March 2014 Has Passed Already?!

A no sense post to end March :D If you can tolerate my constant blabber that is.

I can't believe its the end of March already! So much has happened (actually all that happened is getting the SPM results)

First, after getting results is going back to kampung last weekend. By coincidence, that weekend my parents and uncles and aunts and distant relatives had planned to make a family meeting so they would never lose touch.

A lot of people asked me what I want to do what I want to do when I grow up now. I guess I am kinda grown up now, at least grown up enough to have to think about this latest nuisance.

My answer had always changed throughout my life and now I know what the true answer is. I don't know. *lol facepalm

 Basically the general answer is "Whatever that makes me filthy rich in the future". =.=

I need to wake up and be brave. I can't be worried that I might hate my life in the future. I can't be worried about things that I haven't experienced yet, that's just irrational.

BUT I CAN'T HELP HAVING THE NEED TO PULL MY HAIR FROM MY SCALP!

There's that frustrating  feeling of butterflies multiplying in my tummy again. Always there to remind me of the future that isn't predictable. I admire people who would think of this as an adventure and take it all in stride but that's just not me.

I commented on Sarah's blog that everything would end up fine, and if it doesn't then that means that its not the end of things yet.

So, I'm going to try to be positive and optimistic! :D

Another thing that happened is that my taste in shopping just upgraded lol. Suddenly all the cheap items have no attraction to me! In fact, I just bought RM 130 worth of products from the body shop the other day and I never usually spend that much in one go.... Is this good or bad.

I saw a top at Padini that is very gorgeous (*salivate) and I have wanted to buy it for a long time but.... its RM 120! That's more than my usual entire outfit put together!! It's right in front of the shop so every time I pass the shop, I'd be sighing because this particular shirt is almost never on sale.

It was on sale once for 20% but I thought... its Padini. Padini always has crazier sales. Now Padini has a huge sale but that particular top isn't even 10% off. Come on shopping luck! Work!

Btw, I wrote about a pair of jeans a few weeks ago.

I saw these pair of acid washed jeans and they were on a buy one free one sale. I wished I had a friend to share the free one sigh at that moment. I think it was around RM 88 which is super expensive for me. So, I just sorta caressed it and left to the general direction of Etude House where I once again regained joy.

And I bought it!! My cheapskate luck worked and it was on sale and I bought it for RM 35+-+-.

I've also found a new favorite book! Its been a while since I've read a new very good book. I read the divergent series recently because the movie came out but its just not working for me. So to keep myself occupied, I re-read the Harry Potter series. But now, I found a book called Persephone by Kaitlin Bevis. Really interesting eh! My knowledge in Greek mythology has leveled up drastically (hail wikipedia!)! I wanna read more books with greek mythology!

Maybe I should become a greek mythology professor, if such an occupation really exists.

    

I keep thinking of Nana as Aphrodite in my head. Need two pics cause she's so beautiful *starstruck

I read the the whole three books in the series in 2 days. That's how good it is. I know its silly but I've always had a stupid habit of getting too emotionally attached to characters in books I read. Even right now I'm experiencing book-end-withdrawal and I've been moping around goodreads trying to find another treasure.

I should go slow and savour it next time, like when people drink wine.

I'm so thankful that such good and entertaining books exist. Reading is the best on a boring, uneventful day. Sigh, I hope that when I go to school again, I'd have time to read but somehow, I have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that I won't because I'll be so busy.

I FRIGGIN LOVE SHOPPING RAWRRRR!

Aaaah, balance to the world has been restored for I have gone shopping!

On Sunday, after church I went to City Mall with Mia, my cousin and our aunt. I only brought RM 20 because I am strictly not going to spend like a maniac anymore. So all I bought was Vaseline which costs RM 4.50 and 2 pairs of earrings for my mom's birthday which costs RM 13.

I really love sparkly rhinestones. But my ears aren't pierced so I don't buy earrings which is just as well because if I did, they'd be all over the house.

And then Mia bought me some croissants! I have never eaten one before this and it was like heaven singing inside my mouth. Its only RM 5 for 5 pieces but the guy selling them was so nice, he gave us an extra one so each of us can have 3!! Just the advantages of being cute, hehe.

And I saw lots of my friends on City Mall but couldn't be bothered to walk over and say hi because I'm lazy like that. And shy, but mostly lazy.

Then we bought a cake which the best aunt in the world paid for and we went back home.

At home, I savoured my croissants and Mia taught me to play the guitar! Right now, I'm learning how to play Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift and I think I'm getting the hang of it. But still kinda noob la of course because I don't have the dedication to practice.

It hasn't been a couple of hours when my aunt asked us if we wanted to go to 1 Borneo. Are you kidding me, YES! And this time, the beast inside me came out and I brought RM 200 out. I have no self control T__T

But thats okay, I didn't even spend up to RM 20!

I spent RM 5.50 for some peppermint milky tea and waffles and RM 8.70 for a pastel pink nail polish from Etude House and thats it! I was very very very tempted to buy some useless crap but I held my ground and my pockets didn't pay the price (punny or not?).

