My Last Post...in this blog

2005-12-21T23:04:00.000+08:00

I'm very sad today. This is my last published post at http://che-cheh.blogspot.com/. I've come a long way since Nov 2004 and in a way I've grown up just by blogging.

Ok, I have one BIG HAPPY NEWS, though. I am the owner of an independence blog/site named Che-Cheh @ http://che-cheh.com/. Che-Cheh has become my trademark and I wanna stick to this name. Moreover this name is very dear to me because Che-Cheh is the nickname of my beloved dog, Chester :)

Thanks to Bryan aka http://www.sapiensbryan.com/ for helping me setting up and hosting my new place. Cheers to you.

Come, I welcome you to my new blog.

I'm Angry

2005-12-21T12:56:00.000+08:00

Your Inner Child Is Angry

You're not an angry person.
But when you don't get your way, watch out.
Like a very manipulative kid, you will get what you want.
Even if it takes a little kicking and screaming.

How Is Your Inner Child?

Wah so true lah. Really really true lah. So now you know what I'm like. :DDD

Actually I act as a child when I'm with my family only lah. Don't worry.

Tick Is Everywhere

2005-12-21T09:42:00.000+08:00

The other day I found one at my mom's leg, another one sucking my blood near my wrist(found this bloody tick at my office; see how far the tick travelled) and another one at my sis's leg and ear. Guess what it is ?

TiCk TIck tIcK
Tick season is here.
Tick aka kutu!

Pity Chester. He didn't know what has invaded his fur and skin. When I was looking for the tick and crushing it, he was smiling contently and looking at my hands with wonder.

As of yesterday after 2 days of tick annihilation exercise, I have killed about 35 ticks(near his ears, his head, his armpit and his neck; tick like to reside at warm area). Yes alot man! And while doing that I feel like a monkey's mother. LOL

I'm gonna carry on the extermination exercise until no more tick can be found. I don't like applying tick control 'poison' on Chester's fur. I like crushing em and feel the tingling sensation at my skin and hair after that. Yes I'm GROSS!!!

Christmas Tag

2005-12-19T21:34:00.000+08:00

I've been tagged by Alex Allied. Nice try. I want my Santa to be this guy below...Matt Damon. Ahhhhhhh...

I wish to get a date with him aka Mr Santa this coming Christmas. Please meet me at Singapore train station but please don't bring Mrs Santa(aka Mrs Damon). We'll have dim sum at Chinatown, lunch at the ohh yummylicious kaya bread near Bugis street, a stroll in the National Science Center savouring the Star Wars exhibition and dinner at the 24-hours Food Court near Bayview hotel. Ohhh what a date. Remember to bring a box of chocolate though.

I won't tag anyone. Ahem...being a nice girl eh.

To Singapore This Christmas

2005-12-19T08:19:00.000+08:00

We just made a very blunt move yesterday. After morning's dim sum and shopping for dog food we proceed to KL Sentral.

Guess what ? We bought train tickets to Singapore on Christmas Eve and will arrive at Singapore on Christmas morning. Then we'll go to have our dim sum, a little shopping and to our main event, Star Wars Exhibition at Singapore Science Centre. Cool man!

We will depart from Singapore on Christmas night and reach KL Central on Boxing Day. Meaning we will sleep 2 nights in the train on the seat!!! Ouch!!! My family said the bunker sure dirty one. We thought of taking the coach but we figured travelling by train is more wise because of the long queue at the immigrant counter if we travel by coach.

Another good news! We might book AirAsia plane tickets to Macau(before 28th December-free tickets hehehe...not kiasu lah but Free wor, who don't one right?) and from there travel to Hong Kong by ferry. Imagine how much we will save if compared to travel by AirAsia to Macau and MAS to Hong Kong. Looks like my HK plan next year is still on. Yipee du dah.

BONUSSSSS!!!

2005-12-17T09:30:00.000+08:00

Aiyooo I'm at work right now on a Saturday raining morning(only this Sat though. There will be many working Saturday on Jan and Feb). Yawnnnn! Arggghhh! I need to answer a 'BIG' nature call but I'm going to 'tahan'/wait.

Ohh yeah, we got our bonus today. Actually the money is in our account already just that we haven't get the official 'bonus slip' yet. I can't sleep last night. Just a little....hehehe I guess bonus is the cause.

So am I happy ? Quite happy. Finally our GM distributed our bonus slip to us. Wooooo.....I think I can pay all my 'hutang' credit card and still have some extra for me to save.

I'm going to plan my bonus money well this time. So do you think I should indulge myself with an F1 ticket ? RM100-RM400 tickets ? or I better keep the money ?

Kung Fu Hustle

2005-12-16T09:25:00.000+08:00

I finally get to watch Kung Fu Hustle at AXN yesterday. What a lousy, mou lei tau, scriptless film. I rate this movie 2/10. Luckily I didn't watch this movie at the cinema last time. Or else I'll be very disappointed. Anyone is a fan of this movie ? Please tell me why you like this movie so very much.

Don't get me wrong ya because I'm a fan of Stephan Chow Sing Chi. I've been following his work since his heyday at TVB. But this film...ahhh it's just not him.

FYI, Kung Fu Hustle was nominated for Best Foreign Film for next year's Golden Globe Award :)

The Linz Won USD1 Million!!!

2005-12-15T07:50:00.000+08:00

Wohooooooooooo I'm so proud of the Linz siblings(Nick 24, Alex 22, Megan 21 and Tommy 19 from Cincinnati). Congratulation to the Linzes!!! Did ya see their happy faces ? My my...they truly are a worthy 'Amazing Race: Family Edition' winner.

They've played their games fairly, intelligently, with good sense of humour and most importantly they are good people. Did you see the way they talk ? I'm proud of their parents for bringing them up to be a bunch of good lads.

A good 2nd place finished for the Bransen family. Congratulation!!! And I just realised that this 3 sisters never 'fight' - as seen in TV.

I was gunning for Gaghan, Aiello, Bransen and Linz family from Day 1. Good choice, girl (give myself a pack on the back). And who could forget the Paolo family eh. They were fighting along their way to elimination.

Hey serve the Weaver right!!! Don't you think so ? I only like Rolly Weaver. The rest ? Linda(mom), Rachel(daughter) and Rebecca(daughter) is an example of one big 'evil' family. I've finally figured out why they are so ruthless. Actually it was Linda's attitude toward the others that drives her 2 daughters follow suit. Children will follow their parents footsteps. Well, most of them lah. I see that whatever Linda do, her 2 daughters will follow. For eg. when Linda 'took a nap' at the Stade Olympique her 2 daughters just gave up. When Linda 'talk bad' about others, her 2 daughters also 'talk bad' about others. And during the conversation with their taxi driver, Ted at Montreal...ohmygod they were like 'smooching' him till death do us part.

Do read about all the happenings at Amazing Race 8. FYI, the winner of AR8 leaked out in a gaming syndicate for the second time now before the last epi was showed in TV. Too bad eh. Amazing Race 9 is coming soon at the end of February. Cool Baby!!!

A very tense moment! A good thing they know their geography!

Boooooo...the Weaver

The lLovely Bransen family.

Yipeee...Wohooo

Official AR8 Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing Race 8: And The Winner Is...

2005-12-14T10:13:00.000+08:00

Today's Amazing Race 8: Family Edition 2 hours season Finale will showcase 3 families: Linz, Bransen and Weaver.

I've been gunning for Linz family throughout the race and I bet ya they will win the first AR: Family Edition title. My second choice would be Bransen but who will be suprise if Weaver win because they too have been very stable throughout the race. Not stable in the right mind and yield though but stable in term of tackling detours and road blocks and finding the right way to Phil.

Enough say...just watch

Walau Eh, ManUtd

2005-12-12T18:43:00.000+08:00

ManUtd 1 - 1 Everton

Aiyoo yo...pressure is growing fast in ManUtd camp. They have like 20 plus shots on and off target but only Giggs' managed to strike one in. Talk about Giggs, he played yesterday's game like the good old ManUtd player, inspired and creating lots of chances.

Giggs, Scholes, Rooney they all played well in the first half but they only managed 1 goal. I watched the second half towards the end only because I was watching 'American Next Top Model' (hehehehe) and the way they play in the second half is like they are lost again. Rooney missing alot of chances. What happened ???

Neville and Neville

They better buckle up in this week's mid week game against Wigan. If not I think Fergie will be looking at the chopping board much sooner than he thinks.

Thinking of Getting A Domain Name

2005-12-10T20:44:00.000+08:00

Hey, I'm thinking...I'm serious about blogging and what if I get a domain name for myself ? I don't want all the stuff that I've blog so far and in the future to be lost forever. So I think it's time. But first I have to know which site offers this kind of service.

Anyone can help me out there like for eg. where can I buy a domain name, who have blog about 'how to get a domain name', pros and cons on getting a domain name, etc....HELP!!!

2006 World Cup Draw

2005-12-10T12:00:00.000+08:00

Did anyone of you watch the 2006 World Cup Draw at TV1 ? Me ? Nope, I missed it. But hor, I dreamt about this draw over and over again at that very night when the official draw ceremony was helded in Leipzig, Germany(where else). What a nightmare!!!

I dreamt that England is in the 'Group Of Death' with Argentina yet again. Then I twiss myself to the other side of the bed and dream about it again and again and again until I wake up at about 9am+ this faithful Saturday morning. LOL

Anyway forget about my hilarious dream please. I'm like 50% support England only because I recognize England's players more than other country's players because I watch EPL ONLY. Hahahaha...and I wanted them to win 2006 World Cup just because I know them. But I also know that they won't win the 2006 World Cup because they lack stuffs that Brazil, Argentina and other country's possess(which I don't know what, LOL). So what if you invented the football.

Here's the 2006 World Cup Draw List; brought to you by soccernet.com
Remember to click at the picture for a bigger view. ;)

WOW WOW WOW

What do I think about the draw ? I think it is splendid, dear.

Group A - Germany will be the winner of Group A
Group B - Sweden and England will excel
Group C - Argentina and Netherlands will kill Ivory Coast and Serbia & Montenegro at 1 shot
Group D - Portugal and Iran will be going to round sixteen
Group E - Italy and Czech Republic will excel
Group F - Brazil will win comfortably but who will be the 2nd group to qualify ?Perhaps Australia(under Gus Hiddink's brilliance) ?
Group G - France and South Korea(?)
Group H - Spain and.....Ukraine(?)

Let's see how many of my 'guessing'sss are correct. *wink wink

p/s: Can you feel it ??????? I'm getting World Cup Fever again. Are you getting one as well ?

Believe It Or Not

ManUtd's Fallen Dream

2005-12-08T19:41:00.000+08:00

This morning's game:- Benfica 2 - 1 ManUtd

Sob sob sob sob...eh actually I'm not that sad seeing ManUtd's European dream crushed by Benfica this morning. Their European form suck so much this year so it's better if they can concentrate on their league game.

No i'm not saying this because they were out of UCL. I really think they have a pretty good chance to be this year's EPL champion. Although they need some "contribution" from Chelsea, though.

Will Fergie get sacked ? I don't think so.
ManUtd have 2 important games this week. They will meet with Everton and Wigan. Good Luck.

p/s: I'm sick...with flu, fever and cough...:(

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

2005-12-08T19:25:00.000+08:00

Your Blog Should Be Blue

Your blog is a peaceful, calming force in the blogosphere.

You tend to avoid conflict - you're more likely to share than rant.

From your social causes to cute pet photos, your life is a (mostly) open book.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

Found this quiz from Jeremy C's blog.

Guess what ? My blog is blue and I love blue!

Shake Your Bon-Bon

2005-12-07T12:30:00.000+08:00

I use 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' term when I want Chester to wiggle his body so that he can dry up quickly after his weekly bath. I've been using this term since he was with us at 5 weeks old. Now at 2 years and 1 month old, he still CAN'T understand this term!!! So heart-broken man! Even when he himself wiggle his body I will phrase out this term 'Wah, Chester shake your bon-bon hor good boy!' BUT he won't do it when I told him to.

Not until 1 day I caught him doing it after I told him to. Grrrrrrr looks like he understand 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' after all but are too lazy to do it. 2 weeks ago I try to seduced him with his favourite bath towel. I show him the towel and I said 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' and he did it just once.

