After Low Tide Is ALWAYS High Tide

I feel a little on the low tide lately. In all, I’ma gonna sum it up and put the blame on work.

And the p.e.o.p.l.e in it. -_-

It’s always the human factor that puts me off balance. Gah! T_T It’s a constant struggle to stay afloat!

But, the fact that it’s a “struggle” is because I’m putting up a fight - a fight to not just stay afloat, physically; but also emotionally and spiritually. It’s seriously tough esp when you have a family to juggle with, and to think I don't even have kids to worry about now! Working married women (with kids - optional), how do you do it?! :(

But I’m just not about to kowtow to any sort of negative thinking and let them drown me! >(

Submit. Submit. Submit! Submit all your plans, and wills, and thoughts, and you, to Him.

Because only when I’m weak, He is strong.


Enough about this low tide rubbish! High tide is coming real soon! Gotta get ready for it because….

CHURCH CAMP IS A-COMING!!!!!!!!!

*excitingness*

!!!!!

And that’s tomorrow! Can you believe it?! Tomorrow we’ll be off to Port Dickson for our church camp and some high tide fun! Although… I’m not a big fan of Port Dickson with all its slimy and shady waters, but I digress!

It’s 4 full days of time away from the office and instead, spent with your favouritest people in the world!!!!! - church members. lol

Hehe. But yes lah, very favourite lah. Don’t you love your church members? Don’t you, don’t you don’t you huh huh huh? LOL

(don’t mind me please. I’m de-stressing T_T)

Church camp goodness aside. There will be a theatre production right after we all come back from the camp - the following weekend - entitled “Revive!”

Come join us (peiling! Yes?)! And watch Jason acting as satan!!! our multi-talented youths doing what they do best on stage!

P/S Autograph session can be arranged at the end of the play. lol


So stop hesitating (it’s free admission lah)! Just come! =) omg I'm so kancheong! :/breathleishiabreath!relaxjustrelaxit'llbejustfine!trustGod!justbreathpleaseholeishia!T_T

Have Grub. And Eat It Too!

Eat Lunch?

Or have lunch?

Our Life Thus Far

... in Puchong is awesome!

First off, it feels like a house, no more rest house and hotels and whatchapacallit. When we reach home, we actually feel like we are going back home. Tu comprends?

Secondly, it’s so much closer to church and our social life in Subang/Sunway. We can actually stay to make friends and have decent conversation as compared to rushing home with heavy eyelids after every night-time event, especially in church!

Thirdly, we’ve been out and about making friends! Our social circle is expanding like nobody’s business for the past 2 weekends I’ma gonna explode due to too much excitement!

Oh and lookie what I / we did for the past 2 weekends!

First (this post is all about listing, yes -_-)
Played an INSTRUMENTAL ROLE (read: UTTERLY IMPORTANT) in (force) bringing a blog to life. (Insert obligatory blog-pimping act) Check him out here. Oh and the new-born blogger says "only single ladies are welcomed" -_- Cis! The ungratefulness!

Secondly
Eh wait. What I did last Sunday ah? …. Shucks. I forgot. Zzz.

Thirdly
Had dinner with the 3 boys AND hung out at the car park watching clips after clips of Ana Ivanodunnowatvic bouncing on the field (apparently it's a tennis) court on Dohnie’s lappy (because he made us to!) AND actually stayed for ICE CREAM! 2 friggin’ pints of ice cream baby! Next time, we should get an entire pint of BR’s Rum Raisin, like this we won’t need to fight.

Classic line of the evening:
Jason: She’s very elegant (referring to Ana Ivanodunnowatvic).
Dohnie: ELEGANT! YES! YES! *drools all over*
Leishia: Classy
Dohnie: AH YES! ELEGANT AND CLASSY! (you should see him man. That smitten face! Fuh!)
Jap: *lying on the car hood, looking forlornly into the night sky, acting like so left out, and whispered sadly* then what am I?
Dohnie: O_o *an abrupt change from smitten to a confused and disgusted face*

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH that just cracks me up man! THEN WHAT AM I???? Dude! That's what you are! LOLLLLL AWWWW Kesiannya!!!! Someone's heart's broken!