I love it! But I took it off after a while because I wanna wait for my nails to grow out a little bit more.

Then we were going home and just happened to pass VOIR where there is a huge sale up to 70% off!!! AMAZING OR AMAZING??

The last time I went to the VOIR sale, Caroline and Carlin bought a pair of mint green shorts for RM 40 or 50. And I remember the feeling of green envy over these mint green shorts (I am so punny today) and of course I don't want to miss the oppurtunity again.

So I searched for some pastel pink pants, long pants so I can where them to church and I found one hot pink pants that costs RM 120 and it is only on a 50% discount. So that is still RM 60... Then I found a pastel pink one but it had no price tag on it so I assumed it was very, very expensive because thats their tactic, you see. You expect it to be an 'okay' price and only find out about the ridiculous price at the counter. By then, your girly pride and ego wouldn't want to be shamed so you buy it anyway. Or maybe thats just me.

Then I searched and searched and searched FOR 3 HOURS for other clothing that would take my mind off of those pair pink pants and to no avail... it seems nothing can calm my raging thirst for it.

In the end, just as we were going to pay, I gave in and snatched the second last pair of pastel pink pants. And at the counter I found out it was only around RM 100! So that is RM 50, because it was 50% off. NOPE LOL. It was 70% off that day because it was the last day of the sale! *jumpinjoy

 

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

Then we went home, ate cake and I did my nails and went to sleep.

Seeing, the cake makes me wanna eat more. It's cheesecake with cranberry and strawberries on top. The price is ridiculous for a cake, I won't even mention it.

Contributing To The Economy

Yesterday, I went to Suria Sabah to once again do good and contribute to the economy. I went there quite early, around 11am and right away, my friend Tiara and I started shopping!

I woke up to my ringtone 'Hey would you pick up the phone' and Tiara told me Erik was going to be there in Suria with his girlfriend but since I was still a zombie, I just said 'Mmmm, okay la.... .'

First we went to buy her dress for Installation Night, which is something like a prom where all the Interact club around KK gathet and I don't know, talk about world peace lol.

I don't remember much of the shops we went to for me, it was bloody expensive la. I do remember one shop where it sells this gorgeous red dress for RM 25 and if I went, confirm I would buy oh!!! Hehe, now I know where to buy cheap dresses.

In the end, we went to LylaRuth and dress hunted over there. I tried on some of the dresses because according to Tiara, if I can fit it, so can she. So I became her mannequin for a day lol and do whatever she ordered.

They had pastel coloured dresses there omg so cute! It made me wish I was going! Next time, next time... I did try on this gorgeous white dress that was very demure and had a lace back, I would've bought that one!! Sigh... this is how a shopping addict is.

The shop was so nice. It has a really calming feeling to it and since we were the only customers at that time, we just camwhored the whole time lol. At least I did la.

Then, Tiara chose a tube white long dress that she really liked! For me actually, I wouldn't buy it cause I'm cheapskate and would be tempted to rip the dress when I get home but if the price was a little lower..... I would still buy the demure white dress I found earlier!! Lol.

But its Tiara's dress, not mine. So on her it looks great and I guess if the price doesn't bother her then two thumbs up. Lol, actually the demure white dress wasn't that cheap either

Just as she chose the dress, Nate, another friend, and Tiara's boyfriend came to join us. As Tiara was trying on the dress, we talked.

Him : Hey, how are you?
Me : I'm fine. (Actually, I was trying to be cool and said it in a nonchalant way that sounded slightly sleepy)
Him : No you're not.
Me : (Lol what?) Yeah I am.
Him : No you're not.
Me : Oh... I didn't get to be president for Fencing Club next year.. (I said it just to please him). But how are you?
Him : Life sucks.
Me : NO IT'S NOT!

Lol.

Then I made him feel all guilty because I said hi yo him on Facebook and he didn't reply me and how we haven't talked for months.

After that, we paid for the dress and left to eat! I was starving! Nate, being the gentleman he is, payed for our whole lunch that day!!! I insisted on going to the food court where drinks are like, RM 2 and chicken rice is like RM 5. But noooo, he wanted to go to fancy smancy One Station. I don't usually go to Suria cause my default mall is 1B so I thought One Station was cheap. Little did I know that a one person meal would cost RM 20!

But I was surprised to see a computer on each table at One Station. So I showed Tiara my recent frog disection pics to gross her out lol. Nate just seemed like, meh... frogs.

I ordered a Deep Fried Fish something and some chocolate milk because they didn't have Iced Lemon Tea which is my favorite drink of all time. When I said I wanted Iced Lemon Tea, Nate said 'No, Crystal don't be that girl.' 'But I like Iced Lemon Tea... Yer! Why Nate marah me?' Lol, I was having my period so everything made me sensitive. 'Order something like Vodka,' he said. Ohhh.. he was joking lol.

After we ordered everything, Tiara got a call which went something like this...

'Hello?.... we're at One Station.... what?.....Sarah is lost and you wanna come here?'

When I heard that I started freaking out. I was hoping to avoid him and just pretend he didn't exist. I do really wanna pretend to be dead to each other.

