something he'll never do sober

Mark just called me up sounding drunk.

He told me I was very pretty.

Sang to me.

And talked in an Irish accent.

Hehe. So silly. I'm sorry. I love you, baby.

riding a human gyroscope

UPDATED!

Last Saturday, I went up to Brunei to visit Mark since he wasn't going to come back down that weekend. He wasn't able to come down because he was busy moving. So I helped him out with moving a bit. Only a bit because most of the stuff were done already. Oh, and that day was a really hot day too! So we were lucky to be able to get away from all the moving chaos early.

Mark had promised me before that if I ever came down to Brunei, he would bring me to OGDC which is the Oil and Gas Discovery Center in Brunei. All because after coming out of the Singapore's Science Center, he claimed that the OGDC in Brunei was way better than the Science Center in Singapore. Which I had no problem believing because [explanation here].

Anyway! While I was there, I got to feed the fishes which was hilarious cos they were all fighting over the food we threw into the water. I have a feeling that they have been starving for days because it's the puasa season so not a lot of people have been visiting the OGDC - so the fishes have also been fasting. Hahaha!

What girl can resist mirrors?

I also got to ride the human gyroscope which they have at the OGDC. Sweet. I wish the ride had been more intense though. I have a feeling that the guys who were operating the gyroscope went easy on me. Cos I saw several videos on YouTube where the riders seemed to get a more intense ride. So unfair!!!! Well, check this out and forgive the Medusa hairstyle the gyroscope gave me:

That was fun, nonetheless. Although I probably shouldn't have gone on the ride. Hahaha!! Cos I read the warnings which usually has the normal warnings such as the ride is a no go for pregnant ladies, those with heart problems, etc etc, and one of them was also for those who have ear problems - which of course, struck at chord with me. The sign also said, "if in doubt, don't do it."

But I'm so silly and kiasu that I wanted to go on the ride anyway. Hahaha! And nothing totally bad happened so oh yeah! *pumps fist in air* They also had an earthquake stimulator which is this tiny house with four buttons inside. Small, medium, large, and stop. You get to go inside the house, select which size earthquake you would like, and the house will start shaking. It was interesting. But not so fun after the gyroscope.

I forgot I had taken a video of the earthquake stimulator. Hehehe. It's going to be an unedited 20 second video though. I'm sure you're curious enough to forgive me for that.

There was also a tornado stimulator, which was this glass enclosure which you were allowed to enter and at a flip of the switch, a tornado would form around you and you are also invited to stand in the middle of the tornado if you like. It was too bad that it didn't work. Greg and I were standing for minutes in that glass casing looking like right fools waiting for something to happen. Hehehe.

Check your Brunei TV channels to be sure.

They were supposed to have closed by 3pm but they let us play around for an extra 15 minutes because we came so late. Hahaha! We didn't know that they would close early because it's the puasa season. Otherwise, they would close only at 5pm. So outside, we fed the fishes again and then we spotted something in their park:

Wondering why my Queen was black.

No, I didn't play. It was way too hot out to stay very long. You know what's so hilarious? They actually cut off the crosses that you will find on top of the Kings! Sheesh.

You know, I rarely update on the weekends. So you guys are so lucky, eh?? So what if it's because Mark didn't come back this weekend either. Blah blah bloody blah.

iconic kiasu behavior

After seeing Wani's oh so many nice drawings (talented she definitely is) using paint for her blog, I was tempted to try also. But I'm not very good at it. Then Halim started drawing too. So geramlah. How come he can do and I can't? Anything he can do I can do better mar. Hahaha!

Kidding, Halim! I will forever fail at peeing standing up, ok?

Yes! Was done using paint! Finally settled on this one after soooo many attempts at getting a close to decent picture. Hahaha. But Wani will forever be queen of drawing cartoons of hilarious daily situations using paint. *bows to Wani*

Don't forget to check her blog out. She just posted some new drawings! Hilarious, as usual.

Example of failure.

PS. I don't see myself drawing on paint again anytime soon.

want to see 24 minutes of your life waste away right in front of you?

