growing up. most girls i know had an extensive list of 'criteria's' they wanted in a man they were to marry. which girl has not had numerous discussions with their girlfriends about how they want their guy to be
1. Rich- mandatory criteria this one
2. Handsome- another major point here
3. Must be a prince and/or an actor and/or an heir to a major company, hotel, business or all that i have mentioned.
4. Romantic
5. MUST be a gentleman
6. Generous and caring- by generous i mean buying me gifts every other day, or everyday im not picky
Thats all i can pull so far off the top of my head. But the problem with setting criteria's are that we set the bar so high up, most of us will never meet anybody who meets all that. Sure we'll meet that guy who is as romantic as Heidi Klum's husband Seal and good looking to boot but of course he's a casanova so be prepared to share him with a slew of girls.
The gentleman who opens doors for us and pulls out our chairs are unfortunately shorter then us. And princes, heirs and actors never even look our way.
As for the shower of gifts. I guess practicality applies. Unless ur marrying the list of people with titles above, i doubt you'd be showered with gifts on a daily basis eyh? JJ called me from adelaide 2 weeks back all excited! he was telling me that he got me sumtin. my ears perked up like a kangaroo imagining handbags or well... a pot. thr's this pot which i was eyeing but even at the outlet store its like 1500 MYR. his voice was all cute and excited and he went-
"i bought u... plastic bags!!!"
"you can marinade chicken in it and bake it IN THE BAG!! like throw it in the oven along with the bag!!
"how awesome is that!!"
*crickets chirping*
i laughed my a** off!! here i was imagining designer handbags and expensive le crueset pots and he was so excited in an almost childish way about this plastic bag it was soooo cute!!!
he's arriving tonight for a short break and i cannot wait to see him!! i cant pick him up at the airport unfortunately coz im reading tonite. so i'll see him tomorrow and i will def bake him that chicken in the bag.
he is most def not the romantic kind either but he surprises me sumtimes. and i prefer this arrangement to the romantic all the time kind of guy who can be rather suffocating at times if u ask me. with him, since its so scarce, it becomes really meaningful.
i guess the man im marrying does not meet my childhood list of criteria but i believe in this phrase i once heard.
when two people are crazy in love, they dont sweat the small stuff

Food overload...
2 weekends back, JJ and i went to visit his grandma at the hospital. she had fallen and broke her shoulder in 3 places. such a pity. u kno how long it takes bones to heal... esp so in older people... so since we were in the kajang area, i wanted to go to pla dib for lunch. i had read about it on blogs raving about the menu which was a wonderful balance of old fashion thai cuisine with a dash of modernity. u'll find things like fish ceviche and squid ink fried rice on the menu. i was pumped! i tried to look it up on the gps and nothing came up. i got hold of the number and it was out of service. determined, we made our way to the heritage village anyway. silently hoping for a miracle.
it was beyond hot that day.. as it has been for the past week, which did nothing to brighten my mood. and to make matters worse, the restaurant did close down. All we saw were the signage and a note pasted on the door saying they had closed down and will re-open indefinitely. INDEFINITELY...ckp je la tutup forever...i was crushed!! sedih giler!! we had come all this way and i was already mentaly ordering all the things i wanted to try.. but it was already wayy past lunch time and we hadnt eaten yet so we trudged to the nearest place we saw, a persian rest wich was devoid of people which to me meant mediocre food.
i wasnt entirely wrong. the food was just ok. when i asked for a recommendation all the waiter suggested was the lamb kebab. jj had already asked for that so i wanted sumtin else. when i asked for another recommendation, he gave me the same one. i think they were out of everything else on the menu. i settled for the beef lamb kebab coz everything else seemed to have beans in it. im not a fan of beans in savoury dishes so i skipped that.
food was just ok, a little light on the spices which wasnt very middle eastern-ish as they're normaly pretty liberal with their spices. kebab's were served with plain white rice, albeit fluffy rice sprinkled with saffron rice. and when i asked for dessert he told me they were out of it. they had 3 items listed in the desserts section and they were out of all of it. at the end of my meal however, i saw the caucasion gentlemen next to me nursing a dish of ice cream. it was pretty upsetting but i didnt feel like making a fuss, esp when i saw the dessert looked like plain chocolate n vanilla ice cream.
then i remembered that i've been wanting to try this mille crepe cake forever!! i read it on a few blogs and a mari sed it was to die forr!! a few taps on the gps and we were on our way!! it was a little tricky to find but we manage to locate it and sat down to omg the bestest dessert cake ever!!!
i love layered desserts!! esp such a delicate one!! its basically tissue thin crepes layered with custard creme. its so delicate and intricate and looked like it needed a lot of patience to do! sumtin im lacking in. and it was basically heaven on a dessert fork! we ordered vanilla and fell in love. then we ordered mango. on another visit we tried strawberry and both agreed that vanilla is still the best flavour. i loveeeeeee to sit and stare at the beautiful layers and savour the delicate thin-ness of the crepe on my tongue. sedap gilerr!!
if you're ever near pj. do drop by ok. but try not to do so on a hot hot hottt day as the rest does not have aircond. on a hot hot afternoon, with the fan spinning lazily above, i was transported back to my school days. felt like those days, after waktu rehat when it was burning hot and the fans offered little comfort, spinning hot air around us. but the mille cakes make it all worth it!! go ok!

