Sat, 12 Oct: A working Saturday morning once again. This time round, I finally get to give my manageress (of my direct employers) an update of what's up in Agilent... stuff like what's been going on with my work, how's my colleague coping (she's also contracted to Agilent) and yadah-yadah.

12:30 pm, I left the office. Chin2, Peky & Malcolm had come by to pick me up for our lunch outing at CRC with Dominic & also Daniel. But before going to CRC, we had to make a slight detour for Chin... she's on a vegetarian diet that day. Actually we had intended to eat at the CRC "canteen" place but Dom was already at the restaurant eating peanuts and having some tea. We all thought, "Oh well.... nevermind then... we can have lunch here too"

These people are really sweet - they had bought me a cake to celebrate my birthday (it wasn't my birthday yet... they just celebrated it early). Btw, thank God Julian couldn't make it... I know he would have made sure that I get some cream on my face if he was there. Anyhow, lunch (as we found out) was 2 times more expensive than it would have been if we had eaten at the "canteen"

Anyhow, all of us with exception for Daniel decided to go to Mega Pavilion (Bkt Jambul) to watch "Three" - a movie consisting of 3 short horror films, each from a Korean, Thai & Hong Kong director. I find the Korean movie creepy, and I would find the Thai film creepy if I were horribly superstitious. The Hong Kong one? It has a decent storyline that could freak us all out if only we didn't laugh at much. The little boy was too cute. Eric Tsang could act his role well... but what happens when everyone still remembers him more for his comedic acts?

Ok... after being sent home by Mal, safekeeping all my stuff & the leftover cake in the fridge... it was (Yes InDeEd!) - Nap Time!! Ah... ~LoVeLy~! Later, dinner being over and done with... my dad wanted to go for a movie and pondering over "The Tuxedo" & "K-19: Widowmaker"... I jumped at the chance and said I will follow if it's Tuxedo. And so that's decided. We waited for mum to be ready before making our way to the Mega Pav in Prangin. Anyhow, my folks wanted to go to Parkson to get some stuff before the movie began.

About the Tuxedo experience: It's a splendid comedy! Full of laughs... Jackie Chan back at what he does best - physical comedy in a basic good guy vs. bad guys story. I do find Jennifer Love Hewitt to be the right kind of co-star for him too. Of course the other thing about Jackie Chan movies... they all come with a section of boo-boo shots before or during the end-credits. Don't miss out on how he messes up his lines. Very cute.

Tue, 8 Oct: Did my packing in the morning before I taking a quick check on my emails. Arrived pretty early at the KTM station - about 45 minutes early actually... my dad had dropped me there earlier since he had to go for a meeting in the city. The bus left at about 3:40 PM. It was drizzling.

Most of the way back north it was alternating between light rain and heavy rain. When we reached the Garden Inn stop at 8:30 PM, it was monsoon rain at its torrential best. I think parts of my clothing were quite properly drenched. I had hoped that this won't mean that it'll make my cough any worse.

Wed, 9 Oct: Went to drop gramps at his office (as usual) before taking a detour to the clinic. It was stil closed. Aw, shucks! Looks like I have to come back later in the evening. Went to work to find out that there was nothing much to really pick up on. Lucky me!

Had gone to the workshop after work to collect the adjuster's receipt for my insurance claim & also to pay them the remainder of the repair fee for my car door. That being said and done, I went on to take gramps home, took an early dinner @ home, and went to the clinic. The doctor on duty was my uncle. He told me that my throat infection wasn't fully recovered... so that's why I'm still coughing. Right. More medication to battle them horrible germs!!

Thu, 10 Oct: Ah well... seems like I have to face the dreaded online procurement system again today... Sweet! Really, really sweet. So much angst over a system... I'm not the only one who has the same view about this... maybe we should start a support group - Frustrated iProcurement System Users Anonymous. hehehe...

Today: Yet again, I was given a few more things to do that required me to work with my all time favourite system. Dang. Heck... I also have a whole month's worth of weekly reports to complete. Considerably a busy day.

At present, my office is laden with a spreadful of sandwiches, cakes, danishes, fried popiah, coffee & tea. Looks pretty much like a mini-reception. The extra food came about because what was supposed to be a full-day meeting between one of the managers here with some partners/vendors finished in half a day. Snacks anyone?

