transformers

the 2 movies that i was anticipating this year were 300 and transformers. now that 300 is over and transformers is just days away, i feel like there's nothing else to look forward to.

anyway...michael bay better do it right. i hope he knows that it is imperative that he gets it right. if he doesn't...every 80's baby will be anti michael bay.

was out having drinks with my two favourite men today whom i've known for about 10 years now. we were talking about change and how we've evolved over the years. maybe its because we're more mature now and we're all busy making like ants but we still make time to see each other and talk nonsense. i wasn't a very good person in the past. i was judgemental (which i still am but now i keep it to myself)....i was bitchy and i was brutal. those who can take the brutality and the honesty have stayed on to become my close friends. then there's the rest who were driven away by me. and for what its worth (i know its probably too late now)....i'm sorry. in hindsight...it wasn't a very nice thing for me to do. i might have spoke without taking people's feelings into consideration....i might have avoided you if you had blonde hair and brown skin....i might have laughed at you if you didn't speak english....i might have had little respect for you...and for all that...i'm sorry :)

that was me a long time ago and although i'd like to say i've changed....people tell me i haven't. i'm still the same honest and straight forward person who gives you the brutal truth without sugar coating it. i still judge and i still have a low regard for certain individuals. but don't be intimidated by me. i am just one person.

its amazing that i still have friends :P

five point f*cking three

diabetes has been known as the silent killer. it runs in the family so there's always this fear that i'll get it someday. but i don't let the fear control me so i continue eating the foods that are yummy and i continue drinking the drinks that are sinfully sweet and i continue to eat sweets and chocolates because they make me happy. i do however have a do-it-yourself kit to check my glucose level. unfortunately i don't use it very often. but every once in awhile i find myself wondering whether there's been any change. have i done anything to trigger the deadly disease to plague my system? chances are i have but why is it everytime i take the test i'm still safe?

anyway...bottom line...i took the test today. i find myself holding my breath everytime the little machine is processing the results. there's a little hourglass that keeps rotating...which is quite irritating. thankfully its not some smiley face bouncing around cause that would really piss me off. so i prick myself with a needle and carefully transfer the blood onto this little stick that i insert into the handheld machine. then i wait...and luckily for me...its a 5.3.

would it be absolutely wrong for me to wonder why i'm not diabetic yet when i should be by now and not do anything about it? and would it be worse if i say i don't really care?

i love my grill

i haven't ate mcdonalds in the past week and a half which is quite an amazing achievement for me. it all started with the george foreman grill so instead of heading out to buy mcdonalds, i grill ramly burgers. if this continues i'll be one of those hermits who never go out. who needs to leave the house when i have the internet, my phone and my george foreman grill.

so my dad has been sick for about 2 weeks now. he hasn't been himself since he had 3 seizures in 2 hours. its been a difficult 2 weeks but i'm hoping he'll get better and return to his normal self. i miss my conversations with my dad.

Countdown: 8

everyone has been asking me...what's the countdown for? previously i had a countdown for soccer season but since its over why am i still counting down?

well...it might be a big shock to some but i am attempting to cut down on the nicotine....and hopefully quit smoking someday. in an effort to support my dads quest's to quit smoking i have taken on this challenge.

but why a countdown? well...i recently bought 2 cartons of dunhill reds and i'm not about to waste it. i have 8 packs left at this moment and after the 8 packs are gone i will begin the challenge.

why not just start now? well...i guess i could but i'm kinda preparing myself mentally. smokers will tell you that it's impossible....non-smokers will tell you its will power. i will say that it is a desire. if i desire to stop smoking...i probably will. right now...its not a desire which explains my lack of urgency in the matter. i just don't want to be smoking in front of a man who went cold turkey after smoking 60 sticks a day for the past 40 years.

fat reducing?

the lean mean fat reducing george foreman grilling machine. its god's gift to people who can't cook. little did i know...my mom has one. since then its been home made ramly burgers for supper. i don't exactly need the "fat-reducing" function but i'm not complaining. just slap the burgers onto the grill and close the lid. its awesome. time to run out and buy more burgers to cook.

how far can i go?

i realized that it doesn't take much to get away with anything these days. all it takes is a smile...a laugh...and a simple hello.

was at mcdonalds earlier and i ordered a breakfast set which costs about 10 bucks. so as i was waiting for the hash browns to cook i got into a conversation with the very nice young man behind the drive thru window. he asked me why i was up so late and a 5 minute conversation ensued. eventually...my hash browns were done and as i took out money to pay for my breakfast...he quickly said that it was on the house. on mcdonalds house that is. such power these people at mcdonalds have. they can give out free meals to whomever they please.

on a different occasion...i was passing through the damansara tol and i only had a 50 note on me. i drove up to the counter...smiled at the guy and apologized for my lack of small change. he looked at me...smiled and said that i could just go through.

sometimes i wonder whether women can really get away with murder. the batting of the eyelashes...the smirk...the power of the eyes. i'm no charlize theron (which in my opinion is the epitome of beauty) so i think its in the simple things. the smile...the warm greetings...the appreciation. not saying that we should always be warm and fuzzy but it does have its benefits. goes to show that you don't have to be a hot chick to jump over hoops. maybe i should dig a little deeper and see what else i can get away with.

here's the next 2 instalments to the Ling family.

this is Cornelia Ling. Once again...a rather off choice for a name. she's not a typical girly girl like her big sister. more of a tomboy but that's what you get growing up wih 3 brothers.

this big thing here is George Ling. he's 10 and already he's heavier than his big sister (which by the way is me). he's in training to be the best DONKEY player in town.

and just because he's so cute...here's another one of Troy drinking my pepsi twist.

W.S.O.D

its time for me to get a new phone. i keep getting the white screen of death...which is probably nokia's version of the blue screen of death.

the kids are in town for a couple of days. here's a pic of 2 of the younger ling's.

this little thing is better known as Troy Ling. my dad probably comes up with the funniest names. Troy? such a macho name for someone so erm....cute?

this one is known as Mark Ling. the fella lost a whole chunk of his teeth recently. so cute. and he's learning how to shuffle cards at the age of 7. training him to be a gambler like his sister :P

here are some other funny pictures just for the fun of it.
