Super-licious strobery in West Java!

My first trip to Bandung was SUPERRRRRRRRBB!!!

• The nicest strawberry juice I tasted (so far) is found in Bandung, ID! I had blended strawberry with milk and it was like..super-duper awesome I tell you!!!
• Didn’t manage to take lots of photos – was walking from one factory outlets to another (lots and lots of them), distros, malls, streets etc and carrying my D60 is kinda heavy, so I left it in the hotel room. Brought along the compact Lumix but was too busy deciding on what to buy and cared less about photo snapping. lol.
• The weather in Bandung is quite cold, at times it felt like the whole city was air-conditioned!
• A lot of poor people begging for money along the streets (street beggars)- as young as 2 years old to maybe 60. Very kesian. It made me realized that people (like me) should be grateful with what they have now..at least we can afford to wear nice clothes, wear shoes and own a car. I saw kids who walk up and down the same street from am to pm. Walking from one car to another begging for $.
• Terasa diriku umpama Jutawan!! Carried cash amounting to 5 Million in our shorts!!! (in Rupiahs of course). lol.
• (besok sambung cerita. sleepy already)

Suckkk-errr!

I’m a sucker for:

• Great conversations – Having teh ping with a wonderful someone + bubbling about random topics that makes you laugh (up the point where people think you’re crying), can make me smile all day long. Actually no..it would made me smile for days and days and days.
  
• Cute spiky hairs ~ I still have the utmost adoration for the ‘clean cut’ or ‘boy bands” look. I can stare at their hair for like hours. I just need them to sit quietly and be cute.
• Rock loud musics ~ Couldn’t resist rock musics that makes you jump.
• Dark Bitter Chocolates ~ I’m no chocoholic but dark bitter ones makes my life seems .. sweeter.

I had Ikan Keli and Tofu at a Kelantanese Restaurant for lunch. (Do I need to mention that Ikan Keli (digoreng dengan sambal okayy) is probably one of my most sought-after food next to Ikan Patin masak Tempoyak?). Quite a heavy lunch as I also had Sup Tulang at the same time. Bulih tahan juga lahhh the food. (Basically I have nothing ‘commercial’ enough to share.. so I guess telling you the kind of FOOD I had today is ‘exciting’ enough. Woohoo).

Class started yesterday but our lectures will only start tommorow morning. These two days have got to be the most sleepiest days for mua. We were supposed to complete our statistic assignment as the last day of submission is today. I completed mine on Saturday so basically I had nothing to do in class besides helping the rest with their graphs/charts (Ceh. Kunun sy siap awal lah nih), reading the papers, rummaged through my bag in search for receipts of meals I had (claim purposes), and cam-whored. and owh.. I also ‘unconciously’ fell asleep (we were in an air-conditioned room, cushioned chairs and a big table in front). It was all too tempting! The other girls had nothing to do as well so I guess the ‘wisest’ thing to do was taking photos of people..sleeping…Main target for the day: Eleanor. Demmit. I’ll have my revenge! (Note: I still feel bad for sleeping in class. It is SOOOO not ME! I’ve ALWAYSSSS have been the KUAI² girl… “Self praise is still the best praise”).

I was at the usual mamak just now with vbf and was so fcukin disturbed by the attitude of some people who was also there to ‘melepak’. Reason being: the way they talk to the helpers who took their orders was so damn rude. I am so sure that the helper was not a local so he was having trouble in taking down their orders to which this guy started to raise his tone of voice (it more or less sounded like he was shouting!). Kesiannnn bah the helper! Malu baitu!  We were sitting beside this ass and I felt like shouting back to him “ui buduh kah kau..no matter how you scream your lungs out pun dia susah paham bah buduhhhh! BUUUUDUHHHHHHHHHHH!” (terus keluar slang Sabah kaw kaw nih.wtf lah.). Have respect for people lah suckerrrr! It won’t kill you to talk nicely.

I’m going off to bed. A random photo below taken in a tunnel while on our way to KLCC. Nothing much. It’s just something I loikey like.

