OHHMYYGAWDDDDDDDDD!! i cannot believe the holidays are over and that i have to go back to uitm (a.k.a KOLEJ MAWAR!! gahh!) tomorrow. TOMORROW!!! so fast!!! it's just too horrible to comprehend. i feel like i didn't do shit during the holidays. which is actually, come to think of it, really the point of the holidays. but STILL! i didn't have enough fun :/:/ i feel like i wasted too much potential fun time :S
and just thinking about painting remake bags in a small enclosed area with 3 other roommates (im just gonna say sorry in advance to my future roommates for having to breath in the horrible paint fumes :/) watching me paint makes me wanna cringe. and i dont even have Ainaa to help me with the outline anymore so all my bags would probably look ugly and will all have uneven lines. gahh!!
and just thinking about waking up early tomorrow for the god-knows-why-they-made-it-so-goddamn-early registration makes me wanna pull all my hair out. i havn't woken up early (or slept early) in weeks!! :/ how the hell am i gonna manage waking up as early as 6.30am tomorrow? i'll probably look like shit cause i'll definitely oversleep, won't have enough time to get ready and would look like a panda on crack from the lack of sleep.
and i still have no idea if i'll be able to skip the activities on the weekend to go out. O_O
and fuck. to think i'll have to start learning again after not doing anything for over 2 months makes me just wanna puke. my only consolation is that, at least now...
no wait.
THERE IS NO CONSOLATION!!! EVERYTHING SUCKS!!! MY LIFE IS OVER!!!! *starts bawling on the floor while screaming nonsensical stuff about freedom at pedestrians walking by*
is actually very simple. on account of the fact that, when i escape (LOL!), it's not like anyone can actually force me to stay :/ and it's not like they check all the rooms. but even if i were caught. i could spew something on the lines of family problems, personal stuff, my cat died, im just some kakak dropping off her adik or...well. maybe just forgetting to bring my toothbrush? O_O
nevertheless, whatever it is i came up with on the spot, im sure they'll let me go :):)
but even if they don't and i was forced to go back for that stupid induction thing (which is god knows what! what exactly are we going to do anyways? it's not like we NEED an orientation), i will then feign interest to go to the loo, and escape unnoticed!! wahahahahahahaha!
however. now that i have recruits (lol. other fellow crazy shopaholics up for the ride), i will think of the other minor details later. but 'till later, the plan shall stay. *cue evil laugh*
anyways. the bazaar ends at 8.30pm so im pretty sure we can escape (one way or another) before it ends :D:D woot!!
------------
on a completely different note though, i found something very disturbing today. visited this person's blog at random and realized that this person had sorta plagiarized me. how do i know it's plagiarism you say? because im pretty sure noone else would think of something so random and weird about something so coincidentally the same.
*sighs*
but you know what they say? imitation is the best form of flattery. so i shall now be the bigger person and take this thing as a compliment and not so much of a slap in the face. because right about now, it really feels like it. the slap that is. not the compliment :/:/

anywhoosers!
i think my mum finally hit menopause or something because she's been acting really weird lately and her mood swings are sooo... well. moody! and most of the time, she's being so unreasonable, i feel like i wanna eat all the muffins i can find and give myself indigestion from frustration. i really really hope this thing won't last. if not, i'll probably go crazy or menopausal as well. T_T
note to self: when going through menopause. please hold out on the mood swings. people find it very VERY annoying :/
just came back from hulu langat (a.k.a kebun) today and im so relieved!
i did practically nothing there. i never wasted so much time in my life before. the atmosphere there was just so lazy and relaxing, it was sleep inducing! and boy! did i sleep :/:/ i actually brought along all my stuff to finish painting a couple of remake orders, but the lure of sleep and hulu langat-ness was just so strong, i ended up not doing anything at all. just eating and sleeping all day. and now i have a headache. gahh!
it's probably from the indigestion im having from eating too much fruits and my newfound erratic sleeping patterns. O_O
dah la i missed the most fun and probably the only awesome debate practice ever held :/
goshh...i freakin hate hulu langat. it's so bad for my health and not to mention, my mental well being. O.O
anywhoosers!! i cannot bear looking at any more online shops because i have to save up! due to the fact that i am currently broke. and i really really need money for the upcoming bazaar on the 4th of July. it looks very promising and a lot of my fav online stores are going to be there. so the only thing keeping me from spending my money (on loads of useless shit that i'll probably never wear anyways), is the idea that; if i just wait a little longer, i wouldn't have to pay for postage when i get the same thing at the bazaar! wooooot!! :D
but godddd. it's not easy. and seriously. my willpower is wavering.
