I own a bucket list. Come to think again it might take forever to execute it. I might die in my sleep later. I am switching my bucket list to a wish-list (for shorter terms). I want to become skilled with lots of cognition.
1. I want to cook and bake and be a mixologist.
2. I yearn to converse, write and comprehend in other foreign languages.
3. I am so eager to become a diva for a plus size, perhaps an icon for a plus size in Malaysia fashion industry. We have been left out for so long. (It’s just an icon not Mia Tyler), I am a no body but it’s a dream for bigger people! We have plus size celebrities such as Queen Latifah, Adele, Emma Gems, Kat Brandy, Mia Tyler. So size shouldn’t be judged that arduous? I am sure no one is perfect; give us fat people a chance.
4. Make up! I am so into the smoky eyes right now. Practicing at home for fun.
5. Winning the jackpot in lottery!!! My priority wish and dream. Huat ah!!!!
I am doing half of the list now. Maybe I can continue more of the list after my sleep..
When I have the $$ (note: only 2$), I don’t have the time for myself. When I have the time I don’t have $. It’s so shitty.
There are times I find myself doing weird things that I should have recorded in a video. I might just upload it without typing. I yell for nonentity, I sing for fun, I tend to talk funny to Toby who doesn’t even care what I am mumbling about. He faced the other way whenever I babble to him. He must be thinking my minion is getting a bit too cuckoo.
My other 3 critters no longer smells, no matting and they look gorgeous and “na-rak” all the time. Faye and Pedro are kinda obedient substantially at times their reactions are a bit sluggish. I have to yell and ordered them. Not sure if they are deaf or they would like me to speak to them in other languages.
I am taking a language courses at my free time. What’s best on the subject of this language is, there are no tenses in it! No present, past or grammar! I am looking forward to converse it by the end of the course.
If only I can get a great idea for the extra $$$, there should have more stuff for me to do and learn. I really want to learn to surf. My body weight might be an issue, but it might be a great way to lose few stones from the swimming and dragging the surf board back to the ocean after I am washed up ashore. If time, place and $ permits I might fly to Bali or Gold Coast to have surfing lessons again.
I don’t feel like doing nothing right now. I want to grab and learn whatever I have interest in.
It’s sad to find out that a town like Tawau has such elevation of living expenses. Food is appallingly expensive, even dining in either Penang or Taipei, well sometimes in KL is much cheaper! Are the prices accorded as the authority’s stated? Price hikes …!!?? Is this their first step to take over the world??
Check out the houses etc. link houses; you wouldn’t believe the price they called. Tawau has great capacity of space in short with many acres of land, yet we are seeing nuisance price of houses. E.g. - RM300K- 400K for a 3+1 link house in undeveloped zone, bad roads - lots of pot holes, and bad transportation is mostly preposterous. Yet there are numbers of unoccupied new houses which have been sitting there for years.
What is the population like? Do we really need that much of mosquitos’ farm? Don’t you think there are other better things to build and improvised instead of burdening your own Tawau-ian to own a house? Why creates less opportunity for the average Joe?
Fark it’s almost end of the month. Where is my last production and submission? Subsequently when is the latest approval? For the past couple of months I have been doing irregular activities which I by no mean thought I will do in my whole life. KARMA! I am not going to mention what the hell I am exercising in my current job.
What do I do in my office? Not much to describe bout me work loads here. I read newspaper, wait for walk in. Attack the regulars, then I will bite their ears off. In no doubt there are some lame asses, which I get over it in few seconds. I don’t talk much to those asses. At some point, I will just sit back listen to my ipod and gaming with my phone. Hard job? Not really. Just some pushy problems at the end of the month – where are my figures????
Am I coping it? If my pocket is not desirable I have to start to sniff around. At the moment, I guess it’s just alright to stay put.
Life…Come to think again I want to go study …. MUAHAHAHA….
I have not been writing for ages. Life is tedious. Work, exam, sigh..
