Don't tell me you haven't watched it yet! It's like the ultimate movie for females. After watching the movie, females would have a new found inspiration and excuse to do more shopping. Haha!<br /><br />By the way, in case you shopaholics are miraculously tied up with work or whatever it is that is taking up your retail therapy time, here's an idea. Online shopping. It's fabulous! I mean, at online shopping websites like ShopWiki, you could find anything and everything at all. For instance, if you are looking for <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Birthday+Gifts">birthday gifts</a> or a <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/">housewarming gift</a>, ShopWiki have it. Then there are even stuff for techie guys like <a href="http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Wireless+routers">wireless routers</a> and computer software. I mean there are stuff for any possible occasions to be found.<br /><br />ShopWiki is really a revolutionized online shop where you can practically shop till you drop. Rebecca Bloomwood would be proud!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=";font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:12;" ></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5378387613351287880-5848523347215241737?l=slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com'/></div>SlowCatchUpKuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06810554201254516245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378387613351287880.post-30001188122782465362009-02-26T08:55:00.003+08:002009-03-18T19:56:51.590+08:00Land Of Smiles<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />I'm heading to the Land of Smiles aka Thailand tonight.

I grew up with stories of Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes so it's only natural now that i'm an adult, i love watching <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=32538&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.5minutemystery.com" rel="nofollow">mystery</a> movies and playing detective board games such as Scotland Yard and Cluedo.<br /><br />You know now there are even such online games where you can practice your sleuthing skills. The "5 Minute Mystery" has a wide range of short mysteries for you to solve. All you need to do is read the mystery and look for clues, identify the suspects and try to earn points and ranking by solving the mystery. The challenging mysteries will be posted every Monday and Friday. "5 Minute Mystery" was even featured on ABC News (Click here: <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=6195288">http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=6195288</a>). <br /><br />But there's a catch. You need to sign up for a fee to enjoy the game but it's not much, just $9.95 per year. It's worth it because tis site will definitely train your mind to be more analytical and alert.<br /><br />Right now i'm trying to solve a mystery called "A Mystery at the Detective's Office". I'm trying to figure out who stole the rent money of one of the occupant in the building. Come help me figure it out!<br /><br /><br /><br /><map name="map2333"><area href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=32538&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.5minutemystery.com" shape="rect" coords="0,0,206,45" rel="nofollow"><area href="http://socialspark.com/code_of_ethics" shape="rect" coords="207,0,225,45" rel="nofollow"></map><img alt="Post?slot_id=32538&url=http%3a%2f%2fsocialspark" src="http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=32538&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2Fdisclosure_badge_grey.png" style="border: 0pt none ;" usemap="#map2333" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5378387613351287880-4211607561624342507?l=slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com'/></div>SlowCatchUpKuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06810554201254516245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378387613351287880.post-80473781938974680072009-02-17T11:05:00.003+08:002009-02-17T18:40:00.909+08:00Dao Mei<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />As expected, our Valentine's Day turned out to be another disaster. But it's ok coz we were sooooo unlucky that day, it was funny.<br /><br />You know, Valentine's Day is really like a Black Friday for us. Everything that we planned to do will be a flop... without fail each year. The last 2 Valentines, we ended up with a huge argument and we had to postponed the celebration coz i was not done sulking >_<. So, we kind of agreed and made a pack not to buy gifts or celebrate Valentine's Day this year or maybe the years after. It's not like i'm a grinch or don't like to be lovey dovey for a day but i think our birth dates clashes with Valentine's Day or something, bad things just happends to us on Vday and <s>Mr. Bf isn't really the romantic type ler</s> hey, i'm running out of idea on gifts too ok. Who isn't right? Haha. Right.<br /><br />Even so, that didn't stopped us from having a rotten day on V-day. First we were stuck in the traffic for like forever. It was early afternoon but already the roads are packed with vehicles. We were there looking for a certain backpack for trekking use just because his friend, Kelvin told us that the shop at KLCC have that particular one that we were looking for. </span><span style="font-size:100%;">It took us double the time to get to KLCC and we were cranky and nearly screamed at each other in the car. Then we found out the shop doesn't even carry that brand of backpack</span>! Wtf! We're so going to kill him!<br /><br />Since we were at KLCC we went to CIMB to open a joint account. We waited almost an hour in the queue and when it was our turn the stupid Malay woman eyed suspiciously me up and down and started interogating us. I mean it's just a joint account wat? It's not like we're smuggling fake money or wat! Somemore when i asked her about foreign cheques she launched into a long speech on how the bank is going to charge high fees to clear it then how it's not worth cashing out the cheque. Wtf. When i asked her about the fees she just shrugged and say she don't know. In the end we were so frustrated we didn't open the account.<br /><br />When it rains it pours. We thought having a hot meal would make us forget the bad day, and we had the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.kuanfoodfetish.com/2009/02/little-taiwan-avenue-k.html/">worst lunch i ever had</a>. The food sucks big time! We spend the rest of the day caught in traffic driving to the Curve and 1U. I couldn't even find the handbag that i wanted. Then on the way back home there was another round of traffic. Grrrr!<br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Now i really believe Valentine's are not in our feng shui book.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5378387613351287880-8047378193897468007?l=slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com'/></div>SlowCatchUpKuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06810554201254516245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378387613351287880.post-13093827447030297772009-02-13T18:01:00.003+08:002009-02-13T23:21:13.665+08:00Happy Valentine's MyB<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />MyB,<br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day!!

