i'm ever so tired.

after a very nervous morning and afternoon, i actually passed my BTT! yay. thanks God. [in other words, Syukur Alhamdulillah.] so i think my first practical's this monday. yepp.

met up with filza in the evening. it's been so bloody long i can't believe i let so much time go by without meeting up. and incidentally, her dad knows loner guy's dad. as in, good friends. how unfair is that? i nearly died when she smsed me, "do u know this guy who lives near pasir ris pri, rides a bike, dad's name is m****** and is in chem yr 1?" haha. anyway i couldn't resist, i just HAD to shop. i bought a scarf frm forever 21 and 2 of those plain tops from topshop. i decided that since i always wear the ones i already have, i might as well add to the collection so i'd have more of the same tops to rotate. haha.

well it doesn't sound like much, but i had fun. =D

i was so malas to blog yesterday. so here i am now.

aku malas nak kasi details, although i'd say that it went great. he's adorable, really nice [but comments on cute guys abit too much for my liking], the food was good, and the movie [Just Like Heaven] was really sweet. and yes he like paid for everything [except my shopping], despite my violent protests. [well, i maintain that it wasn't a date.]

i saw dil and chuckie [a.k.a. matair asilah] at HMV. is chuckie working there? cool. and dil is still hot, and there was another cute guy there. mannn now i wanna work there. haha. i bought 4 movies--Troy, Shall We Dance?, The Wedding Planner and Deal With It, which, incidentally, is the only one i haven't watched before--and the cute rafi guy rang them up for me. woohoo! haha. and maybe now he knows my name, cos i was using my master.

anyways after that we walked all the way down to dhoby ghaut. lovely lights, especially outside the istana. i like the whole blue-purple stars theme. lovelylovely.

yesyes then we went home, but he kept saying sorry cos he felt bad for going home early. haha.

since ahmad is such a terrible photographer, i can't post the pics of the pizza hut celebration. haha. so kat atas tu is a scene from Bring It On, one of my all-time favourite movies, and the one i watched tonight.

so anyway i had fun. i'm just gonna skip the calculus part cos it was just horrible la. no other word for it.

we went to the marina pizza hut [newly opened, it's lovely and cosy with great decor, especially now it's christmas and everything], and we had [for archive's sakes] the large stuffed crust supreme splitzza, garlic bread, baked beefballs in Alfredo sauce and--my personal favourite--10 pcs honey-roasted wings. mannn. sedap giler bodoh! everything, everything, everything was yummy. the last two items are obviously new additions. and both rockkkk. the beefballs were extremely erm, beefy, and the wings were wowwww. i swear, it was just the perfect christmassy taste. i knocked back at least three.

of course, what's a great restaurant experience without cute help? there was this really cute guy with a universally baik-yet-slightly-handsome face. and he had such a nice smile. sighhh. i tried countless times to look at his name, and just as i'd convinced ahmad to try and look at it for me, he [the guy] came forward to clear the table. woohoo! aku pon aper lagi, berharirayelah. oh and his name? well let's just say tt when i finally saw it, i commented, "wow it goes with the season!" haha. it's okay. only orang high-class will get the joke. =D ooh

after tt, kiter sempat gi swensen's for dessert. i was gonna have the MAF i've been craving for about a month, but the marina one has yogen fruz [yogen'a love it!] so i got that instead. yum, and according to ahmad, "step healthy to make up for what u ate at pizza hut." kurang asam. dahlah amek gambar blur. hotak dier ah. [i hope you're reading this!!! haha.] and of cos, by some stroke of luck, MDM was working. oh he's ever so handsome, even amy agrees. i GOTTA marry someone like that.

and then it was another nice walk home from the mrt for me. i hope i can make it a habit.

so in addition to the islam paper being objectively difficult today, i TOTALLY and UTTERLY could NOT concentrate.

