Did you watch yesterday's episode of Ugly Betty on StarWorld?  Betty told Daniel (her boss) that she could arrange a business appointment between him and Matt's (her bf) famed billionnaire dad, Calvin.  Of course, when she asked Matt later, his answer was "No". There are a few pointers to be made here: 1)  Betty should have the courtesy to ask Matt first before convincingly telling Daniel that

My friend just paid over $600 (already discounted) for her fortune to be read, again.  It's not the first time she goes to a fortune teller, and they all tell her almost the same story.  Well, she could have just paid us half the cost, and we would have repeated her fortune to her again. According to the fortune-teller(s), there are some setbacks in certain aspects of her life.  What I don't

Today is International Women's Day.  I just completed watching Oprah's talkshow about women being abused by their partners/boyfriends.  According to her, every 1 out of 3 girls are being abused.  There was talk about Chris & Rihanna's relationship, 2 girls killed by their abusive partner, and 1 pregnant with his child but he's in prison for being abusive. It's sad to hear these stories.  It

It's been 2 weeks since I last blogged.  Besides being away & busy for CNY, I've been facing blogger's block (as in writer's block), especially since I discovered my brother's blog.  My only 'kor' has a new blog (in fact 3 blogs & a website) which I'm totally unaware of.  In fact, it's not "NEW" anymore, since the blog was established since 2006.  Silly me has been following the old blog which he

Chinese New Year is a very special occasion to me.  It's the only time when my family has a chance to be together.  With my brother in KK, my parents in Ipoh & myself in PJ, it's not very often that we can spend quality time together.  There's also joyous celebrations with our relatives from far & near, as we take turns to host 'open house' on Chor Ee, Chor Sam etc.  Oh, the "C" family is a

Only 1 month into 2010, and I must say I've accomplished quite a bit.  I'm so so proud of myself.  *beaming* I finally completed my beaded lamp, personally designed & handmade by me.  I have dedicated more time for my artwork.  I've started baking, and for a beginner, I must say I'm pretty good.  ;p  I've experimented with many new delicious dishes (home-cooked meals daily), and I now know how to

My boyfriend & I, we were taking our dog for a walk at the park. He found a spot, started digging & found a bone – no, not the dog, my boyfriend. Anyway, he gave the bone to the dog, and continued digging. To our surprise, buried in the ground was a pair of sneakers & an empty condom packaging. WTF! Guessing it was evidence to some rape cases, my boyfriend decided to take the sneakers with him.

I was at Cava again yesterday night.  I was just there last Friday for lunch.  It seems a favourite hangout place for some of my banker friends.  For those who are not aware, Cava Restaurant & Bar is a cozy little Spanish restaurant located in Jln Bangkung, Bangsar. Paella is a must-have here, hence we ordered Paella Valencia, a rice dish with mixed seafood & chicken.  We also had a variety of

The issue on the use of the word "Allah" has been in the news over the past week or so.  I never bothered getting more details as I thought it would be over in the blink of an eye.  Not until today.  I was having lunch with my friends in Bangsar when I heard that 1 church was burnt, a few others attacked, and a car windscreen smashed.  I was horrified!  My Malay good friend explained the whole

Went for my class today and met some new friends.  In the 3 hours we spent together, all our conversation topics seem to involve food.  Be it pregnancy, travelling, festivals, weddings, deaths or gifts, food was somehow part of it.  Why?  You guessed it... 4 out of 5 in the group were Chinese. Talking about Chinese, we seem to be the race with the most superstitions, some of which are even new

I watched Avatar yesterday, and needless to say, I was mesmerized, so much so that I wanted to be one of the Na'vi.....  Lo & behold, this is my own Avatar!  The scar across my left eye was a due to a catfight between Neytiri and I, fighting over Jake.  Meowww!   This movie brought me back to the long forgotten enchanted world I used to know as a kid.  The fairies, goblins, elves, gnomes - I

2010 - I believe it's a great beginning... for me, anyway.  After weeks of planning, I finally started a blog, on the 1st day of the year.  Something so simple, and yet..... There has been many changes in my life in preparation for this year.  So drastic the change, that 1 month into it, and friends are still asking the same question.  Sometimes I give different answers to different groups of
