A summary of my life in 2008

THINGS THAT I'VE DONE IN 2008

1. Joined a class (two classes actually) where I knew no one, and managed to get through the semester successfully. And made new friends too.

2. Supported my dad when he was hospitalised for only-God-knows-how-long to remove the growth in his stomach. Of course, I couldn't have done that without someone's help.

3. Collected my very first dean's list ceterficate (A bit late though, I got in in 2007)

4.Learned to operate the washing machine at home (Yes, I know, I'm so undomesticated)

5. Learned to understand men better (i.e.when is the right time to complain/nag)

6. Tried to quit being a shopaholic. But failed.

7. Became a teenager again a.k.a growing acne on my face.

8. Got my first car!!!

9. Took pictures at Dreamworld with my bf for the first time (lots of "firsts" in this list...hehe)

10. Finally tried J.Co Donuts...and hated it.

11. Went to Auckland, New Zealand (another "first"...hehe)

12. Got my hair cut shorter than I want it to be, by mistake. Screw that hairdresser! Until now my hair hasn't grown much, it's still shoulder length!

13.Attended pre-marital course.

14.Performed some good deeds by doing community service at the zoo (hehe, actually I just wanna get the marks)

15.Got the worst cough of my entire life. It lasted for months!

16.Discovered my ambition of becoming a "designer"...until I got discouraged when I found out that in engineering, a designer does not design things (as in, draw!), but they rack their brains coming up with dimensions of buildings and boring stuffs like that. No thanks.

17. Started eating brown rice as part of my low GI diet (kononnye lah...)

18. Landed an interview with a multinational company...and then screwed it up.

19. Got dean's list for the second time :)

Quick date at Pavillion

Today is Mr.Y's first time to Pavillion.

We parked at Lot 10, and walked to Pavillion. He acted like a little kid, he gripped my hand as if he's afraid of getting lost :p

He was pretty excited once we arrived there.

He's always asking me a bunch of questions also.

"Where is Bukit Bintang?"

"Where is Starhill?"

"What building is that?"

"Why is Lot 10 green?"

I feel like a tourist guide.

We had lunchie at Pastamania. My favourite restaurant in Pavillion. Love the food, the atmosphere there.

Before we went back, Mr.Y decided to stop at Haagen Dasz. He said he wanna know what it feels like to hang out and eat ice cream at Bintang Walk. Haha. Sorry this entry is boring coz there's no pictures. We were rushing just now coz someone's busy with his final year project and I wasn't in the mood anyway.

Splurge!

Today I accompanied my mum to KLCC coz she wanted to buy this necklace at M&S that she really liked. I didn't plan on a major shopping spree, I was only looking for a face powder and Himalaya Protein Hair Cream.

Anyway, I ended up buying more than I planned for. M&S was having a sale (every shop is having sales), everything 40% and 50% off. I bought two tops and a gold purse. It's been awhile since I last shopped for something nice to wear, I always buy boring t-shirts and cheap clothes at Sg.Wang. Besides, I got my loan already. It's not that I want to finish off the money. But the logic is, loan + sale season = shopping! Total amount spent = RM250. Which is still OK, coz last time Mr.Y spent RM200-300 on just one shirt at M&S. At least I got 3 things (Haha.Nak sedapkan hati).

The necklace comes with the top!

The other day I accidently knocked my face powder off my desk and it broke! I've only been using it for a few times! I shopped around for it today, but it's nowhere to be found. I guess the manufacturing of that powder had stopped. Then I went to Watsons. The Maybelline, L'Oreal, Revlon, Kate, Fasio powders failed to interest me. In the end I bought the ZA face powder (because there's a sticker of Winner of Malaysian Women's Weekly Best Beauty Buys 2008). And the price is reasonable too. RM30.90. *Sigh* I am such a scrooge.

On my way to Himalaya to get my hair cream, my mum wanted to go to Parksons. I tried NOT to look at Warehouse and Dorothy Perkins. Buttt...I walked away from Parksons with a DP pink fashion thighs (RM26). OK la tu, at least I didn't buy everything at Warehouse! Haha.

Ade org tu excited nk pegi Pavillion esok. Name org tu Yasser.

New shoes!

Went to Ikea with my parents today, coz my mum was looking for new cover for the sofa. Last time I went to Ikea/Ikano/The Curve with my parents was 3 years ago. Usually we prefer to go to shopping malls which are near to our house (KLCC, Ampang Point, Great Eastern, Bkt Bintang area). Yang jauh2 ni malas nak pegi!

I was looking for high heeled shoes. I saw one in Vincci catalogue which I really like, but in the end ended up buying something else.

This one has a 3.5-inch heels. I'm too chicken to buy anything higher than that (considering those health problems related to wearing heels). Price: RM44, my dad paid. And I'm not gonna wear this 3.5-inch heels all the time, only during special occasions when I'll be surrounded by tall people. Haha.

I also bought another heels. Price:RM 26.95. I bought this one first, but then realized its too dull after I left the shop. So that's why I decided to buy another one. This one has 3-inch heels.

For everyday wear, I chose 2.5-inch heels maximum.

I also bought a couple of tops. 50% discount.

And....I bought some of my favourite things. Books! Books also got sale. Hehe. It's my lucky day. I've always wanted to buy the LBD book Blue Remembered Heels by Nell Dixon. And I also bought the Twilight book! It's a bestseller (I'm always easily influenced by bestsellers) and the movie's a hit so I want to find out how good the story is! My other purchase is The Infinite Wisdom of Harriet Rose. The storyline seems interesting, and the cover's really nice too! But the thing is, WHEN will I have the time to read all these books? Hehe.

The monsters

God I hate my paternal cousins.

They are like monsters. They make the kids in Cheaper by the Dozen look disciplined.

Things they did to Koko:

-One of them hit her repeatedly with a towel
-They make snarling noises at her
-They stamped their feet on the floor, hoping to scare her
-They hit her with pillow numerous times!!!
-And many more!

What is wrong with them?? I look at other people's kids, they're all adoreable. Their naughtiness level is not so bad. But my cousins...huh!

Koko, who is a really ganas cat, actually HID UNDER MY BED AND REFUSE TO COME OUT. That shows she's extremely scared of my cousins. In fact, she even growled at them and tried to bite them. Koko never snarls or hisses at people (except the vet).

If you have no idea which cousins I'm talking about, they are the "piranhas" that I described in this post

Why ants are just a bunch of idiots

At first, it was lizards. Now my public enemy #2 are ants. (When will I be at peace with nature??)

Ants are working on my last nerve because everytime I boil water, they would come into the kettle. They're so stupid. The water's hot, and they can't swim. In the end, I see a sea of dead ants in my kettle. It's a lose-lose situation. They die, and I can't drink.

Why can't they just stay away?? Or go find sugar. Plain water isn't their kind of thing.
