The most hilarious wrong number ever


On the 25th of August 2009, 12.10 midnight, I received a message, written in a language that I'm not familiar with, Bahasa Malaysia. But, I still managed to make sense out of it. :) Here's how it went:

Sy cuba benci awk ats yg da blaku, tp smpai skng sy msh sygkn awk.. sy xleh nk paksa awk utk kutip sy lg.. mgkin pd awk sy ini sampah.. tp sy pcaya 1 hari awk akn rasa ape yg sy rasa skng nie bila dibuang org dsyg.. sy xdoakn tp sy bhrp awk akn rasainya.. xadil jika sy je yg merasa..

What the *toot*?? I don't have much Malay friends, let alone to dump a Malay boyfriend?? Never mind it, must be another wrong number. And I went on with my life.

BUT, just half an hour ago, I received yet another wrong number from the same number (0179265696, anyone of you know this fella?) and it went like this:

Sy rindukn akw..

???? Hey man it's been like 2 months, shouldn't you be over her already?? I'm assuming that this is a guy, no idea why also. Don't you have any dignity? It's been 2 months and you're still crying over you ex-gf? Pick yourself up and show her that you're carrying on just fine without her.

I can't help it, I just don't like guys/girls acting this way after being dump. There's like soooo many fish in the sea, just turn a corner and you'll bump into a better, bigger and tastier fish!

Anyway I hope this is genuinely a wrong number scenario and not some weird way for some stalker to express his affection to me.

Yay~~ New layout!!


For the last 2 days, I've been searching high and low for ways to improve the layout of my blog (no way I'm sticking with the blogger default template).

Well, I guess you can categorize me as a noob when it comes to web designing and coding. This is bad. So instead of mingling with the codes myself, I went for and easier alternative (way easier!) which is to apply ready-made template to my blog. And...

Ta-da~~ Here's the outcome! What do you guys think?? I love the bird for one thing. Hehe. And the credit goes to Gisele Jaquenod!

Gisele is such a talented artist, she offers quite a few other templates on her blog, and obviously I like this one the most! I think 3 columns is just nice, 2 columns really don't have space for all those widgets la, all squeeze down to the bottom, and 4 columns is just too crowded I think.

The best thing I like about this template is that I can easily edit my layout, adding/removing widget using the blogger layout tab without the open-frame-in-new-window fuss. As the previous few templates that I've tried required it, but it doesn't work anyway. I don't know how she does it (not so into the technical details) and if her other templates works as well, but this one is 2 thumbs and 2 toes up!! Yea that's how good it is!

But one thing though, I feel like this design is a lil' bit high in the sweetness level for me. I'm really not this sweet, trust me.

Lurve always.

Under Construction!



Sorry, am now cracking my head to figure out html coding. And I don't think I'm doing a good job here. Hmm... Maybe I should go MPH and get myself a "HTML Web Design for Dummies".

Until then, bear with me with this not-even-nearly-half-done layout.

Forwarded Emails are really the only entertainment that we have in the office, in my office at least. And this is the type of emails that would make my day just that much brighter!

Don't bring your kid into the toilet cubicle with you!

One fine Sunday afternoon, I was just killing some time in Gurney Plaza. Then suddenly I felt the nature's call and so I found a nearby toilet and went in.

So there I was, happily sitting on the toilet seat (after some cleaning of course!) minding my own business, and this is what I overheard from the next door cubicle.

"Mommy, why do you have beard at your ass??"

The kid actually spoke in Mandarin so this is the exact words I heard. And I really think it sounds so much funnier in Mandarin.

"Mommy, 为什麽你的屁股有胡须的?"



I bet my face looked just like this at that moment.




I actually get to see the mother and son in person after I came out of the cubicle. And boy was I having a hard time to hold it in when all I wanna do is to burst out laughing!

And I can't help but wonder, was the mother facing the boy that time? Cos it would made sense if she were, otherwise, it would be very, very disturbing.

