Another bomb (financial one)

Saturday plan was to go to Quetzal's place, then I want to get another portable hard drive, plus search for the printer (so that Dad can stop nagging about not having one to print out his things...)

Woke up, went to fry the croquettes I made. Yesterday didnt fry cos many not in at home, and the gnocchi was enough. So I fried the first 2. Oil kinda hot so the crust a bit more crispy and darker. The other 4, the oil not hot enough, came up soft. The last 4 looked just right. Man, even frying requires skill...

I ate 2 and then headed out. Think didnt manage to get out still alot of pepper. Remember I spilt half the bottle inside and scooped out most of it. The croquette tasted kinda peppery (no wonders) but the onion bits inside makes it more tasty than just plain potatoes. Dunno though, but after eating two, I didnt feel up to for anymore fried food.

Met up with Tab for lunch at Ding Tai Fung. First time there. The pork given is nice but the noodle is not as tasty. The Xiao Long Bao Crab one tasted better with the vinegar instead of just plain original flavour, cos of the natural smell of crab meat.

After lunch, hopped over to Quetzal's place to visit the kittens and play Wii. Guitar Hero is a nice game. Its mainly rock songs, though there are different genres of rock too. Some more headbanging, some with cool rifts, some with irritating rifts... Tab and I were holding up the Guitar after we completed the stage. We ROCKZ! Then we played Wii bowling, boxing, and Yoga. Had a good laugh and a good time. The boxing is really really tiring. Cant really balance as well in those yoga games.

Also stroked Bossa and Nova alot. The kittens are so active and playful. Taunt them with the red ribbon and they are all over it. Nova is getting bigger than Bossa, within the space of a week?

Later went to Challenger. I ended up buying the printer, extra ink, portable hard drive (another brand from my first one) and a 8Gb card for Aoi cos found out from the sales lady, that PSP lite can only support up to 8Gb. The next 16Gb is only for the new PSP 3000? which is not on the market yet. My Aoi is less than 1 year old (it'll be 1 soon near end Dec) I dont have plans to change it cos its still good. Its just meant, I should just go ahead and buy it so I can load more games into it. So I have just transferred some Music and Video files to my original 4Gb one, and Games into the 8Gb one.

(While I was halfway typing, my bro went to switch off the whole electricity supply for the tv, video, internet modem and cable... Had to restart it, and reconnect)

Tomorrow which is already here, I will be fixing up the rest of the stuff. Setup printer, tidy room, settle the 2 hard disc - transfer data around to both, organize the files too and transfer more files to both the memory sticks of the PSP. Man, why do alot of my tasks involving some sort of tidying. Very sian of tidying already. Tidied up my table, my workplace already almost everyday since last week. Sian. Be going off soon once the dl is done.

Potatoe Gnocchi & Potatoe Croquette

The picture from the Recipe book, Potatoe Gnocchi. Looks simple enough that I decided to give it a try today. I headed out to the supermarket and bought the stuff. Headed back again to buy cos I forgot about the cheese.



Potatoe croquette, another seemly easy dish. Which I tried to do at the same time cos I had seriously underestimated the line "boil potatoe, mash".

Bloody hell it took forever to boil the potatoe, mash them, then prepare the rest of the ingredients. Hell, even mashing many many potatoes was an huge endeavour. At least up til the point before I started mashing, things went pretty smoothly.

THEN mashing was so totally different from what I had imagined. It took damn long and lots of effort. Finally mashed and then the trouble starts....

Accidentally poured half the bottle of pepper inside... OMG! Then scooped out and threw most of the pepper. Mixed in egg, flour and pepper. Scooped that into a container (even finding the container was a pain in the ass) and added in chopped onion and then chucked the thing to cool in the fridge. That was only for the croquette...