Will & Kate plus 6 billion
omg so who did not watch the royal wedding!? some ppl are going all 'kate who? married prince watshisface?' i am gonnna be honest and say that i have been waiting for this day a long long looooooooooong time. well i was initially hoping i would be the one saying i do to prince watshisface but life's not fair like that and i moved on (sort of). i made my dad bring me back some wedding souvenir when he went to london. he got me a mug!! yes yes im obsessed get over it!! i actually worked from home on friday so i wouldnt miss a second of the wedding. i was parked with my laptop on my bed with the tv channel alternating between E news and ntv7 which broadcasted the entire thing live. i gotta say... ntv7's commentation was boring and lacklustre.
my mom who was in bandung at the time said the channels there provided a much deeper insight and was bragging to me that she knew the dress maker had to change the needle every 3 hours while making kate's dress coz she wanted each poke to be precise and needed a sharp needle.
it was a lovely wedding. and to all those ppl who called me during the course of it. pls go play in traffic. seriously. this is history in the making and ur calling me to ask whr i do my waxing. *gives dirty look to ayien* i was so anal about catching the whole thing i got upset when ppl barge in to my room to tell me sumtin. i mean seriously. i watched the 'i will' part w papa who was going on n on n onnnn about how she was
and the dress!! oh myy!!some people scoff and say its too simple and unfit for a royal wedding. i say it looks perfect on her. she's not the kind who would choose to wear a 26 feet long train. i mean imagine the weight!? i believe she's the sensible type and i applaud her for it. yesterday mama was showing me the material she got for my wedding and i saw a piece and asked what is this? she went 'oh dat was supp to be ur veil but kate's wasnt this material' and threw the thing. 'were getting a new one, like kate's'. i love her. my mom. not kate.
and i am still amazed that she chose to do her own make up!! im having a small wedding and im anal about having my make up done perfectly. nightmares and all. and she's got 6 billion people watching her and she chose to do her own makeup!!! amazing!!!
kate truly is one of a kind, i hope she doesnt let all the mean comments get to her. i heard william had to hold a press conference to ask the media to give them some breathing space coz all the negative comments were starting to get to kate and she even turned bulimic at one point after news of her getting fat were abuzz. fat!??? herr!?! that wud make me obese.
i wihs them a long happy life together and i cannot wait for her to pop little royals soon!!

homecoming
So in one of my last post i rambled about how jj was gonna leave me for a long time. turns out 'long time' wasnt THAT long. well it feels like forever. but a shorter forever compared to the inital scary forever.ok fine its just 6 days compared to 4 months. im a happy pixie. i swear la klu 4 months i pon will go n berkampung thr. i love this arrangement where he will go for a couple of days at a time on and off for the duration of 4 months. i know he really appreciates it too. the day he arrived he moaned on n on n onnnnn about how boring it was there and how he cannot wait to come home.
of course i relished hearing him sound so bored. hehe. yes yes im selfish like that. coz i reasoned, if he had fun there, he wouldnt remember me as much hence he will forget to call, buy stuff for me, n not miss me. no no. wont have none of that. n he's coming home soon! i soo cant wait!!
~he's coming home... coming home... tell the world he's coming homeee~
gonna go pick him up from the airport and be all sappy mcm dia xbalik dah 16 tahun

Pukul kang!?!
So jj will be leaving town in a couple of days. his company is sending him sumwhere for a period of time which im not very happy about. but i guess i should be thankful they picked him. rezeki nk kawen org kate. and i am thankful!- for him. im just really bummed out for me. they gave him a rather short notice considering the fact that he would be there for a considerable amount of time. of course he wud need time to gather his things n pack up. but nope. no off days to do that. and guess wat? do it during weekends? out the window! coz guess wat!? he's got to work thru weekends as well!?! so ive been mentally imagining his company as a person, and in my head, ive hit it with a rock, ran over it with a steamroller and pushed it off various cliffs countless times.
and seeing as to how he's leaving so soon, weve been scrambling to go out everynight amidst my tight schedule of readings and tuitions and whatnots. we had to go to all the restaurants we (i) wanted to try and catch all the movies we (i) wanted to watch before he left. and the day before yesterday we went to snowflakes in kota damansara and i fell in love. then lastnite we went to honeymoon cafe and it was just ok ok la. bt snowflakes was fantabulous! i have a knack for desserts and all things new n weird especially wen it comes to food. i wanna try em all!!!
im so glad im not reading this weekend so were can spend more time before he leaves. we wud be able to go out more had it not been for his company *pushes company into heavy traffic*. but i guess we'll have to make do. were going to his parents for his brothers birthday and their place is right before the F1 circuit. i wan to cry imagining the traffic.
ive been going into clingy gf mode which i hate but i cant help it. ill be fine (i hope) once everything is sorted out n i wave him off at the airport. ill be down in d dumps for a while and will probably burrow a hole in which i would curl in every date nite and wallow in self pity.
SNAP OUT OF IT WOMAN!!! ill b fine!!! of course!! n evryday i'll spend a fewhours minutes each day imagining the things he's buying to bring back for me.
*punches company smack dab in the face just because*

