mochi inventions

wished there was a machine that could bathe me. like those car wash type..no need to be too clean..as long as I dun smell and i can feel water splashing against my skin to just kill that heat.

wished there was this machine where I just open my mouth and it'll give me a perfect brushing before I go to bed.

so tired.

I need these 2 machines.

a kawan kawan post~

it arose from a friend complaining about the insensitivity of another friend. and how long have they been friends? 1 year or so. nani?! so it's normal. what's 1 year compared to all my friendships of min 12 years or more.. i mean those really close ones formed since school time.

~ 21 years of friendship- me & carolyn..since kindergarten when we were 6 years old.~
~13 years of friendship - me & Sharon san!~
~ 11 years of friendship - babu, maria, ahmad and siti~
~11 years of friendship - me & zhe san.~
~9 years of friendship - me, becca & zhen

sugoi.

I do not have many friends but I'm proud of them. oh and I draw a clear line between aqaintances and friends. some people have many many friends coz they consider all aqaintances, friends.

The years of friendship is only meaningful if you can make the full use of it. I'm one who takes full advantage of my friendships. yeah..me!!

not take advantage of them per se but more of being myself. How often can you do the things below?

• You frankly tell a friend that you don't feel like going out coz you're very tired and want to just vegetate at home.
  
• You admit that you would like to spend the saturday with your bf coz you have been busy for the whole week and have not met up with him.
  
• You call your friend just to crap about the week you had?

• You say right into a friend's face that the piece of dress she's been oogling at for the past 10 min is actually very ugly? ( mochi says: shopping is a very personal and touchy issue to girls, pls comment with care. ahem**)
  
• You tell your friend that the dress she tried on does not flatter her at all.

• You honestly let your friend know that you have a craving for a particular cuisine and it's definitely not the korean restaurant she's been gushing about.
  
• You drag your friends to that restaurant just to satisfy that craving you've been having for the whole week and pretend that your friends are agreeable to it. (mochi says: this is very evil...do this moderately. anyway, we take turns to do that to each other. haha.)

• You tell your friend to stop harping on the same issue as you're not comfortable talking about it.

....if you do most of the above, congrats! Omedeto!! you've got ichiban tomodachis!

the best thing about ichiban tomodachis is that you feel totally at ease telling each other the truth, or rather, you WANT to tell them the truth. You can be yourself when you're out together and there's no need to hide your feelings or thoughts.

here's a toast to my ichiban tomodachis & those who are still struggling to be yourself, ganbatte and you'll find yourself surrounded by real, true friends.

~ yep, and best friends allow you to make fun of them. :)~

Googling Yourself

was sharing with sharon san the interesting wording printed t-shirts I saw at batam. One of those I bought said "Your Boyfriend is staring". liked it so much but didn't have the guts to wear it out coz scared kena beaten by some ah lian. better wear when i'm with ES to ensure I don't get disfigured.

Another t-shirt I saw said "Sometimes when I'm alone, I google myself". wahaha. I thought it was so hilarious and sharon san said in a matter-of-fact way that she tried to google herself.

meaning= she typed "sharon kwok" in GOOGLE to search herself. wahahaha. isn't it cool. anyway, i laughed at her stupid idea but I tried it.

forest adv & batam spree = vesak holiday

happy vesak day mina san! a long weekend n well deserved break we've been crying for.

weekend was busy.. made a trip down to visit zhe san and after crapping for an hour or so, made my way down to bedok to meet becca n zhen for our forest adventure! it's my 2nd time there and it seems like everyone enjoyed the obstacles and appreciating the good workout they're getting. heh. went to see jessica's new puppies..shucks.forgot to bring my camera..they're so small n cute like soft toys running around. a maltese and a pekinese. super kawaii.

they had a mini muffin cake belated bday celeb for me.. famous muffins from somewhere along east coast road..i'm a muffin fanatic! yummy.

sunday was spent in good ole batam. again. haha. this time round with my colleagues Zal n Mahani. everything went according to our plan...eat, shop, eat, shop. perfect combi.

it's crazy how everyone is crazy over donuts. the Q at J-co was mad. ppl grabbing boxes n boxes of those fattening doughs, their satisfaction showing on beaming faces. haiz.. even out of singapore, the donut craze is still spreading like a virus. Phew, I'm totally immunized.

we spent our time in the same mall from 1pm - 9pm...don't ask me. we couldn't believe it either.


