The Effects Of Grey's Anatomy

Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy is currently showing on Channel 711, Astro.
I've watched a few and then some of the episodes whenever I remember the days and time.
So I cannot exactly say I know the entire story of Grey's Anatomy.
Although undeniably, I do LOVE the story.

And so, in order to catch up with the story,
Being the cheapskate and lazy bum that I am,
I refused to search for the DVDs, and even if I do find them I don't think I'll buy them.
So I watched it online.

I've just completed Season 1 after two nights,
And I'm episode 7 into Season 2.
Can't say I like Addison, and poor Meredith.

So with all the narrations/quotes from Meredith at the beginning and at the end of the show,
It gives me this special jolt to my brain whenever I encounter something different.
I'll call it a "Meredith-Induced-Moment", aka MIM.

Like I say, with the new chapter starting 3rd November,
I had to go and get my recent passport pictures taken for the HR Department.
With that, I spent quite a while in front of the mirror doing my make up.

I put in extra effort this afternoon.
As my usual rituals only involves moisturizer, press powders, blusher and then the rest with the eyes area i.e. eyebrow, eyeliner and mascara.
Yes, do not be too surprised to know that I do not use foundation.

Well, I used to but after a while I realized that my skin condition deteriorates,
And it makes me look like as though I used the whole tube of foundation in one go.
Too much going on, hence no foundation on normal days.

But today was different.
Taking photos under studio lighting requires extra coverage.
So I had on moisturizer, correction fluid in purple to give my face the extra glow, liquid foundation followed by powder dusted on with a big brush.
I even spent time trimming my brows the night before.
I even put on my most natural pair of falsies!

My ONLY natural pair actually.
I have a few others really dramatic ones with Shu Uemura feathers look-alike sans the brand.
So I looked dressed up today as I put on a white blouse with my blazer on together with my perfectly made up face.

I haven't even started on my "Meredith-Induced-Moment".

So people go about their lives with a judgmental mindset.
We judge everything and everybody within our minds.

When we see a young pretty looking girl walking with a upper-middle-aged man, we pre-judged her as the mistress.
When we see a young girl dressed sloppily carrying a Louis Vuitton Galliera GM, we pre-judged it as a fake.

It's all the same in retail as well.
When customers walk in,
We see 3 things. The bag they carry, the watch they wear and the shoes they put on.
There we decides the potentiality.
But that doesn't mean we don't deliver good customer service.
We do, with a lower level of expectation that they will purchase it today, that's all.
But we also hope they will come back when they do have the extra cash flow.

So we judge people with their appearances.

And like I said, I looked quite dressed up.
After I had the photos taken, I detoured to Sunway Pyramid to just say hi to some friends.
I went into Polo Haus for the first time.
The lady who clearly recognizes me from the time I worked at Guess,
Actually walked up to see if I needed assistance.

Then when I was walking out from the ladies,
A security guard walked past,
And he actually smiled at me.

That said, we all are judgmental, one way or another.
Saying inner beauty is the utmost important criterion in a person is quite foolish.
Will you know a person's inner beauty if you hadn't judged and decided that he/she looked OK enough for you to go one step further?

So when and how do we decides if the person passes through the judging process?

It was nice that the lady at Polo Haus assisted me.
But if I were to have the money to go shopping,
I wouldn't really bother to dress up at all.

I'll be in my simplest top and a skirt so that I can get in and out of clothes as quickly as I can in the fitting room.
I'll be in my most comfortable slippers so that I can try on that faux snakeskin square-headed heels by just wiggling my slippers off with a shake of the leg.

I was all dressed up today.
But little did the Sales Assistant at Polo Haus know that all I had in my wallet was RM10.

Embarking On A New Chapter

Endang, thank you for checking in all the time until finally you see my new post again =)
FuWei, isn't it scary to see how time flies. 1 year eh? Haha..
SS, I can't be sure how long I can keep it alive but I'll try.
Cely, Zoe and Mark, thanks for the comment.

I suddenly feel that I've grown up since I'll be REALLY getting into the life of a working adult.

I've completed my internship at 1 Utama,
and it has been a great time working with them.
Extremely lovable colleagues and a great exposure into media liason.

