Weekend - 260408

We come to the rescue!

Whenever you feel bored having no other business to do online...

Whenever you feel lethargic after lunch and feel grumpy because you can't nap in your office..

Whenever you feel like having a laugh...

Whenever you feel like feeding on information, knowing what's going on in Brunei...

Whenever you feel like looking at pretty women or hunkie men...

Whenever, wherever....

As long as you have internet connection.

is here to keep you entertained!

=D

I'm so glad that I happen to be the only female because, I get to be WONDER WOMAN with that killer body wearing corset and panty all the time. You know lar, Brunei very hot...

p/s: The reason why Reeda is Superman is because... his head has the biggest surface area thus it needs to be put in the middle, so that it won't block our faces.

And BruneiFishing, I'm sorry.. I don't have your picture thus... I replaced it with a fish. Hope you don't mind.


Dear readers...
If you feel that I'd made a mistake in giving the role of super heroes to the bloggers, feel free to tell us what you think we should be.

Or, other than Wonder Woman.. what other role can I be...?

I do have some funny dialogs but then... I'm afraid their fans will find it offensive and throw rotten eggs at me when they see me.

Eh, salah MOUSE!

Short note:
Thanks for all those motivating words from you all. I felt really touched.
It is your guys and gals out there whom care and show me support and motivate me that keeps me moving on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I gave my students an exercise of drawing computer parts such as monitor, mouse, keyboard and so on.

And one of them gave me this answer...




Er....

I was stunt for a while because I had no idea to tick it or cross. As you can see, I crossed in the end. I was looking for a computer mouse with a long cable "tail" on roller balls or with red blaring eyes. Not the mouse that Maurina found in her staffroom.

Lucky she didn't draw me face of Mickey.

I will survive...

I couldn't help but break into tears when I asking Bobby why is it that every time I feel settle and happy thinking that I have everything in control.. something must come up and pull me down?

Why can't I live a life like most average girls? Having a happy healthy family with a super dad taking care of everything, then get a job with the help of daddy's social network. Have a boyfriend who pampers me with expensive meals and branded bags, and secretly put in cash into my wallet when he knows I'm broke... Then get married at the age of 21 just because and have the first baby at the age of 23.

If no money, just go back and ask from daddy again.

Sometimes I wish that I'm not that tough. Can I be that fragile and brainless bimbo who can avoid all responsibility and even reject to grow up? I wish that there's someone there who will jump out to the rescue every time I'm in trouble. Or maybe it is just God's way to test my ability by giving me never ending challenges.

I was just hoping that I can have more time to save enough so that I don't have to trouble anyone. Just a simple request like that also got rejected.

Of course, Bobby offered to help but I declined. Forgive me but, I'm pretty much used to being that independent lady and paying for my own meals and movie tickets. I'm still coping with the fact that my boyfriend had started working and I should not feel guilty if he's the one footing bills.

In another four months time, I will live the life again.
The one that I once dreaded.

Study by day and work my ass off by night. Feel sour when hearing classmates talking about allowance and salary whereas I have to think where to get the money to pay those freaking useless thick textbooks. Skipping lunch or tea invitations because I only have enough to buy fuel so that I can go to work. Being the odd one out again without laptop to use or all those "i" products... iPhone, iPod, iPoop, iPiss...

Well, look at the good side King. You can see Bobby more often now. Then if you're broke, you can go to Ye's office and eat lunch for free.. (If that's still available). Going for movie is way easier now and more options for lepak, if I have the extra money that is...

OWH! I was casual about the competition for the past week but now, I really wish I can win the first place. By winning, I can get those money I'm lacking now and own a laptop that I can used for blogging with cafe's wireless.

I got to be honest with you all. If I win, I will be keeping all the money to pay off the tuition fees. And even if I donate part of it, it's going to be between me and my Buddha. I need not announce to the whole world that what charity work I'm up to.

I'm sorry if this post bored you to death or offended you in any way.. but, I'm in a pretty foul mood and I need to get things off my chest.

Dear God,
please give me a sign.

Edit:
I had a long chat with my mum and she's my savior, both financially and mentally.
Mum says the nicest and sweetest things. I heart you mum.. even if you have no idea what blog is after me explaining the 15th time to you.

