so anxious

Tuesday, 28Nov - 32days

Yoh, i'm so damn sleepy now. This morning got up at 6.30am cos cousin must report in school before 7am for his school camp. When i went downstairs, nobody is around but all the lights were on. Strange i tot, so i brushed my teeth and bathed. Before that saw ah kim lying on the sofa but cousin was nowhere to be seen. What the heck, so i bathed first. Cousin overslept again so ah kim had to rush him to school and came back to get ready for work. Sleepy me now trying to work but couldn't. And it's only 4.20pm (12.20am his time). Husband-to-be and i talk a lot online during weekdays but i doubt we'll be continue talking when he's back in Penang. Work piling up for him. Oh yeah, i already booked him next week to complete our assignment - rush for registration documents. Will follow my fren home to bworth tomorrow to get the car and for the pics. Then back to the house to show in-laws (if not too late) but will bring all back to penang lar :p Parents will be here this weekend. Was supposed to take the pics today but forgetful me, the shop closes every Tues. Stupid shop :p I think the reason why i couldn't get my pic until today cos i'm cursed by the salesgirls there :D

happy me

Monday, 27Nov - 33days

I got to order my notebook...finally, after 3years of waiting. My dept admin did all the ordering for me after lunch. So what i will get is n8430 (i think she ordered wrong model for me cos this is for engineer only, who cares :p ) + bag pack + security lock. Ok, so i dun get a new LCD monitor. Well well, i dun bother much. But the delivery date is after Xmas, 23 working days...iskh!! I hope i get it before i go on leave. Heard from penguin that Boo also requested for one but unsuccessful cos no valid reason. Boo was offerred a notebook once upon a time, but she stupidly refused the offer, you say got such stupid person or not. So now, she is dying to get one. I wish i could laugh at her, but as long as the notebook has not arrived, the risk of losing the notebook to other people is still there. Too bad, it's a competitive world...notebook up for grab. So sampat.

Happy Thanksgiving :)

I have a good news, so 100% good news but still it's a good news to us. I finally gathered enough courage to call again after 4hours. Joyce answered my phone finally. The workers are rushing to complete our albums by end of today- 80% will complete. But if not then will have to drag until tomorrow and call me again. Yeah, you're so rite, i have to call them. I'm so glad now, finally i get to see my albums :)

Happy holidays for husband-to-be in US. He will be starting his journey to his childhood dream place (i think) in a couple of hours. How i wish i was there too. No worries lar, i have to keep my name "clean" among my relatives, so have to forgo the offer to fly over to visit him there. RM8K just flew away. Anyway, i would really want to go for a honeymoon (be it near or far) right after our wedding but this will also depend on his schedule. Work = money.

Enjoy yourself and take more pics, yah. Should i say thank ang kong i met you? It's Thanksgiving wat :p

wake up call

Thursday, 23Nov - 37days

One month since we last saw our photos frm this bridal shop. So i decided to wake them up today.

Peegy: Hello, CB, good morning, how are you?
Me: Hello, Peggy?
Peggy: Photos are not ready (she recognised my voice, good)
Me: What? Still not ready? I want to take my 20R & cd this Friday.
Peggy: Can you call back at 10.30am? The staff are not in yet.
Me: Ok, bye
Peggy: Bye


She knew i would call them today it seems. Or i'm their only bugger? Will call again at 11am today. I want a satisfactory answer today.

once upon a time

Weds, 22Nov - 38days

My coursemate told me this, "mayb tey tot u hav always been the brighter ones amongst us, so mayb tey were expecting somting glamorous fr u"..this sentence kept ringing in my ears since last night. This is going to be a loooong post.

