I finally found the courage to resume my braces treatment yesterday after 8 looooong months of removing them for my wedding last year. As expected, my dentist wasn't too happy with the delay and lectured me quite sternly. I was practically squirming guiltily in my seat without daring to utter a single word.
So anyway, this is my 21st visit to have my upper and lower braces fitted again after the looooong break. Think initially the dentist wanted to fit only the upper braces but in the end decided to do both at one go. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as bad as I expected it to be. Sure, I was a little sore when I got up this morning... but it was nothing too unbearable... and THANK GOD for that...
However, since my upper jaw is larger than my lower jaw... with both upper & lower braces fitted, I will end up biting into the lower jaw braces and potentially bite off the wire... So... the dentist put 2 bite blocks (which is really a clump of hard clay) at my forth upper tooth (both left and right)... it was so near my front teeth that when I smile, it can be seen... and worst still... when I bite, there is this HUGE gap between my upper and lower jaw separated by this 2 clump of clays!!! In short, that meant that I cannot chew ANYTHING... and will either have to take porridge or bread with milo everyday for the next 6 months!!!

Come to think of it... I've actually completed my payment for the braces treatment... so if the dentist is calculative... he could've just ignored me... for all upcoming visits to tighten my braces will be F.O.C from now on... So ya... thank you dentist...

HIP - Living Room
HIP in progress...
We spent close to 3 weeks hunting for a brand new sofa. Initially, we thought that our requirement was pretty simple... All we wanted to get was a simple L-shaped, leather sofa... how hard would that be right?
Wrong!!!
Buying a sofa is like contemplating a marriage!!!
So many different things to think about!!!
But that wasn't the end of it. 10 minutes later, on our way home... we suddenly, collectively agreed that the 3-seater we paid a deposit for was way too short for our living room... and that we should have opted for the 4-seater instead... SO we found ourselves frantically calling the shop again to change the specs of the sofa from a 3-seater to a 4-seater one... (am certain the lady thinks we're both mad)... hahahaha...
Nevertheless, here's the L-shaped, leather sofa we now have at our weekend home... and OH... it has 2 special functionalities that helped us make up our minds... (1) Expandable seats - apart from the single "L" seat, all the rest of the 3 other seats are expandable so in actual fact... this is a 4-L sofa... hahaha... and (2) Adjustable headrest - the headrest can be adjusted to whichever angle one prefers...
Next HIP item... dining set... :D

Wrong!!!
Buying a sofa is like contemplating a marriage!!!
So many different things to think about!!!
- The type of leather (leatherbond, half leather, full leather, thick leather)
- Functionalities (expandable seats, reclining back, adjustable headrest)
- Leg materials (wood, metal, chrome, stainless steel)
- Number of seats (3-seater, 4-seater)
- Size of seats (8-feet, 9-feet, 10-feet in width)
- Brand name (obviously, the branded one will cost more la)
But that wasn't the end of it. 10 minutes later, on our way home... we suddenly, collectively agreed that the 3-seater we paid a deposit for was way too short for our living room... and that we should have opted for the 4-seater instead...

HIP - TV Area
I realized that I call my husband so many different names on this blog... first it was Alan... then OWLoon cos that's his nickname to Dee sometimes cos' that's what I call him and now Hb which stands for hubby... So from now onwards, think I will just address him as Hb lah... easier...
So anyway, Hb and I are on a Home Improvement Project (code named: HIP).
The last time we did that was prior to our wedding... the reburbishment of the entire master bedroom and attached toilet... where every single item was brand new from wall colours to built in wardrobe to furniture to electrical items... everything! But because we repainted the entire house and re-wired the whole place during the last HIP... this time round, our HIP involves only furniture hunting! But guess what??? HIP - Furniture is so much more FUN than HIP - Renovation!!! At least, there are WAY less mess to clean up... :D
So anyway, our HIP - Furniture project started with our living room where we started our hunt for sofa, TV rack, coffee table, lamps and wallpapers... It took us forever to decide and to agree on what to buy... that in the end, we found our TV sitting on the floor pathetically...
What happened was this... We asked the guard at our place if he'd be interested to have our old bulky 34 inch TV along with its TV rack... and he immediately said YES!!! But he was so happy that together with the gardener, they came and carried both the items away on the same day itself (actually, it was more like within 10 minutes of Hb asking him...)! So with the TV AND THE TV RACK gone, we had no choice but to force ourselves to relook at all our previous choices...
That day, we went to Klang and purchased 4 items... and luckily... managed to get them all delivered on the same day itself...!!! We bought a TV rack with a matching coffee table... and best of all, 2 lamps that we really liked... one standing lamp and the other one being a table lamp!
For sentimental purposes... here's how our old bulky TV and rack looks like... hehehe... Hb and I nearly d.i.e.d of exhaustion moving it to the side of our living room to make way for our flatscreen TV...!!!
The following day, we went to another outlet in PJ to place our deposit for the sofa... but unlike the outlet in Klang, delivery can only be made 10 working days later!!! So yala... that's a post on its own for some other day...
Oh and before I forget, since we are focussing on the living room first, we only added blinds to hide away the naked windows... in our kitchen... :)
Ahhh... the joy of shopping!!! :D

