What's Going On?

Hey! Hey! You! You!

I don't like your girlfriend!

No way No way!

I think you need a new one

Hey! Hey! You! You!

I could be your girlfriend

I love this song, don’t get me wrong. It’s catchy and all but apa telah happen to Avril Lavigne? She’s wearing make-up and *gasp* a skirt now! I know she got married and all but seriously, does marriage really change the way a person dress up or behave?

Let’s take another example. Remember Alanis Morrissette? Remember how angst she was when she came out with her 1st album? She sounded so angry and against the world kinda person. Remember how good her songs were back then? I mean, who could forget the songs like “Ironic” and “You Oughta Know”?

Alanis went from this…

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

To THIS!

Thank you India

Thank you providence

Thank you disillusionment

Thank you nothingness

Thank you clarity

Thank you thank you silence

Don’t get me wrong. I still think she’s one of the best female songwriter ever but she’s not so angry anymore, you know what I mean?

Have a good weekend people! I’m watching Ocean’s 13 tomorrow nite. Woohhoooo! I LOVE YOU BRAD PITT! *Drool*

Of Muffins and a Wedding

I had a very productive weekend. As oppose to every other weekend where hubby and I just stayed home and watched dvds that we had bought months ago but still hasn’t gotten around to watching them.

On Saturday afternoon, I took my cousin, niece and nephew to watch Shrek3 at Cineleisure. I prefer the 1st and 2nd one though. This time around Puss and Donkey didn’t have many scenes, which is a waste coz I thought Charming was boring. Justin Timberlake as Artie was okay I guess but I’d prefer to see more of Puss and Donkey. Baby Ogre and baby Dronkey were so cute!

Then Saturday night, hubby and I went to Careforre to look for a cheap magazine rack. We found the rack no thanks to the sales people there. I tell you, it’s the same everywhere. Why hire salespersons when they don’t know where everything is suppose to be? If I have to find every single thing myself, I might as well work there, you know?! There were only 2 colours available, white and pink so obviously I chose pink.

My new pink coloured magazine rack

Anyway, since we’ve watched every single so-called blockbuster movie there is, we decided to be more cultured and watched this French movie called Priceless or “Hors de Prix” starring Amelie Tautou. I think they censored quite a number of scenes which is so bloody annoying (what’s new?). But thank god for Amelie Tautou! She’s such a good actress and one hot chick but she’s too skinny la. Bones everywhere. If I were a man I’d go for curvaceous looking chick like Salma Hayek or Eva Mendez.

Sunday morning I decided to test my cooking skills by baking muffins. The first batch came out really terrible coz the muffins looked “senget”. Seriously. Tinggi sebelah okay. But hubby said they tasted good in spite of how they looked so I tried baking another batch and they turned out pretty good. So maybe I’m going to start baking some more and bring them to the office for my colleagues.

My yummy muffins..or so says hubby...

Sunday night I attended a friend’s wedding at Singgahsana Hotel. Congrats to Shasi & Vasantha! They met through Friendster too. Hihihi…Eh, you single people out there, if you don’t have a friendster account, open one and soon you too will find your mate...errmm..maybe...

Word of caution: Please don’t put pictures of you in a tight spaghetti dress or a bikini ‘coz you may attract a different crowd. The perverted ones I mean.

The food at the wedding was excellent. It was from this caterer called “Little Caterers”. I can’t remember the names of the dishes though. Indian weddings are very festive, aren’t they? If you’re a guest there is no way you can upstage an Indian bride coz their gowns are bright and so glittery. What is an Indian wedding without the very energetic dancers? The Indian dances were okay but one off thing was when the dancers danced to “Let’s Get It Started” by the BEP and they were wearing army outfits! *Shudder*

Spidey, my buddy

Was having a conversation with the hubby last night after we came back from watching Pirates of the Caribbean 3. It was an excellent movie simply because it was raining “Johnny Depp” (anyone who has watched the movie know what I am talking about). Anyway, I thought the movie was a bit long and tad confusing because everyone kept backstabbing everyone else. Out of all the 3 instalments of POTC, I prefer the 1st one.

Back to the conversation I had with the hubby, we were talking about how obsessed Hareez (my 2 year old nephew) was with Spider-man. The hubby brought back a poster of Spidey and I hung it on one of the cupboard in the room downstairs and Hareez kept staring and pointing at it like Spidey was gonna jump out of the poster anytime and grab him. He was so excited looking at the poster and it also doesn’t help when his parents got him a Spidey outfit which he would have worn everyday had we not stop him. I am not planning to let him watch any of the Spider-man movies because I don’t want him to climb on the couch and jump down from it or imitating all the dangerous stunts like in the movie. I can’t even remember how many times he has hit his head by doing those stunts. Still tak serik-serik lagi. Nangis kejap jer, lepas tu lompat balik!

