			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got back from my long-abandoned so-called power walk. This time, Bunny and I went to <strong>Taman Rekreasi Bukit Jalil.</strong> That place is beautiful! Lots of food and drink vendors waiting at the entrance as well &#8211; which is good lah, coz I can buy drinks after the walk.</p>
<p>This is somewhere near the park&#8217;s entrance:</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/taman-rekreasi-bukit-jalil.jpg'</center><br />
<center>And yes, that&#8217;s fatty me in the picture&#8230;</center></p>
<p><Br>Bunny brought along the camera today, by the way. So the walk was pretty slow.  <img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/confused.gif' alt=':x' class='wp-smiley' /> I walked waaaaay ahead of him while he happily took photos of the rabbit, kittens (can you believe people actually abandoned their pets here?!! mofos) and monkeys! Perhaps I&#8217;ll post photos of them cute monkeys in my <a href='http://forevertulip.com'>other blog</a> later. </p>
<p>I did jog a bit while Bunny was busy taking photos. I jogged away from him then I jogged towards him. I even mentioned to Bunny how my friend, <a href='http://maslight.blogspot.com'>Massy</a> lost 3kgs from jogging alone! He said, <em>&#8220;Kau dah menganggur 3 years, of course gemuk lah stay at home.&#8221;</em> Cis. I&#8217;m so glad I just got a job and I start tomorrow. I don&#8217;t have to spend my days sitting in front of the computer working on custom graphics while surfing the net for infos on <a href="http://adult-acne.com/">adult acne treatments</a> (not that I need the treatments! :-P). And since I get off from work at 6:00PM, I probably have enough time to jog for an hour before going back home to prepare dinner and do the laundry.</p>
<p>Well, overall it was a great walk. I sweat like a pig, especially when I walked up the what seemed like a thousand flight of stairs! I hope I burned a lot of calories from the walk/jog because as of right now, Bunny is busy preparing for dinner. Makan sedap lagi malam ni. YAY!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Saturday, Bunny went off from work earlier than usual so he took me for a ride around Cheras in the evening. We passed by a raw of Malay stalls selling hawker foods which includes <em>ikan bakar</em> and <em>kerang bakar</em>.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s have some kerang bakar. What say you?&#8221;</em>, he asked.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Sure! Mesti siok ni!&#8221;</em> I replied in excitement.</p>
<p>So we sat at one corner close to the TV. A soccer match was showing &#8211; I think it was MU versus some other team. (am not a football fan so I don&#8217;t know!). We ordered a plate of kerang bakar. When it arrived, Bunny helped me with a few because it was really hot. I must tell you this &#8211; the kerang bakar was delicious!!!! I think I ate more than Bunny that day. The funny part was, he only found out that day that I love kerang bakar. lol</p>
<p>And guess what? We had kerang bakar again yesterday. At the same stall. lol. I even joked at Bunny that I might die of heart attack tonight from high cholesterol. I guess I better start heading for the <a href="http://www.smoothfitness.com">treadmills</a> before that really happens!</p>
<p>Oh by the way, I found the card reader!!!!!!! Maybe soon I can post some photos in this boring blog already lah. Hihihihi~</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Damn, had too much fun (food &#038; drinks) last night.</p>
<p>Right after dinner (I had nasi ayam lagi tu), we went for a little bit of drink &#8211; my favorite beer, Hoegaarden. Manatau sampai that German restaurant and bar, Bunny and my uncle went ahead to order some German sausages &#8211; for pusas konon. Sekali that thing arrived, OH MY GAWD.. sebesar &#8220;anu&#8221; gajah!</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Hoegaarden.jpg'></center><br />
<center>(My brother took this photo. That&#8217;s me in black and do you notice the sausages??)</center></p>
<p><Br>It was so huge that it reminded me of gajah punya &#8220;anu&#8221; yang diberikan <a href="http://www.humangrowthhormone.net/">hgh</a>. LOL!! Even those guys next to our table went <strong>&#8220;Whoaaaa!&#8221;</strong> when the sausages arrived. Bunny and my uncle sheepishly said, <strong>&#8220;Oh.. but it looked tiny in the menu..&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Man.. we had trouble eating them up we end up tapau most of it home.</p>
<p>And I must say this.. I can never look at sausages the same way again!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s raining back in Sabah, at my parents&#8217; place particularly. And some other parts in Sabah, it&#8217;s actually flooding! But here in KL, there was so little rain, so many hot suns! </p>
