I'm bored!!! I'm tired!!!

Hello peeps!!!

I'm so tempted to write about the canning sentence of Kartika...but there is so much talk about it that I just couldn't be bothered anymore.

Or could I be missing out on some other news??? Oh well.....wouldn't make much difference if I agree to it cause somebody said it Tun Mahathir's blog that non-Muslims shouldn's have a say in it...so I'm keeping quiet...haha...though I think its hilarious that they are canning someone for driking beer.....oh well....life goes on....and I will shut up about this for now :D

THE STAR: Wife splashes acid on cheating hubby. NEW STRAIT TIMES: Wife splashes acid on hubby, girlfriend ... SAME STORY KAH???

I was reading the papers online and found this. It was hilarious...well...I thought it was. Not because of the cheating hubby and the wife throwing the acid on him... BUT that BOTH NEWS WERE TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!

It's either one of the newspapers got it wrong, or its towo different stories altogether!!! I doubt it though...you have a read and let me know what you think :P At least they got the place and hospital name correct :P

Have fun reading!!! And on a serious note, aren't newspapers suppose to be credible???

Finally something about the 10km Dynasty Charity Run!!!

Ok...it's about time I write something about the Dynasty 10km Charity Run which was held like 2 weeks ago :P. I totally blame it on my sister for not giving me the pics...and mind you, she has yet to give it to me....but I still love you Jess :P

Despite my sisters lateness I do still have some pictures here which is mostly from Farah's Camera. Thanks babe!!! The first few are from my camera which apparently did not have enough memory space to take more pictures!!! That is my major downfall....I always forget that cameras are important....I always take camera's for granted and due to that I don't even bother to check whether it has any memory left the day before the run!!! I think I was more worried in completing the race within the one hour mark...hahaha....sad or not???

Anyway, here are the pictures and the story of that day follows each picture. Have fun reading!!!

That's me and my sister walking out of the Dynasty Hotel after a quick pee (which is literally caused by nervousness!!!). In here I'm probably still wondering to myself, "Whylah I go and join this Run, mata pun belum buka lagi!" That's how I felt when I had to wake up 5am.....I felt miserable!!! Plus the fact that my daughter wasn't really helping cause she was so excited that my sister was around and had such a hard time falling asleep. We all finally got to bed at 11.30pm the day before...so not enough sleep!

Honestly, I have no idea how I agreed to taking this picture!!! I bet you my brain hasn't even start-up yet :P Then again, its probably being around my sister that makes me do silly things!!! We always did have great fun with each other. She's a bit the gila-gila one :P But Gila in a good way lah...she always makes life a bit more interesting!!! ;)

That's where we start and where we end....still very early....am surprise there are cars on the road already.....

Ahhhh (said it a nice soft sweet tone).....me and my colleagues!!! Jannie, Farah and Me!!!

Me and my sis again. Guess which is me??? The smaller one lah!!! :P There had aerobics before the run to warm up our muscles....but somehow I don't seem to be able to coordinate moving from side to side and kicking into thin air with music....:P It does seem as if me and my sis are doing our own stretching :D. If you look at my sister's shoulder blades, you can see muscle! If you look at mine....well, no need to look lah...there is nothing much to look at also...hahaha...sigh...*envy envy sister* ;)

Us at the starting line, me and sis in front, Jannie and Farah behind. We are all ready to go with our MP3's!!! I love mine!!! No wires attached!!! ;)

Me and my sis on the go....this is when we are on the way back to Dynasty Hotel from the inner route....5km more to go!!! We can do it!!! We can do it!!! The only thing that was running through my head at the time was "Where the hell are the super fit/super fast ladies??? What number am I??? 3rd? Hmmm.....3rd still got RM500...hmmm...but I don't think I'm 3rd.....aiyo!!! I hope I get something out of this run!!!" And every lady that I pass are girls!!! I keep hoping that I'll pass a lady in the woman category but every time I get close, they are in the Girls category!!! I mean seriously, what do these girls eat??? They are all bigger than me!!! Then again, I keep on forgetting I am small after all...haha...sad sad.

That's us after the race...happy that its all finally over!!! My daughter came late since she woke up late and the hubby sent her over....with her nice dress and all....

That's our pink rubber band that we collected on the run. I think they didn't have enough of it cause at the turning point of the 10km, they didn't have another pink rubber band which cause some havoc at the end cause some ladies follow the girls route and completed the race before us. However, it was all settled and we got our numbers correctly....thank God!!! cause I was number 9 and number 9 didn't have any money!!! I was then moved to number ____, hahaha...spoil the fun if I tell you now...read on people read on!!! :P

That's the bean/onion/sky fruit??? Who knows what that is...hahaha...it looked like an onion to me. My daughter was terrified of it. We wanted to take picture with it but we kept on saying "Later lah, Later lah" sampai the later also never came...hahaha. In this picture the Onion seems to be given a pep talk....probably scared some child into tears :P. I'm just assuming ah....don't you all go and scold the onion men in the suit...afterwards I pulak kena sue....:P

Here's a picture of one of the PDK girls...they are special children :) Cute or not she...she was so happy dancing to the music and trying to get our attention to take her picture. The PDK actually took part in the event and sent a big group to the run :D. It was a very lively event with them around :D.

The VIP's. See if you can identify them....

