Alright, I guess this is the time to write about this.


The recent passing of Yasmin Ahmad.


What do I think of her?


Well,


"She's a radiation of joy and positive energy."


While I don't always like her movies...I think she meant well. It's just that I can't really relate to her stories, and I know a lot of people can't too. So now, maybe, maybe I'll try to watch her movies again to see if my perspective has changed since she passed away. It's crazy, does it take someone to die in order for us to understand that someone? I've never ever known who she was, up until she died, and tv shows about her just popped out outta nowhere. Baru sekarang nak tribute la, ape la. Astro siap bukak satu channel khas untuk dia! WTF!


I'm not pissed, of course. I'm just annoyed about this fact...and I'm doing it too. I just realized that life is too fragile! She was having a meeting when she collapsed, and the next day she's gone! Argh!


Sorry this post has turned into a rant...sorry. All I wanna say is that, Yasmin Ahmad is a brilliant person and a very good daughter. She makes movies just to entertain her parents. I know I could never be her in respect to making my parents happy. I feel guilty that I burden my parents so much. I don't know why, but somebody inside of me just had to rebel. Degil, taknak ikut cakap mak bapak.


Um...so...yeah...it's raining now...huhu

I went window shopping today @ Midvalley. FYI Tuesday is my free day so it could also be called my retail therapy day :D


Went to the posh part of Midvalley = The Gardens Mall. Of course I didn't check out the super expensive branded shops...too scared and embarrassed la...I know who I am...hahah. I just went to Borders...finally! I don't have much money so I didn't buy any books, just Glamour magazine. Oh Sushi Zanmai and Art Friend is right next to Borders! Ahaha those 2 places are in my check out list. I went into Art Friend, but I didn't go to Sushi Zanmai coz I ate KFC already. I had the new one, Cheezy Chickaroni and it sucked! I'm so pissed that I didn't just order Spicy Chicken snack plate like I always did.


Anyways, today was quite fun just because I'm out of the room and walking around looking at nice things. Though I'm so exhausted, and transportations didn't go my way. But I know now what time I should wait for the bus and trains. Learned my lesson!


Items bought:
1. Elianto Eyeshadow Brush (thank god i didn't get influenced to buy other thangs)
2. SilkyGirl Lipliner
3. An earring from Sinma
4. Glamour magazine
5. Embroidery Hoop from Art Friend


Oh and Art Friend shop has so many things art related! I'm excited but I haven't really got into arts yet. I'll have to start studying arts now, ha ha! It has many types of paints, pencils, graphite, canvas, paper, felt, and even embroidery threads! Oh and I saw some pieces made out of...ugh whats it called?...uhhh kinda like porcelain...they are already shaped and carved, they have mugs, some unicorn, frames, plate, and lots more. There's a reason why I'm attracted to them. They reminded me of my childhood! Yes I remembered there was this kids art shop in my hometown, and they have A LOT of that stuff. And I loved them and asked my mom can I paint it? And it sorta became my hobby for a brief period of time. I painted them at the shop and added glitters and stuff. And I once asked my mom can I sprinkle the glitter on me and fly?? Haha that's from Peter Pan btw...Ah memories...too bad the shop closed soon after and I was sad that I can't paint the porcelains anymore. So that's my story. I'm excited that I finally found an art shop. These kinda shops are so hard to come by, you know. And now that I have my embroidery hoop, lets hope that I can start my cross stitch project with no problem sooooon! I just HAD to choose a BIG project as my first ever...huhhh.



edit: It's ceramics, not porcelain.. :P

Last weekend I went to Reject Shop at IOI Mall. Now they are having a massive sale! And to my surprise, they have much more clothes there compared to when I last went there. I saw a spongebob pants and I just snatched it in a second! It was toooo cute! It's like some kids sleeping pants but oversized! Hahaha I cracked up everytime I see it. Saturday night, I wore it and I can't stop giggling. Thats the power that spongeboop has over me!


I also found this corduroy jacket. And I've always wanted a jacket, so I'm excited that it had my size. So I bought it and the price tag said RM 30+. But when we paid, it stated RM 7!!! Whoaaa we asked the cashier if it's true...and she said yeah, coz it's on clearance or something...hahaha I was so happy! When else will I find something my size as cheap as this?!!! I'm thrilled...


So I'm loving my 2 new items right now! I just wish this country wasn't this hot...I cannot wear this without sweating like hell, unless it was windy or at night...haha.
