I KNOW!!!

2010-04-26T11:00:00.003+08:00

What can I say.....*smilling sheepishly* I really fell of the blogging bandwagon.

Dunno why I tot of opening it up today. I was even unsure of my login add & password. But as you can see my memory didn't fail me :-))

Sitting in Starbucks which I've dubbed "My Office" when I'm in KL....I people watch and eavesdrop- sometimes (only if they are too loud to ignore) to pass some of those 'space' you go into when sitting and looking at the computer too long. I've been back in KL for nearly 2months now. I find that wherever I am, whether KK or KL my life just seems to fall back in places. Two different life for me which both I love dearly. No doubt my life in KK are filled with so many families and childhood friends. Activities are aplenty to keep one occupied but KL is where I grew up being independent and strong. My adult and working life you might say. I'm lucky in a way that I can indulge both life whenever I need "it". Two sets of lifestyle, two sets of friends (some I've merged into both life)..... :-)

I'm heading back to KK soon though. Missing everyone back home and also our activities. Also going to start my small business and hoping against all hope that it will be a success!!

There is still hope....

2009-10-15T19:50:00.004+08:00

Hope.

As-in-hope for me to revive this blog of mine :-)

As someone told me,"You haven't blog for quite awhile now. You might just loose your niche in penning down stuff the way you do." (I know I ramble nonsense with bad manglish....hehehe.... that's 1Malaysia for you!)

Yeah, I was kind of malas or un-inspired to write anything. Not that my life is boring but I'm just not focus in that direction anymore. Well.....confession time.....

My name is Georgina - chorus of......Hello...o Georgina.....aaaa

I'm a FB game addict - silence....even a pin drop can be heard

Nolah....hhhh
I'm not that bad but if I/we can get my dad to be FB game addict too.....what does that tell you? My poor dad have been slaving in Cafe World , farming in Farmville and being a criminal in MAFIA WARS!!! Good combination of work I must say ;-D No police would find out about his criminal activities.

Most of the time at the dinner table.....our conversation strays towards just that. What level? what's on the stove? how many points? please send me untraceble cell phone, please trade ingredients with me, I have so-so much money in Mafia wars that I don't even know how to tell you the amount!! And I once called Yonny-
"Hello Yon (didn't wait for reply)....can you send me some firebombs? I need to do some jobs" and he just replied me in-a-matter-of-fact
"Ok, later when I get home" O_O
HE KNEW WHAT I MEANT!!! How glorious is that? We speakAH the same language-OH. And Dad!! How do I tell you.......hmmmm......he once told Jess he can only go out for dinner at 7:30pm cos he needed to wait for his food to be ready in Cafe World! *hands up* So you can guess that if we do go out? He made sure he cooked the right dish-time according to our ETA back home. To give you another example of how serious we take our gaming - I once called him to ask whether he wants me to collect his food off the stove cos I saw his computer was ON. He said he was actually heading back home after sending mom to Queen but if it's ready to help him take it off the stove. So you think that was it? eeeccckkkk!! Wrooooong!! He called me back a minute later and said,"Cook me something that is four hours" -_- I blame Alyssa for this! Culprit!

So going to mom's outlook - one time my mom actually thought we made REAL money from playing farmville or one of those many farm games!!! Cos Jess was boasting "macam real" to me about her richness and how she's gonna buy more land! Nah!! I know it's funny.......but reflection time people. How sad is that?? You wonder as an outsider of Facebook (a.k.a Mom) just how obscenely pathetic we've become. And right at this moment I can hear the bell sound telling me that my 'cheeseburgers' in Cafe World are ready to be serve! So gimme a minute while I jump TAB!

hmmmm.....I cooked another batch of- mind you "BACON" Cheeseburger bah!! That's another 5mins on the stoves......dad would be so proud of me hehehehehe

BUT, all mom said to bring us back to reality (for a while sajalah) was,"If I start sitting in front of the computer like you all..... none of you will get to eat!!!"

So, Dad you better start cooking on the real stove.. :-p

Edited
p/s Moon this post is dedicated to you. Just saw your message in the chatbox!!! Weird lohh.....

Bamboo Shoot Hunting-Lesson 101

2009-06-29T18:17:00.000+08:00

29.06.2009 Monday

Officially 1month+ in KK, I finally had the opportunity to learn how to look for Bamboo shoot a.k.a sokoh from the best! My Ma'Tua........mom's elders sister.....
nama glamour dia Christopherina.....
nick name dia......Miki
hehehe......cantik-cantik nama, dia kena panggil Miki saja.....
hmmmmm....mmm only the Kadazan does it.
Don't even try to learn the logic of it....or try solve it

The reason we went this morning was because KL people placed in their order.... a.k.a SIL and brothers ;-p So I will have to lug the care package back to KL tomorrow......psssttt.....'bosungan' pun minta bah! Like I never requested for it the last time too hehehehe

Anyway, while I was having breakfast with Harry Potter. Mommy dearest walks in and said,
"We're going to Jeannie's place to look for sokoh. You're driving us......put on long pants and long sleeves......"
I was all for it......been curious to have a first hand look of this "Operation Sokoh" or "OP Sokoh" for sometime now. So off we went in my cover-up attire, Giligan hat, handphone (just in case I got lost in the woods) and my camera off cos'. Told ma'tua im going to document it!

Upon reaching there, I was so gung-ho to go in to the woods........but skali hesitated. I have an imagination of a wild horse.......not good at all. So I pura-pura stand at the edge of the wood and started snapping pictures. By the time I took in the 'scenery' while chatting with mom....Ma'Tua was already down the hill and all I can hear was her parang chopping the scrubs to make path so she can walk through. I ermmmed and ummmed....and finally told mom I'm going-in! (macam doktor bah) I treaded with care and just look for clearings that I can walk through.......mind you there wasn't any ready path to follow. By the time I reached the first level down, I looked around and tried to look for Ma'tua and couldn't see any sign of her *worried*......I looked up contemplating to turn back but malu plus it looked more scarier to go up again. And so I continued and nearly got tangled up with those parasites plant criss-crossing along the scrubs and trees.

At one point. A fork path........I stopped and just stood really still. What to do? Which way to take?
I called out for,"Matuaa....aaa"
No answer.......so waited again.
Luckily I caught a glimpse of her head and started walking fast before I lost her and in the process nearly tripped! Fairies and woodland creatures must've been sniggering at me. The thought that passed through my head?
"What if, when I caught up to her and it's not her?"
But I assured myself.......I'm only at the back of my siter's house bah.....and I can even- now and then hear voices of people talking....
Sampai juga lah.......and when I caught up with her....slowly I called out
"Ma'Tua" and she looked up and smiled and said,

"I'm NOT MA'TUA!!! Muahahahahaha"
No lah just kidding ^_^......it was really her and she only found 2 shoots. So she started explaining and I followed from the back. Throwing annoying questions at her ^_^ nolah .....at times she will ask me to stay put if the scrubs are dense and hilly. She said she'll call me if she finds one. But I will still wander nearer to her hehehe....

Overall we did an ok job. Although the sokoh season only starts mid-July to August. So most of our finds are young shoots which my mom prefers. We're going back in when I return from my KL trip....... BTW, I found one of the shoot!! My very first one hehhehehe

These type of Bamboo trees are called "Poing"

Produces whiter and less bitter shoots

See that squiggly branch? It's a parasite branch actually

Tot it looked like snaky......ickk!
The 1st two sokoh....young and small

How to identify it...

This is still young but can be harvested if desperate ;-p

This one had two shoots!Sokoh hunting attire! ^_^

While waiting.......I wondered.....

Cara mencari........you gotta go to the roots

Fairies home ^_-

Biggest catch of the day!!

and we kept on finding more.......

Our total 'catch!'

How to clean it.....

The outter side of sokoh is covered with hair like thingy
That layers should come off

When mom is with elder sister....she doesn't do anything ^_^......manja

but she swept my sis house while waiting for us to emerge out from the wood

See how white and clean it is?

Clean and ready to be cut in thin layers

And that is how it's done!!!

I want to learn medicinal herbs next....but I think it's her secret skill not ready to be passed on ;-p

26.06.2009 - Jinx Friday?

2009-06-28T20:28:00.008+08:00

Probably is, cos Friday 26th June 2009 is the worst Friday I've ever encountered so far (that I can remember that is....) and *touchwood* to that! Cos it should NOT get any worst that this!

Woke up to lines of smses on my phone sent at 6:30am onwards...... (woke up at around 7am)

1st one I read went
and aunty Farah Fawcett 2!
my thoughts - Expected. Knew she was suffering from cancer....so am prepared for her passing but what does the 2 mean....

scrolled down somemore to the earlier ones.....

Uncle Michael Jackson died!!
my thoughts - (numbed) and started replying.....Babe!! Really!!? How?
was lost for a while and that heavy sadness in my heart weighted in...... sudden unexpected death has that effect! Not for a hundred million years did I expect him to just drop and die. What happened to his - "going to leave for 150years by sleeping in that oxygen tank?!"

scrolled down some more and read an immature trash back sms....
my thoughts - Too bad.....life sucks!! so lets just get on with it......replied.....Ok & thank you..
was only later I felt more sad-der..... only a little more, cos' not only did MJ's news over-shadowed FF's death but also the problem I had.

So 'Friday' was clouded by a sad sad feeling.....and kinda lost......mostly caused by MJ. Mom was stucked on CNN nearly the whole day and I kept myself updated on the net while doing some work. Like millions of others, I grew up with MJ's songs, music videos and grammy awards after grammy awards that I tape (80's way of immortalizing) using VIDEO CASSETTES!! Even did a show in school copying his dance moves.....we like the crotch grabbing ones the most next to the moonwalk of cos ;-)

Anyhow, that Friday was also the day we had to attend a French Movie showing at 1Borneo - made us forget the sadness for a while. But after the show we headed to Bluenote, and surprise! surprise! they were having a "Tribute to MJ" nite...... and with all the singing and reminiscent we were doing that night? .........it. still. has. NOT. sunked. in........that he is really gone....gone!

And as another precious life is lost?
.......what's the worst to happen compared to that???

Nothing that I can't swallow I guess.
and so, swallow I shall!
........that 'other' news I received on that same fateful morning.

And so to have this piece of history in my blog.....
I love you MJ and will always do........
Glad I have his KL concert memory to hold on to. That's the closes I got to him :-)

Will be sadly missed!!

RIP MJ "My King of entertainment" Love this one....awesome dance moves!!

xoxo

Coming into shape

2009-06-10T09:20:00.006+08:00

Still rough around the edges but it finally came into shape with the help of my family. If not for them I'll still be half way on the staircase dragging my stuff up. High probability? I would have passed-out and never to be awaken again :-)

I thought of blogging my move according to my moving process but I'm still bogged down with lots of stuff = mind still messy; and that my mom is restless looking at the mess around the house caused by my stuff :-/ But I will slowly blog it here.......

Anyway, for the brothers, SILs and close KL friends.......here is my new tiny crib ;-) can do lah......cosy enough!

My precious bed

My "mengalamun" corner
Movie corner

Part of my closet (open concept for room)
And the closed one is just out side my door

Excuse the mess.......still working on it ;-)

Still lots of boxes to go through....... ;-(

A step back into my world

2009-06-01T23:34:00.001+08:00

Excuse the pun.
Cos' getting back into my norm life is actually what I meant.
But we know that would not be possible.
Maybe half of my norm.....plus new ones!
Of course.....

It's been a hard month long for me.
Still is but transition always is.
Now that I'm finally back in KK!
Read!
I'm in KK!!
I've been trying to guide my footing to the right (i think lah) track.
Must say.........
Some days are good and some days are just a tad bit depressing.
Anxiety and panic attacks.....
feeling lost.....
(and I've only been here for a total of 9days! I know....lame me)
Maybe because at the back of my "In denial" mind.....
I know that I'm not back for just-a-holiday......
But back home....
For an unknown time.....
Not in my "OWN" house.....
But it will be in my heart eventually.

I guess it will get better when my stuff arrive and I'm among them again.
And I WILL get my NEW life some breath of fresh air!!!
I promise to stay positive and keep myself occupied....
Spend time with my parents.....
and not get in their way when I'm not needed.....^_^
Appear and dissapear at the right time is what it's all about....

Anyway, I will start updating more once my life gets ironed out.
Anxieties must first be tamed down........
and I can focus properly again....

but surely we all know.......

that........

Time is what I need the most..........

and to be fair,

also time for my parents to get use to having me around......

Hi....My name is......and I'm a......

2009-03-26T23:13:00.003+08:00

Enjoyed it so so much! ^_^

God created. And so we shall except.

We came with an in-built chip.
But it leaves us enough freedom to decide....
Yes or No?

Right or Left?

Up or Down?

Right or wrong?

Yeah, you get it.

But when it comes to shopping?

I REST MY CASE....^_^

I'm still recovering.

But what I enjoy the most about "Confessions Of A Shopacholic" is how really familiar her actions and situations are. Years back when the book came out, I actually picked it up in Singapore's Airport on my way back to KL. I started reading it and almost threw it away.

Cos I was scared.

I was in denial.

But I braved myself.

And continued.

I loved it and told myself

"No....atleast I can control myself...I'm not that bad"

^_^

And so I passed the book to Ock who was staying with me then.

We got hooked....

and continued reading about Becky til she got her first child....

What I can relate from her story is that....

We all have a "Becky" in us.

It's just how good we are in controlling "her"

So go!.....go watch the movie and enjoy it.

It's a movie for female bonding.

Cos' only you and your sisters or BFFs understands each other.

(but Eiji and Simon enjoyed it too cos they can relate to it hehehehe)

I still have tingles in my heart ^_^

Love love love the movie.....

and I hope you do too!

Old Kids of the New Block!

2009-03-26T14:25:00.012+08:00

Taipan as in USJ 10 just across the street from my home has a new addition that we can look forward to. This particular block is like nearly 2+ years old (same time as True Fitness Block) but the shops that opened here are all just about in their babies year . Plus they open and close very fast. Guess some business just can't survive long ...... exception to Old Town Cafe and Affin Bank that occupies both end of the block and not forgetting the Korean Daemon BBQ restaurant occupying the massive top and roof floor of this building.

As congested as Taipan maybe, it's surprising how they can still find space to build two office block at 2 entry point to these area.

