In Loving Memory...

...of Nyonyapenang's brother, Tom (23 July 1940 - 13 March 2007)
May he rest in peace...

Last night, there was a small bloggers' meet up at Subang Parade. We went to meet up with Wennnn for the first time, and her Jon, together with Penny, her aunt whom she calls "mummy". The rest of the attendees were Laundryamah, Sasha & baby Jayden, Aceone, Kenny, Nyonyapenang & Winn.

First, it was dinner at Esquire Kitchen Restaurant, followed by dessert at Swensens. Wennnn became the Santa Rina as she had gifts for all of us. Me, I got an Angel's Notebook & a Superstar Keychain. Thanks, Wennnn! It was nice meeting you, Jon & Penny!

To all the Taggers who have diligently been tagging me (almost everyday!), thanks for all the love you have showered, I'll need time to answer them... My mind has been very tired lately...

Together Gather Bloggers' Party 2007 - 9th March 2007

Naaaaa!!! Since my leng-leng pic is ALL over the Internet now, I might as well post it up here also! Grrrr!!! (Picture courtesy of Cocka Doodle.) kyh, you wanna see how angie looks like, come to KL! *wink*

I shall not do any reviews but if you wanna read any, just head here. I went thru' almost all the entries about the Together Gather Party 2007 to see if my pretty pic is posted anywhere. Luckily only appear in the group photo, which I'm sure those who know me will be able to spot me quite easily. Anyway, the reviews were compiled by someone, dunno who he is... For me, I just want to thank the Organising Committee for their time & effort in putting up this mega meet.

And also to note down a few 'new' people we (me, CP1, Cocka, King's Wife & Zeroimpact) met that night. At our table, we met Golfnick & his "site-admin" (Both really farnie guys! You might wanna check 'em out if you are into golf... Moz?), flsam & Kenny Lee. I also shook hands with two famous-amos bloggers, ahpek & minishorts. And, not forgetting two macho guys whom I knew from their blogs and only met them face to face that night, sotongking & zewt. Nice meeting everyone!

Oh yeah, a minor 'mishap' happened to yours truly that night. After about 20 minutes after sitting down at Table No. 7 in Skyroom, Federal Hotel, guess what happened? My shoe (espadrille) went koyak!!! (I wore the shoes less than 10x, only okay..) OMG! It was a nightmare! How did my shoe koyak? I don't have a pic now, I'll remember to take a pic of it later because it's still in the car...

What did I do? I needed to find a stapler to staple it so that I could at least staple it and wear it to the carpark to get another pair of shoes. I then called 'my hero', asked him if he could find a stapler for me but he couldn't find one. So, I just walked barefooted to the lift.

Along my way, everyone asked me what happened etc. but I was very lucky because when I reached the reception area, Shireen & Janice saw what happened and Janice said that she'll lend me her slippers. Phew! I didn't have to walk barefooted after that. Bumped into King's Wife & Cocka at the reception area and King's Wife was so kind to accompany me to the car to get my other pair of espadrilles. (Guys, now you know why we women need more than 3 pairs of shoes!)

I was very upset because that pair of koyak-ed shoes matched my dress 100%. But what to do... So, it was not a very auspicious way to start the Friday night.

Nevertheless, the bloggers' party went on until 11pm and after that, it was Crooning Session at Low Yat Plaza's Redbox Karaoke. Only 4 of us went and 3 of us left around 3am. How's that for a Friday night party? *wink* And now, it's already Monday... *groans* Have a good one, anyhow!

On This Day, Many Years Ago...

...a baby Apple was born.

Angel on a cake...

both his hands with his camera; his right hand holding ciggie hiao-hiaoly...

Wish we could get these for his birthday...

But since it's quite impossible to present the Real Things to him, what's the next best gift to The Chairman/Founder of The Hug Hug Club™? Nah, L B, don't say I dun lup you ohhh... I tried so many times to get the right angle, the right lip colour, the right shine, the right Angie-like pout. I hope Brad doesn't get too jealous. *I still ♥ Brad*

Two Birthday Muaks for the Birthday Boy!
Who else wanna Kiss of Life??

