Feeling Crappy
I was feeling a little queasy when I reached home at about 7pm++ on Monday. My last meal was lunch at 1pm++, at the nearby hawkers down hill. At first I thought I was just feeling tired, tummy felt a bit bloated (like a lot of wind). Took a warm shower and had some dinner, but my appetite just wasn't there. After I cleared my plate, I went the the washroom and threw up a little. A while later I threw up again and had mild diarrhea. My bf immediately took me to my company's panel doctor in Sea Park. On the way there, I threw up again, and when we reached the clinic, I threw up outside in the drain. Man... I was feeling crappy all over. My bf helped me into the clinic and we sat there and waited for my turn to see the doctor.

The doctor inspected me and asked what did I consume, so I told her I had hawker food for lunch. "Hawker food is not good..." she said. Hello, I don't exactly have much choice do I? Anyway, I didn't have a fever, but my stomach felt as though there was lotsa gas inside and I felt like throwing up again. Once we walked out of the clinic, I threw up again...

We reached home and I took the vomitting pill on an empty stomach (doctor said so), 30 minutes later to take the charcoal pill & diarrhea pill. The diarrhea part wasn't so bad, pretty mild. But it was the vomitting that almost killed me. I vomitted so bad, my whole body was trembling, I was sweating profusely and I couldn't even stand on my two feet. And tears were just rolling down my cheeks. It felt as though my internal organs were about to come out. My bf had to hold me tighly and guide me to my bed to lie down. I couldn't really sleep much, and in the middle of the night I got up and threw up again. I woke my bf up and asked him to rub some ointment on my tummy, and went to sleep.

The next day I was feeling a bit better, no more vomitting and diarrhea. But I was feeling tired and lack of energy (I threw up so many times I lost count). Took some plain bread and was sipping on 100 Plus, dinner was plain porridge with some vege. I'm back at work now... still feel a little tired, hand & fingers coordination is like shit now. I can't type properly, made countless mistakes while typing this entry. My mind is in a daze now... and I have a discussion and possibly a meeting later today... bllleeehhhhh...

*Thanks baby, for taking care of me. Muacks!

Quack Quack!
I missed the Malaysian Idol auditions in KL! It was shown on Sunday right? I missed it. I heard the people that went to audition were very very bad! Worse than the Kuching auditions? True ah? If any of you saw the programme on Sunday, gimme a summary of it. Will there be any repeats? I wanna get some cheap laughs :P Muahahahaha!!!

Image from The Star

Went out for lunch with my family - had duck rice @ Restoran Sunrise, Sea Park. *slurp slurp* Man, the duck was heavenly. Just thinking about it can make me drool all over my keyboard *oops, there goes one drop...* This place sells the absolute more delicious of all duck rice. The duck, fulamak... the duck is damn juicy & succulent. The skin, some cripsy, some fatty (oh boy!). And the soup... man, the soup! "Ham-choy-tong" otherwise known as "Salty vegetable soup" goes extremely well with the duck.

My bf & I reached the restaurant first, cos we went to Wangsa Maju for a while, then came back up to PJ. I told my sis to pick my mum and other sis from home and we met at Sunrise. Man, I was there at 12pm and it was already so damn crowded. There were several people either waiting for tables, or waiting for their "ta-pau" orders. Very very good business, and this place has been like this for so many years. We ordered one whole duckie (the owner knows my mum very well) and rice and soup. Yea, we're regulars there. My dad loves their duck. Previously they also served "char-siew" or better know as BBQ pork. Remember a restaurant called "Charn-See-Foo"? It has folded I think, but when they first started, CSF stole Sunrise's "char-siew guru". Well, CSF is long gone, but Sunrise no longer serves "char-siew", which didn't matter cos their business wasn't affected at all (by looking at the crowd).

The duck, oh yea.... the duck. Considered one of the most fattening and cholesterol laden of all poultry. Classified under red meat category. Walks with a very big butt (and very smelly one, cannot eat the backside). Meat is juicy, succulent and deliciously roasted, the aroma so pungent. The Star has a write-up about the place so check it out here. I promise you won't be disappointed. Oh, it's non-halal. So... did I make you drool :P *hyuk hyuk* Now I feel like eating duck...

