Dimples Found Porky Queen
When the door of happiness closes, another opens
But often times we look so long at the
Closed door that we dont see the one
Which has been opened for us.
Dont go for looks, they can deceive
Dont go for wealth, even that fades away
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it only takes a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright
Find the one that makes your heart smile.
May we have enough happiness to make us sweet,
Enough trials to make us strong
Enough sorrow to keep us human and
Enough hope to make us happy
And no, i didnt find Dimples in the gym. I will leave you guessing..... and as the title says, Dimples Found Porky Queen.

Salute to Baby Bunny

Sabtu, Ahad & Isnin
Thank goodness for BCombat with Baby Bunny and EC on Sunday. I dont feel so guilty now. With stomachs to fill, shoppings to do, movies to watch (and yes going to the wrong cinema), stories to catch up, books to collect and more meals to fill the tummies, I pratically spent 11 hours in Curve on Sunday. Time sure flies. And ignorance no more.
And went bonkers on Monday. Many impulse and unplanned shopping. But was worth it, I feel. Maybe not when I have to pay the credit cards. Hahaha.... Xmas shoppings, traffic and human jams . all done and left with a pair of exhausted legs by night.
Yawnnnnnnn..

On a Non-Gym Friday
The night ended young for me. After a short visit again to their crib, I had to excuse myself for a bright early morning. Long weekend though.

Friends Think Im Obsess With Gym
When I told LKS that my last visit to the gym was Monday (today is Thursday), he said, “Are you sure you are feeling ok?”
............................ (speechless)
And Dougie and gang forbid me to go gym on Friday so we can all go for TOM YAM.
........................................................ (Even more speechless)
How can they ask that of me??? Friday is BCombat day. But friends have to come first.
(hint: see how SUPER NICE of me to skip gym for you people. Dinner better be on you guys)
Top 5 Excuses When Relatives Get Non-Creative
Very useful for those attending wedding dinners this few months.
MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: So when your turn to get married ar?
1) When I have the time...
2) Oops. I already did. I just didnt invite you.
3) When your daughter or son gets married...
4) When you decide to fund my wedding...
5) When I realise I want to get tied down with kids and having no life like you..
Different Generation
When you are in your early to mid-20s, you spent your weekend with friends partying non-stop in clubs or attending birthday parties.
When you are in your late 20s and early 30s, you can't avoid receiving wedding summons from your friends.
And if you are married with kids in your 30s and 40s, you tend to attend their full moon and children's birthday parties.
What about 40s and 50s? What do we attend ar? More clubbbing, weddings and children's parties?

New Stuff
Later in the night, after a kids bday party and yum cha, TT, OTS and LK and I headed to kill time in bowling. I call it ROLLING. And not bad a score for someone who does not really bowl.... aka ME. First game - 66 points.
Second game - 88 points.
Someone should buy the lottery.. 6688
And when Sunday came, I put on my chauffeur cap and drove mom for a wedding dinner in KL. EC agreed to have dinner and suggested Alexis. Which I was cool since I have not been there before. Somehow I dont know why I think Alexis was in Maju Junction Mall instead of Great Eastern Mall. Thank goodness I didnt have to drive there. I would have ended up in the wrong side of the town. Lovely evening, good food and great chat with EC... while he annoys the waitress with his 1001 requests. muahahaha....

3 Days In A Row
Sunday - cardio machine + BCombat (was late for yoga)
Monday - pilates + yoga (RPM was full)
Tuesday - cardio machine + BCombat
Finally, tried Myke's class yesterday since he was replacing Terrence in FF Consplant. Since the former didnt teach in FF Maxis when I was there last 2 weeks, I was hoping I am not tat jinx to miss his class this round. And as usual, when he asked whether there was any first timer in the class, only 1 hand was up. But when we asked "any first timers in my class"... i think almost everyone's hands were up in the air. *grin*
But that does not mean his class was not good. It was great but my leg still ache from the pilates stretching and i was not familiar with his tracks. I think they are older tracks. But its good still cos am getting bored of the newer tracks. Hehe... hopefully to attend the small boy's class again in the near future.
Am missing BStep and BBalance already. A bit of BPump and RPM. But no gym until Saturday. Need some time to recuperate.

