Having a bad day?

Ever had one of those days where you just feel like giving your two cents worth and saying "UP YOURS, MAN! to the world just because things didn't go your way. I'm pretty sure we all had one of those days. Yeah, I know it sucks but sometimes, these little - or even big - annoying things are the very lessons in life that make you a better person. I know your'e probably thinking "What the hell is she going on about?" and "Don't get all inspirational on me!" but I read this mail - a really long ago mail - because I'm trying to clear up mails which I have not read since god only knows when. "I get lazy to read my mails. Bluek!" Anyway, it was about how some people were lucky to be alive from 9/11 - "I know...Why do you think I'm clearing up my mail?" - for having to do "one of those annoying things":

The head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. (How I wish I could give this excuse when I'm late - "I treasure my life way more than work!...Hahaha")
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.
One of them missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
One's car wouldn't start.
One went back to answer the telephone .
One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn't get a taxi.
One man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.

This is why they are alive today.


This mail is pretty insightful if you think about it. Youre supposed to feel all appreciative and "I'm gonna live today as if it were my last" kinda thing. But Get ReaLLLL! Who really does that? Unless youre dying of some terminal disease and were told that you had like a few weeks left to live, but by then you would LITERALLY live as if tomorrow were your last. So let's have a moment of silence for those who passed on because of our own doing - "Oh, I don't know - causing global warming that played probably a major role in the earthquakes in China and soon enough the DESTRUCTION of the whole world..."

You've gotta admit to that last bit though. GLOBAL WARMING is kicking the shit out of us. Petrol prices are sky-rocketing. Child labour goes on while we shut both eyes. The clothes, shoes, and probably everything else you wear and own are the products of child labour. Poverty is every-fucking-where! I hate it when politicians or government officials go on to say - especially during pre-election times, "By year 2010, poverty will forever more be eradicated!" Ok, so maybe not exactly in that year or in that way but COME ON! ... Poverty is always going to be there. Life ain't getting easier. It's just getting worse. They'll just be more and more people sky-diving below that poverty line. And you know what... It's our own doing. If people weren't so frggin GREEDY and sincerely cared about making this world a better place, we wouldn't be having any of the above problems. If youre gonna ask me, "What do you suggest we do?" I pretty much as clueless as you are. But I guess, we have to save the environment first for own well being so GO GREEN! Think before you throw. Basically follow what those corny ads tell you to do because this world just might turn out to be a better place to live in if we actually cared...

We are the world...
We are the children...

"cause' it's ladies night..."

Friday evening, I get a text message...

missboobsie : Babe, Up for clubbing tonight?:) Let's go paint the town gold:)
Let me know

Anything to do with catching up with friends, I am always up for it :) So after gym-ming and having quality time with my aunts and uncles - as if i don't spend enough time with them alreadyyyy. Hehe... Just joking. It's always free lunch or dinner with them. Good company to have around. Hah! Anyway, were supposed to meet up at 10-something as that WAS the plan. But knowing Malaysian-timing as well as Sybil's timing, I am NEVER on time. So, I get the car at about 10.45 and I speed down the highway to missboobsie's no. 39. I am there at 11. Cool eh?..

No Kids, you should never speed. Haha...Everyone is a hypocrite. Sue me.

Okay, fine. Picture time again...

"I have no idea what they were yapping about. The place was so loud!"

Meet missaliciahew. She's the sweetest thing you can find. But beware... Looks can be deceiving!

Okay..Notice the guy at the back in green. He and his bunch of Mat Salleh friends start trying to take the dance floor. They keep looking at us dance. But he was the cutest among the lot. Seriouslyyyy... He was pretty hot. But, they weren't the only ones. This 2 other chaps next to our table kept staring at us and finally asked us if we wanted drinks but we already had drinks. Hah! "Malu gilerrr" So, my point for this la-di-da story is that even after some time of not clubbing, "my girls don't make heads turn, we break necks!" "So corny, I know"
Nice heels, eh? Yes, I am putting ONLY this picture of my heel at missboobsie's butt because I'm not gonna show my hair yet! I swear everyone is just in shock when they see me. It's like...

