Intimacy or Intricacy ?

Endings and New Beginnings

2011-11-10T14:24:00.010+13:00

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back."

-unknown

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Every ending is a new beginning. The good times were good while it lasted, and the bad... we dont have to deal with anymore. Thank you for making it sure for me, I wont hold back no more.

Hello world, I'm ready.

And you, I'm ready to take on the world with you.

Last Kiss

2011-10-31T22:56:00.000+13:00

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
Told me you loved me
So why did you go away?
Away?

I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement
I ran off the plane
That July 9th
The beat of your heart
The jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is that
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember
The swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did

Because I love your handshake
Me and my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day when I don't miss those rude interruptions

But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is that
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips

So I'll watch you live in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and town
But I never planned on you changing your mind

So I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is that
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips

Just like our last

Gloomy days

2009-02-21T03:25:00.001+13:00

taken with a disposable camera during company trip to fraser island 20/12/08

Hello world, this is me, fading away, turning grey.
Still alil catty, still alil impatient, still alil whingy, still myself.
A whole lot more boring, still me nonetheless. :)

My life still revolves around work, missing my loved ones,
and yearning for my old carefree lifestyle.
I miss all my girls, especially my pig whose in neverneverland.
All the way in uk, where I can never afford to visit. :(
Someday, I will walk out of my boring routine,
and have the courage to live as a struggling wanderer.
In actual fact, work isn't as bad as I've portrayed it.
It's challenging, keeps my brain active, my pocket full, and I sincerely do have fun.
I guess a part of me will always refuse to let go of my youthful days,
which holds a big part of me forever.

It's amazing how different life is once you grow up.
Big and tall people now seem so much smaller and fragile.
Adulthood is just so different from what you've pictured it to be.
My fear of losing my loved ones seem to grow rapidly and significantly.
You never satisfy everyone you love anymore.

I think, I'm actually afraid to grow up, afraid to lose my loved ones.
Maybe I'm just feeling emotional.
I know I'm always this way when I write.
But writing is my only outlet as I don't express my feelings verbally no more.

Tomorrow will be a better day,
and I will be my goofy and happy self again.
Till then, let me drown my sorrows and engulf myself in an emotional state for now.

Tomorrow, will be a better day.

Dearest bigbadwolf,

Splash away the blues

2008-11-28T20:35:00.006+13:00

It's so refreshing diving into the water, splashing around, feeling calm and unnerved again. Been feeling the pressure and frustration taking its toll on me. I feel so restrained and limited, sigh, the choices you are forced to make in life. How do you know which path to walk on or what is right or wrong. Why are there no guidelines or life manuals provided? Sometimes I feel like a blindfolded woman forced to take on a path. As I struggle my way towards the end, I get pricked and prodded on, I trip and I fall, yet I still continue to walk even though I dont know how ardous or long my journey will be. What is it that keeps me going?

Determination, or really, denial or false hope?

What is it with me...

2008-11-27T01:21:00.005+13:00

i feel so

i feel so

...maybe it's high time for vacation.

While browsing through some photos I uploaded to my lappy the other day...

him: hey hey, scroll back again!
her: huh. *scrolls*

him: no, back! back!
her: which one? *what's on your mind monkey butt*

him: hey look!! i'm skinny! bwahahaha
her: HAHAHA!! lies hunny lies :D

so this was the picture he was refering to hehe.

Been having bbq for two weekends in a row now, look how cute and tiny the bbq set is!

Bigbadwolf's all time favourite, prawns, prawns and more prawns.

Everything tastes so good when you cook on this instead of the pan!

So what have I been up to? Work, catching up with friends during the weekends,

lazing and doing household chores. T_T Yes, my life has been so mundane.

Went to a friend's marriage registration a few weeks ago,

and also had to say goodbye to a girlfriend whose gone back to hong kong for good.

T_T why is everyone leaving!

All the best baby, looks like we'll need to start recruiting again, noo come back :(

Ashley is also going away during christmas hols, oh how I hate you baby! I'm going to be stuck in brissie trying to make the best of what's left here for me. So far, I've only got noosa and fraser island planned out, what's everyone else doing for christmas and new years?

p/s: dont complain pig, at least i've updated for you! ;P

The five minutes management course

2008-11-25T18:09:00.006+13:00

Lesson 1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'

'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.

'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2
A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'

'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'

Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'

'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough str ength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..

Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3. And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

THUS ENDS THE FIVE MINUTES MANAGEMENT COURSE
Pass this on to bright people who have enough sense of humour to take it. :)

whoooopsie, haven't been blogging in ages, anyone missed me?
i just don't seem to have the time and effort anymore.
my folks are here to visit, and my dearest papi has already come and gone.
i'm left here with my mummy and sis for one more week,
before everyone leaves lil ol shaz alone again.
sobs, goodbyes are what i dread most when people come to visit, im so bad with goodbyes.
was planning for a big vacation for end of the year but decided to cancel it now.
everything's so overpriced and my xmas hols aren't long enough.
i want to go to china, taiwan, bali, korea, japan, macao, malaysia or thailand again!
our economy has been a bitch, nothing is as easy no more.
if only work wasn't as stressful.
how i miss my carefree student life,
why oh why did i grow up so quickly?
i need someone to colour my life, why is my life so dull and mundane?
always rushing here and there, getting stuck in traffic, working against time,
i long for the life i had, those happy times travelling,
sleeping in, relaxing and doing things on impulse.

oh how i miss walking on sunshine.

My 22nd Birthday

2008-05-24T20:00:00.014+12:00

Pictures speak a thousand words so I'll just let the photos do majority of the talking.

I tried my best to arrive as late as I could so I wouldn't have to get so drunk.

In the end I still had to have one glass of beer each with most of the people in the room.

This is the first time sweetie mama came back to the scene as well haha, much appreciated babe!

I tried to take as many photos as I could so I don't have to drink so much as well haha!

Drinking, singing, playing, and photos = bliss.

When the clock struck 12, thank you everyone for the cakes, loved it heaps, yummy yummy.

I forgot to make a wish because I was so excited and nervous. Excited because it was my birthday, nervous because I had to face the jug soon.. ;P

Bigbadwolf had to finish cutting the cake for me because his birthday's next, some chinese tradition.

Oh man, and the annual routine begins. Mummy close your eyes hehe!

Obviouly I wouldn't be able to finish that! It's too big!! All the girls helped out hehe love you all! :P

The jug was passed back to me again and I had to finish what I could... until it all came out ew..

Bigbadwolf cleaned out the jug afterwards for me hehe.

Bigbadwolf had to give me a birthday kiss due to peer pressure haha. :P

Thanks patrick for taking most of the photos, you the man valentino jose (he keeps insisting that this is his new name -_- ).

I ended up drinking and drinking again, and eating lotsa chicken wings as well haha. That's all folks, the others are too embarrassing to be put up over here. You can see the rest on my msn space.. cheerios :)

Baby Making

2008-05-14T22:17:00.005+12:00

Got this in my mailbox from bigbadwolf, there is not one dirty word in it and it is hilarious!

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.'

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...'

'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting you.'

'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?'

'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat'.

After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we
start?'

'Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.'

'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!'

'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased
with the results.'

'My, that's a lot!', gasped Mrs. Smith.

'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.'

'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly.

The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled
out a portfolio of his baby pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said.

'Oh, my God!' Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.

'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with.'

'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith.

'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look'

'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.

'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.'

Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?'

'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away.'
'Tripod?'

'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long.'

Mrs. Smith fainted.

好期待以前的生活﹐
以前開朗又活潑的自己。
為什麼人總是需要長大呢?
長大後有好多苦惱好多事情都要擔心。
上中學時﹐要擔心OP﹐
上大學時﹐要擔心GPA﹐
上班後﹐要擔心拿的到好的薪水﹐
薪水負了又要擔心能儲蓄多少﹐
儲蓄後又要擔心怎麼用錢去發展。
我的天啞﹐跟本就是擔心不完啦!
還是一步一步來﹐
不要去想那麼多好了。
反正擔心不擔心還是要一樣走這條路。
我希望自己能開開心心的過生活﹐
不要每天都煩著一些有的沒有的事情。
嗯﹐北比們﹐我們都要一起加油﹐
一起努力為自己去開心的生活。
加油加油, 我們一定行的!

Surface Issues

2008-04-11T18:26:00.000+12:00

I woke up this morning to bouts of rashes on the right of my neck.
Wtf, why is this happening again!!!
The last time this happened was when I was playing mahjong at Kanny's.
Why is my skin so sensitive? It's exactly like my mom's sigh.
The doctor said it's due to the dry weather.
He told me to refrain from wearing clothes made of wool.
Well I did,so what's going on?!
Is anyone like this as well... or am I just too special?
It looks like a patch of tiny mozzie bites it's horrific.
I wish I could just buy a new pair of skin from a shop and replace it.
They'd be hung on hangers for your viewing convenience.
If only... maybe in the future. T_T
Who wants to donate a pair of skin to lil ol' shazza?
I only like it flawless please.

Waiting for bigbadwolf to come back home from work.
Why does he have to work till 8pm every thursday?
I'm drinking apple and passion fruit juice,
surfing through fonts to find something sexy for a project.
How come my bff can't get into my msn space?
I've added her to my permission list.
Is it because she's in china? How weird.
Hooray, it's finally friday tomorrow, weekend here I come again!
I've got a mountain of dirty laundry to wash,
And a birthday to attend.
Why am I already dreading the end to the weekend?
I've spent so much time on photoshop with that project,
my eyes are so heavy and tired.
I think I should step away from the computer for abit,
after all tomorrow's another whole day to be in front of the computer again.
I better scoot over and watch tv now,
not that it's any better.
I like to watch simpsons, futurama, family guy and oddly,
girls of the playboy mansion.
I'm just being totally random at the moment,
because I'm bored and zoning out.
Anyhoo, I'mm go watch tv first,
see y'alls later.

These Pumps Weren't Meant for Walkin'

As you can see, I'm heeding your advise and blogging again haha. See I haven't blogged in so long because I've been so lazy to edit photos of my trip to Malaysia and Thailand that it puts me off blogging. And when I'm not lazy, I'm too busy doing household chores. Damnit, what have I become?

Went to the gaming and hospitality expo today at the coast and came back with a pair of sore feet no thanks to my oh so cute pumps. T_T I need a foot massage! How I wish I was back in Thailand where an hour of foot massage only cost us less than ten bucks.

The killer heels.

Oh well, at least I know now when I'm tired, I don't eat as much during dinner. Either that or because I had hungry jacks and ice cream cake for lunch. Yes I know I slipped and not proud of it! The ice cream cake was because it was one of our colleague's birthday. Sobs, I think I need to be more disciplined like sweetiie hey? Everytime I have something evil for lunch she'd tsk tsk me and give me the crappolas, biatch! I can never have weetbix for lunch man. :P Pure torture!!! Respcet yo, ali g style hahaha.

Ooh, I think I will be heading to The Met this saturday for my high school bubi's birthday. Anyone going to the met by any chance buzz me aight. Okay, time to turn in now, night night darls. zZz

Today my desk calendar says...

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. -Albert Camus

I stared at the quote, nostalgia taking over me again.

I have never really tried to search for my own happiness.
I've only been slaving my week days away to make some moolah to live and be happy.
That doesn't make me materialistic. I'm only being realistic.
I see life the way it is.
Truth to be told, I've always been this way since young.
It may bother you, but that is why we are so different.
You were always prepared for the worst while I always hoped for the best.
Either way, we both weren't wrong.
It made sense both ways.
I try to make the most of what I have and live my life the way it is.
I get upset about things at times but most importantly, I do get over it.

As the saying goes...
If you look at what you do not have in life, you don't have anything.
If you look at what you have in life, you have everything.

So be positive, and try to be happy. :)

I hope that one fine day... you can be genuinely happy again.
And when that day comes, I'll look forward to seeing you again with open arms.

Away we go, Away we go.

We were actually suppose to fly on sunday night instead of saturday morning. Airasia sent us an email informing us that our flight was going to be delayed by 3 hours. So we wrote an email to request to fly the day before and they arranged for that to happen straight away, no extra charges incurred. Two thumbs up to that!

One thing about flying is that I can't sit up and sleep with my back straight like all other passengers. It's like as if my head is a bowling ball and I need to rest it on something to hold its weight. I always tell people it's because my head is so full of knowledge and ideas i.e. brains, that is why I need to rest my head to sleep, tee hee.

I love travelling with bigbadwolf and I need to have him next to me because I get to...

have my very own human pillow wahaha! How cool is that. I feel like a little kid though, because the cousins I travel with like ruby and yenyen can sleep upright whereas I can't. Yenyen ended up being my feet warmer as I so conveniently tucked my feet in neatly between hers hahaha. I never sleep on the plane if I travel alone, unless I get really tired and I accidentally fall asleep for an hour or something.

