1982 Lafite?

I have been a HK tv series mania since I was a kid because my grandma watch them when I was small. My mom used to rent TVB video tapes when I was in primary school, high school, until they start to sell vcds at the pasar malam and now we can easily download from the internet, haha..

I grew up with TVB and I basically learn Cantonese from TVB. At one time, I thought of living and working in HK but as I grew older I know that place is not for me. Hongkie is not as nice as how the TVB series portray them to be. They are still rude and kurang-ajar although they pretend to be SO civilized.

Back to TVB: It annoys me when I hear them speak English in ALL drama, especially:

1) Proposal - phou phou sou
2) Idea - ai tee ya
3) Party - phaa theee..
4) Lift - lip
5) 'Well...'


..and they really got on my nerves when they pronounce Twinkle as Chwing Khou! That's Tavia Yeung's name in the Cupid Stupid series.

Everybody and anybody in HK is a graduate from the University of Harvard, came back from the US, Canada, a successful businessman in the US (Wall Street) blabla... and when they work, they say Phou Phou Sou. When they made a mistake, they shout "Jesus" :-/ Hello, you worship the Big Buddha and you call Jesus. When they get married it's always the Church and when they pray, it must be Wong Tai Sin? LOL!

They used to mention Malaysia too but usually about drugs and death sentence. :-/ Recently, they learn about our Datuk-ship and in the dramas, every Malaysian is a Datuk and they are over dressed, super rich, can have 4 wives and easily own a few mountains of bird's nest and monopolized the Rubber Estate Industry, >_< Now that they found out Sabah is a nice place, they talk about Sabah in almost every tv series. Well, it's a good promo though :) Visit Malaysia!

Next is, The Wine in HK. Over the decate(s), Hongkies have been drinking the 1982 Lafite in almost EVERY tv series and I bet the whole world is running out of stock because they are all exported to HK. LOL!

They used to drink Lafite everytime they dine in Restaurants but recently they even drink the 1982 Lafite when having dinner AT HOME! I don't see them drinking plain water anymore. I doubt Lee Ka Shing would drink vintage wine everyday. Not that he cannot afford but he needs water too, okay? Huhuhu..

Sorry, for those who do not watch HK TVB series will not understand what I say but if you do... it's a tribute to Hongkie and TVB, hahahaha...

Psst! Bollywood movies also speaks 4/10 English, but they don't have so many phou phou sou to do at work-lah.. :-/

Born Rich

My TVB series marathon includes Born Rich, another TVB series.

Rating: 3/5 - 40% love story 60% business and gila power/money story..

I like Gallen Lo and Anita Yuen's love story. It was painful and romantic but too bad they didn't get to be together afterall. Gallen played a role where he grew up in Sabah and it was hillarious when he specifically said "ngo mou loi" (I don't have money) because only Malaysian calls money as "Loi" haha... I didn't know Sabah is SO beautiful.

** Eh Candy, want to go Sabah? But I don't wanna go sun bathing under the freaking hot sun-lah.. I'll sit under the tree >:)

Ray Lui (Lui Leong Wai) one of my favourite old time actor (the first Teng Lek in Shanghai Bund, HK version). Ray is a rich tycoon and he has mistaken Gallen as his lost brother. Gallen played along, pretending to be his brother with the intention to con Ray's money. Lama-lama he became greedy and wanted power, wanted to take over Ray's business.

When his identity was exposed, he lost everything including his memory. He became like a lunatic and went back to Sabah. Fuh, the story was long and winding and I cannot believe it was one of TVB's grand production in 2009. Anyway, Gallen is still so GAYA :*

Anita Yuen with her "Oh no!" in the first episode >_< !! It's just Oh Shit!

Cupid Stupid

A HK tv series that I watched recently, Cupid Stupid.

Rating: 4/5 star because.. I simply love Tavia Yeung. Every time she cries, I cried, No matter what role she played. She is such a wonderful and beautiful actress who'll just bring you SO into the series/role.

Steven Ma, her childhood best friend who fell in love with Tavia since... childhood. He dare not tell Tavia lah, until she met Michael Tse and they got together. Steven then panicked, tried to tell her, numerous obstacles, finally gave up, then Tavia suddenly found out, broke up with Michael but she's indecisive, lalala.. finally chosen Michael.. so unfair!