old but gold
Sumtimes i feel like we're such a predicatable couple... like an old married couple who routinely do the same thing week in week out... my feelings were confirmed this morning when my dad asked me as i was leaving for work.
papa- so going out for a movie tonite?
me- yeah! howd u know!?
papa- isnt wed ur movie nite?
me- are we that transparent!?
but i guess he wud remember coz evrytime i stay out late, sabrina wud crash with my parents since im not around. which equals to her hogging the bed and result in grandpapa sleeping on the futon on the floor.
anyhoo! i cant wait for tonite! dinner and a movie. n i dont care if were predicatable. i like it! n i like routines. n sure some people wud say im boring but im not! im just not a fan of the clubbing nightlife scene.. i get real grumpy wen im sleepy and tired n thrs loud music n ciggarete smoke n d sour smell of beer makes me wanna barf. n i especailly hate it when i come out n my hair smells smokey n stale.. like old cigarette butts. i love outdoor activities! just a couple of weeks ago we went on the ATV. n i was the only girl in d group. i wud put up pictures if i didnt look like a hippo in all of them. but i do. so yea.

Chicken with mushrooms and cream
ish this blogspot moodswings blowing hot n cold really irks me out. kjap2 ok kjp2 tak. kjap2 ticker kt atas kjp2 ticket kt bwh kjp2 ticker hilang terus. dont even get me started on the layout thats all over the place!! haih!
anyways! i cannot wait to get home today!! i have been wanting to make this chicken with mushroom and cream for-EVER but always seem to forget! wen i remember to buy fresh button mushrooms, i forget about the dish and make sauteed mushrooms with scrambled eggs instead. or cook it with butter and garlic n eat it with rolls. mmm... yummm... eh eh! focus focus!
ever since i saw amy adams preparing this dish in julie & julia i was hooked! butter! cream! mushrooms! chicken! wats not to love!?! i CANNOT wait to get home and get started! i even contemplated cancelling my tuition class today- bad teacher! then i remembered she has an exam tomorrow..
wen im cooking something, i actually get more excited about making the dish then actually eating it!- ok my rear end may give u an impression otherwise but i also eat out a lot so yeah. i dont eat much when i cook. unless its spaghetti. janna and spaghetti is a dangerous dangerous combo. i actully get up in the middle of the nite to go tinkle and get cravings. at like 3am. and i actully layan this crazy cravings. so id b raiding the fridge at 3am and eating a bowl of spag bol in front of the telly before falling asleep 10 mins later. hows that for unhealthy lifestyle!
so anyway! yes! i love the process of making something!! the going to the supermarket to pick up fresh ingredients! and cutting n slicing and zesting! i love zesting lemons for cakes! i love making lemon cakes coz i cannot get enough of the smell!! i never use lemon essences in my cakes- only the natural zest! i love it! eventho i have zested my fingers and hands along so many times i still love doing it! so worth the battle wounds!
i love love love cooking for people! and i live for the moment their eyes lite up n they go mmmmmmm!!! yummm!!!! yes yes i do like having my ego rubbed every now and then bt who doesnt eyh?
eh btw pls watch julie & julia if u havent yet. if that doesnt bring out the kitchen goddess in u then u def are a lot cause. i can get fat just by watching that. the cravings u get watching her create heavenly goodness out of pounds n pounds of butter is so wrong it has to be right! am i making sense? i cannot live without butter either. butter and garlic make up a huge part of my life- and my a**. i only watched it once, and went on a crazy cooking spree later. am afraid to watch it again.
so i cant wait to get home tonite! were gona have a little cooking date at home. im quite territorial when im in the kitchen- an issue im working on. hope the chicken doesnt come out pink!

krring krringggg!!
Remember the time when you dont have handphones... and you would need to use the landline to call people... and you'd fight over who gets to use it first... or who's hogging the line (always kak in)...
and parents (i presume) came up with horror stories of ghosts haunting kids who stayed up late at night to hang on the phone to avoid kene marah.
and you would memorize all of ur frens numbers by heart.. amazing how we were able to store so much numbers in our heads.. mom's, dad's, sister's, bro's, frens, bf's, grandparents, aunties, uncles, pizza hut pon.
then came the handphone
i swear i cannot for the life of me remember my bf's handphone number. i have tried and tried and tried to no avail.
my mom cant remember my dad's number to save her life but she can recite her bestfrens number (whom she hangs on the phone with on a daily basis) in a heartbeat.
can u imagine life without ur handphone??
i go nuts when my phone jams on me for 5 mins. id throw a bitchfest if i didnt have a phone at all!
this post is pointless. i was just thinkin of how i cannot rmember my bf's number dats all...