Exclusive F.1 Experience
Aiyor, this is like super overdue... Was supposed to write about my experience at the M.a.l.a.y.s.i.a.n G.r.a.n.d P.r.i.x but ahem... C.h.i.n.e.s.e G.r.a.n.d P.r.i.x also over di! But nevermind la, better late than never...
To be honest... I don't watch F.1. and somehow, I find the "vroom vroom" sound... therapeutic! Say if I try watching it on TV... my eyelids will weigh heavier and heavier by the minute and I will most often doze off... BUT... BUT... 2 weeks ago... I had the chance to visit the S.e.p.a.n.g I.n.t.e.r.n.a.t.i.o.n.a.l C.i.r.c.u.i.t (S.I.C) for the 1st time in my life to watch the practice sessions and I must say that even for a non-fan like me... I found the experience totally amazing!
Here's an account on what happened...
We visited S.I.C on Thursday for a quick tour and meeting with the L.o.t.u.s R.a.c.i.n.g team and thereafter... we were given a tour at L.o.t.u.s R.a.c.i.n.g garage itself.... Here, we were given a quick explanation on how the team members communicate with one another like how they each have 2 sets of headsets which only dedicated personnel are allowed to talk to the drivers... the types of tyres... and of course... the L.o.t.u.s R.a.c.i.n.g car itself... all in close proximity!!!
On our way out... I walked past a driver dressed in Red and for a split second, he was just next to me... I didn't know who he was but my colleagues were practically hyperventilating at the sight of this guy... cos you know why? He's F.e.r.n.a.n.d.o A.l.o.n.s.o from the F.e.r.r.a.r.i team!!! At the car park, while waiting for our driver (we were driven in our company's Alphard cos' there were limited parking passes), we saw yet another driver (or ex-driver)... but this time round, I knew who he was la... A.l.e.x. Y.o.o.n.g... haha...
The following day, we all gathered at our office lobby at ~8.30am where our company drivers picked us up. The entire experience was quite similar to those "rombongan sambil belajar" that I used to attend in primary school... hahaha... totally fun and exciting!!! At S.I.C, we made our way to the P.a.d.d.o.c.k C.l.u.b which is really the most exclusive viewing deck in S.I.C. The L.o.t.u.s R.a.c.i.n.g P.a.d.d.o.c.k C.l.u.b was located just above the L.o.t.u.s R.a.c.i.n.g garage and that meant that we have superb view of the car(s) coming in and out of the pit!
The P.a.d.d.o.c.k C.l.u.b faces the G.r.a.n.d S.t.a.n.d and offers superb view of other cars coming out of their pit:
The thing with this P.a.d.d.o.c.k C.l.u.b is that, it comes complete with buffet, free flow of wine / champagne, coffee, tea, snacks, ice creams etc served by super cute model-looking guys and gals (all "ang moh" btw). Next door, at the general hospitality area, there were even free foot massages, free photo taking, free snacks and lots of official merchandise (for sale)! Uber cool!
After the practice sessions, we met H.e.i.k.k.i K.o.v.a.l.a.i.n.e.n and F.a.i.r.u.z F.a.u.z.y of L.o.t.u.s R.a.c.i.n.g... both were very friendly and accommodating to the numerous requests for photo taking. :-) Heck, I even met the T.e.a.m P.r.i.n.c.i.p.a.l, T.o.n.y F.e.r.n.a.n.d.e.s himself (btw, I absolutely love the way he tweets live from the p.i.t w.a.l.l during races!!!).
Then, it was time for the most awaited moment!!! The p.i.t l.a.n.e w.a.l.k!!! The p.i.t l.a.n.e is really the lane where cars drive into for their p.i.t s.t.o.p. And as part of the experience, we were given an hour to walk the p.i.t l.a.n.e where all the cars garage are located... Since we all wore the L.o.t.u.s R.a.c.i.n.g tag, we were given access into the L.o.t.u.s R.a.c.i.n.g garage... and here we took numerous shots again... before continuing our walk down the pit lane...
Along the pit lane, we had the chance to see all the other teams' cars... F.e.r.r.a.r.i, M.c.L.a.r.r.e.n... you name it...
Surprisingly, when we passed R.e.d B.u.l.l's garage, the lady asked me and another colleague if we would like to enter their garage! We obviously said YES (much to the envy of those who weren't invited in... hahaha)!!! Think it was because of their generosity in allowing us in, S.e.b.a.s.t.i.a.n V.e.t.t.e.l and M.a.r.k W.e.b.b.e.r (both from the R.e.d.b.u.l.l team) won 1st and 2nd place! Kakakaka...
All in all, the experience was truly amazing and I had the time of my life! :D