Night edition: Okay... i added this section in on a Sunday. Basically, I went out to meet with some friends at Screwball to play some real pool. I must say that I'm still better at aiming those long shots. haha... weird-eh? Anyhow, I had to leave them at about 12:25 am to go to Garden Inn to pick up my parents who were arriving there from KL in say.... 5 minutes time? yeah... that's it.

Sun, 6 Oct: Took half a muffin & a huge mug of latte for breakfast. Had to take a cough syrup to suppress my cough. It's been acting up again. Lazed a while before... u guessed it - lunch time! Lunch was simple... it was cream cheese + pate on crackers.

When everyone was finally fed and ready, we started to arm ourselves to unload the books & schtuff sitting on the shelves, table tops & in the cabinet drawers in my dad's study - into some boxes. Man, was it dusty! *ack, ack* By the time we stopped... we've only managed to clean out only half of the stuff.

After cleaning ourselves up & taking a rest, dad took us to Carrefour (Subang) to stock up on a few items for the house before taking us to a scrumptious dinner at the Coliseum in KL. Mmm... yummy! To top it all up... we went home to have some Chocolate Cake for dessert. Rich, moist, delicious chocolate cake... but then again... I can't take too much of it... cough control... Ah well....! Win some, lose some.

Mon, 7 Oct: After a light breakfast, it was back to taking part in packing up what's left in the study shelves & cabinets. Lots of stuff to wipe. Earned myself quite a few papercuts while wiping off layers of dust from the books & files (some of them even had fungus growing on it.

After that was done - cleaned up & followed my brother to buy lunch. He was sick of eating rice, so we went to get Subway sandwiches. While I was in the shop getting my order done (including 1 for mum) - it suddenly poured like cats & dogs. Luckily the rain subsided somewhat by the time I paid for the take-aways.

With lunch finally over & done with, took a short rest before asking my brother to send me to the KTM station. Took the Komuter to Sentral; and a Putra LRT from there to KLCC. Went there to meet up with Ying Lai, who's now a pharmacist at Guardian, after her shift. We walked around a little... had a dessert each as a snack... and we came upon a huge Stitch soft toy that Lais wanted to kidnap right off the display... we also did a little shopping to stock-up on our own stationery/craft items.

Soon, we had to part ways. We boarded the LRT together - she hopped off at M. Jamek while I had to stay on the train until the end of the line - Kelana Jaya. My family picked me up at the Kelana station for a dinner with them at SS2 (different shop this time). I pretty much enjoyed my meal of porridge.

Back home again, my dad fell asleep on the couch while the remaining trio of mum, my bro & I shifted over the study's furniture pieces into another room (and swapped a few things over to the ex-study). Oh yeah... we had to move my bro's computer over too. Once the computer was hooked up, my bro tried to dial into Streamyx - it finally worked. Our verdict on why it didn't work previously is *drumroll* the other parallel phone line is somehow handicapped. That's why I could check my mails & the blogs on Monday night... muahahaha....

I hereby finally add the official updates to this blog - in place of my random ramblings that were used as a preview to the following. Onward!

Fri, 4 Oct: Ok... it was a very busy day at work. Skipped lunch (but that was OK since I had expected the workload and had the sense to take a heavier breakfast). At 4PM - I quickly cleared up my stuff and went on to update my colleague so that she could back me up (somewhat...) while I'm on leave.

Fortunately, I didn't speed on my way home coz there was a police roadblock somewhere along the way *phew* - reached home & quickly pack in some last minute stuff... went to pick up my grandpa first - drop mum & myself off at the bus pick-up point while letting gramps take the car home. Nearly missed our bus to KL. Reached KL at 10:30 PM... my dad & bro came to pick us up and took us for supper somewhere in SS2. Ahh... makan!

Oh yeah... also wished 2 people Happy Birthday today.

Sat, 5 Oct (meow-meow day): Woke up blissfully at 10-ish. Watched some toons on TV before we went out for our Dim Sum lunch at Sunway. Btw, the Dim Sum was halal... the items mostly had shrimp, chicken, shrimp, more shrimp & some other meats-vegie combinations.

