Amelie Cafe

I came to know about this interesting place from an old school mate’s blog.  Bibs and I went on a little hunt last week hoping to check out the place but it was unfortunately closed (wasn’t suppose to however).  So, last Sunday, we decided to try again! We drove down the familiar & heritage looking road; the Armenian Street and soon found a place to park.  Didn’t take us long to make our way to the door step since we already knew how easy it was to spot the quaint looking place.  From the outside, you’ll almost never know it’s an eatery.  A humble entrance with a strong dash of homeliness.

If you have been to Edelweiss, this cafe is pretty nearby.  You won’t miss it if you spot all the potted plants outside.  The sign/name may be a less eye-catchy though.  The easiest way to find the Amelie Cafe is to recognize the Cheah Kongsi (right next to it).

Hairy Houdini

Bibs is leaving tomorrow at noon to go home for CNY.  He’s gonna be gone for 10 full days *miserable* and I’m trying my very best to do anything I could to keep him behind.  Trust me..I tried all ways…including sympathetic look..puppy eyes…piggy nose…etc.  Fail.com.  Somehow mummy’s magnetic field is so much stronger *pout*

So, I decided to do what Houdini is well known for!!

*evil laugh*

okla…didn’t keep him there for long… he broke free. FAIL.com.

Oh!! Oh!!! Guess who??

*ROTFLMAO*

Bloated weekend

I know my last post has stirred up some Qs and curiosity.  Sorry…I didn’t mean to be vague, but I’m really having a bit of a trouble deciding whether the doctor gave me the right diagnose or not.  But anyhow..here goes. Warning, extra long post ahead!

On Wednesday night when I was waiting eagerly to fetch DarkChoc from work; it was around 7+PM i still remember.  I went to the loo to ease myself thinking that it would prolly be around that time till I get to leave work (I had to rush for Choir practice at 8PM!) Just when I step back to my cube and about to sit down, there was a sudden severe, excruciating pain that shot right from my lower abdomen (yes, where the uterus is) all the way up my spine. I still remember how i literally sprang up from my sitting position but yet the pain was so disabling that I could not even straighten up my spine With one one grabbing hold of the table corner and another pressing firmly on my seat handle..I struggled to battle with the horrifying attack.  While I do get similar sharp-piercing pain before (pretty often when my lower abdomen gets bloated), I have definitely not encounter such an excruciating pain in my life.  I was crippled for minutes – neither could I sit, stand or even bend my body.  It was completely agonizing.

Health

When we are sick, we tend to remember those days when we are healthy; and realize how much we have abused the small little abilities that we have while we were well.  When we recover and get back to the usual lifestyle, we forget how it felt like being stripped off those small little abilities that we took so much granted for.  Funny how we don’t always learn from our mistakes.  The vicious cycle just keeps going.

Now…I just pray that I recover soon.  I swear I never knew it was such a great blessing to be able to sit up straight, bend down and reach your toe, turn to your sides and most importantly…being able to f*rt…

I’m serious… don’t take f*rt it for granted.  It’s a real pure blessing.

Choir trip to Ipoh

I actually haven’t blog for a week!

Even though I hate to admit it, Ethan’s temporary departure seems to be doing me some good.  I don’t spend as much time surfing and working in front of the PC as I would normally do.  I consider this the e-fasting period.

I didn’t get to write much about our short trip to Ipoh 2 weekends back.  I think I forgot to also mention that my camera is currently dead too.  No worries, it is revivable.. my rechargeable batts have reached the end of their lifespan.  I’m waiting for DarkChoc to get me the new sets.  Hence, I don’t have any pics to share from the choir trip. But….fret not!! My roomie took some and I also borrowed a few from Jeremy just to share

Anyways, the choir trip to Ipoh was to sing during the weekend worship services at the Canning Garden Methodist Church. My previous pastor is not pastoring there So, it was good to see him and his family.  Moreover, Ipoh is too nice of a state to grumble.  The air is great..the roads are sooo wide (if given PGites, we wouldn’t know how to utilize – inside joke).  We chartered a bus to Ipoh and departed on Saturday morning.  We were treated to a nice Ipoh lunch with some other fellow CGMC-folks.  After which, we checked in to one of the newer hotels in Ipoh – the Paragon City.  But alas! Most of us were assigned to window-less rooms… @_@ Being a claustrophobic person…it sure takes a bit of mental exercise to overcome the lack-of-space.   Still..nothing stopped us from cam-whoring a bit

We sang on Saturday evening and also Sunday morning. Folks from CGMC were very nice and warm.  Very welcoming and kind with their words of encouragement too (I must say.. ).  Nevertheless, every choir presentation we make, it always give us a whole new experience.  It was good to be given the opportunity again to minister through our singing.

Last shot for the trip..with my beloved sister-&-roomie.. *grins*

Till the next random update.. Toodles!
