I have been posting up the status updates in my Facebook daily post lunch and last week was full of sleep inducing lunches and dinners.

Tuesday - colleagues ordered nasi lemak

Wednesday - KFC

Thursday - Carl's Jr

Friday - colleagues ordered chicken briyani

Saturday - Q-ed up for 1.5hr for 3 scoops of exclusive ice cream at Ben & Jerry's Chunk Fest at Fort Canning Green, good live bands too. Bumped into former colleague from Creative Technology,Faezah there.

Sunday - spent whole day at my darling Mr GT's grandma place. Trooped down to City Sq for Baskin Robbins ice creams. 3 freaking huge scoops for RM22, so worth it. Then of coz traditional dishes for eve of Hari Raya Haji

Monday - spent it with parents since I wasn't here during Hari Raya Puasa. More food! Managed to go watch Wild Child. Now stuck with the phrase "Who are we??" (in that preppy British school girl voice).still wondering what would happen to me if my parents did send me to Cheltenham Ladies College to do 'A' levels back then. I wouldn't have met Mr GT if I was there.

Sent the 1st brother off to the airport for his holiday to Brisbane. Now I have the use of his H. Civic for a week, whoopee! Since Mr GT is on 2 weeks leave, he'd be my personal chauffeur too.

I would have been able to go Brisbane if not for the new job.

Eurgh, im having bad cramps. I hate that time of the month!

The nonsensical title is due to me trying to detox from the post effect of Raya open house last weekend. I've yet to upload the pix so no pix yet.

I've got my cousin's wedding coming up this weekend, that means more food! Haiz, after that I am so going to pay back my fast.

So last weekend, troop down to Abg Sarip KP place, yes I can never shake off that Kelana Purba part, I will always know him as such. Before that Mr GT and I were at Sengkang to drop by Cedar babe, Azlin's crib. Wow, how her daughter has grown...I think the next time I see her, she'd be walking already. =)

At Sarip's place it was dark hence we abandoned the bike there and troop into the car to Sengkang (again!) to Hashrin & Shilah's place where they were having Raya open house cum Aqil's 1st birthday bash. Loads of people and screaming kids. I was so afraid that the kids are going to climb onto the chairs and accidentally jump off since it was on a really high floor. Thereafter the 6 of us trooped down to Jalan Membina to Shahrul & Elyn's place for their Open House. Mr GT can't get over how Elyn and I squeal and giggled whenever we meet. Deal with it, hun.

Bump into Miss Citra there..and when we were going back, Miss Citra was so khusyuk habis tengok TV that she didn't realise I was there! Ish ish ish. ahakz.
It was so funny at Elyn's place, there was this boy who was the insurance agent's son or something and he refused to go back and sat with us in the room when his mum called him.

And the mum thought he was smitten by me and told him "Sorry lah boy, kakak ni dah kene chope dengan abang ni. Kalau tak pun u kene tunggu lagi 20+ years." Kwang kwang kwang. And dear Elyn will be due next Jan, whee, can't wait!

I managed to drop by my primary school Cikgu's place at Tampines after going back to pick up the bike (takkan nak abandon it right) to meet Ayu's so adorably handsome son, Aniq Idraki. Such a hyper boy he is, taking out all of his toys for me and saddling up when I was talking to his parents. Hehe, so cute!!

And boy, Ayu, your son is really heavy! Heh, I underestimated it when I carried him, but he's a real trooper. Can't wait for your next one to arrive next Feb!

See, I like kids, when they are other people's kids. I like entertaining them and I especially like well-behaved ones. BUT, I don't think I can deal with one 24/7, I will go crazy seriously.

I remember when my mum took care of my cousin's sons when they were still babies, oh my god, I couldn't even study and feel like strangling the kids. To think of it, they dropped by the other day, and as usual they will spill or break something at my house. I suggest to my parents, they should serve only unbreakable ware whenever these kids come. Thank god, once a year!

I wonder if my maternal instinct will ever kick in, but not for now thank you very much. I am still in my selfish nature to even think of kids or even marriage for that matter. It's all about me me me now. *grins*

PS: To Yuyu babe, I just added on 2 pairs of Mary Janes to my shoe collection.hehe.

Yay, people I am back. Gosh, it is so bloody hot here. The weekend was the first time I sweat in a week, seriously. The supposedly spring weather in Perth was cold, it feels like being in air-conditioned environment 24/7, plus wind. You can have the sun shining above you, but the wind just makes you freeze up, my fingers and toes turned purple countless times. Eeks!

Where all the other Aussie states were having 23++ degrees Celsius in weather, Perth was having between 13 to 19 degrees every day with the occasional showers which barely lasted 3 minutes each time, it feels more like snow. Very tiring to open up the umbrellas then closing it less than 3 minutes like a game or something.

But surprisingly, I didn't even feel asthmatic, the air was really good compared to Singapore. I got to fulfill my wish of getting upclose with Kangaroo Jack (several of them in fact), koalas and goats/sheeps and god knows whatever animals at Caversham Wildlife Park where we spent 1st day of Raya!! Yes, I know, raya with the animals. But it was so fun since we rented an MPV for a day and Mr Gt was driving and me trusted with reading the maps and giving him the directions to turn right, left or stay on the freeway (who says girls can't read maps!). I was rather pleased we got to both Whiteman Park where the wildlife park is and then along the coastline to Fremantle for their famous fish n chips. Whee, I didn't get us lost! I was kinda though I am known as a street directory but still the map was rather complex, 3 different maps for different areas. The rest of Mr GT's family was asleep so both Mr GT and I were the ones awake obviously.

Anyway pix are found at the album I just put up. As soon as we touched down, the bestie and her bf fetched us and off to my place for Raya and off to her place the next day for Raya and sending them off to Melbourne. Next day, was at the airport again to fetch Mr GT's family back and yesterday was his aunt's open house and his grandma was hospitalised, must be due to all the walking we did. What a whirlwind weekend, I am damn tired!!!