Then resumed mashing the rest of the potatoes, added egg and flour and knead the mixture. It was still soft and bit watery. Bo bian, the kitchen weighing scale was unavailable (dunno where the hell it is) so I went by gut feel for the flour. Grated in cheese. Then divide the dough (which is still mainly potatoe) into 4 parts. Then subdivide into more little balls to roll into an oval and use a fork on it to create the grooves.



These little buggers are a real pain in the ass to make too. But I am proud that it looks edible. Its been a long while since I've last tried cooking something.



With those buggers done, then its time to the main cooking part. Had to boil salted water to 'cook' the gnocchis in. Then I cooked the garlic, onion and carrot, stir fry them before pouring in the can of diced tomatoes. Added half a can of water and let it boil. Later after tasting, added pepper.



Divided the gnocchi into 6 bowls for family. Scooped the warm tomatoe soup with the bits over it and viola. My own version of the gnocchi. Its not like the pic cos I didnt blend the soup until its smooth. I just cooked it and poured over.

The taste? Edible. Could taste the cheese in the potatoe. Its okay to eat while its hot and the soup with the little bits to bite makes it better.

I would give myself a 6/10 for this dish.



For the remaining 10 gnocchi, I had an idea. To toast it in the oven cos its mainly potatoe and some cheese, a bit of egg and flour.



Viola, baked gnocchi. They taste like their soupy cousin. But more drier in tasture. Hmm maybe a 5/10. Given I do have high culinary standards for myself.

With that I looked at the croquette recipe and OMG, I still had to roll the croquette mixture in flour, then egg then breadcrumb. Its a messy process, with lots of flour, egg and breadcrumb sticking to my fingertips as I transfered one to another...



The final product. Notice that its round and flat patty instead of the long sticks in the recipe? Thats right! Cos the mixture was too watery and I didnt want to add flour to dry it. I had to put them into the fridge for another 2hours before I can fry them....

Dead tired by then due to the numerous trial and errors with dish sizes, mixing bowl sizes, I cleaned up the kitchen before my mom came back. Including washing dishes, utensils, pots and pans, wiping table.

PHEW!
2 seemingly easy dishes took me 4hours! And I havent even fry the damn croquette yet. Its still cooling in the fridge. Felt very warm and hot. Drank up 1litre of herbal tea and mixed a Brown Cow for myself. I served some of the gnocchi to my dad, he says its edible.

Then I went to play the guitar, wanted to bathe and sleep but got lesson later. My mom came back and I have to sweep the floor soon. Then maybe fry the croquette then bathe then leave the home.

"Huh, shopping at those place, I dunno know if I'll be buying..."

Famous words while talking to Quetzal when she called to meet up to go shopping at the wing tai outlets cos they had this password that allows you to get 30+10% discount for one day only. I was really very chor lor looking, in my bermudas, T-shirt, carrying 2 bags cos I went to work and didnt feel like wearing jeans or 3/4 jeans either.

Anyway I headed down, and didnt see much at Top shop etc etc until Tab went and Quetzal went to try clothes in Miss Selfrige. I was waiting outside and ended up looking more closely at the jeans and the offer. 2 for $69. The more I looked at it, the more tempted I was. Not to mention that I really needed more jeans. Cos put on weight and I dun really have that many pairs. So after more than 10minutes of looking. I took 2 pairs and went to try too. Ended up buying them. With the password, it cost $54, about $26 per pair, a steal. Tab bought 2 pairs too. Quetzal bought a dress and a necklace.

Then we c0ntinued onto Raffles City. We split up, me and Tab heading to find food to munch, draw money. Candle and Quetzal continued to shop. Later we met up. Tab and I had walked around the supermarket and came out with stuff. We were reading up the recipe books being highly tempted to try making them during the holidays.

Later after dinner at Celede, nice pasta, cake and tea, we headed around once more. Inside the Raffles city Miss Selfrige, I saw more jeans. Different designs and tried 2 more and bought 2 more pairs... It just meant, I had outshopped the rest again. But about $125 for 4 pairs of jeans, meant each about $32. Still a steal, given I wear my jeans alot on weekends and holidays. Now I have more pairs to wear and rotate.

