New project

Have decided to try my hand on growing my own vegetable. Bought some seeds from Giant on Saturday. The name of the veggie bought is Sawi, don't know the English word for it hehee. Anyway, asked Mom how to go about it. She wanted to plant the seeds straight away into the soil near the stairs but then she saw Nate went to deposit some poo poo there so that was cancelled hehehe. So made do with planting some seeds into a small pail filled with soil she dug up from the garden in the backyard. Just sprinkled it all in and flick some water in. And leave it under some shade but not so shady that no sunlight could get through. So left it then. Can't wait for it all to grow. Hope it all grows hehe then will take out from small pail and into the soil, maybe not the ones near the stairs but somewhere in the backyard.

Yeah OK my Mom did most of the work but then I am learning aren't I hehe? Hope it grows.

Ugh just thinking about starting to work again really makes me sick. Oh I am getting sick, my throat hurts since yesterday, and especially last night, I am sneezing and starting to cough too. Ugh and I still have to do this typing of the re-billing stuff. Today is public holiday and tomorrow I am on leave but then on the 31st I will be working since I figured I will have those invoices to sort and send out. Then on the 1st will be holiday as well then Friday back to work again. GAH!

Oh well, there is that barbecue to look forward to on the 31st. Then I really have to diet and exercise. I'm getting bigger. But weird thing is my clothes, well some of it like my jeans are loose when I put it on. When I tried on some jeans at the store the same size, they don't fit at all. Why is that? Are they making them smaller but with the same number of size? Hmm. Still, I have to exercise. Yup.

I have another cousin here, E will start working at the same place my other cousin El is working at but as a general worker. El has a friend also going to work at the same place but as a receptionist, S. Mom said they, El and S will be renting the room downstairs so they could learn to be independent. I don't know about E, how they are arranging that I don't know. Anyway, hope nothing bad happens when they are renting downstairs. Hope the doors are closed, cleanliness are maintained, no boys over, stuff like that.

Hmm talking about cleanliness, I think I'm beginning to become a neat freak, not that it bothers me, well it does when other people are not being neat and clean after I cleaned the place out. I like things organized and after being used, to be put back where they belong. Stuff like used tissue should be thrown into the dustbin not by the sink, on the coffee table or the table near the mirror in the bedroom, clothes put away or hanged where it should be, maybe inside the closet which then should be closed or on the hook outside, not on the table with the books. Plastic bags not used should be put into the drawer meant for plastic bags not on the table with the clothes and books or on the floor. Makeup tools and creams should be put back nicely not strewn all over the table. I found a small knife on that table yesterday, I did not say anything, I don't know who brought it in the bedroom and it it still there this afternoon. Let's see how long it stays there, shall we?

Hmm am I being too uptight? Something in my butt? Or is it just being a neat freak, maybe a bit of control freak or just an uptight freak?

*sigh*

Pictures :D

My cousins taking photos too :).

My brother and sister-in-law hehehe. I like this picture.

I like candid pictures too hehehehe.

Customer is NOT Always Right :D

Yeah, found this wonderful site from Boobs, Injuries and Dr Pepper (http://boobsinjuriesanddrpepper.blogspot.com) blog (great blog, love it!), it is called (The Customer is) Not Always Right (http://notalwaysright.com) :D. Proof of how customers are not always right, they can be wrong and can be very idiotic too.

All I can say is WOW, there are people like that in this earth. Just WOW.

Enjoy reading. I know I did :D. Another site that I will always go to from now on hehehhehe.

I will be strong!

I received an email this morning about 3 things that are important in life.

The things in life that will never come back once its gone are Time, Words and Opportunity. Time to spend with your love ones, words of love and praise or compliments that are sincere and words of kindness and the Opportunity to say them, the Opportunity to spend Time with love ones those who means a lot to you.

