More "You Belong To Me..."

I know that I posted something about this several years ago when I was in my uni days and I was watching reruns of Ally McBeal. Despite it being a nice song, I didn't think much of writing anything else that would even remotely be associated with this.

Until I found a Jason Wade mp3 :D

Jason Who!? Jason Wade = Lifehouse! :D (If you don't know Lifehouse, don't bother to read the rest of this post *hmmph*)

*ahems*

(give Melissa the EVIL EYE... "I KNOW what you are thinking!!! *continue to glare at you accusingly* You think that I'm only blogging about this because he's good looking, but I am perfectly capable of blogging about other things too! *phwek*)

Yes, Jason Wade is indeed quite good looking - especially when the haircut is right. Maybe not "quite" but "very" but it's just wordplay. Alex Band is waaaaaaaay hotter, in my books anyway. But what is most captivating about him is his distinctive voice. Coarse and deep.. Somewhat similar to Alex Band! hahahaha...

Okok... Back to the topic at hand. I've always loved the song "You Belong To Me", especially when I heard Vonda Shepard's version of it on Ally McBeal. But when I found Jason Wade's version, it shed a totally new light on the song! The song's been stripped bare of its frills and was performed acoustic *dreamy eyed*

I'm such a sap for ballads...

I couldn't find the video of it on YouTube but I found a cover version performed by someone else and it was good too *grins* Gawd... guitars are so hot *winks*

I've always said that I would learn how to play the guitar one day and I've decided that when that day comes, this is the first song that I'll learn to play :D

Don't know who this guy is but I like his version too :)

This song was also performed on the 6th Season of American Idol by a man called Sherman Pore. I saw it when it aired on TV but I didn't realize that it would be on YouTube too :) hehe... (thanks to Wikipedia, now I know~). I was moved to tears by his performance and the reason behind his stint *sobs*

Yeah yeah yeah. I've admitted it already, I AM A SAP! So???

This is the clip from American Idol :) Please prepare a piece of tissue to dab at your tears...

So sad right??? *SOBS*

I think I'm getting sappier with age *sighs*

The broken clock is a comfort, It helps me sleep tonight

Maybe it can stop tomorrow, From stealing all my time

I am here still wating though I still have my doubts

I am damanged at best, Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing

With a broken heart, That's still beating

In your pain, There is healing

In your name, I find meaning

So I'm holding on... I'm holding on... I'm holding on...

Barely holding on to you

I'm hanging on another day just to see what you will throw my way

And I'm hanging on to the words you say

You said that I will be ok....

Tinky's Extension

Tinky's got an extension!! :D

Today is actually the 10th of April 2008, I actually got this done on the 5th of April (a Saturday). That's why I changed the date for this post to the 5th of April instead of today cos I wanted to commemorate the event *grins*

As most of you already know, I got a tattoo of a fairy on my lower back several years ago. The event was a memorable, albeit slightly painful one.. and there's not a day that I look back and regret getting it done. I loved it so much that I actually regretted not getting it done BIGGER ( I was chickenshit you see? Was and still is, by the way).

Anyways, Zeeks and I planned and planned to get one done together after my incredible first experience *grins* alright, I may have stretched the truth a little. I'm the one who's longing and aching to get another one done and I've been brainwashing him for the past two years to do it with me.

I SUCCEEDED !

I got him hyped up and freaked out! We set a date in April 2008 where he would be in KL for training and gave ourselves lead time to search for our desired designs.

So the 5th of April finally dawned and we woke up feeling excited and nervous at the same time (I'll say this for myself. Zeek woke up trying to find a good excuse not to come over). We appointed Chin Aun as our designated driver in case we were in too much pain to drive and being the great sport he is, agreed :)

I wanted to get Tinky some fairy dust and a christmas star on my ankle ot upper back (the star of hope) and Zeeks wanted to get a nautical star on his back.

After a breakfast of pork noodles in PJ State, we headed over to Borneo Ink in Hartamas. Went up there without an appointment and nearly got turned away -- the next available date is in June! *scream* Then, someone who made a 3-hour appointment didn't turn up and the artist could slot us in :D As fate would have had it!

