Back at home, we usually collect empty bottles of Coke, Sprite, etc and dump them in the recycling bins. I think that is one of the best environmental care practices  that everyone should adopt.

Do you ever wonder about what happens to the plastic items you recycle? High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a plastic that is commonly used in many every day products that can be recycled. HDPE Scrap is the material that is collected after the plastic has been collected and then sold so that it can be recycled. The bulk of scrap HDPE bought and sold comes in the form of HDPE Pellets.

Thankfully there are companies these days that make it easier for consumers to recycle plastic materials and help in conserving Mother earth by buying and selling recyclable materials.

Miss PF's dream:

Perfectly Flawed says:
got a mission for you: go search for my dream interpretation - dreamt i got married, not happy with the wedding arrangements, at first happy with dress later hate it, location was beautiful by the beach got clubhouse. my dress had flowers long sleeves, simple - grew to hate it. could not see the groom's face. it was windy. remember walking down the wooden staircase of the clubhouse.

My dream:

Me and 2 girlfriends (can't recall who!) were on the run. we were like fugitives. policemen were chasing us, banging from house to house searching for us. we had to carry many bags (our stuff) and we were anxiously waiting for a bus to disappear. we arrived at a different country. many years went by, we survived and beat the law.

such an exhausting dream!

anyone care to interpret our dreams???

today i took the cab home after work. usually to get a cab, i would need to walk to One Utama, right up to one of the entrances at the New Wing. the Armani entrance to be exact.

so as usual, i'd need to line up and wait for awhile. when it was almost my turn, this lady infront of me told the cab driver that she wanted to go to Kota Damansara. he said no. and then turned to ask me of my destination. i softly said, Damansara Perdana, thinking that since he wouldn't even want to go Kota Damansara, he'd most probably say no to DP.

but he said ok. so i happily hopped on and thanked my lucky stars.

ok, i'll get straight to the point. the cab driver speaks good English, probably around 32 - 36 and he is WEIRD. he kept stealing glances at me from his mirror because i could see from the corner of my eyes. i ignored it.

no, i did not ignore it. being the drama queen i am, i have already in my mind, formed and planned an Escape Route for myself.

1. Door unlocked. Checked.
2. Hands clutching tightly to bag and laptop. Checked.
3. Amount of courage needed to yank the door open and jump out of the car. Checked.

and so i waited. it was just a short distance, i need not worry much, i assured myself.

AND THEN I SPOTTED SOMETHING

you know how when you wear pants, it should reach slightly below your waist? i swear, his pants was sooooooo low. the top of his pants was buckled (or not buckled, i don't know!) like somewhere around his crotch maybe??? i KNOW because i could SEE the whole 2 - 3 inches chunk of his side thigh flesh flashing back at me!

eww!

at this point i was already thinking, shit. he might wanna flash his dick at me. fark, what do i do, what do i do.

and then, it just got better. he turned a bit to the right to grab something that fell on the floor of the car. god knows what it was, i don't give a damn. BUT I DO GIVE A DAMN TO WHAT I SAW STARING BRIGHTLY BACK AT ME!!!

HE, A MID-30s MAN WAS WEARING A LEOPARD PRINTED UNDERWEAR WITH PINK LACE TRIMMINGS AROUND IT!!!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! MY EYES!!!

and it wasn't the manly kinda leopard printed underwear ok. the material was just like my La Senza panty! soft, with the chiffon-ny see through type.

OMG. he is a pervert!!! i swear, no sane and straight guys i know would wear an underwear LIKE THAT! with pink lace trimmings around it! arrghhh, the image is very disturbing!

cross-dresser perhaps? outwardly, he looked like any normal man. i just know he is sick and probably aftering innocent girls. BECAUSE...

right before i got down, he asked me whether i always take a cab there to go back to DP. i said sometimes. he then told me that i could contact him whenever i need a cab because, "heehee, driving taxi is only part time for me. around evening, i'm usually around One Utama area, so if you need a cab, you can call me."

ohhh kayyyy... like i will ever call you!!! pervert who kept stealing glances at me! but of course i say nothing of that. i replied, yeah sure. and he proceeded to write his contact number down on a paper. "i'm Lim. and you are?"

"Samantha."

i got off the cab and usually, actually all the time, 2 seconds after you get off any cab, they'd normally speed off. but not Lim. he stayed on and i took a swift glance to check whether he was observing me, and gawd he was! even waved me goodbye. WTF!!!!!!!!

the amount of drama a girl needs to go through just to get home via public transportation. i think i just aged 5 years!

this is Jolin Ng aka Shen Shen
(named after the Taiwanese singer, Jolin Tsai coz the daddy loves Jolin Tsai)

this is mr tay doing a good job

and this is mr tay not doing a very good job

i just saw jolin a couple of weeks back before CNY and she was tiny! look how much she has grown. pics were taken during CNY at batu pahat while i was at ipoh.

next weekend i'm going to see her again! this weekend, mr tay and i are going to buy somemore cutesy baby clothes for her. she outgrew the 3 pairs of very very adorable baby socks we bought her.  Lil' Drool Sergeant was bought by her daddy.

• mr tay doesn't seem very keen on Amazing Race. he has not even mention about it nor chase me to finish up with the application. not even ONCE. the deadline is on 25 Feb. i don't want a so unenthusiastic partner
  
  
• i am extremely put off by bad restaurant services.

Soho at One Utama
Soho at One Utama might not be the case of bad service, but more of bad food hygiene. Sue's friend who dined in recently with her family and a whole lot of relatives were hit by severe food poisoning that left them bedridden for weeks. purging and vomitting. not 1 or 2 of them - but ALL of them. they are planning to sue Soho now.