After lunch it was on to Istana Budaya for our matinee show of Cats™ *meow* I find the 1st half of the show rather slow... but what I do find interesting is the incorporation of Choral Speaking - it was used to convey some verses of T.S.Elliot's poem from which this production was based on. At intermission, I went to get the program book and the CD before meeting up with my parents & mum for a drink. On our way back to our seats, I bummed into Chin Chin & Alan. Also noticed a 'Cat' - he was sniffing at something in a lady's hand. She gestured to offer it to the Cat... and I nearly laughed when the Cat quickly shook his head to indicate that he didn't want it.

Back at our seats, I saw a Cat moving around the Upper Circle (UC) from the left and grooming herself every now & then. Not long after that, a HUGE grey cat walked in and started playing with the Caucasian kids in the row behind - poking one of them on her tummy. By now... I felt I was in for a little trouble... HUGE Grey Cat stood behind my seat for a while... (I think it sniffed at my cardigan that was draped over my shoulders)... he pulled my scrunchy - climbed on my seat and DisPlaced me from my seat... (ok... So I was actually sitting on the Cat before he pushed me away towards my brother) It just gave me an innocent look when I looked at him in the face... very much like a typical cat.

He continued climbing down the rows - making a few kids scream (he was quite scary), sitting on some people, and lying across a row of people. Ganas. Then he moved over to the right of the UC... and rummaged through a purse & pretended to toss it off the balcony. By then, a third Cat was in the UC... the kid who screamed played with her tail when she walked pass. She went on to chase the HUGE grey cat around the UC...

Soon the 2nd half of the show began. We were all more perked up now since those Cats had come up to 'play' with us. Moreover, I do think that the 2nd half of the show was livelier too... more interesting characters. I loved the dancing by the 'Magical' Cat... (that Cat has the power to call on the pyrotechnics too!) Neato!

Oh well... overall, I do find Cats to be an interesting play on its own. The stage set had plenty of trap doors. The lighting effects were a really good visual aid - it helped to set the scenes as they switched between the dark of night - to the world of the old cats while they were in their prime.

After the show, we went for a walk in Bukit Bintang. Went to StarHill... before my brother took me to the 2nd hand CD shop. Actually found a copy of the Miss Saigon recording there... Yay! Also found a few CDs that Daws might want... so I called him to ask him if he wanted me to get it for him... in a later call to him... I found out that he was also in KL! Kecilnya dunia ini...

On the way home, my dad had to detour back to Sunway Hotel to collect the Chocolate Mud Cake that he ordered and forgot to collect. We reached home about 15 minutes before Kalamari & Kotak came to pick me up... Finally, I get introduced, face-to-face, to Kotak. We went for some apom, drinks, & plenty of chit-chat in USJ17. The food smelled great but we've all just had dinner prior to meeting up... so... it was just a snacky-chatty outing. Oh yeah... there was a moment when Kalamari had to figure out who between Kotak & I was fibbing... hehe... that was fun to watch ;)

Hmm... still have work to clear... darn data entry stuff... ish-ish... my colleague & I are being drowned in it for now... oh no! err... I just remembered I've been neglecting the web update request because of this... darn...

Anyway, I'm looking forward to my trip down to KL. Let's see... I'll be taking the evening bus from Penang on Friday and I'll be in KL until I leave by bus on Tue afternoon. On Saturday, I'll be watching Cats matinee show at the Istana Budaya. So I guess I'll be doing my packing tonight... hmm... I wonder what I should take along with me this time? =)

On the other hand... not really looking forward to the fact that while in KL, I need to help out in some furniture moving... yup! That's right... it has something to do with my dad's Feng Shui consultation.... oh well *sigh* I might not be of much help though, especially if a coughing fit hits me again when the heavy-duty moving gets going... hmm... that's a thought~

oh no!! Landslide of work today... die liau! No long stories to tell today... except... I dunno why I started doodling out little cartoon animals on a white A4 last night. Hmm... must find a use for them someday.

** p/s: Jerry! I finally linked you... sorry for the delay.

Nightline: I have no idea what happened to me - I couldn't stop coughing the whole evening. It's hard to drive when a coughing fit seizes on me. Thank God I managed to drive home safely today with my usual pick-up... gramps. Today was one of those days I feel like driving straight home instead of going the extra mile to chauffeur my gramps home from his shop. Am feeling a lil' better at the moment... sleep... sleep... sleep is still the best medicine.

Am feeling much better today - drinking more water than I normally would. Yeah... now that is way unusual because I normally drink like a camel - I mean... I drink very little water in a day. Yes! I know that is not good... but then again, old habits die hard.

