My Appearl, My Macbook

Am I unlucky or am I unlucky? My 3 month old white Macbook, ApPearl died on me just now. I think the battery kaputed liao because I couldn't switch on the lappie although it has been fully charged last night. This is SOOOOOOOO not good! Why me??? Actually, it died on me two nights ago when I was happily chatting online. I thought the battery no more juice, so what else, charge it lah. Then just now when I wanted to switch it on, it refused to start up. Very TNS!!! I want my money backkkk!!! Luckily I brought along the charger... I'm now at a Starbucks. Moral of the story, don't leave your lappie charger at home ;)

My Youngest Friend From Blogland

Short Yak: So, how is this new template looking?? Why have I crossed over to the Bright Side? Because lin peh ka wa kong, "Aiyoh, difficult to read your blog laa..."

And just now, I found this funny message on my Yahoo Messenger. Message has been edited here and there but those who are sampat will understand... Those who don't understand, sorries lor...

miss!! who say i dun miss you wor? I miss you like the flies miss the shit.........I miss you like the vulture miss the carcass............i miss you like XXX miss her step (ooops!) ........i miss you like mr crappy miss ah xxxx. Muahahahahahaha!!!



It has been a crazy week! So many things to do in so little time... BUT, the best thing of all is, we can still Make Time
to do other things that we wanna do, like going for The King & I on a weekday night. My verdict, love it, love it, love it! On top of that, it was also because of my Partner-in-Crime who made the outing, fun. Like the last time, giggles were exchanged before, in-between & after the show.

Another highlight of the week was my meet-up with Lil' Misha, the youngest hip-hop-happening-future-supermodel from the blog! Anyone who meets her will surely be smitten... Thank you for the chocolates, Misha! And also thank you to Misha's Pwetty Mummy, the chaperon of the night, for the dinner...

What can I say about her? The picture says it all...

Toe Woe


P1120448

This happened to my toe earlier today. I didn't know how or when it happened. Was very busy at work but at some point of time, I did notice that my toe was in pain but didn't check it out until I came back at about midnight just now. I was shocked to see this! Didn't even know that it was bleeding earlier today! I didn't know what to do, so I just cut the nails a bit bit and then summore can varnish it... Shucks... how to go jalan-jalan like this?? Crap...

Speaking of work, I found this blog where you can send in your hate tales about your boss! The blog owner hates his blog boss so much that he has started a blog and is inviting everyone to send in tales about your boss from Hell. You know lah, we as professionals shouldn't rant/scold/bitch/curse about our bosses in our own blogs... very dangerous... but sometimes cannot tahan. So, this is the chance let off steam, anonymously, of course... The blog is cipetboss.blogspot.com.

Okay, I need to sleep now. Have a good weekend!

Awards-Birthday-C-Drive Of Life

Short Yak: Does anyone have any remedies for cough with phlegm? I've been coughing like a TB patient... sienz...


rockingirl


Last Wednesday, Ms. Anonymous handed me this Rockin' Girl Blogger award. I was quite 'shy' to accept this award from her because I have not been reading her regularly. Nevertheless, since I 'rock', I'll accept it graciously from this nice Ipoh lady. (You are from Ipoh, right??) And now, I'm supposed to award it to five female bloggers.

This is not gonna be easy because I think a lot of the ladies in my blogroll, rock. So, who am I gonna pick?
It's difficult to choose but I see quite a few of you have been awarded this 'title', so, it's a bit easier than a few days ago *grins*.

Rockin' Girl Blogger Award Recipients:
1) Misha - The Youngest Future Supermodel from HK *applause applause*
2) Chen - My Sampat Partner
3) Misti - My Getting-More-Sampat Partner
4) Winn - My Sampat-est Partner
5) Huei - She's been very supportive and comments in almost all my entries ever since I met her... thanks, ah huei!


Schmooze

And just a while ago, Hot Momma Eastcoastlife awarded me with this Power of Schmooze Award. What is Schmooze? According to my reference, to schmooze means
"to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection."

I feel guilty about giving this award because there are so many of you I wanna give... But I'm only supposed to choose 5 recipients but I don't want to disappoint anyone... How now, brown cow?

Luckily I'm not stupid and I'm sensitive & fair. I wrote all your names (minus those up here and those whom have already been awarded) on a piece of paper, then I closed my eyes, use my pen and simply point on the paper, each time turning the paper a few times on the table, and here are the names I "pointed".

Power of Schmooze Award recipients:
1) narrowband
2) bibiknyonya
3) mozilla monster
4) aiyah nonya
5) king's wife

To those who didn't get "pointed", I'll just smooch you when I see you lah, can?? So, all the 10 recipients, kindly give out the award to 5 more recipients in your blog, okay? Thanks!



kyh_cake_170707

Today, 170707, is a special day... because it's my Brad's
kyh's birthday! Unfortunately, he's up north, without Internet access... poor soul... nevertheless, here's wishing you a V e R y H a P p Y b I r T h D a Y !



drive_of_life_poster

Finally, I just watched the first episode of the latest Hong Kong drama series, Drive of Life, on Channel 931, Astro On Demand channel. It's pretty interesting, I'd say. I'm sure you must have seen the heavy promotion going on Astro's TV channels. Why is this series gonna be a big hit? Because according to wikipedia, it's specially filmed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's handover to China from the British Empire worrr... It's a joint production by TVB and CCTV, and aired concurrently in Hong Kong, which means that from Mon-Fri at 9.30pm, we are watching the same episode with the Hong Kong residents.

To watch all 60 episodes of this series, gotta fork out about RM50++. If don't wish to pay extra, you can opt to wait... prolly after 1 year plus, before it comes on Wah Lai Toi, Channel 30. If don't want to pay at all, then have to wait longer, prolly 2-3 years, before it's aired on the terrestrial TV stations. The choice is yours. Gee... this sounded like a Sponsored Post! No way!!!

