Thanks for being there for me, for the advise and reality checks given along the way. From your actions I knew you cared. I will admit that you were right all along and I have been stubborn and hard headed. I couldn't accept it if i didn't take a chance. Now, I have fallen flat on my face , got bruised and lost hope. However, I am going to get up on my two feet with a different perspective of life thanks too you.. <>
"All the single ladies
Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
You decided to dip but now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me".
Single yet again for another Valentine's day.. I have to admit had an awesome night out at the bar, partied with my friend Megan. Our friend who is a bar tender made us some great valentine "special " drink. I got tanked that's for sure. A certain someone did show up and made my day/night.
I hope everyone had a great Valentine whether you are in a relationship or single :)
Ah yes, the day of love - Val's day/ V day/ Valentine's day, whatever else you call it. It's the day where lovers show their feelings to each other and are being forced to shower each other with gifts. Obligations on Valentine's day. I pity men out there. Flowers for the ladies, dinner for the ladies, hotels for the ladies. It's the day where women get pampered, squeals of joy from receiving massive bouquet of flowers, dressing up for their men (sexy lingerie, costs a bomb!) and best of all, it's the day for just the two.
So here I am, a major sucker for love and all things romantic. Valentine's day has fallen on my feet and guess what? Endured my first Valentine's Day being single after many, many, many years. Well I must say, it was an experience! Not that there was any...but yeah, for the first time it was just weird altogether.
I must say, Valentine's Day is rather unfair. A day that does not favour the singletons. No, I am not being a pessimist about it, just stating the fact. Much to our expectation, we (the singletons) hope and pray for any sweet soul to be our valentine. On a random note, bars and clubs are using Valentine's day to earn extra income by organising singles party, speed dating and other money-making affairs. I can't believe they were charging cover charges on that day...sigh...some even, entrance fee. And that is why I personally think, Valentine's day isn't special anymore - too commercialised.
Anyway, back to my first-lonely-Valentine's-day. I treated it as just another Saturday. Sent my brother to the airport. He was leaving to Melbourne for his studies. Came home. And just drowned myself in movies. Watched three good movies in a row. Got out of my room and realised that it was already dark. Parents left the house for their own Valentine's day celebration. As for me, I had roti canai on Valentine's Day - alone - in my house- on my dining table. But during this lonely time at dinner, joy knocks on my door.
My phone rang. Answered it. "Where are you?" "At home. Why?" "I'm outside, I have something for you"
Gleefully, opened my door. And there he was, holding a flower. Running late for his own date, he was nice enough to stop by and surprised me with a purple blooming flower. Thank you. Just for that moment I felt an inch of appreciation and love, but after that it was just back to me and my miserable roti canai. The night ended at Hello Bali, Sunway Pyramid with Kristen and I and a bottle of red wine. Not your average Valentine's Day huh!
As I remembered...girls use to compare how many flowers they got on Valentine's. Here's my count. Three. From him. From Mr. Anonymous. From Kristen.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all . .
~ Quoted from Snow white~
Have you ever looked into a mirror and see what you kind of person you have become? Reflect on the past and see how much you have changed or matured. Is this really you or something influenced you to become like this..? Chasing something you want so much can make you act without thinking.. Once the deed is done you sit at say to yourself who have I become?
The weekend was good. Celebrated a friend's birthday at Port Dickson. Will blog about that in more detail on my next post.
Anyway, currently having this dilemma. Well not quite a boy-girl dilemma or family problems but I am trying to decide what to do about my hair. I really need a haircut badly. I have the tendency to change my hair often. And this time around, I am tempted to go bald. But no one seems to be giving me any support. Got a feeling I might not do it in the end - temptations and guts are there but without any greenlight from my friends, guess not.
Bonjour, Comment allez-vous? Je suis en train de prendre des cours de français à l'Université de Winnipeg
Translation: Hello, How are you? I am currently taking french classes at the University of Winnipeg.
French , Francais... The grammar of this language gives me a headache. Why can't it be as simple as the English language... For example, The spelling of one word can change depending on how its used. The main word etre but when used, the spelling differs.. damn Je (I) = suis Tu (you) = es Vous (you) = etes Il (he) = est Elle (her)= est On (it)= est Nous (we) = sommes Vous (a group)= etes Ils (guys)= sont Elles (girls)= sont None of the word looks like the original word . That's not the only issue, have you heard of feminine and masculine word? :S this is hard, but anyways i will stop here..