Happy Wonderful 2011
Happy New Year everyone!! so how'd u guys spend ur new years? watching beautiful fireworks?? having a party with friends?? bbq with the family?? when the clock struck midnite, signaling the arrival of 1st Jan 2011, i was in bed. sleeping. freezing. cursing at the sound of fireworks. n getting pushed off the bed by my 2 year old niece who thinks she's the size of an elephant n need the entire queen sized bed to herself.
but it was for me a wonderful way to start the new year- with family. albeit family meant having a toe shoved into my mouth while she tossed and turned in bed. i actually miss smelling her baby hair while i slept. she does this thing whr she will sleep in the crook of ur body and try to come as close as she can- often almost pushing me off the bed.
on the day b4 the eve of new year, myself, along with jj n sabrina made our way up the windy road to cameron highlands whr my parents were waiting. they had come down from penang whr they were shopping for food. they hate cameron food so every year b4 our cameron trip they'll go up to penang to tapau delish food to be consumed during the trip.
and oh my god sabrina has such a mouth on her!! she will talk ur ear off!!! if u dont listen to her she'll shout n scream n hit u just to mke a point. n wen she gets excited she's kindda dangerous. i bathed her the othr day n bundled her up in a towel. and it was really cold n she was laughing real hard den all of a sudden she bit my neck. hard. it was soooo painful i let out a scream n put her down. of course i marah her. she's got ALOT of teeth now so it really really hurt! of course she turned on the water works and i got it fr my dad. seriously. she should bite him. id like to see him go all cool n 'shes just a baby' after dat! hehe
but all in all. i had fun. the trip was centred arnd cakbina and she is such a funny baby. mama na!!! whr tobeylee!??? whrr?!?!?! whr mama naa!?!?!? whr!!!! tobeyleee!!!!! -this happens evrytime we pass a giant strawberry up thr. which is abt every 2 mins. and she seemed to not like the butterflies we saw at the butterfly farm but she went on forever after dat looking for 'butter-tai'.
we saw a cute chipmunk in a cage running non stop and she got all excited coz she loves the chipmunk movie. she was doing the dance routine n everything then she suddenly got all mad n was scolding the chipmunk going 'chipmak no!! no chipmak!!' i asked her 'y r u scolding the chipmunk na?' she went 'chipmak tupah!!! no chipmak!!' turns out the chipmunks food, some corn kernals had spilled onto the floor under the cage. she got plenty mad with chipmak after dat.
oh and she also speaks in two volumes. whispers. and maximum volume. she shouts. she doesnt talk. even when its just the 2 of u in a quiet place. she shouts. ive gone half deaf since the trip. she also whines a lot to my mom. she'll go gemama!! (grandmama) tenok mama na!! (tengok mama na) wenever i annoy her.
all in all. i had a wonderful exhausting time. and it did get pretty cold in cameron much to my surprise. must be all dat rain. ill leave u guys with some photos. Happy New Year again! I hope 2011 will bring us all more happiness and rezeki and serenity.
hugss all round!
but it was for me a wonderful way to start the new year- with family. albeit family meant having a toe shoved into my mouth while she tossed and turned in bed. i actually miss smelling her baby hair while i slept. she does this thing whr she will sleep in the crook of ur body and try to come as close as she can- often almost pushing me off the bed.
on the day b4 the eve of new year, myself, along with jj n sabrina made our way up the windy road to cameron highlands whr my parents were waiting. they had come down from penang whr they were shopping for food. they hate cameron food so every year b4 our cameron trip they'll go up to penang to tapau delish food to be consumed during the trip.
and oh my god sabrina has such a mouth on her!! she will talk ur ear off!!! if u dont listen to her she'll shout n scream n hit u just to mke a point. n wen she gets excited she's kindda dangerous. i bathed her the othr day n bundled her up in a towel. and it was really cold n she was laughing real hard den all of a sudden she bit my neck. hard. it was soooo painful i let out a scream n put her down. of course i marah her. she's got ALOT of teeth now so it really really hurt! of course she turned on the water works and i got it fr my dad. seriously. she should bite him. id like to see him go all cool n 'shes just a baby' after dat! hehe
but all in all. i had fun. the trip was centred arnd cakbina and she is such a funny baby. mama na!!! whr tobeylee!??? whrr?!?!?! whr mama naa!?!?!? whr!!!! tobeyleee!!!!! -this happens evrytime we pass a giant strawberry up thr. which is abt every 2 mins. and she seemed to not like the butterflies we saw at the butterfly farm but she went on forever after dat looking for 'butter-tai'.
we saw a cute chipmunk in a cage running non stop and she got all excited coz she loves the chipmunk movie. she was doing the dance routine n everything then she suddenly got all mad n was scolding the chipmunk going 'chipmak no!! no chipmak!!' i asked her 'y r u scolding the chipmunk na?' she went 'chipmak tupah!!! no chipmak!!' turns out the chipmunks food, some corn kernals had spilled onto the floor under the cage. she got plenty mad with chipmak after dat.

