Annalakshmi

I love Indian food. Sometimes I think I should marry an Indian guy so I can eat Indian food everyday. Haha. Kidding. Anyway had dinner at Annalakshmi. Reminded me of my Indian dinner which I used to indulge with delight back in uni days at The Legends (my fave was the mutton banana leaf rice+manggo lassi). Just that Annalakshmi looked more posh. Nice ambiance with classic instrumental Indian music in the background. We went for the buffet that was laid out. It was all vegetarian. Still very nice. Mmmmmmarvelous! They had the rice, curries, papadam and my fave idly. We whacked and ate to our hearts content. Hehehe. Of course we still have time to camwhore!

BUT I'M NOT DINING THERE EVER AGAIN...

So I was told that we can pay as much as we like (pay according to your consciousness, so they say). Therefore I decided to pay 10 bucks for 2 person since I was treating Cheryl. The man at the cashier said that they are also helping out with charity. Some of their profits go to the poor. So fine, I decided to add another 2 bucks then, add up to total RM12 (RM6 per person). When I paid him the money, he glared at my 12 bucks and he scoffed at it. Can you believe that?!? He scoffed at us! Auww come on! It's only vegetarian food. No meat! How costly can it be? Even vegetarian banana leaf rice at The Legends is only RM4.50 (which I think is standard). Plus I added another 2 bucks for charity and he dare scoff at me?!? His face was as sour as their mango lassi. So were our moods and impression on that dining place after that.

Annalakshmi, my first and last time.

Helena's back

We ate and be merry. Italiannies, simply delicious! I had lagsana, best I ever tasted. Yum yum! Bottomless iced lemon tea. Had encounter with various weird waiters there. There's one waiter whom I stopped to get a refill by saying "Excuse me?" and guess what? He just passed by and replied "Excuse me" back! It was hilarious. We had fun laughing at the waiters. There's another waiter who suddenly appears out of nowhere aka "now you see, now you don't: Chipmore (no offence, but he looked like the colour too)", and there's also the one who is stoned: expressionless. I had to ask for lots of refills no thanks to Hauer and Helena who kept pitching from my glass just because it was refillable. Kidding.

Dinner was satisfying. Overly-satisfying. Hauer had angel hair that could feed 10 people. Apparently she oddered the wrong type/serving. I had chocolates for my birthday (coming soon!). Thanks Helena. Well after dinner, she got high (act cute). Yeah it was either the excess carbs or grape smooties. Nah, maybe not. After dinner we camwhored, as usual.

Not enough stuffing ourselves for the night, we proceeded to cakes after that. A little celebration since our birthdays coming soon. Overindulgence to the max! *burp*

HAIRSPRAY-ed.

I have been Hairspray-ed! It was an awesome experience. Although I had to rush from work. Practically running from office. But it was all worth it. Not to mention it was a musical. Made me happy and wanted to sing and dance along. It's a happy movie. A comedy. So colourful and so 60's. The fashion, the style and oh THE HAIR! Welcome to the 60's!

No doubt, John Travolta stole the limelight. I guess some viewer (including me) flocked the cinema just to catch John Travolta in a fat lady suit. And boy, you will not be dissapointed. He looked a really pretty lady although fat. I mean that's his characther, Mrs. Turnblad, the mother of the progatonist of this movie, Tracy Turnblad. James Marsden (from X-Men: Cyclops) looked like he's in a toothpaste comercial, rather than Corny Collins' Show, he kept smiling and showing off his pearly whites. Still outshined by Zac Efron who played Link Larkin, the cutie and most popular boy in Baltimore. And true to its name, hairsprays were used in almost every Corny Collins' Show (talk about polluting the air with aerosol!). Hair wise, big is in! The higher, the bigger, the better.

Salsa Beginner 1~ complete.

Salsa Sam taught us salsa. Groovy baby!

My classmates. Beginner 2 anyone?

