Few days ago, I had a hitchhiker, Mr.Green who traveled with me all the way from home to work, without my permission. But I didn’t really make a fuss as the hitchhiker wasn’t sitting in my car. Mr.Green was rather attached to mother nature I’d say and decided to hang on to my wiper instead, basking in the morning sun and the same time keeping it cool from the breeze while my car was moving. Oh and I managed to snap a pic.

Now I am not particularly happy with this guy cuz we’ve had some history before. Nasty history. It wasn’t the same one though, it was black in color, but it came from the same family so yea the hate it still there. Fella trespassed into my room, scared me out of my skin and made noises like an aeroplane taking off! Wtf! I am NOT kidding you. I’m dead serious. I love the taking off part in plane rides so I know how it sounds okay? The sound it made was similar to that, only not as loud but sure was VERY loud for a bug. Hence it was very mind numbing for someone who isn’t too bugs friendly like me. The worst part of it all, it invaded my most treasured, most private place where I do not allow anyone else except my god-know-who-husband in. Ok shap, stop laughing cuz I’m not talking about body parts! Jeez. My bed!! I hate sharing my bed with people, let alone bugs that make noises like planes wtf!

It flew around like to EVERYWHERE in my room.

It must’ve thought while flying : - “To the light. To the fan, ouch ok no no, this one hurts. To the bed. To the girl, oh this one is fuuunnn, i can chase her alll dayyy, look at her, she’s sooo scared of meeee. To the desk. To the clothes.To the…”

I couldn’t take it anymore so I called BugsBuster to my rescue. And the BugsBuster is none other than, my beloved-and-oh-so-brave-in-handling-nasty-bugs mom. Okay, go on and laugh at me for being the complete opposite of her but when it comes to bugs like this, I wave the white flag. Pronto. Hands down, bugs win, I loose. Satu-kosong. The only way I could win is by bringing BugsBuster in. So in she came, aided with her most trusted weapon of all time, The Broom. Whip whack whish whoosh piak piak piak. No the bug was not dead, she chased it out of the window. Lucky bugger escaped that day. Since that day, I never left my window open at night no matter how hot it is because the reality is, I live in La La Land where bugs scream like planes. Ok sorry Ipohans, Ipoh rocks ass. Yours not mine.

Today is Friday. Tommorow is holiday. Woot woot!

Oh yes, I’m a fickle minded chick who’s never satisfied with my blog skin. I used to design my own skins, now I can’t even find time to look for a decent one. Yes, that’s an excuse I know. Shap! Anyway, as you can see, my blog is sporting a new skin. It’s all pinky and girly and stuf but hey, I’m a girl too. I’ve been meaning to update but been caught up with so many things that I just, well okay fine more excuses I know, I’ll shap thank you. Nevertheless, a lot of things happened since my last post.

Mom went for a hysterectomy. The whole ordeal she went through while taking care of my cancer stricken aunt who later passed away scared her into doing it. Plus it was recommended by the docs, so yea. She’s okay now, recuperating well. I, on the other hand, had to suffer a bit with the house chores as she needed bed rest but it’s all good. Anything for mommy =)

I went for a week long training in KL. Managed to meet up with Alex, Suzan, Jerie and his girl. Also met Nisha later on for a movie. We watched The Mummy - and it did live up to the sucky comments I received from those who watched it before me. Oh well, at least I got to spend some time with that woman Nisha, who seems to be busier than a Prime Minister. Haha woman, don’t kill me if you read this, but you really are and you know it. Pain in the ass from Spain remember? Hehe. Anyway, I stayed at Royale Bintang at The Curve Damansara. The hotel is nothing spectacular, pretty ordinary. But I loved the fact that it opens up right into The Street where you’d be spoiled for choice of food to eat. I managed to eat at

- La Gourmet -Italian food, pretty okay for me.
- Sakae Sushi - where I got 2 RM10 coupons, yay
- The Apartment - a really cosy place that’s designed to look like, well, an apartment. Food was pretty good.
- Thai Express - very very very….ordinary. Haha nothing special really.
- TGIF’s - I loooooveeed their JD Grilled Salmon *drools*

JD Grilled Salmon

Overall, it was an okay trip. Five days break from the usual office environment.

We went on a family trip to Penang & Kedah for a break. Just to ronda, jalan jalan cari makan kinda trip and I successfully stuffed myself with as much food as I could. Some of the delicacies we had…

Kai Fan at Jln Dua, Sungai Petani, Kedah. The shop has been around since my dad’s schooling time!

Rojak!

I also went to the hair salon to get my hair permed. My sis decided taking pics of me with those digital perm thingies on (that makes me look like I dropped out of Planet Mars) would be fun so here goes…

Perm.

Wash.

Treatment.

That’s all for now. Happy Merdeka peeps.

Definition : Getting fired because of something that you wrote in your weblog.