Not that I like it very much calling and trying to get hold of media when I first started.
It was a tough job to do because they usually don't bother talking to you.
How busy they are.
But I've managed to learned and practiced to be better with guidance from very supportive and encouraging supervisors.

It was a pity that they do not have any permanent vacancies to offer.
I'd so love to stay and work for them.

That was in September when I completed my internship.

After that I spend another month working in Guess to get some much needed pocket money.
Besides, how can you say no to your ex-working friends when they requested your help during the Raya holidays?

I was procrastinating to looking for jobs.
I wanted to rest after studying and the internship.
I wanted to take a break to some much wanted vacation.
To a nice quiet beach, get a dip and maybe come back looking healthily tanned too!

But damn, no money. Sigh.

One month at Guess went pass really fast.
Then I can't give myself any excuse anymore to not start looking for jobs.

My stomach needs food.
And my car need petrol.
Then I secretly pray one day car can run on water + salt.
But bloody hell petrol price went up. Fuck.

I finally edited my resume on Jobstreet and sent my resumes to all major shopping centres in PJ and Klang Valley.
Just when I thought I won't get lucky,
Since what they say getting job near year end is tough with people wanting to hold on to their jobs hoping for the year end bonus and whatnot.
And of course with the recent state of the economy.

Then came the call from Pavilion =D

So I'll be embarking on a new chapter in my life,
Ended the phase as a student at College/University/ University College/University College Sedaya International University (UCSI University) - if you get what I mean. Stupid stuff.
Ended the phase of one part time job after another.
Ended the phase of doing freelance modeling and some reallly reaaally minor part in a movie.
Ended the phase where I constantly have to worry about money and getting days by.

I'll be starting this new chapter from 3rd November.
Christine Chua - Events & Promotions Executive, Pavilion-KL.
And with what YingHan says, consistent supply of moolah!

Ohhh, I'm liking the sound of that already!!

I want to blog again

If you are reading this now, thank you for checking in regularly although I've not updated anything at all.
In fact, I closed my blog for the past 1 year.
In another 4 days it would be exactly 1 year.

I have not really kept in mind on how long I've closed it.
It shocked me to know.

If you've been constantly coming back to check and all you saw was,
"This blog is open for invited readers only"
Please don't get all messed up with me.
You were not excluded from my blog.

Nobody was ever in the invited list.
Except myself, of course.

For the past 1 year, I've only read people's blog.

And now, I felt as though I want to start blogging again.
Not sure how I'll fair but it was something I missed.

I want to change how I do my blog from now on.
No obligations whatsoever.
No trying too hard to write an entry.

Then again, it's my blog - A place that is mine.

Resurrection

And so I was told that my blog is dead, or perhaps, WAS dead.
I wouldn't deny that.
I haven't been updating since 2nd August,
And that's a month of spider-web growing and dust collecting.

I'm sure my extremely humble amount of readers have lost interest,
Or have lost the urge to even click on to read my blog.

Much apologies.

You see,

I have been extremely busy for the past month,
With piled up assignments and examinations,
Alongside with part-time work,
I was *totally* swamped!

I even blogged asking for help in one of my assignment.
I also expressed my worries over the subjects that I was taking the previous semester.

I can't help it.
The first thing that the lecturer said during the first lesson was,
"50% of the students failed this subject last semester, are you afraid yet?"
It was Media Law & Ethics.

How difficult can it be?
Well. For Media Law, you learn about Printing, Press and Publication Act (PPPA), Internal Security Act (ISA), Official Secret Act (OSA), Sedition Act (SA) and Defamation Act (DA) all within 2 months.

You think it's easy? With all the sections and cases to remember,
When it comes to the final exam, it's either you know or you don't.
There's no way to "tembak" at all.

But thank God I had experience with Law when I did Contract Law, English Legal System and Tort Law in A Levels.

It was worse for Ethics.
How do you even answer to Ethical questions?
It's not black nor white, it's full of grey.

How do you study when what you study is all about possibilities and grey areas?
Urgh! The frustration.

I won't go on about Mass Communication Research paper.
It was only worst, if not the same.

Anyhow!

Good news!

I passed all the three subjects, much to my relief.
Now I'm onto my 3rd year and can't wait to graduate.

Speaking of graduation,
My brother is having his convocation, today, in UK.
So the mother, grandmother and youngest sister is there now enjoying themselves.
The last time I called, they were busy shopping.