Wife’s Diary vs Husband’s Diary.

Got this from my boss. Thought of sharing as I find truth in this. Really.

Ladies: A gentle reminder to not let your ‘imagination’ cause trouble.

Guys: A bit more sensitive lehhh.

WIFE’s DIARY

Sunday night – I thought he was acting weird.  We had made plans to
meet at a cafe to have some coffee.  I was shopping with my friends
all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit
late, but he made no comment.

Conversation wasn’t flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet
so we could talk, he agreed but his mind was far away.  I asked him
what was wrong – he said, ‘Nothing.’  I asked him if it was my fault
that he was upset.  He said it had nothing to do with me and not to
worry.

On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and
kept driving. I can’t explain his behavior; I don’t know why he
didn’t say, ‘I love u, too.’

When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing
to do with me anymore.  He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed
distant and absent.

Finally I decided to go to bed.  About 10 minutes later he came to
bed. I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to
confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep.  I started
crying and cried until I too fell asleep.  I don’t know what to do.
I’m almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.

My life is a disaster.

HUSBAND’s DIARY

Today Liverpool lost!

Adui bah.

♥ Photo courtesy of CGS ♥

It’s been nearly two months since I left KK (and it’s been that long that I have not been updating ALF), and boy, I miss home so much. ♥ I miss mumi, dadi and andy, hims, hers, the 8-5 workmates, the futsal team, my commando-like dogs at home; which I didn’t actually cared for that much back home, my mustard-like room, my viva-la-vida, and everything, everything back home  (macam mau nangis sudah saya typing this). I’m actually busy scouring photos I managed to save in my external HDD in search of photos of family and friends. I miss home like, so much (a.k.a homesick).

A lot happened since the day I left home – for all the right and wrong reasons. With my lack of abilities to make ‘wise’ decisions combine with my greatest capability (which is: being completely ignorant), I hurt others..both intentionally and unintentionally. I view this ‘trip’ as some sort of ’self-therapy’ (sounds so minta puji nihh. lol.) …always wanted a time where I could actually not think about work, taking breaks from excessive late-night party-ings (instead of the 4 times a week session, I definitely reduced the number to 1…in every one or two weeks y’all; pure alco-intake only, not inclusive of the jogets. lol.  impressive *clapping both hands and feets*), and giving a major thought on what I’m gonna do when I come back home. Being ignorant is not an option anymore.. I guess.

I have a lot to ramble about but with such little time, I won’t be able to do much for now…but photos would help I know. So here you go peeps (all in random order).

1.THE HEALTH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT CLASS OF 2009.

(ini time punch card mau balik. Saat paling best woh!)

These are my classmates in Nilai. The first week of getting back into class (or the whole studying environment) was so damn difficult. Not as in having a difficult time understanding the lectures but due to the fact that I couldn’t seem to go through the 8 -5pm classes without falling asleep. Tried so hard to keep my eyes open but will actually ‘curi curi tidur’ for say 5 minutes only. (erkk..okay2 obviously I’m lying. I could ‘accidentally’ fall asleep for more than a mere 5mins). I do feel bad okayyy but things started to get better on the 2nd week of class (instead of falling asleep for 15mins, I only slept for 10. Impressive huh!)

2. MALAYSIA PLAYED WELL! 18/07/09. Location: Stadium Bukit Jalil. (though they didn’t win against the Red Devils but but but…woohoooooooooooooo! Malaysia rocks!) *suddenly becoming very patriotic…lalala..doing the tip-toe dance with him*.

• My first time watching football in SBJ with a ticket costing 98 bucks. (Thanks!)
• Searched for a parking for almost an hour. Parked nearly 1km away…but it’s worth it!
• Supported our Malaysian team all throughout the game. Didn’t wore anything RED that day.
• Owen is hot. So was the weather (result: armpits very the basah.lol)
• Augie & Judy are superb.

