the cuties...

the surprise party went well. well, not at first though. on friday, i reached puduraya at about 7pm and found out at the counter that my bus venue was changed to bukit jalil. and when i told the guy that the lady who sold me the ticket said to wait in puduraya, he said "kalau u nak complain, pergi le complain". i didn't want to make a big scene so i left and took the shuttle bus to bukit jalil. reached there at about 7.45pm and waited there till about 8.30pm. and the bus driver said whether its 6.30 or 7.30 or 8.30 bus, all would have to go up that particular bus. so i quickly went up just to make sure i get a seat. while all the tension mounts up on me, a malay guy was even flirting with me. i didn't have the mood to scold him so i just ignored him. reached melaka about 10.45pm. the place was packed with cars near sentral. put up at andrea's place. the next morning, andrea brought me to eat roti canai for breakfast. then we went italy bakery in melaka raya to order the cake. andrea gave me the idea that i buy 2 cakes, one for mum and one for dad. so we ordered 2 cakes. told them that we'll come take it at 5pm. then we went to carrefour at dataran to buy drinks, serviets, forks and spoons. then we went to eat my favourite wan tan mee near the place where i used to work. it was lovely. even the wan tan mee aunty still remembers me. then met up with andrea's juniors and raymond. hung out till 6pm then me, raymond and andrea went back to her house. upon reaching there, we remembered that we have not taken the cakes! yikes! so raymond being the kind soul went to take them. about 7pm, aunty pat told me that they have already brought my parents to their house. so we quickly went to my house and prepared. and then at about 7.30pm, aunty pat asked me whether are we ready cos my parents were getting a little restless and they are out of idea in stalling them. so i told her we need just a little more time and asked her to fake having a stomach ache and wants to use the toilet for a while. luckily raymond came just on time. so i told aunty pat to come now. i was so nervous i was sweating like mad. when they arrived, they were really surprised. my mum thought something happened to our house as it was all open and with so many people. the look on their face was priceless. they were so happy and smiling all the way. i was happy to see them so happy. we had a great time. funny thing was aunty pat didn't tell them what was the occassion so they thought she was bringing them out for her anniversarry or birthday. they even bought a cake for aunty pat! almost everyone i invited from aikido came and also aunty melissa and aunty lynn. all of us had a great time. thanks so much to raymond, andrea and everyone who attended but most of all, big big thanks to aunty pat, uncle mike and june for their A-plus effort.

i tumpang sara to come back to damansara yesterday. felt so sad to leave my parents again. gonna miss them so much. but i'll be back for deepavali on the last week of october so am looking forward to going back to be with them again.

all in all, great weekend. the only one missing is adrian as he's very busy with work.. hope the four of us can get together again.

yay...yay...yay...

i'll be going back to good ol' melaka today. am soooo excited and can't really sleep last night. yesterday after work, sent tigger to his aunt's place as he'll be staying there. the curve is just so very near to his aunt's place so thats why he'll be staying there. today will be his first day at work so fingers crossed and good luck.

yesterday, i called kim of aikido to comfirm with her the food and persons coming. and she told me that richard of aikido told joseph about the party and joseph called chua and asked why he wasn't invited. so chua just ask him to come. eeyer...tak tau malu people..go and invite himself. this is my party so i can invite whoever the hell i want. so i told kim it's ok he can come. and since joseph is coming, i terpaksa invite gopal, his bestie la. but i strictly told gopal that i did not invite iqbal so don't go telling him that there is a party at my house. so he said ok. and i terpaksa tell him that i couldn't inform him earlier as i don't have his number and it sounded like he smirked at me on the phone. dunno la whether really or its just my imagination. hehe..anyway, wth...

i hope tomorrow will be a good and fun day. can't believe it's really happening...tata...

yay...will be in melaka tomorrow..

will be going back to melaka tomorrow. am so very overly excited. andrea called last night to confirm that i'll be putting up at her place. heard that sara might come for the party too...double yay... tried calling rileen's mum but no one answered so i gave up.

these few days have been hectic. turned out that the former employee didn't do her work properly. so many queries from roc for the past few years have not been answered. bitch left the whole bunch stacked under the table. now i have to do all the things that she didn't do. and ms boss didn't even blame her. still can talk to her nicely on the phone whenever she calls and care about her. and here i am, cleaning up her damn ass!!! before she left, she told me so many bad stuff about boss and her husband and said she's fed up with them and that's why she left. but after she left, she still calls the office to chat with boss. i mean, wtf...stupid bitch...

good news is tigger got a job in sakae sushi restaurant in the curve. so he'll be staying in his aunt's place in kota damansara. so more reasons for me to go there during the weekends. hehehe...he'll be starting tomorrow.

random pics

when i first moved to pj, tigger, his mum and sis brought me out. so nice of them.

ah hui in aikido. something very disturbing behind her.

spaghetti which i made last night. actually the sauce was made by mummy. i made the spaghetti.

my leftover vege chicken curry and fried egg.

now you see it...

now you dont...hehe..


another 3 days till my going back to melaka. cant wait. just too excited. kim of aikido called me yesterday and said that they've planned what food each of them will bring. wong sms-ed me the other day saying that he'll come. my aikido people are the best. they're a very supportive bunch of people and they like to have fun and not gossip unlike "some" groups. anyway hope everything goes on well.

