Anthony Bourdain made my day

On today's Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations.

Place of visit:
Osaka, Japan.
Host:
Two Young Japanese Comedians.
Scene:
Walking down the streets of Osaka.

Bourdain : Who are these people? *points to posters everywhere*
Host No.1 : These are famous people.
Host No.2 : Go get a haircut like them.

And that had just made my day! Of all shows in which KAT-TUN and Yamapi made an appearance! A show on Travel and Living about FOOD!

Yup, They ARE Famous People after all!

The power of leng chai

Went shopping with mom at Carrefour this afternoon.
Sunday Afternoon Shopping + Chinese New Year Coming Soon = Chaos!
So basically after 3 hours, I was on the verge of scolding everyone who is walking in front of me... very slowly. With frustration plastered on my face, my mom realised it's time to go home.

Paid a visit to the magazine store while waiting for my dad to arrive.
Overhead a conversation of a Malay couple.

Lady (points to a magazine): Bang, ni lah drama yang ditayang pukul 7 tu.
*note: The drama is a taiwanese drama called "Silence" starring *cough cough* Zai Zai ... one of the guy from F4.*

Man (sees and nods)

Lady: Bang, potonglah rambut macam dia.

Man: -__-;;

Me? That just made all my frustration go away. The guy was a normal decent looking guy with typical simple haircut and wears glasses, your typical nice guy. Ah... the power of "leng chai". Not that I'm a big fan of Zai Zai... hahaha..

Oh ya. On a side note, we went home with one plastic bag containing 4 items. Hahaha... after over 3 hours of shopping! Looks like I shall meet Chaos next weekend again.

All the way from Japan!

They've arrived!! *beams happily*

Behold!

The parcel! ^_^

From Japan!! Fragile!

My Precious!

Hahaha... they arrived! They actually did. Money aside, I kinda did it just to try it out. My first online purchase! All the way from Japan!! Woohooo!

*dances around*

Cheers to a new year!

2007! Yatta!

Ignoring the fact I'm 3 days late.
Ignoring the fact the connection is still sucky that I can't get this up earlier.
Ignoring the fact that if I really really wanted to, nothing would have stop me.

Enjoying the fact that a new year has arrived.
Enjoying the fact a cup that says Carlsberg is not necessarily alcohol.
Enjoying what I believe it's a challenging year ahead.

Accepting the fact that it's all depending on me now.

Hiyashi - Happy New Year!

Updating Marathon Mode

Topic No.1 - TangYuan
I promised S.Yee I'll put her mama's special "kam pou tong yuen" up on my blog. Usually you'll find these stuff round in shape, either have it big or small, with or without filling, dark coloured ginger taste soup or sweet syrup. These however, are very special tong yuen wish I'm glad I've eaten one. Another colleague keep making fun, saying every one signifies one year, by eating one you'll grow a year older. *shrugs* If that's the case I'll be an old old lady then. That's right, I ate lots of them. So be it! To a new year of great prosperity!

Ta-da! One normal typical boring tongyuen and one oh so special!

Zoom In! Looks like abalone no? An artificial one though. *snickers*

Topic No.2 - Jacket
In response to Hanako-bachan's shopping spree at MNG. Here's my jacket instead. Wee..

I love my jacket! Though I rarely wears it... It's unofficially a Maru Jacket as well... haha..

Topic No.3 - Winter time in Malaysia
Yup, it's colder than usual and it's pouring! Too bad it's not nice white little snowflakes but big fat raindrops. Floods, gah... in Johor of all places. Do hope Fangy-kun is doing fine and Lem-san is not all soaking wet travelling to work everyday, not that I'm any better.

Yup, that's Snoopy cycling happily under the heavy rain outside and Garfield is standing there trying to hitch a ride.

*shrugs* Stickers on my dad's car. Hahaha.. my mom believes putting stickers indirectly show this as a family car thus, lessen the possibility of being aimed by car thieves. Maybe it does help? *touch wood*

Okies, I have more to blog. My phone memory is full with the photos I've been taking and the lack of motivation of blogging about them. So if I'm motivated enough tonight, I'll do another post! *_*

Stepping on people's shoes

They always say "Put yourself in another's shoes" and you'll understand them better. I say "step on their shoes" to make them understand you better. Well, it's rude I know and I swear I didn't do it on purpose. It's always a rush after the ferry arrived at the port and everyone, well not exactly everyone... most people rushes out trying to make it in time for the bus or in my case make sure I arrived earlier than my dad so that I don't keep him waiting. Unfortunately not everyone is in a hurry and well the girl in front of me was taking her own sweet time 'strolling' along with the rest of us. Thus, I ACCIDENTALLY stepped on the back of her shoe which I am truly sorry *bows* However, guess what? She got the hint and walked faster, so much faster that she even went ahead a few people that was initially in front of her.

To the girl who I accidentally stepped on your shoe, I'm truly sorry but I'm glad you pick up the speed after that.

On a side note, my Internet Explorer is giving me problems, it hangs and I have to force quit it. I'm not too sure if it's the new version is not stable or it's me who did something to it. I can't seem to find any evil stuff lurking in my computer. What am I to do?

In case this poor blog doesn't get an update before Christmas.

Merry Christmas 2006!

I do not want this to turn into a monthly blog

Therefore, I shall make myself post more this coming month *determines*

Penang has been wet, wet, wet. It's not very amusing to come home soaking wet every day. A little sprinkle on oneself is nice once in a while, if you know how to appreciate it. However, like many things in life, it gets less appreciative and "nice" if you keep getting it day after day. The worst case was probably two thursdays ago. It rained... I know that's no big deal... but it rained and you are not allowed to open your umbrella. -.-;; Not if you don't want to be blown away with it, and get a new umbrella the next day. I was on the ferry with a whole bunch of other equally unfortunate people and this is how the ferry look like...

No.. I'm not lying. We were all there... there in one corner of the ferry, attempting to hide from the rain. Note the word "attempting" cause it didn't actually work, no thanks to the wind. Hmm... it's actually a very nice photo though. =P

It was an experience. It certainly was.
