Christmas Diary 06

I always forget what I do for Christmas. SO this year, I’ll record it down here.

On the 23rd,
We went to Pei Sze’s mini BBQ party, small but quality crowd. And we exchanged gifts like how we did when we were younger.

Then we went for our karaoke session, we were craving for it since last week. They had fun more than I do.

On the 24th,

We went dinner at Logen Haus. I think they served good food here but I would expect a little more on their ambience.

After dinner, we head up to Heritage Row to meet up with the rest. What else? Party ON…

On the 25th,

I found my present under the Christmas Tree.

We share lasagna for dinner.

We went to a friend’s house for Christmas party. He said BBQ but turn out it’s buffet. Got food here la but lasagna was good.

They wanted to watch movie. I suggested Ben Stiller’s latest movie and they said ok. Jacs Syndrome – Night at the Cinema. Rog said there’s one showing at 12. Happily we convoyed there and to know that it’s going to be release only on the 28th. What a big joke!

So we watched Barnyard.Favourite quote from the movie “ A strong man thinks for himself, A STRONGER MAN thinks for others”

Spa-nish

I got an invitation from my dear childhood friend for a day in the spa and this is the place that I wanted to go since last year but what I longed from the spa menu was really fcuking expensive (more than 1k) so I dropped that. Anyway, this time is an offer and obviously I accepted since I’m the chosen one. Although this will be the standard entry, I’ll still take it to experience what life is all about after working your ass out for the entire year.

Agenda for the Day

- If you are hungry, pick your food from the menu.
- Else, change and dip yourself in the hot Jacuzzi pool.
- Then, dip yourself into the 14c cold pool to close your pores. Kim says she can see my body all turn to red. Although it was only for that few sec inside the water but it's freakin cold and once you get out from it, I felt like an ice cracking due to the change of tempearature. This one is a must try! Shioking :)
- After this head on to steam room or sauna but their steam room is under maintenance. Boo hoo, I always prefer steam room.
- Moving on, get a hot shower with their lavender shower gel. Shampooed and conditioned my hair ( I put damm a lot of conditioner, hehe) My whole body smells so lavender…
- Mmm..hungree, went to the lounge and cuddle myself nicely with the blanket covered around me and asked for my food menu. If you already ate when you first came in, then this is will be your 2nd round. Quite a lot to pick from entrée, soups, snacks, main course, desserts and beverages.
- Then after makan you can sit back and smoke (free ciggies) or get a beer (limited 2 per person). For me, no smoking nor drinking, so I grabbed some mags available while watching the projected screen on the wall. You can choose plasma too.
- After awhile you can arrange your treatment service with the attendants available and I chose Shiatsu instead of aromathereaphy. So there I go, my first Shiatsu. Waa lau eh, I almost died suffocating when they stepped on my back. I lift up my hands, a sign to inform the masseuse ENOUGH!! Beside that, the rest of it was good. I like the hot and cold pack, very relaxing. Told my dad about how they step on my back, he HAAA, GIRL OR GUY? Me: (U think I go hanky panky???) But the fact is my dad was worried that if a guy step on my back, it would be too heavy and he said better don’t do that because might break my spinal cord. So I think no more Shiatsu for me.
- Now, back to the lounge and you know what you can do at the lounge ( food, ciggies & beverages)
- I chose to do my mani and pedi but manicurist only have the slot to either one for me. So only French Mani for me. Pssst, they have male manicurist which I think it’s sexy but too bad only for the men. If you want other service you can go for facial or go dip in the jaccuzzi again.
- After all that, LOUNGE AGAIN. Imagine the number of times you can eat in a day. Really pushes you to the limit.
- Finally, if you are tired and bored of the holistic pampering, CHANGE AND GO BACK.


Thank you Kim

Poor Piggie Piggie

So sad that you need to undergo the pain from the stones, I thought of it all night to see what I can do to fight for your right, to prove that you are innocence. You did nothing wrong. My poor piggie..

Prosperity Ping

I’ve been pursuing something that I wasn’t able to see clearly for a long long time. Never imagine how unreal it is now. Never cross my mind that this would how the ending be. Many times at the last page of the story book, it would be ……………. And they lived happily ever after. Who wouldn't want every chapter of their life to be happily ever after but reality always bites.

This certainly has drenched me out in many ways but today I’ve learned. I’m surprised to see how strong I am, I thought I would crumble but no I didn’t. I’m happy instead.

I still have faith in you, The Gohonzon. Thank you

Rewind

Referring to the blog I posted 4 months ago, I said I completed my task for the next 3 months. I know this is 1 month late but at least I can still remember (giving reason to myself). I took out my diary and searched for the list I’ve written down 4 months ago. Flipped, flipped, and yeap there it is! A not so long winding page which I categorize into segments of my life. Look quite focus and structured and so I go through it one by one and remembering how I exactly felt at that moment when I wrote it. Little did I noticed time has just pass me by and I’ve forgotten what I supposed to achieve while some I still keep it in my mind. I’m happy for those which I have achieved while for those which haven’t, I’ll compile it together with my New Year resolution.