3. Barbeque-ing in Bangsar.

Saya sukaaaaaaaaa! I didn’t actually know anybody at the BBQ except for ‘the brothers’ but was soon caught up in a series of laughter all throughout the evening – thanks to Dave and of course, The Brothers. The nicest thing was that big bro prepared a ’separated’ meal for mua (in a damn huge bowl okayyy!) due to the fact that I am heavily allergic to seafood and eggs; it would made it impossible for me to eat the awe-noods (awesome noodles) he’s cooking for the rest of the BBQ-ing peeps. Lil brother still thinks I’m a bit at the weird-side. Quoting him: “are you REAAAAAALLY allergic to eggs???” Seafood possibly yes, but eggs???. *Sigh”. My Answer: YESSSSS!

4. Hennesy Artistry 2009

So I went to one of the largest Party in Malaysia (my choice of words mcm so grande kan. blek.). Thanks to lil brother! Tagged along Ms. Febria who actually had a hard time deciding whether she should go to Artistry or not. (need to update later . need to go and get some food!)

I am so.

…Happy - Nevershoutnever

You make me happy whether you know it or not
We should be happy that’s what I said from the start
I am so happy knowing you are the one
That I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
Your all of my days

Your lookin so cool your lookin so fly
I can’t deny that when I’m staring
You down right dead in the eye
I wanna try to be the person you want
The person you need
It’s hard to conceive
That somebody like you could be with
Someone like me

I’m happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other si-ide
The more I think the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and justa reminisce
Uhh ooo ooo

Your lookin so fresh
It’s catching my eye
Why oh why did I not see this before
The girl (/boy) I adore was right in front of me
And now I’ll take a step back and look in your eye
And ask why it took so long to see
Were meant to be

I’m happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other si-ide
The more I think the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and justa reminisce

On the good, the bad, the ugly
The smiles, the laughs, the funny,
Or all the things we put each other through
It’s for you for you for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

You make me happy whether you know it or not
We should be happy that’s what I said from the start
I am so happy knowing you are the one
That I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
Your all of my days

I’m happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other si-ide
The more I think the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and justa reminisce

P/s: ALF abandoned for nearly two months. Urgh.

A combo of posts.

Gosh. Been disconnected for two weeks..haven’t had the chance to update ALF. I was too occupied with work and didn’t had the time to post anything. But but but, I did drafted my posts using my cell and only now am I able to transfer them to ALF.. just a short update for certain days as I couldn’t really recall on other happenings.

~ Slowness ~ March 26^th

Mua just reached home from badminton. My wrist hurts and part of my fingers hurt – probably I was not holding the racket the right way ~ I’m such an amateur but still, I had fun. As usual, I seem to lose my energy only after a mere 20 minutes of running back and forth, left to right. I can feel sweat running down my back and neck. It looked like somebody threw a bucket of water at me as I was sweating like crazy. To add, I have a very bad bruise on my left leg which contributed a lot to my slow performance (a lot slower from my usual slowness) since every single move I made was quite painful (sounds like I’m just giving excuses eh? lol. But really bahhh…).

~ Troublesome~ March 30^th

“Nine in the afternoon” ~ playing the song for a number of times while spending my lunch hour surfing the net and eating in front of the PC. My neck hurts for some reasons; possibly due to my sleeping position. I decided to update ALF while in the office since I couldn’t get online at home. (Honest explanation: my Internet connection was cut off. Hehe). Andy was supposed to go pay the monthly bill but guess he was too caught up at work. I could actually go and settle the bill but I’m way off budget…so I’ll just wait for bro to go. So there’s this thing call ‘online payment’…but sadly, both my bro & I didn’t activate our online accounts. Perhaps, we’re still being very old-skool.  We find excitement in queing at counters, sitting down for an hour  and discovering that the deposit machine suddenly turned offline after half an hour queing up. Boy, was that fun! (read: “siallll punya mesinnnnnn!” LOL)I actually had one before but I key-ed in the wrong password and was blocked ever since. Didn’t bother to unblock the thing…and look how troublesome it is for me now. So triple boo for me. Boo boo and boo.

