A Concerto of Smiles


Currently listening to: The Essential Barbara Streisand Album - First CD, Song no. 10: Happy Days Are Here Again.

Which I just bought today at MPH! I am so happy, wheee...!!! And it's only RM29.90! A normal original one would usually cost about RM49.90! And this is so much cheaper. But what's more fantastic here is that there's two CDs in it! With an average of 20 songs in each CD. What a good bargain! The last two-CD album I bought (Barbara Streisand) cost RM80! It was her end of the century Timeless Concert album (recorded LIVE in Times Square, New York on 31st December 1999 to 1st January 2000). I have no regrets purchasing an RM80 album then and I certainly have no regrets with this one too which is RM50 cheaper! I am so happy!! And most of it are my favourite songs! I love Barbara Streisand!

RM29.90 (usually RM49.90) + 2 CDs (usually 1 CD - cost almost RM50) + 20 songs per CD (usually 17 songs average per CD) + famous/favourite songs = Philee very happy and satisfied! 30 bucks well spent!

Now currently listening to: (Same album and CD) Song no. 15: The Way We Were

*Suddenly THE POTATO doesn't know what to blog anymore. Or perhaps the inspiration and mood flew out the window. Or maybe she is just too lazy. Or busy, in a foolish way mimicking Barbara Streisand singing in concert. :P

Okay, let's be random here:

- My birthday is swinging by soon and I still don't have the *oomph* in anticipating or even thinking about it! My soul feels mundane... someone, surprise me please! This year, its only makan and more makan... dinners with family and more family, lunches with friends and more friends. Makan and more MAKAN! Great right *sarcastic*? I get pudgier for my bday present. :P But then again, I am not complaining. Feed me people, FEED ME!

- Despite my passion for food. I've gotten more self control on food intake lately. :D And in a self absorb and prasan way, I feel lighter, lol. Will exercise more too. Not only because of the appearance sake, but I need to toughen up a bit. Reason.... (read next point)?

- I TRIED cycling one night (with my dad "coaching") which by the way I am still unable to (after so long - retarded I am on wheels). I struggled through from my house to almost the end of my housing street back and forth and literally almost passed out. I was sweating, it was tiring and I still could not cycle! Let me tell you, TRYING TO CYCLE IS A SPORT (retardly)!!! I might as well exercise and work out by TRYING to cycle. Lady Cabonara (my red bicycle) must be fustrated for me too. Which also bring me to the point that I am so "taufu"! Hal kecik macam ini pun I can't tahan, if I seriously ran a lap, I don't think I can survive it. Hence I need to buck up and move more. :P

Currently listening to: 2nd CD, Song no. 3: Comin' In And Out Of Your Life.

- I am so blur la... lazy too. I am worried bout my undone assignments but yet I do nothing about it. Case Study and presentation? What am I suppose to do again? *Bah!* Soon, they'll start piling up and I'll freak out. Besides, they're all due near my midterms too. Study soon??? *Please don't crack me up*

- I sleep like a vampire pig! Figure that out!

Currently listening to: (Same CD), Song no. 5: Papa Can You Hear Me?

- I am suppose to call many people up with many different reasons but yet I am procastinating like a "busy person" while I am kicking up my toes like a bee with no honey. It's sad when "takde hati" while other wait for you with theirs. I bore myself out. Heck, I even practise the piano a couple of times lately! I don't know what I am waiting for...

- I am so mundane.... So normal, so mediocre and so human. Special and unique I am. But in a normal way. Just like you, her, him and it. So fragile in life and so nonchalant. Like a by stander in the background of a movie. My movie. Now thats sad. I so need to wake up and pay attention!

Currently listening to: Song no. 7: Putting It Together


"If you can't get the rainbow, make your own rainbow!" - P

YouTube of the Day: StarWars according to a three year old :)

~Large and warm huggies to you!~

The Twinkling of a Smile =D


Currently Listening to: Just One Dream - Walt Disney Records




D'know what I need?

I need a beautiful memory. Something that I'll think or look back with an idiotic smile.

Yeah, I need that.

Not that I don't have any fancy or fond memories but I need something more relevant now. Something I can relate with and live in. Something new and fresh!

Suddenly it dawns me.... my 21st birthday!

NO, just for record: No party!

Many asked me to throw one and even my dad insisted on it (he loves parties and people - according to my grandmother, my dad was always the party thrower - leaving her with all the work last time :P).... And actually I thought why not? My last birthday party was when I was 7!! But then again, no. Yeah, Im not a party person or at least not the one usually throwing one - attending is nicer.

