A Lion Called Christian - A True Story

My brother recommended me to read this book last week because he knows that I am an animal lover and would surely be impressed by the book. I finished up the book within a few hours and do highly recommend to all people who are like me, an animal lover. Though Mandy is an animal lover herself, but books and her just don't click that well. She end up snoring after the first paragraph. Duh!

The book I am talking about here is:

Book Description

Luckily, friends help introduce Christian to the African wild.

中秋节快乐 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival - From Candy & Mandy

Go! Go! Travel!

Well, I know I haven't been updating my blog as frequent as I wanted to due to my roller-coaster mood. Haiz...sorry about that. But I think I am OK now. I am even so in the mood of going traveling that I have been searching online for the last few days for an appropriate travel destination. My first choice is Cambodia because I have been looking forward to visit Angkor Wat for ages. I proposed to Mandy about my plan and we decided once we have saved enough $CASH$, we will book the first ticket available to fly out of Malaysia!!! Hahahaha...

Anyway, Mandy recommend that we go Bangkok since we made a promise to go there after our SPM but the plan never materialize and she would want to fulfil that dream now. I was a bit reluctant at first because newspaper of late always have news of people planting bombs everywhere in Thailand. Those Thais are full of shits! They are never satisfy no matter who is their leader...Duh!

Since we still have time, we shall open our hearts to more destinations. Hmmm...who knows we will end up going to India...wuahahahah....

I found this land packages today while surfing online. Their prices are quite reasonable...to me, at least.

Hopefully this trip will really materialize before the both of us grow too old and weak to travel. Wuahahaha....

It's coming to an end...

It seems like ages since I last came here. I avoid coming here because I just can't seems to find the courage to face my problems. A lot of things happen over the last few months. Thinking back, it has been so long since I am able to smile from the bottom of my heart. I guess I am lucky enough to pass by each day now without thinking suicidal. I am very sad. Seriously very down. I don't know if I will ever be able to live a normal life again.

Anyway, I feel that it is just a matter of time before we officially break-up. Is like we are waiting now who would say the words out first. I absolutely see no future in us anymore.

I am trying to get use to my life without him and hope I will be able to cope with the depression. 

As I am writing this post, my heart still ache with pain. Guess the wound has not completely heal yet. Wonder how long more it needs to take?

Special OFF-DAY For Candy

Today I went to work as usual and was surprise to see everyone standing outside. The guard told me that the office's power was down, in fact the whole area's power was down. We have to sign-in manually to show our attendance and wait for further instructions. After what we waited for like half-an-hour, we were asked to go home as TNB said that they won't be able to solve the problem til late evening. YAY!

HELL....P !

I woke up quite early today because the spastic guy on the above unit start to drag his chair around. He does it everyday. I don't understand what is it so interesting with the "Dragging Game" he plays everyday. It's like dragging a chair from one end to the other or drag it into each of his rooms...  Gruuuu.... gru..... gruuuuuu... After a while comess the kid next door, crying, wAHHHH.. I sometimes respect Candy because she never gets irritated with all this noise. She's happily making breakfast in the kitchen while I'm almost gonna kill the fucking kid next door!

Allow me to elaborate since I have not been bad mouthing people in my blog recently. If I haven't already mentioned, I have a new neighbour that moved in 2 months ago. They are a small family, a couple of parents and 2 kids, a boy and girl. The young boy screams 5 times a day for at least 10 minutes, as frequent as the Masjid's prayers but he definitely screams louder. And his parents? Did nothing to stop him of course, because his parents too, talk loudly and yell to each other. Oh no, they were communicating and not fighting. Where do all these barbarians come from?

I sometimes miss the quarreling noise from Aunty Pok and Uncle Bob next door. They are lovey dovey recently and do not yell at each other like they did before. I wonder what happened but anyway it's a good thing because I cannot take anymore noise no more.

I wonder how do people get along with each other in an apartment? Candy and I live in houses back in our home town and we never had to tolerate all this nuisance.

In my family, banging doors are strictly forbidden because my mom will Bantai any of us if we make such a loud noise to disturb the others. It is considered rude but here, I can hear my next door neighbours slamming their doors and same goes to the cerebral palsy guy on the upper unit. What is their problem? Are they trying to break the doors or their parents do not teach them to be gentle?

Can somebody teach me how to stop the noises besides hiring an assasin? I have spoken to the management office several times but the disturbance never stopped. Either the management guy didn't do his work or the barbarians ignored the warning.

ADUH, SENGSARANYA TELINGAKU.. TOLONG !!

When we're gone

I used to check our CandyMandy blog, my personal blog, gmail, facebook(s), very often.. to the extend that I seriously thought I rely too much on the internet. I was depressed, it was all because of a relationship failure. I couldn't carry on with my life normally as soon as I thought I could.

