The Solo Shopping, Walking & Eating
I saw The Loaf almost immediately. Gee...if you happen to like bakery items (I love bread so much that I did consider marrying a baker!), you'll find this place simply irresistable! I thought Bread Talk is wow already...but The Loaf beats them hands down! The bread spread is superb...looking at them is enough to make me drool! I tried their grilled chicken sandwich. Thought of bringing some buns back to Hilton to enjoy (feeling afternoon tea) but seeing how hot & humid the weather is, I guess better not. The Loaf is a must try if you go to Bt Bintang! I had my sandwich al-fresco & I tell you, I feel like I'm in Italy. Haha..it's good that Pavilion is situated on the other side of Bt Bintang, more of the atas area sort of.
I actually walked from Pavilion to Lot 10 to Sungei Wang & to Berjaya Times Square! I've heard about how huge Sungei Wang is & thought of taking a look myself. The shops there are like hundreds of those at Far East Plaza & the layout of the shops is like Queensway's. You can just walk around aimlessly & be totally lost. So much that I felt claustrophobic. If people like Liah & Suliana go to Sungei Wang, I bet they'll be sooo lost that they cry. Hahahaha! I just realise KL has many HUGE shopping malls. Mid-Valley, KLCC, Pavilion, Berjaya Times Square, 1 Utama, The Curve. These malls have big walkways too. That means, KL is very generous with land! Haha...well, Malaysia do need to make use of their land. S'pore will be so glad to buy some if we can!
The Christmas decorations in the malls are nice! It's better than those we had in Singapore, hokays! And KL Tower actually has beautiful lights that changes colour every now & then in the evening. Good good, shall admire the view tonight.
Going back from Bt Bintang to KL Sentral was another chore. I thought of spending my last evening in KL by "hibernating" in my room. I ordered room service, ate by the glass panes potraying KL's bright lights & blasting MTV. Gorgeous. :)
P/s: Thanks hor Helmi, for giving me the wake-up call yesterday. I appreciate the father or rather, obek figure in you. Hehe!

The Luxury of Being Myself
Suliana screamed at me coz I only told her I'm going to KL for the weekend just yesterday. My folks are more concerned about the monetary terms...saying that I'm wasting my hard earned money. My friends thought I have nothing better to do. But best of all, one of my colleague, Jacqueline, named the trip incognito! Like wow...haha!
I took the coach down to Corus Hotel before boarding the Rapid KL to KL Sentral. The check-in process at Hilton took some time coz apparently they cancelled my booking as it's non guaranteed. I looked at my watch & told the Malay receptionist, "It's only 2.30 pm and I thought non-guaranteed bookings are to be released at 4 pm?" You see, as much as I try to be nice on my off days, some buggers are always testing my patience. When I asked her what exactly happened, she politely told me that everything's fine. *rolls eyes* How fine can it be when you have to make like 3 phone calls before you allow the guest to check in?! She assigned me a nice room on the 24th floor, facing the city. So, I guess there's justice after all.
I freshen up a bit & even had time to paint my nails! I decided to walk around KLCC for awhile since it's pretty early still. I got bored coz there's nothing much to shop & thought of going to Bt Bintang instead. I was shocked when part of the KLCC LRT station was blocked coz there were too many people at one time! We had to wait for a few minutes, before we're allowed to enter the station. And waited another 20 minutes coz I couldn't board the LRT! I just head back to KL Sentral instead of dropping by Bt Bintang. It was THAT hard to go back!
Anyway, I bought the famous chicken rice from The Chicken Rice Shop for dinner & ate it in my room. Now my blog name makes sense....safe in a crazy world. *winks*

