SomTum

OOOOO... I love papaya salad so much.. Never taste anything better than a spicy, sour and tasty papaya salad with cabbage, tomatoes and peanuts all married together.. Oooshhh..

Just came back from my Thailand trip and I have the most mouth watering Somtum ever in my life. With only 60 baht for a classy somtum or a 25 baht roadside somtum. Both taste ever the best.. Gosh I cant wait to go for my next meal in Thailand again.

Shopping is so much fun there and you should have seen the mall.. All are connected with a overhead bridge which makes walking from mall to mall so much convenient and easy access.

Will post more pics and stories of Thailand wihtin the next few weeks hopefully..

Stupid Online Buyer

Popularity of online transaction of 2nd hand goods is one of the best way to sell off any of our stuffs which could reach a wider buyer range compare to any other from of advertisement. It is also a good way of small profit making business to buy and sell such deals offered by people who needs cash.

Last night, I came across one most stupid idiotic buyer in my whole life. Kelv sold off a Sony Vaio which he bought through Brudirect. He manage to profit it off to a guy who works in JPA. The lappy is in excellent condition without a scratch with 11 months of warranty left from a local computer firm.

After the lappy was sold to the JPA guy. We thought another deal sealed but who knows this stupid idiotic JPA guy accused us for stealing the lappy and that we are selling stolen goods. Fuck man. Who in the world would sell a stolen laptop with the warranty card still valids with the full box, casing and all receipts right.

But this idiotic JPA guy keep calling wanting to know how the lappy was passed through. We have the right not to disclose how much we got it from the original buyer and the profit we made right. This is a money making business. This idiotic guy called me and I try to convinve him that its not and he still does not believes me. Fucking Shit fella.

He then send me a text, wanting my full name and details so that he can report to the police and to be certain that the lappy is not stolen. STUPID! He even went to the extend to contact the 1st owner of the laptop to confirm and found out how much it was sold for.

I am not such fool to give that ill-mannered idiotic guy my full name plus the lappy is already sold to him.

Come on. If such good deal of a new laptop which is barely used by the first owner and it is only 2 weeks old why cause so much trouble to find out so many things about the history of the laptop when the warranty is still valid.

Man. How in this world are there such stupid person. I argued with that idiotic guy for almost an hour and I made him feel so guilty of his accusation and my time explaining its not a stolen product.


How in the hell would such a ministry employ such idiotic person who bought a 2nd hand brand new Sony Vaio with the highest specs wanting to show it off by telling people its not a 2nd hand Sony and also who wanted to bring me to the Police for verification that it is not a stolen Lappy.

Jeopordise his career my ass. Fucking Stupid Asshole...

Steam Prok Ribs

I was down in Chempaka last Saturday night with my buddy Kelv for supper and tiger tea. Kelv and Tiong ordered a plate of pork ribs which tasted just like the dim sum kind that's being cooked except that it was a bit more spicy with the chillies on top of it. GOSH!!! It was so YUMMY. I had the whole plate of it and boy!, you should have seen me finishing the whole plate of pork ribs.

I am so craving for it rightnow. So I decided to look up the recipe for it through the internet and I found out that it was a simple dish to actually prepare. I am planning to go shopping for the ingredients soon and I can have all the delicious yummy pork ribs I can. If I can make it really good, then my friends would be able to taste my new craving dish of steam spicy pork ribs soon.

Just talking about it makes me hungry for more pork ribs......

Core Value

Being a very inquisitive gal who loves great adventure and who would not pass on any chance when there is something going on makes me ended up in one of the most unforgettable experience in the world. If you know what I am talking about .. YES.. ITS CV..

When my couin Keong first told me about CV, th first thing that came into my head was Curriculum Vitae.. and It was not that.. It was Core Value.. A Value Based Leadership course.. It was one of the those challenging courses which helps to guide us into the right path that our hearts desire and what our intentions of LIFe..

A Life changing experience for all my CV classmate.. I felt I was the only one there full of energy and hyperactively happy and content. Some of them had hard feeling to share which ended all of us in tears with their hardship, experiences and hard times in life. A wide eye opener for me.

I was able to meet so many nice people.. Actually people whom I classifies under my TEN... MY TEN energy friends who uplifts me every now and them....

