I SO KNEW THIS WORD EXISTS!

Last night I was trapped in a very exhaustive dream.
Dreamt that I was inflicted with a disease called Myopia (pronounced: my-oh-pia)
I didn't know such a word exist but it looked and sounded somewhat familiar, prolly picked it up back in school days. Biology classes, heh.
So I wiki-ed it out today and this is what Myopia is.

So, it's just some rabun mata shit!
And yes, I have Myopia a.k.a Short-sightedness as we all were told by when we have our eyes checked.
But in that dream, Myopia sounded like some deadly disease and I was told by the doctor that the only way to cure it is by... wait, let me reveal it towards the end of this entry, because it is SO FREAKIN' WEIRD.

I wanted to find out what dreaming of Myopia means, and as usual I went to DreamMoods.com.
1st search: Myopia --> No results found (so ok, it's not common to dream about myopia!)
2nd search: Disease --> Found!

Disease
To dream that you are inflicted with a disease, foretells that you will catch a slight cold or cough. Sometimes you dreams are able to spot an illness before you are aware of the symptoms.

Helloooooo? Perhaps I should request to have my fore-warning dreams to arrive earlier and not let me know when I am already having a cough? Mr Sandman, take note pls.

Ok, so the doctor in my dream told me that the only way to cure the so-called deadly disease known as Myopia, is by drinking lots of beer.

Dear Brother of mine OR Mr Tay,

Should you want to redeem yourselves for:

finishing all the durians before I could get some last week (to brother)
making me wait so long the other night (to mr tay)

you can do so by getting me a copy of this wonderful book. Kindly remember to insist only on

*this*

and

*not this*

these are non-HP fans, tsk tsk tsk. must illustrate properly 

Commercial break:
New instant cup noodle brand in town - IBM!
Head over to your nearest supermarkets to grab some.
Yum ~

I'm at home waiting for Ellen DeGeneres to repeat later in the noon. I absolutely love her show, the best day-time talk show EVAR! She's brilliantly witty, funny, humourous, naughty, and just about anything that describes the word F-U-N. Loved her right from the very first episode that I've watched. Planning to download oops, buy all her episodes since I've missed quite a number of them.

Channel 70 is showing Irritating OC. And for some unexplained reason, I kept watching the SAME episode! The last time I was working from home, it was this SAME OC episode playing on the tv! And it is quite sappy la this episode I have to admit. Some old couple got married, this guy that was leaving town and Mischa Barton (i think her name's Marissa in this show?) and just about everyone's feeling sad, whiny and mellow. Gah! I need chirpy chirpy shows, just like ellen's!

I was thinking of ordering Mun Yee Meen from downstairs for lunch later as they do deliveries. I'm just too lazy to go out and besides I'm still in my PJs, heh! But guess what, I just realized that they closed down last month. And McD's no longer delivers to Damansara Perdana! What theeeeeeee!

I will just have to settle for the IBM Hot Spicy Curry Noodle then.
Yum. Indeed.

My office is having a DURIAN PARTY tomorrow. OMG! It's like this eat all you can thingy and I've never done that, not with Durians! They even include Mangosteens and Rambutans and I love love love all of them! And the flyer states that the durian fest is to be held beside a pond. I've never eaten durians beside a pond!!! How jakun, but ya I'm psyched for tomorrow! Except... I hope my throat recovers by tomorrow... else

Ok, back to work!

Today I had Curry Laksa at Old Asia for lunch.

Chose to sit outside, al fresco style.
I've always loved eating outdoors. Like, having a picnic (no guy has ever brought me to a picnic before!), BBQ grill with lots of beer and a bunch of your friends over, or even

... having a sandwich on the bench with your ipod stuck into the ears at a park. And on that fateful day, you spot cute angmoh guy walking his dog and suddenly he stops by and asks whether he could join you.
The delighted you obviously nods approvingly.
And then you two rambled on about how beautiful the weather is, the sandwich, the neighborhood, his dog, and ya, I got carried away.
(sorry, but this always seem to look and work better when you're like in Hyde Park or something).
The parks here nowadays are filled with Mat Rempits, so don't even bother looking for New Age Sensitive Males walking their dogs

But, the point is too much air-cond is bad for your skin, if you know what I mean

So, there's a Diving Centre next to Old Asia.
There were a bunch of people taking their diving lessons today.
What caught my eye was this teenage angmoh boy, about 16 or 17, shirtless and he was sitting around, waiting to put on his diving suit.

