My Last Post...in this blog

2005-12-21T23:04:00.000+08:00

I'm very sad today. This is my last published post at http://che-cheh.blogspot.com/. I've come a long way since Nov 2004 and in a way I've grown up just by blogging.

Ok, I have one BIG HAPPY NEWS, though. I am the owner of an independence blog/site named Che-Cheh @ http://che-cheh.com/. Che-Cheh has become my trademark and I wanna stick to this name. Moreover this name is very dear to me because Che-Cheh is the nickname of my beloved dog, Chester :)

Thanks to Bryan aka http://www.sapiensbryan.com/ for helping me setting up and hosting my new place. Cheers to you.

Come, I welcome you to my new blog.

I'm Angry

2005-12-21T12:56:00.000+08:00

Your Inner Child Is Angry

You're not an angry person.
But when you don't get your way, watch out.
Like a very manipulative kid, you will get what you want.
Even if it takes a little kicking and screaming.

How Is Your Inner Child?

Wah so true lah. Really really true lah. So now you know what I'm like. :DDD

Actually I act as a child when I'm with my family only lah. Don't worry.

Tick Is Everywhere

2005-12-21T09:42:00.000+08:00

The other day I found one at my mom's leg, another one sucking my blood near my wrist(found this bloody tick at my office; see how far the tick travelled) and another one at my sis's leg and ear. Guess what it is ?

TiCk TIck tIcK
Tick season is here.
Tick aka kutu!

Pity Chester. He didn't know what has invaded his fur and skin. When I was looking for the tick and crushing it, he was smiling contently and looking at my hands with wonder.

As of yesterday after 2 days of tick annihilation exercise, I have killed about 35 ticks(near his ears, his head, his armpit and his neck; tick like to reside at warm area). Yes alot man! And while doing that I feel like a monkey's mother. LOL

I'm gonna carry on the extermination exercise until no more tick can be found. I don't like applying tick control 'poison' on Chester's fur. I like crushing em and feel the tingling sensation at my skin and hair after that. Yes I'm GROSS!!!

Christmas Tag

2005-12-19T21:34:00.000+08:00

I've been tagged by Alex Allied. Nice try. I want my Santa to be this guy below...Matt Damon. Ahhhhhhh...

I wish to get a date with him aka Mr Santa this coming Christmas. Please meet me at Singapore train station but please don't bring Mrs Santa(aka Mrs Damon). We'll have dim sum at Chinatown, lunch at the ohh yummylicious kaya bread near Bugis street, a stroll in the National Science Center savouring the Star Wars exhibition and dinner at the 24-hours Food Court near Bayview hotel. Ohhh what a date. Remember to bring a box of chocolate though.

I won't tag anyone. Ahem...being a nice girl eh.

To Singapore This Christmas

2005-12-19T08:19:00.000+08:00

We just made a very blunt move yesterday. After morning's dim sum and shopping for dog food we proceed to KL Sentral.

Guess what ? We bought train tickets to Singapore on Christmas Eve and will arrive at Singapore on Christmas morning. Then we'll go to have our dim sum, a little shopping and to our main event, Star Wars Exhibition at Singapore Science Centre. Cool man!

We will depart from Singapore on Christmas night and reach KL Central on Boxing Day. Meaning we will sleep 2 nights in the train on the seat!!! Ouch!!! My family said the bunker sure dirty one. We thought of taking the coach but we figured travelling by train is more wise because of the long queue at the immigrant counter if we travel by coach.

Another good news! We might book AirAsia plane tickets to Macau(before 28th December-free tickets hehehe...not kiasu lah but Free wor, who don't one right?) and from there travel to Hong Kong by ferry. Imagine how much we will save if compared to travel by AirAsia to Macau and MAS to Hong Kong. Looks like my HK plan next year is still on. Yipee du dah.

BONUSSSSS!!!

2005-12-17T09:30:00.000+08:00

Aiyooo I'm at work right now on a Saturday raining morning(only this Sat though. There will be many working Saturday on Jan and Feb). Yawnnnn! Arggghhh! I need to answer a 'BIG' nature call but I'm going to 'tahan'/wait.

Ohh yeah, we got our bonus today. Actually the money is in our account already just that we haven't get the official 'bonus slip' yet. I can't sleep last night. Just a little....hehehe I guess bonus is the cause.

So am I happy ? Quite happy. Finally our GM distributed our bonus slip to us. Wooooo.....I think I can pay all my 'hutang' credit card and still have some extra for me to save.

I'm going to plan my bonus money well this time. So do you think I should indulge myself with an F1 ticket ? RM100-RM400 tickets ? or I better keep the money ?

