Hey ho everyone...If you are wondering why I am no longer posting here on my blog...that is cuz I've move to blog to www.IrisBaby-homeofmadness.blogspot.com. So check out that site for more insane posts from my mad mad world...Tulu!
Here are some pics of my recent trip to HongKong...as promised!
A Teochew restaurant in the Mong Kok area
Hello Kitty MTR!!!
Three sisters after a tired day shopping!
Old barber shop along Pok Man Street in HongKong~you don't get to see this very often!
View from the top~New Territories
Whew! Finally back from my 48 hour shopping experience!!! Exhausting but totally satisfying! Shopped like mad...especially at Lai Chi Kok *pronounce as Lau Chi Kok in Cantonese*, the area where all the wholesalers of clothes, shoes and bags are. My dad, the joker as usual, said that this area has an obscene name! Haha...you wanna guess why? Think and get back to me with an answer...
I finally got my long-awaited 8.1 megapixel Casio digital camera!!! So happy! Got it at the Mong Kok area. I recommend the electronic stores there over the ones at Tsim Sha Tsui where most tourists get slaughtered at. Although we stayed at a hotel that was a lil far off from the shopping places, HongKong's public transportation, namely the MTR is absolutely convenient. However, Royal Plaza Hotel at Prince Edward West is an extremely posh hotel with suprisingly big rooms for a HongKong hotel. It is located inside Grand Century Plaza and the MTR is just down the road!
I also finally got my Nike dunks from Po Hai Kai *Canto too* in Mong Kok. For all those sneakerfreakers out there, this is definately the place to be!!! Shop after shops of Nikes, Adidas, Puma, Converse, K-Swiss etc etc...and all at a really cheap price! These are all original. If you wish to get the fakes, just go to Sham Shui Po, which I really don't recommend.
Saw the newest hotel in HongKong called Langham Place. Beautiful! But extremely expensive and their rooms are really really small! Barely had space to even walk! Downstairs from the hotel is the longest escalator in HongKong. I am not certain of how long it is but I am sure that anyone with a fear of heights will certainly faint at the mere sight of it! Hehe...
On the way home in the airplane, I watched Ice Age 2:The Meltdown and at the end of the movie, there was this one scene at the end of the movie where the cutie lil squirrel dreamt that he was in acorn heaven and I finally figure that heaven might be what we want and love most in this world instead of what most people portray. And hell might be the place we fear most. Any ideas??
All in all...HongKong was beautiful!! Can't wait for my next trip and it might be next month! Haha! Please dad...I wanna go again...
My morning started like any other...turning on my Toshiba laptop to check for mail or maybe if I am lucky someone offering to buy my PDA. *yes...i wish to sell it!* My plans to go shopping at One Utama with Jessica were cancelled because her parents were on the way to visit her...nevermind! That was a good way that I could stop shopping and save money. Or so I thought...
After a yummy lunch with Jessica at Lucky Gardens, Bangsar, I drove her home and headed to MidValley...supposedly to just take a look see. I ended up at Shu Uemura where I purchased a compact foundation, a nice lip shimmer and a UV makeup base. I got free membership. I am now a Shu Fanatic!! Haha...that is what the membership is called. I got a free cosmetics case...very very nice and useful! It was worth rm270 so I figured it was worth it. But after I got home I thought shit! I bought rm300 worth of makeup just to get a bag, a membership plus a free makeover and an A4 size studio pic taken by New Look Studio, Amber Chia's photographer once before. I ended up paying another rm100 to get some extra pics because they looked so nice! Haha! I'm seriously proud of them.
So much for saving money!!!
I'm so lucky to have sucha spontenous dad. Due to my mom's unwillingness to give me her new 8.1 megapixel Casio digital camera *mine was stolen*, I had to get my friend Jinghan to get his sister to get me one in Hong Kong because it is much cheaper. So I called my dad to ask if he would pay for it, and he said sure! Lucky me number one! So we chatted and lil' and finally my dad said, "Darling, are you really keen on going shopping in Hong Kong?" Like DUH!!! Of course! So I said yes. And guess what he said??? "I won't have time in August to go to Hong Kong with you. So why don't I bring you this weekend? I'll check for available tickets." So check he did!!! And now I get to go to Hong Kong for a 48 hours shopping spree!!! Yippee!!