A girl has only got so many ways of professing her undying love alright? Ok, i'm glad you agree with me like always.<br /><br />So, for this Valentine all i want is to tell you that i love you and that i wish you will take better care of your health because i just can't imagine life without you... although i wouldn't mind a trip to Spain, a diamond necklace or a ring, a Kate Spade or even a house in Desa Park City.

The article in New York Times was about the hassle and on how getting prescriptive glasses is costing the public a bomb. Luckily, the article also gives some very useful tips and information on how to minimize the cost. It's all about <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/23/health/policy/23patient.html">Seeing Straight Without Breaking Bank</a>!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/3273583474/" title="d_9019 by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3424/3273583474_611336110d_o.jpg" alt="d_9019" width="466" height="137" /></a><br /><br /><br />So, it's actually not surprising that Zenni was featured in the article.

Mr. Bf relented to my annoying pester and downloaded the movie. It's suppose to be some very famous p0rn movie complete with pirates costumes, ships and CGI. The ultimate p0rn movie konon lar.<br /><br />To give credit the movie did really looked like an actual 2 hour movie, none of those cheapskate p0rn where they focus on people banging (ermmm sorry i don't know how else to describe). But 2 hour is too much. Halfway through the show i still had no idea what is going on except who banged who and then i gave up. Bah!<br /><br />Hey i want Slumdog Millionaire. Who's got it? Lend me please? Pretty please?<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />I was lying on the bed and a thought came into my mind. I had to blog about it so 10 years from now i could read back the entry and remember what a genius <s>not</s> i was... am.<br /><br />Anyways, i was wondering if the treats and character of a person is due to genetics. Does naughty kids inherit their naughtiness from their parents and their parents from their parents and so on? People are emotional, selfish, kiasu, filial because of genes? I know some people do believe it has got to do with genes. But it's difficult to determined isn't it? Kids grow up adapting to environment. Even twins have separate and distinct characteristics.<br /><br />I wonder if i have 3 kids and i quarantine them, make them wear the same clothes, eat the same food, play with the same friends, and are given the same amount of love, the bottom line is everything they have would be 100% equal, how would they turn out to be. Would they behave the same? Will they have similar behaviour? I wonder...<br /><br />But even though the child are given material things in equal, humans are naturally bias. Parents would deny it but they do have their favorites among their children. No parents could possibly admit loving all their kids equally.

