Pretty princesses posies

Skipped my photoshoot for the A-Levels yearbook to go to 1U today. Hehe. It was gonna be a mug shot and I totally do not like mug shots because I don't look nice in them. So why bother going? Simone and Wil Liam very kindly gave me a lift to 1U as they were headed there too.

Met up with Thiam Beng who got caught by this fella from GSC/TGV to do a survey cause he was waiting outside the cinema for me as I was late for half an hour plus. Sorry yea. =)

Surveyor : So which of the following drinks have you drunk in the the following month? Pepsi, Yeo's, Sprite etc. ?
Thiam Beng : Nothing. Only water and Milo. *I stifle my laughter*
Surveyor : Even now CNY also you didn't drink any of this drinks ah?
Thiam Beng : No *I turned away as I nearly started laughing*
Surveyor : Wah, very good very good. You so healthy arr...

I bet you the surveyor knew Beng was lying and said that to be polite and for lack of nothing else to say. Haha. Well, he got 2 free passes to TGV for 10 minutes of his time doing that survey.

We can't decide what to eat so we hit the shops first. I gleefully walk into Elle which has a huge '1/2 price off everything' sign. Vincent meets us here and I'm pleasantly surprised again at seeing a nice collared long-sleeved shirt and pants which is so maturedly working styled. Did you guys conspire to wear so nicely today or is it just me who isn't so maturedly dressed, hmm?

After trying on several items, I realize that the clothes that I want are either too tight or too loose. Dang! Oh and that '1/2 price off everything' sign has the words '1st item full price. 2nd item half price' in really really small print right at the bottom of the sign. Saw some pretty dresses but I didn't get them as there wasn't a valid reason to, other than for the fun of splurging.

My teacher once said that guys do better at a chapter of math which requires you to visualize the image of a 3D item to find the correct 'satah' and angles and I always agreed whole-heartedly with her till today. My solid belief in this has been shaken by the fact that you both find it so difficult to visualize a certain 3D form, to remould and re-image it. Tsk-tsk. *shakes head* Or maybe you both just don't want to make the decision, horr?

Head over to Axxezz to look at some girly items and I find what I've been looking for. Its not the one, but its not too bad lar. I've always wanted an earring-holder to hang all my dangly earrings on and I found one today that looks like it can hang quite a few pairs. The drawback is, it looks oldish and it costs RM89.90. If I'm ever going to pay that much, I'd want it to be perfect. =)

Than we go to Jusco to look for Vincent's cufflinks. Before that..
Vin : Blah blah...cufflinks.
Me : *Having wrongly heard the word movie in the previous sentence* You want to watch the movie 'Halfling' ? Sounds err familiar-ish...but I don't really know what it is.
Vin : Huh? *stares blankly* I'm not quite sure what cufflinks are, but don't they have something to do with the shirt? *points to the holes in his shirt cuff*
Me : OH! Cufflinks izzit? *proceeds to explain the meaning of cufflinks to him*

Head back to the new wing to look at more pretty things where we dither around more. Vincent's msg tone was the sound of a wolf-whistle and the first time it sounded, I discreetly tried to find the source of that offending sound to eyeball him with a very dirty look only to realise that it's coming from Vincent's pocket. Oops. But I think the saleslady was also doing the same thing. Hehe.

Thiam Beng was starving by now but I staved him off by offering Vincent's arm as a snack to munch on as I wanted to go back to the old wing to pick up something.


See, who says some humans aren't cannibals in the 21st-century?

I never bothered to go into Axxezz much, but after taking a closer look at their products today, I think I'll go back to that shop more frequently. After all, they sell nice Ascot-ish hats and a lovely slipover for the back for your hairbrush which is really lovely and wouldn't look out of place on a princess's dressing table. =p Plus their service seems pretty good too.


At the shop counter where there is a Visa Wave scanner..
TB : Oh look, there's a Visa Wave.
Me : Yeah, that's a Visa Wave.
TB : Look at me *waves his hand in front of the scanner* Oh, its not working.
Me : Umm..that's because you're not Visa? *looks around to see if the shop assistant saw him doing that*
I alternately want to burst out laughing/hide my face from embarassment. Hehe.

Karl Son and Zhen Quan are supposed to meet us by now so we sit outside Vincci's and wait. After 10 minutes, I get impatient and I make them call up Karl Son to hurry him up. After more than 20 minutes of staring at my feet in a mirror, I get fed up and the guys are hungry so we go to KFC for a late lunch.


Sigh, I guess I can't escape from fast food. =(
And who says that only girls are the ones that are always late? =p

At KFC when Karl, Zhen and Huey-in meet us, Vin starts telling us about his experience at a cybercafe where he was playing CS and there was a guy who was quite good at it (whom I shall call A) and that guy's even more pro friend (whom I shall call Z) who was advising A.

Scenario : Vince and A are the only one left in that round. Vin has an AK-47, A has a pistol.
A : *says to his friend* Aiyo, sure lose wan la. That fella (Vin) got AK-47 but I only got pistol.
Z : Aiya, that fella so stupid also you can kena kill by him wan meh *in cantonese*
Result : Vincent kills that guy. Haha. *smirks*

Walk around a bit before Karl Son gives me a ride back home. During the ride home, he enjoys making me scream at him to hit the brakes or my indrawn gasps of shock. I arrive home in one piece *phew!* and still breathing. Hehe. Jangan marah ya, Karl Son. =)

Come home and correct 2 pages of Microsoft Word with liberal doses of sarcasm that is supposed to be a proposal, but it doesn't even look like one to me. I tell you, kids nowadays have it too easy...*shakes head*

What is the world coming to?
