What was supposed to be a R&R KL trip turned out to be a MAJOR Shopping trip. And to think, we, Tri and I purposely choose to put up at a hotel which is out of town and yet, we still managed to almost clear the malls!
On the way there, there was only just Tri, me and the driver on the coach. Which I must admit freaked us out a little. But no harm was done, we reached the hotel at about 1.30pm well ahead of schedule and we cannot even check in coz we were so early!
Hence, with rumbling tummies, we left our things at the concierge and we went off to search for food. Too hungry to walk and think, we settled for the first restaurant that caught our eyes.
Nando's.They seriously were ALL over the place. With at least 1 outlet in every mall we went to and we hit a few malls within the few days that we were there.
Too hungry to even look at the menu much, we just settled for the Starters which includes a little of everything and is also our main meal. Part of the reason is also because, the minute the menu is opened, this huge ass picture of the starters just stare right back at us... hence, easiest to just get this and done with instead of still torturing my food deprived stomach and very tired brain.
Which comes with 4 different sauces and we can pick our own level of spiciness. I think the Garlic chili is by far the best.
But I do like the way the sauces are there available for your own tasting and mixing and to experiment which is the favorite.
The starters took some time to arrive and by then, our eyes were busy roving round the mall to see what and where we should start.
Of course trying to pick out some shops that looks more promising prove to be quite tough... coz we were seated by the internal river that leads straight into the MINES resort and all we could see was the river and a toy store or hmm.. was it SASA? I can't really remember now.
All I remembered was I was desperately hungry and wishing that food will come fast. Pronto.
Even drinks took a long time to be placed before us. =( And not even our cutlery was given to us. For a while, I really thought we got to eat with our bare hands! Thank God, the waitress finally realized we do not have cutlery and drinks and proceed to give us what we need.
After a wait that seems like eternity, our food finally finally arrived on the table. The starters which we took as our mains. Suits us just fine. We were really really that hungry, chicken wings, warm pita bread in bite size, kebabs and sausages for just RM $24.90. Worth every single penny!
And add on RM $9.90 each, we got a glass of soft drink and a dessert!
Strawberry on don't know what cake... but VERY good.
My only grouse was, they serve us the dessert TOGETHER with the starters.
So you can imagine, we were trying to eat our hot food before it turns cold and trying to eat our dessert before it melts.
The Irony. =/ But what to do? We have communication issues, she only speaks limited English and we're just too hungry to say anything else. Just eat whatever is on the table first!
Anyway, after a very satisfying lunch, we realized it was pouring. So, we were trapped inside the mall. Off we go to look at the shops. And before long, I walked out of a shop with a pair of shorts!We finally decided that we should head back to our hotel to check in and freshen up after doing a quick survey of the malls. There was a Chinese books exhibition going on in the exhibition area but there's an entry fee of RM $2 which we refused to pay... since in SG, we don't have to pay to go for books fare, hence we gave that a miss! So, we just head to Giant to get our water and go back to hotel.
Hotel is pretty normal I guess. A little small but I guess still acceptable.
I mean it's comfy enough for both of us with a sitting area and dresser, which I must add, we hardly use. We basically laze on bed after shower. And lay our purchases on bed to snap snap snap photos after the day.
Dresser and sitting area is hmm.... to put things.
Comes with a tiny bathtub too. But I did not really use the tub except to stand in it while showering. M'sia water is not suitable to make bubble baths at all!
Somehow, the bubbles just won't foam no matter how much it's added... unless, the WHOLE damn bottle is used. Anyway, I think M'sia waters are very drying on skin. I can feel the tightening effect every single time I on the tap.View's not too bad. Can see the main hotel lobby and also all the way to the other end where the other hotel, Golden Horse is located, which is also part of the MINES Resort.
Just for the record, MINES Resort comprises of Golden Horse, Golf range, our hotel, the MINES Shopping Fair, Wonderland and Exhibition area I think.
Needless to say, the most frequented area of the MINES resort is the Shopping Fair.
Every SINGLE day, we will go to the Shopping Fair and every single time, we'll find something to buy.
Be it a top, a dress, a pair of shoes or snacks. There's ALWAYS just something to buy no matter how many times or how long we are inside the place!
We pass by the mall every single day and every time, we'll just get something. Sounds unbelievable right, so many damn things to buy?! I don't believe it myself. But it's absolutely true."Beach" is right below us. Only thing is, the beach's really tiny and not supposed to cross the strings of balls. =/
I don't really like the balcony walls, can see all the way through to your neighbors. I feel no privacy. But then again, in our 3 nights there, only once I saw my neighbor. So... I guess, nobody uses the balcony anyway.
But I was thinking, not very romantic for couples lor. Imagine being seen by all the neighbors. =( Not to mention being seen by the people in the lobby as well!
Hardly a nice place to get romantic at all. But I must say, despite all of it, it's still quite a nice place.
Can see far and many things at the same time.
So, after a short rest, putting away of things, a much needed shower and taken enough photos, we decided to head out to the mall again. First to see to our rumbling tummies once again. This time, we had Chinese herbal boiled soup!My set is lotus with peanuts soup and all of these soups can come in a set which will consists of a bowl of rice and a plate of soya sauce chicken and veggies. All these for only RM $10.90!
Eat till full full some more! But I'm not used to the Malaysian way of cooking their food. It's either too sweet or too salty for my liking. But still acceptable.
But the people in this shop, especially the guy who took our orders is horrible. Service SUCKS big time. Damn grouchy as though we owe him a million RM! *Humph*
After dinner, our favorite past time... Shopping! This time, I walked out with 2 tops. My whole day of loots consists of 2 tops, a pair of shorts and panties.Not bad at all for just a half day arrival thing, ya know! =)
Total expenses of food and shopping was about RM $270. Ok. Still not too bad. I think if I continue to keep my expenses this low, I should be able to survive within my budget , but of course, I burst it big time the next day. =(

