Day 3....

Slowly but surely the house is looking better. Both are us are so sore from the move and climbing the stairs. Tonight, we have a date at Terme di Aroma Spa for a well deserve massage. This will be Carl's first time but I hope he will enjoy his rub down. Hee Hee!

Moving day 2

Am I exhausted! I finally have internet. Felt so deprived! So, now I am waiting for the movers and my fridge and also Verizon. I am hoping fridge gets here soon before movers. I can't believe how exhausting it is. I was planning to work but I can't even do it. I have taken 2 naps and ready for my 3rd. Carl is yelling on the other line because I need my beauty sleep. Molly is getting use to the place but still a bit timid. She was trying to see if she want to experience the balcony but decided it wasn't her cup of tea. She likes her daddy's play room and all the bathroom. So, this is life in my new house.

Top Chef

Dena had to remind me that it is the new season of Top Chef. I was not planning to watch but I did yesterday. We caught up. Carl and I are addicted again. I love cooking and I love the way this competition. I also wonder how the hell some of these people gt in. If it was me, how would I cook the eel and snake? Also, what would I make for a upscale barbecue? Would my lamb work? I can't wait till the next episode.

Hereos

Carl got me hooked on this show and I do love it. Well, I have been watching one of my favorite soap opera which is Guiding Light again. It has been awhile. I have not watched the show since I graduated from college(2001). One of my friends from one of my old college(UPitt) got me addicted. You are probably wondering how the hell does it relate to Heroes?

Well, the character that plays Lizzie Spaulding was played by Hayden Panettiere who plays Claire in Hereos. I knew she looked familiar.

Can't wait till the new season.

Finally a fridge has been purchase

It was a hard decision to find the perfect fridge but we did. We got a Ge and it is a beauty. I can't wait to move in and try all my new toys. Carl is packing and I am writing my blog. I like this. Well, we have to label everything that is fragile and those that aren't. Next Thursday, our movers will be here at 9 a.m. I can't wait. Only thing I dread is unpacking. Yuck!!

Can't wait for everyone to check out the place.

We have a grill!!

Dena drove us to Lowes to buy our grill. She got a nice red hot Matrix from Philly Car Share. It was a very nice car and I kinda regret not getting that car. oh Well! I got a grill. It is pretty and big and silver and has a side burner. I can't wait to use it. I am going to grill lamb, burger, corn, hot dogs, and many more. I can't wait!! So excited. Thanks Dena for being so kind and take us to get our grill.

Women In Art

My friend Cat sent me this lovely You Tube video today displaying 500 years of women in art. I really love this video. Enjoy!

PECO is a rip off

I cannot believe this. PECO energy is Philadelphia's only electric service provider. Since I am a new customer I have to pay PECO a $300 deposit to start my service. What happen if I don't pay? I don't get electric. This is a rip off.

Peco will hold on to my $300 deposit not for 3 months but for freaking 12 months and will return my deposit after I pay my bill on time. I don't give a shit if they give it back (well, yes I do) but for them to require a deposit to start your service. This is madness when there are the one and only electric company in Philadelphia and you have to pay up. What the hell! This is monopoly to its best. I still have to get Verizon and the only phone service provider in Philly. If they tell me they need a deposit, I will tell them to shove it up their ass.

I just want to thank those idiots who rip off the utility company and who does not pay on time or don't pay at all. This is what I have to do to get my electric.

Sorry a bit offensive but I am piss!!

Taxing Entertainment

I found this on http://www.ok-cancel.com/ and those who develop site will understand this humor.

A moment to self

It has been rather peaceful here. There are excitement in the air. I can't believe it is almost here. June 27th, Carl and I will moving into our first home together. There are so much to do but yet I don't feel anxiety. I can't wait. Our very first house!! I wonder if I will say this when our wedding approaches. But I am very happy and very content right now. There is not much to complain. Work is great. Life is great.

Memorial Day Weekend!

I have to say it was a fantastic weekend. We had a great time at Rico's house and celebrated his birthday. We still do not have a clue how old he is. Hmmm? We got back on Sunday and we rest. A thunderstorm hit and we were out of power for a while and the emergency generator in out building kicked in. Something happened to my bedroom TV from the storm. It no longer works. i wonder if it got electrocuted.

On Monday, we had a dinner barbeque with our friends. Nothing exciting but something very simple where we eat, be merry, watch TV, pick Dena from the airport, and nap. It was fun and we had a good time lounging around with friends. No, we have to get ready for the move.

Completion of our house!!

This is so exciting. I got a call from the seller regards to our settling date for our house. It will be completed and ready to move in on th 15th of June. I am so excited and thrill that we are moving into our first home together. I can't even believe I finally can buy a house.

are you right or left brained quiz?

I saw it on Dena's blog and I thought "INTERESTING". Here is my result.

You Are 45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?

Grey's Anatomy Finale

I love this show but the finale just piss me off. I know some people probably have not seen it yet but you know what Meredith gets on my nerve and so does Christina. Izzy is an idiot and so is Alex. George needs to get a clue of what he wants. He is always one character that annoys me. He gets the girl and he is not sure if he loves his wife or Izzy. Stupid characters!

Who Killed the Electric Car?

If you have not seen this movie, please rent it. It is so sad what happens to a car that is actually good for our world. The pressure from one major industry can eliminate a whole fleet of them. What is our world coming to?

Root Canal!!

i had my root canal today and it hurts but not so bad. Thank goodness to Advil. I love my endodontist. Dr. Trope is the best and I highly recommend him if you need one. He is very sweet and definitely knows what he is doing. I think I finally have all the best doctors in my life. I still do not like my neuro-opthamologist. He is not a very attentive doctor.

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, another year is gone and a new one just began. I started my birthday in a very bad note. I cried almost half the day and had to visit my headache specialist. My specialist thinks it might be time to change career because of what I am experiencing. So, I might.

On the other hand, all my friends call or email me wishing me Happy Birthday. Carl text me and bought me a beautiful card. He also got me a wonderful little purse to hold my spare money when I go running instead of taking my huge wallet. My doctor thinks it is great that I am working our again. My cousin, Jo text me and my dad even call, who sometimes forget.

It is half good and half bad. Maybe that will be my year. Thank you everyone who remembers!!

Valley Green Inn!

We met with the wedding coordinator at Valley Green Inn yesterday and it is more beautiful than I remember which was a week ago. The patio area for the wedding is so pretty and rustic and we love it. She will give us a discount because Carl and I decided to have the wedding on Friday. It is less crowded on Friday at 7 pm. We won't be having a clambake but a good old fashion American BarBQ.

Soy Cafe in Northern Liberties

I have been visiting the Soy Cafe for the past few days and I think I am hooked. Chinese people has been drinking soy milk for ages and when you mix a bit of Chai tea with soy milk...a perfect combination. so good!! I went there to get a smoothie because I have not really eaten due to my teeth and their sunshine smoothie is the best. But I decided to eat a little later that day and went back and got a soy chicken wrap. Oh! it was delicious. It has some wasabi sauce, garlic hummus, spring greens, carrots, avocado, and cucumber. I took enough Advil as I crunch on.

Meet the new king of Malaysia

Being born a Malaysian, I am very proud of this little country eventhough I had to give up my citizenship in 2003. Under Malaysia's rotational monarchy, the heads of each of the nine hereditary states occupy the throne for five years.

The king's role is largely ceremonial, with power in the hands of parliament and the prime minister.

Malaysia is the only country in the world to have a rotating monarchy.

I feel that this tradition is very fair.
