I Heart Victoria’s Secret

You know what’s funny? I’ve always thought that my puberty was terbantut because every guy in my class or guys that I know teased me about the size of my boobs. Someone even spread a rumor back in secondary school days that I actually stuff tissue in my bra to make my boobs look fuller -_- but let’s not go there. Btw it’s not true okay!

Anyway, like I said, I’ve always thought my boobs were retarded because they stopped growing after a while and they were nowhere near the size of my mumsy’s bosom. And I was stupid enough to wear oversized bras to sleep at night in hope of them growing into the cup size while I’m sleeping wtf. Eventually, I gave up and accepted my fate, hahahahaha. At least I’m blessed with a fleshy ass, HA!

But my love for sexy lingerie never died, lol. I fell in love with my mum’s black lace bra when I first set eyes on them. They reminded me of the ones Julia Roberts wore in “Pretty Woman”. My mum let me wear them for my aunt’s wedding dinner one night but it didn’t fit me at all, I was way too small hahahaha. So unfair! I love sexy lace bra but why can’t I wear one?!

Since I couldn’t wear any lace bra, I could only make do with other bras – cotton bra, sports bra, t-shirt bra, you name it. I bought and wore so many different brands of bras and believe it or not, I never had a favorite. Triumph and Kayser bras gave me flesh cuts. I wore my strapless Kayser bra to my graduation last year and it was unbearably painful I had to take it off once I stepped out of the hall and hid the bra in my handbag wtf, HAHAHAHA. When I got home and checked, I had a big bruise/blood clot in between my boobs T_T

Triumph and Wacoal bras don’t really last – the wires usually stick out at the sides after 1 year. Triumph bras don’t give me good side support as well. Plus it’s seriously overpriced in Malaysia! You can actually get a Triumph Maximiser bra for only $10 here in K-Mart. Didn’t get one though after trying ‘cos the paddings were ridiculously thick I’d be cheating if I wore them, lol! Elle McPherson was the one I least complained about. Love their romantic range with frills and satin. They weren’t really fitting for me though. I have a feeling I’ve had numerous unknown nip-slips when I bend down -_-

My point is, I was never satisfied with any of the bras that I bought or wore, and I thought that was normal because I wasn’t born with “normal” breasts. Not until I came across this post one day and decided to give Victoria’s Secret a try. VS is famous for their lingerie, I know that. I just don’t know whether they’d fit me or not considering my boobs are next to nothing if compared with angmoh girls’. She triggered the itch in me and so I browsed VS’s website that entire night and placed an order for an obscene amount of money hahaha. But it was worth it. You’ll see.

I just got my package today – a week later than scheduled because the postman only sent me a final notice yesterday but there were no prior notices?! Anyhow I was SO anxious to open my package I headed home during lunchtime just so I could try them on, hahaha!!!

I had to take this photo first before opening the plastic bags like a crazy woman.

First thing I tried on was their lace demi bra – as recommended by creativebitchin, and I fell in love with it instantly! It’s an unlined bra but fits so much better than all the other bras that I wear. Unpadded but gives you a firm lift and a nice shape. I like the fact that it’s unpadded because it feels more natural when I touch it, HAHAHA. /coughs

It’s also super, super comfy why is that!! I can finally wear a sexy lace bra without looking like a 10-year-old in her mother’s bra. /teary eyes

I feel like I’ve been wearing all the wrong bras my entire life -_- Doubt if I’ll ever buy any other brand besides VS from now on.

In an extremely good mood now because I’m happy when my boobs are happy =D

Racing with Time

I just finished my assignment last night after a whole week of intensive reading & re-reading of Standards and cracking of my head. And just when I slowed down to take a deep breath, instead of feeling a sense of relief, I was thrown insult in my face.

My final focus session is due in 3 weeks and instead of a 1-month interval between the final focus session and the exam, I only have 2 weeks! @#&*$^(!(@#&)%

It just sucks to be me. Really. I have so much to do, and so little time! I will pray really, really, really hard for this one because if I pass this unit, I can happily enjoy my Christmas holiday and my 5-months break from Jan to May next year. Perhaps then will be the time for a little vacation yeah?

Morning Walks

I’m loving my new morning walks to the office nowadays. Picked up the walking routine a couple of weeks back now that the sun is out again. I enjoy the quiet streets, the chirping birds, the beautiful gardens, and the white picket fences.