4 days and 5 days...(today is daddy's birthday)

it had been a great weekend. went to tigger's place on saturday to bring his sister to cheras as she wanted to bring back some books from her hostel. after that, we went to the curve and ikea. had our lunch in little penang cafe and i ordered laksa while tigger and shangkari ordered nasi lemak. my laksa was fantastic...although not as fantastic as my dad's but it was worth it. the pulut hitam was good too. the total bill was less than rm50 for 3 person... compared to chilli's which was rm70+ for 2 person. i then bought some books from borders...to expand my agatha christie collection...overall, we had fun on that day...then later that night, tigger's mum cooked prawn curry which were so good...

another 4 more days till i go back to melaka and 5 days before the party. time passes so fast and i just can't wait for this week. don't really know what's gonna happen on that day...fingers crossed that everything will go on well...

missing mummy, daddy and adrian...

mrs bean will be going back to her hometown today...which means she wont be back at all after this...except to take back her other stuff like her table, "cupboard"...which means i'm free at last!...i'm not sure whether the new girl wants to move into my room or not...i dont mind actually cos she's ok...

been doing some research on migrating to australia. found out that i actually have the required points to go there! so my next step is to get in contact with either my uncle who lives there or probably find an agent.

another 1 more week to go before i step foot on my beloved melaka and 8 days before the party. can't wait. this weekend, might cook some food and also co-ordinate my room since mrs bean is no longer here. then might go to tesco to buy some stuff and just relax...see first la...

8 days to go bebeh...

i just can't wait for the day to come...in exactly 8 days, i'll be going to melaka...my parents not knowing that i'm coming back...and the surprise partyy...oh..all of these just makes me sooo excited...will be calling rileen's mum next week...and will be staying over at andrea's place next friday...

on a lighter note...mrs bean will be going back to her hometown tomorrow..yipeee...although i've said that i was beginning to like her, but after that day she went back to her normal self...singing out loud and being quiet like a freak...so yipee that she's not going to be here anymore...

work has been a bit boring...but miss boss is nice...i know she yearns for a baby but i've heard that it's not easy for her to get one as she had some health problem...pity her...i hope she'll get what she wish for...soon...

my first real cooking...

presenting...my first ever vegetarian chicken curry...

it was my first ever attempt at cooking the vegetarian chicken curry and i must say it tasted quite nice..at least eat-able (i.e. edible) la...was so happy about it...

mrs bean and me chatted on saturday and this time she spoke a lot to me...she said she'll be moving out next month as she is going to taiwan to further her studies. which means i get to continue staying at the balcony room...yay...she talked about her family and her studies and her dreams and her daily life as a student...and she even asked about me...just when i'm beginning to like her, she decides to move out....haiii...we chatted from 2.30 to about 6pm...quite a long chat...and i realised after chatting with me, she had become a bit more considerate and thoughtful...at least i think la...she blow dry her hair outside when i'm sleeping..not like previously where she does everything when i'm asleep...can't belive i'm saying this...sad to see her leaving...

i called aunty pat on saturday and she said that mummy had confirmed that she and daddy will be "going out" with aunty pat. she said the plan is to bring them to her house and then when we're all ready, i'll give her a call and she'll pretend that they'll have to pick "someone" up at ozana and then voila...aunty pat is just so amazing..can think of this idea for me...

also called aunty lynn and she said she'll be able to make it...so now everything's settled on the part of the guests...the only thing left now is the cake and drinks. i've bought the bus tickets and luckily it was not sold out...so yay to everything being according to plan...

this wednesday is a public holiday for selangor so yay again..he he...

yay...

i cooked noodle soup last night. my mummy's version. and it tasted almost like hers but i'm excited cos I cooked my dinner by MYSELF, instead of just heating food that mummy gave me...i'm so proud of myself...he he he...

