~*fly me to the moon...

"How good it is, to be loved by you..."

Ok, that is just the song playing on my player right now. A bit lame la... Buble’s cd ma, what d'ya expect?

Had a darn tiring day. Slept around 1 last night only to be woken up at 2am by the resourceful guy’s text, the one I talked about previously. Pissed me off big time. Shall not get into that now, or ever. Water under the bridge...

Anyways, woke up almost 7 this morning, rushed to the pyramid bowl for the baconshop’s bowling tourney. Roomie and RayKziee were in a team with a couple others, me with a totally different crowd. It was pretty fun. Getting to just hang with people I don’t normally hang out with, and Thank the high heavens I DID NOT suck that bad! Wooo hooooo! I was not the lowest scorer in the team, our team came in 12 out of 26 team, And and… get this, I was placed 14 among all of the female players. Haha… as roomie put it, the upper half, she was 12. Ok la… I thought I was going to suck more.

Went for lunch in Subang with the rest of roomie’s team, shopped for a bit in Pyramid, got myself the slimming gadget thingy at a steal! Before we left, I manage to somehow, after avoiding that particular café in Sunway, bump into him. Him being Ian. I can say his name out loud here cos we've never had a history and ours was a path crossed very briefly yet, strong enough for it to be etched in my memory until now. He is the one that got Buble’s Home playing over and over and over in my head, in my car, in my home etc etc. for a whole week, I think.

Anyways, we needed change for the autopay, so I went to the nearest store there and ordered the cheapest thing, hot doggie. I was waiting for my hotdog and there he was, out of no where, and suddenly standing behind the counter, but thank the high heavens again, he was looking elsewhere at that moment and didn’t see me. ~Dang, Home just came up on the player.

Managed to move to the side and out of his view, contemplating if I should wait for the waiter to get my doggie or make a run for it. Then the waiter came over and told me something about going off to get something. I decided, and ran for it. Not literally la, but I sure walked fast!... forsaking my RM 4 hotdog. A bit loser and big time drama, right. Sigh. Dunno what to say. I still feel, I guess.

~*my nose itches...

I am alright with my necklace now. Sad but what can I do? Told mom and she asked me to buy lottery, cos necklaces don’t just go missing when you're wearing them, so there must be something to it! :D Chinese. I must have sounded extremely sad cos I remember her saying she’ll get a new one for me. So sweet right! But those are irreplaceable lor, eventhough they came from her as well. So, yea, I am… sigh, ok with it now.

Met this friend I know from Myspace for a couple of years for a little while this afternoon. He came to return some cash I loaned to him a couple of weeks back when he got robbed. Was just a tiny amount of money, but at least I helped, even before I ever met him in person. Tis a very resourceful guy, managed to earn back all that he lost in the robbery within a couple of weeks. I can’t share how he does it but it sure cracked me up when he told me about it. Legality is definitely questionable here, but you really have to respect the dude’s guts and… resourcefulness? Haha… Sorry la, I really can’t share it here. And no, he did not go rob someone else ler…

I’ve just been asked the reason I am still single, again. The guy’s a friend from Fb, works in the theatre industry, currently in some musicals, which I have free tix to but couldn’t find time to go for yet, and also I think he kinda likes me, so… shy ler. Since I am not looking for a bf or anything, no need la. Not like I am that big a fan of the theatre anyway.

Oh, and my answer to that question above nowadays – I don’t want/need one. That’s all. No more I haven’t met the one, or someone I want to be with, I am picky, yada yada, yada… Now I just say, I just don’t want one now. Period. You’ll know it when I want/found the one…

~*how stupid can I be?

Words cannot begin to describe the sadness I am feeling right now. I lost 2 of the presents that I got from the parents for my last 2 birthdays. My 30th birthday’s necklace and the crystal pendant that I got this year, both my favourites. The worst thing is, I don’t even remember when I lost them, and could probably be even earlier than last Friday after checking back some pics we took last Friday and they weren’t there anymore. How could I? How could I not even realise it? How could I have taken so long to notice it’s gone??? Careless and dumb people should NOT wear precious stuff on them… :’(

… please find your way back to me…

~*I am weird but guys are weirdER :p

I’ve been meaning to write about some thoughts that we’ve shared over the weekend on relationships, not the lovey dovey type but relationships with guy friends, and the roles we play in these relationships. I’ve been single for quite a long time now, and I always thought that I’ve already forgotten how be in a lovey dovey relationship, but lately I’ve discovered that, that’s not the only type of relationship with a guy that I don’t know how to be in. Turns out, I suck at being in a friendly relationship with the opposite gender as well. Relationship with guy friends are all fine and stuff, UNTIL I start to actually hang out with them (Just a note: roomie is just as bad if not worse, haha...). This is where the gender role thing comes into play.

