weird New York shopping list

I will have a weird shopping list later, upon the "discovery" of a couple of things

• - the "taxi" driver dressed much better than me. And yes, we blew 80USD taking a ride in a Town Car, just like Andrea (because the rich kid thought that the taxi queue, 50 m away was BLOODY FAR). Just like Andrea, that is not exactly that FUN, or COOL, after a few moments of Uhhh "Town Car, Just like AAAA-dreah". It is miserable knowing that it is a hole up few days. I need to buy CLOTHES & SHOES & BAG!!!
  
• -I dress horribly badly. Horribly badly that I suspect that people do not take me seriously. I am just in a cheap T-shirt and equally cheap jeans. Haha.... Buy JEANS
  
• - I need to buy nail varnish! My nails chipped while I was typing!! Grrrrr....... Manicure is NOT for me! But I got to fix it. NYkers are nail crazy. Even the bell boy had better nails than me !!! get NAIL VARNISH & VARNISH REMOVER - get cheapo ones dont think can take back flammables!
  
• -I need to buy a teeth whitener & tooth paste. SHessshhhh. should have done it last week. The drug stores are full of teeth whitener. Why the hell does everyone have perfect white pearlies here? FAKE!!! Bloody hotels here dont provide you with tooth paste, when everyone is so MO and teeth conscious. Instead they make a bomb selling it at the "souvenir shop" - full of things which should have been provided, but are not!
  
• - Need to buy new blusher/"radiance" powder. My Estee Lauder thing was shattered in transit. :( .................. but then.............:) perfect excuse to buy the Benefit ones!!! hehehehe
• I must buy the posh looking "Hint Mint" haha...
• The cosmetics for my colleague- allocation: 1 kg
• The cosmetics for myself: 1kg
  

Taxi aka limousine chauffeur told me that his wife look in Manhattan but buy in NJ, cause the tax is a diffrence of more than 10%. WOW!!> Hot tip. I will look in 5th Avenue, but buy it 5 minutes away across the river. hehehehe..............

OK.... back to my dreadful analysis.

My room has a "Manhattan view"- would have been perfect if it is not so foggy!


I think I am not thinking/writing coherently. Lack of sleep. Jet lagged. Slept only 4 hours, for the 4th day???

tired. tired- Snored in my yoga class!!!!

I have been having diarrhoea for a few days, when I barely recovered from the "Amsterdam cold".
All 3 of us came back sick.

I am dead tired, and dead busy. What a bad time to be tired!

Yesterday I did something which is hehehe.... very typically me, when I am tired.

After work, I went to shop for groceries and refilled the petrol-left the petrol cap of the car on the roof, and drove off. Hubby saw me coming back happily with my groceries and me proudly telling him I pumped petrol.

However, my "milestone" moment quickly turned to embarrassment.

Hubby: You got put the cap back or not? I bet you didnt?

Me: Har? cap? What cap? Shit!!!! I heard a thud when i drove off!!!

He is right this time, I did not cap it back :(

So, we rushed back to the petrol station, only to find out that the cap had been run over and turned into pieces. SIgh. So we got a temporary one. Hubby is now busy hunting for a replacement on ebay. :(

I am tired. Damn tired. Today, I snored in my yoga class!!!!
I fell asleep when they did the meditation section at the end of teh class. Darn . Luckily I gave up my childhood ambition. Dont think I can pass being a nun!

Da Xiao Ren software and dart boards

For those stressful days when you get poked/jabbed at the back : Da Xiao Ren!

I dont believe in these things but I don't mind having someone's photo and whack it with clogs/pin on a dart board. Maybe I should do it when I go back.

I think it will be a good business idea to make dart boards with photos of GB's on them...

hmmm floor mats are not bad too. Insoles? Sole of shoes? hehehe.. plaster a photos there?

Ops, revealing my nutty, evil side.

The Sam Soon in me...

As I walked down my flat with two bagful of clothes to the laundrette, and depressed with those thoughts about my flat, and how helpless I am because I am in a foreign country with not many friends, I saw the door latch of the entrance to our block unlocked. Angry me decided to confront woman who just came in to tell her off-almost Kim Sam Soon style (the fattiness, and the awkward bags!). I cant believe I really did it!

