whoa nelly!

wat a big week its been. for those of u who've been pestering me to update (yes you, He who shall not be named) and for those who've i've made promises to and blatantly chosen not to honour it, here it is! hopefully the length makes up for the long waiting time. haha.


20.07.07 was sort of a bittersweet day for me. it was my last day of attachment, and to show my gratitude in the best way possible, i put my own blood, sweat and tears (not literally, i assure u) to bake several loving dozens of home-made cookies! Zesty Orange cookies to be exact! Here's some pics, for evidence. haha.




le baker de unglam





auntie ain's cookies!


This cookie is reali dead simple. The basic recipe can be found here. I like to put nuts in anything i baked, so for this one i added Pecans and Walnuts. Alternatively, u can put in raisins and pistachios, they go well together too. i dun sprinkle icing sugar coz u know, ppl are either watching their weight or diabetic or sthg. tho melted chocolate piped in a zig zag fashion on top of these cookies are particularly heavenly! but u must remember to use orange zest and not orange flavouring coz that's just too tacky!


i reali like the containers too. they look pretty cute and the button tt makes the top pop is in a heart shape! (Altogether now: Awwwwwww...)


hee2. anw, to cut the long story short, my colleagues treated me to lunch. i had a scrumptious fish briyani (those chi-chi kind with nice presentation and all) and i forgot wat else ah. during lunch, they presented me with a gift! the gift came in a red paper bag! with SK Jewelry logo on it! opened it up carefully coz i sort of knew where it was leading to and i saw..










and inside....













waaah. i was like.. terpranjat boboy kejap. haha. its reali nice ah. wanted to cry. but sooo not me rite. so i din cry la. haha..




close up shot


the chain and the heart shape pendant are of white gold. there's some tiny diamonds on the heart and the 4-leaf clover is made of rose gold. i like! especially because ppl gave it to me. so i reali reali like! =]


after lunch the club manager called me into his office to talk to me. it was another nice surprise when he produced a testimonial for me, complete with the company logo, envelop n wat not. and one tt i didn't ask for n didn't expect to get some more. haha. like, way cool.


the highlight of the day tt i still tink abt happened as i was leaving. one of my colleague actuali teared ah. she's a 25 yr old girl from china and we grew close during my time there. we talked abt lots of things, past, future etc. haha. i hugged my other colleagues but she din wan to hug me ah. she kept asking me to stay away stay away.. then her eyes became red and watery. haha. like i was a bit sad to see tt ah.. quite touching.. but it was so funny to see her being so emotional also. haha. as if i was going to die like tt..


so tt was tt. the end if an era i say. after much reflection i tink i had it good. i was very lucky to have worked with reali nice colleagues who tried to not make me feel bored with the nothing-to-do-ness. in a nice environment too. overall, i wud say its quite lepak. haha. its just so coincidental coz last year when i worked for jocelyn, she gave me a white gold chain with a blue gem from taka jewelry. if everytime i leave a company i get jewelry then syiok man! haha.



Saturday was spent with ppl i love, F&F took me to Mad Jack at Jalan Kayu. Had fish and chips. the fish is reali nice! Confirm value for money coz its only $6.90 and the portion is huge especially the fish! at first i was eating, then i started to feel full so the last few bites, i was just stuffing it in.









ppl see them together and tink. "Eh, mamat cina ni dengan minah tudung eh.. cool banget." (Padahal mamat tu jawa pekat pekat punye).



Sunday was spent creating materpieces for the above-mentioned minah's 21st bday present. it was so strenuous! mata sampai keno wa cakap lu. but the results are keeeyoooooooT!!




Dollies at the sydney opera house



At the Taj, Mt Fuji, Big Ben, Leaning Tower of Pisa. at the same time! haha. nampak sah bedek.



M&M Dollies in our favourite pose. notice mine has got boobies! woot!




Dollies: Gone Shopping


We also bought an uber cute Anna Sui bag which i soooo desperately want for myself. but i resisted the temptation to do tt and bought a nice cheap bag for myself instead. hee2.