The hampers for the top 10 winners :)

My sister won 10th place, and she is one multi-tasking person!!! She could carry the hamper and the Milo and her certificate!!!

Jannie at 8th place...also very multi-tasking!!! See how she balances the tin of Milo!!!

And that's me at 7th place....hahaha...not 1st, neither 2nd nor 3rd....WAAAAA!!! Hahaha...but 7th placing!!! Can lah!!! Still got RM100 from it bah. Suspend le you all :P Well, compared to those ladies who won...they have like serious leg muscles!!! When me, Jannie and my sis first so them at the starting line, we were like, "WAH! No need to get 1st anymore lah"...actually, I think I was the one who said that :P...or was I thinking it???

Anyway, this ladies are like veteran runners and one of them who got 6th placing was probably their daughter...also very fit le...jealous nya aku!!! They are from Sibu....that's what I heard lah..hopefully when I reach 40 years old...I can run as fast as them....:P (I'm just guessing that they are around that age cause they sure don't look young to me neither that old lah:P). And if you look at me receiving the prize....I am not a multi-tasker....I mean seriously, how can you carry a hamper and a BIG (note the BIG) Tin of Milo at the same time??? I actually ask my sister that question....she said "Can!". My justification to me being no able to carry it is that:

1) I'm small

2) I have no hand muscles

3) The hamper was heavy lah!!!

Anyway, I got someone to help me carry the Tin of Milo down :P

That's me and my sis with our medals....look like sisters or not???

That's Farah, she took most of the pictures....thank you babe!!! And don't underestimate this girl...she is one super fit lady as well....compared to many of you all out there lah...she completed the 10km in 1hour and 17minutes!!! Correct kah Farah??? hehehe...I hope I got that right :D. And she has done a 21km run too!!! I seriously think she is someone to look up too!!! Respect babe! Respect!!! (Me saluting to you :))

That's all of us with the VIPs!!! Sorry for the small picture :P. If you see closely, you can see my sis, me and Jannie at the left side on top of the stage :D

And this is the final picture....of Farah, Jannie, Me, My Sis and My little Girl (Hopefully a future runner in the making :P). Overall, it was one of the best days I have had for a very long time. Thanks to the ladies in the picture :D. Great fun!!! Lets do it again next year!!! Hehe...What say you all???

As for our timing for the 10km run:

Farah - 1 hour 17 Minutes

Sis - 57 Minutes (I think, am I right kah??? or was it 56 minutes??? or 55 minutes??? :P)

Jannie - 53 Minutes

Me - 51 Minutes (YES! I broke my 1 hour mark...hehehe...after all the stressing out over nothing :P)

Ohhh...I just had to add in one more last minute picture...so this is officially the last one...that's my sis and Tina our supporter during our run :D Thanks dear!!!

(I might as well continue writing about all that I did for that day, since I've written so much already...haha..you can stop here if you don't want to read anymore :P and thanks for dropping by!!!)

After the event, we went home, I had a good shower and went to church with my mom at 11am. After church, we had lunch at Muria and my mom went home while me, my sister, tina and my daughter went to Parkson. We shopped and had drinks at Star Bucks till 4pm.

On the way home, my daughter said that her Milk has finished. I obviously said to her "Why you didn't tell mommy when we were inside Parkson" and she said "I just remembered"....so when we got home, I got her ready to go to a little boys birthday party. Showered her and changed her into a nice dress. As for me, screw the showering lah...I was mentally and physically exhausted already. So after I got her ready, we said bye to my sis and her friend Tina as they were going back to Brunei.

After that we went to Pottery (that's what we call it in English)/Ng Sian Hup (that's what we call it in Chinese)/Kenyalang (and that's what we call it in BM) and got her Milk. By the time we got to the party, it was almost 6pm. There were so many cars!!! I wanted to turn back but my daughter wanted to go in....haha. We went in for awhile, ate Laksa (very nice I may say so myself). My daughter had her slice of birthday cake and we went home at 7pm. She was just as exhausted as I was cause she hadn't slept the whole day either. Got home, changed her into her PJ's and she fell asleep at 8pm.

I on the other hand...probably soooooooooo exhausted, just couldn't sleep....so I did my 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle till 10pm then decided to call it a day. Closed my eyes and that's it, I was out. What a day that was!!!

Looking forward to a 7km run on the 15th August :D. Fingers cross I might win something again this time :P Ta for now!!!

5 Years Ago Today My Dad Died of a Heart Attack...4th August 2004

5 years ago today my dad died of a heart attack

Dad, you're still missed!!! A lot!!!

I know you're looking down at us all the time, but it just isn't the same as you being around

I wish I could hug you and give you a peck on the cheeck

But I guess the only thing I can do is look into the sky and send a kiss your way

Unfortunately today is pretty hazy, so my kiss might very likely get loss in the haze :P

But then again, I'm sure being in heaven has given you special powers to look through all the haze and find that kiss of mine :D

So here it is "MWAHS!!!"...and hoping you catch it!!!

One more thing Dad, can you please talk to God and get him to send us some rain here in Miri? You can see for yourself how hot it is :P

THANKS DADDY!!! And am so glad I have special connections in heaven ;) Love you Daddy!!!

I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!

Mwahs mwahs mwahs!!!

