the ever romantic boy says,

"die."

"what are we doing on the swing?"

"how do we get down?!"

i was on leave yesterday and was at klcc.

had a 2.30pm 'appointment' with six.am.

registered myself at the concourse area and got into the elevator. elevator stopped at fitness first gym. took a quick glance at the watch, 2.20pm, i've got time. got out of elevator to check out the gym. membership fee for fitness first gym is RM170.

RM170 vs RM149 (the one i am currently paying at celebrity fitness) with NO towels provided. hmm. gotta admit, for some twisted reason, i still love my gym. nope, not because of the occasional celebrities spotted in the gym, but really, i love my gym. maybe it's the corporate purple color it bears? i dunno. so, when i do eventually have to switch to fitness first, klcc... i will be so broken hearted.

got up to six.am. sat down and checked out the reception area at level 8.
first thought that came to mind, "impressive meh?"
that's coz mr tay said, six.am's office is nicer than eye-bee-m's.
i don't think so lor. looks pretty normal and standard to me.
i mean, how can you beat ogilvy's creation of the butterfly wall at eye-bee-m's level 19! :P

they play creepy classical music in all their elevators. don't get me wrong, i love classical music but for some reason, at that moment when i was riding up to level 17 for the 'appointment', images of psycho killers torturing their victims amidst the sick atmosphere of chirpy classical sounds came to my mind.

think, hannibal lecter. muahahhahaha.

anyways

the 'appointment' lasted a good 1 hr and 15 min.
for some reason, i was not thoroughly excited like i used to be when attending these sort of 'appointments'.
i've lost it. i know it, mr tays knows it.
we both soooo want to quit our 9-5 jobs, quit earning peanuts and start doing something by ourselves.
which by the way, the fellas at six.am said my current salary in eye-bee-m was too high for them to match and had asked whether i'd mind a paycut.

HELLO???

yes. i do mind actually. my personal rationale is pretty simple:

damansara perdana to eye-bee-m - 10 min away by car
damansara perdana to six.am - horrendous traffic, 45min?

but of course, this wasn't mentioned during the 'appointment'. i don't mind traveling that 45 min, but seriously the paycut???

pretty shocking to me, really. to be asked for a paycut when all along, i thought i was being paid peanuts over here. hehe. mr tay said no. a firm NO. don't accept if there's gonna  be a paycut. he was actually more pissed than me

i don't know. she will come back to me within this week and we'll see how it goes.

working for eye-bee-m is afterall wayyy cooler than six.am, i reckon

there's this guy, by the name of VialentinoTay who has just requested to be added into my list on facebook.

VIALENTINO TAY. not even valentino but VIALentino.

wondered whether it could be one of mr tay's cousins trying to be funny.
so checked his profile out.
nahhhh, definitely not related to mr tay.
we have 1 common friend though - ryan hew. hmm.

sunday lunch buffet at shangri-la
- daddy, mommy, brother, mr tay & yours truly.

for RM75++ per person, i only ate food worth RM40, i think.

i took:

some fresh oysters, ate 3
1 mussel
2 huge ass abalone slices, which was yucky and was then discreetly discarded away under the piles of bones and shells
a pile of asparagus, only managed like 5 stalks, then discreetly discarded as well
a couple of steamed dim sum
a few spoonfuls of fake shark fin soup
some mushrooms
mr tay fed me with a lot of sashimi, yummm
mr tay fed me a spoonful of beef rendang

that was it. totally did not even try the noodles, pasta, fish, chicken, lamb, briyani rice, satay, and 1 million of other foodies there.

and it was all because of these:

i love the colorful swirly marshmallows!

these, i never touched. not a fan of tarts

i love this shot

 
we kept stalking this pink-dressed little girl

the bottom right - chocolate brownie fudge was soooooooooo gooooood

chocolate and vanilla creme brulee in minicups :)

daddy and mommy behind senior and junior cuppies :)

brother amist the chocolate mess caused by yours truly

boy: wuahhh, damn full!
girl: uh-huh
boy: think i go take ice cream now
girl: *speechless*

baby's 2 spoonfuls of vanilla topped with strawberries, nuts, gummi bears and drizzled with chocolate sauce
i had to finished ALL the gummi bears because he went, 'ewwww' after trying one and because i made him add the gummi bears in the first place

"hello!!! i'm back!"

"no. don't want to look at kor-kor's camera."

"oklah, one last pose for you. stop stalking me!"

mr tay and i are bringing her, dad and my bro for a buffet lunch/dinner at shangri-la this sunday.

speaking of which, i need to get her a cake.

stumbled upon this wonderful wonderful site: pinkcakebox.com

i.e. square, round, urghh.

I LOVE TOPSY TURVY CAKES

Toadstool Fairy Princess Castle

Stack of Pink Presents

she's good stuff

alternatively, there's this lady who bakes wonderful cakes from home at bandar utama. sue got her to bake a birthday cake for her cute 1 yr old niece, chloe recently.

last night i dreamt that mom gave birth to a baby boy. and i was extremely happy to be taking care of him. was even telling myself in the dream that, 'hey, this is cool since i won't be having a kid of my own for now, this baby brother will do.'

HAHAHA. thanks Sandman.

an email was promptly sent to mom:

i dreamt that you gave birth to another baby boy. so i have 2 brothers now. haha.

regards,
your daughter

mom, the dream interpretor, replies:

maybe you like babies or you wish to get married. how was the pancake that you made yesterday?

regards,
mommy

budget One-Two-Go airlines, carrying 123 passengers, crashed in phuket yesterday, killing 88 passengers.

i am tv series LOST #1 fan. and have always fantasized crashing into an island, get stranded there with a bunch of people and just live there. you know like, building your own village from scratch - build huts, collect coconuts, go fishing, collect crabs by the seashore, dry your clothes on the clothesline hung from tree to tree, catch sunset and sunrise with mr tay (he will be crashing with me of course) and hey, no 9-5 jobs! $$$ is worthless if you're stranded in a primitive island - tip#1 from LOST

ANYWAYS, before i go jibbering more crap on my island-stranded fantasy, i just want to say, this piece of news shook me up. big time.

suddenly, it was no more fun crashing into an island. deaths, blood, cuts, abrasions, broken body parts, people crying, smoke, plane splitting into 2 - don't sound so fun anymore.

Sunday's plane crash was Thailand's deadliest since December 1998, when 101 people were killed in a Thai Airways crash at Surat Thani, 330 miles south of Bangkok. Forty-five people survived. - the boston globe

maybe it's wiser not to travel by Thai Airways, if you can, from now on.
