About Illness

I have realised that as you grow older, illness hits you harder. Have been down with a cold for the past 6 days. This has not been a pleasant experience. I think it was the dinner on Monday with Ali and Qing Jia that did me in:

Milo Dinosaur, Sambal Stingray, Indian Rojak, Indian Mee Goreng and Chocolate Ice Cream Prata.

Not the healthiest choice for dinner.

So I've finally decided to blog cause I can't do anything else. Reading makes me giddy and watching television gives me a headache; I feel ill all day so forget about shopping. The constant nose-blowing does not help either. I rue to think the torture my delicate nose is going under. It's all red and sore. I hope this will not be permanent. Coughing isn't the nicest experience but I've always thought that being ill with the cough is highly romantic; it's like consumption in books and various movies.

Nevertheless, I find that illness is an excellent way to lose weight. For one you haven't much appetite and if you do eat you basically sustain yourself on things like porridge and vegetables. Very little oil and meat. I swear, illness is more effective than all the wretched jogging I've been doing. Although I think illness would help more if I stopped taking Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Brownie Fudge... but then that's about the only thing which is easy to prepare and non-greasy about in the house.


About Hong Kong

So recently I went to Hong Kong. Sodding fun place. Shopped non-stop and bought many things and was very happy. Excellent trip that one, really must go back one day. But then I also had excellent company; I did my best to amuse myself. Anyways, rather than write you all an account I'll show you all pictures instead. If you visit Ali's or Qing Jia's blog, you'll find nice posts, complete with pictures, on our vacation. Wei Zhi was also there, only she doesn't have a blog but interested people can message me for her number and I'm sure she'll give you all a specific run down.


About Mahjong

Many fun mahjong parties recently as well. Two of them in fact, the first one hosted by me and the second one by Qing Jia. Once again, all those interested please visit Ali's or Qing Jia's blog, and look through the June Archives. The first party was themed "Dumpling Day" and we all had to dress up like dumplings - I was best-dressed but couldn't win cause no good hostess wins her own prize so Wei Zhi won instead.

The second was themed "Hawaiian Day", hosted by Qing Jia, and we had to dress to a Hawaiian theme. Once again I was best-dressed but success breeds envy and the other three plotted to have usurp me from my rightful throne so Ali won instead. So nasty those people. My costume represented the Sun, Sand and Sea and my sandals even had the word "Hawaii" on them so I rightfully should have won since I had both the costume and symbolism!

Plus my Hawaiian dance (oooh it was GOOD!!) was the best out of all the contestants.

Once again... Success breeds Envy!!!


About Penang

Oh oh these hols have been an excellent hols. Went to Penang as well. Charming, rustic city!! Bought 15 DVDs at amazingly low prizes!! Should have bought more. Must go back some day.
Took plenty of photos, but no blog to link to. Hmm. Well, if you're really interested, you can all ask me to show you the pictures. Must go back someday too.

I love shopping! Ok, au revoir for now - till we meet again!
