Sleep deprived~! 2007-05-24 22:36:00 Hey peepz!! It's me again.. I just need some tips here if you guys can help...I am sooooooo sleep deprived. I'm an 8 hour kinda gal.. and now.. I'm getting barely 4 hours of sleep. I'm sleepy, but I'm not relaxed.. I keep tossing and turning the whole night. Any tips??? I am in need of my sleep!Don't bother asking me to try sleeping pills.. after all, I am pregnant.. is it because of that?? When I was pregnant with my firstborn, I slept like a log through all 9 months!Well, I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me out! REALLY, i do! Anyways, have a nice weekend. I'm gonna go take a shower now.. *sigh* Read more:Sleep
And this is... American Idol.. 2007-05-24 11:16:00 Admittedly, Sparky is the better singer.. but I just couldn't stand her! What was it that Simon said in the first few rounds before the final 12??? Too sugary sweet?? Yeah.. that's it! PLUS, she looked so confident that she would win (have to blame Randy and Simon for that!) that I really COULDN'T stand it!!! Poor Blake. He saw it coming. She saw it coming too.. But I could bet you my pinky finger she wouldn't have that same look on her face had it been Melinda Doolittle singer there with her at the finals.. Whatever it is.. Melinda is still my Idol.. Unbelievable singer, down-to-earth.. and not a total smarty pants.. UNlike that certain 17-year-old who looks like she has something to say when the judges give her MILD criticism.. Thank God for the American
Idol theme song cue that shuts her up! I dowanna sound like a HATER u guys.. I still think that yeah, compared to Blake, Jordin was the obvious winner.. ALTHOUGH, I would have preferred to see her battle it out with Melinda in Read more:American Idol
Making a comeback.. 2007-05-24 06:19:00 FINALLY! And I really mean FINALLY! After all this time that my connection and router has been down.. I've finally gained access to the net! Well, there are definitely stories that need to be told and shared with the rest of the world.. but they're coming to me one by one in such a rush that I can't even begin to think which one I should start with.. Have any of you ever thought about something to say, and when you're about to say it, you remember something else connected to what you were ABOUT to say, and then you also wanna say THAT and THAT also reminds you of something ELSE.. AND.. you end up not saying anything.. it's overwhelming.. Really, it is.. Anyways, enough of my rambles and jambles.. I have definitely decided that this is my blogging home.. no more blogging in Friendster... although I will update it and just link it here.. I think opening my Friendster account is just too much of a hassle.. and too many fake pretenses.. Basically, I just wanted to say "Yeah, I'm back Read more:comeback
Hairy Lamb 2007-02-27 09:57:00 Actually, this post is a Part 2 of MY STORY.. but as I'll link this post, you readers will actually be able to read Part 1 there too. Why so many blogs, you ask? Well, I normally write in my Friendster blog, but lately, I'm still trying to decide whether I'm gonna keep my Friendster account. Besides, it's not wrong to test waters anyway, right? So, here I am, blogging about my mundane life and my complaints about my hairy lamb experience..