Then the things that can destroy a person are Anger, Pride and Unforgiveness. Well I am guilty in 2 of those; Anger and Unforgiveness. I realize I am quick with my anger, I realize I do have a temper, and I have realized this for a long time already. I am trying to control it, to let the anger out when the time and place is right but sometimes there are no right times or place. I keep it all inside and I think it will kill me if I don’t let it out. A friend once said that I have to let it out, it’s not healthy to bottle it all inside me. But I know I still have to control my temper.

About unforgiveness, well I don’t know if I could forgive those that hurt my family, friends or my pets. Like my cousin hurting those kittens, I don’t know if I could forgive him. Or maybe I do forgive but I don’t forget. Hmm. But it would be best to forgive and forget isn’t it? It would certainly clear my mind. I definitely need to work on this too.

I want to forgive and forget. I want to control my temper. I want to spend time with my family and friends and love ones. I want to talk to them kindly and well not just to them but to strangers too. And I want to have the opportunity to do all these.

I will be strong. I will not fall into the darkness of depression again. I will be strong!

Talk to me...la la lala la

Communication, strong and clear communication is the key to building strong relationships with other people. That is what I read. If we don't have that, what then?

I'm tired of being told about something by Person A and then Person B said something totally different about the same matter. For example the other day the duty report came in and as usual I ask around for the duty payment. All that was left was 2 duty payment from one courier. Both amount are below RM100.00 but still need the information, I do not want to pay for it in behalf first and then found out the shipper was supposed to be paying for it. So this 2 duty I asked the courier about it and he told me that Bet told him to just deliver because one duty will be charged into their duty account and the other one the shipper will be paying for it. I was fine with the shipper paying but the duty charge into the duty account I was sure was not true since the company do not have a duty account. So naturally I asked Bet to confirm whether true or not and she was so surprised to hear me say it. She said she never said anything like that before and how could she since she was on leave on the day the package was delivered. Well, I asked the courier again which is true and he insisted that he was told to just deliver and that he had written on his delivery sheet that was what Bet said.

What am I supposed to do then? Which is which? Strong communication or miscommunication? I'm tired of this.

You can do it! :)

-I just realize this morning that we missed our monthly anniversary. Should be one year and one month this month.

-I miss him a lot. I called several times last night but nothing at all. I gave up calling and tried to read to put myself to sleep and not to think too much about it, else I would become more sad and angry, mostly at myself for letting myself become sad and feeling needy, unloved and not important enough to be remembered.

-I’m sorry for being needy and clingy and bothering you with my calls.

-I was hurt when he said it’s not great that every time he calls I would be angry with him.

-I feel angry with myself.

-I feel like crap

-Maybe I am crap

-Yeah I’m getting depressed.

-To try to get myself not depressed, I wrote ‘You can do it!’ with a smiley face on a sticky note and stuck it on the PC at work. I feel like ripping it off and cutting it to small pieces.

-I hate being depressed, all weird thoughts swimming in my head

-Oh yeah my job sucks too, what else is new.

PS: Have a grand beautiful day.

Wedding and cats

The aftermath of the party last night, celebrating the wedding of my brother. My grandma brought 3 pails full of tapai. Yes, pails because that is what the tapai were put in. My aunt brought montoku, a few bottles I think, and then there are the Bacardi bottles, Chivas and other liqueurs to be mix with many bottles of Coke or as it is.

So of course, most of them are drunk, some even before 7 pm. They sing and laugh and had a great time, also made a mess of the bathroom because when I went in at 11 pm, the bathroom stinks to the high heavens. I wanted to puke right then and there. It was a really disgusting smell.

Got ready for bed but could not sleep since it was so noisy; people screaming outside, friends of my brother of course. I don’t know why they are screaming. They just screamed and screamed and screamed. Then I heard my recently married brother singing the song that he sings when he is forcing people to drink. Lets call it the Force-Drinking Song. Juliet was also singing along, she sounded as if she was drunk too; wow she is only 14 years old. Hmm.

I read a book, trying to make myself sleepy. I do have to work you know. I made it, was able to fall asleep hehe.

