Had dinner with my family today. Home-cooked food. Yummy.....

Mum cooked black chicken soup for sister.

I asked,"Where do black chickens come from?"

Dad replied something that made us laugh. But I'm not going to say..... What if i get sued for being rac**t?

Wahahahha....... funny.

I told Mama to ask the chicken seller the next time she buys it.

Questions:

Where do black chickens come from?
Are they different from the normal chickens we eat?
Are they black when they were alive?
What's the colour of the eggs of these chickens.
How do black chickens look like? Like those black swans?
Why are all those black chickens on sale so small. Don't they grow bigger? Or they aren't nutritious if they are bigger in size?

Then came some stupid questions... From me, of course. (Stupid and I'm still proud to say they were asked by me. Stupid me.)

If a black chicken and a normal chicken mates and an egg is formed, what colour is the egg?
And what colour will the chick be?
Will it be having black spots? Or will it be half-black, half-white?

Interesting... Can anyone answer my questions? Hahaha......

23 June.

Today, my best-est friend is no longer Single. Mdm Lee aka Mrs Neo. Congrats....

Today, is also a friend's birthday... Happy Birthday Evelyn!

Today, is also my new colleague's birthday.

How so coincident. Well, maybe, there are tonnes and loads of people having their birthdays today too. There may be also dozens of babies brought to this world.

Talking about marriage. Is one considered a couple after the ROM? In the legal eyes, yes. In our traditional grandparents, parents and who-so-ever, maybe no. They only believe in customary. That's for Chinese.

And if one never thought of holding a customary dinner? Are they considered married?

Yes? No?

And if they do not hold the Chinese customary dinner, are they considered defiant, jian bu de ren (literally transalated to can't let people see)?

Hmmm.... I never really liked holding a customary dinner. All I like is a quiet private affair. Maybe a solemnization lunch, holding the Chinese tea ceremony at the same time. And then off to my honeymoon.

What will the elders say? Is it really two person's business when it comes to marriage? Or is it something that more than 2 person has a say.

Oh man... why am I talking about marriage?

Cos' I'm envious that someone of my age is actually married? Hahha... Maybe. Maybe not.

I always tell people, if can, I rather not get married. It's only a legal binding contract. Maybe the marriage should come in when there is a baby involved - to give the baby a surname. Or rather, not let people laugh at when he/she is older.... (I watch too much dramas....)

Cohabitation... I feel nothing is wrong. Personal opinion. When 2 person are really in love, is there a need for that legal binding document? Is that a document to show that one loves the other?

As much as that piece of paper is un-important. It's also important for women, people would say. For? To get alimony when anything happens? To get assets when anything happens?? To buy security - I think so. Women are always sensitive, overly suspicious creatures.

Whatever your views are.... never treat a marriage lightly. No matter if it's legal concerns, moral concerns or 'face' concerns.

It's easy to just say breakups with your boyfriend/girlfriend.
It's never easy to say breakups with your husband/wife.

Sorry peeps for not updating... is there anyone reading anyway? Who cares anyway.... yea, the nonchalant attitude once again.... hahaha

I'm down with flu, and now with a sore throat. And I just started a new job. Wonder if it's cos of the air... and maybe the aircon ventilation? Whatever the case, I only know that the aircon is damn freaking cold!!!!

Today marks the 4th day of me working in town. Shenton Way to be exact. In terms of dressing, hey, people working in town generally dress nicer. Well, except for the minority. And i think i fall under the minority category. Ha... u think so? Maybe.... considering how a lazy person at times.... but yet considering how a vain person i am sometimes....

Oh yah... apparently, I'm no longer the youngest there.... sad. it reminds me of how old I am now. the youngest is actually born in year 1985. Wow.... not even 21.

21 years old.... getting the key. but seriously, when you're 21, do your parents give you your 'key'? the key to freedom? Yes and no i guess.... no matter the age, we will always be kids in our parents' eyes.

For now, that's it. I'm getting sicker.

TGIF tomorrow. Enjoy.... Don't forget to pray for me to get well soon. :D

I received a pair of diamond ear studs!!! Not 1 caret, but I still like it. Well, it's the thought that counts right? Another one, which is a bracelet. (Wanted to post pictures, but... I'm having problems with the pictures uploading.. sign...)

A farewell gift. Friday marked my last day. Working for 3 years 4 months odd, I left the familiar environment. Mixed feelings. Nevertheless, happy that I'm moving on. Hopefully, the grass is greener on the other side. Hahhaha....

Made a couple of close friends. Mahjong kakis, makan kakis, gossip kakis. If you are reading this, please update me with anything... please don't find another mahjong kaki and throw me aside..... please share any juicy news cos' i'll always be as kpo. Hahahah...

Excitement for the new job will probably set in on Sunday night. Will I be able to get to sleep? Hahah.. Sounds childish? Maybe...

