The Killer Vegetable

Went out for dinner with TheParents again. It wasn't so bad this time, maybe because Wei was there.

BabyLern's whole family loves bitter gourd. I don't. In fact, it's probably safe to say that I almost hate it. Usually I don't mind bitter stuff like super black and concentrated coffee, or even those Chinese medicine thingy that Mumi makes me drink whenever I am sick. But the bitter gourd has this kind of bitterness to it that tastes really bad and weird. Yucks!

So when the small little wrinkly vegetables arrived on the table, TheParents encouraged me to have one, and my heart dropped. I don't wanna put that thing in my mouth, but how could I refuse them??? Luckily BabyLern came to the rescue and told them that I didn't eat bitter gourd. Phew!

But TheParents refused to give up, and asked me to try one. And by one I mean the whole baby bitter gourd (which is more bitter than the normal one), not just like, one spoonful. BabyLern came to the rescue again, and said that we'll share one. He took one baby bitter gourd and cut it into 4 pieces. He looked up at my face, and then proceeded to cut 1 piece further into half. So now that small piece more or less come up to a spoonful...a TABLEspoonful, not TEAspoonful *sobs*.

So that spoon was hovering in front of my face. Couldn't bring myself to take it the last few centimetres to my mouth. *sniff sniff* Omg, it smells so not good! Looked up and saw everyone looking at me expectantly. Gave a little smile (more like a grimace actually), took a breath and put the damn spoon in my mouth.

The first chew didn't seem so bad. Then came more chews. And I was reaching for the rice, and my drink....anything to get the taste off my tongue!!! TheParents were looking at me and asked how was it. Dilemna-ing now. To tell the truth or to lie? To say "It was good!" or "It sucked! I hated it! *ptui ptui!*"? In the end, I settled on somewhere in between the two.

"It was ok. *smile and shovel more rice into my mouth*"

Went home in one piece. Looks like the little green bitter vegetable didn't do much damage.

Bleurgh! Can still taste the bitter gourd in my mouth now. *rubs tongue with chocolate*

Hanging Out at McD's

This is probably the first time I hung out at McD's till so early in the morning...was there for like nearly 4 hours leh...time flies....

Thank god for 24-hour McD's!!! *heart*

My Bed Broke

It just collapsed.

Don't ask me why.

Enuff said.

Meet The Parents

BabyLern asked me to join him and his parents for dinner last night. My first reaction was most probably like this:




OMG...he suddenly sprang this on me when I least expected it, even told his parents that I'm coming along already. Crap, was freaking out, wondering if I was dressed appropriately, or if I looked ok...after all, first impressions DO matter...I was seriously panicking there, so much that BabyLern said that I didn't have to go if I didn't want to. But hey, I have to get it over and done with sooner or later right? They were already expecting me anyway...So what the heck...just let me hyperventilate a bit more, then I'm ready...








It turned out ok I guess...We went to Manhattan Fish Market. BabyLern and I ordered the Premium Fish Catch Whole Fish Platter from their 'Strictly For Sharing' menu...They seriously gave a whole fried fish. Yucks, I hate eating stuff with the bones still attached, probably coz I'm too lazy to take the time to remove them...would recommend the Manhattan Seafood Platter For Two instead, or if you like their fried mushrooms (which are really good) try the Fishermen's Giant Fried Platter, I think it comes with more servings of prawns also.

I kept asking BabyLern if his parents said anything bout me after the dinner...Gosh, it's like sitting for exams liddat...No wait, I think exams are less stressful... O.o

The Hunt For Red Meat

Was seriously craving for beef this whole week. A big, fat, juicy piece of steak, medium rare and oozing pink juices as you cut into the tender meat....*drools*

So last night BabyLern wanted to go dating *hugs* and we ended up at Sunway Pyramid. We practically walked all over Pyramid in my quest for the best and cheapest place that offered beef...thank god I have a boyfriend who is so accomodating...The most obvious choice would of course be Tony Roma's, but for Rm50+ a pop, I don't think so...So went to the directory to search for restaurants which sound like they serve big juicy beef. Haih, to cut a very long story short (we WERE walking for more than 1 hour just looking for beef u know...ONLY BEEF...wasn't looking at other stuff :s) there are no restaurants in Pyramid offering nice big juicy beef for less than RM30....so we went for plan B, dinner at TGI Friday's (it was a Friday after all...hehehe...).

