Totally pooped! I don't know where my energy went....I seems to be short of energy these days. Gone are the days where I can work 7 days , going on average from 10 pm to 2am on a daily basis.
So, I'm determined to have a Fabulous Weekend!!
I need a break (and I'm only 3 months down the road with this new employer!)....
IRON MAN
Everyone has been raving about Iron Man....
And I had to watch it...so, being as desperate as I am...I resorted to watching it alone! Coz I need to buy the ticket (for 3 weekends in a row, I've failed to secure tickets to Iron Man), and no one can confirm if they can watch it with me! Well...so I'll go alone. There's nothing like having the liberty of a single woman, going to the movies alone!!!! Just that it kinda sucks when the couple next to you can't keep their hands off each other and had to suck face every now and then! Which is totally irrelevant.........how can you kiss each other when Robert Downey Jr. aka Tony Sparks is trying out his cool new titanium suit, in shiny red and gold....whoooooooo!
Tat's so bloody cool!!!! And the cars.....LOL!! I can imagine people going "Holy Shit!" when Iron Man lands on one of the sports car and sorta crushed it...LOL.
--mental note : need to get an Audi coupe.....well, need to improve own driving skills first and, errr if i have the money...--
FAMILY TIME
Brekkie with parent....Daddy called for a family breakast gathering on Saturday morning....Was given the morning call at 9 ish....sigh! Its such a drag to wake up early on Saturday, after a long week at work. But its good ....had BKT. Totally broke all diet rules......if there's a 10 commandment in Dieting, I think I'm the TOP-OF-THE -LIST SINNER.........
Well Daddy suggested that we do some exercise after the heavy meal, so we headed to One Utama for a shopping trip. So...if you guys ever wonder why I need to shop even though I don't have anything to buy....I got it from my DAD....yes...believe me, its DADDY's gene.
RETAIL THERAPY
And the best of all (grinning with glee).....Daddy bought me my very own PDA phone...this beauty called HTC Diamond!! Lovely..comes with WIFI and GPS....exactly what a girl need! I can't wait until they WIFI-ed the whole of Klang Valley....
Bought myself a pair of shoes....I need it for work. After a spring cleaning exercise, I've thrown away about 6 pairs of working shoes....some as old as 3-year-old! So i've got a whole new collection....
1) A pair of beige pointed toes heels, with black trimmings - bought this with Elaine and HY sometime early March 2008. My only surviving pair of working shoes since the massacre where all my working shoes died on me within the same week (i think its sometime on 3rd week of May 2008)
2) A pair of sandal with turqoise satin finishing, and black trimmings. Not at all expensive and I love it. I have this thing for turqoise....
3) A whimsical pair of heels, with straw weaving finishing throughout. Open toe, with approximately 3.5 inch heels. Sturdy heels...but its bloody painful and difficult to walk in it. Best to wear it while sitting down and not walking. Perfect for admiring - yeah, I'm pathetic! Bought this for less than RM200, and I sorta fell in love with the name of the brand : Martina Pink. A new whimsical brand, sold at Tangs.
4) A black pointed toe heels, with white stitching, from JWest @ Parkson. Apparently, the brand hailed from Singapore. I don't really care...as long as I can walk in it and this is going to be the staple pair that I'll be wearing most days. Coz its comfy and easy to walk in....
Yeah...another damage to the bank balance.
5) Latest addition this Saturday. Bought a black slingback, pointed toe shoes from Nine West. Initially went in to check out the bags, but once I tried on the shoes, gosh...its really comfy, despite it being pointed toe and all......yeah, there goes MORE money.
I supposed, I won't feel so guilty if I line up all my shoes and place my bank balance next to them. It should totally justify the need to spend money on these shoes........THEY ARE NECESSITY! Rite? rite.......rite???????
Yeah....even though my bank statement doesn't look too healthy, I believe that there's no point in depriving yourself in the thrill of retail therapy after a hard day of work! What's the point of working so hard when you cannot enjoy what you earned????
