Book craze

If we have a task to complete for the day, 

We will usually be out the whole day.

Mr. Boss will always be very concern about one thing: 

Izit time to clear my bladder 😍😍

After completing the "task of the day" today,

He asked, "OK, Permaisuri or Parkson?"

(Note: "Parkson" is almost every Mirians way of saying Bintang Megamall 😂😂)

By now, I bet the first response from friends will be,

"Wah, so nice, can go shopping!"

But not everyone will understand that

What we REALLY need is an accessible toilet,

And not all places have that...

So of course, between the two choices,

The bookworm will definitely say "Parkson" without thinking 😂😂

Because Parkson has a Popular Bookstore and Permaisuri doesn't. Ahaha.

A magnet force attracted me to 2nd floor after that 😂😂

This place is so magical that I can stay here for hours...

I feel like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, haha...

The moment I enter this place, it's never ending... 

3 hours here and I will have Mr. Boss checking in every hour, 

Asking, “你在哪里？” 😂😂

My answer will be, “还在这里” 😍😍

Can I say, "It's heaven on earth" 😆😆

Throwback 11122022: Today's adventure terlalu "chi kek" 😝😝

A few days ago, we discovered an almost-flat tyre,

But did not give much thought to it

Since we weren't scheduled for any appointments these few days.

But today, Mr. Boss teased me about Southlake again.

I had a shock of my life to see it totally flat when I checked.

Sought assistance from the neighbourhood community whatsapp group.

To cut the story short, the culprit was a pesky little nail 😑😑

Mr. Boss quickly drove to the nearest workshop

And got the issue settled.

Came back to fetch me for my Sunday swim. 

Remember I said Sundays were for members only?

But today was even better!

The coach that was there last week with his students, 

Weren't anywhere to be seen today.

Turned out they are in Sibu for a tournament.

Whoalah! I had the whole pool to myself

For the first two hours. Syok gila 😍😍

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle all the way 🎄🎄

From my excitement, what can you tell?

My favourite month is here to play 🎄🎄

After a two-year break, 

This event is back on track.

We have secretly decided to join in the fun,

But when the invitation call came from Miri City Council,

It was all the more official 💪💪

Jingle bell, jingle bell,
Jingle all the way 🎄🎄
The weather tomorrow better be well,
Because Elaine wants to go out and play 😂😂

Water Baby...

Throwback to last week: 
After close to 3 years of Covid restrictions, I'm back!
In terms of hygiene, Southlake is still the best 😍😍

I can't stand public pools, 

Because they allow anyone and everyone

With any and every types of attire

To enter the pool 😱😱

After Covid restrictions loosened, 

Mr. Boss has offered to bring me to xxx for a routine hydro.

After going there thrice and coming home with red spots on my skin,

I don't think I will be going there again anytime soon.

So when he asked, “要去游泳吗？”

I said, "No Southlake, no 游泳“ 😂😂

So yah, back to Southlake...

The REAL surprise was when we were at the counter to pay for my swim 😍😍

Took out my wallet and by the time I handed the money, 

The guy at the counter said, "Saya sudah call management.

Dia org cakap tak perlu bayar. Tapi mau isi details dlm buku ini."

To my very surprise, the cover of the book says,

”PERSATUAN PERKHIDMATAN KEUPAYAAN MIRI" 😱😍😍

After 3 years of "covid break",

(What's more after a change of management),

We really did not expect them to still remember us 😍😍

在加上时不时还会听到飞机的声音，

抬头望天空时还会看到飞机飞过，太幸福了 😍😍

可怜的是，那里的 “餐厅” 已经关闭了，

没有营业了。。

我家老板少了舒服的环境让他玩 game，

没有桌子，也没得叫小吃顶顶肚子。。

He was curious as to why there were not many people, 

Especially since it was a Sunday...

Answer: Because Sundays and Wednesdays

Are for members only...

Lucky me 😍😍

Stepping Into My 4th decade...

17112022: And so they say life begins at 40.
But I'd say life began the moment my parents made me 😂😂😂😂

And it continued to be interestingly full of 

Different mountains and valleys along the way.

Grateful for all the happy moments,

Yet not forgetting the inevitable down times.

This year's emo moments are no less.

