Nesting in Style
Hmm... I really want an apartment/condo/small house. Based on the current housing loan interest rates, the economy, and the rate at which I buy shoes versus my pay, I'll have a house in 2030... never.
So what shoud a gal do? Well, I've been reading all my favourite design blogs, and sighing dreamily for the past 48 hours. Amongst the gazillion beautiful things I found and really want(Read: Eames Hang-It-All!), I saw this cool Martha Stewart DIY project, which I think would be brill for an apartment balcony, or for framing off an area in any room.
Both images from Martha Stewart
“Geometric topiaries"
Light Columns How-To
1. Purchase a bamboo stick or dowel that’s 6 feet long and 1 inch in diameter. Drive the pole deep into the ground until it’s solidly anchored. Run a 50-bulb string of lights up one side of the pole and down the other, securing it with masking tape.
2. Stack paper lanterns (ours were 14 inches in diameter) over the stick. Secure the lanterns to each other with tape. Note: If you intend to place these fixtures by a swimming pool, it is imperative that you plug the lights into GFCI outlets and use extension cords approved for outdoor use.”

Thai messaaaaaaaaaage....
Alamak.. leaving PP soon. Just an hour before I gotta get on that ferry back to Ao Nang for our last night. *sniff sniff*
Been so happy that time has just zipped by. This time we did manage to take more photos, so giant pats on my back. :)
We really lucked out with brilliant accomodation here, only RM45 a night... Hmm..rather than drone on about my holiday here (when I'll be doing that in person)... I think I should stop here, and talk to Jason who's again holding onto his bottle of beer and smiling goofily at passersby.

Sawadeekaaaa !!!
We're now in Phi Phi Island (Jason's hugging his bottle of Chang beer and grinning cause its only RM3.50) and I'm blogging from our hotel, The White. Very Santorini-esque, heehee... all white!
So happy when I saw the water from the ferry, very blue as I hoped.
The weather has been very kind though Jason and I both have completely burnt shoulders.
I also fell asleep during my first Thai massage, too nice la...
I'm also sporting (kesiannya sudah chipped) barbie pink finger nails, and black toenails thanks to Krabi mani/pedis that only cost RM30!!! Planning to go again today!
Okla.. enough blogging.. more holidaying on the way

Improve your vocabulary with the Mean Girls DVD :)
The Mean Girls DVD contains the following interstitial program:
Regina: We do not have a clique problem at this school.
Gretchen: But you do have to watch out for "frenemies".
Regina: What are "frenemies?
Gretchen: Frenemies are enemies who act like friends. We call them "frenemies".
Karen: Or "enemends".
Gretchen: Or friends who secretly hate you, we call them "fraitors".
Regina: [rolls eyes] That is so gay.
Karen: [gasps] What if we called them "mean-em-aitors"?
Regina: [scoffs]
Gretchen: No, honey, it has to have the word "friend" in it.
Karen: Oh...

Neeyama... #$)@*#@)$*$&!!)#!@#*
I was a little bit suspicious when I went to the store in BVII and saw that the bikinis were made in Thailand... but then I put them on and I was in love.
Yes, it was RM99, but I thought "So pwetty!". (Black and white striped halter string bikini!)
So now its in a cute pink plastic bag on my bed.
Then I thought let's see what other people thought to that store's bikinis.
So I googled. I bloody found this bloody blog, the writer of which had just bought a bikini from the same place, and went to Krabi and found the exact same bikini for sale in Krabi for RM40!!! Neeeyamaaaaaaaaaaa.....
(Hahaha.. sorry J, I know you thought you got a nerd-nun gf who wouldn't swear often :P)
On the upside though, I managed to find a copy of "Wicked:The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of the West" for only RM39, I had only seen the RM70 copies in Borders.
I'm making J keep the book first cause I know I'll probably finish it by tomorrow if I could.
I'm also a huge fan of Duck King in Jaya One at the moment. Delicious roast duck pancake rolls reminiscent of the ones in London. *slurp*
The Starbucks there is also unbelievably cosy and has one of those cool American library desks.

Matter No. 8 on 08.08.08
Today was my long call! (v.v.v. ong date, plus I was matter no.8 which I hope will intensify my ong-ness in the future :)) I can't believe it.
It went by in such a blur. I couldn't sleep at all cause I was so excited. I woke up at 430!
Its just been one of those days that were perfect.
My Dad, Mom and Jia Xing were all there sitting in the front row in the gallery, beaming.
My darling boyfriend met me in the carpark with the most beautiful bouquet of lilies and the sweetest card. [I can't wait for his long call!]
My best friend woke up at 5 just to come today, and was all suited up!
Not to mention all my other friends who came today (without me even asking any of them to!) and the flowers some of my colleagues got me.
Most importantly, I had the opportunity to thank my Master who has just been wonderful to me during my entire chambering period. I seriously meant it when I said she inspires me, I certainly hope to be as brilliant a lawyer as she is, whilst still being a great person!
Now I'm simply basking in the joy of one who has realised her childhood dream!

God bless, young Hollywood :)
"If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody anymore, thank God; and evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue,"Chief William Bratton told KNBC-TV.