Anyway, good day, folks!

Animals Animals Animals


Weekend is here again. I've been busy, I've been ill but time and tide wait for no man... I'm here just for a short update. This entry was not planned but I thought I wanna ask you a fun question since it's Flyday! If you could an animal, what would you like to be? He asked this question and I said, I couldn't decide. Either I wanna be a bird (cos can flyyyy) or Paris Hilton's b*tch, Tinkerbell, the chihuahua. He thought I was gonna say 'cheetah'.



Cheetah? Reminds me of Cheetara from Thundercats... hoooooooooooohhh!!!



Hmmm.... not bad, huh? So now I ask you lah... what animal would you be? And why? Have a great weekend!

Voltron 2008, A Tag & My Brand

Haa... so many things to talk about in this entry.

Currently, the craze is on Transformers the movie. Today, Die Hard 4.0 opens in Malaysia. Not sure if I'll have the time to catch it but that's not what I want to talk today.

The other night, I was telling Sis about Transformers the movie and how awesome it was, then she jolted my memory about another cartoon. Yes, Voltron! She said that she liked Voltron better.

I remember Voltron. Defender of the Universe... don't play-play... So I came home and Googled Voltron in IMDB and OMG, they are planning the production of the movie in 2008.
Voltron 2008, script/screenplay by Justin Marks. You can find a review of the script here. The reviewer said that it might give Transformers a run for their $$$. DYK that in 1984, there was a series Voltron: Defender of the Universe and Peter Cullen [currently the voice for Optimus Prime] lent his voice for King Alfor/Commander Hawkins/Coran/Narrator. This man's voice is... so macho...

Anyway, here's a video to bring back the retro memories of the five Lions! Woohoo! Check out their Sword! :p




Next, Simple American tagged me. Something about Fours. Can't remember if I had done it before but I'll do it today to let you know me a teeny weeny bit better.

Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Waitress at Dolphin's Coffee House
2. Bank Clerk at OUB
3. Cashier at Yaohan Penang
4. Temporary teacher in a primary school

Four places I have lived:

2. Bangkok

Four of my favorite foods:

3. Sleeping over at ahmay's place in Sydney

u.lee's place in Toronto

Four friends to tag:

Last but not least, about My Brand. Bryan wrote something about branding here. I asked him to 'brand' me and this was what he said, "Me brand u? Umm from yr blog are u seem to be someone famous but the reason not so clear yet. Why dun u ask your regular commentors what you remind them of then that’s your brand lor..." I told him that I'm not famous. I can't write bombastically. I don't wish to be famous because Albert Einstein once said, "It's strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely." *shakes head* I dowan liddat wan...

So, what's My Brand, huh? What do I remind you of?

ps: Sporadic updates in the next couple of weeks. Busy like Bumblebee...

THHC™ Chapter 14 - Let's Spoon! JomPeluk!©


Last Friday, chen & eastcoastlife shared pictures with the theme "Sweet" for their weekly PhotoHunt entry. So today, I also want to entice you with some sweet sweet chocolatey desserty pics. Above is the famous Chocolate Fountain (biggest in KL, maybe?) found at Lemon Grass Garden Cafe in Shangrila Hotel, KL. (Are you drooling already? *brings napkins*)

(Sorry, wrong name liao... should be Lemon Garden Cafe, not Lemon Grass!)



Eastcoastlife said that she'll take me to Raffle City's dessert buffet if I went to Singapore. Anyone else joining? *grins*


In a blink of an eye, we have entered the second half of 2007. And this July, a few of our friends entered into a new phase in their lives. Master kyh is off to start his university life in USM... Master narrowband will take his first steps into what zewt called, The Modern Slave World.

So, what are your plans for the second half of the year? Time and tide waits for no man. (If only we could do a Hiro Nakamura...) Don't worry, be happy? Those two phrases don't seem to go hand in hand, do they? Before we know it, it'll be festival time again... Hari Raya, Deepavali, Christmas, New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai and the cycle repeats. (Hey, I remember writing something along these lines not too long ago... hmmm... am I repeating myself too?? Geee, what a vicious cycle!)

Oh well, deal with it when we come to the bridge? But the bridge IS here everyday... Lost me? Nevermind... Here's the result of June 2007's The Hug Hug Club. What's THHC? The President's entry, here.

Before I go for some retail therapy, enjoy this song that's now currently singing in my mind ever since I watched a programme on her 2 days ago, by Jessica Simpson, I Wanna Love You Forever (unplugged). I wanna croon like her...




You set my soul at ease
Chased darkness out of view
Left your desperate spell on me
Say you feel it too, I know you do
I've got so much more to give
This can't die, I yearn to live
Pour yourself all over me
And I'll cherish every drop here on my knees

Chorus:
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Coz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever

My mind fails to understand
What my heart tells me to do
And I'd give up all I have just to be with you
And that would do
I've always been taught to win
And I never thought I'd fall
Be at the mercy of a man,I've never been
Now I only want to be right where you are

Chorus
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Coz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I'm gonna love you forever

In my life I've learned that heaven never waits, no....
Let's take this now before it's gone like yesterday
Coz when I'm with you there's nowhere else
That I would ever wanna be, no....
I'm breathing for the next second I can feel you
Loving me... I'm gonna Love

Chorus
I wanna love you forever
And this is all I'm asking of you
10,000 lifetimes together
Is that so much for you to do
Coz from the moment that I saw your face
and felt the fire of your sweet embrace
I swear I knew
I wanna love you forever



Transformers the movie is a w e s o m e !
And Josh Duhamel is hawt hawt hawt!!
