Gamarjobat

Listening to: Melanie C feat Left Eye Lopez - Never be the same again
Feeling: Tired as usual



Just got back from Gamarjobat . Fantastic, fantastic damn effing fantastic. 2 man show, no props, no dialouge... Just damn good acting skills with absolute fantastic comic timing...

Seriously, miss this and regret until next year OK.... I was laughing so hard I couldn't see what they were doing cause my eyes were closed! Tears streaming down my face and mouth agape. A nice sight that is~

They will be performing at Bangsar Actor's Studio until the first week of Feb so, JUMP now and check out www.gardnerandwife.com for their sched!

Go watch this and understand what art is alright?

Meanwhile I shall stop writing nonsense and go to bed before my laptop starts emitting smoke from my crazy rants...

BTW, Joethecarebear... it was crazy bumping into you because the man sitting behind you was like thinking I am trying to hit on him when I was doing the eye over the room.. Man... my skankiness never fail to amaze me~

Dreams that make me

Listening to: Twista feat. Mariah Carey - So Lonely
Feeling: Like I want it to be Friday night all over again.


It's Sunday evening and as usual, am stressing about work tomorrow. Just got a court order to appear in court on the 24th for the robbery that happened three years back. Talk about system right? I've got a shoot on that very same day. Stressing now....

It's a lovely Sunday; all bright and lovely but all I can do is stay home. Am drinking a cup of Earl Grey now and reminiscing about Camerons. I wish the cold weather applies here too. Think about the electricity that we'll save. I wish I can retire there someday *I know I say this every time I come back from a holiday* and write my book. I've been saying this for the longest time but I've always wanted to write one. Still haven't started on it yet but I have more than enough material for one.

Am wishing again but I wish I have enough money to stop my job and write my book at home. Write comic books story lines, write drama series plots... Too big a dream? Maybe, but I have the drama to relate to. Wish me luck to have the courage to start this one!

I've always admired people like Obachan for their determination to do something so well. Read her blog and you'd understand what I mean. She's working a few jobs and still manage to cook, photograph and paint watercolour paintings! When can I have the discipline to do such a thing? Sigh...

Feeling lazy now and I am supposed to work. SICK of working... Shall watch Dr. Black Jack before I start writing my wonderful article!

It's Freaking Flyday

Listening to: Tangga - Akhir yang indah
Feeling: Like I wanna go home!

It's Friday and I've just realized that it's another week gone. Just like that... Without even blinking... God, how come so freaking fast wan?

Anyways, it was a pretty slow week I have to say. Slow in the sense that nothing much happened. Of course, there is SarahN's Birthday Big All day. Had dinner at Paris and went for a little drink after that at Hartamas.


I know, I know... That's pretty boring but like how SarahN would say,

'Haiya, 25 already how you want to celebrate? Go clubbing mer? That's so 21!'

LOL! Totally agree on that! I mean, the day I turn 25 I would want to have all my friends to have dinner with me... No need to nice nice la... I don't really like fancy fusion shit anyway. Best if it's just normal Chinese or if they have the extra cash then we can do Japanese... Truly know how it's like to have a dozen friends having their birthdays on the same month...

After that, we go yamcha at Kayu or something also I very the happy edy. My England is so sucky today... LOL

I digress

SarahN's birthday soiree was a quiet affair... I assume it was due to the fact that we are getting older (and maybe a little bit wiser).

I have another 4 more months to go before I hit the quarter century mark... Quite scary if you ask me!

Chinese New Year is coming soon! I'd be turning 26, Chinese calendar wise... SCARY... Time to get married...

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Listening to: Justin Timberlake - What Comes Around Goes Around
Feeling: Sleepy


Took Emergency Leave today because I felt sick and slept in today. Then woke up to just to watch Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. My god, it's the funniest shit, ever! Loves it...

Everyone should get some Borat soon! *Though I would think it's best to watch it on DVD. Very not safe for the family!*

Laugh out louds

Listening to: Pharrell feat. Gwen Stefani - Can I have it like that?
Feeling: The Tiuz-Daze

I have to admit that I am feeling rather lazy today as I am shooting in about an hour's time so I decided to surf around the net. Was reading my brother's blog and laughing like a bitch in the office with my boss in front of me... You can't blame me, he was blogging about my crazy neighbour.

DANGER43

Beautiful picture of the bitch washing her car stolen from Not Everygay is a good Gay


That's right... Head over to the gay blog if you wanna know what happened between the Lum family and the crazy family.