Sat, 28 Sep: Worked 1/2 day (morning shift). After work, I went to pick grandpa up (as usual...) and took a slight detour to Garden Inn to purchase bus tickets to KL for the coming Friday, Oct 4, evening. In the afternoon, went over to Ling²'s house to hang out with her. Her sis-in-law cum friend, Amy, was at home too... and so was Amy's newborn. He sure is one restless little tyke - he never seems to stop kicking and punching the air unless he is napping. Evening, Pam called to ask me if I wanted to go out clubbing with her and a few others.... but sadly I had to take a raincheck. My throat had started to feel rather scratchy since late afternoon.

Sun, 29 Sep: Argh! woke up with hardly any voice. It's official! I'm ill. Anyhow... after a bath - I took mum & gramps for lunch. After dropping gramps home, mum & I went to town to do an errand for my dad, do our banking (bless those many different transaction machines), & then a little bit of shopping around... Bumped into Mun Wye while at One Stop. Ended up having dinner with mum and "ta-pau" dinner for gramps. Didn't go to the clinic today 'coz I was trying to sit this out & see if the infection will subside.

Today: Yipes! Throat is not getting any better & I feel quite terrible. Dropped gramps at work - went home first (coz it was too damn early... clinics have yet to open) - sat a while - waited for mum since she wanted to come along so she could drop by the bank... the clinic is in the banking vicinity.

At the clinic, the doctor confirmed that I have a pretty nasty throat infection. I asked him if I should take MC for the day since I was afraid that I might infect my 7.5-months pregnant boss... and he decided to give me an MC...

Later, mum & I went for some breakfast... the workshop lady calls to tell me that the spare part for my car door has arrived (finally!!)... So, after breakfast, dropped by the workshop... my driver-side door is now cured!!

Finally at home again, I took my medication... and played Disc1 of the Power Puff Girls movie VCD but didn't finish watching it coz I kept dozing off. The medicine sure is some powerful stuff. Was knocked out for 4 hours. Had my lunch at 4pm.

Bummed around before going to take gramps back from his office... and came home to a 2nd dose of the knockout cure... As I'm finishing typing this on notepad... I feel... drowsiness.... hit..... me....... once...... a g  a   i    n

Twas just another day... another day at work... but wait a second!! It feels like... it smells like... it breathes like... it's... it's... IT'S FRIDAY!!! Yes, indeed-dee-doo-dah!

Being the 'genius' that I am, I've conveniently left a part of my brain at home today. It's the part called Shot Short Term Memory. Yup! I've done it again. I've left something important at home... yup...

Now the genius factor comes in - I now have a valid excuse to go out of office... especially since the items I forgot to bring are several copies of required pre-meeting reading material for a meeting on this coming Mon - and my colleagues definitely need them this weekend. Woo-hoo!

As such, they say the rest is history - thus yours truly ended up being out of office for a total of approximately 3 hours... that's total time spent travelling around, getting the books... and of course the icing on the cake was - I also get to go hang out with a few friends for lunch at Kayu.

Oh... and I finally had my Kopi Ais there too... so now I'm truly awake and caffeinated!! yip-pe-dee-doo-dah-HEY!

Traffic Report: Accidents never fail to hold up traffic. It happened again today - this time, along the first half of my route nearby the Island Glades intersection.

Car quirkiness status: My left side-mirror has somehow loosened out of its hold this morning *raises-an-eyebrow* It is currently being held in place with masking tape. It does a little jig when the car is moving... I just hope it doesn't just fall off while I'm on the road and just *plop!*

The icky: On the way to my office car park, I wondered what was holding up traffic at the last major junction before I reached my destination... Sad to say, what I have observed -- I definitely didn't want to stare at long enough to know the extend of brutality that had happened. All I saw was a Factory Bus; a motorcycle pinned under the middle section of the bus; and a bloke sitting in the bus was leaning against one of the bus windows -looking dumbfounded as he stared at the passing traffic. I definitely did not wanna stay to look out for any signs of blood on the road. Hopefully the motorcyclist had jumped off in time and got away with minimal injuries.

