Banana. Not so.

Hello world. The second-half of last week has been a crazy ride.

Anyways, had many weird and funny moments while working/passing time. It was the weekend, many families and friends hit the mall to spend time together or to get their shopping list cut off one by one. On Saturday, there was a bunch of Singaporeans having a shopping spree. Seriously, one look and you could tell they are Singaporeans. So they were looking very amused staring at the toothbrushes and the man asked me, "Got Oral B three sixty ah, three sixty, three sixty. I want medium one. Aiyoh, damn cheap lah here. Singapore ah.. Got or not, three sixty." My god, I didn't know whether to laugh or what. Haha. Then another lady, his friend who saw him buying so many toothbrushes, asked, "Hey miss ah, got Super hard one or not? Soft one not good la, too soft. Got hard one ah?" After that, I had to explain about the Clear Anti-dandruff Shampoo. The man went, "Miss, got any shampoo for my son ah. His hair very oily la. What's that shampoo..Rain advertise one, not this girl(referring to Dee Hsu or Xiao S). Owh, got free bag ah? I want nice colour one ah, don't want so 'niang' one, pink colour..yer." Lol.

And, omg, I got so excited when I saw it. I've been looking around for it since that drama was aired on tv. And so far, I've only seen a miniature of it, a keychain. Nothing like this one, it was the real thing. Exactly the same. Omg.. And that little girl was cuddling it so tightly when she realised I was staring at her. Ahh. It was so adorable, no one could resist I tell you, especially when that girl herself is so cute already, and cuddling it some more. Aww..

Rawh. It was Pig Rabbit. :)

Okay, pulling myself away from that, yesterday, I encountered the 'friendliest' dudes ever. They came in, walked straight to my direction and bombarded me with questions, in Mandarin. :'(. You have no idea how my self esteem is being scrapped down bit by bit every time I need to speak Mandarin. But I've been learning, slowly. There were times I was forced to speak Cantonese and Hokkien too. So that two dudes, lots of Mandarin, too much, too fast. Somehow, I finally got it. Scar reduction gel. One down, one more to go. He wanted something to reduce the oiliness of his face. I recommended Garnier Men, I know about it cause my bro uses it, it's pretty effective. They, they were speaking like I've been their friend for years!, seriously. They tapped my shoulder and elbow, joked around, spoke so loudly, like friends you know. After they paid, they walked away saying bye bye to me. Wow. 

Mr. Chong was in yesterday. The random-est conversation again. :)

MC: So you gonna have McDonalds for dinner again? What you usually eat here?
Me: No, my mom brought food just now so..
MC: Wa..homecook food ah.
Me: Nolah, tapao..
MC: Owh okay, the food here.. the food court food sucks! So I usually eat at Subway. *grin*
Me: *eyes wide open* Seriously??
MC: *shakes head**dead serious tone* Seriously. You never tried them before?
Me: No..
MC: You should give it a try some day.
Me: Okay..

The thought of giving food court food a try immediately died and buried. My other workmates often eat there so I thought it wasn't that bad. Better not take the risk. The best part was, he had never heard of Taylor's. He had never ever heard of Taylor's. He knows Sunway, Monash, IMU and not Taylor's. Not a Klang-ite for sure. But..how could.. never mind. Tonight is my greatgrandma's birthday dinner. Guess how old is she. :D. Your eyeballs will pop out. Will blog again about it with pictures, maybe. 

I meet many types of people every day and I thought, I don't think I will ever meet the exact same kind of person again, will I. Everyone is special and beautifully different in their own ways. It's impossible to find someone exactly the same with the people we've known before, loved and even hated. Even if we do, our hearts can tell the difference.

The lesson of the day, wrinkle in Mandarin is 'cho wen'. :)
Good day, amigos.

Even angels learn to fly

Off day is a bliss but it makes you lazy. Well, working is kinda enjoyable, a new experience I would say. Ms. Tan is a nice person but strict when it comes to business. Mr. Chong is the joker, seriously. When there isn't any customers, he'll get up from his seat, walk around and chat with us at the cashier. He's funny, he doesn't look at you directly at your face when he talks and his facial expressions, you could really laugh out loud and he speaks really fast too. And Ms. Prema, she is one graceful woman who speaks the most ladylike and royal way you could ever imagine. Crimson red lipstick and deep mascaraed eyes, enough to make you feel like you have to walk with your heads down in front of her. And my other workmates, Eva, As, Afi, Ros, Yati and Farith. They're all very nice, helpful and easy to work with.

