4BIA

Khai and I watched 4BIA yesterday with my two free GV tickets. Hehe. It's fucking scary, is what it is. The first story consists of one word of spoken dialogue, and it will make you never want to respond to unknown numbers messaging you, "Hi boleh berkenalan?" again. The second one was just plain gory. The third one is hilarious. Like, really funny jokes and stuff. Consists of four cute Thai guys. But in the midst of the hilarity, it's super scary.

By the third one, I was closing my eyes except for daytime scenes, or to read the subtitles.

Also, I finally found Victoria Jomo and I got an adorable necklace featuring a guy riding a bike with a sidecar. Too cute! I wanted to get the lunchbox but I couldn't afford it, sedih.

I'm a bitch

Today was my second and final visit to CBTL for at least a month, since Ramadhan is fast approaching. I had a Banana Chocolate Ice Blended this time, but I prefer Malibu Dream any day. It was an even more gorgeous day than the last one, and I finished my book all too soon. I lingered for a while, starting the book from the top, but then this matrip-minahrep couple came along, sat at the other end, and started smoking. I turned to glare at them and the minah glared right back at me. So I got annoyed [and infinitesimally afraid], packed up, and left, but not without informing the barista that "there's a couple outside smoking".

Obviously, having been in the same position before, I know that whatever I said might not have had any effect at all. But it's nice to know I tried.

I told Dayah this little anecdote when I met her later, and she exclaimed without preamble, "You're a bitch!"

Haha. And proud of it, babe.

Fuel prices drop!

I'm so happy, 98 is back to less than two bucks a litre! I've giddily skipped back to 98, and to celebrate, I bought one of those adorable Coca-Cola miniature collectibles. Hehe! It's too cute! I had to get it.

I am, by the way, exhausted beyond belief. It was a slow day at work, but I guess the pressure of being there to guide all the attachment partners got to me. I kinda scampered around doing everything, afraid to tell them what to do, and afraid they'd do it wrong. And maybe the all-day-rain made my tulang reput or something.

YZ gave me short shifts for the rest of the week. There's no way I'll be able to match last month's pay now. =(

Remember Me?

I finally got a chance to pop over to CBTL-DTE for some luxurious reading time. I bought Remember Me? the other day and I haven't allowed myself to read it since, cos I was saving it for CBTL. Lame, I know, but it's a different experience reading it under the sun with a Malibu Dream next to you, as opposed to on your messy bed in your cramped room.

Well, it was my first time, and let me tell you, it was great. It's a nice view, plus it was a beautiful day, so I just sat in a corner and got lost in Lexi Smart's life. Reading: the original hobby.

I haven't finished the book yet, because Khai showed up, but it's cool, I'll save it for my next session. Yey!

Baju Raya!!!

Khai and I went to Geylang today. To hunt a baju raya for me. My mom told me to get a ready-made, but no First Lady for me, thanks. I didn't even step into that overhyped place. [I did love First Lady once. But it's become too common, I guess.] We went to the second floor and walked around.

There was this late-twenties mat who was with his family at one of the shops and he just kept staring at Khai and I as we walked past. Khai was all ready to beat him up. BOYS.

Anyways.

I actually made my rounds twice. Tried on this lace-kimono-cut thing which cost $200 and made me look fatter than I really am. SAD. So I went back to Yasmin and got myself fitted for a baju kurung for one dollar less. Hehe. That's actually $49 more than the amount my mom allocated to me. PLUS, it's not ready-made, haha. But it's exciting, it's modest, and I hope it turns out great.

The lady asked me if I was making the baju alone, i.e. wasn't Khai getting one too? But Khai will be spending most of Syawal in Australia, AGAIN. So we won't get to spend Raya together, AGAIN. So, no point getting matching outfits.

However, we do have outfits that happen to match, so I'm trying to convince him to go out with me for a couple of hours, pretend we're going jalan raya, but actually not. Haha. Yes aku giler I know.

We had lunch at Delifrance BV, because we just HAD to get out of the infested place that was Geylang Serai, and then dessert at Ice Cream Chefs, finally! It's such a nice, cosy place. Loves it! We are so going back, espesh since we now know they have free private parking.

And I just got back from Shafa's place, MAN is it far away or what? But it was a nice looooooooooong ride back la. I just forgot how far away that part of Singapore is. My right foot almost got semut-semut due to lack of movement for so long. Clear roads all the way back home. Gorgeous.

DblO

Yesterday I borrowed the car again and we hit DblO. Haha. It was my third consecutive week, how embarrassing, I hope the bouncers don't remember me or anything like that.

We = Khai, Shafa, Fir, An, Gegerl, Arep, and two of An's friends from CD or whatever.

Yes I still don't know his girlfriend's name.

Bumped into Zeek outside. Hehe. Apparently he told Shafa he prefers to be called "Zali". Well, remind me to ask Nat his real name.

It was fun, but some of us were tired, and somehow, last night was more crowded than usual. And the guys outnumbered the girls by so many! Incredible.

We were gonna go for supper, but no one was hungry cos we'd drunk so many Big Gulps. So we sent Shafa and Fir home.

Loves having the car, but it's so leceh parking and stuff.

Updates!

It's been a great weekend cos my pay was more than expected. Insya-Allah I'll be able to pay off next year's insurance, inspection and road tax comfortably.

In the meantime, I got Sophie Kinsella's latest, plus a new pair of jellies from River Island, plus four new Topshop undies yey!

We've been eating lots, too. Delifrance at Bugis Village is a really nice place.

I was looking for Peepshow at HMV but I didn't find it. Well, maybe it'll be at the Heeren one. Next month.

Matrip.

Busy busy busy bee.

I've been working almost every day except weekends, and it's been fun.