RASCAL FLATTS -What Hurts The Most
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Ooohhh....
Doggy Style
Anyway, back to Doggy Style. Was very excited when I saw the ads in the paper and I know "THIS I MUST GO". I need to find out if the mascot is as cute as the one I saw in Movie World in Aussie.
Queuing with parents and kids... but me with no kids....
Persuade Lady Di to join the queue
The 2 Big kids on Stage
We were so delighted....... or at least I am la... that big fury animal must be exhausted in that suit... thanks to WL for snapping pictures for the 2 ladies. And waiting for us while we shop. Hahaha
And of course, being the anal us, we cant help but to some spot some mistakes on the poster ads of the event.. Terrible huh? Another sign of carelessness...
And that night, I finished reading Guys and Dogs by Elaine Fox.
A funny romance story which I like. And you know wat they say about man who likes dogs? High chances of being good husbands. Er.... not sure if i can believe that... but worth as a guide. So next time, ask ur man if they have dogs of love dogs?? hahaha.. worth a try.

Gym Again
*slap forehead*
I don’t know what else to say.
Monday, November 20, 2006
Chili Padi Cow Queen??
Friday's gym didnt happen because of the heavy downpour.
Instead, on Saturday I went for BBalance and RPM which was kinda ok. Boring cos no one I know went to gym. And when evening came, I totally lost my appetite for dinner when my mom's friend commented about my voluptous figure. While i thanked her for her honesty, I think she was the reason why I only ordered fried button mushrooms for dinner - my only solid food that day. Shucksssss.....
And when Sunday came, I know I have to go for Yoga and BCombat. I kinda like Terrence's way of teaching. Kinda add a little spice to BCombat for the regulars who are already tired and bored of the tracks. Then proceed to lunch at Paddingtons One Utama with Stephy and with last-minuters MNG and LKS. I ordered... 703 or was it 903... it was some dollar pancakes with lots of fruits and nuts. Something healthy and less fattening for the pork lover.
And dinner was still reasonably healthy as well. Phew.....
I know Im getting too paranoid. To the extreme that I am having celery sticks for lunch. But I love the celeries. They are not only healthy but tasty. I wonder if I will ever get over a week's lunch with only vegetables.
I feel like a cow already.

On My Off Days
So took 1/2 day leave yesterday and when people asked what I was gonna do.
Porky Queen: Service car lol... and go gym... and go watch Casino Royale
Most of the reaction I got was: WHAT??? You took leave to go gym?? You are nuts.
Hehe.. Baby Bunny and I wanted to tried out another Combat's instructor class in Menara Maxis so it would only be practical if i left work early. Unfortunately, he didnt teach yesterday. Dratsssss big time.. But it was first time at Maxis and I really look sam pah... really not use to the place there.
So after torturing ourselves in BBalance and BCombat, we headed to indulge in Chillis. This round, Baby Bunny and I shared Triple Play with Mr W who came later to join us. They dont call it Triple Play for no reason yeah.
And yes, I was very adamant that I was never gonna watch Bond show. Well, I'm no Bond fan but now I got to eat my words. Casino Royale was bloody awesome. And coming from a person who never watch most of the old sequels, I really think I am tempted to watch them now. Daniel Craig really had the killer eyes.
Enough now. Need to head to FF for RPM. Yes on my leave day again. Gym for 3 days in a row... Not bad!

More Resistance
So I claimed that I was new in RPM... which was indeed ½ true. I did RPM a year ago for 2 or 3 times… on the old bike. So technically I did it before but not the right way. So instructor AL showed and explained all the correct ways to use the machine to the class.
And the class begins.
And after 2 tracks, I was exhausted. My stamina must be really low. And throughout the class, AL kept going “More Resistance More Resistance”. That’s all I heard. Man, cycling is not that easy. There was a moment when my leg could not even pedal anymore and the gal next to me had to lower the resistance on my bike so my legs could move. How shy!!!
But I guess it was worth it. I didn’t give up. I finished the entire class. Cos it’s a motivation to fit into my old clothes.
Hmm… but all the kilos were added back at late dinner with Lady Di and MNG. How is it possible for me to shed off those kilos when I add them back after gym??
Maybe I should just get a whole new wardrobe.

