the time to reminisce about last year

ok, 2be honest, dis entry wont exactly b abt me reminiscing last year's event. Bt its somewht an attempt to do so. I ws trying 2post an entry ystrday, d 25th of April, bcz it ws my 1st year wedding anniversary. unfortunately, my bb wsnt in d mood of cooperating. hence, i had 2delay it till 2day, which i felt will defeat d purpose of me writing abt my so called anniversary cz its d day after. Anyway, so as 2please an annoyed pregnant woman, please read dis as if i wrote it on dat day itself..

today is my 1st year wedding anniversary (yeay!). i have 2admit, sometime ago whn dat female singer who-went-all-d-way-2royal-albert-hall-2hold-a-concert (u do knw who she is rite?) celebrated her 1st wedding anniversary, i ws a bit flabbergasted. i mean; hello? 1st year? cld u b more serious? some ppl lasts till like 40th year n more, n they dont even celebrate or publish it in d newspaper. i mean, wht did u try 2accomplish here? bt then, it ws my turn.. (no, i did not publish in d newspaper or have a mega-celebration). since soulmate received his bday pressie dat he loved so much frm urs truly; he kept on asking me wht 2get me 4our anniversary. (to wait till my bday will take so long, cz its nearly @d end of d year). bt i then decided, i dont want any pressie; save d money 4d baby.. tetapi.. bila tiba waktu ke anniversary yg semakin hmpir, mak buyung telah request perkara yg semakin kerap di-request olehnye.. which is : makan! yes, yes.. so dis entry wont exactly b about d anniversary saja, malahan tentang tembolok mak buyung yg smkin mjadi2 kehendaknya..

so, pd sehari sblm kejadian (anniversary) mak buyung telah mengajak soulmate mkn2 di restoran rebung chef ismail d bgsar. (occasionally, whn i hv i'tnl visitors, i'll take them there 4lunch, so they can get a taste of Malaysian delicacies. n its always been one of my favourite restaurants). tba2 telah mdpt idea jugak utk mkn bsama sefamily, krn mngenangkan, pd thn lps, sefamily itu telah disusahkan dlm perkara2 bkaitan wedding, mlhn smp ada di antara mereka yg jatuh sakit krn bhempas pulas smsa majlis kahwin tsebut. utk itu, satu arrangement telah dibuat utk bjumpa di rebung dan mkn2 shingga perut kembong (almaklum, its buffet dinner = eat all u can bebeh! reason yg ckup kuat buat mak buyung suka klu mkn situ). jd ini le sdikit gmbr2 dr bb, courtesy of my sis; awien n my twin; meme.

pic 1 : ni abah saya dan anak ksygn beliau.. anak kesayangan dia tu mmg wajar di bawa ke majlis2 berunsurkan buffet. cnfirm berbaloi sbb dia mmg seorang atlit mkn. saya pn dh mcm dia skang.. (gulp!)

pic 2 : bkn, org yg tinggi tu bkn tgh mengigau.. dia abg ipar saya yg 'terlebih sudah' nyanyi smp 3 lagu bila chef ismail ajak nyanyi skali. dia akhirnya turun dr pentas bila kembar saya; meme; soh turun.. hmpir2 kami tdo situ klu dia tak turun stage.

pic 3 : peminat setia penyanyi jemputan adlh yg pki bj pink smp naik atas kerusi tu.. nama dia yana tisya (bukan nama sebenar). mgkin, dia pn risau, abah dia tak turun2 pentas sejak mula menyanyi.. yg mngadap blackberry itu adlh pesakit pd tahun lalu krn sibuk bkerja wktu majlis kahwin (sakit apa tak ble bgtau.. tp bkn setakat skt pinggang) ehehe! thn ni, dia dpt mkn free.

Pic 4 : yg menjelir lidah ni kembar saya; meme (bukan nama sebenar). tak pasti knp dia buat aksi ni.. mgkin ada kaitan dgn lagu yg bkumandang. yg sblh dia tu adik saya lg sorg, yg suka amik gmbr diri sendiri dan post kt fb.. (ehehe!!) saya dan soulmate adlh sdg menjamu selera tanpa mhiraukan kamera..

oklah.. nk tulis panjang lg, tp terlambat la.. ni dh nk time blk (kantoi update blog time keja).. nk kena blk cepat.. dapur dh lama tak berasap (bukan kerana takde gas).. hr ni ada tanda2 pelik bhw dapur itu akan berfungsi spt sedia kala. insyaALLAH.. btw, next post akan mbawa bukti2 mengapa dapur tidak berasap.. ok, ta ti tu!

