WHEEEEEE!!!

Hello friends!

Today was the Career Workshop thingy-wingy. Guess who was there. Mr Lonerguy himself! So cute. But he didn't bother to catch up with us, ohwell. And I forgot what it was like to sit in during lectures, fighting the sleep from your eyes. NOW I remember.

In the middle of the workshop, I got a pleasant surprise when Cute Boy messaged. I jumped up and down [inwardly]. We exchanged messages for awhile, then he said, "K adios!" so I said take care and decided that was the end of our pow-wow for the day.

Nat rode us home, and back at the playground, I realised he messaged me again asking where I was. Another exchange followed, which resulted in him asking me to hang out at Tampines. And of course, why would I refuse?

I mandied and made up and applied body lotion and sprayed on perfume, pretended not to know where As-Salihin was when he called, which resulted in him offering to come meet me at my place. Heh. He showed up on the green M. SO ADORABLE.

Adorable when he was looking for parking spaces, adorable when he found one for himself and started looking for one for me, and adorable when he decided to share that parking space with me. I wish I'd taken a photo, but I didn't have the balls to.

Today he didn't wear a cap.
"Asal tak pakai cap?" -"Alah, malam-malam buat aper pakai cap?"
He was wearing the same shoes he wore the first time we met.
"Kata malam-malam tak pakai kasut?" -The most adorable smile in return.

We joined Rizal and um, Rudy, I think his name is. Cute Boy then proceeded to tell them about how we'd spent the entire day together yesterday. Within my listening range. So, you know, it prolly means that it didn't mean anything to him, therefore he doesn't like me?

They call me Ain Degil now.

Ooh and Cute Boy asked if we wanna go riding on National Day. I told them I don't have Baby on that day, and he was like, "Alah, ada dua 400, pilih je satu.." upon which I gave Rizal the sweetest smile I could muster, prompting him to exclaim, "Eh, asal kau tengok aku gitu? Jangan tengok aku gitu!" Haha.

After that, we went to Tampines Mall and met up with Azim. But you know, by then, all the shops were closed. Ohwell. Anyway, I committed a huge boo-boo when I stuck out a hand to keep Cute Boy from being run into by a car. BODOHNYER AKU!!! EVERYONE saw it!!!

I got them some free drinks at Starbucks, and felt another tersentak moment when he came in to.. Accompany me? Help me carry the three drinks? Amek aircon? Prevent me from flirting with other guys? [HAHA.]

Then Farhan joined us, but I didn't know it was Farhan, I thought it was just some random friend of theirs, so I pretty much died when he sat down, took off the shades/specs, and I found myself staring into what looked like Lonerguy. He's a dead ringer for Lonerguy, I swear. Except for the gigis. Haha.

I don't really have much to say around them, but I dunno. Still macam fun. Being with them and all. Except that I used to hate seeing satu-pompan-banyak-lelaki groups, and now I'm that girl I hate!

Excitingly enough, as we left [he carried my bag for me, but got embarrassed halfway and begged me to take it back], I bumped into Yan and Aisyah [what's her butch name again?] outside BK. Yan is so adorable with those cheeks la. Talked to them, because wow I really missed them, it transpires. Aisyah brought up the times of when she was still a girl and I couldn't stop laughing for nuts.

There was this beyond-surreal moment when we were lined up, the six of us, at the front of the red light.

It ended great, because when I got home, he messaged, saying that if I wanna join them on Thursday, I can just choose someone to give me a ride. So I replied, "Nak ikut! Pillion u ah!" OMG someone slap me, I'm such a shameless floozy.

I know. He might not like me the way I like him, of course. But who knew one person could get me smiling all day, every day?

Thank you Dayah for being the reason we met.

I'm back, and happier than ever.

Was at Hanom's for a pow-wow session with Atikk. Yoyo guest-starred, and please don't believe the photos because he's much cuter and cooler-looking in real life. Tak gunalah camera kau Hanom.

We exchanged stories. So diverse, and so interesting, all of them.

I was macam grinning to myself because I was thinking of Cute Boy. I had this wild idea that since we were practically in the same area of this island, and we had like 40-something clicks in the same direction to travel, that we could sort-of-kind-of head home together.

But I was afraid to pitch that wild idea to him, so Atikk volunteered. Well, I started spontaneously thrashing around on Hanom's bed, causing everyone in general to panic, and Atikk to barricade herself in the toilet with my phone, smsing him to meet me at Hanom's place so we could go home together.

I was ready to thank her for her initiative, when I realised that she added a muack-face at the end of the message! I DIED!!! And started thrashing around again! But OMG he replied [unleashing another series of fits from me], asking me to wait for him to get back to mainland. I died again, hugged Atikk, and we promptly fell on the bed together. BAD PHOTOGRAPH OPPORTUNITY.

The rest of the minutes involved me seriously doubting he'd turn up, but OMG, he did la. He was sitting at the void deck calmly smoking when we finally hauled our asses downstairs. And I don't know why, but the sight of his cikeding self with that cute face, just sitting there, made me tersentak for a moment.

I effected the necessary introductions, fretted inwardly that he might fall for Hanom, then went off to start the bike.

He's just too cute.

He remembered nonsense things that I said earlier today! [Something about how I like to dress up at night, i.e. no slippers.]

Peaceful ride; he said bye when we reached his exit, and sped off. I was basically smiling all the way back home. Thank GOD tak banyak vehicles on the road.

Best of all, there was a follow-up message. :D

Okay, I'm so sorry aku giler. I know there's no way in hell he could like me, because I'm who I am, and plus he's macam how old and I'm how old, and like, you know. Cute fun people who won't potentially turn psycho don't usually like me for myself.

But right here, right now, it's fun being out with him, and talking to him, or just messaging him.

So I'm trying not to think too much. Which is a little hard cos I always think too much.

Saturday, you couldn't come quickly enough!

Okay, I'm sorry, I had such a fantastic weekend, everyone has to know about it.

Well I didn't expect it to be a fantastic weekend, considering what happened on Friday night, but it WAS, okay? I prayed, and God provided.

I started the weekend late on Saturday, after maghrib. Brought a book just in case, and headed to store an hour early to meet Dayah. Sat around outside with a soy hot chocolate, until it was time to meet her. Berpusing-pusing awhile at City Hall area cos well, I didn't really know how to get to Esplanade from town.

She was with Mahmud and a few of his friends, AND Figa and some of his friends. I didn't recognise Figa, so I thought they were all in the same group, and I stupidly waited for Figa's group to move off, thereby embarrassing myself infront of [or rather, behind] the cute scrambler mat.

We went to Bedok, to meet more of Mahmud's friends, and the seven of us [or so] went to Changi for someone's BBQ pit. [Someone turned out to be this girl Nora and her dad, or something.] On the way, I wanted to isi minyak, but Dayah is Esso and I'm Shell, so I told them to go ahead and I'd catch them up or something. Dayah told M Dude to accompany me, so I zoomed off, expecting him to follow. When I turned around at a red light, it was Mahmud who was following me. *dies*

At Changi, I played on the swings, had fun, and waited for them to decide where to go next.

Un-understanding Dayah then wanted to call up Figa and meet him instead, while I tried to indicate to her with my eyes that I wanted to stay with Mahmud. She didn't get the hint, but relented anyway. So we followed them to Fort Road, where we met up with even more friends of theirs. So now I think there's at least eleven of us, I'm not sure.

Sat around for awhile, and then we headed for [final destination] Bukit Timah's Al-Ameen, detouring at the Kent Ridge bends. I tried my best to keep up, and was subsequently accused of being "degil" by Mahmud and Azim. How embarrassing. Previously only Mat accused me of being degil.

At Al-Ameen, Mahmud and Azim were picking on me half the time, while I tried to convince Rizal [on my other side] to give me a lift on his hot bike, and also to quit smoking around me.

Finally, rode home with half of them, and sat around talking at Esso for an hour with Dayah.

I've completely disregarded the part about the 100 missed calls.



Well I reached home slightly after subuh, and I decided to message Mahmud because he gave me a missed call for no apparent reason earlier. Somehow we made plans to meet up later that day [that's earlier today] to go to Ah Boy and buy stuff and get over to Dayah's place and cosmetically fix her bike [which he'd sat on last night, toppling it, and breaking a few appendages].

And somehow, after that we [minus Dayah] went for a late lunch. Met up with Azim, and went to Bugis just to walk around. And somehow I'm home, and it feels like Friday night never happened, and looking forward to this Saturday, when I'll get to see them again.

