Another Calendar issue

I wonder why I've been getting calendars after calendars this year....Perhaps people are trying to tell me to be more organised in planning my dates thus the calendars but hoh, the calendars that I received doesn't seem to fit me...Read on

After featuring my 1st calendar, everybody started to drool and wah and and ooh about the sexy girls. I attracted the guys when I featured this calendar and now I can aussure you, all the little little skipping girls and boys will sure beg me for this...

This is a Disney Cartoons Calendar, interesting looking but I still prefer the earlier 2 years edition..

It's a wall mounted calendar and on every page, you will get a picture of your "favourite" disney channels character ....

Ok, like the earlier HBO calendar, this is also comes with a full page of stickers for you to stick reminders but unlike the HBO's wording of boys nite out blah blah blah, this contents school holidays, test, don't forget blah blah.....So schoolkiddy rite??

Now, you know why I said earlier I don't seem to get the correct calendars?? The earlier one is too macho for me and this??

Ok, there are 12 disney character featured on each page of the month...Lilo & Stitich; American Dragon Jake Long; That's so raven; The emperor's new school; High school musical; Hannah Montana; Kim Possible; The Suite life of Zack & Cody; Cory in the House; Jump In; The Cheetah Girls and The Replacements

This is so embarassing but the only character/movie I recognised from the list of 12 is Lilo & Stitch....What happened to the old good days of Mickey mouse, donald duck, goofy and the rest???

I've finally accept the fact that I belonged to the older generations...Ok, boys and girls, if you would excuse me, aunty needs to sleep now....

So, how many you recognise??

Guylian Chocolates

I'm sure you have heard of the ever famous Guylian Chocolates? It's one of the famous Belgian chocolates in the world and guess what's their specialty? Sea Shells chocs....


Anyway, I've never seen how fine the workmanship is until I received a box of their chocolates from a friend (can't remember where he bought it though cos it has been in the fridge since God knows when but it's definitely not pass its expiry)

Since I've got nothing better to do last nite and also was a bit hungry, I decided to raid the fridge and opened up the wrapper.

Apart from the taste which is heaven, you would also admire how real the shells look like.....I took one clam shaped choc and I nearly peel open the lid like what I did with a real clam...It was so finely done that I even noticed some mud look-a-like on the clam....

Boring and Meaningless blog

Gotta post something or else you might think I've died of exhaustion from doing cards etc....but seriously, I can't think of anything exciting to blog cos nothing exciting happened of late (obviously!) but like I've said, I need to make my presence before people starts to circulate rumour that I've died of exhaustion or boredom.

Let's start with what happened in our hometown here.

Today's paper reported that a 23 yeard old unimas student died after been struck by lightning. Sad case isn't it? So young and such a tragic death. I'm sure the parents must be so devastated. Who could imagine this kind of death???

Then, the 5-month-old baby that was blown from her house during a strong wind is yet to regain consciousness.

and many many more sad happenings....Get a copy of the newspaper and read.

Enough said....check out this desktop calendar that was given to me.

Compliments from HBO. Yupe....HBO as in Home Box Office as in Channel ?? of Astro (Channel 40 izzit??) no Play play ah. Don't bother to ask who I stole it from gave me cos that person can't give you anymore.

If you have been a devout follower of HBO channel, you would know that this calendar is themed Entourage, which is a new soap series for this year. I don't know what this series is about but I think it's something like Friends and you get to see beautiful and sexy human beings...and obviously lots of censors too..

Let's move on.....

Yeah, layout is just like any normal desktop calendar...but you do get pictures of various stars of this series with their names and so-called tips. They are featuring Vince in January page with a tip that says " Never work too hard to get a girl's attention" and then a practical tip that says " Always bring a pen with you to take her number down"

Ok, the back of the page has even more interesting feature.....are u ready?? Men and boys, please do not drool...

......................

......................

.....................

That's the other side of the page. What do you think??? I'm a bit concern about putting it on my table now....cos definitely the month page will be facing me and that means this picture will be facing the other side (and my other side is facing my room's door....Anyone who walks in to my room will see this picture....and my boss walks to my room!!!)

