Bedtime Stories

As I put my daughter to sleep, she would request for a bedtime story almost every night.

So I become a story-teller, I tell tales; long tales, short tales, fairy tales, princes and princesses tales, local fables, Aesop fables, Disney stories, stories of the prophets, Abu Nawas stories, and even made-up ones.

Sometimes I tell story with my eyes closed or half-closed. The story become gibberish and she would yell out. Up, I continue, if she's lucky, it reaches the end "they lived happily ever after".

Tonight, is the story of Badang, who ate the vomit of a mischievous creature and turned strong like Popeye after spinach.

I wonder, just wonder, how she will remember my stories when she grows up. Will she tell the stories to her children? Do the stories end one night or they live for many years to come ...

p/s: Do you like Miss Hippo-nice-ass? You too want to know her story?

So, have you heard? Malaysians are spending millions and millions (I am not surprised if it reaches billions) of Rupiah in Indonesia, and I am pretty sure Bandung is one favorite location :)

Do you know why? Because of the factory outlet frenzymania, people are spending like krazee!!
Of course I bought a lot of this n that but only ONE favorite buy - Levi's® 501® Button Fly **light stonewash**

However, however, however ...
I took some nice photos of Bandung but (dang!) couldn't find the my phone cable and my card reader is lousy :(

So, will post them some other time or check out my FB.
Have a pleasant day now :)

Bye bye ff

Valentine's Day Movie

Flixster - Share Movies

Eric Dane a gay? I was relieved that the there was only one intimate man-man scene in Valentine's Day movie (I watched it with my 10 y.o. - luckily she understood .. pheww).

Did I regret watching it? Well, I like the Dempsey-wife-Garner dinner encounter, and I loved Garner bashing the pinata the most! Emma Roberts was cool and Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper were sweet, Anne Hathaway was spontaneous and last but not least, Ashton Kutcher was very, very cuddly! It was just a cute movie for Valentine-crazy peeps, that's all.

I was kinda relieved when the movie was over .. too much mushy-mushy??

Movie Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

February 14, 2010, the whole family went out early to catch 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief' @CineLeisure, Ikano Damansara.

The plot was predictable, but it was surely nice to see Uma Thurman as the lovely Medusa and the ex-Bond Pierce Brosnan walked on 4 legs instead of two! The demi-god characters were humbly, though they have so much to be proud of compared to us humans. Somehow, the happenings were scattered around the United States only, like would you believe Mount Olympus is right smack on top of the Empire State Building while Hollywood camouflages the down-under??

All in all, it was nice to get ticket rebates when you pay using AMEX :)

sad ** tsk, tsk ** :'(

what a sad day for me yesterday ..

after my usual Tuesday morning grocery shopping, I bought a box of honey mandarin, a box of honey star, a kilo of crab (yummy dinner pictured in my head). I rushed to drive out from the store only to realize that I, absent-mindedly, left my beloved N86 dangling in a shopping trolley at the parking lot.

i hurried to make a U-turn back to the store, praying that the phone is still waiting for me there or please let a good samaritan come along. i reached there in 10 minutes, but .. alas, all hope was gone.

that was why this is a sad entry.

as a remembrance, i post some photos taken by the late 8MP N86

Top Right, location: MACY year end 2009 warehouse sale; whatchamacallit: capturing the sale frenzy.

Bottom, location: makan bistro; whatchamacallit: testing the cam landscape mode.

Bottom, location: Batu 23, Hulu Langat; whatchamacallit: the river as seen from the place we stay.

R.I.P. N86, with your new owner, wherever you are ...

Happy New Year 2 0 1 0

Happy New Year!!!

.. wait, I am late by 2 months and 8 days.

Sorry, the blogger is not available for comment at this moment.

However, the blogger is sorry that she had not update this site for quite some time.

Please accept my apology that comes with a smile.

Nevertheless, we will celebrate Chinese New Year .. the Year of Tiger on Feb 14, 2010.

So, I guess I am not late literally.

Looking forward to Lion Dance, lokam and mandarin, oh also the red ang pow packet ;-)