Fourthly
Crazy enough to agree to a midnight movie at Pyramid (on the eve of a public holiday. Without making bookings x_x) only to be told that all seats for all movies are gone. That’s the shortest trip I’ve ever made to a shopping mall in my entire life - 15 minutes tops.

Fifthly
So instead of movies, we hung out (see! More hanging out!!!) at a mamak nearby and had honey naan, mee goreng, mixed grill, satay, and jumbo sour sop juice! By the time we finished, it’s almost 1am I think (staying out late without curfew!!!! Whoo hoo!!!! If I’m dreaming please please please don’t wake me up! T__T).

JeeJin was nice enough to point out that we can actually go home to Puchong without paying toll and that he’s willing to show us the way, right then! O_O shocking-est news ever! The part where we can skip the toll lah.

And the lovebirds - Jap and Dohnie - were clapping hands in glee in view of a possible “road trip”. There’s something fascinating about going out in the middle of night I tell ya! Everybody loves it!

Sixthly (It's this never gonna end -_- lol)
It’s true! It’s true! There’s actually a way to skip the toll!!!!! Oh yay! So happy! When we reached home, we actually showed our dear friends around the house (at ONE IN THE MORNING YOU HEAR ME?! I'ma just gonna hyperventilate and die here! Excitingness!!!), and sat down on the sofa for random and short but good conversations!

Seventhly
Took Irene’s invitation for Prince Caspian at Summit on Monday; not exactly up to expectations, the movie, but the company was great! Had pizza for dinner (the joint actually carries our magazines!) and made a ruckus in the restaurant, oh and made a new friend! Hello Jamie! I like your accent! :)

And the proudest moment - I pointed out my back and feet which was *ahem* featured on the magazine to the gang! Can you spot me in this month’s issue? xD

Syiok sendiri-ness! xD xD xD I’m beyond help! But just typing this entry already makes me excited all over! L.O.L

The Day My Husband Thinks I've Achieved Kitchen Divahood

Inspired /ahem by anggie, I’m gonna blog about my success story (finally) in the kitchen.



I erm, made lamb stew.

First, you nick a simple recipe from somewhere, anywhere!
Then you take your time to collect and compile the ingredients from markets, hypermarkets, your mom's house etc.
Then you take a day’s leave off work and rise early to cut up the ingredients. (I hate animal blood T_T)
Then you may go back to sleep.
Then you wake up again and stare at the clock to decide which hour of the day is good to start stewing.
Then you take out your slow cooker (kitchen saviour T_T I heart you slow cooker!), dust it, clean it, worship it. Whatever suits you.
When your perfect hour comes, take out all your ingredients, dunk it all in to the pot (ok lah, be a bit more graceful, “layer” the ingredients in lah if you will =.=)
And then you turn the cooker on and you let it cook.
And then you just sit pretty and wait to be praised! :)

How do I define success, you ask? Easy. When the husband kept raving about it for 3 days in a row, that, my friends, is success.

OK, by raving I mean he kept talking about how tender the mutton was and that that was the most tenderest mutton he’d ever had his entire life and no mamak stall on earth can beat my mutton and it was really good! Not just good, but GOOD good. So good he was crying when he was eating it! (I'm not kidding! What do I look like I'm not capable of making people cry with my awesome cooking?! Huh?! >/)

I just smiled demurely and nodded along and peppered my thank-yous in a lady-like manner.

OF COURSE I DIDN’T TELL HIM SLOW COOKER CAN SOFTEN ANY TOUGH CUTS OF MEAT LAH! ARE YOU CRAZY?! T___T


Eh, come to think of it, he raves because the meat was tender, not that it TASTED nice or something... O_-

Sigh.

So now yes. If he tells you his wife makes kick ass lamb stew, just agree with him and pretend you're awed damnit!

Yeah Lah! Yeah Lah! I Know How To Spell Stupid Lah!

To Jason a.k.a The Husband,

To save you energy and time and loads of guess work, I’ve already decided what I want for my 2009 birthday! I know right! Such an understanding wife!

A trip to Bangkok!

