Addicted & frustrated

I am SO desperate now!!!!! Heroes season 2 has started in the States but I can't seem to locate a single copy of it. Anyone out there manage to locate a copy of it?!?!?!

Super frust now!

Photo shooting session

Invited by a colleague of mine for photo shooting over at the PG International Lantern Festival at Auto City Juru. Looking at pictures from other photographers, looks very nice although need to pay RM15 per entry! Kinda tempted over the offer. :) It has been a while not snapping any pics, it's time to pick up the camera and make full use of it again.

Initially I thought that this Lantern Festival was only for a short period of time as had the impression it will be over once Mid Autumn Festival is over this week. Mana tau, the exhibition will be on until December!!! Wow...I was also told that the organizer will be adding more upcoming themes like Hari Raya, Depavali, and not forgetting Christmas!!!

Of course during Raya you will be seeing mostly green colored lanterns, Depavali and especially Christmas should be an interesting time to go for photo shoot as I expect them to be nice!

I've not done night shooting before and I bet my skills suck but I am tempted to take up the offer. I intend to have dinner over at the Chicago Rib House, what to eat? Of course RIBS!! My fav. Anyone tried out this place before? Don't misunderstand oh...taking pictures is the primary intention whereas having Ribs is an add on! To those avid photographers out there, anyone wanna join the outing??

Scratches

Poor me...
So many scratches
Here and there
Why oh why...
Why do you all treat me like that

Nevertheless I'm happy
As I've just received a gift
A new shinny coat...how nice!

Time will heal
I'm sure you will try your best to heal my scratches

Rain rain go away

It has been raining non-stop for the past 48hrs. Isn't it nice to sleep in? I don't get to wash my baby for the past 2 weeks already and she did not get a nice shining coat for the past 2 months! :( Wonder when will the rain stop???

Bought some Japanese language books from Kinokuniya. Will I ever have the determination to pick up the language this time round? Lets wait and see...

Trip to 1U

Woke up this morning feeling fully charged after the rest day yesterday. Decided to head out to 1U. Heard from colleague that there is a free shuttle bus to Ikano from Kelana Jaya LRT St. That's great I thought. It was quite a long journey having to take the LRT out to KJ from KLCC, 25 mins to be accurate. Upon reaching KJ at 10:35am, the free shuttle bus service to Ikano is 10am and the next one is at 11:30am. Oh no, made a mistake, I should have check out the shuttle schedule beforehand. Oh well, of course I am not going to sit there and wait 1 hr just for the free shuttle. Looking around the place, it's either taking Rapid KL or the cab to my intended destination.

Had a look at the signboards of Rapid KL, trying to figure out which bus route takes me to 1U. Confusing for a first timer *blush*. I went and ask the cab drivers seating there chit-chatting while waiting for water fish like me to approach them for business. "Pergi 1 Utama berapa?" I asked. The guy happily walked to his cab and asked me to follow him. He has not answered my question yet, so I asked again "Uncle, pergi 1 Utama berapa?" He said "15 Ringgit". I stopped walking and said "Har? Bukan jalan meter ka?"15 Ringgit tak boleh kurang?" "Tak boleh" was the answer. WHAT?!?! That is a total rip off man. "Takpa, I tak mau" was my next answer to him and walked off back to the bus stop. Asked some ppl waiting for buses there on which bus to take to 1U and they were kind enough to point me to the right bus which costs me only RM2 to 1U. Great!

Only did window shopping there. So happened that there was Honda roadshow there at new wing ground floor and guess what...apart from City and Civic which were on display there, Type R and Hybrid were on display too! Woohoo, that made my day man! Knowing that 光头梨dreams of owning Type R, so I SMS-ed to kacau him. Sorry ya, you couldn't concentrate on the seminar after that. Haha..I personally don't really like the interior of Type R. I checked out the Hybrid too, interior is fully leather with 6 CD changer as compared to 1.8 Civic. Exterior ducktail spoiler looks sporty and nice. However, I wonder if the 1.3 engine is sufficient for this big car? We shall wait for the review to see how it goes. For those Type R fans out there, the Honda roadshow is on until Sunday at new wing, 1 Utama ground floor. Go check it out!

