Spores near the motherland-foot thing

As some of you may have known, I went to Singapore over the weekend to buy shoes and meet up with my 2 favourite boys in Spore-land, Ems and Bear.



I have just one thing to point out:

Singapore makes me lose my appetite...


Seriously! The food is below my standards and my standards are very high.

I was there with the maternal unit, Naf, Aunt and Eun Ji.

Stayed in the Royal Plaza on Scotts Road which was exquisite.

Couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the place I spent all that money on shoes and I did lovelingly call it Harakiri first before throwing in random Japanese words.

Spent a whole night awake at the hotel lobby talking and laughing with Ems then had breakfast.

Was introduced to the despair which is the malay society in Singapore and realised how lucky I really am by being Malaysian.

Laughed at the concept of female fixated with white males just because it's a status.

Overall, I enjoyed my time spent with my boys and my sister.

It was fun...

rifles ready

HUNTING SEASON
YAAAAAAAAAYNESS!!!

Remind me to pack the rifles with the snorkel gear. We kind of need those for a successful hunt, not that I don't have my big guns ready as it is but remember kids: This is not a hook-up, ex-boyfriend bashing, shameless trip tau. It's just a girls weekend out.
*smirks*

27th to 29th of June I'm off to S'pore for some shoe shopping and I'll steal some time for Bear and Ems, sheysha kat Orchard Road. Sweet!

Sunday, June 15, 2008

I'm beaching, you're not.

hahahahahaha...

So happy! So very, very happy!!!
I actually spent the whole day today making lists and arranging piles of clothes.
Can you say 'anal-retentive'?
Well I can!
aye-null-ree-tehn-teef!

So anyway, almost everything is in order save the snorkel gear which I have yet to pick up from Aunty Sal.
Almost all the bajus have been sorted out, colour combination tepat sekali!
I have my OCD pouch packed so all the moneys and travel documentations won't get lost... No, it's not really called an OCD pouch.

Sidenote:
I still want to dye my hair highlighter blue. Just you wait.
I am gonna tag all my posts with names. It will be a long and arduous task but eventually it shall be done.

Kyn's back and I've met up with her
Sara's back and I must go hang out
Leeturt is leaving n he 24th for what could be like forever so on Tuesday, instead of the usual lettuce and kibbles, he gets an upgrade to lunch at Ma Maison and if I'm buggered enough about it will give him cupcakes.
Min will return to the land of the civil on Tuesday and will have to get together for some trip discussions and buying of random trippy shit with May.
I wonder if Kim and I are still on for that shopping thing on Tuesday post-noon but I'm reeling towards the non-spending because alot has gone to the Krabi trip as it is. KLEPET!
Michelle returns to the tanahair on the 23rd, plus Mo, will have a bare all coffee session as the intro to the summer vacations.
Jess'll be back soonish and her party will be an epic blast as usual.
My dear brother, Ariff, has his birthday on the 18th. Wish him if you must. You may punch him 13 times... plus 2 if he flinches.

That seems to be about all I have to say today actually.

silver lining found

Ayah sokong kerenahku untuk membuka sebuah Boutique Cafe. I'm so effing over the moon about it.
*bounces in gembira*

Anyway, that means that everyone who would likely be overjoyed with the prospect are held closer to my heart. 'Aww' moment, seriously. Mich, I'm booking you for my wall mural/grafitti... hahahahaha...

The bucket list is up. Let them be done before I get to kick said proverbial bucket.

Silver lining, I feel glad.

Presenting...

P. RAMLEE THE MUSICAL!!!



and frankly, I'm not impressed maybe because adengan lagunya bukan tugging on my heartstrings... bit too slow.

But I have to say they did a swell job with the production. I would tepuk tangan sambil berdiri if I could get off my arse from the seat fast enough. Malaysian pride... yaaaaaay...

I'm going to some Options Trading seminar in July and it's running from the 11th to the 14th which means I must reschedule 1) the open water cert and 2) the Perhentian Trip. Abit the babi.

This means that I have to talk to Leslie bout the any other open water trips available, reschedule the Perhents trip back to the 14th (leaving that night) and using the trip solely for snorkelling and berbonding. It's not as bad as I'm taking it to be but I do still have to tell the rest of the kids...

Abit the babi... again.

Oh, by the by, should I jump into Business as a degree? Only since Law is too exam oriented for me. Bastard exam boards.

banging head on table

Go figure.
*Palmface*
Guess I'll be entering the working world sooner then expected, kids.
*continues to bash head on hard surfaces on the way out of room*

Edit:

Told the eviscerating news to the parents this was what I got.
(The dots represent the estimated number of words)

Dad:
...

contrast with

Mom:
.......................................................................................
................................................................................
*walks to tv room*
..........................................................................................
..........................................................
*Walks to kitchen*
....................................................................................................
...............................................................................
*goes back to tv room*

and this is what you call meleter.

A twist?

I wonder if ProjectWonderful would allow their banner on my blorg.

