Month: May 2005

Since Mom’s birthday’s approaching, Dad voluntarily offered to take us on a day trip back to her hometown in Mentakab, Pahang. So sweet of the old man. Mom was delighted, of course. Dad even sent a sappy e-card for her to my inbox. Let me tell you, reading it was mortifying.

Nicklaus (pretending) plucking mangoes.

OMG, he actually got one!

Mango tree.

Juicy, ripe mangoes. Yummy.

Me and my granny.

Cirque du Soleil.

Cousin Joanne (pretending) weeding.

Lime tree.

Really sour stuff. Think it belongs to the starfruit family.

Bird’s Eye Chillies. Syiok.

Balik kampung is best.

Guess who I saw today? ANTHONY BOURDAIN!!!!! I was coming out from an open carpark onto Jalan Raja Chulan and he was crossing the road with two cameramen. I wound down my window and cried, “TONY BOURDAIN I LOOVE YOUU”. He gave me an “Awww”. Then I had to continue driving and I waved goodbye :( Sigh, wish I had not gotten into the car so soon. If I were only 2 minutes late, could have met him on the street, could have kissed him on the cheeks and given him a hug. But it’s still okay, I got to see him in the flesh. It’s cool!

Who can resist a foul-mouthed hot chef?

It started with this…

Took me 13 hours to paint and modify it and still looking like shit.

Got bored and whipped something up with Paint and Font Creator.

Just before I ventured out of the house, decided that the painted logo is just plain horrid. Couldn’t bring myself to submit it. Made an improvised version with Mac Flash.

Wish me luck on winning RM30k. And stop laughing please.