the updates..

mak aih.. one month tak update blog.. its becoming a habit of me to jz tgk je blog ni, tp tak update.. punye la malas.. tu tak masuk nk muntah lg.. but now, im officially back to becoming a normal human being.. (harap2 nye btol la).. sbb sudah semakin pulih dr mabuk2 and im currently building up my appetite dan perut adalah sedikit muncit dr kebiasaan.. kadang ngeri juga nengok.. tp mmndgkn mmg akan lbh besar dr ini, jd sedang menyaipkan diri dgn psediaan mental bila bdn nnt mbelon.. well.. im on my way 2 my 4th month now.. skejap je dh 4 bulan..

owh ye.. selingan.. for soulmate's bday dis coming thursday, i bought him a man utd jersey from United Direct. unbelievable.. skjp je dh smp.. hr sbtu lps, dsebabkan bj tu ada return policy within certain days, i had to give soulmate hadiah nye lebih awal. (daymn.. spoil d surprise le kan?) mslhnye, tkut baju salah size, (ye, soulmate nye weight mmg haywire.. org lain preggy, org lain yg mbesar bgai johan..) tu psl kena soh dia try jugak supaya smpat return blk klu2 silap. tp lega la.. bj nye size yg tepat dan he likes d 'rooney 10' kt blkg jersey tu! lucky! cz i ws a bit confused.. nk letak nama dia ke, nama rooney.. rupanya, dia mmg tak nak letak nama dia! and tanpa berlengah lg, soulmate telah merasmikan jersey tu whn we went 2 mv dat day! sungguh bbangga!

speaking of MV, anyway, dat ws d 1st time i went 2 d mall smnjak preggy.. slama ni asik kelembikkan, tak sanggup gi mana2 pn.. nk beli brg rumah kt giant pn soulmate kena gi sorg sbb i cant stand d smell kt giant tu. ada food court, so bau campuran suma mknn tu mmg mengundang nausea.. bila dpt gi MV mcm org normal, (malahan mkn di food junction lg tu!!! hebat nye!) terus jd sedikit frenzy.. since i've been promising myself utk beli comfy shoes, bpusing le kami di skitar MV cr kasut ibu mengandung.. tp suma rupa aunty2, jd akhirnya tringat nk nengok Ipanema.. and yes! ive found myself a good 2pairs of flops yg sgt2 selesa n cute! (yes peeps, your eyes didnt fool u, 2 pairs.. punya la hampeh.. terus beli dua pasal takut susah nk kuar lg!) ok la.. i've 2gv my crdt 2 my twin who suggested it. sbb pnah post kt FB abt me wanting 2 find a gud pair of shoes 4 preggy mom. ramai yg suggest mcm2 jenis.. bt Ipanema won n i heart gisele bunchen 4coming up with Ipanema.. she might hv other target 'audience' 4 her products, but preggy mom shld get it as well!

n kejayaan lain adalah mcari seluar jerut di jusco. maklumla, seluar jeans dh tak boleh dipakai.. seluar yg ada ni smakin mduga keselesaan perut.. jd, prlu cr seluar yg sesuai.. since i won myself a jusco voucher 4winning some bowling tournament kt ofc, jd nye dpt le beli seluar tanpa bayar! yippie! nnt nk pki g ofc sbb kain bj kurung dh takle kancing.. setakat ni cuma zip saja. sungguh berani kn? kalo le tpijak ke, ttarik ke, pstu keaiban blaku, mmg bhenti keja terus!

neway.. minggu lg satu, along (kakak ipar ku) kawen.. tak silap, kena jd pengapit. ye.. mak buyung mengapit.. insyaALLAH dorg dpt berkat dr pengapit ke.. wahaha! nmpknye, minggu ni kena lari sekejap mcari baju nk pakai.. hrp2 ada la bju yg sesuai. kalo takde, mmg padan muka sbb last minit br nk cari.. ok la.. nk cr idea nk wt surprise kt soulmate utk bday nye.. hmpeh btol, hadiah yg mmg dia tunggu2 sudah tpaksa bg awal2.. skang apa ku nk buat utk bday dia?!

