Roti boy!

I know this is nothing new la...but believe it or not...i just tried roti boy last week! 'x' and ive been there twice since then and am still thinking of the nice fragrant bun! :D

i can remember the first time i saw a roti boy cart in Orchard road Singapore 5 years ago. i couldnt understand what's the big fuss about a kosong bun! so never bothered to try la...

and boy am i hooked to roti boy! the crunch sweet taste of the outer crust and the soft fluffy buns with the mysterious filling (i think its butter)

its true..one is never enough!! :D
and surprise of all surprises..roti boy originated from Penang...lol

i wanto go back for more roti boys!!!

Accident Prone me

Can't believe i m such a big klutz!

yes i got my finger cut AGAIN...

and you just wouldnt believe how i got it cut this time...you know the metal thingy u use to "kiap" things?

this one la...

well, i was in the office cafeteria one fine afternoon trying to put some kueh into a plastic bag and my finger somehow got trapped in between the metal edges of its handle =_="

it's almost absurd how much blood that cut produced!

:D

Durian @ Balik Pulau

Since it's the durian season now...we took the opportunity to drive up to balik pulau in search of durians!!! :)

the road to balik pulau is really quite hard to drive for our small cc car...going up and down...i can feel the engine groaning when going up the hill (altho i m not the one driving la 'x')

along the road there are quite a few "stalls" selling durian. you can eat your durians there just like any normal coffeeshop :P

there's the cap kaki durian...

and even got cap tangan..hahaha

we went for the cap kaki ;)


you can eat the durian in the natural habitat of durians...

you tell the owner wat kind of durian you want...sweet/bitter? red meat?

and they will choose one for you...i m amazed at their durian expertise :P

this sweet durian here cost us RM18

but it is well worth the money since the whole fruit is guaranteed good!

even got complimentary water for you to eat on top of their durian shaped table :P

and we bought back a red meat durian

nice....

looking at the pic makes me yearn for moreee!!!!

Risk of cancer associated with asbestos

It is not well known to most people the danger of asbestos to our health. In fact, it was only a few year's back that i only learned that asbestos is actually a very high risk cancer causing agent. When you talk about health-hazards agents people will mostly think of chemical exposure such as harmful fumes, acids, etc. Many people are not well aware of this fact, and do not view working in a environment where they are constantly exposed to asbestos as highly hazardous!

Asbestos exposure can actually cause a very dangerous form of lung cancer called Mesothelioma. It is most common among workers in shipbuilding industries, construction, contracters and demolition as it is caused by inhaling the asbestos dust and fibre. People who are diagnosed are normally given compensation but this is such a feeble compensation for what they are suffering from! Considering that the patients' chances of recovery is quite slim. Which is why, working with an agressive mesothelioma attorney will make a big difference.

As a matter of fact, many asbestos manufacturers have gone bankrupt over the years thanks to the help of an experienced lawyer in helping their clients get their well-deserved compensations. Most manufacturers know about the dangers of asbestos but prefer to keep it to themselves and therefore endangering the thousands of people who continue to work in such an environment without knowing the fact.

Another Filler Post

Nurse Lifestyle Magazine

Working in a hospital is no easy job since it is a matter of life and death even if you make one small mistake! Which is why it is nice to see some people taking the effort to create Scrubs which caters especially for nurses. The magazines talk about stuffs like summer fashion for both scrubs and regular fashions! Can you imagine there's even fashion for scrubs? Well, for those of us who are not nurses, we sure won't understand the feeling of wearing the same old scrubs to work everyday.

There's also reviews on makeup and beauty section. One article that caught my attention talked about the importance of applying lipstick to change your whole look in just a few minutes. It particularly related to nurses as most of them are tired and short in time since they have to work shifts and what-nots. So applying lipstick is the easiest and fastest way to primp themselves up before work! This article called "Waking up younger" talks about simple steps to wake up younger. I think this is especially important for nurses due to their busy work schedules.

There is also a whole lot of other topics being discussed such as work, jokes and even about love. Now don't you wish there are magazines out there which caters for your particular job field? I do wish to have a Programmer's Lifestyle magazine :)

Shopping for a new outfit!

Since the mushrooming of so many online boutiques, i have been hopelessly addicted to online shopping. Just to imagine that few years back, online shopping seemed like a futuristic and far away thing. Apart from the convenience of being able to shop straight from your house in front of your computer, most items sold online are also sold cheaper. It is no wonder we girls fall head over heels in love with online shopping.

If you like me, are always looking for the most updated and most trendy outfits online, you would love PlanetTogs. They are an international fashion e-boutique specializing in high-end fashions from up and coming designers from all around the world. The great thing about this is, you can get high-end fashion at a bargain price! As i browsed through the outfits, i saw designs coming from Brazil,Australia,Germany and even Singapore!





This particular dress from a Germany-based designer really caught my eye

i m a sucker for pretty party dresses and am currently looking for the perfect halter neck dress ;)

Since all the designs presented here are from budding designers, most of it have not even reached the US market. Therefore, you can be sure that you might even be the only one having that particular outfit!

Langkawi Trip (Part I)

Took opportunity of the long weekend holiday to go to Langkawi last week! :) Silly me didnt know that Firefly has direct flights from Penang to Langkawi when i booked the ferry tickets online

I had my qualms about taking the ferry ride which takes around 2 hours 45 minutes but i brushed it aside telling myself that i have survived express boat rides to Sibu before and i was fine!

But on the morning of the trip itself , we were greeted with ominous clouds and rain :(

but still! i was positive! =)

yay...to and fro tickets costing rm115 per person!

upon stepping onto the ferry i felt giddy already...it could be just my mind playing tricks on me so i tried to remain positive...but as the ride started, and the wave rocked the ferry left right left right and occasionally up and down...ughh things didnt seem to look so good anymore

the rainy weather continued and the sea water was BLACK in color...
it was so scary that i didnt dare open my eyes for most part of the journey. to make matters worst, people left,right,front and behind were vomitting =_="

that's me but i didnt vomit...i was on the verge of doing so. nothing gets you going like the sight of people vomitting! haha. during the ride itself, we agreed that our first stop upon reaching Langkawi would be the langkawi airport to book firefly tickets for our return trip! LOL

our little ride in langkawi

this was included into the hotel package...rm155 per nite...cheapo huh?

all over langkawi there's empty roads and more empty roads

look!!! buffaloes!!!

so sakai i know..but i never see real life buffaloes before!

(TO BE CONTINUED...)

My New Company

So i started work in my new company last week. So far so good and i must really thank God that i m still able to find a job in this kind of economy turmoil

As with any change of job, there is of course the period of getting used to the new environment new colleagues new job scope

So far i m loving my new cubicle :)

everything is sparklingly brand new and my boss is treaeting me well (so far 'x')

first day lunch for all new hire :)

and i need some getting used to working in west msia .... there is certainly some differences

for one, i need to crack my head and looking up google map on finding the best route to go and come back from work...lol

but it is a new challenge for me :)

oh and i love the toilet in my new company....hahaha...clean n modern!
and also the cafeteria...i told some people its almost as good as a 3 star hotel buffet but i dont think they will believe me

they have heated plates and mugs u kno... and the spread of food they have for bfast,lunch and tea time is quite impressive for an office canteen :P

best of all, i can now buy yoghurt at either 70cents or 20cents for bfast/lunch :P

few days ago i had this ice cream for free with my rm1.50 lunch subsidy

and last week i used my lunch subsidy to buy these 2 cream rolls for our langkawi trip the next day...LOL

simple perks that makes me a happy employee....for now!
