greetings from Bangkok

before boarding the plane, sandy's friend Stephanie said something that freaked me out. out of no where, she assured us that BKK is safe and if riots or terrorists were to hit, they would hit THE WESTIN SUKHUMVIT area. i was dazed for a moment there and sandy quickly "wooi" the friend off into saying something nice. later she apologised for making that remark as she didnt know that is the hotel that we are staying in. then Stepahnie again asked us to be extra careful as The Westin area is where most of the tourists are. my heart nearly come to a stop and the first thing that i thought of was R2R....(but later sandy, kwailo and daphney craked some silly jokes and i was back to my optimistic sole again)

we reached the airport, it was extremely quiet, the highways too was very quiet, not many cars on the road and there are police officers stationed at every km to facilitate traffic. reached the hotel, asked the Concierge about Paragon and its surrounding shopping outlets, they called up the station and the report was CLEAR! ALL CLEAR! IT IS OVER! he assured us.

took the train to Siam Paragon...shop shop shop for bras and just bras..hahaha...

the city is not as busy as before/usual, it is clear that tourism has definitely been affected badly by these inconsiderate protesters.

ok..till then ladies!

thursday night, i am seeing my friend Gene from Eastin for dinner at SHOGUN, please feel free to drop by or join..let me know ok ..tatata

ladies, pamper yourself

"when was the last time you had a facial?" the lady asked me.

wow, i couldn't even recall. my answer was "too long". when i laid on the bed, it was really relaxing. so nice, it was way too long since i had a good facial. lying there i thought to myself, i have to start doing this. having massages just isn't enough.

after having my baby, i really neglected a lot of stuffs. i quit shopping alone, quit gym, quit meeting up with friends, quit having my own time. everyday after work, the first thing in mind is my son. wow for the past 18 months, i have been so attached to re (which i really enjoyed).

i think it's time i go do some pampering myself!!! cross my fingers... (if i can)

a tiny vengeance

yesterday at around 4pm, i msn-ed vp asking whether she was sure of the so called 'maclaren fair' (that's what vp called it) in bangsar village. she assured me and said if there isnt, treat it as if she ffk me. well, okay after work i left to meet her. when i stepped in, there was no fair, nothing at the concourse. well, anyway, i took it as a little vengeance in return for the ffk's. hehehe.

we went down to reeve's birthday place - had some chicken and headed off to 1u. another place she recommended to get cheap maclaren. thanx to her, i finally found what i wanted at the right price. hehehe, but i have to wait till next month for the stock to come in.

we went to gelare for the perth taste of waffle. seeing re & both my maids, i felt a little bad. as they have been out since 1pm. they were soooo tired, but still we had to meet up with the yaps in cravings (if you have noticed, it's sort of the 3rd meal since 530pm).

defence...

i wanted to blog about this yesterday, but i thought i might as well wait till today for vp & od's blog. hahaha, so that i can defend myself. hehehe. okay okay well, i apologized for ffk-ing again.

anyway, i called vp early saturday, to arrange for lunch. then later got her sms saying dinner was better. so i left for brunch with uncle & re. then ....

14:01 hours - (od) so guys we meeting for dinner?
14:03 hours - (am) hmm, later confirm, cos dad might wanna meet us. call u later
16:43 hours - (vp) eat wat tonight? where?
17:34 hours - (am) sorry dinner cancel. maybe join u guys yum cha or supper
17:42 hours - (od) no prob, see how la
20:50 hours - (vp) u r irresponsible, say 1 2 ve dinner, no answer phone no reply, we wait until now only eatin

sigh.. who would have guessed that the message to vp had failed. i would expect her to get the same message as i 've sent it to od as well. anyway, like vp said, i've left the phone in mum's house and only got it back on sunday morning.

hehehe, feeling guilty, i called vp to clarify... and i would love to go klcc to yum cha, but due to some unexpected expected circumstances, i had to ffk again. 1) my beloved re was asleep 2) my beloved uncle hates klcc on sundays. sigh so then again, i have to innocently bear all the blames... hehehe.

and hey, i really wanted to go kl for taiwan porridge wo. but uncle say if it's just the 3 of us, better stay in pj. sigh.

