How to be a vainpot?

Confession.

There’s much much much lesser photos of myself in this blog comparing to.. I don’t know, n years ago, is because…. most of the time I just feel fat and ugly. Okay, scrap that, I AM fat and ugly. period.

For the past months, I’d been refraining myself in clicking fashion sites because I’m trying to quit, I mean.. kill the desire of purchasing something expensive that costs a big fraction of my paycheck. I want to own that classy bag that I’ve been drooling for years, I want to buy that gorgeous dress, and I don’t know why impulse purchase just don’t happen to me! Is that a good thing or bad? I’ve been wearing the same clothes over and over again. I’ve transformed into this freaking boring person that is not inspired by anything, at all!

DIY projects, meh…. lazy.

Dress up for work…. Are you crazy? How to run walk fast in those heels you tell me? I work in a primary school okay.

Dress up for no reason... My friends will just look at me and say, “Wah.. you go wedding ah?”
(Which reminds me why I always enjoy my time with my girly bloggers because everyone looks so gorgeous and I feel really motivated to put on make up and wear something nice when I’m with them)

Dress up for Bobby? He’s going to say.. “Why you wear so nice? I wear so ugly.. I feel so bad standing next to you”… or “You already look pretty. There’s no need for make up.”

L.I.A.R!!!

Okay, how about put on some facial mask? But.. but… it’s going to drip all over and I’m too busy visiting my neighbours (in CityVille btw).

Gosh.. I got no life!

 

Hence boys and girls, I announce officially to you now that… my resolution for 2011 is –
Becoming a VAINPOT!!!

And I hope I can be serious about this.

For a start, I’d applied body moisturizer after shower, and some leave-on conditioner for my hair.

Next, going to wash my face (which I do twice a day btw, I’m not that carefree) and use those facial masks!

Tomorrow morning, I am going to wake up 5 minutes earlier just to use that freaking BB cream or at least some foundation.

And, I want to start losing those excess weight I gained from not exercising enough!

 

 

 

 

There, you better stick to what you wrote here woman or else your only-showers-you-with-negativity-friends will take this post as a weapon to hurt you.. (which they give a nice name to it wrapping it up in candy coat to make it sound angelic, “Reverse Psychology”)

 

Anyways, to all those vainpots out there, any tips for me?

The sort of “school-event” that I look forward to

 

I was given a last minute task and had to sit in the office and complete it today. Yeap, permission given for not entering any of my classes. Sounds great? No! Not because of the job but, I really hate sitting at my seat for the whole morning.

In fact, I’m hating my seat.

Last year when we had a whole new seating arrangement, I was super excited over it. Because I finally got to sit near with my beeyoches in school. 4 of us joined our tables and formed an island in the middle of the area. We’re close to the table (where they always put the food there), we’re close to the sink area and our colleagues are just steps away.

So what’s there to hate?

It’s the “aircon seat”!!!!!!!

Well, for some of you, you may really envy me because the aircons blows directly on my head, my face, my back. Not one, but two bloody aircons! One window unit and one split unit, placed next to each other.

Tak boleh tahan ah!

Normally, I would just put my bags, checked if any memos or notes on my table, then grabbed my lappie and head to my lab. Only when I need to use the washroom, or bored being alone, or makan breakfast, then I’ll come down to the staffroom. I like it that way.

So today, I sat on my seat the whole morning and I end up battling flu now. Ya, oh wow, happy, whatever.

My nose is “solar-powered”.

If you put me in an aircon room 24/7, I think I’ll die sneezing my nose off.

Even students who saw me laughed at my Rudolph-nose today. Colleagues commented that I had “damam-face” with all the teary eyes and continuous sniffing. I don’t want to take MC tomorrow lah. In fact, I’ve never taken any MC for this job.

Oh well, gotta go drink lots of water now. I’m anti-Panadol if you haven’t notice. I hate all medicines, and I believe the body will heal naturally if the right food eaten. Instead of panadols, why not pop some vitamins?

So yeah… can’t wait to change my seat end of the year. Yeehaaa!

Woosh, long time don’t blog like that liao, one word. Mindless. Hahahahhaa.

No photos lagi~

Evil calories in Mooncake


Gosh! This blog is seriously turning into a food blog.

Well, mainly because I choose not to blog about any current affairs. I have my personal point of view in things but I think I don’t need to share it publicly here. Furthermore, I think that ZekZek Kaching boy has enough publicity around already and I so so so so do not want to contribute anymore to his fame when what he did was…. I don’t know, I can’t find any appropriate word for it.

Let’s talk about something sweet.

MOONCAKES!

P1110843

The box is so pretty right? Am going to keep it and use it as my money box.

It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of sweet things. And mooncake is like… the adam & eve of evil calories! While munching the green tea mooncake (because Bobby said I must eat at least one slice), I read the thin piece of nutrition facts in the box and nearly got choked!

I am only going to show you all the calories in it.

