Too sleepy to function

I'm soooo tired. I haven't had enough sleep for too many days, to function properly. Saturday I went to pick up Baby from Kelvin's, and then it was the Raffles Raya thingy at The Legends at Fort Canning, followed by Wan's old classmate's wedding dinner at the Shangri-La, which, by the way, rocks. I ADORE the toilets. ADORE. And the lovely jazz music floating down to the lobby. KILL ME NOW.

After that kita sempat watch a movie, at GV Gold Class at Great World. Max Payne. I fell asleep reluctantly, thanks to the comfy recliner and cosy blanket. HATED the movie, no offence. But loves the theatre. I should so totally watch the next Harry Potter there.

And yesterday after work I chaperoned Chris to some dude's house in Woodlands/Admiralty. I was so bored to death though. I understand if the dude tanak layan aku, since I'm just Christina's friend, but he hardly talked to her! He spent all his time watching TV, smoking, and/or playing guitar and singing in the darkened kitchen with the other guys. BO-RING. I nearly committed suicide. Tapi when we left, he was all messaging her, saying he wished she could stay. What the hell. Look dude, I understand if you're shy or whatever, and maybe you didn't want to make conversation with her in front of all your friends. BUT. You could have asked her outside, in the corridor, for a smoke, and talked then, in full privacy! Mengapa bodoh sangat? Chris, DUMP HIM!

We ditched Boring Dude for Danial, who was living in the same estate, coincidentally. He was with Rizal, who stays in Woodlands too. And yes, it turns out Danial was pissed drunk that night, he couldn't remember a single detail of our meeting that night. Rizal remembered though, so that's one for my credibility.

Okay, aku dah ngantuk giler bebeh, so nites!

I am a spoilt brat

I am a spoiled brat. I have been spoilt by Baby. I've owned private transportation for close to two years, so when that privilege was taken away from me, I simply refused to succumb to public transport! Today Mat very kindly gave me a lift to work, while Wan sent me home, HAHA.

Work was such a bitch today somehow. I think cos I was sleepy from last night. BAH. And tak cukup tido and everything. Eh but even though I pride myself on being independent, riding alone, and being responsible for my own life and stuff, it's fun to be the pillion sometimes. Espesh if you're on a big bike.

Wan's Z1000 is super-comfy. And I could lean over and read off the speedo anytime. 110, 120, 130.. Sejuk nak mampos, and my S-size helmet was rattling all over the place.

We watched HSM3 because Saw V wasn't available at a convenient time. Damn. But I think we should watch Saw V next time. Yey. Then he took me on a tour of the already-closed-for-the-night Dempsey Hill, and sent me home! Thanks Wan! Now I know why pillion girlfriends sometimes look so kerek even though they're not the ones riding the bike. HAHA.

Okay, it's another big day tomorrow. The days are just packed, as the Calvin & Hobbes comic goes.

Up to my old tricks again

Yesterday night I was bringing Baby down before closing when I realised the rear brake freeplay was waaaay too much. So I checked it, and guess what? The lever was disconnected from the brake pump! I nearly died of shock. I gave Mat a ring, and he came down, but there was nothing much he could do for me. So I have to get it towed later this morning.

Which, SO buang duit!

Well the point of that story is to say that I drove to the store meeting just now. Because once you get used to having private transportation, you just can't turn back. So I drove to LT, with minimal mishaps, Alhamdulillah. I only parked at spaces free of cars. HAHA.

And after the store meeting, Chris and I went to Double O! Yay! Thank God ada car cos anyway it was raining all night. Tak cool naik motor. Haha. It was okay inside, but pretty hot even though I wasn't wearing baju-baju panas. Less manjens than the last time though, nasib baik. There was that girl who stripped down to her bra again. Okay look, actually I don't have a problem with her lounging around in her lingerie. Even though badan dier tak perfect and whatever. It's just, number one, tak payah lah nak stare at semua orang macam kita ni buat salah, and kau sorang hebat in this world! And number two, make up your mind already! One moment your t-shirt's on, next moment it's off, and then it's on again. I mean, just make a choice, what's wrong with that? Nak bukak, bukak je lah, campak t-shirt tu dalam locker! Nanti sampai rumah boleh sarungkan balik. I don't have a problem with that. But her frequent Superman imitations is what annoys me la, basically.