I've omitted most of the emotional bends I was going through, but just trust me when I say that ultimately, I feel terrific.

Woohoo yesterday was Dbl O. Last time I went there, we met Ninja. Haha. Anyway. We got there a little late, so macam tak puas when everything ended at 230. The customary long and suffocating queue for bags near the toilets, as usual. And I bumped into Shakilah from primary school. I can't believe she remembers me. Well, I'd rather her, than all the noisy screaming minahs and their boyfriends.

The music was great, although towards the end they played some stuff which I embarrassingly could not recognise. There was this manjen dude who spoke some malay and introed himself to us. Haha. TAK CUTE, and so glad he got the hint and moved away.

There were also these two malay dudes who were dancing next to us the whole time. Semi-cute, actually. One of them never stopped dancing. It was quite cute.

But yeah, that was it. When we left, I saw like a billion SOC dudes outside, along with the police bus or whatever, AND an ambulance parked outside with flashing lights. Along with the usual one or two patrol cars. SO EXCITING. You know me, as long as it doesn't involve me personally, I'll be fascinated for as long as you'll let me.

Dbl O has a smoking room, but I didn't dare venture inside, cos I was walking towards it, and I was like 50 metres away when I could already smell extra-concentrated cigarette smoke wafting out the cracks of the door. The room was packed with people cramped on the floor and every other available surface, actively destroying their lungs.

So they elected to smoke outside instead.

We tried finding another club that opened past three, that would let us in free, but well, takder. So we went home, after interacting with four mats, one of whom was riding a super four.

Ha. Yesterday was the first time I went clubbing since the glorious July 1 smoking ban. It's like wow, you step in, and everything smells SO good! It's great. My clothes smell great, my hair smells great, everything smells great and of course, the risk of my getting lung cancer isn't increased by any degree.

We went to Butter Factory, which was fun, if different. Then we tried going to MoS but even though it was hardly three, the awnings were down, so macam weird, so we went to Velvet Dragon instead.

Which looks--and feels--almost exactly the same as Momo. Except this time there were only about 50 people or less around. What happened to everyone else?!?!?! Well there was that cute guy from St. James, who tried to get off with Az. I see him everywhere, it's like a disease.

oooOOOooo and we made a stop by store first, and there was this cute guy walking to the carpark, and I couldn't help it, I smiled and him, and he smiled back! Lovesloves people who smile at me.

Finally. I've settled all my modules. It gets harder every year, I swear. And every year I forget what the graduation requirements are. So I have to dig up the 05/06 NUS Bulletin from the depths of the website and trawl through the 300-something pages.

Well, I've fulfilled [or am about to fulfill] all the specified requirements, so the rest just need to be filled in by UEs, which are essentially anything, right?

And with 900 points in my general account, I pray to God I'll get Chinese II this year.

Life sucks actually, but I don't like blogging about negative stuff like I once said. So I keep everything light and airy here.

I've started eating granola cereal at least once a day. Not intentionally, but it's such a yummy snack that now I look forward to when there's nothing to eat, so I can eat my granola with milk. Yums.

I'm not working anymore, pasal malas and I need a real break before school starts. But you know, when school starts, obviously I'll start working again. I just need an escape now, that's all.

I'm poor and I'm bored, so if anyone is boxed in by similar circumstances, please ask me out for a cheap date.

Love, me.

p.s. I was browsing through my labels and realised that I really miss MBB. I hope he'll be around when we get back to school.

Last night was the most exciting night of my life!

Okay no, but it was one of the most exciting nights I've had in a long time.

Leaving carpark from work at around one, and was snared in a roadblock at that same carpark. Was virtually ignored by everyone, until one dude decided to ask me whether I'd been cleared.

It was hot though. There were like three expressway patrol cars [or whatever], maybe three ROV bikes and two TP bikes. And there were more of them around the area. A few drivers being delayed pasal keretas modified sangat I suppose. Riders kena marah for tinted helmets. One car drove in and one of the officers quipped, "Wah this one confirm bring back one la!"

I was completely clean, btw. HA!

Went to Vivo and waited outside St. James and OMG, three TPs pulling up next to us. Again, ignored, and buat semak, so I sat down on the kerb and pulled out my handphone. I was quite annoyed by this time. Finally the third dude was done with my friend so I stood up and he smiled at me. In an instant all my annoyance evaporated and my heart melted at the same time and I smiled nervously back at him. He checked my papers, pronounced me good to go, and OMG again, that smile!

I couldn't resist so I snapped a photo when he wasn't looking. This means, of course, that it's a photo of his back, but WHO CARES? I just want a memento of that pleasant encounter. His name, btw, is Ahmad Elmi, which is so cute macam dier jugak! And I'm sorry if he's macam married or something, but Zul [who's married] told me there's nothing wrong with that, SO THERE.

I really hope we meet again [under similar pleasant circumstances], Ahmad Elmi.

[Oh yeah that was followed by Mount Faber, a teeny amount of supper, fifteen minutes waiting at the road shoulder, and finally home.]

I feel like doing an Awun and screaming at the TV, "WHAT love? WHAT love?!?!"

But other than that, I'm great, thanks for asking.

I went shopping with the welcome accompaniment of Hanom-Banom just now, and I actually maxed out my debit card and had to borrow a hundred bucks from her. Thanks Hanom.

We had lunch at Fish & Co. Served by the weirdest waiter in the world. And I'm being kind. When he first spoke to us, I swear I thought he was taking the mickey. But he kept up the gay-step-stewardess-complete-with-slight-bow-and-emotive-words act the WHOLE time. I was really quite unnerved. And Hanom was no help. The moment he opened his mouth, she was already getting ready to laugh. Oh Ali was there. He is still too, too adorable.

Yesterday was a night at Simpang after so long. It was lovely. I'd almost forgotten how much I love that place. Cute mats everywhere, like we don't get at store. A couple of them attempted to tail us home, but gave up halfway for I don't know WHAT reason!!! Ohwells. Anyways, slenger dude told us that Fakhrul's on holiday, so I can't wait till he gets back to work.

I can't believe school's starting soon. Not looking forward to it, really. And I'm so poor now it's not even funny.

I was at the carpark after work at around one in the morning, and I was smiling to myself because there was a pair of TP hanging around the carpark to conduct checks on the cars. I found it SO HILARIOUS because
(a) not only were there at least two large groups of people hanging around furtively, unwilling to get into their clearly-souped-up cars for fear of being inspected,
(b) but also because I really do hate these groups of earsplitting-engine cars that meet up in that carpark and then go zooming off somewhere else, in a creeping, annoying, noisy line. Like I'm not deaf enough already.

I mean, I actually saw one of the TPs under the hood of a car. Gahahahahaha. Good job! At least I know they're doing something other than antagonising me in the middle of the night at freaking Lim Chu Kang.

Okay, sorry. But really, the groups of modified cars really annoy me! They're noisy, step, AND they blind me to no end with their stupid high-intensity whatever foglights. HELLO. Did I miss any weather reports of foggy conditions? Takder pon. And you can't say I'm being hypocritical because Baby is a black bike with normal lights and I don't have an annoying speaker either. PLUS I don't ride around in groups of ten, blocking three lanes of major roads in the process. *nyehnyeh*

Oh dear this really turned into a tirade against annoyingbodykittedsportscars, didn't it? Well. I speak out against PDA too, sometimes. So. Haha. [If you don't get it, it's fine.]

I really think I should stop being so hate-able at work. I get annoyed at the stupidest things, and then I get annoying myself. Like the other day, a deaf customer who refused to respond to my calls of his java chip frap. So I went: "Hi, java chip frappuccino! [no response] Hi, java chip frappuccino! [no response] Hi, java chip frappuccino! [no response]" I was actually about to launch into a third chant, but Don made me stop. And the cute guy infront of him was laughing.

Today I was annoyed again. I made two venti chocolate cream chips and I was calling them out. "Chocolate cream chip! [no response] [in two decibels lower] Okay, ignore me.." YZ had a talk with me after that because apparently the guy was there and he was sniggering. Wow, you can snigger at my comments but you can't respond when I call your drink?

I haven't seen Dan in awhile, I wonder where he disappeared to.

The US Navy is in town. You can always tell. They're in the trains, in the clubs, in my store asking for white chocolate mocha and paying with Navy credit cards. It always breaks my heart a little to say that we don't have white chocolate in Singapore. I mean, having tasted the Spinelli's one--and subsequently drinking at least one each day--it's my favourite, too.