X-Ray of my Broken Nose :)

Sigh....I don't even know how to look at X-rays....how do we actually see that my nose is broken??? The only thing that came to my mind when I saw this X-Ray was, 'Wah! I have such a small head and it looks like a monkeys head!!!' Its a wonder that I'm not that smart...hahaha...my skull so kecik!!! :P

That's me on the wheelchair with an Ice pack!!! Can you seem me smilling??? :P And behind me from left to right is Sylvia and Farah :D. The one taking the picture is En! Thanks babe...without you I'll be pictureless :(

And sadly....those are the only pictures I have....cannot even see my broken nose :(

Oh well....life goes on!!!

I BROKE MY NOSE!!! WOOHOO!!! :P

This is how my nose should look like....do't have a picture with my new nose now cause the camera's battery is flat....will put it up tomorrow....I think my nose still looks the same but my hubby says it looks bigger now...'That's just great!!!"...hahaha...

This is how I looked like after the surgery and my nose back in place. I have pictures when I was at Columbia in the emergency room but I have yet to get it from my friend En. Will post it up once I get it :P Sayang I forgot to take a picture of my nose when it was still broken...wanted to but forgot....hiyah! Signs of old age :P

I BROKE MY NOSE!!! WOOHOO!!! Isn't my life just so exciting!!! Hahahaha....sad case lah.....so much for having a sharp nose....not that sharp lah...but sharp enough :P. And that's the reason why I've been MIA for awhile :D. Wanted to blog about my 10km run but was waiting for my sister to upload her pictures in facebook, which she has yet to do!!! Jess!!! What's taking so long!!! :P

Anyway, in the process of waiting from Monday to Tuesday, I broke my nose on TUESDAY during the netball practice!!! In actual fact...at work on that Tuesday, i told my colleague that I felt like taking leave on Wednesday, just to relax at home. Who would have guessed that I would have broken my nose that evening and would be given 4 days medical leave!!! Hahaha...bahaya also to say you want to take leave :P

But then again, who would expect netball to be such a rough game...go figure!!! I guess I was just jumping at the wrong place at the wrong time...plus the fact that I'm short and have a sharp nose, like I said, not that sharp lah...but sharp enough for it to get in the way of an elbow!!!

Well, it all happen when we were practicing with the SKO ladies....it was a pretty relaxing game, and somehow during the game I went jumping for the ball...and this other lady who is much taller than me, went for the ball at the same time...unfortunately for me, I was behind her so as I landed, she landed as well and her elbow when smack straight into my nose...and all I heard at that time was 'KREECCKK'. And I was like, 'Oh SHIT' (in my head lah) and I immediately pressed my nose with my fingers....not exactly knowing what to expect. It didn't hurt...surprisingly!!! Anyway, after pressing my nose and looking down at my hands, I was BLEEDING!!! LIKE A LOT!!! But again, surprisingly I was quite calm. All my lovely netballer friends were all so worried....and thank goodness there were some first aiders there :D. They asked me whether I broke my nose or not...so after a bit of a feel with my fingers, it was confirm that it was broken....the bridge of my nose had moved to the left side of my nose and my right side of my nose went in.....how COOL WAS THAT!!! It sure as hell FREAKED ME OUT!!! Hahahaha...but somehow I still manage to keep my cool....I was positive the doctors in Columbia would fix it.

Anyway, after awhile of pressing my nose and facing down I started to feel dizzy and my ears were buzzing and all I wanted to do was to lie down....hehehe....but of course they wouldn't let me lie down. Instead they happily carried me to the car....of course after that some nice guy decided to help them out and took over to carry me. Thanks to whoever you are!!! I seriously got to get your name...and I doubt you'll be reading this too....but thanks anyway :D.

After that my dear Farah (accompanied by En) drove me to Columbia Asia. Farah did a good job in getting me safely there and we all had out seat belts on despite the emergency :P. So we were very HSE compliant :P. Thanks Farah and En!!!

When we reached there I was wheeled into the emergency room. And while I was there, I realise my bib was still on...hahaha....malu eh!!! We manage to take it out somewhere during the time when I got an ice block from the nurse to put on my nose. We then waited for the X-ray guy to come, and despite me telling Farah and En to go home then insisted to stick around..SEE!!! I have such beautiful friends...LUCKY ME!!! :P And after waiting for quite awhile the X-ray guy finally arrived....so I got my nose X-rayed and it was then officially declared BROKEN!!! Hahaha....how exciting!!! (Oh yah, did I mention that Syl came by to see whether I'm ok too...thanks babe!!!) By then the bleeding had already stopped. So, I just had to wait for the doctor to say whether I needed to go into surgery or not. Took awhile before the doctor finally came back cause she went for dinner.....and she called the ENT specialist. I was then told that my nose wasn't an emergency case cause it had stopped bleeding. My next reaction to the doctor was 'What??? it's not an emergency case??? My nose is broken and its not an emergency case???' and she said 'No, cause its a soft bone'...and in my head I was like 'Ohhhh......maybe soft bone isn't all that serious....no wonder not so painful also'...well, what she said made sense to me anyway....and she said whether I wanted to be admitted and I said 'No' since it wasn't an emergency case. So I went home lah....and YES!!! WITH A BROKEN NOSE!!!

