watched
Bridge to Terabitha with sufiyan in the afternoon. yup i miss watching movies with sufiyan cos im not much of a movie person and he always drags me to the cinema. which is a good thing cos i feel more updated when i hang around ppl. especially lailak. haha..so yes, i prefer watching movies which i dunno anything about and just stroll into the theatre wthout knowing what to expect. but i do think that cinemas should put up a tissue sign. a tissue sign? yes to warn ppl like me to bring along their tissues so that we dun have to worry about going out of the thatre with a mascarra streaked face. yes im such an emotional person and i cry very easily. and sufiyan always spoils my emo mood cos he gives me this weird stare everytime i cry. and i can feel him staring at me weirdly even in the dark.
but anyway..i do recommend this movie..it's a teeny weeny bit like Pans Labyrinth which i did enjoy very much. in fact, come to think of it, this movie is like a cross between Pans Labyrinth and My Girl. i think i know why i love movies like that. because i can relate to ppl with very active (even overactive) imagination. i love in my own world. i day dream so much about my perfect world. in my perfect world where everybody dresses perfectly and every place has perfect deco. and i get an endless supply of money and clothes and bags and shoes and apple cinnamon muffins and pasta and...and..many many more la...
i feel like getting something from M.A.C. just havent decided what.

Adieu.
one of those self absorbed entries where i only talk about myself..but......wait a minute...i always talk about myslef..ok u get it la..it's those entries where i describe what i did for the day. went out for ec-ing session with the lailas today. not so much ec today cos for some reason we were super stoned. pacific coffee at vivo is nice..but..pacific coffee at city hall nicer and cosier and much much lesser ppl..so we'll stick to city hall.
first stop: Pacific coffee vivo
love the deco for pacific coffee cos i think it's very warm and cosy. the branch at vivo is no different. it has a nice view of the..erm...stretch of water that separates the main island and sentosa...and also the cable car and the gigantic merlion with no water spitting from the mouth and a half-demolished ferry terminal. so sad.... :( oh and the outdoor seats were cool there was even a seat which is like a swing too. so cool but im actually scared of those seat cos i always imagine the swing like breaking apart. i dunno why also..
second stop: the donut place (shucks i forgot the name)
yes we waited for one whole hour for a dozen donuts. cant believe it. even after i finish my ben and jerrys, we were still queing. i got phish food... from ben and jerrys i mean..very nice! ok back to the donut place. the reason why the queue is so long is because of the super slow service. i mean seriously...the person actually went back and forth 12 times to get our 12 donuts...*smacks forehead*. so we split the donuts we got 4 each. i only ate one..the cinnamon and chocolate one cos i looove cinnamon. i gave shirah the blueberry thingy, ina the sweety cheese and sufiyan the mon cheri. unfortunately it was squashed by the time the donuts got to them. shirah said that it was still very nice. but that's because it's shirah. -_-
kiasu singaporeans obviously not happy with the long queue my face expressed how i felt about the service. laila j always looks calm. it's a lawyer thing.
how i look like when we finnaly reached the counter. famished and no donuts left. :( enjoying the donuts at the steps of vivo.
third stop: forever 21
i've always said that i love the forever 21 outlet at vivo. cos it's like filled to the brim with lots and lots of colourful clothes. seriously there is lots and lots of varieties there. however today i realise that there were a lot of things there i wont consider buying at all. and i think that some of the items are overpriced cos i can get almost the same item at bugis street at a much much cheaper price.
yes laila j very nice hat and almost exactly like the one u wore today. top #1:
navy blue! i like ! cos i've been seraching around for amtg in navy blue. unfortunately this was overpriced and didnt come in my size. but i think it goes well with my black skinnies.
fourth stop: topshop
funny thing is there was a whole big hoohah about the new line designed by kate moss. oh well i do think that kate moss has a unique sense of style. but the pieces in this line are alright. only some interesting pieces stood out. nope no throng of teen girls rushing to get in topshop to get their piece of kate moss's design. nobody ripping off clothes from the manequins. and topshop shouldnt have even bothered to put up a sign that said that each buyer was only entitled to 5 items from the line cos nobody took a second glance collection. in fact i think that they should fly those girls from london or those who didnt get a chance to purchase what they wanted from Barneys to Singapore and give them a chance to buy those items. everybody was more interested in the 50% sale which i must say is very worth it. i tried on 2 very very nice tops that prices were slashed.
top#2:it's a very poor photo. excuse the face. navy blue! i like! and u cant really see the details but i really loved this one.
top#3: i really really like this one cos it is so not me. and actually i wanted to get this some time ago just changed my mind cos i thot that it was really expensive. but now it's $50. i think it's still quite a lot. so in the end.......
i chose neither. *BIG SIGHS*. cos i am broke and buying either one of the tops would make me penniless. im so sad. i dun like being this broke. ive never felt this broke cos unlike previous times, i could actually look forward to pay and quickly rush to the stores to get what i want. but it's different now cos i am UNEMPLOYED! i need money!
went back to forever 21 to get another colourful top which i was eyeing cos it was cheaper.
ya la ..what to do :(
but i did have fun today. met up with sufiyan and headed down to eastwood for our weekly friday dinner. pak busu is back for a week or so...and today's dinner was extra fun. i dunno why. it just was. :) and so im here now. still depressed about money. and trying to come up with solutions. have a great weekend everybody :)
and can somebody tell me where to get some decent cardigans. cos i searched around and couldnt find any. im trying to look for one that's not too long so that i can wear it with my empire waist tops. the cardigans that i have sleeves which are not long enough.

