And It Was Chinese New Year

 
CNY is soon over. Let me see… 1 2 3 4…yep 4 more days to go before the firecrackers dies down. What the hell happened to the firecracker-ban this year? I mean like, the pasar malam in Kepong was like a crackers-haven. Even the guy selling pirated games converted his stall selling firecrackers ler. I haven’t had a good night sleep since. Wtf.

This year CNY wasn’t too bad despite those blardy neighbors kids throwing firecrackers and scaring the hell out of my dogs, coz most relatives are married and… ahem… naturally they neglected to come for house visit this year. Oh well, the less the better. Less relative, less drama right? *wakakaka!

Surprisingly though, this year i raked in more angpow money than before thanks to Mr.Bf’s mom and grandma. Not that i was so keen on getting angpow lar. Relatives kept pestering asking me when it’s going to be my turn. Wtf. It’s none of your business if i die a sorry spinster buried with my farm of cats or dogs for that matter, ok?! Get off my case already! Hmmppff!

Wtf. I was typing this post and suddenly i received a sms from Mr. Bf that made me go wtf. What do you make of this “Wuwuwuwu b saw a big anne hathaway poster hahahaha!”? Wtf right? Dear, Anne Hathaway is mine ok?

Ok, back to my story. How was your CNY? Mine was alright coz i spent most of the time stuffing my face with food… like every other Chinese people during CNY -_-”. First it was the reunion dinner which wasn’t so grand since all the boyfriends were back at their respective hometown. It was simple.

Then it was all the minced pork or bak kua and kuih kapit and shandy and oranges and god knows everything that will make you fat! Mom was too lazy too cook and we spent most of the time eating out or chomping on snacks.

In the end we got too bored of Chinese food that we sped to 1 Utama for some sushi! Like wtf right?

Actually this year i had 2 separate “lou sang”. One with the family and another with friends. The later was at SS2 Ang Kee restaurant. I regret not asking the boss for a ladder. The higher you toss it the better wat. No meh? Who came up with the idea of lou sang anyway? Must be a business man or a restaurant owner… what a rip off…

Happy Birthday Mr. Bf!

 
Today is Mr. Bf’s birthday so

Happy Birthday B and muacks muacks, hugs hugs, xoxoxo!

You’ll love this coz you’re a geek LOL

I’ve been wanting to write a long and touching post (that’ll make you cry like a baby) but the lazy bug got the better of me. Ya, i’m getting lazier and lazier as you have obviously realized by now hahaha I’m thinking of if i’m a long lost relative of my neighbor’s fat grey pigdog. Hahaha.

I also feel really bad that i did not wished you last night but since i had tummy cramp the whole night after chowing down on fishballs and fu juk. I think i’m forgiven right? No more steam boat for me for at least 3 months ok? Whatever it is, a whole night of diarrhea and whole morning of diarrhea already served as a punishment :(.

Since i am apologizing which you know i rarely do, let me continue. :P Ok, i’m sorry that i made a fuss during the Deepavali holidays but it’s not my fault. It’s my hormone going haywire and because sometimes you just piss me off. By the way it’s already quite obvious by the way i am writing today that my hormone is still on roller coaster mode. Haha. I’m really sorry. But i promise that i will try to be a good girl and not bite your nipple off in anger tonight since it’s your birthday. *blek!

God, i am so unprepared this time. I didn’t even get you a birthday present. I was going to get you the Fossil wallet but i don’t know which one you would prefer and i think it’s so impersonal if you know what i mean. I didn’t even get you a cake for gods sake! My bad…

I am just out of energy and enthusiasm to do anything nowadays. I wish i had planned something for your birthday… sigh…. oops it’s my hormone speaking again. Ok, stop stop stop.

Anyways, i hope my wishing you a happy birthday is worth anything. Love you and cross fingers that we’ll be celebrating your birthdays together in the future. Although if you get me 10 doggies, it will 100% guarantee that i will be celebrating with you for the next 10 years lar *wakakakaka!

Happy Birthday again b. :)

Ps:// this weekend we go get the wallet … or levi’s lar if you want ok?