A total Hongkie love story that I won't recommend to people who's just broke-up with their partner. It also talks a lot about horoscopes which is quite true. But I'm still not convinced that they actually NEVER mention about the forest king, Leo. TVB is just too much!

You call that 'EAT' ah?

We always hear and read about exercising to a healthier life. What about slim people, do they need exercise too? As far as I know, exercise burns fat!

They say when you are unhappy, your body cannot absorb nutritions intake because your digestive system is sad too. I have lost some weight recently over a depression. I have been eating alot lately, like 5 meals a day because I want to be able to fit perfectly into my jeans again.. I have noticed some improvement though, slow.. >:)

Girls nowadays really do NOT eat, so people thought we don't eat just to stay slim/fit. It's a misconception that I hate most. Though Candy's cool with it but I specially hate it when plump people tells me that I don't eat. Too bad even if they don't eat they are still fat! *&^%$#@!!

A FAT classmate of mine name Jojo (waist 29) keep saying that I don't eat, eventhough we have lunch together 'frequently' for almost 2 years and my rice just happen to be 3 times of hers. Because her portion is so small, you just cannot imagine she can actually tahan for 1 whole day!

"You and Candy don't eat ah?" <-- Jojo's favourite quote.

My favourite quote on lunch time with Jojo "You call that EAT ah?"

Fat ass... *&^%$#@!!!

Dog Bite Stylist

Girls are better in long or short hair?

Since I only need 1 year for my short hair to grow long again, I was thinking of letting go my long hair and if the stylist failed me, I can wear a cap for a month..

Or why not I make Candy to cut her hair short, haha! You know, this girl... her hair has been long ever since we met and I think it's pretty mysterious why can't she cut her hair short for ONCE. Talk about short hair, I have a story to share:

One midnight in Dec 08, I woke up and looked into the mirror.. I felt my head was heavy so I took a scissors and cut my hair from bra-line to ear-length about 13 inches.. Guess what, I failed because I couldn't see my hair behind me and my back hair became like some long some short.. Candy named me, The Dog Bite Stylist eventhough I think it was quite nice, haha! Our classmates didn't notice the error and they thought I got a hair cut and that it was intended.

I wanted to try again but it wouldn't be so appropriate now since I'm working as a p-time receptionist. I should also take into consideration how clients would react to it.. Grrrhh..

Long hair? short hair? color? uncolored? cut my hair? cut Candy's hair?? perm? rebonding? lalalalala...

..and Found and Lost...

On the 5th day, my size 24 jeans could fall down if I don't wear a belt and it use to be good fit. Girls who wish to loose weight? Try breaking up with your boyfriend. I skipped classes, Candy accompanied me and make sure I eat eventhough I don't feel hungry.

6th day: Danny came to our house, Candy greeted him with *&^%$#@!! and sent him away. I actually wanted him to come and see what he brought with him that day but.. I know she's doing it for my own good because when I get serious, it's hard for me to fall OUT of love. She's here to overturn the impossible.

I was forced to carry on with my life under her supervision; I did, though not fully recovered but 70% is good enough to bring me back to class. I sat in the library everyday after class, looking back at the notes I missed during my absence. A busy week helped me to recover another 10%. I'm now 80% healed.

Danny came to college one day and we went out while Candy's in class. My 80% recovery slowly reduces as I look at him while he was driving.. 75, 60, 68.. 50.. by the time we reached Batu Ferringhi beach, I'm ready to fall in love all over again.

He gave me a necklace that I couldn't say NO to.. to "tie me" so that I will not leave him again. It was stupid yet romantic. It's wrong but sometimes you just want to be wrong for just once. We wanna live like there's no tomorrow! I sent Candy a text msg and switched off my phone while Danny off his phone without texting his family. We spontaneously decided to hide ourselves from the world so we went to Pulau Jerejak. Why do I care about where his money came from? Kan I'm a materialistic bitch? We had a good time being alone together and I know this is the time I will miss if we never get to see each other again for whatever reason in future.

We went jungle tracking, we lost our way, I cried, he laughed, we quarrelled over which way we should go.. enjoy spa, massage, we went cycling, flying fox, we did everything that was dangerous. 3 days flies and we're about to check out from the resort. What will happen when we go home?

I reached home and Candy didn't say anything. She passed me more notes from the classes I missed. Danny calls me, sees me as usual but surprisingly even more often. @_@ Why is everything so in order? No chaos? The 1+7 women didn't come with 7 knives, crashing my door and slash me.. I couldn't sleep every night as it is too unusual to be so normal after our ran-away.

