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 great downloads of free stuffs you can surf to Bittorent. If you have Warez, you can just download the torrent using Warez software after you finished the brief downloading and you no need to download their Bittorent P2P software. But as usual, the speed of the downloading can drive even the saintest of person into cursing.

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...

What were you thinking?

15th January 2007

So I've actually posted another topic from PPP and I followed exactly what was required in the opps requirement only to find someone requested that I re-edit my post which I'm not even thinking of doing unless stated by PPP.

Haiz to advertisers, please spare us some space and phrase your opps properly to avoid confusion and inconvenience to us, we are still human beings who still pays for taxes.

I'm typing out a few of my ready-made drabbles and once I've figured how to place it in the blog without crashing my template and other yada-yada, readers will just have to wait.

Other than that, I'm hibernating and won't be awake until Wednesday or so..

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. The Elder 85% The Holly 75% The Alder 75% The Hazel 70% The Oak 70% The Rowan 60% The Reed 55% The Willow 55% The Ash 50% The Birch 45% The Hawthorn 45% The Ivy 40% The Vine 30% What Tree Are You?

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.
