Finally, an update on the layout. I got bored with the black background...doesn't suit my current mood of being happy :)



Today started out very good. Went out shopping with sis, brother-in-law and nephew. Only after lunch, my day turned bad. I sprained my leg while walking down the stairs. Right now, there's a pack of ice on my swollen ankle. I'm so clumsy... Nicki is coming over [instead of me going to her place]. Another sleepover; she wanted to go clubbing but my feet got in the way. I wasn't in the mood of dancing anyway.



For some reason, I am awake at odd hours at nights thinking of stuffs [Evonne, this is your influence on me]. Stuff that sometimes make me; a very unhappy person. The moment that happens; I suddenly will have the urge of calling someone. Em or Tim..but I can't afford calling overseas anymore [bank balance left only RM250]. Shah has been my night companion; coz he's always calls around 3am or so. Why, coz he needs someone to help him brainstorm. Me being a very kind ex-girlfriend would always help out even though; I will end up sleeping over the phone. [mygod, this ankle is killing me] Smsing Mark while blogging right now.



Listening to a cd I found in one of my boxes [I can't believe I still keep stuff in boxes; to lazy to unpack]. Suprisingly, it's the cd that Michael gave me for Valentine's Day during the first year we were together. My favourite song is playing [no one knows about it except him]. Ahhh...the memories flooding into my mind. Chinese New Year is just around the corner. I called up Uncle earlier to ask if he intends on celebrating it. The answer was no and yes. No coz mummy's death. Yes coz the house is being sold after CNY. Most probably I'll stay over there during CNY to keep him conpany. Slightly happy that Uncle is moving on with his life. Must be a huge sadness upon him for losing a wife and a son [Michael] so soon in life.



On a happier note, Nicki is here. I seriously need a massage; my back and neck is killing me. I hate getting periods...damn those menstrual cycles!!

I'm back to my healthy self. No more sniffing, no more coughing and thank god, no more medicine. Those pills really do make my hair shed! Major treatment sessions are in need for my darling hair...Shari being very vain nowadays.



Right now, working on getting a new layout for this blog. I'm that bored at home so decided to make full use of my free time. I even started to do gardening...or more like killing mum's flowers. So this blog wouldn't be updated as often until I get the layout ready.



Planning to meet up with Kavin again. Next saturday coz this week I'm broke. Really need to see aunt for my monthly allowance. Not sure what the plans are for the meet-up though. A movie? Lunch, of course.

Yesterday [Sunday] around 12.10 pm, I met up with Mark. Meeting up with him almost every month now; nice to rekindle the forgotten friendship that we have. Promised him that I'll be in One Utama around 11-ish; a promise that I tried to keep until I saw Uncle Rosli's car parked in front of my car. So, I had to get out of my car to salam [meaning greet] my uncle and aunt; saw my cousins in the car but I just waved at them coz I was already late. Drove as fast as I could; the roads were pretty clear so the drive to O.U was a pleasant one.



I was pretty surprised at how quick and easy it was to get a parking space; cos that mall is always [over]packed with cars. While I was parking, Mark called...wondering where I was coz he remembered my promise. Hurried myself up to meet him in front of Guess boutique. I saw Mr Walter [my Marketing lecturer-my favorite as well] with his two kids; I didn't talked to him [coz on the phone with Mark]; all I did was smiled and waved like a lunatic. Hopefully, I didn't offend him especially at this when I'll be getting my exam results. Mark and I mostly walked around..I had to control myself from buying anymore clothes. Damn it, almost everywhere I turned, I saw the sign "SALE". If only I could spend my $$$.....



Mark made a reservation at Italianni's for 12 something [due to his prediction of me being late]. We decided go there slightly earlier than our reservation time. The waitress gave us a booth seat which was quite comfortable. Decided to share pizza and pasta yet again. Mark the brave ordered a bottle of red wine [which he drank by himself]...the result was a very tipsy Mark. That was quite a sight to see..him with the so-called glow from the wine. Only 2 slices of pizza were left [which I had to take home]. He even tried to make me drink. He’s planning to have his birthday party there; can’t wait for it. I’ll make sure he’ll order two bottles this time…but only for himself.



