Fingers crossed + some random rants

Yes, I know that an update is way overdue. I've given the celcom broadband USB modem back to my brother, so I'm not able to come online and update whenever I want. It's such a hassle.

Besides, there's so many things happening simultaneously (which is mentally affecting me quite badly.) that I'm having difficulties writing all of it down and to slowly censor out more personal parts. Will probably get on to it seriously and get a proper post up within this coming week.

Anyway...

I may have just found a job that I'm relatively happy to work with. Will update more about it if I feel like it. =P For now, I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed.

Also, I may just be able to get my hands on a Juicy Couture bag! Replica or the real deal, it will depend on the price that the dealer in Lowyat forum is giving me for the original JC bag that I'm interested with.

IF - and that's a big if - the price quoted is reasonable (I have the currency exchange website to know how much it exactly costs. So if she were to charge me slightly higher for handling fees, I won't mind.) then I'd go for the real Juicy.

Or else, I'll settle for a just as pretty but way cheaper JC replica bag.

Though for the money I'm spending to get that replica, I might as well top up a few hundred bucks for the original. Oh please, please let the dealer quote me a reasonable price! I'd so rather get an original JC bag than a fake replica!

Dad bought a semi-professional camera for the family. A Panasonic Lumix FZ28, me thinks. Pictures are lovely, but really, the thing is so bulky I wouldn't even take it out of the house.

Since the family already have a camera, I guess I won't be getting the high end Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 anymore. Will probably get the FT15 instead when I deem necessary. It's not that I don't like the semi-pro camera (I'm such a bitch, ain't I? Some would be happy that they even HAVE a camera and here I am complaining about a camera that I've pretty much gotten free) but what I want now is a camera which I can bring about easily, instead of one that could not even fit into my bag. More rants regarding this in future posts, since I'm really unhappy about it.

And although initially sceptic, my bro seem to love the thing now. So whatever, it seems like I won't even get to use the camera whether I like it or not.

Had dinner with my brothers' girlfriends' parents together with my parents and Uncle Francis to celebrate Fathers Day.

Went to Klang Seafood restaurant, since the seafood restaurant that we had initially plan to go was fully booked to the brim. (Seriously. Recession or not, Klang [Chinese] people go MAD when it comes to good seafood restaurants)

I realised that while I'm not a terribly good food taster (actually, I sucked at food tasting) and am pretty much flexible with what goes into my stomach, I've been rather (note: VERY) picky with what I eat lately.

While everyone was all praising the dinner that they just had, I thought that although the steamed fish was very fresh, the meat was not as smooth as I expected it to be.

The mixed vege (cauliflower + broccoli + green peas + prawn + some other vege I can't remember) was quite hard... I'd prefer that they cook/steam it slightly longer.

And urgh! The "kam heong" crabs tasted more like curry powder crabs! I would not complain about the crabs being old, hence having EXTREMELY HARD SHELL, because really, that's no one's fault.

But geez, crabs are my favourite seafood (after fish)! The place being jam packed isn't a reason for them to slack off on any given dish! If it weren't for my brother and dad who kept giving me pieces of crabs that they had so nicely cracked the shell off, I would not have taken more than 2 piece of the dish.

On a side note, isn't it ironic that a Cancerian loves eating crabs? Gosh, I feel kinda bad about eating crabs now... but not enough to stop anyway. Soft shell crabs! =D~