2 is enough

i have accidently blogged wrongly, this is supose to be in r2r's blog and "Kena FFK again wo" is suppose to be here, pls excuse me...i am old and i am lazy to change..lol

9.50am - AM called to apologise for having left the fon in her mum's place again. then she asked to yum cha later on in the afternoon, i suggested KLCC, she said ok...

3pm- met up with odie, billy and danny at chinoz with both my brats. i checked my fon and realised that AM had yet again ffk us, i am not surprised at all...odie called her and AM said re is sleeping wo, so she asked to go to eat Teochew porridge insetad. i turned down the invitation coz its sunday night which means its "pasar malam night"!

7pm - i called AM to asked if she wanted to join us for pasar malam? she said "no la", then i asked if she is going down to kl for porridge, she said "i wnated to but now, no la" - luckily i didnt' wait for her, if not kena FFK for the 3rd time in 48 hours!

In Chinoz
Renee was cranky, Reeve was cranky, its past their nap time, both of them wanted to play near the fountain, but poor kakak eko looks tired and sweaty, so i brought them there and played for a while. after 10 mins, i brought them in and both r2r threw their tantrums by crying loudly and both wanted the kakak to carry. poor thing! how can a small kakak carry both the monsters? odie showed him funny faces, tried hard to make him laugh, but he just wouldn't, however he smiled when he saw lauren. i tried hard to juggle both these 2 cranky fellas until odie remarked - "dunno how you people can handle 2 kids man, one is enough for me!"

no doubt kids are cute and fun to be with, but i will still shake head when i am with them...i think dilah (my maid) has really done a fantastic job with them. she is so patient and smiley with them. kisses them and is always entertaining...don't know how i am to handle after she leaves, which is exactly 1 month from today!

once a month birthday bash

i have sat in silence for quite some time - if u have notice.

i am working on a great big assignment - rayern's scarpbook. and while doing that i came across the birthday book which i've made. it's just a compilation of all the birthdays of re's friends. and then it stopped at renee's. because hers was the last one.

hey, can you guys (those who are planning to have babies) please plan and give birth on the first half of the year. hmmm... if possible, every month one birthday would be fun. hehehe, after going thru my calender, not many babies were born in the first half.

help me fill up my birthday book, please...

well, i guessed we'll have to wait for lil' lauren's first!!!

btw, do we only celebrate our kiddos' birthdays? what happened to ours? hey, let's make it a point to gather for dinner for each of our bithdays. doesnt have to be a big one, just a little get-together. we'll go on dutch & gossip. just for the fun of it... what do you think?

2 Deaths At 1 Go

Sigh what a horrible week I had, Lauren's fever went down and we knew what the cause was so late tuesday night mum and I decided to follow my dear fren chooi to Penang and he would drop us off to sungai petani to visit my aunt. Barely a month my aunt found out that she got cancer and it had already spread every where, she has always been afraid of pain, spirits you name it she was always not the tough type. We were planning to go only end of the month but suddenly last sunday night my uncle called and said she went into a coma and is at home. Lauren was so ill so all of us couldn't go there and then and when lauren felt better I told my dad that we should go and see her before she anything happens. Thank god we made it to SP on wednesday and told her that all of us are here and dont have to worry about my uncle coz all of us are here and we would see to him. My aunt had tears in her eyes while we were talking to her and its very heart breaking to see someone go. I guess my aunt was just waiting for us to see her and she really managed to wait. I am glad she has seen me get married and has seen lauren as well. She will always be in my heart as she is one of my closest relative on my dad's side. Then on Thursday another aunt which is my dad's half sister also passed away with renal failure, she has been suffering for a long time so we were kind of prepared. 2 death in a week is really too much to take and i hope no more deaths this year.

Welcome to My House -Sepang

Welcome to My House - Sepang - this is the tag-line for this year's F1.

I still remember the first year when Shell invited us for the event, babee promised me he would bring me like 10months before the actual race and 1 week before that he told me that he gave the tickets away to his persuasive BIL. I just bursted out in tears and didn't talk to him for 1 week. Then the next year he did it good by bringing me to K1 where the cornering bit is, so we get to see all cars clearly and slowly. But this year, he brought me more surprises, despite of his BIL and other counterparts brainwashing him for tickets, he refused to give it away.