Some *other* exciting news from me.

Such as,
I did my first major fashion show in Melaka Megamall some time when I didn't update my blog, lol. It was for their opening Fashion Week.
Thanks to Manne.
I have pictures but haven't edited nor uploaded yet.
Maybe, Maybe, soon.

I also landed a small tiny weenie part in an upcoming local featured film.
Shooting will start soon but the movie is not scheduled for release until May 2008.
So stay tuned.

And then,
I auditioned for Elite Model Look 2007 (EML).
Got through the first audition and currently waiting for 2nd audition.
If I do get it, fingers crossed, IF la!
It's a reality TV show, similiar to the concept of America's Next Top Model.
So, again, stay tuned.

Most exciting of all,
DarlingAd and I celebrated our 2nd Year Anniversary recently <3

See la, how was it possible that I wasn't busy?
I've been doing quite a handful of stuffs while juggling with my studies and work.
Anyway, I'm actually rather proud with myself as I was able to do well in my studies and with everything else.

But for the film shooting and EML,
It was part luck I guess.
Hopefully luck stays on with me.

I also hope this time's blog resurrection will stay on too! Teeheehee.

Malaysian BLOGGERS needed urgently!!

Promise better blog posts soon with pictures (ahem Kenny).

How to get a green card?

*Sponsored Post*

Getting a work permit or a green card in the States can be real tough.
I once heard from my lecturer who was studying in the States before,
He said that, one of the easiest way to get a green card to the States,
Is to apply for a teaching position.

I don't know how true is that,
But apparently US is running low on teachers.

Anyhow, it's still good to know that
There's a company in the States
That specializes only in cases relating to immigration and nationality Law.

They serve employment-based and family-based petitions.
Surfing through their website,
It seems that they have some pretty good records,
95% approval rating in visa applications.

Are you dreaming about Big Apple yet?

The first thing you do.

*Sponsored Post*

... When you enter a hotel room.

The first thing I do when I enter a hotel room is to check out the bathroom.

I don't know how many people actually have the same habit as me,
But I will put down my bags,
And go straight into the bathroom.

I'll check the towels,
The bathtub,
The toilet bowls,
And then the taps.

Some hotels have really nice designer taps.
I don't really like those where you just press it down or pull it up.
I like those traditional ones where I have to twist it.

Traditional yet modernized design.

Even the name to it is very precise.

Mel B's Newborn Has A Father

*Sponsored Post*

I've been a fan of HOT Magazine when they first launched,
And I just got my hands on the latest issue.
Flipping through the pages and there it was about Paris Hilton getting out of jail,
Next is Spice Girls are reunited for they world tour,
And then!

One page that says Mel B's recent newborn's birth father has been identified.
Thanks to DNA,
It's *surprise* ...

EDDIE MURPHY ..

*Jaw drops*

who already fathered 8 children, if I'm not mistaken.
But the number won't be too far, either 5 or 6, if not 7.

What was he thinking?
Or what he think he was?

Really factory meh..

For those who care

... Still alive; not dead yet..

... Just too busy. With work and studies; with my final year Research Paper, Media Law & Ethics and Copywriting..

It's just too much to handle!!

And as of yesterday night, problem with the boyfriend.
A huge argument over the smallest issue.
It's most probably my fault, but could possibly be his too.
However, at this point of time when anger clouds the eyes,
It's hard to solve problems or even talk without hurting each other.
But not talking at all won't do any good either.

Relationship can sometimes be a pain in the ass; excuse the expression.

Mom called one day during my working hours.
Turned out she didn't know at all where I am working,
After having worked for 50 days,
Coming home at 10:30pm almost every other day.
One word.
WOW.
Or maybe two..
Wow and/or speechless.

Someone said my blog is very boring.
Mr. Kenny [surname].
Sorry la Kenny, I don't really remember your surname.
I think I know what it is but I rather not risk getting it wrong.
Keke.

But yeah, back to that.
My blog is boring.
Straight at my face in Flam over cheap whisky on the rocks.
No matter how loud the music was,
I can still hear it crystal clear.

Yikes!
Sorry la Kenny, to let you down.
I have pictures to blog about, it's just no time to edit, upload and blog ler..
I'll try harder ok!
Tsk tsk tsk..