The Updates
Had dinner & movie with the Conrad girls last 2 Saturdays. (Even though Sue & Liah have left...I'll still categorise them the Conrad!) Pasta Waraku quite shiok! Too much can be jelak though...
Hamizah's wedding was nice! She looks soooo pretty. I mean, she has always been jambu anyway. It's the "in" thing for lilac I think. Tini's wedding theme was lilac too. I also want! Haha!
Sandra's wedding was on Monday. I wore a bright turquoise satin top with a short black skirt. Turns out..the "sisters" were wearing THAT shade of blue too. Haha..cantik all of us. I'm so happy for Sandra. Hitched at such a young age some more. :)
I've never been to Sentosa...on a Tuesday, just to have lunch. Trapizza was good...but there're better Italian fare elsewhere. Been wanting to try Michaelangelo's! Anyone keen? I shall try asking Sue...since we both love Italian cuisine. :) I had my sweet cravings fixed by Ben & Jerry's, before heading to town to watch The Kingdom. The duh-est thing that could happen to me is that I lost my card holder! I was so pissed with myself. The card holder was given by Liah & I had the Conrad ez-link card & my staff ID in it. How careless can I get? Damn...
And I went to...Changi Airport Terminal 3 just now! Happening can?! It is huge, it is classy & it is cool! I can't wait to board my first SQ flight & departs from the all new terminal! Haha...I even sms-ed Liah about my plans. So, if things go well, insyallah...I'll drop by Terminal 3..sometime soon. :)
It seems that I'm sharing you the above stories like...for the sake of putting up the entry, right? I told you...I'm lazy to even log in to Blogger now. Maybe it's time for me to "retire"? Haha! We shall see how it goes...

Shiok Week!
I caught the Vienna Boys in concert last Monday! Got free tics from Mr Grafe, met Syah after work & head down to Esplanade to watch them, 4th row from the front some more! The boys are sooo cute, I wish I can bring one home with me. Haha! The performance was superb & I wanna watch them again next year. :)
Went out with Hamsa just now. I waited (again!) for him at Eunos after his shift & I told him to decide the place for dinner as I was too lazy to think. He wanted to bring me to Fisherman's Wharf but it was packed with people! He had cravings for fish (I don't know why) & we thought..Fish & Co at Dhoby Ghaut then. I think that outlet is closed for whatsoever coz it was really dark. In the end, we settled for Manhattan Fish Market at Plaza S'pura. It was his treat! Good good...I'm broke anyway. Haha! I've been wanting to get a new ring for myself ever since my Swatch one gave way. I decided on a stainless steel ring, with "wires look-alike" stuff in the middle. Hamsa had his eye on another design & he got one for himself too! We forgot about watching movie coz the timings sucked & we just sat down outside The Cathay till 1 am with our dose of Starbucks. Nice.
Looking forward to next weekend. Girls' day out, people. :)

Raya Outing
Kak Aini for the super-spicy fried spaghetti
***
Nassir's mom for the mee soto. The chilli was like...shiok!
***
Riza's mom fried macaroni with sausage & chicken wings. I also want Lingam's chilli sauce!
***
Sadiq's mom for the laksa. Yes, without the tauge & corriander leaves. Lucky it's all prepared separately!
***
Zaine & mommy for their delicious mee soto (again!) & to-die-for chicken wings. So sedap until I couldn't stop. Oh...they use Lingam's chilli sauce too!
P/s: If you realise, none of us actually cooks, except for Zaine. *winks*

Hari Raya Celebrations
Anyway, my relatives simply luuurve asking me the million dollar question. *rolls eyes*. Tired of repeating the same answer for the same question, can? Surprisingly, my mom helped me out this time! She happily told my aunties it won't be anytime soon coz "there's still vacancy & wondered if there's anyone who wanna apply". She sounded as if her daughter will be left on the shelf like that. I'm an eligible bachelorette, hokays!
Oh..my cousin, Ayos, resigned from his "metal rice bowl" job & gonna join NIE next year! So unbelivable. Haha..his younger sister was asking me if I have anyone to intro to her brother. I immediately thought of Liah (first choice!) or Siti (if no choice!) since these 2 are the only Malay girls (whom still single) I can think of at that moment. Any other interested applicants, please feel free to contact me directly. My cousin is veeeery eligible, just that he's short! Hahaha!