but in the morning i got a good-luck sms from drivingchef, followed by an entire train ride with double decaf, whose real name is REALLY cool! haha. but of cos, privacy reasons, takleh letak kat sini. i attempted to follow him to LT8, but the idiot gi jalan blakang aku at first, so aku terkial2, so in the end i had to kol ahmad and wail at him for directions. haha. but i spotted double decaf going into the gents, so maybe it was a good thing i didn't follow him after all. hahaha.

and then of course, in the LT, pasta sat next to me. on my left, to be precise. and to make matters worse, he's kidal, so we were kinda aligned towards each other. AND he was so cute, he put on a white cap to keep his floppy hair off his face. i must have done that lean-back-and-pretend-to-think-but-actually-checking-him-out move like a billion and one times. mannn. he's just so fugly but totally redeemed by his pillar bod and blonde hair! sigh. of course, in 2 hours the exam was over and that was the last i ever saw of him. [cheyy dramatic sial.]

reached pasir ris without much happening, except for this vik with the SLEAZIEST eyes sitting next to me [actually, i sat next to him first, but HEY i was tired!], and this literally fat guy who was so fat, i wanted to move to the vik's lap, and when we reached pasir ris i practically ran out of the train. then i visited shasha for awhile, and walked home again. seriously. walking home's such fun. this time there was a red rhino full of my fireman mats, woohoo! totally hot.

then i reached home and unwrapped my new hooksonyou earrings [which came by registered mail yest but we weren't home so my mom collected them from the post office tadi]. i got two pairs--yummy-looking cherry pies, and dangly red ones. yay. i SO can't wait to show them off. prolly on monday.

i watched she's all that for the 62853rd time just now. rachael leigh cook is so exquisitely pretty. and freddie's just very hot in the movie. AND paul walker's in it too! and i love the scene where they dance by the pool. tres romantic. and very picturesque.

somehow i'm in an incurable movie mood these days. so. wonder what i'll watch tmr.. haha.

hi i've missed u. and by "u", i mean my blog. haha.

just wanted to drop u a line in the midst of stressing out over my remaining 2 papers.

drivingchef has been keeping up with those mixed signals, congrats to him. i walked home from the mrt yesterday cos of the lovely weather and my shitty food security paper--which i "finished" 45 minutes ahead of time. dropped by swensen's first, but as usual, i didn't manage to cross paths with bun. i guess it's a sign. too bad, cos he was actually the first nice guy i've liked since the beginning of the year. oh speaking of bun, i realised yesterday [while staring at loner guy for the last hour of CM1111] that loner guy reminds me of bun, ALOT. those thick eyebrows. the build. the hair! so cute! but he's just lacking in bun's lips. that's about it. okay sorry for talking about the lips. amy'll prolly have loads of stupid [not to mention dirty] things to say about that.

i kinda can't wait for tuesday, but i'm kinda dreading it too. but that's only normal right? and he IS a nice guy right? i've had enough of all these other guys [i.e. mats] who don't really like the me inside. not that he likes me, of course. haha.

in keeping up with the random-thoughts theme of this entry, i think lydia looks great. if i'd just come back after a multiple-month stint in perth, i'd prolly be half-bald from tearing patches of my hair out in the process of dealing with the man they call my uncle.

yep that was fun. time to hit the sack.

heyyyyyyy

okay, the past 24 hours have been surreal. there's just no other word for it.

i spent like, almost 12 hours at the airport mugging away. it was horrible. i hate mugging. [saper suker eh?] but it's like worse alone. haha. but. butbutbut. okay dengar betul2. i finally went home at like 8-ish, i took 53 cam biaser and everything. i was looking all slenger and oily and fat, i mean, WHO looks good after a day of mugging? but as the bus approached the T2 checkpoint, aku masuk angin aper entah, and i rebanged my hair and rearranged it in a less slenger way lah. you know, just in case the checkpoint police guy was hot [i.e. samit, or those yg sewaktu dengannya]. okay, so he entered the bus. but my view was blocked for the entire first half of his walk, by the stupid EZlink card reader. and then as he passed me, i nearly died! i'd know tt face anywhere! it was--[no not samit] HAFIZ AS'ARI!!! i DIED. i swear. ohmannn. he's so cool! i had half a mind to shout, "hafiz!!!" but i didn't. i know he wants to meet his fans and all that, tapi what if i embarrassed him, or myself [in the likely case dier buat bodoh ke..]? so aku diam je. but when he was positioned outside the bus, i turned and stared [at his nametag, just to make sure]. ohman. he's so cool. and u know the thing about "celebrities" is, you support them even more once you've met them, pasal now they've somehow been humanised or smthg. anyway. it was cool. i hope i'll bump into him again in a less scrutinisable context, so tt i can actually say hi. but you know. i prolly WON'T be so lucky again. and it took every last ounce of self-restraint i possessed, and then some, to keep myself from dancing away in the aisle.

