We had planned on a McD's lunch for today since last week.
Seems like everyone has these vouchers where you buy a large set, you are entitled to a free burger or nuggets, or McDippers, or sundae or apple pie.
Pretty good deal, so ok, McD's it is.

Then, at 11.58pm, in pranced Sui Lin gaily asking everyone what was for lunch today.
Everyone yelled, McD's!
Guess how Sui Lin reacted?

Sui Lin: OH NOOOOOOO. No thanks. I just watched Super Size Me last week and I just cannot stomach McD's now.
Everyone: What's this Super Size Me???
Sui Lin: Oh, just some lab test demonstrating different types of food being left out around to see how fast they get moldy or how soon maggots start feasting on them. McD's fries was one of it and guess what? Even after 2 weeks, the fries were still untouched and remained the same. This proves to show that McD's fries are not REAL FOOD. Ta-da.

Everyone looked at each other.

Joyce: Ok, let's go.
Me: Sui Lin, I tapau for you one Large Fries!

Hahahahahahha!

While seated at McD's devouring our burgers AND FRIES, we were discussing about Sui Lin's Super Size Me video.
Joyce: You know, if you want to block fries out of your diet, you must as well throw away your microwave oven because, anything that goes into it comes out a different thing. The molecule structure of the food changes and sometimes are not recognizable by our bodies therefore they are turned into toxins.

Joyce went on explaining about this experiment:

2 potted plants - A and B
1 normal tap water
1 boiled water in the microwave oven, left to cool down to room temperature

Pour normal tap water on potted plant A.
Pour boiled water from microwave oven on potted plant B.
Repeat this for 1 week.
Results: Plant A grows and thrives while Plant B wilts away.

Just the other day, I received this email:

CORRECT METHOD
The CORRECT method, which you should know is to cook the noodles this way:-

The strangest thing happened to me this morning.
And I am sure most of you probably would have gone through it.

Last night, before hitting the sack I have already picked up the clothes for tomorrow's work.
A white collared top paired with either pants / skirt.

So there I was in the morning, all chirpy (but sleepy!), slathering on my Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, my eyes caught sight of the white top.
Done with the face, washed my hands and picked up the white top to inspect it.
"Hmm looks kinda crumpled. Do I have enough time to iron it? Yeah, probably later."

I, then went on to comb my hair, plucked some eyebrows, winced at the milia seeds at the bottom of my eyes and having done all that, I decided to grab the white top for a quick ironning.
And, guess what?

I T ' S  M I S S I N G!

I searched the WHOLE room, gave the bed comforter a good big flap to be certain the top wasn't trap under it, checked the drawers and wardrobe, and I even looked under the bed.

G  O  N  E 
hilanggg

I swear I DID NOT even step out of the room.
So it has to be still INSIDE the room
I am just so frustrated. Wasted 30 min just ransacking the whole room and still have not found it.
Mr Tay even helped to search but to no avail.
"You know, when you find it later, you're going to slap yourself silly."
"Cannot be la! Searched the whole damn room and I did not even stepped out of the room! Which pixie or imp took it! So early got hantu is it!"

Just too bizarre for my liking for a Thursday morning.
Anything like this ever happened to you ladies???

So, I'm in a green top now.
And Mr Tay the Copycat decided to be funny so he wore green too.

I have been very sick over the weekend.
And honestly, I've never been this sick for the longest time.
So sick that even my mom had to bathe me.
And she had not done so in 18 years
Shame shame, says Mr Tay.

This morning, while she was cooking 'meen sin soup' for me, I lifted up my top and...

Me: Mi, see... my tummy so flat *poke poke at tummy*
Mi: So, happy la?
Me: *happy*

I'm getting stronger and better.
And I miss Mr Tay.

I couldn't reply to all 3 of your comments below due to some technical error, so here goes la!

1st comment:
Yes, damn him!

2nd comment:
Yes, I know you and him were looking for a place and really liked one of the units, I'd say "Go for it Jomel!"

Gosh, I've been toying with the idea of engaging an ID too but I'm on a budget to get everything I need for the place so, ID idea has to be scraped off  You got ID friends who wanna do some charity work? Hahahha!

Induction hobs are cool right! No more icky sticky oily residue just like how they stick on the conventional stoves. Mr Tay said they don't come cheap though.

