Secret Santa'

Truly tis’ the season to be jolly! This is the time of the year where one is happier to give than to receive. Isn’t it so well said? Are we truly happy when we give? Or is it just a myth that we would receive good out of doing so and that Santa gives to those who has been good all year round? I guess the answer lies in all of us. Only we know ourselves well…. :0 As for me, I do find giving better than receiving but that is provided that I found someone worthy as my recipient. I have not had any motivation to do any gifts this year which was so unlike last year. Perhaps this lil’ Santa is done with all the giving.....

Powerpuff on the other hand, has kept herself busy by being a game organizer for this Xmas season. The nature of the game is kind of interesting~ Secret Santa. Can you guess how it is played? J Well, one is supposed to be nice to a selected person throughout the period of time where the game is played. (Till Xmas that is!) One can conjure up kind deeds, little pressies every now and then, basically any nice actions that one can think of! I daresay it is difficult to keep the creative deeds flowing…. Only at the end of the game that the recipient be able to find out who the Secret Santa is!

Here's the card tat she made!

I quite like the idea of the game as if you’re a shy person, this can be a way for you to be nice to someone without being that obvious! I would love to have a Secret Santa- it’s like having a guardian angel over you. Imagine if this person is out to do good deeds for you. You will have breakfast, lunch and tea time all provided for you! Haha…. Fat chance of that happening!

An E-Y-E for an E-Y-E….

Does it really work wonders after a few sessions? Had my first try at home after my long week at JB. What better times to have such pampering session when one is alone… Resorted to a face mask and an eye mask. Aaah… was truly rejuvenated after the face mask. Instant hydration! Wonder which mask is the best. Shall continue testing each one out though the one that I had was quite good-NIVEA hydrating mask. Next was the Watson’s Eye Mask… Hehe! Alright I admit that I bought it as I f ound that to be the cheapest! Well, I can’t be blamed as I had not tried on such eye products before and am not sure this will work. After 15 mins of having it on under my eye, I truly felt somewhat refreshed though the instructions says to keep eyes closed during the duration. I took the time to play with my pet on pet society most of the time! Oops…… Am not very good with instructions! J Well, I guess that it is human nature to go against rules as only by doing so that we feel empowered on our own! I think I shall try to follow what is stated behind the package for better result the next time round!

** wonder if I would have beautifuller ( O-O ) eyes then…….. **

Does it really work?

Beauty Products & Women- what's the correlation between the both of them?
~ YES, U got it! They can't live without each other!!!.....

Wonder how much the beauty industry makes out of women? With the amount a woman spend on per month alone, the numbers must be staggering! Products ranges from the tinniest products to aesthetic salons. As they are bombarded with images of beautiful women in the entertainment industry, more and more women are opting for the quickest solution to be one themselves!

Lonely Days.....5

JB- Day 5

After a morning spent at work, it was our long trip back to KL. Funny how I wasn’t looking forward to returning home. Perhaps it was pure bliss being able to wake up in the morning – indulging in fresh air and greeneries around me. Maybe, the fact that it is a small town and the distance to work only takes 5 minutes. Everything here is of convenience (that is if you’re staying in the hotel) = Big flat screen service, internet, relaxing shower, 24 hr air-conditioned room, blow-dryer, iron, Queen sized bed. Only thing that was missing was the absence of a fridge! Aah… it’s like having all you need after work and the peaceful quietness that you need every now and then. But all good things must come to an end......

Wonder how it would be like coming back to the hustle and bustle life!

Oh ya... managed to catch a glimpse of Yau Hwa's pups ... altogether there were 8 of them but 1 got eaten by the mummy.. so sad. :) here she is standing guard over her precious bundle....

Lonely Days....4

JB- Day 4
(It’s all about you…..”L”)

The various creations of bread and pastries, not to mention the many creative and quaint cakes and tarts… these sweet lil’ things are mostly captivating especially so to ladies out there who are always in search of the latest product. It does not matter whether it’s purely for consumption or merely for the purpose of addictive “FB photo cam-whorers”, the creativity of the person behind this chain of pastry haven must be recognized.

~ LAVENDER ~ This is the place which captivated a few of us who visited JB. Although it is exactly like a bakery, the variety of bread and buns there vary so in designs and tastes! It truly makes us feel like we want to purchase all there are there! They also have varieties of cookies and biscuits. The wide selection of cakes and tarts would make one salivate just from looking at them! Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures of their product. (I do find it somehow ridiculous as they should be proud that we wish to snap some pictures!)