Zen'ish

I was seated and was served with some herbal tea, I couldn't figure out what was it. Not lavender nor ginger. Anyway, I took a few sip while waiting for my masseuse to attend me. She then came with a pot of water with flowers, herbs and oil. I took off my heels and rested my feet while they carefully scrub my feet to remove the dirt sticking on my feet. eee..I feel a bit ticklish but I controlled myself, not to show the jakun face la. She then lifted up my feet and so I slipped into the Balinese like sandals they prepared for me.

As I was walking my private room, the whole ambience was really tranquil with candles,grey round stones, fake orchids resting around the hallway plus the lighting was extremely dim which sets you to a real romantic, sensual and relaxing mood. Definitely not like those massage centers I went before. I like this.

When I entered the room, the bed was placed on the floor while the usual case is the stand up beds where you rest your face on the hollow. This room reminded me of Thailand. They do provide disposable G but I was lazy to change. Furthermore, I was already wearing one.

I lay there restlessly while waiting for my masseuse. The music playing at the background was really soft as I was trying hard to listen what they are playing. Can you imagine how quiet the place is? So she started with my left foot, I can feel her strength pressing on my toes. It was just alright, I don’t feel any bit of tickle like how I felt earlier. Moving on, she went to my legs, my thighs, my buttocks, my hands, shoulder and then I turned to the front so she can repeat the same thing. I won't spare the details of how the way she rubbed her hands and fingers against my body. With the right amount of oil and the momentum she was going, I was so relaxed and comfortable with her skills. I trusted her not to make me feel any pain or discomfort, basically I surrender myself to her. And I felt asleep for the first time of all the massage I went. She was really really good. When I opened my eyes, it was already towards the end of the session. She asked do I want a face and head massage and I nodded. So she didn't messed up my hair or my eyes because I still had my eyeliner on. Unlike those I went, they make me look more like a real panda (my dark circles was already bad).

Damm! Kiki was good and so she was tipped for her good service.

I will be back KiKi :)

About The Smile

So I decided to write about this and stopover at J's blog. Ironically, I had the same thought about "The Smile" too.

J quote "The hypothetical question is that why we are able to smile to the world at any time but its just so difficult to do that at home with the ones that meant the most?"

And Su Lee & love was also having this conversation.

Here we are, 3 ppl from 3 different continents (America, Europe, Asia) sharing the same thoughts about "The Smile"

Lim-Jiusm

When the alcohol level goes beyond your limit;

1. You puke, puke, puke and puke.
2. You talk like a smooth operator.
3. Or you talk like a philosopher.
4. The world is beautiful.
5. Suddenly your motto in life is honesty is the best policy.
6. Your anger management is well handled and you smile a lot.
7. You get lots of number that you don’t even know the next morn’ you wake up.
8. You go MIA. You’ll find Mr Lim sleeping in his car while his friends are frantically searching hi and lo for him.
9. You look for a couch/chair/stool or whatever platform that you can sit and be quiet. That’s when we kinda appreciate Nonee’s presence.
10. You throw one of your sandals outside the garden, and then the other, throw the Corona bottles and pull the garden spotlight off. Yes, Mr SG, we couldn’t find your sandals and we walked back with you barefooted. Thanks for telling me what a drunkard master is. Hats Off!!
11. You snore extremely loud as if you lose control of the normal pattern of your breathing. It makes sense when my aunt tells me she lives in the zoo at night.
12. You last very long, definitely more than you always perform. Don’t you all Agree ;)
13. You sleep within seconds after the session. Sucks la!
14. And you said I love you baby! There you go Sweetooth!
15. Tongued a hot chick.


What else??

Hottest Hunk Malaysia 2006

I reached there at 9pm, the show has just started. Damm, I was going in circle for about 20 minutes to look for a parking space and I don’t want to miss an inch of it. And so we decided to park beside a car and wanted to write a note and say sorry to block your way, please call me. But we couldn’t find any paper or pen. So Ms Tong found a pencil but we can’t see the tip of the lid. So she broke it into 2 and took out the lid. Then she tears of the KFC cheesy wedges paper storage we bought earlier for dinner. And I wrote like a 3 year old kid, and then she said she wanted to try. As she was writing, we heard someone unlock their car! Waa, just nice, throw away the pencil, the lid, the paper.

The time is already 9.40pm. Quickly, we rushed to the venue and that place was really packed!! Luckily it was not his turn yet. So we watched a few contestants until he came out. He said he was practicing hard in the gym these few days, well I can see the muscles show off than the normal days. WOO, we gave our best cheers to him. He did his Kung Fu stunt which scores really well. Everyone was cheering out loud.