Last Sunday after his bath, again I used his favourite towel to seduced him. BINGO baby!!! He did it as many times as I told him to. I think he knows that his secret is out lah because the first time when I caught him doing the wiggle thing after I told him to, I saw his face like saying 'Oh ohhhh shit! secret is out! my master knows that I understand her. From this day on I will have to perform 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' to her....ohhh godddd!!'.

Ha? I don't know what you mean!

I'm so proud of you Chester!

I can sleep more comfortably now that I know Chester has mastered yet another cool trick(not cool lah every dog also knows how to wiggle but Chester knows how to wiggle when I ask him to...now this is cool). Perasaanya saya...Now if only Chester can yawn more often.

The Worst Lie Of My Life

2005-12-07T07:31:00.000+08:00

Surely everyone has lied at least once in their whole life. Some lie is necessary to convince people and some lie is very damaging. For me, I have once told a lie that is so damaging to my own moral and self-esteem(but no harm to others) but eventually I managed to get over this matter not long after but I NEVER in my life lie like that anymore.

I was in Standard 3, 4, 5 or 6, can't really remember but I remember which classroom I'm in at that time. We were having 'Ujian Lukisan' that day. Also forget what I drew but the drawing that I drew didn't tally with the drawing test's title. I panicked man! Lastly I didn't pass up my drawing. I guess I hide the drawing in my beg and quickly go back home. Drawing test was the last test of that day.

I was so confused, frustrated, scared and nervous. I almost went mad. I keep thinking about this matter while having lunch at my aunt's house(that time my aunty 'baby-sit' me and sis). I think of many scenarios how I'm going to tidy up this mess. It's either I failed Drawing Test or lie. I decided to lie because this Drawing Test will affect my whole grade. There are a couple of ideas that I came up but I finally choose one that you also will say bravo to me(for being a good liar ;p).

I decided to draw a new drawing at my aunt's house that afternoon. The lie ? Ahemmm...since I didn't passed up my drawing that morning, I passed this new drawing to her the next day with the reason that I forget to pass my drawing to her yesterday. I said my drawing were in my table's drawer the whole time. And the rest people said is history.

You see...
1. I came early that day and purposely placed my new drawing in my table's drawer(have to act out mah).
2. I told my friend that I forget to pass my drawing yesterday and no one suspected me(what a good liar, hahahahaha).
3. I wonder why that teacher didn't count the total drawing received. (my guess is things were kinda in a hurry that day, we all were getting ready to go back on time).

I finally managed to breathe easily. When I got back the drawing, guess what was my drawing grade ? B man!!!! Oklah for a girl like me who sucks in drawing.

Hey I'm a good girl now ok. I don't bluff like that anymore. That was a hard lesson I learnt. Imagined if my plan goes haywire, I would have been thrown out of school.

Thank God.

CL: Can Manchester United Pull Through ?

2005-12-06T22:01:00.000+08:00

Remember to watch Thursday's morning CL game: Benfica vs ManUtd. I guarantee you this game will be a thriller; not because ManUtd will be knocked out of CL in 9 years(I think 9 years liao) but because ManUtd will pull through in style!

I really don't know what happened to them leh. They can't score and they like to draw(draw picture ah?). Come on lah their group is like the easiest of all. They can easily win over the 3 clubs namely Benfica, Lille and Villarreal but they choose the hard and rocky road.

Wonder Boy

• Keepers: van der Sar, Howard

BTW, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is coming back. Be warned. Hehehehe!

Hong Kong Trip Cancelled But Singapore Here I Come

2005-12-06T12:50:00.000+08:00

I cancelled my family trip to Hong Kong nnext year officially. For once I've decided that saving is more important than travelling. Hahahahaha! That's because I'm so poor right now.

Actually I plan to use my bonus to pay half of my hutang keliling pinggang by end of this year and the other half for Hong Kong trip. BUT since I need to pay car insurance and road tax come next year March which will cost me about RM1.6k-RM1.8k...I've got to cancel the Hong Kong trip which I estimated will cost me about RM2k(including shopping) for 3 nights. Sad hor. I've planned the Hong Kong itinery already.

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT I'm now planning to go Singapore next year. Yipeeeee...Cheaper mah and mainly because I get to see The Art of Star Wars at Singapore Science Centre. For more information about The Art of Star Wars exhibition please checkout here.

If you are an ardent fan of Star Wars do visit this exhibition ya. This is a rare opportunity to look behind the scenes for all 6 sagas, the making of the Star Wars movies and relish in the marvelous works and genius of George Lucas and his team in Lucasfilm Ltd.

I've promised my sis that I won't bring my credit card to Singapore. :p The Art of Star Wars exhibition ends on 3rd April 2006. Hurry!

Pikom Fair 2005

2005-12-06T07:41:00.000+08:00

Mom, sis and myself went to KLCC last Sunday. Mom went to Isetan for the BIG Sale while we went to Pikom Fair at KLCC Convention Center.

There were tonnes of people and we have to avoid being sandwiched a couple of times. There were 5 halls in total and so you can imagine how big this Pikom Fair 2005 was. I planned to buy an optical mouse and keyboard.

Reason to buy
Optical mouse - I play too much PC games until my optical mouse is spoilt.

Keyboard - One fine day I accidentally poured a cup of 'nescafe' on my beloved keyboard. Right now I'm using my dad's keyboard. Hehehehehe.

So what did I(and sis) end up buying ? We got a cheap Samsung optical mouse for RM30, 50pcs of blank CD at RM32, 10pcs + 1 pc free blank DVD at RM22, a LG internal 16x super multi DVD/CD rewriter at RM180 and Kingston 1GB Data Traveller aka thumb drive at RM200. Yes I spent alot and I'm broke now at the beginning of December :(

I just finished installing the DVD/CD rewriter on Monday and wah lah...cool. I'm proud of my DVD/CD rewriter because this DVD/CD Rewriter supports 3 DVD formats namely DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD-RAM and it's RW too. It is a 8.5GB Double/Dual Layer which means I can record longer video with higher quality of up to 4 hours of MPEG-2 video. I've tested CD and DVD movies on this driver but I haven't try to write on a DVD disc yet.

I didn't buy keyboard as I think maybe I can just use my dad's one FOREVER. My dad only play Freecell at his pc. Yes, he plays Freecell EVERYDAY. Yet he's not a pro at all. LOL....

One Fine Day In Melaka

2005-12-05T07:36:00.000+08:00

We departed from home around 8.15am and arrived at Melaka around 10.15am(about 2 hours). That was not the time I planned to depart but because all of us can't wake up on that Saturday drizzling cold morning. Umphh...My sis was not feeling well. She have flu and little bit of sore throat. Luckily she agrees to go if not we will have to cancel the Melaka trip again. Fhewwww!

We reached Melaka town by Alor Gajah instead of Ayer Keroh because someone told me that it will be nearer. Don't know true or not leh but I just follow Alor Gajah way. My GOD!!! There were so many traffic lights along Alor Gajah. I think we passed go about 10 of them.

At 11am we reached the ever famous 'Tan Kim Hock' with the help of our 10 years old Melaka map without any fuss. We saw Tan Kim Hock himself arriving with his Mercedes and driver. Fuiohhh...I managed to grab few boxes of dodol, cencaluk, cili padi sauce and ikan bilis sambal. Heaven man! My mom bought even more stuff. I'm not sure whether we need to pay for car coupon or not on Saturday but I bought one '1 hour' coupon ticket for 70sen because we parked opposite of Tan Kim Hock shop(because a bookshop seller told me we must).

We reached Jonker Street at 11.40am and proceed to have our late breakfast. We were starving man! We ate Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball at Chop Chung Wah Restaurant. The verdict ? not so nice man but that place was swarming with customers.

After breakfast at 12.10pm we strolled along Jonker street. By then there were many tourists. Mostly Asian people(pssst I think they are Malaysian and Singaporean mostly). I bought some post cards, Charles Cham t-shirt and clog's magnet. Yes very unlikely of me for buying so few stuff. The fact is nothing much at those Jonker Street shop excites me. Almost all shops sell the same stuff. Boring...We took some photo of Kampung Kling Mosque, Baba & Nyonya houses and Christ Church(yes we strolled along Stadhuys again).

We went to a shop selling cheongsam and I tried 3 cheongsams. Arrgghhhh so horrible. I was so fat. Remember ? So I just waited for my mom to tried her's together with my dad and sis. I don't like the owner of the shop though. She was telling my mom and me so many times that she tried to 'advice me to try out some other outfits but I don't want'. They were very nice she said. Aiseh if they were nice then why did the cheongsam that she recommended me ends up horrible ? Frankly speaking to anyone out there reading this. Nobody knows our body the way we do ourself. So when anyone recommends you to try out any outfit please think twice. They only can 'agak' but we've been with our shell aka body since we were born. We are the expert mah!

While shopping at Jonker street we managed to stop by at 2 more restaurants. One is the Kedai Antik 88 which has superb decoration of antics and baby nyonya architecture BUT the cendol is not so yummy leh. We ordered cendol, vegie kuih and yam kuih only because we were still full. The second shop we stopped was at another side of Jonker Street. The shop name was Donald & Lily. I went to this shop I guess like 5 years ago after attending my good friend's wedding at Melaka. We all wanted to taste the Nyonya Laksa but they were sold out. ALL except Fried Mee. Aiseh ! The cendol were better than Kedai Antik 88 but still can't fight Klang's cendol...huh why ar ?....We also bought 10 Nyonya Chang to be eaten at home.

By then it was 3.30pm and we proceed to Ong Kim Wee for satay celup. Aiseh I didn't checkout properly the opening time and it seems Ban Lee Siang satay celup will only be open at 6pm. We will be long gone by then. We then went to Medan Pahlawan but ends up at Jonker Street again because sis (who wanted to buy some pants to be wear at home) saw that a shop in Jonker Street was selling those batik pants. We also saw that Jonker Street satay celup was open at around 4pm. So we went to the satay celup restaurant first before going to the batik shop. BUT after we reached the front of the satay celup shop, dad announced 'don't want lah cause your sis cannot eat this'. So I didn't taste any satay celup in Melaka :( Sis and mom bought a couple of batik shorts but they took forever to choose. Oh man!

That's the end of our trip. We departed from Melaka at 4.40pm and reached home at 7.15pm. Well, I didn't really enjoy my Melaka trip this time. I think because the food that I've eaten there so far didn't taste like what I expected. I judge the overall food as B--. Sorry if I have intimidated any Malaccan. Sis end up become more sick. Well, take care ya.

As usual photos will be process as soon as possible. No digi cam mah.

Melaka Here I Come

2005-12-02T09:53:00.000+08:00

I will go to Melaka tomorrow for a day trip with my family. Grandma won't be joining us because her neck is still in pain. Pity her. Guess she will 'jaga rumah' again.

Anyone(colleagues) want me to bungkus anything for you at Melaka ? Say cencaluk(yumm yummmm), dodol, Tan Kim Hock's product ? Do tell me ya.

This Melaka trip is called Melaka Food Extravagance because I'm going there to eat eat eat more than visiting. Food that I'm going to try at Melaka are Chicken Rice Ball, Cendol, Asam Laksa, Nyonya Chang, Nyonya Kueh and Satay Celup. Wohooo so delicious.

Lalalalalalalalalalalalala...I just hope my grandma won't throw the brand new cencaluk bottle away. Ohhhh my cencaluk...

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire

2005-12-01T07:45:00.000+08:00

I watched Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire yesterday. Not bad say a girl who didn't even watch the other 3 series of Harry Potter or read the Harry Potter novels. The reason I watched the 4th series is because I heard this story is darker than the other 3. Hehehehe...

I rank this movie 7/10. Not bad yeah although I'm not in awe by the magic or the building or the scenery. You may not hear from me saying this often that 'I can't wait for the 5th installment of Harry Potter'! That's because no bad guy were hurt in this movie. Shit!

Emma Watson as Hermione Granger and Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter in Warner Bros. Pictures' Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - 2005

Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley in Warner Bros. Pictures' Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - 2005

Spoiler ahead....

I wanna say this - Harry Potter is not so 'heroic' after all(not sure about the novel though). You see in the TriWhiz 1st round championship, all Harry Potter does is to run away from the dragon with some stunt right(just like Jackie Chan get away from bad guy with some stunt too) ? Then in the 2nd round, it was Neville who helped Harry by giving him the 'jelly'.

