Betime Story

One night when I am unwell, I was soo sleepy. Tired. But then since its still early, I felt like its so sayang to sleep so early.'x' Hope you get what I mean. But then, I need to sleep early cos I am sick, but then feel like chatting with Oink who was surfing the net, reading football news beside me. I told Oink things at office and etc. Then I said "aiyah, you tell me story till I sleep la.."

So he began with " Once upon a time.."

" there's a bird, it caught a worm and flew back to its nest. It then feed the worm to chick no.1, then chick no.2, chick no.3, chick no.4, youngest chick..

then feed chick no.1 again, then chick no.2 again, chick no.3 again, chick no.4 again, youngest chick again.." I can see where this story is leading -.-"'

I interrupted " HOW CAN?!! how can a single worm feed so many chicks, so many time??!"

Oink replied " aiyah, the bird cut the worm to small pieces ma.."

me : O.O!! What the..

Oink : " then a boy came with 'lastik(sling shot)' and the nest is hit and all the birdie died.."

me : O.o!! "HAR...you want to give me nightmare is it?"

Oink : *chuckles* "OK OK, I change the story a bit.. The boy missed and all the birdies live happily ever after..together..~the end~ "

Then I dozed off and slept :)

Hilton High Tea

Last Saturday, we had high tea at Hilton.

Hilton is having its 21st Anniversary, and is currently having promotion for all its buffet at 21++



However, I believe most of it should have been fully booked.

Because our high tea was PACKED with people, HUNGRY people. People here and there, and the food run out fast. So we had to grab the food fast also.



This is my first plate of food. I am lazy to take any more photos of the food cos I am hungry and since there's a lot of people moving around, it won't be convenient for me to do so too.

And guess who joined us ( there's 12 of us all together)?


























Gabbie! She was napping most of the time and woke up when we are almost done chomping on food. Her chubby cheeks so cute laa..

I am sick and tired

which is true...

because I have been coughing for more than a week now. Why oh why that it seem that my sickness is getting more n more difficult to heal as I grow? I miss a lot of good food you know?

I miss eating spicy chicken wings, i miss mcd's fries, I miss ice cream, I miss nasi lemak...sighhhhhhhhhh

and the last time when I thought I am almost recovered, I went binging on all those forbidden food I cannot have when coughing. And ended up with more coughing!

I would wake up suddenly at nights, and cough like hell! And it feels difficult for me to breathe after I cough, and my tears just flowed n flowed when I cough like that. And on Wednesday night, I coughed till vomited :(

very sad la, when will I get back to normal?

Ho Chin Minh Day 3

*** WARNING: IF your name is FELICIA THEN, DON'T READ THIS POST, cos I posted up a photo of something you will be terrified off, don't say I didn't warn you..AHAHAH***

Our activity for today is mainly on Mekong river. We had a ride on one of these boats while viewing what little is left of their floating market.



Look at this, they practically live on their boat.



I started to notice there's "eyes" on the boats. Can you see it?



We then stopped somewhere along the river to this little village, where they made some local products.





















Here you can see how the rice paper is made. My tour guide is by her side explaining the process.






My guide call this "rice popcorn"..AHHAHA.

















It tasted AWESOME when I plucked some of hot ones out from the tray after they erm "stir-fry" it. Its actually just like the "bee pang" we have here back home.

























They have these bottles of snake wine lined up. And they are giving away free samples. In which I told my dad of, and "encouraged" him to go and try it out 'x'

























This is him, before drinking. Saying "cheers"


























This is after. AHHAHAA. The expression is PRICELESS.

In the itinerary, its stated that we will need to ride bicycles to our lunch place. I thought that it will be a piece of cake for me since I can ride very well. Expecting it to be mountain bikes. BOY, how I WAS WRONG! THIS IS VIETNAM! They had these black bicycles, with NON-ADJUSTABLE seats, no gear, I think they are from the war times.No photo of it, cos all the taller peoples have left, even the Caucasian teenager is taller than me! WHY OH WHY am I not taller? I should follow my mum! She left riding on a motorcycle. I was the last one cos I was looking around for a bike that I can climb up to. But they all have the same height! I then resorted to SLAPPING on the seat, hoping to make it go lower. FAILED! My dad is yelling at me, asking me to keep up or I will get lost, so guess what did I do?I jump on the bike, and ride on. We soon reach a bridge that is going upwards, and guess what? I pedaled and pedaled and JUST can't go up. So I need to jump down again, and walk over the bridge. My dad is losing his patience and yelling for me to keep up. I was last to arrive at the restaurant, I had to ride my bike onto the wall to stop 'x', the girl working in the restaurant even CHUCKLED, I bet she can ride that antique without any trouble.HMPH.


