This full week, MoofMoof, Roccio and I will be them piggies in the oven. The sun is out everyday and the temperature is soaring high, way higher than what I've experienced in Malaysia. It was 42C/108F in the afternoon today. According to the people who lived here all their life, this is abnormal and this is the first time it has happened. Did I bring the sunshine all the way here with me? I wonder...Thank god it isn't humid here. Every time the hot air is blown my way, I felt I would suffocate and my heart would stop beating. That's how bad it is (at least to me, it is). As much as I would love a warm day, this is way too much for me to handle.

BUT, the day wasn't all bad. A parcel that arrived at the door today did brighten up my day. It was some skin care and makeup products by Artistry. I tried the samples given to me during Bite Of Seattle (food fair that happens every year in the summer) and I find myself falling in love with them thus I ordered a bunch of them online. Best of all it comes with 180 days money back guarantee even if the product is almost used up.

The Time Defiance Skin Refinishing Lotion has to be one of my favourite skin care product now. It leaves the skin so silky smooth after only the first time applying it, I kid you not. It's amazing!

As for the makeup products, I can't find a reason not to love their Essentials Mineral Foundation and Essentials Concealer. I have very dry skin and numerous brands of foundations and concealers made my face look very cakey and wrinkley after a while of wearing them. However the Essentials ones are so fine and light they make my skin look natural. Even on a hot day like today, they didn't melt and didn't make my face look blotchy and shiny. Ahhh...those are what I call, products well made...

Even though it'll be a HOT WOK for the whole week, I at least won't have to look like a blotchy, shiny roast pig :D

The sun was out the whole day. The day was warm and beautiful. MoofMoof and I refused to let the day pass without doing anything so we geared up on our sunbathing kit and head to the lake by our house with Roccio.

I woke up feeling good and fresh this morning. Put on the music, brushed my teeth, showered and put on a nice warm purple dress with my 3 quarter tights. 

YOU CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME ON NEW YEAR'S EVE! A FREAKING LAUNDRY MISHAP !!!! After putting my washed clothes into the dryer, I left the laundromat to go home for a bite only to come back 30 minutes too late. It's only 3.30pm and I'm 30 minutes late. Place closed for New Year's Eve. Back in Malaysia, I've never seen places close early for New Year's Eve. That's a first for me....sigh...

Do not attempt to strike up a conversation on Skype, Live Messenger, Google Talk or any other IM application OR sign on your Facebook to scan through everyone's new pictures just glance at the updates while you're cooking, else you risk eating "Me + IM + Facebook + Cooking Pasta = Soggy UglyTasting Pasta". Urghhhhhhhh, what a BIG ewwwwwwwwww!

It's just toooooooooo ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww-ey that my camera won't even "chik chak" when I press the snap button. Can you imagine how ugly that marsh looking pasta is? You still want pictures? Tough Nougies! No pictures! Camera won't budge.

Lesson learned.

p/s: It is not the first time this has happened. There was another shrimpy incident (Shrimpy was meant for MoofMoof - he laughed so much he nearly wet his pants).

Omigosh! I kena usha today, WTF! Now I feel so dirty and depressed and I wanna slit my wrist and die. LOLZ okok I'm just kidding okay? I'm not suicidal and it's not so serious okay? If I am, I won't be sitting here posting this up okay? I'll be six feet under ground oledi! Or maybe still in the hospital waiting for the forensic fella to do a post-mortem.

Anihoo, back to the story ~ it was just 2 bugger on a bike took over me while I was cruising down the freeway in my hot chicka mini Ferrari...yea it's Ferrari okay? Don't pray pray ar! The passenger of the bike usha me lo. How sure am I that he is usha-ing me and not my car? Of course la, cause I'm definitely hotter than my car. According to my dear Big Fat Witch, I'm a Hot MAMA soon to be Hot Auntie. Okay, scrap the last part, I don't like Hot Auntie, Hot MAMA sounds nicer. Anyway the hamsap passenger usha me and tak cukup lagi, he tugged on his buddy's shirt and ask him to usha together-gether. Wah I was farking furious. I honked and honked and gave him the "Apa usha usha har, nak kena korek mate ke" look and he got so scared and peed in his pants. Hmm...Maybe I over exaggerate. Hehe me ain't so evil and fierce like a lioness okay? Although once in a while I can be lo so you better be careful ya. But this time I just gave them a smile before I cut into the right lane and sped off.

Well, I know la I cun and hot and anggun but please la wei, cherish your life okay? If not also, cherish others' life. Fixed your eyes on the road so you don't run your motor kerepot into the poor innocent car in front of you and I would definitely not fancy running over you two poor hamsap bugger either. I don't want to have sleepless nights just cause you both make headlines on the front page like "Nahas Akibat Si Anggun" or "Beauty and 2 Dead Buggers"..wah man that's a heavy guilt to bear okay? Guilty of being a beauty and then I'll have to pay gazillion dollars for a plastic surgery just to make me look ugly...eh but come to think of it, to make myself look ugly is not that hard after all hor? Just place my face on a waffle maker and forever I'll carry a waffle head lo...

Lesson of the day ~ Don't Stare and Drive (I mean focus on the road and drive and not something else okay?)

Weekend was one hell of a roller coaster ride. So many things had happen with so much emotion involved. Happy, sad, nervous, fear, worries, you name it I have it. Except for anger I guess.

May 10th 2008, woke up from my nap and as usual the first thing I do when I got up is to switch on my lappy. Login to Facebook and my email, saw nothing on Facebook but something in my mailbox caught my attention. It read “CRIS” which means it’s something from USCIS. Getting all jiggly and nervous I clicked open the email with my trembling hand and there it was sitting on my mailbox reading "On May 9, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)". I can’t believe what I saw. I had to rub my eyes twice and pinched myself a couple of times before I go ~ “Wuhoo! It’s real, it’s real! It is so so real! It’s finally happening!!!!!!!!!!”. Gotta tell Denny immediately, dialed his number so many times but that baka hubby of mine didn’t pick up his phone, so I had to call the house number. My sleepy Mama picked it up. Felt so sorry for waking her up but I had to get the happy news to Denny. It was the best news of the day. We talked happily about all the exciting things we’re gonna do when I’m there but then as sudden as the happy news came, I broke into tears. Overwhelmed by the sudden gush of sadness for having to leave my family behind I just couldn’t stop crying. It was a good thing that Denny was around assuring me that everything is going to be fine and we will come home to Penang often to visit my family and friends. Denny, thank you for your assuring words, for you love and care.

The following day, I was worried sick. Mom was admitted to the hospital with the docs not knowing what was wrong. They perform and ultrasound scan on mom and said it might be an inflation on her fallopian tube or a cyst or an inflation on her intestine but they couldn’t be sure until they perform a surgery on mom. I had to seek few doctors’ opinions and do so much research in a day to help my mom and dad decide which was the best option for her. I was able to convinced dad to ask the doctor to perform a laparoscopy on mom to inspect the affected area for the real culprit and removing the affected area using the same method and told the doctor to only opt for a more extensive surgery if the problem area is too complicated for laparoscopy. Mom went through the laparoscopy procedure late afternoon yesterday. What they found was a heavy cyst twisting the end of the right fallopian tube. The twisted fallopian tube was the culprit of the massive pain. They removed the cyst and the bad end of the fallopian tube and now mommy is better and recovering. Thank goodness!
