One *blur* friday afternoon

Super duper tired today, I dunno what had come across me, but the good news is! We are throwing a slamming party tomorrow! this will be the first "official" party we throw after years and the occasion is - urs truly is turning *beep*, i refused to reveal my age.

so Im gonna post a big fat sign "Nicole's 18th birthday" - haha are you even going to believe it?

Im cooking big fat feast for everybody, i hope i dont screw anything up. invited alot of peoples over, omg, have lost count.

But honestly really wish my best friends and family are here - yea is no big deal but i gotto get my ass off this lab and start preparing , omg omg lots to do!

why am i sitting in a lab? coz my super deal computer had crashed on me! and because is a refurbished unit, they used different kinda video card and I couldnt figure out which one!! after spending 2 days to find the correct driver, i got fed up and sent it back to future shop, remember how i refused to buy the extended warranty on it? not that i regret it but they used that to bite me back in the ass! I cant even begin to express how furious I am! really hope they wont charge me anything man , otherwise , otherwise, otherwise...gosh i dunno what can i do....

Wish Im related to some kinda godfather to blow up their lot or something like tat, yea yea that was the 18 Nicole talking.

anyway peace y'all!

and i ran into another problem....once again he wouldnt eat!!

YEA Im spoilt, SO?

leave me alone...i need a nap

shopping bags n emptiness

Is it really dangerous to go shopping alone? i was told you will fill ur emptiness with shopping bags.

Here's something about me, If im craving to buy n buy, it means.....

I dunno. I know wine doesnt really solve the problem.

Anyway, here's pooky joined us on table tennis..

What is wrong with me

I dunno what is wrong with me, I skipped 3 classes today = total of 4 hours, I left early this morning coz i needed a shower really bad..was uncomfortable and irritated in the class, so i packed up and left in the middle of lecture, I know thats very disrespectful. oh well..the next class is 7pm , and instead of attending class, I went shopping...I know im an idiot, dont knw whats wrong with me.

Doing my last minute homework right now with second glass of wine...

how do i motivate myself?

look forward to bedtime coz i bought a new linen bed sheet, it feels reeaaaaaaaal comfortable..

shopping list today :
1. cute top for Pooky
2. set of satin bed sheet
3. top for myself
4. two valentine mugs
5. 3 tops for bro and sisters

What are u doing next weekend?

more pictures update

Again, sometime before xmas, when we were still working at schneider...there was an extracurricular project going on - door decorating contest.

Tyler's the inventor of this whole ginger bread house idea!
Everything we used is edible, the only thing made them dangerous to be consumed is - they were all solidly glued down by "hot glue gun" !

The finished product, this little village was done based on the buildings nearby schneider - look at how the polar bear is ready to attack those yummy gummy penguins. It was pretty heavy to be putting them up against the door...and we only use tape - wait, ALOT of tape!!!

Then there was this crazy rum cart on one friday afternoon in the office...I mean, how could u not love this company!!?!?

and there was karaoke.. but all xmas songs though..

bye bye desk...but ill be back!

mean while.....look at these two cuties
Pooky looks like he's busy with his bone, but thats wat he does whenever he's jealous - pretend to ignore you...

**********************edit - Today **************************

Big baking day- After I finished baking my lasagna. Darling came back started grinding turkey livers, ground beef, and beef slices - he baked whole bunch of homemade healthy liver dog treats for Pooky, and guess what? I think im eating most of them - who said dog treats arent for human? They are freakin delicious!

Start baking for ur puppy - Its super easy and almost effortless..

Ingredients

1 lb liver
a big meatball size of ground beef
1 slice of bacon - We substituted it with roast beef slice.
1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
1 egg
some garlic powder (fresh garlic will be highly recommended)
oregano (optional)

Blend the mixture of meat till it becomes meat paste, add egg and meat paste in flour - then throw in garlic and oregano and mix them all up!

put in pre-heated oven (350) - half an hour for chewy and 45 mins for crispy. Its way cheaper and healthier compare to buying from pet store.

one of the weekends..

On one weekend, sometime b4 Christmas, we....

Then this happened...

then we found this at the intersection of broad and johnson, it wasnt available during the day time, but i guess the authority planted this there on high traffic weekend where unloading zones can be found anywhere due to the high demand.

so the guys...

This Wednesday, we...

and pooky...

All I need is a relaxing weekend...

Last week was crazy crazy, first week of school and everything was in a mess! not to mention the reports dued on friday which btw I did a horrible job. Just when I thought this is going to be a relaxing weekend. Seriously, All I needed is ONE relaxing weekend, but that wasnt quite the case, partying is a stress too u know? *grin*

Went to a club after skating, am i a good skater? put it this way, Im lucky my pants were still dry at the end of it. But it was good fun, and to my shock that im liking it. Crowd was about 10 to 15 yrs old, picture a scene which an old lady was holding on the side board in a skating ring yelling and shuuing furiously when kids comes in her way. Believe me, those kids are aggressive and they were good skaters!!!

