Have you seen anything quite like it?

I found the Prettiest Flower in the World. It looks like its made of tissues. We found it blooming on a tree around some kampung houses. Mom says its called "fu rong hua" or "fu yong fa" depending on what dialect your're using (cantonese or mandarin) anddddddd in English it means Seremban Flower :) :)
(Which makes me buzz a little cos Hey! My Parent's Hometown's Seremban!)


When I get married I'll wear it in my hair.

According to Mom (source of all horticultural wisdom and knowledge), this flower, when it blooms in the morning is white in colour, and as the day progresses, turns pinker and pinker and at the end of the day is a deep pink. Loves it. It blooms for just a day. But you can find it all year round.


This calls for comparisons to like Consider The Lilies of The Field!.. and Oh How Fleeting is Your Life!

So pretty kan?

Yesterday at Dewan

0850: Pick up sticker for Free Parking from Mr. Ong.

0900: Too early to go to Dewan. Eat Tosai Bawang at Little India.

0920: Look for parking.

0940: Make it to Gate A entrance into Dewan.

0942: Guard say cannot go in cos skirt's too short.

0945: Other Guards suggest I exchange skirt for the guard's pants.

0947: Laugh too loud with guards. Miss Ong comes out to shush us.

0953: Pinjam knife from guard. Cut skirt's hem so its long enough. Guards are from KOMTAR. Its good to be friends with guards.

1005: Thinks YB Speaker's pretty good looking.. sketches Dewan's sitting.

1010: Try to see how many people I can recognise in Dewan.

...

I'm still torn. Have you heard of Dyson?
And then there's this.
Tomorrow after Dewan I will go wax my legs.

Isn't it Ironic?

Just now at church right, this cute boy walks in. Tinggi dan tegap, his badan was so cantik but his muka not so la.. but still ok la.. I was checking him out all through service.. (hee)
(There was a girl next to him and yeah I was ignoring her cos she's like inconsequential if you know what I mean.. hehe)

Service ends and the first thing he does is head to the front, wave at my mom, go shake her hand and talk to her like they're old friends. I'm like all impressed, excited thinking wahh who's this?? got chance d now... So I inch closer to them.

First thing I hear as I get closer to them is him saying, "this is my Wife!" in referring to the girl who was with him.

Yes. Tragic. Its like meeting the man of your dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife.
...


After that his mom turns up and starts going all friendly on me, "Oh you're Rachel! You used to come to my house all the time last time! You were very young then.. Still breastfeeding until quite big I remember!"
And my face goes flaming red.

(Yes I was breastfeeding til I was like almost 2 years old? Hence why I'm build like a cow.)

No I don't remember going to her house every night last time. Old family friends apparently. Sorry Aunty.

After that the hottie comes over to chat.. But no its just not the same anymore with his wife there..
...

So its true yeah.. All the good guys are taken?

1:36 AM M: I also just say that you looked good in the brown dress with the white dots the other day.

me: oh.

1:37 AM M: maybe a bit which is good

me: HMMMM

M: one can see there is a woman in the dress not a bone.

1:38 AM me: ahahahaha
