Tagged again!

I'm not doing this purposely - to have posts back to back on being tagged.
Oh well.. I actually have another blog where I prefer to blog there if need to puts up pictures, bigger space.. sort of. So, if I MIA for a little too long, I might be blogging over there where it initially started off together with another friend... but he MIA longer than me. Hmm...

Ok, back to the tagged thingy. I got tagged by Calv

Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose five people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks

1. One of my dreams is to watch Manchester United at Old Trafford
2. I'm rather disturbed with the fact that I dont have a dream that if I achieved, I will be blissfully happy
3. I like to sit under the table when I'm sad... like inside a cocoon
4. When I hold a cup/glass, my last finger somehow would be pointed out
5. I'm right handed, but I place my glass/cup/soup on my left side and I hold my cup/glass with my left hand when I'm eating
6. I actually own a 3rd blog where only about 10 people know the existent of it and the url. The actual number of people who reads it is probably only 2.
7. "Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success... flat stretches of boring routine. And valleys of frustration and failure" Quoted from Calvin, The Indispensable Calvin & Hobbes is one of my favourite quotes.
8. I've learned... that the below sentence is true
   "I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back"
9. There is "season" for my eating habits. Eg: There would be a time that I would want to eat chocolates, but after that period of time, give me bars and bars of choc, I'll just leave it in the fridge.
10. My mini compo is set to 60 minutes sleep mode every night before I sleep.

I'm dreaming...

Don't really have the mood to write, probably havent been writing for a while... anyway, saw this "What Tarot Card are You?" at Kimmie's page and just for fun, went to try.

The outcome of it shows "You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project."
That word in red... that prompts me to blog. It's like a sign, telling me, go take your Ph.D or whatever.. anyway.. that's that...

You are the World

Completion, Good Reward.

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.

The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

Chicken Nuggets

Went to this Mc* fast food chain the other day, the one in Bukit Bintang before my Japanese class to get a quick bite. As I had 2 slices of sandwiches already, thought of not having so much food and wanted to get the 4 pieces Chicken Nugget. However...

Me: Do you have the 4 piece Chicken Nugget?
Mc* Staff: Sudah habis. 6 ketul ada (translation: Finished, but have the 6 pieces one)
Me: O_O (in heart: what kind of logic is that... 4 pieces finished but still have the 6 pieces one??)

Anyway, I did not press on it, after all time to go to class already. But... it's illogical right?

2 moons on 27 August 2006

Ok.. I should've put this up earlier. Anyway, did you or did you not get this email, telling you at certain time on 27/8/06 you will see 2 moons? Of course, literally it's 2 moons, but one is actually the Mars.

Well, yah... there isn't any. Stupid me looked up the sky at various position from the apartment I stayed. There isn't any moon. (My sis secretly told me dont tell people, cos pai seh). So we re-enter the house, and check the calendar. Mmmm... 27/8/06 is actually the 4th on Chinese calender - which also means... you wont get any moon, let alone FULL MOON. So, nothing happenned... I went back to sleep. But, this reminds me of what happenned 2-3 years back.


I checked back the cert, there's no date printed on it. Yes, cert. Remember a few years back where it was said that the Mars is closest to Earth since 73,000 years? Well, that one is not a myth. I did went and see, and went for 3 times. Effort to see Mars :P

1st day: It was a drizzling night, the Planetarium has hosted a "watching" Mars thingy. Knowing very much that you can't even see stars on raining nights, but my sis and me still insisted on taking my poor bike out for a round, just in case can see the Mars (kiasu mah). Well, fact is a fact, not even stars but we gathered that the Astronomer's Club would set up their telescope the next day in the field opposite Amcorp Mall

2nd day: A fine night, no rain. Unfortunately, it was way too fine. KL sky are way too bright. Try looking up the sky if you are in KL, it usually appears reddish instead of black. So, though luck to see any stars in such bright sky. We lined up, waiting at the telescope, loitered around... still no Mars to be sighted.