Had wanted to blog about that crazy woman but The Star beat me to it... I could swear the journalist was writing about my nut next door. Check it out! Highly entertaining...

I'm out

The hills are alive!

Listening to: Jay Chow - Kai Bu Liao Kou
Feeling: Blah cause it's Sunday


It is now officially a week since we got back from Cameron Highlands and I am still dreaming of the cool breeze and beautiful green gardens.

It was crazy, we started out at about 7am from Mike's place and drove non-stop to Ipoh for some 'Kali Mee' (curry mee la). It was good shit! Not too milky with a tinge of lime in it. I wish I could have just ignored Mike's disdainful look when I pulled out my trusty camera for some pictures. Apparently people with class should not take pictures of their food. Got some pictures of the beautiful people (minus Mike, because he refuses to take pictures) who came during the first batch.

G and David

G and Tracy. That girl's gotta be in all pictures!

Cin
Cin, take 5. She's got so many funny faces I had to snap 5 times before I got the correct one!



Then we continued our drive up the hills. We drove two cars; me, Cin and Tracy went in one car and Mike, G and David went in the other. According to David, G was yodelling the whole journey up. Me and Cin had a civilized and quiet drive up. The new route (which we took) was pretty uneventful. Did not suffer any motion sickness as the route was quite tame. It was pretty boring compared to the old route.

In Cin's car
It was bad hair day, slept only 1 and a half hour!

We got there within the next hour and oh my god the bungalow was beautiful!

Little house on the hills

Stopit!
The obligatory cam-ho picture

The garden (that I checked out within the first five minute) was blooming with flowers.

DSCF5174
So nice right? Sniff... I want flowers like these in my garden!

The weather was beautiful, not too sunny and not too cold. After exploring the house for another ten more minutes, we broke out the mah jong tiles.

DSCF5135
But not before G does something stupid!

Of course, the Japanese in me decided to take some pictures before we could start. All these happened before even we had lunch! It was fantastic, guess we did not even had the appetite to have lunch as it was just too beautiful (that and we wanted to start on mahjong). We did mahjong till about 2pm when Mike decided that we should all go for scones.

Scones! Of course I'm up for scones! Finally I can say 'Would you like to have some scones, m'dear' without feeling like an idiot. *crazed laughter* We went to this charming little place called Bala's.

DSCF5138
So England!

DSCF5141
Pretty plants and windowsill...


Really, really beautiful chalets and garden seating. It's like we went over to England just for a spot of tea and scones. We had extremely expensive scones, (RM17.90 for two scones and tea each) in the most quaint garden. All we needed was a sun hat and we're all set for jolly good tea.

DSCF5143
Lovely garden! I wish I'm living there permanently~


DSCF5147
The obligatory cam-ho shot!

DSCF5148
Welcome to our home! We wish!

After scones and tea we took a little hike up from the garden to check out the chalets.



And then we headed back to the bungalow for more mahjong!!! Had steamboat dinner at the bungalow and it was the perfect weather for that bowl of piping hot stew! Then it was mahjong again. Of course, that being the first day and all, we retired pretty early for a night to good sleep.

The next day dawned bright and beautiful, but I woke up to a nasty sore throat and flu! It wasn't that bad till the afternoon came. I could barely eat after that. We roast chicken during dinner and loads and loads and loads of mahjong in between! What else could we do? We had decided to wait for SarahN, Gem and Kst to arrive before we start our activities.

In between mahjong, we stopped for some outdoor fun with Mike. He taught us how to play liew chai, literally translated as (ok, at this point I am totally lost for I cannot translate 'liew', fuck it.) (update, SD6 say it's FLICK the stick) OK. Flick the stick. So we were out for a bit breathing the fresh cool air.

DSCF5179
The master of Flick the Stick teaching us the rules of the game!


Then on the third day when I was feeling seriously crap, SarahN and gang arrived. Picked them up at the bus stop, had lunch and went home to the bungalow where another round of mahjong took place again. Kst decided to sleep in the beautiful weather while SarahN snooped around the house. Gem polished her mahjong skills and beat everyone's asses. (Tho I helped her a bit on closing the deal, she's got damn good luck on winning mahjong dudes)


While everyone else was playing mahjong, I slept a bit. Not by choice but I couldn't do anything much. I can't even smoke! So sad! Such a beautiful place to smoke and I can't even bloody puff a effing ciggie. Crap. G decided to teach us 4 player mahjong but failed as she herself also not too sure. Bleh...