On my first day at college in Kampar, Ipoh, i barely spoke any cantonese cos all along i've been speaking english with my classmates. Eversince Std 1, i've always landed in top 3 classes. I could still remember the names of my classes & also the my class teachers. My results have been excellent thru out the years until F5, where my attention was diverted during my F5 major exam and my life has changed since then. I was accepted into a semi-government college in May'99. A day before the college starts, parents & xiao yi went to Kampar with me, to clean my room & set up wardrobe. When they left, i was alone with 3 other strangers in the house. My room consisted of 3 persons, while the master rooms was occupied by 4 girls. There were 10persons in one double storeys semi-d house. That was the first time i ever slept together with strangers. The next morning, 3 of us walked to the college, all registered in different courses. One of the lecturers was calling out names & courses. I was separated from my housemates, scared but still calm. I sort of regretted that i went to the chinese-ed college, i couldn't find any familiar faces and worse, everybody spoke in either Cantonese/Mandarin. Where are all the hokkiens & convent girls?

We were then sent to the college hall, it was so small & yet so crowded. There, i met a group of samseng-like guys (whom then became my coursemates and friends till now - the Batu Gajah gang). Imagine, whole life i've never mix with guys ( tuitions are not counted cos i was always late on purpose and my tuition teacher would always keep a place right in front of the class for me, together with other girls :p ). Then we had our orientation and i was divided into the same group as my housemate, which made me so glad. I couldn't participate well in group work cos i can't speak cantonese properly & of cos i was extremely shy (that time only). The only person i ever talked to were a few girls & my housemate. People only noticed me during talent time, where i gave them idea for stage presentation. Group members accepted my idea & i wrote the whole story line (since need to perform using english...hehehe) & even wrote the scripts for them all. A play where all the 19 of us got to participate and i of cos got to stay off the stage as narrator. Our group got 1st prize, thanks to me as the director & producer & narrator ;) Since that day, i was more comfortable and kinda of got used to the environment and frens. Everybody knew me as the girl who spoke good english. I was like "one eye jack in the kingdom of the blinds". Started to mix with more friends. Orientation lasted for one week & i was also selected as one of the candidates for Ms. Freshies. Didn't go for the audition cos i couldn't sing or act :p Shy shy again.

Life became better and my studies was going smooth except programming subject. Each semester i scored straight A's but a stupid B for programming, all the time. Got cursed i think. I was not meant for this course in the first place. All group presentation was done by me. English classes were the most fun among all others. The lecturers were so clicked with me. AP was my class rep. We girls were quite annoyed with him at first cos he was such a joker. Always late & irresponsible until i started to mix with him in my diploma second year. We became good buddy in the end, till today. My landlady spotted me & requested me to be her only daughter's english tuition teacher. RM60 per person (2 kindergarten kids), 1hour, twice a week. Easy money.

During my diploma second year, i was elected as emcee for new intake. AP was supposed to be my partner in crime, manatau he didn't want to commit....iskh!! But i wanted to give it a try, wat izzit like to be an emcee in front of all the students in my college. It was indeed a very successful event where i got to dress up. After the event, i started to mix with new freshies from new intake, a bunch of crazy gang who sang in the middle of the night at the padang opposite my rented house. A bunch of people who would walk to waterfall, a bunch of people who partied in their house once a while. Life started to become interesting. And my results was well maintained and graduated in Diploma with distinction, only 3 of us...LL, another girl & myself :D

Little did my coursemates know that my results dropped tremendously in KL. Was having very hard time to adapt to the college life in KL. Bad condition in college, useless admin, arrogant lecturers, tasteless cafeteria food, low maintenance toilets, ugly buildings, chinese-ed students, kiasu Penang coursemates. Stayed in hostel on twin basis. No water heater, no place to hang clothes, dirty toilets to wash clothes, no place to cook maggi mee. Life was miserable. Lecture halls was so big & there were only benches & narrow tables!! My study went down the drain. No more straight A's, no more distinction student. I even got B's for language subjects, what a shame. Exams were tough, pressure was high, coursemates were not helpful enough. I just graduated like all the rest, no longer as top student. Bad relationship with family members was like adding salt to wounded wound.

