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
