today i'm on salad marathon
*sheepish smile*
I loathe salad for as long as I can remember. That is until I discovered the best salad dressing last week. It is called Cafe 26 Original Salad Dressing. Weird name but it tasted so yummylicious.
I love mangoes a lot too! And I usually have them after I had my salad. Nevertheless, less and less mangoes are on sale right now. It's probably the end of mango season. Was there mango season to begin with I'm not too sure.
My darling baby sis courier-ed over a whole lot of Famous Amos cookies when I told her I missed them. She is such a sweetheart. I think she kind of feel sorry for me that I don't get what I usually get back home. Like my daily dosage of Starbucks' skinny latte.
Face it, people who said Perth is a wonderful place because we don't have giant businesses trying to take over this whole place are obviously, lying. I grow up seeing all this and if a coffee place is good, no one can affect the business. It's very much individual preference and I think that Gloria Jeans coffee sucks. Big time! Cafe Angazi at Curtin Uni has the best cappuccino in town. Dome comes in second (not all Dome outlets though - I ever tasted a very diluted coffee from the same outlet three fucking times). Whatever happened to quality control?
The weather is absolutely beautiful today. Whenever I decided to stay in, the weather is just brilliant. And whenever I have plans to go out, the weather is just plain shittie. Like yesterday for example. I managed to escape into the cinema to avoid the heat and watched V for Vendetta instead. God, Natalie Portman is so annoying. I can't pin-point what exactly it was but like that alien mother Katie Holmes, she's annoying. Her voice, her look, everything.
Yikes!
I keep on remembering this line from Star Wars: Episode 3 whenever I hear her voice, the part where she was sobbing and said "You're breaking my heart, Anakin!" *cries even louder* Please dump her back to Harvard and stop her acting career.
I so wanna watch The Inside Man though. Should be interesting since it was directed by Spike Lee. Speaking of movies, S told me he has won an auction for a movie prop item which costs him US$300 not including the shipping cost. I won't tell you what it was but the bloody item is heavy. I'm glad he's gonna die paying for the shipping cost. Not forgetting the seller only ship via Fed Ex. If I'm not mistaken, Fed Ex is a courier company. *evil laughter*
Have a good weekend people! I'm definitely gonna enjoy myself.

today i'm gabrielle solis
"There are lots of hippies in this place," S said, making a comment whilst we're sitting down having dinner at one of my favourite cafes.
"At least they're not yuppies!" I replied with a dagger look.
"You are a yuppie yourself," he said nonchalantly.
"I'm not," I retorted.
"Yes you are. Mrs Solis is a yuppie. You're like her," he shot back.
I just sat back and kept my mouth shut because if I open my mouth at that point of time, I was gonna start shouting at him.
Perhaps I'm very much like Gabrielle Solis. Well, I love pretty stuff, I dedicated most of my life to shopping and I'd rather not eat than to give up my pair of heels. That, doesn't make me a yuppie does it?
Anyway, S is driving me insane I swear. He is a pain in the ass.
So I agreed to go out for dinner and movie with him on Friday night but little did I know he has decided without consulting me that we're joining H and his friends for movie.
I felt absolutely shittie towards the end of the evening because he was driving around in circle for half an hour looking for parking unsuccessfully, only to missed the first 10 minutes of the movie. For fuck sake, no one would have the faintest idea to watch movie on a Friday night in the city because it's late night shopping. It's full with people!
So when I got all upset, he thought I was being a drama queen and unreasonable because H just buried his best friend the day before, who also happened to be a friend of his back in high school. Don't get me wrong, H is a good friend of mine too and I want to be there for him during this difficult time but at least S should fucking tell me if he decided to change our plan. Just because none of my friend is dead *touch wood* that doesn't make me any less important.
Not to mention he made me paid (for him as well) for the movie I wouldn't watch in the first place. He always have this habit of asking me to pay for dinner when he pays for movie (or vice versa) whenever he asked me out. The point here is, he asked me out. So by right, he should be paying for it. After one fucking year only did I realized this. It was probably because it wasn't a problem back then because I was using dad's money, so I had plenty of it at that time.
When I buy things for him, I didn't ask for money. Neither did he offered to pay for them. The most he did is buying me dinner which probably cost one tenth of what I spent on him.
He doesn't buy things for me as often as I did for him.
It doesn't matter whether I'm a yuppie or not but this guy is definitely not for me.
*sigh*
I miss W. If only God could let me have another boyfriend that is as good as him.

today i feel like punching someone
Every 10 days or so I'll have weird cravings. The other day, I feel like eating chicken kebab. Last week, it was Indonesian cuisine at this particular restaurant that serves yummylicious asam fish and beef rendang. Last night it was McDonald's nuggets and cheeseburger. -.-
I've not been seeing S for a week now. I refused to let him do anything for me anymore. I've told him like a million times that he is simply not spending enough time with me yet he is being so fucking defensive that I find it tiring.
Yes, he's gotta work and study. And he started going on and on about how none of my friends need to work as well as study on the same time, stating that's why we have so much time to kill. He complained how I do not understand it's not easy for him yada yada. It's not our fault we're slightly more privilege having not have to work for money. Damn it. It's not my fault that I do not have to work as hard as he does for money. He doesn't spend on me anyway so I really do not understand what's his problem.
Never mind.
I'm just glad I don't have to put up with that any longer. I feel lonely there's no doubt and adjusting to single life once again can be so-not-me kind of thing but I know I had to get out.
Good thing I get to spend more time with my girls although we've been too lazy to go out. We even missed the David Jones fashion show which we've been attending religiously for the past 2 years!
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that things will get better despite the fact I'll have to brave the shittie weather tomorrow. Bloody 37 degrees!

