"Some days"

Was up till three baking cheesecakes while listening to a CD from last summer. There's nothing quite like digging up CDs from certain periods in your life; each song brings forth memories of particular incidents and mishaps, sometimes dragging tears from the bottom of your soul, sometimes wringing laughter from within.

Received a last minute call for a dinner get-together with the guys on Saturday, and everyone piled into the vehicle of death with yours truly at the wheel. Andrew and Steve were trailing in our wake, and according to the guys, I make up with guts (or as I'd like to call it, recklessness) where I lack skills, hiaks. To quote Rudy, "Beware the blue Matrix" :P Had a typical chinese dinner at some restaurant on Jalan Ipoh before we adjourned to Merv's for a couple of games of mahjong. I played a dismal game, meh.

We had a super fancy lunch buffet at Shangri-La's Lemon Garden Cafe with Merv, Wan Yee and Karen on Monday. Andrew and Azuan couldn't join us because of work commitments, but we managed to persuade Wan Yee to forgo propriety for good food and great company, stretching his usual lunch hour to three ;D (Hey, it was a great meal, you have to admit that!). It was really nice to catch up with Karen, whom I haven't seen in years. Colin was working, so he sneaked out some extra treats for us, including a lychee tart and some super yummy handmade chocolates. My brother rocks ;D Unfortunately, thanks to that particularly expensive meal and crazy-ass parking fees, am nice and broke, which doesn't bode well since Christmas is just around the corner.

I can kiss my digital camera goodbye if I'm not careful.

Merv and I headed to Karen's in Hartamas after lunch to check out her new business and yak a little more before taking off. While hunting for a parking spot, there was a green Honda in front of me that was taking forever to circle the lot. Then the idiot had the unbelievable nerve to dig around for his cell phone to make a call! Merv started egging me on to lean on the horn, and I did so for a couple of pissed off/rude seconds but right after I lifted my hand off it I thought the licence plates looked familiar, and at the exact same moment my phone started to ring, I realized that it was Kai I was losing my temper at, ahaha! See Kai, I always told you if I ever saw you on the road I'd hate you ;P

The family's been taking turns in catching the flu, and after dodging illness for a while it was my turn this week, complete with cough, runny nose and sore throat. Thanks to an OD on vitamins and medication, am feeling much better, albeit still slightly woozy. We've also been taking turns cleaning the house, seeing as the maid's gone. With all this going on, the books and my reading spree have been put on hold.

Got to catch up with Shean last night; he'd just returned from a trip to Egypt with his family the night before, and we just chilled while updating each other on happenings and the details of his trip. Actually, will be heading over to his place to watch some movies, burn some CDs and just waste some time later.

I've been volunteered out for tutoring, counselling and stuff. Not that I mind, but sometimes, I'd like to be consulted first before being sent out to do something which I'm not sure that I can. After all, I think I'm the last person anyone should turn to for words of wisdom in regards to life and love, parenting and sex.

I guess I'm just bloody angry at times.

Dinner date with sooks, walla! Two sickies out to spread illness and runny noses, all in the name of Christmas. Hey, they don't call it the season of giving and sharing for nothing ;P

I can almost anticipate a blue vehicle crashing through the window right now. Even on the 42nd floor. :P