I'll be going on Saturday morning and I'll be back midnight on Sunday, the very next day! Oh! I can't wait!!! But I'll miss my honey's off day!!! BooHooHoo!! I was really looking forward to it!!! But I think he prefers me going...haha! Cuz I can get cheap Nike Dunks there!!! And he knows I never go anywhere without him in mind! Awwwww....haha! So please don't call me this weekend. If you need anything just sms.
Ladilalalala!!!
I woke up at 9a.m. this morning. Been on my feet the whole day!!! Picked Amanda up from her home and left for The Curve for a reunion with the gang at 12p.m. I wonder why I am always either early, punctual or just a teeny tiny bit late??? Can you answer that, CaiMei??? Haha! You know what I am talking about!
Had a yucky yucky lunch that cost us all Rm20 each at Thai Express. Please do not eat there! If you like Thai food...don't eat there! It doesn't do Thai food justice! And the prices! Ohmigod! Don't get me started on the prices! Rm7.90 not including tax for a glass of orange juice! When we all saw it, we straight away knew it was from a Peel Fresh box of juice! Like hello?!? How much is the retail for a litre of Peel Fresh??? And need I remind you that Thai Express gets it at wholesaler price???
But all in all I had a good time with the girls today. Caught up with all the stuff going on in our lives. Especially happy to see Grace after so long...one year! Whew! She looks gorgeous and sexy as always! Love you, gurl!
When shopping again! Haha! Couldn't resist! Metrojaya Midvalley had their one day preview sales today. Got some really nice bras for a really cheap price! It was actually only for MetroCard members but we smuggled in! Amanda told the door man that our mom was inside! Way to go, gurl!
Guess what??? I went to Midvalley again after sending Amanda back to her boyfriend's place and had my dinner! Haha! Told you I'm a shopacholic! But this time I went with my mom. She came down all the way from KLCC by LRT just because I told her of the sales! Like mother, like daughter...hehe!
Anywayz I'm getting really tired...wanna go to dreamland! But I'm happy because tomorrow I get to see my HoneyBunnyBooBoo!!! Haven't seen him since Sunday! Miss him so much! Honey, I love you! Muax! Hehe...
*ramblings of an insane mind*
Oh my God is all I can say...
I had an extremely fun day today. Had a nice lunch with Karen at Plaza Damas, Hartamas. First time I've had soto ayam in KL. Went to a short walk around the complex and I discovered many beautiful and nice things...although the prices were very nice too!*sarcastic*
Later on, leaving the complex, I suddenly decided to go take a PEEK at Cats Whiskers boutique. Armed with a firm resolution not to buy anything and a small amount of money in my purse, I went.
Once I went in, it seemed that it was destiny for me to break my resolution. BooHooHoo! I went mad!!! Trying on clothes, shoes, bags...For those who don't know me, I am a certified shopacholic! Hehe!
My ILLNESS does not only extend to clothes, shoes or bags...they include household items, stationary, linen stuff and absolutely useless things that I have no use for but think that one day I may use them. Aiks! Crazy I know...
It seems everytime I step outta the house...I just need to buy something! Nonchalant as to what it is! My hands start to twitch everytime I go to a shopping complex! I once spent rm130 at Guardian buying nonsense!!! Someone cure me please!
So after the initial shock of spending rm450 at Cats Whiskers, I am now finally settling down to admire my purchases:
1. Lime green tube top~beautiful!!!
2. Brown singlet top~comfy!!!
3. Black spaghetti top with frills~sexy!!!
4. Checkered spaghetti baby doll top in blue~sweet!!!
5. Torquise high high high heels~suprisingly comfy!!!
6. Brown flats with tiny lil' coloured stones~real comfy too!
7. Purple clutch leather bag with a flower~gorgeous!!!
8. Pinkish reddish string of wooden beads~small to big to small!!!
9. Green metallic string of pearls~i lurve them!!!
I am no longer going there or anywhere near Hartamas!!! Haha...
I doubt it...BOO!!!
Sunday night at a nice Hong Kong food restaurant at Hartamas, as I was flipping through the menu, trying to decide between fried spaghetti with beef and special nissin noodles with ham, egg and sausages, my PDA rang. I saw my mum's picture blinking and picked it up. Instead of the usual "hello", all I heard was sobbing from the other end of the line. My heart stopped. My first thought was something bad happened to someone in my family. It turned out to be true. My godfather, Uncle Ah Liang, passed away.
