this post is full of anger and not suitable for heart weak people coz today (tuesday) is a very bad bad day for me... I bet the grey cloud is right on top of my head (with lightning some more)...
I was waken by my mum at 7am plus saying that she couldn’t start my car. so I stressfully woke up and head to my car to check what’s the problem. try and try but fail so I open the bonnet to take a look and found that the battery was dated 2 years back. then I called my mechanic telling him that I couldn’t start my car and most probably because the battery has RIP. he came only at 10am when he had promised to come at 9am but I wasn’t pissed off at first because I thought ‘no big deal, only change battery ma... very fast wan...’. battery changed, plugged the car key in, turned it on...... STILL CANNOT START!!! ok, that’s when I started to feel all the bad chi and definitely not a good start for my day...
while my mechanic was checking for the real problem, I decided to apply urgent leave as I don’t think he will be done anytime soon (I am unhappy about applying this unnecessary urgent leave as I desperately need to keep my leave for more useful reasons). hooked myself to the net and logged into the company oracle to apply urgent leave and checked my office mailbox too. I found this very disturbing email from my boss (work related issues). It is so disturbing that it immediately totally pissed me off and at the same time felt so damn it stress (I am still angry while writing this).
noon time, my car is all fixed and good so I went to the bank to pay my income tax (fucking sucker, taking my hard earn money just like that...). while I was reversing my car to get home, this bloody old man driving his antique mercedes reverse his car as well without noticing I was already behind him. I honked at him vigorously and he still didn’t notice me at all (I think he’s either deaf or really got no brain!). But luckily he didn’t bang my car but it was just inch apart.
maybe I should sing myself Daniel Powter's bad day.... ‘I had a bad day... I had a bad day...’

a very fulfilling weekend....
reached home about 2am after having a cuppa with Jen and Kent at mont kiara’s starbucks then straight switch on the tv set to channel 707 (discovery travel and living channel) showing travel at santorini, greece (a very beautiful country which is now in my ‘must visit place before I die’ travel list). it was then 4am plus when nothing on the tv set interest me anymore and I decided it’s time to bed.
out of nowhere, ringtone of utada’s first love rang in the air (by the way, it was 6am and I really do mean 6am sharp). I was waken up by that sudden music and immediately I hope it wasn’t him (I’m not gonna mention his name here) calling at this hour again. fortunately, it was not him but it was Nicholas calling to ask whether I’m interested to have breakfast at jalan alor (this guy really love good food at any hour of time!). surprisingly, I wasn’t pissed off but still I rejected that idea as I really needed my beauty sleep. I’m sure he would have expected that answer but so nice of him to remind that he will pick me up at 11 to midvalley (to get my e=mc2 album hehe...).
my phone rang again and I turned to my clock pointing at 10 am sharp (he definitely is a very punctual person). picked up his call knowing that he’s on the way and I only had about half an hour to prepare myself. my instant reaction, quick quick quick…. (long time never wake up at that hour to hit the mall so early)
it was only 11am and the mall is already full of people (omg, I really couldn’t believe my eyes. what a healthy lifestyle they have huh…). since my tummy was making noises, we straight went to eat (my brunch and his early lunch). we decided to eat at madam kwan’s so that I can have my favorite light meal, dumpling soup, and his favorite sinful meal, nasi lemak haha.... could you believe it that we hang out at madam kwan’s since 11am till 2pm? obviously I’m still in an ‘inactive’ mode yet and I just want to sit and rest haha….
after resting for digestion, we went to rock corner to get what I am looking for (Mariah Carey’s e=mc2 album). I found it! so happy and we still continue looking around as they are having discounts. walk, walk, choose, choose and I ended up with 3 cds in my hand (1 Mariah Carey's and 2 Michael Buble's) and Nicholas got himself Jim Brickman's too.