I meant to blog about this video ages ago but hey. A word of caution though - it's 24 minutes long. But it's damn hilarious. Someone decided to come up with the most impossible level for Super Mario Bros. Someone else played it and made a video. And someone else took the video and decided to do something funny with it. Ah, enjoy. Oh, there are some vulgar words being said so if the people around you aren't too comfortable with hearing naughty words, stuff their ears with marshmallow or just don't give a damn.

the little bird incident

Omigosh! I just saw the most curious sight! The most awesome winds are blowing outside. It's so strong that when I looked out my window, I saw a bird hovering just outside my window! It's so funny!! You know that birds aren't able to hover, right? Well, this bird was trying to fly against the wind but it was so strong that it looked like it was hovering instead.

But the poor thing! The wind only got stronger and it was blown backwards. Hahahahaha!!

PS. Winds like these actually scare me a little cos they seem so violent. But the little bird incident was too cute!

you and i were made to get love right

Melee - Built to Last


Artist: Melee
Title: Built to Last
Album: Devils and Angels
Year: 2007




I'm in love with this song. It just feels very real. And I love when that perfect line is sung - cause this is real, and this is good, it warms the insides just like it should. And I absolutely love his voice. I know it's nothing out of the ordinary but the projection of his voice is perfect and it sounds as though he can sing anything. It's just another song that I feel very much succeeds in capturing that oh so special feeling. As much as I would like to wait, and use this song in a video compilation of all the lovey dovey pictures and videos that Mark and I might have together for our coming two year anniversary, I'm afraid I can't since I'm in possession of no such things. Also because I can't wait to share. But in any case, enjoy the song.

I've looked for love in stranger places
but never found someone like you
someone whose smile
makes me feel i've been holding back
and now there's nothing I can do

cause this is real, and this is good
it warms the inside just like it should
but most of all
most of all, it's built to last
it's built to last

all of our friends
saw from the start
so why didn't we believe it too?
now look, where we are
you're in my heart now
and there's no escaping it for you

cause this is real, and this is good
it warms the inside just like it should
but most of all
most of all, it's built to last

walking on the hills at night
with those fireworks and candlelight
you and i were made to get love right

cause this is real, and this is good
it warms the inside just like it should
but most of all
most of all, it's built to last

cause you are the sun in my universe
consider the best when we felt the worst
and most of all, most of all
most of all, most of all,
most of all. most of all
it's built to last

PS. The first video is the one we usually see being played on TV here. But I very much prefer the second video which was actually made first. I love it because it's very homemade and homemade things are always full of love. Aren't they adorable though? I've always had a thing for geeks.

so called jet setter

Mark asked me like, 2 days ago whether I want to go to Penang over the Raya holidays. MMMM! I've never been to Penang before. I thought cool, I would love to go explore and see what's so great about the food there. LOL! No one ever talks about anything else but the food when Penang is mentioned.

However, now they're changing their plans and going over to KK instead cos all the hotels in Penang and Langkawi are booked full. Aww. But regardless, I would love to go as well! Maybe this time, explore the islands properly and go parasailing!! Was supposed to go last time I was there but some *ahem* people *ahem*. You get my drift. Plus, tickets over aren't so expensive. RM180 with return. Via MAS. Hehehehe. I checked AirAsia and it's more expensive to fly via AirAsia at this point, okay.

Fingers crossed that my parents would let me go. Then can stay at hotel too! They're planning to stay at Sutera Habour! It's been ages since I've stayed at a hotel. I don't want to count in the hotel that I stayed at in Singapore cos it kinda sucked. I would've called it an inn, not a hotel.

Hum dee dum. Oh, and I would like to play tour guide and bring them around KK. Hahaha! It feels like I can do that now after my last trip to KK. *blush* Now I'm just reminded how I only blogged about one day in KK. Aww. Shucks. Maybe I'll attempt a little compressed post about my trip. Later. Hmm.. reminds me about the Singapore trip too. And I haven't even gotten to the best parts of either one of those trips too.

xxxxxx

I'm also praying to God that my ears will be able to survive the flights.. Sigh. I don't want to go deaf. Hmm.. yeah, I didn't mention that while I was in Singapore I caught a pretty bad case of the flu. My ears got blocked from me blowing my nose. That's never happened when I've caught the flu before. Anyway, the morning I was supposed to fly back to Miri, my aunt was saying something to me which I couldn't catch. So I said, "What? Can you say that again? I can't hear properly cos my ears are blocked."