yeah. so that was the airport thing.

last night was a whole different story. it involved loads of crying over movies and then some scary questions, answers and statements from drivingchef, which culminated in HIS ASKING FOR MY NUMBER!!! woohoo!

and i spent the better part of the day smsing him. ahhhh..

oh and sorry for the long hafiz as'ari paragraph.

"The odd thing about this form of communication is, that you�re more likely to talk about nothing rather than something but I just wanna say, that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many.. somethings. So thanks." -Kathleen Kelly, You've Got Mail

Wow. Amazing. I actually got through CM1101. Haha. Banyak calculations la, tt�s why. I mean yeah, I forgot like half the formulas, but at least I didn�t feel like crying after the paper.

Afterwards, me and Nat were just like, eh nak terkencing, but the toilets are all full, so let�s go to YIH. But then Nat was like, why don�t we go mac�s skali? And I was like, Nat don�t tempt me! But you know me. In the end kiter pergi jugak. Hahaha. Had my usual and everything, it was great, and then in the train home ader jugak cute guys yang aku dapat tgk. Haha.

Nat�s right, the weather�s really great today. It�s been cool all the way till now. Very very nice. I should have just walked home from the interchange. Tapi aku bodoh. Takper I�ll try it on Friday after Islam.

When I got home, guess what I did? I turned on my D, switched off the lights, and watched the 7936492nd screening of You�ve Got Mail. Melalaked as usual, round bout the time she saw herself twirling in the shop, and when Joe Fox asked her, "If I hadn�t been Fox Books, and you hadn�t been The Shop Around the Corner.. And you and I had just met.. [pause] I would have asked for your number.. And I wouldn�t have been able to wait 24 hours before calling you up and saying, how bout coffee.. or dinner.. or a movie? ..For as long as we both shall live."



And of course, the final scene. Ah. How I love that movie.

woohoo. so suff's open house was a blast, rupernyer, despite the gaping hole that was the absence of his bctc friends. haha.

in the 39 to yishun this group of YP mats was on the bus with me. one of the cuter ones sat next to me, and he said to his friend, "eh amek gambar, amek gambar!" i tried my best to pretend i was pekak [listening to mp3s], but i wanted to laugh really. but 30 seconds later he added, "amek aku soranglah.." yarrite, YP mat. ohwell. he would have been irresistible had he not been smelling of fags. i mean, he was wearing capals! i lurve capals. and all of them were wearing capals, i think.

i am in love with suff's littlest brother, aidil. he's so adorable with that mangkuk hair and big eyes and takder gigi.. and i was telling amy and baba that THAT is what ishmael is gonna look like, insya-Allah. so, i continued, i better not marry anyone with curly hair. recessive genes, y'know. haha. or whatever.



ooh we watched the butterfly effect partway and it is SO freaky in a non-hantu way. kesian aku nyer ashton. i ate so much, pon maseh sempat gi swensen's for dessert after tt, where this poser CSR commented directly to me, "cantik bunga!" eeee. kalau kau poser, jgn cakap ngan akulah.

anyways. bottomline is, i had fun, so thanks to everyone for making me feel non-intruding. yay.


me posing with the ayams. yummm.


my ex-friends languishing in "jail".


group pic!

thanks baba. it's completely untrue though. okay not COMPLETELY. but about 50% is merepek. when, for example, did i have an interest in politics?

