There goes my bday...

Today i went to get my camera at FotoShangrila, but alas, they didnt have the black T9 that i wanted, they only have a silver one...so out of desperation, i asked them to reserve one for me and call me whenever one is available...i really adore the cute lil' thing, although it is a lil' pricey as compared to other models with a similar feature...But then again, when something is attractive, it will needa cost a lil' more, rite? Just like me.....LOL....

Some folks are telling me that im selling myself a lil' too high for comfort, that i should tone down a lil' and accept anyone that comes along the way...Truth is, i wont mind a joyride or two, but i aint gonna settle for something that is halfway through my expectation...I needa be...satisfied...


******

Earlier i was having dinner with my family at SanFranSteakHouse@KLCC and then i received this phone call...I had to walk away from the table till a safe distance to answer it...and when i returned to the table, my parents looked at me one kind, suspecting something fishy...and when i took a second such call, they couldnt contain themselves anymore and asked if i was seeing someone...

and as usual, i denied it aggressively and asked them to quit asking bout my relationship...i wont want them to know that i am having a fling with anyone and that nothing serious is going on...

I know im 24, and that i should be going serious with someone already...thing is, im enjoying myself right now and there's no reason why i should be attached to a particular person...they say: explore your options, and that's exactly what im doing now...

So after some wine with my parents, i went to meet a friend who wanted to buy me a couple of drinks because it's my bday...i obliged as i always enjoy FOC drinks when one comes by...

It's all kewl and casual, we talked a lil', drink a lil', flirt a lil', and then i went off to work when the clock striked midnight...yeah, it's a lil' like cinderella...but when ive gotta go, ive gotta go...

Im looking forward to another such date next fri...

Im contented...
EVANESCENCE LYRICS

"My Immortal"

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

ready to go...

John Denver - Leaving On A Jetplane Lyrics

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking it's early morning
The taxi is waiting, he is blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome, I could cry

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for meHold me like you never let me go

I'm leaving on a jetplane,I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go

There is so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go I think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you.
When I come back I wear your wedding-ring


So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for meHold me like you never let me go

I'm leaving on a jetplane,I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go


Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes, and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to comeI wont have to leave alone, and I
wont have to say:


So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for meHold me like you never let me go

I'm leaving on a jetplane,I don't know when I'll be back again.
I'm leaving on a jetplane,I don't know when I'll be back again.
I'm leaving on a jetplane,I don't know when I'll be back again.

Oh babe I hate to go.

O'brien's...and Yoga...

This morning after work (yeah, im on graveyard shift again..), Ed thought he would treat me to a wholesome cum hearty breakfast at O'brien's...It has been a norm for us to frequent this favourite diner of ours whenever we are working on the same shift...he despised working midnight because of the lack of activities and that he had to sacrifce his hangingout with his friends and the irregular working hours disrupt his jogging rituals...

I, on the other hand, do not mind much working in the middle of the night...i mean, i dont particularly adore working this shift, but i really needa escape the morning rush...ive had enough of all this jam in the city, and it gets worse by days...more and more youngsters are driving on the road, well, thanks to all this packages as offered by the road department, one wont have to take a test to obtain a license anymore, will they? Geez, the Malaysian government never failed to make me sick, im very much appalled of how they never practised what they preach...but whatever, im leaving this damn place anyway...

Talking about bad drivers on the road as is much featured by the press nowadays...ive finally came up with a solution...and no, Im not proud of my decision...so pls dont judge...

Ive resorted to practising this motto to curb my annoyance for Malaysian Drivers...

'If you cant beat 'em, join 'em'

Yeah, im more proned to joining the selfish drivers cutting in from the road shoulders now, though i dont do it on a regular basis, but i guess that makes me one of them...Hurray, im a bad driver now...but do i care? No...Im actually hoping STAR would interview me one day as to why im doing what im doing, i jz cant wait to give 'em my two cents worth...

Alright, let's go back to the breakfast part, talking bout malaysian drivers makes me nauseous...

So we were tucking into our sandwiches and juices over a game of reversi...That dude claimed he's nv played the game before and he kicked my ASS...such liar...we talked bout future plans and what we would like to do down the road...he also gave me some advice as to where to go and what to see in NZ (he's been there b4), and he highly recommended me to stay longer in Wellington...

We eventually parted as i wanted to catch my yoga session in FF...and i later found out doing Yoga after such a hearty meal is not a good combination at all...where's my freakin common sense?

