My torn cardi

As you all probably know by now, I'm such a bore with office workwear. If it's not black, it's white. Plus the occasional brown. Or grey.

Yes, I exude visual boredom.

Hence, what more for cardigans rite?

I only have 2 white cardigans and I currently do not dare to wear them out because they have holes here and there.

But I still wear them to work to keep myself warm plus no one really cares or at least I thought, until Jojo mentioned it.

To further prove my point, here are a few photos of what a sad case I really am:


**Hole at the side


**Holes at the shoulder


**There used to be a few holes along the collar line but theparents' maid kindly sewed it up for me so not only do I have a torn cardi but a tattered one too.

This is my cardigan that I bought from Warehouse and it cost me RM200+ ok!

But I really love it 'cos the shape of the cardigan complements all of my blouses/dresses. And it's really comfortable too!

I've been using it for quite a while now hence the discolouration. But am too fond to part with it.

Also, I've bought myself a new white cardigan from Far East Plaza in Singapore and it has a cute little dog in replicated Burberry print material on it.

But I am still wearing the above Warehouse cardigan instead. I used to be real emo throwing away old soft toys and I feel the same for this cardi.

Old soft toys I can still understand because I secretly think that they have feelings too (koff koff I am still me ppl pls still be friends with me!) and I can't bear to tell them "Goodbye, I'm sorry you have to go.. you've been stuffing up my nose for years thank you very much!"

But a cardi?? What can I say to a piece of cloth?! Where do I even look at the cardi when I say it?! The buttons ah?

Oh well, I think I would say "Thank you for keeping me warm but rotting wasn't that good an idea because I had to spend more money to replace you and now I'm seriously broke!"


**50 sen! That's all I got!

And I sit right beside the rubbish bag (note black bag on the right).

Actually it's a recycling bag-lah. We're recycling paper in the office you reckon if I were to dump this cardi in the bag to recycle it'd proli turn up with the cleaning lady on Monday as her cloth to wipe our desks?

Then I'd have to explain to the cleaning lady in cantonese that 'li gor hai sam lei keh cheok chut pin keh" (this is a shirt wear outside one) wtf my chinese sucks!

Ok ok maybe not just to save ourselves the drama.

Hence, I am still wearing the torn cardi as I'm typing this. Yes, I'm compassionate like that thank you.

Hello Kitty Car

Oooooo so this car caught my eye as we were leaving this car park and I made FanOfWarrenBuffett stop by the side to help take photos of the car.

Apparently he had to stand against traffic to actually take these shots so everyone pls "how 'bout a round of applause?"


**So cute. It had the couple's names printed on the bonnet but I have erased them using my artistic techniques of paint wtf


**Super pretty. Pink & white I like!

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._


Here are photos of Amanda posing once again but FanOfWarrenBuffett haih... the expression haih.. same O same O:


**Normal photo


**"Hmm.. what should I eat? Porridge or porridge?"


**"Gasp! Another photo of me!"


**"Peace y'all!"

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._


Erm guess what? I went home last nite to charge my old phone once again and I specifically saw that it was fully charged this morning.

I just took it out of my bag and it has died! AGAIN! And this is so not normal because it usually lasts for approximately 3 days.

Good thing I transferred the photos last nite to my memory card so I am still able to retrieve the photos above.

I dunno when it will die completely I just hope that I'd be able to save ALL photos tonite when I recharge it.

Am looking forward to tonite as Pheng, Ju and I will be skipping to the gym!

Am looking forward to tomorrow too 'cos Pheng and I will be getting more stickers to bling up erm I'm not quite sure yet what I would like to bling up but yeah we're so going! Yay!

Hello!

Hi everybody! It's a Tuesday but still feels like a Monday to me and I'm trying very hard to be diligent but my Friday mood is still switched on so can somebody pls help me?

Anyways, Ling Ling came back for the long weekend and I had to hear it from Kelly the benggali ok!

