It's All About The Experience

Now I Can Go Green
Aug 22nd
Dear Savvy, thank you for serving me all these while. You’ve been a faithful car. Hope you’re not harmed (too much) in the process of being violated by thieves who deserved to be strucked by Zues’s most brain-frying lightning.
In the memory of AFR 6653 & my new shade & my fav red.fm CD compilation….sob
I know this does not to do justice, but that’s the closest resemblance to my Savvy. If you’ve seen it, please contact me. If you want to buy the number, go ahead and please ‘belanja’ me if you strike it.
In the wake of this incident, now I can truly go green. I don’t have to exhume toxic gases while stuck in the jam anymore. Now void of paying for petrol and parking, I can save more. Plus don’t have to worry about car breaking down or being knocked for whatever reason. So I guess it’s not all that bad. But I’m regretfully sorry to Mum & Sis that it got whisked away. Sorry Sorry. So so sorry.
For the time being, I have gotten a super bike…
Okay..it might not be that a super bike but I’m liking it. Bought it together with LED blinking light and a lock. Thanks Ginn for getting me around. New hobby?…hmm maybe. Today when I rode, I get to see more sights and sounds. Religiously attending RPM classes have been useful. FIY we score about 20-25km of varied terrain in one class, but of course sans the danger of the road. Great and I promise to be careful. Please do not worry about me too much (you know who you are).
How’s that for going green now? lol
Shrimp Off
Jul 20th
I’ve gotta admit that eating a lot has been my forte, but eating fast is somewhat unattested. Last Saturday I finally had a chance to put it to test in Red FM shrimp off challenge at Bubba Gump, Sunway Piramid.
I was driving home and as usual tuned to evening drive with Terry on Red FM enjoying the songs while waiting for the 60k music takeaway cue to sms. And as usual, there were other on-going contests and invites that you can part take – so one was this shrimp off challenge. I smsed in and bleeps later, Terry called saying I’m one of the contestants. Few songs afterwards, my conversation with Terry was played over the radio. I must say, hearing your own voice is weird… lol… I sounded like a kid.
but i digress….
So, the day had come. Most of the contestants wanted to be in JD’s team thinking that being big means big eater too. Since I never underestimated being small, I sided Terry, along with few other underdogs.
Meg who initially was just accompanying me found herself dragged into Terry’s team too. Haha… And the challenge begins – first among contestants in groups of two.
JD’s Team
VS
Terry’s Team
After the rules explained, shouting and booing exchanged, the chow down started…
Each with a bucket of shrimp and the one who got the most weight difference in 60sec will be the winner.
Surprisingly, the girls did quite well too and on Terry’s side, I was the one with most weight difference. Since it was only a point difference between me and the other guy on JD’s side, we battled it out in another round – this time in 30sec. The one who wins will get a RM100 Bubba Gump voucher. That’s enough a motivation for me but unfortunately, I lost! nooooo! All the while, the advice shouted at my ears like I was deaf was “squeeze the butt!!!”. OMG…. sorry guys, I should have squeezed harder. lol
Next was Terry and JD’s turn to settle their score.
Terry!! Your turn to squeeze the butt!
Disgusting JD
Finally, who’s the shrimp king?
The retarded JD! He must have cheated. Nevertheless, thank you and Dilly for making me laugh every morning.. Hehe.
For the fun and good sport, we were all given goodie bag.
The best of the lot – the late night love songs compilation! Haven’t got the chance to play it though cause my PC has finally KO-ed after the occasional hiccups that worsened everytime I switched it on. The shirt is cute, but way too sexy for me. urgh! Last but not least, Bubba Gump voucher worth RM30! Yeehaa.. anyone wants to join me for seafood now?
Generous June
Jun 29th
Lady luck must have been on my side as I was blessed with many kind offerings in the second half of June. I saved substantially mainly from meals. Not only that they were free, they were gastronomically satisfying as well. Ain’t my tummy happy? lol.. Heck I even won a book from a contest by Red.fm which I never intentionally meant to participate.
First off…CHI had small little parties for the Les Mills’ second quarter releases.
CHI is more than just a place to keep fit. From the staff to instructors to the friends that I’ve met, they have all added a personal touch in my life.
Then…for all the sugar rush that kept my glucose level high in the mornings and evenings.
The the warm dinner on a cold night at ‘The Apartment‘
The very appetizing clam and mussel dish is a must-try.
IYD appreciation cum Jasmina farewell poolside partey~~
FRHAM even gave gifts to those who volunteered. Free food + gift..man..couldn’t ask for more. What I should have packed more is my favourite spaghetti! Should have packed 5 packs. haha… now now.. I shouldn’t be greedy hor… I miss the lamb too.
Lastly, the books…
Nurse bought me a book entitled Taming The Tiger. Didn’t she know I’m already a tame tiger? haha. Anyway she said it was an impulsive purchase because when she sees the word ‘tiger’ she thought of me. aawwww… The book was signed by the author too, who was there to launch it. Not exactly J.K. Rowling, but thank you so much!
Now here’s a spooky story. Michael Jackson came to visit on his first dead anniversary, in a form of a book! Lol.. Here’s what happened – I was, few weeks ago, went to Red.fm webpage to check out Ally’s review on Ecoba. While at it, I saw some contest links and decided to just check what was on. And since June was the month of MJ’s untimely death, Red.fm was giving away his autobiography, which, according to the cover page, his one and only. Two weeks later, someone called to say that I’ve got it! All it took was a simple question and a sentence that I completed in less than a minute. I don’t even quite remember what I’ve wrote in the ‘complete the sentence’ part anymore. I collected the book on the 25th, the date that MJ died last year.
Thank you all
Looking forward to badminton competition in July…
Do I still have what it takes to win?