"OHMYGOD! SYBIL WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?"

But missboobsie and missdeetan think it's a refreshing start. I think so too... I guess... I feel so "air-y" now since there's nothing blocking the ventilation around my neck. HAHA!

So that was my Friday night. I reached home pretty late and konk-ed out until the sun hit my face and I just couldn't go back to sleep. Sheeeshhh! Groggy and feeling a lil crappy, I still go for tennis lessons. I think I seriously sucked today. Damn! I better start bucking up. So, after tennis, I text message missboobsie to ask what's her plans because I was effing bored and itchified to go out. I take the dogs out and whoooshhhhh! I was on my way to no. 39! We have dinner with the Lewis' at GREENVIEW RESTAURANT near ss2. Good Sang Ha Mee! Hehe... On our way back, we spot this!


Being the busy-bodies they were, we stopped to take a look and see if everything was alright and of course to know what happened. Apparently, the driver slept off and crashed into the wall at the mouth of the road going into Jalan Carey. No one was hurt. Just a shaken up driver and his 2 relatives and a dog. Yes, you read right - a dog was in the car! I wonder if the dog is ok though. Dogs don't normally get into car accidents - at least not being in the car and having one. Hahaha.. So, remember kids, not only don't speed! Don't fall asleep!!!

Be afraid. Be very afraid of...

THE TEDDY BEAR.

One: It's gigantic!
Two: It makes girls ignore their friends and talk to it. Let me tell you why...

After busy-bodying, my 2 saddistic friends start emo-ing with the teddy bear. They start talking to the teddy bear!!!! As if I suddenly just blended in with the room and was invisible... Blehh! Thank God missboobsie got all itchy and decided to have her Belgian Chocolate at CoffeeBean in Jaya 33. Sad, isnt it - talking to a giant teddy bear?

"No! I am not jealous of the teddy bear!"

I have really small feet...
Our chat session lasted until midnight because we had to send Cinderella - missdeetan - back home. It was a very good chat - quite intellectual actually. It was so good seeing you two and catching up!

"Cause' it's ladies night and were feeling right... Sing with me now..."

O brother!

I love long weekends. Especially when they're back to back. Last week was self-proclaimed of course. Hehe. With the whole holiday thingy-ma-jig ging on. So, this week is Wesak Day which is the celebration of Buddha's birthday. There's still something I can't get though. Buddha was a Hindu! from India. I really wonder why more Chinese are Buddhists than Indians are. Hmm... Does anyone have an answer to that?

Anyway, say
CHEEEEEZZZZZZEEEEEEEE
because it's picture time from irene's birthday barbeque thing last night...

"Come give Big Mama some lovin!''
Hahaha.. I love taking candid pictures...

Can you read what it says? It's actually pretty funny...

The Lewis'"LOBSTER!" I know Johhhhhh!

Myself and Andrea Wong
Barbeque-ed crab
DarlingDee...
Assuntarians... I've known this bunch since I was 11. Time really does fly, doesn't it?

"She's finally done it. She's cut her hair so short her brother thinks he found his long lost brother!"

and yes, I am talking about myself... but no.....no one is seeing me in short hair just yet on this blog or facebook for that matter!

IRON MAN

Woot! I watched Iron Man twice. The twice part mainly because The Chronicles of Narnia 2: Prince Caspian was sold out. Pfff.... But this time, I stayed to watch the after credits. Thanks to a certain someone for pointing it out - and also for saying "you suck!!!! How can you not watch it???*

It was a hell of a long wait. It was sort of worth it, because we were like the only ones left in the cinema. Haha. So, we can brag about being the very few devoted MARVEL fans seeing it! Hehe.. Iron Man has got to be the best comic adaption I have seen so far. Awesome-ness... I doubted Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills. I didn't think he would suit Tony Stark's character but heck, he put me to shame and everybody else who doubted him. He's effing buff as well. Tony Stark's remarks and musings in the movie make you laugh because he's so random, amusing, and right all at the same time. Gwyneth Paltrow suited her character, Pepper Potts.. Such a cute name, isnt it? She's so sweet. She has honest feelings for her boss which is so much sweeter...