Courtesy of Petronas, we got 3 Grandstand tickets this year and the view from the seat was awesome! i had notime to sit my bud down, all i could do was, "oooohhhhhh....wooooo..." like a jane! i waived the Petronas-BMW Sauber flag high and low in the air. The crowd was mostly Malay, although they are not as wild as the Shell-Ferrari team but better than i had expected.

When the engines ignited in front of my eyes+ears, the sound was overwhelming, the roar was wild and it kept getting better! The heat was immence but it doesnt stop our lovely Dato' Michell Yeoh from visiting the team and whispering in the ears of the Todt! The PM looks so subtle and handsome in his properly ironed Petronas-Sauber shirt, he greeted everyone espcially MY and JT.

We did not wait til the race finished as the thunderstorm was approaching and babee was all sticky cum deafed by the "viooooo...viooooooooooo..vioooooooooo.."

Overall, it was just a fantastic experience, unforgetful and enchanting to see how advance and well-known our country has become over the past decades. Go!! Go!!

unlucky me...

i don't know whether have you gals dined at kl hilton (yes, the one at sentral) before. i hope you were luckier than me. first, i order iced mocha by the poolside (on the 8th floor at boardwalk poolside restaurant), it took a good 15 minutes at least to arrive. and when it was served, it was served with coffee and sugar without milk! correct me if i'm wrong.... i thought mocha has milk in it and no sugar? i'm confused! and the menu is so limited... mostly salads, burgers and sandwiches. yucks! if we were to order, it's like paying for the polluted kl air and view of the museum!

so, we decided to have japanese food instead at their japanese restaurant, iketeru. service wasn't close to being good even though it was stated on the website that , "You naturally expect only the highest levels of cuisine and service to complement the refreshing and relaxed setting." the setting was nice as expected. duh! but, the unadon (grilled eel with rice) i ordered was horrible that i can still taste that distasteful taste in my mouth. i think it will take a while before i forget about that taste. i only managed half a bowl and that was because the dinner was paid by a friend. once again, this was like paying for the atmosphere and air-conditioning which was filled with the teppanyaki smoke.

i just hope that the guests at the wedding that was going on in the grand ballroom on the 6th floor were luckier than me! but, talking about the wedding, i still see people wearing t-shirt and trousers to the wedding. sigh....

i also forgot to mention that i had stomach upset after the dinner!

in favour of?

i received a phone call from my friend in HK, this is how it went:-

carmen: wai, janie ah, carmen ah, ngo tei wooi 12th april lok hui Langkawi wo..lei tak ng tak han?
(we will come down to langkawi in 12/4, will u be free)

janie: eh...ying koi ng tak wo, ngo parents hui China, so ngo yiu jiu ku r2r wo..(dont think can, parents will be in china, so i have to take care of both r2r)

carmen: oh, kum yeong ah, kum lei jiu ku sai koh ko la, tai koh ko courier koh lei langkawi mah tak loh..(then u take care of the small one, the big one courier over to langkawi can la) ..hahahha

janie: hahahaa...jo meh lei tei kum keh? (why are u all like that)

carmen: hai kum kah la, ho chut min kah, tim ah? ho ng ho yee pei Renee cho fei kei koh lei ah? yau wak jia lei tai Renee lei, kau sai koh ko pei yan chau...(its like that, very obvious, so can let Renee take a flight over ah? or you bring her over and let someone take care of the small one.. )

janie: chi sin!!! sap ngong!!! ho lan koh fan ah!!! (crazy, crasy, too much la!!)

if i may say, u all may think carmen is a non-mum right, to be so bias over only 1 of my child, to be honest, she is a mother of 2 herself and she has only met renee twice in her lifetime. and yet she is so bias!!!!

poor reeve o'reeve, mami will love and sayang u double!!! bleh..bleh..bleh..u all

do u have a screct???

i wanna share something with you all....

normally when it comes to magazines, i'll look out for the "book of the month". somehow someday this book caught my eyes. i have looked for this book high and low, but it seemed they dont sell it in malaysia. i guessed once again, malaysia has banned this book. i had to call betty to go search for me in singapore. hopefully they have it there.

ohh... i did go to amazon, they have it, but the price is like mont everest. forget it.

anyway it's about this guy having people sent him secrets. He gave out thousands of postcards with his address on them. People will write their whatever secret and sent to him - anonymously. Apparently, this is his so-called project.