Just when an artist worth watching like Jason Mraz is coming to shore i can't attend it.<br /><br />It sucks! I hope it rains and flood or the stadium collapse or something. I hope the concert is cancelled coz i'm so envious of those kiasu people who gets to watch Jason Mraz. I'm going to do a rain dance in Chiang Mai on the concert day and hope it rains hard and harder and even harder till the concert is cancelled.<br /><br />Now i'm wondering when is Cold Play ever going to come to town. If i miss that i'm going to kill myself -_-".<br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5378387613351287880-1322368758699603896?l=slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com'/></div>SlowCatchUpKuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06810554201254516245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378387613351287880.post-57428516115330537352009-02-07T10:15:00.000+08:002009-02-07T10:40:50.690+08:00Meet Barbie and Lili<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Hello, meet Barbie.<br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q2koNJzxJik/SYww9eaNhMI/AAAAAAAAAcc/XXrv-FgR-gA/s1600-h/barbie-large.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q2koNJzxJik/SYww9eaNhMI/AAAAAAAAAcc/XXrv-FgR-gA/s400/barbie-large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299664694201386178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Did you own a Barbie doll once? I did. Ok, i didn't but my elder sister did. I got it later (i think i was 8 or 9) because younger siblings in those days always gets the hand-me-downs. Don't gape in disbelieve all you spoiled brats! Yes, we didn't have new stuffs back in those days, most is old stuffs handed down from siblings or cousins. My old monopoly and scrabble set were from my cousin sister, my Enid Blyton books are from her too, some of my dresses were my elder sisters, i played with a second-hand remote controlled Hot-Wheels car when i was small. I was a little tom-boyish and blame it on my cousin brother for dumping the wheels at my home. If i never get married now i blame it on him too. -_-"<br /><br />Well, this is what happened to my second-hand Barbie.<br /><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q2koNJzxJik/SYvSn5DYJkI/AAAAAAAAAcM/rSl9-zyBEoY/s1600-h/beheaded+barbie.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 251px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q2koNJzxJik/SYvSn5DYJkI/AAAAAAAAAcM/rSl9-zyBEoY/s400/beheaded+barbie.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299560969303238210" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Beheaded</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Not exactly. Actually, i pulled out the plastic hands and legs too. I wished i were smart enough to take a picture of the poor Barbie then so i'd have proof of my masterpiece. But wtf, back then i only knew to play, eat, avoid homework and to mutiliate dolls then hide it under the mattress. My sister would have strangled me if she discovered her beloved doll was part of a homicide scene.<br /><br />I never liked Barbies. Man, i think i was a budding feminist even back then. <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">*wakaka yeah right!</span> Ok, i think not but i never understood what was so fun dressing up the doll and pretending it was going to a party or meeting up with Ken.

Haha.<br /><br />According to wikipedia, Lili was a post-war icon (it's based on a German cartoon character) and had no reservations talking about sex. She's been known to have dialogues like "As you were angry when I was late this morning I will leave the office at five p.m. sharp!") or to a policeman who told her that two-piece-swimsuits are banned: "Which piece do you want me to take off?". Shocking right? The gal's feisty and got character wei. Haha. And her outfit are very sassy and sexy too.<br /><br />I's pick Lili over Barbie anytime.

Actually we wanted to get the fist day cover but we were too late and most post offices that we inquire had ran out of my school stamps. Fortunately the main post office at Dayabumi still have them. So we bought 2 sets and i of course had to get extra CBN stamps for my sisters! LOL.<br /><br />And might i mention the lady at the post office was supper nice too. :P<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/3256000884/" title="cbn stamps by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3112/3256000884_7a9f36d364_o.jpg" alt="cbn stamps" width="350" height="466" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Convent Bukit Nanas (CBN)</span></span><br /><br /><br />Damn i miss my school. I just mentioned to him how i missed the celebrations when i was in school. The Family Day, Canteen Day, Everybody Day and the likes.<br /><br />Damn i miss the flower request and popcorn request and other junk request the clubs came up with! If you didn't know, it's something the clubs came up with to make money. The members would hold something like a flower request or candy request then distribute the request form to each classes. There are columns for sender, dedication and receiver. The member would collect the forms and place order then wrap everything up nicely. Then the flower/candy is delivered together with a note, the dedication written on it.<br /><br />Very smart way to make profit right?! LOL. Most of the time everyone will force everyone else to send themselves some gifts in exchange that they do the same. </span>Sometimes especially during Valentine's Day, the club member would even extend the request to the opposite boy school (St. John).