14 hour Salsa Marathon at Impiana Hotel. Gosh I have no eyes +_+

Prone to self-embarass

Omg. I met Joel, the winner of NTV7 reality TV show "The Firm" at an event today. We chatted a bit, exchanged name cards. Sweet. He's super tall, super cute and oh so down-to-earth. Or maybe because he knows I'm from the press so he's nice. Still eye candy ^^

Worst part today is that I totally embarassed myself when Koh Tsu Koon wanted to shake hands with me as I was stuffing food into my mouth and my hands were dirty. Damn, who ever invented finger foods? !@#$@#$% Anyhoo, I just squirmed and made a disgusting sound to signal him that my hands are dirty and I can't do handshakes. So memalu-fying. He must be thinking that I'm such a pig. Hoink hoink.

And oh, I also laid eyes on one of the cutest male reporter so far. Paul Choo from The Star. He's so adorable. I handed him sugar for his coffee this afternoon. We had Starbucks. Very nice place to hold a press conference. Anyway Yune knows him. So we exchanged details about this latest catch. Did some homework: he's from Penang (although looked like from East M'sia), smoker, banana (like me), a bit quiet though. According to Yune, he's the cutest guy on newsdesk. Swoon.

Oh the man hunt never ends! I like my job *wink wink*

I just wished my office had more cuties for me to cuci mata. Sigh. Peter got a new haircut. Everbody complimented his looks, even my male boss. Hehe. But he's leaving soon. Plus he completely ignores me. Bah!

Por que? Por que no? El es que lindo. Pero soy no hermosa. Ay de mi! Me gusta pero no te quiero. Jaja.

Love-Hate Relationship

Which explains me & Grandmaster 'R'.
Enuf' said.

You are ban from viewing my blogspot!!!
No, not you. I meant YOU (you know who you are...)

I'm not a ninja-turtle.
I'm not uptight (anyone who knows me would tell you that I'm NOT) .
And I DO NOT have blonde moments!

Just found out that apparently Uncle Keith was really UNCLE Keith. But he bakes the most amazing scones and speaks French. Hauer adores him. "40?! Nah, age is no barrier." What's that you said, Hauer? Oh height is a barrier then?!?! Ish. You are not doing Shomen any justice. Poor Shortman, opps.. I mean Shomen. Shomen has the hots for Hauer. Always hounding her. They looked so cute together. Bahahaha... Evil.

STRIPPED

It has been confirmed. My "Sunday Rendezvous" segment on Sunday afternoon has been STRIPPED OFF. Sad sad sad =(

I had so many ideas of what to be put on the show. I want to invite guests to the show, a segment called "Youths of Today, Leaders of Tommorrow". And I have just found my resources of where can I get these people. But it's all unimportant now.

I know I did mistakes the first time around. But give me time to practise and to get the hang of it, and I'll be better. But honestly I was quite unsure how or what format it should be the first time around. At that time, I tried to sound "mature" and was very conscious with my English that I forgot to add LIFE to my show and probably bore some people. And there was lack of time and content management for the show. I'm sorry but I really wanted for things to work out.

But one thing, I wasn't nervous at all. I had fun doing it. Reading news, playing songs, playing with the faders. Just that I need more time to get used to it and definitely need more preparation in the contents. And finally decide on the the style. Sounding old and mature doesn't work for me. That's what I learnt from my first time that day. So best is to be myself the next time. Less scripted more natural. Just me.

Sigh. With all that said, what's the point now?

When will I be given a chance to shine?

Tell me WHY?

I always ask WHY. Well why not? The scientist in me always asks WHY and HOW. Sometimes I ask too much and more often than not, the wrong/stupid question. Note to self: ask stupid questions, and you will get stupid answers, or feel even stupid-er afterwards. Sometimes I ask too straight forward that it seems like I'm questioning one's authority. But that was not my intention. I asked so that I can see the rational behind it and someday I can make wise decisions like you.

Why is the sky blue?

Transmitted light (from the sun, light bulbs, fire, etc) is made up of a spectrum of colors. The longest wavelengths of light are on the red end of the spectrum and the shortest wavelengths are on the blue/violet end of the spectrum.

