greetings from malaysia
I've arrived back home sound and safe.
Upon my arrival in the morning, I went to bed and sleep the whole day. This is what happen whenever I catch a midnight flight.
I met Pa at Changi Airport as he's flying out and I was in transit. We had a good chat over brekkie but I just couldn't concentrate. All I was thinking was my comfy princess bed back at home. Hehe.
Anyway, I gotta go now. I'm gonna go catch a movie. King Kong here I come! :-)
*Hugs*

joy on my world
I know it's a little bit late but Merry Christmas, folks!
This couple of days has been a roller-coaster for me. Painful ones.
Friday Night
I had a bad headache. Went to bed at 9pm. Should have been out partying and downing heaps of
Saturday Daytime
Stayed on bed the whole day with Nurofen as my friend. And my soft toys as well. S, on the other hand is out by himself doing last minute shopping. We were supposed to catch King Kong together. But the best is yet to come. I rang up David Jones at 4pm to check out when the store will be opened after Christmas. There will be a huge sale on the 27th which is tomorrow. David Jones and Myer in the city will be opened at 8am!! I know sale started today on the Eastern States (Chickybabe, did you shop a lot on behalf of me?) but at least I don't have to wait till Wednesday.
Saturday Night
Went to work for a couple of hours. Came home and fell asleep almost immediately.
Sunday Daytime
Attended W's niece birthday party. It was boring. I fell asleep on his 3 year old nephew's bed. He too, fell asleep next to me.
Sunday Night
I was invited to dinner at S' uncle place. I've finally met his parents, sister and a few of his close relatives for the first time. It was weird. I don't give a damn to be honest just so because I don't have to please his parents being the son's girlfriend but I felt bad somehow. Of course I was nice to everyone.
Bottom-line, it's hard juggling between two boyfriends despite the fact one is on another continent and doesn't know the existence of the other.
And yes, I did get a Furla as pressie. As well as a pair of earrings and a box of chocolates. S can be such a darling sometimes. I wish everyday is Christmas now. He loves the shirt and belt I got him.
Yay! It's more shopping tomorrow and I'm flying home to see Papa, Mami and my devilish sisters tomorrow midnight.
Happy Holidays people! Have extra Malibu for moi. And of course, shop twice the amount on behalf of me.

today i'm tired of shopping
Really. It's true. I do feel that way.
I've been practically out almost everyday to the shops (where else?). Of course I have more time off work now since Christmas is just around the corner.
But there isn't anything to buy.
I walked into Kookai. I walked out after 5 minutes. Boring skirts going on for $149. I have a few of similar designs, new ones lying in my wardrobe (the material and designs don't really change. It gets boring after a while).
I walked into Witchery. I walked out before I even browse anything. I'm too short to wear anything from Witchery. And they have plain colours. White. Brown. Grey, Pale purple. Pale pink.
Then there is Country Road. Too old for me! But they've got nice menswear and home stuff.
I'm desperately looking for a pair of heels. Preferably black. I couldn't find anything that I like. Those that I've seen are just alright. Why are shoes from Nine West so over-priced? And why are kids clothing so expensive? I love Pumpkin Patch though. They're reasonable.
I love David Jones. I love David Jones and I adore David Jones. Just so because I get to stand there for an hour deciding which OneTeaspoon top to get for sis and ended up getting her a top from Wheels & Dollbaby instead.
I've always prefer Myer over David Jones for some strange reasons but lately, I seem to find that place boring and the clothes don't really appeal to me. I'm intrigued by this brand named Review. I like it but I've never try on any of those clothes. Somehow it just seems so not me.
I don't buy clothes from Target. No matter how cheap they are. They're not exactly cheap by the way. If it's Target United States then it's different because Isaac Mizrahi designs the woman collection the last time I heard. If only they import his stuff. Or copy his stuff. Since it's Target anyway but no, dream on.
I don't even know what to get for S. I've only managed to get him a Morrissey long-sleeve shirt which I fell in love instantly when I walked into the store (damn, why I don't have that mutual feelings with shoes??!?). Anyway, I was thinking of teaming that shirt up with something else just so that it doesn't look like just a shirt as pressie. I fell in love with a Hugo Boss tie but I doubt he will wear it very often. I know my mind works weirdly. I got him perfume and some after-shave kit for his birthday not long ago and I seriously ran out of ideas now. Come to think about it, that Morrissey will do, won't it?
I need to buy a pressie for T, a very close girlfriend of mine. Would anyone kindly give me some ideas?
Does anyone know if those MOR body butters are any good? They smell nice to me for sure! I love the Marshmallow ones.
On an unrelated note, I wanna watch King Kong. I've been waiting since last week but S is too busy to accompany me and I don't wanna watch it without waiting for him. I'm catching the first instalment of The Chronicles Narnia with him this coming Thursday though. I can't wait!