Specifically to Chatuchak! Thank you so much dear!!!

=D

Love,
The wife you said you love so very much

p/s How do you like mutton curry for dinner... erm... one of these days? Heh.


See! Easy peasy! I’m so easy to please I amaze myself!

xxx

I missed my company trip this year (in fact I’ve never been on any company trips! :( yes, my companies, previous and current, are cheena like that), on purpose -_-.

I missed it, simply because I thought why bother going when the reason my company bring us there is so that we’ll help them “carry” products through the custom so that they won’t need to be taxed so much (you get what I’m saying? -_-).

Oh, btw, every year, our company trip is only to Chatuchak, Bangkok. /swt

Plus if I were to go with Jason then we’ll have to fork out money for 1 extra pax. Plus my passport expired. Plus I was so full of myself thinking “Hmph! What’s the big deal about Bangkok woh? The weather’s so hot some more! No thank you lah!” Think also didn’t think I declined the offer ady -__- why am I so stupid!

Stupid never mind. Mah bear the consequences only lah, hor? :’(

So, bearing the consequences I am now loh. :'( :'(

I was lamenting to Jason and then you know what he said?! >(

“Ala go lah! You should go what! Who ask you to bring me along woh?”

-__________- See lah! My husband! Then if I don't count him in he'll emo with me pulak!

My colleague went and came back, like yesterday, and yerrrrr bought so many things and on top of that, all meals paid for!!! I was googling for Chatuchak and people’s loot from the market earlier before the trip and I tell you!!! HOW CAN I FORGIVE MYSELF FOR FORGOING A FREE CHANCE TO BANGKOK! Some more when my colleagues (actually the whole office only 2 persons plus 1 boss plus boss’ daughter went only) were out cruising Bangkok streets, we cows were working our you-know-what off in the office (I got underage readers -_- cannot be too free to exercise my vocab skill.Gah!).

LE SIGH!!!

So, OK Jason a.k.a The Husband? =D We go in January ya? But we're gonna have to pay ourselves :(

Any takers? Mai lah pergi beramai-ramai! Baru syiok! Think of it as…

… A getaway... to “Celebrate the birth of Leishia!”

/soh genius! See! Found you an excuse to travel!

Eh, but I’m serious ok! Save up money now and we go! OK? Oh can’t wait! :))))

Nah, I'm Blogging

I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT I love my jobs A LOT

T___T

I do, I really, really do! *constipated smiles*

You're My Hero!!!

… when you thickened your skin to do the Bic Mac chant and got me a free Big Mac! *heart*heart*heart*

Free Big Mac!!! I love free stuff! /shameless sial =_=

After days of begging to have McD for dinner, Jason - a hardcore non-junk food (to be defined) freak - finally crumbled and gave in to this poor, fast-food deprived wife. Ya, he thinks fast food is junk food, slow food is not. But he doesn’t consider Ramly burger as junk food because it’s made slowly. So basically if hamburgers are made slowly, then it’ll fall out of the junk food category. Automatically. -_-

Anyway I was so kancheong when he jumped up and declared he will “be your hero once again and get you a Big Mac, my damsel in distress!” =.= So I made him practiced so many times until he got frustrated and threatened not to join T_T why my husband liddat wan!

And then when I finally let him go, the cashiers all went in and out of the office/kitchen/counters/premise looking for a stopwatch! -_______- so in the end we offered them to use our handphone’s stopwatch. So nice of us. For not letting us join the competition on the ground of not having a stopwatch at the time, they will have to compensate us a lifetime of hamburgers! .... O_O eh wait! Then why lah we so stupid go offer them our stopwatch?! T____T

Whatever lah, as long as I get my free Big Mac! Ooo, gembiranya hati aku! xD *explode into a million pixels*

Oh if you don’t know yet, Uncle Ronald is running this little competition - purchase any McValue Meal and get a coupon. With the coupon, go to McD counters and do the chant (phrases are printed on the coupon or visit here), if you can do it under 4 seconds, congratulations, you just save yourself from spending on one meal!