on a very happy note, aunty pat called me last night and told me that she had already ask my mummy out on her birthday. but mummy said she'll confirm with her today. i wonder, why does she need to think about it? is it because she might have other plans? i just hope she'll say yes. *fingers crossed* anyway, aunty pat has been very supportive and VERY helpful regarding this surprise party. i will buy her a baskin robbins ice cream since she once said that she wants me to buy her one...she truly is my mum's best friend. she's been my mum's friend for over 30 years and that kind of friendship is very difficult to find these days. after speaking to her on the phone, i was so excited i couldn't sleep. but it was made even worst when mrs bean still hasn't close the balcony door at 11 something and i had mosquito bits all over my body *sial* nowadays, i don't even bother whether she's in the room or not. i just do my own stuff and pretend that she's not there.

eh, lari topic pula...my next target is to call aunty lynn and aunty melissa. hope they can make it...

because of my obsession with the notebook *the book and the movie*, i've grown to love the soundtrack of the movie. i need to get hold of the dvd as i've only seen snipets of the movie on youtube. when i hear the soundtrack, it reminds me of tigger and my family. i miss all of them so much. i've been alone for 2 months now (except for the few times where i meet tigger) and i just miss melaka so much. right now, i feel like i'm still not achieving anything to make me happy. i know this job is only temporary. i've decided that i'll work here for a year and then try again to see whether this time i can go to australia. i want to have something to do with books. i know my destiny is with books, not chartered secretary or law although studying those 2 courses did help me to re-discover my love for books. i've love reading ever since i was a child and i couldn't stop even when i'm grown up. so i know thats my destiny. the only thing is i don't know how to get into this industry...

helppp...

i'm obsessed with the notebook! i can't believe that after i've finished reading it few days ago, i'm still thinking and obsessing about it. help me...

aarghhh...my landlord ffk-ed us...again! told me and sin ying that he'll come fix the lights but didn't come. mrs bean said that he's always like this. always promising to fix something but either few months late or totally ignore everything. i guess people nowadays are like that. tell us nice things before we move in and after that...gone...

newbie talked to me a bit last night. said she start work at 7.30am and finish at about 8pm!!!she's just amazing. i couldn't do that if i were in her position. and she said she always have biscuits for dinner. i pity her. furthermore, her room mate, sin ying, sometimes sleeps at about 1-2am. even worse than mrs bean. but at least sin ying studies in her room and doesn't make any noise. unlike mrs bean.

can't wait for 26th to come when i go back to melaka. 16 days to go... will be buying bus ticket this saturday. tigger's in jb with his mum and bro so i don't have any plans with him :( i've to call aunty pat soon to ask her about the surprise plans. hope she remembers. i hope the aikido members will come.

speaking of aikido, i might go to the aikido centre near my place this friday to check them out. it's stated that the classes are on monday, wednesday and friday.

chilli's!!!

miss my home... (thats monk on the telly)

dear tigger in chilli's

me in chilli's

had a great weekend last week. went over to tigger's place and on saturday we went to chilli's in klcc. i ordered tequila-lime fish and tigger had chicken taco with rice and beans. the food was great but sadly can't say the same for the drinks. i ordered hot tea as i had cold and flu and guess what...it wasn't hot at all. not even warm...anyways, the food was worth it and MIGHT go there again. the reason why i said might was because when we arrived there, the waiter asked me whether i'm a muslim because i look like a malay. it seems they're not allowed to serve food to the muslims as it is the fasting month. i didn't want to argue much so i just said a simple no...just because i don't look like a typical chinese doesn't mean i'm automatically a malay...i just hate it when people instantly assume i'm a malay. especially during the puasa month...

i still can't move in to the other room..the landlord still hasn't come to fix the damn light. he said he would come yesterday but he didn't. i can't stand staying with mrs bean no more...she turn on the music loud even when she's studying. she taps her feet on the floor loudly. she sings out loud when i'm trying to sleep. sometimes i don't know whether she does it on purpose to irritate me. it's just so annoying. i don't know why she does what she does.

read the notebook over the weekend and i just love the storyline...it's so heart-wrenching and i cried several times while reading the book. before this, i've heard that this is a sad love story but i didn't know it would be this sad and touching...i'll definitely read it again and again...

i've been thinking, since i love reading so much, my next target is to open my own book store. no selling stationeries and stuff. just strictly books. either selling or renting. that would be nice...would do some research on it soon.

my anger...you bloody f*cker..

had this idiot-bastard-shitfaced client who called up and scolded me on the phone. screamed at me and didn't give me a chance to defend myself. and the worst thing was he slammed the phone while i was talking...that was the worst! no, worst still, it was not our fault. it was his own bloody fault but blamed it on us. ccbknnlc!!! curse u and ur stupid company JNIMC... even ur bloody ASS-istant is no bloody good. he's able to follow u around like a dog but the both of u can rot in hell.

dei parameswaran nachiappan! just because your name means lord shiva in tamil, but u're the exact opposite of a god...in fact u're not human at all...not even an animal..u're a devil aka setan!!! u don't deserve to live in this world.. u're better off living in a cage instead of those poor animals. pour hot water on u and see how it feels. thats exactly how i felt when u spoke rudely to me. on fine day, u'll get the appropriate balasan. u think u've ruined my day but u're wrong. i'm stronger now and know how to handle people like u. if u're in front of me now, i'll use my fist to do the talking...just because u're a man doesn't mean u can bully me...i'm much more stronger than u bloody old man... i have all ur personal details ok..so don't mess with me...

there...i'm done!

