bad day

yes...i appoint Daniel Powter's Bad Day as the official theme song of my beautiful saturday.

hmm...excuse my lame beginning.

it started off with me waking at bearing the thought of getting a new hair cut. I was talking to my brother about it online, and he was pretty enthusiastic about it too. And i, with my mission to discover new things every time, went on a search for a new salon i have not treid before. I started off with SS19, since i saw a few the last time. But the moment i went into SS19, i was stuck amongst the Lick Hung parents. Parking was impossible to find, so i struggled a good 15 minutes to come out of SS19.

Headed to SS14's Cut & Blow. No cue, ample parking. Then i suddenly thought, have i got sufficient cash? Pulled out my wallet and took a peek. 6 bucks and 32 cents. Great. Asked if they accepted credit card, and the lady said "yes yes!" nodding her head furiously.

"Rebonding? Colouring?"
"No...wash and cut only"
"oh...credit card for RM80 and above only. sorry."
"Oh...but i've got no cash. so how?"
"You wanna buy our shampoo?? Only RM52"
"erm...it's ok. Thanks anyway" *immediately walks out*

Looked at watch. 12. 15 pm. Can i make it? I went anyway, figuring i was already out and the petrol used must come to some use. Drove to SS15, Subang Square. Found a parking in front of Herbs n Food. Spotted a pretty cool salon called Bird.

"credit card accepted?"
"accepppppptttttt!"
"ok cool. Wash and cut only"
"ok..." *holds open door for me*

all went well till it was done. i now have VeeJay Denise's hair style. It's weird. It suits her. Not me. I look like i've got a helmet on my head. Gosh!!! Asked the guy if it was had to maintain, since i don't really know how to blow straight my own hair. Pushes a pink bottle into my palm. I refused. He pushed on. I agreed.

wash + cut = RM35
pink bottle of haiur solution= RM68

Ahhhh!! more than RM100 spent in just 20 minutes. damn. Looked at watch. 1.10 pm. Cool. I could still make it in time for work. Drove out of Subang Square and i was faced with a massive traffic jam in all directions! Eveywhere was stuck. I started to panic.

Got home at 1.55 pm. Gobbled down lunch. Left. Reached work finally at 2.45. Work starts at 2. It's ok. No one noticed.

Heaps and heaps of shoes, harnesses, belay sets all waiting to be checked in and out. My god! It's like non-stop! BWC and Taster sessions do not go well together! Finally had my break at 7.30 pm. Had to be back before 8. Ate a fish burger at A&W. Not bad. Went to Rest*relax to try on some dresses. Went back up.

In the lift, i rummaged my bag for mny handphone and i couldnt find it!! I panicked even more. No time to go back and search. Felt distracted all through the rest of work. To add to the pain, the number of gears did not tally with the number this morning. Stressed like hell. Everyone was leaving. I didnt even have the chance to take pictures!

After work felt really tired and hot. Took a bath, forgetting to remove my feather earrings. Got them all drenched and out of shape. Dropped my clothes on the floor, got them all wet. Frustrated, i stomped out of Camp 5. Back tracked to all the places i went to in search of my handphone. To no avail.

Went back to car hoping it was there. Nope. Worried and feeling a bit insecure without communication, i drove pretty fast back home. Almost knocked a motorcyclist who appeared out of no where!

Reached home. Ran up to room. Guess what i saw lying nicely on my dresser? My handphone.

went out for supper. bit my lower lip. Bled pretty bad. Gosh!

Tomorrow's my last day of work. *sighs*

S'kali

Alritey readers! There's a new movie in our local scene coming soon. It's said to be released in Malaysian cinemas in August. It's a full feature-length movie that's 90 minutes long. What's cool about this is that my friend's boyfriend is the Writer and Director of this movie!

I'm guessing it'll be good...so if i could so kindly ask for you bloggers to post this up on your blog as well? Support the local film industry!!! =)

For more information, you could check out Skali's blog.

p/s: should you happen to read this, Arivind (or Yuh Huey) , I just wanna say a big congrats! Can't wait!

new skin

i changed this coz i tried to go back to an old post, and i couldnt. with all the many layers of my precious skin,it has become very hardto go through the archives.

so...voila. :)

weight loss

i've been receiving comments saying that i've gone down a lot. And that's usually music to a girl's ears. But when they ask "why? been training very hard?" i cant hide my face any deeper. It's good to be losing weight, but not so good when it's for all the wrong reasons. I have not been training very hard. And that's the cold hard truth.

I guess the reason why i'm going down is because of work. My daily diet would be 5 meals a day. Since work started it has been restricted to 3. Which was insanely torturing when i first started coz my stomach would growl like mad. I eat a lot. Believe me. My friends can vouch for me.

Anyway...with all the guilt gnawing at my conscience, and the intense pressure to meet people's expectations, and the ever wanting to return to former glory....i have started training. Hard. Like every single day. With Daddy dearest.

It's a good thing he's not working anymore. He's all mine!! =) yes...i was, and still is, a Daddy's girl.

Anyway, KLIM target : under 2 hours 17 minutes for 21km.

Emo-self-pitying-discontented-with-my-life post alert!

GaHhhh!!!

he tugs at my heart strings, i'm telling you! his smile, his voice, his cologne, his mannerisms...seriously. it's like i need this big bright neon light to shine above him with the words TAKEN in bold letters to tell me not to crush on him further. *figuratively bangs head on wall*

my mum has recently raised the bars on how revealing my clothes can be. We got into this debate coz i wore a tube out, and just just now, a spag top out. She has never been so particular before! I thought i had a cool mum! Then, when i tried to argue, saying that Lyn dresses like that too. we both bought tubes from Urban & Co together! Her reply almost made me stomp in rage!

"For shirlyn it's different, she has a boyfriend to be next to her, you don't"

News flash: I do not need a guy by my side to ensure my safety! Not having a boyfriend should not restrict what i choose to wear. It's just downright insane if it should.

I don't have a boyfriend and i'm not exactly psyched about it. But i live with it...

And just now she went all "just don't want you to be conned by people. sometimes friends arent what they seem!" She still thinks i would be naive enough to follow some unknown friends out. Her upbringing has taught me well not to. In fact i'm on the edge of paranoia when it comes to befriending certain people.

I really hate to be angry with my mum, but sometimes i just wish i was out living on my own, where i can make my own decisions in life, without having to worry whether or not my mum would think it's ok. I'm approaching 20 for God's sake! I canmake my own decisions in life and take personal responsibility!
