Frou-frou pineapple pancake
After today, I can confirm that the cooking process is very exhausting. I could not get my pancakes to be wafer thin. And I did burn a few pancakes in the process. Rest assured, I do not plan to serve nata de coco at any of my parties. I promise to outsource the party planning and food to the professionals.
Here it is, batch #1.

Meme me!
Looks like Dan tagged me for this meme. I'm getting rusty at this but I'll try.
ONE
I dislike people stuffing their grimy paw into my packet of food. If you're not part of the circle of trust, you are not eligible to share food and spit.
TWO
I need to keep my things organized in plastic bags. I am an environmental hazard.
THREE
I am forever 21. Obviously, in denial.
FOUR
My favorite time waster game is Bejeweled.
FIVE
My guilty pleasures are frivolous and flighty chic flicks and campy 80's movies. I bet that didn't take you too long to figure out.
SIX
Pet peeves : Hypocrisy, stinginess, self-imposed ignorance, dishonesty.
SEVEN
Never appoint me as a navigator because I cannot read maps.
EIGHT
I buy a lot of crap I don't need.
- Each player must post these rules first.
- Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.It ends here.

Destination : London
So this is it! The consultant and I will be in London starting mid-January 2008 for 1 year. Let's see if I can manage and execute the idea of being a tai tai. Read : spending the husband's money minus the guilt.

10.25 pm
I've like looked at a gazillion bridal gowns. I am beyond confused. Help.
I realised that I started this blog to document my journey to become a Stepford Wife. What happened?

Rawr!
He called be bridezilla. RAWR RAWR RAWR!
Anyway, it obviously does not matter because it's my wedding anyhow. Yes, I admit it. I can so totally be a control freak. And up until this point, I don't think I am a bridezilla. Yet. But honestly speaking, I understand how it happens. Planning a wedding is stressful. And honestly, every woman, bride-to-be or not, has latent bridezilla tendencies. So like what's wrong with wanting it to be perfect?
Ugh. Self-absorbed MCP.
Whatever.
Praise the lord the husband-to-be is not groomzilla. Triple RAWR again.
So the internet connection at home is like going crazy. Again. Without warning it just disconnects. And it is killing me. I have so much wedding planning to do.
Uh yeah. Brides-to-be. Do the bridezilla quiz.

Wish List
I'm so excited! I don't know where to begin! There's something which I am dying to tell you but I can't till it's official!
I need to start preparing for life. Here's my (incomplete) list:
By the way, I still can't decide if I should have an edible wedding cake or to go with the standard mock cake. I can't seem to get a grip of myself right now!

7.7.07
7.7.07 passed by just like any other day for me. Naturally, it proved to be one of the most popular wedding dates this year all over the world.
With the insistence of my wedding organizer and florist, the husband-to-be and I headed to a hotel in the city center to catch a wedding in full swing on Saturday evening. We liked what we saw. Since we only took a peek for a few minutes and did not take any food or alcohol, I guess that does not make us wedding crashers!
A belated Independence Day and a belated Happy Canada Day to all who celebrated.
(No joy here for it was not a holiday!)

The teapot episode
I absolutely loathe the idea of blogging about work. However, this deserves an entry of its own simply because it shares a similarity with a household item - the teapot.
There I was, standing by the kitchen sink minding my own business, washing my teapot and cup when Mr Hobo shows up with an ant-infested plastic tub. With no acknowledgement or whatsoever, he starts soaping the plastic tub. Since I am bothered to even post about this, let's analyze the whole situation:
Interruption in my zen-like chore by failing to acknowledge my presence. The sink is only large enough for one. He bumps me off the sink and continues to wash his plastic tub. My teapot and cup remains half cleaned in the sink.
At this juncture, I decided to be a chicken and stormed back up to my desk, trying to maintain a peaceful outlook with bottled-up rage. It is absolutely unnecessary to pick a fight over a trivial matter like this especially at a work place.
An hour later, I caught him mandhandling a flat (but just as good, nonetheless!) doughnut out from a box and tossing it to the side of the box. He picked out a slightly puffier doughnut for himself instead.
I am not perfect. But I might just forgive him for some of us may have been born with lower innate emotional intelligence. The simplest solution is to bring this up to my immediate supervisor. Which I will!