the trip to geneva

corny isnt it? i mean d fact dat it ws a week ago n i made it sound as if its some 'bsuka-ria holiday' trip, whn in truth its far frm it, bt more of a work / business trip. =)

neway, im gonna yack abt my geneva trip. ya, go on n yawn! its boring. bt s much s i hate d fact dat i had 2work whn i ws thr, bt im glad dat i hd d chance 2step my foot in anothr country without hvg 2pay 4it. ehehe! so, as @now, d continent ive never been to is d one across d pacific ocean (considering dat d nx meeting in 2011 is go'g 2b in mexico, lets make a wish! *hint! hint!) n africa.. hmm.. eh.. apa da?? berangan byk sgt!

ok, it ws n 8days trip including trvlg time. basically it ws an all day meeting 4 4days straight. we (around 30of us) arrived on monday morning n hd a chance 4a city tour aftr we checked in 2 our hotel. its geneva, not much 2c though. d famous Jet d' Eau wsnt workg (yep, they'l close it whn temperature's below 2deg), n d flower clock ws rite @d road side. othr than d spooky (but gorgeous) building structures, d only consolation is d fact dat i got 2go n see d one plc ive longed 2work @, d UN's building..

overjoyed me 2hv finally reached here. i wish my ofc is inside d building, somewhr.. i dont even mind if its a small cubicle.. *sigh!

overlookg lake (more d size of n ocean) geneva

then, days after dat ws spent coming in n out of meetings! no more fun! bt gud thg abt it ws dat i got 2meet those ppl who ive been contactg with bt hv never met in person b4. since i do all d liaising, i ws glad 2finally got a chance 2meet d real person ive been talkg on d phone with n emailing 4some gud laugh with.. n @times i do felt some weird feeling of b'g rejected by some stoopyd ppl who judge u 4b'g Asian n Muslim specifically. i thought such Asian / Muslim discrimination ws jz a misconception. since im wear'g head scarf, n our grp r somewht 'colored' ppl, we did experience minor 'mistreatment' @d airport during custom checks n i also felt some discomforting feeling of b'g ignored by a few ppl who i also had a chance 2liaise with b4 (in frenly manner), only they turned out 'cold' in person. so uncanny!

work mode.. got dat complimentary conference bag

posing 4d camera..

switzerland is famous 4 their watches, cuckoo clock, swiss knife n non other than, choc! during 1 of those days, we got a chance 2go n visit a choc factory nearby our hotel. whn we reached thr, we thought they were lying. i mean, it ws more of a cafe, doesnt look like a factory literally.. we almost left d cafe whn some1 invited us 2d back of d cafe n it reli ws a choc factory.. not d willy-wonka-like choc factory though.. it ws only a small one, bt 4some1 who dont like choc, yours truly ws a bit too happy 2go in! clad in an outrageous look'g outfit they gave us 4'protection', it finally made sense 2us dat d plastic poncho-like gear ws 4those who went extra excited tasting d chocs dat they didnt realize it ws dripping 2 their shirt!

i, myself couldnt believe dat i looked dis happy 4some1 who dont like choc.. d cup im holdg ws a creamy liquid choc dat some ppl without realizing smeared their factory gear with while tasting it.. hillarious adult behaviour

some choc designs, with Ita

i ws suppose 2accompany my boss 2a meeting on saturday. we tried to get a late evening flight, (saturday) bt thr ws no business class seat available (definitely NOT for me). so we cld only get a flight 2 kl on sunday. d rest of d group went back on saturday morning itself. by then, i ws alredi miss'g home (read : soulmate. ehehe! benornye, ms nk boarding lg dh rindu!) whn we found out on friday tht d saturday morning meeting ws 2b held aftr d friday event, rasa nk hentak2 kaki je.. nk tukar flight mmg tak dpt la. dh mmg ada event pn kt geneva, flight out mmg full saje. nk msuk waiting list pn tak le. bilik pn dh byr utk sbtu mlm, nk tak nak.,tetap le kena stay smp ahad. jd nye, apakah aktiviti yg patut? ye betul!! bersuka ria mcm holiday le! wht's good is dat, bile dok kt hotel in geneva, kite dpt a pass yg entitle kite utk free usage of public transport in d city.