Woke up, found Juliet sleeping in the living room. The kitchen smells of rotten food, the floor sticky with spilled tapai and oddly the bathroom didn’t smell so disgusting as last night. Maybe my cousin cleaned it after getting home at 2 am from work. Good then.

Now there is a thing that is bugging me. Well 2 actually. The first one is that my grandma asked for one of my cats. She said that all her cats are dead already so she wanted one to be put in Kokol. Now I have seen cats that are kept in my kampong especially those kept by my grandma and relatives and I feel so sorry for all those cats and kittens. They don’t have enough food to eat, sometimes no food at all, so the cats are all thin and sickly looking, very dirty and scabby. So of course I don’t want to give any one of my own cats to go there. I have been trying to get cats and kittens OUT of there and now I’m being asked to send one back? No way. NO! Sorry Grandma but no.

The second thing is this, one of my small male cousin; I have seen him put a kitten into a plastic bag and squeeze the kitten, suffocating the poor kitten. I think I have told the story here before. I was also told before that this is not the first time he did this kind of thing. He squeezed a puppy before (I have proof of this, pictures!) and hit and scares and suffocates their own cats. I was so mad at him and his family generally for just laughing about it. My mom just said that oh he is only a child he does not know. Well then his parents and older siblings should know better and tell him off, teach him that it’s wrong to do what he did to animals, instead of just laughing it off. I have read before that rapist, murderers and most all those people in prison start their crime with abusing animals, those weaker than them. So is this not the sign of a potential murderer or crook?

I have told my parents that I will not keep quiet if he dares to torture my cats or if I think that he is torturing them, I will not lie down, I will yell at him and hit him back if needs be. He and his family are here at the moment for my brother’s wedding, and he keeps on chasing my cats! I managed to keep them away from him. I dare not leave them alone with him, no way!

Oh and he is definitely the stubbornness child I have ever known, he keeps on jumping up and down the stairs and from one couch to another even after telling him no and his sister told him no, but he keeps on doing it. My goodness.

I do love my relatives, I care for them but if they torture animals or just let someone get away with it, I will not tolerate them or that person. In this case it is my cousin. Am I being too harsh? I don’t think so.

Driving under the influence

I want to know, how do you want to see people when they are driving or when waiting for the traffic light to change to green? Do you want them to concentrate on driving and be alert when the light changes to green or do you want them to be laughing or having crazy laughs or acting like a crazy person, eating a pie, putting on make up, dancing or trying to dance to the music in their car thus making the car move up and down or sideways if possible or reading or sleeping and miss the changes of the traffic light and then getting honked?

I really don’t understand, people have said that I’m very serious while driving, most recently yesterday. Well I have to be don’t I, I’m concentrating. Here I am thinking that the roads are not the place to be having fun or not concentrating, more so if you are behind the wheel, responsible for the vehicle you are handling. There is a time and definitely a place to be having fun and being crazy, but the road and being behind the wheel is not the time or place.

Maybe they are like that while they are driving or their friends or family are like that but I’m not and so far, I’ve never seen anyone quite dumb such as that, doing those things like eating pie or dancing. But then again I have seen people reading while waiting for the light to change and because of those people, others behind them missed the green light but the awful reader person zoomed on. How inconsiderate is that. And I have seen another, a girl picking out her dandruff from her hair looking into the rear-view mirror after adjusting it to see her head and then the light changes and she didn’t even adjust her mirror. Why? Because she was kelam kabut already, wanting to drive. She picked at her dandruff and threw it out of her window. Eww. Another guy I have seen was busy organizing the backseat and clearly was not concentrating (how to concentrate if looking behind when you are supposed to be looking at the front?

I’m not like those people and I don’t want to be. So what if I’m serious while driving. But how come people act really odd if you do? Very weird isn’t it?

While I’m typing this, my colleague still hasn’t come down yet and it is 9 am already. It’s a Saturday but still, and I am doing a report here and have already told the shit covering person that I will come down soon, I just have a few rants to get out of me first.

There, all out.