Sudden unexplainable cloudy emotions 

Can leave me moody and cranky the whole day,

And I end up wondering what had just happened 😂😂

Is this the sign of aging? 😂😂

But many God-moments also taught me a conclusion: 

That at the end of the day, 

If I can't change the fact and lessen the frustrations,

The one thing left to do is PRAY.

But one thing worth a mention

Is the success in shedding 

Quite a few kilos in comparison

To a bloated me a year and a half ago.

就像照片里所说的：

“减肥永远是明天的事”

但我认为正确说法应该是：

“减肥是为了享受更多美食” 😂😂

 

只要和他一起过生日，简简单单也是幸福的 ❤❤

就像过江里的老哥哥对老姐姐（他太太）说的：

“不管你以后变成怎么样，我还是会爱你。。

因为你是我选的女人。。”

同样的，虽然有时候你不可爱，

（其实我们每个人都有不可爱的时候）

但我还是会继续爱你 😝😝

因为你是我当初承诺要爱一辈子的人 ❤❤

也谢谢你迁就和接受了我的不可爱。。

Found this quote while browsing the net 👇👇

Soooo true of me, haha...

Suddenly found myself doing what it takes 

To lose that extra, undesirable flesh 😂😂

Even if it means requesting if I can do installment, 

But it's  REALLY worth the while 

If I could see visible transformation within just a year.

No worries, I' m on my way to 49kg,

To look youthful again, ahaha...

笑死我了。。

Throwback 16112022: 活了40年，才发现，

原来我不会开酒瓶 😂😂

前天，我家老板订了 kacangma 当午餐，

太大份吃不完，留隔天。。

隔天拜托朋友买了白酒，

却发现，没有 bottle opener...

后来，想了想，找到了。。

但，很好笑的问题来了：

我不会用 😂😂

左看右看上看下看，也还不懂怎样用。。

就决定不要假假厉害了，还是问我家老板吧，哈哈。。

老板看了我手拿的姿势，就杀了一句，

“terbalik啦，ngong ngiang”

害我笑得肚子痛 😂😂

不会喝酒的人，千万不要挑战自己。。

酒不小心倒多了，kacangma扫完后，

整个屋子会摇动的咧 😂😂

碗碟拿去洗碗盆的路程短短 15meter，我都不行了。。

结果碗碟放着不理，就赶快找床倒下来了，

回想起来都觉得很好笑 😂😂

The Plan Is Working

 

Eh, orang timbang sayur, aku timbang badan 😂😂
Tapi, good idea jugak lah, kan?
Leave it to the genius to come up with such an idea 💡💡

But really, what other options do we OKUs have left,

(Since there's no way of getting an accurate reading from the regular scale)

Especially those of us who are wheelchair users?

If only they have the mechanical chair scale here in Miri, haha...

From a fatty bom bom of 63.3kg in mid 2021, 

(Reality only sank in after seeing my bloated self in an XL cheongsam)

I was left with the final resort of embarking on a "management plan" meal...

Two sets of detoxing& replenishing nutritions later,

I consulted my improvised industrial scale again,

And it sways between 54.5 & 54.7 in these two days. Yes la! 💪💪

Is there possibility of a 49? Muahahaha 😂😂

一针见血，不做作

 

有时候，做冠军是好事，
但，有些事，当了冠军未必是好的。。

还好以上的排行榜我排第九名，不是第一名 😂😂

（虽然基督徒不相信星座这件事）

但，天蝎座的我，

 “批评别人通常一针见血” 的确超准 🙊🙊

我曾经有一位好姐妹，

我们真的是好到无话不谈，零秘密。。

曾经啦。。曾经。。

我忘了我们那时候聊的内容是什么，

但我永远都会记得很清楚她说的一句话：

“你啊。。你不是说话很直，你是说话很毒”

啊哈哈哈。。

这样的回复，是好还是不好呢？

我该要怎么反应啊？😆😆

马来文不是有一句话说，“siapa makan cili dia rasa pedas” 吗？

如果你没有做过，或者你没有做错，

那你为什么会觉得我那一句话有毒呢？

有道理吗？啊哈哈。。

其实啊，

为什么会有人喜欢带着面具做人？还加了心机。。

对着一些人，你可以是个天使。。

但翻过来对着另一班人，你可以秒变魔鬼。。

这样活着，不累吗？为什么不能活出真实的自己？

这个图案，你看得懂吗？

我看得懂。。因为我亲身体验过。。

妈的，这种人，迟早会有他自己的因果。。

目前，我头脑里想到的两个人，

说我记仇也好，放不下也好（sorry咯，天蝎座是最记仇的星座。。不信去google），

报应来的时候，记得叫我观赏。。我一定不会忘记鼓掌 😂😂

这一句，

够 “一针见血” 了吧 😂😂

Kami Anak Malaysia

09102022: I love occasions that have dress codes.