(i mean, this is how broke i am. i actually made a bag to express my current and penniless predicament :/:/)
and i still havn't contemplated the fact that im going back to uitm (groansss!!) this friday :/:/ so i'll probably need some kinda plan or a devious way to get me outta the stupid induction thing happening on the weekend.
hmmm. i'll probably wear a ski mask and run for my life, out the gates, (hoping to godd no one would see me) and quickly drive off the bazaar like a freakin' getaway car. which i doubt will actually work, now that i really think about it. O_O
therefore i shall now think of a plan B. hmmmmmmm. any ideas? x)
(yesh. it's called the "AWESOME POSSUM BAZAAR". and i know it sounds stupid and lame but it's really kinda catchy dont ya think? it even sorta has a ring to it. lol. plus. whatever you may decide to think about it, it's still pretty awesome! and the possum's kinda cute too. lol.)
is actually a lot different then how i remembered it. (LOL!) 'cause it's been, like, YEARS since i last went there. but only because it has always been just OU or KLCC for me. and midvalley is actually great! not how i last remembered it of course. XD
gosh. i feel so left out. like i've been missing out an awesome thing for years :/
----------------------
spent like an hour and a half waiting for alicia to arrive today. but for once, i wasn't annoyed or pissed at some other person's tardiness cause i was literally exploring the 'newly discovered' mall. everything sorta felt.. well. new. LOL! x) i literally walked aimlessly for an hour staring in awe at all the new shops! (the fact that MNG was having a sale helped as well! XD) and when alicia finally called and asked where i was and where she wanted to meet me, i didn't know how to answer. i literally had no idea where i was and where she was telling me to meet her. i had to ask random strangers for directions cause i couldn't find the directory OR the service counter either. how duhhh am i? :/
anyways! shopped a lot today. again. O_O i even got 2 pairs of skinny jeans. in purple AND red!! whoooo. XDXD trying to make a statement yo! XD and i love it sososo much. next time im gonna try to find one in hot pink! HAHAHAHAHA.
-------------------------------------
on a more horrible note though, i have debate training tomorrow *groansss....* and they just informed us today about it too, how typical. O_O was really really tempted to skip. *sighs...* but since i wanna skip some other trainings as well cause i already have some stuff planned, i figured i had to come for at least one meeting. so yeahh. tomorrow. i shall force myself to wake up early and be at uitm by 10am. ugggghhh. just thinking about it makes me sick :/:/:/
----------------------------------
well!!! since that's done and over with! now, (inevitably!) im going to talk about my bags (lol!) and how i have (finally!) finish the last bag in my new batch of designs. and to me, for some strange reason, the bag sorta seem to fit my current mood. very emo and fragile-ish.
checked my bank account today and saw that it had reached rm1026. finally! the 1K mark. XD i was soooo happy. even though, of course, it was just the revenue total not the profit. but STILL. i was ecstatic! :) and it really made my day :D:D teehee~
------------------------------
sent my biggest batch of bags today. 17 re-made bags altogether!! x) to 7 different people! and it was only possible because fyza and nadia helped yesterday! so thanks so much yo! :):)
pretty pretty parcels :D:D
----------------------------------------------
finished about 10 new bags today for the new collection. so...for the next bag release, me and my sis modeled it out. HAHAHAAHAHA. and we look so funny in all of it. but what the heck. it was fun. and it was a good way to show off all the clothes i just recently bought at the bazaars. LOL! x) oh. the joy of cam whoring! xD
----------------------------------------------
hmmm. i just realized that all my recent posts are about my bags. XD god. im sucha loser. lol. O_O
nvm! tomorrow, i'll be goin out with some of my old friends, so i'll update ya'll with that instead! X) im sure ya'll are already sick and tired of listening to me ranting on and on about my bags. so yeahhh...'till then, toodles!! :D:D
i saw this at ou today when we went out to have lunch with our dad (you know. fathers day and all) and i just couldn't help laughing and taking a quick snap. x)
somebody probably wanted too see some real flashing down there. LOL! XD genius!
anyways. i had a massive order to finish up by tomorrow but fyza and nadia came over and helped me paint (thank godd!) so we got it all done very quickly! thanks so much yo! x) oh. and we had so much fun shopping at various bazaars yesyerday too. lol. woooooooohh! x)
actually. it's getting to be really annoying and not to mention, burdening. keeping track of orders, costs and cash transfers is bloody infuriating. and for god's sake, if i have to remake one more bag, i'll fucking lose it. O_O im starting to think that the money ain't that worth it after all. haihz....