What I Feel Now
i feel fear
i feel sleepy
i feel fat
i feel neglected
i feel betrayed
i feel mellow
i feel cold
i feel hurt
and i feel unPorky.
Kaki Gembira
But the animated musical was different. It was hillarious but I think TT and WL laughed more than I did. I was somewhat distracted. Maybe I ate too much KFC. Maybe I feel weird not going to the gym. I dont know. Something is bothering me. I dont know what it is. Hope is not the biatch. I hope I know what it is. Cos its farking irritating me.

The Power of Words
Some people can be so low.
So unprofessional.
So bitchy.
I Was Working
Watched Cinta - sebuah kisah tentang cinta before the actual screening on Nov 30. A Malay movie directed by Kabir Bhatia, it touches on 5 different love stories that cut across various age group. A very modern and touching film which depicts various of love - old, young, forbidden, everlasting, sacrifice.. The scene that touched me the most is the sacrifice made by the husband to let go a wife he truly truly loved. In a note, "Love is about letting the person I love go and knowing she is happy."
But i didnt cry. Im quite the tough chick. Only cry when I watch Mighty Joe Young. When that poor guy felled off the ferris wheel. Not Titanic. Not World Trade Centre.
I think I am heartless.

Slacker Queen
Baby Bunny and I decided to indulge in sinful McD after that. What a way to treat ourselves after gymming. Muahaha... no wonder I have not shed those extra kilos. And Baby Bunny can really eat. But lucky her, she does not put on weight! Im so JEALOUS now...
And as both of us reminisce about our school days, we cant help but to laugh at the similar dreams or nightmares that we have. Even till today.
You know what they say about laughing after a full meal? Makes you fatter. Hahahaha...

I AM SO GOING TO BAN CURVE ON MONDAY
Despite being there at 7.10pm, I was denied entry to BCombat for one good reason. I didn't register for class. There was a long line and stupidly thinking I could sneak into class was rather naive of me. Can u believe the GUARDS never left their place for a good 10 minutes or more? They even put a bar on the other exit to forbid us from entering. WTF!!!!!! I was so close to even do my combat stance outside the studio. But on 2nd thot, nah...
Lady Di and I grew impatient of waiting and wasting time. So we proceed to use the cardio machines. YES machines again. What's with machines and I this month???
After stepper for 15 minutes and cross trainer for another 10 minutes, I already felt out of breath. Drats......How to continue with BPump later??
So While waiting for the lucky members to finish BCombat, and I can help but to feel envious, Lady Di said, "So Cham right. Can see but cannot go."
That's when I DECIDED. No more Curve on Mondays. It's a waste of time. CC's class is way too packed. And curve is just way too jinx.
Even AJ was not spared of the miserable porthole and I think she suffered a broken spoiler resulting from it. Sniff Sniff Sniff. Mommy is so sorry.... :-(
So yeah, until Im less pissed, Curve FF will not be an option for me. NOT even for BCombat and BPump with my usual instructors.
Hectic Weekend
So since Friday no gym, Saturday must go to gym. Was looking forward to BStep and BCombat until Curve had to cancel all the classes due to some unforeseen circumstances. What a diplomatic way to put it!!! Apparently, some dude had a heart attack while using machines and hmmm... died. Poor chap. So headed to Manulife with WL instead. At least they still have 2 evening classes. Did BStep 1/2 way cos my legs were aching badly still. Must be the cross trainers. Didnt I say I hate machines? Anyway, after that was BCombat taught by KT and YKH who was not spared the freedom to be in class as a member. But I guess 2 instructors were better than one. So who is complaining? Anyway, headed to Restoran Muar at Tengkat Tong Shin for dinner. Good food but too oily for me. But kam sia WL for bringing me there k.
And when Sunday came, Baby Bunny and I headed to CC's housewarming, Thinking food wont be served that early, we crashed our ass at TGIF and each finished a bowl of mushroom soup before that. And bottomless Ice Lemon Tea. Yikess.. Already 1/2 full when we reached his crib. Haha.. and were the first to arrive. Kiasu betul. So overall nice place, nice neighbourhood, nice host and of course nice food. There was siu yook (u can see my face light up when I saw pork)..... and the cakes.. they were AWESOME. Wanted another piece of chocolate cake but since I haven’t been a good gal at gym, I guess I have to pass. :(
Wanted to so crash into bed but I think I ate too much. Dratss.. Instead finished reading Five People You Meet In Heaven. Was about time I did.