Another reason to ask for a raise in pay huh??? Or look for a better-paid job.....
YEah...so I get my kick from retail therapy this Sat...which add to the fabulosity of this weekend!!!! Spoken like a true SHOPAHOLIC....way to go Sista...Sophie Kinsella!!
ALONE TIME
I've got the right music (lounge jazz), room at the right temperature, lightings right.....and yeah...I snuck under my couch in one corner of my room...and watch Greys' Anatomy. After that, I continue my reading of Nora Roberts' Blood Brothers....spooky and creepy with some spice in between! Yeah..and sipping tea....such bliss....and its all free. (LOL...ok, electricity is not cheap, but I supposed if I don't go out, I save on petrol???)
Well, I enjoy some peace and quite. Time to just look at things and chill.....
SUNDAY :
Errr....sorta promised JJ aka Teh Ais I'll go watch him play basketball for CIPS. Its the Inter-Departmental Game thingy at PwC. Elaine is down in S'pore...so poor JJ....err....yeah...no one to cheer for him la. Problem is, I have to wake up at about 9am, go brekkie with Ai Ling (manage to snag her to accompany me) and drive to Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club for the basketball match.
Now..I play netball. So I figure Basketball should be something like netball...but turned out that the point system is kinda diff. And its kind of disappointing that CIPS lost every single game.......
Well, I supposed its the spirit of the game that counts? I think I'll take that back...since some of the guys blamed it on me....saying my appearance at the game, sorta jinxed everything!!
Entirely NOT true..........i think its a matter of skills......OUCH...did I just bruised someone's EGO?? heheheheheeh....its my blog, i get to say what I want... :P
YEah, then we went for chocolate fondue at Dessert Bar@ Plaza Damas. Service is really bad compared to the outlet at Casa Tropicana......slow, portions are smaller, the nuts was not roasted and crushed properly (but I have to give credit that they use a mixture of pistachio and almond, and I think there may be some macadamia...not sure, but I think I tasted some macadamia), and the ice-cream was served partially melted.....
And the day ended with a super heavy meal at Crystal Palm, Sentul. A hidden gem....if you are looking for fresh seafood (sturgeon, soon hock (wat's the english name??), patin and etc), the traditional Treasure Pot (Pun Choy) and etc. Really good food at a reasonable price...
Yeah, once again I've sinned (in the Bible of Dieting).
I need the miracle pill.....one pill to burn all the excess fats. Sigh...maybe if Tony Sparks not making weapon, maybe he can invent something that burns fats??? I mean, they created the revolutionary La Mer Cream developed by a aerospace physicist called Max Huber. . . that'll miraculously make skin looks younger. So I supposed something can be concocted to burn fat? Maybe a handheld device, that can zap fats away at selected spots??
Watched Kimora Lee Simmon's Life at Fab Lane....gosh! She's one woman who love to live her life posh!! LOL....yeah...but I can't help but noticed the bimbo-ness that somehow, helped propel her status as "a fashion mogul"! I guess some people has it all....she's got the exotic look, the model body PLUS curves.....rare for a model, but I think its important to have the CURVES (boobs and bootie in the right proportion...sorry for being crude), not like the waif-like kate moss (she's cool, but errr.....she's thin....rail thin, stick thin...dunno lar) and KIMORA is bloody successful. Seems like she can turn simple things into GOLD.....can u imagine selling Hello Kitty stuff as high-end fashion?? I mean, they sell it at Petaling Street here wor..... :P
YEah...its time do some stretches and sit ups, and pop to bed. Coz tomorrow is the start of a new week....traffic jam (school holiday is over), crazy/mundane time at work......and fingers crossed,, I may be seeing our dear Sum on Monday Nite!!! Muaks....nitey nite, people.....
-MH : Phew...tat was one long blog! If I'm narrating it, I think my jaw will be tired from talking too much.......-
