Through Papam’s eyes : episode 1

My adorable niece Chloe Josephine..

Enjoying her Disney Channel and so totally relaxed..

A Public Holiday evening with family

The sister and family came to my place to pick mum and I up around 7pm, and we headed to City Mall,

“The Olde Station Kopitiam” – for dinner..

The sister and girls figuring out what to order..

The first dish served, was the Popiah, I think some its called the pastry wrap? with some stuffings and ’sambal’ poured over, and then peanut toppings..

Looks yummy huh? I didn’t have much of it cos it was actually rather spicy!

Next, the sister ordered some rice with Assam Fish..

And then Bro in law Tom ordered the classic Nasi Lemak, with chicken..

and Mum ordered the U-Don noodles..

And with all that photo taking session, could you believe I actually forgot to take a photo of my own order????

Anywhoo, I ordered the Kuey Teow Chicken soup which actually tasted not too bad! Unfortunately, I can’t review much on what the rest of them ordered cos I was much too full to even finish my own meal! No thanks to all the junk food I hate in the late afternoon.. tsk!

And here are my fav models for this outing..

Baby Girl Chloe with Yi Che Tabby,

and then..

Chloe again, this time with Che2 Danica!

…

..

It was a simple evening outing.. I was with The sister most of the time doing more ‘girly’ stuff like going through the dresses and undergarments department, shoes..

Then City Mall had to close at 10pm.. its a Public Holiday tomorrow!!!! Mall times should be extended, duh~~~

Danica was asking for fries as we were leaving City Mall, and Yiyi Papams was craving for the same too. So we all dropped by Burger King for some fries and onion rings snack. MTV Making the Band 4 was on in BK! But I was more caught up with playing rock, paper, scissors with the girls.. guess I’ll have to catch up on who made the finals on the entertainment news online then..

Thing about Public Holidays, it makes me eat un-cautiously…

Public Holiday

its a public holiday today.. Harvest Festival 2008, and it lasts for 2 days.. wooo hoo!!!

I get to sleep in again.. zzzzz…

anyway, no plans for this public holiday. well, maybe tomorrow, going for some family tree reunion thingy my mum is dragging me to go… will see..

for now, just enjoying lazing around at home.. and having snacks…

i had a post 2 years ago about how i spent the Harvest Festival. Read it here.

Choices. Variety. Un-loyal?

Is there such a word as un-loyal? or is it dis-loyal? I need to brush up on my vocab and grammar!

Speaking of this, its just my thoughts on having more than 1 of the similar things in life.

For example, I only have, well, I don’t ONLY have, but I choose to frequently, and I mean as in, make it my primary use, of only 1 bank account. I do have another 2 I believe, which I rarely use.

And then I have more than 1 shoe, but I frequently use 1, until I wear it out completely, before I decide to use another.

I know some people have more than 5 email addresses, I have a few email address, but I have a primary email, 1 for formal use, and another just for junks. ;-p

So my point is, its just too much hassle to have too many of the same thing right? Yes, sometimes in life we need back ups.. justlike, in case 1 email doesnt work, u can use another, etc etc..

I just tend to be emotionally attached to just 1 thing, and the rest just seem “not so important” to me..

ok, i think i’m not making sense here.

anyway, i was referring to my other blog. My blogspot. I actually had that before this wordpress. And just today, since i am bored to my wits, I decided to just link it up to my primary blog and have it hangin around me..

So, whats with the loyalty issue? I think thats just me putting all this random thoughts into a messed up post. So just because you want variety it means you aren’t loyal? or you want back up? this is referring to relationships see.

ok. papams is just being crazy and blabbing nonsense away here cos I am hungry, I havent brush my teeth, or wash my face, or get a shower, since i woke up at 9am this morning. disgusting. its almost 2pm now.

Tagged by Big Eyed Gal : Peculiar Friday Tag

I actually don’t mind doing simple tags like this.. and since its Friday, here goes..

DO YOU PREFER…

1. To watch or participate?
depends on what the activity is right? but I am definitely in for fun ones and especially activities that are new to me!

2. Malls, catalog shopping, or the Internet?
Yeap. Malls and internet…

3. A bath or shower?
Hmm.. a bath (with someone would be romantic ;-p ) and then a shower when I’m in a rush!

4. To talk to people by telephone, in person or by e-mail?
I don’t think I have a preference for this except depending on who I am talking to. If its someone I missed so dearly, talking in person would be great isn’t it?

5. Typing or writing?
I definitely prefer typing cos its much neater and readable that way. I’ve seen pretty bad hand writing which just annoyed me when you need information. But I’d have to agree with B.E.G. that its more personally if I’d be writing a letter, or a card, or a love note..

…

.

Just grab the tags whenever you can peeps!

Love?

Got this from a text message..

…

..

.

….. I asked a kid : “What is Love?”

…… the kid answered,

…………..“hmmm.. Love is when a puppy licks your face…”

……..

…….. I laughed …

……. But then he added ..

….. ” even after you left him alone all day .. “

..

..

..

my mind when, “aaawwww… ” after reading that..

isn’t it sweet, and oh so true??

The simplest way to define L O V E ..

..

.

I am so easily pleased..

It’s Never Too Late

Currently listening to this.. Overheard it playin on the radio this morning and the guitar opening got me..