Happy Deepavali!

 
Oh oh, i almost forgot!

To all Hindu friends and readers Happy Deepavali!

I googled for how to wish ‘Happy Deepavali’ in Tamil and learned this ‘iniyia deepavali nal vaazthukkall’. Have no idea if it’s correct or what haha. Hope it’s not a bad word or something in Tamil.

Hmmm… i have yet to get my hands on some muruku :(

Happy Holidays everyone.

McKinney Dickens Festival

 
The downside of living in the city during Christmas is you don’t get to attend old fashioned Christmas festivals such as the McKinney Dickens festival in Texas.

The downtown McKinney’s premier festival is a joyous festival complete with Victorian atmosphere where there are horse drawn carriages, strolling carolers, Santa Claus and Christmas tree lighting. But most important of all is that the festival has a snow tubing hill. Isn’t it great?! I love snow tubing! It’s exhilarating! It’s an excellent activity for the family but i must warn you to be careful because it might get really bumpy down the hill. Hold on tight!

Anyways, there will be all kind of fun activities for all ages. There will be wonderful restaurants and shops around for everyone too enjoy during the holiday season. During December, the opening hours of the shops in McKinney will also be extended. Customers could take this opportunity to finish up the Christmas shopping at the many bookstores, boutiques, galleries and gifts shops around the town. Who knows what great gifts you might be able to find for your loved ones.

McKinney Dickens starts on the 28th November as a kick start to Christmas in December. Don’t miss the good food and old charm of the Dicken’s era!

Quiet Dinner and Mr. Hanky Panky

 
Thank you all for the happy wishes. I am very touched but please don’t think that i’ll spend you guys makan buffet. *wakaka!

Had a wonderful celebration on our 2nd anniversary. Nothing fancy, just a quiet dinner at our favorite Hajime restaurant. It was super.

By the way, i was looking through the food photos for my food blog and found this. I took the photo of the napkin because it has the Hajime’s famous puffer fish signatory. Coincidently i caught the heart shape confetti that was laid out under the table glass spread.

Love Letter

 
This post is dedicated to someone special coz it’s our special day today. Get bored, have goosebumps and feel free to regurgitate. As if i care.

Happy 2nd Anniversary to us!

Wow, i can’t believe that we had been together for 2 years already. Remember that i gave “us” the 1 year ultimatum 2 years ago? I wasn’t too convinced in the “Happily Ever After” story line. I doubted that any relationship would end happily (i still have my reservations). What can i say? I’m a pessimist. That is why i came out with the 1 year no strings attached rule so we can part ways after a year. I’m pessimistic and silly.

These 2 years have been one hell of a roller coaster ride. Full of ups and downs. But i’m glad that you’re here with me the whole time, holding up, putting up with my screaming and screeching… and trying not to barf. I know you how much you hate roller coasters :P.

It’s been a tough 2 years for me. I was at my darkest time. Whether i admit it or not, i know i couldn’t had lived through it with so minor scratches without your support. Thank you for forbidding me to say negative things about myself like “I’m stupid” or “I’m ugly” or “I’m useless”. I still think that i’m stupid, ugly, useless and all that crap but it’s scary nice to know that i have a blind bat for a boyfriend. Hahaha! And oh… It’s nice too that you actually understand and share my bad sense of humour. Muahahaha!

I know i’m not a verbal person and saying “I love you” makes my eyes water and face flushed. That pretty sums up the reasons why i don’t say it that often. But believe me, i do. You are my saviour, my best friend, my comic and my family. You are my weekend escape where i return to sanity (which i am also trying to hint that thou shalt not work during weekends coz i will go insane). And most important… my driver. (Oooo now i can see you making the -_-” face).

Last and not least. I love you and i hope there’ll be more anniversaries to come.
 

Ps:// For a guy who doesn’t know what the hell is Bon Odori, doesn’t gel his hair, read Chinese kung fu novels and can’t pronounce “Australia”, i just want to say…

“Why the hell am i with a person more old fashion than me?!!!”

 

Nah, i’m kidding.

Happy Anniversary!