Net weight of a mooncake : +- 180gm
Serving size : +-22.5gm (about 1/8 piece of mooncake)

Mooncake Flavor Calories Per 100gm Calories Per Serving
Pure Lotus 380 kcal 86 kcal
Pure Lotus Single York 434 kcal 98 kcal
Pure Lotus Double York 448 kcal 101 kcal
Shanghai Pure Lotus Single York 442 kcal 100 kcal
Low Sugar White Lotus 385 kcal 87 kcal
Low Sugar White Lotus Single York 405 kcal 91 kcal
Red Bean 363 kcal 82 kcal
Green Tea 378 kcal 85 kcal
Green Tea Red Bean 390 kcal 88 kcal
Pandan Lotus 376 kcal 85 kcal
Pandan Lotus Single York 408 kcal 92 kcal
Pandan Pumpkin 371 kcal 84 kcal
Pearl of Prosperity 408 kcal 92 kcal
Mixed Nuts 408 kcal 92 kcal
Pearl of Harmony 364 kcal 82 kcal
Supreme Mixed Nuts 402 kcal 90 kcal
Tiramisu (Cantonese Coffee Pastry Skin) 358 kcal 81 kcal
Toffee Chocolate Walnut Brownie 396 kcal 89 kcal
Green Tea Berries 370 kcal 83 kcal
Low Sugar Yam Gingko 420 kcal 95 kcal
No Sugar Added White Lotus 407 kcal 92 kcal
Precious Black 374 kcal 84 kcal
Rich Chocolate Peanut Praline 387 kcal 87 kcal
Mocha Almond Fudge 372 kcal 84 kcal
Blueberry Blackcurrant Cheese 347 kcal 78 kcal
Chestnut Japanese Jingsa 374 kcal 84 kcal

Kick or not? One small slice already 80+ kcal!

A man needs about 2,000 to 2,200 kcals a day. It’s like, you eat 3 mooncakes a day and you can’t eat anything else already and still gain weight!!

*stares at the pure lotus single york mooncake Bobby bought*

Anyone want to share this fattiness with me?

The relationship between Jollibee and Credit Card


Went to Jollibee Tutong for quick lunch last Saturday with Rohana and the students after attending the Inforama Closing Ceremony. Half way through our meal, a staff came over and passed us a “Feedback Book” to fill in.

Being nosy and bored, we flipped through the pages and read the previous entries filled in by other customers. It was really fun to see what was being written.

Most of the suggestions we came across were like…

  • Playground for children
  • Wifi
  • Bigger portion
  • Free meals for regular customers (???)

And… what I wrote was “wifi” and… “Maybe Sungkai buffet?”.
Rohana suggested redeem card like those Kokoberry one.

This particular one *points below* is one of a kind!

P1110585

Read the highlighted part.

*sweat* whatthefidodido….

I’m not going to touch the topic on “credit card” because I know what I’m going to say is going to offend like… 80% of the credit card holders. So, you’re having difficulties in paying and suggested Jollibee giving you discount?

That’s like, WOW! So “smart” (and irresponsible) of you huh~

And, if you have increment and maybe during month of receiving bonus, Jollibee should increase the price too lah, since you mentioned “mengikut perjalanan masa sekarang” right?

A little fun in life

 

I’ve been whining that I need a little excitement to whoever darlings I’d met. I have no idea why I’ve been so emo and frustrated out of nothing…

Here’s a short video…

It’s true… the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better is by making it fun to do so.

And that’s why I put on my track suit (not exactly a proper one..) and drove to OGDC, parked my car and went for a random walk. It made me feel alive in some way. Just when I was about to reach the monument.. the music player of my humble E63 played  纵贯线’s 亡命之徒…

It’s one of my favorite, especially the verse sang by Wakin.

为什么 该有的都有还是觉得不够 天呀 该不会是贪心的念头

为什么 拼了命地工作 拼了命地追梦 到头来原地没有动过

为什么 万里晴空下的面孔 庸庸碌碌不开心地锁着眉头 要向谁哭诉

为什么 想去看场电影 该死的台风偏偏选在每一个的周末

为什么 这个世界上 就是有人穷得发疯 有人富有 把钞票当作了枕头

为什么 新闻里鼻酸故事 只为了偷面包给妈妈 充饥的小偷

为什么 一百个为什么 变成一千个 一万个 十万个 为什么

为什么 我想破头写不出个鸟 念念念 我为了什么

Half half


I was ecstatic when I know the squat toilet is going to be replaced by a sitting one. And new wall tiles too! But then.. I guess I “happy too early”.

P1110034

New toilet bowl, new wall tiles, new paint.

This is how my toilet looks like now…
Yeap, that’s it… that’s all.
The floor is going to be like that.
钟无艳。

Half all tiles, half new cement.
How “modern contemporary”.

P1110036

Same goes to the bathroom.

The contractor convenient told us that “It’s not on the job list” when asked why is the floor like that. Seriously…. what the heck is this? Cannot tolerate okay.

