The Great Escape

The long weekend was great!

Friday started off shopping with LiLi! Well, more like hunting 2 things that she needs for this coming weekend - a wedding and a company function, both with themes. That's what made the hunt started in the first place! At least we got one of them covered - a dress that suits the theme of the wedding at a cheap price! Hahaha.. Then at night, we went to party at one of the new "in" places called Rootz at Lot 10. I don't even know it exist in the first place until LiLi told me about it. What I can say about Rootz is... it could have been an awesome place to party if only it wasn't too small in terms of size or, they limit the number of people inside. Seriously, it's hard to find a table and it was really packed like sardine. It was so difficult to dance. That's the downfall which made it wasn't an entirely enjoyable night but it was alright because get to party with friends! :D

The next day I started the day quite awfully because of the rain. I sent my car for a wash. But as soon as I put my car at the car wash and walked to the nearest mamak to have my lunch, I heard the sky drumming, signalling it was going to rain. I prayed that it won't rain so soon but guess my prayers weren't answered as it rained heavily. I have no choice but to wait for 1 hour plus for the rain to stop. During that time, I managed to read 2 magazines and the rain still wasn't slowing down. And that alone, really is a torture, well sort of. Wrong time to rain!! After I saw that it was slowing down, I quickly went and take my car and head back home where I faced a massive terrible jam right outside my house! I think it was due to flash flood which happened often each time it rained heavily. I got stucked for half an hour for a 2-minute drive back home. Worst, the petrol signal started to blink indicating, going to run out of petrol! Thankfully, I managed to get home safely! Phew!

However, the second part of the day was good. At night, we went to this place at a top of the hill where it was popular for its view of the KL city. It's far from where I stay but, when we reached the top, the view was really great! For those who want to know what am I referring to, it's Look-out Point in Ampang. Great place for a romantic night-out. Tips to couples! Hahaha.. After that, we head down to Library at the Curve for chill-out time. First time there and it was not bad. But, according to friends, the drinks (referring to the alcohol drinks) were a bit expensive compared to others. I don't drink so I wouldn't know. Hahaha...

On Sunday morning, I attended a homestay to Japan orientation to learn what's homestay is all about. I was interested to join this programme if given I got the time and money. What I learned was, homestay is seriously not like travelling. You have an image to take care of when you're in a foreign country living with a foreign family. So, you really got to portray yourself well as you'll be representing your country. But other than that, I feel it's a good experience to go to such programme. And should do it when you're young. Wait till I have the money first! LOL! And I met Ping here who has signed up to the programme to Hokkaido next month! Have fun, girl! :D

In the evening was movie time! Went and catch the second installation of Twilight, New Moon. Well, the movie was as I expected. I never really put high expectation to this movie as the first one wasn't that superbly great to begin with. Before the twilight fans come and butcher me, I read 4 of the Twilight books and I love all of them. But, what's in the books wasn't really captured in the movie. Well, that is what to expect when you bring the story to life in films. You can't show everything that was written. Thus, the movie lack the depth of the story and Bella, Edward, Jacob were given just a surface kind of character development. When I watched the movies, I felt Bella, Edward and Jacob lacked of that extra something that made us fans go crazy over the books. That is why, the Edward that I love in the book is just not the same with the Edward that I see in the movie. I for one, am always on Team Edward! LOL! Nevertheless, I'll still watch Eclipse and Breaking Dawn (if they are making it). And, I'll still love Edward! LOL! :P

P/S: I know I should have blogged about my Paris trip, but I was too lazy to blog about it. I shall blog about it soon! :)

When...

Sometimes you think you are of what importance because you feel somehow, somewhere what you have done will make worth of that importance. However, when you are slapped with the reality that shows what you have been denying all this time is true, you tend to wonder what should you do now? Shrugs to me now. SIGH!                         

And So...

I was such a wet blanket 2 days ago. I feel I can eat up a person even though he or she wasn't doing anything wrong. I know, it seems like I got attitude problem. LoL! Anyways, I always have this moment when I found out something is wrong and I don't know how to solve it. And, I was bitter over it. Make it, VERY bitter.

Although now I'm no longer a wet blanket as I can make jokes, smile, laugh without eating anyone up, the issue still doesn't seem to have any solution. Well, sort of. I did kind of came up with a plan. But to know whether the plan would work to solve my issue, that's entirely a different story. And also, I'm not too confident in it as my plan might backfire, due to I'm a softy no matter what.