<p>But not right now. It&#8217;s raining cats and dogs over here.. and I&#8217;m all excited!! I think I&#8217;m gonna do my laundry more often these days &#8211; because I know my laundry activities will induce rain. Hahahaha!</p>
<p>Anyway, for those of you who&#8217;s wondering where am I or what happened to me after that sort-of emo post I made, I&#8217;m doing well actually. I&#8217;m back in KL living a new life with new surroundings, new housemates (yes, I moved to a new place) ..and new partner. Yep, I finally found the love I have been searching for. All credits goes out to The Lord, of course. He was the one who arranged everything. He was the one who made me go through all the pains and sufferings in the World, to prepare me for what He had in store just for me. For that, I am thankful for all the lessons He gave. It made me appreciate my life and myself more. And of course, Him too.</p>
<p>Will tell the stories someday. :-)</p>
<p>By the way, have you visited the National Zoo lately? I went there last week with my partner and it was so much fun! He enjoyed taking photos after photos while I enjoy buying ice creams, foods and drinks. LOL! Seriously, you need A LOT of money with you when visiting places like this. You just couldn&#8217;t stop eating!</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/cin-zn2.jpg'></center><br />
<center> And yeah.. that&#8217;s me, eating Dorayaki while carrying bags of honey, mineral waters.. and who knows what..</center></p>
<p><Br>Well, if you&#8217;re living in Malaysia, particularly in KL area, do take some time to visit our National Zoo. Support our local zoo. Help feed the animals. Hey, you&#8217;ll get a very cute car sticker when you buy the entrance ticket! :-D I pasted mine at the back of my partner&#8217;s car. LOL! (er.. more likely, HE pasted it himself. I only help on the pressing it unto the glass part)</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/cin-zn.jpg'></center></p>
<p><Br>Well, gotta stop now. It&#8217;s still raining heavily outside. I gotta dry my linens, check my <a href="http://www.worldtravelcenter.com/">travel medical insurance</a> (kidding!) and get ready for tonight. My partner&#8217;s performing with his friends at a bar and I&#8217;m supposed to accompany him. Also uncle Richard&#8217;s in town! He might be joining us tonight. Yayness!!!</p>
<p>OK, gotta scoot. God bless ya!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was out jungle trekking yesterday &#8211; and all I can say is:</p>
<p><font size='6.0em'>WOOHOO!!!!</font size></p>
<p>It was like one of the best experience I ever had in my whole life! I went up the hill, down the hill, jungle fruit hunting, river crossings etc. At one point, I actually had to cross a river by walking on small bridge made out of a fallen tree. While everyone else made their way safely to the other side, I accidentally stepped on a rotten branch &#8211; and I fell fashionably into the river! ¬¬</p>
<p>Anyway, nobody brought camera along with them &#8211; which sucks. I didn&#8217;t have my compact camera with me, nor do I want to drag my DSLR along with me. Even our cellphones were left behind because there wouldn&#8217;t be any reception at all. I think. <font size='0.4em'>(I wonder if anyone brought along some <a href="http://www.acnecuresrevealed.net/best-acne-creams.php">blemish acne cream</a> during the trip. LOL)</font size> </p>
<p>Overall, it was a fun trip &#8230;..but I don&#8217;t plan to do it again in the near future. Maybe in a year or two later. Very tiring lah! My body&#8217;s all aching right now, especially on the hip side &#8211; where it landed first when I fell into the river. Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh, I broke a few fingernails along the way. There&#8217;s also a few visible scratches and cuts on my right hand &#8211; thanks to the thorn infested jungle plants and wild pineapples that grows along the paths.</p>
<p>Next time, I&#8217;m taking my cellphone (stuffed inside a water-resistant container, of course) so I could take a few photos to show off. :þ</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was enjoying my meal yesterday when I noticed this kid approaching the old man who was seated in front of me. He was looking over to his right, staring blankly at something. He was in his own world, probably thinking of the funtime he had last night (lol) &#8211; when this kid, placed his hand on the chair beside the old man and said:</p>
<p>&#8220;Excuse me, uncle. Can I have this chair?&#8221;</p>
<p>The old man seemed to be in deep thoughts because he did not respond. I was impressed with how polite the boy was, even though he had already lifted the chair halfway when he asked.. I said to myself, <em>&#8220;Wow, his parents must&#8217;ve thought him well&#8221;</em> ..until a much younger boy (probably his little brother) who was seated behind the old man screamed:<br />