In other news:
I need a backup plan in case this Law thing doesn't work (I hate Contract Law). Ideas include Walton International. My grand scheme was always the Cafe I've been planning for since Year 9 all I need was the capital and so I thought being a legal shark could help rake in the money. Yes, law was only a means to an end and not an end in itself. LAUGH IT UP LORD SCARMAN.

Main attraction:
Rakyat (citizens) should see the increasing petrol prices as an eventuality not as a way for the gahmen (government) to piss them off.

Gahmen should use petrol price increase (and the decrease of subsidies) to implement new transportation methods such as doing up the godawful LRT (hello, buy more trains la...), constructing pavements to allow people to walk on it (not to prevent motorcyclist from using it as an extra lane which brings me to banning kapchai motorbikes but that's for another story) and making more reliable bus routes (because we all know how the rakyat can't stand tardy busses).

Gahmen should also invest in finding out the market for vehicles that don't run on petrol. Make's life alot easier if we did have some of those (which includes electrics and hybrids).

Gahmen should make kapchai motorbikes illegal because they are an annoyance to the majority of the rakyat. Rakyat hates rempits with a passion.

Tangent:
I can't seem to stick to one method of posting can I?

Will ring up future plans as soon as results come out. I predict the worst. The system hates me. I shall stick it to the MAN. Cursesssssss...

The comic

Well, remember I told you T and I will be doing a collaboration for another of my shorts turn comic?

We be doin' it manga style!
XD

There's a blog running sections of it at the moment and it's still under construction, also it's by invitation only and so far restricted to the writer and the illustrator sahaja. When the Cover is to the liking of the illustrator I shall pop it up on the blorg.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... SO EXCITING!

I TAGYOO!

Got this off someone on facebook. Yes, I'm quite bored. Also, if you're tagged you're not being forced to do it.

If you have been tagged in this, write the names down of the last 21 people that wrote on your wall (no repeats), and then answer the questions. Say you’re guessing if you don’t know, but at least guess on all of them. After doing this, tag your 21 friends to do the same:

1 Jean
2 Michelle Ng3 Saraaaa4 Laine
5 Mo
6 Yuli7 Zita
8 May9 Dhina 'Leeturt' Pal10 Kyna
11 Habiba
12 Olla
13 Yunnie14 Ryhan
15 Neena
16 Tien Guan
17 Ezzy18 Diyana Shah19 Shahrin20 Aaron Yap
21 Nita

*How did you meet 7?Probably through some family reunion or Raya way back when we were at the age of pure evil but still undeniably adorable.

Oh, that would suck much... No Neena means less chatter and fun in the world... oh and band uninfluences...

*What would you do if 20 and 1 dated?FAIIIIIIIIL! First off they dont know each other and second, they hardly have similar interest.

*Have you ever seen 17 cry?Yes, but I loves her anyway
:D

*Would 3 and 6 make a good couple?
Nope, not even in the least. Sara would bully the snot out of Yuli and well... the end doesn't look too good.

*Would 4 and 16 make a good couple?
One's practically married to her current beau, albeit long distance, and the other is playing on the other side of the fence, so no.

*Describe 19:
I had a crush on him way back when, he's real smart and I haven't seen him since 6th grade

*What’s 5’s favorite color?It pains me to say this but I have no clue... MO! What's your favourite colour ya?

*When was the last time you talked to 9?
I messaged him a coupla days ago for a meetup. Spoken face to face, not since Delicious.

*What language does 5 speak?
English and Malay only at the moment but with her fixation with Catherine Deneuve, I can't imagine her not deciding to pick up French too.

*Who is 13 going out with?
Some dude in her Uni. I think his name is Andreas Sacralablabla (so I dont know how to pronounce and spell his last name) or something.

*What year is 18 in?
She's fresh out of A'levs I think...

*What is 14’s favorite music?Beats me, but I'll give it a toss between R&B and Indie... or worse... TRANCE. *die*

*Would you ever date 16?
He's gay, apparently, and we have clashing interests

*Where does 18 live?
In Malaysia you STALKER!

*What is the best thing about 4?
She's ever the darling with a heart of gold. Sharp as a tack and sweet toooooooo...

*What would you like to tell 1 right now?I will see you on stage and record your Malay speaking moment for instant replay HAHAHAHAHA...

*What is the best thing about 20?He cried when he got straight A's for a major 6th grade exam. Shhhhhh!!!

*Have you ever kissed 10?Only as a friend. Anda jeles?

*What’s the best memory you have of 3?Lepaking after one of the Summary classes on the stage in HELP's main building. I picked that one because there's too many random others like coffee and pancakes and classes and webcam-ing in Jaspal's class when we're on the opposite sides of the room... hahahah...

*When’s the next time you’re going to see 5?Saturday lunch at the Pav I hope... Cempakans meetup.

*What was your first impression of 12?Quiet... too quiet. It's c3 make some NOISEEEE!!! Stop studying you're making me look bad!

*How did you meet 11?Through Michelle. Habiba is awesome!

