They are: Cuddles, Sniffles, Flaky, Disco Bear, Splendid, Nutty, Mime, Giggles (my fav), Pop & Cub (cub is so cute!), Toothy, Petunia, etc
Must watch with sound ON. And all these while, Mr Tay wonders why am I such a noisy girl and where did I learn to make all those cute cute sounds. Ha ha.
Last Weekend = Cute Orange Cupcakes + Mrs Tay + The Wedding + Mahjong Tiles + Ah Kua David Tay
I had a wonderful weekend at the boy's hometown, Batu Pahat. BP has a new shopping mall. It's called The BP Mall (duh). Me is still on the Spending Fast (2 more months to go baybeh!) so me got Mr Tay to buy stuff! Me got him to buy a set of silk bedsheet + pillow cases (originally at RM300++ with 50% off) and 3 panels of curtains NOT FOR ME! THERE ARE ALL HIS!
Spent Sunday morning, baking cute Orange Cupcakes with Mr Tay's mom. She squeezed one whole orange and added a good dash of Sunquick orange juice. My contribution: Broke and beat the eggs, monitor the mixer, sifted the flour and steadily scooped the mixture into the individual cupcake papercups. The result - Lovely Orange Cupcakes The inner blogger intuition in me had wanted to snap pictures of the cupcakes but didn't dare risk the 'good' image I've been portraying Imagine if she goes, "Why your gf so weird? Taking pictures of FOOD?!"
Then it was cooking time. I was assigned by Mrs Tay to be: The Official Garlic Peeler and Pounder. Again I stress on this ---> I love to cook but absolutely hate to peel garlic. But this is Mrs Tay we're talking about right, so like any other obedient gf standing within the perimeter of the bf's mother, I behaved. The cloves of garlic have never been peeled off so cleanly and pounded so finely by me
Then, there was the wedding which was held at this huge venue at the Great Ocean View. No pics lah, hate taking pics using camera phones But for our Phuket trip, we will have a spanking new camera ya. So I'll be snap snap snaping away ~
Saturday night @ Gary's. The boys had many sessions of chor tai dee using mahjong tiles, which Gary bought from Taiwan. So cute those tiles!
Cute lil mahjong tiles as cards replacement
And this is Mr Tay, being dolled up and bullied by the gf as usual. Picture taken in the car on way to Batu Pahat.
"I am bored to death and my gf won't leave me alone. But I sure am pretty!"
The Girl was sitting infront of the idiot box, flipping channels. Then she landed on Channel 42. Million Dollar Baby was playing onscreen. She checked the screening time on 'info' - 11.40pm. Time on clock - 11.55pm. Ok, she sat on and watched on. "Just for awhile and then I will go to sleep."
Yeah right.
11.55pm soon became 12.15am. "Ok, till 12.30am and I will go sleep. Serious! Can get DVD what." The Boy who were sitting there with her, shook his head.
The next time she looked up at the clock it was 1.05am. "SHIT! How to work tomorrow!" "Hee hee," giggled The Boy. "This show is damn nice! I want to know how it ends." *wails* "Very sad one," he said. "Yeah lah, how did it end? What happened after she got paralyzed???" "Very sad one... very sad one. Very sad one." !!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's the type that can't tolerate being kept in suspence, so she watched on. Million Dollar Baby ended at 1.55am. So by 2am they went to bed.
Her eyelids felt very heavy, she closed them and she knew she was going to crash any moment. She felt the bed moved. The body next to her was tossing and trashing about. It didn't bother her as she knew she was about to drift away. Then suddenly...
"Eh, you sleep already. Cehhh... so fast." Despite still being able to hear him, she kept quiet and slept on. THEN...
She felt 1 soft kiss planted on her forehead And then another!
And The Kisser then promptly turned to the other side and continued tossing around trying to sleep... ...not knowing that, she silently smiled the widest grin with both eyes closed and slowly drifted off to slumberland. *happy*
An overdue meme from Pink Elle. Sorry, I took so long!
Have a serious fear of vomitting - emetophobia. Die die sick like shit also won't vomit it out.
Am super anal when it comes to toilet cleanliness. Known to be having a shower while spontaneously scrubbing the toilet.
I love sleeping in the car. Especially when it is a 2-3hrs journey. It's all about the rock-a-by baby feeling. Car motion rawks!
Being put in situations where there are just too many choices overwhelms me. For example: One cute baby t on display. Cute Baby T is RM69.90. Cute Baby T has 13 freaking colors. Mind decides that's too much to handle. Walk out of boutique not buying Cute Baby T.
New song that I like, I play it like 1 million times over and over again until I get sick of it. Right now it's Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape :) NOT sick yet.
I love to kiss. To a point mr tay said he should wash his face with Dettol. I still kiss my 20 yr old brother on the cheeks.
When I read magazines, I have to flip thru the pages -one by one- until the end and then go back to page 1 to slowly read thru the articles or browse the images. It's a very bad habit that I've been trying to shake off. Even if I resist from turning the pages to the end, I will speed read the articles like mad to rush to the last page, which in the end, don't make any sense to me and inevidently have to flip thru the pages until the end first. Stupid girl.
As a kid up till now, I secretly wish I live in The Magic Faraway Tree *click* in the Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton. My favorite land on top of the tree: The Land-of-Take-What-You-Want. I am a sucker for magic, pixies, faeries, and elves.