Anniversary Celebration
Hmmm... so many things happened in the past few weeks... and I have tonnes to update on this blog... like how we spent our 13th anniversary together... how I had the most exclusive weekend at the F.1. race in S.e.p.a.n.g... how we went furniture shopping like mad... and a whole load more... so let's see... shall start with our anniversary dinner...
We met 13 years ago on March 17... and this will be the first year we celebrate our anniversary as a married couple. Instead of having romantic dinner outside... my hubby suggested that he cook me a nice meal... It came as a surprise to me on several levels... First was... "Awwww... he remembered!!!" and then followed by... "Awwww... so sweet...(considering that yours truly can't cook for nuts)...". But then after that... it just seemed way too troublesome to cook... and hence, I suggested we do steamboat at home instead...
Prior to us buying anything... we went and got all the condiments first... and ended up with so many varieties that it occupied half of our kitchen cabinet...
And then... we bought fresh vege from Cold Storage... not just one type but 4 to 5 different types... cos' we can't figure out which type we like... hahahaha... My hubby also went and collect the fresh mantis prawns he ordered from the fisherman along with some other seafood... My in laws also bought us food cos they were worried that we won't know how to select fresh seafood... Little did they know... we have already purchased a whole load of other seafood!!! The photo on the bottom right only shows a fraction of what we had...
When my hubby went and collect some of the stuffs that my in laws bought that evening, they casually mentioned... "You all eat first la... we will come later..." O_o... But but... it was meant to be our romantic dinner at home!!! Nevertheless, we didn't have the heart to say no to them... so at 7-ish... we all had our "anniversary" dinner together... :-)
After they left... we were still left with lotssssssssss of food... so we called our friend; Jackson to join us... while my hubby and I proceeded with our 2nd round... After our 3rd round... we both were so stuffed that we felt like puking... Still... there were leftovers... enough to feed another 6pax!!! In the end, I called my parents and told them that we'd be having steamboat the following night... hahahaha...
So that was how we celebrated our 13th anniversary... stuffed ourselves silly!!! :-)

Crazy Auntie
Attended M.o.b.i.l.e Y.o.u.t.h yesterday and one of the biggest highlights was meeting Timothy Tiah in person:
It was kinda funny and I think Tim must have thought I'm a mad auntie stalking him... The moment he stepped in, I was so eager to go up to him and say hello... but each time I looked at him, he was always surrounded by a group of people... In the end... before I left... I walked up to him, tapped his shoulder and said: "Hi!!! You must be Timothy Tiah... I read your blog!".
Although this was the first time I met him in person, I felt as if I've known him for ages... thanks to his blog and Twitter... so imagine my excitement when I get to see him in person... He casually asked if I own a blog to which I responded by saying I do but is still in the midst of contemplating whether I should actively promote it or keep it low key as it is now...
I must say... he is a friendly guy who is quick to strike up conversations... (either that or he's used to excited strangers approaching him). He told me a story about his friend who wrote about a poll being manipulated by the "g.o.v.t"... and overnight his blog became popular. All was fine and dandy but I think I was a bit flabbergasted during the conversation... cos I dumbly said "Why?" when he told me the story about the unusual spike trend...Come to think of it... it was obvious that it was manipulated... but I had do dumbly say "Why?". Oh well... there goes his first impression of this weird auntie...
So ya... he definitely made my day... cos' I've always admired his courage and determination to venture out on his own despite his age... (btw, he looks younger in person than in photos)... So you see... never underestimate the power of bloggers... cos' this young dude made me feel nervous and excited at the same time... just like the feeling of meeting A.v.r.i.l L.a.v.i.g.n.e, G.w.e.n S.t.e.f.a.n.i, S.e.a.n K.i.n.g.s.t.o.n etc etc in person... weird but true... :-)

So you see... never underestimate the power of bloggers... cos' this young dude made me feel nervous and excited at the same time... just like the feeling of meeting A.v.r.i.l L.a.v.i.g.n.e, G.w.e.n S.t.e.f.a.n.i, S.e.a.n K.i.n.g.s.t.o.n etc etc in person... weird but true... :-)
