Learning a foreign language is like a workout for the brain, I feel. I was doing my homework and revision for my exams this Saturday for a couple of hours last night and by the time I finished, I was so, sooo exhausted and drained. It felt like I just did a 42k. But in my head.
************************************************************************************
I was a v.v happy bunny yesterday (and still am) parce que I bumped into Office Crush in the lobby on my way out. It was late and I rushing to go for my run when I saw the breathtakingly handsome Office Crush.
I think he was from a meeting cos he had his jacket on and he had this really nice, golden tan (sigh!). You see, I haven’t seen him in ages. I thought I was over Office Crush but obviously, not cos I can’t stop gushing about him. Lalalala.
A brief chat was all it took to add an extra spring in my heels. Even my running buddy thought I was extraordinarily fast.
Lalala.

My Wish
If I could have ONE wish right now, it’d be this:
That I could eat, eat and eat as much as I want without gaining weight, getting sick or expanding sideways. The more you eat, the leaner you get.
I’d start my day with a plate of hot, steaming nasi lemak Kg. Baru with the works-sambal sotong, paru and ikan bilis. And nasi lemak isn’t complete without a glass of Nescafe tarik, so I’d have that too.
Then I’d snack on Krispy Kremes (mmm..doh-nuts!) and all the cupcakes I can get my hands on. I’d wash it down with a tall glass of iced coke.
For lunch, I’d either have fried oysters with egg and all the deep-fried dim sums, I usually restrain myself from or my aunt’s nasi goreng kampung. But you know what? I think I’ll have both.
I’d eat and eat till I feel nice and full.
In the office, I’d stock up on Cheezels, Twisties and Doritos. Oh, and also keropok, muruku and fried seaweed. I’d also have a giant jar full of sugary goodness- M&Ms, Skittles and honey roasted peanuts. No more boring rice crackers for me! No siree!
For tea, I’d have the awfully sinful, deep-fried vadais (they have the best behind my office), the crispiest (and greasiest) cucur ikan bilis from downstairs and also my aunt’s currypuffs (the best in the world!).
Dinner time would be something I’d look forward to. I’d pile my plate sky high with rice and all the dishes (my mom’s a great cook, fyi). And of course, I’d have seconds.
Instead of fresh fruits, I’d head to parents’ fridge for dessert. I’d clean out the choccies in their fridge.
Then I’ll have a fat, juicy burger with a serving of fries (hold the salad, please!), chocolate milkshake WITH cream for supper, not because I’m hungry but just because I can!
Finally, when I’m tired from all the eating, I’d end my day with HUGE slice of chocolate cake AND a red velvet in bed (because I can't decide between the two).
So yes, that’s my wish.

2010!
16 days before 2009 comes to an end. I’m happy to report that this year is definitely better than last and hopefully next year would be even BIGGER and better!
My wish list for 2010 (preferably when I wake up on 1 January 2010):
1. This roll of fat, jelly belly would DISAPPEAR
2. All the songs and videos, previously wiped out from my iPods and new songs magically appear, complete with their album covers
3. 3 inches from my hips GONE!!
4. Kiki the cat stops displaying dysfunctional behaviour, stops ripping our furniture apart and starts using the scratching post
5. A big, fat increase in pay
6. Can have a decent conversation in French

Running of the Boars?
Running in Taman TAR is becoming more and more like an obstacle course. Not only do you have to dodge the monkeys and the crowd feeding the monkeys, now you have to watch out for the wild boars too.
I was there last Sunday, determined to run at least 6k. The weather was good, I was feeling great and the monkeys weren’t too much of nuisance.
Just as I was running around the bend, I saw not one, not two but five (!) wild boars. It must have been a family outing- Papa, Mama, Baby, Grandpa and Grandma Boar.
Now, if they were cows grazing in the meadows, I wouldn’t have given two hoots but they weren’t. I imagined being gored to death and so I ran full speed in the opposite direction.
I need to figure out where to run now. Help!

Hey There!
We’re in between project phase now, which means I’m a free bunny. This also means I can surf the internet as much as I want except I can’t go to blogspot.com anymore cos it’s bloody blocked.
Which is why I haven’t written.
So this is just a short hello to those who have missed me, those who don’t, those in between and those who don’t really care.
Hello. Hello.
I just wanted you to know I miss you so.

My Cute Cousin
My 18-year old cousin is soo cute! Well, he’s not exactly my cousin, his mom is my mumsy’s cousin, which makes us, what, second cousins?
The last time I saw him 2 Rayas ago, he was scrawny and awkward looking but somehow he’s morphed into this good-looking and toned young man, thanks to parkour which he’s currently really into.
I could barely recognize him when he came over to our house last Saturday. V. tall and toned wearing a paperboy hat.
So, so cute.