I ordered the Jack Daniel's Sirloin which was kinda a disappointment coz it only came with mash potatoes and almost 1/3 of the steak was fat..yucks...! Sigh...and it cost me RM39.90, not including taxes...Hey wait, correction, it cost BabyLern RM39.90, not including taxes...Thanks so much, love you baby!

And guess what? My cravings are still not completely satisfied. *sniff*

Me still want big fat juicy beef steak!!!

Little Siu Keong

Yay!!! I now have a 'siu keong' exterminator! *hearts*

BabyLern said he was more freaked out over my reaction to Little Siu Keong than to, well, Little Siu Keong. Heeheehee....Well, what to do...I have this major phobia about cockroaches. Freaks me out!

He even uses Shieldtox differently. From my perch high up on the dining table, I would have just used the Shieldtox to spray the little bugger to death and fog my whole house up with death fumes, but BabyLern used it as a death bat...*whack whack*....Well, either way, it worked! <3

Hmmm, I wonder if my exterminator works 24/7....?

*ring ring*
"Hello?"
"Baby! 'Siu keong' in my toilet! Help!!! Come over now!!! I need to pee badly!!! *wails*"

-_-''


P.S. Let's all have a moment of silence for Little Siu Keong.....*silence*

The Parents Know

BabyLern finally told his Dad bout us yesterday, or more like his Dad asked if he was seeing anyone. Either way, now his Dad knows (which means his Mum will know too, I guess...?). So today I decided to tell Mumi as well. Did it over breakfast. Dadi wasn't there though. Mumi didn't really show much reaction, just asked who it was. And she still remembered BabyLern from when he came over the other day.

Later on at home, SissyDear and I were sitting in the living room, and I told her that I had already told Mumi bout the boyfriend thingy. And for some reason she shouted "Mi! Stephanie has got a boyfriend already!" -_-'' That time Mumi was in the kitchen. Dadi was there with Mumi also, so I guess he heard. Mumi just said "Ya, I know. He came over the other day. Nice boy." So I guess BabyLern just got Mumi's approval...?

But Dadi didn't say anything. That's coz he's, well, he's just Dadi....he doesn't say much, especially when it comes to his daughters' love lives. I guess it's just coz he's the only guy in the family. But I think he's gonna ask Mumi a million questions later. Hehehe....Dadi is so cute sometimes! *heart*

PinkLappie Overloaded

Yesterday PinkLappie blue screened on me...BabyLern said that it was because our MSN conversation was getting too sexy for it already, so it crashed...Hahaha...*giggles*

<3

Frustrations...

Gym is good. Very good. In fact, damn good! And I'm not talking bout good for health here, people...rather, I'm talking bout how good it is for releasing pent-up frustrations. Seriously, if you're feeling particularly frustrated, just go to the gym and work that stationary bike to the ground! Or just pound it out on the freaking treadmill! Heck, come to think of it, you don't even need a gym...just go for a run around your neighbourhood!

Ahhh...seriously, I had so much energy when I hit the gym today...all those pent-up energy needed an outlet. Could have gone a few more kilometres on the bike, but was running short on time...Damn! But at least got to release some of the frustrations....

ARGH!!! OMG, can feel it all building up again!!! NOOOOoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pounds head against wall*

Squirrel From Hell

This is actually plagarised from WilliamS's bloggie. Read this sometime back.....Seriously, it was damn hilarious! I was laughing till my tummy ached! I dare you not to laugh!

I never dreamed slowly cruising on my motorcycle through a residential neighbourhood could be so incredibly dangerous! Little did I suspect … I was on Brice Street - a very nice neighbourhood with perfect lawns and slow traffic. As I passed an oncoming car, a brown furry missile shot out from under it and tumbled to a stop immediately in front of me. It was a squirrel, and must have been trying to run across the road when it encountered the car. I really was not going very fast, but there was no time to brake or avoid it - it was that close. I hate to run over animals, and I really hate it on a motorcycle, but a squirrel should pose no danger to me. I barely had time to brace for the impact.

