MIBC 2008 - it's Malaysia International Bakery & Confectionary 2008.

we were there to check out the amazing creations of the participants and exhibitors. among the programmes on that day was a 'pulled sugar' demo by Chef Leslie from Shangri-La Hotel, we were there only to catch him forming the body of the supposed to be phoenix.. but our legs couldnt take the waiting.. so we left.. hmm i wonder how does the end result looks like..

what a Monday

first came the great Sunday , then the crappy Monday..

started the day really early, and went out to gym. was just in time for Body Combat class, and it was a great one hour of workout.. did some weights and off to the showers. am getting ready to greet the sale ! stopped by at Nicchi and bought a black dress, it was really simple but nice.. and it was a bargain, it was only RM42! and verdict is - a woman should always have a LBD in her closet.

met up with Delores and did some catching up, talked and talked..bitch bout some things and then said some nice things bout people.. have to balance it mer.. am learning from a wise old friend that we should not say anything negative.. ( at least that's what Delores said ! haha)

after much window shopping later, we said our byes and headed home separately. Dropped by the supermarket to buy some veggies, fruits and milk. Must start eating healthy, no more curried rice for lunch! hmmph...

Then came my 'lovely' Monday, dragged myself out of bed, and made my way to work. Whole body was aching from the combat class, the phrase lacking of exercise is highlighted in red right in front of me.. Pulled through the day, and was all looking forward to 5.30pm, it had to pour heavily, just when i want to head home early.
The rain stopped bout 6+, and we left the office at 7pm, and took a slow walk to Hang Tuah station. Eversince Yi Ling shifted there, been walking there more often, well it's a pretty good opportunity to exercise more, especially on the days that i skipped gym to have dinner ! muahaha..

At KL sentral, i managed to catch the 8am train which was waiting at the platform, and i was thinking "goody, i can get home by 8.30, have my dinner, and hit the sack". The train travelled through the stations smoothly, and just before the Kepong station, it HAD to stop.. to beri laluan to another train it seems..crap... the train was halted for more than 15 mins.. and i only got down at 9pm.. so dumb..
Mom wasn't particularly in a good mood, so had to put up with her lashing in the car.. and it went on and on till we reach the doorstep of my house. sigh.. wrong timing mom..

after finishing off the chores that i usually do without being told.. i ate my 2 pieces of kuih bakar and milo ais.. and off to my room i went..

i seeked comfort in my cozy pillow and bed.. my sanctuary it is...

Day out with my girls..

Weekend started with Month End @ Mojo on Asian Heritage Row.
It was just so so, food was ok, drinks sucks and the place is so small. would have like the place if i was there with a small group of friends.. but for a company event. tsk tsk

Left at 8.30 with Yi Ling and head to Borders to lepak a bit, while deciding what to do on Saturday.
Had a plan - to go lepak on Saturday, just us - the girls, but .. there was no plan. no destination in mind, no foodie places to check out.. hmm..

came Saturday, met up with Lay Yen and Yi Ling @ sg wang at 10.30 - the penang Zhabo wants to sleep a while more, so she ditched us for her bed.. with some simple directions by beloved daddy, i brought them to Yut Kee @ Dang wangi for breakfast..
We sat down and ordered a choice of main dish each, but the orders went on and on, till the table was all full with plates of food. We had the fish porridge, curry mee, the ever famous Roti Babi , toast, steamed bread, half boiled eggs, kaya roll and butter cake.. and to wash it down - a yummy kopi ping !







After breakfast, we headed to Sogo, a fickle me then suggested Mid Valley instead. after 15 mins, we found a parking spot, and head right into the mall. Tak jadi wanna watch a movie as the queue was too darn long. so it was a shopping trip then.. much to my delight !

Mz Zhabo came by around 3.30pm, and after some shopping, we went to Kim Gary for some food and camwhoring.

Left MV at bout 6, having dinner with mi familia, have not had dinner with mom+dad for some time d. *gulp* There was a massive crowd at the KTM station, oh well, what's new.. there was a girl whose phone was nicked right from her hands.. but it was just too crowded, she couldn't make out the person who took it. poor girl..

Had pre-dinner at home - DURIANS ! then headed to Jln Kuching for dinner, it was yummy ! a simple fare but great food it was ! and it's worth the price ..

Didn't do much at home, just watched some drama and went to bed early.. tired d.. my bro went out for movie at 12am.. while i rather crawl in my soft comfy bed. signs of me getting old..

thought of the day :girls, stop callin me Mom.. sigh

my kopi ping

nothing starts my day with a good dose of kopi ping ! and sometimes it makes a good nightcap. huh? coffee for a good nightcap? hehe ..caffeine only keeps me awake when i want it too :P

ta pau-ed my kopi ping from wisma cosway, though it's not as strong as the other stall on this side of the road, but oh well, that will do. it's 30 cents cheaper anyways.

am looking forward to tomorrow.. cos it's month end drinks and it's also the weekend ! am thinking of what i should do on Saturday, been meaning to catch up with Patricia, whom I've not seen for a long long time..i think the last time i saw her was when i bumped into her at Mid Valley.

There seems to be a lot happening on my calendar for the next 2 months, but the most looked forward to event will be Cousin Jared's wedding. on 08.08.08 hmm.. nice no, the chinese would say " go buy ToTo". His whole family has migrated to Canada many many years ago, but all the relatives are here in Malaysia, hence the wedding reception in KL. hmm.. i wonder if there would be other ceremony like a usual Chinese wedding since the reception in on a Friday night.
Can't believe his is getting married already, the lil older brother who used to watch cartoons and play Legos with me. well ,he is just one year older than me, so it makes him only 25.

i like attending weddings, cos everything looks so nice, the couple looks so sweet, the dress is beautiful.. but somehow the idea of marriage..hmm.. is kinda scary. not knowing when and who is the candidate that will be spending the rest of your life with you, or worst, not knowing you want to spend the rest of your life with the person if you are with now. well that is assuming there will not be a divorce..
shoo.. to the negative thoughts..
and back to my kopi ping...and work of course..

Hancock was a good watch, though it was a 92 mins movie, but i think it was pretty well written. and we had a good dinner too, opted to give Marrybrown a try, and coincidentally, with GSC tickets, we are entitled to a 20% off the bill, plus they give you a buy 2 free 1 voucher for GSC tickets. talk about a win-win situation.. both wins for us that it. hehe

hmm am feeling a lil emo again.

how can things be so great at one moment, and suddenly so messed up the next?

what really went wrong, the understanding or the communication skills? if it is the comm skills, whose role is it to improve?

sigh.

hate awkwards conversations that end with quick judgements.. hate it...