Im glad that i didnt puke in the studio as i can feel the sandwiches in my gut yelling to be released...especially when i was doing the Sun Salutation and Camel pose...i now know how camel can vomit water from their humps whenever they're thirsty...it would just come out naturally without much hassle if you are in their position...

After that i dont feel well anymore and dropped my plan to walk inside The Curve...i have wanted to collect my contact lens at focus point...but i was just too sick....thanks to O'brien's plus Power Yoga...i hurriedly got back home and slept the entire afternoon off...

Note to self: Never work out after meals.....DUH~~~~


***********

Mom gave me a big ang pau earlier for my bday...it actually made me feel bad as i feel that i should be giving them money and not the other way around...

I just wish i can start providing them sooner than later...

how'bout after NZ trip?

That sounds like a good idea.... :)

Im all good...

Happy CNY...

Alright, i lost some $200 in slots and games up there, and that's it for the year, i aint gonna feed anymore notes into the machines which wont reciprocate...It was all good fun none the less, my friends threw me a bash, they bought liquors, they treated me for all the meals while we were there, and we had such fine time together...

This year's bday is so much more different, first of all, i believe this year is my transition year, yeah, it's time to grow up and i feel so much older...it's time to take up certain responsibilities expected of me, and i aint gonna dodge it...

Secondly, i have that special someone celebrating with me this year...it's all so sweet, and it's nice being loved by someone again...

There is so much to be accomplished, but i guess im in good hands...just gonna do it one at a time...

'Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished' - Lau Tzu

********

Memoirs of a geisha, ive been anticipating this film for a while now since i read the book some few months back...but i should say im a lil' disappointed with it...

No doubt that the director has really been faithful to the book and has not altered much of its contents...the movie appeared to be rather bland...there was no excitement and lack of imagination...it was...boring...

Kudos to the girls/women who played the main casts, they were all good and has depicted the characters in the book relatively well...i just wish that they wouldnt seem so much like memorizing scripts when they speak...it was very unnatural...but considering English aint exactly their first language, i guess i'll pass...

Given that the film is based on an adaptation of a best seller, Rob Marshall could do little to portray the movie in a different direction...it is after all a memoir and i really shouldn't expect to see more japanese documentaries like how the Geisha dances, flipping of fans, performing tea ceremony, playing the shamisen or more on the kabuki theatre...i had also wanted to see more on how the kimono was being put on, since it was much elaborated by Arthur Golden in his book...well, i might as well just watch National Geographic or the discovery channel for that right?

*******

It's less than a week to CNY, just wanna wish y'all a prosperous new year...

Geez, speaking of which, i needa finish the 21 mandarin oranges now...an instruction from boss...i wish he will give us ang pau soon, i could certainly use the money...anytime...

Saturday, January 14, 2006

jz some thoughts...

It's been quite a while (a fortnight) that i havent been drinking, and that is a good thing...I aspire to get back in shape for the CNY reunion, be it with relatives or friends...Im gonna frequent yoga and pilates session for a last minute attempt to trim up as much as possible....geez, i even rejected my friends' invitation to a drinking session yesternight...but that's because im working today...All the same, i will still be going for happy hour later with a colleague, can't miss out the good time of the day, can i?

Truth is, im gonna be so stripped of money this month...after the Braun Buffel wallet and all that buffet meals in Hotel, yeah, the poor wallet is bleeding...I have also booked two nights of hotel room in Genting Hotel (rm235 a night, and it's offpeak) to celebrate my bday with friends up in the mountain...needless to say, im gonna have to spend some money in the casino right? What's there to do up there anyway except for the casino and the late night chill in the 'coolest'(literally) coffee bean in Msia.

I will also be doing more online purchase for a Temporary mail service in NZ, to apply for the tax number, travel insurance and goodness knows what...I needa get a one year supply of cons (coloured ones, of course) which could cost up to rm90 per pair for a month's usage. That would strip away some thousand dollars from my account...

I dunno why i can be so poor being not so much an extravagant person...i dont buy high tech toys, i rarely buy designer's brand, i dont own a sport car and most important of all, i dont have a gf...hehe, i know, that saves a lot...perhaps when it comes to food, i tend to be more fussy, but other than that, im pretty decent when it comes to spending money...though ive set my eyes on this winter pullover from Zara which im sure im gonna get it... :)

Over the next few months until i leave for NZ (im hoping it will be somewhere before Easter...), i know im gonna hafta save up as much as possible for the travelling fare...reason being, as i would be proud to say: I aint getting any money from my parents!! This trip would be funded entirely by myself...you have no idea how proud i am...Though i wont be able to help it if mom wont take my money for the air ticket since she will be helping me to buy from her travel desk...LOL..