There was no turning back! Zeeks went first... and I was advised that the artist may not have enough time to get mine done. I was disgruntled and disappointed but since Zeeks had to go back to Khantan, he had priority *hmmph*

I'm gonna save the story of Zeeks getting his done so that he can personally blog about his own experience *smiles* It's not right to rob him of that...

After he was done, it was my turn. I was so excited! The adrenaline flow was magnificently inexplicable!!

First, the tattoo artist, Simon, advised against getting the single star on my ankle or upper back as it would not stand out (Chin Aun agreed wholeheartedly because he doesn't want me to get anything done on my upper back! He says it'll be visible when I wear a wedding gown *roll eyes*). He incorporated the christmas star onto Tink's fairy dust and freehand-ed it on my back (My previous tattoo was first drawn onto the tracing paper and then duplicated using petroleum jelly on my skin).

Then I had to lie down and listen to the whirring of the needle. I held my breath and waited for the sting.

And did it sting!!! It was so much more painful than my last time!! I think I am getting old *sobs* Maybe it's like getting your ears pierced. The older you get, the more painful it is. I flinched and cringed when the needle made contact with my skin (and gave Simon a hard time). I guess that's the reason why when Zeeks asked Simon if it was gonna be painful and he replied with a vehement "VERY!".

At this point, I told myself that I am never getting another tattoo ever again!

I remember the time when I was getting Tinky done.. it wasn's this painful... it was a searing hot experience and I got used to the feeling in a matter of seconds. Whereas with this one, it felt as though a million needles pierced right into my skin and into my nerves when Simon worked on the lowest part, near Tinky's feet.

Look at my miserable face in that photo! Zeeks has never seen me so subdued! hahahaha... He took the photo to etch an eternal memory of my pain, that sadist!

At this stage... the tattoo's halfway done and I'm halfway to never-never land. Surprisingly, once I've gotten past the initial pain, the middle part was bearable and my thought actually went to what pants I am going to wear to work to prevent the band of the pants from rubbing on my sore patch.

My thoughts were cut short when Simon got to the top part of the tattoo - the tip of the Christmas star. That part hurt as well!! But not as much as the first time.

My endurance finally paid off :)

The end result and the redness from the effect of the needle

Look at that beauty... Once I saw this in the mirror... I swore that this is not going to be the last of it :) I'm so getting another one!!! All the thoughts of the pain and the decision made not to get another one was throw out of the window.

It's no wonder they say tattooes are addictive :)

Zeeks says that he'll get another one only after 5 years but I think he's bluffing. He just wants to put me off track and get me off his back! :p

Meanwhile, I'll take the time to slowly figure out what I want to do next and where I want to put it. All ideas and recommedations are very much welcome and very much appreciated :)))

I'll check with Zeeks first if he's gonna post his photos on his blog. If not, I'll post it here over the weekend :)))

Updates (21/04/2008): Zeek's Nautical Star

I was just proof reading my previous post and checking it for grammatical and html errors when I realized that my life is getting more and more superficial. My life now revolves only around work and shopping!

*sobs*

Someone bloody save me before I self-desctruct!!

As an unofficial continuation from my previous post...

I HAVE NEW SHOES *beams*

I know, I know... you're probably going "What!? Again!?". But before you judge, just hear me out!!

I was out with Chin Aun to PWTC for some event that the company is participating in and while we were on the way back to the car, I saw shoes on sale *grins* That alone is reason enough to stop and browse, right? So we browsed... and I saw this pair of brown strappy heels sitting in the corner, alone by itself. I wondered if I should keep it company *winks*

Didn't look too bad, so I asked for my size and the lady told me that they only have Size 9 left. I tried it on anyway and IT FIT!! hahaha.. <--- Don't ask me whether the "hahaha" means that I was deliriously happy or on the brink of hysteria because my feet apparently upped a size *curse* but I can also look at it in a positive light.. if it isn't because my feet is so bloody big, I might not be able to get all these shoes on sale *grins*

*there's the silver lining in my cloud!*

And it was RM63.90 ---> marked down by 50% meaning, it costs only RM31.95!!!!!!!! Isn't that insane!??!?! If only all shoes cost that much *daydreams* I'd probably have 5 times the amount of shoes that I own now

*swoons with happiness*

And the best part of all this........................

