www.gucci.com

drool at leisure. can only view classics and the fall/winter 2006 collection tho. bummer. i want the shoes! and the furry bags! ahaha. sighs. i can dream ok.

yes yes i've been struck by a bolt of boredom at work. couple this with no supervisors cos they all went for lunch. also, i was being kepo and wanted to find out how to tell a real from a fake bag lah. haha. that's why i stumbled into the above site. i wish i hadn't. click on it and see why... i dare you. *evil laughter*

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY

TO HAJAR TOO!

...

sorry forgot to make blog dedication. wahaha.

ramadan kareem

alamak, forgot to put up a fasting post lah. a bit belated but here it is:

selamat berpuasa to all, have a great ramadan!

as usual, i'm pretty excited abt this. even managed to change my working hours and head home at a very early 4.30pm. :) why? cos i can... haha.

anyway, time to do some promotional stuff. want cookies? go to www.thecookieworkshop.com and say naz sent ya!! haha. shon this is for u. :)

want more cookies? call me! my aunt makes em tooooooo! i'll send u a list but i would highly recommend her kuih tart and nutella roll... u guys have tried my nutella roll right? hers is BETTER!! so far i got more than a dozen orders for that from my colleagues alone... and they haven't even tried it yet. based solely on my recommendation and over the top description. wahaha. mmmmm yummy...

also, hari raya open house 2006!! details akan datang but probably on a sun. gonna be the last raya before they enbloc my estate so u know u wanna come!

tales from the crib

so right, remember how i was saying that i'd been painting my bro's nursery? i'm finally done! had no idea that it would take so damn long! granted it's my first time painting a whole wall but jeez... a lot of work sia. was supposed to do the whole room but no time lah. would love to, but baby is due at the end of oct/ early nov and gonna be busy these next few weeks cos of puasa and raya so... no go. i don't like the idea of painting the nursery after the baby comes cos of the fumes, having to move the furniture, health reasons, etc... ok lah less talk more pics. haha.

exhibit A: flowers. there was a pink/ purple theme, therefore the lack of any other colours. couldn't get a shot of the trail at the bottom or a full wall shot. oh well. imagine it.
exhibit B: butterflies. from exhibit A, u can tell where the 1st butterfly starts. i tell u ah, damn tedious ok! but it's a labour of love so i don't mind. have to be really precise and steady with the colouring and outline otherwise will look too messy. used my own normal paintbrushes for the outline cos they're finer and would give a better result. tis true, your tools do matter.

exhibit C: my constant companion during the entire painting process. meet fila the persian. so lepak rite? haha. damn nice lah the fur... takes fila a while to warm up to people but he (she?) did eventually and this is what happens.

i'm not too happy with the end result of the painting though. after i started outlining the flowers in black, i realised that i should've probably done the outlining in a darker shade of the flower colour ala the leaves. doh!! but it was too late to turn back and start again. :( nevermind, it's only the first time. can experiment again in the future...

trois: cerulean seas

ok we went on a day trip to phi phi island on the 3rd day. took a harrowing 1 hr speedboat ride to our destination. 1st time in a speedboat going that fast mah. the rides after that were less stressful. can tertido sommore. haha. awesome experience.

pretty eh?
cave where bird's nest is harvested. i can't get over how gorgeous the water looks. crystal clear ok!

fishies!!and a parting sunset shot on patong beach.

deux: crimson sunsets

this is the street along patong beach. rohana had her hair braided so i busied myself with trying to take happening/ urban- looking shots.one of the items on my to-do list got crossed out: ride in a tuk tuk. check!!



and of course the all important sunset shots. so pretty right? mebbe we should've gone over to karon or kata beach for a better view but wat the heck... there's always next time. this by itself was pretty spectacular already.

oh ya, afternoon was spent in a spa... it was pretty good. i still prefer javanese style tho.

une: azure skies

ok so here's a breakdown of the getaway rohana and i had to phuket. er in pic format cos i'm lazy with posts now, as u can probably guess... for details please go to rohana's blog. wahaha.

our home for 4 days and 3 nights. my fave part abt the room was... channel v. wahaha. had an overdose of justin and scissor sisters... i like. i also loved the loo. got the spray2 thingy. in fact, all the loos i went to in phuket had them. they're clean and odour free too!

