Chun...No one will have a go for another bowl of HP Loke's YeePhor's hokkien mee...Girls, remember to bring your 'kums' when pai nee at each other's places ok, mi raccomando!

3) Occasionally, the SRKBL Melur ppl will have a gathering also..sorry cant make it this year!!!

4) Esp my family...this year, my Xiaoyi and Mom will kekurangan another kaki to play mahjong with them...less money for them to win this year...since every year basically I am just donating my money away...from a few days b4 cNY till Chap Goh Meh... -_-"

Aihsssssss...Janice, thanks so much for the Xmas card...altho I just received it yesterday. haha yours will be arriving soon, i promise no later than Easter ok!

Part 2 of my Paris trip: Beryoga everywhere I go...hehehe


Not bad lei..can pose inside Musee du Louvre sumore...and at Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel...-_-"

and my friends say...

1) A certain Miss Lim wrote to me in email...

"Wow so you must be having fun there in Germany. How is it there?..."

2) And a certain Mr. Teoh wrote to me in Friendster...

"let me see...what can i buy at italy....actually i cant think of any...so u can speak spanish already???"

Errr...1st...I know I have been missing from the virtual world for quite some time...but I did meet up with Miss Lim before I left for italy...Girl...u tergamak tak tau that I am in italy instead of germany! boo hoo...and 2ndly...I think in italy...we speak italian, not spanish...manusia jahil...

on a more interesting note, I just learnt that italians are very..well..hypocrisy kinda people.. am now embroiled in a veryyyyy exciting housemates-bitching-backstabbing-drama, which consists of me, 2 italian chicks, 2 chinese nationals, and a moroccan. Oh..occasionally, it involves our landlord also, a couple well into their 70s, because certain issues cant be resolved by our own. "O, Draconian Devil!"
"O, the beauty of italian culture!"

Otherwise, I am having the time of my life, thank you very much =P

New year resolution 2008:
1) To shed 10kgs...Before I came to Italy, it was 6 kgs...then I put on 4 kgs in 3 months, so now I have ONLY 10kgs to lose. Easy feat. Non c'e' una problema.

2) To learn Spanish, French and Japanese. I did take 1 semester of these languages before, but forgotten everything. But what's new year resolutions if you don't write the impossible ones down? =P

3) Cari kangtao to work here. Apparently I'm now dried up financially, so I can't travel outside Italy (Austria, Spain, Germany, Switzerland) no more if I don't find a way to earn $$...

Kesusahan of kehidupan...AND THE WORST THING IS THE END OF SEASON SALES IS ON NOW...20%, 30%, 50% of everything...i can't even afford to buy..boo hoo..

Insomniac Part II

Just now I dengan semangatnya switched off the lights at 12am. Ingatkan since the day before I couldn't sleep (I ended up falling asleep at 8am and woke up at 12pm) and had a not so nice sleep of 4 hours as in between I woke up 3-4times due to the ongoing activities at the kopitiam...

Waheyyy surprise...its 3am adi...Now going thru therapy to fall asleep by watching naruto for the entah berapa kali adi--the Chuunin Exam matches--naruto vs neji--shikamaru vs temari-- gaara vs sasuke...aihs..Still awake..even cooked a packet of Cintan Mee at 2.30am...even talked on the phone more than 1 hour..calling a few close friends. pekchek. nampaknya tak jadi I want to get my breakfast of Hokkien Mee and Banzhangkuih and Taufufah later...set my alarm clock 9am d..arrgggghhhhhh kesedihan melimpah...

My mind keeps thinking of the same things (undisclosed!!!) haha. LL House peeps and Buyong would know. haha. So just now I looked like hantu yang tak tidur berapa bulan adi... And I just went for hair perm n facial ma..Met up with KZ for a drink..he damn surprised to see a obaasan with auntie curls and lots of post-facial zits that has had too much to eat lately (me!) hahah but he was courteous enough to say "You look more chan than the last week I saw you, but healthier"

Aihssssss...but KZ thanks for the lovely gift I made you give. Haha indirectly la. *hugz! I still want the Naruto collection k hahaaa dunno you read this or not la.

ok...time to post some pix again...

b) I'm going to miss all my colleagues...all very nice..except one or two meanies..but otherwise all were super nice
c) I'm going to miss my family and friends..and especially just when I was just getting to know a few people that I got reacquainted with and acquainted..so..
d) masalah ekonomi persendirian (me!)
e) masalah deprived of penang food
f) masalah what also havent prepared yet
g) masalah petronas
h) masalah cinta lima segi=
i) masalah horizontal expansion cos I worry I won't get to eat in italy

Gah..anyway conclusion is I will probably fly to Rome on 5th Oct (tentatively)..I hope can be pushed till 6th/7th Oct lo..I want to be excited over this..but I don't have the time to be..sighhh yalo next week still working...

belated birthday

I love flowers! =) I received this from CK as a belated birthday gift on 16th Sept 2007..how sweet...and of course, a birthday celebration is not complete without a meal and movie right? hehe. Poor CK treated me to Kiku Zakura's again, which was yummilicious...then we watched 881:Papaya sister or sth like that. Ermmm..the movie was not good..but the company is good la..haha.
Sweet. =)

of course..I am also a sucker for flowers without the 'enhancements'..but I think I posted this b4 awhile back..cos it was from Mr.C last year...


