Day out with Trace

It's my off day! It's a day for shopping and catching up with my bestie. Trace is back from NZ for Chinese New Year, knowing that I won't get to see her till next year, a shopping trip is a must! We spent the whole day walking around Times Square and Sungei Wang. Sometime, it's amazing how each of our shopping trip feels exactly like all the previous ones, the shops around us might change, but I always enjoyed every moment of our outings.

Trace & I are almost the complete opposites in many things, she loves cats while I dislike them.(Trace, I only put up with them because u like them). Her idea of a holiday is to stay home and watch drama, while I want to sit on green grass and enjoy the sun. She is a vegetarian, while I can't live without my dose of meat.

These are just lil things to start with, there are many more things that we are just the complete opposites, but at the same time, ironically, we find common spots in many things. We both love shopping, TVB and mamak food, and many more. We have been friends for 10 years, she is one the best listener, one who doesnt judge but offers rational advices, one who supports my decision although she doesn't get it sometimes. She is the best BFF I can ever ask for, 10 years and still counting. I only hope for her to find happiness in her life, wherever she is. ( PS: I hope she will find her Mr.Right soon too!)

Pinchos & Reggae Bar

Today is a public holiday, hence the partying last night !

Well, it wasn't that much of a party, but it was a girls night out. Patricia and I have not seen each other for a long time, for at least a month? Well, we make it a point to meet up at least once a month, it was supposed to be a trio gathering, but let's leave that out of the picture for now.

Last night, Patricia brought me to Pinchos, a Spanish pub along Changkat Bukit Bintang. We ordered some tapas, and she had a glass of Sangria while I tried the Peach Sangria. It was a mixture of white wine with peach syrup/liquer. I still prefer the one in La Bodega. We sat at the bar, and I was fascinated by the slab of ham sitting in front me! And then I remembered what darling told me, this must be the Serrano ham! The layers of fat around the pork leg was at least 2 inches thick, mmm I can almost imagine the creamy taste of the ham slices..

After 2 drinks and some good chat, we left Changkat and headed home. On the way home, we passed by Reggae Bar, and thought we'll make a stop since I have never been there. It was a nice cozy bar, reminds me of the hippy bar in Queenstown! Ah, the backpackers lifestyle.. One last drink of vodka puts a cap to the night. And so we went home as happy as a doll.

How many different person are you?

It's Monday. I seriously wished I am not here. I wish I could *zap* myself to somewhere with a hot sunny beach, me sipping on a cold drink, and getting a tan. Ah, the ideal holiday. Can't wait for the next one.

I was doing some observations today at work, and suddenly I pondered on a question,

"How many different personalities does one have?"

I gave it a thought, and I figured " It is a theory that applies to everyone of us. Like it or not, we all wear a different mask each day, and different ones with different people that we meet. It is not a matter of hypocrisy, but it is almost a survival skill. Being in the hospitality industry, we put on smiling face and a "never say no" policy to most guests and clients, but would we apply the same with our colleagues and friends? Sometimes, even with our friends, we are a different personality all together, with one, we could go all crazy and wild, with another, we could be domestic and quiet.

So, how many different personalities do you have?

A lil emo Sunday

It's a Sunday, and I'm, having post weekend blues already.

Went out for a lovely date with darling yesterday. We went to D'Tandoor for some north Indian cuisine. The food was mediocre, and I wouldn't say that I'll go back there anytime soon. Have to keep hunting for some good indian choms, next on the list is Malabar Palace, in Hartamas Shopping Centre. After dinner, we went to Tropicana City Mall to jalan-jalan. I have only been there once, and the thought of looking at some new shops and a new place was fun! There was a bazaar on Ground Floor, and I spotted this cute handbag, unfortunately the owner of the stall was not there, so I did not find out the price. After a cup of yoghurt from Tutti-Fruiti, and some shopping later, we dropped by the stall again. This time, the lady was there, and she said the bag was RM30 for one, since I couldn't decide between yellow or black, I bought both, for RM45 only! Think I got a bargain there ;)

After TCM, we went back to Kepong MBO to catch The Tourist at 10.15pm. MBO at Kepong Village Mall has become our new favourite cinema, it's huge, spacious, and queue free ! Oops, better not speak too soon, don't want it to be too crowded. The movie was a good watched mainly because Angeline Jolie & Johnny Depp were in there, individually, that is, as I found no chemistry at all between them. I can't wait for the final sequel of Pirates of the Carribean! Ooh la la..

Am feeling a little emotional today, been having some crappy thoughts about my life, basically I just needed that extra bit of assurance. I try not to cloud myself with these thoughts as I know it's unhealthy, but at the same time, I can't eliminate the fears completely. Am learning to be more positive, and speaking out my mind helps.

Good night for now.

a short break

It's Tuesday, and I'm sitting at home. Wheee...........

Daddy & Mommy are away in Vietnam, and I'm in charge! *grins*

Took 3 days off from work to sort out some chores, and luckily, got my appointment at the dentist. So, that's a few things off my list. It was a good few days rest at home, it was good to take my mind off work and everything else.

Mommy is coming back tomorrow, and then I'll be back to work. At least I'll be all fresh and ready to face the challenges at work !

Finding my way back into love...

Was reading sissy's blog, and she posted the song Accidentally in Love, I totally *heart* that song too !

And so I wanna post up this song as well, because it carries a special meaning for me.

New Years' Day Bake

Happy New Year 2011!

It's a brand new year, a brand new start to everything. Well at least everything. I have not written down my 2011 resolutions yet. It's quite a cliche to do so, however, I guess it works like a motivation for us to achieve certain things in the next 365 days. Hrmm, there are quite a few at the back of my mind. And it brings a smile to my face to know that many things will be achieved by us.

It's nice and sunny outside, and a good day to stay home and be fully domesticated ! It calls for some baking ! Made some cheese tarts with the tart shells that Aunty Wendy gave me, baked a marble cake for darling, and some muffins :)