Hari Raya Jitters
Anyway, I was glad to be off for today, tomorrow & the day after! I went to see Dr Tan just now to get my usual dermatology fix...& a trip to the salon to get my hair coloured. Well...the mood for Raya wasn't that happening but the glamour feeling has set in! *winks* It's all about looking good & feeling good larr. In the evening, I met Helmi for a bit to return his luggage. FINALLY. It's been 7 mths! My sis even said that it felt weird that his luggage isn't around in our room anymore. Well...we've been putting our stuff on top of his luggage, you see. Like a shelf like that. I told Helmi...in a few months' time, I may need to borrow his luggage for a holiday again. Haha!
Suliana met me at my void deck for awhile to pass me some stuff. And she hugged me, wishing a blissful Raya & said that she loves me! How sweet! (I love you too, Bedah! Nasib baik tak cium, sey! Hahaha...)
To all my Muslim friends:
P/s: Don't forget next Saturday, hokays? ;)

If Eating Could Kill...
Went to Geylang with Suliana to get my Hari Raya baju. The streets were full of people & I perspired just to walk from Paya Lebar MRT to Tanjong Katong complex. You'll get to see all kinds of people during this festive season. A good-looking guy caught my attention & guess what..Suliana said he looked at me too. Excited for a moment there! Hehe! My baju this year has a touch of bronzy-goldish colour. It cost me a bomb! I never bought something that expensive for Hari Raya all my life. :)
Dinner with the famous girlfriends! Fizah borrowed her dad's car & she drove me & Maria around for the first time. She's quite an impatient driver larr, one that curses & say her prayers on the road too. We drove up to East Coast beach & shared 1 large pizza & desserts. Nice!
Met Liah & Faizal for break fast. Felt like having Subway...& so we all did. Took a cab down to Dempsey Rd to meet Frankie & Sue. We sat at PS Cafe...& the place is so lovely! The cheesecake is sooooo delicious that we got 3 slices (Frankie had 1 slice all by himself). Do try the Berry Chocolate Cheesecake. As the cake melts in my mouth, can't help but giving the shiok look! Haha! I had ice mint tea too. Somewhat different, but taste great. Go PS Cafe to chill with your good friends or to impress that special someone. Rather expensive though. Main courses so so only...
P/s: No pics available for PS Cafe coz I forgot to bring my memory card. Lamer!
Been a long while since I catch up with Wayne & Justin. Had dinner at Modesto's & desserts at Corduroy Cafe. Modesto's serve regular Italian cuisine but let's talk about the cafe instead. It's this American styled milk bar (or so they claim) with cool desserts. I love the candies & chocolates on display! Reminds me of Candy Empire but more...American? I saw the stacks of cupcakes & I was tempted to buy one. And I had warm milk with mint. Not bad larr...cannot afford to go often also. It stretches my purse AND my tummy. :)
Off day! Met Sadiq & our first stop was....Geylang! He wanted to get kain songket & gosh, the moment we stepped out of the MRT, I can't stand the heat already! It's scorching hot! We were at Geylang for less than 30 mins & then he decided to go to Bras Basah Rd to look for bermudas. Sadly, most of the shops don't accept Nets payment & the nearest ATM is undergoing the works! So again, we were there for about 30 mins only too. I wanted to get Crumpler (my first!) & we head down to Orchard. Daniel suggested checking out AMK Hub. I broke fast at Ramen Ten at AMK. I travelled all over the island like that, can?! The boys continued watching movie while I made my way home. And I thought...what an eventful day & week indeed!