It's Hard To Choose
Would I give up LOVE for a high flying job in the States, packed with an attractive and irressistible combo package called security and stability? If yes, am I materialistic?
Or will LOVE be strong enough for me to lead a simple and perhaps happy life, where material gains do not matter?
It's really hard to decide. Which road will one take? Which road will you take?
Aliens in Cardio Dance
And my observation from the 2 classes?? Cardio Dance members dress in more colourful gym attire. I AM so SERIOUS. Looking at what Baby Bunny and I wore, we were so out of place. We were BORING. We were not in pink, turqoise, yellow or purple like most of them. Shucks... But guess we had a great time making a fool of ourselves. :D
Do i like it? Maybe. But Combat still remain #1. Cos its faster and impactful. It feels strong and powerful. And its more serious than Cardio Dance where I spent 1/2 the time laughing and trying to remember the dance steps.
Im so not cut out to be a dancer "_"

Grammar Issues
Cant Live Without Passport
And going to KHY's Combat does have its pro and con. Pro is that he will show u the right movements and stances which other older instructors will hardly touch. Con is that its just too late for a Monday.
Guess we cant have everything.

Halloween Party
Anyway, rewind a bit. Tom Yam with the gang was supposed to happen at Vichuda before Halloween party. But i think since we are not meant to eat Tom Yam or BKT for that matter, the plan shifted to Souled Out for dinner. And thank goodness booking for a group of 14 people or so was still possible at 3pm.

Goodbye My Fish Bowl Mate
Wishing u all the best in ur new fish bowl yeah....

My Deepa-Raya
The answer is Yes.
First off, GYM was a definite affair. Friday! Saturday! And Monday! Each day with at least 1 ½ class. And when Wednesday came, I was already reluctant to step anywhere near Curve again. Even with the holidays, it was packed as usual. Had my first step at YOGA but it’s a love-hate feeling. Still thinking if I will ever make time to go for it. Still love Combat and Step though I hate the old tracks. Why cant instructors stick to the new tracks?
And you think I would have been fitter and slimmer with all the endless hours spent there? Don’t bet on it. Especially when you start to fill the growling tummy with sinful Shrimp Pasta from TGIF. Lunch with Baby Bunny and Mr W on Saturday after gym and it was a hilarious sight. Mr W had a point. We females sometimes talk about celebrities as if they are our best friends. Kekeke.. And as the both of them indulged in political debate, I cant help but to think how non-political I am. Shallow? Maybe!
Anyway, Monday came and after gym, Baby Bunny and I headed to the same place again. And come to think of it I am not a TGIF fan at all. CL joined us and I think we really need to buy 4D cos I think this is the first time I ever seen him in gym… Or maybe second? So another sinful meal of fiery calamaris, BBQ chicken served with mashed tomato and broccoli and lastly the double brownie topped with ice cream. Not forgetting my bottomless ice lemon tea. Slurrrpppppppp…. Of course, we all shared. But that dessert alone already killed my effort. What the heck?
So what else did I do apart from losing and adding calories?
I make a date with Talladega Nights and Rob B Hood. Awesome movies though I prefer the latter better. Its HILARRIOUS and comedies are definitely the best for one’s mind. Plus, I am already in my second season of Sex And The City and believe me, that’s a progress.
Even better, I finally finished reading “Everyone Worth Knowing” by Lauren Weisberger – the same author for Devil Wears Prada. I feel connected to the book especially since I had my share of PR experience for a good 3 years. But I certainly didn’t get paid to party all night long. We PR people are always so misunderstood.
And being a social butterfly, I had obligations to attend to. Met up with MY, GM, ST and KC at a coffee place drinking my new found Tazo Ice Shaken Tea (taste like lemonade but better) after a dinner which I was not sure why I was needed to attend.
Anyway, nothing beats sleeping till late. Not even a facial and spa massage / milk bath. And I’m so serious. Somehow I waited too long for the pampering, and when the time came, I was just not excited anymore. Plus, the facial was the most painful one I ever had. Why can’t I just be blessed with good skin and be spared the torture?
In a nutshell, I gym, ate, watch movies, read, sleep, pamper and social as planned. Now I need a break from my break.