i find it really interesting and can u guys help me find too???

if u dunno what i'm saying, go visit this page. you'll have a clearer picture and would be looking forward to seeing this book too.... by the way, the title of the book - Post Secret : Extraodinary Confessions From Ordinary Lives

IS is a clever girl!!!

why the title? it is because, everytime i send someone a messsage thru msn, this "see who is blocking you" thing will pop up and it irritates the shit out of me and others that i send message to. it is some sort of virus which i contracted from dunno who. i asked IS how to delete this pop-up icon, she replied modestly:-

i "think" you should close the msn entirely, go to control panel, go to add/remove and delete it.

at first i replied wow..so complicated one ah?

but i still did it, after 2 minutes it was completed, deleted i mean.

IS is so "hym-hui", she knows how to do it but still uses the word "i think"...

drowning in sweetness

this audrey teh and billy tang is drowning us in sweetness..."har ngo tei lo kung mou tai blog ah?" (bully our hubbies never read blogs ah)

can someone please ask uncle/curry/kwailo to drop in to say a few sweet words that can drown them back pleasssssssssse!!! ahahahahaha..

ok back to business - where are we goin to stay in BKK ah? Frazer Place, Somerset Suwan or hotel rooms that is about RM170 a night near Westin BKK?

I am open for suggestions, feel free ok.

Boy , Arent We A Popular Topic

Wow so many comments on both Billy and I , yeah we bought the same valentines card this year. For your info guys, my dearest Ah lut has been romantic ever since i knew him . He always gives me birthday ,valentines card , xmas cards every year and now mothers day card on behalf of lauren. We don't express our feelings that much but we know we love each other deep down. Whatever it is he is still my husband and I chose him for who he is but maybe at times I just can't stand his " moh.. ness " hahaha
Two thumbs up for billy I have to say and agree with VP.

mr & mrs tang

hahaha, i couldnt stop laughing after reading the comments & blog by mr & mrs tang. should we say they are sweet? very well, i do think so. they might be fighting on the outside, but deep in them they are sweet.... romantic??? there is a chinese saying "sprinkle flower gun - sa fa cheong"

mrs tang said...
And as for my dearest billy he is a nut ... sometimes i have to figure out what he has to say coz he loves to short cut sentences .. so pls excuse him ... hahah he is "AH LUT"

mr tang said...
my dear precious, is not that i am trying to show off to this bunch of 8 poh, but something so romantic doesn't happen very often, and might not even happen to most of the ppl... raed carefully 8 poh...on this year's valentine day... me Billy Tang and my Precious wife actually bought a SAME valentine card for each other, from a different place and different time... i think this is really amazing and wonderful lor...

wow, that's really sweet, never thought mr tang would go buy a valentine card. i dont remember uncle buying me valentine's card - ohh maybe once. it's really amazing that 2 people bought the same exact card for the same occassion. (maybe mr tang got some inside information from vp or rena, hehehe) anyway, is this what they called chemistry???

so, mrs tang, both of you are meant to be. you guys are MFEO!!! (if you've watched sleepless in seattle)

great minds think same

wow...what are the odds of both husband and wife getting the same card from a diff place at a diff time for the same occasion? now, this odd to be blog! i am so proud of you billynut, you have "learnt" to be so romantic over the years, know how to buy V card now somemore...

ok la, give you the credit for being a A+ husband la, our hubbies also don't know the existence of this blog ah...*sob sob*, at least we have billynut here to share our ups, downs, high tide, low tide, orgasm and non-orgasm period.

OD
dont know how we juggle 2-3 kids? hahahaa, actually i also donno how to, but if HE wants to give me, i accept la, watching them grow is a learning curve, i agree that taking care is the most difficult part, so i told myself, if i am preg again, i would quit working instantly!

I am not young anymore la...so oi jau fai tit lo...if i am as young as sandy, sure no prob!

if it wasn't for Sandy, i wouldn't have remember about the hotels, luckily we have her this trip. has billy influenced us to be a NUT too?

