a nite in bali

aaa. at last we get to meet shane for a birthday dinner in bumbu bali. and of course she's there as it was for her :) . gapi, shane and myself had a great time catching up and laughing our heads off - thanks to the beer and coconut. gapi la. insisted she wanted toddy and the closest we can get her is the coconut. ahahha.

although the food was not as good as before, we still enjoyed it very much especially the pasta. the brownie was fudgy but ice cream tasted cheap. should get a richer vanilla ice cream to compliment the lovely brownie. the staffs were surprisingly friendlier that nite but was stingy - cant even give free scoop of ice cream for the bday girl. ok. they provided a free candle. they should improve on their service as it is the first restaurant that didnt conjure up something when i announced that we were celebrating a birthday. even kfc and mcd gave complimentary set of meal when i did the birthday stun.

shane - welcome to the 3-0 league!
psstpsst : shane... when will you be bringing us in your spanking new civic??

attempted break in...

not sure when it happened but just noticed yesterday when i was sweeping the floor yesterday. someone attempted to break in to my house!! 2 holes were drilled in 2 of the glass doors... not sure what the burglar trying to do but thank god, the attempts were abandon else i wont be writing this now. made a police report and the police who came to survey the crime scene was just as perplex. according to him, in his 3 years of pecah rumah cases he investigated, this is his first encounter with a break in drilling such perfect holes. must be some canggih equipment. he also pointed out that it might be using some water as we can see water traces after he dusted the marks with those finger print detector powder. unfortunately no finger prints were lifted. guess i have to be more vigilante now on...

santa claus is coming to town

yes... he is coming to town dancing his butt off. after bridget's wedding ceremony, and since the day is still young and as kaki jalans, swee n me decided to go SHOPPING in pyramid! managed to grab some stuff that were on sale and also the latest vibration on chin toi for bridget's n hubby's pleasure. the ground floor was decked with xmas goodies and had quite a festive mood. but i was most attracted to the dancing santa..

you better watch out,

you better not cry,

better not pout,

i'm telling you why

santa claus is dancing in town ...

bridget's BIG day

finally.. bridget traditionally tied the knot. it was a simple but happy event. i went totally trigger happy - shooting and suggesting poses for bridget's photographer (who is quite cute actually...).

swee and me became 2 of her chi mus - passively as we were in the room with her until chim braved all the obstacles. unfortunately, the other chi mus squandered our share of the lai see - grrrr. ha ha. luckily bridget promised to give bigger ones to us later :)

my battery ran out in bridget&chim's house.. bugger... these pictures taken using my booboo hp camera which was set to smallest size ... bugger...

... my photo shooting @ klang ...

cute pie siang siang

had dinner with khaishen and family in a nyonya-thai restaurant, bibi wok. food was so so but atmostphere quite nice. siang2 the new kid on the block is such a cute pie.

my virgin photography contest entry

nope it got nothing to do with breaking of the hymen or stuff. it's my foray into photography contest... i received an email invitation to enter a photography contest jointly organised by national geographic channel and nikon (http://www.ngcasia.com/nikon/eng/index.htm) - "yellow to me" theme. so i thought why not. the prizes are good. a nikon d80! but yellow? hmm. thought of taking a photo of company's van or something since it's so yellow but what's so passionate it's to me. besides looking forward towards the end of month, currently i'm not really excited working. hmm... unless i describe the photo as "yellow to me" is ... $$ = life = happiness. ha ha ha.
so i dig around. aha! i got many many sunflowers photos which are so yellow... well i love flowers. and i have loads of flowers' photo from my garden. i even have a photo of a siamese sunflower that i had grown... but decided against it as the photo quality isnt that great and nothing much to tell about it.

so i decided to submit the macro shot of the sunflower. gave it a catchy title - stigmata. dont know what to put for "yellow to me is...". well, life kua since i am submitting a flower with it's sex organs enlarged... description... hmm... read some where on meaning of yellow. so "copied" the idea.. yellow is earth where life sprouts ... then i continued yellow is the sun with it's life-sustaining rays (or something like tat)... the picture depicts the sunflower reproduction system which creates life and needs both the earth and sun? hmm.. sounds corny but hey, cant blame a gal for trying....