Oh and meet my other two travel mates,

ruby and yenyen hahaha. Contrary to how the pictures all turned out, they are actually very bubbly and fun to travel with. We were communicating on our nintendo ds lite drawing pictures and writing to tell ruby to flirt with the girl sitting next to her because she kept watching us through out the whole time. I think she must think that we ruby is very interesting.

Anyways, I ended up having instant noodles on the way back to malaysia because bigbadwolf caught a glimpse of the instant cup noodle on the cart before and got really excited because he said that he saw tom yum instant noodles. So I ordered them. Well I ended up with ayam (chicken) noodles. He thought that ayam was asam, and that asam meant tom yum. -_-" Why is my boyfriend so stupid? They were worse than the ones I've had from the canteen during high school, yeuck.

It didn't really matter though, because when we touched down, daddy took us to the famous chow mein and seafood restaurant straightaway, it was was heaven on earth.

Hello World!

2008-02-26T17:38:00.004+13:00

Hey hey hey, guess who is back in town? I know I haven't updated in a long long time. Most of the time I'm tied up with work and being lethargic, otherwise I'm just busy living life and being a wee bit too lazy to blog. I also just got back not too long ago from my trip to Malaysia and Thailand. It was awesome foursome!

T'was a very short trip though, spent most of it visiting relos and gambling during chinese new year, thailand in between, and then back to kl to eat and shop, eat and shop, eat and shop somemore. It was great seeing the family again, I miss them so much! And to my bootiful and sexay friends, sorry for not meeting up, I didn't have time to at all. ;( Nevermind, we have Airasia now ~~although it sucks to the max~~, air tickets will be so much cheaper! Looks like I'll be finding it very hard to decide between visiting the family or going elsewhere to travel whenever I have enough annual leaves to spare hey. I've used up all my annuals to a negative, so I gots ta be a good girl and stay in brissie for now.

I gained 2.8kgs to be exact during my vacation, not that you need to know. Just letting you know so you don't have to tell me when you see me. I do know, you know? ;P Just tell me I'm hot instead bwahaha.

Anyways, I got to get back to work, will blog again soon. Happy new year all! :)

Tangalooma Take 2 - Sea

2007-12-31T00:26:00.001+13:00

After our long and sweaty journey back from the desert, we got back to the resort to rest for a while. Being a troublesome pig, I couldn't take a nap as I'd sleep for hours if I closed my eyes, so I started unpacking our little luggage to get ready to hit the pool.

Bigbadwolf finally woke up and we all headed off to the pool to take a dip. It was so cool and refreshing as I had sand everywhere on me before from sand toboganning.

The view was amazing. We spent the evening watching the sunset, and left after to get ready for the dolphin feeding session.

The dolphins were wild bottle nose dolphins, therefore we weren't allowed to pet them as they may not be immuned to whatever bacteria we may carry. I was really excited at the beginning before we got to Tangalooma as most of you would've known with my constant ramblings of hoping to touch and swim with the dolphins.

But when it was finally time to feed the dolphins, the dolphin that I queued to feed the fishie accidentally bit on my nail. Of course I didn't bleed or anything! It was just their beak-like snout that snapped on my thumb that made me so terrified! Look at the photo haha, I was watching the dolphins every second to make sure they didn't get to me! :S

How (un)fortunate of us, the person supervising us with the dolphin feeding thought he'd be nice and let us feed the dolphin a few more times. I was so horrified I just dropped the fish into the water each time which made it worse because the dolphin started getting closer haha, stupid me! Here's a proper picture of us smiling. I'm not sure what my colleague was doing though hehe. We headed back to our rooms again for a quick shower and change for our company dinner after.

My choice for the night was the butterfly chicken fillet with mushroom sauce. It was superbly delicious. Bigbadwolf stuck to his usual t-bone steak medium rare. The girls had some red and white wine while some of the boys kept to their cold beers. We retired early that night to get ready for the next day. To be honest, I would classify the resort as a 2-3 star motel with an awesome view. The bed was damp and the room was furnished with very old furnitures. It didn't really bother us though since we spent so little time in the room.

The island on the otherhand is extremely beautiful, a picturesque sight. The next morning, I overslept and woke up only when sweetiie rang me. I dashed out of my room for the buffet breakfast in 5 minutes still in my jammies hehe, but with a long jacket to cover myself la. The buffet was pretty impressive as I wasn't really expecting anything that great. We had everything - from bacon and sausages to pancakes, hash browns, and etc. What a hearty breakfast.

The weather was really gloomy in the morning, so alot of our colleagues decided to take the early ferry back home. The rest of us decided to stay longer thanks to our manager's determination, and I'm so glad we did in the end. The weather took a turn for the better and we managed to take the dinghy out for a swim at the shipwrecks.

We walked around taking photos, cam-whoring everywhere before it was our turn to take the dinghy out. We had to rent two dinghys since we were only permitted four people per dinghy babies included.

The cool breeze and amazing view.

The mommies stayed in the boat to mommy their hubba bubbas while we dived in to explore. It has been such a long time since I've been out in the sea! We decided to go back ashore since the others wanted to rest by the beach to waddle around where it was shallow.

Looks can be deceiving, but I swam all the way from the sea side to the ship wreck and boi was it really far away. I was absolutely exhausted hahaha. I wish I had better stamina, thank god I had the life jacket on the whole time. I would've sunk in the last five minutes heading towards the ship wreck. ;p

Our dinghys finally arrived and we got our photos taken haha! We didn't get onto the ship wreck since we didn't have any flippers or flip flops to wear. After about an hour, we got back onto the dinghy reluctantly to had back to the shore. Our time was finally up, and so was it the end of our short vacation.

I had a very good time and really enjoyed our little short trip. It was a great bonding time for all. Bye bye Tangalooma, hopefully I'll come back again some day. :)

Tangalooma Take 1 - Sand

2007-12-14T08:00:00.000+13:00

On the 7th of December 2007 was when our company organized a christmas trip Tangalooma Wild Dolphn Resort in Moreton Bay. We met at 9.30am at Holt Street Wharf to catch the 10am ferry to our short sunny vacation. It started off with a nice breezy day followed by a burning hot sunny day after.

Our baggages were all mixed up when we checked in. After hunting down for our luggages and changing into our bikiis and triangles (tee hee) ;P, we were finally ready to kick some ass! We started off with buffet for lunch and then headed off to the bumpy bus ride to the desert while the others decided to stay behind to relax at the beach.

Boy were we glad we didn't eat too much. Would've had a major puking session with that bumpy ride, haha. Sally sweets, Ted and their bubs came for the company trip as well. It was really fun playing with her cute bubba, baby Brayden looks exactly like his momma!

The Desert. That's bigbadwolf taking a dump into the middle of the tracks.

Sandboarding babies!

Bigbadwolf looking all professional on his way down the slope.

I on the otherhand was masking my nervousness grinning like goofy. It was a pretty steep slope and I was totally sandwiched towards the end. Have you ever tasted sand in your mouth? All I can say is, thank god sand is tasteless haha. It wasn't as fun as the time I went sandboarding at Port Stephens with my bro. When we were at Port Stephens, the slope wasn't as steep so we could sand board as many times as we wanted to, and do it however way we wanted to!

The sand slopes or watchamacallit were really steep, I think only only one of us managed to make it up twice. Here are the boys chilling with their drinks after one go. :p

Wee, that's our ride!

Bigbadwolf and I at the Sahara, tee hee. It's so beautiful!

Where's my prince charming, come pick me up!

A small group photo of us and the two bubs.

I love you baby!

Victor and Paula's Wedding

2007-11-29T22:41:00.000+13:00

On the sixth of october this year was my oldest cousin's wedding, Victor and Paula. I absolutely loved the lighting at the wedding reception, purple pink haha. What I love about weddings is the family gathering. My family came over and I had such a great time, I think I cried for three days consecutively after they left. Bigbadwolf called me a big baby, shook his head and tried to tuck me into bed, but to no avail. Sigh, I dunno why I'm such a baby too.

On a happier note, I'm going back to Malaysia for holidays next year with bigbadwolf, yenyen and ruby woohoo. I asked my mom if she wanted to go to go to Thailand with us since we were planning to but she snobbed me. I can't believe it! Who wouldn't want to spend time longer with such a wonderful daughter? My god. I think she must be blabbering nonsense without even thinking. She said that she's been there twice already, gah, I'm not gonna stop trying to convince her. Worse comes to worse, I'll make my dad go and then she'll probably wanna tag along then tee hee. Mission will not be impossible! Oh crap, I think I need to book the tickets soon so it doesn't get too exxi.

I hate booking my flights early. I get excited too early and I can't stop daydreaming about malaysian and thai food while working in the office. I'm already imagining myself stuffing my face silly and shopping like there's no tomorrow, sigh. Can't we fast forward to two months later so I don't have to wait so long?

Anyways, here are photos from the wedding. It took me so much effort just to do this because I haven't edited photos and blogged in such a long time. Looking back at the photos, I miss my family so much. :( Patience, patience my dear. I will try to be patient.

Making Mountains Out of Molehills

2007-11-27T18:30:00.002+13:00

Why are some people so sensitive? Why do they get so worked up, upset or cry so easily? Something so trivial, so small can generate such a fuss for people. Why can't everyone think for others instead of always believing that they are not benefiting in any situation they are in?

There are little things that is done for you that can't be seen directly. Why get affected over one thing that doesn't even happen frequently at all? Not everything can include you, not everything has to be your business, not everything can be reported to all the time. If there is time, it is fine to do things like that, but when it gets busy, it takes too much time to keep you happy all the time. Early in the mornings, noon, evenings, and now everything in between as well?! There are procedures to follow, but not everything can go according to the book. It also depends on situations, the people around you, and how things are at the time.

Sometimes it is okay, you know. Nothing is really that complicated as it seems. I think it is about time to let your hair down. You can't ask for respect, you have to earn it naturally.

Ups and Downs

2007-11-08T22:01:00.000+13:00

It has been ages since I've last updated. The past few weeks have been so emotionally draining. I've felt anger, disappointment, sadness, anxiety, hope, bitterness and sympathy altogether. I have to say, it is an emotional overdose no one should have to go through. It's been a tough roller coaster ride for everyone but there is only so much we can do. The rest is up to him, god bless. It is so saddening for all, I can only hope that he will wake up from all the bad influences and realise what deep shit he has put himself into. I pray that God gives his immediate family the strength to pull through this. We still love you and will always wait for you to come home... a changed man.

xx

I haven't had such a productive weekend in a long time, I feel so motivated and healthy thanks to my cousin stef who came down from sydney. Last weekend, we did yoga in the morning, made lunch at home, went rock climbing, made dinner, hung out with the crew, cleaned up the house, and took our lil coussies to the movies to watch Game Plan. It would've been so pleasant and relaxing if we didn't have to worry so much about a certain issue. Guess what? I absolutely love rock climbing! It was my first time climbing, but definately not my last! Hopefully I will feel motivated enough to go every week. Here's a photo of us, its at Montague Road in Westend.

It was awesome awesome! The only downside to this is that it costs twenty six dollars each for us to climb, thirty for first timers. Exxi, exxi! I think I saw a promo somewhere stating that you can climb for thirteen bucks per week for as many times as you want but I'm not sure. Will check that out when I have time. More pictures to come, will do so when I have time and if I feel motivated enough to hehe. Till then, ciao amigos.

Stupid Mofo

2007-10-19T08:15:00.000+13:00

At times, I really think that I'm a doofus from clutter land. Before mom left, she bought us a loaf of extra soft bread with sesame seeds sprinkled on top of it. It was really very delicate and very, very soft. It's usually something I wouldn't buy since I'm such a cheap arse. I'd just go for the cheapest loaf.

So as usual, I was toasting my bread halfway at our neighbouring company's kitchen when a sudden thought occurred to me. Hey! Maybe I should check to see if it was burnt because the bread is so soft and thin, it would get toasted even quicker right? Oh my god, am I like so smart or what? beams.

The toaster was placed high up on top of the microwave so I had to tilt it horizontally to be able to take a good look inside. To my horror, the two toasts popped right out of the toaster two seconds after I tilted it and shot right into my eyes!

Oh god, I didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. Why do things like these happen to me all the time! You can always, always count on me to walk into a wall, trip in front of a crowd, or buy an ice cream cone and have the ice cream fall right onto the ground. Funny thing was, I caught the two toasts before it could land on the floor, and I couldn't even remember trying to catch at all!

Please please, don't let there be a camera anywhere to witness my bimbotic incident! And if anyone should have caught me red handed, please pretend you didn't see anything and forget about everything!

When You're Gone

2007-10-18T07:58:00.000+13:00

I've been on a hiatus, as my family came to visit for the past few weeks.
My dearest mommy and sister just left last night to head back to malaysia...
leaving me with a broken heart to nurse, and an empty space to fill.

