boys, boys, boys...

yesterday, i left office at 5 sharp... went home, watch disney channel and then went to the bank... my mom followed me to the bank, like usual, because i was lazy to find parking, so she usually sits in the car while i run into the bank... for reward, i usually take her to supper...

as we were driving home, we past by the holy redeemer church in berkeley... and mom asked me about the church... so i told her, that church is a roman catholic church and it is huge... i think it may be the largest catholic church in town... and then i told her... i used to know a guy who goes there... a pretty nice guy, and his name's andrew...

as i was driving home with her... i told her about guys that i've liked or dated or guys that was once interested in me... thanks to the mocha i had for supper, i was lying wide awake in my bed at night, and i was thinking about all the guys... so i thought i might as well put it down in the list...

we'll start with andrew... a guy i knew way back when i was 13... that was more than a decade ago... he is not very good looking, but he is real nice... if i remembered correctly, he must be 3 or 4 years my senior... we were very decent friends... how i know him? he was not my schoolmate... since i attended an all-gurl school... there was one sunny day, me and my friend, penny, we were walking around the school waiting for school to start... and then, she saw her school bus... and inside was this guy, giving us a wide smile... well, i didn't really look, and penny told me that he was good looking... and so we decided, that penny should go get his phone number and we should call him... so she did, and we called him, that is how we met... and then we meet one day, i can't remember how or why, and then penny decided that he wasn't good looking at all, and she turned sour... but i was ok with his looks because i thought he was nice... i was a flirt! trust me... it wasn't like that... i was nice... and sweet... and andrew like me better than penny... we kept in touch... we really did keep in touch, i remember, we went for a double date, together with leslie and elaine... a few years later... and then, nothing happens... andrew is a perfect nice guy... i wish i can get his contact again and keep in touch...

when i was 16, also more than a decade ago... i met clement in elaine's party... well, we dated for a few months... at the same time, i met vincent, while working part time in ocean... and we also dated... elaine told me that i should not be two timing... and i have to choose... i couldn't decide, clement is very sweet and timid, while we dated, the only thing he does was hold my hands and gimme a peck on my cheek... vincent is very daring... and it was with him that i learnt about french kisses... hey, nothing more than that ok? i couldn't decide... so i didn't choose...

then, when i was 17, i met chee yong, he was like 8 years older than me, and i never thought anything could happen between us... i never thought he will like me, because i treated him like my brother... well, he did like me... and he didn't tell me that until a few years later... just a few weeks before i was going to leave for my degree... i was shocked... almost died... and then, i forget about it, and went to study, so nothing happened after that...

i met rodney when i was 17... we kept in touch... rodney was in for sex... and that was the only thing in his mind... he was a year or two older, but he keeps talking about sex... we went out for awhile and i find it very tough to keep my virginity around guys like him... so i cheated and i told him i was a lesbian and i wasn't interested in guys... fuh! what a lie... well, that didn't stop him... he told me that he could help me get interested in guys, if i tried it out with him... hehe, guess what? i didn't... i may be silly but i am not stupid... but we still kept in touch, he even send me for my 1st interview... meaning, we kept in touch for more than 6 years, champion or what?

i met wui heong while working part time after spm... and he liked me, and he never told me... until, before he goes back to perlis... hey, what do you expect, me to follow you back? no way man... i was 17, still a long way in front of me... i was not in for a steady relation... actually, i was more interested in his friend... i can't remember his name though... well, we kept in touch until i was doing my internship in kepong... he sent me home once and that was our last encounter...

form 6 was crazy... we were all crazy because of the stress... and i always remember him... i'm not putting his name down, because, you see, he may be reading... i have crushes on him, we used to talk on the phone after school and we used to walk to the bus station together... well, he was not interested in me... he was interested in my friend... what can i say? but he is cool... and the best part is, we are still friends...

