Flashback

i know what you're thinking-effie's finally blogging again. yes, i finally got my lazy ass outta the CNY leftover nut shells and bits and plonked on the plastic chair lying infront of my lappy. yawn.
the late night no-sleeping bad habits are back again! shite. but thank god, my eyes are trying to shut itselves now. gotta wake early tomorrow and get myself prepared for lucy's lunch. busy day tomorrow!
oh ya, may the new lunar new year bring you much luck, great health, success and huge wealth! though some might think the latter tops their list of priorities- to get rich!
GONG HEI FATT CHOY!
though my choy ain't that good- not enough red packets! but lunar new year never fails to excite me. the dinner held over the eve of CNY, red packets, shopping(an excuse for us shopaholics) and dressing up in our new attire, gatherings(i don't really anticipate that, other than meeting up wit the coussies i miss) and food of cos!
it's not the bf question that i'm shunning away from, but rather questions like 'so what are you doing now?', 'what do you plan to do next?'. makes me feel all guilty about slacking my ass off at home. but on top of that, i got this really tough question from a distant aunt that i've never met before, this year. 'what do you plan to do in the future? what's your goal in life?' oh my, she really caught me dumbfounded. i was thinking, 'shite, what should i say?' hell did i hate that question. not only did it made me guilty, it made me feel hopeless. nonetheless, i ain't enlightened in any way after that. i just went around the next few days wit a toubled mind + heart. there's so many things that i wanna do but yet my mind tells me, ' hey, that wouldn't work for you. you ain't that talented.' maybe my goal is just to be happy wit life and do whatever i feel like. wait, is that even a goal? i better plan carefully. i hate entering adulthood!
anyways the past few weeks have been busy but great so far. you ask me what i've been busy with since i'm jobless? yeah, i've been busy jobless. keeping myself healthy with frequent swims, reading papers, being a couch potato, going out.... there's so many things to do, yet no time. days end abruptly. now, it's March soon. how time flies! especially the mad rush for last minute shoppings for the house and myself. phew!
i seriously apologise for not sending the peeks on time to my dear friends but darlings, please understand that using the lappy now ain't a habit of mine no more. i just ain't used to having enter the study room just to use the lappy. urgh.
i miss my own room where surfing is so easy. it used to be just enter main door, enter my bedrm, switch on radio, switch on lappy and then to the bathroom i go before returning to my sweet lappy. and my sis seems to have developed a keen interest in going online so that means,3 ppl fighting for access to the internet. grunt. i do not get to use it as and when i want to anymore. darn.
these peeks were all the way dated frm some time ago. newer peeks will be posted asap.
okay now, be good girls and boys and have yourselves a great lunar new year weekend.

goodbye phoenix

sis just came back from hk and she nearly got robbed at shenzhen. the chinese(from china) really are horrible. what with poor standards in food and other products, robbery, cheating, killing rage(to steal and sell internal body parts), etc. yuck. i think i never dare to step foot in shenzhen again.

her bag got slit open at the side. and 2 slits at that. think at that point of realisation really made her face turn green. according to her, the shop lady should have known that the girls around her were attempting to grab her stuff out from the slit. thank god, really. whatever they used(most prolly a knife), was super sharp. it actually cut through her pouch which was in the bag. lucky she brought a patent bag with lining in it otherwise, we pretty much know what will happen. so people who're travelling to shenzhen anytime soon, do be extra careful. better yet, don't bother visiting. hk has whatever you want from shenzhen, so don't risk it.

................................

the remaining few from the hk airport. why didn't they prepare more to cope with the overwhelming demand?! so glad that sis still got 'em for me(as i requested) although she said these flavors are boring.

yey! krispy kreme! it came with a luggage tag too. cool.

it might not look as appetising, bt that's the yummy durian paste. i couldn't get enough of it. fuck that cough.

a bulging tummy's worth it after savoring a huge lunch.

yes, good bye to the once ever popular Phoenix Hotel. goodbye to the coveted and award winning roti-prata. not forgetting the yummilicious durian cake, which is served as durian paste today. and of cos the other dishes(laksa,chicken rice) which made the buffet renowned to the food experts. sometimes i really wonder, 'what's spore's real identity?', 'what's the point of bringing everything down and reconstructing?','where's our history?'. all the memories gone done the drain, no thanks to these.

you say spore's materialistic and cold, i say yes. i think the whole spore went down to Phoenix Hotel over the few remaining days. the lunches and dinner were fully booked few days in advance and you see diners talking to the service staff, saying their last goodbyes. even i felt an indescribable sadness. don't know why.

let's visit the remaining glorious days before it closes it's doors for the day.
