Broken

This week has been a little more productive :)

Manage to get my packing done today, though I have to get Dad to fetch a few things later.
And I did watch two good movies, though I am absolutely slow.

Sweeney Todd : The Demon Barber of Fleat Street

I guess the setting is creepy. They made London so desserted and so black. *shudders.
But I do love the musical parts, despite it being repetitive. Tim Burton has done it again , one of my favourite movies now, after Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice & Corpse Bride.
Though, the way Sweeny Todd murdered his clients were simply gruesome gosh.
And I have to give up pies, for now. Phobia. ;)

The Good Sheperd.

The whole plot confuses me in the beginning . One with Yale , the Skull & Bones Society, the CIA and so many others Edward Wilson is incorporated with. But he does marry the beautiful Angelina Jolie, and like any other CIA bound movie, there will be drama.

But at the end, I finally understood (after browing through Wikipedia too ;) )Its mostly based on truth and loyalty. How would you choose, and who would you choose to trust.And also loads of spying.The setting was pretty cool, its flashbacks and all with the war going on. And EW glasses makes him inquisitive.

Thumbs up to both movies! :)

I'm currently interested to watch this new J-horror : The Slit Mouthed Woman.
The poster in the newspapers look eerie, it might be a good one.

Anyone up for it? :)

Lilian came over two days ago for a lil girltalk.
We had so much to share, gosh, it was crazy, wasn't it? :)

And I told her of my little "scare" which honestly got me thinking over the past few days and how obsessive I have become. This is not good. And how I actually despised people for getting themselves & their body into trouble when I was actually on the verge of it.

I'm trying to get my mindset back on though the back of my mind is telling me just for a while more. Haha, you might not understand.

Lil would probably kill me if I said, maybe for another two weeks or so? ;)

I shall get a move to my teevee. I'll blog about my trip when I get back! Till then, hugs & smooches! I'll miss all of you :)

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

muchlove*.

No Air

After today, there's no more stupid LAN tests to sit for anymore. TEEEHEEE.. :D Goody.

Was abit emotional while driving back from college. Blasting the radio all. Must be that time of the month dropping by to visit.

Was smsing for abit with sabby. And she suddenly asked me did i check the links properly. And i told her, yea, i checked.

Well, when i got home, and i did, and guess wat i saw which gave me a shock of my life?

Lisha and Jayden's blog.

Okay, i know it's no biggie. But i really didn't know jayden was back in sydney and i thought he was still in canada speaking canadian or something. To be honest, i had no clue. That's why i got shocked.

And at that moment, i realised how much i missed cynthea's stories all. And how sab, cynthea, jayden and i use to crap around online.

**

Bah bah.. accounts test tomorrow. :( i hate tests. better head off.

Where are you, dearie??..

PS. i'm looking forward to our lil appointment, girly. :) can't wait can't wait.

For Once in My Life

Woosh, just got back from the Gardens.

And no, Mum didn't allow me to drive :(
Which in the end, she regretted since it was just a straight road.

:( :( :(

Oh wells.

We went there at about 4, since my sister couldn't wake up despite walking into the room six times just to do so. Lazypig ;)
We headed out to Isetan since Mum wanted to use my Isetan voucher. I didn't find anything that suited me, so she decided to be a happy mother instead by using the voucher herself :)

Sis & I went galavanting around the Fragrance section.
And after a gazillion years, Versace had a bigger bottle of Baby Pink Jeans. I could have bought it but Mum already used the voucher and the smell was abit off. But the new fragrance is really good :) As well as Anna Sui's.

We proceeded to Robinsons for more choices of bags & shoes. Everything was on sale but nothing nice in fact. Cheh & I saw this gorgeous bag by LULU but the insides were white and it'll be a pain if it got stained.

Went back to Midvalley, only to face a humungous crowd and after 20 minutes we headed back to the Gardens. Had dinner at Flying Chillis, a Thai restaurant. Food was superb indeed :) so much better than Good Evening Bangkok. Mum wanted to treat us, so it was between Sushi Zanmai or this.

Tom Yam soup was really spicy & the prawns were huge, biggen than the size of Tiger Prawns.
Beef Green Curry was absolutely delicious as well as the soft shell crab. It was worth the bill this time.

After dinner, we went hunting for flipflops for Cheh since she needed one to Cherating. Got a good one at Reef's, while I got a bag from Animal on sale. :) Happyhappyjoyjoy , college bag is found!

