the one that got away

In another life, i will make you stay..



I hate this melancholic feeling.

My forged *ahem*

Have you guys checked out Voltage's new apps? The "My Forged Wedding" app?

What do you think of it? My reaction was, OMG!!!!!

This was way WAY DIFFERENT from Pirates in Love.

Why? Because there was scene of love making in the game! 

Well it was not that obvious, and there were no picture of it but there were conversations like 

" " 

or "..." 

or "...!!!" 

I mean, how obvious is that? 

I was alone in my room when i played the ending but still i can feel that my cheeks are burning hot.

Nevertheless, i'm amused.

update :- There was only one naughty character. The others were quite decent. Hehe, i tried it all.

Wicked Weekend

Last week i spend my precious weekend time flying back and forth just in pursuit of pleasure. So it was a very tiring short trip. Just like the Jakarta trip i did last month, but this one was more tiring. It was, hmmm, let me think, i started the journey on Saturday and finished it by Monday. My travel route Sandakan - Kuala Lumpur - Singapore - Kuala Lumpur - Kota Kinabalu - Hong Kong - Kota Kinabalu - Sandakan. I can't escaped the transits.

My first time in Singapore. The taxi driver was nice. Love the shadowy road to Marina Bay. Love the promenade. Love the atmosphere. 

Love the theater.

Singapore is painfully expensive. Even so, i still failed to remember the currency conversion factor the moment i touched down Singapore.

The view from my hotel room. I stayed at HarbourView Hotel in Hong Kong. Yes, the view was supposedly overlooking the Victoria Harbour, but just look at that, isn't it rather disappointing?

I took a brief walk at the promenade and checked out the golden bauhinia flower before went inside the convention center for Il Divo's concert.

This time i got a really good seat for myself. I was 6 seats away from the stage. And i was expecting a mind blowing performance and stimulating experience. But instead it was rather a disappointment for me. First, the orchestra group changed. Actually i didn't notice the orchestra until the first song started. I don't know about others but i do notice some awkward notes there, but they do get better after the first half. The conductor was the same though. And, i think the acoustic was also a bit disappointing, maybe because the area was big like a stadium. The sound system's 12 feet high speaker was right at my face and i'm still not impressed. Luckily Il Divo's performance was able to cover all the defects. Lessons learned. Next time, choose your venue carefully.

The next morning was my flight home, but before going to the airport i decided to visit Causeway Bay which was on the way. I love the Mc Donald's breakfast variations.

 

 

 

By the way, i took a stroll at Victoria Park and found out that there's a Flower Festival going on at the park! Am i just lucky or what? It was a nice stroll indeed. The air smells of beautiful flower and the sights, oh my eyes just bask at the sight of thousands colouful flower.

On the way to airport, i noticed a building covered with clouds or fogs or whatever that is. I wonder what does it feels to be at the top of that building.

And at the airport, i spent every last dime on useless stuffs. My initial intention was good. I thought of giving Mr.Sully to my niece, but then i remembered her favorite colour is pink, not blue. Besides Mr.Sully is too cute for me to let go. So in the end i decided that i'll have Mr.Sully all to myself.

Love at first sight

It is real.

2nd attempt

... was an epic failure.

But i'll let that go. I have accepted the fact that i might not, ever, be able to taste the heavenly combination of sweet and sour by blueberry and cheese. Oh, they are perfect together.

Then, i went to another cake shop. This time i was ready. I set my mind that i wanted to buy a few slices of cakes for my mother, who is coming to visit me tomorrow. I bought 8 slices and it was easy. Of course i choose the cakes according to my taste.

Back to my office, i made myself a coffee and took a slice to my table. And right now, my coffee almost finish but i'm still staring at the cake.

I CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO EAT THAT GODDAMN CAKE!

This really is the essence of torture. My mouth is watering and yet i could only stare at the cake.

I guess it is for my own good to start eating healthy right now. But if i had known that the hypnosis effect is this serious, i would have a feast before embarking on this journey.

