My cell group meeting yesterday night started off with playing Jenga.

The name JENGA was derived from a Swahili word meaning “to build”.

It has 54 blocks, where 3 are stacked as one stories. Hence, 18 stories high.

 

Before we extract the pieces, we need to say something about ourselves which we think nobody in our group would know. Chulet was first to go – so, my block was easily extracted. After 2 and half rounds, the block tumbled. ;p

 

Chulet wonder what is the record height for Jenga.

After some goggling, the record stood at 40 complete stories with two blocks into the 41st by a Mr. Robert Grebler who was the American entrepreneur that import the JENGA game to North America !! hehehe… practice makes perfect, eh?

 

O__O

wOw…  this would be like extracting

 

( 40 – 18 ) * 3 + 2 = 68 times !!

Chulet and her family went visiting the Setia Alam showroom (in Shah Alam) last weekend.

 (Yes – basically, every weekend is now reserve for showrooms!!) The hunt gets quite fun when the whole family gets involve. ;o)

 

Using the NKVE, from Damansara toll to the Setia Alam toll cost us about RM 2.70 and the journey about 30mins. Ok – the highway is definitely a plus.  

 

Upon entering the toll, it is about another 5 minutes drive and you’ll reach the showroom. Right before we turn into the showroom (which is on the left of the road), we noticed there was a truck parked at the emergency lane about 400m in front. There was a lot of white smoke. We thought it could be just the engine overheated. So, we walked into the showroom.

 

IT was impressive!! The whole shell was glass. The building reminded me of exhibition hall in Germany. There were more than 15 types of houses built as show-house. So, Chulet was really excited to begin looking at the house. It was right then that she notices large stream of black smoke going across from outside the showroom.

 

Chulet walked to the side of the window and then she was told by her brother that the truck was on fire! And it is a garbage truck. That was when I got really worry. I mean, tons of things get thrown away and you never know if some of these are explosive in nature or not.

 

Just as the thought cross my mind, the first explosion happens. The loud BOOM was enough to make the glass vibrate a little. After that, so typical of human, everyone ran to plaster their face along the window!! Esh..

 

I decided to walk away from the window. That was when the 2nd explosion happened. Chulet got worried and told her family to stay away from the window. After that, the 3rd and 4th explosion happened. Chulet ran to the staff there and ask if they have already called the fire brigades. Yes – we called like 10 minutes ago.    

 

Then, chulet left the showroom to the show-houses. They got a little golf buggy to drive us to the show-houses. Chulet loves going to show-house, looking at the ID, opening every drawers and checking out house prices. After the 6-7th house, we were no longer so excited. Everyone got lazy and tired. We decided to take the buggy back to the main showroom. After that, we left to go home.

 

The whole day spend visiting and we never even finish all the different show-houses they have display there!!

 

Note : we purposely took a drive next to the garbage truck. Hehee.. Yes – Chulet kepoh-ing (Chinese Hokkien for busy body). The whole truck was burnt to charcoal, the wheels are gone and NO – I didn’t see any fire engine. O__o

Chulet a.k.a Tofu has been suffering from all sort of infection during the last 3 weeks.
Hence, the lack of post in her blog.
 
Right after her H1N1 scare, this little Chulet was happy that the flu is just the ever common seasonal flu.
It took almost a week to get rid of the irritating cough, sore throat and blocked nose.
When it seems all is going to be ok, Chulet woke up with the conjunctivitis ! sighh…
 
So, it is back to camping at home with watery-blurry red eyes and a little cough here and there.
After 4 – 5 days, the redness went down. The sticky-disgusting is almost gone (eye lid sticking tight when I wake up in the morning)
 
When Chulet thought the worst is over, she suddenly went deaf on her left ear… Sigh.
Went to the clinic.. Doctor found that chulet having ear infection. sob sob.. WHY ??!! Why me !!??
 
Thankfully, after taking anti-biotics for 4 days, my ears are functioning again… HOORahh…
 
Few days later, Chulet started sneezing non-stop in office. By the time, she left work for home..
Her nose is red from the constant blowing and her throat sore too…
That night, she starting coughing and sneezing so bad that she didn’t sleep the whole night.
Thinking that it is lack of vitamins, she starting taking vitamin C and drinking plentiful water.
 
2 days later, the sneezing has not stop !! the coughing got worst.. so bad that Chulet develops headache.
Went to clinic, Doctor check and found that the problem is because I am allergic to dust !!!! ( HorroR !!!)
IF I am allergic to dust, how am I doing to survive ? There’s dust everywhere !!!!
The imagine of Hamster running around in clear plastic balls popped into my mine.. NooooNOOO !!!!!!
 
Doctor calm chulet down to explain that it is quite similar to Hay-Fever and there’s medication I can take to take away the allergy…
Phhhewww…. He explain that in some really serious case, I will need to take a jap to rid myself of dust-allergy.
WOWWww.. a vacine for dust? I guess it is the same like shots available for people who are allergic to cats / dogs.
 
Anyway, after taking these medication for like 4 days now, I am indeed feeling better.
Cross my fingers that this will be the END of Chulet Infection Magnet..