I'm hoping the Kiwis will be decent people as most have told me...i'm hoping they will help me out as a lone traveller in a foreign place...im hoping that i will get to meet alot of other travellers from other countries and then we can travel together...im hoping that i will be fine...

Due to the NZ trip, i will have to put my mission trip on hold this year...I have been participating in misson trips for the past two years to Sarawak and Cambodia and have sorta decided that i will make an effort to go for one mission trip every year, be it with MMUCF or church...this year, CF is going to the Phillipines while my home church would send a team to China...the third team, which consists of me, would be to NZ...the trip that was promised by Ps.Joanne but it nv happened...anyway, that's a different story altogether...

but i digress...

I guess bro wont come back from Aus for CNY this year...im hoping to ask him to get me some gadgets over there...I dont think im gonna bring the camcorder, no point getting yourself all loaded with stuff...the plan is to travel light...i will bring two of my favourite EDTs, namely Mania and Romance...and as the name implies, im hoping to get to meet someone over there...who knows what could happen?

btw, the indonesian gal called again yesternight...i really dunno what to say...except: what have i gotten myself into?

Stay kewl...

blind date

So on this eventful morning, Auntie called and invited me to meet this gal that she has not seen before...apparently the girl is the daughter of a friend of her husband (i.e. my uncle) when they were studying together in the same Uni in Taiwan...geez....

It happened the week before she was asking if i was still seeing anyone...so i said: 'No'...and what a mistake that was...

I obliged her upon her endless plea that i give it a shot and see how things turn out...truth is, i am not even looking for any relationship, im leaving the country, remember?

It was very unfortunate, and i dreaded it all the way why i had to promise that i'm meeting the gal...the jam after work was horrendous, and i had to drive along LDP all the way to Summit, SJ...it wasnt pleasant at all...

Aunt was telling me the gal is an Indonesian national (chi indonesian), in other words, she's filthy rich...and she said if it works out between us, the gal's mother would send us both to England to further our education...hmm, that sounds like a good plan...the plan is to woo the gal, get a free ride to Eng, and ditch her....LOL...isnt that evil? i love it...

I met the 20-year-old, she's actually quite fair, and has flawless skin...what turned me off was the fact that she was wearing a braces...we talked bout stuff, skewl, she told me bout her homework, and that she's studying hospitality management in Sunway coll...then i asked if she faces any prob in her work and regretted asking later on...

Apparently she's having difficulty in writing her internship report (her eng isnt that good) and yeah, being the nice guy that i am, i have actually offered to help her with the report...and that's it, she's grateful to me and i can sense that she fancies me too...judging from all the SMSes, MSN msg, and phone calls...

Let's put it this way, i really dont see anything in common between us, the fact that i offered to help her is just a way to say: im sorry...so, cya...

anyway, she's just too young, and such a mama's gal too...

Thanks for nothing, aunt...

Tuesday, January 10, 2006

Hurray...

I cant believe how excited i am....My visa has been APPROVED!! It's meant to be afterall...God has opened the door...

I'm so thrilled...

I can start planning my trip...not so much on departure date though...more on what's to buy and bring over...and also...related documents to apply and update...

4. Dark Glasses
5. Amend Driving License
6. Amend Passport
7. Collect National IC.
8. Apply for NZ tax number

Im good to go...

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART (Bonnie Tyler )

Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, every now and then I know
you'll never be the boy you always you wanted to be
Turnaround, every now and then I know
you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, every now and then I know
there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
Turnaround, every now and then I know
there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Astrology...

It's been raining incessantly these days...if it's not pouring, gloomy clouds can be seen looming ahead, daytime is gray, and everyone feels blue, and...i like it...

I woke up to a drizzling morning today, it was cold, and i shivered when i came out from the steaming hot shower, i wish i could stay in the shower longer, but i had to work...

Meteorologist forcasted a wet January, and so far they have been right, surprisingly that is...I've been known to show a great deal of water element in me, i am an aquarius, i.e. water bearer...and according to Chinese Zodiac, i was born in the year of Water Dog...whatever that means...though i dont normally believe in this kinda zodiac thingy being a Christian, i like the fact that im somewhat related to the water...