I always wear my skirt first before putting on my panty. Didn't know this is weird until someone pointed it out to me one fine morning.
That I don't think any of the above is weird.
I tag... no one because I think by now, everyone has done it

You know you have OD-ed on Gwen's The Sweet Escape when you can sing to the following without looking at the lyrics
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
You have just got to take just 5 min of your time and do this! This is quite fun and plus the images are awesome! Thanks Ms PF for the link Take the fun quiz here *click*
So, I'm back. And much earlier too since the workshop ended earlier than expected.
"I would like to change my ticket to your next earliest flight out to KL." "Ok, 8pm? SIA. It's a middle seat though." "OK! MIDDLE SEAT NEVERMIND!" Time was 7.30pm, so rushed through customs, etc. Guess what? My little scissors used for trimming eyebrows was 'confiscated'. But NOT my Eyebrow Tweezers, Blackhead Remover tool and Eyelash Curler Byebye little scissors because I KNOW I won't be that rajin to walk all the way and go claim it back upon arrival. Bleh. Funny how my little scissors got thru all the custom checkpoints in all my previous trips.

Will be going to Batu Pahat with Mr Tay to attend a wedding this weekend. I can't wait for weekend because I get to rest and do absolutely nothing!
+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH PAN'S LABYRINTH! MR TAY YOU HEAR ME?!
+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+
I can't help but KIV-ing I-Would-Like-to-Have items, furnitures, lights, shower heads, toilet sinks, etc whenever and wherever I see them. For example, at the Changi Hotel - the RainShower, the shape of the toilet sink and the faucet. Mr Tay said I am on a perpetual ID High. ID = Interior Design He'd go, "Come let's take you to IKEA and get you somemore ID High." Hehehhehehe, he's such a dear =P
+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+
Ok, this is a little bit personal but what the heck. Mr Tay and I have been getting on really really swell for the past couple of months. No minor hiccups like we used to have last time and I guess for 1 yr and a half, if we still don't get what works and don't work for the both of us, it's Trouble Yesterday, when I got back from the airport and after taking a good shower, I walked into the living hall where Mr Tay was watching tv. Mr Tay raised his both hands up wide open and said, "Come here." And I got HUGGED
And at that moment I felt life was actually getting so much better for me now. It's not perfect yet, but I'm getting there.
*** Ok, I know I owe you a meme, Pink Elle. Next post!
Travelling alone is fun. I'm at Singapore right now and had a whole day checking out IBM Singapore and meeting up some people there who were supposed to brief me on my new role. Thanks to Judy and Yee Nam who have been such great hosts! Their office has been 7 yrs old as compared to our IBM Malaysia which is only less than a year, but hey, it still looks new to me.
I don't have the time to window shop or shop this time around as I am stuck in Changi The workshop tomorrow is at Changi Village Hotel *click* which is the same hotel I'm staying in. Workshop is from 9am - 6pm oh woe ~ More reasons to check into Changi Village: IBM SG is in CHANGI
I was supposed to meet up with a highschool friend of mine, Soo Chin who is currently working in Singapore but I got off late from the office just now and my body just felt so battered up with all the waking up so early for the whole past 2 weeks. So I went to get myself a facial + massage in the hotel with a 20% discount. Syiokness
Went back to my room and ordered Penne Seafood Marinara and the prawns were the CRUNCHIEST that I've ever tasted. Wonder how do they do it? Blanch it first?
Took a LONGGGGG shower. I have always been a fan of the RAINSHOWER shower system. To my delight, the hotel has it! So I just stood below it for which seemed like forever with the warm WARM water raining all over me. Utter bliss ~ (seriously considering installing a Rainshower in my new place)
One of men's smarter inventions
Watched a little of Home Alone 2 (again!) while doing some work for the Aussies and now Flight Plan is on tv and I am watching it (again!) You know, I think the cab driver tipu-ed me. From hotel to IBM Sg = $6.60 From IBM Sg to hotel = $16.20!!!
I hope tomorrow will be a smooth day. I am actually a little nervous.
Boy: Want you to knowww, you make me happy. Want you to knowww, you make me happy.... Girl: HUH? Why so cute suddenly?! Boy: Want you to knowww, you make me happy. La la la laaaa... Girl: ??? Boy: The new Sony Ericsson ad lah. It goes like this, "Want you to knowww, you make me happyyyy." Girl: Ohhh... the couple celebrating anniversary under the moon one.
Then he got me infected. Me "Want you to knowww, you make me happyyy." non-stop. And I'd sing louder in sync with the ad when it is playing, much to Mr Tay's amusement. The only difference is, my version is sung ever so cutely, imitating a 3yr old's voice. *Heeeeee*
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:
WRONG METHOD(X) Normally, when we cook the instant noodles, we normally put the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 mins and then ready to eat.
This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles. By doing this, we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG. This will change the molecular structures of the MSG causing it to be toxic.
The other thing that you may not realized is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have taken the noodles.
CORRECT METHOD The CORRECT method, which you should know is to cook the noodles this way:-
1. Boil the noodles in a pot with water. 2. Once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles and throw away the water which contains wax. 3. Boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire. 4. Only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very hot, put the ingredient with the powder into the water, to make noodle soup. 5. However, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles n add the ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.
