Me, Myself, and I

Thursday, 31 December 2009

Hello! Just a short post to wish everyone Happy New Year as my bf is taking a short nap before we head out and brave the traffic and madness of people. Hehe! Tonight on our agenda (for now) is dinner at this ribs place called Riblee's at Hartamas. You guys have to check it out! The pictures in there will definitely make you drool! I went there once with my team for our little orgy (haha! Yes, our team calls our catch up/bonding session lunch outings orgy. A few more random facts about our team - me and Jamie are known as the right and left ovary respectively)

Oh! Bf woke up.. and we should get going anyways. Probs gonna take us forever to get anywhere.

So guys,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

See you all next year! =)

Monday, 28 December 2009, 11.58PM (So, by the time I am done with this post, it'll be 29 Dec 2009)

So my bf managed to get us free tickets to watch Sherlock Holmes. The only downside to it was that it was in Berjaya Times Square - right smack in the middle of town. I thought, "hey, tickets are free to a good movie, let's not waste it". So we left work early (around 6ish) because we didn't know how bad the traffic would be and we had to pick up the tickets at 7.45pm (movie was at 8.30)

On the way there, my bf decides to call someone about work and starts talking for about erm... 5 minutes? Next thing we know, we get flagged down by a policeman for being on the phone. Hehe! Luckily enough, we managed to get away without a ticket nor having to pay any 'kopi' money. =P

We got to the Times Square at bout 7.30 and decided we could grab a quick bite to eat before collecting the tickets and the movie. Having been there less than 5 times in my entire life for the both of us, we didn't know what Times Square had to offer and therefore we looked for the directory. After going through the list, we decided to try some Ramen noodles in Mr. Ramen.


The place was in a deserted little corner with only a few tables occupied. I guess that should have been an indication of how nice the place was but we were oblivious. We proceeded to look at the menu and sit down to order our food. Bf decided to order Miso Ramen and Cincau as a drink and me, Black Pepper Udon and Ice Lemon Tea.

The drinks came pretty quick. I took a sip out of my drink and it tasted pretty good. As I kept drinking though, I felt something in the drink. I took a look inside the glass to find little black spots at the bottom of my glass which I couldn't tell whether it was actual tea leaves or dirt. We called the guy over to tell him and without saying anything, he took my glass and wanted to change it for me. As he was walking away, I looked down to the ground and saw a COCKROACH walking towards me! OMG! I freakin' freaked! For those who do not know, I freakin' hate cockroaches. I think my worse nightmare would be to stuck in a room/bathtub/area where there was cockroaches everywhere!

Anyway, I jumped up and walked away while the waiter tried to step on it! At the stage, I was getting very uneasy and uncomfortable. Now, the black stuff in my drink seemed to be more probable that it could have been dirt! Anyway, he came back with my drink. I checked the bottom of the glass again and I THINK it still had SOME specks of dirt but decided not to worry about it giving them the benefit of the doubt that it could REALLY be tea leafs.

Then our food came. My bf's ramen came first and he told me to try it first. So I did. I picked up my chopsticks, took some noodles and shoved it into my mouth. My face changed instantly. Not only did the ramen not taste nice, the ramen noodle itself tasted like MUSHY CARDBOARD! OMG! It was the WORST noodles and gross-est food I've ever tasted! What the hell?! Who serves food like that?! I don't know how long that store has been opened, but they definitely SHOULD NOT BE OPEN ANYMORE! God! I won't be surprised if me and my bf get stomach ache tonight or tomorrow! Anyway, then mine came - Black Pepper Udon. It was alright - noodle wise. At least it was not mushy. But taste wise, *shakes head*. It tasted like nothing even though my noodles seemed to have been covered in blackish sauce. My bf in the end went to take some soya sauce for us to add into our food and surprisingly enough, I think we fixed the taste of BOTH our meals. Far out, they should just hire us!

Anyway, by far the worst dinner I've had in like... geez, I don't even know the last time I had such bad food! I didn't want to finish my food and my bf even said "wow, it must suck really bad for you to not finish your food huh?" and yes - the answer to that is YES! Gah! Please please PLEASE, DO NOT go there for food at ANYTIME - even if you're like starving to death!

Was gonna do a little review about Sherlock Holmes but got carried away with Mr. Ramen. So think might just keep that for the next post. Sorry to be so wordy, but did not have any other pictures to post up.

