update

Finally it's done! phewww.... I can finally sleep soundly from now on... Shhhhhh, I've been sleeping with mr thinkpad for few days. Now we can be safely separated and detached physically and psychologically.

I had been topping up my caffeine. Just today, I had 3 cups of coffee (normal is 1 cup) and I am still overcharged with caffeine high that kept me making a list while driving (do report, write documentation, go to damai, pick up stuff from papar home, pick up running shoes, resume running, buy organic soap and the list go on and on)... So here I am writing stuff, so that I can go to sleep in peace...

As I was saying before, I had been working late for few nights already, and sometimes I was alone in the department until late. I JUST realized that I'm actually penakut! Well, not to brag or anything, but I'm not easily-scared-kind-of-person and I love horror movie (but I found that the new-kind horror movies are more gruesome than suspense/horror). In previous workplace, I had no problem driving home past midnight alone. But at that time, I wasn't the last person to leave the office. There was always somebody left in the office, and I knew the security was there as well. But now... in my office I'm the last to leave and I've heard stories about creepy sounds here and there (creepy sounds: knocking sounds but nobody was around). Yesterday, while taking the elevator going down, I was reminded by that korea movie, hmmm, is it the eye? You know that story about this person who can see dead people and stuff. There was a part in the movie where she took the elevator and saw reflection of old lady(ghost) whose feet didn't reach the ground! Trust me, the elevator at my office takes foreeeeverr to go from one floor to another. As I was waiting, I somehow terimagine that movie, and sudahlah the elevator dooor was supeeeer shiny, I just hoped I didn't see ANY sort of reflections other than myself! So today, I took the stairs which took me half the time I spent in the elevator. So, that's how I know I'm at least itsy bitsy penakut... That's too bad, now I can't make fun of people who close their eyes while watching horror movies!

Tonight, I was supposed to go back early for some kenduri. Unfortunately (my mistake), I had to stayback to redo my (I thought) finished work. I thought the alphabet 'O' is a zero! Then at 4.30pm, I had to redo ALL the stuff which took 1.5 days to finish and I was supposed to finish it by midnight. But at 6pm I found a quicker way to re-do the work which took only 1 Hour! It's soooo true, with adrenaline pumping, somehow brain works in mysterious way.

I'm postponing my lens purchase. Justification: it doesn't take a fancy lens to take great photographs. Camera and lens are just tools. It takes skills and hmmmm a good eye(?) to capture great shots. So, until somebody giving me lens for free, I'll be with my standard lens.

Me and a friend were talking about the perfect hantaran months ago... We were discussing the what and what-not hantaran ideas. Don't you think now we can forget about traditional hantaran, and replace it with the new high-tech hantaran? Hehehehhe... I think my perfect hantaran would consist of practical gifts (with many many gadgets!) like blackberry/iphone, laptop, camera accessories, skincare products(the one that I actually wear like clinique), makeup (mac) and I wouldn't mind handbag and shoes. Heheheh.... Yea, women can only dreaaaammm......

Still don't think she's learning to be a madam tai-tai? here is her dragging the bag (no, it wasn't me who teach her to be materialistic.hehehehhhe)

I'm off to bed, until next time!

** I can't wait for fall tv - the long awaited heroes!

necessity or what?

Remember my post on to buy or not to buy a sports bra? I've finally decided to get pairs (on sale!) of it over the weekend.. especially after reading this...

Fact or Fiction

• Fact: Female breasts are primarily composed of glandular tissue and fat and are held in position by delicate ligaments
• Fact: There are no muscles in the breast
• Fiction: Specific exercise will return your breasts to their original shape
• Fact: Once breasts have dropped because of stretched ligaments, NOTHING can restore them to their former position.

**from runnersworld

**Initially wanted to post pic of SB purchase, but macam showing off my delicate lingerie pulak... my SB one is black with crossback strap, the other one is purple...

It's definitely an investment - hey or else I might need an EXPENSIVE b00b job once running become a routine.

Taking advice from city chic on budget book, running shorts are all from el-cheapo brands. I don't need to glide superfast with a nike RM129 running shorts...

*** I will be posting training update in this blog

Training:
35 minutes run @ alam mesra neighbourhood - testing my supergliding black SB, (best!)- cannot jog near work cause i might kena tegur security for wearing running short/sleeveless top

nothing

Nothing much is going on lately.