The Banquet, Bangsar Village 2
Sue's bro and wife made reservation for 2 for dinner. they arrived, sat down and waited to be served. waited very long in fact. then, there were 2 tables that arrived later than them. guess what? the waiters went to take their orders first! and this was not the bad part yet.

Sue's bro then went to the front counter and complained to this girl manning the counter. SHE COMPLETELY IGNORED HIM! he spoke again, just incase she didn't hear him but again, and she totally ignored him while PRETENDING TO WRITE SOMETHING ON A BOOK! wtf! patrons who passed by the counter overheard him told him to, "don't waste your time. we experienced the same thing."

i wish i was there. i will definitely make her cry.

• i bought somemore CDs! it's a 5-in-1 compilation album. 5 CDs to be exact. i love many many different songs and artistes in an album. it's like i hardly enjoy single artiste CDs where i will most probably only enjoy 2 or 3 songs from the album. so totally not worth buying them. UNLESS they are geniuses like Rachel Yamagata or The Beatles. so happy. it's like, i need to buy something to feel happy. women of the world will agree with me. (say, agree.) well, since i can't buy clothes till May, i decided CDs would be good replacement. ahhh... bliss~
  
  
• i have again cleverly (and quietly) changed my calling name on mr tay's phone. it started of as:
  
  Angie (how boring can you get. obviously keyed in by him)
  Girlfriend (by me)
  MUACKS (me)
  
  and then finally Noisy Girl! (with exclaimation mark) coz he claimed that i am "by far the noisiest girl i've ever known" in his Friendster testimonial to me. if you are very free, you can read the whole story here
  
  
  so, 2 nights ago, i merely tweaked it a little and changed it to:
  My Girl! (with exclaimation mark)
  
  
  there better isn't it? sounds better too when in the presence of his bosses, friends or colleagues coz when i call, his phone will robotically say, "My.Girl." instead of "Noisy.Girl." 
  
  so i intend to change this by default response where everybody used to go, "wah who is that, that you named as Noisy Girl?!"
  
  to
  
  "horrrrr, your gf is calling you!"
  
  during the period of MUACKS, it was worse. each time when i called, his phone will read out "M-U-A-C-K-S". like fark only.
  
  

my MSN nick for the day

yeah. i cannot abstain from shopping till May 2008. i.will.die.

seriously absolutely die. because i am forever exposed to wonderful clothes, bags and shoes from One Utama. not that i like shopping at One U, but it keeps telling me that there's this new black skirt that i need to get, this new pair of white shoes that i don't have or more bubblegum yellow panties to add to my evergrowing panty collection. (record standing at 139. last counted, few days before CNY. must get rid of old ones!)

so, March it is. have already sent Distress Call and Alert in Advance to my Shopping Partner in Crime, Ms Teoh. she laughed. not haha but hahahahahaha and promptly said "ok, how can i say no to shopping invitations??"

am very much looking forward to this very important date with Ms Teoh Sue Lin. very. you don't know how it is abstaining from shopping for a few months. it's like ripping off hair from waxing. no. actually 1 million times worse than that.


*heehee*

today is tuesday. i like tuesdays simply because i am a tuesday's child! to know what child are you, just adjust to your birth date and year on the time/date settings in your computer la.

updated: oops, just checked. only those born after the 80s can check on their computer time/date settings coz you can only backtrack till 1980. hehehehe! if really wanna find out, check online la. but i guess you won't bother coz you won't do bo-liao things like me!

it's Saturday. my favorite day of the week.  surprisingly enough, i woke up at 7.30am as opposed to my usual 11.30am during weekends. so, we got out for breakfast at a nearby coffee shop.

i had:

- economy noodles + fried egg
- kopi si peng
- half roti bakar (forcedfully)

he had:

- economy noodles + curry + fried beancurd
- teh ais
- half-boiled eggs
- half roti bakar

we hardly get to do breakfast together, so with food and a copy of The Star, we're happy weekenders :)

bf didn't sleep the whole night, so now he's asleep while i type this very boring entry. will have to wake him up at 12pm for his dental appointment at 12.30pm in Uptown and i will then have 1hr 30min to kill there. which is dangerous. places like Bangsar, Uptown and Kota Damansara are now killer places for someone who is abstaining from shopping till May 2008.

but. no harm with just browsing right? i think i'll give Sue a call right now. she lives opposite Uptown :)

just browsing...

bought over lunch break with Sue (who gotten herself, The Beatles Anthology, Michael Buble and Jet)

bought at RM48.90, which was originally priced at RM89 according to the salesperson.

currently at song #6. *love love love*

i'm a happier person already. tra-la-la ~~~~

Disc One :

Disc Two :

BORED!

she has just about 7 days more to decide what to get him for the Fourteenth.

you can forget about shirts, pants, belts, wallets, ties, cuff-links and even underwears coz those are Past Tense. here are some Present Tense ideas:

1. indulge the crap out of the boy. i.e Spa / Massage
2. ..........
3. .......
4. .....
5. ok that's the only thing i could think of now but will cancel as well coz he ain't exactly the Spa-spa kinda person

she might. she just might send him flowers at his office. eek!

which reminds her, he is turning 30 in May. The Big 3-0.
hello UNCLE TAY!

she has decided to put on the Organizer cap and throw him a poolside BBQ party at the residence. have to determine the guest list for now, decide on caterers, check on the booze stock at home and who can she hire to keep turning the marinated chicken wings throughout the night. and how much.