He wasn't looking out at the others practising their stuff in the pool.
Neither was he talking to anyone.
In fact, he was doing something very productive.
Half slurping my noodles, I have to admit it was quite amusing watching him diligently pulling out hairs from his left nipple.

He was concentrating so hard that he couldn't even hear his coach yelling out to him to have him put on his suit.

*tug tug tug*

*yank*

*ouch!*

That seems to be the order of the whole process.
He did it for the whole duration of me savoring my Curry Laksa till my last spoon.
And then he threw those little strands of hair into the pool.

While waiting for the bill to arrive, we lingered around longer.
Nipple Hair-Tugging Boy was walking past our table.
I couldn't help but stare at THE SPOT to check whether the area has indeed turned red as I would expect it to be.

Surprisingly, no.
The area was still as white as he was.
But really, shouldn't it turn red?!

Mr Tay pulls hair too.
His nostril fluff.
And he does it with much gusto that he always end up sneezing for the next half an hour.

... but you really wanna should stay away from getting more shoes, bags or clothes.

*feeling merry indeed*

I have a cough.
And I've been coughing every night for the past 3 days.

And today Sue pointed out that I have dark undereye circles.
Not just dark, she even described the color.
"Like purplish black like that."

11.20 Still no sign of Mr Tay
11.21 Annoying Guard came again. This time, was asked to move car away
11.22 Got off car into driver's seat and drove car into the streets of KL
11.24 Panicked. Where? How? Which turn?
11.26 Seached for hp to call Mr Tay. Left hp at home!!! Started mumbling, "Pls God, don't let me get lost around KL. Pls pls pls."
11.28 Saw a turn into the Maxis building area. IMMEDIATELY turned in and heaved a great relief, 'Hallelujah!'
11.30 Mr Tay appeared

11.55 Left Mr Tay at Maxis centre to do his thing and went shopping

boy and girl in the car...

girl: do you think your car's an Autobot or Decepticon?
boy: decepticon.
girl: *stopped breathing* *stares at boy with disbelief (almost tearing)* but whyyyyyy? *wails*
boy: hahahhaha. AUTOBOT la of coz! what kinda question was that!
girl: *phew* *don't have to dump him yet*

The movie was fantastic. Yes, we watched it a little later than the rest of our friends did, so I kinda had this huge expectation since EVERY SINGLE SOUL we spoke to, said it was so goddamn freakin' good.

And yes. IT WAS SO GODDAMN FREAKIN' OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD.

Anyways...

- why is Megatron not a gun in this movie?
- why is Bumblebee not a Volkswagen as he originally was?
- why is that annoying Frenzy (cd player) not retained as a cassette?
- and where is Rumble, his sidekick?
- why is the transforming sound used only twice? 1st - during Blackout's and 2nd - very subtlely in Sector Seven when they charged up the phone  *potong stim*
- and the mother of all questions: why is OPTIMUS PRIME so damn yau yeng!!!!!!!!!!! he da man robot!!!

Anyways, I am very pro at doing the Transformers sound. Nah-uh, not just any sound, but THE Autobots Transformation Sound. I do it all the time since the past couple of weeks to put a smile on Mr Tay's face and to which each time he goes, "not like that, stupid girl."

Hear ME do it, HERE *click*
The REAL transformation sound HERE 

*ring ring*

It's J-Card Day here at 1 Utama and the traffic leading towards Jusco and the office is pure madness. And I'm talking about traffic bumper-to-bumper by 8.10am! Doesn't Jusco open like 10am? Why are these people so kiasu?! I was told that only JCard members get to shop at Jusco today so does this mean they open earlier than 10am today? (ok, updated: they open at 9.30am today. STILL! traffic jam by 8am!)

Hmm.

