It’s so hard.. scratch that, it’s bloody hot! February, last month, was supposed to be the hottest and driest month ever in years but I beg to differ. It is much hotter now in JB than it was a few weeks back. Ice Kacang, Cendol, Bubble Tea and Ice Cream sellers will be smiling right now as another heat beaten customer orders up those chilly drinks to quench the thirst.

I myself is equipped with a huge bottle of Ice Milk Tea on my left and Gendang Kasturi (kuih) on my left. I had planned earlier to bake Chocolate Cake with Ganache but after after the heat beating at my back, I’d rather make ice jelly fruit cocktail.

I’m not sure of the exact temperature outside but I’m very sure that my clothes which I hung out to dry was dried after 2 hours (clothes consist of 2pairs of jeans, comforter, bed linens etc). I could feel the scorching heat every time I stepped outside of my house. It’s much more cooler to stay in the house or air-con malls than be outside.

Oh yeah, went to Tesco Bukit Indah again today. Bought rice there, much cheaper from those in Hwa Thai and other places. The throng of people looked menacing but the que at the Tesco Hypermarket itself was very much controllable and I can happily say that it is a breezy affair.

The large space area is not wasted and it is filled up with various shops. There are Fabiano Ricco (they are everywhere these days), Amly, Watson, KFC and other shops which I can’t really remember since the crowd of shoppers jostled me at every moment.

I’m glad Tesco is finally in Bukit Indah as I am an avid fan of them. They have such a large variety of items and groceries at very much discounted price and I really love their Tesco Choice products. Those products are very good quality and is priced at relatively cheap price.

Finally it is Friday! Tomorrow is my most welcomed and beloved day, SATURDAY!! I can finally relax and enjoy after office hours that is. But I can’t wipe the smile off my face today and can’t wait for tomorrow.

I’m waiting anxiously for my PO from a customer and a payment from another project which I had successfully clinched within today. In fact, both of the sales have been successfully closed today. All my hardwork has been paid off.

I am so going to enjoy my big fat pay check from my boss and going to splurge and pamper myself. Perhaps I would go get myself a new pair of shoe and a bag or head out to a spa! Weee…

I’m going to pamper myself fully and not going to care about any problems for the time being. But then, I wonder how often does the spa changes their spa filters. Ugh.. ok not going to think on it..

Think happy thoughts.. happy shoes!!!! Wee…

Who would have known that searching for a new job would be eye straining and body lagging. Ok so body lagging is not a proper term but hey, it’s my blog and thus, it’s my thoughts and words here.

It had been a slow process of picking and choosing the best job for me. Frankfully speaking, almost all of the jobs I had experienced in. The only job I’ve not had my hands on is Marine, Oil & Gas Industry and Aviation. I’m yearning to learn something new and thinking of advantage those industry would provide me send adrenaline rushing through my veins.

Hopefully I get a new job that is challenging, doesn’t make feel as if I’m rotting away and hopefully..really hopefully I get my hands dirty. I really miss having the dust, dirt and grime covering my body as I try to wriggle through the cat walks during my job station in Singapore.

I’m a hands on gal and gets bored almost easily whenever I had to be reinstated in the office again. I’d trade my Oblivion Game for getting back into the manual labor. Perhaps that is my secret to quick weight loss diet. Hehehe..

No pills for me..but give me grime and manual job and I’m all go! I wonder when I could get into action again. It’s getting a little boring staring at the monitor all day..

Oh ya, I made a new batch of cookies the other day. Not sure why it increased it’s size by three times but it sure taste nicer than Famos Amos! Will include the recipe later!!

It’s finally Saturday and too bad for me there was nothing interesting in the news today. A mug of coffee and breakfast on my front yard did nothing to boost my still sleeping brain cells even though I had awaken an hour earlier. After a week staying at my sister’s house in Pasir Ris have made me miss the little tots.

