Back from our road trip....

I have to say, we had a good trip to Temerloh... taking the East Coast Highway until Lanchang when we decided that the highway was so boring! There was nothing much to see except for oil palm trees and more oil palm trees after we left the Karak Highway.

Sebastian enjoyed the trip very much... when he was not busy sleeping that is! Ever so often he would change his place... the front seat, the back seat and the back dashboard! Ever so often also he would just sit on his cage looking out of the window... observing the green hills and other vehicles on the road that he normally don't see when I drive him around Klang Valley! The big lorries, the slow old cars which model ceased many decades ago, the kampung bicycles, etc.

Anyway, cousin's place was very hot... be it at night or during the day! I mean... it was sauna hot inside the house. We slept with 3 fans on simultenously and we were still prespiring! Needless to say, Sebastian was panting the whole day the first day we were there! His cute and small tounge was out all the way. By the second day, he acclamatised a bit ... and the fact that he was allowed to play outside was a great help to his mood in that weather.

Good food, good company and good rest.. then back to KL on Monday!

Coming back, we decided to take the federal road (I somehow like to refer this as trunk road.. not actually sure why though) all the until Karak. It was a more intersting route with hustle bustle of kampung life along the way. Temptation of stopping at interesting looking roadside stalls were great, but was constantly reminded of low $$$ in the purse (saw nice looking jambu and coconut, weaved basket, rattan furniture, goreng pisang stalls, chendol stalls under shady trees.... lovely!)

Before reaching the house, we were stopped twice at roadblocks. While waiting in queue, I was trying to get Sebastian to sit properly in his cage, which of course he refused to do! So was having some kind of arm wrestling with him.

First roadblock - managed to get him on the floor at the back. The JPA man thought he was in the cage at the back..... sheeshhhh...

Second roadblock - he decided to avoid wrestling with me and settled under my feet (thank God he wasn't in the way of my driving!). The policeman couldn't see him.

Looking back now, I wonder whether there is a law prohibiting your pet running loose in the car. Maybe not... since children in car are allowed to be let loose without the safety of child carseat. But then again, who know for sure about this kind of thing... and even if we know, how many of us really think it is for our own good and actually follow that safety regulation. Who are we kidding eh!!!

I suppose Sebastian was glad to be back home! It is by far cooler and airy.. and plenty of space for him to run around. However, I do think he misses the company of my cousin's daugther who dedicated a good part of her waking time playing with him.

Then last week my place was filled with people! My brother and family came up from the South, and then my sister-in-law's brother and his family came over to visit. And that was a busy time for Sebastian, as he had to entertain all the cat lovers who just adored him!!!

Anyway... this week has been quiet, so Sebastian has been well recuperated from all the excitement. Life for his is back to a quiet one.

I do wonder sometimes whether he would like to have more company at home, besides me that is. I wonder if he gets bored as I can, any time of the day at the house, out do him in sleeping/napping!!!

Hitting the road with Sebastian ....

Later today (hopefully not late of the day), me and my cat are going to hit the road and drive to Temerloh (apparently known as land of ikan patin or something like that) to visit my cousin and her daughter.

I can imagine the weekend already, lepaking at her house eating and eating and eating and laughing and laughing and laughing over nothing in particular!

Her daughter will be busy playing with my Sebastian (hopefully)! Normally she would be busy asking me loads of questions that she knows the answers to (because she's a very smart girl but sometimes she pretends that she's not!).

I can hardly wait!!!

Here's wishing everybody a good weekend ahead...

What a fine actor he is!

I recently watched Constant Garderner (thought I have to confess that I skipped a lot of talking scenes in there....blame it on one's inability of watching intense drama late at night)!!!

Oh... what a fine actor he was in this movie. Such intensity through those piercing blue eyes... a man mourning his beloved wife who was brutally killed, making sense of her life and his journey of understanding what had happened to her that lead to her killing.

I saw him as a man with compasssion, a man falling in love, man in love, a man still in love and a man continue to be in love with the woman until his final days.

Such talent and such intensity can only be found through British actors (my 2 sen worth of opinion!). Also comes to mind are Anthony Hopkins and Hugh Grant, though they are in different element of characters/actings... (okay, okay.... Hugh Grant is in the list because he is cute!!).

I don't think the Glamour Hollywood actors can potray such characters as intense (Rambo and Incredible Hulk do not count!) Granted.. yes, they are good looking, macho and whatever else nots (no.. I don't mean Rambo and Incredible Hulk), but rarely to the level of these A+ list of British actors.

So, I guess my two thumbs up goes to the Brits.

A body like Liz Hurley

If my body looks like her's, I would not bother to wear clothes!!!

What's the point of wearing them when you know anything and everything will look good on you regardless! It would be so boring and predictable!

I will most probably be in bikini all day long anywhere and everywhere, especially in our lovely hot and humid weather!!

If I have a body like her's, I think I could save a lot of money from not having to shop for clothes. I could be wearing rag and still looks hot in it! And we know how cheap rag costs! Then I'd be able to save plenty of money to take myself to that "trip of the lifetime around the world until I have enough of travelling and just want to come home for a change" vacation.

Heck, I probably have men offering to give me the money just to hear me mentioning their names when I thank them for making it all possible!

YUP!!! There were a lot of IFs in my mind when I saw her pictures in the magazine today.

Sometimes I ramble too much!

ONE WAY CONVERSATION WITH ME, MYSELF & I (on Friday night):

I wish I can write something really funny that you just cannot help but laugh reading it...

...... and once in a while, I wish I could write something that makes you start thinking of what's important and what's not in your life.

... sometimes, I just wish I can write a perfect sentence without having to check on the grammar and the flow.... words flow effortlessly from my brain straight to the fingers typing them. (actually, I hate re-reading what I wrote).

AND sometimes, when I thought I was able to do all the above, my thoughts went astray while my fingers could only manage incoherent words.

I wish I could show people how much smarter I can be... I wish I could show people how funnier I could be... BUT I am neither smart nor funny to begin with!

So I continue writing my worthless thoughts... just because I can (only do this)!

I LOVE ......

... (besides my cat that is...)

... the new Petronas advertisement for the F1 team Petronas Sauber BMW (or something like that), where the father was telling the son not to make too much noise and instead he should be doing his homework (or something like that). And the son replied something to him in German!!!! The stunt on the father's face....hahahahaha...

I thought this is the funniest one on TV commercials at the moment.
