When things don't go as planned

Everybody has their own obsession(s). You have that thing that can either make or break you. You don't understand why you are so obsessed with that particular thing, but it just happens.
(Haiya, there are so many things in this world that cannot be explained anyways.)

That obsession can be about a tv show. You try your very best not to miss any episode of that show and in the circumstances that you do, you feel really bummed out, like as if it's the end of the world already (well, for that particular day only actually).

Or the obsession can lie in one of your characteristics. For example, Monica from Friends, she's obsessed with cleaning (one of these days, I may need her around the house). And if she doesn't get to do that, she gets agitated.

Or maybe, you are just obsessed in being the perfectionist. This is quite dangerous you know, because you can't control everything. There will be days when things don't go as per normal and what are you going to do when that happens?!

One thing that I learn about perfectionists is that, they like being in control and they would like to stay that way. That's why when things don't go as planned, they feel disappointed and angry because they aren't in control anymore. And that just sucks!

People like to get their presents on their birthdays (ok atleast I do). So when a birthday celebration that was being planned goes cuckoo, the planner (who happens to be a perfectionist) goes upset! And this is not anybody's birthday we are talking about, it's the mother's birthday dammit!

Curses to Metro who just HAD to be closed to public on my mother's birthday.
Curses to that Bata shop who didn't have my mother's size.

Sigh, I shall just keep my fingers crossed and wait for Sunday and hope that things will turn out better :)

Swooning over nothing, swooning over you

HAMIDAH! Check this out!

Me. Smitten.

Bang the head at the count of 3

Prison Break is getting real TMTH. It's so complicated now that I had a headache yesterday while watching (NO KIDDING!).

The show should just have ended when the boys got Scylla. And Don Self shouldn't have been a bad guy. He should have helped them destroy the Company and later freed the boys, as promised. But NOOOO! Everything is such a mess now.

Frankly, I don't even know what the hell Michael is doing, and that guy is supposed to be the main character! Dammit, I'm losing the touch man.

PB needs to take a chill pill and slow down for awhile. Let the season end later, I don't care. Just make sure that each episode is in slow motion now, so people like me can finally grasp it. If not, I have to resort to texting Farhana (who doesn't watch anymore, because it's too complicated for her) and Mira (who doesn't get it either sometimes). I try not to text Sakinah because that woman always give me more spoilers.

Michael's going to die eventually. We all know that. But I think the ending of the season will be extremely sad. I came up with a theory while talking to Mira just now. The ending should be like this (in order to make suckers like me cry buckets, that is):

1) Christina tries to shoot Lincoln
2) Michael protects Lincoln and gets shot instead
3) Christina goes "NOOO, MY SON!" (something of that sort)
4) Lincoln gets angry (as usual) and shoots Christina
5) So Michael and Christina both die
6) Sara, who is expecting, will give birth to Michael Scofield II and the whole thing continues

Oooohhh...
Ah, leave it to me to create the most dramatic scenes ever. Though I must say all these drama has so much to do with the Bollywood influence.

PB is such hard work now. I really can't wait for it to end.

P/S. Christina should go "Nahin!" instead. That would be classic.

So this is what happened today...

Customer: Hey have you worked at the Great World City outlet before?

Me: Yeah, but that was quite some time ago.
(thinking: why can't he just take the ice-cream and leave me alone?)

Customer: Yeah! I remember you. You helped me out the other time *smiles*

Me: Are you sure that was me? Coz I've only worked there ONCE and that was a year ago.
(thinking: he's got to be tripping man!)

Customer: Of course I'm sure. I remember those eyes of yours. *smiles*

And with that, I smiled awkwardly and pretended to laugh at his comment and served the next customer.

Seriously, why couldn't he have been Shah Iskandar or someone as good looking?

Oh I want to go for KFC breakfast! Anybody who is able to wake up early and wants to eat the breakfast, please ring me (:

She probably won't read this, but heck.

Happy 24th Birthday Makcik.

Mira, I tell you, she better like the purse man.

Flo Rida Featuring Wynter Gordon - My Lips Like Sugar [VIDEO]

I'm really not a fan of Hip hop videos because I think they portray women in a really bad way.

That aside, thanks to Beverley who kept singing the "My lips like sugar" line RIGHT IN MY FACE, I'm now addicted to this song.

Dance my heart away

Today was like a 1 year reunion for Hafi, Nan, Farhana and I.

First, Hafi and I worked together again after one year, because she had school all this while.

Second, I was very (VERY) late for work again, and left poor Hafi to set up the shop herself again.
Third, Farhana and Nan dropped by the shop when Hafi and I were working again.

So yeah, all 4 of us, in one venue at the same time, after one year.

It's like dejavu or something. I swear it's a sign, though I'm not sure what. Wow, it's like supernatural!

Or dang, maybe it's just a big coincidence. Hmm, but I like to consider it as supernatural. It's more exciting that way, haha.

