Japanese Kokeshi Dolls
Traditional Kokeshi
The exhibition of kokeshi dolls consists of 74 varying styles and characters which have been created by over 50 artists.
It’s lucky that these dolls are coming over to Penang, and it’s a must to go and visit the cute dolls!
I’m not really a fan of pancakes but I do fancy over ice-cream, nuts, fruits and
whipped cream. Jone actually suggested TGIF for over dinner on Friday. However I prefer something light, so we went to Paddington Cake House in Queensbay Mall.

Paddington Menu
As I glanced over the menu choosing what to eat, my Sony baby beep sending one message.
Who fancy me?
ME CUTE?
SOMEONE LIKE ME LAST TIME?
Have I been posting up some pictures of myself or sending my picture to any friends lately? Nahh…I didn’t. Someone must have been accidentally sending the wrong message to me or the message is suppose to send to someone else. The name on the phone captured someone by the name Ng.
Ng is actually one of the guy working in my office.
I ignored the message and continued ordering my phone. Less than 10 seconds, my phone rang.
Well, Ng must have been noticed himself sending me the wrong message and the call is to clear the misunderstandings. He sounds pretty embarrassed and apologized to me. I bet he looks red all over on the other side.
Austrian Kaiserschmarren Pancake
Finally I decided to go for this Austrian Kaiserschmarren Pancake. Classic Kaiserschmarren is pancake served with vanilla ice-cream, caramelized apples, black and golden raisins.
The picture in the menu looks delicious and tempting.

Nuts, fruits...ah my favourite.
And here is Jone acting cute posting for my camera.

Finally my food has come. And it doesn’t look as nice as in the menu. Definitely the food didn’t meet up to the menu standard.
Not-so-tempting-pancake
When I tasted the pancake, it just kills my appetite. It wasn’t so nice as it looks in the menu. I had Paddington cake house before, and today is my second time. The first time when I went there with my friends, we had buffet. I couldn’t remember how many pancakes actually went down my stomach. All I know was we were swearing that we wouldn’t have pancake anymore or at least not in the very near future.
And true enough, it was 2 years later that I actually come back to Paddington cake house to have pancake again.
The Vienna coffee was better than the food I ordered.

Jone food’s looks better than mine though. I didn’t really notice what he had ordered but somehow it looks more eat-able than my pancake.
Pan is hot, do not touch!
And of course, I didn’t manage to finish my pancake.
Anyway, it’s still a good dinner. Especially meeting old friend to catch up stories and life with.
And Jone said I look tense.
Of course I am tense with my life at this present time, but I just wonder if TENSE word is written on my forehead?
I spotted this Fuchsia mushroom outside my balcony before I go to bed last night. It was a rainy night and comfortable to go to bed with this kind of weather.
Mylo cute as usual, putting his hands under the carpet.
Little pet boy, he knows how much we love and care for him. Mylo, nick name BIG BUM- well known for the biggest bum at home. He stays at home loitering around until Mummy comes back home and feed him his favourite Pedigree meat with dried dog food.
And in return, Mylo Boy is known as the bodyguard in the house. He does not require to do much. His job description is basically bark if he hears any abnormality. Other than that, he needs to act cute when require and post for the camera when mummy request him to snap some pictures for memories.
Mylo usually get his yearly review for his performance during his birthday. His birthday treat will determine how much increment he has got base on the types of food he will get.
Last year review was good, Mylo got a Baskin Robbin Ice cream cake as his birthday gift!
I drove home late today as I was tied up at work. Couldn’t just leave until 8 plus. As I drove home passing the usual roundabout, I was caught at the red light and stopped. I noticed one car beside me and there was this familiar face. It was the girl whom I stupidly involved in a fight with 5 years ago. It was a lame fight and I couldn’t actually believe myself doing it. She has caused so much hurt and pain to me. I didn’t believe in surviving through that stage of time.
Perhaps as time passed by, I am more forgiving. Maybe I have grown more mature and looking at the bright side. Things ain’t easy but I know very well that I have learned value able things in life. Looking at things at the different angle and perceptive. Eventually I consider this as a blessing, to be a better me in life. To be more determine and appreciative.
Things happen for a reason, it is always that way and it will always will.
1. Should I go to Australia this year?
2. Should I decorate my new condo?
3. Should I continue my studies now or later?
4. Should I cut my hair short?
5. Should I rent out my current apartment?
6. Should I cut my hair short?
7. Should I look for another job?
8. Should I learn how to cook?
9. How am I going to lose weight?
10. How can I efficiently divide my personal time and my working time? It’s stressful that I have to change my mood to work mode and rest-at-home mode everyday.
I have been getting ridiculous water billing into my account for the past 1 year and basically I ignored it thinking that it could have been due to my water tank leakage couple of months ago. After I got all the problems fixed, the high water billing still incurred.
Yesterday water bill came up to RM29.20 (2 months charges) for last month. That means averagely I am spending around RM15 paying for water bill for one household staying alone. It is ridiculous when I compare to my friends who stay alone. They are paying only RM5 for 2 months averagely RM2.50 per month.
Water Billing
I thought back when I was staying with my friends, total 3 of us, our water bill was like less than RM8 for every 2 months.
Air Asia gave away 500,000 free seats for those who wants to travel from month of October 09- Jan 10. I saw the advertisement in the tv and decided to check out the free promotional seats.
Nicole and I went for a long night super ending up gossiping and laughing at other people on the silly stuff they have done. Guess that’s what girls do best. I like to talk nonsense with her, just that lately I hadn’t have much time to spend or to have the luxury to even talk about stuff. Things just happen so fast and quick. I rarely even have my own time. I rarely lay down and sleep my way till afternoon doing nothing. There are so much to do at a time. At times like this, I do wish that there is 32hours in a day, 12 hours at work and the rest of it doing my own personal stuff.
Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Emperor Claudius II, who allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail and before Valentine was to be executed, he wrote the first “valentine” himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved, the jailer’s daughter whom he had befriended. Sweet and romantic isn’t it? Celebrating the death of Mr. Valentine.
