i've written a whole long post about how 'happening' it was last weekend (i managed to go for a comedy, dinner, yamcha and meet my bestie. how unusual of me) and then i realised that my memory card reader failed. arghhhh! i've had it for only what.. 3 months? and rarely use it somemore.. aih. so no photos until dunno when. okay lah.. actually my laptop can read one.. but lazy to turn it on cos it's troublesome. i still prefer desktop. of course unless it's a Macbook Pro la! bleh!
recently, mu gums are bleeding. only at one particular spot in between my teeth. i'm not sure what causes it. sometimes it just bleed out of nothing. so i was quite worried and googled the reason of gum bleeding.
Bleeding gums are mainly due to inadequate plaque removal from the teeth at the gum line. This will lead to a condition called gingivitis, or inflamed gums.
If plaque is not removed through regular brushing and dental appointments, it will harden into what is known as tartar. Ultimately, this will lead to increased bleeding and a more advanced form of gum and jawbone disease known as periodontitis.
Other causes of bleeding gums include:
- Any bleeding disorder
- Brushing too hard
- Hormonal changes during pregnancy
- Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
- Ill-fitting dentures
- Improper flossing
- Infection, which can be either tooth- or gum-related
- Leukemia
- Scurvy
- Use of blood thinners
- Vitamin K deficiency

In every relationship, surely there is some special something between 2 people that we can categorise it as “Our *noun*”. For example, Our Song, Our Place, Our Movie, etc., you get the drift. I can safely say that most people who are in a relationship have that “special something”. Or at least it occurs in my case(s).
I was trying hard to remember what was my first “Our Song”.. to my surprise, my first “Our Song” does not belong to any of my ex boyfriends… it belongs to me and my best friend. The song was “Ai, Hen Jian Dan” by David Tao. I don’t know how it became “Our Song” and why it was that song. It’s just… Our Song. Now, every time I listen to that song, it’ll remind me of those bittersweet memories that we went through (sorry to disappoint anyone, but we’re really just best friends if you’re wondering now, so no juicy stories okay).
With one of my ex, we have “Our Path”. Which is the road that we used to automatically walked every time, when we wandered aimlessly. It’s from KL Plaza towards Low Yat Plaza via BB Plaza sidewalk. We used to end up walking towards that direction unknowingly and walk back to the starting point. Thinking about it now makes me feel like an idiot… no direction, just walk and make a U-turn. Damn waste time. Wtf.
With another ex of mine, we have “Our Language”. We used to turn the first letter of a word to “W” in our conversation for example, “I miss you” became “I wiss you” and “I love you” became “I wurve you”, and we would make up some gibberish words that only we would understand and ended up competing who “invented” the most complicated word and we had fun guessing the meaning of those words we created for each other. (sigh… bitter-ing)
When most people will have some normal type of “Our *something*”, me and my Smelly have most of “Our *something*” quite differently. For example, Our Song. When most people have romantic Pop, R&B, Soul or Classical songs, Our Song is a Trance song. A bit wtf right? Lol. Damn un-romantic. But the title is ok la… It’s “Angel Falls” by Ayla. I forgot when or how we declare it Our Song, but I had fun teasing him when I know he used it as his ringtone for my number when we first dated..
“Why you use this ringtone for my number geh?”
“Dunno.. I like la..”
“Oh.. I know… Angel Falls.. like, I Fall, like that la??”
Geddit? Geddit?? Ok. Might be lame. But it works every time, to make him feel jah dou. So every time we heard that song, I will say, “Bie!! I Fall!! *slump on him*” wtf!
Our Song is weird enough.. and to add more weirdness (weird to me lah), we have “Our Phrase”. Which is “stupid dum dum”. We’ll call each other “stupid dum dum” whenever there’s a chance. No miss one! I ask you la.. where got people call their girlfriend/boyfriend stupid (and still get away with it) one?? Ish..
There’s still a list of “Our *something*” but I shall not disclose too much here. Wtf.. later you all say we stupid dum dum.