one is sick and the other one is "cacat" (yes my sister did it again..she fractured her leg this time round)...oh well im surrounded by sick ppl..even lailaj is sick..and my granmother's toe is still not healed..so get well soon to everyone who is sick....dun forget your medicine and make sure you take in plenty of fluids..
so i decided to save myself from embarassment..and give the last top that i bought from ina. after many nights in front of the mirror with that top.i realise taht it's no use lying to myself and i could never ever pull those puffy sleeves off. i noe it only costs 20 bucks. but right now 20 bucks is a lot of money to me. going ec-ing with the lailas again tmr. we're trying a new place instead of the pacific coffee at city hall so we're heading to vivo. so that means more shops for me to find something i really really like. so pls God let me find smtg i really like cos i wanna buy smtg to make myself feel happy..
i watched the last episode of grey's anatomy..it's so sad la..i cried bucketfuls..i'm such a sucker for these kind of things you noe. i realise that i like to cry. haha..so weird. but after i cry i always feel better. i don't have to be sad to cry..but i think it releases my emotions. aniwei maybe it's the depressed me who's still depressed about clothes. i know it's a selfish and rather narcisistic thing to be depressed about but yes ugly clothes make me very unhappy.
i decided to take up acting for ppp. kamal is right. now's the best time cos i got no school. and laila is also right cos i have nothing to lose. i'll be tired but it's a small price to pay for experience. and as for my time with my family. i'll make full use of my weekday evenings which im free except for those days which i have meetings. and also my sundays which will be reserved solely for them. sufiyan is also giving me his 100% support so im very very thankful for that and i make sure that i spend a couple of evenings in a week with him after he finished work. so hopefully everything will be okay.
so my mom would really kill me if i take up a job. she doesnt want me to mix around with bad company. -_- maybe i'll find more of those one day jobs. maybe. hopefully. desperate for it.

EVERYTHING
You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say
And you play you're coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.
And I can't believe, that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you,
You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, LaSo, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you,
You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.'
Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeahSo,
La, La, La, La, La, La, LaSo, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

brought sufiyan to the polyclinic just now. that poor boy was sneezing his heart out all the way to the polyclinic. blood shot eyes, a sneezing fit. that boy was in really bad shape. then we reached our destination and we waited patiently for his turn to see the doctor which thank goodness didnt take too long. and when his turn finally came, i went in with him. but the doctor asked me go out when i was in because i was just a girlfriend. perhaps it was the way he asked me to go out. i did feel humiliated. as if i was a little child and a juvenile who skipped school to send her boyfrined (which she is too young to have) to the clinic out of over reacting sympathy. i have never been fan of the service at polyclinics. too many bad experinces. from doctors who speak too softly to women at the counter screaming at my dad, i dread going to polyclinics. service sucks, to say at the very least. so yes i very much prefer doctor lim, whose i have been under since i was born. so yes back to what i was saying i did feel humiliated. and that set me thinking(while i was waiting again, for the medicine at the pharmacy), this whole going steady business. this whole girlfriend and boyfriend business. what value does your girlfriend or boyfriend have in the eyes of your peers and family. your other half is not bonded to you by anthing. not by contract and definitely not by blood. the relationship is so fragile and can be ended at anytime, anyplace. all you have is trust. but we know of too many stories where this trust is thrown away just as easily as it was gained. Shakespeare was right. what's in a name. i'm just a girlfriend. it's just a label. people around me or around him dont take it seriously, at all. but yet, why am i sucked it this whole idea. because i choose to ignore what other people around me think. so yes that rude doctor snubbed me. but he doesnt know what i have been through. he might think that i am too young, but he knows nothing. he could have talked to me in a more polite manner but i forgive his ignorance and his lack of manners. so yes i guess all's good.

cleared out the stuff under my bed. i think the fengshui of my room has improved now that
is finally done. lol. now all that's left for me to clear is the boxes at the side of my bed filled with papers since my secondary 4 years. and there's another box filled with memorobillas like trophies in primary school. i dunno whether to get rid of them because i think those were the only trophies i have ever won in my whole entire life. how sad. i know. well i wasnt an athelete AT ALL in school. but then again those trophies are taking up space and im too embarassed to display them. i know that if i was under the care of my uncle and aunty it would have been in the trash a long long time ago.
so anyway after clearing that up and after my mom gave me her lamp. woohoo...i am now inspired to do something to my room. i think i wanna paint it like rustic green. i've been thinking about what colour should go on my walls. but now i think i want like a light rustic green or maybe mint to go on my walls. i think it would be nice. searched under oprah (cos i really love nate, dun you?) and they gave some tips on how to make your bedroom look like a professional designer did it but under a budget. really useful and creative ideas that i cant wait to make my way down to ikea right now! but that would of course be ridiculous cos ikea is closed no?
and i think i know what theme i want for my bedroom. ambitious? but if my dad dare move for the umpteenth time im gonna kill him!!! and run away from home. i love geylang.....hahaha..that sounds wrong but i think this is where i really belong. oh yes i was also inspired when i watched parent trap just now. i think the deco for the london home was fantastic. tried to google for pics but i was rather unsuccessful.
so yes. this adds to my long long list of stuff i wanna do. muslimah night meeting tmr at 9. *yawns* so far and so early. i feel like bugis street-ing tomoro, and i shall. yay! budget stuff! my kind of stuff. oh but my mom said that she forbids me from buying anymore cheap shoes. boo! cos she say i might develop bunions. :S err..ok...so she's taking me shoe shopping god knows when for real shoes...yay!!! i like.....
