Over The Long Weekend
May 20th, 2008
things i did over the weekend:
1. killed my laptop. somehow the AC adapter doesnt work anymore and i can no longer turn on my laptop because it ran out of battery too. how now brown cow? can i just buy adaptors from the shops or do i have to place an order with the brand and wait X number of working days? or should i muster up my best hissy fit skillz and scream at the shop about how they sold me a faulty compter and demand a full refund? ok maybe not. now i’m hoping that my mom’s laptop, by some fluke of heavenly luck, uses the same adapter as mine. /prays
2. ate half of an entire chocolate cake by myself, and this is admitted with much unabashedness. because Awfully Chocolate makes the best cakes in the world. the WORLD!!! the other cake-halve is sitting beside me on the floor and i know not what to do with it. no, TamTim, i am not leaving the cake for you because i know you are never going to collect it. waste money only.
3. slept properly. oh, so glorious. but this was only because i was forced to sleep and wake up at certain times and was also fed this really icky sleep enhancement tea. gross. but now that the weekend is over, i am guessing i will go back to my nocturnal normalcy within the next few days. remember, if you see me online or out and about anytime after 1am (that’s my new self-imposed bedtime, haih), it’s a bad thing and you must scold me :\
4. played Monopoly with an investment banker and a soon-to-be trader who has serious aspirations of taking over the world. needless to say, i was badly thrashed. no houses, no hotels, not even a full set of unicolor property. the game ended when i had to pay some 9,000 bucks for a hotel stay. ridiculity!!!!! i will never again play Monopoly with finance banker-type people because they’re all out to take away my money and actually know how to do it. so we ended up playing this version of Charades called Pink Elephant. that was fun! some funny cards we got - Bob Dylan (guessed within 3 seconds), stairway to heaven, Marilyn Monroe (the impersonation looked like someone who badly needed the toilet), cactus (this took forever to guess).
5. discovered this new species of bird called the Dudu Bird and an amazing Australian landscape artist called Edgar Valentino. oh yes.
6. ate olive rice for the first time. very nice!!! only i was half-crying into my rice and ignoring the person sitting at a northeast direction from me. the person sitting in between us was in a rather awkward position because he was the mediator of the day but i was too upset and angry to save him from the awkwardness. plus he’s a big boy, surely he can handle himself in difficult social situations!
7. began plans for the next big party i am helping to organize! ooh the excitement! we have the BEST and most APPROPRIATE theme, courtesy of my brain. *curtsies
8. found out my blood type! yes yes.. in addition to not having a bank account, not having a driver’s license and not knowing what my chinese name is (omg why am i exposing all my memalukan stories here), i also dont know my blood type. but i finally know it! because Martian is on this blood type diet thingy where he eats food that’s good for his bloodtype and avoids those that aren’t, and he’s so excited about it that he made me go find out my bloodtype so i could join him in his dietary pursuits. he’s an O-type, and that is a damn complicated diet because he can’t eat so many things. hehe he can’t eat wheat, which means no FLOUR, which means no ANYTHING. hahahaha! anyways my bloodtype is A positive. i got a great lifedeal cos there arent very many things that are bad for me. and all my favourite food is good for me! yay. but wait… i’m not supposed to care about this diet. i dont care about bloodtypes. i dont care about bloodtypes. i dont care about bloodtypes. derek is with rose.
9. watched Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. OH MY GOD SO HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!! i am going to hunt down the DVD and give it out as birthday presents for all my guy friends. the poem featured in it titled ‘The Square Root of Three’ is the most fantabulous work of art i’ve ever beheld, haha! then i also watched Made of Honor and that was good because it has McDreamy in it *wistful sigh* sometimes i have this sneaking suspicion that i am a little bit obsessed with him.
10. fell in love
———————–
i actually have lots of nice pictures to share, but because my laptop died and this one doesnt have an SD card reader, i cant upload my pictures. haih emoe. take nice pictures also no point, cannot show people anyway.
the other day i had a meeting with a client for an advertorial on my blog. it’s for a really famous brand that we all know, and it’s all about warmth and love and care. this brand also has some of the most heart-warming commercials, though they arent shown here in malaysia. so i met with the client, and she was telling me about some of her products, as well as some really touching stories about her customers. and then she started crying cos the stories she had to tell were so emotional. i couldnt help but feel emo too. it was a great meeting. i wish more blog clients were like her :) i’m really looking forward to writing the advertorial, and i really hope i can write it well.
it’s SUMMER!!!!!!! so that means everyone is home!!!!!!!! i cant wait i cant wait i cant wait i cant wait. let’s hang out, people :) movies, dinners, kite-flying, go-karting, ice cream, swimming, roadtirps, PENANG!, scuba diving, subang rojak, camwhoring in carparks, Dota, baking cakes - here we come! 3 full months of glorious fun and friends. yum yum.