Anyways...just to give a special mention to CK lah for the sweet belated celebration =) *hugz

Surprised..and sweet!~ Really didn't expect it..but how also..a girl will always be a girl..somehow also will damn happy if get roses. haha although my fav flowers are orchids..but roses more romantic I guess..1 dozen is good..the more the better..the heavier the better..haha~ so D is in my good books again d..

type-type-type now I am PMS-ing also lazy type adi..better news to break

***********************************************************************************

Jeng jeng jeng...

some of you may already know it..but I just received the notification yesterday..(Thurs Sept 13th)..so I did excitedly sms, email and MSN some ..hehehe..

BUT I AM GOING ITALY!

yes yes yes! confirmed adi my scholarship...finally!

9months, Perugia. =) should be leaving in Oct..so it means less than a month away...

******************************************************************************

it means that I have to quit my current job. it was a hard decision and took a lot of consideration, but yes i am sooo quitting it. told my manager on wed, she was a bit reluctant to accept my resignation, but she gave me quite a good advice.

yep. that time wednesday the scholarship has not been confirmed yet, but that time too tension liao. kenot tahan..pekchek (due to PMS)..so i just *snapped* and told my manager that I want to quit.

risiko tinggi u know that time..could end up jobless, scholarshipless also. but that time PMS ghost possessed ma..sure won't think so much liao..

tendered my formal resignation letter yesterday. I am required to serve a month's notice, as my contract says. but aiya, now also ketensionan..cos the classes starts in beginning of October..but my letter on 12th Sept..technically gotta serve till 12th Oct..but after cajoling my manager, she says 3 weeks can lor, provided my task handover proceeds smoothly. my MD, the mat salleh is of course not happy..but he is not around now..but will have to face the music next week when he is here also. gahh~

**********************************************************************************
will definitely miss all my colleagues..a lot! maybe not the evil Dr.H..and not the MD Mr.M..

just worked 3 mths here but feel that the bond is quite strong. of course the cubicle next to me is my 5 yr coursemate super genius David, that will entertain my stupidest questions regarding to anything technical (lift, drag,point of gradient, partial differentiation, momentum loss, conservation of mass)..must thank him..he made my 3 months better..at least not so clueless..

haha don't want to describe so much abt my colleagues..rather, future ex-colleagues yet..talk abt it in other post..now must continue my kerja..

so much of work..so little time..

p/s: due to a certain misi I have been MSN-ing since Wed till today (Fri)..I think my mission failed. But still will continue pursuing it...

***********************************************************************************
I dreamt of CFD on onions this morning..freaky..define multiphase domains of an onion???? meshing??? ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

big fat convo dinner

There are many things that you can give a girl who just officially graduated. Flowers, soft toys, bracelet, more flowers, angpow, watch, necklace, keychain or any other thing that you can think of...

But one of the best things is getting a big fat convo dinner...yea..after getting the big fat convo dinner, orang also menjadi big and fat...

2 weeks ago Buyong the great treated me to a dinner at TGIF =) Thanks Buyong..I was supposed to say, "who needs flowers when you get a big fat convo dinner" but I won't! Haha oi Buyong..different meaning wan ok when getting different presents!..I wanted to go Chili's Grill & Bar but he wouldn't bring me..he said it is a sacred place for him. ishhh.. sudahlah..

But we had a great time..at least I did! I had grilled salmon but his sauteed chicken is nice..at least i think that was what he ordered..got rice baked with cheese wan..very very yummilicious.. and the appetizer and dessert is good!!!

oops the picture on top left is actually fried calamari..terhabis makan only terrememberedbuyong is too dark..kenot be seen in the bottom right picture

me and buyong, who is vying for a secretarial position in HCFC

We went there about 9pm-ish and actually stayed till almost midnight...cos Buyong had sooooooo many things to say (haha kidding la) and we managed to catch Liverpool's match and Chelsea's..we sat in front of the TV mar..but great catching up with him...

after that, we went for second round, supper pulaks..this time i treat him big fat non-convo supper...although it was just ayam goreng pandan at William's..not bad wert..he sendiri that tak larat nak makan d..=)

basically this is a thank you post. hahaha. eh buyong..the balance can be accrued right?

And dedicating this song to all...

Pupus-- Dewa

Aku tak mengerti
Apa yang ku rasa
Rindu yang tak pernah
Begitu hebatnya
Aku mencintaimu lebih dari yang kau tahu
Meski kau tak'kan pernah tahu

Aku persembahkan hidupku untukmu
Telah kurelakan hatiku padamu
Namun kau masih bisu
Diam seribu bahasa
Dan hati kecilku bicara

Baru ku sadari
Cintaku bertepuk sebelah tangan
Kau buat remuk seluruh hatiku

Semoga waktu akan mengilhami
sisi hatimu yang beku
Semoga akan datang keajaiban
Hingga akhirnya kau pun mau

Aku mencintaimu
Lebih dari yang kau tahu
Meski kau tak'kan pernah tahu

I think I posted this lyrics before in the blog...but nvm la..still my top favourite song for the moment~

P/s: This Friday (7th September) is an important day..

Fireworks...

Happy belated Merdeka Day 2 everyone...

I went to watch the fireworks display at Putrajaya with David, for the Merdeka countdown..the well prepared David advised to go early..so we bertolaked at abt 7.30pm..at 1st it was really congested at the Puchong IOI Mall area there, we went, "Phew, luckily we came out early" (the fireworks display is supposed to start at midnight)..mana tau..8.40pm lidat we have already reached Putrajaya..we stopped twice at "strategic spots" before stopping at our 3rd location in Cyberjaya where we have our scenic view, where we saw the spectrum of colours blast a.k.a the fireworks across the big lake.

