yet another pointless update just to let you know that i am alive and well

Leaving for Hong Kong on Friday, coming back on Tuesday. Have yet to pack, change money, call for taxi to the airport, etc. I don’t like to pack, change money or call for taxi to the airport. I know it’s a free holiday and I shouldn’t be bitching (so much) about it. But surely there are some things in life that you have to do that you absolutely do not like to do?

Su Ann wrote me a damn long list of what to eat in Hong Kong. Thanks babe! :D Will print the list and hopefully locate the places. If it doesn’t rain, that is. It’s the middle of friggin’ summer and there’s torrential rain in Hong Kong, mch.

Gave up my ticket to the Nuffnang’s Made Of Honour dinner + movie because I realise that there are too many things to be done and I’d not be able to afford a few hours out the night before the flight. Sorry Robb, guess we’ll have to postpone our date :D

Won’t be able to attend the AMBP’s gathering + Incredible Hulk screening on Saturday. You know you won’t have fun without me, Sashi. Might as well postpone it to the following weekend! Heh ;)

To that someone having a house warming party this weekend, would have LOVED to go. Oh well, you won’t have fun without me either, I guarantee it ;) :P

Had dinner with Rich and meimei earlier. Was supposed to go to Lucky Loke because meimei wanted to try the awesome garlic + vinegar deep fried dish but turns out that they do not open for business on Wednesdays. My boss who sent me to SS3 was gutted because he braved the traffic jam to send me to SS3, and would have to brave the traffic jam again to go home and the bloody place ain’t open. Haha.

So we ended up having dinner at Talipon at SS25 instead. They were good company, I guess I wasn’t so much of one and I do apologise. But something just came over me while waiting for meimei to pick me up and I just felt rather tired all of a sudden. Felt better once I got home and took a shower though.

Did I tell you that I am trying out car pooling? Heheh of course the idea came up after the petrol price hike. One of my colleagues lives rather near me and takes the same road to work. It does feel rather awesome not to drive to work — not that there’s any traffic jam along the way. The feeling and knowledge that you do not have to park your car (where I work, ze parking situation is ze HORRIBLE) is liberating. Can’t say the same for my colleague ;)

The savings will not be monumental, as I am giving my daily parking rate to my colleague (RM5). But it does seem rather wasteful to have two or more cars going to the same direction every day, when one is more than sufficient (when you can, because if you live in certain areas, it might take you 3 hours to get to work if you use public transportation). The same satisfaction you get when you refuse the plastic bags they love to hand out wherever and whenever you purchase food and assorted goods.

Had my first taste of Tony Roma’s in Malaysia yesterday. I had the ribs combo + grilled shrimps. The beef ribs were rather good. The grilled shrimps were blah. Mass-manufactured frozen shrimps taste like rubber. Other than that and the mashed potato, it was all right. My sister commented that for the price (that she had to pay, thanks! :D ) we could have a more satisfactory meal at The Eagle’s Nest.

I remember the Tony Roma’s baby back ribs (non-halal) I had in Singapore a couple of years ago. I remember that the ribs were basted with your choice of sauce, whereas the beef ribs I had yesterday was not soaked in any sauce. Instead the 4 different sauces were served to you ketchup style so you could opt to have either this, that or everything. I like this option better. And if you manage to understand this paragraph, hats off to you because I just realised that I am not being very coherent right now, and it’s not something I’d want to do anything about at the moment.

On the way to The Curve yesterday, I was making fun of Ryan because he’s a funny dude in his earnest responses.

Me: I am hungry, I am going to eat you!
Ryan: No, you cannot eat me!
Me: Why not? I am hungry so I want to eat you!
Ryan: Cannot cannot eat me! You must eat dinner!
Me; But you are my dinner so I am going to eat you!
Ryan: You cannot eat me! I angry!

And so on. Then…

1st sister: Ryan, until you turn 15, whenever someone says ‘Eat me, eat me’, you must say no!
Ryan’s mom: What happens after he turns 15?
1st sister: Then depends whether she’s hot or not.

Assorted Blah