I missed venti no-whip add-sleeve caramel frap guy today because he came by earlier, apparently. =( He's really such a pleasant fixture to look at. I hope he'll be around tomorrow.

Okaylah tu je. I've been wanting to go for a secret shopping spree [secret because my boyfriend shouldn't know about it] but seriously, no time. I wake up just in time for work, and by the time I'm done, the shops are closed. I've been wanting to eat at Fish&Co too, but same setback.

Excuse me, cute guys, please apply at SB-LT. I'm dying of boredom and non-hesitation here. And "Can you STOP hiring girls?!?!" has become a daily chant by me to the managers.

Well that's it bye.

Ha! I'm back!

Both Caramel Brothers are here, I am so in love right now it's not even funny. But if I really had to choose, I'd pick the younger one. Both of them are waaay cool without even trying, but the younger one is hip-hoppy. The older one looks like he might crush me in bed [if he even deigned to get in bed with me, which is so not happening, so don't worry], so that makes him second pick.

My brother is stuck at home with chicken pox, and guess what. I've never actually had chicken pox before in my life, so I'm kind of at risk here. They say it gets more unbearable as you grow older. And although I had a chicken pox vaccine before one of my major exams [Primary Six or Sec Four], I'm still a little worried.

Oooh. Yesterday I finally hit Ikea Tampines since it opened. It's huge. There was this four-poster bed display that I fell in love with. It's just so fresh and charming. And there was a $600 rocking-sofa-chair which I almost bought with my own money. Once you get on it, you'll never want to get up. They're discontinuing the line, so if I really want to get it, I better get it quick. If any hot, rich guys out there are secretly in love with me, now's the time to come out, okay?

I have mottled [?] skin from a five-hour tanning session. It's so sad. I hope that one day it'll get back to normal. You know, if there's any disease I might die of, I think it would be skin cancer.

I haven't watched any movie in months, it feels. So sad.

OOOOOOOHHH on Saturday the hockey boys were in store. You know, Aidil and friends. Unfortch, I only know Aidil personally, so too bad. Haha. But I have to say, seeing a certain Pasir Ris-ian again was great. He still looks as hot as he ever did. I'm trying to recall the details involving the first time I saw him, but I can't seem to. It wasn't on the train, right? That was another guy. Hmmm.

Sometimes I miss those public transport days. Just sometimes.

Speaking of public transport, yesterday I was on 12 home from City Hall, and a few banglas were on it too. Then there was this chinese auntie-ish [around 30s or 40s, I know she has a talking son] who I swear was trying to pick up one of them. She was basically making conversation with him, asking him about his phone line, and whether he can cook or not, and how he would rate his cooking. It was just highly distracting listening to all that. I mean, she has a son. WHY is she trying to pick up a bangla worker. Or what could all her constant questioning mean, if she's not trying to pick him up?

Wow. I thought it'd be hard getting back into this blogging thing, but it's not. I've been flooding the partners' comm book with "entries", just cos it's easier to write there. No tagboard, no internet access requirement..

And now my alarm is going off so I gots to go. BYE.

Just dropping a note from Andy's laptop at work. Haha.

I'm still sick, it's so annoying. Yesterday I tried on about six dresses and a romper from River Island and I bought one of them. Plus a pair of Jellies in transparent. Modern-day Cinderella slippers. When I was younger they didn't have any big enough for my large child feet, so I'll get them now to make up for it.

I can't buy sale items cos mostly they don't have my size. But it's okay. I don't mind buying full-priced items. I don't like sale crowds anyway. Actually I don't like any kind of crowd except for the mid-sized clubbing crowd. Haha.

Also, I haven't been clubbing since the stupid ban, sedihnyer. So much for my plans to go check out the scene after the smoking ban. I was SO excited about it. Ohwell.

Okay my break's up, bye.

Don't say you will, if you won't.

Just a little something I live by.

So it's been a while since I last blogged, and I guess it took a huge thing to irk me badly enough to blog here.

Yesterday was the big day. I invited a few close friends, because, you know, it's not my wedding, and I even sent a couple of them real invitations, through the mail. This was at least a month ago, and then I bumped into another friend a week or so back, and I invited him too.

But wow, the one who showed up fifteen minutes before it started was the last-minute invite, my beloved Dodol and his girlfriend! Followed [hours apart] by Amin and Hanom.

Well, you know, it's an invitation and all, so you have every right, and then some, to decline. But I invited you, and you said yes, and some even followed up with offers of helping, etc. Friday night I was messaging and calling everyone, because Dodol was the only one who contacted me first. And nobody replied. Till like, two in the morning; noon the next day! So like, what were you doing when I called, anyway? You slept at midnight and woke up at noon?

So, what did you do, you forgot? Wow. If I invite you to my wedding, will you forget about it too? I wouldn't be surprised, really. There were even a couple of them who didn't turn up and didn't bother telling me.

Considering everyone accepted the invitation gracefully [and considering how we all attended Otam's wedding the other time with much anticipation], I was completely appalled.

It's just plain rude, is what it is.

And now I can really have a small wedding, no worries.

Malas to dwell on it, cos ugly thoughts make you uglier. But let's say now I know who I can count on.

I've been wanting to do this post for ages, but I never managed to find the time. Till now.

Well, basically, everybody and his dog knows that I got a major haircut in the last month. The same questions regarding my hair have been asked of me, so I thought I would compile them into this post.


Top Ten FAQs Regarding My Hair

1. Did you rebond it?
Yes, I went for soft rebonding, otherwise it would be pouffy and weird.

2. What made you get this hairstyle?
I've been wanting the Chinadoll-bangs for ages, plus I wanted to hack off all the old, dried-out hair, so it ended up like this.

3. Can I touch it?
Go ahead. It's not a wig.

4. What happens when you wear your helmet?
It depends. Sometimes nothing. Sometimes it'll just stick out at the ends and end up looking sixties.

5. What did your boyfriend say? [Hey, relatives have asked me that!]
Well, he wasn't thrilled, to say the least. Haha.

6. Do you miss your old hair?
No I don't.

7. What shampoo do you use?
Some unknown antidandruff shampoo they gave me at the salon, which doesn't seem to work anyway.

8. You look like Cleopatra.
Thanks.

9. You look like CleoFATra.
Thanks.

10. Isn't it hot?
Yes, as a matter of fact, it gets hot under the bangs. But ohwell. Small price to pay.

Bonus Question: How much did it cost?
Don't ask.

This was from Shafa's blog.

IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, iPaq etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you’re cool...

Hehe. Nothing to be embarrassed about, I think.

I had one of my now-rare train rides to work the other day, and I was just busying myself with photos when a set of the MRT Unit walked in at Tampines! Ahhh. Have always loved them. Haha. What were the odds, anyway?




Attended my cousin-in-law's [it's complicated] nikah on Saturday. The dude she's marrying is a Young Lion, so a bunch of Young Lions descended upon the home, in addition to the assortment of relatives from all sides. Eye candy galore, even though I have no interest in the game whatsoever. They kept to themselves, mostly, but the best part was when Hello-Kitty-lookalike [I don't wanna put his real name here for fear of being Googled, I really don't want this to get around] came out of the house and salamed ALL the datuks and pakciks before he left! I was SOOOOOOO awed, and my opinion of him just made an about-turn. In addition to being hot and famous, he's also respectful! How perfect can you get?

Okay enough gushing. I'm sure Nat knows who I'm talking about. Everyone else can ask me personally if you wanna know.




Life back at work has been all right. Yesterday there was a cute guy, maybe late twenties, who chatted to me while I made his hot chocolate. "Sekarang memang tak ramai orang eh?"/"So you get paid hourly right?"/etc. And Bernie and Dan were both around. Well it's just nice to see friendly faces.

Like that Malay dude the other day who insisted I speak to him in Malay cos he feels more comfortable conversing in Malay. But when I used that tactic on his friends, they responded in English. Macam-macamlah.

It hit me last night, how much I'm going to miss LT. Every aspect of working at LT. Parking at Angullia Park/LT multistorey, going to BK, visiting the DBS Autolobby.. It begins to hurt. Belum genap satu tahun, and you decide to close on me! Sedihnyer.

Anyway it's almost a given that the two of us will be at One Fullerton, which is some consolation.

Okaybye!

One year ago on this night..

..we met on the dancefloor.

Life's been just peachy, Alhamdulillah.

