Selamat Hari Merdeka

Happy Independence Day ! I am writing in Malay this time. Sorry if you don't understand, but nothing much, just exercising my BM. ;)

Sempena menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan dan menyahut laungan rakan belog untuk membelog dalam Bahasa Malaysia (Kempen
aku juga ingin turut serta menyibuk menyokong kempen ini. Tetapi kalau nak suruh aku mendaftar, ala...malas pula.

Apa yang nak diblelogkan ? Bengang pula...lagipun hari ni cuti, tak guna sangat otak...ni baru habis siap buat rantai kristal and anting-anting untuk rakan sekerja. Meow pula terlena di atas katil. Kalau nak keluar bersiar-siar atau 'shopping', malas juga, lagipun, pasti banyak orang dan kereta. Tonton tv ? Tak boleh juga...ibubapanya duk syiok dengan rancangan-rancangan Mandarin di Astro....habis macam mana ? JJ pun sedand lena, mestilah....ada kipas tersendiri.

Hai....rindu sangat dengan Nescafe ku...kat sini bukannya tiada kopi, tapi susah sikit, bukan rumahku atau pejabat, seganlah....tak pa, lain kali sajalah. Mesti ingatkan diri untuk beli periuk elektrik mini. Boleh bancuh dalam kamarnya, haha.

Dalam suasana yang sebegini, terimbas pula peristiwa-peristiwa hidupku selama ini, ada yang sedih, ada yang sukacita. Namun hatiku masih pilu, pedih...bagai disengat onak. Ku masih belum 'sembuh' sepenuhnya. Rasa seperti ada sesuatu yang terpendam. Adakala air mata menitis, bukan untuk dia yang pergi, tetapi untuk hati yang hancur...pegangan dan janji yang kononnya teguh, hancur-berkecai dengan kata-katanya....setiap patah perkataan yang diucapkan, tersemat dalam hati seolah ditebuk atau dipaku dengan dalamnya. Mungkin disebabkan perbuatannya kini bercanggahan dengan prinsip dirinya. Semua yang dia benci, dia lakukan untuk perempuan sial tu. Mungkin ini namanya cinta? Atau terpukau ? Aii...biarlah...lepaskan diriku...kalau boleh, aku tidak mahu apa-apa berkaitan dengannya lagi.

Masih teringat katanya..."As an ex, I will still be there for you and concern for you...". Pi lah ! Rakan apa ni ? Bulan lepas, ayahku masuk hospital, bukannya dia tidak tahu. Bila ku kembali kerja selepas seminggu, tidak pun dia menanya khabar....kawan apa ni ? Memang kecewa sekali ! Kalau boleh tidak ingin berdepan atau ternampak kedua-duanya...tak mengapa...tidak lama lagi, mereka akan pindah ke tingkat bawah.

Tak palah...nasib baik masih ada rakan karib, Meow, keluarga and Tuhan yang Maha Esa...cukup menyentuh and bersyukur. Sudah memadai.

Ok la, setakat ini sahaja buat kali ini, mungkin akan mencuba di hari depan. Tak terlarat pula nak memerah otak....susah la, nak korek kembali...banyak yang 'tetanam' dalam otakku yang terbatas peringatannya.

Selamat Hari Merdeka !

Joez - Simply Me

Someone told me that my blog very sien....of coz la, no more drama series ma...unless u want me to suffer again like last year till beginning of this year?
Now life quite peaceful ma. Work, eat, outing, beads, pets, nothing much.

Someone else told me my blog very confusing....the date I posted and the thing I said....hmmm....like when I said I 'am in KL' but I am actually in Penang. Aiya, I blog about my life, my history...very difficult to blog about the present....tak cukup masa. Sometimes I leave it for one week or two before I update ma, my blog is like my diary. I write almost everything...of coz some things have to censor la. Tak kan u wanna know how many times I visit the toilet meh ? Or whether I shave or pull my armpits hair ? Or whether I fantasize Asian guys, black or white guys? Aiya, these are too personal, cannot blog ler. I very chicken...wanna read juicy stuff, go visit Hustler Diaries ok.

Mine is just plain, simple, that's why I named my blog Simply Me. But sometimes, things / ppl / environment complicate my life...sigh ~~ ! But never mind, I still have God to turn to and be strong and of coz friends and family who are always there for me.

Then the next question came...how come I can still remember what happened after so long....aiya...to tell the truth, my memory sucks, very selective...only remember what I prefer. I have a doc, which I will record very briefly according to date. So, whenever I wanna update, I will recall from these brief summaries....but when I left too long, I would just lumped few days together, otherwise, I will just wrote "Due to poor memory, I cannot remember what happened on this day" :P

Ok, there...u can choose to come or not to come, or just to 'pinjam' (borrow) to jump to other blogs (My Nescafe Blogs). To tell the truth, sometimes I am too lazy to update, prefer to go kepo other blogs. I am currently very much hooked to 'Wa Si Hokkien Lang' (sorry for those who doesn't understand Hokkien), but you can still enjoy others ma. There are some cool blogs which I enjoy too but didn't include in the link....they are just too damn popular, for e.g. almost everyone knows where to go for Kenny Sia or Minishorts...no need to put also know liao.

