I broke up with vinson today.
He's been taking it SO hard... he's been threatening me that he wanna die and all those things... and most of all.. he's been waiting for 5-6 hours and counting under my condo waiting for a sign and for a hope that I'll be back with him. Sad, but true.

I've never had this kind of experience before. And its freaking me out SO MUCH. omg... haihz... I know he loves me damn alot and all.. but I just cant go on with him. I dont love him anymore. I care for him. but I dont love him.. so whats the point. I've tried to love him, but it just doesnt feel right. I felt stupid, felt like I was lying to myself. Why would I act like i love him and say that I love him even though I dont?????????

He saw me laughing with my mum when I was having a jog with her. And he felt more hurt, that I could laugh... and that he was in pain. I dont mean it this way... I just wont destroy my mum's peace n happiness because of my pain no????? Thats so egoistic!

I dunno what can I do now... I dunno what I should do to make him realise and to not do stupid things ofcourse.. he kept on telling me to say taht I hate him and not wanting to meet him ever again. I dont! I dont hate him and I still want to meet him but NOT now!!! He told me to swear in the name of JC! I DONT WANNA DO THAT!!!!

agh....
i dunno guys can be such a pain in d ass...
help help help... agh....im so sad... sad that he turned out phsyco. Drank alchohol n made fun of himself this way. I hope soon he'll find his way to reality, and be able to face the truth, go on with his life. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on a break with love.

I visited a new shopping mall in Jakarta today, its called Grand Indonesia and their tagline's "the heART of shopping" HAHAHAHA.. i think.. as far as I can recall...

Anyway.. this shopping mall is Wonderful (notice the capital W??) It's been divided into 2 parts, west & east mall. This huge shopping mall will cover your whole entire day if you'd like your footprints to be all over it. West mall isnt really fully opened yet though.. GI (grand indonesia) is creatively built, I dont know how many designers they hired to get this done but its architecture and overall design is definitely astounding.

Their concept is prolly to get you all over the world in one mall, and to have everything in there. LOL! Well, thats what I get... They set the mood of each countries so well that you feel you're in some cartoonic wonderland.. like Cinderella.. or Mario Bros on a mission!! LOL!

Escalators, uneven placings makes it look so different. Reminds me alot of The Gardens' bridges.

This is a part of the west mall, Seibu is a department store from Japan. Looks like a normal shopping center to you still? Wait till you see whats upstairs =)

My youngest older bro.. posing LOL! errrmm... manequinn style? or what?? This is inside Seibu btw.

Okay, heading on upstairs... this is a shot of the ceiling. I find it so catchy and moody :p Maybe creepy.. if my house have something like this.. I dont think i'd like it hahaha!! but it sure looks good here!

In the NY district spot, they have like a... umm.. grungy garagee looking street with a number of musical instruments, it was for sale, like this one's Rp 10.150.000.00 (10mil, approx RM 4-5k)

I just love this pic of them! This is the place where you can imagine it to be something like Romeo & Juliet's scene of "romeo romeo, where for art thou romeo" part, there's a staircase to go up and it was full of starry ceiling with red velvet curtains on the big erm.. tunnel looking door. LOL! I find my mum's peace face super cute cute hahahah!!!! I dont even know she was doing that :P

Guuess which part of a country this is??? If you guessed ISTANBUL, you'rrrreee right! The awesome lamps were fully imported and I SO love how they played with fabric here. So so so elegant no? Even when you just got in the istanbul looking place, the arabic instrumental songs starts playing, you can just imagine yourself with those arabic clothings! Well... obviously the sexy ones.. sheer colourful ones.. fuhhh... sexayy...

And where are we now? Yes yes... this is that big golden chandelier. But what is it doing in a shopping mall right? I'd imagine this kinda thing to be placed in a Grand Ball, where you dance with those big big dresses and men with top hats arriving the ball with their chariots of horses.. fuaa... yes yes.. i think this part's the British part.

Yup.. see? British? right? =)

Coming to USA again, as you can see... the lanterns would probably represent chinatown or sumtin haha! And posters of olden looking advertisments too! Like campbellis soup and "cheer" detergent haha!

Yup yup, see.. I've been to so many places all over the world in one day! Forget about "around the world in 80 days" This will cover up most of it already! This is prolly the USA part.. Love the look where it looks moody & like train station looking look... ish. LOL I can imagine the beggars sitting down on the sides of the roads already! that would add up the mood no?
This mall has a musical fountain every hour and everyday. And its' held here, As you can see it really does look somehow like a concert hall or a theatre or something haha! But in the end, it was a cafe and a big empty space and a fountain =) its cool enough
I sat in this cafe waiting for the musical fountain to play.. enjoying my cookies n cream ice blended with my soup with my bro & my mum
And here, the musical fountain starts to play. Quite a scene for a mall i'd say.

My mushroom soup =) yummy!

I tried to get closer to the fountain to take a couple of shots, lotsa ppl were recording the show to their phones LOL

another shot of it. wee!

