Steroid Fears

 I was happily gulping my acne treatment pills for the past one month....until something went wrong;

• My appetite has gone BIG...i'm hungry most of the time.

• My backbone starts aching even im on flats and my knee cap is killing me.

• My face isnt improving

• My boobs forgotten to blot before menses. This is an important sign as i know when i should be ready.

• I gained like nobody's business. I look like a HULK in my old t-shirts. The buttons on my pants almost flew off...

• I'm not the sweaty kinda person. I hardly sweat...But...i was sweating profusely...most of the time..

This is when i decided to google the medicine i have been prescribed.

Hannah & Asher

Yesterday i went over to Shern's house for a visit. I feel pretty bad for not attending her full moon party as she is one of my best girls.

Asher is so big now...his cheeks are like gold fish... soooo cute!~...He looks exactly like Marcus.
Hannah...girl will always be a girl...very naughty. Lotsa temper...blame it on the hormones or the genes (just like her mom..opss..!!).

I had so much fun babysitting them...and i'm good....must be the experiences gained while taking care of my nieces more than 15 years ago.* Pat pat on my own back*....Ahemm....  Shern joked that maybe she should hire me. Hmmm it is ExPensIve to hire me as a nanny-u know???

These babies...they are so cute and innocent, that you sometimes wonder, what's in their mind?what are they thinking?

Hannah & Asher would be mesmerized whenever i carry them, especially Hannah girl. She would stare...and stare ....and stare....without moving...hardly blinking......That Scares me!!! I keep asking their mummy if this is normal. I mean, is this their hobby....just staring at people's face...without moving?  Seriously, it is Spooky!~

At one point of time, I thought .....*fingers crossed...toes too...*.....she's dead with her eyes open...........(ssssHHhsssHH....don't their her mummy)....Once I confirmed that she is still breathing.....her mommy quickly grab her handphone camera, then start snapping away....she claimed that this is a rare sight. LOL. There she goes, having lotsa pictures of Hannah and my boobs. She's still tiny and fragile, so i have to carry her close to me...there is where my boobs get into the picture. COvered...they are covered.of course i'm with my clothes on, please...

Another scary incident will be....Asher forgets to wake up
Both babies will normally sleep after taking milk,then wakes up after 1-2 hours (max) for milk. On that particular day, I fed Asher milk (from the milk bottle...not the other source) then tapped him to sleep. Mommy was very greatful that day because he slept quite soundly, so there was only Hannah left to handle.After 2 hours, mommy prepared milk...waiting for Asher to be cranky and start yelling for milk....but he didnt. After 4 hours, he was still sleeping. Mommy said he should be hungry by then, so she gently woke him up then went over to the kitchen to heat up and bring the milk......there...he is back to sleep. Mommy started to question me ," LWL, what did you feed my son? Did u drug him?"

We had fun laughing at Hannah's hypnotized look and Asher-being-drugged- incident. I had a wonderful time catching up with my buddy and hopefully i was being helpful there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PYONG!!!

Recollecting my Broken Heart

Remember i told u abt that f6 senior...who wants to keep in touch with me...??

3 weeks ago....he called to ask for X's number... they know each other back then in school. they were in the same committee for a society. ( X is a girl)

so i sms X to ask her if it is ok for me to give him. She didnt reply. that guy....sounded like there is something urgent.... within 30 min.. he sms me twice...and called once...asking me to send him her number...coz he wants to call her b4 11pm that day. I asked him why the hurry?.....he said.. just to keep in touch. I thought maybe he doesnt want to tell a 'stranger'  what is the actual reason...btw...who am i to ques him rite? since so urgent... so i gave him lo

That night... X sms me... saying something like this .."" zzzzz u already given him my number."

ok..that is done....

tonite....i got an sms from X. saying

" anyway, weiling, im very disappointed of what you have done but Thanks for reminding me what kind of friend you are to me."

i replied, " what have i done?"

she said, "you gave someone, my number, who you pestered you and also whom u claimed to be weird without my consent"

i said, " S lo. i told u already wor. he said want to keep in touch and need it urgently dat day. if giving ur number to ur old fren is hurting u, im truly sorry." (S is that senior guy)

"actually i felt upset of the way u handle it, as u knew that he is weird but yet you gave him my number just to stop him calling u . i would really appreciate, that u get my approval before giving it, or give me their number instead.

"i feel weird coz we've nv spoken to each other b4. i nv tot that he'l stop calling me after getting ur number. if he is bothering u, let him know"

....then no more sms......