Went home on bus and was glad to have a seat all the way. Reached home, bathed and slept.

Guitaring, Stroking & Stoning

That kind of sums up what I did over the weekend.

Friday guitar class was kinda enjoyable. It brought back fond memories of C's guitar lessons during Uni days. The instructor is quite helpful, telling me about certain aspects and fingering during melody, answering my questions in a very easy to understand manner, which is great for a zombifed-after-work-mode which I will be in.

I somewhat can 'correct' certain wrong techniques accumulated along the way. Its kinda relaxed for the moment cos I have done those parts before, eg chord changing, playing bits of melody and plucking, so can pick up faster. My classmates face the inital challenge of the painful fingers, chord changing speed etc etc.
______________________________________

Saturday was spent sleeping. Was feeling very very stoned in the morning, played guitar until fingers ache then managed to sleep in the afternoon then headed to Suntec with Tab for the Anime fest. Its kinda empty in the sense of the booth displays. Luckily there are cosplayers who spice up the event. After that we headed to Ichiban boshi. Later met Quetzal for dinner at my Humble Home. Next time will try to eat dinner there instead. They only start around 6.30pm and I was hungry before then.

Quetzal came with this kitten problem. She had agreed to bring one of the two kittens found int the Esplanade home. So after dinner, all 3 of us had to baby-sit a box with 2 kittens inside. They were kinda scared and kept hissing (first time, I heard cats hissing) Then I fashioned a string like toy from my 2 rubber bands and a ribbon-like deco piece from my perfume. So used that to 'stroke' the kittens in the box. We sat along the river, being near enough to hear the outdoor performance. The kittens seem to calm down after a while, partly the stroking? partly the music, so they were aptly named Bossa and Nova.

Bossa is a black tiger-striped tabby cat. Its kinda fierce. It kept hissing. But it became quite docile after it was stroked by the make-shift stroker. Nova is a ginger cat that is more timid and didnt like the stroking. But its a more active kitten. It slept, walked about, stretched and even groomed itself while in the box. Bossa just laid in the corner. Then after more than an hour, we brought Nova out of the box. Its very easy to reassure with the stroking of its fur and its kinda curious. Kept walking over to try to escape over my thighs which were blocking its way. Quetzal and Tab were taking photos of it. It responded quite well to Quetzal's friends who came along later too.

Shortly after they came, Quetzal brought out Bossa. At first, it seemed calm enough but maybe cos didnt manage to stroke it a bit to calm it cos there were 2 kittens in the open, quite a handful. Suddenly it freaked. It tried to jump and dash off the seat and landed straight in my vest. My vest acted as a net and it got caught. It let out a mournful miao and we brought it back into the box where it calmed down. Guess it may like the darkness of the box, its more reassuring to a young kitten when its scared. So human.

After that we washed our hands from so much stroking of the cat and I used soap to wash a few scratches from both Bossa (its panic episode) and Nova (its curiousity which I ended up being its claw pillow...) But they are shallow so its okay. Then Quetzal and her friends settled upon ownership of the kittens, Bossa being kinda unpopular and Nova being both cuter, active and friendly. Its kinda sad for Bossa. It seemed to be a nice kitten except maybe it opens up slower than Nova. Both seem to take a bit to me, maybe cos I was the one stroking them for close to 2 hours... they better be... BUT I cant keep them cos my parents dont approve. Also my place is kinda small and cramped. If I live alone, maybe I will consider raising 2 kittens and my Shetland Sheepdog.

Sunday was spent stoning also. Woke up with the intention to go to the gym but was hungry so it got shelved. Ate then went online to try this game Gaiaonline, a game I was given a banner to during the Anime fest. Later I wanted to head to the nearby shopping mall but first I practiced my guitar a bit more with my sore fingers, then next thing I knew, I had fallen asleep. Woke up near 7pm and after dinner, headed to the mall, then now back online. The day is almost over. Feel slightly more rested after so much sleeping over the weekends. Think batteries still kinda flat at the moment.