Anyway, this morning me and Eiji decided to go and have a try of "Lorong Seratus Tahun" which serve Penang cuisine. I'll get back to you on the connection to the title later.....^_^ Well, good news is.....their pricing are very reasonable than most cafes. Ranging from RM2.50 for breakfast package of roti kahwin and eggs to RM5.80-RM6.50 for curry mee, prawn mee, char kuey teow and to RM8.50 for nasi lemak, nasi goreng, marmite chicken rice and so on. They also have a few simple western dish and vast choices of drinks. Somehow concepts are more or less like OTC but mainly similar to Paparich.

With that kind of pricing?

Don't expect alot lah kan......one thing for sure? It comes in small potion which is good for the ladies and bad news for the guys ;-p...... the asam laksa broth is not as thick as Little Penang (Susan's take on her fav dish) and the Char Kuey Teow has more Taugeh than kuey teow.....sorry Wabbit. By the time I take off all the taugeh for you......you'll probably have 3 mouth full of it hehehehe....But for sure? It was sedap!! Another sedap thing?? The white coffee.....yummy bah! The prawn mee wasn't bad either..... So mom, dad, Jeannie and Wallace.......I'll bring you guys over when you come in April.

LST -Another Penang food nearer than Penang itself hehehe My yummy frothing white coffeeMy Char Kuey Teow....seriously sikit....should be served in a smaller plate so that it'll look more

Eiji's prawn mee.... boleh tahan the soup after all the bits had been eaten and leaves the soup holding all the flavours

Okay, another newbies is this striking yellow pizza shop. Just next to LST. The electrician was still doing final touches to his work when we parked infront of the shop. Althought the place still look slightly unfinished on the outside but it was open for business. I think a lot of people are gonna mistakingly take this place as a cab company's office.......YELLOW CAB is more present in their board than the pizza.........unless you are walking pass it and you see the insides of this shoplah. Will try and tell you guys if this is any good compared to Dominoes. Now we have more pizza deliveries to choose from (pssst....I still favour Dominoes ;-p)......Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Canadian Pizza and NOW Yellow Cab! Whatever will they come up with next...

Striking yellow!

Not a Yellow Cab but a Yellow Vespa!!! How cute is that?! So your pizza delivery comes and you can hire them to send you somewhere...like a cab/taxi. Tapi mana mau duduk ahhh? hehehehe

Coming back to the title - as we were seating outside LST, I suddenly realize how this shop row holds new cafes with OLD name......The pic below is a restaurant next to LST but next to it is Old Town Cafe.....you can catch their signature wallpaper.

So six shops in this row and you get 3 representing oldy name:- Lorong Seratus Tahun, Old Town Cafe and Yellow Cab - which to our knowledge must've been NY oldest cab company not....

Another shop here that represents 'old' is Eu Yan Sang.....doing medicinal herbs and other natures health products . This one is even more ancient just read their intro - "Eu Yan Sang takes THOUSANDS of years of wisdom and knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and combines it with the precision of western science"

I guess you get what I mean. I just wished they've had build this row more like the Heritage Row in KL to depict their era hehehe...... it would've been awesome to have that feel....with your cuppa....

D'Fortune is just on the next to LST and next to it is Old Town Cafe

Penyakit Malas

2009-03-19T12:37:00.022+08:00

So so stuck.
My head. And Nose.
Having the flu again.
And so the nose is hurting from too much wiping ;-(
Been piling in 1000mg Vit C and Clarinase or Zyrtec-D (interval)
I'm drugged! almost......hehehehe
So I'm going out for that friday night drinks to add the high.
Not!.....getting high I mean.
Just to join the guys @ the usual place ......The Curve.....nearest and safest drive home.
or Maybe NOT! lah......
I'm fickle today

So lets just jump into some pics and stories of our activities during the week.

ONE
Remember the last long weekend we had with the Monday holiday? Prophet Mohamad's Birthday was it? Well, that Saturday Terry and Alice had BBQ nite. As usual TerryB prepared those infamous meat dishes of his using his ultra humongous high tech BBQ set. No pics with me......it's in Moon's cam. Anyway, us girls played Ginrami into the night till the husbands made those ahemm sounds, gave the evil look? and somewhere in there snores are heard ;-p

Anyway, someone didn't get enough dose of Gin during the 'Q' night. That she invited us over to her place the following Monday promising us delicious Philipino lunch (the carrot dangled infront of the horse) and of cos' followed by a long game of Gin hehehe......it was fun......atleast we're not GA as in Gambler Anonymous ;-p So no worries here. Husbands and BF was to be tagged self sufficient for the day! Of course Theresa had no worries as the Hubby was out of the Country. A plus for her.....and we got to enjoy her beautiful home and good hospitality. Who ever played Gin while munching popcorn? Us...... Thanks Theresa for a wonderful Monday. We should do it again.....and again.....and again? ;-D

The 3 Philipino dishes we had that day....sedap bah!

I was fascinated by these terung covered by telur and mince meat? Tot it look like turtles ;-p

And of cos Hank was there to accompany us.....our only male companion for the day.

He was busy thieving our slippers away, wetting it with his saliva and putting it back by our feet..... yes....eeewwww.....Hanky Panky

Hank sticks his head between the fence waiting for neighbour dog

So cute kan..... and he stays like this for the longest til we disturb him

TWO

So last Saturday, had to hang out with the brothers for the Liverpool v ManU game at Asia Cafe. I was there for the food ;-) It was a funny scene. The two brothers are Liverpool fans and Rick and Eij are ManU fan. So visualize this.....place was abuzzing with ManU fan, all in Red and making those rah-rah, hoot hoot cheers.........booooo-ing when the Liverpool team are shown on screen. And big cheering when the Reds came on. Remember. There was not a peep of boo-ing heard for ManU team.

The two brothers said......"lets not make a scene and just keep our trap shut." Obviously, ManU fan out numbered Liverpool fan (so we thought!!!) -if there were any besides these two... plus me lah hehehe.....I'm faithful to my bro. So we played it cool, they drank their beers and I ate the 'ikan bakar'........

ManU scored first and of cos' it caused a big celebration from the ManU fans...

The two just smiled.

As the clock ticked.....

Torres SCORED!!! (edit...oopps salah 'T')

And we all jumped and whooped!!! (auto reaction)

BIG TIME!!

The surprise?

There were even more Liverpool fan coming out from their hiding

Cheering and celebrating!!!

We were laughing hahahaha.....

cos we really thot there were non Liverpool fan around 'cept us

So anyway, we continued to celebrate after that.

Yes....we WON!!!

Poor Rick and Eiji hehehehee NOT!

And I was a football fan for that night (only)......

It was a good game! Atleast it was filled with action.

Our big screen....small drizzles didn't deter us

Liverpool fans celebrating the Fourth goal!!!
Happy lorrrr!!!

Boy: "Phoooaaarrrr" (trying Giddy's signature but failed)

Giddy: "You're not COOL!!" -_-

THREE

Sunday.....attended my ex-colleague son's wedding in Pandan Indah......so yellow mellow hoh... Came for the nasi minyak actually ;-p........ it's been a long long time.....

Bride and Groom

With Dato' & Datin R and The groom's parents

FOUR

Last Tuesday, had lunch with Susan and Moon @ Alexis Jalan Telawi, Bangsar. Besides the good food, sitting down there you get to watch a lot of action.

Firstly, we got annoyed by someone who doubled park and didn't have the decency to check on her car. The lorry guy she blocked was honking and honking for so......ooooo long (like half an hour or more okay) that we got irritated.......by the 'double park' woman NOT the lorry driver.....cos she caused him to honk!!! We tried giving her the evil look when she FINALLY came out JUST from the restaurant across the road! No rush....just jay walking like she's not causing anyone a heartache. Really!! and worst thing was she was seating fronting the road......DENSE? YES!!! Please lah for the love of Tuhan......have some otak up there. The worst thing was she didn't even have the decency to say sorry to the lorry guy. She just walked over and went into her 'Wowwo'......have good car but no manners man.....woman I mean....^_^

Well after all the honking scene, we conjured up on what we hoped will happen to the 'Wowwo Lady'. Til' something caught our attention and made us turn to the shop up across the road. From The Nail & Spa shop, some film crew was walking out to the street. It's normal to see film crews in Bangsar. But we were hoping to see famous face. No.......nadah......was spotted (not that we know many lah). So we went back to our small gossips.

Well that was until we heard a motorbike being raved up and people chasing them down the road towards us. You must understand Telawi road are small. So everything is near. There were two guys on the bike finely dress in nice shirts and the 'pembonceng' had a gold necklace in his hand. Yes, he yanked it off from one of the film crew's neck......a BIG size Indian man. Nasib lah they got away or we will be looking at a violent, blood splattering scene! And I will go and help them pulp those skinny guys to the ground!!! Yes....I have a violent streak in me waiting to be unleash. Especially on snatch thieves. It's from watching all those "movies" that are supposedly bad for us hehehehe.....love ass-kicking Angelina Jolie movie.

Us after the honking scene or was is while it was honking? ;-p

Stopped over @ Susan's to play with the kids

Whipping Willow tree.....Susan just found out what it was! ^_^

Venezia and Clarise so so comel loteh!

So okay, that's the update.

Today had lunch with the other March babies....

We enjoyed lunch.....catching up and blew a birthday cake again!

So now I'm off to get ready for a date with Eiji...

Later babes!!!

Cos it's my day....

Tea & Crumpets love?

2009-03-04T17:07:00.017+08:00

Tuesday was meet-me-for Tea with Ms. Moon.
We had it at this lovely shop called The Teapot Shop in SS2 PJ.
So step into this English Tea shop with it's quaint setting for tete-a-tete with a friend

Their Door handle. How cute is that? Not so bite size
No crumpets here.....just scones and choc cake

My Almost English lady...

It's not your finest china but it's dainty & cute enuf some of the wall decor'

They also serve local and western dish for lunch

Not so english.......;-p

Well as the sky was getting fierce by the minute, we decided to head back to Sunway and make a stop at my friend's Chinese Tea Shop!! I know......we did the two west and east thing.

Anyway because Ms. Moon is cozy-ing up to the chinese tea thingy, I thought I'll bring her over to see the stuff they have over there. We ended bottoms-upping our chinese tea til 9pm! That's 4hours of chinese tea drinking........we cleanse our colon alright!

Just love being in this shop....serene with the smell of old things and tea leaves

They filled up the shops with stuff they found all over China

With some of my old colleagues

Make-over getaway

2009-03-04T15:19:00.008+08:00

Jess had a hair make-over while she was here 2 weeks back. I brought her to see Connie my hairdresser of 7years. Yes, the one that gave me all kind of hairstyle throughout those years.

Anyway.....she had a major thing done for a one day visit.
A body perm - to add volume to her flat hair
Colour - furfle
and a cute cut

Me and Ruth just gave ourselves hair treatment from the sun we had in Bali
and a trim trim
.......so imagine the wait!
We were practically slouched all the way down on the couch -_-

(Just pictures! Enjoy)

Breakfast area

Our morning guest....having marble cake

Looking down from our brekkie high.....that's the Papa's cafe on the right hand

Sufer dudes & dudettes crossing to Kuta beach to catch the early morning waves

One of the more private villa......they have their own tiny pool

We pass this area for breakfast, for our outing and back to the pool and our room

The Garden pool which is nearer to our room and where we hanged out for 2 sunny days just sunning and sipping our drinks Just a few plants that is found around Alam Kul Kul

Tot these looks like some beautiful fairies huh.....

On the hedge infront of our crib

so sad it was not ripe yet

Yeah.....now you're talking banana!! ;-p

Sunset at the Kuta Beach from the Veranda Bar

From the beginning

2009-02-26T23:55:00.000+08:00

Okay, I better just roll with it while I still have the "passion" to blog.
You know how the mood swings are for a blogger.......
"sometime hap! sometime don't hap!"

Yeah.....cos when the drought comes around? It'll be a really long dry spell. Period.

Let me trace back to the beginning of our trip. We flew off from KL on the 5pm flight and reached Bali airport around 8pm. So by the time we passed through Immigration, located our bags, passed through custom checks, found our driver and reached the hotel......it's was nearly 10pm.

We registered, followed the porter through the maze path to our room, admired our holiday crib and stepped out again for a late din-din.......and only then we breath.......... *phew*

In our Van to the hotel

So glad we had someone to pick us up......saves the hassle of choosing a trust-able cab driver plus we were tired especially Ruth who flew in from KK @ 9am and waited the whole day at LCCT
Ms. Ruthie checking-in

They had a reading/ library room

One of the waiting area

Walking into our crib

Our beds- turned down for the night

Alam Kul Kul's trademark flower- The Frangipani

A good size bathroom and very clean.....I like

What one may need

a big spotty clean bathtub

Their own fragrant bath gel, shampoo and conditioner......very overwhelming smell

Frangipani everywhere

Continuation to our nite is the Valentine dinner post.....

So I bid you good night for now.....zzzzzzzzz

Bali Flower Watch

2009-02-26T14:56:00.008+08:00

In Alam Kul Kul they have this water feature or more like just a big plain round plant pot in the middle of the lounging area that they fill with flower designs. Every morning the previous day's flowers are taken out and the pot are prepared for a new day.

So Ruth and I does a flower watch every morning as we pass through this area on our way up for breakfast. But the pot will only be cleaned out and fresh water added-in waiting for new flowers of the day when we pass it in the morning. So we never saw the person who does the art work ;-(

Flowers are taken from their own plants scattered around the place........and so many banana trees.......that's another story though.... So these was what we sighted during our stay there...

14th Feb

Can someone have these done at my home everyday? Beautiful way to start ones day!

Bali Valentine

2009-02-26T13:22:00.011+08:00

We left for Bali on a Valentine's Day. And reached in time to join-in with the Balinese and other tourist in celebrating what's left of the day. We saw lots of candle litted at Kuta Beach as we were passing by and fireworks was just lighting up the sky! Upon checking-in we headed for the In-house Italian Restaurant located at the beachfront of the hotel. There weren't many diners left as it was already 10pm, so it was easy to get a table. AND we weren't the only lady-to-lady doing the Valentine's dinner......hehehe....

It's called.........

We ordered....Pesce Alla Parmigiana & Pizza
Our welcoming surprise....a heart shape pink chochy and pink rose

Tired face from long airport wait and flight. We didn't even think of freshening up before we went out for dinner......lapar kan....