And I couldn't meet her during the weekend 'cos I swapped places with her instead - me in Singapore, she in KL.

So I thought I wasn't going to see her for another 10 years but when I texted Pheng to go for a drink last nite, she told me that she can bring Ling Ling along!!

So I finally met up with Ling Ling last nite to have coffee together with Pheng & bf:


**Ling Ling, Pheng & me. Why does this look like a high school gathering photo!


**Pheng, Pheng's bf & Ling Ling. Pheng said she looks like Mickey Mouse erm anyone beg to differ?

Ling Ling's leaving today :( One less friend to disturb all over again *sniff*

There are more photos that I'd like to post here but the phone which I use to take photos has died. The battery died although I supercharged it last nite.

Why do these things happen to me! How am I going to retrieve the photos!!!

I hope it's just for the time being and I am able to revive it later tonite when I recharge it.

I have photos of a Hello Kitty car that I saw in a carpark in Singapore and it was super cute ok! I have photos of Amanda posing once again with FanOfWarrenBuffett and I have photos with Ling Ling that were taken last nite and thank you Pheng for sending me your share of last nite's photos!

I have so many photos in that phone you don't even know ok! Photos of everyone when I force them to pose for me just so that I have a photo of them for caller IDs.

I can make so much money with those photos if any one of my friends become famous *nyet nyet nyet*

Photos like how I helped Pheng stick on fake eyelashes after our gym session wtf or photos like Ju grinning with a pearl (from bubble tea) on her teeth.

I have to revive my phone. I just HAVE TO!!

We are back in action!

I met up with Josie last nite after 1 1/2 months!!



So once again we gabung-ed tenaga and started taking stupid photos:


**Me getting stabbed but still smiling like where got ppl on the verge of getting stabbed pretend to laugh it off one!

Oh oh, let me show you what we had for dinner:


**Josie had noodles wtf


**I had rice instead


**Josie quenching her thirst with a glass of tung lai cha

Ok that's it. Josie wanted us to pose at the bridge that linked BV1 & BV2 together but that bridge is all glass and EVERYONE can see us ok!

I chickened out and so we had to make do with the wall beside our table. Yes, you heard it. I do get paiseh sometimes.

And Josie, SORRY I had to make you wait so long yesterday. It just wasn't my day.

And this is damn random but a big THANK YOU to Sue Anne for helping me out today. I cannot tell you how touched I am seriously!

And to thefather who doesn't know my blog exists and proli would not understand what a blog really is, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

And to everyone else, HAPPY FRIDAY & DEEPAVALI!!!!

Mini Digital Camera

I've been wanting to get a new camera ever since I changed phones 'cos the camera on my phone sucks-lah ok! 1 mega pixel only take photos of what! Dust ah?!

I've been carrying around my old phone (which is 5 mega pixels) and my current phone together everywhere I go in my bag resulting in a heavy bag that hurts my shoulder/arm and now my whole body is distorted thank you.

Anyways, I fell in love with Sony's Skinny T DSC T77 pink camera when I saw the banners outside Times Square when I was stuck in traffic:



Since I can't afford one of these RIGHT NOW, I consoled myself when I visited the Juicy store on Sunday by purchasing this mini digital camera:


Which didn't solve my problem of having to carry 2 phones around because this mini digital camera is only 300K pixels and can only take 25 photos wtf.

And I need to buy myself a pair of rechargeable AA sized batteries in order to use them. BUT but... it did solve my problem of wanting a pink camera *face lights up*

It's super small and compact and sweet how can one resist from owning one:


**Front view


**Back view. Sorry photo a bit blur 'cos I have parkinson's like that. Choi choi! *touch wood*


**Even comes with a free hp accessory!! And I think I can so make it as a hand model lorr.

So once I get my rechargeable batteries, I would need to still carry around my old phone just in case this mini digital camera is unable to produce quality results when I need it the most.

