2 More Nights ~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~................to our holiday!!

4 nights in Barcelona
4 nights in London

Wish we could spend more time, but the Malaysian ringgit does not stretch that far...

Can't wait!!

New Mobile

Waaay overdue, but I just had to post the photo of my pretty new mobile, complete with the Swarovski strap I made myself. (this was taken in my office, hence the laptop. I make lots of notes with different coloured pens, just to keep it interesting - now who says I'm boring???!!)

The conservative side of me thought it was too Paris Hilton at first but AK convinced me to go along with it. Now we're pretty attached and I've got strangers complimenting me on it!! :)

Celebration!

Dinner at Zaika, the new North Indian restaurant in Miri. Prices were Golden-Triangle-like.



Guess we won't be visiting here so often whilst we still got our business trips to KL...

Birthday pressies to myself - Mulberry Bayswater and LeSportSac bags. LeSportSac has proved itself already during our trip to Cambodia; the Bayswater is gonna rock it somewhere else :)

Enough is Enough

I'm sick and tired of everything. How does one end something like this???!!

I'm sick of being taken for granted.

I'm sick of the frustration, the bellowing sessions.

I want what I want.

This has been long enough.

I deserve better, damnit.

I deserve to be able to look forward to early morning weekends.

I deserve not to be judged just because I want to buy a pretty bag or a food processor.

I used to get away with anything I wanted.

I deserve to be able to eat spicy food whenever I feel ike it and not only have it as a big favour to me. I deserve to eat Indian or Malay food without a shred of guilt whatsoever.

I deserve to not have to clean up after anybody but myself.

I deserve to be taken on vacation planned by someone else rather than myself.

YES I DO.

And We're Almost Done!

I really have been spending as if all the oil sold at $150 per barrel was all mine. Here's a roundup of the stars of 2008:

This year alone, I bought:

1) A gorgeous Zara handbag that got stolen in the end
2) 2 sets of 500-threadcount bed sheets
3) A little black dress from Zara
4) Indulged pretty well in Cambodia
5) Paying more than 30k for renovations of my place in Penang for which I have yet to find a tenant
6) COOKBOOKS! - Here we go:

- Falling Cloudberries by Tessa Kiros
- Apples for Jam by Tessa Kiros
- A Year in My Kitchen by Skye Gyngell
- The Wisdom of Chinese Cooking - Grace Young
- 5 Spices, 50 dishes
- Lemongrass and Lime
- How to be A Domestic Goddess
- Harumi's Japanese Home Cooking
- Baking: From My Home to Yours - Dorie Greenspan
- Dim Sum and the Art of the Chinese Tea Lunch - Ellen Leong Blonder

- New Jeans that got too small

Notice I prefer books by women? *Grin*

Hiya

Have not been updating at all - just no mood.

So there.

He he just blew a big chunk of $$$$$$$$........you'll see on what.

Fingers remain crossed.

Muahahahah

Finally!

Finally America has woken up and done the right thing.

But somehow I get the feeling that it's not all that it's hyped up to be.

History, indeed. And how priviledged we are to be able to witness it.

Obama '08!

And hoepfully into 09', '12 and beyond.

When the dust (or should I say glitter?) settles, there is SO much work to be done.

But we do have to believe first, don't we?

That was how FDR convinced everyone that the Great Depression could be overcome.

I wish you well, President Obama. May you see us through this mess.
