Meet up with May in Leisure Mall at 5.30, our appointed time. I used to be late all the time, but not anymore! *grins* I have resolved to change my bad habits and am proud of myself. Anyways, voon was a wee bit late. So unlike her. But it was only for a few minutes. Pin however, ffk us. To be honest, i felt upset about it but i guess she has her reasons.

The three of us ate at Wong Kok Char Chan Teng and we updated each other and had some light snacks. At almost 7-ish, we went to Old Town Kopitiam. There we met up with Kai Li! ^-^

Kai Li just yum cha-ed with one of our ex-school mates and apparently that girl, whom i shall refer to henceforth as W, has started to smoke and has stopped schooling and is seeing guys for money (or something like that) and has ran away from home. In a nutshell, her life is a fucking mess now. I felt very sad for her as it’s really not her fault. Although she is a bright girl, she has to give up on her education so she can support herself. I guess her parents are not very supportive nor well-off financially. It really pains me to think about her. All of us graduated from the same high school but how different our lives have turned out. I suddenly realised that our lives are actually so normal and the ‘hardships’ in my life are just so inconsequential compared to many other less fortunate people. I fully agree with May that our (meaning me, her, kai li, voon and our immediate bunch of friends) lives are actually pretty simple.

Anyways May was there because she belongs to a board game club that has its gathering at Old Town. Me n Voon tagged along. I guess Kai Li and voon were just there to yum cha but i got interested in the boardgames. Did I mention I love boardgames? haha anyhow, May introduced a boardgame to us, the Settlers of Catan. I was really intrigued! I love these kinda strategy thingeys. The four of us played amongst ourselves as the rest of the members have not arrived. Actually we didn’t really play play. It was a light hearted affair and i truly enjoyed it. Voon and Kai Li kept on cracking jokes hahaha and kah may had the ’wu nai’ expression. It was all so entertaining hahaha hey i think i want to teach funn this game so i can play with her ^-^ funn if u’re reading this, prepare to play board games.

Anyways we soon started playing with the pros. I was with a group that included George, Karan and erm i forgot her name. oopssie. oh i remember now.. it’s Wai Yan. Same name as one of my seniors. George is like this Venezuelan dude who is really really pro and Karan (like Donna Karan) used to play this game with his colleagues everyday. And i just learnt the game an hour ago. swt. as expected after 2 hours, i lost, but i really had fun!

By this time, Kai Li and voon had already left (due to boredom i supposed) so i checked on May. My dear friend had won! Geng huh? hehehe Then the winners battled each other while the losers (me included) played another round too. It is sooo much fun!!! i just love it!

It was almost 12 midnight when the winner’s game was finally over. Kah May almost won… but in the end, Karan and George won.

Anyways i had a great evening. Reli thank May for introducing me to this club! Hope i get to play more boardgames soon! ^-^

At night i couldn’t sleep thinking about W. It could have been me. I am thankful I am me but I feel sad for her too.

 After going to SAB to surprise Ann for her Bday, i went out with my bestie Funn. We hitched a ride on coreen’s cab and then another cab and we finally got to Queen’s Park. I hate not having a car. I wish I am rich. I wish I am rich. I wish I am rich. I want a Honda CRV or a Honda Jazz or a Nissan March or a Toyota Corolla. Hmmm… just noticed my preference for Japanese car makers. Well, we must support our fellow Asians. However, all things said, i wouldn’t mind a big monster Ford. Or an an army tank. No more jams! *smiles*

I digress.

So, we shopped around a bit and then i got sooo hungry we had to eat first. We made the unanimous decision to eat at Sushi King’s. I was amused because Funn still remembers our little joke about the red little baby octopus *giggles* anyways i was really happy because I had good food and good company. I love chatting with Funn… we can talk about all kinds of things. Okay, generally i can talk about all kinds of things with most people but with my close friends, it will seem really fun and meaningful =) anyways. I am so happy Funn understands how i feel about my job ex-job. Undervalued. not to mentioned bored. We talked about lotsa other stuffs too although we were in a kinda malas mood. and The excitement of the whole birthday-surprise thing has started to take its toll on me. But still i remember very excited when i was chatting with Funn. We actually had a squabble last year and did not talk to each other for more than half a year but now listening to her explain things, i still think i’m right but i guess i should have been more understanding then and see things from her point of view. Recently, i have tried to become more empathetic. I hope I will understand and care for my friends more now.