Anyways, one of the astronauts, Syeikh Muzaffar is very handsome, no? Mr Tay said if there is a vote by popularity contest between the 2 astronauts, Handsome Astronaut will win hands down. So bad

Everyone goes through many different phases in life. These phases can be so amazingly colorful and exciting when taken a step back to analyze. I, for one, is secretly excited for some of these people.

Tina is getting married end of this year. This woman did her research so well that no matter what suggestions I throw at her, she'd most indefinitely come back with a no-go response. Tina is currently in a dilemma in deciding the location of her wedding shots.

How about Bukit Tinggi for some French flavor?
Cannot, photographers charge more if need to travel.
How about KLCC park?
Cannot, too many people walking around.
A beach would be nice. Ideal for me, though KL doesn't exactly have a nice beach.
Got, nearest beach is Bagan Lalang but the photographers are not familiar with that place.
Ok, Cyberview?
They won't allow unless you're having the wedding dinner there.

I give up! She researched well! Oh well, she has till this Saturday to decide. Poor woman, she sounded quite stressed. This whole marriage thing does seem like a lot of work huh!

Joanne has found a new job and is mightily excited about it. She's starting in about 2 week's time. New job always does bring about the indescribable feeling of starting anew, doesn't it? New colleagues, new desk, new stationaries, NEW WARDROBE, new bags, new shoes, new hairstyle for some, new makeup style, new everything. Almost a newfound joy and a brand new Joanne in the making *hee hee* All the best babes!

PF wants to fly away. Far far away, she says. I told her to get an airticket to Australia. She says she's been there. But girl, the whole idea is not whether you've been there or not, it's like buying yourself an escape route from this daily mundane life for awhile. I for one, heart solo trips. Does you wonders, makes you see a lot better and think a lot wiser. And great thing is you don't have to accommodate to everyone's whims and fancy, where to eat, where to go, i wait for you-you wait for me, etc. But she only wants to go Paris, 'nuff said, hah!

Chu is embarking on some very interesting projects with One Utama. I could almost felt a tinge of pride in his lengthy explainations while having lunch with him yesterday. I always have this envious feeling for people who enjoy what they're doing in life. AND SINCE WE'RE AT THIS SUBJECT, I will gladly share one of my many ambitions in life - to be a si tau poh of a quaint, cosy and pink boutique. Heh!

And knowing that I'll be going to Bali sometime soon, Chu had unabashedly requested that I bring back a nice Balinese vase for his new crib. Considered it done!

David my boyfriend of 21 months is very into work these days. He eats, sleeps and breathes Maxis. Thanks to him, I've gotten to know so well about the various Maxisian (eww, Ibmers sounds cooler, no?) characters eventhough I have never met them in life. My boyfriend now works 24 hours. The boss has recently gotten him a Blueberry (it's a Blackberry dammit, but I call it Blueberry because it's cute.) and that thing annoys me. Every time we're comfortably lounging on the sofa watching some tv, IT beeps, signalling new emails coming in. With each beep, the Maxis Slave will automatically jumps up, grabs that wretched Blueberry and taps away. It annoys me. But not annoying enough to want to break up with him.

Us. Into the 21st month and reaching closer to the impending 2-year mark, I can't profess enough how amazingly well-travelled this journey has been. He has taught me so much especially in handling various situations encountered with some very screwed up challenging homosapiens. For example, the case of Petty Man yesterday. He explained the ideal response to it was to laugh it off or back at Petty Man. And while you're at it ,throw in some sarcasm too, he says. But being the emo woman I am, my immediate response was anger(!) so how was I to laugh it back at Petty Man?! HOWEVER, now that I'm a lot more calmer and composed, I realized the boyfriend does have his points. The ultimate strategy at getting back at your enemies is always throwing back venomous darts of  piercing sarcasm at them, not anger. Remember this people!  

Anyways, many many months ago, I made a decision that this boy is good for me. That I should keep him by my side and have kept him close thus far. And despite having to compete with his new found obsession - that dreaded Blueberry - I am confident that he will be held even closer by my side for many many more months to come.

You may express it well with actions while I much prefer words, but at the end of the day, we're both telling one another the very same thing - that I found you, and gawd, you're just about right.