The water element describes such a person as being emotional and nurture, at the same time determined. Aquarius, the Water-Bearer, is ruled by serious Saturn and outrageous Uranus, and this give rise to Masculine sign. Masculine Signs in astrology are signs which have traditionally been conceived as more active and less receptive, primarily focusing on the spiritual/mental world. A fixed (strong and solid) sign, Aquarius governs intellect and originality. It is an Air sign, which means Aquarians are intelligent, unorthodox and inventive, although you do tend to be eerily detached and personally uninvolved. I like that....

As an idealist, An aquarian champion the highest principles, while at the same time being an independent thinker. I find this true as few people has the same idea as i do, and im always thinking that my thoughts precede others...

Determined Aquarius, a fixed sign, can be rather stubborn, offhand and resistant to imposed changes. You accept the substantial alterations in life as a challenge, but are quite averse to those small changes which can throw a spanner in the works. When confronted with unreasonable authoritarian demands or dogmatic principles to which you do not subscribe, you rebel. You certainly resent being told what to do, although you can be quite co-operative when properly approached. Gosh, i cant agree more with this, it's hard to believe that it is actually describing me! Im sure my parents, my friends, and my boss will agree to this...I dont give a D*** to nobody, whoever you are, and NOBODY tells me what to do, what i can or cannot do....NOBODY...

Aquarians are naturally sceptical; they like to test things for themselves, but, once convinced, become firm in their determination to see things through. Anyone who wants to get on side with you needs to see what must be done and share the load without being asked. Again, that's my trademark...

In relationships, your intellectual approach makes you seem interested, but not particularly passionate or possessive. Of course you do not really lack passion, for when you focus your feelings, your passion is as intense as it is inspirational.hmm...somewhat true...

So far as sports are concerned, my dears, as long as you can participate in such activities with a partner, or as part of a team, you can get quite enthusiastic about it, so have little trouble keeping physically fit. You do have a tendency to laziness, however, so are reluctant to engage in any boring series of exercises on your own. Broad jumping, camping, ballooning, tennis, swimming, racquetball and baseball are cool for you. Science and engineering, international finance, writing, music, astrology, psychology or social work are all fields wherein you could find your niche. The laziness trait is just so me...

Charming, exciting and unpredictable, yet somehow strangely detached from the proceedings, you are one of the zodiac's most eccentric personalities. Your powerful intellect propels you into original thought and desire to take things to the limit in all manner of offbeat directions. You definitely look for the unusual and challenging, while at the same time seeking romance, tenderness and understanding in your relationships.Bingo!

Aquarius, a masculine sign, is adventurous and not averse to the thrill of risk-taking. No timidity for you! Your optimism and positivity, combined with idealism and the need to break new ground can lead you into quite unfamiliar territory - not that this bothers you, for you are willing to follow any new lead to its conclusion. Your sex-drive is not unduly strong, but your need to explore and be stimulated sometimes gives others the impression that your desires are rampant!Yeah, im a risk taker, always have been...

Your emblem is the Water Bearer, pouring the water of originality, idealism and consciousness onto the parched earth of materialism and dullness. You stand at the vanguard of original thinking and tolerance, so you are not averse to seeking partners from other cultures, or other races. Your freedom is extremely important and you hate to be tied down, although, because your mind may be absorbed in some challenging study, you may not notice infringements to this rule for some time. When you do notice, you may react explosively and head for the door.
Uh huh, finding partner from other races, yeah, love the idea...

Alright, i just want to say that im not particularly obsessed with all that was said about my personality...you determine who you are, and what kinda person you wanna be...and we can do just about anything through God...

Still, im the water boy...

Don't mess with me...

Im old...

This morning before i left home for work, mom gave me a brochure from Equatorial Hotel featuring the different restaurants and the promotion they are offering. She asked me to choose a restaurant for my bday bash and she has specifically singled out this promotion by the name of 'Enchanting Europe' as offered by Nipah Coffeeshop.

She always knew what i like best, she can tell of my feelings, she is a worm inside my body...I guess i will go with her selection, though it's kinda pricey, but i guess i wont b footing the bill...so...

The promotion features some diverse taste of European cuisine like Chicken Zurichoisse, Lamb Osso Bocco "Cremolata', Oyster Mornay, Seafood Thermidor, Salmon Quennels with Pomery Mustard sauce, Capelini Seafood salad, Saxon Pudding, Honey Pine Tart, among others...gosh, doesnt it just make your mouth water just by the name of the delights?

