Bachelorette Parrttaaayy!

Jessvin Bachelorette Party!First thing on my mind- What should I wear tonight???Gosh!I promised myself no shopping for another month!!NOW everything in my cupboard is wooornn...ermm...well that was an understatement...Half of the stuffs in there what resulted the self promise no more shopping!Stop...inhale breathout...yikes!I got so many impulse purchases that I never got around wearing. Nothing too sexy or inappropriate to office and everything sexy or appropriate to paaarrtaaay!Just add on a cardigan everything becomes so appropriate.Whoever invented cardigans, god bless them!

I  was seriously in no mood to work. Holiday mood already set in. Plus, its been some time since I let my hair down and relaxed with the girls. So waiting 8 hours was quite an itch on my bum=P.

Karen & Jusrup, picked me up from Avenue K before heading of to our dinner at Basil Leaf in Jalan Damai. After some drama with Google map, losing our way we finally reached the restaurant. It was really a well designed deco-ed palace. Pleasant atmosphere and dining at the patio was fun.Got the chance to meet some of Jessvin & Karen's colleagues. Awesome girls!The right crowd for a lovely girly night out. The food didn't do justice to the place actually. It was average and kind of over priced for your normal thai & vietnamese fair. We exchanged gifts as part of the plan. Got a lovely earing from Jesssvin which I wore the rest of the night. Hope Farah likes the gift she got(BodyShop merchandise). Most of the dinner was consumed with our noisy batters and heartily laughs; cam-whoring to the max. I think I'm partially blinded by all the flashes.Hehehehe...girls will always be girls wherever we are!Hard coded in our DNA I guess.

Time to get our booties shaking. So Envie Changkat here we come. Alas, Jusrup's car had other plans of its own, breaking down at the car park. Almost an hour plus, we were there, asking every possible passer-by if they have a battery  jump-starter. Basil Leaf manager was really kind, helping us out. Will definitely go there again just for the hospitality.  Finally we got her car started.Actually her cousin did.But problem solved!=P..Again Envie here we come!

Envie...Liked the deco sans the music & DJ. Wasn't the best music spin-ed I would say.(why was there a Justin Bieber song???*_*) Still we freaked out the dance floor. Busting the moves, Grooving to the music. Jessvin got treated free drinks twice. Talk about bride's luck. Hehehe..the last one was flaming something..Can't recall the name, a treat by some guys was cool. Control macho till she was out the place before going 'Its Hot!Burning!'hahahaha...
(Will Upload the pictures later.Very typical of me leaving my tumbdrive at Karen's hse...after coming back from Taman Negara)

Happy Hours =P - Work Hard and Play Hard

Well, I can consider myself lucky since this the first time such activity being organized by the company. And I have just joined them 3 months ago; technically I'm still under probation but still everyone was invited for Happy Hours with 'big family' last night. It was  a real 'HAPPY HOUR' at a place called Overtime Lifestyrle Center which is actually a cafe cum pub with life-band thing going on. Would you have guessed from the name that it was a pub? I was thinking maybe some nice quite place with good food. Boy was I in for a shocker! The moment I stepped into the place, everyone was trying to push a beer into my hand and going YAM SENG!Cheers!...errr...I can only go 'I don't drink beer?' with a blank face. The statement returned with an equal blank face and 'What are you talking about?Get one and CHEERSS!!'. Thank god, I had Wani & Kanchanah later joined by Putra, Hafiz & Anuar so all of us ended up having Coke on the Rocks=P. Later, unsatisfied we are not having beers, someone insisted handing us(Kanchanah and me only) a glass of beer. So it happens, all night long we had the same glass cheering with everyone and pouring them to another colleague's glass when noone's looking. Couldn't escape the vodka though! Anyway, it was fun especially because I got to talk to many of my colleague who at normal hours are too busy even to look up from their monitors. Jolly good fun actually!

Ignorance is bliss till curiosity gets the better of it...

The ability to be ignorant to everything unpleasant is a talent itself. By ignoring the part of life that brings unpleasant emotions and memories, one tend to look at life more optimisticly and live life  to love it without  complaining. I'm not talking about blind ignorance where you shut your eyes to the harsh realities in front of you or the vain ignorance that  brings more harm than good. But, the ignorance to emotions and experiences that you can live without if it brings happiness and peace of mind. And to be ignorant not an easy task itself. You are voluntarily choosing the path to turn your back to a chapter of memories and emotions. There is difference between forgetting and purposely ignoring something. One happens naturally and the latter happens only if you autotune your brain to achieve it. Just because you ignore it doesn't mean it doesn't exist or you care about it any lesser. You just happen to shield it away from you. To start ignoring is simple. Building the first barricades of ignorance is so easy that sometimes its annoying  to know something that meant so much can be set aside so effortlessly. The difficult part is to keep ignoring till it molds into your subconcious and naturally you forget about it. You can always easily turn your head the other side. But how long can you keep turning until curiosity catches up with you? The 'Just one glimpse...' notion nagging in your brain. Pull down the barricades and have look. That's when the blissfull ignorance you have been enjoying cracks. And you are forced to look at the unpleasants again. Even if its just a glimpse, all of sudden everything becomes real again. You find yourself starting from the scratch to ignore. Why am I writting about it? Last night I saw something that I chose to ignore. I should have kept on ignoring because I was  getting to the point of forgetting. Because of curiosity, I took a glimpse which brought back a flood of  ignored pain and anger. Mind you, it is the pain and anger of the knowledge I held rather than pain and anger toward the one who inflicted it. Neither am I, an ignorant fool nor a hypocrite who choose to be ignorant  only when it suits me. I ignore when I know its hopeless and worthless to dwelt on it. The emotions and the memories or in certain situations the person him/herself. If curiosity is my second nature. So is my laid back no nonsense attitude. Which is why ignorance comes easy for me. Till my curiosity gets the better of it!