first look at patong beach. not bad... had beach brollys and chairs along the entire stretch... 100baht for a pair. attentive beach bum aka Aka optional and foc. wahahaha.went parasailing! it was pretty cool, but too short lah. my theory of wearing a ring so u won't get disturbed was proven true. the parasailing dude was like, so r u married. i'm bad at lying, so i said no. then he asked, got boyfren? i just flashed the ring, and he got the picture. wahaha. see, i didn't lie mah. of cos rohana wasn't as deft at taichi-ing such questions, therefore our relek session by the beach was cut short. haha.

this is the bus which we escaped on. 20 baht for a ride to the city. quite fun. rohana has a souvenir from it, ask her.

having lunch at the shopping centre... the breadstix u see above were awesome... so was the seafood pizza. yum yum. was meat deprived for 4 days ok!! everywhere also pork and non halal... so stuck to seafood. i would go back there just to try the cinema seats. super cheap and the 'sofa sweet' looked damn good. wahaha. bought 2 pairs of shoes for 400 baht. that's about sgd17 for both. hehehe. ya ya shopaholic i know.

comexed. 31 aug, 01 sept 06

comex is a tech geek's dream come true. then again, it's a non- tech geek's dream come true too. i went twice. almost made it a 3rd time but my laziness won out. now i'm going to haunt the aisles of sim lim for speakers and dvd media... hmm.

so right, i got me my first desktop pc last friday. cost me $1034 (after a 3.5% credit card charge. was actually $999. bah. should've brought my other bank card sia) and i must say, it's a beauty. i have just discovered the joys of a 17 inch lcd... of cos this is nothing compared to rohana's 19 inch but hey, i loooike. so big ahhhhh s.g. beng also can see one!! wahaha. i still haven't decided on a name for him but somehow 'taylor' comes to mind. this name is unisex rite? i dunno...

also got a panasonic lumix, will extras thrown in. mebbe i will take a pic of taylor with it. it too, does not have a name as yet. haha. dunno if i should tho, cos it's a 'family' camera. ie. anyone can use it. of cos it's safe in my room rite now so... IT'S MINE!!! until my uncle returns my other lumix anyway. still deciding on which one to bring to phuket. hmm. shall do some testing and see which takes better pics. yeah yeah i know the newer one is, er, newer, but oldies r goodies mah. and i don't have to worry so much about losing the old one. not cos my mother will kill me if i lose the new one but cos the old one is so damn huge. wahaha.

speaking of which... phuket!! 2 wks away!! wooohooooo!! rohana bila mau book hotel ar?? i hope the weather will be good... seriously. weather here so unpredictable lately man. rain one day panas terik the next... sheesh. whatever it is, planning on spending a good part of the time getting pampered at a spa and another part exploring islands.

OMG i'm so fucking sleepy now it's not funny. even writing a post at work is not helping. noooooo. best part is. i think i slept well last night. got a new pillow from the JL sale at expo. it's niiiiiiice. one of the best sleeps i've had in a long time. gawd i need a break. 9 working days to phuket... 9 working days to phuket.. 9 working days to phuket... 9 working days to phuket... *snore*

womaded. 25 aug 06

went to womad a couple of nights back... it was great! was hot, sweaty, face was oily, too many orang asing around but... it was great. fantastic night for ogling at hot guys too. haha. mooch and i went earlier than the rest of the people we were supposed to meet so we caught more acts.

chico was gd, t bone was very good, but radio mundial did it for me. awesome lah. check them out here. got some pics from the night but as usual, with camera phone, so they're dark, blurry and not very good. haha. the top stage had better acts than the main stage (with the exception of radio mundial who played the main stage. did i mention they were cute?) and we got lots of exercise in from going up and down stairs at fort canning.
radio mundial on stage and mooch & faisal posing on ground. can u spot them? yup, the shadowy forms. wahaha.

another shot of the main stage from afar. some woman named baca was singing. i think. can't remember which act it was.

mooches got me cool earrings! thanks mooch! we also tried a marshmellow brownie with ice cream from the brownie factory who had a stall there. fantastic lah. sticky, gooey, comfortingly cool sweetness on a hot night. go try at taka basement.

what else happened ah... oh ya we got pics taken by this photog dude so we're gonna be on nightlife.sg sometime soon i guess. no no not gonna be famous. checked it out and u have to sign up to retrieve yr pics. i don't mind lah but at the moment i'm too malas.