The plan is simple... what you do to others, will do to you too. Yeah, it sounds so bitterly revengeful right? But, actually... it's more like showing what is wrong rather than telling it is wrong. Some people just need to be put in other people's shoes to know how it feels. However, me being a softy, given time I might just forget all about it and back to square one. And that is what I'm afraid of. So... I need to pull this off successfully without making it worst. Sounds like a challenge which... I also not sure how am I going to do it successfully. Seriously, what's so hard to sometimes make yourself think of others? Gosh!

And You Thought You Know Best

Sometimes you thought you know the person so well after many years. But seriously, how well do you know the person? After all the years you know the person, of course you feel the person will be concern or care for you. That is what everyone will assume, isn't it? But how come there are loop holes that indicate otherwise? How come suddenly you feel the person has turn so selfish? Has turn into someone who has full-heartedly been receiving but not giving? What went wrong?

Is it wrong to think that if you are kind to others, somehow the kindness will rub onto the person? In reality, does it ever work? All the while I've been trying my best to be the good person that I am, even to the extend that the person tell me I was near perfect but somehow, I don't feel the perfectness. I feel I'm still on the losing end. How can that be?

Is it ever wrong to ask for someone to show a little bit of concern. Is it ever wrong? If it's not wrong why some people just won't show it? No matter how much you have been giving and yet, there's simply no receiving anything back. Then what's the point of giving so much? In the end, will just end up being so stupid facing the selfish reality. And that alone, truly hurts.

The Problem With Anger

Would you believe me if I say I have anger issues? Yes, most of the time I can be damn relax, happy-go-lucky feeling but when my anger strikes, is like all hell breaks loose. Probably some don't know that when I'm so pissed off I feel like throwing things (and it happened before). The anger just kept on building up until I feel I need to release it out and throwing things seems to suit my situation. I know it's bad that's why I've all along tried to control my temper whenever I felt the anger is coming. You can call this episode as "almost to detonation". And today, I felt it.

I was angry because a promise wasn't fulfilled which is not something new actually. I even told myself, don't expect it to happen. But, even though I told myself that, I still look forward to it. Stupid, I know. So, when it REALLY didn't happen, the anger just strike up. Of course I felt like yelling, demanding for explanation but I didn't do that as I was still in control. I got my explanation and apology but I felt the "sorry" that was given far too many times doesn't help ease the anger anymore. The first few times, yes, I was considerate but after too often, the word is just a meaningless word that won't make things better. Seriously, I don't want the apology. It will make things way, way better if... the promise was fulfilled eventually, no matter when.

I guess half of the anger was also towards myself. Felt angry because I was too stupid to ever believe it. When will I ever learn, seriously? So yeah, the anger didn't subside after few hours. I really felt like detonating. I seriously hate this feeling. I hate when my anger kept on building up as it will bring back all the negative emotions. I hate it so much but yet people will still make me pissed off. I'm not so easily pissed but why would people push me till that stage? I'm afraid one day my anger will overwhelm me. Hoping that the time won't come. If only people will uphold their promises.

Anyway, after going out to get some "fresh air", I felt much better but still... a tiny bit of anger is still there. But at least I don't feel like detonating! Too much of disappointment is seriously, NOT HEALTHY! Sigh... when will I ever get over my stupidity? *shrugs*

My Top 5 Treat List

I'm sure everyone has their list of things they want to get be it, a gorgeous dress they saw at a shop but can't afford it, a book they are so into it but the price is over their budget, holidaying at a sunny beach of California but the expenditure is overbearing. This kind of list just gives us an aim and motivation to achieve what we have always wanted. And so, here is my special Top 5 Treat List which I really should treat myself to. I rarely ever treat myself, only occasionally. Let's kickstart to the first on the list!

#1 Discovering Japan with good friends

Ohayo, Japan!

I have always LOVE to visit Japan. It is one of my top list countries that I want to go since... FOREVER. Experiencing a different culture, learning a few Japanese words, eating those oishii Japanese food and being in a totally vast technological country seem to be the ideal treat for a getaway! I couldn't ask for more than THIS! :D

#2 A karaoke session with friends

Let's sing along!

Alright, I may sound super alien here but I HAVE NEVER been to a karaoke session. Never once and I've been dying to go to one. So, treating myself to a first-time singing my lungs out, is such a good thing, isn't it? It will be great if my birthday is to be held in a karaoke room with friends going crazy in the room. Just somehow reminded me of a scene in the Korean drama, My Name is Kim Sam Soon where the couple and the girl's mother and sister went crazy karaoke-ing. I would love that! LOL!

#3 A tub of Baskin Robbins or Haagen Dazs

Yummy-licious!