M.I.A

So sorry guys been MIA lately , been busy with work and lauren as usual no good reason not to comment on the blog lately but i really have been quite busy. I have been reading the BnP blog everyday but I don't have the time to comment . For RED GAL - I would have chosen the love of my life instead of the 2 other ppl. And as for my dearest billy he is a nut ... sometimes i have to figure out what he has to say coz he loves to short cut sentences .. so pls excuse him ... hahah he is "AH LUT"
For VP so no rainne yet .. I dun know how you guys can juggle 2 or 3kids at the same time, 1 is more than enuff for me ... having kids is a bundle of joy but taking care of them is the hardest.
So have we sorted where we are staying in BKK ? Update me with the details ... thanks to sandy for reminding us to book the rooms or else we would have gone and slept on the street .....

billyt says:
we take turn cos need to jaga my precious
i just put in comment


there goes our conversation...

the answer reveals...

i cant wait for od's answer. cause by the time she replies, i think everyone would have forgotten this blog... hehehe

everyone, i guess, after seeing the answer will think that it's the best answer, but there is no one (including myself) who can think of this answer.

why??? is it because we never want to give up any advantage we held in our hands? sometimes, we would gain more if we were able to give up our stubbornness, limitations and advantage.

there you go... the answer to the question....

"give the keys to the doctor, let the doctor take the old lady to the hospital and i stay to wait for the bus with the love of my life!!"

how's that???

international women's day

happy international women's day! let us remember those ordinary women as makers of history. those who has path ways for us that we may celebrate freedom today. to the women in our family that came before us for being the mothers they have been. without them, we might not have today or be where we are today.

so, let us thank those who made living today possible for us.

not raining

yesterday at work, i vomitted twice, wanted to go for third already, but was worried to get my colleagues so worked up. everyone speculated that i was pregnant again, especially with the latest bulge in the stomach and growing appetitite. i assured them "no" as my period is due any day soon. it was just the food i took during lunch.

i msned AM, she too "kong hei-kong hei" me. i told her that i was leaving work soon to buy a test "kid". then she asked me why i never wait for her, together bether again like last time, very boring to be pregnant alone...hehehehehe

i went to gym like usual yesterday, AM smsed me "so how, got rain ah?"

i went home, saw renee's chocolates, ate some and then i remembered what AM once said, she and PAL would crave for chocs a few days before their period - is that a sign?

this morning i tested and replied her "mou lok yue"

i am glad that rainne is not here, i would love to have another looi but i don't think i can cope with 3 brads. yesterday MIL told me reeve have been very mischievious lately, climbing, snatching, crying, pulling etc...

Monday, March 06, 2006

think about it...

i dunno whether you guys received this mail before or not. but i find it really interesting and thought i should share this with you.

you are driving a car, on a big storm night. there are 3 people who were waiting for the bus.
1) an old lady who is dying
2) a doctor who saved your life before
3) someone you have been wanting to be married to

you can only take one passenger with you, which one would you choose?

please EXPLAIN your reason. think about it!!

there is an excellent answer which i will post later after all your answers. well, for those who has seen this, you should already know, but just keep quiet first ok...

not so scary movie

i have watched heirloom. it's very slow moving, but the story line was great. not much scary scenes, though. but still, vp & i hide behind the blankets. no ghosts suddenly appear scenes, no scaring you scenes. so for those who are afraid, you need not be afraid.

hahaha, what the hell am i trying to say?

just go and grab the dvd. nice nice story line.

snap-shot

very well, i have been thinking for the past 2 weeks about getting myself a new camera. i liked my old camera - canon ixus v3 3.2MP, but for a number of reasons excuses, i wanna change.
1) it doesnt have the anti-red eye thingy
2) it doesnt have the anti-shake thingy
3) it is not light
4) it is blah blah blah

u can get a million & one excuse to get a brand new thing, well, just one word explains all "OLD". hehehe, having read papers everyday, seeing those newer version of cameras being advertised, how can you not be tempted?

i am looking for a higher megapixel, smaller, more compact, user friendly.... cheap & nice!!!
vp, is, od all told me not to get sony. hehehe, majority wins, better not. well, i have considered a few...