I'm convinced

Check out my current poll..



What diet plan? Chuck it aside and go grab chocolates and ice cream to increase the measurements of your "assets" now!

La la la la la la la~

Eh wait.
Just that, now my task is to find out those who voted are "Well-endowed" women trying to convince the whole world with fake market survey or skinny girls trying to make everyone else FAT!

Guys.... you prefer model-ish figures to show or chubby fats to grab?

Anyway, keep voting!
Both the poll and also for the blog of the year.

Bank Bag

Short Note:
Oh my... My competitors are all really trying hard to campaign for votes. Are you all (my dear friends and readers) worried for me? =) I don't know how to ask for more votes but I know what I can do is blog more and keep you all entertained.

Just keep voting! I need motivations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's lesson.
BANK BAG!

I'm pretty sure most of you have more than one bank account out there. One which you terima gaji. One to pay off your loans. One to save for the rainy days. And another joint account with your love ones.

Meaning, banyak bank book lah!

The thing is... the plastic bank bag that (some) banks give isn't very lasting. Just after few months, confirm koyak already. Or, I'm the only one who's not gentle enough to handle my bank bag with care?

Anyway, I made myself a bank bag using an used envelope wrapped with papers torn from fashion magazine. It looked pretty cool though.

Most people thought it was a picture of a naked lady at the first glance.
-_-"

As you can see, those are the ad pages.
Fiorucci and Tommy Hilfiger.



The thing is... because it's made of paper... after few months it became buruk again.

So I decided to make a new one again.
Using a different material this time.

Er.. Fake LV?

The above LV bag with koyak handle was a gift given to my mum from her lady boss. I think its a fake one yet the old woman told my mum it's real. Whatever. Real one got so lauyah and fragile meh?

My mum wanted to chuck it away but I kept it and told her I could use it and make something out of it.

So I cut open it...

5 layers!

.. and recycle the fabric.

You must have thought that "I want to make one also, but I don't know how to sew...".

Don't worry darlings, you need not know how to sew! You don't even need needles and threads for this project! All you need is an used envelope (again!) and super glue. Easy right?

I have this habit of keeping used envelopes... actually, I keep all papers and plastic bags just in case. I like to recycle them, thus creating less rubbish to lighten the burden of our dear Earth.

Just cut,

and glue 'em up!

Make sure you have enough fabric to cover up the ugly patches. And also glue it nicely having no crease at all.

- My finish product -

Now I'm thinking if I should add hook or button so that the bank book can be closed properly. But overall, I'm happy with the end result.

LV kali ah... Hahhahahaaa.




I hope it'll last longer than a year.

Happy Trying!

Now you can have your very own customized design bank book. Hello Kitty, skulls with cute ribbon or Gucci prints, your choice! You can even add some blings onto it.. which, I'm too lazy to glue one by one.

Awkward Moments

You know, sometimes its really inevitable to have awkward moments during my interactions with my little bosses... My students that is.

Just like last few days.

My students was busy preparing their PowerPoint slide shows and wanted to search for picture of a man walking. Note.. sideway angle.

So she requested for my help and I asked her to search it online using Google Images. She typed the keyword "man", and came out a lot of irrelevant pictures that she's not interested in. And the mindless me said to her, "Try having the keyword "sideway"...

Wrong move.

Sekali most of the pictures that popped up were, yes you guess right, obscenity! Naked men lying on the side showing their sideway...

"OMG!", quickly pressed alt + F4 and gave her an awkward smile.

"Wrong word.. Sorry."



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And the other one happened on the same day too.

I noticed one particular girl isn't quite popular in class and doesn't get along with the rest of the girls. So I asked her classmates,

Me: I noticed you all don't really interact much with her. What's wrong?

Student: Ntah ah Cher.... Ia macam lain waaa..

Me: As in?

Student: Abang ku panggil ia slut. Apakan "Slut" tu kan?

Me: Errrr..... Urmm.... It's just not a very nice word to be used on girls.

Student: Ia kah? Abangku panggil girlpren nya slut jua..

Me: o_O!!!