EDIT: So, I mentioned about my colleague not yet in the office when it was already 9am, well she was actually already in the office but downstairs. The crazy lady at TPS called about 8 am but no one answered, of course since we are not open until 8.30 and the shit covering person is engaged if she was there already. Anyway crazy lady got upset no one picked up the phone and so she called the boss. The boss could not answer her question which is how long does it take for a document to reach Hong Kong. So the boss called the office, but no one picked up as well since shit covering person is engaged. He then called my uncle who is on leave today. My uncle called the office and SCP told him that I will be coming down soon but I have a report to do first. Then boss called the office and was told the same thing. Then, the crazy lady called and her IMPORTANT question was answered. But before that of course, the boss called my colleague and told her to come down 'since a lot of customers are calling me' he said (but in reality it was only the crazy lady). So that is what happened while I was upstairs doing my report and blogging :D.

But here is my question, the crazy lady has been working with this company for a long time already, a long long time already..shouldn't she be familiar with looking up the time frame for a document to arrive at a certain country? What has she been doing all these time then? Counting money? Harassing people? She should know how to do so already isn't it? Sheesh crazy lady.

Busy Bee

Bzzz bzzz no time for me :(

Bzz Bzzzzzz..........

Wedding, poop and feeling shitty

Been a while hasn't it? I have typed a few entries but it got weird, as in there were spaces where I didn't want it to be, suddenly all the text were pushed to the other side or something and I got fed up trying to rectify it all that I just deleted it. Yup. Oh and then my brother wanted to use the computer to do some wedding invitation printing. Yeah he is getting married, this Friday actually. I have applied for leave but then this morning usual meeting, the boss kinda forgot about it and wanted to plan taking me along to visit SFI. I got out of it pretty quickly by saying 'I'm on leave this Friday!" hehehe. I saw some of my colleagues trying to hide their huge grins.

Saturday I will be working as usual since the function is only at night and then Sunday lunch reception. I will be eating big this weekend then hmmm *looking at waistline* do not overindulge!

Well that is the wedding part :) my bro getting married and I hope to get his room for my own, but my mom and dad said that it will go to my younger brother. Hmm I'm 23 and he is 17, I have shared rooms since I was little, when am I going to have a room of my own? Goodness this sounds petty, but really when? And there is a big possibility that he will go to matriculation soon and uni after that so .... owh well, we will just see then eh? Congrats to my brother.

Now, the poop part. This is going to be very disgusting, ugh I even went to look for an image through Google so you could see what I saw this afternoon at work, but almost all images of poo was so disgusting (gee when does poo looks not disgusting ahahahha) anyway, I won't post any images of poo here, you could just go and do your business and take a peek at it before you flush. Oh and you Must Flush!

Ok, so this is what happened. My colleague downstairs asked me to give her some change for a customer. I was on my way out to go to the washroom on my floor which is the first floor. There is another washroom downstairs so ok why not just go downstairs and mind you, pee there. Its the same anyway, washroom, I'm not picky, both are clean. So I happily went downstairs, passed the money to my colleague and went into the washroom. The smell was not the clean smell and I notice there were loads of toilet paper clumps in the toilet bowl. Well we all know who does that kind of thing here in this particular office. Anyway I had to pee badly so I did. When I wanted to flush, I had to use this small pail or gayung to pour water into the toilet bowl since the flush thingy is broken. The first pour went in and the water pushed some of the toilet paper clumps down and lo and behold what shows up was..wait for it...don't you be eating right now...a brownish poop the size of maybe 2 hot dogs sewn together...EWWW! I wanted to throw up right then and there and yell and scream to whoever was idiotic not to flush after doing their business.

Oh I had an idea who might have done it..clue: loads of toilet paper clumps, always loads of toilet paper clumps. But would you go and tell her if you were in my shoes? I don't think so....

And after that, my day turned shitty as well. Lots of invoices to process and attached the awbs copies, some are missing which means I have to dig around to look for it. And I just felt really tired and annoyed with most people, especially her the toilet paper clumps lady..nah not lady..the toilet paper clumps crazy person. More on her being a crazy person soon. GAH!

