Life, Work and Everything in between

I like this B&W picture that I took using my phone. Looks rather old school kan? School has started and a lot of my colleagues were groaning since 'demam cuti' is still in. I've finally completed the assessment for my form 6 kids for their speaking test... Still have to do a lot to help them... It's not that they can't speak in English, more likely it's due to their confidence (or lack of it). Hmmm...
It's the weekend again (time really flies) but we have replacement Saturday (again). The last one for the year... Yeah!!! No classes tomorrow since we're having the school-level Merdeka celebration... We were each given 6 packs of packet drinks and 5 packets of instant noodles... Haha, hairan sik? Don't be. That's a tradition.
This is the road that I use in my daily commute to work. It's an alternative road since the main road will be used by the slo-mo almostexpiredbuses and annoying motorists and this road is used by less annoying motorist. I only need to watch out for the suicidal dogs. Haha... Everyday I will either drive leisurely or speed like a demon (depending on how late I am)... Note to self: Azam lepas cuti, nak turun awal2... On the day I took this pic, the weather was rather bright but not that warm. Been raining almost daily now though.
This is my long awaited Diploma. Finally I can apply for my 'pelantikan', the first step to permanently serve the public sector. It was a very satisfying moment when I saw the -dengan cemerlang- phrase printed in my diploma. My effort, prayers and perseverance paid off. I did it despite all the trials and tribulations all through last year (my parents' health scare, money and everything in between).
And for all the 'haters' that spread lies/stab my back/mengumpat about me back then, Haha.. Ada aku pedulik? Akak tak kesah!

Bleeding Love?

Ow...ow...ow....
It's the first day of u-know-what-time-of-the-month. I never really get any of those excruciating pain most associate with it but I do feel the discomforts and some very minor cramps (guys, you will never understand this, so better show TLC to your Mum/Sis/GF/Wife cause it ain't easy okay).

Imagine stuffing something between your legs and trying to walk as normally as usual (I know there are ultra-super-duper-slim winged pads but still having something down there is not comfortable okay?), it's definitely not a walk in the park, okay? Imagine having those cramps? Imagine having ... never mind...I wanted to describe more but later will be too graphic pulak...Haha

To make things worse, I drank some icy cold shandy. Stupidity...Ow, cramp cramp...

It's bleeding... it's, it's bleeding 'love'...

p/s: Damn! another telemarketer called me..persistently even though I rejected the calls. Luckily for her, she backed down after I told her that I'm not interested in whatever cards she was offering... If not, habis la ko. Dah la aku tgh jadi singa gila ni...

Annoyingly Stupid Callers

Puccy's tulan face ("Do NOT mess with me!")

Nowadays, I hate to pick up my phone especially when caller ID shows the numbers beginning with either 03-xxxx xxxx, or private number or even unknown mobile numbers... Usually they mean one thing: TELEMARKETERS.

Damn, I hate getting these calls. Not only that they are such an annoying lot, they are persistently annoying enough to keep calling even when we gave them a whole bucket-load of excuses or ignoring their calls. It seems to me that the only time they will stop is when I told them off or that I am not interested (usually in less than civil ways).

The nicer ones, they let it go at that.

The annoying ones, either pekak or cognitively challenged.

For example, this happened this morning.

I got a call on my mobile and the number was "03 - xxxx xxxx", I don't normally entertain unknown numbers but my parents are away in KL, so I thought that it might just be them.

Here goes the conversation:

Caller : Hello. May I speak to Ms. C.....

Me : Speaking.

Caller : Hi, C..... This is XXXXX from AIA bla bla bla... we are promoting bla bla bla insurance ... bla bla bla... if anything happen to you we will pay full insured amount (Wah! Like wish me die pulak like that hor) bla bla ... Ms C... are you there? bla bla bla...

Me : (very disinterested and increasingly annoyed) but I already have insurance and I don't need anything else at the moment.

Caller : Ms. C... even if you have insurance... bla bla bla ...

Me : (very annoyed/irritated/pissed off) Now look! I am the one paying for all these stuffs and I have the right to say and decide that I don't need it. Okay? (hangs up)

Now I know that they're just doing their job but hey, don't do it at the expense of my sanity okay? I am in PMS-zone now and please do not give me any reasons/excuses to lash out. I'm already naturally sarca-nasty (sometimes) as I am...

Snapshots: Food Hunt

For the past few days, been eating at home. Been staying (jadi penunggu rumah) at home since my parents went berjoli to KL leaving me here slaving marking students' exam papers.. On Monday, I steamed some chicken wings and also cooked some brinjals with udang kering...

Steamed chicken wings with some bungai kechala

Brinjals with Udang kering..yummy

Yesterday's early morning rain suddenly made me crave for some hot kampua mee. It certainly did not help when someone kept mentioning how much he missed the kampua mee in Sibu and requested to tapao some if I'm visiting...

What to do lah? So early in the morning got any souls awake yet ah? So I tried calling Pooh and she was also awake but still in bed. So I hasut her to join in in my plans to conquer the world hunt for food.

We had...

Kampua Putih (mine)
Kampua Kicap (Pooh's)

After enjoying our breakfast (and annoying org itu dgn MMS of hot kampua mee), we sat back and pondered our next plan...

... which is to continue our quest to hunt for delicious foodies. Which brought us to this...
Glory Cafe's Mi TomYam Udang

Yes, the famous noodles with udang galah. It was good but should have ordered mihun instead as the noodles were too filling. Both of us didn't manage to finish our noodles. Dasar tamak haloba...
The price? RM 14 per serving...

and we also ordered this but had to tapao it as we were full already.

Yam Pork

Alas, our quest has to end since the evil pile of papers were beckoning us to start marking... Aiseh... Not for me. I went for my torture facial session. Ow ow ow...

P/s: I think it's near that time of the month since I've been craving food day and night...
PMS ---> my excuse for gluttony (at least it's better than snapping ppl's heads off kan?)