3rd day: I dont remember as to why I didnt go to my elderest sis's house but my second sis did. Probably had to work. Anyway, 2nd sis saw Mars from elderest sis's house - its not KL, its at Sungai Long, outskirt of KL. Called me and asked me to go to Bukit Jalil. At that time, I was still staying in Setapak, take my bike again, all the way to Bukit Jalil, to look at that "little" planet. After all the effort, it has finally paid off. We saw Mars, and yes, that time was really Mars, even got a cert and it was said that it will be many, many, many years before we can see it in our sky again... so i guess, the email was a faux

The cert - a few years old

Ikan bakar attack!

Mmmm.. I ate ikan bakar for 4 days in a row... last Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Should've bring my camera & take pictures of all the 4 days' ikan bakar that I ate... Unfortunately I only remember to take on Saturday... with 4 pair of hands... waiting to dive their fork and spoon while I take a quick snap. Here are the pictures... :)

The fish

The sotong

and.. the la-la

Crown Jewel Hotel, Penang - 4 star???

Well... that's what I heard, though I'm not quite sure the 4 star is on which part of the hotel. Personally, there are a few things as to why I dont quite agree.

1. The floor carpet is dirty. There are red spots on the carpet
2. The ONE additional electrical point is faulty. I had to pull off the light connection to boil water, to charger mobile phone charger
3. 2 way pin cannot go in the electrical point. Hence I cant charge my camera battery which explains why I didnt take many of the hotel picture
4. There is no kettle in the room. I called the reception, they told me to call room service. I called room service, I'm told to call housekeeping. Fine, maybe I did call the wrong extension but after waiting for 20-30 minutes, nobody come knocking at the door. I was hungry (no lunch), I went out of the room as coincidentally saw some housekeeping staff cleaning the few rooms down, I requested for a kettle. The staff casually open the door of a room & passed me the kettle inside.
5. The electric point of the kettle is broken but usable. Well.. since can use.. still tolerable.
6. The toilet is dirty. Can practically see that the toilet bowl is yellowish in colour. Tsk.. tsk..
7. There is no hair dryer in the room. My sister rang housekeeping for a hair dryer. We are already lying in bed almost dozed off and her hair is almost dry and someone knocked the door, only then the hair dryer came.
8. The basin is clogged up. If you have a weak stomach, then dont look at the basin right after someone brushed their teeth... leave it for say... at least 30 minutes.
9. The coffee table is sticky and dirty. I had to clean it myself before dare to put anything on it.
10. The menu in the restaurant indicated nett price but the staff informed us that we need to pay 10% service tax & 5% government tax. After we complained a few times... they didnt charge us.
11. The ones more tolerable are - there is no remote control in the room (despite the apparently 4 star), the air con is not cold, one of the lamp in the room is faulty.

There you have it.. to sum it up, not recommended. By the way... its not cheap either oh...

Boys like Girls who are thin

True? Not true? Depends? (I think people like that answer... depends :p)
Anyway - I quote that phrase from Ino, Naruto Episode 192. I know, I know, the lastest episode of Naruto is at Episode 195, just that I'm a little backtracked, havent finished watching yet. In fact just finished watching Episode 192 a couple of minutes ago.

The story is somewhat like this...
Ino and Naruto was sent to a mission to another village where the princess has gained some weight before her date with a feudal lord's son (Chikara-sama). This princess (Princess Fuku) sent over her thin picture over to Chikara-sama before the big date day, and while waiting for the big day, she was a bit too nervous and indulged in too much food at night. Somehow she looked like Ino (before putting on the kilogrammes), hence wants Ino to be her double to capture Chikara-sama's heart.

To cut the story short, there's chaos cos this Chikara-sama himself is not exactly thin and of course, not Ino's cup of tea. Also coupling with Naruto's changing himself to look like Princess Fuku and do funny funny stuff. Story ended with Princess Fuku showed herself and Chikara-sama love the fatty version of her.

Of course, Ino was a little hurt. In that episode, she said, "My virgin soul is scarred" :P

So, back to it, "Boys likes Girls who are thin". Is it true? What say you?