Muruku and Ketupat Season
1) Go gym - already pay ma.. my as well make full use of it
2) Watch movies - not exactly economical but need to catch up on my shows
3) Watch SATC - Dvds to keep me company and its free
4) Catch up with friends - lagi not economical unless we sit in Chillis for bottomless Ice Lemon Tea. Then again, mamak still more affordable. No need to dress up some more.
5) Spa and facials - also paid already ma. Must go.
6) Read - at least to finish the book that im reading now la
7) Sleep - i think this is the BEST one. hmmmm....
Anyway, wishing everyone a Happy Deepavali and Hari Raya holiday...

Fetish Kills
OMG...
It's hard when you know that person. You met him. You shook his hand. You hangout with him. At least once. You heard about him all the time in conversations. And now, he happened to have some secrets under his sleeve. Really, maybe I am shallow minded. Maybe we are all. It was shocking. No doubt about that. Maybe we should not pass judgement based on what he did. Yes, its his life. Just stupid to have people found out. But I feel sorry for his family. He should have thought about the consequences. Maybe he was not thinking.
Somehow, I no longer can look at him the way I used to. Or the way I knew him. It's different. But i wish the best for him. Hopefully he realises his mistakes. And repent. Before it is too late.

STOOPID JAM
So gave up and decided to make my way home instead especially since the jam aggravated my migraine. Plus, got to reschedule my appointment with MNG. Sorry la. But thank you for understanding yeah.
Phew... Thank goodness Mom had some leftover dinner for me. I was starving like mad. Noodle soup never tasted so good. I cleaned up the whole pot for her. Haha... And the remaining mooncakes are just too hard to resist.
See what no-gym makes you do?
EAT MORE!

Anyone for more culture shock???

Photographer For A Day
Thank goodness Baby Bunny was nice enough to look for me for lunch. Muacks Muacks to you… hahaha… You saved me from my boredom.
Even the BEAR from Open Season came to say helloThe Mule deer also dropped by
Hahaha.. how can you possibly be bored.....
My 5 mins of Fame… Or Shame??
So being the good sport, I gave in.
Phew. Thank goodness it was my favourite track.
Being up on stage gives a whole new perspective. First, I need to make sure I don’t fall off the small stage. Second, it’s nice to see everyone down below following your steps. Third, I have to place my stance in the opposite directions. :S And lastly, I feel my sweat dripping over the guy at the bottom. Poor guy…
Somehow I should not be pissed at CC. Cos I did have some fun. Even if it means making a fool out of myself. I mean how often do you get your 5 mins of fame? Or in this case, maybe shame? Members will probably remember me as the gal who sucked in combat. Or not!
At least I smell good up there. Cos Baby Bunny and I applied hair conditioner before class. Putting our theory into practice and see whether doing that will help soften the hair. Hmm… still early to say. But I think the strong smell attracted Mr Smily Number 2 (who also happened to be one of the innocent member) to smile at us throughout the class. But then again, maybe it was our loud laugh and voice that attracted him…
Hahaha…
And welcome Dream Weaver to FF Combat and Step. Let’s do again next week k.
And Step was awesome. Trying to get the hang on the new tracks seeing that I have not tried it since the new release. It’s been while since I went to Step actually. It’s tough and pressuring especially when you are the target of failure… hahaha… somehow Teoh knows I am always blur when it comes to his class. And moreover, it’s new tracks. And I love the new tracks. It has some combat element in it.
Hmmm… give me some time. I’m sure I will master it soon enough. Just wait.

Amazing Day
It was a great time to catch up really. Though we just had plain sizzling noodle. Mom was updating me with her drama stories and I was telling her about my dinner with ex-bosses yesterday. Plus, we did some grocery shopping like we always do before I got AJ. Ever since I had AJ, we hardly shop in Giant together anymore. And I do miss those days. (AJ is my car for those who are still wondering what or who AJ is - tats the prob when you dont read blogs from the beginning)
Well, time was running fast. Dropped Mom back to the office and headed to the station. Turned out meeting was delayed. Drats… should have known better. Wonder when will be the next time I ever have the opportunity to lunch with Mom again? Unless of course, I am posted to the station.
Never!!!!