Kung Fu Hustle

2005-12-16T09:25:00.000+08:00

I finally get to watch Kung Fu Hustle at AXN yesterday. What a lousy, mou lei tau, scriptless film. I rate this movie 2/10. Luckily I didn't watch this movie at the cinema last time. Or else I'll be very disappointed. Anyone is a fan of this movie ? Please tell me why you like this movie so very much.

Don't get me wrong ya because I'm a fan of Stephan Chow Sing Chi. I've been following his work since his heyday at TVB. But this film...ahhh it's just not him.

FYI, Kung Fu Hustle was nominated for Best Foreign Film for next year's Golden Globe Award :)

The Linz Won USD1 Million!!!

2005-12-15T07:50:00.000+08:00

Wohooooooooooo I'm so proud of the Linz siblings(Nick 24, Alex 22, Megan 21 and Tommy 19 from Cincinnati). Congratulation to the Linzes!!! Did ya see their happy faces ? My my...they truly are a worthy 'Amazing Race: Family Edition' winner.

They've played their games fairly, intelligently, with good sense of humour and most importantly they are good people. Did you see the way they talk ? I'm proud of their parents for bringing them up to be a bunch of good lads.

A good 2nd place finished for the Bransen family. Congratulation!!! And I just realised that this 3 sisters never 'fight' - as seen in TV.

I was gunning for Gaghan, Aiello, Bransen and Linz family from Day 1. Good choice, girl (give myself a pack on the back). And who could forget the Paolo family eh. They were fighting along their way to elimination.

Hey serve the Weaver right!!! Don't you think so ? I only like Rolly Weaver. The rest ? Linda(mom), Rachel(daughter) and Rebecca(daughter) is an example of one big 'evil' family. I've finally figured out why they are so ruthless. Actually it was Linda's attitude toward the others that drives her 2 daughters follow suit. Children will follow their parents footsteps. Well, most of them lah. I see that whatever Linda do, her 2 daughters will follow. For eg. when Linda 'took a nap' at the Stade Olympique her 2 daughters just gave up. When Linda 'talk bad' about others, her 2 daughters also 'talk bad' about others. And during the conversation with their taxi driver, Ted at Montreal...ohmygod they were like 'smooching' him till death do us part.

Do read about all the happenings at Amazing Race 8. FYI, the winner of AR8 leaked out in a gaming syndicate for the second time now before the last epi was showed in TV. Too bad eh. Amazing Race 9 is coming soon at the end of February. Cool Baby!!!

A very tense moment! A good thing they know their geography!

Boooooo...the Weaver

The lLovely Bransen family.

Yipeee...Wohooo

Official AR8 Winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing Race 8: And The Winner Is...

2005-12-14T10:13:00.000+08:00

Today's Amazing Race 8: Family Edition 2 hours season Finale will showcase 3 families: Linz, Bransen and Weaver.

I've been gunning for Linz family throughout the race and I bet ya they will win the first AR: Family Edition title. My second choice would be Bransen but who will be suprise if Weaver win because they too have been very stable throughout the race. Not stable in the right mind and yield though but stable in term of tackling detours and road blocks and finding the right way to Phil.

Enough say...just watch

Walau Eh, ManUtd

2005-12-12T18:43:00.000+08:00

ManUtd 1 - 1 Everton

Aiyoo yo...pressure is growing fast in ManUtd camp. They have like 20 plus shots on and off target but only Giggs' managed to strike one in. Talk about Giggs, he played yesterday's game like the good old ManUtd player, inspired and creating lots of chances.

Giggs, Scholes, Rooney they all played well in the first half but they only managed 1 goal. I watched the second half towards the end only because I was watching 'American Next Top Model' (hehehehe) and the way they play in the second half is like they are lost again. Rooney missing alot of chances. What happened ???

Neville and Neville

They better buckle up in this week's mid week game against Wigan. If not I think Fergie will be looking at the chopping board much sooner than he thinks.

Thinking of Getting A Domain Name

2005-12-10T20:44:00.000+08:00

Hey, I'm thinking...I'm serious about blogging and what if I get a domain name for myself ? I don't want all the stuff that I've blog so far and in the future to be lost forever. So I think it's time. But first I have to know which site offers this kind of service.

Anyone can help me out there like for eg. where can I buy a domain name, who have blog about 'how to get a domain name', pros and cons on getting a domain name, etc....HELP!!!

2006 World Cup Draw

2005-12-10T12:00:00.000+08:00

Did anyone of you watch the 2006 World Cup Draw at TV1 ? Me ? Nope, I missed it. But hor, I dreamt about this draw over and over again at that very night when the official draw ceremony was helded in Leipzig, Germany(where else). What a nightmare!!!

