confessions of the tol gate girl

ive been super busy. and i hate being busy. i like to surf aimlessly. i like to blog garbage. i like to chat crap all day. give me my 'me' time back please? at least 4 hours a day. please? whaaa..? work? what work? you mean i gotta work? work for what? i hate work. you know that. fine. let's compromise. i make an appearance but i dont have to do anything okay? i already made my appearance!! geez. you peeps are so persistent. crisp starched shirts ain't my thing.

sigh. i envy D. he goes to work wearing the same thing he wears to the mamak on a sunday night. trainers. worn jeans. v neck t-shirts. sometimes when he thinks he has to be dressy, he puts on his converse and a nice watch.

i like meeting people.
i like not having to worry about work wardrobe.
i think i patut kerje tol gate girl.
meet people. wear uniform.
when i have the mood swings, i don't have to smile.
i can drop their coins.
what a riot.

i just realized i have three pairs of gold flats. and i have to have another one. i have to. i have to.
how?

sister says since we're going to Sabah, probably we'll shoe shop at Charles & Keith. And get one. Or five.

Oysters and shoes. I'm gonna love Sabah.

I'm very self-destructive aren't I? Oh well.

This picture is for Alvin. :)
killer chocolate bar laced with caramel and almond and whatnot
chocolate cupcake
peanut butter, chocolate and bananas cupcake.

Mother in law got home from her trip to Montreal.
She got me these cos my mommy told her these were my favorites.

My annoying brother went to his gf's mom birthday dinner.
This was her birthday cake. How cute. Chocolate mud pie inside.

my sister says its disgusting to combine sweet and savory

D is apparently eating healthy. Mummy tested his sugar level.
He has the highest sugar level in the house. Borderlining dangerous.

im on leave from tomorrow till 2008. Can you believe it? Neither can i. Something shitty will probably happen and they're gonna call me to the office. I just know it.

btw, i watched SHROOMS with D in bed last night. I love/hate thrillers and usually end up hiding under the pillow. I watched the first 10 minutes then closed my eyes during the scary parts. then i fell asleep. and woke up 10 minutes before the end. I understood the movie anyways. it was that lame. D remarked 'tah apa2 kan?' and i replied ' tu la. lame storyline'. He didnt realize i fell asleep. sorry babes.

He's been busy doing his bike thingy lately. Comes home with pacat bites and scratches all over. Good boy.

the butterfly loves my other half.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha.

Merry Xmas to my favorite gal, Kath Math!

whatever, betch

dear readers,

we think that one (or two) people here might be irritated/annoyed/envious/irked about us and how we live our lives. we don't mind them as we don't really mean anyone harm. but to the extent that some of these arrogant ignorants ARE stalking us is rather disturbing especially when we already know who they are.

we don't care as long as we're happy if everyone wants to be friends with us, vice versa. besides secretly reading our blog and betch-ing us in their own is kind of lame rather confronting us. we just think these people are waaaaaaaaaaay ninnies in their pants even to look us in the eyes. sigh we're sorry for them really... no, really - NOT!

anyways, if someone always find their titties kinda rocking and tingling, he/she can always go fly kite (or kites?)...

no? haha!

word of advice. when you start to hate someone out of nothingness and you tell others how much you don't like the person, in the end others won't like you at all. stop comparing about how perfect your life is than what we have. in the end it brings you down smack right to the ground. feel free to bad mouth about others if it does make you feel any better but certainly bitching doesn't do you good. there are other things in this world you can do. do something useful with your life.

LIKE TRY FIGURING OUT HOW TO PUT IN THE BATTERIES IN YOUR BATTERY-OPERATED SELF PLEASURE MACHINE OF YOURS. THAT DEPRIVATION OF PLEASURE IS SERIOUSLY MAKING YOU FEEL BITTER.

sekian terima kasih.

ps: sapa ada masalah ngan isteri mari sini jawab ngan aku dulu. saya tak suka cakap banyak tu pasal saya dah lama tak nulis kat blog ni. saya suka layan naik beskal skang. tapi sapa2 rasa nak kena jolok hidung ngan handlebar beskal saya, cuba2 lah buat hal ngan isteri saya. takpe kalau nak mintak maaf pun boleh, raya haji nak dekat. beres?

its sad the way you secretly envy me..

it was a week of self-indulgence. too much. too good.

eat in moderation

ever since D bought home those chunky cupcakes with layers of gourmet chocolate and cream cheese, Mummy has been a huge fan. Once he bought home 1 cupcake for me as to celebrate the completion of my puasa 6, Mummy remarked, "SATU JEK???"

LOL.

