Never Know What Titles to Use for Posts Like These
July 14th, 2010
and so i’m back home, lovingly wrapped in the familiar mid-year haze and the sounds of the tau foo far man trundling through the suburban afternoon. i’ve been home for a little less than a week now, and my activity spent so far can be summarized as a heady mix of slothful and irresponsible. four days of unadulterated sleep, eat and play have done much for my soul! i would gladly extend this hedonism, but alas, work knocks on my door.
i love my new job! actually, it’s probably too early to assert that, because it’s only my third day on the internship. can’t talk much about the job as usual (at least this time there wasn’t a discretion contract to sign), but it’s been all sorts of fantastic so far. well-defined hours, a wide spectrum of tasks, flexibility to choose what i want to be involved in, exciting and meaningful work, and a great boss — he took me out with some other colleagues yesterday for a bak kut teh lunch at a secret spot in old klang road. bak kut teh!!! i dont see how lunchtime gets any better than this! plus i get my own room at the office, and my colleagues keep feeding me various snacks. best! :D
also, there has been a new addition to my household:
2 month old male pomeranian, nameless as of now, belongs to Tall Brother and his girlfriend. this comes after many years of me begging my parents to let me keep a dog, which for as long as i can remember has been met with dismissive and unreasonable rejection. and they thought it fine to mention the new puppy to me only mere hours before i was to fly back. so, being the green-eyed monster that i am, i was feeling quite resentful throughout the flight, and vowed to not talk to the dog when i see it at home. BUT THEN they brought it with them to the airport, all swaddled in soft cloth, looking absolutely angelic – and it was love at first sight. how does one not love something that looks like that! i mean, look at it:
sigh. defeated by cuteness. now i have to play with it every day or i can’t sleep. i also have to excuse myself early from my appointments so that i can go home and see it. even the fact that it has no name is quite cute.
in other news, i just picked up a Blackberry yesterday. i havent played with it too much yet, but some preliminary comparisons with the iPhone 4 are that the BB’s OS is more robust and takes functional to a new level. but being a fairly new user on both phones, i have to say that the iPhone is much more new user friendly. i didnt once have to look at the manual when i got the iPhone, but there was a lot of fiddling around with the BB before i knew what went where (eg how do i close all apps simultaneously??). the BB reminds me of using a PC after spending some time on a Macbook — too many clicks needed and a lot of clutter when i’m trying to do something simple. i do think that once you go touch screen, you can’t ever go back (or at least that’s the case for me), and customizable touch screens are going to be a bare necessity for smartphones in time to come. but then again i’m quite n00b when it comes to this stuff :) so i’m going to play around with the BB for a little bit more before i verbalize any further opinions. but if someone could tell me how i can quickly and painlessly transfer my contacts from the phone memory (inbuilt memory, not SIM or SD card memory) of my former Nokia N82 to the BB, i would be very grateful. currently i have all the contacts copied to the SD card as well, and sending via bluetooth seems to not work for some reason. i’d like to avoid going to a store, but if i must then i guess i must…
oh before i forget! dear folks, are there any new eats in the Klang Valley that are absolute must-tries? i’ve been hitting up all my old favourites in the past week, but i hear the dining and hawker scene has sprouted some new limbs lately with places like solaris, brickfields and hartamas undergoing some metamorphoses. i actually haven’t been to cristang yet, so i suppose that’s my next to-do. i’d muchly appreciate more suggestions of places that have just opened, or even old places that have revamped themselves!
also, just one last time:

4. ronin | July 14th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
Welcome home! But in my opinion cristang is overrated. Not half as good as some of the food bloggers made out to be and not cheap too.
5. anonymous | July 14th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
hihi pinkpau i love reading ur blog! awww the puppy is so cute! maybe should name it as ‘no-name’ :P
6. andrewhedgehogging | July 14th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
on the old phone go to contacts > copy all to SIM
put the SIM in the blackberry, go to address book > menu > sim phone book > menu > copy all to address book
7. ShaolinTiger | July 15th, 2010 at 12:05 am
Haha you missed the Cristang heydays, it’s not so good now.
8. Lisa Cheah | July 15th, 2010 at 12:47 am
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, the puppy is so cute!
Sorry I cant help with either the BB questions or where to eat question. Just had to drop a comment about how adorable “no name” is anyways.
9. kafka | July 15th, 2010 at 4:18 am
dont be fooled – this cute dog is fearless! except when confronted with daunting life decisions like going up/down stairs…
10. undergraduate | July 15th, 2010 at 5:16 am
GOSH~~ The puppy is C.U.T.E.!
11. k0k | July 15th, 2010 at 5:44 am
my favourite doggu quote is by sue murphy;
“Did you ever walk in a room and forget why you walked in? I think that’s how dogs spend their lives.”
anonymous pom pup looks like its almost all fur! it reminds me of the susuwatari in my neighbor totoro and spirited away, haha. just HOW did you get it to stay put like that while you take a photograph i’ll never know!
and yeah, i meant to spell doggu that way :)
12. adelyn | July 15th, 2010 at 5:48 am

@ 9
as far as history goes, any dog under ann’s care always turns ‘athletic’ ….racing up/down stairs is the least of the problems soon..mark my words hahaha..
20. ront | July 15th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
“…four days of unadulterated sleep…” that sounds really familiar…
21. ront | July 15th, 2010 at 4:00 pm
by the way your dog is screaming of names like….Fluffball, Powerpuff, Loofah the IV, etc

I’m a pom lover myself and I name my imaginary pom Preston. (Imaginary cos mommy wouldn’t approve of keeping a dog in our condominium le sigh :( )
I myself am a BB user, and I love it to bits! You’ll get used to it very soon and you won’t let it leave your palms, trust me! ;)
As to foods, come to Melaka and try Nadeje’s. Their layered cheese cake is to die for. Yeap, LAYERED cheese cake :D ask me for the directions if you’re interested! :)

26. fizzlepop | July 17th, 2010 at 3:04 am
maybe my mind’s the gutter but i keep reading pom as porn.
27. fizzlepop | July 17th, 2010 at 3:09 am
i.e. from Smeech “I’m a porn lover myself and I name my imaginary porn Preston”
i’m calling mine the old spice man for now, but that changes from time to time.
28. Smeech | July 17th, 2010 at 11:23 am
@fizzlepop: you need a pair of reading glasses

Wow, since when did they make dogs like that? It’s like a breed of a MaineCoon Cat + Poodle and that it eats only kelloggs cereals for breakfast and.. thats about all it eats, right? Cute!