Merry Christmas everybody! I know this is a day late but better than never right? What did everyone get up too during Christmas eve? Wanna know what I did?! Haha! In all defense, me and bf were trying to get our asses to 1U but it was freakin' impossible to get any parking! Think we were going around for like 20 mins! So we gave up in the end. We were suppose to go back to his place and get a lift there instead but we fell asleep! Haha! Anyways, then, I woke up and played this (see picture below) pretty much the whole night - LOL!


Anyway, then on Christmas day, my parents decided to move into our new house. So was moving stuff and doing the normal rituals in the morning. Had a lunch thing at a friend's place after and then a unplanned trip to "Tokyo". For those who are thinking, no - not Japan. It's this overpriced seafood place in Selayang where they do really good caramalised prawns soaked in oil. LOL! When all of us finished, all of us felt like some artery was blocked. But they were good though. This time however, the prawns we got were alot smaller than the ones we got the last time and they were pricey as heck!

I can't believe my sister is blogging more than me! Haha! So I better get my ass moving and start blogging too eh?! Haha! So what's been up? This has been up:


We've been trying to find a home for this cute little thing which my maid brought home about maybe 2 weeks ago now. She apparently got it from her friend. Had been trying to get more info as to how, when, why they got her but her story was always unclear. Her name has changed from Siti, to Cookie, to Brownie, to Lucky, to now my maid calls her Cookie Brown. LOL.

When she first came, she was very timid, afraid of people, accept Fina, most probs because she was the one that fed her. However, after staying with her for a while, she's gotten better with people. She's also the only dog that can play Gracie. She doesn't mind getting squashed a little by Gracie's huge paws and she actually even tries to take a stab back at her!

Think my sister did a good job blogging about her progress, so will leave you with links to her write-ups:

1. Doggie Looking for Home
2. Doggie Looking for Home Part 2
3. Doggie Adoption Update

Think sister has added quite a few photos of her in her post already but for if anyone is interested, there's an album on Facebook that has her photos. Not sure if you'll be able to see it if you're not my sister's friend.

At one point, my maid's friend actually came to take her home because my dad did not want to keep her. But her friend said that she was going to take her back and just let her loose! How cruel! You can't just let a dog go loose! They'll die out there with all the cars! Plus, this doggie is actually quite smart. After only a few days, she already knows how to go out and come back to my house on her own! Although, whenever she does that, it gives me a heart attack because I'm always scared that she'll get run over by a car. My maid begs to differ. She says that she's smart and fast and will be able to run away from the cars. :S Anyways, then my dad's friend wanted to take her. My dad's friend doesn't actually have a good track record in the house. Most of us do not like him because of what he did to my dad before. Plus, looking at him now, we do not think he's capable of taking care of himself let alone a dog! So, we or rather I did not allow him to take it home.

Anyway, is anyone else interested?? Do let me know if anyone is! We've gotten her used to human contact and is getting better now! :D

Am waiting for my ride to work. Need to go in early to settle some stuff. So have just been sitting around in my room clicking on my laptop aimlessly. Trying to see whether Google picks up my blog but it doesn't! Haha! and I wonder why?!

Going to Singapore on Saturday! Wheee!! Got my Singapore half mara this weekend. Been looking forward to it for ages! But you know what sucks?! I went to do a 15km last weekend to see if my stamina could still take it and... the good new is, I finished! Meaning that during the run, I should be fine because usually adrenalin gets the better of you during race day. The bad news is, i freakin' hurt my ankle! :( My bf now won't let me run if it continues to hurt..

Oh please ankle! Heal up quick! Hehe..

I just realised something about my blog. I don't seem to categorise them at all. Am wondering whether I should start. But all my posts are pretty random. I wouldn't know where to being.. Hmmm... Like take this post for example, should I put it under "injury", "running", "bored", or even "random"? Haha!

Ever had to freakin' reverse on a highway with moving traffic?!! Well, I did! OMG, scared the be-jesus out of me!!

The story goes like this, I borrowed my sister's car because my brother borrowed mine. I wanted to drive to my bf's place in TTDI. So, as I was crossing the toll on the Sprint highway, I automatically took out her Tag and went through the Tag toll. Once I got to the gate, it said that it could not detect the card. So, I thought it must be faulty because my bf's tag is like that all the time. So I reversed, stuck my hand out to make sure that the sensor could sense the tag but it still didn't work! THEN, I looked at it and realised that there was no card at all!! I raised my hands and waited for people to come and get me.. I even took out money so that they could just accept payment and let me through. but NO! they freakin' asked me to reverse!! From 1 end of the toll to the other end of the toll for cash payment!! WTF!! This was like in the middle of the afternoon with constant traffic!! I was so damn scared that I had already started sweating in the car!!