Airport Limo Service Needs Help
Picture taken from The Star.
Now we all know about KLIA's limo service. Just call their number, reserve a limo on the specific date you want, inform them the time and whatever necessary information like name & contact number, and the limo will be at your doorsteps to take you to KLIA and board your flight. That's the actual procedure of course. But... living in a country where everything is "Boleh!", sometimes this limo service is downright disappointing.

My 1st experience with booking a limo was way cool (that was back in 2001). I was sharing the limo with 2 other friends (split the cost, cheaper mar), and I made the reservations for a limo to pick us up from one location. The limo driver contacted me personally and we agreed on a specific time for him tomeet and fetch us to the airport. All went well, the driver reached about 40 minutes earlier and called me, giving me assurance that he's laready there waiting for us. Cool, I thought. But lately, I find the service rather poor, especially if you want to reserve a limo. A few times my bf had to go on business trips, so naturally he will call & reserve a limo. The driver doesn't call you anymore. Come that day, the limo doesn't turn up! Twice this happened, twice my bf had to call Airport Limo Sdn Bhd and complained and they sent another cab, those normal cabs you see on the road. But you pay the same limo rate! Quite a ripoff right? You asked for a limo, limo *ffk, taxi come instead. But you pay full limo rate.

I've also experienced before, I called & reserved a limo for 6.30am. Thet gave me the driver's number, but the line is not active! Frustrated, I called and complained and another number was given to me. This time, nobody picked up. WTF!. Fine, I had other contacts for other cabs so I let it be. Come that early morning, the limo driver called me up, say he'll be there at 6.30am. It's kinda frustrating to never know whether or not the limo will come you know. It's like you're playing a guessing game. "Gee, will the limo turn up?"

And now Airport Limo Service will introduce their "super limousine service" by the end of the year. And what car would your ass be possibly sitting in - none other that the Jaguar S Type (see picture above). So, if their normal limo can go *MIA, what if the Jaguar you reserved also *ffk? Be sure your pockets are deep enough to cough up the Jaguar rate then.

Actually, most of the limos are no running on Natural Gas (NGV), so their cost is very cheap. I sat a normal taxi oso, the driver went to fill his tank with NGV, aisay... RM5 almost full tank. And he can travel so far (I heard RM10 of NGV can achieve mileage of about 200km?). Why is it that we're still paying so much for limo rides?

*MIA - Missing In Action
*ffk - "fong-fei-kei" in cantonese. Means MIA as well.

Everybody's Falling Sick
That's right, all thanks to the haze. Some are either coughing or sneezing. One of my colleague has gone home - MC (Medical leave). My sister just got back from school, called me up and said she's skipping tuition, not feeling well. Aii... one by one people are falling sick. Bad bad, the weather's really bad these days. Staying indoors also may not help, what with people around you coughing and sneezing, especially in an office. What to do? Start popping more Vitamin Cs and drink plenty of liquid.

Excuse me while I go hunting for Vitamin C...

A Hazy Week
The haze is back. Man... Especially on Monday, just look out the window and look into the skies. Dust. Haze. It's like a thick cloud of vapour hovering above your heads. When I was on my way back home on Monday at about 7.30pm, man... you should've seen the environment. The colour was like brownish! Everything was fuzzy. Makes you think what the heck is going on...

Oh, my bf is back from his business trip (US). He bought some really cute stuff for me *hehe*. And they're all from Victoria's Secret! Muahahahahaha!!! It was kinda like a suprise, cos I didn't ask him to buy me anything. I have been looking at Victoria's Secret's website, and boy, they have sooooo many nice stuff. Soooooo tempting :P Plus they're having their sale now (sale: magic words for women HYUK HYUK!!!) So what did he get me, you asked? Well, for startes, some "stretch mesh string bikini" - panties lar. So cute! USD20 for 4. Don't convert ok, just don't convert. Plus he got me this pyjama pants which was cute too, draw-string type, very very soft. And some hand & body lotion which smells great. Yummy... :P Ok, for the men out there, women, ALL women (your mum, sister, wife, girlfriend, aunty, lady boss etc)... we all have this weird excitement when it comes to lingerie ok. It's a natural in-born thing, so don't complain. We're built that way :P *snigger* You want us to look & feel good also, right?