As served by every Italian restaurant.....bread while waiting for our dinner

Ms. Ruth trying my Mojito......tasted more like lime drink if you ask me. Laundry bar still wins hands down!

1st thing we noticed-presentation is painstakingly important in Alam Kul Kul

The delish Barramundi fillet.....was really fresh and deliciously prepared

Our mushroom chicken pizza. We went against ordering one with a big dome on top of it! It looked ready to POP!! Cos we were eyeing a table having one.......

Couldn't go on........hahaha......no men to save us! Too Kenyang!!
Most expensive Valentine dinner ever.....

NOT!
Bali doesn't commercialize Valentine day like M'sia do.....TG!! No package or price hike for the day...

That's our Valentine Day 2009! And a start of a good holiday!

(I had an earlier one with Eiji......so don't say I'm heartless ^_-)

Oh Yeah.....

2009-02-20T10:57:00.002+08:00

T'was a relaxing holiday - just sunning, lazing by the pool, with great food and yummy juices. The great services from Alam Kul Kul's staff and management didn't hurt either. They deserve a good round of applause......*clap*clap*clap*

More to come....... ^_^

So Sad! But Recovered....

2009-02-11T01:37:00.005+08:00

So okay......it's a known news that Rihanna's concert has been "postpone(?)" or "cancelled(?)"
people.com reports:-
"In the meantime, both stars have canceled upcoming appearances: The NBA has issued a statement that Brown will no longer participate in their All-Star Game events in Phoenix this weekend, while Rihanna backed out of a Friday night concert in Malaysia"
Whatever happens -I hope the new date for the concert will be informed a.s.a.p! or $$ will be refunded fast
So that leaves my Friday night open
Guess early V day hangin' out is in order then.....

Still. I have my Bali trip to look forward to this coming Saturday!
Just don't let anything ruin it for us.
Man or mother nature.
I need some down time from my "penganggur" status
^_-
Rest my body and mind hehehe.....

p/s Hope you recover from your unfortunate 'ordeal' Rihanna. Cos we need to go see you for some booty shakin'! Chop! Chop! now.....get back on the happy wagon and head over here for some lovin' from your Malaysian fans! And don't waste your time on a man who beats up a lady! We say...."OFF with his HEAD!!"
people.com reports:-
"Chris knocked her around," says a source close to the couple. "Black eye, blood, bruises. She had to be treated by a doctor."
and we say BOOooooooo!!! Chris 'Coklat'!

Old Skool!

2009-02-06T23:33:00.006+08:00

We may have come from the old skool era.......but it was the best era ever! Whose to say we're old hehehe....cos after meeting all my classmates during our 21st Reunion last month.......I tell you, it was just like we've never been apart! The naughty-ness and mischievous-ness was clearly very much present after all these years! I guess being together brought it out from us again ^_^

We really had a fun and memorable night being just us, "The 21 years and more ago" US.

At 14 years old - Jamboree in Brunei

24 years later during our 21st Reunion last January.... Form 3 - Remain as the best year of my life in High School
Years later, we stayed true to who we were......BFFs ;-p

My 'Biggest Michael Jackson Fan' kawan....Noy

I know but I must

2009-02-06T13:03:00.006+08:00

Share these with Ms. Wabbit & Jess.

You're coming soon so just to remind you lets go have these okay......and some.....more ;-D

Nasi padang at Pavillion really hit your taste bud and satisfy that empty spot in your tummy. At times we make our way over to Pavillion just for this. Surprising but yes....I don't even shop. I just need my dose of Nasi Padang. But you know, I really think it's the sambal belachan that's the "magic" in this plate! I'm a sucker for great sambals and chillies......can't enjoy my food without em'.

So okay, few days ago.......I asked Eiji for a dinner date. Yes, we text each other for dates hehehe..... (cos' I'm jobless and don't have anything better to do but disturb him while he is working) and he graciously accepted. My MMS of angel with flapping wings bearing a big red heart must've worked it's magic........kekekeke.....cheesie leh

Anyway, we were suppose to go get my birthday present in Bangsar but I wasn't in the mood of buying (?) *strange things are happening to me that I can't explain* Alien has taken over my body and mind ;-p righ............t.......hick!

So we ended up in The Garden and decided to head over to Alexis for some of those delicious cakes. As Eiji needed 'real' food he ordered his pasta Penne Carbonara and it was really sadappppp!!! Seriously. And they had giant Tabasco sauce to go with it! Ended up sharing it with him. Ya, from not hungry to being really hungry O_O

And this!! The god of all Tiramisu!! (my opinion lah okay......taste was all there and it comes together deliciously in your mouth!) But you know how cakes work right?......you can go as far as the middle before your bud tells you, you've had enough.......so sharing is good......that's because.......
I just had to try another different cake! .....I voted for Strawberry Chocolate Meringue just becos' many had told me about 'her'. And I have a thing for fresh fruit with layers of fresh creams. Very-the-yummmy........ so Jess and Wabbit......sedia 'the perut' for some of these beautiful sinful food! We'll walk it off........ And Moon, you know you are always welcome to join the fun. Just don't start your 'cleaning' frenzy and you won't mind stepping out with us okay! Put your "Monica Geller" under wrap for awhile ;-p

Soon!!! After our babi guling, sun and sea stint hehehe........

Our Oxpicious '09

2009-02-05T10:20:00.013+08:00

Was ushered in with good vibes this year. Reunion dinner with Eiji's family went well......a bit of awkwardness but then thats expected hoh and him having sweet parents helped a lot. The joy I tell you. Anyway, we stayed overnight at his place as we went over to his Aunt's house after the reunion dinner and also his mom has this ritual of preparing vegetarian dishes on the 1st Day of CNY. Oh! We lou sang before we started dinner.......I always lou sang-ed with friends at restaurants during the 15days of CNY. Atleast this time I get to lou Sang on the eve.....good start kan.....^_-

A day before the eve of CNY we lepak-ed @ The Curve

taking in the holiday atmosphere

A Chinese Temple near to Eiji's place. We took a stroll after dinner just to check it out

The well decorated temple....semua so merah.....hh ;-p 1st day of CNY.....a 'halo' welcoming the day

On our way to another gathering

2nd day of CNY we visited Susan's house.

Venezia having an early birthday while all the family is around

We also had a really good game of blackjack! one word....LOUD!

Yonny came over for our dinner date and also to give me angpau hehehehe

hahaha.......yes last Saturday we decided to drive up to Genting after an open house just to try our luck in the casino. The place was packed! We arrived near midnight and drove back home around 4a.m.....in a very THICK FOG. Vision was so bad that at some part you can't hardly see 5meter in front of you. But we managed......Giddy was sleeping peacefully all the way down......hmmmm.... and by the time Eiji drove into our parking space I told him,"let's just sleep in the car....." and we did till the sun came out.

Muka kalah judi hehehehe

New York? ^_^ He won some and paid for supper

I lost! but not giving up yet! CNY not over.....

Woohoooooo

2009-01-30T22:33:00.008+08:00

We're going for Rihanna's concert in 2 weeks time. I haven't been going to any concert for sometime now cos' of malas-ness (I hate going through crowds.....it's a sign. again!) and also was not interested with the ones that came here 'cept for Gwen Stefani. But I missed her concert because I was out of town at that time....;-( plus so many red tape was put on her. For some stoopid reasons that we can vomit on....too sinsitip to discuss here...shhhh....

Anyway, it's gonna be fun as Moon & Simon agreed to go!! So it's going to be the four of us shaking our heads to Disturbia! love love that song.....it literally played in my head for the longest and I once caught little Bryan doing the "dum dum di dumdum di dumdum" during the year end hols hehehehe..... so cute! For that I. AM. going to bulldoze through the war zone to get to her concert.

We're still waiting for another person to agree. She gave me a lame excuse of not knowing who RIHANNA is! I even said Umbrella.....Chris Brown.....and she still can't place a face in her mind. So, as she is a crazy bag lady....I said,"She's the ambassador for Gucci's UNICEF collection!" And she went and describe Mary J Blige to me. Lost case man. Guess you will know her once you've visited this blog dear or google her lah! hahaha That's her below okay? ^_^

We'll be going WILD in the RED zone!
Booked the ticket online but they notified that it will take them 3days to process & confirm our purchase! Better not dissapoint me Axcess

Blue zone is under Corporate sale - Charity drive means 'expensive' I guess ;-(
So till then....gonna think of a Rihanna's getup to wear to the concert & get my lyrics right to all her songs hehehe

You don't say....

2009-01-27T00:37:00.010+08:00

Pig

It’s an average year. You have a lucky star and several unlucky stars. You’re under the influence of the unlucky stars in the first half of the year. You may get off to a slow start, but the later part of the year will present better opportunities. (I'm feeling it's true....I am enjoying my new found life right now. So it explains the procastinating period I'm going through. Sure it's better for the second part of the year cos! by then I may be needing money ;-(....desperation is a good motivator)

Career: You’re likely to get promoted. If you have your own business, chances are you could see an increase in sales or a decrease in debts. It’s not good to make speculative investments in the first half of the year. Do not gamble or buy lottery tickets. You must give up the habit of pursuing a luxurious lifestyle. (Now they tell me!!! So no more luxurious lifestyle for me till these period are over.....you hear me my conscience! That include Y.O.U - Moon & Wabbit!! One thing I won't give up though is buying my Jack-Pot ticket and that's like once or twice in a month only!! How else am I gonna get some fast moolah?)

Love life: When it comes to love, you’ve the best luck among the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. Watch your step so you won’t be caught in the love trap. (Not a chance?)

The married Pig will enjoy a wonderful family life this year. The Pig in love will take his/her relationship to the next level. The single Pig has great opportunities to meet Mr/Miss Right. (Yeah....Eiji just ask me over dinner,"So you want your parents to meet my parents when they come over in April?" Me - *Gave him a shock look* and went,"FOR WHAT??!" practically gave him my best Lorna Matthews impression-reaction and he went,"No lah just testing you?" Kesian....I should have shocked him back and reply the unexpected kan hehehe...)

Love life: The married Dog will find unconditional love within the family. The Dog in love may bring his/her relationship to a new level. The single Dog may find a new romantic interest. (*roll eyes*)

Health: If you push yourself too hard in your money-making ventures, it could affect your health. You could fall sick or have an accident, especially if you’re involved in manual labour. (If I don't work I don't generate income.....but if I do.....I'll get sick???? So what choice do I have actually? Beg?....It's not manual labour to just sit and wait for people to drop coins into my bowl right?)

Take note: Get enough sleep. (You all read this okay!! I must get enough sleep!! So don't complain when you find me in horizontol position most of the time.....hee hee.....)

p/s If we really take this relationship into the next level.......it's for the both of us to know and you to find out hahahaha........I still want to collect angpow bah!!! and be the anak bulan to my parents....but if Dad, you have the urge to walk me down the aisle...? ermmm.......just don't have that urge yet okay.... ;-)

OX Domination!

2009-01-25T12:05:00.012+08:00

The rat will be scuttling off as the Ox charges-in in a few hours time. Hoping it will bring a bullish year instead of the depression we are facing to a worst level. Let the strong Ox hold it's ground and keep us all on top.

So let us keep our positiveness and continue to prosper. Here's wishing all of you...

GONG XI FA CHAI!!

Pavillion giving out good vibes!

My 1st lion dance this year

One week ago just in front of Pavillion's entrance

We took the opportunity to hold the Bull's face for good luck

'Click to enlarge'

Standing Majestic! Giving us hope....

Ok.....we're off for reunion dinner soon. I'll be joining Eiji and his family for the first time. Cross your fingers for me or else I will have to go and get a Golden Prosperity Pizza or KFC(?) to win their hearts hehehe......Seems to work in the advertisement hahahahahaha... No lah, I bought some redwine that will do the trick *wink* and we're stopping to get cakes on the way over later. Don't worry mom & dad, you brought me up well :-p ......I will behave like a proper lady that I am *hick!* ^_-

p/s OK guys, just a gentle reminder. Don't forget to put on a new santut for the new year k. It's the first right move to usher the new year.....chinese that is! ;-)

p/p/s BTW, it's also our late brother's year.....he would have been 36years old this year. My love and prayers for him. May he protect and look upon us always......Godfrey Gary Jinu, we love you!!

Vintage Shopping

2009-01-23T23:23:00.008+08:00

We were suppose to go check-out some stuff for our business in Bangsar yesterday. But we both ended up with carry bags filled with our treasure finds. No. Not for our business but for our own personal collections...-_-

So we failed. But the good news is we went back with fresh new knowledge from our talk with the shop owner. Luxury Vintage opened a whole new world of shopping in KL. It's a chance for us mere mortals to own those crazy couture/ collection pieces (If! you're lucky it hasn't already been grabbed) at a cheaper price. You know how the rich wear their couture or collection pieces once and vowed never to be seen in it twice? Well, this is the place for you to go and see if something catches your eyes. They have all the luxury goods from bags, shoes to clothings. Some brand new and some may be gently worn once or twice. I must say it's not cheap but affordable, what with the brand name of Hermes, Bottega, Chanel, Gucci, LV, Roberto Cavalli and many more. With patient and diligent of going through their stuff you might unearth just that thing you're looking for or WANT! hee hee.....Yes at the right price too.

Before heading to our destination, we headed down to Telawi to have our lunch first as I was just very hungry. That faint may just come around. So Moon was good enough to agree with me. That's where our attention and focus started to falter, as we walked along BV II towards Madam Kwan. We were both talking about something I can't remember at the same time eyeing the window display, heads turning to absorb everything at a glance and dropping comments on our interest of the things we see in between our conversation but continues on like it's our second nature. It's funny when you suddenly realize that you're both doing the same exact thing naturally. It's like we were in sync without trying......at all. Okay I'm grappling here. But anyway we managed to be poorer after we left Warehouse but I must say a very good buy.

And so from there, we focused back to our original agenda...........

From Luxury Vintage a Narciso Dress!!! So well cut! I'm blessed!

Need a bit of tucking in to fit me better though

The bodice details
Simple yet elegant with it's fine cutting

My second is this nice CK dress....apple green with classic style

Ohh.......I also bought this Yellow Baby with my extra change...In my dream.....hehehehe It's my penthouse neighbour's ride
So that's it.....we hope to bring the business to life soon. And US focused!! Will keep you all updated!!