I was having discussion previously about the retirement age, 56 and now is 58! Gawd that's like 30 years from now. Even now driving to and from work can take me 3 HOURS (really-really terrible traffic) could make me crazy and super-moody! There goes my precious time- And I have to do that in like 30 more freakin years??? Pssst, I need a chauffeur to drive me around :(

Also, I was reading some blog talking about singles and free time. She mentioned other people always assume that her (single people) will have more time than married (with or without kids). I think that's sooo not true at all. Surely married people or parents would have more responsibility, but it doesn't mean that singles have free time all around... Don't you think we have stuff to do too? Like run to the bank, pay bills, do laundry (my all-time-housework), clean the house, send mom to org kawin/kenduri/shops, and sometimes babysit on weekend. So my point is.... singles have responsibilities too-just as the rest of the populations. Eheh... It's how you prioritize and manage your time that matters...

I just read nadiah's noor blog- and saw beautiful wedding photoshoot in hawaii.... very romantic oooo... August is really the wedding month. I've known like 3 couples getting married on 8.8.8 -two of them are miss jaja & emmy (who has been together with the guy since after high school). Also, two of my high school friends- erna & (we used to add ibu at the front) salmie are getting hitched this year too. So it's 2008, the wedding year.

Oooh, i've finally gotten a compact mp3 player for my run! Nothing fancy- 2GB storage to keep me high and running ;) Now, it's time to select some upbeat songs for my (hopefully) 3.5 hrs run!

Now, wishlist, wishlist, wishlist- an Iphone or blackberry (eksyen kan?), maybe new lens for camera, external flash for D70, ooooh can i include financial freedom too?

weekend oh weekend

I have heard news that I might have to work next weekend. Blergh... So today I'm gonna spend time at home, watching re-watching Brothers&Sisters (for the gazillion time) , get myself updated with my google readers, and spring-cleaning my closet. I have many clothes that I don't wear anymore , I'm thinking to give some of them (the size zero pants especially) away to make space for new ones (the >0 pants)...

I also need to make time to go to salon for a haircut. I like having short haircut (it does make one looks younger, if you want to know why), but it's the in-between short-and-long I hate. It's waaay too short to tie it that it's gonna look like chicken tail, and when you let it loose, it flips all over (so disastrous) making everyday a bad-hair day. Don't tell me to blow-dry and go all-hair-straightener every morning, I'd rather spend that 10 minutes doing my hair catching up my sleep deficit. Having long hair is fun though, you can do all sort of style with it. Whether curl it with curling iron, straighten them, have a cool bun with it, let it loose, or just tie it... (I never master the chopstick bun, still don't know how to do it)

Gazillion years ago, I still can't believe I've had hair that looooong... (Me n alissa)

So.... I was catching up with my google reader, then read Rina's blog entry on He's Just Not That Into You. We know the current situation where living expenses now becomes high, and some men use the money excuse to not get married. So, I was taking this excerpt from rina's "- There will never be a good time, financially to get married unless you're Shaq or Ray Romano. But somehow people manage. If your man is using money as an excuse not to marry you, it's your relationship that's insecure, not his bank account. -" Agree or not? But I still think that money is important (can u see that dollar sign on my eyes?), and without financial stability, it would be harder. Of course people who are in love would manage somehow... I was reading the paper few weeks ago, and read this advert on some promotion on some wedding package, it says "Everybody can say I love you, but only I do means you're the one". Soo... you gotta stay away from mr big-romantically challenged guys.

Ohhhhh yea.. talking about mr big! I've watched Sex and The City the Movie... Love it! The fabulous clothes, New York City, the girls, and obviouslly the drama... I must say, if you love the drama, you must watch the movie. Don't expect something different though, since the movie is like 3-4 of satc shows compacted into 1 movie. Those who are planning to watch in on GSC, ehemmmm, expect to be blurred in the middle, since I bet they will cut A LOOT of scenes. But do watch it yea girls, then we can do our review together, hehehheh...

Borneo Marathon clinic was supposed today, but it was raining (super-heavyly before 4pm). So I would stay home and enjoy the coziness of my bed.

the day before a long weekend

Today is the last day of working this week, as sabah gets holiday from the harvest festival. I haven't blogged this as people might think I'm a shopaholic (irk, maybe I am...) But.... I couldn't resist to buy a new SHOES two weeks ago! I've bought myself a super-comfy, super-cute running shoes. It's grey with pink! Okay, it's a motivation for me to get into the running mode. I still can't run for 10 minutes without stopping (always gasping for air).