I can play dress up 😍😍

Today's dress code was batik for the guys

And baju kurung/batiks for the ladies

Can we be bluff-bluff Dato & Datin for a few hours? 😂😂

My Dato so hansem ar? 

ps: the baju kurung's from 21 years ago, ahaha...

 

Final One Standing

I seriously did a double take here. 

That split second when my eyes scanned passed this Red Gem, 

I couldn't help but to look again 😝😝 

It's RM2 short of 50! Hear me again, RM2 short of 50! 

A freakin' RM 48.00, for crying out loud.

Oh ehm gee! I cannot tahan lor! 

It's a SERUM and it's less than RM 50.00 😍😍

Deep down, I want it badly. 

But on the other hand, I am foreseeing no end to Mr. Hubby's nagging.

It was the very last bottle left. 

And it was the last day of the promotion,

After which the price will skyrocket back to its original price of RM 8x.xx

What the heck! After half an hour of debating in the brain, I swept it off the shelf. 

Yes, I am one vain pot. Haha.

吃吃吃。。

 

人家时常说 “吃得是福”。。

果然这个 “福” 显示在我身上了 👀👀

但还好，最进接触了《神奇秘诀》，

体型和体重都有一点点的变化了 ✌✌

有人说，"Eat to live"...

我呢，"eat to live" or "live to eat",

Same thing la, hehe...

最近，托《美里美食街》的福，

这个 “补品” 成为了我暂时的 favourite。。

什么意思 “暂时”？哈哈 

意思就是 我有得在 《美里美食街》吃到它，

然后《美里美食街》完了过后，

就懒惰去到处找它了，啊哈哈哈 😝😝

我一路来都非常不喜欢木耳的，尤其是黑的。。

英文叫 fungus。。

软绵绵，doink doink... 好恶心 😖😖😵😵 都说是 fungus了。。

奇怪，怎么把食物的fungus 和皮肤病的fungus 联系在一起 😲😲

以前在家时，

妈妈时常煮糖水啊，八珍啊，久久一次还会有燕窝呢。。

她说，久久一次补补身体，是必须的，哈哈。。

不过也要适可而止啦，因为毕竟是糖水，

三高还是要注意的 😅😅

No, I'm not pregnant...

 

Sambal petai cravings gone overboard very recently...
No, I'm not pregnant 😂😂

旗袍很米丽。。

And so we were told a week ahead

To dress up for a "Princess Night"...

Princesses are almost always seen

In pretty gowns, dresses or long flare skirts, 

So I hung out my red skirt and a glittery top to match... 

But on the morning of the event, 

I suddenly had a nudge in my heart

To go traditional... 

I LOOOOVE CHEONGSAMS 😍😍

So I tested out my orange XL 旗袍，

(My only hope since I have grown to be very fleshy the past 2yrs)

Only to get a shock of my life!

It hung so loose I look like an Ah Ma 🤔🤔

It even had extra space for one arm to slip in the sides...

"Disappointed", I did something insanely silly... 

I tried squeezing into my M 旗袍。。

XL to M, I must have been too overly ambitious 😂😂

这次的帖，本来我真的没有勇气，

也还没有心理准备想要post在面子书，

因为，真的很恐怖啊 😱😱

但，随便啦。。死就死吧，啊哈哈。。

虽然已经有变化了，

也已经看得出有进步了，

可是，还是觉得需要再努力多一点点。。

但至少这个变化

可以是我继续往 M 的推动力 💪💪

两个都是包mangka 😂😂

但分别很大。。

分别在于一个是XL包mangka, 

一个是M包mangka 😍😂

XL旗袍穿下去，已经像穿睡衣那么松了，

但M又还是有点紧，

所以，目前最理想还是L 😝😝

我非常羡慕那些女明星

或者身边的女性朋友，

苗条到连锁骨都很明显的。。

10年前，我的结婚晚装是一件

很漂亮的halter neck红旗袍 😍😍

10年后，我答应自己

一定要成功挤进M。。

现在锁骨虽然慢慢出来了，

但还需要继续努力

甩掉大肚腩和大手臂 🤔🤔

Ok fine, I still look like a pig 🐷🐷

But it's an upgraded pig: 

