My life hasn't been as boring as the lack of posts seems to suggest--I've just been malas to blog.

Yesterday night I went clubbing with Dayah, Az and Aliyah, and Dayah's friend, who was bringing a guy friend of hers. I nearly died when I realised it was Yazid. Haha.

We went to Attica, got bored with the crowd [well, some of us anyway] and switched to dbl o instead. Haha. WHERE someone pinched my arm within five seconds of entering the dancefloor, then I realised it was Naz! So cute la si giler tu.

Had fun and all, but I was missing my baby.


But Attica was a nice first. We had to wear the most adorable masks to get into Attica Too. And there was a singular cute guy. Tu je.

masquerade!

I was at the DBS autolobby at work today, doing some ATM tinkering, and there were these two really cute--for once!--[malay] CISCO dudes, just doing their thing. Omg and when one of them walked away for awhile, the taller one holding the bags stuffed with money looked right at me and smiled! I completely died and resurrected on the spot. SO HOT.




oooOOOooo and yesterday in company cab home, there was this cute guy from OF. All tall and dark and handsome, like that Borders guy. UNFORTCH, he didn't talk to me, although he did sit next to me [not having any other choice, obviously].

Well. Gots to go to sleep.

Today was cool cos I woke up at 6 p.m. when Dodol called. Haha. And we went to catch Eragon at TM, with dinner at SB-TM before that. Plus it was all his treat cos konon birthday aku, haha!

Loves hanging out with Dodol, he's really loads of fun.

Oh yes and I got my new phone, wahoo!




Sorry, been a long time since I blogged, so I'm still trying to get back into it.

190 on my baby.

Just imagine that.

I went out with Boy Riz yesterday night. I went to Lau Pa Sat, all by myself, and I didn't get lost, not once!

After that we went to Changi Village for nasi lemak, and I nearly died of boredom pasal dier bawak at 80 all the way. Haha. So when we reached Changi aku sound dier sikit ah. Oooh and I bumped into Wackygal there too! At long last we meet in person huh? So cool.

Sooo, lepas aku da sound him, from Changi to Cine, he went all the way up to 170 sial! Aku macam grabbed him so tight, dier pun terperanjat. Dier giler, I swear! We exited at Stevens Road, and at the red light infront of SJI there was macam a whole bunch of dak-dak motor. Maybe it was a good thing bukan aku yang bawak, cos then it'd attract a lot more attention. Scary.

Well, unfortch, the 430 show was sold out at Cine, so we went back downstairs and chilled kat SB-OB [?]. Which has a toilet! I didn't realise. Haha. Anyway we left at around six, and we went back by CTE, so on our way to Newton Circus, there was this other bike that step tanak kalah ngan kiter. But they went by PIE la, so when we saw them kat PIE later, wow abeh nak blow-blow!

So si Riz aper lagi kan, he perah giler babi ah! I was just macam dying behind. And it was already six, so there were more cars on the road and stuff. Abeh si giler ni, swerving and banking away. Mampos aku. Turned out the guys on the other bike were his friends. And they recognised him by his helmet, so that's why they were macam racing with us.

190! We were going at 190! I bet other road users were like, Kau si budak P-plate ni giler sak..

Just a quick one, because I really need to get a coupla hours sleep before I meet Hanom at noon later.

I'm sure we'll have loads to talk about, which is why I'm not giving it a miss, even though the timing's a bit unearthly for me.

My body clock is so out of whack. Balik pagi, tido LEPAS subuh, bangun lepas zuhur. Wonder what'll happen when school starts.




But really, I digress. I was at POS today [as usual], and being me, while serving the customer, I was also checking out the cute guys further down the line, and trying to speed up my transaction so that I can serve them in turn. Haha. So there was this particular cute guy I was checking out, but I was macam busy serving the customer before him. Then he caught my eye and smiled. And I realised that I know him! Well, actually, I only know him because he used to come by a lot and berasmaradana with his girlfriend, but they were always really friendly to me, especially him.