After that it was shopping again. It is fun trying out clothes with Funn haha we tried quite a number of clothes. Funn decided to buy one. But MNG has this offer where if u buy two items you get 50% off both. So we began a frantic search for another clothing. It is so bloody cheap. Maklumlah this place is an outlet store. I wonder why not many people go there. It is so cheap it is unbelievable.

We went to KLCC afters. Made a reservation for Ann’s dinner tomorrow night and also shopped around a bit. The red Zara belt i wanted was too loose. *sulks* i am really upset. I mean they make size-zero clothes (which i can’t fit into) but not a  slightly smaller belt? saw some tops which i like but the cutting is yucky. It makes people look like a log. Same thing at Gap. the cuttings are like so weird and long-ish. I did buy a top tho. I almost bought a cap but was stopped in time by Funn.

but i forgot to buy my gloss. *pouts*

anyways thanks funn funn for a wonderful afternoon! ^-^

It’s Ann’s birthday today!

We (me and Sammie, Ann’s boyfriend) have been planning to surprise her since months ago and today’s finally the day! I’m so so so excited! *giggles non-stop*

I woke up a wee bit late so had to rush around a bit. Luckily the taxi uncle waited patiently outside my house for me to get ready. I had no time to dress up nicely and just had to make do with a blouse and jeans. After making absolutely sure I had brought along the cake and Ann’s present with me, we’re good to go!

After 20 minutes of braving the horrendous Friday morning jam, I arrived at the gates of my alma mater, Sekolah Aminuddin Baki or SAB for short or Sekolah Anak Babi for laughs. Met up with Sammie, Wei Mein and Fook Loy and we started locating Ann so we can proceed with our plan to shock and awe. lol. Okay actually our great plan is just to present her with a birthday cake.

In our haste, we quickly climb up Blok B. However, the lower Six Science classes were in Blok E. Lucky us. *snigger* So it was down 3 flights of stairs and up a four more at Blok E. No wonder the canteen sells such oily and junky food. To offset all those calories burnt by stairs-climbing I supposed. Anyways, I was so scared they will go to recess, leaving us with an empty classroom that I rushed up at top speed. When I arrived at her class I was panting really badly.

Anyhows, Ann was really surprised! ^-^ plan succeeded! Yay! In fact, she was so surprised and touched, she cried. Awww… I really miss her a lot. We don’t usually get to go out often and it’s good to be able to see her and do something nice for her ^^

There were a lot of hugging and cake eating. One of her classmates brought like, 3 cakes!!! And I myself (and 6 others kap funn) bought a Blueberry Cheesecake from Secret Recipe. (which I hope Ann likes)

It is fun being back in school! I love being able to see my old school mates cum best friends again. Plus xbn n kin meng is soo cute kekeke Sometimes I wished I decided to take form 6 haha however I realised some of the form 6 people seemed quiet/anti-social/un-hyper? lol so maybe not.

Anyways, Ann had some nice presents. I gave her a blue and white crystal bracelet. Sammie gave her a ring (actually its like a couple ring, he has one too), Wei Mein gave her a pencil case and her classmates (funn and co) gave her a corduroy jacket.

As they say, you’re only 18 once so I hope Ann Ann had a nice birthday and a wonderful surprise from us ^-^

Funn, if she thinks she is right, can be very persistent and argue till she has the last word. Well, nothing wrong with that, but you can’t impose your views on others all the time. You know you’re right but in other people’s opinion, it might be wrong. Both of you might be right, or both of you might be wrong. My point is there’s really no right or wrong in this world, it all depends on your own opinions, belief system, upbringing etc. That’s my opinion anyways.

I watched Invasion and it scared the shit out of me but it also made me think a little. How can Tom Cruise leave such a gorgeous person like Nicole Kidman? Boys can be so stupid *shakes head*

 Warning! *spoilers ahead*

Invasion is about some alien virus infecting people and trying to transform them into agreeable but feelingless people. They’ll be no more wars, no crime, no rapes but nobody will have their own opinions. Towards the end, Nicole Kidman starts shooting people in self defense. The question is, is trigger-happy Nicole more human or those robot-like humans more ‘real’ and human? Do we really want to be a homogenous bunch of peeps? I think variety is the spice of life so disagreements are not necessarily bad and can spice up your life. Don’t agree? Well, we’ll just have to agree to disagree ^-^

I woke up at exactly 12 pm. Totally my favourite time to wake up because then I can have lunch straight away!