Sometimes blog too much, I got this 'penyakit', 'blogging' unconsciously in my mind....do u call this Mental Blog ? Too bad by the time I get my hands on the PC, the thoughts went away liao. Anyway, now u know my style, my blog, and the simple me.

So...happy blogging or reading blog la.

Got this cute dog for Gavin

He came, he sniffed, he peed... 

Happy Family

Got permission from cashier before I snapped the pix

Aug 18 - To Fly or not to fly

Morning already excited. Half day work then can cabut.
Gavin so nice, fetched May and I to airport. We had Nandos for lunch. I dun like Nandos but not much choice in Airport. Either that or Coffee Bean. Not like KLIA, so many choices.

May wanted to visit her bro and kao tim some things since she's moving there after resign. Glad to be on the same flight with her, otherwise sien si. Anyway, this is first time I go KL by flight for holiday. Some light turbulence on the way, clouds....alamak....kept praying...sudah jadi 'kay bo' (chicken) since I heard about Gavin's experience.

His was on the way back from KL to Pg. There was turbulence and captain announce that lights would be dimmed. Plane was shaking a lot like roller coaster ride. As the pilot tried to land, the whole plane was very very quiet, everyone holding tight, some to the seats, some to the person next to them. Not a single flight attendant in sight as they have been instructed to be seated. The plane was actually heading for the runway, ready for landing but suddenly it made an almost 45 degree change, flying upwards again into air......everyone shouted in the darkness....luggage compartment doors flung almost all at the same time ! No one dared to leave their seats to close it, yet at the same time feared that luggages might start falling onto them. As soon as the plane began flying horizontally and away from the clouds, some began to sigh relief while some still breathing heavily. Captain announced that he might try to land in Pulau Langkawi instead.....after a while, he decided to try landing at Pg Airport. Gavin said his heart beat real fast when the plane was landing.....as soon as the wheels touched the ground, everyone cheered ! It felt like experiencing something you watched in the movie...almost 30 mins....wonder if anyone shit in the pants. Later the pilot apologised but passengers were more happy than angry.
After hearing his experience and reading few mishaps in the papers....how not to worry ? But no choice, wanna save time so that can shop, so I fly lo.

Oh...May and I queued at the other line without family, we were the first two, however ppl were pushing their way in the family line. And the air stewardess treated like we were transparent. After some time waiting...May asked innocently "What should I do ah?". I almost wanted to speak out when one of the air stewardess realised we have been waiting for more than 10 mins and started to check our ID and boarding pass before letting us pass through.

We saw lotsa 'Ninjas' and avoided sitting near them. See them wearing all covered and in black already feel like 'lemas' (drowning). Wonder how to verify if the person is carrying fake / real passport since the face is covered and only left eyes. Saw the air stewardesses did some head count...there was one group of nine ppl whereby 7 of them are 'ninjas' (ladies). Since cannot check the face, so, she just counted 1,2,3,4,...9. Walau eh, so easy huh. What if got terrorists ah ? Can have something to scan the face when they pass through ...like those which scanned our bags ? Feel so insecure la.

We took KLIA transit since May will go off at Putra Jaya. After reaching KL Sentral, I changed to KTM, paid RM 1 to go to MidValley. Reached there 5.30pm, SMSed Meow and eagerly started my shopping ! Within 15 mins, I bought 3 blouses already. Then I did a lot of spying on jewellery esp beaded stuff. Noticed that KL girls like these a lot and almost every girls have fancy dangling earrings or necklaces. Walked into those shops selling crystals...ahh...so I know how much they are selling.

7pm, Meow came with Neoh (his colleagues) to join me. He was telling his colleagues "See, told u, she already bought something". 1.5 hour, I baru shopped 1 floor :P
Die, MidValley so big, how? He perli me, I come back tomorrow to pick u. Teng !
We were hungry, so we went for the long awaited meals / drinks at San Francisco Coffee. The extreme Mocha as suggested by Lilian is really nice. Neoh walked a short while with us before he disappeared to catch train to KL Sentral and proceed to KLIA. He went back to Pg. Meow took leave ma. So, we walked around, I was quite tired actually...we didn't buy much things. I wasn't really interested in clothes. Focused on cute stuff and 'survey'.

By 9.30pm, feet exhausted liao....cannot walk ler. We took train to Asia Jaya before taking cab back to his hotel.

Aug 17 - Meow's away

After lunch at Tesco, we browsed around. Saw dog's anti-tick collar - RM 22.45. Since Gavin said this is recommended by vet, ok, I bought one for Ron.