Hmm...

4 most adorable puppies ever!

Now here's a video when we still had the four of them!



Don't mind me making funny noises at the background. That's how I react to cute little puppies!

Interesting fact about me

Now it would be very very wrong, if I don't tell you guys this "thing" about me. And here it goes.

I have 5 dogs.

There, surprise? Well i guess it's not that special anyway. But it is to me. It started with her, Belle. This is taken when she first came to our home.












I know, darn cute, right? She's like the best thing that ever happened to our family. Well this is what she looks like now after 5 happy years in our family!













After 2 years of Belle belle in our family, my bro got my sis another shih tzu for her birthday. And here's MehMeh (as in sheep in hokkien, I think the name suit her perfectly).























Bellebelle and mehmeh didnt really get along at first. Belle was pretty resentful towards mehmeh but mehmeh on the other hand seems to like belle very much. So you can see belle belle running away from mehmeh every time and jump up to places so that mehmeh can't reach her. Hehe. Luckily things changed over time. :"D

Then not long after came Jingle!! The golden retriever!! We named her Jingle so that we can go "Jingle Belle, Jingle Belle~~" ahaha cute right?













She's just very very gentle and she tries so so hard to please us. It has always been my dream to have a golden retriever, they're just so charming, reliable, obedient and gentle. I mean, what's there not to love?

And so we have 3 dogs in our family, and none of us is thinking of getting anymore. Mind you, 3 is more then enough to keep us busy. But then, Belle belle got pregnant. My sis took her for mating actually, and she gave birth to 4 of the most adorable baby shih tzu ever!!































Now Belle's like the mom of the year!! She really took good care of her babies i.e. feed them, clean them and always stayed close to them. Luckily she trust us enough to let us help take care of the babies, she really can't do it all alone you know.

So there's now more dogs then human in my family, 7 dogs and 5 human. OMG I can't tell you how great it was! But with that came a lot of work too! Well obviously we can't keep all four of them puppies, despite how attached we already are to them. At the end we kept only 2 and gave one to my friend and sold another one to the pet shop. We made sure they're really in good hands. So here they are, BaoBao and BuiBui, officially the 2 new members of our family! Tada!!

Everyone say hi to BaoBao!









And BuiBui!!










Gosh they're cute! BaoBao is so so tiny and also very very ladylike. BuiBui on the other hand, is quite big, not to mention fat! Cos she's always looking for food, and trouble!

So there you go, the complete dog history of our family! Gosh I spent more time looking through their photos then writing for this post! Hope you love them as much as I do!

Widget

Oh yea, I've add in Feedjit and CBox into the page. Fairly useful tool I guess.

I was actually looking to those guest/visitor counts tool but I found Feedjit instead. It basically just trace who's visiting my page and where they came from and how the left this page. If you don't like to be traced, just click on the option and select ignore my browser. For now you can just see one whole list of Penang visitor. Yep, it's all me.

It's really kinda sad actually, even when I'm writing this, I feel like I'm talking to myself. Must find ways to draw in traffic, and quick! I'm not sure for how much longer I can keep talking to myself. I guess I should think of it as keeping an online journal. OK, I feel better now. :D

Temptation

I've been surfing the net a lot lately, looking for ways to promote my blog and also widgets to add to it. Sounds like a good idea right? NOT!!

The thing is, I came across sooooo many attractive blogshops! And almost all of them are having sales! Now you know what I mean? There's this chain belt with diamond studded sun/star buckle which is so oh-my-god-cute and it's only RM18! I would have immediately email the shop owner my mailing address I'm not in such a dire financial situation here.


It's lovely, don't you agree?







I'm pretty new with online shopping. Well, I've only done it once to be precise, and all I got is a bad quality imitation goods. So my interest in online shopping stops there, but that changes today. I particularly likes this shop - The Attires' Attic and here's the link to it, in case you're interested. :") http://attireattic.blogspot.com

P.S. By the way, the model has got such good figure! Her waist must be like 22 inch? I would kill to have that kinda of body.

