So i’ve decided to stay in Bangkok for 3 weeks, and i leave in 6 hours.
But even then, i’m coming back to KL in between for 48 hours to attend:
2 events, a shoot and an interview.
Cram gila.
But i’m not complaining, i’m totally loving it!
I’m in a good place right now… and i’m very happy.
During a conversation over lunch, i told Tong how i wake up every morning feeling happy and extremely fortunate.
He said that it was good, as not many people feel that way.
And after he said that, i felt even luckier!
I’m in a constant good mood, or if not smiling to myself like a mad person,
i’m at peace (i think!).
Even returning to bad drivers on KL roads and haze, after the brilliant blue Bali sky couldn’t faze me for more than 10 seconds.
I hope i’m not jinxing myself writing this!
I dunno, i just wanted to blar how happy i am,
and i’m not even in love or anything.
It’s like, i have that feeling i had before when i was in love,
but this time, there’s noone in the picture but me and Life.
After lots of unintentional reflection in Bali,
i understand how so many things around me are temporary.
And how i should embrace as much as i can.
I’ve started losing interest in materiel things.
Don’t get me wrong, i still love to shop
But i don’t place as much importance on it as i used to.
Last year, i thought to myself that when i have 5k to blow,
I’d get myself a designer bag.
This year, i had 5k to drop on something and reward myself,
But i didn’t want a designer bag anymore.
If i had to choose between a bag and a trip,
i’d much rather take a trip.
So i’m starting to save for a Euro trip in May 2010.
I’ve been asking friends around how much i should put away and got quotes from 15-20k.
Milcah lagi best, quoted me 21k for a week -_-
“21k in a week?! What the frick did you spend on??” “Oh, cos we stayed at the Hilton, etc”
“Milcah. I’m not staying at the Hilton okay!”
Trips aside, i’m also starting to slowly get rid of things that i love,
but things that i feel will benefit other friends.
Like certain books, clothes i know they like, etc.
I don’t need all these things, i tell myself.
And hoarding them is not bringing anyone additional happiness.
I feel like Life is already giving me so much,
that i need and want to share this.
I feel it has to go around.
In some ways, i’ve managed to reignite how i was when i was younger,
and i’m so happy i managed to do it.
I’ve not ‘made and given’ away anything for ages
(i used to make SO many cards and funny things in school)
and just recently found myself gleefully packing Bali party packs to give to a few friends.
Wow that turned out to be some long rambling!
End of the story is: I feel that when the Universe is giving me so much,
i don’t want to be greedy / lose the plot / fuck it up.
So i try to give back in other ways, and it feels fantastic.
I have so much to blog about, but i really need to get my hair done by Milcah
before i leave for bkk!
Then have meeting with Nike peeps, and Friend-niversary dinner with RowdyRudy!
Happy Friend-niversary Sayang!
It’s been 2 years since our first drink together at Terrace Bar
and found out we’re cut from the same cloth of madness.
I know i will never find another friend like you (tho i never tell you this and end up writing it on my blog for you to read instead :p)
and even tho i’m a bitch to you sometimes, i don’t mean it, and i’m sorry.
Here’s to more years of our friendship with each other,
and being there for each other as life brings us along Its Way.
Love love.

Rushing for time and last thing i wanna do is paste a message from Nike for World AIDS Day >
Today, the world celebrates World AIDS Day.
As part of our community outreach program, Nike will be partnering with the (RED) foundation to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa by delivering programs that offers education and medication through sport to the African community.
The Nike and (RED) concept is simple – we’re inviting people to “Lace up, Save Lives” by purchasing a pair of Nike (RED) laces.
100% profits from this sale will be donated equally between the (RED) Global Fund and the King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) that will support football-based community initiatives.
The laces are only RM15, and can be purchased from all Nike stores nationwide.
To commemorate the launch, Nike and (RED) have teamed up with social media network Twitter (www.twitter.com) – on December 1st, Twitter’s homepage will turn RED to support the cause that Nike and (RED) are championing whilst turning tweets red when it speaks about the ‘Lace Up, Save Lives’ cause.
Be a part of this campaign by posting tweets with #laceupsavelives #red that will turn your tweets RED as a sign of your support to fighting HIV/AIDS in Africa –
For example: Today is World AIDS Day. Together we can fight AIDS in Africa through sport. www.nikefootball.com/red #laceupsavelives #red
All tweets with the hash-tags #laceupsavelives #red will signal a color change on December 1st. We currently have global influencers and organizations such as Ashton Kutcher, John Legend, People Magazine, Russell Simmons and more who have committed their support with their Twitter accounts and by linking their tweets back to www.nikefootball.com/red
Please show your support with this simple and great initiative to increase awareness to the fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. Lace Up, Save Lives.
Just got back from Bali last night and i’m trying to get everything i’m supposed to get done,
before i leave for Bangkok on Wed morning.
Checked that my flight time is 7:50 am and totally regret buying a morning ticket now -_-
While i get my act together and wonder which blogposts to put up first
(still have lots to tell bout Jakarta, Ipoh wedding, previous Bali Gili trip, and recent Bali trip),
here are some past posts you can read:
My lovely designer friend Jimmy Lim told me that the last dress
he showed on the runway at MIFW was inspired by me!
*squeal!*
He said: Did you see the fairy at my show? The last outfit was inspired by you – someone walking into the woods and getting spellbound and morphing into a beautiful moth fairy, haha!
1. Never leave SpankyCammy alone with a Special Leaf. She ends up breaking it.
2. Laundry basket can be disguised as big wastepaper basket + makeshift table.
3. Sparkles in drinks aren’t poisonous.
4. Never to throw glasses into a pool.
5. Pom poms taste furry.
6. One can sit and balance on a pool ball as long as laughter doesn’t occur.
7. Only 2 people can fit comfortably in the hot tub.
8. You can hear a different world by putting your ear to a pool ball (kinda like a shell!)
9. Leaving wabbits out on the pavement results in villa cleaners accidentally watering them.
10. Always hang streamers higher and tighter cos they droop by end of day (like saggy tits, according to someone 0_o)
