better late than never aye??

more than a year ago – when my tummy was ballooning like nobody’s business and i could always use the baby as an excuse for gorging meself – i had a craving for reese’s peanut butter cups – no thanx to KY for posting and providing images on it.

since then, i would always make a point of making a stop @ the chocolatier on suria klcc’s concourse floor just to check whether their stock is in – BUT IT NEVER MATERIALISED!!

i think i was conned by the salesgirls – them must be thinkin – this preggy lady – if i tell her to check again in future – eventhough reese’s not available, due to choc craving that preggy ladies are normally subjected to – she might succumb to buying other chocolate!! well… them thinks wrong – never bought a single thing altho every other week i’d be browsing their wares.

fast forward 14 months later. was doing my grocery shopping @ carrefour w. maju with kakak in tow and happily plunking packs of mr. potato into me trolley when i suddenly spotted le orange packaging that looks oh-so-familiar. imagine my delight when it turned out to be reese’s peanut butter cups. my preciousssssssssss… and the good thing is – there’s tonnes of ‘em!

managed to control myself and only bought two.. (since am no longer preggers and have excuse to gorge meself right?)..

suffice to say – i am currently on peanut butter choc high.

~*happy*~

note:

do i have to also say that i purchased only for meself – it’s all minnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! mine, i say!!

i’ve only had two cars so far in my life (well, there’s the mini that papa loaned me back in 2001 but that doesn’t count)

both are from our national car maker

the first was a second-hand (actually 3rd or 4th hand, if i wanna be precise) wira – it served us well for the first 3 years we had it.

it did have one major issue which bugged me – the power window always act up at the least convenient times. the one burned into my memory was heading early to menara tan&tan for meeting with sap and being stuck in the parking floor for > 30 mins – just becoz the darned window won’t wind up after i stuck my hand out to get the parking ticket.

i was also in my final trimester of my pregnancy at that point – good thing kakak did not decide to pop out due to her mom’s stressing out.

so when we decided to switch cars – it was a blessing to get a brand new one. still with the national car maker – a waja. i’ve had reservations previously due to all the horror stories of doors falling off when the model was first launched. but we were also happy with the purchase.

until toosday noon. when i was with soohsia heading for a discussion outside of klcc. was leaving the season parking area when the driver’s window decided to get stuck 1/4 way winding up and making a LOUD annoying sound.

the friday last and on toosday mornin’ it got stuck for awhile too – but after a few attempts at winding up and down and tugging at the window piece – i managed to wind it up fully.

but toosday noon it just wouldn’t budge!!! called amir to decide whether or not to send it direct to a workshop or wait for him to do the deed. finally decided i need to go – postponed the discussion, dropped off soo hsia and ended up camping outside the workshop for 1 hr ++ while the mechanic replaced the motor for the power window mechanism – melayang $230 this month.. *sigh~*

 

nadd’s headed for pulau perhentian – actually, she should already be there if she was on her way @ 2am friday.

but to really enjoy snorkelling – you should know how to swim.

may be i should change do #1 to learning how to swim.