since using public transport is so very convenient kt geneva, sgt le sesuai nk bjln! kalo la kt msia ni pub transport tip top cm kt situ, confirm la traffic jem tu tak de dlm kamus hidup rkyat msia! its a living proof weh! kt busstop dorg siap ada screen, kite ble tau lg brp minit bas nk smp. ye la, mcm kt komuter station kite, tp biasanye, kt komuter station kite tu dh set cmtu, konon lg 2minit komuter smp, siap blinking lg, tp komuter nye tak nmpk bayang pn.. kt geneva, mcm ada link lak bas ngn screen bus stop. its as if mcm dorg ada device yg ble detect whr's d bus n @wht time they r reachng n it reli is on time! i tried d train juga. frm airport 2 geneva city then jln kaki blk hotel. it ws early winter, bjalan is advisable.. bpeluh pn tak sempat. kt msia pns terik, mati hidup smula org xnk jln kaki! lain la kt kem herba, byk pokok, tepi sungai, nyaman.. (ececeh! promote kem in-law lak!) in fact, org nk g airport, naik bas n naik train pn mmg sgt2 convenient. its only like 10-15mins away frm city centre. airport kite nun kt hujung dunia. kire kalo tourist smp KLia dorg msti tertipu sbb ingt dorg dh smp KL. pdhal, KL jauh lg.. ehehehe!

sesi bjln-jln dan cuba shop'g wlupn tak bkmmpuan.. euro tu babe.. CHF pn lbh kurg rate USD gak..

ni dpn train station

jln2 lg..

dlm bus yg begitu punctual..

ini le isi paperbag oren dlm gmbr di atas.. ehehehe!

so, sunday pg2 msih smpat bjln2. ingt nk gi sight-seeing, tp dr pg hujan tak bhenti.. owh ye, btw, ms kitorang dtg, d 2nd day tu, sunshine all d way.. bila nk blk, hujan tak henti.. c? hw we bring sunshine 2 geneva smp nk blk bumi geneva tu mandi hujan? chet! perasan tak hengat! flight pn pkul 5.30 ptg ke amsterdam. smp amsterdam, cr magnet fridge lg. my boss asik comment ckp i mbazir beli magnet. tp sbnrnye, mmg i nk kumpul fridge magnet. g mana2 i'l search for it. n mesti nk magnet yg ada tulis nama tpt tu.. mcm 'amsterdam' ke or such. yg gmbr2 or yg jenis lain suma tak minat sgt. jd nye, peti ais kt umah telah ada collection utk tpt2 yg pegi thn ni, dr ms honeymoon, smp le latest g geneva. akhrnye, isnin ptg smp airport, soulmate tlh bawa g mkn kt ikea krn dia tau situ tpt fav dan saya sudah merindui mknn sebenar dek kerana tpaksa mkn maggi spnjg di geneva memandangkan nk cr mknn halal (atau murah) adalah satu cbrn di geneva.. jd dpt la saya mkn shrimp salad dgn hati gumbira! pandai soulmate tersayang! soulmate saya ni mmg star! bukan main2, tp mmg dia yg terbaek! esok nye tu telah amik cuti ganti krn penat, dan bila masuk ofc, sungguh tak best keja menimbun! bummer! sekian, terima kasih..

the wheel of fortune?

wow! i seriusly am very much neglecting dis arena of blog-g. not dat i dont wanna rite, i jz hv 2hv ample time 2blog. neway.. ive been a bee dis past few weeks (shall i say month?), since after raya 2b exact.

i initially didnt realize dat i ws on d perimeter of endless workloads until i checked my calendar 2book my flight 2singapore 4a meeting. of course i knw dat i ws suppose 2go 2singapore b4 raya, only then i didnt realize dat it ws so soon aftr my raya break. n thr ws a dinner event i hd 2organise 4a regional committee dat ws hvg a meetg here in KL, since it ws somewht n international (regional) event, d minister obviously hv 2make an appearance. it ws hectic, cnsiderg i dont hv a staff undr me, i hd 2manage on my own. hence, i went 2singapore a week b4 d dinner, bt wishg dat i ws back @d ofc 2sort all d invitations, n mentally do'g all d check lists. nerve wrecking! it went thru smoothly bt i wish dat i had time 2breathe. d same week i ws scheduled 2go 2singapore, my sis in-law, k. Busrah ws admitted 2hosp 4 an operation. i ws hoping dat i cld visit her more than once, bt freak'g workloads didnt permit me 2even go back on time. hated it!