faisal, manoj and the rest stayed on at the subaru groove tunnel but mooch and i called it a night at 1++ am. radio mundial was still on stage packing up when we walked by to get to the exit. place was already kinda deserted and there was no sign of the swaying crowd that was there only minutes ago. this would've been a great op to get up close and take pics with the hotties but noooooo. naz had her usual case of starstruckness and didn't wanna go say hi. sheesh. so annoying. this is my biggest regret of the night. oh, and not dancing. i ain't got the groove baby. best not to try and end up embarrassing myself in the process. haha.

would've stayed longer, mebbe all night but alas work beckoned. had to help my aunt out at her stall on sat. flipping burgers over a hot grill on 2 hrs of sleep. fun and games man. i miss working there... it's damn shiok lah. tiring, but at least u're doing something useful, measurable and u get to meet people. hmph.

ok then off to paint the nursery... will put up pics once it's done and not while it's still a work in progress. hopefully can finish the main wall today. bubbai.

kayaked. 20 aug 06

ok late update, i know. haha. went kayaking last sun and it was AWESOME!! i wanna go again! this time round i want to use the sit on top kayak... which is available at bedok res. how convenient. wahaha. any takers?? please be a swimmer, cos i'm not.

i feel i should publicly apologise to faisal for abandoning him in favour of mooches. i have several good reasons!
1. brought mooch along in cas i was incapable of kayaking due to that time of the month.
2. turns out that the partner of one of the participants didn't come so she needed a partner.
3. faisal partnered her instead.
4. which is a good thing cos if i had sprung a leak (u know wat kind) in the same kayak as him, that would've been mighty embarrassing for both parties.

see... my actions were justified. haha. all of us had a good time anyway, so it's ok.

weather during the day was perfect for kayaking according to daniel. cloudy, slight drizzle, with a bit of sunshine. didn't get much of a tan but it's ok, nothing a phuket trip can't take care of. haha.

us rafting up for a photo op before heading out. our instructors for the day were daniel and kang wei. i think kang wei rather liked mooch and i cos he kept splashing us and tried to capsize us. wahaha. joke's on him tho, cos he ended up capsizing on one of his attempts.
rafting up again in front of god knows where in the kallang basin. i say mooch and i make a great team, cos we were leading the pack the entire time. wahaha. had lots of fun singing tunes in terrible voices. there were also plenty of dragon boaters around. we were shouting aussie3 oi3 to the aust teams but they ignored us! how rude... either that or tak dengar ah. haha.

coming from someone with a slight case of hydrophobia, all in all it was a great experience. damn shiok lah.

b'day dinner

i'm feeling rajin, so here are pics from the b'day dinner i had... the fitness ball my bro got me is the wrong size lah... gonna have to return and get the bigger one. mebbe even the biggest. haha.

youngest sis and i. yes, i am smaller than her. hard to do but shedonnit.
food glorious food...
family pic (minus lil bro, he was taking the pic) taken with phone camera. haha. out of batts for the digi cam and malas wanna bring, so bulky. i need me a small slim camera. time to downsize...

the birthday post (mortem)

sooo... it's my birthday today. funny how i'm always tempted to sing that 50 cent song each time anyone mentions a birthday. *it's your birthday, we're gonna party like it's your birthday*... speaking of songs which i can't get out of my head, my latest obsession is justin's sexy back. since i don't have the mp3 i just play the vid on youtube over and over again. haha. nah don't really watch the vid, just listen to the song. the bridge has me hooked. * dirty babe you see these shackles baby i'm your slave, i'll let u whip me if i misbehave, it's just that no one makes me feel this way* how can u not fall in love with something like that? haha.

anyways, i think i promised a list of sorts. i would refer back to my birthday post from last year in my friendster blog but alas it's being a bitch. you know u're getting old when u can count your age in... i dunno, groups? for this year it's 2 dozen. next year it's quarter of a century. when u're 30 it's 3 decades. hmm...

ok looking back on what i wanted last year (yay can access old blog now), these are the things which still elude me:

1) a blender. yeah i still want one.
x) handphone bling (don't really care about this anymore. love my phone!)
x) adidas shoes (ok probably out of stock or discontinued or something by now so i shall move on)
2) an iPod *sigh* are we not meant to be?
3) nine west shoes. hmm, think shall forget abt this too, cos they never have my size. shall stick with novo. mmmmmmm novo...
4) 3 letter word. haha. que sera sera.

let's add on to the list shall we?