Deal or no Deal?
Hub and I decided that we'll be getting a WII.... only thing now is to find out the different bundles and then make the purchase.
We found out that the shop in J8 sells the bundle at $645 with the following items:
Mod Wii Console Set
Additional pair of controller & nunchuk
5 games
Quite a good deal hor?
So now waiting for da man to nod or to shake his head and also for his exams to finish and then we'll go get one.
And meanwhile, I'm dreaming of the games I want to get. =D
Games like Mario Galaxy
Fly into outer space and catch stars? =P
Mario Party 8
I think I have this in my DS already, so may give it a miss. But it's really very cute and fun!
Mario Kart!
But this needs an additional Wii wheel if hub and me were to play together . So, may not get?
Super Paper Mario!
Aiyah... basically, as long as Mario games, ALL I like! =)
Not sure, all I know is that definitely, I want at least 1 Mario game. The rest, Hub can choose. When I hear of more fun Mario games, then I'll bug him to get it for me!
whahahahahaha....

Lemming
For a new Hp.
And the latest Sony Ericsson has caught my eyes.
The Xperia X1
Powerful little machine! But it's beyond my budget at the moment at $638. =(
Hope it will reduce soon. I want to get my hands on this baby.

*Ouch*
Very very painful experience.
Me and my carelessness and stupidness, have caused myself a 10 mark question. The worse is, I KNOW how to do the question.
And it's cause I did NOT flip all the way to the last page. I did not do the 10 mark question for Econs. And why did I not flip to the last page? Coz I know mentally that I did not do qn 1 as I was totally stumped by it. Then upon completed page 7, I happily flipped back to Qn 1 the other way round, missing the last 10 marks totally... and I still had about 45 mins to go before the paper ends!! I could have easily done the 10 marks!!! I gave up a sure win 10 marks to attempt a stupid 25 marks which I know nuts about!
So, all in, I've lost 35 marks. =(
*OUCH*OUCH*
I'm sooooooooooooooooo depressed. =(