Better yet, make a video of yourself doing the chant as creative as you can and you stand a chance to win RM10, 000. Cool right?! Go check out the link lah! Just make sure after you win, don’t forget me because I’ve played an instrumental role in making you rich! *sad song playing*

We’ve officially moved over to Puchong! Now we just need to get rid of the final coating of dust on the floor and you are most welcomed to come thrash the house. But don’t think you can walk out of the house alive without first cleaning it up ok! This is my strategy to clean the house weekly:

Welcome you --> you thrash house --> you clean up --> house get cleaned --> happy leishia

Your support is much appreciated!

xxx

On the first of May Irene Lim came helped to wash the house, and by wash I mean using a hose to hose down the entire house (Jason’s idea of cleaning) and then kept getting electrocuted -_-

We are so gamdong lah this Irene Lim, put aside her entire day and the fact that she’s had leg surgery done earlier and insisted to help us! T_T

“Irene ah. It’s ok lah. We can manage”
“NO! YOU COME PICK ME UP I TELL YOU! I ALREADY BOOKED MY CALENDAR TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE ONE MONTH AGO OKAY!!!!” *the ground shook*
*trembling* “yes ma’am…”

And then also there’s JeeJin, Jap, Jared, Aaron, and Lai San! Though you guys were only mesmerised with and interested in the floor polishing machine (and actually had fun riding it until it got overheat -_-) but still thank you so very much lah, climbed so high to lap tingkap and stuff. If not for you all, I would’ve to stay up till 3am just doing that. T_T

As for me, I’m really satisfied with the house. Earlier I thought by moving to a landed house means I won’t get my daily exercise (We lived on the third floor previously and I was pleased with my "steps" exercise regime), manatau, I exercise more than ever here! To get one item we have to run up and down the stairs to find it -_- But yeah lah, I’m not complaining! Heh.

Now, the next thing to look into is! Jeng jeng jeng! Getting a dog dog DOG!!!! :D

*so happy can die 4 times!* xD xD xD

To add to my happiness, my ed just informed me of a press screening of jeng jeng jengx2!!!! THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA 2: PRINCE CASPIAN this Monday! SOH HAPPY I'M CRYING T_T!! How nice if everyday also like this!

p/s must get Jason to do the chant at McD counter again tonight! *wiggle in pure excitement* xD

Been There. Done That T_T

Remember the time I had a stupid doctor sweeping a rat out of his clinic and slapped into my legs as I was walking by? (Yeah yeah the post is some where in archive, go look for it. I lazy -_-)

Well hey this time around, guess what I got.

Just guess lah T_T

No one gets it better than me T__T



























A FREAKING FATSO CATERPILLAR IN MY WANTON MEE!!!!! All plump and juicy and wriggled up in my wanton mee!!!!!!!! T____________T

Yay! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY?????????? WHY LIDDAT WAN?!!!!!!!!!

Puchong! Is that how you welcome your new resident?!!!!!!! >(

T________________________T

Tragic is me :'(

My Funky Pup Is Now 3!

When you first came
I had to skip and walk on sofas
just to avoid all furry contact with you

I was icky like that
But then you look every bit an angel
God must’ve spent a little more time on you
How cheesy but it’s true
Looking so serene in your baby naps

I couldn’t resist it
And I gingerly stretched a finger on your sleepy head
It didn’t feel too bad
So out went another finger
And another, and another

I was like a proud mom
When I managed to hold you in my arms
It was such a monumental moment
That you were in my arms

I was shrieking and jumping in joy
And I intend it to be that way
Forever and ever, to have and to hold

If only it can be so
Your presence at home three years ago
Had ease so much of tension
And brought so much of joy
You thought us that there are more things in life

Than problems, tears, and silly wars
You thought us how to laugh, to love, to be a dotting parent
And who would’ve thought, you thought us life

Now that you are a grand old age of three
All grown up and… crazily furry, we must say
We are so proud of your achievements -
Stop chewing shoes altogether is one of it :)

HAPPY WOOFDAY BIG OLD GIRL!
May you have a happy, long, and prosperous life
as how you’ve brought us so much of joy,
We don’t even know where to start counting
So happy birthday it is lah, I wish you in its truest sense
Here’s my tiny present for you,
A little dedication with a silly doodling poem
Have a great time kicking ass at home
Just make sure you don’t trip grandma over, ok?