The Little Green Monster... 2007-01-29 02:00:00 So... yeah.. I'm jealous.. definitely jealous! Hahahahahahuhuhuhu*sobsob* Okayyyy.. Anyone with access to Syura's blog would get it.. Anyone that DIDN'T make it to the Boyz II Men concert in Genting would understand.. Yeah. She went. I didn't. She got a flower from Wanya. No flowers here. Nathan touched her hand. ME??? Let's just not go there. For a RM170 ticket.. that was DAYYMMMNNNN well worth it! (Read her blog and you'll know what I mean) Those who watched from afar, well, I'm not gonna say it wasn't worth it.. I'll take it anytime of the day.. but... (NO OFFENSE) you seriously claim to be huge Boyz II Men fans and still opt for the backseats?? Hmm... beats me! Anyhow, if i SURVIVED AND DEALT with not being able to go to the IL DIVO concert.. I'll get through this much easier.. But STILL! Syura got to see Boyz II Men. Rozie got to see Akon. (Well, i had 4 free tickets but didn't bother to go.. to each their own, right Roz??) Ryn got to see Rain (I'm not a fan, though) B Read more:Green

What women want.. 2007-01-25 10:41:00 hey.. i'm back again... pretty freaked out after watching the auditions.. SERIOUSLY PSYCHO! it was, (in Simon's words), excruciating, horrendous, rubbish.. etc! Not all, though.. just those "few".. for those who've watched it, i guess you guys could agree with me on this.. Anyhow, after that, i managed to catch the last 10 mins of Amazing Race Asia.. GO TEAMS MALAYSIA! But i still have to say the most interesting show i've watched tonight was "8tv's What Women Want".. I guess this time the line of guys they chose for this particular reality show are waaaayyy better than the others, i believe... (not that I've seen much.. this is based on what i heard).. but really.. for those who do watch it, even how much you roll your eyes at the corniness of the show, at LEAST you can have the choice to choose your fave candidate. Although, the judges.. hmmm... well, I do have to say that when it all comes down to it, each woman has her own criteria of what she wants in a man.. so, the judges
drama~drama~drama 2007-01-25 07:34:00 Hey, everyone... It's still the same ol' me.. just testing the waters here in Bloggers instead... and yeah, also because Syura persuaded me to... (What?! Did you just call me 'pushover'??) Whatevs..Anyhow, I'm in the midst of watching the American Idols audition (New York), and seriously... there's TOO TOO much drama
!!! COME ON! Enough alreadyyy....!!! Well, I'm just trying to vent out my frustration here... but I still wanna continue watching them belt out their tunes... and their drama.. *sigh* See you guys later..
Dinner@Shang's Palace 2007-06-01 10:26:00 Last night my family and I had a pretty good time at dinner. My brother and sis-in-law were very gracious to bring me and the rest of the family to Shang's Palace
, the Chinese restaurant at Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Beach Resort. My mom had wanted to go to have steamboat for dinner instead.. but NO CAN DO.. After all, before they could satisfy their cravings, they have to satisfy the pregnant lady's craving first.Hehehe.. Well, it wasn't like that. But I don't know who told them that I had a craving for PEKING DUCK.. I've been having that craving since I saw Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation!! All Syura's fault! And that was in March!! And FINALLY, after all that time, I FULFILLED MY WISH.. But it seems like the duck was pretty scrawny right?? Well it didn't TASTE scrawny at all! SOOOO DELISH!!! MY DELISH PEKING DUCK! But one thing I was really glad about, was the restaurant's service.. Everyone was friendly and accomodating.. Actually, when we arrived there, my son was already Read more:Dinner
A totally different ballgame... 2007-05-31 05:25:00 I really don't mean any offense towards all the Malaysian Manchester United supporters out there.. But come on 'lah'.. no need to boo-hoo over them not being able to play in Malaysia in July. They've played here what, 3 or 4 times already?? What to do if the AFC and FIFA say no?? Just shut up about it already.. I can't stand anymore of the whining!! GOSH!On the other hand... we can all have a change of scenery from this particular sport to another totallydifferent
ballgame.. none other thanROGER FEDERERVS.PETE SAMPRASNow I say THIS is the match that we all should be anticipating at the end of the year.. Man U is great and all but... overexposed all the same. Can't wait to see THESE guys in action!!
Selamat Hari Gawai Dayak 2007-06-03 02:13:00 Sorry peepz!! I know it's a tad bit too late!! I just wanted to wish all fellow ibans out there.. Selamat Hari Gawai Dayak
!! Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai, everyone!!! (FYI, Hari Gawai is celebrated on the 1st of June). To all my relatives in Kuching, other parts of Sarawak, KL and Australia (Aunty Rachel, Uncle Stan, Sian and Mark - miss you loads!, 'Aunty' Achen & Uncle Osman and family, 'Aunty' Pat and family, Jackie and family, Leslie, Stanley, Aunty Evelyn, Colin & Rachel and the kids, Freddie & Ann and the kids, Uncle Osen and the kids, Liza, Greg, Sharon and all the rest of my relatives.. there are too many to name!! Anyways, hope you guys had a great time.. some of them were celebrating in a longhouse in Betong.. How Fun!!Lengau keh kita'... Arap keh kitai betemu enda lama agi'...