Something to look forward to!
Am having my last paper (of this semester) on Wednesday, 10am. Thank God this time it's in SIM instead of the forsaken Expo! It took me almost 90mins to reach there! I hope it will be the LAST paper that I have to go all the way to Expo.
Anyway, with the scent of end of exams so near, I'm getting excited. Excited that finally, it's over for this semester. Of course, I won't know my results till Dec. But, my motto is, I've tried my best for the paper and the rest will leave it to God to bless me with a grade I deserve. Of course, I won't say "No" to Dist or A's. But as long as can clear the module and maintain my current accumulated GPA, any grade is fine.
I have 1 more day to go before the blessed Econs paper on Wed. Honestly, I'm quite nervous, there's so many formulas and different steps to follow thru and to remember. I just hope that my revision will be enough to see me through it.
=/
Enough of this exams thing. Just do my best and get it over and done with. *BLEAH*
The next most exciting thing is, bestie and me, we've made a F&E, relaxing trip to Malaysia, KL! We decided on last Thursday / Friday and today, we book went down to make our booking! =) Part of the reason that we both wanted to go away and disappear was coz she's stressed at work, I was fuming mad at hub...
Well, we'll be departing on 19 Nov, that's next Wed. Exactly a week away after my last paper! And, we'll be back on 22 Nov. 4D3N! Whoo hoo!!
Have made booking for a room in Palace Beach and Spa. The ONLY beach resort in KL city! I'm looking forward to the relaxing and lazy days ahead.
I'm especially excited over the MINES Shopping Fair!
What's so interesting is that it's like a city build on the river! I can't wait to go and try it out!!
There's also a Wonderland...
with Aqua laser shows, musical fountains, light fantasy, performances.... etc etc... I think it's also a family theme resort.
Shall try to go and then review!
Best of all, I think it's pretty affordable! We're paying like $250 each for transport, pick up from Golden Mile and Hotel, room, daily breakfast. There's also a "wawa" tour thrown in. I've no idea what it is, but the tour consultant mentioned it's something similiar to the local "Duck Tours". Fine with me, locally so expensive, I won't go lor. hahahaha
I'm getting more and more excited and I can't wait for next Wed to hurry up and arrive! The only thing is, the journey on coach is almost 5 hours! Sit till my butt will sore lei. =( But the good thing is, we're leaving early early at 8am. So if all goes well, we should arrive at the hotel at around 2pm. Just nice to check in!
The coach will come pick us at about 3pm. So again, nice timing lei! hahahaha
Oh sheesh... We forgot to request for late check out! =/
Nvm. When the consultant calls us to confirm the booking, we'll tell her, else where are we supposed to go or do after we've checked out and wait for coach?!
Excitment. Ya la. KL. Nothing much, but better than stay in SG!
And I know, go with bestie, sure enjoy wan! The gossips, the eating, the shopping.... whoo hoo!!!

Fight or Flight?
When I got married 3 years ago, it never occur to me that one day, I'll have to be fighting for Hub's attention and love. (Of course, at the back of my mind, it did occur to me that maybe one day I'll be fighting with our kids.. but that's a different story.)
However, it NEVER EVER occur to me that I'll be fighting with OBIL for Hub's attention, love, consideration, commitment, promises and fairness in handling things.
Somehow, along the way of our 3 years together, OBIL seemed to be making more and more demands that requires immediate attention from Hub to see to it. Which Hub will never reject. Like the obedient slave to his master. "Yes, Sir" "Yes, Sir" always the reply. Along with the "Yes, Sir" my resentment towards OBIL grew and grew and grew.
And these 3 years, we bicker and had our fair share of disagreements and tiffs and cold wars, just like any other normal couples. Our major fights are few and far in between, which I do think is a healthy sign and really thank God for that. But! our major fights always revolved around the SAME, ONE topic - OBIL.
I do not understand nor find it acceptable that Hub can allow this 1 man to crept and impose on our marriage, and I've expressed it loud and clear, in fact crystal clear, multiple times.
Yet, it falls on deaf ears. Hub simply took me as a mad dog barking and still find all the demands from the OBIL, reasonable, acceptable, do-able and "not at all an issue".
Yeap. My 1 torn in the flesh that is stuck so deep that, if I leave it inside, it will hurt and spread to other areas, causing even more harm, maybe leaving me to amputate an arm and a leg at the end of the day. Yet, if I take it out, it probably requires a massive operation to just remove this torn with a full GA administered to me.
Tell me, what should I do?
I'm tired. Tired of fighting of the same topic. Tired of not understanding why just can't the grown up OBIL take charge of his own things and leave us alone. Tired of swallowing it down and trying to convince myself that Hub is a good man because he values family ties. (This family ties seems to only apply to OBIL but not to me.) Tired of fighting with Hub.
I'm so tired of fighting... so for once, I'm thinking of taking flight, to run away and to escape from it all and since Hub values his bro more than this marriage, maybe I really should just let Hub go back to his bro and there, we'll both be happier?
At least, I do not have to fight Hub for doing whatever OBIL wants him to do. Hub will no longer have to justify nor attempt to explain nor lie to me anymore.
There, with my flight, what he does for his bro is not my concern and neither will I always feel that resentment for OBIL.
A flight does sound attractive.