Let me see... 1 2 3 4...yep 4 more days to go before the firecrackers dies down. What the hell happened to the firecracker-ban this year? I mean like, the pasar malam in Kepong was like a crackers-haven. Even the guy selling pirated games converted his stall selling firecrackers ler. I haven't had a good night sleep since. Wtf.<br /><br />This year CNY wasn't too bad despite those blardy neighbors kids throwing firecrackers and scaring the hell out of my dogs, coz most relatives are married and... ahem... naturally they neglected to come for house visit this year. Oh well, the less the better. Less relative, less drama right? <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">*wakakaka!</span><br /><br />Surprisingly though, this year i raked in more angpow money than before thanks to Mr.Bf's mom and grandma. Not that i was so keen on getting angpow lar. Relatives kept pestering asking me when it's going to be my turn. Wtf. It's none of your business if i die a sorry spinster buried with my farm of cats or dogs for that matter, ok?! Get off my case already!

Dear, Anne Hathaway is mine ok?<br /><br />Ok, back to my story. How was your CNY? Mine was alright coz i spent most of the time stuffing my face with food... like every other Chinese people during CNY -_-". First it was the reunion dinner which wasn't so grand since all the boyfriends were back at their respective hometown. It was simple.<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/3252132501/" title="sai gong by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3071/3252132501_b8225f0d74_o.jpg" alt="sai gong" width="466" height="350" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Sea cucumber from Sai Gong<br /><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Then it was all the minced pork or bak kua and kuih kapit and shandy and oranges and god knows everything that will make you fat!

I have an aunt who has diabetes. My dad has high blood pressure. It's scary but i have to admit that all those diseases runs in the family. Though i'm doing my best to practice a healthy lifestyle, there is always a chance as small as it would be that i would be susceptible to it. However, with the major finds in technology like C'elle, there is some kind of hope.<br /><br />C'elle is an innovative company that brings hope in protecting our future.

She's gorgeous. In Bride Wars she's even more gorgeous. Mr. Bf is lucky coz Ms. Gorgeous Anne Hathaway is not in Malaysia coz if she is, i'll dump him and be a lesbian. <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">*wakaka!</span><br /><br />Anyways, we really did enjoyed the show coz Anne and Kate put up an endearing performance. And the wedding gown! Love both Anne and Kate's costumes though i prefer Anne's gown the most. Both is from Vera Wang (Anne's from 2005 collection and Kate's from 2009 collection). I so want a Vera Wang for my wedding... sigh... I so want a June wedding at the Plaza... SIGH...<br /><br />Go watch it already girls :)<br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5378387613351287880-8046587630212570743?l=slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com'/></div>SlowCatchUpKuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06810554201254516245noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378387613351287880.post-12168333918417902072009-01-25T20:36:00.002+08:002009-01-25T20:47:23.981+08:00Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Hei Fatt Choi!I just had my 'tuen yuen fan' with the family.