*Not* A Budget Trip To Italy

*Sponsored Post*

I was chatting with my brother last night,
And somehow between the conversation we started talking about LV bags,
And other super-branded stuffs.

I was actually thinking to get him to buy me a LV Speedy 30 from UK,
The price is much cheaper even after the conversion.

And then only my brother told me it was even cheaper when he went Italy the year before.

*Bangs head to wall and bangs it again*

But of course when he went to Italy,
He was under budget,
Not exactly those trip where he spends few nights in Tuscany Villas,
So he definitely can't have extra 300 pounds to spend,
On a piece of printed leather sewed together added with 2 curved leather rods.

Oh well..

Get It Customed

*Sponsored Post*

Just the other day at work,
This pair of mother-son came in.

The son is obviously very young,
I'll say 16 years old or less?
There was his mom looking at bags and sunglasses.

He was just there,
In front of the mirror.
Constantly checking his hair, his face, his nose and whatnot.

In my heart I say, "He's at the phase of a identity search."

Everyone wants a form of identity,
To be able to be recognized.
And then, people even want their houses to be customized.

Walau eh.

Their confidence obvious.
"If you do not find what you are looking for on our website, We can build it for you!"
Who?

beaufort nc real estate

Really!

Who defines?

Post-it:
Very long post, but whatever!
Hmm, is it difficult to read such post length?
Would it be better if I were to write shorter?

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

DarlingAd always complain about this particular issue whenever we go out for food.
For example, dining in KimGary.
I'll always order the Iced Yun Yong (mixture of coffee and milk tea)
And DarlingAd will go for the Iced Milk Tea because he's caffeine intolerant or the Fruit Milk.

When the orders arrived, the waiter will always serve the Fruit Milk to me;
And the Iced Yun Yong to him.
After which we'll switch them and DarlingAd will start saying,

"See! Why must he serve the Fruit Milk to you? Guy cannot drink healthy drinks meh?"

That's the same for food as well.
The waiter always serve the heavier portion to him,
Which most of the time belongs to me *lol*
And then he starts all over again.

So what is that?

I don't know if I should be feeling anything by all these small little actions?
At one part I appreciate that the waiter acknowledges the differences between feminine and masculine behavioural,
But at another point I felt stereotyped because,

What! Just because I'm a girl, I can't eat Black Pepper Beef Steak with Spaghetti???
So what if I choose to wallop 5 Roti Canai or 4 Dunkin Donuts?

Well, it's just difficult la.

If all these were to happen the other way round,
I'm sure I'll make a fuss over it too! *HAHA*

That's why men say women are complicated creatures, we are.
But you guys still love us, and hate the fact that you guys do.
*Jumps up and down and bounces away*

But seriously, it's difficult being female.

Dah-lah have to go through menstrual every month,
Suffers all those period cramps and PMS,
And then have to spend so much money on buying sanitary pads, bras and panties,
You think sanitary pads very cheap is it?

Guys, if you go to Watson or Guardian and look at the different types of sanitary pads,
I bet you'll faint and die.

Wings? No wings?
Day use; night use?
Slim fit; Heavy?
28cm; 35cm?

Oh yes, we measure our sanitary pads too!
Of course the longer, the thicker, even the better..
For night use ma..

*What were you thinking?*

You try sleeping at night with something cotton-ish at your northern region,
And with constant out-flow of fluid,
You think it's comfortable?

Those advertisements from Whisper and whatnot,
Showing how the girl can turn left and right while sleeping,
It's just puffs!
I'll be lucky if I don't get strained back when I wake up the next morning during the time of the month.

And then there's pantyliners.. OMG.
Lets not even get there.

Not only that,
Ladies have to spend so much on getting clothes, shoes, make-up, skin care products.
I know why guys cannot understand how girls can go shopping all the time and for the longest time ever.

It's just because you guys have just shirts and pants.
Ladies have top, blouse, skirt, pant, dress and etc,
NOT including the different types within these categories,
AND THEN there's the different designs and colors.

You got to match it right!

So that includes the different types of SHOES - designs & colors,
There's something we call the sitting-down-shoe, and the walking shoe, dinner shoe, casual shoe and dot dot dot ...
*Phew* I'll never finish counting..