Therefore, I would like to inform that I now have an extra thing to carry around in my bag and my body is still distorted thank you very much what kind of analysis is this I seriously don't know.

It's already Wednesday ppl! Can't wait for Friday since Monday's going to be a public holiday. Let's start the countdown NOW!

We are all posers like that

Our whole family thank you.

I came home earlier to a noisy home because Brother Smell Hua & SIL Sharon's kids were here.

As usual, I would greet all of them and start carrying Amanda and today surprise surprise, Zachary came up to me and asked "No photos today?".

So I took out my camera and this Zachary was going on and on about "How about we take like this?" or "Mei mei, do like this" or "how's this?".

Don't believe? Check out the photos yourself...

**This is Amanda pretending to sleep. Amanda's own idea when I asked her how she wanted her photo taken.

**Again, same pose but she wanted a photo of herself facing sideways dunno why



**Again, same pose without the bolster aiyah her poses damn sien let's move on to Zachary....

**Him pretending to scratch like a monkey


**And then went to call Therese (to take a shot 'cos Zachary quotes "always same ppl") who was watching some Wah Lai Toi show btw together with themother and kept asking themother to explain what was happening. This is them pretending to float on floats wtf.


Suddenly themother came over to suggest poses and look at what Amanda had to go thru' poor girl:











Why am I so not surprised that everytime I take a shot Zachary & Amanda would run towards me shouting "I wanna see! I wanna see!!"

They're super cute-lah. So sad to see them growing up so fast *sniff*

Conversation Bubble Blouse

Hewwo peeps!

This post is a tribute to Josie 'cos since she left I have no one to take random photos with around the office.

This is what I wore to work today:


**Jojo & me. Been ages since we took a photo together proli 'cos her canggih camera got stolen and I've stopped bugging her to snap photos 'cos I'm superficial like that

So anyways, the blouse that I wore to work today has a conversation bubble. Hence, I printed sentences to stick on it 'cos why waste extra black space rite.

I look like shit 'cos I have acne growing all over my face why like this going to reach 30 still got pimples one like have to go thru' how many stages of puberty only can get clear skin huh! Huh! Huh!

Eat KFC some more-lah! Padan muka! *slaps self*

Ok ok back to my post for today....

I know the words are almost invisible so I've taken the liberty to type them out for you. Enjoy :)

So erm "what were you thinking?":




"Never seen pretty girl b4 is it?":


**Red clip borrowed from Grace 'cos it was the only thing pretty in close vicinity between us


This is me "knocked up":


**My baby bump a bit uneven 'cos I had no pillow and the only thing I could use was my jacket. And I am also unsure as to why my expression of being knocked up is similar to "what were you thinking" proli should combine both to become "what were you thinking to get me knocked up" wtf.


".........":


*speechless* Seriously, where did that double chin come from? *runs to the corner* *sob* *sob*

I am super happy today 'cos it's a Friday but Monday I'll die 'cos it'd then be back to life... back to reality...

Am meeting Pheng, Shin & Kelly the benggali for dinner tonite yippee with pimple face but I hope they don't notice or even if they DO notice I hope they will still be my friends 'cos we're all superficial like that.

I swear I'm going to lay off fried stuff tonight 'cos my face cannot make it already and to Mrs. P: I think I'll be joining you soon....

Good weekend guys! *hugs*

Random Thoughts

Random stuff that crosses my mind once in a while that I am so thick-skinned to actually post them here.

Other than that it's because I have nothing to blog about for the whole of this week except that work has been a tad bit stressful as I have deadlines deadlines deadlines! DIE!

Random stuff:
Number 1 - Did you ever take note of the day when you started using liquid soap as opposed to soap bars?

I remember when I was 12 and my cousin was all that because she was my only friend during school days 'cos dunno why kids tend to play with less fatter kids and she started using liquid soap and I was amazed at how you rub your hands together and voila lather appears.

