50th Entry

Cheers to myself for reaching the 50th blog entry mark. It would have been my 100th entry if I didn't have to split between two blogs. I had been thinking for the past few days on what to post for my 50th entry. Should I blog about something memorable? Or should I just brush this 50th entry thing off. Till now I still couldn't quite decide on the content of this entry. Anyway, I don't think it really matters anyway cause I'm probably the only person who knows of the existence of this blog. Perhaps I should quit blogging entirely.

This blog has not had it's moment of glory nor has it receive any hits but still I carry on posting because I am not a quitter. The content of this blog might not have conformed with what the crowd looks for and expects from a blog. It does not contain any photographs of myself trying to look cute or posing in provocative poses. Neither does it contain any photos of clubbing fiesta. One thing for sure is I stay true to myself. I will not change anything about myself or this blog for the matter just to be accepted by others.

It is really pathetic to change oneself into something you are not just so you would be liked. This blog was not created to receive hits but was created as a place for me to vent my frustration and some reminders of things that happened. The content of the entries might not be appreciated but that doesn't really matter as I'm not appreciated in life anyway. I have always been treated as a pushover and a scapegoat by those around me. People take me for granted and treat me as a hotel by coming and leaving as they wish. Some even use me as a practice to see whether their tricks might work. I have been called names and back stabbed so many times that I am immune towards it. Criticism no longer works on me. If you're thinking of putting me down, you would have to come out with something new.

Layer Cake

A friend of mine went to Jakarta, Indonesia and bought me this layer cake. This is the original Indonesian recipe.

Indonesian still stay true to their roots. Even named their bakery Holland Bakery.

The side view of the cake. It is quite big. Must have cost a lot.

The top view of the cake. Those are almond slices and not mould.

Injured Knee

I injured my knee. How nice. I am now walking like the march of the penguins. What a way to wrap up this month. Sigh.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

June 19 2007

Was on the way to pick up my dad from the station yesterday(19 June 2007) around 2p.m.. On the way I witnessed many 'mishap'. There were branches everywhere. The 'decorative trees' planted by the city council landed on the roads. At Greenlane I saw a national car rammed into the back of a truck and it's bonnet smashed. It caused quite a jam at that spot because everyone slowed down to have a look, although no one was injured.

Not long after that, I witnessed a tree lean over and landed on two new cars in RECSAM's compund which caused the car alarms to go off. More trees were uprooted along the way to the terminal. I told my mum "I have stories to tell daddy later". A few minutes after I said that, I received a call from my dad. He told me our neighbour called and said a tree landed on one of our cars. I hung up and got out from the car to help him with his luggage and we headed home immediately as mum was extremely worried about the car. The traffic was seriously congested throughout our ride home with more trees being uprooted causing vehicles to cram into one lane on the already heavy traffic area. We receive more calls from our neighbours telling us the road back to our place is already covered with fallen trees and told us to detour. Upon reaching home, my mum called the authority and he immediately sent for the voluntary firemen to remove the fallen trees. What a day!

When the tweed can no longer hold, it snaps. This could have been avoided if the council had chopped off the trees and kill the weeds before they overgrow.

Look what you've done!

"Hey get off me. You're blocking my view! AAaaachoo....sniff. I'm allergic towards chlorophyll"

Jokes aside. As you can see there are many more fallen trees in the photo.

These 'trees' are not planted by us. They grew from weeds that turn into undergrowth and finally a fully grown tree. The council people have been told numerous times to chop off these tweeds but noooooo...... This is what happens when the council is lazy and refuse to listen. Now, Who is to be blamed?

Father's Day Today?

I just heard from the news that it is Father's Day today? Goodness Gracious. Didn't know about that. Wonder why there isn't any big hoo haa over it. They usually promote Mother's Day but why there isn't any for both celebration? Anyway, I just want to say

"Happy Father's Day, Daddy!"

P.S.: I want a new handphone for my birthday (hint hint)

Everything

"Do unto others what you want others do unto you".

Just exactly how true is that? Well, I can tell you for sure, it's crap. Pure crap. You can give your all, a 110% and more in doing things for others but you will not get even a meagre 0.01% from them in return. People will just keep taking and taking from you but would never reciprocate. That's just how fair the world is.

It's fine that if you don't want to chip in. Just don't worsen the situation by misleading people from the truth. I know of such people whom are really jealous of other's achievement and will do eveyrything they can to sabotage. They enjoy other's sorrow. Their greatest moment is to see others in trouble. Wonder what glory this people get out of that? Self satisfaction? It's even lower when it comes from a guy. Cheapskate loser. Looks like they have all been bitten by the 'kiasu' bug from the neighbouring country. Village people. Can't blame them from being their true selves - hilly billies.

Pretentious

We had some guests around today. Went out to dinner with them. One of the daughter's of the guest tried to be a dumb blond for the day. Her father ordered a plate of fried koey teow for her. When it arrived she asked her father

Girl: How to eat?
Father: (Diligently explaining)


Next to arrive was the sting ray. Again she posted her signature question:

Girl: How to eat?

Her father extracted all the flesh from the sting ray and placed it aside for her majesty to feast.


Then the clams arrived.

Girl: How to eat?
Father: Put inside your mouth and eat! (But quietly pick out the clams from their shells for her.


I strongly feel that "how to eat" are the only words in her vocabulary.

My Baby Turns One

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to St Gorgeous,
Happy Bithday to you.

Approximately one year ago, on the 28 May 2006, St Gorgeous was born after much persuasion and pestering from fellow 'blogger' to switch to Blogger. A year has passed and now my baby turns one. I'm so proud of you. May there be more proud moments in the years to come (provided this site does not shut down). Happy Birthday!

A Song For Mum

I feel happy when I am near her
With her soft words
She makes life dearer
When I see her with eyes so weary
I want to let her know I love her so
Such a warm smile that always leads to laughter
Like an ending that's happy ever after
How I hope to be like her when I'm older
She is my mother and I love her so


Happy Mother's Day!

Words of a Sick Author

There weren't any post on the first few days of may because I have been seriously ill. I still am while typing this. I am down with high fever and it has now developed to runny nose and serious cough. Paracetemol has been my meals for the past week. The doctor adviced me that if my fever still does not subside after a few more days, I would have to have my blood drawn for checking. Hope that I will recover soon as I have a deadline to meet this week.