So, I asked if I buy some floor tiles from them, and get the workers fix it, how much will be it? (Mind you, I asked for the cheapest tile)

$300.00!!! (Labour + tiles + cement)

*faint*

Niameh…

Haih, better consult other contractor or wait for the inspection and tell them. Kanasai to the max.

Replica

 

Everyday when I log in to my facebook account and read on the news feed and such, I’ll definitely see friends’ names being tagged on LV(s), Burberry(s), Gucci(s) that’s selling for…

BND 60.00!

Upon seeing that, I’ll end up with a deep sigh thinking why are these people selling and buying fakes?

Selling replicas is illegal, maybe buying is not.. but, that’s still not a good reason to get them isn’t it? I don’t judge people who buy fakes because I have tons of colleagues and friends who’s happily carrying their fakes to work. Once I was browsing Burberry’s site and all the girls squeezed with me looking at those yummy bags but once they saw the price, they said this..

“Ai… so expensive! Nevermind lah, just buy the replica”

Sure those bags are overpriced… but, buying fakes is like you’re indirectly stealing money from those talented designers who did the hard work. And I’m pretty sure the quality is definitely worth every dime you pay for it. Do you want

1) A fake bag that costs you $80 but can only last you 8 months, or

2) An authentic one, expensive but lasting you for years and years?

A friend once asked me whether or not I’ll buy a fake and I said no. I’ll rather get cheaper bags like Vincci or Charles & Keith, even bags with no brand than buying a replica. Well, it’s  true.. till now the most expensive bag I own is probably the Coach Madison Sabrina which I got for my birthday last year, and a Burberry wallet.. birthday gift from last last year… both from Bobby, by the way. I’m not rich and am too karit to splurge on bag, for the moment. But I’m not ashamed of my Charles & Keith though~

Fakes are everywhere! What if, that you’re using a real one and people come question if it’s a fake? Oh well, of course I’ll feel a little insulted (if it ever happens) but, I know clearly that how much I’ve save for that bag and I’ll still feel confident carrying it around. The joy, I guess it’s indescribable. Just like men vrooming their dream cars after all the years of saving. Pride, I’ll say.

I can’t really say the same for pirated DVDs though… because I’m guilty, I buy pirated DVDs if the cinema is not showing the movie I want to watch.

Anyway, real or fake, you suka hati lah…

I’m a pogo stick


Those who follows me on twitter or read your news feed in FB should know that I damn hero sprained my ankle this morning, while playing netball with the students. 

And this,

  P1080992 
is how my FAT & Beautiful left foot looks like now~
just nice enough to make braised pig trotter what the falalala-lalalala~


Just 2 years ago, also at school, I sprained my right ankle.

How great…

When I sprained my ankle this morning, I thought to myself thinking it was also my left ankle that I sprained… maybe it’s true that repeated sprains in the same joint make the joint less stable and more prone to future sprains (from here).

And now I know I sprained both ankles before… yeah! time for celebration, not!

The mahal part was,
when I was resting my foot after dragging myself out of the court, my gb (guru besar (for non-teachers) and it’s obviously not a jargon) came to me and said,

“This shows…. you gained weight”

Just what I need to hear when I was in pain. Ouch me very much.
(Oh, it’s okay, I’m sure he’s just joking. *COUGH VERY LOUD*)


As for the netball match (final), we got the second place.

Our opponent was a really strong team who trashed other teams with scores like 21:0 and we only lost by 1 point with dignity! *proud*

 


Shirl.. that’s an awkward pose you got there…

 

Anyways, back to my sprained ankle…
I’m hopping around the house like a pogo stick and trying to rest on bed as much as I can, which I always do anyway.

Pray that this Sunday I’ll be fit to run this Sunday for paintball!
Eeeehaaaawwwww!

p/s: When I asked if Bobby wanna join the paintball game, he answered..

“I’ll join! It’s not like I get to aim and shoot you everyday!!”

Uh-uh…. I sense “revenge”.

Pro kali ah..

Yet another post without any pictures...

Because, my adapter still in "hospital".

Listened to Uncle Jan Shim and sent the adapter to repair in a shop in Seria and that stupid technician just wouldn't listen! I told him what's the problem with the adapter and after few hours, he insisted there's no problem with it.

Partly my fault too because I forgot to bring my lappie along to show him that it's not charging. Yes, the adapter showed lights on it and there's power, but at the other end some wires inside seems disconnected that's why my lappie is not charging!

He asked me to go back today and guess what, he said he opened up the adapter and there's no problem. ARGHHHH!!! Some people just don't listen! Why open up the adapter when there's no problem with it, check the wires lah! Palau eh!

Lucky he didn't charge me else... Nonnie the evil lioness appears karang.

Hence, I sent it to the Indian shop (just opposite the petrol station, which I'm sure people who lives in Seria will sure know where) and he's damn pro!!!

I only told him like half of what the problem is, he terus continued the sentence for me!
Plugged in the adapter and connected to my lappie, bent the wire here and there and he knew which area got problem. He said he has to cut open the wire and reconnect it and it's going to cost $10. Not bad lah! Better than buying a brand new adapter when it's only the wire yang rosak kan?

