going back & buffet

im going back home nxt weekend! wheee!!!

but its just from fri evening to sunday night. im gonna bring my laptop back and hopefully it can get reformatted. i brought it to get reformatted at digital mall, but it was RM80 which i find rather steep (coz im cheap like that), so i shall bring it home with me. if i recall correctly, it only costs about RM40 at saberkas. hahaha

on saturday im also gonna get a followup jab at forgot-wad-name-clinic with my sister and i have a dentist appointment at 2pm.

i wanted to go to the dentist because my mouth has been tasting/smelling slightly odd in the mornings. like when you have a cavity. so i suspect i have one somewhere although nothing hurts. just in case ;)

reb and i went for the buffet @ tenji last night.
we arrived at nearly 9 and were informed that after 9, there would be a buy one free one offer. so we waited until 9 and there were soo many other ppl doing the same thing too. haha... cheapo malaysians. its 88 per pax, but after including tax and wadever else they included, it was $102.10. and since it was buy one free one, it cost $102.10 for both of us. thankgoodness there was the buy one free one deal. hahahah...

the quality of the sashimi is not that amazing and i really wish the sashimi and sushi was colder (although the plates were placed on ice, the sashimi was exposed and therefore not cold). but other than that, it was awesome :D

i especially love the coconuts and you've gotta save a whole section of your tummy for the gazillion desserts! its got more cakes and desserts than your average bakery!

we were soo full last night that after dinner we just had to have a walk, so we walked around our condo while chatting. it was really nice, it reminded me of how much i loved walking in the UK, coz of the temperature last night and also the air was really clean (there was a huge downpour in the afternoon). we walked for like an hour and i didnt even realize how tired my legs were until i was back in my condo. lol.

ge dong dong

hello stranger.

its been over a month since i last blogged, so whats changed since then?

nothing much really. im living practically paycheck to paycheck. ok fine, things wouldnt be soo dire if i ate a little less extravagantly, but hey, this tummy didnt inflate on its own. wtf

oh, and im reading again. yay for me! its a science fiction novel adapted from a video game. i think the series is called warhammer. my colleague warned me that it be all about war and lots of fighting, so i had reservations about it, but its not as bad as he made it sound. its like most fantasy books and they all have wars anyway. cant think of any that i've read that has absolutely zero killing in it. war is a very basic ingredient of fantasy really.

work wise i cant say much due to the very nature of my field, but i've settled in ok. well at least i think i have. i've come across some very interesting cases, but unfortunately i cant discuss them -_-"

moving on...

things arent quite so stable on the accommodation front. the nice, easy going, friendly landlady i thought her to be turned out to be quite the opposite. so tough luck. oh well, hopefully things will get better around here.

and health wise, i think im quite heaty. which annoys me because i think i drink tonnes more water than alot of people, yet i get heatiness. what is this nonsense. i've currently got 4 ulcers in my mouth. one of which is on my tongue, a result of a painful chomping moment.

tomorrow is gonna be quite an eventful day. i've got a farewell party of a colleague's to attend and after that, im going to my friend's house warming party. ah... i miss house parties. eugene used to have them nearly weekly. lol!

but considering that this party will be at a family home and the list of invitees has quite a few lawyers, i think this party will be considerably more toned down. (i just made you wonder how wild the previous house parties i attended were didnt i! suckers! =p)

and i guess thats about all i can think of now.

funny how law is supposed to make me a better thinker, but once i get off work, its like my brain just refuses to function anymore. -___-"

ohai

i've got myself a mini shelf on my table, a cushion on my chair and a kettle since my last post, so thats good :)

also i go down to my uncle's place every weekend to collect food from my gran, so thats good too. beat that sucker (to OBA)!

i've been trying to use maybank2u, but its so mafan. i thought i was all set to pay online after i set up the account, but now it looks like i have to go to a branch to register my mobile number coz they require a new TAC number that will be sent to your phone every single time u do a new transaction. bah!

oh and if you're cheap like me but still wanna have your little luxuries (and are in KL), you can check out these websites. they're like groupon in the UK.