Crowd is Back
During the 3rd or 4th track, Baby Bunny pointed at Mr Smily who happened to walk into class. Flashback. Mr Smily was the one who we bumped into at Combat 2 weeks back… and he really has a nice smile. Always smiling.
Imagine like a crazy teenager who has just saw her idol, I gave her the “Yeah, that’s him” look. Haha… cant help it. He does have good looks. Good looks until it distracted Baby Bunny and I from following the moves. Hahahaha… Young boy though, I told Baby Bunny.
And I still hate push-ups. They are the worst. Still love the new tracks but I will get bored of it very soon.
Pump, as usual, was next. Alone again with no one to talk to. Sad sad sad… I so don’t want to go gym alone. It’s not exciting anymore. Especially Pump!! Thank goodness I still have Baby Bunny for Combat. :D

Movie Weekend
Monster House
I guess I expected a lot from Steven Spielberg. Not saying that the animation was boring but it was not something I enjoyed. Maybe bcos I was watching from a DVD, maybe I have no surround sound that will scare the shit out of me, maybe cos I was watching alone, or maybe I was busy reading Everyone Worth Knowing at the same time. I don’t know.
You, Me & Dupree
Three is certainly a crowd. And when you have Dupree in the house, you cant help but to love this fella. Irritating yeah. But I will give him an A+ for whipping up a delicious meal and being such a love-sick loyal dude… minus the butter of course. Plus since I am such a big fan of Kate Hudson, I will never miss her shows. I watched Raising Helen 5 times and I am still not bored of it. A recommended comedy for those who likes to laugh their brains out though I still find CLICK the funniest comedy so far.
More to come.....
Happy Belated Mooncake Festival
My bad for not calling to tell them I was coming home early. But my feelings tell me that they must have gone to Aunt’s place and should be back anytime soon.
And I was right.
And so, we did manage to eat mooncakes together after all. Though Mom did hinted that all must return home reunion dinner for the festival next year.
Totally agree. :D

Importance of Dressing Up
But it was really an experience to be in the Minister's office. And yes, now I know I must be prepared at all time. Especially when it comes to what I wear to work... You dont want to walk into the office to have eyes glaring at you. :P
New Release in Gym
Anyway, went for 1/2 of BodyStep class after that. Not too bad either. But my tummy was growling so much that I decided to call it a day before I faint. And in my hurry to meet the boys for supper, I forgot to stamp my parking ticket. Ended up paying RM5. Stupid me!!! And as punctual as I always am, I ended up being the first there. Grrrrrrr......
Cant wait for my next class. Lets hope the PA system buck up by then. Otherwise, it will be such a disappointing week in gym.

Bos Dari Neraka
Watching Devil Wears Prada just reminds you that not all bosses are that nice. You are lucky when you find one. In my case, I found 3 ladies. But I think bosses are still human. They may come across mean or make life hell for you – but deep down inside them, there could be some goodness. Reading Devil Wears Prada was a bit different though. Miranda Priestley was all inhumane.
And if you think all women bosses are hard to work with, that’s not true. I had a so-called boss during my internship days who will give me hell and who I will gladly sue if he continues to torture me emotionally. I could claim being under duress if I have known better at that time. But guess the lesser problems I give, the faster and easier I can get out of the company. Anyway, I don’t consider him a boss then. I consider him a jerk. Still is a jerk. I think. I hope I do not need to bum into him ever again.
So watch or read Devil Wears Prada. Reading is more hillarious though. :D
Love... Perhaps
Well, some of the guys were not bad looking, But, it was not the guys which irritated me. It was more of the technical and production bit. The lightings were horrible. The show is so dark all the time. Even the cutest guy look like he has spread butter on his face. The storyline was boring and choppy. Half the time I have the urge to flip the channel but under certain circumstances, I cant. Plus, the audio was so bad that I can’t even hear what the guys were trying to say. And there were no subtitles. :S And I don’t even want to start commenting about the host.
I should just start making my Thursday plans instead of sitting home being tortured by a low budget crap.