Then I walked a little further down the street (wah seh! I actually stopped myself from visiting the pasar malam when I could smell those tongkeng bakar!), went into a sanctuary spa to ask about eye lash extensions.

B$40, but only last 2 - 3 weeks. 
The tauke-nio actually told me that because my lids are quick thick, maybe it won't be very obvious (from far) but still can strings of lashes (like spider's legs kali?) lah. 

Now... I don't know if I should go ahead and do it..
After all, $40 for something that only last 2-3 weeks.... I karit. 


Wah, long time to post random musings like this liao.
Hahahhaa. Hope you guys don't mind ojipalas like this.

Convo Drama

 

WHY IS SOLIYATY ANGGIYANIE SITTING SO FAR AWAY FROM ME MASA CONVO????????

 

Eee yer!

She had been next to me whenever we’re seen together wa!
We have the same pace, same thoughts, same type of silly humour that only both of us understand.

Ai yer!

And her melodramatic-self today screamed the same in FB too.

sol

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!
So funny Mett’s comment lah.



Anyway, tomorrow have to reach ICC by 6.15am ler.
Meaning, have to start driving from Seria at 5am… maybe?
I just hope I won’t snooze my alarm.



And hor, I was super-duper mad at this stupid time-waster on Monday. She made me waited for her for 45 minutes!!!!!

Okay la, I know if you have to minta tolong from someone, have to tahan la… But then, this one … I really don’t know what to say lah.

I have zero patience when it comes to punctuality! 15 minutes of waiting time is like my maximum tolerance already.

Before that day, I had already texted her that I would be going to BSB on Monday and meet her in the afternoon since she lives in Tutong. And on Monday itself, while I was on my way back to Seria, I sms-ed her asking for her address. But with my limited knowledge on geographical location in Tutong, I opted for an easier choice, let’s just meet at Hua Ho Tutong, if it’s not too far from her.

She replied, Ok. Are you coming from KB now?

No, I’m already in Tutong.

Ok, just wait. I take shower first.




What the……
I already told her that I was in Tutong liao yet she wanted to take a shower first.

So okay la… no choice.
I need the favor from her.
Cannot complain….

I texted her again telling her that I need to get back to Seria by 3.45pm.
And it was approaching 3pm that time.

So I waited …. and waited… and waited in Hua Ho. I got nothing to buy and I suck in shopping. Very sien la…

Then 3.30pm liao (30 minutes okay! I don’t wait that long for people one.) , she’s still not here yet.
I sms-ed her asked if she’s coming or not.
She replied “otw”.

Then…. I waited … and waited.. and waited again…
3.45pm…..
I sms-ed her again, telling her I really don’t have the time to wait already and asked if she’s reaching.

She replied,
“Give me few more minutes. You should have tell me earlier. I don’t drive a plane you know.



GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

I WANNA STRANGLE HER LAHHHHHH


Cry also no tears ah…!!!!

 

 

Okay. Ending rant.


 

 

 

Anyway, I’m joining the JPMC car boot sale this coming Sunday.
But I have not prepared for anything yet.
Die lah.


 

Then convo this Saturday.
I only have this Friday to prepare everything la….

Then, I don’t have umbrella lagi in the car.

And, I have no idea how car boot sales look like.
And, how to arrange the items ah?
And, sure very hot hor? No shelter one…
And, and, and,

okay la okay la

I will be rajin to update Spirithrift.

Love Love Love E(bay)-Shopping!

 

Everyone knows how much I hate it when I walk in a shop and sales attendants start to tailgate me and trying to make small talks convincing me to make purchase.

And then, I discovered E-shopping!
No need to talk to anyone.
Don’t like the price, don’t buy.
All the latest stuffs which is not available in Brunei yet.

No, I’m not talking about blogshops.
As a matter of fact, I still have not pop my “buying from local blogshops” cherry.

I’m talking about…….. EBAY!

*cue gasps from audience*



Hahahahhahaha!

I don’t know why some people gave me the “OMG! She dares to buy things from Ebay! Secondhand stuffs! Fake! Later people don’t kirim out how?! Rosak one! Tipu one!” looks when I told them I got it from ebay. Especially with that disgusted tone.


 

For most, Ebay is like a myth. Some says its good, some says it’s bad, mostly, EVIL and ADDICTIVE! And what motivated me to dare dare press the button to confirm bid was when my colleague bought an authentic Coach bag. Yes, authentic! With the card, box, receipt and even dust bag! NWT! And it did arrived to her doorstep. Then, I took out my credit card and signed up for Paypal, testing testing dulu. The first thing I bought from Ebay was…. erasers.

Hehehee. What? As if you all don’t know I love erasers and collect them.
(And I’m thinking if I should open a hobby blog just to showcase my precious.
Iwako erasers for my birthday?)


Because it’s not very expensive and, if really hilang or whatever unfortunate happens to the parcel, at least I won’t feel that bad. Take it as a lesson lo. But it did arrived!

