30 mins to May

Almost midnight and I am still working. It's so not me....I think I'm out of my mind since last week. Working overtime and dedicating my after-office hours working my ass off. It's just so not me...
I've been having so many weird dreams recently. Not sure if it's related to all the stressful things to be completed in real life.
Sigh...I need a holiday...

Quotes

Some quotes from Cecilia Ahern's book - The Time of My Life:

"He was persuasive; life has a way of getting what it wants when it really knows what it wants."

"Someone once said, the world is a book and those who do not travel, read only a page."

"I don't know which is more pathetic, not having a dream or Googling other people's."

"As long as you're around, your life is too. So just as you shower love and affection and attention on the husbands, wives, parents, children and forever friends who surround you, you have to do so equally with your life, because it's yours, it's you and it's always there rooting for you, cheering you on, even when you feel like you can't do it."

Life oh life

Those who watches Grey's Anatomy season 8 will know what I'm talking about. This show never fails to make me cry once a while.
There is this particular episode about an old couple, who is about to celebrate their 50 years of marriage. On the day that  they are about to go for a cruise (a gift from their children), the husband had a heart attack and has to go through a coronary bypass. The wife is so so so worried, but the husband remains calm. He even asks the wife to wish him happy anniversary when he comes out of the surgery.
The surgery went well. As the husband wakes up and is anxious to see his wife again, the doc came and told him that his wife passed away when he was in surgery.
It's such a sad scene. It reminds me of Romeo and Juliet.
That's life. It can be cruel, it can be kind, it can be bitter, it can be sweet. It's just a matter of time when we have to face that moment where we will feel that nothing matters anymore. It's just a matter of time when we feel that we are the happiest.

Till then, treasure each moment and tell those you love, that you love them.

Food Review:Pastis Cafe

I tried this a while back and was quite satisfied with the food, or rather, the dessert. 

I ordered:

1. Chicken pie

It's hard to find a good chicken pie here in KL but this is surprisingly good! It comes with a generous scoop of yummy mash potatoes. some mashed green peas and mushroom sauce.

2. Bread and butter pudding with ice cream

One of the better tasting of bread pudding I've tried. I am not a big fan or bread pudding but I enjoyed this one.

I will definitely re-visit the place and try out other items on their menu.

jetlag

So this is what they call jet lag...

wide awake at 5am
nausea and loss of appetite
light headed during work

Did i tell you (hmmm..this seems to be a common phrase i use now) that I had diarrhoea on the day I was travelling back?
I think it's from the poached egg and salmon I ate for breakfast. Thinking back, I feel nausea again.
It was a bad flight experience. Vomit and went to toilet countless times. I guess I vomited all, thus nothing much to poo poo also....
Hot outside, cold inside. I took a few panadols. I skipped all meals on the 3 flights except for fruits. I skipped all entertainment. I was like a walking zombie in the airport. I just want to find a quiet corner in the lounges and once I plopped my butt on it, I went to zzz mode.
Luckily, I didn't miss any of my flights.

I survived 21 hours of flight time and 8 hours of waiting time in airports.

But it was an experience I don't want to go through again.

Ayam kambing bag

Two more days and I'll be in Malaysia.
I miss home. Seriously. It's only 3 weeks but I miss my bed.
It's so different travelling for work and for vacation. I guess if I am on vacation, I'll not want to come back so fast.
It's going to be a long travel time. Transit once in LA and then in HK. Total flight time 21 hours. Total transit time 6 hours.
Expecting a critical jet lag on Monday.
And panda eyes. *blink blink*

Soul surfer

Great movie....

About a girl surfer who lost one of her arm in a shark attack. This is based on a real life story.
It's inspiring.
So many times I've felt like giving up and breaking down but my problems are nothing compared to this girl's.
One quote from the movie that is etched in my mind:
"And I’ve learned that life is a lot like surfing. When you get caught in the impact zone, you need to get right back up because you never now what’s over the next wave."

Pressies

I can't wait to get back home. Anticipating the arrival of a new family member. I hope little Ah Bi can wait for me to come back before saying 'Hello World!'...
