Sng Buay

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

After lunch at Mekong, I went to the Asian grocer and bought some “sng buay”. And because I am currently sitting in an open concept office, people are curious about what I’m snacking after lunch. A few daring few tried and had their face shrivelled up. Hahaa… It is so funny

Asian. We eat strange things apparently.

Notti Card for a Notti Friend

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Saw this bright free post card and it instantly reminded me of BS (geez, I wonder why).

I had it on my desk at work the other day because I wanted to remind myself to write in it but instead, I caused quite a commotion. One of the manager who sat nearby couldn’t stop coming up with punch lines. And the girls around me, couldn’t stop giggling.

These are a few of the punch lines:

“Wanted to get you a scratch and sniff card …”

“Be warned that the card might emit a fishy smell…”

“It might smell like fish.”

But honestly, what are these people thinking? The post card says this:

It’s an Abalone. Such dirty minds! *tsk tsk tsk*

“G” clip

Bought this “H” clip for myself and got GL a “G” one. Was so excited about it and sent it to her almost immediately about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I was told that it was misplaced.

*sigh…

Hope it resurface soon and GL would be more careful.

Yarra Winery

Last Saturday, we did a very spontanous thing - we drove to the Yarra Winery to have lunch.

Lots of livestock on the way. I love cows!

The weather was great and sunny. Spring has somehow crept up on us. We had lunch at this winery place. Too bad, KL drove and had juice while I drank alone. Bought some wine and moved on to another place.

Went to the a Dairy farm and had the cheese platter, coffee and ice cream. Yes, barely a hour after we had lunch, we ate again. The cheese were damn super duper smelly. Not cheese-smelly, but cow-smelly. Hard to describe.

While KL stuff his face with cheese, I went out to say hello to the goat.

Just when we were about to leave, we saw the cows queuing to get milked. Too bad, can’t get to witness the milking process.

I hope there will be more outings like this more often. I really had fun…. stuffing my face.

Porky Pork

Because we label our meat in the freezer, I saw this and laughed. Can’t get KL to help out without messing around.

Must learn to say No

Friday, August 11th, 2006

I had 1 Krispy Kreme just after lunch, then lots of M&Ms, lollies and more chocolates.

I have a headache now. UGH!

Must learn to say “No, thanks.”

Whole Life in Green

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Whole life living in envy. While I try to s-l-o-w-l-y save money to buy what I want, while others beat me to it. Fuck! Whole fucking life like that.

Example 1:

tag-watch-alter-ego1.jpg

The Tag Heuer Alter Ego watch that I have been drooling since forever. Although I joke that I much prefer my “disposable” $30 Casio watch from Mustafa, I have been wanting a decent watch for a while. *sigh.

Example 2:

Elsa Peretti® Sevillana .jpg

Tiffany’s my friend. Wanted the diamond one but thought might never afford it so told myself to save for the non-diamond one. Saw it on a friend lately. *sigh.

Example 3:

wallet.jpg

Been looking for that perfect wallet and found it - found that it was too expensive and branded (LV). And, Oops! - Saw a friend had it. *sigh.

What to do? NOTHING! Resign to fate lor.

PMS Season

Monday, August 7th, 2006

Lately, I have been angry, moody, frustrated, envious, jealous, miserable, lonely and sometimes destructive too. I could bite anyone’s head off.

I don’t think I should write anything or else I might regret it or worse - hurt someone I love.