Fred the "Monster Pig" 2007-06-03 01:57:00 I'm sure most of you have heard about the "Monster
Pig" by now, right??? But finally, it makes sense now that the so-called "Monster Pig" was actually a farm-raised "hog/pig" named Fred.. Apparently, the Fred's owners had sold him off because they wanted to get rid of all their pigs. It was sold to the Lost Creek Plantation just 4 days BEFORE Jamison Stone and his father killed it in a 3 hour chase.That was the thing that really boggled my mind in the first place. IF i was the pig (that looked like some creature reared for torture in LOTR), I would have chased that father and son and pull a "LOST" on them so fast before they can say "pek!" Hahahaha..I was discussing it with Syura, and we thought they found it already DEAD, shot it, then claimed they hunted it down. A pig that size, I thought it might have died of a cardiac arrest. But since it was in fact farm-raised, and not even close to wild in any manner, then it DOES make a little sense that it was the one RUNNING AWAY instead
Bad drivers in KK??? 2007-06-08 10:51:00 At the risk of sounding like a "DIVA", I just wonder WHY OH WHY, do people drive badly?? This is the second time I've blogged about bad drivers in KK.. The first one was waaayy back when I was blogging in Friendster.. Or is it that THESE incidents only happen to me??So anyways, for those living in KK.. there's this zebra crossing from Waterfront that crosses all the way to Warisan Square. There's two sections. First section is when you reach the island, and the next section goes all the way to Warisan Square (that is, if you come from Waterfront).So, we (mom, sis and my son), decided to park at Waterfront since the traffic police did the "sensible" thing of blocking the entrance to the Centre Point-Warisan parking area. That left us the choice of parking at Waterfront see? So as we continued down the zebra crossing, halfway through -- I might add, cars were still zooming past us as if there isn't a law in the world that says STOP AND GIVE WAY TO PEDESTRIANS.I was freaked out of my
Syura "ESP"n-ed me the durians!! 2007-06-07 06:32:00 OMG!! Just a few days ago, on Tuesday to be precise, I had this craving for durians.. YUP! I LOVE 'EM!( Don't you people go "ewww"-ing me.. 'Coz I would totally "EWWW" you when you people drink milk!) So there. Anyways.. I was soooo totally thinking that SYURA had to put durian on her gratitude list.. and when I checked out her new blog post, there it was at #31!! For those of you who don't get head or tail at what I'm getting at, you guys can check out Syura's blog.. "Petty Ramblings of a Petty Queen".The thing with Syura is.. She has this ability to "share" things with me just based on her ESP (or ESPN as we bimbo-jokingly say). I can't believe it.. My husband bought me a couple of durians when we passed the durian stall, 'coz I told him I totally needed to eat some. So while we were eating 'em, my mom was like.. Syura should be here with us.. She really loves durian. Just like her father. Then I said, "It's okay.. I'll take some pics and blog about it and she'll k
Rookie of the Year.. 2007-06-10 13:53:00 As the winner of the Canadian F1 GP 2007, I say, he is amazing and extremely talented. Although I'm a Ferrari fan (and pretty much disappointed at Massa's outcome -- or lack thereof), I say hat's off to "Hammy"!! After making his debut, he has really proved himself a very very talented driver and I really hope he kicks Alonso's a$$.. Doesn't matter if he doesn't win the Driver's Championship this year, I say this season belongs to him. It's far from over.. but he has done the team proud.. Ron Dennis was absolutely right to handpick him when he was 14.. Amazing! But if he DOES win.. then he will prove those people (namely, Alonso) who says "he has a loooooooonnnnnnnggg way to go to win a driver's championship", wrong. What more can I say?? Well done and congratulations to Louis Hamilton! Superb~~!! Read more:Rookie
Comfort food... 2007-06-09 02:52:00 At last I found a place to get my choc fix here in KK.. I'm not saying it's astounding and amazing, but it get's the job done. If you guys have any recommendations, lemme know. But so far, I really don't mind going for my Fish and Co's Hot Fudge Chocolate Cake. Yum-O!! It's still a far cry from TGI's Chocolate Malta Cake, but I guess in KK, this is what I have to settle for at the moment..