Rude!!

Is it hard to be nice, to be polite, to speak kindly without raising the volume of the voice, to listen first and try to help? Is it hard?

It is even harder for me to help you if you are rude to me. I need information from you that is why I call you (if given the choice of not calling you ever, I will not call you..ever!). I speak to you kindly, asking you nicely, politely but you want to bite my head off.

Maybe you are having a bad day, but that does not mean you have the right to be rude. And to slam the phone? Wow..and you work at a legal firm, does that mean its ok for you to be rude?

Goodbye Tapa

We will miss you.

The Birthday Party

Who knew, who could have known what would happen after a few days of fun and eating lots of meat and cake and laughter? No one. I will get into this after this post...if I feel like it.

Anyway, we celebrated October babies birthday during the Hari Raya holidays. We exchanged gifts like I have said before in the previous post (edit: looks like I have a missing post here or I have deleted it already or I dreamt it..hmm..weird..). Anyway, I received quite a range of gifts, thanks you thank you, wished I had more time and money to get a great gift for all the other October babies, oh well, there is always next year or Christmas :D. Ooooh can't wait for Christmas. Ahaha going off topic there...hehe anyway, here are some pictures of the event, the Birthday party.


One of the banner and the balloons.


The other Birthday banner.

The birthday cakes.


The chocolate coloured, not chocolate flavoured.


The pink one with its candles lighted.


One of the barbecued meat..yummy :D.


The other barbecue meat with chicken wings hehe.


Even the tongue was barbecued though I do not know who ate it. Not me :P.

That is all.

Memorable phrase

Cousin Ivan and Nathan, playing with balloons. Little Nathan is hitting the balloons with a cylinder cardboard thingy. Ivan is throwing balloons at Nathan for him to whack/hit :P. Ivan wants Nathan to do something for him, thus the memorable phrase :D

Ivan: Nathan, hit my ball!

Of course Ivan meant the balloon he was holding but well, it could easily mean other things. Hehehe.

Its a Boy :)

Ahahaha how surprised I was to hear my Dad declare little new kitten Renee as a male kitten and not a female kitten. I named her/him Renee too hahaha. Should we change the name or let it be? We call her/him Ne-ne for short anyway (I know its silly :P) What would the new name be? Hmm..still thinking.

Lets just see some pictures of Renee :) the male kitten :D.

This is him (ehe weird :P) when I first got him (with permission mind you! I did NOT steal him away, I do NOT steal!). Have not given him a bath yet when this picture was taken, the ears partially cleaned with cotton buds.

See how tiny he is, he could slip in and out quite easily through the tape thingy..round thing :P.

Roooaaarrr!! Nah more like Yawnnnn zzzz..much better when he sleeps or feeling sleepy/tired as he bites less. He is a bitter and those tiny but sharp teeth hurts.

He likes to kacau the two big cats and this is one of them big cats. Kitty kind of lets him bites her, well sort of, at least she does not hisses at him all the time, unlike Darcy :).

The back view hehe poor strong Kitty :D.

Balik Kampung yeah yeah + Work pics

I applied for leave already for the 3rd of October. I left the form in the Boss box, hopefully he lets me have the day off since I want to be back home at my kampung, to see Grandpa. There's going to be a gathering too and that of course means BBQ which equals to lamb chop owh please please let there be lamp chops...yum!! But if there are no lamb chops, I suppose pork chops are ok hehehe. Oooh and there seem to be a plan of celebrating all the October babies, me and Grandpa included of course hehehhehehe and I hear presents too :P in the exchanging of gifts :) I'm thinking of books or a book for a present for the other October babies as books are always good for anyone hehehe and I don't really know what else to give.