CRY CRY CRY.

I'm back at work as usual, this time with a pair of puffy eyes and an empty soul.
Oh don't you hate it when your near and dear ones come to visit?
Because you know they have to leave you in the end.

I miss you guys so damn much already,
can't wait to see you again.

*empty* T_T

Old Habits Die Hard

2007-09-25T19:25:00.000+12:00

I'm off to Sydney in a few hours.
Why does it always feel like my chest is closing in before a flight?
I should learn to take it easy. Breathe hunny, breathe.

There'll always be a table tennis session going on in my head before I head off to the airport.

Did I forget my facial wash? ping no. pong
make up kit? ping no. pong
shampoo? ping no. pong
flats? ping no. pong
toothbrush? ping no. pong
work papers/ brochures? ping no. pong
Will it be freezing? ping no. pong
Should I bring my trench just in case? ping umm yes. pong

I don't usually forget things but I guess I'm just a tad bit too careful.
I'm the kind of traveller that overpacks instead of underpacking.
But I'm getting there hehehe.

Always make sure you leave plenty of room for shopping please.
Otherwise you'll have to pay a hefty overweight fine.
I learnt my lesson after my continuous trips to and from taiwan last year.

Okay, I better run, bigbadwolf will be here any minute.
The family is arriving on Friday as well.
Looks like it'll just be cobwebs hanging around here for now hey.

Mwah, I will be back soon enough.

Of Liars and Dancers

2007-09-20T21:03:00.000+12:00

Now I know card messages can be such a hoax.
I just helped a guy friend write a card for this chick he digs. -_-"
Somehow, I feel like I've done something wrong to all the women out there.

But then again, you do know his heart really is there in the first place.

That's what the fuss is all about right?
Oohh... I so sowee!

xx

I really really dig So you think you can dance?
Bigbadwolf and I have been gawking at all the episodes we've watched so far.
I can't even pick a favourite couple anymore, let alone a solo fav.
My muscles seem to be throbbing each time I watch.
It just gives me so much adreneline rush to go out there an achieve something.
Oh why didn't my momma take me to dance classes when I was younger?

I swear if I ever have kids, I'll sign 'em up for dancing lessons straight up.
Good exercise, great motivation, and lotsa fun!

Okay okay, the episode is back on, enough ramblings for now, see ya peeps!

Where's My Party At?

2007-09-18T22:53:00.000+12:00

The weekend before I fell sick, I finally got to shake it at the family, not that there is much to shake haha. I think Ashley had to pry me off the dancefloor to go home at four. "One last song, one last last song" she cries. :P Hehehe, it has been a while since I've clubbed properly okay. As long as the music and the drinks were coming in, I was happy to stay on the dancefloor all night long.

@The Valley

Then on Saturday, bigbadwolf and I were off to Hamilton. The cocktails there were awesome! I've been naughty mixing all my alcohol. Champagne, beer, shots, and plenty of cocktails. I was pretty shocked that it didn't get to my head straight after. Either that, or I just didn't feel anything anymore haha. Bigbadwolf left early while I sat there stuffing myself with plenty to drink. I hate myself for loving alcohol so much.

@Hamilton

I'm off to Sydney next week for work. It's going to be a packed schedule again. Let's hope my sickness goes away and I'll come back home in one piece. My parents and my sis will be arriving next weekend as well as all my aunts, uncles and some of the visitors who will be here for my cousin's wedding. God, how am I going to finish cleaning up the whole house before everyone gets here?!

Is there any cheap labour around to hire for housekeeping? Somebody, help! >.<

2007-09-18T21:48:00.001+12:00

Wahaha, I can't believe the things we get at work some times. I couldn't contain my giggles when I saw this. Yes, you can have this under order number ~~pussy~~ pusey. I mean seriously, is there any other way to pronounce this without sounding crude at all?

The Story of Bourbon Coke

2007-09-13T17:03:00.001+12:00

I've been down with the fever the past two days so I had to skip work and stay in bed all day long to recover. Last night I got really bored and frustrated lying in bed doing absolutely nothing at all as my head was still aching, so I decided to order bigbadwolf to laze around with me on the couch in the living room downstairs and finish up the korean drama yenyen lent us weeks ago.

Bigbadwolf placed his newly purchased bottle of cola in front of us while munching on his bowl of mee goreng, what a piggo. I on the otherhand had to endure watching him eat all that crap while drinking only water, eating plain porridge and taking my much needed dose of meds.

Half way through the drama while bigbadwolf was sipping on his cola...

Her: Baby? Are you drinking coke?
Him: Yes... drink your water la babe
Her: I could've sworn I smelt bourbon and coke!

Bigbadwolf burst into a big cackle of laughter and I sat up straightaway eyeing the crazy man suspiciously.

Her: Wtf was that?
Him: You got that right. It is bourbon coke!
Her: What?! Bourbon and coke? 'Sif okay.

Him: It is okay. Burp and! Bourbon? ~~Bourbon~~ Burp-and coke, wahahahaha!!

0_o!!!

The sick bugger belched and I wasn't even aware of it, in my face too that sonnuva bbb.. Maggi goreng and coke, tis so evil! I magically rose out of his lap in an instant, inheriting all the superpowers there is in this world and beat the crap outta him with the measly pillow I had in my arms.

Bigbadwolf died in a pool of laughter, buried in the corner of the couch and devilishaz lived happily ever after alone.

The End.

p/s: it really did smell like bourbon and coke, so nasty ;( i'm officially scarred for life.

Why is it that when you're the last to leave in the office,
your senses tend to magnify and detect all that you weren't aware of before?
The eerie silence, faint movement sounds, the cold room temperature,
the reflected shadows suddenly looming on your blank computer screen?

Where the hell is bigbadwolf?!

I wanna go home!!!

I'll Huff And I'll Puff

2007-08-31T01:02:00.000+12:00

Guess what was delivered to my door last night by a very bubbly and cutesy ~~santa's lil helper~~ coussie?

Okay okay I wrote that wrongly on the pic ~~wtf papa beard~~. It's Beard Papa's fresh and natural cream puffs! Oh how satisfying it was to shove it crudely into my face with all the rich cream oozing out from the sides, slurrps. I think I finished my share in like seconds hahaha, I'm such a glut! Bidbadwolf loved it too, I think it was his virgin puff too haha. He ate all the strawberry ones while I ate the normal custard ones.

Thanks for the little treat yenyen, it meant alot to the fatass pig in me wahahaha!

2007-08-29T23:59:00.000+12:00

Last night after dinner, bigbadwolf was acting quite abnormal as I was packing our lunch for work the next day. I asked him what was up and he told me he forgot to tell me something. After a while, he finally broke the news and told me that my external hard drive was officially dead.

I looked at him for a long time, tears inevitably streaming down my cheeks in two fat puddles. Two fucking whole years' worth of memories, two whole years' worth of photos, journal, design, collection, music, documents all gone down the drain just like that. Just like that.

You would think that I'd just stop there since there wasn't really any point crying over spilt milk. Well I chucked the biggest shit ever, accusing him of not reminding me to back up my hard drive, that he was at fault because he was always reluctant to let me back up my files in his computer because my hugeass files of photos were slowing down his computer when he was doing work.

Well I cried myself to sleep and then woke up the next morning a new woman. I was over it. I came back home from work today and hopped onto bigbadwolf's computer. I logged on and went through all the photos, nostalgia taking over me again. Without a sound, bigbadwolf took out my laptop and backed up all my stuff into his computer. I tried to ignore the big gap of nothingness in between 2005 and 2007 as I browsed through. Oh god, my heart is breaking.

Guess what I found while browsing through the photos in bigbadwolf's computer?

This was taken on Christmas 2005 in Taiwan. That's me being a drunken idiot after the christmas party, showing my love for KFC. I am really, such an idiot.

Rubber Fashion

2007-08-27T22:51:00.000+12:00

Got this in the mail the other day from stephie poo. What has the fashion world become. This is from the condom fashion show held in Beijing. Curiousity got the better of me, so I ended up googling it to see what the hell this was all about.

Apparently the exhibiton of the latex wedding gowns, evening dresses, bikinis and all the other garments on World Population Day (11th July) was to promote prophylactic use of condoms in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

This would be considered the first ever fashion show of its kind. Models were decked out in these condom coutures held at the Fourth China Reproductive Health New Technologies and Products Expo, sponsored by China's largest condom manufacturer, Guilin Latex Factory.

Creative, but very bizarre. I still have my doubts on how realistic this can be. I mean like, please literally wear condoms people! ;P

Suri Cruise is Cute as a Button!

2007-08-26T03:04:00.000+12:00

Is it just me, or does everyone find Suri ridiculously cute and sweet looking as well? She is by far the cutest hollywood baby to me. I'm such a gossip junkie and I find cheap thrills in reading silly hollywood goss whenever I'm bored. I just had to share these photos I surfed into of Katie Holmes and Suri in a cute polka dot dress in Paris. Suri looks so happy and adorable, I just wanna pinch her cheeks and fling her around in the air hahaha.

She reminds me of bigbadwolf's niece, Sachia!

Except this is a photo of Sachia when she was much younger and her eyes are alot bigger haha. She must have grown so much now, I wonder how she looks like now aiyee. Oooh why are babies so cute when they're not pooping or crying?

Two years...

2007-08-23T07:55:00.000+12:00

It's been two years since you last left us, how we miss you so. Last weekend when I saw you, you asked me why I've been so long. I could only see half of your face, and you looked so sad and so pale. I squeezed your hand tightly and then you disappeared. I woke up startled with tears in my eyes, my heart pumping twice as hard. It may just be that I have been thinking about you, and that twenty third of august was just around the corner. Maybe it was all in my mind, and that I pictured it all in my head. Either way we all miss you, I hope you're doing well. I love you, always. xoxo

Hope you liked the malaikou and chrysenthemum tea this morning, sorry we couldn't stay long..

Excess Baggage

2007-08-21T22:58:00.000+12:00

Oh my good gawd!

Make up doesn't work anymore, looks like I really need my beauty sleep.. like right now.

goodnight T_T

Ladies Night Out

2007-08-20T23:54:00.000+12:00

At Friday's on a friday night.

Cocktails were crappy.
Atmosphere was crappy.
Music was crappy.
Crowd was crappy.
Staff was crappy.

But our girls ~~were~~ are awesome. <3

What's On Your Mind Monkey Butt?

2007-08-14T00:57:00.000+12:00

I know, how totally random. For some reason this line keeps repeating in my head, I can't remember where I've heard it from now. Ah well, you know I'm fulla crap. Oh wait! I think it was what the parrot said to the baddies from Home Alone, when the guy thought it was a woman showering, only to find that it was just a poster cut out of a woman with a sexy booty, bah.

Met up with everyone last night at Antarctic circle for Winnie's birthday. Happy birthday girl! We had a really late dinner as we wanted to wait for the 9pm hotpot buffet to pig out. There were too many of us so we ended up dividing the boys and girls at different tables. Alas, there were also too many girls so in the end, all of us decided to squeeze in and share our hotpots as well. It was so good since I haven't had hotpot in ages, slurrps. We ended up chatting till midnight and then I had to rush home to finish up with my packing and get ready for work.

Anyhoo, I'll be flying to Melbourne for work tonight, so no more updates till I return. I'll be missing ekka hols while everyone's going to the dance party tonight boohoo. Oh well, there'll always be something to complain about in life. Which reminds me, it's just so unfair. When women travel, we need to bring so much shit whereas for men, they just need to throw in a few pair of clothings and necessities and tadah, they're all done!

Lets see what I've packed in my tiny suitcase...

Clothes, stockings, a pair of flats, belt, conditioner (my hair will frizzle from the stupid hotel conditioning), hairbrush, facial products (make up remover, face wash, toner, sunblock, day cream, night cream, screw the eye cream for now), cotton wool, makeup, a face towel, pads just in case, work material and some bits and pieces. Will you look at the list, oh the horror!

Then in my neverfull MM..

I have the phone charger, my mobile phone, company phone, tissue, diary, pen, scarf, small bottle of perfume, wallet, camera, telfast, mints, vitamins, name cards, pieces of paper, bottle of water, and my e-ticket.

-_-"

And this is excluding all the things I need to bring for work! Which is alot since my other colleagues couldn't check in on time as they got to the airport late last night. Oh just shoot me, I am so dead.

Aights I gotta run, till then, be good and stay safe peeps!

Of Burnt Stockings and Good Fun

2007-08-12T23:42:00.000+12:00

Here are some photos from the weekend before, where all of us headed to Echoes for our weekly dose of ~~boost~~ booze juice hehe. Tell me why oh why is beer so refreshing, sigh. And why oh why are karaoke places the best place to hang and have our friendly bondings? You can talk crap for as long as you want, sing and shriek outloud, and play like a crude man without people judging you one bit. :p I can so predict the future of my beer gut. That's just great!