Let me share about my birthday month JULY or Luglio in Italian. I didn’t get to travel this month sigh, only if I have the extra money to go.
I started my new job in PJ, thought I will suffer my self in the crazy jam every morning, to my amaze I am kinda lucky. I can reach my office in 15 – 20 minutes time. Not too bad eh? So I was there in the company, I was paid to study in the company for a week. hahhaa…I was also being invited to attend the company’s kick star year in a 5 star hotel for 2 days 1 night near by a beach which is kinda awesome for some reason (my birthday surprise) where at some certain point its just plain dull. Anyhow I survive the dull part. Second working week started, we have more and more new colleagues coming in from other region. We are the first to start a batch with the feminine group, for a 2 weeks training program. Wonder where have all the boys gone? The girls are awesome, some are shy and quiet some are just wild!
Oh about my birthday, hubby is kinda romantic this year we had a posh quixotic Italian dinner in Changkat Bukit Bintang. I feel so loved. Hahaa.. Don’t think I want to share more here.
Sigh I feel so old now….
I think it’s time for me to generate a new fan club, Bangkok Kaki. What do you think? There will be discussions of food, area, transportation, budgets, interesting findings and etc. I am thrilled and satisfied that I finally made that tempting trip of mine to Bangkok last weekend. It was kind of impromptu visit. I was so raring to go during the red shirt politics conflict finally I took out my guts and went alone.
I by no means had enough with Bangkok. It seems like there are constantly more and more surprises at the end of each tapered street or what they call “soi”. Food! The main reason for flying all the way was for the authentic Thai cuisine. I love their street local hawker food. It’s so alluring that you want to keep going back as if you have been cast with their magic spells. Bangkok is like my second home. Once I step in Pathumwan I smell home and food. I am unbelievable content.
Call me crazy but I got this weird dream, I want to own a nice service apartment in Bangkok. Fly there as promptly as I wish, brush up my Thai and end up retired in a nice coast area of Thailand, well may be Hua Hin or Surat Thani.
Standard of living is not high. Food and transportation is cheap. Life is simple unless you have the other way of thoughts. You can’t utterly brawl the pros and cons of each country’s benefits. So let’s not argue about that…. In short
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All served. We got to taste every bit of it except for main course. The advantage of sitting that far from the stage is we can have all the food as not many people were sitting behind where I sat .
I volunteer up to play games on stage.
I am good in guessing games! I can solve it in 7 seconds. That I didn't know about it hahaha....
Our Team won!!!!
At the end of the game, we took some pictures and i return back to my sit continue with my desserts.
Syrian Blaklava, Okinawa Green Tea Truffles, Siberian Sweet Blinis.
Among all the gifts that i got I love this one very much!
At the end of the night I took Pictures with Ian and had him sign an autograph for me! This is the one night, once in a life time experience that is not going to be forget. Hope to meet him soon! or may be other host from Discovery!!!!
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!
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 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.
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….
Positively, I am happy that I am a year older, safe and sound as I am still alive and by all means I am still growing horizontally. Hahaha Yes another year wasted of nothing being accomplished. I am soon stepping into the eerie 30. Ouch! Time truly flies awfully fast. In a blink of an eye NO! NO! Few extra blinks of an eye a day passed then weeks, months and years.
I am not a mom yet. I am up to no obligation or anything so far. I love my mere life. I doubt why I don’t have such plan or resolution ahead?
Facing ups and downs are the nature of life. Well we do get rain and storm sometimes don’t we? Nothing is perfectly arranged or decided. So what is life?
My grandma passed away a month ago while great 4th grand uncle passed away early of this month, dad’s favorite uncle cause of death, internal bleeding. What shaken me was we had dinner a month ago discussing and arranging a trip to Sabah next year. A healthy man who took precaution of his food intake in every single meal died due to internal bleeding. Life is funny aint it? And all this while he thought he might die of stroke or heart attack! Grandma died in MRI machine and who knows how many dose of sedative was she jabbed with? Another funny and sad story isn’t it?