Friends Forever
Farah, Sadiq & I had Muthu's Curry for dinner while the rest of the girls had Fish & Co. All of us met again at Starbucks & guess what...Michelle, Daniel & Jamadi came too. What a lovely gathering. At Starbucks some more! Why, you may ask. Well...each of us will agree that at some point of our life in Conrad, we were THAT addicted to Starbucks Coffee. So, from just a small meet-up, it became a major one that consist all the fellow front office peeps! If all of us were to work in 1 shift, say on Christmas Eve, no matter how busy it is...still shiok larr! Sighs..and that reminds me of the good old days...
P/s: How can we forget to call Suelyn??! It was really last minute...sorry Ah-Fun! And what about Helmi & Frankie? Geez...
It was Faizal's last day at work yesterday. Just before he bid goodbye, I hugged him & gave him my well wishes. My emo-ness came along & I cried! I thanked him for all his guidance (the bitching, scolding & mood swings helps!) & for the fact that he was there for me when I was down & out early this year. He had tears in his eyes too! Gosh...lucky only got Yijun, Faizal & myself at that moment. The trainees saw me wiping my tears & they kept quiet suddenly. :)
I took my own sweet time after my shift & had a chat with Craig & Chandran. As much as I'm happy for them who left for the greener pastures, I can't help feeling sad coz those days when we all had so much fun at work..are just memories now. I was telling Craig, it's not easy to find colleagues who can be your good friends & them..leaving one by one this year, is indeed a great test for me. First was Sadiq, then Suelyn, Sue, Liah & Faizal. I can't help tearing again & Craig almost cried too! Haha..I have that effect on people when I cry, huh? :) I can be so detached & perverse...but I keep friends & relationships close to my heart. Touching, you!
For all those times you scolded me (Norain! Re-update your reg card!)
For all the lies that you made me say (no NS, KB)
For all the joy you brought to my life (Your singing & Melayu drama sensation)
For all the logs that you have write (Remember #2201?)
For everything that you have taught (Misc duties, EF & AM training)
For all the guidance I found in you
I'll be forever thankful...:)

Manic Monday
Glad that I managed to buy the mooncakes at the Gift Shop. I'm THAT Chinese at heart, you know. I like mooncakes & I get them every year. Well, my family don't really eat them coz they find it...weird? Especially the one with egg yolks. I enjoy them anyway.
It's my 3rd round of 10-day work-non-stop stint. Been on afternoon shift for a month. The good thing is that I haven't got the time to do anything else, let alone shop. So money is saved except for the usual Starbucks indulgence. The side effects outshine it all though. More lethargic. No personal time & for friends. Stressed. And my dearest Eunuch has to propose something dumb to the rest of the Kingdom. I wonder what Empress Dowager will do about it. My fellow princes & princesses are thinking of declaring war with the Eunuch. Like what Princess Tanglin said, Eunuch's stupid cells are acting up! Good gracious!
P/s: An aquantaince told me that I seem very "cold" & that it's tough to know me better. Oh well, it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, I'm just...Norain. :)

Rumours

That Time of the Month
Liah: We always end up at the same "bus-stop" eh? Must shower in flower water on 31st Dec so that we'll have good karma next year larr! Be strong, tau! I understand it's not easy. I'm always here for you to cry to. I just can't really lend you my shoulder though. :)
Nasir: To think you were making fun of my predicament?! But..for you to not being able to get over the person means something lorr! There'll always be someone new, anyway. Knowing you. Haha!
And so...life goes on, right?

A Call For "Help"
A LOUD shout out to my fellow jetsetters or those who likes to travel but haven't been anywhere (I'm sure they know who they are):
Anywhere further than these places have to wait till next year. :) I shall plot my remaining leave nicely (Nick: Don't worry...you go for your Bali trip first, hokays? It worries me that your leave still got alot!). I shall have a serious discussion with my counter-parts about the so much needed getaway...AGAIN!

Eventful Week
Arranged to meet Hamsa for coffee. He also...OVERSLEPT. (3 people slept on me this week!) All the more he needs to get me the Gucci bag! I didn't wait for him long enough coz I just had the feeling he'd sleep all the way. "Have faith in me", he said. Right.
Had my Starbucks dose (I've no freaking idea how much was my coffee intake for the past 2 weeks already) with Sadiq & Daniel at United Square. Torn between watching a movie or heading to JB. Decided on watching "Rogue Assassin" instead. And..while waiting for the showtime at 12.25 am, the 3 of us had another round of...Starbucks. I should really consider setting up a trust fund or propose a loyalty programme with them, you know. See how much money they've been making out of me?
Then, the day that I came back to work (which is Saturday), I had lunch with Fizah & Maria at The Manhattan Fish Market. Shiok! The concept is like Fish & Co. Prices about the same too. I was so full that I could skip dinner.

