Lady #1

Joanna Wang

Thanks to Mrs Foo, I’m now listening to the wonderful sounds of Joanna Wang (Album: Start From Here). She’s a Taiwanese artist who’s based in California (if the information I gg-ed is correct) and is just extremely pleasant to listen to. If you enjoy listening to Norah Jones, Corrine Bailey Rae..then you’d love Joanna Wang.

Roberta FlackLady #2

I bought the Best of Roberta Flack. Mum adores her stuff, Dad told me he used to listen to her when he was younger on his old record player. They still listen to her now, but on our burn-your-own CDs. Roberta Flack is one that I would dish out RM43.50 for, and it’s worth it. how can anyone not love “Feel Like Making Love” “The First Time I Saw Your Face” or the classic “Killing Me Softly”

Lady #3

What I picked up at Kinokuniya for my reading pleasure last weekend. She’s amazing.

Aspa & Wan turns 27

Just got back from Aspa and Wan’s b’day dins (belated for Aspa, pre celeb for Wan). We made reservations at Neroteca, but after finding out that almost all the dishes were non-halal ( it was either suckling pig, pork ribs, or suckling pig sumore haha), we headed out to 21 (again!..we’re forever there whenever we’re at Changkat) At 21 I ordered the same dish again,chicken with creamy mash.. Elsie ordered the duck salad which was super nice, next time I’m having that.

Oh before that, when we arrived at Changkat, we saw a Ferrari pullover at Somerset, and we were wondering if it was Wan & Zul, it was them! they decided to take the red horsey out!Supern delish! Wait, i’ll post up some pics once Jimmy uploads em. only now I sedar my pic with the Ferrari takde, Elsie and Aspa got. damn la!

Anyways, we had the funkiest b’day cake, thanks to Mrs Foo. Cake was extremely whimsical, imagine stripes and polka dots on a cake. again wait till Jimmy uploads the pics. I know, I’m the photographer, but got no pics, off duty k. Note: Jimmy’s Canon is super cool. and I so tak tahan with Jimmy’s rule: If anyone deletes their own pics from his camera, cos their picture cacat or whatever, he wont take their pic again. Cannot tahan! I hate it when my pics tak jadi, so I like to delete the cacat ones, but cannot la with Jimmy’s camera..;p sigh

anyway,Aspa and Wan lovvedd the cake. yeay! all of us adored the cake so much that we  tak sampai hati to cut it up. cake got the attention of the other patrons at 21 as well hehe.

Well the night ended early, 12ish.. cos Wan has to get ready for her house global warming tomorrow – not a typo, Wan wants to call her house warming, house global warming, dont ask me why ;p That reminds me, need to get something as buah tangan, unfortunately I cant make/cook anything, except for chicken pie which my aunty, Sarah taught me how to make a few years back, but am too malas, so I’ll pick something up on my way to her place.

So that’s a wrap, Aspa and Wan’s party down..a few more to go this year. Now, am gonna catch up on some reading, then go to sleepppp.

Blah!

Am in a pair of shorts that I bought at Blue Ribbon, Hartamas (I think it’s called Blue Ribbon, had to fight off Elsie, cos she wanted the same shorts ;p) and a vintage tee that has Rolling Stones on it, sitting in front of my lap-t… been surfing aimlessly, and decided to feed my poor blog that has not been fed for a while now.

What to write? hmmmm..

I’m in the midst of looking for an apartment to purchase, cant believe I’m old at that age where I can actually consider purchasing property..scary but exciting. I need to find a nice apartment (by nice I mean amongst other things; not in a dodgy area, not a pigeon hole) and of course the ka-ching that I’m gonna have to dish out for it will have to match the depth of my pocket ;p So apartment hunting is on Nadia’s to do list. That reminds me, I need to speak to Jel and Hariah, I know they were house hunting, and I bet they’ve got tons of info up their sleeves.

My room’s in a bit of a  mess, cos I’m cleaning out my closet for clothes to give away, some shoes and bags as well.

Am also looking for a slim, reliable, digital camera that I can carry around with me all the time. Why? Cos my phone, the Nokia 6500 classic, is slim, sleek and all, but the camera sux! And I am such a shutter bug, hate missing those Kodak moments. Guess a trip to Low Yat will be happening soon.

I enjoy listening to Hujan – although I’ve only heard two of their tracks, Aku Scandal and Pagi Yang Gelap ;)

Watched Catch and Release some nights ago. Another romantic comedy. Nice – it’s funny how you find love in the most extraordinary circumstances. Yea, what’s up with me and romantic comedies eh? dunno la, beats me ;p

It’s Monday tomorrow, the start of another brand spanking new week. I hope it’s spanking alright, and hopefully there’s some goodies in store for me this week hehe.

Okay la, that’s that. Enough of me rambling on random happenings.