From a squashed-in-XL pig

To a squashed-in-M pig

Well, at least I managed to

Refit into my favourite customised top

(I loooove customized items)

A gift from the ET sister

From more than 10yrs ago 😍😍

这一切，从2月18号开始的

第一盒的第一包 Misu Dx 开始。。

接下来，需要搭配哑铃

锻炼出 “小老鼠手臂” 💪💪

有谁要做我的教练吗？

啊哈哈哈哈 😂😂

ps: 《公主之夜》还不小心拿到最佳服装奖呢 ☺☺ 

只因为一件旗袍，啊哈哈 😍😍

去 "gai gai" 咯。。

 

有能力帮助别人，是我们的荣幸。。

有机会看他进步，是我们的骄傲。。

只要在我们能力的范围，

只要能够帮助他们独立，

就算是那一点点的成就感，

也是成就感 😍😍

我们的任务之一，是帮助他们独立。。

任务范围包括教驾车的技巧。。

需要特别注意些什么，

或哪一些是不可以做的。。

平时，我是 lady boss，坐前面。。

今天，有机会当 observer，坐在后座。。

当中 observe 到了：

1.   当遇到一些需要帮忙的地方，

谦卑开口求助，也是一门功课。。

带着甜美笑容，更会温暖人心。。

2.    意外之前，他们是用2手2脚操作一辆车。。

意外之后，一双手除了超控方向盘之外，

现在还多了油门和刹车器。。

Coordination 超重要啊！

祝这位会员一切顺利 💪💪

New Passport

10082022: My 90 days permit now comes in a different form,

No more the 小红书 😂😂

Because even if I have the 小红书

And don't have this,

Crossing border to renew the 90 days stay 

Is a no-no bah 😩😩

Bah, bring it on 💪💪

I'm now ready for Brunei & KK 🗻🗻

If I Can Be A Mermaid....

 Throwback 23072022: I KO-ed last night, so post delayed 😂😂

谢谢我家老板载我来晒晒太阳 ☀☀
不过也太晒了吧？
两个星期前暴风雨，这个星期是报仇吗？🙈🙈
也许很多人会说我头脑生虫，大热天去游泳？
家里的鱼缸（我是说浴缸）不能游吗？😝😝
MCO了两年，就是没得下水两年，
今天终于回来了 😍😍
晒就晒吧，好过下雨。。
晒太阳至少还能下水，下雨就完全甭想下水了，哈哈。。

今天在最深那一边下水。。
脚踩不到地上，更好，有点空间给我动动脚。。
原本以为今天手脚会酸痛，可是没有呢，哈哈。。
对我来说，
普通的健身运动，太吃力了，
跑步骑脚车举重，不行啦。。
可是进到水里，一半的压力减去了，
所以在水里的我，好轻松 😍😍
我已经期待下一次了 😜😜

1:03 p.m.: true enuff, it started raining... 还好有听我家老板的话 🤣🤣

 

You're ready to serve your master again? 😂😂

Well, at least she knows that she's ready

To welcome you back after two long

Covid-striken years...

Tested and approved that you still fit her fine,

Goes to show that she succeeded

In losing quite an amount of unnecessary flesh 😂😂

Now, please serve her well, ok? 😍😍

Have fun tomorrow, yeah...

我 “哥哥” 的 41

Throwback 25062022: 玩了2天，累坏了，

可是生日祝福迟到好过没到。。

生日蒙恩啊，我的 “哥哥”

一转眼，就已经和你过了第15个生日。。

一转眼，我们就已经从陌生人

变成朋友再升级为情侣

再拿到永久身份：终身伴侣

这15年来，上山下海吃喝玩乐

生活的点点滴滴，

我有你的陪伴，你有我的跟随。。

因为笨笨的我，有你带领着，

跟着就是啦

祝你身体健康，主恩满满。。

Happy 41岁生日

看到你的又惊讶又开心的表情，

ML蛋糕的安排值得了

Cyclops说 "The Stars Are My Eyes"

But我说 "You Are My Star"

芳草说，再小的星星，也会努力的在黑暗里发光的

谢谢你成为我生命中的小星星
