May 2009 – Revisited

May has been a very interesting month indeed. Not only has it been an extremely busy month for Little Miss Sha, it was also filled with note-worthy points of information.

Let’s begin shall we?

1. Nature Walks

FP, myself and some friends went for nature walks. In the first week, it was just FP and myself. It was really nice to just be surrounded by nature. Although the plan was to jog, that very first week we just walked (mainly because I am clearly unfit to jog). I found it very interesting to be walking through nature and reading all the signboards and signs explaining to me about the trees I was passing.

Sure I was so very paranoid about bumping into snakes, but that was part of the fun I guess. It was kind of romantic to be going for nature walks with FP, hehehe.

Plus we saw monkeys and squirrels, which is certainly always an interesting point considering what happened the following week when we went with some friends.

Weird MushroomSome kind of weird mushroom that we saw, on both weeks.

2. Crazy Buffalo Wings

May was also the month whereby tongues got scorched and tears appeared during meal times. Crazy but true. This of course resulted in blackmail worthy photos and videos, hohoho!

That reminds me: The CLASSIC video of Kawan E having Level 4 Wings has still not been released to the World Wide Web! *looks knowingly at FP*

So anyway, we started with Level 3 Buffalo Wings before moving on to Level 4 the following week.

Level 4 literally ate my brain cells. I think the spiciness really ate my brain cells because I was too numb to do anything after that. Now you’d know why if my bimbo moments are happening increasingly. At least I have an excuse now.

This is too new for you to have forgotten. Nuff said.

3. Taxi Accident

I was involved in a taxi accident earlier in the month. No, I didn’t get hit by a lorry. I was in a cab on the way to meet Syaz after work. Took a cab from Ikea and basically to get to my destination, the cab had to make a U-turn. Sound simple enough?

Well apparently not. Halfway through the turn, somehow or rather – there was a little crash between the cab and a motorcycle. To make matters worse, the motorcyclist was a Gangsterique (lol) Looking Mat. And boy was he not friendly.

I didn’t know what to do because it all seemed so exciting so I stayed (and even provided a statement later, much to FP’s disapproval).

As I waited in the cab and watched the going-ons around me, the shock wore off and I found it funny all of a sudden. The Gangterique Mat wasn’t injured (much). He kept holding on to his shoulder, and kept banging the window while the cab driver spoke to me.

Much later, an ambulance appeared, and get this – he climbed into the side door of the ambulance by himself! Not the usual case of “stretcher and badly injured motorcylist being carried oh-so-gently to the back of the ambulance”.

Funny? Hilarious.

6. The Most Amazing Chocolate Ice Cream EVER

There will only be one, just ONE chocolate ice cream from now onwards. Understood?

Hmm, I think I am craving for it *HINT*

7. Hard Work Never Killed Us

Work? Work was really crazy this month, especially in the last two weeks. But it’s all worth it. The new site has been launched, after months and months of sheer hard work.

What do you think of the new site? :D

Do go explore the new features and interface if you haven’t already!

8. Gossip Girl, xoxo

I started watching Gossip Girl and am hooked to it! Thanks GGR for introducing me to this wonderful show about the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s Elite. :P

What is not to like? We are surrounded by gossip everyday – be it celeb gossip or other wise. This is just a peek into the other side of the story.

Verdict: Very juicy and very intriguing indeed.

I am on to the second season now. What are you still waiting for? :P

May has been quite a handful month. Glad it’s over and done with. I wonder what June may bring?

Only time will tell. Stay tuned!

April 2009 – Revisited

Finally, the most tiring month ever has come to an end. In fact, this week proved to be the most exhausting week in April and that is saying alot considering how stressful the entire month has been :(

So let’s go through what went on in April, in a nutshell:

- I started taking a keen interest in baking. Was pushed into baking a birthday cake for FP after some unreliable sources let me down. The cake turned out really nice, with strong hints of my habit of personalizing everything. Since then, I have been baking on a weekly basis – experimenting and learning at the same time.

The fruits of my labour are not yet picture perfect but it’s getting there :) I have tried baking cupcakes, muffins, fairy cakes and brownies so far. I hope I can improve in due time so that I can practice my other passion, food photography.

- Photoshoots for 50 Weeks of Her were quite futile this month. We missed out 2 weeks of shoots while the other two weeks were engulfed with stumped ideas and concepts. But oh well, we’ll try harder in the month of May.

- We went to watch Cats the Musical! It’s my first musical in years (the last time was about three years back?) It was an okay experience but could have been better, much better. Better seats, next time!

- I got sucked into the world of Sookie Stackhouse (funny how some of the characters sound like they are calling her Sucky) of the True Blood series. Bill Compton makes Edward Cullen look like a boy, and that’s saying alot. I am halfway through the first season and rest assured, I will blog about it. Hehehe. Bill Compton brings broody and intense to a whole new level. Me likey lots lots :D

- Speaking of vampires, I finally finished reading the Twilight series. I did a really long review/spoiler of it so I shall spare you here :)

- Work. Work kept me really busy. Other smaller projects got completed. Some other major projects still in the works. This is why, I am so exhausted this month. But it’s okay, because I know that satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment will be attained when everything is finished :)

- FP and I set up a joint savings account. This was something that we had wanted to do for the longest time. And since our careers have stablilized and we have our own individual savings, we figured it’s high time to set up a fund for our future. It’s really nice to build something together with him. It’s truly a significant event for me – this setting up of our joint account. ;)

- And finally, today FP and I celebrate our 6th year anniversary. 6 amazing years and still counting. We’ve grown together as a couple and individually as persons. Seen each other through schooldays to our current careers. Been through hell and back – we almost lost each other, but in the end of the day we managed to stitch it back together good as new. Believe it or not, we are even closer now and much more stronger than ever before. I love you, FP. If I have to go through hell and back again to find the happiness that we have right now, I would. Can’t wait for forever to begin for us, xoxo.

****
I am truly glad April is now over. Hopefully May will be a less stressful and exhausting month. Maybe it is just me who needs to look after myself in a more effective way :(

March 2009 – Revisited

I didn’t know what to jot down when I first thought of this topic. And then, everything came crashing and the crashing made me smile.

March has been an unexpectedly fantastic month. I said unexpected because it looked from a sheer glance that it could jolly well be a bad month. I went almost completely broke this month. But that turned out to be a silver lining. I also got injured plenty. But there were more pros than cons to the month.

It has been a month of many firsts:

1) I went ahead with my instincts and got my this lovely domain

2) I visited a dentist for the first time in years due to gum inflammation and bleeding

3) I started to bring food from home. And it actually felt good to be eating home cooked food that has been packed with love by mum :)

4) FP and I started a fabulous and wonderful (hehe) project called 50 Weeks of Her. I’m really excited about it as not only will create special memories with each coming week, it will make us even more closer because now we have a commitment to fulfill :)

5) I sprained both ankles. This must be the worst fall I’ve ever experienced, and that is saying a lot.

6) Today FP and I took the train to work together. This may be our new morning routine because it was just really nice haha :)

7) Also, a project that my colleagues and I have been working so hard on since December, finally came to life today. It feels really great to see a masterpiece become a reality. Looking at every inch of the site, I beam with sheer happiness because it really is a wonderful thing and I do know just how much effort was put in to make it possible. It’s really the best thing I’ve ever worked on, and I won’t be ashamed to say that I am darn proud of it and that I deserve to be proud of it :)

Love it!