Happy Happy Happy ~ 3rd April

Countdown to Cornelia’s birthday (her birthday falls on the 4th of April but since she won’t be available on the 4th, we decided to have the countdown)…and so the birthday girl came a bit late but since it’s your birthday, you’re then forgiven…bombarded with never-ending birthday wishes and gave her the tightest hug ever. Happy 24th Birthday Corn!

~ Alive & Kicking ~ 4^th April

(Morning – Afternoon) Saya berjalan jalan berpimpin tangan di 1Borneo bersama kekasihku. Yay. How ’skema’ does that sound? It sends shivers all over my body when I say it, but it was all good. I like the fact that some sentences conveyed in Malay sounds far more expressive than English itself. Seriously bah! Anyway, we went to have a look at the IBorneo IT Fair and we both fell in love with HP Compaq’s TX series and hey, we didn’t even cared to look for other stuffs. lol. Apaini!

(Evening) I went for Futsal practice with my colleagues …or should I refer them as my ‘team mates’, right after dinner  (started playing from 7.30 – 8.30pm). One of my colleagues managed to set up a team and included me in for the upcoming Futsal competition organized by our Hospital’s sports club. I worked out the proposal with our President where all rules and regulations are set up and was brought into the AGM for further discussion. Each team however will only consist of one male player. Reason being: Out of a 115 staffs, only 12% of them are males (I even gave you the exact percentage. Funny.). I’m in a female dominated workplace I must say.

The practice was fun but very, very tiring for me. I envied those who can actually play for one whole hour since I raised the white flag just after 30 minutes in the game and ends up sitting down beside the goal post (I call this act ‘restoration of energy’), while cheering the rest (clapping and boo-ing included.)

Suka nya Hati ku ini ~ Lalala.

Date: 1st February 2009, Sunday (It’s February already.. January passed by so fast…)

Objective: Invited by Girl to a small BBQ gathering with the SHELL family.

Venue: Tanjung Lipas.. eh silap.. Tanjung Lipat, Likas. (Try saying “Tanjung Lipat Likas” laju2..Sounds like Tanjung Lipas..kan kan?? Maybe I’m just exxagerating..lol). FYI, It was my first time there since they opened the place to the public. I had some negative impression towards the place before coming there personally..i.e. ugly fugly, a lot of illegal immigrants & dirrrty. Honestly… I admit that.. I was wrong.. it was not that bad after all. It was a lil’ dirty on some part of the beach but maybe those rubbish drifted all the way from Pulau Gaya. The public toilets were well-maintained… supposedly to remain so as they are charging RM30 cents for each entry (same charges as the washrooms you go in at 1Borneo..besides the RM1 VIP toilets of course.Free for Platinums.)

No.of Peeps : Around 20 I guess ~ Including the kids. Wasn’t really counting. The only people I know was Girl & her boyfie Mark Dillon Garcia & Jeremy C. The rest were SHELL staffs who either came with their family, girlfriends or friends. Everyone was friendly and it gave you the feeling of being part of the ‘family’ too and not out of place. Hahaha. So..Hopefully someday they’ll recruit me into SHELL! (angan-angan nih)

Other happenings:

• The BBQ was more like a big ‘pembakaran terbuka‘ as the fire were going out of control! lol.
  
• I had few verbal-arguments with Harry (one of the SHELL staff) on how we should light up the fire, how to barbeque correctly etc (saya eksyen jah kunun2 tau padahal ndak mau kalah jah tu.lmao).. But both ended laughing like krazi.
  
• Calling Girl’s boyfriend ‘dear’ made her angry! Sikit dia mau tabak sy guna pisau. Tiba tiba dia sakit jiwa. Luckily I know some Kungfu-ing. Wachaaa! My advice: If you still want to live a bit longer, jangan cuba-cuba panggil boifren orang “dear”, especially boifren si Veralyn Marcie. It’s like digging your own grave.
  
• Chicken Wings & Sausages which looked like they were imported from Nigeria / Zimbabwe (no offence to both countries though).
  