The other night they were playing our song
Hadn't heard it for oh so long
Took me back darlin' to that time in my car
When you cried all night cause we'd gone too far

Can I ever getcha back
Getcha back baby
Gonna getcha back getcha back
Getcha back getcha back baby
Gonna getcha back getcha back
Can I ever getcha back

I'm getting tired laying around here at night
Thinkin' bout some other guy holding you tight
He may have money and a brand new car
May even treat you like a movie star
And no matter what he ever do for you
He can never love you like I can do
So if I leave her and you leave him

Can we ever get it back again
Getcha back getcha back baby
Gonna getcha back getcha back
Getcha back getcha back baby
Gonna getcha back getcha back
Can I ever getcha back

Bow bow bow oop

Bow bow bow oop

(Getcha back) I'll leave her
(Getcha back) and you leave him
(Getcha back) can we make it
(Getcha back) get it back again

(Getcha back) I'll leave her
(Getcha back) and you leave him
(Getcha back) can we make it
(Getcha back) get it back again

(Getcha back) I'll leave her
(Getcha back) and you leave him -Beach Boys

i totally didn't do anything today. i mean, i'm not gonna call 4 hours busing and mrting and walking over the island, eating a grand total of 6 roti kirais over the course of the day, and watching herbie: fully loaded--actually doing anything.

i never have very much to blog about anymore. how sad. maybe it'll be better after the exams.

i'm SO hungry. i blame ahmad and dazril for sitting next to me, and for not tambahing so i couldn't tambah without looking greedy either. it's one thing to tambah food infront of girls [i.e. rgs jalan raya sec 4], but it's a whole other issue tambahing infront of guys.

hate guys.

what a lie.

anyway i had a great time at casa amy, with her entire family, shah, atikk, ahmad and daz. we should SO do it again.

and thanks to lina for taking the camwhore pics of me and atikk on the windowseat. haha.

i'm so sleepy. and drivingchef da tido, so yeah i'm gonna sleep right after this.

last night was Operation H*****. it was so crazy and nerve-wracking, for both of us. although i played more of a passive role, it was MY reputation on the line there! one slip of the finger and i'd have lost my drivingchef forever. so i was just like panicking at every little thing baba updated me on. well. to make a long and painful story short, it seems successful so far. but we'll see how it goes yes? i have half a mind to back out anyway.

this morning i was running a little late. u know, the rain and all. i even decided to skip breakfast so i cld get 15 extra minutes of sleep. i didn't sleep well la, with the loud guruhs and drivingchef nightmares and all. so anyway, i'd actually missed the samit bus, so i didn't think i was gonna see him, but hey. when i got on the bus, there he was!!! ahh samit. you rock. with your longgar police pants and handsome-nak-bunuh-diri face.

when i got there, i was just settling down and everything when this manjen guy came with a copy of the straits times and put his stuff down and i almost died cos it was STUDY BUDDY! ah he's still as adorable, but less slengerly so. and i think he remembers me! =D yey.

and then, at like 8-ish, this talldarkhandsome guy in a cool black shirt with sinewy arms showing, cool broken-into jeans, black crumpler bag and handphone pouch and laptop, walked past. and i went into a pseudo-seizure, prodded baba roughly and hissed, "KASHBIR!!!" totally. the last person i expected to see. omg. he's just so incredibly hot. who'd have thought i'd get to see both of them in the same day? i'm just so incredibly lucky.

dahlah aku ngantok. despite all the cool sightings niari, the studying wasn't that great. and there's more to come tmr. argh.

you can always tell when it's exam time. my bed gets doubly messy. it's so funny. books here, notes there, loose papers and pens all over. have fun ain.

watched the goblet of fire today. yes today. cool huh? at century cineplex. it's quite good, i suppose. i can't give an objective opinion la, pasal i hate the new dumbledore STILL, and the deviations from the book really get to me. so yeah. but cedric IS SO HOTTT. kill me now!!! haha. and krum is endlessly sweet, despite looking abit too tua for his character. ohwells. can't have everything, can we?