marry we??
on a slow boring tuesday, i get an IM from jj at work, after ignoring me for most of the day coz he was busy, saying that he was craving for oyster mornay so we were goin out for dinner. i found this weird coz im the crave-er in our relationship. he wud normally just go along. he hardly ever craves anything! boring tummy he has.
the place we were going to is in wangsamaju, and in my book, anywhr more then 20 kms away from my home is practically another country. it was 8pm when he picked me up. i was so hungry by this time that i was practically gnawing on the car seat. pls bear in mind that my dinner time, at the latest is 630pm. n i hate dat hunger pang that seem to eat away at ur tummy. bt i sensed something was goin on so i kept my green eyed monster in check.
it took us only abt half an hour to get there and as we were reaching the place he took an unknown turn. i though this was weird but i reasond that he knew this area really well, mayb he's taking a short cut or somthing. he pointed out wangsa walk to me n i went 'ooooh they have a cold storage!' (i have an unhealthy addiction to supermarkets) to which he replied 'u wanna go??' i flashed him a look n sed 'hello??? do u kno wat time it is??? im so hungry i cud eat a family of elephants n u wanna go jln2 kt supermarket???!?' ok green eyed monster peeping over the wall!
he took me around n around n around. at one point i looked out the window n saw the zoo negara!! i looked at him n sed- r we lost?? it was almost 9 by now n my tummy juices were churning out acid that was burning holes in my tummy in search for food!
i kindda guessed he was gonna propose at the restaurant coz he was acting all weird so i was thinking in my mind, y d heck is he going around n around in circles?? is the staff having problem sticking the damn ring into the dessert?? is he trying to work up the courage?? watt??!
then we FINALLY arrived after my incessant bables urging him to go faster as i really needed to use the loo.
after refreshing myself, we sat down n ordered. as we were waiting for our food, he looked worried n distracted and the moment i start to talk he would zone out like he's thr but he's not really thr. get wat i mean? n im like 'hello, talk to me'.
and then!! all of a sudden the restaurant doors opened n i see my dear dear darlings frens walk in, D, la's husband, followed by La n their baby, Mari (holding up her phone the entire time recording the event) and her bf Af af. they were each carrying a pla card that read, M-A-R-R-Y. i turned n looked at him n he was holding up an M and an E, only the M was upside down so it sed MARRY WE.
den he took out the ring box. or rather, accidently threw it across the table. nervous n embarassed punye pasal. n fixed it on my finger!
i found out later the reason he took me around the tour of wangsa maju was that mari was late, and she had the placards so he had to stall while she was stuck in traffic with marry we.
our wedding is planned for next year and i pray to Allah swt all goes smoothly and as planned.
so there, that is the story of his proposal to me. and to answer his question - will you marry we? of course i sed yes. how could i say no to marrying 6 people at once!
p/s: looking at these pics made me realize sumtin. i really shudnt go out in public sans make up. gross..

My New Love
I have been in love with kitchenaid mixers since forever. and it doesnt help that nigella n my fav pastry chef (other then my sister) anna olsen uses it. thing is, it costs a bomb here. ok not so bomb la but bomb for me considering thr are so many oth things i need to buy n u can get a kenwood one for wayyyyy cheaper here.
theres a store near my place that carries kitchenaid mixers n evrytime i pass by the display window, whr they have so meanly displayed the mixers in a row of rainbow colours, i wud look forlornly and longingly, like a child staring at an ice cream shop. only worse.. coz the child hasnt eaten in 3 days n is really hungry n so she needs the ice cream to survive.
so ive been looking for it on websites like mudah n lelong, then it struck me that these sites sometimes sell used things n eeeuu im gona b making food with it n eeeuuu coz i dont kno whr its been u kno! ok i kno i can clean it yadda yadda yadda bt im anal like dat get over it.
den i went on this magic website called amazon! whr beautiful kitchenaid mixers had such tiny pricetags compared to here!! ok not so tiny wen converted bt real tiny for kitchenaid!!
the ARTISAN STAND MIXER 5KSM150PS costs about 2400- 2600 MYR but in the US its like 299.00 USD. heaven??!? i think so!! its even cheaper (256 USD) for some less popular colours like the yellow (which i love)!!
the price here is more then double the selling price thr!! insane!!
so now im inclined to buy it online n have it shipped over but id like to get some feedback from ppl who have bought heavy things online from the US. i wanna kno wud i be taxed? also theres the voltage issue. i read on a blog that Malaysia uses the same high voltage as the UK at 240kV. The US uses 110kV. so wud this pose a problem? well if anyone knows pls pls pls enlighten me.
in the meantime. feast ur eyes!!
p/s: btw he proposed!! but lets save that for another post eyh?

