A series of fortunate events

-- 12 January 2005 --

I am a victim of procrastination. Everytime there's a dinner which requires at the very least, a semi-formal attire, one always prepares all neccessities a few days earlier.
Whereas me....

I had to rush-shop on that very day itself! Huahhuah! The day before, I used my break time, and rushed between eating and browsing for the perfect attire! not to mention i need shoes, makeup, and all that blah sorts!

Many many many many thanks to Rachel Lee for noting that The Curve has many nice clothes which can fit into me puny budget! Yay! Rae you're a life saver!
I drove me miserable self to The Curve that rushy afternoon and loked around for pretty dinner dresses. Saw one in a shop, which sold quite alot of dinner dresses. Tried a green and a pink one. Half way through, Nick called.
Supposed to join him at 1 Utama if I planned to shop at the said place. Opps....he couldn't join, The Curve so far. Taxi farres are getting more expensive. Huhuhu....

Did my shopping alone, was gonna buy the green dress, but decided that there might be other places which offer nicer, cheaper choices. On was Niche Fashion City. Hell yeah the dresses there were nice. And HELL yeah the prices are "nice" as well. Did I mention my budget is puny?

Went out and got a reload card for my phone. Been about almost a month since I reloaded. And it was that long that it had been expired. Went one floor down and saw this shop at a corner. Feel Fashion. Wen inside and inquired about dinner dresses. The sales girl merely pointed at a tiny section at a corner. Browse....prices are above me budget. Then saw one...purple...almost tight-fitting dresses.

Perfect! Nyahaha, the price is rather reasonable too. Tried it on. Was abit low on the upper part...other than that, it's nice! Bought it, and left on a mission for a pair of suitable heels.
Swank offered nice heels. I bought a rather simple white casual-cum-formal heels, which suited the dress nicely. Then went to Watson and bought eyebrow liner, purple nail polish(to match the dress), and debated with myself on whether the get the Maybeline Cover Stick for my face, but then didn't buy it. Was looking for the new Stila Funky Eye Highlights pencil eyeliner/shadow sticks. But it was all sold out at Watson! *sob*

Drove to 1 Utama 1 hour and 30 minutes before the dinner. Should have gone home but....really really wanted the Stila pencil colour thingie....saw Mel, she teman-ed me go Watson and look, but they're sold out as well! Grr....
Then Mel had to go coz her break was over. Me went on to Guardian in hopes that they still have the pencil. Yeap, they did!! New arrival some more!!! XD Tried the pink one on my eye(which JayC later on commented me to be unhygenic--hey, I AM hygenic! gonna wash my face later mah....)
In the end, got the purple one, coz it's the nearest match to my pink-purple outfit.
Later on Jaycee tried the eye highlight pencil on Melissa and me, and hey, it's nice! XD
So so so later wore the eyelight pencil to the dinner. But before that...my dress's strap broke when I was in the rush to get to the car! Ack! Took about 15 minutes to fix it back. I thought it totally broke, but actually it's the strap which unhooked itself. *Phew....thank god!

The dinner was gooooood! I have to say, the organisers have done a really good job! The food rocks! Though I never tasted them all....but they're good, really.
There were many people from otehr intakes as well, even January 2006! I saw one of the girls in Sinma when I was debating on having my hair done there or not(which i didn't).
They did lucky draw a few times, and dang! almost got my number, but missed by one! argh! >_< The first lucky draw, the lucky winners had to dance with each other passionately on the stage(which they refused, but is given the prize anyway...) The second lucky draw, the winners had to eat something which is the combination of certain weird food together. Really disgusting! Reminds me of Fear Factor. :-X The third lucky draw, the winners have to catwalk. But there's a catch;guys have to catwalk the girls' way, and the girls' have to cat walk the guys' way! Heh. Syaril did a short girls' way catwwalk(which he did while shaking his booty) and guys' way catwalk(walks dully) before urging the winners to follow him! Lolx! But the winners were to shy to do it. They got the prizes anyway. The fourth and last lucky draw, i'm not sure what the winners were supposed to do, but the heck with it! I don't care...was really dark and was pissed because my camera's shutter speed and aperture sucked! Argh! My pics are darker than the original thing...oh well.... Then they showed a slide show, a flashback of year 2005. There was something wrong with the pictures as the top half was kinda....blurred outta vision. So there were words we couldn't read properly. =( But overall the slideshow was touching...year 2005 passed so fast before my eyes I could hardly believe it. Now with most of us parting to the country down under and the country with the cleanest water, I'm unsure if we would ever meet again. I really miss the times when we were in class laughing at Miss Leena's jokes and acting stupid in front of her! =P There was a brief dancing session but i forgot which lucky draw it was between... Nevermind...I didn't do any dancing that night...but my dear Computing Studies lecturer did an almost wild dance with her sporting boyfriend! Huah! I managed to get a picture but it was so dark so I didn't know what I was pointing at...lolx! There were other lecturers and some students who danced for awhile. Other than that, the night ended after the slideshow. Stayed back with Neeraa for awhile as she is waiting for her parents to fetch her. There were other of my classmates there, taking memorable pictures of each other, with each other. I took some, but shall not put it here. Nyahaha. After Neeraa went, I went to look for my car. I was searching on floor B1, but after 5 minutes then remembered my car was at floor B2! Malunyer aku.... By the time i reached home, it was about midnight. Late yeah, I changed, and hit the sack.

