I always thought I was 100% addicted to blogging but to find out I’m only 75% addicted came as quite a surprise and Matt actually said, perhaps I cheated. Lol Matt!
Well.. perhaps I’m slowing down in my “old” age. I am turning 40 in March you know…hehehe…
Cheerio…
I’m hardly superstitious and let it be known that when I read horoscope, I only pay attention to the good bits and totally ignore the bad stuff.. so taking that into consideration, let’s see what my Chinese star has in store for me this year!!
Rooster
Opportunities await you this year. You should have good luck in career, romance and wealth. But you also have some unlucky stars.
Career: With three big lucky stars smiling on you, you should make significant progress in your career. You need not go out of your way to look for opportunities as they will come to you. If you do your best, you’ll achieve success. The Rooster loves luxury and works hard to procure a better life. A significant amount of money could come your way this year, perhaps an unexpected inheritance.
Love life: The married Rooster will enjoy a wonderful family life. The single Rooster should prepare to begin a new relationship. It’s a nice time for Roosters to get married and have a baby.
Health: If pregnant, the female Rooster must tread carefully. The male Rooster may have liver problems, so watch your health.
Take note: Talk less, work more.
LOL! Not bad at all… ok.. noted!
Cheerio…

There are lots of things in life that I never thought I would do. I never thought I would be an executive assistant for one. I never thought I would ever do accounts because I hate keeping books and the thought of handling other people’s money was beyond me.
But, ironically, these are very things that I am doing right now. I really enjoyed my career in Singapore once upon a time and keeping books for Azwaj’s company now is like second nature, though I don’t think I would be looking out for any jobs in banking as my next calling in life!
Other things that I thought I would never do was blogging and blog makeover but look at me now!! LOL!

I was going through some of my old post over at my woman blog and I realized that perhaps the reason why I’m not losing weight is because I am lacking sleep. It seems to have something to do with hormones (aren’t they all), called leptin that decreases with lack of sleep. Leptin is the key hormones responsible for reducing hunger and increasing the feeling of fullness. Now I know why I am hungry once it’s pass midnight!
Anyway, perhaps now that I know the reason, I should really try to get more sleep first and see what happens and leave Lipovox for another day. What do you say?

I only subscribe to one magazine and one magazine only. It is not only economical but Simply Her, the magazine, gives tips on products that work and products that don’t. It gives out not only diet pill reviews but also gives out free sample of beauty products that is currently on the market. Too bad I don’t live in Singapore though because for sure, I would be able to attend their workshop and things. Oh well..
Cheerio…
I was looking for some nice blog photos and look at what I found. Just nice to start my day today! Thank you very much!

What better time to have a “Have You Ever Tag” to usher in the new year. Thanks GP for tagging me dearie 🙂
Last year was a lot of first for me. Who knows what this year would bring?.. Oh I know..there’ll be a huge 4 in front of my age.. That’s a first! Lol!
So here we go!!!
1. Have you ever been on TV?
*Well, my voice was used in a voiceover for an animation series for our local tv channel. Does that count?
2. Have you ever sung in public?
*Yes, karaoke sessions with friends (same answer lah GP)
3. Have you ever dyed your hair blond?
*Never dyed my hair before. Was tempted too but according to my hair stylist, my hair is like “grey’ hair. The texture made it difficult to style and manipulate. I once had to sit for 8 hours to get my hair rebonded! Ah.. just like me.. stubborn hair for a stubborn person!
4. Have you ever eaten frogs’ legs?
*NO! and no desire to try!
5. Have you ever received a present that you really hated?
*Hm.. let me think… I could say YES, but then again it’s the thought that count right?
6. Have you ever walked into a lamp post?
*No, but I walked into people all the time..lol!
7. Have you ever cooked a meal by yourself for more than 15 people?
*Yup! I cooked my special Sambal Goreng and Rendang for Hari Raya 🙂
8. Have you ever fallen or stumbled in front of others?
*Oh yes.. I was at the airport on my way home from a business trip. I had my office attire on and high heels and things.. and the floor was slippery. The rest, as they say is history!
9. Have you ever done volunteer work?
*Yes, a long time ago when I was in college. Should do something now..:)
Ok now that I’ve humiliated myself.. lol.. let’s hear from (since GP has tagged them all…heheh)….Amel, Sushi and Karen!
Have fun!!
Azwaj called me yesterday at 10.28pm saying that since his friend was sending him home, he will not be able to stop anywhere to buy dinner and that I should just order something from Nandos. I tried calling the company up from that time to 11pm but got a busy tone instead so I’m guessing that the line was “made busy” as orders for home delivery ended at around 10.30pm or thereabouts. So we called McDonalds instead.
Our food arrived at around 12.30am after about 40minutes from our order so it was perfectly accepted. What was not accepted was that they forgot to include my order for chocolate sundae. I called their hotline number immediately and put in a complaint and was told someone from the the restaurant would call me. I waited till 12.48am and no one called. I put in another complain to their hotline and again was told someone would call me. This time I waited a good half an hour before calling the hotline again. This time no more miss nice woman. It was the bitchy LJ calling and I could actually hear terror in that girl voice. I told them that if I don’t get my order by the time I go to bed tonight, someone at the restaurant is gonna get it tomorrow when I go down the restaurant and I told the girl to tell that to whoever was in charge tonight at the outlet. I know the sundae does not cost that much but it’s the principle about it and LJ is all about principle.
Anyway, I got my sundae half an hour later after that call to the hotline number though no one actually called me from the outlet itself. I guess they were worried of a blast off in the middle in the night!
And now, since I had that sundae in the wee hours of the morning, I guess it’s time to visit the fitness equipment to work it off. Hmm.. or perhaps it can wait till tomorrow…hehehh..
Cheerio…
It’s Disney Theme for LJ today… a result from seeing too many illustration..hehhe! Another song that both me and Azwaj love singing our hearts to… Enjoy!!!

