Weekender

Firstly a birthday shoutout to my lovely niece Yanusha who turned 9!!!!

We had bbq at home last night and cut her cake as well, bbq was a blast tho' it took darn long for the chicken to cook! Damn hungry, man. I had a huge tomato to satisfy my hunder pangs first, you know to alas perut before the "main course went in..

Vicky fixed screwdrivers for those above 21. I fixed me & Joey whisky coke, which way yummier and stronger..muuaaahahahaha..

I'm eating the cake now, actually it quite yummy black rich chocolate cake with walnuts embedded inside.

Vicky took photos which I shall post up later.

My sis made fun of me & my "room", you wait you!

Coming down with flu I think..Niki is having cough, Vicky already completed his flu .. ai ya ya..

and ps, we had a bowling tourney yesterday, all of us paired up and were beaten flat by Vicky's mom & dad, malu wei!

I'm listening to music..

on kiis.fm lax

And killing time before I head home today after work,

so here I am blogging, it's raining outside and I'm thinking about the clothes I left out to dry before I left this morning,

I ate nasi lemak this morning for breakfast, my colleague prepared it, an omg it was heavenly, home-cooked with fragrant rice, ayam (chicken) rendang, sotong (squid) sambal and ikan bilis (anchovies) sambal with eggs and cucumber, can so delicious pengsan.com

What I Love

I love..

the smell of freshly cut grass,

the smell of a new baby,

the smell of the body shop,

the smell of a feshly shampoo-ed hair,

the smell of ck be,

the smell of paperbacks,

the smell of newly laundered clothes,

the smell of laksa

but the smell I love belongs to Vicky & Niki

Seat Upgrade

Niki's got a seat upgrade..

We didn't make her ride in her baby seat today,

we think she's ready for an upgrade, at least in sedan cars with seat belts at the back..

so here she is..i think she felt all grown up & was happily playing with my handbag (as in pretending to go to work?..who knows)

Got a FSC (family sports club) activity this weekend, and it's also nonu's birthday..hhmmm whaddaya get for a pre-teen? I'm thinking a cute handbag with cute motifs (like lulu guiness types) and matching hair accessories..what say u hon? we'll see.. will got shopping for it Sat after work.

I Got a Window

..alas I got my own window @ work

..I must say a room with a view is a nice something..

..this is my first "day" ..

..have the music on..

..it's Elton John's I Want Love is playing in e/ background

..time to dive into work..

Alor Star Now

I've been so super busy lately, that's why I haven't been posting regularly..

Coz I'm a blog addict, so if I have been laying off then that means I'm super duper busy @ work, which is drats!

Ah how I wish I was back in Alor Star again, being back in my kampung was super glorious..

did you know that roti canai there is only 60 cents, wan than mee is only RM1.80, unbelievable, yeah you better believe it.. that's Alor Star for you..

And being in the home I grew up brought back so much fond memories, it's typical kampung as in you wake up to the sound of chickens, etc..my dad & mom recently renovated and the place, so now there's q lot of space for them to do their thing..and they have even installed ana alarm system called Ang's Alarm, heeheehee I like the name, the reason for the alarm was several weeks ago our immediate neighbour's home was broken into by a couple of burglars, so my parents now are seriously paranoid, can't blame them really..and the police does their rounds in the neighbourhood too in their squad car.. I mean AS is still much more saver than KL can ever be, but shizz does happen too once in a while..

The best thing was Niki got to bond with her other set of grandparents, and my mom & dad really dotted on the cheeky tot.. so Niki was treated like a princess, tell me when is she not?

And Niki got to play with my parent's doggy too, my parents own a mini pincher named scooby, and u know what niki can immitate scooby's bark pretty well, she sounds like a pincher too.. and can call scooby by name..

it's nice bringing her back to my kampung..I hope to take her again soon, and vicky & i can indulge in our laksa lemak craving in wah tua guan, only RM3 and the tong sui ie. lo hon guo with gingko is only RM2 and is superb!!!!!!