The pictures are courtesy of David, I didn't take any of the fireworks pictures, I was just in charge of taking video of it..and I took pictures of humans and inanimate objects only..so the credit goes to him =) *haha. if you complain that the pictures of fireworks are no good...find him as well..*lol

you can read more from here...(basically of the same pictures) but my post has exclusive pictures of..him!..and me!!(joking la) although I have noticed that I looked like a balloon lately. (Thus declaring myself as on diet again, as of today) *lol

jeng jeng..pix..

it's good to do these kinda activities..beats being caught in the jam in KL Dataran Merdeka or getting tipsy in the club.. lately slowing down on partying d..old liao..last but not least...

The typical Malaysians with the highest order kesedaran sivik...i mean..lack of it..

HAPPY 50th birthday!!

P/s: This 50th celebration marks the 50th year of our independence..but I don't really feel the spirit. As like this fireworks display..everyone was just there for the fireworks (including us!), not to celebrate independence. And whose fault is it that we became this way?

Selamat berconvo!!!

I'm not a greedy type kinda person.. =) =)...so sempena my convocation this Sunday...this will be enough... (taken last year-- PTC and SanRong dsb convocation)..

Or this...which I received from a very sweet guy awhile back..

Chan and Loke's birthday flowers..so not mine..

But most of all...I want this:


Hehe. Kengkawan, do come for our convocation for 5SMT--Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical-Aeronautics), Class of 2002-2007 at Dewan Sultan Iskandar this Sunday, 19th August 2007, morning session at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai Johor. =)


Marilah ambil gambar beramai-ramai..and as they always say..
"Orang tak boleh sampai tak apa..janji bunga sampai"..just kidding k..


Will be on leave till next Wed..don't ask me why I took so many days off..saja wanna lepak at home after that..so toodles!~ going back Penang today..yay yay...Today it's Lin's convo..tomorrow will be attending Janice's.I will be taking Konsortium..Dad was adamant that I only take Konsortium after the tragedy involving the caplang bus..condolences to those who are bereaving..


back to work..oh this is the pic i took when I went to PERNIM last last week..he looks miserable but he smiles most of the time, just that not in this picture..Those in Pg..jom lepak! =)

pekchek

I am in a positively miserable mood at the moment. as optimistic and jovial that I try to be at times..(and I even try to encourage my friend to think positively when she is down!) but...berrrreeeehhhhh hehhhhhh heeehhhhhhhhh. very pekchek. And it's 9pm!!! and I am still in the office!!!! gah.

It all started this morning when I asked my admin asst for the 10th time that our pantry ran out of Milo since 2 weeks ago...she always told me the same thing, "Dont worry, I'll tell the manager..."
Today I harassed her again, then she told me that the manager says no Milo..due to budget control..

I went totally berserk and went "What??? The company is depriving us of human basic necessities!!! What kind of budget control is this...no Milo means I can't mix it with nescafe, no nescafe means no caffeine, no caffeine means no productivity, low productivity means...yada yada yada"

I complained to several colleagues and they asked me to bring personally lo. As in, buy my own Milo..I already provide my own tidbits, soya bean milk, milk d..takkan Milo also..??? I told them that I am an underpaid freshie..takkan Milo also kena beli sendiri?? If my salary is 4-5k like them..then no prob rite???

Then..along the day..got lah perkara-perkara yang mempekchekkan berlaku. at that time, my "vein was totally crooked". I glared and jeling till my eyeballs wanna pop out at anyone who crossed my path, and snapped at any innocent beings that tried to give me a "smart joke/reply". Somebody even said my face is like Justice Pao. gahhh..

and the most irritating part was this guy, D, who has been harassing me for the past week. He absolutely calls me few times a day, sends me texts asking me for dinner. He is those "sei chin nan ta" type..Why do I say so?? If dinner kenot, never mind..what abt supper??? if supper kenot, nvm...what abt movie??? kenot ar...what abt tmr go gym together?? cant...what???lusa u r going to play badminton with ur colleagues?? can I join??? NO!No!no! no I wont be free today, tmr or lusa or whatever during weekdays, and mostly on weekend as well. He seems nice and all, and even drives an Altezza but............arghh! I don't have any topics to talk with him. He keeps asking me the same question over and over again. I think he has asked me 4 times what I studied in Uni. Aeronautical Engineering, dammit! "ohhhhh so you doing ur internship now or sth??" Like, no...I've finished my studies and my convo is this weekend, so Im working for real d..wahlao.Everytime he asks me that on the fon, I feel like pulling out my hair. In fact I'm having headache at the moment. I think he is reali reali lonely lo. Cos he harasses Joanne as well. Arrrggggggggghhhh!