Fish Feeding

It's all in a day's work


I couldn't believe I did it! :o Man, the length that I would go for work! T_T I almost died It was scary hokay!

Funky Word Of The Day

Spelunk!

spe·lunk [spi-luhngk] – verb (used without object) - to explore caves, esp. as a hobby.

Spelunk spelunk Spelunk! I like! Hee!

There’s Always A Lesson To Learn. Somewhere.

For guys, because it works, these lines, only to a certain extend though. Copy at your own risks.

She: Hey dear, when you die, do you want to be buried or cremated?
He: Anything lah! I don’t mind. Whichever way that is convenient to you.
She: Really? O_o *owh! My hero!*
He: But if I have a choice, I’ll get people to dig up your grave so that I may be put together with your deceased body when I die.
She: =_= so I still die first lah. Some more dig up my grave, die also no peace. zzz.
He: Eh! No lah! I’m just being romantic mah. Not romantic meh, liddat? Die die also must be together, regardless you die first or not! See! I’m so sweet!
She: -___________- of course.

While girls, well just don’t ask (too many) stupid questions. (But not stupid mah! This question stupid meh?! It's important what!)

It's Addictive Like That

Fooh! I’ve finished reading Amy Tan’s Saving Fish From Drowning! *syiok*

But actually no lah, not exactly syiok. You know the sense of lost? Like, “OOOO kayyy so now what?” after you come to the end of every book? Yeah. That.

Incidentally, today’s actually World Book Day! Do you know that since 1925 in Catalonia, a woman would give books as gifts to her lover who presented her with roses? Regardless that’s really the case or not, I thought that was really, really sweet! I just love books! Don’t you? Books and reading are just so sexy! Yum!

Did I tell you before that my sister and I would pester my dad to bring us to MPH warehouse sales in Jalan 223 every year to sapu books for keeps?

Oh how we love books. Back then, warehouse sales means WAREHOUSE SALES. Everything going cheap, cheap, cheap! Imported magazines would cost like RM1.00 and boy were they beautiful! All glossy and colourful! *heart* And the books! Glorious books! Best sellers were going for five, ten, twenty bucks. And alot were hard covers! It was that cheap! I have a rather impressive collection of John Grisham’s books and the Anne of Green Gables series! And because of those sales, I was introduced to the American classic - To Kill A Mockingbird - a beautiful, beautiful story, I tell you. I read until I cried! T__T You just have to read it!

But now warehouse sales really just means sell more reading materials and toys in the warehouse.

Sigh.

And why are books so expensive anyway? How to encourage reading? -_- The last book I splurged on was Marley and Me, which set me back about thirty three bucks and got me crying for days on end (the story lah!) But I really couldn’t resist it (the splurging lah! Tsk). I mean, it’s a real story about a dog, people! If anything, dogs are a gift from the heavens! Besides potatoes.

How I wish I can write like those people. One word strings another, one sentence flows to another, weaving stories is like breathing to the writers!

Sigh.

So now what? No more saving fish from drowning (which by the way, is stunning, you should read it also, really. Amy Tan. Read.). What genre do you read (yes, besides porn)? Indulge me! Recommend me some titles, yes please?

Of Getting Lost (Esp On Malaysian Roads) & Found

Just a simple thought I’d like to keep here as a self-reminder or sort. A thought which came to me some really long time ago, and then it keeps coming back again, and again, and again. Yeah, a reminder.

In less than half a month’s time I’ll be moving out from where I am living now, that means no more “long distance” driving to and fro work, a yay for me, definitely, but it’ll be Jason’s turn to do the long distance thing, haha.

