Her Pandora’s Box

Dear sugarplum fairy,

I love life. At present (at which i promise you by month end, i’ll prolly be in deep shit all over again).

I haven’t the slightest clue where to begin thus will kill all complex concepts and start chronologically.

5th Jan, last week.

That tiny surprise i had planned for my cousin is definitely an understatement. It was micro, really. So i phoned her to come over at 8 that night and prepared an italian dinner. Almost. Well, it wasn’t all that fancy. I made seafood pasta cooked in cheese and herbs served with baked butter-chicken and a broth as a side. That was pretty much it. And so she turns a year older.

6th Jan, day after.

My last weekend before the return of the non-existent psychomonster called: School. I’ve decided to do myself a favour and ensured a fruitful weekend before slipping back into the reality of the artform that i embrace, which without a doubt, includes endless physical pain and emotional torment. I gathered my favourite girls (samantha, audrey & sally) and went tanning all afternoon. It was so blissfully chic and ridiculously fun!

8th Jan, first day of school

The morning air was stiff yet strangely chilly for a reason i knew too well. My over-mixed feelings that morning was almost poison, i made a few attempts to vomit (and failed) and relax. I went to school and by noon, as though a mad sudden turn of events just occured, i was extensively enjoying my first day at school. Unbelievable.

Weekend

(the brit-skater cousin and same ol’ preppy me)

By weekend, i was already getting comfortable in the very gorgeous The Legend Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. It was our family vacation. We pretty much had a suite on the 28th floor and the city’s skyline by night was a beau, i was totally digging it. Shopping in KL, is self-explainary. Duh.

My best buy: A pink, oh-so-vintage, ACDC t-shirt!

Cafe Del Mar is opening this Friday and i’ve invites to the opening party!

BEASTIE BOYS ARE COMING! BEASTIE BOYS ARE COMING!

Dear sugarplum fairy,

New year’s eve wasn’t as fancy this year as it was a year ago. But the twist to it is that this year, for the first time, i get to spend it with: my Muhammad Yasin. We settled for dinner and movie marathon till the break of dawn. Simple, laid-back, mega-fun! Apart from it all, it was SPECIAL. Away from drunkies, loud music and random molests, i stayed in, snuggled up to the boyfriend and watched some kick-ass horror flicks. What could beat that!

Happy New Year everyone! Though a little late and the hype’s probably died on all of us by now.

Sam is back in SG! She arrived yesterday and i’m so excited to see her tomorrow. We’re having supper at our usual haunt. I miss her and i’m so glad she’s back. I love you, sammy!

2007 must probably be some violent adventure because i’ve already got a list of things planned to jumpstart the new year and other plans laid out for the rest of the year.

In mid-year, The Ultimates are going to Bangkok to shop and if all goes well, i’m celebrating Christmas this year with Chrystelle back in Perth! And sadly, the masterplan’s failed. I’m not going to Canada for Summer School this summer. Oh well.

Some pictures from Leo’s wedding:

(I like this picture, i look skinny!)

School resumes on Monday = the start of my love/hate affair with it.

Attention:

Happy Birthday Narayumi Higashikuni. The cousin like no other. The only one person on Earth who’d hand me 50bucks for no reason and say "go get your mani and pedicure." The only person who’d loan me heaps of cash and asks no questions. She’ll splurge dinner, coffee, cash, time and everything else on me. She’s spoilt me rotten and she listens, and listens and listens. We’re years apart. Six whole years apart but on many Fridays we sit to talk like all girlfriends do. She’s never judged me. Never disapproves. Never questions. To think of it, that makes her the one and only human being as such, whose blood runs in mine. Your love for me is most impressive. Nothing, would be enough to tell you, you’re the greatest. And fuck your moodswings, i love you!

A tiny surprise for her tomorrow, supper with Sam, slumber party at Drey’s. I love tomorrow!