And yeah if you remember blogging about Old Time Cafe, well it's actually Old Tune Cafe, a really nice place and the decor is really authentic, wonderful zen-like ambience on the way in, and the makan place is really comfy and truly nyonya chinese. Their specialty is duck, which we tried, which was heavenly you gotta taste it to really savour it.. yum, really succelent and the sauce omg!!!!!! Only RM14 for half a bird, and the best thing is the duck is prepared in-house, we found out when we took a tour of the 2nd floor and there's a patio where all the ducks were hung after being grilled (i think, that's the process). And the chop suey, yum! Truly yum! Only RM3 for a med bowl..can pengsan right the prices..

Ah how I miss the food, food here kinda suck!

Well I gotta go back to work now.. my boss in on the way back ..dang _ _

xoxox

Merdeka in AS was Fabulous

 

Some facts about Alor Star

..it's currently a city
..everything is within five minutes reach..

..to go the most happ mall is Pacific it's just 4 mins away..

..previously Alor Star is spelt as Alor Setar..

..food variety available here is glorious..

..best assam laksa is located at the said mall, at this restaurant called "wah tua guan"

..there's absolutely nothing to do here but we'll manage..

..weekends are fri & sat, here and sunday is a work day at most places..

..if you order hokkien mee here it's actually prawn mee and not the thick black saucy noodles that KL-lites like so much..

..the chinese here speaks malay with a kedah slang, and most non-malay speaks malay like a pro..talk to me in malay & i'll prove this point..

..air = water = ayak in alor star, if you say air they'll definitely know you're not local!

p.s.we'll be in AS

All of us being vicky, niki & moi and Aunty Daphne too, will be heading to AS for the Merdeka weekend. Asam Laksa & Otak-Otak here we come!!!

Yes, that's what we do..we eat..and eat..My mom told me that Old Time Cafe is longer a frou-frou type of establishment and has now downgraded the outfit to a kopitiam style glutton hound. All the beauty of eating al-fresco and kow kopi-peng & of course perhaps wonderfully yummy o-chien? Dunno, have to wait and see, and eat before I can give comments..

Yay, road trip... la dee da!

The pic above is the Alor Star telco tower, Vicky's always teasing me about it..but did you know it's the second tallest in Malaysia after the KL Tower and the 19th tallest one in the world, well did cha, did cha? Hey I'm proud of my kampung, y'know and Happy Merdeka everyone.

Gonna Go Bonkers

I'm gonna go bonkers from soooo much work, this is one of those days where I wish that I'm a tai-tai type, sipping tea, and talk shop with my gang of other tai-tais. Hai..wishful thinking.. I've got soooo much on my plate I really don't know where to begin.

On top of that I need to move into my new office!! Can go bonkers really..

How la .. If you see my desk right now that's how my brains are .. papers, magazines, faxes, agreements etc all over..can pengsan dot com..

HELP!!! Anyone willing to pay me to be a tai-tai..anybody?? Hon..how about u??

Sunday morning!

Saturday sucked so we made sure Sunday rocked!

We woke up about 8.30am, actually it was more like Niki woke us up at 8.30,

so all of us got ready in our chillex togs and headed to a roti canai breakfast at the nearby maks.

After a very satisfying morning chow we went to Bukit Raja Mall.

I haven't been there since before Niki came along, but I kinda liked the place

So much nicer than Midvalley & 1U which is usually so full of ppl and getting parking is usually huge pain!

Had a great time just walking around and shopping, then went to this deli place for lunch.

Niki had mash, Vicky had grilled chic and I had grilled sandwich, it was yummy!

Entered Niki in her first ever baby pic competition, that's the one where she's seated in the white high chair. And just about half an hour before I untied her hair and let it all hang! hehehehe .. So Niki's hair is all like mengerbang! cute lar.. all in good fun tho' ..