Hanging out at Kuchai Lama

Last Friday, I went out to eat with Bay Bee Dino at Kuchai Lama. Bay Bee Dino likes those kedai kopi type of shop, so we went to try food in Old Town (something like that). She had nasi lemak and I already eaten company-provide-dinner, so I only ordered "pineapple bun". I remember it got some canggih name on the menu but I just can't remember what it is, but anyway its pineapple bun lar...

This is how it looks like, and between the top & bottom bun, there's a layer of butter. Yummy. Unfortunately, forgotten to take picture of the nasi lemak that Bay Bee Dino ate.

After that, we went to this shop, a few doors away. It is this newly opened stationery shop. I can hardly remember going to economical stationery shop in KL. Serious, you can get really affordable stationery there. Do check it out.

The Art of Going to Pasar Malam

The last couple of weeks, Little P brought me to pasar malam... and taught me the art of going to pasar malam.

1. Must leave work at 5.15 sharp, if not max must leave by 5.30 pm
2. Must go to pasar malam early to avoid the crowd
3. If drive, must park near the pasar malam but not too near so that easier to go off
4. If ride motorbike, must bring a pillion rider so that can buy more things
5. If die die cannot find someone to go, can only buy small small things so can bring home
6. When want to buy things, ask your friend to stand in front to hog a bit of space so that the probability of ordering is higher.

But anyway... no more pasar malam for the time being... got class every Tuesday for the next 2 months.

Hair Chopstick?

Last week before Tuesday...

Nite: I want to buy the chopstick thingy that you tie bun with... where can get yah?
Bay bee dino: At pasar malam sure got one... and cheap
Nite: Ok ok..
Little P: Can go pasar malam on Tuesday


Last Tuesday at Sri Petaling Pasar Malam
Little P: That bay bee dino say sure got... how come we walk so many stalls dont have ar? Only got those with things dangling here and there
Nite: Dont know wor...

We walked and walked till finally spotted it at one of the stalls

Little P: Ei, buy 3 lar. One put in house, one put in office, one in case patah (break)
Nite: But its RM 3.50 wor, buy 3 more than RM 10 already.
Little P: Then buy 2. One put in house and one in case patah.
Nite: Ok ok.. but wont be so fragile gua...


Yesterday...
The weather was rather hot, thought I'll bun up my hair.
Nite: Aiyak... i broke it -__-"


Bay bee dino was having a good laugh and ask me to post it... so here are some pictures...

The broken off part. The one on the right, I've tried to "shaved" off the chipped off part

This is how the original one look like

This is the comparison between the one broken and the one not... See.. the part broken is thin.. not my fault :P

Vietnam Jackfruit Chips

Well... that colleague of ours who invited us over for lunch, had actually just went back to Vietnam last week... and he brought this back. It's sort of like snack, tid bits to be exact. However, it has all the original taste of jack fruit. Aside from jack fruit, there's also banana one but that one seems to be sticking to teeth. I quote from Day, "You eat one, you will have to spend 10 minutes trying to clean your teeth."

But this jack fruit one is good. So, if you do go to Vietnam, try looking for it. Guess it good to be brought back as souvenir, a lot of people can share the food ;)

Yummy

Lucky... one of our Vietnam colleagues invited us to have a vietnamese food lunch. The food is so good. Now I know why my colleague goes home everyday during lunch for his home-cooked lunch. Also he never orders the company food, cos he also got home-cooked dinner.

Lucky us... get to eat nice, Vietnamese food prepared by Vietnamese :)

Yummy... vietnamese food is good :)

Resuscitate

I was off blogging for a while... though not as long as the certain piggy who oinked at Piggy Tales, but anyway, I was on hiatus for a pretty long while.

Well, I guess the writing just take a step back together with the loss of internet connection. A friend commented that the condition was as if I had loss of both arms and both legs :P
So I guess if that was the case, I'm recovered... as streamyx is resuscitate. So in the meanwhile, me chasing the last 2 disc of Prince of Tennis which had keep me company through the "dark" 2 months... and busy keeping up with the loss episodes of Naruto and Bleach.