Yay, hi 5! White kitchen is the way to go la! Not hard to clean Jomel, I know coz Mr Tay's kitchen cabinet is white too and he has been staying there for 3 years. Though occasionally having someone (i.e. Me the Maid) to wipe and clean helps maintain its whiteness la

Yes, you have the big sista and cute little FeiMui so, you'd be utilizing the kitchen more without a maid. Eh, why not hire a maid for a twice a month home cleaning? I'm planning to do that. It's only about RM60 - 80 for a twice-a-week per month cleaning. It is really good enough, coz the place I'm staying at currently, she comes every Tues, sweep + mop, scrub the toilet, kitchen cabinet, take out the trash, dust the shelves, etc. Would certainly lighten your load having two kids around

IKEA! Yes! Eh don't go first. Mr Tay said to wait for the August big sale. Apparently, Ikea's biggest sale happens every Aug of the year. Eh if you bump into me, can you recognize me? Coz I surely can recognize you and little feimui!

3rd comment:
Eeeeeeee.... same name as Mr Tay! No wonder you refer to him as "D". At first I thought D = Darling  Did you know Mr Tay used to be in IBM? Perhaps Your D knows My D and vice versa! Hehe.

I love this feature so so much. All you have to do is after obtaining this card, go to the service counter situated at the New Wing, and have your card reloaded.

So, get your OneCard today, it's only at a minimal fee of RM10.

Tan Chu Siang, you owe me lunch now.

Today looks and feels like colorful Candy Hearts

Lunch at Chuai Heng Restaurant @ 1 Utama, Old Wing was good!
All dimsum is at a cool 50% off!
So imagine if your bill comes to about RM50, you only pay RM25. Good deal I'd say!
Apparently according to Joyce, this promo has been going on for awhile now BUT 50% is only applicable during lunch time on weekdays.
So, I was thinking of bringing my parents here for dinner, but tak jadi lah then.

Anyways, these days we're busy with BF Searching For Sue
At least, I am - since I am the most sibuk and 'pat' one.
So, on the way to the restaurant just now, we spotted this very good looking guy boarding the same employee elevator as us.
I saw him and kept quiet. My brain went into a frenzy mode:
"Gosh, so lengchai! Perfect for Sue lah! But doesn't look like an IBM employee, no tag."
I gave Sue the 'knowing look'. She just smiled. That woman and I has this wavelength that is so tremendously in-tuned that even when I fart, she knows.

As we got off the elevator, I looked at her, she looked at me.
"Lengchai right!!!"
"Yeah he is. Looks like the good good boy type."
"Yeah! Kuai kuai face. Ngam la for you! But I don't think he's an IBM staff. Didn't see him wearing a tag."
"Yeah, I thought so too! Wah you so fast, scanned everything!"
"Ah but then! My eyes never miss a good looking guy." *shows schmuck face*

Anyways, go eat dimsum at Chuai Heng Restaurant @ 1 Utama lah.
The 50% promo is good. The dim sum even better, the prawns are so so fresh.

As we got out of the restaurant,

Angie: The leng chai not in sight already
Sue: Yeah I checked too
Sue Angie: Bwahahahhahaha!

Things are picking up nicely now.
I now have a little place to call my own.
And it is exactly 3 floors below Mr Tay's.

Girl: Hey, in a couple of months time, we're gonna be neighbours! Aren't you excited!
Boy: Oh. Joy.
Girl: I can, "Ding-dong, ding-dong, can I borrow some sugar please?"
Boy: Oh. Yay.
Girl: Oh oh, I can also, "Ding-dong, ding-dong, there're monsters underneath my bed. I sleep here tonight."

ha ha ha!

So many things to buy!
So many furnitures to look at. I hear IKEA. 
IKEA ---> church choir goes "Saleeeeeeeee"
IKEA ---> church choir goes "Saleeeeeeeee"
Don't know what I'm harping on, refer to radio ad on the Ikea Sale.

Sofa set, tv cabinet, that huge-ass refrigerator.
Do up the kitchen a bit. I've been wanting to have stoves like this!

Induction hobs

No     Yes

I love white kitchens

Mr Tay said I should be more practical in my decisions.
If I am not going to be cooking much at home, then kitchen renovation can wait.
Ok, so, my clothes, shoes and bags cannot wait.

So first on the priority list now is:
A Built-in Wardrobe.