• It was raining cats and dogs for a lil’ while so everyone stayed under shelter. I saw Girl’s thick Chinese Horoscopes in her bag, took it out (with permission) and started to flip through the pages trying to find The Ox! Jeremy rampas the book and started to cari Pork… Ok basically we now know what’s his year.
  
• Mark smiled a lot.  ‘dearrrr’… ehh..oopss.. Sorry! (immediately berlari menyelamatkan diri)
• I had FUN. I laughed and talked a lot (which both are obviously my greatest-passion in life). Hehe. Thanks Girl for the invite!

(Mua, Girl & her BF ~ Mark)

(Ini Tauke Ayam & Sosej PanggangYang Kureng Berjaya .LOL.)

(The ermm.. err.. Ayams yang hangus terbakars.)

P/S: Another BBQ coming up next week?

Date: 31^st January 2009, Saturday. (The last day of January 2009)

Right after a boring day at work, a few of us went straight to Iris’s house for lunch at Taman Permata. I was already feeling hungry while on my way to her house… We then had a superb lunch and I ate like a pig (still had my manners tho)! The great thing was when Iris took out bottles of Heineken right after we finished. Lol. She magically knew I need beers (just for the record, I ended finishing two small bottles) to compliment the terrific lunch. Having beers in a hot Saturday afternoon screams.. “Ada Kickk!!”. Haha. Then she slowly took out few glasses filled with sweet flavored jellies (couldn’t remember whether it was mango or pineapple, grape or raspberry?) and 3 containers of ice-cream! I had my purple coloured jelly mixed with Paddle-Pop ice cream and poured some fruit cocktails on top. Ta-daaa! It was fab-fab-fabulousity!!

P/s: Iris’s last day at work was on the 30th. We actually bought her a diamond & pearl necklace as her farewell gift.

I’m currently humming to..

i <3 this son.. the first two lines also I find it shiok oredy hahahaha.

T-Shirt – By Shontelle

Hey, ohh, let me tell you no.
Oh baby.
Trying to decide, trying to decide if I, really wanna go out tonight.
I never use to go out without you, I’m not sure I remember how to. I’m gonna be late gonna be late but, all my girls gonna have to wait cause, I don’t know if I like my outfit.
I tried everything in my closet.

Nothing feels right when I’m not with you, sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choos.
Taking them off cause I feel a fool, trying to dress up when I’m missing you.
Ima step out of this lingerie, curl up in a ball with something Hanes.
In that I lay, with nothing but your t-shirt on.
Oh, with nothing but your t-shirt on.

Hey, gotta be strong gotta be strong but I’m, really hurting now that you’re gone.
I thought maybe I’d do some shopping, but I didn’t get past the door and, now I don’t know now I don’t know if I’m, ever really gonna let you go and I, couldnt even leave my apartment.
I’m stripped down torn up about it.

Do you have a Ratio of 0.7? Then you’re da’ bomb!

Switched on the TV, tuned to RTM1.. and this caught my attention – according to scientific studies, men are way attracted to girls with hip ratio of 0.7.. So how do we calculate that?  Measure your waist , measure your hip. Then waist figure divide by hip figure. You do the math. Then you will get your ratio.

Time = going 180km/ph? or 20km/ph?

I was having my usual outing with a friend in town when he suddenly looked at my watch and said “wui, betulkah jam ko tu Len?”. My watch is always 15minutes to 20 minutes faster then the actual time so some of my friends will have a ‘minor shock’ because they will either think that they’re late for something or time went by so fast. So this was when this friend said to me “you are not leaving in real time”. I was like “Huh??”. We started to argue (in a nice way of course) as he believes that people should live in ‘real time’ and not by fast forwarding their lives. According to him, what ‘eleanor’ is doing is making her life go 15 minutes ahead of her and missing what life has to offer. I was like ‘what the fart!”. You are so, so wrong.

You see.. I dont know whether others have experience a similar situation as I have – I know that my watch is 15 minutes faster for the last 2 years… but every single day,  I will still tend to forget that I have wind up my watch. The good thing is that it keeps me far more punctual than before.