we saw MDM at the airport bus terminal. looking as good as ever. i HAVE to marry someone like that.

and this was in one of my notebooks tt i recently rediscovered. i posted it before, i think. but i really like the simplicity of it. and the stupid drawings i made alongside it in my notebook. it's not another funny merepek poem though. just merepek.

me & you
in bright blue hues
under the same colour sky
and if it ever
starts to rain
i'll never say goodbye
now we're wearing
yellow raincoats
and together we brave the downpour
my straggly hair
hangs over my face
yet you move close to me all the more
me and you
we're sitting down
your arm encircled round me
we've been through many
kinds of weather
but we stay forever happy. -230402-

Me and my bag
take up the whole aisle
We stand together
for a really long while.

And sometimes when space
is especially tight,
Some assholes [how dare they?]
will try to alight.

They ruthlessly try to
claw past us
For fear of being
trapped in the bus.

So the nametag's screwed
And my energy's spent
But my bag's intact,
not a sign of a dent.

Sometimes these assholes
will make me lose balance
But inside, we just pray
that they get their comeuppance.

At this point I conclude
That the universe sucks
And my life on this planet--
It's not worth 2 bucks.

But then a lim
will look my way
My bag stays silent
but I think, "Hurray!"

Turbulent weather
And human walls
Bugis to Boon Lay
We've been through it all.

Me and my bag
we stand as one
We look good together
Who can beat us?--none.

i think i wrote that back in sec 3, about my huge blue haversack. found it while rummaging through piles of dusty books and notes, trying to find my chem stuffs from yesteryear. haha.

had fun studying today, back at my old spot. and i finally saw samit, after about 10 months. i'm serious. NOT exaggerating. and he saw me. and well he looks the same as ever, effortlessly handsome and endlessly cool.

tadi macam bynk nak blog, skarang dah luper segala2nya. ohwells. hope u enjoyed the poem. it's written in my characteristic merepek style. oh and i found a rangkap of malay poem i wrote in answer to ahmad fathi's pantun greeting on msn, about 3 years ago. haha. memories can be so fun.

I actually had a good, less-than-boring day today. Haha. Woke up late as usual, although I mysteriously tersedared at 830 in the morning, despite having slept at about 3. anyway, out of some kegilaan of mine, I decided to follow my parents to jalan raya today. Haha. Don�t ask why. Okay fine, it was cos when I asked my mom, "mummy nak gi maner?" and she replied, "gi rumah kakak mummy kat bendeemer," I immediately thought of the makcik with the four mat sons. But when my mom sed, "asal, nak ikut?" I just gave a non-commital "belum mandi ah" in reply, cos aku takot dier tahu my true agenda. Haha. But about 30 seconds after that I went to mandi, hoping she�d get the subtle hint. Thankfully, she DID wait for me and I siaped in about 15 minutes flat, which is a real achievement for me.

Okay, for the record, it WASN�T that makcik�s house. BUT. She WAS there! With one of her cute sons. I nearly died. His name�s Azhar, or something similar. But I can�t figure out if he was the one who said bye to us. Well but the point is, tak sia-sia aku pergi. Haha. And the mother was telling us that her youngest son was asking about me and my sister. And how he asked her, "mama, itu adik mama [referring to my mom] betul-betul ke olok-olok?" Cute. I suppose he was checking on marriage legality issues or something. Haha.

Well we went to another house after that, then I went to shasha�s house! Wow. Cool. It was me and shima and imah at first, then the two left, and I hung around for awhile, before nan and umar finally showed up. It was really fun, we ate and had free maltesers and fruit cocktail, watched movies AND sang karaoke. Ahh I so did not regret going. Fun fun funnn.

And if you�re wondering why this looks different from my normal posts, it�s cos I�m typing with Microsoft word first, so they autocorrect all my small caps and stuff.