1) nikon coolpix s6 (6.0mp)
2) canon ixus 750 (7.1mp)
3) casio exilim ex-z850 (8.1mp)
4) sony cybershot dsc-n1 (8.1mp)

argh... when i buy things, i need to consider a million and one things. damn 'ma fan'. any suggestions, ladies????

frightened!!!

let me tell you why i'm blogging about this. yesterday over brunch, vp & i were talking about "the maid" marketing gimmick. i heard from bett what the singaporeans did was...
in every cinema toilet, they made a maid-lookalike board and placed it right at the end. wow, that's scary.

according to vp, malaysians way of marketing was...
after every movie (all movies) starts, a girl dressed exactly like "the maid", walked from the top to the screen then up again, without stopping. f**k, i would have screamed like mad.

i am a fan of horror movies, but unfortunately everytime after i watch one, i will be damn scared and will force uncle to follow me everywhere, he is not supposed to leave my sight. and the funny thing is only asian horror films tend to scare me. uncle always say - kwailo kwai not scary.
anyway, there are a few horror movies in the cinema now. first one i'm eyeing on is the heirloom. eeee, saw the preview yesterday in 1u. scary.... another one is acted by ekin cheng, recycle.. apparently it's the same director as the eye, the eye II, the eye 10. The other day kwailo called asking to watch 49Days, which is also a horror movie, but the not-so-scary one. the next one, i think it's a crazy horror movie - dont open your eyes.

so should we all go watch together? or i'll just sit home and wait for vp to tell me the story.

Stylist

Ok as you guys know i have gone and tried Janie's Japo hairstylist Yukisan . She is not bad but the price is a bit high .. Well I wouldn't know what is cheap anyways coz when i had my hair long I didn't need to go see a stylist, I would always ask someone to help me trim my ends that shows how cheap skate I am. hahaha. She did quite a good job with my hair I like the back but the sides so..so... I think i will keep it abit long this time ie.. another couple of weeks and then do a bop instead.. hahaha Something is way wrong with me and billy thinks i have gone mad cutting my hair all the time... I think when my MIL sees my hair she is going to say Audrey "sot cho" ahahah
Thank god Joanne didn't go or else hers would be at least 250 with colour i think ... So i saved Jo's wallet this time and you have to spend me dinner for helping you save money :)

Phobia?

Phobia? mou wo...

i just have strong feelings of the presence of non-humans in rooms. so i will freak out and my ears will shrink to hide away from listening to any sounds/reflexions. Usually when i enter such places i.e gsc toilets, washrooms, hotel rooms, classrooms, genting view apartments..etc..This one is more like senses/insticts rather than phobia right?

another one is "too close". i get scared when i get close to actual monuments or mountains seen on pictures, not all but here are a few to name.

Mount Fuji - was at the foothill, feet was frozen, could not walk, too scared to take shower in the room as the toilet faces the Mount Fuji.
Eiffel Tower - Stood at the foot of the tower, looked up and wondered "what if" one of the 4foots were to step on me...
QE2 - Huge liner parked at the dock of Kowloon, didnt dare to get close to it, was just standing across the road to see...the shadow was so huge

very silly hai mai?

too much in a day

the gynae
yesterday i met vp in gleneagles for the yearly checkup thing. i find this new gynae quite acceptable, i might as well use him as i hate long waitings. anyway, after that we went for a small brunch in gloria jeans. we both oredered nice tasty sandwiches, but our wrong judgment ended us up with 2 "taste-like-shit-medicine" drinks (fyi, it's called italian soda). we shared a couple of things - ie, her simplicity blog. after that we both headed back to office.

the salon
due to some fairly important matters in the office, i had to delay my salon-appointment with od. at around 2:45pm, she sms-ed me saying that if i go at 3, i might have to wait very long. so in other words - dont come!!!

the salon II
after i sent my precious home, under supervision of the 2 maids, i fleed to a salon in aman suria. i quite like the new hair cut (at least, uncle notice i cut my hair for the first third time). anyway, i find it quite reasonable too (the pricing). for my hair to colour it costs rm140 - 30% discount. well, i dunno whether it would look as nice as vp's & sin's, but it's really cheap.


fyi, those who has short hair (i'm refering to od & uncle) - colour is only rm60 - 20% discount.

the sashimi
when i reached the restaurant, no need to think - i headed to the sashimi section. i think i filled my tummy with much salmon. well i did ate a lil teppanyaki, chawanmushi & "IS's recommendation soba"

i felt my tummy a lil uneasy. i think must be those salmon. which i ended up late to work.