I confronted Candy and she said she will support me in whatever my decision is as long as that's what I want. Okay, acceptable but the 1+7... Danny said his family have accepted the fact that we are inseparable and they have stopped damaging our relationship. Really? I don't believe him. Leo can sometimes be over sensitive, suspicious and insecure but our instincts are usually accurate. Danny was a jovail person but lately he has become less sunshine and a little bit moody. Yeah, nobody noticed but me.

Later, I found out that 1+7 didn't really settled for peace. It's just that Danny has been filtering and digesting the ugly truth so that it doesn't reach my ear. This time I truly realized that it is necessary to Leave Him If You Love Him. So here I am.. blogging about my PAST.

Found and lost..

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I had boyfriend name Danny. We were so in love but due to the fact that he is such a mommy's boy, we broke off because of his family (1 mom and 7 sisters didn't like me). I don't really know the actual reason of why they dislike me but I think because:

1) I dressed TOO well when I went to his house. The sisters made a remark that I'm a 'city girl'. Hello? I come from a kampung. My clothing is NOTHING fancy or over exposure but I seldom wear oversized t-shirt and 3/4 pants like all his other sisters do. I'm confident that my dressing is DECENT. They are even more kampung than I am.

2) They say I didn't greet them when I see them. Liar. We all know greeting old bags are a MUST whenever you see them. Thus, I was labelled as 'tak sopan'.

3) Danny buys me gifts so often, so I'm a materialistic bitch. I received gifts and found out that it was wrong to accept gifts from a boyfriend who loves you.

We often argue about what his family had to say about me and he went through a hard time maintaing our relationship because his sisters will insult him, make fun of him, despise him, everytime after he sees me. We ended up being friends again. It feels better; I can loudly curse his whole family to die without feeling guilty.

We stopped seeing each other for sometime, I cried myself to sleep every night until I lost count, until I stood up and live again. The pain was unbearable.. I blame his family for making up stories about me and I hate him for not standing up for me.

FOUND: About a year ago, we started seeing each other again and of course, 'as a friend' we said. Our feelings were still strong for each other. The way he looked at me, pat my head, find ways to hold my hand when we cross roads (the silly old trick, haha) but an old trick is good enough to make me feel cloud-9 ^o^ but when I think about the torture I went through during the break-up.. I'm scared to fall in love with him (again) so our 'friendahip' went on with both of us pretending to have gotten over our past, when one day by the end of 2009, Danny came to me and said "Let's stop seeing each other!"

I was astonished but had to act calm. I didn't ask why. Not because I know the reason but because I was too confused to make a move. I'm afraid we would get back together (I cannot handle another break-up) and I don't wanna lose him (and never get to see him again).

We kept quiet and look at each other every 5 seconds then turn away, waiting for either one to ASK or to EXPLAIN why. After like 100 years of silence, I finally gave in..

"Why?"

He stared at me for a while, with the I Don't-Have-Balls look. I started to cry, knowing that no matter how we try to maintain this fcuking fake friendship, it's not working because we want to be more than just friends, it's not going anywhere because his family is in the way and I'm fcuking forbidden and he cannot say NO to his barbaric family! It's torturing to face some one you love and pretend to be FRIENDS because of 10,000 restrictions.

He hugged me and my tears just fell like rain that day. We remained in that position until my feet turns numb. And his shirt? Soaked with my tears.

He is the only son and the youngest in his family, a coward, a mama's boy. He cannot even be with someone he loves. Do I have a future with him? Seriously no but like a Chinese saying "The one you cannot get will be the one you love most". We are so, super cin-kak.

So, I LOST a (boy)friend.

Don't you EVER snore again!

I came across a very interesting article not long ago from Utusan Malaysia where a student killed his room mate because he can no longer tolerate him snore. Hahaha.. It was supposed to be a sad story but maybe I'm not sympathatic enough so I think it's really funny! LOL!

Candy listen here, don't you EVER snore again or I will kill you, wuahahahaha!