After that text just now to ask me go for movie, my killing intent was super super super high. You know those inner Sakura look that beats up Naruto all the time, or when someone says Sakura is not pretty? ahhhhh those types..

but now ok d la. I finally won my fight with my manager..she promises to buy Milo tmr..=) =)

p/s: gotta finish my work cos will be on leave Friday ma. Try to help my head of dept as much as I can..he's not those cinkak bosses that you usually see..but our big boss and deputy big boss are...

hermit

Sempena my kepokaian, I celebrated it by spending Friday night and Saturday vegetating at home =)

Friday night I did go to William's for the roti naan..then I fostered love and understanding between little notebook and I. I even managed to watch the last episode of wahlahtoi's 9.30pm cantonese drama acted by Ma Chun Wai..(which has crappy ending..there were 4 times they fast forwarded the time in 10 mins...in total 9 years later)..Then I set up at task for the weekend, which is to clear the long uneaten frozen food in the refrigerator. That night, I started with the roasted beef kebabs, and Snickers ice cream. Unfortunately, I have been possessed by a cup noodle ghost, so that night at 2am I had 1 Maggi Hot Cup, Curry Flavor. Oh, I watched The Law of Ueki, an old anime which is pretty good...which reminds me of Hunter x Hunter..I want to watch Eyeshield 21..but I do not know of a website which I can d/l the series..so I just basically vegetated with my lappie till 4am watching anime..

Saturday woke up early (like, 11am) Haha. Started my mission. I took out the Kari Kiam Hu (salted fish curry with vege) that I kept for almost 2 mths d..ate that, took 3 mini-chicken pies and chocolates again..with an apple. After guling guling on the bed with anime till 4pm, had meatball miso-soup with eggs which I created. Hoho. Kenyang giler tak boleh bergerak. Went to my aunt's restaurant to tolong..tolong tengok. Hehe. In between serving the customers and walking into the kitchen, I took pieces of fried chicken n assam prawns. Then wanted to go Kajang for satay..but after having this XXL portion of assam laksa at 10PM..too full to eat anything else..so will go for Kajang satay another time lah...that nite..for the 1st time in like, 2months++ I've been in KL, I actually kuai kuai stayed home. Even my aunt was surprised =) Spoke to Fred on the fon, and then watched the opening match for Liv-Aston Villa. I have a feeling Torres will be my favourite player in Liverpool soon..besides Gerrard (no prizes for guessing why haha). The match started very..well slowly..probably haven't gained momentum yet both of the teams, but Kuyt played very well..and we won 2-1~ (although one's an OG, but a goal nonetheless)..and the hero nv fail to deliver when needed!~ =) (Gerrard..cos a few of my friends let 1/2 ball ma..so somehow we needed an extra goal from Liv)..

Ohh I was saying abt my mission..miraculously, my elastic tummy managed to make way for some extra ice cream while watching the match. Hohoho. u noe the Mini Cornetto thing? yeaaahhh..anyway the maggi cup ghost attacked again,also at 2am sharp. This time I had Maggi Hot Cup, Tomyam flavored. But it was a Saturday well spent..I can see it on my tummy..

Sunday I woke up and went lunch with Yong, a nice guy I met few mths ago since he just lives nearby...He said that the pork noodles in OUG is sooooo good and that the teh see is smooth as silk. Aiya. so-so only lar =) I had pan noodles and also some fried cempedak. Then we went Jalan Pudu to have egg pudding which is supposedly so popular..also to me..so so only..too sweet..but the black soup+egg tongshui is not bad..I get to bask in the glory of being stuck in the ever-present KL traffic jam. Then I went to 1-Utama with Lin to do some shopping (no I tarak $$$, i swear!! but I watched accompanied her shop..Then we ate the Sausage Cheese Dip thingy at Pizza Hut. never have Pizza Hut at 1U~ service, no good..nobody follow up our orders/clear the dishes..soup is even more diluted than the air longkang..-_-" but damn kenyang la. Went back home..also miraculously (again!) I had chocs and rootbeer float..watched the MU match..aiyaya..MU 0-0 Reading??? with Reading having only 10 men? wat a good start..keep it up yea MU (Joe and Miss Pang..don't be sad..better luck next time aite?? oh and also zewt haha.)..ahhhh..then last nite I couldn't sleep due to the incense burning from downstairs I think..last nite is the night the gates of hell open for the 7th lunar month..kept sneezing. and...at 2am again, I had cup noodles..this time is Super brand..also tomyum flavor.

and today I kandas terhadap the temptations of nasi lemak 4 breakfast. ughhhh! Hungry Ghost festival jek..takkan me also turned into a hungry ghost?? I absolutely made up for my past week's contraint on carbs, fats, santan during the weekend..sigh. overdosed.

Paging for Miss Pang: sui eh, coming down to watch World Championships o not?? let's go stalk Bao Chun Lai this time..haha I go for Caiyun-Fu Haifeng

Keletihan

Feeling so burned out...don't even have time to memupuk kasih sayang with my notebook. I've just opened it like, 3 times for 20minutes out of my 6days' ownership. -_-"

Wed nite I had to fill in my convocation forms after watching Transformers, so slept abt 2am..Then ytd whole day working my ass off...Left office at 6.30pm like that to go to gym..Currently I have 2 davoted yoga students a.k.a my colleagues so since I promised them to practice it together ytd, so I stayed till abt 9pm at the gym. Rush to dinner, reached home, bathed then belah off to find Joanne d. Last night I went Zouk for Ghetto Heaven with Joanne and some others. Blerggghhhh.. tried this Bacardi Apple Rum, then had some Tequila shots, and some Black Label. Had to call in for half day leave today...

Haihs now I know I can't club from Sunday-Thursday. So tired when I got home abt 4am..and last night I was a party pooper anyway...I only danced less than an hour, then terus cut d. Sat the whole nite after that. hahaz

Tonight party lagi??..don't think so..letih giler..maybe tomorrow night instead. Today I have cravings for roti naan mozzarella cheese ham at William's..