on a lighter note though, i had shitloads of fun at the ICRC debating tournament last weekend. i learned a lot from tasnim and we had so much fun screwing everyone over with fucked up definitions and incorporating everything with a message to save the whales. lol. because we figured that since we were a development team and were not expected to break, we might as well have loads of fun in the process. also, i learned to keep my anxiety and nervousness in check before i go up to debate. this is because, since Adi is in our team, we thought it would be unfair to let tasnim handle two annoyingly nervous juniors. lol. so...being the bigger person that i am, i let Adi have his fun. XD haha.
oh. and i finally got to re-check my results and was ecstatic to see that it hadn't change. (thank goddd!!!) life's pretty good right about now :)
special thanks to hadiwho's not only buying a couple of bags but advertising my website on his blog too. thanks a bunch yo! :D:D
also, special thanks to ben for putting all those pictures together and making an awesome banner for my website and then advertising it on her blog as well. you totally rock man!! i am like soooooo grateful!! :):)
and lastly, thanks so much nadia for featuring me on your blog too. it really really means a lot to me. you have no idea how happy i am to see that post! you're totally awesome. thanks so much again! :) (and sorry bout your car. lol.)
also. i just want to thank Allah s.a.w for making this bag business thing a success. it's only been 2 days and all the bags have already been reserved and i already got shit loads of remake and custom orders to do so im gonna be a bit busy for a while :S
Alhamdulillah, everything worked out well. and im so very gladd it did :):)
was, all in all, quite fun because we did a lot more then just debating. i spent the 1st 2 days debating during the preliminary rounds and amazingly enough, ALL 8 of the UT MARA debate teams broke to the octo finals! :):) it made me feel so proud of my own university (which was, to me, something kinda lame to be proud of. but i was still so proud nonetheless. lol.).
my team, which also consisted of Atiq and Paei was the 4th uitm team that broke that day so we didn't get to move on to the octo finals due to the team cap they had on every university (where only 3 teams from each university can qualify to the next round). but i was really happy that we got that far at all. and the fact that i learned shit loads from the two seniors in my team makes me feel even more grateful. (thanks so much again Atiq! you're so awesome! :D:D) what's even more amazing was the fact that all our 3 teams that broke into the octos broke to the quarters and semis as well.
however, in the end, our first team still lost to IIU during the finals. although this is true, i think they lost in complete style and were as funny and entertaining as ever. so none of us were really bitter at the end of the day :):)
qayser, fareezshah and farass doing their thing during the finals :)
them, receiving their much deserved trophies and a huge check of rm750.
other than debating during arau open, they also brought us to padang besar and gua kelam. it was amazing to see how much fun we could have at the sungai area in gua kelam. everyone was going crazy and jumping around in the water like a couple of mad monkeys! i was even one of them (although my movements were sort of limited due to the fact that i didn't bring a change of clothes. LOL.)!
"wo-wo"-ing at the jeti in kuala perlis all of us staring amazingly at some fishes jumping around on the sand. lol. jakun gilerr kan? x)
going crazy in the water! XD
we were so tired of carrying our bags, we put them on our heads instead. LOL!
-------------------------------------------------
and during the 2 days off we had after arau open and before the selections for Australs, we went to Langkawi. all on our own! it was something we decided to do out of sheer spontaneity! we just saw a sign that said "Feri to Langkawi" one day and thought it would be great fun to go. we only left at 1 pm though because it was raining all morning (we almost didn't go because of the continuous rain). we then crammed 8 girls into Farass's MyVi (it was pretty uncomfortable) and was dropped off at the jetty in kuala perlis (thanks so much Farass btw. you're awesome). we then ate lunch and took a 45 minute feri trip to langkawi. there, we rented 2 cars, confirmed our booking at an affordable motel and went on our way to Langkawi's famous cable car feature. there, we were amazed by the view and were even doubly enchanted by the beautiful sunset. the weather was cool and it put everyone in a very good mood :):) we then headed back to the motel to check in and quickly had our dinner at a nearby seafood restaurant (the food was amazing!! but what was even more amazing was the fact that we finished every single plate and that the food was so cheap!). then we spent the whole night shopping our asses off. everything, from chocolates to beach dresses were so freakishly cheap! by the time we rached back to our room at 12.30 am, we all realized that we bought wayyyyyyyyyyy too many unneeded stuff.
