im goin to pip now

tis time of the year, wad else to write besides wad had happened throughout the year ending tomorrow =D

haha... im actually reading back wad i've written early this year, '2006 was..'. lol. the 1st thing - McD's prosperity beger is OUT again liau! LOL.. 'tham-ciaknyeee me'! LOL. and im surprised how a fren can stil remember how much i love this beger and even reminded me last nite tat its out oledi. my gudiness! BEEFIE ones nt yet ler! dun like chicks =P

anwy, me stucked here 'happily' working already too... with tat lil plan of mine - considered achieved halfway? i duno wads the best term to describe it. hehe... nvm.

ha! another road accident - same case - being hit in the bum. but this one, the driver paid, at lis. hehe... and shud i say, an experience gained too? =D

went sabah - GREAT!

went kayaking - AN EXPERIENCE I SHALL NVR FORGET.

went on a 'semi-blind' date - A NEW FREN MADE.
tat is all. or shall i call it 'tinted' date? specky-date? LOL...! hahaha. apa apa lah. not a blind one dusi liau. hahaha... (ntg more, so do not bombard me with questions on this. hehe... i wont layan. and if u read my blug, u will be able to 'sense' the period of time it happened. hehehe... NOTE: i DONT play blind ones, dun worry. hehe...)

wahhh, been a year since i first unveiled my sketchbook! time rili flies. NEVER rili liked to 'share' stuffs about myself, but so far, its been nice. no regrets (yet). hehe... even SILENT TREAT-ED a very good close pal who somehow discovered my blug BEFORE i 'announced it publicly'! LOL.. kesian him. (not only silent treatment, i tink. thung khoi fan min thim! whahahahaha! ldm here!)

and its also been a year since korea - A NEW DISH 'FAVORITED'! (haha... am actually munching kimchi as i write this! how nostalgic!)

YAY! a NEW 'set' of annual leaves liau! fresh new set (coz i finished/advanced my 2007 annual leaves in 2006). haha... gona treasure my 14 (only) precious days like wad lidat liau! hahaha...

my lil sis completed her foundy liau, now in 1st year graphic design, and she knows the directions in kl like a taxi driver liau. i tink, much better than a taxi driver! LOL... for real! (i suspect arr... she must be adopted, for my elder sis n i are both so buta-arah! LOL. jk!)

'pampered' meself with a new hp, the FIRST hp i bought. hehe... surprised ler? the previous 5 were all gifts from my khaima. hehe... lucky? nah... im not lucky, im blessed.

oh, i somehow managed to keep to my 2007's resolution - no more 'verbal war' in the office with my boss, esp since the 2nd half of the year. LOL. i rili amazed myself too. haha... so drastic the change til both my boss n mrs boss noticed! haha. speaking of the very goodie-girl-me. LOL. haha... (except for the 40mins-late-for-work habit!)

...wich, i plan to improve (SLIGHTLY) too. cut down by half! 20mins. tat is good enuf for me.

and honestly, i find it a small 'delight' tat ppl actually enjoy reading wad i wrote, and better still, commenting. no matter how 'emo' i were sometimes... lol, and NO MATTER HOW '3-HOUR LONG' my posts are (like this one!) or no matter how boringly unrelated some posts were to them (coz they can js skip n not read? i know. hehe...)

and, i take it as a compliment (dun care if they're trying to sindir me or wad) wen ppl tell me tat "you are like how you sounded in ur writings!" hehe... (i tink arr, indirectly, these kinda comments are saying tat 'i talk to my computer' like i talk to a human?) hehehe... dun care! haha... jk! (actually, im not very good at socializing with new / not-so-familiar ppl. true!)

okie... long post is coming to an end. its gona be a holiday again on tuesday! me so hepi hepi! *there's gona be a change in here too, soon. but in the meantime, read & forget wad i wrote here, and...

simple msgs

CONFIDENCE:
Once all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella...
That's Confidence.