Finally the HOLs are here

Its been a hectic week, everyday meeting from morning til near evening, much like doing double session of work except that alot of it is listening to endless crapping. Listen until very very stoned, then have to discuss stuffs which also force you to think hard and that made me even more 'zombified' by the end of the day.

Imagine going for Jap class in that type of state, though going for Guitar was easier cos its music and not so much of words, at least for the first lesson yesterday.

Then been going out for the past three consecutive nights after work. Due in part to the lessons above, which meant, I travelled straight there, had my lesson, then later ate dinner and then stone a bit and then head home via bus cos its direct. By the time reached home, its always near 12am and then just knock out until wake up around 7am the next day for the same cycle.

BUT finally the HOLs are here! A well-deserved, hard-earned break that meant finally having time to recharge the flat batteries and turn back into a human again, without having work at the back of the mind.

Still feeling kinda stoned cos woke up around 8am+ due to the light in the room and later flipped around in bed, heard my Dad's loud voice, forget about sleeping. Got up to search for the Chinese songs learnt yesterday for the guitar lessons. Just now, helped to carry heavy stuff downstairs cos wanted to give to Salvation army. Had been tidying up my table outside and workplace table for the past week too.

Now I still have the Mamoliath task of cleaning my room or aka my bro's ex-room aka another storeroom. Looking at it, it reminds me of the Myth of Hercules and his 13 trials. The trial of cleaning the stables... I shall just eventually morph into Hercules and do it.

That cycle again...

The last time I remembered, fresh, wide-eyed and looking for employment, it was one of the worst recessions. Partly the reason, why I landed up as an Educator.

Now when my bond is nearing its end and I am reconsidering my options, the recession comes again. One of the new worst in history. Making choices so much harder to make... given that most people are not born with a silver spoon.

No wonder, the Guanyin temple qian said, timing is not right. Oh well, at least my relocation has been finalized and maybe can start afresh, in a new environment, so that I wont be bored in the same routine for the next 1-2years. Then reconsider after the Connect? Though that is still not-so-near in the future.

For now, I am just counting down a few more days to the weekend and finally the holidays. Dont intend to travel anywhere. Partly cos nowhere in mind, partly to save up cos 2 thailand trips this year cost me, also have JLPT test in early december, partly not to travel to neighbouring countries that are getting unstable and thereby worry my worrysome Mom whose health is in danger cos of her constant worrying.

Plan to do up some ppt, word doc templates that I can use for work, go to the gym more regularly, wake up earlier, sleep earlier and also catch up on other aspects like guitar playing, stock price tracking and monitoring, reading up those books, tidy up my room and so on, so forth. Quite a formidable task, the tidying up of the room.

Lagi LOOOOONNNG day

Its been a lagi long day.

Woke up 5.50am, left 6.35am, went in at morning session timing, worked until the end of the afternoon session timing.

By the time I detoured to get a bubble tea to drink and dabaoed dinner for family, and waited damn long for the bus, I reached home near 7.45pm.

Lagi sian and tired though its only the 2nd day of the week and there's still more to endure. Both days tio gastric cos couldnt find the time and appetite to eat breakfast until 8am, by then, tio liao. Then lunch is a hurried affair before work resumes... crap

But still I walked next door after dinner to de-stress a bit and check out comic rental and buy soda water to mix with the Sherry, which is TOOOO sweet for my liking. Maybe I should just drink one before I sleep.

Nothing much else happening. What can happen when almost all the waking hours are used up for work? Where is the work-life balance?

SHO YUE MEE!!!!