Happy weekend guys~ =)

p/s: Keninaz, u get a special mention, wishing u a very happy birthday!~(courtesy of zewt) =) =) Have fun celebrating at Poppy's this weekend

*addendum..fine..KENNINAZ (spelt with double 'n' thim =))

Epiphany

Hey I'm back to write abt my newly acquired notebook. Hehez...

Yes..today still feeling very cold, jalan also terumbang-ambing, no $$$ marr.

I have watched Simpsons The Movie which I thought was very kelakar siot..I enjoyed it a lot..and also finally, last nite I watched Transformers =) =)...On Friday, I went to Poppy's again. *heeheee my new 2nd home, kinda getting sick of Velvet.. It's a smaller group la this week, just me, DK, DK's friend visiting from Indonesia (Sarah), Joanne, Kei and Kei's friends..but it's still fun lar..the best thing is, the bartender gave us a glass of Russian Turkey, on the house when one of the girls wanted to get a drink from the bar =) (erm..I think it's vodka+cranberry juice, if my barmaiding knowledge does not fail me)...and we had another complimentary drink..it's definitely Screwdriver (vodka+orange juice)..but I guess this time it's from one of the guys sitting by the bar. *woo hoo guess it's really nice to go clubbing with hot chicks, I get to tumpang bahagia when someone buys my frenz drinks..

Oh Friday nite was also my company's 1st anniversary dinner, so we had a cocktail party kinda thingy at our building =) the food was ok..it's Eden catering..but we had champagne, Moet & Chandon and wine, some Merlot & Cabernet..maka a bit OD, that nite I slept soundly..woke up at 5pm on Saturday =) 12 hours of sleep is very the bahagia...so rolled on the bed a bit..makan the leftovers of the cheesy stuffs left from the company's dinner..and contemplating if I should join Joanne at Velvet that night..Finally let it pass, cos feeling a bit burned out (so unlike me to pass clubbing for supper)..Instead, I met up with Buyong (hehe buyong, you get a special mention in my blog again! See my pengorbanan for u!) for supper..I have never been to Bangsar (oh yes, I'm such a hermit/suaku) so we went to Bangsar Village for supper..looks happening lei..we walked around the streets..I finally saw BarFlam..then got one very Indian club called Chemistry sth sth..that has Bangra nite..Kollywood nite..Bollywood nite...so Buyong and I had this kinda heart-to-heart talk thing..(actually he wanted to consult me for sth.. *wink) oh well..but ended up me consulting/storytelling pulaks. Got home almost 3am and slept at 4am-ish.

The next day, woke up at 7am++~ uh-huh..3 hours sleep pulaks...I went to PERNIM, which Persatuan Kebajikan Anak Pesakit HIV/AIDS Nurul Iman, located in Kg. Baru Cheras...Chun Beng (TCB) invited me as his organization were going to throw a birthday bash for the kids there. The event finished about 2pm++..we played games..(okayyyy..they played games, I helped..to watch..) There are about 40++ kids living in that shelter, and that day there were abt the same number of volunteers. I got assigned to this kid, Amir...but he was soooo scared of me =( Then at last I ended up with a cute boy named Ameer..He wants to be a pilot when he grows up..I wanted to brainwash him to become an aircraft engineer instead,but he's kinda young..so..I didn't. Hehz, we helped them draw their dreams on tiles..there was a clown to entertain the kids and McD sponsored the lunch..lastly we had birthday cake and we kinda wrote wishes on a paper, tie them to helium balloons and let 'em up. (which is kinda like a pollution, cos eventually they'll fall also lar)..but I guess it's for the publicity kinda thing. But luckily I managed to charm a pair of twins (a bit terasa cos Amir was so scared of me..I actually made him sniffle) that kept smiling at me, Aizan and Aizat. But I was quite passive also la..stim stim coz not enough sleep lar...but I'm glad the kids enjoyed themselves..

Then sampailah my detik-detik of why I am so cold and unsteady these few days. The acquisition of a brandnew notebook. *jeng jeng, presenting Satellite M200-E412. Actually, I really really AM broke wan..nak makan also got kesusahan d.. (*sob sob)...but I just HAD to buy this notebook..due to the epiphany/wahyu that I got on Saturday nite at about 8pm..in fact, I immediately called David to ask him abt this Pikom PC fair thing. He says it's open till 9pm only so I couldnt go to the fair that night..Instead, I went Sunday afternoon after the charity thing. Lin works in ExxonMobil, so I conveniently parked at her workplace and she accompanied to fulfill what I was destined to do (which is, of course to buy a laptop). Okay, okay, I was lagi determined after KhongWui bragged about his NEC laptop he bought during the fair.

I was stuck in the car traffic jam on the road for 1 hr but the human congestion at the KL Convention Center was worse!~ My epiphany dictates (don't know it's the correct usage of the term o not) that I have to get a Japanese brand laptop (heeheee..but I heard Dell and HP ones tak tahan marrr)..so it was either Toshiba, NEC or Fujitsu. After comparing here and there..and my budget..actuali my budget is only 2k..but the epiphany thing says must get a good Japanese laptop..pricey wan..aihsssss. Anyway I ended up with this Toshiba notebook lah. Actually I had this warning that says I should not follow what the epiphany reveals, when the credit card I swiped (of course I didn't pay cash..I am broke, remember? I opted for the 12mths easy payment thing) didn't go through. As in, transaction failed la. Meaning lokpao zhor (over d lor)..And I called my assistant boss (a.k.a Dad..Mom is the boss), he asked me not to buy. Since credit card can't go thru ma..why paksa paksa??Wait another day la..But.....