HEPI BELATED 21st MINAH!



On Friday, 27.07.07 my dearest MOKEY celebrated his 23rd. Hurrah! HEPI BELATED 23rd BIRDDAY ODY!! i was busy with tuition tt day so we celebrated on Saturday instead. we went to lots of places, mainly tourist attractions! haha!


had lunch at pasar tua or Lau Pa Sat coz we never ate there before. he had yummy yummy bbq chicken murtabak (with extra chicken of coz) and i had my by-default-dish ayam penyet. the place was not crowded coz it was raining. and it was past the lunch hour. hee2.


next, we headed to Sentosa's Underwater World! was so fun! me being child-esque (not childish or child-like pls, so tak glam) was sooooo fascinated! my favourite were the jellyfish coz they were sooo sooo pretty and nice to photograph and the giant fish. like normal fish but huge! like the size of ODY! i kept tinking.. eh wat if the tink like caves in and all of us are in n amongst the fishes. haha. fun!



wad a big load of crab!







pretty jellyfish!






i told u he'd eat anything..


we also got tix into the dolphin lagoon to watch the last show. the pink dolphins are so smart! din take pictures coz i was too engrossed watching the show la...


after tt we headed to the beach next door just to chill and so tt i cud give him his presents. quite bummed tt i cant quite afford to buy the bloke a PSP.. so i got each n every item tt wud remind him of sthg he likes. and i tink at least my efforts of saving up and collecting these items for the past 2 months have been well worth it! the highlight was kenny and of coz, Optimus Prime!



same kan?




optimus shoots the ndp chinooks.


We ended the fabulous day with dinner at Newton Food Centre. 30 sticks of satay, bbq-ed sambal stingray with cincaluk, deep-fried prawns with oats POLISHED til clean! yummeh! and being the special day, of coz the entire hulabaloo was on moi's tab. yey! girl friend mithali! hahahhahahhaha..

i hate men. and there is an excuse for it. i hate men coz they dont have to undergo pms. i hate men coz their men frens are not super sensitive. i hate men coz they have it good. thir lives are so la-di-da. women are always trying to prove that whatever men can do they can do better. which leaves men to sit back and watch the show. they dont care if the women do better than them anyway, coz at the end of the day, the men at the top will only pull up the men. and never the women. unless the woman is like man.

being a girl /female/lady sucks ok. to deal with period cramps, PMS, mood swings and all. damn fucked up u know. and then to have girl frens who are so super sensitive that they are so petty about small things. SHIT la. girls are stuck between a stupid rock and a bloody hard place because they cannot surround themselves with guy frens because ppl will call them a flan/whore/slut (in ascending order) even though u are just frens with the guys and the only reason u want to be frens with guys is because they are not as sensitive and dont need as much reassurance and "No dear, u are not fat" as girl frens.

the next time my girl fren asks or tell me they are getting fat, then i'll gladly agree and say "YA! u SO FAT lor NOW. Like freaking BLUE WHALE ah. i tink if u jump into a swimming pool all the water will come out. u dun need to go jogging la. ppl can actually jog an equivalent of 2km just by jogging around u. eh? wats dat around ur waist? spare tyre for lorry ah? eh, no, sorry. that's just ur FATS. ur underarm wings ah. waaaah. just like wing span of the A380 ah. then ur butt just like the jet engine ah. if u fart and i light a fire ah, u surely fly up into the air sia. NEXT TIME u din eat so much HOR. so FAt aredi. in fact, u shudn eat at all la. ALL food are FATTENING wat. k. then next time u ask me if u fat again. i see if u slim down aredi anot. if not then i think cannot be saved already la. u go liposuction ah. u dun want to keep looking like a pregnant dugong dont u? and then if its ur body onli its ok ah. but i tink if u go liposuction then might as well do plastic surgery on ur face ah. because no point u got body like naomi campbell but ur face like rowan atkinson right. so, ya lor. in conclusion, u ARE fat ah."