Chin Aun offered to pay because it is so cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is good :D

It's been a while since I last bought shoes. To be specific, I think the last time I bought shoes was when I last blogged about it! Hehehe... Anyways, when I went back home for the Chinese New Year holidays last month, I longed and longed to buy a new pair of shoes for no other reason in particular other than I love buying and owning shoes.

Anyways, I went and looked around for a nice pair that I could wear both for work and during the weekends and I saw this pair in Vincci:

I thought it was pretty nice, with the polished wooden doughnuts in the middle *grin* But it was a whopping RM79.90! Madness right? As much as I liked it, I wasn't about to fork out 80-bucks for a shoe with quality associated with Vincci shoes. I didn't feel that it was worth it so I took my heavy heart and left for home.

A few days later, I received a RM30 voucher from Padini from accumulating points from shopping there the whole year! Great timing right?!?! :D And so I immediately went back to Vincci to buy it...

.

.

.

.

ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT SIZE 8 IS SOLD OUT!!! *scream*

Oops... I accidentally leaked that I have big fat feet...

Anyways, I hunted the entire Penang Island and finally found the single remaining pair of Size 8 left in Padini Concept Store in Gurney Plaza. During the CNY promotion period, I even got an additonal 10% off!! Isn't that great? :D

And that was the newest pair of shoes that I've had ....................

.

.

UNTIL NOW

*grins*

I went to MidValley to check out the property fair in the MidValley Convention Center only spot a sale going on in the Elle outlet.

The last time I went into an Elle outlet, I made an impulse purchase of strappy sandals at RM109.90. But I also saw another pair that I liked and it was RM139.90. There wasn't any sale so I couldn't bring myself to buy it.

But as soon as I walked in, I saw the exact same shoes, marked down by 50%!!!!!!!!!!

THE STARS SHINE DOWN!!!!!!!!

So, I crossed my fingers and asked for a size 8... the LAST pair was still available!!! I was ecstatic beyond words :D *stupid grin on face*

RM139.90 ---- marked down by 50% ==== RM69.90!!!!!!!! WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!

Look at that beauty...

*swoons*

Happily Ever After...

I love fairy tales and happy endings.

No... that's an understatement. I don't know how to put it in words. Maybe it's just me, or girls from my 'era' (I sound as though I'm ancient! haha)... I grew up reading stories that told of faraway places and magical castles. Of beautiful princesses and handsome prince charmings. Of talking animals and magic folklore.

Most of all... my absolute favourite of all... I grew up reading of Happily Ever Afters. And I believed every single word of it.

But then of course, I grew up and tasted what reality was really like. But that never really stopped me from believing in Happily Ever After. I don't laugh and ridicule people who believe in the supernatural and aliens so I don't think anyone has the right to laugh at me for believing in this. Many may scoff, of course. And smack their palms on their foreheads. But there's still this little part inside of me, that really really wants to believe in Happily Ever Afters.

(yeah... and that's the same part that also believes in fairies and unicorns)

I watched Enchanted again today. I think I've watched it a gazillion times. I never had the DVD until Mel burned a copy for me. Then I saw another DVD with bonus treats and I bought that too! Haha... fanatic, you say? I agree wholeheartedly :)

I wonder how it must have been like to be Giselle, to seriously believe in all the things that she believed in. To have such simple and romantic notions about life and love. That the most powerful thing in the world is a True Love's Kiss.

I haven't been here long enough to give worldly advice to anyone. But I have been here long enough to know that sometimes this world really screws around with you, upside down inside and out. And that even though you treat someone nice enough, that doesn't mean that they won't screw you over. I know all that, I've been through all that, time and time again. Don't know when I'll ever learn.

But I still believe that life is as beautiful as God intended it to be :) There'll be many people who'll break your heart and make you cry. But there'll also be those who'll love you unconditionally. If you really want to and if you really believe it, there can be a simplicity to life that reflects on the genuinity and purity of fairy tales.