Nevertheless, we sat down for our lunch there. It was the most relaxing as we took time to enjoy the hour spent there. I was not that adventurous and so I only ordered waffle and a drink that resembles “Assam drink”. It was a light meal for me and I felt so much lighter than my colleague who ate Chicken Teriyaki Rice and Mushroom Soup! Now you may start to wonder why does a place like this serve lunch? I guess it is how bakeries in JB operate. There are many bakeries which serve café style food. There’s another popular bakery- “SEASONS” which was a few doors away… They have already put up Christmas decorations all over the shops. That was a plus point for the ambience!

Though I was not as crazy over it as the last time I was there, I did buy 2 boxes of pineapple cookies for my colleagues who would not miss out the chance to grab them whenever they are there! :P It is always such a nice feeling giving someone a gift. It is knowing that they will enjoy them that brightens me up! J Also, perhaps because of the cute Santa Claus paper bag that made me feel like I MUST get something from the shop! Sigh….women and their "natural" instincts…

For dinner, we went to Pelangi area in search of something other than what they offer at Permas. We made a short stop at The Zon. That was the time when I realized that there is nothing much to do there if you do not drink! There weren’t many restaurants for us to choose from therefore we ended up at a food court area (covered only with sail sheets). We chose right as the Claypot Rice was delicious!!! At last a good choice done! It was funny how my colleague thought that I was kidding him when I mentioned that the burnt rice is edible and the tastiest. It was a riot watching him scrape them with all his might after he found out how delicious it really was!

P/s:- These were the only thing that I remembered of the day- maybe it’s due to the fault of my friend who FFK-ed our date at nite!

Time spent in the room after dinner = Endless………………

Lonely Days....3

JB- Day 3

Woke up to a fresh morning! Body totally rejuvenated after a good nite's sleep. Begining to like the life here actually. How can one not when the drive to work takes only 5 mins? Fresh air and greeneries (though it's slightly kampung-ee), the sight of the cute kindy (where kids are off for their vacation!).... Pure bliss! The kindy..cute rite?

The hours spent there were kinda unbearable as we were not so sure of what to do. Therefore the wait was long till lunch. Decided to drop by Lavender bakery after our Old Town lunch (yes- u must be wondering, all the way to JB for tat!). There's this infatuation over "Lavender"! Perhaps it's the thought that it only exist in JB. They're like everywhere here in malls. Of cos, it can't be compared to the 2-shop branch they have near Pelangi.

Anyway, I bought these for self indulgence & photo taking! :p

Charcoal Twisted Bun- Looks like..... S**T! Heehee.. But it's actually soft and fluffy! Nice...

And here's some Madeleines. Buttery and homely..(which I am chewin on rite at this moment!)

*Just read the instructions-PLS keep refrigerated*

Ooops.......... !

After the impulse buying, it was back to work for us again-blissful afternoon.... And soon it was

time for dinner. We just made a quick stop for as I had made a date wit my pal, yau hwa for a session of BADMINTON! haha... Wat a laugh rite? A game of that all the way here in JB.

Penang Prawn Mee- Tastes alright. :)

The first sight that greeted me as we arrived (after many phone calls!) All the way to Gelang Patah....

He really sweated bucket loads! REally have not seen a person sweat tat much! The drops of sweat can clearly be seen and u can actually squeeze the water out!!!... ( Another way to detoxify the body! frm alcahol!)

As for me, I just played at the side wit them when they were free to entertain me! :) My colleauge enjoyed his game and tat was good... At least we did smthing in JB. I got to do some exercise. Actually life here seems much healthier! Hmm....

Bought Harry Potter-6 in 1 DVD(RM 15) and Khalil Fong's Cd(Rm 5) at the yum cha session after... twas a fruitful day!

Lonely Days.... 2

JB- Day 2

Changed to an inn named Yang Tze hotel (an inn actually). Ahh.. this was more like it though it's still small but it's way better than Lavender. I need not go through the whole CSI process.

Started to display all toiletry items and clothes around the room to make me feel more at home! haha..... did not think of how it would be like for room service the next day! Funny how we are like when we're away- we still keep to our own habits of putting away things neatly though we are at a place where room service is available. Is it that we're so used to being our own slave?