5) fitness ball (bro getting for me. apparently)
6) ruby ring (mum is on the hunt for this as i type. she actually offered necklace or bracelet but since when do i wear such things? so i asked for the item below, but changed my mind and asked for the ring. mum asked wat my ring size was, i'm like, er, large? wahaha.)
7) bicycle. to explore the great outdoors. and possibly start cycling to work. ha. ha. ok ok shall not be so ambitious, cycle to the mrt station then.
8) crocs ballet slippers. yes, crocs has gone slightly pretty. so i shall endorse them and not slam them like i usually do. have yet to see these, er, in person, so until then, i want these only half as much as the rest of the stuff here. why do i want these? cos i don't wanna ruin my heels rushing to work in the morn. er heels of the shoe variety, not foot.
9) pda. both kinds? ha. ha. ha. was thinking hp ipaq...
10) contact lenses. like seriously. this should actually be on the necessary items list but i just can't be bothered to go get em. mebbe i will soon lah, current contacts are way way way past their use by date. poor eyes.

was actually gonna write down non- materialistic stuff like courage, patience, discipline, etc etc... but screw that! wahaha. mebbe next post.

so to everyone who wished me today (without being prompted, i'm impressed) so far, THANK YOU!!

touching touching. decided not to blatantly advertise on msn this year, so i just used a vague personal msg. haha. such is the behaviour of a twenty something who's showing signs of turning into an eccentric, rich, reclusive, 70 yr old virgin with 35 cats. yes yes i'm being negative and self- pitying. bite me. *it's my party and i'll cry if i want to* haha. hey at least i said i'll be rich and eccentric. those are good things right? right.

to put it succinctly

" no matter how cute you are considered back home, be prepared to feel like a troll here."

- tips on turkey, some magazine i came across

this is why turkey is on my eye candy tour list of places to visit. others are spain, portugal, italy and egypt. haha. tall, dark and handsome... mmmmmmm. it's an ogle orgy, people.

hmm 4 days to my birthday and i don't feel excited at all. maybe cos i'll be one year closer to quarter of a century this time round. noooooo. haven't even come up with a past, present (both kinds) and future list. i guess i will work on that soon enough.

in the meantime, i will be painting my future niece's nursery. let's hope that it won't turn out to be a boy cos i don't think he will be pleased with the flowers and butterflies in his lilac room. hopefully i won't be too lazy to take pics of my handiwork. hopefully.

will also be painting my own room in the near future, got the paint already and then it struck me that hey, wait a min, kinda looks like the shade in my room now! so i pried the lid off in a panic, took a sample and smeared it on my wall. thank god, wasn't colour blinded after all cos they're different. haha. would have gone with a deep rich burgundy colour but i thought it'd be too dark. so light reddish brown it is. ok ok so i'll be moving out next year but i don't care, realised that i hadn't painted the walls since we moved in. that's close to 8 years. it's about time! better late than never? haha.

ok off to draw up butterflies and such.

long time no see. kinda.

wow feels like it's been a while since i updated. what's been happening... hmm for latest news please refer to rohana's blog. wahaha. was just looking at my schedule and man, it's quite active for once. was just looking at my room and man, i seriously need to do some major spring cleaning. like, seriously. i got books on the floor, shopping bags, magazines, docs, everything everywhere. my wardrobe is also a huge huge mess. i hate it when i can't find my clothes. doesn't help that most are black and folded so they all look alike. haha. some of them are missing in action, i'm positive. question is, are the pieces lost under all my other stuff or have they been kidnapped and held against their will, alone and helpless in someone else's cupboard? come back my pretties, come baaaaack!

hmm what else... i feel like i finally understand what my purpose at work is. basically it's the same as my other attachment but it's disguised as something much more important and leceh. the message is: bring in the sales!! or we're gonna nail yo ass! sighs. i hate being profit driven. but salaries need to be paid, targets need to be met and the lights need to be switched on. so right, one of the newest tasks i'm handling is... research. market competition analysis. i don't really mind this actually, cos it means i have to read the news and just extract all the relevant info. do some surfing, make a few phone calls, put it all together in a nice, easy to read table cos the head loves tables. i hate excel. also get to mess around with the organisation's website and see how i can make our dept more noticeable.

there are worse things in life that i could do i guess.

i really wanna be good at this. now that i actually know my target, it's just a matter of reaching it. we're halfway there already apparently. no worries then... i love planning things out but i really really hate nitty gritty details. guess who has to take care of the details? also feel that i've been messing up at work a lot. it's nothing big, but it's a lot of little things. every single one of them seem to be stacked up against me by the seniors, u know. maybe it's just me thinking that but they don't really mind. nah. they definitely do mind. the ngiao type, u know. god i hate working with women. my senior exec is pretty ok though, she's nice. for now anyway. i better pick up the slack before everything comes crashing down on me. haha.