I went to PS the other night and met with some trouble parking Baby in the tiniest space imaginable. This cute mat Gilera was watching at first with a sympathetic smile on his face. Then as I started to sweat, he gave me helpful instructions. But that didn't go over too well either, so he said, "Nak saya tolong?" and I gushed, "Oh ya thanks!" before the words were even halfway out his lips.

So he got on the bike with good grace, and parked it beautifully for me. I didn't really see how he did it cos I was too busy looking down at his peach/pink sneakers. And no, no number-exchanging. I poured out words of gratitude, he said no-problem, and zoomed off.

But he was cu-uuuute.




That night was another Simpang night, and while on the way home, I was just thinking, Haaa last time roadblock kat sini.. Sekali I realised there was some sort of jam going on, and a few metres down I realised it was a roadblock. My third, btw. This was a selective roadblock again, so I thought they stopped all P-plates but no, after stopping me and Amin, they let this P-plate Phantom go!!!

Okay takper, I just surrendered the necessary documents and stuff. But even after they were done with Amin, they weren't done with me. I panicked inwardly, cos I was wondering whether it had something to do with the Lim Chu Kang roadblock. But the malay dude who was handling my stuff said to me, "Sorry eh, pasal kat license ader tunjuk 3A, tapi biler I screen takder 3A.." I shrugged it off, since I wasn't in a hurry or anything, and I had fun looking around at the other stopped vehicles. But inside I was thinking, "..biler I screen.." ke pe.. Haha. And there was a car that was stopped on suspicion of drink-driving. SO COOL.

Sorry, I'm of the train-wreck mentality.



Today we watched JPB [it's really Atikk's fault that I'm scared now] with Hanom, Natasha and friends. TOO FUN, espesh the noisy makcik infront who was discussing the plot with her husband who was two seats away.

Ask and you shall receive.

[backlog from last week]
My Lonerguy Mood is joyous.
My MBB Mood is rindu.

Exam Week has been pretty good so far. Studying at DTE--Pizza Hut mats, Boy [who asked me, "Bawak moto ape?"], and a smattering of Wild Wild Wet mats. Three glorious exams with Lonerguy. The last of which featured him kitty-corner to me. And which ended off with a not-so-romantic lunch at SP. Hehe.

Nights at Simpang. Lovely lovely lovely. Abang Fakrul and cute Faizal with the glasses and of course, Atikk's very own Abang Apoi. HAHA. And the assorted cute guys. I <3 Simpang so much it's not even funny.

Mechanic's hot as usual. Paid him the regular monthly visit, and Nat very kindly took a photo for me--which is still in her phone, unfortch. And the next night he sent me a goodnight forward. Hehe. Cute lah that one. So quiet and unassuming.



I've been faithfully returning to DTE, hoping to see Boy again, but no go. I'm not giving up, though.



I lovelovelove my new hair. Some people now have the illusion that I'm cute! *jumps around*

Hi all!

I'm in the training room at scilib, doing my usual online because I didn't come to school to study. Haha.

Nak terkencing. For the second time.

Yesterday I woke up late and went to Downtown East to study. It's not that bad except I spent half the time eating. HAHA. But if you go too early there aren't many cute mats to look at.

On Wednesday I went for Momo's Last Ladies' Night with Amin. Super fun. Loves the music. That is, loves the music until it hits 4 a.m. But half the people go there for the 4 a.m. music, so who am I to judge? Oooh I saw Lonerguy's friends and all, and I spent five full minutes searching for him, but I never found him. =( Aperlah dier. Doesn't he know how to take some time off studying? Hehe.

Sorry aku giler.




The upside of this haircut is that people don't recognise me.
The downside of this haircut is that people don't recognise me.
The upside of this haircut is that I look like Cleopatra.
The downside of this haircut is that I only look like her from afar.

HAHAHAA. But I love it anyway.

My MBB Mood is dancing-off-the-walls.

Hellohellohellohellooooooooo!

I was just parking this morning and he was at BG fiddling with some trash bag. He was staring at me for like two minutes, then he did a double-take and gestured to his hair [in response to my new haircut]. Sungguh adorable! I laughed and nodded and waved as I walked away.

<3 MBB!

I'm really just here to check my messages and ceritakan some cool peristiwas that happened in relation to Baby. Heheh.

On Friday, two cool things happened.

1. I was turning into the Angullia Park carpark, you know, to go to work and all. I always get anxious at that stage because you know, weekends, and takut no parking spaces. This Phantom was parked right infront of an empty space, blocking it, and talking on the phone. So I gestured to him whether I could park there and he nodded and moved forward to make way. While I spent my usual 8027493 years parking, he got off the phone and stood there watching me. When I was done, he was still watching me, so I ignored him and rummaged around for a parking coupon. Then he decided to open his mouth and said, "Alah, tak payah taruk parking coupon pun boleh.." and proceeded to engage me in conversation: "Interesting eh, tengok pompan bawak KR.."/"You kerje sini?" Finally he ran out of steam, so I went off. Haha.

2. It was past four, and I was headed home with Amin--both of us riding. This Mitsubishi Lancer cruising in the third lane spotted me, and proceeded to tail me into the second lane and drive alongside me, smiling and asking for my number. At least three cute mats. I smiled back, but I know my limits. No phone number, sorry.



Finally, I was taking a nap yesterday afternoon when my mechanic called me: "Boleh bersembang..?"/"Kalau senang boleh call?" He's Chinese, by the way. I think I waxed lyrical about him in a previous post. Adorable, but I always thought he was for seeing, not touching. I certainly didn't expect him to start calling me up just to chat. But I guess not a lot of female customers leave their numbers yea..


Itu je, I suppose. Take care and good luck for the exams!

My Lonerguy Mood is flattered.
My MBB Mood is benci-tapi-sayang.

Yesterday night Amin was riding to Central from the local Shell, and I passed by this cute guy on a scooter who was waiting to turn right from the opposite side of the road. I took a second glance, he took and second glance, and we both smiled and waved at each other. *giggle* That was nice.

This is the last day of school. And I only just realised this morning!!! God. Aku loser. So I'm not mentally prepared at all. It's the last Breakfast Club meeting for months! Feels weird. This morning I missed breakfast so I had my usual drink and a blueberry bagel, toasted with cream cheese. Yummers. Better than Bakerzin's bagels, ANYDAY.

I listened to one J. Mizan song this morning, missed the title, so now I got all the possible J. Mizan songs, and it turned out to be the first one I got!!! Buang F-drive space je.

I love the new brake lever. So metallic. And matches the gorgeous footrests. Yay.



Kalau ku bayangkan
Dirimu jauh dari ku
Betapakah sunyi
Tentu tidak seharum dulu

Engkau ku salahkan
Bermungkir di dalam cinta
Tapi ku percaya
Tak mungkin sekejam itu

(Chorus)
Kini ku bayangkan
Seandainya kita bersama
Rianglah duniaku
Bersinar bintangmu

Marilah dewiku
Marilah terus bercinta
Tak akan berdosa
Insan kalau bercinta - J. Mizan

My Lonerguy Mood is giggly.
My MBB Mood is cheery.

It's nice to have them both back, after my own prolonged period of absence. Even Hasyim-lookalike was around. The only one missing was the OCS despatch guy. Prolly cos I was super-early today at 715 a.m. HAHA. I got 2101 test back. I got 41 and Abdillah got 38! =PPPPP Haha.

Nak terkencing. For the third time this morning. Irritating sey.

Smalam was one of the final few store meetings. At Capital Tower. I think they were trying to get us used to the idea of another store? Anyways. It dragged on and on. But loves my bananas. And coconuts. Smells like Banana Boat, tastes like summer! Makes me wanna go tanning again. Like now. Haha.

After that I went to Lau Pa Sat for dinner with D. Dah lama tak gi Lau Pa Sat. Some of the guys there know me. And the rest.. Would like to. Haha. It's weird la. I used to go there almost every night once. Not that I miss it or anything. I'm just saying it's weird.



Random photos.

My Lonerguy Mood is goooooood.

I walked into my latest favourite hangout, S10 CBLC, and he was just sitting there, surfing through travel listings.

"Kalau blajar takper jugak.." I said.

He said he had something to pass to me, so I waited, and there was my Li Tianhu test paper with a good grade on it. "Oooh, totally laaa!" I exclaimed. He just gave me that I-know-it-all smile of his.



Momo yesterday. It was, uh, well it was alright, I suppose. I looked pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself. *giggle*

Oh we watched Shooter, with some reluctance, which turned out to be misplaced because it's terrific, balls! Gahaha.