Animal lovers, never fear. Squirrels, I discovered, can take care of themselves! Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing my oncoming Valkyrie with steadfast resolve in his little beady eyes. His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt! I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, “Banzai!” or maybe, “Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!” The leap was nothing short of spectacular … as he shot straight up, flew over my windshield, and impacted me squarely in the chest. Instantly, he set upon me. If I did not know better, I would have sworn he brought 20 of his little buddies along for the attack. Snarling, hissing, and tearing at my clothes, he was a frenzy of activity. As I was dressed only in a light t-shirt, summer riding gloves, and jeans this was a bit of a cause for concern.

This furry little tornado was doing some damage! Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and leather gloves, puttering at maybe 25 mph down a quiet residential street, and in the fight of his life with a squirrel. And losing… I grabbed for him with my left hand. After a few misses, I finally managed to snag his tail. With all my strength, I flung the evil rodent off to the left of the bike, almost running into the right curb as I recoiled from the throw. That should have done it. The matter should have ended right there. It really should have. The squirrel could have sailed into one of the pristinely kept yards and gone on about his business, and I could have headed home. No one would have been the wiser.
But this was no ordinary squirrel. This was not even an ordinary pissed-off squirrel. This was an EVIL MUTANT ATTACK SQUIRREL OF DEATH! Somehow he caught my gloved finger with one of his little hands and, with the force of the throw, swung around and with a resounding thump and an amazing impact, he landed squarely on my back and resumed his rather anti-social and extremely distracting activities. He also managed to take my left glove with him! The situation was not improved. Not improved at all. His attacks were continuing, and now I could not reach him.

I was startled to say the least. The combination of the force of the throw, only having one hand (the throttle hand) on the handlebars, and my jerking back unfortunately put a healthy twist through my right hand and into the throttle. A healthy twist on the throttle of a Valkyrie can only have one result. Torque. This is what the Valkyrie is made for, and she is very, very good at it. The engine roared and the front wheel left the pavement. The squirrel screamed in anger. The Valkyrie screamed in ecstasy. I screamed in … well … I just plain screamed. Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a slightly squirrel-torn-t-shirt, wearing only one leather glove, and roaring at maybe 50 mph and rapidly accelerating down a quiet residential street on one wheel and with a demonic squirrel on his back. The man and the squirrel are both screaming bloody murder.

With the sudden acceleration I was forced to put my other hand back on the handlebars and try to get control of the bike. This was leaving the mutant squirrel to his own devices, but I really did not want to crash into somebody’s tree, house, or parked car. Also, I had not yet figured out how to release the throttle … my brain was just simply overloaded. I did manage to mash the back brake, but it had little effect against the massive power of the big cruiser. About this time the squirrel decided that I was not paying sufficient attention to this very serious battle (maybe he is an evil mutant NAZI attack squirrel of death), and he came around my neck and got INSIDE my full-face helmet with me. As the faceplate closed partway, he began hissing in my face. I am quite sure my screaming changed intensity. It had little effect on the squirrel, however. The RPMs on The Dragon maxed out (since I was not bothering with shifting at the moment) so her front end started to drop. Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a very raggedly-torn t-shirt, wearing only one leather glove, roaring at probably 80 mph, still on one wheel, with a large puffy squirrel’s tail sticking out of the mostly closed full-face helmet. By now the screams are probably getting a little hoarse. Finally I got the upper hand … I managed to grab his tail again, pulled him out of my helmet, and slung him to the left as hard as I could. This time it worked … sort-of. Spectacularly sort-of … so to speak.

Picture a new scene. You are a cop. You and your partner have pulled off on a quiet residential street and parked with your windows down to do some paperwork. Suddenly, a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a torn t-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing only one leather glove, moving at probably 80 mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car. I heard screams. They weren’t mine…

I managed to get the big motorcycle under control and dropped the front wheel to the ground. I then used maximum braking and skidded to a stop in a cloud of tire smoke at the stop sign of a busy cross street. I would have returned to fess up (and to get my glove back). I really would have. Really. Except for two things. First, the cops did not seem interested or the slightest bit concerned about me at the moment. When I looked back, the doors on both sides of the patrol car were flung wide open. The cop from the passenger side was on his back, doing a crab walk into somebody’s front yard, quickly moving away from the car. The cop who had been in the driver’s seat was standing in the street and was aiming a riot shotgun at his own police car. So the cops were not interested in me. They often insist to “let the professionals handle it” anyway.

