An urge to rant ...

Recently, I've been feeling a wee bit very weak (emotionally). Boredom is always looming around and haunting me. Argghh!!!! Go away please!! I hate this feeling. Hmm.. all of a sudden, I am perpetually out of words. A bit of writers block! Ewww ...

Oh well! Guess it's off to bed now since my mind is pretty blank at the moment. Will try to write more soon. Need to vent out those sickly feelings stuck inside my mind. Hate it! Hate it!

Sigh! Goodnite .. *still whining* .. 

Helloo again...

Today marks the 4th month of me being back in the workforce. Boy! Time flies, it feels like it was just yesterday that I was preparing for my first day of employment. Story cut short, work has been hectic with lotsa travelling and catching up involved (plus loads of dramas). Yes! Sad to say, dramas again .. A fact that i've come to admit is unavoidable when working for a multinational company. Despite that, I've got to know a number of colleagues that belong to the 'neutral' side. Some can be pretty fun and crazy. Cool, funny peeps! So, things are actually going pretty well (after some scanning, and filtering through the masks of certain drama 'kings' and 'queens'). 

Been feeling a tad bit demotivated   emotionally down lately, especially the past few days. Probably due to the stress and dramas, I guess. Thus, I've resorted to finishing the novel by Cecilia Ahern called A Place Called Here. Pretty inspiring read .. I've always loved Cecilia Ahern's collection, particularly after her No.1 Bestseller - P/S: I Love You! Here's an insightful paragraph to share:-

" We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes due to forces beyond our control. When we learn what it is our soul needs to learn, the path presents itself. "

Pet peeves of sharing a living space with others ...

1. Sleep disturbances caused by MENTAL, PSYCHOPATIC maniacs who bring his/her bf to the crib in the wee hours of the morning, watching telly and turning on the music frm the laptop at the same time. (By that, I'm talking about 4am - 7am ... The time where you are suppose to be sleeping soundly!!!! No brainers, huh?) 

2. Inconsideration of others - Washing clothes at 4am (Again, WTF??? If it's not a case of mental, then what else can we call this?? 4 am!!! ) 

3. Noise pollution - Turning on the TV/music volume to the max like he/she is borned deaf without considering that the fact the housemates are sleeping or resting in the own rooms and WOULD LOVE some PEACE & QUIET!! 

4. Cleanliness - Hygiene is a very CRUCIAL thing when living with others. I hate those LAZY, DIRTY B****es that LEAVE THEIR RUBBISH STACKING OUTSIDE THE ROOM OR IN THE KITCHEN TILL MAGGOTS START TO BREED AMONG THEIR TRASH.

5. Selfishness - Not doing their share of chores (mopping, cleaning, sweeping etc) in the house BUT when they clean, they only clean INSIDE their rooms! How selfish can these people be? And when the utensils run out of stock, they will not take the initiative to buy new ones. They do not chip in on the groceries but tend to use it generously without asking permission in advance. (F***ing 'Scrooges'!!!!)

6. Bills - They let the electric and water bills stack for months and will not take the initiative to pay them till their being told to. Again, we're dealing with some screwed up 'Scrooges' here !!

These are the main few things that I've found to be VERY COMMON when sharing a living space with others (despite the fact that some of the housemates are ACTUALLY people who you call 'friends' .. Uh huh! So called 'friends'!!). 

Not only do they abuse your generosity towards them but they affect the peace of mind that a living space is suppose to provide after a stressful day at work. I'm just dyinggggggg.... practically wishing every single day that my wish to own a place of my own will come true very very very soon!!! God, please lend a helping hand in making my wish come true! Puhhhleeeaseeee.... *sobs* ... Really 'beh tahan' ...

Konichiwa Weekend Brunch @ Iketeru, Hilton KL + Harlow's day ...

It's been ages since I last blogged, anyways, been swamped with the new job and all. The bestie came to the City for Halloween's Day celebration, equipped with her cheerleader outfit (and her homemade 'pom poms'). Prior to the evening chill out session, we indulged a bit at Iketeru, Hilton KL. 