When I drive, my mind tends to swing and sway, not in any weird way -_- but around mundane things… like, what’s for breakfast/lunch/dinner ah? Ooo, nasi lemak sounds good but tsk, so fattening lah! Man I so want charp fan right now O_o! YES! I want charp fan for lunch! I want uh, cheekin (ooo naish!) and, and vinegared pork knuckle sauce oh yummy say, by the way when will I be an entrepreneur? Will I ever be one in the first place? How does it feel to work from home ah? Gee when can I execute that plan? Oh hey I love it when my ed praises me about my write up teehee! I mean who doesn’t huh? HAHAHA silly and hey my boss was really nice to me today! *paranoid* oh mannn not. good. thing! O_O

You know, THAT sorta things. One thought races to another. Try it. Really cool.

There are also times when I’m reminded of good things, of course. Good things like my baby Polly (her birthday’s this month end! Think I should throw a surprise party for her? Hehe), like Jason when he plans his trips around my schedule so that I get to follow him on short trips *hearts*! Like when my grandma cooks all the good food for us! Like the random guy on the street who sang that "...suicidal, suicidal..." song to me :*) And like this one here…

So we were on the highways to some states for Jason’s regional training sessions, and we have no idea where to exit, which turn to take, and how far it will be, just taking things as it comes. Me being the paranoid me, I’ll be so kancheong about missing the exits, having to pay hefty toll prices, having to waste all the time when in fact we could’ve taken an easier way out, and all these crazy thoughts that will drive the driver (i.e Jason) nuts (seriously I'm not so bad in real life lah, really wan! =D)

And then I realized our life is exactly like our journey on the highways to foreign places, places we are not familiar with. We KNOW our destination, We've got the BIG picture, but somehow somewhere along, we’ll miss a turning here and there because some driver prefers not to listen to the passenger! Zzz =.= We’ll lose our bearings and end up in some random place, we’ll run out of petrol and into some mechanical problems, we'll have to pay the price (i.e toll! $@#$%) for silly mistakes we make, people like me will be paranoid because I don’t see where the heck I’m going! Annoying!

My view is confined to the one right before my eyes, shielded by the windshield. No handbooks, no maps, no nothing. Just me, and the options of the left/right indicator lights, go straight anyway or U-turn (man sometimes you won't even find a U-turn! How annoying is that?!)

Only if I get to see from the sky, I would’ve gotten a clearer view of every road and where each and everyone of them will lead me to. I’ll be able to link up the dotted lines from point A to point B. It'll be peanuts!

Alas, I do not have the luxury. La vie n’est jamais comme ça. But the funny thing is, somehow no matter how lost we’d get, we tend to find the way back on track, just like how no matter where and how you hide, if God wants you there, you'll be there, sooner or later. It’s amazing no? Well I find it amazing.

We’ll go around like some hopelessly lost ants, banging up walls here and there, getting lost; not knowing exactly the directions, but God sees it from above! He knows exactly our location and bearings, to the exact dot, He knows exactly where we are headed, and the most perfect thing is, He knows how to guide us back on track (uhh, just sometimes He'll be joker and let us get lost a bit lah, because we human very the ego, we gotta get bruised before seeking help). He’s watching from the sky! We are like little battery-operated tiny lego people! He can just take us out from the scene in a snap of a finger but that’s another story for another day.

That’s life. I guess.

If only we can be less stubborn and more willing to allow Him to take over the steering wheel. Life will be so much less miserable, yes no?

I know I know I’m beating round the bush, a lil (ok, a lot lah! Somebody teach me what’s a full stop whatever buhbye =.=) and I’m not even sure I’m making my point! Joh fail lah cannot be a preacher! -_- All I’m saying is, God is in control, no matter what! And I am privileged to know that. I just hope you’re aware of that too. And just trust Him like crazy! :)

God, I gibup ady lah. Can you show me the way? Tankqiu pwease? And I'm rweally, rweally hungwee :'(


Have a good weekend people!

Yes. I'm ending my preaching abruptly. Heh. Ta!

I Think I Didn't Really Answer The Question...