Surprisingly Chris joined us for dinner tonight. We tried the new Japanese Restaurant at Krystal Point - Jurin, near Siriwan. Nice, I quite like it there.

Called Meow when I reached home. He was already back to hotel. He's away for training in KL. Shall be joining him tomorrow evening. I still haven't pack my clothes.
Packed my stuff late at night. Having doubts on whether to bring laptop over or not.

Aug 16 - Places I ban

Yeaa, my lunch partner is back but with sexy voice. Everyday lunch time, headache, dunno where to go, lai-lai khi-khi same few places. Somemore we each ban certain places.

Gavin bans : Jln Tengah (flat), Supertanker
Reason : Hot, lotsa ppl, hard to get seats

I ban : SSQ foodcourt, Secret Recipe (SSQ, near KFC), Foodcourt near Shell, can I ban Kayu also ? Kayu, I only go for dinner, try not to sit inside.
Reason : Clothes become smelly and hot.

So, u see, everyday without fail, he or other lunchmates (if any joins in) would tease me of going to the places I ban. Yes, every working day! And after lunch, Gavin will ask the same question....are u pregnant ? Duh ! It's because our nearer car park always full, only spaces left are those for pregnant ladies.
Since I ban so many places, my lunchmates will tell any new lunchmates and spread abt my banned places, so seems like a lot of ppl know I dun go to these places for lunch/dinner. Even Meow's female colleagues started to agree and ban SSQ foodcourt. If I go....have to make sure I can go straight home, shower, shampoo my hair 2 times immediately. It's like a big sacrifice, I feel suffocated, 'kow ueik' and can't enjoy the food. Kill me better.
So, last year, before I resigned, my colleagues made me go SSQ foodcourt for one last time....so I did. I almost died....ueekk...was so uncomfortable after lunch, wished I had brought my towel, shampoo and extra clothes along. Some more that time my hair long....aiya....so, imagine, the whole of me smelt like rojak food. Really torturing man. They snapped a picture of me to prove my presence there and sent to Allan and Keone in China. Kena perli, said they go buy lottery. Duh !

Ok, sudah out of topic, back to Aug 16. Lunch we round round....ended up at Sunway Tunas, coffee shop, ya, we hardly eat there, so ok, can add to our list.

Dinner with Meow's sis and her fiance plus fiance's parents from France. We had seafood at Oriental Seafood at Gurney. The parents of her fiance don't speak/understand English. So, the fiance was the translator. Food was so-so. I still prefer Bkt Tambun...cheap and good.
After dinner, quite late liao, so I went straight home.

Aug 15 - Dance is Motivation

Gavin on MC. He was already badly affected by the haze when he went to KL the week before, and now lagi worse since he went to kepo and khek bak siao at Esplanade on Sat. Since my lunch mate not around, I makan alone at cafeteria.
If not for dancing class, I also dun feel like coming to work today. We had lotsa fun at class today. I was trying to get more guys to join. CC agreed to join but insisted that I have to be his partner. Edmund refused to join no matter how many times I tried. Surprisingly, Anand wants to join. Thanks man, I am sure you will have fun.

Next batch will start Sept but will be Fri instead of Monday....cham....no motivation to work on Mon liao.

Aug 14 - Enjoying Rest Day

We had lunch at Meow's home. We dun have anything planned and I was too lazy to start my report yet. Didn't touch anything yesterday coz busy with BBQ ma.

We went to Air Itam's pet shop to get dog biscuits and can food for JJ. The shop is bigger and has more choices. 3kg biscuits cost us near to RM 50.
Having a dog is almost as costly as raising a kid...not meh ?

We had our favourite rojak for 'tea'. On the way to Gurney Plaza, we saw another pet shop....hmm...we decided to 'look-see look-see'. So after he parked the car, we hurried and walked to the pet shop nearby (bungalow house). Takut close soon coz evening liao ma. Waaa...so many things. The owner has few dogs following her around the shop. Cute ! Got dresses, costumes and suits for Doggies, cushioned beds and of coz other normal stuff la.

We bought some more pet food. Satisfied, we ronda around, did some spying on bracelets and beads prices. Didn't buy anything except for Meow who bought some socks... sien liao....so back to the car. But Meow still didn't wanna go home, he suggested Starbucks....ok ok, how could I resist Starbucks? So, we had dinner there as well, of coz I wouldn't order anything else other than Frappuccino Expresso. He ordered Coffee with Jelly....that's too sweet for me.

Finally, back home, showered, and started work.....by the time I was done, Meow was in dreamland.

Aug 13 - BBQ

A call from Bee Hoon asking for the location of vet woke me up. Luckily she called coz I dozed off after my alarm buzzed. 10am liao ! Need to go market get sweet potato, cili padi, squids and fish. I dun like to go wet market, very geli and dirty, not forgetting the stench. Still remember when young, I used to black out whenever I go market. I was rather weak and always black out esp. if I feel suffocated, even when I stand too long during school assemblies.
Anyway, I did not black out this time, hehe. But got some dirty water splashed onto my foot when near the fish stalls....eee yaaa....I hope no more next time.
After marketing, we had our breakfast at the SSQ market food court.

