Picture #102 of P. 365

A very unfortunate event happened. It must have slipped out of my mind or the fact that I had way too many things to do on Friday that I completely forgot to snap a picture of the day. *makes stabbing motion with right hand* It was meant to be a picture of the family's luggage all packed and geared up for our trip which commenced the following day.

Since a picture paints a thousand words, sadly..my words don't. Think dull blue luggage bags, most of them two-wheelers and a black one-wheeler. A total of four bags which carried more than enough clothes, in addition to lots of empty space prepared just for goodies and such.

Enough said.
Brief post on CM later!

PS. I just took a huge leap and am on my way to a healthier lifestyle! So excited!

9 July 09 - We ♥ 4Pl ♥ y

May and I went for our first-ever candlelight dinner in a rib-steakhouse called Ribs by Vinity in D'sara Heights; to be more exact, Jalan Setiapuspa. It's located at the back of Victoria Station and Jake's.

Serves excellent ribs !





It was also the launch of BEP's new album : BoomBoomPow in Zouk mainroom where there were promoters handing out 'Boom' and 'Pow' flashcards along with posters and t-shirts.

8 July 2009 - Day Out with Amanda

And my beloved fashionista and shopping-partner-in-crime wasted no time getting up and about around town ( by town, i mean shopping malls) the minute she landed in KLIA.

A spontaneous text sent me cruising to 1 Utama to see Manda...it's been almost 2 years since we last gave each other a big hug but constant communication through MSN all these while have brought us even closer than before.

After spending almost two hours in Topshop *yeah, the miniature one in 1u* we proceeded for tea/lunch in Delicious Cafe.

.end.
Back from ChiangMai!

Sa wa dee Kaaaa ! (God knows how many times I heard that line while in Thailand)

After a very relaxing trip abroad, I'm finally back home in time for results which are due in less than 24 hours time. Eep.

On a sadder note, I didn't manage to buy anything else except for a bunch of earrings, a white lacy top and a Jaspal dress. Best part was, the whole of Thailand was on sale and I didn't go too crazy which was very unlike me.
Guess the hot weather buried all the shopping excitement.

Food was good especially the beyond-delicious Tom Yam soup which was present almost every meal.

I promise to blog more later but right now, all I want to do is go out for mamak with my girls before returning home to crawl into my comfy bed and sleep the night away.
Big, big day tomorrow!

xoxo

Currently reading (and almost finishing with 50 pages or more to go) :-

There's going to be a mini hiatus ( a very very mini one, i promise!) as I am now already done packing for my Thai trip with 3/4 of the entire Goh family (mom's side) and will be leaving before the sun rises, jetting off in that uncomfy red mini airplane to the land of spicy good food and cheap clothing!

Read weather forecasts that the bright yellow sun will be at full force in Chiang Mai for the next few days and I'm looking forward to returning home even more unevenly darker than I already am with bags filled to the brim with goodies!

Had very distraught-ing news on my beloved Flat 28 two days ago which turned out to be a very serious matter indeed and I've been having sleepless nights over it. I won't go much into detail because I've said it over and over again to almost everyone I crossed paths with and am getting really sick of relating the story.
Hopefully this holiday will take my mind off matters and that the housemate will be able to resolve as much as he can in the coming days.

Before jetting off to watch at least one episode of HIMYM, I had a really interesting conversation with Nigel over Mamak with the gang just now.
To (some) boys, video games are like clothes to us girls.
There are always brand new ones in the market and you never get sick of buying 'em but once you're through with the game, you toss it one side and hardly ever *play* it again.
It's hardly economical.
Rhetorical question, why the heck are we girls so addicted to compulsive shopping for clothes, then?!

PS. My thigh got pierced by a stray toothpick and it friggin' hurts

.end.
Earthquake Tuesday (again!)

It's nothing like Haagen Dazs nor my favourite B&J's but give me half price for Swensen's Earthquake and I'm there.

This time it was a much larger group than usual.
While May and I spent 30 minutes waiting for the rest, we couldn't resist killing time with a Banana Split.




We endured the slight rain and headed to Murni's which was just a 2-minute drive round the block for more supper!


...where I shared a Roti Hawaii and a bowl of Tom YumYum with Sheryl. And after that night, it's no wonder I'm having a hard time squeezing myself into shorts and tops which were once a tad bit loose.
Damn.
I'll have to do 100 laps of swimming in daily dosage!

.end.
And one of the billion reasons why I love honeypie May is because she wanted to watch "17 Again" as badly as I did! Watch hunky Zac Efron on screen was exactly what we did on Tuesday night, a very spontaneous decision if I may add. Besides his gorgeous blue eyes and jaw-dropping smile, the movie didn't live up to my expectations and from the corner of my eye, I saw May's eyes fight to keep themselves open. It was good to see Matthew Perry/Chandler on the big screen for once, eventhough he played only one-eighth of the movie.

Week #14-1 of Project 365


Picture #97. Dinner @ Murni's SS2 with the girls! It was both May's and my first time there ever since we returned home. I remember craving for their Claypot Loh Shi Fun sometime ago back in England. Needless to say, craving SATISFIED. Not only that, I had a taste of their Mi Raja, Roti Hawaii and Maggi Goreng and was too full-up for the rest of the night.

4 July 2009

Happy Independence Day, y'all Americans!
For the record, my Saturday night lasted all the way from 7pm til 4 am.
Not that it's very surprising considering...well, that it's me.
But on the plus side, I turned down 3 offers to be out and about on Friday night, stayed home and slept early instead *beams in obedience*

For Mr. Edmund Tan, i kept my 4th of July Saturday night free to celebrate his belated birthday.

After a very long and satisfying birthday dinner in Euro Deli where I had yummy lamb, it was time to get the real party started..for me, that is.

Lin-dy and I left for Aristo at approximately 11pm where we had to endure the silly traffic jam (even at that hour!) which left me cursing to no end.


If you're wondering what the smiley faces Lin-dy and I both have stuck at the most inappropriate place are, *wiggles eyebrows cheekily* they're prove that we're swine flu-free! On the sticker, it reads "Healthy 100%." Zouk's very strict on the people going in and out of the club now.
The bouncers are required to hold this special heat sensor thingy where they test the temperature of each and every person before allowing them entry into Zouk.
I've seen people getting turned down because their forehead was just too hot.
And i totally support this idea!
Keep the H1N1-ians away from us healthy people, thank youu!



30 minutes later, Lin-dy and I left for Cynna Bar/Upstairs




I felt like a table-nomad flittering back and forth between Ally's table and Mund's in Cynna while at the same time texting Ally every other minute.
