12th March 2007
Down the drain, that is what I'm viewing. Singaporeans used to be very polite and well mannered but after my everyday trips going in and out of my country, Singapore, I'd say we have one of the rudest security personnels around.
We, the commuters, understand the responsibility the security personnels have to carry especially in the wee morning of 6-8am, making sure everything goes on smoothly and the country terrorist free. We also understand that they may be very tired since they have to scan everyone's items and vehicles and you have our sympathy when we see the personnels cutting half their life span away by breathing in the Carbon Monoxide gases caused by congested vehicles. Your service is greatly appreciated.
But that doesn't mean you can treat us like a pack of cattles every morning and raising your voice at us in your attempt to get the instruction through the crowd. Heck, we are human beings, adult working human beings who still pay taxes, not some highschool kids.
We, the commuters, wake up around 4am (we reach home from work at 9pm), some even earlier, in the morning braving through the heavily congested and unpredictable road traffics in Johor to Singapore in hopes to reach our workplace smoothly and if possible, happily. So I certainly do not like to be rudely treated like an idiot, with the officers at the scanning machine to raise their eyebrows at me with a sleepy and irritated look only to point to their fellow colleague that my bag needs to be check throughly due to my mobile office, my Toshiba laptop.
If there is a need to check my bag, at the very least tell it to my face with a forced smile, I wouldn't mind (we all understand they are tired). But to be treated so rudely... well that really can blow my fuse. A smile, that's all I'm asking! Is it too much to ask??
Then there were a few times when I saw a fellow Malaysian being rudely instructed a few times(screaming from the control panel, mind you) to re-insert his Access Card into the machine. Then there was a time when I was at MOM Temporary Job Placement (kim seng rd), to accompany my friend to apply for a foreign worker. I was squatting outside the room since all the seats were full (I know its considered rude for women to squat but what the heck, I'm tired) and a security guard came to rudely chase all the loitering foreign workers away. I think he has mistaken me as a Filipino since he was shouting in that arrogant voice for me to not squat there and to go inside the receptionist area to wait for my turn.
That really blew my fuse. I told the guard off. I respect that he's doing his job but don't treat us (me and the foreign workers) like dirt. What happen to the courtesy campaign that Singapore government had spend on last time?
What? Just because these people are foreign workers, most Singaporeans think lowly of them? Sheesh! Open up your eyes, they are still human!
I really hope that this situation doesn't worsen. I don't wanna think of the blow it will cause on my country just because of these really bad eggs.
A smile.. It just takes a smile, not your money!
Oh yeah.. I'm working on the trackbacks that my bro is currently fiddling with. He's free, I'm not so go irritate him http://azrin.net

Good hotels at Amsterdam
I've always wanted to visit Amsterdam but never knew where to lodge. There were books and websites which I've rummaged around but none of them ever lasted a few minutes of my time, they were quite not-user friendly anyway.
So anyway, I finally found something easier to surf around for lodgings inthe tourist attraction in Amsterdam with just a click.
Their hotel lists, which ranges from single star to five stars is quite comprehensive and the reviews left by the previous lodgers will guide you on which hotels (service, accomadations) are the best.
Hmm... we can even download their map on Amsterdam.. very interesting. And for credit card users (aren't we all are?), they have a security feature that keeps all your personal details and card number confidential.
My Ratings: You should view it to know what I'm talking about.

Crap
24th February 2007,
I'm getting a little irritated at the PPP segmentation. It's destroying all the joy in blogging for cash at the comforts of your own home. With the new segmentation regulation, bloggers with low PR and Alexa ranking, is facing the worse of its PPP season.
Before the implementation of Segmentation, the Opps (cash opportunity) is usually up for grabs with the minimum quantity of at least 20 Opps. But now.. we can't even barely get 1 Opp for a few days straight and when I say "we" I really meant "we", the low ranking bloggers."
No doubt PP has new ideas to make us get more cash but with the never ending red-coloured highlighted posts mounting, one would wonder until when will PPP holds it lusture with its "small men." From what I've been experiencing, they are more catered to the advertisers protection since they are the paymaster.
But shouldn't the advertisers remember that most of the times, the small army ants pack more punch than a flock of geese?
Instead they just concentrate on the big guns, forgetting that blogs are actually to cater for readers who are close to the bloggers and not for the pleasure of the advertisers and those who has established trust and respect for the bloggers will take whatever was reviewed into heavy consideration. If that were the case, then they should have paid domain webholders to host their advertisement and reviews for their products or site, it still amounts to the same cost anyway.
I know I'm taking a big risk in writing my thoughts about this Segmentation thing but sometimes even the saintest person can be tempted into cursing. Try being in my "tiny" position and then you tell me..

Big fish to catch
As usual, my favourite PPP (PayPerPost.com) has made another idea on catching bigger fishes for those bloggers that has high ranking blogs. For those who has high ranking blogs, from PG3++ and low Alexa ranking, bloggers can easily earn as minimum as USD100 per post. I've seen it and even come across to those that has USD700+. It certainly gives easy money for hardworking bloggers and a good blog marketing strategy.
Imagine, you just need to only log onto the internet, type in a minimum words of 200, post it and you have just made USD100 on just a post. I've been telling my friends of this easy money making, but yet those stubborn bulls just don't want to try. What's the point of surfing endlessly while you can just make some cash when you log on the NET everyday. I just don't get those idiots.
Although on the down side, those who has a low page ranking, like me, we are only priveleaged with those opps that pays the basic amount. But never fear, at least the low amount opps doesn't run out fast!
So what are you waiting for? Click on PPP button on my Left-Nav bar and sign up now!

Food guidance..
So I just recently came back from my nightly-haunts for great "makan" (eating) places. Since there are so many eating houses here in my place, Skudai, I've decided to drop some info for the Makan places I've been.
Please take note that I was wearing really house clothes (T-shirts with bermudas/ really worn out jeans) when I went to eat at these places, its a habit of mine to see how good their service are and whether they are downright snobs.
Restoran Mustika Zam-Zam
Location: in front of Bestmart hypermarket, behind KFC. (Tmn Tan Sri Yaccob)
My pointers: Bad service.. The servers keep mixing up the orders and they certainly do not like to entertain locals who wear tattered jeans and worn-looking T-shirts. Time taken for the food to be served is 15mins.. (I was downright hungry)
Food was nice although the RM2.00 Murtabak was a little too dissappointing cuz there wasn't enough meat to suffice my hunger.
My Ranking: Not coming again.
Ros Merah Restaurant
Location: Nusa Bestari in the direction of Sutera Utama from Bukit Indah, beside Repson Spare Parts.
My Pointers: Friendly service. Although sometimes the new recruits jumble up the orders, their attentive supervisors is always there to make sure the right orders heads our way. The servers will indulge you in a conversation if you feel kinda lonely when you are dining alone at night and the large TV screen is enough to make soccer lovers to crawl out for a dinner. Food is served in 10mins or so and their Murtabak RM4.00.. is huge with lots of meat and well meat in them.. and you can request for extra crispy top layer.
My Ranking: Good for really hungry diners.
lets see... there are still plenty of good makan places in Skudai but since I've never taken care of the names of the shops... just have to wait for another post for the upcoming good Makan places.

