The Weekend Getaway

We finally managed to take time off from our busy schedule to go for a short trip to Bukit Tinggi.

Yeah... Of all the places in Malaysia, we chose Bukit Tinggi... Why?
1) We thought it would be cold there
2) We wanted a quiet place to relax and escape from the Genting crowd
3) Hotels in Cameron Highlands are charging ridiculously expensive rate due to the holiday season
4) We just wanted to check out what is so great about Bukit Tinggi

So... We went... We saw... and we vowed never to return...

Why?
1) The temp was not as cold as we thought.. (Mr Judge cakap dekat Hulu Langat lagi sejuk)
2) The hotel room was so rundown and we think it was not worth paying the amount that we had paid.. Memang rip-off habis ok...
3) The hotel service was bad...
a) We had to wait until 3 p.m. to get our room! (We arrived close to noon)
b) We were sent on a scavenger hunt just to locate the Spa for our massage session (Lain kali specify laa betul-betul2)

Anyway, we managed to have a good rest during the trip (since it rained most of the time...). Nasib baik the massage session was good.. Kalau tak, mesti hangin satu badan.. :)


On Tuesday, we decided to check-out the most talk about Japanese restaurant in town - Tenji Japanese Buffet @ Solaris Mont. Kiara.

The food spread is really good that even the non-japanese-food-eater me had a jolly time munching on all the delicious seafood!

See the pics and you'll know what I mean....



Plus, check out the pics from other blogs that I've found... here.

For the japanese food lovers, I recommend you to go now.. They are having a promotion of:
RM49.90+ for lunch (regular price RM77) that starts from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m..
RM88 for dinner and weekends

RM50 bucks for lots and lots of crabs, soft shell crabs, shrimps, lamb, oysters, steamed fish, sashimi, unagi, sushi, udon, tempura, etc..., free-flow of sweet cocunut juice and delicious Häagen-Dazs!! I think it's worth it!

But make sure u make a reservation ahead to secure seats!


I am looking forward to the next holiday... This time it will be a spring cleaning weekend! I wonder if Bibik can help me out this weekend... hehehe...




binx: Belated Gong Xi Fa Chai to everyone!

I hate this part right here....

Mr. Judge is working the night shift again. I bumped into him at the lift on the ground floor this morning just enough to give him a peck and passed him the bag of garbage for him to throw.

I felt so bad that we didn't even managed to have a proper conversation this morning... so I rushed out off the office just as the clock struck 5 p.m..

Luckily the traffic was still smooth sailing and I managed to reach our apartment in under 30 minutes.

I was still smiling as I unlocked the grill and the door and was picturing the surprise look on Mr Judge's face when he sees me back so early.

However, I came home to an empty apartment....

He had to leave early today for a meeting.

Serves me right for not calling ahead....

:(





binx: i'm off to mom's for dinner...

The most apt song for now....

I was having lunch with 2 colleagues the other day when one of them shared with us this story....

Colleague 1: You know what my 3 year old daughter sang the other day?
Me: What?
Colleague 1: Row... row... row your boat
Colleague 1: Gently down the stream
Colleague 1: Fucky... fucky... fucky... fucky...
Colleague 1: Life is just fucky...
Me & Colleague 2: Muahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahaha..........

(Apparently she got it from watching the Donald Duck's version of the song... and no, Donald Duck didn't say fucky.. I don't think so lar kan)

And the song just stuck to me until today...

Whenever I am stuck doing a stupid task @ work, I now have a new mantra to chant... thanks to lil' Qis... :)




binx: cute sangat....

I miss...

... our small apartment


... our cozy bed


... our kitchen


... our toilet


... our flat screen LCD TV


... our privacy



and what I REALLY REALLY miss is my time with you.




I wanna go home!





binx: i miss my family too! :(

A sneeky copycat

I used to monitor my blog's traffic diligently. Every single day, I will click on the statistics tracker to check on the latest report.

I used to be curious on who reads my blog.

That was when I had all the time in the world to enjoy surfing the internet. I no longer have that luxury any more.

Now, I will be lucky even to be able to update the blog regularly. Well, at least when I do, I know that what I write is genuine and came straight from the heart!


I was shocked to find out that someone had mentioned this blog in one of her controversial post last week (thanks for the heads up, babe!).

Well, someone had copied one of my blog post (almost word for word, including the stupid spelling error that I've made - yea.. my english sucks, I know) and call it her own.