When I got home I continued to put ice on my nose and finally I had a chance to look at my nose....and it didn't look all that bad lah....despite my nose being senget and I look a bit weird...it didn't look all that bad. But of course I wanted it back in its original position lah...:P I don't want to look cacat for the rest of my life....haha..I still want to be a bit pretty bah....with my senget nose I look a bit like the 'Beast' in Beauty and the Beast :P

Oh yah....my daughter and my hubby did come by Columbia to see how I was and my daughter was so scared to come close to me....she was so traumatise by the fact that I couldn't give her our usual night "Eskimo Kiss", where we rub noses together :). Poor girl.... Anyway, when I got home, my daughter just couldn't stop asking me questions about my nose...she went on and on and on and then repeated the question again as if I didn't give her an answer the first time round....wah!!! can be very irritating when you are in that situation!!!

The next day...I went in to the clinic at 8.30am without having any breakfast whatsoever as I knew I would most probably need to go for surgery and that means I need to not eat for more than 8 hours I think or is that 6??? Admitted myself into Columbia and I went in for surgery at 11am. The people in the Operating Theater was like "You again??? macam regular customer saja you"...and I was like "Hahaha....I don't see you all in town bah...and I miss you all, so I come back in here to see you all again lah..hahaha". Well, that was supposely suppose to be funny lah...and they did laugh as well. Even the anaesthetion knew who I was....sad case lah....I should get some kind of special discount for using the place so often :P. If you follow my blog you would have recalled me going for a surgery in Dec for my ectopic pregnancy. Anyway, the anaesthetision said "You know what to expect hoh" and I said "Yups"....what's new in my life these days anyway :P. In a short span of time, I have already been through 4 surgery under General Anesthetic....sad or not??? This round was my 5th time :P

I even have a friend who works in the Operating theater and he even sempat show me a picture of his wife and his two beautiful children...hahaha...while I was waiting for the doctor to come....:P That's the wonders of being in Miri.....almost everybody also you know :D.

I came out of the Operating Theater around 12.30noon. Doctor told me that it only took him like 5 minutes to push the bone back in place....but I think I was under Anaesthetic for a longer period of time. I checked out of Columbia at 4pm...and during that time a few of my friends came to visit...again I have to say I'm so blessed to have such beautiful friends :D

Today when he took out the bandage he told me that my nose looks good and straight and that he didn't do any damage to it. And then he explain to me that he basically used a tool (which I'm assuming would look something like a plyer) and use brute force to push the bone back into place....eeeeeeewwwwwww...............sounds disgusting....well, I'm glad its all over now and my nose looks like it was before....and like I said before it surprisingly didn't hurt!!!

Hey! I just realised....I didn't get back the X-ray of my nose!!! The doc said he will get it for me...but I think he must have forgotten about it too....sigh...maybe I should check with Columbia later on whether they still have my X-ray....would be a great souvenir for me to keep...hahaha....its not everyday that someone breaks a nose....kan???

And while I had the bandage on my nose....I so had the urge to where a sign that says "I broke my nose!!! I didn't go through plastic surgery!!!" cause everywhere I go people just stared!!! Only people I know would ask and I would have to explain myself...haha....over and over again :P. And my daughter was very cute as well, this is what she said to me "Mummy cannot send me to class...hehehe....cause afterwards my teacher laugh at you....hahahaha...mummy nose broken, hahaha". Well, at least she thought it was funny :P

This was given to me by the SKO ladies....you ladies are so sweet. You all didn't have too but thank you so much!!! My daughter loves it!!!

That's my daughter with the pink bear and with my dear friend Mas!

Oh well, am so glad its over.....that's my story!!!! Interesting or not??? Will write about my 10km run tomorrow and I hope by then my sister would have put up her picture already!!!! :P Jess, if your reading this....hurry up already!!! ;)

Ta for now!!!

2 More Days to the Run!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

2 More Days to the Run!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! (Hmmmm...I seem to be doing a lot oh 'Ahhhhhhh's' lately...hahaha...I don't even know why I put myself through all this unnecessary stress, and mind you, it's a self added on stress....so unnecessary I tell you...hahaha...and yet I can't help it...I'm competitive what! And competitive people just can't help it.....kan??? kan??? :P) BUT there is good news for me!!! Our netball tournament schedule is out and we are only playing on Saturday!!! THANK GOD!!!

I only realise how desperately I wanted the netball tournament to be a one day event when I woke up at 3am this morning to go to the toilet. My whole body was exhausted after I did my 10.4km run yesterday evening. You must be wondering why so alang-alang 10.4km...well apparently one round of taman bulatan equals to 800 meters...meaning that by doing 13 rounds (and almost dying I might say) I ran 10.4km.

And at 3am in the morning I was wondering to myself, how on earth am I going to continue playing netball after the 10km run on that Sunday morning. Was so relief when I found out that it has change to a one day event. Phew!!! God sure did answer my prayer once again!!! Thank you Lord!!!

Well, after yesterdays jog, at least now I know I'm able to complete the run without stopping...I'm just hoping that I'll be able to do it below the 1 hour mark. Yesterday I timed myself and I did 10.4km in 1 hour. Meaning that after doing some calculations....I should be able to do 10km in 57minutes. Well, lets see how it goes....as long as I finish it below 1 hour I'll be happy :D.