And now I'm wondering... how to answer my kids next time when they asked,

"Ma, where do babies come from?"

How would you answer that?

Indecisive... yet Manipulative

Woman: Hey, I'm going to tapao. What you want to eat?

Man: Urm.. Curry Rice.

Woman: WHY YOU ALWAYS EAT CURRY RICE?! Choose again! Bah, Fried MeeHoon lah!

Man: Laksa then.

Woman: LAKSA VERY HEATY!! Fried MeeHoon okay?

Man: Fried Kueh Tiaw then...

Woman: Har? Ok? Fried MeeHoon ah.

Man: Fried Kueh Tiaw, wet one.

Woman: Ba ba ba..... Wat-Tan-Hor then.

(Wat-Tan-Hor = Fried Wet Kueh Tiaw)

This particular conversation between my parents made me giggled so much in my room when I overheard them.

And when my mum walked in to my room, I teased her "Cheh.... You had already decided for him what should he eats, what for go ask him again? Just straight away tapao back and feed him lah. Fake democracy...".

Then she whined a little about old man's cholesterol level, high blood pressure yadda yadda yadda, took the keys and left the house.

While watching P.S. I love you, Holly had exposed the ultimate secret of women that is... we women have no freaking idea what we want!

. . . . . . . . . . *long pause*

And when Bobby watched that part, he immediately looked at me and from his eyes, I could see that he's demanding an answer from me hinting, "Is that true?".

I looked at him, and quickly looked away.

But I got to admit. It's true.
Most of the time, I have no idea what I want... I just need clues.

I remembered having Bobby picking me up from my work place and I felt famished.

"Where you wanna eat baby?", he asked.

"Ching-chai (anything) lah. You decide. I'm very hungry now... FAST FAST!"

"Bah, chicken rice?"

"Harrrrrr..... Don't want lah."

"Kolomee?"

*Frowned and starred at him...*

"Err... Jollibee?"

"Eeee... I don't wanna eat fastfood lah!"

"Excapade?"

"I just had it last week bor...."

".... Then where you wanna eat?"

"Urmm... I don't know also wor. You keep suggesting lah. I just ban until you mention one that I feel like going."

If I was him.. I think I'll strangle myself and yelled, "B*TCH! I THOUGHT YOU SAID LET ME DECIDE?! THEN NOW THIS DON'T WANT THAT DON'T WANT! WHAT YOU WANT KAN! MAKE UP YOUR FREAKING MIND NOW!"

Sometimes I even gave him a puzzle and asked him to guess where I feel like going. If he got the answer wrong, I'll be very mad and called him heartless for not paying attention to me...

o_O

Damn. I'm such a troublesome girlfriend eh.

But, that doesn't happened often lah.
Only once in a blue moon when I was in terrible mood.

I'm just wondering....
Does it happen to all woman out there?

Mothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives, daughters, cousins, nieces and aunties.. I bet you men had enough of us being indecisive, yet manipulative.

But, we're just not going to change our unique characteristic in a million years.

MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!

My Whitie - Nintendo DS Lite

As per requested by a silent reader.. who left a message in my tagboard saying,

chicwing blogger's reader:
i'd like to know more abt ur whitie and details of ur mission king possible.

Wish granted my dear.

I'm going to talk about my Whitie in this post, with very limited knowledge about gaming. For those hardcore gamers out there, forgive me if I make mistakes because... this is coming from a lady who doesn't even own even game console, no PS1, 2 or 3, no X-box, and not even those 80s Nintendo or Sega!!!

I had my first handheld game console when I was in Secondary 1. It was no impulse buying. I had long planned for it and kept urging my mum to get it for me. Of course, the answers were always NO! Bu-ke-yi. Tidak Boleh. Meh-Lei!

So.... I had to use my own angpao money.

Crap. I couldn't believe I was that crazy over that Gameboy. I walked all the way to Seria Plaza just to buy it okay! It was black in colour, so handsome... but freaking bulky! Used to those AA batteries like minum air like that. Crayon Shinchan was my best game, I could complete the whole thing without losing any life. Then it was Super Mario, cleared all stages too. Oh, such nostalgia.

There, that's my first and ONLY game console I bought.