And even while I was serving the lady before him, he greeted me with, "Biler nak belanja air ni?"

OMG. Why did he say that?

Yeah it didn't end there. I told him, "Biler tak busy boleh belanja ah.." and he was like, "Ah, belanja lah.. Chocolate danish ke.." and gestured vaguely to the pastry case. He told me he works at Zara Vivo, oh and I did test him by sampuking, "Your girlfriend takder?" and he unabashedly replied, "Tak, dier kerja.." but continued being all whatever, asking me if I was working till closing, etc.

And I happened to be the one to hand off his drink, and he did that scrunchy-eyes thing at me!

Ya Allah. The thing that throws me is the fact that he was flirting with me at all. This was definitely our first real conversation, and First Real Conversations don't usually go like that. And you know, I'm cool. It would be perfectly cool and exciting if he were just another run-of-the-mill cute guy, but he's a guy with a girlfriend, so macam weird.

Well. Prolly the most interesting to happen today, so yes, I've been having a boring life.

I'm beginning to like doing closing. If you do it really quickly, you can sit around on the sofas and chill while waiting for the tak-guna cleaners to finish their work. I can't believe how bloody long they take. Seriously. If you take longer than I do, it means you're slow.

After work I sat around with Dean, while waiting for the cleaners and/or his cab. And I did so many useful stuffs! Rearranging the retail wall [slightly], rearranging the POS area, trying to convince him to get another chair for the back room, and talking to him bout lots of nonsense, one of which was the sexuality status of the partners. HAHA.

I like the feeling of not having to rush.

Today Rin slapped my butt for fun, and then decided that she loves it [my butt] and so now she squeezes it for hours at a time. [Okay, no, but for a really long time anyway.] Plus Dean started calling me "Duck", for reasons unknown to me, but which I suspect has something to do with aforementioned incident.

Oooh just now I was parking [very cautiously, as usual] at the open carpark at work. After that I was doing whatever merepek-meraban that I usually do after parking, and one of those annoying don't-worry-I'm-not-selling-anything[-but-actually-I-am] people datang menyebok. So by the time I shook him off and everything, I was slightly disoriented. Worse when a GSX-R came by and decided to park at the spot one bike next to mine. He kept looking at me, it was sooooo off-putting! So I quickly stuffed in my parking coupon and left. Five steps away, I realised I left my key in the ignition, BUAT MALU, so I had to go back and take it out, and he was still looking!

Embarrassed in front of a GSX-R!

I'm with Amy on the live performances thing.



She's amazing, she really is.
I think it's interesting how, even though I'm having a break from school, and my workplace is in the heart of town, and I have a bike, I still haven't gone clubbing. I swear MoS misses me.

But anyway, it doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything besides work. It does mean that when I have days off, I wander around the house feeling useless and bored, with a touch of moodiness. Until finally people decide to get off their butts and ask me out.

Today, however, after my initial phase of useless boredom, STILL no one asked me out, so I took Baby out after maghrib and went to store to pick Nat up. I feel bad pasal it seems like I'm always hogging Baby. And dah terlanjur kat situ, I could run a coupla errands--buy my brother's birthday present and get myself a calendar/book.

Went to Topman for the present, where I had a semi-hard time deciding between two really hot jackets. In the end I plumped for the black one. It is so hot, I swear. I'm really proud of myself for buying it, haha. And no, contrary to popular belief [*glares at Nat*], I'm not buying it so I can "borrow" it all the time. It really is for my brother.. But let's just say I'm living vicariously through him. If I can't have a boyfriend to buy Topman stuff for, then I guess buying it for my brother is the best I can get.

After that was Borders, where I wanted to get The Book of Fairytales but it was shittily only in hardcover, and I didn't have the thirty-five bucks required to get it, so I settled for Lolita instead. Actually there's a whole bunch of books I've been wanting to get, but you know, books cost so much these days, I really can't afford to get too many of them.