Also, I decided to beg themother to get me a bottle of liquid soap from TMC and when I finally got it, I let thefather try this wonderful creation Unilever has done for us household junkies.

thefather pressed a bit of soap onto his hand and straight away put it under the running water which of course washed it off his hand straight away. I even had to teach him to rub his palms together. So yeah, that was my random vague memory of liquid soap.

Number 2 - Why is it when you turn on the TV and if there isn't a programme showing it just has the ruffled grey waves and annoying sound of 'zharrrrrrrrr'?


Ok, there may be a technical explanation to this but how kind would it be of the TV station to air a simple blank screen instead? And change the colours every once in a while?

Wouldn't it be more therapeutic say if I were to finish a TV programme which is the last show for that evening and you have coloured screens appearing in front of me while I fall asleep?

Someone should really create wallpapers for TV stations. That'd be great branding.

And mind you, I used to be scared of the 'zharrrrrrrrr' noise when I was younger 'cos I'm a scaredy cat like that *hmmph*

Number 3 - I ate so much yesterday thinking that since I was going to the gym at nite I could eat more. But today I'm bloated like that.

Yesterday Sharon brought a wafflemaker and we had waffles in the office and me being a champion gobbled down 5 pieces of waffles with kaya & peanut butter!!! And was exclaiming happily that Grace is missing out on all the fun 'cos she was on leave.

And then shortly after it was lunch time and I bought myself a nice pack of fried rice. And finished it all wtf.

Then I had sausages & onion rings for dinner.

And when I finally hit the gym I only burnt 210 calories. I'm still my normal self. This is so unfair. And to dwell in that sorrow this morning I bought myself Roti John how fat am I just tell me honestly!

Number 4 - I'm still trying to understand what a widget is. Since Josie is in a new company and would have to deal with terms like these I asked her yesterday what a widget was but she herself is lost so I guess I might have to wait for a bit to learn from her.

P/s: Josie: Dave told me that you're going thru' a baptism of fire. I know I'm supposed to be compassionate but I found it rather hillarious. Sorry.

Number 5 - I dunno why but I'm secretly wondering whether any of the nail beads/stones fell off Pheng's nails yet.

I stuck on little purple crystal stickers from Pheng's leftover stickers onto her nails for her plus a few other nail beads that I bought from Singapore and am currently wondering whether any has fallen off.


She's paranoid herself as she keeps putting top coat on them and I do hope that they last because they're heaps pretty!


Jeek made a comment that if we have our phones on the table, we'll be admiring them. Once our phones have been kept, we start looking at our nails. I think we're secretly addicted to shiny stuff and Jeek, you will come to the dark side!!!

Here, I shall also show you photos of Pheng's phone:


**Front view


**Back view

Super pretty lorr. She still lacks stickers for the bottom of the phone and we're grouping to buy more stickers. If anyone is interested pls let me know.

*waves*

Palate Palette

Yesterday I was on half day leave so FanOfWarrenBuffett came to pick me up for lunch and we decided to explore this restaurant named palate palette.

The restaurant has chairs of different sizes, designs, colours and even the steps leading to upstairs are multi-coloured it's so cool really:


**And note the light bulbs that shaped a heart. How sweeeet is it if it were lit up in pink!

The walls have been hand painted and it somehow looks like those cool sneaker shops you'd find overseas.

Kitchen window/area whatever you want to call it-lah:




Bar area:


**Notice the colourful bar stools soooo preeeeeetieeeee

But one thing I have to tell you hor, the food super slow lorr. But damn yummy!

See, I didn't even take photos of the food 'cos I was THAT hungry when it arrived at our table. Ok-lah, make it up to you-lah nah here is their set lunch menu:


*nyet nyet nyet*

There were only 3-4 tables including us and still the food was super slow lorr. So if you have time, then you should check it out!

A definite must-try if you're allowed a 2-hour lunch.