McD Brekkie kicked my ass. Burp.

~~~

Hi Peiling! *flashes biggest smile* Here’s your tag… for Chinese New Year =D I was thinking maybe I should keep the tag for next year’s CNY, but then again, maybe not. Hehe. Cute photo subjects shouldn’t be kept waiting.

So Ling says,

1. You must take photos with a Chinese New Year theme (somewhat like a photo essay).
The photos cannot be posed for.
2. It can contain living or non-living things, anything lah.
3. Must have some quality a bit lah, cannot simply snap pics of red packets, mandarin oranges or something. Precious moments during family chats/dinners is one example.
4. Minimum ten photos. Uh, a bit cannot lah. One can ah?
5. Post your bloglink here and link this post after you have blogged it.
6. It has to be blogged latest Feb 21 (last day of CNY). - WOOPSIES.
7. Lasty, spread the word (don’t forget to post the links here and link this post)! Let’s all have fun snapping away!

There. The picture was taken during CNY obviously, the bunch of us cousins were hanging out over tea while Polly was caught scheming how to reach *that* bebola merah hanging on those pussy willows by either jumping or begging. Either way, she was no where near success. If you haven’t noticed, it was a reflected image of us and Polly on a huge ass mirror we have at home. Why am I explaining the obvious? -_-

So anyway complying with rule number 7, I’m supposed to spread the word but since CNY is like, way over, let me invent a new theme for you snappy-happy people.

My favouritest shopping place McD Brekkie SPREADING LOVE IS THE NEW BLACK

Do whatever you want and express the theme through photos. Uh, the general rules are based on Peiling’s lah! When you’re done, drop me the link in my comment box to make me happy!

Let’s get the love spread-ed by:

Vicky (more reasons for you to snap and blog!)
Jap (I brewed the love, it’s now the time you spread the love)
Cerlyn (take it as a practice to hone your photog skills lah)
Donny (uh, donny… tsk, what can I say? Start a blog already. Zzz. You're the only one I can't hyperlink to =.=')
Ming Yan & Esther! (Because you guys are semi pros and ought to be... not so grey)
Alvin Boey! (Erm, you like to take lame photos of yourself right?)
And uh, consider yourself tagged lah! :

A Simple Take On Love

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, 'How do I know if I married the right person?'

I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, 'It depends. Is that your husband?' In all seriousness, she answered 'How do you know?'

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer. EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse/partner. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behaviour/habit).

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept off my feet.' Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfilment.

Extramarital fulfilment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression 'the labour of love - because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable… you can 'make'
love.

Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling.

Remember this always:

'God determines who walks into your life. It is up to YOU to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.'

Jason sent me this and I thought I’d share. If only we are more realistic with the erm, mechanisms of relationship/marriage, or maybe should I say, look at relationship/marriage from a different light, maybe, just maybe divorce won’t be such a happening word…

Blast From Past

Then


Now

Check ‘em out. My boys all grown up! *tears* lol so cool lah. I have like, most of their albums I think. I would saved up all my money, and then on Sunday, after dinner at Chan Kee, dad would usually bring us either to the then Taman Tun Jaya Jusco or the Damansara Parkson/Atria - the most happening places in the whole wide PJ! And then I would run all the way to the music department, and then ooh-ed and ahh-ed at those NKOTB and Debbie Gibson albums, and then hyperventilate and die and then hyperventilate some more. Yeah, so old-school fans style right?! My biggest dilemma then was to decide to put my money on which album, but that depended on what free gifts that came with the cassette. I *think* I still have that huge ass NKOTB poster somewhere. And that poster file, oh and that calendar! And the stickers, and then there’s another poster…

I learnt how to sing from them wan you know! Step 1! You can have lotsa fun! Step 2! There’s so much we can do! Step 3! It’s just you and me! Step 4! I can give you more! Step 5! Don’t you know that the time has arrived~~~ Hooh!


Joh I’m so shameless x_x

For those of you who smsed me sending your condolences ( O.o what the?!) in regard my previous post about the record button, uh, thank you. I actually do really appreciate your concern, but you all very canggih lah, instead of leaving comment (free!), SMS pulak -_- but thank you lah, I felt all warm and fuzzy inside when I read those smses, only to be followed by a sudden panic attack because I was being reminded about the record button. T__T

~~~

Life has been a little all over the place lately, have been sticking my hands in various so-called projects, both at work and off work.


