EnJoY & ReLaX
During the last weekend + 2 days holidays = 4 days NO WORK = yattaaaaaaaaaa
I was planning to visit my parent in Sri Aman, but they went off for a holiday in BRUNEI with my brothers... yea my life sux le...
It's been such a busy 2 weeks at work so I'd decided to just laze around and catch up on my beauty nap :)
So I guess the keyword is 'enjoy' and 'relax'.
Yep. eat... read... watch... NAP... Eat... Read... Watch... Sleeeepppppppppp...
Anyway, since I didn't feel like doing my taxes, I decided to work on the blog a little more instead. I finally finished the Europe Trip Travel Log after 3 months. That's me .. the procrastination queen.

Well, here's my 'relaxing mode' setting which must include; my smelly pillow, a pot of tea, food (here's jiu hu + chili) and a good book/magazine with music from HITZ playing. yea yea ... i know veli aunty like ... old oledi mar.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, I almost finish reading the new book, so today went out for book buying spree. Hop out at 9.30am for breakfast at LingLong restaurant (near King Center) for BBQ DUCK Noodle. It's the best (& cheap too at RM4 a plate) I tell you, but parking is a headache lar...

Went to Tun Jugah's Popular 1st, then to Sarawak Plaza (2 bookstores), then last stop at BDC's Popular Bookstore.
I skip The Spring for obvious reason *hate car/human jam*
Photo on the left shows my catch of the day.
This book "Throwing the Elephant" caught my eye.


Happy Weekend!!!

Organic food
SexyLips offered me a nutritional bar by Health Valley Organic.
The name itself already sound so healthy.
Well free food wo, ppl offer, to show courtesy must accept lar....
Plus I never buy any nutritional food 1, so must try this out.
0 Trans Fat (watever that mean), 6 Vitamins & Low Fat...
fuh yooohhhh!!!
Wow ... the tart was moist and chewy that make me stop & go, "Mmmmmm..."
I was surprise healthy food can taste this good.
It was so sweet (the SUGAR FREE claim is BS lar)... but I likey... and it's strawberry flavor summore hehehe
Actually I don't know what does organic stand for? I believe that organic means that the ingredient used is not exposed to fertilizer & pestisite. Me is correct???

Blue BLue Sky
As we were driving home after work today, hubby points to the sky and exclaimed "What a pretty cloud formation." So I look up & took a proper look at the sky and realize that it's really very "SUI" lo.
What a blue blue sky.
I think that we can sometimes be so caught up with work and happenings in our lives that we tend to overlook the joys of the beauty that are all around us. Really. Smack right in front of our eyes. Sometimes u hav to look UP lar.
When I got home, quickly grab the camera & took a few snapshots from my balcony.

Mak chiu kui tua tua & C it.
Words of Wisdom
As the old saying goes:
The way to a man's HEART is through his TUMMY.
It's said to be the sure way to keep your man loyal and happy in a relationship so that he looks forward to sharing the rest of his time on this planet with you.. hehehe :) .. but hor, there's another saying, lau lang e wua ai tia ...
So today I made extra an effort to grab my man's heart by making dinner. I went all out to make sure it's more than just the usual maggie mee I cook once in a blue moon.
Something special, something different....
It was tedious process lar.
1st, boiled some tender Quail Egg & unshelled it.
Followed by loving nugget frying action.
Then goreng the care sausage & egg.
Let me show you my present 1st:
damn lar ... why everytime like that 1?? You can't blame me for not bein a good cook, from small I'm always bein chase out *shushhh* of kitchen bcoz I somehow always managed to hurt myself.
Now I is hau lian to u my masterpiece:
Mee Goreng Sambal Udang Special. Told you it was something special lor ... don't believe me, go mamak store also cannot order.
*Do u feel the lap?*
What do you think? The way to a mans HEART is through his TUMMY, true or untrue??

I likey ur thinking
A teacher asks her class, “If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?”
She calls on little BILLY.
He replies, “None, they will all fly away with the first hot.”
The teacher replies, “The correct answer is 4, but I likey your thinking.”
Then little BILLY says, “I have a question for YOU. There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream: One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?”
The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, “Well, I suppose the one that’s gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.”
To which Little BILLY replied, “The correct answer is ‘the one with the wedding ring on’, but I likey your thinking.”

Don't Wait
I was reading LengChai passed blog & this captured my attention:
I don't want to admit it but it's so true.
That's why it's important to take hold of every moment.

That's why it's important to take hold of every moment.
Here's a touching story I read, also from LengChai blog:
A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:
'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package." He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.
"She got this the first time we went toNew York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on. Was saving it for a special occasion.

Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said:
"Never save something for a special occasion.
Every day in your life is a special occasion".
"Never save something for a special occasion.
Every day in your life is a special occasion".
"Someday..." and "One day..." is an overused expression.
Remember that "One day" is far away... or might never come.
If it's worth seeing, listening or doing,
put in effort to see, listen or do it now.
It's these small things that you would regret not doing,
if you knew your time had come.
Try your best not to delay, postpone or keep anything
that could bring laughter and joy.