Now I'm looking through VS's website, and picking some stuff out... err... hehehe... Cos my bf will probably have to fly back to US some time next month for another event. And... hehehe... maybe I'll ask him to drop by VS's outlet to get an item or two :P *giggles* I would get some bras, but I always feel it's a better idea to be able to try the bras out for yourself to see the fitting. Otherwise, just buying off the online catalogue, a bit risky. The bra might not fit, the cutting maybe not suitable etc. Heh :)

Oh, the GMail invite contest ends today at 5pm (GMT +8 hours). I will announce the winners tomorrow morning.

Malaysian Idol Wannabe
Sunday, my dad was flipping channels (a.k.a Channel Surfing) when he caught sight of the Malaysian Idol programme. The audition was in Kuching, Sarawak and the 2 hosts were introducing the place and the auditions and bla bla bla. I don't follow that programme so we could be watching a rerun of it but who cares.

So there was my dad, sitting on his usual couch, observing the contestants and the looks in each judges faces when each new contestant starts to sing. Mind you, most CAN'T sing even if their lives depended on it :P Some were downright horrible, some were just passable, a few probably had some potential. That's the result of watching William Hung perform! Now everyone wants to be like him! ROTFL with MsLUITA. But then again, this is the Malaysian Idol. No one's stopping you from participating. You could be a janitor or a street sweeper. Even a guy who built the Malaysian Idol set took part (by the way, he failed miserably). One guy came all the way from Penang just to prove the judges wrong (he failed the Penang audition and was told he can't sing, and he got angry & felt so insulted). Well, this time apparently he did much better and qualified to the next round.

Probably the most interesting of all contestants was this chubby chinese girl. She was full of enthusiasm, brimming with confidence and really into the auditions. But she can't sing for nuts! HAHA! She really can't sing at all, no voice, no style, zilch. Of course the judges will say you got no potential bla bla bla, try again next time (in short, get out before I kill you). At first she refused to budge, insisting that she be given one more chance. Then she started raving about the judges being sucky and making a huge mistake for letting talent like hers go. She even said she disliked Paul Moss and that he was like Simon Cowell, only not so funny. She whined some more until she walked out of the room. Outside, she kept whining & complaining that the judges were being unfair, and that she didn't understand how they judge people bla bla bla. Talk about thick skin/kiasu. Hehe...

Bet you didn't realise so many people acually aspire to be singers. Well, we all can't be singers right? If everyone of us were to be singers, there won't be any fans to buy our albums. Maybe your talent lies elsewhere.

Contest dateline Deadline - 23 June
I realise the contest to obtain my GMail invites is relatively very easy :P Also, it was a mistake on my part when I typed that the dateline deadline is 25 June. It's suppose to be 23 June instead. My deepest apologise. Also, I was informed that there was a small spelling error which has since been rectified. So keep your entries coming, folks! Still got 2 days!

*I stand corrected.

iBook Encounter
A colleague (AE) of mine from downstairs just bought herself a spanking new iBook G4 valued at about 4K++. Apparently the top guns had requested for her to undertake a course which syllabus also include stuff like multimedia. The iBook was delivered jsut now and our supplier was teaching her how to operate it.

Supplier: Now you type your password here... bla bla bla...

Me: Hey, wassup? Heard you're taking some course. *admires the new toy*

AE: Yea, the course is actually (course name). So I got the Mac laptop. Mobile you know.

Me: Why didn't you get a normal notebook? Mobile oso mar. Price factor you know.

AE: *blur sotong look* What do you mean "normal notebook"? You mean get a PC? But I want mobile wan.

Me: I know mobile. I meant get a PC notebook instead.

AE: *blur sotong look* This is a laptop, a Mac.

Me: I know it's a Mac. What I meant was, you could've gotten a normal laptop (it's obvious she doesn't understand the term notebook, so better switch term) oso mar.

AE: But I need to install all the softwares and graphics?

Me: *trying damn hard not to laugh* You can install into a laptop oso. PC version lar.

AE: Izzit?

TGIF
Yes, thank god it is Friday. What a week... Now I'm feeling rather sleepy. The weather's not helping much too. And my colleague is spreading his yawning disease!!! LOL. *yyyaawwwnnnn* On days like these, I just wanna lie down on my soft soft bed, hug my pillows, and dream away...