I dreamt that England is in the 'Group Of Death' with Argentina yet again. Then I twiss myself to the other side of the bed and dream about it again and again and again until I wake up at about 9am+ this faithful Saturday morning. LOL

Anyway forget about my hilarious dream please. I'm like 50% support England only because I recognize England's players more than other country's players because I watch EPL ONLY. Hahahaha...and I wanted them to win 2006 World Cup just because I know them. But I also know that they won't win the 2006 World Cup because they lack stuffs that Brazil, Argentina and other country's possess(which I don't know what, LOL). So what if you invented the football.

Here's the 2006 World Cup Draw List; brought to you by soccernet.com
Remember to click at the picture for a bigger view. ;)

WOW WOW WOW

What do I think about the draw ? I think it is splendid, dear.

Group A - Germany will be the winner of Group A
Group B - Sweden and England will excel
Group C - Argentina and Netherlands will kill Ivory Coast and Serbia & Montenegro at 1 shot
Group D - Portugal and Iran will be going to round sixteen
Group E - Italy and Czech Republic will excel
Group F - Brazil will win comfortably but who will be the 2nd group to qualify ?Perhaps Australia(under Gus Hiddink's brilliance) ?
Group G - France and South Korea(?)
Group H - Spain and.....Ukraine(?)

Let's see how many of my 'guessing'sss are correct. *wink wink

p/s: Can you feel it ??????? I'm getting World Cup Fever again. Are you getting one as well ?

Believe It Or Not

ManUtd's Fallen Dream

2005-12-08T19:41:00.000+08:00

This morning's game:- Benfica 2 - 1 ManUtd

Sob sob sob sob...eh actually I'm not that sad seeing ManUtd's European dream crushed by Benfica this morning. Their European form suck so much this year so it's better if they can concentrate on their league game.

No i'm not saying this because they were out of UCL. I really think they have a pretty good chance to be this year's EPL champion. Although they need some "contribution" from Chelsea, though.

Will Fergie get sacked ? I don't think so.
ManUtd have 2 important games this week. They will meet with Everton and Wigan. Good Luck.

p/s: I'm sick...with flu, fever and cough...:(

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

2005-12-08T19:25:00.000+08:00

Your Blog Should Be Blue

Your blog is a peaceful, calming force in the blogosphere.

You tend to avoid conflict - you're more likely to share than rant.

From your social causes to cute pet photos, your life is a (mostly) open book.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

Found this quiz from Jeremy C's blog.

Guess what ? My blog is blue and I love blue!

Shake Your Bon-Bon

2005-12-07T12:30:00.000+08:00

I use 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' term when I want Chester to wiggle his body so that he can dry up quickly after his weekly bath. I've been using this term since he was with us at 5 weeks old. Now at 2 years and 1 month old, he still CAN'T understand this term!!! So heart-broken man! Even when he himself wiggle his body I will phrase out this term 'Wah, Chester shake your bon-bon hor good boy!' BUT he won't do it when I told him to.

Not until 1 day I caught him doing it after I told him to. Grrrrrrr looks like he understand 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' after all but are too lazy to do it. 2 weeks ago I try to seduced him with his favourite bath towel. I show him the towel and I said 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' and he did it just once.

Last Sunday after his bath, again I used his favourite towel to seduced him. BINGO baby!!! He did it as many times as I told him to. I think he knows that his secret is out lah because the first time when I caught him doing the wiggle thing after I told him to, I saw his face like saying 'Oh ohhhh shit! secret is out! my master knows that I understand her. From this day on I will have to perform 'Shake Your Bon-Bon' to her....ohhh godddd!!'.

Ha? I don't know what you mean!

I'm so proud of you Chester!

I can sleep more comfortably now that I know Chester has mastered yet another cool trick(not cool lah every dog also knows how to wiggle but Chester knows how to wiggle when I ask him to...now this is cool). Perasaanya saya...Now if only Chester can yawn more often.

The Worst Lie Of My Life

2005-12-07T07:31:00.000+08:00

Surely everyone has lied at least once in their whole life. Some lie is necessary to convince people and some lie is very damaging. For me, I have once told a lie that is so damaging to my own moral and self-esteem(but no harm to others) but eventually I managed to get over this matter not long after but I NEVER in my life lie like that anymore.

I was in Standard 3, 4, 5 or 6, can't really remember but I remember which classroom I'm in at that time. We were having 'Ujian Lukisan' that day. Also forget what I drew but the drawing that I drew didn't tally with the drawing test's title. I panicked man! Lastly I didn't pass up my drawing. I guess I hide the drawing in my beg and quickly go back home. Drawing test was the last test of that day.

I was so confused, frustrated, scared and nervous. I almost went mad. I keep thinking about this matter while having lunch at my aunt's house(that time my aunty 'baby-sit' me and sis). I think of many scenarios how I'm going to tidy up this mess. It's either I failed Drawing Test or lie. I decided to lie because this Drawing Test will affect my whole grade. There are a couple of ideas that I came up but I finally choose one that you also will say bravo to me(for being a good liar ;p).

