Had another REALLY good weekend. :) We kicked-off with Ash's poolside BBQ party on Friday. It's sempena her convocation actually.So Syida and i stepped-up as organizers for the party. Don't have the pix yet, but will post sum up soon. There was good food...and great peeps, so needless to say, we had fun.
Menu was:
- Grilled Black pepper chicken
- Grilled BBQ chicken
- Spaghetti bolognese
- Hot dogs (with mustard)
- Assorted grilled sides: Corn, Potato, Sweet potato, Capsicum
- Assorted fresh fruits: Watermelon and Honey Dew
- Azreen's yummy/spicy popiah
- Junk food galore: Pringles, Twisties (dan lain-lain)
- Drinks/Booze fest: Ice-cold Ribena, Soft drinks, Beer, Whiskey and a bottle of Champagne
- Phaik Kee brought ice-cream too!
Azmil was being really manly man, and helped at the grill (even tho he was still sick). It didn't help that it drizzled slightly half-way through the BBQ -_-. So, i fashioned a plastic bag over his head to keep his head from the rain. hahaha. A certain guy super failed la. Being the princess that he is, ran for cover when it started drizzling. Didn't even know how to start fire -_-. SU-PER FAAAAAAAIL.

Went for Showpink's Junkyard sale on Saturday. omg OMG it's bargains galore weyyyy. Bought 4 things for 80 bucks!!! And they were gorgeous stuff too. Lapsap gear. hahaha.
Damage at the end of Junkyard sale (relatively mild, i should think):
- One neon-pink skull/lightning singlet for RM20
- One striped b&w bustier-ish top for RM15 (fucking bargain!)
- One over-sized granny grey polkadot cardi for RM25
- And one angel/skull soft-cotton top for RM20
Deliriously happy. *sigh*
It was also Shan's birthday on Sat. So, we gathered for her bday dinz @ this Arabic restaurant called Al-Amir at Jalan Damai. Food was generic Arabic, AND i don't do Shisha so it was merely to hang with the gurls la. Sheens wanted to dance, so i took them over to Asian Heritage Row. We parked at BarClub (the old Ivy) coz my sister's bf works there (no cover and FREE flow of booze. Woots!). Wanted to take them to Velvet, but Sheens has this thing against Zouk and anything related to it.Gurl, you don't know what ur missing...

Sunday was very chilled. The Fiance tapau-ed Nasi Lemak from Santai and we ate at home. Then just pretty much lepak-ed at home, watching Astro. For dinz, i gathered the whole family for a get-together @ Cozy House over at Great Eastern Mall. It was nice you know, to see Mama and Ayah again. I haven't been the most doting of daughters. Haven't gone back to the family crib for almost a month now. O_o

I liked last weekend. It was one of those well-balanced ones, where i got to see old friends, hang out with new ones and catch-up with the family, all in the space of 3 days. :) More of those please. It's very good for the soul...

Babi-fied weekend/ Watered-down Shutter/ Showpink
Had a really nice, relaxing weekend with the Fiance. Basically we memBABIed all the way...eat, sleep. Eat, sleep. Eat, watch movie, sleep. :) Am really happy actually.
I told Syida and Ash before, it's a privilege to stay at home ALL day and do nothing. I mean, there's only so much clubbing a person can take. I'm all up for a mossive party and all that shit but after a while, it's really nice to be able to stay at home, and live under the comforter.
We went for a movie Saturday night to watch Shutter. It's the watered-down American version -_-. Goes to say, it didn't live up to its original Thai namesake. We kinda knew what to expect as well, so there were no surprises la. The only plus point was Joshua Jackson. Too fucking bad he had to turn mental in the end. But even when he's gila and sakit jiwa, he's still hot! HAHAHAHA. Oh wait. I AM attracted to screwed-up people. ;p That's why i find Britney Spears so compelling.
Anyhoo, Showpink's having another junkyard sale.
Woots! Missed out on the LapSap one last weekend @ Palate Pallete. So, I'll DEFINATELY be goin this weekend. It's strange. I'm falling in love with the whole NU Rave thing. Its Neon brights, its disjointed mix of music, its awkwardness, its anti-fashion statement. Thanks to Blink and his LapSap movement. ;p I'm trying to locate this one song I've been hearing when Blink spins. Fuck. I dunno what it's called. -_- But it's awesome wey.

"The Crippled Butterfly"
It's not always about parties and shopping.
Here's something that's touched my heart in ways that was unexpected. Taken from Yasmin Ahmad's blog...
"A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.
Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If nature allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.
And we could never fly."

Shine on. SHINE onnnnnnn~
I am ready. Hearts-a-pounding. Adrenalin-a-pumping. Blood-a-racing.It's here.
With much excitement, i make my way to Colmar Tropicale@Bukit Tinggi tomorrow morning for Shine8. It's basically a long weekend where young advertising get to delve into this crazy industry and leave with a bit more understanding of its inner-workings.
God knows how much i ALREADY love the ad biz (and the crazy fucks that work in it ;p)but i do! So being cooped up in a hill-side resort with other ad people is gonna be awesome weyyyyy.
Crush is sending Ash (our A.E) and i this time around. And since I've been to a previous 95% training before,I kinda know what to expect.Not sure if Janet and gang has a few surprises up their sleeves tho. O_o I missed Janet...and wonky Shahnaz...It'll be great learning from them again. :)
Ad Newbie in Progress. That's Shahnaz and The Dream Catchers. -_- Cheezy. I know.
Anyways, it'll be fun. See y'all when i get back.

The silent fiance...
I've not been talking to Azmil for three days now. Had an argument and emo-ed BIG TIME.
Too much stuff at work to think about right now so I'm not layan-ing it too much. Guess it's good timing though, coz I'm leaving for Bukit Tinggi this Friday for a training.
*sigh*