Next was the fashion show while waiting for the judges to produce the results. Ya, there were a few cute hunks J slurping. Finally the much awaited time for him, after months of training and photo shooting session, 30 of them stand on the stage waiting for the 12 names to be called. Each of them, one by one, the emcee made us called their number. Yaa Paat Hou (28)!!!!! Guess his heart must be pumping real fast. After calling out 8 names, 4 more names to go. I was like how come his number is not out yet. And then, his picture was projected on the screen. Yes!! No 28!! He GOT IT!!

Retarded Connection

It’s somewhat frustrating when I want to publish my blog so bad but the ever sucky not stable internet connection is not allowing me to do so. It is just beyond my control in this situation. Eee, I don’t like this. It’s already after 3pm and the internet connection is still not up yet. What time do I need to wait until?

I can feel the pain near my tailbone due to the number of hours sitting in front of the laptop reading outdated emails, replying and forwarding some work emails and was on a quality call with Pat. The chat was invigorating but now my mood dampens a bit because I still cannot get my free pass for tonight much anticipating event. Thanks for being the last minute person Ah Ping! I’ve called a number of people to help me through this, thank you thank you. The rain and thunder outside makes me sleepy and my colleague is playing some Chinese instrumental song, woo that really helps.

Ooh finally, you called and you managed to get the free passes for me. YAY!! Muah muah!!

So one thing is solved, now back to the retarded internet connection again.

[publishing this from home, 24hours after I actually wrote the above]

I feel gooood, da da da da da…

Yes I’m in the mood to boogey woogey.
I woke up very early today compared to Mon, Tue, Wed, and Thurs. While I was driving to work, the radio was playing my kind of music for my kind of mood. Don’t care those driver next to me was noticing me grooving along the way to the rhythm but I do feel good. Came in the office, give a quick buzz to Ms Tong and she sounded as excited as my mood today when I said wanna go check out some HOT MEN tonight?? That clicked right away.

2 HOT CINDERELLA CHICKS are out on their hunt

P/S: But the dress code is RED, erm how to look like Cinderella

[Wrote this on a Friday morning at work, but due to retarded internet connection I need to publish this from home]

Here I Am

Echoes, thunders, loads of &^$%#(@, the various sound effect. With my hands resting on the table while I'm typing this, I can feel the vibration on the table transmitted by the sound of the speaker sitting right beside me.

I tried to be part of the crowd but my fingers are tired trying my best to manoeuvre the car with the keyboard. Yes, you need a lot of concentration in front of the screen. I hardly blinked my eyes, just to make sure I finish the race but I didn't finished for the past 5 games (3 laps for each game). Call it no talent or ya you can call me Loser!

Here I am, totally alienated from all the people sitting in this room. And my eyes are tired and filled with tears. Not only that I didn't get sleep well last night, but I've been sleeping early for the past few nights so it’s like my body has been tuned to turn off at a particular time. Thank goodness, it’s a non smoking room.

So do I spoil it all by saying “Hey, I'm kinda tired, are we ready to leave?” or just being Miss Accommodative and still give your best smile at the end of the day?

Domestically Me

Don't laugh but one of my ambitions is to be a florist.

Should I not cut the stalk by an inch or just leave it? Err, but then it’s a bit too long to complement the rest of the stalks. How do I place the dry flowers? In between the flowers? Left? Right? Front or in the middle? Aiya! Simply la! Although I’m not a professional myself but I’m proud of my artwork.

Ka-Chak Chynna!

Thanks SC for your encouragement to make me write today. It was flattering!

Abubu! Ka-Chak Ka-Chak! Hehe.. that is one of the cutest thing I’ve ever heard. They pulled me and held my hand. Immediately I felt the warmness even though they were total stranger, even though we don’t understand each other lingual. They mimic was the only tool of communication between us. So that gave me a thought that the basic underlying communication between any living being is at least the passion, the emotion and feelings of full enthusiasm which will ultimately create the bond.

Magnetism

Another char boh with her mood swings.
Is it normal that every girl out there has the same syndrome? Can we put the blame on the oestrogens level within us? We can produced the sweetest honey in the world and immediately on the second minute we can look like a sourplum or a bittergourd.
And for tar poh with their mood swings.
They are like rubberband where they can come and go without giving you any signs. Does that depends also on the level of testosterone in them which makes them behaves that way?

Conclusion, I think the difference between female and male is so intriguing and can never be changed but by compromising each other differences will definitely bring them to another day.

**Next question, how much can a person compromise? No measurement can be taken in place.

Memorabilia

Remember this??
One of the books that I will pick up from the book shelves is this. Printed in the brown color paper, looked like recycled to me. I used to read it while mummy is working, I’ll paused my reading and looked at her how she wash and blow their hair, set the curlers, or spraying their hair with gold dust for those who wants to go for dinner. Hats off to her PR skills, she really can talk. Somehow I think I inherited it (hope in a good way). Guess this bring back some memories to some of you too.