GONG XI FA CHAI everyone

1st day of School & Japanese

2009-01-21T21:27:00.006+08:00

Matt has moved up to the big boys school this year. Secondary. Form 1. Green short pants. You know, the whole new phase for him. And he has to go back to afternoon class.

So he gets dropped off early morning to mom's place and wait it out til his school van comes over to fetch him. He is such a joy to have around when the others are in school. Yes, it's lonely not having the kids over at mom's. Cos probably I only have my luggage to rummage in everyday. And that gets boring......I even read everything on the internet just to fill up my morning. There was that one day I watched Gossip Girls Season 2 from episode 1 til 10 in one seating. I had a sore backside after that. Thanks to my dad who kept telling me he downloaded a lot of movies and I should go and watch it. Gone were the days when the parents tells you off for lazing around doing absolutely nothing! Nothing useful I mean......like belajar.....do your homework......bla bla bla.....all those lectures we get during our teens that we try to avoid when they are around the house hehehhehehe I'm still trying to get use to the idea that they got off my back along time ago. Cos I still get nervous for coming home late. Weird but I haven't moved on like the parents has ;-p .......I need a therapist I think......hehehehe

Matt's 1st day as a Form 1 Student

After the 1st week of school was over.....we treated the kids out for some Japanese food. Yes of cos we drag the parents along.

Matt redeeming his x'mas voucher and Ally early birthday dinner plus her invited guest. Her cousins ;-)
It was a lovely night and we stopped by the dessert shop before heading home.

We Are One

2009-01-20T21:42:00.006+08:00

Sitting through Obama's Inaugural for the whole 3 hours of it.......feeling like an American for just that moment. Yes. I sang Bye...Bye....miss American pie and This land is your land, this land is my land...... with such spirit. And on top of my voice. Aaaaaahummmp.....got carried away cos Eiji was concentrating on his PSP game.....bleargg....yes, he deserve an eye rolling action for that.

Yeah....I know, I'm like bored right?

Nah....really. I just love myself some Obama you know.

We really need the change American is getting.

Plus Mr. President has himself some mean 6packs!

For real!!......and you and I ask "what do we get?"

hmmmm......don't even get me started on our balding, sluggish, un-energized looking.....mumble, mumble, mumble.......

So not inspiring hoh!

Anyway, I spent the whole day with my two monkeys at home. They were either chasing each other or irritating me by following my heel wherever I go inside the house. Yes I have 2 shadows. Cat normally don't follow their master around but because dumb dumb Jinggles do......so Moby.....copied! Geddit!! hehehe Copy Cat!!! Actually they just want to out do one another. They are both down and out now.....must be tired from all those play time they had! Normally Moby is a night prowler. Instead he is cozily tucked in Jinggles basket fast fast asleep!! And looking so adorable.......awwwww.....wwww.... I feel my eyes tearing up everytime I think of....when the time comes for me to leave him with Gideon. So so sad.......I know Giddy will look after him....or else *cut throat action" heeee

How huge is he?! But so adorable.....right...?

My Garfield!!

Jinggles all curled up too!
Yes, he is as Doh! as Oddy! but cute...

Nite nite.....sleep tight!!!

Getting the hang of it

2009-01-16T13:24:00.004+08:00

So I'm officially unemployed for about 16 days now. It took me a while to set a new rhythm to my days but I'm on my way baby! Can't say I haven't felt like procrastinating at home and just laying low but 3days of it and I got real tired. I'm not a born bum I guess.....have to make myself feel useful..... So here I am sitting in Old Town Taipan after working out for 2hours at True Fitness. Yes, like that's the same thing as working right? ;-p Give me a break, I'm a freelance now. Atleast I'm not like those mothers in the Gym calling their maid while walking on the treadmill commanding this that, this that, soak it in water....the chicken cut into tiny bits...bla bla bla. And then calling her daughter's ballet school and saying,"Oh....I'm giving my daughter a whole week off from ballet next week. So she won't be coming in....bla bla bla bla......" Ick!!!!

I should go back and clean the house after leaving it for nearly a month.......but my cleaning mood has not resurface from it's hibernation. Maybe next week......I'll let Jinggles and Moby roam around the house freely first before I really CLEAN cos if I do it now then I'll be so anal about them getting their dirt everywhere. Oh.....by the way, I sent Jinggles for grooming before I left for the holiday and only got to see his 'do' later on hehehehehe I must say he looks really good! They gave him the official snauzer cut.......bare back......eyebrows....beard and with fuzzy legs. I got him 2 nice T-shirts too and an expensive toy.... expensive maintenance dog lah him. I'm still trying to arrange for his return to KK, So worried for his quarantine period....;-(

Anyway, the sky is starting to look gloomy. I better head home and collect my wangi laundry before the rain gets them. Till then.......have a good weekend yer'ol.....

Welcoming 2009

2009-01-07T13:23:00.000+08:00

Was not a great start for me. Caught the bug and had to take cover and nap before the clock struck 12am. Overly stressed my body & mind I guess, with all the good food, fresh air, good company and loads of love. Can't have too much off goodness right hehehehe excuse bah..... I'll just say...... keep em' coming darling!

Well we had a BBQ night near to our 'frog' pool. Set out the tables and just chilled till it was time to welcome 2009. The children was all on high gear to jump into the cold water.......brrrrr for me though....;-p I'll just stay warm and cosy from where I am if you don't mind.

Sky lighting up with beautiful sprays of fireworks!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 everyone......

it's never too late for wishes to go round!
Front, left and right our neighbours didn't fail us ^_^

Christmas 2008

2009-01-05T14:47:00.021+08:00

Christmas turned out so so good this year.....ummmm I meant last year ;-p. We didn't fight or squabbled even once hahahaha......Truth is because Boy & fly was missing the previous Christmas and this year we were really complete! Like a whole PIE! Round and uncut......

I know I haven't been updating but that's just how I am during year end and beginning of the year. Total shutdown! Reason to start?? Everyone flew back to their respective location yesterday and the home based people had returned to their own crib as the kids are going back to school........so that equals to? Me with the parents and the helper. Having total control of time and resources. Actually, I've been hearing cricket sound since last night. Strange silence at times. Weirdness too. After being use to 2 weeks of full house, weird doesn't even describe it. I don't even go to the kitchen 20 times in the day looking for food. I've been there twice today.

Farewell RASB

2008-12-19T15:48:00.013+08:00

So I'm leaving.

Packed my stuff in a big brown box,

exchanged gifts with everyone in the office,

said our holiday wishes,

hugged, and

said our goodbyes!

Me is very sad but touched. Happy and blessed to have shared some part of my life with them. Well this will be my last post from behind my desk in RASB. Gonna miss sitting here tip tapping on my keyboard with my daily routine read at my finger tips. I've customized my desktop and downloaded all my usual haunt here........where do I begin........again........ ;-(

Anyway, will end my episode of posting from RASB with our dinner outing on wednesday 17/12/08 with Terry and Alice in TGIF Curve. Don't even say TGIF to me for the next few months.....I'm so ready for some of mom's yummy cooking, the noise and chaos in the Jinu's residence. Dad's old nostalgic Jim Reeves music loudly blaring in the early morning and us waking up and coming out from our room one by one. The house will be loud and alive once again! The blessing of having BIG family.......

Bryan growing up so fast

Christmas @ The Curve Vanessa my Moshi Monster partner

Pokemon and Ben10 Fan Boy, 'Mat' & Alice

Kids with Mama

Eiji's Jack Daniel's burger ......*buekkkk*

Okay, that last picture was just to throw you off hehehhehe cos I feel grossed out everytime I look at it. Anyway will be flying home on Monday and we're gonna spend Christmas in the 'mountainous' area of KK as we have done for the pass 3years. This year will be the 4th year in upholding our newly 'minted' tradition. Mom reckon if we are all cooped up in a neutral place no one will go missing cos there. is. no. way. to .go! And the cold weather helps with the christmassy feelings .......

so before I go......I wish each and everyone of you a very blessed Christmas and wonderful New Year! Let's pray that we will all have a safe and happy holiday!

To Moon and Simon, hope you both arrived safely and have a great holiday. Will be waiting for my "red alert" call! *wink*

To Wabbit, babe see you real soon. We are so going to swoon over Twilight together-gether ^_^

To my childhood school friends, REUNION 2009 here we come!!! (21 years) *gasp*

As Christmas Approaches

2008-12-18T10:48:00.013+08:00

Our first pre-christmas celebration started last Friday with 'old' friends getting together and doing what we use to do "so well" years back. Sing, drink, dance, stay up all night long and be merry ;-p.....Only this time round, a-lil'-bit-stiff in the joints and calling it a nite a wee bit too early hehehehee......it's a signnnnnn.......!!!! >_<

RedBox The Curve with the guys!

Then on Saturday, as we did not have time to host a house pre-christmas gathering we decided to meet outside for dinner instead. TGIF @ Plaza Damas as it was only their second day opening and we thought we'd go see how their service and food in comparison to the other outlet. I must say its much much better and serving sizes are more generous. Maybe they only need to brush on their service. We'll excuse them this time as it's only their 2nd day....;-p

Gift Exchange - 2 cheeky boys From Moon to Moi

Green box is La'mer baby hehehe Our quiet corner

The next day very very early in the morning, I ended up in Plaza Damas again! That's 7days of my whole week spent in my office area. I actually followed Eiji as he was performing the warm up exercise for the Unicef - Walk for the children. There was atleast 2-3 children homes that came to participate in the walk. Small kids too, so cute that you wonder what happened to their parents for them to end up in a Home. I just stood on the sideline and observe them......

Unicef Booth to educate the public of their plight The 'instant' stage setup in front of Hartamas Shopping Centre

Children registering themselves.....look at the small boys. I even spotted one wearing a men office shoes which was 2 size bigger for him.

Eiji running them through the warm-up action

stretch and go round and round......

The youngest participant get the honour of leading the walkers

After the flagging off, me and Eiji decided to go for our bagle breakfast. Was hoping to catch breakfast before the WALK starts but unfortunately the eatery only open shop around 9:30am. STARBUCKS didn't get to save me either ;-( So I felt like I held my hunger for the children hehehehe......Anyway, after that I left Eiji behind and headed for the gym - 2hours of sweats later, I went to the workshop to get my breakpad and tyres changed, balance and aligned. Took them the longest to fix it that I had to rush home to open the door for Boy and his family. Followed by dinner and Summit-ting with Giddy.....I was ready to drop and zzzzzzzz........ I'm never normal when I have people staying with me, maybe I worry too much and change my routine for them.......a little sacrifice goes a long way! We do what we can for the comfort of our love ones.......;-p I guess mom feels the same way when we all come home/ full house to rack havoc during year end. Just don't overstay and you'll be missed hahahahahha

Van & Bry

2008-12-17T15:19:00.005+08:00

I had them the whole day yesterday.....very entertaining. But squabbles are a lot. A LOT! Both have their own special endearing characters.

Told wabbit, now I know how it feels when she says,"Can't shop with my kids around". I was in MNG with 50% discount on my face and still I left the shop without a single thing! And all the other shops around was also spotting "SALE" signs on their window and it didn't do anything to my nerves. Non! Didn't even want to step in. I just scouted around and spotted some potential stuff for gifts and promised to go back for it without the children lah kan...... and I needed my shopping bag 'carrier' too.......my muskle man's arm ;-p

When Bryan a.k.a Ben10 is bored..... ;-D

I should.....

2008-12-12T16:57:00.003+08:00

Start packing my stuff in the office. But I feel like it's not time yet. Everyone in the office is still going on as if I've never tendered my notice. They still say things like,

"Just hold on to this and I'll ask you for it when I need it" or

"I've ask this tax expert to come over to the office to advice us on deductibles in our accounts and I want you to join together in the discussion so you can identify our scopes"

I would go,"Hello? I'm going, going, gone. In a few days?"

But these are nice people......it makes it harder for me to pack and leave. Sigh! That heavy heart and palpitation I've been experiencing these past few days maybe happening because time is getting nearer to my decision for the big "CHANGE"...... Guess it's a normal phase we go through when we are yanked from our comfort zone. Many will attest to that right? I. AM. leaving a huge deal of my working and adult growing up life here in KL. I'm scared of how I'll adjust back to leaving in KK. I mean going back for holidays ARE totally different from actually making a live there. I have to start from scratch......barely experience any working life in KK... NOT. that I'll be seeking job in KK. But I relatively have very little knowledge of just "leaving" over there. All I do when I go back home for holiday is stay home! cos it's just to comfy to want to go anyway else. I'm even ashame to admit I don't really know the names of those new buildings that have sprouted in the town area. When friends ask me out and says,
"meet you in Wawasan"
and I'll go,"okay....is that somewhere near Center Point?"
Cos I only know those shopping places that have been there for like forever before I left KK and landmarks are easier for me to navigate so. people. give me landmarks and I'll get there. I'll be a true Sabahan before you can even say errr?!! How hard can it be right hehehe.....But I'm proud to say, I know I like City Square cos it's just over the hill from my house and it feels like I have a really really small part of KL in it. I just hope there will never close down *crossfingers*.

Well the comfort of all these is that I'll be practically skin to skin with my parents. I don't have to worry so much about them being alone at home, them being sick and etcs etcs (King & I). I guess there will be (lots of) time/s that they wish I would just vanish but I will be there eyeing them. Making sure they rest well, eat right, take their medication and just make their life ermmmm....hell or well? Hik! It's a reverse role now......just hope I won't end up a cranky old fart! Maybe I'll start "mog-gingat" and go to tamus with my LWee and Gussis.......

Ohhhh well!!! I feel much, much, better now.........can't wait to spend more time with the family. I know we may go through those irritation, bickering and eyes rolling period from time to time but you know what? That's what family is about! Cos in the end we know we love each other no matter what. Just remember to give S.P.A.C.E. to each other.......me the most-est cos you know I'm use to leaving alone *stretch arms* BIG SPACE............"cricket moment" people....... ^_^

Okay.....going off for my happy hours with the guys....... my last few happy hours for this year ;-p. Have a great weekend yer ol'.......I know I'm gonna have a noisy one.....churen coming.....so happy!! Yippy!...ok! ok! I'm really going....... see you Moon.....

