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.