I'm sick again. =(
Since last night, I had this nauseous feeling... thought it could be indigestion, hence just went to bed with Hub.
This morning, I still felt the feeling there and it seems to have balled into somewhere between the throat and stomach.
Still din think too much of it and went to work as usual.
Only after I reached office. HA! It became worse. I was burping by the minute and the nauseous just got worse and there's this pulling pain in my abdomen. I knew I'm down liao. Either gastric flu or stomach flu. Confirm wan.
So, went to see doc and as I expected lor. Gastric Flu!
Hai....
Bad timing lei. My 1st paper on Tuesday and now am down again.
After the doc, I came home, bathe and ate my very very light meal of "fishball dong fen soup", can't finished and I zonked off.. waking up at intervals when I felt my back aching and when the phone rang. I did not even have too much energy to answer the texts. Only replied when I felt more alert.
Jeff, so sweet, text to ask if I need food and all and assured me that he'll kept praying for my speedy recovery as well as to do well in exams.
I pretty much zonked off for 5 straight hours. By the time I woke up, was after 5... no appetite but no med if no food. Forced down half a slice of bread after the med. I really had no energy and was behaving like a spinless person, lying EVERYwhere in the house and finally, I found it so damn bloody hot and went to take a shower again. Not to mention, all my interval waking moments were interrupted with the urge to run to the loo! hai...
I suspected I was running a fever but earlier, at the clinic, no temperature... decided to take my own temperature and I was right. 37.8! Went to hunt for fever med and then swallowed it. Head was pounding.. and after the fever med and after the shower, I finally felt more like a person, not so latergic anymore!
Thank God!
I could even stay up to watch the channel 8, drama at 7pm and then now blog. Not bad. Vast improvement to the earlier zombie state.
Now, my stomach is rumbling... I take it as a good sign! When I can feel hungry, it means I am on the road to recovery! Hooray!!
The only catch is, no food at home. =(
But I shall not be picky, just eat something to ease the gastric juices.. else I'll be in a worse situation than I am now.
Most importantly, I now feel much better and am even able to read a little of my text.. to prepare for the Tuesday paper!
My dear friends, pls pls pray for me to fully recover and to do well for my papers, ya?
Big Thanks in advance!!!

Relief!
Good Day!
Total relief after handing in the silly Intl Econs. =)
No use worrying about grades now since I still have another 2 paper to sit for next Tuesday and next next Wednesday. Will only be praying can clear all the modules this sem.
And I made a rush decision to chop off my hair in the morning the moment I reached office. I really have had enough of the wayward curls and messy mob.
Made the appointment and during lunch hour, rushed down to AMK Hub. Within 45 mins, I'm out sporting a new and sassy bob!
Good!
Best of all, Jeff called to offer me a lift to SIM later. I got to reach early since I need to hand in the assignment and also have dinner and then class. So just as well.
I really feel oh-so-relief, relax and good after the online submission of this Intl Econs. Now to work hard for the Managerial Econs and the Communications.
JIA YOU!!!

OOS!
The spree organizer emailed me to tell me that the moleskine 2009 orgainzer I placed an order for is OOS!
Or rather the size I wanted is OOS worldwide - Italy & Asia. =(
And the spree organizer would not be organizing any other Moleskine spree in the near future. So, no choice, I re-ordered the same organizer, but in the larger size. 13 x 21 instead of the 9 x 14.
Well, on the bright side, I will be able to receive it by Mid Nov.