I have hamsters at home, and sometimes I like watching them when they're asleep. I think they have hamster dreams too... cos sometimes, I see their mouths and paws moving :P It's so funny & cute at the same time. Their eyes will be shut tight, but their mouths are as though they're nibbling onto something, their nose twitching and paws will be like they're holding onto some food. How adorable huh? Wonder what are they dreaming of... a garden full of fresh sunflower seeds & grains perhaps? I read in a pet forum that when hamsters die, they all go to a place called "The Rainbow Bridge". Over there, are many many other hamsters who've previously passed on to the other world. The place is paved with sunflower seeds and grains, and all the hamsters are very happy and jumping around, playing with each other. How sweet :)

Busy Week
Man... this week was kinda hectic. Had to rush some old jobs out, prepare presentation materials... phew! Finally I can take a breather. I was chatting with my bf (who's currently in Alabama on a business trip), and he was asking me if I wanted anything from Victoria's Secret. Yup, the sexy lingerie brand from the US. I browsed through the site and man... so many lovely lovely stuff to choose from! I didn't know where to start! LOL So many sexy stuff, I don't dare buy for fear my mum would complain if she sees it! Of course I won't wear when my parents are around lar, but I don't want them to see it! So I picked a few cute pyjama sets, very cute & nice indeed. Plus they're having their sale now so... ehehehe :P

Oh my gawd! Where the f*** does all these stupid people come from! This freaking workplace is so full of shitheads! DOINKS! I just "taruh" one Account Manager for being stupid & pathetic. Cool cool... Saturday got interview *wink* Better prospects lies ahead of me... ehehehhe :P

Euro 2000 Mania!
"Wife sees red over hubby's passion for the game" - One of today's major headlines. Apparently, the hubby sneaked out of bed at night and caught the Euro 2000 on tele. He then went to the kitchen, grabbed some drinks & food and proceeded to watch the match, all without his wife knowing of course. Since he was an ardent fan of England (which lost to France), he made quite a racket when his favourite team lost, and woke his wife up. His wife duly came downstairs, grabs the remote control and whacked her hubby out of anger. She also hid the Astro decoder smartcard! LOL. After the "attack", the hubby seeked help of the MCA Public Complaints bureau chief, Khoo Seng Hock. Poor guy. The wife forces him to sleep early cos he has to take his kids to school in the morning. The wife refuses to let him watch football eventhough he had promised not to shrink from his responsibilities, so he had no choice but to watch behind her back.

Hubby: *tip tap tip tap* Must be very very quiet... *takes chips & beer from kitchen* *turns on TV* *watch live telecast*

Hubby: Go England, GO! WTF!!!!

Wife: *snort grunt* Huh?!? *turns to see hubby* Eh, that fella went to watch football!!! Niameh!!! *runs downstairs* WTF are you doing! I said no football! *flares nostrils*

Hubby: *gulp* Sorry honey. I promise I won't oversleep. I will fetch the kids to school mar... *shudder*

Wife: Gimme that remote! *whack whack whack whack* HAAAIIIIYYAAAHHH!!!

Hubby: Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! *sob sob sob sob* But I love football...

Wife: Football lah! *kick kick kick* *bish bish bish* Niameh...!!!

On another note, the latest snatch thief victim in Johore succumbed to her head injuries. She didn't regain consciousness. So sad... my condolences to her family. I hope the snatch thieves rot in hell and may their limbs get gangrene/leprosy and just fall out. May they get struck by lightning when riding their bikes. KAPOW!

GMail Goes to eBay!
Now we all know that in order to have a GMail account, you gotta be invited to have one. And since GMail is still under beta stage, you can't just sign up to have one. Due to this fact, some of us have the priviledge to have a GMail account, while the rest of us just have to wait until Google finalises everything and officially launches their new webmail service. What's all the buzz about GMail? Well, for one you get to have 1GB of email space (that's 1000MB), less ads, and their user interface is very fast and clean. And it's Google!