I miss waking to their high pitched laughter, someone peeling my eyelids open or even facing the little hunny giving me a hickey on any part his 4 baby teeth can get. Okay, perhaps not that one since I still have his teeth marks on my hip! But I still miss my cute little darling nephews..

As you can see, that cheeky smiling darling above is my personal favourite, Muhammad Danial Afik a.k.a Aby-aby or Apek by me. He is the little angel that gave me hickeys whenever I’m sleeping and I’m not sure how his small legs could allow him to climb onto the bed.

I don’t have his other siblings picture with me. I didn’t have time to get a proper picture of them since they were both busy running around and creating more mischief than their parents could handle.

Perhaps one day, in the upcoming months when Afik is more stable on his feet, I’d bring the kids out for a walk around. I’ve been wanting to bring them out to see the Merlion and get some nice pictures of them near a water fountain but not near those pond fountains. I don’t trust them not to dip themselves in the pond.

It’s finally here, the explosive holidays sharing their own special days on a same day!! It’s both Chinese New Year and Valentines Day. Even though I don’t celebrate Valentines but I do love celebrating CNY. It’s the only time I get red Ang Baos without having a red face. I’m still single so I have every right to collect my money! Hahah..

Yesterday I went to Sentosa Island and had a great day traisping through the clean and green island. The water was fantastic, weather was great and the scenery was scattered with tourists! Took plenty of pictures and there were a few times when I felt as if my eyes were seriously burned through.

I was at Pahlawan Beach, swimming and enjoying the cooling water at the dip station. Then there came this tourist couple and parked themselves at the coconut tree, nearest to the shore. As usual, I swam around while occasionally watched for anything/ anyone suspicious nearing my tree of possessions. Since the couple was near my tree, I had to glance at them and at that untime moment, I nearly drowned at the shocking sight.

The guy who was very plumb and in his late fourties had the strangest swimming trunks to my point of view. However upon further inspection and straining my eyes from the sun, I finally saw his what was on his ankles and on his hands. It didn’t need to a genius to figure out that the boxers he was wearing was on his ankles and his still unworn swimming trunks on his hands meant his what initally looked like weird trunks on his bum was acutally his own hairy naked bum!!

It was shocking, disgusting and the sight made me lost my balance in the water and made me choked mouthfuls of salty water. Why in the world can’t he walked 200m to the nearest changing toilet and change? At the very least cover his arse with a towel dammit! There were kids, UNDERAGE KIDS, on the beach.

There were so many weird characters yesterday that nearly made me lose my composure and stranggle them for being obnoxiously rude. There was too many for me to account for and spoil my perfect Sunday morning! However there was this irritating man in the MRT while I was heading back home from Vivocity that tempted me to show him what my fangs could do to him.

He had been staring and smiling at me for quite a while. His friends were beside him and after a while, I watched him enegaged them in a conversation, it was about my fangs. He didn’t need to be so obvious in talking about me. NO need the hand actions and facial expressions along with the finger pointing in my direction. Hello! I am still here and very much able to figure out you’re making a fun of me.

It took him a death glare and an open mouth sneer from me to make him shut up. I know my teeth can win the next Vampire Teeth of the Century but that idiot need not need to make a fun of my special teeth so obviously. To think that a person in his late 40’s were suppose to be subtle and mature.

When did Singaporean become so callous and rude?

Grr.. Anyway later on I’m heading to the Singapore Expo Hall 6B for an exhibition. Want to view what PropNex have to offer on resale houses. I heard Linda A, the agent, is great in her offers. Need to head there!!

Finally after a few days holidaying in Changi Hospital, dad is finally out and ready to conquer the world. Well, not fully ready but apart from his slight facial condition, he passed the ECG, CAT Scan and MRI with flying colours. He is still under house arrest by my elder sister and will return back home tomorrow without any fuss from her.

It’s 9.32pm right now and I can barely open my eyes, not to mention watching my steps on my sister’s favourite floor tiles. She does have a nice marble flooring but if I am really tired, not even a handsome Taufik Batisah could make my eyes open.