Recently, I found out that jogging at Likas Lake is not safe at all... Especially those who leave wallets, laptops and other valuables in the car. So, I've decided to jog near my workplace. It's a good place, and I can watch the sunset after running. What a great view!

I've been shopping a lot a bit! So, if I have no money to buy food, I wonder if I can trade my shoes + shopping stuff for food. Eh, do people still accept barter system?

*** I just found out people came to my blog from google search. Some examples... a)hidden message behind teletubby (hmm teletubbies are weird, and i dont watch them), b) gossip kippc (i don't do gossipz in my blog yea! i just prefer to do that in person. hahahha) c) wrong reasons to be in a relationship (nor I'm a relationship guru! i'm a wreck myself) I guess, with google, we can search everything :)

Happy Holiday! eh for those who don't get cuti tomorrow, happy working :) hehehhe

materialistic girl in materialistic world

Wishlist non-stop...

I want a 50mm lense. Haih... I'm so itching to get this for myself special for five-more-days-to-go event. Why I need this? I don't have a steady hand, and I hate using built-in-flash for my camera. I mean, who likes their face to be super-shiny right? Nobody... I need a lens that be used in low-light conditions and can make people's faces to be flawless (hmmm...) But the thought of having no pay for the next hmmm 3-4 months stopped me. Maybe I'll wait till things become more stable... In 5 more days, I'll be having a true quarter-life-crisis. *age is just a number..* age is just a number...*. And stop asking what is my 5 years plan, maybe my 5 years plan is to have "a 5 years plan figured out". Well, something good happened tho, when I went to JPAN few months ago to meet my aunt, some auntie asked me whether I wanted to pick up the (post-SPM) scholarship form. So I guess I still pass for 18 years old.. Hahahaha..

Another ticket to Bandung for another shopping spree. I didn't get to go to a lot of FOs nor having dinner at Kg Daun or Dapur Sangkuriang. I heard these places are beautiful.

A ticket to beautiful Bali.

*I wonder if preggie Hormones are contagious from hormonal mommies... (***trying to stay sane***). I just found out that miss A is going to be a mommy soon, congrats! I guess it right last time :)

***** Quarter-Life Crisis Mode ON *****

Shopaholic in Bandung day 3

Third day... Our day trip to Ciwidey! Okay, at first I pronounced it "Cidiwey" and another supir corrected me. Hehehe.. They sounded alike, don't they???

We were supposed to start our journey at 8.30 am, my aunt at first even insisted Pak Tedy to come at 7.30 (like we could wake up that early!), but since 7ish is macet time, we followed his advice to start our journey at 8.30am.

BUT... read the title above! It's shopaholic in bandung. So it implies that the day didn't start without some shopping. The girls sempat borong souvenirs stuff like t-shirts, keychains, bags in front of the hotel! Hehehe, we're all girls, and without guys who can stop us? Heheheh...

Start our journey around 9am from city of bandung heading south to the town of Ciwidey... Yeay, white crater (Kawah Putih) here we come! We had to go through some kg road, like below to get there... It was an opportunity to see the other side of Bandung rather than the ol' shops.

We even passed few horse carriages along the way... Didn't get the chance to ride them tho...

Stadion Jalak Harupat (below)

Passed by beautiful view of paddy field... They're really utilizing their lands!

Finally after 2 hours plus in the car, we got to the entrance of the famous White Crater. The Wisata Kawah Putih.

When we got out of our car, it was coooold, and I forgot to bring my jacket even! I think it must've been around 15 degrees over there. They have stalls selling belerang (eh, what's that in english?), hats, scarfs and jackets. It was misty and the environment looks very serene...

We had to walk about 100 meters down to see this beautiful view... Don't you think it's kinda mystique?

View from the stairs

Jagung Bakar

Around 1 pm, we went off to our next destionation, strawberry farm. The strawberries are red ripe and big too. Also, they are very very cheap! You can get 1 kg of strawberries for the price of RP35,000 which is equivalent to RM12. Ain't that cheap???

Our picking for the day

Me and my sis with our empty basket

Lots of strawberry plants

Plantation view. Beautiful...

After paying for our strawberries, we headed to the city specifically Ciba Duyut for some 'tas dan sepatu' equals to 'more handbags & shoes'! We also took the time to buy some kerepek locally made, and good thing was I can try the kerepek before buying them... They sell the famous pisang salai, kerepek tempe, dodol, and also oncom which is made from ground nuts (kacang tanah) mixed with other stuff. If you're here, don't forget to try my favorite the popiah goreng. It's small popiah wraps with dried prawn fillings (they taste a bit sweet- and yummy)... No, we didn't go buy any tas nor sepatu (surprising!!!). The choices were quite limited, plus we were surrounded by locals trying to sell us MORE souvenirs. Even some tried to get us buying a Sumpit and a small Gendang (sorry didn't know the exact name). Hmmmm... And why would I need that???

Went to get "forgotten items" at pasar baru again but only for an hour (or was it two?)! Actually me and sis getting some gifts for future kenduri bergunting of a niece. This time, my millions of rupiah had finished- all magically disappeared in exchange for a FULL bag.

Dinner at Restorant Ayam Goreng Suharti. Very exclusive place yet with reasonable price.... This time Pak Tedy joined me and the girls for dinner unlike previous meals (I wonder doesn't he feel hungry from all that waiting while us shopping?)
One favorite dish of the night. It was actually ayam kampung goreng. BUT... it was steamed for FOUR hours first to make its meat tender... After that, it was fried with flour+egg. I just realized that ayam kampung doesn't have that "chicken smell" after being told by Pak Tedy. Ehemm, Pak Tedy shared his recipe of ayam goreng complete with the instructions ;) One fine day when I'm rajin enough, maybe I can cook this sundanese dish...

Shopping finale. Last night in Bandung :)

Shopaholic in Bandung day 2

Second day... I woke up the 'late-st' among all the girls in the room. I was on vacation, of course I wanted to sleep in as long as possible. We went down for breakfast at the hotel lobby. Ehemmm... But the hotel is only two floors, so basically we went downstairs to have breakfast. The breakfast wasn't anything fancy, it was just simple nasi kuning+egg, mee hoon, and bread accompanied with super-strong indonesian coffee and (chrysanthemum scented) tea.

While waiting for our supir, we were ambushed by all the sellers trying to get us buying souvenirs ranged from keychains, t-shirts, bags, pens and other stuff. If you DON'T want to buy from them, DO NOT TOUCH any of the items. They will follow you everywhere until you buy from them.

Second day itinerary was supposed to go to Ciwidey where the kawah putih is located. But.... there was an election held that day, so we might encounter the famous indonesian 'macet'/jammed on the way. So, we figured we might as well postpone Ciwidey plan to 3rd day.

So the plan was to go back to pasar baru to get whatever we "forgot" last time...

Inside pasar baru

Blouses - I got mom's blouse here

Lunch at Pak Chi Met - Ikan Bakar Gurame set with rice

Kebaya Sulam... pretty sulam, i bought the purple-type only brown-ish color.

After lunch, we decided to 'recharge' at the hotel, bringing back again pleeeeeenty of shopping bags. It's more than the first day!

(below) Half day of shopping.. hmmm.. shopaholic? guilty as charged =D

We asked the nice supir to come and pick us up 2 hours after he dropped us off. We ended up taking nap and waking up at 4.30-ish. Then 5 o'clock went straight to jalan alun-alun where the king's mall is located. Our supir warned us to be careful with our belonging as there might be 'pencopet'/pickpocket along there. After that I was holding on to my millions of rupiah in my bag!

Some of the shops were closing when we got there, but still... we got to grab few stuff, some cottons,chiffons, pants, tops and flower girl dresses while we were there... Gesek(swipe)... gesek all we can... hehehehe...

We promised each other we'd meet at the front of the mall around 8pm before heading to dinner. When we wanted to drop off our shopping bags in the car, we saw Pak Tedy was checking out clothes in front of an FO. I didn't even get to see name of the FO. Apparently he was checking out the kids clothes. We took the chance to buy some also. Since I was still holding my shopping bags at that time, browsing was not easy, but Pak Tedy nicely offered to take the bags to the car. Heheh, how nice of him. Only then, browsing/shopping became easy...

After a tiring day of shopping, we were brought to Restoran Simpang Raya to have a feast of the famous indonesian nasi padang. We were served many dishes of nasi padang: meat, fish, begedil, veges, chicken and some I can't remember. It was already 8.30ish when we had dinner, I think we were feeling full from all of our shopping. So, some of the dishes were not even touched, but personally for me, i prefer the sundanese meal rather than nasi padang (is this jawa?). Few dishes were prepared with coconut milk (santan) which made it too heavy. The price for second day dinner was quite reasonable, if I can remember correctly it was about RP160k ~rm56 (including juices) for 6 persons :)

Nasi padang for dinner @ Restoran Simpang Raya

After dinner, went back to the h0tel. Before sleeping, compare barang-barang (in case if anything left off somewhere..heheheh).. then went off to bed because we had Ciwidey waiting the next day :)

Shopaholic in Bandung Day 1

Woke up crankily at 6 am in the morning because we need to check in for our early flight to bandung at 7am. 6am in peninsular time is super-early ok, it's like 5am in kk, it was still dark when we left the house. But I was surprised when I saw plenty of cars already on the road at 6.30 in the morning! Talk about traffic jam.

Flight to bandung takes about 2 hours, and the time difference is an hour. We got there around 10.00am local time which was 11am Malaysian time. My neck was already felt a-bit-strained after sitting on the-very-straight-not-posturepedic-seats of AA. After getting our (almost empty) luggage, I went out and saw a man holding a paper with my name on it. Luckily I wasn't called 'Ibu Rozaidah'. Hahahaha... We were brought to our hotel which is a renovated guest house named Petradissa Hotel. The hotel actually looks like a guest house rather than a hotel, it's quite small, but the inside is pretty nice and the room is quite clean too and not forgetting price is reasonable.

Our supir(driver) is Pak Tedy, a gentle man who's driving an Avanza, just nice to fit the 6 of us. We were informed that our hotel was still not ready then, but we decided to just leave our luggage at the lobby and head straight to the famous Bandung pasar baru.

Pasar Baru

The pasar baru is a 8 floors pasar (6 'lantai'/floors and 'dasar 1'/basement 1 and 'dasar 2'/basement 2) full with everything-you-need-inside. From telekong, women blouse to kiddie clothes to kain kebaya sulam, kain lace, kad kawin. I even got the time to peek at the folders of kad kawin, pretty-pretty designs... Ehemmmm... brides of 2009, please take note.

Pretty laces ehemmm especially for future brides ;)

We spent mostly on first and second floor women blouses/textile shop, even checking out the pretty laces, which I even persuaded to get a pink lace for 2 metres. Now where am I gonna wear my pink lace? Too over for raya? But the collections of lace memang soooooo pretty, I think if I'm a bride, I would want to have 10 pasangs of baju sanding after seeing all those lace. Not that I know the exact-price, but after having experience accompanying mom to maya textile in kl, I must say that the lace are sold cheaper too.

overly sulam telekung

Some of the women blouses also sold in pasar baru too, BUT they're not all the boring mommy style. Some are pretty fashionable for young people and good thing about it is you can bargain the price down. Although, I must say that Indonesian women are quite small in size, if you're wearing malaysian medium-size, you might found out that you fit into their large/x-large size. So, now resolution must be, have to be skinny to fit into small-indonesian size.

tudung shop in pasar baru

Oooh, and another thing, don't worry about having to climb 8 floors of shops. They have escalators and elevator here. But note of advice, please take the elevator if you want to go straight to lantai 6 where the foodcourt was. In our experience, we took the escalator to go to 6th floor, and we stopped for at least half an hour every floor just to check out the shops that we saw! Also, good news for smokers/bapa-bapa who are waiting for their wives but not-so-good-news for me and others, you can smoke in pasar baru. Imagine in a crowded arcade shops full with people, then got people smoking while you imagining your wedding dress in your head, added with weird-smell-of-air-freshener . Hmmm... Not a good combination. But maybe you'll forget about all those while shopping eh?

Handbag shop in pasar baru

Finally stopped for lunch and we were already too hungry from all the shopping cardio. We went to a recommended stall, Pak Chi Met which is famous for its ikan bakar. I like the ikan bakar, it's a bit sweet and crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I think it's called ikan gurame? But this is just for me, since sis didn't think the fish suitable for her throat.

RP60,000 for lunch: ikan bakar, ayam goreng, sotong bakar, and udang bakar for 4 persons approximately rm21

After lunch, we went back to our shopping in pasar baru until it closed at 5-ish....

Our avanza was already full with our stuff at the back. Imagine 6 girls shopping in 8 floors of pasar baru. Crazy i tell you... Even after spending about 5 hours in pasar baru, we still feel we didn't get all the stuff we wanted. That was why we intended to go again the second day:) - "banyak barang tertinggal" was our excuse ... hehehehe

***Sorry I didn't take a lot of pictures in pasar baru, too lazy to take out my super-bulky d70 from my backpack. And for FOs, cannot take pictures inside :

Happening Factory Outlet

After getting out from pasar baru, our supir brought us to another place which bandung is famous for, its Factory Outlets. We went to Happening, Summit and Terminal Tas. They have all the branded items at discounted price. But the kiddies clothes, sooooo cute and cheap.... Lana, you gotta go to happening & summit, they have cute tops for little seth! I didn't get many things in the FOs since they already turned off the aircond (maybe because they were closing?). It was hot and stuffy, so I just got cute little tops for little kiddies.

Factory Outlet, nice huh?

Initially our supir wanted to take us to a restaurant, but when we got there it was already closing. All of us decided to go western and went for mcDonalds . We were walkingshopping the whole day, we deserve some big Macs!

Went back to hotel at 10 (11 malaysia), I was already sleepy/headach-y/nauseated by then... But do check out our shopping, it took away my nauseousness.. hahahah...

first day of shopping! Crazy kan? it's like we were deprived from shopping for a year!

yummy soap

I've got few pictures in my camera that I haven't transfer to my pc. Too lazy eh...

But I've got this in my mailbox.



Alaaaa...the soaps look yummy-lah..! And I found out they have cappuccino & vanilla flavor too! Hmmm, can soap's fragrance be called flavor?

Here's description from the website:

Cappuccino & Vanilla Soap

"This 4 oz cappuccino bar will give you a morning boost, and help you start your day off feeling energized. The bottom layer is coffee scented and full of ground espresso beans and brown sugar to help scrub away your dry flaky skin without the oily residue. It will leave your skin feeling fresh and clean. The top "frothy" layer has a subtle vanilla scent and a rich creamy lather. This bar is perfect on a busy morning when you don't have a lot of time but still want the super soft feel you get from exfoliating."

Steal (not splurges ok...)

I iz having writers' block... But I have to write more to gain more popularity and get more advert offer! Note to all, all payperp*st will be tagged as "general". How do I get more advert offer? Josie said, I have to be patient, but mmmm being a taurus, we just can't wait! It's all about instant gratification. Eheheheh...

I know I shouldn't have shopped at all this month since I need to have budget for my upcoming trip. But women and shopping mmmm can they be separated? Erkkk..

So here are some my latest steal...

A single cream/offwhite padded pillowcase from whimsy fabric. This might be better suited if I've got a white bed white with white chest drawer in my room. Remind to self, I've got to paint my room red this year! This is a waaaay long overdue project of mine.Finally my comfy sandal search is over when I got this. This would be perfect as my beach sandal/travel sandal and lazy sandal. It's super-comfy and yet stylish at the same time.


I have obsession over red things nowadays... After I've got my red patent bag last year, I'm looking to add red into my collection. So, I got a red Envirosax bag as my groceries aka shopping bag. It can be rolled to a small roll, and just toss it in my handbag. Mmmm, I don't know if I want to bring this to pasar, and put all the sayur inside tho... Too sayang, eheheh...
Finally... went cloth diaper shopping in various colors and fabric for little nieces (supporting the go-green and frugal project)

Work-talk:-
Would you rather do many-many simple tasks in the office such as copying from one-cell to another cell and putting decimals on hundreds of files which could take days or ONE challenging project? Maybe people never get enough, too-much-work complain busy then when too-little-work also complain boring. Then how? Article from the star, "When good people leave" states that clever executives want challenges which could drive them to excellence because a little flaw that they have is they get bored easily. So it depends on how bosses get the best out of their employees. When you expect your staff to do the same thing year after year with "no escape clause", they will leave no matter what you pay. Market will bear the cost of excellent...

Dream-talk:-
Whenever I think or worry too much about something, somehow that dilemma chased me in my sleep. Surprisingly I get free-therapy in my dream while americans are paying hundreds for an hour talk-therapy. Well not that I remembered my dream much...

Daily-Planner-talk:-
I've become sooo lazy to go out nowadays, I just want to stay at home and curl in bed. Sometimes I have to schedule (see how un-fun this seems) drinks/outings/exercise in my daily planner. I'd rather stay at parent's home during weekends brushing up my domestic sleeping skills. During graduation dinner, they had a guessing game where the juniors would give a description of a senior and everybody had to guess. And guess what my description was? Person A:"Hey, are you free this weekend?" Guess-Who(me): "I'm not sure, I have to check my planner first". Obsessive? Not at that stage yet. Eheheh... Reminder: yoga class is in today's daily planner

Ceh... Writer's block konon, didn't realize this post could be this long :D