I cycled to work after lunch today. You have a bicycle? Yes, I do, haha. Bought Wing Kin a bicycle as his birthday present and I bought myself one as well just so we can go cycling together when we feel like it =)

The first time we cycled with our new bikes, we headed to the Claremont Jetty and we saw dolphins in the river!! It was my first time seeing dolphins swimming freely in the waters as I’ve only seen trained ones in theme parks before this. It was soooo cute and I went aww…… right away

It has also been a while since Kin and I went out to pakto so we went to watch ‘Inglorious Basterds’ by Quentin Tarantino last Friday night with the free tickets my colleague gave me. We enjoyed it a lot and I’ve always been a fan of Quentin’s masterpieces. The only unpleasant experience we had while watching the movie was having someone farting behind us. Twice! When the movie finished, we were anxious to see who were sitting behind us. Turned out there were 2 young boys and an elderly couple. Kin thinks it should’ve been the old man and maybe he’s a little too old to control his farts. -_-

Bosses are away for a holiday to Hong Kong for the next 2 weeks. My assignment is due next Monday so that means I only have 2 more days & 5 more nights to complete it. That includes tonight. I’ve only just written a brief answer for question 1. Still 6 more questions to go. I wish I were awesome enough to say, “I can nail this easily!” I am so treating myself something good once this unit is over!

Bayi’s 24th

It’s bayi’s birthday today!! Happy birthday baby!

We had a BBQ at Meng’s last night as an early celebration. Invited a couple of friends over for a short get-together. It was great seeing everyone again but the weather was very chilly last night, brrrr…… The first thing I asked when I saw Cheok Pei was, “Why is your hair so long? Why didn’t you go for a haircut?” HAHAHAHA. And they said I’m such a Miss-Lee

I was so hungry already by then, and also dead tired after a long day attending classes. The best thing was I didn’t have to cook, the guys did all the cooking, muahahaha. I basically just sat there, drank my lemon tea and shared some cold jokes with others to which Vivien cruelly replied, “It’s funny meh? It’s not funny at all loh…”

Awake

It’s 2 a.m. and I am wide awake thanks to the cup of bubble milk tea I had 2.5 hours ago. I am not crazy to wake up just to type this entry. I just know there’s no point continuing to stay in bed, shutting my eyes tight and trying my best to make myself fall asleep ‘cos my mind just can’t stop thinking.

It’s like playing a game with multiple maps. Each map lasts for only 20 seconds tops and then the scene changes and here you go again. Thing is, this goes on continuously until you’re convinced that your mind is exhausted but it refuses to rest.

2:10 a.m. : Still playing Spider Solitaire. Yawned once. Still not feeling sleepy, help!

Oh, I have some great news. I passed my audit unit, thank God! I just attended my financial accounting focus session today and I’ve never felt that lost before with the two previous units that I did. I have a bad feeling that I ain’t going to make it for this one. Sigh. Thing is, I don’t really know why am I doing this. Well, I do know the practical reasons why – because it’ll provide me a professional status and my career path will be guaranteed. But in terms of what I really wanna do for my life, I’m not sure if this is it? But I’m not really given any other choices am I?

Anyway, it’s pretty late now and I don’t wanna stay up till 3 a.m. all by myself in front of the pc. I read the synopsis of “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” a couple of weeks ago and it said that 3 a.m. is usually the time where the devil comes out to “play”. WTF. Okay, I’m hoping my self-hypnotizing method will work this time. Bye.

Time to Get Busy

It’s going to be a busy weekend for me.

My colleague gave me 2 free tickets to the movies and they’re expiring tomorrow so I have to find time to squeeze myself in for some big screen entertainment.

I have a 7.5 hours of focus session this Saturday for my CA program. Yep, I managed to write in to them so they had switched me to the 2-weekends classes instead of the 4-weekdays classes. Yay!

My result for my audit unit will be released at noon today. I don’t think I prayed hard enough this time

Halloween is this Saturday as well! I initially wanted to organize a small little Halloween party so people can dress up and have some silly fun together but I thought, what if I fail my exam? I wouldn’t be in a mood for a party at all! So yea… No halloween party I suppose.

It’s bayi’s 24th birthday this Sunday!!! Hehehehehe. Will bake him a birthday cake on that day Well technically, I’ll use it as a birthday cake only if it comes out presentable! Otherwise, someone will just have to buy him a cake, hahahahaha!!! But ey! Should still eat my cake okay! There should be some sort of a birthday party that day. I’m contemplating between a BBQ or a pot luck. Hmmm……

So it doesn’t seem like a bad weekend at all! Except that I have an assignment due in like… 10 DAYS!