And that explains...the higher your hopes are, the bigger your disappointment will be. I guess...I did have hopes after all.

The Long Awaited Off Days
Today marks the beginning of my 3 days off! My 10-day of "suffering" finally ended, just temporarily though. I gonna make full use of these 3 days to catch up on my sleep, run errands (thinking of getting a new pair of contact lenses), meet up with the famous girlfriends (Suliana, Fizah, Maria), coffee session with Hamsa & a night out with my usual kaki-arks! Oh, & Daniel asked if Friday I'm on for supper at JB. Great! Spending time with friends are always great.
Will update with the pics (if taken). :)

Supper @ Geylang
Daniel waited for me, Momo & Jamadi to finish our shift & we drove to Geylang to eat...beancurd! Well, there's nothing much that I can eat in Geylang anyway. (I even thought of durians!) I took Daniel's Cherovlet & Momo hopped into Jamadi's Subaru. Jamadi drove sooooo fast that it's hard for Daniel to catch up. Haha!
The funny thing is that I've never been to THAT Geylang area at night. I'm the kinda person who likes to see what's around me, especially if I've never been to that particular place before. We drove past the tiny lorongs, & I was amazed by the red light districts. So suaku! You mean those girls really stood around, waiting for customers? Some even brought beach chairs kind & sat along the pavement, fanning themselves! I've seen such acts on tv but to see them live with my own eyes, it's like WHOA. Jamadi & Daniel were surprised that I've never been to Geylang lorongs before. They seemed to be VERY familiar though. :) Damn...I should have brought my camera.
We ate at one of the coffeeshop along the main road & had beancurd & you tiao. Daniel ordered xiao long bao for himself too. Momo was wondering why it was still crowded at 3am. I told her Singaporeans eat at anytime of the day one. The 4 of us were discussing about the "ladies of the night"...& I must say I'm impressed with Jamadi's answers. This guy is smart & quite an observant! There're certain things that I wasn't aware in the past or didn't bother to ponder about. Hehe...thanks to Jamadi's explaination, Momo & I know men a tad better now. *laughs out loud*
Jamadi gave me the lift back home coz it's more convenient (he stays in Woodlands). Sitting beside him in his Subaru is like sitting beside Michael Schumacher seh. I love the adrenalin rush in fast cars though. Like stress relief! NOW I feel like driving. :) We chatted quite a bit & I understand his predicament. Cheer up, friend! Insyallah, things will work out just fine. Life goes on, hokays!

The Rants (Part 2)
Like how I stayed back till 2am to finish up my work & I foresee it'll be that way till next Tuesday. Frankie was at the back office, beside me & so, I asked him out of nowhere; why is it so hard for humans to tell the truth? Wouldn't hiding the truth, or rather delaying it, hurts more than the truth itself? (If you're lost at this point, it's ok. Don't bother figuring out what I'm talking about). What a topic in the wee hours, huh? :)
Frankie: Thanks for listening to my non-senses, hor. I still think the whole reasoning that I told you about is ridiculous (you know, you know) but yeah, if it makes others happy, I think I'll get by too. If not, happier. Haha! I saw you leaving a comment on Helmi's blog that you're fast becoming our "sister". Can make it larr! :)
I like this quote: "Endure my own despair, not another hope". So very the feeling. Ahaks!