The sad part to this whole jogging and netballing (if there is such a word) is that my tapak of my asics shoes looks like its going to come off!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! So not the right timing!!! Well, I could be over exaggerating here as its just a small part of the tapak that doesn't stick to the shoe....but who knows right??? What if during the run my tapak come out!!! That will be a serious nightmare lah!!! I better go buy super glue later and stick that small part that is not sticking to the tapak. And that super glue better be super!!!!

Oklah...that's it from me!!! My next blog will be about my run and my netball tournament!!! Can't wait for the run to be over.....hopefully my hubby will come along to take some pictures :D. Btw, tapak means sole of the shoes...:) I sometimes get carried away mixing Malay with English ;)

Ta for now!!!

I'm in DENIAL!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

AHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I'm in DENIAL!!!!!

Sighhhh.....I like to think I'm not competitive when it comes to running or jogging or whatever you call it. I like to think that the runs I join are just for fun and for the name of charity. But I also like to think that I'm one of the fittest ladies in Miri which therefore overrides the first two sentences that I've written.

Do you get what I mean??? Am I making sense??? Well, what I'm trying to say is that, even though I like to think I'm not competitive, I AM!!! When it comes to the amount of stamina I have, I seriously don't like to lose.....unfortunately...physically, me and my stamina don't really go hand in hand. Sigh....so what next??? Well, I'm going to convince myself that this Sunday's Run for Charity will be a run that I will be running for fun!!! I'll just have to repeat this to myself....

"Jacq! You are running for the sake of charity, run at your own pace!!! If you don't win it's ok!!! SERIOUSLY ITS OK!!!!"

Probably need to repeat it like a 10,000 times for it to sink in....sigh...but then again I'll be in denial pulak!!!

Hahahaha....oh well nothing is perfect...never really was the fastest runner around and I'm sure I'll have loads of competitors who would be aiming for the money too. AND I'm POSITIVE this people are in denial just as I am....hahahaha....they are probably saying, 'It's no big deal if I lose..." but when they actually lose, they'll probably be upset and would probably be wondering why in the hell did they wake up so early in the morning for a run and get nothing out of it.....hahaha....that would be exactly how I would be feeling if I didn't win anything at all....:P Well, I am being honest :P

I was talking to my sister yesterday about the run and she said 'If it's God's will that we win, then we will, if not we just run for fun lah..." If that's the case, maybe I should start praying more and jogging less....hahaha...:P Well, I think my sister is in denial as well....knowing her she is way more competitive than me...hoh Jess??? ;) You always were!!! Just like DAD! So you can stop being in denial already...hahaha :P

So the conclusion is that, I'll just keep my pace and not stop running and hope for the best. I hope it won't be so hot and I hope my MP3 player does not die on me. But honestly speaking I'm not hoping to win the first place....I just want to win something....hahaha...8th placing pun jadi...at least got RM100...I think...haha...better than nothing kan???

Oklah....being upset now doesn't really help anyway, since its still like 4 days away...hahaha....don't even know why I'm stressing about it now....I have to blame it on some of my colleagues who are running too.....they sure are competitive and super fit and have so much stamina....adalah I jealous juga.......and though they say or think that they are running for the fun of it, I'm sure they are in it to win too :P

I wish I could be one of those ladies who seriously just do it for fun...where they jog and walk and chit chat with their friend all the way to the finish line...so nice kan??? :P

Well, that's life!!! And that's it from me.....TA for now!!!

We WON the first Netball Tournament!!! TWO MORE TO GO!!! :P

WE WON!!!! WOOHOOO!!!! Hahahaha.....its so unbelievable and I'm still in shock that we won :P It's been over 2 years since we formed this team with some people leaving and some new comers coming in. And throughout those years we have never been champions....never ever!!! So it came as a shock to me when we won!!! (All photographs in here are courtesy of FARAH!!! The beautiful lady with the big smile in dark blue shirt below...thanks babe!!!! What will we all do without you!!! We will probably be photoless!!! ;))

That's us!!!

It was a super close match and the Brunei Shell team were one hell of a competitor!!! My salute goes to them!!! When we first played with them we tied 13 - 13!!! We were leading very closely in the first 2 quarter but the last 2 quarter they kick ass!!! :P

That's the score when we first tied with Brunei Shell Team...

Then by some miracle, we made it to the Finals!!! It could be our new name as 'KRP Lutongs' (Lutong is a kind monkey, and that is where Lutong (which is in Miri) got its name from) or it could be our Blue bibs that we wore :P. We call it our lucky bibs!!! Hahaha...never knew we were all so superstitious....hahaha....am thinking that the reason why we won is because we put our whole heart and soul into the Final game!!! Don't you think Ladies??? Not even sure if you girls are reading this. But anyway, I think we all did a good job. The Final game was with the Brunei Shell Team again and we won by a mere 2 points!!! Again we were leading the first 2 quarters but kinda fell back on the 3rd Quarter and somehow manage to pull through on the 4th quarter :D. We won by 15 - 13. Well, another reason why we could have won is because we had supporters....thank God for them...:D.

That's the score when we won!!!

