In conjunction to Earth Day 2 days ago, I finally wore my modified Amazon Jungle dress. Wore it with white belt, white thin hairband, pearl necklace, light black stokings and white pumps. Boy, do I look like a Forest Fairy, guarding the Amazon Jungle. Hahhahaha!

Anyways, Sue and I drove out to Damansara Kim for lunch. I can't express how relieved I was eating something different (and nice!) and definitely cheaper for lunch after so so long. Initially, I told Sue that I was having cravings for a Claypot Yee Mee, which coincidently is my all-time favorite.

Instead, I ended up ordering:

Hakka Mee (dry version) - RM3.80
Soya Cincau - RM1.80

Total = RM 5.60

RM5.60 for a meal!! I felt compelled to express my shockness and ignorance at how I was donating so much money to the restaurants at One Utama, so I told Sue, "My meal, RM5.60. I can have at least 3 meals of this for a single meal at One Utama." And then, my mind automatically worked its math and let's just say by the end of it, it ain't a pleasant feeling. I could have been a millionaire by just not splurging on lunches at One Utama. Ok, 'millionaire' is being a tad dramatic. But you know what I mean! And and and... it's not like the food at One U is great! After awhile, you just get bored! Each time David comes to pick me up from work, and when he suggests One Utama for dinner, I'll let out a HUMONGOUS groan. I can't for the life of me, stomach both lunch and dinner from One Utama on one single day. It is really that depressing!

So, we made some alterations to our lunch plans. We plan to drive out once a week to have cheap and good food outside, around areas probably like Damansara Kim or Uptown. So, it's just Shopping Mall Food for 4 days in a week. Yippee!

Ok, I can't wait for the weekend to come. Bf and I plan to go on a movie with Gary+Shanice+Fetus. Yes, she's pregnant! Can't wait to see her bump  And then, we're paying Ozzy The Puppy a visit! I missed her so much and according to Alex, she has been growing longer and longer by the day. Sigh, Ozzy please don't grow up so fast. I like you tiny and small!

Last night, the bf and I had a long chat. It was 10pm and he was lying on the bed. I was scurrying around, applying body lotion, moisturizer, hair protein, etc and we were just chatting away. We usually don't sleep that early but he was feeling tired (after having to do 3 PC fairs over the weekends!) so ok, I decided to sleep early for once too. But, we just chatted and chatted away and before you know it, it was already 12.05am. By then, we decided to turn in and this was what he said at the end of the 2 hours chat.

"I can't believe I wasted 2 hours talking to you. I could've slept an extra 2 hours!"

So naughty! After much whacking from me, we both went to sleep. That's David Tay for you, the ever-romantic boy who says the most wonderful things to end a beautifully spent evening together.

We love the new Facebook chat!

Have you started trying for the National Final Rodeo tickets?

What is a Rodeo?
A rodeo is a sport event which its origin is attributed to the practice of cattle hearding in spain, Mexico, US, Canada, Australia, etc. It is an event where Cowboys take part in many time judged events involving cattle and horses. It is designed in such a way that the skill, speed and ability of the cowboys and cowgals are tested. This is the official sport of Wyoming and Texas.

NFR
The National Finals Rodeo, organized by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, is the premier championship rodeo event in the United States. Wrangler Jeans is the title sponsor for the 10-day event, commonly just called the National Finals or NFR, which is also sometimes referred to as the World Series of Rodeo and the Super Bowl of Rodeo. The NFR is held each year in the first full week of December, at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

History
The NFR came to Las Vegas (it was previously in Oklahoma.) in 1985 and since then this sport is an integral part of the city. In 2007 NFR have got an official song, the "Cowboy Town," recorded by superstar duo Brooks and Dunn. The hero of 2007 was Trevor Brazile, PRCA's triple crown champion.(he was a champion in 2004 and 2006.

I have not been to a rodeo event before but this certainly sounds interesting, isn't it? But, if you're living in the United States now, be sure to catch this!

