Big eyed Big head toys

Say Hi guys!

HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what I have been doing over the week

I have been soooooo busy over the past few days that I hardly got time to really sit down and enjoy my lonely and quiet birthday...but thanks to some of you who 'accompanied' me over the eve and my birthday.

Cute or not this card? It's from the mad sweet lokter....just in case if you forgot to use your specs while reading my blog, the lil black and white creatures are moo moo......the card is dated 7 Mar but it reached me only on 22 Mar (or rather that's the date I received lah). I suspect one of the main reason cud be that lokter, cos she wrote inside the card that she love this card so much to the extent of having second thoughts about mailing it.........bet she has to quickly sign off and get ah boy to help her post or else she will change her mind and keep it instead...... another reason is that all the cows went to the surprise birthday party first before dropping at my doorstep!

Just came back from KL 2 days ago after a 3-day training at Park Royal. On the 2nd day of our training, we were brought to a site visit at Berjaya Times Square Cosmo World and were given free rides, starting with the mildest of all mild train ride, after which came the roller coaster. I was a bit sceptical about the roller coaster mainly because I am terrified of it and have never get to gather enough courage to sit in one. I did a quick thinking and eventually thought that I should do something out of the ordinary on my birthday eve and boy, I regretted over the decision. Came out feeling so drowsy the whole evening and got myself a nasty bruise on my thigh from the shake! LOL....We were 'invited' to try on the DNA mixer which obviously no one is interested after the roller coaster....

I was sitting at where the white circle is.....That's not the picture that we took lah....Can't bring up our cameras or any other belongings for that matter. Pix courtesy of Berjaya Times Square website

Anyway, the whole adventure was fun and would mind to go back to the theme park but definitely not for the roller coaster anymore...


Oh, I will not be doing justice to the hotel staff at the concierge if I did not talk about a certain helpful staff by the name of Viji. The night before I fly back, I experienced the greatest horror in the life of a shopaholic - My bag is too small for my purchases. It was 12 midnite and there is no way I can go out and get myself another bag. You must be wondering why don't I just buy the next day? Thought of that but I don't have any free period for me to sneak out and buy. So, early the next morning, I went down to the concierge and asked Viji whether he can spare me a box and he quickly replied that he will send one up to my room...Lunch, I went to my room to do a final packing and check out and was I impressed with his service. There, in my room, lies the box and a masking tape and a cotton twine. There, he actually took the extra mile to deliver the tape and string knowing very well I would need them! Kudos to Viji!


The room is fantastic and nicely kept.....and every evening, there will be 2 bars of chocolates on my bed...

The choc box

The inside..Choc says Good Night boh....so I can only eat before I go to bed....how to brush teeth like dat??

My lonely birthday celebration:
Birthday Eve dinner at 11pm
from left, clockwise: Secret recipe's cordon bleu; SR's salad and fries; Starbucks cajun chicken dome.

And Starbucks green tea something something (complimentary from Starbucks since I have a free coupon...:-) Honestly, I am impressed with starbukcs' services and the staff are superb! Kudos to the starbucks kiosk at BB....




Birthday dinner at KLIA Burger King...ahhhhhhhhhhhh finally



Wow! Guess this is the first time I post with more pixs than sentences! Anyway, though a lonely birthday in a hotel all by myself singing "all by myself" and reminding me of Bridget Jones, I am touched with all the never ending calls and messages from friends and families. Love you all, people! Muah!

A True Story

Story telling time

Once, there was this lil girl who started work in an internationally well knowned non-governmental office and there she was surrounded by several huge (literally!) colleagues. Amongst all the many new faces she met, there was this very tall and pretty lady who treated her so well that in no time, they were the best office buddies and was labelled one tall and one short amongst the 'villagers' of the sorrounding areas

Years passed and soon there were forced to go their separate ways due to retrenchment and in no time they were united again in another company...but a short one, I must say....nevertheless, they kept in touch, both physically and spiritually. Never a time passed without one of them buying gifts for the other whenever they go holiday or during birthdays or christmas.

Day gone, night came............10 years has passed and that pretty and tall lady still remains the best of the best friend this lil girl can ever wished....

Today, early in the morning, this lil girl received a call claiming that there's a delivery for her. She briskily made her way to the reception and noticed a bouquet and a cake with her name on it. Suprised, she asked the delivery boy who the sender was....nothing was written and there was this speculation that it could be a secret admirer. Excitedly, she signed off the acknowledgment slip and start flipping the bouquet for an identification........

It's a birthday gifts from the tall and pretty lady to the lil girl.....

See what else came with the card

So readers, who says girl's best friend is only diamond and men's the dog??? My best friend has always been and will always be this tall and pretty lady whom God sent me 10 years ago

Thanks D! Btw, the cake is so yummy and soft, just like you!!!

All-in-One Post

Be prepared for a short but cramped post today cos I am really so bitchy busy that I don't even have time to breathe. Have been working through the weekends and there are still plenty of works awaiting my completion. Sigh...and to add more sugar to the coffee, I'm flying off this Sunday and will only be back 1 hr before my birthday ends... *hint* *hint*

Anyways, I have been pestered/harrassed/forced/persuaded by lokter to complete the tag that Pink Cotton has tagged me after she was pestered/harrassed/forced/persuaded by lokter...She really want to know how I look like when I was still a cute lil baby woh....in addition to what lokter and I was chatting yesterday, she asked whether I got colour photo or not then.....Harlow!! mana ada....U think I am as young as Pink Cotton and the gang ah?? Dahlah Lokter labeled me as a dinosaur...My era mana ada? Even if ada also people paint the black and white photo by using colour pencils wan.....