while wandering around, I saw this hair salon offering manicure and pedicure services as well. I was interested coz recently my feet keep on peeling skin (I think due to too many dead skin from all the high heels). suddenly, a brilliant idea just strikes me. why don’t we go for the fish spa?! since I really need to remove my feet’s dead skin and Nicholas haven’t try before, we happily get ourselves to Kenko’s. I was still quite afraid of the small fishes even though I had experienced it before. it took me a few minutes to get used to it but when I looked to my right, he was already enjoying himself haha… he even dipped his palms into the water as his palms was peeling due to alcohol side effects. after 30 minutes, we left kenko’s with a pretty feet and palms :)
Nicholas wanted to get some home décor inspiration so we headed down to mph. we browsed through the fengshui corner, the home décor corner, the architecture corner and travel corner. The wuliao us was even inspired to name our own home, I will name my home ‘the pixie mansion’ if I ever got a chance to build my own home and Nicholas will call his home ‘the bookoflore’ if he ever got a chance to build his own home. while we were browsing at the travel corner, I saw this book titled ‘1000 must visit place before you die’. I immediately got attracted to the book (like how negative ion got attracted to positive ion hehe...) and we both took the book, find a place to sit and flip through it page by page. that was when we both realized we had only been less then 5% of the world and we told ourselves we must travel more!!!
we felt tired from the enlightening trip into mph so we decided to head to bangsar earlier to get a drink while waiting for the others to join us there for the football nite. they were late as usual and the guys’ straight got themselves into the football mood and we gals as usual just gossiping and bitching all the way (I was actually into the match too, I’m just not the usual girl ok…).
it was definitely a very fulfilling weekend for me. from getting my long awaited e=mc2 album to indulging myself with so much of informative knowledge to just enjoying myself with the guys on football… hope I can do this more often :)

sunday bonding session...
last friday, I received a call from godbro saying that his wife and son will be out with their Aussie aunty who is now in KL. my instant reaction is “so what??” and then he happily told me that finally we can have an outing without Jayden (my precious nephew).
it has been years since the last time we both had time together (and I really mean only two of us together). I know it is very tough especially when he has a family to support. although he is not my biological brother, we always have the bond unlike me and my younger godbro. thinking back, he is the first person who taught me how to drink, smoke and also brought me along clubbing (that time I was still under age…scary…), oh and introduced me to my then first boyfriend (so paiseh…)
so this morning after dropping his wife and Jayden, he came to my home (so early that I haven’t even woke up). after getting myself readied, we waited for my mum to come back from the morning market so that we can head to have our dimsum breakfast. we went all the way to Sri Petaling to have a good and cheap dimsum. as usual, sunday morning is always packed with lots of people (that is why I never care to have breakfast on weekend). after a fulfilling breakfast, my family went home but godbro and I decided to hang out at KLCC since both of us never step in there long ago.
with no intension to shop at all, we just lingered and hanged out at Kinokuniya. after that, I suggested that we have a cuppa at Starbucks (been craving it few weeks already). when more and more people started to come in KLCC (we don’t really like crowds), we thought of heading back to godbro’s home for ‘potato couch’ time!
reached at godbro’s home about 3pm and we straight we start our dvd session. we decided to watch ‘american gangster’ with coke and almond nuts as our snacks. by the way, the movie is so boring that I don’t bother to follow the story. we both started to get bored and that’s when I suggested we go for a jog (trying to live healthy ma….).
godbro fetched me home to get my jogging attire then we drove to TTDI Park. halfway there, it started raining (gggrrrhh...so frustrating) and guess where we ended up? We head to Ikea instead haha... he bought a few home necessities and I bought a cute little soft toy for my little Jayden.
what a waste that I couldn’t jog with the ex-Perak runner (yeah, he used to be the state representative in high school but now I think he is worse then me haha…). But never mind, I still enjoyed the day with him like how we used to do it. sad to say that I am still in a very low mood after coming back from my Krabi trip (I really don’t feel like working at all!!!). anyway, I’ll jot down my Krabi trip journal before I start forgetting the details…

my precious weekend
at last after all the hectic months of working, I got to really give myself a break out of all the stress and pamper myself.
