Internet at home sucks over the weekend and even till last night.
Must be Starhub.
That is what happens when you take your pick based on cheapest cost - usually.
Not all cheap things are good.

The weekend was better than I had initially expected.
I had fun and was tired, so being grumpy to Lil' Sis did not help.
*I am sorry*

Internal business audit and compliance continues this week.
Expected to close all issues by tomorrow and gaps by year end to begin with a clean quarter.

Sounds busy huh?
But I can only be thankful that in times where the recession is kicking in, I am blessed with God's givings today.

Well, it was really one hell of a weekend.
The new maid that came last week has been nothing but easy-managed - so far.
I could wake up a bit later over the weekends since Nyai's changed early in the morning.

Yesterday, she packed for me fried rice with a nice sunshine egg for me to bring to work.
What was more cute was that while she helped prepare my meal during my shower, she wheeled Nyai to the kitchen so that she could still keep an eye on her.

Today I was late for my meeting because Nyai pulled out her tube again.
I had to rush calling nurses and find an available one to quickly fix in the tube for Nyai.
Again, she missed her 8am feed.

Saturday kicked off pretty well actually.
I decided to start scouting for a new watch since the watch that was presented to me 18 months ago got rusted.
I am a watch person and just gets lost without a watch which eventually made me a very kancheong spider person.

Apparently, I did not get a watch that day.
It wasn't a small amount to spend since I was planning to get a proper watch at the age of 26.
Plus it was my own money hoi!!
If it was my dad's money, I probably have eyed for an Omega with diamond numbers.. Sorry dad. *cute grin*

It was an easy day out in town and I love the background of this pic Lil' Sis took of me







Who could imagine a phone call changed route, course and direction.
Within an hour, I met my godsiblings and godma in town.
The next question that popped out was fantastic:
"So what are we going to do now?"

"Let's watch the sneaks for Twilight"
I, really could not wait to get my hands on it since I knew about the story line.
Of course being the eldest among the youths, my decision was always great
*ahem*

Within minutes, we had 6 tickets and 1 luggage for Nurul since she was going to Aussie for a year.
That was when everyone was warmed up for photos!











































My bodyguard for the day?







My super tall little brother standing 1.9m!!
He, is super funny! I swear!
*lol*

So, the movie?
Gosh! It was breathtaking. Exhilirating.
I love every scene in the movie.
I could not wait for Edward Cullen (or the Cullens for the matter) to be shown.
Dr Cullen? *drools*

I sat throughout the movie, gripping Lil' Sis and Nurul's hands in excitement and suspense.
I don't mind dating a vampire. The modern non-malay one I mean.
Cos the malay ones are very scary looking so I won't start imagining.
I'd rather continue being in fantasy for now.

The best scene of Twilight was the baseball game.
Gosh, I love that scene the most!!!
Damn! I never see a baseball game LIKE THAT!!

I found similarities in the movie in comparison to my real-life drama.
Teenage vampire flick?
Yeah.. again scary isn't it.

Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen, a pair of star-crossed lovers forbidden relationship ripens against the backdrop of small-town suspicion.
A love story with bite.

Knowing me, I always dismissed the notion of 'Forever'
But when the movie questions "When you can live forever what do you live for?"
That struck me - yes again.

One of the soundtracks for Twilight, Chris Daughtry - "What about now" chorus only made me certain on my own course in life.

When it comes to the fact or even act of Love, there are many things which I never pursue.
I wondered and questioned why and always disappointed with no answer.
It amazes me because while at work I can press for matters, I just seem to let it flow when it comes to the matters of the heart.
I leave it to the Divine Being who understands this better than anyone does.

Still, I told mom and going to tell my aunties in time.
No more matchmaking.
(No 'please' because I really mean it)

I am sick of going through the whole sequence again and again.
Sick of seeing the men's drama. I had enough of everything.
Enough of boys and enough of men who can't seem to grow up - which is sad.

No way am I going to suck up to them - ever!
Especially when I do not see the need to.
Like I said, always better on my own.

Honestly, the inner frustration is really eating me up that I am so afraid that one day I will burst - just like a dormant volcano.

So, I am catching Twilight again before I leave for Jakarta!
This time... full concentration please!

*Nurul, please take note*

Sunday, we headed out again and this time I was more determined to get a watch.
Seriously, I could really die without one.
It's been more than 2 weeks that I felt bare!!
Can you imagine the janggal-ness

Thanks to Lil' Sis who insisted that we headed down to Sincere Watches
Still, I was not very confident of making hefty purchases when daddy is not around.

Here we were, full of contemplations.










I walked around and could not decide upon a plain Omega or a Tag Heuer.
I wanted to make a good buy but at the same time still counting my pennies so as not to overspend.
Plus I have to purchase a watch which I could comfortably bring to work and at the same time for casual wear.

I still have yet to find the money to buy a few watches to interchange.
That made me wonder where I did to get those few bags.
No more bags for now (till end 2008?)

I called dad.
He is in the Philippines.
I gave him my options and choices.

He is a fan of Tag plus he thought bringing an Omega to work is too much to everyone's eyes to see.
Trust me when I say I don't carry my Fendis or LVs or Burberry's to work.
(The only good bag I bring to work is my Mulberry which many don't even know it is a Mulberry!)
I am still playing politically safe.

I finally made my purchase when the store was about to close.
Dad went all the way to speak to the salesman in helping me get a good buy.
*girly smile*

Tag Heuer - Aquaracer



My first Tag.
I wanted to buy a Tag since I was 20 but obviously couldn't.
Then, when I could, I was so heavy-hearted to part with the money.

I walked out gleaming that I finally made a choice.
A simple and elegant choice.







I am loving it!
Ok I need to work on a better photo angle to let Tag make me the Ambassador.

*lol*