One of my favourite dialogues from the movie:

Robert : You know, most normal people get to know each other before they get married. They date.

Gisele : Date?

Robert : Yeah. You know, date.

Robert : You go somewhere special. You know, like a restaurant. Or a movie, a museum. Or you just hang out and you talk.

Gisele : What do you talk about?

Robert : About each other. About yourself. About your interests. Your likes, your dislikes. You talk!

Gisele : *laughs* You have such strange ideas about love

Robert : Maybe we should do what you would do. You meet, have lunch, and get married.

Gisele : Oh! You forgot about Happily Ever After

I can never get sick of watching the scene in Central Park :)

And I can watch the scene at the Ball over and over again *smiles* I love the part where Robert mouthed the lyrics to Jon McLaughlin's "So Close" on the ballroom floor

So close to reaching

That famous happy ending

Amost believing

This one's not pretend

Now you're beside me

And look how far we've come

So far

We are

So Close

(because she believes that love means that he would 'dedicate a song with words meant just for you'). So romantic right??? :)

And I so love the soundtrack!

Times may have changed and children today no longer believe in fairy tale endings. I may not be a child anymore (and I haven't been one for a very long time) but I still very much do believe in Happily Ever Afters...

Running Away

[Midnight Hour]

I was just watching the season 2 of Ghost Whisperer when this song was performed on one of the episodes by this group called Crimson Doves. I was hooked on it in an instant and was immediately on the Web looking for it! Hahaha... and I've been recommending it to everyone so that they can have a piece of this goodie...

Damn nice right?? I mean me... and the song too, of course *grins*

To cut or not?

All my life, my hair has been an unruly mess. So some time in Oct 2007, since my hair was at its optimum prime for being frizzy, I made an impulse decision to get a perm! For those people who've known me since high school, you'd know that I've always had wavy hair and I've been always trying to get it to straightened out.

Since that never happened, so that the heck, might as bloody well perm it!

And that's the story of how I got my curly hair for the past 5 months.

And now, I am bored with my hair again. I keep wondering if I should cut it all off... I mean, to really hack it off until maybe the shoulders. But then it might stick out at the oddest angles and get into a fresh bout of frustration... *ARGH*

So darned frustrated!!!!!! A part of me wants to just go ahead and cut it all off but another part of me feels heavy-hearted to part with my hair. It's at times like this that I wish I was a guy *grins* then I'd never have this problem... The biggest issue that is holding me back is uncertainty. I'm just so afraid that once I cut off my hair, it's back to being a mop of frizzy mess. Not that it isn't a huge mop of frizziness now, but at least now, I have an excuse for it to be such a mess.

Can you imagine??? I am already so un-feminine... If I cut my hair real short, I'll be another step closer to masculinity! No wonder Chin Aun is totally against it! Hahaha...

But seriously, what do you guys think??

To Cut Hair ?? or Not???

Taylor Swift

I'm hooked on country music and it's all Melissa's fault!

Hahaha... I know, I haven't blogged for eons and here I am with 2 posts back to back! Ah well.. I guess that's what temporary insomnia does to people... either that or it's just cos I'm music driven.... Hmm.. maybe I'm in the wrong field and should be doing something related to music. I just can't think of what... considering I can't play any musical instuments and I can't carry a tune if my life depended on it. That doesn't stop me from appreciating what is beautiful though :)

Anyways, I accidentally discovered Taylor Swift on YouTube. I mean, considering I am anti-radio stations because the static makes me want to vomit (and that someone as untalented as JoJo Struys can actually be a DJ on MIX Fm totally baffles me). Never mind...

I said, I accidentally discovered Taylor Swift on YouTube under the section of "Vidoes Being Watched Now" and I thought she was incredible!! :D

I know you are wondering now why I blame my Mello Bello Portobello Pomelo for my sudden interest in country music. Well... it's cause she keeps promoting it and brainwashing me!! (It's a lame excuse... she actually recommended Brad Paisley but I couldn't manage to download the songs yet and I just wanted an excuse to call her by her adorable nickname on my blog~ Hehe...).