Should be nice to indulge in bad habits now then spashly when we're far away from controlling mums and partners! Throw things around, scatter the toiletries, leave the room with unmade beds! :P

Anyway, was glad to have met up wit Yau Hwa for some drinks at the ZON. At least another

look at how JB's night life is like...... :)
The Zon area. Wit lotsa pubs and a few clubs. The one with extremely bright lights is a NightClub. Jb's trademark places. :)

Managed to snap a pic wit my bud, Jacky Chan (pronounced Chen!) ha ha...

The hotel lounge where there's a philipino live band. Not bad environment just tat it's pretty warm. According to Yau Hwa, there used to be hundreds of rats tat comes out in search of food once the lights are dimmed bout 12 something. Guessed they solved the problem now! :)

LoNeLy Days...

JB- Day 1

First impression of the room tat I checked into:-

• small
• tiny weenie
• P-r-i-S-o-n

It truly felt prison-like cos as soon as I opened the door, I caught a whiff of cigarette smell. It's like an after party-effect. Made me wonder if the person B4 had a "jolly good time" the nite b4 or the few hours b4!!!

Well, for hygene purposes, I resorted to comb through the bed just to make myself sleep better at nite. I was lucky to find some gold-"hair"... haha! Twas disgusting and to show tat I'm a brave gal, I cleared it all off and convinced myself tat at least the bed sheet and pillow are clean.

The nite must still go on, so I headed for the shower room (which is just a step away frm the bed). ** Warning:- Am not kidding u!** Evidence as shown here. Luckily everything was clean in the toilet. **thumbs up toilet**.. though it is a lil small really cos i was practically showerin half of my body away frm the toilet bowl. :)

I had a good nite sleep nevertheless and of cos (wit all the lights and tv on) , woke up refreshed.

And off to another hotel I go... oops, inn.

I LoVe Penang....

Even if the person whom I hate most in the world is here, I wouldn't mind! As I would then have someone to argue with and not just have empty silence bouncing off the walls. Yes, am all alone now, cooking up an updated blog as I have nothing else to do except to watch some TV. Lucky thing that I brought my netbook though I had to fork out Rm10 for a LAN cable.

Where am I? In a land where sun and waves take place, where food is abundant and night life is most enjoyable... the beautiful island~ Penang... As I toured the island today, I can't help but to recall the good times that I've had here. The warm sun and cool waves, the exotic food, the bright lights and quaint night market and most importantly the company! Instead of going through all those activities again now that I am here, I am now in a room reminiscing those times. That trip took place in year 2007. Twas a trip to remember...

We had lots of sun and beach at Feringghi beach, a variety of food at Gurney Drive, a selection of goods at Feringghi night market, drinks and fun at Slippery Senoritas down at town... Most savoured memories for most of us. Spashly for me as they celebrated my birthday for me on the very night that we got here. I think that was the last trip that we made together in such a big group.

After that trip, we've been askin one another- when are we to make such a trip again? We are always sayin " yea yea, we should do it again 1 day". But when? We never got around planning the answer... Perhaps it's time to ~ Carpe Diem~ Seize the day! Maybe it's not such a bad thing after all now that I am alone here....

** Forming a plan for old times sake **.....

Things that I enjoy throughout the day:-

1. Waking up on the “right side” of the bed
2. The sweet smell of fresh air
3. Birds chirping gaily
4. Happy waggily dog tails
5. Being able to put on something stylish for the day
6. Good time management in the morning
7. Smooth traffic and less honking
8. Fried sausages, ham, eggs, baked beans, side toast with lots of butter & jam

15. Receiving random hilarious msges from fellow colleagues
16. Discussions of perfect venue for lunch with colleague over MSN

34. Sweet DREAMS……

Do I really need this?

Confessions of a Shopaholic…. My views on this movie?~ How true it speaks to the heart of us viewers though some of us are not as such a compulsive buyer as Rebecca Bloomwood was. I bet my pal, Mochi- mei couldn’t agree more! There is just something that draws us into the shops even though our purest intention was only to do some window-shopping. But then what truly attracts us in……?

I have to agree that we seldom practice “consumer caution” as we are not in our right state of mind when we run our fingers lightly over hangers filled with clothes on the racks.(we may be thinking this at that time- “Nah, I am just looking. No harm ever came out of looking”)! We do not have the “Red Alert” signals as our arms get piled up with more and more selected apparels for the anxious trip to the Fitting Room just to see if everything fits perfectly! I am not to lie here when I admit that half of the things that I try on, I actually ‘cross my finger’ that I do not fit in them just so I won’t make them my winning glory after! But this may also prove to be dangerous- having that mind-set. This is because many a times, I would buy all of 3, 4 or 5 of them straight after merely because I was able to fit in them! My consumer caution was not practiced then!!!

