Urghhh

The frustration is killing me.

I hate it so much when I try to talk to someone, and that person doesn't seem bothered to listen.

And at this point of time, I am really angry with you.

If its so hard for you to communicate with me, then just go away, and don't even bother to be nice to me after this.

I don't care.

Dorothy K.

I feel like getting my hands on Dorothy Koomson's "My Best Friend's Girl".
I haven't read any of her books yet. In fact, I'm not an avid reader to start of with. But after reading someone's blog, this particular book has just caught my interest.

Megatrends

I'm back in the office.
I attended the Khazanah Megatrends held at Mandarin Oriental yesterday. It's suppose to be a 2-day event, but I had to come to the office to tend to a few urgent things that could not wait.

The forum was very good and informative. I enjoyed the topics that were discussed particularly the one on the current economic meltdown. My two favorite speakers yesterday were Dato' Sri Idris Jala, CEO of MAS and Dr. Stephen Roach, Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia.

I also got to know a few new people, and amongst them were VPs and CFOs of Khazanah and its subsidiaries. I went alone to this event and am glad I got to widen my connections with these key potential people.

Au Revoir

He's 17 hours away from his other home as I am typing now.
I'm crossing my fingers that he'll be back for a business meeting end of the year, hopefully.
He has gotten a big promotion recently and I'm so proud of him. I knew he always had it in him to succeed in his career :)

I'm in the middle of making a list of some things I need to buy for a small Raya gathering I'm organizing for my close friends. I need to get the things before 3 p.m. today, as I'm heading to Saujana Damansara for another friend's open house. I was quite close to this particular friend of mine, but we kinda drifted apart after she got married.
Guess everyone has different priorities now, which I totally understand.

That's just how life is...

Hello Weekend!

Yes.
It's Friday! And here I am in the office literally jumping for joy. It's been a good week for me.

1. My colleague is back from her maternity leave, so I can hand over the work I've been doing for the last 2 months to the rightful owner.
2. I got to spend some quality time with Mr. H before he leaves.
3. My sister has confirmed her ticket back home. She'll be back end of November for the summer (Australia's summer that is).
4. I received a call from a very good friend who's currently working in Chicago. I was so glad to hear from her since we don't get to talk to each other that often nowdays.
5. It's 10:48 a.m. and I've got another 6 hours to go.

Overdose of Calamari

For the last 3 meals I had(excluding today's breakfast, that is), I didn't fail to include fried calamari a.k.a sotong goreng tepung in the menu.
Dinner on Tuesday at Italiannies, The Curve;
Lunch at Santai TTDI &
Dinner at Muhibbah TTDI yesterday.
Between lunch and dinner yesterday, Mr. H and I went to OU to catch 'House Bunny'. Quite entertaining for a dumb blonde movie. While waiting for the 6:45 p.m. show, we had some Big Apple donuts to fill our not so hungry tummies and later did some reading and book shopping at MPH. I also tried to look for this particular black flats I like at Nose, but they were all sold out.

It was nice to spend the last few days with Mr. H before he heads back to to the States. I'm gonna miss him.



This is Tyson's Corner, a mall we frequently visited since it's just 10 minutes from his house. Oh how I miss shopping in the States. You can never get enough of it.


And Johnny Rockets - my favorite place to have cheeseburgers. I had this thing for cheeseburgers during my last trip. Mr. H and AA were dragged by me for cheeseburgers every now and then. I enjoyed the food there too, Subway's pasrami sandwich (they don't have it here),funnel cakes, French food, Chinese,Thai, Vietnamese and many more and not to forget Malaysian too. I think I went to over 5 different Malaysian restaurants in the East Coast while we travelled.

The 3 things I love in life - shopping and food! And of course, Mr. H's company :)

Aphrodite

The outing with my girlfriends yesterday was great.

We had lunch at Tony Roma's and then catched the 5:20 show for Mamma Mia.
I enjoyed the movie tremendously. Definitely entertaining. And seeing Pierce Brosnan in a 'non-Bond' way, is not something you want to miss. Being a fan of Abba (I've never failed to sing 'Dancing Queen' on the rare occasions of me turning up at karaoke sessions), I would rate the movie 7.5 out of 10.
And Colin Firth, I like.

TGIF

I'm new at this blogging thing, but I find it rather addictive.
Although I haven't got much to write, I thought of just penning down a few things that are on my mind now.

1. My skin feels rather tight and it kinda stings after yesterday's treatment. Mr. H was very nice enough to accompany me for 3 hours, good thing the clinic is a Streamyx Hot Spot, so he could work while waiting :)
2. I'm so glad that it's Friiidayyyyyy!
3. I'm planning to watch Mamma Mia with my girlfriends on Sunday, I haven't met them since Raya, so that is something I'm looking forward to.
4. I love this song.

Growl

What I had today:
Breakfast - A tuna sandwich & Milo
Lunch - 4 pieces of nugget & hot ginger tea
Dinner - Rice and a few dishes & warm water

And of course, I have started to take my probiotics again, after stopping for about 6 months. So now, i take more than 7 capsules a day as my daily supplement. Oh wait, some of them I take more than once a day, so that should total up to about 10.

Living healthy - well, I gotta start somewhere. And yes, I'm planning to start doing my yoga again. Next month, maybe.

Zit Attack

Since a couple of months ago, around April to be exact, I've been getting zits every other day. And right after my trip to the States in May, I came back with more spots! I'm thinking it had alot to do with the weather too, since I was in NY then DC which was quite chilly and then down south to Florida, which was very hot!

I tried to used an old remedy recommended by my mom - the calamine lotion. It did dry up my pimples, but it didn't stop the others from appearing.

So after a month, I decided to visit the skin doctor. Not a dermatologist this time, but an anaesthetist and anti-ageing consultant, who knows a great deal about skin disorders and also works magic to make his patients more youthful. A number of well known celebs have been loyal patients to my doctor, who has a clinic just 10 minutes from Bangsar.

I've had 4 treatments so far, all totalling to RM1750. Although it's quite a big amount for me, I'm quite satisfied with the results. My acne has lessen and my skin is so much smoother. All I need now is a few more sessions to clear up the hyperpigmentation due to all that acne I had a few months back.

Wish me luck.

C'est La Vie

I've got a pile of work to do.

My boss constantly calls me to update him on this and that.

And not only that, as I am involved in another special project with another guy, and I have to make sure that it gets moving too.

I wish I was at home, snuggling my pillows under the covers. I so wanna be a tai-tai right now. Always worry and stress-free.

Anyone there who can make this happen for me?

He is coming to KL later. This caught me by surprise since he's back in his hometown taking care of his dad who is currently recovering from a stroke.

Quite frankly, I'm not too excited to see him. Its not that I don't want to see him, but I think at this point of time, I don't really mind if he's not around. I'm not sure whether it's just a spur of the moment feeling, or that I just have lost interest.

Me - Fickle as always.

Monday Blues

Here I am writing again after 9 days off from work.

Bliss.

It was nice to celebrate Eid with the family. Travelled more than 1000 kilometres to visit family and friends across Malaysia. Well not quite the whole of Malaysia, just Pahang and N.Sembilan, where my grandparents reside.
The food was great, I ate more than 5 times a day! And I'm still working really hard to put on the extra kilos! My size 26 jeans is still very loose. Hopefully by the end of the month, I'll get to put on 2 kilos, at least!
