Rashes, a pair of sandals and a pair of heels

Yesterday evening, as I was on my way back home, I felt my left wrist was very itchy. I started scratching and more scratching. Can't stand it anymore.. I took off my watch and realised my wrist was red and had some rashes. I have no freaking idea how it happened but I have very senstive skin.

This is the culprit to the rashes....

See what I mean... really very itchy... aiikksss... arghhhh....




When I was young, during my primary school days, I get rashes easily, all the time. All types of cream didn't help. Calamine lotion, rash cream, etc... just won't work on my skin. Somehow as I grew older, the rashes were gone, but not for long. When I was flying with SQ, the rashes came back, but in a different form this time. Whenever I scratch, the rash would appear the way I scratched it. There was once, I just scratched my name on my arm, and few mins the whole thing popped up. Haha.. weird.. but it happened. Sometimes I get the irritation on my face and when I can't control myself, I would start scratching my face and within 2 mins, my whole face had rashes. Same thing, no creams could help and doctor couldn't understand what was going on. They classified this as skin rash due to sensitive skin. WOW... !!!! Again , as I grew even older (sounds like I am so OLD now.. LOL).. the rashes stopped.

As for now, I only get rashes when my skin gets in contact with dust. And I sneeze (without fail) whenever I enter any shoes shop. Weird heh..? Not really.. it happens to some friends of mine too... thank GOD.. so I am NOT a weirdo... hahaha...

Today I had apppointment with an ex-colleague from California Fitness Centre (CFC). Had dinner and talked about the gym membership I was enquiring. Too many different packages and all seems to be rather attractive some how or rather, so I can't decide which one to take on. My colleague, Kim, is interested and wanted a partner that could work out with her and I am more than happy to have a partner too. More motivation, but the thing is... there are few things I have to consider though. Sigh.. not gonna go into details here. Can be simple but yet, complicated in certain ways. Women.. hahaha... May be I should just work out my own work-out routine from home, like running, skipping, etc... save the $$$. But no pain no gain.. when one pays a lot of money into something, you will make sure you make an effort to make it worth while. Hmmm.....will see h0w. Will talk to Kim tomorrow and she what she has in mind.

After we left the gym, we walked past BHG in Bugis, and I saw some shoes and thought why not...(LOL).. hubby saw this pair of sandals and told me its nice and looks comfy for my problematic BIG foot... (and I thought hmm.. not bad.. simple and cheap... its only $19.90!! Since he made an effort to help me look around... I better buy...).. okie la.. buy buy ... and bought it... but I have been looking out for a pair of red heels, never seems to be able to find a nice pair that fits me comfortably. Continue to scan thru all the pairs.. and found a pair (not exactly what I've been looking for)..but I can't resist this pair as they look kinda unique, tried the red pair but hubby said.. coffee color looks better.. okie... I trust his taste.. he has better taste of things than me. If he says they are nice... I trust that they are nice...and bought this too!!! LOL

More Than Blue - The Continuation

OMG... I didn't know that this movie has a continuation in an MV. Edward found it on youtube and forwarded the link to hubby, who then forward it to me knowing how crazy I get with the ending. I still can't get over the sadness (may be that explain why I've been getting headache or could be migraine for the past few days). I can't watch the MV with sound in the office, so my initial plan was to go home and watch with full blast of my speaker at home. But last night, hub hub was asking if I have watched it, but somehow, I just refused to watch the MV knowing the sadness is gonna start all over again. Yes, I can get very emotional with such movies, thats why I hate to watch movies with sad ending. I prefer watching comedy (but not slap stick comedy though), action pack with lots of martial art actions (yes, I love martial art, kung fu etc. I was from Tae Kwon-do for 5 years when I was in secondary school). Not so much of lovey dovey stuff... too drama mama and so not true. Such lovey lovey act hardly exist in real life and people tends to compare their partners with such characters in the movie. Not practical though...

Nevertheless, enjoy the clip here (for those of you who doesn't get broken heart so easily.. ) LOL

More Than Blue

Was watching this Korean movie last night. Its called More Than Blue. If I were to know it was such a sad sad movie, I would not watch it. The sadness still lingers in my heart even when I woke up today. Still sad.

The story is about this guy, K, who was abandoned by his mom when he was 13 years old. His dad passed away a year before, due to cancer. Cream, is a girl who lost her family in a car accident. These two people continue their lives filling in each other's longings like family, friends and lovers. But K has less than 200 days to live due to cancer too. (It seems to me that in all Korean drama or movies, the lead actor or actress tends to die of an illness, be it heart problem, cancer or leukemia.) When he's gone, he knows she'll be all alone. K decides to find someone who can be with her for the rest of her life. Joo-Hwan is a dentist, a kind and gentle soul. But most importantly, he is a healthy human being. Joo-Hwan falls in love with her the moment he sees her... but Joo-Hwan is engaged. His fiancee, Jenna, who is a photographer, sleeps around and some how, K managed to get some pics to prove that she has been unfaithful to Joo-Hwan, hence asking her to break off their engagement so that Cream can be with Joo-Hwan. Jenna refused to initially, but she agreed to do so with a condition, that K allows her to take his photos. (Not sure why she wants to do that)... may be she finds it interesting to take pics of a person who is dying and trying to find a life partner for the woman he loves.

Well, Jenna didn't keep her promised and K had no choice but to reveal those pics to Joo-Hwan and the engagement was called off. It was heart breaking to watch the part when K chose the wedding gown for Cream and he was crying his heart out knowing he won't be the one marrying this woman that he loves all his life.

