Indulging in reminiscence

Went grocery shopping after work and had a time. A time of laptop bag dragging and vegetable choosing.

I was in a fix - fresh dory fish or frozen fish fillet?

BAH! When was the last time I cooked?

Considering the previous Tapas receipe I tried, I shudder to think if I still remember how to light the stove.


On another note - Sometimes, some things have a funny way of making you feel a complete prat, and even the best thoughts fall foul of some cosmic emotion from time to time.

The best thing to do? Go to Sleep.

Having very little else to do of a weekend

The high afternoon Saturday - my lazy bones in bed, feet wrapped in socks.
Not something I would usually approve of, but I got complacent in bed. Think: Books, In-room movies, Napping and... napping. Yeah.

Just finished Pretty Woman - for the 3982th time... My most favourite film, second best to none (no matter how much I love Johnny Depp and Pirates)
Comes the tiny problem I have because of Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, I am a true-blue believer of romance.
Hahahahhahhahahahahaha.

Pity the neglect of your girlfriend does not warrant getting roses or a romantic picnic in the gardens. JKN is working today, attacking the unfinished load storm, cracking his brains at the ready. I'm just vegging out in front of my laptop,... sipping tea. How to complain?

Referring back to movies, I caught You dont mess with the Zohan last night together with Fan, Han and JKN.
Fan and Han are an excellent couple - being water that floats my soap, I was pleased to know we would all be spending time together. Dinner, idle banter, movie, chips, laughter. Enough to make my Friday night I believed.

Alas, none of these happened (except the walking to the theatre together part)

JKN had to attend a Mess after work. It was a mess alright. For me. PUN YES.

In short - we were gonna meet Fan and Han late; probably just in time for the show.
How annoying.

He picked me up at my house. Looked at me and asked if I was upset.

"No." I said.
But we both knew what "No" meant. (Yes.)

So anyhow, he dropped me off to find a parking lot while I fled to pass the tix to Fan.
I did all reasonable reasonings and apologies.. so Fan being the great best friend she always is (boot licking if she reads my blog), is not one bit upset (or so i gather from her tone).

"Dont be pissed with JKN... remember Christmas? I was pissed with Han too." Fan whispered.

"Oh, hahhahaha. I remember." I said.

24-Dec-07. Fan was duper late for our Christmas party. All for that Han was running some errands, delivering presents ahoy, being Santa .. or something.

Hahahahahahhahhahahahaha.
Okayy. I was heartfelt.

"Han! You're like JKN too. You caused upset during Christmas!" I declared.

"He wont remember.. He never remembers anything. Even what we had for dinner.. Haha." says Fan.

Han pauses.

"I know! The first Christmas!!" he cried.

Wrong!! HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Han and Fan spent 2 Christmases together. He was late for the first but I am well-aware she was upset with the second.
Hilarious? It is.

"Where is JKN? We should wait for him." Han said.

"Let's throw his ticket away. Let's not wait for him." I replied.

Giggles and laugher - Fan, Han and I.
They do know I do not own such guts. And/ or that I'll never do that to anyone. Or him for that matter. (Such is a kind me Hahhahahha)

JKN came in abit; I wanted to laugh but quickly fixed up the classic "I-am-mad-at-you" face.
Well. It worked.
He apologised and whee - Not soggy and grumpy anymore.
I have my sudden burst of oddities I admit... But I come back pretty fast if you know me :)))

I am enthusiastic to meet up with Han and Fan next week.
Yummilicious.

A Quick Minutiae...

1) I love Fan, Pea, Shas, Pingb. Imagine not having them in my life. I dont want to imagine.

2) It is the vintage friends-meet-up frenzyyy. I met up with Yanting - a short chunk of the night but awfully sweet. We had a manicure together, dinner and stroll roll along the streets. Kick ass.
I'm looking to meet with Lily very soon too. :))

3) Of Tennis, Topspin Forehead and Backhand, Volleys, Power Serve and Longer rallying. Last week I learned to my chargin that my positioning to the ball just isnt right. PRACTICE!!