Anyway, there's a sticker with words like birthday, public holiday, day off, blah blah blah page at the back of the calendar. U can peel and stick them on any dates....what astonished me is this particular sticker...

BOYS NIGHT OUT!!!!

I tried searching for Girls night out sticker but couldn't find it......Something fishy eh??? After much much thoughts, I've finally got the answer...This desktop calendar is meant for Men only....(So sexist!)

Anyway, boys out there, don't bother to ask me for it cos I'm not giving away....Sekian, terima kasih!

oh, a final parting note.....I noticed a very nice number of my car's mileage counter....Very seldom one can capture this number eh??

How many of you manage to capture the tens of thousand??

Food Review

We went and check out a new eatery after it was featured in the local weekend paper. I wouldn't want to rate the place cos it's a far cry to what a decent fine dining place should be..

The only thing I'm slightly impressed about SAHARA is the slightly big portion of its bbq spare ribs, that's all...I was slightly agitated with the way they served the food.....we ordered soup, salad and of course main course; all these came in this manner - Salad, main course, soup (and the soup was served together with the main course only after I pointed out to the waitress that soup should be served first!)

You can forget about getting a freshly blended juice cos all the drinks are packed drinks. Though you get to see the beautifully lit wine bar with lots and lots of wine displays, but if you really look carefully, all the wine bottles are actually empty bottles! With all fairness, the only liquor that I spotted was a bottle of chivas and vodka.

Menu is printed on an A3 laminated card. When they brought over the menu, I was like Wow! there must be variety of dishes...Don't be misled cos the choices of food is no more than 10 including entree and main course...They enlarged the font so huge even a 90-year old lady with glaucoma can read the menu!!!

Ok, enough saying....let's look at the food.

Chicken Salad....It's either this or potato salad...no other choice...

BBQ spare ribs....Presentation sux but tasted ok

Hmm.....A total flunk for a cordon bleu. They are using pork instead of chicken...You don't get to see the cheese woozing out like what I had at Secret Recipe.....No other cordon bleu can beat the one at SR....I'm a diehard fan of cordon bleu and no one else has actually impress me with their creation except SR....Any recommendations for a competitor of SR??

I've decided not to take the pix of the soup cos it's ugly and btw, you only get to have potato soup nia.....

Bad Luck comes in 3s???

I've heard of good luck comes in threes but have you heard about bad luck too?? I seriously hope it's also three and no more!!! I have had enough shares of bad luck the past few days

Bad luck No 1
My 1 year 1 month old (warranty finished a month ago) Sony handy drive died on me....Of all days, it chose to kick the bucket on Saturday, a day after I stored all my chinese new year cards design!!!! Thank God for my quick designing skills, I managed to do up the cards (and only got to sleep at 2am on Sunday)
I'm so poor this month I can't even afford a new pendrive and Santa pitied me so much (also I've been such a good girl last year) he decided to give me an additional belated christmas present.

A pendrive pendrive (obviously!!)

Bad luck No 2
My 3 year old MMC card for my handphone suddenly corrupted last nite (Please don't report to Anti-Corruption ok?. I bribe u??) and I have no choice but to re-format the whole card and yes, u got it. All my precious photos, games, tones, musics shit shit shit that was stored in the mmc gone with the wind......and I have just achieved a very very top mark in Boulder Dash!!! Bladdy shit! I feel like crying last nite and this time, Santa didn't help me liaw....Santa must have been so scared of me that he quickly went back to North Pole.

{Updated} Boohooohooohoo.....I just found out that my re-formated MMC card can't be used anymore. I took a pix and when I try transfering it to my pc, the file went blank and a message appeared saying that my pix is not recognised!

