if i had been an indian and celebrated deepavali, i wud haf said it had been a great holiday. :)

Public Holiday Eve - MAD SHOPPING

i spent wed evening doing the sinful affair again - SHOPPING. it was totally unplanned! i had only wanted to stop by at PS to grab dinner.. BUT!! why were there discounts and sales EVERYWHERE?!?!?! BODYSHOP, LA SENZA, CHARLES & KEITH.. ALL HAVING SALE!! how can i not shop.. it wud b so wrong.. *snickers*

ended up getting cosmetics at BODYSHOP, suder duper comfy PJs at LA SENZA (gg back today to see if there are some more!) and a pair of patent black heels from CHARLES & KEITH. oh, and 2 novels from TIMES. yes, even TIMES was having a sale!!!! unbelieveable. i'm thinking it is some pre-xmas thing. this is alwaes the best time of the year to buy stuff. cuz everything goes on sale during xmas shopping time. i developed the habit of shopping for CNY clothes/stuff during the xmas sales abt 2 years back, cuz there are alwaes better buys and stuff are in-season stuff. :) this year will be no different. (then again, i've been shopping all year this year..) *shakes head*

so after the sinful spree and eventually grabbing mos burger for dinner, i headed home and jus 5 min before i reached home, *he* called to say he's coming to pick me up and we cud go for a movie, since we didn't haf to work the next day. so i went home, almost running cuz i didn't want to run into him downstairs my place and get caught red-handed for my shopping crime. and in case he wanted to come up, i had to hide away all my shopping bags!!! i had almost wanted to gobble down my burger cuz if he knew i was having fast food for dinner at 9.30pm, i wud b pretty screwed. but i was too tired and flustered to gobble it down.. so i brought it along with me to the theatre, figuring it wud b better to get caught for this than for the shopping spree. :p

in the end, he took me to boon tong kee for a decent dinner as fast food is a no-go for him. :) *sweet*

LIONS for LAMBS - Realli? it is a movie?

we saw "Lions for Lambs" that night. OMG. it is so not a movie. it is like a freaking documentary!! like Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth". it was a weird show, IMO. there was no storyline, the flow of story didn't gel, there was no climax too. the ending was like as if it were a drama serial.. as if it was "To Be Continued". except, not in the big movie way.. like i said, in a small drama serial way.. jus pop in the next dvd and see what that last guys said in the last episode. YES, boring.

however, i think it served as a good reminder to the Americans.. the movie seemed to want to drive a messge to the Americans.. something abt staying united and supportive of the US govt to fight against terrorism. hence, it was dificult for us, non-americans to relate. *sigh* i realli wonder wat Tom Cruise was thinking when he took on the role? doing a part for the nation?? gosh, realli no idea man.

meryl streep was magnificent tho. she almost realli looked like she lived the life she potrayed in the movie. amazing actress.

my brother wud totally love this show, i think. haf to remember to tell him to watch it!

BRIDESMAID? ME!

went home amost 2am that night. woke up at 8am the next day to go to the biscuit shop. the same afternoon, agus called to ask us to go for fitting. huh, wat fitting?? apparently i am the bridesmaid for his wedding and i wasn't told until now. sheesh.. trust guys to do such things, they will nv fail in forgetting dates/impt events.

but anyhows, I AM VERY EXCITED!! i have been a "sister" at fren's weddings many times, BUT NV A BRIDESMAID!! and *he* is the BESTMAN!! it's gonna b fun!! i haf alwaes enjoyed going out with agus and his wife-to-be, Sally. sally and i get along like we've known each other for ages! we are born 16 days apart only! we can relate to each other on many issues cuz our bfs are so alike.. being the good frens they are. and we help each other "spy" sometimes. :p

so yday evening we went for our fitting at one of the bridal studios at tanjong pagar.. i had 3 short white dresses to try and i realli liked one of them.. but agus's mom and sally preferred another.. so i compromised cuz it is not my wedding after all! as long as agus and sally are happy. :)

i ended up taking the very typical but safe bridesmaid dress.. a short tube a-line dress.

it's going to be fun, i'm sure!!! can't wait till january 3!!

after the fitting, we had dinner with agus, sally and agus's parents at a traditional hokkien style restaurant in amoy street. and i realised how much i missed having dinner family-style. agus's mom is very similar to my mom, so maybe tt's y i felt very at home with them.

after dinner, *he* sent me home and read a bit before deciding to finish up the last 2 VCDs of the korean drama i was watching. and went to bed after. nothing extraordinary that day but it was a good and happy day nevetheless. i am beginning to enjoy simple days like these. :)
