Life ends But work will never end...

"Don't work too hard. Nobody notices anyway"

The irony...

Dorian Gray

I'm going to see this movie (even though I'm a bit skeptical about the Ben Barnes part) adapted from Oscar Wilde's classic. I dunno if it has been released here in Malaysia because it was released on the 09.09.09.

Adoii!

I like the tagline, "Forever Young. Forever Cursed.."

Hm, DVD hunting la macam ni :D

air oh! air

Hm, hampeh. Today woke up with no water on the tap. Or the Shower. My ear could not trace any sound of running water...Stretching my hearing range to the whole block, definitely no water!

OMG!

Hm, EL saja la macam ni. But I don't want. Simpan cuti. Hehe..

So there's one pail of water and 2 bottles of my 1.5 L drinking water on the table.

Hair unwashed, I managed to take a shower but it was really annoying. It's not that we don't pay the bills. So what's up?

Hoh! Suddenly at 7am sharp, the water starts running. I fetched 3 pails of water and used 3 drinking bottles to save up some water. Just in case there won't be any this evening.

Stumbled upon Zu, my block mate with her 2 housemates running to their friend's house on the upper floor on my way to the elevator. I told them that there's water already, but not wanting to get their hopes high, they proceeded to the upper floor to take their shower.

***

Down at the administration office, the guy said, "sorry, the water pump got broken. The maintenance guy only noticed this when he himself woke up to find no water running," And it was OK after 2 hours of working on it.

Hampeh!

We paid our maintenance bills every month, and this kind of things still happen. What happen to the RM we paid? Kept in the peti besi?

Hm, this has happened twice. But once it was in the evening and the matter was resolved after 2 hours of waiting.

I guess they never learn, do they?

There goes my ruined Friday Morning. Good thing is DG had just credited my quarterly bonus of RM32.40. Right on time. My credit just ran out yesterday :D

Baraka’ for Lunch

Today, (despite mr T’s unnecessary worry that he’ll be late for a 2.30pm meeting), we headed to Cyberjaya, our usual lunch gateaway, and headed to Baraka’.  Another one of the Middle Eastern restaurant that could be found in Cyberjaya.  It’s Albanian.

It wasn’t crowded like the other popular restaurant like Saba’ so OK la.  I don’t want to waste any time waiting to be seated.  Lapar woh.

  

Ordered a pot of mint tea.  See the mint leave on the right? Tastes toothpastey, but still nice.  Just don’t overindulge in it.  Hehe.

  

Chicken Mandy (Ayam mandi? ;p) and Chicken Kabsyah.  Tastes like chicken stew.  Or like chicken curry.  Except that it’s not hot.

  

Chicken Kebab..I can’t really pronounce the Albanian name.  Forgot it.  I dunno, but looking at it, the only words that came across my mind is Kaboosh, or Swash-something, which I’m sure either one doesn’t even come close the real name.  But it’s kebab in ordinary English :D

  

The weirdly-tasted soup and the chilies which I finished in seconds. But it can really do without the ginger.  But ginger’s OK, I guess.  Buang angin :D

What else did we have..oh, that’s it.  1 chicken Mandy, 3 Kabsyahs and 2 kebab.  We left feeling waaayy fuller than intended.  Ceh, lepas makan baru manasal…hehehe..

Anyway, thank you Mr R for treating us for lunch :D.  So nice of you to belanja us in the middle of the month.  Tau-tau ja sengkek kamiurang ni ah..ehehhee

TQ..:D

oh! Ubi Kayu :D

     

Went for a trip to a meeting at TPM Kluang and was given about 5 tapioca, jambu batu and rock melon by the TPM Manager.

The tapioca was so big that Su and I almost gave up just trying to finish one of it for dinner.  But we finished it, anyway, hehe, with Su finishing up the last 3 slices. Hehe

We made fried tapioca.  It was so delicious.  Rangup and the isi is so lembut, you just can’t stop chewing.

     

     

Wangi woh….

Suda wangi, sadap lagi…cicah sos cili, wauuseehhh…dap woh!

Tomorrow’s gonna be a dinner of ubi kayu rebus pula..:D

Today tia larat la mau makan ubi kayu.  Too heavy.  Just ate a big lunch today..Speaking of which, I’ll post a different entry about it.

Keke…OK, enuff about ubi kayu…ciao!!

Musim Hujan..Musim Bencana..

     

     

     

From my office window on the evenings.  I can barely see the bridge a few metres from my office which I can see clearly on a clear sky.

Hm, lately, there’d been a lot of disaster happening all around the world.

We are considered lucky because we are outside the Ring of Fire, but that’s not an excuse for us to be ignorant and think that we’re safe from a disaster.

We are still having floods, landslides etc and that is also in the same class as a disaster, but on a smaller scale.

The office has also been colder with the rainy weather.  I just hope I don’t catch the flu bug.  I’d hate that.
