Bye Lab Coat

Reading a friend's blog, her 22nd February post inspired me to write what i'm writing now.

She said she's rubbish at throwing things, well then, I must be trash at thrashing things.

I've been clearing up my room for 3 months ongoing now and I'm still not done. Truth is that is what I'm supposed 2 b doing right now. I keep a lot of things because I'm attached to them, for memory's sake just like this particular friend.

There are many old clothes in my cupboard, way back from my childhood days, can't chuck them cuz they contain memories. And then there are jeans I don't want? but I can't give a pair of Levi's away, I just can't. It's a pair of Levi's. I wish I could sell it. But how can I find a buyer?

So in the end the only item of clothing I let go off was my lab coat. Let's face, I don't need it. But I was sooo sad to see it go. It reminds me of the fun I had in the labs? I once mixed something that bubbled out of the test tube and onto the floor, just like a volcano...

And the coat was so soft and comfortable?



I didn't have a choice, the lab coat could be sold. And I did sell it. For RM42. The same price I bought it for. Good, huh?

But I wish I still had it. All I have left of it is a photo.

Today was a long day, although i only had one short workshop in college today. I mean, in university. It wasn't easy getting accepted by a university so I had better say I'm in university.

So it was a tiring day, but a fun one! Mainly cuz I had a certain someone with me almost all day. He sent me to and from college, I mean university today cuz Ausmat 2004 is having a small reunion. The workshop I had 2day wasn't bad too, interesting and funny. And after that I met up with my Ausmat course-mates and we hung out!

We went to Pyramid for lunch and then just to kill time as a group. One of our course mates is working in Radioactive there so we decided to pay him a visit? or disturb him. He bragged about how all his friends who visited him at work end up buying something.

Originally we didn't want to buy anything. But I had my eye on this sleeveless top since Monday. I didn?t buy it cuz it was pricey. RM59.90 for a shirt?!?! No way, right?

But just for fun I pointed it out to the one who was holding my hand. He agreed it was nice and we took a closer look at it. There was a ?his? version of it as well, in blue instead of pink The ?his? tee didn?t have a price tag at the collar so we searched for it.

Guess what we found on the shirt? A little hidden pocket on the inside, just big enough for u to keep a condom in it! Haha, cute. Then we found out that the ?hers? one has it too!



However special the shirts are, RM59.90 each would be too costly?. Then we just happen to walk by a sign that says the shirts come in a pair! For Valentines. So it's actually RM59.90 for a pair of shirts! Wowwww!!!

Just to double check, we asked our friend who was working there. He confirmed it and asked us to try the shirts on... blah blah blah, u know what promoters do. =) So we did and they just fitted perfectly! Both mine and his!

As usual, I asked if there was anymore of the shirts in stock since I try not to buy stuff that has been on display. So our friend said he'd check. A minute later he came out saying "I don't know whether to say u guys are lucky or not: these are the last ones"

We decided to take it positively: we're lucky! =)

Lately i've been in the mood to blog, to tell u the truth i used to write a diary. Right now i've almost completely switched to blogging cuz the notebook i use 2 write in has run out of pages and i'm waiting for a new one.

So, today, i skipped a day at university cuz i dun wanna attend the boring talk on study skills. Instead i built my timetable (i have Wednesdays off! =). Then i decided what i wanted to major in (For now it looks like i'm gonna take a double major, in accounting and in marketing. And i'd take a minor in writing, since i love to write! Did i ever mention that i actually wanted a double degree in Business and in Mass Communications? Since the double degree of my choice is unavailable here, i guess the closest i can get to it is doing a minor in writing)

What else did i do today? Hung out with E. =) Had lunch n dinner together, watch tv and went online 2gether, chit chat... i told him something i've never told anyone before. Now that i've told him, i can tell u, since it's better to tell it to him face to face than to let him find out through my blog. (He's a loyal reader of my blog, not surprised? =)

What is it i told him? Yeah, i told my about my very very first impression of him. Possible a year ago, a friend pointed him out to me, she told me his name and the unique way his name was spelt. She also told me about his parentage: he's mixed, Malay and Chinese.

So, when i first saw him, from afar, i noted that he was good-looking. I did feel something. Love at first sight? Nah, i don't believe in that. Anyway, i remembered telling myself to NOT be interested in him, since he's half Malay, which means that he is Muslim by law. I successfully managed to do that, u know, not crush on him.

It wasn't that difficult; we were practically strangers to one another, with no classes in common and no proper introduction. And well, my friend told me quite some stuff about him to me: he doesn’t complete his homework, he has many summons for speeding... Let's just say he had a bad impression on me la

Until we got to know each other better around August 2004. We got along really well, and he provided reasonable explanations to... err... erase my negative thoughts of him. And the rest is another story that isn't for tonight.

On 18th February, the roses were looking good, thanks to the cold climate in my family's fridge. That's where i kept them. My boyfriend, E said he would have bought me more if they weren't too expensive, i never knew the prices of roses sky-rocket every 14 February until this year when I actually received roses. When I told my father about the roses he told me to tell E not to waste money! Haha.  

Even in the very best condition and even with tender loving care, roses don't last forever. Yesterday(Wednesday), a petal fell off, i was sad. And when i slept i dreamt that more of the petals fell, it was sort of a nightmare since in dreams other stupid stuff happened. Today(Thursday), when i wanted to change the water, a few petals fell off.

I complained to my parents who were nearby. U know what my father said? He told me to tell E to buy fake roses next time! No waaaaaaaay, haha. At least my father's cool abt me having a bf, a friend of mine couldn't bring home the 13 roses she received cuz her parents aren?t open-minded

So anyway, I was stubborn and still wanted to prolong the lives of my roses, but even more petals fell! =( I had no choice but to give up; i had to dry them since there were already petals all over the table! The petals were kinda pretty, so, here, i'm sharing them with u! =)