This always happens. Just as I reach the end of my rope with him [or whatever that saying is], he does something and manages to extricate himself out from the depths of my wrath. And for the first time I was talking to him on the phone while chatting to SOMEONE ELSE online! It felt so weird and guilt-inspiring.

Yeah well anyway I had an okay day today. Went to ssdc again, once again beribu mat motors. And while I was walking back to yck mrt, I stood there waiting to cross the road. But oh my God, what timing! A whole line of class 2 students was cruising past on their way back. I nearly died of embarrassment and awkwardness. [Kadang2 kalau banyak sangat, susah nak tengok.] But I spotted a few cute ones la. Ironic thing was, the one who macam, smiled at me, was the instructor at the tail end. Ya Allah. Buat malu je sey.

You know what I love? Guys who love babies/kids. No I�m serious. It really gives them a human touch. It shows a whole new side to them, and they have THAT much more depth. To me anyway. Like, even if he�s the nerdiest-looking guy on the planet, or the most gangsterish, the fact that they like kids kinda redeems them. Haha.

it's been too long.

the 72947294 hours i wasn't blogging, i was busy sleeping [never got enough] and going crazy over chem test and the islam essay. yeah. man it was horrible. next sem [if there IS a next sem for me], i'll make sure this doesn't happen again.

driving chef's been great. so supportive and patient and well he's just incredibly sweet.

sigh.

on monday i was going to ssdc and this mrt man [i.e. smrt officer] stopped me after i passed thru the barrier at khatib, and asked to see my card. heLLO, pakcik! okay maybe those blonde streaks make me look like a minah who's too stupid to be studying at tertiary level, whether it be poly or uni. but STILL. don't make it so obvious la. i guess he's just bored pasal those terrorists were foiled before they could bomb neighbouring yishun mrt.

i lurve the ite mats at ssdc. yey.

okay and btw, abovementioned blonde streaks are now all but gone. cos i went to see jack on monday and i got my roots done, and the streaks have been muted by the new brown colour. it's still a love-hate thing though. i love the new colour, but i really miss some of the streaks. well. takpe. anyway nurul was the only one who noticed the new colour. and daz was the only one who noticed i cut my hair. woksss. well, jadilah.

anyway since i was finally freed today, i celebrated by going for ice-cream with my chem peeps. but it kinda expanded into this whole big lunch at sakura followed by ice-cream, with a bit of shopping in between. seriously. aku ngan shah have this becky bloomwood disease man. this time she got a really pretty turquoise-ish shrug with a satin ribbon, and beribu fabric bunga tudung pins. and *I* got a loner guy bag for like $25, AND 3 fake bunga hairpins. they didn't have a price display or anything, i got a shock when she rang up the total and it came to $11+. i had to use my NETS cos takder lagi duit!!! i'm a losaaa.

it's not a crime to go out on dates with different people at the same time right? i mean, as long as you're not dating them in the same instant.

i. am. so. senak.

had another of those rare hangout sessions with the brother and sister just now at the T2 fish & co. God. i adore fish & co. i could live there. and this time there was another cute bartender. all goateed and farhan-like hair and basically very hot. mim, of course. seriously. he was shit hot. i wanted to die. but he didn't serve us at all! yargh. imran the first cute bartender was working too. but he was in the kitchen for some odd reason. ohman i am so going back there, even though the service kinda sucked this time. i had my usual, plus some health-conscious tea, and a ben & jerry's sundae. ohman. camna tak gemuk gini? and yes they actually serve ben & jerry's. yummmm.

and then i came home and watched the rest of dil to pagal hai, which i've already watched before anyway, but just HAD to watch again. besok tak skl pe. hahaha. not that i've done any actual studying. takkan next sem nak amek 10 modules sak. arghhhhh.

drivingchefdrivingchefdrivingchef. kalau kau dah tido, SWITCH OFF YOUR LAPPY.