And speaking of shoe ,
*squint watery eyes*

I just bought a pair of black shiny pointy heel from Vincci,
Which I love it the first time I saw it,
But they never have my size 9.

The next batch of stocks came in,
I left Vincci feeling disappointed again.
So when I saw it again the other day and they have size 9,
That means DIE DIE also must get!

But while walking out of FOS the other day,
The heel accidentally went into a crack,
And that stupid damn crack peeled off bits from my heels!!!

It was so obvious against the nice shiny black.
Geram-ness to the max!
So....
I painted that part with my black nail polish.
What a girl would do for her shoe.

But girls are willing to do more than that!

Really....

Try going to MNG 2 days later.
You will not see girls walking around looking for clothes,
Instead, you'll see hungry hyenas fighting over a tiny rat after 10 years of starvation.

Oh yes, that's what I witnessed when I was working during MNG sales.
These ladies actually start queueing at 6AM when the notice states that the shop will be open at 7AM.

Scary. I know.

It doesn't work that way

Driving on Federal Highway during 4:30-8:30pm is always a headache.
Confirm traffic jam, for no apparent reason.

It just has to happen on a particular stretch.
Everyday.
If it's on a better day, the traffic starts from the Section 223 Bridge;
On a bad day, it starts as soon as Hilton PJ.

Confirm.

The traffic will crawl all the way till the LDP-Sunway turn-off and then it's smooth sailing.
Why ah?
I always use Federal Highway and I never see any accidents or what.
The cars just have to drive slower than usual along this stretch.
Bengang betul!

So some impatient drivers will start using the emergency lane.
And then get caught by the traffic polices.
Already know will get caught, especially during this hour, yet still wanna use that lane.
Sigh!

BUT!

Last time still can escape if your driving skills, can lah.
From far far, once you see the car in front got hailed, you fast fast cut into the right lane and then maneuver to the middle lane.
AHH..like that can escape la!

See that BUT! up there?
That was old time la my friend.
Police officers now work double-dose after the recent pay rise.
Now they don't stand at the emergency lane waiting for you to come.

They stand in between the middle lane and right lane to catch you when you try to escape!

*Applause*

Efficient kan?

Why can't they be that efficient when there're faulty traffic lights??
And they always like to set up road blocks on the busiest streets during busiest hours, i.e. lunch hours.

*Doink*

And that day, I saw traffic polices with their big white bikes escorting a wedding car.
That was a show kay~
Headlights all on and a few lined up;
Cutting through lanes and stopping traffic,
Just to let the car pass through.

Not like it was the PM getting married.
That time not yet la.
The car plate also not in any special color, like the Royal yellow or whatsoever.
I assume it's just a normal wedding car with a normal bridegroom inside going to a normal bride's house.

FU-YOH~~

Like how the GT babes say on Hitz.fm

CHUN~~!!!

Xtra-Small

Irrelevant note: OMG! Blogger is in Mandarin all of the sudden. I wonder if it's because of this PC I'm using at my friend's condo.. Thank goodness I can read mandarin, aye?

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

So MNG is going to have its SALES soon.

SALES

SALES

SALES

YES... MNG's sale coming 21st June 2007. *Mark your calendars!*
Behold ladies!
Save up as much as you can from now till 21st and spend all you can on MNG's Spring/Summer collection. They have gorgeous clothes by the way!
Or swipe your plastics if you wish, not that I have any..
And guys who are planning to go along with your ladies, pump up those biceps and triceps to help hold the bags =D

So I went to try on clothes the other day at MNG The Curve.
Love the new interior and space but hate the warm environment because of the lightings!
I used to wear L for tops from MNG because of my broad shoulders. And since I was still quite chubby that time, the clothes fit well on the body too.
Now, I'm wearing S/XS on tops!!
L ---> S/XS, like OMG?

I love these:

But they don't have it in Black anymore the time I went. They only have it in a shade of bright purple, which I don't like. Hopefully they'll have new stock by then for the sales.

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

I'm so in love with the dress!! It's so cute but I'm thinking if I'll wear it? I don't have legs like her.....I'm thinking it won't look as nice if paired with jeans. Yikes? But OH GOD I love that shoe!! It's absolutely gorgeous but hmm, they're not made for walking. Tried them and.. *scratches head* How ah??