phobia freak

for most people who know me, will know that i have several phobia. hehehe, let me briefly define phobia - it is a persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.

well, i think i have 2 phobias that bother me very much. first and foremost is the fear of injections (aka, tyrpanophobia). the second one which i think has worsen is the fear of veins (aka, veinophobia???, couldnt find it in the net).

the latter is the one who bothers me the most. everytime i stand up right, i have a fear where my veins will break. argh..... and when this comes to mind, i will have to quickly find a chair to sit, or in other words, bend my veins.

yucks!!! anyone, do you have a phobia too? wonder what it's called? go check it out...

sashimi attack

for those who ffk (i.e. vp and od... even though mom and children were the reason... not excepted... you can say the same NEXT time when i have children but until then, both of you ffk), you missed the numerous pieces of sashimi we had... at least, am and i. :P

we also had cawan mushi, teppanyaki, miso soup, sushi (duh!), ice cream and etc etc.

i think we both put on a few pounds.... yalar, pounds only, not kg.

friends indeed

after reading vp's blog, i thought i had to blog. well, yes, i always understood and treasured friendship. it's really fate that we met. the world's population has come up to an enormous figure - 6,446,131,400 (July 2005 est.). and still we can be friends. how can we not treasure?

well, it's like finding nemo in the ocean. sometimes, even living in the same block in an apartment, when fate is not there, you will not meet. but somehow, we met, even as far as ampang - subang - kl - seputeh. hahaha, sound a bit 'kua cheong' hehehe.

anyway, it's nice knowing there are friends who care around you....

so to all friends out there, treasure & appreciate!!! it's merely a matter of understanding, forgiving, forgetting ....blah blah blah.... (in other words, it means = party - diapers - milk powder - sales - mahjong - swimming - eat - blog - gossip - etc etc)

ffk-ed

looking at the title, u guys must have thought that i will ffk you all. but surprisingly it's od who is gonna ffk us. she wont be joining us for dinner. her mummy dearest is sick and lil lauren is grumpy. so she will only meet me in the salon. after her new hairdo, she will head back home to see her 2 most precious people (well, of course billy is another precious, hehehe).

so are we still having this buffet dinner? hehehe, no matter how i will still head on - with my precious re & hubby.

so long!!!!

simplicity...

last night i met up with Kelly and Eddie, we ate, spoke and smoked. she said that i have changed alot in form of attitude, appearance not so much (hehehe..good). she asked me why i chose ronnie? it was such an easy question so my answer was "simple". he was so simple when i met him, he was in his lousiest shorts, the thinnest white t-shirt, slippers and a wira that had roaches in it! Kelly knew both Ken and Tim (my ex). she laughed and then said those were just beautiful "accessories" (referring to my ex's) and ronnie had unknowingly moulded me from hot-headed to calm, party animal to a good mum and blah blah blah...

i looked at my inner-self and asked if i had really changed that much? i remember billy once told me a few years back that eversince i had renee, i had lost my "chao pei hei", i think having kids will have effect on a person's lifestyle+temper. like what AM wrote, kids are our teachers and so are we(something like that la). kelly also added that i see things with a fuller view now, wider perspective, not so playful (in other words more mature). *sob sob, old liao*

on a seperate note, both allan and mel will be moving back to seputeh soon, the latter maybe next year but allan will be in april. when he told me, i was overwhelmed cum flabbergasted, but same time i also told him sadly "but i will be moving to lake fields adi wo". i was just telling julie tay the other day how i missed our teenage times with allan, beatrice, mel, laiman etc...we had no worries, no committments, all single and all out to laugh and enjoy. we look back and we have known each other for an alarming 18 years! wow...sometimes in life, small things will drift us apart, but no matter what happens, be it good or bad, rough or smooth, we are still darn good of a friend when we sit tgth. we bitch to confront of our problems to the person we are not haapy about and next we know, we will shrug shoulders again. through the years we had so many confrontations but it will NEVER affect us.

so...please do not let anything come between us too AM, OD and IS! let's age together and hang on to one another, should there be times when i am rude or non-responsive, please excuse me and move on. OD and i too have known each other for 16-17 years, as for AM and IS, a little less than 6, so again, appreciate out relationship and courtship, there is a reason why HE let us meet!

CHEERIO!