Harry Potter is a hero in compassion department though. For eg. he saved the girl from the black lake during the 2nd round and his compatriot at the 3rd round. BUT Daniel(aka Potter) need to polish his acting skill in order to convince the audience more. I rarely see his face changes or mood changes in the several adventures he partake. 'Macam muka selamba'...if you know what I mean.

So girls and boys, ladies and gentlemen, aunty and uncle...do go and watch this movie because you get to see a very horrible looking dragon and scarry mermaids.

Harry Potter & The Order of The Phoenix will be coming to you in 2007. In the meantime just hang on to your broomstick will ya ?

My New Doctor

2005-11-30T09:49:00.000+08:00

I went to a new doctor a month ago for my 'secret' illness. I went there again last week for my next check-up. This time I showed the doctor my blood test results taken few months ago at PathLab.

The doctor known as Dr Wong told us(mom and myself) that no point going to company like PathLab(example) because there's no doctor there to explain/diagnose our blood test result. He said some company even promote customer to buy many kinds of pill just because their blood test result shows some high point of that particular test.

He also gave us some pointers regarding high blood pressure. Sometimes when we have headache we would think that our high blood pressure is high right ? Well, we are wrong. Dr Wong said high blood pressure is one of the most difficult illness to detect because we will never know that person have high blood pressure unless the person take the high blood pressure test(the pumping thing and mercury). There's no other way to check for high blood pressure.

He also told us that people having high cholesterol do not necessary need to take medicine because once the person take medicine to lower the cholesterol level, he/she will be on the medicine forever. I'm not sure whether to believe him about this but he said he will explain to my mom and me about cholesterol next time.

Another important point to remember is blood test can never check whether you have cancer or not. So when you see there's a checking called Tumor Markers, don't bother to take this test. It will only waste your money. I was a fool then but not anymore. By the way, I'll be on medication for the next 16 months. If by 18 months my illness is cured then I will be ok. If no, then I will move on to other medication. Pity me.

My Not So Crazy But Scary Neighbor

2005-11-29T15:27:00.000+08:00

OK more news about my not so crazy but still scary neighbor. I mentioned that all 4 of the Indonesian workers that stay beside my house work at the construction of a new shop right ? But guess what ? Their current house are also in construction. That's why my grandma has been staying with us for the past few days(to jaga rumah).

Mr L hired another bunch of workers for the house construction. I'm not sure they are Indonesian or not but they don't have the 'muka karat' type of face(I think they are Indon because one of them was asking me about Chester and I catched his faint Indon's accent). AND they don't stare at us!!! Fhewwwww! Not like the 4 Indonesian workers that stare at you like they have never seen a woman in their life. That's why so scary. You walk where, his eyes follow. You stand still but his eyes follow while he himself are walking. Bugger man! If I have a brother I will ask my bro to tell them 'Tengok apa ?'. This is sexual harrassment!!!

But I pity them a little lah. Just little. All 4 of them were living at first room for few days but since the construction started they have been living at 3rd room. The first room and living room area don't have any roof(ant eating woods=what u call this type of ant ?). Luckily our house is free from 'ant' infestation.

Lost & Found & Lost Again

2005-11-29T13:07:00.000+08:00

WOW man! 2 persons got lost at Mid Valley on the same day (27th Nov 2005). I will remember this day forever. No one knew about this senario except mom, sis and me.

Lost Case No. 1
You see, sis got lost at the Home Decor Fair at Mid Valley's Exhibition Centre. We were browsing lane by lane and when I found a way to go to the last lane(mom was following me), sis went the other direction. We stopped and went back the lane where we got separated but sis was not there.

My mom panicked. She said 'Maybe sis pengsan somewhere. She said she got a bit of headache just now' and 'Maybe someone culik your sis already'. I said 'she looks healthy and nobody will culik her lah'. We searched lane by lane and then broke off and search again. And then I stand at the place where we got separated whereby mom search for her again. We went outside to look for her coz I knew sis won't search for us. She will wait outside. But still can't find her outside. We searched again inside a couple of times and finally go out again.

Hehehehe sis was waiting for us near the escalator. Aiyar we didn't go out to the escalator the first time, just the entrance. Sis said 'I was counting the minutes how long you two would take to find me'. Hehehehehe but I'm proud lah coz I know sis will wait outside. The problem is sis lent me his handphone coz I said I wanted to take some picture using her handphone while my handphone was with mom. That's why we can't call each other.

We then proceed to JJ.

Lost Case No. 2
We were at the home/electrical appliances/stationary floor and at the kitchen utensil area I told sis and mom that I'm going to the loo. I even asked them to wait for me. When I came back from the loo(around 10mins I guess;didn't wear watch and my hp was still with mom. I've given sis' hp back), I found out that I'm lost. You see I waited for them at the kitchen utensil area for don't know how long. Yeah can't call them coz my hp is with mom and I purposely don't want to call them by using a public phone.

I walked lane by lane because I can't just stand at one place. Salesgirl will think I'm going to steal something. I even went to the floor below to have a sit and then I went up again and waited for them. I think 'they must have enjoyed their shopping until forgotten that I'm not with them?' and 'Surely they will look for me once they have finished shopping'. I was half right. They said that after they can't find me they go and bought their stuff before came looking for me again.

I was reading all the different types of cork labels, cooking pot labels, baking utensils labels and looking at each chopsticks design until I can't stand it anymore. I decided to eat something at the stall beside the kitchen department. I was happily eating Nasi Pulut with Ayam Rendang. Heaven man! Too bad I have a small stomach if not I'll eat Asam Laksa too. I found out that I waited for them for 2 hours after checking the receipt.

I was nearly done with my 'early' dinner at 4.30pm when I turned suddenly and saw them both with their hands carrying multiple plastic bags. Hehehehe. Funny thing is they also looked for me at the kitchen area multiple of times but fate didn't bring us together then.

Tis The Season To Trim Down

2005-11-28T11:14:00.000+08:00

Ok, even my doctor asked me to trim down on my appetite. I'm 53kg now and doctor said that I should maintain my weight at 50kg. So I'm going to do just that. This week starts....hehehehe

Now when I look down a little(face down), a big double chin can be seen. Argghhhh

Now when I wear jeans, my extra belly pops out(still I thank God that I managed to buckle up the jeans, fhewwwww!).

Now when I wear sleeveless top, I look so fat man! I think my breast grew bigger too. Shuck!

My secret to trimming down is to starve myself in the weekends and eat 50% less in weekdays. Starving myself just for 2 days(aiyar I still eat breakfast and dinner, no lunch only) will decrease my body weight pretty fast. Yeah, I have the body system that works miracle(me perasaan). That's why when I'm sick, I can be really thin.

I'm wondering my big appetite is due to problem ? happiness ? or a big ugly worm in my stomach ? Nah don't think it's the worm because I don't feel any tingling sensation at my below...(mind you)

Now I wish that I can keep my promise to my ownself and hope this regime will works. Stop thinking that you are hungry all the time...Stop thinking that you are hungry all the time...Stop thinking that you are hungry all the time...Stop thinking that you are hungry all the time...Stop thinking that you are hungry all the time...Stop thinking that you are hungry all the time...Stop thinking that you are hungry all the time...Stop thinking that you are hungry all the time...

Because of You

2005-11-28T10:40:00.000+08:00

We have loads of compromises because Chester, our dearest golden retriever is living inside our house.

Because of Chester, we no longer put carpet in the living room.
Because of Chester, we don't sleep at the living room anymore.
Because of Chester, we have a life alarm clock woofing at us in the morning(never failed; Chester will woof at me the moment my handphone's alarm went off).
Because of Chester, we sweep and mop the floor more occasionally.
Because of Chester, our house is fur-infested!
And because of Chester, our house smell of dog. Hahahahaha!!!

Chester's fur even fly up to the ceiling's lamp! Believe it!

That's My Dad

2005-11-25T13:34:00.000+08:00

Usually my mom will be the one who spray mosquito repellant in our house. It's like my mom's job to protect us from mosquito.

Y'all remember the recent dengue cases right ? My dad started to play a bigger role in our house. He started to help mom to spray mosquito repellant when night fall.

One day I went into my study room and found that the surface of the floor, table and pc table were extremely sticky. Not to mentioned the horrible smell of the mosquito repellant. Argghhhhhh! I know who the culprit is.

I quickly confronted my dad. Here's the 'conversation' that took place. Although the dialogue might differ from original but the the content of the conversation is brought to you with crisp precision.

Me: Dad, why you spray so much mosquito repellant ? (that's how I know my dad is the culprit)
Dad: Got a lot of mosquito mah. You wanna get dengue ?
Me: But why you spray all over the place ?
Dad: So that stronger mah
Me: Aiyo no need spray all over the place one. Just spray at the cabinet's side or table's side. How did you spray ar ? Until our entire table so sticky. You know mosquito repellant is poisonous or not.
Dad: I spray whole place lah. TV ad also show that we should spray all over the place(at eye level)
Me: Hahahahahahahaha! That one TV ad only. We cannot spray like that. We spray under the table, beside table, etc only. Not spray the whole place at eye level. Next time don't do like that ar.
Dad: ...(still my dad said he's correct).

Anyway I told my mom and sis about this and they broke down laughing.

Have you ever give a thought - "What kill Mosquito(that is mosquito repellant) Might Kill Us Too"?

Maybe mosquito repellant in spray form is less hazardous but surely you have seen how fast a mosquito or cockroach die ? So inhale less and place your repellant at a safe place.(I spell safe correctly this time, yippee)

Nokia - L'Amour Collection

2005-11-25T07:42:00.000+08:00

L'Amour Collection

Nokia rocks! Yeahh Yeah!
I like the L'Amour Collection. Nice right ? Cool right ?
The 3 new handphones from Nokia are Nokia 7630, Nokia 7370 and Nokia 7380(starting from left of the picture respectively). Check out the link above. I already know the price. An article about this handphone was published in Ringgit(the free Star mag) last week or last 2 weeks. The price range from 2k to 3k(if I remember correctly).

Now who would be so nice to buy for me Nokia 7370 come this Christmas ? This would be my 2nd ideal flip phone(another one is N90). Ahhhhhhh...

Oh no...these handphones will only be selling from first quarter of 2006. I don't mind getting a late Christmas present. (*hint hint)

Need Help for Moderate Price Hong Kong Hotel and Eating Place

2005-11-24T14:32:00.000+08:00

I’ve been busy today. I spent my whole working morning surfing for Hong Kong’s hotel at Kowloon area. I’m planning to go there most probably mid of next year by backpacking. Wish me luck!

I found hotels around Kowloon are so cut-throat man! Even 3 star hotel’s rates are around RM300-Rm400. Believe it or not. Or maybe I just don’t know where to look for cheap hotels ? Anyone that has been there who can recommend a moderately price HK hotel ? My budget is around RM200-RM300 hotel’s room and I need recommendation for Kowloon area and Hong Kong Island area hotel.

I’ve planned places to visit at HK. Next I’m planning to find places that sell yummylicious dim sum, egg tart, chicken rice, noodles shop, etc. Any recommendation ?

Thanks in advance!

Play Hide & Seek Ar ?

2005-11-24T07:47:00.000+08:00

Chester!!!!!! You cute lil bunny!

No swimming yesterday(fight with my sis regarding the cloudy evening) so I went home and brought Chester for a walk at our local stadium. We didn't even get down from the car because there were too many people.

We decided to go to Lotus Restaurant to 'tapau' some crab curry, french beans and fried chicken for our dinner. Then when we were going back an old man came to our car. He told us that he is also an owner of a male Golden Retriever named Dusty. Awwwww. He's looking for a female...hehehe. Then we shared our story about GR's love for water, where we bring our GR for a walk, how intelligent GR is and the many many fur that is aplenty on the floor.

Love love love you Chester!

Today I dreamt about Chester accompany me to work. He snuggle at my office table whole day. What a good dog. Wanna know why I dream about this ? Well, we were instructed to reshuffle our seating place at the office and some how Chester came into my dream.

Btw, this morning I heard Chester walk to and fro in front of my bedroom many times. I can hear 'click clack click clack'(the sound come from his paws' nail touching the floor). Like a guard. He's protecting his princesses.