Oh oh, and if you're a paranoid person like that, I'm sure you'd love this place 'cos their toilet door has not 1, not 2 but 5 freaking types of locks ok!!!!


Damn safe-lah the place if a shoot-out were to happen you can run into the toilet and *chiak chiak chiak chiak chiak* lock all locks wtf.

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.


So after lunch we ran (just pretend that we did-lah ok if Ah Ru can finish the marathon we can run too) to Putrajaya to submit our registration forms. And to book the date that we'd like to register but apparently cannot book the time wtf.

Have to go there and take a number on the day itself. The day that we chose had like 6 couples names put down already and the guy told us that they do approximately for 15-20 couples each day!!!

So if there are like 19 couples in front of us, we're doomed. Wake up at 4am ah??? Puasa meh!

Can everyone else just register on other dates ah? Why so many ppl registering huh huh!

Hence, to those that are going with us for support (I need support-lah ok damn stress these kind of situations):

Brother Smell Hua & SIL Sharon: Die-lah have to wait dunno how long dunno your kids how die-lah you all

Kelly: Die-lah have to wake up early and then go there to wait some more die-lah you

Grace: Die-lah I myself dunno how to get to Putrajaya die-lah you

Let's all hold hands & cry.

*hands you a tissue*

GONE!

Gone!!! The weekend is gone!! How? *sniff*

Anyways, when I was getting ready for the Hari Raya holidays that just passed, I was thinking of all the wonderful things that I could do but die die also I had to fall sick. Haih.

But others had their share of fun and SIL Sharon made it better by bringing home this wall tapestry pocket holder thingy from Daiso Singapore for me.

And now I can find all my hoop ear rings & bracelets straight away without detangling them from each other which was previously placed on top of my toilet bag:



Friday nite was the first time I went out since the migraine-nausea-vomit incident.

I went to Starbucks with Ju and was pondering on what to eat when Ju pulled out her packet of seaweed and the Starbucks guy reprimanded her because apparently no outside food allowed.

But who cares. Ju ate it anyways:


I actually took a photo with her to commemorate (why keep commemorating everything I don't know but maybe 'cos my life is not as interesting as it should be) my first nite out woohoo but I decided not to post it here 'cos I looked sick still.

But our session ended early 'cos we're none of those losers who buy a drink to last for 14 hours in Starbucks.

I came home to find Amanda massaging her feet and combing her hair while holding a mirror with the other hand:




Her hair got caught in between but still wanted to take photo:




Nicer picture since she didn't like the previous one:



Saturday I went to dye my hair and trim it and now I look like a small girl so I shall refrain from posting photos for a while.

I wanted to do my nails after but FULLY BOOKED OK!!! So I ran back in to the Qube 'cos there was a girl doing nails there too and also FULLY BOOKED wtf!

Got that many ppl concerned about their nails ah?!?!?!

So I woke Pheng up to go for lunch/tea.

And we went to Menara Hap Seng and hello! Bijou Bazaar was there. As we were leaving we stopped by this stall to look at stickers and suddenly we went crazy and bought RM40 worth of crystal stickers to bling up our phones plus Pheng's camera!!

I finished the whole phone in approximately 4 hours because they were stickers so that made the job a whole lot easier!!

Ta-dah!!!


**Front view


**Back view

I can't wait to get more stickers to bling up what I dunno but the process was heaps addictive. If anyone wants help in crystalising stuff, call me yah!!!

Or if you guys want to get those crystal stickers pls contact me too and we can all group together to get more discount. *nyetnyetnyet* You, you, and you whoever you are.. come join the fun!

Oh, oh, didn't talk about Sunday hor. Well, Sunday I spent the whole day admiring my phone. Ok, the end. Bye!

Thursday, October 9, 2008

I'm back!!!! And still alive!!!