Make money by just..
Once again PPP has made up a new way of earning money for bloggers who hates to affliate their blogs or do sponsored posts. See the nice looking badge at the bottom of my post? Yup.. thats the one that creates the "Kaching" once somone successfully sign up with PPP and reviews any of my post.
For PPP users, you can just click on the "Affliate Tools" in the your Nav-Bar on top when you sign in. Then select "Review My Post" option and copy the code and paste it into your post. Simple and easy.. and you can blog traffic..
I think the whole idea is very interesting especially when I finally get to read the reviews written about my post. True I've been receiving lots of reviews for my fics especially Indigo Eyes, but it's still will be very interesting to read what others thought about my random ramblings.
Who knows one day I get to read some interesting insight of what others think of my post.

Request..
19 February 2007,
Happy CNY people! I finally managed to actually figured out what to do during these days. Yesterday went swimming at Batu Layar and unfortunately the sunblock lotion didn't work as good as I thought it would be. Simply said, everyone in my family are all walking cooked lobsters.
Anyway due to a request brought by a friend of mine, I've decided to put up Bleach Anime video on this blog and going to change the episodes every 2-3 days cuz the episode has a total of 115+ as of to date and its still increasing.
But I won't posting up my account videos instead gonna just give the credits who had put them up on Youtube.com. So to start off, its gonna be episode 1... and I'm still counting the days till episode 116 is up... haiz...

Blind me!
Since Chinese New Year is just around the corners, people have been going around shopping for new items (who can blame them.. country-wide is having 70% discount) and doing their Spring Cleaning. In my case, I'm stuck with the usual chores, the window cleaning..
The heavy drapes are certainly going to be the death of me one of these drapes which is why I'm contemplating in just getting blinds or those fancy shades I've been seeing in those offices. And my current obsession is this webbie.
It's a place where you can find up-to-date window shades and blinds. But since I pretty much fancy this particular roller shades I might as well share certain info on this one. Hmm.. like all roller shades, you can roll them up or down as and when you like, a large variety of colors to choose from along with price managers to give us a more little insight tip for those who are on budget.
Their Javascripted link when you mouse-over the product add-ons is a real helper to first-time customers as they help to describe the usage of the item and even show how the items look like. (certainly its a consumer friendly webbie). For those who wishes to DIY your own blind installation, you can actually view them on their full installation instructions guide for each and every product listed or you can just call them on thier hotline.
My verdict: A+ must see!

Greetings kinsmen!
Since I'm in a good mood, I might as well share something which I have been keeping all to myself for years. I have been sending out free personalised e-cards from E-greetings.com and not once have I strayed from my cute cards whenever given a chance.
I mean really, as the years pass by, the cards they make really tickles my stomach and most of the time when the addressee replies back, it's another cute lil e-card which surprisingly had somehow been overlooked by me. Oh well different people have different taste.
And I have decided to share this lil cutie with you... hahaha.. sexy birthday eCard and a sure nightmare for we women... ahaha
For those who are wondering to get more of the premium cards (they are really worth your money), you can actually sign up with them and get a free 30-day trial membership to send unlimited eCards.
The yearly subscription is only $13.99. (Didn't I tell you it's worth your cent?) Anyway one of the main benefits of membership is that users can schedule e-cards to arrive on a specific date, personalise them with your own pictures and greetings and schedule it to be sent immediately or on the exact date you choose.
It beats the waiting time you have to que just to purchase your ready-made card.

Where is that thick book?
When someone talks about encyclopedia, one would think of the big thick volumes with lots of words and pictures in them. But in this site, its totally different. They have an encyclopedia for almost everything from ad-related to informative posts, categorised in alphabet formats.
At a glance, the site looks like a pre-schooler classroom, bringing sweet remembrance of my time when I was still running around with poster paints on my face. But this particular is post, really catches my eye. Computer Rental... hmm.. If only they have it here in my place, then I wouldn't go running around in panic everytime my system coughed its last breath.
Hold a minute!! I got another interesting post to share... Monsters aw... a great detail of the meaning and history of monsters. But I didn't see any Monster Inc movie in the post.. oh well... I love those monsters from that cartoon.
Go take a look at the site.. I'm going to continue surfing thru the site.. very interesting

Barbie gurl?
It's a place where you can make virtual dolls, you know last time when there is only paper dolls and you cut and paste the clothes you want onto the paper dolls, OLD FASHION Dress Up Games... Well in this case, you its much more cleanier with no glues cuz its Virtual!
It has so many cute characters and I like this one especially:



And the best thing about this whole system, you can actually make them and then post it up in you Myspace or as Instant Messenger icons using the HTML code provided. Its soo cute!
Oh! They even have a competition for the best dressed up doll. Ain't that something! So for all those Doll Lovers, this is a good site for you, at least it beats downloading all the custom made icons when you play SIMS 2 like me to create this cuties!.. *snickers*
Check them out here.. its easier to see it for yourself instead of me trying my best to describe it to you.

Bring me to the PORTAL
After a long rest nursing my injured head (there is still a small lump at the back of my head), courtesy of the irriating air-con duct bracket that I've managed to grace my head with, I'm finally rid of the throbbing headache and happily searching for new interesting sites that are worth to look at.
I've found a very simple looking looking advertising related webbie in London. It's simple looking site is an A+ compared to those messy-lump-in-everything adsites.
For those who simply love to get their pics taken by qualified photographers and simply got no time to fuss over your pics with Aodbe Photoshop 7, no need to look further cuz you can find it here. They got a large variety to choose from. I kinda like this particular webbie of photographers.
For those who wish to suggest a link, you can enjoy a free ad for a month with them. Quite simple eh? You can also suggest a new category if you can't find a suitable one for your ad. The clicks and reviews labelled in each site will give you a lift if you can't decide which addie is the best. Or you can just browse through their Popular Linkies.
My Verdict: The simplier it is, the easier it goes for your brain. (^-^)

