Terry Fox Run… Errr… Walk I Mean…

 
We were so smart. We drove to the Lake Gardens… and we got a parking space! *wakaka

Thank god we didn’t take the public transport coz it would be dead tiring to go home packed like a sardine in the lrt or bus. Anyway, i was damn hungry on the way there. I couldn’t wait for the free bananas and milo.

We got there just on time for the Fitness First warming up session. *woo hoo! i love aerobics! The place was so darn crowded. I think this year’s turnout was quite successful. I’m not sure whether the amount of people was more than last year’s but there were definitely alot of Malaysians compared to the year before. ( i heard that 70% of last year’s crowd was ang mohs). Way to go Malaysians!

Still looking for bananas and milo… -_-”

Fresh and hungry for the run
 

For a minute i forgot about the bananas and milo. I was busy laughing at EatAllYouCanShung coz he couldn’t do aerobics! He couldn’t coordinate his clumsy chicken legs *muahahahaha! I pity the ang moh family behind us. I was laughing like orang gile kena sawan and moving to the aerobic beat at the same time. I think they were having a hard time not bumping into me from behind.

Points and laugh at EatAllYouCanShung! … hmmm i am ugly like a witch
 

The aerobic was great fun coz everyone was a great sport, keeping up to the beat; Malaysians and non-Malaysians. Cool! Got our adrenaline pumping. But it was such an anti-climax when they put on the belly-dance-indian-dance kinda moves…

I must say, it’s such a shame that they held this event at the Lake Gardens. The path is not big enough for the massive crowd. So those who wanted to run or jog had a hard time. Some got stuck behind the many walkers. There wasn’t even enough space for kids on bicycles, roller-bladders or parents pushing their baby prams.
 

runrun
Go go go! Run run …. walk?
 

Hey, where the hell is the bananas and milo????!! Only give out mineral water the whole way??? I saw someone eating banana!!!
 

ontheway
Tired? Take the short cut instead.
 

Needless to say we walked most of journey to the finish point. *i’m old lar! But we didn’t take the short cut like many did. Instead we miraculously took the long way which i later regret. Why? Coz when the volunteers along the path were being cheerleaders cheering us to run, we didn’t want to let them down, we ran up the bloody slope! While BlurryHunniee zoomed ahead, i lasted i think not even 5 minutes resulting in difficult breathing. Thank god i didn’t have leg cramps. *sigh… i’m so auntie!

Now i really salute Terry!

The running i can do, even if i have to crawl the very last mile.

Face red like tomato after the WALK
 

I am definitely going for next year’s run if there is any. To support this wonderful and meaningful event… and to claim my banana and milo coz when we got to the milo truck, they ran out of milo! WTF!! Hey, did i mentioned we saw the great KennySia there. EatAllYouCanShung wanted to ask him a favor… to help us take our photos hahahahahah!

Another Quickie! Whoosh!!!

 
Went to get a refund for the cancelled David Copperfield show. Bloody hell, need to wait another month and waste another trip to the hq to get the cheque. Why can’t they let us get the cheque at counters at the malls?!! Grrr!!!

Terry Fox Run 2007 Tshirt was out of stock when i went to the booth at MidValley today. So disappointed man! I wanted the Tshirt so much…. *sigh. But hey, i’m not that shallow ok. I bought the 2006 Tshirt and i am going for the run tomorrow. Will be dragging EatAllYouCanShung and BlurryHunniee with me. *support support a bit ma!

I found my new love… Shar Pei! Adorable like hell. No. I haven’t bought it. But will add it into my wishlist besides all the other doggies that i want. I am going to turn my future home into a zoo! *woohoo! animal farm here i come!

I went to Purple Cane restaurant to cure my disappointment (missing out on the Terry Fox Run Tshirt) and i’m loving it! Purple Cane is absolutely heavenly. Will blog about it and tempt you guys with the sumptuous food soon :P.

I have total of 5 tags (i think) that i’ve not done. Forgive me please. I am lazy and had just joined the Procrastinators Unite for a meeting or two. Sue me!

Now i’m gonna get some shut eye so i could drag myself out of bed 7am in the friggin’ morning. Hmmm… Where’s my pyjamas????

I’d Rather Be a Shar Pei Than A Poodle

 
Since i-don’t-know-when had i associated the word ‘cute’ with poodles. It’s just one of the many cuckoo (the word ‘cuckoo’ courtesy of Andy) stuffs that pops up in my mind whenever i hear that particular word since… uhm… forever.

I am 167cm tall 55kg fat. I am a 25 year old whale of an ogress. I am not cute. Not even anything close. I don’t want to be cute. I prefer more to the likes of sophisticated, vogue, smart, feminine, classy and elegant. But alas i am not all of those so i will settle for adorable if nothing else. Anything but cute.