Oh oh! Guess who bought a Michael Jackson album! ME!

Hah, omg I can't believe I'm excited about this. So yeah, went to HMV with Nan and Joline after work and I decided to buy the MJ compilation album because first, I think that's better than buying just the Off The Wall album and second, it's because the shop didn't have the Off The Wall album (heh).

And I even got a free MJ poster!

I'm so borrowing the album from the father on Saturday and bringing it to work so I can blast it at Ben & Jerry's. I already warned Alex because she wasn't too cool about it. I don't really care really, it's going to be my one day of indulgence in MJ's music :)

I can't believe I'm this excited about MJ suddenly. But I'm sure it's just a phase, like the American Idol phase. This will last for a week (or two) and then I'll move on to something else.

I CAN'T WAIT TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM!!

Shit, I'm gone.

Last, but definitely not the least, check this out.

Thank you so much jaan!

A friend (I forgot who really) told me that she didn't eat the gingerbread-girl that I once gave it to her because she keeps it for memory sake. She also added that it's too pretty to be eaten.

I'm sure even if she tries to eat it today, it won't taste as nice. So I decided to eat this cookie TODAY! Hope you don't mind jaan. I mean, it's cute and all and I appreciate it, but a cookie is still a cookie right? I have to fulfill the cookie's purpose, which is to be eaten! And what can I say? Sedap siol!

Anyways, if you really want to talk about memory sake, for one, I have this photo. Or...oh I know! Why don't you get me a cookie every other week so my memory will always be refreshed? Heh, I like this idea better :)

Lenka - The Show

This is simply a feel good song! And I think the whole video is really cute and adorable, haha. And she is quite pretty.

Sigh, I can listen to this all day. Thanks jaan for sending me the song :)

Sit on the roof and count the stars

Sorry Mira, it's time for my indulgence in Bollywood again. You should start getting influenced, you know. It will make our lives easier :)

So anyways!

I've lost count on the number of times that I've watched this movie. But I seriously doubt that I've watched it more times than I've watched other classics such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

I think this movie is slowly inching to be one of my favourite Hindi movies of all times. The dialogues are fabulous, the actors are awesome and the storyline is still considered typical romantic for Hindi movies, though with a modern twist to it.

I seriously think that the director of the movie, Imtiaz Ali, was somewhat influenced by the whole "Raj-holding-his-hand-out-to-Simran-so-that-she-can-catch-the-train" thing in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (omg these Hindi movie titles are so fucking long!).

I mean seriously, the photo above is such a give-away la!
But I like this scene better in DDLJ. Duh, nothing can beat a Shah Rukh-Kajol pairing. Like nothing, ever!

Can you believe how sweetly they posed for this photo even after breaking up? Yup, these 2 used to be lovers for like 4 years, and somewhere during the course of making the movie, they broke up. And they still continued filming for the movie. Professional man!

I think unmarried couples should never make a movie together. The movie's either going to be a big flop (remember Kyun...!Ho Gaya Na?) or the couple is going to break up afterwards (remember Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam?) Maybe it's just a jinx in Bollywood, who knows.

How can I end this post without mentioning how cute Shahid Kapoor is right? So, yes Shahid is cute in this movie. Atleast you have to agree on that Mira. But I am actually more impressed with his acting skills in this movie. Makes me believe he's not just a pretty boy/awesome dancer only, you know.

Do all the Michael Jackson tributes just have to be on Prison Break slots?! Are you fucking kidding me?!

People are still paying tributes to Michael Jackson. Hasn't it been 2 weeks already?

Ah, but then again I'm actually one of those people who are only starting to pay attention to his music now. I even stayed up in the wee hours to watch the memorial ceremony yesterday (thank God, I wasn't working the following day).

Soon, this whole hype will die and then everybody else will move on with their lives. People will continue to buy all sorts of nonsense magazines and believe all the rumours. Paparazzi will constantly follow the celebrities and flash their personal lives. And then, one day maybe, all these will drive another celebrity crazy and he/she will die.

And the whole routine will continue itself.

Ah, drama. All I need to keep myself going.

Oh my father just mentioned that he wants to buy the Off The Wall album. And I willingly (not to mention, rarely as well) offered my service. I think I will get it from The Cd Shop one of these days at Raffles City. Afterall I am entitled to 10% discount :)

Ohmybloodycuckoonathan! Kevin Jonas is engaged?! WHAT!

.......................*Shimah is currently speechless*

She thinks she is just pms-ing. She has to be. Because if it's not pms, she thinks she is slowly on her way to self-destruction. Yikes, not good not good!

She used to be Dr Love. Providing answers to other people's questions used to be real easy. But when it comes to one self's life (though we aren't exactly talking about love life here) it can get real tough. That's why she needs a Doctor herself.

And she thinks talking in third person can be considered somewhat denial, but she likes talking like this now, haha.
