Wake Up and Smell the Cake

I ate a lot today! And the day's not over yet! 6am: 1 banana, and a bowl of cereal. Normal morning stuff. 10am: a little leftover porridge. Hungry mah. And I needed to clean the pot. Haha. 12noon: one whole oversized portion of 2 piece chicken and fries from the local mama shop version of KFC. LOVE it. Actually I ordered 1 chicken piece and 3 spicy drumlets, for 2 pounds. but he gave me 2 pieces of chicken meal which costs 2.50. So I 'earned' 50p. Haha! At first I kinda hesitated buying it, walked into another shop before this thinking of getting fries only, then I changed my mind. And anyway if I change my mind AGAIN, there's 2 other similar shops I'd pass by. If so happen I missed it cos I was at the other end of the shopping area, then so be it. I'd go home and eat whatever I am going to cook. But. I was just fooling myself. Haha! Went in, got my sinful indulgence hehehe. 3pm: a little bowl of seafood tomyam. Hot from the pot! And I wonder why I am getting fa

Dispatch Date: 18 March 2010 Delivery Date: 19 March 2010 Best Before: Doesn't matter. It'll all be gone before you know it.

Washing the car makes you appreciate and care for it more. The pain I felt when little drops of water splashed on the car! Not rain, no. If it were raindrops, it'll be slightly different. I like to see the droplets slide off the windscreen, still in the shape of a round water bubble. But no, it's those really small splashes from the trees or from another car that's too light to move. Argh! The horror! The marks they'll leave behind! Now that we're moving to a smaller and more affordable studio, I won't have my full blown oven anymore :( No more cakes or lasagne! Sian. We have a microwave instead, and I'm on the lookout for recipes using the microwave! Or cooking using just the stove. Like kuih bakar or something. HAHA. Very confident hor! :D Never mind I shall try! I do hope the new studio will be wonderful! :) Ten more so-near-yet-so-far days! Can't wait can't wait! ♥

Today I washed and waxed the car. Haha! Never before man. Though my patience was running out when waxing already -_-" And I didn't do a full cleaning. Next time lah hor. Which won't be anytime soon since next weekend I'll be busy! :) Maybe washing the car can be another of my escapes, just like scrubbing. HAHA. The second first! Yesterday was my first time driving in JB. The fun part was going home. With me and SIL only. Hehe! We detoured, and dunoe went where, and! We ended up at my relative's house. HAHA. From there we were on track already, and stopped by City Square. Okay lah. Doesn't seem as daunting. You just have to avoid getting into any form of accident. I can't wait for you to bring me on our Malaysian road trip :)

I had a very entertaining AAM session today even though we were missing one student and one mentor. Haha. Today the boys were extra noisy, especially one of them. Since we ended earlier, they shared stories, like PSLE results. Haha. And they know who Other Half is. He taught them for a while a few years ago. And! One of the boys is a colleague's son. HAHA. Small world eh. I told them I will be going London for quite some time, I'll have just one more lesson with them before I fly off, then they asked, "Alah! Abeh Kakak tak boleh datang for the camp!!" Yeah, I can't :( I know the camp will be the ultimate bonding session with the students, even if I don't teach them, but I know they'll be wonderful nonetheless. When I come back they should be all psyched up for O Levels! I really hope this batch will do well. They deserve it. The kids are great. The reason I wake up a lil earlier each Saturday morning and teach. One of the few things I like to do volunt

I don't know why but I feel cheated when I listen to Aku Cinta Aku Rindu and Makin Aku Cinta. I love duets. These two songs, they were written when the singers were life partners, thus I feel that the songs are extra sweet compared to duets sung by non-couples. Very sweet lyrics, easy to relate to. BUT. Since learning of BOTH couples' divorces, I don't like the songs anymore. Call me weird, but yeah. It does have an effect. It's like, "ah what a lie!" And whatever they sang is not true anymore :( Never mind. I still have my two favourite duets, the most played songs in my iTunes. They were a couple in the movie and in real life, but dunoe if they're still together. But it's Hollywood, a little different. They change partners too often. Plus, they have their on-screen persona that didn't break up. Sugary sweet relationship. HAHA. Very Disney. I can live with that. Haha!

I saw this cute elderly couple on the way to the mosque (HAHA macam lah the mosque is so far away), and when I was going back to office, met them again at the lift. The wife and I were in the lift going to the basement, and at the first floor, she saw her husband outside, just bought lunch from the usual Friday vendors. She waved and smiled at him, he saw and quickly ran to the lift in his kain pelikat just before the lift door closes. Cute lah I tell you. The pakcik was smiling while running. Then they went back home riding their scooter, the wife's hands round the husband's waist. I love to see elderly couples going places and doing things together, happy and in love. I wanna grow old like that with Other Half too. Bliss I tell you :) The scooter ride triggered my memory. Our scooter ride. Langkawi, by the shore. Sunset :) We'll do that again k? ♥

I am thankful to have wonderful SIL & BIL. Thankful for so many things. And my entertainment for the past two days. Haha! And most of all, they look cute together :) Love you both!

Alrighty!! I'm gonna be matron of honour TWICE this year! Yeah! I is very very touched! And excited! Weee!!! So that's three times being bridesmaid!! :) Can't wait! :) Yup it's matron and not maid. Because maid of honour only applies to unmarried bridesmaids. But matron soooo OLD. Like Madam. Oh well. Matron of honour reporting for duty duties!