My head says a built-in
but my heart wants a walk-in.
Oh woe.

I used to wonder how is it possible for someone to lose their appetite over some 'tragedies' in their lives.
I mean, hey you're bound to still feel hungry after all the hullabaloo, shits and whatnots right?!
All the cryings, sudden outburst of emotions, screamings, sighings, bitchings - they can only take so much of your energy and leave you extremely emotionally drained.
And tired.
So, how can you say you are not hungry? Don't feel like eating? Or better still, the overused term 'No appetite."

But I fully understand the term now.
So many things have happened lately, one shit after another, it just makes me so so so very tired from it all.
Each time I click on Create a New Entry, I am tempted to pour my agony all out within the confines of the little square box.

• I wanted to scream "Screw you!!! You story-changing bitch!" and "Screw you, you think your son is THAT innocent?!" at the pain-in-the ass landlady of mine.
• I wanted to curse the daylights out of the fucker who stole my laptop. Refer to angst statement above.
• I wanted to whine when I fell ill due to the fall that led to an infection of massive fever, cough, flu - all rolled into one.
• I wanted to have someone who'd knew exactly how shitty and depressed I felt over the past 2 weeks, just someone to know how was it like and that I was not crying alone - thank you, I had You.
• And I just wanted to cry it all out here.

But I just couldn't bring myself to type them down.
Apparently, somehow my hand-eye-brain coordination wasn't at its best behaviour.
I lost my appetite quite badly that I never felt hungry?
Had thought that I have gotten better but today's team lunch sponsored by The Boss at Penang Village, TTDI proved that I was wrong again.
How can you tell whether I've lost my appetite? Simple.
I DIDN'T ORDER MY FAVORITE RAINBOW ICE KACANG.
Everyone was having their fancy drinks, fruity concoctions and colorful blends while I only could manage a "Warm water please."

I also have a new habit.
I love staring into space. Can do it anytime and anywhere.

Oh yeah, did I mention that I was doing some serious property-shopping over the weekend?
I have one unit which I LOVE TO DEATH and is in the midst of Negotiation.
And if all goes well, I honestly think this would be a new turning point in my life.
It would certainly lift up this depression cloud I am currently under right now.

I hate the fucker who stole my laptop.
I hope that when he is nicely surfing using my x30 Thinkpad, the battery will explode and destroy his fcuking face.

I am psyching myself up for tomorrow.

Sat: The Crash
Sun: The Infection
Mon: The Stolen and The Stress
Today: The Extreme Stress

Tomorrow: The Verdict

Pardon me, but I'm just trying my very best to be ok.

The alarm rang at 6.15am and I was up, dashing about, getting changed while chomping onto 2 bananas.
6.45am - Adeline and Janice were downstairs.

Route: Genting Sempah also known as the old route up to Genting.
We were there first and set up our bikes and the rest of the gang only came about 30 min later.
Group members: Kris aka Uncle, Uncle Patrick and son Jason, Hin Tong, Calvin, Lizzie, Adeline, Janice and Myself.

This funny contraption carries with it two bikes with ease

Uncle Patrick's jeep with 2 bikes inside

Adeline's brand new red hot bike, bought for only RM1,900. Didn't manage to snap Lizzie's bike, apparently hers cost her 10K

I tell you, Genting-Sempah route is NOT easy!
The road was all winding up on a gradual climb and the were many signs of "AWAS, KAWASAN TANAH RUNTUH"
The edges didn't have a protective barrier so imagine if you lose control of your bike, down you go 60KM from above. I say, byebyeeee.

It was so difficult on the legs and stamina that there were numerous occasions where I just wanted to U-turn back and go all the way back.
But no, my stubbornness kept me going and Kris wouldn't allow me to stop saying, "See those monkeys up there?"
"Uh-huh."
"You stop, that's it. They will attack you."
Apa lagi, I kept going and going despite my legs were really dying on me!

So, minus the part where I saw a little black puppy injured by the roadside, a cat carcass, a sparrow carcass and a snake splatted over with the guts spilling all over the road, it was actually quite fun.

You would think coming down was a breeze?
I can assure you it was not.
As all of us were flying down, concentrating on just the tapping of the brakes and sharp corners, I crashed.

And I crashed alone. All by myself. The rest of them didn't see me crash and were flying off like Michael Schumacher at 1932034823 km/hr.