LOL! so that's the story of my weekend! Haha.. :P

After 1 hour and 45 mins of hard work.. what does everyone think of the new layout of my site?! I hope it doesn't screw up like the last template I tried to use which didn't let me load my blog from windows! So *crosses fingers*

Actually was looking for a doggie template because my original plan was to change template.. and then introduce the 4 extra family members we have (one of which is roaming around the house and disturbing Fina as she is trying to clean our rooms - HAHA!) But oh wells, guess this will have to do? Right? :P

Little updates about me since my last post:

1. Ran the dukethon and got 66th even after starting late by about 5 - 10 mins?! Haha! woohooo!!

2. Trying to prepare for my Half Mara in Singapore but that's going down the drain. Haven't had the time to train! :( and if I did, it was all used to catch up on sleep! :( So people pray that I don't die half way ya! Anyways, think I have my own ride sorted out when I reach the finish line.. *winks*

3. Went Go-Karting which left me a bruise on my freakin shoulder cause it was such a bumpy ride! It was fun nonetheless but I still don't think it's worth the money I paid. I could have bought shoes that could last me 2 years with that money! Haha! Oh wells... :P Here is just a photo of the whole group. Me being stupid again somehow managed to delete the ORIGINAL photo after uploading it into Facebook so I had to save the Facebook copy back into my computer and the quality of the photo deteriorated by like 10 times. *slaps hand to forehead*

Haha! Ever tried having a conversation using your MSN status?! Haha.. check out the picture below!
Haha! My colleague started it. For some reason, she said I was bouncing around the office yesterday. Somehow I don't seem to remember that. Might be because of the coffee and me talking rubbish on IM. Anyhow, on my other colleagues MSN, so happens that our nicknames were in the right order. Cool?!

And only today, my brother and sister was doing the same thing (having a conversation) because for some reason both of them could not see each other online.. when I could see BOTH of them online! Haha..

Holy Cow! Just realised it has been another month since I last update my blog. Hmmm.. am now trying to think if anything exciting has happened since then but I can't seem to remember - must mean I lead a boring life huh?! Anyways, this coming weeks should be quite exciting, and if I remember to go trigger happy with my camera (when my bf passes it back to me that is), I will definitely post up some photos! So stay tuned! :P Like as if I'm damn interesting like that.. hahaha..

The only thing I can think of blogging about right now is the DUKETHON! Woohoo! Haha.. how often does 1 get to run on the freakin' highway for a run! Well, now is the chance! For only 5 bucks, you get a t-shirt, PLUS the adrenaline rush for being able to run on the Duke Highway! Check out their event page on Facebook! You will also be able to download their registration form. So sign up today! Closing date is on the 14 November! Oh, and the run is on 22nd Nov.


Meh, time to sleep! Good night!

Managed to score myself 2 tickets to the T-Music Festival and I decided to bring my ex-colleague Nicole (which btw, this photo is thanks to her as well). When I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to go with me, he said "sure honey, why not" but once I told him it was at least 5 hours, he gave me this erm, disapproving-omg-i'm-not-going-to-sit-there-for-5hours-look! Haha! Mind you, he's a banana and does not listen to many Chinese songs at all.

20 August 2009.

Well well, for those who read my last entry, they might be thinking how crazy I was. Because when I told other people, most of the responses I got would go something like this: "you're mad" or "I would even be at work right now", or (this is my favourite) "I would have died... how are you still standing" - Haha! Well, truth be told, I literally died the week after. I was surprisingly fine on Monday except that I think I came home from work and just crashed for the night. But on Tuesday, haha! Now, this is where all the excitement began. LOL!

Actually, no wait! I remember now. On Monday, I actually started to feel my throat getting a little scratchy. But I drowned myself with water that day and surprisingly by the end of the day, my throat seemed fine. Then, I was meant to go out for dinner with friends to eat some really good Selayang prawns. I was going to FFK them because there was just too much work for me to do but in the end, got pulled out to go with them. The prawns though.. OMG.. *drool*, they are to-die-for, and in my case, I literally died after that. They were fried with sugar, and get this, FRIED CARAMALISED SUGAR! The amount of oil in the plate made it look like soup but oh boy, was the "soup" yummy! All you had to do was just mix that with rice and you're set!

The next day, my throat started itching again. My boss told me to g oand see the doctor because she said that she can't afford me getting sick - so I went. He gave me an MC but I still left the office at about 5.30pm. The next day, I got worse. Started to get a fever, was meant to go home on time, but ended up in the office till 8.30 and was meant to go home... but ended up going to pasar malam.. LOL! The next day, I really felt like crap, and I asked if I could go home at about 10ish and so I did. came home, rested, and at about 3ish, my boss called to tell me that someone at a company we went too for meeting had a confirm case of H1N1 and she was getting worried I had it too and made me go get tested. I went to Pantai, but they said I could only get tested in general hospitals. So, I waited for my mum and sister to get home and they took me to UM.