R&R

别误会，在此R&R不是Roles & Responsibility, 而是Rest & Relax! 今天没打算去那里，翻开看看Spa Menu，好想去pamper下自己。看了价钱，又有点心疼因为价钱相当贵。最后，关了只眼睛下去Spa做appointment。现在我的裤袋破了个相当大的洞，嗨。但信好是一年一次。选择了一个steam, full body scrub和full body massage的package。两个字形容－relexing和ＳＯＮＧ！

Time off in KL

My legs are tired...have been walking since the shops opened this morning. The mega sales have just ended, yet I went shopping! It was more of a window shopping type but there were a few items on my list that I needed to get and I managed to find one that I like. It feels nice, not needing to think of work. Frankly, I perfer to shop overseas. Not that I am being snobbish or whatsoever but I dont like the culture here where you walk into a shop and the sales assistant will follow you around wherever you walk in the shop! Wonder which mall should I head to tomorrow. Or maybe I shall pamper myself at the spa tomorrow...Hehe...

Btw, PoiPoi if you reading this, I am enjoying my DUNKIN DONUT while typing this blog. Muahahah...I didn't bring my cam here this trip, so no pictures to tempt you. Geez this is so sinful I can tell you. I've lost 1.5kg the past month and plan to loose another 1.5kg this month. Just one donut won't kill me rite?! The funny thing when I was ordering the donut, I told the person "1 mocha donut to go" and she was looking at me. Only then I realized and told her "take away". Ngek...mindset still tuned to US. :)

Neeways...need to head to the gym to loose some weight...Later!!

冲劲力

嗨...近来毫无心情。不再拥有以前的冲劲力。以前做得蛮开心的。对工作上还蛮有兴趣的。可能是现在工作范围以不同了。感觉上范围已被缩小。想要去做的，但又要考虑到这还是不是我的工作范围，我应该不应该去做。搞得我兴趣也慢慢地减少了。

以前的我当有冲劲力去工作时，虽然做得蛮累的，但对自己的工作感得很满足；今天的我，范围被缩小，得做得也少了，应该好轻松，但反过来好无聊。是不是好矛盾呢？在这comfort zone也蛮久了，不懂是不是时间该考虑换环境呢...

还有两天就放假了，好高兴！好期望下个星期可以好好的休息， 不用为任何事情烦恼。啊对，需要烦恼的是不可以花太多钱啊！哈哈。但也好想花个痛快，too bad sales 已完了。Anyways, 有好几样东西是要买的。希望在那儿可以找到我喜欢的啦！Hoorey...can't wait!

这也是我第一次用华语post blog. 我的华语好烂，如果有什么差错，请原谅哦。SPM 考华语是刚刚好pass 的那种！

Cheap bargains

Accompanied parents to look for curtains at QB but ended up not purchasing any. Not that they were not nice, just that they decided not to change the curtains yet at this point of time. I had the intention to purchase a new pair of badminton shoes as my current pair is worn out. Saw that there were some cheap promotional Dunlop court shoes on sale for RM39.90, which was dirt cheap. The quality looks pretty satisfactory. Normal badminton shoes cost RM100 and above. So what the heck, I bought that pair of shoes.

Happily wore the pair of new shoes for training on Saturday. My good comments - shoe was comfy. My BAD comments - grip was not good and tiny bits of the rubber sole has come out!!! OMG! Luckily I brought along my old pair of shoes, so had to change back to the old shoes for the remaining session.

Dad asked me to go exchange to another pair of shoes of different brand from QB as I still have the receipt. I was thinking....can meh? This is Malaysia. Good customer service??? I seriously doubt so. If in the States, then that will be a different story.

So the moral behind this story → cheap bargains ≠good quality!!! Hai....