Bad luck No 3 & 3 1/2
I combined 2 into No 3 cos it's no so bad but hey, it's still a misfortune to me.
No 3:
I couldn't find a suitable envelope for one of my nicest chinese new year card.....A asked me to change the size to fit into my existing envelope but i might not look good anymore......I'll give a big soapy kiss to the one who can find me a pink coloured 5.85" x 5.85" envelope!!! (It will be bad luck No 4 if you refuse to find me one just to avoid my big soapy kiss)
No 3 1/2:
My favourite Pilot ink pen went missing

Well, if that's not enough bad luck, I don't know what is!! So, if you would excuse me, I would like to go to my favourite mouse hole and sulk the day away.

btw, is broke like a church mouse also a bad luck????

A Glimpse of the newly departed 2006

Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year

I decided to stay quiet for the first 3 days of the year and only started blogging about 2006 now. I thanked God for another good year, good in the sense that we are all still in tip top condition, our loved ones are still by our side and we can still enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset.

2006 had been a relatively peaceful year for me...and I did myself proud over several achievements and accomplishments;

1) After umpteen reminders and advises from a dear friend, I finally decided to brace myself for a really terrifying experience. Can't disclose much on this but it was a fruitful one.

2) I've ventured further into my cardmaking business and have secured the most orders for christmas cards this year with a very attractive returns

3) Wrote more regularly in my blog and through the blog, I have made several new acquintances (Yes, that includes you, you and you)

4) Bought my ever first laptop

5) Witnessed the birthday celebration of my maternal grandmother and was given the opportunity to mourn her death few months after her birthday

6) More established in my present job undertaking a new project in retail

and lastly, the greatest achievement of all, I am still alive and I still have good friends and family members around me to be with me.....

Good bye 2006 and I hope 2007 will be just as memorable if not more

Happy New Year

Auld Lang Syne Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne

Everyone sings this song on New Year's eve, before the midnight stroke, holding hands, hugging each others and taking the advantage of hugging strangers in the countdown party blah blah blah......think about it, how many actually know the meaning of this song? To start of, what's the meaning of Auld Lang Syne....

Ok, ok, ok, since it's New Year's eve's eve, I shall not torture you all in starting a google search for the meaning. The word came from the old scottish dialect meaning 'Old Long Ago' and is about love and friendship in times past. The song Auld Lang Syne is traditionally sung by most of us on the stroke of midnight each New Years Eve. However in Scotland, where Auld Lang Syne originates it is also sung on Burns Night, January 25th, to celebrate the life of the author and famous poet Robert Burns. Also, do you know that this song is part of the Christmas Carols???

Happy New Year to one and all.....

See you next year

Have yourself a merry little christmas

HO HO HO HO....Christmas is 3 days away and I'm getting ready to celebrate Jesus' birthday...

Went to the Joint Christmas Service last night at the Ecunemical Worship Centre..This is an annual event where Christians of all denomination (under the Association of Churches Sarawak)comes together and celebrate Christmas. Hosting church is by rotation and this year, the Roman Catholic Church is the host. (One fact though, this association consisted of only denominations that are internationally affiliated)

Choirs are combined between the various denominations and I must say they sang beautifully. Benedict & Steven, as usual has never failed to deliver their very best....So beautiful, makes you so christmasy

Some snapshots taken for those who were not there

Alrighty, Papercrazy shall be taking a long deserved and awaited break from Christmas until the New Year! Blessed Christmas to one and all and a peaceful New Year 2007! May the new year brings us peace, joy and harmony

Peace!

Everything so christmasy

Final week before Christmas and what have I been doing??? I haven't shop for pressies, I haven't put up the christmas tree, I haven't this, I haven't that blah blah blah

And I have done this:
1) I have brought cheers to about 200 poor children and their parents last Saturday by organising a christmas party for them. The Youth Wing of SSVP has sweat blood to raise funds for the past weeks and the party would not be a success without the help of all the generous benefactors (we raised nearly RM4,000) and the Parish Youth (for organising the christmas presents thingy) and the ever generous parishioners for making the effor to sponsor at least 1 present. I am deeply touched with the overwhelming response from the parishioners. We put up 220 over requests for presents (items as per req by the adoptees) and our fear of having a no-show presents or lousy presents was not even in existence. Some even go to the extent of buying a 4ft tall food hamper and judging from the contents, I guessed it cost more than RM100. Just in case you are one of the parishioner who sponsored or the youth that helped in the arrangements, our sincere and deepest appreciation. God bless you all..

