life as slow as it gets

Just a Question.

No. Actually make it a few instead.

I’ve just finished cleaning a soap dish. At 12.39am in the morning. Because i’m very cranky. When i’m cranky i clean.

Why do you already feel like you’re having menses for days but it’s not due yet? I mean i can practically feel in my abdomen ok!

Why do people do not get it when i already tak layan and put on a very stoned face whenever she/he talk to me? I mean i never once responded to the ONE way conversation!

Then why do the person (mentioned on the above sentence) thinks she/he is qualified to give out advice even though she/he is a big loser in life? I mean what gives you the right to tell me what to do when you have no achievement in your pathetic little life and i obviously ignores you every time i hear your stupid voice! If you count raising rats and harboring mosquitoes your life long achievement then here is another question for you: Are you suffering from brain damage or something?

Why do some people age gracefully but some become nagging machines like a tape recorder that has the rewind button on automatically? It’s not fair!

Why do some people eat so much but don’t gain an ounce and some eat so little but gain 10kgs? It’s so not fair!

Why do guys have the tendency to be late all the time and insist that they will just take a “few minutes” then ignores to tell you that they are running late after that? I mean, why can’t you just say you don’t know what time you will be here?

Do you think all women do is wait for your arrival? That i’ll drop everything i’m doing and run to you when you do? What if i live with a really big family e.g. 10 loony people in the house and i have to queue up to use the shower which means by the time i know you won’t make it i’ll only get to shower like at 3 in the morning!

Why do some people calls you again and again and again when there is a problem with the line which prevents you from having a proper conversation? I mean hello, it’s really annoying!

Why do some people call you when you are fed up with them and they talk like in slow motion with a lot of pause in the middle? I mean, why cannot talk faster? I mean, it’s so annoying that if i’m not fed up with you in the first place, i will be now!

Why do some people insist that you attend their wedding reception even though you barely keep in touch over the years and then get mad at you for not making it? I mean, it’s not like you have time to layan me during the dinner let alone notice that i’m there! I mean, if we are such best buddies in the first place then obviously i’ll definitely attend else if i really can’t, you would have understood why i couldn’t make it. If you are inviting me for the red packet, no problem i’ll mail it to you if you are so desperate.

What is it that when one thing goes wrong then everything else goes wrong?

I want to go to sleep desperately but i’m too cranky and my hair is wet! You know what i don’t even have a hair blower that works in this blardy sickening place!

FML. FML. FML.

But most of all FYL!!!

Oratane Side Effects

Posted by slowcatchupkuan On August - 27 - 2010 0 Comment


I’m on the 6th weeks of using Oratane. So far, so good. I’m very happy!

On the 4th week, my skin had already shown great improvement. I’m hoping by the end of the 8th week, my skin would be rid of whiteheads completely.

I’m surprised that quite a few people had asked me about my progress and whether i have any adverse effect of using Oratane. I guess there are lots of people who are in the same depressing situation.



Right now, i’m suffering from some side effects from taking the acne pills. For one, my lips had become extremely dry. Even though i had already expected it because my dermatologist had warned me about dry lips, it’s really a pain in the ass.

Since last week, my lips are cracked and chapped. Using the wrong lip balm makes it worst; it’s become a little swollen too. Now i’m using Vaseline Lip Essence that works great and of course drinking lots of water. In time, it’s more manageable.

My eyes are a little dry too. I can’t wear contact lenses for too long at a time. But it’s worth it for a better skin right?

For people with the same skin problem, i hear you and don’t give up!

Living Wall

Posted by slowcatchupkuan On August - 25 - 2010 0 Comment


Aren’t these the most gorgeous thing you’ve ever seen?







I accidentally watched this particular episode of Martha Stewart (accidentally because i don’t usually watch her show, she’s so robotic) and i fell in love with this concept of “living wall” or green wall as it is also known.



Isn’t it the prettiest thing ever??!! Gosh, i can’t stop gushing about it, it’s so beautiful!

There’s a section of the episode where Scott Hutcheon the landscaping guru teaches us how to build this but i can’t find it online. Doesn’t matter coz it’s fairly simple.

I love the Kirei board frame and the hidden hinges on top and bottom of the frame were you can open it up to install the irrigation tray on top and the  water drainer at the bottom. That’s like really cool.



The plants there in the Martha Stewart show are supposed to purify the air too. I love the big petal ones although i don’t know what type are those. I think i heard the guru said it’s a “petiveria” or something. I shall make it my life mission to hunt for that plant. LOL.

