Jumper

No i'm not talking about sweaters ok???

I saw Jumper today...
as dorky as i may sound, i find Hayden Christensen most good-looking in this movie. I'm so sorry i wasn't really fond of him or his acting in Star Wars. but after i saw Jumper, he's perhaps one of the finest actor on the planet.
there's a little spoof in the movie or perhaps i missed the part when Griffin introduced his name to David. Because they were teleporting about and suddenly, David calls him Griffin... ??
anyway, its a good movie. although has a little bad influence. after watching it, it makes u just want to teleport everywhere and dont want to walk...
a must see... i love the special FX particularly...

Dear CaCa Cabana n her JuaN...


I’ve known the bride for approximately 10 years now. As years passed, our friendship grew and grew, with several petty fights and boyfriends along the way; it blossomed into something I’d like to call sisterhood.

The first time I saw them together, I suddenly notice how love can change women’s taste in men. Faiza used to drool over men like Josh Hartnett or Kimi Raikonnen. (Sorry, Faiza… I really have to reveal this)… and Awan is definitely someone they’re definitely not – someone who loves her for who she is. Faiza is an independent, bright young woman, whom I can see surviving on her own… she can live without Awan, most definitely… but however, she chose not too because she wants to be able to come home to someone. And in this case, she has chosen Awan.

Finding out that she was to be married soon, I wasn’t actually thrilled. I was pretty sure after this; a lot of people are going to be asking me when I am going to get married. It’s pretty stressful to me, Faiza… thanks to you! No, let me assure you that it wasn’t jealousy that she gets to get married first. It was because those days when we used to slumber-partied, jump on beds, having girl talks over a nice ice-blended coffee, hosting embarrassing birthdays at TGIF was coming to an end. It suddenly occurred to me, as the day of the wedding drew closer, I was going to lose my Caca Cabana… my Cendol.

Sorry, Awan… I’ll never be ready to release Faiza to you but knowing the kind of person you are, despite all other boys she’s been with, you’re the best candidate to complete my best friend’s life. Congratulations to both of you and may Allah bless your marriage with longevity and lots of children! All my love goes to both of you… Muahhhh!

feliz año nuevo!

it means happy new year! or selamat tahun baru (in malay). my resolution this year >>>------> maintain last year's resolution ;] . well, actually i dont have a resolution... when it's time to improve... just improve! why wait till new year? anyway, i wanted to post my spore trip first before i get on with my new year celebration anecdotes.

i went to spore on the 16th dec to 19th dec. with kak umy and adelin. it was spose to be work based but somehow, with 3 single, shopping-crazy girls... get the picture? but still, we did our work... somewhere along the way. we stayed in asphodel inn, located near farrer park mrt. i have to jot this down. i dont care if he ends up reading this blog... but the receptionist who welcomed us was so cute! i thought i was the only one who noticed how cute he was... but as we were out of his earshot, all 3 went, 'he's sssooo cute'. so can u imagine how cute he must be since 3 single girls ended up having a crush on him? we were sneaky enough to find out his name... must i tell u how? it's a sisterhood secret... i've sworn not to tell.

anyway, i bought a pair of black mng pants, cost me 32 SD (rm74) and to my utter disappointment, adelin told me her sister bought the exact same design in Malaysia for rm69! but i regained composure when she told me there was no black... only beige and brown. i got tops from forever21 and dorothy perkins, which i havent seen them yet in any shopping mall in malaysia. so i consider myself lucky. i bought CK euphoria perfume @ lucky plaza... cost me 78SD... when it shoulve cost me rm270 here in malaysia ;) dont ask me about the originality. as long as it's in the same bottle, smells exactly the same and long lasting... and cheap, of course, it's enough for me.also, got a pair of charles n keith sandals. i wanted a pair of black pumps with red soles... couldnt find any :(

kak umy shopped the most throughout our 4day stay. followed by me and adelin. well, between me and adelin, i think adelin won. on the last day, she bought like 3 bags! she's like a bag collector... but we're still amused by how many bags she owns. adelin owns a lomo fish-eye camera... the following photographs courtesy from her. thanks!

