Hello everyone,

I've come back to say that if you've somehow found yourself back here, thank you so much for still checking back despite knowing that this blog has pretty much died. I'm here to let you know that I'm no longer on hiatus and I've started anew!

However, I won't be doing it here anymore.

I've upped and moved to Wordpress. I would be pleased if you were to continue being in my life as I continue on my blogging journey. See you guys there!

Follow me now on

Tête-à-tête

#27 - Braiiiiiiiiiiiiiins!

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 09:49:00 +0000

Yesterday, I was helping a friend look for children's book titles to help fill up his school's empty bookshelf. While today's subject wasn't exactly discovered in the Children's section, it caught my attention immediately.

Zombiiiiies!

I'll admit straightaway that I do have a fascination with zombies ever since Dawn of the Dead popped my zombie cherry. XD Now what do I find? Zombies invading great classic works of literature?

This purchase made me quite happy today.

#26 - Oooey Gooey Chocolatey Happinessy

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 09:40:00 +0000

I've been really down lately, which unfortunately led to the dismal stagnancy of this place. I had to take measures in finding my zen, hence this post today. It didn't really cheer me up as good as it was but I think it deserves a second chance. Maybe next Saturday.

#25 - Hummer

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sat, 23 May 2009 19:26:00 +0000

This fancy-schmancy car dealership just opened up right in front of my workplace. As I walked on the pathway along it, I saw the usual luxury cars--all shiny and expensive looking--lined up, ready to be bought by people with money to burn. Mercedes, BMWs, sports cars with Italian names I'm too lazy to pronounce...and then, my eye caught something which led me to a screeching halt.

A Hummer.

A beautiful Hummer just sitting there, waiting to be bought. A Hummer I could look at every day while most car enthusiasts only pray they'd get a glimpse of--if they're lucky.

Darren, eat your heart out. ;)

#24 - Twins

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:43:00 +0000

Here's an interesting fact;

In the entire stretch of buildings in which my company is located, there are only two people who drive the same car with the exact same color; me and some other dude.

We've never actually crossed paths but I am often amused to see where my car's identical twin would be parked by the time I get to work. I suppose the driver works somewhere near me as his car is frequently spotted in close proximity.

Today, I arrived late at work. Like after lunch sort of late. For those of you who know where I work, you'd know that getting decent parking at that time is virtually impossible and that was true for me. Desperate and very, very late, I parked...illegally. I've never gotten a traffic summon before and don't intend to start a trend but I was simply desperate.

Anyway, there I left my car in the middle of the makeshift parking space. I grabbed a speedy lunch and went indoors to punch my card which would inevitably send alarm bells ringing come paycheck day.

Much later, I decided to take a peek outside the window, full of hope there wouldn't be a long piece of paper stuck under my wind wiper. What did I find instead?

A car ... identical to mine ... of identical color ... parked directly next to mine.

Was this the driver's acknowledgement to me that only we drove the same car on the block? Did he think it was funny? Was it a joke? Well, I sure found it hilarious considering the ample illegal parking space which was available surrounding us plus an actual parking space in front of Old Town.

I found it so amusing that I just had to take a picture.

I should have left a friendly note on his wind shield before I left. Maybe we could have become friends. Maybe another opportunity will prop up and I can finally say hello! Of course, if he turns out to be some creepy dude...well, that's another story for another time.

#23 - Human Sticker Book

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sun, 17 May 2009 14:59:00 +0000

Well, obviously this isn't a very well taken shot but some kid at my workplace ran up to me and stuck these three cute stickers on my arm and ran away.

Is that incredibly cute or what? :P

#22 - WTF

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sat, 16 May 2009 15:11:00 +0000

"Smile big like me, girls!!"

The picture above is pretty darn self explanatory but, really, you only see things like these on the internet with other people's futzed up photos! Who is that dude?? Was he that bored with his company? Come to think of it, it's pretty funny to discover this.

#21 - New Watch!

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sun, 03 May 2009 15:23:00 +0000

I've been needing a new watch for some time now but kept putting off buying one because:

a) I'm extremely picky when it comes to watches. It has to feel good from the moment I pick it up right until I put it on my wrist. If there's even a tiny negative feeling to it, I don't bother with it.

b) My current watch is one of sentimental value, as it is a Christmas gift from P about two years ago.

c) I don't usually like buying watches and don't particularly like owning more than one at any time.

I think those are a fairly good reasons to endure wearing my current watch which is much too tight after two pieces of the metal strap went missing. However, it's not only too tight but now I've been getting hives from all the pressure against my skin and that's what prompted me to start looking for a new watch.

As I've said, I'm picky. I looked at every watch store along Batu Feringghi while I was in Penang but didn't find anything. The next day while at Queensbay Mall however, I finally found what I wanted.

This beeeeeeautiful watch above! Simple yet classy/elegant enough. However, as it was a Tissot, it set me back quite a bit but I do think it was worth it because I'm not going to change watches any time soon.

#20 - Just another day at work

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:46:00 +0000

I was a bit bored sometime after lunch at work today and seeing I also had a wee bit of free time to spare, I started doodling. First, it was just a bunch of cartoonish animals but then it started to evolve to me drawing cartoons of the lot in my office.

