Sometimes, I just feel like quitting everything.
Quit my job.
Quit the people around me.
Leave this house.
And move away to another place where no one knows me and I don’t know anybody.
A decent place far far away from here. A place to just start over.
And the only communication would be a postcard from me saying, “Yes, I’m still alive.”
I wonder if anyone would even bother.
Maybe my dog who comes into my room every morning would.
Think I would just stick back to this font..seeing so many people being comfortable with it.
Well, after almost a week of not blogging, I should be able to stretch this post a little more than my usual.
First of, for those who were checking my blog for updates, I’m back and I have finally updated.
For those who come back occasionally, I send you the same greeting.
For those who don’t like the way I blog, TOO BAD. I’m back.
Well, the whole festivity joy started for everyone even before the actual date of CNY. The whole experience of CNY shopping, getting together with friends and even for some, house decorations. It’s a full process that makes the actual day enjoyable and happening.
Well, first of for this post is, updating the things that I did and bought leading to Chinese New Year.
For the past few weeks, I find myself clubbing and drinking more than I usually do. Maybe it’s because of my friend who gets me into Bar Celona for free and drinks at good prices. But still, the fact remains that I’ve upped my activity of going to clubs. And more to follow. Not good? Hmmm…depends.
Next, material things that I’ve gained so far.
Firstly, I bought ONE t-shirt for CNY. It’s bright red, feels cooling, light, has 3 logos on it and costs RM250.
If you haven’t guessed it already, yes, I bought an MU jersey. I love the team and I love the jersey design.
Next on my list, this item was a real dilemma.
With the small bonus I had, I had to choose to either get the phone I was drooling over for the past few months or to get this item.
But then, I decided to split my money up – some for my family, some for savings (vacation, here I come!!) and the rest, to get this item.
I’m talking about a watch.
I liked the design, less bothered about the price. It’s a bargain if you ask me because Fossil watch designs are beautiful.
For those of you who think only Tag Heuer or Omega or Tissot watches with their overblown prices have good designs, think again.
That wasn’t all.
As if God was watching over me and heard my wants, He decided to bless me with the following item that I purchased. (although I eventually still have to PAY for it)
As if by total coincidence that I decided to go to Summit on that fateful day. As if by coincidence (although I’ve already given up all hopes of buying that item) that I decided to walk into Sony Ericsson in Summit to take a last glance at the phone on my wish list. And as if by total coincidence, I stumbled upon a promotion which includes one for my phone and it allows me to pay by Monthly Instalments, a day before the promotion end, which is 2 days away from CNY.
How much more coincidental can that be?
Yes, folks. I finally got it. I finally got my C905.
Loved the phone’s functions. And its 8.1MP camera. It’s like carrying a compact digital camera in your pocket. Literally.
It IS bulky but I DON’T CARE.
The last few pictures were taken with this phone and so are the following few.
*No, the phone picture and the Lion Dance picture weren’t taken by this phone. Don’t kid yourself. It’s not a DSLR. The Lion Dance is in Vancouver. And I couldn’t have taken the phone’s own picture either.*
On Saturday, took Evon, my neighbour, out for lunch. To repay my debt for being my fashion model for my photography project back during college. Stalled my payback for almost a year now, so I figure, what better time to repay her than before the New Year.
Went to Paddington House of Pancakes in One Utama. Food wasn’t bad but pricey. Good to say it was well worth it.
Sunday. Reunion dinner for most Chinese families. But mine was almost always unusual every year.
Last year, we decided to have TGI Fridays instead of Chinese food. And this year, we wanted to have Japanese.
Plan foiled. Went to Tony Roma’s in Pyramid instead.
I tried their Ribs Combo (which comes with my order of a Tony Roma’s Sirloin steak) and it was great. Wasn’t enough to fill my stomach but it was satisfying.
Picture a little dark cuz I didn’t opt for the flash
Mum ordered a salad which could turn anyone who THINKS eating salad will make you slim, grow fatter than having a steak meal.
It looked as if they served my mum her salad right out of the mixing bowl.
The total costs of RM200plus was a decent price for a 6 pax table. Could’ve cost much more to go to a Chinese restaurant, where they inflate the price several times over because of the occasion. And I would still NOT be full.
The rest of the night is filled with cleaning and preparing our home for the festival.
HAPPY CHINESE “NIU” YEAR, my dear readers.
*For those of you REAL bananas, “Niu” in mandarin means “Cow”. Capesh?*
Was in One Utama on Sunday with the family for some CNY shopping.
Encountered a very devastating (and indeed funny) incident.
It made a lot of people’s jaw drop open and some even took their time admiring the incident.
It was improper. It was immoral. It was shameful.
A small girl had pulled down that poor cheongsam-wearing doll’s top.
Public flashing is a criminal offence.
Friday. The end of the week.
Went to Subang Parade with mum at night for dinner since she was alone at home.
Such a good son, right. I know.
Self-praise is an international disgrace.
Had a brief dinner at Nandos and mum wanted to walk around and maybe look at some things in Parkson.
We then passed by the main center area nearing Parkson and that is the place where they usually hold special events or really big promotions.