And its finished! This is how it looks like normally. so classy :p

So after that, I met up with my sister in law, and we had some time shopping and we couldnt feel that the time flew. It was 9pm and we had our dinner in the foodcourt, indonesian traditional cuisine that is =)

All in all, it was a great experience, a must go if you've been thinking to visit this country where lotsa bombs and riots been done. Its not a bad place to visit! Honestly! Come on here to Jakarta and visit it for yourself haha! Oh, there are more countries in the interior thingy as well.. such as Japan, Holland & China... and many more!!

Well.. Grand Indonesia.. is GRAND =)

-------------------------------------------------------------

On a more personal side, I've been stuck at home most of the days... coz bros are all working.. and my sis in law's father passed away in Hong Kong last week, he waas then cremated in HK and brought back to Jakarta. His ashes has been thrown to the sea. Well, hopefully he's all good up there and find his way to heaven.

Also, I've been shopping for Bananas ofcourse.. cant wait to get back!! But I can wait for sch.. LOL.. and most of all.. I miss the stupid gank alot... Jealous.. coz I cant go for the Melaka trip with you guys!!! LOL!!

Oh, and i've had my haircut, its damn short now.. LOL.. you can see it in the pic I took in GI..the "Bus stop" pic hahah!!

Okay.. for now, thats it then!!

till then!

TaA!!

I WANT A PUPPY!!! hikz hikz hikz... I went to a church in Cheras yesterday, coz the priest asked my dad whether he'd like to pick some rambutans from his church tree, so we went haha! The first thing I saw.. or actually the first 7 living things.. are those 7 cute little puppies!! I didnt take pictures of all of them.. But they all looked different, there are some completely brown with shorter hair, and some brown with 3 spots near its butt!! I wanted to take one home, it's RM100 and the money goes to Church Building Fund, they're still short of quite alot of cash, and if you're planning to get a puppy, and/or would just like to donate and all, contact me kays =)

I wanted this puppy .. the one's showing on the photo.. The priest just named it "Chindian" today LOLOL!!! for the black & white.. hahaha! Hmm.. the thing is that, my mum dislikes all furry pets, she only loves her fishes.. guppies & moss eating lizard like fish. EEKK!!!!!!!

ChindiaN!

Actually.. this pic kinda scares me.. coz the eyes looks like human eyes LOL!!!

And oh, this breed will grow quite big.. medium sized dog.. thats why I cant get it.. coz I live in a condo, and ya di da di da...

---------------------
Anyway, I went to Jazz Festival in Mont Kiara Plaza last saturday, had some cocktails and a can of beer.. went there with my bee efff...... he got bored there, and I got bored there as he just sat there with his long face quietly.. so I got bored too...
But then I tried to pick up some topics to talk about.. like a waiter who keeps this table infront of us, and he would just stop and block my view. GOSH.. I still remember his face.. I kept calling him to move but he acts like he doesnt listen.. those faces you feel like slapping LOL!!

So here's both of us.. with our stupid faces =)

I realize that I dont look good in pictures anymore.. I dont know why though, I used to think I was super photogenic, but now, I feel like every pictures I take, I look sucky in it.. =(

4:51 AM

I know I have been away from the blogging world for quite some time, here's why:

Corporate Identity was a killer, Joseph the lecturer never had the tiniest bit of happiness in my work. So it was sorta killing me.
I've been concentrating on online shopping a lot haha! Its so much fun there! You should try it out! start by going to www.thebouncingbananas.blogspot.com !!
You know how rocky me and the bee eff were, we had crazy fights =) but so far still holding on peeps! =)

---------------------------

Okay.. I was tagged by MISH! Grarr.. uu aaaaahhh...
Oh oh.. btw.. do you know that MISH is being pinkified??? I know! She's starting to love pink!! I mean every time we shop for Bouncing Bananas, she's always all over pink stuff! Great news no? =)

alright, back on the tagging.
Like any tag, it comes with a set of rules. In this case, the rules are as follows:
. state 15 weird things/ habits/ little known facts about yourself
. The 10 people I tag are to then to follow my footsteps and write their own 15 weird things/habits and little known facts.
. No tag backs (as in once ive done this, please dont tag this exact tag again. pls n tenkius.)

1. I was born in PONTIANAK!
Freaked out? I'm not a vampire or anything okay. In Indonesia, Pontianak is a country and vampires are called kuntilanak. NOT pontianak. I used to be so angry at Malaysian people who keep calling Pontianak freaky... But I'm used to it now =)

2. I love to burst bubbly blisters
I just hate it when theres something bulging out of no where okay. But yes.. the after effects of bursting your blisters are that you enjoy seeing the water running through that small hole & the super painful feeling for a few days (hate that part).

3. I've had 3 places of my body stitched
Unlike Mr.Joker from Batman, I dont think he went to the hospital and stitched his "koyak"ed lips did he? But I did had my legs & tongue stitched. I bet that whats in your head now's "TONGUE?? oh my Goofy in his sexy lingerie!!!!" Yes.. I've had my tongue stitched first, then my right leg. I had my tongue stitched when I was a little baby, my babysitter wasn't responsible nuff' she carried me and my teeth bit my tongue, and I cried. So she was scared and put me to bed to sleep. My mum found me on the bed sleeping surrounded by blood.. hmm..
And the other 2 on my legs were gotten when I was around the age of 4? I broke a BIG ornament in the shape of a dog, and I sat on it. LOL! So I have 1 on my calf & 1 on my thigh.