y? y so much emphasis on such small matters. y is there such a great need for corroboration? i understand y ladies want to doll up from time to time. y we just want to stand in front of the mirror and smile at how we pretty we look sometimes. but this "Am I fat?" thing has become an international obsession and its annoying at the same time. JUST PLAIN ANNOYING. u think u fat then just go do something abt it ah. dont ask ask. AND PLS. DONT ASK ME IF U ARE FAT JUST SO THAT I CAN TELL U THAT U ARE NOT. i swear, i'll kill u.

ps: rmb i told u tt girls are sensitive? im sure some of my girl frens who read this post will tink tt im talking abt them. but rest assured that the person im talking abt doesnt know of the existence of this blog. so dont take offense. or else i swear, i'll kill u.

note to self: eh mabok, stop thinking such bitchy thoughts la.

hey... miss me?

haha. some of u with the wry smile telling urself tt u dont. here's some advice, be true to yourself. admit defeat. admit tt u miss me.

its been one heck of a fortnight i tell u.

Tuesday, 3 july 207 saw the passing of my grandfather. yeah. he lived with us so i knew tt it was only a matter of time. i was REALI REALI mentally prepared for it, but when i came home and walked into his room, i just stood there and stared at his body. i wanna say surreal but its not. honestly, it was more a sense of shock than sadness. i tink tt it would be reali selfish of me to feel sad because the only reason tt wud make me feel sad is i dun have any grandparents any more. like none. zero. zilch. nada.

tt feeling sorta sucks.

but on the other hand, it was his time and i can only pray tt he feels more peace. life on the other side. yeah.

so i took leave on wednesday and came back to work on thursday. when i came back on thursday they asked me to go home but i felt like it was quite pointless coz the burial was on wednesday and there wasnt much i cud do at home anyway. instead, i took another leave on friday coz we were having a kenduri. yeah. so, tt was sort of a short week. well, short work week at least.

hokay, last week was a hecka busy week coz my event was on friday. thankfully the event went on without a hitch. so, yeah. tts one big bomb lifted off my shoulders. this week is a countdown to my last day. so i probably wont be given any other responsibilities. which means 5 work-less days. ahahahahhahaha. yey?

i dunno how i wud feel if and when i re-read my blog in the future, which is y i decided to blog anyways in the first place. but i digress.

i wonder how im gonna feel on my last day here. i know tt i am not sad about leaving coz everyday when i wake up, i secretly wish tt it's my last day. haha. but i reali feel that i've been blessed to have such nice colleagues who dont take things too seriously and have been patient enough to guide me and talk to me honestly about stuff. they have also shared their wealth of experience with me, which kind of helps me to tink about what im gonna do later when i graduate.

im gonna miss the club tho. especially the bar area where they smoke coz it overlooks the sea and the sea breeze is reali reali nice and i tink i might be the onli intern who gets to sit down and enjoy sea breeze everyday during working hours. haha. (the other interns here work in the admin office, which is away from the clubhouse and the sea).

im sure i'll keep in touch with them. i still keep in touch with my ex-bosses anw.

in other worldly news, caught the newly throned 7 wonders of the world?

i tink there are 3 in south america, 3 in asia and only 1 in europe.

yeap. from the south american continent are the mayan ruins in mexico, incan ruins in peru and the humungous jesus christ statue thing in rio de janeiro, brazil. from asia, the great wall of china, the taj mahal in agra, india and some pyramid in some middle east country. its not the egyptian pyramids tho. some other thing. from europe is the coloseum in roma, italy.

compared with like 10 years ago where western "icons" like le tower de eiffel, the leaning tower of pisa, hanging gardens of babylon(is tt in europe? haha.) used to be heralded as the wow! and the oh my god! by people of the world. how times have changed. though im quite sad tt borobudur and angkor wat have been knocked off the list. but i tink its onli because these 2 places are crowded!

anw, i found out tt budget airlines like jetstarasia and tiger airways do fly straight from singapore to siam reap, so, my plans for cambodia are sooooo on. jay, come with me ah. then we go to kerala from there. haha.

i feel so happy for continents in the southern hemisphere. i reali tink we rock man. goooooo southern hemisphere!