1) My epiphany says I have to, no matter what
2) I been bargaining for 1 hour, it will be so mensiasueikan if I told the salesman, sorry, don't want d..
3) I have not watched anime for a month. Ugh! Esp Naruto, Bleach, Nodame Cantabile
4) If I want sth, I have to get it, or else I won't be able to sleep..
5) I'm tired and feeling a bit stimstim d, so wanted to get it over ASAP

So happens that dear Miss Lee had a credit card with her. and tadaaa...transaction done. although I have no idea how I'm going to pay her back RM4.2k (since Dad specifically says, "if you want it, buy it yourself"). So I am going to skimp and save for a long long long long time..but I'm happy with the notebook la =)

Never date an auditor~

Feeling a little..well..missing childhood the moment. Melancholic I guess, after reading this post by Uncle Lee, a blog I just discovered.. =) Must read..very nice..

That aside, referring to the post title, let me share this encounter I had about, say 2 months ago or so. I went Velvet during the weekend and was introduced to my friend's colleague. He seemed nice and cute and charming (under the flickering lights...or rather, the lack of lights)..and he was sporting enough to dance even though he couldn't really dance. I have this fascination towards guys who know they can't dance, but make the effort to dance (while trying to look cute la of course) and this super anti-sentiments towards guys who can't dance, who think they can dance. -_-" Anyway, at the end of the night, he asked for my number and I gave it to him, since he had such a cute smile (refer him as Mr. A). Eventually we made plans to catch a movie together the next week..

DATE 1

On Thursday, he texted and asked if Saturday is good for Fantastic 4 around lunch time, I said great, and asked if we were going to have lunch together, or only meet up after lunch. He said, "Let's have lunch together" .Hmm a movie and lunch..is this considered a date? Maybe just an outing with a newly acquainted friend. So we met up on Saturday at MidValley for lunch.

"Hey Crystal, so what do you want to have for lunch?" (Btw, it's hooiching/crystal/tan/jingjing, doesn't matter)
"Hmm..Mr. A, I feel like having Japanese food...something cheap is ok..Sushi King, maybe?"
"Japanese food, good...no more fast food for me..been eating that whole week d..don't want sushi king la..it's not nice..recommend u one that very good wan..just a bit more expensive"

So ok lor, we went to eat at Oh Sushi ( I think that's the name la anyway) to have lunch..we both ordered bento..and then mulalah our getting-to-know-each-other session while waiting for our food to arrive. Lao eh..totally felt like I was a criminal..being interrogated and bombarded by questions like:

"How old are you?"
"So, what do you work as?"
"What do you do at work?"
"How much is your salary?"
"What does your dad work as?"
"How much does he earn?"

Background checking meh?? Like,f$%#!? Even me myself never asked my dad how much he earns. And I was sensitive enough to refrain myself from asking those questions, as Dad last time told me a golden rule:
"Never ask a girl how old she is and never ask a guy how much he earns"
But since Mr.A broke the whole rule, I pun just asked him the same lor. I tot getting to know each other involves asking things like..how do you like your work, what do you do during free time, share some jokes..u know?..but he doesn't watch football, nor badminton..and I don't watch F1, and he tried to talk some very aeronautical terms with me, takkan I want to talk about aeronautical engineering things with him meh, he is not from that line ma.. aihsssss.

Habis-habis, when we finished lunch, what a relief..so I asked him,
"So how much is the movie ticket?"
"RM12"
"Uh..okay, so plus lunch RM23, I pay you RM40 lah"
Then he stares at me for 1 ms (milisecond), hesitated for another ms, and thought over it for another ms, and said,
"Wait lah for the bill to come 1st"
Then, the bill came, he paid with his credit card (*Note: He worked for a year d, and I worked less than 2 weeks at that time)..then when the bill came, he showed me the receipt:
"Here is the receipt"
"Uh..ok..so pay you RM40 lah, is enough right plus tax?"
"uh..it should be ok"

Prick. not enough meh, RM38.45 le if the lunch is (RM23+ 15% tax)+movie ticket.. (that is in my heart la I said that)..give you RM1.55 tips thim..I can see him mentally calculating whether it is correct or not..the movie was ok, then after that, he wanted to eat McD ice cream...so I teman him to buy lar..Wah..then he said want to belanja me...ICE CREAM MCD. (My fren said what a cheapo..at least baskin's la)..so..since he still owes me RM1.55, really too yek him d if I just order sundae cone, so I ordered McFlurry's. Hehz, mollified a bit.

After that, pretty uneventful, oh..everytime we have to open the door, he will open the door, he will go thru it, and then lepaskan his tangan, so obviously I have to then use my palm to keep the door opened so that I can exit or enter it. I guess that's what a gentleman always does. He wanted to buy sports shoes so I teman him scouting for a pair la, then there was this shop that dilarang bawa makanan wan, so we were both dihalau keluar from the shop cos of our ice cream..(embarassing but nvm la, it's not that i know a lot of KL-ite anyway) then when he finished his ice cream, he waited for me..then I told him,
"nvm la, you go back into that shop la to look for your shoes"..
he said, "what about you?"
I told him, "dont worry, I know how to keep myself entertained de"

Hohoho, this Mr. A really left and went into the shop..I pun entertained myself la..don't guys know it's the "TRICK QUESTION" thing? (when I related the story to male friends, they didn't see anything wrong with the guy leaving me alone to stand eating McFlurry's...but my girl friends share my sentiments) So I pun lesap lah and went jalan-jalan alone till he called me. At the end of the day, suddenly his charming smile and inquiring nature do not feel charming or cute anymore..it was irritating to see him flash his teeth every 3 seconds.