The haze was bad, my eyes itched and watery. Been sneezing a bit.
Rested a while and started working on the chicken in the afternoon.

First, boil the chicken meat to half cook or fully cook. Then pour the mixed BBQ sauce (also can use to dip before eating) onto the scooped out chicken and marinate for half hour to one hour. The trick is, u dun have to BBQ too long, so you can avoid eating carboned chicken !

I then had a hard time cleaning the squids, due to the 'black ink'. His mom taught me how to pull the middle part and cut out the eyes. Fish....alamak ! This one really have to hand over to his mom. Meow prepared the boiled water and container, I mixed the blackcurrant syrup. Light slit on the sausages so that can cook faster.
Finally, can bathe before guests coming at 7pm. We waited till almost 8.30pm before ppl start showing up, walau eh, really Malaysian time hor.

They started working on the chicken and sausage immediately. Bruce was so excited with the sauce, later his hands felt the sting from the spicy sauce as he had whole hand with sauce when poking the chic through the BBQ sticks.
Almost everyone complemented on the sauce and asked how to mix the recipe. Of coz I didn't take the credit, I mentioned, it was my dad's recipe. He was once a chef in Nestle, dun siao-siao.

We watched the Summer concert live from 8TV. Gavin and Kean Eng were there at Esplanade. Can hardly see...as we're at the porch and TV in the living room, but surround speakers on, so ok la. We sapu habis everything. Sausages, chicken, fish, squids...almost finished. Sweet potatoes still left a bit as everyone sudah full. I showed off my beaded stuff. Roger ordered 2, wanna kao lui maybe? S.Lin and YT both like the same bracelet, so I have to make another one.
After that we cleaned up and Meow colleagues left by 12 midnight.
Meow washed up the floor while I washed the plates/trays. Showered and finally can rest. Phew ! Damn tired.

Aug 12 - Unintended Sales

Managed to pass Sako the $ for food fair tickets. Those of you who have bought, don't forget to go support on 25th Sept, Jubilee Old Folks Home at Sg. Dua. Not yet buy also can go buy there, morning till 3pm on Sunday.
Sako handed me my leftover beads from the Nyonya fair and the $ I made.
I brought the beads to office as was too lazy to go back in the house. Showed to a few colleagues, somehow, a few ppl nearby got interested and wanted to buy. I sold them at discounted price. Some ordered from me as they wanted customised colour / designs. :)

Initially wanted to buy the chilli/tomato sauce during lunch, but I decided to buy only after work. 7 - 8 bottles, very heavy, some more cannot leave in the car, hot ma.
So, after work, we had McD at Sunshine. After getting the sauce and BBQ stuff, Meow dropped me home. Dad helped me to mix his own recipe of BBQ sauce. He gave me tips on how to season and marinate the chicken meat. Guaranteed sedap, yummy !

Back, tired and hungry

It's 5pm +, just finished checking mails and doing my report....damn hungry. Cannot tahan liao. Wanna go makan my breakfast...er I mean my first meal.

Away

I won't be updating my blog until next week (hopefully). Will be going to KL tomorrow...shopping!
Take care all.

Aug 11 - JJ wants his Daddy

Lunch, we had Pan Mee, no need to wait long as we went before 12noon. Chuah joined us as well. Should've bought lottery ticket. Speaking of lottery ticket, I still haven't check for the results, bought two in July....hopefully I remember later.

After work, Meow wanted to bring JJ for vaccination. Supposed to bring JJ few weeks ago but somehow we have things to do.
Gave JJ a quick bath and into the car he went. We wanted to go to the vet at Hillside but afraid might be closed in case jam...so we went to Peng Aun at Sg. Dua instead. The vet is very nice, he didn't try to sell us anything when I asked for advice on food/shampoo. JJ seems to have dandruff and losing hair around his eyebrows, ears...vet took sample of his skin, could be infection from yeast. We need to keep JJ dry and put cream on his ears. It's a bit difficult since JJ's ears are so long, everytime he drinks milk from the bowl, his ears will be a little wet.

The vet and his assistants seem to like JJ, they kept playing with him. When the vet gave JJ his jab, JJ didn't move a muscle, like 'boh rasa'...hmm....very 'bhan phuey'. But JJ is so cute, he knows how to entertain himself and us, even when he play with his toys, u can laugh or smile...he is sooooo adorable !

Nowadays JJ loves his daddy a lot. Whenever he sees Meow, 5 seconds after Meow went into room, JJ will start to bark, asking for Daddy. Hehehe. So, Meow has to play with him or bring him downstairs to 'poo poo'.