Got a job in Pg, work was okay & i lost touch with my major subject. Burden was off my shoulder. Though my first job is nothing to shout about, but at least i'm happy. No more worries, no more course work, no more competition. Life was peaceful, as there was no more commitment too. Until i met someone new.

My life was on roller coaster again. My working attitude changed. Previously, i went to work to pass time & for online chatting only. Now, i had to advance myself :p Haih, wat to do. I can't be lazy for too long. Started to take up more tasks, learn more things & be more competitive. Increment was good but not for long. So far, life is still smooth. On and off there will be cold war, hot war, silent war, silly war, etc. And the rest is history......as you can read from the blog entries below.

Guess the moral of the story?

going, going, gone....

Tuesday, 21Nov - 39days


I just updated the blog with what happened during the weekends. Oh no, i'm getting bored to update this blog everyday now. Ermm....that's what i did with my first blog. I only update it when i feel like pouring my heart out :p Will let it be first for the time being until my writing mood is back :p

virus attack!

Monday, 20Nov - 40days


I was not sleepy nor tired. But damn my fingers! Received a yahoo message from one of my colls. I was tempted to click on the link cos her yahoo status was also set to the link she sent. On second thought, it might be virus. So stupid me, click on the link and out of nowhere, something trigger my yahoo messenger to auto send the link to all the contacts in my yahoo list. Over and over again until i needed to logged out from my yahoo. I restarted my pc thinking maybe it's just a "harmless" link. Iskh!! My IE was corrupted. Yahoo Messenger went nuts. No choice, had to call helpdesk. The agent uninstalled & reinstalled IE for me and cleared the virus. Was so thankful, but the happiness didn't last for very long. I couldn't launch my oracle. No oracle = no work. Called helpdesk again and got Agent#2. He pandai-pandai deleted more softwares until it became worse. Iskh!! Didn't get to talk much with husband-to-be.


Already such a bad day, still went i reached home, ah kim said i confused everybody with the wedding schedule. Haih, dun bother so much. And decided not to go back to ipoh if there is such a big fuss.

boring sunday

Sunday, 19Nov - 41days

Woke up late on everyday sunday at usual time. Nothing interesting too. Bathed, took clothes out to dry, breakfast & CSI marathon. Er yi and family came over almost noon. Oh yeah, something happened, something about relative's wedding dinner arrangement and everybody got confused. I confused everybody it seems, but didn't bother much. Finished CSI marathon at 3pm and went online. It was raining heavily & there was a storm. Decided to disconnect & sleep. Before i went to bed, decided to go online and there i saw husband-to-be online. Was actually not planning to chat with him cos i was sleepy, but we ended up chatting for like 4 hours. It was 4am his time! Chatted about wedding, candies he bought, & i'm waiting for his souvenirs to arrive in next weekend. He'll be back like in another 10-12days. That's fast :p

One of my coursemates went online to talk about my wedding preparation for THEM. I blasted at him & finally they decided to book hotel rooms in case of not enough space to put a night in BW. Good, finally they got the idea! Wow, my mood was so good that night. No more worries, no more bad mood.

productive saturday

Saturday, 18Nov - 42days

Let me quickly recap what happened during the weekend. Woke up early as usual to do some house chores. Ah kim was not around so i had to clean the bathroom & quickly scrub the toilet with the brush. No finger nails was broken in the process. Hung all the clothes and took breakfast. Mopped upstairs and went to quick bath. Borrowed bike from ah kong and off i went to Moral Uplifting building. You know wat, i went nuts. I took a very very big round cos i thought i knew how to get there. Went to Pulau Tikus then to Aurora Court & finally reached Greenlane. I didn't know the way :p To cut the story short, i managed to get to Moral Uplifting building. Asked all the questions i needed to know and the forms to get from which building & booked the date. Before i left, that lady asked me whether i would like to donate to their food charity. Boom!! Paid RM10 for that silly coupon. Our official date to be pronounced as husband and wife is on 23 Dec 2007, 3pm. Hopefully everybody will be free at that time. I like big big company on that day. Any feast after that? RM100++ vegetarian food again? I guess future in-laws are scared of someone now. Paid my credit card bill & cancelled my E magazine subscription. Before i went home, xiao yi called and asked me to ta pao chicken rice for her, ah kong & myself.


