I cant believe i am sitting in front of my Mac and typing this now.
Just landed myself at KLIA yesterday at about 2pm after a very tiring 16 hours flights from London to Abu Dhabi to KL. And i did my best by not sleeping until about 10pm tonight all because i wanted to fight the jet lag.
And then for some unknown reason, i am awake now at 5am after only a mere 7 hours sleep! How did this happen when i can sleep for more than 12 hours a day?! Especially i didnt catch any sleep during that 16 hours long haul journey?!
Well seems like i cant really beat jet lag eh, especially when the body clock is pretty screwed up after being in vancourver, which was 16 hours behind Msia time, to London, which was at another time zone entirely. The worst thing was, when i got back today, i couldnt even tell which day and date i was in!
But the holidays was fun though. London was great! Boxing day was crazy and the discounts were unbelievable! The best of all, watching the football game between Arsenal and Aston Villa in the stadium with the real fan was a remarkable experience! During that short 100 minutes, i turned myself into an Arsenal fan! haha
Thats all for now before i blog more on the trip. Maybe i should go for dim sum now...

Bye Bye Vancouver, Hello London!
It's Xmas eve here in Vancouver!
The weather is perfect! Though it was -1c in the morning but snow didn't come and the Canadians are happy. All because when it snowed few years ago during Xmas eve, the streets were deserted as people spent their day in doors and last minutes shoppings were a hassle. Today since the weather is excellent, we can still see lots of them out in boutiques grabbing stuffs before the night.
As for us, we had a good breakfast in the hotel and went for a walk until we reached downtown where all the shoppings are. Managed to grab something from FCUK where the sales deal is amazing! Got myself a pair of jeans for only 28 dollars! Hehe. Later on we even managed to grab the best ramen in Vancouver for lunch. Yummy and authentic! Cooked and operated by Japanese. Not too bad to end this trip eh?
Anyways it's time to wash up and pack and off we go to the airport for London!
Hope we could all experience some snows there. Ciao!

The Girl Who Sold Matches
She thought they were all good after the ordeal.
But she got shove away from his life without notice.
Once again she was being abandon by him. She thought she was a stronger person but it turns out he could still hurt her so deeply.
And she returned to the place where they last exchnged their words, only to be reminded that she was forgotten and being threw into the alley of his past.
She knew they could never go back to where they were before. And she cried in her heart and to me again. All she wanted was to be treated like a friend by him again. But she knew she will not be granted that wish for she is not important enough for him, not before and not now.
May this Xmas brings you an angel to cleanse your heart and memory, and a better tomorrow when you wake up.. You deserve much better my dear. Merry Xmas to you.

Regards from Vancouver everyone!
It's freezing cold here but Vancouver is such a pretty city. Especially during Xmas season when everything seem so calm and serine. Xmas carols fill the air and peopla are busy doing last minutes shoppings for and with their love ones.
As for us, we saw snows, slept on it, been through the harsh winter mornings, as well as the experience of putting heaps of warm clothings on ourselves. The holiday in Vancouver will come to an end by tomorrow before we head over to London for Xmas. Heard it's gonna be a white Xmas fir the British this year. How nice!
Ok folks, time to finish upmy cup of coffee in starbucks and try out the ore Xmas sales shopping!
Tat and Merry Xmas to all!

