Hot tea...



Besides being a coffee addict, I am also a tea lover (yeah... I know.. I contradict myself.. :) ).

I just love a hot cup of tea over a plate of crispy, yummy pisang goreng (banana fritters). Even a cup of teh o'panas with few pieces of creme crackers will turn me on. Very ummpphh.. i tell you...

Nowadays, I will always opt for hot cup of Tazo Passion Tea whenever we hang out at Starbucks after midnight. Coffee will only make me extra-hyper at nite, hence, it has been forbidden from my midnight menu.




Whenever I am sick, a hot cup of lemon tea will do the trick, especially when I have a sore throat. That was what I have been consuming over the past few days - hot lemon tea (I've been having the flu).

A scene during lunch @ The Loaf, Pavillion:

4 diners were busy chatting during a business lunch when the waiter approached their table with their drinks...

Waiter: Excuse me, apple juice?
Guy 1: Here (pointing to his side of the table)
Waiter: Watermelon?
Lady 1: Here!
Waiter: Iced Lemon Tea, cold?
Guy 2: Here...
Waiter: Iced Lemon Tea, hot?
Me: Ermmm... you mean hot lemon tea?
Waiter: No... Iced Lemon Tea, HOT...
Me: If it's iced, how can it be hot then?
Waiter: Uh... yeah... hehehe.. Sorry...
Waiter: So, Iced Lemon Tea, hot? you?
Me: *hits forehead* Yes... yes... ICED Lemon Tea, HOT here....

*Dr M needs to sent the workers for training lar.... hehehe...

That incident reminds me of the old lawaks...

So whatelse is new?




1. I've finally bought myself a new PDA phone (after talking bout it for YEARS now) end of last year. Got my hands on the HTC Touch and I am loving it!!! I know how everyone is eying for the iPhone, but I really don't give a hoot bout it. And the purchase was just in time as now I am fully utilising it to manage my busy schedule.




2. One of my best friend had left for the States last week. It was really sad when we first heard the news that her husband had finally got his overseas assignment that he had always dreamed of coz that means that she'll be away for the next 3 to 5 years or so. Even though it's sad to see her go, I know that the distance won't matter. Plus, I made her promise to come back in time for the wedding, or else..... hehehe... (I miss ya, babe!)


3. We are moving house again! Yeah, AGAIN! This time, we have bought a house just 2 rows behind this house that we are currently renting. Finally we can take out the stuffs that we have stored for the past years out of the box. However, I foresee a lot of major remodeling to be done to the house before we can finally call it home.


4. I am currently into the digital scrapbooking craze. I stumbled upon it while I was figuring out the design for the Starbucks tumbler cover for Nai's farewell gift. And now I am hooked! You can get free scrapbook kits at ShabbyPrincess.com


(this may seem corny to you... but she loved it!)


5. Heath Ledger is dead!



So, what's new with you?

Mari bermain teka-teki


J and H is getting hitched.

J's parents told J to get a house and start fresh with H. H's parents, on the other hand, wants J and H to stay with them, as it is considered as a 'family tradition'.

J wants to find a place close to J's parents' house, D. However, H wants to find a place close to H's parents' house, L.

They both work at the opposite end of the city. Currently, J and H both travels 15km to get to their workplace. If J were to move and stay at L, J will have to face the monstrous morning traffic to get to work. And if H were to move and stay at D, H will have to go through 3 tolls to get to work.



Help them solve this puzzle please......

2008 - the new beginning...



5 days have past and I haven't updated the blog... gosh!

- New year celebration

We celebrated new year at the park behind my house, where we watched the fireworks from One Utama, The Curve, KLCC and Dataran Merdeka over a tub of haagen dazs each (i like...). Nuthing fancy... Just perfect.


- New job

I'm back in my old turf as of the 2nd of Jan. It is going to be a challenging year for me as the new job is an entirely new playing field that demands an extensive knowledge of the industry. I really have a lot to catch up within the next few weeks, with all the mega projects going on at the same time. Just hope that I will have time to organize my personal life in the midst of all the hecticness.


- House hunting

We are currently looking for a place to call home. If you ask me, I will definitely prefer to stay close to my family. Plus, I just can't tear myself away from this area, where everything is just 5 minutes away. However, we have to compromise and try to find a place that will be somewhere in between our workplace. Susah nya la nak carik rumah... For one, properties are expensive nowadays! I can't imagine paying RM450,000 for a 2-storey terrace house. That's just too expensive. However, if nak murah, then we have to look for a house jauh-jauh. OH TIDAK!!!

Am planning to check out an apartment later in the afternoon. I fell in love with the place when I was browsing through iproperty.com.my. Hope that it will be 'THE' place so that we can stop house hunting for now and start to furnish the place bit by bit. Will update soon.


- Everything else

Wedding preparation is going on smoothly. So far, the only glitch was the 'D' factor. It is so hard to orgnize a wedding when your parents are divorced. You have to try and jaga hati semua orang so that no one will terasa. However, alhamdulillah the problem is settled (I hope!). Now it is time to concentrate on the bigger picture. The dress, the kain, the hantaran. I still have 6 months to plan it all out. Any advice?