Taylor Swift is a 19-year old singer songwriter who was introduced to the music scence in 2006. She wrote or co-wrote all the songs on her debut album entitled "Taylor Swift". How cool is that? :) I guess the song I like the most is "I'd Lie" with the most heart-warming lyrics describing an unknown crush...

**********

I don't think the passenger seat has ever looked this good to me

He tells me about his night, I count the colurs in his eyes

He'll never falls in love he swears

As he runs his fingers through his hair

I'm laughing cos I hope he's wrong

I don't think it ever crossed his mind

He tells a joke, I fake a smile

But I know all his favourite songs

And I could tell you

His favourite colour's green

He likes to argue

Born on the 17th

His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes

But if you ask me if I love him...

I'd lie...

He looks around the room

Innocently overlooks the truth

Shouldn't a light go on?

Doesn't he know I've had him memorized for so long?

He sees everything in black and white

Never let nobody see him cry

I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine

I could tell you
His favourite colour's green
He likes to argue
Born on the 17th
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
But if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie...

He stands there, then walks away

My God, if I could only say

"I'm holding every breath for you..."

He'd never tell you, but he can play guitar

I think he can see through everything but my heart

First thought when I wake up is

"My God, he's beautiful"

I put on my make-up and pray for a miracle...

And I could tell you

His favourite colour's green

He likes to argue

Born on the 17th

His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes

But if you ask me if I love him...

If you ask me if I love him...

I'd lie...

**********

I'm a sucker for ballads and romance *dreamy gaze*

Then there's another song also running along the same lines but the it's entitled "Teardrops on my Guitar". Even the title is like so sad already right?!

**********

Drew looks at me

I fake a smile so he won't see

That I want and I'm needing, everything that we should be

I'll bet she's beautiful

That girl he talks about

She's got everything that I've had to live without

Drew talks to me

I laugh cos it's so damn funny

I can't even see, anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love

He's finally got it right

I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

He's a song in the car I keep singing

Don't know why I do...

**********

And then there's the cheeky tune of "Picture to Burn" about a breakup gone wrong:

**********

To state the obvious I didn't get my perfect fantasy

I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me

So go and tell your friends I'm obsessive and crazy

That's fine I'll tell mine you're gay

By the way

I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive

You're a redneck heartbreaker

Who's really bad at lying

Watch me strike a match on all my wasted time

As far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn

**********

And of course, who could forget her hit single "Tim McGraw" in which she wrote based on an actual experience...

**********

You said the way my blue eyes shined

Put those Georgia stars to shame that night

I said "That's a lie"

Just a boy in a Chevy truck

It had a tendency of getting stuck in backroads at night

And I was right there beside him all summer long

And then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone

When you think Tim McGraw

I hope you think my favourite song

The one we danced to all night long

The moon like a spotlight on the lake

When you think happiness

I hope you think that little black dress

Think of my head on your chest

And my old faded blue jeans

When you think Tim McGraw

I hope you think of me...

September saw a month of tears

Thanking God you weren't here to see me like that

But in a box beneath my bed is a letter you never read

Three summers back

It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet

And looking back on all of that, it's nice to believe...

.

.

***********

That song just tugs at my heartstrings... Making me reminisce about something that I can't quite remember anymore...

Okays... I'm sleepy already ;) Time to knock off...

Zeeks, don't kutuk my blog anymore ok!??!?! I'm blogging I'm blogging!! Sheesh...

Oh, ooopps! I almost forgot!! She's got 2 more songs that I love too --- "Invisible" and "Our Song"!! hahaha.. make sure you guys go check it out...

Nitey nite~

On The Run

I know that this is very outdated but if I don't blog about this, I feel that I have committed the ultimate sin against music. Besides, I can't sleep and I don't know what else to do.