Ok back to work bye.

Lard = The Glory of Kolo Mee

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!! I may have not blogged about this before but I went through a period of time where I craved for gan mien soooo much so I googled up recipes for kolo mee and well, guess what I found!!! The heavenly kolo mee recipe by studentonabudget!!! My gosh I was soooo excited, so happy, so touched (‘cos finally can eat gan mien in Australia T_T), so emo etc wtf.

BUT! I was basically thrown back to hell after being in heaven for that few minutes – because I found out that I’d need lard for the ingredients. And no, I can’t substitute it for any other oil/animal fat/vegetable fat/whatever ‘cos it just won’t taste the same!

At first I was hopeful. I thought I’d be able to find them as long as my will is strong and my heart is determined (wtf). But most of the supermarkets I visited disappointed me. Well, I found duck fat and ducks are not pigs are they. =( So I thought oh well, maybe I’ll have to try oriental stores instead since Asians are more likely to cook & consume unhealthy food compared to the angmohs, hahahaha. But everytime I asked the owners of the stores if they sell lard, they look at me like I’m a crazy woman asking if they sell cow dung

In the end, I had NO CHOICE but to buy a block of animal fat from the supermarket WTFFFF. The result of my first gan mien attempt? FAIL. I think the animal fat was a mixture of lamb fat/duck fat/chicken fat/pork fat that I felt sick at just the thought of it. But I finished my plate nonetheless. /digs throat and vomits

Several months later…… I was browsing through the cheese and dips area in IGA one evening and suddenly, my instincts told me to look at the 38th item from the left on the top row and I just couldn’t believe my eyes ‘cos the 4 sweet letters on that white innocent tub spelt L-A-R-D.

This time, the dish tasted sooooooo much better although I still can’t find the perfect noodles to imitate the real thing.

Gan mien lovers overseas or in Semenanjung who crave for a bowl of goodness now should IMMEDIATELY RUSH OUT TO GET YOUR TUB OF LARD AND START COOKING!

A zillion thanks to studentonabudget once again!

I love my lard.

Bad Day

What makes a bad day for me?

• Repetitive errors at work. Don’t know how many trees I cut down today with all those papers that I printed
• Having a dimwit client for forgetting her appointment with me at LUNCH TIME. I couldn’t head out for lunch and finally resolved to cooking instant noodles in the office pantry. Argh!
• Irritable bowel syndrome. Diarrhea twice today. Ugh!
• Freaking spilled soy sauce all over myself, my study material, my chair, the floor during dinner. And I thought having free dinner was such a blessing (client brought us sushi and fresh skin spring rolls this evening)! Not that it isn’t, but something bad just had to happen to me.
• PMS. Yes, blame it all on PMS. Having crazy, dramatic mood swings now! Smelling like soy sauce now doesn’t help a least bit either.
• Shaped internet. Seriously, 64kbps? I’m amazed that I can still load blogs that I read though.

Guess the only good thing that happened to me today was watching “The Queen” by Helen Mirren. Loved it!

Roti Canai

Yours truly attempted an Indian cuisine yesterday – none other than the famous Roti Canai dish! Man, I missed roti canai sooo much and everytime I order one in Makan-Makan, I get drowned in disappointment. They don’t even serve you any meat at all! Just a big piece of bread with a stingy scoop of curry sauce. And it isn’t even tasty =(

This time around, I decided to cook this dish myself! Well, it wasn’t entirely done by myself. I bought the curry paste from Kong’s Oriential supermarket. Just needed to add chicken pieces, potatoes & coconut milk, lol. Oh, and I didn’t make the roti prata myself too. Kong’s sells frozen ones and they taste exactly the same like the ones you find back in Malaysia – minus the freshness.

The result? It was sooooo, sooooo good. I added a bit of water to the curry since Wing Kin can’t take spicy food and guess what, he loved it! I came home from church (cooked the dish before I left the house) and he was telling me how abso*******lutely awesome it was, hahahahaha.

So I sat down at the dining table, thrilled with anticipation while he served me my plate. He insisted I tear & dip the bread with my hands, hahahaha and that very first taste was foodorgasmic!

I can sell this thing man!
