I see..

Brief update: The police in Penang will be trained to speak in Hokkien, imagine an Indian or Malay policeman coming up to you when you just committed a traffic crime, "kua lu ge I.C.". I wonder when will policemen in KK speak to us in Hakka.

I take the bus to work every working day.
By making use of my time waiting for the bus, I make daily observations around me. It has been quite an interesting observation so far. I paid more attention to the cars that drove past me. Till now, I have not spotted my favourite car.

Every morning, there is always this Indian lady wearing the same over-sized flowery blouse plus the maxi skirt, waiting beside me. Then, there is this guy whom I am not sure of which ethnic, who always wears this turtle-neck long sleeve shirt despite the hot, scorching sun, eyeing me up and down when I walk towards the bus stop. Looking at how the young and old hail their cabs in frustation is also something not to be missed every morning.

A little spice was added this morning when this woman with humongous breasts running to get the cab. I swear those balloons were bouncing upwards, downwards and sideways vigorously. It was a good distraction indeed from looking out for the red roof top.

Yesterday, I was attracted by the road cleaner's dustpan. He actually decorated his dustpan by tying the super bright yellow plastic bags in a bow shape to the dustpan. Man, I salute him for his creativity.

Just this morning, the Chinese lady standing beside me was doing her manicure, but what annoyed me was, her bright red satin maxi dress,don't you think she was over-dressed for work. Well, anyway, who cares?! I don't even know her.

Yes, this is how I bitch to myself every morning.

I fell in love

with Canon Powershot E1.

OMG.

The baby colors. Ain't they sweet? I know I'm a little out-dated to discover it since the launch in August but hey, that is absolutely the reason why this very cute user-friendly fellow is the perfect match for this tech-blur bimbo. Tell me, how can anyone ever resist it?

I so can't wait to lay my hands on it. Gotta wait for the next next next paycheck.

By the way, Santa, I have been a very good girl this year.

the house-hunting Dilemma

Brief update: I give a 2 out of 10 to Ampang Medikal, the Malaysian version of Grey's Anatomy. I doubt they can come up with a Malaysian version of House though.

House-hunting is never easy. Perfect place, perfect price, perfect public transport system. Is there such a place in KL? I never realized house-hunting has almost driven me nuts lately until I was reminded by mama. I have been whining and stressing a lot for the house-hunting lately. My conversation with friends practically revolved round house-hunting topic. What is wrong with me? Why should I stress so much for a house?

After a long chat with mama, yes, I just realized I have been complaining and stressing on the house-hunting A LOT. I was not even concerned when my skin doctor just diagnosed me for being a Vitiligo-er. I hated myself at that moment for being such a baby who is always throwing tantrums lately. Sigh. I guess many at times, it just takes someone who is so not you to point out for you to discover how serious the damage is.

I just want to get this thing over with as soon as possible. Mama, you're right. Going forward, I shall get myself composed and start the hunt all over again. On the other hand, papa, I think you're right. I think the SA697Y should be shipped over to me. :)

Prezzies

Brief update: I was overjoyed when I caught a glimpse of that red roof coming towards me. You'll certainly have no idea how happy my daily-waiting-for-Rapidkl-gang was when the bus arrived. This is plain happiness for some of us every morning. Sad, no?

I know I should be working but I just can't help browsing through google for wedding gift ideas at this very hour. My cousin will be walking down the aisle next weekend and I have absolutely no idea what I should get for her and her Man. I hate choosing gifts, be it birthday gifts, farewell gifts, Christmas gifts and many other occassions one can think of. I usually have this bad habit of asking the birthday fellow, "just tell me what you want and I'll try my best to get it for you". Yes, there will be no more surprise but hey, I really prefer doing that and I would like people to do the same to me.

Come to think of it, for all these years, Bloggie, just between you and me, I have received many gifts which I am not really fond of. But, I did show my sincere smile and offered gratitude to the people who sincerely made the effort to make my big day an enormous one.

So, as you see, when it's my turn one day, I will gladly announce to my friends and family, what wedding gifts I want. I don't mind sharing them now, for instance, an A-Z Tupperware set, an antique table lamp, a set of that-blue-and-white crockery set, a set of personalized photo frames, Lalala.. and the list goes on. Isn't it more practical than getting me a set of those cute little wedding dolls?

Hmm..I guess age is really catching up.

What's happening to me?

Brief update: True joy is when 15 out of 17 have been ticked in your to-do list at 3pm.

I used to have the loveliest dreams when I was younger, which is why, no matter how you drag me, pinch me, sprinkle water on me [Trust me, my brother has tried those on me], you will end up hearing the same statement, "Yes, 5 more minutes".
One year ago, if you creep in slowly to my room without making the faintest sound, I will be awake immediately. Don't huh me. I have no idea when did I become a light sleeper.

I used to stuff myself with seafood happily, as much as I can.
Last month, I had rashes from eating too much prawns in Hong Kong.
Don't huh me. I have no idea how the allergy curse struck me.

I used to always have a drink at the Pearl Tea cafes with my friends during late nights.
One year ago, I couldn't sleep the whole night just because I drank a cup of Teh Tarik.
Don't huh me. I have no idea what's happening to me.

I just feel like crap these days, well actually I am quite fine, its just..
something is definitely wrong somewhere.
Sigh. Is age finally catching up with me?!

What's your sleeping habit?

Brief update: A dead fly was found in the midst of my tasty Char Siew rice, but i still ate it all, except the dead fly of course. The owner was so shocked to see the dead fly on my plate, that she immediately returned my money. Free meal today. *Grins*

Like everyone else, I squeezed myself into the bus with the many non-Malaysians to meet my friends during the Raya holidays. The conversation lasted for 6 hours over a tall and slender glass of mocktail between my friends and I, which is why the waiters kept on exchanging glances, wondering why are we still not thirsty from the 6 hours of non-stop chattering and laughing. Not mentioning we are just plain kedekut.

Anyway, one of the topics we covered that day was about our peculiar sleeping habits. You see, half of my friends do snore when they are sleeping. Some sleep-talk. I swear I have actually struck a conversation with my friend when she sleep-talked. I thought she was awake until I realized she was talking gibberish. I have this friend who loves to turn upside down when he sleeps. Trust me, he is so not going to get a bed after he is married. Nevertheless,my friends agree nothing is much more irritating than my sleeping habit. The teeth grinding habit.

Is it really that noisy and annoying? My mum used to slap me when I started to get noisy at night. She even threatened to make me wear the mouthguard to sleep.

Hmm..shall I videotape myself tonight to observe my extreme bruxism?