To which she replied, "Oh. Then your ears are going to hurt a lot of the plane later. You better be careful and take care not to turn deaf!" That was scary to hear okay. I was worried but once I got to the airport, I forgot about it cos all I thought about was me getting home again. Yes, it hurt badly, especially on the descent. And we had to descend twice because we transited in Kuching. Singapore - Kuching - Miri. Kuching - Miri was the worst though. I felt like blowing my brains out with a shotgun by that time.

I can practically feel the veins in my head expanding and threatening to explode. Imagine that! I swore I believed very much at that moment that I was going to die. It hurt THAT much. I was close to tears on the plane and I couldn't even keep still from all the pain. I was rocking myself back and forth trying to relieve the pain but it didn't go away. I looked like a right nut then. But I survived otherwise I can't be here today. I think that's the way to survive life threatening situations. Embarrass yourself.

Anyways, was in a bad mood after that. And had an awful headache that lasted days. Searing pain that attacked the left back side of my head. Then I also started having toothaches. Went to see a doctor. He said I was lucky. I will explain it to you the same way he explained it to me.

This is what a normal ear looks like.

This is what's wrong with my ears.

It's kinda gross to think of it that way, isn't it? But yes, apparently that tube is all stuffed up with mucus that it's practically pressing up against my ear drums causing it to curve outwards instead of it naturally curving inwards. According to my doctor, I'm very lucky that my ear drums did not burst during the flight from all the pressure. When he mentioned that I could've lost my hearing and especially when he said the word, deaf, it took a lot in me not to cry although the tears very much threatened to roll out of my eyes and onto my cheeks.

The idea that I could've been deaf. Maybe not completely, but enough to take away my joy in music. Audiophile.. Heh.

Went to see a dentist (just in case. I already suspected it had something to do with my flu) about my toothache. He asked if I had the flu recently to which I answered yes. He explained that it's cos of sinus and that it could induce pain in your jaws making it seem like a toothache. No, I didn't have to pay to see my dentist. Free consultation what. I think Malaysia's trying to encourage it's citizens to go see a dentist. See this poster that I saw outside where I was stuck waiting for my dentist and his assistants to come back from lunch hour. Hehe.

Dental poster. Click to enlarge.

I sound fine about it now cos that was a few weeks ago and I had time to calm down. But I was advised by my doctor to make an appointment with an ENT doctor. Which I have this coming Sunday. I seriously doubt that he would say that it's okay for me to fly anytime soon. Cos my other doctor said that for me to recover and get better would take a few months. Up to 6 months even. And I don't want to risk losing my hearing, do I? Sigh.

cuss like a sailor

Sux. I made videos and YouTube is taking it's time processing them. Memang like this wan ka?? How come it takes agessssss for YouTube to process my videos. Usually days!! Is it like this? I don't remember it taking this long before. :-/

But the last two, no three videos I posted took days before it showed up. Very sad. Means I have to blog late. Grr. Not like anyone reads my blog but you know, blah blah blah. I just want to show no one something. Hahaha.

Erm. Today it rained. Hehe.

Eh, just now I almost got hit by some fucker's car. GERAM!! I show you how!

Gila babi betul. And he was like, 1 or 2 inches away from my car! And he had the atrocity to beep me! When he was clearly in the wrong! Excuse me, okay. I'm minding my own business and going into the correct lane. This fucker here was trying to come into MY lane. You think got two lanes there for what?! Only later then okaylah, you cut in and merge into one lane! Fucker. You don't bloody try to enter in the wrong lane. There are two lanes there for a reason! For those who turn right from the middle lane lah, duh. Like that bitch idiot man.

I wish these kinda people death, okay. But I didn't wish it on him. Usually I would but since he had his own kids with him in the car, I didn't want him to die yet. Just in case his car crashes with his kids still in there and I don't wish upon them any harm. Especially cos I assume that they're still innocent. Ha ha. Stupid stupid. This middle aged guy? I would've been more lenient if it had been a senile old man. But sheesh. Still young (middle aged) and already driving like some senile.