Havent been dancing for a while, but honestly, night will never go wrong with couple of beers and shots. Plus im a cheap drunk :P

Back to school tomorrow morning, this is only 4th day and Im so not motivated! this is bad....

bye bye 2006, welcome 2007

happy new year!

like every other years, in 2006, there were...

Halloween.

Jack sparrow was there...


and x'mas


kenny made turkey!
everybody has gifts...











so did pooky



ching was a gift...

Highlights of the week.

All I wanted for xmas is a new laptop which i been longing for the past 6 months.

and I got it! for a really good deal on day after xmas - Boxing day!!

it looks almost exactly like the laptop i used to have but bigger. Anyway thats not the hightlights of the day...I mean days....

Highlight #1 - Xmas eve
crazy intense last minute shopping (wallmart was opened 24 hours week b4 xmas), got all done in 2 hours, yummy big xmas dinner prepared by kenny, turkey, pastas, salmon and the whole nine yards. Nonetheless, besides food , of coz there were presents, they will sink the tree if it wasnt elevated. And the rush of ripping all them up one by one, ohh how i love xmas!

Highlight #2 - Xmas day
relaaaaaaaaaax, and guess wat? we finished the turkey right on xmas day !!! was hoping to have turkey sandwiches for whole week. But not a chance because it was so yummy!!

Highlight #3 - Boxing day
Digged and flipped the flyers b4 went to bed, woke up 5 in the morning and got our asses down to futureshop, got myself this awesome deal laptop Centrino duo core, 1G DDR RAM, 120GB 5.4krpm HD - just these 3 are worth getting up so early. When we got there around 6am, the parking lot was packed, saw ppls with sleepy eyes, probably still in their pjs carrying out boxes in their hands with messy hair. and there were only 3 laptop that i wanted left. and I felt conned because i had to pay 110 extra on top of the "special price" just because it was pre-setup!?! and i dont hv a choice. later of the day stopped by another future shop in langford and found out they dont charge the so called setup fees, WTF? so now i got two exact laptops sitting at home, but one cost 110 less than the other. Thank god for refund policy.

Hightlight #4 - two days later..
Furious about futureshop's money oriented management! brought the laptop back and they will not refund me the 110$ as claimed by "services are not refundable" in another words, pay us for the service and you will not get anything..I was furious! kept chanting the sentence in the customer service counter like a psyco b "there is no way im paying 100 something for nothing", Sabrina was running back and ford trying to make us -customers and the manager happy, why cant the bloody manager just show up and solve this thing!? too busy? i dont think so, i literally saw one wondering around the store aimlessly. anyway we settled for gift cards - do i need anything else from futureshop? no, do i want to ever shop there again? no! well...maybe next boxing day sale, mind me they DO have really good deals, otherwise peoples wouldnt camp overnight for that. I guess i could put up with that once a year :P


Overall, Im happy with my new baby :D

season greetings

Merry X'mas and happy holiday everybody...

New born cover girl

"Slip on that color and sleek on that shine, you'll be shinning a really long time
dance! dine! have a vista! the old lipshine ? astala vista ~"

Guess who's the new cover girl? oh my god I closed my eyes and held my breath before Caridee's picture appear on the flat sreen, reason being? i really duwan that B**** melrose to win and honestly Melrose is very strong, i really thought she was gonna win.

Here are Eugena and Melrose - She kicked Caridee's ass on the ghost bride runway walk.


The reason she beat Melrose was because she is extreme! her personality just rock ~But still, my all time favourite will still be Elyse Sewell from the very first cycle...

dummdeedumm

two weeks left before my xmas holiday, ironically, it actually feel kinda sad to be leaving work, 10 days holiday - 5 days of laziness - 3 days of working at the store = 2 days left to finish up two reports writing!!

But see , I planned ahead, instead of letting two reports piling up till the very last minute, i signed up for "lunch and learn" on the 19th, purpose is to push myself to start the research and survey earlier...So when it comes to compiling the report, I actually have all the information and power point slides, enough for me to get it going..

anyway, enough of the boring stuff...

something interesting perhaps?

We attended Schneider Christmas party last friday, i actually managed to fit myself into the dress that i bought god know how many years ago, which is my only so called "cocktail" dress... but during last min shopping for wei on thursday, i actually very tempted to get myself a real cocktail dress, but i know it just going to sit in the closet, perhaps wearing it once a year? or not even that...hmmmmm but they are so pretty though. Maybe next occasion...

I so regret that it actually didnt cross my mind to bring my camera and even when I was at the party - totally never thought of snapping pictures!? whats wrong with me? maybe i got too carried away with the food and fun games that was going on..we didnt stay for the dance, which i really wanted to but everybody at my table seemed to be taking off - is like...oh no more goodie bags to be given away, time to go!