Tony Stark is the son of Howard Stark - I think that's his name. Both geniuses in the engineering world. Stark Industries cater to the All-American weaponry sensation. There's some under-table business going on that triggers Tony to do something "good" for once. He sees with his own eyes that the weapons he created to protect his fellow Americans are ironically used to kill them. As life is famously noted for, SHIT HAPPENS... He realizes certain things and tries to turn over a new leaf. Hence, the making of IRON MAN


Overall, I thought it was a good movie. Good humour. Pretty good story line. And good music too!! It starts with AC/DC's Back in Black and ends with Black Sabbath's Ironman. All the way rock! It suited the movie. =) I can't wait for the sequel....

Moral of the story:

Watch the after credits

And no, I won't spoil your fun. Go watch it!

Surprising IrresistibleIrene@delicious

After coming back from my trip, I am so sunburnt that I look drunk 24/7. It's so bad I picked up a few nicknames: TOMATO and LOBSTER just to name a few... Hmmph!!Anyway, this post is not about me but about a very old friend; not literally - just an expression. So...

HaPPY BiRtHDay IrEnE JeSSiCA LeWIS

The poor girl was blindfolded from her house all the way to delicious@Bangsar Village II. Edwuin. her boyfriend, planned the whole thing. She got what she wanted - her family and friends all around her on her last -teen birthday. But we all know she's jumping for joy at her overly expensive I-mac and Ipod touch! I know deep down you wanted an LV bag isn't it? but you better be grateful biatch! I'm happy to get hand me downs if you don't want them though. Hahaha. Kidding...

Okay... Picture time...

Look how RED I am next to missdeetan

Assuntarians for life!
This girl and her balloons! She insisted on taking like ALL the pics with the balloons in them!
missleong, misslewis, misstan,mrslewis

Irene's friends, Amir (I think) and Dara (Amir's gf) and her uber cool teacher from uni
I haven't seen this girl in ONE WHOLE YEAR! on Irene's birthday as well. You better start making plans to meet up more often. I'm leaving!
another missandrea but her surname is wong paired together with missdeetan

The royal couple

Because she was blindfolded, she kept tripping up the steps and nearly "jatuh seperti cempedak busuk". Hahahaha One of Irene's collegemates made this. It took her 2 days to complete it. Thank your lucky stars you have such niceeeeeeeeee friends. We know you love us. How about sharing that Ipod-touch??Hehehe...

Youre only 19 once in your life. I know you had a good one - wait, I mean GREAT one - because I was there! Hehe. Love you loads. Yes, I know you want pics. Coming online once in a while might help speed up the process of me sending it to you.

Toodles bitches.

Lang Tengah Island

Been keeping pretty low on the blogosphere I know, but I'm back and hopefully here to stay until August that is. I was on holiday with the family for 3 days at Redang Lang Resort which is the ONLY resort on Lang Tengah Island (next to Redang Island). We left the house about 2.30 Saturday morning so we could cruise along the highway and reach the jetty by 8-ish. Might I add that the whole world was busy partying to Tiesto at Port Dickson while I had to pack up to Terrengganu. Okayyyy..Enough sobbing. There's always another time, I hope. So, we get there and have break fast here. It's like a house but a part of it is used as a restaurant - the creativity of Malaysians.

And on the way to the jetty after breakfast, we saw Bee's family. *inside family joke* because she's born in the year of the cow. Hahaha...Imagine having to stop for cows or goats in Kuala Lumpur. Hah! They'd be beef and mutton in no time...

So, here we are at the so-called jetty. I think if you jump hard enough on it, you'll fall flat into the polluted river - Yukkkk!!!!!

We parked our cars at the jetty for rm10 a day under the shaded area. If it's not shaded, it's rm 5. But knowing the sun, it's never a good idea to leave your car out in the open especially if youre staying 7-friggin-hours away from actually civilization in the concrete jungle. Hehe.