but we all loved what we bought in the end anyways :):)
arriving at the jetty in langkawi :):)
reached the top of the cable car. lol. we were so excited. XD
chilling at the top of the cable car :)
waiting for the sunset :D
goofing off while we were going down to the sky bridge.
the next day, we spent the whole morning on the beach. just chilling on the sand, basking in the sun and going crazy with the waves. Mai even lost he specs!! lol. we spent a lot of time looking for it afterwards but to no avail. so in the end, Mai had to buy a pair of contacts at the jeti. haha. and i think she looks wayyy better with the contacts instead, though she'll never admit it. XD
yeahh. we realized we bought wayyyyyyyy tooo much stuff. XD
on the way back to the jetty to catch our ferry, our stupid rental car broke down and we spent an entire hour trying to fix it. everyone around us were soo unhelpful but we managed to get it up and running in the end before our ferri left. thank godd!!!
lastly, before we all headed back home, they held the selections for Australs in uitm arau for 2 days. i only broke to the finals but was never chosen in the end but im glad i was given the opportunity in the first place. the selections was soooo competetive but everyone was sort of happy with the ones who got chosen in the end. and i do honestly believe that they are all deserving. so hopefully, we get some results at Australs :):)
so. all in all, it was an awesome tournament plus holiday plus selections. and because i am now back and was able to rest and finally set up my own blogshop, i'm pretty content :D
but extremely tired. endured another 10 hour trip back to shah alam from arau today. soooo....due to sheer laziness, i shall update on the details of the trip tomorrow. in pontian, JOHOR. because apparently, my whole family is going to johor tomorrow :/ im literally moving from one end of malaysia to the other. it's killing me.
but oh well! life has always been a bitch ain't it? :):)
(our reaction when someone said: "okay. what if hafiedz quit?" lol.)
well. arau is not like hell because it's bad. it's like hell because it's literally THAT panas. im like never NOT sweating. and i feel so disgusting. ughh. dah la it took us like freakin' 10 hours get here, and i think within an hour, i already had countless of mosquito bites. O_O
but. all in all. it's okay laaa :):) the competition itself is funnn. even though im 3rd speaker. however. some of the adjudicators are a bit weird. and the ones that are not weird, are bad. hmmmmmmm.... but its all goooood laaa. this place is nice. so peaceful :):)
so yeahh...so far so good. shall update later with more details when im not wayyy too tired to do so :D
so yeahhhh. i just found out that i am going to 'arau open' tomorrow untill the 2nd. so i am trying my best to fit all of my clothes into one bag. but i failed. so now im using this huge-ass pink and purple (i know. weirdest colour combination ryte?) bag which just, looks... well. dumb. but my mum asked me to use it and it's the only bag that can fit all my stuff. so i kinda HAVE to use it. even though it makes me look like a fucking tourist.
so i might not be blogging for a while. also, im gonna miss my sister's play because of this debate tournament, so i hope this thing is worth it. and im hoping it would be shitloads of fun. x) though, i dont see why it has to be so long (1 week??!!).
oh. and im gonna be the 3rd speaker for this tournament which sucks because i've never been a 3rd speaker before. so im really hoping for the best or that some kind of miracle might happen because heck! i need one right about now. especially since it's gonna be in Australs style and i've never done the Australs style of debating before so im probably screwed there too. i mean it's bad enough to try and talk for about 7 minutes, now i have to do it in 8 minutes and i cant even waste time on POIs because there will be none. so basically, im doubly screwed. O_O
so i just wanna say sorry to my debating seniors in advance for any of my misgivings that might, no wait, WILL ensue in the course of me debating in Arau. and shit laa. it sucks that mai is not my partner anymore so i shall not have my emotional support system (lol!) when i get freaked out or anxiously nervous during prep time.
gosh. i have a feeling this thing is gonna suck. big time.