Okay I know I haven't done much in the way of school. Emotions got in the way la.





The day that I saw you walking
I can't help myself but to look at you
It must be the way you smile at me
Darling you're like the morning dew

You're too near to me yet so far
So beautiful that's what you are
If you were the keys than I'm the car
You're the honey and I'm the jar

You are my eyes
Without you my world is blind
Come to me now love
We'll be together forever

I'm so high on the cloud number nine
And I thank God that you are mine
You tripped me over with your magical shine
You are perfect and you look so fine

So many things I want from you
It hurts when I know you're feeling blue
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Take you away and make your dreams true - Peepshow

My Lonerguy Mood is indifferent.
My MBB Mood is okay.



This morning the OCS despatch guy smiled at me. Haha.

Paid my cute mechanic a visit again just now. His name is Ah Long, it transpires. And he is so adorable with his quiet smile and subtly muscular arms. One of the rare few manjen guys I like. Gahaha.

I am bored. Again. But I don't wanna end up sleeping again, like I did yesterday. Rain, don't get me wrong, I love you and everything, but you really screw up my plans, don't you think?

Ohwell. I was just checking in.

My Lonerguy Mood is resigned.
My MBB Mood is bouncing-off-the-walls.

Haha. When I reached school this morning, Hasyim-lookalike was around, to start things off. =D And then while I was sitting with Alfian [ajer, boo to Amy!], MBBK walked past, raised his hand in greeting to Alfian, and smiled at me. I smiled back, and continued smiling even after he'd walked away.

Like on Tuesday when my adorable mechanic smiled at me. He is too, too cute!

Later at the locker he walked past again. This is a great MBB day.

Tak sia-sialah aku bangun pagi even though this lecture was in no way beneficial to me other than seeing Li Tianhu. Haha.

I am bored. And tired. For no apparent reason. Ooh yesterday I finished lab pretty early, by my standards. It was nice to end the last lab session of the academic year on a positive note. Although aku abis at 410, I was still in the first half of the lab that ended. So, props for me! Haha. And special thanks to Clara Toh, whoever she is, whose lab report virtually helped me get perfect grades for my own lab reports. Yay to you.




I logged onto whosgoing.sg to find that I got a message from this guy who chatted me up outside Momo, some Saturdays back. I was so pleasantly surprised. To know that he still remembers me, etc. Even though all we did was talk, plus I was none too responsive that night.


Yesterday morning there was an annoying white Honda which kept dancing in and out of lanes. He made his debut by sliding from 3 to 1, and continued weaving in and out. I got so annoyed, I waited till he was stuck, then I kilas-ed past. It turned out to be some show-off vik. Amek kau obat.

Ohwell. Tu je, I suppose.

My Lonerguy Mood is crushed.
My MBB Mood is buoyant.



I fell asleep during 2101 and had a dream. I got an SMS from Lonerguy saying,

"Hey kesiannye tido dalam lecture.. Penat eh? Takpe nanti kiter sit together. -[hisname]"

I hyperventilated for awhile, then proceeded to scream at Alfian, "Hei kau kasi dier number aku? Wooohoo!" Then I woke up.



I have only about an hour of leisure left before I start studying for stats, so let's make it good.



This morning I walked past MBBK while I was sipping the last dregs of my WCL, and I smiled at him, and he smiled back! Yesterday I was riding back from arts and checking out a non-local [i.e. non-Science-based] MBB at the YIH bus stop, and the third MBB rode past. Woohoo!

I'm a little bit of a mess today cos I went out last night for a movie--Stomp the Yard. It's nice. And Chris Brown is cute, of course. Too bad he hadta die.

There was this girl I was kutuking cos she was fixing her makeup for a solid fifteen minutes before entering the movie theatre: "What is she touching up for? I'm sure the movie theatre is not gelap, and people will be checking her out. Unless, of course, she's appearing on the big screen instead of sitting down watching the movie lah. Oh, I know, I bet dier nyanyuk and she thinks she's going clubbing instead of watching a movie--cos you know, both places cam gelap--so that's why she's fixing her makeup."

I am bitchy.

This is why I'm a chemistry major.

My Lonerguy Mood today is indifferent.
My MBB Mood today is hopeful.

It decided to rain heavily on my parade this morning. Capping off what has to be the second worst weekend in my life history. A weekend spent doing nothing but sleeping and waking, eating, watching tv, and sleeping again. And I'm not talking restful sleep. It was bingit sleep--like, for lack of things to do, I resorted to sleeping. When I have nothing to do these days, I tend to sit and stare into space and my mind starts working overtime and an overall shitty feeling descends on me.

Well, I did manage to get my labreport done.

And I'm in school safe and sound despite the really-scary rain, so that's something I can thank God for. It's a new week, full of promise, so why let memories of the past week affect the potential of this new week?

Next time I won't bother relying on so-called friends with their so-called plans. [Totally NOT referring to the Breakfast Club. So don't worry.] This Saturday I will isi V-Power and go somewhere I've never been before. Armed with a map, of course.

Isn't it sad how my self-worth is measured by whether I go out on weekends? Isn't it stupid how I get really annoyed when I spend forty-eight hours shut in my own home? Isn't it tragic how I push people away when I need them the most? Isn't it pathetic that I watch consecutive late-night shows just so I won't have to go to sleep?

Well. I digress. This morning, since I was late, drenched and dripping, I easily decided to give lecture a miss [again. Hey it's not my fault it always rains on Mondays.] and went to Spinelli as usual for my regular order. Hasyim-lookalike wasn't there, but I didn't really care. When they were finally done with my drink, the guy said, "It's free." and I dazedly replied, "Huh? Seriously?" He affirmed it. "Are you sure?" Affirmation. "Oh okay, thanks."

Why was it on the house, anyway? Did he see that I badly needed a pick-me-up? Or was he just rewarding me for being a regular customer? Either way, it worked. So thank you. [Not that you'll read this or anything.]

I'm handing in my resignation to the Breakfast Club because the two founding members are always buaying me when I come early. But I'm still gonna attempt to reach school before 730 because I love seeing the sunrise as I'm entering the ECP. This, btw, means that I have to leave the house by 645. Which means either I:
(a) wake up earlier than the 5 a.m. I normally wake up at, or
(b) lincah-lincah siap, or the final and most drastic and therefore I'll never even consider,
(c) skip breakfast. EEK!

This morning Hashim-lookalike a.k.a. Great Eyes is baaack!

I'm gonna join the Breeders' Gang instead.

[Btw, I changed my password to mbbrocks. HAHA.]

My mom ordered Pizza Hut. We usually have 2-35-35-35 delivery about once a fortnight, on average. Yes, that's how privileged I am. Anyway I just wanted to wax lyrical about the Hollywood Beef Pan Pizza, which has the yummiest, bounciest beef balls known to man! Gahahaha. Okay the reason I know they're bouncy is because they kept leaping off the pizza slices and bouncing all over the table, my legs, and the floor. But I digress. It's yummyyyyyyy. And all you have to do is pick off the onions [which are only on the surface, no trouble there] and add some chilli flakes [pasal you know, it's non-spicy].

My room now smells of cupcakes pasal I hung one of my YummyScents in "Frosted Cupcake" over my bed. Haha. Well, I bought like twelve, I had to use them sooner or later right?



Smalam I was pissed pasal after all my anticipation and careful planning, Wally [figure it out] decided NOT to show up for lab! It was the last lab I would have with him, ever. And I wasn't the only one he pissed off. His lab partner was mad too pasal obviously, lack of lab partner. So annoying. It's not like he was here this morning either.

After that I went for an encounter with the TP again. Lord, all these drivers and riders gripe about the TP but I bet half of them never actually had an encounter with them. I had no problems with them myself till my brush with them on Saturday. The ones on the road are bad enough. The ones at HQ are simply indescribable. [But I shall attempt to, anyway.] They placed the greenest, most incompetent ones at the counters to deal with civilians. And all the seasoned ones somewhere in the back recesses. There was this manjen one who was taking down a no-incident report who can't even spell "freelance". But can still hisap bodek with his ma'am. And can still sebok-sebok around my case when he knows squat about it. The superior or whatever he is said some crap to us about "This is a court case" and "You will be charged with abetting.." Look, I know, dude. Tell me something I don't know.

Or maybe I'm just angry at myself, but taking it out on them.

That manjen officer still pisses me off though. I would hate him even if I were riding a Haya and I accidentally knocked him down. Haha. No relevance, I know.