Damn.

Hypnosis

What do you know about hypnosis? In the past, i have always heard stories of people being hypnotized on the street and robbed of all their belonging afterwards. But often when the topic hypnosis being discussed, people (i mean the people around me) quickly to decide that hypnosis is related to black magic. Well, i used to think that way until i saw Keith Barry Deception show on Discovery Channel last night. And yes, it's real. They said that hypnosis was experimented or maybe even practiced by Stalin as well as the CIA. Isn't that scary? The fact the people can plant anything on your mind and you will never know about it.

So that carried me to the iphone apps that said were able to give hypnosis. There's a particular app that suppose to help you lose weight by hypnotizing you. Of course i was skeptical, in the past. This app interest me because the last time i saw it, i made a mental note to myself to make a joke about it later, but then i never get the chance to. So, after seeing Keith Barry show, i thought to myself why don't i give it a try. And so i did.

There's not much i remembered about the session. Only a few things comes to mind, i remembered guide voice telling me that he or she (not sure) want to speak to my unconscious mind, and something about eating healthy, no sweet and fattening food, and maybe an occasional exercise. But the most clear thing i remembered is when the voice tell me to wake up and open my eyes. The session was about 38 minutes, and after it finished i went straight to sleep.

So this morning, i woke up as usual, but i was hungrier than most of my mornings. On the way to work i made my usual stop to the bakery i usually go. I went inside, grab a tray and went to my usual spot where the blueberry cheese buns located. Standing in front of my favorite pastry, wanting picked one but i just can't drive my hand to it. Then, i thought maybe i was just hesitating so i moved on to another spot. This time it was the Nasi Kuning (yellowed rice by turmeric, steamed with coconut milk, and wrapped together with other mixes in banana leaves), and still i cannot bring myself to pick it up. And that time i thought to myself, MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?????!!!!!!!!

I circled around inside the bakery a few times but even then i still cannot picked up my favorite pastry. In the end, i settled for orange juice and 2 slices of sandwich. I mean, who really eat sandwich in the morning? I thought sandwich only served in hospitals? Even when i'm on my strict diet i would never in a million years make a pass on the blueberry cheese buns!

Life without the blueberry cheese bun taste bland.

Yukkss.

But maybe it's just me who overreact.

I will try to buy those blueberry cheese bun again this afternoon.

My first sewing project

I started my first sewing project last Saturday. My first sewing machine cost me RM250. I bought online and the price already include the shipping cost. Mad cheap right? I was skeptical at first. I told myself there's no way that a sewing machine plus delivery cost only RM250. Or, maybe i misunderstood, that it was actually a toy sewing machine. But i say, what the hell, if it really is a scam then i only have to lose RM250 and a lesson to learn. So, i went for it anyway.

The package arrived the next day as the shipping was by PosLaju. The box felt very light. My heart started to race.

Look promising

It's not a toy, but does it work?

So, i finally started to sew, but not without distractions of course.

Tada! Finished in 3 hours.

I almost gave up in the middle, but i have a motivational thought that i kept on repeating to myself the entire time. It was, "Sewing machine could not be any complex than a car, so sewing should be easier than driving a car!"

The dress is not perfect as it seemed. I did quite a few mistake. And the biggest one is that i accidentally cut a hole at the finished bodice. So, that's the reason for the tulle flower pinned there. I thought about covering it with a heart shaped patch but i don't have any fabric that would provide a nice contrast to the dress colour.

I got the dress pattern from BurdaStyle. Very easy to follow. You literally just have to cut and sew.

So, my next project would be a blouse. But first, fabric shopping!

Busy

I'm very busy with works right now. I don't even have time to sit down and plan for my own business. And by the time i got home, i'm all spent, so i went straight to bed. Aside from that, i also have many trips that i need to plan. Check out my trip schedule for this year. Photo taken from my iphone. I think i'm going to bail out on half of them.

Thus, i say, time is a luxury.