On each morning, say to yourself that this 'could' be a special day.
Each day, each hour, each minute, is special,
it's all about our choice.
it's all about our choice.

Jumping off the train, the LazyBums was running like crazy (with bags so heavy) from terminal 1 to terminal 2 for the appointment.

LazyBums continued their adventure in this super clean city.
Wah .. .really RICH people here.. even TAXI use Mercedes.





Pretzels!!!! lap them to bits... soft & salty & cheap:


Cute cute moussy:







10 days covering 3 Countries & 5 cities.
So glad that my travel partner was just awesome which make the whole trip such a GREAT Adventure.
Absorbing as much as possible, see, feel, touch & taste bud overload.
For 10 days in Europe, total expenses was RM3250.
Managed to claim from company RM800, so my *sweat & blood hard earned* money spent was RM2450. That sum is not even enough for the plane ticket to Germany so I'm really glad my company send me there & my BoldBoss let me extend 5 days in Europe.
There goes my piggy bank, which was not big to begin with. Now it's the size of a peanut. For comparison purpose, Uncle Lim's piggy bank is the size of Genting Highland.

Happy Naw Ruz!!
Naw-Rúz (literally new day) is the Bahá'à new year festival and falls at the spring equinox.
Naw-Rúz symbolises the new life of spring and spiritual renewal.
*my cactus are flowering again after so long*
Naw-Ruz marks the end of a period of fasting. Actually, after the sickness spell was over, I've started to fast (puasa) sunrise to sunset from 2nd to 20th Mar (19 days). Why 19 days?? Baha'i calendar has 19 months with 19 days in each month. It meant that I had fast for 1 Baha'i month.
To know more about the fast here's a short description of the fast: Baha'i fast "essentially a period of meditation and prayer"

The Baha'i community in Kuching held a celebration at Penview Inn last night (the last day of fasting). The celebration starts with prayers, then I began chomping on the sumptuous feast ... haha... really hungry le. The night festivities also include music & dancing.

Europe Day 8: Pisa, Italy Dec'07
Left Paris in the evening & reach Pisa at 8 nightish. Took a bus to town. It's such a small quiet town. Told the kind bus driver the Hostel name & he stopped at the junction nearest to the hostel & drop us. ahh.... I heart pisaian (ada ini word ka?).
Checked in & it was the nicest & cleanest hostel of the 3 cities. Was feeling hungry so braved the rain & searched for food. Now the cheapest 8 euro (RM40) umbrella I can find in Paris comes in handy.
Although I went against the travel guide of not goin into any eatery near the tower as it's more expensive but we kinda stumble upon the tower & it's the only eatery still open hahahah and it's only 9pm.
I had Tortellini. It's a kind of pasta but wrap with meat. Taste OK lar .. creamy enough for me. At least I've tasted a good pasta in Italy (still sigh *haaaii* when thinking about Rome's yucky pasta).
Time to rejuvenate as I plan to cover as much ground as possible tomolo morning & pray that it don't rain. Thank you god for loving me. I open my eyes to a not so sunny but beautiful morning.
The pretty petals by the roadside cafe on the way to the most beautiful squares in the world.
A statue of kids forms the top of a public water faucet near tower.

The pretty petals by the roadside cafe on the way to the most beautiful squares in the world.


There are 4 impressive buildings all located on "Campo dei Miracoli" (square of miracles): the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, the Campanile, the Baptistry and the Camposanto cemetery.
Looking up the Campanile, leaning tower that was actually a bell tower (haha just wanted a different angle from the postcard photo).
Close up of the Leaning Tower's base. Noticed the sinking side??
Detail of the top of the leaning tower:
Everyone tends to focus on the tower but they shouldn't - there's still a magnificent church and baptistery right next to it.
The Duomo (Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta)'s façade consists of four levels of open galleries:
1 of the 4 evangelists sit on the corners of the facade:
The mosaic above the central doorway is the Virgin Mary by Guiseppe Modena de Lucca:
The delicate carvings on the marble columns:
The doors feature bronze reliefs from the late 16th Century:
See the Baptistry (looks like a huge delicious "baci" chocolate) . It was built from 1152 to 1284. During this era, custom stated that a child could not enter a church until they were baptized. Therefore. many cathedrals of this time would have a separate baptistry constructed.

Chiesa di Santa Marie del Carmine at Corso Italia. Statues of St. Paul and St. John the Baptist are on the facade. The statue standing in front is the sculptor Nicola Pisano.













Photo on the left showed my tu lan face as the bus (to airport) still did not turned up after waiting like for centuries.
Had a great time and was glad a visit to Pisa was squeezed in.
Pisa is a pretty, compact town that is a delightmore to explore on foot, with quaint, buzzing markets, hidden treasures, narrow streets and the ambiance of “old Italy”.
