of easter weekend, relatives, the fact that i can now touch my toes YAAY, insomnia and horny cats...

i had a pretty interesting weekend, i'd say.

i can barely keep my eyes open, but it was interesting.

it all started on friday night, when uncle joe calls from amsterdam and says their plane had issues and wasn't able to take off. they were supposed to meet sunita in the airport, as her flight was supposed to arrive half an hour later than theirs, but they actually didnt get here till almost twenty-four hours later.

so anyway.

on saturday morning after sleeping late, i was woken up by an alarm i didnt set and horny cats. i get up to turn it off, leave the light on in the process, and crawl back into bed thinking my mum was gonna turn it off. a couple of minutes later, i realize that she isnt, and i have to get up again. the cats were wailing, and annoying the hell out of the dogs. i tell myself violence isn't really my kinda thing, and i try to make peace with the situation.

i give up and go to mum's room.

there, the birds are at it.

when you wake up to birds chirping, it's really pretty and beautiful and all that jazz...but when all you wanna do is get back to sleep, it's about the most annoying thing in the world. i then start sneezing cuz mum's room smells of lavender, which my nose evidently doesn't like very much.

i get up and make my way back to my room. the cats are stil at it, and after a while, i get up again.

this time, i walk downstairs, and stand in my kitchen, staring at the locked back-door and wondering what the hell i'm gonna do to shut the cats up.

my mind goes blank, and i walk back up the stairs. i stand in the hall.

on my left i hear the blasted birds who are dead set on waking up the entire world.

on my right i hear the blasted cats who are dead set on keeping the entire world up.

eventually, i settle for my room and fall asleep again.

i wake up and have breakfast with my jet-lagged cousin, whose sleepiness rubs off on me.

later after yoga, i made a discovery.

I CAN TOUCH MY TOES!!!

yes, this is a big deal, cuz before, i couldn't without bending my knees, and this really annoyed me. i was so happy, i could've told the whole world, really. =D

saturday night i watched a fabulous (i don't know how this is spelt and can't be bothered to look it up) episode of QE, gave up trying to read Queen of the Damned (i'll just get the movie), i listened to music, and still sleep eluded me for ages.

sunday i woke up to find another cousin sprawled on my couch with two pillows over his head - quite amusing, really =) , luggage all over my hall, an aunt fast asleep, and my fridge + freezer completely stuffed with everything from cheese to giant easter eggs to rösti to giant legs of lamb. sunday was easter, and we had lunch / a birthday party, then later the bunch of them left for china.

tomorrow is the simple plan concert YAAY i can't wait!!

i need to sleep now *yawns*


song for today - beauty under fire by natalie imbruglia. this song is amazing, and it's got a beautiful video too. i
haven't listened to it for ages and did today thank heaps priya =D

book for today - i just started reading 'love struck' by melanie la'brooy and seriously, it's making me laugh like
nobody's business!! i love it, and i've barely begun!

why i think the fates are against me...

so anyway.

i've been looking for a pair of sandals for a while. i needed to chuck my esarli heels, even though i love them...okay, more like i love the fact i got them for 20 bucks!! what a steal!!!

so anyway.

the other day i spent hours in one utama looking for shoes. found nothing. the one pair i slightly considered wearing - surprise of surprises, they didn't have my size.

today i went to midvalley, and spent just under three hours looking for the elusive pair of shoes that didn't have fluff, fungus (don't ask), ribbons, lips, hearts...i could go on, but then i would just seem extremely picky.

which i'm not. really!

i did manage to find maybe three pairs of shoes that were okay. and yeah, you guessed it.

"sorry miss, we only have the size 4" --- do i look like i could wear a FOUR? i'm no tiny person!!

"sorry miss, we only have the size 9" --- do i look like i could wear a NINE? i'm no huge person!!

i even went back to esarli and attempted to buy the same pair of shoes. and no, lol....they didnt have my size in case you were wondering...

i did, however, manage to buy two pairs of socks. whoop-de-bloody-doo.

the fates are against me, dontcha think?

no?

how's this.

we were supposed to go to new zealand, right? what i was looking forward to the most was jumping off a bridge that was over a river.

we didn't end up going to new zealand. we went back to europe instead.

no bungy jump.

we were supposed to go to singapore in december last year for the wedding anniversary of my aunty and uncle. one thing i really wanted to do? the reverse bungy jump.

we didn't end up going to singapore. my aunty (another one) couldn't bunny-sit charlie cuz they were going away that weekend, and my mum's car was acting up.

no bungy jump. or reverse bungy jump, rather.

then, we were supposed to go to phuket. this i couldnt wait for. i've been wanting to go to thailand for aaaages. i was looking forward to this HEAPS. one of the pros? they had a jungle bungy jump thingy.

we didn't end up going to phuket. two weeks before we were supposed to leave, the stupid mondo wave had to come and ruin everything and kill innocent people and...yeah.

no bungy jump.

somehow, i think that this is more than a freaky coincidence.

are they telling me i should just settle for sky-diving or white water rafting or something?

talk to me - clotho, lachesis, atropos. whatdya want???