Bleh!
What’s your “Our *insert special something*”??
All-time favourite! Never get bored with this type of tunes.. so happy..
Everytime you need me
You know I'll be there
You know I really care
Say you will
Say you dare
And when a feeling comes around
Let it sparkle and let it shine
Let it lift you off the ground
Make it last, baby make it mine
You are the sun that rises
You are the moon that lights the night
You are what paralyses me
Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
You know I really care
Say you will
Say you dare
Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
A love beyond compare
Say you will
Say you care
Write my name into the sky
And keep the memories in your heart
Let the hours pass us by
I guess that this is a way to start
You are full of surprises
You are a fire burning bright
You are what mesmerises me
Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
You know I really care
Say you will
Say you dare
Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
A love beyond compare
Say you will
Say you care
Say you dare...
Say you dare....
Say you dare.....
No no, no no
Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
You know I really care
Say you will
Say you dare
Everytime you need me
You know I will be there
A love beyond compare
Say you will
Say you care
i just read this news and i thought... "if i ever have to choose, i won't choose to be a Malaysian cos have to wait until i die only can get citizenship!"
It’s raining outside. It reminds me of 5 years ago, how I used to love watching the rain, like tiny little crystals drop from the sky. I used to sit at the “patio” at KL Plaza’s Starbucks, the first job that I loved, and watch those crystals crush on the pavement of the sidewalk. The sidewalk is always busy with people. People who worked nearby. Tourists who lived next door. Girls who loves shopping. Beggars who begs for living. Child labour who sells gums and tissues. I could sit there whole day smelling the rain and watch people pass by. I loved listening to the sound of water splashing when they stepped unwillingly on the bumpy street, filled with puddles of water, running away from the rain to get some shelter. It reminds me of how I loved walking in the rain, looking up the sky and feel the raindrop on my face. It reminds me of how emotional and how predictable my mind was back then.
It reminds me of how easy it was to find happiness in the simplest things. How easy it was to compose a conversation without the fear of being judged. How everyone was a friend. How easy it was to fall in and out of love. How simple everything seems. It doesn’t feel the same anymore now. Perhaps maturity has restricted those emotions. Perhaps it was just an imagination that I chose to believe in. Perhaps it wasn’t simple at the first place. Or maybe it was the greed that is changing it all and making it all difficult.
Perhaps it was the rain that brought back those lost emotions.
These few weeks have been uneventful. Except for attending a secondary school friend’s wedding, where I met a lot of secondary school friends that lost contact after SPM. Not forgetting a few teachers who taught us in Form 4 and 5 (Cik Rahimah, now Puan Rahimah, who taught us Accounting, and Puan Rosham who taught us Bahasa). Lol. It’s weird seeing them when I’m not in school uniform. Surprisingly, Puan Rahimah remembered me. I guess of course not because I’m a top student.. because it’s either I always sleep or skip her classes. Hahah! It’s good to see familiar faces again. As always, the best and sweetest memories are during secondary school days. Remembering how young we all once were. How naïve our thinking was. How mischievous and ill-behaved I was towards the teachers. Ahh.. bittersweet memories.
There’ll be two weddings on the 1st of November. An uncle from a different grandmother, another one is my close friend in college. I’m wondering which one I should attend. Hmm.. Most probably my friend’s wedding cos he invited since last year and I assured him 2 weeks ago when we’re out for dinner that I’ll definitely attend it.
Another wedding in December 6th. My beloved ex-boss. This one, die die also must go. He helped me a lot, in a way, even after I’m not working with him anymore. He’s like a friend rather than boss.
Yet another wedding in January 23rd. another close friends’ wedding.
Ahh…
So many weddings to attend. It’s the “in” thing right now. I wonder when it will get out of fashion. Gah!
Yesterday morning, I have a feeling that I HAVE to see my bestie (haven’t seen him in a while), so I texted him, “Let’s hang out. Free after working hours today?” I rarely text him cos usually, I prefer calling (texting is mah fan, don’t you think?) but ever since 3 years ago, our phone calls from once a day became once in every 3 months. Wtf. Okay, let’s not go to that topic. Ugh.