Let’s go to the good news. Let by gone be by gone. I don’t want my tears starts to roll.
I miss and love being with my family. I am glad that dad and brothers got the time to stop by for family reunion yesterday. I love the warmth feeling with the whole family. One word to describe it AWESOME! Being together in the family is truly an indescribable feeling. Their thoughts of care and love really give you the strength and encouragement to live in this humanity. You know when you get the feeling of an awful day or when you want to like just shut your self? This is where and when the family steps in and gives you the wisdom word of love. Chinese New year was the best part ever this year. Family flies over from KK, KL and Penang just for the reunion. Chinese New Year was never this merry in Tawau!
Early of the year, I participated in Air Asia’s fly to Australia contest. Well I didn’t manage to win even though I did collect the full sets of token. Some idiots won.*Sigh*. What I like most about the contest is the unity among my friends and family. We took care of each other by bartering and sharing our tokens every day, every 3 hours per day. We care for each other worrying who has got the least token and trying our best to get even. I love to thank those who simply registered just for me for the sake of getting me a token. That was at the early of this year, by early of November, I was told as the winner of Krispy Kreme’s contest. Again without the voters vote, I might not be the winner. Thanks to the supporters again. At least this is one of the happiest highlight of the year 2009. I am still waiting eagerly for their public announcement for the winners in early of next Jan. A week ago I got a second place in a History Channel Contest and got my self a set of DK travelers. So kinda not bad la.
I got my self a tattoo which I am swollen with pride of and well I can only admire it in front of the mirror. Well I guess I won’t have the possibility to hate my tattoo then since it is somewhere secluded. Yes dad knows about it. Hiding from him makes me guilty so dad has got to know to ease my guiltiness. I know I am mischievous.
Pedro has finally got his “license” to sleep in the bedroom with Kent and me. He has passed his toilet train. Pedro loves to wake Kent up in the wee morning for his early pee pee which is kinda annoying.
That is what my mere life is about. I do find my 2009 life is much more solemn than the years before. I am neither country nor politics. I ain’t no celebrity I ain’t no Tiger Woods. I don’t plan to adopt babies from other countries. I don’t get no awards in front of the stage. I won’t shave my head like Britney. I got no concert to cancel or sex tape to pass around. And there goes another year of my mere life …
Life is way too short not to celebrate it. Live like your dying everyday. You will know what I mean. Wishing you guys HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010! Best Wishes and Lots of Luck!
It was a devastated week. Grandma was scheduled to have her MRI scan on the 18th of November 2009 Wednesday due to her frequent headache and giddiness. At first doctor only claimed that it was her ear infection that drives her to dizziness and nausea. After weeks and months of antibiotic consumption, there were no melioration. Her health deteriorate drastically day by day.
She was pronounced dead in between her MRI scan. It was a shocking news! I was told she was fine and she is at her hunky-dory state. She even asked the doc’s permission for discharge before she was pushed into the MRI room. So what really happened inside there? I heard she was given sedative as grandma claimed she was too cold to continue with her scan which is only 15 minutes left to finished the whole process. Sedative given to cold and weak patient? MRI rooms are cold bloody idiots ! Doc and nurse, lab assistant came out quietly and pronounced the time of her death.
It was truly awful. Nothing can be done but heart filled with anxiety and doubtfulness. It sounded like murder.
Flash back of grandma keeps popping in my head.
- Our phone conversation.
- She at our home in Sabah taking care of mom when mom was bedridden.
- Taking care of us when we were young.
- The look of her happy face when we tell her some nasty jokes.
- Her delicious Kopi O breakfast and “yau char kaui”.
- She in her sarong.