Everytime I come home at this time of the day, the door is unlocked! Could she please remember to close it properly? She just need to give it a push, and it would lock. Otherwise, everyone could just come in. This building is occupied mostly by women and young children. We just need to so something that is very simple, and everyone would be much safer! A woman is just robbed and murdered 50 metres away from us! We got to spare a thought for everyone's safety!

She apologised, and told me that she saw me coming down, and therefore did not latch it. She was very happy that there is another person watching out for the door. Her flat was burglared last month, and that is why she wrote the notice and stick to the door to remind people to close it! And if the insurance company found that the main door of the block of flat is unlocked, she would not even get any compensation. All our home protection insurance would be void because of this. However, some idiots still dont give a damn!! We ended up having a very friendly chat, and made a pact to really catch all those idiots who dont lock the door to lock it! We are going to watch out for them, and remind them that it is important to give the door that gentle push!

Yeah, we talked about the poor woman who was killed. She knew her. Apparently everyone in this area knows her. She is a very nice, kind lady, the owner of a popular takeaway business.

When I walked past the murdered woman's house to the laundrette, my heart sank. This row of houses look so peaceful, facing busy road. I was very happy when I saw there were 2 other women, and a BIG DOG at the laundrette. I felt safe.

The women were friendly. One of them work for the laundrette. She would close the shop, and she comes in at 6 everyday. Seeing no other worker or owner, I asked her if there is someone else at all in the laundrette. Apparently not. At other times, it is empty!!

Gosh, I said. Then I am glad you are here, and your lovely dog. A woman was just murdered nearby. Scary.

Ohhhhh. they started talking. We all know her. Lovely lady. Apparently, she had been watched, followed from the bus-stop perhaps. That is why these days it feels very uncomfortable whenever a dodgy man walk past. They told me how uncomfortable they were when another man was there.

A man came off a car, and walked pass.... Jasper the dog was all ears. We, the three women in the laundrette, were all eyes. Eying the man approaching carefully, and let off a quiet sigh when he walked next door.

Thank goodness for Jasper's presence. We all felt safer. I just got to pat Jasper. He is really adorable.

More talk on the murder. They reassured me that it is the FIRST murder here. This is a lovely friendly peaceful place. The fact that the 4 suspects were bailed and roaming freely in the community again, makes everyone very uncomfortable. Human rights gone mad.

When a few guys walked pass, the woman locked the door. We all laughed. More conversation about the senseless beatings, these youth gangs.

Robberies take away more than our property. The take away the sense of trust in the community.

FREE: Leering at bikini clad women

Free show, free show!!!

Hahaha... suddenly think that I should transit and visit DUBAI!!!!

Dubai Swats Pests Ogling Beach Beauties

"Swats pests"???
That is a really demeaning??? way of describing our fellow homosapiens! My brother is going to tell you all about equality and respect for human kind, and you will get a huge dose of his growing sarcasm, and really scathing, no give face entry in his blog.

But I bet to differ. I would support these swats!!!
1) I am a woman
2) I have been on the receiving end of this LEERING aka STARING treatment from these pests.
3) I am no great beauty-->shows that they are just .....
4) I wasn't in a bikini---> so what are they looking at???

If I had a fly swatter (is that the correct term? Cant think. Too dead tired now), I would have swat them with a BIG "plat........". These men are really really annoying, and they show NO respect at all to women. The moment they get a chance they will grab your bums or breasts. Desperate beasts. Don't know what is in them that is different from other men, from other parts of the world. They are the reason i stopped going to new year parties. Ban them!!

Can you imagine that you go to a beach, and it is crowded by groups of men like that?? And if it is in Dubai, you are probably a sun seeker who FLEW all the way from UK or US? And after looking at glossy magazines of sun and sea.. you arrive to see... people are there to LEER at you in your bikini?

"— they flood the beaches every weekend to leer at women, photograph them and occasionally try to grope them in the water."

