The weekend, in a blog.

Sidenote: Crap. Gave myself a shock when I started iTunes; simply because the volume was turned on too high and I'm using earbuds. (Don't want to go waking my hubby up)

The weekend is over. It's off to work in about 5 hours time for those of you who work. How time flies. Feels like I just got back to shah alam (which was friday). Oh well. Hmm.. I'm hungry. I didn't have any dinner today. No, I'm not a diet. I could never stay on one, and probably never will. The reason I didn't have dinner was because I couldn't decide what I wanted. Had a rather heavy lunch and was periodically eating throughout the day, thus a spoilt appetite by dinner time. Will elaborate further later. Was at the newly opened Starbucks in Shah Alam Mall by 9 p.m. (Yay!!! Starbucks nearby. I am Soooooooooooo HAPPY!!!) I had my peppermint mocha frappuccino. That explains why I'm still awake at 1:35 in the morning. The good people at Starbucks forgot my whipped cream + peppermint topping tho. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my drink (other than the 'flat' cover) but couldn't quite put my finger on it. I finally figured it out when I saw my husband's tazo chai frappuccino. Was too lazy to go ask for it. I forgive them. Cause they're so so so polite. :) So anyway, I was in Starbucks till 10 p.m. and the mall had closed by then. Still didn't know what to eat, so went home not eating. It didn't take more than 10 minutes to reach home. Did I tell you how happy I am that Starbucks is now in shah alam??? *GRIN* ::Think cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland::

My weekend was rather eventless. Other than the birthday party we had today that is. I spent my Saturday at home playing games on the gamecube, gameboy and computer. The only time I went out was to the Perodua showroom, or rather, show-lot (it's setup in the parking lot in front of Giant) to look at the kancil. You see, my husband will be getting one. I basically do not like the design of the latest kancil. It's kinda, odd. I love the design for the kancil before it, (which I own) but not this one. This one is just weird. But, it's the best car when you factor in practicality and expenses. We'll be getting a grey colored one. It's the best color. It's also the latest color. So, it's all good. After settling the car issue, went to Giant to buy some necessities. Got myself some food from Mc. D too. The prosperity burger. Payback!! Why? I'll explain.

On friday afternoon, I was scheduled to board the bus to KL at 2 p.m. I left the house at 1:30 p.m. with an empty stomach, thinking I'd get food from the Mc. Donalds at the larkin bus station. Upon arriving at larkin, I went straight to Mc. D to get myself a prosperity burger set and a cute little lamb. After getting my food, I proceeded to board the bus. As I was crossing the street, I noticed the bus driver pointing and waving his finger at me while talking. I didn't know what was going on, but I assumed it was because it was close to departure time and he was maybe saying, this girl must be the last passenger or something like that. When I reached the door of the bus, the driver said, "Haa.. ni apa ni?? Awak cuba baca pintu bas tu". Damn was he rude. I realized what was going on even before I read the sign on the door. The idiot wasn't going to let me bring my food up. Shit! I looked at the door, and true enough, that's what the sign said. My sis, who was with me said, "can't you just bring the food along, and have it when the bus stops in Ayer Hitam?" I declined. if there's one thing I hate, it's confrontation. Especially with strangers. I feel embarrassed. My face would feel flushed. I'm not a doormat, I just hate unnecessary confrontations. So, I told my sis to bring the food back and eat it herself. How I hated the stupid idiotic good for nothing driver. I just boarded the bus and went straight to my seat. As a result, I didn't get my burger. He could've phrased it much better than that. But he chose that way instead. What's wrong with saying it nicely? How the hell was I suppose to know that he didn't allow passengers to bring food on the bus? It's not like it's a written rule and is enforced on all busses. Idiot. Did I tell you I hate public transport?? Idiots.