There is too much to mention about her. She was one strong loving lady. Her high pitch of her voice always got people confused that she was angry. She was never mad at us. We were never got bawled out too. All she wants was her family members love and care. She hopes for her children and grandchildren to return and visit her often. That was the only thing she hopes and wants all along. Money don’t buy her happiness. She only wants to talk and meet us! But non of us took it seriously and we have took her and second aunt for granted. I regretted for not visiting her often.
Bye and sorry grandma! May her soul rest in peace.
I was actually flying off to Yogyakarta, Indonesia for 4 days 3 nights via Singapore last Friday which was on the 6th. After planning for months Sharon and I decided to postponed this trip as we were kinda worry about earthquake and tsunami.
So the air tickets were burnt and well I stay at home catching some Z's. It was my off day. Sleeping the whole day is what I love best.
My phone rang during my best slumber, ‘ Hello, is this Khor……? I am calling from Krispy Kreme. You have been selected as the winner in the Fave Fan Contest”
I was so awake and excited. I was asked to sign a document which the organizer sent to me via email and has to revert to her back asap as she needs to send back to the US. Can you imagine if I am in Yogya that day ? WIll I be selected as the winner? I am sure my phone will be in OFF mode if I am in a foreign country.
Well little that I know, my cancelled plan has saved me to another trip of USA. Am I lucky or what? Thanks a lot to my family and friends who have support and vote me to become the winner. Ever vote does count!
Goody goody. The voting period has finally ends. Family and friends sorry for the nuisance, and the chaotic of bugging you guys for daily and weeks. Thank you for your support and love all this while. Thank you for voting!
I agree that I am in desperate state. I want to win badly. 11 more days to end the voting period and 20 more days to go for the result to be announce.
All I want each days are more votes for me. I need voters to vote for me badly every minute. I started to become greedy. I feel giddy and impatient. Waiting for 24 hours to pass by just to vote 3 votes is just uneasy. The waiting is unbearable. I kept thinking of the hours and minutes to vote, that is the right exact time to vote. Its if’s too late to vote I might wasted my time the very next day as the voting process is starts accurately at every 24 hours.
Counting's days to end,……11 days For some who didn’t know why I am so desperate for this contest is this.
- The chance to design and name their own Krispy Kreme doughnut and potentially have it sold in their country - Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a year!

I can’t stand it no more. It’s been a week now. I want to scratch it real hard. I care no more of the pain. The chapped skin is stupidly itchy. My skin is flaking off. The ink has faded little bitty bit. Hubby keeps asking me to bear with it. My sweats worsen it. I don;t want to botch up the whole artistic creation. It took hours to get that piece marked permanently on my skin.
Bobby asked me to just slap on the itch. Well didn’t really help much. The itch is still there. I might snap within this few days. Psss…Beware my fellow peers, you don;t want to see me snarl!
“Jieh!! Did you feel the earth shake?”called out sis.
“ Got meh? No, I don’t feel anything. Wait I go ask around.”
“Wei , did the earth just judder or sneeze?”
“ Where got? Nola!”
“ Sis, Sorry no one felt a bit of it at all”
“Jieh, CL felt it in Mid Valley also. Everything was shaking here just now. I was so panicked!”
No one got hurt in this scene of phone call conversation or during the earth quake. Sister was traumatized.Fret not, she can still cope up with her life. Everything is back to normal half an hour later.
Mother Earth is in pain I guess. Human has disregarded that we are the harum-scarum that has stamp down their land. Tsunami, earthquake and typhoon has cause havoc at the South East Asia region. Land might have been shifted or relocated. Maps might have to re-alter. We are soon entering the danger zone of latitude and longitude then ..
War aren't that scary no more. The sudden rage of Mother Earth is what really shook the earth. There will be no place for man kind to hide the hideous rage. So?
LIVE YOUR LIFE! Don’t try to perplex things. Don’t crack your mind for some little debris that stuck somewhere in your oblongata. Nothing is more important than the one who is always right beside you! Clouds might fall, who knows? I am going to hug and love my self extra more now.