Chester: Master of Tricks

2005-11-23T12:48:00.000+08:00

Last week, when I was reading newspaper on the floor with Chester lying beside me, he makes me proud again. We will usually go through this ritual just before I take a bath on working day evening. As usual I will regulate his play toys weekly. Last week he's having his orange squeaky toy.

I've tried this trick a couple of times that is to use my hand and push his tennis ball/his orange toy towards him(I make sure I push the toy near his paw) hoping that he will use his paw to push back to me while he's lying down.

Yeah you guess it! He did it! My GOD...tried almost 10 times with him and he passed back to me 100% by using his paw or mouth(push). I called my sister to come and watch this trick and she's satisfied too. She said we should name this trick so that Chester will recognize the trick's name and will perform to us next time.

So I name this trick as ‘Pass Around'. Wohooo….Some of Chester's NEWLY learn tricks are 'Play Catch' (that is I throw his tennis ball or orange towards him and he will catch it in the air) and 'Play Around'. I'’m teaching him 'Waving' that is to wave! and also 'Yawn' so that he yawns when we instruct him to yawn! This will be so cool. These tricks are kind of hard but I believe I will prevail and so will my dear Chester!!!

I'm teaching Chester to wish 'Kong Hei Fatt Choy' with his 2 paws resting on my 2 hands but seems to fail. My idea is to place a small bag around his body and hoping he will go around wishing my relatives 'Kong Hei Fatt Choy' come this CNY. I guess he will only get his angpow in 2007.

Blogging 1st Anniversary

2005-11-23T07:33:00.000+08:00

Woooooooo I have been blogging for 1 year now. Today is Che-Cheh blog's 1st anniversary. Congrats myself...proud of myself and perasaan myself. To date I have written 370 articles. I started blogging on 23rd November 2004 but I have to choose a new id as I want to be anonymous and I accidentally deleted the whole template on my old blog. Silly me!

I'm still addicted to blogging after 1 year. A good thing! I used to blog a couple of days once(when I started) and now 2 to 3 subjects per day.

What I have not improve ? My vocabulary and grammar. Please mind my language ya and at the mean time please correct me. I'm learning along the way.

Who inspired me to start a blog ? Half Sophie and half ThE HuStLeR DiaRIeS. Sophie is the one who told me about ThE HuStLeR DiaRIeS and after reading his blog, boom!!! I also want to write blog and let people read my story. Thank you to both of you!

One question though. Does ALL the subjects that I have written in my first year of blogging - interesting, colorful, funny or plain boring ? :]

Sudden Big Appetite

2005-11-22T10:28:00.000+08:00

Believe it or not that yesterday I ate half plate of rice and about 4 bowls of super yummylicious porridge(cooked by my dad)!

When I was into the 3rd bowl of porridge, my tummy was going to explode. My grandma who stayed with us since weekend warned me to put down my porridge and take a walk around the house. So I stopped eating and walk for like 5 minutes then I continued my porridge. I ended up finishing 3/4 of my 4th bowl porridge. Aiseh such a waste but my tummy cannot take it anymore. No choice. I slept early yesterday at 9pm!

Ok ok my weight now is 53kg. I think I gained 2kg in 1 week!!! I don't know what happened to my appetite. I think I'll just eat as much as I want. Will I manage to fit into my swim suit tomorrow ? Opppsss

Just today morning, I ate a pair of 'yau char koi', a cup of milo, 2 pcs kueh koci, 1 pcs of vegetable kueh, 1 plate of mihun siam and now happily muching yam kueh. Gulpp...At lunch time, you will see me with a bun, a pair of 'yau char koi' and 2 pcs of vegetable kueh.

Btw, my grandma is staying over because 'My Scary Neighbor' apparently is renovating the house they are staying(ordered by the house owner). There are 4 of them and they stay in 1 room. Everyday we will hear 'bing bang bom bang ping bing bang'. So my grandma just stay here for precaution.

The Broker

2005-11-22T09:42:00.000+08:00

You can learn some Italian here.

Guess what ? I've finished reading The Broker by John Grisham in 5 days 2 weeks ago. I meant to read slowly but the interesting pace of the storyline makes me read more and more and more and eventually I finished the book.

Ohhh I just love John Grisham. I love his law's story. Many people are scared of his book because John Grisham writes about law plots, law rules, etc. But don't worry, you will understand his novel and it's NOT BORING. I've read ALL of his novels from 1989's A Time To Kill except 'Skipping Christmas' and 'The King of Torts'. And I like all of his novels' ending part. All the endings are GOOD one because all the suspense and master minding will be solved by then.

'The Broker' story is about...read on
"In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing President grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the President issues the pardon only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA.

It seems Backman, in his power broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world's most sophisticated satellite surveillance system. Backman is quietly smuggled out of the country in a military cargo plane, given a new name, a new identity, and a new home in Italy. Eventually, after he has settled into his new life, the CIA will leak his whereabouts to the Israelis, the Russians, the Chinese, and the Saudis. Then the CIA will do what it does best: sit back and watch. The question is not whether Backman will survive葉here is no chance of that. The question the CIA needs answered is, who will kill him?"

I rate 'The Broker' 8/10. Stop by MPH, Popular, Kinokuniya or Borders to buy a copy of 'The Broker', you won't regret it. I bought mine at Popular at 20% discount, so lucky. The book now is 15% off in Popular.

After 'The Broker', I read Jericho Point but I only understand 5% of the contents. Urghhh what kind of book is this ? It's like reading a classical novel. I borrowed this novel from my sister and I have returned the book to her. Then I bought Star Wars: The New Jedi Order-Dark Tide 1 Onslaught which is the 2nd series of New Jedi Order. Yeah cool!!!

I Bought Already!

2005-11-22T07:27:00.000+08:00

Amazing calendar!!! I like it very much. Bought the calendar at Subang Parade's Pets Wonderland. This is a 365 days table calendar. Each pictures come with the dog's owner comment. Can you believe it that there's a dog named 'Lara Croft'?. There's even space for you to jot down 'things to do'. Stop by any Pets Wonderland in Malaysia and buy yourself either a cat or dog version calendar. All sales money will go to SPCA and PAWS.

Nalbandian Gun Down Federer

2005-11-21T10:44:00.000+08:00

Wooohoooo what a pleasant Sunday ! Finally someone has the composure, guts and spirit to defeat Federer in style. Yesterday's Tennis Master Final in Shanghai was one of the best tennis game from any opponent against Federer. Pity Gaudio who lost to Fed with 0-6, 0-6 in the semis.

When I tuned in to the game, the score was Fed vs Nal : 7-6, 7-6, 1-5. Wow Fed is in big trouble. Fed make lots of mistake. I think finally(after 5 sets) his unforced error was 72. Horrible right ?

Althought Fed has an ankle injury but he still plays like he's not having any injury at all(hahahaha). Not until the Final match in the 3rd set when Fed was feeling the 'tiredness'. Boom Bammmm and the final score Nal vs Fed: 6-7 (4-7), 6-7 (11-13), 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3). Yeah Fed came back stronger in the final set. I can see that Nal begans to withered and the spectators was clapping for Fed but somehow he gained back his confident and somehow too Fed starting to make mistakes again.

Nalbandian got away with a Mercedes CLK convertible and 1.4million and Fed can't become the first man since Ivan Lendly (1985-1987) to lift three straight year-end tournaments. I want the Mercedes. You can keep the 1.4million.

Do you know that whenever I see Fed playing no matter in Grand Slam or Tennis Master I'll won't watch ? Because he always win. No point watching but this time it's different. Someone had stepped up his game and match Fed. Cool!

Check this out:Nalbandian Upsets Federer to Claim Crown. Too bad I can find any statistics on this game.

Keane Sacked!!!

2005-11-21T07:38:00.000+08:00

Why am I not suprised ? In my previous post;Good Bye Roy Keane, I suspected something must be wrong coz why would Keane leave the club immediately ? Read this article Keane sacked after rows with Ferguson from Star paper published on 20th Nov 2005.

Argghhhh!!!! What the...
Same like Beckham's case, Keane is a liability that's why he got sacked. Aiyoooo this time I won't side Fergie.

Keane's Departure: The Quotes

2005-11-19T21:29:00.000+08:00

18/11/05 5:04 PM

The news of Roy Keane's departure from United has rocked the football world.

Former team-mates, coaches and every available football pundit has had their say. Here, ManUtd.com rounds up the best of the reaction...

"The best midfield player in the world of his generation, he is already one of the great figures in our club’s illustrious history."- Sir Alex Ferguson

"Every relationship ends and you move on quickly. It was never going to go on forever. I feel privileged I had three years working with him. He certainly opened my eyes to what it takes to be a top athlete at a top club and I've taken many lessons from working with Roy." - Steve McClaren

"Roy Keane will be remembered as a true leader and one of the best players this club has ever had. It seems unthinkable to have Manchester United without Roy Keane but ten years ago you could have said the same about Bryan Robson and all the other great players. He's done so much for United and his name will be remembered forever. Roy is as big a player that the club have had and will have for a long time, but a club like United always moves on." - Nicky Butt

"He was certainly United’s most inspirational player in the last 10 years." - Arsène Wenger

"Roy was an extremely powerful figure at Manchester United and an exceptional player. I’m flabbergasted." - Ray Wilkins

"The fans will be upset because they loved him down there - and so did I when I played there. He was a great leader. The best thing about Roy Keane is that you knew where you stood with him. If you did something wrong he'd tell you but if you did it right then he'd also tell you - in his own way. Every player looks up to him for leadership." - David Beckham

"He's been an unbelievable player for United and one of the greatest the club has ever had. He's given so many years of great service and has always had that desire to get the best out of himself and the players around him." - Frank Stapleton

"I was there for 11 years, but the day they tell you your career is no longer going to be with Manchester United, it's a real bolt from the blue. It takes a while for you to recover from it and I would think Roy will be no different at the moment." - Lou Macari

Exerts from Keane's Departure: The Quotes

Good Bye Roy Keane :(

2005-11-19T21:20:00.000+08:00

Good bye!

I was in Assunta Hospital this morning when I saw someone's "Star" paper showing Keane's face on the last page. Oppsss this could be bad. When I read those big letters clearly on the last page "Bye to Red Devils", I was so devastated.

Day by day I look forward to Keane returning to the pitch. Well, he will never be at Old Trafford pitch again playing for ManUtd. Sob sob sob...When I got the chance to read the first two paragraphs of the article at a newspaper's stand, I was horrified! He had left ManUtd with immediate effect on 18th November 2005. How could this be ? I thought he will leave end of the season or the next but never in my wildest dream that he will leave immediately!!! This is bad man! For ManUtd and the fans. I guess Keane have move on and so we will have too.

For god's sake, he's just 34 years old. Why would he play for another club ? There must be something wrong. Why would he leave immediately and not end of the season ??? Roy Keane was born on 10th August 1971 at Cork, Ireland. He first joined ManUtd in 1993 from Nottingham Forest for a then British record fee of 3.75 millions pound. He last played for ManUtd on Sept 14 2005 because of injury.

When I first became ManUtd's die-hard fan, I only knew Roy Keane. Such is his greatness in ManUtd and the world. He will be warmly remembered by us with his gread leadership, his cool tackling, his 'straight-forward words' and most importantly as a figure to look up to.

Good Bye Royston Maurice Keane!

Malaysia's Most Beautiful - 2nd Epi

2005-11-18T13:33:00.000+08:00

Ohmygod!!! I regretted watching the 2nd episode of Malaysia's Most Beautiful. More than half the women are so FAKE!!! I supported Sheila though.

I'll never watch this show again. I feel this show doesn't have any mission or vision nor inspiration. Blah...I'm really lost at what this reality show is trying to achieve.

I can sleep early on Thursday from now onwards. ZZZzzzZZzzzZ...

Happy Birthday Mi!

2005-11-18T07:43:00.000+08:00

Today is my mom’s birthday. Happy Birthday Mi! Wohoooooooooooooo

She’s in her mid 50s now yet she still looks young and vibrant. When I was a teenage, people will always ask my mom “Is that your sister ?”. I’m content at that time but now when people ask my mom “Is that your sister?”, I’m hating that phrase already. Because this shows that I am the one getting older and not my mom getting younger. Do you get what I mean ?

Mi, I wish you superb health throughout your life and many joyful one as well. Ohhh not forgetting 'look young forever' ya.