The boys turned into full fledged camwhores for some reason, and they kept asking me to take piccies of 'em. Most of the photos turned out pretty embarrassing and kinky hahaha. I bet they regret doing all that now. I didn't post up the stupid photos they took hahaha. See I'm so nice! I just might though if you make me wahaha.

Here are the decent ones. ;D Cathy and I were sitting side by side, and then there was this guy who walked past us with a cigarette in his hand and he burnt a hole on both our stockings at the same place, growl! That was my one and only pair of slutty stockings from Taiwan -_-". I really did liked the lacey bit where the stocking ends. Cathy was so peeved too because that was her favourite pair of stockings as well! Ah well, that's what you gotta deal with when you've got a room fulla drunkards. He isn't in the piccies. :p

I forgot who I was shouting at or saying at the time haha! I think it was at dan. ;p

Listen Up Ladies

2007-08-10T00:02:00.000+12:00

If you still havent heard of the cervical cancer vaccine, you better listen carefully now.

"There is great news for young women and girls in Australia - a new vaccine that can protect them against the cause of most cervical cancers. The vaccine protects women against certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which are known to cause 7 out of 10 cases of cervical cancer and 9 out of 10 cases of genital warts.Starting in April 2007, the Australian Government will be providing the new vaccine free to all women and girls aged between 12 and 26 through the National HPV Vaccination Program.

The vaccine works by immunising women against certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that are known to cause 7 out of 10 cervical cancers. The vaccine also guards against the strains of HPV that cause 9 out of 10 cases of genital warts.HPV is very common – it affects men and women, and 4 out of 5 people will have it at some point in their lifetime. The virus lives on the skin, so it can be spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact. That means women can still get it even if they practice safe sex, or only ever have one sexual partner. Usually the body clears the virus by itself but in some cases cervical cancer can develop.

If you are under 27, you can participate in the National HPV Vaccination Program. From July 2007 to June 2009, you can get the vaccine free from your local GP or community immunisation clinic. Even if you are already sexually active, speak to your GP about getting immunised. You may still benefit from the vaccine because there is still a good chance you have not yet been exposed to the specific HPV types that can cause cervical cancer. Unfortunately, the vaccine doesn’t prevent all cervical cancers. That’s why it’s still very important for all women to keep up to date with regular Pap smears."

Go visit your nearest doctor now while it's free and before it's too late! I've just booked mine in for a vaccination shot next saturday with ashley. Do pass on the good news to all your loved ones and make sure they don't procrastinate. :)

Tag for Charity

2007-07-26T22:28:00.000+12:00

I was tagged by yvonne, a tag for charity.

Originally from idham's blog:

"I am inviting you to participate together with me. For every person who complete this meme before August 26th, I will contribute rm127 on your behalf to the Darul Izzah Orphange, Bangi."

The meme is about completing at least 17 out of the following 27 sentences.
*These can be copied and pasted to your entry*

If you are tagged, you need to write an entry related to the meme. At the end of your entry you just need to tag as many person as you like. You will then leave a comment in their blog to let them know they have been tagged. And to include this message, "By doing this meme you are contributing rm127 to the Darul Izzah Orphanage".

1. A person is only as good as ... being true to him/herself and being considerate in the actions he/she partakes.

2. Friendship is always ... something I cherish throughout my life. No matter who, where or why it happens, no matter how long or short the friendship is or was, it will always be a part of me, and it'll always be something that I hold on to deeply.

3. To love is to ... be selfless and to love whole heartedly.

4. Money makes me ... a slave in our material world. Money is living, money is happiness, money is making life so much more easier. Whether you like to admit or not, it sure is a fact of life.

5. I miss ... my carefree days where I didn't have any responsibilities to burden me at all. I could act on impulse, I could travel whenever wherever, the word consequence never existed in my dictionary. I also miss the times when I never loved romantically (not family love). You don't get tied down by love, you don't have the ups and downs that comes with love, and you'd never have experienced how it feels like to be in love to feel that you're missing out. Everything is just about you, you, you and you. What you did then was just 100% based on your own happiness, no one else. Yes I know I sound like a selfish bitch haha, but really, that can never happen again. I'm just reminiscing btw, not a permanent thought in life aight.

6. My way of saying I care is by ... spending time with you in front of the computer/tv for long periods of time even though my back is hurting and I'm bored to my wits when really I just want put on some mask and lie down in the spa and fall asleep. :p

7. I try to spread love and happiness by ... practicing to love and be truly happy and satisfied myself.

8. Pick the flowers when ... you love me? you love me not?

9. To love someone is to ... put them before yourself willingly, and it makes you happy knowing that they are happy.

10. Beauty is... only skin deep. Lol 'sif. Beauty is lotsa Sheiseido facial care, plenty of RMK, Bobbi Brown and M.A.C make up, topped up with a wardrobe full of awesome stuff to wear. Hehehe, no one tells you you're so gorgeous when you've just woken up from bed with your bed hair and cranky poo face. Okay maybe not if you insist that your beau still wakes up and stares into your eyes and say you're the most beautiful thing they've ever seen haha. ;p

11. When I was thirteen, what I remember the most was... my high school life in maz international and all the friends that I used to hang with. I miss all my friends alot from Malaysia. Now everyone is just everywhere, it's so hard to keep up with the world when it's so damn big out there and the airplane tickets are just so damn exxi.

12. When I was twenty one, I remember... now. Hehe, I'm twenty one la. It's when I started my 8.30am to 5.30pm working life, missing out on all the good fun and carefree lifestyle, looking forward to weekends, annual leaves and pay cheques. Time really flies when you're not keeping tabs.

13. I am most happy when ... I've had a good night of sleep, gone on a romantic date with my man, spent time with my girlies and guys laughing and having good fun together, being with my dearest family, and when I'm on vacation.

14. Nothing makes me happier than ... that silly grin on your face, the proud look and satisfaction on my parents face, the shopping bags I take home from a fruitful spree, and the carefree smile on my momma's face when she forgets to worry about everything for like, that one minute, haha. If you don't already know, my mom's a worry wart but I love her to bits.

15. If I can change one thing, I will change... my lack of self motivation in striving to be the best that I can be.

16. If smiles were ... a money making machine, then I ... would just sit there and smile all day. Ooh, how nice that would be, then again my jaw would probably go numb from all that smiling. (this was a hard one la, so please spare my bull hehe)

17. Wouldn't it be nice if we could... freeze or go back in time like hiro from Heroes? You can change your destiny, go back in time to right the wrongs, and there wouldn't be anything in life you can regret about.

18. If you want to ... achieve something, then you have to ... act on it.

19. Money is not everything but... it is everything else.

20. The most touching moments I have experienced is ... just indescribable. :)

21. I smile when... I want to convince people around me that everything is alright.

22. When I am happy, I... get all jumpy and giddy, and I do silly antics that no one in public will ever see. ;P That's when I am really, really happy.

23. If only I don't have to ... work, then I wouldn't be leading such a monotonous lifestyle.

24. The best thing I did yesterday was... making bigbadwolf happy. (: Other than that, I didn't really do anything much but work. =.=

25. If I ever write a book, I will give it this title, "Alcoholics Anonymous", and have something totally irrelavant to the title. Isn't that the trend now?

26. One thing I must do before I die is... to achieve satisfaction, to travel around the world, and to reach that inner peace in myself.

27. Doing this meme, I feel like ... I was doing an exam. I've got this bad habit of getting stuck in a question and not finishing up the others before getting back to it. I also feel uncomfortable when I don't finish every question. Lol, how random.

And i tag you kind-hearted souls:
Any kind-hearted bloggers and readers out there who wants to make a difference. (:

"By doing this meme you are contributing rm127 to the Darul Izzah Orphanage".

Don't forget to drop a comment on idham's post so that he can keep count!

Where is the love?

Infected

2007-07-25T23:14:00.000+12:00

Oh man my laptop is seriously screwed. I caught the trojan from Ian and now my msn messenger is acting up. It's sending random messages to every single person on my list stating that I found Jessica Alba's naked photos. And some people really believe that I'm sending it. Why would I la, duh. Go get your own porn. -_-" The reactions I've gotten from the boys on my list are like yeah bullshit, or sending me question marks, or telling me to send the file again lol. Get real okay!

Thing is the stupid worm, trojan, or whatever it is keeps multiplying even though all the techy bois tried to scan and thrash it. Oh boi oh boi, all my work files, my work emails, all my photos, all my documents are all gonna be ruined! The technician at work says it's too much trouble to back everything up, so he'd rather try and fix it.

Michael and bigbadwolf had a go with it and we thought it was finally okay, but today it went crazy again, argh! The tech finally did something else to my lappy and now it seems to be okay, but man, you can never be too sure. T_T I'm so not tech-savvy so I really don't know what the hell's going on hehe. Please please lappy baby, please please heal. I need you to keep working for me to survive! You pay my bills, you do everything for me. I swear I'll cherish you now if you'd just heal. Ahhh.. freakin' virus, bah!

My Beloved Sister,

2007-07-23T01:01:00.000+12:00

Happy Sweet Sixteenth Birthday Shireen!!!

So sorry that I can't be there to celebrate this special day with you. Make sure you celebrate your birthday even though you hate birthday celebrations. You hated celebrating your birthdays since you were a toddler, that's pretty weird since all kids love birthdays! You're such a granny inside sis! :P I'll try and grant your birthday wish when you come here in october haha, lets hope I get some time off work to accompany you and the parents when you guys come for Victor and Paula's wedding. I was so tempted to put a stupid caption there saying, "eh shit that lizard better not fall onto my head", but it's your birthday post wahaha damn. Anyhoo, best of luck in your last year of high school, don't worry you'll ace your exams since you're such a smarty pants. :) Mwah, I love you sis, we'll have a belated celebration with you when you get here! Happy happy birthday, I'll be waiting to see you soon!

Lots and lotsa love,
ShazY

The Big Bad Pressie

2007-07-16T00:09:00.000+12:00

Shopping feeds the soul, well at least while the money's rolling in haha. The devil has finally convinced bigbadwolf and herself to go to the city over the weekend. I've been such a slack arse. The city feels so faraway with all the road works going on, and the fact that work is so much closer to home in comparison.

Bigbadwolf has been waiting for me to decide which size I wanted for my birthday present, and I've been such a fickle pickle since the small one's so cute, while the medium one is good for work and for accessorizing winter wear such as trench coats, jackets and scarves. Bigbadwolf thinks I'm such a lie because I always categorize everything with work so I can justify myself easily without having to clear my conscience. :P

I finally made my decision, and thank goodness I did as it was the last one left in the shop. It's the new season's Neverfull MM bag from Louis Vuitton. I chose the medium one, and I love it! Thanks babe, I heart I heart ~~the bag~~ you. :p

I also dropped by at Kit to buy the Cosmedicine Healthy Cleanser that missy_addie was singing praises of, and I ended up buying the starter kit for the whole facial product. -_-" Why do I always end up doing that. The cleanser is fantabulous, I keep thinking, omg am I done already? It's so different compared to the other make up removers, and it is a facial wash as well! We'll see how it goes with the other products as I'm only on day four at the moment.

Patrick is such a manwhore for bags, wahaha. This pic is hilarious! Okay, I'm lying, he was being silly because he was so plastered. I think he ended up this way because most of the girls kept asking him to pass the bags over to them, and he got frustrated and decided that he should hang it all over himself, although that doesn't really make sense haha. Ah well, I'm so happy, thanks for the bag baby!Y

Losing It

2007-07-15T00:21:00.000+12:00

No matter what you do, who you're with or what situation you're in, it is so easy to lose yourself at times in life. This can happen even when you're doing good things like making room for improvement, doing what's best for yourself, what's best for those you love and those who love you, the crowd you're in, what you are or what you have to be at work, the materialistic world surrounding us that feeds our physical being, or even just simply being nice.

I feel that most of the time under alot of circumstances, it is because we do not have a choice and have to oblige to losing ourselves in order to attain what's important or best for everyone. We may adhere or be accustomed to the differences in our behaviour, attitude or change in our mindset, and accept that who we are or what we're doing is still very real and true to ourselves, but really, are we?

Or are we really all just losing ourselves due to the downfall imparted by all the burdens and responsibilities we have in life as we grow older? Maybe, just maybe, we're not sacrificing to build a better world for our benefit, but rather, losing ourselves for the benefit of the world.

To Smokish Yen,

2007-07-13T00:30:00.000+12:00

Happy Happy Birthday My Sassy Coussie!

It's your big one eight, you're finally legal now. God look at you, you're all grown up now. It's crazy how time passes by so quickly. You're getting even cuter and prettier by the day oh. ;P Well I hope you have a jolly good one today, one filled with laughter and lots and lotsa pressies. Work hard, play hard, and I hope all your egged up wishes comes true hahaha. Mwah love ya cous, I'll catch you later.