I guess I am too lazy for it. Calling so many peeps, food, cleaning, work (no more maid and I can leave my mum to do it all) and I would hate to work on my on birthday. :(

Initially, I was always afraid of having a party cause I always had this gut feeling that no one would turn up (bad fantasy :P) but many assure me that I was just plain crazy. Hahaha, and I have this thing.... that if I invite one, I have to invite all. When I tried counting down the amount of people I wanted to invite.. family, pre-school, primary, secondary (2), college, music, church, work etc.... it all sums up that even both my house and aunt's place wont be able to contain half of em. :( Hahahaha.....

Besides... I am just not in the moond this year despite the number 21 falling on me.

The good thing is, lots of other friends would be having their 21st parties all year long, so I am in no short of a "21st birthday party".

:)

I've had several birthday invitations to hang out on my birthday (thank you to thoughtful friends) - in the absence of a party. But currently the "plan" is to "hang out" with college buddies. Cause dear Shennie also happen to share the same joyous day as me! And we are both "free" so to speak (no party ma) so we decided to celebrate together la with some other friends (Yiang and Meng mesti confirm come ya!) :P

We havent really planned out anything concrete yet. But we wanted to do something more than the ordinary. There's the "NICE" lunch at fancy place suggestion, Kuala Selangor trip (monkeys, seafood), drive up to Genting, Lagoon??? etc...

Hmmm... not sure also. Maybe go BBQ in PD?

In the evening, of course the typical-every-year lovely family dinner at a fancy restaurant. :)

Hahaha, I keep having this vision of me sloutching on the living room couch and watching TV the entire afternoon on my birthday. :P

Don't know la... just no "umph" this year! Usually I would make my birthday a big deal every year (at least to my family) but somehow it just tonned down. Maybe cause I'm "adulting"...

Anyway... back to the main topic (over runned with birthday topic pulak) - fond memories.

Inclusive of everything. I just need something treasureable. And since romance is way out of the topic, I guess maybe I need a nice vacation or a really good adventure. Get out and take a little more risk. Tsk tsk!

YouTube Video of the Day: ~(Super CUTE wei!)






=D Happy Day and God bless!


Hugs ~ Miss you lots!

Clear cut diamonds....



You know you're blessed when time is faithful and old connection never dies. (That's good - think. I should quote that) :)


Happy 21st to darling and dear Ashvini. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you in celebrating it with a nice brunch, shopping and not to mention girly bonding. Too bad we didn't have enough time to do much yakking... :)


Same goes to dear Esther.C for her very much missed company (long time since we hung out) and comforting presence.


It was nice meeting up with old friends again (with a little shopping too) :D


*My only regret that day was I forgot to get Ash a cake (even a slice) - a doughnut would be cute (with a candle)!* :P


Haha, missed the chance of getting J.Co Doughnuts at Pavilion (yes we went there)...



Brunch at Madam Kwan's...




Golden moment :D


Ahem, the next pics are.... *cough* not something I would conventionally do (actually first time in a dressing room - yeah late bloomer :P). But I thought it was interesting and it wasn't everyday i got to try on really expensive clothes (courtesy of Esther at Tang's - Martina Pink)




Candy dress....




I really really like this red dress :)
Actually I have always wanted a red dress like that (saw one at Polka Dots once but the button was cacat so mum refused to buy it). This baby cost a few hundred bucks :P

Okay, this post is not gonna be long - as said I am lazy. Besides lotsa manga waiting for me (Scanlations LIVE!) and the violin must be "gasak-ed" before my dad goes beserk again.


Happy 21st birthday again to Ash (25th Jan) and Happy belated 24th Birthday to Jason too (24th) Jan!

A kiss of Tulips





BIG NEWS!!!!


HUGE NEWS!!!!


I CUT MY HAIR!!!!!


Bahahahahahahahahahahah!!! Muahahahahahaha!!!! Kakakakakakakaka!!!!


Yes, finally. After SO LONG.


But as most of you know, I am a "long hair type". I adore hair with natural extensive length! Which is why I rarely visit the "barber" (lol). But CNY is approaching and my worn off spit ends on my waist length hair is drowning me out. So finally, I had decided to really CUT it. To a certain "long" degree of course. Meaning CUT but not that short la.


*Note the usage of the word "barber" instead of saloon.