Hurray to finding the spring onion flavour in NTUC. I end up buying 6 packets at one go. And my family (dad, sis and I) just finished a pack already! (my mom and sis in msia) Its like $1.45 per pack. Its not as smooth as potato chips but its very nice to chew and that's addictive. Better ration those packs and not much through all at one go.

Booooos for my waistline with these type of snacking.

_____________________________

Feeling the effects of shaggness from the busy and hectic weekend. This week is lagi worse in terms of work. After a rather long day, I just dozed off around 7pm while watching my Thundercats, still at Season 1, got another Season 2 thereafter. Just been such a long day that I couldnt keep my eyes open. The warmth of the comforter while curling under it after bathing is just too relaxing. Cant wait for this week to be over. At least, wont have to have lessons, report book admin and even finding stuff to occupy students.

______________________________

Have to run some errands today after work. Besides buying Toto and 4D like usual (still not a millionaire... bubu), settle Poems trade amount via ESP, updating of bank books and also packing dinner for Family cos my mom went back to msia. Rather hectic.

Msia ringgit is low now at RM$2.375 per SGD. Its a good rate to exchange some. Yar I already changed back that RM$350, I spent the last time. Should go for a msia day or short trip but only on days that wont clash with Jap or my upcoming Guitar class. Be going in soon in another 2 weeks time to settle banking biz with my dad cos still owed him ringgit for shares he bought on my behalf. Yar think I'll go and change more, when salary is in.

The internet is for porn. Porn, porn, porn.

"You save more in the LONG-RUN when you buy in bulk NOW."

An interesting line that underlines consumerism and runaway spending. I should get those words on a nice shirt.

Avenue Q was good. Bought the soundtrack for it.

"The internet is for PORN" is a catchy song :P
_______________________________

Friday was okay. Not into Rock & Roll but more of ROCK songs. Later the music got better. Tab and Candle having alot of fun dancing with me sandwitched in the middle (though Candle admitted, she's just the Pei Cai-side dish) I feel like a coconut tree in Hindi movies, with pple dancing around.

Irish cream + Butterscotch schnapps shooters are a blast. MUST really get my hands on the Butterscotch schnapps to mix around. With Baileys, Khalur etc etc. But having work's a slut, waking up is a bitch and ending up with a shorter weekend's a whore.

Drinking Unsugared Green Tea works, though slowly

Around Oct 9th, I started this cold turkey thing off sweet bottled drinks like Heaven & Earth green tea, H2O and other drinks that is sold at workplace. Instead I fill a litre bottle full of unsugared green tea. Been drinking that for a month now.

The good thing is I dont feel so thirsty anymore cos I have now a bigger bottle of water that can last me through the whole day. Secondly I wont be tempted to buy sweetened drinks cos I try to finish the Green tea.

So from the heaviest point I was in Bangkok that was 9kg to lose, to regain my Uni-days weight, I am down to 6kg to lose. This loss also due partly to stomach acting up due to gastric or just lack of appetite on weekdays, though I try to force myself to eat regularly.

NOW just need to control my weekend binges then can sustain the weight loss. Hope to see a slimer self soon by the end of this year.

Coke with Milk is a Laxative?

Maybe it's not a laxative but it seriously produces lots of gas... But then I end up running to the loo...

In my 5.25 years of Jap class, there are 2 times I ever mixed both either subconsciously or accidentally.

The first time, I bought 2 drinks, one milk-based, drank and finished. Shortly I drank a Coke. Some time into the lesson, had to rush out to the loo. That was about 2 to 3 years back.

Today I repeated the same mistake again. Unconsciously. I was feeling the pangs of gastric by the time I reached IP, so I headed to a convenience stall to buy a pack of milk and took several sips.

Then decided, too hungry and gastric getting quite bad, dun think can last until after lesson was over. So headed to BK and ordered the meal, with a Diet Coke. Ate the food then drank the Coke. Later I reminded myself not to drink the unfinished milk too fast, had to wait for some time first.