So that was how I spent my Saturday long long time ago..RM50 bye bye (parking at MidV RM6)

DATE 2

After that, he called me sometimes, texts and stuffs so I thought, perhaps he was just nervous the 1st time around...or he just treats me as a friend, so A-A zai @ go dutch. He asked me out for dinner a few times, but I wasn't free, but on one Wednesday, I agreed la..but I had to buy some groceries as well, which he says he doesn't mind to temankan me. That night, I went to Secret Recipe near my workplace right after work, say about 8.30pm cos I had some stuff to do, he said he didn't mind late dinner..I tot "Aww how sweet..berlapar for me"..

Sesampainya, wah he treated me like long lost friend, happily led me to the table..so chatty..then we ordered food lah..he was going for the lamb shank thing..and I ate some bread at the office d, so I wasn't feeling very hungry, I went for the sorta like calzone thing, forgot the name d..but I know it's RM6.60 like that lah..rancangan penjimatan also ma..since I spent all my salary d at that time...as usual, interrogated again, some were repeated questions from our 1st "date". (sungguh mengirritatingkan cos I was already so tired from work, sumore kena grilled by him) and his smile..oh his smile..gah! There was one time his friend called, then I bet he must've not heard from her for a very very very very very long time cos he talked as if he was in pasar malam or sth. Pleased to note that everyone was staring at us..He looked so..so..civilized but he could emit such..noise..

But nvm..since I'm not those classy type of person, and sometimes I tend to act in such ways also, forgive him lah. He insisted to see my nametag and I lagi insisted not to show him..it was like tug of war, and I finally won. But I was damn pissed off d at that time. I wanted to have a relaxing dinner, not such an uptight one. Then came the same thing again..the bill. I only had RM100 note with me at that time..so he asked what I was looking for..I said, maybe I have small change lei..Again, he gave me the "milisecond" thingy again...then after 3 miliseconds, he said,
"Erm..never mind la..you pay me later"..
please la. RM6.60 aimeh. oh..forgot about the tax as well..anyway, nvm, so we went shopping. He tried to even hold my hand when we crossed the road. please laaaahhhhhh (you guys go figure why I said, please laaaahhhhh)
At Carrefour, we had to insert RM0.20 coins to take the trolley. I even had to use my RM1 to ask him to change for me. Then he actually wanted me to push the trolley myself. Nvm..I lun..but I made him push the trolley after that la. He wanted to do some grocery shopping as well..but when I chose the toilet rolls, and the jamban detergent, he kept telling me to weigh and calculate which brand is more worth it, based on the price and litres and etc. aiyo, RM0.20 nia..and also, don't the girls do that instead? Luckily my friend called me halfway and I talked to him on the phone instead. Finally we paid and everything, he wanted to pay in the same bill, then I pay him cash, I was like, no thanks, better to pay separately (later he go calculate here and there sumore) I also have my credit card, thank you very much..When we were in the car I had change d, so I gave him RM8 for the dinner..I guess he did the mental calculation thingy again and then took the money..I of course asked him, enough or not..he dengan generously said, "I'll give you back the change"
I dengan even more generously said,
"It's ok, you may keep the change"

Then he started making plans for that weekend d..watch Die Hard 4.0..go bowling..this..that..I said..see 1st la..maybe have something to do..then he was pretty persistent to ask what I had to do..I told him maybe hang out with my friend..he sumore ajak to ask the friend to come along worrr, the more the merrier...really no eye see..Do I sound very shallow and $$$ minded from the way I described the encounter with him?? Probably..but if he was more gentlemanly I wouldn't even mind belanja-ing him. But then...?? And lately I received texts from him asking why he doesn't hear from me that often d.. (hmmm I wonder why..)

When I related the incident to my friends, they were chagrined on how the guy was like, esp on:
1) Why he is so kiamsiap/stingy/berkira
2) Why he did all the background checking
and then I said..."He's an auditor"
and then they went..."Ahhhhh...no wonder"

hehe..no offense accountancy/auditing ppl!~

Weekend galore!

Had a totally enjoyable weekend!! No, unfortunately I still have not had the time to watch Transformers yet...

Friday nite we went to Poppy's Garden to chill...it was more like an auditors/accountants' gang coz the group was made up of people mostly from Deloitte and EY..since my friend is from EY anyway..so me and Lin were there to only menumpang bahagia.. Gosh I so so so miss Poppy's. Lately we mostly throng Velvet/Zouk d, cos Poppy's super merimaskan/hot and getting pretty packed till there were no space to dance (on Saturdays la) but last Fri nite was good.. We made some new friends.. quite party animals type I guess. And the music was definitely much better than Velvet's. =) =) Ahhhh but I was feeling fat so I just wore long sleeved shirt. Aiya who cares anyway la just there to berdansa and check out cute guys =)

The night went pretty well and Lin was telling us that no matter what she will grab herself a guy that night..So when a guy chatted her up, I tot she felt, well, happy. You know, as in sense of achievement kinda thing? She kept looking at me and I really thought it was a happy look. Nampaknya I'm not very good at reading signals...cos it was actually a sign of "Help!" Lol, that guy was totally sleazy...I think hands also were everywhere. Lin even sent off her SOS signals to DK and the guys, but nobody picked it up. She finally managed to lepaskan diri though...1st time Joanne, me and DK went up the podium in Poppy's hehe tho my dancing skills is close to spastic. -_-" But Jo and DK damn keng ma..