The good: Malcolm played host to Peky & I for lunch today. He picked us up from our respective offices to his house (oh yeah! He also sent us back to work). Lunch was well... chicken rice (which he bought along the way), some soup (which he cooked), & dessert was a spoonful of Nutella. After lunch, we hung around the house & he let us tinker with his latest toy - the X-Box... it has pretty good graffic rendering I should say...

Ah well, Peky & I would have loved to hang around and laze the afternoon away - but we had to go back to work. *sigh*... ah well...

Party! Ladies Night @ Shamrock: Picked up Jocelyn & we arrived exactly @ 9pm. Needless to say, the rest are as usual - LaTe. While waiting, both Joce & I called up Ying Lai who's in KL... we just wanted to bug her a little. Jamie arrived some 15 minutes later (her office is pretty nearby the pub actually)

Nearly 30 mins later, Fiona arrived with some friends & colleagues (they continued trickling in throughout the night); Chin arrived a little later; Su Jin even later (coz she waited for Erh-Pin & his brother who wanted to come along at the last minute); and lastly - Boon Hui & Rosalind. With the last arrivals, the group had somewhat grown rather huge that we filled up most of the top floor's seating.

The gals had free flow of cocktails from the bar... the guys had to order their own beer. Bless the people who had to hear us bergila-gila-ing and screeching out in glee each time someone made a toast. Some of us wanted to leave earlier around 11pm but we were all trapped inside since it had been pouring outside since 10.

Chin left the earliest at 12, soon after the rain subsided. The rest of us left Shamrock around 12:45... and then there was Joce, Jamie, moi, Suj, ErhPs & EhrPs' bro - who regathered at the mamak shop for some makan (and a little sobering up). Yeah... we also had a waiter who is definitely GAY (oh yeah... he flirted with the 2 guys & thought that ErhPs was Japanese... in which case - ErhPs started speaking a smattering of Japanese just to play along... *lol*)

Finally watched Signs last evening @ MegaPav, Prangin Mall - with Jase. Spilled some popcorn when Houdini the dog barked suddenly (when he started turning hostile). Crap. Last time I got a shock from the audio of a movie was while watching MIB - the part when the alien gets slammed into the glass panels... XP

Now... I feel like I'm shouldering some mega-weights on my shoulders. Gawd! My muscles do feel awfully stressed... ouch....

Additions at 3:53pm: I feel somewhat better now... la-la-di-da-dee-dum-dee-dum-dum... ooh... the big boss (a VP no-less) just came by and gave each of us a bar of Tim-Tam chocolate!! woo-hoo!! She's just full of surprises.

My oh my! Yesterday was full of physical activity (of the decent kind! what were u thinking?!) - In the afternoon, I was summoned to help out with the re-arranging of some furniture in mine & my parents room. Don't ask me why... I only know that it has something to do with the result of my dad's feng shui consultation.

Later in the evening, the exercise involved was more my kinda thing... swimming!! I finally managed to do 10 laps in an Olympic sized pool... hmm... me thinks it's time to establish a new target # of laps to hit.

Didn't sleep much last night tho' - could be because I wasn't used to the new sleeping location. I'm feeling quite awake now tho' coz perhaps I've managed to get loads of sleep over the weekend. Erm... the other thing is... I have some fresh-squeezed celery juice to drink today coz' me dad packed it into a 500 ml bottle for me... ish-ish... not the greatest tasting stuff but it's healthy stuff.

Took on a call to do 2 hrs of freelancing y'day evening in an office in Gurney Tower. Didn't have transport but as luck would have it, my friends and I had originally planned to go to Gurney to have a stroll before going to watch Bourne Identity at Island Plaza... with Vijaya being our driver this time round.

Nothing to complain about the freelance thing - the work was easy & there were a few guys worth looking at in there... engineers working over the weekend to complete a project. Pretty decent bunch of people - someone was playing mp3s - and there was the occasional sing-a-long to certain song choruses 'on air'

After earning my keep (enough for a movie, dinner, and a bit to keep) - I met up with Vij & Sze Lin once again. But first things first, we dropped Sze Lin home coz she she'd seen the movie already.

The movie was OK... tho' there were quite some cliches. Didn't enjoy it much cause I felt super-uncomfortable in my seat to the point of being nauseous. It was not very ergonomically designed. I now remember why I have reserves about going to the theatres in Island. After the movie, Vij was trying to analyze the irregularities in the movie plot when we were stuck in the infamous Gurney Drive traffic jam.

