Bowling

We felt like a pro in the virtual bowling Wii game and decided to showcase our invincible skills in the real bowling games. So on Thurs night, we went bowling at Riverside.

I got a strike on my 1st try of game 1. How good was that! But Life works in a strange way in that the good and bad always even out like how ying and yang works and how balance sheets always balance. Okie.. in plain text, something bad usually follows after a good thing. I pulled my BUTT muscle for that score, just three seconds after the game started! T_T

Because of the pain in my butt and thigh, I now walk like a goose. And climbing staircase has never been more challenging! People suggested that i go get myself a massage which would cost me $40.

It's not the money that bothers me but the whole situations. First, I paid to bowl, then got myself injured and now, I have to pay someone to massage my butt? Hmmm... One of the little ironies of Life.....


As for the bowling game, we concluded that it's better that we stick to Wii. We really suck in real life. What's more, the worst that can happen in a Wii game is having a few swollen fingers, a swore arm and broken voices for excessive pressing of the controller, arm moving and screaming. Wait, that doesn't sound very appealing either huh....

Hmmm... I better stick to something less physical... like eating.... ^^

Forever in our hearts

We miss you, Meow Meow...

Meow Meow not only behaved the same way as Husky but also suffered the same fate as her *sob sob*

Although it has been a week, we still miss her. A lot. The pink fluffy ball she played with is still at the exact place she left it. Her 'house' is still untouched, just the way it was before she left.

The only difference is that Meow Meow is no longer around to light up our lives. No more kitty climbing up my legs as if they were tree trunks, messing up the living room as if twister had just swept by, wrestling with a scorpion,& finally killing it, showing pitiful face and meow-ing at meal times....

Rest in Peace my cute little Meow...

We must cherish our loved ones every second, every minute for we never know when goodbye is.....

I need a Change

It's that time of my life again.

I was at the very same crossroads just a few months ago. Sometimes you think you have moved but when u break things apart and analyse them carefully, you realise that you probably haven't changed much. Probably you have developed something a little different but overall, not much has changed. You are still in your comfort zone, not wanting to change much because of fears. Taking a little step at one time and when a little something happen the opposite way, you panic and take a huge step back. We are fearful of regrets, fearful of making mistakes, Fearful of having to start all over again. FEAR is the thing that prevent us from changing.


Back to what I said early about me standing at the crossroads. I need someone to tell me what to do. I need advices. I need words of assurance. I need support. I need to know what I need to do. HELP!

I'm going to my hairdresser this weekend. Can somebody tell me what hairstyle would suit me? *headache*

2005 - in HK

2006 - Melbourne

2007 - Beijing

2008 - Melbourne

Can you spot any dramatic difference in my hairstyle?

I bet that some of you wouldn't even notice the changes in the length and colour of my hair!

Raya Fun

Am struggling to keep myself awake now. Should go to bed but have to leave in 5 mins to fetch my brother from the airport. Damn Air Asia for not being on time again!

In two days of raya holiday, I put on unknown kg of weight and not sleeping enough. Had been going to bed at 3am and waking up at 7 or 8am to start raya visiting. Am actually very happy that my life will be back to 'normal' from tomorrow onwards. Can't imagine how crappy I would look if this kind of lifestyle continues ;p

Eating frenzy is over. Time to cut curry, masak merah and frizzy drinks from my diet for a while.

Gotta rush to airport now and hope to be back in a flash to catch up on my sleep.... *yawn*

Busy Weekend

Twins will always be twins. Not only do Jane and I were born on the same day but we also had a little gathering at our place on the same day. In different countries though...

We didn't plan together. We found out about it when I mentioned to Jane that we would have a potluck at my place on Saturday. Then she screamed "ME TOO!" What a coincident!

Dad and Mum were away from town at the weekend and I took this rare chance to demolish my mum's empire - her years of creation; her collection of food in the kitchen. Like Jane, I kinda regretted for making myself so busy and exhausted! I actually spent two days tidying up the kitchen! Yup, that's how much things we have in that little kitchen alone. I couldn't even bring myself to think about cleaning the whole house. It will be a nightmare for sure!