Our lucky Blue 'Bibs'...don't ask me why there is a red one in this picture....hahaha...so kesian and so alone...:P

Oh well, enough of me babbling on about this particular netball tournament. We still have two more tournaments to go and one 10km run ahead of me which will be this Sunday...and after last Saturdays tournament my bum hurts (not so bad now) and my ankle seem to be giving me some trouble. I'll have to take good care of it this week and hope I will somehow manage to win some money from the run so I can buy myself a pair of shoes....hehe...girls can never have enough of shoes.....hmmmm....actually ah....I don't have that many shoes le.....I have like one working shoes, one sports shoes, one snickers, two clogs.....and yup...that's it....compared to many other ladies out there....I'm short on shoes...sniff sniff.....so fingers cross on the run!!! Plus, my car needs to be fixed too with its terrible dent in the front....sigh...don't ask how it happen...sigh....now come to think about it, if I don't win enough money, I'll only be able to fix the car and not get shoes....Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Oh well, and life goes on :D. Oh yah and before I forget, here are some pictures during the game....

Me passing the ball from the center....probably to the GA (Syl)....I'm hoping I'm passing it right cause I can't seem to see anyone else in this picture....:P

That's our beautiful Enn the GS shooting....phheeewwiiitttt...nampak perut mem!!! :P And our beautiful Sylvia the GA looking on....

Hahaha....in normal circumstance with my face like that, I wouldn't put it up in my blog...but this is one weird picture where everybody seem to have missed the ball and I'm running like mad too grab it....:P The yellow C is from the Brunei Team...a very pretty lady I must say and so full of energy....

That's super jumping lady AKA Spiderwoman AKA GD AKA Jan Nie!!! "I believe I can fly!!! I believe I can touch the sky!!!" Then on the right we have Martina our super defence GK, guarding the GS!!! Good on you Mar!!!

Another Flyer!!! Our WA Andrea!!!

Me trying to fly...but not very effective...

Not a very interesting pose to be in...but was probably fouled cause I happily bang into her :P Sorry lady :) And Martina our super defence GK looking on....

I think I can get it...I think I can!!!! Hahaha...not sure whether I did...this just proves I'm not a very good jumper neither am I a flyer :P Syl is probably saying "Jacq, you can do it!!! GET THE BALL!!!" hahaha...:P

And finally everybody who joined in the tournament and made it a success!!! We have the Immigration team in RED, we have the Prison staff in WHITE, We have the PBC Crocs in BLUE sleevless, we have one Gustolads in Black Tudung, we have the Brunei Shell Team in BLCK, and us KRP Lutongs in PURPLE.... Thank you all for making it a success!!!

Oklah...that's it from me.....and wish me all the best!!!

TA for now!!! Hugs and kisses till tomorrow!!!!

Trying to Cope with the WORLD!!!

Yesterday I only manage to do an 8km run and I was already feeling very exhausted. I think I'm over working myself with exercise. Well what else can I do??? I have the netball tournament and our practice is on Tuesday and Thursday, then I have the 10km race coming up and the end of the month and I really need to build stamina. Sigh...we seriously don't have enough days in a week.

My week goes something like this:

Monday: Jog - 5km
Tuesday: Netball
Wednesday: Jog 10km which I couldn't yesterday :(
Thursday: Netball
Friday: Day Off
Saturday: Jog 10km
Sunday: Day Off

For the Saturday and Sunday Off, it will only be for this week. If you've been following my blog, you'll know that next weekend onwards (for 3 consecutive weeks) it will be pack with netball. So I think next week I need to reschedule my whole week so that I have some rest days. If I continue doing what I'm doing, I'll probably get some kind of leg injury. Sigh...fingers cross that that doesn't happen. So maybe my schedule should be something like this:

13th -19th July
Monday: Jog 10km
Tuesday: Netball
Wednesday: Jog 12km
Thursday: Netball
Friday: Day Off
Saturday: Netball Tournament
Sunday: Netball Tournament

20th - 26th July
Monday: Jog 12km
Tuesday: Netball
Wednesday: Jog 12km
Thursday: Netball
Friday: Day Off
Saturday: Run at 6am then Netball Tournament
Sunday: Netball Tournament

27th July - 02nd August
Monday: Day Off
Tuesday: Netball
Wednesday: Day Off
Thursday: Netball
Friday: Day Off
Saturday: Netball Tournament
Sunday: Netball Tournament

The last weekend will be the most relaxing one.

And lately I've been eating a lot cause I seem to be hungry all the time. My body is probably telling me to slow down...don't you think? In the days I exercise, I'm usually drench wet with sweat....and after I take a shower, I'm still sweating that I need to change my baju again....like yesterday, I changed my baju twice!!!

Will probably be pretty FIT when it is all over. But for now, I'm sniffling....that's not a good sign and its raining outside. Can't get sick now...not a good time to be sick. Sigh....need to consume more Vitamin C!!! Plus I have cravings to eat Nasi lelapan...hahaha....dunno why :P

I guess that's it from me!!! Ta for now!!! Oh wait! I just found out that our netball practice is off today!!! WOOHOO!!! At least I can have my day off today and try for a longer jog tomorrow. See you guys!!! Off to our new team welcoming drinking session ;) TA again!!!

NETBALL CRAZE HERE I COME!!! WOOHOO!!!

