Sleepless

After 1 whole week of insomnia, i am ready to join the zombie league.

I can’t even remember the feeling of getting a good night sleep anymore. My eyes are watery and i squint all the time coz i can’t focus.

Omg… i’d give anything to get some slumber. I tried warm milk but that didn’t help except frequent waking up to the toilet to pee. I hope chamomile tea works. I’m brewing some now. If that doesn’t help me sleep, i’ll need to pop some Panadol… i know, i know, i’m not suppose to do that but f*ck i need to sleep!

Kobe attacked Doodle just now. She’s such a bully! Poor Doodle’s front left foot is hurt now with several punctured marks and i think its sprained or something. Doodle is the doggie that we rescued. The one that got hit by a car and was left in front of the shop lots. Well, her hind leg were broken now she walks with a limp. I hope nothing happens to her front legs this time. I’ll have to schedule another visit to the vet… sigh… all my $$$ goes to the vet. Next life, i hope i’ll be a veterinarian.

Ok, i think my tea is cooled down a bit and i’m going to drink it while watching Prison Break. Please pray that i’ll sleep tonight. Good night!

Update 11:48pm: It’s my first time drinking chamomile tea and i hate it! I can’t take another sip. It’s just plain weird. I’m popping Panadol instead. Wtf.

Unphotogenic

Here are some of the photos, i’ve taken of myself last night. I am really not a photogenic person… sigh… there goes my dream of being Malaysians Top Camwhorer champion.

All my photos looks horribly ugly, it doesn’t do me justice. I’m not super gorgeous but i’m not that ugly. I think. No one has regurgitated or fainted in horror by the sight of me. But why are photographs of me makes me looks like a 100 year old squinty eyed blob with a long history of obesity??

The only decent photos of myself is taken with me looking downward. So from now on i’m just going to take photos staring on the floor and if anybody ask, i’m just gonna pretend that i’m actually a very artsy person taking only artsy photos of myself.

Staring at the floor

Staring at the floor again

By the way, the bangs aren’t real – i pulled some of my hair from the back to the front. My hair is still short, a little above my shoulder and i tied it up into a ponytail. I think i look kinda good with bangs don’t you think so?

Royalty Free Music

Royalty free music or RF music is a new term in my dictionary. It never occurred to me that the theme and background music of a multimedia production or broadcast i’ve watched came with a price. The music is probably licensed and a costly royalty fee is charged each time it’s played. That’s super inconvenient and it would not look good on a budget production.

Now however there is royalty free music available online such as at the Audiobank.fm which means now companies could have the privilege of making a one-time purchase for the production music. The purchased music could be used as many times as needed but legally of course. Yes, online store for RF music is really cool.

Ps: // Check out the Reason drum kits sound-bank from Audiobank.fm too. Good stuff!

I want

Don’t believe any female that you meet that innocently tells you “I’m not materialistic. I don’t need physical things to make me complete“. She’s either a hell of a convincing liar or she actually comes from the planet far, far away where men prance around in polkadot leotard and the women stank like rotten fish from the lack of shower.

I’m materialistic.

I want this.

Yes, i want but it’s not in the market yet so how? Wait lor… no money so how? Cry lor.

Mr. Bf will willingly be my victim if i let him be coz hell hath no fury like a woman scorned right? And trust me you don’t want to see me angry. Grrr! I’m joking.

Every time a new model caught my interest, our conversation will consistently revolve around a similar pattern.

“Yer… the handphone so nice!…”
“You want to change handphone is it?”
“No lar… so expensive…”
“It’s ok lar. I get it for you”
“Don’t ok. I don’t want”

Then i will sit and sulk for hours and for the next couple of weeks obsessively stalk the handphone’s latest news updates before finally giving up. You see, i would rather keep my… i mean, his money to go on a vacation. And seeing that he paid for my new laptop and all the trips that we went to, i’m not without reason. And being the reasonable girlfriend that i am, i’ll quench my material desire. Sigh… i am so wai tai, no?

Yes, i am super wai tai and all my previous phones looked like it’s been bitten by a rabid dog. What?! I’m not born with the how-to-take-care-of-your-mobile-phone manual planted in my head ok?!

I have a dream

Today mom dragged me out of bed at such an obscene hour. Needless to say i was cranky like a starved baboon. My bones, muscle and head hurt, obviously from last night’s Panadol. I’m really not a morning person. But i did sleepily brushed my teeth and got dressed all in the name of filial piety and because i can’t stand her intense nagging for another second… uhm… mostly the second.

Against my better judgment i had agreed to accompany her to some annual shareholder meeting. You know, those meetings where mostly retired old folks or unemployed, basically people with time to spare, goes to just to get some freebies or door gifts. But the thing is you never know what you’re gonna get till you are there. The last time i fell for mom’s trap, we drove all the way to KL to get a useless plastic clock with the name of the company stamped in huge letters across the face.

With such a ‘fun’ outing planned, i of course wouldn’t leave Mr. Bf out. *wakakaka!

So mom and both of us went there separately. I really must applaud Mr Bf’s patience because i was complaining the whole way, small tantrum thrown in to garnish. God help me, i was held against my will and i was tired and hungry too, ok.

But this made my day.

Mr. Bf: Psst… (in a whisper) i’ll tell you a secret.

Me: What?! What?

Mr. Bf: I have a dream.

Me: Huh???

Mr. Bf: Since i was a kid i had a dream… (grinning like a Cheshire Cat)

Me: What is it then?! Quick tell me.

Mr. Bf: I always wanted to be a ….. (pause for dramatic effect)

Me: Argh… and? (fingers ready to pinch his nipples less he tells me straight)

Then in a deadpan expression,

Mr. Bf: I always wanted to be a… mafia.

So let’s give Mr. Bf another round of applause. Yes! And again!

Whilst i’m typing this i’m trying very hard to balance the laptop while standing. I have to perform standing ovation in the honor of Malaysia’s very own Joker 2009 don’t i?

Psst: Do you want to know what we got from the meeting? 2 bags of plant fertilizer each. Wtf.

Personalized Children’s Plates

As i walked the aisle of the departmental store, the boyfriend smacked my hands for the umpteenth time. I was having a hard time deciding a gift for a friend’s new born baby so she would be so mesmerized by the smashing present that she’ll graciously bestow upon me the honor of being the child’s godmother. Yeah, i’m so desperate like that.

While trying to spot the perfect gift, i was carelessly scratching my head each time i saw something and my fickle mind goes to work. In the end i gave up and bought an elephant-print baby blanket. Lame, i know but why is it so difficult to find a gift for such a tiny human being?!

Then i got back and mindlessly search for some gift idea on the internet – it’s always good to plan ahead and maybe i’ll find something fantastic for the toddler’s 1st birthday just to make up for the lame blanket. After many similarly lame suggestions from some website, i came upon a page that has a wide range of products and gift ideas for kids and mommies too! Check out the cute name too, Posy Lane. Like that’s so adorable right? They have toddler backpack, stickers, nap mats and what do you know – baby blankets that are nicer than the one i bought. Great.

Next time i’ll be the kid’s favorite aunt coz i’ll get the coolest gift for her, a personalized children’s plates from Posy Lane. Even when she’s eating she’ll be reminded of me! I’m such a great godmother.