of shopping and boyfriend
Tip number 101 for guys out there:
Never ever buy your girlfriend's pressie in front of her (not literally) and then come up with excuses like:
Useless excuse no. 1
Me: What was that you're holding on your hand? What did you get from David Jones?
Him: Oh... Something for my dad
Me: I thought you got his pressie last week? And I helped you to pick it, remember?
Stupid excuse no. 2
Me: Show it to me, will you?
Him: No, I can't
Me: Why not? It's for me isn't it?
Him: It's not for you
Me: Then there is no problem showing it to me is there?
Him: I stole it from one of the lady in the store and this is not the right place to open it
Me: Then she wouldn't suspected it if I open it right?
Him: (speechless)
Equally idiotic excuse no. 3
Me: Okay, this is not funny. If it's for me, just admit it and I won't touch it or ask about it anymore
Him: For the millionth time, it is NOT for you
Me: THEN SHOW IT TO ME
Him: This person I'm giving to has a phobia of people looking at his present. And he would know if the present has been looked at. I didn't know how he could tell but he just does
Me: (Silently cursing WTF) Yeah right. I know what it is. It's a bag and it's for me. It's a Furla to be precise and if I get that bag for Christmas, you have to give me $200 on top of it because I well damn know I'm right
Him: It's not for you
Me: It's a bag, right?
Him: No it's not!
Me: Whatever
Absolutely rubbish no-more-excuses-yet-in-denial excuse no. 4
Me: Remember, you said it's not a bag earlier so if it turns to be, I'm getting my $200
Him: I didn't say it wasn't a bag. I said it wasn't for you
Me: (smirking over the phone)

woe is me
I can't believe this!
I woke up just in time to place the final bid for one of the bags I've been eyeing on E-bay. I looked at the status and it indicated that there are 4 minutes left before the auction ends.
So I happily key in the amount and waited. It was going at $135 and I'm willing to pay up to $200 for that gorgeous black tote. Out of a sudden, the fucking internet connection dropped. Suffice to say, I didn't win the auction because I didn't get a chance to bid for it thanks to my fucking internet connection. ARGH! Of all time!
And now the internet is working perfectly well. Faster than usual! I can't believe the lucky devil who got away buying that tote for $135. What a bargain. Needless to say, it spoilt my whole morning.
I need to chill. I'm going down to the city to grab some wrapping papers and ribbons to help S wrap pressies.
Chill, chica. Chill. It will be alright. There is always next time.
Chill...
ARGHHH!!!