Monday is not my favourite day of the week. I always have a hard time starting my week after the weekend. The day at work went by fairly quickly..Cant complain about that. After that, I went to check out a shoe/handbag boutique near my house.. Saw this pair of nine west heels.. loved it, but somehow hesitated to buy it as it was slightly pricey. Came home and discovered that my laptop fail me.. The stupid thing couldn't on. The lights came on as well as the processor's fan but my screen was pitch black.. I wasn't a happy camper that evening.. As i tried and tried to turn it on.. I started getting frustrated because i had a lot of pictures in it and its going to cost me $$$ to fix it or buy a new on. Then, I decided to watch sex in the city to relax. Not happening.Went to bed at 8. The funny thing was as I was trying to fall , I taught it would be so funny if i tried turning it on in the morning and it worked.AND IT DID... Weird huh.. That's my lame story :P
Attention Girls and guys (if you like Chic-flick)!!! Movie alert!!I cant wait to watch these 3 movies opening this month : **He's just not that into you **New in town **Confession of a shopaholic..
Some photos of last weekend :)
Doesn't she look like barbie?
Enjoy this Country song, it's very popular in clubs as a sing along song :)
It started with one phone call from a friend, Kristen on Thursday, 29 Jan at 10.30pm: "Babe, what are you doing?" "Working, why? You?" "I'm working also. Wanna go Port Dickson after work?" "You mad ah?!" "I am bored, let's go please..." "Er...okay!"
And so, the rest was history. It just happened. Yes, we are mad! After Euphoria, went to Kristen's house, changed and off we went. The victims: Anthony, Joo and me. A pit stop to 7-11 to stock up much needed essentials - food, alcohol and cigs. And the journey began at approximately 4am. In the car:
The entertainer for the night, I must say.
Arrived safely to Port Dickson. We drove about looking for a good spot. Settled on a beach. Laid the blanket. And the fun began. So, what do 4 random people do on an empty beach at 5am? Well, all we had were playing cards and our clothes on. And guess what? Another crazy friend of mine, Joo decided to play STRIP POKER. Yes, I repeat STRIP POKER. Again - STRIP poker. I looked at Kristen. Kristen looks at me. Heck, we agreed to terms. (1) Guys strip to their boxers (2) Girls strip to their lingeries. (think, bikini!) (3) Accessories are considered a part to strip. (4) Loser has to strip. And then, the game began...mind you, the weather was chilly! What more can I say about the game...I'll leave the pictures to do the talking. Note: Some pictures are disturbing.
First person to strip, Anthony! Second, Kristen! And again, bottom's out! Don't worry, he had his undies on. Next up, bottom's off for her! Yes, Kristen 'it's exhausting being fabulous!' Then, came Joo. Note: He striped his pants before the game even started. I guess he wanted to strip badly. Hence, he suggested the game. The game ended with 3 very half naked people on the beach! And yes...you wonder where am I? I AM THE WINNER! My clothes were on the entire time. The only things that were striped off were my ring and bracelet. I had a good laugh! After a mild wild game of strip poker. We changed it to DARE POKER. Loser has to perform a dare given by the winner. Clearly, the 3 of them were waiting for me to lose in hope to dare me to strip. And I have to admit...they succeeded!
No difference. I still stripped in the end. Sigh! We played till the sun came up. After that, we just relaxed. Listened to the beautiful sound of the waves. Enjoyed the random moment. Tasted the salty air. The girls talked. As for the boys, one slept. One walked. By 9am, our stomachs were demanding for food. We decided to leave the beach. Packed our stuff and headed to the car. The initial plan was to eat at Port Dickson and head home. But guess what? We ended up in Malacca an hour later! We thought, since the trip was random and crazy, we might as well go all out for it.
What's more? We generously went to pick another friend up from MFA. Nicholas. And he took us to eat the famous 'chicken rice ball' in Malacca town.
After lunch, we called it a day and FINALLY, decided to go home. Home sweet home - Subang Jaya! Come to think of it, I felt that this random trip was much needed. It's been too long since I've done crazy things like this. It was exhausting but somehow, I loved it! Nothing beats being in 3 states within 13 hours.
