Our 11th Anniversary

Last Friday was me and hubby's 11th wedding anniversary. We went to Yo Sushi for dinner. I was of cos thrilled to pieces but hubby had to choose his food carefully since he's not so into Japanese food. Only the cooked one for him. Well, he said I could decide where to eat ^_^. After which we had coffee at Starbucks.

About 1045pm, we made our way to Hilton's Lounge. There we were joined by our close friends Zadd & Reen, Hairul & Yatie and Zadd's sis with her boyfriend. We talked and laugh for hours!! At about 1:00am we decided to take a peep inside the Zeta Bar where a PussyCat Doll wannabe group was performing. We only last about 15 minutes in there and decided to call it a night. Nobody wants to admit that age factor is catching up with us :) It was a unanimous concensus that all of us don't fancy loud music and crowded room anymore.

It was a fun wedding anniversary celebration for me. Next outing we decided it will be the karaoke although half of us can't sing *gasp* god help us all :)

The Man of Steel

I fell in love with the Man of Steel when I was 10 years old. Back then when there was no internet, satellite TV nor can I cannot afford to buy foreign entertainment magazine - I use to collect those small 10cent cards where it has pictures of Superman (it was Christopher Reeve then) to feed my interest. I would forced my younger brother to exchange the cards if he has the card with Superman on it. I begged my father to allow us to watch the movie for the second time at the small cinema in Taiping. I even played 'masak-masak' (make believe cooking) with Superman as my guest.

I remembered meeting a true blue Superman fan from Florida. Angel was our system's consultant in 2005. He even has a ring emblazoned with the 'S' logo which caught my attention when I first said 'I can see that you are Superman fan' which of cos' broke the ice.

I didn't watch Superman Returns(the latest 4th movie). But last night as I was burning the midnight oil preparing a presentation for a meeting scheduled at 0900hr on Friday morning, I came across the movie on TV about 20 minutes before it ended.

It brought back those childhood memories.

of teh panas, MU and anchovy

This month has been a reunion month so far. Not that I'm complaining. I love to meet up with old friends. This time around its Araf. He's in town since last week from London. He came by to the office today.
So a few of us went out for lunch at where else but banana leaf rice shop for old time sake!! ^_^ It was a long time ago that I learned to drink 'teh panas'(hot tea) not teh tarik from Araf. He always have to emphasize to the mamak that the tea has to be 'scalding' hot and not semi hot or lukewarm! I always teased him by saying this is not England where the weather is cold and you drink hot tea all the time. But this a hot and humid country so it make sense to drink teh tarik, once in a while. Which of cos' he ignored me. So nowadays, everytime I order teh panas I will always think of Araf.
Araf is also a big MU fan. He comes from Manchester. I always drove him up the wall if I go 'Chelsea, Chelsea'! He will get very offended LOL. I of cos don't give a hoot and kept on going. Ha!Ha! Another thing I use to do to annoy him was to order pizza with anchovies. He hates anchovies! I know, I know it's very mean of us to do so but we just love to annoy him :p
The guys said they will try to arrange a dinner before he flies off but I'm not sure whether I can make it then. It's good to see him again. He promised to come by again before going back to UK.

Fool in Hot Issue 2 by Big Bang

This arrived in the mail few days back. Am so excited. I luuurve all the songs. Since this is a mini album so there are only 6 songs in the CD and I like it all. My boys love song number 6 -Last Greeting. I did post the song before. They went frantic with what suppose to be dance steps but I can't seem to figure out on whether are they dancing or having a fit? It looked like the latter..ha!ha! cruel me. Mind you but the first time I played the CD, I had to play the same song 4 times before I can chased them to bed. And now everyday, the songs from the CD will be blaring in my car on my way to and fro work. My favourite is track number two entitle Fool.
Enjoy.

Friends united

Bhav is back in town for a short holiday from Melbourne. Next week will be her last week in town. She's leaving on Friday. Her schedule was so packed meeting old friends, visiting relatives and snorkeling in Redang that Berny and me almost have to kidnap her in order to have this lunch.

We had lunch at Rak Thai (a Thai restaurant in Gardens). The food was so-so but the laughter we shared was endless. The two ladies haven't been to Gardens before so we've decided to take a stroll there after lunch but aborted the idea after 20 minutes of walking bcos we hardly looked at any shops but at each other so we decided to continue our talk at Big Apple Donuts. I think they had fun hearing about my mid life crisis stories. I wasn't even sure I had one. But we laughed so hard!! Five hours passed so quick and it's time to say goodbye. Bhav promised to return soon maybe in Dec again this year. We hugged and blew kisses (Bhav has another appointment to catch).

Almost Heaven - Judith McNaught

I was somewhere on page 5 or so when felt like 'deja vu'. Wait a minute, how come I felt as if I know how the story goes? I scrutinised the book again. It's an old new book. Translate: I bought the book somewhere in September 07 (old) and no I haven't read it yet (new). I like to own most books that I read, so I'm pretty sure I didn't buy this book before and accidentally bought another one again. I searched the book shelves again, just to be sure. Nope this is the only copy I have. But the storyline and the characters somehow is quite familiar to me. Then I started testing myself on what will happen next and true enough I sort of remember the story. Needless to say I finished the book within a day. After 'the end' I concluded I must had read the one that belongs to my youngest sis-in law. If I'm not mistaken she had the same book in her room. Yeah, that's it! That's where I read the book before. Anyways I do like the story So I guess, no harm done on reading it the second time around. Don't know why but I cried buckets while reading it (LOL so what's new?) Okay so on with the next book.

with this ring ...

My family together with my in-laws who came down, went to a wedding reception last Saturday night. It belongs to my husband's older cousin. Semoga Berkekalan hingga ke Anak cucu (May it last a life time). Amen.
Here's a snap shot of the happy occassion:
