Beautifully Imperfect.: April 2005

Book Sales.

birthdays Saturday, April 30, 2005

Book sales are bliss. Lol. Seriously.

If any of you have time and enjoy reading, check out the book sale at the Times Warehouse Sale, it's situated next to Colgate & Palmolive at Section 13 (opposite Cold Storage). There are tons of books. I repeat, tons. Loads of authors, Catherine Tan, John Grisham, Maeve Binchy, Jeffrey Archer, Anne Rice, Stephen King, Meg Cabot, Adeline Yen Mah, etc. I spent up to two hours there, scrutinizing book covers. I was like a kid in a toy shop. But it was fun, it was something I hadn't done in ages. I remember when I was a little girl, I used to love going to the MPH sales in Jalan 223 under the hot sun and searching for my favourite Sweet Valley Twins books. Haha. Now I'm bringing my nephews to the sales, and buying them Spiderman coloring books. How things have changed.

I can't believe I just spent RM 90 on books. It was pretty worth it, though I've never spent so much on books before cause I usually rent them. But this time round, it was really worth it, I got 16 books for RM 90 which roughly evens out to about RM 5.50 per book. I got Harry Potter : Order of The Phoenix for RM 8. Can you believe it? Lol.

Okay, okay, I know I'm totally boring everyone to tears with my book talk over here. I'm just glad that I'm up and blogging again. I had a faulty modem for about over a week. Thank goodness my brother had an extra one.

Anyway, since today's the last day of April, I'd just like to give this part of this post to a couple of my dear friends who have turned eighteen over this past month. =)

Here we go, April babies:

Sheng - April 2nd. Miss you, woman. Heard you've gone less bitchy and have moved on to baking cookies now, eh? hehe. you know i'm kidding la right? =)

Ching - April 13th. Now that I've bought you a pair of new basketball shoes, you can eat your old shoes with ketchup. Hee hee.

Ann - April 19th. Sorry I couldn't make it for your celebration, girl. I miss you. And your curly hair. ;o) Happy birthday, again yeah?

Pek Wah - April 24th. Italliannis food was good, yum yum. Haha. Hope you like the piggy. Have you stuffed tissue up its ass yet? (gawd, that sounds so obscene.) For everyone's information, the stuffed pig's a tissue holder. We're not sadistic people over here.

Mun Fong - April 29th. Hope you have a wonderful birthday, girl!!! Not that not being legal has ever stopped you before, but anyway, enjoy being finally legal. Lol.

Anyway, hope you guys had a great birthday. As for me, I'm gonna slowly wait till August.. (*hint*) to finally get my license.

Oh well, until then, I'll just curl up with one of my new books and spend a leisurely afternoon leafing pages away. *grin*

Of Wedding Bells and Streakers.

fangirl moment Saturday, April 09, 2005

Lol. Coming up with blog post titles sound so incredibly spastic. No surprise there actually. Gawd, this is KILLING me. It's a Saturday night, so what the heck am I doing home alone? Sometimes I surprise even me. Sigh. I sound like such a total recluse. Damn.

I'm so bored that I've even subjected myself to watching the live telecast of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles' wedding on TV. Only to catch a glimpse of their hunky sons, don't get me wrong. It's kinda hard to get an eyeful of Prince William and Harry when the camera man keeps on zooming in on Charlie's wrinkles though. Although, if the TV station were smart enough, they would get more close ups of the two princes. That would get more viewers. Definitely.

Gosh. The royal family looks really boring though. They look so damn stately. The men waddling about in their tuxedos and bowties, and those moustaches that look like the one on the logo of Mr. Potato's chips. The women are primly dressed in similiar looking outfits, only in different colours. Colours like fuschia and aqua. Can you believe it? With the amount of ker-ching they have, you'd have thought that they could afford some flashy designer outfits. Oh well, my bad, perhaps those distasteful suits are designer ones after all. Not like I'd ever know, of course. And they're all wearing these gigantic big hats. The ones that go out to at least 10 centimetres from your head. When Camilla Parker Bowles lifted her hand to wave to the crowd, she hit her hat. Lol. That was pretty funny. She hit the hat on the top of the car when she got in too. See? Those hats are a nuisance.

But wait, that's not all. The public just HAD to add to the excitement. Yup. There was a streaker in the crowd. This guy just made his way to the front of the crowd and decided to STRIP. What was that for, buddy? An act of appreciation? Geez. Yeah, anyway, the English policemen didn't seem fazed at all, though. They just sorta like held him down, and pulled his jeans back up. Lol. No kidding. I seriously wonder how our Malaysian police would have reacted to that. And then they just escorted him down the road with their police on horses to the nearest police station. Trotting down the road just like that. Smiling at the crowd gamely. Lol! I'd just like to see our police do that.

Yeah. So you do get an idea about how bored I am, huh? Oh well. At least I did get a tiny glimpse of Prince William looking absolutely gorge in a suit. I suppose that should have made my boring night better.

April's Fool.

birthdays Friday, April 01, 2005

I'm tired. Pooped out, man. Was sleeping so peacefully when was interrupted by the phone. Sigh, I must really learn to remember to put my phone in silent mode when I nap. Oh well.

Had MUFY Games today. We played netball =) and even if I do say so myself, we didn't do too bad! Considering some players in our team didn't really play netball. We only lost by one goal, 3-2. Besides, some of the players on the other team looked like pro netball players, so it was a good result for us. And by the way, I scored both goals. Lol. Yeah yeah, I know it doesn't take much to make me happy. We weren't as ganas as them either, cause Yan Yan kept on getting bumped into. Poor girl.

April's Fool today. Got fooled first thing in college by Sheow Hui. Sigh. That's just how gullible I am. And Mr. Mahesh tried to fool all of us by telling us there was a Maths test later that day. Haha. That was a pretty lousy try though. I can't seem to think of good pranks this year. Must have used them all up last year. April's Fool was much more fun back in school. I still remember Jo fooled me FOUR times last year. FOUR TIMES! With silly lil things. Like, 'Hey, there's a fly in your drink!'. Yeah, that kinda thing. Hmph. What can I say, I'm just innocent and trusting. Haha! [Oh, and speaking of Jo, he's all botak now. Can you imagine? He should be coming home for break this week, cause it's Cheng Bing.]

Oh yeah, on a totally different note, I CANNOT believe Jessica got eliminated from American Idol! I mean, she didn't do so well this week, but she still deserved another chance. Grrr.

Yeah, and you know, there are just some people who are so incredibly stuck up and think so highly of themselves. Pompous jerk, who talks without thinking first. You don't give us respect, you're not getting any in return, buddy.

I'm getting my new phone on Monday! *stands up and dances around room* Yeah, I feel like a little kid all over again opening presents on my birthday. Only that, it's not my birthday yet. Yeah, I know, I'm not making any sense AGAIN. I realize I do that a whole lot. It's like I'm getting old and nyanyuk. My memory's deteriorating, and I barely make sense most of the time.

*gulps* I'm growing old!

Lol, but anyway, speaking of growing old, SHENG MAE turns 18 tomorrow! Haha, just kidding bout the old part woman. You know I am. Hee hee. Here's an advanced happy birthday greeting!
"Wishing you wisdom beyond your years, beauty beyond the eye, and happiness beyond the heart. Success in whatever you do and God's blessing for each day, 365 days a year. May you have a great year being eighteen." *hugs*

That's all for now. I think I'll go curse at the rotten uncle in Golden Faith now. Lol. [And for those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, just switch on your TV sets to TV3 at 6pm during weekdays. You'll get hooked soon enough. =P And curse at the rotten uncle along with me too.] Bye folks, thanks for sticking through this ranting.
