Things I learnt in the past 48 hours :

  • Reminder not to count the chickens before they’re hatched
  • Beef has taken over pork in my life
  • Mutton soup tastes AWESOME with a dash of Dewar’s. Honest!
  • Beer is still yucky…can’t ever get used to it
  • Fitness fanatics can be reeeally fun folks outside of the gym. Amused that some are pretty darn good at sucking face. LOL.
  • The Tg Bungah floating mosque Malay food is DEE best on the entire island
  • An old, geeky schoolmate turned out to be quite a hottie!
  • Men will always be men, no matter how high they’ve climbed in the corporate ladder
  • It’s not about the looks, but always about the attitude that spells S-E-X-I-N-E-S-S

The next 48 hrs is gonna be filled with even more mind-blowing stuff, life-altering even. With much excitement and anticipation, I await.

Yet another ‘Time flies!’ moment. Sigh. Really. WHY does it have to zoom by at such breakneck speed? Why can’t it slow down a little? Har???

.
Another 365 days have passed since I wrote this.

.
No thx to Friendster’s tight quota, I can no longer share pictures in my posts. So, will have to point you to a link and hopefully, you can view it even tho you are not in her friends’ list.

.
This has got to be my MOST fav pic of her thus far. Such poise. Such cheekiness. Such sexiness. Such joy. Yesss, that’s the wonderful, sexy, crazy QM.

.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOT WOMAN!!!

. 
Sorry I can’t be there to hug you in person or to join in the celebration this weekend but know that I am there with you in your heart. Drink LOTS and party HARD on my behalf, okayz? *muax*

Zealand Seafood Dinner

“We should come here for dinner one day, baby. Remember my friend I told you about? The chef and owner of this place? The food’s pretty good and my family makes it an annual tradition to eat here a few times a year. I wanna share the good food here with you.”
- Sweetheart’s words to me a few weeks ago.

.
So that was how we ended up at Zealand Seafood Restaurant on a Sunday evening having the belated birthday dinner for our beloved Emily.

.
Pictures taken that night can be viewed here.

.
“Darn, we forgot to get a birthday cake!” - I whispered to Sweetheart halfway thru dinner.
“No need. I duwan birthday cake” - B’day gal sitting next to me whispered back.

.
Eavesdropper! :P
.
Oh well. We still had fun minus the birthday cake. The food was stupendously yummy. Price was decent too. Total bill inclusive of food and drinks (many, many repeat orders of food AND drinks!) came up to RM203 for 7 of us. Rather reasonable pricing, we reckoned.

.
Titbits on Zealand Restaurant :
Facing the sea at Gurney Drive. Right next to Corner Club which is adjacent to Evergreen Laurel Hotel. It’s opened during the day to serve BKT (Bah Kut Teh). Never tried the BKT before. So dunno if it’s any good. At night, it’s only opened for ‘chu-char’.

.
Just before we left the restaurant, Sweetheart went to his buddy to thank him for the really good food and also to introduce me formally to the dude. I must say I was mighty pleased with his handshake. Spoke volumes to me.

.
“What’s a handshake gotta do with anything?”, you must be wondering. Well, I’ve always been aware of how folks extend their handshake.

.
Firm shake - firm hands, firm personality, good first impression.
Lame shake - lame hands, lame personality, bad first impression.

.
Get it? Well, it’s a personal opinion…so you don’t have to agree with me. :P

Happy Birthday, Ah Mun!

Weird how I wrote this post about how time creeps up on us and today, I am reminded of it again.

.
This time last year, I wrote about this.
A very special girl, she is. A heart of gold, she has. A world full of friends who love her heaps, she has. Wherever she goes or whatever she does, she simply oozes energy and appeal. Yes, that is our beloved EMILY WONG YEE MUN.

.
Today, she did it again. Went into hiding on her special day which makes it impossible for us to embarrass her at the office with a LOUD birthday song! Hmpf…never mind. We will have our chance. This Sunday for seafood dinner, remember? Hehe…you can’t run away from us, y’know… :D

.
Here’s a song dedicated to you. One of my favourite birthday songs of all time. Enjoy your day today and let’s have a blast this Sunday, ya!

.
*Lotsa hugz & muax*

.
P/S - HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all of you, my beloved friends and readers! If you are not easily offended, turn up your speakers and click here. Boo!

FQ

Friends make my world go round. Some are so dear that they are almost family. Similarly for most people, my friends are categorised according to the way we interact, the way we relate to each other and most essentially, the way our minds and hearts connect.

.
Of coz there are many different levels and categories for the folks who touch our lives but for simplicity sake, let’s just call out the 2 main categories :

  1. Friends
  2. Acquaintances

I won’t go into details of explaining how these 2 categories work. I think you know very well how they are differentiated, ya?

.
What I will go into is the category in-between those two, what I call my “FQ” - ‘Frenquaintance’. They are the ones who :

  • Only contact you when they need some advice/favor/tips/etc…
  • Sometimes make you feel that your friendship is one-sided
  • Can’t be completely honest with you because ‘duwan to hurt your feelings mah’
  • Have looks in their eyes that send out different messages to the ones verbalised to you
  • Laugh at you with others behind your back (but feel slightly guilty abt it)

The thing is, these folks are closer to me in my heart than just my acquiantances but yet, they have shown/proven themselves to be less than friends.

.
Of late, I realised a lot of my friends are actually my FQs. I have gone through a roller-coaster ride of emotions when I put together all their actions (or inaction) and words (or silence) in my mind.

.
With a heavy heart, I wondered about how I should place them in my Life. Should I just stop initiating contact with them (most of the time, it’s one-sided anyways)?  Or should I just shut them out of my heart completely to avoid getting hurt further?

.
No, I will NOT allow you folks to hurt me anymore. If my offering of a sincere friendship is not appreciated, there really is no point offering it in the first place, is there?

.
Definitely not.