*Update*

I tried on this dress just couple of days ago and it's a no-no for me. The rest of the dress was really pretty but it's just the collar problem. It's round necked and so high up, even covering my collar bones. It looks extremely conversative for such lovely floral mini-dress. What a waste! The color and fabric was lovely too. No wonder I got lured into loving this dress. The model's hair totally covered the problematic area. Yikes!

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

Definitely getting this slim fit jeans. The washed-out color is just nice and the cutting fits nicely. I didn't know I can wear slim-fit jeans until I read June's CLEO Magazine. Keke! Just need to find a design that fits, and it's just this!! Don't you just love the details at the back pockets?

And also, it's not just jeans ok. It's called Lizzy. Puuurrrfect!

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

Also getting this bag. It's so big and spacious that it's just puurfect for me to dump everything in it. They have so many colors! Black, white, brown, silver, gold, orange, green and maroon pink. I'm getting the maroon pink =) It's not easy to match with clothes but it's outstanding.

Wonder what's maroon pink? It's not as dark as maroon and not as pink as pink. It's a mixture of both and in between of both. So it's just maroon-pink. LOL!

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

Although it's nice to be wearing smaller sizes..
But difficult la because my shoulders are still as broad.
I lost weight, not bones ok!
So I had a tough time strugggling to get the tops to pass my shoulder but it fits just nice on the body.
Can't say I'm not happy =D because the clothes look nicer on skinnier frame.. *lol*

No, I don't support crazy diet plans.
And I'm not suffering from anorexia alright..
It's just stress, blame it on the stress!

I'm working everyday except for Tuesdays and Thursday, and on those two days I have 8am class - Media Law *stress madness*
Stress-ness makes me eat more, it does!!
I just wallop-ed 4 Dunkin Donuts at one go in one night, hurrr!
FOUR okay.. Chocolate puddings summore.
And then immediately after that, I went la-la-land =)

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

Okay, that day in college one Malay lady was walking with me and YingHan from the lift to ground floor.
While on the stairs she looked at my face and said,
"Oh, your face very cute ya. What products you use?"

Of all words she can think of, CUTE???

Please la.. No one has ever commented that I look cute, ever in my life.
Poeple only tell me I look 5 years older than my age "-_-
When I'm only 21, people guessed 26/27.
HOW CAN!!

Worse still, the finance people in UCSI once asked me if I'm a part-time lecturer when I queried about the seasonal parking pass.
Hallo? Part-time lecturer???
Which part of my face says I'm a part-time lecturer??

Anyway, I'm using Artistry, Oil Control Balancing series.
My skin improved a lot after I used it, seriously.
So if any of you want to try using Artistry, let me know.

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

Am I the only one who love Pirates of The Caribbean 3: At World's End??

And that I love it so much I watched it twice?? Ya I did watch it again with my boy..

I read a couple of blogs and they all have bad reviews on it.
No story line??
Got wat...
Got right? No?

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

Updates

On streamyx: It's still on PMS + Bitchy + Fucked-up mood. It's still not working and I'm still leeching on people's wireless.

On PayPal: I finally can accept my payment even though I'm still furious over the bad response I was given with when I emailed the problem to them. Not forgetting the email replied from them have horrible English. I guess PayPal out-source they customer services, to wherever that may be.

On Astro: It's on, alive and kicking! I have my entertainment back!!

Nuffnang Private Screening: Pirates of The Caribbean 3

Cannot!

I like the movie so much, die die also must watch it again with boyboy..*lol*

Although POTC 3 is also somewhat a manly man movie, but all the mushy love/romantic scenes are still very much acceptable and nicely blended it.

Unlike Spiderman 3.. Tak masuk laa~~ Especially the ending, tak boleh pakai.

Ok, better not talk further on POTC 3. Don't want to be strangled to death for spoilers but please do go watch. I guess it's one of THE most anticipated movies, along with my personal choice - Harry Potter, The Bourne Ultimatum, Shrek 3, Fantastic 4 and what else arh?

Those people who came for this event tak semangat langsung!, including myself la. *lol* There was this attractive 3D2N full expense paid trip to Singapore for the best dressed blogger, as a pirate for the most obvious reason.

I gave some thoughts on it, pondering if I should join in for the fun of it. I even searched online for costume rental shops around Klang Valley! I found a few shops that offer such services but the costumes sooooo disappointing laar!!

