"WE END IN A COLLISION AND OUR CAR DOORS LOOK LIKE ACCORDIONS."
happy new year, buttheads.
this year seems different. for no rhyme or reason, this CNY is different. good-different :)
i was just thinking, when i get hitched, i'd be eating with my husband's family and my parents would be feasting alone. haha. oh, i can't wait to be married to someone with a bigger family than mine. maybe he won't be as rich as my grandparents, but i can already imagine about 20 plus people jammed into a HDB flat, where there's a buffet of home-cooked food, and lots of noise, babies crying, aunties gossipping, husbands yelling at the TV set..... sigh. sweet bliss. i've had enough of family reunions at restaurants, where there's clanging of crockeries, where other people are babbling and talking.
usually, our table's the quietest, where conversation is stilted and awkward silences reign supreme. i'm glad to announce, that this year, WE TALKED!!! :))))))))))))) lovely surprise. we talked and talked and honestly, i loved it. this is what family is like. but still, i'd love to celebrate CNY with a BIG BIG family. future hubby, please have a big big family.
i was thinking about how the next few days of visitations are gonna turn out like. haha... and then i skip forward about half a decade and wonder what visitations then will be like. hmm :)
anyway, i got my nails done today :) haha i have now moved up one notch in bimbotism. ah hell,i love my nails! i got a french manicure of the natural colour. (i'm not one for fancy shmancy colours, so i stick to au-naturel) i have to say, however, that i was completely bored while getting my nails done. BO-RING. i wasn't even allowed to READ! how brainless is that?
talking about reading, i just bought 5 more books from Borders yesterday :))))))))) i have to tell you this. i was at the information counter cos i couldn't find the Jodi Picoult section. so there's this other guy who looks about, 30? and he's waiting too. then i ask the info dude "um sorry where're the Jodi Picoult books?" and then the 30 year old guy said, "you've gotta be kidding right?" and then i look at his book list and it's entirely Jodi Picoult.
so he explains that it's for his sister and then we laugh and have an oh-gosh-what-are-the-chances moment. the info guy leads us to the Jodi Picoult section and then we start talking about which books are good. so i grabbed a book and then said my goodbye. then the 30 year old says, "i'm Patrick, what's your name?"
and then i say, "i'm Grace. it's nice meeting you!"
and then he says, "um, would you like to keep in touch?"
and so i say, "oh no, i'm so sorry... i don't, um, you know, make friends, this way. haha um all the best with the books!" (and besides, i'm freaking 17.)
so he smiles, i smile, i wave, i walk away to look at other books.
so i'm browsing at another corner and then he runs up to me and hands me this 40% voucher thing and says, "just because we're all book lovers." i thank him a million times over, and then i grab a few more books, pay up at the counter, then ran off to eat sushi with the grandparents and parents. and then i say to myself, "THANK GOD FOR THAT 40% VOUCHER!!!" because i managed to buy 5 books for friggin' $62. thank you , Patrick, whoever you are :) it's not because you're old. even if you're drop dead gorgeous and 18, i wouldn't give you my number either. but thanks for asking anyway :) from book lover, to book lover :)
oh! i was humped by a dog today. HAHAHAHA. my cousin's dog, to be exact. we were at my grandparents' house after dinner and then my cousin brought her dog (named Ryo) over from Dunman-terrace house. and so we're playing mini-mahjong (!!!!!) on the floor and i'm sitting there and then this fluffy little white maltese comes up to me and starts licking me non-stop. it was mega ticklish, but ah well, it's a dog. then he stands up on two legs and grabs on to my arm and starts to HUMP ME.
EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...................... o.O
and all my cousin did was laugh. thanks ah! i mean, being hit on by a 30 year old is one thing, but being humped by a dog?!!!? oh please. i now have a phobia of male malteses. scary, horny beings.
i bought the black zara sweater after all :) i love it. oh yes i do.
more shopping in the days to come.. after all, i just got some ang baos :) hee. i need to lose weight. and i need to finish up my portfolio. ISAAC DARLING I NEED MY RESUME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
i'm waiting with great anticipation for Haffiz's call. PLEASE CALL PLEASE CALL PLEASE CALL AND SAY I'M HIRED AND THAT I CAN START GOING FOR THE TRAINING THING IMMEDIATELY PLEASE!!!!! i need a solid reason to wake up. haha
life hasn't been great, but i thank God anyways, cos things could be worse. and anyway, no matter what my life is like, there's always someone out there who's suffering more than me, so i can't complain. things have been a little weird lately, and i've been having crying spells which i don't understand. i won't blame it on PMS, though it's highly likely. haha. ah well, life is life and yeah.
i look forward to the future, cos i anticipate change :D and i also anticipate 2009. i'm off to sleep, pumpkins! more angbaos to collect tomorrow, and more people to entertain :) HUGADOODLEOO!!