Lotsa hugs & kissies,

ShazY

More than Meets the Eye

2007-07-11T22:40:00.000+12:00

I had two complimentary movie tickets from my company the week before, so bigbadwolf and I went and caught Transformers last week and boi, was it awesome awesome. I reckon it's the best movie of the year even though the year hasn't ended teehee. They've chucked in quite a few different movie genres into one i.e. comedy, chick flick, sci fi action movie, etc and by doing so, they've been able to capture the hearts of most of the audiences.

I thought it was going to be a straight laced movie for the blokes but damn, I sure was impressed. ;D I loved it! I can't believe I walked in to the cinemas with my heart on Hostel 2. Thank god I wasn't being a bitch trying to convince bigbadwolf to watch something else. Bumblebee is so cute period. I love the bit where he suddenly broke down and the sexy love song comes on bwahaha, chick was badass and pretty hot ei. The main character was funny as! I'm sure he is going to be a brilliant actor when he grows up, he is already so witty and humorous now.

And and how about that bit where the girl complains and ask why bumblebee would even morph into a piece of junk and he kicked them out and transformed into an even impressive looking car wahaha. I pissed myself laughing out so loud. Their transformation is so amazing, it just knocks fast and furious or tokyo drift's socks off. Sigh, I'm going to ask bigbadwolf to download the movies so that we can watch it over and over again. Movie of the year I tell you, if you haven't watched it, please do yourself a favour and go watch it now. Yes, now now now, no regrets there hunny.

xx

Last weekend was fantabulous. Ashley baby came back from her holidays from China and Hongkong at last! Thanks for bringing back my shopping list, mwah! Most importantly, karaoke-ing is so much noisier and fun with you back now haha. Welcome back babyY I missed ya heaps!

One down, two more girls to go. ;p I'm so green with envy, Janet's having the time of her life in Maldives with her fam while Cathy's gone to Malaysia as well with her boy. I can't wait for the end of the year for xmas hols now. Got to save save save, why is it oh so hard to save money. God I'm such a slave for money. -_- Does anyone have an antidote for shopping addictions?

Oh and just so you didn't know, winter's such an ass to wake up to in the morning. Two more days till the next weekend, forty-eight hours to go. ;P Can hardly wait. Time please pass by quickly, and when the weekend comes, can you please freeze for abit? Pretty please please haha. I lub you long time? ;p

This weekend will be yenyen's birthday. The week after will be Christina Aguilera's concert and when the girls get back from vacation, woo all the weekends are gonna be all packed out from now on. Anyhoo, blogger has finally uploaded the photos from our crazy weekend. Enjoy enjoy. I sure did!

p/s: I dyed my hair. Will post a clearer photo next time.

Curry Puffs

2007-07-04T22:15:00.000+12:00

Quite some time ago, I mentioned that I was planning to make curry puffs over the weekend as I was craving for some, turned out I really did. I think I'm just too in love with asian cousines! I went grocery shopping to make sure that I had all the ingredients a few days before. I couldn't find the round pastry skin so I ended up with triangular puffs instead hehe.

Chicken thigh, check. Potatoes, check. Curry leaves, check. Onions. check. Garlic, check. Pastry skin, check. Sauce, check. Spices, check. For some reason the potatoes here in oz always stick to the non-stick pan no matter how hot the oil is. -_-" Anyone care to enlighten me why?

I spent a good half a day working on the puffs, and hours later tadahh, it was all finally good and ready to disappear into my tummy haha. The skin was pretty flaky and nice, but I decided that the curry wasn't spicy enough. I'll have to make a note to myself to put in more spices the next time I make them again.

Here are some summarized visuals of the whole process.

This bit took a while, scooping, folding and kneading. I ended up with quite a few trays. Please ignore that shapeless piece of dough in the right picture. That was the creation of bigbadwolf. -_-" I really didn't know what he was trying to make haha. I got bored and decided to make some heart shaped curry puffs, while bigbadwolf played around with the rectangular shapes.

After all the hardwork, it was finally time to enter the oven! Phew. I had to do this over and over again since my oven could only fit two trays at one go.

Wahoo, golden brown at last! I left them to cool for abit before packing them up into different containers. These were delivered to all my lovers out there....not. I gave them to some family and friends. ;p

Teehee, that was how the heart shaped curry puff turned out in the end. Not too bad I guess! That's devilishaz trying hard not to add watery ingredients into the curry puffs, haha. I was sooo hungry, I can't believe I skipped dinner just to finish making all these!

The great tower of curry puffs.

The end.

There you have it, my first curry puff experience actually haha. Hopefully I'll learn to make prettier ones next time! Till then, I better nurse my sore throat for now. No spicy food allowed for now. T_T

Some day...

Cathy's Farewell

2007-06-28T20:39:00.000+12:00

Yes I know it's been quite a while since I've blogged. You must have missed me hey hey. I know you did, admit it! Haha okay okay I'm just playing da fool. :P End of financial year is keeping us real busy at work and when I get home, I'm absolutely poofed. Too tired to do anything else but collapse in bed. But the relos are here as well so it has been extremely hectic at home as always. Oh god I'd pay to have some free time alone to laze and rot.

I've uploaded the photos from the night before Cathy left. We went to Echoes to bid her farewell over booze and songs as always. Actually, as I type this now, the gurls are all in Hong Kong already. =_=" Shopping, eating and playing like nobody's business. Except for Kanny and I. Lucky I still have you baby! Oh boi, when do I get to go to Hong Kong again, shopping is just too awesome over there. How I miss my carefree unemployed days. Can't we just make money and have freedom at the same time!

Oh well, they are coming back with my list of shopping goodies so I guess it isn't that bad, heh I hope, fingers crossed. You better babe! Big thanks to you hehe. Come back soon, so I can have the goodies and have you too hehe. You know I lub you long time more than the goodies. :p

Okay okay time is slipping away I better stop with the bull crap, here are the piccies of the night.

Ooh and just to let you know, that is my glass of hahn ice with sour plums and a slice of lemon that I was raving on about before. Best recipe ever! Hehe I know that sounds really wrong but whatever. I'm. lovin'. it.

Somebody...

2007-06-15T19:05:00.000+12:00

Anybody!

I need a new mobile, mine's pretty much gone.

Should I go with 3G or Optus plan?

Actually, just tell me if you're using 3G or Optus and I'll see which one reigns. ;P

/edit

Yay, getting my own number back tomorrow with 3G!

A new mobile phone too.

Can't wait!

Thanks Lizzie!

2007-06-13T22:39:00.000+12:00

Last weekend was a funfilled and relaxing one. What a long weekend since it was a public holiday the following Monday as it was the Queen's birthday. All hail queen lizzie! On Friday night, we went out for dinner since Ashley baby was leaving us for her holidays in Beijing the next day. How lucky! We went for hotpot at Antarctic Circle and then our weekly drinking at Echoes after. As usual, we were really loud, and tipsy happy haha.

The next day was alot more relaxing. I lazed around at home, went out to eat with a friend whom we haven't seen in ages at little taipei. It was great catching up and seeing you again gurl. Went next door to eat dinner and then curled up in front of cable tv and fell asleep at gasp, eleven o'clock!

I woke up the next day at around ten, got ready and we left on our way to sunny gold coast. I was expecting it to be really cold since it had been raining the whole of last week but to my surprise, the weather was perfectly fine. It was cool and breezy, not necessary for a thick jacket at all.

Bigbadwolf and I went to surfers paradise first where I went to the circle of cavill to check out my MNG hehehe. I didn't see anything I like except for a suit for work. I dunno how, but bigbadwolf always manage to talk me out of buying something. -_-" I told him I couldn't go all the way to gc for mng and not buy anything at all. That just doesn't make any sense! But he managed to convince me to go to harbour town after, and I came back home with plenty of trench coats and a long sleeve collared top for work thanks to the end of financial year sales tee hee. That sure spelt satisfaction for me. ;D

We also went to check out on my birthday pressie from bigbadwolf at surfers 'cept I couldn't make up my mind with what size I wanted to get so I delayed it again. I'm still thinking. Big or small? Big or small? Ahh.... the things you can worry about in life.

Jupiters casino was just a stone throw away so how could we not stop by to try our luck? Temptation was too strong since we haven't stepped into a casino for a long time now. We ended up winning just on pokies so shopping, food, and everything we spent that night was for free, wahoo! I wish times like these could go on forever, it's so much easier on the pocket for a shopaholic grins.

We went to Hog's breath cafe after our productive session for some steak and dayam, things are gonna get nasty now. We were told that the wait was just going to be fifteen minutes and was brought to the bar for some drinks. Fifteen minutes turned to half an hour, then forty five minutes, then finally we were brought to a table. The waitress serving us only then mentioned that the prime beef was all gone for the night as they ran out ages ago, so the only option we had was just the normal steak.

We groaned in agony and settled for less since we've already waited for so long, our tummy was crying outloud. The food only came out half an hour later and by then, boi were we hungry! Along came a bunch of tipsy agro delinquents and they started making a big fuss of not having prime beef and that whoever paid to eat the normal steak for the same price are such turds. -_-

They were just sitting opposite us so it got really loud when they were giving all of us a bloody hard time. It was already bad enough. They sat there drinking champagne and cocktails, and shouting and cursing the whole night. Growl! Obviously we wouldn't feel good since we had to pay the same price but how is that going to help? We were given a choice of staying to eat (not that it was much of a choice since we've already waited for so gawd damn long) or leave straightaway. But we stayed, and you did too so shut up and just eat already! If you feel so deep about it, then just leave, geez.

After we finished our food, we went to pay at the counter, and the same bunch of rowdy boys were still chucking a shit there. All of us had to wait another fifteen minutes just to pay for our food. That did it, we're never going back to eat at Hog's breath cafe again. It was my bad since bigbadwolf wanted to eat buffet at the casino and I felt like steak at Surfers. Boohoo, sorry bubi!

We drove back after all the hoohas, and joined the crew for some drinks and singing therapy again. Ooo, you know how we always drink hahn ice beer with sour plums? Now if you add lemon with it, it will taste even better! Not many people like it but for the rest that has tried, we're officially hooked. :p

Okay I think I've been blabbering on for too long. For the last day of the long weekend, kanny, yennie and I went for grocery shopping to buy everything that was needed for the korean bbq. We ended up buying too much that we didn't dare to defrost the others. It was fantastic since I bought two big plates of ox tongue and that really settled all the cravings I had for korean bbq. Yennie was playing around with the frozen ox tongues and oyster blades, handling them like chips on a casino table while we were preparing bwahaha. See what the cooks get up to behind the kitchen! No la, our hands were very clean. :p

Here are some visuals so I can shut up for now hehe, enjoy!

Don't Leave Me Standing in the Cold

2007-06-12T22:51:00.000+12:00

The weather here in brisbane has been awful these past few days. Last week we had constant rain. This week is just really cold and dry. This poor 'ol piglet's health is deteriorating as the temperature decreases. How I hate the cold. Come to think of it I also hate it when it's really hot. Why can't we just have nice cool breezy days hey hehe.

Oh how I hate waking up early morn when the sun don't shine and my bed wont let me go without a good battle. My eyes are itchy and watering, while my nose is runny and numb. My skin is shrivelling up, while my throat is swelling up from all that nasty but scrumptious korean bbq I had over the weekend with the crew. I had such a superb weekend, I wish I can do it all over again. More about that later.

One of the gurlies have left while most of them will be leaving for the mid year holidays soon. I'm gonna miss all of you so much. Come back soon, and bring me lotsa pressies and love when you come back hey haha. Seriously, I'm gonna miss you babies heaps. Pack me in your suitcase? ;( Happy shopping and food munching, you know I'm all green with envy! Take care there, be good, and don't do anything I wouldn't do! Mwah~Y

On a happier note, we've got friends coming to visit from Taiwan soon. It's been quite some time since we've last seen them so it'll be awesome catching up. The relos will be coming soon too nearing end of the month. It's gonna be so hectic. I can't believe it's already nearly end of financial year. It feels like christmas was only yesterday. Oh how time flies.

Anyhoo, just disregard all the negativeness in my random ramblings, I feel so drowsy from the cold and flu. Pretty please Mr flu, please please go away. I've got lotsa work piling up, I can't afford to be croaking away on the phone and slowing down from the drowsiness. Okay, I'mma go rest that head of mine, ciao amigos.

Here's the weather forecast for the week. Gee mother nature, just cry on my favourite day now will you.

Numb Dumb

2007-06-07T20:57:00.000+12:00

Something's wrong with my nose. :(

The bridge of my nose keeps numbing up from time to time. Or should I say most of the time for now. I'll tap it abit and the numbing will go away, and then not even two seconds later, I can feel it numbing up again.

