I am such a chicken I tell you!

Watched The Blair Witch Project last night on 8TV. Wasn't my idea of a great movie in my opinion. At the end of the show, I went "What? That was it?! Where's the Witch? How does she look like? Why don't they show her?!" Cehhh. Not scary one.

SO I THOUGHT.

I couldn't sleep the whole night. I didn't dare sleep on my left. I ALWAYS sleep on my left facing the wall. And my back will be facing my entire room plus The Door. What if something comes in from The Door at night whilst I sleep??? Grab me from the back or run a chilly hand over my shoulders, or or... *gulp* play with my hair??! Arrrgghhhh... I was scared

So I slept on my right the whole night (tried sleeping that is).

And you think that's bad? Wait till I tell you how'd I go to the bathroom outside my room when sunrise wasn't up yet. I erm, ran to the switches in the living hall, had those lights switched on lighting the whole place up before going into the bathroom.

So now, till the next couple of days, I am seeking refuge at someone's place

Stupid Blair Witch Project  

Last night I nearly blew my top. I was almost ready to put on some clothes and march down to file a complaint.

Those baboons were AGAIN so inconsiderately cheering football matches loudly. It's always THEM. Them. Not anyone else, but them. I know coz by now I can even recognise their pattern / style of cheering. And it's always coming from this particular direction.

As though acting like baboons weren't enough, they started behaving like those loud-mouthed Cina Ah Peks. Like as though they have super kengchao Hi-Fi system playing and each of them need to shout to get their message across. KNN.

Fuck, I was damn pissed last night, I wanted to open my window, stick my head out and shout, "SENYAP LA! ORANG MAU TIDUR LA!"

Bastards.

I did my 5K run yesterday, so I was really tired. Thought I'd be able to go home, indulge in a nice warm bath and snuggle under my comforter and just fall asleep. But noooo, the baboons decided to come out and play last night. Worse are those 3am matches where I would be soundly asleep only to be awaken by shouts and cheers of "GOALLLLLL" and "AWWWWWWW".

What match is it tonite? I have a strong feeling I will do some shoutings tonight.

P/S: I need to be in the office by 7am tomorrow. So, God, please help keep me sane tonight.

Kerana cinta
Aku kembara
Bagai camar
Melintas laut
Mencari pohon
Untuk berteduh

Kerana cinta
Aku kembara
Ikut lagu
Bisikan hati
Mendamba kasih
Paling setia

Korus:
Sepasang sayap tak terlihat
Umpama mimpi yang tersimpan
Jadi rintik-rintik hujan
Menciptakan
Awan yang terpilu

Puisi ini
Tercipta lantas
Tak kesampaian
Hajat meronakan
Gelora rindu
Ku kepadamu

Bridge:
Ingin sekali
Aku ungkapi
Isyarat jiwa
Dengan sempurna
Biar kau mengerti
Biar kau sedari
Keadaanku yang memujamu

My strawberry cream cheese bread is baking away!

Ready in 2 more hours.

In the meantime, here's the recipe:

Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup mashed strawberries
1/3 cup cream cheese
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp salt (I reduced it to 1/2 tsp because the cream cheese itself is already salty enough)
1/2 cup oatmeal
1-1/2 cup bread flour
1-1/2 tsp dry active yeast

Everything has to be prepared in room temperature. If you know you're gonna bake in the evening, take the refrigerated ingredients out in the afternoon. Cold / hot ingredients will kill the yeast, if you aren't careful.

It's so easy. Will show pictures later.

I can't wait!

My mi called me just now and asked me to bake her a bread over the weekend.

I looked through the recipes and decided to bake her either a Brownie Bread or a Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread.

Am curious to know how does Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread would taste like, so I am most probably gonna bake this

+++ Pictures later!

Girl: *Hic*

7 seconds later

Girl: *Hic*

Boy: You having hiccups ah?
Girl: *Hic* Yeah
Boy: Ok. (went on reading on his laptop)
Girl: *Hic*

Few minutes later

With the bulgiest eyes, widest-opened mouth and loudest voice, Boy went...

Boy: HAAH!!!!!!
Girl: *shocked!* Stupid idiot! Why you scared me for!
Boy: Neh, now you see, no more hiccups right? *grin*
Girl: *pause for a moment to listen*
Girl: Eh yeah wor! No more! Thank you!

Boy: Scold me idiot somemore lah! *Hmmph*

One pretty weird day today.

Got to the HSBC bank to activate my internet banking. This girl (the staff attending to me) was nice and we started chatting away. And after awhile, she started asking me whether I have savings. Doesn't need a genius to answer that really. (DT, right?!)

So she explained how the whole thing works, yada yada yada. And suddenly it made me realise that it's about time I do something about my financial plannings. I need to seriously start saving and stop buying every single damn dress, bag and shoes that I lay my eyes on. Having said that, I just realized I am in the process of becoming a Rebecca Bloomwood.

So, anyways, I got kinda interested. She printed out this whole lot of papers for me to read. Lost me by the time we've reached the second paragraph. All I could see were just numbers, percentages and bla bla bla. Numbers and me don't go well, you must understand this.

I told her I needed time to think (but of coz!), thanked her and stuffed the lot of confusion papers in my bag. Mental note to self: To be digested and explained by DT later. One of the many wonderful uses of having the Boy around. Heh!

Then, I hopped on a cab to get back to the office. The cab driver was INSANE. I kid you not, he was insane! But insane in a very delightful way. An old Indian man who spoke fluent English. He started talking to me, occasionally injecting his infectious laughs and then... he did his thing.

Cab Driver: Do you ever wish you could make more money than you already can now? Are you currently satisfied with your current income now? (yada yada yada)...

Cab Driver: Let me introduce you to a new way of making money. These people you see here (showed me some colorful brochures), were lawyers, engineers, etc etc and they quit their job to do this. And look at their success stories there.

Eyes shot wide open. Mind, which was on the black bag I saw on display in KLCC the other day, flew back to Cab Driver's conversation. Yes, I was interested. So I focused hard for the next few minutes in hope to discover the secret formula in becoming the next millionnaire.

Then... all dash of hope went *pfffftttt* when he showed me the Elken brochure. KNN. Another MLM shit. I hate MLMs. I honestly think there are better ways to generate money than doing MLMs. But, that's just my thoughts anyway.

A very money-significant day for me indeed. Perhaps it's God's way of telling me that I should quit the Rebecca Bloomwood stunt and start saving.

But I still have that perfect big black bag to hunt for ya?

I love #10 and find #5 very amusing ... lol!