I'm a good gurl.. I think
25th January 2007,
I guess I'm once again one day backtracked. I had thought today was only 24/01/07.. I'm currently trying to pay my bills online but as usual the RHB online banking is SLOW.. and I've been trying to process my payment for the past hmm... 20mins... even after walking around, grabbed something to munch, the loading is still slow.. Wonder what in the world is causing their server to lag this bad.
Finally managed to play and fiddle with the new Beta Blogger and as you can see, I've gotten my taggie and counter back. The body of the post is much larger than the previous one. I think the admin should really consider doing this new format cuz its certainly very confusing for widget idiots like me. I still prefer HTML code, as much as it irritates me.
Went shopping with mom and dad, actually wanted to bring the kids along but because we don't even know when they will even come and I pitied my mom being cooped up since the days we were working, dad and I decided to give her a treat.
Bought new pair of shoe that managed to peel off today (the ribbon of the shoe), new lingeries and its with new design and at very affordable price *snickers*.. and dad bought new working shoes. Told him his boots were causing him the muscle cramms..
Bought a Green Tea Enopi body lotion. The smell and the lotion is very soothing however!!! However the first smell of the newly opened pvc bottle stinks! Oh it costs RM18.00, from Jusco Tebrau Level 3.
What else... Oh!!! *grins evilly... I got new books from NLB!! Karen Marie Moning books; The Immortal Highlander and Spell of the Highlander, both are paperbacks and I have finished reading the later one and my verdict is!!! Its exceptionally hot and a must read book! Totally spunky heroine and sexy Sex God for a Hero who's just a plain male chauvanist. Very good and no, I'm not sharing so you guys best be getting your own books. Even the hottie in the cover is drooling hot.. yummy!!
I also finally managed to borrow my friend's Sims2 expansion packs.. hahaha... so happy!!

A few Linkies that Prove interesting
20th January 2006
I'm suppose to revert the current new blog into the old classic design cuz the new template is causing me more headaches than the usual HTML codes. And the worst thing is I lost most of my extras like my tagboards and my counter. Haiz.. now I need to surf around to get a new counter, I kinda forgot the old link to the webbie.. hehehe
My old junk, hand-me down Samsung CRT monitor finally decided it had enough of my nonsense and blew out its last smoke 2 days ago. Nearly sent me into panic cuz I was supposed to do a quotation and other paper work when I get back from the work site in Singapore. But then I got myself a DELL 17" LCD monitor, courtesy to my dad. Great huh?
So now my desk is a few more space free and I can do my paper work with lots of space.. hahaha.. I also got myself more acquainted to the biometric scanner in the ICQ Tuas. But since my thumb has more and new scratches each passing day, the scanner kicked me out and made me walk a few meters to get my face scanned by the ICA officer a few days ago. So much for efficienism..
But the one that made my work much easier to cope is my mom. Morning got Mommy Hugs before I leave work and more Mommy Hugs when I reach home plus Mommy Cooking. Hahaha.. it certainly a good thing to have her around. Else I think I wouldn't even care about dinner or anything else except the bed.
I also managed to surf thru new sites and I have good links to good free stuffs and books!! ahaha
For Christine Feehan lovers, you can actually go to her own site to see the new stuffs she has came out with.

For readers who lover Rejar plot stories, lovely written by Dara Joy, you can pop out the can of coke for there is a new book in town which I have not yet read!! It's entitled, Heart Mate, written by Robin D. Owens and it has been out and on sale since 2005.. I'm so slow.. Well at least that gives me a reason to check out that book in the library or perhaps at Ebay or call up a few favors.. I'm sure my sister would allow a few cents to go unnotice.. hehehe..

And for avid Amanda Ashley lovers: She got new books!!! The model she took for Grigori in one of her books is very yummy... I'm so lucky that I still preserved that book I had bought years ago.. She makes the vampires into some yummy gummy for women to GA-GA about.
I wonder if I can get those books over the counters in Singapore at cheap price.. hmm...

Volunteer in Nepal
It seems that not everyone in the world is as lucky as the rest of us who has the comfort of internet, warm food, a beautiful house to come back to and some leaking amount of cash in our bank accounts monthly.
Be a participant of Volunteer in Nepal and help do our part in bringing joy and lighten the burden of these orphans. I have visited and did my part in orphanages before and their living standards are sadly very discouraging and most of the small little items that we deem are junk becomes very useful and even new to them.
This non-profit organisation seeks volunteers who are able to spare sometime to participate in many projects such as teaching and uplifting their health standards if your were to have a doctorate degree in your hands. All nationals from all parts of the world are welcome to participate in this organisation.
Below are some pictures taken from the site.

Listen to the rythm of the falling rain
14th January 2007,
It's still raining and it's not getting any better. I'm once again being in the center of my muses and this is all centered on the rainy season. It was only a few days ago that the news broke out on the new areas that were and still are submerged. An area which is only a few kilometers away from my place is currently swimming with the fishes and floating furnitures and it led me to wonder; is my place next on the list?
Before, I've always in awe of the fresh, crisp and chilly air of Cameron Highlands and always envious of the rain clouds that seem to hover a few feet above the ground. But now looking at the condition of the current weather, I'm wishing for the old Mr Sun back.
The temperature here is like 22 degrees celcius everyday and every morning, you can bet that the rain clouds that only appear in the mountanous area hovers around my place. It's chilled cold here!
Haiz... I want my old Mr Sun back..

Adventurers
I have been eyeing a few travel websites in case I got my usual itch to travel again. But one that caught my eye is www.travelfish.org.
It has lots of info for travellers who need a quick decision between countries like Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. I'm currently viewing their forum topics and might I say the advices and topics discussed is very insightful. Aside from the usual "which hotel to choose", they have loads of advices for backpackers.
Maps.. now looking at maps.. Ooh... They have a very detailed view of the lands in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. They even have the guides on which road to take to head to your destination. Let me finish viewing all other links they have here... hmm...
"Asian fruit FAQ" now what is that... Ouh.. Asian fruits.. I think they missed a few fruits like Lychee, Pulasan, Dragon Fruit and lots of others... hehehe.. can't help it I'm a pure South-East Asian..
Wait a minute! Durian doesn't smell like sewer and stale vomit! It just have a very strong smell and its heavenly to 99% of South-East Asia. Durian is a heaty food and it is not fatal is a person were to have coffee or sweet drinks with Durian but it does causes sore-throat and its a fruit that Diebetics should stay away from due to the high sugar content.
My verdict!! I would strongly suggest travellers who are heading to these countries to bring a palm top or O2 phone with ready WAP/GPRS and whip up TravelFish site, http://www.travelfish.org, whenever you feel lost or bored with your current location and its certainly a GOOD substition of GPS . (^-^)

What's Your Bet?
Ok so now that I'm finally awake and free from my work obligations, I managed to surf into Partybets.com. (www.partybets.com)
It's actually part of an affiliate, Partypartners.com, where you can place bets on almost everything even up to who will win the Us 2008 election and I thought betting is only meant for games and well.. just games. But this site obviously has more than placing your bets on games.
Hmm.. They have categories for movies and music. I do hope Captain Jack Sparrow a.k.a Johnny Depp wins in the 2007 Golden Globe Awards: Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical. I mean he is cutely humourous and his drunken walk is amazing! You can click on the link to access to it.
I just read something very interesting on Responsible Gaming-->Controlling Compulsive Gaming, Limit Access for Minors and I highly support the measures they will take on those who has the beforementioned problem. It is certainly a huge problem for compulsive gamers and they can go on and on even until they got bankrupt. And kids are totally a "No-No" to gambling. Hurrah for Partybets.com! http://content.partybets.com/en/responsible_gaming.html
Anyone who wishes to view their site, you can access it here: www.partybets.com

Tea or Tree?
So what ancient tree am I?
You scored as The Elder. In Celtic astrology, you're an Elder. The animal symbol that accompanies this tree is the raven. The ancient Druids say Elder people are lively, self-sufficient, energetic and thrive on change. However, Elders may be prone to recklessness, restlessness and speaking their mind a little too openly.