One of the many many heaps of pressies

Some of the participants

2) Helped out in a funeral. An uncle passed on after 2 weeks in coma and we helped in the prayers and service and burial. My heart really goes out to the wife. She has just lost her daughter 4 years ago and now the husband was taken back to heaven. I've always have fond memories of him after 7 years of knowing the family. He was a jovial man and I can talk with him very openly despite the age gap. Anyway, we know he is in good hands now.

3)After the merry making and sad event, off we went to a dinner reception in celebration of our member's 40th wedding anniversary (Oh, believe it or not, but all these events happened on the same day!!). Dinner was at Kuching Mandarin. I didn't know the restaurant is adjacent to an old cinema. Anyway, since there were so many receptions on saturday, we were put up at the far end of the restaurant (whic was previously the cinema as per A). Food was good cos the tawkay and tawkay nio were invited too but ventilation was bad. Maybe because there were too many people but by the time the prawns arrived, everyone was fanning themselves....nevetheless no complaint about the food and everyone went home happy though sweaty..

Anyway, 6 more days to Christmas............

Crowne Square

Time really flies.....It's already the 15th and Christmas is just another 7 days to go. Very very busy with life this few days: Preparing for christmas (which I have not even started except for confession), Preparing for our Christmas Party for the poor tomorrow, preparing the year-end reports and staff performance appraisals blah blah blah...the list goes on and on and on..And there's an overdue appointment to make (Gotta do it now or else somebody will nag me until New Year!!)

To add more busy-ness to my above list, a relative passed away and which means rosary every night for the next 7 days....I'm really trying to figure out how am I going to juggle myself tomorrow. 8am to 1pm - Christmas Party for the Poor; 2pm to 4pm - Funeral Service; 5pm - Wedding anniversary mass of a senior member; 6.30pm - Reception. How I wish I can put papercrazy on a photostate machine and duplicate another 2 more to help me!!!!

Anyway, all for a good cause and this is what Advent is all about....

Ok, Ok, I'm not going to bore you guys with more and more grandmother stories. That's not I was going to post anyway.

When was the last time you went to Crowne Square? It has been experiencing a total face lift for the past half year (I think) and I have been avoiding that place cos of the massive construction. Anyway, went there last Saturday after reading in the paper that Mr Ho's Fine Dining is opening a branch there. And Gosh! Was it or was it not a massive facelift....Very very impressive and mind you, I am not a person who is generous with compliments but I tell you, it is very very nice.....Reminds me of Little Collins Street in Melbourne.

Another view of the individual retail lots

Disclaimer: Before everyone start speculating where I work, I don't work at Crowne Square...:-)

I have finally completed all the 4 orders of my christmas cards and booklets and am now concentrating on my own christmas cards for friends.

Christmas is just around the corner. What is Christmas all about? It's not just about presents and dinners and turkeys and santas and christmas trees and also about making cards...A sermon delivered by a priest over last Sunday's service: Season of Advent (4 weeks before Christmas) is a time of preparation, preparation for Christ's coming and his 2nd coming and not about preparation for dinners and presents and what not. I'm ashamed to say that I am guilty of such act and I can imagine how hurt Jesus is knowing that we are preparing to celebrate his birthdays by buying presents for others and organising dinner for our family & friends.....Where is Jesus in this whole scenario??

The following email received from a friend really wakes me up a bit and I'm sure it does the same for the rest of you.


Letter From Jesus

Dear loved ones,

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.

It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.

I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation. The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face .... and I wanted to be with them and share their table.

In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" .. as if the party were in his honor!

At 12 Midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and ... do you know ... no one hugged me. Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me.

What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.

Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart.

I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.

I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invite, will be left outside.

Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.

See you soon.

