I'm having this horrible sore throat I just hope it won't turn out to be a full flown fever and flu what with the weather being so unpredictable these days.
Finally met my buddy, Ariff yesterday night for dinner and coffee. His treat of coz since I was utterly broke. And I finally got my souvenirs from him! He actually got me an FC Barcelona Lion mascot thingy!!! That's an inside joke since he referred to me as Madagascar Lion when I had my blonde brown highlights.Pfft. But geez, I can't believe he actually got me that mascot! And he got me the perfume that is not available in Singapore in Barcelona! Whoopee. I am so darn ecstatic about it that's one of the reason I couldn't wait to get them from him.
After seeing his holiday pix in Barcelona & Madrid in Spain and Marrakech,Morroco. I so can't wait to go holiday. All the amazing fashionistas on the Spanish streets were wearing what we here see in magazines. Gosh. How I wish I live there. And of coz since I was his info counter recommending him places to go and Jan was the sales period in Europe so of coz he went crazy shopping. I AM SO JEALOUS.
I still can't believe we're still the same as when we 1st know each other via IRC like back in 2001. It's so amazing, we will talk non-stop whenever we meet that the night is never enough. Despite the sore throat, I had a real good time. Oh but I am still darn jealous he is going to Bangkok again soon and prolly South Africa for the World Cup next year. The privilege of free tix.
To Yuyu babe, we'd iron out my Melbourne trip details next week. I am still considering if I should tag along to Bali with the colleagues...though Bali is not at the top of my list, but an all girls' trip sound fun. And Sherry suggested Egypt trip too since her bf used to study there and know the place well...gosh, can I just go travelling all year and not work? Or maybe I'm just working to fund holidays but at least it's making motivating me to go to work everyday.
I had such a wonderful time this week celebrating both the boy and mum's birthdays!! Putting aside the point that I am so broke and yet pay is in 2 weeks time! And thank god the dad's birthday present has already been bought.
Anyway, I went bowling with the boy on his birthday (which I totally suck but ok I'd just play the bimbo and let him have his fun) by lunch at Sakae Sushi ( a 1st time for him! i had fun making him my guinea pig) and then 2hours of pool ( I haven't played pool in yonks!). And am glad he is thrilled with his birthday present. And so is my mum with hers and the dinner. Sigh, it just makes me feel good to see my loved ones happy.
Talking about my loved ones, I absolutely love the stuff the bestie got me...laaalaaa...can't wait to wear that classic cardi with a black shift dress i just got (i'm just going to snip off this huge ribbon on one of the shoulder ala Sarah Jessica Parker - to me it just gets in the way) from Dorothy Perkins. And I've already worn one of the 2 pairs of earrings on the boy's birthday.And of coz the lace tights! And to Yuyu babe, glad you love the blings and the fingerless gloves I sent ya. I can't wait to see you rock them! =)
Gosh, the last 3 days had been the longest after the 4 day Chinese New Year weekend.
Friday night (23rd jan) - went out for Karaoke with the colleagues all the way till night time. That was total fun, we had a theme of black and white ala The Coven of Cullens (supposedly). Pix on facebook as usual. That was total fun belting out my fav jiwang rock songs since it's been ages.
Saturday - went to J's wedding, congrats to J & Roman on their wedding and hope they have a great honeymoon in Turkey and I like the purple decor. And Hani, you were late, as usual! heh.
Sunday - watched Bride Wars. So totally made me miss my bestie, Yuyu babe. The movie made me teared up in the end.
Monday - was supposed to go to Sentosa with Has and Sherry but due to the PH we didn't really expect there to be so many people going there to, all the ways to go to Sentosa were jammed up. So we opted for Botanic Gardens instead and Sherry had her day as our photographer with her SLR cam, love the pix she took!
Yesterday, watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Though Kate Beckinsale isn't in it since it's supposed to be prequel and all, I thought it was pretty good compared to the other 2 Underworld instalments. I prefer the old feud and all the gore and bloody fighting and all.But that's just me. Let's hope there would be a prequel for Twilight coz I'd really love it if they do a movie on the Cullens and how they came about.