speaking of which, my dad got retrenched last week. he seems pretty happy about it, kinda like early retirement. i dunno... i am worried but everyone else doesn't seem to be. why?? i really don't get it. dad did get a pretty huge lump sum from the co. but it ain't gonna last forever man. oh well. we'll see what happens... but as of last week, i'm the so called 'sole breadwinner' in the household. cheers.

the start of something long & painful

wah shit. my thighs hurt, my butt hurts, my abs hurt... i feel like an old woman. can't even sit down without wincing sia!!

why am i aching all over the lower torso? no shaz, there's nothing dirty about this, sorry to disappoint you. haha. i went for a 6km jog at east coast, then another 6km walk back to the car. wahlau ehhhhh. this was totally not in the plan on sun. my neighbour, his colleague and i were supposed to do interval training at bedok stadium. unfortunately there was something going on there so i opened my big mouth and suggested east coast. doh.

we literally went as far as we felt like going. which meant that we stopped when we saw the familiar golden arches of macdonalds... then we had komala's for dinner. sat outside, and there was this bar with live music just beside komala's so we had good music while having dinner and watching the dusk settle on the very crowded east coast beachfront. shiok ah. that's how life should be, sun, sand, sea and sweat. haha. also saw people building sandcastles. niiiiiiiiiice. i wanna build sandcastles tooooo!

i think this is gonna turn into a weekly thing, insyaallah. morning would be less crowded ah, but who would get up that early on a weekend man? whoever wants to come along for a leisurely jog along the beach is welcome!! or skate or cycle or whatever. haha. hmm skate... this is the start of my 'disgustingly fit' program. hopefully.

ok i'm done rambling. 2 days to payday. woohooooo! i think i have a serious shopping addiction. sighs... better shopping than eating i reckon.

it's the thought that counts!

ok i know this is a bit the belated but i say better late than never. so...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROHANA!!!

wahaha. wanted to do this yest but then my pc was being a bitch and i didn't feel like dealing with it.

i can't wait to go watch the rummage!! and we sooo have to get dessert at menotti's. mmmm... menotti's...

warning: disgusting post ahead

omg guys, i just HAD to blog about this. errrr those who don't wanna hear about asses, discharge and the like, please stop reading NOW.

yesterday and today, i was a bit scared for my life. this is due to me excreting some foul smelling orange (yes, ORANGE) oily stuff from my ass. see, i told you it's disgusting wat. best part, it only happened last night. thank god i make it a habit of wearing pantyliners all the time even when wearing thongs. phew. never hurts to be safe man. i was quite alarmed when it happened cos i was like, whoa whoa whoa, i haven't taken any kind of supplements at all for the past few days! so can't be a side effect from anything. only been eating loads of good food. started thinking, omg, this is payback time for not exercising for so long and slacking off and not taking care of my diet. OH MAN. thought i was really in the shits. literally. was already picturing going to the doc, and getting grave life threatening results back.

thought to myself, ok chill, relax, let's see if it continues for a few days. if it does then confirm must go doc lah. so guess what, it was still happening today!! i thought, muther. fucker. started to panic and think of all sorts of things that could be wrong. did my digestive track just give up? did my liver or kidneys throw in the towel? is my rectum on strike?? so i decided to do what everyone does when faced with a potentially embarrassing, iffy health crisis. i googled the symptoms. then i found this.
eureka!! thank god for the power of the internet and fellow paranoid users!!

the culprit my friends.... is butterfish!! all the while i was blaming it on the braised chicken handmade noodles i had for lunch yesterday cos it was the only thing out of the ordinary that i had. apparently i had to go back to the day before, when i had dinner at the manhattan fish market. it's the butterfish!! excellent, divine butterfish in black pepper sauce with garlic rice it was too. although i did have one HELL of a stomachache right after. took the bus home and i didn't reach home a second too soon. not a second too soon, mates. i think my friend thought i was gonna pass out in the bus from the cramping. hahaha. those who are familiar with my cold sweat moments will know what i'm talking about.

phew. mystery solved. so guys, all i have to do now is wait for the rest of the indigestible oil to get passed out and we're good! hmm looks like i'm getting a free intestine cleansing and butt moisturizing. hahaha.

power to the gods of google!!!!

