Primary School Reunion Italian Style

I've got the flu.. Anything related to it, you name it, I've got it - The sniffles, the fever, the oh-very-sore lumpy throat, the dizziness, the dry cough, the phlegm, the headache, the muscle aches. I was very feverish by late afternoon, but after nearly 2 hours of sleep and a Slurpee treat from Inspector (bless him. *Hugz*), I felt a bit better for the reunion.

It was a disappointing turnout, 14 of us including Inspector (he decided to come along since I was sick. *Double hugz*) at Pizza Uno, Centrepoint. But, considering that the last turnout at Souled Out was at least 25 of them, the one that I had to miss coz I had to see Yeh Yeh for the last time. I guess I can say that, the highlight of the reunion was the suprise belated birthday celebration they had for me. Thank you so much, everyone!! I was really moved. For the record, the last birthday celebration we all had together was exactly 12 years ago, and that was to celebrate my 12th birthday. It also marked the final we all had together before we moved on to different secondary schools.

Gosh.. How time flew by so quickly. Just by remembering how we used to play "getah", "batu seremban", "tiang", or even "Police & Thief" makes me wanna laugh. How can I ever forget the times when we would just say, "I dowan to friend you", or "You bluff bluff friend him arrr", or when the guys acted so macho back in Std 1 before the BCG jabs and then came back to the class crying. Hehe.. I miss those days..

Come to think of it, the last reunion we had before this year was in Form 5. And this year itself, we've already had 3. Now they've suggested to have a Christmas party. I for one, am happy coz this bunch of people, no matter how different they've become, how successful they are, they still look forward to every single reunions and yet they can still yak about anything till the cows come home. :)

So is anyone willing to take over my place and organize the Christmas party this time? *wink*

Happy 24th To Me!

I'm 24 today! Happy Birthday to me.. Happy Birthday to me.. Happy Birthday to me.. Happy Birthday to me!

Hehe.. Oh yeah, not forgetting, Happy Birthday to my "twin" Wai Nee, my nephew, my colleague and another friend. Woo hoo.. So many people sharing the same birthday as me!!! ;)

It's gonna be a quiet family affair today, since I've already celebrated it with my friends for the past week. Tonight I'm gonna go to Victoria Station for dinner with Dad, Mum & Inspector. As for now, I'm off to go shopping at Mid Valley with Mum. Muahaha...

But before I sign off, here's a very big Thank You to my family, Inspector (for everything and the lovely Precious Moments jewelry box) & his family, Der Der (for the lovely TattyTeddy birthday card all the way from England), Bubbs (for the gifts), Moorish/Sue/Lily/Jewel (for the BBQ dinner), Player & Fair Lady, Kari Ayam (my birthday-after-mine friend.. Hehe), Gummy, colleagues and friends for all the birthday wishes! Thank you sooo much!!!

Oh yeah, here's a quote coming from another person who was born on the 27th November -- the late Bruce Lee - "Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind."

6 Days Till I'm 24

I had a double pre-Birthday celebration yesterday.

First was with my colleagues where on each month, we hold a small celebration for staffs whose birthdays fall on that particular month. And this month, I'm sharing it with a female colleague (same day as mine!) and Hammie (2 days after me). A mocha walnut cake from the cake factory next door.

The second one was at a BBQ dinner with Moorish, Sue, Lily, Jewel & her bf over at Moorish's place. They got me a cake. Oooh.. Guess what? It's also a mocha walnut cake! *lol* But theirs was from Baker's Cottage, and of course, it looked so much more better and it tasted better. ;) What a coincidence, eh?

Nevertheless, I had a good time at Moorish's place. It drizzled a bit, so the wind was quite breezy that night. We were there from 8pm, helped out with the food while Inspector, Jewel & her bf set up the BBQ set. We just chatted till past midnight before they took out the cake. By 1am or so, we started claning up the place and left after 2am.

I was very touched, really, coz I wasn't hoping for anything from them at all, no gifts or whatsoever. I was looking forward to the dinner coz it had been ages since I last saw them, and I've always never turned up for the MS-es (mamak sessions). We did a lot of catching up with each other, so yeah, it was good. :)

You know how everytime before you blow your birthday cake, you have to make a wish first and hope that it will come true? As Sue quoted, "Last year I wished that I will pass CLP, and it came true!". Haha.. I'm not gonna really tell you what I wished for, coz otherwise it won't come true! But I shall drop you a hint. For the first time, I didn't make a wish for myself. I wished on their behalfs, all 6 of them who were there to celebrate with me. You know what, I felt good after that. Really good. And I've decided that, for every candles I will blow in the years to come, I'm not gonna make a wish for myself, but for other people. :)

So thank you very much, Inspector and my dear friends for the birthday celebration. I hope that what I wished for you guyz will come true. :D

Little Kelisa Turns Two

Happy Birthday to you.. Happy Birthday to you.. Happy Birthday Little Kelisa.. Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuu!!!

