All I wanted for xmas is a new laptop which i been longing for the past 6 months.
and I got it! for a really good deal on day after xmas - Boxing day!!
it looks almost exactly like the laptop i used to have but bigger. Anyway thats not the hightlights of the day...I mean days....
Highlight #1 - Xmas eve
crazy intense last minute shopping (wallmart was opened 24 hours week b4 xmas), got all done in 2 hours, yummy big xmas dinner prepared by kenny, turkey, pastas, salmon and the whole nine yards. Nonetheless, besides food , of coz there were presents, they will sink the tree if it wasnt elevated. And the rush of ripping all them up one by one, ohh how i love xmas!
Highlight #2 - Xmas day
relaaaaaaaaaax, and guess wat? we finished the turkey right on xmas day !!! was hoping to have turkey sandwiches for whole week. But not a chance because it was so yummy!!
Highlight #3 - Boxing day
Digged and flipped the flyers b4 went to bed, woke up 5 in the morning and got our asses down to futureshop, got myself this awesome deal laptop Centrino duo core, 1G DDR RAM, 120GB 5.4krpm HD - just these 3 are worth getting up so early. When we got there around 6am, the parking lot was packed, saw ppls with sleepy eyes, probably still in their pjs carrying out boxes in their hands with messy hair. and there were only 3 laptop that i wanted left. and I felt conned because i had to pay 110 extra on top of the "special price" just because it was pre-setup!?! and i dont hv a choice. later of the day stopped by another future shop in langford and found out they dont charge the so called setup fees, WTF? so now i got two exact laptops sitting at home, but one cost 110 less than the other. Thank god for refund policy.
Hightlight #4 - two days later..
Furious about futureshop's money oriented management! brought the laptop back and they will not refund me the 110$ as claimed by "services are not refundable" in another words, pay us for the service and you will not get anything..I was furious! kept chanting the sentence in the customer service counter like a psyco b "there is no way im paying 100 something for nothing", Sabrina was running back and ford trying to make us -customers and the manager happy, why cant the bloody manager just show up and solve this thing!? too busy? i dont think so, i literally saw one wondering around the store aimlessly. anyway we settled for gift cards - do i need anything else from futureshop? no, do i want to ever shop there again? no! well...maybe next boxing day sale, mind me they DO have really good deals, otherwise peoples wouldnt camp overnight for that. I guess i could put up with that once a year :P
Overall, Im happy with my new baby :D

New born cover girl
"Slip on that color and sleek on that shine, you'll be shinning a really long time
dance! dine! have a vista! the old lipshine ? astala vista ~"
Guess who's the new cover girl? oh my god I closed my eyes and held my breath before Caridee's picture appear on the flat sreen, reason being? i really duwan that B**** melrose to win and honestly Melrose is very strong, i really thought she was gonna win.
Here are Eugena and Melrose - She kicked Caridee's ass on the ghost bride runway walk.
The reason she beat Melrose was because she is extreme! her personality just rock ~
But still, my all time favourite will still be Elyse Sewell from the very first cycle...

dummdeedumm
two weeks left before my xmas holiday, ironically, it actually feel kinda sad to be leaving work, 10 days holiday - 5 days of laziness - 3 days of working at the store = 2 days left to finish up two reports writing!!
But see , I planned ahead, instead of letting two reports piling up till the very last minute, i signed up for "lunch and learn" on the 19th, purpose is to push myself to start the research and survey earlier...So when it comes to compiling the report, I actually have all the information and power point slides, enough for me to get it going..
anyway, enough of the boring stuff...
something interesting perhaps?
We attended Schneider Christmas party last friday, i actually managed to fit myself into the dress that i bought god know how many years ago, which is my only so called "cocktail" dress... but during last min shopping for wei on thursday, i actually very tempted to get myself a real cocktail dress, but i know it just going to sit in the closet, perhaps wearing it once a year? or not even that...hmmmmm but they are so pretty though. Maybe next occasion...
I so regret that it actually didnt cross my mind to bring my camera and even when I was at the party - totally never thought of snapping pictures!? whats wrong with me? maybe i got too carried away with the food and fun games that was going on..we didnt stay for the dance, which i really wanted to but everybody at my table seemed to be taking off - is like...oh no more goodie bags to be given away, time to go!
Gordon got a 2G Ipod nano, I SO WANT THAT TOO!!!! hmmm jealousnya......
time to do some xmas shopping, but not today, tasks for today are: -
pooky beacon hill park (checked)
pooky bath + advantage day (checked)
clean the house (unchecked)
put away clean laundry that have been in the basket for two weeks (unchecked)
lay on the couch to watch ANTM C6 finale again! (optional....)
so bottom line, time to get my ass off this chair and start working!!
peace y'all!

Benjo - the champion dog
Karen Sargent called - theres a new born litter of little pookies, same parent. Thats a sign because the night before we were contemplating if we should get a puppy as xmas present for his parent.
So decision made, and we went to look at 15 puppies on sunday night, as soon as the door was opened, all the adult dogs rushed out and benjo (pooky's father) attacked him! pooky was yelping and crying for help, so darling picked him up, when i tried to pull benjo away to get him in the house, he turned around and bit me, left a bruise and a small bloody scar on my hand.
i was swinging my hand so hard coz it hurted so bad, first time ever in my life got bitten by a dog!! @^#&*%$&^@%!!!!! anyway benjo was punished and locked in the van. After an hour, we finally picked out this puppy which looked identical to pooky (and benjo too) when he was born.
ready and happy so we left, as i was running down the slippery ice slop clumsily, i fell and landed on my bum, this time it hurts even more!!! yea i know, what a day huh!?
yesterday night we got a msg from Karen saying that Benjo was killed and she would like to discuss something about the puppy we picked out. When we called her back, she was sobbing on the phone - Benjo was run over by a car and that pretty much paralyzed him, so he was put down. They wanted to keep the puppy because she looks very alike to Benjo, and we agreed to pick another puppy.
the scar and bruise are still in my hand, but the dog that did that is gone...it just this ironic feeling.. anyway Benjo hope you are happier wherever you are..

Random
Had a short chat with S, and suddenly, it hitted me ( once again) that my life had changed so much ever since I moved to Victoria. She had lived here for quite a few years and moved to vancouver...maybe is the city and more lively life style..she's happier there.. same for K, he claimed that travel 17 hours from another city to a completely different one doesnt change much compare to a two hours ferry ride to a small town.
I admit, it is pain in the ass, or rather a long time to get used to the slow "lay back" life style here..hmmm, maybe i should say is the ppls here, the sulee in klang/kl was the person always surrounded by frens, those that we only hang out and hv fun, or those that we hv heart to heart talk and cried together.. and it hitted me yesterday that over here..i have tonnes of frens to hang out and have fun, BUT those that we can open up, chat and share...zero!
mind me, im loving victoria, more and more...and i can see myself live here with my husband, children and pets for the rest of my life... Is it the place? the ppls? or is myself that is changing...I mean i used to be able to trust everybody and tell everybody everything about me! and slowly Im closing up...why? i dunno.....
I do share alot with darling, and he's always there for me, but it will be nice if i could have this gf to talk about girlie stuff, to share...and to cry together.... maybe the first thing i have to do is first to open up... S quoted that " it is better than to feel, lost than never get to feel at all", becoz ppl move in and out from this town so much, and it is hard to see another fren is leaving...Maybe she is right....
but, like what soprano always say : " what u gonna do? "
But for now, Family matters the most to me...
blood test this weekend, hmmmmm....