Earliest Christmas Gift!
I am guaranteed of at least 1 Christmas Gift this year.
Sender?
Fancl.
So, of course I went to click to provide details. Now, I shall wait.
I wonder what this mystery gift will be? *excitement* hahahahaha and according to the mailer, it says the mystery gift will be personalized with my name on it!
It's always nice to have a mystery gift, isn't it? The anticipation... hahahahah
Both the lunch time kaki and my guess is that it's going to be an organizer.... Ha! I just ordered one online lei! But oh well... If I really like this organizer, then I may consider giving away the moleskine as a Christmas present? Or... if I don't like it then I will continue to use the moleskine...

I'm down. Officially.
After coughing for more than a week.... I finally went to the doctor this morning.
Doc's verdict.
She: "Some bacterial infection that will get worse. Got to take antibiotics to fight it off. Will give you cough med for the cough and some runny nose tablets."
Me: "But, I don't have a running nose, just nasal congestion and lots of back flow."
She: "Then you take twice a day instead of 3 times a day. It's to prevent the back flow and to clear the congestion as well."
Me: "oh... ok."
She: "Rest for today, tomorrow when you go back to work, should be better."
Me: "Can I have tomorrow off as well? My colleagues are down too."
She: "Ok."
So... yes, I'm down. 2 days MC. Today and tomorrow. Which means I'll have a long weekend, which gives me time to do my stupid Econs individual project.
And my pocket is $41 poorer!
Goodness!

Changing Skincare
I've had enough of the foam forming everyday! It's really a torture in the mornings when I'm so hard pressed for time!
Hence, I've finally made the painful decision to ditch Fancl and move on to something else. I've been trying to find something that's good and priced reasonably... But am not willing to try The Face Shop, Skin Food nor those from Body Shop... Somehow, I don't quite trust their products especially skin care. Cosmetics ok. But definitely not skincare which I rely on heavily. I'll rather pay more and to get better.
Cindy came back and reviewed that her range is good and she really swears by it. So. Ok. I'm changing.
Vitasence.
My new skincare products.
I'm getting the basic skin care set, Cleansing Mousse, Revatalising Tonic (Tonner), Day and Night moisturizer. On top of that, I'm getting an extra bottle of the Total make up remover. Not that Fancl's not good. Just that Fancl's can't remove my Kate eyeliner and MM mascara completely and totally. I've got to use a separate eye make up remover before using Fancl. Troublesome lor!!! I was told that Vita's make up remover works the same way but all traces of make up are removed effortlessly! It's definitely worth my trial then.
Price wise, it may seem more pricy than Fancl now, since I'm going to spend close to $200 on it. But, it's bigger and when compared the size to the dollars of that of Fancl's, it works out to be pretty much the same.
Don't believe? Do a price and size comparision then! Based on the prices that Cindy can get for me at 25% off for Vita and based on 10% off if I were to get from Fancl... and of course I cannot get the exact same measurement.. but roughly it's like the table basing on similiar quantity.
I did the comparision as fair as I could and cost wise, Vita is proven to be much better with about $17 savings just on my basic items alone! And some items are in bigger sizes as compared to Fancl's!
Best of all, Vita even has delivery service lei! All I need to do is ask Cin to key in orders for me online and the items can be delievered the next working day!
The only thing is that coz I am changing everything, so it's about $200 as "start up costs."
But nevertheless, I'm changing and that's it! The table only serves to bring out the contrasts. But if you are a Fancl user, no offense. It's me in wanting a good and cheaper deal. =P
Edited to add...
The highly efficient Cindy has made orders for me and I'm just sitting at home trying to do my econs and waiting for the delivery at the same time.
Pretty excited about it coz the packaging are quite nice and simple. Just white with black text and the bottles are really quite clean and attractive. Rounded and smooth. hee..
Price wise, with 25% is definitely worth getting... slightly cheaper to Fancl too!
My loots this time... 6 items.