I've been ignoring this blog yet again <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">*haha no surprise there</span>. 2009 have been a busy year... I know it's like just 2 months into 2009 but i've been so caught up with the continuous festive season and cleaning and other work that i have no time to even sit down for a sip of coffee.<br /><br />I've been a bad girl lately. Started emo-ing and stuff. And not blogging enough. I've written a rubbish, short post for New Year. Didn't even bother to write down my reflection and resolution for this year. Now we're going to celebrate Chinese New Year already! Gosh, time passes really quickly when you're busy!<br /><br />Anyways, Chinese New Year is still new year right? It's a new beginning for Chinese people so to make up for my terrible New Year post, i'm going to do some reflection on my life in 2008 before CNY.<br /><br /><br />1) Jan 08 - <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/01/usher-2008-with-mug-pose-ok.html">Mug Mug came into my life</a>.<br /><br />My first pet dog ever. She wondered into my kitchen one morning and life had never been the same. I never knew i'm such a dog lover :).<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2153580184/" title="mugpose2 by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2406/2153580184_134f0d816c_o.jpg" alt="mugpose2" width="368" height="490" /></a><br /><br /><br />Then <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/01/mug-mug-is-missing.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">she went missing</span></a> and all of us were heart broken. I still miss her and i have a habit of looking around the neighborhood to see if i can spot her, even now.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2184128549/" title="MugWanted by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2228/2184128549_eb2a399baf_o.jpg" alt="MugWanted" width="390" height="576" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />2) Feb 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/02/our-5-days-in-hanoi-was-memorable-if.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Went backpacking in Hanoi and Halong Bay, Vietnam</span></a>.<br /><br />My first experience backpacking was in Hanoi. It was indeed a great experience, among others, tr</span><span style="font-size:100%;">apped in the winter with just a flimsy jacket,</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> getting lost in the small town, aboard a luxury chartered junk by accident and almost peeing in the street.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2440130455/" title="toyota by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/2440130455_7b8b2e81e2_o.jpg" alt="toyota" width="466" height="350" /></a><br /><br /><br />I'm more of a travel junky now!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2282272239/" title="halongbay10 by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3142/2282272239_e3182cb405_o.jpg" alt="halongbay10" width="490" height="368" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />3) Feb 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/02/kobe.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kobe and Pou Pou came into my life</span></a><br /><br />It was the best day of my life when <a href="http://blurryhunniee@blogspot.com/">blurryhunniee</a> brought Kobe back home! All of us fell in love with her. She's the most adorable yet mischievous puppy i've ever seen. </span><span style="font-size:100%;">1 year from then, she's still as mischievous as ever! Haha. </span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2248039763/" title="kobe1 by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2105/2248039763_68481b5a27_o.jpg" alt="kobe1" width="490" height="368" /></a><br /><br /><br />Then we brought Pou Pou (the neighbourhood stray) to live with us coz she had been getting too attached to us.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2472718455/" title="pou_pou by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2413/2472718455_e4b6517969_o.jpg" width="466" height="350" alt="pou_pou" /></a><br /><br /><br />Having Kobe and Pou Pou around the house is life changing. Somehow they brought our family closer and i love them so much for that. That and because they're super manja -_-".<br /><br /><br /><br />4) March 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/02/free-delivery-cotton-candy-to-your-home.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Played surrogate owner to Cotton & Candy</span></a>.<br /><br />Found 2 pups on the street that we later named Cotton and Candy. It felt good when we finally found a new home for them. Though giving them away to a new owners was pretty difficult coz we grew so attached to them. Maybe this is a starting point for opening an animal shelter? LOL Just kidding.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2275721699/" title="cottoncandy by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2094/2275721699_1972504d23_o.jpg" alt="cottoncandy" width="490" height="368" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />5) March 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/03/election-no-eye-see.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I voted for the first time</span></a>.<br /><br />I made my mark in history. Ok... not so kua cheong. I cast my vote the the 2008 Malaysia's General Election which led to a landslide win by the opposition party. I think it's one of the most memorable and dramatic election in Malaysia.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2317671573/" title="votingroom by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3218/2317671573_7a3a1b7ff8_o.jpg" alt="votingroom" width="350" height="466" /></a><br /><br /><br />Oh, i'll never forget when Samy Blue went down! Yee haa!<br /><br /><br /><br />6) Apr 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/05/page-rank-update-by-google.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Google slapped me with a Page Rank 0</span></a>.<br /><br />That's the end to my online money making. I'm still suffering. Grrr...<br /><br /><br /><br />7) May 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/05/im-poisoned.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">First time in Chinese Med Therapy</span></a>.<br /><br />Mr. Bf finally and successfully coerce me into visiting the doctor for my always bloating stomach and lethargy. A Chinese medical practitioner at that!