That was one thing. The other? Well, I could clearly see shredded and flying pieces of foam and upholstery from the back seat. But I could also swear I saw the squirrel in the back window, shaking his little fist at me, shooting me the finger … That is one dangerous squirrel. And now he has a patrol car. A somewhat shredded patrol car … but it was all his.

I took a deep breath, turned on my turn signal, made a gentle right turn off of Brice Street, and sedately left the neighbourhood. I decided it was best to just buy myself a new pair of gloves. And some band-aids.

Pain in the...leg

I'm damn forgetful sometimes....no wait, MOST of the time. I could probably forget bout my kids and leave them somewhere (if I had any...)....Hmmm, that statement sounds familiar....So the other day after seeing the doctor for my mandatory medical checkup, guess what I forgot to do? I forgot to make a damn bloody appointment for the next time. I only realised it like, nearly 2 months later when it was almost nearing the time for my supposed appointment. I could only remember that it was scheduled for 2 months after my last appointment but I couldn't seem to remember the date. Went to check my appointment card, and lo and behold, no wonder I couldn't remember the appointment date...coz I didn't make an appointment to begin with!!! DUH!!!

Me starting to panic already. My medicine was almost finishing and I didn't have an appointment to see the doctor to renew my prescription. Die la....So rushed to the hospital as soon as I found the opportunity (no use calling them, they won't pick up... :s) The appointment lady gave me a date in August. Okie!!! Was walking away when it suddenly hit me...Eh, bimbo! Your meds kenot last dat long la!!! Oh, crap....So walked back to the lady and explained the situation to her, and she gave me a date for the 2nd week of July, 2 weeks after my supposed appointment date. Shit, this means that I'll have to ration my meds...how the hell to do that la..????

Well, did some thinking and calculating, and came up with a system. I'll just ration the Hydroxychloroquine and only take them on the days when I don't have to take Prednisolone!!! That'll even things out! But turns out that it doesn't really work. Hydroxychloroquine ran out 4 days ago and I think I'm starting to feel the effects already. My head-splitting-headaches are back, and yesterday my right leg has started aching at the knee joint, and now it seems to be radiating to my ankle joint (signs that I'm relapsing) OMG, Wednesday come sooner!!! I need meds!!! I'm a junkie!!! *prays fervently*

Owww!!!

Sweet Day...

Finally went to Ikea after longing to for a very long time. Bought some stuff and put them in the car coz still wanna walk around The Curve...and that's when my day turned sweeter....

*happy sigh* Well, some of my friends have always asked the question "Why are you still single???", "When are you gonna get a bf?". The answer has always been "When I am good and ready to get a bf, I will get a bf!", or "I just haven't found the right person who makes me wanna get into that relationship mumbo jumbo yet."

Well, I made a promise to a couple of friends (don't know if they still remember it though...it was said just in passing...) and now I'm keeping that promise....

I Found Him!!!

*giggles* Yup, it became official today. Well sort of la...we had a sorta failed take off a couple of days ago...But then, it's all good. Turns out it's a good date too, easy to remember...06/07/08

My irritability threshold was significantly higher today, couldn't seem to get mad even when people stepped on my shoes (I really don't like that coz my shoes are already gonna come apart at the slightest pressure :s) Ahhh...I still get butterflies in my tummy whenever I think back on today.

Can't stop smiling!!! :D

Me Is Bad Daughter...

Was surfing in the living room as usual. DadDi walked past and saw my Hershey's Kissables, which I just got yesterday, next to PinkLappie.