Jay Chou has got a new album!! It's called "On The Run" and I don't know what it means and what it reads in Chinese. It's his 8th album and he's still as good at it as ever ;) (I'm biased, I know. What's important is that I'm honest enough to acknowledge it)

I mean, I love Jay Chou's music and I think he's awesome! And I love his music and the way he mumbles his way through the lyrics. However, as much as I adore him (and I really do!), I can never bring myself to purchase his album. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I had to fork out RM200 to buy the Miss Saigon CD and I didn't even cringe when I had to pay a booking fee of RM50 to order the Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat CD. But if you even ask me to pay RM39.90 for this CD, I wouldn't. AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY!!! *tug hair* I think I need to really sit down and reflect on my stand as a hardcore music lover *sniffs*

You know, I've always thought that I was a Jay Chou fan. But what fan isn't interested in buying the tickets to his upcoming concert?? What fan wouldn't go watch all his movies in the cinema?? (Just so you know, I've only ever watched Initial D and nothing else. Not even on pirated CDs or DVDs). And when he came out to KL for a "Meet the Fans" session, I wanted to go. But then I found out from my housemate that he only signs original CDs and in order to wait for him to arrive at 5pm, we have to start waiting in line by 12pm! I mean, WTF!? Like I have nothing else better to do than to wait in line clutching a CD to my chest like some besotted fool for someone who doesn't even know me to scrawl on my CD!??! I'd rather fall asleep reading Anne Rice. When I conveyed my thoughts to my housemate, she looked at me with scorn written all over her face. And I guess that kinda strips me of any title that even remotely associates me to being a fan.... *sigh*

Anyways... this CD's not too bad :D

My favourite tracks:

Track No. 2 - Rainbow (Cai Hong)

Track No. 5 - Dandelion's Promise (Bu Gong Ying De Yue Ding)

Track No. 7 - I'm Not Worthy (Wo Bu Pei)

Track No. 9 - Sweetly (Tian Tian De)

Reinforced by the photo above... I like Jay Chou the most when half his face is obliterated from view *grins*

For some inexplicable reason, I woke up this morning bloody hating my hair. I'm gonna give it one more day and if I still feel the same after tomorrow, I'm chopping it off!

*argh*

And I could tell you

His favourite colour's green

He likes to argue

Born on the 17th

His sister's beautiful

He has his father's eyes

And if you asked me if I love him...

I'd lie...

I was about to start blogging... and whaddaya know... E! came up with a segment on "E!'s True Hollywood Story" on none other than JOHNNY DEPP!! *swoons*

Then after watching that, Chin Aun comes in and asks if I wanna go for a spin... So well, until next weekend then *grin*

Toodles!~

Skechers

I'm gonna keep this short, sweet and straight to the point.

Most of you know I'm addicted to shoes and I love shoes-shopping. But then, I love shoe-owning even more. As as most of you would also know, my favourite brand for sporty shoes is Skechers. If you didn't know then, you do now.

I am totally in love with a new range under the Skechers brand called "Bikers". By hook or by crook, I'm getting a pair :p If you wanna know how they look like, just go the the global website and look under Women and Casual. Just need to find a way to get the dough to pay for them.

But as I was counting the pairs of Skechers I have ever owned... I realized I missed one!!! *gasp*

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!

How in blue blazes could I have missed it?!!?!?!? My first pair!!!! Isn't it beautiful?? My mouth just turned dry...

And immediately after I realized that I lost count of this gorgeous pair, I went to the area where I keep my shoes and guess what? .....

I CAN'T BLOODY FIND IT!!!!!!!

*SCREAM*

I'VE MISPLACED MY SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*faints*

Someone please excuse me while I go shoot myself / hang myself / throw myself over the ledge... whichever is faster...

How in the world does one misplaces her shoes?!?!? It's bloody unheard of!!!!!!!!! It had better be somewhere safe or a lot of people are going to get hurt. Seriously hurt. You can mess with me, but don't ever mess with my shoes. No one messes with my shoes.

NO ONE. EVER.

No one had better be screwing with me about this. It's been a long time since I've been this pissed. And now I can't do anything else. I just keep thinking about my shoes and I can't focus on anything else!!! DOGGONE IT!!!!!!!!!

I wanna hurt someone real bad now... any volunteers???

SMfFS!