How about my Whitie?

Hehehhee. It's my birthday gift actually. I was too shy to say it in my blog because, it was from a nice guy whom I have never meet in my life. He's my blog-reader turn blogmate then good friend. I know it sounds really corny, I mean.. who would have expected a few hundred dollars gift from someone who lives in another country and only know you through your blog!

Thank you Iwan.
(For those who has follow this blog long enough, you should know who he is. And oi, you said months ago that you'll reopen your blog one leh. Tipu one ah you?)

Enough of irrelevancy.
(Actually I'm waiting for the pictures to get upload in my photobucket now.. Thus this much of crap)




Introduce you to...

Hey, I drew eyelashes for it so you should by now know that she's a girl. I have this bad habit of giving genders to my stuffs. I think my Lumix FX8 is a hunkie boy, my car is girl by day and a brave young warrior by night. Crap. I'm sick.

And my card reader is a transgender.

I bought this sticker thingie to cover up my Whitie so that it won't get scratched but my stupid friends claimed that its very ugly. And said that I have this "Super Power" to make things uglier and buruk.

What ugly? I saw cute rabbits and teddy bears on it. It's suppose to be KAWAII okay!

It is agak-agak 13cm wide.

Agak-agak 7cm long.

And agak-agak 2cm thick.

There's two screens on it, the lower one is the touch screen and the upper one is just a normal LCD screen. It has this very nice backward compabality that allows you to play your old games from Gameboy Advance, just that only one screen will be used.

Then you have microphone in the middle, which always make me looks like a total moron blowing air to my DS while playing Cooking Mama, or calling out "Koopi - Koopi" when checking my pet dog in Nintendogs.

Don't ask me why all Chinese likes to call dogs "Koh-pi".
Its just.... an old habit hard to be shaken off started from our ancestors I guess?

Erm.. this is a bit embarrassing to say but.... I don't buy original game.
(Who does anyway? We're living in a country where pirated stuffs are all so accessible!)

I got myself a R4 flash cart, and another 1GB Micro SD card to download games into it.

The R4 cart costs about B$70+ and the microSD... I have no idea how much is it nowadays. Meaning, if you want a complete functional DS-Lite that can brings you entertainment, you have to prepare at least B$400 for everything.

B$278.00 for the game console.
The rest is for the game carts and accessories.

Note: Other than R4 cart, there's also tons of different sort of cartridges such as Linker and so on. You just got to do all this research yourself.

But, if you don't have any of those game carts, you can still chat with people using the PictoChat via wireless connection.

I have never try it out before. So I can't tell you if its fun or not drawing in the DS-Lite and send it to friends and/or strangers.

(The above screen only shows when you have no game Pak or Cart inserted into your Ds-Lite)

A huge thanks for my dear friend Sing Yin who taught me all this.

You can download games over at this website. And before that, if you have no idea what games to download, just check out this website and check out their reviews.

Oh oh! The original skins you get from the Moonshell is pretty ugly. But fear no more, you can make your own skins! Or, just download here or here if you're too lazy. Find out yourself how to do it. I'm not going to spoon feed you.

My Skin!

Yeah... It was a pretty old photo PS by yours truly but I still can't get over it. It's too chio to be forgotten. I mean, we're so model-ish and cool.

The warning is for my stupid friends,
in case they got over excited and poke pecah my touch screen.

Then you can tab on either one of these buttons (as above) to play game, listen to MP3 or read your ebook.

The first button is for "Games", second is for "Multimedia" and the third one..is Boot Slot.

Upon clicking "Games", this is what you get.

Games I play currently

Fifa08 was specially downloaded for the boyfriend. I know nothing about football. Who doesn't like Cooking Mama? Super Mario is everyone's favorite. Sort of finished "Pokemon Diamond" already and recently I'm crazy over "Professor Layton and the Curious Village".

I like boring games like Mahjong. It just keeps me occupied all the time. I gave up on "Harvest Moon" because its just too repetitive.

Moving on to the "Multimedia" tab

This is where you play your mp3(s), see your photos and read your ebooks... which I seldom touch.

Okay, I guess that's about it. If you need to know more about Nintendo DS-Lite, go google or wiki yourself!