Lets say, work starts at 8am, looking at my watch: 7.45am.. I should be making my way to office already (will take around 10 minutes to reach Damai). So I should be reaching Damai at 7.55am. Actual time “real time”: 7.40am. I’m not punctual, but I’m way, way early. Not aiming for “Best Employee of the Year Award” but just a simple satisfaction of good time management. *putting two fingers down my throat”..hehe.. I have a few friends where their watch is like half an hour faster. So my 15mins is basically nothing compared to these peeps. A few steps forward and blessed with the time to pause for a moment, think back and reflect. Yeehaa.

Couldn’t remember for sure what other arguments we had, but he end up paying for my drink that night. Haha. Never question my ‘15 minutes’ mate.

Together for 10 years and splitted after 10 days of marriage?

I came across this old article about a Malaysian actor / singer who suffered a marriage breakdown only after being married for 10 days, and for the record they were seeing each other for 10 years. There were all sort of stories written on the internet; the guy was gay, the girl was a club-goer, guy wants girl only because of her family wealth, girl was scared of guy who keeps blackmailing her… and the story goes on.

I did ask my boyfriend some time ago what happened to them? What’s the real story?? .. hahaha. Kepoh bah me. Since this actor/singer is his friend, maybe he’ll get the juicy stories for me? But he would only answer me ‘hmm.. dunno ohh”.. maybe he doesn’t care and not as busybody as me. The first time he told me that this actor was a friend during his school days, I was like ‘oo.. ya kah?”.. honestly, I thought he was kidding. I then only believe him that they were really friends when this actor was the one who happily approached him to say ‘Hi’ while we were buying kuih2 at the Bazaar Ramadhan near his house..I was in amazement. Haha. He’s no Weezer or Justin Timberlake, but his status as a popular actor did gave some sort of ‘whoaa’ to the whole situation. To cut the story short, it was the first time I saw this actor and his wife – maybe a year before they got married. I was still in my ’shocked’ moment and soon after they finished talking and the actor walked away, I was like “What the F***? You really know him is it???”.. Then my boyfriend was like “laa..now only you trust me??”..he started laughing at my sillyness. As for him, it was nothing I guess. Hahaha ..So we continued to do our food shopping but I was still like ‘wtf’ all the way back.

So back to my main topic. Some people say its ‘jodoh’ or ‘destiny’. If you are meant t be that person, you will be together no matter whatever the odds are. But if it is not your destiny to live with one another, then I guess nothing can change it.. the saying follows “Kalau ada jodoh tak ke mana”. But I do believe that the effort we take to be with that someone we love really matters. I’m actually a bit confused in the earlier mentioned saying “kalau ada jodoh tak ke mana’.. if we don’t actually work hard and put some effort in attracting and catch the heart of someone we fancy, I really don’t think anything will happen. Sitting down and doing nothing will not help. “Destiny’ will only pass us by right?

tbc.

signs he stopped loving you.

I googled the exact phrase trying to find clues or signs that me and my boyfriend is finish. I stupidly lowered my standards today by texting him asking him how he’s doing. And the most shocking part was that he answered me with “i’m a bit busy”. I was like going to explode. Totally pissed off! Then I cried. I don’t even know if the crying was because I was so damn sad or was so damn angry! Not angry at him.. angry at my stupid self for trying to make things better, which I should have just ignore. I have all this signs that he doesn;t love me anymore, but I googled for answers trying to deny the fact that I should just MOVE ON. He clearly showed this signs:

He doesnt text me as often as he does (8 days went by without any single sms or calls). He keeps telling me he’s busy (and I was like, what the fuck – so you’re too busy until you don’t even have 30 seconds to text or call before going off to bed?). He changed his email password (doesn’t that tell you anything Eleanor???).

Then a small voice from the back of my head keep telling me “He’s really busy, he has an event going on”. “He did say he loved you but you were the one who didn’t text him back”.

Owh…FUCK HIM. He will regret this.