But the last part of the show, time went back to the part of seeing things from Cream's side. She actually knew what he was going thru and trying to do and as K didn't want her to know he was ill, she kept along the secret with her and played along with his wishes. But the sad part was that at the end, after he passed away, she couldn't bear to live her life without him, she killed herself to be with him, and the stories ended so sadly. I just can't seems to find the right words to use to describe the ending ( too emotional for me... )... but I guess this kinda love only exist in the movie.. in the wonderland... who would do such act in the name of Love.. ????

Anyway, enjoy the OST attached here. The OST is very nice. Don't forget to On your Speaker.

Happening dinner at Jac's on Thursday Night 03.09.09

Went to Jac's place for dinner. She loves cooking too, and she always cook really nice and healthy food and will invite her friends over to her cosy home , which is located at the heart of town.

Jac, is one of my BFF. She will always try to be there when I need her, even if I can't have her physically by my side, but her ears are almost reachable thru phone, except when she is travelling on flight, or when she is in overseas, due to time difference, I will try not to call her even when I really need her listening ears. But knowing I have a friend like her, its just warmth to just think of it. Thanks Jac, for being such a wonderful friend.

Now, Jac, Jennifer and Prof. Kum are the few close ones when I was working in SLS. Jac is a dietitian, Jennifer a nurse, and Prof.Kum, a general surgeon. Jennifer is one bloody funny gal, we can joke about almost anything, as disgusting as SHIT... and only us (including Jac), can laugh over SHIT jokes. Yes, I really meant Shit as of SHIT!!! LOL... Prof.Kum, not sure how to describe him, and since he doesn't read my blog, I can just whack anyhow!!! LOL... well, he can be very funny and for those who doesn't know him well, he may sound rather sarcastic (unintentionally). But only those who knows him well, will know he is not such a person.

So, that night, we had lots of FUN, FUN & more FUN!!! It was good dinner with good food and good company. Everyone brought their partners along. And we were so looking forward to meet Prof.Kum's new gf, Clara. Woohooo.. she is one cool babe... as we are a bunch of loud people, yes, we are really LOUD (and I 've always wonder if Jac's neighbour have ever complain about the noise level we created whenenver we are at her place?)... but not only did Clara found herself in a group of loud people, but she blended in the loudness too and immediately we love her already. She is very spontaneous, cheeky and fun. Just like the rest of us. LOL..

After dinner, we played card game called Taboo and we had so much fun that I almost lost my voice the next day. We were too excited and laughed so loud!!!! I am not gonna describe further into details how Clara uses Prof.Kum during her description of words, but some can be rather RA. Hahahaha... we laughed till we had really bad stomach cramps. OMG!!!!

Anyway, so much of the fun, I am already looking forward to our next gathering. Hopefully soon. Till then, Thanks Jac!!!

Sunny Saturday 05.09.09

Usually Saturdays (and Sundays) are the days when I really pigged out at home and do just nothing. It can be watching tv whole day (or Hong Kong TVB series).. or just sitting in front of my PC and downloading songs, blogging, playing games online, surfing for new ideas etc... makes my weekend a happy one.

But this weekend is different from the usual weekends. I woke up at 12pm and quickly got ready to head down to Vivocity to meet Mun Poh, an ex-classmate who now lives in London and her hubby. I hate to go town or shopping malls on weekend as I hate crowds. I get really impatient when it comes to crowded weekend. I try to be more patient but I just can't help it. The crowds just somehow drives me nuts. LOL

We went to this Japanese fast food place, (can't remember whats the name of the place though I went there twice, once last year)..and I ate the same food.. Japanese curry with rice covered with a thin layer of egg. Nice... here is a glimpse of it before they were gone.

This is Mun Poh, who is now Mun Arthur. I won't wanna go any further of her stories in Spore. Anyway, I ain't sure when will I see her again. I used to visit her quite often when I was still flying and London being my fav destination, I did 2 to 3 flights to London every month. Yeah, we are of the same age.

Damn Bloody Suay Day today

Damn suay suay suay day... from work to work... everything.... about work and ppl.. but will not mention in details here... too public... only close ones will know.... the whole story... may be its time to move on... sigh... sick of all these rules and more stupid rules... we are just human after all.. this cannot that cannot.. whats life after all??? ROBOTS???? Sorry but I am just a human with real blood in me. Damn ******* PISSED!!! I want to be a Vampire... Suck all these bloody ppl's blood.. but then again... they have poisonous blood.. it would probably kill this Vampire after sucking all their blood.. rather not...LOL

Monday 31.08.09

Its Malaysia's National Day or Merdeka. But not so national after all... nah.. I ain't patriotic at all. Not my forte.

But as its a public holiday, we get to enjoy each other's company again before I fly off that night. We went to this beach call Pantai Bersih (translated as Clean Beach)... but it ain't clean at all. Hahaha.. it was never clean to start with and it seems to have gotten worse along the years. I have not been there for more than 10 years and didn't know that people have actually set up coffee shops and sell seafood.

We went to one for lunch and these were what we had.


Hot plate toufu


Stir fried kangkung (non spicy) and fried "long-lived" noodles

Steamed flower crab with eggs

Steamed fish (don't ask me what fish as I hardly know types of fishes... so long as they are fresh and doesn't taste fishy... I eat them all... LOL)

Stir fried flower crab with bean paste

A view of the beach... this cemented foyer was never there when we were kids and when the beach was still a place for the Butterworth-ians.

I miss the char koey teow from my secondary school. But as it was a holiday, the canteen was closed. But we were just around the corner so brother drove us there, just trying our luck to see if we can enter the school and just for memory sake.. paying a visit.. not to the teachers but to the school. LOL... we can't enter as there was a guard there. Not wanting to be accused for trespassing, we decided to leave.

Here are some pics of my fav baby... little Rou Ching...

Love her curly hair....