The only thing I can do to comfort myself is to think about all the shopping I will be doing in Taiwan! The stuff there are suppose to be pretty, of high quality and cheap! I'm going to kill my sis if that's not true!

Money Matters

As I've said in the last post, I'm facing quite some problem with $$ lately. It has always been my sister's dream to travel to Taiwan someday, or maybe even live there if given the chance. But that's her dream, not mine. Well, the thing is, she couldn't find anyone to accompany her for the trip as all her friends are either busy or doesn't have that kind of budget. So it all comes down to me, her good ol' lil' sister.

I've only started working since November last year. And after a few months of splurging on shopping, I've finally decided to set aside a sum of money every month, but this is not for "in case of emergency" (am never that kind of person :"p). That sum of money, I save up to get myself a car. And since I've only started saving for a few months, it wasn't really a big amount. But i thought, well the car can wait, the money should be able to afford a fairly comfortable trip to Taiwan. So we went on and got ourselves returning air ticket to Taiwan. We got a pretty good deal actually, RM 600 for two-way ticket to Taiwan and no it's not AirAsia, it's Malaysia Airline.

And then I got a letter. A letter from PTPTN (a government study loan i applied for during my diploma) which says that if i don't pay back the amount I'm suppose to pay back up until now within 14 days of receiving the letter, they'll inform the immigration and stop me from going abroad.

Good timing eh... I wonder if PTPTN has put a trace on my credit card transaction. Damn.

So i went to the bank, and take out all my savings, make my way to CIMB, and pay back to PTPTN. And here I am, with a return air ticket charged on my credit card bill, and no money at all to pay for the trip. Well actually that's not true, I still have a RM91.67 balance, and some cash. BUT it's NO WHERE near the amount i need to afford the trip.

To make things worst, I went to KL to attend my best friend's convocation and I missed my flight home. And freakin' MAS charged me RM339 for the next flight home! It's even more expensive than my ticket to Taiwan! And for RM339, all I get is a glass of pink guava juice and a pack of peanuts. And I don't even eat peanuts.

Thank God the trip is on mid November, which means that I still have 3 months to save up for the trip.

So I have decided that for the next 3 months, I'll cut down from dining in restaurants, it's either eat at home, hawker food or not eating at all. No more shopping, no more wasting money on things that I don't really need. But I can already see the plan breaking down cos I've just booked myself a seat for the buffet at the Spice Garden, Rasa Sayang Shangri-la Hotel. But wait, I can justify myself! It is a good deal as normally it would be RM120 per pax, but now they're doing promotion for RM60 per pax!! And the food in the photos look oh-so-nice..

Anyway, hopefully there's not too many good deals running around, or-else I'll have to auction off the tickets here pretty soon.

Revive!

I am now trying to revive my blog. Will definitely find time for it and post up bits of my life here. Just bear with me for a while longer alright? Sorry that me second post never really happened. Was already in the middle of it and suddenly it's not what i wanna write about anymore. I got it saved in my draft for 6 months and finally deleted it yesterday. It was getting draggy and boring so I've decided a change of direction on how I would write things. From now on it's just gonna be straight forward and will definitely try to make it more interesting (although in real life it might not be). :"p

I've already got a few things that i wanna write about. It would most probably be the money woes that I've had to face for the past few months and also the coming few months, greatly due to the fact that Ive booked myself a non-refundable ticket to Taiwan, without having any savings in my account. Will go more in depth on the later post. Taiwan would also be another thing that i would talk about, as unbelievable as it is, I'm finding it hard to be hype about this trip. Hopefully by the time I write an entire post about it, things have changed.

Oh and I went to KL last weekend to attend my best friend's convocation and I missed my flight home. Had to spend a fortune to get on another one.

And last but not least, yesterday i overheard this from the next door toilet cubicle. "Mommy, why do you have beard on your ass?" And that, was the highlight of my day.