I Love you!

Jesus

Christmas is just around the corner

(This post is a bit unorganised as I'm posting it up in a haste in between my lunch and meeting. as long as I got the message accross, that matters!)

Just came back from KL.....a day too early for the Year End Sales...:-( but despite that and my terminally ill condition, I still managed to shop!!

This trip has been a very disappointing trip merely because I went on a short notice, came back at a very short stay and was at the vrege of short circuit.....I was coughing so badly when I flew to KL, coughed so badly during the convention which earned me endless sympathetic and annoying remarks from participants but above all, I'm glad I went. Met a new friend all the way from Ghana and played tour guide to her. She bought 3 Guy Laroche bags as gifts for her friends! Gosh! I don't mind to have a friend like that! Why didn't she buy me anything hoh???

Anyway, this is a must-go shop whenever you are in KL or Berjaya Times Square to be more precise. The clothes are from Hong Kong, very nice and very reasonably priced. I bought 2 pairs of blouse and skirt for only RM130.00

I did not manage to go out and eat all my favourite food (especially Secret Recipe) cos I was worried of falling sick and embarrasse myself with more coughing....and first time in my entire travelling life I ordered porridge via room service!!!

Check out this fabulous hotdog from 1901. It was given to us free during the convention. The owner of this eatery was one of the many speakers for the convention. So yummy and the sausages are steamed instead of fried




Christmas is so around the corner now with the beautiful decorations in all the shopping complexes in KL. To put in more mood into the tis' the season to be jolly, try clicking this and start making your own snowflakes! (This site was introduced to me by a dear MIA friend)

Talking about Christmas, I am proud to announced that I have just finished and delivered my 2 orders of Christmas Cards..Hurray!!! 1 more order to complete!

A Wedding, A Funeral & A Birthday

So appropriately worded, don't you think so??

A Wedding on Wednesday
Went to a wedding service on Wednesday morning....Whenever I look at a newly wedded couple, so happily smiling to guests, holding hands, taking pictures, lifting of veils, kiss the bride blah blah blah, I always thought "Gosh! They don't know what they are getting themselves into!!" No, I'm not against marriage, just that they looked so innocent in the sense that marriage for them (at that moment, that is) is nothing but heavens, where they get to be served breakfast in bed everyday, husband so loving and wife so gentle.....sigh....in the sermon that morning, the priest said not to bring your anger to bed every night, ensure reconcilition before the sunset.....sound so scientology!! LOL

From the wedding service, I rushed to my Director's house to pay our last respect to his late wife....and I spent the remaining days blur blur with a little bit of my cough and headache coming back

A Funeral on Thursday
Yupe, it's back! The flu, I mean.....hahahah

Office was closed as a mark of respect and off we went to the funeral service in the morning and thereafter to the cemetery....My first time at Nirvana Memorial...So nice, so serene, so expensive

Then, off to Bau for a late lunch. By then, my whole body was sticky and pespiration seemed to be flowing down like a faulty pipe....I must have stinked too!!

Went home at around 3pm and off to the shower I went.

A Birthday dinner on Thursday
Birthday dinner for Ad.....Initial plan was Elephant (cos it's cheap and we can eat to our hearts' content despite the strong protest from a certain royalty who insisted of going to Suan Chicken Rice)

Lo and behold, Elephant was closed for private function!!! So, off we went to Room 205....hehehehe

Food not bad though I find my chicken chop a little way to small a portion...Waitress very polite and i swear (despite the strong protest from the group) she looked so much like the murdered mongolian model!!! That's not the only eerie part cos we all swear we heard they serves Fried fisherman!!! A friend ordered fisherman's pride and instead of his pride, he was fried and served!! Spooky!

His royal highness ordered a very very very very long chicken frankfurter and it was nicely bent to create a horseshoe shape...I was a little too late in taking a photo cos His royal highness just cut it into half the moment it reached his plate.... Sure look like shit and I bet you can do such a good one if you take mellilea healthfood!!!