World Hunger 2010 Charity Walk
I did my first ever charity walk in my adult life over the weekend. and it was soooooo much fun!!
i stumbled across the reg booth one day while i was out having lunch. i called jj n he gave his nod of approval. then i roped in some buddies who were equally excited and clueless about it.
the evening before the walk, jj had a football friendly with his buddies and twisted his ankle. my first thot was 'oh noooo!! kesian!! r u ok!' winds of change came quickly and concern turned to 'omg!! den u kenot walk tomorrow!! ohh mann!! u kno how long weve been planning for this??' he shushed me n sed he wud be ok to walk by morning. i highly doubted it n offered my late grandmothers wheelchair, the one we use as a racing vehicle around the house. very mature ppl we are.
so come morning he picked me up for breakfast and lo n behold! he was limping! and walking very slowly, dragging his swollen ankle.. shiannn!! i told him not to do the walk, instead he cud just sit by the side and hold our handbags. of course he disagreed. 'tanak lah!!'
so we reached the place n was greeted with a sea of yellow. it was like we went to sleep and woke up in digi man land. was pretty hard trying to spot one another coz evryone looked yellow and similar.
there was a few activities we could partake in while waiting for the walk to start. nenah and i spotted the sumo wrestle thingy and was jumping up n down in xcitement! the suit was like a portable sauna and stank of the sweat of former sumo's. disgusting i kno. bt the wrestling part was soooo fun and uber funny!! at one point nenah fell on her back and cudnt get up. she was like an upside down turtle. the man had to pick her up by her suit. so so so funnn!!!
we (jj n i) ended up walking 5 km instead of our pre agreed 3. it rained earlier so it was cool n breezy. at one point jj picked out an old old man and sed that he would be our benchmark, we had to keep our pace up to his and that he should never be out of our sight. i thot 'sure!! no problem!! he's old how fast can he really go??' 10 minutes down the road we were on the lookout for a new benchmark, we lost our old one (pun not intended).
we ended the walk with the collection of our goodie bag (which i loved) and dinner which we ceremoniously ate by the roadside along with other digi man lookalikes.
all in all it was a marvellous day and i would love to do it again!
they had it last year at padang merbok and there were two thousand ppl in attendance, this year there was six thousand.
i hope there'll be more and more ppl nx year. not only do u get to spend an awesome day with your loved ones, u also get to burn fat and play sumo AND FEED THE POOR!! how wonderful is that!!
here are some photos that i nicked from nenah's fb coz she was the only one taking photos.

Jogger Horror the Sequel..
** Continuation from previous post
So we hiked on along. stopping at the small stream to refresh ourselves. there were a number of tracks. well worn paths that lead to the exit im sure. i mean this is a popular place. its pretty safe. rite? turns out i was wrong. after following one of the many well beaten paths (alot of which was littered with markers from previous group hikes) we hiked up a track n suddenly found ourselves on a road. a real tar-ed road albeit a small like. kindda like the ones winding up cameron highlands.
on our right was a huge water tank (dead end) and to our left the road stretched further then we cud see. at this point we still saw paper markers left by the group hike. we dcided to walk up the road, when i say UP, i mean UP. we climbed up the road n saw nothing. well i saw a baby black n red snake. at this point i looked down n realised there werent any more markers n i was beginning to worry. neither of us spoke. the sun was high up above our heads by then.
suddenly thr was a loud rustling noise in the bushes (semak samun) to our left. it was really loud. i was terrified!! but we still walked on. he wasnt looking so good. i asked if he was ok, he sed his knee was hurting n that he cudnt run. oh no... then i heard the distant sounds of traffic. i jogged ahead pass the curve in the road to see and i saw a creepy old house ahead. at this point jj cudnt see me as i was pass the bend. then suddenly there was a loud rustle in the semak samun again, this time to my left. i ran back to himwe both turned pale(he claimed he was calm n relaxed n i was d only one panicking- ok btul kot) scared out of my wits. i have not idea wat animal dat was but watever it was it scared d hell out of me.
as we were approaching the house there was soft music playing an old malay tune. the house looked like an abandoned bungalow but sumone had taken over n built a small attachmnt using pices of plywood. n there was a rickety old car out front. n no one to be seen.
it was creepy as hell i tell u. no one knew whr we were, if sumone were to have taken us no one wud know. my mom wud probly hv ppl comb every inch of lake gardens n wudnt find anything.
thankfully nothing unfavourable happened thr. i was never more glad to see ppl when we reached a kampung. the name of the road- jalan kubur.. how apt.
please bear in mind we started hiking at bukit gasing in PJ.
u know where we came out??
pantai dalam in bangsar. BANGSAR!! from pj!! on FOOT!! MY FOOT!!
needless to say we hailed a cab to drive us back to our car, that was parked in pj. im all for hiking in the jungle but DO NOT make me walk in the sun unprotected by trees or sunblock n sunglasses.
it was a long time before we got to eat our bfast at raju.
this happened yesterday n my body is feeling the aches today. i hope a burnt a gazillion calories yesterday. i tink i deserve it wat with my near death experience with the snake n rustling semak samun's. i almost had a heart attack!
i had to tell this story while its still fresh in my mind.
so guys the next time u go hiking, make sure u take the rite track ok? n wear sunblock even if u dont think its neccessary. i learnt that the hard way.

