Don't You Evah
My super embarrassing picture somewhere in 1U. Find it if you can!
Bear in mind I was only eleven then. My drawing has improved a lot since then. Case in point:
And you thought I was joking. KayKay! I did this for you, feel honored alright? Adrian only got a fire-breathing dinosaur.

Take A Drink
Yesterday, KayKay and I were cracking our heads over where to go on Friday, which was yesterday. I mean, it's the rainy season now so it's not like we can go to the zoo or anything (OH THANK GOD!). So we were left scratching our heads about where we could go to do more tourist stuff.
I actually went on Google and keyed in "Things to do in KL". Haha! And then they popped up all sorts of stupid things like the National Mosque and all that. Are we non-Muslims even allowed in? And then it listed the Petrosains as one of the "tourists attractions" and I was like "Oooooooh."
The last time I went to Petrosains, I was about 10 or something and everything just seemed so fascinating to me. But then when we went there yesterday, everything looked so run down and not well maintained so it was like, would you really want to pay Rm12 per person to go see such an old, out of date exhibition? And I wasn't really in the mood for pretending that I'm having fun, so we gave Petrosains a pass and contented ourselves with sitting on a bench.
I know right, go all the way to KLCC to sit on a bench. So WTF. But I was in a really lousy mood during the morning, and couldn't muster up any excitement for any activities other than sitting around and moping.
OH!! On a very random note, I popped into Kinokuniya to see if they had The Time Traveler's Wife.
I've been searching for this book at all major book stores all over KL. At Midvalley and Gardens, at Bangsar Shopping Center, at Bangsar Village, at the Curve and Ikano and at 1Utama. It's sold out every-freaking-where! It's even got to the point where I can't be bothered to look for the book on the shelf and just ask any staff working at the store, and they don't even need to look it up and they can very confidently tell me that it's out of stock.
Kinokuniya was my last hope. I went up to the counter and the nice lady working there very happily told me that yes, they do have the stock! I was so happy, I started bouncing. Seriously. But I have been looking for this book for quite some time, and traveled all over to look for it too, I might add. Waste of petrol and time.
Also, they have a 20% discount on the book if you buy another item. So I bought a pen. Haha! Should have bought an eraser or something. Save a bit more money.
But anyway, after all that excitement (yeah, my life is so boring that buying a book is exciting to me), I got hungry. Hahaha. Gosh I sound like such a pig. And everyone who knows me knows that my current favourite place to eat at is Chilis. I'm so addicted to their mashed potatoes. It's all thanks to KM for introducing that to me on one deary afternoon when we ate at the Chilis at BSC.
Once, I made an offhand comment about trying out their margaritas and KayKay actually remembered! So we ordered their Presidente Margarita because one, the server recommended it, and two, you get to shake and mix the drink yourself too! The second reason only applies to me though. KayKay probably picked it because of the liqueur in the drink.
We're both addicted to grape soda. We have it whenever we can. No knocking on grape soda! It has been known to have mysterious healing powers. When we were in Penang, KayKay got a little sick so after resting for a while, we got some grape soda. Usually, the gas in the soda would make one feel even more sick, but in KayKay's case, it made her feel much better. So yeah, the grape soda works in mysterious ways.
Lunch for two includes nachos, mashed potatoes, grape soda and margarita. Yummyyyy
Look Adrian! Food!! Hahahaha
After lunch, we went off to the Patronas Gallery. I know they said we weren't allowed to bring cameras in, but I don't think a camera phone counts, right? Haha. I saw this one picture that was so so so striking, I can't help but snap a picture of it.
I love it so much! Wish I could be so talented. I've only got the gift of the gab. Gah!

Life In Technicolor
I love arts and crafts. I do, I really do. If I had the time, I would always do DIY stuff instead of getting stuff straight from the stores. I would rather make something special for someone as a present than shelling out money to buy them gifts. I really would, and end up spending more money than I would if I got the store-bought, mass produced, mindless, thoughtless, soulless gifts but yeah, these things come from the heart. I would do this for each and every gift I give, but I would only do it for my lovvies because they are special and I love them so I would spend long hours doing something like this for them.
So if you get something personalized from me, you better know I love you! Either that or I have too much time on my hands.
Anyway, I haven't done all these DIY stuff in ages so when Nat proposed that we do a lil something something (get your minds out of the gutter!). But it's all hush-hush now, so yeah. Here's the (not so important) leaked details.
We didn't have any materials or anything, so we went shopping in Ikea. I love love love Ikea! Honestly, I would love to live in Ikea if I could. I love how everything is so neat and tidy. I love how everything compliments each other. I love the clean lines and the bright colors. I just love love love everything about Ikea!
Zomg spastic me.
We were going from set to set looking at different set-ups of homes and rooms and all that and picking out what we liked and what we didn't and getting ideas for our own future homes. Or at least that was what I was doing. Don't know about Nat... I think we spent about what, two and a half hours inside Ikea? I could spend the whole bloody day there wei!
But yeah, then we went to the restaurant at Ikea for lunch. The place was packed to the brim! Lunch hour mah. Next time, we should really get our butts there before twelve. That way we wouldn't need to line up for such a long time to get to our food and plus, the food would be warm.
Vegetarian pasta for Rm5. It was bland. Or like how a certain someone put it, "Tomato sauce with spices." Haha. So true. I can cook better than this laa. It was so yucky that we didn't even finish it. I think we left like half of it. What a waste. Nat seems to think it was okay though. Poor dear, I don't think she has ever had really really good pasta before. Gots to bring her somewhere for her to pamper her tastebuds.
Chicken ham and cheese sandwich for um, less than Rm10 lah. Don't remember. I don't know why we took this. Omg. I was so full, I only had like, four bites and I stopped enjoying it. Gah. I don't know why people like using chicken ham. It doesn't really taste that good. For me, it's either pork ham (which is the original ham anyway!) or turkey ham. Turkey ham is goooooood. And healthier than pork ham.
Beef meatballs for Rm5 too. We got the kiddy size. And it's soooo good! And filling too. Two and half balls later (HAHAHAHA!), I was already pretty contented. And the fries are really good too. Now I know why everyone keeps going on and on about the meatballs in Ikea.
Daim cake. Nat says it's the candy Daim covering cake. It was good, but unfortunately we were already sooo stuffed by the time it was time for dessert that we couldn't fully enjoy it. What a waste. Oh well. Lunch at Ikea's actually pretty cheap! I'd totally go back there for lunch next time.
After reaching back home, we went straight up to my room to get started on Nat's lil project. Naturally, we got a little over-excited and started brainstorming like crazy and throwing ideas around until we were practically drowning in them. But we had loads of fun along the way. Nat wants to keep the whole thing on the down low, so the only pictures I'm allowed to put up is of Mr. Smiley.
It started off with a whacky idea proposed by Nat and reinforced by me, and Mr Smiley was born! Then because I got itchy fingers, I stamped mine and Nat's name on it.
Then we got creative and took pictures with Mr. Smiley.
Look at my barbell! Look look! Doncha wish you had one too? Hehe. Nat just figured out that Cammy can take pictures that are like, stained with color. There's purple (mah fav), blue, green, sepia, black and white and original.
Mr. Smiley likes One Tree Hill too. Nat was waaay too many props for this picture. Book and cap. Unfair! I'm jealous. All I got for a prop is my industrial piercing. =\
I like this picture of me adding more decals. I look like some kindergartner who's concentrating really hard so that I would not color outside of the lines. Anyway, after trying (and failing miserably) to be creative, TA-DA!!

This One's A Cheap Shot
Why can't all our buildings be Early American-esque? They're so much prettier than the ones scattered all around town.