So, this is the wound on my right palm. Blood was just oozing out. It's black because the soil are stuck beneath the skin

My left albow and left leg shin. Leg was bleeding as well but it stopped after I cleaned it. Saw the bruise developing there? The area is getting more and more swelled up

I don't know how or what cut me but this is on my waist. It looked like stitches to me, hehe

What happened was, there were many little stones on the road and somehow, one of them got caught inside the wheels and I lost balance and got flung off to the side of the road and landed on, thank God, SOILED GROUND.

First thing I checked was, my face  No cuts or bruises, thank God.
Then, the next thing I felt was SOIL IN MY MOUTH!!! URGGHHHH!
Soil went into my left ear, soil ALL over my left shoulder, arms, waist and legs.
ALL ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.
Soil on my face too!!!

With my bleeding palm, shin and elbow, I was seriously thinking how was I going to go all the way back down, since it was still a really long long way more to go.
So, decided I'm not going to be a Princess about it, screw the pain and oozing blood, I hopped back onto the bike and rode on - this time much slower.

Somehow, Uncle Patrick realized I was missing and came back up to look for me, bless his kind soul
The rest were still speeding down, not knowing what had happened. Me and Uncle Patrick took it slow.
IT WAS STILL A LONGGGG WAY MORE TO GO.
I was just telling God,

GOD, please DON'T let me crash one more time!
Don't let stupid stones get trapped again!
Don't let me lose control despite relying more on my left hand now!
Don't let monkeys smell my blood and get psychotic.

Anyways, reached the bottom of the hill and all of us had mamak there. I just took water, not hungry as yet.
All in all we clocked in a good 60KM ride.
Janice dropped Lizzie and me off to our homes and I decided to take a quick shower before seeing the doctor.

I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MUCH 'FUN' IN THE SHOWER.
I'll just spare you the details, so let's just use your imagination:
Water + Wound = ?

Got myself to Doctor Koo.
HE PEELED AND TUGGED OFF THE FLAPPING SKINS AROUND THE WOUND AREAS AND MANNNNNNNN, IT WAS 'FUN' - ROUND TWO.
Asked me, "Pain or not?"
YOU SAY LEHHHH!
But, I muka tembok what, so replied haughtily, "Nope, no pain la."

He gave me so many pills la, I hate pills!
Antibiotic cream, antibiotic pills, gauze + sticking tape, and...

Doc: I think I should give you painkillers as well.
Me: Huh? I don't need it Dr, NO PAIN.
Doc: Trust me, they will hurt after awhile, especially at night when you're about to sleep. Because the wound on your palm is actually quite deep.
Me: !!!!!!!!! It will hurt more later, he said  Will I get infection???
Doc: Yes, of course! The soil trapped under your skin, those I can't clean ya. Our body is built in a way that it will reject foreign stuff so don't worry. But there will be infection.
Me: With pus and all???
Doc: Yes, with pus and all.
Me: *cry!*

What is a pus? *click*

Dr Koo took care of it

Then, some people can be so caring lor.
Me sent pics of my wound via MMS to that someone.
That someone replied via SMS and not call you know, " so poor thing. Sayang when I go back." and "You clumsy or hit car?" No calls.

Like. Seriously. WTF. Man.

Drove myself to the clinic using left hand.
After clinic went to Penang Village to feast because burnt like over 1000 calories, and I am not exaggerating.
And it was 2pm that time, so you could imagine since my two bananas, I had absolutely nothing.

Ordered Nasi Goreng which came with 2 small pieces of ayam goreng, telur mata kerbau, prawns and vege.
If my mom were to find out I ate eggs and prawns after having all these wound, she'd kill me. But I just couldn't be bothered lah. Me is no pantang pantang all
Then, Chin Ai bumped into me and decided to join me makan and she then headed on to this salon to do hair rebonding.

My right palm is stinging.
My WHOLE left leg, waist, hip and shoulders bruised and stinging.
And would I still want to go outdoor cycling, YOU BET!

On the way to the clinic, in the car...

*Hee hee* Ewww right?

Right now...

1. I am in dire need of a beach getaway.

   A promise I have been keeping to myself and the bf.
   Or rather a bet.
   He thinks I will crash within 2 months (sorry babe, it's been 3 months now)
   I say, I will give myself 6 months.

quaint lil boutique + kids art and craft centre + music centre

That's all.
