AJL 2007

It was the best one ever I think......my fav pop group Sofaz did not win but well, my 2nd fav Estranged did. Rich started the song a bit shaky & I was like `huh`. Guess it was a case of nerves. When he gained momentum, it was pure pop magic.

He thanked Yang Maha Esa coz he`s a Christian.

Bob forgot the lyrics...but we found out later that he was a last last minute replacement for Ajai who couldn`t make it. So forgiven.

It was an interesting nite at Bkt Jalil....

Jewel orchids

After 2 years of caring for this lil` bugger, it finally flowered. Magnifique ~..the flower lasts for about 1 month or so. A close shave during the flower formation period was a chap`s son who came over to my house un-announced & knocked the pot over almost snapping off the stalk of orchid. Isk-2. Hate ill-behaved kids. But I blmae the parents. Nasty.

Some more Carnivorous plant pics....

These are some older photos of my still fav plants...aren`t they gorgeous ? Miraculously, some defy dormancy even tho genetically they should be going dormant.

Another flowering sundew in the garden

This was obtained from overseas as well. It`s called Byblis and has amethyst coloured flowers. It`s very good at trapping insects and seeds very well. Each leaf branch is full of trapped small insects either being digested, freshly caught or struggling in vain to get away.

A cutie pie sundew....

Here is a recent sundew which i got. It really glitters in the sun and the dew captures insects. Imported from Germany.

Pet peeves

I hate golf & golfers. Worst environmental damagers. These jokers only care about their game & it doesn`t matter how much is flattened or remoulded to permit them playing. Most of the golfers I met also have some personality disorder or attitude problem or think they are superior to others. Yea rite, you are dumber than most actually.

Gym bunnies. Mostly coz they are insecure & only care about themselves. i have a friend who is a gym instructor and he says that he only needs to HINT that their calf needs a lil` more work to drive them into an exercise frenzy. Crazy buggers.

Folks who have kids but don`t really like kids. The silliest of silly. Jabbing your willy into your wife and praying she won`t get pregnant isn`t going to help. Esp if it happens more than once. Then they start abusing their kids and cursing them at the slightest inconvenience. I know of a chap who complained that his arm was tired when he was carrying his newborn in the hospital , only to pass the baby to his just-delivered wife to carry. Gosh.

Renault cars.....the ugliest cars around. I`m not sure about their engines longevity but the cars are butt ugly. Really. Now you know why the 2nd hand ones are so dirt cheap. People own renaults for silly reasons...one of them being they support the Renault F1 team.

Married folks who let themselves be run by their wives. Eeeeks. These folks let their wives make all the decisions for them and dare not talk back. One chap I know doesn`t talk back coz his wife can out-talk him and also he doesn`t want to be deprived of free sex. Desperado limp-wrist.

Cats & dogs which misbehave. Stupid cats which came uninvited to my garden & dogs which bark incessantly are a menace. I blame the pet owners. Dumbasses.

there`s more but i`m too bz now.

New curtains

It wasn`t that I wanted new curtains for CNY. Just that I had time during my Christmas break & went looking for curtains.

I wanted blackout curtains & finally found them at Macy`s @ Minlon. Paid rm123.90 for a 3panel curtain plus workmanship charges.

It took almost 3 weeks to sew them & I finally collected them yesterday.

It cuts out almost 90% of the incoming light & surprise surprise, my room was like nite during the hot afternoon sun.

Yay....

My staghorn has grown

The small baby plant which was kinda small when it came is ow quite impressive....

here`s Chrissey

this is the `girl` who has been keeping me busy for the past month. she was found walking the streets ( streetwalker oops ) & taken over to SPCA by a kind soul. when i found her before Christmas, she was a pitiful sight. She had some sores on her body, both ears had infection & she was recovering from a spaying operation. But she was the sweetest thing on four legs and her eyes were pools full of bottomless love.

so i got her. paid rm300 and took her home. we spent a few days cleaning her up & she had the patience of a nun. think she knew we were serious about keeping her & bringingher back to health.

It`s been so long........

A small animal crackers welcome to 2008. hippo ewe ear.......



i lost the drive to post after my dog was put to sleep in july 2007. it was my biggest loss in the last 10 years...but well, i have recovered.




i`ll try to clue you in on what`s happened since then....


Mmmmmm.......


i spent a few months moping around, existing but not really living


my saving factors were my friends, my hobbies, someone lovely whom i was dating then....if not, sure would have krazy oredi ( i`m kidding only, rarely do i attach myself to anyone or anything coz i am very independent emotionally )


i spent time looking for a replacement toyota rav4.....the search is on-going...i would love to change to a 3-door, 1.8litre dark grey coloured beauty. but it isn`t urgent. unless the price of petrol goes up again very very soon.




i got a new dog. she was found at SPCA by me in december near Christmas, hence she was named Chrissey ( Miyake, like that fashion house Issey Miyake, heheh ) I`ll post pics soon





i became single in mid dec.....this was after 7 months of dating. No pain, no gain. Currently dating 4 diff folks at the same time before narrowing it down to 1 soon. I know i know.





my collection of carnivorous plants increased by about 45% since i got introduced to growers in Germany. A lot of moolah was spent on this. Hopefully it will earn me some back in the near future. Plants bought can be sold off as soon as they propagate but some follow seasons so it`ll be a longer wait for the flowering/ seed period.

made some new friends, got rid of some hopeless ones after forgiving them.

next post....