DadDi: "What's that?"
Me: "What's what?" *looks around*
"That..." *points to the silver pack of chocs*
"Oh, that....they're chocolates." (oh crap, shouldn't have said that)
*smiles and holds out his hand* (SEE!!! Told you so!!!)
"Erm, kenot!!!"
"Why not???"
"Erm...coz....coz they're mine!"
"......" *goes upstairs*

Sorry la Di....but I also keberatan wanna eat them myself! I buy you your own chocolates ok???

But then again, my Kissables have an expiry date...if tak makan, a bit wasted rite? Hmmm...maybe I should eat one whenever I'm lonely, medicine for the lonely heart....means that I should have finished the whole pack by now... -_-''

Wrong Time, Wrong Place

It was so unexpected, maybe I shouldn't have started it then and there. It was just me, nudging too much. My bad. But seriously, I didn't imagine it happening right then and there. When I heard the statement, I was like thinking 'WHAT??!!! NOO!!! Not here!!!'. Hahaha...damn I'm so fussy sometimes. Feel kinda bad now though. Maybe my reaction was a tad too over-the-top. Should have handled it better, maybe a little more sensitively...?



P.S. I'm so sorry! I realise that it took a lot of effort on your part....I just wasn't thinking! *blush*

Celcom Commercial

Last month, someone I know couldn't make it for a Celcom commercial shoot coz it starts at night; sometimes these commercial shoots can drag on for 12 hours and she was worried bout that. So she asked me to replace her. The pay was RM100, so why not right? But I was inwardly praying that the shoot won't take long coz I had to work the next morning...I damn hero rite? -_-''

The shoot was supposed to take place at 9.30pm in Cineleisure Damansara. Arrived there on the dot, but as usual, nothing started yet...Met AaronH, JohnJohn, and Edward there also...So hung around with them at McDs. I actually brought my big assed reference book with me coz I had an assignment to submit in 3 days, and I haven't started a thing! Really, really hero....*double swt*

The shoot finally started at around 11.30pm or 12am. Was so tired, coz I had been working the whole day. Luckily all they required me to do was sit in the cinema and pretend to watch a movie while eating popcorn. Managed to sleep a while while they were setting up some stuff in between also. And guess what? It ended half an hour later! Damn fast rite???!!! Woot!!! I was paid on the spot. So basically I went to Cineleisure just to collect RM100...hehehe....

Left Cineleisure and drove like a mad woman back home. I was so sleepy, all I wanted to do was go home and crash (eh, that sounded wrong....not my car la...crash on the bed...) So that's why:

Cineleisure -> Puchong Dalam Dalam = +- 20 minutes

'Keng' leh.....!

OOooo!!! And here's my commercial which I found recently. It's already airing on TV!

I'm the one sitting behind the main character with the 'fro in the cinema....When he moves his head towards the monkey for a kiss you can see me, the girl who's looking kinda bored...Eh, I was sleepy ok!!!!

Pets"R"Us

Found these pics in my mailbox. Couldn't resist adding captions to them. :)

Cat-dentity Crisis.

Assassin, Interrupted.

SuperWoof to the rescue!

I. Is. Scared.

Hallelujah! I see the catnip!

Mc-Dogaccino. On sale for a limited time only.

Steamboat buffet!!!

Been craving for tom yam sup for quite some time. And what better place to satisfy my craving than at a steamboat buffet where you can get unlimited supply! The only place I know which has a buffet spread at affordable prices is at Yuen Restaurant (at least I think that's the name...) in Sunway. So been bugging SorryWrongNumber bout it for quite some time already. Was supposed to go with the 3 guys after the last exam paper on Friday, but I had a last minute sisters-berbonding session that night, so had to cancel with the guys. Coffee looked so dejected when he found out that the makan session was canceled...Sorry Coffee! My bad!

Today the stars must all be alligned, coz we're going to makan steamboat buffet tonight!!! *drool* SingingMan won't be with us coz he's back in his hometown, but I managed to rope in CincauAaron...Hmm, must try to psych him into going to Malacca with us also!!!

~lalalaa~ Steamboat buffet! Steamboat buffet! Can't wait!

Pick me up...(update 2)

'Pick-me-up' guy messaged me again...Now he's asking why I haven't replied him, and to please talk to him....damn, shouldn't have given him my email address. ARGH!!! Contemplating if I should reply him now, feel kinda bad...