No, I am not going to Dubai to wear a bikini. I am going there to cheer when a pest is swat-ted!

A reward

Today I rewarded my self with two things
1) a facial
2) an ice cream

I have never fell asleep during facials/massages before. The insecurity of lying naked or semi-naked in front of a stranger will not allow me to let my guard down and snooze. What if she decide to whip out her latest 3.2 Megapixel camera phone and snap away? Worse still, camera phones are no longer camera phones. They promise "DVD" quality video recording. .... I wont want to be a Yo*T*be star ....

Today, I dozed off.... somewhere during the EXTRACTION!!!

I was semi awake when I got my shoulder massage... and then.. I doze off again.

Well... I snored.

I SNORED!!!!!!! in that "treatment" room! Heck, I can hear the sounds from next door if a chair was moved.. I snored. that prof thinks that I should check Yo*T*be now. I might be a star already.

Latest headline" Latest Yo*T*be craze:
"Video of a snoring-over-weighted- woman; taken during her facial, when someone was squeezing her pimples... Net citizens are debating whether it is possible, it cant be real. The ladies say extraction= pain!!! How can one fall asleep???"

The other possible outcome is me replacing miss *d* Choi as the spokeswoman of this "spa". Videos of me snoring away shows how skillful the facialist is.. and all the stressed out aunties/career women/ kept woman professional wives** will turn to this spa to relax.

Well, my first reward turn out to be a potential embrassment I got to watch out for.. sigh....

Ok. The second one is simple. I walked pass Anderson's of Denmark.. and I thought! Heck! I have been postponing it for ages...I am going to get a year older soon, and I should have tasted that!

There i go, shelling out $4 for a scoop of RUM and RAISIN ice-cream!!! I was soooo happily eating it, I even took a photo of it. I was happily licking it... up and down... while walking up and down the mall.......

:D

.....



.....but when I told the prof my exploit, she almost fainted... but quickly recovered to analysed it calmly, logically.. from different angles.

"Someone might have taken your photo, worse still, video! You can check Yo* T*be now!"

Then it occurs to me......... Shit!!

That would have been a video that mummies (living, nagging ones) would approve of.

Just show that video to your kids and tell them "Look, see-lah. She like (mummies dun say like-s) eat ice-cream. Enjoy!Enjoy!. See now? How fat!??? Fat fat already. No more ice-cream ok, unless you want to be fat fat".

Sigh............


.........sigh...........



who is the fella who put a camera in a phone????

... sigh.......



But on an optimistic note, I might clinch a deal to be the spokes person for Anderson of Denmark. Spa X might also think that I am more effective that *d* Choi.

Then I will get free ice-cream, and free-slimming, and free facial!!

So... did anyone sent my video to YOU TUBE???

** it is not easy being a kept woman. Have you been reading the JUICY important gossips news?? Moral of the story is dont work bekept for an "intelligent" man. I am sure you will need to de-stress if you do.

signs of x-treme stress

Feeling like singing
Turning off MSN, handphone, stop checking mail
Urticaria coming out
Dont even feel like going out at all- even if you give me freemeal
Blogging-when I am not supposed to!!!





p/s..........and grammar getting all mixed up!!!

I smell of Laksa

Perhaps the thought of going back to London, and braving through the winter EATING TOES again, I am in the mood to devour all things spicy.

I thought that super yummy nasi briyani which gave me 2 full days of diarrhoea should put me off curry for a while, but NO!

There i was, happily ordering Laksa, which is more like noodles.

Yummy, but fatty.

So I tried my best to SQUEEZEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee out the last bits of oil from that XXL taupok. I was really successful with the first taupok. Squeezed out all the oil, and eaten it up happily.

The second Taupok, decided to rebel.

When really really pressed hard against the spoon by my chopstik, it flipped, fly, and landed on my chest.

Now, everyone notices my assets. I am wearing pink blouse. And the stain is obvious. Even if you are blind, you will notice me. I smell of LAKSA!!!!

That Taupok, survived. It was not eaten.

And now.. i got to postpone my OTO purchase!!!!

laughing out loud...Mc dull

I laughed until tears came out...
