Of Evil Tea Bag

Friday, June 15, 2007
The Princess' face was cut by falling tea bag today.

And she didn't even realise until someone pointed out to her face is bleeding. Die, will leave scar or not?

Bugger it.

Of Book Of Life

Thursday, June 14, 2007
We used to share the same chapters of our lives. Some were filled with pleasant memories and wonderful times. Some with poignant moments and turbulent rides. Some are filled with fierce passion and fervour . Some with painful heartache and antagonism. Nevertheless, it was a good story.

Today, you start a new chapter in your life. Fresh, blank pages for yours to fill. Imagine the possibilities!

May it be littered with many happy stories and blessed events. May it be filled with soaring tales of courageous achievement and gallant adventures. May it be bound with well-wishes and blessings from loved ones.

Today, I start a new chapter in my life too. Fresh, blank pages for mine to fill. Imagine the possibilities!

May it be littered with many happy stories and blessed events. May it be filled with soaring tales of courageous achievement and gallant adventures. May it be bound with well-wishes and blessings from loved ones. But, above all, may it be intertwined with your story as you have become a too-important person to be left out in my story.

And one day, when we peered open our ever growing books and delved into those chapters, we could look back and say "Damn, that was a good one!"

Of Her Long-Eared Friends

Tuesday, June 12, 2007
As if not enough Happy Bunnies are being put to good use, now we're trying to compete for carrots with 'em bunnies. The Princess thought the PM has gone eco-friendly when she saw this headline in The Star:

PM: Use carrot instead of stick

Haiyo, The Star, can use more dis ambiguous headlines next time? Imagine if she good citizens were to heed the PM's call and throw away those bunnies?

Of Murphy's Laws

Sunday, June 10, 2007
After much legwork, effort and stress, The Princess still couldn't make it. It's a case of the classic Murphy's Laws - anything that could go wrong, went wrong today.

Happy getting hitched, dear cousin. *wry smile*

Karma is a bitch.

Moving on to happier stuff, come let's all laugh at them loudly.





It was taken in Dotonbori in a cold spring night. The tang chi guy was actually jumping with cold. Digi Yellowman looks like a giant yellow rubber condom. Japanese is a weird bunch, I tell you.

Of Headless Cockroach

Saturday, June 09, 2007
The Princess has been running around like a headless cockroach today. All just because she has to go back to KL due to an important matter that needs her urgent attention.

More running around later of the day because she needs to pick up the exit permit (yes, she's like a bloody inmate #1234 in prison) before rushing to the airport to catch the flight.

Yeah, so she's going home. Happy lar!

Of Fickle-Minded Itchy Feet Princess

Thursday, June 07, 2007
You know what, maybe for the coming leave, The Princess is not going to do Czech Republic or Portugal after all.






She has been doing research lately and the more she gathered, the more she wanted to go to the Balkans. Probably visit Croatia first and take a bus from Dubrovnik to Mostar and then to Sarajevo in BiH (yes, the country where the infamous Bosnian war took place from 1992 to 1995).

But she will be travelling alone, and God willing, "let's come back in one piece" (her all-time favourite last words in briefing room).

Now let her brainwash Ken Lee into joining her.

Of Bitter Queens Of The Sky

Tuesday, June 05, 2007
I hate the person I'm turning into.

Seriously.

So bitchy, so impatient and so bitter. Like the whole damn world owes me something. Say or do something wrong and I'll snap just like that.

By the way, The Princess was smoking in the toilet when Ken Lee entered like it's a normal thing to do. She was eating the Leibniz biscuit The Princess just bought. In the toilet. With ciggie smoke all over. In the toilet. With ciggie smoke all over. Did she mention the toilet?

She's so weird that's why they clicked so well. Both alpha female living under the same roof. Both also complaint queen. Bitchy complaint queen. Do not be fooled by her sweet look. She's anything but sweet, while The Princess has lost count the number of times someone comes running to her telling her she looks fierce/cold/unapproachable/fill in the blank with synonym of your choice.





On a lighter note, see the bruise on The Princess' leg? That's the peril of flying. Kena hit by bloody meal carts lar, bang into legs of passengers who conveniently extend their legs across the aisle lar or kena scratched by all kind of protruding surfaces.

By the way, both of them are crazy over Dewa's cover of I Want To Break Free. Go download, play it when you feel like smashing your laptop but can't afford to do so.

Of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

Sunday, June 03, 2007
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in The Sandpit. So happy to find a Malaysia/Singapore brand in The Sandpit.

What more, talked to the branch manager who's a bloke from Kota Bharu. As usual, he's complaining about how boring The Sandpit is. Happy to have you in the club, dude.

But then hor, the latte is a bit tasteless lor. Be more generous with the espresso lar. But then again the milk in The Sandpit is more watery, so start importing Magnolia milk from Malaysia.

TV is spoilt, DVD player is gone, wireless modem couldn't run so she and Ken Lee need to take turns to come online - life is pretty sucky at the moment.

They went to Carrefour just now and bought supplies to last a world war. Had to clean so many pieces of chicken as Ken Lee dare not clean it, too icky she said. In return she helped to clean the prawns. See, they are co-existing in mutualism just fine.

Oh my god, they're turning into boring housewives!

Of Moving House

Friday, June 01, 2007
Mama Tju texted when The Princess was in London to inform her they have moved to the new house.

Gee, thanks for informing.

The first thing in her reply was to ask Mama Tju to make sure her pet iguana is kept away from direct sunlight as he could not regulate his body temperature.








P/S Did you know iguana has three eyes and two penises?

Now ain't he adorable?