As you can see, my colleague Naela is as usual glued in front of the telly with her notorious obsession for American Idol (along with her school girl crush of Anoop Desai) while her shaven-headed nemesis,Daniel, crawls to make yet another day more interesting for her.

And of course, the two usual innocent bystanders Jessica and yours truly watch all the drama...that's about to happen. O_o

At the time of typing this, I have already gifted this doodling to Naela who loved it! :D

#19 - Too Damn Early

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:11:00 +0000

Yes, I wasn't the only one who heard aaaaaaallll the commotion about Krispy Kreme opening up here in Malaysia. Hearing something about a launch that already took place, I decided to head down to Times Square and lo and behold...

I was one day too damn early.

Sigh.

#18 - Twenty Six

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:00:00 +0000

Stupid blotch...eggh...

Happy 26th Birthday, my darling P.

#17 - Impulse shopping

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:21:00 +0000

I dropped two pant sizes!! Woot woot!! Well okay, that's not entirely true since I could squeeze myself into a size 29 but well, that was just barely comfortable. While browsing around in F21, I came across some rather cheap white jeans.

White jeans.

Ooooh.

Seeing how they only had sizes 28 and 30 left, I naturally picked the latter but when it was too baggy, I sighed and took my chances with 28. As I slid the jeans up my arse, I chanted...

"Please let it fit! Please let it fit!!"

And with one easy hook of the button, it fiiiiiiiiiit!!

I literally jumped up and down in my little dressing room with joy.

I'm pretty sure my successful treadmill runs (yep, twice today babeh!) didn't cause this instantaneous reduction. I have hope!! Woot!

It looks like a good restart. :D

I'm such a slacker.

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 19:31:00 +0000

This is yet another post about my ongoing battle against the bulge. If you do not wish to hear me rant, whine, complain and bitch about it, better you move on. The rest of you may stay on while I provide you with vacuum bubbles to hopefully drown out my incessant ramblings.

I think I've been really slacking off.

I've been less than vigilant with what I've been stuffing into my mouth since Chinese New Year and more importantly, I've been allowing myself to indulge in daily guilty pleasures (i.e Starbucks, dim sum) with my colleagues at lunch time (shaddap Jessica!).

I think my Willpower has taken a long--too long--holiday and put its replacement, Laziness, in charge. I think Laziness needs to be fired. After all, we are facing an economic downturn and we need to cut the fat. (Haha I'm beginning to be quite good at this pun thing....)

I only have 12 more pounds to lose. Just twelve! For you metric system lot, that's 5kg. If you think about it, after losing 56 pounds (25kg) so far, 12 more shouldn't be that hard. Or take that much work.

The worst bit is that it's not like there hasn't been any signs which were constantly yelling at me to get my butt off the chair and jump on the treadmill. In fact, there's been plenty! I've been following The Biggest Loser religiously on tv and each episode reminds me how 12 pounds is nothing! Heck, one guy lost thirty-freakin-one pounds in one week!

Watching The Biggest Loser basically tells me that I have no excuse for putting off losing those last 12 pounds. I like feeling the guilt, because it makes me want to do something. Or at least think about it.

But you know, I work all day with kids which tires me out completely. Heck, I get all my exercise there! Jaw exercises from all the screaming, the aerobic exercises from my hands and arms flying about while blasting out all kinds of instructions and doing lots of squats since I can barely ever sit down--because hey, since when do you really sit down when you teach kids?

I'm just making excuses...and a whole lot of them.

I wanted to wait until Monday to start my regime again but I realize that I could easily start tomorrow. I know I've said it before--actually, more than I can count--that I'll wake up to exercise before starting my dailies but I never get round to it.

I'll try my best tomorrow.

Not only do I want to do it for me, but also because J seems to have started doing something about her situation and I admire that, thus reminding me yet again that there's just NO excuse for me to be slacking off!

And also, I want to show a dear colleague of mine, who has been relying on me for advice on nutritionals (though I'm frustrated she rarely listens to me!) that I can do it and will do it, proving that I can help her! Maybe then she'll start listening to me -_-"

As a painful reminder to myself, I dug out an old photo (one which I'm particularly ashamed of) and reminded myself yet again how much I need to finish the damn job.

So I like that yellow t-shirt a lot! So sue me! :P

I ate my lunch bored.

I ran errands half bored.

I was groomed. Was not so bored.

I ran errands again, bored.

I drove to the mall bored.

I walked around bored.

I drove home bored.

I got home bored.

I'm typing this, bored.

I'm bored of being bored.

And, I'm lonely.

#6 - The Best Spaghetti Ever

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Ling) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:58:00 +0000

Look at that sinful plate of carbs!!

I've had a lot of spaghetti in my pasta-dining-life. Bolognese, Marinara, Pomodoro, Carbonara, Squid Ink, Seafood, Instant...the list goes on.

But nothing, not even in Italy, compares to the mouthwatering culinary orgasm Ms. Reed's Mama's Beef Bolognese Spaghettini induces. It gets my vote as #1 on top of my must-have pasta list. It's sooo good that I can't resist having it each and every time I visit the restaurant.

I wonder if Ms. Reed's will pay me for advertising this..