Things that went on

2008-12-09T12:55:00.012+08:00

My lack of enthusiasm in updating my blog is so normal......it's like a seasonal sickness. You catch a bug every now and then throughout the year and that's how my highs and lows are also affected when it comes to blogging. I guess I will have to pick myself up cos by next year it will be my full time J.O.B. Yes......I'm going into the internet business. Selling stuff that I would want for myself! Become a buyer for the lazy shoppers out there and travel around the globe just so you can get varieties of stuff you would like to get your hands on. Hope you guys will give me your support in my new ventures.....^_^

Anyhow, the last two weeks seems to have past so quickly........December is coming to it's midst and trying to slowdown the days approaching to the New Year is just plain impossible. I guess it's our busy life that makes the hours and days 'tick-tock' by so quickly. And all I can think of to salvage the remaining days we have of 2008 is by having "Hiro Nakamura's power" it will really be handy right about NOW!

Getting back in track, we celebrated our boss's birthday @ Malaysian Petroleum Club. Right up there in the Petronas Twin Tower. It's an exclusive place- only members allowed. You have to pass through 2 security line and get scanned just like passing through the airport departure hall. I would have rather stepped into LV, Salvatore, Gucci or Channel shops downstairs while they eat, not that I have millions to spend but just so I can feast my eyes..... yes, my eyes was darting into all the shops as we were passing by cos it has those SALES signs *le sign*...........

Ok...so here we are having buffet lunch. It's a waste bringing me to a buffet cos I can't eat much. But they forced me anyway and I got so terribly sleepy after that....and it was raining.....zzzzzz

Fine dining area with a majestic view of KL city

This is the view from the smoking room/bar which has a plush deco.....the access door to the bridge was closed ;-(

So near yet so far

On the same week, we also had a birthday celebration for Wai Kheng @ Las Caretas Damansara Heights. It's a Mexican restaurant so that explain the BIG PINK SOMBRERO hat she had on during her Speedy Gonzales birthday song rendition and candle blowing......

"V" sign for the birthday girl

Entourage

And just last week, I met up (on separate occasion) with atleast 2 person that I have not seen for like nearly 16years. Melvin and Hadzi.........both expanded sideways but still recognisable. And they kept on saying how skinny I am O_O.....I guess that's the benefit of being chubby in my earlier years. Cos as long as you don't add any weight, they'll say you're skinny hahahaha.....I blame it on lacking of God-given collagen!!

At the same time Dee and Alvin came down for a meeting and so my journey into the city starts. Yes I was going up and down into the city twice a day. But, cos it only takes like 10-15minutes with a good traffic-crawl from my office it was okay lah.......I even managed to fetch them for lunch from Jalan Ampang to China Town on a FRIDAY. Very ambitious attempt but all turned out well......we got our yummy beef noodles and still managed to drop them back to KLCC for their last minute shopping.

Me and Dee on our 1st day dinner in KLCC Chillis. Alvin took so many shots of us cos he was not satisfied with it.....in the end we gave up!

I'm still waiting for the other night's photos from Moon.........so these is all for now. This week is gonna be another eventful time. Having drinks and dinners with some various friends on different days, Big Bro and family are coming down from Jakarta on Sunday til we fly back to KK together on 22nd Dec. And I haven't even finish buying everyones' gifts. These is gonna be one big triple loop roller coaster ride towards christmas. Just pray all will fall into places or else I'll end up giving everyone gift vouchers....;-p

Heavy bangs & Scrumptious plum for Xmas

2008-12-09T11:52:00.008+08:00

To satisfy my craving for a shorter hair, I instead cropped my fringe cos' I promised myself to keep my hair longer for awhile. I actually can't stand having it long but tot I'll grow it out for a change..... you know.......look more girlish konon. And you know 'just' the time to grow it out already take months or a year of waiting. That by the time it's long, you are so ready for a change >_<.

Anyway, my hairdresser always take 2 inch out all around when I visit her so it takes longer to achieve long flowy hair for me. As for the colour, told her I wanted to go black again but instead she told me to go dark plum - and I guess it's a nice colour cos I still get the darkness I wanted plus those healthy plum shines on my hair.

Takes awhile to get use to not seeing your eyebrows. Again! ^_^

Excuse the pale face, it was weekend bah....

Side sweeps gives my face a softer look....

p/s I think I had bangs but with much shorter hair last christmas

Yes.....this was last chritmas....how time flies kan Moon

My Latest Obsession

2008-12-02T17:36:00.006+08:00

Comes in a form of "the new age" Vampire - Vegetarian Vampires *rolleyes* yeah...I know

Anyway, I was so caught up with the movie especially with Edward Cullen who seems to give out that awesome vampire vibes That! -ALL was shattered when at the end of the movie I turned. and. looked. O_O at Eiji. I KNOW!!! So so sad I was...........that I think I actually hurt his feelings. Man! *put on a duh! look*

So don't get me wrong here......I'M ONLY IN LOVE with EDWARD CULLEN the Vampire and NOT ROBERT PATTINSON that plays the character. Cos he looks awfully scruffy as himself....... yeah....what a waste right.

But guess what? Eiji agreed to do his hair like EC, bedak kan his face pale pale and put a RED lips on......hehehehe....... I likey lah! ^_^ I just hope I don't get frightened by the outcome!! Yikes!

I must say they did great in casting the right person to play Edward Cullen, else I couldn't go on reading the books with a-not-so interesting face to 'go' with the character. As Wabbit would say *le sign*

What's in a nail?

2008-11-26T15:14:00.007+08:00

Remember my feat up Mount KK last August? Well my toes is finally paying the price! And we wonder? After 3months! Yes.....I've must have treaded around so gently on my toes for it not to have drop off much earlier like Lynda's did.

The thing is, I never realize how bad the impact was actually cos a day after we came back from the mount, we went for our mani and pedi in preparation for Moon & Simon's wedding. For a pedicure to last for more than a month is normal. I normally just clean it out after the new grown nails is obvious. Well, cleaning it in early October (yes that's how malas I am) I found that my big right toes had those bloody like stain inside it. Luckily, it didn't show any sign of dropping off and it was growing upwards healthily. I will just have to wait until it finally reaches the 'prunning' period ;-) Anyway, two weeks back I discovered that both (left & right) of my 4th toes were moving!! Only the sides was holding it in the place but the base has gave way. I was curious and tried to peek inside it......yes.....a new nail is growing nicely half way out. So pink and clean!!

If I didn't tell you about "IT" you couldn't tell right? My pedicurist actually adviced that we leave it alone until it drops off on it's own.

See? One side finally gave way but I dare not pull it off in case I pull too deep into the skin
That's where it is.....

As of this point......the right one actually went off first while I was showering yesterday morning. Didn't realize it until I saw a white patch among my ruby red toes. And yes I finally pulled the left one last night. Now I have two new bed of nails growing openly....^_^

Dunno why I'm sharing this but I find it quite funny......I guess you'll just have to experience it...^_^

Mr. Jingles is a Snauzer

2008-11-24T15:21:00.013+08:00

So I brought mom's gift back to my place on Saturday night. Actually, I bought him since last month but because I was hardly home I thought it would be better to leave him in the pet shop for awhile. ALSO - I was afraid Moby might get jealous. AND yes he did!

Here's Mr. Jingles looking so pitiful cos Eiji "Ahem!!" him. He stayed in his basket and dare not step out from it.

Occupied with his bone
hehehe....happier doggie...cute kan

and in came Mr. Moby the Predator....slowly and sniffing around

Ice-breaker

Me & Eiji had to standby just in case he try to take a swipe at Jingles with his claw....this is just like watching Garfield and Oddy. Jingles is extremely innocent and duhh.....to danger and Moby oh-so-the-cunning cat

They did sniff/ kiss each other

Twice

But when we weren't looking?? Yes, Moby clawed him and tried to take over his crib

Eiji protecting Mr. Jingles

He 'lay' guarding Jingles basket

and still he attacked Jingles even though he was in the cage. He poked his hand through the cage and ran away.

Poor li'l Fler!!!

2008-11-19T13:23:00.008+08:00

Monday was an early start for us. Reached office around 7.30am and had breakfast @ Aroma. Hearing Ruth "emmmm-ing" after every bite is enough to tell you we were having freshly baked breads for breakfast. Well she was having her very delish foccacia sandwich all warm and toasty with ham, cheese and salads tucked in between the foccacia bread. The warm coffee waking up our senses......maybe just a wee bit too much cos Ruth went,"I was reading this article in the mag......you know the man WENT DOWN ON THE WOMAN.........." faded slowly as a woman's head turn sharply towards us. And all she could do to salvage our morning was to go,"Ooooppssssssss...." ^_^

Anyway, we headed to the office and sat down to start the day. Brought along the lappy for her to check her FB and mails among others. She was good, just sat down there and stared at the screen. We even said our usual "hello babe" on FB's chatbox ;-p......close to 1pm AND before her eyesight gets anymore blurry we headed down for some Japanese @ Rakuzen . Had a few friends come down to join us so you can guess lunch went on a bit longer than usual. Strolled back to the office close to 3pm and only lingered for 10minutes before we made our way down again for our mani & pedi. Even that was delayed due to bags sighting...... mmmmm.......

At Rakuzen after food

Finally, after we settle down for our mani and pedi.......Ruth was sighted getting drowsy hehehehe... TerryP later came over around 5.30pm and we decided to head over to Starbucks for a chat before dinner. Our crowd for dinner came trickling in while we were still seated in Starbucks, unfortunately TerryP had prior dinner arrangement and had to leave around 7ish. We waited for Moon & Simon as they had just arrive from their KK flight after a VERY long delay.....poor babies. So once everybody was there, ushered them all out for dinner @ Olive just across Starbucks........easy-peasy to get everyone settled in....

Good friends I'm gonna miss....;-( My love couple

My love hunk
All my lovely friends....together
That's Christine owner of "Olive" and friend of ours too

Ms. Ruthie got to taste our normally long day with a "yawn"...... but was still powered enough to go home and pack for her trip back to KK the next day.

She also had her dream-bagel-breakfast come true @ the Bagel shop the next morning. TerryP and JC came for breakfast and drove her to the airport.

THE END!!

Ms. Prime Minister

2008-11-17T11:24:00.014+08:00

Weekend was hectic. We had to pick and choose invites and put a timer on each of our location.

First of all, I had (and is still having-STOP-...but upon continuing this post she has just landed in KK ;-p) Ruth over for the weekend and some. She arrived on Friday night and so I fetched her from Central and straight for dinner with the girls. To rewind what transpired earlier that day :-
1. Nick SMS-ed to invite me for 'Happy Hour' @ Laundry cos' a friend from KK is down in KL. Told him,"I will try to make it as I gotta pick a friend up"
2. John SMS-ed that he is having a gig with Julian Mokhtar in Shah's Village, PJ.......

Well, Ruth's bag got delayed and she only got to jump on the train at 8:30pm and arrived at Central by 9pm. The heavy rain did not help the situation cos by the time we located her and making our way back to Damansara Heights, it was almost 20 to 10pm. So we practically had a late dinner. When the restaurant was ready to close @ 12pm, we bid our goodnites with lots of drama - yes.....almost an hour of goodbyes.....^_^ but we finally left. Having called Nicky earlier and telling him that we just couldn't make it, I decided we atleast dropby to see John's gig as the place was in our way anyway. And so......that was the start of our 4am bedtime *yawn*

Lynn's welcoming dinner for Ruth

So come Saturday, Ruth woke up early as she was still on her Mummy Mode. We managed to be in Midvalley by 12:30pm and met up with TerryP and family for "brunch". By the time we went on our own way to shop it was already 2pm. So we clocked in shopping for 2 1/2 hours only cos I had to make my way to Hartamas to pick up TerryB & Alice's house warming gift, meet Christine of Olive @ 5pm, dropby SecretGarden as I promised Wai Kheng previous night and fetch Eiji from work at the same place....yes "pheww" is right. At the same time I was coordinating with Giddy to meet up at a landmark near to TerryB's place. We arrived at his place near 7pm and straight away attack his ngau chap with much gusto. He is such a brilliant cook *yummylicious* bah........and he also prepared roasted piglet (yes....with it's head and all, which I did not touch sorry Teg. Something about me and a whole pig on a plate. Can't be explained) and a homemade out-of-this-world-char-siew *double yum*. So yadda-yadda..... TerryP also ended up coming over and we continued yapping, drinking, eating apple pie and pecan pie and more yapping til 2am. Ruth is soooooo........not having enough sleep on this trip hehehehehe

Beef Ball was Bojuan's original!! No kidding!

Giddy after 2 bowls of Ngiu Chap & Eij still going strong
Us...biasalah muka "hong" karer

TerryB avoiding Paparazzi....just imagine his face lah...

2am photos doesn't turn out well

Noisy lagi tu....sorry Teg&Alice's Neighbours

Well after sleeping at 4am again (becoming a habit!) We woke up a bit later on Sunday and made our way to The Pavillion. We had our "Brunch" there @ 2pm and shopped a bit before we headed back to Pyramid around 6pm cos Eiji wanted to attend the Hottest Hunk "Do" @ Euphoria Ministry of Music Sunway Hotel. So me and Ruth continued shopping and finally settled down for coffee @ Starbucks as the shops was closing down for the night. Eiji joined us later and we decided to head out for late dinner/supper @ TGIF Pyramid.

Our very tired face

Shrimps cocktail

Cheese corn balls

Our "hunky-honey" for the night

Desserts

was just too much for 3 tired people

Called it a nite cos Monday was to start very-very EARLY.....yes for Ms. Ruthie too ^_^

To be continued......... "luls & muls babe"

(Sorry you had to bring "panda" back to KK)

FIRST DATE

2008-11-14T15:58:00.002+08:00

(Great email read......it'll be a lost if I don't share it with you guys ;-D)

If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down when you read it. This is probably the funniest date story ever, first date or not!!! We have all had bad dates but this takes the cake. Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize!

She said it was midwinter... Snowing and quite cold...and the guy had taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City , Utah . It was a day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and truly had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain, when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte. They were about an hour away from anywhere with a rest room and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while. Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car. They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation.

Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to poles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem due to the extreme cold. Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about 'what is taking so long' with a reply that indeed, she was 'freezing her butt off' and in need of some assistance!He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too, got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem. Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free.
So, as she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender. As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down. Or perhaps that should be 'pants down.' And you thought your first date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment... 'This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off.Oh, and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was sitting next to her on the Leno show

Just another reason

To get together! (So let's interrupt our Macau-HongKong trip report for this special post!)

