And its the karaoke version to boot!
Feel free to sing your hearts out everybody. Don't shy shy. Haha.

Moi? Fashionista? oOoo Merci!
With this much time on my hands, it figures that I would start surfing aimlessly on the internet; and looking up sites that I wouldn't normally do.
Like this one :
Back in ye ol' days, I sometimes do lament the lack of branded or cool clothes; but I'm pretty glad that I'm past that stage (that's what I tell myself) and that I had that adolescent experience in the early millenium rather than now.
Looking at kids these days, they do grow up way faster than our generation: the 80s' babies.
When I was their age, I used to dress in my brother's oversized t-shirts. And the amazing part was that I thought I looked damn cool. Seriously. Together with that centre-parted short hair.
Can't imagine living through that again in this PSP, Nokia and Sony world. Boy am I glad that that phase is over..
Oh wait. I still have his old shirts in my cupboard but that's different....
I admittedly, am never informed about fashion, the trends and the like; influenced mainly by the lack of funds to splurge on 'Style Essential Buys' and 'Top 10 Things To Own in Your Wardrobe'.
If I have 20 bucks in my pocket, chances are I would buy another book with it. Obviously something I cannot wear.
I'm still a girl though, and I do enjoy fashion; shows that is. It's fun to see other people having makeovers and beautiful clothes. My closet favourite is still 'America's Next Top Model'.
Hard to guess eh?
Having browsed through several fashion pages, I do feel like a semi-pro.
Now all I need is the cash.
Darn.

Orbs
OMG.
My parents are on this diet of Hokkien shows that I get inadvertently pulled into their world.
The world of *lim peh's' , am kor's and ah bu's ; of family turbulence and moral values.
Wahlau eh.
Siao liao.
See!?
And no. My Hokkien hasn't improved from all that, thankyouverymuch.
I know la. My grasp of the language sucks, but I really do regret not practicing it when I was younger. I can't remember when I started not speaking Hokkien that much, it just slips away. My household is about 95% English now.
Sigh.
I do wish I'm more fluent in my mother tongue. Half mother tongue at least.
* (in order) your father, but and mother
Oh great orb; whence will my mom's car get fixed?

Written words
Mom : "Can start a warehouse sale lo"
-_-'"...
Am in the middle of Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. It's so true to me that I'm taking blardy long to finish it; just so I can swallow each word, digest and let it come out the other end.
And then do it all over again.
It's using up so many brain cells then I often end up lethargic and sleepy soon afters, before the clock strikes 12 even.
Perfect remedy for a good night's sleep.

Go Lakers Go Lakers Go!
Kena tembak kau kau for not updating. lol.
Oh well!
It's always best to give everything you're doing, your all.
For example, if you're playing basketball, you should give it your 100%; faster, harder, stronger.
If you're working on a project, you should give it your utmost commitment.
So if you're on a holiday like yours truly, it's really quite obvious that you should do nothing but bummed your bum bum away.
Shake your bon bon, shake your bon bon!
Yeap. That's basically what I've been doing these few weeks. Waking up relatively early, have some breakfast, read the papers front to back, watch some tv and pack my stuff.
For some reason, my family seems to be content in shifting our stuff from home one box per day. A perfect illustration of 'Sedikit-sedikit lama-lama jadi bukit.' I'm in the process of transporting me books. Bucketloads.
To the uninitiated, I am, proudly a collector of books and a groupie of warehouse sales.
The first time I set sights on a 2nd hand bookstore, I thought I was dreaming.
When I stepped into my first Pay-Less Warehouse Sales, I thought I've gone to heaven.
As the smelly aroma of dusky old books fill the room and I gently wipe away the thick dust that covers the yellow pages, shaking off tiny specks into the atmosphere; memories of heroines, the unknowns and pipe-smoking detectives come flooding back.
In bits and minced pieces of course.
And that's minus all my notes and old school books and stuff. Sigh, why did I keep em in the first place? Lesson to self : Keeping just in case, is absolutely no good for a clutter-free home.
As for all the children's books, I probably would donate them to an orphanage or kids of friends of mom.
...
Its times like this that I wish I have a car, a car to zoom away to far away distances of food and good company. I would show up at friends' place beeping and we'd rush off to savour exotic dishes and laugh our asses off.
And when 5 pm comes, I would gallop on this imaginary horse straight to Subang. Haha.
But that horse ain't appearing just yet. Darn.
...
And yeap, introduced Adam to almost everyone in the gang yesterday at 'Siva's' Housewarming. It's an 'all-at-once-want-to-bully-now's-the-only-chance' thingy.
It was fun seeing them all after sooo long.
Didn't scare him, so thats good.
I KNOW you guys talked about us once we've left. lol.
Don't bluff.
So, Uni friends done, Form 5 friends done. Which leaves us with Primary School Friends, Pre-Form 4 Friends, Form 6 Friends and Non-schoolmates. And Miscellaneaous. Hah.
And of course, that small, teeny bit matter of my family. *Ahem.
...
In case you're wondering why I'm so free, I'm waiting for the new semester's Registration to be open.
Supposed to open at 9 a.m.; it's now 9.55 a.m.
Wow. Way to go UM, man.
...
Okaythatsit.
Want to go watch Lakers beat Orlando Magic's buttocks.
Oh well!

Sniff
I wanted to blog on so many things; but could only come up with only one thing right now.
I miss my chayang.
Sigh.
I need my book fix.