Ok, be prepared for the most shocking photo of the year















Cute mou? Hahahahaah....Notice my elvis presley punya hairstyle??? Ok, enough liaw....no more laughing *wipe tears from laughing too much*

I noticed the following message in one of the bank's internet website about their upgrading shutdown.....I couldn't help laughing at the most common error of the era.....the bank seemed 'pleased' in causing inconvenience to their customers..........Read on

NOTICE OF SYSTEM UPGRADE
We are pleased to announce that we will be upgrading our existing banking system on 17 March 2007. In view of this, we wish to inform all our customers that our Branches, Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs), Internet Banking, Cash Management and PhoneBanking services will not be made available from 12.00 noon on 17 March 2007 (Saturday) to 9.00 a.m on 18 March 2007 (Sunday).

In addition to this pleasing the customers, I remembered McD's notice about the unavailability of their curly fries.....the notice sounded like this "We are pleased to inform our customers that we are running out of curly fries due to delay in the port" Cruel right? Taking pleasure in causing inconvenience to customers!!

Finally, can any smart chics or dudes out there give me the most fastest, shortest, easy and cost saving mode of travelling from Bukit Bintang to the Curve Mutiara Damansara????

Oh and one more thing....in case I did not blog between now and 21st, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EDWIN (if he is reading this) and WE MISS YOU! PLEASE COME BACK

(hahaha...sound so like missing person notice)

Why I Blog?

This Lokter tidak habis habis want to tag me wan...It's either her or Ah Boy!! manyak pening ah like that..

Anyway, You all want to know why I blog ah??? 5 reasons some more ah? I actually started my blog for ONE and only ONE reason only....but along the way, I picked up several reasons lah....

My ONE and FIRST reason has a story wan and sure will drive you all to tears....For those cry babies, please leave this blog now, do not continue....for those who insisted on carrying on, please get ready a tissue or hanky or your friend/colleague's sleeves

A very very old dear friend introduced me to the wonderful world of blogging.

I officially launched my blog on 7 July 2005 after much pester from him. Prior to that, I know nuts about blogging...as a matter of fact, I actually despise bloggers cos I thought bloggers are people who likes to show off and also sex maniacs and desperados (hehehehe) ...thanks to him, I was brought out from this shallow thinking and now, after almost 2 years of blogging, I am really thankful to him for this.....Sad to say, I can never thank him in person, neither can I thank him through this blog (unless he is still reading my blog from somewhere else).

After my blog was up, in order to fulfil the tradition of blogging, he and I pestered another dear friend to start her blog which she did but only for a while.....Anyway, to cut a long story short, he did not fulfil his promises to keep in touch with us through the world of blog cos he left us without a word.....and despite our frantic search and fervent prayers for him to come back, sad to say we have lost him in a world of his own...

He will always remained a special person in our hearts and we hope he does the same for us too.....Every year, as my birthday approaches, I have this sad feeling deep inside me thinking about his wherebeings, his whereabouts. Why my birthday u asked? Cos dear readers, we share the same birthday....

It was a very demoralising moment for all of us then and I have thought of quitting blogging cos then he and another friend were the only readers. But then again, why should I act that way since it was never our fault that we lost contact with him....furthermore, I still have another dear friend as my loyal reader! I did not quit, obviously, thus this blog today.

Entering the 2nd to the 5th reason why I blog......
I love talking and since I can't talk so much, I might as well write.....and I love making friends and today, I have a circle (not a big one) of bloggers whose company I enjoys so very much and yes, I am talking about you all.............

Oh, also, I like the idea of secretly searching for some bloggers and ended up knowing that person in real life....

Chinese Character Needed

Hi people!! I need help form those who are conversant in Mandarin....I've been offered another cardmaking project and this time it's a birthday invitation cards and I am looking for a nice chinese character for the meaning Longevity..I understand it is pronounced as "shou".

Tried google search as last resort (Some wise girl's solution to any search....ie, locked door = search google; free fonts = search google)...anyway...I did that and i found thousands of different characters representing that word and I am now lost as to which one is the correct character

Glad if you could email me the nicest artistic character of that word as I need to have it stampmade.

I am really ashamed of myself...I am a chinese by birth but I know nuts about the chinese characters....I don't even know how to write my own name in chinese.

Happy chap goh may people (15 mins to an end).

Crap blog

I know, I know.....have not been updating my blog for the past weeks....Reason: One word L-A-Z-Y

Anyway, nothing much happened over the holidays except eating and eating and eating.....I think I have put on a bit of weight despite the claims from other people that I am suffering from bulimia....Oh talking about bulimia, we watched a VCD brought back by brother bear entitled Zoolander starring Ben Stiller and many other famous actors and actresses....heard the movie is banned in malaysia cos the movie features an assasination plan on the prime minister of malaysia.....the funny part is: the supposedly prime minister of malaysia was featured as a chinese apek who speaks only chinese!!!! Either the producer know nuts about malaysia or they are changing the script so as not to offend malaysia....nevertheless, malaysia is offended, thus the ban..

A very funny and dumb movie and with Ben stiller as the main actor, you can be assured of an endless laughter. Catch the trailer here

Btw, Owen Wilson pronounced malaysia as macronesia!! and Ben stiller thought a bulimic is a person who can read minds! LOL

Had my first ever blog meet last Saturday, and the person is none other than the lokter....We had lunch at Elephant and as usual, lokter is engrossed with her phototaking session...A nice person she is!