And the "excuse" was imported all the way from across south china sea! ^_^ Moon's Dad- Uncle Morris celebrated his 55th Birthday with us here in KL. It was fun........."just like hom.......e" ^_^ We had it by the poolside in Simon & Moon's place @ Mont Kiara cos we BBQ-ed. In the rain. Well, Simon & his bud did.

Their grandchildren multiplied!! Even in KL hehehehe

See how many small lips puckered-up to blow the candles
Taken before we went down
"Kitchen Experts" preparing yummy spread and I was already full before we even stepped out from the door.....cos I was the "Food Taster" jangan marah..... -_O

Lemon-lime asking me to take her photo. Yes I understood her Hebrew-ness

Our Forrest Gump.......run.... Forrest......run! Maybe early preparation for his Olympic entry

Jess found small people to play with ^_^ Aunty Podge's 1st photo with Ms. Lemon-Lime

Random photos of attendees

Terry and Baby Regie

Okay the following photos are taken by Ms.Lemon Lime herself. What John said about kids having the lower half view of the adult is true. Just like the cartoon- "Cow & Chicken" whom are siblings, with lower half part of human as their parents. The most weird cartoon ever (not true, there's still more weirder ones) but I guess that's why it's called cartoon lah right?

So the first masterpiece is the "talking" feet of her grandparents

Yes that's me......

Main buyuk - I helped raised the lens on this one

AND it ended at an obscene time - nearly 4a.m

(Moonie is evil!! Next time -Can we please please do it when it's not a working day the nextday! So that I won't be brain dead in the office?)

for now all I can say is...........

That's all folks!!!

Traveling for Dummies

HOW TO GET TO MACAU?
Fry lah......book AirAsia if you're cheapskate like us hehehehe or go thru' MAS if you feel like wasting those dosh for a nicer treatment (sorry Terry ^_^) Just remember, you'll have more dosh for extra shopping!!

Macau Airport and see how they man-handle your luggage

Then take a cab to your hotel if they don't provide pick-up. Always compare fare, charged by tour agent booth in the airport and the cab waiting outside the airport. Normally not much difference but worth to ask. And most Importantly - Make sure you have your hotel Address please!! Going around Macau is not difficult, you can either walk or take a cab to your destination. I on the other hand prefer walking cos then you are able to discover more things and shops of cos. Just get a copy of Map for easier reference from your hotel lobby. The Concierge of the hotel are very helpful to your inquiries and needs. So just ask them for directions and what not to miss. Hot spots!

Going to Hong Kong from Macau is easy. Most hotels provide shuttle bus that leaves every half an hour to the ferry terminal and also pick-up on your return. And Ferry schedule is also as frequent from 7:00am up to 10:00pm. So don't worry yourself about rushing. Fare to Kowloon Port is HKD/MOP140 on weekdays and HKD/MOP145 on weekends if I'm not mistaken lah (heading to Hong Kong side is cheaper)Ferry rides takes about 1hour 15minutes to reach At the Ferry Terminal you have the choice of taking the helicopter, VIP Class for the Ferry rides (which cost HKD2k plus).....so not worth it kan? OR the economy class....... like us. Wonder what you'll get in the VIP lounge with such vast difference of fare from the economy. So if that shocked you.....better not asked about the heli ride right?

Economy class also very spacious mah.......

Some more can eat maggie in the cup! For HKD16 hehehe......Haaaaa!! Maybe you'll get it for free in the VIP class kan? But still!! Unlike some, luckily we're not status crazy people ^_^ Still arrive at the same time right?Once you reach Kowloon, get your direction from the front desk and head to the nearest MTR station. If you're gonna visit places.......worth to get Octopus card a.k.a Touch n Go Malaysia version. Just pay HKD150 which breaks down to HKD50 for deposit and HKD100 as your credit. You can get your deposit and un-use credit refunded at the end of your stay.

The MTR station is very user friendly just like our LRT here in KL but thats where the similarity ends -_O

Waiting for the train.......every 2minutes or more one will arrive

Our STOP to Nathan Street where we stayed. Two street behind our "cage" there is also a night market similar to those in Mongkok and Sham Shui Po. So if you're been to one better skip the others. Advice - Mongkok's opening price is more expensive and over rated.

But if you're interested in those Anime figurines best to head to Sham Shui Po. We got a few for the "kids" - Matt, Giddy and Eiji ^_^. And Giddy went,"Phwoarrrr......so cheap ahhhhh? Why not buy more? Can sell in ebay woh!" *roll eyes* In the first place we didn't even recognize any characters except for Dragon Ball and Jeannie kept asking me if I see Mr. Ben10 cos she only knows him by name...(????) and I only know that he wears a green getup! -_- Too bad Ben10 is not as famous in HK as he is here. Eiji was our Figurines guide and advisor - and that's how I got those 'small people' for Giddy cos Eiji have seen his collections and knows what he doesn't have and what he is interested in. For Matt me got him some bunch of characters from the anime show. Bought it cos Eiji recognizes them heehee. The other shops in Sham Shui Po are more of a bulk selling- best for those in retail side. The stalls on the streets are ok too. So-so lah you know....... It was our first night shopping, so of cos a bit jakun lah kan. Everything also just buy! And cash was high!

Forgot what we did in Admiralty. Will get back to this one later. OHHH!!!! We only changed train here.... ;-p Wonder why we didn't just go up and explore......maybe time factor.

The higher end of Kowloon. You'll find Times Square and other malls here. Also Victoria's Park which is swarmed by Filipino & Indonesian Maid cos it's their weekend off.

Easy to find your exit gate by locating your exact destination

underground walk is way better than exiting to any streets at the station cos THEY ARE JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE WALKING.........like New York just more rude though ;-p

The escalator's handrails in the higher end station are even decorated.....

We stopped at Central to get to Victoria's Peak. Still quite a walk away but street signs sure helps! Ya.....Jeannie always jadi Station Model ^_^

Ms. Tan Mong kok.......where you'll find the Ladies Market and lots of electrical and Techie Stores

By the way, Hongkees speaks a bit of da-english, so it helps e-tian-tian lah...... ask in cantonese and you'll be scolded!!! hahahaha......

What did we do?

2008-10-30T14:02:00.013+08:00

Time is never enough and that was exactly what we had to screen while we were there. Lots of time wasted on travelling alone. Legs are aching from our miles and miles of walking, plane ride, ferry ride and MTR rides around HongKong. What with dragging our suitcases around HK on our arrival and departure day. But all was a great experience!! AND NOW! I know why Malaysian's are considered "friendly" people ^_^ ......... and you will too after meeting the HongKees!! In their own country that is...... ;-p

Sight-seeing on foot (Some main spot)

St. Paul's ruin

Museum at Macau
Night light view of HK from Victoria's Peak

Across the HongKong Mainland where you find HK stars walk of fame

Known as The Avenue of Stars

Only knew the BIG names..... tis' is Jackie Chan's We ate and ate! Enjoyed the food so much!

We casino-ed

The biggest one near where we stayed and we were surrounded by lots of casinos!

The Grand Lisboa -Day Time

Nite time it turns into the city of lights!

We had a good buy on shoes! Minus the 2 NineWest lah!

hahaha.....we 'pajak-ed' lots of bangles and these are only part of it cos the unseen one may be an X'mas gifts......burukkan me hehehehe

Yeah, when we travel we always end up buying lots of things for friends and family

(as Souvenirs Gifts for friends)

You should have seen us lugging biscuits and other sorts of food for people back home. There's the office people, close friends and families to think about. I ended up giving away most of it lah.....luckily cukup! But I'm so tired that I need another holiday to recuperate. Jetlag should not even exist in this trip but that's exactly what we are experiencing cos we hardly slept at the proper time. Culprit??? The shops in Macau are opened 24-7!! Well that is near where we stayed and HongKong stays alive til really late. So sleeping in the wee hours of the morning and waking up at 7 or 8am really doesn't count as being on a holiday. The day before we left for Macau......we slept at 4am and the day we arrived back home we slept around 4.30-5am...... all because of 'bercerita' and watching DVD. The two sis missed their 2pm flight the next day cos of short (not in our dictionary) shopping near my place. So I stayed with them til 3.30pm at the airport before driving back home cos I can feel the start of a migraine and slept the remaining afternoon away. AND again, I was WIDE-EYED that night!! Next day was work day- clocked in near to 11a.m hehehehee and had lunch with Moon & Simon. I must get back to my mode by tomorrow.....must, must, must,......

Will update again once I get the photos sorted out ;-p There's less then 10photos of me.....cos I was the camera lady.....kesian kan......;-) The work pile waiting on my office table when I stepped in yesterday doesn't help either...... never SAY you are going on holiday!! Cos it's worst than going to work in the end.....

Off to the land of Chingkulai-malaiputut

2008-10-22T14:02:00.002+08:00

Ho-yeah ho-yeah!! (Is all I know? ;-p)

So me, Eiji, sis 1 and sis 2 will be flying off to Macau and thereafter to Hong Kong for 5days 4 nights of togetherness. Yes, so much stress and frustration to be released while we are there. It's better to throw it all away in their part of the ocean before coming back home kan? Oh....(going into my ching-lish accent) lon't forget ah.....thlow money also at le same time lah.......

I guess I will be hearing a LOT of "ching-chong ching-chongs" and will prolly get mistaken as chinese which is so normal lah. Even I get that so often in KL. No matter how big I open my eyes O_O........ or how blonde I make my hair ;-p hehehe...... cannot run wan lah! GOD already make, kinnot change ;-D

So high light of our trip? Probably the food and shopping and of cos' spending time together-gether ;-p ....... we'll be doing the touristy stuff too- just to make one 'child' happy and also untuk menjamin keselamatan THAT he won't sell us off!!! But the most important of all is that he HELP us bargain our way through our purchases and ordering of food! Gotta try scrumptous Hongkee food.... till then peeps!

Where else did we inherit it?

2008-10-17T14:25:00.004+08:00

Mom is a real trooper when it comes to shopping. Whenever she drops by to KL its the mall from 'biilas' to 'modop' time. That's my analogy of - 'from sunrise to sundown' ^_^ or better still until the shops actually pull down their shutters. One incident I can never forget was the time when we were in this shop and she was trying on pants after pants after pants. My dad was practically just choosing and giving it to her for fitting. She'll try it on and comes out for approval /or not from us. After having tried so many pants (imagine piles of pants in the fitting room), she came out in a black one and said,
"This one is very nice!! It fits me perfectly."
and we went,"Ya very nice oh!"
Well, that is until we realized it's the very same pants she came in with - Ya lah! Means it was her own pants!!! hahahhaha.....we laughed so hard I think the shop owner was tickled to the core too.

Oh Gosh!!! It's never a bore going out shopping with my mom and especially so with her sisters. They're like cartoon people. Never fail to make fun of things around. And they can actually buy anything from ANYWHERE!! Just for the sake of buying. They love it, they buy it......and give it away ;-p Shop addict bah! Reminds me of our 'sisters' Manila outting..........we n-e-v-e-r made it to the sight seeing part pasal 'distracted'. Luckily church was just next door!

I faint to think of our Macau -HK trip next week. I hope someone will not end up sulking hehehehe...... but we'll apeace him with Disneyland 1st and lots of yummy momoms. Ada trick dalam tangan bah! ^_^

Mom modelling her Kadatz modern

Assembling her separate buys. Ready for breezy time.....
MY MOTHER MaaaaaaH!!

How would I look?

2008-10-14T08:03:00.016+08:00

OK. So I did these sometime ago and totally forgot about it in my drive until I saw some people posting their yearbook on FB and I went searching for mine.

The thing about yearbooking yourself is that it takes time. First you gotta, upload your most suitable angled photo, adjust it to fit the face measurement window and then choose your mall location before you get to choose your prefered year. AND the most annoying thing is, it only allows you to do one year at one time! Cos if you want more? You have to go through the whole process from the beginning to 'year' yourself again. So you can guess how long it took me with these 12looks! And for what? So that Eiji can laugh at me ;-( .......wait til I 'YB' him and see how funnier he'll look! Not "Yang Berhormat" ok ^_^

1950 1952

1960 1962

1966 1968

1974 1978

1984 1994

1980 1998

And I would think the 80's hairstyle is the most fashion disaster decade we've ever gone thru. Oh-ohhhh.......let me re-phrase that, 80's FASHIONs overall are screaming for "Fashion Police" to nab you. Everything is so over the top! Imagine MC hammer's "You can't Touch This" pants, those baggy high waisted pants and cropped tops, Madonna fishnet top/neon colours, Cybill Shepherd's humongous shoulder pads and so many more!! I think that's the least re-visited year for fashion designers if their thinking of bringing sexy back to the runway?? No??

Something I Missed

Fleur's 1st birthday........ ;-(
But all is not lost as Dad sent me some photos of the event ;-)

3Generation - Grandmama, Mummy Faye & Fleur

Fleur with Papatua Ed

And I guess, as Faye had announced 'it' during Fleur's party........I am therefore in the clear to write it here that......................."She's expecting baby No.4!!!!" Yeah!!! hehehehe.....Congratulation to the Jinu-Bisaun Family

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

Something I DID NOT Miss

Meeting with Kumar and Nicky after loosing touch with them for the last 10yrs or so? Yes. It was that long. Nicky- I've known him since school days and Kumar- when I moved to KL in the early 1990's and we were housemates for the last part of the years before we parted and moved into our own place.

Lame but atleast we got in touched again through FB- which is another lame way memandangkan we are in the same state and residing next to each others kampung. Yes me in Subang and him in Puchong. Hmmmm.......... yes all those emails about getting lost in our own world is true. Time to Chop! Chop! People! Go and meet as many old friends as you can.......making time to meet is easy. Busy is just an excuse.

I had a good hearty SABAH laugh that night and I can still feel the smile coming everytime I think about our conversation. Thanks guys!!

Nicky went missing when the camera came out

Yonny, Moi, Kumar & Terry But we caught him and made him pose with us ^_^

That night we missed Richard & Dion - due to work & geography. So there's going to be another get together until we had enough of each other-TO last us for the next 10 years hehehehhe......NOT lah!

Words relived - Simpriding (can only ingat this for now)

Stories relived - Ancis the Disco light man, How to spot a Sabahan in a football field -rumput belakang telinga, Party Kampung - cara tanya mau menari kah?, A football friend in KK called Amput. Yes that was the poor man's name. And you would not want to know his last name.

