I lived another day

Who could ever know that I was saved by Liam, my dog! I was deep in my slumber when suddenly Liam (in living room) barked agitatedly. I was traumatized by the way he barked. I looked at the other two dogs, Faye and Pedro (in my bedroom) were staring  at the bedroom’s door.

I looked rushed out of my room and I was terrified to see my living room was filled with smoke. It was the smell of either burnt plastic or rubber.  Suddenly I noticed some sparks and flame coming out from the fuse box. I ponder no more, I hastily switched it off. I was so terrified that I might get electrocuted at some point.

Once the current halted, everything seemed so quiet. The air was still full of smoke. That no good smolder has definitely filled my lungs, I only ajar my main door and windowpane to let the smoke clear the air.

At the end of the day, it was fixed alright by an electrician. I was told it could have burnt the whole fuse box if I did not switch off the fuse box. Short circuit happened due to old loose electric wiring.

If it wasn’t for Liam I might died choking on the smoke or may be burnt to death. I am lucky to be alive and to have Liam. I am so proud to have him. Who knows a dog can be my savior.

I survive and live another day!

LIAM

My lucky charm , My hero!

ICQ

“O.h oh” – Remember the endearing sound from ICQ incoming message?


I miss chatting in ICQ so much. I was so eager to chat in ICQ after school; the internet connection at home was really sucks at that time. Usually I will drive to my friends’ or cousins house to please my addiction. What excite me most was waiting for ICQ to sign in where there was this sound of a ship blowing its horn, the full load of the flower logo reminding you that you have successfully signed in.

The whole list of my online and offline friends will show in a long vertical tab of mine. Eyeing on the online list was my favorite; chat starts right at that moment. ICQ has this special tab where you can search to chat with other ICQ user around the world. I kind of like that features where they have this advanced search for friends around the world. Don’t think we have this kind of features in the current chat we have. Current chat room it’s too revealing.

I tried to turn on my ICQ via my phone today for 24 hours. There were no active signs at all. NO one signs in. Sigh.

I am simply missing it..

Learning

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.

Sore eyes, bored attitude..

I am blinding in few more seconds. I am gazing my screen for not more than 30 minutes. How can I work??
Headache approaching, tummy churning .. puking any minutes now.
Anorexic!???
Get well soon will ya??

It's expensive to live here....

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?

Happy to be home

I am cuddling myself underneath my warm blanket. The air conditioner is breezing my room at 18 degree Celsius. I got the background Thai pop tune playing. I am lying on my tummy on my king size bed, - blogging.

Awesome! Simple and I like It. Imagining me looking at the Eiffel Tower though a window in a high rise luxury residence hotel. Paris… There goes the sign of sleepiness..

It’s been too long since I envisage or perhaps hallucinate on my bed comfortably. I have the ample time to linger. If life back there is possible, - just for me to linger on my bed doing nothing but to simply be delirious into the wonderland for hours or may be for a day. :P

One year of missing and I am happy to be home.

Where the hell was I in the past few months?

“Blink, Blink” O.O

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….

Birthday Month

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….

Authentic Indian vege food @ Sangeetha

Kent had told me many times about this delicious authentic Indian vegetarian food that he had with his friends a year ago. Time constraints have stop both of us having this authentic food together. I never get to be familiar with where it was till few days ago while we were pondering what to have for dinner. He decided we go down to Lebuh Ampang to have this Indian vege meal.

Once you step in the restaurant you can really feel your stomach begging for food. The aroma of the spices is so tempting that it makes me wanted to drool badly (which I didn’t! It’s a public area. How can I be so absurd?) I sat down, check the menu and I do not know where to start or even to order from there. Puri? Etc… I can’t even recall the names to type in here… I randomly poke the pictures in the menu to the waiter. I never regret for poking orders.

Borsch creamy soup i guess...

I can't recall the dish name. This is a must have! The curry paste is magnificent.

 Puri . Nice fluffy bread.

 The special meal with savory condiments. Thumbs up!

Nan with special paste.

Their tea is also a must try. They add fresh milk in their tea with some spices which really soothes your mood. I guess its kinda good for insomnia. I get sleepy after 2 sips heheehe...

Sangeetha is the name of the restaurant incase you have got curious. From Masjid Jamek LRT head to McD, Walk pass Mc.D you will see a traffic light. Walk across and its at that particular building.

It's a must try for those foodie who love Indian food.

Give a try.