Sorry! Just me bitching again. Enough lah. These kind of people should drive off a cliff. Muahaha.

rules were made for a reason, rules are meant to be broken

I am evil.
I laugh when people die.
But only at stupid people who die in stupid ways.
Yes, I am so evil.
I say, "Serves him right!" at a mother who loses her child for being so irresponsible for letting her child use a motorbike when he's still under aged. Just because she's too lazy to drive him around.
I laugh at a family who loses a dad who choses to use a "shortcut" instead of the proper way around just because he drives a motorbike which means he can go off road. Just because it's only close by. Just because he's been using that illegal shortcut in years and nothing's happened.
Rules were made for a reason.
Rules are meant to be broken.
Rules were made for a reason.

being poisoned makes me sad

I feel like I'm having a hangover. Been passing in and out of sleep. Now I'm "awake". For the first time ever I feel like I need coffee to wake me up. Mweh. But I don't even take coffee. Sigh. *drops dead*

excerpts from old movies

I shrug. Lately, it doesn't feel like life has been kind to me, which pushes me into wistfully wishing that time could be turned. Either backwards or forwards, it does not matter. Although it is preferable that it went backwards because it means I get to correct my many wrongs. I won't bother dating, for one. Heh. Okay, I just won't bother dating jerks. I will learn to be more independent, I will learn to socialize. My social skills are the bleh and I will try my best not to grow up a fashion victim. Anyway, this bout of so-called depression caused me to long for what is now history.

They bring back fond memories of days past, scenes from old movies:

Curly Top (1935)
Plot summary: Wealthy Edward Morgan becomes charmed with a curly-haired orphan and her pretty older sister Mary and arranges to adopt both under the alias of "Mr. Jones." As he spends more time with them, he soon finds himself falling in love with Mary. [Source: IMDB.com]

Been looking for this movie for a long time now actually, cos I wanted to watch it again. So I ask people if they've watched this movie before and if they've downloaded it. No one has, btw. The last time I watched this was when we were still using VHS tapes. Nowadays, people rarely even still have the players to support them.

This is the orphanage scene where orphan Elizabeth Blair, played by Shirley Temple, entertains the rest of the orphans and sings Animal Crackers in my Soup in the eating hall while her sister, Mary Blair, played by Rochelle Hudson, accompanies her on the piano:

This scene is when Edward Morgan, played by John Boles, sings Curly Top to little Elizabeth Blair. I loved Shirley Temple. She had done so many movies that by the age of 10, she has already starred in over 40 movies and no wonder. She was so talented. She was 7 years old in this movie. Watch her tap dance - one of her talents that were a feature in many of her movies:



Lady and the Tramp (1955)
Plot summary: Lady, a golden cocker spaniel, meets up with a mongrel dog who calls himself the Tramp. He is obviously from the wrong side of town, but happenings at Lady's home make her decide to travel with him for a while. This turns out to be a bad move, as no dog is above the law. [Source: IMDB.com]

This is a behind the scenes look at how the song, He's a Tramp, was made for the film. Peggy Lee, a famous and talented American jazz singer, sang the song. Very interesting video. Nowadays, songs are recorded part by part and is then melded together in the end so that certain parts could be edited if not right. Back then, they recorded it all in one shot. Mark, you will love this clip:



The Sound of Music (1965)
Plot summary: Who doesn't know the Sound of Music? Of course starring the legendary Julie Andrews. I doubt you need this plot summary. If you still do, there's always IMDB. Could someone get me a DVD of the Sound of Music, or let me know where I can get one around here? I've been having a hard time locating one for myself. :(

I chose to show this scene because it's so full of naivety which is something I do miss about myself. Ah, how easily does the world change a person into a cynic. In this scene, Liesl, played by gorgeous Charmain Charr, sneaks out of the house to meet up with a messenger boy (sorry, I forgot his name). Btw, she's not really 16 going on 17 (as per song title) in the movie, she was 21:



The puppet scene where the Von Trapp children sing The Lonely Goatherd (which I also personally believe Gwen Stefani totally buthered) while entertaining their father, Captain Georg Von Trapp played by Christopher Plummer, and his lady friend:



This scene is at the Von Trapp party where the children sing So Long, Farewell to the guests their goodbyes which might also be my favorite song from the movie:



Little Voice (1998)
Plot summary: The pathetically shy LV (Jane Horrocks) lives the life of a recluse listening to her late fathers old records in her room and in the process driving her abusive, loud-mouthed mother, Mari Hoff (Brenda Blethyn), to distraction. At night, however, when her father's ghost visits, LV sings the songs of the great divas such as Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe and Shirley Bassey. One evening LV is overheard by one of her mother's loathsome boyfriends, the disastrous dead-end talent scout Ray Say (Michael Caine), who recognises her innate talent and realises this is his last big chance for the glittering prizes. Gambling everything Ray Say forces LV to appear at a local run-down, seedy night club run by Mr. Boo (Jim Broadbent). As preparations for the big event proceed apace LV meets the equally shy Billy (Ewan McGregor), a pigeon-racing telephone engineer and they form a tentative, gentle friendship. The big night finally arrives and everything is in readiness the band, the club and even a big agent from London, but what about LV? [Source: IMBD.com]

This is the scene where LV performs at the nightclub, totally winning the crowd over with her singing talent. Yes, Jane Horrocks sang all her own songs:



This is the scene where LV refuses to perform any longer on account of being shy, she only promised to perform once:



Totally unrelated
Jane Horrocks, the actress and vocal impersonator, who played LV, being horrendously (in a good way) funny:

------------------------------

Music, song and dance are some of the things that all these movies featured, as I'm sure you've noticed. I love music and I know that you know that I know that music is one of life's greatest pleasures. Oh well, I'm sure you all think I'm like, so old now. Especially since I manage to quote movies from so many years ago and especially since they were released when I wasn't even born yet. Hahahaha! I miss movies like these.

i want i want i want whine whine whine

Okay. That's it. I just spent the afternoon going through pictures on Flickr and DeviantART and like, I want a dSLR camera too. Like, really. I wanted a nice little slim camera, like a T-100 or something although I know the quality of the picture would suck but I convinced myself that there's no way that I am so tebal muka to actually lug around a huge dSLR camera but now, going through all those pictures, I feel like my own camera is so inefficient. I want to be able to produce such amazing quality pictures too! Although, okay, it's not me who's producing them.. more like, the camera is. But that's beside the point. ROAR! Get me a good one, kay? :)

as she bangs her head on the wall

Right now, at this very minute, at this very moment in time, my right upper and lower jaw is giving me hell. How's that for real time blogging for you?? Thank you, mother of all flus. This hurts so bad. Bad bad bad bad bad. I might resort to looking for a twig in my garden later just to have something to chew on. I'm apparently too cheap to buy chewing gum. Urgh!!!

mark, there's a disclaimer in this post, ok?

I've been up watching Judge Judy episodes on YouTube. Teehee. I have no idea either how I ended up watching it. And I know Judge Judy's been around a long long time (11 years now) so it wasn't like I just found out about her. So, I hope you haven't seen these yet and well.. that you enjoy her show as much as I do. Oh, I do so love horribly mean intelligent people (disclaimer: except Mark). Others being the host of The Weakest Link, Anne Robinson, as well as Dr House, albeit fictional. Oh, and Simon Cowell too.

1. This one was a pretty crazy case. And also the longest episode I've seen thus far. Usually one case would run a total of 9 or 10 minutes but this one broke the record and went on twice as long that it comes in 2 parts. Haha.
   Part 1
   Part 2
   I do wonder who this guy is though. He seems to have spawned a lot of kids and have a lot of girls for him to spare. And if he did have the pick of the bunch, why did he ever go with this looney one? Or did he? Ahh..
   
   
2. This case was just so sad. I feel bad for the ladies. One to have spawned a child with such a loser. The younger girl though.. I feel bad that she wasted all that money on such a guy and that she wasted her younger years believing she loved him. Yucks. Loser. Watch it. He sounds like such a loser to depend on a 18 year old when he's 10 years older than her to bail him out of jail, to pay back his debts, to get back his impounded car. Sheesh.
   
   
3. Oh. This one was a bit strange. The defendant is a bit in over his head thinking that he's famous and that uh... throwing up on another person is fine. Watch it and all will reveal itself.
   
