Dad's been seeing me with a glass almost every other night heheh. Not that he's complaining, it has health benefits ohkay.. :P

I like it best on the rocks! Ahh so yummy..

I heart weekends

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 02:29:31 GMT

Last weekend was packed! First there was Hopo's cocktail party, so Friday night was spent accompanying her shopping. We didn't really want to go home yet so we went for late night desserts!!

Swear and cross my heart that I'll exercise soon.

Saturday came and I wanted to squeeze as many activities as I can. Wei was around, I wanted to spend time with him; yet my parents wanted to bring grandma out and I wanted to be there too. I can't tell you how many times I've tried so hard to plan things to the minute especially when I need to be at 2 places at once. I CAN'T SETTLE FOR CHOOSING EITHER. My parents and Wei knows this, so they're always telling me to go with the other party, which actually doesn't help, really -_-

Hopo's party was fun, and it gave us the opportunity to see Wendy wearing heels! *jaw drops

She's always choosing her 'trusty Havaianas' � or so she calls them. But they didn't want her anymore. They chose to stay at the badminton court. *roll on floor laughing

Will post up Hopo's party pics soon!:)

Then Sunday came! Laid back Sunday� perfect way to end the weekend.

We went for brunch at West Lake Garden, stuffed ourselves silly and we didn't have to eat for the rest of the day until dinner time. Yummy stuff!

Then dad and bro was putting in the garden.

I felt left out so I went to Max and Kobe and gave them a large bone. They went nuts. Chewed at it for almost an hour and it's still not diminishing in size O_O Magic I tell you!

I walked past them, called them, did a little dance in front of them. They ignored me. -_-

I tried to take their bone away.. and whoa. Talk about overreacting. Ok maybe it was a bad idea.

Hee heee. So cuteeeee!! *juggles cheeks

On Sunday night, we watched Life As We Know It.

Then went to bed with images of Josh Duhamel. Ahh, perfect. <3

A birthday wish to Hopo

Mon, 01 Aug 2011 13:45:54 GMT

Dear Hopo,

Your new year resolution: do something about your hair! I was looking at your birthday pics and it's so long!! Any longer and kids will be able to pull it >:D

We've been through dramas, schools and boyfriends (you've a penchant for weird ones :P), so I'm glad you finally found your Pear Bear. We have so much history together sometimes it's scary. Please remind me to swear each other to secrecy before any embarrassing wedding speeches, thanks. *dagger stare*

We share the same tastes; build castles in the sky together. We are BAD for each other's pockets yet we keep going for walks in those damn malls. We like the same things, which makes giving presents to each other so awesome!

The crazy times, the sleepovers, the sneaking around, the stories we tell each other, and of course, sticking up for one another.

WE, are constant.

by the way, THIS is not rejected love!

it's you trying to take food in my mouth pft

Happy Birthday!! *smooch

Ive never really paid attention to Muslim fashion. Which is surprising because they tend to have really stylish yet modest pieces that Hopo and I go gaga over. I swear our dressing sense is so similar, sometimes we look like we color code -_-

We even each have a pair of shoes in the same shade of yellow.

YELLOW. the kind that makes you skip a step cos they're so bright and cheery.

What are the odds?!

So anyway, we were doing our usual.. work. And look what I found :O :O :O

The last one is only RM1200 hahahahhaha *hysterical

Oh well. I need one for Hopo's wedding no? >:D

buying gifts

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 13:57:13 GMT

I've been spending a lot on gifts these few months!

Actually, I've been spending a lot, period. There's always someone's birthday coming up, or just my luck that I stumbled upon something I've looked for my entire life. Can't let that go, can I??!

And then I come across a couple more of those somethings.. *hangs head

Mann, I need to freeze my credit card in dry ice or something. That should teach me never to touch it.

So anyway, Hopo's birthday is coming up! and I've got so many ideas on what to buy her I don't know what to buy her anymore!!

I'm starting to see the point of the whole wish list crap. I used to think it was nonsensical and shameless, but I guess it makes sense. I may even use it for my birthday! and housewarming. and wedding. hehe

Just a month ago I had to help my brother choose a present for his girlfriend. We went over all possibilities. HE, couldn't decide.

Necklace? gave her one.
Handbag? don't know..
Flowers? perishable.

I told him to channel allll his love, and make a card.

He ignored me and bought the Marc Jacobs Classic Q Trifold -_-

pft. let's see what he buys for me in December.

water chalet

Sun, 17 Jul 2011 11:34:30 GMT

We took a short break last week and drove down to PD for a night. I like that we have a holiday home nearby, so whenever we feel like getting away even for a short while, there's that awaiting us!

The one day that I took off from work was crazy though. I was working the whole morning, laptop glued to face from the kitchen counter right straight to the car -_- Motion sickness didn't dare mess with me that day

It can get really frustrating though. You are supposed to be on leave yet people expect things of you. I had half a mind to throw my BB away.

Then I thought about all the saved mushy messages so I changed my mind. *roll on floor laughing

When I finally did close my laptop, we were at PD!

taking the buggy

We read, watched movies, watched the sea, had seafood dinner, and just enjoyed the company and the room. So nice to be able to do this every once in a while :)

If you're looking to invest in a water chalet just like the above, let me know! You get a holiday home, 5% returns, 12 nights of free hotel stays� not to mention the emotional rewards and it's contribution to you and your family's general wellbeing (from having free getaways every once in a while) *serious

get in touch for more details!

Brothers and Sisters

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:02:37 GMT

I used to watch Brothers and Sisters religiously. While everyone was reciting lines from 10 seasons of Friends, I was paying attention to Dave Annable. And maybe Rob Lowe. Hehe.

I'd flop down on the sofa with mum every night, box of tissue next to us, just in case of sobfests.

And then Dad would come home from work and get drawn into the conversations. Haha.

I don't know why we stopped watching it though. Couldn't find torrents.. not exactly easy to purchase them here either.

Just yesterday my brother decided to play it again. And I'm reminded of why this has got to be one of my most favourite series ever.

The scripts are witty and intelligent, it's not annoying like The O.C., and the characters all have so much depth. There's so much going on yet there isn't much action, everything manages to come across through their conversations... You have to watch it to know what I mean!

I'm thinking of rewatching the first few seasons and catch up on the remaining ones. So sad to know ABC decided to end it at fifth season :(

red velvet cupcakes

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 01:25:48 GMT

I ate some red velvet cupcakes the other day and I was hooked. I can't believe I've never tried it!

I was so excited to make some myself I spent 100 bucks on muffin trays. -___-

Got a shock of my life at the paying counter.

'WHAT?! 50 bucks each?? oooohh my god. my mum's gona kill me'

nevermind. lesson learnt.

Dont grab stuff off the shelf without looking at price. pftt I should smack myself.

So anyway, yes. Red velvet cupcakes.

Surprisingly easy to make!:D

just dump everything together, use the electric mixer, and tadah!

success!

I shall treat the trays really nicely. *solemn

My kakak shall too.
