bring a plate to Willcock Place!

Guess what, I hosted a party for the first time in Australia!

I have been here 3 years and all I had to do was to attend parties instead of hosting one.

Well.. I did HELPED in organising some house parties but it was more like a team effort thing.. preparing with housemates instead of getting ready, washing up everything single handed.

Luckily though its a potluck this time! All I had to do was to prepare my "signature dish" - curry puffs (credits to Georgie!).

My very random e-invites (click on image for larger view):

Mei, what is potluck?
Err.. means.. bring a plate but its a Malaysian way of saying it?
ooh, why is it CALLED potluck then?
OH, meaning you bring a pot of food filled with "luck" to a party?
are you sure?
YEA of course!


DUH, I wasn't sure if I was telling the right thing but these are things you can get away with when you are talking to someone from Finland or Ireland.. those -land -land -land countries la, they have totally different culture so you can just anyhow say anything about Malaysia lo.. wtf

Anyway, my curry puffs were not bad, my guests absolutely loved it and was asking for more!
OMG, what an achievement for me. I mean seriously.. I CAN'T COOK for nuts man, what more having people asking me for my (or in fact Georgie's) curry puffs recipe?!
But then again, its probably their first time eating curry puffs too - another "thing" that I managed to run away with?


Look at my happy Finnish, Irish and Chinese guests.
Can you spot my curry puffs hiding amongst all other scrumptious, glorious food?

Food does have the power of bringing people together, no?
And yes, I think I am gaining weight.. AGAIN
And Christmas month aka holiday season is coming!
More weight to gain wtf

you lead a very lonely life, my child


Eveline Tarunadjaja's drawing

What puts you in the mood to create?
a broken heart.

Describe your style
lonely yet hopeful, playful yet painful.


Made sense to me; does it make sense to you?

Dear stalker...

I am not referring to anyone but the modern technology.

Modern technology has definitely turn all of us into stalkers.

Firstly, the blogs
where bloggers post up their daily lives, where they go, what they see, what they encounter, what they think on an online journal published to the public - easily accessed to anyone who has Internet connection to just view your life literally through a "window".

Then, the social networking sites
like Facebook, Myspace, Friendster bla bla bla.. where you put up countless photos of yourselves and your friends - showcasing your social, personal or even private self to everyone.

Now, the so-called micro-blogging
like the stupid yet addictive Twitter where users constantly update their status, telling their "followers" every single action or activity they are doing.

Anyway, I'm not trying to make a statement or what not, that's just the introduction.. haha!
My point was actually..

This morning, I went to the pantry to get my regular morning coffee to kick start my day, I met Paul the Finance Manager..

Morning Mei
Hi Paul, how are you?
Good, how was your weekend?
(EVERYONE has to freaking ASK THAT on Mondays)
Oh, I went shopping with Elsa.
Oh yea, your first retail therapy ya?
?? How did you know?
You told the whole world..


Oh, Thank You Facebook


Then, after the Weekly Ops Meeting with the branch, I went to get some water, I met Anshuman the Accounts Officer..

SO... Did you find THE spider?

??HUH??
Who would put that on Facebook?!
OH... Now I get you. I just HAD to tell "someone"!


Yes Facebook, you did it again~

Ok, not like I don't expect people to take note of my status on Facebook since I was the one who posted it
But.. People at work seems like those who login their Facebook once a year that kind lo..

I still can't accept that fact that.. I'm under such scrutiny
Ironically though, I still post things up, and yes.. still blogging for sure!

Maybe its time to accept that workmates can be friends too hor..?
Then maybe I will feel better and less "naked"? hor...?