A few days later
3rd Jan 2007
So once again I'm late for my posting for New Year. But can't fault me cuz I was happily making use of the great holiday that falls on the same day as New Year, Eid Adha aka Raya Haji.
Good food.. mom is pampering me with lots of Kuih Lopez and Briyani Mutton & other yummies she has cooked up for the Holy-Day.
Work has once again started and although my eyes are dropping equivalent to the gravity's pull, I'm still trying to browse thru the programme channels.

Hello? Hello?
I was suppose to post something else but since I'm dead bored well no harm in doing something else.
For my friends who love MySpace, hunny this post is going to be your favourite. I got this new site, Check it out here where you can create you own avatar and own pre-recorded voice greeting and load it up to either your mobile phones or MySpace.
I'm trying them right now and you should try the pre-recorded voice "OMG", "Your Mom part deux" "Craigslist" and "Hicks".. their cute!! Can't decide the 1st or 2nd cuz the latter sounds like a part taken from "White Chicks". Their avatars are limited but at least you can add and edit them although... Hey!! They got cute hair for the women!!
Lets see... Easy filing for MySpace users and simple input numbers for US Residents. Great.. Although it would be nice if they can load it to international mobile phone users. Then I'll be loading them onto my phone. Imagine! A voice from "Craigslist" ringing everytime someone beeps me.

Thunder Crash
19th December 2006
Pic is taken during my B-day at Isetan around 6pm. Look haggard don't I? From right to left: Lisa, Jannah, ME!!
I was suppose to post this up lastnight but my telephone lines along with my internet cable smoked out. I think the thunderstorms and unpredictable weather is causing this mishap and for once I'm not putting any blame on them. But then... Shouldn't they have a back up AC-DC rectifier to load in case this things happen? Hmm...
Anyway tonight there isn't any power supply cuz the TNB is going to do some maintanence from 5pm to 12mid so I guess I'll be having a candle light dinner tonight.
I'm still refreshing my brain on my Tajwid and all the past Islamic lessons I use to take. I have forgotten how tough it was trying to Hafiz all the Surah in the Quran. Well at least this new hobby of mine is keeping me busy, for a little while.
Heard that Indonesia is wrecked with 3 earthquakes. Hopefully everyone is ok there, but I doubt so. Perhaps this event is the cause of the weird behaviours my fishes have been behaving. They don't wanna eat, keep locking themselves to the sand-bed and jumping out of the tank.
Hmm.. I'm feeling hungry.. wonder what's for lunch... Oh yeah read that Payperpost.com new terms, disclosure. So everytime I write a post for the advertiser, I gotta tell the whole world that the post I'm writing is sponsored by them, at least its better than telling everyone how much I'm earning from the post. *snickers

Reality Show any1?
So here I am once again straining my eyesight and my brain on what to do with the company's website. After marching through the wet and more wet monsoon season terrains of JB, I finally managed to get myself into my warm and comfy office.
Currently taking a break on my work and so I decided to pop into what Payperpost is currently loading. Hmm... They finally got their reality show on their company, episode 3 up. (sounds like The Star Wars Eposide 1.. *snickers)
How I wish I have an office like theirs.. sexy looking Flat LCD screen (it looks like Apple LCD) and sadly Ted's figurine outnumbers mine.. I'm re-running the video now actually and.. is that a pumpkin I'm seeing on the guy's table or is my eyesight playing tricks on me again? (>_<)"
Let me pause the video and... YES! it certainly looks like a pumpkin to me.
You can view their video on their office here " reality tv "
Its actually a nice short clip and certainly better than my running comentary video I took during my sis's wedding... hehehe..
Hmm.. why is it they have such a limited downloadable goodies? Someone really should do something about that wallpaper goodies. It doesn't look desireable to me but most porbably they're too busy to even notice..
Is anyone even reading what I'm ranting about? *snickers

Christmas counting down
Christmas is a week more!!
Oh great... And I still haven't decided what to get for Aunty Grace since she did got me presents for my B-day. Hmm... still deciding..
And since Christmas means I need to go around wishing my friends all around the world, a certain site draws my attention: Pingo.com. The prepaid calling calling card service has very good rates that beats my service operator I'm currently using on my mobile.
Look at the rates! A call from Malaysia to Singapore is just 7.0¢ in using Pingo.com Brazil calling card rates while the charges I'm currently charged by my mobile service provider is USD1.00 per min. The difference!
AND!! and the best part is when you sign up with them, you get a free USD5.00 in free calls. The usage of this prepaid calling card service is very simple with no hussle, just use their designated Toll Free number in the country you are calling from.
Need more info? Don't look at me! I'm not gonna spill all the beans on the site. Check it out yourself!! (^_^)

Yawns.. (-_-)"
15th December 2006,
Tummy ache.. I got a tummy ache all cuz of indigestion I had last night.
Today had another nice trip to my beloved 'girlfriend', the company's auditor. Just going to even take documents from them drains 5yrs of my lifespan. I hated going to see my beloved auditor simply cuz they remind me of the stress I went through every year to complete and proper the accounts.
Now I'm once again facing my computer and thinking of ways to relax my bloodshot eyes. Yes, hunnies my eyes are strained and bloodshot. Last night went to buy trumpet over ebay for my fren. Haiz.. Well at least its not my money I'm paying it with... hehehe.. But the trumpet is really nice. Lacquered in black, looks really sleek.
Anyway I finally got time with my beloved books and re-reading my Fotress Darconis by Michael A.Stackpole. His writings really make me feel as if I'm part of the flow, blending in with the characters.
Too bad his books are hard to get around here.. Ok gotta go back to work now.. C ya!

