Endless Ranting

A couple of nights ago, while engrossed with The Apprentice, I heard this loud bang coming from outside my house. Immediately I knew that there was an accident. Sure enough, when I looked outside, someone driving a Waja had crashed into my brother's parked car. He had the audacity to drive off but thankfully, he was 'drunk' and stupid enough to head back home. It's a dead end if you follow the road leading to the back of my house so I quickly ran off in that direction. That accident pretty much woke him up because when I found the car, the driver was nowhere to be seen and I had no idea which house was his. To summarize, it was a long night which involved the police, the neighbourhood patrol watch and a couple of stray dogs.

In the morning, I went back with the intention of leaving a note but thank God, the moron's mother was just about to take their car to the workshop so I quickly notified her of what her son did the night before. After getting confirmation from him, an IMU student, no less, she said she'll pay for the repairs.

We did give him the benefit of the doubt thinking that he would at least ring our doorbell in the morning to apologize and offer to pay for the damages but no, he nicely went off to classes without a care in the world. We even took off the bumper and left it leaning on our gate so he'd know the car belonged to us when he passed by but the jerk left his mother with the mess he created. Nice going, you jerk. At least his mother was sincere enough to keep on apologizing the whole journey to the workshop.




Poor baby's getting some TLC now

I have a pretty close relationship with my extended family and it's nice to be able to have varying outlets to vent my frustration or sometimes share some good news. But with this comes some unwanted attention.

News of my recent break-up spread, thanks to my mum and a few weeks ago, I received a call from Ying's mother asking me whether I was still single and when I was going to the US. Apparently, she wants to 'intro' me to her business partner's son, who's based in San Francisco. I politely declined because I sure did not want to meet people this way. Then she had to add that it was merely to make new friends. Right. Anyway, she passed his e-mail address to me demanding that I e-mail him because he's a good guy. And being such a great cousin, my darling Ying gave away my e-mail add for her to pass on to her business partner.

I hoped that I could avoid getting involved but a few days ago, I received an e-mail from the SF guy. He might have been forced to by his dad, who knows but I'm still contemplating e-mailing him. Politeness tells me to send off a reply and keep it as platonic as possible but on the other hand, if I don't reply, then nothing can possibly happen. Maybe that's the best option.

I hate being put into these kinds of situation. Sure, I never had the best relationships but I'm definitely not seeking to be set up by anyone, what more my aunt. And I'm definitely not looking to get into anything right now. Be it friendship or whatever, I'm capable of handling my own personal matters.

Although some people had to work the next day and most of them had to endure a 5-day work week, they came and partied hard indeed. And despite having the flu, I drank anyway. Here are some pics from my birthday celebration at Poppy.

my saviors..thank you both so so much for taking care of me!!

It was a night filled with so many embarassing moments yet having these people around made everything so much better.

It's especially cold tonight. The rain fell heavily about 2 something as we were getting our asses trashed by Vel at the game of UNO. It was still drizzling as I took Hermes out for him to do his business after being cooped up in the house for so long. I waited and waited somemore but still he did nothing except sniff at the potted plants so my mind started wandering. The weather was akin to the Spring weather in LA and I thought about the times I would sneak out of the house to smoke.

How fast time seems to be passing by. The month of October is about to end and before we know it, it'll be Christmas then soon after, we'll be ushering in 2006. I wish I could just close my eyes till then but too bad, life doesn't work that way.

Thank you all for the wishes, greetings and pressies. Had a fantastic night thanks to those who made it. Certain parts of last night is still a little foggy right now but I'm sure you guys will remind me of it. Anyway, just wanted to apologise yet again for my behavior but it was really the alcohol playing its part. Heheh. So to Sharon, Adeline, Velene, Victor, Marcus, Mel, Boon, Gwen, Adam, Serina, Sophia, Chris, Keith, Wen, Istvan, and last but not least, Esmond, thank you for making my day. You guys are the best.

If shopping and clothes isn’t your thing, you can skip this post.

Ever stumbled upon a boutique so unobtrusive that the mere mention of the name would receive raised eyebrows? And that I did last Friday while I was supposed to do my weekly grocery shopping. Upon entering this whimsical little boutique, I was taken aback by the many eye-catching clothes hanging on the racks. Flirty little dresses, sweet bohemian tops, pretty dainty earrings, garlands after garlands of pearls, and the quintessential LBDs called out to me as I surveyed round the shop. I had a gala time trying on top after top and a few dresses but after realizing it’d cost me an arm and a leg just to purchase something that was not on sale, I had to quickly leave the shop or I’d risk getting disowned by my dad for overspending on his card. But I couldn’t resist purchasing one tiny little top so that’s my indulgence for this month.

Khai is located on the 1st floor of Bangsar Village, if any of you is interested.

Feeling really anti-social nowadays. Been cooped up at home doing absolutely nothing so a few days ago, I decided I needed to get out. Drove around for awhile and guess where I ended up. The playground at Jln Bangkung. It was one of those rare days where the weather was behaving itself so I took that as a good sign. I'm not usually the type who'd venture into anything by myself but I needed to clear my head. Guess I should have stayed away from the playground.

As I sat on the swings, memories, so many different memories came fleeting through my mind. Of falling down from the bicycle and permanently scarring myself on my right thigh, of weekend visits with my mum and brother and how I'd chase after him as he rode around the ring, of weekly roller-blading sessions with Mel with the supposed intention of exercise but clearly it was to check out the 'hot' guys that were shooting hoops, of the very rare tani sessions where we'd try to hide under the tables whenever a patrol car cruised by, and of that one special moment when I felt as if time stood still.

And after all that, I miss him. Things have changed so much between us yet there's a part of me everyday that wonders, what could have been? I know I should remove the pictures. I really should but I just don't want to. So that's that for now.

Oh by the way, Season 5 of America's Next Top Model is out. :) So many shows to download every week. No complaints there.
