CritiQue

It's OUT!!!

.

.

I guess for it's first issue, it's not too bad la, except that I still don't get why they had to choose who they did for the front cover. Not really one of my favs. And not a very good move especially for the very first issue, y'know what I mean. Oh well...

.

It doesn't really come across as a lifestyle magazine though.

I feel that the colours aren't bright enough, everything's like gray and white - BORING.

Looks more like The Edge than a lifestyle magazine.

But it's new and I'm sure they'll improve as more and more issues are out.

.
.

I should have submitted a nicer picture of myself though.

This one looks terribly awful!

I look mad.

.
.

My very own article!!!

.
.

So remember, first two issues are free and are available at all Coffee Beans!

Go pick yours up today....

Of dead fishes, cute dogs, singing maid and CRITIQUE!!!

Last week, I bought Renee a fighting fish.

It died last night.

And I didn't even have time to take a picture of it =(

.

Today, I went to the pet store nearby to see if I could get Renee another one.

They don't sell fishes there.

But I saw this one dog. So OMG cuuuuuuute!!!

It's a grey and white miniature chi-hwa-hwa.

Only 2 months plus old.

Female.

Going for ONLY RM980!!!

I soooooooooo soooooooooooo soooooooooooooo absolutely wanna get it!!!

But will have to discuss with hubby first.

And hubby sure say "NO!" wan =(

But still, if I don't try, I won't know.

So....*fingers crossed*....

.

My maid is singing in an irritating high-pitched voice to Renee right now.

Indonesian songs.

And it's annoying me to the very core of my bones.

Should I stop her?

But I don't want her to feel like she can't even sing to Renee.

And not like she knows any English rhymes.

Imagine her singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is super high-pitched Indon slang mewling noise.

But it IS irritating me.

So how? What to do?

.

On another note, CRITIQUE will be out in Coffee Beans from tomorrow onwards!!!

The first 2 issues are free but it will be available in news-stands nationwide from Jan '10 onwards.

Be sure to grab your free copy when you see it cos yours truly here has her very own FOOD column in it.

It's a monthly magazine, so watch out for my monthly gastronomic adventures...I promise you nothing but PURE fun!!!

The river that wanted to be a pond

Before we bought this place, we asked the developer if the river flowing in front will flood should there be days of continuous rain and they very confidently GUARANTEED that it wouldn't flood at all. In fact, I quote "The river was built to PREVENT floods".

.

see, we have water-trees

.

Well, last week, I had to rush off to SJMC for some private & confidential reasons (PLEASE DON'T ASK MY WHY) and after spending the whole afternoon there, I came home to find this!

.

even the walkway is down under

.

My river has turned into a POND!!!

.

Wtf guarantee no flood river to prevent flood nonsense??!!!

.

It wasn't even raining like for the whole morning and afternoon lorr. It was only raining cats & dogs for like less than 3 hours, and the river went over the brim.

.

that's the bench I always sit on to cut Renee's nails...it's a water-bench now

.

Can you imagine what I would have come home to if it rained the whole morning and afternoon??? I would have come home to NOTHING. My home would be gone! Flowed away with the currents on the flood prevention river.

.

Hubby called the developers and fucked them up upside down inside out and you know what was their measly reply??? "We are discussing how to overcome this problem now".

.

Wah, by the time you're done discussing, I'll have my very own indoor swimming

pool lorr.

MURDER!

Did anyone read the news about a baby's head found in the trash, body missing, suspected to have been mauled or eaten by dogs?

.

http://nst.com.my/articles/20091102193958/Article/

.

Gosh! I am so bloody angry with the person who did that to their own child! I won't even refer to her as the 'mother' because no mothers in this world would do that to their own baby!

.

I wonder how you felt when you saw the news about YOUR baby's head being found in the dump, body missing because it was eaten by dogs.

.

For your good, you better seriously hope to hell that the baby was already dead before the dogs ripped it apart, cause when you're in hell (which is DEFINITELY where you'll be going), you would want to be dead too before your head is ripped apart by huge savage beasts over and over and over and over again.

.

But if baby wasn't dead yet and instead was shivering in the cold, starving, surrounded by smelly stinky garbage, being bitten little by little by red ants, totally defenseless, before finally having the dogs come and end it's misery in a snap WITH a snap, I curse you to the MOST TRAGIC DEATH EVER!

.

Not that I don't already curse you, you sick excuse for a woman, but I curse you such a tragic death that you will feel it even after when you're in hell. I hope your body rots away slowly but surely, and each piece that rots away causes you extremely excruciating pain that no amount of painkillers can cure and you can't even kill yourself to escape the pain. And when you finally do succumb to death, it will happen all over again. And each time the process repeats itself, it will be a hundred times worse than before.

.

Hmph! See how you like throwing away your baby just like that again!

.

I seriously don't get it lorr.

I mean, I understand if you're scared or something, but then, during the throes of passion, never think arr? Never occurred to you that this is something that COULD happen meh? Even contraceptions are only 99% safe. And then, when you do get pregnant, instead of being responsible, you KILL your child, the MOST INNOCENT life in the picture.

.

Where's the logic in that???!!!

.

And even if the baby was a result of you getting raped, you shouldn't take out your anger on the baby lorr. The least you could do was put the baby at someone's doorstep, and then run and hide and keep a watch until you know the baby is in safe hands.

.

So stupid!

.

No matter how educated or well-brought up a person is, the minute she does something like that, be it throwing your baby in the garbage, or leaving the baby at the side of the road, or even abortion, you are NOTHING. You are worse than nothing.

.

URGH!!! I TOTALLY HATE....FUCKING HATE....PEOPLE LIKE THAT!

.

I don't know how you can go on with life after doing something like that to your own child, how you can continue living everyday pretending that you never committed a murder.

.

But one thing I DO know, you won't have an easy time on judgement day, THAT'S FOR SURE!

Okay.....B.R.E.A.T.H.E.........

.

Anyways, there's something weird happening to me. The whole right side of my body, from waist downwards, is aching in places here and there. My right hip bone when I bend. My right knee when I kneel. My right ankle when I walk. Hell, there's even an ulcer on the right side of my tongue.

.

Now how weird is that.

.

What's happening? This is so scary.

It's like I really getting old.

Sigh...some things even I just can't deny.

I had a dream, a song to sing...

Last night, I had a dream.

In it, I was holding my precious second child.

She was beautiful.

Thick black hair and huge dark eyes (totally opposite from my first born).

And....she had a name...

.

.

.

.

.

We called her...

.

...Cadence...