Miss you daddy.. 2007-06-12 11:43:00 It was June 13th 2001 when we received the call that you had left us forever.. I can never forget the feeling.. I was shocked. I was numb. I was filled with grief. It's been 6 years today.. since that fateful afternoon. At this moment, when I think back to it, I'm glad you had the foresight to put me in the same college with Kak Syura. Conicidentally, that day, we shared a class together. How ironic.. But I am forever grateful that we had each other to share our grief and support each other.. for I wouldn't know what I'd do if I was alone.We are still missing you today.. even though the years have passed. I can still feel your presence as if it were yesterday. Years have gone by yet the imprint of you still sticks with us and we love you and miss you more and more each day.I will never forget the sight of you giving me your trademark thumbs up as you drove away to the airport that Sunday. You were on your way back to KK and dropped by to see us. I'm glad you did. You passed away
Bye-bye Dr. Burke.. 2007-06-12 04:59:00 Apparently, because of the gay slurs spouted by actor Isaiah Washington towards co-star TR Knight on the set of Grey's Anatomy prompted the shows' producers to cut him off the show.. So there will be no more Dr. Burke
in the upcoming season 3 of Grey's Anatomy. Boohoo!! I kinda liked Dr. Burke.. Actress Katherine Heigl was also one of the most vocal of all the co-stars and criticised him openly. Yet, Isaiah Washington has been remorseful and apologetic following the incident and has since attended anger management courses. Hmmm.. gonna miss him! But it's okay.. there's always McDreamy and McSteamy and the hot Dr. Alex Karev anyway, right??
My day with fun clay 2007-06-18 23:12:00 Yesterday, while going out to buy some stuff for my kid sister's school project, my son suddenly saw this Ferrari model car he wanted so bad. Seeing as how "dry" my purse was, I had to steer him away to the cheapest item I saw. Fun clay or what we familiarly call plastesin. I was telling my son just how much fun we'll have making all sorts of shapes.. dinosaurs and all other cool stuff. Luckily for me, my son was easily dissuaded from the Ferrari car... THIS time. *phew* So as we got home, he immediately asked me to produce all the said things that I promised him in the store. So i started off trying to make a dinosaur, which ended up looking like a turtle.. Anyone who knows me well, just absolutely knows I have nil talent for these creative things. I can't draw, paint, or decently colour a kids colouring book. Haha.But soon I got the hang of it.. I soon moved on to snakes, a snail, a pig.. until he suddenly asked for the impossible.. MAKE ME DADDY!! Okayyy.. hold on there. I bet
No more bad hair days.. 2007-06-23 12:30:00 For most of you who don't know, my 3 year old son has really curly hair. Lately, it has been pretty unruly and my mom has been pestering me to cut his hair. It's really getting on my nerves too. But I had to wait for his Daddy to come back from KL, so that both of us can have a hand in cutting it. And no, sending my son to a barber will just create a havoc that we both will regret. :) BEFORE Haha.. Doesn't he just look adorable.. I couldn't stand it, you know, when people come up to me and say, awww.. isn't she cute.. Then ask me again, "He/She ah? " Okay. I'll let all of you single/unmarried people out there on a little clue. Please LOOK at the clothes that the child is wearing. It WILL give you a hint. And the shoes. I dress my son as boyish-ly as possible to deter people from asking me this question.. but I still get it all the time. WHY?? Ok, let's blame it on the hair.. So, mommy does a chop chop chop... and let's look at him now... AFTER So, what do you guys think? Yeah,