The movie was at 2.50 pm so we had plenty of time to walk around. Mark actually had to hold my hand while walking...see, where drinking gets you. Mark bought a wine bottle opener at Parkson U. We also headed for Tower Records to check out [over-priced] cds. Throughout the day, Mark made comments about how he loved the color pink [I was wearing pink that day]. We sat down on a bench [while he was busy fiddling with my pashmina, commenting how soft it is] and talked about stuff like the food at Dome, to our parents expectation of our marriage age. He was still tipsy from the wine at this point, my shoulder became his pillow for awhile [his head was too big, though]The movie [National Treasure] was a slight let-down for myself. It wasn't to the standards of Indiana Jones...the only thing I loved about the N.T was the way they had to solve the clues. Other than that, nothing much.



By the time the movie was over, I had another event to go to. Mark asked if I could give him a lift to a LRT station [Mark, you don't have to ask..I'm always willing to help a friend out]. Before we left OU, we bought a copy of the Cleo magazine each.The only station on my way to Shah Alam was Kelana Jaya. So that's where I dropped him off. Before he left, he gave me a big bear hug [which I felt was really nice].After that, I called home to check if I still had to go to my aunt's house [which mum said it was fine if I didn't attend] so I headed straight home coz I was really tired. The rest of Sunday was pretty much a blur for me except I lost my temper at the two brats for throwing their soccer balls at me.



As for today, I’m still down with the flu. Aqif made me buy junk food for him. Brother is on leave to make his IC and I’m looking forward to start reading Cleo.

Surprisingly, I'm still awake. Just got off the phone with Em. Talked about "that girl" again. I don't see the point of being nice to a person who's obviously out to make your life miserable. That's the problem with Em; she's just too damn nice. As for me, once a person has crossed the boundaries of my friendship too often, I'll never forgive the person for whatever crap that the person pulls on me. Thank god I know how to select my friends better nowadays.



I just have this feeling that something big is going to happen soon. Not sure what it is though. My family problems has got from bad to worse. Words like "court", "lawsuit" and "lawyers" keeps coming out nowadays; I hope nothing happens. I don't see the point of argument between the rest of the family against my grand-dad/aunt. Adults think everything can be work out through courts; sigh..if only people can get along with one another without any emotional baggage.



On the phone now with my cousin, D. D's having problems with Aunt J [her mum] AGAIN. This time is [yet again] about D's guy. D is now dating this guy from her workplace in Langkawi. I guess they're madly in love. The only problem is that Aunt J thinks her darling daughter deserves better. Why the hate towards the guy? Well, the guy is from a poor family and only has a diploma. Come on, doesn't mean a diploma can't get you anywhere. I know a few guys who are now very much well-off with only a diploma qualifications. D asked for my advice.



Well, my advice is just go for it. A person's status in life shouldn't be the basis of a relationship; a poor person could be rich the next day; one's future is never certain [only God knows our fate in life]. I don't know if I'm giving her the right advice since I'm very into the idea of "Nothing in life should stand in the way of love". Yet again, I don't want my cousin to go against my aunt but if it was my choice, I would totally choose my guy........I even asked my dad's opinion about it. To my surprise, he shares the same opinion as me, he's even willing to talk to my aunt about it [he said that maybe he can change his sister's mindset on the guy]. Proud of my dad now. I believe parents should control their child's life to a certain extent; I don't mind if there's a curfew for me or whether I need to call home if I'm not coming home for a night out on the town...one thing [among others] that I hate is restrictions on who I can/can't see [thank god, my parents don't have this]. I had this talk once with mum before; she said no matter who I choose as friends or bfs in the future, she won't object to my choices unless she knows for sure that person is no good.



Overall, I've learnt that you can't get love unless you're willingly to give and take. Wish you all the best, D. I'll support you no matter what.