Yay! Great news! * It* has been despatched! :))) Can't wait! :) I love technology :) This morning's Urban featured the comeback of the bamboo handle classic Gucci. But I like the vintage one the best! Seems like they're not selling it :( I've never been a fan of Gucci but isn't this pretty!!! Sigh. If there were a replica of it, using leather of course, I don't mind getting it! Brandless, even better! Hahaha. I'm in my shopping mood now. Dangerous. And online shopping with cheap shipping to UK is VERY tempting muahahaha :p

Yes. It's only the first day. No chocolates or cookies. It was bearable in office, but when I got home and opened the fridge, it feels automatic to stretch out my hand and grab those cookies! I looked away, and chocolates caught my eye. Argh! The horror! I have resisted temptation and I shall continue to. I can't wait for Tuesday's dinner date with FFL! I am freaking hungry. My sister says I can eat cookies in 10 minutes' time when the clock strikes midnight. Haha! That is true eh. Technically the day IS over. Hmmmmm.... VERY tempting! :D

I am damn terrible. I ate breakfast at 7.30am and at almost 9 I am hungry. Trying to cut down on snacks too. So far my attempt to start cold turkey on chocolates and cookies has failed. I shall start today then. Loads of chocolates and cookies at home! VERY tempting. But. I have to keep my weight in check. Fats are showing at my face! Chubby chubby me :( I smell french fries. Grrrrr. Now I wanna eat french fries :( Small meals and fruits only from now on.

I am sleeeeepy. London time is 2am now. I should be sleeping but I'm not! Sian. I foresee a long jet lag he he he. I've just got for myself the best seat! It's those long reclining chairs that's always taken, plus ! I'm beside the notebook charger! And! Near my gate! Woohoo! I don't want to move!!! I don't care I'm sitting here until, hmm, gate closing! HAHAHAHA. Like real. Reminder to self: pee before boarding. Oh but then again, I'll have an aisle seat later! Whee~ I haven't blogged anything about London eh this time? And Andalucia too! Too much, you see. I didn't even keep a travel journal. But to sum it up, I feel like I just had the best four weeks of my life :) Very cliche, but isn't it so wonderful when it's true? Life with Other Half just keeps getting better. And it'll get better insyaAllah! Oh man my eyes are just waayyyy too dry. I need to sleep! Actually I need to pee. Haha! I could have used the time to uplo

First entry of 2010! Should I do the rather mandatory reflections of 2009? On the top of my head, I can't remember much of 2009 except that I got married. Either nothing much happened, or I really have goldfish memory. Hahaha. Or too much happened and I don't want to remember them. Oh yeah! We bought out house :) But that comes with the wedding of course. Still thinking what we should do with the flat. Haha! Slowly lah hor. Marriage :) To the sweetest and most caring and loving man that I can never ever comprehend why I deserve such a gem. Let me count... Almost five months already! Isn't that fast! We're still honeymooning, aren't we darling? Hehe. Just came back from a lovely trip to Andalucia! Great start to the new year eh. 2010 will be, hmm, how shall I put it, unpredictable? I just hope that it's all for the best, and like every beginning of the year, let's hope it'll be better than the previous. We'll see how it turns out. What I do k

Andalucia here we come!!!! Wheeeee~

Bored me was going through fotos on the fb. And I came across this particular one, brought back memories :) Macaaam lah lama sangat but it's less than two years. Haha! This is nostalgic :) I miss this. The closeness! And easy accessibility ;) How I'd look to see if you're there or not. The passing-passing :p I really miss this place, or rather, the setting.

It has been a crappy night and morning, but someone unexpectedly made my day! :D Very happy hahahahha Thank you kak for the chocolate cream pancake! :)

My brother was a medic in his NS days. But medic my foot lah... Singaporean army medics, what to do... NS boys mah. Take the case of my bleeding thumb. He was the first to come home after I cut myself, so I told him about it. And him being a medic, I'd expect that he'll be able to do the wound dressing. Such high hopes I have of him. Sigh. He cringed when I told him how I got it. He disappeared when I changed the wound dressing. Both times! And can say, "I cannot see or hear about wounds, I'll imagine them on myself. We all medics in NS don't deal with wounds what... Injections, we do." Injections! Drug addicts are EXPERTS at injections! Don't need to be a medic for that! I think I shall make him see my cut when I change dressing tonight! *evil laughter* Hahahahahaha :p

Basket. Plan interrupted. I stupidly cut my right thumb by slicing it over freshly cut tin. How am I supposed to mix the batter and mould the tarts. Bloody blood won't stop bleeding. It's been twenty minutes now. Luckily the blood didn't drip into the butter or mixing bowl. Please hurry and stop the bleeding :'(

Housework Sunday! Helped my mum cook three batches of bee hoon goreng for my sister's event, did all the cleaning up after cooking (I love to clean up!), going to fold clothes and make pineapple tarts after that. Yup pineapple tarts for my tart :) Was supposed to make it next weekend so it'll last longer, but seems like both days I'll be out, and I don't think I'll be able to complete them in the morning. Just have to really keep them for Other Half and make sure I , the cookie monster, don't eat them excessively myself! Haha! Am currently caught by the reading bug! Into fiction lately. Which is a little weird, cos I usually am interested in non-fiction. Just completed one book, after many weeks haha, and I started on an ebook yesterday! Ebooks aren't as good obviously. For saving on the cost of the book, you get mistakes everywhere, language and grammar have been discounted. But for this particular book, I'm more interested in the content, so I guess it
