Me with the special guest

I remember when one of my friends tells me about her dream to become Samantha Brown. I giggled and told her that I want to be Ian Wright from the Globe Trekker as care free as I can be a travel around the world with no boundaries. We are both really a fanatic for almost every host in Discovery Channel’s Travel and Living. We are insanely crazy desires to meet every host in Travel and Living. Well chances are way real low to meet one of them. Time pass and bla bla…The next thing I know, I am dining with Ian Wright!

That special night happened on the 22nd of April 2010. The excitement and edginess started a day before. I am going to meet my traveler idol! The event starts at 7pm and we were hold up by an awful traffic jam. I am supposed to reach at the venue less than 10 minutes from my house and yet I got delayed. I reached at 7.30pm I end up sitting quite far from the stage where Ian will be the hosting a little talk on it. :S

 This is how far I am away from the stage. Sigh....

 I was served with Mojito's. I can't have enough of it. It's been awhile since I make my own cup. So I had a lot that night.

 Ian came out and starts to share about his experience in the world some least visited place.  Out of Bounds will be premiers in May 20th at 9 pm Channel 707.


When he is sharing his experiences, the guest were served with the food from where Ian has been.

 For appetizer we had Syrian Babagnoush  with Lebanese bread.I didn't get to capture the pictures as its like pita bread but more tasty .. hehhee This is what the meals look like.

Me and pc

I was rather hard working before I resigned 3 months ago with my odd job. I worked 12 hours a day and get no more than 2 days off in a month! Dad did drop by for lunch when I was working. That was the last time I saw him.

I got busy later that with some family sort of things and my planned trips. At present I find my self way too free. I hate to be home. I feel lonely even with my fur kids around. They sleep too much. I tend to make friends with my computer. It’s geeky and boring. Friends only have a little time for me via the net.

Me and PC, besides MSN, Facebooking, complaining others inefficiency via the email Gawd ! So I go kepo other sort of small thingy, click every button that got my way and this is how I got me a new theme for my Blog! The old green blog where a gal is listening to a head gear comforting on the sofa is so out of date. The gal doesn’t look like me ain’t it! Way to go with my new theme. I found a theme with a photo which looks like me! It has great combination of colors, designs and photos too. Any how, hope you guys like my new theme on the blog!

So what is next? Sien………I need interview!

The right time to talk

Do you have “TIMING” communication barriers with your partners, friends or family? I got a little inquisitiveness on this. When do you talk?

I habitually do some mind synching or updating planners - to do things for the next day in the middle of the night. As when the whole day of busyness has come to a halt this is where you can make planning and some stuff for the future.

I couldn’t immediately notify him as when the thoughts or plans come out. He is usually asleep. So I will remain it to my self till the next wee day before he goes to work. Unfortunately, my partner has a thing that he doesn’t fancy me to agitate him in the early morning with my long story. Therefore I attempt to call him while working; he is every so often too hectic to talk on phone. For me, SMS is just a fair way to communicate. It’s for short messages only. For example, inviting a friend to a party via a phone conversation is far more sincere than thru Facebooking. This is sad. So I remain silent till he returns from work. Men doesn’t like long story after work. I don’t really like to talk during dinner. As it’s time to actually enjoy and appreciate my dinner. Before sleeping? He is too vague to answer me. When do you think is the right time to converse to him?

I need an answer.

I had spent the most impulsive, heartbreaking, and indifferent thoughts in the early of this year. I have started my new year by canceling my flights to the Philippines then moaning for the death. It’s eerie. Life is beyond doubt unpredictable and unexplainable.

I am not sure if I want to say that if I am fortunate. If I am to judge against my life with my younger brother, I know I am way lucky than he is. Life treats him unfair. He is too young to suffer the consequences. What in actual fact happened in his before life that causes all this? But if I am to judge his life against some who suffers most. He is beyond doubt luckier than they are. Our lives are way too unfair to compete and to judge to each other. Why does it happen?  Shouldn’t it all be fair? Doesn’t god forgives ?

It’s just crazy when every now and then I can’t sleep thinking of all those eerie stuff in my head. What is there in the after life? Am I really going to meet those deceased? Are those dreams for real? If only gods know why.

3 weeks

I am so super duper lazy to write. And I have just found out that Michael Scofield died in the end of the season. What a total waste. He is too gorgeous to die! I love his blue eyes. Wonder if I can have baby with blue eyes. Hahah…. Some one wakes me up, unless my other half is not Chinese and is someone with blue eyes. I know I talk silly here….

I have passed the 3 busiest weeks ever. I sleep like more than 12 hours a day. What’s weird is I do find the day light ceases real fast these days. (Coz I wake up in the late noon.) :S

I was in Singapore for 3 times in 2 weeks time. One day visit to Bukit Tinggi and Elephant Sanctuary. Day by day friends and family visits and gather. Oh I love visits and “makan” with all of them. I enjoy each and everyone’s companion. Family and friends who I have been with lately, there is one request I got to state here; when I die I do hope that you guys would come and see the last me on my funeral. I am asking this for real remember this.

I never realized that I can cook real good omelet. I never cook at home. Hubby does the cooking all this while. I am just the dish washer. I was free and hungry one day. Explore my fridge. To my dismay I only found eggs, left over cheese and luncheon meat. Sorry, Maggie is my last resort k. Mind boggling, I beat the eggs, fried it .. add lots of cheese and meat folded it. Voila… Omelet..I tried one small piece. Worried it will be too awful I might want to trash it. Fuyoh … super sedap le. Better than the 5 star hotel chef in Bangkok. I my self can’t believe I can cook nice food haha.. I have not cook like for years. Hubby loves it too! I can’t reveal too much or else I have to prepare dinner everyday. Imagine this kind of wife… hahahaa….
