compared to the last week, this week had been pretty amazing. busy like crazy but it was good.
sun: sent barek off to the airport with a few other people. had a great time when he was here, and i'd like to thank everyone who turned up at the various outings. wouldn't have been the same without you guys!
mon: er... i can't remember what i did on mon. but i'm sure it was pretty happening. oh wait, yes i remember! watched night at the museum with rohana and shaz. it was bloody hilarious siaaaaaaa. love octavius and jed!! ahahahahaaha. dumdum, gimme gumgum! wahahahahahha.
tues: took hakka to the vet. vet said he's a pretty boy, very tame, and i made a good choice. :) yeah yeah i know, he's just saying that but still... makes me proud! ahaha. and yes shaz, against my better judgement i will listen to you and spell his name with a double k, ok?
wed: watched eragon with nas and mills. had sushi for dinner. mmmmm sushi... eragon wasn't that great lah. like a b grade lord of the rings. not much star power except for john malkovich and a cameo by joss stone. the atmosphere and mood wasn't there either. pfft. but the dragon was cool lah, reminded me of hakka at one point and i started missing him sooooo bad. hahaha
thurs: had my office party. it kinda rocked. stayed up until 3am the night before to do the deco and i must say it looked pretty good. haha. i won a capita mall voucher in the lucky draw. woohoo!
fri: had my neighbourhood committee party. was supposed to bring tandoori but i didn't manage to drag my lazy ass down to mustafa centre so i had my mum make honey roasted chicken instead. we sat around singing songs while one of the guys played guitar. it was pretty cool i guess, even tho i was half the age of the youngest member. haha.
sat: cleaned up my room and the toilet big time in the morning. having a cat is damn leceh lor. like having a kid sia! first thing i do in the morning is feed him and last thing i do at night is pick up his poop and wipe his ass. haha.
also met up with someone i'm supposed to meet since june. photoshoot in jan or feb probably. ;) this meeting also made me realise what my biggest turn off is. shall blog about this later too mebbe.
met up with suzie and went hunting for a present for my mum's b'day. accidentally touched pigskin at gucci. aaaarrgghhh! fell in love with a ferragamo wallet though. think my mum will love it but when i told her the price she said it was too ex. oh well... toscano or buffel it is then. boring mans. went to metro to check out the toscano and buffel and guess what i saw sitting prettily in the handbag section. my bloody guess bag lor!! needless to say, i snapped it up, even tho it was the last piece. finally, the search was over...
met up with shaz, diyana and farhan at simpang after that. shaz and di sat at the wrong table!! ahahaaha. traitors! gave them shit abt it all night. that was fun. haha.
sun: selamat hari raya haji!! will be going over to my aunt's today as she'll be having an akikah for my latest cousin. should be fun. then gotta get back home quick to prepare for marsya's cukur rambut on mon. yeah i know, packed week ok! but a great start to the new year. :) friends and family, what more could i ask for?
ok lah off to have brekkie. damn hungry ahhhhhhh.
selamat hari raya haji and a happy 2007 to all!!!

the suay week 17 dec - 23 dec
ok, so writing this only because of rohana cos i promised that i would blog about my suay week. haha. i can hardly remember half the things that happened, much less in chronological order, but here goes:
1. came back from KL (will blog abt this later insyaallah) at 4.30am on mon morn. taxi driver was a fool, revved the engine like crazy but didn't switch gears until the last min. each time. he also had this dumdum look about him. doesn't exactly inspire confidence in his abilities but i reached home in 1 piece, thank god. really couldn't make it waking up in the morn so took half a day am leave instead.