So it was a nice movie marathon with Sue during the weekend. She stayed over and we only managed 5 movies.

27 Dresses - sucks. seriously, Katherine Heigl has got to start choosing her movies wisely. I mean... Knocked Up??? and now this? i love her, just can't bear to see her in these sort of crappy films.
Feast of Love - ok
Rumor Has It - ok
The Holiday - fantastic! Jude Law I love youuuu
In Her Shoes - nice

:)

I have been meaning to write this. I joined PayPerPost sometime in the middle of last year and it has been a great program which I still follow to this very day. When you love to write and own a blog, isn't it just fantastic that you can get to do all these and at the same time, GET PAID as well?

The idea is pretty simple actually. If you have a blog, and you update frequently, join the PayPerPost program and get paid by writing sponsored posts. You can choose what you want to write about so that the content fits in nicely with the theme of your blog. And in just about a couple of days (sometimes as soon as you submit the post) your posts get approved, and you will get paid!

Plus, you get to learn new things and discover new websites that you never knew before. This is because, to write a sponsored post, you need to get to the given website link, do a little research on it and basically, just write or promote the website. Thus, making payperpost a really great opportunity.

Besides, I love online shopping and what other great way than making extra cash via PayPerPost! Start earning your side income today.

Tonite, Sue, Corinne and I are watching Definitely, Maybe (again, for me that is) Heeeee...


Today, Sue and I went to Uptown for lunch and... DVD-hunting!

We have planned to do a Romantic Comedy Movie Marathon Weekend. Only chick flicks allowed or rather, love-themed movies. Topped with homemade pasta meal with lots of junk food and *hic* booze. I figure we could do Mr Tay's huge alcohol collection a little favor by doing a little consumption. They have been sitting in the kitchen pantry for farrrrrrrrr too long

Initial DVDs wanted:

Gone Baby Gone
P.S. I Love You
La vie en rose
The Holiday
Paris Je'taime
27 Dresses
Feast of Love
Only You
The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (i really wanted this!)

But they only have these - buy 5 free 1:

No Reservations
27 Dresses
In Her Shoes
Feast of Love (thanks PF babe for the recommendation)
Gone Baby Gone
The Holiday

(and many more - will check from Mr Tay's HUGE DVD collection)

Well, technically, Gone Baby Gone isn't a boy-girl romantic movie, but I've heard raving reviews about it, so, grabbed it!

This is Sue taken from her recent Cambodia trip.

Nice cap right! We got it from a little shop in One Utama.

These are nice pics, girl  

Single guys who want her contacts, let me know. I'm officially her dating agent. I get commissions for every approved guy. Hahhaha! Kidding!

Ok, this is not Sue.
It's just a look I like so much of Lauren Conrad.
Black nails, casual scrunched up hair, necklace, loose white top, skinny jeans and a nice casual bag.

So last night Grace, Joanne and I caught Definitely, Maybe at the cinema. We loved it :) Extremely heartwarming, witty lines, fantastic casts (maybe except for the role of Emily, she's a bit dull in my opinion). You have just gotta love Ryan Reynolds - tall and handsome and bloody witty as hell. The girls weren't bad too, with Summer and April, both extremely intelligent women, both fell in love with Ryan a.k.a Will Hayes, who aspires to be the next U.S. President.

My favorite girl has got to be April played by Isla Fisher, who coincidently has been casted to play Rebecca Bloomwood from the Shopaholic series. Excited?! I AM!!! Now, I just got to find out who's playing Luke Brandon. My perfect choice would be Michael Vartan (Sidney Bristow's bf in ALIAS)

And and and! They were showing previews of Sex and The City already!!! I CAN'T WAIT. Ahhhh.. Carrie Bradshaw's wedding gown, very pretty.

Gosh, see how I went from Definitely, Maybe to probable casts of the Shopaholic series and to Sex and The City? Very excited, I am.