Before the holidays though, 2 more days of work. Have to get more money. Really, what can I do if they don't have any payment prepared already? Its not like I have this magic wand that I could swish around and POOF! payment made and received. Again I was attacked (I feel attacked) from those bloodsuckers from HQ always asking for money money money. That guy emailed me statement of accounts of customers that still have outstanding and have not made payment yet. He said I was not proactive in chasing after payment and emailed this to my boss, to his boss, to other higher up people. I feel like kicking and punching that guy, gorging his eyes out....GAH! That was how pissed off I was with him and his shitty attitude.

I realize earlier on in this job that I'm doing, you need to know how to lie and lie well, lie well enough to convince people, be it your customers or your own colleagues far away across the ocean. And guess what? I'm a bad lier. And I hate to lie. But I have to. But then I lie badly and in the end I got caught up in the lie and I'm being shamed. Hate that. Who likes that?

Want to see my crappy, small, hot-but-there-is-aircond-in-there-but-they-don't-close-the-door-so-its-hot office? Below:

This is what I look at every single day except on alternate Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays :D.

This is under my desk which takes up a lot of leg space. Those are empty envelopes, company stamps, blank papers that will be used as notes paper etc.

This is behind me, inside that cabinet is full of files that when I leave open because I keep taking out files from there, the boss will keep on closing it (if he is in the room :) ).

This is really behind me, see that paper basket there and more paper again.



This is the front view near the door. They say they can't see me if they look in from outside the door. Hehe.

This is the small space that I sit in. I had to angle the desk drawers thing that way so when I turn around I could still open it. That is how small my space is. Get a smaller chair? There are no other chairs available. Besides I like my big chair hehehhehe.

The calendar on my desk, all covered with notes and messages from customers. A bit messy (ok very messy) but at least its all there :).

Something I wrote down after a very very very stressful morning. Yes morning, I still had to go through the afternoon.

Ok, here it is. I am thankful that I have a job and that I get paid and able to save some money. For all that I am thankful. I know all jobs are stressful but sometimes I just wish that I am doing something that I really really enjoy, really look forward to do everyday. I just have to find it and keep on searching. For now, I have to tough it out. Maybe this will make me stronger, or maybe it will just drive me nuts!! 8D

Time Flies and Flies

Its been 11 months now today, which means its our 11 months anniversary, really want to talk with Honey, listen to his voice. We chatted on Wednesday, it was great, I enjoyed it hehe. Hope I did not take too much of his time to finish his assignment. Hope you get better soon too Honey :) Happy 11 month anniversary!!

On 10th Sept, it marks 1 year for me working where I am working now. And what do I feel? Well...tired. I just feel tired. Same feelings as it was in January this year. Hmm. Well the re-billing is now not my responsibility but I still have to look into it from time to time, like today I spent the whole afternoon resizing the bloody debit notes, printing it all out and marking which ones I need to check for the charges again. GAH. And then I have to prepare the list of debtors for the Boss to look into it next Monday. Sheesh, I resent the email I receive from the Boss as he implies that since the re-billing is not mine to do anymore he expects the list to be up to date. Woah....but you see for the list to be really up to date, need to finish all the previous months re-billing which my colleague and I are still doing our best to finish and bring it all Up to DATE!

Huh. Then there is or are the flies, rotten creepy disgusting flies, loads of them, flying over here and there. Ewww. Most of it are on the ground floor, near the big dustbins (of course), the small eateries, basically near dirty stuff. Now my workplace is on the first floor, with air conditioning and a door that remarkably can be closed, IF you closed it, you know, pull it near to the frame and when you hear a click that indicates the door is now closed, then you leave. If you don't hear it click or you see that it opens by itself, or that somehow the room feels a bit warm suddenly, then it either means the air conditioning is not working (nope) or the door is not closed (YES), then of course it is not closed!! It annoys me so much that these 2 grown people (and other people that comes in) can't close a door correctly or properly and then when a fly managed to come in they say in amazement "How on earth did this FLY GET IN HERE?' or when it suddenly became warm in the room they complain 'Wow its so hot in here" when obviously the bloody door is still open after they came in. GAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! CLOSE the BLOODY DOOR!!!!!