We gave her a birthday card this morning and told her to tell us what she wants for a birthday present. We bought 'some not so useful' birthday presents for her last year so she said this year she wants to buy something that she really wants.

For some humour...These are some example words that she always pronounced wrongly:-

Marche = Makcik
Swensen = Sweden, Simpson

Chicken Little

2005-11-17T10:14:00.000+08:00

I just watched Chicken Little yesterday. I did laughed out loud a couple of times. I even slammed my hand at my lap and the chair because it's damn funny. At first the joke seem abit lame but as you go deeper into this story, the joke become more and more funny. And you must like Chicken Little, Runt, Abby and Fish along the way. They are so cute man! I like the karaoke part and Star Wars joke.

The Star: Chicken Little

Fish Out of Water, Ugly Duckling Abby Mallard (voiced by Joan Cusack ), Runt of the Litter (voiced by Steve Zahn ) and Chicken Little (voiced by Zach Braff ) in Walt Disney Pictures' Chicken Little - 2005

Erhmmm should I ring the bell and let people think I'm crazy again ?

I rate this movie 7/10. Go watch if you have the time. After the movie has ended do stay on because there's a karaoke session by the cartoon characters.

Scary Neighbor

2005-11-16T07:38:00.000+08:00

Recently I blogged about my new neighbor who are Indonesian. Well, I'm so scared right now. They like to stare man!

My mom told us that when she came home from work yesterday, she was bringing Chester to go potty at our driveway and one of the guy sat on the motorbike and watched my mom while smoking a cigar. Scary right? The fence between our house and their house is the conventional type. The diamond shape type. So they will have unobstruct view of our house.

Yesterday also when I reached home and my dad open the gate for me, 2 of the guys was walking to their house and passed our home. They watched/stared/looked inside our home. My God! So frightening. My dad quickly called me to get back into the house as fast as possible. Meanwhile, Chester was barking at them.

My dad said "Don't hang outside from now on". I can see that my dad are also scare ...in case what happened to our house or us. Again I need to stretch, no offence to the others Indonesian ya. Just that my neighbor are really weirdo.

Later on when I brought Chester out for a walk, I peeped at their house to see whether anyone of them are hanging outside. Luckily no one was there. Fhewwww! I brought Chester to the first half of the road and abandoned the bottom half where we must pass their home.

I really hate this man! I hope the construction of the shop house will be completed as soon as possible. I need independance man! I used to run on the road with Chester and laughing out loud with him but now I can only walk like an old lady.

Ohhh and I hate that yucky smelling cigar smell.

Combating Frizzy Hair

2005-11-15T15:11:00.000+08:00

I think I have the most stuborn hair in this galaxy. My hair is frizzy!!! Frizz at the top, bottom, front, back and in my hair as well.

I've even used anti-frizz shampoo and anti-frizz styling gel from L'oreal. My hair condition improved alot but still many hair will somehow find their way up and wave to the crowd.

One day, Saoirse told me that using plastic comb is a no-no because of the static. Wooden comb is the best. Wooden comb as in the base and the bristles must be wooden. No point buying a wooden base but plastic bristles comb or vice versa. In fact wooden comb is very good for our hair. The wooden comb has gentle tips which massage and stimulate our scalp without stripping our hair of its natural oils. The wood bristles distribute our scalps natural oils for healthy and shinier hair.

So I went to several shopping complexes for wooden comb hunting. I found 1 wide wooden comb at Body Shop selling for RM45. Crazy man! So expensive!!! Then I found 3 types of wooden comb in a package by Cosway selling at RM9.90. Cheap! Still I wanna take a look around first.

Yesterday, my friend Sophie told me Giant Hypermarket are selling lots of wooden comb at a very reasonable price. So I went to Giant Hypermarket after work yesterday. I bought 1 wide wooden comb at RM3+ and 1 flat wooden comb at RM6+. My my what a bargain.

The result ? I have less frizzy hair. I do feel that my hair is a lot smoother. My group of friends said so too. Ahem...maybe they are lying ? Hey gals, are you bluffing ? LOL

Of course I need few more months to really judge whether wooden comb has win the frizzy hair war. Till then, we'll talk something else.

Fuiohhhh

2005-11-15T00:31:00.000+08:00

Fuiohhhh!!! Half day gone and I don't have a single idea what to write. Hold on, hold on some ideas are buzzzzzzing in my head. Got it!!! Come back around 3pm ya. An exciting title is coming up. Ciao!

Btw, Adoption Centre is the place for you to adopt pets such as tiger, hamster, puppy, kitten, spider, llama and many more. They are your online pet adoption centre. You don't have to bring them home or bring them to potty. LOL.

Executive Decision

2005-11-14T15:29:00.000+08:00

Executive Decision

Yesterday was kinda boring at night with no exciting movie(that I know of) to watch over at Astro. So I decided on a movie called 'Executive Decision' starring Kurt Russell, Stevan Seagal and Halle Berry. Seems a great line up yeah ? Wait till you read further.

The story ? Terrorists seize control of an airliner named Oceanic 747(who know whether the plane that crashes at LOST is also Oceanic 747 ?) with nerve bomb that can wipe out the whole Washington DC. Intelligence analyst accompanies a commando unit for a midair boarding operation(really cool lar). If only such plane exist. The funny part is Seagal got killed during this mid-air transfer operation. I thought he holds supporting role character in this movie ?! With his name after Kurt Russell I thought ‘wah cool, 3 main characters in this high flying drama’. I gave a loud laugh about 10 minutes into this movie. Kurt Russell just shut the passage door connecting that cool plane with Boeing 747 and Stevan Seagal aka Lieutenant Austin got killed instantly.

After that the story goes from dramatic to extreme dramatic. Fyi, this movie was produced in 1996 and the tactics, ideas, movie flows and strategy are pretty good. But I don’t like the ending because Kurt Russell was trying to land the plane with Halle Berry beside him. The acting for this part kinda stupid coz their acting sucks at this part. And they end up together. Yuckkk!

Anyway, I don’t like Kurt Russell and Stevan Seagal. Just that the plots are good, for eg. Who would have thought to build a plane that can board another plane in mid-air ? or the thrilling moment when Cahill and Cappy trying to disarm the nerve bomb again and again and again. I rate this movie 5/10. Watch it if you are like me, going to be bored to death.

New Neighbour

2005-11-14T10:27:00.000+08:00

We’ve got a new neighbor after our old neighbor shifted away. I don’t like our neighbor instantly. Why ? They are Indonesian.

There are 4 Indonesian guys staying beside our house. I think they move here last Friday evening. Instantly we think about our house safety. I saw 2 of them just before Chester was attacked last Friday. We don’t like them not because of anti-racial issue but because they look like gangster. You know, the 'muka karat’ type. Those guy that when you see them immediately your internal alarm sound of disaster. One of them even walk ‘half-naked’ in front of their house.

Eventually we found out that they work at the front shop house new construction site. There are 2 columns of shop houses in front of our main road and now the owner(Mr L) of the shop houses is building another shop house between the 2 columns. In fact, the house beside us was owned by Mr L.

Now he’s either renting or giving his workers a place to stay. But we are not sure how long they will stay. Maybe they really are renting the place. I hope they can move away quickly.

James Blunt

2005-11-14T07:34:00.000+08:00

James Blunt

Have you heard of a beautiful song called You're Beautiful ? If no, then try to listen to it. This magnificent song was sung by James Blunt. His first album called Back to Bedlam(produced in 2004) consists of 10 songs. So far I’ve only heard You're Beautiful but I might buy his CD if my finance permits.

Exerts from his website:-
“So how did the music get into him, you might ask? Well if you were sent to boarding school aged seven, studied Engineering by mistake (“I thought we were going to fly planes, but we just pulled metals apart – the brochure was very misleading.”), joined the army by default, guarded The Queen, buried The Queen Mother and pranced around London like a tit for Japanese tourists to photograph, what you’re going to want to do very much after that, besides getting stoned and laid, is put your gun down, pick up a guitar and make an album in America with Linda Perry. So James came to Los Angeles in September 2003 to record with Tom Rothrock et al.”

I like his husky and hoarsely voice. When I first heard You're Beautiful in radio, I thought this song was sung by a black singer. Only recently I found out that You're Beautiful was sung by a white guy after watching his MTV. For the first time, I understand what a singer is trying to convey in his/her lyrics cum song.

This guy is for here to stay. So why not cool down what you are doing and listen to his song. Cheers.

Here's his famous song,

You're Beautiful 's lyrics.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

A Bitch Attacked Chester!!!

2005-11-13T10:14:00.000+08:00

Last Friday I decided to bring Chester to have a walk further front of our house road. Our front road is a row of shophouses and over there I knew there's a dog who like to chase people and but didn't know that the dog will attack another dog.

Being a smart-ass, I bring an umbrella for our dangerous quest. We were in front of Teo Aik Restaurant(selling Bak Kut Teh) when their dog sprinted outside and was growling and barking at Chester. The owner quickly sprinted out as well and was calling her dog's name. I forgot the dog's name but I remember that dog is a bitch.

Chester and myself was so scared man. I used the umbrella to scare the bitch away but she's not scared at all. Her eyes were fixed on Chester. Shit! The bitch circled us and I hold Chester's leash thightly. That idiot bitch was nearing us and suddenly Chester pulled the leash farther from me. That bitch managed to lunged at Chester and climb over Chester(with biting action) for a few seconds before their Indonesian maid came running out and shooo that bitch away. Luckily that bitch didn't bite Chester!

Poor Chester. He was pulling me to go home. We were running a little and that Indonesian maid asked us not to run as that bitch will chase us even more. I still used the umbrella to scare the bitch. The Indonesian maid finally managed to scared the bitch to run around a lorry and we quickly walked back home but not before that bitchy dog emerged from the other side of the lorry.

Again the Indonesian maid scared the bitchy dog and finally the bitchy dog no was longer growling. We quickly walked back and I turned a couple of times to make sure she was not following us. I stopped half way and let Chester have a breath because Chester was pulling away and he was panting so heavily. The panting was so horrible. For 1 sec I thought Chester will faint or have a heart attack.

We managed to reached home savely. Thank God! Chester's panting was gone and now he was filled with delight. I used 2 cloths to clean Chester's fur due to that bitch climbing up Chester.

Luckily that bitch didn't bite Chester or the owner will face the consequence. If Chester was hurt I will phone the Majilis Perbandaran and ask them to catch that idiot bitch. I saw that the bitchy dog didn't wear any collar or any sort of identification tag. They didn't even chain her at a save place. They should have chain her because that bitch was an idiot whose mind has gone crazy. What an idiot owner. That lady owner or the maid didn't even said sorry. It's as if we were wrong to step into their territory.

We were shocked but not hurt. I wonder Chester will dare wonder the road again.

Jack's Place

2005-11-13T00:41:00.000+08:00

Just now we went to 1Utama mainly for British India sales. Me and sister bought a blouse and skirt. Can you believe it ? A skirt!!! Hahahahaha...We seldom wear skirt. We shared the blouse and skir(sister love mah).

After that we hang out at Zara, Top Shop and MPH. Then we went to Jack's Place. My dad asked 'ok ar ? ok ar ? price ok ar ?'. We ignored him of course. I like the ambience of the restaurant. Dark places....hehehe. Mom and sis ordered Baked Salmon, dad ordered Fish & Chip as usual and I ordered Cray Fish & Chicken Combo. I rate this restaurant 5/10. So-so ok lah. Dome better. I will return to this restaurant for a pasta next time.

Jack's Place.

Baked Salmon.

Cray Fish & CHicken Combo.

Fish & Chip.

I got diarrhea afterthat. Maybe is the Cafe Mocha that I drank. Ewwwwww!

Chester's Pup's Photos

2005-11-11T15:30:00.000+08:00

Ain't I cute ? My fur stands up just like my master's hair. I was about 2 months old at that time.

Ain't I silly like my master as well ?

The Day We Brought A Puppy Home

2005-11-11T12:34:00.000+08:00

Chester say "This is the way to do it"!

Cutie pie!

2 years back today(like Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah), we brought a puppy home. We called him ‘boy’ for 2 weeks as we still can’t decide what to call this cute chubby lil’ pup. At that time he was 5 weeks old. 2 weeks later, we named him Chester Bennington Q.