Dinner With The Melayus
We made plans for Hari Raya outing this year. I'm already excited for the jalan jalan! I'm in the "committee", with Liah being the main organiser. Insyallah, we'll make it happen, doks!
Sunday, August 26, 2007
The Rants
Work was fine today. My feelings wasn't at its best though. I didn't go to Is's wedding coz I was on shift. I'll be attacked with loads of unnecessary questions anyway. Maybe I should just show my face but I was too...lazy? Supposed to meet Nasir for dinner but that fella has to go out with his folks. He better buy me kopi. Not forgetting the fact that he took pictures of me without my permission yesterday! Hamsa called me after work & we chatted a bit. It's nice to hear from a friend & I thanked him for cheering up my not-sure-why gloomy Sunday. I know he's as stressed as I am..coz he has a psycho who tags to him! Haha!
I'll be working straight for the next 9 days. NINE days. Need to increase my Starbucks intake, don't think too much about other stuff & look forward to my off days after that.
Nick: I'm soooo on now about your plans for 6th Sept! :)
Simplicity Saturday
P/s: I feel stupid asking that question. But I just wanna clarify. I'm sorry if I sound defensive or "sore". I am not. Really. Neither do I expect anything. If that's the way we all shall be, then I will leave it as it is. Damn...why do I have to be so bothered by it? What doesn't kill me will make me stronger, right?
Oh yah, to Liah Kamis (my best travel buddy so far, good friend & good ex-colleague):
Thank you for the being there for me through my ups & downs. I must say, I got to know you much better this year & I'll always remember our trip to Australia (More to come!). Really glad to know you as a friend & you are one that I'll treasure (coz you know lotsa my secrets! Haha!) always. All the best to your future endeavours & may you find your true happiness. :)

Dreams
I had a dream last night. I could only remember bits & pieces but I was happily with someone & we, with a bunch of our friends were having...a picnic. (I know it sounds duh!) When I woke up, instead of smiling (it's actually supposed to be a good dream), I feel sad coz it wasn't real. Things are just not gonna happen. And the dream spoils my mood for the day. :(

The Rainy Phuket Trip
Hang around the resort. It's so private! Great for those with families or honeymooners. Lonely people like me also could find things to do! Hehe~
Nap. I've been working on night shifts, enjoyed Gwen's concert, worked again, watched Liah's play & then off to Phuket. Hectic worr! Need beauty sleep badly...
Checked out the Sails' Cafe & Andaman Lounge. Booked a 2 hr session at the spa for next day.
Spent time with Hewlett & blasted my fav songs on Nano. Fell asleep.
***********************************************
Day 2: Spa-ing & Shopping
*******************************************
Day 3: Beach & Seafood Dinner
The rain stopped for awhile, after breakfast. Suliana managed to put Rina to sleep after another round of swimming & so we "sneaked" out to the beach, just a few metres away from the resort. The waves are scary. No wonder got red flags that reflect warning signs in the danger of swimming in the open sea.
Went Patong again as Suliana need to get some stuff for her students. Had dinner by Patong Beach.
*********************************************************
Day 4: Home Sweet Home
Dunkin Donuts for breakfast
Hmmm...already planning my next vacation. ;) Who's up for it?
The Sweet Escape Meets Earnest
Thursday, August 16, 2007
Sawadee-kap!
Right from the beginning today, the customer service people at the Budget Terminal, the Tiger Airways crew & the Hotel staff has been very pleasant. So much better than my trip to Bangkok & Pattaya last year. When we entered the compounds of Hilton Arcadia, we were greeted & then showed to a mini "Hilton van" that we took us to the check-in area. Suliana & I felt like VIPs! I was introduced to the AM on duty & I almost forgot that I'm here for a holiday. :)
So...my room is great. Sea view, leyy! 12th floor some more! Suliana brought Rina out to jalan-jalan around the resort. I decided to stay in the room & do an entry before we go shopping later. Weather kinda sucky though. There're a few wings in the resort. I'm in the Andaman Wing, I think. The resort has activities lined up for in-house guests; eg. pilates, aerobics, batik painting & even a Muay Thai class! And not forgetting the spa that I'll indulge in one of these days.
I guess I'll only put up the pics when I'm back home. There're shots of Gwen Stefani too...& Liah in her 50s. Hahaha!
P/s: I plucked my courage & sms-ed someone this morning before I board my flight to Phuket. It's hard to explain things, even harder not to have hopes. Maybe his impression of me changes after the sms? In any case, liking someone just mean sheer disappointment to me....

For No.285!
The highlight of the morning wasn't the events but the eye candy that Frankie told me to take note of. He said there's this good-looking guy from RC Hotels & his shirt number is 285. I didn't see him around so I thought....okay, I will check him out later then. This is not about being desperate or menggatal, it's just for fun.
So when I saw this Malay guy winning the 100m run (he's super fast!), I was like...gosh, he's hot! Hahaha...Nice package, man. From top to bottom. Lavanya then nudged me & said.."That's the guy! No. 285!". And the whole time we were there, he just couldn't escape our eyes. :)
Frankie found out his name & the department he's working at as well. Efficient hor? When you see something that catch your attention so much, you just couldn't stop to find out more. Haha! Anyway, my support at the athletics was fruitful after all. A reward for my eyes. *winks*

National Day
Since I got home like 6 am, I could only woke up at 2.30 pm. It's National Day.... & I'm off! I thought of slacking at home with Hewlett & just watch tv but Suliana & her friend, Raizal insisted that I should go out with them. After almost an hour of persuasion (if they could drag me out of my bed, they would!), I got ready & followed them to City Hall. It was great! Raizal watched the NDP preview before, & using the knowledge he got from serving NS many yrs back, he led us through the crowd. I like the water stunts! I suddenly figured out why we pay so much taxes for. :) Suliana was smart enough to use her video camera to capture the happenings at the floating platform & Raizal was being very gentleman by making sure that I got to see the stunts or the cannons or the giant screen (coz I am THAT short, apparently). He also kept asking if we girls are comfortable (lotsa foreign workers leyy, if you know what I mean).
We stood at the open ground outside Esplanade & caught the fireworks without much obstruction. You see, I don't mind if I don't get to see fireworks but since I could, it felt nice. Especially with my best friend. Suliana hugged me & said she loves me. How sweet. I love her too. A lot. :)
We walked to Raffles Hospital & had dinner at Banquet. Suliana's dad fetched us & sent me back as well. The day was splendid. Thanks, Bedah & Raizal.
Liah msged me on MSN & told me to read someone's blog right away. I asked why but she won't tell me. She sounded very angry though. I have a choice to read or not, & I won't. What I heard is that someone has put me down. So someone got the cheek to say I'm childish. So someone said it's my nature. The pics are nothing. THEY are really something. I just thought it should be fair for my friends to know who are "cheating" them too. After all, if I am that bad of a person, I bet those idiots know I could do more than just grabbing their pic & post it on Friendster. And there goes all the talk about "mummy wants me to have a gf who goes to the mosque". Ahaks! Oh, he'll always feel the guilt. That explains why I was described as a "not so nice face". He wasn't nice to me, what!
Anyhow, I'm not starting a blog war. What goes around, comes around. And my friends, please stop reading other people's blog that have so much crap that it angers you. Might as well watch porn. You have a choice. :)

A Great Saturday!
Eating with them was so much fun! I update Dahlia on what I've been up to the past few mths. She gave me loads of tips & both of them were teaching me to be bad! Haha...not bad as in bad, but... THAT BAD. Oh well, I shall keep their tips in mind. I tell you, the whole time we were in Sakae Sushi, window shopping & dessert at Coffee Club, those 2 chicks were telling me "naughty" stuff. I realise I've been a Daddy's girl all this while. :)
P/s: It's such a coincidence. I saw 2 familiar faces at Orchard Rd just now. I could recognise the male one from far. And the female that held his hand so tightly. When you snatched someone's boyfriend, you definitely have to hold on tight. Better still if got leash. Just in case retribution strikes & he got snatched as well! Haha! Tini walked in front blindly while Dahlia & I were chatting at the back. I told Dahlia whom I saw & just their luck that we passed by them too quickly (Opposite direction larr!). If not, I wouldn't wanna imagine what my 2 gorgeous friends will do. If you're with a meenah, you've to dress up to try to look better. (It helps to balance out the ugliness!) That explains why the male fella was wearing something that I didn't think he would. I understand. :)
The day was still nice though. I just like these 2 girls even more.

