4ty - Nine

Mommy turned 49 on Saturday and well, I nearly quarrelled with her. haiz.

But anywayz, the day took a turn for the better after I actually made my way to meet her from town.

Its the first time in a really really long time that I had no idea what to buy for her bday. Well, not that I didn't know what to buy for her.. its just that I didn't have the time to get it for her and I was worried I would go beyond my monthly expenditure budget.

The thing that I have in mind is this below:

Prada spectacles frame which just came out last week. I saw it in a Mag. LOL! But I was too busy with some other things (which I can't recall what a the moment) that I keep forgetting to go check it out at the Optical shop.

But anywayz, I was in town with Iggie after YCP and we went around looking for a Braun Buffel cardholder which my mom has been eyeing or rather telling me, about it for the past few days. Which we failed to find btw.. and by the time i was suppose to go off to meet my mom, I have yet to get anything.

I was so damn guilty. I mean, last year, I went in search of her watch and drove Rohaidah crazy before i actually settled on the Marc Ecko.

So met mommy at Vivo for dinner and before we actually arrived at Mussel Guys, I remembered the Optical shop beside M.A.C. So yeah, endded up dragging my mom there..

I went in there and started ordering pple ard pls.. *Sheesh* I have to stop doing such things.. It is actually disturbing.

I went in and i was like, Do you have the Prada specs frame that just came out last week?

Sales man: Oh, I'm sorry... but its sold out..
me: Wat the...!! What about Versace or Fendi?
Salesman: We don't carry the thick frames for Fendi and we don't carry Versace here...
Me: -.-"

Then i looked around and I was like.. what about the Gucci? I mean you must at least carry a Gucci? The one that looked alittle like Prada but it came out in about 4 different colours?! There's a Dior one that came out same time as the Prada also rite?

I made my mom tried on the Tag Haeur which I made Mel tried on a few years ago. It is still the same price btw. lol!

I nearly bought the Dior one but my mom was going on and on about how expensive it was... And there was this YSL one that was really sweet but I refuse to allow my mom to settle for the black one and force the white one instead and she decided to just stick to the Gucci. LOL!

Soooo.. this is what my mom got for her 49th Birthday! lol! i think its cute. lol!!

But ultimately, thank god my mom liked her Birthday present.

New Zealand in November?

Tempting... but... ARGH!!!!!!!!!!

Only both of us and thats the shocker news that i've received and I haven't even hung out with the person in question for the longest times and I haven't talked to the person in question for the longest times as well... When i say long.. I mean long...

Like, say, about 3yrs plus!?

ish.. how?!?!?!??! 13 days in New Zealand with a total stranger... Ok ok.. Not a stranger... but a stranger nevertheless... you know what i mean!

But the costs is reasonable and the destination and activities are just plain tempting. hmmmm.

*ponders*

Wiggles Out The Door!

I'm currently waiting for the clock to strike 6. The week seem to be passing faster than expected. I mean especially for someone like me.. who has been, well, staring aimlessly at cthe comp and looking thru random webbies...

Things been odd on my side. Seriously. I've ranted somewhere else but here. I hope the other 2 wont mind the word vomit that they will face there. I really truly apologize for it. But I really couldnt take it anymore.

I wanna watch Step-Up 2: The Streets.
Don't ask me whether I've watched it already or not.. Coz i will act as if I didn't hear you even if I've already watched. Coz even if i have... I wanna watch it again. lol! If you think the girl is hot in the poster, think again... With the absence of photoshop in the movie... The girl is not exactly what I would call hot. lol!


Her figure is something I would want. Not too toned, not too skinny... Just nice. I like.. Now why didn't I just continued dancing previously? Tsk. Nad nad...

Seriously. If dancing in the rain is this hot... They should just make open air clubs. Its less stuffy and dancing like that, in that kinda environment... I swear it'd make me high. Higher than how I already am to such music on dance floors... Wahahaha~~

And does anyone know where sells white leggings?! sheesh. lol!

Ok its 6... i'm logging off. I'm too free and i think i'll go walk ard.. muahahaha~~

Leaning to the left... or right??

And here I am once again at this point of my life... where I have to choose over 2 new males that I've been checking up on.

My previous affair, did not last very long. It lasted for about a month plus before things just dissolve into thin air. I did not really enjoy it very much... It was a mismatch rite from the very start. But then, nobody could stop themselves from getting attracted to a good looker.

He was lagging and the voice quality sucked. For clarity, I had to constantly be on my handsfree set. I thought I was the unlucky idiot.. But I just recently found out that a friend of mine (whom I met at a class reunion) was still stuck to the same idiot and complained to me that he deserved to be dumped. She, however, assured me to thank my lucky stars that mine went up in smokes and that I do not have to deal with it anymore.

We both mutually agreed that we will not be seeing any of more of those things from the same agency.

And by this, I meant the affair i had with my SAMSUNG E840 that I bought some time last june.

Right now, I'm torn between 2 good lookers.

MOTOROLA V9 (Mahogany) & LG VIEWTY - KU990 (Black)

The LG Viewty specifications win hands down of course with its 5mpg inbuilt digital camera and design similar to the Iphone as compared to the Motorola V9 2mpg inbuilt digital camera and design that stayed through to its Rzr family - classic phone.

To assist me i've read the reviews from various websites.

I guess people have more to say about the LG Viewty (read: 5pg review on nearly every webbie) as compared to the Motorola V9 (read: 2pg review on some webbies)

I WILL NOT BE CHEATED ANYMORE!

http://www.letstalk.com/reviews/reviewdtl.htm?pfId=1361&nopud=1

I seriously need help in choosing this time round. My mom's partner thinks that LG Viewty will be a more feminine phone as compared to Motorola V9 due to its design...

But I know for a fact that Motorola phones are more durable... Judging from my previous phones and my mom's current V3 that is currently in my hands. LG phones are equally durable too... but the LG Viewty (judging from its design) is rather questionable.

But the reviews seemed to be siding towards LG Viewty.

The only bad thing i'm getting out of the LG Viewty reviews are the lagging shutter speed and how some are not used to the scrolling mechanism.

But that is really personal preference no?

Comparison: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone2=2070&idPhone1=1990

The LG Viewty is definitely more expensive that the V9. But at the same time, Singtel's price is not as high. It is still considerable.

ARGH! how?

help.

Its been a long weekend.

Wasn't up to many things other than watching movies, dvds, sleeping, going out. And i'm having terrible a pimple breakout.

And tomorrow, its back to work all over again. BOO HOO HOO~~

oh well. What to do? I can't have everything... can i?

Watched Japanese Drama over the weekend.. *wiggles eyebrow* hehehe.. yes azi, I still can't get over the character, Izumi Sano!

*screams* IZUMI-KUN! *screams* And even mommy agrees that he looks like Jonathan Leong. WAHAHAHAHAHAH!! but of course, much better looking than Jon. lol~

I don't know why but i seem to relate to the weirdest shows. I'm serious! LOL!!

And an entire paragraph stayed inside my head the entire weekend.

I want to laugh when you laugh
I want to have fun when you have fun
I want to smile when you smile
I want to be there even when you're sad

Love. You have know idea what the possibilites and what you're capable of doing, till things happen. It really is a powerful thing huh?

---------------------------------------

Others were busy the whole week. I stayed away from my phone to avoid disturbing people. And yet, my fingers constantly composed msges that remained unsent in the end.

Its been more than a week? Since we last met.

Only god knows, the feelings within.

I miss you so much and I surprise myself, at how much within a short period.

---------------------------------------

I'm off to bed. There's really nothing else to blog about and i houldl send myself to dreamland before I cannot wake up later! lol!!

*bounces off to bed*

Bloop~ And the world goes round and round.

Its been Nausea and Giddy spree on my side.

Been nauseous the past few days as though there wasn't enough oxygen being circulated in my brain. My world was dissolving! Seriously. As if my lack of energy and nutrients circulating in my blood wasn't enough, Cab drivers need to be able to drive properly now. Some of them have been going from bad to worse. The jam brakes, the clutches - drives me crazy man!

I can go from just tired or feeling alittle unwell when i stepped into the cab to trying to stop myself from puking by the time I stepped out of the cab. And i seriously hope that whoever that might drive me in the future would seriously have better driving skills or I would just recommend an Auto car.

On Monday, I was already having the worst headaches that i've ever faced due to the ultra long Board Meeting (I need to be ready for the next one, its gonna be longer.), straining my ear to hear the Directors (I'm gonna make the company buy a tape recorder since the Directors already think they're the only people in the room), and staring at my laptop for 3hours str. and sitting in one of the most confusing Board Meeting.

And I had to rush for training after that.

So on top of having a really long day, I had a sucky driver as my cabbie. By the time I reached UBI from BUKIT MERAH, I was ready to run to the nearest longkang and collapse.

Crawled up the stairs to my Coach's place and just sat there stoning and trying to focus on my surroundings. I had the worst training ever even though I lasted throughout (without any post training effects).

I was nauseous.

My world wasn't focused, everything was a blur and I was in automode.

Sparring with the guys that night was a serious chore. I was swaying back to my starting point and my reaction was lagging by about 1-2seconds. It took me 3cans of 100plus and 1 can of red bull to make me feel alittle better.

That night... was torture.

Anywayz,

One of my colleagues' boyfriend has terrible driving skills too. Trust me. I went from fine... to wobbly by the time I stepped out. And I will always try to find excuses to politely decline the offer of being sent to somewhere now. lol!

On the other hand, doing minutes is a pain in the ass. For high and rush, I've been surviving on Mentos mints & Coke Light. I hate both btw. So, Go figure!

My current take at work.



I'm a shopaholic. Always have been and seem to be even more now. Need to control my temptations. But i realised...

But at the rate i'm shopping, i think a psychiatrist might be cheaper for me. lol! Since I am embarrasingly broke rite now and its about a week from pay day... which I will most probably be on the verge of being broke after i've paid off my bills.

Gosh.

Screenings & Coming Soons.

There's nothing that interesting on Sistic nowadays. I wonder why. Last yr was like.. WHOA~ i have my face plastered on my comp screen every month to check out what's new in the theatres! this yr.. mcm.. HAIZ!

However, there's one show/dance/movement performance that caught my eye.

1,000 camels - 21 & 22 March 2008 ($35 - Esplanade Theatre Studio)

Talk about eye catching title rite? lol!


SYNOPSIS

“An expedition with 1000 merchants was sailing to Singapore in search of 1000 matrimony proposals. They brought along 1000 camels as part of the marriage proposal…”As the long journey wears on, the number of camels slowly decreases and the whirling Indian Ocean mysteriously mutates the surviving camels into a new breed of creatures...

1000 Camels is a surreal depiction of the intercultural "marriage" and transition of Arabic culture in Singapore over the past years. Collaborating with Egyptian musician Tarek Abdallah playing live for the performance, choreographer Elysa Wendi explores the possibility of mapping of Arab Street in search of a new cultural emergence. As the story unfolds, this imaginative dance performance will keep you on the edge of your seat with anticipation!

-----------------

Should i watch it? hmmmm... Its on the 21st and 22nd of March.

----------------

OOOOOO. i wasn't aware Siti was having a concert this coming Friday. This is interesting. There was nothing on about it and no one was going on and on as well.. hrmmm... Wonder if Datok K will be there. I wonder how he looks like up close. Must be better than the pics rite? lol!

Eh hally, wanna see how Datok K looks like? LOL! i think you would rather watch the 1000 Camels with me rite?

----------------------------

27 - 30 March - Giselle ($26 - Fort Canning Park)

its a ballet performance! I WANNA GO! I should stop looking at Sistic. I'm already broke. lol!!

---------------------------

Pinocchio's Complex - 3-5 Apr 2008 ($35 - Drama Centre Black Box)

Seems like its interesting enough to watch. It takes inspiration from the original story, which was a much darker story as compared to the ones published by Disney. tralallala

Maybe i will watch this one. Anyone wanna watch it with me? Mellllyyyyyy!

------------------------

And i have a ton of newly added movies to watch into my list. Muahahahahah!!

Ruffle my feathers,
and prepare to die.

I'm sorry if your inadequate ability to hear properly limits your level of understanding. However if it inadvertently insults my intelligence level, then save it missy. If i were blatantly showing off my lazy bone to the world, an MC is the lamest piece of crap that I'd use.

Especially when my explaination that you caught and heard right was that I have informed my superior of my whereabouts this morning in advance. If it slips out of his head, then, apologies for any inconvenience caused. There might be a communication breakdown on both our part. If today slipped out of your head, trust me, a repeat of it will definitely have an outcome worst than today.