Yup. That was one angsty paragraph right there.

Next, there was this guy, KIV-cute [KIV cos it was dark, of course, and I didn't wanna make any hasty conclusions], who really gave me the shock of my life when he put his hands around my waist--one on my stomach and one on my back--then maneuvered himself around me, stood facing me, gave me a Look I could only construe as weird, and walked away. Chris and I were both like, Giler ke lelaki ni? Later, he reappeared and "maneuvered" himself around Chris by poking her at the sides of her waist. So I decided it was time to take action. Kalau dier boleh raba-raba kita, kita boleh raba-raba dia balik. I said to Chris, "Okay next time he comes here, I'm gonna do this to him," and I demonstrated accordingly. And you know me. I didn't hesitate, when he came back, I just did it! Then I quickly signalled Chris to walk away, and I practically ran from there! BUT. The idiot macam grabbed my hand! And started dancing with me! So I humoured him for awhile. It was funny. Chris said his reaction was really funny. OMG. That was giler fun. Last time I did that.. Okay let's not go there.

After everything was over, baru I bumped into Ali. He was weird as usual. But it was fun. Ali left when I said I wasn't gonna send him home though. Haha. Then there was this semi-cute, but young, mat at the fountain who walked around with his t-shirt up, and who said bye to us before he left. When I drove out, Chris found him at the other fountain. So we stopped for awhile but guess what? He asked for a lift home! OMG. Kau tak that cute lah lelaki. Am I a taxi driver? Which was, by the way, the exact question I asked him. You can't use me like that, lelaki. I may be dumb sometimes but I'm not that dumb.

Yeah that was my night.

The meeting was fun, although kaki aku semut-semut right now. I'm so touched by the Christmas messages I got from Nat and Juju. I wasn't expecting either one, to be honest. But it's nice to know that although Nat and I don't hang out together much anymore, we can still click like old times.

Dah, saya ngantuk, nights!

Are you a true friend or not?

YESSSS!!! I can blog here once more! Freedom is mine, my friends. And nothing will take it away from me again.

Last night Hanom, Atikk and I popped over to Dayah's for a Raya visit. Atikk drove. Totally fun, cos we spent most of the time laughing at Sofaz fans who were watching their televised performance or whatever. Later I went KTV-ing AGAIN with Wan and Yazid. Totally fun, as usual. Yazid is so generous, he always pays. But that is NOT why I always hang out with them, thanks.

It's so funny how people can change.

Hey, pop quiz: Would you make friends with someone who actually used one of your close friends as a sex object? Well, personally, I wouldn't. But you know, it's a personal choice. Maybe it was just a normal friend who was used, so it doesn't matter, right? Maybe the friend was asking for it, so it's not that someone's fault, is it?

I've been surrounding myself with friends these few days, the same way I surrounded myself with friends last year. And on Friday night I channelled Tasha, and chatted up this "cute" customer at the Esprit steps, on Rose's behalf. With Christina's help, of course. It's been lots of fun, really.

Juju got a KR! He gave me a ring yesterday when he couldn't start his bike. It's black with red accents. Nice! We should totally take a photo soon, once I've washed Baby. HAHA. I'm so happy for him, and so glad I have a new KR friend.

Talking to Mat on the phone now. Dredging up the past is so painful, isn't it? That's why I usually blog about the good things, hardly the bad.

happy hallowe'en

Bye bye Studio 1!

  In 2018, I was heading to Zumba class when I saw "The Brass Barre" printed on the directory of the same building. Immediately in...