We got there at about 6ish. Seriously, this was the most painful process I had to go through. I first had WAIT to tell this nurse how I was feeling and only then would she enter my name into the system for me to REGISTER to see a doctor. Then, I had to WAIT to get registered. Then only was I allowed to wait to be consulted. I had to WAIT to see the nurse, which took me less than 5 mins cause all she did was take my tempreture, pulse, and blood pressure. Then I had to WAIT to see the doctor, at which she only asked me a series of questions and classified me a "low risk" and didn't even want to test me even after insisting. She then prescribed me some medication which I had to go and pay AT the register counter, then go to the pharmarcy and then WAIT again for my medication to be done. Far out, by the time I was done, it was close to midnight! I hadn't even eaten dinner yet! I was telling my sis and mum, even if I DIDN'T have H1N1, I would have probably contracted it from someone who has there. And the amount of time spent there, I think if I spent it at home sleeping, I would have probably gotten better faster! Haha!

Anyways, here are some photos my sister took of me while waiting cause she got bored. LOL! Hmm.. something seems to be wrong with my comp.. the photos don't seem to be uploading.. oh wells! I will try again next time.. =)

So my last weekend was a blast! Haha! I had about 9 hours of sleep in 2 days, went out with 2 bunches of friends, and 1 hell of a weekend! But I swear never to do that again. I nearly died on yesterday! So the gist of my weekend went like this.

It's been a almost a full month without updating! Sorry to those that actually bother to read my blog and to those that have complained! Everytime something exciting happens, I make a mental note to blog about it but it never happens! Haha!

It's been almost another 2 weeks since my last post! I've been so busy that I din even have time to blog! I won't even be able to finish this blog before I head off for my run but I thought I should actually start if not I would never update at all till like next week or something. Haha! What have I been doing though? I seriously don't remember. But I somehow seem to remember that I haven't been home for dinner in the past 2 weeks! LOL! My mum is starting to give me looks already but I can't be bothered! Haha! I'm living life and I love it! :D Life right now should stay like this! I remember eating at home earlier this week and sitting on the dining table actually felt awkward! It felt like I haven't been on it for a long time! Haha! was then projected unto a big screen. Apart from that, dinner was also catered! *drool* I was so hungry by the end of if that when it was time to eat, I took 2 plates of food and gobbled everything down. This did not include desert! It was sooooo yummy! The ones I remember eating was the lamb curry (shit! Just by thinking of it now makes me want to eat lamb curry for dinner! Haha!), the beef, the salmon, some chocolate bread pudding - I don't remember exactly what it was called. Haha! To summarise, I was in food heaven! 

Gah!! Finally! after mucking around for maybe 2 hours, I finally managed to get this post up and running! Far out! Whoever said that MAC was easy to use should really take it back! All I wanted to do was freakin' highlight my name and it wouldn't let me! Something like this would have taken me like 2 mins if I was on the normal windows! In the end, I had to ask a friend to do for me! I don't know how he did but he did the job! LOL! 

Haven't had the chance to blog all week last week cause I've been so hectic! Even now, I think I should be asleep but thought I should update since I haven't done so in a while. Haha.. but after tonight, my definition of "hectic" should really just be kept in the closet! LOL! At least I don't have to be in 2 different places in 2 days! Haha.. :D

Been wanting to blog for the past few days but somehow I always end up doing something else. Hehe.. Anyway, here I am now.. =) Something for my dear friend to read once she gets back from OBS! Haha!

The past 2 days has been a totally different and exciting experience. 

Currently Listening : Looping songs from iTunes which currently has 179 songs - 1/3 of which could possibly be Wang Lee Hom songs followed by Lin Jun Jie's songs! Btw, he's pretty good as well! If you need me to recommend any songs, ask me! :D

Currently listening: Wang Lee Hom - Xin Tiao

It's been 2 weeks since my last post. Alot of things have happened since then. Some good, some bad, some I don't know what to do.


My "good" thing would be going to the Lee Hom concert! I have now officially gone head over heels over him. I've downloaded all of this most recent albums dating back to 2001 (I think - can't remember now). I have googled images of him and even created a little album on Facebook just about it. I have also youtube'd him the whole night! Haha..


