Major excitement.

MAJOR EXCITEMENT.

This has got to be like the most excitement filled day of my life. I'm going to buy shoes tomorrow! Shoes, plural. Woohoo! These 2 super-gorgeous pairs. One's black and pink heeled slippers from Voir and the other's white and clear peep-toe sling-back platforms from Vincci. So fierce. All for a total of only B$30. God, I love shopping in Malaysia!

I'm also going to buy my new mobile phone tomorrow! Hehe. Yay! I can't wait. I'm so in love with that phone. It's like... my dream phone. Like, literally, I even had a dream about it. Lulz. It's hard to find such a functionally perfect phone, and pink too! Like a match made in heaven, me and it. *jumps around happily* I can't wait for tomorrow.

Also, PMB exam results are coming out on Monday!!! Oh my God!! Meeps. I'm so scared + excited + nervous at the same time. I'm going totally nuts here. So many things happening. I'm so not going to be able to sleep at all tonight and tomorrow night. xD

Oh, I was reading an issue of Seventeen magazine Malaysia the other day. It's really cleaned up it's act. It's finally got itself clued in to the whole eco/environmental thing, which is great. It's a lot more like the American one now.

It also introduced me to Malaysian online clothes shopping which is like... a dream. Shopping without ever having to leave your home! Although some of the fun of shopping lies in walking for hours, carrying around tuns of huge shopping bags, and cramming into stores to wrestle among other people for the stuff you want :P

I kinda need to paint my nails. I'm going for black and white. I already did one coat last night but I've been too lazy to bring myself to paint the second coat. Meh. Tomorrow lah. I'm sure I'll wake up early 'cause I'm too excited anyway. I also need to give myself a pedicure so my feet'll look hawt in my new shoes. xD

I'm trying to decide what shampoo I should use for this grey-period between having straight hair but no more of my Wella Professionals BioTouch straight shampoo and getting my hair curled and needing curly hair shampoo. I'm thinking either Tresemme Salon Silk or Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight...

Oh, by the way, I wasn't in the mood to blog this two days ago but... Happy birthday, Ashee!! I hope it was a good one and remember to come back to Brunei to visit us someday :)

Anyway, I'll be off now to bounce off the walls in excitement by myself. Pictures of all the new stuff will be up by Monday. Adios, everyone.


P/S: I'm going to watch Twilight with my sister tomorrow at Queensbay Mall ^^ I wonder if it'll be nice...

The Jared shoe.

THE JARED SHOE.

So, there’s a small feature on 30 Seconds To Mars in the December issue of the AstroView magazine under the Music section. It’s a little column with a band photo for the MTV Top 100 Hits of 2008 thingy. Interesting things they mentioned. See it here.

Me and Mun begila BubbleTalk with each other. Very nothing better to do one. Talking nonsense as usual. And I got my CallerTune yesterday. I ended up settling for The Fantasy, although now I think I might get A Beautiful Lie too. Just for fun ;)

Oh bleh, there was this giant lizard in my kitchen sink that wouldn’t move. I couldn’t even wash the dishes. I don't know why I don't like lizards. They're so big and fat and slimy... *shudders*

Imma go line up 1825463 song and movie downloads. Might as well take advantage of this speedy internet while I’ve got it. And I'm enjoying my speakers... I haven't listened to music from speakers for a long time since my speakers in Brunei went bust :(
And it’s high time I downloaded and watched ABL 2.0 from start to end.

Ahh, Bolt’s opening in cinemas tomorrow and I wanna watch. But no one to go watch with. Sigh. I wonder when it's premiering in Brunei...

Gah! My stupid iPod is giving me problems as usual. It won’t connect properly to my PC. For some reason my PC can’t detect that it’s there. I knew I should’ve had it looked at before the warranty expired. Darn.

(Disclaimer: You don’t have to read this bit if you don’t want to.)
And oh, I realized I never told the story of the Jared shoes. It’s… pretty bizarre. First, let me introduce you to what we call the Jared shoe.
So, I was at the LCCT airport in KL yesterday, and at the check-in line there was this guy behind me in the line and I’m looking at him because, well, I’m a starer, okay, I admit it. He’s Malay, I think. Obviously a rock music fan.
And my eyes travelled down, down, and then blam! The shoes. He was wearing the Jared shoes! My first impulse thought was to take a picture of it. It’s the very first time I’d ever seen someone wearing the exact shoe.
I was so shocked and stunned and all that. And pretty excited to see it in the flesh, other than at the shoe store. His were really white and clean, except for the suede bit. A stark difference compared to, well, Jared’s dirty, scuffed shoes.
So, I stare at them a bit more and then I leave. I’m still on a bit of a high and I wonder if I should go back and find him and take a picture of his shoes. Then I figured that’d be a kinda weird thing to do. So, no. I get over it and move on. Just with the notion that I now really, really want those shoes, as opposed to before, which was just one really.
Then, and this is the best part, get this: At the bag screening place in the domestic departures area, I suddenly notice that the guy standing in front of me is, you guessed it, also wearing the Jared shoes! I couldn’t help but just stare with my mouth open. His were dirtier than the other guy’s.
But anyway, I couldn’t believe. Two different people, both wearing the Jared shoes, in the same building on the same day. I just had a total field day. Needless to say, I was a very happy camper when I boarded my plane a little while later.

And oh, by the way, happy 15th birthday Molly! :)

Now I’m off to continue browsing iPod skins. I’m thinking of buying two — one 30 Seconds To Mars Mithra one, and another one… maybe pink or something.
*floats away happily*


P/S: My MSN's working, yay!

Touchdown.

TOUCHDOWN.

I arrived in Penang today :)

The flight from KL was faster than usual. I was listening to S/T on my iPod when it took off and I only managed to finish Echelon before the dude told me to turn it off for landing. That's 6 songs, by the way, for those of you who don't know.

So yeah, I'm back at home with my darling internet now. *hugs it* Except my stupid MSN won't sign me in! I feel like killing it. So right now I'm dashing between my computer and my dad's laptop. His MSN, on the other hand, does work. *annoyed*

I haven't done much since I came back. I ate KFC Cheesy Meltz yesterday and McDonald's Chicken McNuggets today for the first time in a long time. Like, yum. They don't sell 'em in Brunei. Now I want like, Dunkin' Donuts and Auntie Anne's. Mmm...

Oh, I haven't posted anything about Speech Day, huh? Well, it was boring, as expected. Miss Jane made her 1st speech as principal. She only took 20 mins, thank God. An extremely wonderful improvement over Mr Chin's 45 min speeches. They were fun though, the way everyone always started clapping to try to get him to stop talking...

Err... what?

Angels and Airwaves are playing a concert in Singapore on Dec 7th... Mattiee But I don't have anyone to go with (*gives Jai death stare*... xD). *pouts* So yeah, not gonna be happening. Oh well, the thought of seeing Matt was nice while it lasted. I even kinda like the band. Tiny-talks-a-lot. xD

Anyway, I'm off to go and get myself a 30 Seconds To Mars CallerTune for my phone. It's a throwdown between A Beautiful Lie and The Fantasy...
It also happens to be time for a very late dinner. Um, kolo mee anyone?
And I also gotta restart my wacked-up computer. Sigh.