Ghostly Encounter

As Mandy has mentioned earlier on, we were off somewhere for a short break during our MIA (Missing in Action). Nowhere fancy, just somewhere within Malaysia. Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves going around and taking loads of pictures. At one point, Mandy was mentioning that she heard from "someone" reliable that this year, 2010 we need to wear a "pak kwa" to enhance our luck. And coincidentally, during our trip, we saw a place selling these ancient Chinese jewelries and they happen to sell "pak kwa" as well. So, as naive as we were, we purchase 2 "pak kwa". One for Mandy and one for me.

First night back to the hotel, I could not sleep while Mandy was snoring her way to dreamland on the bed beside. By the time the trip was over, I was exhausted and my eyes resemble a panda as I have had sleepless nights throughout the trip. I thought I would sleep better once I am back to my own bed but unfortunately I still could not sleep. And by now, I starts to have this creepy feeling that there is something watching me. Well, I am not a very superstitious person but this is really freaking me out. I moved to Mandy's room after that and surprising manage to get some sleep. I did not told the actual story but just said that I was feeling scared after a horror movie to keep her at ease. So, for the week after that, I was sleeping in Mandy's room together with her. I never dared to be alone after that as I can always felt the present of something unnatural nearby causing me to have goosebumps.

After the week passed, I dared myself to go back to my own room as I thought it make no sense to continue sleeping in Mandy's room and paying the rental for 2 rooms. And so, that night, I packed my stuff and returned to my room. As expected, my eyes were wide open the whole night and I did not catch any sleep until daylight breaks in. Once I woke up after a short nap and about to go take a quick bath before heading for class, I realized my feet was in pain the moment I step down on the floor. I thought nothing of it and rushed of to get ready for class. By noon, my feet has swollen into an elephant fee (maybe a lil' exaggerating) but believe me, it become so swollen that I could hardly walk. Mandy quickly sent me to a Chinese doctor and my feet was wrapped up like a "bak chang" (Chinese Dumpling). That night, I slept with Mandy and told her the whole story.

Both of us agreed that all these happened soon after the purchased of our "pak kwa" and so the following morning, we immediately bring the "pak kwa" with us and threw into a river nearby our place.

Miraculously, the swelling of my feet reduced and fully recovered after a few days. I returned back to my room after spending a few more nights with Mandy and did manage to get my sleep back but with the lights on.

By now, everything is back to normal. I sleep soundly at night and manage to have some good dreams, too. Thank god for that!

We Miss U, Too...

To all our loyal supporters,

First of all, I would like to thank you for your emails and messages left in FB showing your concerns on us. It was really touching reading all the messages left for us.

Anyway, I know how lazy I am in updating the blog (thanks to Mandy for reminding me from time to time) but today I would personally like to express my gratitude & appreciation to all our loyal supporters.

Thank you so much.

A Bird?

There was this guy sunbathing in the nude at the beach. Well, this little girl comes up to him, so he covers his private parts with a newspaper.

The little girl says, 'What's under there?' The man answers, 'A bird.'

The girl goes away and the man falls asleep.

When he wakes up, he is in a hospital and in great pain.
A doctor comes up to his bed and asks, 'What happened?'
The man answers, 'I don't know.
I was at the beach and I fell asleep after talking to a little girl.'

So the doctor tells this to the Police, and they go to the beach to find any witnesses.

When they get there, they see the little girl the man was talking about. So they ask her if she did anything to the man.

She answers, ' I didn't do anything to the man, but while he was sleeping, I played with his bird. After a while, it spit at me, so I broke its neck, burned its nest, and smashed all its eggs!'

While we were away

While we were away (neglected our blog) for about a month, we received some emails from readers asking where we were, showing concern etc. No, we're not bragging about it but it shows that we haven not being forgotten! We're really happy about it.

I never thought people would come to our personal blog and read what we write because there is no obscene topic discussions here and somethings we write are just childish, haha... Furthermore, not many people left comments and some didn't even bother to put their names besides our only supporter George. :)

Now we know that, there ARE people who read our blog, it's just that they don't tell us who they are until we are gone :) So, okay we will rajin-rajin and pandai-pandai maintain our blog :)

Anyway, the reason we went missing in action was:

1) Chinese New Year preparation we balik kampung

2) Candy and I went for a short holiday (some kinda of escapade)

3) Mandy found and lost and found and LOST a boyfriend, fuh... =_=

4) Some secrets about Candy, if she agrees I will write on her behalf because as you know, she is such a SUPER lazy person, you can see from a handful of her posts since this blog was started. Hoo hoo..


So, give us some time to blog all the chaos during our absence.

Thank you. :)