Wtf is wrong with it! Has anyone felt this way before? Somebody give me some answers!

I feel like such a retard. It feels like I've just had a nose job done or something, not to say that I know how it even feels like but yeah. It just feels really, really weird. Very uncomfortable too. It goes away when I'm concentrating on other stuff but otherwise, it's just there and it gets really annoying.

When I tried googling nose bridge numbing up, I got a whole list of numbing cream and plastic surgery, coke in nose, and nose piercings. -_-" Go away.

I finally saw something that might've been it...

"Yes, I get a numb nose. It's usually a telltale sign of an up and coming migraine. My nose also gets stuffy and I get draining out of my ears too."

But I don't have a stuffy nose, nor is anything draining out of my ears. I hardly get migraines and I've never had a numb nose before either. I'm pretty sure I didn't bump it while I was asleep haha.

Ah well. If you see me tapping my nose from time to time, it's the numb nose okay, I'm not being a numb dumb!

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

2007-06-06T18:00:00.000+12:00

It pitter pattered continuously for the rest of the dark till now.
So cold, so gloomy, so perfect to snooze in,
not one bit, fit for work.

I try to keep from being reckless,
on slippery roads I drive.

Green, yellow, then red.
Red, then green,
then red in a split second.
When is anything ever green light throughout?

I accidentally tune in to classic fm,
and the opera sings to her heart's content,
working in collaboration with the sound of the rain,
that drown away the thoughts in my head.

On tippy toes, I staggered for the building,
a bag on my shoulder to free my two hands,
one hand on the laptop on top of my head,
I try to shield me from the rain.
With my free hand I pull onto my pants,
away from muddy water, away from the dirt.

The alarm rings as I walk into the dark,
I head to my corner to seat myself.
Dropped everything,
and turned on the gadgets,
I walk towards the ladies to dry myself.

My heels on tiles, my pace quickening,
I find a familiar rhythm playing through my head.
My footsteps they seem
to be echoing...

A wimbo wa, a wimbo weh, a wimbo wa a wimbo weh.

Ahh.. wtf, it's the lion king song!!!

A wimbo wa, a wimbo weh, a wimbo wa a wimbo weh.
In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight...

How did that happen man. I swear it really does sound like it!
Try to listen when you're walking on tiles, your footsteps echoing through the corridor.

The footsteps will go, a wimba wa, a wimba weh a wimbo wa..

Okay, I think I'm officially nuts. -_-"

Weekend Pig Bliss

2007-06-01T18:00:00.000+12:00

I feel like making currypuffs this weekend, because my stomach has been sending naughty signals to my brain saying that they need some curry lovin' hahaha. Mom made some the last time she came here, but that was yonks ago. On the other hand, I'm also planning to go to the coast this weekend remember, so hopefully I'll still be able to squeeze this in 'cause I am really really craving for it. I'm such a fatty! All I can think about is food all the time now.

I was planning to make hotpot tonight since I've got everything prepared but found out from bigbadwolf that we'll be going for buffet at Sofitel tonight. Yay, I don't mind...that'll be even better! We'll definately pig out and eat our worth haha.

Well I hope all of you will have a great weekend. This is what I look forward to every single week!

xx

Surfed into this website and found it really meaningful.

When we live and let live, we don't need to criticize, judge, or condemn others. We have no need to control them or try and make them conform to our way of thinking. We let others live their own lives and we live ours.

This simple slogan helps centre us on our own dual recovery and on living our own life in the best way we know how. Live and let live is one of the keys to peace in our lives. When we practice tolerance in our lives we are liberated to work on our own issues. When we use this slogan we end many of the conflicts in our lives and gain the ability to stop new ones before they build into big ones.

It isn't an easy slogan, but it sure is something to ponder about and practice.

My Weakness

2007-05-30T21:48:00.000+12:00

Somebody, take that play station away from him already! I no I no heart you! Hahaha, growl!

It's been a long day today. I've been in the car all day and walking around the coast for work. So after all the appointments and what nots, we were walking around at Surfers when oh my good gawd, I saw MNG! :O I didn't know we had MNG here already! It's been so long since I've gone down to the coast. Oh how torturous it was walking pass my beloved shop and not being able to step into it.

I halted as I neared the door step, took a good long look at the shop forlornly, walking tiny steps towards it, my heart beating as I was still standing out there, and with all the will power I had in me, I quickly walked away and never turned back again.

T_T

Who wants to go to the coast with me? I neeeeeed to go. Yes, I need, not want! ;p

I came back home and exclaimed to my cousins next door of my discovery. They were telling me how it was so overpriced compared to malaysia (of course la) and that there weren't anything special that was catchy to the eye, so no loss, dear shazza.

I think she was just trying to make me feel better. I need to go pay them a visit hehehe. I can go for thai food too at my favourite restaurant while I'm there. And buy my shiseido products as well! Sounds productive doesn't it?

It's just that everytime I shop at MNG, I always manage to find one or two things that I really really like, be it a skirt, a jacket, a dress, or even just a fancy top. Throughout the years that I've visited the shops occasionally when I was in melbourne or back in malaysia, I always go home with something I absolutely love! Maybe not this year when I was back in mal, but you get the drift. Okay I sound like I'm talking about some effed up relationship here but whatever haha.

This weekend, this weekend... I shalt shop to my heart's content. Sounds like a plan? Alrighht! ;D Now if my bank account balance could so kindly match my shopping drive...

Milla Jovovich in MNG's ad. Yes milla, I'm coming already!

p/s: I can't believe I wrote a whole post on this. -_-" I'm such a loser!

Dear Bigbadwolf,

2007-05-29T00:02:00.000+12:00

Happy Birthday babe!

It's your big day and the time when all the power lies in your hands... to boss me around and I can't say no! Just 'cus it's your special day. >(

Thank you for having such high endurance, for being there, for all the lunchboxes you've never failed to make every week day, for being so understanding, and for always not giving up when the going gets tough.

I know I am sometimes hard to handle, but you know I really cherish every bit of effort you've put in to compromise and deal with me. Whaddaya know, we aren't so bad after all. :)

I hope you had a great birthday even though it wasn't the best. You're currently enjoying your present I bought you as I type this out. Not a very smart idea since it takes away alot of the free time I could've actually spent with you. -_-" I mean time you can spend with me, haha.

~~regrets regrets regrets.~~

But nothing beats the grin on your face as you're playing with all those silly games. I heart you. For real. :)

YShaz

Wrote this on the twenty-seventh of may, babe's birthday.

Xtina's Coming to Town

2007-05-24T22:58:00.000+12:00

...and I'll be going to her concert woohooo! She's so gorgeous and glammed up now. And her voice is just amazing. I just got the tickets off sweetie's friends today, they were so nice to drop by at work to pass it to me. Thanks guys!

I'm going to the one on the twentieth july, darn that'll be after work on a friday night though. I'll probably rush home and change and go straight to the brisbane entertainment centre after. I hope I have time. I think the wisest thing to do would be to ask bigbadwolf to drop us there wahaha. Then I don't have to worry about parking the damn car.

I'm so thrilled! Jumps jumps jumps with glee. I bet it's gonna be so awesome!

I wonder who else is going? Anyhoo, I'll see you peeps there! ;D

It’s been twenty-one years

2007-05-22T23:36:00.001+12:00

this post is dated back to the nineteenth of may.

...since I've first lived, breathed and loved. It's the time of my life where I receive the golden key to independence, and with that comes all the responsibilities and burden in life of an adult. But like they say, these are all just barriers you've built against yourself if you choose to look at life in that light. From this day onwards, I hope I can strive to achieve my dreams, learn to let go of what I can't change or hold onto, and to live and let live.

"The more you praise and celebrate your life,

the more there is in life to celebrate."
~Oprah Winfrey

For longevity. Family birthday ritual. Thanks baby for making this for me.

Happy birthday to myself!

Thank you to my wonderful family and my dearest friends for always being there for me. Me lub you long time. Oh and thanks for not making me finish the jug. Everyone took turns drinking with me from the jug, hehe I love you gurls. Thanks for the company, the gifts and the cakes. :)

The next day, all thirteen of us went to my favourite korean barbeque restaurant to eat. We ordered so much we didn't end up finishing all the dishes. We probably ordered all the main dishes in the menu since there were so many growling stomaches around. It was really awesome though, I've been missing my ox tongue for quite sometime now.

The day after, my my fake god brother decided to shout me dinner. He wanted to surprise me, and boy was I surprised. When I got to suncrop restaurant, he had ordered lobsters, lobster sashimi, crabs, prawns and oysters. I'm allergic to seafood damnit!!! Not all of it, oysters are fine so I ended up finishing the dozens of oysters myself while I watched the others glut over their yummy seafood. ;( Nice move 'brada', haha.

Bigbadwolf had the time of his life while I sat there eating the same thing over and over again. Hehehe okay okay, after that we ordered more stuff for myself. It wasn't that bad, it's the thought that counts. Anyways, all the best and have a safe flight when you leave this weekend, thanks for the dinner. Hope all goes well for you in your new life back home.

Bigbadwolf's birthday is up next this weekend, hopefully this time round we'll have an even more carefree and enjoyable time.Y

p/s: thanks for all the calls, messages, and testimonials :)

To My Dearest Mummy,

2007-05-13T19:12:00.000+12:00

Happy Mother's Day

...to the most beautiful, selfless woman in the world.

You taught me to be patient, to love, and to give.

Thank you for being my friend, my teacher, my girlfriend, my counsellor, my walking cookbook, my bitching buddy, a great listener and for always being there for me even though we are so far apart. I don't know how, but you still manage to do all that.

I love you supermom, I can't wait to see you soon in october. I hope you have a great one today. :)

Love always,

your awesome daughter ;P

Kanny's Birthday

2007-05-12T03:51:00.000+12:00

I know this is really late, but what the heck at least I'm catching up hehe. Since I'm not out tonight I might as well blog before I start slacking again.

Kanny's birthday was on the 14th of April, so her beloved boyfriend organised a party for her at Echoes as we always do, but this time in the vip room. The room was filled with so many people, and although the room is massive, it was still packed to the core. There were alot of people we didnt know of as well since we only just got back from nz.

At the beginning it felt a little weird because it was so packed and everyone was so far apart from one another. After some time, most of the random people left and it was back to cozy, crazy, catching up. It was so awesome making Kanny drink since she's always the one making sure everyone gets smashed on their birthdays hahaha. Pay back time hunny!

When it was twelve am, Kanny did the traditional bottoms up with the jug, but towards the end all of us helped out. She was officially drunk. She wasn't alone though, we were all pissed since it's been ages since we drank together again, it felt really really awesome!

I don't quite remember when we took the groupie piccies, but oh well. :p It was a great night. Happy birthday baby girl, I love you long time. Hope you had as much fun as we did woman!

Kanny, Janet, yours truly, Cathy and Ashley.

Random photo. Not sure what lit up bigbadwolf's eyes haha.

Kanny baby trying to finish the jug one cup by one cup.

We look pretty pissed haha. It was good fun.

Kanny finishing up, and then trying hard to blow the candle out. That's Francis holding her up hehe.

Woohoo, thanks for some of the piccies ashley babe! I dunno what to do for my birthday next week. Every year we try not to celebrate our birthdays at ktvs but we always end up doing so just because it's so convenient! I'll start brainstorming but if I get lazy, bah.. it'll be just wherever or whatever then haha. Any ideas peeps? Brainstorm with me!

TGIF

2007-05-11T00:52:00.000+12:00

The week has passed by so quickly, it's weekend again after work tomorrow. Woohoo, it's time to partae partae again! I'm so gonna make the most out of it, hehehe. No more hanging at home and sleeping too much. No more dramas and no more being miss lazy poo. I better not speak too soon hehe.

Hopefully for this weekend, I'll be able to conquer watching Spiderman 3, go out and partae with the gurlies, play mahjong and go to the city for once! Who's going to the Reiji dance party tomorrow? I'm still thinking about it, but I'm not too sure where everyone is heading to.

Anyhoo, I see you gurlies soon in less than 24 hour's time!

MwahY

/edited

I fell asleep straight after dinner when I got back home from work. So much for try to have a social life again. -_-" I jolted up just before midnight in shock. I dreamt that I slept through the whole weekend and forgot to partae! 0_0 Tomorrow, tomorrow it'll definately be different. Just you wait. :P grr.

I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream

2007-05-07T17:35:00.000+12:00

Last Wednesday, we finally caught hold of the ice cream truck after weeks of waiting impatiently for it. It only comes every fortnight and for some reason we always manage to miss it, argh.

They sell homemade ice creams, and our all-time favourite is the natural bowen mango bar. Bigbadwolf and I were at the midst of wrestling each other for the loo when we both paused to hear the ringing sound of the ice cream truck. Without asking, he ran upstairs for the wallet, chucked it down, and I rushed out of the house bare feet running like a psycho biatch towards the ice cream truck. It's about time we got hold of the ice cream man.