His surprise look when I took his picture. He can't stand the flash from the camera. Hehehe..





Spidey "high" on milk

So anyway hubby said that boys at Hareez's age are usually obsessed with colourful-dressed superheroes like Spidey (because he can jump from one building to another) or Superman (because he can fly and he’s uberstrong). However, as these boys grow up into teenagers or even young adult, they would prefer a much “darker” superhero like Batman (because he is mysterious and has a lot of cool gadgets). Ye ke? I think there are even some adults who fancies Spidey but maybe too embarrassed to admit it :p

I am just waiting for Hareez to loose interest in Mr. Spidey. I dah tak tahan jadi his wrestling buddy. Sakit satu badan. That boy is very ganas…Sigh…

As We Get Older...

As I grow older I realised that my tolerance level has decreased quite a bit. Things that usually don’t upset me last time like how the guy at the McDonalds counter can take so bloody long to punch a simple order on the cash register or how the guy can entertain and take orders from a person who had just cut queue could easily make my blood boil up to 100 degree Celsius within seconds. However, I would not blow my top. I would get very annoyed but I would not loose my patience.

I am not a quick-tempered person. I would like to think of myself as a calm and level-headed person when dealing with human’s inefficiencies. I mean not everyone is perfect and they’re bound to slip up and make mistakes once in a while. But the thing is what if the slip-ups are things which can be avoided in the first place if you are more careful or mindful of others?

Slip of the tongue – I’m sure everyone is guilty of this at one point in time. Like for example someone told you a secret and made you swear not to tell anyone and after a month or so you totally forgot about what you’ve sworn and accidentally blurted it out to another person? This is how friendships/relationships are destroyed. You don’t mean to but you kinda did. A point of no return.

Consider these scenarios :

1) What if you’ve found a bug in your soup and a strand of hair in your dish? Would you kick up a fuss and let the whole restaurant know how unhygienic the restaurant is and demand for your money back? And after all that you go home and take out your laptop and begin writing a long-winded letter to Malay Mail telling the whole nation what had happened to you and demand the Ministry of Health to drop by the restaurant and if need be close it down? Is that considered over-reacting? Or are you being a concerned citizen?

2) What if you’re watching a movie and in the middle of the movie the person next to you starts talking to his girlfriend and narrating every single scene in that movie? At first, you politely tell the guy to keep quiet. He kept quiet for a while but after 10 minutes he’s at it again, yakking away, oblivious to the fact that he is annoying the living crap out of people around him especially you. So do you then again politely tell him to keep it down or do you make your way out of the cinema in the middle of the movie (if you do this you’d be missing some of the scenes from the movie and imagine that you’ve been waiting to see the movie for the longest time and it was so bloody hard to get a ticket) and find the manager and tell the manager what happened and ask the manager to remove the guy and his girlfriend from the cinema? Or without warning, would you just punch the living daylights out of the guy right then and there? Or would you just keep quiet because you wouldn’t want to make a scene?

I’ve lived with a person who has a quick temper all my life i.e. my dad. Sometimes he gets angry at things which a normal person would not even get angry at and I’m telling you it’s so silly that you would feel embarrassed to even tell people what causes him to swear and shout. I know people say that you have to endure things like this if you have a police officer or an army as your dad because they run their household like how they would run their squads. Dictatorship is the word I’m referring to. People say as one gets older one will ultimately mellow down but not in my dad’s case though. He’s like a time-bomb and anything could set him off. He wouldn’t lay his hands on anyone but he would rant and rave and “berleter sampai subuh”. Oh yeah he sulks too, worse than my 2 year old nephew, Hareez. We've all learned to just get out of the way when he explodes.

I don’t want to turn out like that. And I made damn sure the person I marry is not like that. But if for some reason he turned out to be like that in the future I would send him packing. Most definitely, without a doubt.

So what gets your blood boiled?

How far would you go to correct the wrong done to you?

Would you encroach on another person's rights in order to preserve your right as a human being?

The Royal Wedding

Aaaahhh...Malaysia's Most Eligible Bachelor is not Eligible anymore. I've always thought that Raja Nazrin was the most handsome and smartest prince around. You hardly ever hear any gossip about him being a womaniser etc. He had broken a lot of hearts when he announced his nuptial to Zara Davidson a week ago. They look good together, don't u think so?

Another person whose heart has been broken is my colleague, Princess Sparkle...Dahlah Raja Nazrin got married on her birthday plak tu...What a birthday present huh Sparkle? Sabar jer la kay...I dont blame you for not going to work today. It is a lot to handle :p Be strong.