Then I started to buy more and more stuffs…
But never exceed $100 lah.
All small small items ranging from gadgets like my QuikPod to I don’t know…

I’d help others get their stuffs from ebay too because not all has Paypal, to the extent that, I visited the post office like twice a week. Sampai the staffs there no need see my card also could find my items, and also those lovely custom officers. When they saw me, they would ask, “Apa barang kali ini?”

LOL.


I don’t know ah. The feeling of receiving mails are damn good bah!
It’s like Christmas!
You don’t know what’s inside till you open it up.

01
The parcels that I received yesterday, all from Ebay sellers.


05

Keyboard skin – USD 3.50.
Free shipping.

Fit fit my M1330! Not those longgar-longgar one for whatever inch size.
It fits all the keys on my keyboard well~

03
Lipocils (recommended by friends for longer lashes) – USD 18.00 *cough cough*
Shills Miss Perfect Pores Hide Makeup Primer Foundation – USD 7.00
Free shipping.



04

My very vintage-looking camera case, I love I love! – USD14.88
Free shipping.
With battery case and straps also la of course. 


02
The most expensive!

Bobby’s super old football comic that costs a bomb (in my opinion). But that’s his only obsession so I guess it’s okay. He’s not into cars, not into expensive sports, not into alcohol, doesn’t smoke, gamble and even baju also buruk-buruk one. These comics are what he really loves so can lah, eventhough it’s a little expensive.

He had been bugging me last few days (EVERYDAY!)
“Bi…. my books arrive already?”

Yesterday, after collecting the parcels from post office, I text him,

“Hohoho! Merry Nonniemas! Gimme chocolate milk and cookies and I’ll give you your comic books!”

“Alright yeah yeah. How does Patchi and Famous Amos sounds? This is the best news I’ve heard for today. You’ve made my day. Thank you”

“No. I want Starbucks Caramel Mocha. That one enough liao. Hehehe. I wrap 10 layers of newspapers, put cellotape somemore, see you frustrated unwrapping it more fun”

“You got yourself a deal. Why not put it in a cake? Hahaha”

“Kanasai! Its suppose to make you cry one. Tabalik kana you request for cake lagi. I really kalah”


 



p.s: Anyone in UK can tolong source it? Mahal wah the shipping! Bobby still has some outstanding issues to complete his collection.

 

 

 

And, I just won this (pretty baby) bid from Ebay yesterday.

HDQ_IDGARDENNY_FD20090930100838078991111

Gossip Girl inspired feather headband – USD 4.50 (Free shipping)
Buy it now price – USD 9.99.

(Hah! Damn good bargain kan?)

These “in” headbands are ridiculously priced in local (blog)shops and I couldn’t even bear to watch them. The karit-ness in me just say no.

 

And and, my colleague bought a sidekick from Ebay too!
Unlocked! For only $100+


Of course, I do know that there’s some risks in buying stuffs from ebay because it’s not there to hold and try. But, my advice is… read the feedbacks of the seller, establish communications and… don’t buy things yang mahal-mahal lah. Because mahal one I also scare won’t sampai or kana tipu. LOL. You want good bargains, must do a little homework mah.

Please don’t hold me responsible if you want to buy things from ebay and the things never sampai, or is different from what you expect ah.

Took a walk down the memory lane

 

I did took a walk literally. 

01


I had always felt like an (self-titled) outcast for the past 5 years of my secondary school life. I don’t know, I’m just so different from the majority because I had to walk back home, on the long stretch of road alone.

*sulk* I wished so hard that I live along Jalan Perakong, or maybe Lumut, Labi or Sg. Liang because syok bah, so many people walking together heading to the town, bidding bye to every single person when they reached their destinations. Me leh, walked alone like sa-po one.

09

The 10-minutes walk.


I was really stupid and rebellious… Because I thought I would have look really stupid holding a navy umbrella with super auntie floral print and, malu bah. You know lah, teenagers really want face one. So no matter how hot it was, or how heavy the rain, I would stubbornly walked home without umbrella.

Unless, its my super-chio transparent umbrella which I could only use during the rainy days. Hahhahahhaa. Useless.

So ya, you don’t need to ask why am I so tan already. No la, the skin tone is hereditary one. Just bluffing cannot meh?

03

I hated it so much whenever people asked me why I had to walk home. Why I so kasian one? What the.. walk home very kasian meh? Chew. No rice to eat baru kasian lah! Then without waiting for my answer, they terus interrupted and asked again.

”Your father leh? Your mother leh? Why they let you walk one….?”

Don’t know if really kuan-xin (care) then ask one or just kaypo (busybody) want to find new topic to gossip nia….

Hence, the super stubborn me only allowed (or granted, eesehman, macam so steady) certain people to send me home when they saw me so kerlian walking. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

Awwww… I miss those days that I would just wait for 48’s papa with her in tuition or whatsoever ojipala things/places to 搭顺风车. Hehehhee.