omg. im so proud of these bags. hope this thing really kicks off. and thanks so much hadi and haifaa for supporting! i wasn't sure if people even liked it. lol. and also, thanks so much mai, fyza and nadia for the amazing encouragement! you guys rock! :D:D
so i was at the Curve yesterday eating lunch with Mai, when Yaya suddenly called me up.
yaya: hey! omg. have you checked ur results? ain: wtf? its out? for real? huh? when? yaya: yeah. apparently it is. go check laa. ain: omg. okay. but im outsideee. so how did you do? (btw. congrats yaya, im so proud of you! :D u did great!)
so after the call, i kinda freaked out. i sooo badly wanted to check how much i got but had no means to do it. and we were trying desperately to recall any cyber cafes that we know of nearby (which we didn't). then i remembered that my hp could access the internet (lol. duhhhh ryte?) so thats when i checked my results.
and i was like WTF???!!!
it was surreal. i was soo shocked. but i couldn't stop smiling. i was just soo happy. all the late nights and flash cards paid off in the end. so thanks so much to everyone who helped me get this grade and tolerated my weird ass panicky, anxiety filled, pre-exam moments. you guys rock. seriously. especially fyza and mai. sorry for always acting up and being weird right before AND after a test (it's the stress!! lol.).
so after the initial shock, mai also used my phone to check hers too and she did sooo awesome as well. so we both decided to treat ourselves with a little bit of shopping. tee-hee. xD (what an excuse to waste money eh?)
so then we decided to go back early cause we had a sleepover planned later in the evening for Fyza's birthday and that was when mai realized she actually left her car keys in the car. but what was worse was the fact that she didn't even off the engine and since the car had to be manually locked, she didn't realize she left the keys in the car. so basically, we were stuck outside her car waiting for her dad to arrive while her engine had been running for the last 2 and a half hours. it was funny. her dad then came in and got the lock to open using this handy trick with what looked like a metal rod with a hook. we then proceeded to get lost somewhere in kerinchi and got stuck in a massive jam on the way home. yeah. it was not the best of days. O_O
but all in all, it still turned out to be great fun because the sleepover was awesome and i was still in a good mood as i was extremely content with my results (although i am a bit disturbed by the fact that i couldn't re-check the results on my laptop at home. hopefully, it does not change!! :):)). poor fyza though. she didn't check hers on time so she doesn't know her results. but im sure you did great laa babe! so dont worry too much! :D:D
and i know a lot of people did so much better for this sem then the last so i just wanna say congrats you guys! and once again, happy birthday fyza! :) ur so olddd now!! XD
to tell you the truth, im not generally a big fan of vegetables.
wait, thats a lie; let me rephrase that.
i absolutelyloatheating vegetables.
i detest how it looks and i hate how crunchy and delicious it sounds when people chew on it because it makes you want to eat it even though it's a huge lie!!
vegetables are not at all delicious or crunchy!! in fact, its usually soggy and bitter. so naturally, being a normal person who hates bitter and soggy things; i hate vegetables.
but vegetarian meat is a completely different thing alltogether. it's actually kinda yummy and it tastes almost like the real thing; except that the texture is different. the fake meat (which is made out of soy beans) is a bit more tough and dry. but hell, other then that, it tastes exactly the same! i was so amazed. lol.
before this, i never actually knew how vegetarians could live without eating meat. i mean, REALLY. how do they SURVIVEEE??!!! :S but now i know... they have this!:
on another note, i went to watch 'i love you, man' today with aiman. and i was expecting it to be hillarious since it's starring both Paul Rudd and Jason Segel (can we say 40 year old virgin and forgetting sarah marshall? lol.) and had rave reviews. oh. and also, Fyza said it was damn funny.
so yeah, i was expecting a lot before i watched it today. but i was hugely dissapointed, as once again, the fucked up Malaysian censorship system comes in as a killjoy and sucks the fun out of everything by literally censoring EVERYTHING.
especially the cuss words. bloody hell. i think they cut out certain snippets of conversations in the movie like a GAZILLION times because the cast swore so much. which was a shame because the cussing was supposed to be the best bits. it was what made the movie hugely entertaining. because, essentially, the movie was SUPPOSED to be filled with rude jokes and crude remarks about stupid things. but all i got was cut-off sentences and confusing jokes that made me go like, 'wtf is he talking about?' cause everything interesting was freakin' censored.
i dont get why you have to rate the goddamn movie as 18SG if you're going to cut out everything fun anyways. you might as well just make it a U rated movie. or better yet, leave it as 18SG and don't cut anything at all.
although....., despite the huge amount of censoring done on this movie, it was STILL relatively funny (thank god!) so i shall recommend people to watch this movie but NOT in the cinemas. go buy the DVD or something and make sure it is uncut because then you'll know you're getting ur money's worth. x)
i finally got my hands on Eliza Dushku's new series, "Dollhouse". im hoping it rocks like "Tru Calling" did so imma see how it is like first before actually recommending it to anyone x)
i finished another bag today. lol. im so proud! xD
and assman (lol!), if you're reading this. imma tell you now that there is NO WAY you can make me smoke or drink. you could try. but i shall resist. furiously. although, i shall contemplate on the shisha-ing part. haha.
so who do you guys think has the highest position in the world?