after stpm, i was working part time and i met kelvin... ha... very good looking minus brains... a silly guy generally... but what the heck, he has the good looks... we tried to work something out, but it didn't happen... i have all the brains and he has all the looks, everytime we go somewhere, every gurl is staring at him... i became green like the incredible hulk... hahaha just kidding...

and then, there was uni, and there was where i met ernest, we dated... simple as that and we broke off... because, we had different views about most things... but we are still cool, we are still friends... and i have also posted a photo of his baby gurl in my blog a few weeks ago...

in u, i also met khoo... hehe, nothing really happened other than the both of us trying to break rules... like staying past the curfew and refused to go back to our room... etc...

after graduating, i met woon... dated him until i met my hubby... the rest is better left unspoken because, my hubby and i have gone through so much... so much has been sacrificed for this relationship and i am thankful that we went this far... i really hope that this will not end...

again, if you came this far with me... drop in a line to let me know... there is a prize for the winner...

Eggs Anyone?

i found this cute thingy on the net... so i thought i'd try it out, i am not sure how it works though...

so, here goes nothing!!!


farewell people of zelan

this week is a last week for many of my ol' friends down in zelan... *sob... sigh...* i hereby wish all of you who are leaving "best of luck" and "all the best in your future undertakings"...

i heard there was a farewell lunch last week, how was it? yummy? delicious? or was it choking? haha... whatever it is, eat while you still can...

i would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate all those whose contract magically got extended by 3 months... hmm... 3 months? why not 4? or 2? or 6? why 3? 3 months later will be nov... and then what? extended again or what? i am getting so confused... well, we have people making drinks for all of you who survived there... but who's gonna clean the toilet? oh... i forgot, budak kecik is still there... the chief of all toilet cleaners... hah! looks like budak kecik have to do all cleaning by herself... pity... but what to do? what to do? her assistant, yours truly, got away sooner... otherwise, i'll join the crowd in the toilet cleaning process... *chuckle*...

i think my blog is getting a bit cold... or perhaps, boring is the right word... i am running out of ideas... and this blog is turning into my personal diary... sounds stupid to be blogging about your own life right? anyway, anyone, anyone at all, if you have an idea on what to blog about, please drop in a line or two so that i get some fresh ideas... maybe i should run an online contest? then, we may need some sponsors... and if you wish to sponsor... contact me...

Sleepy and Tired

well, my weekend was spectacular... my hubby and i went to bukit tinggi on sunday and had quite a good time there... we went to the japanese garden and walked, walked and walked... then we went to colmar tropicale... then to the rabbit park and then, nothing else better to do, we went to genting...

when i was in the japanese garden, i observe something funny about us, malaysians... there was a sign which reads "do not pluck any flowers"... i interpret it as "do not pluck anything that is growing on trees"... although some may interpret it as "as long as i don't pluck the flowers, i can pluck any other things, including uprooting the entire plant"... and then, i saw people, lots of them, plucking flowers here and there... the most disgusting one was a father, plucking almost everything for his children... i thought fathers should show good examples, but funny how he set those examples... the father broke the rule literally... and there was another women uprooted the entire plant... can't these people just go, and enjoy the beauty of nature without causing additional destruction?

after the garden walk, we went to colmar tropicale... nice place... it's lunch time, and we're hungry, so we went to hunt for food... well, it's expensive everywhere... half a roasted chicken cost more than 30 bucks... and we thought, we need to eat... so we went, and guess what, there really wasn't a lot of people in that place, and they told us that we need to wait for 20 minutes before we get to eat... so we decided that we should go to another place... then we went to the cafe, they serve buffet lunch, and like usual, the word "buffet" brightens my day... so we went, and the place was crowded, no place at all... disappointed, we left, still hungry... still searching for a place to eat... we passed by this fine dining place, serving french cuisine... i thought to myself, must be really expensive... but i am hungry right? nothing i can do, no where else to go, so we went... to our surprise, the place, is not expensive at all... the set lunch, is only 35 bucks per pax... unbelievable? believe it! so we had a very nice and yummy lunch, for a very reasonable price... so, the next time any of you visits bukit tinggi, you should go to this place... i am not sure how you spell the name of the place, but i think it's le cognigne... or something like that la...