4) I'm inspired. By Nadal. Completely by his looks only/ actually.


Eep. The Boyfriend's back.
I will be renting some DVDs over curry for dinner.
To thank myself in the most obvious way for spending little money (not shopping) today, I get to choose the movies I want to watch.
COOL.

Still Intact

Secondhand Serenade
Fall For You


fall for you - secondhand serenade

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Damsel in distress

I lied about posting my Hong Kong photos didnt I.
I'm lazy isnt it. I'm imperfect.
Just so you know, this blog wasnt made to be perfect.
To pits be perfection. Just for clarification, is it my blog or is it my blog?
YAYYY.

Tonight, in an interesting, if unlikely, turn of events (I dont ever meddle with cables, plugs, or wires), I crashed my tv right on the living room floor - screen facing down.

It should be a rough evening.

My mum screammmmed at me. Good grief. I was hurting - last finger swollen and three cuts down my wrist, and she was still screaming at me.
My starhub cable box wasnt working,.. and in my defence I needed to watch tv!!

This must be, if nothing else, the best time to whip out the anointed olive oil Pastor prayed over yesterday. Save the crashed TV!!
Apparently having dropped the gargantuan tv and then bringing a bottle of O oil (to dab TO IT) isnt going to make my mum very happy... well. you get my point.

Dropping the tv was never my plan but dabbing anointing oil sure is.. Gawd u should see the look on my mum's face - Hahhahahahhahahaha
I did it as quickly as I could without her looking - save the explanation for later -The tv needed healing..

Gah, it's definitely God. There is no denying it. Hallelujah!
Television is back. Come, focus the square eyes again. :))

I also want to tell you about Camero, Oh Camero.
I love cameras, always have done. The most expensive thing I have ever wanted to lay my hands on - even a diamond ring couldnt come close - (Well at least not for now) was a DSLR 5D.
It's my something-wanting whose bling is hidden, mysterious, sensual, secret - that I cant say much of..
I just love it.

Which cruelly reminds me.
When a photography expedition is said, it should be done; not held on to like an empty promise to your kid for Mcdonalds.
In my defence (once again!) ..hehehhhe, I am not the sort who goes on an expedition only when I feel like it. Even when I'm stressed out, antagonised.. I am always up for a "Dont think, just shoot" time.
I just happened to be at this I-only-want-to-shoot-with-a-dslr time..

Whee, I just invented an excuse to buy one :D

Every trip needs photos, right?

Further proving that I cannot handle having little sleep (I fell asleep last night loading photos).. may I please direct you to the Facebook, where a more decent album is served?
I'll complete this soon :))

See it for yourself

At home tonight, now - Shoulders hurting from carrying an oversized backpack and dragging an overstuffed suitcase around the airport last night (12 midnight: Morning to be exact!)
It occured to me while in Hong Kong how homesick I could be but dam, the shopping was good. I'd forgotten how much fun shopping is, until I saw what I saw, and bought what I bought. Sweet :))
How a big shopping trip can make such a difference to my enthusiasm to come back home - I almost wanted to book another flight ticket to Hong Kong this weekend. Yeah... exactly.

I am beyond thankful, beyond certain Daddy blessed me with the kiss of travel. Oommph. It feels awesome.

It had been a significant trip for me. Whoever said Hong Kong has nothing to shop, obviously didnt know where to go (I'm dead serious).
Day by day we found more and more incredible places to spoil ourselves silly, perking ourselves up, like icing on the cake - we were ooh-ing and aahh-ing at every item we wanted to buy and that we did buy.. it still amuses me to no end.

I really had a swell time.

Pity I couldnt buy more shoes than I had wished to tho, .... how do I say this without sounding like a bimbo..
Hong Kong is a Shoe-shopping Paradise! (but that's also because I havent travelled to many other parts of the world - but also who cares.)
Note: Wellies! Satisfies the girly instincts and its practicality to walk ankle-deep in mud; I am considering buying one online since there were no sizes left at Gap and in Hong Kong. Ultimate Boo.
Hunter ones are not too bad either.
Actually any wellies would have done. I just need to get one.