This is the boat we rode in to Lang Tengah. It practically made everyone seasick. Thank God I don't have motion sickness.

BigMama, Talon-the-Melon, and Mr.Buff-Sean

This is us before everyone else started getting seasick. Apparently, people take "assam" to not feel seasick. I don't know if it actually works but if it helps not making people vomit. By all means, take it!!!

Voodooman, Pau-Pau- Damien

Me, Talon-the-melon, Mr. BuffBee, Adeline-Energizerette,BlurrAnny(Desmond's girlffriend), Bak-Pau-Desmond

So.... Finally, after like an hour of that boatride-from-hell, we reached our destination! Woot! Just check out the water! Would you expect this is in Malaysia, considering all we do in KL town is stare at some brown muck in the Klang "River"??

And that's the jetty..I'm serious...Half the time, when you get out, the water is already covering it. It's funny when petite-Chinese usually-girls come out and let out a short of a scream to their boyfriends to get everything while they try not to get their shoes wet. I pity the boyfriends...

Beautiful, isn't it?

Being all hiped up about the place, we got our snorkelling gear with flippers and all.

It's a waste of time using slippers, trust me...Not unless you're helluva good swimmer and has no need for the float. So, don't get so enthralled about it when they ask what gear you want. Get the float and the snorkelling goggles. That's really all you need. And, if you use the flippers, you can only walk backwards with it. You don't want to be caught looking like this...

The place all in all is pretty nice. There's a game-room that has mahjong, an un-usable foosball table: don't ask me why... There just is. And a British pool table which is in pretty bad condition as well - still usable though...There's cable too, thank God!..I watched F1 and the not-so-happening MU match. I know they won. I heard enough!!!! Bluek!

Chalets we stayed in

Most people are gathered here to eat. The food aint great but it's alright.

Pretty relaxing just sitting outside the chalet...

This was just outside the diving centre. I had to take a picture of it!

After some briefing, we were told we had to go to the Redang Marine Partk at 2p.m. after lunch. We had about an hour to chill, settle-in, explore, whatever it is before the boat would take us there. And were off...



Loads of fishes there. And colourful ones too. La-di-da for about an hour there and that was our first day. The boat-driver dude gave us fish to feed the fishes. Weird......




The second day was pretty much the same as the first. We snorkelled around the island. Haha. We went one round the island which would take only about 10 minutes most to complete. We were taken different spots to snorkel - supposedly the hotspots where fishes are at...

This is on the other side of the island. I really like the water colours here. It's just a matter of whether there are corals or not. The light blue part is only covered in sand. cool-ness...

The Fight for the Mr. Buff Title!!!!

In this corner, we have Dvooodooman...Husband to the Energizerette(in the background) and well, is unfortunately apart of the family because of that...Hahaha

Aaaannnndddddd On this corner....

He's pretty shy suddenly, so we shall just have to settle with his abs-to-be...SlayerTalonnnnn

The Reigning Champion.............. *the crowd grows quiet*

Needless to say...Mr. Buff

The fight begins...Mr. Buff seems to be giving the rookies a fighting chance. He's only allowing them to fight for the title just with his head??!!!! Amazziinngggggg....And, the rookies are out of sight. It is a wonder how he scared them. *Psst! Take a closer look at his "penis"?? and his boobs??* And you thought this world wasn't strange enough as it is...Tsk Tsk..

Famous qoutes of the holiday:

SlayerTalon: "Now, my frown has turned up-side down" - He's pretty sloshed when he says this
Dvoodooman: "PUNDEK!!!"

Okayyy....We all know my family are alcoholics - maybe not all, but some...So here's to the vodka citron which we finished and the beer and the stout and to mr. jim beam. Hehe...

Kids...Do not try this at home....

This is what happens... Hahaha..Who am I kidding? We get sloshed at home half the time.

"Ohmygowd! Mr. Buff, you need deodorant!"

It was nice while it lasted. But I'm pretty happy being back here in the concrete jungle as well.

Selamat Tinggal Pulau Lang Tengah!
