get together
here's a model demonstrating what i'm like after 11hours of super-busy shift work.
i am currently doing Accident and Emergency, which means no more weekends
uwaaa!!!
there goes my social life
(not that it's that great before anyway)
therefore, in the spirit of making new friends and enjoying the friends i already have, i'm doing a get together tomorrow
(on the only Saturday that i'm off on this month)
and of course, i'll be straight back to work on Sunday :(
...lots of pics to follow

what i miss. .
well i miss a lot..
but when it comes to food, nothing beats this one place
so u say..
what so special about a warung?
here is my top tips on finding the best spot to 'lepak' while enjoying a great meal
1. it has to be CLEAN-most restaurants in Malaysia are rated A, B,C according to their cleanliness, so it shouldn't be that hard. but, among the As, there are the A+s (and that's where this place stands)
2. the MENU-no need for super long and exhaustive menu. Short and simple is always best. So long as the food u serve is 'terbaik', people will always come back for more
3. the LOCATION-i think the owner of Warung Bunut Rendang named it because of where it sits-surrounded by trees, it's the perfect spot to berteduh from Malaysia's super hot climate. it is close to the road, but strangely u won't be bothered by sounds of cars passing by. fans?air-conditioner? no need for one-just the calming breeze of natural wind is enough
...which is why Warung Bunut Rendang is the most visited restaurant/ food place while i was in Malaysia. too many times that i can't even remember...and as i said, the menu is simple
but, when u have kids, the word 'lepak' no longer exists...

| mi goreng |
| laici kang |
| teh-O-beng |
but, when u have kids, the word 'lepak' no longer exists...
| this is the reason i never can be 'kurus' |
i'm back!
it's been A while!
life is super busy..i spend 60% of my 24hours with work, the rest is divided between travelling, sleep and mia-chan
poor mia-chan., i was telling hubby the other day that i feel like a vampire- that is, i only appear to mia-chan after midnight :(
mia-chan would wake up as i open the door( and that depends on the hours i'm doing, sometime as late as 11pm)..and her smile would ease off all the backache and headache mummy had to endure during the day
i'm such a BAD mother!
i need more time with mia-chan! God i need more time for myself!
nowadays i look like an OGRE..well actually i think SHREK looks more attractive than me
i need a holiday so badly it hurts. huhuhu

women talk
it's been awhile
things were great for days, then it went BAD ever so quickly
what's worse, i can't say anything about it
(...yeah, and people call me SHY)
i am SHY...but when i speak my mind my love ones tell me to SHUT UP!
ever since i was a baby, i imagine myself as someone who writes ie THE Carrie Bradshaw of Malaysia (that's right. i am HUGEly deluded in myself.haha)
little did i know, as grown women u're not allowed to
...u would think that as i work and spend nearly half of my life time abroad, i would be ever so OPEN about stuffs
i AM (sometimes)
i'm just not ALLOWED
example-
if i ramble about feeling down and stressed out (because i'm a normal human being!)...people would quickly assumed that i'm spilling out things about my marriage and how i'm never happy in it
once i wrote something about feeling únloved' (we have all had those days, haven't we?) which somehow found it's way to facebook...
and was thrashed for days for writing it
this blog is my baby..i have devoted time and emotions building it...why destroy my happiness?
(i have since shut down my facebook account. why keep something that will continue to hurt yourself?)
sometimes i'm a lone soldier fighting a useless battle...i'll NEVER WIN
..and i'm slowly cutting myself open in the process
i imagine i will get a backlash after writing this..
i DON'T CARE!!!
i have convinced myself that i am insignificant
my words and thoughts are never important (people don't consult me here like they use to do in Respiratory Clinic and that upsets me.haha.-yes. i am SUPER deluded)
so if that's true..
STOP.
leave me in peace doing what i enjoy most
?maybe it's time to go back to work and REGAIN the little confidence that i had

in London
i am currently eating 'chocolate miniflake mini bites' from Mark and Spencer on my hotel bed (something i shouldn't be doing according to the hotel information booklet)
and i am all alone
i am in London for exam (yes, the day is finally here!)
i have just managed 13 hours of flite time, 2 hours of tube and train journeys and 3 hours of waiting at the airport..
and am absolutely EXHAUSTED!
what's worse, my body is angry at me for not breastfeeding mia-chan! and it hurts!!
i wonder what is she doing now...my dear mia-chan? probably disturbing everybody's sleep (she sleeps while cuddling and breastfeeding so i imagine everyone is up entertaining the little missy)
mum really deserved a HUGE present for agreeing to babysit mia-chan while i exam
i have taken a couple of pics of my trip, but couldn't be bothered to post them up yet
right now..what i need is a nice nap..
and mia-chan!
I MISS U!!!