Bitchy Mood
I can be quite a bitch especially when I come home, exhausted and can’t find a nice spot right in front of my house. Okies. Maybe the car is a visitor. But after much waiting, I grew impatient. I needed my beauty sleep. So, after some bell ringing searching for the owner and many negative answers, I decided to leave a note on the windshield of the Waja – informing the person never to occupy my little space again. Seriously, how else can you deal with such situation? I can totally understand if there is a function but if you are a visitor, can you at least park near the person you are visiting so it’s easier for the house owner to find you.
At the stroke of midnight, we heard the car ignition being switched on. Hmmm… looks like I was not the only one who was being unreasonable. My neighbour’s car parked so near the Waja (and of course mine on the other end) that he was literally trapped in between. Talk about difficulty in moving out your car. And because he was very apologetic about the whole thing, I did feel a bit of guilt leaving him the sarcasm note. Too late.
Most of us have issues with our neighbours snapping our parking space, sweeping leaves to our home or perhaps renovating the house at some god-forsaken hours. So we were told to live in harmony and deal with the situation in a civilized manner. But, how do you even start asking them without coming across as offensive? Cos I don’t wan to start making enemies here.
Oh wells…. maybe we can start saving rotten eggs now.

Gym Affair
People who know me came to accept that I talk a lot… Sometimes too much. So I was happily catching up Baby Bunny (who prefers to be known as that compared to CA) in gym class - talking about how right my theory about Puasa month - … Until…
“xxxx, Stop Talking” said CC in yesterday’s Combat.
Immediately, I turned to the front, ashamed and kept quiet like a 15-year-old who has just been caught playing truant. Taken aback? A bit. I should have just given him the ugly stare and continue talking. What worst could happen? Me sent out to detention? Or in this case out of class?? Hahaha…But then again, when you have so many people in the gym, you don’t want to attract that unwanted attention.
How can you stop someone from talking? It’s not fair. Anyway, Combat was great. Was sweating more than usual. That shows that I am putting my effort now. New release will be out next week and I am sure to find it more difficult to follow the steps. Damn!!
And as usual, Pump was next. This time, I had TT and Lady Di as class partners. AW could not make it again.
A quick summary: Lady Di is back in FF now yippeeeeeeeee……… after a whole drama of being a member with TF and not getting what you have been promised. Glad to have you back in FF with us anyway.
Something kiasu about me every Monday is to stand next to the bars so I can easily grab them after Combat. Anyway, I was really working on my biceps yesterday and I can feel the pain after the track. And have I mentioned that one of the instructor look a bit comical? He kind off remind me of a cartoon character. Maybe like a chipmunk. A cute chipmunk maybe. Maybe if they animate his face, he might be able to make big bucks. Hehe…
By the time the class ended, I was already exhausted. Caught up with Lady Di before heading home to have a pear and a good night sleep. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Weekend with Sex… and The City
Samantha said in SATC, “Married women find singles a threat. If you are still single, you are not to be trusted,” And not forgetting that you will also get the “Poor single you looks”
Are singles really a threat??
That I will find out when I am 30… and if I am still single. Hopefully I am not…
Mid-20s Crisis
KW said, “Well, you have put on about 20% since high school.”
Porky Queen pouted.
KW said, “But, you got to understand that you were very thin back then. And I mean really thin. You were swimming in your pinafore literally. But I share your sentiments. But I will go for my body check-up in the next 5 years,”
Well yes, I am not the only one who are conscious since then. Many people I know have! And it just happens to be a way of life. Back in those days, we can only afford RM1 nasi lemak or mihun goreng. Now… we have the luxury to eat pasta with seafood with added cream sauce and to be pampered with a tiramisu dessert thereafter. So how not to put on weight and increases the risk of getting high cholesterol or diabetes???
And you think weight and health are only my concern? Demands go longer as we aged. So not forgetting our definitely must-have facials, mask and eye cream so that we keep our skin from dehydration. And you think that’s enough? What about gym, spas, massages, pedicures, manicures and hair dye to cover all the white strands resulting from stress and too much thinking? And what about clothes? With so many brands, styles, colours to choose from. Some may say that it’s a luxury to have all of the above. By choice we choose to paint our nails. By choice we choose to go for monthly exorbitant facials. By choice we choose to look good. By choice we choose to smell pleasant. But why not??? We deserved the pampering after a long hard day at work.
But seriously, another mid-20s crisis is to answer when asked why I’m not in a serious relationship. “You think I don’t want ar? No suitable one ma”. I agree that maybe it’s a good time to look for my other half right now. But then again, I’m reluctant to. I rather let things happen. When seeing my friends with their other halves, I can’t help but feel a pinch of jealousy in me. I yearn for the same treatment and love too but I also know I am not entirely ready. Some say I am picky. But how can you not be? The person is someone you are planning to walk the aisle and spend your rest of your life with. I can’t just simply pick someone off the street for the sake being in one. So picky I shall still be…
Something struck me over the weekend. I have plans and things that I want to do now. An opportunity... Perhaps!
Perhaps not!
Who knows???
A Queen got to do what she has to do.
Especially before she reaches her big THREE ZERO.
Pimped Emcee
Flashback…
MsL: Will you be coming for the Sports Meet?
Porky Queen: (Though I would rather go gym and burn all my fats) Yeah... must show support to the company ma.
MsL: Good. In that case, you shall be our emcee k.
Porky Queen: WHAT??? Why me? Ask DL or someone else la..
MsL: We feel you can ma…..
Porky Queen: Er.. okok… btw, do I get paid?
A moment of silence……
I guess not. Cheaper than cheap labour!!! (Though I did get a souvenir for my hard work)
So with pressure, I meant pleasure, I had to do what I do best. Talk all night with another fellow emcee. Maybe, I should consider being a part-time emcee. Then I can start charging people. Maybe… I may be the country’s top host one day.. Muahahahaha…
Too early for dreams right now but can u stop a girl for having aspiration?