The ice cream man was just about to leave! Phew. If we had missed him again I would've been so cut. I bought three whole boxes just so I’d have enough supply if I ever miss it again, hahaha. It’s really that good. I even forgot I had to wee wee haha.

3 boxes = 60 mango ice creams = satisfaction.

It’s a good thing we caught the ice cream man this time, I definitely needed all that ice cream for the long weekend.

xx

It's Labour day today woohoo, that gives us an extra day of pure relaxation. I feel like swimming but I'm so lazy to leave the house. I want to watch Spiderman 3 but I'm so lazy to leave the house. I feel like Antarctic Circle's hotpot but I'm so lazy to leave the house. Oh dear, what am I going to do with myself.

Last weekend was pretty packed. Ruby came back for the weekend to celebrate her boi's birthday, my Sydney cousin, Steph and her boyfriend Taro came over for the weekend as well for a friends wedding. We practically ate out for the whole weekend. So much for trying to be health conscious hey. -_-"

Oh damnit. I just ran out of Optus dial up credit. We can't get ADSL2 due to some pair gain line connection we have for our house, damnit! Need.adsl.at.home. growl!! Will do something about it soon. Okay I'll post this up when I go next door since I gotta help bigbadwolf send something out, see ya later alligator!

Hi Cupcake!

2007-04-28T23:27:00.000+12:00

This post was written on thursday night. Didn't get to posting it since I wrote this half way and fell asleep. -_-"

I know I haven't been updating for awhile now. Work is eating into my leisure time, now I really cherish all the free times I had lazing at home, hanging out with the girls, drinking like there's no tomorrow and just doing absolutely nothing at all. Weekend is coming soon yippee, that’ll be a good rest from my early mornings and bed time curfews I've set for myself. Shireen’s like, “sis, you’re sleeping so much earlier compared to me!” I can’t help it, I really need my sleep to be entirely energized the next day. :p

I usually sleep at around 10.30pm and wake up at 7am. Everything is such a routine now. It’s working time from morning till the evening, a refreshing shower and then dinner time when I get back home, lazing and watching telly after, then it’s bed time again already. 0_0 Time sure passes by so quickly.

There goes all the post office, banking and everything else you can only do during working time. I still haven’t applied for my debit card! It’s so inconvenient not having a card you can use online. Work has been great, everyone is so nice and extremely helpful. I feel more at ease now although I’ve still got so much to learn and catch up on. Ah, I have faith!

xx

As it was Anzac day last wednesday, Bigbadwolf and I went to the city for barbeque with the girls and boys. It was at Francis and Dan's cousin's apartment. The barbeque area was really big, and it was next to the swimming pools. We had the place booked till 4pm but ended up leaving at 5 instead haha. Francis' mom makes really scrumptious food. What can I say, she's malaysian so it ain't no wonder hahaha. We had hokkien mee and beehun, kish, bbq chicken etc and jelly and fruits. After the bbq, we headed back to their apartment to hang around for abit before we left. I had to leave early since I had work the next day. The others all stayed for more fun boohoo!

Janet, Cathy, Rachel and I. Everyone else was in the room.

xx

Last night I fell asleep after dinner when I was suppose to go for coffee with Sally, Fiona and Ling. -_-" Hope you girls didn't have too much fun without me hehe. I woke up later to get ready to go to Echoes with the cousins and some friends. Woohoo, weekend bliss. And guess what?

Not enough sleep + fatigue + alcohol = getting dizzy pretty quickly

I've still got three more cartons of clothes to unpack. I feel so lazy aiya. My Sydney cousins are coming next weekend so oh man, I've got to drag my sorry ass and spring clean, clear away the cartons that are still sitting in the upstairs living room and clear out my wardrobe. Somebody, come help the baby!

I declare today as cuppycake day! I've been dying to eat some cakes for awhile now and thought I'd bake some instead. We went for our usual weekly grocery shopping and I bought everything that was needed. It only took about an hour or so and then taadah, all done! I know I'm so childish, I topped it up with chocolate fudge and fairy sprinkles hahaha. Yumm tumms.

Cuppycakes left to cool & Bigbadwolf chowing down. The cupcake looks soo tiny next to bigbadwolf! Thanks for the occasional brekky and preparing my everyday lunch box without complaints. :) Here's a lil silly treat for you ~~cupcake~~ sweetie poo, mwah! Y

Wee... I'm done for the day. My turn to go gobble down some now, see ya!

Roar!

I'm so pissed off. One of the smaller boxes arrived yesterday and it's been opened up by customs for their routine checks. That's definately reasonable, but thing is they left us a note stating that they took away my pink Gucci Envy Me perfume and the fairy Anna Sui one because they are listed under dangerous goods! Far out how dangerous can perfumes get, arghhh I am so mad. Don't they sell duty free perfumes on airplanes? What the hell is wrong with mine? T_T Screw you customs.

On a happier note, we went to Echoes last night to catch up with the crew. We had our gurlie bonding, ate their kick ass yummy calamari rings and fried chikin, sang our hearts out and boozed as always. It was great to drink beer again after all the wine with Cherry and Janet, feels so refreshing. :P I heart beer with plums.

A piccie of us after we arrived. Kanny, Cherry and the boys not in the pic.

Yesterday was really productive. I went on a massive shopping spree in garden city for working clothes, and boi was it fruitful! Now I am officially broke. Bigbadwolf was absolutely horrified by the way I shopped. I had stacks of clothes hung onto my hands two minutes after I arrived in the shop, and bigbadwolf kept shooing me away into the fitting room before I could pick up s'more and do anymore damage.

Hey, the clock was ticking away and I was only half an hour away to closing time hehehe. I'm still waiting for more clothes my beloved mummy and sis bought for me from Malaysia, thanks guys! My eyes kept wandering off to clothes that weren't even close to working clothes, and bigbadwolf sure did a helluva good job curbing me from going off target. -_- Men! grrr.

xx

I can't believe I'm blogging at this hour of the day. I woke up at seven thirty with only a few hours' sleep. I lazed on the couch watching E and decided I might as well blog instead. I think I've got insomnia. I have been waking up so early these days its so not funny.

Bigbadwolf's been a sweetie helping me out with my water intake by nonchantly shoving a cup of water in my face from time to time whenever he remembers. This way that makes two times more water consumption for me since I'll drink when I remember and when he remembers. Get the math? Doesn't really make sense eh haha. Never you mind. :p

I've been trying really hard to keep to one of my new year's resolution which is to try to be healthier. I've switched from buying milo to wheat drinks. I try to stick tofu into most of our meals, have more greens and fruits, make more vege soups, give up cocopops for healthier cereals, have one teaspoon less of sugar everytime I make something to drink and trying to keep to all these.

I guess I'm inadvertedly thinking that this can make up for the boozing, my love for meat and lychee drinks. -_-" At least I'm starting somewhere right? Wish us luck guys!

Alil bit of this, alil bit 'a that.

2007-04-16T02:47:00.000+12:00

It's been a week since I've left Christchurch, time passes by so quickly. Our 100kgs of boxes haven't arrived yet, I hope it's safe out there, fingers crossed! I've been busy catching up with friends, unpacking and settling down, reading and reading, playing mahjong to relax instead of drinking, and shopping for working clothes and shoes. Omg, I'm gonna go bankrupt from shopping so much! Where do you gurls usually shop for working clothes besides CUE? Will nail that one soon!

We've been cooking in alot, and we did korean bbq at home with our mini hot plate burner, it was so mini and cute but so damn inconvenient for four people! We didn't have the proper hot plate, it was the one with thin long holes on it, so the chicken pieces kept falling inside since it was abit shredded! Other than that, everything else worked out fine and damn, it was delicious! We combined the hoi sin, chili and satay sauce together for the meat and it tasted pretty good! I was too impatient to take photos since I was so hungry while we were preparing. Maybe next time, I'll show you how cute the little burner is haha.

I should sign up for adsl soon, dialup is killing me softly. It's so freaking slow! I probably won't be updating as much anymore until I get adsl. Tomorrow's another day filled with lotsa errands. Gotta go pick up my pants since I got it altered, head to garden city for more shopping and stock up on whatever's needed in the house and clean up. -_-"

Oh yeah, I think I've smsed and called quite a few people but many have complained of not receiving any. I think something's wrong with my line, I should switch to plan soon. So if any of you still haven't heard from me, sms or call me! Maybe it's just my phone acting up again, sorry. Usually I think it's fine though, otherwise I think everyone else is just bs-ing me hey. 0_o"

Home Sweet Home & Klub Kandy

2007-04-12T20:46:00.000+12:00

So there is Hope after all :) Taken on the way back home from Christchurch.

It wasn't april fools, I'm really back to Brisvegas for good! Wahoo, I'm so happy to be back here with bigbadwolf. Finally secured a job over here (thank god, and thanks to my sweetangel!), bye bye to Christchurch! I miss all the new friends I've made there though, they were all so nice and very very sweet and friendly! Thanks for all the farewell parties organised. :)

Initially we were keeping mum about it since bigbadwolf wanted to surprise all his friends as he hadn't been back for almost two whole years. Hopefully we'll settle down pretty soon and that everything will go as smoothly as possible.

All of us met up at Klub Kandy to catch up, I had a great time with all the girlies. There were sexy dancers on the podiums too hahaha. Most of the guys were literally looking up concentrating on the dancers shaking their booties and salivating. It was so packed, I've never seen the vip queue so so long! Ooh, I also bumped into my high school besties, that was such an awesome coincidence!

Voluptious sexy dancers on the move. Cherryone and Devilishaz.

The crew, so glad to see you gurlies!

Alcohol, alcoholics.

Ashie and Aily with the devil.

Check out thart perky ass! Cute yenno and I.

My high school gurls, Monique and Monica. Jessica, Kanny, Ashley and yours truly.

I love you gurliesY

Our Destiny

2007-04-03T21:26:00.000+12:00

Nearly two years ago while I was still in Tainan, I had to make a trip to Taipei to get my passport renewed. I met up with an old girl friend of mine who used to reside in Brisbane. We were having brunch in Sogo when we came up with the idea of going to visit a fortune teller. Generally, we didn’t have any major problems but we were both curious to know what the fortune teller had to say about us. It would be a nice change from the tarot readers in Australia.

After we finished with our food, we went on our way to the fortune teller. Boy it sure was one hot sunny day. We had to cross a bridge, go through a few traffic lights, walk through little passageways, walked past plenty of shops before we finally got to an old strip of shop lots where the fortune teller was situated. I tried to catch my breath and slow down my breathing pace as we walked into the shop.

It was a rundown little shop that looked like it was around for decades. We were greeted by two amicable elderly women and my friend started conversing in Taiwanese with them. Their voices trailed away as I scanned the shop, and my eyes rested on an old, grim looking man seated before a wooden table. He looked up and stared straight back at me, his eyes piercing into mine. He looked so menacing and cold. He then closed his eyes and turned away, chanting to himself as he tapped his fingers.

After a few minutes, one of the ladies directed us to the table as I expected, and my friend decided that I should go first. Every time the fortune teller asked a question, my friend answered as they were speaking in Taiwanese and I couldn’t understand. He then asked to speak to me personally and my friend explained that I didn’t know how. He exclaimed infuriatingly how insulting it was for a Taiwanese not to know how to speak one’s own language and that I should be ashamed of myself. I looked at him horrified, and retorted that I wasn’t even a Taiwanese to begin with!

The guessing game of my origin then began. He started off with Hong Kong first, then China, then Singapore only to see me shaking my head in reply. “Shouldn’t he know where I’m from since he is a fortune teller?” I thought to myself in disbelief. I then answered that I was originally from Malaysia, not Singapore. He proceeded to ask for my ba zhi (date of birth, time of birth etc.), took a quick look at my right palm, and then moved his thumb from finger to finger, counting away.

He proceeded to tell me about the five elements according to his book and which one I was, and then shook his head and proclaimed what a disaster my life was. My friend was jotting down everything furiously on a paper as he continued to talk. According to him, my health was a concern, my love life was a mess, my studies and careers wouldn’t go smoothly, and my family, oh I can’t even bring myself to type it out. Practically speaking, there was no more meaning to my life and I really have nothing to look forward to at all. He paused to look at my reaction. I looked at him intently. I was totally flabbergasted, my palms were sweating, my friend was looking at me sympathetically, and the fortune teller, well he was still waiting for my reaction. I was just…

fucking horrified! 0_0

He then smiled and started talking. "Fortunately, with the changes that had happened in your life, it's not going to be so bad after all." Phew, you got me there Mister. He mentioned about the major moves I have made moving from different continents, the moves from different houses, and then the little accidents I had such as spraining my knee or ankle, the importance of having godparents, and ecetera that curbed the bad destiny I would have had to face. Most of the things he said was pretty much general and the others, I shall not reveal hahaha.