After that we headed home not 2 minutes into the journey homer our darling passed out from exhaustion!

Went home did nothing, watched The Break-Up and ate hokkien mee for dinner, so Sunday was totally Sunday! I thank God for His wonderful grace everyday, and for my family whom I love so much.

Saturday at the Golden Bull Gala Dinner

That's where I was Saturday, which is a total waste of a good Saturday evening, I wished I could have spent it with Vicky & Niki instead, I had to attend this gala dinner thingy at the PWTC. GOH was Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy which is the minister of transportation, he sure what headline grabbing coz earlier he was in the papers telling Airasia and MAS to buck up! The dinner was supposed to be a corporatey thing but the night's entertainment was more of a cabaret show! Which was totally unsuitable for the occassion.

By the time it finished it was nearly midnight and by the time I got home my baby was already sleeping soundly. I always tucked her in at night and I felt really rotten coz I didn't get to do it last Saturday. Mommy missed you so much! And Mommy & Daddy made up for it the next day!

It's a rainy Friday evening

waiting for Vicky to come pick me from the office right now..

it's raining outside, heard half of KL is flooded and the jam

is horrendous..

ah, so what's new ??!!??

My eye is feeling a bit itchy, hope it's not an infection..gosh!

I pray it's not an infection coz that'll ruin our plans!!!

I for the life of me do not understand why would a person still

go to work when they know full well they have conjunctivitis..

what is wrong with them, don't they know it's contagious!!

I met with someone like that this morning coz I needed to pick

something up! dang that world-class bozo!

Can't wait for Vicky & Niki to get here....can't wait for the weekend..

Just My Luck

Saw it over the weekend, coz I needed some bubblegum movie..

Ok-lar it's a Llo vehicle, Chris Pine is cute tho' but a bit different

from when he was in The Fantastic 4 hhhmmm...

Loved the outfits & shoes that Lindsay was wearing tho' & ah the jimmy choo's are so so

cool!

What Drives You..

..coz Niki drives us..

..ya she sure loves to drive..or pretend that she knows how to drive..

..she can know how to signal left and right, she knows how to use the wipers..

..operate the radio etc, I think I'll teach her how to drive once she's old enough..

or tall enough..

..one thing tho' that we need to be careful about is that she knows how to auto lock the car too..

..but then she knows how to undo the auto as well ..but careful we must..

..just imagine if she accidentally locks herself in !!!!! not funny..

..it's fun to let your kiddies play car but we still need to ensure proper supervision..

Walau..is such a multi-functional word

this is during my time Niki,

when you grow up maybe they'll coin another one that holds the same meaning..

in case you are wondering what "walau" is..I'll use here, in examples for you to get a feel..

Walau, I've got so much work to do!

Walau-eh, like dat also can ah!

Walau-eh, you car damn cun (cute)

Walau, how can you be like dat so unreasonable..

Multi-function, in a way only Malaysians can, eh!

Walau I've been working non stop since morning, it's one in the afternoon now lunchtime!! alas!

Time just flew by, walau cannot imagine.

Gonna go eat now and re-charge abit..

walau the weather dang hot and hazy!

Tokyo Drift

I finally had the time to watch Tokyo Drift last night,

it's surprising better than TFATF 2! I kinda dig it..

And yeah Skylines and V8s are cool..

Drifting tho' still kinda look a bit loopy to me..

Especially when there was this romantic scene

between Neela and Sean at the mountain side..

Kinda chessy..but's that's me..

Overall, it was a really uber-cool movie, nice tracks

Time-A-Wasting and Work-A-Piling

It's only Tuesday morning..and..

Yup, I'm officially drowning there's just soooo much to do at work that I have no time whatsoever to blog, I have tenders due left,right and middle, deadlines to meet, press-op to prepare, ISO to get ready for, etc! I'm gonna go bonkers! I have only two hands and my brain has decided to do a downtime!

I gotta scoot and go do work!

I miss my Niki & Vicky xoxo