WOKAY i just got caught off-guard by a bunch of sadistic relatives. and i don't even know them!!!

i'd just reached home, and all that gedebak-gedebuk, and i was coming out of the toilet, all slenger-ish in my RED M&Ms BOXERS and ratty srjc netball tshirt dating back about a decade [i swear!]. my mom calls me, "ain!" and i look into the living room, and i realise that there's a whole freakin' family there, and i can see them, which means they can see me, and it's all just highly embarrassing cos i look so shitty and they're all baju-kurunged, and the worst part is... there are cute guys!!!

in fact, this family has like 4 sons and no daughters, it seems. and at least 2 out of the 4 sons are cute. and they all saw me in my slenger getup! i was SO mortified. my boxers!!! well luckily the mother came into the kitchen, so i was saved the agony of having to go right out and salam her. hahaha. anyway i went discreetly to my room, changed, and made an appearance again so tt my mom could intro me to the father. [pasal belum pernah jumpe kan.] and ALL the sons turned around to look at me. buat maluuuuuuu.

eh but seriously they're cute! a bunch of cute mats sitting in my living room!

anyway, photos. these two were taken yesterday. excuse my scruffy brother, i know he's nothing like atikk's brothers, Cutie and Jambang.




as you can tell, i'm taller than the people in the first row. haha. and i'm also the darkest. which explains why my mom keeps complaining when i go tanning.



this was what atikk's pathetic "wear-baju-kurung-day" attempts came to. haha. kat bawah are me and amy, and the photo in which atikk claims she looks like a gay. haha. forgive my bloated face, i was in bouts of laughter seeing atikk in baju kurung and stuff.




and that's fazli and me. bertembung on the way to the canteen, so i couldn't resist. he's so funnily cute.

i was gonna blog this morning before we left the house, but D kept hanging and stuff. so yeah. anyway let's get the necessaries out of the way.

selamat hari raya, maaf zahir dan batin to one and all. but i'm pretty sure i'll make those same mistakes again in the coming year. *does the amy face*

well as usual, i was friggin bored for the most part of the day. the route was
mak-->mak ngah-->nek hawa-->nek uteh-->nek andak-->sakura@eastpoint-->nek timah-->nek ngah.
haha. anyway biaserlah, tak bynk cute guys. in fact, practically non-existent. but at neks hawa/uteh there was this guy who macam, gave us [me/my sister] a hint of a smile. problem was, both of us were wondering if he was the bapak or the anak. then nek hawa gave him duit raya, at which point i muttered, "yesss the mystery is solved!" haha. ohwells. he's not tt cute lah, but he's a very nice abang and all that. so i tried to arrange my face into a more friendly expression. haha. and at nek andak's there was the same cute guy i saw last year. in black again, i think. but again, he's another of those guys who're supremely uninterested in me. haha. and there was this hot tall guy in the freshest, loveliest shade of green, with really cool stubble. but he kept hanging out in the room. ohwells.

yeah about the "sakura@eastpoint" part. my mom doesn't really like the seasonal lemakish food. so she just HAD to go have some clear fishball soup or whatever. haha. yep.

best part about the whole day was, we reached home at 920. that's gotta be a record or something. yeyyy.

when i left the house this morning [albeit a little late], i expected to come home with a pair of birkenstocks and a cute white billabong handbag. but i wasn't really looking forward to the shopping, cos going alone makes it an arduous task, while going with someone else makes it uber-fun. but anyways. i was in quite an agreeable mood this morning. and there was a semi-cute ite mat in the train. all the way to city hall. so that was good. he also looked familiar, but i couldn't place him for all the 12 stops.

by the time i reached skl, aku nak terkencing [as usual], and only shah was there. the idiot went and msged me on msn, and the alert sound reverberated the whole of the 6th level, buat malu sey. aku belom plug in earphones, relek babe! unfortunately since we BOTH had laptops, we wasted quite a bit of time interacting with each other. macam bisu gitu eh. boleh bebual tanak bebual, nak msn. a few hours later shah and me turned into shah, me, amy, their respective pasangans, and alfian, for a while. but it was fun. i even managed to finish practically all my readings. tapi in the end i didn't return the books pasal malas. [i DID attempt to upah al 5, then 10, dollars to return my books, but he didn't find the offer attractive enough.]

