女人我最大 之 心得 1

造型老师说：

穿衣服时，脖子露出越多，人就看起来越高。
所以长颈鹿都那么高。

不一定说要全身都穿名牌才叫漂亮。能够把名牌和非名牌成功地搭配在一起，那才叫厉害。

peanut butter grouses

i hate being middlewoman. espcially when each have their own stories and expect me to translate to the other.
he dun understand u. u dun understand him.
it's miscommunication tats killing all of us.
but trash out your own problems. and do the fix-it man.
and leave me alone.
i have my own troubles also.

penang recollections...

it's general knowledge time! guess wat these sticks are used for??TaDaa! Cracking the shells of 'pang-gang' flowers crab at this seafood restaurant @ bt tambun near penang butterworth some distance awae from my grandma's kampung. YaYYY!!! a few yrs ago when we were there we had these grilled crabs which i could never forget so i wanted them again. But then initially we ordered the wrong cooking method for the flower crabs. i tot "chui" in hokkien means grilled but apparently not. it's steamed. and so the crabs came in soya sauce covered with ginger. nice too but not quite the taste...
So we ordered MORE flower crabs..."pang-gang" please.
they dun use those advanced iron nutcracker tools we use here. neither do u they give u the sticks if you eat steamed or other kinds of saucey crabs. won't wanna get the sticks sticky of cos. hmm..okie the photo doesn't give justice to how nice it tastes... but flower crabs really do taste the best when grilled..the sea-salty sweetness of the flesh just coats your tongue. and u get this 香喷喷 feeling in your mouth lingering after tat! i mean by right steaming is supposed to bring out the freshness in seafood..

but trust me..rubbing a little salt and grilling them over a charcoal fire is the wae to go. i haven't seen grilled crabs anywhere else before tho'.. so guess i can only get then here if i bbq them myself..but then again it ain't easy getting live flower crabs since "flower crabs should be cooked immediately after they are killed"...words of my grandfather always rang when i eat my flower crabs...

erp why am i tokking this wae about food as tho i'm a foodie? uhh not all food lah...i just like gnawing my wae through most edible crustaceans...

on a side note...these are cocoa from the plantation at grandma's kampung...

so i've lost my voice.. *croack* for the past 2 weeks or so.

it started off with tat sore throat which i went to the doc.
no fever and he said "your condition is mild" and then when he asked me anything else i said "can u give me an mc?"
he looked at my patient's card and commented "oh u've been taking quite a bit of mc lately"
OK so i have 2 months ago for a dae and 1 month ago for 2 daes for stomach flu. beats me why i'm so weak this yr...
so wat. we employees are entitled to 14daes of medical leave a yr. u mean cannot use ah?
but i really AM sick wat. my throat was burning me...
and then the "concerned" doc asked me "how many yrs have u worked in the company?" as tho he was worried tat i might incur the wrath of my bosses for too much a disappearing act. Another tell-tale sign tat i was probably a good-for-nothing kiddy worker (read blog entry: halloween)
i dunno why i was so dumb to tell him 3yrs..and then gave him a piece of my mind "i dun take mc if i can OK". then he said ok lah give u one dae off. duhz.
i was so ruffled tat when i took the medicine i told the nurse to tell him off for doubting my work integrity. when i first went to this clinic i already had a feeling that the stoopid doc was the kind who was never empathetic. and i was rite. trust me...i would Never go to this clinic if not for the fact that it's the nearest one from my home where the company recognises the mc.
and he only gave me antibiotics and medicine for running nose. HUH. i never had a single chance of running nose till now lor. he din pre-empt my cough..cos he gave no cough mixture.
bleah.

admittedly i haven't been a good girl tho...went to penang and ate a LOT of heaty stuff..laksa...apong..curry mee..ice kachang... grilled flower crabs *slurp*.. so now after 2 weeks since the mc dae i'm still coughing. and 2 weeks of sleepless nites..cos i always wake up in the middle of the nite to cough. dat dae i even woke up tinking there was an earthquake..but apparently my coughing shook me too much. ha.

but at least i tink i'm recovering now.. *croack* after daes of bland eating...

saw a freaky car accident on my wae to work this early morning..

it was jammed already on the entrance to the expresswae..ok shd be an accident i guess..
spent a long while trying to get into the 3rd lane..and then realised tat 3 lanes were diverting back into the 4th. which means i need to squeeze back to the 4th lane again. sheesh.
and the policeman was waving madly to divert awae traffic from the first lane.
amidst the squeezing i saw.. man lying flat on the ground...white shirt all stained with blood.. a little distance ahead.. a flattened motorcycle. and further ahead.. lorry + van + car caught in a triangular smash. i did not have time to see the others...so i guess the man was the motorcyclist...

i was just 3 lanes awae from the man...so near yet so far...
u dun feel the impact so strongly when u see it on tv...
really 毛骨悚然 and 鸡皮疙瘩...
nothing like witnessing something so gory to remind u of your loved ones..and how 脆弱 life can be...