Took lunch & went online to chat with (soon-to-be) husband. Told him the official date but my eyes gave up on me, so i went to sleep in the living room after 10mins of chatting. But i didn't sleep until 4pm. Was attracted to this show shown on HBO, "The First Daughter". It's about US president's daughter who longed for freedom from his dad's tight bodyguards. One senior from her college managed to divert her from these bodyguards and finally they fell in love with each other. Unfortunately, this senior is also a disguised bodyguard sent by her dad.
Slept right after the show until xiao yi switched on the light in the living room to sew her blouse...$#@!!!. Couldn't continue my sleep so woke up to iron all my clothes. I forgot wat i did at night but it was definitely something very boring too :p

Branch of Candies



My time (17 Nov 06)




Back from the bored and repeated dinner foods here. A so called Japanese cuisine cooked by Mexican!! what the original man. After dinner went to grocery (Safeway one of carefour like) just near by the restaurant…cold walk “here you can walk like king, car can always stop for you to pass by.. if they didn’t stop the car “what the fcuk” slogan is able for you to shout. At Penang “u nak mati” if you didn’t watch closed to the traffic. This time candies again add 3 more packs to my soon to be (Lou Poh) if you wan that you can request from her but need to see her mood to get one candy:p I don’t dare to request that. So funny to me I seldom and never taken coffee can buy so good Starbuck blend coffee pack..heheh I just like to keep everything nicely “song” to myself to full up our kitchen :p “House Blend-Starbuck” quite favorite here.
Before back from office had called to my mum but she didn’t hang up her hand phone. I think my soon to be (Lou Poh) did that quite sometimes can’t get her:p then I called to home my pa hang up..know already we didn’t talk much like sometimes I keep quite and then he keep quite again. Has confirmed to him about the vege-table and the dish guy do not serve that. So he has to request other outside ppl for only this one table and he has done that. …..the call…then again… after I told I have to go for dinner then we ended the call. This is funny son and father communication. Don’t other then that I still good with him.

This is the first cycle of blog?? I also don’t..i tot it start from our journey so long time ago even we never ever met. Keep it last forever to be others ppl fossil where the can find e-word la :p

I will go to bed early tonite because tomorrow will travel for long distant to Lake Tahoe. One of famous lake at California state.

closure of first blog

Friday, 17Nov - 43days

I'm still in office waiting for sis to complete her work. Friday is the day where everybody comes out to play traffic game called "The Jam". The time now is 6.05pm. We're going to reach ah kong's place after my 7pm Spore series ends. May stop at clinic since sis needs to go for check-up due to lady's sickness symptom. Hope it's nothing serious, we're still very young.

From my place, i could see M & penguin having some serious discussion. Must be the problem J-Ass created. Penguin just shared with me the things that J-Ass just said and did. I dun bother much except feeling sorry for her. Finally passed DD to my rich coll at 2pm+ after waiting for her since 11am++ . She just had a few operations which make exercise difficult for her and she is desperate to loss more weight. She should better follow the diet strictly, i dun want to see reverse effect on her.

