Daisypath Anniversary Years Ticker
Lilypie First Birthday tickers

Monday, June 04, 2007

It's been ages since I did a proper update. So today, I shall just do some Monday morning ramblings.

We watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3 on Saturday at TGV (I always feel a certain sense of achievement whenever I get those RM6 earlybird tickets - I mean, think about it, most movie tickets nowadays cost RM11 per person on a weekend!). Anyway, RM6 was about what the movie was worth. No spoilers because the movie wasn't fantastic enough to garner a long review. Pirates 2 was much better. However, I liked that this one had an ending, a proper one. So if you haven't watched it, stay until the end of the credits for the proper ending.

And this Friday, I shall be bus-ing it down to Singapore for the Great Singapore Sale (they even have a website! and yes, the Sale apparently deserves capital letters). What I hope to buy : bedsheets (I heard they've good quality and designs at a cheap price there), shoes (at least take photos of some designs and maybe bring home to custom-make if the heels are too high), dress (yah, I got nothing to wear! haha), and my normal Singapore-pilgrimage-intake of Tony Roma's delightful pork ribs and the fishball in Tangs marketplace - yum yumm. Believe it or not, in all my years of studying in Skudai, I never made it to the Sale. So, I'm rather looking forward to it (shopping is something I need to mentally prepare myself for, in order to garner maximum satisfaction).

I have also begun my 6-month pre-big day beauty treatments. But, to avoid sounding completely narcissistic, I am not delving into details. Suffice to say I do not hope to look any worse than now 6 months on (no I'm not doing plastic surgery or spending BIG money, so it's merely maintenance procedures, hah!).

Oh, and believe it or not, True Fitness is finally opened at Jaya33. The gleaming new machines are up and running (treadmills have no earphones though), the RPM studio is ready to torture, the changing rooms are big and BIG, and the whole place just reeks of new-ness. Work is still ongoing for the pool and the spa centre, but hopefully it should be ready by the official opening on the 15th. The classes aren't really properly scheduled yet, so I might just wait until the 15th before I go.

While checking out the gym, we dropped by to the Oriental Pavilion (just next to True Fitness). They were cleaning up from a wedding dinner the previous night. We met the manager who showed us the whole place and let us visualize the settings. We got a gripe though - because there are about 3 or 4 big pillars blocking strategic views of the stage. And, the place can only comfortably fit about 50 tables. So, I gotta start attacking the guest list seriously soon. Also, the manager mentioned they have 2 projector screens at the stage - so that's one thing off my venue deco list. However, because Jaya33 "reeks of new-ness", I'm pretty satisfied with the venue. Now, all I have to do is decide if I want it to be simple or elegant - with the former meaning plain, and the latter meaning one florist is getting rich.

You see, I'm prone to writing long boring essays when I feel like rambling, rambling being therapeutic and a better option than settling down to mountain-load of work on the desk. But, I guess I better get started if I wanna move that mountain. Heave-ho!
