coffee or tea?

We have a very cute secretary in office...i have a few colleagues who are coffee addicts...so one day, my colleague came bek from his business trip and bought some coffee back for them....so he passed the brazillian coffee, which was supposed to be quite nice, to my colleagues...my colleagues were happy of coz, so they passed the coffee to the secretary and asked her to make them a cup each....the little cute secretary took the coffee and made them a cup each as requested...then suddenly, i heard this really loud laughter from outside...my colleagues came to show me what the secretary did...it was hilarious...hahahahaha....guess what she did? my colleague didnt know that he bought coffee bean instead of coffee powder and the secretary, who hasn't made any coffee before just threw in the coffee beans and added hot water. she said she thought the coffee bean will dissolve in the water. Since she hasnt made any coffee before, she thought she could do what she normally does with tea bags/tea leaves....hhhmmm..interesting logic..i never thought of the idea...hahaha...but i couldnt help laughing coz i didnt know there are people out there who could mix the concept of making tea with the concept of making coffee....all i could say is BRAVO, BRILLIANT~~~:)

174cm Life~

i like the comic book from a popular Japanese comic book author called Takagi Naoko. She had three comic books about life as 150cm gal....there are alot of hillarious stories inside which made me realised tat i didnt have problems like this....which i feel grateful about...of coz i have other problems too....let me think think and list down for your entertainment :) (we have to be fair and let people understand benefits/pains/problems of life as 174cm too ^^)

1. i found it hard to buy shoes...coz i'm tall, hence means big feet...when i saw shoes i like, disappointingly, the sizes only go up to size 7 or 8...and sadly, i'm 8.5 :'( =>problem
2. i eat like monster...but people still say i'm slim ^^....the truth is, tall ppl can hide excess fats better => :D benefit
3. coz of my heart, i tend to look more mature and more masculine....which means i don't get special treatment small gals do => :( disadvantage
4. i get all the attention when im in the room => Good and bad
5. i can store things at places/cabinets where small people may need a ladder => advantage

The list will go on and on and on...but ah fai pointed out something interesting when ah fai was at my place...ah fai was using my toilet and saw a bunch of toiletries on top of my shower rail...hahah, only tall people do that...i didnt find it special before ah fai pointed out..now i realised, my family all do this...mayb that's why i didnt realised tat this only happen at my home but not at my friends' :) INTERESTING~~~

But i still like to be tall~~~

Good idea - 生活智慧

visited LJ during CNY...initially wanted to attack her CNY goodies....before CNY, LJ told us how much time she spent on making CNY goodies and how many varieties she was experimenting...with that comment, i wanted to dropby to finish up the goodies...but there was a change in plan because we wanted to visit CS first who said she would be going out later in the night...not wanting to miss out seeing CS, we picked up LJ and drove to CS's place....CS's place was also FULL of CNY goodies...goodies that i didnt even see or hear before...both jenn and i attacked her keropok (ie crackers) and acar (ie a kind of pickle) and swallow like two monsters...CS went in to get more crackers while LJ attacked her other food..we were like 3 monsters at little CS's place...after 30 mins of swallowing and chitchatting, we thought it was better to leave and attack the next house....but the food in the next food was exactly the same as CS's place....so we decided to finally attack LJ's place....lucky for LJ that both jenn and i had no space for more food...so we munched on LJ's CNY goodies...after that we stayed back to watch comedies at her place....then suddenly we saw this sign at the door...oh, this is really a good way of reminding us to be careful...hehe...i think jenn had a similar concept...how interesting..now im thinking of doing my own...like no snacking, no loitering, beware of overweight etc...haha...as if i could keep to my own vows....here's the idea from LJ...

CNY 2009

Chinese new year this year for me is........different....CNY visiting for me used to be like a task to be done...it used to be all about efficiency and effectiveness...kinda like work...haha, well, may be not tat serious but when i looked back now, my CNY visiting used to be quite...RUSHED and full....first day of CNY was always about visiting close friends and relatives and second day was always about visiting as many other friends, colleagues, acquaintances and friends of friends/colleagues...we used to visit 25++ houses in a day and with 4 or 5 car full of people....you would think how we managed to visit so many houses in a day and eat so much "CNY goodies" in a day...well, this required a lot of planning and techniques...hahaha....sounds very professional and yet scary and overdemanding...first few houses, we usually spent longer time..about 30 mins and as time passed by, we sped up our CNY visit...a visit became a drop by...haha...after 10 mins and a glass of water, we sped off to another house and repeat the same process...that was dropby without quality so this year, we redefined and restructured out routine CNY plan....we only visit close friends and usually stayed there for 1 or 1.30 hours...chit chatting and catching up and having a lot of fun...no more rushing...as we get older, i think we put more emphasis on the spending quality time with people who are closer to us, which is also a more meaningful way of spending time....eventhough we didnt get to go to as many houses as we used to be and with so many car full of people, we were having more fun and kinda realised the meaning of CNY :) i have to say, eventhough my CNY this year is somewhat quiet and relax, i had LOTS of fun... i look like this this year \(^^)/...the only thing i wish now is that....all shops, pls open la...i wanna eat some kuching food before i hop on the plane~~~~~ *make a wish* QUOTES OF THE YEAR: Beginnings are often scary, endings are often sad, but it's the middle that counts. You should remember that when you find yourself at the beginning. ~Steven Rogers~