Tegas.Teguh.Berhemah
I had a lovely lunch with my friend at Mont Kiara today. All went well until i stepped on the paddle on my way home and i was stopped by a bunch of police.
Yep, i was caught speeding!
So i stopped a side and winded down my window. A police came to me with a "gotcha-speeding" look.
"Cik nak pergi mana?"
"Nak balik rumah saja tuan."
"Nak balik rumah... tapi sudah over speed limit la. Cik pandu 96km."
"Bagi lesen memandu"
So i obediently took out my purse and pulled out my license.
" Tamat tahun 2012.... tinggal di PJ ke?"
"Ya tuan.."
" Macam ini bagi saman boleh?"
"Boleh tuan..."
At this point, i was a bit slow at my reaction. I watched him took my license and then flipping through his summon book trying to write something.
And then i was asking myself should i plead for help? But somehow i didnt. I was still slow at my reaction. I just watch him took away my license and walked away to the back of my car. Should i still plead? Nah i thought since i was at wrong, then i should pay for my wrong doing. At that point, i saw my 200 buck flying away from my wallet, picturing muself queuing up to pay for the summon, me going to the bank to withdraw money...... And the police walked back to me.
"Ok la tak apa, pergi la!" he handed me back my license and shot me an unsatisfying look.
"Pergi sekarang!" he cant wait for me to go because there were more cars coming to park at the side.
So i took my license and drove away. During my journey back to my house, i cant help but kept thinking why he didnt give me a summon. The funny thing is this is not the first time this happened to me. This is actually a second time. My first time was 2 years ago when i was rushing to my office because i was late in the morning. And when the police wanted to give me a summon, i actually agreed and even wished he could speed it up. But all the time he was just lecturing me about driving safely and blah blah blah.... At the end after 5 minutes of lecturing, he passed me back my license and let me loose.
I thought i was lucky then. But now this is the second time. I am sure it's not about luck. And all of a sudden, i thought i know why. The only reason i was let loose both time must be the operations were not legal. If they have not given the permission to set up a speed trap and road block, that means they were not supposed to give out any summons at that time of the day and at the location. Maybe that was why he was reluctant to summon me and let me loose.
Tegas. Teguh. Berhemah!
That says so much!

Me No LV Fan!
I was wrong! I was so wrong! At those time while she was telling the truth, i though she was just being modest and trying to hide her true desire.But i was wrong!
Now when we were in Italy many years ago, we were too broke to afford any shopping so we left Italy without buying any so called "cheap" LV. And she said she wasnt even interested in LV at all. I thought there was a little disappointment in her eyes.
Now that i have stronger earning power, i thought i wanted to fulfill her dream to at least own a LV. Since i could not afford a bag, i decided to buy her a purse instead. It will still be a LV nonetheless! So i went KLCC, swiped my card, felt i lost an arm and a big hole in my pocket after that but was feeling great because i knew she would be excited when she sees her Xmas pressie.
And i gave her the XMas pressie yesterday, and she said "I am not a LV fan" bluntly. I almost wanted to faint!! I should have trust her when she said she wasnt into LV. Should have bought her Chanel or Dior instead!
Em...maybe i can take the purse back and ask for a refund? hahah but she refuses to give me back the purse... perhaps she still loves it secretly!

They Are Gone! OMG!
During that time, Kota Raya was like the place to meet up because all buses will stop there. So normally my ex boyfriend and i will agreed to meet at the front door of Kota Raya at a certain time and whoever reached first would have been standing at the stairs and eyes kept wandering among the crowds, looking out for the other. And i still remember what i would say when he was late, i would have shot him a dismayed look and said bitterly, "YOU ARE LATE!". And if i was the one who was late, i would have ran as fast as possible to the front door and apologised. Of course he would have gave me a not-to-worry look and said "It's ok, i just reached too."
Since we have not much money to spend during that time, what we used to do were just walking around in Kota Raya, then proceed to Sin Ma to read some free comics, or grab a show at the Rex theater situated at the top floor of Kota Raya, or went walking around in Petaling Street, sometimes in Popular bookstore, sometimes just wandering around until night fell. Then we would just went for some delicious food from the stalls in Petaling Street. By the time the date was over, we would have to go back to Kota Raya front door to catch a bus back. And the cycle continued for a couple of years until he was old enough to get a car license.

Yesterday i decided to visit Kota Raya again to buy manga comics. Like i said Sin Ma used to be the place for all the comics available in the market and you can basically get any comics there. To my horror, whole Sin Ma is now closed!! I was dumb folded! So i walked around Kota Raya trying to see if any of the shops might have shifted from Sin Ma to Kota Raya. No Lucky!
Walking around, i notice so much has changed. Kota Raya is still crowded but the crowd has changed to a composition from foreigners and they are mostly from Indonesia. Those shops that are familiar to me are all close. Even the cinema is no longer there. I feel like i was walking down the memory lane that is getting blur and changing. For a second it was some part of my memory and feeling was being snatch away and refill by these new images i was seeing.
Anyway i continued my search to Petaling Street and i found a comic shop. After some time of shopping, i didnt get anything good. I wanted to buy those comics that i used to love so much when i was younger but could not afford. Now that i could, i am trying to fulfill this dream of mine to own them but they are no longer available. At the end, i went home with a white christmas tree in my hand and a sense of loneliness.
Anyway, luckily the xmas tree looks great! At least that cheer me up a little.
Meryy Xmas and a Happy New Year too everyone!