Problem is this: Now as Gmail account holders, sometimes GMail will allow you to invite 2-3 friends to try out Gmail as well. Pretty cool huh? I've so far invited a couple of friends to try out GMail. And the latest fad is this... Some GMail account holders are actually auctioning off their invites to the highest bidders! Yup, if you're so desperate to sign up for a GMail account, just head over to eBay and bid for it. Talk about ripoffs. GMail invites are going for between USD 65 - USD 125!!! Maybe I don't understand their desperation cos I'm already a Gmail account holder... but to pay so much just for an account is a little too much, don't you think? And I feel that those auctioning off their invites are being very manipulative. If you really want a GMail account, just be little but patient and wait for their official launch. I read some comments saying they don't mind paying big bucks for the account just so they can register the ID of their choice before it gets taken up. Bear in mind that the ID you key in has to be at least 6 characters long (minimum).

For those in Malaysia, if you don't wanna bid for it, you can try taking part in some local contests to get those invites, courtesy of some local bloggers: Sixthseal, Sashi & LcF. Good luck!

Boycott
When I entered Form 1, the seniors saw us as potential targets. Not to be bullied lar. But we were potential candidates poised to join clubs such as Leo Club & Interact Club. During my time, Leo Club was considered the utmost elite of all clubs in school. Prestige, popularity, the limelight (woohoo!). Sounds like something out of Beverly Hill 90210 huh? *snigger* During class intervals/free periods, the seniors would come around each Form 1 class and start to introduce the club and its functions and what nots. The mission of the club, the values, the activities, the people etc. Of course right from the moment we started Form 1, we have already heard about Leo Club and its popularity. Like hello! It was "THE" club to join at that time.

Now joining the club was one thing. Problem was... it wasn't a simple task joining Leo Club. Over the years, the people in the club had made it so much so like a prestigious club, that the choice of members became very selective. You had to PROVE you were worthy to join the club. You had to PROVE you are part of the elite crowd and that you're part of the"gang". You had to learn their songs exactly the way they are, you had go through interviews and be interrogated as to why you wanna be part of Leo Club. It wasn't just "I wanna join Leo Club under a voluntary basis" thing. It was more of "We decide whether you fit the club image". Many of my friends started practising the Leo songs during class breaks and memorising whatever there was to memorise. Everyday without fail, they would gather at the back of the class and practise singing and bla. Naturally, they all got into the club :)

I was the odd one out. I didn't agree with the way Leo Club members manage the organisation. As far as I know, Leo Club was an international body. It's actually a club where a person is given the chance to give back to society. So why is it that I have to PROVE that I'm qualified to join the club? Shouldn't the choice be from the heart? What's image & popularity got to do with anything? I join a club because I want to, not because I wanna be under the limelight. The method that was chosen by my seniors were all wrong. Whoever that started all those prestige shit about Leo Club ought to be shot in the head. Read more about Leo Club here.

I had to join some sort of club cos it was compulsory to fill the goddamn curiculum book at that time. So I joined the squash club :P And also English Literary & Debating Society later during my senior years. That also I was a bit of a black sheep cos I didn't like the way the teacher in charge was playing favourtisim *heh* I'm not completely the rebellious type. Just that certain things I don't agree on due to the method chosen and being me, I tend to stand up for it and walk my own path instead of following the crowd and become "just another sheep". Even if it means sometimes I have to walk alone :) Yea I'm stubborn, apa buat, horse mar :P

Of Popularity & The Opposite
Remember how in high school, we're kinda divided into groups? We have to studious group, always with a book. We have the smart people group, born smart, intellectual and popular with the teachers. We have the naughty group, always playing truant and breaking school rules. And then we have the vain group, models wannabe, all high and mighty, I'm pretty and I sure damn well know it. My old school was full of such a group - The Bitch Group.

Coming from an all-girl school, my old school is notorious of attracting rich kids & churning out bitches (hence the "bitch-school" title LOL). Every year, there's bound to be a new group of models-wannabe. Such a group would normally consist of a few close knitted girls (who most of the time can't study for nuts), who believes that they are god-send creatures with perfect bodies, perfect smiles and perfect fashion sense. And of course, rich kids. Don't ask me how they got such ideas, they just do. Must be a cult thing, maybe drinking each other's blood to forge a strong bond/sisterhood with each other *shrugs* They were popular with the boys as well, since there was a famous boys school nearby.

The girls would only mingle with each other and no one else. To them, the rest of us were merely puny miserable creatures living on the same planet as them. I couldn't care less about them as I mingle with my own crowd (I'm a very low profile kinda person). I remember there was once our school had some sort of function, and the models-wannabe came up with the idea of a fashion show. So the school hall was turned into a fashion runway for a while and behold! The group was walking and sashying their way with all the glamour & oh-look-at-me-I'm-so-pretty-and-sexy attitude. I was told some of the girls were bra-less at that time too, but I didn't see it for myself cos I skipped the function.