If you don't know what this is... go watch Sex and The City and observe Samantha's dialogue...

2 idiots, an innocent and 24 hours...

For clarification purposes, when I say "2 idiots, an innocent and 24 hours...", I am not the innocent. So you guys do the math...

Anyways, last week, my lifetime best bodoh buddy came down to KL all the way from his prime location in Khantan (where????) for some training. So, he came over to my place to bunk on Friday night and was obliged to entertain me for 24 hours.

While he was there, we stayed up discussing about tattoo designs *grin* Okay... more like I was sharing with him my ideas while he keeps saying things like "Hell, I'm never gonna be able to back out of this, am I?" *chicken!! snorts* and I was so rudely greeted by a statement "The only time I ever see you so focused is when we are talking about shopping, shoes and tattoos. If only you could put in this kind of undivided attention on your studies or your work..". Sheesh... But come to think of it, during exam week when I was back in college, I would be in bed asleep by 10pm -- to have better peace of mind, konon. But I can stay up all night researching tattoos, reading, surfing the net or blogging. Looks like someone needs to learn more about priorities...

Our rendezvous started early Saturday morning when he yelled "Oi!!!! RISE & SHINE!!! *@^#%@$!!!!" to jolt me from my sweet slumber. This was followed by some mumbled not-so-sweet words from my mouth at the obscene hour of 8am. Anyhoo... I showered and got dressed for breakfast with him and Thomas :) A friend from my tortured years in Form 6. Thomas would be the "innocent" in the abovementioned title.

During breakfast in SS2, in which we were so late for because Zeeks is so bloody slow (*ahems*), the two guys bitched about work and argued over who should get the Job Classifieds section of the Saturday newspaper first while I watched in amusement only to have them look at me resentfully. Just so you know, 3 months ago, I would be right there bitching and arguing with them over the papers. But as of now, I am still in a sublime state and hope to be here for quite some time *grins* (and no... neither Chin Aun nor myself hit the lottery so I am not at the maximum state of euphoria where I do not have to work and can spend all day shopping and at the spa).

Anyways, after breakfast Zeeks accompanied (or rather, chauffered) me to Tesco Ampang where I had to do some work-related stuff. All the while, my friend here complained till my ears dropped off. And there were times where we actually visualized the next day newspapers with the headlines: "So-called Friends Stabbed Each Other To Death In Tesco Ampang" or something to that extent.

After my work visit, our good times officially started *GRIN* We headed over to Bangsar Village for lunch with Thomas. Went to d*lish to have a light lunch with snacks cos we heard that the desert there is not bad ;) and whaddaya know... we were greeted by the sight of cakes in all sorts, shapes, sizes and colours sitting on a pedestal (I'm exaggerating but you get my drift...). Anyways, Zeeks ordered a beef pie with a side of caeser salad, and I ordered beef lasagne (red meat lovers, the both of us). Thomas who came a little later, ordered curry puff. We shared that and got to choosing cupcakes :) (please refer to attached photo for a better visualization).

beef lasagne (I know it looks kinda icky but I promise I did not mush it up before taking the photo)

cupcakes mania!!~

gluttony in all its glory :p

Insanity caused by too much sugar in our blood

The adorable thomas and the incorrigible me

it's supposed to be a snapshot of the 3 of us but Zeeks apparently does not know how to use my phone's camera

After d*lish, we went shopping... to be precise, WINDOW SHOPPING *bleargh* I mean, what's the point in shopping when you can't buy anything right!??! We went to shop after shop, lusting after bags and shoes. And finally, when we ran out of energy to gaze longingly after the products displayed in shops, and out of vulgarities to verbally abuse each other, we headed back home to bum for a short while... followed by Thomas politely excusing himself to go for a colleague's wedding dinner and Zeeks saying this "Uncle Mah only comes once a year. This is it for 2007. Till we meet again in 2008!". That guy thinks he's the local version of Santa Claus...

That generally sums up our 24 hours... and Chin Aun came back the next day so I can actually sum that my weekend was an eventful one :)

PS: Oi, uncle Mah, remember to put aside RM300 for our 'project' ok?!??~
