coffee & pistachio makes a happy me

So.... I didn't sleep beginning from 1 till now.. whee~

On coffee high actually... sipped on Hotpant's coffee when I singgah to tapau da piping hot java for maself and da coffee-holic Pistachio.

Happy Pistachio baked a butter cake for us in lab today.. delish!

And look what she gave me!!

It's actually a three-layered pork phone accessory~
Hee hee hee.... so happieee~

wuv you to bits....

Sothepenatday

Iamsothepenat.

Still penat-ing. Fell into deep slumber around 10 only to be serang hendap by so many freaking messages.

The reason why I'm still up at this ungodly hour. Traumatized. by. the. phone.

Until i cannot sleep already.

Kasian la me... start lab pulak 8, habis lab oso friggin OT, after 6++ then immediately rushed the lassie to the bus station and bade her farewell.

If you're 1 of those who messaged me & didn't get a reply, i do apologize. If you're luckier & got one, albeit it's unusually short and curt, i apologize too. Sorry... I was really exhausted.

Opted to take a bus back from zat smoky city centre so I could take in ze view. Money well spent. Love the traffic jam, because I got to ogle at all the Xmas deco kat hotel la, jalan la, blablabla ( in super power England dipinjam dari Latino, "et cetera") ....

50 cents nia the tambang. Got super cute makcik for that Metro bus conductor. She having a passenger head count tug-of-war with the SJ company. Made me chuckled endlessly. She boomed loudly, "Metro mane boleh kalah pada SJ, mari mari tolong diri rapat sikit! Kita kena bawak wamai sikit...."

hmmm... i love her positive outlook on things. And she super obliging lor. People ask her, "Can I stop somewhere so & so?" Apparently somewhere deserted la... She replied cool like a cucumber, cam da enterprising owang muda skawang... "Nak henti mane pun boleh, naik bas ni je... kite mane mane pun boleh henti" Salute sia..

I think I should get back to sleep. If not, I will start to get restless and produce another batch of reindeer droppings like last night. But given my condition now, I doubt I will make it even to my room door. Btw, I tested the reindeer dropping and it was not bad actually. Miss the 2 monkeys who were bising-ing till I kenot sleep sampai 3 a.m. yesterday la. Tonight I home alone.. sunyi sia...

nobody to bug me and teman me make the reindeer droppings.. sigh..

Beautiful ending

I couldn't have had a better day..

Even though the day's been rough, a bundle of surprises awaited me at the end of it..

Chong, one of the most resilient friend I've ever known, dropped by the Esso in front of campus with the Cruisers of a local radio station for duty calls. I almost teared when i saw him because I missed him so much. We haven't really catch up since his birthday last August. It's great to see him settled down comfortably with that radio station job now.

Cuzzy dearest treated me to a most scrumptious dinner at Vietnam Kitchen even though he spent the whole day waiting for me to finish my tasks. It's been hard on you, cuzzy.. especially when it's your day off. Thank you so much~

Back at Leisure Mall, I met Chel, and so many of my dear friends whom I haven't seen for half a year. Most have switched jobs, though some still remained at our old workplace. Chel looks ravishing... as usual. Tee hee hee... Abang Halim even offered to treat me sushi. Mami Becky was there, and I couldn't stay later. I don't wanna make cuzz wait for me.

Secret Recipe Berry was flirty as usual when I complimented him of looking great. It's just mind blowing to see everyone again... though I never could stand his flirting. lolx. Ayang Shah & Nadia are both at Watson's now. And I heard my darling Syikin's working at Guardian. Goodness... how I wish I was back at Segar again.. where lunch would be at Awie, breaks with Chel at her fave bubble tea stall, visit Ayang at the burger stall at night.. fooling around with Noria, Epul & Aini..

Those were the good ol' days of yesteryear... geez.. I miss you people, I miss temping...

I'm gonna bawl... sheeesh..

Anime, K-Movie, J-movie....

Just finished watching Innocent Steps. Tear-jerker...*sniffs* but i adore it.. hee..

Am currently up in my nose with Tactics, ep. 9. I love yaoi~ ahahaha... that so-near-yet-so-far relationship between Haruka & Kan-chan... *smitten smitten smitten*

Meanwhile am downloading a software just for watching "Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru", loosely translated as 'I'm in love with my little sister'. Sounds tragic. I'm sure it's a beautiful story, the trailer had me transfixed...

Oh the sin of me ignoring my paperwork and getting embroiled in all these gripping tales..

Gradh Geal Mo Chridh'

~*~*~*Tender memories*~*~*~

Ethereal...
it wasn't a dream..

Noir came...

* Irregardless of who we love, it is the capability to love that matters... *
*Unknown*

Undeniably true,
When i lost the ability to even love myself,
you were the one who taught me how to live, laugh & love.. again.

"I am capable of loving,
because of you....

And because of loving,
I got the closest glimpse I've ever had of eternity."

Though these may not be wholly original from me, mo chridh' is in each word.

Je t'aime..
mo gradh.... mo cushle...

Saturday muse

Am I feeling happy?

The answer therein can't be as positive as
Is the sky blue? Is the grass green? Does the world revolve around an axis?