Jogger Horror- The Beginning...
So ive been feeling super unhealthy and fat lately, so i made jj promise to bring me jogging on sunday. i had to make him promise coz i wanted to go early. reeaaaal early. like at 715am. coz if we go later den d sun wud b up n me n d sun. we're not on good terms. so thr we were, all geared up n ready to go.
lake gardens here we come!! then as we approached d jln dat leads on to parliament tibe2 omg jln di tutup. apparently there was a marathon goin on dat day. sum olympic day marathon or sumtin. i mean seriously. i wanna run too!!
so thr we were, bloody morning sun shining in our faces as it kept on rising, staring at runners jogging past our car, as we sat waiting for the end-less stream of runners to pass. when i say endless, i mean endless. half an hour later we were still stuck at d same spot. i wanted to scream. ok i did. coz hello! were burning daylight!! i did not get up soooo early to watch ppl run! i wanna run!! hv u seen my thighs??? i NEED to run!!
ok so lepas tu we dcided to go to bukit gasing tmn rimba in pj. ive only been thr once wen i was 9 bt i remember how much i loved it! its a patch of jungle in the city. its not really a jogging place. more of a hiking place which i totally love!
he was reluctant to go by this time, prefering to hit d bfast place instead. but after promises of raju's he relented. i was bouncing of the walls with excitement. then we got there n i got even more excited! i climbed n jogged n walked n basked in the wonderful fresh forest air, and the beautiful sunlight that escaped in thin rays amongst the dense greens. *que music n slow-mo movements*
after 15 mins i was already huffing n puffing but loving it still. been such a long time since i worked up a sweat. we hiked in silence, greeting the occasional hikers we met along d way. i kept on following a sign that sed 'anak sungai' which means 'stream'. at this point we didnt bump into anyone else. bt i remember reading sumwhr that u should always follow the river if u ever get lost on a jungle.
ok this is quite a long post. i will cont the story on d next post coz a long post just makes me wanna sleep.
**please note that this is the fairer side of the story. the next episode will be dark n frightful. i promise.

wedding bells are ringing
they're ringing all right. it feels like everyone is getting married in the near future. ppl whom im close to. a number of my dearest frens are either engaged or about to be, married or soon to be or already have a baby!
a few months back my fav cousin announced she was getting engaged. naturally i was thrilled for her. i was her maid in waiting at her engagement and i will be her maid of honour at her wedding not too long from now.
i was excited looking for stuff for her hantaran n suggesting this and that, till it hit me that my fav cousin was getting married... the one i always hang out with when i balik kampung... the one who takes me around to eat like thrs no tomorrow.. the one i confide it.. n now shes getting married.. then i realised that all my cousins from my moms side who's around my age are married. save for one who's getting engaged at the end o d year... and me
im a planner. and for as long as i can remember ive planned to be married by the time i hit 25. but after a failed engagement i did have certain qualms about getting into another serious relationship. but aftera lot of some thinking, crying, fighting, and getting to kno him i realised what an honest person he is, and truth be told, that honesty was a lifeline for me. it made me trust again. with him it is a 'what u see is what u get' situation. he can be bluntly honest at times and initially i was taken aback many times, but after a while it grew on me. and i started to see the humour in it. n he is the funniest thing ever! he says d weirdest things and means sumtin else. n he'd pretend he didnt hear me when i correct his grammar n words (yes yes i kno its irritating but i cant help it!). and he makes me laugh so hard.
eg. he'd say 'nice doing pleasure with you' when what he really wanted to say is 'its a pleasure doing business with u'
pastu marah org laugh. its not that i wanna laugh, but i just have too!! for the sake of my sanity!!
so my point is, it doesnt bother me so much that im missing my 25th year wedding plans. because i kno i have sumone who makes it worth it.
as for my wedding bells... i do hear its ringing... faintly.... but surely