He's grown up to be a very special dog. He looks half like his mother and half like his father. When we took Chester home, he was the first pup to leave his mother. His mother is a ‘cream’ golden retriever(having a long body and tall) while his father(as we seen in the breeder’s photo album) is a golden retriever(having a shorter body). Chester is a golden retriever with a body that is growing longer and longer by day. I think after 1 year(from the day I weighted him at 30kg), he still weight at 30kg. You know, I almost panic at first because when Chester was a puppy his fur is cream gold. I scared he will have cream fur because I want a golden fur GR. But of course no matter how he turns out, I will still love him.

I wrote about Chester in my January 2005 blog. Read it ya(psst many broken English). I thank my sister because she’s the one who choose this pup. Of all the 7 pups, only this one little pup didn’t come to us when we called them to come to us at the breeder’s home. Thus she chooses Chester. And I thank her too for suggesting the name Chester to me.

From having sleepless night because Chester was crying the first few days with us(missing his mom and siblings, I guess) and now Chester sleeping in front of our room and hearing his tip toe in the middle of the night...Awwwwwww...we have journey a long way. I believe there will be more wonder years to come where we will learn from each other, do stuff together(like brush our teeth together), laugh together and cry together.

May God bless you, Chester.

Finally sis managed to take a beautiful photo of Chester with his hand hanging out outside the car window.

Malaysia's Most Beautiful - Episode 1

2005-11-11T07:29:00.000+08:00

Most Beautiful

Did any of you watch Malaysia's Most Beautiful last night at 8TV? Malaysia's Most Beautiful reality TV show commenced yesterday is to choose the 1 Malaysian woman who is the most beautiful not only externally but internally too. This 12-episode reality TV show will be aired every Thursday at 9.30pm. Stay tuned.

Hey, I'm impressed. I love the whole of episode 1. From thousands women to final 15 and then the elimination of 3 beautiful women...just by watching this show, I feel like a woman again. Hahahaha!

The judges are Sheila Majid, Tate someone(guy) and Yasmin Yusoff. Expect fire plus water plus stone from them.

At the start of episode 1 we see that Aishah's boyfriend packed her things and went back to his car with Aishah's luggage and Aishah after they have arrived at Sunway. Luckily she managed to coax her boyfriend into letting her join the 14 women. Though that action made her defy the rules of the show. I still don't know what rule did she disobeyed ? Mind someone explain it to me ? Anyway, I think she has the most striking inner and outer beauty in that 15 women. I might be wrong because I judge her by watching TV only. She looks like someone and finally I figured out who. Anggun! She looks just like Anggun. Beautiful, sexy in a way and sophisticated! The girl with curly bushy hair is beautiful too.

Of course there are a couple of bitches in that show. I can't remember their name. There's one woman who is cheeky. She flaunt her 'big' breast and keep over acting. She's beautiful is she doesn't act like that.

I especially like the photo shoot part. That photographer was damn funny. Below are some words that he remarked(I have forgotten the actually word but the meaning is somehow like this).

1. "I will put 2 toothpicks in your mouth to make you smile"

2. "I better stop taking so many photos of her" Photographer referring to a pretty woman whom he took some extra photo.

3. Photographer talking to one of his colleague regarding that pretty woman in no. 2; "She's pretty, don't be shy" Hmm something like that.

4. "She's photogenic but she doesn't know how to pose"

5. "Nice skin tone" Photographer was referring to Aishah.

That's all! Remember to stay tuned next week coz next week 11 women is bringing Sunway down!!! How can you put 4 women in a room with just 3 beds ? Compromise girls!

Sweet Amazing Race 8 (Final 5)

2005-11-10T23:12:00.000+08:00

Guess what ? I’m so silly! I’m extremely silly. When I watched Amazing Race 8 yesterday, I just found out that I missed last week’s AR8 episode. I was so lost in the first few minutes. Aik wah Bransen family was lucky not to get eliminated. Wukakakakaka I keep thinking, what was I doing last week’s Wednesday ? And I don’t remember man! My mom said, ‘I thought why you two so good didn’t watch AR8 last week’. Grrrrrrrr, why she didn’t remind me! Ok, not her fault.

Funny ah they went back to US, Arizona. The 360 degree flips was so cool but the view in Grand Canyon was even cooler. Every AR8’s contestants paused for awhile to look at the Grand Canyon. I used to have a few dreams. My dreams are to visit the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Niagara Falls. I think I’ll visit these 3 places after I had retired. I think these places make a good retirement holiday. I’ll camp out there, go white water rafting(umphh maybe not) and go hiking. Ahhhh my ultimate retirement feast!

The Weaver family looks so strong eh, but they like to stop for direction. Yes I know if you don’t know where you’re going you better ask for direction but I think sometimes you just have to juggle your way. Eventually they end up in 3rd even though they can be first !!! Will they stop for direction if they qualify for the final 2 ? Sure they are gonna lose.

The Paolo family who was eliminated in yesterday’s AR8 finishes their run with a big quarrelling. That’s just them. At the end of the day, I’d say they were one of the most interesting family in AR family edition. Sure they fight and disagreement is always mounting but that’s just their way of showing love to each other.

Amusingly I watched last week’s Desperate Housewives but totally forget about this week’s episode. Luckily Astro come to my rescue. The long holiday must have been making my mind turn off and on.

p/s: sorry dreamcatcher for saying u messed up but actually it was me who is so mess up. I thought I published this blog already prior to our AR8 discussion. Huhuhuhuhu! No wonder you don't understand but you are a good actress lah. Saying your mind is sharp?! Wukakakakakaka

Chester: Like to Smell More and Learn Surfing

2005-11-10T07:41:00.000+08:00

Recently when I brought Chester for a walk in the neighborhood, he urinated at someone else’s front road thrice in 3 days. I tried to carry him away but he keeps on urinating. Naughty! Luckily that my neighbor had moved away already. I suspect the road there have some smell or marking of some other dogs. Chester also nearly wants to pass motion right in front of our house. His leg was already in ‘potty’ position. LOL. Too bad some idiot brings their dogs to potty in front of our house. That’s why with the smell. Dogs have millions and millions of smell cell.

Another thing annoyed me is because Chester’s has been smelling my dad’s car tyre and my car tyre. His nose was touching the tyre...eekkkk. He also likes to smell our car front and back bumper. I think we stepped on something, maybe a dead cat or dog on the highway.

4 days ago I brought Chester for a car ride. His place is at the left passenger side. I will wind down the window for him to enjoy while I will be busy driving and busy looking at him(seeing his ears flapping up and down just made me so happy). Because my car seat is leather it’s kinda slippery for him to stand still while I turn. Usually he will struggle for grip. Mind you, I try to go as slow as possible yeah. But that day I didn’t hear him struggle. So I looked back when I was turning again and saw he was balancing himself. MyGOD! He looks like a surfer surfing on the car seat. So cool. I thought he will do it once only then when I turn again finally to our house, he does that again. My my...what a skill he have acquired. I will try to snap his surfing pose photo next time with the help of my sister. So proud lah. I even demo his pose to my parents and my friends. LOL.

Starsky & Hutch

2005-11-09T07:30:00.000+08:00

I watched Starsky & Hutch the other day at Astro. Starring Ben Stiller as David Starsky and Owen Wilson as Ken Hutchinson.

Why didn't I watch this movie at cinema earlier ? This is a cool movie because I like the joke, the sense of humour and I like Huggy Bear starring Snoop Dogg. Stiller and Wilson really have a wonderful chemistry between them.

I rate this movie 6/10. Watch Starsky & Hutch when you got the chance.

Huggy Bear aka Snoop Dogg

My Odd Dream

2005-11-08T13:00:00.000+08:00

I told you in Final Score: ManUtd 1-0 Chelsea that I had an odd dream. Well here's the story.

On that faithful ManUtd vs Chelsea match we planned to order McD for our dinner. So I called McD delivery service.

Me: Hello, my phone number is xxxxxxxxx.
McD guy: You are Ms Che-Cheh. Address is xxxxxxxx.
Me: Yes.
McD guy: The nearest McD near your place is xxxxxxxx. However you need to wait between 1.5hrs to 2 hrs because the McD over at xxxxxxx don't have enough delivery man.
Me: Can I change the McD delivery to xxxxxx ? That place is also near my house.
McD guy: Hold on, I ask my supervisor.
After few secs...
McD guy: I'm sorry, you can't change place.
Me: In that case, nvm. I'll drive to McD.
hang up.....

On second thought I'm kind of lazy to drive. So again I called up McD. I placed my order and was requested to expect the delivery between 1.5hrs to 2hrs, meaning I have to wait until 10pm for my dinner to arrive. Luckily I have my dinner at 9.30pm. The delivery guy even said 'sorry'.

Later that night, I didn't dream about MU but I dreamt that there's some problem at McD delivery and they will deliver my order at 3am-4am. I don't remember what happens after that but thank GOD.

Star Wars: The New Jedi Order - Vector Prime

2005-11-08T07:33:00.000+08:00

Star Wars: The New Jedi Order - Vector Prime.

I've just finished reading Star Wars: The New Jedi Order-Vector Prime. What can I say ? I LOVE this book. I should have read this book earlier. This book was written in 1999. OK if you are still clueless, The New Jedi Order stories happens 25 years after Star Wars: A New Hope. Get it ? Vector Prime is the first part of The New Jedi Order. So you better read this book first.

BTW, not all of The New Jedi Order series are by the same author. But don't worry, the story still goes well. How would I know ? Well, I bought and read Star Wars: The New Jedi Order-Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial and Agent of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse first(both are 4th and 5th parts of The New Jedi Order series) before reading Vector Prime. And I was so confused at that time because I can't imagined what does a coralskipper looks like or whatever the new enemy's ship or techno's name. Then only I realized all the New Jedi Order books are connected to each other. I made the assumption that since most of the books was written by different author, the story ought to stand alone. Sure they did, in a way lah but to know the story from the beginning you better read Vector Prime first.

Sorry to Dreamcatcher, you have to read Agent of Chaos I: Hero's Trial several time just to imagine the stuff going on. Hahahahahaha. Opppsss!

Star Wars: The New Jedi Order-Agent of Chaos I-Hero's Trial and Agent of Chaos II-Jedi Eclipse.

OK I say this again. I LOVE this book and I LOVE the enemy that is bringing chaos to the Core, to the New Republic, to Luke Skywalker, to Han Solo, to Mara Jade Skywalker(Luke's wife), to Leia and their 3 kids. Wohooooo...Who can imagine a new threat after the Empire has gone. But there's a sad news...no I won't reveal anything. Just read and feel sad...

Although I'm a BIG fans of Star Wars, I only watch the movie a couple of 10-20 times but I never read the novel. Nope I haven't read Star Wars: Epi I to VI and many other adventures in Star Wars novel. Vector Prime or should I said Agent of Chaos I was my first step into the world of Star Wars novel.

Wish me luck! I've event dreamt flying The Millennium Falcon. Ahhhhh...

The beautiful 'Millennium Falcon'!!!

Check Star Wars/Random House-Del Rey for the whole Star Wars novel series!

Final Score: ManUtd 1-0 Chelsea

2005-11-07T10:08:00.000+08:00

1 0

Ohmygod!!!!!!!!!!! Did you have a good time watching ManUtd vs Chelsea this morning ? I sure did! I was gritting my teeth, yelling, praying, supporting and towards the end of the 90-minutes trying to close my mouth from yelling too loud. I've been yelling loudly anyway. My mom keep waking up from the sofa and asked me not to yell. How could I not yell ? When the referee whistled at 90+4 minutes, I clenched the air. Yes yes yes! My team, MU at 2am 7th Nov 2005, Monday morning ends Chelsea's 40-match unbeaten record. Most importantly we have show the world that MU still have the essence to play a better game, to defend well than our opponent and plainly, we have defeated the champion.

Thanks to the unlikely hero, Darren Fletcher who headed in 'a who might have thought the ball can go in like that' goal at 31st minutes. During the 2nd half I said to my dad(who watched the game too) that I will accept it if it were a draw because Chelsea really played better in the 2nd. My dad told me 'Don't worry. MU will win'. I asked why. He said most probably because there's a betting syndicate to let MU win. Millions are involved around the world for this game. He meant player whoever he was plays not to win. Hmmm don't know lah. No comment. I prefer to watch a football game in terms of team spirit and not of the betting scene.