Hohoho, and Lin's perv's gang's konco actuali hit on us as well. This creepo actually came up to me and asked , "Are you single?" and of course I asked him why does he want to know? This bunch of guys were just at the table next to us btw..then he started asking how old I am yada yada yada. It's kinda offensive right when I don't even know him? (since I am on the brink of being middle-aged d) Then I asked him why lar? He replied in a way that thinks that he is sooo cool, "ya see, I only date older women"..I gave him a very not impressed look and continued dancing with my friends la..then he started dancing around us and went like, "yeah baby ya looking hot...yeahhh seeexxaaayyyyyy" *Pukes pukes pukes...after several more futile attempts of catching our attention, which I ignored him, then finally he glared at me and said, "your loss" *pukes pukes pukes pukes. That has to be the worst ever pick-up lines I ever heard, itu pun from a guy that is not even half-cute and can't dance. -_-" If he looked well, at least sweet or something that maybe can be acceptable la though. Can consider di-picked up. But ewwwwwww. But overall it was an enjoyeable night, there was a guy in our group Dave who danced really well and boy, can he entertain!He danced with like, 10 of us girls etc etc

Since we got home so late d, so I bunked in at Lin's =) Slept till noon, then bergolek-golek on the bed till 3pm till we finally got ourselves up..Had lunch at Summit and did some light shopping with her..She adopted a child or sth and had to fulfill 3 wishes of her 'kid'. At night, I met up with Buyong after berkurun abad tak berjumpa with him =) Such a good timing that he happens to be in KL..we went for Kajang Satay..and this KL guy..haihs..claimed that he is such a pro, but actually is not a pro..akhirnya I have to lead the way, even though I am geographically challenged *tsk tsk tsk (p/s: buyong I hope u r reading this~) At last we called up Alvin to ask where this famous Sate Kajang is also lar..Hj Samsuri..yum yum. we had 33 sticks of etc etc satays..yummy..Buyong is still lawak giler as last time, but bertambah boroi d..The last time I met him for supper was about 3-4 yrs ago. Oh well, great catching up with him =) And since this guy kept proclaiming that he is so blardy rich now, sure give him the honour of belenja-ing me la.haha.

and Sunday me went shopping with Lin to Suria KLCC!~ At 1st we were just going to scout and window shop only..mana tau..we terbeli quite some stuffs..and by meaning of terbeli, I bought:
3 Pairs of shoes, 2 tops, lingeries and Nike apparel (but the Nike one still not confirmed yet..must wait fren to see got stock or not only get for me). Lin got herself 2 tops and lingerie and shoes as well. Hohoho let's just say that I blew more than RM300 and basically the rest of what's left of my salary for AUGUST. Kalau tak silap saya..today only 30th July hor..oh well..have to survive for another 26 days only wad...sap sap la..cintan mee sebungkus only RM0.50...it's time for diet anyway =P But it was sooooo nice to be spending my own money..I guess. Haha. and we were holding so many paperbags with us. I guess that's what they call happy shoppers?..But now are broke shoppers d la.haha we actually walked for more than 5 hours..

Nvm lor..I find the wrong guy and the guy to sara me till next mth la hor..lol

lou yan chi ngoi zheng?

@ Alzheimer's disease...from its support group, the earliest symptom is dementia (severe impairment or loss of intellectual capacity and personality integration, due to the loss of or damage to neurons in the brain.)

actually I just wanna say that I have severe "tai thao ha" (big head prawn) symptom of late. Few weeks ago..I actually went to the ATM and forgot to take my ATM card after withdrawing $$. obviously my card ditelan when I went back to retrieve it..I was at KLCC and there was nobody queuing up behind me so pretty sure nobody took it.. End up kena cancel the card..and today I made a new ATM card..cos cash habis d..this mth's salary is in! buuaaa huaaaa huaaaa

then just now I actually thought I lost my hp..either left it at the bank, or the indian shop, or somewhere else..cari cari..mana tau is in my colleague's car..

and I kept forgetting stuffs..and mostly mix up things.

Maybe I AM overworking myself..but this week really breezed by..and I am going to partaaayyyy tonight! probably off to Poppy's to burn off more brain cells leading to more degeneration of the brain cells.

Got my salary two days ago. As of just now, after membayar the hutang hutang sekalian, I have 1/3 left for another..well, 4 weeks? Need to ration..ration...!

Hmmm...you know, a stalk of plastic flower appeared by my desk today. but can't officially declared that it was for me, as it was placed between me and David's cubicles, and there wasn't any note. It could even be for my another colleague who sits opposite me. But he's a guy. so takkan my male colleagues got female secret admirers?? Hmmm. ok ok don't think so much...probably it's misplaced only. I also didn't notice it till my head of dept mentioned to me...

Happy weekend guys!~

p/s: Pathetic me have not had a chance to watch Transformers yet boohoohooo..