   
4. This case here I think should be one of the more famous cases she has handled which involves an eBay scammer who believes she is not in the wrong when she sold pictures of a couple of mobile phones to buyers who unknowingly thought that they were bidding for actual mobile phones. I like how Judge Judy in this one went all ballistic and yelled at the girl for being a theif and stupid. I especially like the part where she said that she felt sorry for the children produced by this scammer and the thieving husband.
   

That's all for today, darlings.

i found magic shoes

Sunday, 2nd September 2007

T'was Sunday so we all went to St. Bernadette's for Sunday mass. The Father has a funny way of speaking. Almost like Father Vincent, except with a Singaporean accent. And he still speaks faster than Father Vincent. Hehehe. Usually after mass, we would all walk across the street to Great World City mall for lunch and that's what we did.

We had our lunch at Crystal Jade Restaurant. It was damn full and we had to wait awhile before we could be seated. And then, we ordered so much food! Dim sum, peking duck, noodles, rice.. we were all full and still had a whole huge plate of untouched peking duck meat. So we took that away for dinner.

Oh, Great World has like, themed toilets on every floor. The one we went into had a Japanese theme and I think if you went one floor down there was an Egyptian themed toilet. Luckily I wasn't arrested for taking pictures in a public restroom. Hahaha!

I went to the cinema and bought movie tickets for my grandma, my sis and I. My grandma went to watch 881 first. My sister and I were going to watch Ratatouille but our movie was only at 3 so we went around the mall shopping. Whee. Bought myself a pair of flats from Dorothy Perkins. Usually these kind of shoes don't fit my feet but this one does! So I bought them. They are my magic shoes. Hahaha.

They're really soft and comfy too. My feet drifts off to sleep in them.

Soon enough, it was 3pm so Andy and I made our way up to the cinema. My mom and aunt sat in McCafe the whole entire time we were in the theater. Although I bought the tickets three hours before the movie was to start, most of the seats were already sold out. Also, since they did not provide me with a seating plan of the cinema, I was not sure how much in front our seats were. The girl said that Row C was the only row left that was furthest from the screen that were available. So I just said okay. How was I to know.

Once we went into the cinema, Andy and I found out that our seats were only three rows from the screen. Erks. Everything was super big and I was lucky I did not end up getting a stiff neck by the end of the movie. Got a little bit dizzy though cos everything was so huge.

Damn, Miri, our cinema is so sad in comparison. The cinema was huge, ok! There were so many rows of seats and the whole place was sold out. Poor people in the first row. I hope they managed to enjoy the movie despite having to look straight up just to watch it.

And their seats were soft and comfortable.. the armrests were large enough to share and there were appropriate places to place our drinks. Miri's cinema seats are falling apart, the cushions have gone down from all the bottoms that have passed through, the seats are shaky from awful people who couldn't sit properly.

Oh oh! And you know what?! NOBODY'S LOUSY HANDPHONE'S RINGTONE WENT OFF!!! And no one answered their handphone and talked loudly despite other people trying to enjoy the movie. Sigh. Mirians are so rude and inconsiderate sometimes.

Anyway, the movie was really fun and I enjoyed it! Oh, the way they made the food look.. the whole process of making a good soup.. how that little rat had so much passion to make good food.. that movie was so inspiring. I want to cook and transport others to heavenly places too!

Yes, I enjoyed the movie. It was funny, cute, and inspiring. The CG was once again, gorgeous. Hey, I want to go to Paris and try out all this "gourmet" food. I never understood gourmet food. Why they would make delicious things only to disappoint with how much they would serve you. It's like you can only have a taste of heaven, but you can't have anymore than that. I sound so greedy! But really. If their food was so nice, why do they torture themselves by having so little?

But I finally understand after weeks of not having any appetite! Cos the entire time I was in Singapore, I was never once hungry. I only ate because other people ate. And almost everytime, I wasn't able to finish my food. Maybe gourmet food are for people who don't have the appetite to eat. Hahaha!

After the movie, we all went home. And I decided to move to Evelyn so I went back to Marimosa with my aunt to gather my things but in the middle of packing everything back up, my mom called my aunt to say that we left our shopping bags back in McCafe! Oh no. My magic shoes!!