Well. Off to West Coast, I guess.

"Wah, niari sexy sey.." said Mr. Open-Mic Night.





ANYWAY. Since Amy blogged about a fantastic wedding she attended over the weekend, aku pun tanak kalah ah. My turn.

I attended Amin's officer's tunang in Jurong with him and his firefighters. Some lieutenant dude lah. And wow not only is he tall and segak and handsome, he looks painfully familiar too! Haha. It was just a small-scale celebration la, tikars in the three-room flat and all. My sister's was bigger. But anyway the food was yummy and I was like practically the only non-relative female around. The other firefighters are young, mostly macam my age, and they were so kecoh and funny.

Except when the freshly-tunanged lieutenant dude asked Amin, "Biler kau nyer turn?" I instantly died.




I am cold and I am hungry but I kinda don't wanna waste money on food cos my mom made roti kirai! Haha.


You know another reason I love store? Cos I love the music they play.

Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
Please baby don't (baby don't)
You know my history
See honey I (honey I)
I'm just trying to warn you (let me warn you)
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me

I've been cruisin down this road for a while now,
I should tell the truth...
Girl you've been so good to me but I know
I'm no good for you
You should run while you can
Find yourself a better man
'Cause I'm known for brief romance
And breakin hearts across the land

Yes I've been known to have a few temptations
Out there on the road
And let's say hypothetically I've slipped and
Took a couple home
Girl I know that's not fair
You need someone who'll be there
So just get away before it's too late
and your pain is too much to bear

Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me
Please baby don't (baby don't)
You know my history
See honey I (honey I'm)
I'm just trying to warn you (let me warn you)
Please baby don't (baby don't)
Don't fall in love with me

Now on second thought maybe we'll give
This love another try
'Cause I can't see you with no one else
I'm selfish I can't lie
So let's go, let's go slow
You know all you need to know
It could end one day but
Let's just say we'll see how far it goes - John Legend f Sergio Mendes

MBB = Mat Bersih-Bersih
BG = Breeding Ground
PL = Parking Lot
BP = Bait Place [S9 Benches]

I got caught in the rain this morning. It was the latest in a series of unfortunate events that befell me over the weekend.

Siti once asked me, "What was the best day of your life?"

--"The day I got my riding license."

So extrapolate from that and determine what was the worst day of my life.





On another note, this morning it was NOT raining in school. And I got here just in time to see MBB. Who walked past me and Baby, so I smiled and him and he smiled back!!! Haha. Then I was doing labreport at Spinelli's and the other MBB walked past. Yey.

So other than my still-damp jeans, the morning has been going swimmingly.

It's been a fantastic morning because
- Guy With Great Eyes remembered my order as "Your usual?"
- Atikk talked to SP dude who I've always thought was scary, but actually he's nice,
- I saw MBB at BG while I was at PL,
- I saw MBB outside LT21,
- and I had breakfast with Lonerguy [and friends] and he chose to sit next to me not Alfian! PLUS,
- we saw MBB again, and told Lonerguy about him.

Haha.

Yesterday I rode home with the hot sun beating down on me, isi-ed minyak at the local Shell, where the attendant pumped minyak for me again, and I borong-ed the 4 for $10 air fresheners. When I reached home, I discovered a stark tanline corresponding to my racerback top. All I can say is, nasib baik I wasn't wearing a tshirt.

Lonerguy is SO cute.

Going off to West Coast in awhile. Lepas stats tutorial nak balik pasal mata dah takleh angks.

This morning MBB-Imitation was there. He is so adorable. Finally I can admit it. Haha.

Smalam at the Bukit Merah bike shops, we bumped into Awun. :) I can safely say I did not embarrass myself this time.

The second part of 2102 test was alright. I really think Li Tianhu is the cutest, best lecturer ever. Haha.

Anyway. These were from nightlife.sg, I think.

So I sat down at the terminal next to his, stuck out my tongue at him because he said the seat was taken, and continued talking to Atikk on the phone: "Yeah so I'll see you tomorrow.."

"Ah besok.. Gi tengok movie issit..?" he sampuked.

"Tak, gi pangking!" I snapped back.



Ain, Ain. Kau betul carik pasal.

A shoutout of congratulations to Atikk for you-know-what. Haha.



Alah, kau cutelah Lonerguy.



[Zul--from MySpace--messaged me on Hi5 saying some shit about how he's sorry for disappearing from my life these past coupla months, and for being mean when I attempted to contact him. Said he was having some relationship problems or whatever shit. And asked me to forgive him. But it's never that easy, is it?]

Photos first!!!

Part of the Swissotel Stamford series.



Some random bike parked at West Coast Mac's. Cool or gaudy? I couldn't quite decide, but I liked the "2Slow2Serious" sticker.


Powerhouse was pretty fun on Wednesday, despite the raid. The bottles of Fantasy in the ladies' might have had something to do with it.


NOT my son. Haha. But if I ever had one, I'd want him to be as cute.


I don't go online on weekends cos I'm either out working, out partying, out merayaping, or out studying. So when Monday rolls around I forget what I was supposed to do online.

The test was pretty great, I thought. I felt very proud of myself for having to ask him a clarification question on the ⁴J thing. I couldn't do the IR one worth fifteen, but the rest seemed okay.

Look, I'm just proud of myself, okay? Academics have been pretty much slipping, so you know, little things. And I got thirteen out of a possible twenty for the 2101 quiz. Next up is the Spectro-Inorg one on Thursday. Also labreports and assorted tutorials, including one later today.

Momo on Saturday was alright. I tried something new and wore shorts instead. Dapat jugak snare one horny guy who wanted to send me home, haha. I declined, of course. The boyfriend was in the house. Not quite wasted, but I really wish some people didn't have to drink to lose their inhibitions to dance. I love that Momo has loads of lockers, and there are like 72047092 legal parking spaces around.

It's weird though, I still feel that the best time I have when clubbing is the time I spend alone.

Yesterday night there was a dead cat on the road. EEEEEEE.

Yes well, I think that would be it for now.

Work on Tuesday.

Witnessed accident on Wednesday in the right lane just as I zoomed past. I was shaking for the next five exits. After that was St. James with Az and Aliyah. There was a raid! Haha.

Thursday was mostly resting, one hour of tutorial, and more rest at home. Ey but I bought a new pair of shorts. Amy MMSed me in the morning with updates on Lonerguy. From Nat's blog:

But he didn't turn up for organic anyway. :(

And I am now a regular at Spinelli's, despite Nat's complaints on the overextracted shots. The guy with the great eyes is cute, and the other malay dude is cute too. And I love my white chocolate latte. Yum.

Forgot to gush about Allan Wu. Alfian and I were at West Coast Mac's yesterday, studying--or trying to, anyway--for organic, and there happened to be a photoshoot, so the models were using the Mac's toilet. Now, at first aku tak heran, while Alfian couldn't take his eyes off the girl. But then the guy model walked in, all buff and tanned and just very hot, and I nearly died. And it turned out to be Allan Wu!!!

Needless to say, not much studying got done.

Anyway they were finally done, so he was like walking away, then I realised he was holding a helmet. So I said, "Alfian asal dier bawak helmet? Does he actually ride?" [The photoshoot centred on two big bikes, apparently.] And Alfian replied, "Ntah.. Kiter gi tengok ah, mana tahu dier park sebelah kau!"

[When we got there earlier, I'd parked next to a big Honda, which I wasn't really paying attention to.]

At first I was like, "Alah tanak ah, I'm sure he's taking the car. Anyway, aku malu!" But Alfian said, "Aku nak gi tengok, do you want to come or not?" so I followed him.

I followed him, just in time to see Allan Wu, seated on the bike parked next to mine, riding away. I nearly died. He rides! Totally laaa! I parked next to him! Double totally laaaa!

Okay that would be it, I think.

I finished lab report and now I'm going to work! Yay!

I found a photo of us on Az's friendster that was originally from whosgoing.sg. So now I'm hooked on surfing photos from that site, just in case ada muka aku. HAHA.

I'm really supposed to be doing labreport, actually.

Yest I went home right after test. Unfortch, there was the grandmother of all jams at the AYE(ECP) entry. So I thought I'd be smart and take CTE instead. I was wrong. There was a jam in the tunnel too! And you know, jam in the tunnel is 4926593 times worse, because it's hot. Anyway I got home in one piece, you'll be glad to know, and went to sleep shortly after maghrib.

