Professional Bimbo

I am sure I am not the only guilty one. You have close friends in school and along the way, you grew apart. Most went to start a family of their own. And as you live, your old friends will become reunion friends. And the amount of time you spend in the office makes you closer to your colleagues. So I got to know an acquaintance lately, an almost stranger. We were going somewhere together and during the journey, I remember me telling him this. So I have this friend, we grew up in a town and we came to this city and we have grown roots here and for the longest time, we are in the same city but we do not talk or see each other. But you and me, who are almost strangers, we talk almost every other day and we go out to do things. How did this happen?

And that is the bumper sticker at the side of my back car window now. I joined this little group of street feeders recently for all the wrong reasons. What they do, they go out to the streets and feed the homeless. What I like is that one of their main objectives, they are trying to get people off the streets, especially the youths who are still strong and able to work. They engage and try to talk people out of the streets. Well, I must say the success rate as expected to be low but you know what they say, if you can save one, you have saved one. While I was doing this, I was really amazed with the good people I see and meet who really want to do good. Most of them have a day job, they come out at night in the middle of the work week and do this. And it doesn't hurt along the way, you get to collect more stories to tell. http://www.streetfeeders.com/ In the spirit of being hopeful.

This morning I woke up and feeling restless. Not being able to binge on junk food is really stressing me out. So I decided to go out to the nursery and got these! Carpet and orchids to decorate the front door. I wanted to feel homey when I reached the door after long dog days. I am quite happy how it had turned out and I am sure it will get crowded soon. And I am telling you, home deco is really an expensive past time. But I am loving it.

On this quiet Sunday, I got up and switched on the TV. Kitchen Nightmares was showing and boy do I love Gordon Ramsay. He is like everything I want in a man. Wrinkly. Rough and tough. Yet sweet and loving. Intelligent. Caring. And being successful, of course, does not hurt. I cooked brunch. Kueh teow soup, nothing fancy. But the garlic chilli lime sauce made the difference. And when I was done, I colored my hair. This time like most times, I am still on violet and burgundy. Since I am on it, might as well I do my face with my loyal blue corn. I just love this blue corn mask from Body Shop. It removes your black heads and all the dirt you can find in your pores. Smells great too! When the hair went violety burgundy and the face is dirt free, I did my manicure. Chilli red. Not bitchy like the dark maroon I had yesterday. Chilli red always bring up a little of flirtiness. And of course, I watched a few episodes of The Americans - I am reaching the season finale soon and i...

So today is Raya Day 2. It was a lunch date gone wrong with the girls. So I ended up browsing around the mall and unlike the ol' days I now have purchasing power. So I came across this young boy started up his soap line. Since we are also attempting to start our own line, in support of local entrepreneurs, I got these lovelies for myself. I even took the trouble to take this pic prettily to post in Instagram. And it does not hurt that the products smelled orgasmic =}

So this is my latest obsession. The Americans. Not that I approve all the innocent killings for the greater good but like most girly fans, it is the loooooveeee.... How two strangers came together. Gone through the thickest and thinnest. And grow to love each other so much over a period of time. Like a hopeless romantic. And because they love each other so much, sometimes the most little wrong things will hurt so much too. Aaahhh.... what life is meant to be.

Is this not such a beautiful picture?  Look at that smile. Yes, my Sheldon is so comel 

Bimbo now is on an amazer mode because now you could blog from your phone with an app. Oh! The wonder of technology!

When I was a younger adult I always dreamed that I would have a condominium of my own. The design would be mainly contemporary modern, dimly lit. At night, I would be working from my station. It is leveled up from the living area. Behind my work station is this floor to ceiling window and you could see the city view. On the working desk there will be a phone and a fax machine, which now is totally so irrelevant hahahahahahaha.... And of course I would have my files, stationery and a laptop. And at the corner of the desk, there will be a goldfish in a fishbowl accompanying me. That was my dream when I was doing my homework from the corner of the living area on a plastic table, next to a 2-panel window looking across the highway. Now? Now, I am working from my IKEA study desk, which is part of the living area. In front of me is the balcony, which is separated by a sliding door. My mobile phone and my iPad is next to me, while I am multi-tasking playing Tap Titans on one and Farm Her...

So Netflix released the 3rd Season of House of Cards and this is the show that sparked my interests in politics. And suddenly shows like Scandal and The Good Wife made sense to me too. And like how media would influence the common people, the show also increased my skepticism so much that even my Caliper results looked skewed. I am not too sure if it made me street smarter but for sure it had made me more cunning. Like a fox. And politics slowly is making sense to me... And like a lot of the fans of the show, I, too, love this power crazed couple. Their appetite for power is just atrocious. And in Chapter 33 today, atrocious as they are, this was really sweet: "Nothing is forever. Except us." And they spooned... Yeah.... Atrocious but sweet.