Gordon got a 2G Ipod nano, I SO WANT THAT TOO!!!! hmmm jealousnya......

time to do some xmas shopping, but not today, tasks for today are: -
pooky beacon hill park (checked)
pooky bath + advantage day (checked)
clean the house (unchecked)
put away clean laundry that have been in the basket for two weeks (unchecked)
lay on the couch to watch ANTM C6 finale again! (optional....)

so bottom line, time to get my ass off this chair and start working!!

peace y'all!

Benjo - the champion dog

Karen Sargent called - theres a new born litter of little pookies, same parent. Thats a sign because the night before we were contemplating if we should get a puppy as xmas present for his parent.

So decision made, and we went to look at 15 puppies on sunday night, as soon as the door was opened, all the adult dogs rushed out and benjo (pooky's father) attacked him! pooky was yelping and crying for help, so darling picked him up, when i tried to pull benjo away to get him in the house, he turned around and bit me, left a bruise and a small bloody scar on my hand.

i was swinging my hand so hard coz it hurted so bad, first time ever in my life got bitten by a dog!! @^#&*%$&^@%!!!!! anyway benjo was punished and locked in the van. After an hour, we finally picked out this puppy which looked identical to pooky (and benjo too) when he was born.

ready and happy so we left, as i was running down the slippery ice slop clumsily, i fell and landed on my bum, this time it hurts even more!!! yea i know, what a day huh!?

yesterday night we got a msg from Karen saying that Benjo was killed and she would like to discuss something about the puppy we picked out. When we called her back, she was sobbing on the phone - Benjo was run over by a car and that pretty much paralyzed him, so he was put down. They wanted to keep the puppy because she looks very alike to Benjo, and we agreed to pick another puppy.

the scar and bruise are still in my hand, but the dog that did that is gone...it just this ironic feeling.. anyway Benjo hope you are happier wherever you are..

Random

Had a short chat with S, and suddenly, it hitted me ( once again) that my life had changed so much ever since I moved to Victoria. She had lived here for quite a few years and moved to vancouver...maybe is the city and more lively life style..she's happier there.. same for K, he claimed that travel 17 hours from another city to a completely different one doesnt change much compare to a two hours ferry ride to a small town.

I admit, it is pain in the ass, or rather a long time to get used to the slow "lay back" life style here..hmmm, maybe i should say is the ppls here, the sulee in klang/kl was the person always surrounded by frens, those that we only hang out and hv fun, or those that we hv heart to heart talk and cried together.. and it hitted me yesterday that over here..i have tonnes of frens to hang out and have fun, BUT those that we can open up, chat and share...zero!

mind me, im loving victoria, more and more...and i can see myself live here with my husband, children and pets for the rest of my life... Is it the place? the ppls? or is myself that is changing...I mean i used to be able to trust everybody and tell everybody everything about me! and slowly Im closing up...why? i dunno.....

I do share alot with darling, and he's always there for me, but it will be nice if i could have this gf to talk about girlie stuff, to share...and to cry together.... maybe the first thing i have to do is first to open up... S quoted that " it is better than to feel, lost than never get to feel at all", becoz ppl move in and out from this town so much, and it is hard to see another fren is leaving...Maybe she is right....

but, like what soprano always say : " what u gonna do? "

But for now, Family matters the most to me...

blood test this weekend, hmmmmm....

got panic when it started snowing again!!!

Its been a short day today, Kevin came down saying that he's leaving because it started snowing again and it supposed to pile up to 20cm... SO....i got panic, dragged wei and took off about 1pm, but the funny thing is - as soon as i got home, noo, wait a minute even b4 i got home, the snow stopped - darling came home early today too, everybody is afraid that they gonna get stuck at work without sleeping bag and tent , but it was a nice afternoon chilling with darling and pooky at home with hot mug of cappucino...

got the car cleaned, got the house cleaned, got the meat defrosted and marinated, to welcome in laws returning home tomorrow...

Here's a little story - cousin's wedding was last weekend, and her parent split up 5 yrs ago, see ... i really dont understand , or maybe i DONT CARE about the custom, or so call "kuai gui" (procedures), her mom threw a big big banquet and didnt hv his father's name in the invitation card, so basiclly all the NG family boycotted the dinner because their elder brother's name wasnt printed on the invitation card... and this silent war started... I dunno wedding, banquet suppose to be a celebration: not to her mom! neither to the NG family, but to the newly wedded couple!!! why does she has to deal with all these shit that got passed from the elderly? and why do ppls hv to hold grudge? like ALL THE TIME!!! izzit really so hard to let things go?? If it was me, ill be really sad that my uncles, aunties, cousins didnt show up on my wedding day. Come to think about it, maybe i shouldnt have a wedding at all, kinda scary and troublesome...

anyway best wishes to the newly wedded couple..
