Risk ...Reward

The higher the reward, the higher the risk.

The tennis match that we lost.....and that sucks.

Yesterday, Wen Yan and I played tennis doubles against Eusoff Hall. Though we were leading by 8-3 initially, we started making mistakes and gave the match to them on a silver platter. Damn. I should practice more.

My intelligent racquet deserves a more skillful owner.

the static age

I like the static age...have been listening to their "cherry red", "vertigo", "blank screen" and etc. Described as a post dance punk band, they are a quiet bunch of people. The music is never loud but it has a pulsing gloomy yet fun melody. Their music makes you reminiscense about the past yet imagine about the future.
Beware, listening to it more than 5 times makes the band intolerable.

Han Yang just gave a half-paralysed zebrafish to Po Ling. The poor fish was injected with transgenic gene to induce paralysis during ecology class, the paralysis will last for a few weeks. Apparently, the fish's two other buddies committed suicide by jumping out of the aquarium. Sigh...all in the name of science and education, even small fish are suffering.

NEWS RELEASE
A BORING VALENTINE? I DON’T THINK SO

BANDAR SUNWAY, 18 JAN - Every February, across the country, chocolates, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of Valentine’s Day. Be an el-cheapo and win yourself a Valentine’s gift for your loved ones without spending a single cent. Steps to becoming a cheapo:

1. See cheap looking 4x8 board beside the Concierge
2. Choose one of the gifts in the board
3. Borrow the pen from the Concierge. Don’t bring your own
4. Mark on contest form provided by the Concierge

Christmas Pics with Cell

Hot Chickies of the Kuku Cell
(Shocker Award of the Year goes to Min Litt for that outrageously HOT zebra-striped dress and boots, Glamour Queen Kim shines in her dazzling PINK necklace)

Me and my little Bro (no doubt the cutest guy in town that night and coupled with the SUPER SMART tie and suit...he is out to melt hearts)
(Kuku Cell Chickies in their Christmas garbs) Lian Khin looks deliciously pretty in that black and white dress. Someone needs to get her a cute guy to match the pretty gal.

Growing Pile of Work

After 5 days away from work, I thought I would have a good holiday and break but mana tahu, my neck is already aching by now. I have loads of work to do but somehow, I can't seem to finish my work. How I wish I can just tumble into bed right now and snuggle in the warmness of my comforter. Then, turn on the night light to watch a happy, romantic comedy. I'm not in a mood for any negativity right now because I'm super TIRED and STRESSED!

My ways of DE-STRESSING:

1. A bath tub filled with warm therapeutic essence (rose for feminity, sea minerals to refresh, wisteria for pampering, strawberry for sweetness).
2. A box of Ferrero Rocher and a cold citrus drink in front of a romantic comedy.
3. Lying on the bed with the lights off and a GOOD CD.
4. Harry Potter's 7th book and the handphone OFF.
5. Shopping and actually getting good deals.
6. Everyone disappears and I get the piano to myself.
7. Aromatherapeutic massage (not greedy but 4 hours will be great).
8. Writing articles on topics that I'm passionate about.
9. Cleaning up the house.
10. Rearranging my cubicle.

Shopping For Slacks

Woke up early to jog but couldn’t get any of my sis to wake up at 9am. Looks like I had to wait for them to wake up. PIGLETS!

Finally, I got the last piggy to wake up because we had to get Hoey Sheen a pair of new slacks for her job at the kindergarten. She had lost so much weight that all her pants look too big for her which is a good sign coz she is beginning to look pretty. I can’t wait for the final completion of her slimming diet.

We decided Tebrau City was going to be our shopping destination because MNG, TopShop and all were having sale. After 5 hours of walking, we finally decided on a pair of army pants for Hoey Sheen and she looks great in them! She now wears a size 8 for Dorothy Perkins (which is the smallest size) and I bet a few weeks from now, she will be wearing a size 8 for TopShop (right now, size 10 for TopShop).

Hoey Lit … she got herself a pair of super tight jeans which accentuates her ass nicely. Lucky her. I look like I’ve got a flat ass when I wore the jeans. There goes my chance of getting any other cutting besides Levi’s. Being this thin is no fun when it comes to finding clothes. Whoever said that it was easy to find clothes, PLEASE! Come and try to be me when shopping to experience “depressive shopping syndrome” (DSS) – a disorder that is triggered by the impossibility of finding the right skirt in the right size or the unavailability of size for the preferred design.

Thank goodness I didn’t have to endure DSS this time because I got myself a G2000 blouse (a beautiful and green collared blouse with soft glowing lines and chiffon lining). Can’t imagine what I’m describing? Its just a collared G2000 blouse but I’ve been eyeing this piece since last year and I can’t believe that its going for 50%!

While we trying out clothes, one of us had a brainwave for each to buy the same baby T and wear this for family outings. We never wore the same outfits since we were young and we got super excited over this.

Our aim: To wear this baby T in our individual style and make it look GOOD!

When we got home, the first thing we did was to try out the baby T in different styles and the results – fantabulous!

Hoey Sheen : Playful, cute and cheeky charm with her usual style of “carefree-ness”

Hoey Lit: Casual chic with style

Hoey Theen: Still haven’t decided on the combo because all my clothes are back in Subang.

To see the results of this “Sisterhood Baby T” fashion statement, stay tuned for more updates or better still, catch us LIVE at FGT’s Sunday Service this week.

Countdown to 2007 with CSI

3, 2, 1….zzz…zzz… that was what I was doing during the new year’s countdown. Tired after staying up late the night before and spending a whole day with the family. All of us were watching CSI Season 6 (the whole series in a night) which was quite fun, between channel surfing on our new satellite channels. My favourite which incidentally was also Hoey Lit’ fav is the World Fashion Channel which features the latest trends in fashion. Next was Trace TV, a channel similar to Malaysia’s MTV and Channel V but this is European based. Poor Dad and bro had to endure our endless fascination with fashion, criticism of “ugly” designs and raves about those that we like. I guess we only found out that they were bored when we heard Dad snoring in the background.

Hoey Sheen went for her countdown party after our New Year’s eve dinner which was the fabulously delicious “pong teh” chicken and “chai sim” soup. Dad cooked and I was supposed to help but I slept through the afternoon. Must be sleep compensation after all the deprivation earlier this month. Living on barely 5-6 hours of sleep each day and sometimes, less has a very tiring effect on the poor mind.

In the afternoon, all of us went to Willy’s new house in Mount Austin and the house was ideally nice for a couple or young family. Gated, clean, spacious, plenty of parking space, cooling and quiet. The best part – it was superbly reasonable at only RM190,000. Can’t imagine getting a deal like that in Subang – MISSION IMPOSSIBLE! We didn’t get our chocolate fondue as promised by Kok Peng, but we had chocolates instead during our gossip session (as usual for girls) while the guys had a gala time shouting over their Playstation football game.