After the vaccination, back to home, he was shaking a bit, maybe not used to being in the car. As soon as he touched the ground, he went ueeekkkk ueeeekkk....alamak, must be car sick. After a while he was ok, jumping here and there.

We were supposed to have dinner coz calories burnt out liao, but Meow didn't want to eat for fear it would be his turn to throw up later. So, I had Char Mee near my place, it wasn't good or maybe I find it a bit oily.

Back home called Sako to inform her about the tickets, will pass her the money next morning before I go to work.

Aug 10 - A,B,C please

Today a bit busy as I have to make sure my report template is correct with new Quotas set in. Gee...I really dislike numbers. If only I can trade it with a 10,000 words report. I dun mind writing A,B,C, but not working with 1,2,3. Headache...headache.

Lunch at BJ, wan tan mee...kesian the ah pek. The foodcourt looks like tak boleh tahan lama...only few stalls left.
After makan, went to buy Nescafe Gold...low supply liao. I saw tools boxes, so I bought two to keep my beads collection.

Since today is Wed and Meow is free from badminton, we dun have to rush through dinner. After KFC (I know....fattening but Meow likes ma), we went to buy our BBQ stuff. Got a small dustbin to put in his room.

Back to his place, spent some time with JJ. Sleep late again.

Aug 9 - Movie Rush

Chuah joined us for lunch, surprised he would agree, normally have to pre-book him.
As Gavin was still sick, forced him to take bee hoon soup. Hehe.

Rushed to GSC Gurney after work. I think this is the first time I went for a movie on weekday.
Roger and Heng came few mins later. Initially, YT, SL are supposed to join but last min didn't go.
We watched 7 Swords, cantonese movie...ok la, so-so nya. I don't really like the camera angles and shots...felt like being cheated. Nothing much to see.
I would've preferred to watch Stealth but those girls said they dunno how to watch wor...sigh !

We don't have enough time for dinner, I was hungry, so we had to make do with chicken nuggets and popcorn. Back home, after shower, alamak, a bit hungry.
Dad cooked porridge, he insisted I take some...ok ok, so I finished the last bowl.
Ngam ngam ho...not too much. :)

Change HP number

Last nite, when I was about to shower...my hp beeped, new SMS.

From 01X-4448888
Hi, I've changed my number to 01X-4448888.
Hope you dun mind to update yr phonebook. Thx.

Of coz I dun mind, but how to update ? I have no idea who just sent me that SMS. Have u received such SMS before ?

Aug 8 - No Dancing...sien

Today no dancing class as Townhall has been booked for Sales training. Replacement was last week.
Gavin on MC...must be due to Haze in KL. He was there over the weekend.
So, a bit sien for me...no one to berborak-borak with.
Had lunch with Chuah. At first he hesitated when I told him Gavin not in, but I think he just joined me coz he wanted to keep his words.

After lunch, I went around, since still early...I managed to sell all tickets for the Old Folks Home Charity Food Fair.

I overheard my cube neighbour mentioning Edmund being absent ...his granny passed away. Forked out RM 50, passed to her, wrote down my name and sis' name. He's my sis college mate ma, nice guy.

I was like counting the hours, minutes and seconds. Finally, Meow came to fetch me. We had something light. He has his game at 7pm...me ? What else, shopping la. I started with SSQ basement...then to ground floor, admiring jewelleries and 'spy' the prices....satisfied...went to try some jeans...before I knew it, 9pm liao, Meow called, they finished and going to SSQ market foodcourt to have dinner/drinks. I baru reach 1st floor some 10 mins before he called, trying another pair of jeans. Told him I will be there in a while. I bought 2 pairs....no blouse, never mind, next time.

Joined his colleagues and boss. Nothing inviting for dinner...we had drinks only and moved to Super Tanker while the rest went back. Had fried rice but couldn't finish, just lost the appetite. Maybe too oily. Wanted to have lok-lok, but tak buka...sien.

Aug 7 - Fattening food again

Cham liao ! Almost every week I have fattening food. This time it's Pizza...long time didn't eat liao, since Apr. We had the 3 Cheese flavours in 1 pizza. Yummy ~ ~ !! Diet...what diet ? Hehehe...

After late lunch, we decided to loose some calories by shopping ...yup...not only loose calories... $ also ler. Bought some grocery stuff....forced Meow to buy some pants, he gained some wieght, heh heh...I am not the culprit ah...but at least he won't look too skinny ma.

This week, the only week I don't have to do any reports since the Quotas are not finalised yet. Damn 'song'...no need to worry or hurry.

Aug 6 - Cheapest source

I have a mission today, so I woke up quite early coz excited. After lunch at Swatow Lane...so hungry, have to isi perut first ma...we went searching for Lean Trading. Turn out it's situated at Victoria Street, directly opposite Pos Laju. I was so happy...so many beads and materials to choose...lucky thing Meow was patient and didn't complain....waiting for me to choose my beads. I spent more about RM 170.00 but was satisfied. I finally found the cheapest source in Penang.

