Busy, rainy Sundies-It's been an insane day. Started sedately enough, with me sleeping in a fair bit before showering and dressing appropriately for a sunny day out picnicking. I packed my picnic blankets, sunscreen and bottle water while the sky outside stayed a grimy grey. I kept the faith, full of hope that the day would turn for the better. I even left my brolly in my room (actually i forgot it) but i thought it may be a sign that the day will get sunnier. Ha-wasnt i fooled. Carole, Kiki and i landed in Oxford St. with the rain spitting down and the shops closed. We seeked ourt refuge in the regent ST Starbucks where i had a massive (i swear it was more than a pint) of coffee and a pain au chocolat. Not a very good one cos they refused to heat it up for me, evil starbucks person. They should know that the customers is always, by default, no questions asked, is always, always right. Still, the woman was like, no im sorry we dont heat it up. That doesnt bloody matter-i want it heated up, dammit. Still, it was a disappointing pain au chocolat cos it was cold. We spent an hour at starbucks waiting for the shops to open, and for me to be done with the bloody pint of coffee.Enjoyed the coffee though, sweet and milky it was.....yum.....
Tried a lovely grey dress at Oasis later-i loved it, ut sadly it didnt fit-couldnt go past my bloody hips. I would kill to look like twiggy. Went to a few shops on the way, still no dress that could fit. Again i wish i had stuck it out with the diet-maybe i could've squeezed myself into one or two, but no, in my bloated cow state today i was left going, 'how, gorgeous, if only i was bloody 50 kgs lighter.......' I should go shopping every week at Zara, MNG and Topshop-the fact that i cant fit into so many lovely stuff may actually stop me from eating. And if i feel like relapsing, i take the bus down to Oxford St and plant myself in Zara. or Benetton and try a pair of skinny jeans. Yeah-that'll get me to stop eating and gym more rigorously.....Should do that when i balik M'sia.....Anyway, went to New Look and tried on a few dresses. There was one that looked nice, and one more i picked up cos it came in my size. Lo and behold, the random one i picked out actually fitted nicely and actually flattered my bits and bobs in places. Carole had her eyes on the dress first, but they didnt have her size in the right colour. But the blue fitted and looked good on me. So i bought it-it was cheap too, and i got money off with the student card......Still hesitant about it, but oh well, what the heck, it looks nice.....Anyway, all that shopping made me late for the picnic at Bayswater with the M'sian soc, and i arrived a good hour and a half later. It ended up being a house party at Ron's place, which was small, but cosy bachelor pad....Managed to get a good 20+ ppl in there-i was impressed. Didnt stay too long before we headed off to the M'sian fair at Covent garden. It was OK-the food stalls had the usual Nasi lemak, satay, mee goreng and that lot, with batik painting, batik bajus, pua stalls and the essential tourism m'sian booth. There was a Brahim's tent too, with Brahim's cooking demo.....Didnt buy any more, stock masih banyak lagi....tak tahu nak buat ape....Makanlah kan, ape lagi.....
Saw teddies i want at the 'make ur own teddy' place-a surgeon teddy and doctor teddy. Must review personal ruling that i cant buy teddies for personal use.....I love those teddies-they're sooo cute, with precious lil scrubs and plastic medical bags......I'll get one when i have forty quid to spare. The surgeon teddy will be a velvetine teddy, tan and soft while the doctor teddy could be a non-bear species, maybe a bunny or just a different colour teddy....with black teeddy-sketchers....Awww......
Menaka and i walked back from covent garden to holborn ok-got on the tube and got back pronto. Showered and made wierd dinner-mushroom and tiger lily soup with mash potatoes and caramelised aubergines. Caramelised aubergined were over-sweet though......and soup was too thin-foodie disaster. Studied a bit with flatmates and found out that seaweed based jellies dont hardened when mixed with fresh strawberries. made cocktails with jelly mix-orange, strawberry jelly mix and ginger beer...oklah, except for the powdery taste at the end-i didnt think i washed the strawberries to well. Whoops........oh well,
its late, my bed beckonnes with promises of sweet sleep. Will give in to slumber soon for a short respite. Must awaken early to work and gym......lovies