somewhr along d way, i alwiz said dat whn all d bosses hv gone 2 geneva, i'll hv time 4myself. cnsiderg dat i hd 2work even on weekends, i ws somewht lookg 4wd 2november whn d geneva event starts. bt a few days aftr d dinner event, i ws strucked numb whn i ws told dat i hv 2also go 2geneva. dpt g singapore company hntr pn dh ckup bgus. bt geneva? walauwei!! dat ws very last minute cz d arrangements 4 it ws done since end of september. altho i alwiz joked w d bosses abt me go'g with them, bt whn it ws final, i ws a bit apprehensive. n 2leave soulmate 4 8days seems somewht unnatural 4me. i ws not worried abt him, he is sure 2manage on hs own; it ws more myself dat i ws worried of! ngeeehee! (yes, yes, i cried ms dh dkt2 nk gi tu.. soulmate relax je tp.. hmpeh.. tak sensitif btol.. suka kot soulmate?) n since i ws informed only a week b4 d event, it ws a bit stressful, i didnt hv much time 2prepare 4myself. i hd filings 4 d bosses, their schedules 2prepare n sort everythg while i had 2leave own preparation @d last painful minutes!

nw, me go'g 2europe is definitely a far-fetched idea. i cld only wished it bt i didnt realize dat it cld reli come true. of course i alwiz scretly dream of go'g 2OT. bt elsewhr? hmm.. in my dreams! (eh, brp byk dreams da?). yups, some of u dont even hv 2dream of it. pero, para mi? hello? psg angan2 pn dh ckup bagus dh.. d fact dat i didnt like abt d trip ws d enduring journey. haih! kematu le dok dlm flite! we hd 2transit in amsterdam, took us (thr were arnd than 30 of us) more thn 11hours 2 reach thr. aduyai.. smpi hbs batt main psp, tido bgn blk, bc buku crite, ulg alik toilet, pn tak smpi2! i think i've 2post anthr topic on d geneva trip alone. so much 2tell! n i hv pending works waiting 4me.. neway, wht i ws tryg 2tell is d fact dat its ws a very wierd experience. it is expected of me 2 travel cnsiderg its undr my job spec, bt it hs been a vague idea all along cz it neva hpend b4. time blom kawen, takde pn. n i ws alwiz cmplaining ms tu cz i felt wht do my company need n i'nat'l liaison exec 4, if i dont evn get 2trvel, only arrange ppl 2go overseas? i even wrote 2my boss, in my evaluation form, a suggestion 2send me 2i'nt'l meetings. whn it reli hpen, it truly dawn on me dat its real. rezeki dh kawen kot? tp pelik ttp pelik. tu la, careful wht u wish 4, u might jz get it. time dh kawen, nk g memana pn berat hati. sib baik la soulmate ku baik hati mberi keizinan+memahami bini nye prlu travel. k, dh ckup lama curi tulang.. nnt nk upload gmbr kt geneva.. it ws early winter.. so i get 2 make use of my long john n mafella yg dh berabuk psl dh lama tak guna.. ehehe.. soon, i'll post d pics. cant promise its sooner then later..

the buka posa

Its very very nerve wrecking! My hp and my email is giving me a hard time today! Of all days.. today.. whn im gonna be only half day @work, my precious email turns as nasty as my hp! Sweet! I work through emails.. now dat it just refuses to attach a file which ive to send today cz its d last day for me b4 my raya leave; I felt like slamming dis pc very hard n kick it in its shin if it exists!

Anyway.. I am gonna be taking more than a week long holiday for raya starting today afternoon.. im currently eyeing d clock, cz im go’g back in abt half n hour.. I need to clean d r'oof 'first, clear d fridge cz we r go’g balik kampung.. we (soulmate n I) actually did it d other day.. I hd to cook all d veggies so it wont rot in d fridge. D simplest way 2do so is by cooking tom yam, stuff all d veggies in it! Convenient eh? And in also went all d fishballs n our favourite mushrooms..alamak.. lapar la pulak teringat.. first thing im gonna do went i reach home is to mop d floor (my kitchen stinks!), send some stuffs to d laundry n pack for my balik kampung trip. dis year im go'g back 2my kampung in kedah. soulmate decides 4us, he said cz its not easy 4him 2get a long raya holiday. he thinks next year n d years n years aftr, he'll get only a short raya leave, so we might as well go back 2my kampung dis year cz in d next years 2come, he wont expect us 2do so.. well.. im not complaining.. he's driving neway! so, 2day we'll be buka posa-ing @my inlaws again n will drive back to my parents afterwards. 2moro after subuh, we'll go balik kampung.. woohoo!!

neway, im suppose to post d pics of my buka posa with d gals.. (im sorry dal! it took me a few days 2do so.. sungguh bz).. i ws planning 2post d 'then' n 'now' photos of us. bt i cldnt find d photos whn we were in hi-skool (slmt ko dal n ros.. korg yg tak nak sgt akoo letak kan? nnt akoo cari gak..) so, here's d one we took last monday.. we had our 'gath' - partners included, except for shy's - at Restoran Rebung Chef Ismail, Bangsar. (i chosed dis place cz of d food.. i alwiz bring visitors to dis restaurant cz they can taste all d Malaysian kampung delicacies thr. sedap woo..)