4. nana | May 20th, 2008 at 11:07 am
i like coming into office in the morning at 1045 and seeing an entry from you posted only minutes ago : )
the feeling of having a pink checkered page with words becoming a little closer, a little more real to me.
ohhhh i am an O blood type too, i cant eat flour?! kill me.
and awfully chocolate’s office (SG) is just down the road from me. sinfully rich chocolate cakes.
5. iamdoryfish | May 20th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Pink Pau, my blood type is A+ too. Please share with me, on what to eat and what’s not!!! :P
so you took the tea instead of sleeping pills! YEAH!

6. kimberlycun | May 20th, 2008 at 11:08 am

7. pinkpau | May 20th, 2008 at 11:19 am
ky : secret!! omg dudu you also same like him. it’s DODO
nana : thank you :) comments like yours are why i love blogging. and yesss that means no awfully chocolate cake for you too! :P do you work at the CBD?
iamdoryfish : haha whyyyyy you want to follow this blood type diet! it’s very stressful wan, everywhere you go you have to watch what you eat. haih. okay you and i, we are The Cultivators! meaning vegetables and grains are good for us, and we’re the only bloodtype that can take wheat (flour!) well. and um.. peanut butter and chocolate are good for us. and cheese and red meat generally arent very good. white meat’s good/ okay that’s all i know hahaha i’m so lousy at this
kimberlycun : i know lah!! hahahaha. if i didnt, i should go to translyvania and study instead of penn!!
8. greenie | May 20th, 2008 at 11:19 am
hmm, if the laptops are of the same brand, they use the same adapter. before you plug it in, check the voltage and the current.
you should also check if it’s the ac adapter itself or the electric cord attached to it for the outlet. because people tend to twist and turn the cord, it could just be the electric cord problem and that’s easier to replace.
good luck.
9. songjun | May 20th, 2008 at 11:24 am
what love all faster tell meeeeeee
ok tell me later, have to study finance ahhhhhhhh
10. Jeff from LA | May 20th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Greenie’s almost correct. Some brands use the same adapter. For example, Dell is good about this. Unfortunately, if you have a Sony VAIO like me, they keep changing their adapters with each generation of laptop they come out with, so you have to find someone who has a laptop of the same generation as you. I know this because I have 2 VAIO laptops and the adapter for one laptop does not work for the other one.
If you can find some way to claim warranty though, I would really try hard to do that. If your computer is less than one year old, you are probably still under manufacturer warranty.
11. Jeff from LA | May 20th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Also regarding the half-crying part of your entry - you sound like you need a hug, so:
*Hug*
12. ronin | May 20th, 2008 at 11:58 am

19. Andy | May 20th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
I’m sure you’ll be able to find your power adapter unless its some kind of weird brand. Warranty?
I’ve been alive for 20+ years and I still don’t know my blood type, sigh. And why don’t you know your chinese name? O_o
Harold+Kumar is out in Malaysia? Guh I don’t know how long more I have to wait here.. :(
Btw, its only summer for people in the Northern Hemisphere, so I guess you don’t have much friends in the Southern Hemisphere, since you’re so happy about mid-year summer :P
20. michellesy | May 20th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
# 6 - Why were you crying Su Ann =( Hope you’re feeling better now? *hugs*
# 8 - I’m blood type B and I can’t have chicken! WTF, what ridiculousness is this! Probably explains why I took one look at the diet plan, thumbed my nose at it and never reconsidered =P
# 10 - When do we get to (figuratively) meet the lucky man - if we haven’t met him already hehehe! So you’re happier now babe? You sound really chirpy and cheerful in this post (broken laptop non-withstanding) =)
21. *dAwN | May 20th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
I’m blood type A, like you ;) I’ve also heard about this eating with blood type thing from my boss.. Too much of a hassle for me though.. but someone i know had been following that diet rigorously and he’s quite healthy even though he’s over 50.. Looks really young.. hehe
22. nick c | May 20th, 2008 at 3:27 pm

34. Jun | May 20th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
intellectuals on the bloodtype diet. seriously??! (i know, ur answer is gonna be: seriously.) ;p

37. Alvin | May 20th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Hey,read about the blood type related diet..I’m doubting it but no harm trying..I would love to advice that u better do a bit of research on that and ask a doctor as lack of certain vitamins or minerals from wheat or other food might even cause more problems!Consult ur doctor really… =)
38. k0k | May 20th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
My blood type is… a good advice. Good advice that us pessimists should take :P
39. Artificially TamTim | May 20th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
wah. whoever guessed bob dylan in 3 seconds must be damn smart. how does one guess the charade bob dylan from any other folk singer?
40. scott | May 21st, 2008 at 12:26 am
Su Ann, don’t you know the secret rule of Monopoly and all board games in general?
Pretty Girls Make The Rules (or else they’ll find some other friends to play with). At least, that’s how Ooseung plays Monopoly, and Chess, and Uno, and ….
41. Kevin Chan | May 21st, 2008 at 12:43 am
Hey su ann! All I remember of my long weekend is that I just kept getting angrier and angrier at mahathir!
Just hoping that you’ll read about it too on my blog and hopefully write about it.
We bloggers have to do something about racial politics! It just gets under my nerves! ARRGH!
Thanks for ‘letting’ me rant on your blog.
Keep in good health girl!