We didn't go anywhere else after that. Could see that Meow was tired. He washed his car this morning. So he took his nap while I made a set of bracelet, earrings and necklace. By the time he woke up, it was supper time, but we were only going for our dinner.

I checked my mails, my FC didn't send me the Quota numbers yet, so I can't do my report, nvm, this week can enjoy a bit.

Aug 5 - Recharge

Feeling tired as I haven't really rest since Qtr end, I chose to stay home instead of following my aunties and uncle shopping / makan today. Too much good food liao, cannot ler.
I thought I could wake up by noon and watch some tv programmes while I make my bracelets. Ended up waking way past noon, almost tea time, ooops ! But I feel recharged !

I finished off my 2/3 of the sweet corn I bought earlier. Yep, that was my breakfast/lunch. Of coz...how to start my day without Nescafe? After my coffee...I told dad I was going to the saloon. Sent Meow SMS telling him that I will there till about 7pm.
Oh, I called my hairstylist first to check if she was busy, she said ok, she asked me to bring my bracelets to show off. Wow, she remembers ! I told her like 3 months ago. I brought along Jee Kor's creations. Ah Hoon, my hairstylist, she took each one out, sometimes putting it round her neck, some on her wrist....asking lots of questions. She had swarovski crystals on her wrists, single line thread. She asked how to make into the patterns I had. I told her if she's interested, I can make for her, she only has to supply her own beads. The best thing is she shared with me on where to get the materials. The cheapest so far. Yes, I would be going the next day !
I was already so excited when she drew me the map.

I was then engrossed with the Cleo, Women Weekly magazines. Nowadays, she has the most recent magazines, unlike last time, she collect older ones. By 7pm, my hair looked maroon enough. Satisfied :)
I sat there with another magazine while waiting for Meow to call me. Ok, he said he was almost there. I went to tah pao 2 more dishes as dad said he wanted to cook vege and fried fish.
Just as I thought, Meow doesn't like the vege. I think dad is more pro at cooking curry ! His curry, one of the best ! I like esp. his BBQ prawns, :)'

Shortly after dinner, my aunties and uncle came to visit us, together with Small See and her parents. Dad was upstairs having a nap. They said no need to wake him up. Ok. Meow went off for his game while I was left to entertain them. After they left, I was happy making my earrings till late again.

Aug 4 - Eventful day

On leave today. By 10am+, I joined my 3 aunts and uncle to town. First to Mydin to get some materials for my bracelets n necklaces.
So hungry...din have breakfast, almost wanna pengsan while waiting for Jee Kor and Ah Tiong to withdraw some $ at Maybank, Komtar.
Next, headed to Wonderland Restaurant just opposite, buffet lunch, RM 10 per head. So much variety of local food. I like the Bak Kut Teh. The Chai Buey not 'kick' enough, something missing la. Lotsa kuihs as well. I was damn full ler.

After lunch, we headed to Soo Thong to get more beads. Dropped Mako home. She wanted to catch her Korean series. Then back to Sako's apartment...straight away, I started working, showed Jee Kor on how to make a particular pattern. Halfway through, very hot, I went for a quick shower and continue making second one.

Waited for Mako and Meow to join us for dinner. Yummy Choo Char near PBB at Pantai Jerajak there. So full...die la, sure fat eat so much.

Meow went for his game while I followed my relatives back to Sako's place. Continued another bracelet before Mako dropped me off. Back home, after shower, I made some earrings, very happy and satisfied....I continued till almost 5am.
Cannot sleep till 6am. Excited I guess.

Aug 3 - Holiday mood

Spent most of the time doing my claims. Was too busy last week, OT also didn't claim...but now that I am quite free, better do it fast, moreover today is cut-off wor. Since I will be taking two days off, Thurs & Fri, I was kinda lazy and so in holiday mood. Had to find time to accompany my relatives from Sydney.

Lagi best, I got dance class, it's replacement for next Monday. After dance, I waited for Meow. We had dinner with my 2nd aunt (Jee Kor) n her hubby who came abt 2 weeks ago. Pai seh, I was too busy ler. Luckily they dun leave until 7th Aug.
We had dinner at the new restaurant : Golden e-Bay. It's a mix of Chinese and Thai Cuisine. The food is so-so. I feel that other normal choo-char is nicer. As for the Thai food, Siriwan is better. Anyway, u never know until u try ma.

After dinner, we headed back home with my 3 aunties, uncle and Meow. They wanted to visit dad for reflexology massage. I kena 'put on table', dad massaged my wrist and back....waaa....so painful....i think my problem is serious.

I showed Jee Kor how to make bracelets. After they left, I got to rest...finally. Have a busy schedule for the next day.