All Smiles...
I got itchy hand, itchy fingers and itchy brain... *grins
I'm all bursting with pent up energy! And here I am with another topic to talk or should I say rant about.
ads on blogs
I'm not sure if all of you ever heard of Payperpost.com or not. My elder brother was the one who referred me to them and although I was suspicious at first, after trying out and blogging topics on Payperpost.com, I'm happy to inform that I'm a few dollars richer. *snickers
Payperpost.com pays us to blog hunnies.. yes earn money ($) while we rant and blabber our thoughts out on the topics they came up with. Although a few dollars per approved post doesn't seem much now but it certainly earns me some pocket money. The money you earn will then be forwarded to your Paypal account. Simple and easy!
They have plenty of topics or Opportunities, as what Payperpost.com calls them, so we'll never be able to run out of topics to rant on. It's better than the usual "earn the Ca$h-ing (Cash-ing) ads" we are so used to read from the internet. Payperpost.com make you work for your earnings and not pray for unexpected readers to accidentally click on the Pay-Ads.
Of course there are certain rules you have to abide to but that's what makes this site so challenging. A few years ago, I had thought writing and composing stories will get me nowhere and wouldn't even dream of getting a few cents from it. But now... *sighs happily..
Now I'm earning it!! ahaha.. some spare cash, got some new people reading my posts everytime I post and the best.. I get to rant! hehehe.. So love Payperpost.com

Watch your mouth..
13th December 2006
It must be an "it" thing these days with kids. They seem to just blabber almost anything and everything they have in their mind be it spontaneous or planned without caring about the people around them. I've been watching and observing kiddos (idiotic teenagers who doesn't know the meaning of manners) acting rowdier by the day.
I myself am having some problems with my own siblings in putting a stopper into their blathering mouth. I still remember those times when we kids were still god fearing and respectful to our elders and people around us. Even to the last words and actions that were used were filtered in respect.
But kids these days... Just yesterday I saw a youngester screaming at his mom in an angry tone. I wouldn't be surprised if suddenly a bolt of lighting streaked down from the sky and fry him. Too many idiots trying to act as if they are creators of everything and the main banker.

Chatting.. chatting n More chatting
I was browsing through Payperpost.com again and finally I got a topic which I'm so comfortable with, Chatting online.
Link: chat room or if you can't access to the site, just copy and paste the link attached.
chat room
Chatting is like an everyday occurance to me. Its a good way of communication especially when you are trying to converse with a person who is a few hundreds kilometers away and your pocket is having a huge hole.
In my hectic business line, online chatting is a must. The usual topic that is covered during these chats covers large area and to have a back up copy of what was conversed upon is a must since it comes very handy especially when the other party tries to take advantage of you.
After days and weeks of chatting endlessly, trying to please each other with the best deals, most of the time, we ended up having new friends and sometimes new good friends, which is very rare. I once have a chatter who actually sent me condolences bouquet of flower on hearing my close relative passing.
Since I'm posted to Malaysia, I use chatting online as a good way to keep in touch with my Singaporean friends and family. Good thing that technology keeps upgrading else I think I'll be broke when the phone bills have been paid.
All in all I've been using three different internet messengers and endless chatrooms. Since my internet connection is just a click away, I'm constantly online and chatting.

B-day Balloons..
12th December 2006
I was suppose to load this thing up a few days ago but I keep pending and pending and pending.. (>_<)
I know some of you must be yearning to know what pretty little things I got for my B-day. Unfortunately I didn't get any cute balloons that I had my eyes on.. hehehe..
Although I got a few unexpected presents from my close family friens, Aunty Grace. I got a Kooklai ladies bag, or whatever the brand was that cost more than my day's pay, and a lovely orange Thai Silk shawl. Up to now I'm still pondering on how she knows my B-day. Perhaps she kept a diary on all of my siblings B-day since she was there when everyone of us were born. (^_^)
Then I hang out with my Doverites pals that was so crazed about Ayam Penyet which turns out to be a simple dish that even my younger sister knows how to dish out. Its basically Fried Chicken (Tumeric powder, salt, pepper ), Sambal Belancan and the local Ulam veggies. Not worth my $5.50/dish.. certainly not worth it.
Then I was late for my B-day dinner with my sis and her family at Swensens T-2. Great food although I can't understand why they put in Ba-Choi veggie and sour cream mashed potatoes. Its not a good combination with my sirloin steak, horrible combination. No doubt the steak was good, really good but why the weird combo?? still don't get it...

My fish is swimming!!
1st December 2006-- 8 more days to go
Its 8 more days to go before I can officially watch R.A movies.. *snickers*
Anyway I went experimenting in the kitchen again. This time its with a grouper. I went gallavanting with the poor fish at 4pm. Anyone who wishes to note down my recipe, kindly do so but of course, PLEASE link back to my site.. *glares*
Grilled Lemon Fish Swimming in Pumpkin Sauce (lame title.. I know hehehe..)
Ingredients
--Fish--
Half cut lemon
1 tsp of salt
1 pinch of sugar
Pandan Leaves
4 pcs of Chili Padi
1 tbs evaporated milk
7 slices of cut up Grouper
--Pumpkin Sauce--
10cm x 3cm pumpkin slice
1 tsb of sugar
1/2 tsp of salt
4 tbs of evaporated milk
1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder
1 tbs of butter
1 tbs of chopped onion
How to do it!!
Fish--
For the fish, the dimension of the slices is quite important cuz when we grill it, we would want to make the skin crispy and the flesh tender. Its most prefered to have the fish cut with a width of 2 inch with the tail being longer. Bear in mind that Groupers are most delicious at the tail and the head is best to be cooked in Asam Pedas or Curry. Anyway we will be using the body and the tail of the fish.
Clean and gut the fish. Squeeze the lemon juice from the half cut lemon. Do NOT throw away the skin. Blend in the leftover of the skin with Chili Padi, Sugar, Salt and Evaporated milk. Marinate the fish with the mixture for half and hour (but I prefer one hour).
Once the fish is ready, grill it on the Grilling Pan but for those who doesn't have one, a frying pan can do. Line the Pandan Leaves on the Pan before you grill the fish. I prefer using Pandan Leaves cuz the Pandan has a nice smell and will eliminate the fishy smell and will not destroy the grilled skin of the fish.
Grill the fish in a medium heat for 15mins or so for both sides, or until the fish is cook. Be careful to not burn the skin into char. If you suspect its going to burn, lower down the heat.
Pumpkin Sauce--
I prefer doing the easy way. Dump everything into the blender except the butter and onions into a puree. Heat up the butter in a sauce pan and saute the onions until light brown. Then mix in the puree into the pan under a meadium heat until it boils.
To those who loves onions, do NOT put too much chopped onions else it will overpower the pumpkin taste. You can also put in mint leaves if you do not like cinnamon powder. However I've not tried it, so if anyone tried the mint leaves, leave me a review on how it goes.
Finishing!!
For the finishing, place the slices of fish on separate plates. Then decorate the sauce over the fish as you like. Add some parsley if you wish. Now its ready to be serve..
Sorry lah.. I forgot to take the pics of the dish. My stomach seem to control my brain so the thought of getting a pic of the dish just dashed off my mind... ( -_-")

