Eat porridge hot

I'm sick of eating porridge (a lot!)
But it's good for me I'm told...

==================================================
I hate being sickkkkkkkkkkkkk...........
No voice, kena ejek cannot talk back.. but it's kinda nice not talking though.... maybe I should take a vow of sporadical silence for lent... Bah.. just 2 more weeks..

My throat feels like sandpaper, and because I can't talk much, I've gotten to taking the Ukulele around with me wherever I go just to express my feelings (Again, 6 songs or so, but I've added more to my repertoire lately.. haha) God forbid I run into a song which uses anything other than the standard I, IV, V7, IIIm, VIIm chords. lol. Expert ukulele kononnya.

So yeah, let's keep fingers crossed for tonights debut of a 3song medley.. although, I'm now itching to have more songs... which is so ironic since the first day, I was so wont to play ONE song. I have been bitten by the karaoke bug.. OH yeah, which, by the way, let's all go!!!

Maybe not this weekend.. but somewhere in April perhaps?? :D Do let me know, we can all go and layan ourselves kau kau. Somehow, it's kinda nice hearing your voice along with some background music, especially if you can kau-kau "Feeeling" the song = layan habis stim.

I'm chatting a lot I guess, coz I've been so quiet lately! I can't even layan Tinkerbell, coz I have to shout at her and man... it hurts. Coughing out blood is something I do not want to see again. o.0 Scary but....... and yes, I have so not smoked d.... pegang syiok-syiok yes la... I hope to give it up soon...

One good thing has happened out of these blue days though.... QM has been postponed to next Monday! YAY. at least, there is light at the end of the tunnel... luckily no presentation or anything...

Gosh, it's going to be 3 weeks more! and its SHOWTIME. BRAHAHH.. Bring on the drama! Bring on the power ballads! We are going to rock their senses! The last fight for this year... for me... *phew* After that, I shall start battling my dissertation. Evil after evil. ;)

OK... I gtg do some prep for tonight now... hopefully my head doesn't spin too much... its like an unpleasant trip. aughhh....

*crawls off to the kitchen*

4, 5, 6.

After all my half-hearted attempts to play something relatively decent on the guitar, I have managed to find it's mini counterpart in: the Ukulele!! Thank you Ian, for that loverly gift... And HAH! with my limited chord knowledge (5 chords) I have managed to crack some songs.. lol... so embarassing to say so but yes! 4th instrument, 5 chords. muahaha... 2010... watch out. I could be playing all year long and keeping your ears with the same 6 songs. ok.. just got outta a really cold classroom... gotta go peee.....

*skips off to find a decent toilet in KDU*

Brmmbrmmbrmm

brmmbrmmbrmm... everyday looks uneventful once I wake up.. I wonder why, beyond that limited horizon outside my window, I can't seem to summon up the courage to face the day ahead. Maybe I did wake up on the wrong side of the bed today... the underside...

Unfortunately, like I said earlier on, technology screws with me. I just got my lappy back from the Service Centre, and with everything changed, it is still. dying. on. me.!!! How is that possible?? Seriously, Macs are the best. Despite all the stuff it's been through, it has never failed on me. And they're all so beeyewtiful. *twinkly eyes*

I'm actually on my break now.. from Econs class... *yawn* and I have a thick thick book on Quantitative Methods sitting on my right. Yesterday Dr.Rod said my talents probably lie more in cooking than in QM. I shall prove it to him! I love statistics... it's just I'm so doggone tired these days I can't muster the strength to barely process numbers and formulas. Cooking conversions and recipes you say? That is a do-or-die-a-tortured-smoked-and-barbecued-death-by-blunt-fruit-peeler situation. Garrhh. So I open this book (courtesy of Joey - Thank you!! :D ) and the first thing I see is probably the most nerdiest picture you could ever get of Bill Gates, with his longish hair, bad teeth and goggle eyes behind the glassiest spectacles you could ever find in Great-Uncle George's collection. I was like, man... these people should take up marketing.

Oh well, I am overdue on my break... should go for more coffee... I absolutely cannot live without caffeine nowadays. *sigh* Thinking of that makes me think of Bellinis in Alexis with Eve. Let's go first Monday next month. We can have guiltless bitching sessions. "Teehee".
Everyone's gotta let go of steam sometime.... and of course, let that evil side of ours out once in awhile.. no more niceties. Speshly to geeky guys who technosize your life and make it a living internet-less hell AND make milllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllionnnnnnnnn$$$gazillllllllllionnnnnnnnnnnnnn$$$$$$.

*skips off to look for Nerdy glasses and a functioning laptop*

Back From The Void

I am back here again.. with encouragement from IanPenguin to continue blogging... I have been living without internet for about a year *gasp* (How does one do that in today's age and technology?) Technology screws me over big time. My cellphones, my laptops.. sigh... it is amazing how many things can happen to you so you cannot even barely communicate.