the red carpet edition
Hurrah! It's the 78th Annual Academy Awards.
I love looking at dresses and chicks and not ogling at cute actors coz it's the only time of the year they're dressed as waiters (I'd say restaurant managers actually) rotating between the boring black Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein and occassionally Paul Smith, Fendi and some boring restaurant manager look alike suits.
I present to you the the incomplete ultimate red carpet photos. Of chicks of course.
Let's bitch.
Was it just me or everyone else agree with me that Michelle Williams IS JUST PLAIN UGLY? Look at the make-up. Ewww... I don't know why but the girls from Dawson's Creek turned out to be ugly 10 years later. I really don't need to mention who the other one is.
The usually cute Keira Knightley looks sleepy. Vera Wang dressed both Keira and Michelle. I don't like their dresses. Not to mention the distasteful Armani dress that Zhang Ziyi wore. If you think any of these are bad, wait till you see Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Helena Bonham-Carter looks like she's just came out from Corpse Bride spotting a Kelly Osbourne hair-do. o.O
Jessica Alba is clad in gorgeous gold Versace gown, Jennifer Garner in glittery Michael Kors and Nicole Kidman in a classic Balenciaga.
I love Reese Witherspoon! Looking stunning in a vintage Christian Dior gown, I'm not surprised she won an Oscar for her performance in Walk the Line. Whee!!
I'm dying to know who designed Karolina Kurkova's dress. That, would be my favourite.

jessica simpson's syndrome
I swear I'll gain 15kg in no time just like Jessica Simpson if I do not stop the way I eat soon. No, I'm not having relationship breakdown or getting a divorce. It's been a weird few days with weird cravings and excessive food binging.
I could only remember I've been eating lots of pastas, Pringles, chocolate and ice-cream. Yesterday morning I started off with mangoes and somehow after that I managed to include Pringles in as well. I actually had Pringles for breakfast!
S brought me out for a nice dinner and I just binge and binge non stop. I don't usually have entree because I wouldn't be able to finish my main course if I have them but the succulent sizzling garlic prawns are just so tempting I ended up finishing most of it and left S with nothing but some French bread and olives. The worst is yet to come, I actually finished my main course this time around. And I manage to down a glass of wine too! I don't feel exactly bloated although I do not have room for desert anymore. I'm convinced my tummy has expanded twice the size it used to be.
This morning, I started off with cereals and ended up with ice-cream and Pringles (again!) for brekkie. I really need to pad-lock the fridge!

yay! long weekend
I'm so happy this coming Monday is a public holiday! But wait, not for Uni students. S is still at uni, my girls are as well so that just leaves me and my dogs celebrating.
Tomorrow is gonna be extremely hectic. I'm going in to help out at second mum's restaurant in the morning and go back later in the evening as well. Then there is lunch with S in between (I can't avoid him for some reason - God please just kill me), probably some shopping - it's gonna be window shopping this time around as I'm on a budget at the moment.
This month would be the first time in my life paying Dad my credit card debt (not exactly a debt coz he gave me the card). He didn't ask for it but I should have stopped spending my parents money a long time ago. I'm just not earning enough to fund my life at the moment. I need a boyfriend who is willing to spend on me. Desperately.
Shopping woe and money matters aside, I've been having weird cravings these days. Last night it was cheeseburger, this morning I had craving for KFC boneless chicken and I've been drooling over apple strudels from this particular shop since 2 weeks ago but I managed to suppress the feeling so far.
I've been deprived from reading lately. I miss a good book! I want to go to movies more often as well. The last one I watched, Hostel is just plain disturbing. It's the only Tarantino movie that I dislike. He's not the director though but really, no plot, excessive gruesome violence and torture - I don't need that. No one does, unless of course if you're lunatic. Or a sadist.
Anyway, it's time for me to go to bed. Goodnight and dream of moi... ;-)

tonight i have craving for cheeseburger
Whenever I go to McDonalds, I only ask for 3 things:
1. 6 pieces of nuggets
2. A small fries
3. An apple pie
But I'm having craving for their cheeseburger right now!!
Badly!
I hate cravings because they absolutely drive me insane. Thank God it's just 9pm right now. At least McDonalds is still open.

i heart today's weather
Before I dozed off last night, I've already planned what outfit I'll wear for the next day since I'm gonna go out to do grocery shopping.
I'm not sure it's just me or some girls do experience this as well but sometimes, I can't sleep and I got annoyed when I can't put an outfit together for the next day. My last resort would be during shower the next day where I have 15 minutes to think about it. And if it fails, it really spoils my day. Yes, I can be that naive at times.
I also have this tendency of matching my bra and panty/g-string with the outfit I'm wearing. I know no one is seeing it but it makes me feel good knowing that.
Anyway, I was so ecstatic looking out the window as I woke up this morning. It's beautiful. There is no scorching hot sun waiting to kill me. Wohoo!
I'm dressed in a black spaghetti strap topped with a short sleeve bolero over it and the shortest jeans short I could find in my wardrobe, just so because it's really much more convenient since I have to do a lot of walking. I'll have to be simple with accessories because I'm just doing grocery shopping and not some glam function hence it's just a simple pink necklace which one of my girls got me when she was in Spain. Pink because I'll be wearing my light pink Havaianas. And a pair of silver hoops earrings to team up with my silver bangle. Bag would have to be black because too much pink will make me look silly, wouldn't it?
Now that I'm not exactly talking to S so I have to eat my heart out lugging groceries by myself. But of course I'd like to look gorgeous in the process of doing so. *winks*
Have a nice day because I'm pretty sure I will!