And the promotion that week was by a lingerie brand called Valisere. Sure, sounds pretty normal. Nothing to get steamed up about. Lingerie isn’t really a BIG thing to be hyperventilating over. Except for you perv.
But right behind some fitting rooms, I discovered this….
A mirror. A clear, full body MIRROR.
Why would there be a mirror on the OUTSIDE of the fitting rooms of a female underwear sale event??
They expecting someone to walk out with just their underwear on and admire themselves in that mirror?
Not that I mind.
On Tuesday, got to follow a Sales Personnel to visit a liquor customer. And no visit to a liquor customer is without free booze and nonsense chats.
Immediately after returning to office, went home and straight to the futsal court. And I managed to score some goals that day. And pass out right after.
Nowadays, there is something bothering me about some people who are in a relationship.
Why do people nowadays seem to think that constant arguments and quarrels while in a relationship is an Okay thing? Like as if it has to happen or else it’s not a relationship.
Once or twice is fine. But if it’s constant, then in my opinion, it’s a sign that two people cannot tolerate each other well. What more after they get married, live together and face each other everyday? What would happen to that marriage?
Like I quote a famous blogger, a relationship shouldn’t take so much work. Or else it wouldn’t be called “a relationship”.
Both are supposed to try to understand each other’s wants and needs and have to be able to tolerate each other instead of starting arguments with each other over petty things.
Sticking to someone who treats you like crap and saying “that’s love” is a whole load of bullshit.
Therefore, I find it hard to give relationship advice to some people. It’s just wasting breath and time. They complain and complain but yet, choose to stay in that situation.
Not like that’s the only bloody fish in the whole damn ocean.
This time, I’m going to take my own sweet time to search for another. Random dating maybe?
Screw New Year’s kiss. Screw Valentines Day. Screw weekend dates. I can occupy myself well enough.
Know how I said in another post that I hate the morning traffic?
Well, I'm please to know that they have now deployed more traffic police to ensure that the flow of traffic within USJ and the road heading to the old Subang Airport.
It used to take me about 30 minutes to get to work during rush hour.
Now it takes me about 50 minutes.
What went wrong?? I know in the midst of the new school term starting that traffic will be slightly heavier but this is ridiculous. What's this stupid link between "new school term" and "going to work on a routine basis"?? The only difference is that people who have kids just get up slightly earlier to send their kids off to school. So why is there extra congestion after 7.30am when all kids should already be in school half an hour ago??
Preposterous.
On a related note, I also did mention in my New Year's Resolution that I would TRY my best to get to work on time. Therefore, since I'm a heavy sleeper and one who finds it hard to get up in the morning, nowadays I set my alarm for 6.30am to wake myself up.
That would give me about 20-30minutes of snoozing or rolling around and come 7am, I'd be up and on time for work. Hopefully.
Today, I manage to prep myself up at 7.05am....only to find my sis had entered the bathroom. And all my toothbrush and all were in there. So I had to wait til she finishes.
But she took a whole 25 minutes in the bathroom getting ready and thus, my whole plan of getting up early had been single-handedly screwed up delayed by her.
Boy, was I furious.
And the resulting consequences from that made me exit my house at 7.40am (I only took 10 minutes in the bathroom and 5 minutes to get everything I need and rush out) and I reached work 20 minutes late although I drove at 120kmh.
Yeesh.
And I didn't even get to test my theory out.
On an entirely different note, I'm thinking about changing the font used in my blog.
Does this Century Gothic font look better than the normal Georgia?
Or maybe this Papyrus?
For the past week or so, I've fallen victim to the nasty cough and sore throat bug.
Well, actually more like the sore throat bug invited the cough bug along to play.
The sore throat I had was so out-going that, last week, it even had its friend, Fever, along to join in the fun. And fever only came at night and didn't join the other bugs in the day.
But then, the daily activity for me was still normal. I still went to work and coughed my lungs out. I even had to bail early from my company's New Year celebration dinner. That made me miss out on the bottles of wine and liquor that was there.
The bug even got me down when New Year came around and the whole joyous mood, even now, wasn't around since I spend half the bloody time coughing until I feel like my stomach and lungs were literally going to pop out from my throat.
That totally dampened my whole mood, even when I sat at home. I can't eat good food, can't really go out dating for fear some "innocent" girl might just get caught with these bugs and I can't go gym or do strenuous exercises because the air flow through my body isn't really well and my body really feels down. 5 minutes on the treadmill or on the bike and I'd probably be out of breath and pass out.
But throughout the time I was caught with these nasty bugs, there were those who were around to give me advice, ate my Christmas chocolates, took care of me and even pester me to get well.
First off was my mum who tried her best to get me well, Estela who keeps keeping my lunch menu in-check, my boss Ken for continuously asking me to seek a doctor and bill it to the company and Jinqyi for checking to see if I'm okay and giving me the same advice I gave her when she got sick.
Actually, the whole point of this post was me trying out this Windows Live Writer which I've just installed on my computer. Trying the feel of writing with it instead of blogging directly on Blogger.
Anyhuu..Kthxbai for dropping by.
One bra strap.
