Wasted!!*

2009-07-12T22:28:00.005+08:00

Never before have I seen people rejecting freebies. Until this week.I had managed to score 2 3-day passes to the Rainforest World Music Festival that was going on from 10th of July - 12th July 2009 at the Sarawak Cultural Village in Kuching, Sarawak.I couldn't go and I've been trying to give away these tickets but apparently no one wanted them. So sad, really. Such a waste. A waste worth RM540,

Come To Me, Goldilocks!

2009-07-11T21:23:00.003+08:00

If there is something that you might not know about me.. is that I DO NOT have a sweet-tooth. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy desserts and all that, but unlike some people I know, I don't go looking for something sweet every time I finish eating. Nor do I ever crave sweet food and desserts when I'm downright, hungry. Hardly ever.However, I was browsing through some of my pictures in my picture album

Hunting For A New TV

2009-07-11T15:31:00.003+08:00

My husband and I were checking out a couple of flat screen TVs the other day and it's becoming much much affordable since the plasma and LCD tvs first came out! Nowadays, you can get a 42" LCD TV for less than RM3k. Unbelievable! The TV that we're using now is basically "on loan" from a dear dear friend who has just bought a brand new one that he's allowing us to use his old one since it'll just

MM: Decode - Paramore (Twilight OST)

2009-07-06T10:17:00.008+08:00

Okay, so I went missing from the blogosphere for a couple of days. Sorry guys.. I was just too preoccupied with Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Saga books that Ane passed to me. I knowww.. crazy stuff.. I never even thought that I'd be hooked to the books. Couldn't say much about the movie, though. It'd be interesting, though, to see the next few movie installments for the books. I wish I may, I

Shop Smart with Coupons!

2009-06-29T19:43:00.008+08:00

With this global recession that's been hitting everyone like crazy, shopping is now a distant memory for me, personally. Gone are the days that I can just give my sister a nudge, head on over to the nearest mall and go crazy at the stores and come home with tons of stuff - some of which still remain in the closet.Now, the only things I get now are absolute necessities and even if I want to

MM: Smack Into You - Jon McLaughlin*

2009-06-28T23:56:00.005+08:00

So this is the song I've been blippin' on my Twitter and I just can't get enough. This song was originally written for Jon McLaughlin's second album, however it did not make the final cut. The song was then given to Beyonce and now appears on Beyonce's I Am.. Sasha Fierce Deluxe Edition. This song was also featured on the soundtrack of her movie, Obsessed, where she starred alongside Idris Elba

Missing Home

2009-06-28T23:30:00.005+08:00

I haven't been well these past few days.. nothing major, mind you. It's just the daily smog inhalation that's been making my throat all itchy and scratchy -- making me end up with sleepless nights and neverending irritable cough.It's moments like this that I yearn for my seaside hometown of KK (short for Kota Kinabalu, located in Borneo). I was just there for a week and already I'm missing the

The Trouble With Swine Flu

2009-06-28T23:12:00.002+08:00

I have finally been given the green light to plan a long awaited, much needed vacation and just when I'm all excited about it, the swine flu comes prancing in and makes it's way to 100 countries, like nobody's business.So now, I am just hoping that the situation is well under control and by the time I want to go on my vacation (Christmas), I will no longer be the paranoid android that I am now.

De-Stress = Shopping!

2009-06-28T14:05:00.000+08:00

With all that happened recently, the sad news of the legendary Farrah Fawcett and MJ's passing and that horrific accident that I heard and witnessed a couple of days ago, I'm thinking it's time to de-stress. I didn't get a chance to follow Syura for her outing at Urbanscapes which sounded like sooooooooo much fun!Well, since I wanted to de-stress, I took hubs on a small shopping excursion for

Goodbye King of Pop!!*

2009-06-26T14:53:00.006+08:00

When I woke up this morning I never expected to learn about the news of Michael Jackson's death. It was so devastating to learn of the news.I think I knew the songs to Jackson 5's ABC/123 before I actually learned my alphabets. Seriously. My parents bought the albums when we first moved to U.S. and I was 2 then.. Ever since, I grew up listening to the rest of MJ's albums.. and I knew this man was

CCR in Vegas!!