And since I was feeling rather mundane and undecisive, I told the guy to just do whatever you like with my hair with the condition that it wasn't going to be short. Meaning still keep some length la. It was rather surprising since I was and always is particular about my hair whenever I am in the "barber shop". I guess you could call me a sensitive person when it comes to me hair. My previous"barber" visits has always ended up in me "threatening" the stylist before the cut and an almost tears scenario later on after (due to unsatisfaction and "hair loss").


Yes, I am one of the most difficult people to please when it comes to hair cuts. But today, it was all just so nonchalant. So numb and so... "nothing". When the guy was cutting my hair, I knew I didn't like the way it was turning out to be and yet I just sat there, observing in silence with hollow emotions. For a moment there, I thought I could feel several shrimps swimming in my head. :P


After the cut, wash, blow and massage, I stared at the big "barber" mirror and gazed at my new look. It was SHORT.... not short - short. But short (in my opinion). This was the shortest I've had in 10 years (I had short China doll cut style when I was 11). Seriously. Well, in a general and common view it may seem ok (shoulder length) but for me, it was just.... SHORT! The side was trimmed to the side of my "fringe" then going all the way down. I don't know all the particular ways to explain it in detail but for it it was just SHORT!!!


However, it felt really light! Seriously. I mean I wish I could have snapped a picture of the floor then to show you how much hair "adorned" it. My hair, my precious long virgin hair! If I were in my previous condition when I had my hair cut, I would have literally just cried from looking at it. But today, as said, I was just numb. I didn't even get angry at the guy! As the matter of fact, I am just.... "blur" to the max. "I just didn't care."


The only thing I took "joy" in was that it was a new and fresh look and I felt lighter. I kept flipping and bouncing my hair around. Like shooting a hair commercial. LOL. But anyway, everybody who saw my hair after the cut said it look really nice on me (which only consisted of family member, haha). And that it made me look younger (pffft! As if I don't look young enough already :P). Seriously, if I put a hair pin on my head (I have to now to block my "fringe" from dropping) and throw my hair back, I look like a kid. Like 16. Literally. Bahahahahah!!! The back of the hair is still "long" so to speak but the front and side is short, so from the front view, it seems like I had short China doll cut hair. LOL.


I have a little concern though. It may "look nice" (after being freshly cut and profesionally blow-ed) but what is going to happen after? I am not vain enough to take care of it constantly (which is why all my previous hair styles are simple - long and straight). I dont do anything "healthy" with it but wash and natural dry (lazy people like me dont use hair dryer) and I certainly wont go back often to trim and maintain it. So I guess in a month's time, it will be out of shape.


Bahahahahahaha!!!!!


As usual, Philee Tan always regrets what happends later after a hair cut. Anyway, as said earlier, don't care. Later only cry about it la. :P


I didnt take any pictures of my new hair cut to display but there are some random pics taken by my dad from tonight's dinner. It was my aunt's 54th Birthday and my uncle took us out for Chinese "fine dining" at this place called The Ming Room in Bangsar (which the bill ended up more than RM1k for only 7 peeps). So here are some photos to enlighten my boring blog and hopefully you get to glimpse a little of my new "hair". LOL.





We had a bottle of 1998 Belgium wine. And of course with my previous history with alchohol, I only had very little and I didnt even finish it. :)

First "Yee Sang" of the Year...

And here comes Mr. Lobster!!!


Lots of lobster meat wei... as in seriously with scallops etc. And later another lobster dish too.

Vege!!! And I actually ate them all. :P


Oink oink!!!


Oink again...hahah!


Lobster meee.... since it was my aunt's bday, mee was a compulsary.



"Suit Kap" with soya. In literal English terms, it is a special kind of couple frog punya fats!!!

LOL, for real. Suppose to be for "beauty"....hahah.



"Blur".... Look at how short my hair is (hard to see, cause I am in black)!!! LOL!... Random shot by dad.

One thing about my dad taking pics is he doesnt say "Cheese" or 1,2,3! He just snaps whenever he can without warning. So I dont really have a decent pic and I wasnt much in a mood to bother posing. As usual, my SE level did not permit it. :P


I dont know why but I like this pic, gives an annoying look but sorta emo and nonchalant feeling. Again, not the length of the hair!! Yes, its all about MY HAIR!!! Sue me!



Enough said.

*******************

I just had to post this pic up:

J.Co Doughnuts!!! Muahaha, at last!


At Pavilion with Yiang, I bought a dozen of them and she bought half a dozen. Btw, shopping there was great, we just need more CASH...lol.

Okay la... enough with pictures and yakking. Unless you wanna hear more about my HAIR!

LOL.

So please have a pleasant weekend and God bless

*Hugs*