Harry Potter anyone???? 2007-07-05 23:41:00 Okay.. So, I am anxiously waiting for the release of HarryPotter
and The Order Of The Phoenix.. Yeah yeah yeah.. Call me pathetic or whatever, but don't act as if you guys have never watched a single installment of the movie at all! Pfffttttt~~ Anyways, getting back on track, I am under a current dilemma.. I have no one to watch it with. I usually go with my younger sister. However, this year, her class is going on this "field trip" to watch the movie when it premieres.. and that leaves me with... ME! *gasp* I can't watch it alone.. and I can't bring my son either.. I know he's gonna get fidgety and all.. after all, it's not like we're gonna watch Transformers.. (he soooo loved it by the way..) So, anyone wanna watch it with me, just give buzz me anytime, k?? *sigh*
Scorching hot.. 2007-07-05 10:37:00 Am I the only one feeling this heat or what?? I tell you (if you didn't know already, that is..) the weather in KK is just too too hot.. I think for every 20 seconds in the heat, I become a shade darker, seriously!!Okay, like today.. after doing the usual house chores and what not, i decided a little too late to change my bedsheets. This was like sometime around noon. So i changed my bedsheets and dumped the old ones in the washing machine.. Round and round it went.. until "kaching" (okay, my washing machine doesn't ring.. but then again, you get the point, right?) the sheets were done.. this was around 2pm. So i hung 'em out to dry.. under the terrible HOT and HUMID weather.. with a wet pillowcase on my head (to protect myself from sunstroke) and guess what?? By 4.30pm, everything was D-R-Y~!! Well, it is a good thing when it comes to laundry.. at least I don't have to worry about going out and the possibility of it raining and nobody's at home to pick up my clothes from the line
Thank you.. 2007-07-04 01:59:00 I would like to thank :The Ferrari team.. Raikkonen and Massa.. For giving me a great start to my weekend.. FINALLY, a 1 2 finish... there's hope yet!! Also, the ever cool Transformers... I finally got to watch it on MONDAY.. and i am UTTERLY speechless at how cool the movie turned out... Thank
you Micheal Bay! I could watch this movie over AND over AND over again.. they need to do a sequel! I SO LOVES!!I would also like to thank the people who created the latest technology in sonograms and detailed ultrasounds.. It's so amazing how I managed to be able to see ALL of my baby's vital organs in detail.. and Alhamdulillah.. everything is going well! And no.. i'm not telling what the sex of the baby is in MY blog.. because my hubby doesn't want to know yet.. So for those of you who know.. don't blab it out to the husband, okay?? Desperate Housewives.. For giving me my Tuesday dose of entertainment.. Yeah, i do not download off the internet.. :) And finally, Grey's Anatomy.. For TO
Oh my! Oh my! 2007-07-06 08:35:00 Nicole Richie pregnant?? *sigh* I feel sorry for the baby already.. Okay that might seem a little mean for an expectant mother to comment about another expectant mother.. but.. *sigh* these people are just not normal! Sure the kid will grow up to be rich and have all the other things in the world that other parents can't afford for THEIR kids.. but parents like Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. Look at Britney Spears.. her parents are as close to normal as you and I.. look how SHE turned out.. Okay okay.. *exhale* negative energy out *breathe in* positive CHI back in to my body... *smiles* I'm all better now!!