So there is this craving of mine for sushi... and you know, sushi can't be kept overnight so supermarkets usually just let them go at a discounted rate to make the last minute buck.  And so there I am working at Mid Valley, where there is Jusco and Cold Storage... but no! No cheap nice sushi for me! Till I walked on a different direction today and I discovered this place... Buy 1 Free 1! Happiness is.  I can even forgive the crappy service I received. =)

Did I tell you? After more than a decade, bimbo finally moved out from Puchong. To a place more ulu and more kampung. But I remained to be on top of the hill. Aaaahhh... I do miss Puchong sometimes. The hustle, bustle, the 7 laned road, my winter melon steamboat, the convenience of the variety of banks and of course the lonely nights view.

In early 2010, or was it somewhere in 2009, I told myself  I want to have a kid in 2013 and buy a home in 2015. I had my kid in 2011 and bought this place in 2013.  =)

I don't quite remember which year was this. I woke up to see a misscall on my phone by Mellissa. It was a weekend so it was in the afternoon. So I returned Mellissa's call: Mellissa: Now only you returned my call... if got emergency really can die... Bimbo: What happened? Mellissa: Something is wrong with my leg, I couldn't walk... Bimbo: Oh my gawd... are you okay? Mellissa: Of course no... I need to go to the hospital... Bimbo: Right away! So I called Jolene panicky and told her we need to go save Mellissa. So I picked Jolene up and we flew to Mellissa's place with my black dark horse. Bimbo & Jolene: Mellissa... we are here already to bring you to the hospital, come on... let's go... Mellissa: Can wait ah... I want to finish this CSI episode first... Bimbo & Jolene: -.-'

So this is the story of the three bimbos. Bimbo #1 Sloppy and do not care much about physical appearance. Practical. Funny. Engineer. Bimbo #2 When you see her, it's all about brand and grand. The branded bag must match with the shoes. Glamorous. Head of Buyers. Bimbo #3 Despite her flawless skin, she stills put on light makeup even for casual, because looking good is important for her. Hip and young. Energetic. Marketing Head. All 3 Bimbos also owns different brands of phone. Would not be hard to guess who is using: Blackberry iPhone5 Samsung Note

This is what I realised how it all made sense. It's like the Universe is coming together to get me prepared for this day: I normally do not go home that early. If I had went back the usual hours I do, I would not be able to even get Ah Choon because he would had gone home My bold blackberry actually has a touch screen but because I broke the phone, it has to be sent for repair. So I used back the old curve blackberry (without the touch screen) and this old curve blackberry of mine, when I first bought it, I always complained it heats up so easily due to the numbers of emails coming in. And because it heats up easily, good ol' curve blackberry eventually managed to heat itself up to dry and the touchpad was functioning back again like new And because the first 2 young mechanics abandoned me, it horrified the workshop owners so much, I became their story of the day. Though the bill did not seem any more sympathetic, I do believe, they became my first group of friends I got t...

It was a long day at work, so I decided to go home early. It's really unusual I leave work that early. When I was 5 minutes away from home, my car decided to stop. Trying not to panic, I got down from the car and in the midst of juggling with not getting hit by other passing cars, my wannabe Mulberry bag and my mobile phone, my blackberry decided to flew and landed itself in the drain. What else could go wrong?! I took a deep breath. And walked to a workshop which is just 2 houses away first, to get help. And there were these 2 young mechanics there who told me that they could not help me because 1. they are closed 2. it's too dark and they have eyesight problem. They were just probably in their twenties. Further down the road (which is probably 1km away) has workshops, you could go there, they told me. How? They just shook their heads. Really?! This confirmed that this place memang land of no manners. So I took another deep breath. And decided to go save my...

So many things to do. So little discipline and determination to do.

I don't quite remember how old I was. I think I was 12, going to have my UPSR exams. My dad bought me this alarm clock. Which woke me up for many many mornings for the next 10 years. It flew with me to a different town (now a city) and woke me up for my A-Levels exams. Different states and woke me up for my Diploma and Degree exams. It stopped ticking when someone who was once dear to me dropped it. And broke it. And eventually broke my heart too.

This is Little Bunny whom I've stolen from my younger brother. Little Bunny had put me to sleep many nights when I was far away from home and missed everybody terribly. The sound of Little Bunny's was so soothing that it almost every time bring me to tears. I'm going to miss you, Little Bunny.