I started off with a friday happy hour with my ex colleagues at Finnegan’s. it’s been almost a year since the last time I met up with these gentlemen and have a drink. I don’t know why but I can always easily click with guys who are open minded enough to accept a girl like me (a not so girlie girl). it feels good to complain bout life and bitch bout my ex bosses with them (although they are still taking pays from those bastards haha….). they seem to be so interested in my hectic life, wondering why the heck on earth am I so busy with work. frankly speaking, I got no answer to it. I guess it’s either I am really bad at time management or it's the nature of my work or I am just too overloaded (and obviously underpaid…hehe). we ended quite early as I was really tired and some of the guys needed to report home to the wife.
then came the saturday noon (no morning for me as usual coz the moment I opened my eyes, it’s already 12-ish), I called Nicholas (the guy who loves pampering himself with good food) since I feel like pampering myself too (it’s just another excuse to waste my hard earn money). he was surprised that I called him out on a Saturday noon but yet he agreed to bring me along for a good brunch. we decided to head to D’lish and I dunked myself with so many cups of orange juice (I tell you… you can never get an orange juice as fresh and good as this unless you do it yourself…really very good). the brunch was very relaxing and fulfilling too. Since the tummy was full, Nicholas suggested we go for a walk coz he needs to get grocery for himself. it’s been quite long ago since I stepped in a supermarket. he was looking for fresh fruits and we found some very fresh berries like imported blueberry and strawberries. and I bought myself 3 boxes of strawberries and 2 boxes of my favourite granola bar that can’t be easily found at any other supermarkets.
thought of taking a nap after reaching home bout 5-ish but I don’t think it’s a good idea since Kent will be fetching us to Genting at 8pm. sure I won’t be able to wake up on time if I take the nap, so I drove to the gym and took a slow work out for about 2 hours and it’s the right time to head back home to get myself prepared.
I love enjoying a cuppa in the cold weather. since Genting is the only place to get cold weather here in Malaysia, so I am very happy and excited for the trip. while driving our way uphill, old memories of Danny and I on the trip to Genting just suddenly hit me. it was his first time winning money from the slot machine and it’s not small amount ok, about RM400 you know…. he was telling me that I brought luck to him and that’s when I quietly recalling what the fortune lady told me before (it’s a secret that I will always keep to myself and only those close friend will know). once we reached, those 2 guys straight guided us to the casino. I never thought of gambling that night as I’m not that interested to use my brain. but Kent was suggesting we pool our money and he will be in charge to multiply it haha…. since he doesn’t mind doing the work, we are more then happy to leave it on his hand. Jen and I was just looking and walking around for less then an hour, after that we decided to go for our caffeine treat. although we kinda lost our way, we still managed to find coffee bean in the end. Sipping caffeine fraps and puffing ciggies (only puffed 2 or 3 ciggies ok….) while relaxing in the cold weather (although I’m complaining bout the weather not cold enough) is just the best way to let myself forget all the hustles and bustles. later, Kent and Wah came to join us for the coffee break and brought us the bad news (lost all our money to uncle lim) but I must say it’s gentlemen enough of them to share their hard efforts with us in the end. Thank you very much Kent and Wah! :)
it’s a Sunday and I decided to clean up my filthy messy room… unpacked my previous baggages from Sabah and Singapore, arranged my wardrobe and cosmetic cabinet, changed my bed sheet, organized my bills and read a few outdated magazines (very sad but true that I didn't manage to read those magazines that I bought few months back). Phheewww….so exhausted and it’s time to nap again haha… and now sitting on the couch with my laptop while watching F1 and updating my blog….. hehe
and this is what I call ‘my’ weekend. enjoyed myself and hope the week ahead will be good…. oh, and I’m so looking forward to my Krabi escapade….