I stayed up until around 2.45am for Final Score. I think Alan Smith nearly came to tears at one point during the 'man of the match' interview. Yeah he is the 'Man of The Match' for ManUtd vs Chelsea game. He said Keane bashing really wake them all up. Although he didn't mentioned 'Keane' but 'you all know who he is'. Cute Smithy and good job...hahahaha. Listening to MU's gaffer speaking and Jose Mourinho were two contrast thing. Ahem...watch the repeat of the interview lah if you didn't watch. Or click on their names to reveal the written interview from Soccernet.

Ohh btw, do tune in this coming Tuesday and Thursday football talk show(Football Focus). There's some talking going on about this game.

MU, you did it! Well Done! Hopefully this effort will not end at Chelsea instead will continue well towards the 2005/2006 season and so on.

Wohooooooooooooo!!!! MU! MU! MU! I end up sleeping at 3.45am due to over-flowed of adrenaline. I was reading 'The Broker'. In the end, I had a very satisfying smile before I succumb to a very 'odd' dream. Tell you later about this dream.

The winning-goal celebration.

The Result of Long Holiday Deepa-Raya

2005-11-06T21:15:00.000+08:00

Since for us Chinese have 1 week of holiday, I myself have been feeling the effect of post Deepa-Raya. The most horrible post Deepa-Raya effect that I am encountering right now is I have sleepless night!

Man! I sleep during the day and was having sleeplessness during the night. I can only sleep at about 3am. I read my new novel 'The Broker' nearly half of the book already...just to make me tired so that I can sleep. I was planning to read little by little because I savour John Grisham's novel. But 'The Broker' is so exciting. Once I read, I can't put it down. I wonder whether my biological clock can change to normal on Tuesday when I starts work ?

I spent my 1 week holidays sleeping, watching TV, surf net, blogging, play PC games and cooking. Yes, you read right! I only went to shop twice. Hehehehehe...I cooked lunch for few days and I used onions as my main ingredient!!! And I farted so many times man. Very smelly....wuarghhhh But I still like onion no matter what. And garlic too but I onion the best. Hmmmmmm...

Happy working for those who starts on Monday. Neh neh neh neh...

Tonight: ManUtd Vs Chelsea

2005-11-06T15:47:00.000+08:00

MUST watch tonite!

Hey hey what do you know ? Tonite's the nite. The nite where you must keep your eyes open for the most beautiful game in the world is having a war craft. The war between MU vs Chelsea!

Some people said this game is just going one way.

Vengeance is in the air.
There'll be many yellow cards and foul mouth.

Can MU make a different in today's game ? or is Chelsea gonna give the ultimate humiliation to MU in MU's home ground ?

Ohhh I hope God can speed up the hours. Can't wait man!

Play to win this war!

Hearty Meal & Pieces of Pad

2005-11-06T15:18:00.000+08:00

Just now we went to Puchong for some matter and then have breakfast+lunch over at Puchong. We planned to eat at Restaurant 100 but end up having our break at Kim Huat Dim Sum Restaurant because I saw many customer there.

This was a wrong move. The dim sum are not as nice and delicious as SS2's dim sum. The waiter and waitress acts as if we are not there. Urggh anyway we ate 10 plates of dim sums and 1 teapot of 'char wong'. The bill totaled RM35. We then went to Restaurant 100 for our 2nd meal. Yeah you guess right! We are not full yet.

After our hearty meals we went back home and on the way it was raining so heavily. One of the worst that I've seen for so long. When we reached home, guess what we found ?

Our house inside was so wet and there's white stuff like paper on the floor. Chester's fur was wet. Hehehehehehe he's been digging up water from his water bowl. Aiyoyo. He just bathed yesterday. Lastly we found out that the white stuff on the floor is a pad. Apparently my mom have left a pad on a chair where Chester can reach. Pity that pad...there were bits and pieces of pad in his water bowl and on the floor. Naughty naughty naughty! When my mom mop the floor, Chester eyed her with a 'pity' eye.

I scare pad have chemical in them and Chester biting and maybe 'surely' eating some of the pieces have effect on him. Argghhhh!

Bye Bye White Lab

2005-11-05T14:35:00.000+08:00

I called my neighbour's dog as White Lab because his real name is an Indian name(ya lah my neighbour is an Indian).

They move away on 31st Oct. Bye bye White Lab.

White Lab, Lab as in Labrador as in Labrador Retriever. I pity White Lab. You see before him, my neighbour reared another dog and they loved that dog so much. And when one of my neighbour's son accidentaly ramped their dog(not sure about the real story), the dog died. Sob sob sob...

Not long after a puppy by the name White Lab was adopted by them. But from what I see over the fence, White Lab never have the independance what their first dog have. They chained him at their driveway WHOLE DAY!!! and only let him out to play when their master are home for a PLAY or HANGING OUT awhile near the gate and during potty time.

I guess they are scared something bad will happen to White Lab. I very seldom hear White Lab bark. He will always shows his smiley face to Chester and me. May you have a wonderful lifetime. Missing you, White Lab!

Cheater: Tesco & Guardian

2005-11-05T12:39:00.000+08:00

Pity us! We encountered another cheater just a few days after Cheater:Baskin Robbins case. This time it was Tesco.

Urgghhh! Belum kena belum tau! Now i 'tau'. I read and heard many 'cheats' story of Tesco and Giant and now I kena.

We bought many stuff at Tesco a couple of days ago. One of the item is Chicken Cocktail which was RM1.99/g *Special Offers. The special offer price tag was situated below the normal price tag of RM2.69/g at the showcase area. We found out later at home that forking Tesco charged us RM2.69/g!!!!! Hey they were lucky that I didn't realise this cheat at Tesco. If not I will request that forking cashier to right the wrong price!

Another case I've encoutered was at Guardian. Their reason was they forgot to remove the discount price tag. Shit lah. But luckily finally they charged me with the discounted price. That's why I still continue to patronise Guardian.

Hehehehe I had a good laugh when my friend, babylovebites had a 'war of words' with a Giant's cashier. She promised not to shop at Giant anymore.

For me ? Dunno lah...how ar ? Hmmm I'll shop lesser at hypermarket and will support supermarket more! Hahahahahahaha!!!

Cheater:Baskin Robbins

2005-11-04T01:02:00.000+08:00

Woow the world's famous ice-cream!

My new 'expensive' indulgence is Baskin Robbins ice-cream! Thanks to my mom who bought 2 tubs of Baskin Robbins ice-cream! about 2 months back during the 31st of the month where all the hand-packed ice-cream tubs are entittled to 31% discount!

Of course I know that Baskin Robbins' ice-cream is yummy even before I tasted it but it's expensive too. I don't want to start eating it and can't stop eating it! For me, if something taste good I'll continue to patronize the shop and given my current finance situation I think it's best I leave this indulgence first.

Like for eg. on 31st Oct my mom and sis bought 2 tubs of Baskin Robbins ice-cream. I've got nothing to do with it but just eat em. I didn't enter the shop nor was I paying any of it. Smart girl! Hahahahahaha!

"Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins began making ice cream in 1945. Their mission was to create delicious ice cream concoctions with loads of ingredients and fanciful names. Since then, over 1,000 different ice cream flavors have been created and enjoyed by ice cream lovers everywhere. From the initial concept of 31 flavors - one for every day of the month - Baskin-Robbins has become the largest chain of ice cream stores in the world."

Hmm now you know why Baskin Robbins' logo have the number 31. By the way, Dunkin' Donuts is Baskin Robbins sister brand. Now I know the connection because their logo's have something very similiar but I can't place it until now.

But we felt cheated by Baskin Robbins! Why ? Refer to the receipt below.

Grrrrrrrrr

How could they charged us government tax 5% twice ???????? Either Baskin is cheating or the cashier is plain stupid!
Has any of you had this similiar case before ?
Don't ever go to Bukit Tinggi, Klang's Baskin Robbins!
Funny things is my sis just realised about this yesterday! hahahahahahaha

My First Dog - Unfinished Story...

2005-10-31T23:36:00.000+08:00

With regards to My Che-Cheh post in January this year, I am finally going to bare all the happy and many sad moments about my first dog. Chester is my second dog. Lassie is my first dog and I miss him so so so much.

I guess now only I have the 'bravery' to tell all what I've been through. I always wanted a dog and I knew I will name my dog Lassie. So one fine day, ....oh no a lump form in my throat. I have no way to continue telling this story of Lassie. I guess another day will come when I am 'prepare'. I'm so sad after I reminiscence about the fate that Lassie and me had to endured years ago. I'm gonna cry later in bed. Sorry.

Ohhh Shuck! Manchester United LOST Big Time

2005-10-30T21:59:00.000+08:00

The moment Mendieta scored the first goal for Middlesbrough at 2 mins I knew something was wrong. The more I watch the more I realised something was troubling Manchester United team who wore blue jersey in this away game.

It was the lack of passion and desire. They were worst than a child football team. All of them seem to have a mind of their own. Even Rooney and Van der Sar ?!

Where Middlesbrough excelled in ball passing, ManUtd failed miserably.
Where Middlesbrough defended so well, ManUtd stand dreaming away. They didn't defend the opposition ball. They just stood there and imagined the ball will come to them. Chee sin!

At half time I knew all was over. Finally I knew what they lack. They lack Giggs, Neville and Ronaldo. Players that can feed the ball to strikers. Now I know what a mistake Fergie made by selling Beckham. Ohmygod, now only I understand after 2 years ? Shame on me!!!

Although Ronaldo headed in Manchester United 1000th goal but there was nothing to celebrate. As a Manchester United fan I will always support them.

Their 12th EPL game(this coming weekend) is meeting Chelsea at Old Trafford. This I know will turn out a 1 way game. Yes Chelsea will win and if ManUtd is lucky try to draw the game but no winning it! Because ManUtd has no class right now!(hate to said it but it's true).

Ohhh What A Boring Sunday

2005-10-30T17:59:00.000+08:00

My Cool Tricycle - Part 2 - Nightmare & The Truth

2005-10-28T11:51:00.000+08:00

Continuation from My Cool Tricycle - Part 1 - Nightmare & The Happy Days

I asked my mom and grandma and both said someone stole it few days ago. At once I don’t believe them and knew they were lying. They said now days people steal steel because the price of steel is high. Still they don’t want to admit it. I knew they were lying because there’s no stealing or ‘masuk pencuri’ case at my neighborhood for years(touch wood) and also because their face tell me the truth already. Hehehehehe But I cannot do anything but to feel sorry for myself. Why didn’t I protect my tricycle ?

That tricycle was old and rusty and I have promised them that I will paint the tricycle 1 day and let my child use this tricycle. Argghhh. At least let me have a chance to say good bye to my tricycle(like my mattress case). I forget what part did my father play in this tricycle missing case.

To cut the long story short, it’s nearly 10 years now after my tricycle have gone missing and I still miss my tricycle sometimes. Sob sob sob.Throughout the 10 years I did ask my mom and grandma again and again what they have done to my tricycle but they still don’t want to tell me.

Just last week I mentioned again this matter to my grandma coz I was throwing my baby's mattress away and I bring up this subject of never have the chance to say good bye to my tricycle. She kept her mouth shut! Yet I mumbled ‘I knew you guys threw it away, right?’ SILENCE ‘Why don’t want to tell me ?’ SILENCE…so I back off.

Ahem ahem ahem...but I got the truth out just now when I was just starting to write about this subject. You see I forget who gave me that tricycle so I just rang my mom at her office and ask her. Here’s the conversation:

Me: Mi, you remember the **bicycle that I have when I was little ?
Mom: Ya
Me: Was it given by our aunty or someone gave it to me ? The one you threw away.
Mom: Why you ask ?
Me: Who gave it to me ?
Mom: Dad’s fren(she thought I was asking about Le Run bicycle coz the Le Run bike was given by my dad’s friend).
Me: You sure ? Not aunty ? The one with 3 wheels wor.
Mom: Oh yeah aunty give.
Me: What happened to that tricycle ? You threw away right ?
Mom: Yeah throw away.
Me: Hahahahahaha finally you tell me the secret.
Mom: Ha! So long ago I can’t remember(she meant she can’t remember that she bluffed me).
Me: Hahahahahahha at last.
Mom: Why you ask ?
Me: Writing something. Bye. Hehehehe!
Mom: Bye

***I said bicycle and not tricycle coz I don’t know what to call tricycle in Hokkien.

Even though my mom finally ‘accidentally’ admits about throwing away my tricycle I still feel sad man! Arggggggggggggghhhh(fire come out of my mouth). When a dragon gets angry don’t come near!