a giant is missing a shoe... and umy plans on taking it! (courtesy of adelin's lomo)adelin's magic lomo... at esplanadein front of our hotel... too bad he wasnt there ;)
@ esplanade@ clarke quay... pronounced as clarke 'key' and dont ask me why.
by the way, we made our own bracelets... made with love :D

During the new year's eve outting, since it was 31st of december, baskin robbins is having a 31% on all their ice creams. so i went to get a pint of chocolate mousse royale and cookies n cream. thinking i would finish it when nana and i go for a movie. apparently, there arent any movies that's appealing enough to us so we decided just to have a late dinner. by 10pm, my ice cream had melted. and i didnt want to eat a melted ice cream so i kept it aside and we kept on talking... catching up on each other's lives. so when it's almost midnight, we stood up and... i dont know who should i be angry with... either the paperbag that gave way or me, being too stupid not to notice the paperbag was soaked with melted ice. so the ice cream dropped from half of my height to the ground and it just splattered everywhere! arghhhh! it felt like my rm16+ went down the drain! waaaa...

i guess it was due to me wearing a tshirt that read 'little miss ditzy'. i wasnt really acting like what my tee said so... i guess one disaster was enough to dubbed me little miss ditzy... perhaps little miss spazz was more correct.
but nana and i had fun nevertheless... although the fireworks lasted only 25mins and getting out of the place took 3 bloody hours... we had fun.
with my best friend since i was 10! presenting >>>---> little miss late!
happy new year, peeps! may god bless us with success and prosperity!

Cuti-cuti Malaysia

Chiang Mai ___.
Ok, fine... i didnt actually go on holiday in Msia.
I LOVE travelling but i loathe flying. but i dont deny the beauty of gliding between layers of clouds. above the horizon, the clouds appeared like cotton candies... like u could bounce from one to another. however, when the plane flies through the thickness of the clouds, u find yourself temporarily lost - curious but yet nervous.
Chiang Mai's weather was average 20deg Celcius and that was already unbearable cool for me. initially, the trip was organized for my dad's golf group but somehow each member brought their families. most of the places we visit, our dads were absent. found better entertainment in puttings rather than shopping. nevertheless, mothers were still happy accompanied by the presence of credit cards and Thai bahts...
The hotel we're staying in is called Centara Duang Tawan. it doesnt have the most spectacular view but since you're only there just to sleep in, i guess it's quite okay. i'm always amused by products, which i'm familiar with, in other languages. like thai for instance. so i was rummaging through the snack bar in the room and i saw this small packaging, which i thought were raisins and as i pick it up, it read 'durex'. i laughed my head off. it's funny that the business is legal there but i didnt know they emphasize on the 'safe sex' campaign. well, of course, i put the package back to where it was.
it's best that you visit chiang mai around november or sometime during the full-moon. because they have a full moon festival called the loy krathong. the day when we arrived happened to be that day of celebration but they were still preparing for it. as the night comes, u can see the lights all over the streets and even up in the sky. they lit up this lantern and we make a wish and release it to the sky. the lantern is some sort like a hot-air balloon. so they have hundreds of them in the sky. they look like yellow stars, drifting lazily across. and also, they are fireworks and firecrackers everywhere.
we did more shopping than visiting. there's a night market located very nearby. the market opens everyday from 6pm to 2am! and it stretches out as far as the street goes. and i've never seen so many tourists from so many different countries at one place and everyone was so friendly. we visited the elephant farm, which i find rather amusing since i think it's something that you cant find in other countries. i rode one and i was strapped to seat on it and i still couldnt balance but the trainer was just sitting on its head, without any help from harnesses, only with the support of his knee and the elephant's ears. the elephant show was amazing. it's a must-go.
as much as i love chiang mai and travelling, as the plane descended, i realized i underestimate my own country.
there's no place like home :)))


i took this picture :D that's why i aint in it. got a huge compliment from a nice british lady ;DDD

yum!!!!




TOODLES!!!