I don't know if I'd left anything out, but if you have some other games to recommend or tips, just drop me a comment or message.

Adios!

And I'll blog daily from now on...

...till whenever I feel totally brain-drain or lose my mind.

I put up a poll in my sidebar asking my readers if they prefer me to blog daily, once everyday two days or whenever I feel like blogging. And more than half clicked "Daily"!

So here, in order to get more votes and readers... (sniffs! My daily hit is only 20% of what Reeda gets...So kasian can die), from now on.. I will blog DAILY!

Unlike Rano and Reeda who always got invited to events, I'm definitely going to get bloggers-block and run out of things to write.

In order to help me fellows, please kindly drop me an email or leave message in my comment box or tagboard or wherever I'll happen to read and tell me what will you like me to blog about.

Should it be where I download games for my Whitie (Nintendo DS-Lite), when was my first kiss, how I get rid of my armpit or nose hairs, and... I can even have a Dear Thelma column!

Just let me know what you guys out there want to know, or wish to know, or had already known and just wanna double confirm.

Else.. I'll probably just leave a line saying,

"Today is Wednesday. It is raining now. I have to collect my clothes in now. Goodbye."

or,

"I had fries and sausages for breakfast, chicken wings and rice for lunch and I'm now thinking what to eat for dinner..."

Okie, I guess that's it?
I'd blogged today and expect updates again tomorrow.
Keep the comments coming in and also your VOTES too!

Use your mobile phone, laptop, your sister's or brothers, or cousins, uncles and aunties, just whatever that can be used to vote for me lah.

I'm not trying to be greedy, I just want to be in the top 3. Can ah?
My camera is getting old, it'll be good if I can get a brand new camera (even though its not a DSLR) and I promise, I'll upload photo in every single entry!

The Finalists with Kristal FM

Short Note:
Gosh! Everyone (I mean all the other nominees) has already start campaigning for the Blog of the Year and I'm still munching and channel surfing. Better start do something now...


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm terribly sorry Brunei Fishing. I just realized that I'd missed you out in the above poster (or whatever you like to call it). Forgive me?

Here are the finalists

* Nonnie King - Best Personal Blog
* Kurapak - Best Local Scene
* Anak Brunei - Best Photo Blog
* Brunei Fishing - Best Lifestyle Blog
* Arab-families - Best Specialty Blog
* Ranoadidas - Wildcard entry

So,

Did you hear us on the radio yesterday?

If you didn't... I'm sorry, its definitely your lost. *kekekkekekkee*

All the top 6 nominees for Blog of The Year were invited to the Jenny M show but only 5 of us turned up. BruneiFishing was probably busy fishing in the sea. Any catch guys?

It was definitely one of a kind experience for me going on air live with the celebrity bloggers interviewed by Jenny M. Like what Hafiz said to me in MSN justnow, "I have never thought that you'll go so far with your blog."

Me neither.

When I first started blogging, I even had to bug my friends to read my blog. And my daily hit never exceeds more than 10, and half of them was contributed by yours truly. Pathetic huh?

So for you peeps who just started blogging, don't give up! Your blog will get noticed one day as long as you keep updating and not just leave a line saying that you're on HIATUS and let your blog rot. Of course, your blog contents matter too.

I sat between the two big shots, Rano and Reeds, and I definitely felt threatened. Hahhahaha.

Oh by the way, if you're new to my blog.. I repeat again.

Please remember that my blog URL,

K-I-S-I-C-H

derived from my name. KI-ng SI-aw CH-in. Ignored what Reeda said on air claiming that it means CHICKEN WING!





Can you imagine?
My tag line will be - Spiritual Garden. Ain't no thing but a Chicken Wing!

If you're a Foochow, you probably will thought so too. Because in Foochow, chicken wing sounds like keeaa-sik.

Don't ask me how to read my blog url.. I'll probably just layan you and say its "kee-seech".

The interview went on smoothly. I thought I'll get really nervous but most of the time, I was either paying attention to what they're saying, checking out the number of buttons on the control panel, and looking at the scenery outside. Seriously, I'll die for an office like that. High on the hill and by the sea. Good fengshui!