President Barrack Obama? the UN Secretary General? the Pope?
apparently, it's none of the above.
in fact, it's this guy right here:
(sorry that the picture's not clear. its bloody blogspot's fault O_O)
his name is Babu Sassi. a fearless young man from southern Indiais, the cult hero of Dubai's army of construction workers.
known as the "Indian on the top of the world", Babu is the crane operator at the world's tallest building — the 819-metre Burj Dubai. His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home — apparently it takes too long to come down to the ground each day to make it worthwhile. When the building is completed, its elevators will be the world's fastest.
Stories about his daily dalliance with death are discussed in revered terms by Dubai's workers. Some say he has been up there for more than a year, others whisper that he's paid 30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month compared with the average wage of 800 dirhams a month. All agree he's worth it.
but im not JUST painting. im painting on bags. haha. (and now my room smells like shit due to the horrible stench the fabric paint is emitting. and all these fumes are literally making my head spin :S)
its a small project me and my sis are trying to venture into.
will explain in detail when im done painting all the bags.
but until then, here are the ones that we havesorta finished: (i hope you dont think it looks weird or lame even; we were going for something that screamed 'random'! xD)
it happened so fast. and i completely let it happen.
it feels kinda weird. to SORTA steal something that is. because i would like to very much think of myself as a nice person. generally speaking of course. no one is truly GENUINELY nice. well. not anyone that i know of that is.
so anyways. it happened when i was at the Big Bad Book Sale (yes. im not kidding. that was what the sale was called). Mama was queuing up to pay for the books that we chose while i quickly wander around the area frantically looking for any last minute books that interest me.
and that’s when i saw it. Cornelia Funke’s trilogy that included the books; Inkheart, Inkspell AND Inkdeath on paperback! i’ve read the first two books already and had always wanted to read the last one but could never afford to buy it cause they still havn’t released the friggin paperback version of the book.
so, excitedly, i picked up the book and almost foamed in the mouth when i saw the price.
it was only 15 RINGGIT!! that was INSANELY cheap! the book ‘Inkdeath’ alone, was still selling for about 70 bucks in normal bookstores as it was still only available on hard cover. so i quickly took it and showed it to mama. she agreed to let me have it (even though i already had the first two books at home and had already chose shitloads of books before) and i was ecstatic. until i saw a dent in the cover of the book that is.
so naturally, being the cheapskate that i was, i went to the place where i found it in hopes of finding a better copy.
there was none. i had the last copy in my hands.
and instead, i saw this woman staring pointedly at the book i was holding. i looked at her and she narrowed her eyes at me and i was like “What the hell is her problem?”; until i saw that she was carrying the box of books where i previously found the said book from. realization dawned on me like the mothafucker that i was.
the box which i THOUGHT was actually meant for customers to choose their books from was actually her box of books that she collected. because APPARENTLY, during the sale, you could take boxes which were not used and utilize them to carry the books of your own choosing.
she started walking towards me and the only thought that flashed through my mind was, “who the hell asked you to leave your box of books conspicuously unattended bitch?”. but since i was a coward, i didn’t actually say any of those things and quickly turned, walked as far as away as i could from her quickly and pretended to look at some books because, fuck, i wanted the book sooo badly and i was sooo not willing to give it up any time soon.
i was so scared that she would come after me and confront me because hell, i was a horrible liar but i forced myself to look back anyways and saw her heading towards the opposite direction. Phew! but guilt was a bitch and now i was like, should i return it or should i quickly run back to mama (who by now may be wondering where the heck did i go off to) with the book?
So because i was a scumbag, i kept the book, quickly went to mama, paid for it, got back into the car and drove home feeling like a naughty naughty girl. Even though, TECHNICALLY, i didn’t really steal anything cause she didn’t actually paid for it yet.
But STILL. The memory of not returning the book to her is now permanently etched in my mind forver.
Talk about being stupidly obsessed over one dumb incident huh? Lol.
PS: btw, for those book lovers out there, this warehouse book sale is seriously awesome. Better then both the times and mph warehouse book sale held recently. I seriously SERIOUSLY recommend people to go there to get good bargain for books. Most of the books are going at rm8 each, regardless of whether or not they were bestsellers or merely self-help books. I almost went cross-eyed trying to get as many interesting book titles as i could. It was seriously THAT cheap. X)
