…that I’ve been ranting all this while about not having been to Qba before for their salsa nites and when I finally finally get a chance to go there for the very first time, it wasn’t for anything salsa-related but instead, it was a press conference for this guy.
But…
…the dancefloor is really really quite small!
| Your Birthdate: May 5 |
 You have many talents, and you are great at sharing those talents with others. Most people would be jealous of your clever intellect, but you’re just too likeable to elicit jealousy. Progressive and original, you’re usually thinking up cutting edge ideas. Quick witted and fast thinking, you have difficulty finding new challenges. Your strength: Your superhuman brainpower Your weakness: Your susceptibility to boredom Your power color: Tangerine Your power symbol: Ace Your power month: May |
| People Envy Your Compassion |
 |
| How You Life Your Life |
 You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You tend to avoid confrontation and stay away from sticky situations. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. Some of your past dreams have disappointed you, but you don’t let it get you down. |
| You Are Iceman |
 You tried to live a normal life, but it just wasn’t possible A bit of a slacker, you rather tell jokes than cultivate your powers Powers: turning self and others into ice, making ice weapons, becoming nearly invisible |
| Your Hidden Talent |
 You have the power to persuade and influence others. You’re the type of person who can turn a whole room around. The potential for great leadership is there, as long as you don’t abuse it. Always remember, you have a lot more power over people than you might think! |
| You Are More Mild Than Wild |
 You’re confident, and you really aren’t concerned with how “hot” you are. Other people’s ideas of what’s sexy don’t concern you. And this is exactly what makes you attractive. |
Slowly, signs of their existence in my life are being obliterated.
No point moping over something I’ve no control of.
Time to move on…
*check… check…. check*
I’m not particularly fond of making To-Do lists but at work, I make myself do it or else I’d never remember all my tasks and get them done.
So this week, The Boss was in Singapore from Tue-Fri, thus dumping me in the deep end of the pool and forcing me to struggle my way to the surface to breathe (ok lar, wrong analogy, I CAN swim :p but u know wat I mean) with a FIVE-PAGE To-Do list.
Today, the last day of the work week, I’m glad to say that I’d managed to complete almost all my tasks (save for a few). Methinks that’s not too bad for a newbie on her 2nd week at work, hehe. I just love checking off my tasks one by one with a red pen. Very satisfying to see all the red checks on my 5-page To-Do list.
One week break from Odissi and I’m like Jello(TM).

I.