We found out that the pharmacy that I normally go to buy my asthma medicine is closing down end of this month. So in anticipation of that and for my own convenience, while I search out another pharmacy, I went on Asthma medicine purchasing frenzy. I bought four Seretide Accuhaler for my mom, and two of the evohaler version for myself and four ventolin inhaler as well! That should set my mom up for eight months and me for about 6months! OMG I feel so healthy already! LOL!
By the way the pharmacy is call PharmaCare and I heard they are closing all their branches in the whole of Malaysia. I loved this place because they offer 10% discount on all prescribed medicine and when yours cost like RM165 a box, you’re thankful for any discount you can get.
Anyone knows where else I can go now? Or does anyone know is this book is any good?
Cheerio…
Good thing I’ll be home the whole day tomorrow to do all these and set things right once again.
But if I could have two things right now.. I wish for a week stay at the Outer Banks rentals or my very own super maid to help me with all the chores!
Cheerio…
I think it’s a subtle way of the body telling me to slow down, or do something about it. My sleeping habit are less to be desired. So is my eating habit to be honest. The first sign of “aging” for me is that my old injured knee is creating problems. I had a terrible accident a while back that had me falling off my bicycle. I didn’t have surgery or anything but I think it may have done something to my knee bones. It hurts back then too but not as much and often as it does now. Nowadays, even climbing up stairs hurts!
Anyway, Azwaj advised me to start taking mult-vitamins from Centrum, that I got from the local pharmacy, which I did immediately and guess what, my condition has greatly improved. I noticed it immediately as now I don’t have that stabbing pain each time I stand on my right leg anymore.
That’s what aging is all about eh..

First Commenter.. LJ Loves Ya
The wedding is in June so I got plenty of time to start shopping for bridal gifts. A bunch of us have decided to throw her a bridal shower and present her with a sexy lingerie of some sort, perhaps a nice and sexy babydoll nightie or even some seductive corsets. Hahaha.. can’t wait to see the look on her face! What say you??

Others notes:
Had steam fish for dinner today.. even had second helpings of rice.. yumss. Was at the office from 6.30pm to midnight. Then had Teh Halia C, thats ginger tea with evaporated instead of condensed milk and a helping of toasted bread with butter. Yikes! Eating at midnight! No good 🙁

I’m seriously thinking of rendering Streamyx, my internet provider, here some form of assistance with their maintenance work. They informed us that due to some cabling work underneath the ocean somewhere out “there” we will be experiencing slower speed somewhat until 31st December 2008. Well it’s 2009 now and speed is still fluctuating like mad. I have my air tools, my sledge hammer and the biggest chain saw I can find to go hack someone to pieces.
Argh!!!

As I mentioned over at LJL, Azwaj was doing spring cleaning on his hard drive. He was selecting what songs to burn and what to delete and stuff like that. I love most of the songs that I heard. Among all of them, this was my favorite. I give you Firehouse with “I Live My Life for You”. How apt for this blog eh 🙂

Abah, my father-in-law, hurt himself today while climbing down the ladder from the rooftop. It was not the outdoor rooftop but rather the “inside” one. It was accessible only from mama’s sewing room.
It seemed after he was done, he climbed down, must have lost his footing somewhat and came tumbling down with the ladder. He has a deep cut on his shoulder caused by the edge of the bookshelf when he fell. He also had some bruises and his whole body all ache he said. Luckily mama was there when it happened but in her panic she can only watched as the whole incident happened before her eyes. She screamed for my SIL who was also at home and together they helped Abah away from the incident.
Luckily he did not suffer any serious injuries. In fact he refused to go to the doctor but I suspect the pain would actually set in the morning when all the bruises would be swollen. We advised him to lay off his gardening for the time being and hopes he listens 😉

Last year had been a year of first. First hospital stay. First surgery. First dj-ing and first voiceover! Wowee!!.. I wonder what 2009 have in store for me and Azwaj. I hope for all the best of course but if there are not so good ones, I’m sure both of us will be able to handle anything that life throws our way.
Here’s wishing everyone a happy, fruitful and another year of love and peace!
Cheerio…
