My Nightmares Revisited

I was never Chinese educated...the ONE and ONLY chinese class i ever attended was during my kindy years where each chinese character i wrote was a big challenge for me...

so much so that by the end of my kindy years...me the 6 yr old girl told my mom that i DONT WANT to study in a chinese primary school...over my dead body!

my mom agreed maybe because i was a headache to tutor...wahahaha...somehow I just cannot make those chinese character strokes sink into my brain

last week...mr bf suggested taking mandarin night classes cos we r chinese after all...it is good to go back to your roots no? so i agreed ... 2nite was the first class

when we reached there...the place was full of white-haired uncles O_O!
its almost as if they were teachers pulled out from a chapter in my primary school life (17 years ago!!!!)

(we later learnt that they were retired school teachers)

and registered ourselves and paid for the registration fee.The uncle of a teacher pulled out a yellowish receipt book and wrote out our receipt...

doesn this look like a page torn out from your 20 yr old exercise book?!?!?!! i was like OMG when i saw the receipt book...where did he find it??? the museum

and look at the dollar sign ($) the last time we used $ was like when??? 1990??? DOUBLE OMG!!!!

So we sat down and he asked us to jot down the chinese characters from the whiteboard and we have to like write it down many many many times...

like so...

hahahaahahah...as i write every painful strokes...the memory of me learning mandarin in my kindy years hit me one by one...the agony...the horror!!!!

and to think that i m stuck in this class not for 1 month...not 2 months..not even 3 months .... its for A YEAR!!! and its not even once a week or twice a week...its THRICE a week....!!!

I M SO DEAD!

boohooohoooo MUMMY I DONT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!

Progress Report Part II

We went to look at our house again...and this time we found the access road....whoopee..now we can walk into the house instead of spying from afar...

Come on in...now don trip over the brick...

our house is still roofless :(

the purpose i m posting pictures on the house is so that we will remember how the house looked like before it was completed...so that 5 or 10 years from now .... i could log onto pinkcotton.blogspot.com (with trembly hands...or maybe not) and go...AHH THERE'S OUR HOUSE WITHOUT A ROOF LAST TIME...

Pink Cotton was here!!...hehe

kekeke...new year's a coming....no more new year resolutions for me... i give up! =)

My Christmassy Post

Hello there............i m back again after the Christmas feasts and parties and presents =)

I meant to put up some very christmassy post few days ago but hmmm i guess the present buying got me carried away...

lets see now...i was at the Travilion Christmas Tree thingy 4 days before Christmas just to take pictures of the tree....here it is...

Nice and tall ...

and there were bubbles flying around...

after a while the "snow" came

the so called snow...which is foam la actually...

i was caught in the middle of the "snow storm" hehehe with my dslr....nooooooooooooo

i risked an arm a leg and maybe a dslr to take this pic...

hehehe it was the closest shot i could get

so should i still wish u all a Merry Christmas???

oh what the hey....its only the 3rd day of Christmas rite???

so...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Tis the season to go shopping...

Look what i did to my nails yesterday!! =)

french manicure! this is my first time doing it...i think not so bad for a first timer...heheeh

so now when i go shopping i can flaunt my digits like this...

kekekeke...
have been so busy shopping for the past few days...
legs r tired...my brain is tired of thinking what to buy for who...
and my credit card n pockets also tired la..needless to say

so now i will need to have bread n water (maybe milk) for lunch for the next one month...

my shopping is around 90% complete already...10% consist of Mr Bf's pressie...hehe have to leave his for the last cos we were always out together when going christmas shopping mah.....so i hve one last day 2moro!

and now its pressie wrapping time...

i just love the colorful christmas theme wrapping papers....SO NICE!!!!
i just feel like getting all of them

so... armed with a pair of scissors,cellophane tape, penknife...i m ready to go a-wrapping!

I don get "JOKES" like these...

When an old friend come online and the first thing that came to his mouth was ARE YOU PREGNANT ALREADY??? VERY unfunny to say that to a single lady

When someone's reply to you saying u dont like wearing perfume is...THATS WHY YOU ARE SMELLY...UNfunny...

When a friend stares at your eyes (with a disgusted look...or was i imagining it?) knowing very well you are wearing color lenses (its only brown for g'ness sake!) and when you asks him WHY? he gives a sarcastic laugh n said nothing....UNfunny

When someone says OH MY YOU SURE PUT ON SOME WEIGHT!!!! SOOOO UNFUNNY!!!

When someone purposely go to a close friend of yours to ask about some personal info about you when he/she could very well have come right up to you and asked you...UNFUNNY!! and rude too!

When the only single thing a person ever asks you everytime and i mean EVERYTIME he comes online is...WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED??? once is enough!!! UNfunny!!!

I dont get jokes like these....DO YOU??? or maybe its just me being humorless???

now that's off my chest...lets prepare for Christmas! fa la la la laaaa la la la =)

with some "free gift"

since its the birthday of our Durian Feast organizer 2moro...there was a cake for her to cut lar...

Once upon a time in Kuching...

Once upon a time in November...when the loktor was in town...we went to the Banquet to try the "famous" dim sum...so off we went!...dum de dum de dum...

MY KEYBOARD IS IRRITATING ME TO BITS!!!! ... need to press so hard wan!....

hmm so where was i ...oh the dim sums...yea....there was so many choices of dim sum printed on the menu but when the lady pushing the cart came to our table (with black face) i asked her whether she has this n that from the menu...

and she (still with a black face) said...WHAT I HAVE NOW I GIVE U LAR! THOSE I DON HAVE U ORDER ALSO USELESS!... (something along that line lah)

wahlau eh ... *TOOT* (sorry cannot scold..just went for Christmas confesssion last nite ^_^)

have been wanting to blog about the lousy service at the banquet for such a long time...finally got to do it...hehehe....but i must say the char siu pau nice wo...

the rest ....mediocre only lah!...

some more...so expensive...3 dim sums with one small pot of tea for 2 persons...totalled up toRM20...

after that we were still no full lor...it was supposed to be a lunch date after all mah...so we went to Song Kheng Hai food court...

this time someone joined us...

ok i know this prawn dish is unrelated but just wanto post it up here for me to savor during those "hungry" periods in the office...HAHAHAHA

Red Sponge knows i can "eat" with my eyes..try me...

The things ladies do...

Went for facial on Friday evening as part of my weekend-pampering activity...hehehe...

So as i was lying on the beautician's bed (? isit even a bed? i dont know... you know what i mean lah...)

i was thinking...why do ladies go to such extent for our appearance???

hmmm do u kno how painful it could be to let the beautician poke n pry open our pores just to get those pesky whiteheads n blackheads n whatnots out from our face???

and the amount of money we spend every month on our faces???

tsk tsk tsk...

the next morning i asked mr bf....whether he noticed anything different *blink blink*

his answer...WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FACE??? HOW COME ITS SO RED?...

=(((

no appreciation at all!!!...

i'd want to see you guys go for facial and go thru the excruciating pain of having your blackheads and whatnots removed!

Once Upon a Time...

Cute or not??? i would wish for a white kelisa with pink spots all over....
