spicy & duckie

Finally my phone is back after a couple of long days at the docs! got my speakers fixed. i've been so eager waiting to post up the pictures on my phone! hehe.

Dad has always talked about spicy’s friend in the garden. She’ll chase the fella, use her paws to stop the fella from running, or even carrying the fella in her mouth playfully. So I’ve always been curious about this friend of hers. Never seen them in action until one day I was playing with her in the garden at night and spotted her much-talked about friend finally! Meet Duckie! ( saja name the toad to duckie la )


Spot duckie! I’ve made it easy with the first few photos, circling duckie in red, in case u missed her. ( erm..or him.. ) :p oh, and if u think spicy's eyes look weird, i simply photoshopped it, blotted it with black to stop her from having glaring eyes.

And finally yesterday night after my wifi failed on me, I did the cameratoss thingy with my phone. ( not a very smart move la actually since I just got it fixed )

i got the streak of light cos my room was dimmed, with the ikea lamp by my bed as the only source. ( i was listening to corrine bailey rae btw) ooooohh.. it was shiokness i tell u to be serenaded by her. oh and bailey's the other name i want to name my daughter with. haha...

what goes around, comes around

and we were all laughing at eric when he broke the cufflinks sam brought back from china.

"wah cufflinks also can break!"

i got one of those fr him. quite a surpise actually. most would give bookmarks, bracelets, keychains or anything other stuffs tat would spell C-H-I-N-A so it was a nice change receiving cufflinks.

so this morning, i tried to put it on my sleeves while i was driving. and u guessed it right! i broke it! aiyo wat a klutz i am. :( sobs sobs!! im so sorry sam!

but cufflinks are quite cool man! never gotten around buying them but i think i soon will!! :D

to the left, to the left

erm. never really liked the song. but boy was i swamped with those words on monday. "to the left, to the right, to the front, to the back...face me! one two three four! come on!"

LOL

started by watching them do it. never tot i'd be able to do it. i mean i think i can do it if i wanted to, but i just couldn't picture myself doin it. funny lar. but was there already so y not just give it a try kan?

i was actually led to believe by dear sam that jazzercise was stretching with jazz music. so sets lar. sounds quite relaxing ma. mana tahu it was more than tat! skipping lar, weights lar, sit ups lar..wah liao! super tiring. was laughing at myself trying to keep up with the steps. lifting my right leg as others are lifting their left, moving to the left when others are moving to the right. tsktsk. ( im useless with my left and right if you didn't already know. :p ) so i really had to concentrate to get it right. super funny lar.

but laughing at ourselves were so enjoyable till the four of us signed up right after tat. so from now on, it'll be 2 classes of jazzercise every week. wee!! first time we're doing such stuffs together! exciting! ehhe.

I’ve had lingering thoughts to sponsor a child recently but being the bum that I am, never gotten to finding more information bout it. So it must be heaven-sent when I stumbled upon the site through some random person’s blog today.

Do check it out and see whether your conscience convicts you to contribute in some way or another. :D

i am an avid supporter of retail theraphy.



woohoo!!!!!

i found this quite funny.

this has got to go down in the books.

the day started rather normally.

Woke up a little late as usual *yawn* to find that it was drizzling outside. Ahhh, perfect weather to sleep in.

I was heading towards the highway outside my housing area when I saw the traffic starting to build bout 200meters away. I sighed..

If the traffic wasn’t enough to ruin your beautiful sleepy morning, the next thing I knew, the engine died. “shucks, shucks,shucks!”

Couldn’t start it back so I was trying to calm myself down, thinking of the next thing I should do. From my mirror, I could see cars and cars having to switch to the next lane to avoid my stalled one. :(

So the next wise thing to do is to pick up your phone to call your parents or friends kan?

To cut the long story short, after numerous calls and failed SMSes, I realized that my phone is barred. Bummer. ( the saying "Malang Tidak Berbau" adds more meaning to me now)

I would’ve loved to say that God miraculously started my car, or that He miraculously unbarred my phone, but He didn’t. I guess he had other lessons in mind for me.