Got some cakes and gelato from the famous Gelattisimo. I reccomend the Hazelnut & Blood Orange. Mmhmm, the taste is still lingering in my mouth.

I hate this feeling now, cause I'm feeling super fat :( :( :(

Diets once again this week, at least before Saigon.

Indeed a very enjoyable outing, as always with Mum+Sis.

Shall get back to my magazine time + Hot lemon water treat.

Lovee, Sabrina!

Down with Love

Ahh, I deleted the previous post cause it was tad meaningless.


I do that alot ;)





Gobbled my lunch - nasi lemak which I've been straying awayy for the past month just so that I don't eat rice. But Mum said she couldn't stand the aroma and impulsively bought it. Haa, no more eating for now.





After a week's staying home, I'm finally going out :D
I am such a sad girl.


Ironically, when I have three months of absolute freedom, I'm mostly at home. While my sister has classes, she GOES out every other day. Sadly, I have not passed the parent supervision test, so the car is not mine yet.



:(



So far, I've been on my housing project & searching for dessert recipes online.
And editting pictures.
Hee, I'm starting to love Photobucket, it became a hobby.



And yes, the new header :)


I'm having a fetish for the whole rhyming thing.



Guitar Strings & the Little Things, Freedom Spells & Seashells, Purple Roses & A hundred Doses.



It doesn't make sense but ,oh well, who cares? :)





Currently waiting for Mum to get back from the Thai Embassy since she's hiring Thai staff for her office. Mum-daughters bonding time at The Gardens later :)
And I get to drive.Tee-hee.



Alroighty. Will update soon.
Lil's internet is down for the moment, she's working on it for now.



Gotta wake the sister up now.

There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight

muchlove*

ps: this aint such a meaningful post either?
hee.

Delicate

An overdued post.
It will be boring with words.


So far, I've been doing pretty good.
A heartful thanks for your concerns, you know who you are :)
Fyi, my brother is coping well in Langkawi, courtesy of daily calls from my mum checking on him. He has flown to Alor Setar and his next destination on air is Penang.


I've seen all the lil videos and no joke, I cry at every single one of 'em. I did find some photos of him during my brother's birthday/farewell things.



RVNs, if you want them, let me know, kay? :)

Thursday.


A brief reunion of the 13 (Lil couldn't make it on forgiving circumstances ;) ) at Murni's.


Ohmygod, I've been dying to see these people for AGES. And of course my garlic cheese naan is no excuse. We caught up on a lot of things, sharing insanely lame jokes. When we decided to leave, we had nowhere else to go and ended up bumming in Wei Kit's house for Bluff sessions.


Four cars altogether :)




Friday,


Didn't want to stay home. Chiaw Yee picked me up for lunch at Nando's. Being us in DJ, we decided to hitch her ride all the way to OU instead of Atria. Ethan & Weng Hoe joined us too.


We regretted it the end because the chicken was dry and not as tasty plus the service was extremely bad.




Calling three waiters just to get us the bill?




Stayed back with Dinesh,Kalkena & Adeline for their lil shopping spree. I decided to hold back my wallet since I'm saving up for the Vietnam trip. I was thinking of buying Body Shop's shower gel fot indulgence purposes but the prices has raked up so I decided not to. Dad picked me up and we went home.


Saturday,

My very first taste of driving. To school for MAC, which bored the hell outta me and thank God I was the first few to go up . Right after coming down from stage, I went straight home with permission. Haha, poor Yong Meng couldn't sneak out with his "bluff" method.

"Nono teacher. See, my parents are waiting over there already (points at my parents)"
"Nolah. Don't look like you also. I know they are Sabrina's parents"
...

"Ahh, okaylah teacher let me go toilet first."

I wonder if he DID get out in the end.

Mum & I rushed over to uncle's place in Shah Alam. She had some voice recording to do for her office and needed my Grandpa's & Cousin's help. I took a spin around the neighbourhood with the cousin checking out the houses and a lil chitchat. HEE.

Bummed around the house and I drove home, unsteadily.

Came home to get Dad and drove again to Giant's Hypermarket in KJ for grocery shopping.
When I drove home, they blocked off the roads, causing me to squeeze in very narrow roads. God bless the good Samaritan for letting me pass through slowly and giving me directions from his car window.

I was TIRED. From having to work with my brain since both of my parents were speaking at the same time, but not the same lines. I can't drive on the road but I can drive myself up the wall.
Today.