Last Sunday was a special day. Yen, you're most welcomed :). You don't have to thank me, just make sure your health is always at a tiptop condition and may you enjoy a good life, woman. God bless you. 

After spending the afternoon with Yen and her mom, I walked around alone and met a few familiar faces. So sweet weh.. so envious. Lol. Anyways, five of us had dinner together then me and the lil' one belanja-ed dessert and we went for movie. Water for Elephants, the queen's pick :D. Robbert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz were the stars in it. It wasn't the pale-looking face and stiff cold body Edward. It was a total different him but I'm still not a fan of his, yet. It was a good show despite the 30 minutes delay. Like what its tagline says, "Life is the most spectacular show on earth." A circus. Most people's first impression of it is happy, lively, laughters, fun, joy. But what's behind it. What's behind the happy faces those performers had to put on to bring others happiness? It's a circus production..

Mom, thank you. Thank you for everything.. There's no words to describe how grateful and thankful I am to have her, to be able to go to her and call her 'Ma' every time I need something and so much more. I came across this in SYH.

     At first I hobbled on my crutches to the bathroom. But I couldn't lever myself down off them onto the toilet without the fear of falling. I wound up balancing on one foot and urinating into an empty coffee mug, and then I collapsed back on the bed and called my mother.
I'm sorry. I sobbed. I'm helpless.
     That's where you're wrong, she told me. You're not helpless. You need help. There's a big difference.

Last night was a mess. These past few nights were. I teared in my dream. No, I dreamt till I teared. Wiped off those tears and got back to sleep, thinking was it real. I don't know..

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Timebomb

I know it's kinda delayed but I hadn't had the time or opportunity to blog so often nowadays. I'm on an afternoon shift today so I thought I'll get things done. No more delaying and procrastination. 

22nd April, we four went to the historical city, Malacca. It was quite a last minute plan, as usual. Not to see the historical buildings or know more about our country's history but to savour the delish food there. :) For breakfast, we had dim sum, lunch was the famous chicken riceball, dinner was satay celup and lots of desserts and snacks here and there along the busy Jonker Street. Yea, we ate A LOT.


Tan Kim Hock's durian cendol. Disappointing betul.
















We stayed at the Everly Resort Hotel. A-ma-zing. The room was super spacious and me and the lil' one had the whole room all by ourselves. Actually, they had a promotion and the platinum suite which was originally RM900 something a night became RM170 a night. Crazy deal. 





I don't know why, instead of resting before dinner, we both got so excited watching football. 



Imagine you're in a tunnel all alone, nobody's there to save you. You're at the edge of giving up everything; hopes, dreams, career, friends, family, life. Suddenly you see a light shining at the other end of the tunnel. It brings you enormous hope, like a second chance to live was thrown at you out of the blue. But you reach there only to find a big pot of hot boiling magma in front of you.. Would you still want to live with hope?

If you're wondering what is this, it's a light bulb :)



Jonker Street begins right here. Start.

Managed to get one snap before the lady asked me to keep my camera.



I was so amazed by this machine. Many people were actually. I almost asked the guy where can I buy one of that. It's a new trend of enjoying potato snacks I guess. It's called Tornado Chips.




Walking down the old shophouses when the sun was going down was indeed a good experience. Took advantage of the stunningly beautiful lighting by taking loads of snaps.








We queued for a good 75 minutes before we get to land our butts on the white plastic chair in the restaurant and waited for another 10 minutes for them to prepare the thick peanut broth. The queue was really crazy, everyone was with their iPhones or Blackberries and cameras of course. 








Went swimming the next morning before leaving for Port Dickson. Cut into Seremban for their famous beef noodle and beefballs then checked into The Legend Water Chalets Resort in PD.




The interior design was very..green. The walls, the pillowcase, the curtains. the mirror pane. And there were many unique-looking decorations. Kinda gives us the country feel. The best part was the waking up to the sound of water splashing and the gorgeous view when you look out of the window. The morning sunbeam greets you with great warmth and all you wanna do is lay peacefully at the balcony.




















The beach! :D






Mum's and dad's dwelling spot when they were young :P



THE YATCH CLUB. I wanna own one of that someday and go out sailing with whoever to wherever and whenever I want. After I retire. =)




Porsches everywhere you go. 



King Bun. 25 bucks each.







More swimmings then sauna.









That is all. :)
Gotta go for work now. Bye bye.