<center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/hullo_boy.jpg' alt='hullo_boy.jpg' /></center></p>
<p><Br>That startled the old man! He turned and gave the boy a nod.</p>
<p>Now that was plain rude of that lil boy&#8230; but it was funny too. Maybe he just didn&#8217;t have the patience. I wanted to laugh my head off, but the old man was looking at me&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got a glittering gold dress from Miss Selfridge last year for New Year. They gave me a beautiful paper bag and I was smitten ever since. Today, I walked past their store again. I remember seeing a cute skirt displayed on their rack last year &#8211; but being out of budget, I didn&#8217;t get to buy it &#8211; so I walked in to find that particular skirt. To my disappointment, it wasn&#8217;t there anymore. And to make things worse, there weren&#8217;t any skirt displayed AT ALL! *sob* CB lah, I should&#8217;ve bought the skirt when I first saw it..</p>
<p>There were a few girls in the store browsing for CNY clothes, I assume. Most of them picked the color <font color="#e00a14"><b>RED</b></font color>, obviously for good luck. I think. And then I thought, <i>Hey, why not get a red top for CNY myself?</i> And quickly I picked the first cute red top I saw. EEK! I look like a huge angpow (red packet)! Returned the red top and picked a black top with a hint of pink.</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/selfridgepattern.jpg' alt='selfridgepattern.jpg' /><br />
<b>HUGE pink flower actually :-P</b></center></p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/selfridgetop.jpg' alt='selfridgetop.jpg' /><br />
<b>Just a simple top lah.. nothing fancy</b></center></p>
<p>Paid RM129 for the top expecting to see another pretty paper bag &#8211; until I saw the cashier put the top into a plastic bag! (Even the lady who paid for RM300+ for her clothes also got a plastic bag)</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/selfridgeplasticbag.jpg' alt='selfridgeplasticbag.jpg' /><br />
<b>Fugly plastic bag!<br />
What am I gonna do with this?<br />
Put on top of my head when I&#8217;m bored??</b></center></p>
<p>I think they&#8217;re only giving away paper bags on special occasions like Christmas. Hey wait, CNY is also an occasion lah!! Apa lah&#8230; cis. Best part is, I am RM129 poorer: all because of my greed for a cute skirt and pretty paper bag. I shall start eating Maggi from tomorrow onward. Hahahaha..</p>
<p>Anyway, since I no longer celebrate CNY, I think the top would be a best excuse to shop for a CNY and Valentine&#8217;s Day top. Heh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I happened to be at Jusco Kepong last week when I stumbled upon this &#8220;showcase&#8221; made by a photography shop which displayed a huge collection of beautifully-taken photos of their clients (and family probably.. hehe) that made me stop to look and almost signing up for a photo shoot session with them. </p>
<p>I managed to control the urge.</p>
<p>Instead, I walked around and met Belle from Beauty and the Beast. *heehee*<br />
Seriously!!!</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/beautynbeast.jpg' alt='beautynbeast.jpg' /></center><br />
I told ya. LOL</p>
<p>It&#8217;s actually one of the background for their photo shoot, but I managed to take a photo of it while the photographer&#8217;s busy taking some shots on a kid, posing in front of him. And that explains why I took the shot from that angle. :-P Curi-curi ambil bah..</p>
<p>Wish I know a carpenter who could actually build my own Beauty and the Beast statue like that. It would be great to have your own Disney characters at home, in your own bedroom, don&#8217;t you think? If only I know someone&#8230;. I&#8217;d probably get him a <a href="http://www.burnstools.com/">festool</a> for Christmas gift too. hehehe..</p>
<p>There wasn&#8217;t much things to see at Jusco tho. No grand Christmas trees nor do they have any breathtaking Christmas deco setup. I think this would be the prettiest tree there..</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/juscoxmastree.jpg' alt='juscoxmastree.jpg' /></center></p>
<p>..which also happened to be one of the backdrop for the photography ad.</p>
<p>Oh well, better than no Christmas tree at all. :-)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hum.. I just woke up from a short nap. Was having a terrible headache from wearing spectacles. I really hate wearing contact lens or my glasses but since I am short sighted, I had to wear them, especially today: Because I went for a movie!</p>
<p><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/mrmagorium.jpg' alt='mrmagorium.jpg' /></p>