When transmitted light such as sunlight enters our atmosphere it collides with the oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The color with the shorter wavelength is scattered more by this collision. Because violet and blue are the shortest wavelengths the sky appears to be violet / blue. But because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light than they are violet light, we perceive the sky as blue.

Our eyes contain thousand of rods and cones, which are the receptors for light. Whenever one of the 3 Stooges pokes you in the eye you see a giant blue spot. This is because the blue receptors have been activated. Blue is one of the primary colors and thus more easily activated and seen by our eyes.

Blue is also what I feel when my boss marah me. It is also what I feel when I don't live up to my own expectation. Blue is current colour of my room curtain. Blue is usually my least favoured colour as it seems tad boring to me. Blue is the most least of what makes up my closet. But then again, blue is the colour of the sea (I love beaches!) and blue is usually associated with BOYS. Like boys are blue, girls are pink. And blue looks good on boys. Especially if he has baby blue eyes. So the colours isn't that bad after all.

Why is the sky blue: Summary
So, why is the sky blue? It is because blue light from the sun strikes the air molecules and scatters and our eyes perceive it as blue.

Why is the sky blue: Short Summary
Why is the sky blue, you ask? Blue in sunlight collides with air molecules and our eyes see it as blue.

Why is the sky blue: Condensed
Sunlight collides with air, scatters blue wavelengths.

Why is the sky blue: Ultra-Condensed.
You are seeing things. Stop asking.

Last question WHY: Why is the SEA blue?

The sea reflects the sky.

Depressed Opressed Surpressed (D.O.S)

Usually this term is only used in debate, where I'm usually the one depressed, oppressed and surpressed by "The Dictator". But today I somewhat felt the same way, just worst, magnified to the power of 1000.

Today 1st time went on air, 2-6pm "English slot" with Bahasa here and there. I just did what boss said and today I kena "burned". OUCH! NO words could express how I feel when I was told to wrap up at 5pm when my slot was supposed to be until 6pm. Kena halau. Huhuhuhu...

!@#$%

Yeah that was what I felt.

Hey, was I that bad till I kena halau? I do admit it may be a little boring. Cut me some slacks lah... I was just getting used to the whole equipment which was new to me. I haven't touched one of those in 3 years. Not to mention I was somewhat unprepared lah. Obviously, because I was so busy doing something else i.e. editing audio stuff and out covering stories. But then again, it's not your problem right? Yeah, why did I even bother complaining.

Ok talking about complaining. Yes I admit sometimes I complain too much. Gosh it's so annoying I know. Trying to curb this bad habit. But there's actually a lot of factors to it. For example nobody understands the life of a public tranporter like me. I hate going back late because I will then worry if my train or bus will then turn into pumpkins after 12 midnight. Or how dangerous is it to take public transportation especially at night. I get paranoid when I'm alone in the streets at night. Nobody understands this. Thus it kind of affects other things as well. Somehow it feels like I complain too much but the matter of fact is, there so much more reasons behind it. I so want a car now. Sigh. Nobody understands, and nobody cares. That's why it's probably good to vent it in here. At least I get to vent my frustration and express myself without people saying to my face that I complain too much. Complain or no, I just don't care.

Anyhoo, today may be my first and last time I have a four hour slot for myself to anchor as boss said they have to re-evaluate and access the English block again. At the moment choices are either whole thing in English or BM, not mix. However the former seemed least likely at the moment.

*fingers+toes crossed*

Just when I'm just about to get started, my hopes and dreams are now crushed. I know I made mistakes, and maybe I bore you with my stupid ikan bakar stories. I wasn't really sure about the format as well. Should I sound more mature instead of bubbly (which is being just myself). And I was so dead conscious about my English (no thanks to Mr.R) that I forgot to add LIFE to my show which explained why it sounded so monotonous. Even I myself at one point felt that I sounded boring and old... But I'm willing to learn and I so want to improve and be better and ultimately be the best. May take some time. Sigh, I don't know what to hope for now...

It is when you expect so much that when not able to achieve it, you fall down so hard that you crash.