another one off the market

ok i know this is a bit overdue but here it is now:

CONGRATULATIONS HUDA & REZA ON YOUR MARRIAGE!!!

haha don't think they read my blog but it's the thought that counts! happy couples make me happy... spread the good cheer ya!

pics wise... hmm... wait long long? haha. stupid pc can't connect to net lah, so i've been on my ibook the past week or so. kinda annoys me when i have to do stuff like pic editting and cropping cos a) i don't have a mouse b) jordan is kinda sloooooow cos his RAM is not that high and the software installed is the latest so it takes a lot to run it and c) i tend to be lazier as i'm on the bed and not sitting up. haha.

been thinking of reformatting the pc... but i dunno how! it's too complicated! haha. then hv to transfer all the files... leceh. relek sua. may not solve the prob sommore. so my next plan is to wait a couple of months for comex 2006, then go get me my 1st desktop pc. noooooooooooo! oh well. guess u can't go wrong with having both apple and windows at home. i bet can get some super good deals there too... hmm. bersabar lah. 31 aug to 3 sept if im not wrong. the next dilemma, beat the crowd by going on the earlier days or get better deals by going on the later days? are these assumptions of mine even valid? who has comex experience?? please advise!!

ok lah back to work... yawns.

fluffy white clouds

for the record, can i just reiterate once again- i. am. a. sucker. for. sweet. talk.

thank you.

please ignore the redundancy of certain words. no matter how power i think my english is, i am still a fool.

i am going to try to improve on my use of the language in my future posts. i will also try to not talk about mundane things that may bore whoever is reading it. if i get bored reading my own blog, come on, something is wrong there ain't it.

pfffft nah, just kidding guys. no reprieve for u...

disclaimer: oh no i just realised i more or less plagiarised off rohana's blog! sorry! same topics!!

falling asleep as i type this...

sighs. no mood to work ah. so i shall blog! need to respond to negative feedback mah. hahaha.

so... the reason i haven't been blogging is cos i've been busy writing emails to people on the other side of the world who are 7 whole hours behind... works like this: chat when i get back from work, the person writes an email when i'm already in dreamland, i get the email in the morn when i reach work, and then i reply. when i leave work, person just starts work and replies to the email. by the time i reach home i have an email waiting for me and the person is online for a chat. complicated? ok let's keep it that way.

my stupid pc at home is down. dunno why also. bro can't fix it. the lan is connected according to the pc but the net can't be accessed. so dumb right? no idea what's wrong. could be the router but then i don't wanna mess with that, just in case it fucks up the whole thing and i can't surf at all. the net still works on my beloved jordan and the pc in the other room. i'm tempted to get a new pc. either that or a mac. then again my beloved jordan still works like a dream tho he's a bit slow in his old age. i don't need a replacement yet. hmm. succumbing to gates? nooooo. i want a killer lcd display tho. hehe. cd burner is a must, and a fast processor. naz waits for no comp. wahaha. unless it's my beloved jordan. oh jordan, how i am besotted with thee.

anyways. forgot to write about the dnd hahaha. this just shows that it wasn't that great. actually, that's not true. was pretty cool. and i spent a grand total of $3.90 for a headband! woohoo! the rest of the outfit i had already. just mix and match. my colleagues were performing so they had cool costumes on. damn, wish i had dressed up too. nevermind there's always next year! they won 2nd place i think... oh ya i won a steam iron in the lucky draw. wahaha. better than nothing i reckon... got $100 voucher for glasses sommore. god knows how much i need glasses. went to the shop on sun but it just did not look appealing. will try again another day. or go to another branch or something.

on sat night i had dinner with a friend, her man and her friends. had a lovely time. i absolutely adored watching the couple. sighs. made me believe in love all over again. haha. i hope they end up married soon. damn damn damn sweet ok. my favourite part was during dessert. they were sitting across each other then she was talking, and he just gently cupped her face in his hands and smiled into her eyes. waaaaaaah so romantic laaaaaaah. can die ok. i'm more than determined to find me a man now. or whenever. super sweet. was smiling to myself and couldn't sleep. or maybe my insomnia could've been attributed to the awesome dessert at menotti's. awesome. i can't remember what it's called though. was a choc cake oozing with warm choc fudge/ sauce and ice- cream on the side. mmmmm....

actually i think i overindulged in dessert this week. had ben and jerry's fossil fuel (pure decadence) on wed and nydc on sun. hmm. someone has to start exercising again, it seems...