I think this was taken last year when I still had my long hair. Can't even recall when was the last time I had long hair. Due to my genetic background, I'm a very short person (this would definitely be an understatement if I was born in the Western world, if I was born there, I would be considered very very the short lah!!! BOOHOOO!!!) the only position I can play would be Center and WA...boohoo again!!! But nevertheless, I love being in the Center position or being WA, it fits me pretty well I must say :D

I just found out today that we are going to have 3 netball tournaments for 3 weekends in a row!!! WOOHOO!!! It's like a netball craze!!! hahaha....sure by the end of the last game our team will all kaput and super FIT and probably not want to play netball for a couple of months....:P TIRING BAH!!! I think for those of you who are not from Miri or never have been here before, would probably say "Wah! this people in Miri sure got nothing else better to do" :P but I could be wrong :P

The tournament dates goes something like this:

KRP Pre-Merdeka Netball Tournament

18th - 19th July 2009

KSK Tournament

26th - 27th July 2009

Nameless Tournament (we just got the invite, so no name yet :))

01st - 02nd August 2009

And its usually two full days!!! That is if we are good lah :P From my point of view, I think we are quite ok eh. I mean from the very first time we were together until now, we have improve a lot!!! You should have seen us the first time!!! Half the time we were laughing in the game, cause half the time we were losing the ball and the ball keeps rolling away from us!!! At that point of time I was beginning to think that the ball had a mind of its own!!! :P. But now, we have much better control of the ball :)

Anyway, the worst part to this is that for the KSK tournament, I have my 10km run at 6am on the 2nd day of the game!!! AIYOYOYOYO!!! I'm just hoping I'll be able to build up enough energy and stamina to be able to keep up with both the 10km and the tournament. Well its probably not as bad as it seems since we have back-up players as well....so I could probably skip the first game of that morning :D. Plus, did I mention my sister is doing the 10km run as well??? I think I did in one of my email. I really can't wait for the run. It would be nice to run with my sister after so long....won't be surprise if I get left behind :P.

Oklah...that's it from me....Ta for now!!! NETBALL CRAZE HERE I COME!!! WOOHOO!!!

This was during the Highlanders Games Carnival this year (June)....look at all the pretty girls ;)

P/S. You probably have no idea how much I love this game. My life priority goes something like this, GOD first, FAMILY second & NETBALL!!! ;)

Heartbroken on Sunday :(

That Sunday morning I woke up to my 3.5 year old daughter kissing me on my cheek and saying 'I love you mummy'. That was like 7am in the morning. It was a beautiful way to wake up to, but I was still tired and wanted to sleep. So I told my daughter I love her too and told her that mummy still wanted to sleep. So she decided she would do some colouring with my MIL. In the process of colouring she came to me and kiss me again and told me that she wanted me to colour in her book after I woke up. I said 'ok!' and close my eyes again.

Then at 9am I decided that its time to wake up, so I got up and went straight to the toilet. She forgot that she wanted me to colour and so did I. So after showering and in the process of getting ready to go to church, she came into the room and said to me or more like scream at me. The conversation went like this:

Daughter: 'MOMMY!!!! YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO COLOUR FIRST BEFORE YOU DIUK!!!' (Diuk in Kelabit is Bath)

Me: Sorry dear, but mummy already mandi, let mummy get ready first to go to church then I will colour with you

Daughter (Screaming and crying): NO!!! YOU HAVE TO COLOUR FIRST BEFORE YOU DIUK!!!

Me: But I already mandi, there is nothing I can do already...

Daughter(Crying hysterically and screaming at the same time saying): NO!!! YOU HAVE TO COLOUR FIRST BEFORE YOU DIUK!!!

Me (Shouting): WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!! IF YOU CONTINUE LIKE THIS, MOMMY LEAVE YOU AT HOME AH!!!!

Daughter (Crying and shouting): YOU SAID YOU WILL COLOUR FIRST!!!!

Me: AIYO!!!! SORRY LAH!!!! I COLOUR LATER!!! LET MUMMY GET READY FIRST!!!

Daughter: I WANT YOU TO COLOUR FIRST!!!

Me: SERA!!! YOU STOP THAT AH!!! MUMMY BEAT YOU AFTERWARDS AH!!!!

Daughter: I WANT YOU TO COLOUR FIRST BAHHHH!!!

So I surrendered and was super annoyed, so I went out to colour that paper that she wanted me to colour. While doing that I didn't even say a word to her. After I finished I went back into the room to get ready again. Of course my daughter came in as well with me. And the conversation continues:

Daughter: Mummy I want you to colour the other picture also...

Me (being very irritated with her): WAIT BAH!!! AFTERWARDS WE ALL WON'T BE ABLE TO GET TO CHURCH BECAUSE OF YOU!!!

Daughter obviously started crying...

ME (getting more irritated by that time): STOP IT SERA!!!

Daughter (Crying): Mummy I kiss you this morning bah and say I love you, why you Bu'uh-bu'uh me... (Bu-uh in Kelabit means scold)

Wah! At that moment I felt like I was the most terrible mom in the history of moms!!! I immediately put down what I was doing and carried her and gave her a big hug and said I was sorry. My heart broke into tiny pieces!!! It was so heartbreaking!!! I couldn't believe I could have been so mean to her. I apologies to her and told her that I was in a bad mood that morning, and you know what she said:

Daughter: It's ok mummy, you bad mood...