So.
OUT OF STAMINA!
*WAIL!*

My laptop has been cured!
I’m online again… yay!
Woo hoooo!!! Argentina’s back, man!!!
I managed to catch a replay of their game against Serbia & Montenegro and it was awesome! It’s also the first match that I sat down and watched the full 90+ minutes of it, hehe.
The Argentinian team didn’t look good in the last World Cup but this time around, with new jerseys and all, they’re rockin’! I recognize some of the players who’d were in the youth team when they were here for the FIFA World Youth Cup back in 1997 — Juan Riquelme, Esteban Cambiasso, Pablo Aimar, Leonardo Franco — and I’d even taken some pics of them! And met them at the airport, hehe… And it’s cool to see them back in action again for their country.
U know who I’ll be rooting for to win this World Cup! ;o)
GAH!!! Only the King and the PM should be entitled to use police escorts and not every Tom, Dick, and Harry so-called Grandpas who think that just coz they’ve got the clout and cash, they’re entitled to hold up traffic just coz they need to go somewhere.
Imagine, there’s already a traffic jam. Then comes this police outrider (is that wat they’re called?), who u think is there to direct the traffic, but wat he does is he STOPS the traffic flow in all directions and the next thing u hear are sirens and MORE police escorts, escorting a single Proton Perdana, to gawd-knows-where.
Geez! All of us are in a hurry and all of us need to be somewhere. It wouldn’t hurt to show some consideration. Sheeesshh…
I cannot stand limp handshakes. Especially if it’s from a male.
It doesn’t matter how macho or good-looking they are. The moment we shake hands and his handshake is as limp as a dead fish, it’s an instant turn-off, man.
Yucks!
Oh maaaannnn! Since starting my new job, it now takes me, on average, about 1.25 hrs to get to work! GAH! Talk about a waste of time, man!
The roads are like, jammed up the entire way from Subang to KL! In the mornings, I leave my place, got on the NKVE, pay toll and get stuck at the Damansara exit. Then I get stuck on Sprint around Secion 16. Then I get stuck along Jalan Semantan. Then I get stuck on Jalan Tun Razak. And after work, it’s jammed from the entrance of my office, along Jalan Tun Razak, ALL the freaking way to the NKVE (via Jln Semantan/Damansara, pass Sprint)!!! WTF, man!!!!!!!
And yesterday, OMG!! I was supposed to be at MATIC (on Jalan Ampang, near Zouk) for a rehearsal for Rev’s arangetram. It took me, get this, ONE AND A HALF HOURS to get from my office near the National Library to MATIC (near Zouk), which is wat, all of 5 kilometers???!!! At one point, I was in front of Empire Tower (next to City Square). THIRTY minutes later, I’d only managed to inch my way to the traffic lights in front of Yow Chuan Plaza (it’s has another name now, which I can’t remember), which is less than 500 meters from where I was!! The KL traffic jam is just so so sooooo absurd!!!
AAARRGGGGHH!!! Am seriously considering if I should change jobs to a location in PJ/Subang just to cut down on the traffic jams that I need to go thru every single weekday. Seriously!
*Update* On Friday, I made the same journey, via Jln Yap Kwan Seng. It took me 6 minutes to get from my office to MATIC. Clear roads all the way.
I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold 
~~~~~~~~~~
When AiLing runs across someone she dislikes, she doesn’t start a big campaign to destroy/challenge their ideals/motives. She simply avoids them! Hence, if she calls u her FRIEND, u can be rest assured of her unswerving loyalty, care & compassion
AiLing’s unique, authentic & strong-willed. Her love for animals is beyond comprehension (at least for me!). She gets really crappy when stressed & it’s not wise to provoke her as u may end up badly bruised (either physically or emotionally)!!
ok ok ok! To cut the crap… u can consider urself somebody fantastic if she calls u her friend. Conclusion : I AM HER FRIEND 
~Audrey (ex-boss, good friend, now boss again)~

This beauty queen has more love for animals rather than human beings as whenevr I tried to flirt with her, I just got kicks from her…
Dnt think of doing any silly thing with her as she is too good in martial arts…. I had a personal experience of that 
Tip for first date with Ai Ling : Go in costume of cAT or PANDA!
Anyway jokes apart, she is a nice sincere (altho I doubt sometimes!) gal to work with and and at the same time a nice friend to take care of u….

I’m not good in writing testimonials but I’m doing it because U are a Great Gal & I promise U one. Hehe…
When we 1st met, U were really Quiet & Reserve. But after a while, U really opened up & our friendship deepens. I’m really Glad to find a True friend in U.
U are not pretentious nor ostentatious. Always helpful & caring. Always listen to my whining & bickering..
Thank U for being such a Sweet Gal. May U be blessed with eternal Happiness.

Always thought she was overworking herself with some many after-office activities, ie. salsa and sutra dance. 2 weeks ago, I finally see what it all amounts to in the end…
AMAZING! She dances so well, I’d want to sign up as her manager to manage her future gigs. Not that she’d let me, but one can always hope. Multi-talented to say the least, but definitely a one-of-a-kind. I’d give 2 thumbs up for this person, cause for me, she’s a Malaysian Idol in her own right.

Titus Andronicus?!! Run, people, run for the hills!!
Hmmm… your affinity for feral animals, your constant need for hibernation, Titus Andronicus…. oh, God. Can you say Attack of the 5ft She-Cannibal?
She prefers to go under any number of aliases: Dame Sleeps-alot (as opposed to Dame Sleeps-around-alot, that’s someone else. I think.), Rockchick, Catwoman, Salsa Saucy, etc.
The restraining order issued by Josh Groban against her is completely groundless; it was purely coincidence that she was outside his bathroom window that day with a pair of binoculars and a bag of vegetable treats. And baby oil.
Only dresses tartily on special occasions.

We used to be ex-colleagues till destiny had a different path for the both of us. No matter, we’ll meet again. Since we are currently still so close to each other. Hee hee!!!!!
Sure do miss those good old days though. At least I got to touch my favourite beautiful things. Yum!!!

She could stare down any cat, and her CFM (Come Fight Me) poses are known to ward off evil spirits. She’s a perfectionist who doesn’t settle for less, her fetishes for shoes can reach the tops of KLCC, and she can sure spell RYZE with her ***
But don’t let all these fool you! Beneath the killer looks, she a YOUNG, kind, sweet, caring, spunky, innocent, thoughtful lovely YOUNG lass with a heart of gold.

I can say, she is a great companion…a great friend.Altho we went separate ways…….she was in USA….I was in Australia……this girl has a special place in my heart..now and always. HEY! Its about time to meet-up..and have some fun…Hugz…

my sis: she’s anal, rigid, easily annoyed (it takes soooo little to irritate her!), damned dicsiplined (more than me anyway) and a champion for the environment and animal causes. try and cross her on her ideals and you’re fired meat, man! she’s also quite sweet, very helpful, extremely kind to animals and to some people, and if you’re a friend in need, would probably go all out to help you. But does not like to incovenience her own friends.
oh, and an ok kid sis lah. hahahahah!! used to poke me in the ribs to wake me up, irritated the hell out of me. now i poke her in the ribs to annoy her. occasionally.
