Present-hunting and a guessing game.

So, being the ever-wonderful friend that I am, I traipsed around 1 Utama shopping mall on Friday afternoon, buying birthday presents for my best friend (♥) Munibah, and Little Miss Fun-sized Michee.

1 Utama is really near to Ikano Power Centre, Ikea, The Curve and Tesco, all of which are nearby my sister's condominium in Damansara. Talk about shopping heaven, right? I guess KL has so many people that it doesn't matter how many malls there are within a few km radius.

1 Utama is huge and it took me a while to get my bearings... those touchscreen directories were hella useful. I found Padini Concept Store (my motherland!!!) the first and then searched 2 more floors fruitlessly for Nichii Fashion City and F.O.S. Then I simply gave up and went back to Padini. I am faithful to my motherland!

I camwhored in the bathroom, a lot in the Padini store and in the car and at home. I already showed Munibah what I bought her, a pair of dark pink Jackie O sunglasses (I'm so envious!) but Michee doesn't even know what her present is yet! So I'm gonna let her guess it from the photos :D

And I'm not gonna make it easy either. I'm gonna blur out the item! But I know you'll figure it out. Have fun, Jia Yee Michee! :)

A moment to camwhore in the 1 Utama toilets.

Tried on tons of sunglasses at Vincci Accessories and P&Co Accessories, trying to pick one for Mun.

These are the huge dark pink ones I eventually bought.

Munibah and Jia Yee Michee's presents. (I bet by this first picture you'll already know what it is!)

Trying on their presents... trying to figure out if I'm making the right choice.

Saw this super chio pink sequined clutch purse nearby, exactly like the one I wanted from Forever 21 (refer to wishlist) except cheaper! Only RM31 after discount, which is B$12.50!

Another gorgeous purse I saw! It's pink satin and slightly bigger than the first one. It's only RM29.50 which is a disgusting B$12! (Yeah, I know, not much difference.)

It almost killed me 'cause I just only recently bought a new purse that I don't even like anymore after seeing these! *throws tantrum* I WAAAAANNNTT!!

I was seriously having second thoughts about the shades, wondering if it's more my taste than Mun's, because I love it... :S

Another shot of both the presents.

Saw this is in the pharmacy where I was buying nail polish remover. Anybody need some "man disinfectant"? To get rid of your man or disinfect him if he's germy. Lol!

Anek Joe is a Newcastle United fan, and this is what's stuck on passenger side windshield. First noticed it when I sat there on the wedding day, and found out his friend Kenneth is also a Newcastle United fan (he was driving :D).

I ♥ Padini Concept Store!! Can open in Brunei pweety please??

It's all in one! So true.

Leaving 1 Utama at 7.30 pm when it was starting to get dark. Love Malaysia's extended sunlight hours!

My brother-in-law/sister/blah's condominium from afar.

Hmm, I wonder what's inside!

So Jia Yee Michee, have you figured it out yet...?

Btw, have fun at school tomorrow, guys! I'll miss you. See you all on Wednesday!

P/S: WOOHOOO, I DISCOVERED A WAY TO GET CHINESE ON MY LAPTOP AND FINALLY BE ABLE TO USE PPSTREAM!!! YAAAYY!! I'm such a genius! :D:D Now, not having Chinese on your computer shall no longer stop you from experiencing the full wonders of PPStream, as long as I'm here! Hit me up if you wanna know how ;)

Desperate Housewives season 5 finale :D After this, gonna watch Grey's Anatomy season 6 premiere!

Just a little while longer.

Today's post is gonna be a real quickie, but I'm gonna make it up to you with fun stuff over the next few days! And that's a promise. I'll keep it this time too.

I had 5 drafts waiting to be posted, and this is the one I chose. Unlucky you, eh. Anyway, my mom and dad just left for the airport, which is an hour and a half drive away from my sister's condominium in Damansara. My mom's flying back to Brunei today... alone.

Yep, you read that correctly. I'm not going with her. In a twist of events that I have mixed emotions about, I'm only going back to Brunei on Tuesday! And I'll only be in school by Wednesday. I've got myself a slightly extended holiday!

See, I don't know if I should be sad because I really miss everyone back home and all the fun stuff that's been happening and I can't wait to get back, or happy because I get to miss school and have a few extra days of holiday to kick back and relax. Both have their pros and cons...

Shit, I can't believe I'm turning this into ANOTHER DECISION!! Eff you, stupid prefrontal cortex!

Come back tomorrow for a nice, proper post. You won't be disappointed :)

P/S: I killed a huge fucking cockroach last night!!! I was happily watching Desperate Housewives on PPStream when I saw something scuttle across the kitchen floor. I've killed enough cockroaches to recognize one trying to get away! I leapt up and luckily there's a handy can of Shieldtox right next to the fridge.

