Saya sebotol Sarsi.

I’m black and bubbly. My hair was curly. Now it’s drapey. And this is my Singapore story.

Reached the airport around 7pm to catch my flight back home – which was booked for 9 o’clock. The check-in counter lady then told me… “Sorry Sir, you are 10 hours too late.”

FUCK! Then I regained composure and tried to calm myself.

It’s OK. Everybody make mistakes the first time they travel out of Malaysia. Everybody make wrong bookings the first time they travel by plane.

Besides… I have a reputation to uphold.

So I called PersonX in Penang, “Hello? Don’t laugh! I need some help …”

-to be continued…

Its quite remarkable…

… that I still can remember my blog password even after neglecting it for past few day, weeks, whatever. Point is, only for a short while. During the hiatus, I have nothing positive to write. Would it be bad feng shui to immortalise bad stuff forever and ever on a blog, no?

So, in case, and in place of foreseen lack of updates, Merry Christmas, and Gong Xi Fa Cai to u folks.

Only Suka Thai Girl.

My brother brought back something I “designed” in Shanghai 6 months ago. I was there for about a week, but it was only delivered much much later. And they don’t do International shipping.

I know. I admit. WTF was I thinking. I’m finding ways to salvage this pair. Wonder if it helps if I change the lace to white or grey.

Anyway, I also went and did something similar in KL. I’ve read that mi Adidas was finally available at Pavilion so I went make one. I thought it was cool – until I saw it popped up at KennySai’s blog later. Too late, all paid for by then. I signed for the pair yesterday and this is how it’s like…

This one’s a bit better overall – in terms of weight, comfort and design. Weight and comfort got nothing to do with me. The design has got a lot to do with my baby. “NO! CANNOT! You want another McDonald’s shoe izzit?”

But most of all, I like my new Navy/Beige RunSpark the most. By Onitsuka Tiger.

Paiseh, paiseh, paiseh…

Teary-eyed events: Fall for you – Secondhand serenade… la la la…Money Not Enough 2… $ $ $…

I have been so lazy beyond imagination, so sloppy beyond the recognizability of a normal-eyesighted mum, full of excuses till it oozes from the ears, nose and eyes. I haven’t been blogging consistently… I wish to be back… and I’m trying to do exactly that.

My car is still at the workshop in Kuala Kangsar. I called up last week to find out that nothing’s changed yet. Still deformed since the incident where it got hit by the wall about 6 weeks ago. I have since forgiven the wall. So long as it promises to be more careful on the highways.

Business’s been okay. Basically unaffected by the fuel price & inflation. The ups and downs mainly driven by increased competition. A reliable staff left but the void was quickly filled up by another as-reliable old timer. So no problems there. And actually quite happy with the way things are going.

Certain parties have come up with proposals to buy off the whole chain from me for a sum I’ve always thought its worth. The down side is, I may never be able to hit my “1000″ dream and keep the brand name. The up-up-up side however, it gives me the freedom & time to start new things – in KL or Penang.

It has always been my dream to own a restaurant. The day it happens, the blog title will be changed to Simmering Pot.