02 

Then hor, also got some bugger (a tuition mate whom I was not so close with but he sibeh samseng one. Neh, those 16 years old still in Form 1 one. I’m sure you know people like that) who would throw rubbish through the window trying to aim at me or pointed his middle finger at me when I walked past. Ya la ya la, you got car to sit lah, you steady la got keropok to eat lah.

*roll eyes*

 

04

This, was where the weekend tamu used to be located, causing traffic jam every Saturday. Crazy I tell you, there’s 3 schools in that area so go figure how bad the traffic was. But, I miss it lah. 

Sometimes, if I was not too lazy, I would wake up extra early to go to tamu with my mum wearing slippers (and my socks and school shoes in the car) in anticipation of asking my mum to buy me the siew-mai or fried meehoon or those Tora/Ding Dang. But, in return, I had to wait for her to finish her grocery shopping and carried those heavy plastic bag asking myself, why oh why, why my mum didn’t have those trolley or basket like other aunties do. So senang lah, not like me, carried till like a dog.

(But good also lah, because when those aunties saw me they would say, “Wah… your daughter ah? So kuai hor help you~". Hehehe. Satisfies my 虚荣心 (in terms of compliment) for a while.)

Sigh, those were the days.
Boh…… I also super long time don’t company my mum to tamu liao.
But, don’t want lah. Later those people start asking what I do and got boyfriend liao or not then the million dollar question again, WHEN KAHWIN?

(Not stressing you ah Bobby Lim. HAHHAHAHAHHHAAHHAHA)

I miss our class eh. F5 Science.

On the last day of school, we took off the bulletin board in our class, had quite a few screams because lizards and spiders were fleeing the scene, and took our pens and markers leaving traces behind. Eh eh. “Leaving traces” behind ah, not vandalizing. I remember during the 50th anniversary, I could still find my handwriting at one of the red bricks outside the class. Hahahhahaa.

Unfortunately, our ”traces” didn’t stay there for long. They painted the wall and our junior terpulang jadi copycat and did the same.

Really lor, I think our juniors damn un-creative.

With Chin Kang and Ah Kai, our stage decorations damn cool one. Then our batch was the first batch to have fashion show for Teacher’s day. Then hor, our junior copied also. We had helium balloons with ribbons (and had hell much fun inhaling it and talked like cartoon) in the hall for I forgot what function already. We made banners. We had dance performances (with no instructor! We’re our own instructor okay!)…… Year of Ninety.. okay, I better not say it here. I know how kaypo juniors can be, flipping the school magazine laughing at how ugly/ silly looking the seniors looked. Class photo wor, nobody looks good in class photo, especially when it’s taken outdoor with the blazing sun and everyone had to squint their eyes and had their face squeezed like a ball.

 

woohoo!!!!!

It’s MID-AUTUMN Festival, not MOONCAKE Festival!

 

Okay, let me be really straight here.

It annoys me to no end when I see people writing or saying
“Happy Mooncake Festival".

Gosh! If you’re not Chinese okay lah… But, oi, Chinese out there, we’re not celebrating because of mooncake lah, can? Damn throw face, sendiri punya festive also can say wrong name

We say 中秋节 and not 月饼节 lah! How can you all get this wrong?????????

Moon Festival also can, but not “mooncake” festival!

Same goes to those people who call 端午节, 果粽节 lah!

 

Anyhoos,

 

中秋节快乐!

 

Hope the weather will be good tonight so the kids can come out play lantern.

My Make-up Quirks

 

iI had long discovered that my procedures of putting on make-up (something which I’m still not very good at… still learning ba, gimme time gimme time gimme time) is quite different from others.

The usual steps will be,
Primer – Foundation – whatever you want to do your face
Then, eye brow pencil, eye shadow,eyelash curler, mascara, eyeliner…

Usually lah~

If I’m going to put on make up, the first thing I do after eyebrow pencil is… put on the mascara. Then baru curl. Sigh sigh sigh. No thanks to my heavily Chinese Foochow sepet eyes with dwarf-like eyelash length, I have to do things differently.

If I would want to curl my eyelash first, it will result in me… kiap-ing my heavy eyelids. I have lost count how many times I ter-kiap my eye lids with the eyelash curler so now I am using the cheap Watson heated one. I must elongate my eyelash first, baru can curl. Else, curl what curl?

Reason why I do my eyes first before my face (super tabalik from most people) is because, I have damn clumsy hands and always end up dirtying my face, with bits and pieces of eye shadow powder, or eyeliner bits falling on my face. So, no point lah, if I put on powder on my face first.. in the end also have to remove and reapply.

Super envy experts (in my eyes) like Maurina, and even Atul is catching up on me I think. Remember that time when I travelled with Mau, she only needs like 5 minutes to get it done! Gorgeous sparkling eyes~!

Once Sol and I decided to have a make up slumber party (ya, just the two of us, a bit lame I know. But who cares? As long as we had fun!) we put make up on each other and when it’s Soly’s turn, she was stuck and went.. “I DUNNO HOW TO DO YOUR EYES! IT’S SO DIFFERENT FROM MINE!”