http://mydeal.com.my

http://www.groupsmore.com

http://milkadeal.com

these are the ones i know of. if there are more, do let me know!

and yes, this is why i wanted to activate my maybank2u =p

lazy tuesday

its been a long time since i've had a lazy day with just my laptop.

in fact, its such a lazy day, im too lazy to head out to get myself proper lunch. its ok, i'll get by with bak kua and a cereal bar ;)

i've been working for 2 weeks now and i'd like to think that im doing ok. other matters have also resolved themselves. i've moved into my new place with minor hiccups, but like i said, they're only minor. and my long awaited box has finally arrived in kuching.

as it so happened, the 1st-7th was declared a holiday for my firm, so i'll have some time to fly back to kuching and get my box sorted out before going to Singapore with my family. perfect!

im glad all that has sorted itself out so nicely. now those pimples on my face can stop multiplying. wtf

elsewhere there's been a bit of drama, but i guess that cant be helped seeing as its me. fml

oh, anyone know where to download foreign movies and series with subtitles? i tried DLAzn but not all have subtitles. dammit. so please share some links with me! i wanna make max use out of this super expensive unifi. LOL

on a more random note, i couldnt sleep well the 1st night i moved, even though i was really tired. so that had me worried that i wouldnt be able to sleep well in this room. but last night i was even more exhausted and fell asleep easily, so lets hope i have no more sleeping problems here ;)

im returning to kuching later tonight, then leaving for SG on the 3rd in the morning. so i guess there wont be much time to hangout with the lodgians :(

i'd upload the pics of my room, but after a brief search in my laptop bag, i dont think i brought the what-u-call-it (cable?) to upload pics from my phone into the pc. oh wells.

oh how i miss shopping online. i wish banking online in malaysia were as easy as with lloyds and paypal. but i guess its also a good thing its not, since i have the lower end of a chambies pay in KL. i hate u jo. hahahahahah

i think i need a shelf to put onto my table. for food. coz im a hoarder like that. and a cushion for my chair coz i sit cross-legged and my ankles are knobbly like that. ah a table lamp would be nice too. but we'll see about that coz i just realized i dont think i'll be doing much work at home anyway. i thought i could do without a kettle coz the landlady will have a way of storing water (like how all houses boil water then pour them into jugs for storage/pouring) but i guess she doesnt. so if she still hasnt by the time i come back after CNY, i guess i'll get my own kettle and put it in my room. unfortunately there seems to be only one power point in my room and i dont wanna overload it. ah well, we'll see, we'll see.

other than that and some groceries, i think im set :)

someone has a job!

and that someone is me! no prizes for guessing. too bad.

anyways, im bored and miserable in my uncle's condo so i thought i'd blog since this poor site is just about abandoned anyway.

i start work on monday and while i really cant wait to start, im feeling nervous as well. there are soo many things i havent settled yet. first and foremost being my accommodation. i've found a place to stay but havent paid deposit yet. my paranoid parents have me afraid that its a scam >.<
also i cant move in till the 1st nxt month, which happens to fall on a tues. so i'll have to try to ask my landlady if she'll let me move in on sunday instead coz tues is a working day and i have no idea what time i'll finish work (im hoping i dont have to work past 9pm most days).

until then, i'll just have to stay at my uncle's not entirely pleasant condo. and take a cab to and from work everyday. oh did i mention, i'll be working somewhere in mont kiara. the only way to get there is by car. so cab it is. well, there is a bus that goes there, but the stop is eons away from where i work, i'll have to get a cab anyway. wtf
which is why i really wanna get that accommodation that im looking at.

then there's the issue of my BOX. its still not home! its been nearly half a year! all my working clothes (although not that i had that many) are in there. so what im using now is a hastily acquired collection of working attire. when i was in kuching it was not too bad because i mostly wore my sister's working clothes, but now i can no longer "borrow" from her. so i would dearly love to combine my stuff in the box with my hasty collection or my co-workers will quickly come realize what a limited collection i have ("didnt she already wear that twice last week??"). wtf

ok, enough whining.