I'm turning 24...im getting so old...and i know this is the prime time to do what your heart's desire....The chinese Zodiac this year is the Dog...the year that i was born in...according to the almanac (i dont believe in 'em), there are good chances that im getting married this year, i will be wealthy too, it claimed...also, i will be in the pink of health whole year round...aint bad huh?

24 years old...gosh, i feel so grown up all of a sudden, i just wanna....get out of this confining cocoon, i wanna...fly....there are hundred and one things that i wanna do, i just cant wait to experience all of that...

God, hear me out...I will still be your vessel, but you needa open the doors for me, so that the vessel can reach out to other places...

I'm restless...

Thursday, January 05, 2006

I love the Sun....do i?

I've heard from friends abroad how much they worship the sun, but where i am right now, the soleil is not a popular figure, worse, people try all ways possible to avoid any contact with it whatsoever, nobody wants to have anything to do with the source of life here...

It's not like we don't appreciate the power it's given us, it's not like we totally shut her off...it's just that...you make us hot and sweaty, then we don't like you hanging around with us...just that...

Now that i've returned to working in regular shift, yes...i hate regular shift...i need to once again bear with the morning traffic, the Sunshine, the heat (though im feeling very cold right now)...and the disruption of my gym routine...

I havent been to yoga and pilates for few days now...i don't like the crowd in the evening classes, everyone's stressed out, and they cant wait to de-stress, which stresses the instructor, and when she is stressed, she could stress/stretch you real hard...she will pressure you into doing some impossible posture...she will be mean...

Also, i cant see to other businesses like fixing my passport or do banking or enjoy a quiet breakfast at O'Brien's...nvm, they will put me back to graveyard shift real soon...upon request...

Gosh, im looking forward to play some slots up in genting sometime next week...The club has given me a free room because this month is my birthday month...along with some free meals and stuff...not bad, considering i dont gamble at all...fyi, playing slots are not gambling, im merely trying my luck, or testing the randomness of the machine, or getting ripped off by the one arm bandit...im looking for some quick ways to finance my backpacking trip...i will participate in the contest by The Star, i will...hmm....how can i get money? Asking from my parents is a No-No...i will be ashamed of myself if i did...

********

my head's feeling lighter now with my new hair-do...it will grow to an optimum length come CNY...yeah, i can get some money then, since my bday falls on the first day of CNY according to lunar calendar...i should expect some double ang pau again...

I love January....February too...since it's a short month, getting salary is relatively faster...and then March...

Time flies....right?

Ushering in 2006....

This is a good year...

Yeah, deep inside me, i do believe that it is gonna be a helluva year...

I dont know why im feeling what im feeling, i guess it's just a hunch...

So on New Year eve, Sally got married...it was a picture of bliss seeing them together...they were so happy...It makes me wonder...when will i find my soulmate? To be honest, i have seldom gave any thoughts to this...all this while i was busy thinking of where to go and which country to visit, that ive...sorta blush away the idea that im gonna hafta settle down one day and start a new family....

So as usual, i was inebriated at the party...Mel was giving me a hard time and tried incessantly to take away my drinks and to cold stare the waitress who has not failed to fillup my glass whenever im done with it...It was a jovial party none the less, we left early after congratulating the couple to catch the count down at Ikano...

The crowds were incredible...i have no idea where everyone came from and why they were there (im pretending not to know why)...it spoiled my mood totally having all these dont-know-who around me and im much pissed when people start pushing their way around...You guys STINK, doncha know that?

I wasted no time to gather my friends and adjourned to Hartamas after the fireworks were being displayed...i was trying not to let anger to get ahead of me since it was New Year day...and secretly allowed myself to imagine blithely that i wont hafta celebrate New Year Eve for the coming year HERE...Geez...that's a nice thought...you have no idea...

For two nights in a row, i was drinking heavily at Hartamas, enjoying the New Year mood, and set myself in an all-night-party mode...embracing new dreams, new ideas, new resolutions and a new self...

We also celebrated Jo's birthday at Concorde...i was disappointed with the buffet spread as they featured very little western and italian cuisine...I helped myself to more desserts than the main course, and was feeling very rich when we left the hotel...with all that cheese and cream...

Talking about her birthday, i have yet to get her the present...she wanted a Braun Buffel purse...i'll see if im free this weekend to buy it...

Later...im going to get my hair cut for CNY....made an appointment with Gibson at Peek-a-Boo, and will ask him to give me something funky...

Life's good...