2. went hunting for this guess bag that i'm dying to get my hands on. been eyeing it for a few months and this was the perfect opportunity to go get it as tis the season and all. went to the plaza sing outlet, right style and material,wrong colour. girl checked and said it was available at the sutec outlet, so i made my way there. when the suntec girl brandished the bag with a flourish, it was the right colour, right style,wrong material. she checked and said it was available at the raffles outlet. raffles bimbo checked the system and it was available. she went missing for quite a while in the storeroom and came back with completely different bags which were nothing like what i was looking for. they didn't even have anything remotely similar to the fucking bag lor. raffles nice girl took over when she saw i was getting damned pissed off and checked with plaza sing girl. came back and said that they didn't even have the bag that i saw a couple of hours ago and she doubts that it even exists. are you calling me a fucking liar? i know what i saw and i described it completely to her in every damned detail. this would've been enough for me to blow my top and give them a verbal trashing for their incompetence and inadequacies but no... raffles nice girl said she would do her best to check with the warehouses or other outlets. she gave great service too, tho i didn't get wat i wanted. 2 hours. 3 stores. all over the fucking place. no bag. i was NOT happy.
3. went to the plaza sing store during lunch the next day and whaddya know, they had that bag that i saw in the first place! took a pic,fully determined to march over to raffles nice girl and prove that i wasn't seeing things. of cos this didn't happen. forced myself to let it go. trust me it was very hard.
4. my bus home broke down. second time this month. on the one day that i was actually going home straight from work and had no plans yet. i happily took another bus that goes to my place, along with a few other stranded passengers. guess where we ended up? at the other end of the bus route lor!! all the way out in whoop whoop!! myself and a couple other passengers were pissed off that the driver didn't warn us where he was going. cos logically speaking, if the bus is at the same bus stop as the other buses that were heading in the general east sdie direction, they would all end up at more or less the same destination, no? gggrrr... made friends with one of the passengers and we decided to take a cab, but the moment we decided that, whaddya know, no cabs!! then the bus turned up, so we took it lor.
5. met up with shaz, diyana, barek and farhan for supper. that was probably one of the highlights of my week. yeah i'm easy. haha. thanks guys. :)
6. weather been crap, but great for sleeping. i had been coming home at 2am, waking up at 7am and been horribly late for work each and every day.

stanchart marathon- ed
today i woke up at the ungodly hour of 4.30am after a restless night of tossing and turning and waking up practically every hour. i dreamt that i was super late, and so i was panicked and stressed as well. needless to say, i didn't get much rest. what was i so anxious about and why did i get up so early on a wkend morning, u ask? well... the singapore stanchart marathon, baby!! called mills to wake her up and her royal grumpiness was complaining about getting only 3 hours of sleep. try almost none!! i was all sunshine and happiness as the big day was finally here. haha. bet that irritated the hell out of her. we met up at macs for brekkie then made our way to city hall. our 10km women's run started at 7.30am and we arrived in plenty of time to go looking for the lost wayne aka bag carrier. hehe.
here we are posing at the start line. nice tops eh? check out the crowd!we managed to stay together only for like, the first 3km. haha. after that i lost mills then mills lost me and we ran at our own paces for the rest of the way. it was super cool lah. never thought in a million years that i would voluntarily get up at 4.30am on a sunday morning to go running. RUNNING, people. 10 frigging km. moi. miss run- is- not- a- word- in- my- vocab. stranger things have happened i guess.
the run turned out to be pretty good. i was playing eye of the tiger in my head to stay motivated. haha. when i hit the 5km turning point i was thinking, hey, this ain't so bad after all. i was actually enjoying it. when i crossed the finish line though, i felt like my heart was gonna burst and i'd pass out anytime. seriously. was sprinting towards the end. maybe that wasn't such a good idea. had to remind myself to breathe. haha. but it was worth it. such a great feeling of accomplishment i tell you. mills finished in 70 min and i did it in 80 min... which is cool, cos i was aiming for below 90 min. :) mills i'm proud of you too!! even though u were sick, had bad knees and fell down, you got a great timing! this reminds me of swan river days too. :)
posing with our hard earned medals after the race was run. hot, sweaty and the promise of aches tomoro. i'm also quite proud of my friend who did the full marathon. madness right? but he finished it, so that's a great feat. well done! mills and i are aiming for half mara next year and full mara in 2008. will probably have to start training like tomoro or something. haha. bring it on!! can't wait... shape run, army half mara, stanchart... ooh. excellent stuff. now if you'll excuse me, i'm off to rest my weary limbs. and maybe bribe someone into deepheat- rubbing me. :)