So basically to sum it up, my love life and health would be alright after all, my studies and career wouldn’t end up so bad, and that my family would still be tight knitted. -_-" Looks like I’m back to square one with not much answers ei. The only important thing he mentioned was that there’d still be many changes and moves I’d have to make in my life and that it would be necessary and be a good thing for me.

My friend was up next and he discussed about her life the same pattern as he did for me, starting off with all the extremely horrible stuff you can never imagine before ending with all the oh-so-good things. Apparently later on, I heard from many other friends who had gone to see him that they all had to endure the same painful discussion, and most of them reckons that he probably does it to all the people. That’s not very nice!

Over the years, I've forgotten most of the stuff he said. He mentioned that I'd definately go back to see him a year later with so much confidence. Well did I? No. I think we're all better off not knowing what lies before us. It's alright for some guidance, but basically our life changes according to the different paths we choose to walk in life. To me I think that your life is in your own hands, you change your own destiny. Most asians also say that the lines on our palms change every five years as well. Does it really? It sure is something to ponder about.

What do you think?

Happy April Fools Day!

2007-04-01T00:58:00.000+12:00

I've finally found a job in brisbane and will be moving back for good, woohoo! I'm in cloud nine baby! This is too good to be true! Bye bye new zealand, hellooo brisvegas, I'm coming back to you! Fact or myth?

Happy april fools peeps! Hehehe, I've been pranked twice by my lil coussie with her fake sob stories and about her papa dearest. Oh boi, I'm such a loser haha. To think I was so sympathetic! Anyhoo, what did I do today? I was surfing online and reading up on stupid pranks that have been pulled over the years at museum of hoaxes.

There was this one where burger king advertised in the papers introducing whopper burgers for left handed peeps in America in 1998. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers and that the sauce drips off from the right side. Pretty handy? No, pretty stupid! I can't believe people fell for it, and the right handers were requesting for their very own special right handed burgers as well, hahaha.

Then there was the other one in 1996 where virgin cola announced that in the interest of consumer safety it had integrated a new technology into its cans. When the cola passed its sell-by date, the liquid would react with the metal in the can, turning the can itself bright blue. Virgin warned that consumers should therefore avoid purchasing all blue cans. The joke was that back then, Pepsi had only recently unveiled its newly designed cans and they were bright blue. Hahaha, this one was pretty cool!

Did anyone pull any pranks or been pranked by anyone today? I hope I wasn't the only loser around. ;P

Market Square Burnt

2007-03-29T21:48:00.000+12:00

I can't believe most of Market Square has been burnt down! I got the news when I heard my phone beeped, it was a message from cherry asking me if I wanted to start a new business with her, hahaha. Damn! Sunnybank's never gonna be the same again without Market Square on the go! And like what Sally has said, where's the crowd gonna head to next? What a shocker. Aw, looks like things are gonna be diff if I head back to brissie. ;(

Here's a video uploaded in youtube I got from Ruby, whoa that was quick. I think one of her friends was armed with a cam. Looks like the fire started from Yuen's, then spreaded across the whole strip. Hope no one was harmed.

All the comments started pouring in...

"I think little taipei's boss is gonna be very very very happy"

"holy crap go on fire so quick la....pok gai ar...apparently they didnt use much water to put out the fire coz of water restrictions..."

"fucking crazy ar... my favourite shop is gone.."

"i am sure my favorite restaurant is going to raise the price after they rebuild it"

"feel so sorry for the boss of my favourite restaurant,we were eating there, now it's all gone... didn't even have a pic..."

"Man I always get my seaweed chips there"

Hahahaha, Ruby and I were laughing our asses off as we exchanged infos on what our friends commented on. Some people are just so hilarious. Oh man, I really liked Malaya though! -_-"

Helpless

2007-03-28T22:22:00.000+12:00

When you left to go on your journey to the other side of the world, your purpose was to find your happiness and to fulfill and satisfy that emptiness inside you. You wanted to improve the way you were, you wanted to become a better person. But really, I think otherwise now. You are so selfish that all you can think about is yourself. It doesn’t worry you that the people around you care for you and miss you.

When they talk to you, they want to find out how you’re doing and if you’re happy and living well. Whereas for you, you’re just happy to talk about yourself every single damn minute and not even have the decency to ask about them till the conversation ends. I find it hard to respect you when you can’t even respect them. Honestly, you don’t even give a damn. You’re insensitive to their feelings and you don’t even give a flying fuck whether they get hurt in the process. All you care about is attaining your happiness, period. You don’t honour them, and you disregard what I try to tell you. Instead, you shoot me straight in the head before you even fucking think of why I’d say such a thing to you. Do I even benefit from what I said to you in our conversation? Do I not get hurt talking to you that way? How can you assume that I’m merely angry just because things weren’t going my way, and if it was, then I’d be full of praise for you.

You know what? You’re not only selfish, but you’re extremely arrogant. You can preach all you want, you can do whatever shit you’re doing, but I’m telling you, you’re still that fucking same selfish and stubborn bastard. What do you mean when you said you offered to let them visit you and it’s their problem if they can’t get there? You act as if we should just bow down to you like you were one of the gods. Look just how pompous you are from the way you talk. You assume we’re trying to make it harder for you when you don’t even know how hard it is for us. We try to understand you, we give in to every changes and decisions you make, we explain when people misinterpret what you do, we answer to continuous questions, yet you’re still over there, still so full of yourself, and making stupid assumptions about us.

You can try to save the world, but you can’t even fucking help yourself. Life is all about multitasking. You try to earn a living to live, you try to achieve happiness to have fulfillment, you try to love and respect those that love you and brought you up, and you try to live life to the fullest so that you can turn back without any regrets. That’s life. For you, when you try to achieve happiness, you forget about the others just because it’s more conducive for you. I hope you wake up one day and find it in yourself to make it up to those that you owe it to. I know life isn’t about satisfying the needs of others, but they aren’t even asking much from you.

It is only natural that they look forward to seeing you with open arms. And what are you doing? You’re standing afar pointing fingers, breaking their hearts inadvertently as you walk away from them.

2007-03-26T19:57:00.000+12:00

Woohoo, I'm so happy these days! Finally the day is coming soon! I'm not gonna reveal what's going on just yet until everything is fully confirmed, otherwise it's gonna be such a big disappointment. So edgy and excited. :) I hope everything follows through, just waiting for good news now. I'm walking on air, grins. Wee, this is so so amazing bwahaha.

So far I've been going out catching up with friends and boozing as usual. We seem to be going to Iconic alot, hahaha. Ooh we've been to the korean karaoke twice too. It's called Christchurch Idol, how tacky. :p The songs there are very very outdated, but the soju and the free room charges (thanks to ken) keeps us going. They have this drink where they mix soju with yakult. It doesn't even taste alcoholic at all, more like sprite with yakult. But after quite a few jugs, whoa.. it hits you straight in the head haha.

Anyhoo, I've been busy watching the new season of the simpsons, which we conveniently downloaded off the net. I've also conquered all episodes of my name is earl, some hongkie movies, wild hogs, 300, and the illusionist. I'm turning into a movie buff. -_-" The illusionist is awesome, i loved it! If you haven't watched it, go do yourself a favour and check it out.

p/s: btw, are the songs on my website annoying the shit outta anyone yet? :p you can tell me to switch it off if it's getting unbearable aight.

Salmon Overdose

2007-03-21T00:09:00.000+12:00

As we left on our journey back home from Queenstown to Christchurch, I felt really bored and restless sitting in the car for so long, bum bum so sore la, hehehe. Thankfully just as we were about to make a pit stop for some fresh air, we chanced upon a sign that read, “Salmons sold here”. Woohoo, awesome baby! We quickly made a u-turn and stopped by to have a look.

It turned out to be a Salmon farm where they reared freshwater salmons. I got pretty excited knowing the fact that we’d be having our own supply of salmon sashimis at home that could last us for quite abit. They were so cheap too compared to the ones that were sold in the supermarket. It was around twelve dollars ninety cents per kilo for one whole fish, alot dearer if you wanted them to cut it for you of course.

Apparently, the salmon farm began by collecting eggs and milt from captive broodstock, incubating the fertilised eggs in a freshwater hatchery, and rearing the newly hatched fry for a further six to twelve months. The young smolts are then transferred to larger cages or ponds where they are reared for the remainder of their lives. Fish remain there in captivity for two to three years, and are typically harvested at weights of between 2 and 4 kg.

Here are some pictures of the salmon farm.

Yumm tumms. So fresh and tantalising! Who wants some? Tease tease. :p

We were even allowed to feed the salmons. It was pretty hard to take pictures of them coming up for their food, they were so quick! Here's my closest attempt to capture a shot of it. That's the friendly lady packing our salmons. salivates.

What a glorious day it turned out to be. We got home and gorged ourselves silly with lotsa salmon sashimis, hahaha. After a few days of continuous feasting, I kinda got sick of it though, because we also made salmon fish head soup, cooked salmon fillets, had smoked salmon, it was pretty much salmon everything! But now... ooh boi, pass me s'more of that salmon sashimi please! :P

Effing Flies

2007-03-20T01:03:00.000+12:00

So I was in the office room in my usual position facing the blinds while using my laptop when some fishy business caught my attention. I looked up to see myself facing two flies mounted on top of each other... copulating!

0_0

I tried not to let it get to me by diverting my attention to surfing. After awhile, I still couldn't help but look up to stare. Boy were they at the same position and not moving for quite long! That's it, my hands automatically reached out for my camera and there I was with my camera right infront of the couple flashing nonstop hahaha. They didn't even budge, still in the very same position as it was few minutes ago. I do realise I was pretty rude barging in like that, intruder alert!:p

Bigbadwolf got a big distracted with my inquisitiveness, and decided to shoo them away. Funny thing was they were still joined together in the same position while flying around in the office. They settled again on our office table, this time on top of the telephone. Alas...

Splat!!!

Bigbadwolf decided he had enough and swatted the flies with a rolled up newspaper. Poor guys, all squished and splattered on top of each other. At least they died happy I guess? :p

Hellboy

2007-03-18T20:08:00.000+12:00

Just heard the bad news today, Hellboy passed away two days ago. It's been more than two years, and he has been sick for quite some time. Maybe it is for the better, at least he isn't suffering now. Thanks to the coussies at cromwell for mummying him ever since I left brisbane.

He was there for me while I went through LDR madness for one year plus. He was there for me throughout my sleepless nights. He was there for me when I was bored and all alone. Most of you probably think that fishies don't make much of a pet just because you can't carry them, touch them or play with them. Well you're wrong.

All those times I spent lying in bed watching him swim around for hours, him waking me up in the middle of the night smashing into his own reflection, him swimming up to my two fingers as I hold onto his food pellets, oh boy. I'll make sure I never have pets again unless I know I'm settling permanently in a country. I wasn't there for you, I feel so sorry hellboy. :'(

Rest in peace hellboy, I'm missing you.

Our happy memories - The first pic is of hellboy in the bag as I proudly brought him home with me for the first time after leaving petcity. The second pic is what I see on my bedside table looking at me enthusiastically every time I went to bed.

Hellboy and his imaginary friend, his reflection. That was when he was still so healthy and very ferocious.
Love always, Hellboy.Y

No photo, no photo!

Boohoo. Today we decided to head to another korean restaurant to try their korean bbq, and they ran out of ox tongue. -_-" That's no biggie. After I took some photos of what we ordered, the korean lady stared daggers at me, and said sternly, "No photo! No photo!" So I said alright. I mentioned that there weren't any no camera signs and it was just all for fun. I asked her why she was so uptight about it but she refused to answer, still screaming, "No photo! No photo!"

She was still staring at me real angrily after quite some time. It kinda shocked me so I said, "Okay, you know what, do you want me to delete them?" And I did so without waiting for her reply. She watched me like a hawk on its prey making sure that I deleted all the photos. Of course I would, like it really was that important, but woman, its just freaking korean food. No big deal aight. She killed my mood and made me lose my appetite, gee. Then some of her korean friends came in and she started blabbering non stop in that annoying tone. Oh well, we tried to ignore it.

The food wasn't too awesome though, they marinated the meat with too much sesame oil and sugar, and they made sure that they cooked it for us and didn't allow us to touch the meat! O_O Lighten up sweetie, it's just korean bbq for fucks sake! -_-" Not happy. I'm definately never going back there again.

Bigbadwolf smirked and commented that she was probably worried that we'd send it to the board of health or something. What the hell yo. We decided to settle with the fact that her hubby prolly left her and she found out her daughter ran off with her boyfriend so yeah, we forgave her, heh heh heh! I swear it isn't the cask of redwine that's making me bitchy.

Growl!!! Watch it bitches, I'm gonna get you!
