Hmmmm...

What happens when you cheat on your wife...and she finds out???
This happens...

Life Is Just Not Fair...

How super cool is this???

Having a famous somebody joining you for a typical Malaysian dinner? No fuss. No drama. Just a simple dinner you normally have when you invite some friends over.

The menu would looked something like this:

Steamy hot white rice, chicken curry in thick coconut gravy, chicken cooked in bamboo aka manok pansuh, wild fern fried with shrimp paste, seafood tom yum and for dessert bubur caca. For drinks we just go for the basic beer. (Ok, not the healthiest menu, but hey I did say Malaysian dinner…)

Anyways, with that oh so famous person sitting on the same table with you, could you really be eating?? I mean, I would personally be star struck & behaving on my best behavior so as I wouldn’t actually be embarrassing myself.

And the conversation…What would you be talking about?

The weather;
Me: So, how do you find the weather here in Malaysia
Famous guest: It’s a bit warm.
Me: Ok…

About work;
Me: So, how’s work?
Famous guest: Been a bit hectic.
Me: Ok….

About food;
Me: So, how do you like the food?
Famous guest: The curry is a little bit spicy & salty…
Me: Ok….

As I was saying, I will be star struck…

Well, needless to say, this happened to my sister…


Yup, Ms Gwen Stefani together with her super kuwaiii hubby came to dine with her & her friends at their place…

She’s not even a big fan.

I’m soooo jealous right now

The Screwdriver Story

This happened yesterday. Now I don't know to laugh about it or to kill this person cos it's just that hilarious, it's annoying...

Yesterday, my friend and I decided to chilled for a while after work. So, off we go to this new lounge, all nice & cosy. After finding a place to sit & making ourself comfortable.....

Waitress: Are you ready to order your drinks now?
(me, whispering to my friend)
Me: Let's be adventures & drink an alcoholic beverages instead of our normal koka kola
Friend: OK...
(me to waitress)
Me: All righty then...I'll have a Screwdriver.
Friend: Yea, me too
Waitress: ok, 2 screwdriver coming up..(then proceed to walked towards the bartender)

A minute later...
Waitress: Excuse me miss...the bartender would like to ask.... What's a Screwdriver?

Now, you would think, being a bartender, no matter how inexperience you are, one is expected to know at least popular drinks like this. After all, why did your employer hired you at the first place....(unless of course it's nepotism)
My friend being a sarcastic person that she is, proceed to give instruction on how Screwdriver is being prepared...

Friend: Ok, you better write this down...

Cara-cara Membuat Screwdriver
Bahan-bahan yang diperlukan.

1. Rock glass atau gelas batu
2. Ice cube atau ketulan ais
3. Orange juice atau jus oren
4. Vodka (preferably Smirnoff)
5. Orange slice as garnish atau hirisan oren (optional)

Mula-mula, letak beberapa ketulan ais ke dalam gelas. Seterusnya, masukkan 1/4 Vodka ke dalam gelas tadi. Campur bersama 3/4 jus oren kedalam gelas. Kacau sebati. Akhir sekali masukkan hirisan oren sebagai hiasan.
The End.

As she's writing the instruction down..
Waitress: ..........sebagai hiasan....OK, I'll go and tell the bartender now..(then off she went....)

After that clear simple instruction, one would expect to get their drink in no time but...
31 seconds later;

Waitress: Excuse me miss...We ran out of Orange Juice. MANGO JUICE can or not???
Friend & I: ??????!!!!!

Needless to say, after much deliberation, we end up ordering our good old koka kola. The first & the last time....

The Sound of Music

Don't you just love The Sound of Music. I swear no matter how many times I watched it, it's like watching it for the first time. The way Julie Andrews twirl and sing and dance on the mountain, without a care in the world. It just makes me feeling so happy & glee.
I watched it again ( for the 11th time) last Saturday & I have to say I love the way Ms. Andrews enunciates her words. She makes you speak proper English & to sit up straight. She also makes you wanting to take singing lesson just so that you can sing like her.
Every song in the movie transported me to another world. Like when Liesl and Rolf sang at the gazebo....sigh..so romantic.
Or when Ms Andrews sang 'My Favourite Things'... you wished it would rain, so you could just curl up in bed & sing to that song.
Or when she danced with Kapten Von Trapp, you couldn't help but imagining that it was you dancing in that scene.
It's one of those feel good movie that you'll never get tired off......

Titleless (if there is such word)...

Ever wander why we looked forward to weekends & when it finally arrived, there's nothing to do but sit around & wandering what to do? I love Friday cos it's the last work day of the week & usually meant it's clubbing night. & every Friday morning I never fail to have some kind of plan to go out that night...

where to go?
who to call?
what to wear?
what to drink/eat?...the list goes on.

But towards 5pm, my brain shuts down & I will be too tired to go anywhere but home. Nothing beats chilling at home after a hard day at work.

Just Cause

I've been meaning to blog for a few days now but couldn't really find anything worth mentioning. It's all routine with no drama. How lah to meet people like this? It's home-office-home... no detour cos there's absolutely no where worth going & doing. Even meeting up friends seemed routine. We go out, makan-makan, talk about work then balik. Married friends pulak, everytime meet up keep talking about single great guy a friend of a friend that you MUST meet.

How come they become matchmakers after they got married? Do married people received some kind of secret power of matchmaking as soon as they said 'I Do'?

It's irritating to say the least. At least, if they meant well, match make me with a handsome manly dude. At least if he can't speak well or if there's no intellectual attraction, he's nice to look at. Paling-paling pun can play a musical instrument (recorder, kustenet & kerenching not included), preferbably guitar. At least he can serenade me which an acoustic piece.

I really, really need to get myself a new set of friends...

or a manly hunky like tis taken with my friend...