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2458229551/" title="herbal_medicine by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2186/2458229551_6d828a0f8c_o.jpg" alt="herbal_medicine" width="466" height="350" /></a><br /><br /><br />I ended up with the worst diarrhea in my life! After few visits and parting with few hundred bucks, i gave up. The med was terribly bitter but it still didn't cure my sickness.<br /><br /><br /><br />8) June 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/06/dilemma.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">We picked up Doodle</span></a>.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2606800820/" title="doodle is a poser by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3057/2606800820_ff45225357_o.jpg" alt="doodle is a poser" width="350" height="466" /></a><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">Which is a puppy we stumbled upon in front of the pet shop. We rescued her and she went for some serious surgeries to correct her fractured bones. Alas, there were none who were willing to take her in because has a limp. Now she's our pet and playmates to Kobe and Pou Pou :).<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />9) Apr 08 - <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/04/quarter-life-crisis-at-26.html">Finally reached quarter life crisis</a>.<br /><br /><br />I admit i'm afraid of getting old. But as of last year i've been getting really scared and worried of the aging issue. I've started to reflect on my achivements which i'm not so proud of. Plus started to worry about my phisical appearance and health.I've since then start exercising more and slapping all type of creams on my skin in hope to delay the wrinkle process.<br /><br />Currently still on the fight!<br /><br /><br /><br />10) Apr 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-won-malaysian-dream-girl-week-7.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">First time winning Nuffnang contest</span></a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slowcatchupkuan/2441606095/" title="MDGCONTEST by slowcatchupkuan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3047/2441606095_83e1477f17_o.jpg" alt="MDGCONTEST" width="470" height="332" /></a><br /><br /><br />Woo hoo! I love winning contests. Not because of the prize (contests in Malaysia ain't won win us anything much anyways), but for the adrenaline kick. Yeah, i won RM100 from the Nuffnang's MDG contest and it was great. Makes me think i'm lucky enough to hit the jackpot next time.<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"> </span><br /><br />Why not? I won and you didn't right? So i'm luckier than you right?</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">*wakaka!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><br />11) July 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-new-food-blog-domain.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Started a Food Blog and Travel Blog</span></a>.<br /><br />Finally found the time to start a travel blog and bought a new domain for my food blog. IIn those blog i document my trail in KL looking for delicious food and my travel stories. It's a hobby which is kind of obvious coz i update those 2 blogs more than this one <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">*wakaka!</span><br /><br />I love my food and travel blog to pieces. Since i start writing them, i had gone fatter and is obsessed with travelling. Errrmmm... that doesn't sound too good.<br /><br /><br /><br />12) Aug 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/08/meet-parents.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Met the parents</span></a>.<br /><br />Met Mr. Bf's parents for the very first time. I know we've been together for quite some time but i try to delay this meeting as long as i can. Well, i did at last meet them and i survived. Phew! Nerve wrecking!<br /><br /><br /><br />13) Nov 08 - <a href="http://slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com/2008/11/gyneas-office.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Suspected to have thyroid</span></a>.<br /><br />I've been having abnormal spotting/bleeding after menstruation and that got me worried. Mr. Bf dragged me to pay a visit to the gynae and i did. I swear she's the worst doctor ever. She did not listen to me, scolded me and did not care to explain anything. Worst of all she gave me the wrong information and refuse to give me an ultrasound. Upon her own speculation, she suspected i have thyroid. I had nightmare waiting for the result. I almost went crazy. It turned out i do not have thyroid afterall.<br /><br />She also gave me a packet of anti-pregnancy pills which was supposed to stabilize my hormone. What it did was made me suffer from migraine, mood swings and serious insomnia. Stupid woman!<br /><br /><br /><br />14) Dec 08 - I have ovarian cyst.<br /><br />I've not blog about this before but i went for a second opinion since my first visit to the gynae was a disaster. I went to Dr. Wong at Hartamas. He's from Pantai and he did an ultrasound. Apparently i have quite alot of cyst in my ovary. If i'm not mistaken, the condition is called 'graafian follicle cyst'. It means i'm not releasing my eggs <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">*wtf hahahahahahaha</span><br /><br />Since it's only benign, i do not have to go to surgery yet. I'm on medication still. Taking the med is a pain because it causes water retention. My body gets so bloated someday, i could weight additional 2kg or more!<br /><br />Going for checkup once i finish 2 months medication. That's on March. Fingers cross.<br />*<br />*<br />*<br />Phew! Seems like alot of stuff went on in 2008. No matter what, 2008 was a memorable year full of ups and down. It wasn't the best year. I hope 2009 will be a better and greater year with many more happy endings.<br /><br />Now i have to go back to CNY preparations!<br /><br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5378387613351287880-4456841643151455883?l=slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com'/></div>SlowCatchUpKuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06810554201254516245noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378387613351287880.post-75215165468300967232009-01-22T23:30:00.002+08:002009-01-22T23:42:34.460+08:00Happy Birthday Sis!<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Wa wa wa!