Pic 1 : All of us (pics courtesy of Ned)

Pic 2 : (l-r) yann, shy, yours truly, dal, ned n ross

it ws a fun night! i had a blast. soulmate loves d food, we talked n laughed n i had 2leave early. *sigh* nak wt camne, soulmate keja malam.. as shy said, its already 10years aftr we left hi-skool.. sungguh tidak sangka.. neway, we shld do it again sometime.. i think next wedding la, ned's.. hopefully every1 will b thr..

so dats d pics i hv. soulmate snapped a group photo but unfortunately it ws not auto saved 2his phone, so i dont hv our group photo w both d bride+groom. More pics can b found @Nad's blog

the wierd thing abt man n woman

i ws listen'g 2 d radio (HITZ.FM of course) sum time ago n they were debating on 'can man n woman b bestfrens?'. hence, here come dis post. i alwiz wonder y cant a guy n a lady b bestfrens? it'll nva hppen (im not sure if its generally, bt @least 2me, it nva will take plc) even if u could (minimal cases), ppl will start 2 assume differently. they'll say thr's some hanky panky goin' on sumwhr. n im talkg abt real bestfrens. like i'll-get-ur-back bestfren; i'll-b-around-whn-u-need-me bestfren; i'll-be-blunt-honest bestfren; i-can-say-all-abt-d-person-im-hvg-a-crush-w-n-u'll-help-me-2stalk-him bestfren.. u cant get it if u'r frm diff gender.

i've tried.

3times.

didnt work!

1st fren hd a gf, bt dat dont stop him frm b'g jealous if sum1 wants my hp no. 2nd fren tot i ws hv'g a crush on him. 3rd maniac ws a psycho who ws a very immature boy bt thinks he's a macho man dat can snatch me frm soulmate. [thank GOD dat's all in d past, though im still (barely) in touch w no.2, *definitely NOT no.3* bt jz s frens nw]

i told soulmate once, dat whn a gal said 'best frens' they reli do mean best frens. (@least 2me n meme; my twin). thr's dis big line dat d said best fren cant cross, dat is heart feeling. we've 'technically' agreed 2 b best frens, so y cant u b honest? y must u hv some othr freakin intention othr than b'g a fren? soulmate ws thr whn no.3 turned frm fren 2maniac. soulmate said i lead him 2hs b'g. in d end we conclude dat no.3 ws seriusly deluded! bt all im say'g is dat, we woman stick 2our principle - its either best fren or bf. if u were my best fren, no chance in hell cld u b my bf. we drew d line w thick coated paint, layers aftr layers. so stop developing childish crush on us. i've already screamed 2 ur ears how i missed my bf, i love him dearly n i wanna marry him; y do u think u can snatch me frm him? odd isnt it? or myb u'r just plain stupid. yes, myb i invited u 4 drink, or a bowling game, or 2an event; but i dont want 2date u! n in case u didnt notice, i also invited 325 othr frens along! jz bcoz u got my sms reply whn my bf ws too busy n cant entertain me (whn we were dating soulmate alwiz said, 'b practical' whn i wanted his undying attention bt he ws busy), it doesnt mean im already leaving my adorable bf. i ws just bored. get it? bored! not hinting u dat im ditchg my bf, ok??

soulmate also questioned me, hw can i tot dat it cld work out (man + woman b bestfrens). well, frm my shallow knwledge n innocent b'g, of course i initially tot i cld. bcz i trust myself not 2 cross d line. its jz un4tunate dat some ppl dont try not 2cross it. n whn i askd soulmate y does he think it cant work out? his answer ws; "well it can.. provided dat d said best fren is not a gorgeous babe". well, he got a point thr.. (im ending dis post here cz i would like 2 believe im reli a gorgeous babe.. in my dreams!)

the number 8

ok, 8 is not my fav num. i love 11. its been my fav num since i was born! (>.<) i wore num 11 whn i ws in d hockey team, i once had an operation on 11.11.01, @11am (no, im not kidding!), whn soulmate asked on scale of 1 - 10, how much do i love him, my answer's 11. but whn i ws blog hopping (yep, im @my desk @d ofc.
