upon reviving this blog i feared i wouldn't be able to keep it up very long.
but for the past 2 weeks or so however, to my surprise, i've been posting like 5 posts in 7 days?
i was like
YEAH BABY, I'M ON FIRE!now i find myself at a loss again. the heck.
so i'm just going to say whatever comes to mind lah.
so today right i was in megamall. dad and i were passing through jusco, and upon descending an escalator we saw like a GIANT THRONG of people crowding around a random space, and some dude's voice over the amplifier thingy yelling, like pasar. in the middle of a department store. wondering what was going on we went nearer to take a look. then in the occasional, rarely emerging gaps between aunties crammed shoulder to shoulder, i caught a glimpse of an arm strung with 4 handbags.
it was handbag happy hour! :Dbenedetti polo handbags going at 80% discount, all for an hour only. remembering mom needed a new handbag, dad asked me to go and snatch a few options also. so i squeezed my way in and omg,
FREAKING WARZONE, I SWEAR.
these aunties damn ganas man! mun hak hei one! all you see are lots of hands sticking in the pile, grabbing and tossing, seriously like bloody lou sang like that, and laser eyes scanning the pile like mad scavengers.
and every 2 minutes or so, some guy will come with a giant box and yell EXCUSE ME STOK BARU and for about 5 seconds most of the hands will retract and he will pour a new box of bags into the pile and all the hands will start jabbing in again.
if you think aunties = lembik YOU'RE WROOONG.
it was total madness. one time i came out of the crowd to show daddy my pickings and we'd rate them together, and when i tried to force my way back in i had to attempt like 6 times from 6 different directions. fighting with aunties damn tiring man. duwan to be rude also cannot. i say excuse me no one choi me lol.
in the end, sweating slightly (in a mall!) i emerged with a few selections and dad and i settled on 2, one for me one for mom. mine was 179 bucks discounted to 36 bucks, mom's was 199 discounted to 40 bucks.
mine looks like this
only mine is new and in black, because i don't trust myself with white lol
cannot find one that looks like mom's, but we found her something simple and classy la.
so yeah, that was my friday afternoon, originally intended for studying. shit lah.

i think i'm getting old.
not in the white hair and wrinkles kinda old (though my joints always pain, like old creaky bones) but in terms of taste, percept, mindset and things like that.
i used to hate olives, now i love em. i hated bittergourd, lady's fingers, mustard, garlic, ginger, flat pumps and now i love them all. i don't like soft drinks (unless i'm really hot and sweaty, then its awesome) don't like fast food, don't like candy (haven't outgrown chocolate and ice cream though) i freakin snack on dried fruits, and drink chinese tea by the gallons. see. i eat old people food.
when i was working at reception of my ballet centre, i got to talking with quite a few parents. once, i spoke to this mother who was in advertising, whose daughter is now a friend of mine (summer gan, if you're reading this), and at the end of our conversation she asked me how old i was. when i told her i was 16, she was in shock, she said i sounded like i was 60.
what's wrong with me man, seriously!
and now i think of it. right now, i basically listen to three people alot.
john lennon,
freddie mercury,
and jason mraz.
out of the three, 2 died before i was even born.
should i be worried?