I woke up feeling so glad and happy I could practically burst with all my happiness! No need to force myself to wake up at the ungodly hour of 6 with eyebags underneath my eyes. No need to drag my tired and reluctant body out of my warm and snugly bed. No need to sit through an hour of mind wrenching bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Ahhh… this is the life…

I woke up bathed in the golden sunlight which came streaming through my window and a silly grin right smack on my face. I rolled over to the other side of the bed and sat up, coming face to face with my reflection in the mirror. Yes, that’s what I do the first thing in the morning every day. Look in the mirror and marvel at god’s finest creation *ahem* me. (yes, I am vain) 

However, for the past few days, I couldn’t look at my pretty little reflection as I had to get up early to go to hell a.k.a. my office. Okay I exaggerate. My office is actually very nice but I really hate my job! I hate it with every single atom in my body. And since every human have more than one billion atoms in their bodies, yes, I really really hate my job. It is just so fucking boring and meaningless and unchallenging I often feel like killing myself. And I have only worked there like what, 5 days?

Aaaanyways… this is a happy post so I shall not mention all these unhappy things.

 So I woke up delirious and a bit crazy… until I got a few sms-es that made me blur and slightly annoyed. It’s work related so I shan’t mention it. Remember, no unhappy thoughts! *smiles a big happy smile* but I shall tell you why I don’t have to go to work today (yippee! lucky me) ^.^ okay actually I do want to go to work so I can settle things with my boss but still… yay!!!

Anyway I had food poisoning yesterday. *sniff sniff* It was utterly excruciating and had me in pain for the entire night. Buuut… I shan’t bore u further about the details.

So back to my story.

I practically skipped down the stairs and plop! landed on the sofa. I love this day! *smiles* Yes! A bunch of newspapers on the table. Reading newspapers is my favourite thing to do in the morning, if you don’t count sleeping. So anyway, I flipped through the newspapers, read some interesting things and laughed out loud at the comics. I also looked through the classifieds because I want a car!!! I called up a few but the cars that I am interested in were all sold!!! Ish. *sulks* but no matter, I did managed to get some people who had Kelisas which were quite new and Auto. I really want a Kelisa! I am a stubborn girl so I’ll only have that car and nothing else. So there!

Then Your Royal Highness, lil ol’ me had a mug of porridge water presented to her by the totally adorable and loyal little servant girl a.k.a. the cutest girl in the world a.k.a my little baby sister. Okay she’s not a baby anymore (she’s 10) but she’s forever a baby in my eyes.

Actually, I quite like drinking porridge water because it reminds me of all the times when I was little, and sick… then I will be given porridge water and everyone will fuss over me. However, eating plain white porridge is a different thing altogether. So although I am thankful for having food poisoning (although it is extremely torturing) because I don’t have to go to work, faced with the prospect of gulping down tasteless white porridge I started resenting my food poisoning. I wanted to ignore my bowl of porridge but just seeing those cute little grains of rice, sitting quietly in the porridge water, patiently waiting to be eaten by me, I felt sorry for them. Nonetheless they soon got cold and had to be fed to the monkeys. Those poor rice. I’m so sorry.

So I, in order to get some proper food, decided that my food poisoning is cured (although my tummy hurts like shit) Once rid (mentally) of that awful malady, I was once again a normal member of the Loi family and thus entitled to normal, delicious food! Hurrah! Lunch was Mien Sien in Miso broth. Cool huh my kakak? She created that dish leh!!! *bangga*

The rest of the day was spent helping my sister with her artwork and ordering her around to fetch things for me. (and got scolded by my grams for doing that *sulks*) I am so glad that I can spend time with my darling little sis!

I also chatted on the phone with Ai Lyn ^-^ *happiness* just hearing her voice and listening to her problems and her listening to mine makes me feel happy and light. Because voicing my upsetness to a good friend just makes all my problems disappear. Plus, I went on a test drive! *excited!* it was on one of the Kelisas that I am interested in. I did initially planned to bake some cookies too but I was too lazy. So I just watched TV.

Omigod. I love today. So typical yet so happifying. I love my home. I love my family.

And dinner was asparagus and scallops, (one of my favourite dish!) and instead of rice I opted to eat the leftover Mien Sien from afternoon because it is one of my favourite foods. Okay I have a LOT of favourite foods haha hmm… no wonder I’m so fat. *pouts*

As I sit here on my bed after a warm shower, blogging and watching TV I just feel so satisfied.

I think I want to be a housewife.

p.s. but not the kind who does cleaning and mopping floors. Don’t want to ruin my manicure now, do we?
