Another year has come to an end. 2007 had been an interesting roller coaster ride for me. You could say it was one the worst year i’ve ever had… but i would say it was also one of my best because it was the year that i had many memorable first and because it was the year that i finally feel free to be myself.

A recap of some of my memorable moments of year 2007.

1) I went into depression.

2) I finally quitted the job that i hate after 3 years of meaningless misery to start anew.

14) I finally own a dog! She was the 8th dog that strayed into my house and we’re keeping it this time. Her name is Mug Mug… as in Pig Mug (Zhu Mug) that Mug… Mom’s car kena TOTO twice after we had the dog. Too bad mom didn’t buy the number… i would have been a millionaire by now *blardy hell!
15) I had a first home Xmas tree and picnic celebration.

All that aside, this is a year to remember simply because this year i threw caution to the wind and be my own self. I thank god that there were people beside me that had supported me emotionally and physically through the hard times. I don’t think i need to mention who those people are coz you know who you are. To all of you, a heart felt thank you from me.

I will not be setting any new year resolution this year because i know i’ll not remember half of what i had resolute to do and even if i do remember, as if i would even bother about it by the coming 12 months. I’m a member of the procrastinator club… hmm… maybe next year i’ll be elected club’s president… then i’ll declare every day as a work free day coz there’s always tomorrow right?… i’ll stick around to find out. *muahahaha

I just hope that next year will be a happy and healthy year for me and for every out there. Welcome baby 2008. I promise i’ll try my best to take care of you :P

Alien Vs Predator Xmas Version


Mr. Alien
doesn’t look too scary here does he?

avp1
Alien lost with Santa hat in Curve

In fact, i think he look pretty hawt for a man-eating-out-of-space dude. Look at those pearly white teeth. And the shiny bald head beneath the macho Santa hat… Well, ok. He’s a bit skinny but humans are at abundant on planet earth, so he’ll be fatter in no time.

avp3
Say cheese!

I think the side-kick in dreadlocks was a bit intimidated by his good looking friend.

avp2
Undies are not a replacement for good looking my dear

Ermm i think this stint at the Curve will be more exciting than the movie itself *wakaka!

So, let me complete my task by tagging these lucky 5 peoples:
Wombok, L’beille, Desmond, LeeChien and KangYong.

This is What i Had for Xmas 2007

Scratchbox (my laptop) finally came home yesterday. They fixed the AC socket that cost a blardy RM80. However, it seems that Scratchbox had contracted the worm disease and now it is corrupted and spitting fire at me *god damnit. So, when i tried to log on to Windows and it kept kicking me out, i could not help but to condemn everyone who’s involved in creating the frickin’ virus to hell and back. *$@#$&@#%$##!!!!! Get a life people!

This just means another week of miserable deprivation from Internet and blogging… which means the end of civilization and world for me. Which also means sneaking out to someone’s place so that i could update my page in the wee hours… sigh

Anyways, here’s what my Xmas dinner looks like.

chef
The most expensive chef on earth… yeah right!

Actually we went to Ikea to get some meatballs or sausages but they ran out of almost everything. Talk about Xmas frenzy! *insane i tell you… how could Ikea run out of frozen food!

So we ended up getting a triple decker chicken crisp sandwich and tuna salad from O’Briens (which i think is still my fav sandwich ever), frozen hash browns, nuggets and sausages from Cold Storage and soya balls from Soya Shop for dessert.

And voila!

Cozy Xmas dinner at home!

Merry Christmas Everyone!


I doubt there’ll be any readers today… which is a good thing for once :).

Tomorrow is Christmas. Yes, it’ll be soon. I guess everyone is getting ready for a great Christmas eve celebration and counting down the seconds tonight.

I am not a Christian or anything near to a religious person… but i love this time of the year. To me Christmas means nothing but warmth, peace and love. I can’t help but feel happy and joyful when the season is near every year. To me Christmas is not about religion or race but a world wide celebration of unity, peace and most of all love. I guess most Malaysians feels the same judging by the many people of all races and religions crowding the malls, shopping for presents, enjoying the festivity in unity. I couldn’t help but smile when i see a Malay girl playing with Christmas decorations or an Indian girl taking photos with Santa.

My mini Xmas tree!

When i was younger i would look forward to cookies and Christmas programs on TV. When i was a teenager i would look forward to Christmas parties and a visit to the mall to have a look at the nice decorations. When i was in college i couldn’t wait for the full blast, noisy and happening Christmas countdown and beer infested parties with confetti and blinking Santa hats.

However, this year i’ll be celebrating at home with my loved one. You could say i’ve mellowed or i had turned into a boring pathetic old lady with the the zest of a 90 year old *as if i care but to me it’ll be nothing less of a great celebration. After all Christmas is all about harmony and tranquility right? :P

To everyone out there, have yourself a Merry Christmas!

*have you been a good boy/girl lately?

Classic Comic: The Adventures Of Tintin


EatAllYouCanShung has finally put up his second blog post. Hurray! The old hag has finally come around after months of procrastinating.

Anyways, look what i found at Kinokuniya yesterday!

Tintin hardcover comics! OMG OMG OMFG!!!

Hardcover Tintin

Don’t tell me you don’t know what Tintin is ok!… uhm… well ok i don’t blame you. Maybe only old lady like me would know. I’ve read The Adventures of Tintin: The Seven Crystal Balls when i was in primary school. I had no idea where i got my hands on the copy but i remember that i was pretty fascinated by it.

Tintin comics were created by a Belgian artist Hergé, publish in the 1920s. The stories was focus on a journalist called Tintin accompanied by his dog, Snowy traveling all over the continent having dangerous adventures and solving mysteries. It’s something like a Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones mix. Sad to say that there’s only 24 episodes to this comic before the artist passed away in 1983.

It was quite popular back then and mind you, the one i read was not those polish quality printed comics like today but prints on newspaper textured paper. *damn classic i tell you.

collectiontintin
All the 24 paperback covers

There are two versions available in Kinokuniya. One is the hard cover with each cover containing 3 stories. There are 24 episodes in total so there are 8 volumes costing RM60++ each. However, i very much prefer the paperback because if you are a collector then you’ll get to collect all 24 unique covers of the comic which cost about RM30 each. Damn cool i tell you.

I bought EatAllYouCanShung his very first Tintin comic as a Christmas present coz i think it’s about time i poison his mind with Tintin obsession so he would start collecting and i could read it for free *wakaka! Psst, i told him i bought it coz i don’t want him to get the same thing for me but i’m not telling which one i bought for him. That’ll come later on Xmas day.

Anyways, he went to Kino today and grab another copy. It’s the first edition which is in black and white. Very old school :).

Oh yeah, i heard there’s a Tintin movie coming next year or a year after. *it’s a bout time! Something to look forward to indeed!