The thing with being single and 31 is that, you can get overly self dependent. I mean, if you’re single and living out on your own, you pretty much have to stand all on your own, right? You make decisions on your own, you do most of everything yourself, you pride yourself for being uber self sufficient and in control, often telling yourself what the guys can do, you can probably do it better and pretty soon your world tend to be all about you and your self sufficiency. And if you’re like me, you might even come to think, what are guys useful for anyways?

But that’s not good, right? Not especially when you have guy friends that you start to hang out with. Like it or not, you have to let go of your control, sit back and let your guy friend BE a guy and do his thing. I’ve also learnt that you can’t be doing all the thinking or decision making (even though it might be the better decision, sometimes :p) cos if you do, you risk getting them pissed, and you, ending up wondering why they got pissed when you're are actually thinking it for their benefit anyway. Not so fun when that happens. So... that was my lesson learnt last weekend, thanks to a certain friend.

~*The Blahmmy...

Brendan Fraser disappointed me this year. Both of his much anticipated (by me la…hehe) movies were… blah. Just got home from watching The Mummy, and some Thai chow at Chakri with roomie. Quite a relaxing day, except that it’s only Tuesday! Sigh…

Malaysia’s favorite airline (or ours, at least) started their free seat campaign today. 0 fares for all their flight, if you get the right dates la. Managed to book a short Bali retreat for the parents and I, tried persuading sister to go but she didn’t really want, so, that’s almost 300 bucks saved. Would be really good if she comes along though, but I guess you can’t make a 25 year old tag along if they really don’t want to… right? Ah well… the follies of youth. Live and learn I guess. And there goes 2/3 of my small B, including my new lappie la... all compensation for missing out on my Italian dream this year. Ok la…

Unrelated note, anyone who knows me, I mean KNOWS me, knows that I am obsessed with losing weight. (Note: Obsession is one thing, actually losing it is quite another story :p) I am always on some diet, or looking for some ways of achieving that besides the obvious – exercise, which would be fine, except that I have long long hair and I hate hate washing it everyday, so my latest fad was to get one those home slimming gadgets, where I can use while indulging my favorite past time, TV in bed ler, what else :p Almost bought one yesterday, but I remembered the parents had one at home, so I’ll probably “borrow” it this weekend, and try it for a couple of weeks to see if it really works, before actually going out to get it. I’ll keep you posted.

~*goody!

Ahhh…. That’s a happy ah, not the whiny one. Why? Because I am typing this little piece right on my little bed… ahhhh… lovely. I finally got myself a little, long overdue notebook. Me likey.

After surveying for a couple a days, by surveying I mean asking my knowledgeable colleagues which notebook I should get, I was kinda set on getting an Asus EEPC. It’s small, cute and within my tiny budget. However, there was this HP mega sale thingy, that I thought I should at least check out. So together with a couple of other colleagues, we brave the M.O.A.J (mother of all jams ler) last Friday, and got ourselves to this little mall in PJ. The guys reached just about 15 mins before us and already checked out the best buy there. It took us probably just 15mins to decide on getting the notebook. 3 notebooks to be exact. I’ve spent longer time buying… broccoli (?). Seriously… but, we’re all pretty happy la…

I have yet to get internet connection, mainly because I have yet to find the time to sign up. After speaking to some experts, namely my geeky little sister (hot, but geeky :p), I think I’ll be taking the one with the misleading ad with pics of burger and drinks. Hmm… wonder if the burger has anything to do with my decision :p

Speaking of burgers, I just had my first taste of Carl’s Junior. Was at the latest fancy mall in town, trying to make use of the RM50 worth of vouchers, courtesy of RayKziee, but lo… who would’ve thought that 50 bucks doesn’t get you much these days. Of course I could top up another 50 bucks or so for other stuff, but nothing stroked my fancy. Then I thought maybe should use it to get RayKziee something, since the vouchers came from him anyway, but yea, once again, found nothing.
Too bad. Anyways, back to the giant Portobello mushroom burger that I had. Yummmmmy!!! Jakun right? Haha… but seriously too much for one to stomach though.

Since I am in the mood to blab, and since I haven’t had the chance to update for some time now, I shall continue blabbing lor…

Had a really packed weekend. It is that time of the year again where almost everyone in the office finds an extra amount of cash in their bank account come payday. Some more than others, but for me, I can’t complain, really. It could always be better but it’s alright. And since Dolly’s was way more than mine and since she’s a lovely, generous dolly, she treated us to lunch at The Apartment. I liked it. I think I liked it more than our original plan to eat at Chilli’s, but then again I am a sucker for ambience :p
Also, since Roomie’s was way lot more than mine as well, she treated her sis and I to a night out at the dingy joint around the corner. We went there because the dj happens to be a ji mui :p so it’s ok la. We had an alright night… all 3 of us were “flying” by the time we get home. Hehe… not too bad la…

Lots more to blab but I am dead tired. So… to be continued ler… nite nite…