Why do some shops cater only for petite sizes whereas some has ‘slightly larger sizes”(haha….)? They are not only doing it to hurt your feelings! It’s just so you get extremely proud for being a size 0 that you think you look good in whichever designs that you put on. Either that or you get extremely thrilled that there are many sizes for you to choose from in the plus size shop. You just wish to buy all of them because at long last you think that you have finally found ~De shop~ for you! You look so good in those clothes and also besides the fact that they never run out of sizes for you to fit in (which ranges from XL to XXXL). You can always opt for a size, higher!

I think that the fashion industry does great mind tricks (as highlighted in the movie). Look at how all models/ accessories are featured in magazines/ billboards and shops. The mannequins seems to be beckoning to you to ~ “ Come and take a closer look at me, I have something that you want, I am sure you can budget your month’s savings by looking at the price that I cost. We can work things out!” Eekss…talking about temptation! I have friends who react the same way as Rebecca did in the movie- A must to have MATCHING bags and shoes to the outfit. Did I mention accessories too? :p But what truly happens when you manage to lug everything back home at the end of the day?

The one question which always pops up when you’re home after a shopaholic day~
~ DO I REALLY NEED ALL THESE? ~
We set our tired feet down and after taking a breather, we may realize then what was it that had made us shop till we drop! It may be the stress from the raise/ promotion that we were awaiting for, the stress of coping with a family, the amounted workload at school/ office or just plainly that we need to buy something in order to “love ourselves a lil’ bit more”. I totally agree with the last excuse! However, we would still have to keep things in control and not become a ShOpAhOlIc at the end of the day on the expense of our own lame excuses!

We can always love ourselves with a lil’ more sanity and…In tiny needs (that costs less!)

If all should fail, off to cell group we go or… have a good friend in hand near us! (this goes out spashly to Mochi-mei! :p)

So sickeningly Sick....

Been sick for the past couple weeks. It has been an on and off thing… Was recovering last week when Ju Vee passed his bug to me! Then it was back to gulping down pills after pills. Gee, really felt as if I had to swallow pills for the rest of my life! ( Touch wood!!!) Only last Fri did I feel better. I guess I have to give credit to my one and only doctor who can always cure me~ Dr. from Klinik Petaling at Taman Megah.

I didn’t believe that one can only be cured by a particular doctor at first. Like how Ju Vee said that he would only recover if he visits this particular Clinic Ng from SS2. It is however true! One dosage and that’s it! I can be a witness to it and that is speaking on behalf of me as well. I have visited several doctors before then and trust me, I swallowed all the pills prescribed to me! Bloody yucks, really. It was to a point that I had this nauseasness whenever I have them. Hopefully I would only have to suffer a few more days before I am fully well. ( Have to finish the new pack of antibiotics! :p)

What good came out of this couple weeks of sickness? First of all- thank god that I was not a confirmed case of H1N1 flu though it is easy to get it these days. Thanks to the people who has returned from overseas and not declared their illnesses to the health department! They should learn the word- RESPONSIBILITY. Secondly, I had some rest (though it was on the 2 day leave that I took!) at home. It was good just rolling around the floor and having a nap at anytime of the day. Thirdly, I had the chance to “see” who were my true frens as they didn’t run away when they discovered me with flu, fever and sorethroat! The most concerned were of course my pals who checked on me occasionally via msn or at work. So much lurveeee…. Hehe!

There are ones who just verbally or virtually question on my condition. Twas disappointing at a moment of time as more were expected from them. But then that’s human nature, I should think. One may never thought of doing the same for you as you may have done for the person. Well, as long as all of us learn from what we have experienced and have sharpen our judgment on certain human characteristics…

Panic Attack...

" Have you come in contact with anyone who has H1N1 Flu?!! "

That was what I got when I went to the doctor with a sore throat and flu... What does the doctor expect me to answer her anyways? How would I know whether I have come in contact with ppl who are affected! Haha... I doubt so .... I should be feeling more afraid than her. Especially when she took my temperature and said (a little too loudly)- " Oh my, you've got fever!! " Talking about panic attack!

