What I Did Last Weekend


let's see, i now have NINE followers. who knew???
i started this blog just to voice out my opinion and observations over certain matters; and now i have nine followers. thanks all and welcome to my thoughts and mind, narcissistic i may be sometimes but that's me.  
             okay, let me HIGHLIGHT on some of the things that i did last weekend. since it was the school hols 
(these are some of the perks of being a school teacher. school holidays that is so irreplaceable. no other jobs can top the amount of school holidays. that's why i'll never quit no matter how good other job offers may sound.)

And Here They Are In Some Sort Of Particular Order:-
1. i went to KL last Friday after school session ended and drove in the middle of a hot, blazing afternoon. yes, and didn't even stop for a toilet break. (didn't need one since i was fasting and the amount of water that i consumed since sahur had long evaporated)
2. i went to KL to see friends over some reunion cum buka puasa event; since a friend just got back from Japan and i haven't seen her since. plus when will i have the chance for a group gathering? Ramadhan and iftar seems like the best time to meet up till the wee hours of the morning. yes, with my baju kurung and all. again at Vivo, the Curve. found out that one friend is in a relationship and marriage is coming right up. good for her. 
3. i was complimented on the new DOWNSIZE me. so very happy. 
4. for the first time since 5 months and a half, i had teh ais. two glasses but couldn't actually finished the second glass. 
5. met two friends unexpectedly; gosh, sometimes you just have to thank your lucky stars. and made a buka puasa date with one of them. fruitful outings.
6. got up real late and didn't sahur at all the next day coz i was feeling full from the previous meal. it's ok, i'm a survivor.
7. went out again, this time to Amcorp Mall to get some stuff. saw Roslan Shah the kinda 'gay'-ish performer there. not a fan, though. but i bought two eau-de-parfum from france there; two for only rm69.90. my sister will be so bloody envious on this.
8. went for buka puasa at Bangsar where i had such a hot tom yam bee hoon. so hot it made me teary-eyed. i can't believe i actually cried over a food. 
9. sent S for balik kampung in duta. i won't see her til next year i guess since she'll be back in Japan to finish her PhD.
10. went to the Curve with L to try and shop for a new jeans but alas, disappointed. the Curve is a great hangout place but a bad shopping hunting ground. except for the flea market. 
11. buka puasa with H and L and had a good conversation all the way. the food wasn't bad too. will come again next time.
12. went to MidValley alone the next day. so i skipped about wanting to return on monday. what's another day in KL??? now it's ME time. off to Bobbi Brown for that great buys. lovely assistant by the name of Cherry made a simple make-over for me. wanted to buy the foundation only. ended up with other items as well, the blush and cleansing oil....the face vitamin and sunblock were so good. and she gave me free samples too since i haven't the budget to buy those face vitamins sunblock yet...and the samples are quite generous too..two small jars that were overwhelmed with those products. bought the cleansing oil too. liked the texture and effects. got a free tube casing for travelling and a make-up bag....and a free gift from MidValley for spending. 
13. decided to go to Body Shop to look out for a foundation brush since i figured Bobbi B's must be  exorbitant in price. Ended up with three items including a big size White Musk Oil Perfume which i so, so adore since ages ago, a soap and a cellulite massager. (this to me is a good thing to have too, to aid me in my body toning as well)...i got 15% off of each items and automatically enable me to become a member for life and getting some vouchers too...all for rm150.80. another happy purchase for me.
14. next stop is dorothy perkins. been a long time since i walked in there. i'm having high hopes. if i can't find my jeans there then i have to go somewhere else. 
15. finally, oh finally! found that jeans!!! an offer for rm73 on an indigo bootcut! wahoooo! and it fits too. hell i'm a happier person now. owh, couldn't resist the two blouses on sale too so i bought them too. one in dusty pink and another in a deep purple. hey, i need those. before i altered the others i need some clothes on my back too. 
16. last stop, the supermarket for some grocery shopping since i promised the girls that i'm gonna cook for buka puasa for them. and got all those stuff and head home to cook.
17. cooked tom yam with mushroom and chinese cabbage, salmon & mackerel fish curry using Brahim's brand...no santan. healthier option. grilled six chicken wings and marinated lamb. they will be happy once they return. 
18. finished cooking earlier than schedule. must start late the next time. A bought a home grown papaya and i also bought seedless watermelon. fruits for me and a tuna melt sandwich for buka puasa since i don't take rice these days.
19. boy those girls can EAT!!! dunno whether i'm a good cook but they each ate two plates of rice and everything else on the table. A loves the salmon fish curry so much. glad they love it. made me happy to feed them.
20. made tuna melt sandwich for supper for them. they like it too....so pampered by me.
21. and went home the next day. sayonara KL, it was fun but my cats missed me. 'til next time.
22. went on the scale and i lost 1 more kg. it must have been all those walking.