He replied almost instantly, which kinda surprised me cos he NEVER reply instantly (sometimes never reply at all.. wtf… and NEVER answer my calls unless he feels that it’s urgent… fml… and usually his instinct are right. A habit that I loathe!) so anyway, he replied, “Meh si oh? Why suddenly sound so serious? What happen?”
-_- do I look like a problematic child? Wtf.
After gazillion of smses, we agreed to have dinner. Turns out that he’s the emo one this time. Hahah.. our instincts for each other are still quite accurate huh. After venting out throughout dinner, he finally felt better. We spent 4 hours catching up and talking mostly about how time flies, especially the things we’ve been through together, silly things that teenagers do… come to think about it, we were both so protective towards each other.. Well, unknowingly. We talked about possibilities. Possibilities of a lot of things that almost happen but never did. Possibilities of our future (individually, okay). Those “what-if” questions that we asked.. Those “maybe” answers that we replied. How things changed throughout these 8 years we've known each other.
“Where’s my birthday present that you promised?”
“at home….”
“tiu.. cheat one…”
“Really one!! Uhm… ok lah.. What you want? Faster say!! I give.. Anything also can!”
“I only want things to be like what it used to be”
Silence.
I knew it was impossible.
But I want him to know that he’s still very important to me.
“Remember how I’ve always wondered how life would be without you? I’m still wondering now..”
“Well.. You can safely say that your life is already without me now. No difference, right? Just that now, once in a while, we complement each other during emotional breakdowns. At least we both know where to find each other.”
Well… at least there are still a minute of space in our hearts for each other to retreat to.
Went to PJ Live Art Centre to watch M.A.C.C 1st EGM with Shorty and Ah Kor. It’s actually our first time watching live stand-up comedy. It’s fantastic! Douglas Lim was awesomely hilarious! Not forgetting Phoon Chi Ho and Kuah Jenhan. I personally like Chi Ho the best.. cos the moment he went on the stage, haven’t say a word already got people laughing! LOL.. Overall, it’s a good show and good experience for me. I don’t mind watching it again. You guys should go with me again!!!!!!!!! Let's!
Nyeh..
Monday blues again….
Ugh.. Shopping is definitely killing my wallet! Please rain some money tonight! Bai!
It’s October again, which marks the 4th year since the first time we met. For the past two years, around this time, I wrote some thoughts. And I shouldn’t make it an exception this year and the years after. It feels like just yesterday I wrote this and this. How time flies.
January 2010 will be our Fourthniversary. Just like the previous years, I didn’t feel any major changes (yet). They said the 3rd, 5th and 7th year is a very crucial year in a relationship. And most people tend to break up in the 3rd, 5th or 7th year. However, I don’t really believe it cos it hasn’t happen to me (yet). (I guess the reason why most people breaks up within that duration is because:- 3 years is enough to learn what type of person your partner is, try to sort thing out for another 2 years after knowing them inside-out, then to be patient for another 2 years after trying hard to hold on and if it doesn’t work, means it will never work. So why waste another 4 years of playing the patient one when you’re not? and holding on to something that you know is hard to keep? Why waste that precious 4 years when you can use those 4 years to know someone better? Ok, I digress.)
Honestly, these 3 years of being with him are definitely a breeze, compared to most relationships that I’ve heard of (from friends, family and previous experience). No doubt, there are times that we annoy each other, got angry for petty things, sick of each others’ bad habits, bore each other to death, etc. but that’s what makes us stronger, right? All these while, I have to give some credit to him for keeping this relationship so well, he’s been patient enough to layan my childishness. He stayed around to keep me sane. Humorous enough to keep up with my silliness and his hands are always there to wipe away my tears.
Last year, I remember I wasn’t sure how can our relationship be so simple? So many questions. So many doubts. So many worries. So paranoid. But it’s all good now. Cos I believe it’s just a phase.