My fever turned out to be normal as I asked her what is the highest temperature a really serious fever is... Mine was just slightly higher than normal! OKlar, I do think that it is normal for doctors to react this way as there are more and more cases found...

However, it is like a normal everyday thingy for me to be havin sore throat and flu... sigh sick of it too.... This time around, it was just because I had 2 lychees at the night market!

Sheesh....

Boredom...

The meaning of bored :-

• uninterested


• fed up


• tired of something


• bored rigid


• bored stiff


• bored to death


• bored to tears


• jaded

Just had a peek at the thesaurus and these were the words listed there. I got even more bored after I had a look at it... Sheesh.. Am feeling really bored.

• Uninterested in work at the moment.


• Fed up with having that thought bout work.


• Tired of complaining as it is not helping at all.


• Bored rigid with the line of work.


• Bored stiff (perhaps sitting down too much at times..Makes sense?)


• Bored to death at the moment comtemplating on what to write here. At the same time at work too. :p


• Bored to tears is something which I have yet to try..Gosh, if it happens, I guess my decision would have been made!


• Jaded? What does it mean... Too bored till my eyes are blocked/ covered/ blurred from what should be my priority?

Well.. guess then back to the old drawing board..... Sigh...

**Continously bored**

THE PRAYER- Andrea Bocelli & Celine Dion

I pray you’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go

And help us to be wise, in times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way

Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace

To a place where we’ll be safe.

La luce che tu daiI pray we’ll find your light

Nel cuore resterà

And hold it in our hearts

A ricordarci che

When stars go out each night

L’eterna stella sei

Nella mia preghiera

Let this be our prayer

Quanta fede c’è

When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza

Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino

Simbolo di pace e di fraternità

La forza che ci dia

We ask that life be kind

È il desiderio che

And watch us from above

Ognuno trovi amor

We hope each soul will find

Intorno e dentro a sè

Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer

Let this be our prayer

Just like every child

Just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe

E la fede che

Hai acceso in noi

Sento che ci salverà

The month of April...

What have I been doing in the month of April? Field trips, more field trips, and have been working on almost 3 saturdays of this month.... Gosh! Unbelievable that I managed to survive throughout all 3 of them! It is very tiring
though it only takes up mostly half of the day but it made me feel so exhausted..... not to mention that it is so hot these days. Think one can easily get heat stroke!

Although I've had to work on Saturdays, I did get some chance to enjoy some meet-ups wit my pals. Like the buffet at Umaiya- with free flow of beer! This is a shout-out to BEER-fans out
there!


Food was really yummy there too with quite a number of choices. Mmm... too bad that both Vicky and I were only able to survive the first round of order! I would definitely make sure that there are more people coming along with us the next time...

Though this has been a busy month.. nevertheless birthdays are something that I look forward to celebrating though they may not agree as this is the start of the Number 3 to them! heehee..

Well, at least Ju Vee enjoyed his- as the WAhaa game was played! Haha... That was pretty hillarious!


As for Kai Reen, I had a great celebration with her as well at Rokaro (where else?). I do hope that she had an enjoyable one with everyone!!!

Oh not to forget that I should be very proud of myself for initiating a cookery meet-up at Vicky's! As that led on to the next gathering at Iris' and soon, we'll be having another at Kai Reen's... I do hope that we can have many more of these gatherings as a mean of us keeping each other in the loop of our happenings. If not, it can always be a form of pigging out for us! haha....


In the month of April, it has also been one of the month in a long time where I went through 3 nites of Happy hour in the same week! Haha.. have not done that in a long while. It can be pretty tiring but I think I should be proud of myself as I was able to control my alcahol intake! :p First night of the HH was at Kai Reen's bday, 2nd nite was at Wabisabi and the 3rd was at Laundry. It was fun as I am normally not a "kon lou" kind where I did not head home to freshen up but instead brought my face wipe and all to do it at the office after work before heading out to HH! haha....



LAst but not least....was really great to have met up with Ct on her suprise return back here! Though we've only managed to meet-up for once, I am pretty sure that all of us truly appreciated the time that we've had with her! Well, I do hope that she is now truly rejuvenated!

A series of unfortunate events....