All their pirate costumes look exactly like CAPTAIN HOOK!!! So 'ol school~ meaning tak boleh pakai also.. I was wondering if I were to dress like Elizabeth by Keira Knightley... But don't look like pirate also!

But anyhow, now talk so much also useless because I went with a white top and jeans, *kekeke*

I hardly recognized most of the faces of the people who showed up!! Except for Cely, Hongkiat, Earl-Ku (Can't make myself to call him kukujiao in public, how can!!) ,CinCauHangus, SmashpOp, Fireangelism and Boss Stewie of course. The rest are just when I look at their faces.. "Ohhh...I think I've seen him/her before, maybe not, I'm not sure, don't know la!!"

Or some that makes me go, "Ohh... I think I've seen him/her on [blogger's name] blog before. Should be friend friend la.."

But.. Fulamakk! Once the hall is open for entrance, the amount of people swarming through the door was like @_@ !! The seats filled up really quick too!

Although the whole jing bang who went for this event did not take any group photos and poor Boss Stewie had to scream his lungs out for his thankiu speech before the movie; the free popcorn & drink sponsored by Exabytes, putting faces behind blog URLs, and the movie itself made the night worth it all!

Looking forward for the next event from Nuffnang! If you have yet to join, act now and join the fun community while earning money blogging. Who says you can't make money online?

"I want to buy him dinner"

I went to my mom and tried my luck asking her to write a cheque to settle my semester's tuition fee which was long overdue.
She said she doesn't have the amount I needed in her current account for now.
She asked me when is the latest I need to pay up, and I said next Monday; which was a lie because it was due at least 2 weeks ago.

2 weeks ago I tried asking her and she did the few small little actions that I predicted.
First, she ignored me.
Second, she ignored me again.
Third, she said she doesn't have that amount in the account.

After a few long seconds of silence, I just stood there waiting for her to confirm if she will write me the cheque latest by next monday.
More silence.
I broke it by saying, "So I'll ask you again next Monday la ok?"
And she mumbled something that sounded like, "I don't have the money now la.."

Just before I wanted to step out of her room, she suddenly asked.
"What's Adrian's phone number?"

I froze and my mind went blank for a while.
"Who's number?", I thought.

She repeated her question, "What's Adrian's number?"

It is so freaky for her to suddenly ask for my boy's number so I asked her what is her intention of wanting it?

"Just give me his number la."
"Why do you need it for?"
"I want to buy him dinner." [Huh?? Try harder..]

I just stood there staring at her long and hard. My brain went racing thinking of the multiple possibilities on why and what she would do with Adrian's number.

I turned my sight and looked at Grace who was sitting at the desk doing her assignment. Grace lip read what I was trying to tell her.

"Why she suddenly want his number?"
Grace responded and I lip read, "I also don't know."
"So freaky wan.. Should I give or what?"
"No, don't bother."

Just right at this time, mom turned and looked at me asking me once again, "Are you going to give me Adrian's number?"

She asked in such manner as though demanding me for it. Her tone suggested that I should give it to her.

I braved myself and said to her, "No. You're asking in such a weird manner, I won't give it to you."

"No? Fine then." She stood from her bed and walked away.

I left her room.

____________________________________________________

Grace texted me the conversation she had with mom just right after I left the room.

"Why do you want the number for? Why suddenly ask for it?"
"What suddenly? Just want to treat him dinner ma."
"Why? You're very close with him meh? You don't even talk to him, why suddenly the treat?"
"No reason. Why cannot treat him dinner?"
"But why suddenly want to buy him dinner?"
"Why cannot? I ask for his number but she doesn't give, she ask for money I must give la?"

The last sentence of the conversation is totally disturbing. What relevance is there between the two??
None at all! One is me asking for tution fee, for me to go one step closer to completing my degree. Another is something so outrageous and weird and freaky.
I see no relevance.

I don't even know what I should think of after this incident. Should I be worried? Should I be prepared for all the actions that she is bound to do to make life harder for me?



P/S: I think she reads my blog.
P/P/S: I have yet to blog about how she has changed, for the worse, after attending some cult-like seminar call Asiaworks. I googled it and I had bad reviews that send shivers down my spine just by reading them. If you want to know about it, just google it. I'll blog about it later.