I never felt so good in my life, not one moment i could recall that were more uplifting than this. Went to the bathroom. No constipation today. Oh goody, what a great start already. Glanced at the dining table. Yes! My favorite 'nasi lemak' with extra 'sambal' for breakfast today. Brushed my teeth. Looked into the mirror. Wow! Is my acne getting better or is my mind playing tricks on me? Whatever. I looked great. I think.<br /><br />You know why i felt so optimistic the other day? I had a dream. I dreamed i hit jackpot. No kidding! I did. Just one day after i decided to try my luck, pester Mr.Bf to buy a lottery ticket (you know, those scratch and win lottery mostly Indian uncles selling at kopitiam ler), i dreamed i was a millionaire busy deciding what to do with my sudden wealth.<br /><br />And you know what i'm going to do if i'm filthy rich? I'm going to buy me a house. No, 2 houses. No, make that a dozen or so. Yeah, for some reason only few knows, i'm totally obssessed with buying houses. Then i'll buy like as many doggies i'm able to take care of and the rest of the money would go to SPCA. Ok, it doesn't sound like a good plan but whatever. It's my money i'm spending. -_-"<br /><br />And hey, i'm going to buy myself another house in the US of A and move to Boston because i like the sound of John Hancock Tower (inside joke <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">*snigger</span>). And i'm going to hire a <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.humboldt.com/">boston moving company</a> to relocate me. Ok, i don't know if Humboldt Storage and Moving can relocate me from Malaysia to Boston but i heard they do have international relocation services to countries like Australia or United Kingdom so it's won't hurt to ask. Most probably it could be arranged since i am a millionaire. Nobody could resist a millionaire right? Right.<br /><br />After i move to Boston, i'm going to buy houses here and there. Even in Paris. And i will have a fun time moving around the globe. God that sounds good!<br /><br />Just my luck i have to wake up from the dream. <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">*sulk!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5378387613351287880-3485969752332729903?l=slowcatchupkuan.blogspot.com'/></div>SlowCatchUpKuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06810554201254516245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378387613351287880.post-43848439933178493842009-01-07T14:50:00.003+08:002009-01-07T15:19:48.360+08:00I'm Still Alive!<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />I'm still here. I'm alive. Give me some time to sort things out.<br /><br />Damn there are alot of stuff in my life that needs sorting, shuffling and reorganizing.<br /><br />And damn i'm gonna have to give Jason Mraz's concert a miss. Just my luck that i'll still be in Chiang Mai feeding elephants on that day. Grrr...<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Ps:// Ok, ok. I admit i dissed Jason Mraz before this. But lately his songs keep pop up in my head and i'm starting to appreciate him and his music.