Nothing much..
25th November 2006
Life is as per normal although there are less sleep and more physical work for me to do instead of camping in front of my monitor. Wanna have a sneak peak into my nowadays work? You can read it altough there is basically nothing interesting in it other than meeting new SingTel personnel and new food.
- 5.45AM: wake up time!!
- 6.00AM: Makan time.. how can anyone stomach anything this early?? Gah.. although all grace goes to mom for preparing me a piping hot mug of coffee everyday.. yumm..
- 6.40AM: chugg off to Gelang Patah to get the 7.15Am bus..
- 8.00AM: reach Jurong East to unload all of the equipment from my front lorry.. early morning exercise part 1..
- 8.35AM: reach the Main-Con factory.. get the work order for the day.. load up batteries into the lorry (35kg each), Qty varies from 8batt to 16 batt.. back breaking exercise part 2..
- 9.00AM load up the system which is NOT at all light.. all thanks to Shahrul who does all the back breaking work..
- 9.30AM: goes off for the site but if got time, we go early lunch.. can't work on empty stomach
- 10.30AM: report to SingTel personnel for the first site..
IF everything goes smoothly, the job can be completed within 2hrs, looking at the environment, whether its crappy crampy, safe etc.. But the job is really simple... except for the carrying of batteries..
By the time all of us return home (J.B) the only thing we need is a bed and a pillow.. yeah its that tiring..
However there are a few downsites cuz its seems that women are not appreciated in electrical environment. The men.. well most of them are all male chauvanists and downright looking down their noses at me. Its sickening and suffocating.
Women it seems is forever the 2nd class worker in the world.. haiz.. nevermind I will show them what we women are made of..
Oh yeah Jannah.. hunny do you have the clear pix for the Raye outing? I kinda lost it.. hehehe

Fatal Error C000021a
4th November 2006
Ok peeps after lots of fiddling here and there and pouring out my eyesight & destroying my brain cells, I finally figured out what the hell was causing my Windows XP Home Edition to unable to boot up properly.
Listen up to those who are currently facing this problem and DO NOT KNOW the cause.. If your computer keep restarting by itself everytime you try to boot up into your Windows XP Home Edition, then you are facing this problem.
Symptom:
After installing Roxio GoBack (available when you install Norton System Works), and attempt to restart your pc, you may receive this message error:
C000021a [fatal error]
The session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xC00003a ... or something like that
Cause:
When you installed GoBack, it is present in the boot sector, thus causing lots of inconviniet to people like me..
If you can't view the error message, when you boot up your pc, highlight the infected Windows XP Home Edition and then press F8 button.
1) From the menu with all those options of Safe Mode, Start Windows Normally etc..
3) Then when you restart it again, you can see the error message.
Solution:
- Ok once you have done that, start Windows as per normal or you can restart your pc, both ways work for me.
- During StartUp process, press SPACE to access GoBack option menu.
- When prompted, choose the Disable GoBack Options, and let the pc complete the StartUp process.
Your Windows XP should work just nicely after that and it will bring you back to your beloved Windows XP. From here, you can choose to uninstall GoBack by manually uninstalling it in the Control Panel => Add/ Remove Programs.
In my case, I just prefer to let GoBack irritate me everytime I load up my Windows XP, prompting me whether I want to Activate GoBack, which I Do NOT want..
Hope it works for those of you who are wrecking your brains out.. If you got any qns, just holler me, I'll try my best to answer your them.

Summary...
3rd November 2006
What.. what.. what... has happened? Hmm...
1) Grandma passed away peacefully on 18th October or was it 17th? Not sure.. what I know that she went peacefully and this time, I let it out.. I let all out, I didn't bother to hold it in. I still felt the melanchony of it everytime I thought of her but at least its better than the passing of my late grandad..
No more granny to cuddle up with while I seek comfort from my hectic life.. No more food shopping, her cute granny antics, her simple yet delicious cooking... Just no more Nenek.. Everyone who really knows her will remember her as the old sweet granny with lots of grit.. hahaha...
2) Raye has arrived and now stuffing my stomach with goodies.. yummy.. Lepak at my sister's house for a few days.. Amelia was cute and so was Athira.. hahaha.. Those two are like the Ying and Yang.. Still awaiting for my pictures from my elder brother and my sister.. Why so slow Kak Long and Abg Azrin?
My elder brother came over for raye also.. that is like first time in two years.. Gosh, he sure has grown--sideways!! ahaha... Well I think having a kid certainly put a stopper on his blathering "vocabulary" words.
3) Still deciding when to go out Jalan Raye with frens.. With the new company set up, my work schedule really hectic and turned over. Can't even decide when to start or stop..
4) Haiz.. this one is a little complicated.. My secondary school mate actually asked me to be his girlfriend and me being me, thought he was kidding and just spew out joking words and questioning his sanity and other stuffs which my gal frens think is outrageous.. hahaha
Well how the hell do I know he was serious.. I mean we only sms each other once a month since 5mths ago at my cousin's wedding cuz I so love to keep in touch with old frens. Furthermore the thought of him and me being a couple has NEVER crossed my mind. Good heavens, I was his matchmaker you idiot, and I know he always charms his way to gals heart.. Unfortunately for him, I'm just happy to have him as a fren. I can't imagine us being a couple. No way!!
At least he's still my fren now and we are still back to joking like mad idiots again..
To those who thinks matchmaking me is a great idea: DON'T YOU DARE!!!

Stupid idiots
16th October 2006
I am officially declared Ulcers Free!! Woohoo! So now my dear beloved food, I take great pleasure in eating you.. hahaha...
So what's up in my hermit's life? Stupid TNB took an off day this morning at 1.15am and we were left in the dark medival ages until.. *drum rolls* 3pm!! So ladies and gentlemen, the 4D number of the day is 1153.
What the hell were the TNB thinking?!! From 1.15am all the way to 3pm, no electricity. Good thing I was fasting, else I don't think I can stop the words from spewing out of my mouth. All of my neighbour's factory frozen food went bad and other manufacturing factories went shutdown. Called up 15454, and the operator had the cheek to inform us that everything will be ok by 12noon. Hello?!! What the hell is the other 3 hours for? Coffee break?
I just don't get it.. Why is it that our place always get power blackout? Why can't Putrajaya or KL or the president's building got 15hrs power blackout? I'd like to see that happen to them and take great pleasure at watching TNB squirm under live fire.
Anyway went out to Danga Bay. There is a Bangkok fair. Good nice thingys. Nice clothes *drools*.. but no shoes.. (-_-)"
Haiz.. so no new shoes for my Raya..