Anyways, as I was saying I love April. And then you have Maya, Will Hayes' daughter played by the evercute Abigail Breslin. She's FANTASTIC. I couldn't help but gushed like a million times outloud, "I love her!" throughout the entire movie. I hope my future daughter will be as witty, naughty, and smart as her. AND COINCIDENTLY, 1 year ago, I told mr tay that I would like to name my future daughter, Maia (also pronounced as Maya). Got the name from The 4400 (those who followed this series would know who Maia was )

Ok, got side-tracked to naming babies now. Anyway, it was an extremely heartwarming movie. I wouldn't mind catching it at the cinemas again. I'm not going to do spoilers here but I just wanna say that I love the entire process of how Will Hayes' and April got together. Makes me wish I had that kinda relationship, like maybe once in my lifetime. Oh well...

Go catch Definitely, Maybe. Good laughs, sexy lines, extremely briliant scriptwriter and Maya! There's also Rachel Weisz, who is flat out fun, sexy and charismatic and then you also have Kevin Klein who was brilliant as a uni professor who sleeps with sophomores. Jomel, please go watch it. I know you'd love it coz I know what a hopeless romantic you are :)

Sorry, I'm just not that good at doing movie reviews ok. I get extremely excited and I just type whatever that comes to mind. So, pardon the very 'professional flair' in this movie review post.

Favorite quote from the movie:

The happy ending was... you.

I got a pile of dresses from my cousin lately. Quite vintage they are, coz the cousin prolly has kept them for like over 10 years. The patterns are with flowers! Which is something I usually shy away from and the cutting, omg, put me off the moment I saw them. There are sleeveless, LONG, as in touching way past the knee-length and to make it worse, they flare at the bottom. So, I wasn't too keen to keep them.

Suddenly, I had a sudden lightbulb moment. My mom and I sent them over to the tailor to have them shorten and hey, now they looked damn cute. There are 4 of them, which 3 are splattered all over with flower motifs - 1 dark blue which, I am wearing today, 1 dark-based with bright blue flowers and 1 dark-based color with GREEN flowers all over them. I call the last dress my Amazon dress, as in Amazon Jungle? Hahaha. The moment I tried on the before-altered green dress, I stood infront of my mom and exclaimed, "Mi! I am a forest!" Hahahaha!

But, thank gawd, after alterations, they look mighty cute. Today's dress worn over light black stockings with a red belt and a pearl necklace. Sorry, photo quality is quite bad as they were taken from my phone.

I guess, these flowered dresses ain't that bad, afterall, it's SPRING/SUMMER now! They came right on time, I'd say

I just got back from the gym and am currently slurping Maggi Mee Perisa Ayam for dinner. Springy noodles with yellow soup cooked with 2 eggs. 1 egg smashed and stirred around the pot, while being careful with the other - not to break it to retain the yolk. I like to slurp in a medium-cooked yolk sometimes.

Anyways, you must think I am enjoying my instant noodles. WRONG. Maggi Mee Perisa Ayam sucks big time. It tastes like crap. Don't even recall who stocked this flavor in the kitchen pantry anyway. We ran out of the usual favorite - Maggi Mee Kari Meletup, hence the Ayam flavor. All thanks to the Dinner Partner who did not even have the courtesy to inform me that he will be going for futsal or at least remind me to pack my dinner back from gym later.

I mean, I was under the impression that he wasn't going for futsal since I took his car. So, after BodyPump, I skipped RPM which was supposed to be at 7.30 to rush home, just so we could go out for dinner. But, hey, I got home to find Dinner Partner out and a quick phone call confirmed it all. Such an ass, right?

And hence, the forced-in dinner of Maggi Mee Perisa Ayam. Yucks. I am NEVER ever eating Maggi Mee Perisa Ayam again. Ever.

