Say No! to Fast Food

Nooooooooo!

Whatever effort the government, the people, the world are doing to discourage kids, youths, humanity from the 'obesitisers' is definitely not working.

Hiyalish Lesson No.1
Obesitiser - a genre of food, particularly fast food. *yummy, tasty food* that encourages obesity.
End of Hiyalish Lesson No.1

I get to decide what's for lunch today! And of course, Italiano!! Well, the closest and more affordable thing to it -> Pizza ♥ *hearts*!

Got a treat from sis for tea time. And when sis is in-charge, it's none other than... McDonalds!

Last but not least. Dinner was on dad! *coughs* Okay, you'll probably know what's for dinner anyway. But... *drums roll* KFC... *sings* that's where I want to be!

Ah... *frowns*

To be or not to be...

Met up with Ms C³ last week. Aww... miss her so so much. It's been months since I last saw her. Since graduation. Uwahh.. friends!

Anyway, the first proper conversation after all the "hey!!", "miss you so much", "how are you?", "fine, fine" was...

Ms C³: You've gone thinner, didn't you?
Me : *blushes yet secretly beaming inside* Well... I guess I did. A little.
Ms C³: 'cos your head looks bigger.

-____-;;;

It's been a loooooong time since I got commented *ahem* for my big head. The very first person who calls me "big head" was my grandpa, back when I was just a little girl. Hah, he must be wondering why his very first granddaughter looks like E.T when I was born. Prematured by just a wee few days, I was born just over 5 pauns. Tiny. My guess was the weight mostly comes from my biggy head. Hahaha..

Mind you, it's slightly bigger compared to an average head but it's not exactly the biggest head either. And heyo, I am dang proud of it. Biggy head got me to where I am today. And no, it's not the circus. =P

My main concern now is am I doomed not to be thin so that my head looks more proportionate with my body. Ahh... the dilemma.

There's a bomb! Boo!

This was not what I intended to blog about initially but come on, a bomb threat in Malaysia? in Penang? That's a BIG DEAL that overwrites the insignificant me. *shrinks*

I got a sms from dad around 6pm that reads...

"try come back earlier. Penang Bridge is closed."

*blinks*

Why close? Come back early? I would love to do that, but there's always this lingering feeling of the work that awaits me tomorrow everyday I step out of the office. -.-;; Thus, I replied...

"I try. :("

Awww... I left around 6.30pm, already in a "not happy" mood. Mind you, I'm not sad, just not very happy. Obviously it won't get any better when you're all squeezed up in a bus full of people, man, foreigners, sweat! Argh... who on the right mind stands back facing the direction the bus is moving! Every time the bus makes a sudden stop, breaaaaak.... the man looses his balance and falls backwards. Duh! *rolls eyes* It's hard enough to maintain your balance with that little space left standing and not having reachable reels to hold on to, so stop make matters worst. *grumbles* Luckily, Mr Metro Security Guard was a kind man, "pegang... hati-hati, nanti jatuh." and offered me a little more space of the reel to hold on to.

It became frustrating again when we reached one of the main stops where most passengers get down. The bus is not gonna buzz away immediately, I'll give way to let you go down, relax will ya? The bus haven't even come to a total stop, Mr Rush was already attempting to push his way out. I use the word "attempting" because he didn't get anywhere with the pushing okay? There was no place to move, unless he plans to push someone out of the bus by force. *swts*

After Mr Rush and all others got down, I went back up the bus and enjoy a comfortable seat. Okay, here's where we get back to the part of the bomb threat. It was now 7.05pm and we're moving again, towards the ferry terminal. The bus never got there though. At 7.10pm we were in front of Convent Light Street's school field. Almost 20 minutes later, we're at the front gate of the school! That's it! At this rate, I'll reach the terminal at 9.00pm! -.-;;

This calls for a plan! Mdm Take Charge well like what I call her, took charge. Hahaha... she said to the bus driver "Dik, gunalah jalan lain. Ikut lorong kecil." and she guided the bus driver. Woo-hoo! All hail Mdm Take Charge. We didn't exactly got to the terminal but we made it nearer, reasonable walking distance. And from there, it was Ekspidisi Jalan Kaki. Hah, all the cars were practically glued to the road. We were literally walking in the middle of the big wide road with a big wide grin.

Got on the ferry. Reach the other side. Here comes another chaos. It was almost just as bad. Dad can't even come in to fetch me and so I walked out to him. Miscommunicated in the process and both me and dad got frustrated. I was once again, in the middle of a big wide road, this time without the big wide grin on my face. I reached home?

Almost 9.00pm!

Two and a Half hours? I could have gone to Ipoh and have a bowl of "kai xi hor fan" already!

Ate dinner, spend 15 minutes of family time watching travelogue on tv, took a bath, online, type this long whiny rant and guess what?

It's time for bed! Urgh.

Good night!

It's in the stars!

My phone credit expired last Saturday. Without credit...

phone = useless

Well, it still tells the time but I have my watch for that.

I rarely make calls except for the sms "I'm on the ferry now." to my dad. Sometimes I add a smiley :) after the message if I'm in a happy mood returning from work. Fortunately the smiley appears very often. Hey, good food awaits me at the other end, who wouldn't be happy? I admit I'm a food-driven person. Anyway, 10 minutes later I'll give him a miss call indicating I'm arriving soon and he can come pick me up. It's a daily routine that I usually get the timing pretty right.

Okay, the point is. This is not the problem when you have expired credit because there's "Call-Me-Back", a service Hotlink@Maxis has, which I'm not too sure about others since I've been coded 012 since I got my very first phone 5 years ago. I won't say Hotlink is the best but I'm a loyal person *bows* or silly? *shrugs* So, I just have my dad call me back instead.

So, what's the problem then? And after 3 paragraphs, there's nothing about stars. Why that title for this post?

I'm long-winded and I'm sorry. Bare with me, I'm getting there.

The other way I spend most of my credit is on my daily horoscope and zodiac readings. Hey, I’m no believer but I fancy the words they use in their very short and amusing messages. This is another daily routine I do every morning, also on the ferry, this time on my way to work instead. It prepares me. It guides me. It gives me hints about the day ahead. Hah, I still insist I’m not a real believer but it’s damn amusing. I personally love the zodiac reading – Rat.

Here’s some examples I keep in my little phone till today. One day I am gonna exceed my phone memory with these stuff.

24/03/07 Rat
Often, great rewards come at an exacting price. Indeed in matters of the heart, one must prove one’s affections and toil to have them reciprocated.

21/03/07 Rat
Obstacles will be like a pebble in the sandal, a minor discomfort easily dealt with today. Indeed it will prove to be a most auspicious day for the Rat.

13/03/07 Rat
Seek out the library and the wisdom of old Rats and there you will find the answer to your conundrum. Ask, Rat and the answer will be presented to you.

Honestly, how cool are these?

This was the very first one that I kept till today. Dated last year.

19/10/06 Rat
Any arrogance will be most unforgivingly punished today. The emperor will seek humbled intelligence, thus clothe your wisdom in a robe of humility.

Clothe wisdom in a robe of humility? Whoever is writing these stuff, can you teach me to write like this?

Thus, 4 days without guidance from the stars, I felt lost. I felt I'm missing an important daily lesson. But all hope is not lost, I've since updated my credit and getting my daily dose of guidance again.

01/04/07 Rat
Few can better you at that which you excel at Rat. Those who come in search of conquering you and your territory will be easily and quickly rebuffed.

Ah, the way of the Rat has been found yet again.
