*Embarassed*

It will be awhile until I'd step into Dome Cafe again and this is why..

Met up with my usual school gang on tuesday night and we had a good iftar at chilis(we've been friends for almost 20 years now..wow..). I was truly full at the end of the dinner eventhough I didn't even finished my steak nor did I finished my manggo juice eventhough it was supposed to be bottomless (see, my stomach got 'bottom' afterall!). Thinking hot coffee could help to sooth our bloated tummies (especially mine), off we went to Dome Cafe next, except for Ann who left early with her daughter.

Dome was much quieter than Chilis so we continued our chit-chatting and hot gossips (we're girls afterall!)while enjoying our coffee. Towards the end of the session, I suddenly felt nauseous and dizzy, on top of the bloatedness that wasn't eased by the hot coffee I consumed at all. Eiderq suggested for me to get a brownbag to breathe into so Suzie and Liza got up and started asking for it from the counter. Thought a dash to the toilet would be a better idea, I stood up to make a move but it was a huge huge mistake. Within seconds, a wave of vomit came out from my mouth (and nose!) and went straight into my coffee cup! Everybody was obviously shocked especially the waitresses who were just waiting for us to leave to close shop for the day. Not knowing what to do, I quickly apologised and walked away, leaving behind a cup full of vomit for the poor waitresses to clean after me... Thinking of it now, I should have cleaned the mess myself shouldn't I? Gosh... sungguh memalukan!!

Anyway, I went to the toilet with my ever-so-caring girlfriends in tow and again, as soon as I arrived at the sink, I vomited. A much larger volume this time with all the remaining half-digested meat, broccoli and mashed potato came out through both my mouth and nose... How disgusting!

Dan itulah pengalaman saya yang paling memalukan di dalam bulan ramadhan al-mubarak ini (so far).. sekian, terima kasih.

I'm not fat, I'm just big-boned!

Alot of people have been commenting on my physical changes these past few months.. you can even read 2 or 3 of those in this blog alone (and I'm regretting putting up the MMMP dinner photos now!). So, now that I can't use 'food-just-to-keep-me-sane-while-working-on-my-thesis' excuse anymore, I probably have to do something about it soon. I have lost a bet with Ardy once (and I still owe him a slice of chocolate indulgence) and I don't intend to lose again. I'm not very good at handling failures you see :)

Funny thing is, I never see weight as a big issue before. I have NEVER been on diet before and if I had a pound or two to lose, I'd just play more sports and the weight will disappear naturally. The thing is, I hardly play sports anymore these days and yet,I'm enjoying food more and more. I'll be out eating (and gossiping) with my girlfriends at Chilis later tonight, a dinner outing tomorrow and another breakfasting meet-up on Thursday...how??

Anyway, to all pancake-lovers out there, I am sure you'll loveeee these:



The top one is called pandora box or something and I can tell you, it's heaven!*drolls* They're from Paddington Pancakes at Plaza Damas.

Selamat berbuka all!

Merdeka, merdeka, merdeka!! :)

I am done. Had doubts of my own capabilities at certain points especially during those long nights when I was in front of the laptop with blank mind but yeah, I've finally finished it. I think it turned up alright too although it could be better. I may regret in the future for not putting in the extra efforts but the truth is...at this point, I just don't care..I just wanted to finish it, and I did.

Just sent the 3 sets to the printer for binding and if everything goes well, 2 will be on their way to Belfast by tuesday and 1 will be on my local supervisor's desk on the same day. And by then, I will be truly done.

Yippeeeeeee!

Anyway, this song has been playing in my car, from my laptop and now, from this blog too. Enjoy!


End of an era (and the beginning of a new one)

So, I turned 48 a few days ago. Instead of having the day off to celebrate, it was a busy day instead starting with a virtual viva session f...