So I sat in the car for another 10 minutes or so, weighing my choices. Actually I don’t hav much of a choice really, unless I’m thinking of flagging down a random car to use their handphone. hmm, haha..better not la hah…

So I got of out of the car, got my bag and laptop, locked it, and prayed tat it’ll still be there when I return with the toll car. And hopefully no one is tat oblivious to ram into my poor car. ( the toll guy told me after that I didn’t even pulled my handbrakes or returned the gear to ‘P’) Guess I overlooked that tiny bit :P

Honestly, I was feeling quite sorry for myself. It was drizzling, I was walking, my heels were killing me, I’m starting to get blisters, the cars were passing and nobody stopped to help this poor damsel in distress.

Haha, kidding lar. I’d rather be left alone.

so i walked and i walked and i walked...and then JENG JENG JENG!

It was as though I’m looking at a finishing line when I saw my dad’s car parked at the side of my house.

It was like feeling Coke trickling down your throat when you’re super duper thirsty.
Or smelling KFC when you’ve been craving it for days
Or finally finding your parking ticket when you’ve been frantically searching for it the last 15 minutes.

YESSSSSSSSS!!! I made it!! hahaa..

(getting a lil bit too drama aren’t I? *wink*)

Ok la I strayed off topic liao. Lol. Well, the car’s is at the mechanic now. This adding on to the list of problems I had with THE car since the beginning of this year. ( yes, its only March)

So…What did I learn from this episode??

It's to ALWAYS pay your phone bills on time!! HAHAHA..

And

Empathy. i think i'm lacking in that for quite awhile dy.

Now, looking at it that way didn’t leave me feeling all that lousy anymore. :D

the most talked about movie now.

Never have I been a fan of action movies.

It’s too kan cheong for me la. My heart cannot take it. Haha..

I remember last week when buying tickets, (I get the privilege to choose the movie since I’m the one queueing for them!) I chose Pursuit of Happyness instead of 300 simply because I didn’t feel like a 300 movie that night. Wasn’t feeling all blood and gore and jus wanted a feel good movie la basically.


But my oh my. I watched 300 the other day and I’m speechless!!! It’s super good! Was looking out for the supposedly good looking male & female leads, but truth be told, I was quite disappointed! Not tat good looking also!

So it’s not because of the undeniable appeal of the sweaty+hotbody+rugged men that I say it’s good, ( well, maybe just a lil *wink*) but the whole cool factor of the movie. Everything’s so superbly cool! The moves, the jumps, the lines, the war cries, the slow mo scenes, the intense rock songs, their armour, their strength, the backdrop, the colour…man, I’m feeling the goosebumps already! hehe..


I especially love this scene. The men were advancing in a line with their armours and swords, packs and all, slow mo, accompanied by this heart thumping rock song, to which I found out is called “To Victory”. Super power exhilarating to the max!!

Even though I was ooohing and ahhhing and cringing and tightly squeezing my jacket and grabbing the arms of the person next to me, I came out from the movie feeling all pumped up.

Check this out!

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROAARRRRRR!!! *war cries of some sort* :p

p/s: shucks, after writing this i feel like watching it again! lol

man, we're good!

4 trips to bkt kiara in a week is something im very proud of!

haha.

really, where got so semangat wan if not for KK? tsktsk.

imagine quickly packing up once it reaches 6, pop over to sharon's place to change, then hit the after-work traffic...all these just to reach before it gets dark. once we were late and only started at 730. ( walk takes bout an hour) seems like we're the only ones left and was quite scary lor!

good thing is i can really feel that it gets increasingly easier after each walk. bingo! i'm getting healthier! haha..

but im still far off the needed fitness for KK la... bleh... :p

guys, if you're reading this...22 more days to go!! lol

play.stop.repeat.

when im hooked on a song, i'm really REALLY hooked on it. i'll play it again and again the whole day like how i did with JustinTimberlake's SexyBack last weekend. this time its WayBackIntoLove by HughGrant&HaleyBennett. (haley! tat's wat i always wanted to name my daughter next time. lol) i'm even listening to it while im typing this. hehe.

sigh.

HUGS!

HAHAHHA..

p/p/s: goodness! my bunny teeth looks so apparent here. hehe..

“Are you excited? After all, it’s the first CG.”

Excited? Hmmm, I never thought about that. should I be? Shucks!! if I wasn’t, does that mean I’m apathetic? Would it mean that I do not care?