Important woman at work. Agree or die >(

We are moving end of this month! And we haven’t even started packing yet! But we should have like 3 main holiday trips this year! W00ts! Wait, later have to go jot it down in my planner, just so to syiok sendiri :D


Surprised dinner!



Bye bye Bangi! It was good while it lasts.


Oh last week we went to JB! And I bought this lovely cocktail dress which I so love. But alas, Jason threatened me to sell it off or he would wear it :( that would be cool though lol. No lah. I bought it cos I really, really like it, but since I hardly wear dresses so I’m gonna sell it off and spread some love, better than keeping it in my wardrobe and grow mushroom right.

Here’s a picture of it, very blur, sorry, the days of my camera are numbered (hello new camera!).


Remind me of the Flintstones


The versatile dress is of a classy royal blue; super soft and light weight yet slinks perfectly; it fits beautifully and you can see the drapes and cuts as you move without looking over-expose, or slutty -_-. Super comfortable too! I love the dress T_T le sigh. It’s brought in from Hong Kong in limited quantity (I was told that they only brought in one piece lah but lets just take it with a pinch of salt). I’m letting it go at RM80.00. T_T I think retail price is around RM129.90 or higher.

If you’re interested let me know, I’ll show it to you, but if you’re outstation or whatever, I’ll get my photog to take better and more detailed pictures for you.

I had a lot in mind to write here but whaddayanoe, I forgot. Heh. oh yeah! I got a voucher to a spa session and I gave it to Jason and then he approved my spending for spas now on, provided I bring him along =_= haha.


~~~

It’s been a while. How have you been? :)


Polly says hi.

The Record Button Was Friggin' Pushed Damnit!

I am so dead. -_-

So dead -_-

I was the stand-in video-man at an event my company organized.

Long story cut short.

The part where the VIP spoke (the one where I killed my arm by sticking it up holding the camera) plus the launch where they dramatically dropped the huge ass black cloth?

Yeah. It’s not in the video. Like, NOT FRIGGING RECORDED. O_o

I swear I recorded it. I mean, how would you explain my dead arm, right? My arm is now limp, dead, de-oxygenized, and yeah, the shade of purple. -_- Good thing I'm a left hander

But I’m dead, regardless, be it left or purple. -_-

I’m. so. dead. =_=

Can send me a template for resignation letter? :(

Free Movie Passes

I've got 4 passes to the movie "The Deaths Of Ian Stone" to be given out. Any takers?

I take fries and McD choc sundaes a meal at Carl's Jr in return :)

... oklah oklah. McD fries and choc sundaes will do also lah. Zzz.

UPDATE:
Finished!

But I didn't get any McD fries and choc sundae :( Not even ramly burger! :(((

Making Random Waves

LOL so dumb lah the cat! Nicely summarising our Cat & Dog seminar over the weekend! Kill the cat be the dog! HAHAHA I like!

----

So I had a bit of omg-my-life-has-come-to-an-end-lets-cry-my-balls-eye-balls-out moment over the weekend. But thank God for that, I’ve FINALLY put off my procrastinator habit and went for a much needed perm and colour (and then I put it back on again -_-)!

After like, 3 long years. omg I missed those curls T__T! You simply have no idea how my life quality dropped when I did a stupid thing in the name of rebonding T__T I looked like…. nothing. I’ve been reduced to NO.THING and I was a few hundred bucks poorer. And traumatised. And 2D. For one year.

=_='

So the waves are back baby! *big goofy smile*

OK, bimbo talks aside, this blog shall return to its random-self again now that the whole political awareness campaign *ahem* dramatic episode is settling down (I sure hope! Unless some goblok rakyat rep do or say something stupid and make me angwee, I’ll switch mode >( Take this as a warning! *squint eyes wrinkle forehead thump heart*)

I’m so happy for my curls! Now I just need to wash it out a bit to de-tense the curls. Oh curls I love curls! *_*

Next! Sweep-shop all the malls! lol I kid I kid my dear husband! haha

-___- my himbo colleague just came and asked me if that shit stain in the toilet was done by me =__________=

… ok lah. I really don’t know what “proper post” means already (the random queen has returned. Yay.) Time for shopping work T__T

Ta for now lah.