Yet, I still fell asleep in lecture.

It's been a good morning so far because there was army guy, lonerguy, and of course, glimpses of MBBs.

Quick update before I rejoin Amy at the bait-place. [No, it's not a place where you buy fishing supplies.]

Been busy working and going out with Amin. Haha. Yes, I haven't done much in the way of homework or studying. On Wednesday Naz called to apologise: "Masih marah lagi?" Thursday was work, Friday was spent with my baby and Daddy. I had mechanic's hands for two days after that cos the dirt and grime got irreversibly lodged under my nails and on my palms.

Saturday was more work, and Swissotel Stamford with Naz, Siti, Marina and Adina [argh I still don't know how to spell it!]. Sixty-first floor! It was amazing. I could have stood out there on the balcony forever, watching the toy cars moving on the road, and all the pretty lights. But it was cold, and I was wearing shorts. And as much as I love my cameraphone, it didn't really take such great photos this time. Nothing that could have done that sight justice.

And Sunday I drove down to Amin's place for a sickbed visit. Okay he wasn't that sick la, haha. Dah lama tak drive, it was nice, singing along to Imran Ajmain and looking out for bikes. Everything was just fine and dandy till I reached home, and decided to reverse into one of the spaces. Despite having a back sensor, and having lived there for the past 14 years of my life, I reversed into a pole and scratched the paintwork.

I will never get the car again.

I might as well peel off that sticker on my license and throw it away.

Sorry, I'm just sad. And angry at myself. If only we could turn back time.

Well. It's too cold. I'm off.

Just dropping by to say how I had the most fantastic lab session of all time!!! Haha. This is the lab that I get with Lonerguy AND the other cute chem guy I discovered this year. So it's pretty much a dream. And today, Lonerguy put his hand in my lap! [Okay the reality's much less romantic than it sounds. But the general idea is there.]

So, you know. In a great mood. Even though it's raining and I have tons of work to do for tomorrow BUT I'm not even caring, I'm going out with Hanom instead.

Haha.

Maybe I'll be back.

Sorry, but...

I'm so bored, I actually logged onto Habbohotel again. After one [or is it two?] years!!!

Plus it's like past one, I have yet to get started on my labreport, and why? Because I started looking for photos from my past, and I got a little carried away!

In the meantime, this was taken at Momo on Wednesday night. Loves it. [Even if I say so myself.]

West Coast as usual after lecture just now, and there were some adorable kids padding around in blond curly hair, barefoot. Cute. This WILL be a regular thing, I think.

Well. I'll finish up Habbo-ing then it's time for labreport la. :(

Dreamgirls last night, which was a tad too long but really cool anyway.

I really should be doing some amount of school-related work, but I wanted to put up some Gotham photos first.






Yep. That was fun.

Feels like it's been forever.

I haven't done an ounce of work all week. So much for a mid-sem break. However, I did manage to squeeze in a minimal amount of fun.

Tanning on Wednesday morning/afternoon, followed by movie, and clubbing with the BRE girls at night--the hot Odyssey guys at Gotham before heading to Momo. Loves the toilets at Momo, or at least, the hot guys on the cubicle doors.

Rode home alone, and one of my wishes came true on the CTE-PIE. Haha. That was fun.

Thursday could have been better, really. When I'm tired, angry or upset, I tend to ride recklessly [this means fast], and I know it's not safe, but I can't stop myself. Then I scream on the roads and get mad at the littlest annoyance that other road users throw at me.

[But they aren't all minahs at Dbl O.]

Thursday could really have been a lot better cos I spotted Ninja sitting at the benches right infront of store. They really should not be allowed to do that.

Just wanted to drop a note.

The rest of the week after that was pretty cool.

I bumped into Dan[ish] at The Cathay with his mom and brother. That was a nice encounter, and it's nice to know that I have, at long last, made friends with a so-called customer. [Still refuse to believe he's 17!]



On Friday morning a Phantom tooted his horn at me on the ECP. I was thinking, maybe my lights aren't turned on or something, so I turned, and what did he do? He waved. Kalau he's around my age takper jugak but NO, he's 45+++. Kalau dier Raime pun takper jugak but NO, he's just some random bapak orang. So I smiled at him, perah to 140++, and lost him as quickly as I could.


Lonerguy is still cute. Too bad he knows it.

[Are there any guys out there who are really cute, but don't know it? I'd like to meet them.]


Thursday was spent at West Coast again. Lovesloves. Espesh the white chocolate raspberry cake from McCafe. Yum.



And yes, Malam Pentas on Friday night with Hanom. [Ignore the ugly people in the background.]

I took shitloads of photos over the past few days, and I've actually been rajin enough to upload them and transfer them into a thumbdrive so I can blog from school, so..

*Image-heavy* again!

I'm going here in awhile for another solo lunch. Whee!

Farid will kill me if he sees this, but takper. I'll take my chances. [I don't want you to leave us for Hugo Boss, Farid!!!]

So I was at Sentosa yesterday with Daddy, and they were in the middle of setting up a huge flower exhibition for this event, Sentosa Flowers [or some shit] starting 18 Feb. The theme is Rhymes in Bloom, so I'm sure everyone knows which nursery rhyme this is from.

[It also got me thinking about Baba, which was why I decided to message her for cupcakes.]

What's that I see?

Cute kan?

I'm not sure what this is, though. And sorry, I like to take senget photos.

We cable-car-ed from Jewel Box at Mount Faber to Sentosa, and back a coupla hours later. I was wondering aloud if anyone ever takes the cable car alone and guess what? We saw a manjen dude, all dressed up, with a bouquet of flowers, ALONE! He got into the car after ours, and we spent the whole ride thinking up possible scenarios and feeling sorry for him. But I think that story has a happy ending la, because I saw him later around Mount Faber [still alone] looking happier. Presumably waiting for a late date?

This was the view from the cable car at night. Personally, I think the view from Mount Faber is nicer.

Siloso Beach is nice at night because
1. Takder orang.
2. I love the Siloso Beach Resort hotel that's like, literally a stone's throw away. Kau boleh macam, do a standing broad jump and still reach it.

3. Cafe Del Mar (Singapore), the new beach bar, is SO rockin'! Love the decor and the music is to terkencing for. [Chillout stuff.] You feel like you're in another country. And I didn't even step inside!


Hope yours was good too!

Happy Valentine's Day.







Yesterday wasn't such a great day at work for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. But it got better at the end of the night.

Because Naz gave me a rose!!!

Thank you, Naz. <3 Naz. I know I was macam, step-unmoved by the gesture and all, but I was really. I just didn't wanna cry buckets infront of you again. Haha.

[And how could I not be? It was the first real flower I ever got for Valentine's Day. (I remember when Baba gave me a plush flower. You know, the giant ones from toyshops that Fana once used to point at clothes at Tekka?) And it was just very sweet la.]



Have fun y'all!

*Image-heavy*

The shirt I got for him. Lovesloves!

My adorable Dr. Seuss t-shirt which cost forty-three bucks. Loves too!

What happened to "Happily ever after.."?

Last year, Nat challenged me to make star-shaped foam. This was my response to her challenge. Unfortch, it turned into a flower. Lawar though, right?

Guess who?

Wokay that'll be all for now.

You know how, after you've done an amount of actual work, you feel really light and buoyant?

And you know how I *heart* boys, and just seeing one cute boy can put an extra ray of sunshine in my day?

So when you put the two together, don't you think you'll come up with a winning feel-good combination?

Well, that's what I'm feeling now!


Haha. Takla. I was macam hungry after lecture, and no kakis today, so I decided to take a short ride down to West Coast for some good food and better studying. So what if Alfian's not around? I can do it by myself too! Anyway I made it there safely and in good time and all, so I settled down with a McWings meal and my spectro tutorial. As I was finishing up, a large bunch [I counted seven] of ITE mats trooped in.

ITE mats! [Riding ITE mats, no less.] I haven't had a feast of those for so long! Maklumlah, no more riding prac, and no hanging out at Tampines, and busy working, etc. They jostled to sit next to me, and while discussing what to eat, one of them proclaimed, "Ayam!" at which the rest of them guffawed amusedly.

They were so cute, espesh the one at the far end with shades and black sleeves under his uniform.

Unfortch, they had to get back to school. I was tempted to leave with them as well, but my own school responsibilities were calling, too. So I stayed there.

Maybe we'll meet again?



By the way, West Coast Mac's isn't as lengang as I thought. It's pretty busy during lunchtime, which was when I was sitting there with a six-seater table all to myself. Haha. Office people, I think, from whatever buildings those are, across the road.