In between, I had to get ready for the potluck too. Hundreds of recipes went through my mind. I really wanted to turn those gourmet meals I've imagined all these years into reality but due to time constraint and my limited cooking skills, I made Coleslaw and Sago Milk. They are not as easy as expected OK. A lot of time and skills are still required. I slided my fingers into the blade when I did the carrot *ouch* [got my blood & sweat!]. Also, I manually extracted the coconut milk with hands.. *hard work*

I almost gave up half way through the cleaning and cooking. Doing two things at one time was really not fun! Why would anyone bring this onto oneself? Because...... to achieve many things in one go! Greedy but the end-result is satisfying provided you do not quit half way. And, Jenn is no quitter! :p

I did manage to shrink my mum's empire a bit. Found many gems during the demolition process. And we all had a lot of fun (& food) last night :) Just look at the food we had. It's making me hungry all over again ;p

Looks like somebody is hungrier than I'm

My Hobby. My Passion.

I don't know about other people but I find supermarkets an exciting place, like kids finding playground a place full of fun....

A local supermarket near our apartment in Melbourne

I visit a supermarket even though I've nothing to buy. Weird I know. It's like a hobby, a passion of mine. People can understand if it's window-shopping for clothes. But this??? Nobody can understand. Wait, probably my mum can ;p It's just pure fun to check out what's new, what's popular, what should've been a hit but not and what's on offer.

Jane hates going to the supermarkets with me because I ALWAYS take ages to come out from the maze. Hehe, I get lost easily in mountains full of all kind of interesting products from all over the world. How can one not when there are so much to see and think?!

'Just what do you do in the supermarket?' Jane asked me when we were in Melbourne. 'You just went to one yesterday, why do u want to go again?' 'Huh? You have things to buy, AGAIN?!'.... Shhhhh, Jane, you are distracting me! You asked too many questions! ;p

Supermarket is like a Disneyland to me. I touch everything I see and examine stuff with interesting labels/packaging. It's fun I tell u. I read the labels and imagine how it would taste in real life. Then I do a little modifications of mine in my mind - what would go well with it, what else to add in to give it an extra taste, when to eat it, how to eat it.

With things I see, I make up a 5 course meal in my mind. I do sound like a very pro chef, don't I? Sadly, in real life, I am not a very good cook BUT I'm a very good eater. I just love to eat :)

Very often, I stand there with my mouth watering, dreaming about eating the stuff I just make up. Hey, I get to eat 5 course meal without paying anything and what's more, I don't have to worry about gaining weight :)

Ahhh... I kill two birds with one stone! Wanna join me next time? Creative imagination required though :)

Cherished Moments

Family trip to Melbourne was great. Wish it never had to come to an end *dreaming*

When people asked me what we did during the trip, I found myself speechless and thinking very very hard til my brain hurt.

We didn't have a fixed itinerary like we had for other trips. No plans, no rush basically. Sometimes, we didn't do much in a day. Everyday, we would go somewhere for a stroll. When mum got tired, we would rest in our apartment or a cafe/restaurant. Then we would go somewhere and when mum got tired, we'd rest again. Then out and rest again.....

I would say this trip is about family and FOOD. Lots and lots of food. Like, eating 7 times a day! From sunrise til sunset. Each time mum felt tired, we would find a cafe/restaurant and had something to eat. Anything.

I ate so much til I puked (what a sinful act!), had upset stomach and lost my appetite. Despite all these conditions, I continued to eat. It was simply not right to sit there and watch my family enjoying food!! It was crazy but heaps of fun!

All my family members love food and it only makes sense that we spend quality family time by doing our most favourite activity :) Now I know why I love and enjoy food so much. The mystery is finally unveiled!

Some of my favourite holiday pictures:
