Shopping..For A Book!

I was making my way back at Citylink Mall the other day when I thought of going into MPH bookstore for a while. This new arrival caught my eye & I browsed through a bit. Looks interesting so I just bought it almost immediately.



I just read 1/4 of the book & so far...really so good! Entertaining & witty! (Suliana, I'll lend it to you after I'm done, ok? Hehe...)

Vivo Yay!

So, I was saying that I gonna watch movie with Superhero today, right? We caught Casino Royale at GV Vivo & I like the new James Bond! Helmi told me yesterday that the movie was dissapointing but I find it not too bad. A typical 007 kinda movie larr... Hmm, I prefer Daniel Craig to Pierce Brosnan though. He looks more James Bond-ish. Haha! And Eva Green is so hot! The movie was shot mostly around Europe I think. So by the end of the movie, I told Superhero I wanna go to France...err no..maybe Italy or.. Spain? Can I tour the WHOLE of Europe?? Keke!

I stepped into GAP boutique for the first time just now. I already set my eyes on a pair of jeans. Wanted to give it a try but Superhero gave me THE look. Looks like I have to come again with my girlfriends. Hmmmph! Hard to find men who loves shopping. Helmi was talking about his shopping vacation at Thailand & I got the sudden urge to go for a shopping spree soon. Sighs....talk about saving money for my holiday.

Glad to find MAC counter too. My concealer has run out, you see. Happy enough for the day...though it's just one of my needs. :) I got my first Boost! juice too. Jovy & Sze Luan made so much hype about it when they were in Australia. So when Sze Luan told me that they gonna open their first franchise at Vivo City, I was really looking forward to giving it a try. Honestly, it was just ok....those smoothies, blended juices or sorbets that can be found at Raffles City too. Maybe I haven't tried the best one yet. Shall ask Sze Luan for recommendation. :)

UGLY People

I know I'm supposed to update my KL-Genting trip like 2 weeks ago but I've been very busy, or rather lazy! Haha...It has been work, sleep, eat & work again. I just switched on my computer to check my mails really. I try to upload the pics soon but for now, let me share with you my frustrations, at work.

Irritant 1

I was preparing my group arrivals yesterday & I called the tour guide to check on the group's details. She insisted on having complimentary carpark coupon & when I declined, her tone changed! Geez..here I am calling with regards to work, & the agent has to be downright cheepo to argue with me for a carpark coupon?! I would have tried to be kinder & give her the damn coupon if not for her rudeness. So me, being the bitch at times, insist on not giving in & I even sent a mail to the Sales Manager in charge of the group to complain about the guide's behaviour. Hmmph!

Irritant 2

I saw an Indian guest approaching the Reception & he appeared to be somewhat friendly. I greeted & assisted him for his check-in. It turned out to be my most horrible check-in of the day!! He asked for lower room rates, why I'm asking for so much deposit, late check out & the list goes on. It may seem to you that the list of things that this fellow is asking is typical of a guest but....NO. He's TRYING to be smart & then he doesn't look nice anymore. I was very patient yet I managed to give him a few pieces of my sarcasm. Gosh...looks can be deceiving.

Irritant 3

A Chinese lady came by the Reception & wanted to borrow a Sony Erricsson charger. When I asked for her room no. , she claimed she has checked out. When I asked for her name, that was when she blasted at me. "Why do you need my name for? I don't think it's a important! I'm just sitting over there!". So the clever me already figured that she lied about the "checked-out" thingy. I don't feel like lending her the charger & my colleague mentioned that it has been loaned out to another in-house guest. This idiotic woman actually wants me to call THAT guest & ask if she can use the charger!!!! Oh my God...I was so appalled by her bimbotic, rudeness, stupidity...oh whatever. I just stared at her for like 5 seconds & shook my head a bit. Can you believe such creatures exist??! Since she doesn't want to give out her name, maybe it's a terrible one like Betty or Lulu! (Right, Nickole? Hahaha!)

I'm beginning to feel that the nature of my job can be hazardous. Imagine...I handle more than these 3 irritants EVERYDAY? My colleagues & I will not be surprised if we have heart problems or high blood pressure when we get old... We see "ugly" people during the course of our duty but like what Frankie said...."God is fair". I like that. :)

It's my off day later today. Gonna spend time with Superhero. Time to be a sweetie-pie. Hehe~

Dinner at Marche

Work was busy as usual, but fun! My kakis were on the same shift as me & we had a dinner planned after work. We asked Norman & Charlene along too, since they are just on the other side of Marina area. Chose to have dinner at Marche since the restaurant is the most convenient. With the gluttons like us around, photo taking during dinner time was an enjoyable one. Hehe!



The moment we got the seats, Nickole went to get soups, Liah asked for caesar salad & Sue ordered pizza. The morning shifters were rather starved...nothing new.



Charlene has just started work somewhere near Conrad! Good good, that means it's easier for us to meet for more gossip sessions. Oh, by the way, I cut my hair short yesterday. Couldn't stand the split ends already!



Dessert that I shared with Charlene: Banana Caramel crepe with Maple Walnut ice cream. Shiok!



These girls wouldn't share their dessert with anyone. Especially Nickole. Don't even dare to LOOK at her Swiss Chocolate ice cream!



Let's see....we had steaks, barbecued stingray, pizza, caesar salad, rosti, pasta & a round of soups. Not forgetting the sweet delights & great company. All worth it!



Liah & Nickole saw this cute kiddo scratching his butt, just beside our table. Couldn't resist taking a snapshot of it! We were quick, for his mom turned to look at us suspiciously after that shot. Hehe~



We could only meet up with Norman after our dinner at Marche. We accompanied him for his dinner at Marina Square, & amidst all that, more gossips & stories that we all update one another. I miss the days when he was still at Conrad! If you must know, he "trained" me for all those bitchiness I applied at work! Sighs...a great evening indeed.


I just came back from a short trip to KL & Genting 2 days ago. Many pictures to show, but I think I'll update much later, like tomorrow. Hmmmm~

******************************************************************

My dad's old time friend passed away yesterday. I was in the same secondary school as his son as well. My deepest condolences goes out to him. May he be strong in the days to come & I pray that his late dad will rest in peace. Al-Fatihah.

The Visiting

I went to 3 houses today, for Raya. Good good...better than nothing at all. At least I managed to don my altered purple kebaya just now. My mom is thrilled to see Superhero, as usual. He was from work, so no "baju" for him. Suliana came to my place first & she chatted happily with my mom too.



At my cosy, very new, green sofa. The closest people to me: Superhero & Suliana.




We were supposed to go purple this year but obviously, he has other colours in mind...



I'm so happy to meet Hidayah! She lives nearby but I only see her once a year. She's my classmate for Sec. 3 & 4 & she was so crazy for Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys. I miss those days when we gossiped about our "famous" form teacher. Haha!



The last house: Masturah's! Suliana's daughter, Rina is ever full of antics. She's like a doll...just a slightly mischievious one. Hehe..



Masturah looks the same all these years. The 3 of us were in the school's band & even though we were in different Express classes, we remained close throughout. I must say, my sec. school days are the best memories! Worry about studies, gossip with the girls, look at cute boys... I'm not exactly a rebellious student but I had those moments of dyeing my hair, keeping long fingernails, school's skirt being too short & piercing more than a pair of ear holes! Haha..best lar!





The love of my life: Superhero! Of all the guys I know, I bet he's the one my folks & Suliana most pleased with! :) I went to his place just now. Hmmm...his mom looks scary. As in fierce kinda scary. I wish myself all the best of luck. I'm a nice girl though. Hehe~
