my new card

my 7th credit card just came in de mail yesterday!! hehehe...

every card dat i've gotten is based purely by de looks, i know, how shallow...

but i beg to differ!!! a card is a card is a card u know... if it looks good comin out of my purse can't hurt rite? well it hurts de bank account... sure... but i gotta look good while spendin to look good, y'know??

anyways, i'm a bit reluctant to publish my card online... u can nvr be too paranoid y'know with all de fraud cases n all... but i can't resist this. so here it is, de latest plastique family member:

this is wat i hated about it tho... they went n covered james' eye!! he ain't no pirate y'all... can't u guys at least rotate de photo a tiny bit? it makes me sad... now i gotta go do some cheer-me-up shoppin... but i'm not gonna use this card, hah!!

anniversary weekend getaway

last friday, we had an anniversary weekend getaway to de Legend Water Chalet in Port Dickson. it was a short relaxin holiday for both of us... we drove there via de "old roads", it felt like a real road-trip!! along de way, we saw lots of dragon fruit trees but no fruits in sight, perhaps we could get some in PD.

we reached de resort at about 3pm and checked in. de room was very nice... there's a huge bath tub, a shower with a sky roof and a balcony for u to chill out n do some fishin or crabbin (seriously... it says so on de buletin board at de lobby!! "rent a cage for crabbing")

de chalet had a glass panel on de floor so we could see de sea... not much action goin on below our chalet tho... no sea monster swimmin by, no mermaid tappin on de glass, nuthin. however, u could stand over de glass panel like i did n pretend dat u're floatin over de sea...


de nice thing about this trip for us is dat it was totally just for us to relax, so we did not rush out of de chalet once we got there... we did not need to go to de beach just yet, we did not need to do any sight-seein, we did not need to try any good food... so we just decided to do a movie marathon instead!! we're pretty far behind on our tv series watchin, so we decided to catch up on "Medium".

later dat nite, we headed to de hotel coffee house for dinner. we had pizza... while watchin de movie that was playin in de theatre corner... after dinner, it was back to more "Medium"...

de next mornin we woke up n got ready for de beach. we drove around lookin for de perfect beach to go to. james' supervisor is from PD and he suggested we try de Bayu Bay Resort's beach. we got a little lost tryin to find de beach but in de end we finally found it, however it was close to noon so after a little walk on de beach, we decided to head into town in search of dragon fruits... those buggers are really hard to find, so i came to a conclusion dat it was not in season yet so we'll just leave it at dat.

while in PD town we had lunch and shopped at de RM2 shop there. bought some canned drinks for later at nite 2 for RM2, mentos also 2 for RM2 and a pack of kuaci for "Medium" marathon! after dat james decided we should head back to de resort to rest, coz goin to de beach at this hour i'll probably be fried extra crispy!

we headed back out for de beach around 4pm, perfect time... no more scorchin sun!! on de drive der, de sky turned dark n looked like it was gonna rain... but we still went ahead anyways, no rain is gonna stop me from buildin my sand castle!! i brought my equipment all de way here ok!!



luckily it didn't rain, i got to build my castle n visited a few crabs... all in all, a good day at de beach! on de way back to de resort, we saw a little bazaar n decided to stop there for a lil' look-see! ada pasar malam la... so we bought some ayam percik, longans, kebabs n fried mushrooms... dinner covered!!

dat nite after we finally finished our whole season of "Medium", james continued wif his NBA games n i got busy wif my Wii... i think i have at least 10 pending Wii games... so many games, so little time... james dozzed of in de middle of his game n in de midst of cookin on my Wii, i heard fireworks goin off outside... so i woke him up n ran out to de balcony! fireworks!! weeeeeeeeeee......... fireworks for our anniversary!!!


de plan was to swim at de hotel pool next mornin, but wen we got up around 9am we decided to just screw it, sleepin in is so much betta..... we checked out at noon. we're so goin back there again next time, plus there's a phase 2 work in progress at de resort n i spied a private pool to each room!!! definitely a must try!! dun get ur hopes up too much for this place tho', i had a nice experience coz i wanted a relaxin getaway, another friend who went said it was too borin, de hotel pool is too small, de food sucks n de whole shebang did not go down well wif him... so, it might not be everybody's cup of tea.

on de drive back, we stopped by at cyberjaya to pick up sumthin from a friend n i decided we should go to Mines! wat betta way to end our anniversary weekend den to visit de place wer we used to go pak-toh-ing... lots of facelift done to de mall, it looks so much nicer now!!

why women are great

got this in de mail this mornin from james...

he also just realised it this mornin on de way to work dat it was our anniversary yesterday... and being de person who does not delete anythin in her mail (only spams are deleted) i tracked back to a mail i received about de time wen we "went steady"...

it's official!!! we've been together for 6 years!! it was 2003 wen it all began!! hahahaha.... mystery solved... women ARE great!!

and yes thank you to my ever expanding mailbox too (yahoo!)... AND did u know, i even have mails in there from 2001 (yikes!).....

this was taken way back in 2006, we had lunch at this japanese place called "Genji" at PJ Hilton. it was a farewell lunch for a colleague... 5 of us girls were clownin around de whole time n makin so much noise too! fortunately we were placed in the private tatami dining rooms so damage to de lady-like rep was kept at a minimal...

oooh.... look at my ol' skool phone man!! at dat time it was de COOLEST phone i had, sebab ada camera lor... wassup!!

eggs are no longer boring

hard boiled eggs are no longer de same as they were!! some time ago i got into de sushi makin craze, den as i explored a lil' more, i found bento! food made cute...

anyways, long story short... i found out dat u can actually mould eggs into wat eva shape dat u wan!! fancy dat!! i was just a few clicks away from buyin those mould online wen i decided to google more about it 1st... i mean, wif all this japan-crazed ppl here in m'sia, i'm sure there has to be an easier way to get it other than ebay n all those online shops...

lo n behold!! i found a few mentions about the moulds bein sold in "100 yen" shops and also "daisho" in de curve... so durin de weekend, i made james drive me all de way to de nearest 100 yen shop (ss2) to get my mould! n i found it! for only RM4.90!! can u imagine?!!? if i bought it online it would have cost me RM12.00 not includin another RM6.00 for postage... gosh!!

i got de fish n car mould... dats de only one available in 100 yen ss2, will try to check out daisho next as my next mould target is de star n heart shape wans.