Ok, the night finishes at about 10pm and off to bed I went the moment I reached home.

I'm sick again and I'm flying next tuesday!!!

Already eat nothing to do tag

I was listening to a CD when I suddenly thought about Lokter's blog about finding the answers to the riddles through music that was played....Ok, this are mine and shit, it's hilarious!

I am sick

I am sick today....but despite that, I still need to wake up so very early in the moening, bathe and came down to work. My head is so heavy (despite the fact that I have a big head) and my whole body aches ...I know, I know, I sounded like a 80-year old person but I'm really feeling very miserable. It all started with a mild cough for the past 3 days and yesterday morning, I experienced a bit of throat discomfort. Went for a wedding reception(to elaborate in the next para) last night and the sore throat got worst after the 3rd course which is my favourite buttered prawns....Both my ears are so painful whenever I swallow or talk......

Never in my life I went to bed at 10.30pm and without aircond. I hope I'm going to feel better tomorrow cos I need to finish my cards order.

Attended N & C's wedding reception last nite at Holiday Inn. I find the processional very unique. There was this chinese orchestral band playing the processional music (Chinese song obviously, Teresa Teng's song "the moon represents my heart") and a man was singing. The guests were looking high and low for the singer and to our surprise, it was actually the groom dueting with the bride as they walked in! So romantic...

Ok, that's it for now....I can't think straight.

All in a day's leave

It was my chey chey's birthday yesterday and since I have not been spending time with her (and I have at least 30 days of leave due), I left my office and works unattended to go on a spree with her.

I have not been eating that much since puberty.

8.30am
red egg (only for birthdays) and coffee at mum's

9.30am
Off we went to chey chey's favourite coffeeshop at Carpenter Street (Sorry, guys, I only realised that I did not take any photos until later in the afternoon) where we had "cheng" (soup with all sorts of pig's organs, mince pork, seaweed, fishcake, salted vegetables, fishballs and lots more) to go with a bowl of kolo mee kosong (just kolo mee without the char siew)

The shop was graded D (the worst of the worst) by the Council but yet, it is always fill to the brim with people. There's no way you can finish your food and chat cos the next minute, there will be people standing next to your table, watching you like a hawk as if telling you to take your ass off the shaky stool.

10.00am
To a shopping complex to do a bit of shopping.....I managed to buy myself a black dress...(I need something formal now that I have to go out and market my mall). While there, I went to a music shop to propose our mall to them

While there, we shop a bit at the supermarket for our BBQ tonite.....followed by a drink.

12.30pm
After fetching my nephew from school, went to a coffeeshop and had kolo mee sua (the fine foochow noodle)...By then, I was so fill-up I couldn't even talk.....Thank goodness for the coke with salt, it actually ease me a bit!

1.00pm
Went back to mum's while waiting for my nephew to change.

2.00pm
Off to Digi to have my call plan changed. Cool sales guy

3.00pm
Send my car to Toyota for it's long-overdue servicing (actually, just over 4 months lah...) Then off we went to a nearby park and had ABC and belachan beehoon (From this point, I managed to snap some pictures)

Also, there is hardly seats in that shop and while chey chey and I were about to finish, a heavily tired-looking pregnant lady was standing next to our table and she was obviously queuing for our table....Being a very civic-minded citizen and despite the unapproving look of my chey chey, I asked her to pull a chair and sit down with us....I noticed something that spoilt my appetite (tho I did not tell my chey chey)....She was like thanking me and of course, when I talk, I look people at the eye (and once a while, my eyes diverted somewhere else and guess what I saw? I noticed how bushy her armpit was and I actually stop eating and asked chey chey to go......LOL....

Went to a tuck shop nearby and saw all these thought-already-extinct food/toy

The egg-look-a-like candy

Balloons

We ended our day with chey chey dropping me at Toyota to get my car...

Oh, check out this card that I made for my chey chey

Sorry lah, can't reveal the faces but I assured you behind the darkened spots are 2 beautiful and cute little girls...All I can say the girl with the bigger head was me...hehehe