Hmm just some pent up frustrations :). I feel better now.

The Mall and Books

Yesterday after work and a quick lunch at home, we went to the new mall deemed as the biggest mall with all the things that you would want, all under one big roof. Though some part of the building is still under construction, a lot of shop yet to open, there were many people there already. Many shops are carrying branded stuff, even though advertising a sale going on, still expensive, for me anyway.

It's quite far from home, I don't think we would go there all the time (not that we go out that often). It was just a visit of sort, to see a new place, something like that. I wanted to go to Daiso, the Rm5.00 shop :D. Ehehee. We are weird I guess, because we entered the building, walked around, saw the expensive prices even with a sale going on, walked away, saw a sign showing the Giant store and made a beeline for it. I guess we are more comfortable with the familiar :). Bought several stuff there, such as 2 cartons of soya milk, a carton of strawberry yogurt, green tea, and lots of buns. Really bad way to start I think because then we or rather me had to carry those 3 cartons of liquids all over the place looking for Daiso!

But at last, we found it :D. Didn't want to drag those cartons into Daiso so gave them to Dad, and well Dad then 'volunteered' to stay outside of Daiso since Mum said we would be charged again for those stuff if we put it into the shopping basket. Oh well.

Back to Daiso, all the stuff there sold at RM5.00. Some stuff are cheap if at RM5.00 some are expensive at RM5.00. Still it was great, browsing the stuff there, bought some ie cat scratch carpet, a cat toy, a straw hat, a toothbrush (J punya), a kitchen sticker thingy and a vegetable loofah. Yeah...all these at RM 30.00. I paid. Oh well :).

We browse clothes too but it was all expensive so that was all we did, browse. And of course trying to find the way back to where we first came in. That place is huge and you could easily get lost. But we managed fine of course and went back home. That was all the end. Ehe.

Now for the books part. Well I started reading story books again, real books hehehe borrowed from the library. The first time after a long absence from reading I borrowed The Green Mile, Cockroach and a four-story-in-one-book, all Christmas love story :). Finished all 3 and oh how I love The Green Mile, both the movie and the book. Love it!

I saw the movie first then read the book and while I was reading, scenes from the movie would come up in my head and its like I can see what is really happening...ahahaha. Makes me want to watch the movie again. Oh but if I could read it again I would.

Cockroach was about a woman afraid, really afraid of cockroaches because of the abuse she had when she was still a child. Her awful dad would punish her with cockroaches, putting them on her long hair, or putting them inside her clothes, on her hands..it was abuse. So the story was this, a cockroach found its way into her apartment, and she spent the day, the whole day battling it out with the cockroach. She was so afraid that in the end she jumped out from her bathroom window (yeah I'm not so sure about this one, the bathroom window here at home is quite high). Her husband thought she jumped to escape being raped but well..if you want to know the story, look it up, title is Cockroach. Sorry I didn't write down the name of writer.

The third book was great too but it was like a shorten version of those 4 stories. It was a good read :).

I'm now with the next batch of borrowed books, all 3 books are detectives stories :) hehe. The first one is Scaredy Cat by Mark Billingham, the second is Bone Thief by Thomas O'Callaghan and last is Golden Age Detective Stories, by the masters of detective writing such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jack London. I've read the first 2 books and wow really scary if those crimes really happened. Scaredy Cat is a serial killer who has a friend doing the same thing or rather forced to do the same thing and Bone Thief is a crazy man stealing women's' bones, their heads, hands and feet. Wow. Really scary. For the last book, I haven't started to read it yet, hopefully this week before I have to send it all back on Sunday.

Yay for books :D.

Pictures from the Cat Show

Here they are, the few pictures that I got from the First Ever Cat Show. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with it, I thought, expected more from it especially so since there would be judges from USA coming in to judge those kitties and well perhaps the quality of the show would be very high. But sadly nope.