Aug 2 - Work on Bed

Due to miscommunication with Meow, I ended up working from home. He thought I wanted to take leave on Tues.
Never mind, it was beginning of a new Quarter, so still ok.
I felt so tired n sleepy, but still I stayed in front of my PC for full 8 hours ! Eh, got toilet breaks of coz. Lunch ? Well, I had a slice of the 'Roti Kek' (half bread half cake) which my salesrep gave me. Yummy ! I miss my Nescafe though...

Managed to update my blog after MIA for so long.
Waited till Meow came back, by then I was so hungry.
Packed my stuff and home I went as I haven't seen dad for few days liao. :P

Went back, saw a packet of beads. Seems like my 2nd aunt gave me, called Sako to confirm. Yes, wow...so many, so nice, so happy !

What is this ?

Can someone tell me the name of this animal ?

Looks like porcupine, but dun think it's one though....any idea ?

Dreaming Away...

Isn't it cute ? Sound asleep, so peaceful....eh, not dead la.
I saw this hamster in a pet shop and couldn't resist snapping it :)
If only I can sleep like it...so peaceful.

Start my day with...

Nescafe + Nestle's Teapot Condensed Milk

Yes, I cannot survive through the day without Nescafe. And now, with this 'Easy Squeeze', it gives my Nescafe more "Uuummpphh !". I had been waiting for so many years for Nestle to come out with this brilliant idea. Now, it's so convenient and I can make my Nescafe + Teapot Condensed Milk in the office and whenever I travel ;)

AHHhhhhHHhhhhhh ~~~ !

Aug 1 - Peaceful start

I had like only 2 hours sleep. Little misunderstanding with Meow, we made up, but then JJ was making noise. So sleepy, but still, I went to work...coz got dancing later !
It was pretty nice day. Quite relaxing after I sent out some reports. Managed to do my OT claims which I missed out during my leave. I had breakfast with Meow as he went straight to customer's site near my office. Was still quite full during lunch, so I opted for Rojak and fruits. Dunno why, usually I would love to have the BJ Pan Mee, but then I felt like I couldn't take in the oily noodles.

Dancing class was fun as usual. We have to start gathering ppl to join in Sept class as some existing members cannot make it on Friday. I hope there will be enough ppl, I would love to continue. It's good exercise and fun ma. Dunno why the guys shy away / not interested. It's not sissy at all. In fact, it's a good sport.

After dance, I clear some mails...then dinner with Meow and his colleagues and boss. This time slept quite early, was in bed by 12am. I ignored the SMS from Sales CM, sent me SMS at 11.45pm, asking if I can talk....siao.

Son out, Father in (Part 2)

*** continued from previous post ***

I reached home, I had a quick shower, while dad packed his stuff. Suddenly he said no need to fetch him...he will just go to a clinic. Panicked, sweat ! I had to act 'firm'. I said "No, better go hospital, if midnite anything how?" I know dad dun wanna 'mah huan' us. But I insisted he go...so off we went within 10 mins time.

Meow was driving, dad seated at the back...kept reminding me to off gas, lock doors...hmm....still can worry about me. I was trying very hard not to shed tears.

By 1am, dad was admitted for further check-up as the doc was not in. I made sure everything was fine before I left. SMSed SIL, she called back. She had to go KL next day for work. Dad reminded me, "tell yr Koko, not to come visit me, I will be even more upset, I will chase him away"
I just kept quiet. We left after that.

Called Sako to tell her, she was worried too. She said tomorrow morning will go with me to see dad.

19th July - I was so tired, I hardly slept, I cried myself to sleep. Was awaken by calls...Mako, Sako, then Koko...he was like possessed. I kept my cool. He wouldn't listened. Later he harrassed me with SMS. I replied what I had to...praying that he will realise his doings...then I was busy getting ready and feeding the dogs, he called me again "eh, quiet already?" I told him I was not so free to argue...what he said, I counter off with explanations and reasons....hopefully he will realise that he too was doing the same to Wilfred. He shouldn't blame dad for not taking care of him since young. Dad was away working and left Koko with grandparents. Koko was upset and thought Dad doesn't love him, now only wanna take care of him. I told him dad loves him the most...his only son...his sacrifices means a lot. Koko said he cannot stand, Dad very bossy...I told him, to give and take, this is not permanent, just for few weeks...try to reason nicely....then Koko was like shouting again....damn...both father and son, really same. Boh lat.

Dad looked tired, he couldn't sleep with even 2 sleeping pills. Next to his bed, a 19 yr old kid, hit & run victim, had a broken left leg, told me my dad was very upset last nite. They talked thru till morning.