And we both hug and said 'I love YOUs' and she gave me the hugest of smiles....and I gave her many many kisses...

Sigh....I sure as hell will never forget that day....the day my heart broke into small pieces...but with her smile and ok she glued it all back again....

The worst part to it was "It was a Sunday, a day where I shouldn't even have gotten angry with her' I had to ask God for his forgiveness for losing my temper that morning. But (yes, I'm trying to justify myself a little bit here :P) sometimes kids can be so unreasonable with their demands. Don't you think so???

Well, for one thing I'm sure of is that I can't live without her. She's my little angel and on that day, she made me realise that sometimes all you need is more patience and love. Both of which I'm struggling to have more of.

That's it from me aka the terrible mom :( ....ta!

Mir Star Cineplex, AIYO!!! PARTY tonight, WOOHOO!!! PTI, AIYO!!!

My feedback on the movie, well, it was pretty good!!! Would definitely watch it a second time :D. If you don't follow my blog and have no clue what movie I'm talking about, look at my previous blog. Oh yah, and THANKS FOR DROPPING BY!!!! Really appreciate it!!! ;)

My feedback on the Star Cineplex in Miri, AIYO!!!! Hahaha...that's overstating it lah. Its not that bad....only problem was that during the movie, there are some parts where the sound system was just horrible!!! You couldn't really hear them talking, they were more like mumbling!!! You know how when people get drunk and they can't talk properly....like that LAH! And there are some parts when the sound just disappeared. I know that I should have watched it the first few days when it first came out so that everything would be close to perfect.

But still!!! That's not a good excuse for us who goes a week after and pay the same amount RM10 and get worse quality!!! Shouldn't they have more than one movie roll??? Takkan they play the same one over and over again. It's no wonder some movie rolls burn up!!! At least charge us RM8 kah..so we won't complain so much!!! True or not??? And you know how much they charge for kids!!! RM8!!! and my daughter it only 3.5 years old!!! Cannot charge RM5 kah??? Well, I guess they want to make profit...can't really blame them either!!! If only we had another Cineplex in Miri, then there will probably be some kind of price competition. Like AirAsia and MAS lah....always have price competition!!! Kan bagus if that happens to our Cineplex as well. Then Star Cineplex would pay more attention to the quality of their Cineplex and give the kids a cheaper price!!!

Anyway, despite all that, I'm going to go catch 'Ice Age 3'...Woohoo!!! Hahaha, I know you must be thinking, 'What lah this girl, never learn!!!'....hahaha....in this case...'yups!!! I never learn one!!!' Plus the fact that I'm very forgiving one!!! :P Hehehe...and its fun bah....despite all the downside to the star cineplex :P I'm just hoping I get luckier this time around and the movie roll will be close to perfect!!! Fingers cross again!!!

And if you are the owner of the Star Cineplex and you are reading my blog by some miracle, could you please fix chair H7. Its slowing falling down...thanks!!!

Talking about chairs falling down in the Cineplex...there was a time when me and my friend went to watch a movie (which I can't recall) and we were given the new Cineplex on top (compared to the ones below, it was definitely new!). We were excited lah!!! Cause it was the first time we were going up there. I was impress with the layout and all and I told my friend about it. We both agreed.

So in we when to find our seats. I sat first and let my friend in to sit next to me. And as she sat, she disappeared with a THUD!!! And I couldn't help it but start laughing, cause her seat just fell apart!!! Of course in the process of laughing, I somehow manage to say "Aiyo! kesian you!!!" The good thing to it all was, she was laughing too!!! And she didn't get hurt :D Of course we immediately call the workers there and told them we are taking the other seats. The workers there couldn't believe it too!!! Thank goodness it wasn't full house on that day!!! So much for expecting the new part of the Cineplex to be better than the old one!!! Moral of the story...never judge a book by its covers :P.

Anyway, tonight I'm going out to P-A-R-T-Y!!! It's my friend's birthday and I haven't been out for ages so I think I'm going to have a blast!!! Skali see, boring skali me and wishing I was in bed pulak! I think when that happens, that will be the day I will officially declare that I'm OLD!!! AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh TIDAK!!!! I'm FOREVER YOUNG!!! Geeezzz...now I have this song in my head, "Forever Young, I want to be forever young....."

Ohhhhh...I almost forgot that I have a Parents-Teachers-Interview (PTI) tomorrow at 9.10am!!! I hope the teacher says nice things about my daughter....:P. Well, that's the least of my worries for now, I'm more worried that I won't be able to wake up!!! Better set my phone alarm now just in case...wait ah....ok done!!! I put it at 8.30am....ohhh....let me check whether I got the am and the pm right...if not tonight at 8.30pm I'll be hearing my alarm go off and wondering what that alarm is for...knowing me, I can be very the Short Term Memory....ok, I go check first...matilah me if salah....wait again ah....ok...got it right...it's at 8.30am :D. Enough time for me to jump out of bed, get ready, and take panadol if my head is pounding due to hang over!!! Ada nanti instead of going to my daughters school, I drive all the way to work....Kuang Kuang Kuang!!! Hahaha....:P

Ok...I'm talking nonsense now.....will stop! :P

So for those who are going clubbing tonight...happy partying!!! And happy weekend to everyone else!!!

Ta!!!