I wonder how much it’s going to cost for me to plant so many types of plants on the 20″x20″ panel. I really want this in my future house.

I’m already envisioning it hanging at multiple places within the house! But, i like it best at the dining room where i can enjoy my meal while watching it grow… well technically anyways.

My only concern is will it grow so huge and long that it would eventually droop down… then i would probably have to trim it all the time huh?

Geez, i’m becoming a domestic goddess, i am.

No photographs please!

Posted by slowcatchupkuan On August - 23 - 2010 1 Comment


Gone are the days when Kobe would pose oh so willingly for the camera.

Like this.



She used to be such a poser diva dog. She would sit so still and wait for us to snap her awesome photos. I have so many picture perfect photos like this one on my desktop folder, i could sell it to the pets magazine and earn some $$$ for Kobe’s dog biscuit and toys fund!

But now… now, she not only won’t stay still for the camera, she fidgets and refuse to even look at the camera! Wtf.

See?



Every time i point the camera to her face she will turn her head facing elsewhere. Then when i put the camera down she will look at me.



I spent like 5 minutes trying to coach her for a photo but she just won’t look at me straight!

Here’s the final one where she’s peeping at me to see if i’m still holding the camera -_-”



Here’s one outside the gate. She just took a bath and i tied her to the gate to dry. And she still won’t look at me!



And finally only when i said the magic word “Kai kai!” (which means i’m taking her for a walk at the park) that she was willing to look at the camera. Smart bitch… will do anything for a walk.



We were at the park on the weekend morning and i thought we would try our luck again. Maybe she’ll be a little more obedient if we threatened not to release her from her harness at the park yeah.

You see, we always release her to run around at the park and when we don’t it’s like the end of the world for her.

And still… she won’t do it! Fml.



Finally, taaa daaaa!

Look at Kobe, don’t look at me. I do realize that i have the same pose and expression on both photos wtf but it’s not the same photo ok.

Err by the way that is not our car. Don’t know where’s the owner.



Throw in another photo of me taking Kobe for a short walk just because i think my legs looks good here hahahaha!

DIY Nails

Posted by slowcatchupkuan On August - 19 - 2010 0 Comment


Nice not?



Midnight blue as base and peach for the dots which turned pink on the dark color.

Ok, ok i know. Very fail LOL.

I definitely have no talent with DIY nails and i totally have no patience to wait for the paint to dry. See the smeared dots? Proof of my good patience.

I do like the midnight blue varnish i got from The Face Shop though. Really nice. It’s better than black which i find rather too gothic. The blue is really cool here.

Am thinking about getting the baby blue one too.

To the bf: Don’t worry b, i’m not turning into a typical giggling female (i no talent even if i try). I’m just plain bored LOL.

World’s Ugliest Butterfly

Posted by slowcatchupkuan On August - 18 - 2010 0 Comment


Damn cute!

I was using the PC last night; i turned around and saw the boyfriend lying on my giant dog bone pillow.

It occurred to me that he looked like a butterfly with the orange checkered bone as the wings. No?

Like this.



A bonus from the boyfriend. Dead butterfly look – dying from hunger.



Ahahahahaha!

Safety First

Posted by slowcatchupkuan On August - 18 - 2010 0 Comment


A while back, a girlfriend of mine had her bag snatched while she was waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. She wasn’t aware of the motorcyclist approaching her because she was listening to her MP3 player at that time. In just a matter of seconds the snatcher grabbed her handbag and cut the handle loose.

It’s really scary nowadays when nowhere is safe anymore. I had my share of terrifying encounters which fortunately I was not harmed.

There are a lot of perverts in my housing area. On 2 occasions I was followed from behind and harassed. At that time I wished I had a weapon or a tool to fend myself.

Safetygirl.com sells all kind of safety items such as stun guns, personal alarms, pepper sprays and such. In fact that is not all, they also have emergency kits, women’s working clothes and other safety gears. Everything on the website is design to cater for women’s protection and safety.

They specialize in pepper spray as you can see from the wide array of pepper sprays available on the site. There are pocket pepper sprays, pepper foam, disguised pepper spray, keychain pepper spray and etc.

My favorite is the disguised pepper spray. Like this pepper spray pen.



I could clip in on my shirt after work and if I was attacked I could grab it easily without the need to open my handbag.