But I know for sure that if I can't sleep, that's maybe millions of people who will be equally sleepless. They may be even more wide awake than me. Cos' the World Cup is here! (By the way, I told almost everybody that I resign in order to watch World Cup... hahahha)

Watched the opening match between Germany and Costa Rica yesterday. Interesting? I don't know how to gauge. Pretty ok? Fantastic?? But I know that I can never understand what is the meaning of 'offside', despite many people explaining that to me before. Too chim for me. Or is it because those people can't explain well? Maybe I'm just a dumb head when it comes to men's sports....

Who will win? We will know in a month's time. For those who have placed bets, good luck to you. (p.s. if you do win big, please share some winning with me.... pretty please....)

Whats your Hearts Greatest Desire?

Your Greatest Desire Is Love. You fear being alone and possibly losing the people you care about. Your probably lonely and searching for that one special someone to brighten your life forever. Some people may think of you as the hopless romantic but you have a great personality and your also a good friend. Your so compassionate and your constantly thinking about others feelings, sometimes even before your own. You dont like to pamper yourself, because you feel that when you treat yourself well your becoming the kind of person you hate. You dont like coming off as such a softy in front of people, but on the inside your not as hardcore. Your more and a lonely trapped butterfly, looking for the person to complete them.1 Wish- To meet your soul mateColors- Red Black PinkSong- Seasons of Love (Rent)Sooner or later youll meet the right person. To meet the right preson you must try to be more open and outgoing.
Take this quiz!

Interesting. Am I desiring for Love? Hahaha...... But I guess, certain part of the quiz answer is pretty true. Try it for yourself...

I realise that i don't take much photos with my family. Especially my Dad. He's super camera-shy, i think. Hiak hiak...

Lemmings again...

This time, a MacBook... Woohoo... I'm getting influenced, bitten by the 'Apple' Bug. Hahaha...

Maybe a Ipod Video first. Yesh.. I'm still pondering over that....

Alrite.... Here's my post on my KL trip.

It was a 3D2N thingy. Went up by Transtar Coach - Premium (37 seater double-decker bus). Comes with a more spacious seat, massaging chair (I din really used it... very mild also) and a small lcd screen with a couple of channels (showing movies, cartoons, mtvs, documentaries etc. too bad, it wasn't video on-demand).

Me on the coach at early in the morning at 8.30am.



After a 5-hour ride (with some hiccups at the customs due to those Catholic High boys - yea, it's school holidays again..... how i envy them... ), we reached a new bus terminal called Pasar Rakyat Bus Terminal (apparently, it isn't that new as it was opened in 2002 but not many coaches use it as the alighting point till recently). Pretty near to Ritz Carlton Kuala Lumpur, the hotel we stayed in for the 2 nights.



Was automatically upgraded to an Executive Deluxe room when I only booked for a Deluxe room. It was awesome! Room is big - even bathroom is also big!!!! Service is good. With a personal butler whom we seldom use. Free complimentary drinks and snacks at the lounge at different times of the day. Free use of pool, sauna, jacuzzi (sadly, we didn't use, but we went to have a look at the facilities, and the outlook itself looks like that of a spa.... )

Realised that it is actually near Lot 10, the bukit bintang area, which is the shopping zone. We walked our way to Chinatown to have dinner. Through floods, as it was raining pretty heavily. Both Brian and I had a side drenched. Hahah.. But it was all worth it. The food in the aluminium was worth it!!!

2 out of the 3 dishes we ordered - La la (a type of shellfish), stingray and baby abalone. All in thick chilli gravy with long beans and lady's fingers.



Satisfied, we 'braved' through the rain again (luckily, it was as heavy) back to our hotel. Went to the lounge. To have our drinks. I had beer instead of red wine. Didn't really wana drink wine..... And the best, it's FOC aka complimentary.

Me relaxing on the lounge's couch.



Breakfast at Ritz was also good. A variety of local delights and western pastries. Best of all, they have this 'Ordered Hot from the Kitchen' where you can order for eggs, fried to your liking, with any sides that you want.



Brian's Egg Benedict with mushrooms and other sides. Yummy.



I only had an omelette. Boring huh...



The morning and early afternoon was spent at KLCC.

The twin towers (er.. correct???)



Lunch at A&W - you can't find this in Singapore anymore... I miss the waffle with ice cream and root beer float...



We decide to take their monorail back to our hotel area.

Find it kind of silly. We needed to change trains/monorail. And... and... the 2 stations were not linked. One got to get out of the station, walk a distance before reaching another station. Thought they could have a underground pass or something like our MRT line and NEL. But well... That's the difference, I guess.

But, because of the need to walk to another station, I managed to get to HRC KL. The only good thing about it. Hahahah...



Did not really buy alot. Instead, I ate alot. After we went came back from KLCC, and after resting our tired legs for a while, we went to have some congee and dimsum.

And we went to the famous Jalan Alor for dinner. Luckily, it wasn't raining.



BBQ chicken wings, fried mushrooms, fried penang kuay teow, oyster omelette.









Something interesting... look at this lift.



Had our lunch at Planet Hollywood on Sunday. Something we can never find in Singapore anymore also.

While waiting for our food...







Our food....





That ended our short getaway.

Will be back for the food and Ritz Carlton - the buildings in white.



I considered my loots little.

3 pairs of shoes.
1 bag.
1 novel.
and some miscellaneous items.
