Pet Updates
I'm happy to report that Jane's eye is healing well after putting eye drops the past few days. Made her wear that stupid looking neck collar so that she doesn't scratch her eye. She looks really ridiculous in that thing and she keeps bumping into the wall and other things around her. Hopefully another 2 days and she'll be back to normal.

Rainbow Phenomenon In Ipoh
Ok, I think you guys are going to think I'm crazy but this is really the first time I'm seeing this. Not my first time seeing a rainbow of course but a rainbow in this manner is really a first for me....
The brightest area is where the sun is and the circle around it is the rainbow which we saw. This was just right outside my house. The black line at the bottom of the photos is my house awning. It wasn't easy to get these shots as the sun was shining directly into my eyes. All in all, this phenomenon lasted about 10 minutes and it was gone.
I have yet to have time to look this up on the internet to find out exactly how this happened. Stay tuned to see if I do manage to find some info on this....
Aarrggghhh.... Trespasser Killed
Woke up this morning to find a dead kitten in the garden and Jane with her right eye swollen. I have no idea what time it happened but I'm pretty sure right until I went to bed at 1.30am last night there was no kitten sounds nor my dogs barking. So it must have been when I had already fallen sound asleep.
I guess the poor kitty did put up a good fight and scratched Jane's right eye. It's swollen quite bad. Have put eye drops for her and hoping it will heal soon. Didn't see blood dripping so I think it doesn't warrant a visit to the vet as yet. Will monitor closely to see how it heals.
Sigh.. why is it always Jane who gets herself into these things???? It's always her!!! Jack and Jill do get into mischief now and again but never to this extent where they get themselves injured. What am I to do with Jane? It's been so long and it doesn't look like anyone's going to adopt her although I'm above the limit of 2 dogs per household. Sigh....

Mummy's Birthday.... Coming Soon
I'm back in Ipoh again for the weekend to celebrate Mummy's birthday which is on Sunday. Have planned an 8-course dinner at the new Overseas Restaurant and invited a few of my parents' close friends to join in the celebration. The more merrier. Let's hope the food is as good as they preach since the restaurant has opened a new branch.
On the menu is a starter dish, suckling piggy, steamed patin fish, chicken with ham & kailan, asparagus with prawns, tofu, longevity noodles and water chestnut dessert. Will update my food blog with pics and reviews of the dishes. So keep a look out.
Mummy also requested for a blueberry cheesecake. Of course I panicked when she told me that's what she wanted. I have no idea where to get good cheesecake in Ipoh, what more blueberry cheesecake. Turns out, it's mummy's fave, my sister's fave and my fave.
And so, JJ Cakes to the rescue. Have ordered it specially made for tomorrow. Now I'm just hoping that a 1kg cake will be enough to satisfy everyone's appetite.
Decided to join my parents at their regular gathering with some friends. My objective? To sample the oh-so-talked-about stewed yam with pork (wu tao kao yok) that one of their friends make. OMG!!! It's just simply heavenly. The yam is soft and filled with the aroma of the spices. The pork is stewed to perfection. Juicy and the fatty part literally melts in your mouth.
And despite the age difference, (I mean, come on, the entire group are all my parents' age) we really had a great time. The jokes, the conversations.... who says it's boring to hangout with older people. They're probably more fun to be around as they share their stories and tell you jokes from their younger days. In fact, I think I should do this more often... haha...
I'm off to bed now. Early morning tomorrow as we're headed to some breakfast at the marketplace. My usual hong kong style chee cheong fun is waiting for me :)

Birthday Celebration
My parents and little sis made a trip to KL over the weekend to celebrate our birthdays. Didn't take much pics other than the homemade cheesecake and us :)

My Big Day
I am now officially.... 3x (age is sacred to the female)
Birthday came and went. It was a good day. Worked in the morning, attended 100-day countdown to GEW in the afternoon, hung out at The Curve and proceeded to Mid Valley for dinner at Chili's with Steven, Mei Lee and Terence.
Dinner at Chili's was quite a disappointment. I'm vowing never to have my meals there ever again, especially the branch at Mid Valley. Steaks came out with more tendons than meat. It was even harder to chew than chewing gum, can you imagine? It was just bad.
Quiet and simple celebration. Just the way I like.
The next day was also an eventful day. Mei Lee and Terence invited us to their house and they were going to make us a home-baked butter garlic lobster and beef stew. Was really yums! Much better than the food at Chili's, mind you.
We had already made dinner plans with Janice and Ian. Introduced them to Kong Sai Chicken Rice. The chicken rice that Steven has been raving about in Facebook of late. We had half a chicken (the big foot of the hill chicken - dai san keok kai), curry pork ribs, baked yam with pork (wu tau kau yok) and vege. Sumptious! And I must say tastier and more satisfying than dinner the night before at Chili's.
Now we have new friends to jalan-jalan cari makan :)
PS: I just realized in all that excitement over the weekend, there is not a single photo of me :)

Quote Of The Day
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. - Socrates
I like this quote. Very apt as I deal with people who insist they know everything when in actual fact most of the time they don't know that much more than me... sigh... stubbornness!
On another note, I just came back from the ladies toilet at my office block. Some idiot had a ciggie break in there and the air is just suffocating! Inconsiderate buggers (excuse my language). Why do people assume that common toilets at office blocks are ciggie hangout places???
I demand that my right to clean and fresh air be RESTORED! Smokers should just lock themselves in a glass case and suffocate themselves in there. Let us all regain our rights!