The show was filled with lots of laughters because these peoples are all natural born comedians! And my colleague who happened to tune in that time said all she heard was me laughing at the background. My signature laughter with manly voice.

And I can't even remember why was I laughing like that..

The Mafias and the little girl in between, checking out the earphone.

I could even hear shutter clicking everytime Marul took pictures in the studio!

There was a monitor facing us so that we could check out the studio webcam and the live chatroom. Most of the time, people were asking who is the guy sitting beside Jenny. If you still have no idea until now, he's Azmi. He's the one who contacted us for the interview, also the one who called us up to pick our prizes.

Azmi & Jen

I can't help but think, do all DST staffs look so stunning? I mean, check out Jenny and Azmi!

And there was DJ Tina too, who was really nice and greeted me with a warm fuzzy smile when I stepped in the studio.

Of course, that includes you Marul too!
In my eyes, you're equally stunning.

Okay, my bad for snapping your picture when you're "concentrating" on your shots.


Group photo before we head for lunch

Walking over to the canteen

Told you that I use backpack to work instead of every teachers' favorite Guess bag. Do you believe me now? That's my usual working attire. Baju kurung, backpack and a pony tail. So casual that you'll definitely miss me out in a crowd. I was never the center of attraction.

It was really nice of Mr. Shaikh Khalid to bring us lunch all the way from KB.

Nasi Talam

The lunch would be perfect if the canteen can be 5 degree Celsius cooler. Again, all of us sat around the table and talked about blogs, hate comments and spams. Its really sad to see that there's a lot (jobless) people who tends to use our blogs as a platform to release their angers or complains, saying names and giving us hate comments/ mails just because.

Can you believe that even a harmless site like Kurapak's get hate comments too? What is wrong with those people? (And Rano said Alin called him late night and cried about it. Hahhahaha! Of course, he's just kidding)

After lunch, we headed back to the studio. Not for another interview session, but to sabotage the second group's interview. Hehehehe. We have no life.

The room we monkeyed around.

As you can see, that's the room we played with the instruments and posed like rock stars.

This, is Rano's idea

lining up according to our height.

Jenny interviewing Mr. Khalid and Alin

Mr. Khalid added in another B$500 cash and Jenny asked all of us what are we going to sponsor. Alin said B$100 and a t-shirt, Rano andang sponsoring B$300.00 cash and a t-shirt. Then when Reeda was asked, he said "VW Toureg would be fun".

Car model got lah.

And when Jenny asked me, I answered, "Well... I guess I can make a card?" and the instant reply I got was, "Not interested".

Sad lah. I know its worthless but I really have no spare cash to spend. I told the guys the real reason behind my Mission King-Possible during lunch and Rano shouted in despair, "Oh no! If Nonnie's gonna say it, then everybody will be voting for her!"

I wish I can Rano. I wish I can.

I remembered when Jenny asked me "Any last words before you go Nonnie?". Without a second thought, I answered...

"I NEED MONEY! VOTE FOR ME!"

There you go. Nonnie, straight forward and blunt as usual. You just ain't gonna hear nice sweet sentences from me with big vocabs because this is me.

Anyway to conclude this post, I'm going to campaign a little.

Reeda said if he win Blog of the Year, he'll give me his old laptop... provided I managed to grad it from his daughters. I had sold hundreds, maybe even thousands of laptops but I don't even own one myself. Sad or not?

Alin said if I give him some votes and he win Blog of the Year, he'll give me some cash.
*cough* Back door deal yo! *cough*

Rano, Mr. Khalid and BruneiFishing didn't offer me anything pun.

By the way, Alin also said that if he won the award, he's going to change his look to John Lennon-ish. If you can't imagine how he'll look like, here... I give you a hand.

Don't vote for Kurapak! Else he'll look like this!

Alin... Don't lah. Your current look with that "dan" very nice already. Don't change lah. You sure you want to wear those round glasses kah?

p/s: If you win the award, let me pluck one strand of your "dan" !

Final group picture

As for now, I'm going to make myself a banner asking for votes too. Those guys acted real fast and super kiasu lah.

I cannot lose too.

VOTE FOR ME NOW!!!