The more i type the more i feel that this blog is mine alone :p So from today onwards, i'm only going to pour my thoughts into this blog alone....so bye bye my first blog. My (soon-to-be) husband will be so glad. Anyway, if someone accidentally find into this blog, feel free to read and give comment. And if you're offended, too bad, this blog was not meant to be public in the first place. Only for special people like me & my (soon-to-be) hubby :D :p

durian runtuh

My room - raining

Just now i received unbelievable sms. One of my richest colls sms me on Dr Diet. So i returned her call in office. She is desperate to lose weight to attend a close relative's wedding in overseas and she wants DD as soon as possible. I confirmed with her the amount she wanted. Coincidently, will have to follow sis back today cos ah kim is not free and not working tomorrow . So both sis and i went to Farlim to collect the things that she wanted. To be on the safe side, i called her again when we reached the stokist to confirm. She chg her mind. Luckily i haven't bought any yet. RM600++ you think cheap ar. Anyway while on the back to drop sis at her house, this coll called again asking me to get the stuff and meet up with her tomorrow. So made a U-turn and bought all the stuff that she wanted. Will pass to her tomorrow since she is on MC. We are to meet up either at company guardhouse or go over to her house. Hard to please her but i'll get a profit of 70bucks, what the heck.

Dropped sis at her house and i drove back. Before i reached Chung Ling High Sch, i could see dark clouds hovering Berjaya Hotel. Wind was blowing angrily although the rain has not started. Oh my, i'm still 10mins a way from ah kong's house. Of cos i kept my cool and didn't speed. One driver was kind enough to let me pass successfully at the junction into ah kong's house. That road is a mad road. You need patience & lots of luck to cross the road. Remember to hold on to your mystic knot if you have any. Anyway, so far i've not met with any accident at that deadly junction...touch wood. Once i parked the car, rain started to pour madly. Was in the car and wondering whether or not i should wait for the rain to subside. Anyway, to cut the story short, i dashed out from the kancil with everything in a plastic bag and ran towards ah kong's house. And i was wearing my silver high heels. The heels are still strong. All wet, from top to bottom, but not the things which i need to pass to my coll.

It's raining rather heavy now. As i'm typing this, thinking of my dearest :p Hmm...good thing he is not in his penang room now. Raining + alone = bad. Unless you have a cup of Nescafe with you. One now, one nescafe...hahahaha....

Hmm...i'm in the mood of typing now. Still have 20mins to go before my 9.30pm show starts. 8.30pm show is so boring. In case you wonder, i'm upstairs with Uzap at my waist and the laptop on the chair. Yes, I'm siting on the floor wearing my grey uniform. Cold here too. Oh yeah, ah kim asked us to go for Seafood buffet dinner at Park Royal, RM100 per pax. Food is excellent according to my colls. But RM100. Dear ar dear, luckily you're not back yet at that time. Mum decided not to go since so expensive. She sim tia we have to pay so much also ah kim has RM600 coupon. So i think the plan is Low's clan go without Lim's family. In case you still dunno, Low's clan know how to enjoy life very much except mum. She rather die for us than to pamper herself with good food, good clothes & holiday trip. There was once when she actually gave up her China trip and trade it for the set of sofa in our ipoh house. The previous sofa was destroyed by cousinsssssss. That's also the reason she is reluctant to leave the set of sofa behind when she moves to Pg next year.

My (soon-to-be) husband always ask me this question, who is the most important person in my heart. Tough to decide leh. It depends on situation also mah. Before marriage, surely the most important persons are my parents then you. After marriage, definitely will be you, if not tell me who else. But after give birth to kids, dunno liao :p Can assure you, i put you all before myself. Want to know who will i save if my dad/mum, you and i fall into the sea? Answer is i'll drown together with you all and we shall meet in heaven :D

My show is going to start in 10mins. Must get ready to brush teeth and keep the Uzap & laptop. Actually eyes very sleepy now but still wants to watch the doctors chinese series. You say die or not?

!!!!