Funniest current story - A man from Indonesia was denied entry in KLIA due to his name being SUPERMAN BIN BATMAN. Serious ni........true story bah! Didn't know batman was Superman's daddy ^_^

Censored stories - banyak lah specially Kumar punya ;-p

Terry's Birthday

2008-10-08T12:45:00.013+08:00

It was suppose to be a "SURPRISE" birthday gathering for Terry but then she found out. Why? Because John communicated with us through FB and they shared a common email address. Go figure -_- hehehe..... yes she ter-read my reply from the email alert. And we were treading around safely til the last day only to know she was already in it.

Anyway, we had a good turn-out, 100% actually ^_^. Even Giddy & Liza made it. We met up @ BSC Chillies for dinner on Sunday a.k.a 5th day of Raya which sadly is a "back to work" the next day! But still, that did not deter everyone from ordering Margarita. Except for the 1 year old couple lah cos Giddy was having "active bowel" movements.......his normal penyakit ;-p and Liza don't really take alco.

Ronwyn, Jess, Terry & Baby Reg

Happy with her corn
In attendance minus birthday girl. Cos she had to dodoi Reg

After dinner, we brought the party back to their house and continued drinking and snacking on cheese and crackers. As John have an extensive alco selection, we all had something to 'hold' on. We sat around chatting and it was just very nice and cosy.

Jess blew the candle but half way ask her mummy to blow it cos we laughed at her cuteness. Anyway Terry let her cut the cake hehehehe

The child magnet....selalu jadi mangsa ;-p Jess tying a ribbon on Eiji's hand

The party finally ended @ 12:35am cos alco, late night and waking up early to work don't go hand-in-hand. And I know of someone who called in absent the next day ^_- but you shall remain anonymous for now. Anyway, we had a great time being entertained by Jess kadazan/ bahasa/english cuteness and John's view of Penampang's living. Hilarously entertaining! I must say we are uniquely Sabahan ^_^

EULOGY

2008-09-29T13:35:00.007+08:00

This was sent to me by my Uncle Oswald to be shared here with everyone. In honour of my late Uncle Lubin, let's remember him for the simple but meaningful life he led, his courage, his commitment to the family, society and God. As a simple man, he has done bigger things and touched many lifes than we "care" to realize. Sadly, a passing of life will often ONLY make one appreciate the other. And by then it's too late to tell them that you love and cherish them......

Happier days "Father's Day 2007"

EULOGY FOR THE LATE ROBIN @ ROBERT JUIS
(English Translation)

Gundohing Robin @ Robert Juis was born on 25th March 1958 at Kg Hubah, Penampang. He is the second youngest child of the late James Benedict Juis and Eveline Wong Soikim in a family of nine children.

Gund. Robin received his primary and secondary education from St. Michael’s School, Penampang. On completion of his schooling, he worked for a short while with the District Council, Penampang and then the Meteorology Department, Kota Kinabalu.

This was followed by 11 years of dedicated service to Party PBS, for which he was given a state award, the Bintang Knabalu in 2004.
He was still with Party PBS when the Lord called him away.

He celebrated his marriage at St Michael’s Church Penampang on 22nd September 1990.

Gund. Robin was a member of the Gong Band from Kg Penampang Proper.
He was also active in church activities and prayer group in his kampong.

Robin @ Robert Juis was a caring person who would render assistance to others without reservation. While working for the Meteorology Department at Tg Aru Airport, a plane crash involving a small plane occurred. Disregarding his own safety, he rushed and extracted the pilot out of the plane which could have exploded at any time. This was fully reported in the press.
When a nasty car accident occurred in front of his house at Kg Hubah, Robin was also there attempting to save five of the victims trapped inside the car.

The Late Robin was also an active blood donor, as a contribution to society. Robin was always present, with his helping hands at all family events of his relatives.

Gundohing Robin attended his last church mass at St Michael’s Church in the morning of Sunday, 21st September 2008. At about noon of this day, his family members called for an ambulance because he was not feeling well. At about 5 pm, Robin left this world due to a heart attack at the Queen Elizabeth hospital, Kota Kinabalu.

He is survived by his wife Aina and a son named Rodney.

The Kadazan Version was read by Willibrord Lim at the Requiem Mass on 23rd September 2008 at St Michael’s Church, Penampang.

On a brighter Side

2008-09-22T17:39:00.017+08:00

After all the sad news thats been thrown on us, I thought we need some brighter post in this blog. I've purposely delayed this post in respect of my Uncle's passing. I know it's been just 3 days but lets inject a little bit of happiness back into our life ok.

Anyway, Eiji had a birthday on Monday. We celebrated it on Sunday as we've planed it much earlier. So we went ahead with dinner and drinks at Dave's in 1Utama and later on to TGIF for........... more drinks. And we are glad- atleast he had a good time even though it was low key as "situation" of the emotion at that time didn't permit an over the top celebration.

In Memory of

2008-09-22T10:19:00.005+08:00

MR. ROBIN JUIS a.k.a Uncle Lubin

Mom's brother passed away yesterday evening of double heart attack. When she called me over the phone to inform me of his passing, I could hear the heart break in her voice. The tiredness. The acceptance of his death. It was the tone no one wants to hear when we pick up a phone. It just tells you that something is very wrong. Heaviness settled in my heart with loads of thoughts flashing through my mine. I'm sad that my Uncle passed away so suddenly. And at the same time worried for my mom. Her health and well being.

At the moment, I can't do much over here. Feeling helpless. Work is overwhelming :-(. All I can do is offer my prayers for his soul to rest in peace and also prayers to the families for our loss, especially to his wife and son. I hope all of you can spare us your prayers too. Amen.

Makanan Kampung Memang Sedap!!!

2008-09-16T14:25:00.004+08:00

Aunty Irene was back in KK earlier this month (5th Sept - 13th Sept) but for a sad occasion. Her beloved mom passed away suddenly......sorry was not there for you Aunty but our prayers are. Always! May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

Anyway, before she left KK mom came over to her hotel bearing soko, pinasakan, bosungan & sambal for her to feast. They practically had a picnic in the hotel room.

Enjoying her sup soko! (Bamboo shoot soup)

Grandchildren tumpang GUMBIRA!Besties!! Apa tu kamu tingguk?

Hope to see you back home for a happy occassion next time Aunty......together with your beau ;-) kio? ;-p

Do I even need to explain?

Berbuka Puasa as Malaysian

2008-09-15T15:06:00.010+08:00

In a country like ours with many race and religion, we grew up to respect, understand and learn about each other. I for one have never felt left out when I am among my friends of different religion background. Cos' for one I get involve and experience their religion in a way tourist do when they visit a new country. It helps open up our mind and have deeper sense about other peoples way of life.

So it's never a surprise when some friends organize berbuka puasa and I get invited. It happens every year even though we only so much as- get to meet each other once or twice a year but they never fail to include me. That means a lot to me to be accepted even though I'm of different religion. And yes I've experienced fasting with them, I even when as far as fasting for one straight month! Yep.... even on my bloody time of the month ;-p Doesn't matter cause I don't apply to the "batal" or not terms in the first place anyway.

This year we had our berbuka in Rebung, Bangsar. A restaurant co-own by Chef Ismail and Cosmonaut Dr. Sheikh. Food served were of malay authentic cooking style with varieties of ulam, masak lemak, sambal and kampung vegetable just to mention a few. Ambiance was also low key with 2 piece band performing some malay songs. The singer even doubled up as the cucur udang fryer (translation: tukang goreng cucur udang) That was funny though ;-D

Having these guys (on the right) as classmates was never a dull moment

TO OWN

2008-09-11T17:45:00.009+08:00

Descendants of "Eve" are complicated creature, I myself don't understand 'myself' sometimes. Clearly, we are a true case of the "X-File" - but good traits surpassing the negative ones ;-p. So next best thing? Go with the flow and just ride with the wave I might say!

So linking back to my visit to Moon's place last Sunday. She showed me her treasure finds during her honeymoon trip to The United States. Earlier on Simon gave me a quick peek of all her 6pairs of shoes.....he knows me too well.....shoes! ^_^ So, as she was giving me the historical run of how, where and price of each item, she mentioned how size was a problem in the US. They normally have more larger sizes in-stocks and we Asian have to shop in the Petite department. Still it is a dissapointment when you love something but they don't have it in your size. Then she mentioned how she nearly got a pair of shoes that was one size smaller just 'because' but Simon brought her to her senses. So there!! Descendants of "Eve", "How many of us have au' naturel-ly thought or done that during our HIGH in shopping?" I admit I've done that.

My 5 top reasoning to myself:-
1. Bought one size smaller clothings (and said I'll loose some weight and fit into it)

2. It's cheap! It's a steal! Rugi not buy! (even though you don't need it)

3. You console yourself you can give it to someone as a gift! (And you end up having many presents in the end for that "one" person)

4. Buy 5 for RM.......... (Yes! As long as you see quantity.....you think nothing of the price but cheap. Although you could just get 1pc like what you NEED for less money. So you stock up, forgot about it till the next sales when you buy more cos you a got short term memory and by the time you clear your wardrobe only to find the old/new? stash. it'll. have. already. rotted. in your drawer e.g getah sansut once stretch? Doesn't go back to it's original size ;-p)

5. Grab everything in the 70% & 50% rack because it's on great discount and announce how proud you did yourself for spending RM400 on 10-12 items!! *feeling of triumphant* (You get home and while trying it on - ask yourself WTF did I buy this fugly. looking. thing for?! *roll eyes*. And did you even want to spend the RM400 in the first place?)

So we were lying on the bed and complaining about ourself and asking why do we do that? Moon said ONE word that strucked the right cord!! Pierced straight to the heart!!! She said it casually enough,"I guess we just like to OWN it." That is the right word. For me that is *shrugs shoulders*.......example (okay this post have too many examples? no lah :-p) I buy shoes by 2 -3 pairs at one time - just the high ends one on a sales period. Shoe shopping gives me the most high I must admit second to bags that is. I have a pair of heels that cost me near to a thousand ringgit. I know that was pure dumbness on my part but I don't do that anymore *scouts honour*, I made sure I get 2-3 pairs for a thousand buckaroos now ;-p apart from Vincci lah......can get more but useless lah to get many from there cos' everyday is low price in Vincci. Anyway, most of it is still lying inside their box and once in awhile I take them out to be admired, sprayed with leather protection and lovingly kept back into their box. Even clothings still has it's tags on it. So what does that say? Yes. Exactly. We like to OWN 'D' things. If I was to invest the sum of $$ I spend buying things just for it to lie around the house, I would have more $$ now to spend buying things to OWN hahahahha.......hmmmmmm.......yes it still comes back to the same thing right? So what do you reckon is the cure to this desease? Not be friends with the same "tabiat" of people? Probably best thing is to stay away from the mall....."What our eyes don't see, won't raise any desires?" But then again, along the way you meet your friends during one of your gossip session and you see her carrying this nice new 'angel' bag or something and the desire is awaken. I guess the last resort is to move somewhere really isolated! Like the Far Far Away Land? But that won't happen in a million years right?

So I guess the next best thing is to have a reasonable person next to you telling you how INSANE!! and CRAZY!!! you are ^_^ And if that happens during the wrong time of the month? Man.........n I'll hate to see what happens to THAT "reasonable person."

On an unrelated issue.......our double date last Thursday cos of Thirst Factor!

Yeah.....she was very thirsty ;-D indeed

Sunday is Makan Day

2008-09-10T13:08:00.005+08:00

Mr. Tamil Naidu flew in last Thursday night to attend Harvin's wedding during the weekend. I must say he felt right at "home" hehehehe.......

On the other hand, THE NEWLY WED came back from their hOnEyMoOn last Saturday and was quickly followed up with a phone call and a Sunday lunch date at Petaling Street Beef Noodle shop. I must say it was delicious!! Could have been more delish if I brought my own power chili mix! We actually ended up ordering another round.......Yeah, we thought after going all the way to PS "WHY NOT HUH?" might as well satisfy the craving and be done with it. By the time we polished off our 2nds my stomach was rock hard! It was filled to the brim ;-) can't even suck it in O_O and we can still stop for air mata kucing on the way back to the car.
Simon asking,"You still have space in there?"
Me,"No, but if you shake shake a bit it might make space" ;-p

Kenyang and happy we headed back to their place and hung out till 6:30pm with the promise to go home since 4.00pm cos Eiji wanted to go MV to get some stuff. Me and Moon wouldn't have stopped chatting if Giddy didn't call telling me dinner was @ 7.00pm! Our chatting actually went from the bedroom to the living room to the kitchen and still we kept on going with Simon coming looking for us once in a while. So told the NW to meet us @ Pangkor Fish Head as I had to fetch 'The Sudah La-ayu" Mr. Eij eeeckkk.....guilty! So we had to scrap his plan to head over to MV.

TamilNaidu doing a fright face pose, Giddy phoneAdvert & Liza peace-ing

The Newly Wed and Mr. La-ayuOh.....Mr. WAAAHH!!!! ......sooooooo luckyyyyy!!! Pun ada ;-p

Oh.....my makan didn't end there. As the rest headed to Carrefour "Boy's favourite shop" and home for The NW, me and Mr. La-ayu headed to the DVD shop but not before going into the bakery shop for his childhood chocolate balls and a cold mooncake for me. After our first DVD shop we drove back to Taipan and got ourselves each a McD soft ice cream ;-p. Still licking along we enter the next DVD shop. Memang makan gila lah.....cos he hentam his 3choc balls at home and tempted me with the double york green tea mooncake!!! Wei!!! Diet lehh....... >_<

p/s Simon learned a new word......."ANU" as in - si anu, dia punya anu ;-p, anu bah! etcs ^_^ and I swear I haven't heard or use that word for the longest!!! Anu anu anu anu anu anu anu anu anu anu anu......just to get it out of my system hehehehhe

DIARY OF A WICKEDLY HAPPENING HOLIDAY!!

2008-09-05T11:29:00.057+08:00

So! Long overdue post. I'm just gonna let some of my favourite photos do the talking as I walk you through it...... TWO word for these trip.....awesome and wicked!!!

09.08.08 Saturday

Arrived around 12:00 noon and got out from the airport just in time for our 1pm lunch appt at "where else" but WAN WAN. Rabbit Luv, mommy Whimsical and babyAl joined us.