"err...i...have...to...ask...uncle...to...come...fix...the...light...first...

mrs bean came back yesterday and i asked her is it ok if we switch rooms. she said ok and in her mind it's already set that she wants the balcony room. so me being kind and generous just agreed la. can't really argue with this spoiled kid. anyway, i heard her pc got jammed cos of too much downloading...(he he he *laughing in silent*) personally i think i cursed the pc...he he.. anyway when i went to pay the rent to my landlord, he said that the single room is very very small. so there goes my dream of living alone. he will fix the lights in my room today and we will switch rooms this sunday cos apparently sin ying can't study in a dim-litted room. anyway, i'm just gonna let it be and not hold any grudge. i'm old enough to not start any arguments or fights with anyone.

i had mummy's asam fish last night for dinner...it was good...yum yum...will be staying over at tigger's place today and the weekends. another 3 weeks till my parents' surprise party...can't wait...

i cooked...for the first time here..

had a GREAT dinner last night. well, actually cos i cooked!!! i cooked rice and steamed the can tuna curry in the steamer. although it was simple but for me it was worth it. i feel happy after eating and was very joyful. tonight i'm eating rice with mummy's asam fish...yay!!! even more happiness and joy for me...

on a lousy note, i just knew it that mrs bean would want to remain in the balcony room if she were to move in with sin ying. this morning sin ying told me that she called mrs bean and she said she's ok with the moving in thingy but wants to remain in the balcony room. so i said ok, sadly. come to think of it, i think i don't mind la moving in with newbie. suffer now, comfort later. maybe she might be way better than mrs bean. fingers crossed...

boring post..

yesterday was not good. had flu and a little sore throat. didn't have much work yesterday. in short, everything was boring. this weekend, will bring tigger to klcc makan at chilli's and movie and also to buy my ipanema sandal by the supermodel gissele bundchen. then might go find out more on the aikido thing near my place. then might go buy some groceries. can't wait for the weekends to come. i need my peoples...

i'm back in hell...

had a wonderful weekend...truly wonderful...
fri, 29th aug- reached melaka at about 9pm. found out that my dad traded in his wira and bought a new savvy. then met up with aikido members in newton.

sat, 30th aug- met up with some friends. had satay celup and bought some stuff in tan kim hock for tigger and ms boss.

sun, 31st aug- was at my grandpa's shop but was not able to eat the laksa as i had sore throat. went to tesco with mum, patti and geetha. mum bought so much of things for me. i just feel so lucky to have her in my life. then went for aikido in the evening. managed to give the surprise party invitation card to some of them. mum cooked an amazing dinner. she even cooked some of her signature dishes and freez it so i can bring up to pj and can heat it and makan anytime i want. thank u mummy... watched made of honour with mum and dad till i fell asleep.

mon, 1st sept- followed mum to bkt serindit for jogging. met aunty pat there and told her of the party. she said she's able to help me. then at about 1.20pm, left melaka for cyberjaya to see adrian. his condo is so nice and luxurious. he gave me a bottle of green tea perfume from l'occitane. then he brought us to restaurant uno for dinner. me and dad had spaghetti, he and mum had pizza. had a wonderful time with them the whole day. then it was time for me to go back to hell. i cried after they left. i just miss them so much and i love the times we've spent together. i wouldn't trade it for anything at all.

new girl moved in to the other room. then bean2 called for a meeting and discussed about how are we suppose to pay for electricity since we're working people and do not have pc. then the other girl also suggested that i move in with newbie while mrs bean and sin ying can move in together. i don't mind moving in with newbie but i want my room as it has the balcony. the other room doesn't have balcony nor window. newbie said it's up to mrs bean and sin ying to decide as they've been there longer. she even told me that she's seen the single room and it's very small and can only fit a bed. now i'm worried. i think once my cheque is cleared, i'll go see the landlord, pay him the rent and ask to see the single room. i hope it's not as small as what newbie said.

headache...headache...from now on, i'm planning to just get out of the apartment during the weekends and go for holidays. i can't think if i'm in hell. i need to just stay away from the apartment during the weekends.