Dad had the stress test and on Wed, Endogram test. Doc found 3 arteries blocked and advised to go for ballooning.
Thurs, the Ballooning was done, 5 stands altogether. Dad looked fine. He just needed lotsa rest.
I was on emergency leave, taking care of Dad, the dogs, fishes...lucky thing Meow was there.
On Sat, I was so touched when Meow helped to change the water in the tanks...About 4 aquariums...really tiring. I was busy helping with the hose and cooking dog's food. Also, my team members and boss send regards and flowers. Oh...Y.Nee and Gigi too...thank you for calling when you saw my OOO message.
And to sis...sorry...I had no choice but to hide from u first...I was really upset and busy, didn't wanna upset u further. It wasn't really serious....I promise, if serious, then will let u know ok.

Oh...ya, Koko called to ask if it was ok if he visit Dad on Wed nite, the night before surgery. I had to be the middle person...dad said no need, so late, but he said up to him...I guess that was green light. Koko brought herbal soup....I let them talk when I was sure they won't start another war. Thank God, everything is fine. What a relief.

Dad was discharged on Mon 25th July. Koko fetched him...peace :) Met Jee Kor (Aunt Esther from Australia), showed her my beads...she wants to me teach her how to make...ok, hopefully sometime this week.

As for me...I was back to work, most crucial week of the Quarter, my performance review highly depends on how I did during this period.
Had to miss lunch sometimes, India team member in Penang...gotta squeeze some time to teach him, dinner at Eden Seafood on Wed nite...2 crabs already cost RM 100 ! The bill came to RM 300++. Saw Ah Khim Ee (mom's cousin). She was so happy to see me, she just came back from Australia (vacation). She was surprised to hear about dad and send her regards.

Ok, I am so glad everything bad is over. Quarter end is over. In fact, I had great time last Sat. Watched 'The Island" and then supper at Green house. We proceeded to a nice place, I forgot the name but it's next to Naza Hotel at Batu Ferringhi...by the sea...We ordered a bucket of Carlsberg, about one each...there were six of us (Bruce joined in later). I played with a puppy...stray one I guess...so cute but she has real sharp teeth, ouch !
There u go, not very long after all as I decided to leave out some details.

Son out, Father in (Part 1)

Finally, I am back. And as usual, due to poor memory, I cannot remember much. I will not put date by date, just a summary of what happened last 2 weeks.
Super long post !


18th July...It was like most usual Mondays...work, then eagerly waiting for dancing class which then finished at 7.30pm, back to my cube, continued working while waiting for Meow to pick me up (after his game).

Was busy with my reports when suddenly my hp rang...Sis In Law (SIL) ?
Hmm...weird coz she hardly calls me. At first I thought it must be Koko wanna speak to me coz today he's supposed to be discharged. (yeah, finally I can rest a bit, no need to go hospital, rush here and there).


SIL : Hello...ah Joez
Joez : Hah...Ah Soh...ha mi su (whazzup)?

SIL : Your bro, he had a fight with yr dad.
Joez : Hah ?! How come ?

SIL : They have some misunderstanding.....bla...bla...bla...wanna go back SP.......dad will disown if he doesn't go back home....
Joez : @_@ !!
** Background could hear Koko shouting...not going back forever liao **
** Click !! **

I got very pek cik, I was worried about dad, and also Koko, he just came out, he's not supposed to eat anything but his nutricient milk. I thought everything's gonna be fine when he's out from hospital. He will stay at our home in Sg. Nibong, dad will take care of him....but what's this I just heard?

Helpless and unsure what to do...I dialled for Sako, I told her...I couldn't contain my shock and tears any longer...then we conference in Mako....and I conference in SIL.
SIL couldn't help much as Koko was all fired up and wouldn't listen. I got even more emotional. I used up almost all the tissues I have at my cube.
It was really unbelievable, I thought this sort of situation only happens in drama.

*** fast forward a bit ***

I wasn't sure how dad took it and I know it must be real upsetting for him. He never open up to me...so how ? I sent a SMS to him, 'kesi-kesi' ask if he wants anything for dinner. He replied promptly, "No, TQ". Ok, at least I know he's breathing and conscious.

I quickly finished off whatever left as I foresee I won't be working next day. I was crying non-stop...I know a few colleagues said goodbye when I was still on the phone and crying, I just ignored...I couldn't even waved back, I felt so down and heavy.

Still worried, I SMSed dad to tell him I roughly knew what happened and not to worry about Koko, He will be back from SP next day. He didn't mean what he said.

Alamak ! This time no reply.

Meow pickep me up shortly...I think my tears equivalent to a bottle of big mineral water. Had a quick dinner and tried not to cry anymore as I must not let my dad see. Just a minute before I reach home, dad called me, say he wants to go check-up. He cannot sleep. Oh oh ~~ !!

A little bit of History

While I try to recall of my past (2 weeks liao din blog ok), here's something to share...

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost a child while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat !

Lincoln was shot at the theatre named "Ford."
Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."

Booth andOswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the "kicker":

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe,Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with MarilynMonroe.

Lincoln was shot in a theatre and the assassin ran to a warehouse.

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theatre.

Creepy, huh?