So much later into the 2nd half of the class then I sipped the milk. After a while, my stomach was rumbling. Oh No! But think cos I separated the two and didnt drink them one after the other, I was kinda okay until I reached home. No diarrhoea or what but lots of sounds... (TMI => too much information)

If you ever need to re-create some diarrhoe-effect cos you wanna skip certain unwanted functions, do try.

Man, I need to check my email more often

Chances are once one starts working, checking email is a chore.

Cos at work, got to check and read so many emails. Keep checking that until one reaches home. The LAST thing to do when you're online is to check the personal email.

Hence I've told friends, the fastest and surest way to reach me is through sms or call. Even then, I do have many many missed calls cos I dont carry my hp during my work hours especially lesson times. Cos a hassle to put it in pocket and even if it rang, wont be able to entertain both the class and the caller at the same time. SMS is the best. I can read it later and reply.

Anyway just an indication of how dusty my personal email is, just before Krynnder's wedding, I log in cos Quetzal smsed me regarding her being sick and she had emailed me the emcee script. Thereafter the big day, I didnt go in at all. Completely missing out the rest of the emails, links to the video, emails regarding the Halloween party etc etc. At least up until a few days back when I suddenly visited the mail cos I had to activate my Poems account and had to send them an email. Err... *hides in the sand*..... Then I saw the rest of the emails.
_________________________________

I remember a time maybe around Jul/Aug period where I had a lot of sms rants regarding work. It was a daily downer. Every single day I had to drag myself and perk myself up on the long, tiring journey to work. In recent months, maybe was too busy and hectic with the exam revision, exam itself, marking and then admin work to be able to dwell on things. Just yesterday, it came back with a vengence.

Maybe cos the year is almost over and cant wait for the final weeks of lessons to finish. Not that the Educators hate the students so much, but it would mean that ALL the ADMIN work needed to churn out the REPORT books would finally come to an end. And its not even just keying in exam marks and printing. There's a whole lotta admin work that its mind-boggling to the Outsiders. One cannot even imagine the sheer amount of work and hours involved. Never underestimate this horrible process. Just hanging in there.
_________________________________

For two nights in a row, I arrived home, horribly hungry, starving. Ate a big bowl of rice, still feel hunger. Had to control myself somewhat. Yesterday bought Chinese rojak and Fruit rojak to munch. Today I munched a bit on that Mamee-japanese snack after dinner.

Brand Name: Sho Yue Mee. Managed to find 2 flavours in Sg. Actually its very very addictive. Way more than salsa with nachos. Once you start munching, you really cant stop... In less than 1 day, my 2 packs were finished by my sister. I opened both to try but the flavours Chilli and Original were not as good as the Spring onion one. This morning, I woke up and the Original pack was finished. Then before 8pm, the Chilli one was gone, though I helped to eat quite a bit of it after dinner. If you find other flavours, do tell me.
_________________________________

My guitar lessons would commence on the 21st Nov, a friday. They had called me up again to mention that the instructor had rearranged (think is postpone or slow down) so I had to join them one week later than the initial time given. No probs with that. Few free fridays left or I can join after 9pm on fridays.
_________________________________

Hmm stock market is recovering a bit. Prices are going up. Now is again time to wait. See if can off load the pricey ones I had bought to get back capital and if goes higher, get profits? Keeping fingers crossed.

Sian on the 4D-front, my bdae came out as 2nd prize and I didnt buy! Instead I had bought my guitar membership and just needed one digit more... BUBU!

Pia-ing dvd is NOT a good idea

Yar.

Besides the gluttony that arises when one sits for hours on the bed, watching dvd, its also kinda stressful on the body. Eyes feel tired, like staring at the tv screen is not tiring.

Also its a bad idea when you have to wake up much earlier than usual to go to work cos work dabaoed over the weekend wasnt done. Admin work piling up that I just had to go off much earlier.