The little bugger tried to run and hide for so long but I was eventually victorious!! Sprayed it for so long until whole kitchen stinky then trapped it under a pail for peace of mind. All while scolding it and calling it a stupid bastard! Yeah, I've got issues, so what? Like you don't?

The many faces of Michee Low.

(Michee Low Jia Yee, you should be honoured I named a blog post after you!) I'm sorry I haven't blogged the past few days, I felt really uninspired and PMS got the better of me. But anyway, before I tell you about my dear fun-sized friend, a little update on... who else but me?

I just came back to KL yesterday, by car again. This time with an extra person: my grandma. She wants to see the baby. Well, I guess that makes her a great-grandmother now since my parents are the new grandparents. Oh, halp, I feel old.

The trip was looong, the weather was bad and luckily, my phone battery lasted me the entire time because I charged it before leaving. I listened to music non-stop for 5 hours and the battery only went down by half! I love my Nokia. Then halfway to KL we stopped in Ipoh (Jesnie's hometown!) and my parents ate at the famous "tauge ayam kuewtiao" shop.

I was choosy and went to Kinta City to eat McDonald's. I had McNuggets :D But so annoying the person didn't give me the BBQ nuggets sauce. I hate incompetent counter workers who are slow, not polite and don't know how to give sauces!! I'm very particular okay. Brunei McDonald's is by far the worst ever!!!

Took some photos of scenery and stuff. They're quite useless, just to fill space and 'cause I think blog posts look so much nicer with photos. Also, they'll showcase how bad my phone camera sucks.

The center span on the Penang bridge.

Around 7 pm, getting dark and almost reaching Ipoh for dinner.

Some big weird building near Ipoh... I always thought it kinda looks like a cat.

And now for the much-anticipated highlight of this post! Jia Yee went to Miri a few days ago, and she has this boy cousin right, who she said likes me... and well, I'll let our convo do the talking. She so pandai tried to pretend to be her cousin and chat all kinds of weird things to me!!! But I totally knew it was her!! 'Cause I'm just so smart.

Shit, I left the saved convo in my PC in Penang!! Aiya, dammit! Now there won't be any proof and she'll get away with the crime! And she'll make everyone think I'm lying! You might think Jia Yee is so innocent and all right, but trust me, she's not. She's Micheevil!! Mwahahahaha. Just so you know, I'm the victim here!

I want to buy her a Little Miss Innocent t-shirt, got such thing or not? Or Little Miss Tall? Or Little Miss Cute also can. 'Cause she does a really good job of acting cute! You know what Michee, this should be your birthday post, but it's soooo premature!! By 2 whole months!

But nevermind, I still have the printscreens! And pictures of her on webcam! :D:D I shall triumph after all! Her webcam was very blurry, so forgive me, it isn't my fault.

Behold, the many faces of Michee Low Jia Yee!

I have no idea what's she doing in the corner being so sneaky with her DSLR.

Her cousin comes out of the room and is like taking off his shirt... and then I instantly make the connection!

Me: "I know you're making your own porn!!!" Michee: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Me: "Omg omg soooo naughty!!!!" Michee: "WUIIIIIII NOOOOOOOO." Me: "I tell your mother!!" Michee: "Tell loohhh, I'm so innocent... nothing to be afraid of." Me: "Whatever!! So innocent my butt."

Picking your nose, eh Jia Yee? :D

The signature fixing her fringe move.

Michee: "Why you dancing? We're going to Empire. See who's dancing now!" Me: "OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!!!" Michee: "Oh yes I did." Me: "Micheevil!!!!"

Jia Yee waving bye.

Doing the kawaii dance and her cousin is waving.

Jia Yee blows me a kiss, then says "Give me a kiss bah!"

Jia Yee's expression when I tell her "All this gonna be on my blog tomorrow FYI!!!!!!!!!"

Live long and prosper!

Last but not least, the Empire sleepover was last night! Booo-effing-hooooo!! So depressing. I still really wish I could've gone... it sounded like so much fun :'( I'M CRAVING FOR SLEEPOVERS NOW!!! SOMEBODY PLEASE HEED MY REQUEST! 0=)

P/S: WAAAAAAAHHHHH, I left my glyph rings in my house in Penang!!! SHEEEEETTT!! I only realized it when we reached Ipoh. OMG NOOOOOO, I can't imagine 3 months without my glyph rings... I wear those bloody things everyday!! My finger is gonna feel so naked till December :(:(

P/P/S: Now that I've reached my 5000th hit, I'm resetting my hit counter to show hits that actually do my blog some justice! So from now on, it shall display the number of hits I've gotten since I started blogging again this month.

P/P/P/S: I'm spilling the beans: MARIA'S OFFICIALLY BACK IN THE BLOGGING WORLD!!!
