Me: Can you help me check if the heels are available in other outlets?
Sales assistant: Okay... I will check with the computer first.
Me: Thanks!
Sales assistant: Which outlet you want to reserve your heels?
Me: Errr... Mid Valley?
Sales assistant: Okay... I call Mid Valley outlet to check if it has the heels.
Me: Sure
Sales assistant: Please wait a while for the Mid Valley outlet to call back to confirm.
Me: Okay...
(after five minutes, the phone rang...)
Sales assistant: Mid Valley outlet has the heels. Do you want it?
Me: Yup!
Sales assistant: Okay... I call again to reserve the heels.
OMG!!! To reserve a pair of heels, three calls need to be made!
This whole process repeated again for:
a)my pair of heels in Mid Valley outlet
b)my housemate's pair of heels in Mid Valley outlet
c)my housemate's pair of heels in KLCC outlet
d)my housemate's pair of heels in Jusco, Maluri outlet
e)my housemate's pair of heels in MY SIZE in Mid Valley outlet
I think we spent half an hour just to reserve the heels!
Blame the Sungei Wang outlet for having so little stock. Blame the computer for showing incorrect information about the number of stock available in other outlet. Blame the bad system that the shoe shop was having. They should have the interlink whatever internet whatever system that I don't know off that can just check or reserve heels by clicking a few buttons on the computer.
So is purely not our fault that we caused so much mafan for the sales assistant to call here and there and everywhere. =D But I totally agree that the sales assistant deserved a pat on his back for being so patient and dedicated to his job.
Guess what... after all the trouble...
I did not buy the heels!

The Historical Land
Our very first romantic getaway started off with Mc Donalds drive thru morning brekkie. I love to start my vacations, holidays or trips with McDs sausage Mcmuffin. No idea why. Just love it.
Before we even reached Malacca I demanded to visit the A Famosa. And out of all the reaction I was expecting from Bean, I never expected such reaction. He gave me the HUH?-are-you-serious-you-want-to-visit-that-place-? look with the eyes popping out! Geez... aren't people suppose to do tourist-y thingy when they are on a trip? I was a tourist! It fit perfect sense that I wanted to visit a tourist spot! Right??? Anyhow I kept firm with my decision of visiting that place! I want to take pictures!!!!
Me: (we were passing the church) Aren't A Famosa next to that red colour church?
Bean: I remember is somewhere here!
We drove past the red colour church (Stadthuys or something...). We turned a million right turns and left turns. We passed Jonker Street two times. And... we were lost. In MALACCA. The traffic was horrible. The road signs were horrible for sure.
After one and a half hour, we were back on the EXACT SAME FREAKING ROAD one and a half hour ago! *smacks head* The freaking huge piece of stone (A Famosa) was indeed next to that red colour church that we passed by one and a half hour ago!! *double smacks head*
Finally...
What is the next tourist-y thingy we did after that? NONE!
The remaining trip was practically nothing else other than eating.
Satay Babi (Pork Skewer)
Oh oh! This shop sells intestine skewers too! Yummy! I love everything about pork including the internal organs. Pork lover... that's me! =D
Cendol
Satay Celup (Satay Sauce 'Hot Pot')
Me: Ooooo... I love satay celup!
Bean: NOPE! You love SIHAM (clam) satay celup!
Me: *smack* *smack* *smack* Hehe... actually is quite true!
Bean: Then why you whack me for?
Me: =P
What Bean said is true. I love satay celup because of the clams not I love clams because of satay celup. I ate ten sticks of clam skewers all by myself. Overdosing myself with iodine!
Wan Tan Mee
Not the ordinary Wan Tan Mee because this one has chilli in it.
First romantic getaway seems more like a gastronomical trip. But I enjoyed every moment of it. Can't wait for our second romantic getaway!
P/S: Thanks Bean's friend for taking us around!