~ready to board the ferry...batamFAST!~


~zal looks too demure...tak boleh tahan zal..this is not u! haha.~


~me and zal. will miss u when u leave us..haiz.~


~gorged on A&W before continuing with dessert at J-Co...sinfully delicious.J-Co there is cheap tho.. 1 dozen box is around 52,000 ruppiah..equals to about S$7.50..~


~very full but still eating.~




~outside hypermart...the supermarket we spent a bulk of our time..pantyliners n pads are super cheap there..chk out crazy singaporeans stocking up.~


~kentang donut..basically donuts made of potato..mahani q-ing up gleefully.~


~my 2 gal frens q-ing for donuts..sighz. spent about 45min waiting for them...the shelves were emptied and spent like dunno how long waiting for chefs to rebake.!!!~


~getting bored from waiting.~



~hungry. our ayam pengyat was pathetically small..the chicken abit malnutritioned. but it tasted quite good. gado gado was yummy too.




~havibng our parting kaya toast at the ferry terminal..the toast looks shrivelled too.~


~happy with my restock of t-shirts....yeah! guess what...all these cost less than 25 bucks...conquered @batam centre mega mall Matahari.. something like our version of OG or robinsons.~

Happy Birthday mochi san....~

happy birthday to moi! (^_^)v

spent a leisurely and expensive day to myself. haven't had that in a long time coz so bloody engrossed in work. shopped shopped shopped in spacious orchard today! John Little got 40% sale! took the chance to top up my toiletries n some make-up..heh.

evil shit's managing an event too so he worked till late into the night. we forced ourselves to meet up yesterday for dinner to celebrate my bday. yea. he gotta literally tell me to abandon my work n get out to have a life. that's what he told himself too. haha.

He suggested Pasta Brava @ Craig Road just beside Tj Pagar Plaza. It is a nice italian restaurant tucked in one of those ulu corners. very nice ambience, pretty authentic n tasty pasta. We were so late that the 1st thing the restaurant asked was " any last order?" ...sollie ah...we haven't even ordered.


~ got abit tired looking at the funny italian names... haha~




~calamari was oishii and didn't taste too oily... yum~


~my seafood marinara... of coz it came in a way longer name...nice niceeeee~


~ tiramisu.... evil shit took a bite and warned me that i would not like it...yep. i hated it. liquor taste was too strong! yucks!... he had the fats to himself... i'm saved!~


~ doodling a picture.... guess guess guess!! beast!~


~ naz thought beast should look like this...not my version.. sollie ah..mine is disney version k. but hor... have to admit his was quite drawn! ~

As advanced evidence to show that i'm indeed older, I left the restaurant wearing the green bib the waitress put on for me so that the pasta would not dirty my top. yep. naz saw it and had to bring it back to the restaurant.???!!!

and to further convince me that my birthday is here, I did the silliest thing ever. Was happily shopping in town till I realised I actually wore my office slipper + my birkens together by mistake. KAOZ. way too malu..... mochi san!!! wake uP!!! yep. imagine evil shit's face when he saw it.. surprisingly, he didn't react that much to it. think he's accustomed to all my malu shits.



just some random pics i took... did i tell you i love my camera??


~ surprise flowers on my desk when I returned from meeting... thx evil shit!~





~ me and joanneeee~


~ some of my closer colleagues...Mahani a.k.a. My Honey....kak Rosnah, Evelyn aka Matt and me aka shiny


~ top is Ann and Krish beside me...smilezzz... they actually questioned my wide angle camera whether all heads can fit... omg.. what audacity!! of coz it can!~

all pumped up

my shoes played me out this morning. why why why. according to evil shit, as evil as usual, it was a double sign to ask me take MC today. I decided to wear this pair of shoes which I haven't worn since half a year ago forgetting the high possibility of it disintegrating due to infrequent usage.

mochi says: yes gals, those who dunno. Shoes will disintegrate if not worn for a long time although they might be new shoes.

yep.. felt my left shoe loosening and 2 secs later the right shoe buckle came flapping down onto the floor. WTH. hobbled with the buckle knocking melodiously on the ground as I trudged to the bus stop trying to kiap the left shoe in place using my super toes power. perspired under the merciless morning sun while making my way back home to change my shoes and was super late for work.

been on a strict exercise regime since last week..mon, wed n fri are exercise days. and maybe sun. managed to keep to it for a week... hope I can tahan 1 month and see some results. less flabby n cellulite infested thighs. ganbatte mochi san!

it's tues...................... i feel like shopping. wanna buy the solelover's mary janes, a pair of black jeans, nice tops, new shoes.... got this thing about flat pumps now...they're so comfy for work when rushing for buses or trains.

need okane to rain on me.