One incident after another.. which is why i decided to call it a series of unfortunate incidents. As mentioned in my earlier blog, I met an uncle who showcased his pride openly. Still totally disgusted over it now. However, following that I had another incident where this bugger deliberately stopped his car right in front of mine just to grace Kristy and I with his idiotic face and his love of foreign language ( u get wat i mean?). What a bugger! I think that he realised we were gals in the car, therefore he cut short his language lesson and jumped back into his car. Of course, I gave him a piece of my mind too. :) Kristy on the other hand was just smiling at him. She told me later that it came to her as a shock and she didn't know how to react. Haha...

Well, I can't understand people these days. Just because they think they are MEN that they are able to do whatever that they want. What happened to all the courtesy and being nice to one another. Sheesh.. I guess all of it went down the drain! I think parents should be blamed for all the ill manners in our society these days!

As for today, I was involved in yet another bad luck as my car was rammed into by a bike. What are the odds of a car being slammed by a bike?!! Well, I had a dent in my car and the tyre was punctured whereas the biker only sustained minor pains after he fell headlog onto the ground after the collision. The cost of the accident? It's on me as the biker explained that he has no cash and as going through insurance claims may prove to be a hassle. Sigh...I do hope that these two weeks of bad luck will be enough to last me throughout the rest of the year. If not, perhaps I would have to pluck some pomelo leaves to wash off all the bad chi.. :)

Fruitful events..

Seminar/ Training/ Course..... it rhymes the same to me. Generally why do people attend such events is pretty obvious. It's either they are committed self-learners who generally wants to upgrade themselves with the latest information or gadgets available OR... they were gently encouraged by their respected superiors to gain more knowledge in order to provide better services to the company in future. How do you categorize the participants into the 2 different groups then? Well, I guess that it is never clear between both unless there is apparent resilient shown frm one. :)

For me, I was doubting my attendance at this morning's seminar as I thought that it was not in my line of work. However, I thought to myself that it may prove to be a good opportunity to know a lil' more of what Jolly Phonics is about (after some gentle encouragements.. hehe! :p). Well, it was alright as the songs and actions took my mind of boredomland. I guess it all depends again on the materials used as well as the instructor. Anyways, I guess I gained some extra insight on the subject. Perhaps can even try it out on lil' Tristan and Jarell. Hmm... if I can still remember it as the old teachings in my ex co has been instilled in me for the past 4 years.

The most memorable event of the day, I'm yet to tell you! I happened to have the experience of my life during my lunch. Who would guess a quiet and homely cafe like Liana's had such a suprise in store for me! In short, I had the previllege of witnessing nudity in public! Hehe.. Well, not nudity as a whole but partially. This idiotic man - a 40 +yr old malay man with glasses (who was reading the newspapers by the way) sat himself at the table in front of us and displayed his "JoY and PrIdE" to innocent patrons like ME! It was pure disgust as I had just finished my meal ( and mind you - I had Fried sausages!) Gosh , I felt like vomiting even after I left the place. I guess deep in his heart, he was PROUD to have people like me spotting it!!! YUCK!!! The funniest thing was that Juvee said I should have told the waitress that there is an uncooked sausage left in the open! Yeeww....


What a day it has been.... I do hope that I do not get a sore eye tomorrow. If not, I will definitely give him a double curse!!!

Eyes wide open....

Here I am wide and awake at 1am. Perhaps I slept a lil’ too early yesterday. Therefore, I have resolved to start a blog. Let’s see what I have done in the month of March…

Work, Sunway Widlife Zoo, Driving range, Bamboo9, Wedding dinner, Petaling street, Cupcake makings, Meet-ups, St. Patrick’s Day…

Hehe.. what a LOT of things to do /places visited during this month ay? Who am I kidding?!! Sigh… not much contribution to da SoUl these days. Am actually searching for some other new activities to do. I have thought of fishing as Edmund is going this weekend? But come to think of it, I’ll most probably puke all over the boat after 5 mins of departure! Haha… Then again I have a charity event to go to- Disney On Ice on the same day which by the way I am encouraged to help out at the beginning.. Sheesh! But oh wells, it’s all in the name of charity. SO, on to the next activity…

Joining a gym? SOooooo many people have asked me to join or try out using the visitor passes. However, I have this negativity towards gym as I think that only beautiful bods visit the place so to show off their already perfect shapes! Hehe.. And that would make people like me, SOooo demotivated! Sobs… It’s not easy going to a gym as the right clothes has to be worn there. I never really understood how people can be comfortable with those lycra pants and tops. Well unless of course, they are the body- beautiful people that I have just mentioned. In that case, I daresay they’ll look good in anything even old rags! Sounds a good enough reason to abort the gym mission? Okay, on top of that, it will be that I am not a motivated person who will head to the gym consistently. I barely even use the pool downstairs…!