Who Is He To Me?
My daddy has a sister who has a son and her son who got married has a son. My daddy's sister's son is my cousin. What about my daddy's sister's son's son? How is my daddy's sister's son's son related to me?
Complicated? Let me bring a diagram in to get a clearer picture.
B4 = my daddy
B3 = my daddy's sister
C4 = my daddy's daughter who is ME
C3 = my daddy's sister's son who is MY COUSIN
D3 = my daddy's sister's son's son who is MY COUSIN'S SON
The question is... How are C4 and D3 related?
Me: My nephew achieved straight A's in PMR.
Bean: Your nephew?
Me: Yah... my daddy's sister's son's son
Bean: NOOOO! Your nephew is the son to your brother. He is your second cousin!
Me: NOOOO! He is my nephew! He is definitely not my second cousin!
Both of us were so bothered by it we went to a bookstore to search for a dictionary to check it out when we were suppose to go shopping. Dictionary and shopping. I forgo shopping. OMG! What was wrong with me? Wahaha...
Anyway... Bean was partially right.
nephew noun
a son of one's brother and sister
Okay... He won in that case. However, I was partially right too! He is not my second cousin!
Second cousin is the second generation below the level of sibling. With reference to the diagram above, D1 and D3 are second cousins. For example, my cousin's children and my children are second cousins.
My cousin and I are first cousins (C1-C4). We are 'first' because we are one generation below the level of sibling (B1-B6). Our children (D1-D3) are 'second' because they are two generation below the level of sibling (B1-B6)
So how are my cousin's son and I related? How are C4 and D3 related?
We are called...
"first cousins ONCE REMOVED"
I am serious! No joke.
The ' once removed' term means that one of the two relatives is one generation removed from being a first cousin with each other. My cousin's son and I (C4 and D3) are ONE generation difference. Hence, ONCE removed.
I find this term weird though. The term 'once removed' sounds as though I have been eliminated from the family and somehow found a way to slide in back to the family by marrying don't know who or something.
If everybody knew this... what would my cousin's son be calling me? AUNT first cousin once removed???
Errr... Its okay... Just call me 'che che' =D

An Unpleasant Date
Mum: I made the appointment for you.
Me: Emm.
Mum: You are going at 3.30pm.
Me: Okay...
Mum: The dentist's schedule is full for other days.
I hate dentist.
I hate to open my mouth so freaking wide.
I hate to wear that freaking napkin around my neck.
I hate that sucking my saliva tube thingy in my mouth.
I hate that drilling sound.... 'EeeeEeeeeEeeeeeeEEeEEEeeeEe'.
Just by walking through the door seeing that freaking dentist chair (I have no idea what is it called!) freaks me out. When I lie down that chair my muscles were so tense as though I had muscle spasm or something! GAhhhhh!
Dentist: Hmmm... You have a cavity here, here, here and here!
Me: (OMG!!! Where got so many?!!!!)
Dentist: I am going to use the local anaesthetic.
The dentist walked away for a moment and I took out my phone straight away to message Bean.
"OMG! OMG! She is going to jab me!"
I seriously did not like the idea of getting jabbed! Anyhow... she was quite nice 'trying' to distract my attention while jabbing me.
Dentist: I am using Lignocaine with the amide linkage instead of the ester linkage. There is also a little adrenaline to cause vasoconstriction to minimize bleeding. The size of the needle is 30 gauge.
Was I attending a lecture or what? =P
Half of my face is numb. My face is still numb right up to this point. Honestly. If someone is trying to wake me up by swinging the arm right across my left cheek, I WILL NOT wake up.
The whole drilling, poking, sucking, more drilling poking and sucking took half an hour. When I thought everything is done...
Dentist: You will have to come back another day to fill up the other two teeth on your right side.
Me: *faint*
I called Bean after leaving the place,
Me: Ello...
Bean: Apa macam?
Me: My face is numb... yadda yadda yadda yadda....
Me: Ok lar... I don't want to talk already. I sound like a RETARD!
Bean: WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! (Hehe... this is a bit exaggerated... but he did laugh. Ok. Fine! Giggled!)
This date cost me a whooping RM375!
*pling plang* Heart very the pain now.