[It's Lonerguy's birthday! I didn't realise till I left the LT and it was too late to wish him!]

Okay Nat is done, tata bye!

Hot date yesterday, and I bumped into HK at Lido Mac's with his current squeeze. Of course he doesn't remember/recognise me so it wasn't weird or anything. Sometimes I wish we could go back to that day in the train. And maybe one of us would have done something differently, and it wouldn't turn out the way it has now. Because of course, our tiniest actions have the most far-reaching consequences.



I don't like the way they look at me as though I've changed, because I haven't. I've always been this way, it's just that no one has ever bothered to love me and pamper me like he does. It's not like my standard of work has fallen, and it's not like I have any fewer morals or picked up any vices, and it's not even that I disobey my parents. [On a lighter note, it's not like I stopped checking out cute guys, or layaning the existing ones!]




Yesterday we had dinner at Newton. Scrap whatever previous feelings I had for Newton, because I lovesloves it now! Haha. The uncle I usually order from remembers me, and where I work! He's so nice la. But you know. Can't afford to eat his crabs on a daily basis, so it'll be awhile before I get to see him again.



I am going for a solo lunch, once the hour hits eleven and/or my notes are printed, whichever is sooner.

Today I just slept all day [and night]. How piggish of me right? It's amazing how pemalas I can be. I'd even turned on my laptop to blog but decided to shut it down cos I just wanted to sleep.

What a waste of a day.

[When you're working and schooling, I think non-working weekends are hard to come by, and should therefore be properly appreciated.]





Anyways. Hit Vivo yesterday with Hanom. I wasn't about to do any actual shopping--at least none for myself--but then I lost my shades in the toilet pasal AKU BODOH, and I was feeling sad and depressed and all, so I started looking for a new pair. Topshop takder, but I bought another pair of black pants "for work". Hehe. Well they turned out to be a tad too long, but aku takut nak alter cos the last time I did that, they became slightly too short. Right now, I'll settle for folding them, even though it looks completely nerdy.

After that, nothing really tickled my eyeballs. Till we walked into River Island [where everyone is friendly without being annoying. It's amazing!] and I found the inner shades. I couldn't stop trying them on. But they cost $45, so aku pun macam fikir dua kali. I thought I'd just walk around, and if I still wanted them then, I'd come back for them. So I was in the shoe section, and guess what? They have my size! Guess what else? My size isn't the largest available! But of cos, harga dier pun lawar, so I'll save that for another month.

Almost forgot to explore the men's section. Which would have been a pity, because I found a whole bunch of cufflink shirts! Totally laaa! And while I was admiring this striped brown shirt with blue seams, the most adorable retail assistant approached us and offered his help in the most un-annoying way. I know it was his eyes that moved Hanom, but I was more swayed by the tone of his voice. Haha.

Yes and I ended up getting the shirt ($105) AND the shades. Lovesloves.

Bumped into Nutz, who wasn't working, but was there anyway.

I'm sorry, love.

Wrote this during stats tutorial:

"So anyway, it transpires that they only have intranet here. Therefore, no Gmail and no MySpace and no Friendster. Worst of all, no Blogger. But I should be able to send email, so I’ll just cut-and-paste this into LJ/Blogger later. Hehe.



Lonerguy is such a natural flirt. Maybe I’ve said this before, but I have to say it again: He is a natural flirt. It’s very unnerving for me, someone who has once had a huge unwavering crush on him, to sit next to/behind him and have him glance at me with that cheeky expression on his face, that smile and those eyes, and the merepek things he says. And it’s like, I wanna strangle him and hug him at the same time! Unfortch for me, that ambivalence was reflected on my face just now. Which was why Alfian turned around and was grinning at me.



He’s a charmer, no doubt about it.



Gots to keep reminding myself that he has a girlfriend [not to mention a line of other girls still willing to go out with him anyways]. And that I have one too.



















Was at West Coast Mac’s again just now. I swear, it rocks too much. Today there was an adorable baby girl who reminded me of Ayu [from Bujang Lapok]. She was tiny, with hair so short she could pass for a boy without those pierced ears, and had a single sock on her right foot. Leaning on the table drinking from her bottle, stuffing her fingers into her mouth, eating with her left hand. Alfian waved at her and she waved back.



I want a baby of my own too, but the catch is--like I told Alfian--you need to get married to have one. [And don’t give me that bullcrap about how it’s a modern society and shit. I’m still a Muslimah.]









The guy next to me is playing FreeCell or some similar shit. I love the spot I’m sitting at. Actually I love this room. The sunlight streams in and fills the whole room, and it just has an overall bright feel to it. Correction: I would love this room if they had actual internet. Haha.



Why am I hungry again? I knew I should have had another hashbrown. Wahaha.



I miss Daddy. I cannot believe I am finally free to go out with him, officially, rightfully, in the most un-bitchy, un-two-timing manner! It wasn’t without the pain and hurt la. I do not like hurting people. [*Looks at Penny, who wants to be a hitman.*] Espesh if they did nothing to deserve it.



Hehe tadi on the way back from Mac’s, a guy on an Africa-Twin-ish bike at the traffic light smiled at me! Grinned, in fact. It was quite funny. So I smiled back. Because sometimes the attention is nice. But sometimes it’s not. Like when I’m sweating buckets at the petrol station and all I want is five minutes of snow so I won’t look so frightful. Or when I’m trying to squeeze out of/into a tight space when my parking already sucks. And so on.



Speaking of sucky parking, I was at the Bukit Timah/Newton Shell the other day, buying 2T, and there was this Mercedes SLK-class at the pump behind me that I was admiring. Of course when the driver got back, I left her to her own business and started my bike la. Next moment, I heard a dull crashing sound. I thought it was a stack of crates jatuh or something, and I turned. I was wrong. It was the Merc. She crashed it into the step of the next pump!!!



Buat malu pompan je. Kalau ber-P-plate takper jugak.



Alritey gtg bye!"



I'm hungry. I feel like going to look for Abdillah so I can go eat again. But I won't. Haha.

Am at Central Lib now. But I still prefer Scilib, for reasons I've enumerated enough over the past couple of months so I'll give everyone a break now.



For this week, I put all X's on my schedule so I could take a much-needed break from work, concentrate a little on school, and spend time with friends [i.e. Dodol. I miss him so much!]. But Dean made a helluva lot of noise, and asked me for one day, so I conceded Friday to him. The next day he asked if I could work Saturday. I said I had Nadia's kenduri. So he put me down to work from eight till closing. On Monday I was hanging out at store, and this time they requested I do preclosing on Tuesday. Since aku kesiankan Shermeen and since Tuesday is normally my closing day, I said okay. Finally, yesterday Naz came to store and asked me to do preclosing on Thursday cos she's short of two partners. After a short negotiation, I said okay.

Summary: despite planning to work for zero days, I am now working four. Congrats Ain.

I blame my inability to say no [See? It doesn't just apply to sinful deeds!] and my desire for $$$ [to maintain my lifestyle].





Daddy and I walked up and down the entire stretch of Orchard Road, just because I wanted to eat Ben & Jerry's, but I still had to go to work. Haha. Wasn't looking forward to work, but it turned out to be pretty okay, judging from the way I was skipping and jumping around, and giggling away with Shermeen.

There was this group of three cute guys hanging around trying to decide what to buy. No, they were really cute. Espesh this particular one who looked macam-pernah-nampak, but I attributed it to him looking like Hello Kitty [wow, digging up old nicknames!]. Well, needless to say, I was quite happy to be taking POS.

But the magic blew away when Hello Kitty [the appointed spokesperson for the group] asked, "Kak, sini ada Pure Vanilla tak?" HELLO! Who can spot how many mistakes were made there?

1. Calling me "Kak". Only certain people can get away with it. REALLY uber-hot guys. And my friends, of course.
2. Thinking we're Coffee Bean. I mean, if you wanted Coffee Bean, there are actually TWO within breathing distance.

But you know. Obviously I couldn't snap at him or anything. So I just handled them as usual, but like I said, the magic was gone.

It was much later that I found out that they're Young Lions [or something similar, I really don't follow the soccer scene].

Thank you Tasha and Shermeen for letting me leave early. Needs the sleep balls.


Finally. At the carpark there was this seemingly-cute dude, also on a black KR, also wearing the same helmet, also an FU-plate, ... Macam soulmate gitu kan? HAHA.