I was sick that's all. I'm still here! Everyone! Hello!!! *loooo loooooo loooooo due to echo*

*Walks up to the person reading this and shouts hello in her/his ear*

Why hello! :)

So tiring I tell you. Being sick. I was sick for like *counting mentally 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...* SEVEN whole days! SEVEN! TUJUH! CHI! CHAT! Here have a break, have a kit-kat *hands self a kit kat bar* wtf

I dunno what is freaking wrong ok! I had the same trauma back in June and the doctor blamed it on the office opposite of ours 'cos they were repainting. Now what? My hair spray ah???!

All the doctors, nurses, even the radiographer that did the CT scan for me thought I was pregnant!! Kept asking me when was my last period and I kept explaining to them that I can't remember? All I know for sure is the next one was due on the 5th! And again... "You really can't remember ah?" Yes I cannot remember but I can count 28 days backwards for you are you happy now!!!

The CT Scan table thingy is super cold I tell you and I kept praying that I'll be alright because Malaysia doesn't have a Dr. Shepherd kind of neurosurgeon and I would be even more sad if a Dr. Shepherd doesn't exist in this world!

I got admitted on Saturday for a nite and I hate it there! Every 10 mins someone knocks on your door either to change bedsheet, clean toilet, check your drip, give you the menu for food, whatever you can think of-lah ok. I'm surprised they didn't come in to wash the curtains in front of me!

And this head nurse I tell you. Wants to ask a few questions when I'm crouched on the bed trying not to vomit and she goes like:

Head nurse: Any pain anywhere?

Me: No

Head nurse: Any trouble urinating?

Me: No

Head nurse: Any trouble sleeping?

*_*??????? Wtf? I was admitted for migraine rite what do you think? Oh yes yes I slept like a baby 'cos I had my small dirty pillow with me. Pls, tick the 'yes' box. Oh wait better still since I slept so well, lemme tick that box for you with my Hello Kitty pen.

So well, I told them I was well enough to go home on Sunday actually bluff only-lah 'cos I really didn't want to stay there with unwashed hair and a sweaty neck. And surprise surprise my period came so all the nurses started whispering to each other "not pregnant-lah, not pregnant" so tiba-tiba change story say it's due to stress and I'm facing cluster headaches. The only thing I could make out of that is when you build an Enterprise Architecture whereby you do a cluster analysis to see how close the legacy system plus some other systems are linked so yeah... *holds palm up* WHATEVER!!!

When I went home I straight away got cleaned up and AND *teng teng teng teng teng* I made FanOfWarrenBuffett help me cut off my hair extensions!!!! *background gasps* Uh-huh I sure did.

*Tear falling off cheek, wipes tear & says bravely* Yes, I cut it all off and that explains my sweaty neck above. I couldn't take it anymore I had to. *sniff*

So here are a few photos to commemorate that versatile, pretty, oh so pretty long hair of mine:



I curled my hair using this Panasonic curler got like 4-in-1 kind of curls so I bought it from HSL wtf. But then FanOfWarrenBuffett bought me this other curler that doesn't leave crimps on the hair from Singapore 'cos konon-lah ppl went there to watch F1 but got time to go shopping and all and ta-dah!



Super cool or what! But haihhh now my hair haiihhhh I don't even want to look in the mirror lorr ok! It's so depressing. It's out of shape and flat and why TF is my fringe so oily!!!!!! *looks left and right and pulls out own mirror from bag*

So I've made an appointment with Milcah from the Qube for tomoro evening because she wants to go party so she refuses to dye my hair for me but kaypoh wanna know what happened to my extensions that's why she gave me a slot for a haircut ONLY! Where got friends like this one huh! HUH!

Ok-lah I have heaps of things to blog about and the sky outside is looking all gloomy and dark but thank God Grace is dropping me home today so I feel for you Grace *covers mouth and giggles at the side*.

I shall then end this entry with a not-so-good-looking face because this photo was taken the night before I fell sick *brave face wtf*



xoxo Gone Girl!
