Stuff You Just Cant Have!

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Its Wed and i was stuck in the after pour jam in KL…whats new?Well,i then decided to detour to KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) Shopping Mall.I guess i preferred hanging out rather than being stuck in my 4WD.

Anyway,its only the 3rd week of the month and salary is yet to get banked in..Its not that i’m devastating poor;-but rather that i’m trying to save every penny to clear my loans(study+etc) and also for a dream(which i would not tell you!).

My fav shop;-Marks & Spencer…a ‘big gal’ ideal shop…I’m not ‘big’ but definately not Asian sized so Marks & Spenser definately carries European sizes which is SO ME!!:)As i was browsing through  the ‘value-priced’ session;i came across a Mac..brown suede..LOVELY till i looked at the tag and it was RM 300(USD 100)..It fitted me so well..i felt so warm in it…then reality knocked:-Do i really want to spend that much for a Mac>>???Yes…hahha…No…but i’d love to:)…Its just those days when you want something but the price is just too OFF…(i’m sure you guys/gals know what i mean).Its not that you cant afford it BUT its just a matter of principle for me;-i dont believe in spending more than RM 100 for a piece of jacket/blouse/skirt…call me a cheapskates(or however its spelt;p)

So to make me feel much better;i indulge in a nice cup of coffee and a Chilli’s old timer(hamburger)…You would be thinking that its silly me to waste money on food;-well when it comes to FOOD…oh GLORIOUS FOOD>>>…Its all atotally different story:)

Losing those tyres

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

“Big hot Mama!”

Well,that IS the expression  given by my guy friend,Alex;-if a lady with curves that are VOLUP-TUOS and pretty passes by.Sexiest?Well,perhaps not.

However,i would have to admit that i am pretty sensitive to remarks given to ladies with curves as i am too rather curvy and on the ‘meaty’ side…Obese?No..but a little overweight:)Blame it on my genes.,..Big arse ,boops and love handles!But trust me;i wasnt on the ‘chubby’ side my whole life.It started after uni and i think it was due to having a desk job and earning your own money which lead to having the opportunity to try out different food and indulge in luxuriously sinful FOOD!!!

And i’m sure all of you out there that has been on a diet before;it aint that easy losing all those ‘love handles’ or just going down a dress size!And i hate friends and family members that gives you”Hey,when yu going to get fit?”…Gosh;dont they know that FIT isnt about being skinny and i believe that if i am happy and confident ;yes;i would try to lose the ‘extras’ but we dont need the critics:)

Anyway,i would love to loose the kilos,BUT i am sure lucky that my hubby ADORES my ‘love handles’:) 

And just to share with you;i love watching ‘Summer With Nigella’..she truly is a HOT,CURVY Babe!

Signing off with a shot of my fav ”BABELICIOUS ” chef;- Nigella Lawson:

Coffee addict

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

I am a coffee addict…Some would correct it to be ‘caffeine addict’ but i would stick to the earlier…I just LOVE coffee!

I remembered smelling the REAL coffee brewing when i was growing up…you see;my granny had a coffee-shop and it was lovely!Black,thick,pounded coffee(Sailor brand) served with ‘roti bakar’(traditionally toasted bread over charcoal) with ‘kaya’(eggy greenish yummy jam!).

Ofcourse my mum gave me the green light to start drinking coffee once i turned 12..and that was the start of the coffee addict!I love the smell pf good coffee beans especially when they are grounded…

Many would prefer Starbucks or Coffee Bean…well,both are alright but my favourite would have o be San Francisco coffee!!!Ice-blended Mocha with a whole lot of whip cream on top!!Hmm,just typing it down makes me drool rite now…Maybe i’ll go grab a ‘Coffee-Beng’(coffee+milk+ice) from my nearby coffeeshop.Feeling rather thirsty.

 Anyway,i found some really nice coffee pics which will give you a good nite sleep;just thinking of it!

On All Fours

falling.jpg

Today was an embarrassing day…Just about to leave the office and there i went falling on all 4!Yes,i tripped trying to avoid my colleague’s chair and landed on all fours!sO EMBARRASSING!

I’m not sure on the moments but all i could think of was gosh,!Its so humiliating!!!Hurry and get up!!Yah…ofcourse my dear colleague or shall we name her ; “DramaQueen” couldnt even bother to help me up!Well,i guess that explains why i find this all so embarrassing and giving ‘pleasure’ to the enemy!

Well,worst of all my hubby laughed his heart out instead of consolling my bruised knees and palms!Who wouldnt!I would laugh my heart out tooo(yes,i’m that evil too).Anyway,i guess many could relate to that very moment when one falls down in public…It is that very moment that one wishes to pass quickly:)

Lazy Sunday

coffee.jpg

Now…today is Sunday and i dread the thought of getting back to work tomorrow..Last nite was a mess..having to attend a cousin’s wedding dinner and then having to rush over to see my tenant to get my monthly rental! I’m so busted and tired!

So ,my thoughts are;-what shall i do for the day?I actually plan to visit my uncle in Bangsar.His house was actually burglared last 2 days and DAMN those thief!! I mean people work hard for stuffs and there they come carting away hard eraned money! Life is just so unfair!! I miss those days back oin my hometown where we used to be able to leave our homes and not locked our outside gate:(and still felt safe…Well,i must also comment that urban neighbours are EXTREMELY SELFISH…They just dont seem to bother and just DONT BOTHER…i have to admit that i am guilty as hanged for this too:p.I just couldnt be bothered for my neighbour too!Hahhaha…i guess it comes naturally when you see them not being bothered should your house be violated or not…This i must say is ‘SOCIAL ILLNESS’.

Hmm,i do plan to eat and sleep for today..Weekends just dissapears so quickly nowaday.i just wonder where they go to.And her i am in my nightie (stoning at 8.50am) trying to figure how today will go while my hubby is snoring away next door.The pleasures men get for just being MAN….to snore away while the wife sits and plans the day :0

I guess i will just go and get myself a cuppa coffee…Nescafe with lots creamers and ice!(locally a.k.a as “Nescafe Beng”)..perhaps then,i shall get a clearer picture on what to do today:)

 Signing off;
