Pink shoes for little girls

The niece is visiting. This year she is chatty and has picked pink as her new favourite colour. These are her shoes. She has rejected her older orange shoes...claiming " these shoes make my feet stinky".

Other priceless gems

" Nobody in Singapore puts cream". ( This is in answer to her grandmother's query re cream on face )

She continued on...but PorPor ( granny in singapore ) puts lipstick

"You have curly hair, you are old ". ( Directed to a very unhappy granny with curly hair)

" kanang puteh" Her very own version of kacang puteh.

" Carrie's hair is a little bit short and a little bit long". ( Carrie is her best friend in preschool)

" Dun feed me I am not a baby" ( when grandma wanted to speed the eating process up by feeding her)

" We are going to be late for church" ( as she sat in the hall waiting for everyone else to be ready)

" Hurry up the wedding has already started" ( Failing to understand the concept of a Malaysian Malay Wedding where time is very fluid)

Many more.....to come. ( When I can remember them)

A Blessed Christmas:)

 Christmas is not just about presents and christmas trees and snow. It marks the birth of Christ the Lord. And it brings joy and hope. A blessed Christmas and a Merry New Year 2010:)

Christmas Reading

Cecelia Ahern is such a good writer. She's not even thirty years old. And she's pretty too. ( which goes against the Adda-rule of "only ugly writers are capable of writing good stories) Adda is a friend from primary school days who is generally quiet and observes things happening around her. I should hate her really. ( C. Ahern not Adda ) She is everything I would like to be. But I don't. In fact I think she is absolutely brilliant and I look forward to all her books.

The Book Of Tomorrow is my Christmas Break reading material. Am making the book last ....a long time....by reading really slowly

Fendi and toes

LIme green is not a good color I know. I will get around to changing the colour before Christmas....hopefully.

The day I met Jimmy Choo

I met Dato Jimmy Choo three days ago. Spotted him at Starhill Plaza with two other friends having coffee. He looks ( see picture above ) exactly like his pictures. I don't own a pair of Jimmy Choos so conversation couldn't very well have gravitated to his lovely shoes. (which I have never tried on personally. This is the fault of the snooty sales persons at the shop in KLCC. ) He stood up immediately walked away from the coffee table and shook hands. Such a gracious man. And as you can see from the picture above , agreed to have his picture taken with me. I regret I didn't wear a nicer outfit:(

PLeasant surprise

I was greeted with the sight of stalls with colourful dresses en route to the mamak stall for my maggi goreng. Disappointing actually. There were less than 10 in total. Hair clips, totes, hats, soap, kiddy toys, some Sarawakian traditional fare  and iron-on cartoon characters. And....I left my book " the inheritance" possibly at the Mamak stall. Only realised it when I got home and wanted to know what else Bramble ( main character, one of the three daughters)...would do now that felicity ( another daughter) had come with the horse that she saved , (Merlin.) *deep sigh* So I will have to go to the Mamak stall today. Hands up, who thinks it will still be there!

Put on a happy face

I have finally finished uploading ALL the tugasan for the penilaian tahap kecekapan. ( I wonder whether the organisers have their own penilaian). Quite a few hiccups especially ( as it almost always happens) nearer the dateline. The complains range from something as constantly annoying as being unable to view the assignment files let alone upload them to slight minor ( but painful) changes to the tasks given.

It has been a humbling experience for me. And I am very glad I've finished. Have a good weekend folks. Mine will be GLORIOUSLY free of PTK-related tasks

Thank you Borders

Remember my earlier post re Nina Bell..and what a wonderful writer she is? ( Please scroll down if you missed it.) Since raving about her, I've googled her...and found the title of her only other book. They didn't have it at the big bad wolf book sale ( I know I know...but I was hoping it would be there). Book Excess at Amcorp Mall didn't have it either. MPH Mid Valley didn't have it. Self Service inquiry on pc in shop showed " o in stall...out of stock. So today, we went to Borders at the Gardens...AND I FOUND THE BOOK!!! YAHOOOOO

New obsession

I have 30 baju kurungs. ( Maybe a little more but 30 sounds like a good number to round it up to). AM currently in search of the perfect Baju Kurung made in cotton with teeny weeny flowers like the one in the picture above. Picture taken at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman during the pre Raya shopping bazaar. The closest thing I saw cost RM 369. *swoon* I was half tempted to tell the lady off for daylight robbery. So no, I didn't buy that and so am still on the look out for one.

being on call...and not being called at all. Or even better, if you can SOLVE all the cases coming in with no hesitation. Nobody dies on you. The on call team consist of everyone you like and love working with. Your patients live and walk out of the hospital. The patients' relatives also think you're doing a good job.

Amcorp Mall

I took this picture as I waited patiently to be let in. The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is on. Last day today. Small tip, you may not find too many books left if you head there today. My trip was disappointing. I left with only 6 books. Didn't fancy the venue very much. It was stuffy and the  lay-out of the place was odd. We were forced to go one direction and I felt there were less books compared to the last sale. Of course it didn't help that I arrived with a nagging headache having cried my eyes out the night before watching my sister's keeper.

I want Nina Bells' book " The Inheritance" , and I suspect nothing else will do.

Finished!!!

Where have you been all this while Nina Bell?? That is what I thought when I was midway reading this book. Never judge a book by its cover. How true, how true. I've seen this book in the chicklit section at TIME bookstore for a few months now. The cover doesn't appeal to me. ( It still doesn't so I am using the present tense). Now that I've finished the book, I agree with the title. What a waste, I could have been introduced to Bell's wonderful writing earlier had I chosen to ignore the book cover and gone for content instead. My mistake folks. And this is something I do not want happen to you. So please go right out the door now and buy a copy yourself. You will not regret it. I promise you.
