This is an everyday tale of rich people. Enjoyable. At Page 53....keep you posted once I finish this book.

Grey's anatomy

I've been glued to the pc...since purchasing the entire season two of Grey's Anatomy. Woohooo,
okay before you people think it's the Mcdreamy pull, it isn't. Althought Demsy is really a dream isn't he? It airs on NTV7 or something every Monday. But I'm too impatient to wait weekly for each episode. As a result, I've completed the entire viewing and now feel.....like I should really get a life:)

Take a PCM and sleep it off

Health is wealth. Following a bout of food poisoning ( chicken foldover to be avoided for a long long time to come ) I have found self weak and listless. Of course it doesn't help when you have to also THINK and write string of words convincing self and others you actually know what you're babbling about.

I'm a firm believer in avoiding medicine when ill. Unless of course you're a patient in which case you are to follow the doctor's order to the letter. Because they've studied long and hard hours to earn the power to do just that.

Feeling under the weather

What I will buy

This power house voice is something to listen to. She's Sabahan...part filipino and I've heard her life before. Just got an email re Mia's new single.

I have been staring at the PC screen since 9:48am this morning. It's been a trying and tedious time for me. I sometimes feel like I'm masquerading as a person who should know her way around the pc. Have you ever, typed midway only to have your fat ( optional ) fingers hit some blasted key....and then ( get this ) the entire page realigns itself in some weird gawd-forsaken way?

Just a few minutes ago...the unthinkable happen. I now know....toes can be devious appendages too. ( Listen up and take note those of you with wiggly toes ). My left toe hit the off button which is strategically placed way way below the pc....and just for a moment ( where I thought my life had ended ) the screen suddenly went blank. And all I could do was hyperventilate for a good 10 seconds before switching the damm machine on again.

And so here I am ( a survivor ) picking up the bits and pieces and getting along with life as best she can. I'm midway through the corrections I'm meant to be doing. All them ticks and annotations to take note. I haven't showered ( which shows some dedication to getting down to work ) and I haven't been out of the house today.

A glimpse of the future

Life is to be fortified by many frienships. To love, and to be loved is the greatest happiness.

Here's to a lifetime of happiness. Congratulations to two friends...who will be joined in matrimony by the end of 2006.

A relief?

Japanese princess gives birth to heir. The question is which Japanese princess. Here are two women with different destinies. Harvard graduate Masako gave up public life when she failed to produce an heir to the Japanese throne. She's a proud mother of 4 year old Princess Aiko but despite producing a healthy baby girl , having failed to produce an obligatory son and heir, she is seen as a failure. What we forget to see is a brilliant woman, who gave up a promising diplomatic career to marry her prince.

Princess kiko , married to the second son has managed to resolve the succession issue in Japan by producing a son. Does this take the pressure off Masako? Will she finally be rid of her guilt? Only time will tell.

Congatulations Princess Kiko.

We celebrated a wedding of a dear friend on Sunday.The theme was blue and from afar, as we walked towards the canopies, I spotted the blue and white theme. The wedding group was also appropriately decked up in the same colour theme. They wore similar batik pattern clothes . After the obligatory smiles and nods to unfamilliar faces, we were edged towards a sweet-looking girl, who introduced herself as the groom's sister.What a relief, we cheerfully relieved ourself of the wedding gift which at this time had started to feel heavier by the minute. No time was wasted as we made a bee-line for the food section. Impeccable timing, the wedding couple arrived as we finished our lunch. The emcee announced the arrival and we were then greeted with the deafening ( yet strangely soothing ) sound of the kompang. Congratulations:) 

YUMMY!

Just because your breath will reek of petai for hours after the meal doesn't mean you should deprive self of this wonderful concoction here. Delicious, simple ( one would presume ) and on the table in 30 minutes. Its so easy to impress family and friends. Provided you've ascertain their preference to petai a week before. Otherwise dare to be different and convert those NON-believers out there.

What Price Vice?

Low fat, reduced calorie and sugar free. Because you like to live a boringly safe life.

Delicious by Ms Read

Ms Read 's "Delicious" is simply that....delicious. As you walk into its warm interior you feel welcomed. There is an abundance of the "feel-good" factor.

My favourite dish would have to be the duck spaghettini with a sprinking of garlic. It's light and as you chew the garlicky flavour starts to come in. The duck pieces must be marinated in some sweet sauce because it tastes heavenly sweet. Whoever thought a sweetish tasting duck would enhance pasta so well. For straightfoward good food, you can't go wrong. Forget your usual cream-laden carbonara sauce. I'll give it 4 stars ( let's just assume for 2 minutes I'm a famous food critic .)