Weird, isn't it? They want us to read more, then why make books so expensive? The library only has that many books, you know.

I'm dying to plunge into my novel, but maybe I should save it for a good reading day, like Saturday. Oh, what to do, what to dooooo..




I parked at the [very slope-y] LT carpark today, and when I went back upstairs to go home, there was a bunch of mats gathered at the bikes about two bikes away from Baby. Obviously, when they spotted me, semua toleh tengok ah. But it was like so embarrassing, so I completely avoided looking in their direction at all. When I was kickstarting, semua tengok. Nasib baik I managed to get it first time. Embarrassing y'know. What if I dropped the bike or something? I'd never show my face in public again. Thankfully everything went smoothly, so I left promptly, and that was the end of that.

I had a near-accident while driving for the second time today. I hate not knowing how I'm going where I'm going, I guess. Makes it easier for me to panic. But anyway, I think my sister forgives me, Alhamdulillah, and she says I need more practice. Yup. So I still had to drive back from Lau Pa Sat.

Yeah but I suppose that was enough excitement for one day. The rest of it was spent sleeping and watching TV, as usual.

I'm sick.

Beginnings of a sore throat. Just as well I'm not going out, I guess. [Actually I'm just trying to console myself. So work with me here.]

Hehe just now after work, Nat and I were walking towards the Wheelock toilet, and I was still in dresscode, pulling on my white sleeves. And this mat who was walking past us apparently [because it was Nat, not me, who overheard him] said to his friend, "Aku suker pompan pakai gitu.." while looking straight at me! So I immediately concluded, "That means dier suker aku!" *kembanggg*

Haha.

Yea anyway after that we went to Topshop [albeit with a detour or two] for my birthday shopping spree. And to collect my beautiful brown pants. I tried on the party dress I was salivating over the other time, and it more or less fit, BUT I guess I'm too short, so it looks weird, PLUS the bodice part is weird and squashes my boobs. Takyah sua. Well. $199 saved.

I did, however, get a pair of grey shorts, two of the same back-slashed tshirts in different designs, a cute black shirt that I already have in purple, and a long-sleeved top/dress. After the birthday discount, it came up to $252.

Two hundred and fifty-two freaking dollars. Plus a bunch of points racked up on my FFF card, and the Christmas storedvalue card, and now I have fifty more free dollars to spend at Topshop [or Topman, or Dorothy Perkins, if you want to nitpick]. BY CHRISTMAS.

Or I could use those fifty bucks to contribute towards buying a hot shirt from Topman for my fictional boyfriend. Then I can start building up that collection of clothes for my fictional boyfriend, like I wanted to. Haha.

[Ow I banged my forehead against the fridge door just now and it hurts like balls! I swear the fridges at work hate me, they're always attacking me. Baik forehead, back, arm, front, and even the back of my head from when YZ accidentally shoved the fridge door closed into me.]

Can't find my camera, so no photos of the spoils. However, other photos..


Almost all the photos of me and Baby.


I had sooooo much fun on the 7th! LOVES the reindeer ears, and coincidentally, a hot guy working at Topshop was wearing the same thing! Clockwise from Nat would be Naz--most adorable manager ever--then Hafez--guess his age--and Ophe--fellow POS partner.


LOVE this photo. There's macam a halo of light around me. So cool kan? And that's me in my natural, unsmiling, muka-nak-tembak-orang element.

I'm so bored. Baru first day off. But when I work, I'm tired. Can't seem to strike a balance.

But proud of myself cos I've been a good girl the past week. Tuesday I went straight home after work cos I was so bloody tired. Wednesday I hung out at Changi Beach with Wai and Dino [who look much less weird than their names suggest]. Dah lama tak main buai! So fun! And yesterday I went to eat at Simpang with Muz and his very-caustic friend.