LOL.

I always thought it’s a lot easier to put make up on big double-eyelid eyes because they already have super good condition to start with. And my eyes, macam A4 paper, so blank and flat!

I know, everyone says smokey eyes will look good on me, but… tak kan I everyday smokey. Day time also smokey later my students think I kana tumbuk ah. Hahahhaha.

Choco Fountain Choco Fountain!

 


Due to the Raya craze lately, in addition with my lack of physical activities (lying on the bed and munching on cuttlefish strings definitely does not count as exercise)….. expectedly, I’ve make some new friends around my face, waist, hip and thighs. Wooohoo! Not!


Not one, but quite a number of friends who I’d bumped into lately commented the same. And the most kua-cheong one was, “You gain, got 5 kg or not ah…..?”


*take shotgun and point at my right temple*

P1050556

And yesterday, I think I just exceed my calories intake limit.

Fountain with fresh melted chocolate dripping. Strawberries, bananas, waffle, marshmellows… Oh dear Grinch, you sure know how to throw a Raya party.

P1050563


And that’s not all. You can not miss out Arab-Families’s annual Raya party as well! Its not just buffet tables… but stalls, not just your average oriental food but, hawker stalls with kebabs, dim sums, Mongolian BBQ, ABCs (Cendols) and ICE CREAMS!!!!



Haaaaaaaa……………….

*rub tummy*

Updating, for the sake of updating


Mm…. what should I say?

Okay, my week has really been unproductive in a productive way. LOL! Does it even make sense? What else ah? I do have things to update in Spirithrift but I don’t know what has got up to me (lazy bug probably), I just feel like slacking the wholeeeeeeeeeeeeeee day, roaming around aimlessly around the house, lying on the bed channel surfing, reading the achieves of Lamebook (yes, I prefer it more than FML because got images. Hahhaha. Very visual~)

Anyway, Cheezbox’s Sungkai Buffet is good!

No pictures of it because I’m a bad blogger.

Me: Oh Shoot! I left my camera at home!
Atul: Me too.
Tina: You and you! Bad bloggers.

*took over Tina’s LX3 and snapped away… for 10 seconds*

Me: Ahhhh…. couldn’t be bothered. I wanna enjoy my food now!
Me: *nom nom nom nom nom nom*

See? Can tell right? Malas brabis!






Actually, I do have a certain topic going on in my head…

I’ve been thinking, you know, sometimes your friend will tell you something bad about this certain person, but you feel otherwise.

Or, you’ve been receiving positive comments about someone. Sekali, meeting the someone in person, it’s a whole different feeling.

So, do you trust the “common remarks” or your sixth sense?

I just hate the whole “I TOLD YOU SO”.


Bah, gtg, Astro on Demand is the bomb!

My take on Sungkai Buffets

 

Four words,
Eating and spending more.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I don’t like sungkai buffets. As a matter of fact, I adore them! So many choices, fit for greedy pigs like me who go for options instead of quantity.

It’s just that, I realized… After few rounds of sungkai buffets with friends, I’m actually spending way “ahead” of my budget.

Sungkai buffets start at around price of $9.90 per head and way up to $50 for those premium restaurants. Ever since I finished my D.I.E course in UBD, I think I spend less than $30 a month on food. Biasalah… 3 meals also eat at home, if go out paktoh paktoh either go dutch or Bobby belanja also. What also won’t exceed $50 one lah.

Not only did I spent more, I also feel that I’ve put extra weight because of my kiasuness. You know, the whole point of ,

“Wah lao eh.. lao-niang spent $20 eating this meal. Must die die eat back the money don’t rugi man”

Hahhahaa. No lah, people who ever go on sungkai buffet with me knows that I’m not that scary lah. My maximum intake is 2 rounds. That’s it. Avoiding rice and fried noodles most of the time.

Ghost also know eat too much outside food not healthy lah. Plus this one, unlimited supply with all those greasy, salty, sweet and spicy goodness lagi. How to say no wor?


Humphhh!!!
The sungkai buffet at Cheezbox tomorrow with the Girly Bloggers is going to be my last sungkai buffet! Just let me enjoy it first lah!

And, Bobby just came up with the craziest idea for our upcoming weekend plan.

People Saturday night go clubbing and drinking, my boyfriend and I tabalik, we’re just going to order a KFC bucket, watch movies and eat our heart out! HAHAHHAHAAA.


Long live my liver, gastric, heart and fats around my waist, thighs and bum!

ARGH!!! STUPID STUPID STUPID!

 
The title original for this post was “BLOODY HELL!”, but I thought… it’s not that nice. Oh whatever, I’m just trying to tell you that I’m really really really mad!!!

!!!!


So it was like this. After school, I planned to meet up with Vikki at Soon Lee to pass her the item she wanted from Spirithrift and so I drove there. It was 12+ pm and the traffic was bad as everyone was trying to get parking.