At this point there will be no more pictures as the Japanese in the group is severely sick. She couldn't even eat. Now that's scary!

Had scones again at tea and we busted all the jam the caretakers had in the kitchen. I swear to God, Cameron's strawberries should all be made into jam cause they are just too sour and gross to be eaten! Cameron jam = Tastey, tastey!

Had Chinese dinner (at this point, I couldn't really even swallow. I was coughing up blood. EKKK) and had our treasure hunt game. The gift was kindly sponsored by G and it was Hershey's kisses! I only had 2 because everyone was on my case for eating them. (OK FINE! I know you guys care that's why you say me la!)

DSCF5181
The prize giving ceremony to the winning group!

Sissy the hero with girlfriend Sam joined us after work. They arrived at about 12. The gates were locked. Damn shy have to wake the caretaker up to open up the gate!

On the fourth day where we were supposed to go for a short tour of Camerons, I felt so sick that I had to stay back. Crap! I really wanted to go see the butterflies. Instead, I stayed home, watched Animax and slept. It was really cold that day and I slept on the couch in the living room where the door to the patio kept slamming shut so I woke up every few minutes thinking that the rest is back from their fun time out.

When they finally did get back, Gem sat down beside me and told me the gory details of the snake eating white mice and long long long milipede. (I would have fainted if I went. I hate milipedes and centipedes and all things that wiggle. EEW!)

Another few rounds of mahjong for the mahjong freaks (me not included cause I just slept) and the rest played another round of Flick the Stick! Dinner was barbeque... I had one measly potato hahah... Couldn't stomach anything else. I'm blaming karma for being sick on my bloody holiday!


We went to the night market after our dinner and bought flowers, food, vege, strawberries and cactus (Kst bought cactus, I durno why... Plus, he purposely go and choose those crazy looking ones. So weird. ehehhe)


Got back and we played charades... And while the rest retired for a few more rounds of mahjong, I retired to the room. Sadness! Last day also cannot enjoy the cold weather a little bit more... Everyone woke up slightly late the next day and we checked out and had a steamboat lunch (again!) and headed downhill again to warm and balmy KL...


Bye~!
Goodbye Sri Sentosa!

That was the story of our fantastic Camerons Highlands trip, the only not so fantastic thing was the fact that I was so sick I only half enjoyed it... Nevertheless I did had much fun with the company I was with!

The hills were alive, with the sound of mahjong tiles!

P/S: Gem, G, David, Sissy and Sam couldn't resist the smell of the stinky King of Fruits and had a few before we took the drive down from Camerons... stress... here are the evidence!

Durian
What in the world are you guys doing?

Durian2
We have stinky evidence that you've been eating durians!

New Year, New You

Listening to: Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Rewrite
Feeling: Fresh as a daisy!!!

In line with the most used magazine cover blurb every year, I would like to elaborate a little more on my New Year's resolution... I didn't realize I had set realistic ones until recently. Here's why..

Me, Gem, Sarah N, Kst, Cin, G, David, Tracy, Sissy, Sam and Mike was at Cameron Highlands the first week of New Years and we stayed on for a 5 day holiday. Talk about bliss! Everyone was heading to work or sending their bratty Standard One kids off to school when we started off for a holiday. I love that feeling. Should do that more often!

So yeah, back to the holiday (I'll blog about it in a separate post) I was sick from the second day onwards till I got back to KL. What a bitch. I was just lying around, can't eat, can't play mahjong, can't even have fun. That's when I realized I am sooo not healthy.

Got home and decided that I should sleep earlier instead of bumming in mamaks. So on Sunday I slept at 10pm, diverted abit on Monday and slept at 3am and yesterday slept at about 11pm. Had been waking up early without much problems since then. It's a good start... So that's resolution no.1

Sleep early on weekdays

Realize I said only weekdays? Cause weekends are reserved for mahjong! How to sleep early?

I also realized that I had been eating unhealthily so will be packing food to the office for lunch at least two times a week. Skipped lunch yesterday and on Monday had hawker food, today mom made sandwich for me so that's one down. Hope this can last as it will also help me save money~ So resolution no.2 is

Eat healthy and pack food to work

Drinking more water is also part of my be healthy plan!

Need to upgrade my intelligence level! So gotta read more books, more books and more books! Also more newspaper la... So no.3 is

Read more and I don't mean comic books

Pretty realistic ain't it? I'm praying that I can stick to it!

P/S: Another one I should add is to blog a little more consistantly and fingers crossed that will work out... I should be getting back to work now~