Oh yes, we are currently still lodging at my elder sister’s place and will do so until tomorrow. It’s her bossy mejsty orders to put dad under her house arrest. I can’t open my eyes anymore. Balancing a few weak hours of sleep per day and worrying over dad and job in the day takes quite a toll on my brain cells.

Need to sleep now..

Dad is in hospital for suspect of partial stroke. It looked that way to me since his whole left side of the face is paralysed. Had a slight panic during the first 36hrs of the incident and was nagged by my family GP to send him to the hospital before the crucial 48hrs of full stroke to take place.

You can just imagine how panicked and stressed out I was. Previously, it had happened before but after 24 hrs and a through traditional massage, the partial stroke was gone. That was 10yrs back. Now it relapsed again.

So now he is warded in the hospital after I send him to Changi General Hospital. He is warded at ward 49, bed 10. Currently I’ve gotten news from the doctor that his case was just an overlap of nerves but they are not taking it for granted and has warded him for a through check up.

 Now I am waiting the doctor’s verdict whether he needs the CAT Scan or not and the MRI. Dad just called up to inform us of the news and I’m going to visit him again later in the day. Not sure if I will be heading back to JB today but highest possibility I need to as there are a few things for me to settle. Currently I’m lodging at my sister’s place in Singapore.

Will update about news of Dad later.

Chinese New Year is coming and I’ve been thinking of heading back to Singapore for a little R&R. I know from my 20years of my life staying there, almost all shops will be closed on those days. I don’t need to shop, what I need is to relax a little and perhaps eat my way through the holidays.

I had thought of doing a little adventure during the New Year like heading to Melaka but after remembering the disastrous massive jams which grace all major highways on those special days, I tossed that idea away.

CNY is not the best time to go on for a holiday unless that holiday consist of staying in a forested area with no hotels and roads around. Furthermore the hotel rates will be on full rate! Burn a huge hole in my pocket..

I think I’d just stick to relaxing at my sister’s place, go for a dip in the sea and collect all the Ang Pao!!!! Hahaha.. I’m not married yet, so I’m privileged to get those.

Things have been looking up for me at least on the lessening of the problems. Granddad is still in the hospital and from the reports I’ve been having from my aunt, his condition is not getting any better. The infection on his left leg has spread to other parts of his leg and the right one, despite efforts from doctors injecting antibiotics to counter the attack. From the picture she had MMS me, he looked much paler than he was when I last visited him.

No matter what had happened, he’s still my granddad. Even though there were times we had our fall backs with him being a sensitive old man, but he’s still the dearest granddad that comes out with the comical faces and riddles when I was bored. Perhaps I will revisit him again in the coming weeks.

I’ve not been quite free as I used to be. Things are getting a bit busy with the cleaning up of the mess that was left by our moving. I know it’s been two months since I’ve moved, but I don’t have the luxury to constantly unpack and sort out all our things. Thank god it is only a move between towns.

If it had been a cross country moving or between cities, I think I’ll just sell everything away and move in with nothing but my clothes.

Decorating your house is quite simple. You don’t really need to be an expert in interior designing or lose bountiful of your cash to redecorate your house. In fact all you need is to just readjust your furniture positions and add a few accessories to bring out the color of the room.

If you have a plain wall with solid colors, you can compliment it with adding picture frames, wall hung clocks or even adding a few sets of wall stickers. Like me, I’ve added a few of wall stickers on to my walls. I don’t need to be a great artist to draw murals on my walls, I just need to head out to the local department store and get the stickers over the counter.

The effect of these stickers is as good as a mural, less the messy paint jobs and it is also reusable. I didn’t get those expensive ones for my walls since I have a perchance of changing my wall colors almost every two years or so. So if you like to change wall colors like me, you can always get those 3 for RM10 wall stickers which are quite huge and decorate your wall as you wish.