” Blogger Heather B. Armstrong coined the phrase in 2002, after she was fired from her Web design job for writing about work and colleagues on her blog, Dooce.com” (Source: Yahoo.com)

” Last October, Delta Air Lines flight attendant Ellen Simonetti was fired, she said, for what her supervisor called a misuse of uniform. Simonetti had posted on her personal blog, Queen of Sky (now called Diary of a Fired Flight Attendant), pictures of herself, in her uniform, on an empty plane. Her blog also contained thinly veiled work stories. ”

Interesting… I better watch what I write here LOL!

Two out of three pictures that I sent yesterday to the Star Thumbnails section got featured today! Unfortunately, I missed the RM50 prize yet again. =P

 Featured Pic 1

 Featured Pic 2

It’s Monday. Back to work. Sigh~

Influenced by Novin’s comment on the last post, haha, I submitted the picture to Star Newspaper Thumbnails sections. Didn’t get published though. Nevertheless, what did get published though was another picture that I submitted, one from the Naza Ria incident. Too bad it didn’t strike the RM50 prize. Hehe I’m motivated to try again though.

Today is Friday. Tommorow is holiday. I like the sound of it so much that I almost never miss to say it to at least one person on Fridays. Haha. Work was sucky the entire week until before lunchtime today. Lol I’m an ass like that, work sucks if I can’t get it done, work rocks if I can get it done =P Anyway, work got done *woohoo* and I’m looking forward to the weekend. Need to get my camera checked, internal flash not working *heart breaks*. Haih, still new plus I hardly use flash. How sad. Tsk tsk tsk.

Stomach full of Penang Char Kuey Tiao is making me sleeepyyy. Gotta hold up for 2 hours more. Gambatehh!

Surprise inside my sister’s KFC Colonel burger. Perhaps they trying out fortune cookie concept? Lol. Only it doesn’t tell no fortune…

*random post from work =P *

It is astonishing how even the smallest action can make a HUGE life altering impact. Everything counts. There is no too small an action. One tiny action that may be insignificant to you but might mean the world to others. One moment you’d be thinking “Oh heck, nvm lah..” and the next second you could be saying “OH SHIT!” like you got a bazooka up your ass. You do something wrong thinking “Nobody’s looking..” but hey, you are looking at it yourself and that’s one person already. Don’t ask me if God is looking but I do believe what goes around comes around.

Like how this guy, a lorry driver, for whatever reason, decided to beat a red light. It’s a small action really but the impact? See for yourself.

This is what happened after he beat the red light.

Think you actions don’t really matter? Think again…

I’m sitting here, my legs white as snow (covered with Veet =p), typing out this quick post. There’s been another death in the family. My uncle ( the same uncle who lost his wife 3 weeks ago, poor guy) lost his younger sister few hours ago. She passed away due to internal hemorrhage in her head. She fell and injured her head twice in the same place. What are the odds of that happening ey? Coincidence? Hmm. I’m not as close to her as I was to my aunt who passed away 3 weeks ago but I know she was nice a person. God bless her soul.

If there’s heaven, may she be happy there. If reincarnation is real, may she be born to a good life. What happens after death is one of the many questions that I still don’t have an solid answer to. Perhaps I never will till I get there myself. Till then, I have God, the one without a face or color, the one without a race or religion, the answer to all my questions that this world can’t answer.

And now, I really should go and shower as my legs are starting to burn. Good riddance oh bulu kaki!

Just got home after watching the movie Wanted. Kinda decent but I was expecting more action. Loved the part where Angelina Jolie ‘picked up’ the dude into the car, that was awesome. But lately I somewhat feel stunts that don’t seem to be really doable in real life just don’t turn me on as much anymore. Jolie has somewhat gotten thinner than she already is I think. Clothes sorta hang on to her, heck I think I can safely say I got more flesh that she does! Can’t remember the last time I watched a really good movie though. Oh well, guess I have to wait for a real good one. Meanwhile, some random thoughts about me, race (no not lumba lari or lumba haram race) and racists…

1) I hate racists.

2) I will still hate racists even if they happen to be my bestest friend in the world.

3) I might be naive, but I’m not a racist.

4) We are not born with a race, we’re born into it. So obviously, we won’t be taking it 6 feet underground with us. What’s the big fat fuss about it?

5) Race is probably the dumbest thing you can use to reflect one’s personality and attitude.

Okay, I wrote that at 1 something in the morning and fell asleep. It’s 6.45 a.m now and I’m up already. Usual Saturday routine - Take mom to market, take sis tuition. Oh crap I just remembered I gotta take sis to dentits dentist too (I really did misspell it that way LOL). Oh and I’m gonna go to Eastern Decorators. They’re having sales again (wheeeeeeeeee!). Hopefully I can get me another comforter set made of faux satin like the one I got from the previous sale. Let me find a pic.

I absofckinlutely love it!

I’m out.