Today, we had a belated birthday party for Ainin. We couldn't have it earlier because we were either busy, away, or too sick to do it. So we had it today. She didn't complain, therefore it doesn't really matter la. I woke up at 10:30 a.m. sleepy as hell, because I slept at 3 a.m. the previous day. I took my shower and went downstairs after playing some Mario Tennis. Busied myself and went back upstairs to play some more game. The first guests came at 1:30 p.m. Served the food. More people came. Served more food. More people came, but I didn't go out after that. I didn't know any of them after all. All the people I knew were in the kitchen. So, why bother going out at all? Heh.. I changed out of my homewear into something more presentable (a baju kurung) brushed my hair and went downstairs for lunch. After having lunch, I became the designated photographer for the cake cuttings and what nots. I'll post the photos when I get the chance. Of course, no photos of me. You can apply the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" theory here. People left by 5 p.m. Leaving us to clean up the aftermath. Cleanup's a bitch. I dried the plates while munching on whatever that was on the table, which included popiah and fried corn thingies. I also had some rojak, sparkling grape juice, sunquick and cranberry juice. Har har.. I'm such a pig. I didn't have any cake though. ;)

After the party, traded my pretty clothes for more comfortable ones. Watched a star trek movie on astro, (gasp!! Me, star trek. Shock!!) he he. Was pretty good, have to admit. heh. After the movie, went upstairs, watched some silly cartoon and decided to go out for drinks after a little while. I showered cause I was feeling so uncomfortable and went out after that. Got back at about 10, watched a movie featuring Angelina Jolie with a bad hair color till about 12 and finally tired to bed. But I couldn't fall asleep. Because of my drink. Gee, my entry has made a full circle. It started off with the drink and now I'm back to talking about my drink. Cool. I think?

I'll be starting school again. I'm anxious. Feels like I'm back in primary school all over again. ha ha. Weird but true. For those of you who don't know much about me, here's a brief explanation. Before my one semester break, I was doing my degree in UNITAR. I took a break after my wedding, just because. I have no explanation. hehe.. oh wait, I do! It's because I didn't want to pay my fees. Too lazy to do so. So, I took a break from studies. Brain needed rest after all. Now, it's back to school. It's for the best really. Finish up my studies quickest possible. Get it over and done with. erghh.. :s Oh well. Can't just leave it hanging halfway. Finish this up and move on the greater things. Haha. Funny.

Classes are suppose to start for my this Tuesday. But It's highly unlikely I'll be attending the first class. My uni's timing isn't something to be proud of. They're always behind schedule and there's always a glitch to rectify. Silly. Why can't they just adopt other unis' system? It's tried, it's tested, it's sureproof. Oh well. Guess it's all part of wanting to be different. Heh. I regret enrolling into the uni. But then again, it's all predestined. Who know what good came out of it? I'm sure there is plenty. Wouldn't have met the friends I have if I didn't. Yeah..

I am itching to go shopping. :p Which is bad. Haha. I really want to get this blouse from Giordano before the sales end though. It's normal price is RM89 and Giordano is having a storewide sale of 30% which I really really hope it isn't over yet. *prays hard* "hey kim, is the sale in Giordano still on?" I need a wardrobe update anyway. I've been wearing Tees all my life, and I think I need different clothes. Tees just don't cut it anymore. Maybe during lazy weekends but not all the time, like last time. We'll see. Classes are starting soon too, and I don't have that many clothes to last me throughout the semester. Oy. It's tough being a girl.

Oh! I bid for the first time on Thursday. I won't say what I bid for though. I was the only one to bid for that item though. So obviously, I got it. It's already been sent out to me. I'm sure it'll arrive any day now. It's sent to my house in JB though. So I won't be seeing it till I go back to JB, which is during Raya Haji. I can wait.

I left my camera in JB. Crap. I'm so forgetful. Think I need to start eating gingko biloba pills. Does it really work? Has anyone tried it before? Do tell. I took some photos last weekend and wanted to post it. Guess that'll have to wait. Now I have new photos to post from yesterday. ;) So many photos, so little effort. I'm a lazy ass procrastinator. I really should do something about it.

Maybe tomorrow.