Last but not least, hope this angel cake find its way

Tears.Tremor.Tagged

Two days ago, I received an e-mail from Eve which made me very sad. She has been diagnosed of having lupus, an autoimmune (means the immune system fights the body itself instead of protecting it) disease in which the immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal tissues. Last August, her mother passed away, due to lupus. So, it could be hereditary in Eve's case. A few years ago, a young cousin of mine (in her 20's) also passed on due to this illness. Up until now, there is no cure for lupus, only treatment. But still.....

Nope, I wasn't in tears when I received Eve's e-mail. Instead, I think I was in denial for half a day. I was in a daze. I was confused about my own emotions. I wasn't sure if I was was sad, upset or angry. My spirits were dampened... The tears only came in the evening as I was talking to my mom over the phone about Eve... I didn't know what happened then... That was two days ago, 5th March.

Yesterday, 6th March, a few minutes before noon, I suddenly felt that my chair was shaking. I looked at the arm-rest, gosh, it was shaking too! But when I tried to see if my colleague felt what I felt, she didn't turn to me at all, she was working very hard on the computer. A lot of things came to mind at that time, and right after that, I felt giddy. So, I asked her if she felt anything. She said she did. Alamak... so, I wasn't hallucinating or dreaming. I even thought that maybe there was a big lorry/trailer passing by the building.

The tremor was due to an earthquake that hit Sumatra. And I felt the tremor again a few minutes before 2pm. This time, I knew it wasn't X-Files related...

And the finale... You know, for the past few days, everyday also I kena tagged! Gosh... I told a few of them that I think I'm gonna be spending my "blogging life" answering tags! I think I have about 5-6 tags to do! Very FKK! BUT, I suppose tagging is loving... so, to reciprocate, I'll answer the tags.

kyh & monk[t]icon wanted to see how my Desktop looks like. Nah...

My desktop for the past 3 years.
I like 'convenience', hence the clutter on my desktop.
BUT... a new one is coming soon...
I'll show off to you one fine day...
*fingers & toes crossed*

Five First Time©

Sometime in January, the Doctor tagged a number of us with her own My First Time tag. I'm supposed to list out five First Time© of my Life. So, expecting something 18PG?? Nah!! Oh, before that, a Very Happy Birthday to Simple American! Thanks to may for announcing it in her blog. *grin* May you have a great one, SA! *hugs*

A Texan Star spotted in London *wink*

Okay, getting on with the First Time© tag...

This CNY is the First Time© I did not have Reunion Dinner with my immediate family, only with mom & some extended family members. It is also the First Time© I did not go back home-sweet-home. I missed mom's yummy CNY dishes...

This is the First Time© I spent CNY in KL. And on the first day of CNY, it was the First Time© I saw sooooo many aliens foreigners congregating around Pudu/Kota Raya area. They were just standing there, doing nothing! Well, okay, they could be doin' people/car watching... Scary like hell!


Sometime last year, he asked his friend to fly this (pic below) from Kuching, just for me. That was the First Time© I had kueh ciap from Kuching. *touched*

Doesn't look too attractive to you? But it tasted yummm!!!
If you'd like to know what it is,
here, check out the Doc's entry and for a clearer picture too.

Sometime last December, he sent a parcel to moi. This is the First Time© I received a package from Texas, USA. *happies*


Sometime last month (February 07), she sent a card to me. This is the First Time© I received a personalised card, made specially for me by her. *sweet*

Yesterday was my First Time© trying flower tea aka blooming tea aka flowering tea. The waitress said that the flower is carnation (?!). The process of the flower bud 'blooming' in hot water is rather interesting. It looked like it was blooming slow-mo...

Carnation flower tea? Oh, this glass of tea
was given FOC because of CNY and they named it Gong Xi Fa Cai...

Okay, I think I've exceeded my First Time© stories... AND NOW... to tag the people I love soooooo much!

• allykins & star-dust (2 pretty dolls!)
• wennnn (1 cute chef!)
• mozilla monster (1 errr... monsta!)
• kyh (my Brad Pitt... KKKKKKKKKK!)

There you go! Thank you for the tag and for tagging me!

DYK that there are special carpark spaces (the underground carpark, I mean) near all entrances at Cineleisure Damansara just for Single Female Drivers? I'm impressed! But of course, Malaysians being Malaysians, I reckon that most of the spaces must be taken up by Non-single or Non-female drivers... you thinks?
