procrastinator i am! i've actually been wanting to blog since last week but i just can't find anything to say once i logged in to blogger. maybe because i've had my attention on something new, my PSP. woohoo! been playing this game called Burnout Legends which is freaking exciting. u get to choose what type of race u want, which is:

Road Rage - u knock off the other cars and see whether u can break the record for the most takedowns in that area.
Crash - they give u trucks/vans/trailers and you are sposed to crash into heavy traffic, creating a mass destruction of metal. Midah's favourite. She is so sick she even imagines herself using a remote control car and create a crash site, while waiting for a cab. then she laughs evilly.
Race - just the basic race where u fight with 3 others cars and become the first.
Time Attack - race against the time. bo-ring.
Pursuit - the hardest one of them all. u're in a cop car and you have to freaking chase a culprit's car and stop them from getting away. the culprit's car is freaking fast okay!

those with a PSP should definitely try this one. i think they have more than one type of Burnout.

Also you should try LocoRoco. mindless fun. really not sure it's in what language though. website here. Geez, Sony should consider paying me for advertising their games.

I have also settled down with a book., finally. I always have 2nd thoughts about buying a book because it's getting too expensive , and i would just read it once and put it aside to collest dust. The next time i would probably read it is when i'm cleaning out my stuff and i stumble upon it. It's a pretty good book. Picked it up and put it down about 3 times at Borders before i actually bought it. its quite cheap though. less than 20 bucks.

Book is titled My Sister's Keeper by author Jodie Picoult. It's about this 13 year old girl(Anna), who was conceived by mixing good chromosomes together
(designer baby they call it) by a doctor, for the purpose of saving her older sister(Kate) who is diagnosed with leukemia. All her life, Anna has undergone surgeries and multiple jabs to help Kate recover after a relapse. When Kate grows older and her organs are failing, they suggest that Anna donates one of her kidneys so that Kate would get to live a little longer. Anna starts to think of what her life would be, without her sister and so, she engages the best lawyer and files a lawsuit against her parents. Every chapter is about what is happening in the minds of the different characters in the story. The story is fiction but its pretty damn good and i especially love the ending. it's unexpected, i almost cried. I've finished reading it. Anyone wants to borrow after Mid & Boon is done?
I learned my lesson and bought the book after much hesitation because i've been looking for this book called Yakuza Moon by Shoko Tendo. It's a biography about Shoko, who is the daughter of a Yakuza Boss and her life's tribulations. She has
tattoos all over her body which she covers up to hide because it's nothing she feels proud of. sidetrack - her tattoos nice sia! but anyway , i saw it once at kinokuniya bugis and i HESITATED to buy it because i wasn't sure it was worth the bucks. Now it's a sellout. And i can't find it anywhere. Serves me right. Next time, dont hesitate and when someone tells u to think twice, dont take heed and just GO AHEAD! which reminds me, i'm thinking of buying an Onitsuka Tiger Shoe, Mexico Tigress which is super nice!!! so i'm hesitating, again! should i buy? what say you?

the concept is the same, but a different color and texture which i cant find the pic on the website.

so should i or should i not?

-edit-
i've got the Yakuza Moon Book! thanks to Boon for wandering around aimlessly before he met me!! and its 35 freaking dollars for a hardcover!!!!!!
i thought twice, and said to myself, LEARNED MY LESSON. and went to the counter. hee~!
and no Mid, i'm reading it first, because I BOUGHT IT. dont be silly!

Preparation of Ninie and Is Wedding on 300807

i went for a haircut in the afternoon as my hair was starting to get unruly and its been months since i got a trim. after which my aunt made me go on an errand to help her buy marks and spencer cookies and i scouted for ninie's aromatherapy burner as well. and i shopped for crocs prima while waiting for the hairstylist to finish with his customer(he said come back 1 hr later). i still hate the other types of crocs though. what compelled me to buy was crocs pins. lame excuse. got back home and started to wrap the berkats. ninie did her henna so she couldnt do anything while waiting for it to dry. and cleaned the house a little bit. moved the living room furniture to the balcony so there's space for the nikah ceremony. since there was some leftover henna, ninie wanted to draw something artistic on my feet but didnt manage to, because its harder to draw then it seems! instead she drew a mouse and cheese on my right feet, and a cat, a fish and a pawprint on my left feet. artistic indeed.


Preparation of Ninie and Is Wedding 310807

got awoken by the kecohrable aunts and i couldn't sleep further. did more wrappings of the berkats and the aunts went down to geylang to get stuff for the sireh anak dara. went downstairs to take a peek at the wedding area and was pretty much awed at the decor. whole day was mostly wrapping the berkats(its seriously alot!!) and more people came around evening to help out. the aunts did the sireh dara and at night, i sent some food downstairs for guests who couldnt make it on the wedding day itself. my phone was ringing non stop of mom/aunts calling me from downstairs when i was upstairs, and i had to go downstairs to pass them something and go upstairs again(makes sense?). was really really busy the whole day and my back was freaking aching by night. i vaguely remember what other stuff i did, cuz mostly was being asked to do random things, while doing some other things. hmmm. multitasker i am. ninie's fresh flowers were delivered at nearly midnight, in order to keep the flowers fresh for the next day. loveeeeeed the flowers, white lilies and white roses and some other green leaves that makes it all niceeeee.it was already nearly 2am, and the groom was still mingling with his guests downstairs. bride is getting worried groom wont wake up in time. heehee. anyway where are my cats? hiding among the furniture at the balcony, escaping from the hustle and bustle of the people at home.


Ninie and Is Wedding Day 010907

finally the day is here. went downstairs to eat some breakfast. and went up to get ready for the nikah ceremony. so excited cuz i cant believe my only sister is getting married in less than 2 hours. by 12, guests filled the living room and the groom was already seated with the tok kadi, and the wakils. bak buk bak buk when its time for the groom to say that he accepts the nikah, he got so nervous that he had to repeat it 3 times. too bad i didnt videocam it. haha! went downstairs with the rest while the newlyweds changed their outfits. by 330pm, the bride was already at the pelamin waiting, and the groom was under the block waiting for the hadrah. hadrah was still changing into their outfits under the void deck. they came, they walked to the pelamin, you know all the necessary things with the silat performed and everything, and picture takings. got so busy as i was the part time photog for ninie that i left ifah alone most of the time. im really sorry babe! i met many relatives which i didnt know exist, smiled and walked off as some other people had called for me. i've never mingled with so many people in a day, in my life. and of course, the qn turns to me, "when's ur turn?" which i promptly replied "long long way to go. i'm still young!! wait until i find someone rich enough to be my husband(selfish talk) hahahaha!". evening, the newlyweds came down again with a change of outfit and another round of photo takings before going around to salam the guests, and call it a day. so there you have it. a summary of my sister and "abang" is wedding. i still am not used to calling him abang!!!
