Its Friday Already!?!?

Can you believe it's Friday all over again?? The days are just passing by so damned fast! Felt like it was just last week we ushered in the new year and what do you know, before I could even catch my breath it's already the middle of May! Whoah!!

So what are your plans for today? Anything special planned for the weekend? A night out celebrating the end of the work week maybe? Or maybe a nice weekend getaway?

As for me, well as usual, I have absolutely nothing planned! Ahahahahahah. I don't have much of a life these days and no, I'm not going to go into details about why I don't have much of  life. We'll save that story for another day.

I actually like Fridays. Most Fridays my good friend Anita would come by my house and have lunch with me. Sometimes when I feel up to it we would go out to eat but mostly we just eat at my place. It's nice to have company once in a while.

I rather enjoy my Friday lunch dates. It gives me something to look forward to (spoken like a true no life-er). I find figuring out what to cook and trying to get all my cooking done before Anita arrives rather exciting (yes, I know I sound pathetic but just try and humor me alright).

Cooking and entertaining have always been a passion of mine. I remember the dinner parties I used to host when I was living on my own back in my student days in good ol' KL. Most Sunday nights I would gather some of my closest friends and treat them to a hearty home cooked meal (Sarawakian style of course).

Ahh.. those were the days, the joys of being young and care free. Well, enough reminiscing. I need to go dig around in the fridge and figure out what to cook for lunch. It is now 7.20am I have just over four hours to investigate my ingredients and come up with a menu so sayonara!

Have a great Friday folks!

Bookworm!

Good morning (or noon or evening or whatever)! It's 8.08am and I have been up all night downloading kindle e-books from amazon.com. Yes ladies and gentleman.. my latest obsession is downloading e-books.. FREE e-books to be more precise. Yes, I'm cheap but seriously, why waste money unnecessarily when I can just get it for free (LEGALLY) online? I don't know why I never thought to look online before.

I guess it all started when my favorite 2nd hand book store closed down (or moved away, I never did find out what hhappened to it). I became desperate for something to read so I started browsing online for some cheap alternatives. Not being able to find anything locally, I decided to just log on to one of my favorite online shopping site, yes you guessed it, amazon.com.

Just so you know, I have been lusting after a kindle e-book reader for a few years now. Every time I log onto amazon, I never miss the chance to ogle at a kindle and every time i would be praying and hoping that by some miracle the price would be super cheap. No such luck (so far)!

Well, as usual I was ogling at all the different selections of kindles and checking out e-books when I realize there is a kindle app that we can download so we can read kindle e-books on non kindle devices like our computer, ipad, iphone, and also any android device. I was ecstatic! It was safe to say I wasted no time downloading the app on my computer (I can't even afford a kindle so I obviously do not own any android device, iphones or ipads).

The moment I finished downloading the app I got down right to it and begin my quest of downloading as many e-books from amazon as I possibly could. You would be surprised at how many titles are offered FREE on amazon. Yes you read me right, FREE! I was in bookworm heaven.

I have downloaded 80 free e-books so far. I'm greedy so I will be scouring for more. Life is good but what would make it even better? A KINDLE! I hope to be able to finally afford one really soon, in the mean time, if there is any generous soul out there who wants to buy me a Kindle Touch 3G (my kindle of choice), all I can say is, I will love you loooong time!! :P

Lameness Overload!

Yes, you heard me right.. this is indeed lameness overload. Why? Well this blog is starting to sound like a joke! Every time I get excited about being back in blogging action, the excitement fizzles off the moment I click post! Grrrrr! Is it possible for a human being to be as lazy and as unmotivated as I am? I really would like to know... then at least I wouldn't feel so bad about myself. Ahahahaha..

Well, if it is any consolation, a lot of life changing things have been happening in my life since my last entry, but being the lazy ass and kill joy that I am, I'm not going to talk about it right now. Stay tuned for my next update (cross your fingers and hope it would happen soon! hahaha) and I might be motivated enough to share the details. As for now, I'm off to bed (I think)!

p/s: I know! I know! I'm hopeless. But I know you still love me! *wink*