That's me and sis. Posing lah kononnya. We owned this tricycle when I was about 5 years old. In this picture, I think I'm in primary school already.

My Cool Tricycle - Part 1 - Happy Days

2005-10-28T08:46:00.000+08:00

I’ve been blogging about my childhood stuffs this few days namely beloved mattress and childhood pillow. Here’s another one about my cool childhood tricycle.

This cool tricycle was given to me by my uncle(actually my uncle age different from me about 10 years)when I was small.

Why cool ? I used to imagine driving a taxi instead of a tricycle when I REALLY was riding a tricycle. Hahahaha. Between the tricycle handle is the middle body(steel). And at this steel there’s an opening(look at the picture which I drew) and I would imagine not only driving a taxi but with passenger too. My sister was the passenger where she will stand behind me coz there’s a place to stand between the wheels at the back. However this ‘taxi’ also needs fuel. I used the garden hose to fill the hole up with water and ride on. The water actually travels through the tricycle’s steel hole and go out between the wheels just like an exhaust. Wherever I ride, the tricycle will leave dot of water on the floor until no more water can be seen on the floor then I will have to refill it again with WATER!

I also used to ride my tricycle on the garden where it’s bumpy. Cool! But I don’t find anything interesting about my imaginary taxi when I grew up(having my own car or pumping petrol) but I like speed. Yeah speed kill but not when you know when to speed and when not to.

Anyway I still keep this tricycle even when I went to college. I stayed near the college and only went home every weekend. Although I have a Le Run bicycle when I was a teenage yet I still keep this tricycle of mine in front of our porch.

One fine Saturday I came home from college and went back home and found my tricycle has gone missing.

To be continued…

A sketch of my cool tricycle with 'petrol'. See the blue dots. Forget to add pedals. Hahahahaha nevermind. I drew this sketch without looking at photos of my tricycle. I imagine back what my tricycle look like. Compare this sketch with the real picture in part 2!

Juadah Ohh Ohhh Ohhh Juadah

2005-10-27T22:02:00.000+08:00

I love Ramadhan month. Coz FOOD are aplenty, coz FOOD are more in variety, coz FOOD are everywhere and coz FOOD by the sight and smell of it can make you go crazy! I'm a Chinese girl who just love Malay's FOOD!

Bring on Nasi Bryani, Nasi Dagang, Nasi Kelantan, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Minyak, Nasi Tomato, Roti Jala, Murtabak, Kuih Cara Berlauk, Karipap, Otak-Otak, Satay, Pulut Panggang, Kuih Pelita, Nasi Campur...I'll wallop ALL! Doesn't matter my stomach gonna burst out but just bring it on!

So far I've tried Bangsar and Shah Alam's Juadah(as usual). Most of the food this year kind of not so yummylicious except for Kuih Pelita which I slurp slurp and pass on some to Chester. And of course I finally found out that Kuih Cara Berlauk's name.

There was once when I was buying Murtabak at one of the many stalls in Shah Alam. Suddenly came a guy and told the Murtabak seller 'Kamu punya Murtabak paling sedap dalam seluruh Shah Alam'. The Murtabak seller was grinning 'Ya ke?' and the guy said 'Ya mana-mana tempat I cuba but kamu punya Murtabak paling best! I datang lagi nak beli'. I was grinning away because I have choose the 'right' stall. I brought home my Murtabak and with high hopes put a piece of Murtabak into my mouth. Ngaum ngaum ngaum...cehhh the Murtabak did not even stand a chance in my OK food level.

BUT 1 place remain the best Juadah food that I have ever tasted. That's at my neighbour office's canteen. There's the hot Nasi Goreng which is white in color but HOT man!, Bihun Goreng(yummmm ohhhh), Kueh Teow Goreng(the best of all !!!)...know why ? When you undo the Kueh Teow Goreng package, the first thing you see is red! Red oil, red chili, spicy man! The moment you put some Kueh Teow into your mouth....foooooooooooooo(your body is on fire).

Another food that is the best of all is Murtabak. This canteen's Murtabak just cost RM1.80 and looks normal from the packaging. Pour some kuah curry onto the Murtabak and start using both of your hand to tear the Murtabak apart. Put some into your mouth. Walau eh...so nice wan ar. My GOD...So soft, so tender and the curry is just right. Even eating with red onion slices taste so good man.

My mission on 28th October 2005 is to grab 1 packet of Bihun Goreng, 2 packets of Murtabak and 2 packets of Kueh Teow Goreng at my neighbour office's canteen. But I must be fast because by end of the working hours all those food is going to dissappear. Wish me luck!

My 'Baby' Mattress

2005-10-25T11:30:00.000+08:00

This is my mattress when I used it as a baby in the cot!!! My parents bought this mattress at the time I was born and today, after x0 years I will throw this loving and full of memory mattress away. I urinated many times(when I was little lah) on this mattress and this mattress continue to protect my body from sore and leg(because when I grew bigger I used this mattress like a blanket(actually more like a leg blanket) until today.

Why did I throw my beloved mattress away ? Because as seen above, alot of 'sponge' particle from the mattress have been falling out onto my bed. There are a lot of 'injured' places at my beloved mattress at both ends. So I guess it is TIME to throw away my x0 years old mattress.

Even Chester feel sad.(camera trick only)

On a fine Sunday morning I finally have the guts to cut my 'baby' mattress into pieces(coz perbandaran people won't collect the mattress if we didn't cut em) and threw into black plastic bag. Sob sob sob. Monday onwards I use my quilt comforter for a leg blanket. I already have a silk quilt blanket to cover me if I'm cold during the night. Miss my 'leg' blanket already.

Too bad my area is not in Jaring Broadband coverage. I’ll wait...a little much longer and our effort will bear fruit. Sadly to say I’m using Jaring Dial Up at home with a mere 56.6kbps but usually we will get around 40kbps. BUT at my office, we are using 100Mbps connection. Wohooooooo...

Luckily we(sis and me) didn’t apply for Streamyx in August. That time Streamyx was having promotion for 512kbps packages. Yuck yuck ptuii ptuiiii...

No hard feelings but I've heard so many bad stuff about Streamyx that makes me choose Jaring instead.

My Grandma's Eye Condition is Well

2005-10-24T20:21:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday, we brought my grandma to Tun Hussein Onn Eye Hospital for ‘hopefully’ the last time. Dr Saras told us that her left eye has heal completely and she don’t have to go for regular eye checkup again. Unless there’s anything wrong then we need to call to make an appointment. BTW, my grandma’s cataract surgery is called Small Incision or better known as ‘Laser’ for old people.

My grandma makes a long sighted spec at the hospital’s shop after that. She need the spec for reading ‘Buddhist’ praying book and cut her nails. Overall her spec costs a mere RM110. Cheap eh. Not sure about her power though coz I forget to take note. Her short sighted power has disappeared after the surgery.

I would like to recommend anyone who wanted to check his/her eye to go to Tun Hussein Onn Eye Hospital because the service is exceptional and the doctor and nurses are very friendly. Some of them such as Dr Saras and the optometrist who check my grandma(who is a Malay) know how to speak a few Cantonese words.

After that we went to eat dim sum. This time my sis didn’t come with us because of her conjunctivitis. Only mom and me accompanied grandma. This is the first time my grandma eat ‘pantang’ food such as seafood(because she's worry about infection at her eye’s scar). FYI, dim sum consists of prawn too.

Today my cousin sister bring my grandma to Assunta Hospital for ‘double’ check due to my grandma felt down that day.

p/s: my mom said the rewiring of the whole house due to overload of current costs around RM1.6k. Aiyooo money disappear but as long as we are safe then OK.

Chester Scared of Party Hat

2005-10-24T08:23:00.000+08:00

I woke up to a Sunday morning with no electricity. Damn. It wasn't until about 10am that my mom called TNB. Not long after a TNB guy came to our house. Aiseh only our house no electricity. SHIT! He said must call an electrician. Our main switch have blown because cannot support 2 air-conds and 1 clothes dryer(that take up quite alot of electricity). At that time, Chester was barking so loud while my sister 'jaga' him. I was sleeping(yeah it's hot but what to do) again and when I got up, got Chester's birthday party hat and let Chester wear on his head. Immediately he keep quite and lie down. Hahahahahaha! Peace at last. And when the TNB guy went out the door, I removed his party hat and immediately he sprint out but of course he has missed catching that guy. Hahahaha

At about 1pm, the electrician boss(who knew my mom) came and have a check on the switch. Of course Chester was barking and growling again. I was so proud of Chester actually because he has the sense/feeling of protecting us and house from strangers. Mind you, he won't snap/bite at stranger. His mission is to sniff them out. And if he don't like the fellow he will just continue barking or move away and lie down, as if nothing have happened. So again we put on his party hat.

After I bath him at around 3pm and let him dry outside, the electrician finally come to our rescue. Of course Chester was barking madly and of course we put on his party hat again. Hahahahaha he looks so cute man! Then we remove his party hat the moment the electrician stepped out of our house but of course Chester did not managed to catch him again. Finally we have electricity back and immediately my dad go to sleep, mom iron, sis read magazine, grandma sleep and I go surf net and later sleep. Today, electricians will rewire the whole house by changing to a bigger cable and more advanced switches. I wonder how much will it cost. Sis will 'jaga' the house and my mom will be back to house when they come.

Now we will know what to do when our friend visit us. I'm glad I didn't throw Chester's birthday party hat away. *wink wink wink

BTW, my sister got conjunctivitis since Friday and she get 2 days MC for Monday and Tuesday. Her eyes is so red! Pity her...doctor said can't eat meat and seafood(seafood I understand but what about meat ??). She also cannot read or watch tv but then she did read a little IF not what to do.

A Bunch of Idiotic Drivers

2005-10-22T20:52:00.000+08:00

Today I saw something so unusual at a + junction on the way to Port Klang. I don't think anything like this has happened before(I asked my dad whether this situation happened in KL and he said NO!).

The traffic light at one of the road had already turned red BUT streams of car still passing the junction. Streams of car does not mean just 2 or 3 cars zip zap through BUT about 10-16 cars zip zap through. The last car were caught by us and some cars at our side honned that Kembara which was drove by a lady!!!

We thought their side's traffic light is malfunction but nope. The traffic light works perfectly. Only those drivers already 'chee sin'. Why are they risking their life like that ?

I used to speed up whenever I see traffic light turning yellow(if I'm quite near) or already turned red but now I stopped doing that. But if I'm already 1 car away and the light turn yellow then I got to just move because if I stop suddenly then the car at the back might ramp into my car.

I truly truly truly support the idea of installing timer countdown at each and every traffic light in Malaysia. I've seen this timer thing at Melaka several years ago and some part of KL and PJ. Good job! I really appreciate this idea because I don't have to feel 'was-was' when I am driving at a green traffic light. I can plan when to stop when I see the yellow light is coming in say 3 seconds. However only say about 10%(a handful) of the traffic lights are installed in Melaka, KL and PJ(total). I don't know where else in Malaysia or other country have this timer countdown installed at traffic light area.

May I dream about traffic lights tonight!

chee sin(cantonese) means crazy
was-was(bahasa malaysia) means cautious

Chilling ‘Winter’and New Orleans

2005-10-21T10:10:00.000+08:00

Ohhh don’t you hope you have more sleeping time now days ? Just like today for instance, the weather was cool at dawn and now it’s raining! I thought I will never see so much rain anymore after the hot weather monopolized us for many months. I’m at sleep mode right now, chilling out by writing blog. Hahahaha

Talk about the day after yesterday’s AR8. For the 4th leg of AR8, the contestants went to Mississippi and Louisiana for their challenges. That was several weeks before Katrina’s Hurricane attacked the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi and New Orleans(umph don’t know all are state or some are county). My heart felt for the victims of Katrina’s Hurricane when I saw New Orleans(such a nice country place) and the world longest bridge ’something like that’ (now I know why that bridge keep popping out in photos after the Katrina’s aftermath).

Ohh btw, I'm working today :(
