June Bug

I had just finished eating dinner when I saw a plate of fish bones set aside. For Garfield. Or Ginger. Not sure what’s the official name for the latest stray cat to adopt us.


We’ve stayed in this house nearly 2 years and for the most part we’ve had cats adopting our family. There was Jimbit who disappeared. Then I’m not sure if there was a cat named Tona or it was the boys’ favourite ‘lembut’ stylist (sssshhhh…that’s a secret!)…I’m confusedlah. The latest before Ginger/Garfield/Oy Kucing was a black and white striped cat named Lollie. Lollie gave birth to 4 kitties and left them or disappeared in a fortnight. The kitties died after a month of looking after by the very patient Mak Chu.


Then there was the arrogant puss named Blackie. Looked to be a Persian cat with a perpetual poker-face when we called it. Muka takdok perasaan. Blah la ko kucing….


This latest stray could be called Ginger for its fur or Garfield for its colour and one major annoying factor. The meowing will go on and on if we ignore its hungry call. Or can call it anak harimau because it is THAT huge.


Or stick with Oy Kucing! So we don’t get too attached. And start missing the cats when they leave us.


Did I mention I don’t like cats? I generally don’t get too close to any animals. Been raised to not have pets and not to get too attached since I had childhood asthma.


Anyway, Soph is really attached to the cats.

Spoiler Alert!


Saw the finale episode of Grey’s Anatomy Season 4. There were about 5 episodes after the writers’ strike. The end? Loved, loved it. Meredith and McDreamy back again. Sigh. Poor Rose.


Oh well, can’t wait for the next season.


-------------------


Rant time. I hate my job. I mean it’s challenging but I just don’t like it when I have to play hardball most of the time. And the drama at work. Seriously??!! Macam Spektra Drama Melayu.


Benci. Benci. Benci.

Tomorrow meeting in the city capital. Huarrrggghhhh….


I’ve signed up for a 4 day counseling course early July in K*m*m*n. So I can get away from the office and its drama. End of July boss wants me to attend a Finance Course in R*m*p*n. Syok!!!!


Can’t wait.


Till the next update. Take care.

Frost Yourself


Now, if you’re a movie junkie you’d know where that line came from.

*scroll down for the answer*

If you know the answer, congratulations you must be one of us who’ve seen the movie countless of times not because it was darned good but HBO kept playing it over and over again.

SK and I had made a date to check out the Korean crystals and accessories in this boutique that a colleague had mentioned. We made plans to park some money there after my Tioman Island trip.

For a detailed travelogue do visit IM.

Anyway, we made our way there during lunch. SK was excited and gushing over the bling-bling we’re about to see and purchase, inspired by the hours upon hours of watching Kimora and her life of fabulousity on MTV last weekend.

SK bought a ring. Really nice, Moi? The one I wanted was either too small or too big. Figures. Size does matter.

So we made our way to the car again. As we got in the car a guy in white naval uniform passed in front of us. Cute as hell. Gorgeous piece of specimen. I digress.

“SK, check that out. Hotness factor – 10 points. Uniform another 10 points.”


“Oh my god! But ugh! He knows he’s hot so subtract 10 points.”


As he passed us, SK reversed and drove out.


“SK, holy cow! Check out the butt in those white pants.”


“Okay for that alone, 50 points!!!! Woohoo!”


“I wonder what kind of car does a man like that drive?!!”


I turn to my left and saw a Fiat backing out.


“Babe, he drives a Fiat!”


Man in uniform and a Continental car. Sold!


SK craned her neck to see the guy and the car. And her foot was still on the gas.


“SK, Kancil tuh!!’


Emergency break. Pause. Hysterical laugh.


“You la A, kacau my focus.”


“Yeah, but it was WORTH IT!!!”


As we drove away we were still thinking of the guy and the fact that we almost hit another car. Sheesh.


---------------------


On another note, since the price for petrol was raised last Thursday, I’ve begun to chart our meager budget. So we can save for travel later.


I’ve started to carpool with Abah since we both get in before 7.30am, or if IM has time to send me to work first. Then when I’m done with work around 5ish if the workload for the day is done then I will change into my running shoes. So today I walked home. One less car on the road, one less contributing polution monster. Even though some of the air pollution most likely reside in my lungs. Heh.


So I had to work it. The baju kurung and the white Nike. Carrying the red shoe bag and my purse over my shoulder, and with my music in my ears, the walk home took about 35 minutes.


I was sweating like a pig. I need to save money but no saving on the fat cells.

Begone fatty tissues!!


---------------------


But, I just got a text from AR that Wednesday is Dim Sum day. Darn it!!!!