And yet, you sarcastically replied "how can you foresee in advance that you were going to take MC?" That my dear, was the insult I was referring to. Do you think I was that stupid to have such a cheapass excuse? The least you could do was ask me again where did i say i went. Not assume that you heard it right the first time round.

Assumption. A dangerous thing to do, ain't it? If this happens again, she would receive more than just a death stare that i've learnt and mastered from him.

Now now, Let's see... There is someone else that really need to be taught a lesson. If working here changes a person into the majority I've seen here. Then its really sad. I thought you were more than that. Much much more.

Dont you know what you are? Or suddenly that is the norm now? Especially when you're in the environment, surrounded by all these? Expecting everyone to be nicer, more polite, helpful. And yet, you are turning into the exact same people that you've been complaining to me abt daily. Wow. Then you try to make things fine again by stating that you've had a long week.

Hello? So did i. My grandmother is not getting any better. But do you see negative vibes spilling out of me?

Suddenly, its all about you now isn't it? Careful now. You might just regret that. Curt and polite replies are what you're getting today. But tomorrow? It might not stay the same. I love a variation in my days. Hope you'll be able to like it too.

XOXO
Countess Dee

Just when I just changed my mind and told myself... to just give this job another chance.

THANKS AZI!
Coz, i read her blog and realise that i'm one of those that she tagged for her 10 random things post.

1. I just got back from tournament in KL over the weekend. How'd i do? I did good actually. I was suppose to bring back a medal... But hey.... there's others superior powers beyond my control. Like how the referee sees things and award the points. I was leading goddamit. BY A WHOLE LOAD OF POINTS. Even though, there was no way the other girl could have won me. I was quite certain of it. I was pissed and disappointed. I WANTED A MEDAL!

2. I've been shopping. ALOT. I blame it on stress and my sudden urge to get more stuff to wear to work. I blame it on a few factors. lol! I've overspend this month and by the beginning of this coming month i'll be broke. LOL! really! I've contributed a whole load to my mom maybank points just within the first mth of receiving the Visa Platinum. She better not confiscate it. lol! I'm gonna be a Debt collector once my credit card bill comes. Ard 300bucks on the card isn't mine. lol! yup yup.

3. I got scolding by various people for going to KL. Reason? They missed me. *faints*

4. The guys were great. They calmed me down alot after the competition. Morgan didn't even dare to come near me the moment i ended my bout. I literally plastered on a smile to show my sportsmanship and shook hands with my opponent when in actual fact I couldn't even smile anymore. I was tooo disappointed. Too pissed and just very down.

5. A year has passed and suddenly things hit home for me. Funny ain't it? Is this how its suppose to be? Not complaining but its funny nevertheless. It hit home at the weirdest of times and place. It still feels as though it just started. Amazing. Really amazing. Is it normal?

6. I went to UAE Embassy just now only to find out that I needed to go to Academy of Law first. So off i went and made my way to City Hall. Braving the humidity and the traffic of that area I finally reached Supreme Court. I was literally melting. The best part, the weather's cloudy! annoying. But I decided to drop by my previous workplace after my ex-colleagues decided to bug and beg me to drop by. lol! So i went up. amazing really. But i refused to go in... due to certain reasons of course. so they were hugging me out there, when Denise stepped out of the lift. And the following conversation took place:

Denise: HEY!
Me: *smiles* Hi!
Denise: Did you pass by Sup Court just now?
Me: Yeah. I was from SAL. Why?
Denise: OH OK! it was you then! I saw someone walking pass and i was thinking to myself that... Oh wow, this girl look like Alicia Keys with the hair and the outfit and all... And now I realised.. It's you!
Me: Ohh.. hahaha.. thanks. *peace sign*

I swear that made my day. lol!

7. Tmr will be a long day. Will be going to SAL after lunch to collect the stuff and run off to MFA to get more things done. Then after that I need to go to Somerset for something. Might reach earlier than my appointment. lol! And then I'll be seeing my dearest darling honey sweetie pumpkin baby pie! OK I think alot of pple will not allow me to forget that entire sentence! LOL! i didn't know i could even put that in the same sentence. lol!!!