Oh yeah...
14th October 2006,
Didn't do anything much but feeding my hungry and almost dried up brain cells with cartoons and more cartoons. Too bad I miss the stupidity of Spongebob Square Pants. But there were other good cartoons that Tv3 makes up for my great loss. (^_^)
Then got a surprising shock during Break Fast time. My elder brother and his family came over to break their fast. Luckily there was enough food to go around, considering we usually cook just enough for 3 people unless there was visitors.
Athira was happily munching on Maccoroni Soup like the rest of us (I have mouth ulcers remember..). Then Kak Mar had mom's most famous and Abang Adik's favourite dish, Ikan Sepat Masak Lemak Lada Padi..
They went off at 9pm or so.. Duh! They have almost 12hours of driving to reach Kedah. (pops in another Kuih Baulu)
Hmm... what to cook tomorrow? Should I cook Fish Masala with Briyani Rice or Chicken Tikka Masala? Haiz.. decisions..
Oooh!!! Mom is frying french fries!!! I love you mom!!
(runs off to prepare another cup of coffee)
Ps: the pic above was taken during a REWANG nite for my relatives wedding;
time: 1am, status: dead tired... see how oily and tired I look?

Ulcers..
11th October 2006
Yay for me cuz all my editing for accounts are done and waiting to be send for auditing.
However amidst my happiness, somethin irritating has been sprouting.. I'm attacked by ulcers!! And to make my life miserable, its right underneath the back of my tongue. There goes all my favourite food... down the drain..
Drat!! Now I'm only allowed to eat non-heaty, non-oily and non-spicy food.
I hate ulcers!!
Oh yeah regarding Indigo Eyes, the chapter 17 is currently being composed. Anyone wanna request any special scenes in the chapter? But then.. this chapter contains strong plot and any affection related is tough to add in the chapter..
However if anyone is requesting for special scenes, I'll try my best to fit in something..
*goes off glaring at the bland looking food*

Kissy.. Kish..
9th October 2006
Last weekend was a family reunion. My brother's family came down from Kedah.. yeah I know he's suppose to be in UK but he decided to drop by his mother-in-law's place.. Then at 9.30am my elder sister's family along with my siblings came and it was chaotic.
Two-year old kids running around and screaming in glee with the adults chasing after them and trying to catch the whirlwind of disasters.. *snickers* the toddlers are extremely cute together and the mess they make in their wake makes me smile in fond memories.
Of course there were the usual family bantering and occasional smack from mom and a loud "Oww" from my elder brother.. One would think family life would mature one's character but in this case, it doesn't work on him... *snickers madly*
Siblings were as usual, abusing my poor computer and PS2. My elder sister was hogging the tv with her Korean Drama Fest.. God help us from the Korean Drama hungry woman.. hehehe.. Can you believe she actually spend the whole 2 days and 2 days in the last weekend just to finish her Princess Hours drama.. Good thing her husband put his foot down when she wanted to watch My Girl.. (^-^)
Too bad my camera was spoilt if not I would have snap loads of Snap Shots.. you know me, anything original with no posing, is my cup of tea.. hehehe
Ok gotta go now.. wanna watch my Musang Berjanggut.

Jaken-sama!! So kawaii!!
6th October 2006
I didn't want to wake up this morning but the irritating cheerful birds are so annoying! Wonder where the hell they find so much pent up energy to be so annoyingly cheerful in the morning. I wanted to sleep in...
At least my suspected flu decided to take a chill during the day.. but now.. haiz.. My throat is aching all over again and I'm currently feeling as terrible as Jaken here..
I hate getting sick.....

Chill With SiSters...
5th October 2006
Hah!! Finally!! I finally managed to hang out with my 'sisters'... *grins ruefully* after 2 years of parting, I finally managed to squeeze sometime out and chill!! It was so nice to relive the old days, of course with us being a few years older and much wiser.
We went and purged whatever that is there in Kampng Glam, Arab Street and Geylang Serai. I, bought myself 2 pairs of ear rings which I think is the best steal. The design is so unique and goes with any clothes I pick. The three of us also splurge on an outdated and ex-stock items that was once so expensive, a china silk sling bag. I can't believe what used to be 3 for $10 is now reduced to $1 each.. hahaha.. so guys, next time you have you eyes set on sometime ex and new in the market with only a few cents to spare, wait for a few years for the price to drop.Also was stopped 3 times by sweet old ladies that got very curious at the Songket Top I was wearing. Yes.. It's an old Songket and yes.. It belongs to my mom.. Can't remember how many times I have to repeat it again and again, much to Lisa's amusement..
(-_-)"
Found out quite alot of new stuffs about my 'sisters'. Jannah is now taking a civil engineering course which I obviously think is a great achievement. Lisa took a private diploma on business management, perhaps I should let her handle my accounts *snickers* and she being the gooofy one, always forget to tell US that she now has a new boy-toy.. hehehe.. yes, I purposely use that crude word.. hahaha
Then we dragged in Nurdin, the lazy Chill Man. Had another round of Maniac on the Loose show, courtesy from the four of us. Surprising, we weren't on the front headlines.. We had left lots of chaos in our wake.. hehehe.. Ahh yes... once again I finally managed to instill my wacko maniac powers on those near me.. hehehe..
Grandma is not getting better. Doctor says she's having stroke. Atuk is having Gout, poor him.. no more favourite food. Cik Lala and family broke fast at granny's house with the order from my mom. Mom cooked Briyani Fish Masala and Bone-Steak.. Indian food, good for me!! ( ^_^ )
Unfortunately, I have forgotten to take a photo with Lisa.. Haiz.. That lady ah.. Nevermind, next time I'll lcoked her down and snap her photo with me when she's daydreaming again.. hehehe..
*goes off munching on Kerepek Ubi Sambal*

Hitting the Rocks
28th September 2006,
Ah... After finally wrecking and squeezing every brain cells I have on work, as usual, finally got some peace time for myself. Broke my fast with Asam Pedas that was overcooked, my mom forgot to turn off the stove.
So now I'm plugged with Goth Music and Death Metal at the highest volume my surround-system headphone could manage which I tell is VERY loud.. But... Ahhh... the music is so relaxing... the rythm guitar and the drum beat is smashing.. been a long time since I can relax myself to such music.. hehehe
I can't stand listening to nasal singing which so many locals so love to sing with.. A desecration to perfect music.
My work is almost 3/4 complete but its so difficult to find a good worker. Any electrician interested in working for my company? Good pay.. but of course you got lots of work cut out for you...
I'm pleased to finally manage to post up the complete chapter 16 of Indigo Eyes. But the stupid thing is when I finally re-read on the posted fic, I finally realise that I forgot to add the part whereby Aunt Agatha ask Ryu why he's wearing that contrasting pink with orange frills shirt.. Oh well.. can always add that one in the later chapters.
Hehehe.. Also see my new icon, Indigo Eyes.. can't help it, got too itchy.. I tried to find a less noise and dusty looking Demando but sadly the quality of anime at that time is bad. Had tried to put a vector mask and all those other nonsense to make Demando look less contrasted and de-speckled and only ended what you see now.
Did some cropping and quick adjustments to Usagi so she wouldn't look so awkward. Couldn't figure out what design look best on them.. oh the decisions.. but finally got a weird idea and voilla!! Not the best though but at least better than nothing.
SO anyone to donate me any good Demando pictures so I can satisfy my icon mania craving? hehehe...
Ps: hmm... found out that template will go haywire when you put weird characters in the title and the contents like the directory backslash. It will cause all the words even in the main nav bar being crossed out.. this is like the 4th time I'm trying to post this but the stupid blog kept saying there's an error in the command I put in.. stupid program..