My sister had a headache from watching too much Hellgirl. She's helping out to QC it. Hehe hope Tab wont mind. My mom and sister kinda curious about it and end up watching a marathon for 26 episodes.

SO now I am feeling the after-effects of work, fatique. A bit too stoned now to watch dvd. Just want the next 2 weeks to end asap, so that dun have to handle any more lessons.

Work all duly forgotten when I reach home for the weekends

Guess this happens to all.

Had dabaoed work to do, some to mark, some for admin. But all the plans of working over the weekend were duly forgotten once I've reached home and dumped my work bags to one side.The thinking was there's still two more days, surely I could do some tomorrow on sat. How wrong that is.

On Sat, my Dad suddenly offered to drive us to Citysquare to do shopping. Couldnt do banking cos banks in msia also on 5-day week. Had owe him some ringgit that I need to transfer to him. Should be going in somewhere again near 20th Nov on a weekday to do so.

K my dad had thought that last week was a long weekend so most would have gone in by then and didnt expect any jams. Wrong. We had to jam for 1hr to go in. Cos mainly of 'ugly singaporean road behaviour', no offence but not all are singaporeans but its just a term. Many cars jumped queue and caused a jam. They got ahead at other pple's expense. Ugly.

But the shopping was good. Too good for me in fact... I had brought along RM$500, and spent $320. Now need to change more RM cos that 500 was intended to be banked in. First we ate cos by the time we arrived, we were all hungry. Then we walked through the 5 levels. Interestingly, there is a section on the 4th and 5th floor that is developed into a Youth area, much like Hereen and Cineleisure. We didnt go in for the past few visits. This time we did.

Found the stalls, quite a few and bought discs. I am now trying to pia ThunderCats. A very old cartoon that I've grown up with. Many titles. How lucky one is to live in Msia with the numerous animes. Oh well. That's RM$100 gone.

Then went to Popular bookshop and bought stuff, mainly token presents for my class. Its a reward for their teamwork and final year results. A couple of stationary items for myself, thats RM$75 liao.

Went to the BodyShop there, and pleasantly surprised to find Oceanus perfume still around. But I bought the Gardenia scent, RM$79 I asked about the continuation of the Oceanus series, they told me they only have perfume and some lotion left. No more of body lotion and it will be discountinued soon. So hurry for Oceanus lovers.

Oh yar also bought some food back. Namely the delicious Portugese Egg tart from the outlet on the 3rd floor and a half chicken set. Also bought a pack of snacks from the Popular. Its a jap snack and it is less salty and tastes a bit like Mamee. Its quickly finished by the family. Next time will buy more. So thats about Rm$40 in all.

My sister bought 2 new pairs of jeans for RM$186, about $40 per pair. Kinda cheap if you consider the prices of the same pair in sg. Its from one of those outlets like Baleno, Samuel and Keith type. Maybe I should have done the same but didnt feel like buying jeans yet.

Other sister was buying plushies for her collegues as a return gift. Some are cheaper, others are the same price as in sg.

Then we came back, but sian again, kena jammed for 50mins. Both the jams occur at the Sg end of the causeway. They kinda strict with the checking to find Mas Selamat. Dunno if he had already escaped? So after all these, we came back near 5.30pm. Didnt feel like doing work. Regaled it to Sunday. Instead went to pia Thundercats.

Sunday is another day of not-working cos didnt feel like it. Continued my marathon and kept on eating non-stop... Sian. Had lost a bit of weight, still got a long way to go but this binge-eating is going to set me back. Sian. BUT what to do? Also didnt go to gym again cos woke up hungry. Then through the afternoon, just kept eating. Feel alseep later in the evening. And then its almost dinner time. Signz. Gluttony at its worst. Just have to restrain myself over dinner. Had a bowl of rice and sadly a Brown Cow. Man, now I am just going to drink tea and fill up that bottomless hole of a stomach. Work is now again postponed to tomorrow. Try to go in much earlier than usual to do it.