I decided to draw a new drawing at my aunt's house that afternoon. The lie ? Ahemmm...since I didn't passed up my drawing that morning, I passed this new drawing to her the next day with the reason that I forget to pass my drawing to her yesterday. I said my drawing were in my table's drawer the whole time. And the rest people said is history.

You see...
1. I came early that day and purposely placed my new drawing in my table's drawer(have to act out mah).
2. I told my friend that I forget to pass my drawing yesterday and no one suspected me(what a good liar, hahahahaha).
3. I wonder why that teacher didn't count the total drawing received. (my guess is things were kinda in a hurry that day, we all were getting ready to go back on time).

I finally managed to breathe easily. When I got back the drawing, guess what was my drawing grade ? B man!!!! Oklah for a girl like me who sucks in drawing.

Hey I'm a good girl now ok. I don't bluff like that anymore. That was a hard lesson I learnt. Imagined if my plan goes haywire, I would have been thrown out of school.

Thank God.

CL: Can Manchester United Pull Through ?

2005-12-06T22:01:00.000+08:00

Remember to watch Thursday's morning CL game: Benfica vs ManUtd. I guarantee you this game will be a thriller; not because ManUtd will be knocked out of CL in 9 years(I think 9 years liao) but because ManUtd will pull through in style!

I really don't know what happened to them leh. They can't score and they like to draw(draw picture ah?). Come on lah their group is like the easiest of all. They can easily win over the 3 clubs namely Benfica, Lille and Villarreal but they choose the hard and rocky road.

Wonder Boy

Travelling squad to Lisbon:-
• Keepers: van der Sar, Howard
• Defenders: Ferdinand, Silvestre, Neville, O'Shea, Brown, Pique, Bardsley

BTW, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is coming back. Be warned. Hehehehe!

Hong Kong Trip Cancelled But Singapore Here I Come

2005-12-06T12:50:00.000+08:00

I cancelled my family trip to Hong Kong nnext year officially. For once I've decided that saving is more important than travelling. Hahahahaha! That's because I'm so poor right now.

Actually I plan to use my bonus to pay half of my hutang keliling pinggang by end of this year and the other half for Hong Kong trip. BUT since I need to pay car insurance and road tax come next year March which will cost me about RM1.6k-RM1.8k...I've got to cancel the Hong Kong trip which I estimated will cost me about RM2k(including shopping) for 3 nights. Sad hor. I've planned the Hong Kong itinery already.

BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT I'm now planning to go Singapore next year. Yipeeeee...Cheaper mah and mainly because I get to see The Art of Star Wars at Singapore Science Centre. For more information about The Art of Star Wars exhibition please checkout here.

If you are an ardent fan of Star Wars do visit this exhibition ya. This is a rare opportunity to look behind the scenes for all 6 sagas, the making of the Star Wars movies and relish in the marvelous works and genius of George Lucas and his team in Lucasfilm Ltd.

I've promised my sis that I won't bring my credit card to Singapore. :p The Art of Star Wars exhibition ends on 3rd April 2006. Hurry!

Pikom Fair 2005

2005-12-06T07:41:00.000+08:00

Mom, sis and myself went to KLCC last Sunday. Mom went to Isetan for the BIG Sale while we went to Pikom Fair at KLCC Convention Center.

There were tonnes of people and we have to avoid being sandwiched a couple of times. There were 5 halls in total and so you can imagine how big this Pikom Fair 2005 was. I planned to buy an optical mouse and keyboard.

Reason to buy
Optical mouse - I play too much PC games until my optical mouse is spoilt.

Keyboard - One fine day I accidentally poured a cup of 'nescafe' on my beloved keyboard. Right now I'm using my dad's keyboard. Hehehehehe.

So what did I(and sis) end up buying ? We got a cheap Samsung optical mouse for RM30, 50pcs of blank CD at RM32, 10pcs + 1 pc free blank DVD at RM22, a LG internal 16x super multi DVD/CD rewriter at RM180 and Kingston 1GB Data Traveller aka thumb drive at RM200. Yes I spent alot and I'm broke now at the beginning of December :(

I just finished installing the DVD/CD rewriter on Monday and wah lah...cool. I'm proud of my DVD/CD rewriter because this DVD/CD Rewriter supports 3 DVD formats namely DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD-RAM and it's RW too. It is a 8.5GB Double/Dual Layer which means I can record longer video with higher quality of up to 4 hours of MPEG-2 video. I've tested CD and DVD movies on this driver but I haven't try to write on a DVD disc yet.

I didn't buy keyboard as I think maybe I can just use my dad's one FOREVER. My dad only play Freecell at his pc. Yes, he plays Freecell EVERYDAY. Yet he's not a pro at all. LOL....