Hmm.. I sound boring today

Night of Broken Glass

How can you mend a broken glass? The cracks are still visible although you try to patch it back, sometimes its worse that it will not return to its original state.

Incomplete Slumber Party

Sorry for taking such a long time to put this up. We had a great time last week at Yings'. We sat at the verandah with beers, ciggies, pizzas, tissues for the tears (I guess it was me only :) or did you all?? before I arrived) and of course some music to ease the moods. Don’t remember we had all these when we had slumber party last time. It was only us, the bed and sometimes the cassette player. I recalled me and J clad in our pajamas, carried our mini pillows and walked happily to Ying’s house. It wasn’t tiring to walk around at all but with the ability to drive now, walking to Ying’s house somehow became a distance. Back then, it was safe to walk around at night. No patrolling in the neighbourhood unlike now some had to pay monthly protection fee to the security company but still there are break in’s happening. We had only young boys in their BMXs, mountain bikes, racer bikes and the more advance motor “modified cars” , vroom,vroom!! patrolling the neigbourhood. They will slow down and try their luck to know us but most of the time to no avail. Mom said “Don’t talk to strangers”. That reminds me of the ever famous greeting kissing sound, err I just can’t do that!

Anyway, after sending off Ms T home, we came back to Ying's residence. 10dollar (you wanted to upgrade your currency denomination to dollar) laid on a wood platform outside the verandah. Brilliant! I slipped off my heels, tip toed on the damp grass and excitingly lay on my back staring up the dark sky. Not even 10 mins, Ying was rushing us to bunk into her room because she is too tired to lepak outside. Reluctantly me and 10 dollar said ok but with one condition 10dollar want to schmooke in her room. So she did, with the beers sleeping beside her. We had some photo session with our prominent dark circles too. So Kim shared a bed with Ying, me and 10 dollar. Well we talked and talked and talked to sleep.

Miss you all PSs’ and J!!! When can we have everyone gathered again?? 1st of May Before I forget, I told 10 dollar that I will put up her quote. “Sometimes we don’t get what we always want therefore we tend to treasure on things we don’t really want” So does it mean we settle for less??

Indescribable Feeling!!
Life is Precious

Thunder Only Happens When It's Raining

Since young, I had this thought of what if tomorrow never comes or I had only days to live? Answer is : I will want to gather my loved ones around me and spent every inch of the remaining time I had. On second thought, I’m not sure will I be in time to gather everyone that I wanted them to be with me when they are not within my reach of means. What stir up my thought for today?

Because I heard the loudest thunder yesterday midnight. It was extremely scary as it sounded more like a bomb and I felt the tremor. I woke up from my bed and pulled away the curtain. A half awake bewildered girl looking out the window, question and question thrashed into my blurry mind. Am I dreaming? Is there a bombing or is it another natural disaster striking the vulnerable earth again? Is it the Armageddon? Life flashes like an instant, will there be another tomorrow? Have I done to my utmost ability? Have you?

Something that I would like to share,
SGI President Ikeda said “Please exert yourselves vigorously with the determination to live each day to the fullest, so that you may compose a golden diary of life.”

Forging My Life

I've completed my task list for the next 3 months. Be prepared for the worst to come. Happiness is achieved through struggles and hardships in life. Don't give up and work tenaciously towards my mission. This is human revolution!

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) the great Italian Renaissance artist, writer and inventor wrote : "Bars of gold are refined in the fire", "No perfect talent without great sufferring"

Shapes of Life

The spell took over me, I had never imagine something like this will land on me but the truth is, it happen. I knew the risk I got to endeavour. Nevertheless, I single mindedly hope, work and pray. Patience, consideration and compassion are some to describe. John Gray helped me whenever I needed assistance. Sleepless night but it’s worth a while. Sometimes I slipped, sometimes I tumbled but I stand up again and fight against it. Just like The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein, sometimes we rolls by too fast and we miss or a hit and run. But at times, we roll by slowly looking for that missing piece just to fit in perfectly into the circle with a wedge- shaped.

Officially A Blogger

I have never thought of putting up a blog, it is one of the outrageous things I would do. I'll look silly of announcing myself to the world and so I was contemplating should I have my own blog or should I start to write a diary/journal like (H suggestion to keep it personal). K started right after our encounter and I find it ridiculous at that moment. Now, I respect every individual has their reason of why they would want to start a blog. Everything happens for a reason.

The reason of my attempt to start my own blog is plainly that I wanted to capture my moments in life, how it affected me and vow to be a better person towards my family, my friends, my career and never to forget in Gakkai. So now here I am, creating my blog space.