We headed to Cravan for dinner. As we were looking for a parking space, we're lucky to find quite a few empty spots... but when we saw someone leaving a spot nearer our makan-spot -- we waited for it to get out. Next thing I know, we are parked right in front of Daws' car. "Oi-vey! That fella is around here someplace!"... and so I made a call to find out where he was (the place was called Fusion & sounded very familiar to both Vij & I) - we tried looking for it but we didn't see it.

After Vij & I finished our dinner, we decided to walk around the area again... and suddenly there it was!! How could we have missed it the first time round? It's just right next to Cindy's mum's restaurant too! Gave him a call again as Vij & I were strolling along that little street... only when I saw him peeking out of the restaurant did I put down the call... we ended up chatting outside Fusion for quite a while before he went back in to rejoin his god-bro & pals... After which, Vij & I made our way home. Carpe Diem!

p/s: Interesting fact... Vij drives a Mini. Matt Damon drives a Mini in the car chase. Boy! Were we inspired to mengganas in Vij's Mini and barge thru the darn traffic!! *grins*

I had the most eventful drive last evening.

1. Saw 2 cyclist, both wearing helmets, darting around on one lane of a fast-paced road doing lawak bodoh... would have been perfectly excusable if not for the fact that they are dressed quite formally & they definitely don't look like some juvenile delinquents. They didn't stop being stupid until one old car honked at them.

2. I had to squeeze my way through a very narrow path. Stupid lorry double parked on one side on the road while on the other side there was this hawker cart parked... the lorry passenger came down and actually waved me to continue my journey. Geesh!! I had roughly only 1-2 inches left on each side of the car... damn takut to have scratched my car... I bet the BMW behind me was even more freaked out.

3. In traffic moving at snails-pace... I was following behind this bus kilang... then I heard weird, loud creaking noises! It sounded pretty creepy... ewwWww... then it happened! The bus put on emergency signals - it has broken down. Luckily I had put some distance between my car and the bus... if not I can just imagine that I would be stuck behind the bus for a long time... no one wanted to give way as usual (it did take me a while to barge my way into the other lane)...

Just noticed that I have the tendency to make calls from my mobile when I'm leaving the office to go to town to pick my grandpa up. Yesterday was a record-breaking feat for me. 3 calls. 1^st one was short; 2^nd was to Jase (about 10+ mins); and the 3^rd was to Pinky (about 15 mins).

Jase had plenty to say about his very productive shopping trip in KL... yes! He is a shopaholic and very proud of it. The call to Pinky started out on a more serious-note it soon became super-nonsense when Christopher (the one & only Mr.KDU Pg 2002) walked into the room where she was hanging out. She even passed her phone to him...

...and what did we talk about? Nonsense... pure crap & crazy talk about Pinky-supermodel-natural-catwalker-Kamino-Miss-Popular... though I did tease him for being Mr. KDU & that Pinky was doing a great job juggling "being popular, layan-ing her fans & being his Press Secretary/Personal Assistant"

Later last night, I took Pinky out for supper at Chulia Street since she's never been there before. Hung out there for quite some time. Even called Chris just to kacau him and say that "the food smells great & taste wonderful"... coz he was too busy to join us... hehe!

Also called Daniel, who's has been posted for work in Malacca for 4-5 mths, so we could "tanya khabar"... it's only his 3rd day there... though he said he'll be back every weekend... hmm... (poor chap is just adjusting now... though many of us are giving him calls like every other day to make sure he doesn't feel too lonely)

This morning... I was just plain bored outta my wits... ended up surfing the net... collected a few images... tweaked & compiled them into a teaser poster to sorta motivate Daws to work towards his intention to hold an exhibition on collector dolls... damn bored... but felt damn good to have designed a poster once again... after a 1 year hiatus of doing such stuff. *beams*

Had dinner with some schoolmates last night at Swiss Garden, Gurney Drive. The food there was *bleah*. Not recommended!! Hmm... let's see... who was there? Fiona, Chin2, Su Jin, Jamie, Jocelyn, Christine, Guat May! Yup... that's about it! :) Anyway... after makan & some chit-chat, we went over to Screwball for some pool, foosball, some drinks (I didn't drink) & more chit-chat.

Now, I'm still posting web-updates. Argh! OK! Major deadline to catch. Later people!

