xmas cookies

Ever since I promised my colleague that I would make gingerbread man cookies for her Xmas dinner, I have been very interested in any gingerbread cookies / Xmas cookies I lay my eyes on. Last Sunday, I visited Cake Sense to commit some sinful crime and ended up getting a pair of cookies displayed below.

The glossy gingerbread men were cute all right but it didn't taste so great. So I distributed them to my younger siblings. Heh.

Today, one of my other colleagues was giving out Xmas treats in the department. There were beautiful and colourful cupcakes and cookies and since the cookies were nicely wrapped, I grabbed one of them. All the treats looked so gorgeous no body wanted to eat them! I finally did once I showed the cookie to my mom to admire. Hm, nothing great on the taste.

I still love my gingerbread people ;)

Yes. Be very surprised that I'm writing again.

On Friday night, I headed to Kampung Pengantin for Naw's sister's wedding and that was the beginning of a wedding frenzy month. Naw used to be one of my homies in Edinburgh and I hadn't seen her since I graduated last year. She emailed me on one of the days earlier this week, surprising me with her return for her eldest sister's wedding. And I was very honoured to be invited.

I still am horrible at taking pictures. The above picture was the clearest picture I took last night of the newlyweds. Great couple, perfect wedding. I wish them all the best and may their marriage last forever :)

Naw looked as marvelous as ever. Glad to have seen her again after a long one and a half years. I wonder when the complete set of Marchmont Girls are going to reunite. I have a hunch at it's going to be when a child (or more) is/are in the picture. OMG. Anyway, last night was lovely and thanks again for the invite!

I reached home last night around 11 pm and only ended the night at 1 am. Four hours later after an unpleasant sleep (no thanks to this crazy cough), I was getting ready for a charity run at the Lake Garden in town. It was the most dramatic 5 am I have ever had. Don't ask me how but I lost my LAST left contact lense while I was dressing up. You have no idea how many times I swore this morning and how frustrated I was. After a deep breath, I told myself that I still have to run regardless being partially blind.

Heh. A minute into the run, I confirmed that I am so unfit. Mind you, it was a 5 km run. After much struggle, I completed the run in forty minutes. It's pathetic. I need to buck up.

These are my team members at work. All of us participated expect for our dear team leader who couldn't make for the run. Although this activity was very exhausting, we all did have fun. I walked down memory lane this morning as this reminded me of the charity runs I joined in my final university year.

"Celery Apple Mint Juice. Mmmm.. that sounds nice! I'll have that one please."

5 minutes later, the order that my sister placed arrived at our table. A sickening green coloured drink was put down in front of her.

Whilst I was enjoying my iced mocha which was brilliantly mixed, she shrieked, "Blegh, it's disgusting." Haah, so much of living like the girls in SATC.

We will continue wishing that some handsome rich eligible bachelors would approach us there one day and offer us a nice apartment in Mont Kiara, amongst others. :D

"You're very kinky, aren't you?"

The nurse in the clinic asked me when she was prepping me for an abdominal ultrasound test. I probably had blushed when she asked me that and I was surprised at her to think that having a navel piercing makes a person kinky.

Oh dear. She's going to have a heart attack when she finds out what a real kinky person would do.

"Your review should actually be in 2 pages. Currently you guys are writing a thesis each month."

This was mentioned to us for writing information which has been provided repeatedly on each annual review. It was found redundant, yet we still do it for the sake of practising what is already done previously.

"Oh he makes me dizzy."

I'm very frustrated.

numero dos

Actually I have millions of pictures I want to share especially in Facebook but since FB is being such a slow snail at the moment, I thought why not post some up in this soon-to-be-dead-if-I-don't-update blog of mine.

Today is the launching of Departure Lounge outlet number 2. It was such a wonderful opening event I personally thought. The cafe is very nicely designed, we all loved it so much. Congratulations to the management team for your new born baby :)

today

..is one rough day. I want to run as fast as I can to a place real far from here. I want to be in The Meadows like it is on a summer day.
