I am always, ALWAYS, a day early. No wonder I didn't get any reply. Silly me.

A letter to TomTom

Currently listening to: 紅模仿 by 周杰倫

Dear TomTom...

How have you been? It's been a month since we last chatted. I hope that everything has been going well for you.

Time passes by really quickly don't you think? The year is coming to an end soon. It felt like only yesterday when the year just started. I wonder if it will be the same for next year.

It's weird. On one hand, I can't wait for it to come. On another, I kinda dread it. You once told me that you do not know if you are looking forward to it. Do you still feel the same way?

I would've written to you, but I was convinced that I wouldn't get a reply, based on my personal experience of not getting replies from one other person, despite having written to said person without fail every single week. Although, come to think of it now, you probably would've replied. It would probably be a short one, but a reply nonetheless.

Anyway, a very merry belated christmas to you, and a very happy new year. And in case I don't see you anytime soon, a very happy chinese new year as well.

Take care,
Me

So not cheap

Currently listening to: 蝶变 by 佘诗曼

I keep forgetting that clothes in Malaysia these days cost more than RM50 at least, if not RM100. So much for wanting to buy a heap load of them.

I saw this Calvin Klein puffa jacket today at Sunway Pyramid. It costs RM322. After discount. It's really warm though, and it looked quite nice on me. But 322?

I also saw this NafNaf knitted sweater. RM179. 179 for an almost see-through piece of knitted cloth.

How much clothes am I going to bring with me when I leave, do you think?

Wow-wee

Currently listening to: Scarlet by Iwao Junko from Ayashi no Ceres

I was fascinated by the sound of the rain. I also found it strangely familiar. Then I remembered that I've been listening to it for the past year. I also remembered that I should only be fascinated by the sound of thunder and the sight of lightning.

And so I was. Although I also found it annoyingly irritating because it disrupts my laptop-using and television-watching.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas has come and gone. I don't celebrate Christmas, but I went on my first shopping spree anyway. Not that shopping sprees can only be done if you celebrate Christmas.

Anyways, it wasn't exactly a shopping spree. I only bought a dress and a pair of khakis. But the day before I bought myself another dress. I don't normally wear dresses, but I've always liked them.

I would've bought more had some of the tops and pants and jeans that I had tried had fitted me nicely. I would've bought more had this particular boutique allowed me to try their new arrivals. But no, the tops and the pants and the jeans didn't fit right. And no, the particular boutique told me that I wasn't allowed to try their new arrivals.

It is simply preposterous because I really liked the them. Unfortunately, I am still very much a sensible clothes-buyer. It doesn't matter how much I like the dang piece of clothing. If it doesn't look good on me then too bad. If I can't try it on and see for myself that it looks good on me then too bad too. I'd rather use the money on something else.

I hope they run out of business and close down soon. The particular boutique I mean.

Rain who?

RM752 for a first-class ticket to Rain's concert. You have got to be kidding me.

Year after year

Currently listening to: I'm A Slave 4 U by Britney Spears

Last year, I was looking forward to this year. It helped that I spent the summer in Dunedin, although I don't know why.

This year, at this point, I am not sure if I am looking forward to next year. For one thing, everyone's gone or going away. For another, I think last year's disaster of a year is giving me a phobia of some sort. I remember going back to Dunedin feeling really horrible inside, not about things that have already happened, but things that are waiting to happen. I couldn't have been more right.

Funnily enough, the more I'm writing about this, the more excited I'm feeling about next year. The more determined I am to make it a good year, if not the best.

Always

I really should start writing more. It's not hard. It's just that I always think of something to write at the oddest hours, and then I always decide to delay it, and then I always forget about it. Always. Just like the last time. And this time.

Yoohoo

13th of December. It was THE day. We were quite blessed really, because it was perfect weather when it really mattered. Thank you!

18th of December. Movie Marathon Day. It's been a while since I last had one. I've been watching movies every now and then, but never 4 in a row. It's not too many, but still.

Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribbean? Didn't think so. Well, I do.

And oh, wanna guess where I am right now?

Detoxification for 2 months!

Currently listening to: Nothing

It doesn't matter how much I have drunk. I could be feeling really high from a freaking lot of alcohol and still know exactly what is going on around me. And remember everything the next day with a hangover. Some say that that means I am not drunk enough. Maybe. But then I don't need to be drunk enough. I just need to be high enough to enjoy myself and dance the night away.

By the way, when you have been consuming a lot of alcohol, water suddenly becomes the sweetest drink in the world, and you won't seem to be getting enough of it. Especially when you're feeling hungover.

Up and down

Currently listening to: Buttons by Pussycat Dolls

We drove up to Christchurch at 3 something in the morning on Wednesday and drove back down to Dunedin some 12 hours later. It was a really tiring journey, considering that it was either hard or not appropriate to fall asleep. It was hard because the driver drove so fast that I felt like I was going to be sick. Not appropriate because the driver might fall asleep himself. I know I definitely felt like sleeping when I was behind the wheel.

Curses!

Freaking hell I'm so bored that I'm cursing front and back. Freaking hell indeed!

Click-a-doodle-doo

Currently listening to: Jack Sparrow from Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Click is not a terribly funny movie. In fact, the part that I liked the most is the part where Adam Sandler's character chased after his son in the rain to tell him that family comes first. I liked it because it gave me the feeling that it is never too late for anything. Not even when you're on your last breath. I also liked it because it showed just how much Adam Sandler's children loved him, despite the fact that he didn't do his job as a father very well. Granted, the movie didn't show that he was horrible all the time, but it showed enough.