*Is 6 a really close friend?
Define 'close friend'. Deepest darkest secrets he knows not of but we are working together on a comic.

*Have you seen 7 in the last month?
Nope, she's in UK havng exams, good luck babes!

*When was the last time you saw 14?
Raya, forever ago?

*Have you been to 21’s house?
Nooooooo... Nita, I have to go to your house nanti.

*When’s the next time you’ll see 10?
When she gets back to the tanah-air on the 15th!!!

*Are you close to 9?Mom loves Leeturt <3>*Have you gotten in trouble with 8?
Nope. We are sane and decent young adults and we do sane and decent things like any other sane and decent person out there kan?

*What did 12 write on your wall?
She wished me all the best for my exam and hopes to see me soon.

*Would you give 20 a hug?As a long lost friend, I would.

*When have you lied to 17?Never. If it's one person I trust to handle truths straight up it's Ezzy (and the majority of my close friends)

*Do you know a secret about 8?
Yes, further information will cause me to explode if I tell you.

*Describe the relationship between 9 and 12.
I'm not sure if they know each other but I do know they went to the same college for A'Levels.

*What’s the best thing about your friendship with 1?Endless chatter for everything!!!

*What’s the worst thing about 6?
He doesn't project a positive self image and strikes the majority as meek and unsociable but really, he's a nice guy give him a chance.

*Have you ever danced with 14?
In the pale moon-light???
Nope... Then again. I dance only in front of people who've heard me fart. XD

*Does 11 have a bf/gf?

"JOM AMBIL SEKARANG!"

*Has 7 met your mother?Yep, that's what rellies do: meet your mom...

*How did you meet 21?It was form 4 in MIGS. She was running around with epic hair with a book in her arm frantically searching for Mr. Shahul (Add-math makes people crazy) But i've known her since form 3.

*Did you ever accidentally physically hurt 18?
Nope, I never physically hurt anyone. My MO is verbal abuse via sarcasm and intense cynicism. hahahaha...

*Do you live close to 7?
Well her house is a row behind mine but she lives on campus in UK which is thousands of miles away.

*What is 8’s favorite food?
TOMYAM!!! and everything else too. hahahahah

*If you could change one thing about 10, what would it be?Absolutely nothing! If you change someone then they cease to be them anymore.

*What kind of car does 1 have?Her brother drives a Proton Saga. =D

*Have you traveled anywhere with 9?
To the 888 Corner Mamak in Cheras I guess...

*If you gave 2 $100, what would they spend it on?Food. XD

*What is your best memory of 2?TENGGOL! Oh, and Coffee times.

*Out of the top 21, which is funniest?
To pick just one is a sin. Michelle, Sara, Mo, May, Dhina and Neena - All funny in their own way.

*Who is the most flirtatious?
Yunnie, hands down most flirtatious.

*Which one lives farthest away?
Habiba!

*Which one do you hang out with most?

sir lar mart pargee

It's pagi and time for me to refine the Prologue and Chapter 1 of 'You' and e-mail it for T's consideration.
I have no driver today which means no going out.
Booo...

I want blue hair dye. Like, highlighter blue tau. I know where to get it but I'm being super malas. Also the place is in Sungei Wang and I dislike that place irreverently.

how exciting

I got my PADI pack today from Discover Scuba.
I hate One Utama with a passion.
I think I need to get maps for every mall there is in Malaysia for easy reference.

Anyway, I start my pool dives next week, keeping my fingers crossed cos this week the instructor and his friend will be diving god knows where. I'll be spending money on a wetsuit so I don't freeze to death in the water, not that it's cold or anything but hey, safety first.

Will be reading the book and watching the video today to get a hold of everything.

Oh, and I need to figure out where my fins, snorkel and mask are. Taboley dive without them. Core stuff, that.

Monday, June 02, 2008

*Shrugs*

I'm going to bed. I can't figure out who was so incredibly vile I nicknamed him Loki.

*throws hands in the air*
I GIVE UP!

Loki be damned.

diet day 6 and 7

Protein and Veg

Day 6 was completely disregarded for dinner.

Fruit and Veg

Day 7, it is now 11:30am.
Being female during the monthlies sucks madness. Everything hurts, you get cravings and worst of all... You're on the diet. Bummer. Also, you're tired to no end.

I will have for lunch a fruit smoothie. and for dinner a salad. or a Gazpacho... or maybe I'll make the Gazpacho for the whole day. It 's no fuss cold soup after all...

Shopping updates:

I bought a new bikini at Parkson.
I did not go to Bijou jumble sale thingy in Bangsar.
I won't be going to the SPCA Jumble sale.

To Do in the course of next week:
  • See GP for letter to allow me to dive
  • Pay for diving course at One Utama
  • Get my sleeping patterns away from the monthlies/weekend time and back to 8am.
That is all for today.

Edit:

I looked at my calendar this morning after crossing out the end of May and I realised there was a 'Loki's Birthday' on the 25th of June. I cross checked in my diary to see if I had given a reminder as who this 'Loki' was but to no avail. Who's Loki?