D and i planned to go cycling after dinner last nite. Then during dinner mummy told me she needed to go back to the office. apparently she left her briefcase on the tembok at the parking lot. The security guard was holding on to it for her and now she needed to go back and pick it up. and she wanted to go to the cupcake store.

i canceled with D and proceeded to tag mummy back to her office. then to the little shop for cupcakes. the cupcakes retail@6.50, chocolate bars@6.50, pasta@13.50 and ciabatta sandwiches@16.00.

i dont mind the prices. cos they're not ridiculously tiny sponge cakes with fancy toppings like some 'designer' ones. the cupcakes yesterday tasted more like sliced cake baked in a cup. huge cup. truly rich and delicious. vanilla sponge? what the hell is that?

i saw this really yummy chocolate bar. rocky road chocolate bar. marshmallows, almonds, jelly beans held together by amazing milk chocolate with a base of chewy coconut and chocolate. sinful. absolute sinful.

i ate half last nite and another half for breakfast this morning, thanks for asking. and no, i dont feel sick eating chocolate for breakfast. in fact, i've never felt healthier.

i also bought a raspberry and cream cheese cupcake, a peanut butter and chocolate cupcake and a dark chocolate with marshmallow topping cupcake. and a smoked salmon and cream cheese ciabatta sandwich and some pasta for D.

tragic end to a beautiful piece.

lunch today. i heart smoked salmon.

mummy on the other hand, went completely mad.
she started jabbing on the glass display.

"i want one of that, one of that and one of that. and then another one of that and two of that. and another one of that. and add another two of that"

geez.

she ended up with half a dozen cupcakes, lasagna, spaghetti, roast beef ciabatta sandwich and some other stuff. after starting her engine she said

"i should've bought another lasagna y'know?"

i gave my boss one cupcake since yesterday was her birthday and useless me almost forgot. chocolates kan, pompuan mane would say no.

i gave another cupcake to my PR Manager. His birthday was on Saturday. I forgot that too.
And he's a pompuan oso. Almost.

Another cupcake wasn't packed by the useless counter people. I came home, counted my cupcakes, saw one missing and whipped out the receipt and called them up.

Am expecting a cupcake when i get home. Thank you.

[10:34:23 AM] carrie bradshaw says: best ke?
[10:34:31 AM] carrie bradshaw says: is the pasta good or sucks
[10:34:35 AM] carrie bradshaw says: cos it looks yummy
[10:34:41 AM] roboto-san says: its ok ok only
[10:34:50 AM] roboto-san says: your pasta tastes waaaaaaay better

yes i know. he always says the right thing. even when its its not so right. like when i buy him gourmet pasta for lunch and he says 'its ok ok only'.

anyways. talking about food makes me hungry. sigh.

we had a great surprise this morning. i was struggling with my mascara, D was reading on the toilet seat when mummy called.

i got seats to go Hanoi. I booked for the kids. Korang nak ikut?
Hanoi?
kalau nak mummy book kan.
selain dari Hanoi takde ke tempat lain?
ade..ade phuket, krabi, bangkok....
bangkok la!
bangkok?
aah bangkok!
okay.

D yells from inside the toilet.

where are we going now?
bangkok. mummy dah book kan
bangkok?
yeah. one week. im excited.
bangkok?
bye. i'm late for work.
have you been to bangkok?
yeah like when i was three.
okay then. bangkok is good.

bangkok. maybe they have cupcakes with cockroach filling. or chocolate covered maggots.

weekend images

i'm still tired from the 7-hour race last Saturday. not up for much ranting. have a look at pictures yeah? my butt and thighs are sore walking from LRT Raja Chulan right up to Menara KL at 12.45 noon. i'm not an outdoorsy person. and i'd never thought i'd be caught dead wearing the company's t-shirt at Pavilion, Bukit Bintang. On a Saturday. During Mega Sale. Oh well.

friday;
D went for a 35km biking thingy with a group of people.
I went to shop for sweatpants for tomorrow's event with my sister.
came home with a top, pants, belt and kinky lingerie.
almost forgot the sweatpants.
almost.

saturday;
the company's very own amazing race.
7 hours.
shopped for mummy's birthday gift @ estee lauder.
sent D's brother home. He had been staying at our place for one week.
had a tomyum steamboat dinner. burnt tongue.
passed out. exhausted.

sunday;
mummy's 50th birthday.
i cooked lunch.
D and I planned to go Ikea, maybe buy a tv, maybe buy shelves.
we ended up napping the entire afternoon.
we took mummy to a seafood birthday dinner.

that's not mummy.

things i discovered during the weekend;

1. the monorail is freaking scary. it's like a roller coaster. no tracks. just hoisted up in the air with clipped wheels. feels like hanging in mid-air.
2. the public transportation in KL is in fact, very convenient.
3. asking for direction always helps. even though you think you know. trust me, you don't.
4. walking is still no fun. especially in KL at 12.45 midday.
5. when falling flat on your knees at the traffic light in Bintang Walk during the traffic jam, its best to pretend the ankle is sprained and have people sympathize rather than laughing because of your sheer stupidity.
6. robinsons@the gardens has an amazing shoe collection.
7. i have more shoes than i think i have. At least five more.
8. im able to consume the jumbo bar of cadbury in under one hour. and not get sick.
9. even if it's steamboat, its no excuse to eat it while it's boiling hot. tongue - burn.
10. benefit has the besterestest make-up range. hands down.