Aaaahhhhh~~~ The sweet memories of growing up. Actually, I was one of the very few rebellious type, the black sheep. I didn't join clubs like Leo or Interact (I boycott them), will tell you guys about it next time.

Just An Idea...
Ever had one of those days, a sudden thought comes into your head, and gets you all excited about it? It's like "Eureka! This could work!". The idea hits you smack in the head, concepts start to build intensely, the possibilities are there, hey... this could work. And you start telling yourself the idea is pretty good. Your heart jumps, your eyes flash, and you start smiling like an idiot in front of the computer screen.

I'll be away for the weekend. I'll catch you guys next week, after my short break. Cya!

RM209mil Wedding - Is it for you?
I was on the way to work this morning and tuning into Mix.fm. The deejays were commenting about billionaire steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal (whoever that is), recently ranked 5th richest man in Britain, who is planning an extravagant wedding celebration for his 23 yr-old daughter & fiance. The price tag: 30 million pounds (RM209mil). He had apprently spared no expenses in making sure his daughter's wedding be "truly spectacular", a promise from rich ol' daddy. Quote taken from The Star Online "... the Indian-born businessman has spared no expense by hiring the 17th-century Vaux le Vicomte, acknowledged as "the finest chateau and garden" in France for the nuptials..." Gosh, what a nice daddy this guy is. So ever willing to spend 30 million pounds for his dear daughter's wedding celebration.

You know what I think? I think this is all bullshit. You heard it right the 1st time: BULLSHIT. You spend 30 million pounds in a freaking wedding. Was it all even necessary? Oh, I forgot, you're the 5th richest man living in Britain now. Gotta make your presence felt, right? Gotta make sure everyone in Britain (and the world for that matter) know you. Like Beckham & Victoria style. Hear me! I'm RICH. I spent 30 million pounds on my daughter's wedding! On your knees, fellow commoners! 30 million pounds on a freaking wedding, when most of the money could be put to better use. Like funding poor & needy school children. Feeding the hungry, giving funds to Care.org, setting up funds to help poor people stricken with illnesses like cancer, education funds for the poor, healthcare for the sick & needy. Preserving our wildlife & nature. And f***ing hell, feed your own people in India! They're living in dire straits and you're throwing your money like water!

The same goes for superstars like actors & singers. They buy huge rocks & huge mansions everywhere, but never have you heard them contributing to saving the planet or helping the poor/sick. Oh no, that's too low. I can't sink to that level, what will people say? I better buy another mansion complete with the latest hi-tech gadgets, 20 rooms, gold-plated door knobs and carpeted ceilings, more worthwhile. Let the poor/sick die, they're gonna die anyway. Let the forest die, I don't like the humidity anyway. When my kid gets married, I will spend 50 milion bucks! Gotta beat that Indian British fella! *Kiasu!

*Kiasu - slang for can't lose

*POOF*
That's what my brain feels like now... fused. Grey matters fizzled out. Too tired to even think. I can't even type properly. And the weather today is not helping. It's so warm in the office. The air-con gets cranky during hot weathers. The room get stuffy & humidity kicks in. Resulting in the people within the perimetres of the office cranky as well. We start to get on each others nerves & tails. Grrrr... Snaarrrllll...!!! Like wild beasts, we snarl at each other, baring our animal instincts. We show our claws and sharp teeth. Then, unable to control our wild nature, we lunge at each other's throats, screaming & kicking. Survival of the fittest they say. We rip out the arms and legs of those we despise, making sure they can never walk again. We rip the skins of their backs, exposing their bare flesh. We grab them by their throats, choking them as we dig our claws into their chest, ripping their hearts out and watching their blood oozing onto the keyboards and onto the carpets. They scream bloody murder, they shout, they kick, they resist. The temptation is far too much to resist. We sink our teeths into their flesh, ripping out their muscles, tendons and ligamens. They scream for mercy, but they're not getting any. One by one, they succumb to their deaths. A slow... painful... bloody... death...

Ok, so it's a lame story. I'm tired lah! Wanna go home...