I'm steamed, pissed off, irritated, annoyed ( all the vocabulary to describe anger). At first nobody was willing to drive. In the end people are trying to get more passengers into their cars. You and i know very well why they want more people to car-pool. As if it's my fault for not telling them who drive and who dun. Since the beginning of last month, i was chasing after people frantically to confirm attendance for my wedding. Good thing i didn't beg them. Famous questions were, how to get there & where to stay. Only 2-3 volunteered to drive. One driver even willing to go back to Ipoh after the dinner if the rooms are not enough, so touched. But now, the problem is too many drivers?? Idiot!! I didn't arrange who to come with who. I dun even care how they come as long as they confirm before coming. @#!#%#*&&^%!!!!!!!!!! Becos of them i have to forgo so many other frens in Penang. May them go and rot in Hell!

our wedding card



too many guests

Thursday, 16Nov - 44days

Poor him. Must be facing a lot of trouble from his boss & his soon-to-be lou poh. Nevermind 2 more weeks. Think on the bright side. You'll only need to hear their voices now. But when you're back, you have to FACE them all :p

I decided to help out with the wordings on the stage. But (soon-to-be) husband wants to pass the job to his fren. I wonder has he sent mail to the fren. Not going to add more pressure on him. I hope i get to go to Popular Bookstore tomorrow to hunt for the polystrene, survey the price actually.

Team building was so-so. Good food but the price per person was rather high, RM50 per pax. Organizer booked for 100 pax but only about 70 turned up. Food wasted & the grand ballroom was not even full. We had BBQ Lamb, Shrimp Soup, Spicy & Sour fish curry, boneless chicken rendang, veggies, fried mee, prawns, lobak, salad, rojak, fruits, kuih & more cakes. Overall was good except rojak was too hot. We started at 6pm and i reached home before 8pm, fast huh. On the way back, saw the grandpa and all just went out for dinner at Northam. They too had sumptuous dinner including RM150 fish. Grandpa seemed to enjoy the dinner very much. While they were away, i went online to scan the wedding card. Unfortunately, no software installed, so took pic of it instead. Turned out bad but didn't bother much and sent to PDL coursemates. And also (soon-to-be) husband.

I have 25 coursemates coming to the wedding & 1.5 tables for Penang frens. oh dear, this means i have to cut off tables for colls. Darn... no choice. Good thing the cards are still in my office drawer. Patience is good.

Upset stomach now. Dunno due to the food or mensus... :( Hey, my face is shiner now. Is it due to the amount of nutrients i feed to my face or it's getting rounder??

Cold and Tired

My time (US 14 Nov)

Just finish chatting with my soon to be (Lou Poh). Nothing to talk much. She is worry for her new assign work role that may or may not to this new department where I'm working now. Shouldn't be so worry most of the work is only dealing with NPI stuff. But anyway if really can discuss to her boss i think is better :p

Yeah i think if possible to do some decoration to the hall when time is ok to me. Actually i have asked one of my last x-colls to help me draft out some drawing in words... i think KG and Cynthia...probably i will write him a message to see how. hehehe... i think i should give this as a suprise but then my soon to be (Loh Poh) know liao no fun.

ZZZzzzz,,, tired really tired today lot of work and lot of design change and modification work to be done. have some discussion to boss he keep yelling me to back early and continue other project!!! what man asked me to come as schedule is you, asked me to go back early also u..devil!!! i dun think fun training here...a big resposibility you need to hold if you are good you will be hero, as if fail kill youself b4 back.

Very cold rite now cover up all the blanket still feel like air-cond...

good news is not so good anymore

Weds, 15Nov - 45days

Grandpa volunteered to buy me more stamps. Problem settled. He will also help me to post all the cards today. Yipeee. Tonight will prepare another batch of cards to be sent. We're going for our company team building at 6pm, so will be leaving office early today. Can't wait to leave for good food. Weighed myself last night, either the weighing machine is spoilt or my weight is still the same.

Aiyo, penguin just spoke to me. M suggested that i'll be the best candidate to take up a new task. I think must be the impression that i give them...too free, that's i'm always creating trouble for penguin :p But this trouble creating task has been taken up by a chocolate-skinned coll, let's call her J-Ass. She is the worse lady in my dept. About 3 yrs ago, she told me that she is slimmer than i was. Her arms were not as flabby as mine. Her face was round cos she always massaged her face. Oh please, stop the nonsense. Round face = fat. You dun need to massage your face to make it round. All you need is to eat more. No common sense. Surprisingly, now i could see her body expanding. Must be way tooooooo much exercise (not to mention massage) & her "muscles" are building up....haha. Serves her right. May her "muscles" keep growing. She is a tin kosing by the way. Latest news, she told penguin that she feels vomitish just by looking at penguin's face. Siao char bo.

