Life is Jackpot...

Wow.. I thought I will never ever be in the mood to do this again. Things has been moving at a crazy speed nowadays. Maybe I am growing old but sure makes me wish that I can find some way to slow down and yet still making the same (or more) mullah monthly. H...A...I....which leads me to dream of winning the jackpot! Crazy gal I know but I can dream right???? Imagining if I do win millions, what would I do? Of course, first thing, QUIT my job immediately! Dont get me wrong, I have nothing against the company, colleagues or boss and so on but I just need a long long long break without stress! Even now, on MC and I have actually been working from home since 7am with 2 hours cat nap in between. Was just too worried to sleep well.. Hubby coming back in while for lunch. Hopefully, can continue my sleep after that. Need to send out the updated report at 7pm later tonight. Hhmm..maybe I can get my gal to send it out. Just items left..should be pretty straightforward...

Headache..real actual Headache AFTER shopping

Stamina is just not like what it used to be! Tmrw evening will be going out again. Have some errands to run before going back hometown and also need to send Ginger to the kernel.

Ginger Ginger Ginger.....

hhmm..523post. And nothing in almost 2 months. Gosh, I am getting really lousy at this updating my blog stuff ever since I changed to my job (over a year ago). Too much things to be pre-occupied with after work and during the weekend, just too lazy to do much. Let me see, what have I been doing in the last few weeks.

To be frank, nothing much happened that I can blog about. Maybe that is what tamed my blogging addiction? Or maybe because of the new baby Ginger that is taking up alot of my time? But I really didnt mind because let me tell you, all the tiredness and stress from work just dissappeared when you see unconditional love leaping up & down at you as if she has not seen you for months when in fact, only lunch time you came back to feed her and let her out to wee-wee.

But she is the closest to my babe. When babe comes back, it is as if she sees God coming home! HAHA! That is the only way I can described how Ginger acted. Even now, she is sleeping next to babe napping. When babe is at the computer playin game, she will go to the door and sleep there. But the moment babe stopped with the computer and comes to the living room area, she will walk over and plop herself down next to babe. AND part of her body must touch part of babe. Does not matter whether its her paw touching babe's finger or wat.

Just touching would be enough to make her sleep like a baby. I guess she just feel safe with hubby? But but but.. I am the one that feed her ler! AND she bullies me! Yarp, will bite my fingers if I dont give her what she wants but with babe, she will lick him no matter what! GGRR! HAHAHA!~

Ooops...babe just tip-toe away to play his computer. She is still sleeping. Must be extremely exhausted because she has not sleep the whole day! :P

Oh did I also tell you that she is extremely intelligent. For the right reward (FOOD la what else), she can learn sit and shake hand within 2 days. And cant trick her ler. She will know if got any treats or not. If got treats, just soft request for her to sit and shake hand is enough. But if nothing, tell her till pengsan also she pretend not to hear until she decided to pity you and do what you ask.

Now we are trying to teach her lie down & stay. Need to get her new treats first because that is the only thing that works.

Okay la..enough about Ginger. Dont want to bore you all! :P

All ALONE

Geez..I really never thought I will ever say this but being home alone SUCKS!! Sigh..

Babe is back in Sri Aman because his Grandpa just left us yesterday.  He left on the 955pm flight last night and my emotion has been on a roller coaster down-ward ever since. No idea why because I used to love the idea of having the house to myself because then I can do anything I want. But instead, I am counting down the days and trying to occupied myself with something so that I wont cry myself silly! I wonder if this is what they call hormones!

Anyway, what I did today? Hmm.. woke up at 7.30am- let Ginger out for her morning business. (She has been very good a holding it till we let her out so far) and then I put her back to her cage at 8am and proceed upstairs to continue sleeping till 11am. Came down, feed Ginger her lunch (Babe, I feed her your cornbif fried rice leftover! :P)

I made my own brunch - cornbif sandwish. Then it was tv and tv and more tv. I think even Ginger is missing him because she keep going to the stairs and the door as if waiting to see babe coming down or home. She even stop eating halfway and rush to the door because she heard motorbike passing. I think she thought it was babe coming back. 

Anyway, finally I cant stand seeing her sulking around the house waiting for babe, so I brought her for car ride. She was much more happier after that but after awhile, she start to sulk and wait at the door again. It was more tv for me after that. And I fed her dinner at around 6.30pm and I went out.

Went to the new Burger King joint that just opened near here and had my dinner with my book. Havent done that for awhile because babe was never much into reading or sitting at cafe to read. So, this is a treat actually for me. I was having a hard time to decide between Starbuck and Burger King actually but in the end it was those beefy burger for me. I am starting to remember to switch my soft drink to either Milo or juice. HEHE!