Just got back from OU after church this morning. Once again, I took the wheel :) Still with two voices. Haha, but not too bad , at least I could park. I had to face two cars honking after me . I'm sorry but I'm a bad driver so live to that, impatient Ford Ranger.

ChiawYee's X-trail certainly beats yours. anytime.

*

I'm in need for a Flea Market therapy + Starbucks!

When oh when, Lillyyyyy? :D

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

muchlove*.

So Close

I'm still coping with it.

I teared alone yesterday , thinking and praying for strength & faith for everyone.
The tune to Jon Mclaughlin was getting into me, obviously bucketting the tears that were flowing, blurring my vision of the evening sun shining dimly out my window.

I have no idea how my brother is doing. I think he still needs time to absorb reality, which is why we (family) find it best to leave him alone for awhile to let him recuperate. He does need a whole lot of support , since he's alone in LGK. His despair is hitting me alot.

But to say my novenas in my heart and to believe that he is in our good Lord's arms,
I know I'll be okay somehow.

After 6 excruciating hours, flattening my bum on the chair, waiting for the numbers 1-8-5 to be called, sitting next to a supersilent examiner who didn't seem to care on the road, watching all the lil Kancils rolling back from the slope, people hitting the poles by accident when they're reversing,watching a guy literally hitting his steering wheel because he too hit the pole while doing his 3-point turn,

listening to this loud boisterous girl commenting on students taking the slope test thinking she's so great on how to aim at the yellow line when she already failed her road test because she slipped right in before a bus and having the examiner tell her she drives too dangerously ( in her face cause she has to come back next week) and when I say she's loud, she's really loud till I can hear her from the car when I was doing my slope test and I did hear her say "Oh, she just went a lil to front but still I think she pass lah right?",

I'm finally a legal menace on the road.

:)

muchlove.*

Angel

We've never spoken much.

It was more of I-see-Richard's sis-so-say-hi,

or I-see-Kor's-friend-so-smile.

I would never forget the times you'd come over

and watch movies with Kor.

And the fact that you were among the people

who escorted him home

when he rammed Cheh's car to the wall.

You've certainly fought the battle.

You are in the best of hands now.

God has made plans for you

to watch over your friends and family.

May you be blessed wherever you are, Andrew.

God bless you.

you're in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort there.

my deepest condolences to his family & friends.

Brother dearest,

be strong.

love.

.

Keep Me Close

click.

I've seen my brother's eyes.
And it pierced.

Please pray.

Dearest Korkor,

You're going back today. You've nutted me out more than ever the past month and I'm sorry I can't send you to the airport like I always do because of my stupid 3-hour driving lessons. I know its been hard for you these past few days. I rarely see you, all for the greatest responsibility you've carried as such a wonderful friend.


I promise I'll be good and pray for Andrew for you. I'm sure he's doing better, isn't he?

Be strong ,Korkor. Everything will turn out, don't worry.
I've never seen you like this before.

I know you're gonna hate me for this, but I don't care.
Love you & miss you!

xoxo*

All We Are

Lilian, where are you? (:

Its gonna be an unfulfilling week once again. Not just the daily driving lessons since my exam is on Monday, but the insane boredom is killing me. Thank God my bestiebestie gets off college for two weeks of vacation. (:

Just like old times!

but also,

notforgetting.

beaddiebead.

and my other two dears! :) missingyouloads!

and

my favourite people, where art thou? :)

Last Sunday.

Church in the morning before springing over to the hospital to visit Korkor's friend, Andrew. It was not visiting hours yet, so we went home. The whole family went to Concorde Hotel,KL for Hi-Tea before dear brother goes back on Friday. Though he's been back for two months, its so fast for me since I wasn't around the first month since he came back. He's been nuttier & a lil crazier than before, and a sudden poser too. (Pictures will upload soon)

We settled in for The Melting Pot cafe . Not a widespread of food, but all delicious indeed.
Desserts were mouth-watering, I totally deleted the sign of low-calories to pure luxury of food. Lunch was worth it, and with a special rate since Mum knew the F&B manager. We were all laughing & making silly remarks as usual. We hardly have time to go out together cause of the busy schedules. Well, except for me.

We dropped Sis*Bro home and went to the hospital. The whole bunch of them were there.
The incident made a huge impact on everyone, its hard to be in that situation. Well, he's definitely in our prayers.

Driving is stressful. :(
And I need a coffee +retail therapy badly after the exam.

muchlove.*