there were quite a number of GGMs. in chrono order, surfer 1 [the ONLY cool guy i saw at matric]--who studied alone, semangat sey!, bouncer--who has a gf i think, headphones/kasut guy [he scribbled "they're headphones dammit" on his cool sneakers], and surfer 2--who has a bike, yey. yup that was fun.

at first before 1 i guess there was no one online, but they started coming online at like 1-plus. so when a certain someone came online at 2, i abandoned all plans to go shopping and it was all amy could do to drag me away from my msn. :( haha. well, bad timing. aper nak buat kan. but i maintain that if she came back earlier from gallivanting with mubs, it could ALL have been avoided.

we bused to orchard, and split up there. i attacked the birkenstock shop right away. the nice rudy-looking guy helped me find a design that they actually had my size in, and i found out tt i'm a 40, not a 42! like i said to amy, "42 tu pantat aku gaknye." wahaha. yeah so my birks, lovely lovely lovely. nasib baik they didn't have the heidi klum range or i'd never have left the shop.



dropped by the crumpler shop [with the birkenstock shopping bag in prominent display so they'd think i was rich], where nothing really tickled my eyeballs except for the laptop cases. kiutttt. and we kept walking past fish & co, i nearly went in and ordered my usual seafood platter for two. hahaha.

there was a display of calendars outside borders, so we went back downstairs, where i had a hard time choosing between disney princesses and betty & veronica. serious it was a hard time. and the uber-hot, uber-cool, and suave-nak-mampos cashier, amir, didn't really help matters. haha. mannn he's seriously the personification of TallDarkHandsome. -mati- he seemed supremely uninterested in me, unsurprisingly. i'm sure he has his pick-and-choose of girls. oh right. the calendars. well i decided that my dislike of archie outweighs that of mulan, so...

yeah so after that we went back across the road, and into lido isetan where i showed amy the white billabong handbag. i was all set to buy it when she suggested we go look at the roxy bags at pacific. so we trooped back downstairs, into pacific plaza. besides cute green-guy-lookalike, i found the cutest clutch/handbag at ripcurl! and for only $29.90! [the billabong was a relatively-exorbitant $39.90.] so i was like, aaaarrgghhh and we decided to go have a gander at what roxy had to offer. WELL. at roxy i found the coolest, boldest fire-engine red handbag!!! it cost $46 originally, but they were giving 20% off. so i stood there, in the throes of indecision. [in the meantime, this manjen girl walks in with her boyfriend, and what is she wearing? the exact fuschia topshop sleeveless ribbed top! i nearly keeled over and died, and kind amy decided to abandon me by laughing away in the next aisle. i grabbed the red handbag and this furry black one and tried to hide my top behind it. luckily she left in a hurry. i guess dier pon perasan.] amy was salivating over this gorgeous brown button-down top, which looks boho and beachy and formal all at the same time. lovely price of 70 bucks too. haha. ok back to my dilemma. by this time i'd decided not to get the billabong. tak worth it. it was the most ex of the three anyway. finally amy volunteered that the roxy suited me better. so i was about to get the roxy when she said, "are you sure?" and that's when it hit me! a brainwave, i mean. i used the card for the roxy and we went back downstairs where i used cash for the ripcurl. kan senang.





yey. so i was happy. oh and i was waiting for the train at raffles place when this group of ite mats came by. and one of them was the same one i'd met in the morning! coolness. as in, what a coincidence. and in the train there was the cutest guy in a striped tshirt and jeans tucked into his adidas. cutenyer. and he kept sleeping. and he turns out to live 3 stops away from me. he was sleeping everywhere--in the train, the bus, agaknyer bus stop jugak. like i was telling shah this morning, i love guys who sleep. they look so innocent and vulnerable--no matter how setan they may be inside.

so. recap eh. i left the house expecting to come home with a pair of birks and a handbag, and i come home with



a pair of birks, TWO handbags AND a disney princesses calendar.