Adios world cup!!
so the world cup is over. none is more glad then me, to finally have my bf back. for a month i had to share him with so many countries and people. ive missed a number of movies i wanted to catch coz 14 men wanted to run after one ball and he HAD to watch it. he's bummed WC's over n im on top of the world.
but despited my bitching about it, i did catch one game with him. at laundry nonetheless. anyone who knows me know that i hate loud places whr conversations are impossible. that is why i dont club. and dont even get me started on the smokey air! gosh! you could drop dead in 2 seconds from all that 2nd hand smoke! i mean really!! ventilate much??
it was his frens bday n they were gathering there, plus they were gonna catch the germany- argentina game.. and papa had bought me a germany shirt from his recent trip (semangat sbb got baju!) so i thot, wat the heck! he accompanied me shopping, how bad could this be!? turns out.... not too bad! i surprised myself! by the end of the game i was still standing. not the least bit grumpy (as i tend to be when surrounded by loud noises n smoke)! i even enjoyed the game! eventho i didnt understand one bit of it! at all!!
i sat down at my spot n people watched at one point, dizzy from the smoke. it was a hodgepotch of races and supporters. all very vocal ones mind u. next to our group there was a bachelor party going on, a guy was wearing what looked like a disposable rain poncho with words scribbled on it, no doubt the lucky man. they were making so so so much noise! as the nite progressed the groom was asked to produce a bra as a dare. he wasnt really given a choice really. poor guy was almost on the verge of tears begging every single girl. i was just waiting for him to get the living daylights punched out of him. sadly- this never came. he did eventually get his brassier. good on u mate!
it was a riot of sounds. screams shouts n curses would ring out at every dramatic turn of the game. punctuated by drunken shouts from the groom party. i came out with only half my hearing intact. at one point we were left with about a 3 inches of view of the big screen, thanx to giant a**ess blocking it. it bothered even me who wasnt really watching it! coz sumone had to get up every 2 minutes n go xcuse me!! coz shouting it from afar would have as much reaction from them as it would if u said it in ur head. so noisy, sure kenot here wan.
anyway! germany won that nite!! woohooo!!! it was an experience for me. i didnt say it was great, but it wasnt bad. would i go again? probably not, but im glad i did. and as for the world cup? would i stay up in the wee hours to watch it again? maybe... if the crowd is good.. and if i have a shirt of which even team is winning- or at least sorta ok-ish.. or if robin van persie is playing.. n not at 230am thank u...

RIP Red BB
so on sat jj n i decided to finally go hiking- a plan we made 3 months ago. ok br skrg nk materealize. so i got up ad 7 and showered and waited for him to pick me up. papa did all bout laugh his head off (ok laugh jgak bt xguling2)when i told him i was going hiking. he simply kenot take me seriously when i tell him im gonna do any form of streneous activity since well.. ever. give me sum cred la pa!
well he ws rite.. but we didnt intentionally not go hiking.. it rained.. quite heavily pulak tu so we re-routed and went for bfast instead. mkn heavy pulak tu.. mee kari!! nyum nyum.. on a rainy day a steaming hot bowl of mee kari is heaven in a bowl ok.
den wanted to drop by maxis but it wasnt open yet so he sed.. alang2 were here lets work up a sweat abit. so we went to kiara park at tmn tun. we park rite infront of thegate whr so ramai org klua masuk. d car was opposite the soya bean truck which is like d hi lite of the park. n dey had a nature society day thingy dat day so laagiii la ramai org.
getting down from the car i wanted to bring down my phone by he sed xpayah la, i dh bwk my phone. so i left it in the glove compartment n we were off. thr were lotsa booth around d park. we signed sum petition, ate sum cereal (thr was a honeystars truck parked nearby- like i cud resist!??) and den trus penat.
went back to the car and opened the glove compartment to get my phone and lo n behold!! it wasnt thr. me being me immediately panicked. he was all calm n cool. ade tu. check btul2. im sure its thr. my phone has a red devil rubber cover so its kindda hard to miss. i was sure at that point we had been robbed. he was still relaxed saying, my wallets here we werent robbed'. till he opened his wallet and found himself poorer by rm150.
by this time i was surprisingly serene. i was not going jack in d box crazy like id always imagine myself to be in these situation. after it sunk in that we were indeed robbed in broad daylite, we went n lodged a police report. we went by maxis to get my sim card back and to enquire about my corporate plan but was rather dissapointing.
i got myself another bb coz i still hv to pay for the service so i might as well mke use of it kn.
n today i got even!! called maxis n got them to jamm my stolen phone so it can only be used for making and receiving calls. no sms, mms, bbm, fb, twitter, nothing! hamek kau pencurik!!
i just sat staring at my laptop screen with a grin on my face imagining d face of the creep using my phone n tibe2 kenot use.
we (myself n d kid i teach tuition to) bbm-ed my old phone yesterday using tuition kids bb n sumone was already using it! sumone named alan. n we asked him whr he got the phone n i told him dat he was using my bb dat was stolen over the weekend. guess wat he did. he deleted tuition kid from his list. and he nvr approved me at all!! sbb my nick on my old phone is jane n my new phone pn name jane. so cam he xapprove. n now he cant use d phone. hihi!! *joy*
ok i just realised i dont hav a single photo of my old phone.. how sad... oooh found one! but its more of me brangan amek gamba while trying on clothes.. hmm.. well sumtin is better then nuthin ey?