<p><b>Mr. Magorium&#8217;s Wonder Emporium</b>. Ooooohh&#8230; this is a beautiful movie. It made me cry again and again and again. Actually I don&#8217;t know how many times I cried, but I remember having tears running down my cheek almost the whole show! Now don&#8217;t get me wrong. This is not a sad movie but it made me cry. I can&#8217;t explain why.. maybe I just miss my childhood. I miss being a child once again.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t watch this movie, you should. Brings your kids or the little ones along too. This is one movie the kids would love. Trust me.. it&#8217;s like a movie for children.. at least I felt that way because I was the only adult in the room watching this show earlier &#8211; except for the parents of the kids lah. LOL</p>
<p>Anyway, I managed to do some &#8220;unexpected&#8221; shopping too. :-P</p>
<p><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/myloots.jpg' alt='myloots.jpg' /></p>
<p>Christmas tree skirt, ribbons, red tote and pyjamas from <a href="http://womensecret.com/">Women&#8217;Secret</a>, mini <a href="http://www.gund.com">Gund</a> teddy bear and a novel. (and there goes my RM300 cash.. >.<)</p>
<p>I know, I know.. I said I'm <a href="http://forevertulip.com/2007/11/confession-of-a-shoppaholic-in-denial/">trying to control myself from over-spending</a>.. but how could I say NO to these?? They are soooo cute!! Especially this one..</p>
<p><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/mynewtote.jpg' alt='mynewtote.jpg' /></p>
<p>I went in and out of the store FOUR times deciding whether or not I should buy the tote, because it was kinda pricey. But deep down, my heart was telling me to go for it: so I bought it. Hehe.. besides, I think it looks cute, especially with the mini purse that comes attached inside of the tote. I can keep coins in that! :-P</p>
<p>And if you think that&#8217;s already spending a lot on unnecessary stuff, wait till you hear what I did next. I went home, tired and headache but still managed to get online and purchased a bottle of Issey Miyake perfume &#8211; because I feel like getting a new one and shopping online was too convenient. I also plan to get a <a href="http://www.ipodjuice.com">new ipod battery</a> for my mini iPod because mine is dying soon. (I&#8217;ll need that iPod for my flight back home next month)</p>
<p>*sigh*</p>
<p>I just canNOT control myself..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you read <a href="http://forevertulip.com">my other blog</a>, you&#8217;d probably read about <a href="http://forevertulip.com/2007/10/got-my-table-lamp/">my latest table lamp</a>. I finally got one after months of stalking people who auctions table lamp on eBay! Hahaha! This is my Lovely Lace table lamp, courtesy of my Sunday splurge at MidValley earlier today.</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/tablelamp.jpg' alt='' /><br />
<font size="0.8em">Teddy bear does not come with the table lamp. For decorating purpose only. :-P</font size></center></p>
<p>The table lamp is cheap only.. compared to the ones I saw in eBay. Only RM129.90 (with 10% discount too!). I really like this new table lamp of mine: even tho it wasn&#8217;t my first choice. My first choice was something in lavender color, but it was over RM200. :-( Since this one is cheaper, I get this one loh&#8230; Besides, it still has this chic, &#8220;English&#8221; look. *teehee* I&#8217;m a big fan of &#8220;English&#8221; stuff. Like English garden deco, English rose bedset, <strike>Englishman</strike>.. In fact, my dream room would be a room filled with everything &#8220;English&#8221;. <strike>(if possible, an Englishman in the room too)</strike> So far, I&#8217;ve only began like 20% of that plan. Will show you the result when it&#8217;s done. </p>
<p>Oh speaking of Sunday splurge, while browsing for gifts at Lovely Lace today, there was this sudden pain on my abdomen which I do not know <b>why</b>. My first thought was <i>Shit, did I just got my period?!</i> And there I was, at Lovely Lace, thinking of running to the pharmacy after the Lovely Lace affair for some <a href="http://www.naturalformulations.net/">PMS relief</a>. Anyway, by the time I&#8217;m done shopping, the pain was all gone. Probably overjoyed from the lots of stuff i got. Haha.. (by the way, turned out I wasn&#8217;t having any period. Gastric most probably. LOL)</p>
<p>Sorry I can&#8217;t post all the items that I bought tho. Some of those were gifts I bought for my family and since my parents reads my blog, it&#8217;s better not to post the photos here else the gifts wouldn&#8217;t be a surprise anymore.</p>
<p>But I can show you some freebie I got after spending RM244.80 at Lovely Lace.</p>
<p><center><img src='http://ethelwenn.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/rayahungpau.jpg' alt='' /></center></p>
<p>Hari Raya &#8220;hung pau&#8221;! (money packet) Hahahahaha! Cute kan? I love the colors so much!! Too bad you guys won&#8217;t be getting any Raya money from me on these &#8220;hung pau&#8221; because I&#8217;m not gonna use them. They&#8217;re too cute to give away. Sorry folks, but I&#8217;m keeping them! :-P</p>
