roses are red, violets are blue..

yesterday i braved one utama after being in confinement for the past two weeks. onfinement because ive been coughing and have horrible flu and occasional high fever, so my usual routine is to work, and back home straight after. no usual rendevous to dinners and suppers with friends, no quick stops to the malls to get something or to window shop, and hardly any meet ups with the babes.

but yesterday, i was sick and tired of being at home, watching channel AFC non stop, which doesnt really make me any better cook, just makes me more depressed how easy it is to cook things i like in uk or in us, like in the case of my attempt to make nigella's famous chocolate pudding - will blog about this later :). i think even my mom got sick of watching me slumping on the sofa with the remote permanently glued to my hand. my mom knows her daughter well and she knows im hardly the kind to spend more than an hour on the idiot box as there's always things to do and people to see. before she always nags me for going out all the time, yesterday she actually nag at me for being at home to much. haha. such is the irony.

so i got up from the sofa, after chef at home finished cooking, and took a shower and got dressed. i put on my jeans for the first time in two weeks and waddayaknow, its pretty loose! a quick check on the scales shows that ive actually lost 3 kilos! i shud lounge on the sofa more often haha. no lah, i think its due to the fact that being sick makes one lose one's appetite and ive been steadily living on a diet of water, soup and tuna sandwhiches for the past two weeks. sure can easily gain this back within a week huhu.

neways, by the time im ready, it was quarter to 6pm, i informed my mom im going out and that i will be home late. like really late. she just nodded. yikes. thats a first. that just goes to show how bad she wants me to go out already.

i decided not to call any of the babes. cos, first, they all live over kl side, and im ever so lazy to drive all the way there, wishing sometimes i have someone close this side of the town, and second, im not exactly sure what i want to do and with my mood swings like this, i know it will annoy some people so rather not risk that, i'd better go out alone.

one utama was, as usual jam packed with peeps. and is it just me, or there's more foreigners here more than before? pak arab and blacks are quite common, but now there are more white foreigners you know. weird.

anyway, by the time im done in one utama it was raining cats and dogs. i decided to get out anyway and had a moment of "aloneness" when i was queing to pay the parking ticket. as usual, its the guys who will be queing and in front of me were like 3 guys. upon discovering the machine only accepts coins, they all turned to their respective other halfs and called out to them, "sayang", "honey" .."darling" asking for coins where the ladies immediately pops out the coin purses for the said coins. i dont know of any women who doesnt carry coin purses. ok, i do, me. :p. anyway, was suddenly feeling sad and melancholic after witnessing that moment whereas i, having no one to turned to, just forays in my bag and found the coins lumped at the bottom of my handbag. note to self : get a coin purse. note to self 2 : next time use touch and go. :p

i was in and out of one utama in less than two hours and realise that the night is still young! hmm. but what else to do and where else to go. i refuse to go home so early, i refuse i refuse! even though im already bored to death of the malls.

i went to subang parade instead. :)

i decided to buy the things ive been listing to buy for ages but never got around to. ok, dont ask why i didnt get them in one utama just now ok, i told u my mood swings are weird. so i bought the squash balls, two of them, the other day we lost one to the ceiling fans :p. new rubber for the handle for my favourite squash racquet, i have three, but i only like to use one. dunno why i got the other two in the first place. i fixed my glasses, bought new contact lenses. searched for ipanema sandals but they dont have any. bought a top in dorothy perkins and finally lastly, i bought a pair of shoes. a lovely orange leather pumps. :) my most extravagant spending of the night!

and i went home at a reasonable hour of 9.30pm.

9.30pm!!

my life is so sad.

so how was your weekend? :)
