i heart mac.

i am blogging from a mac.

i really hate to say this but everything looks GREAT on a mac. even my blog interface and fonts looks extraordinarily gorgeous.

not a fan of the white keyboard or the mouse though.

/UPDATE/ mac has lost it’s novelty after using it for an hour. oops.

an evening enjoyed

what a good evening!

it has been a while since i managed to stay awake beyond 10 on a weekday evening when i’m at home. thesedays, i just fall asleep anytime, anywhere so it feels really good to spend this evening so  productively.

my evening started with a good conversation with the big bad wolf and i headed home for a simple dinner. haagen daz ice cream was my dessert for the day. between waiting for the dinner to be digested and my evening run, i called the banks to enquire and to request. i surfed and checked the net. i read a book. i changed into my running attire and stretched my muscles. i ran for 20 minutes and strolled for another 15 – all the while listening to “breathe again” by toni braxton.

i got home, stretched again and continued with my book. i showered, soaped, scrubbed, shampooed and conditioned. i drank lots of water, eye masked and face masked myself while finishing the book “disgrace” by j.m. coetzee. it’s a really good book, a compulsive read. i do not know how to articulate the reasons why it’s good so click here to learn more about the book. david lurie reminds me of james because he is so cold and brutally honest.

now i’m wondering should i read “wuthering heights” by emily bronte or “the unlikely disciple” by kevin roose.

where did my rest go to

i am feeling exceptionally tired and dull today.

damn you, sore throat.

damn you, mouth ulcer.

damn you, heavy eyelids.

first hives, now bumps

i can’t wait for the angry red bumps on my skin to go away.

it scares me because it doesn’t look pretty but it doesn’t scare me enough to go see the doctor. haha.

i know it will go away.

just that i don’t know when it will.

good thing it doesn’t itch!

i woke up to this song in my head

I will meet you
In some place
Where the light lends itself
To soft repose
I will let you undress me
But I warn you
I have thorns like any rose

You could hurt me
With your bare hands
You could hurt me
Using the sharp end of what you say
But Im lost to you now
And theres no amount of reason
That could save me

So break me
Take me
Just let me feel your arms again
Break me
Ill let you make me
Just let me feel your love again

Feels like being underwater
Now that Ive let go
And lost control
Water kisses fill my mouth
Water fills my soul

Kiss me once
Well, maybe twice
Oh, it never felt so nice

Just let me feel your love again

break me, jewel.

i am amused because i haven’t heard this song in a while and the mind is apparently craving for it enough to make me sing it out loud.

let’s start from where

cleo magazine did a review of scrapblog.com months ago. it’s an online medium for people to make scrapbook. i keep wanting to try but never got around to doing it.

amanda mentioned it in her blog and i am remined of the fact that i am supposed to explore the site.

i just created an account and i shall use that as a medium to blog about events since june 2009. i have chunks of photos not blogged about and at the rate i am blogging, i can’t even see myself catching up.

i realised i’ve come to depend on my blog for memory refreshing because i honestly can’t remember most of the things i blogged about a year ago. all the efforts i put into catching up with my blogging backlog might be silly to some but i know my forgetful mind will have nothing but gratitude to my 26 year old self in years to come and that’s all that matters.

i am so hungry

all i have been feeling since the last week is hunger.

i am very hungry and i can’t stop eating.

things i ate/drank today:

11am – nasi lemak

1.30pm – flower tea

2.40pm – ginger tea

3pm – roti prata with egg + teh tarik

6.30pm – kangkong, sweet & sour pork, some stir fried venison dish, rice & ice lemon tea

10pm – ice cream + chicken crackers

and i am still hungry!

loner friendly

everytime i am alone or lonely, i head down to romankan yokohama @ basement 2 of takashimaya for a meal.

i went there last saturday.

i didn’t know where to go for lunch so i went there and just enjoyed the peace and quietness while people watching.

i love loner friendly restaurants.

a clear reflection of the mind…

my room looked like this on 31 July.

so i cleaned it up because i needed to empty my mind.

now, on 16 august, my room is back to square one again. i have resorted to working on the floor.

i hope that sort of explains why i’m taking forever to clean my room and kick start the room revamp…

4 in the morning

i could go on blogging but it’s 4 in the morning and i have a thriller movie to catch at 10.30am and a half day shopping trip awaits.

i guess i should sleep.

goodnight!

ps: you can take the girl away from her blog but you can never take the blog away from the girl. glad to know i still have it in me to blog.

where did it go to…

3 august 2009 was unofficially my last day of work because i still had things to finish after 31 july.

my break did not officially start until 3 august 3pm so i have only rested for 4.5 days as of today.

i’m trying to recall how i spent my 4.5 day because i don’t feel rested. haha.

monday evening – met up with a friend in town.

tuesday – cleaned my room and started project farewell (what to do…couldn’t finish in time) in the evening.

wednesday – went for my morning pilates, afternoon massage & facial and continued to explore ideas and work on project farewell.

thursday – worked on project farewell until i had to leave the house in the evening for dinner with friends @ brazil churrascaria.

friday – woke up early to research for trip. brought parents + grandma + 5th uncle out for lunch @ the soup restaurant. went to ikea. came home. went out again to pay bills. met up with james for coffee and chat. came back and continue with trip research. was going to place a booking for our dream resort but ms jenice tan decided to die on me while i am asking her for her ic. i guess she must be tired – it’s 1.40 am afterall and i am still trying to reach her on her cellphone but she is not responding.

i’m tired too and i need to wake up early for pilates class.

i better jam packed everything i need to do next week into the long weekend because my 2 weeks break seemed so horrendously short now!!!!

blog vengence

i feel like blogging with a vengence after my long hiatus but i’ve got no time!!!

i am IT savvy.

i woke up early today to do some research for my tioman trip and realised that the msn on the family’s desktop is not working. i know my sister was complaining about it awhile back…

at 8.15am, i decided i should just fix the msn once and for all. i troubleshooted for a good 30 minutes using the windows help and support guide and yay! msn is working.

hope it continues working.

ah, i love troubleshooting things.
