Try harder guys

I was chilling out with an ice cream just across Planet Hollywood KL when I saw this signage. I think its cute.

My 2nd pair this month

I bought this yesterday. Right after my birthday lunch treat. 2 weeks ago, I bought a pair which was also white (actually it was my husband who reminded me that!!) But I cant resist this one. It was on sale!! ^_^

I once read a theory that say not to shop when you are hungry bcos you will then tend to shop more. But this was not the case for me. I was full, in fact too full but I still can't resist the temptation. I guess it takes more than an empty stomach to stop a 'shoeholic' person like me, if such word ever exist. But I'm not too bad actually.. bcos I only go berserk if the bargain is just too crazy to ignore. Just like yesterday's

Just look at it. Isn't it gorgeous? Check out the heel (wicked, wicked smile). I plan to wear it tomorrow. Guess I'll be 2 and half inches taller in the office. He!He!

**It's my birthday**

I’m officially 36 years old today, Aug 14. Another 4 years to go, before I have to change the blog title to ‘Confession of a forty something’. Didn’t have anything special planned for the day and knowing Angah’s busy workload these few days, I doubt that he too had the time to work on any surprises for me (though I secretly hope that he had). But to be fair to him, I did have a pleasant surprise from him for our 10 years anniversary last April.

My first birthday call came from my parents at the early morning hours. After which I received sms from my brothers, bro-in-law, my husband’s niece, a call from colleagues at the office –put me on speaker phone and sang Happy Bday song to me, another call from my husband’s nephew and more birthday wishes sms from long time no hear friends.

Anyways both angah and I took leave from work today to have my birthday lunch treat. After the usual argument of ‘where are we going to eat’ in the car, we decided to go Starhill to check out the many eateries they have there. We never eat there before.

The 20-25minutes drive took us almost an hour to reach due to heavy lunch hour traffic. I was starving by the time we reached the place and decided that I can eat almost anything. So we decided to eat Western food when we saw Jake’s. It’s the safest and yummiest choice.
I had lamb shank (request for the smallest portion that they have-picture on top) while Angah had a combo of steak and prawn.
For appetizer, since it is my birthday so I got to choose and I chose half dozen of fresh oysters to the horror of my husband. I managed to persuade/force him to eat one (he swallowed it actually without even tasting it).
To him, it’s like Fear Factor. Other than vege and fruits, he dislikes uncooked food.

We had dessert at another place. Or rather I had dessert. Angah is not so into sweet things unlike me.
But I’m really trying hard to control my sugar craving. But birthdays are exceptional even when it is not mine. He! he!

All in all I had a pleasant birthday. Oh ya, I bought myself a present too. But maybe I elaborate about that in another entry.

Tonite, I’m skipping dinner. I’m still full. In fact, I think I ate too much bcos now my tummy hurts. I already popped in the gastritis pill.

Wally Lambs: I know this much is true

I bought this particular book in February 2006. Only get to start reading it now. Progressing very slow, I must say. A lot got to do with me getting very stressful at work that each time I come home all I wanna do is hit the bed. Secondly, Danish will be sitting for his school test next week so I have to check his school work and check the work that I asked him to do. Thirdly, the writings are small and it has about 900 pages!!

I have about another 700 odd more pages to go.

Oh grey hair, how shall I count thee?

I went to have my hair cut yesterday. Mei the senior stylist who cut my hair the last time is no longer working there. I never have long relationship wt hair stylist. The good ones especially. They usually transfer to somewhere else and no longer working at the same saloon, the next time around when I come to have my haircut.

Anyways, my new haircut which I don’t entirely fancy revealed more than I want. My grey hairs. It’s like everywhere. Especially the middle parting. Shining, silver white hairs screaming for attention ‘look at me! look at me’. I was so embarrassed with Sam the one who cut my hair. But he didn’t make any comments. If he has, it will be easier for me to laugh about it. But he didn’t.

My boyz were over excited to see so many on my head but I told them don’t bother plucking it bcos after they have done, I probably don’t have any strand of hair left on me!!! Which I think strike a cord to them bcos they suddenly threw each other a ‘o my god’ look. What if mama goes bald?

My initial thot was to just leave it be, but it looks so ugly…Guess I have to pay a visit to one of the pharmacy to get a DIY haircolor soon. Sigh!

Browneyes: reason for breathing

A friend from office lent me 3 of his korean music CDs. I fell in like with one. It’s a group called Browneyes. Apparently the above is their second album. One or two of the music arrangement resembles the song Roxanne from Toto and Boyz to Men. It is sooo amazing and creative. Especially the first track (it’s in Korean so I don’t know what it is actually called), the no. 6 track called ‘I wanna fall in love’, True Luv track no.8 and track no. 11. It’s very difficult to choose since all are brilliantly done!!! Track no. 15 even has the Scottish pipe and sound like something from the Corrs.

I’ve been listening to the CD for God knows how many times. Gosh, I must have it!!! I’m still listening to it as I’m writing this.

…and did I mention that I also like track no. 10?

A fruitful Saturday

Angah made a turn to Sri Petaling on our way home from visiting Pak Su at the hospital in KL. I threw him a questioning look and he immediately answered ‘nak pegi beli buah’ (buy fruits). Oh good I said. The last time I went to the clinic the doctor advised me to eat lots of papaya. Good for my stomach and bowel system, she said. We stopped at the road site bcos my husband just saw a street vendor selling his favourite rojak buah and bought it.

Next stop was the fruit stall. After surveying some of the stalls I saw my papaya so Angah parked the car at the road site. I’d buy the papaya while Angah will pay for the mangosteen. But Danial was shouting from the car and asked me to buy his favourite fruit which is rambutan. There was no rambutan on sale but there was pulasan (which resembles rambutan and get this, taste similar like rambutan too). So at the end we bought 1kilo of mangosteen and pulasan plus my papaya. Yummy!

To all my overseas living friends who are reading this, tomorrow Angah has promised me that we will go to buy durian. ^__^ (evil, evil grin) ha!ha!

Have a good and delicious weekend everyone. Burp..excuse me...