Couldn't recall when was the last Saturday that I'd get to spend all to myself. It's a little luxury that comes once in a blue moon, and I truly cherish it. Only thing marred by the early morning lab session. Well, I'm not about to complain. I still think it's a gorgeous day. After some minor nitty gritty work in the early morn, it's comforting to come home to that cosy lil den where I just lazed the whole day away.

Spent the day net surfing, reading blogs of friends and strangers & checking out innumerous delectable recipes. Totally soaking myself up in jolly Christmas mood with the CD player belting out familiar ol' Christmas carols one after 'nuther.... My room does lend an air of wintery feel as it is uncannily chilly the whole day, to my unexpected delight. Gazing dreamily at the windows while cuddling snugly under my blankie, I half expected to see Jack Frost frosting away.. :)

A heavy lunch of Shin Ramyun lulled me to dreamland without a hitch in just...... moments. The noodles tasted utterly divine, the hot and spicy soup teased my palate and warmed up every nook in my body... aaahh, how toasty can one get...?

Still can't decide what's the next thing to do. I've got the options to either start on my e-book, pamper myself with a soothing mask, or get my hands dirty with my Christmas project. =)

Love... Hate

Darn. I hate food blogs.

Especially when I'm famished.

They make me ravenous.

Gotta check out FatBoy.

Too hungry.

Had to fry meself a wobbly egg to ease the slot.

Downloaded 2 e-books yesterday.

*runs around in circles with joy... bath towel trailing behind*

Black + Purple + Red =

3 sampat pohs with brollies

Purple asks... will people with rain-soaked heads get sick?
Red doesn't think so.. because Red is always wet after shower. Before bed.
Black says they will. When they're old.

Black asks.. why can't we open brollies indoor?
Purple says... she doesn't know.
Red says... rumour has it a ghost will follow you home.
Black says.. erm. We just opened our brollies.

Emo-ing

I have so much to pour into the blog, but I just don't feel secure writing in my own space anymore. I love blogging my thoughts and day-to-day happenings in life. I do not expect people to read them except friends who drop by from time to time. I certainly do not expect people to see in my light of what I write because you belong to your ownself and are entitled to have your own mind about how things should be. Somehow, I feel that my personal space has been intruded. A blog is rather personal even though it's opened for view by just about anybody. I welcome readers, unfortunately not people with malicious intent. Comments are welcomed, but let it be one of constructive purpose.

I'm being pulled into the disillusionment of life lately. Tired of being nice and energetic all the time and giving my best. Was just pondering whether I should go back to being moody and emotional but bah.... those were yesterday's baggage that I'd made up my mind not to get embroiled in again as long as I'm able to. Emo-ing... mostly because I'm not really pleased with Gauisus. Put it shortly: Company enjoyed, but I wish for some selflessness. I know I'm not supposed to expect anything in return for the effort that I'd put in to get to the stage today. Nonetheless as human, I crave for some selfless acts from you sometimes. Nuff said.

Darn the emo-ness. Must. control. my. mood.

Lovely day...

...............

but I can't go out and play.

*sigh*

to think the day's so bright and sunny..

and the wind's absolutely gorgeous!

Wish I was out there in nature somewhere instead of the lab.

What a waste....

*frustrated*

Bush fire

Bush fire next to Seremban highway, emitting gray smoke.
Pic caught around 4++ going on 5pm today.

Otai rocks!

After getting my ticket to head back to BP last Friday, I had half an hour to spare before boarding the bus. My lazy arse badly wanted to plonk down on a bench but it so happened that none are available. Thus, I ambled around pretty aimlessly.

I suddenly remembered that there was a burger stall tucked snugly at a deep corner of the station. I wasn't hungry, not even peckish.. but I just had a strong urge to check it out, as if some force was calling out to me.

As I encroached nearer & nearer, I GASPED in utter disbelief...


It can't be! The burger that I'd been searching high and low for was just right under my nose all these while!



It was sheer ecstasy for me to stumble upon the Otai burger that I'd heard so much of! It was rumoured to taste better than Ramly's.

Lookie... they have em own uniforms..
(Guys in uniforms are cute.. ahaha~
noo.. i have no uniform fetish!)

Unable to contain my excitement, I ordered a normal chicken burger even though I was still feeling stuffed from the dinner I grabbed in a rush before speeding to the station.

Otai ketchup & chili sauce... how cool can they get?


Piping hot Otai burger in my quivering hands....

Looks can be deceiving!

Verdict:

Lightly toasted soft bun with just a hint of buttery fragrance, none too overwhelming and off-puting! A generous patty with sizeable thickness still oozing juice as I chomped down the chow (gotta give the boy cedit for his grilling skills)! Love the barbecue-ish aroma that permeates my olfactory sense as I take each bite.. Generous servings of shredded cabbage and juicy tomato slices accompanied by tangy mayo!

Thumbs & toes up for Otai! Sorry Ramly.. I'm an Otai convert now! Do give it a test if you're nearby the Pudu bus station or Plaza Rakyat as it is known. Who knows you might join the legion of Otai aficionados too! hehehe! Cheers!

P/S: These 2 abangs are rather pleasant & friendly. Add another star to that!