initially, we thought we want to spend a night in bukit tinggi, but since we did not book a hotel, and there was nothing much to be done there in the night, we changed our plans and went to genting... reached there almost evening... we went straight to 1st world, because the theme park is there... walked around for a while... and then decide to go to casino... don't laugh, i have not been there before... it's was my first time... so we went in... walked around... i wanted to try the slot, so i played for a while... then hubby taught me how to play keno... and we played for a while... and then, we went for dinner... after dinner, we walked around for a while and then, we tried the horse racing (computerised @latte), until now, we only loose... not a lot of money la... only about 100 plus plus... we are not gamblers la... and then we tried roulette... surprisingly, i was good at it... won some money... but over a very long period of time, because we don't bet big... at the end, we won enuff money to cover for the expenses of the trip...

then, i was feeling sleepy and thought we should go... look at my watch, guess... it's morning already... it's 5 in the morning... and since i have applied for the genting world card, i have a complimentary hotel stay, so we wanted to check to see if there are rooms... sure enuff, there wasn't any rooms available... it's school holidays, remember? then we decide to go home... so we left genting in the wee hours of the morning... and i slept in the car... reaching the karak highway, my hubby also feeling sleepy, stop at one of the R&R, and we slept... until about 8, or 9, can't remember, we went home and i fell onto my bed almost immediately... sleep till lunch time... woke up, eat, and then sleep again... in the evening, my hubby went back to pee dee and i slept rather early too... on tuesday, back at work but still felt like a panda... and today, no better yet... i am still exhausted... and then, i remembered this blog, so i thought i'd update it today, and i did... and i wrote a very long one today... for those of you who came to this point without yawning... i salute you...

The Week-END

um... i am neglecting this blog... am i? i am, right? i update this blog like once in a blue moon... to justify, i came up with a pretty nice excuse like i am busy with work, that's why i have no time to update this blog... but the truth is, i am always at the monster game and techwarrior... therefore, justification is not valid and so i am going to buck up and be a little more frequent in updating...

the good news is that the weekend draws near and i am embracing it just fine... this week, i am going to have a super long weekend... hubby is not working on monday, so i have also applied for a day off to go walk walk... and the better news is, today, i don't have to wait until late night to see hubby because, as i am typing this, he is in a meeting in kl, and he will come straight to see me after the meeting...

the even better news is... hubby is probably going to work in kl for good, which literally means that i get to see him everyday... yuppy!!! but, note that i used the word 'probably'... well, he may change his mind... like notty_little_me, he has "otak seminit" (may be attributed to the fact that the both of them are from the same department back in tanjung bin)...

so, i am signing off now and i am going to yum cha with my colleague now...

Sorry Guys...

well, i was so tired the whole of last week that i didn't update my blog... sorry guys... and especially sorry to jenoh... i made him popular, or rather unpopular last week... well, i was just telling the truth right? i bet i was not the only one who has been "victimised" by jenoh's punctuallity (however you spell that word)...

and then, jenoh strikes back... he wants me to be the topic for people to "marah"... why la? i am not going to let that happen... so people, this week is another week dedicated to jenoh... feel free to drop in your comments (erm... nope, complains is more accurate) regarding jenoh...

the next morning, woke up and went to makan buffet breakfast at the hotel, then went back to sleep again, didn't really sleep but rested... then called budak kecik and we went to arabie (again) for the curry puff... yummy... then we went to collect the durian (thanks haji) and pineapples (thanks budak kecik) and then head home... on the way, drop by alor gajah to see see my house... basically everything has been completed except the infraworks and the renovation... hope that it will be completed by the end of this year... reach pee dee at 4... slept for awhile, then went for dinner and head back to klang...

reach home, sleep and today, started slaving away again...