Ahh.. how I wish I can plan for an anniversary getaway! Hmm…
If you don’t have money, then DON’T USE them. At the end of the day, don’t come back to us and demand us to give money to you (note: GIVE cos we all know that you’re not gonna pay us back after all that promises cos the same thing will happen every fucking month and the cycle continues).
If we can learn from the hard way, I’m sure you can too. And I’m still not fucking sure why she still want to help you out and giving all sorts of excuses to blind herself, and trying to blind us too, just to make everyone feels that it’s okay to help you out. Ughh! You’re working now and I am too. The only person that I ask money from is my boss, just because he is obligated to pay my salary and everyone else’s.
Of course, to say that I don’t ask others for cash is a total lie, cos I do admit I’m human too, I ask money from Smelly when I’m extremely out of cash BUT I do pay him back when I have money. Whereas you? You didn’t even say thank you when we gave you money! And the attitude after you get the money is totally NOT acceptable by normal social standard! Plus, WE DO NOT WORK OUR ASSES OFF TO GIVE YOU MONEY! And you in return, gave the money to illegal gambling arcade AND your girlfriend’s shoes! Wtf! And now you’re saying as if I am obligated to give you money as present for your birthday. Niamah!
I repeat… I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE CASH TO YOU ANYMORE. If you’re really hungry, I’ll buy you food. That’s because I’m still human.
Grr.
i got my tailored Kebaya 2 nights ago and happily modeling it in the room..
Whoa.. got people honour me leh.. haha.. So the next mini project that I’m up to is to be a guest contributor to actuallyleemun.blogspot.com to jointly write review about Olympus FE-320 compact camera.
How it works?
Uncle Mun will test-try the camera and he will dictate, I will write. Just like his PA taking minutes. lol.. Then we will edit together (chewah.. like we’re gonna publish magazine hor..) . it’s gonna be fun.
The reason why we’re reviewing compact cameras is because we thought that there are very few reviews on the compact due to the attention are given more to DLSR nowadays. Not everyone owns a DLSR and not everyone who owns a compact camera knows about the specialty and ability of what their compact camera can/cannot do. So we’re here to give a full test on the functionality and quality of different brands and price range of compact cameras in our market. (heck, even I would definitely need this information.. and especially for those who are still hunting for a new camera. *winkz*)
We aim to be unbiased. Since it will be a personal review, we might tend to write according to personal preferences but however, do not worry, we will definitely write as honest as we can. And you can be the judge yourself.
after coming back from Melaka, Uncle Mun saw some of the photos that i took from my lousy trusty old compact cam and surprisingly, some photos turned out quite good (for a compact camera). so he decided to abandon his Nikon D700 last weekend to get his hands on my Nikon S51. after much molesting, pressing, stroking, and clicking on the S51, Uncle Mun wrote a short review.

Stay tuned for more reviews on other brands of compact camera by leemun.
Some facts about leemun:
- His name is Lee Mun but I call him Uncle Mun most of the time in my blog. in reality, i call him Ah Mun though i really think that it's rude to call him by his name (generation gap. lol) but because we're close friends, so why not.
- He's a camera enthusiast (at least in my eyes and other members of our clique). He's the camera pro in our group.. he used to own a photography studio some few years back and been shooting profiles photos for some of the famous models before they were even famous (wanna know more, feel free to drop him a comment or two over his blog).
- lately he's been giving "lectures" for free to members of our clique, during our makan session on how to utilise camera functions (usually DSLR). he also welcomes anyone to have a photo outing on weekends.
- he's also a freelance/part-time lifestlye photographer now that he's made a comeback after being hiatus for quite a while from photography. Hope on to his facebook profile for some of his masterpiece.
- he just started blogging after some peer presure (he doesn't want to be called outdated. lol!), his blog posts mainly revolves around friends, outings, and of course, photography and some tips if he feels like it.
p/s- no, i'm not paid for this. just thought of sharing some of the facts about my very talented friend.. =)