Hadi Won..
25th September 2006,
Oh sweet heavenly Caramel Macchiato!!
Another Malay stood as the reigning champion for Singapore Idol, Hadi, woohoo for us. But seriously from my point of view, I think Hadi doesn't have that quality to be an idol. Unlike Taufiq Batisah who already have that mysterious aura with him that hypnotises listeners with just his voice, Hadi totally lacks that quality.
I finally found my missing diamond ring.. hehehe.. it was hidden underneath my bed. Yippee for mum, who so loves me and cleaned my room.. *snickers* I have almost given up hope in finding the ring..
Ramadan is back again and I still haven't manage to go for Terawih Prayers, perhaps tomorrow.. At least I make up for the loss by continously reading the Quran and currently I'm in the Suratul Al-Nisaq. Been also waking up late in the morning, catching up lost of sleep.
Mosquitoes are hollowing down on me and I need to get that insecticide before they find me tasty... gah!!

Lost and still searching...
22nd September 2006,
Can you believe this? I had stayed up all night reading the quotation and I found that its not even complete. Kept calling my supplier but he off his handphone.. So now waiting diligently for his call.
Morning started off with a bang with my dad.. Oh its just the usual work discussion that went wrong which of course nearly shook the rafters and the building foundation.. hehehe... But now the storm is calm and birds are chirping once again.. hehehe..
Going for meeting in about a few hours, my brain is still trying to switch off and go into hibernation. Did I tell you that last night was warm!! I didn't on the air-con but I did open the windows and its still warm...
Going to go to Singapore later also. Ramadan is tomorrow.. No food, no drink, good slimming month.. hoorah!!

Milk
15th September 2006,
Weird of all mysteries... Had Kaya/Margarine sandwhich in the morning.. Also had one large cup of hot Nespray Milk.. ahaha.. yes dearies, this woman here is a heavy drinker of piping hot milk, other than coffee of course. Hahaha...
I always have all my hot drink straight from the boiling kettle, can never drink warm or cold beverages like coffee, milk and tea. So yeah, dad was eyeing my cup and giving me that weird look before chuckling. What? Is it strange to see a 21yr old woman enjoying a piping hot cup of milk?
Oh yeah, another picture, another new cute icon.. ahaha.. did it within 15mins. I'm wanting to do Diamond/Usagi icon but all the Diamond pictures are heavily contrasted and very little in quantity. *jumps around merrily*
Any good artist wanna help me indulge in my current state of interest?
Did nothing much but cracking my brains over the company's website that is still under construction.. ahaha.. yeah its slow in progress.. Hey I just recently had my inspiration on getting the design, so now am scouring around for the pictures and stuffs I wanted as the mixed design in the site.
Gah.. my left eye is giving me pains again.. It has been throbbing madly since last night..

New Toy!!
9th September 2006,
I got a new toy!!! Woohoo!!! *Grins like mad*
See that new icon? I made that!! Ahaha.. I got the original pic from http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/rkyamaguchirow/ and began my remodelling into this within the hour.. ahaha.. I so love my new toy..
I got other sets of icons and I'll be putting it up on each new posts.. ahaha... new toy, new itch, new things!! I so love the picture with lots of smut between my two most favourite pair.
Regarding the Indigo Eyes, I'm almost done with it.. well 3/4 of it. I can't decide whether to set in the ideas that had just sprouted in my mind days ago or just leave it like that. But if I leave it like that, then the next chapter will be short.
I'm also thinking of indulging on doing drabbles. Its much easier to be doing them than pouring my brains of on the next idea for the next chapter and its based on randomness... However I can't decide on which anime the drabbles will be posted about. There are some reviewers who had personally requested for me to start venturing into Rurouni Kenshin and there are those who wanted for Hana Yori Dango but I'm pinning for my Demando/Usagi ficlets..
Decision, decision, decisions.. tough...

This and That...
3rd September 2006
Gah! I woke up, did all my household chores and yada-yada before suddenly my mom shouted, "Kin, it's your dad's birthday!"
Oh shit! I totally had forgotten about it. How could I have forgotten something which I have remembered last week? Argh.. my brain and memory needs a through revamp. For what I have forgotten, I made it up in my cooking. Good thing I'm a whipy chef..
It seems I have also forgotten to add a link to the Sesshoumaru-chibi pic in my later post. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8931387/ That's the link for it... Sorry Sammy about forgetting to add the link.. hehehe...
Keep forgetting.. keep forgetting...
Anyway there was a Mat Rempit show aired in one of the TV programmes. Those insufferable monkey-brained homosapiens totally should be rounded up like animals and locked sentenced to 6 years of gruelling basic millitary training. That'll teach those idiots not to monkey around the roads and harming the lives of other motorists. I totally hated them. The pests of the roads.
Unfortunately I am once again unable to complete my Chapter 16 of Indigo Eyes. This time I am not blaming anyone because I'm still exhausted over the previous weeks incident. I'll try my best to hook up some of my spare time for it, although the chances look very minimal.
Still searching for fanfic challenges that look interesting for me to take up with. Hm... Perhaps I should take up some of the drabbles fest.. Looks very interesting considering it's more easier to whip it up instead of trying to mix and match chapters together..
Oh well...
Before I forget!!!! the link for the cute picture of Edward Alphonse above:

Death is weighing us...
27th August 2006
Another month or so has passed and I've been too busy to keep this thing updated. I've finally managed to update my Chapter15 of Indigo Eyes and currently working on the next chapter. I had intended to finish it and post it up by the end of this month but there are lots of things going downhill.
My grandma, the only blood connected one that is still living is dying. She actually fell on 8th August and was warded in the hospital for 2 weeks. During her stay in the hospital, she was acting very weird and her condition worsened when she was discharged.
She complained to being hot and joint discomfort and my family and I was recalled to take care of her. My third aunty was the main helper and our help was most appreciated by her. We had to nurse and literally be at her beck and call. It broke my heart to see my strong and usually lively grandma being so weak and almost lifeless.
I wanna cry, but I can't. I have to be strong, someone needs to be strong in the wave of emotional tears. God, I actually work my ass off until 4am in the moring just to keep my composure intact.
If she is going to die, let her go in peace and let her meet all her relatives first before passing. I'm gonna miss her. She is the only unique gem in all of the diamond and rubies in the world. It really hurts...
I'll be going back to Singapore again tomorrow once I've settled all the things here. The faster I finish, the faster I can get back to my grandma...
Hold on... I wanna see her one last time...