2009-06-25T14:39:00.002+08:00

My husband is such a big fan of Creedence Clearwater Revival a.k.a. CCR. He once even requested that I choose a CCR song for my Music Monday. Of course, one of his faves is "Proud Mary" and I was more than happy to indulge him. I recently heard that 2 of the original members of CCR are having a whole lot of shows lined up in Vegas this year. Maybe this is the time for me to cajole him to bring me

The Accident!*

2009-06-24T18:28:00.007+08:00

So here I was just battling whether to finish my Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen movie review last night, right.. but I was so sleepy and Today.com just wasn't co-operating with me.So while I was still blinking sleepily at my monitor.. suddenly, around 4.20am, the quiet sleepy night was broken with a full 5 seconds of screeching brakes then BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!!!! Then silence.I immediately

Happy Father's Day!

2009-06-22T01:15:00.008+08:00

I hope it's not too late to wish all daddies out there Happy Father's Day! This day painfully reminds me of my late father.. He passed away on June 13th 2001 and it was just the week before Father's Day and I had already gotten him a Father's Day card. He never got to read it.I miss you Daddy and I hold you close and dear to my heart in every breath that I take. Al-Fatihah. May you rest in peace

The Makings of a Zombie Kid

2009-06-15T01:15:00.005+08:00

It's late and I am writing my last post here at Coffee Bean and I think that I will only be going to be online when I get back to KL this wednesday. I have mixed feelings about that because I really enjoyed my time here in my hometown.. But the longer I stay here, the more it burns a hole in my wallet. Just today we went to visit a friend and her son was playing with his Nintendo Wii and Buddy

Drunken Tales..

2009-06-15T00:34:00.002+08:00

I am sitting here with my friend Matthew at Coffee Bean. He dropped by to meet me because I don't think me and the rest of the gang are able to meet up before I get back. So here he is, sorta tipsy from his island getaway this morning! Apparently this fella had one too many drinks but surprisingly he is still pretty much sober and it amazes me. LOL! But being of Kadazan descent.. I shouldn't be

Salesperson I am NOT!

2009-06-14T22:01:00.002+08:00

While sitting here in Coffee Bean, I met one of my seniors from school and we got to talking and stuff and he ended up asking me if I was interested in working in sales. Out of all the jobs in the world I would never ever venture into sales. I'm more of a buyer than a seller! LOL!I have terrible terrible sales skills and if I was on a sales job search then I would have to be really crazy! So I

If This Doesn't Make Me Healthy...

2009-06-14T21:30:00.003+08:00

.. I don't know what will.Mom is determined to get back on track. The past year my health hasn't really been all that great.. at one point I was hospitalized for almost a week. However, despite all that, the doctors still couldn't find anything wrong with me.So anyways, I find that by taking supplements, my health is at the optimum. Now that I'm at my hometown with my mom, she's making me eat it

Stuffed To The Brim!!

2009-06-13T23:32:00.002+08:00

I am stuffed!! Just got back from Grace Point with the family and man.. I had so much food that I seriously think I've expanded two dress sizes in one seating. Ever since I came back, my mom is determined to prove a point that KK has better food than KL. Granted, food is much fresher and cheaper.. So yes, MOM! KK is better than KL!! LOL! But if this continues on, I will not be recognizable by the

I'm Home!

2009-06-12T22:46:00.004+08:00

Hey guys!! I'm finally able to get online after arriving here in KK on Tuesday... I'm planning to get my family hooked up on Wimax over here but I don't know whether it's available at our location or not.. It's been pure torture without having access to my online activities..I miss my online gang and my Twitter and my 4 blogs! Hahahhaa.. but I have to say.. I'm really glad to be back home. I wish

MM: Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys*

2009-06-08T00:13:00.007+08:00

First time I heard the opening notes of this song, I loved it! I didn't even have to wait till 30 seconds into the song or listen to the chorus. It was a "you had me at hello" moment for me! LOL! Or rather "you had me at...This song is the type of song that just makes everything alright when I'm feeling stressed out. And isn't that what we need on Mondays??