Able to watch anime and read manga is a bliss. :)

Miscellaneous

Well... its miscellaneous, made up of the pictures that I wanted to blog but never got around doing it...

That is vietnamese food, brought all the way back from Vietnam to here.. even the food had expired and I didnt get around to blog it. :P

-------------------------------

And this.. is manually crushed sugar.. to make it fine so that it dissolve when shake with cocktail shaker. It's part of the ingredient to make gimlet...

... and.. this is manually squeezed lime juice. I got limited kitchen apparatus.. so everything have to do manually, without machinery aid... but me bodoh, forgot to take the picture of the final product. :P

------------------------------------

And the below... is the pop up card that I made for a colleague as she has left for the greener pasture

There... end of miscellaneous posting :P

Internet

Was talking with Little P the other day on joining certain societies or organisation to "get to know" more people... well, you know, know more people, higher chances of getting to know the other half...

Nite: Why you no encourage me to go one?

Little P: Cos you not desperate yet

Nite: But.. I am desperate also...

Little P: O_o

Nite: Desperate for internet

Little P: Nothing to do with boyfriend also

Nite: Got... I need a boyfriend so that
1. I can go his house to surf the net
2. He can subsidize me for internet subscription

Little P: Like that also can ar?

Nite: :P can...

Unofficial??

A conversation I had with Roach the other day.....

Day: What happen to you? (looking at him being restless)
Roach: Bad thing happened. I had a fight with my girlfriend.
Day: Ooo... about what?
Roach: It is funny, the relationship that we are having. I don't know why she is so upset. It isn't like she is my girlfriend.
Day: uh? I thought you mentioned that she is?
Roach: It is unofficial. I only see her two times and I'm not ready to start a relationship. Want it to go slow...
Day: I see....

Just now....

Day: talking, talking... so want to go or not?
Roach: But but I have to ask my girlfriend if she want to go or not.
Day: o_O I thought she is not your girlfriend?
Roach: Unofficial girlfriend.
Day: What?! How can you tell people that you have a girlfriend when you are treating her like she is not? What do you mean it is unofficial? A girlfriend means girlfriend, how can it be unofficial??
Roach: .....

Can anyone explain to me what does unofficial girlfriend means?

Yawn!!

Take a look at the time of this post... well, I just woke up 3 hours ago, at 10 pm. Took at "nap" at 5 pm just now... and woke up at 10 pm. Didnt really want to wake up but just check the time on my mobile phone and noted of a sms my friend sent. Well, i have to compose a long email to reply that... might as well. Anyway, after this post, I'm going off to bed :D

I didnt really blog as much nowadays, not that there isnt anything going around. In brief, it's basically work, work and work. I'm overwhelm with work, can barely finish anything and putting up with everybody who seem so change their mind over a few days or hours. I'm tired.

To top that up, last Tuesday I accidentally knock the motorbike in front of me and someone knocked me from behind cos Mr Front braked and Mr Behind decided that I should pay him regardless the big fat fact that he knocked me from behind. Well...dont know what was in my head then, I refuse to pay him... argued with him at the road side. He was smoking and giving me threatening stares, aside from stomping on my bike. Yes.. you know, how people actually put their weight on someone's car/bike. He did that and nobody comes to my rescue and me... dont know what got into me, still refuse to pay him. I offered to go to police station though, to report on that small incident and obviously he declined.

Well, thereafter he "graciously" told me he will let me off cos I'm a girl. (well... if so, how come he stomped on my bike... I wonder) but things didnt end there. Upon reaching office, notice my bike got a flat tyre. Or going to be flat one, took it over to one of the petrol station but confirmed dead. The magic of petrol stations are that mechanics would scribble their phone number on the floor or at the place where you pump air so I resorted to calling each and every one till I got a mechanic to come over. (apparently there are few phone numbers that doesnt belong to a workshop).

So there... short update on my days, a week ago.. I'm off to bed, again! ;)