Just once I would like this guy to let me spend some time with Nate and Tiara. Ever since I met him last year, there's always him when I make plans with Nate and Tiara.

Every time when I almost have my period or if its the first day of my period, I would always cry or scream. And this time, I really felt like crying. I even almost blogged about it since there was a computer right there but Tiara stopped me.

Then, Nate went out to find Erik to stop him from coming. Aww, it seems like they are protective of me!!! If it were me and I saw myself being a baby like that, I would tell myself to shut up and suck it up.

But alas, the odds are not in my favour and Nate came followed by Erik. I just became really silent and when he said hi, I didn't even want to look at him.... but I whispered a hi out of me anyway even though I wasn't looking at him.

Then, I stayed silent because all I wanted was to stab his eyeballs out of their sockets until Tiara said if I wanted to go to the toilet. I didn't hesitate and I said yes! But who followed me was not Tiara, but Nate.

Nate was so nice to me!! I blew up on him and he just kept on comforting me. I kept saying stupid gibberish and he didn't even say I was stupid. Then when I went the wrong direction because I was so disoriented, he asked me if I was okay! What have I done in my past life to deserve a friend like this?

Just as I was going to pee, my phone rang again 'Hey won't you pick up the phone?' And pick it up, I did and it was Tiara. She asked me if I was okay and she said that I looked as if I was about to cry. Personally, I blame it on my period that I was so reactive to my emotions that day.

Then I peed real fast and we went back to the restaurant. My food already arrived and I attacked my fish. Then, I noticed Erik being sad that his girlfriend ditched him or something, and can you believe it, he updated his Twitter!! Lol, to me, a boy who puts his relationship problems into the world is so not masculine. Hehe, then I just laughed at him inside my head, enjoyed looking at his misery and ate my fish in contentment. After that, my mood went uphill from there.

But I couldn't say the same for Erik. He looked really sad. I couldn't understand that kind of sadness, because I've never been through it before. I wonder if its the same as being dumped? I really couldn't understand how he managed to let himself be dumped by the same person four times. Anyone can make a mistake once, it takes an idiot to make the same mistake twice. It takes a special idiot to make the same mistake thrice. It takes a true blue Erik to make the same mistake four times.

I was sikently pondering on this inside my head when Erik actually said, 'You're not gonna talk to me, are you?'

'Who are you again?

'Yeah, I should introduce myself, I'm Erik (LAST NAME),' His actual quote!

'Oh, I'm Darth Vader,' Oh God why??? I was actually trying to make him get the message that I didn't want to talk to him by saying something ridiculous.

Then Nate laughed which made me feel funny lol.

Then fast forward again la through the whole thing!

Erik mope, update twitter, punches his fist oooh so badass!!!

After that we finished our food and as I was going out of the restaurant, I saw S looking as handsome as ever. But he just looked at me and then looked away. I felt so unglamorous..

But oh well, Tiara told me that he has a girlfriend already which means he has moved past the phase. T___T

Then after that, we basically just shopped around. Cotton On had a RM 5 sale and Tiara bought me a top that originally costs RM 69!! Can you believe that bargain?

And then as I was trying on the clothes there, Nate slipped a jacket over my chamging room door and told me that Erik wanted me to wear it. Ew, no. Just... no. How about no? Then when I went out, I asked Erik why he wanted me to wear his stupid ugly jacket and he said he didn't want me to wear his stupid ugly jacket. So I kicked Nate for embarrassing me.

Then we went to Starbucks where Erik finally left and then we shopped in peace! I was instantly happy again! We went to this shop where I bought a pair of golden, rustic shorts for RM 15.

Then we went to F.O.S, where I bought a white watch for RM 25 and Tiara helped me pay RM 10. Why are these people so nice?

As we were shopping, suddenly Erik made an appearance. And I said loudly, 'WHY IS HE HERE?!' Which made Tiara cover my mouth. Okay, I admit, that was rude of me.

Turns out, he gave up looking for Sarah and was going home. About time!

I think I'm the rudest customer imaginable. Whenever I see a ridiculous price, I would exclaim "SO MAHAL!!' and if its cheap, 'OMG SO CHEAP!!!' And Tiara kept shushing me lol.

Then with nothing to do, we went to Wisma Merdeka which I was so afraid to go because we have to cross the road. One of my greatest fear is dying by getting smashed so I'm always a coward when I cross the road.

There was really nothing there. We wanted to search for a pair of shoes for Tiara but theres really nothing there. So, we went back and Nate carried our bags. Tiara didn't like it cause she felt guilty but I had no problem because ice water runs through my veins and my shoulders hurt at that time.But Nate went ahead of us and left us behind so we tried hiding behind a door. Our plan was that if he came looking for us, we would scare him. But really fail oh cause Nate didn't go look for us.

After that, we walked around, shopping mindlessly and I bought my last purchase of RM 22 in E-Noveal for beauty products. Its RM 12 for 10 sheet masks! Is that a good deal or is that a good deal?

And then we sat down in Times Bookstore, camwhoring in public which is something I thought I'd never do willingly but I did! Hahah, all in all, it was a great day! I spent RM 47. Very good day!

The end.