…

“Its Never Too Late”  -  3 Days Grace

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don’t belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it’s not too late
It’s never too late

Even if I say
It’ll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we’ll turn it around
‘Cause it’s not too late
It’s never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there’s something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It’s not too late
It’s never too late

The world we knew
Won’t come back
The time we’ve lost
Can’t get back
The life we had
Won’t be ours again

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don’t belong

I’m not usually a big fan of rock songs, but this is prolly one of those slower rock songs that i could actually enjoy. And I liked it the moment I heard it that makes it special..

I suppose they always have that saying that Its never too late, especially with regards to doing something you’ve always wanted to do..its never too late..

so go ahead and think about it.

its never too late to do ’something’ about it.. 

Just another day..

0630 – Wakey wakey~

0700 – Hot Shower. (not the heater machine type. manual boil-in-kettle type)

0715 – Left the house. Mom drives me sends me to work.

0730 – Breakie with mum at the coffee shop just behind my work place. Had some Sarawak Kon Lou Mee, with some dim sum, and a cup of hot milo kaw kaw… Bumped into Candice and her father. When my mum asked me who was Candice, i told her she was my ex’s cousin’s gf.

0757 – Scanned my thumb on the attendance machine. “Papams has signed in to Permai Polyclinics Sdn Bhd.”

0800 - Work begins.

Pepared a few more cheques continuing from yesterday’s unfinished work.

Calculated locum fees.

Data entry checking for payment to branches.

Prepared some payment vouchers.

Called Ms Duri about graduation submission forms.

Chit Chat with colleagues.

Went to the toilet to pee for at least 3 times.

1310 – Lunch Hour.

Before heading out, I managed to get FREE medicines for my flu!! Yay!! I was told that the staffs could get free medication.. that was just awesome.. i got myself a strip of Clarinase for my buddy Mr Flu.

Walked to Wisma Merdeka with colleague AJ and bumped into other colleagues at the place where he had lunch. I just sat down with them and had air Bandung. Told them I wasn’t eating cos I’m on a diet and I didn’t wanna get fat.

My air bandung turned out to be AJ’s treat. Kewl. So after lunch, it was just me and AJ went around Wisma looking at stuffs and chit chatting about work.

1410 – Walked back to the office.

More work.

Data Entry checking.

UBS Accounting data entry.

1715 – Thumb print scan again. and Signed out.

Mum made a smart move to let me drive instead. I usually find the drive home rather draggy but this time it wasn’t so bad prolly cos I was thinking about a lot of stuffs in my mind. And plus, traffic was AMAZINGLY smooth.. I think due to the school holidays but man!!! seriously!! It was such a big impact on road traffic!!!

Dropped by uni to get my forms and then head home.

1800 – Papams is home.

1920 – Papams drove out all the way to Centre Point just to pass the forms to JJW so he could help me pass the forms to the departments in uni. Saw Raph & Joyce at CP. Aww.. they’re such a sweet couple.. Didnt bother to say hi though.. I looked like a hippy and was embarrassed to let them see me like this cos they were all dressed up in formal executive wear.. I suppose they were shopping right after work..

I must say, all the while when I was walking around CP, I really was tempted to surrender to my craving for fries.. especially from Burger King.. but I so ruled over my temptations… muahahahaha..

2010 – Papams is finally home.

…

..

.

I should also add that my flu is still hangin around me, still doesnt wanna leave yet.. enjoying its vacation in my ever sensitive nose.. Now its even got me a bonus of “coughs”.

Not only do I feel extra tired and lazy, it also makes me more crankier..

Despite bein cranky, i still managed to cam-whore for a bit..

This is the better-lookin, skinnier lookin, photo of Papams as of today, this instant, with flash on,

.

and this is the uglier lookin, fat-faced lookin, non-flash photo of Papams, today,

.

I am really not photogenic.

Flu

Yupp.. its the flu season.

It bothers my sleep.

And it makes me lazy.

I joined a Project!

Joined in on an interesting project organized by Cherry a.k.a Girl for All Status..

Its kind of a “peek-in-your-bag” tag.. haha

Interesting.. that was creative.. see, I lost my creativity, otherwise, I could have thought of doin that post way earlier huh??

Check it out here.

Lemme explain the stuffs I fill in my daily carry-bag.

The bag featured in Cherry’s project is actually the bag I bring to work with. Not very formal for work, but I kinda screwed up the rest of my more “girlie-formal” bags..

So if I’m not goin to work, I’d be transferring my stuffs from the work bag, to my other casual carry bags..

Back to the STUFFS, I always get ppl asking me, “What do you bring in that bag???? Its so bulky and heavy!!”

And I kid you not, my bag weighs about 5kg..

Okie, I usually bring along two “little” bags in which contents include pads, tissues, lip balm, pantyliners, minyak kapak, eye drop, earrings, nail cutter, folded comb, etc etc small tiny stuffs..

and then I also bring my pencil case along cos I might need to use the stapler, my pendrive, pens, rulers, pen knife, and wat not..

and i bring my black notebook along with me in case I need papers, or in case I get bored I can doodle something there or just browse through my calender/organiser..

i NEED a water bottle in my bag.. I need liquid in my body regularly..

i bring a small hand towel to wipe my wet hands with whenever i wash them.. and i wash them often cos i go to pee often cos i drink a lot of water..

i need my glasses too because i can’t see very well at night and i have short sightedness.. getting old now..

and i also bring wet tissues nowadays as i find it very convenient where water is not readily available..

so there. A post just about what I bring in my bag everyday. When I use to travel on foot or by bus, I even carry a folded umbrella with me everyday.

So thats why my bag is heavy. I like to prepare for “just in case” scenarios..