My mentor, Linda Chandler is a one hell of a superb, fantastic, humorous, emphathy and sweet lady. You name it all. A very motivating person and YES... I ♥ her. She is so good in her field and boy.. she knows my life board well... lols


Pictures to share

Swine Flu

The heat of viruses are everywhere.. People are scared and to make things better and with a better and nicer atmospheric environment I have included some pictures of swine flu which I came across in an email... I was in fits of laughter and it brought a smile to my face of good "Sesame Street" memories

Miss Piggy and Kermit ... What A Happy Couple

Then came the deadle diseases because of Miss Piggy - End Result of Kermit

Daschund

I am so happy and excited as my dear friend Eddie is going to give me a daschund pup soon. Yes, yes, yes... He just bought a 6 month old female daschund at $150 for Ah Wong - his current daschund. Hahhahah... a wife and a mate... so its gonna be so cool to have a pure breed daschund,... I am counting the days in receiving a new member in my family.......

Well, Benjy left and had gone to a better place (Heaven) so its lonely to come home without a smiling enthusiastic face waiting at the door... Now, I can look forward in receiving one very soon..

Eddie I do hope the production starts very soon..... He plans to give me a pair again.. lols

I couldn't resist the urge to include these pictures I have googled from the web...... Aren't these doggies the cutest thing in the world...

PS.. Khern, I can't wait for u to see the new pup when ur back.. hopefully by then I have it already.... I am going to name it Kunu... (hahahahha.... as if.. NO)

MIxed Feelings

I was looking through some stuffs and came upon some sweet nice memories which deep down I feel the emptiness despite having the fear of which I am always so afraid of.... Hahhaha.. I am not goin to elaborate whatever I am saying....

I feel like a tortoise and I am always hiding in my shell. Well, this is what I am feeling now...

Another day has passed and I still can't find which direction and route should I take.... Somehow I wish I have a guardian angel or sort to guide me and pull me out from my dreamy state of mind........

Brunei Local Amateur Fair

Last Sunday which was on the 07th June 2009, me and the girls went to Muara Beach to celebrate Fen, Wern and Hung's Graduation... Yes, a triple threat celebration... But on that very Sunday it was a triple threat event for me as well...LOls !!!.

In the morning around 10am, I went to St George's Charity Food Fair and later after noon time before our picnic I dropped by CHMS FunFair. It was a very fully booked Sunday for me which I did not come across quite as often.

St George's Food Fair was a typical Bruneian Food Fair and it was my first time to step foot into St George's School... This reminds me when I was in high school where all the private schools dislike other private school students as we at that time find them very snobbish and a lot of other childish things which I don't seemed to understand why we were like that back then.. hahahahha, .

Anyway St George is so small like a horse shoe shape building of two levels and thats it. Yes.. Thats It.. OMG I seriously do not know how they contained all their students in that lot... Hahhahah.. probably the faith of God I presumed... Yes yes Yes... back to the food fair... There were all kinds of local food of assorted ranges such as rice dumplings, fried noodles, fast food, tidbits and other local pastries... The most interesting one was a stall which was selling on the spot barbeque pork meat.. Seriously..PORK..hahahahahah with the malays strolling there as well.. Such a sight not to be missed, but sadly I was not able to photogrph it as it was too crowded with people after Mass....

CHMS funfair was not as crowded as all those previous fairs. This year fair was more quiet and serene. Games were only a handfull and the only interesting part was me holding a can of isotonic drink on one hand and a popcorn on the other hand trying to spot my cousin who was there as well. I finished strolling the Fair in just 3 minutes.. Hahhahahaha.. That sums it all on how fun and interesting the fair was....

Beach Picnic

My triple threat celebration event continues ...

Fen, Keiko and I went to Muara Beach and arrived there almost 4 and the Beach was crowded with cars.. Meaning... NO PARKING... hahahahaha the parking lot was so small that I had to parked outside by the road side and walked in to NO.22 Hut of the Beach.

It was quite a nice afternoon and the sun was not that glaring as I sat behind a beam which shields me from it.. Hahahhahah.. Sie sat right directly facing the sun's glare but it's ok for her as she is super fair unlike me... super tan... hahahha

There were lots of food .... Courtesy from Fen, Wern and Sie... Very kind of them..

I managed to take few pictures when we headed towards the sandy beach area..... Please do enjoy the few shots I have taken with my Fuji Cam... lols

In Loving Memory

Benjy

My lovely Benjy... I love this dog so much and he is one hell of a pampered dog. But all in all he is my baby Benjy. Have you ever met a dog who doesn't really like to eat his dinner. He loves whatever we are eating and not whatever we had cooked for him. Really! This is one unique dog. Hahhahaha. Yes, Benjy always think that what we are eating is way much better than his food. Come on,... his food is always cooked specially for him everyday with a different menu from chops to beef and even a whole club sandwich which I made myself for my lunch. I actually made two servings one for me and the other for him... Eggs, cheese, raddish pickles, ham, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber all sandwiched between two slices of wholemeal bread..... Damn! He is one hell of a King..