I tried my very best to maintain my composure as I was in public, but I failed. Tears just gushed down my face and I sat there shocked, grief-striken over such a sudden and such a senseless tragedy.
That night, as I laid in bed, begging for sleep to elude me, all that filled my mind was the image of my beloved uncle. My thoughts drifted to many, many years before when I was a little girl.
I was an inquisitive child and a talkative one. When both of my parents could no longer take anymore questions or listen to anymore of my childish stories, he was the one who entertained me. Knowing I was enthralled with vehicles like buses, vans and tricycles, vehicles my parents didn't have, he would bring his Cap Tangan van over and give me rides on it. So many memories that cannot just be erased overnight. He has been a prominent figure all through my life. It is so hard to accept the fact that he is gone.
Uncle Ah Liang, we love you but I guess God loves you best. May the wind always carry you towards happiness and the sun lit up your wonderful soul. I miss you...we all do...
Do you ever get the feeling of utter loneliness that leaves you feeling better off death? Well, I know I certainly have experienced that more than once in my lifetime. If you ask me when does this usually occur? I can answer you straight away that it is mostly during meal times.
Why you may ask? I ask you, why not? Meals are supposed to be shared, not eaten alone. I bet we have all watch movies where the leading lady waits alone for her man to come back and enjoy the fabulous dinner she has made for him. You see her sitting alone at the dinner table, waiting hour after hour, with no prevail. In the end, she just throws the dinner away and clears the table. My question is, why doesn't she have her dinner first and then throw away his share? My answer is this. Food never taste as good when you are eating alone.
Chinese tradition is to have dinner with the entire family present. It is a time for bonding, for sharing and for caring. It is a time to tell the other family members how your day went, and if there are any recent improvements in your studies or work. Dinner between family is a time of joy, full of laughter and jokes.
If eating alone is so fun, why do people always plan to meet during meal times? I'm sure you have been invited to a lunch date or dinner date more than once in your lifetime. Maybe even breakfast too... :)
I am alone for dinner tonight. Do I skip a meal or sit alone eating a meal tat is tasteless to my senses?
I miss you honey
I really should have called before I went to your place. Now I feel like I've messed up everything. But still I'm happy that I got to see you, even if it was only for a short period of time. Still...it's better than nothing. Since I haven't seen you since last Saturday, seeing you for awhile just now meant a lot to me.
Sometimes, needing you becomes so difficult and uncontrollable, that I become a little mad in the head. I'm sorry if I scared you with my actions just now. It's just that I really miss you, and seeing you after so long, all I wanted was to hug you...to feel you in my arms again. I'm very embarassed for being so straightforward and so desperate. If I could change what I did, I certainly will.
It's supposed to be our anniversary today. So, happy anniversary again, my love. Although we never really celebrate our anniversary, I always will remember it each and every month. On this very special day, I often breathe a breath of relief, and tell myself, we've survive another month! How cool is that?!? Hehe...Although we are apart, my heart still belongs to you, and it will never forget this very special date when you and I gave our promise to be a couple and to devote ourselves to each other.
You seem to have thin down since I last saw you. Your voice seems to have grown rougher. I think you seriously need some rest. Please take care of yourself. I know you can, even if you don't have me around to nag nag nag anymore. : )
I miss you honey...happy anniversary
I keep reminding myself that losing you is not the end of the world. But it still feels like it. I'm trying to keep it together but I'm falling apart.
I feel like such a failure. I failed to be the person I once was. I failed to be an understanding girlfriend. I failed to build a good relationship. I failed to change my undesired behaviour. I failed to keep you by my side. I failed to forget you. I failed to stop missing you. I failed to stop loving you. In everything I do, I failed. So, why in the world would you still want me? Why are you by side? How can I be any use to you now? It's no wonder you left me...left me for brighter moments without me.
People I love always stop loving me when they realise I am not as strong as I pretend or suppose to be. I am but a simple girl, who wishes nothing but to have her man by her side. Who wishes nothing but to be cherished and loved by the one she loves. Who wishes nothing but to be the person who can make you smile. In the end, I failed this too.
I know I shouldn't bring myself down at this moment, but I really can't help it anymore. So now in the end I realise, I am a failure...a dissapointment to both you and I...and to those who love me and want be to be standing strong again. I love you and all I wish is for you to love me back.
I miss you more than words can say
