birthdays in europe..

oh my god tres, just realised that i was in europe for your birthday and you'll be in europe for mine.. sheeshh.. just get me something nice ok. like those patterned panty hose i love, its sooo sexy and you cant get it here, (but i bet many ppl beg to differ, oh well, to each his/her own). can get them in marks and spencers for abt 6 pounds i think. or a good pair of boots from clarks, esp when they have the warehouse sale - go find out when. can get a decent pair for 25 or thereabouts.. oh yeah, and bring my bag back in one piece, i'll be needing it soon.

that aside, where in the world are you? enjoying yourself so far? cheers babe, have fun ;-)

neways.. details abt my mundane life:

1. futsal: fun

2. work: ok, but screwed up BIG time today, i am SOOOO in deep shit (like the bombs already blown and there are shrapnels everywhere, and you're waiting for the other bombs, while waiting, you try to gather the pieces of your life back and try to go back to normalcy, but you cant fully do that cos you just know there's gonna be another bomb, like repercussions..) (or like an earthquake when you know it 12.5 on the richter scale, but you also know there are gonna be aftershocks, just dont know if they'll be 5.6 or 18.9)..

3. proofreading on marketing strategies in comparison with siemens and ibm: interesting and made $500, but cant spend it cos its going towards my spain fund

4. gorgeous is fine, thks for asking

5. so is gremlin, usdollar, euro and pound sterling ;-)

6. watched mistress of spices on the big screen: really nice but prob wouldnt be everyone's cup of tea; i loved it tho, even enjoyed the book and the movie was an almost exact adaptation; was more like an international screen movie..

7. maritime law and market econs finished, only economincs to go and thats only due next wk, so procastinate ler..

8. paws on sat: miss the doggies, there were so many new ones, didnt go into the cat cage tho, would prob start of my allergy.. took some canines for walks and there was a visit from some school, so taught them how to walk dogs and stuff.. quite fun.

9. claims not done.. and to think i wanted to go watch garfield or monster house today.. hmmm.. priorities.. priorities.. all wrong..

spoke to lilian the other day and had so much fun reminiscing, almost brought tears to my eyes thinking of the old days.. the cat, the piano, and i think you were also there when kenny brought the table and started assembling it outside and you noticed his socks which had individual toes.. ;-) amazing that you even rmbr not only gremlin but the new kittens as well.. hope august is fine now.. ;-) thks lilian.. lemme know when you're back and can catch up or something..

wanted to write about the phrase "to each his own". dont think we can justify why other people are so different from us, but at the same time, everyone is a free person and we should respect his decision. (btw, everytime i use "his", its just for convenience - just insert oblique (/her). funny how we tend to think of others as freaks just cos they are different. but we dont realise that everyone is entitled to his preferences and just beacuse they dont match up with ours doesnt mean its wrong or weird. (could always think of weird as unique i suppose). as long as what we do is not getting into other people's faces, we should be alright.

trigger: went to bangsar alone the other night. sole purpose of going was to have 2 drinks, relax and get out. went in my futsal clothes cos too malas to go home and change (would've prob got into bed with my pyjamas straight if i did). neways, went and had 2 drinks, made friends with the bartender and got to taste some funny concoction he was making (in front of me, so i know he's not putting in anything he shouldnt), and got chatted up by a girl ;-) who was into extreme sports like paragliding and rockclimbing.. she even gave me her number.. for the record, I'M STRAIGHT, i swear..

neways, told some people abt this "episode" and the only things i heard were "you have no life", you're sad" "why dont you have any friends", and a few others along those lines.. why is it that you become sad and weird just cos you enjoy your own company? i love me. i love being alone, i enjoy my solitude.. but people dont understand that just cos they cant appreciate solitude. but even if you cant, you let them be, dont diss them, cos they're not getting into your face. just cos they're not like you doesnt give you the license to mock them; it doesnt mean they're not happy doing what they want. everyone's happy doing different stuff.. oh well, i'm trying to say this and so much more but i just end up ranting..

even the ad in the cinema shows that there is no world without friends.. says who?

exhale.... again... mm, better.

so my friend in spain just replied my email saying i was welcome at his place.. thats the south, near malaga and ALR, so i could go to morocco as well and maybe even portugal.. ;-) def needs some planning la.. that reminds me - need to plan for hong kong as well..

told myself i'm staying back in the office today to finish my claims so better get on to that before admin comes after me. oh, and need to put up those pfizer posters as well.. ciao.
