"Must be a female driver"

You know, everytime someone spots another driving badly (think: driving against the flow of traffic, crushing the car boot into the back of parking lot, holding up traffic while doing a U-turn) they always go: "Must be a female driver".

I have seen guys driving badly as well -- and there must be a reason why mens' driving insurance premiums are more expensive compared to womens' right? so why the discrimination!!??!!

Btw Kok Kenji, if you are reading this, see!!! --- my driving aint that bad ooookay?!

Your Driving Is is: 45% Male, 55% Female

According to studies, you drive both like a guy and a girl. This means you're a pretty average driver, with typical quirks. Occasionally you're frustrated and or a little reckless, but that's the exception - not the norm.

ps: What do they mean by driving like a typical girl?

Flowers of the Day

There is this gorgeous flower shop near my place.

The next time I pop by, I will ask if they have flower arrangments lessons.

That should give me something to look forward to during the weekday or something!

Top of the World

Been meaning to post this up for the longest time.

Check out the view of Mount Everest taken from the plane on my way back home from Nepal.

It took me quite some time to spot the snow capped peaks from the plane ... and when i thought i saw it, i couldn't believe my eyes. Had to check with the stewardess.

Absolutely amazing. Makes you feel really small and young in the grand scheme of things.

(the range runs somewhere across the center of the photo... just a tad below the blue horizon)

Virgin Mee Siam on Tuesday Afternoon

You guys would be happy to know that I am now proficent in the art of cooking MEE SIAM!!! Yes, add that to my repetoire of culinary expertise (that plus peanut butter sandwich, spaghetti and japanese curry).

It was a SUCCESS !!!!! My neighbour ravished her 1st bowl and immediately went for seconds. Yes, she may be from Thailand and know nothing about what Mee Siam tastes like but nevertheless, Pamela scores! Woohooo

Before & After

I am a bad bad (scared scared) girl

I killed a cockroach... actually technically speaking, I merely injured it and then flushed it down the toilet. It'd really be useful to have angie around -- she killed a baby cockroach in her car, with her BARE HANDS, WHILE DRIVING! Angie, if u are reading this, you have no idea how much i miss you today! HAhahahha

Blooms by Pam

I am now addicted to flower arrangement. I am so addicted that I am pestering my neighbour to head down to the market with me so i can buy some blooms! (typically i groan at the thought of going to the market with her cos it usually means waking up at 8am on a weekend).

Did the arrangement below for her and my home. It's so martha steeewart!! hehhehheh Looks like all the flower arrangement practice I did for Wini's wedding helped after all (Thank you to the flower Aunty who taught me!)

Chinese Lesson #1

做工 and 工做 are not the same thing.

工做 = ... knowledge worker i guess.. whilst 做工 = involves manual labour ie paving the roads, carrying rice and other veryvery physically demanding jobs

so imagine everyone's suprise when I tell them that I came to taiwan to Zuo Gong.

(they must be thinking "wah this skinny girl got so much strength one ah .. better not bully her" .. hahaha)