-- 14 January 2005 --

JayC and Mel asked me if I wanted to join them...shopping! XD My second past time besides being idle at home. So so so...the meeting time at The Curve was 12pm. I was rushing like crazy because I got the green light from my parents at 11.30am! So I had to bath, change, do the neccessary before 11.45am! But being the klutz, i only left my house at 12.05pm!(oops!) Arrived at The Curve at about 12.15...then called Mel. Aikz....found out that she's still at home! What the... The both of them only came at about 12.30! While waiting, I went into Body Shop, and bought this little loofah with a butterfly shape on it...don't know for what but I find it cute. Then walked around outside The Body Shop, and spotted this mini clothes bazaar inside The Curve. Looked around, and saw 2 really cute skirts! XD One was a skirt with the word Roxy printed on it(a fake, no doubt), another is a fashionably crinkly white skirt, which will match really well with a red top I'm going to wear on the first day of CNY. Didn't buy those skirts though, waited until JayC and Mel comes, then we all head off to...the Curve Open Bazaar! They have alot of things on sale there...really nice, but some which don't suit my taste. Alot of "RM10 for 3" earrings stalls available there...really nice earrings but didn't buy any...I have alot I haven't even worn yet! :P After awhile of browsing....realised we kinda lost JayC amongst the customers and sellers....she went ahead of Mel and I. Found her at a bags(?) stall. Haha...went one round and didn't find anything I wanna buy(but they were really nice things! argh! the horror~~! =P) Then after one round around the stalls, wanted to get something to eat and saw this "Winter Warmers Coffee and Tea House" cafe nearby. Very elegant lookin' place we got here eh... Looked at the price. Oh, very elegant prices as well...lolx... Inside... Huah....the place is furnished to taste! XD Elegance play a role i guess....everything from the services to the teacups are of elegance and beauty. Oh wait....so the waiter isn't beautiful....=P Had...hot chocolate and ice cream for meself, JayC had a iced green tea and Mel had.....something.....omg i forgotten! Sorry Mel! Gomen gomen... The hot chocolate is delicious! Actually I already had too much chocolate for the week but the heck with it! Wahaaha! And the ice cream....is just ----> XD
Aahahaah...i think I had sugar rush 'cause I was unusually happy....maybe JayC was right about me having sugar rush...eep! =P

Anyway, after having that short break (shopping hits really hard on me legs....owwww!) walked around abit more outside...then saw this nice little bangles stall. 12 Bangles for RM6. So tempting! But didn't buy....in case i go literally broke later!

Then walked into the inside bazaar of The Curve. Alot of things are going at a cheap price! XD I finally bought that white crinkly skirt, and the Roxy white skirt! XD Yay~ now can match with the tops Mom bought for me last week! =D

Other than that...I also got a new handbag! JayC went like "you need a new bag, dear" and showed me this cute playboy handbag! But it was in pink...I took the white one instead. The pink one was equally nice, but it is going to be hard to match with my outfit. (sorry JayC! >.<)

Went around browsing other stalls, but found nothing of my interest.

After enough browsing, decided to head on home....was pretty late and I promised Mom I will be home early for dinner.

Went to Taman Megah for dinner. That night I had HK style chee cheong fun(so little...), kerang, waffle, chips, ice-cream. Bloated~!
Then walk around the pasar malam. So many nice clothes! I bought some tops...can't find any nice skirts. There were some....but they were 3 times more expensive than my tops sum up together that I didn't buy them.

Bought meself a new long wallet. Roxy leh...but fake la. Can't never ever afford the real thing.
After this round of shopping, I was pretty contented having spent so much money in a day. Come to think of it I've never splurged so much in my life! Eheheh