My aunt made a call to McCafe in Great World and luckily they found the bag. Phew! So after I was done with my packing, my aunt and I had to drive back down to Great World just to pick up that plastic bag. If we had lost it in Malaysia, the bag would've probably been taken. Gone! Haha. See how much faith I have in Malaysians. But you can't blame me cos you know it's true.

After picking up the bag, went back to Evelyn for dinner - our leftover peking duck meat plus a few extra dishes we managed to cook up.

hurrah another travel blog entry down

Friday, 31st August 2007

Today I stayed home and waited for my aunt to pick my mom, grandma, and sister from the airport. After she has picked them up, she came back and picked me up to go out for lunch. After that, came back to Evelyn (my aunt's new place where she hasn't quite moved into yet) because that's where she will be dumping my mom, grandma, and sis to stay.

That place is still new. No one has even moved into the next block yet. AND! The whole building is glass. And there are no curtain railings put up yet! So no one had any curtains. Eeee. You could practically look into your neighbour's place. You could also look outside and see all the rooms in the other blocks. They can do the same to you, be reminded. It's like living in a fish bowl. You have to remember at ALL times that you should not pick your nose, scratch your butt, or change in the bedroom.

What a hassle. But on this night I did not stay at Evelyn. Was still staying at Marimosa (which is right across the street) because all my stuff were still there and I was too lazy to move. Hahaha.



Saturday, 1st September 2007

Today, my aunt brought all of us out to Vivocity. First thing we did there was to have lunch. Well, we wanted to beat the lunch crowd. We went to Carl's Junior. Man, I so wish we had a NON-HALAL CArl's Junior restaurant here. But I heard that in Malaysia, Carl's Juniors were halal. Not to be rude or anything but sigh... non-halal bacon. See, that's why whenever I'm in Singapore, I also take the advantage to visit Kenny Rogers. Hahaha!

I don't even BOTHER to step foot in any of the Kenny Rogers restaurants in Malaysia. It's just not the same, seriously. I have this philosophy that to live life, you have to enjoy your food! If you're not broke or in desperate need of money, I don't think that when you order horrible food that you should waste your time in eating it. Just stop. Don't even bother doing that to yourself. It's your body and it's your life, you should enjoy it! Why waste time even feeding yourself such terrible things that might in turn make you sick anyway? But of course, everything in moderation! If you eat too much fast food, regardless of how good they taste and you don't exercise, you're only gonna make yourself sick as well.

Sigh. Miri has such sissy burgers. They're pale, limp, tiny, not even filling! When I eat burgers in Malaysia's McDonalds or KFC (oh, KFC is the worst! They have the tiniest, most sad looking burgers I have ever seen! It's even better to buy burgers from those roadside stalls, IMO). But Sugar Bun's burgers don't even look appetizing in the menu pictures. Now that is so sad. Anywho, pictures!!

Carl's Junior in Vivocity.


My Western Bacon Cheeseburger. It was one the only burger for meatetarians. Perfect for someone like me!


It looks so snug.


I took off it's blanket. Now it's naked in front of the whole world.


Looking under the hood.


It's as if it were sticking it's tongue out at you as a tease.


First bite.


Inside there's a beef patty, bacon, and onion rings. Oh, and cheese of course. As well as ketchup.


Last bite!!

After our lunch, what else could we do at Vivocity but to shop? Went to this one boutique (quite large) which sold relatively cheap skirts, blouses, dresses, and accessories. I feel bad. Going in there reminded me of a skirt I bought on my last trip to Singapore which I am yet to wear. Hehe. But I like that place. It's great. The clothes look very clean, classy, fashionable, and there's a lot of things to choose from and yet they retail for good affordable prices. Sorry I can't remember the name of the place though.

OMG. Belly.


What else could it have been? :P

Then my mom and aunt convinced me to buy a formal dress, just in case. You know, since it was cheap and who knows if I'd ever need one.. and also, "Since your prom is coming up." said mom. So that day, I bought two dresses. Since when did Kim even wear a dress?? Yeah. Crazy, right. My purchases for the day:

Please God give me the guts to wear this. But please don't let people see my awful big gut that I have obtained over the months.


I feel guilty. Like, real guilty.