Gym Bunny
AW couldnt make it to Pump and I was too reluctant to go home. So proceed to Pump alone after Combat in hopes to burn all the calories accummulated. Class was quite boring cos I dont know anyone whom I can talk to in class in between the tracks. And I hate having to keep quiet. :S Maybe I should make some new friends in class. Muahahahaaha.. But DC and partner were entertaining. It was not tat bad. I just hate lunges and squats and push up and ..... hmm.. i hate everything that causes pain. But for great legs and arms, I will endure...... and do without complain. :P
Drats...my next gym session wont happen until Saturday. What a long wait. Think I will have accummulated more calories again by then. Double Drats....

25 Already
So yes, I turned 25 last Saturday. Thank you Mom for throwing a house BBQ party for me. Muacks Muacks. I also had to thank the over 70 people who turned up to celebrate with me - Families, primary friends, secondary friends, college friends, Uni mates, colleagues, ex-colleagues dan lain lain…..
So with the help of my magnificent and detailed map, some got to my crib easily. Of course, the rate of people who got lost was quite high especially since they
1) Didn't print the map
2) Didn't follow instructions on the map
3) Prefer verbal explanation than reading maps
So half the time - as predicted - I was on the phone dictating to people how to get to my place. And that's not the end of it. One guest (ET) even had a security guard to escort her to my house. What drama. I actually thought the security guard was gonna give us some warning for making the neighbourhood smoky. Phew… False alarm.
Anyway, some pics from the event can be found at http://anniehor81.multiply.com/ (have probs uploading here le)
Not many pics of food cos the appointed photographer (ML) was busy eating than "working". Tsk Tsk Tsk but allow me to share what was served – fried rice, fried mihun, mixed vegetables, almond vege salad, fruit salad with cheese & olives, potato salad, chai kuey, almond jelly and not forgetting the meat area – lamb, chicken, sausages and beef.
In summary,
- Thanks to WL, EY and my happening uncle for taking charge of the BBQ area and sweating buckets at the pit . You guys are the best!
- Thanks to SY for making the lovely potato salad. Told u it will be a hit. It was snapped up as soon as it arrived.
- Thanks to JL and EY for the wonderful salad and preparing the lamb and beef . They were awesome!!
- Sorry to those who I did not spend enough time with! I know u will understand!!
- And of course thanks to all who gave me my pressies and angpows. Love them to bits!!
- Those who could not make it last minute, I still love you guys. Love you even more when you pass me my presents :D Like CL here…thanks for bringing me my present w/o the "s". Im still waiting patiently k for the rest…
And yes, I shall take some of your advice to have a bigger pit and cute waiter/waitress to serve food for future parties. And not forgetting hot chicks :P
The Queen's friends are definitely wiser and more demanding now.. just like the Queen herself but I had a great time :D thanks to all of you.