This is what they call an elephant fish.
















Some veges and herbs, I didn't touch any of the herbs. This is suppose to be wrapped together with the fish and sauce in the rice paper sheets.




my pork and vege lunch. The pork is SOOO nice. It reminded me of satay.

After lunch, we had some free time. So I just lie around on a hammock and look at the photos I took.

We were then brought by our guide further into the village.



where we would have another boat ride.
























This is Suani, and we are on the same boat. He is also sitting next to me in the tour bus. He is quite funny, for all those questions in English that I asked, he will just nod and say yes if he don't understand even though its a why or how questions. HAHAHA!


























This is our young "Gondolier". AHAHAH. Suani kept flirting with her.

It was a pleasant ride. Relaxing, where we look at the village houses by the river.

That's all. We then went back to the hotel with our bus, and most of us were so tired that we slept through the way back.

Clean Up Day

Oink and I clean & tidy the house every fortnight. And Mango doesn't like it. Why?

Because its noisy with all the loud sound made by the vacuum. She is a bit afraid of the vacuum, always running away when its near. Sometime she pretends she's cool with it. And runs away, when its 1 cm away from her. AHAHHA. My dog is funny! But I love her so.

That day when we clean up the house, I caught her in this very sad state.
























AHAHAHA! this Mango so very the cute. I guess she felt safer there, anything can just jump down to the car porch.

EMO

This whole week sleepy don't know why. Before you guess I am pregnant, I am NOT.
I am pretty sure cos now having the time of the month 'x'

its been a long time since I've last blog, cos I don't have much interesting to share. I did a lot reading lately though.

Went to pay doctor a visit this morning for my cough.

This week seem to fly pass me, and now its Friday, and I don't really feel happy.'x'

I need some happy stuff to cheer me up!

IF ONLY!!

if only I am not so eager to get home early..

if only I am more alert..

If only I was not so deeply in thought about tomorrow's plan..

if only I look to the left just before I make that turning..

my wukui won't be like this!!




















BOOOOHOOOOHOOOOO! my poor wukui!

When I turn left, I didn't notice there's a bike on my left, just a bit behind me, I turned and BAM! It hit the left side passenger door. I turned my head to the sound, and its like in slow motion, I saw the motorcyclist and his passenger fall to their left before the driver manage to balance with his left foot and hold onto his motorbike.

My first word was SH*T! Never was I in such a situation. What should I DO? My first thought was to call Oink, but I seem to froze, my eyes keep checking on the 2 motorcyclists to see if they are ok. They seem ok, but the rider was a bit angry and yelled something at me. Cars behind me honked. I am paralyzed, numb, but still manage to signal "I AM SORRY" Its a miracle that the guy didn't demand me to come down and demand for some sort of compensation. He signaled for me to go ahead. So I left, still signing "I AM SORRY" with my left hand.

I parked my car in front of the house gate and proceeded to SMS Oink, I didn't know why I didn't call. My heart was still pounding.

and its still pounding now..:(

btw, tomorrow I am going back to Belaga, to visit my grandma.

I left office happy, but now sad and shocked..booohooohooo


*update : Oink is back, and he said my damages seem to be more to the back instead of the front, and he asked me did I put on signal, I remember I did, I always do. He said should be the motorcyclist's fault, which I think back, it could be true.I was halfway into the junction liao when the motorcycle hit my wukui, and I did put on signal, he should have looked also. WTH, I still let him yell at me and I still signaled sorry...I am a bit angry now la. My poor wukui! Anyway, his motorcycle was very old liao. NO wonder he is so "kind" ask me to go without asking me to compensate what-so-ever..GRRR..angry lah! This is my first time in such a situation, never mind, next time I'll know.