She just loves to be photographed

Lynda after satisfying herself with her fishlips soup got introduced to BabyAl

We got home to a closed house. "Honk!" "Honk!" but no one came out to greet us. So we called the Mom who was apparently attending a wedding luncheon at KDCA with her sisters. Called Dad and he was in Tg. Aru. He said he'll come back a.s.a.p. Next best thing. We parked at the second gate entrance and walked to the small gate at the back of the house. Jess got the secret combination for the padlock hehehe....... and so we sat at the patio and waited it out. Dad got home and so did my mom, sisters and Uncle. I found a cake in the fridge and decided we should sing my mom a birthday song.

Happy Birthday MOM - Cake courtesy of Aunty Alice sans the CLementina ^_^ sisters by her side......ooohhhhh......

As the night approached and after our dinner at home we got ready for Moon's hen's Night @ Bluenote STAR. Description? Hancur!!! >_<

Our 'still fresh moment!'

Managed to make it into 2in1 occasion School and Uni friends

The boys landed at 9pm. Had their dinner and dropby!
Let's just say......we had a blast.......too much??? We don't do it often, so it was good to let go ^_^

Asked sis to get mom to give me 100plus and slept some more. Woke up for WabbitLuv Tea@theJinu around 4ish or was it 5ish. Anyway the funny part about this TeaParty bit was..... it was arranged by a TUI person (Talking Under Influence) who didn't "remember!" But WabbitLuv was every bit in her right mind that night ^_^. She Baked!!! and it was YUMMY!!! Pumpkin pie was my fav!! What can I say......I'm a hillbilly girl ^_^....... We're glad "she" arranged this tea party hahahhaha Cos I was hungry!!

14.08.08 Thursday - ISLAND DAY!!!

We got Yonny to drop us at the town Port around 1pm and we took the next boat out to Mamutik Island for a short bask under the sun. It quickly turned cloudy around 3.30pm dampening our spirit to get a tan. By 5:30pm it started to drizzle as we had back to the mainland.

On our way to the Island

The newbish Island Girl

Alas.....he finally got to go to a Sabah Island. He was complaining he never got to go to any Island after 3 visits to KK ;-p What can I say. 4th visits a charm!

Happy feet!!!

Jess fetched us at Wisma Merdeka after work and sent us back to home sweet home. Me & Lynda got ready for our Starbucks date with my childhood friends in Warisan Square (? - across CB Waterfront) I'm still not good with the new mall's names that is sprouting around KK. Anyway, that ended around 2a.m and we all drove home to zzzz.........

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

15.08.08 Friday - DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING!

This is a non photo day. But WabbitLuv picked us up for our 11 o'clock mani-pedi appoinment at City Mall Luyang. We had a good day just "lepakking" there. Eiji got his hair cut and body massage while he was left on his own. By the time I completed my nails we met up for juice at Yogurberry and went to look for a place to lunch. Happily fed I went up to see WabbitLuv was still having her nails painted. We had cappucino between us while we sat and chatted in the nail saloon. By the time she finish, I called to find out where Lynda was and we all joined her for Tea downstairs. The remaining of the day was spent at home and dinner with the parents @ 888.

Our flight out was around 2.30pm. It's sad but still, we packed and headed for the airport. But before I left my room........I put this up. Another memory for my mirror to hold.

THE END!

Did Laundry

2008-08-29T16:27:00.005+08:00

With the 2 brother last night.
(Let me get this out of the way before I start my 'summary' post on our KK hols. Although most of the pictures are already up on Facebook.....so bear with me heee.....)

Yonny said,"So I need to give them one piece of my clothing for laundry right?"
hmmmm......old joke between us. The big bro just look at us puzzled as he always does cos his mind is always whizzing off somewhere else. Anyway, these two came to The Curve to meet me looking like a school kid!! They were both carrying black knapsack and walking aimlessly til I had to "psst!! psst!!" at them to get their attention. Guys are like that....... -_-

So we headed down to Laundry cos I was thirsty for my Mojito and Yonny had his mind on food. We ended up getting a jug of Mojito and some food from Italiannies kitchen. When our orders came everyone chowed down including the brother who earlier said he "wasn't really hungry" ^_^. He prolly saw how intense Yonny was eating.......he can always make one hungry by just looking at him eat hahaha.....

Being with 2 guys, they don't really talk much......it's more of facial gesture, eyebrow up down, like sign language thingamajik you know..... and it feels like you are having a full conversation with them hahahahaha..... and big brother like always will be on his mobile. So I'll be teasing either one of them just to get reaction.....Yonny will respond short and just laugh.....or he will suddenly come up with something to tell you which will die an instant death cos' he'll tell you things like,
"eh...you can change your service provider dy" and me going
"why on earth do I need to change?"
"Your provider been having trouble this pass few days right"
"no....no problem"
"ohh........." blink blink blink...... *LOL*

Cute hoh.....thats why I like to pick on him.......he's like the blink blink little boy...... hehehhe

One for the Blog the big bro says....and so. it. is. here alright!

What's left of our dessert....it wilted and crashed into a pile of oozing melts...

It's Cappucino Ice cream cake...

Oh.....I forgot to mention, by 9pm they thought of leaving but I told them I wanted to stay and watch the local underground band perform. So they ordered themselves some more beer and we waited until 10pm when the first band started to play. One word. Buruk!! I gave them chances for the benefit of my doubt but until the 3rd song my ears and nose was bleeding. So we chao-ed. So here's the funny part - The "two gentleman" galantly stood up and walked with their hands in their pockets like no cares in the world. And I'm going hey! hey! and not getting their attention (read lips - LOUD BURUK MUSIC polluting in the background!) So what can I do but unstraddle their BAGS from the seats and carried it on each side of me. Heavy laptops bag okay!! And these 2 goons, still oblivious of what they forgot kept walking and looking at the skylight......picture me struggling ungraciously with 2 heavy bags and people seated looking pitifully at me for slaving myself to the two men. Well......sampailah they turn back to look for me..... and went,"OMG!! My whole life is in this bag!!!" That was the big bro reaction.......Yonny??? "kikikikiki"

Me?? *blink blink blink*

And both of them wore their knapsack on their back and walk into the night..... macam tia.......da....... >_<

Sneak Peek!

2008-08-17T22:29:00.004+08:00

I'm back!!!! Tired. Happy. Pained. Spoilt. Been on top of the world. Basked under the sun. And a bit fat.....^_^ but a very satisfied customer. So no complains.

On another note, was looking through the photos of yesterday's wedding and thought I'd give you a sneak peek into the beautiful day we had together with the bride & groom before I take my much needed eye shut.....

Day filled with "Happiness and love"

BIRTHDAY SHOUT-OUT

2008-08-08T14:41:00.004+08:00

So we will be having a real packed week long hols starting with Moon's 'Hens Night' tomorrow night and Sunday for recuperation before we get picked up for our "here we come Mount KK!!" climb on Monday. Back on Tuesday, we will be heading to Moon's house celebration at night. Yeah, another boozie night = not good! hahaha....... so Wednesday or Thursday might see us lying like sealion basking under the sun (I hope it doesn't rain) on some Island. Friday will be a recuperating day before Moon's BIG DAY! on Saturday. It's gonna be a whole day affair, Church wedding followed by lunch at Shang Beach Hotel and Dinner afterwards.

The worst is, we will be flying back to KL at 2:30pm the next day. Until I step back in to my pad I'm gonna hold my breath and go phewwwww........wwww at the end of it all.

p/s Do pray and wish us luck on our bid to scale the giant mountain of East Malaysia! I will shout on the mountain top!!! Wait for the echo of love.....^_^

Trial and Tribulations

2008-08-07T10:58:00.009+08:00

And now, the end is near;

(Count down to her wedding day)

And so I face the final curtain.

(of her wedding preparation)

My friend, Ill say it clear,Ill state my case,

of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life thats full.

I've traveled each and evry highway;

and more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;

But then again, too few to mention.

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;

Each careful step along the byway,

But more, much more than this,

I did it my way.

Yes, there were times,

Im sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew.

But through it all,

when there was doubt,

I ate it up and spit it out.

I faced it all and I stood tall;

And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.

I've had my fill;

my share of losing.

and now, as tears subside,

I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;

And may I say - not in a shy way,

No, oh no not me,

I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught.

To say the things he truly feels;

And not the words of one who kneels.

The record shows I took the blows

-And did it my way!

Her Beautifully done Nails

Make-up, Hair & Veil Trial.... ready for the BIG day!!!

For the love of Vanity!!

2008-08-01T13:16:00.006+08:00

This will be the most excruciating tale of my "self-inflicting pain" story by far. I've always been "tahan tukul" with pain. When I was on braces, Doc said I was her first patient to pull 2 molar tooth on one visit. Normally it will be pulled in a space of 1 week from each tooth. And I had my fair share of operations and even gone shopping on the day I was released from the hospital with my scar and stitches exposed. Done tattoo, embroidered my eyebrow and the other day!! finally. decided. to. do. permanent. kohl on my upper eyelid.

I've ask the saloon lady a millionth time whether it's painful and she said with a finger action,"a lit-tle bit onl......y" and that "little bit" got me so riled up till I heard buzzing sounds in my HEAD!!! Just from forcing myself to accept the pain. The zzzzzzzzzz.....sound of the gadget she was using did not help.....everytime she switch it on, I flinched and braced myself for the pain. I guess because the eye area is very sensitive and the pain is therefore magnifide by 1000x or more. Well you can imagine, my eyelid swelled up like I've been crying a river! Luckily it subsided within half an hour and I was just plain NUMB! Couldn't even take it anymore when she wanted to touch up a bit. The area was raw. Told her I'll come for touch up after one month when I've forgotten my ordeal - NOT!! But already bayar for pain must go lah kan? >_<

The result after 3hours from being tortured

still slightly swollen

Anyway, will update you with photos after it has fully healed and peeled. It is suppose to come out finer and lighter by a shade.

p/s This is by no mean to scare you guys but probably different person will experience different level of pain. So don't let my post deter you from going if you really want to. okay? For the love of VANITY!!! ^_^ no more buying eye kohl = less wrinkles around the eyes!! too!!

Just Me & Him

2008-08-01T12:29:00.006+08:00

Yesterday I had dinner with the birthday boy.......just me and him. Liza's having a busy week schedule thus she was unable to join us. Anyway, we met up @ The Curve after work cos' he had to get some things from Ikea and I! accidentally. got. a. belt. from MNG while waiting for him :-p

Thought of going to Toni Roma (apart from the ribs, they have wonderful cocktail selection from their bar) but the boy didn't want meat so we ended up in Itallianies and we could still get my Mojito from the Laundry next door!

Conversation followed :-
"Oh....so that's the laundry you always go to?"

"Yes....the bar....not the laundry laundry for washing clothes"

"So we should open a real laundry next to it.....and anyone who wants to go in to the bar need to chuck atleast 1 item of their clothing for washing" :-p

"Yeah and you can call it the REAL LAUNDRY"

heard both chuckling......

And the other side of Itallianies was "The Apartment" restaurant......
"And that's The Apartment. We should open up The Condo next to it"

hahahaha......cerita buduh from us.......

Grinning burfday boy!

That's how early we had dinner.....7ish
Tucking in!

My yummy Mojito and Yon had his Heineken

What 1 glass can do to my circulation.....but check out those arms...hehehe....got shape ody

Overall we had a nice short dinner and walkabout before leaving for another session with some friends in Solaris Mont Kiara. We went to check out the new joint called The Goddezz. Just lending support to a friend's nephew who co-owns the place. Anyway the location was superb but the club needed some twicking to make it more cosy and classy I guess........

Birthday Boy!!

2008-07-29T12:25:00.002+08:00

HAPPY 32nd BIRTHDAY BROTHER!!

P/S you ain't heavy.......... you are all muscles hehehehe..... lihatlah muka anda 2tahun yang lepas........and tell me my bro........^_^

Hawaiian Nite @ The Lagoon Surf Up

2008-07-28T17:13:00.028+08:00

Last Friday right after work, we headed down to Sunway Lagoon for Giants 64th Anniversary Celebration. Theme was beach wear which we originally planned to be spotting in that day. However, with the unpredictable traffic we had to scrap that off and headed straight over to the venue.

AND we had the experience of our heels sinking in the sand which was a ha-ha-ha moment likewise the feeling of being overly dressed in a sand and water surroundings. But being extremely hungry we didn't care much about it at that time but walked straight in only to be greeted with an orchid garland and coconut drink. Just like in "Fantasy Island!!" and the food spread didn't dissapoint us either......we were greeted by bbq smoke warfing around the air. Lamb meat was on the rack sizzling........yummm.......and I'm not even a lamb eater.....

ALOHA!!!

What 10KG can change

2008-07-25T11:24:00.001+08:00

Early March this year, me and Eiji took a challenge of getting ourselves packed solid with muscles and that included us forming our 6packs a.k.a Durian Mid Section! However.......to date, only 2packs is visible ;-p. Not easy!

We started our regime by hitting the gym atleast 3-4 times a week followed by diet laden high in protein. Well, all was fine in the first 2 weeks until we got bored of eating dry chicken fillet and boiled veg everyday. So we slowly started to cheat twice a week but compensated it with longer time on the treadmill and cross trainer. And that was what sabotaged our aim towards the 6packs. Cos the law of getting fit is to avoid all possible kind of BAD FATS and processed CARBS. Think Hillary Swank training for Million Dollar Baby and you get the gist of it.

Anyhow, not all was a total lost........ we did manage to loose weight. Me 5Kg and Eiji more than 10Kg and this is how he looks like before and after.

BEFORE

6months AFTER

Okay..... he does look hungry in this photo but we were waiting for our food at that time. Yes.....we cheated! But throughout these journey, he had been more dicipline in comparison to me. I can't stay away from my Meehoon Kicap curry! But good news is, my muffin top is no more visible...... ^_^

p/s And I hope we are well prepared for our mountain climbing in just 16more days!!!

Just To Say Hi!

2008-07-22T20:19:00.003+08:00

Sorry for not having anything posted here since last week but the heart is bothered and so the mind can't really think about being creative.

Anyway, whatever I had gone through these pass days, only time will heal. I have good people around me and I thank you for your time and support especially my S&M guardian angel.... :-) Margarita was great!!! Yummerz!!

At the same time had an awesome experience that I will share with you guys one fine day.......really it was awesome!!! Smiles on my face will remain where it is for now...... xoxoxoxo off to gym now.......

p/s Just bought 3 mighty fine dresses ....... so need the body to work it out!! ^_^