Morning log: sleepy... ZzzzZzz... *mumble,mutter,mutter* anNnnnd.... c-ch-c-cO-coLdddd.... *brRrrrr* *yawn-stretch-stretch* *plop!* zZzzzZzzzz

Morning Quiz (after I finally woke up):

The Tough Power Puff Take the Cartoon Hero Quiz?

After lunch: ^{*munch,munch*} yummy ciku!! ^{*grins like the cheshire cat*} _*ptui-ptui* (spitting seeds onto a tissue)

Saturday (14 Sep): Went to work in the morning. After lunch, dropped my grandpa off at the barber's before I went to collect my dad's bus ticket from the express bus' office at Kampungku. Ok fine... Next stop. Took my car to the workshop to get them mechanics to fix my central locking system... they had somehow disabled it... probably while they were fixing & testing my rear-lights. Told them to help me look into my jammed driver door too. Luckily I was smart enough to take a book with me... it sure was a long wait.

While still waiting in the workshop - my dad calls again... wants me to go all the way back to Kampungku to ask the girl in the shop to sell off the ticket!! WTF?!! I didn't have time to go back there... I mean WTF?!! He forgot that I have a mighty tight schedule today... and he did remind me to straighten up the house before my mum arrives home with him. At that time, I haven't even started my house-cleaning!!! By the time the car was ready, I had a total of roughly less than 2 hours for a major house-cleaning, eat my dinner, bathe, dress to go out, & pick up Deborah to go for 'The Continentals' concert at Trinity Methodist Church.

Before the concert started - gave Mun Wye a call to wish him "Happy Birthday!", tease him a little & talk crap. After the 2 hour concert, I went to pass the car to my parents who've just arrived from KL at Kampungku... after arranging for Daniel to meet me at Kampungku & the rest (Malcolm, Peky & Peky's 2 colleagues) to go up ahead to Coffee Bean @ BJC - before I left TMC. Yeah! We hung out there til about 12... nice :)

Sunday (15 Sep): Being a homebody in the morning is the name of the game... lunch outside... afternoon had heavy showers... did grocery shopping with mum & dad... evening - dropped off m'dad at Kampungku for his bus ride back to KL... watched a little TV... had dinner... went to find Pinky for a while... went to Prangin Mall Mega Pavilion to catch the 9:45 show of Lilo & Stitch on my own... 2 of my friends who earlier said OK had some last minute family stuff to attend to.

No Regrets! The Disney toon was worth watching in the Cinema!! Will wait for the DVD to come out... hehe... Stitch is cute (and fluffy!)

Major panic yesterday when I realised I may not have transport home -- in time to go for Irene's wedding dinner. In the end, worked it out & Kok Keong gave me a ride home... b4 he went to Shane's to freshen up. It was kinda freaky tho'... KK's brakes were not exactly in fine working condition. 1 hr later, Shane with KK in his car, came to pick me up & off we go!

At our destination, we waited for familiar faces - our other collegemates to arrive. Ended up feeding some mosquitoes too! Woo-hoo!!

The whole dinner thing was quite interesting... let's see... the emcee told Irene + hubby this when they were on stage... "When I say start - u start to kiss... BUT you do not stop until I say stop." Hehehe... but of course they cheated a little. Irene moved around to show her back to the camera for quite some time (oh yeah... there was a camera that was broadcasting the stage ongoings to a big screen!!)

Today: I will go get my car back today!!! yay!! carless no more shall I be!! ...erm, btw... forgot to bring my h/p out with me today... so... hopefully... not too many people call... or else... hell hath fury! Into the frying pan I'll be thrown into.

Evening news: Car is back... went to the tyre shop to check out my car's tyre alignment & condition. My 2 back tyres had to be changed - they are not fit 4 use anymore... not to mention - they both have huge nails in it. Wonder where they came from... *ponders*. My driver door suddenly couldn't be opened (at all!). I knew my door latch had problems... but it only gave way today. Dang. Gotta climb into the driver seat from the passenger-side.

Did I mention that I met up with the Kalamari? nO?! OK.... so I did meet up with him @ the Green Lane McD (he says the place now feels like the outlet in Bangsar). Ooh... kewl... an upmarket McD in the neighbourhood. Ah heck... not much of a novelty anyways *rolls-eyes*. Am too used to it already.