2010 is a scary year, like Eve says, it's 4 more years to the big 3-0. I have seen my life change in so many subtle ways that affect me greatly today..
1. My diet is definitely very unhealthy due to time constraints, choice and availability. Fast food is practically the only thing I can get at the hours I am actually free to eat.
2. Having a dog has shown me a lot about myself and Mr.Penguin in the trying hardships we've faced so far.
3. I guess, it is time for me to grow up, stop enjoying and kinda buckle down. But something in me still refuses to do so. I was given a talk recently and I do agree but I never want to lose that essence of child-like simplicity and ability to live life differently.
4. I now officially need at least ONE whole day to do all my errands. Which sucks. Because I never even have a day to myself. Which now reminds me, at this current moment, that I have to go grocery shopping. Boring blah.
5. "Let us die young or let us live forever" is the official theme of mankind's desire to reverse and stop life's very cycle which makes every moment precious. It is desirable to live a long life when we are still young, able and attractive because we know it to be finite. If it were infinite, then everything would yield the same level of attraction as paying bills in the local post office on pension-collection day.
6. I have seriously thought over my priorities for my life, and yes, I am a workaholic. I think I need that characteristic to actually survive an actual career in this line, but I do not want to regret the time lost with family and friends.
7. I lack the ability to say NO. I wonder why... A deep desire to be an overachiever? I hope not.. hmmmm.....
8. So far, I'm quite happy to say that my few resolutions for the New Year have been coming along quite well. With a certain level of regret for the hard-partying lifestyle and living life pretty much on the edge... but it's time to sober up and look to the future sans hangover. :) Well, perks are, I work like hell for the next 20 years and be able to enjoy even better when I retire. *grin*
9. I wonder why everyone is getting married! I know I'm not ready.... but congrats to Jacina.. she looked absolutely lovely! *muax* Next one up... Eve and Andrew... hmmmm.... can't wait!!

Well, that's pretty much what I can think of at the moment... currently like a caged kid set free in a candy shop. Internet is such a luxury!!

OK.. gtg... ciao...

Foodies UNITE!

Wow!! Seems like everyone's becoming a foodie of late... I wonder why? Well, in all, it is kinda good for the industry.. namely me later on in life.. teehee... IanPenguin always said I should take pictures of my food 'escapades' and post it up... Weelllll.. it would be fun... but I'm always so tired after... For me, after the hard work, hot kitchen and endless worry, sweat and aching feet, it's a nice cold beer or a comforting glass of red.

*sigh* as most people would know, I recently came back from Bali, and have since been an advocate of the place. It IS damn wonderful, fuckin' beautiful and need I mention?? The food is awesome. I never had a thing for Indonesian food... probably because we don't have such wonderful produce here needed to replicate the dishes back there. Man!! The pork there is absofuckinglutely great.. Everything goes well with Kecap Manis ABC, TehBotol (Milik Sosro) and Marlboro Kreteks as well as Bintang Bir. Dammit. They love their food sweet and flowery. And by damn, it IS nice...

So story is, we made so many friends there, saw so much and yet, it is just the tip of the iceberg. We didn't quite have enough time (who ever does) and now, all the signs are pointing back to Bali like a forest on fire. Or maybe we're stalking people who go there. *shrugs* Either way, another trip is in tow... let's hope it's sooner. And YES, I will take more photos... they're all on Facebook already, but the next trip, I think, I know what else I wanna capture... just an inkling of Bali's mystique and allure.

So lately, randomly, I've been hooked onto Secret Diary of A Call Girl. Man! It's so hot, without being skanky and lame, and it's damn compelling. 8 episodes a season, so, I ran through Season 1 and 2, and I'm waiting for episode 6, Season 2. That's what I don't like about series... the waiting. Especially if I see the others all in one sitting. And Heroes 3 is out now... hmmm... another reason why I should be getting on with my work, rather than playing around with the fanciful things other human beings have the luxury of enjoying.

Which brings me to all the stuff I've gotta do *groan* and oh yes, I do need to look for a job... to earn more moolah. It's all about the money here... not like in Bali. Ok, I'll stop for now, about Bali... I should just dedicate a whole blog to Bali. Sigh....

I should be asleep right now, but I'm not... I shall go... so I can dream of my workload... my 'gameplan' for the day... lol... ooh. and a certain bet with YangYang to lose 10kgs by end of this year. I shall up that and make it 15! let's hope my love of food doesn't interfere.

And the thought of that large Tuna, Ham & Spinach Quiche that I made, downstairs is NOT helping...... *grog-grog*

Go to sleep and dream.... not stay awake and eat... ish...