The more I wanted to be strong, to live better, the weaker I became. I basically have no interest in anything anymore. So I decided to leave the cyber world. To continue to be sad, cry, follow what my heart wanted. I even thought of never to check our CandyMandy email, blog, facebook again

Months have passed and today is 21-Jun-10. I have recovered but over the months I didn't even for once log in to any of our websites. I am not sure if Candy did.

I was late for work today due to the unusual heavy rain that poured on Penang Island. I am in the office. Everybody else was out for the 1pm lunch while I already had my lunch on 12pm. I suddenly remembered the Princess' Diary.

I logged into our email to find 300 over spam messages, 20 over Wan-Kat (kacau-kacau) enquiries and 3 emails from the readers of Princess' Diary. My last posting was in April. The urge to continue writing this blog have suddenly hit me and thus, the new blog template, background, color and this post (psst, trying to make a come back like people from the showbiz always say, LOL)

Hello, I am Mandy. How are you?

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.

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.

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. :)

Kite

Hoohoo... The sky is blue, birds are chirping, the hot hot sun went sleeping. Today's a nice day ^o^

I went to refill petrol and saw these kites flying around. It reminds me of my childhood ^_^ but those kites were old fashioned and dull, unlike these kites, so nice!

Hmm, how nice... I wanna play kite!!!

Our X tree

To entertain ourselves, we bought a little christmas tree and some decorations.

When you have so many things to do with a little time, you curse.

When you have so much time and nothing to do, you spend money.

If my granma was here, she'd hang red packets on my tree >: ) right granma? To appreciate her advice, I always hang something RED.

Days without internet

What did we do over the month without internet? It has been a tough time but I believe we will pull through! We went night-shopping in Tesco because we can't chat in msn, can't update our blogs, no more facebooking, we watch football at the mamak stall without knowing which team to support, feed & play with stray dogs, dip in the pool and chat (because we can't swim)...

And finally, we cook! Here are some of Mandy's favourite and simple dishes ^_^ I'll let Candy post her own cookinglah.. that lazy worm, wuhaha!

Tom yam fried rice with prawns and chicken

Cheng chau siu pak choy - Siu pak choy fried with garlic

Ginger chicken ^_^ (my favourite)

Tom yam pot with prawns, squids, chicken, tomato, crab, bird's egg...

Tomato egg

There are 2 cute dogs always running around our area. They love to play with us ^_^ Er.. Candy name them Baby, I call them Wou-wou.. they don't know what name to respond to, hahaha!

I need to put on some weight, they have mistaken my hand as The Bone.

-_-!

See, we can even train dogs, Wou-wou can understand "hand-hand" !!

Tak boleh janji

As mentioned, we have moved to another place because the previous owner wanted to sell his apartment. This apartment doesn't come with internet and we were suppose to go apply a new line... BUT... kikiki... I don't know who left his connection unsecured thus, we became the 'illegal internet borrowers' ever since.

Early this month, he suddenly felt like a stingy poker and dediced to 'secure his network', so.. we have no internet access since then. We're having our holidays and can only check our emails once a while in starbucks or nasi kandar. I went to apply a new line, but TM's service was unbelievably lousy. I had to blog about it!

After observing 2-3days, Mr Stingy hasn't unblock his network so we had to go apply our own broadband service =_=

Date applied: 2 Nov 09

As at today: 23 Nov 09

Status: still no internet

Reason: "kita tak boleh janji bila boleh pasang Strimik, terpulanglah kpd kontrekte TM kita."

I have called TM 100 like 20 times over the weeks and they pass me everywhere, denying their responsibilities! What is the complication in merely activating an internet account? They keep saying my address is incorrect, then they ask for my neighbour's phone number, then they have to check whether this area has broadband service (obviously everybody in this building has broadband!) and it takes forever to check and check and delay...

I went to TM today and demanded for my deposit refund and they told me that their system/line is down and even turn the monitor to show me the "error message". I was told to wait for another week because of the trouble and it will take a long time to refund my deposit. I honestly, am afraid of the trouble dealing with TM because I have no strength to tell every dept the same story as I can foresee they will pass me to everywhere.

What can I do? Waitlah.. If next week still nothing done, Mandy's gonna kill someone! CUT CUT CUT IT !!!!

* I've had so many plates, infact, too much of nasi kandar and too many cups of chocolate from starbucks, I'm now stealing Kayu's internet. I'm parking 'near' their shop. LOL. Sigh, terpaksalah bikin hal cipsket because TM cannot janji bila boleh pasang internet.

HELP ~ ~ ! ! ! ! !

Look What Candy Discover Today?

OMG! See what I saw on my way to the car park today....Gosh! It's a SNAKE.

Can someone teach me how to buy TOTO and MAGNUM???

Toilet Of The Year

I have this insecurity feeling everytime I enter my new office's toilet.


Is the lock usable? I don't think so.

I think even with ma "three leg cat kung fu" also can kick the door open...wuahahaha....

I'm Candy :)