Let’s see what else… Urm..Perhaps I should highlight a few things that I’ve been meaning to try but did not get my arse on it right away.

Volunteering at PAWS/ SPCA, at Orphanages….

Somehow I have not gotten around to do the above mentioned activities. Perhaps it’s the huge emotional feeling which may occur once I start on it ( Spca/ Paws/ Orphanages). I guess it’s a norm for us human beings. We may not start something in fear of the lack of confidence that we have and the uncertainty / doubt as to how we may react to certain matter if we were to really do it. A good or bad habit? Well, depends on individuals. Some may view it as acceptable as we must always protect ourselves but some may think of it as selfishness.

I guess that I would have to make a choice of activity which can fulfill myself thoroughly…. ( mentally)

???

Wat have I been doing so far? Work and practising my golf at the range. Life's pretty boring at the moment. I do think it's apparent in the missing blogs since January. :)

I do wonder...what would I find interesting now.... ?

Gatherings....

How do we keep in touch with our ex-colleaugues over the time? Phone calls, emails, smses and via the latest and hippest site- FACEBOOK! Hehe.... Well, that was how my ex-colleaugues and I use previously to keep us updated on each other's happenings but something happened a few months back.... We decided to get-together for a Christmas dinner at Nero Vivo and we all had a joyous time! It then had all of us anticipating for the next meet-up!

Well, our second gathering took place last Saturday. It was kind of dear Kai Ting to provide us with our venue as we had a BBQ at her Condo. Thanks Kai Ting! The proud organizers were EE and we trusted her with all our heart when it came to the preparation of our FOOD! Of course, a big thanks to dear Lina as well who provided us with yummy sambal pari(so nice of her mummy) and her BBQ pits. She was our Xmas dinner organizer and yet for this- she has offered her help in so many ways. From helping EE in the collection of money to the ingredients for the BBQ. The 3 of them have truly done a lot for our FAttY BBQ gathering! Big hugsies to them...

As for us, we anticipated for that BIG FAT day! Only able to salivanate over the variety of food mentioned in our FB thread. I guess that was fattening enough already! haha.. There were some of us who contributed into the pool of food. Reese with her Secret Recipe Cake, Kai Ting n Pasta, Kristy with Corn and Garlic Bread, Ayu and Chilli Sardine, Siti and Brownies, me with salad and acar... Ok, I think mine was the simplest! hehe... Well, that's because I am not much of a cook though I do love cooking! Contradicting right?! :) Anyway as for the rest of the dishes, they were all prepared by our thumbelicious chefs- EE n Zulfa! Lucky for us gals, we had the help of a couple chefs as well to BBQ our food. I tried to help Ju vee and Jaryd but the fire was just to KING! I think my expression was clearly shown in a picture taken by Kristy who was just busy laughing at me!!! hehe... Just take a look at the the food......

At the end of the night, we or rather I have developed this sudden bloatedness of the stomach (not that it was not swollen b4 that! hehe) but then we were really stuffed to the brim but our Lina has yet to stuff us with Tortilla Chips and Salsa Dips! Gosh... and baby Monica was there to ensure that we were properly FED! She's just so adorable! haha...think Reese's sis was too full to take in anymore therefore diverted Monica's attention to me... Poor me-stomach! If you know "Chu Pak Kai", you would know what I mean! Haha... Picture this- with bulging tummies, we had to then clean up the place and of course- bungkus the rest of the food because we simply couldn't stuff in anymore, not even a tiny morsel of food into our tiny mouth! All that we could do was to present the Bday gals with their pressies and to take pictures with our star attraction:- CD La Turtle! hehe....

Well, at least we managed to "squeeze" in some exercise. Why do I say "squeeze"?! I'll let you know in private if you wish to know further! Hehe... All and all, we had a great time just eating, chatting and of course snapping away at each other with our cameras. We had the pleasure of having some new companies- Joanne, Kenneth, Zulfar, Naim, Ju Vee. And of course, we definitely miss some of our members who were not present that night. We hope that Farah, Moira and Jessica will be able to join us the next round as the "baton" has already been passed to Siti and Ayu. Let's see what awaits us the next round... More Food???

P/s: It's time to diet till the next time we meet again... Adios Fats!
