a b e - s t e r i a

I know I have not been blogging consistently but I've been kinda caught up with some stuff. Lets see, to briefly update, here's wha's been happening.

Woke up feeling lazy at first. One of those days where you just feel like staying in bed and not having to move a single muscle for the rest of the day.

Dragged my lazy ass out of bed for a nico stick and also for a shower and lunch. Bro and I grabbed lunch at our usual spot and just when I was finishing up with lunch, Charmaine text me to have lunch as well. So I decided to accompany her for lunch.

Picked her up and off we went to Sri Devi. At the same time, a brilliant plan was concocted - going to the TTDI park with her dog, Fluffy and Xavie's dog, Bandit (aka The Rapist / Sexual Predator). You'll know what I mean soon.

Got ourselves to TTDI and off we started on our journey through the slopes and gravel. And Bandit (a male) could not take his eyes of Fluffy (a female) at all - hence the nicknames. Needless to say, Xavie had a rather hard time dragging the poor lil sexed up dog away from Fluffy, who couldn't care less about Bandit haha! They're both cute dogs. Still, Bandit was totally hyped up with Fluffy. Huffing and puffing whenever he got near to her. On heat lah this one. Fluffy maintained her cool, elegant poise by snubbing him and went on her merry way.

Too bad I did not have my camera with me to take pics of the moments Bandit tried to take advantage of Fluffy. Too cute can die. Will post some that were taken by Aaron's phone when I get the chance.

At times, we had to carry Fluffy during some parts of our walk. Let's face it - Shih-tzus are not made for walking. They're made to be home ornaments where they can just sit there and look cute and fluffy all day long.

Our walk was much entertaining because of Bandit's endless attempts to have a sniff of Fluffy's ass. 'Twas indeed a good work out.

We made way for home and now I have to recuperate for a tentative plan to bring Adam and co. to Batu Caves early tomorrow morning. Not sure how that's going to work out since they've got to sort out the hotel arrangements as well.

I'm feeling extremely groggy and lethargic for some reason. It's either the gloomy atmosphere and cool air or I'm falling sick. I'm really hoping it's the former.

As I sit here in my bedroom with eyes glued to the monitor and a cancer stick in my mouth, my head is spinning as I try to decide what to do for the rest of the day. There's no squash today (booo!) and most likely, no badminton either. The contingency workout plan would be the 4km walk at the TTDI park.

Seeing how groggy and wonky I feel, I hope it happens. The weather's awefully tempting to sleep in. Also hoping that it doesn't rain again. It was raining the whole night last night right up till this morning. I wonder if anyone's building an ark...

On another issue, Adam, Gaz and Jen will be flying in from the UK next Saturday for their 3 week visit to Malaysia and I'm gonna play Mr. Tourguide / Taximan (YAY!). Also coming to KL is JOSHY POSHY! Josh is flying in on the 19th from Adelaide. Josh, if you're reading this, you better remember to give me a call. Then we can sekali harung hang out with Adam and co. I'm praying I don't get us lost in the streets of KL considering how poor my knowledge of KL roads is.

*fingers crossed*

Sigh. For now, gonna rest up and hope I feel better before my walk in the park with Hogs and Mei Yee. Toodles!

Yup, after weeks of planning and procrastinating (and cancelling due to weather conditions), I finally swam today. The experience was unexpected since it felt like I was swimming in a bucket of ice. Yes it was coooooooooooold! Did 2 laps and gave up cos it wasn't fun trying to swim and shivering in the water at the same time :(

On another issue, what is up with MSN and/or Streamyx? Are they both fucked up or is it just one of them? Various friends of mine seem to be having issue with their internet, myself included.

I am inclined to blame Streamyx cos it is usually their fault. I used to call their so-called helpline but I think after having made hundreds of phone calls made to them and making them cry, I've lost the will to scold. Besides, not good for my blood pressure.

Their bosses are probably taking all our money and gallavanting with it. And now, they're promoting their 4MB connection. Fuckers. I upgraded from 512K to 1MB and frankly, no difference except for the price. On top of that, their announcements on their website always seem to reflect some sort of "upgrade" or "maintenance" to serve us better. Bollocks. Eat shit and die, assholes. Upgrade my ass lah. It's most likely a term they prefer to use to replace "OMG WE FUCKED IT UP AGAIN BUT LET'S JUST LIE TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND SAY WE'RE DOING A GOOD THING FOR THEM BUT ACTUALLY WE CAN'T BE BOTHERED"

Idiots.

Let us hope that Maxis bucks up and goes all out with their broadband services. It's time that Streamyx's monopoly comes to an end. Die, motherfuckers!