I once cooked him a steak.. A steak which is not for dogs.... Like I said he is a pampered dog... When the steak is placed on his dish after I had grilled it to medium rare. He just sniffed and walked away.... sat in his usual place and stared at me... He gave the "it doesn't taste nice look"... I called out to him and he trotted towards me... I cut part of the steak and fed him.. He turned his head away so I got fed up and forced it into his mouth...My usual way of making him taste the food... He spat it out and looked at me with his "it doesn't taste nice look"... I waited there giving him my stare and he eventually ate it at slow pace.... This has become a routine and I honestly think that he loves this attention...

Sadly Benjy was most probably poisoned to death by those authorities as he went out for his evening walk. He never came back, so I the chances of being poisoned was high. Truly I waited so many weeks and yet no sign of him..... I missed his bark, his laziness and pampered attitude. I am still hoping for his return... anticipating it but to no avail....

Gracie

It has been so long since I last had a hamster as a pet. They are the most adorable creatures ever in the world and I could not resist the temptation of posting the pictures to share. Rodents and I only mean Hamster only are adorable. I used to have like 3o over hamster at a time as the breeding got out of hand and I probably cried 10 over times each one dies at that time. Hahahhaha... The life span of more than a year and the attachment to each and everyone is so strong that I would feel so heavy-hearted when their time comes. You should have seen the graveyard of mine of hamsters. Seriously, I was that sane to have an area in my backyard for my hamsters' grave.

Now and then I would miss the time whenever there is a hamster around. I actually have stopped having hamster as a pet. There was no apparent reason for that. The last hamster I had was an Algerain Dwarf hamster and boy! that hamster bites. My dog - Benjy would sit in front of the hamster cage and stared at it for hours. He was so cute, probably thinking when is the time the hamster would fill his stomach. My dear Benjy did not do anything to the hamster unless I played with it. Benjy would bark non-stop trying to bite it away from me... Hahhahahah

Irene's Farewell

Girl's Night Out

Image is blurry.. blame the drunken photgrapher

It was Irene's farewell dinner as she will be leaving for Kota Kinabalu this Saturday and also going to be stationed there permanently.. sniff sniff...

Time has come for her to choose her path of road and spent the rest of her life married to William. We are so happy for her and yet sad as well to see her leave Brunei.

We had our dinner at Twelv to celebrate her farewell but little did we know that Twelv was and IS an overrated restaurant. The food was OK for me as I ordered Black Pepper Rib Eye served with jacket potatoes and grilled veggies (I am being polite and courteous) . It was actually an average meal but the soup was horrible. We ordered mushroom soup which was supposedly really good. But it turns out so watery and completely taste of milk and cream with not a single mushroom taste at all. My mom would whip a better soup than a $5 petite bowl that was charged for each bowl. Perhaps a can Campbell's taste so much better at a cheaper cost.

Nevertheless, we overlooked the soup and enjoyed the celebration farewell.... It was a good one with lots of chit chattering.. It's been so long since we last came out for dinner with everyone presents..

Posing with Style

What can I say.. Look at the happy faces of my friends enjoying their meal... Hhahahaha..
Blu digging into her chops accompanied by an icy cold peppermint lime at her side and also ...Lung ... 4 words --- finished, satisfied ..smile ..PEACE

Hhahahahah ..overall an enjoyable night to end with...

Congrats to Irene on her new life with William...

Vincent

VINCENT

For those who knows me very well will definitely know who Vincent is. Hahahhahaha!!! Yes it is my one and only lovely pet lizard.....


Yes Indeed. My very own Vincent . Needless to say, I was so bored with my routine life at home when it just so happens that one lonely boring lizard too was perched on my window panel. Instantly, the name Vincent popped into my head so I named my so called lizard "Vincent".

How "LAME" could I be.. Lols.... For the love of god!!!!

Well, the lizard happens to be in a very green colour which is so remarkably beautiful. The colour was so lime green that I couldn't pass the chance to not photograph it....

Vincent's eyes were staring right through me and I was freaking like shit when I photographed it within a mere 2 inches away. It just stood there, perched up and monitoring my every movement without moving an inch. I can feel its eyes following me like an Owl. Its tail was so long. I think its almost a foot long.... Seriously .... I thought it was a chameleon and felt like adopting and putting it in a glass aquarium but unfortunately I can't.




Well... The question here is......What am I going to feed it with... Rice, noodles, meat, veggies or perhaps insects.. Hahhahahaha

Still Vincent is my so called pet lizard which roams around as it wishes... ahhahahhaha

Furthermore there is a song titled Vincent sang by Don McClean and cover by Josh Groban which totally matches the situation so perfectly.. Hhahahahahah..

Me and my ridiculous imaginative mind....