TRUST:
Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air; he laughs.....because he knows you will catch him...
That's Trust..

HOPE:
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still we have plans for the coming day...
That's Hope..

1st thing 1st :

i am soooo devastated that my favorite-d team, brett & kinar had been eliminated from amazing race asia 2! =( such a sad thing to know! and watch! hmmmph. love to see how amazingly impossibly supportive they are of each other! but they were just so! too bad they wont be in the race anymore! *sob *sob

MFEO. the very good-looking & sweet couple... but eliminated! =(

anwy, the buzz arnd the lil kuching town nowadays - the opening of the 2 major shopping complexes. heheh... boulevard, set to open on 19 DECEMBER! spring, 9 january. (no, we do not deal with with any of em directly, except for one retail shop for s). anwy, many, if not all contractors involved are very very skeptical whtr they can finish all the works-in-progress by then, esp with xmas n raya haji n nw yr arnd the corner. and its so cute to hear em pronounce boulevard as 'bo-li-bard'. hehe... rili cute. one week, to bolibard's opening. niiiccceeeee.... *wink *wink... (and these two buzzes caused us to 'softly' decline new jobs from coming in, coz our sub-cons are too tied with em. tat is how hectic their schedules are).

ah, checking out the soon-to-be in outlets in spring, incomplete list still. me looking fwd to, among others; Kluang Station, L'Occitane, The Manhattan Fish Market, MPH Bookstores, NOSE, Sushi King. wud have prefered metrojaya or isetan o robinson's or anytg else, better than parkson la. need 2 parkson(s), 2 MNG(s) in one lil town mer? hehe... mng shud have been topshop-ed. hehe...

tonite part 02

anway, before reaching the toy shop, on the right, there's Greek's. bags shop. porkie n i went in, she wanna see some bags. once we walked into the shop, there were 2 policewomen, standing soooo selamba-ly near the rack. one of em with rifle (or watever), and she was clutching it sooo firmly.

the view is sumting like tis la except tat its malaysian cop uniform, and the officer in tudung...
(i tink i rmbr visuals more accurately).

i asked porkie, "fake gun?" cos it rili looked very plasticy! very very! so nvm lor. din notice antg weird except the two of em there. then, we walked in further, and sumting at the corner back of the shop caught our atention. we saw the store door with a huge big hole on it, as if being thrown with a huge stone lidat and there wer more policemen surroundin tat area, from wad i saw - A guy being held to the door, being body-checked, and duno wad wad...

imagine the wall as the door, and more police instead of one surrounding him. hehe...

was looking so siok-ly wen the salesgirl blocked my view. i shifted to the right, she did so too. i shifted to the left, she did so. after tat only i realised SHE WAS ACTUALLY TRYIN TO BLOCK PPL FROM NOTICING THE SCENE AT THE BACK! i din know ma... so, wen we realized its a real scene... we walked out lor. hehe... towards the toy shop pulak.

mana tauk, after a round in the toyshop, wen we walked out again, the entrance's been shut! hehe.. (shud have shut it wayyy earlier la).

and MANY MANY ppl were there to take a glimpse of the scene inside, including the newly-crowned miss 3.8., porkie. (pix blurrie. hehe.... using wadever mode i set previously. hehe...)

now i am C.U.R.I.O.U.S. wad really happened! hmmm...

Pineapple.

NATIONAL MOST MIS-PRONOUNCED NAME: (i love this one! haha. carryfour! LOL)
Carrefour. Sometimes even pronounced as Carry 4! On second thoughts, why bother pronouncing those French brands like Peugeot, Renault or Citroen correctly. I think it sounds better,when the local mechanics say "Pew Jeot". When I was in school, Milo was always 'Mee Lo', now that I'm sophisticated, I say "My Lo". So don't be embarassed saying "Carry 4" when the Mat Sallehs shamelessly pronounce orang utan as "rangutan".