Oh well. So, is anyone going to the prom? I never planned to go but I don't want to let the dress go to waste. Haha. Anyone wanna be my date? Wait, I hear Mark whooping with joy that I asked that question in my blog. He's probably hoping someone will say yes too. Lazy boyfriend! I guess this means I will have to pester him to bring me either to the prom or somewhere super nice otherwise.

if i was a rich girl lalalalalalalalalaa

ARGH. I DUNNO WHATS THIS. I FEEL LIKE KIDNAPPING ALL MY FRIENDS AND GO TRAVEL THE WHOLE FRIGGIN' WORLD!!! Or just all the MAJOR CITIES. Obviously, I'm still have the travel bug in me! Having withdrawal symptoms from not buying anything today!! Aaaaaaaahhhh!! EH! COME, WE GO TO VEGAS? HOW ABOUT PARIS? AH, NEW YORK! UH, SINGAPORE? AHAAHAHA! I'm missing city life. Where have all the ESPRIT outlets gone?! Where are all the tall buildings? Gone are the billboards and brain washing medias! What happened to expensive tolls and parking fees?? HAHAHA. Okay, that I can do without. But one bad thing is that, I'M STILL SICK! I felt like I was dying on the plane and like my head was GONNA EXPLODE! I was so afraid that it really was going to happen. I could feel the veins in my head expanding to a what I thought was exceeding it's limit. WE NEED TELEPORTATION!

I think my aunt was talking about how the babies were just walking and running around the mall by themselves. :P

Today, I will be blogging for:
Thursday, 30th August 2007

Today was the day that Min would fly off to Canada. I was supposed to have woken up at 6am to get showered and ready but I had such trouble waking up that I only managed to get myself out of bed at 6.50am. And we were supposed to leave the house by 7. I quickly showered but luckily I wasn't the only one running late. My uncle was also taking his sweet time getting ready so we only left the house by 7.30. So the blame didn't go to me. Phew.

Luckily we managed to fit all the suitcases into the car as well as ourselves. We had to drop Alex, my other cousin and Min's brother, off to school first so that's where we went.

Just random.


Alex had a big red pimple smack dab right in the middle of his forehead. He called it his "bangla pimple". He would also call out, "My brothers!" to the construction workers that worked by the sides of the road as we would drive by. I told him he was an embarassesment to banglas everywhere cos he's too fair.


Going over to the airport.

We reached the airport just in time too. Because they Min and her dad had to already head to the boarding gate as soon as they got their tickets and luggage checked in. Then we said our goodbyes.

Seeing Min off at the airport.

Right after my aunt and I were done seeing the both of them off, we went.... shopping!! I feel guilty. Cos I've only been in Singapore a day and already I've been buying stuff for myself. Hehehe. This is me camwhoring in various fitting rooms. Actually, only Esprit and Giordano fitting rooms. And only because they had lighting in there so I was tempted to play around!! :D

I don't know how to take pictures of myself like this.


Camwhore.. I bought this tee too. It had my prince charming on the front.


I'm an XS, just so you can buy me more tees from Esprit. ;)


The shirt says Handle With Care. It's like advertising I'm so fragile. Hmph!


Fun with mirrors!


Dork!! I suck at taking pictures with the camera also in it. I should give it up.


I'm so yellow. This is the only picture I'm posting up that was taken in Giordano. Hee.

I bought myself 3 tees today and one pair of jeans. Together, my aunt and I probably spent about 300 dollars on clothes alone. Hahaha! But not only for ourselves.. we also bought things for my other aunts, my mom, my little sister, who would all be joining us tomorrow and on Monday.

My tees. Mine mine mine!

A long time ago, back when you could seriously call me skinny (you can't do that anymore cos now I'm fat), I used to wear waist size 24 jeans if you had bought them from Giordano. After I gained weight, I had to use either 25 or 26. BUT! Guess what? The jeans I bought today were in size 24. Lol. But I'm still fat. Maybe the jeans were labelled wrongly. Because ah.. it still felt rather loose like it didn't fit me right and it doesn't make sense cos I still have my huge ass. Hmm! Oh, and it was the smallest size in the whole place. I went around and that was the smallest size they got. For all the jeans and pants that they carried. So like totally wtf man.

Wheeeeee... of course, I may only be dreaming.

Got home totally exhausted! But I still had assignments to do. Sigh.

omg real dumb blonde!

Watch in order, k! ;)