Okay, back to bad news. Penguin didn't tell me which dept i'm going to take care of, but it's so obvious. There is only one new dept being setup this year - (soon-to-be) husband's. I dun want to work with him. I dun wish to. If i make any mistake, he & i will be doomed. Nightmare nightmare. Already in the same company & same building, still need to work together? Ang kong, please dun make things worse.

i need stamps

Finally gotten another 4 stamps from AL. Need more cos total stamps needed are 10 pieces of 30sen & 1 piece of 50sen. Luckily got free envelopes from sis. Very troublesome but not until i finished distributing the cards. Will continue the card distribution tommorow. To date i've only given cards to 3 persons. AL asked me why am i getting married so soon. I dun have an exact answer for that question. I guess it's all about mutual understanding.

Just now i asked for an address from a guy friend as i wanted to send him the card. He insisted i send to Spore address rather than Ipoh address. Not as if he wants to keep the card. He is the person who starts this stupid card distribution nonsense. If not for him, i could just scan the card and send to all. Of cos i won in the end, he still have to give me his ipoh address. Total cards to be sent in KL & Ipoh = 10 while 1 card to be sent to Spore (LS).

I'm glad that the tables are finally booked and the price is finalized. I do hope there will be no price increase. Money is rather limited as i do not wish to see more money spent on wedding ceremony. People say it's once in a lifetime event. Yeah rite, I dun even bother. As long as everything is within budget and everybody is happy, that is true happiness. Last time, i used to dream about fairytale wedding. Smoke everywhere, white wedding. But as i'm getting older (not to mention more mature) practicality is the first thing that comes on my mind. Practicality doesn't equal to kiam siap-ness. I know we sure can afford grand wedding, but it's merely a show to the guests and burn a hole in the pocket. Some people even have wedding theme with some fanciful names. Our wedding will only have one theme: simple & nice :)

Reservation for Table

My time US (13Nov '06)

Today I really missed out my alarm clock when the time was 815am, suppose I have to wake up at 715am in the morning. Was rushing and didn't take any breakfast for work. Life at here quite funny...freedom and open minded country you can free to speak out anything provided you have the right. Yeah almost I leave my be love soon to be (Lou Poh) one month..thinking on the first day i reached here everything nervous to me especially at the US custom center i pissed off like hell..till i speakless and the officer just trying to notice me i couldnt know english..shame am i.?! Second was the time i waited at the terminal for flight to San Jose..suddenly i hear some argument from one of the passenger who missed out her flight because of the terminal change. and she didn't notice and she kept waiting at the different terminal... shit am i turn to blur as same case to her....worry worry and ask many times to confirm...hate it.

the list

Tuesday, 14Nov - 46 days

Yesterday night was spent going around grandpa's housing area to look for envelopes & stamps. Stopped at 2 mini markets near Free Sch. Couldn't find the envelopes i wanted from the first shop. Proceeded to 2nd shop. The owner was trying to be cheeky. I asked for stamps but they dun sell it, so i asked another silly question - where could i get some stamps. Her answer was probably as good as your guess. Rode the bike to P.Ramlee road and found another mini market. Also no red envelopes & stamps. Gave up and went home. 3rd cousin was not at home and big possibility that he will call home for transport. So i went to surf on net for the postage rate to send a card internationally. RM1.XX per postage. Wow, but no choice cos they demanded for cards to be sent. Will try to go to Post Office this Saturday or start to beg for stamps from people i know. First choice would be a better one.