What is it like now? Has anything changed?? Would I feel like an outcast? Would I feel lost? How am I going to talk to them? How to click lar? Oh, I’m intimidated! They know more than me! They think more than me! I feel stupid. I feel inadequate. How to teach? What can I possibly offer? All this plus another thousand and one questions doing the 100m lap in my head.

Then somebody said this while at CG today.

“You are back”

Those words still ring in my ears now. Simple words, but oh how much I love hearing them!

As I rang the doorbell, walked into the house, sat at the living area or chat during refreshments, I remember this is the house that I’ve faithfully attended CG every Friday 2 years ago. And here I am in that same house again, back at square one. It seems like it was only yesterday. Really. Everything feels the same, even the jokes!! (thank God??) lol... I could even picture Adeline sitting at the couch with her pink top and beige pants!

Unbelievable!

Seems like the questions that I’ve asked throughout the months have been answered. Well, I still don’t know how much I can offer and I’m still nervous thinking bout doing a lesson but I certainly do know that I’m at home.

Yes, very much at home. :D

I must...

Watch heroes tonight.

Was so gung ho asking Voon for his CD when I saw him watching it in his house and then copying it to my laptop.

It was about 2 weeks ago I think. Those nights when I purposely bring home my laptop, telling myself that I would watch them.....

2 weeks later and I still haven’t watched a single episode yet.

I know I would be hooked at it once i start but the first step is ALWAYS the hardest ain’t it? bleh!

So tonight I must I must I must navigate to the folder and double click on it! haha.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YEW CHANG CHIA!

It was chandler’s birthday on Monday so we met up to celebrate celebrate at Shanghai 10, Avenue K. To me, this is certainly not a place worth going again.


The demure ladies

The macho men, trying to pose, giggling and laughing all the way

Finally did the serious pose

And then the lepak one. i seriously think the guys are more posers than us. Tsktsk.

Don’t ask me what the initials mean. You wouldn’t wanna know :P

isnt it disappointing to have your bubble burst?

by ur dad??

and the worst thing is you know very well that he's right.

oh well...nothing a good sleep cant solve. :D

3°10'39.20"N, 101°42'15.68"E

I’ve always been a fan of lights, view and wheels so the arrival of The Eye this year got much of my attention. It’s the tallest portable observation wheel in South East Asia at the moment, according to wikipedia, comprising 42 gondolas.


How to get there? Easy. Just follow the coordinates above. :D

spicyjoy.

I’m sure those working will know what it means to have a blah day at work. i had one of these and was just feeling lousy. But thank god I had these 2 therapeutic activities to indulge in to help me chill a bit.

1) trimming my purple plant
2) playing with Spicy

Playing with Spicy can sometimes be frustrating though cos she’s mischievous. Her mischief includes biting n tugging the edges of my shorts or shirt and when im standing, this means she’ll have to jump a bit to reach. Sometimes, no actually most of the time, she’ll miscue when she jumps and ends up biting my leg which can hurt quite a bit. And furthermore, she doesn’t not sit when I ask her to! Bad girl!

But she is lovely. So lovely that if a day went by without me playing with her, I’ll feel guilty.


Here she is taking a snooze on my lap. She loves burying her nose when she sleeps, mostly done with her paws. In this case, it’s between my thighs. :P

understanding them.

Gloria n myself joined mum and dad at their friend’s place yesterday and there we were, the only kids among 8 adults. I don’t mind sitting in listening to their conversations like how I used to do when I was a little kid, over the dinner table with my uncles and aunties. ( provided that their stories don’t include telling me the thousand and one ways on how to trim the bonsai plants ) In fact, their stories were pretty interesting, mostly revolving around travels and houses. ( my interest in taking a trip to Cambodia is now amplified by 10! )

It was enjoyable listening to the parents talking about their children, seeing the men kacau-ing their wives and the wives 'sharing' about them in return when they took their only-male conversations outside. It’s in these small but enlightening nevertheless meetups that I get reminded about their shoes as my parents. Or any other parents’ for that matter. Their love, their aspirations, their hope, their disappointment which we sometimes fail to see due to our selfish wants.

This sentence is all too familiar thanks to mum and dad…

“you’ll only know once you become a parent”

I know I know. I mean I know that I’ll only know after I become a parent. :p

p/s: i think i got a muscle pull and am now walking with a slight limp. shucks!