Anyway, now I am home..thinking if I should go out again to go to the night market 10min from here. I need a new pair of slippers since Ginger destroyed mine yet again. But the idea of walking in humid human infested place just for a lousy slipper...lazy la. Maybe next week when babe is back we can go? But we will be going to Genting next Saturday for one night. Maybe I should just go. It would be good way to make the time fly faster? SHEESH!

My name is Ginger

FINALLY!!! My lil girl is home! Aint she the cutest thing you ever see????

You can check out more photos of her in Ginger's Own blog here.

Cant waittttttttt

We are getting more and more excited about our new pup coming home next week. Well hopefully can be next week because we are still worried that maybe 6 weeks is still too small for her to be separated from her mom. But we will see.

We have bought her bowl, prepare her place to sleep and her pen. Now, just need to get her lightweight leash, collar and dog food. Babe is even more excited. Already talking about getting another type of pup, blue eye siberian husky. I been checking the net for him but super expensive la those pup. Minimum RM1000.

I myself am looking at australia silky terrier! So damn cute and tiny but also damn expensive. Also around RM800-1000 depending on how pure and with cert or not. I dont care about the cert but I do want healthy dog. Sme places, they keep dogs in the cage 24hours and almost never let them out. No love...no purpose except for breeding. Should get the sspca on them!

ANYWAY, I can foresee that there will be more doggies being added to the family. HAHA~! Okay la..sharing some super cute photos of the labrador puppies online. Mine have the same coloring and cuteness! :P

z

New family coming....

YAHOOO!!! Cant wait! Going to go collect her in 2 weeks! YAHOOOO!!!!!!! Wonder if we should bring her brother back too. Still debating if we can coup! But either way... YAHOOOOOOOOOO!!! Just smiling away thinking of the little gal...she is going to be so cute and great addition to the family. Hehehe... babe is already talking about where to put her and that she will definitely be staying indoor! Will upload photos of her when we get her later. Babe can teset his camera skill on moving object for a change :P hahahaahahah

Short talk: Sneaky Lunch

Was being naughty today. Decided to snuck off for lunch break on my own with my book at KFC. I used to do that at my old job when the office was just next to a mall but since starting this job that is far far far away from everything, pretty hard to go sneaking lunch on my own with a book. I know, sound rather lonely and introvert? But to me, sometimes this is the best way to take time out and unwind.

I am pretty sure if I go out on my own in Kuching with my book, people will sure think I am crazy or pity me because they think I am lonely.....but I dont care. I still do it anyway...hehehehe

Under the Bridge Bak Kut Teh

Saturday morning, babe and I actually woke up at 9.30am eventhough we only went to bed around 2.30am. Guess we just excited about our plan for the morning. The previous weekend, when we were going to Jusco at Bukit Tinggi, we happen to see the signboard for the famous bak kut teh under the bridge, as it is so well known for. We were caught in a jam while crossing the bridge and that is the first time we noticed it. Hence, you might say it is a blessing in disguise.

We arrived around 11.30am. Yah, I know entire 2 hours but not because the place is that far but rather because babe likes to take his sweet time during weekend morning to drink his coffee first, check the internet before we go out from the house. (oh, not forgetting his toilet business!) WAHAHA!

Anyway, not sure how to order, we looked around and decided to try 2 bowl first, i.e. medium lean meat with small intestine (big) and pork knuckle (small) with 2 plate of red onion rice. We are abit surprised because this is the first time we have bak kut teh that is served in bowl instead of claypot. Babe really love the taste because he say the soup tasted almost like the one we had in Kuching. We end up ordering another big bowl of pork knuckle with large intestine because the portion is rather small. Babe ordered extra serving of rice and also yau cha kueh.

The medium fatty pork with small intestine. Lots of meaty part and the small intestine have those yummy insides.

Pork knuckles - Super soft and the tendon have just right consistency

Pork knuckles with big intestine - err..or what is left of it! :P

Big big big thigh bone...err..actually not on our table..we didn't order this because I don't know how to order it. This is the bone from our neighbour table. I curi-curi take photos and then zoom in..kekekekekeke

This are the bones left by babe!

The bridge we are sitting under... Babe say the Red Chilli Pepper was here at the Bak Kut Teh, that is why the name of the shop is called 'Under the Bridge' (ROLL MY EYES!)

See the cook... big big banner everywhere that tells everyone the shop is in business for 70 years already and is apparently the first bak kut teh shop in Klang.

In case you are interested, the opening hours and telephone contact

The famous people that been here

Jason.....

Total paid RM29.80, not inclusive of tea because I brought my own. All in all, the bak kut teh was okay la. I tasted better ones I think. Only thing slack is it is not hot enough after a while because its in a bowl. Also, really alot of msg!! Was really really really thirsty the WHOLE day eventhough I drank gallons of water. So, will I go back again? Probably not. Got equally nice bak kut teh ( or better) near where I am staying now.