Drove cousin to tuition. Surprisingly the roads were clear and the journey was smooth. Less than 5mins, he called telling me the tuition was cancelled. So had to make a U-turn to fetch him home.
Started to fill the names on the cards. Before that, was already thinking hard whether or not i should give up my colls for his. Hmm...both have about 25 colls each, which means at least 3 tables. My frens already confirmed on 3 tables and i have 3 tables left only. Oh dear. Nevermind, will pass the decision making to (soon-to-be) husband. Let him crack his head :p

This morning distributed one card to MN. Later will pass another card to Auntie GL. Both are the people whom we know since we were very very young.

another heated conversation

Monday, 13Nov - 48days

The (soon-to-be) husband drew the map from Ipoh to our wedding dinner place. 11pages of map, snapshots from Google Earth. I know it's not easy to prepare the map. So i sent his masterpiece to 3 of my friends. Comments received were it's too complicated, it's cool, too many pages. Well, enough said and i dun have to contribute my opinion. But for me, the map looks fine & detail enough. But if you're not used to reading a map, it's kind of confusing. Before this map conversation, i had a stressful phone conversation with the dowager (my mum) over her plan to renovate her new apt. And her stupid phone was so annoying, i practically have to shout over the phone before she could listen to me. Darn, there goes my mood. Maybe it's the way i phrased my sentences when i chatted with him online. Again, our conversation ended in unpleasant way. Here is one of the snapshots. Isn't he a genius?






But i think we need to settle with this:



Sunday, 12Nov - 49days

On the way back from Alor Star, dropped ah kim and cousin at er yi's house where cousin and i started our journey back to Penang. Before that i collected my wedding invitation card from (future) in-laws. The cards look typical.


Right after reached home, i went online to tell (soon-to-be) hubby about my weekend. We talked on Skype for like 2hours+ until both of us were tired. It was 3am his time.
I'm debating, should i start distributing the cards now or in Dec.

self indulgence

Saturday, 11Nov - 50 days

Woke up quite late cos went online until 2am. Finished house chores and followed ah kim out to shop. First place we went to was Prangin. There was arguement between ah kim & the car wash attendant, not going to elaborate here. While in Prangin, we went separate ways and to meet up once she is ready. I stopped by at Body Shop, no sale. Went to Chameleon to buy new ear rings but couldn't find any nice pairs. Ah kim called and i joined her for brunch. Lunch at Wong Kok was expensive and the food was not too good. After settled the things she wanted to do, off we went back to grandpa's house to drop cousin before we continued to Gurney Plaza. It was one month ago since i stepped into Gurney Plaza. Nothing changed. Ah kim bought a RM3k+ worth of exercising machine, while i bought..hehehe...Lo Hong Ka bird's nest for myself :p On the way out from Cold Storage, we saw an ang moh family. Apparently the baby angmoh walked towards the candy shelves and accidentally spilled almost all the candy from a candy container at Famous Amos. The angmoh dad had to pay for it. Must be pretty expensive. *phew*.

Stopped for high tea at Trader's. First time to experience an english tea set. Good food but not worth the price. Decided to follow ah kim to Alor Star.

the start

Friday, 10Nov - 51 days

Decided to start a blog for both of us today. Start to countdown my special date. The (soon-to-be) husband still stranded in a land far far away while i'm here alone. I'm trying to make guest checklist & things i'm supposed to do. Seriously i'm feeling too free now. I guess all the important things are being handled well by both parents & (future) in-laws. I look at my guest list over and over again to filter those who i really want to invite and those who are in my ok list. It's so hard to get confirmation from my guests. One of the stupidiest answer i've ever heard was to follow the majority, all come i come, all dun come i dun come. What kind of nonsense! I better dun get started on that topic. It really pissed me off. They will know how i feel when it's their turn. Anyway, MIL (mum-in-law) called to inform me about the invitation card. I'll have to get the card from her. Another trouble. I need to borrow a car or find someone to fetch me to bworth to get the cards. If only (soon-to-be) hubby is here now.....