Getting organized in 2009.
My first step in getting organized is to get an organizer.
A weekly notebook ought to do the trick!
2009 Soft Weekly Notebook Pocket 12M
144 pages / 9x14cm / acid-free paper
Innovative layout displaying each week of the year across a double page spread. On the left: a week appointments at a glance; on the right: additional space for notes, doodles and anything else you fancy.
Actually, every year w/o fail, I'll get an organizer, but this year, a friend gave me one but I find it rather bulky and hence never really used it.
I'm anal about organizers....
1) Must be either a weekly spread over 2 page or a Monthly thing over 2 page
2) Most preferred size is 18 x 10 or so.
3) Portable
This meets 2 of my criteria.
Hence, I've just made an order for a pocket organizer from Moleskine Asia. er... I joined a spree to get the item. But it's in HKD. After conversion and postage, it's $21. I think quite reasonable since I'll be using it for an entire year.
Eagerly waiting for it... thru the snail mail. =)

Strong Chloe's Virus??
I'm sick....been feeling like this ever since the crab dinner last Saturday (which I haven't had the chance to blog a full entry on it yet).
Started off with a lil' sore throat, then progressively worsen, which gave me a very dry cough that irritates my throat no end and a lil' runny nose.
What amazes me is that I think I caught it from BB Chloe and this little baby here must have caught some mighty potent virus (from where??!) to be able to pass it on to her mommy and me too!
WOW!
And I thought I'm pretty strong... a little baby sure showed me!
But then again, it could that I'm already beginning to be sick just that it became worse after contact with Chloe? Not sure.
But my conclusion is, if just like this and I'm feeling lousy, then it must be bad for BB Chloe and it will be much much worse for the mommy who has to take care of her!
Poor Chloe. Poor Mommy. Poor me.

A lil' cheeky boy and a box of sweet treat
For a long time, we have not been going to CTK (my parish church) for mass, we've been hopping around, frequenting Holy Spirit Church, reason being, going there and getting back by bus is such a breeze, helps that the priests there are also better than my parish.
But, yesterday, we decided to go to CTK and it was good that we went.
1 of our friend was doing the RCIA canteen and we had free breakfast, not supposed to be the way la, since they are raising funds and we should pay for food, but the kind friend decided to blanja us, so be it lo. =)
And also met up with another friend in CTK for mass. Been a long time since we last met and wow. Her lil' boy has grown so much! Very cheeky lil' boy and full of antics!
I guess, at his age, he can't sit still. He's moving and moving and moving. Hence, all the blurred photos. I can't get a decent shot. Up and down the pew he goes.
Soo busy!And when he realised that we are playing with him and then stopped, he'll tease u to continue to play with him.
Very cute! And he was having a good time playing peek a boo with another boy seated behind us.
Towards the end of the mass, he noticed another pregnant lady seated beside us and he went over to pat and sayang her tum tum! So sweet! I guess, it's a good sign so when his mommy is pregnant with a number 2, he'll still be so loving!
A handful now, but he's so cute and adorable! Daddy M is so proud of him, when I told hub that he's so cute, the daddy nodded with a smirk and mumbled a "yes." hee... now come to think of it, not sure if the lil' boy is cuter or the daddy is cuter! ha...

Studies
I realized for this semester, I did not blog much about my studies. Maybe it's the novelty of blogging is starting to wean off, maybe my life is such a bore and hence so predictable that I have nothing to update or maybe, my studies is such a mess that I'm too ashamed to blog.
Whatever the reason, I'm going to blog on my studies, at least I will try to..
Took 3 modules this sem, 2 Econs (Managerial and International) and a Communications module (which is a total fluke! and I simply hate the tutor)... Will be having 2 exams and 1 individual project at the end of this sem.
Got terrible grades on the Communications TMA, which I still think its the damn tutor's fault. And there goes my hope for an "A" for this module, not even sure if I can get a "B"! *angry*
Did reasonably well for the Managerial Econs quiz and group project, if I can continue to do so well for exams, B is not an issue.
Internation Econs. Ah. That IS the headache that I am facing right now.
How am I going to produce an Economics Report on "Wheather or not should ASEAN have a common currency"? DAMN. AND research materials are to date all the way from 1997!!!!!!!
I am soooo dead. D.E.A.D