Ooo… what party will you be organizing next? Must be fun! :))
I saw this ‘how now brown cow’ line somewhere else and I’m wondering what does it mean. Is it from a joke or something? Like how ‘I keel you’ is from Achmeed. xD
I never go on a diet before. I loveee food too much to forego anything! :) Btw, is subang rojak the one near gazebo and the shell petrol station?
Anyway, glad to hear that you’re going to have 3 months of fun and friends! You deserve it gal! :))
48. sieutheng | May 21st, 2008 at 2:25 pm

freddy is back let’s go to his hse whether he likes it or not. we’ll plan everything n he will be the last to be notified, as usual.
49. Charlie | May 21st, 2008 at 5:15 pm
EH!!! There’s this restaurant in DJ that’s perfect for all these blood-type dieting things. The menu is separated into different sections for types A, B, AB and O. I’m B so I get all the red meat :d Slurp
Thank God the strict sleep routine is working out for you man. If I see you online at 3 in the morning I’m going to nudge you until you sign off in frustration! Appearing offline not allowed ok. Ok.
50. pinkpau | May 21st, 2008 at 6:06 pm

nick c : ahh dont worry! martian supports it :)
pinkshirtz : luckily for me i didnt have to go buy a new adapter! my mom’s laptop is the same brand :) aiyo the cactus i tell you. at first he tried drawing the shape of a cactus with his hands, then he mimed himself getting poked. then he mimed a cowboy shootout?? then he did a person crawling around in the desert. hahaha it took FOREVER to guess. we only guessed it when he mimed a chopping action and made like he was drinking water from what he chopped. hahaha
james : no, but that would have been too obvious :P
sheon : there’s actually a really detailed list of what specific veges and meats we can or cannot eat .. but i dont remember :P the gist of it is that grains and vegetables are good for us, and so is white meat. what’s bad for us - pork, red meat, cheese. we’re the only blood type that can take wheat well; all others cant. peanuts are also extremely good for us! :D dairy products not so good.
finn : HAHA OMG! yes my otherworldy friend was there too :) we were having ice cream at island creamery. teh tarik and pulut hitam ice cream, yum yum
jo : nooo they dont :(
therealanon : CAN!! :D
michelle : it does, actually :P but this is a closed party anyway!

aronil : i couldnt find any :( all the voltage not ngam. and the people at the shops advised against using it for laptop. haih!
sha : hehehe “do you like giving handjobs? no sir! well then do you like receiving handjobs? well.. yeah. well then that makes you a hypocriticizer too!!”
melissa : i hope you are an A type then :D peanut butter is good for A types! extremely beneficial in fact
jun : omg rose is not cute not not notnntontontotnotnot =( she’s evil =(
martian : so meaningless but true
alvin : haha i dont really follow the diet :P but martian does! apparently whatever nutrients you get from wheat, are better found in other grains that arent as processed. or something. i dont know. he was telling me but i wasnt really listening :P
k0k : what?? haha speak english!
artifically : word on the street is that he’s a megalomaniac out to take over the world!!!
scott : my monopoly rule is Pretty Girls Dont Pay Rent! hmm why does that sound like the title of a porno flick.
kevin : hahaha you are so angsty ! martian hates mahathir just as much as you do
jk : ME TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T______T rose needs to dieeee
tze : what do you mean YA DEREK SHOULD BE WITH ROSE. that is the last thing i want!!!!!!!!!! stupid when i say everyone is back for summer i mean everyone is back for summer and that includes you lah dingbat!!!!!!! so far only like … 4 people are home and the rest arent!

55. Li Hong | May 21st, 2008 at 9:39 pm
hello! just wanna say my dad’s following the blood type diet too and it’s annoying like hell. When he sees me eating oatmeal in the morning, he’ll yell at me like I’m eating poison. God, it’s oatmeal, it’s supposed to be good for my heart. I don’t care if the author of some book says its not good for me. Sources say that the blood type diet isn’t exactly scientifically accurate.
p.s. im type O and im an avid reader of ur blog ;)
56. UncleJosh | May 21st, 2008 at 10:03 pm
hmm… still very jealous of everything~!

58. Andy | May 21st, 2008 at 10:16 pm
I’ve got a month, after the 2nd week of June :)
What you can _try_ to do is to contact the laptop manufacturer via email or something, with your receipt/warranty number.
Good luck! :)
59. songjun | May 21st, 2008 at 11:15 pm
haha because u know u lup me :P
and it wasnt me lar omg
60. sweetheart | May 22nd, 2008 at 12:37 am
The same happened to my laptop a month ago….I went to low yat plaza and bought an adaptor with a few heads - you just choose the one that fits your laptop. It only cost about RM80 - so your laptop can still be saved.
61. pinkshirtz | May 22nd, 2008 at 4:35 pm
hahaha … so funny!!!! bWahaha!!!!!! Cactus a go go!