I thought I was quite lucky when I saw a car putting reverse light and about to get off the parking and the red car in front of me was already half way past the car. Hence, I put on the signal light with a glimpse of happiness in my heart.

 


1


And guess what. Once the stupid red car in front of me saw the reverse light, without hesitating, the driver reversed his car with full speed!!!! I was shocked and kept honking hoping that he would stop.

Of course, you smart readers out there have guessed correctly what happened next.

 

2


Yup. The bloody red Suzuki Vitara hit my car.


Then, came down a Gurkha man.
I don’t mean to stereotype but, my my, why am I not surprise….

(Seriously! They’re like the ultimate road killing machine on the loose! When I told my friends about it, they start telling me that they also nearly or ever kana accidents caused by the Gurkhas. )

I went down my car too and couldn’t help but scolded that man,

“OMG! ARE YOU BLIND OR ARE YOU DEAF?! I KEPT HONKING YOU ALREADY!!!”

And expectedly, that man claimed that “he did not see my car”.
How very convenient.

I checked the damage of my car and it’s not severe. But still there’s some cracks and the bonnet fit seemed “lari alignment” and the bumper is like “pushed in”.

Not wanting to make a scene in the middle of the road, I parked my car aside and he too.

I took out my camera and started taking pictures, looked for witnesses around me if necessary. I’m really really lucky that I had my first job working in a workshop and I know what to do when accident happens. Plus, with my personality, I don’t panic or get frightened not knowing what to do especially when it’s obviously not my fault.

I showed that bugger (okay, I know I’m using more and more offensive words but I can’t help it!) the damages of my car and guess what, he replied…

”I don’t see any damage at all”

Oh. My. Buddha! Someone please take a gun and shoot him please.

I already sibeh hot liao mou-tin-tin kana hit, some more under the hot hot sun lagi, then he said something like that, really HOT ah!

Because he’s driving a Vitara, it was his tyre which kana my bumper so the damage was actually minimized.

But still….. HE BLIND ONE KAH!


I showed him this,

P1050244

(Can see those little little scratches right?)

this,

P1050253   

(The gap so freaking big leh!!!!)

and this,

P1050250

(obviously, the bumper macam “pushed in” kan?)


HE HAD THE CHEEK TO SAY THERE’S NO DAMAGE AT ALL!!!!
HE SAID ORIGINAL LIKE THAT ONE!
HAND ME THE AK47 NOW PLEASE.
DON’T STOP ME.

 

I called up my ex-boss, a beloved uncle whom I already mafan-ed him a lot back in the days and this time really ah… 无事不登三宝殿.. really is me this kind of people liao. I told him what happened and he responded with a “nevermind lah” attitude… He said I can just repair at the workshop f.o.c but I don’t want bah… Ming-ming not my fault, ming-ming that Gurkha’s fault, I die die want him to pay for it!

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS FREE LUNCH OKAY!

Then, uncle said whatever the Gurkha can pay then pay lor, he covers the rest. Haiyah! Really don’t know say I lucky or unlucky ah.

I told the bugger about the estimate repair cost and he still insisted that there’s no damage done!

Beh tahan and I went on and on nagging and scolding him….

“Hey. Look here. I’m not trying to be unreasonable here. Obviously this is your fault and my car is not what you termed as “original like that”. It’s not that I don’t have the money to pay for it, but this is ridiculous! You did something wrong and you think you can just walk away like that?! OMG! This is so unfair! You’re unbelievable! This is crazy. You must be blind man! How can you say that there’s no damage! You hit my car and there’s a loud bang! Sure my car looks okay, but LOOK HERE!!! THIS IS WHAT YOU DID TO MY CAR! ”

And I went on and on like a scratched disc, repeating it over and over again.

Eh, very good liao okay. I did not insult, or said any racist terms or use any bad words. ALL DECENT WORDS!

He dared me to call the cops and so I did. You think I scare you ah! He claimed that there’s no witness and oh no, he’s so damn wrong, “NO WITNESS? ARE YOU SURE? I HONKED SO LOUD JUSTNOW AND ALL THE STAFFS WORKING IN THAT RESTAURANT HEARD ME AND SAW EVERYTHING! I CAN ASK THEM TO BE MY WITNESS! NOW!”

While waiting for the police to come, I went on and on nagging. Called Vikki (whom I was supposed to meet) and told her what happened. She was really kind and came over and helped me out in the situation. Hah!!

In the end, that bugger went back to his car, and asked his wife to negotiate with me about the compensation. His wife apologized and said that he’s very angry, the kids were crying, yadda yadda yadda… What? My problem meh that his EQ so low?  

Finally, after about 10 minutes of talking to the wife, the case was settled and damn, I’m still not happy about it!

Lucky school holiday is about to start and I can send my car for repair this Monday. Also, I should consider myself lucky because it was his spare tyre that hit my car. If bumper to bumper sure more teruk.


Anyway,

P1050248

BEWARE OF THIS CAR ON THE ROAD! DON’T YOU DARE COMPETE WITH HIM FOR PARKING SPACE EVENTHOUGH IT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS!