shopping is a pain, for once
I deserved to be in bed the whole day today because I didn't get a good sleep on Friday night. S stayed over for the first time and I'm just not used to having someone else sleeping next to me. I was down with flu and it was annoying me so I could barely sleep. We had to be up fairly early (read:8am) because he wanted me to go Christmas shopping with him.
It was a nightmare really. Except that this happened on a daytime. Let me re-iterate. Shopping with S is a nightmare. On a few separate occassions in the span of six hours:
Me: Get lipgloss for sis. Lancome juicy tubes are alright I supposed
S: Too expensive. What about a purse?
Me: Wouldn't that be more expensive?
S: You're right. But let's get her a purse
Me: WTF!
At the handbags department.
S: Pick one
I randomly pointed at a DKNY monogram canary color purse.
Me: That looks nice
S: $119. Too expensive
Me: You just bought a $400 PSP for yourself, $119 is nothing right?
S: But this is for my sister. And she hates me. She won't like whatever I buy
Me: You don't want to buy something for the sake of buying it. You would want her to love it and actually use it instead of dumping aside in 'crappy-pressies-I-would-rather-die-than-use-these-section'. If you don't know what to buy, get her a voucher from David Jones perhaps?
S: But I want people to think I'm thoughtful rather than just giving a gift voucher and ask them to get whatever they want
Me: I'd love a gift voucher better than anything pressies that I might not like
S: Okay, I'll buy her those lipgloss
Me: ?!?!!!
At the perfume store picking some pressies for his female cousins. We were staring at some miniatures with cute packagings.
S: Help me pick something for them
Me: How old are they?
S: 16 and 19
Me: Try that Lolita Lempicka, it has cute packaging with purple-ish fake flowers. It smells nice too. I love the packaging, very feminine
S: Okay, get that and 'Sicily' by Dolce and Gabbana
I stared at that boring bottle shape of 'Sicily' and thought, it looks a bit grandma-ish. Nevertheless, I asked the salesgirl to give me a tester. I'm right, it smells really grandma-ish. No offence to people who love D & G perfumes, I'm just never a fan of them. I understand that different people have different taste but seriously, 'Sicily' smells too old for a 19 year old let alone a 16 year old.
Me: Sweetheart, Emily is 16, not 61. Let me pick something else alright
S: How would I know? That 'Sicily' looks nice
Me: You gotta be kidding me. The packaging is conservative and boring. You have such a bad taste, sweetie
At the end, the salesgirl and I picked a lovely light hearted summer perfume, 'D'Ete' by Kenzo gift set for Emily.
It was so exasperating putting up with S that it's not funny. When I stopped to look at my stuff, he was all upset just because I didn't inform him. I'm not a 3 years old girl, I can take care of myself and there is always something called mobile phone that comes in handy if you 'lost' someone in the crowd.
I told him I'm never ever going shopping with him again. He is persuading me to change my mind as his Christmas shopping is not done yet and he promised he'll be good this time. Hah! (We'll see about that but I don't trust him).
*Sigh*

here and back again
It feel as though I've just stopped blogging last week when in fact it's been about 7 weeks! :-D
I'm such a lazy bum. I'm still very much alive and life has been as twisted as ever.
W came back for a 2 week holidays sometime ago. We kissed, we held hands, we teased each other like small kiddos, we're in fact still very much together. But we did not have sex. Just how weird is that I find myself no longer attracted to him the way I used to. Yet, why do I still hold onto this relationship? And how peculiar that deep down inside me, there is a little voice that keeps on reminding me, somehow, I'll ended up marrying this guy. Goodness, NO!
Another thing that I found really disturbing is the fact that both of us are so comfortable and getting used to life without each other for the past 8 months that we have different prorities. He only got me a bouquet of flowers for birthday and I was waiting and waiting...and waiting for my pressie but it never came. Cheap ass bastard. So in return, I got him nothing for his birthday. :-)
I know I'm supposed to be independant now but do bear in mind that I've always been his princess. And I did so much shopping for him whilst he was here. He, on the other hand splurged on himself. Well, it's probably karma for cheating on him. I accepted that.
S has been lovely on the other hand, we've been so much closer compared to before and I'm afraid it's turning into more than sex. It has always been for me since I'm an emotional wreck (sort of) but he seems to be much more attached to me. It's been a good 9 months yet I can't make up my mind. I'm just waiting for someone to find out and tell W that I've been cheating on him. Karma will find its way back to me, mark my words.
Oh, and I've just bid on a tote bag on e-bay and I regretted instantly. I'm praying that someone would outbid me but otherwise, I guess I'll just buy the bag. It isn't that bad. I'll just be $200 poorer (and it's probably a fake too, who knows!). This is probably one of the silliest mistakes I've ever make when it comes to shopping.
I just hope good things will come my way soon. Can't wait for the holidays to begin! I have a very strong feeling that I'll be getting the Ferragamo flats as Christmas pressie. *winks*
