Since it’s my birthday…Presenting Mr & Mrs. froggies..the cake.

From MyraJean’s cake

…so here we are. The quarter century mark. Yesterday’s mambo jambo at Zouk was a laugh. With a falsie Kylie strutting with cock peacock feathers, old skool never sounded so good.

A good start to an older year.Thank you Stanly & Mandy for coming out on a school day and proving what friends are for.And for the bunch of I-am-not-sure-who-you-are people who heartily drank to my health,wealth and sanity. It’s strange how many of them I met during my last birthday at Ascott,only to reappear a year later doing exactly the same thing..drinking.

No birthday celebrations tonight, picking Si up from the airport.So it’ll be work till 9pm, and then off to the airport and straight to sex bed. We’re off to Redang till Sunday, so no updates till tuesday. Island paradise tomorrow…here I come!!!

Happy burfday to mee…happy burfday to me…happy burfday to me…happy burfday to me

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t believe I’m turning a quarter century tomorrow.

Tonight. Zouk.Vodka Redbull.

…the bean section at your local supermarket?

Yes, as in baked canned beans beans.Canned beans in tomato sauce. How hard can that be right? Just pick a can, any can.

Not if you’re English..or at least the English I know.There is this certain craze for beans..might it be beans on toast or just beans or whatever beans. Like Americans with chili

BUT it has to be Heinz. Nothing will do other than Heinz.According to Mr. Bore, it’s just better.Period.

In my crusade to surprise Si with his beloved beans, I spent a weekend looking for beans. Not all shops sells the almighty Heinz..

Me: ’scuse me, do you stock canned baked beans?

Grocery store person: Yah of cos. Tomahtoh soz right?

Me: Yeah, canned beans. But it must be Heinz.

Grocery store person: Wah? Haih bin? Don haver.Got Yeo, got Bell Monthe, Gleen Jaint..Take Yeo, Yeo verri good. Got discount..buy two get one free! You pour on top of flied egg..wah..

This went on for some time at most shops..finally manage to track it down to Cold Storage where it’s Heinz galore.Yup…Heinz Baked Beans ala

" English Recipe, Cheesy tomato, BBQ flavored, No salt, No sugar,Low fat,Vegetarian, with sausages,organic,Tomato sauce…"

WHAT IS A GIRL TO DO??

According to BBC:

"Government health advisors say tinned products can now count towards your recommended daily intake of five portions fruit and vegetables.

The British Dietetic Association (BDA) has given Heinz the go-ahead to label more than 70 different canned products as counting towards the recommended portions. "

So, half a can of beans count as a portion of your 5-a-day. Try two and a half cans for a fart that’s out of this world. Or what I call a healthy fart. From thefart.com aka yaPoo:

" Beans contain sugars that we humans cannot digest. When these sugars reach our intestines, the bacteria go wild, have a big feast, and make lots of gas!

Other notorious fart-producing foods include corn, bell peppers, cabbage, milk, and raisins."

I’m leaving for the UK in less than a month and I still have no idea where I wanna go! I have been getting progressively lazy on my jaunts…I remember last year’s HK trip where I dug and searched and re-read…now i just can’t be arsed even though this will definately turn out to be the most expensive trip of my life yet. At RM7=1 pound, this is bound to be a bank breaking venture..Say bye-bye new camera…

So I hopped over to MPH over the weekend and got the Rough Guide on England. Ended up with Star Warped, tops from Naf Naf and a spree at Shu Uemura as well. USD 16.50 for an eyelash curler? I think I’m going nuts…Anyway, I digress…back to the rough guides.

Somehow, I always feel safer with a copy of Rough Guide on my various jaunts..got one for Bali and another for Hongkie Town. Had a huge one on California whilst I was living there for 3 years. Did Manila without my trusty Rough Guide and am regretting it..somehow I know that there’s just tonnes that I’ve missed out on.

England, off the top of my head:

1. Ashdown Forest; E Sussex - Home of Winnie the Pooh
2. Whitby; Yorkshire - Dracutrail
3. Haworth; Yorkshire- Bronte Country
4. Cadbury world! -  Choc heaven
5. Krispy Kreme! - Around London. I dreamt about this yesterday.
6. Pint(s) at the pub(s)
7. London eye, Crown Jewels at the Tower, changing of the Lobster Bags -London
8. Shopping at H&M- Not-to-be-missed…dearly departed days lazing in Paris and Brussels.
9. Compulsory Wales for a full-blast English wedding with the whole nine yards. Church, luncheon and dinner-dance. In a town that sounds like it’s pronounced DoggyLand.
10. Bits and bobs of Leeds, Manchester  and around Yorkshire.

Think I’ve got enough to keep me occupied for 2 weeks. And of course, the meet-the-parents horror show will be an ongoing parade. With two sets of parents and various relatives,siblings and mates…

So does the big apple.

Story stolen from Glenn.

A most refreshing sight.In Snapple’s attempt at the world’s largest popsicle, the Big Apple is now Strawberry Kiwi.You would think that they’ll at least make it with Snapple Apple.

Thanks for reminding me Glenn!

Was lunching with a colleague yesterday.Turns out that his brother in law is an intern doctor. One of the hospitals he was sent to was in Malacca, about 2 hours drive away from KL. Where chicken rice reigns and food is at it’s finest.

Initially, interns are assigned to tag along with experienced doctors, observing the seniors and helping out in simple tasks, like cleaning a wound or removing sutures. They usually get excited when they get involved with anything more than a routine round and giving tetanus shots. They particularly twist their knickers over observing their first delivery.

One day, intern Junior was called upon to observe a delivery by Senior. Unable to contain himself,he was hopping around and getting all nervous. Upon delivery, Senior asked Junior to suture the vagina, as a small incision was made on the vagina before the delivery process.

With that instruction, Senior went out of the room and got out of his scrubs. Moments later, he returned to a ghastly sight. In his excitement, Junior had sewn the poor woman’s vagina tightly shut.

There are political blogs, insult blogs,satire blogs…mine is just plainly filled with whatever I want to write or paste.I have stayed away from commenting on most issues even whilst visiting other blogs…90% of what I post is filled with personal pictures or small interludes in my daily grind. Hey, the blogsphere is happy land for free speech. I am having my little bit of byte.

You know, I’ve always wondered when will my first flame-comment come in.For the love of god, I never expected it to be coming from a total stranger who looks like she’s been pimping herself around the block a couple of times. Obviously not insults from someone who looks like she should really invest in:

" total facial plastic surgery, major liposuction and intensive english writing remedial"

…which,for her info,should be intensive English remedial lessons.And darling,there IS no cure for your pockmarked face I’m afraid.

"skin sags and fats load faster as aging takes place after your 25th birthday, so having a less than desirable face and body can be a curse in 10yrs time."

And for that comment to be coming from someone who looks like her tits have been patiently obeying gravity’s pull , oh yessiree,I believe you. Oh and Miss Leaf (I assume it’s miss cos only someone who needs major eye surgery will dare marry you) ,you do need some intensive dental work done on you as well.

GROW UP! And GET LOST. I don’t know you and I’ve not invited you here.

Your time would be better spent persuading some john at your neighborhood 7-11 to cough up pennies to screw you from behind while you hide your beehive of a face.

Hee hee