DVD-ing With Hewlett
If you ask me, the movie is like one of the many typical Indonesian love stories we should get sick of. But well, I'm still a sucker for romance-tradgedies. Haha!
Heard the song below during the Anugerah finals few weeks ago. The lyrics soooo the feeling. I looike!
Looking forward to my off day later. Going out with Dahlia, Kartini & Suliana. ;)

ALMOST There
Hamsa asked me out for dinner last Tuesday. Now, it's soooo unlike of him to initiate a meet-up. He's like working 24/7, you know. (I've never known someone who loves working so much!) Anyway, he was late as usual, even though he was on off & the one who's from work (like me) can reach 30 mins earlier. He said he has a sad story to tell me. (I knew it! There must be something!) Alas...it's about the matters of the heart. And I thought he is the "victim". But no larr...he won't be one. Someone else will. Haha! Anyway, we had a bet & I won. So he still owe me a Gucci bag. *winks*
Suliana & I finally had our dream came true! We brought our lappies out for coffee at Starbucks Liat Towers over the weekend. So fun! We shall do it more often, no? Hehe... Anyway, I wanna get a bag for Hewlett. Wondering if I should get a Crumpler or Timbuk. *ponders*
Watched the movie "Knocked Up" with Naz yesterday. It's hilarious! Kept me awake even though I was tired from work...Good good. I just couldn't tahan on my way back home that I fell asleep in the bus & left Naz to listen to his mp3 player. :) I felt bad after that.
My roster for the next 2 weeks looks ok. Nickole has planned another chiong-ing session for us. We all need that soooooo badly. Looking forward to the 8th of Aug!

2 More Weeks!
Liah gonna have her debut act at Drama Center on 15th & 16th Aug! The play is called "The Importance of Being Earnest". So I gonna give her my utmost support..maybe with banners & all. Maybe with the whistles & cheer. Maybe with flowers & the works. Haha!
The most outright reason why I'm anxiously waiting for August is because...Hmm...I won't say just as yet. Sadly, spending will be involved in the process but never mind. I'm bent on doing it anyway! *winks*
By the way, after so so long of hesitation, I finally got the tittle of the song that the Conrad pianist has been playing every weekend. It's a love theme from the movie Flashdance. I'm not orh bit. I'm just a not-so hopeless romantic. Hah! :)

Harry Potter-ing
I had wanted to meet Nasir today, but he said that he has a date. And then, miraculously, I bumped into him at CCK, on my way home! So excited! Haven't seen him for years! It's weird talking to someone who used to look chubby, but has become so much slimmer. Haha....he's still as loud & irritating. That didn't change one bit. We'll try to meet up for coffee or dinner larr....one of these days. Can relive the good old sec. school moments. :)

The So-Called Atas Dinner
Well, like I said, the dinner was at Greenhouse, Ritz-Carlton Millenia. The cost of the buffet is slightly more expensive (about $55) & the spread was...okay. Better than Hilton's of course! I quite like the setting of the restaurant. After all, it's the Ritz-Carlton, darlings. I know, I know.... my friends has been saying that I spent a lot on food. Keke! Oriental's Melt Cafe in May, Aquamarine at Marina Mandarin & Checker's at Hilton last month. And then, off to Ritz-Carlton! Wait till Charlene's wedding at Grand Hyatt next week. Feeling worr...
On Sue's last day at work, I was working night shift. When I saw her in the morning, I didn't talk much & just shook her hand, wishing her all the best. I didn't wanna hug coz I don't wanna feel that she's really leaving. That was settled. BUT, when we were about to say our byes at the restaurant that night, I hugged her & again, wished her good luck & thank her for being there for me as a wonderful colleague & friend. For a good 5 secs, we didn't let go of our hands & the most un-glorious thing that could happen; we both cried!
This year started on a very new note for me. Those people who know what happened, yes, I really appreciate them giving me the moral support & encouragement. I must say, I see my colleagues on a different light (It's a good light, hokays. The kinda lights you see at the end of the tunnel! Haha!).
Though I'm very close to Liah, Nickole,Suelyn... Sue was the best buddy larr. I told Liah, if she ever leave, I don't wanna see her on her last day at all. Haha! Nickole won't move till next year. Anyway, later that night, Liah sms-ed me, saying that she'll always be there for me as a friend & urging me not to feel sad. So sweet!
P/s: Liah is still single. So what are you guys waiting for? *winks*