And oh God yesterday's Christmas Open House was SO BLOODY FUN!!! They assigned me to MBR, for some reason. Maybe they were worried I would berpeluh rabak in the other positions. Well, MBR was a blast. Ophe was at SBR so we were having a lot of fun giggling, running around in our antlers, and posing for photos.

Loves the antlers, they're macam so cute. And speaking of cute, no, there were no cute guys. Boring sey. I wonder where they all ran away to. But a couple of them came by after 7 la.

Ooooh and on Wednesday I had my first attachment. I went to Lido for like three hours. Haha nasib baik da kenal Rizal, else I'd be quite takut-takut. But omg it's macam so boringly un-busy at Lido! Which I still think is weird because I mean like, shouldn't we be getting the same kind of crowd? Or maybe people just don't like the takeaway type of service, and those who do don't feel like going up five storeys to get it.

But because it was unbusy, I got to CDR easily with people, when before aku macam malas. So I was like making four drinks for this lady, and while she waited I talked to her about her drinks, whipped cream, and how she's diabetic now so she can't have it anymore, her kids and how they love watching movies, and of course I told her about the open house.

And before she walked away she was like, "Oh by the way I didn't catch your name.." and I nearly died! So I told her, and she was like, "So if I go down to across the road you'll be there?" Wow. How fun. It's a nice warm feeling when people ask for your name.

It was supposed to be the greatest day of my life, the last day of exams.

After school we took the train back to Pasir Ris. The most adorable 2-year-old girl was in the train, chattering away in semi-baby-talk to her maid and her "jiejie"s [me and Nat]. Ahhhh.

*Tick-tick-tick*

Loves it when babies are not scared of me.

Anyways, went to TSP to get the rear brake fixed. Basically, they just changed the brake hose. From the pretty silver one to the stock black rubber one, boo. But Steven didn't charge us for it at all, how sweet. And best of all, the mechanic was SO CUTE LA!

I'm not kidding. When I started riding, cute mechanics didn't even cross my mind as a possibility. Least of all manjen mechanics with strong arms, soft brown hair, and the sweetest smile.

And no, it wasn't just me. Nat agreed that he's cute too! HAHA. Who knew that I could actually stop being shallow for one second and look past the dirt and grease and lack of communication?

Will definitely be looking out for that smile the next time I go back to TSP. Maybe I'll invent a new problem each month for him to deal with. Haha. Kidding.





Oh and by the way, no, it wasn't the greatest day of my life, the last day of exams.

Saturday, December 02, 2006

I went out again last night! Or this morning, if you prefer. I sat for like two hours outside Mac's, until Zack finally finished work.

Loves riding with Zack!






Anyway, it hit 1000! Time for mini-celebration, Hanom! *jumps around*

Friday, December 01, 2006

Heyness!

I just got home, haha. Went for a play, Jack and the Beansprout with my sister and her ELDDS charges. Haha. And Dodol, whom I invited at the last minute. It was fun! The play was hilarious. Very colourful and costumey with literal sets, cos it's targeted at kids. But banyak innuendos also lah, so it was funny to me too.

After the play, there was this girl who aleh-aleh wanted to take a photo with me. Before that she was macam smiling at me for some odd reason. Lepas tu, dah amek satu gambar tak cukup. She made Dodol take another one. Turns out she's adik Khairul. Haha. Although why she would need two photos with me is still beyond my comprehension.

Wow I really missed Dodol, he's so much fun la.

I had my first real drive just now. From Yuying to Simpang. And Dodol had the honour of being my shotgun passenger for my first drive! Haha. So weird, while my sister sat in the back. But it was fun. Couple of close shaves at Simpang though. Now I don't think I'll ever get the car unsupervised. Kalau riding boleh khayal sikit, kalau driving jangan harap ah. One glance at a cute mat and I go completely off course.

And yes, I'm a barefoot driver.

Simpang was great. A smattering of cute guys here and there. Loves my cute guys. Haha.