* Sashimi galore *

* Agedeshi tofu *

* Grilled salmon head with salt *

* Scallop and prawn teppanyaki *

* Asparagus bacon *

* Mini shabu shabu *

* Macha (green tea) ice cream with red bean paste *

* Fruit shiratama *

* Cod fish porridge *

Konichiwa Weekend Brunch is available during the weekends from 12 pm to 230 pm and costs rm113++ per person. For those with the discount card, they will be able to enjoy a whooping 50% disc. I would say my first visit to Iketeru back in 2007 left me in awe but this time around, I noticed the severe reduction in quality. Oh well! Probably because it's an all-u-can-eat buffet hence, the reduction in quality. Hopefully they still maintain their ala-carte standards. 

I need to stay off Japanese food for some time because the past 2 weeks it's been Japanese all the way. My favourite cousine no longer appeals to me.. Boo!!! It was a pretty satisfying Saturday though. Chilling out and relaxing. As the sun sets, we got ready in preparation to head downtown for some Halloween fun. 

* Sexy devil + Cheerleader *

* Halloween @ twentyOne, Changkat (one of my fav chillout place downtown) *

* Me and the 'balls' *

* Cheers *

* Ewww...gross! *

* With the ghost guy *

* Yeah baby! Vampires , ghosts etc .. *

* With Darth Vader and the sexy Nurse *

Changkat turned out to be pretty happening on Harlow's nite, with Volkswagon's event in conjunction with Halloween and the highlight of the day was MOST of the people dressed up. Pretty cool and fun night out! On a lower note, the one's that dressed up were mostly foreigners. Hellooo fellow Malaysians!! Let's put in more effort next year!! Same goes to me.. I do feel bit disappointed at myself though, I was supposed to have a pair of black wings (which I didn't have the time to hunt for it). Plus, there were too many devils all over. Nonetheless, it was definitely good fun. I vow to put in more effort next year. Till then ...

~ Happy Halloween's Day ~

Reads ...

Purchased these books a month ago and I have yet to finish any one of it. Am currently on Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert but reading got stalled due to the immense workload from the new job. Hence, by the end of the day, I am left severely drained and exhausted. The only thing that I look forward every week is for the weekend to arrive so that I can recuperate and get some sleep. However, on the brighter side of things, I managed to hit my first month's target and $$$ will be coming in by end of the month. Whoopee doo!! 

Anyways, am vowed to finish these two soon (hopefully!!!). All I can say about my new job is that it's full of drama, stress and drama .. *lol* .. I hate dramas but wth, I just try to do my own thing and ignore the rest. Can't wait for November to arrive because I have to undergo another dreadful product training for the whole of next week. Argghhhh!!! Dreading the fact that I have to be cooped up in the office studying and going through exams and validations the whole damn week!! 

Oh! I managed to watch Eat Pray Love, the movie on Sunday. Finally!! I love it .. How I wish I could spend a whole year travelling without having to worry financially. Oh well! That's what movies are made for - imagination!!

A Slice of Heaven@ Jaya One ..

Stumbled upon this delightful bakery (located at a few shops next to Cold Storage), whom I've heard, read and been longing to visit for ages but never seem to be able to make it til date, while I was in desperate search of decent and presentable mooncakes for my customers. It was the eve of Mooncake festival and I had to get some last minutes gifts for some pharmacists.  Though the mission was slightly deviated from mooncakes to cakes, it was definitely worth the purchase. I had a tough time choosing because the choices were mouthwatering and everything looks heavenly. 

My choices for the day was:-

* Red Velvet Slice *

* 3PLE Expresso Brownie (with tonnes of choc chips and nuts but a tad sweet for my liking) *

* Chocolate Durian (my all time fav!!) *

I must say, the Chocolate Durian just blew my mind off.. Definitely a 'must-try'!!! The richness and texture of the cake was a slice of heaven for sure. Totally a true definition of the bakery!!! Can't wait to try out the other flavours available .. 

MMmm, think I shall pay another visit tomorrow ... *salivating at the thought of the delicious cakes awaiting me* ....

The new Prada toy ..

Alas! It's finally here (well, actually I got it early of Sept). Anyways, just love the bright unconventional color of it.  Definitely loving it!! 

* Isn't it purdy?? *

*HEARTS*
