whew...had a really tiring day...woke up early to accompany my sis to the bank..seems like whenever we go to the bank together, our clothes always match...aww...how cute...hope those ppl over there didn't think that i was her mom!! anyways, went to midvalley to get my bro n dad their birthday prezzies.....unfortunately, i think we got more "gifts" for ouselves than for them!! hehehe...whoops! remember the devil's nifty toy..? yup, got a workout today....poor me..i'm considering locking it up in some safety box until i could settle all the payments...
so, got this really cool football from nike for my bro...it's all metallic silver with a few MU logos on it..(his favorite team)..and no, it's his favorite team NOT for all the hype surrounding the team..but ever since he knows how to operate the vcr, he's been taping their games, buying videotapes of their games..tapes of Cantona, Giggs (his two favorite players)....i remember..(getting nostalgic here..) when we're were younger attending school, my mom would not allow us to watch the tv on weekday nites..so, like after midnight, we would sneak downstairs to watch tv or vidtapes, hehehehe.....i could usually find him stretched on the couch watching ANOTHER football game(with the volume at its minimum)...hey, to me they look the same..but he's there, analyzing...kinda makes me proud to say that he's not a bad football player himself after all these years...heheheh...those tapes have since been relegated to the bottom drawer of our tv cabinet...
anyways, got a few things for my sis n myself...had lunch at the food junction, where we stuff ourselves silly with fetuccine carbonara, some steak/lamb combo n bruschetta....was kinda a reflected irony when i saw a family of mat sallehs sitting at the table next to us eating rice...hehehe...then we visited the kl fashion week exhibition..it was very interesting, altho' there weren't many exhibitors...zang toi had a booth there, tho'..and his mom was there...his collection is exquisite (am not trying to be eloquent here, it was really, really nice!!) the layout was really nice..lotsa oriental-inspired dresses hanging on mannequins and in this antique wardrobe...i think the theme was roses..or something like that..maybe springtime..cuz there were lots of floral element there...there was also a display of heirloom jewelleries...the types u see in malay classical movies...really gorgeous antique stuff..fine handicraft...i overheard this lady asking the exhibitors if they are considering selling some of the pieces...she was even enquiring the price range...then there was the loveliest nyonya kebayas on display...*sigh*..wish i have the figure to look good in them....so beautiful..by ang eng...price range? above RM 800 for a kebaya top...i say, give those ppl doing the embroidery in indonesia some business...wherever possible..go direct to them...trust me..it's totally worth it...
then it was all traipsing all over midvalley...there was so many ppl around..it is a good thing that they have such wide spaces that we don't have to struggle our way through...even met one of my oldest friends...believe it or not, we were in the same class at kindy, way back when we were 5..and we also went to the same primary school...doesn't sound weird? get this...our kindy was in setapak, kl...and our primary school was in subang jaya!! all the way across the klang valley!! it was by pure chance that i met up with her again in primary school..there was even a cute story about it..each class back then had to sacrifice a few minutes to pick up some rubbish around school...and it was our turn that day..apparently there was another class out picking rubbish...so there we were by the hibiscus bushes..when i saw her...my long lost friend...hhehehe....we stayed friends till standard six..by then we were already i the same class..haha..i did many naughty things with her in those early nineties...cycling all over without my mom knowing..going to the mall without our parents' knowledge..going swimming at the public pool...again without them knowing...sheesh...when i saw her just know, all these memories start to rush back into my mind...such fun times...well, got her number..so will probably meet up with her soon..with some other old classmates...
my sis n i walked until we couldn't walk anymore, sampai kaki nak tercabut..so we decided to go into mph to rest with a good book...hmm...such selection...which do i pick??!! my sis went straight to the self-help/teenage romance/what should i do if he seems interested-uninterested section..i wandered over to the interior design section and settled with a home decor book on houses in paris...quite interesting...flipped through a few pages...then went over to the fiction section...found one nice corner and Jemima J...yay! however, it was getting late, so i couldn't really stay that long...was tempted to put my name on the harry potter's latest book's reserve list..was even more tempted to purchase Jemima J..but had to restrain self..haha...will do it soon..(promise to self..) can't wait for the next harry potter book to finally come out!!
got home...took my brother out to shop for jeans (was really, really tired at that moment, but it is his birthday, so? sacrifice lorr...) he got himself some really cool-looking levi's...to cap of the busy day, had dinner with family...a saturday night ritual we have since like forever.....
full day huh? yup, u could say that...a dear friend called up later and we talked for about an hour (!!) hahah...girl talk...when will it ever end? she was bugging me to update my blog...so, this is what i'm doing..with my contact lenses screaming, Get Me Out Of Here!!!!
uh-oh..better tend to them...night.....