Seriously!

click on the image to read

Apparently that was not her first time plagiarising other people's blog post to be posted as her own. From what I've read, she even copied a blog post about other people's pregnancy experience to describe her own experience during her pregnancy. How crazy is that?

I guess she just sits in front of the PC on a daily basis and think of a topic to write for the day...

... hmmm.. what should I write about today? ... aahh... I went to the spa yesterday.. why don't I write about that... ... let's google the spa... ... aahh... here's a blog post on the very same spa...! ... ctrl+c .......ctrl+v ... update ... ok i'm done!

I strongly suggest for the blogger to just stop blogging if she carries on plagiarising other people's writing. Seriously.... It's just wrong.... She wouldn't want to end up like the actress-turned-writer who has created a massive controversy when she plagiarised a great author's poem last year (I think it was last year). Siap masuk Melodi tuh...!


Get a life!



To Piah Zadora: Thanks for the news... But, how in the world did you manage to track the plagiarism? Wa salute sama lu...





binx: how to disable right-click?

What a crazy-interesting year it has been...

It's already the last day of the year and I have piles and piles of outstanding tasks to complete. Can't I just clean up my in-tray (shred all the documents) and start fresh come the new year?

I wish I could!


2008 has been a very challenging yet interesting year for me.


This year, I...

... have upgraded myself, career wise, and have learned the ropes on how to become a successful corporate player.

... took the plunge and became "Mrs. Judge".

... have managed to rekindled my relationship with Dad only to realise that it was never meant to be.

... learned the true value of friendship.

... learned not to depend on others to get things done.

... was forced to grow up...


Next year, I...

... hope to progress well in my career - to be able to do the things I love to do.

... hope to be able to find a suitable house to call home.

... hope to be a better person - better daughter, better wife, better sister, better friend.


Thank you to all of you that have been involved, either directly or indirectly, in making my 2008 a memorable one. Let's hope 2009 will hold many more great adventure for us all!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Cheers!







binx: hope to blog more in 2009!

People just love to speculate...

Scene 1

As I was driving back home from work, I received a call from my cousin...

Cousin: You know what?
Me: What?
Cousin: I had a dream last nite...
Me: What was the dream about?
Cousin: I dreamt that you were pregnant!
Me: What?!!! How come I was in your dream?
Cousin: I don't know... I was actually thinking of myself getting pregnant before I went to sleep and tup tup muka you yang turned up in my dream... Enter frame betul!
Me: Hah!
Cousin: That's why I called.. So ARE YOU PREGNANT?
Me: I don't think so...
Cousin: Nevermind.. Let's just wait till the end of the month.. I really have a feeling that my dream will come true real soon....
Me: Riteeeee......


Scene 2

I was walking towards the photocopier machine and a colleague stopped me on the way and felt my tummy...

Colleague: Binx, are you pregnant?
Me: Huh? Where got!
Colleague: This looks like a bump....
Me: No larr.. that's just my perut buncit larr..
Colleague: Are you sure...?
Me: VERY sure...


Scene 3

I just love to eat assam and now I have bottles of assam on my workstation all the time. However, little did I know that my bottle of assam had raised some speculation about me...

Tea Lady: Awak ada asam atas meja ye?
Me: Ha ah laa kak.. Memang suka..
Tea Lady: Haa awak tau tak, the Legal Manager tuh pagi-pagi duk hendap meja awak..
Tea Lady: Dia siap panggil akak tadi cakap.. "Haa kak.. dah start makan assam dah budak nieh.. mesti dah berisi..."
Me: Ya Allah... like that osso can ah?


Scene 4

I was explaining to my boss about the current task at hand when I noticed that she was not actually listening to me and instead was actually looking at me with a funny expression on her face...

Me: What are you looking at?
Boss: Binx, are you alright?
Me: Yes, I'm fine thank you. Why did you asked?
Boss: Are you sure you are alright?
Me: Yes.. I feel fine... *confuse*
Boss: Are you pregnant?
Me: No! Why did you ask?
Boss: No... You look pregnant...! And I think you ARE pregnant!
Me: I don't think so..
Boss: Are you late?
Me: Well... yeah... but I don't think I'm pregnant...
Boss: You better check... *grinning happily*
Me: eerrm... okay....





So I was 'late' for almost 10 days.

Everyone thought that I WAS pregnant.

However, no.... I AM not pregnant.

I was LATE!





binx: stress stress.....