Market bags.. 2007-07-18 22:55:00 Okayyy... so for those of you gals.. or guys out there who just happen to be a loyal reader of InStyle magazine will definitely find this pretty hilarious.. This is the LATEST "Market
Bag" by Jaye Hersh. Apparently these bags are sold at $85-$100, monogramming from $20. $35 of each sale goes to the International Rescue Committee.. (which is great by the way).. And these bags are used by the likes of Hollywood A-list Celebrities.. Vanessa Minnillo and the like... What I find hilarious is, how these international upcoming designers can make so much out of our "pasar malam"(night market) bags! You don't have to be a Vanessa Minnillo wannabe to own this bag.. just go down to Gaya Street (if you're in KK) and Petaling Street or any other "pasar malam" in KL to get this.. You can get them big for less than RM10 I think. No need to spend USD100 for these bags.I'm sorry peepz.. you might disagree with me but I just find this utterly ridiculous..
I'm back!! 2007-07-18 22:13:00 I've been really feeling under the weather lately.. Well, actually that's an understatement. I've been really sick.. and having a fever, cough, allergies, runny nose, headaches, backaches.. The whole works!! And when I got better, the internet was so haywire.. I don't know what happened and only yesterday was I finally able to get things back in line.. or online. Anyways, I hope to get back and see what's up with all my readers and fellow bloggers.. Loves ya!!
Happy birthday to you...

She's soooo old! Haha.. no lah.. Old pun, I'm the one with the kids. *gasp* hahaha.. Sorry.. I don't have a birthday present for you.. and ur "beloved" bro-in-law pun bukan boleh harap sangat to find you a pressie for me to pass to you over there.. *shakes head*.. (hopeless in the gift buying department)..Nemermine.. Later we go makan at Victoria's Station.. kalau ndak mampu nanti.. we just go eat at the bus station in Cyberjaya. Station jugak tu!But still the best gift of all that Johnny, Buddy and I can give you will be making his/her debut in October.. So Titi Rara have to be patient for that.. I just have to say YOU are one of the best aunt's that my kids can ever have. Even if you DO teach my "buddy" to sing Ice-Ice Baby.. We are grateful to have you in our lives.. Anyways, I hop
Wile E. Coyote vs. Roadrunner 2007-07-23 11:46:00 I was watching Cartoon Network with my son this morning and The Roadrunner Show or whatever it's called was on.. The longer I watched, the more irritated I got with the bloody roadrunner.. I just hope to see the day when dear Coyote
manages to catch the annoying "beep-beep" (as my son calls it), and gobbles him up. Give poor ol' Coyote a break.. I don't know why the heck I bother to blog about it, it's just been on my mind since I watched it. Haha. I don't know about you guys, but I'm on Coyote's side. Cheers~~
Ooohhh.. you're so "REXY"! 2007-07-25 22:32:00 Have you heard? Kate Moss has started a new fad! And no.. it's not from her latest designs with Topshop. The new fad is... (drumroll please).. her new bod! The Brits have labeled her new bod, REXY. Which by the way is, a cross between looking AnoREXic and Sexy. What has the world turned into? Since when can looking almost anorexic is sexy.. *sigh*.. I don't know. But one thing I know for sure is, I don't want to look REXY. Thanks but no thanks. And please, peepz. Click click. Don't forget to feed the hungry. (maybe Ms. Moss is one of them.. hehehe). Sorry. Bad joke.
Feed the Hungry 2007-07-25 03:28:00 As I was doing my usual blog hopping today, I noticed that us bloggers must have had at LEAST one post on food. Accompanied with pictures. U name it, we've blogged about it. Cakes, done. Local food, done. Durians, done done done done. (at least 4 bloggers - including myself have blogged about it this past month or so).We love food. We can't help ourselves. I feel really fortunate that food comes in abundance wherever we go.. and that none of us have to go through starvation and hunger. Therefore, we should really count our blessings that we lead a happy and blessed life.So, why don't we lend a helping hand to those who need it the most? Famous celebrities, Sheryl Crow, Drew Barrymore, Angelina Jolie.. all the UN ambassadors are doing their part in the battle to fight hunger.. Why not include ourselves in trying to help the UN in their bid to end child hunger by 2015.ONE CLICK. That's all it takes. One click and one child will be fed by a sponsor. So, I hope all of us can take time Read more:Hungry