Anyway, I'm not really mad at him. Just got slightly ticked off and anyway, life's too short to stay pissed at someone over small matters, right? I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS, MY DINNER-PARTNER-BY-DEFAULT! I hope you have Crappy x100 Dinner later. Hmmph.

Oh, I've been naughty. Truth to be known, when I am bored with something, I do naughty things. For instance, my job. I have been very extremely bored with what I've been doing for the past 1+ year and it is reaching to point of me not being bothered anymore. Like, I have unread emails which I do not even bother reading. Emails that has ASAP! or Urgent! which, from this 1+ year of experience earned me the right to distinguish between a real ASAP! and a fake ASAP! To which, out of 10 - only 1 is real. This is also what I would like to call it as The Act of Denial. If I don't see the request, I don't have to work on it :) Such a bad employee, I am. The thing is, I don't see what is the rush where no one is gonna die if I respond slighly slower. No one's gonna lose millions if I work on it later. So, what the heck?

Another thing is, I've been leaving work much earlier than I should these days. I just need to get out of that place, you know? I need AIR. I need to feel like I am not restricted to the Desk every weekday from 9am - 5.30pm. It's really killing me within, I kid you not. And just like PF, we're ever ready to abandon ship. I just want to do something I enjoy for once, you know what I'm saying? It's like, enough of IT already. Enough of Servers, System x, System p, Network Storage, Lotus and that bloody Newsletter. I will not want anything to do with creating another freaking Newsletter in my next job. It's depressing!

You know how I hate brands like Gucci, Prada and Coach - overated and overcharged pieces of crap which every sally, susan and jane is carrying which by the way, even if you're carrying a real Prada, people will still be doubtful whether the little metal triangle is real? Yeah, so I've applied to this position at Gucci as well.

I am really THAT desperate. Ok, writing about this is getting a wee bit depressing. Especially after an extremely crappy dinner of Maggi Mee Perisa Ayam. Gonna go hit the showers now and continue to embrace my bimbo self by watching The Hills Season 3 :)

I missed Ozzy. We survived the weekend. She didn't die on me.

A stock market is a private or public market for the trading of company stock and derivatives of company stock at an agreed price; both of these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately. The expression 'stock market' refers to the market that enables the trading of company stocks (collective shares), other securities, and derivatives. Bonds are still traditionally traded in an informal, over-the-counter market known as the bond market. Commodities are traded in commodities markets, and derivatives are traded in a variety of markets (but, like bonds, mostly 'over-the-counter'). If you're interested to read more on the stock market, head over here to find out more.

1 day with Ozzy and I realised that I am definitely not ready to become a mother. As in, a mother to a real human child.

She pees like almost every 30 min. At least that was when I was supervising her, at least a good 5 times. It's like the moment I clear up her mess, there she goes, 2 legs bent down, in a squating manner, and happily pee-ing away. It was almost like, she enjoys seeing me clear up her mess and exclaim, "Not again Ozzy!!!"

But she's a joy to be with. Always curious with her surroundings. Sniffing this sniffing that, tugging at the carpet sides, running amok around the house and terbabas once in awhile. Ok, the terbabas part is damn cute. She'd be happily running and at some point she'd lose control, skid and her whole body would just crash sideways. David and I always laugh whenever we see her do that.

She whimpers a lot though when placed inside her pen. She's always wanting to come out which I tend to limit her coz she pees very frequently. Won't want her to pee on our carpets and couch now, would we?

David was the first person she saw this morning as I was still busy doing my make-up in the bathroom. "She sure is a morning person! The moment she saw me, her tail starts wagging non-stop."

Hahhh... just made me smile when he told me that in the car. I guess it's nice to also see the boyfriend show his softy side a bit as opposed to his perpetual macho I'm-a-Man-Hear-Me-Roar facade.

So yeah, no. Definitely no babies for me for at least another 3 years. And besides, I heard a baby who is born when the mother is over the age of 30 has better IQ?
