blessings

i am blessed

i really am. 

we all are. just a couple of decades ago, what was a laptop? or a cinema? what were digital photographs? all these present familiarities to us were non existent substances or elements back then. children were LUCKY to get education. most of the time, they spent time helping their parents at the shop. most girls never got to further their studies after high school (if they were lucky other wise primary school). my mother and father lived a hard life comparatively. and i get it hella easy. what do i have to worry about? books? food yummy food? friends? uni?

we're all blessed in so many ways. we just have to look in the right direction and open both our eyes (maybe even with one its possible) and see the rainbow display upfront. 

so fun stuff i did today:

skating. 
realised that my coach weikin is awesome. why? he's 1. nice 2. professional 3. has a good teaching method. 
expansion on 3 - i found out today that one girl spent 2 months just learning how to do a 3 turn. i love the way wei kin does it. he teaches me once. then i practice. if i really suck at it, he'll continue teaching but he won't dwell on it. he moves on with something else. which means i learn so much more in a shorter time and makes it hella more interesting. i would DIE if i did the same thing for 2 months -_- 
talking about the 2 months brought back memories of when i took ballet when i was 7/8? we would do the same thing repeatedly. i got so bored i quit. 
by the way, the girl quit in the end. i wonder why...
i also made some new skate friends. anna&rachel&joyee? i am quite sure i got the spellings wrong. 

shopping spree.
boy, i'm telling you, retail therapy is not some crap they made up. it really is true! almost every girl can tell you that. 
mom, mel and i went to bangsar. 
got a few dresses, black clutch, heels, a dark purple scarf, tops, high waist skirt.... you get the picture ;)
we bought grandaunt a clutch as well for her birthday. after our major hardwork (:D) climbing up and down stairs and browsing through racks and racks of nice and ugly clothes, we head to La Bodega to have finger food. only that, it didnt feel so much like finger food to the tummy. we were STUFFED after leaving La Bodega cuz we ended up having salad nicoise, 2 small tapas, 1 paella, 1 apple crumble for TEA. 3 hungry girls we were. 

birthday celebration for grandaunt (the best and coolest grandaunt anyone can ever have).
picked her up from her place. played with naza (her female sausage dog aka the dachshund). i feel like getting one. have two mini dogs. one silky terrier and one dachshund :)
when naza wags her tail, it looks like a helicopter's propeller. 
it was a very pleasant birthday dinner celebration in tony romas. it was grandaunt's first time there. she took a longgg time to decide what she wanted. haha. it was so cute. i really hope it made her birthday if it wasn't already :) she's a real dear.

midnight movie
17 again. quite hilarious, so i recommend it! i know zac efron is totally g.a.y and all, but he was kinda cute in this movie i have to admit (i feel so lame). matthew perry's aging on the other hand is very very apparent. i loved the credits. basically it was a highschool scrapbook. for each member of the producing team, they would put a respective high school picture. it was really adorable. they did the same for all the actors as well. matthew perry was super handsome when he was younger.