The concert was SOOOO good! The sound was good, the effects was good, the music was good, his voice was good, his face is even better! Haha! It's one of those concerts where you know he's not lip-synching because he changes the tunes and tempo to some of his songs! He played the guitar, violin and the piano! Omg.. I nearly died when he came out with the Violin! Oh! I nearly died when he was playing the piano and singing the songs I really loved as well! Gah.. screw it! I just nearly died the whole concert! hahaa.. :P I would have put a picture of his concert poster but I thought that picture wouldn't do him justice as to how good looking he is! Haha.. Oh yeah, he had like 4 HUGE ASS portable LED screen which they focused on him pretty much 70% of the time I think? They would also create different effects on the screen! Gah! All in all, just a super good concert!

Oh, I have to quote one of my friend's sayings during out crazy aftermath of the concert. You guys might not think it's funny but it really cracked me up so bad when I read it. So, I was just talking to my friend who went with me to the concert abt all the crazy stuff we've been doing for the past coupla days (everything Lee Hom) and out of the blue she says this "we were not even major fans before this!!! now it's like we've converted into another religion!" HAHAHAHA..! This other quote was when I told her I found this chiq who blogged about going to the Lee Hom after party but didn't/couldn't take a photo with him due to some reasons I can't remember. She then said this, "Shit! I'm going to attack him if I see him!" LOL! tsk tsk.. violent chiq isn't she?! Haha...

Oh, and lastly, I got offered a job today. Something I wouldn't mind doing for once! The pay isn't good.. it's quite low actually but at least it's a start into what I would like to try and do! Apparently the pay will go up after probation as well! So yea! It's for a media firm doing digital advertising? Haha.. I've told my parents SOOO many times what I'll be doing that I can't be bothered typing it here again now. I'll give you guys more details when I start working! I actually had another interview with another company but that company has been screwing me over to many times that I seriously can't be bothered waiting anymore. What if I don't get the job in the end? Although that company does have a better package.. *shrugs* meh.. i can't do anything now.. already accepted the 1st one.. and I'll be starting on the 18th! I better enjoy the last few days of freedom!

Eyes are closing on me. Feel kinda lethargic.. Haha, think it was from my run in the evening! Did 9kms today! Woohoo!! but still not enough. I have a 15km run next weekend!! Wish me luck! :D Nite everyone.. =)

Been tossing around in bed for an hour but can't seem to fall asleep. My brain obviously turns to start thinking about other stuff which are of no importance whatsoever. The topic for tonight is "how to make your blog interesting enough for people to follow it religiously?". 

Am too tired to blog about the whole story, so am just going to cut it short - my eyes are closing as we speak. I think I might have an interview coming up for a job which I'm really interested in and I really hope I get it. The problem is that I do not have any experience in the field what-so-ever and it's kinda shitting me out right now. So my dear friends out there, please pray that I get the job please!! 

The only reason I'm here now is because all the shows I'm streaming online are stuck! Yes - I meant it when i said show in plural! Am streaming chinese dramas online now. I started watching one, but that got stuck - the vid couldn't start playing. Then I started on another one (or rather, trying to finish it cause I was watching halfway while I was still in Aus) and that is taking forever to load. And the last one which I started last night is NOW ALSO STUCK! Dammit! Now all my shows are lingering halfway! Grrrr... 

Ohhh.. I got fooled alright. I thought I would have 1 year without someone playing an April Fool joke on me but no! I had to get it right towards the end of the day! Anyway, so this is what happened. 

Trust. Trust is a really big word. According to dictionary.com, trust means alot of things if used in different contexts but the ones I want to point out are:

1. reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing;
2. a person on whom or thing on which one relies;
3. charge, custody, or care.

Today I just found out that my trust has once again been violated. Today, I just found out that the one person whom we've been living with for the past 22 years have been violating that trust from time to time. I don't know whether I'm more upset for the things I've lost or more dissapointed in knowing that she could still do that to us after such a long time. This isn't the first time as well. We've given her many chances but it still seems to be happening. Although we don't have proper proof that she did it, there is no one else in the house who would do it. When it all started, we thought it was her friends that did it because they occassionally came to the house and we let them. But when confronted, she denied that her friends did it. And if it wasn't them, doesn't that mean she's kinda pointing towards herself?

I was really upset about this. I even started tearing. I didn't want to show my dad and sister (because they were in the car) but it really makes me wonder, do all people that live with you apart from your family are out there to try and hurt you in some sort of way? Be it - emotionally, or monetary. Because that seems to be what's happening to me in the past year. I seriously wonder whether this will leave a scar in me. Would I be able to trust people again?