First there was no labels anywhere to tell you what breed each cat is, where they are from or even their names. Why need to know the names? Well at least that would be some information isn't it rather than none at all. Very disappointing. Then there is the sound or lack of sound. There were so many people there and of course you end up standing at the back, not able to listen to what the judges are saying, but maybe, if there were microphones, I'm sure we people at the back would be able to hear and understand what was being judged and everything. Poorly done really. Oh and a rude volunteer or cat helper is just not so good for the image.

Is it worth the RM5? Hmm for charity I don't mind but next time around? I'll think twice about going to another one. Enjoy the pics!

Cat looking at people.

One of the ring or judging. So cute, look at the guy with the cat, the way he is holding the cat :).

One of the posters with the many types of cat breed. What? Expect us to go look at the cat and run back to this poster to check what breed he/she is? Sheesh.

Go and spay or neuter your pets, don't feel sorry for them that they won't have their own litter, but think ahead please. Would you be able to take care all of the future litter of kittens or puppies? Would you be able to give each a home, a safe and loving home? If no, then do the right thing, spay or neuter.

You annoy me girl! Stop taking my picture with your camera phone, use a real camera :P ahahah

Good, go away now.

Tired. Most of the cats there were curled up sleeping away the afternoon.

Another was busy licking and cleaning its backside.

One of the larger cats there. Very majestic looking.

Another big cat. Soft paws oooohhhh.


A puffy and cuddly white kitty.

A big black ball of cat, the 5th best of something. See we don't know what each cat have competed in and what they won. Only a few of the cages has these ribbons on their cages. But this is 5th best, so where is the number 1 cat then?

*SIGH*

More pics

Yeah more pics to feast your eyes on :) tada...

Another sneaker fashion statement, singing with the live band :). This is a girl mind you.

One of the security or Rela guy or something like that under a big tree for shade.

One of the many kids there at the place where people throw away their used water cups.

Getting a hold of one water cup with still quite a bit of water inside it which is really quite a waste, don't you think?

The kid squirting the water out of the water cup. Squirt squirt...

How was your weekend? :)

Yup I'm here to talk about the weekend and some stuff not about the weekend. First off, there was a huge fire on Wednesday night at around 7.30 pm near the place I work, the building on fire was the big supermarket there by name of Survey. Its a 2 storey building, huge building and its destroyed, all of it was destroyed. All that was left standing was one wall near the entrance for the goods from suppliers. Even that was not a complete wall. The rest was burnt rubble and whatever was left of the things sold in there. Its still under investigation but somehow or someone has broke apart some of the tape the police have put up to secure the place, well secure or something. Some say all the cash register and the cash would still be there, and I guess that would be what some of the kids hanging around there are looking for. Ugh but the smell, how could they stand it? Even to this day, the smell is still there, thank goodness for the rain in the afternoon or it would be horrible, much more horrible. I hope to get some pictures of it soon, when I could stand the smell a bit. I don't want to go there and snap some pictures and return to the office smelling like burnt rubber. Not a good smell.

So, on Saturday, we were invited to go to Kota Belud to attend a wedding. I love weddings, the food, the gift that guests received after, the food :). It was raining on and off that day, but it was a great day and finally the rain stopped and both groom and bride came out. There were 7 shots fired, there were horses, there were lots of photographers that I wasn unable to get a good clear picture of the bride and groom since I was right at the back, and even when I managed to get to the front, well not so front anyway. Oooh have I mention the food? It was delicious, ulcer or no ulcer I ate :) hehehe. While waiting for the happy couple to come out, I took some pictures.

Lets see some of them :)

The happy couple portrayed in cartoony fashion

The view I see from where I sat, the food :)

The muddy path to get to the food.

A cute puppy lost looking for food

The live band. This is the view that I have, some would say its a great view of the live band but not if most of what you are staring at is a butt, the red t-shirt butt.

This is the shoe of the guy singing with the live band. Pretty pink sneaker :)

This is the kid that was so fascinated with the band. He kept on staring at them with his pose like that.

Another kid with his 'holey' shoes :)

The unique and beautiful patterns on the camp.
