Bidding Farewell to Year 2011...in a high note!

Ok, so here we are now 1 day shy away from bidding farewell to year 2011 and, welcoming the end of the world!!! OMG!!! Imagine yourself having only 1 more year to live, and what will you do? Spent all the money? Eat all the food you always wanted to and throw away your diet? Or, just live as if it is just another normal year?

Let's not now debate if this prophecy is going to come true because if it comes, it comes. Anyways we will not be able to foretell the future so why sweat the little things right?

Instead, i think now is a great time for us to bid farewell to year 2011 with a great smile and count all the blessings we achieved. Hm.... let me see what i have been blessed thus far...

- First and foremost, both my best buddies got preggo and has / will have a healthy baby boy! Yippie!!!

- i managed to pass the year without going insane in Algeria (Well done me!)

- Bros finally bought me a present and i am loving it so far!

- Finally managed to meet up with some girls after 2 long years.

- Someone in my family is no longer a singleton and he is madly in love so far..

- Additional family member, a princess, into our family..

- Everyone is in their pink of health and i am really really grateful for this..

- Oh ya not to mention Cofi is still eating, sleeping and shitting well..

- Many many newly weds...Congratulations everyone!

- I got to travel a little bit and added lovely memories for myself..

- Got to know some lovely people in Algeria..

- I am being loved very much by the two cute Japanese girls..

- Learned to cook a fair bit, especially in the Japanese department!

- And the most important one is, I am back in KL for CNY! Isn't life great??? *HUGE SMILE*

So there's my list. I can't deny. I think life really treats me well. May the year 2012 brings me the same good fortunes and blessings! Happy new year everyone and may the year 2012 treats you well too! Remember to count your blessings!

The Iphone Craze

Iphone 4s is finally in Malaysia! Weeee!!!

I am currently using the very dinosaur version, the Iphone 1. While it was so cool to have the Iphone 1 a couple of years ago, it is now however an embarrassment to be seen in one! I think others will think that i am some nuts job that still lived in the stone age while seeing me using the Iphone 1!

 Why?? Well because KC's staff wanted to buy an Iphone 3 as a surprise gift for his wife about 9 months ago. Being Algeria, of course it will be difficult to get one! To get from other European countries are just way too expensive and there is just no supply in Algeria at all.

So all eyes turned to my Iphone 3, the one which i was using before i was being forced going back to the grandma Iphone 1. So after much "debate" with KC, i gave in and he sold it to his staff. After all i thought that i am in Algeria most of the time, there is really not much chances for me to use my phone to chat, not to mention to bring it out in public to use. Hence it was sold and i am officially back to stone age.

Ok back to Iphone 4. There are always rumors that the Iphone 4s will be out in Malaysia by end of the year but nothing was solid ever. Anyways i set my mind to it of getting one when i get back to KL. The good news is, after much cajoling  towards my brothers, they have agreed to buy me one!

So i quickly registered with Maxis and today at 12am midnight in KL, they were supposed to be at KLCC to register and buy the iphone. They were there since 9pm and started the whole process of registering for a contract, paying and waiting patiently for their turns to get their phones.

All the time while they were there, they gave me real time updates and was teasing me with photos of the phone. I was excited and anxious the whole time! I was thinking and praying to myself that hopefully nothing misfortune will happened that will resulted in me not getting the phone! I can't take that!

Finally, at about 3am KL time, my brother whatsapp-ed me to tell me the good news i was waiting for! I have my phone!!!!

Yeah, new toy to play with when i get back! Hm.... i wonder what questions should i ask Siri?? Perhaps the same questions "I Love You" as per what my lovely brother, Bryan asked????

Freedom (Almost)

Right after my overdosed last week, i fell sick. Migraine decided to pay its visit to me which lasted for 2 days. Phew! I am so glad that it is over now.

After that, it was the arrival of my dad. I thought i will be busy but surprisingly i wasn't. It turned out that he has a lot of dinner functions during that few days together with KC. Hence i was home alone all the time!

My dad left after 2 days and KC was still busy with his work, even over the weekend. So again, i was home alone and had nothing to do.

Today, my dad is back again but again they will have a lot of luncheons and dinners to attend to. I am home alone again!

Never thought that the last few days before i head back to KL will be such a breeze! 7 days more to go!!!!

There are just so much that i want to do....salon, shopping, ban mee, starbucks mocha caramel, COFI, COFI, COFI .....i just cant wait!!!!

Overdosed?

You know how it is like when you complained that life is too bored and there is nothing much to do? Well i think i am an expert when it comes to this department. After all, life in Algeria is really simple and really nothing much to do, literally.

One of the Malaysian expatriate has decided to go back to KL for good and he decided to make a final trip here in Algeria. This time around, his wife has decided to come along just to verify that Algeria is really a country that has nothing much. I guess she is not all surprised by the fact that it is really nothing much here.

So for the first day of her arrival, there was nothing much to do except to just saying hello and bye. The next day, together with Miho, the girls and her, we had some chatting time that lasted for more than 4 hours. To be honest, chatting for me is good if it is maximum length is within 2 hours. After that, my mind begins to shut off, my lips dried themselves as a protest of talking, and my body also shut down and i feel death tired! So when the chit chat session ended because she had to get ready for dinner later ( secretly i was happy!), i had to quickly prepared dinner and by the time i have time to settle down for myself, it was near to midnight. I was death tired!!!

Today, it was escalated! The moment i opened my eyes, i was told there will be a luncheon at an Italian restaurant in hotel Hilton. Not a really good start for the day ain't it? So i quickly gulp down my morning coffee and headed to the hotel. The thing with the Europeans are that they really know how to take time to savor their food. Unlike us Chineses who will just swallow food within minutes, the luncheon lasted from 130pm to 330pm! That was really looooooooong!!!!!

Then it was bringing them to groceries shopping, meat and vegetables shopping and before we even headed home, the phone rang! It seems that KC had also invited another group of friends for some gaming session. It was 5pm when the phone rang!

So again quickly, i have to prepare for dinner, chick kut teh, for the couple (hence the previous meat and vegetable shopping) and at the same time have to take care of the gaming group too! It was cook, cook, cook, and entertaining the gaming group for their needs of food and etc......

After that it was time to get dinner ready as well as getting the liquor ready too! And finally, now after a good shower, at 10.30pm, i am able to do a little gaming myself and wind down. This is not over yet though because the gaming group is still outside gaming and i still have to clean up later.......

So i guess i am having a "too-much-happenings" overdose now! Just too much! Oh ya did i mention i have to go for a city tour tomorrow follow by a dinner session too since the couple will be leaving the morning after! This is just way too much!!!!

BUT, well it is only normal that when there are grumbling, there is always a BUT. For my case, although it was a day of overdoses, BUT i am glad that KC is having hell a fun time now gaming. I am just glad that he is having lots of fun and laughters in Algiers! Guess all is worth it eh?

Counting Down...Again

You how a day can be unbearable when you are anticipating something or someone on a particular day?

That is exactly how i am feeling now!

That is because finally i have set myself a date to travel back to my beloved BOLEH land! It is  DEC 18!!!!!

The moment i knew which date i will be leaving here for my BOLEH land, suddenly, the minutes started to tick off a little slower than before. Perhaps now it takes double the seconds just to pass 1 minute! hahaha i know i am being crazy here but that is exactly how i am feeling.

2 more weeks and i will be able to go back to meet my darling Cofi, not to mention having my favorite pan mee, nasi lemak, prawn mee, ipoh white coffee..... and thinking about them already making me drool!



More tomorrow!