(Err… I might be subconsciously jealous of all the cute girls out there… coz i was never cute in my life… whatever… i don’t know)

I’d rather be this
 

goldenretriever
My old flame – Mr.Goldeneye
 

or this
 

stbernard
Forever my true love – Mr. Bernie
 

but i’d much prefer to be this
 

sharpei
My new found love… Mr.Towels
 

than this!
 

poodleban
Say no to poodle!
 

Somehow the fact that this post makes no sense at all now that i’m done is annoying me like crazy.

Malaysian Blur On Sex

 
The news on ‘Singaporeans Blur On Sex‘ is old news but i still don’t get it. I was utterly speechless when i read the news about many Singaporeans who don’t know how to ‘do it’. Ok i can kinda forgive those who are inexperience in sexual intercourse but the couple already did it like about 1,000 times and still don’t get it?! The hymen still intact??! *which black hole did you en route to???…

What’s more hilarious is that the guy is a doctor *holy crap now i know why i have a phobia going to clinics!

Thank god it’s not happening in Malaysia… Yeah right.

Before you guys laugh yourself silly at our ‘beloved’ neighbours, here’s a conversation that i roughly recalled from my college days. *i swear i didn’t made it all up k and sorry it’s a lil bit vulgar.

JoeHandFling: Ei actually which… uhm… ‘hole‘ do they… uhm… you know what…
Me: Girl, there’s only 3 ‘holes‘ lar.
SirenPipu: Yeah. One to urinate another to defecate. You think which one?
JoeHandFling: There’s 3 ‘holes‘??!! So many meh… Wow…
EatAllYouCanShung: Don’t tell me you didn’t know. You’re a girl!
JoeHandFling: No.
Me, SirenPipuEatAllYouCanShung<: -_-" . . .

.
.
.

JoeHandFling: I really don’t understand why people can get high doing oral sex…
SirenPipu: Why? Certain people like it wat.
JoeHandFling: Can get high meh? Oral only wor.
Me: Ei you know what is oral sex or not?
JoeHandFling: Of course la. I just don’t understand why if you just talk talk talk to your partner then he’ll get high…
<EatAllYouCanShung: WTF! Hahahahahahahhaha!
Me, SirenPipu: -_-”

Stop laughing. Ignorance is everywhere. We’re not any better.

Viet Passion A Bit Too Bland

 
We thought of having Vietnamese food for EatAllYouCanShung‘s birthday since it’s been so long since we had some. However, Viet Passion turned out to be quite disappointing.

Don’t get me wrong. The service was totally excellent and the restaurant has a great romantic ambience to it. What i was disappointing was the food.

I’ve always thought that the Vietnamese dishes at restaurant’s like the Little Vietnam or Vietnam Kitchen are somewhat Malaysianised. I was looking forward to something more authentic coz all along i’ve heard from numerous bloggers and friends that the foods in Hanoi *especially the beef noodle are the best.

Vietnam Tea – Hot hot tea

Lime juice >_
 

The chicken salad was bit too bland. Instead of fried, the chicken strips were steamed, thus it was not as crunchy as normal chicken salad. The gravy was uninspiring too. It lacked the aromatic sweet-salty taste of gravy from restaurants such as the Vietnam Kitchen. While eating this dish i could not help but crave for the appetizing mango salad we had at the Krua Thai! *sigh
 

chickensalad
Chicken salad way too bland
 

We ordered a bowl of beef noodle. Who the hell wouldn’t right? Vietnam is famous for this dish. But… uhm… it was a real let down. It was practically tasteless. The beef balls were way too smooth *like fish ball not like those tasty rough-textured-like beef balls.
 

beefnoodle
Beef noodle not so nice
 

The only dish that was not really too bad was the rice with claypot fish. But that too was just so-so coz once again, it tasted dull after a few spoonful. I mean, did they run out of spices or what??!
 

claypotfish
Claypot fish with rice… just so so
 

So they have quite a variety of dishes to choose from. The menu was really thick. There were 7 types of salad, 11 types of noodles, 7 types of rice dishes and god knows how many types of other dishes! But i think the only thing that impressed me was the free flow Evian for just RM10…
 

imperialset
Imperial Set is friggin’ RM98++!
 

I guess i’m not a fan ofVietnamese food afterall. Does outlets in the mall even counts? Maybe there are people who prefer mild tasting food. Either that or they had completely messed up the recipe in Viet Passion… I hope it’s the later coz i am really looking forward to my Hanoi-food-scavenging-trip!