After trying my best to keep on budgeting and budgeting, I rarely had any Baskin Robbins or Haagen Dazs. For me, that's luxury ice-cream. The one thing that I can indulge in is McDonald's RM1 ice-cream cone or IKEA's RM1 ice-cream cone. Sounds cheapskate but times are bad. *shrugs*. So for once, I really would love to indulge myself in a tub of Baskin Robbins or Haagen Dazs. And after finishing the whole tub, my face will be planted with that HUGE satisfying smile which just shows how YUMMY the ice-cream is. Aahhh... heaven!

#4 Stuffing myself with Korean BBQ and other Korean delicacies

Oh-so sumptuous. Drooling!

Korean BBQ is just THE BOMB! Thinking about it already made me salivating. Damn! Each time I watch any Korean drama, my urge to eat those Korean food will instantly appear. The kimbap, bibimbap, bbq beef/pork, kimchi ramen... OMG! I really, seriously need to treat myself to that! *slurps*

#5 Sipping Starbucks coffee while surfing the net

Just right for me!

I never have the privilege of enjoying a cup of iced latte in Starbucks while surfing the net there. Alright, I may be able to do that on my smart phone BUT with a laptop is so much better and easier! And I never own a laptop before to enjoy the benefits (SERIOUSLY). If I have a Dell Inspiron 13, my idea of treating myself to enjoy a cool iced latte on a sunny, hot Sunday afternoon while chatting with friends on MSN and blogging will be materialised! How cool is that? I can basically online anywhere. I can even enjoy my coffee/tea while doing my work at Starbucks, Old Town and etc., and when I'm sick of doing my work, just click onto YouTube! I can online when I go back to my hometown too! How convenient! All I need is the sleek-looking Dell Inspiron 13. *grins*

So, there goes my Top 5 Treat List! Sounds achievable? Well, I DO hope to achieve all that! *cross my fingers* Dell has a special coupon code for those who purchase the Dell Inspiron 13. Present the code and you'll get a RM100 Instant Cash Redemption. It is only available online or by calling them. The coupon will only valid until 10 November 2009, which is SOON! The code: 7ZQVQF2RLZRKW3, So, hurry hurry!

Green Eyes Monster

So yeah I'm having green eyes now. Big deal. But I can't help it when I hear my friends each and everyone has something going on during this weekend. One had gone up to Genting with friends to party, another is already at Poppy tonight and have plans during the weekend, another went back hometown because out-of-town friends are coming down and another has farewell party today & friend's birthday tomorrow at Velvet. And me, plan-less. So why not the green eyes?

I heard on radio that they are having a blood donation drive tomorrow at the Curve. Since I got nothing to do and I'm not on any medication, probably I can go donate some blood. I've been wanting to do it for so many times but each time I'm always on medication. It looks like an excuse but it's true!! I was on antibiotics at that time. So yeah, maybe I'll do some charity. Will see how!

But I'm still having that green eyes! :P

Updated: Note to self - google first before simply heading to anywhere. The blood donation drive is only happening next week, 15 November! Me, being so smart, went to the Curve today thinking I can go and donate blood. Turns out, it was such a waste of time and money (I had to pay my parking for nothing!). Sigh! Should have checked before going.

AAR Gives A Rocking Concert

As usual after every production, I'll take a break to rest back home. And this time, I spent 4 days at home doing nothing but eat, sleep and watch my TVB marathon. I managed to finish 2 TVB dramas! And on Saturday, I came back up to catch the All American Rejects (AAR) concert organised by DiGi Music. The concert was initially to be scheduled on 10 October but because the lead singer, Tyson Ritter had a knee injury, it was postponed to yesterday.

Alright, I got to be upfront. I wasn't very keen to watch AAR as I wasn't their biggest fan. I do have a few of their songs from their first album but I'm definitely not a devoted fan. But since it's free as I'm a DiGi user and my friends are going, so why not. However, this I got to add. On the day the concert was to go on, I was re-thinking whether I should go or not. But because there's no reason to convince me not to, I went in the end!

We waited for quite awhile for it to start as you know, international stars can't be on time. Oh ya, before that, there were also our local acts performing but we skipped all that to get to the main event - AAR. When the band finally appeared, everyone went wild. I would say they have great showmanship. They interact with the crowd well. Actually, Tyson knows how to entertain the crowd. Thumbs up! Overall, it was a rocking concert although I felt it was quite a short one. And what we observed, there were lots of youngsters as in teenagers attending. We felt a tiny bit "old". Hahahaha.. Despite the drizzle, it was quite an awesome concert on a Halloween Day! Cheers to that! :D