Holiday mode

Ahhh....assignments submitted, exams over...I feel so free right now! (don't remind me bout FYP! It's nonexistent for the time being...) Went to sing k with Keith, Kevin, Grace-y, JuYau and Hoe-pet the day after my last paper...my voice is so out of shape adi!!!! Hey, voice also must exercise ok...!!! Grace-y had to leave at 6pm so it was just me with the guys till late at night.

Woke up early Sunday morning to go to Genting and gila gila there with other crazy people for a night. Was kinda tired though, coz I only slept for like 2 hours on Saturday night. Went to theme park, but it was kinda boring adi, the thrills lasted for such a short while... :( Hung out at Starbucks while waiting for our turn to check in to the hotel (our turn was like, 400 numbers away!!!) OOoooo, got tired of waiting so some of us went to the casino...my first time!!! Had a drinking session in the room that night. There seemed to be some conspiracy to try to get me drunk...hmm...couldn't drink much that night, was probably too tired...so I bowed out and went to bed before the bottle was empty... O.o This seems to be a day of firsts...

Was really tired on Monday. Couldn't seem to keep myself awake. Was sleeping wherever I could; at breakfast, back at the hotel room, in the car on the way down from Genting, even at CincauAaron's place while watching tv :s But managed to find the strength to go out yum cha with Keith and Kevin that night though, came home around 1-something am only...LOL...

Tuesday...aahhh....finally a day where I'm free to do my laundry.

Wednesday, went on a date <3 color="#ff0000">SorryWrongNumber, Coffee, and Erica (Coffee's friend). Angelina Jolie is SOOooo HAWT!!! I'll say it again, I wouldn't mind doing her....wouldn't mind doing her other half either....heck, wouldn't mind doing them both at the same time! After satisfying my fantasies in the cinema, we went to Sunway Pyramid to jalan jalan...(Coffee's idea, he must have been really bored those past few days)

Friday, laundry day again. Yippie!!! (hey, I haven't had much time to do laundry since exams started ok....!)

Saturday, again, laundry day...(chill...it's almost all done already)

Sunday, went to the Puppy.com doggie event at 1Utama park with SissyDear. It was drizzling that day though, we got kinda soaked. Doggies looked like wet balls of moving fur. Blue-y looked even more like a wet piece of moving rug....ahaks. Managed to pop into 1U to do some shopping. Bought a concealer to cover up my dark eye circles courtesy of APIIT (dark eye circles, not concealer...-_-''). Went home and wanted to do my last load of laundry, but SissyDear commandeered the washing machine for her laundry...Oh, well....OOooo...have a bruise on my butt after I fell on it in the park. Was holding on to Jo's cocker spaniel Brandy, and she saw something that interested her, gave a mighty tug, and the next thing u know, I'm on my butt on the wet grass. The chair I was sitting on was kinda on a slope though and Brandy caught me by surprise, so maybe that's why I fell so easily...Was screaming like a little girl when I realised what was about to happen (was at it for quite some time) but no one came to my rescue :( Heard Ivan laughing there some more *sniff* Ouch...

Monday, was supposed to go down to Klang today, but SissyDear skipped work and wanted to go to 1U. Me starting to get itchy also, so I decided to postpone Klang and tag along with SissyDear. Walked into Padini Concept Store and bought 2 pairs of shoes within 10 minutes (they were 50% off!!! Original price >RM60, couldn't resist!). Went to F.O.S. and bought 2 'Old Navy' long sleeve tops for RM29, 2 cute racer-back tees for RM16 and 2 pairs of these oh-so-cute shorts for RM26. Since I was already on a shopping spree, decided to do further damage and buy some face powder also... -_-'' Dunno if I should be happy or sad on that day. Happy coz I bought so many new stuff, or sad coz I spent so much getting those said stuff...Hmm....

Tuesday, in Klang now, just as I had promised Mumi (she was making a lot of noise bout why I was on holiday for so long already but now only coming home....)

Wednesday, hhhmmm, Wednesday, Wednesday....hopefully someone will ask me out tomorrow, but not that optimistic though...haih...