8. I'm not gonna be able to watch P.S I LOVE YOU! SO SAD! Nvm... I shall go and buy the DVD and will force pple to come over to my house and watch it with me! =) We shall have a DVD spree k?? heeee...

9. I was nagged at for not loosing enough weight. ANNOYING! So from now onwards, they have decided that I will have to write down every single thing i eat and they will review it every 3 days! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shall think positive thoughts. But seriously! Its hard. It reminds me of school all over again! haiz.

10. I look at my lifestyle and there are times that I get worried that I will not be able to take care of myself in the future. The way I'm living rite now. I'm not some rich spoilt brat. But i've been pampered. That I don't deny. Some of the things I do or own will be considered as extras to others... But its been that way for very long. Its just been my way of life. Deena has a worst problem then i do. LOL! And then I want that degree even more. Argh!

-----------------------------------------

If i were to have to pick 10 people to do this 10 random point posts.. it'll have to be...

Halimah, Suk Ching, Shahdon, Shikin, Mastura, Mel, Syazana, Huda, Becky and whoever who wanna do it. LOL!

FISH OUT OF WATER

That is currently the state of mind i'm in right now. I've no idea what's going on. Ever felt so incompetent? Well.. WELCOME TO MY WORLD THEN. Ever felt as though someone has made you seem so incompetent? Then, I'm welcoming you once again to my world.

Here look, I've rolled out the red carpet, photographers of magazines are invited, limousines to send you and pple around to witness your arrival. How grand... How warm...

Suddenly, you realise what you've been doing have been your work constantly and well... not well informed of alot of things. And right now, its all you can do to survive on a daily basis. Its like as though you've just started all over again. But only difference is that, you didnt and pple have expected more out of it.

I'm like a fish out of water and I'm trying very hard to survive. Harder than usual. Not in a very good state of mind and i'm looking for an outlet.

Really on verge of screaming and tears

Shredding into bits & pieces

Rite now, I just feel like strangling someone, biting something or rather someone and just like abusing something... i'm serious...

I feel like screaming also.

I knew it was coming. I swear. I'm serious! This is annoying! I feel like killing things.

SIAK AH! I'm currently so geram rite now. Dah pergi jauh jauh pun lagi menyusahkan aku sak! GERAMMM NYERR!!!!!!! Babi ahhhhh...

I have fencing later. How perfect rite? Someone's gonna get beaten up bad by me. Go figure.

I just need to call someone later.. but rite now, i cant even complain... my batt's flat. YAYNESS!
Surprises...

Met Mel on Saturday... Have already told him about Saturday since 2 months ago if i'm not mistaken and told him to make himself free... He, on the other hand, have no idea what's happening.

It was a belated birthday celebration for him since i did not get to see him during his birthday... and didn't expect to see him during that period.. but i did... BUT, i already planned for saturday so i literally ignored the fact that i've not given him his birthday present. lol!

It was fun planning it.... but efficiency plays a huge role in all of it... including your friends.

Planning something like that while you're working, i swear is not the easiest thing around. I was so worried that I will not complete some stuff in time lor..

PARANOID i tell you. lol!

But it was fun. No doubt. And to tell you the truth, very memorable... lol! The process and the day itself. Well at least for me, i know it was... =)

There are just some things that I still amaze myself with. Seriously. I'm not exactly the most romantic human being around... Well, at least you know, not in this department... hehehhe... But I've found joy in pampering him... lol!

I'm really grateful that he still went through some of the things I planned... Especially that one particular thing. I felt so guilty throughout that... I wouldnt have mind if he said no before entering it. I'm still glad I get to go on it with him... It was priceless.

I just hope he did enjoy the whole day... =)

I was literally grinning from ear to ear the whole day.. WAHAHHAHA! I think he must have believed that his girlfriend was a chesire cat in her previous life. lol!

Gave him his birthday present. I tell you... His first reaction... My paranoia just disappeared and evaporated into thin air. lol!

Thank god! But he told me he's not gonna use it... Tooo precious he says...

(-,-)"... I got no comments lor. If everything I give so precious, then how like that? *faints*

-----------------------------------------
We're like kids all over again. Smiles. Laughter. Running around. Teasing.

Showed him a part of my world.

I love you... Mel.