My little car is 2 years old today!! Whoopeee!! Still in a very good condition, no 'koyak' here or there. ;) Can't believe it, just 2 years ago, I was deciding whether to get a car of my own, and I wanted a small one. Mum said, "Don't ever get Kancil! Get Kelisa laa". But but.. The car was launched 2-3 months before that and I didn't even know how it looked like. I just knew it's a small car.

So off I went to Perodua showroom in Section 19 with my parents. There it was, metallic silver, auto, being displayed. I sat on the driver's seat and I just fell in love with it! Hehe.. I was like, "Ok, buy this!". Dad & Mum were ok with it too, so we got down to discuss with the salesperson about the car loan, down payment, road tax, car plate number and all. When i got home, I called Inspector and told him that I made the booking for the car. He asked, "Got hands-free set, right?", Got this one, right? Got that one, right? I just answered, "Errr... Got kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa??" I didn't notice anything!! Keke.. I was THAT bad!!

But yeah, not regretting it, not one bit. ;D I just love it! During traffid jams, I can just swerve here, swerve there. Oh.. And when it comes to parking, all the big cars can't fit into that space, I can just go in easily without much hassle. *Nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh*

I've got 1 more year to completely settle the car loan installment and then it's fully MINE, all MINE! Muahahhaa.. Did I tell you that I love my car? ;)

Pendulum Divination

Do you believe in predictions of your life's future events? Have you been through fortune telling, tarot card readings, crystal balls, or perhaps Ouija boards? Do you believe in what they tell you? Or do you think that the reader is just making things up?

Dad is a tarot card reader. He keeps his deck of cards in a nice box, covered with a red cloth, together with the book (still in a very mint condition) in a drawer. I've read the book before, even tried out one of the tarot readings using a deck of gambling cards, which reads about my past, present and future. I'm not a very good reader, but the reading seemed true. Should have noted down the future readings, then I could see if it was really true or not.

But what I believe in is "pendulum divination". It's just using a silver ring suspended from a silver chain, hold it with your right hand, and let the ring hang motionless above your left palm. Ask a question, and you'll see the ring starts to swing side-ways or circularly, which means "Yes" or "No". Or it could remain motionless which means "Uncertain". From stationary to swinging by itself, how can this be? But it does! A classmate back in high school taught me that where we were just basically asking for fun about how many children we would get and whether they would be boys or girls. I was to have 3 children - first 2 are boys, third is a girl. That was in 1995. I tried it again a few occasions years after that and I still got the same answer. Mere coincidence? Tried it yesterday and I got the same answer too. Scary, huh?

I was still unsure about where it really works, so I started asking general questions about myself to see which directions it sways to for "Yes" and "No". My pendulum sways circularly for "Yes", and side-ways for "No". What I asked were :

"Is my name xxx?" - yes (correct)
"Am I turning 24 this month?" - yes (correct)
"Is my name $^%&%*^?" - no (correct)
"Do I work in ***?" - yes (correct)
"Was I born in January?" - no (correct)

Then I asked questions about my future, and every now and then, I would ask again the same questions above to double check. They were all correct! Well, except that I don't know whether the answers to the questions I asked about the future will come true or not, but I'll give it the benefit of a doubt for now.

I told Moorish and Sue about this, and Moorish asked if I could 'ask' the pendulum whether she should get a dive computer. So during lunch break, I 'asked' the pendulum these :

"Do I have a friend named Moorish?" - yes (correct)
"Is she 24 this year?" - yes (correct)
"Should Moorish buy a dive computer?" - no answer
"Was she born in January?" - no (correct)
"Should Moorish buy a dive computer?" - no answer again
"Was she born in August?" - yes (correct)

Tonight I will 'ask' again, this time giving the specific model name and price and all, see what answer it will give me.

Did some net surfing about this, and I found a lot of sites which claim that it works, especially for dowsing (locating missing things or people). I wouldn't say that I will very much depend on or hold on to the answers I get. If it's true, then it's true. If it's not, then too bad la. One way or another, it's still cool, eh?