I'm terribly sad after the first sms. after long consideration..i was driving at that time....im wrong coz i gave him her number before she said  yes....although he sounded macam emergency. maybe that S is calling her everyday to disturb...dats why she is angry.....so i sms S,

" hey do u mind doing me a favor? would u not call X so often? she's not comfortable with that. hope u understand."

That S.. i think he also suddenly got shocked or what....he replied in 4 sms

" hi, i called her the day u gave me her num. then on wed, i msg her, she dint reply. then fri , i call her, she din answer. but she msg me and said not to call her."

" i replied her n said im sori 4 making her feel uncomfortable. i told her i just ott of kiping in touch. i told her i will stop msging and calling her. tht was last week.

"from last week til now, i never msg or call her n i dont intend 2 anymore. also thats why i stop calling and msging u coz u 2 mite  not lilke it. until u say its ok"

" until u say its ok 2 call n msg u. then only  i'l call n msg u . if u also dun feel comfortable, then i will never call n msg u anymore. im sory 4 troubling u "

so, since she only picked up his call once.....WHAT IS THE BIG FUSS abt????? my mistake is giving him her number ..NEED TO BE SO SERIOUS MEH???

Certain phares really break my heart are....

"Thanks for reminding me what kind of friend you are to me."

&

"u knew that he is weird but yet you gave him my number just to stop him calling u"

What she doesnt know is that im very lonely over here in KL.I will be delighted if someone were to call me everyday just for a chat. At least, i know i have a friend who cares (whether or not that is the truth).I don't mind him pestering me at all.

X used to be my best friend...I didnt know my impression for her is worse than a friend. If someone did something intentionally like abv, that person is not your friend anymore. I'm just so sad and disappointed ( yes, i am also disappointed at her) that i fail as an individual, leaving all the wrong impressions...and fail to be even  her friend. 

Is this also a reason why I can't mixed well with D's friends too?Am i really a failure?

Spanish Buffet @ Neo Damansara

Puasa month will be a month for buffet. Just found out an outlet at Neo Damansara serving spanish buffet. You might want to try it out. They are having opening promotion, where you enjoy 50% discount. It's only about RM30 per person.

Thai SeaFood @ Ulu Langat

I have been having cravings for Thai Food last weekend.
It is time to pay this place a visit. Operated by Siamese.

The man-made lake is surrounded by the restaurant. Here you will have fresh fish from the pond.


First booth...thai dessert....yay!~ Mango sticky rice!~ RM8 per bowl

The BBQ corner. Look at the size of the crab.

Their raw materials....mini market...


While waiting for the food to arrive..... saw them netting fish...


Fresh Japanese snails...


The moment i saw this .. i was like... Gosh....must be a lot of nyamuk. Surprising there wasnt any. We were there until 8++

FOOD FOOD

TOdy (RM5)

yes, they serve home brewed tody. Nice~ Nicest toddy ever..no sour taste...no alcohol smell....sweet like coconut

Seafood tomyam (RM18)

The taste should be better if more chillies were added. What's in there?? 3 Prawns, sotong and lala. Maybe small bits and pieces of fish.

Deep fried vege (RM 8)

This is so crispy and yummy. You can eat it like snacks...it is like those freeze dried mushroom in watson's. Of course....this is oily.
.
BBQ Japanese Snails (RM12)
Never tried ....first time eating...just like any snails meat..chewy chewy...not much taste but it is fresh ( of course it is fresh...fresh from the water ma...*slaps myself)....but i think it would be better if it is cooked with gravy. I'm also a lazy person... lazy to poke them out...one by one...


Salted egg york + fried sotong (RM 15)
Must eat while it is hot. I personally think that the egg is not that salty. Could be better if it is a little more salty

Thai style steam fish (tilapia) [RM 27]
Nice...sour + a little spicy.

If you are bringing outside beverages in, an additional charges of RM30 will be included

We were guessing how much will this meal cost...since we ordered so much seafood. A friend of mine told me it is not cheap. We too see alot of expensive cars here...must be something.

The moment the waitress handed the bill.... My eyes almost popped out. RM101.50???!~?!?
SOoooooooo Cheap!!!!!! I couldn't believe it!~

I would think that the food is too much for the 3 of us....but in the end, we managed to whack everything...can even order mango sticky rice....waaaa... we all eat like an elephant after the elephant sanctuary.

A recommended place for family and friends gathering. Cheap and nice food~