4. My first so called "boyfriend" was Polish
LOL! Yeap, he was originated from Warsaw, Poland. His name is Michael and we were pretty much together since primary 4 till primary 5 LOL!!! Okay. This, once again might freak you out. Since we didnt know much about "love" or the "boyfriend & girlfriend" thing.. We do not kiss on lips n all.. He kinda bit my hand.. I dont know why. Polish flirting method? LOL! And a lot of other girls liked him as well, but he liked me best =) HAH!

5. 2 minutes are enough for me to shower
I know some of you know this. But well.. for those who dont.. Many guys have find it quite surprising, since girls would normally take hours no? Well, I used to take 2 hours to shower. But that was when I was 12 and wasted soaps & conditioners on my daily naked and inedible cook show in front of the mirror.

6. I used to speak French
Well.. I used to.. Now I really J'e ne se pas whatever you speak in francais. It was really hard okay... I mean come on. A table is a SHE and a chair is a HE....or the other way round. It was THAT hard...

7. I used to be a netball captain in my U18 team (Highschool)
I mean how cool was that!!! But I dropped out after quite some time, since I kept being punished for doing mistakes on the game (30 laps on FOOTBALL FIELD okay!!!) and I had to do final projects on my design technology subject.. so yea..

8. I argue with my bf ALOT
I don't know when we're gonna be 100% perfectly fine, I don't even know if its gonna happen. But whatever it is, let Mr.JC in heaven lead the way!

9. I only take BROWN caramel popcorns
With that, I mean I pick my caramel popcorns. I don't eat the white ones. I take the ones that are covered with ALOT of caramels.. yumm... and I taught my nephew to do so too.. (I shouldn't.. now who's gonna eat all the white ones..)

10. Sweets make me happy!! and fat
I am a HUGE fan of sweet stuff.. I have sweet tooth!!!! My teeth are not being too supportive of me eating lots of sweet stuff though =( ... however I'm trying to cut down on sweets now since I'm supposed to be on a diet LOL!!

11. I blame Roti Canai on making me fat in the first place.
I mean seriously. I was nice and lean when I was in Jakarta as a kid. And just after I moved to Melaka, I fell deeply in love with roti canai and ate it everyday lunch time in school. AHHH!!! If I did not do that, I dont even need to be on a diet!!!!!

12. I'm interested with lotsa things, but I dont completely master any.
I know it sucks right. Such a bad behavior. Such as, I used to be crazy with clay.. and now I'm too lazy to even mold one. And miniatures, cooking, nail art, and so on and so forth.

13. I still kiss and hug my parents goodnight
It has been like that since the first time I learn to talk. I always have this drill "Good night, sweet dreams, God Bless You, I love you!" And I do the cross sign on their forehead and kiss them on the cheek. WEE!!!

14. I keep all my birthday cards, diaries & gifts
Yes, even if I wrote about my super ex boyfriend, their gifts, enemies' birthday cards for me and all sorts of stuff. I keep them all.

15. I WILL lose 10kgs of my weight!!!
It might not be soon, but it WILL happen!! Maybe when I get rich and get personal trainer or something... And lipo on all the other excess fats. HAHAHA!!!

And oh.. I'm not gonna tag anyone since I'm too lazy to do it..
But feel free to do it whoever you are!!! =) LOL!!

-------------

I watched the X-files today with my parents... it was okay! Not too shabby... but my mum fell asleep in the starting of the movie, she always does that, and she'll be automatically awake in the fun part of the movie. LOL!
And, Vinson came over to my place yesterday... we swam & ate the baked pasta I made. Then we went to Plaza Mont Kiara for the Jazz Festival this year. IT SUX! Big time!!!!
Cant wait for the shopping trip for bananas tomorrow with Mish!! I miss that place!! And we're going to have our first offline sales in Bijou Bazaar this coming Saturday 2nd Aug 08!!!
So if you can, please come and show your support!!

Where : Bijou Bazaar @ Jeumpa D'ramo 03
Address: 102 - 104 Jalan Maarof, Bangsar
Date: Saturday, 2nd August only
Time: 11AM - Late

Okay, I think its enough writing for now! Need a warm shower =)
toodles!!!

Am I stupid or what?

or.. am I not stupid...?

I'm having a really really bad time here.. okay.. currently the bf had just gone back Indonesia today, gonna have his holiday times few days in Bali.. Currently in Jakarta.. And I was still pissed at him.. for what happened last night, and for everything else.

I talked about it 2 my mum.. that I realised that he's been quite stingy to me these few months.. I was pissed at him yesterday, that he'd want to take RM3 that I paid him for my ice lemon tea.. and I declined his offer to pay me RM5 for his crispy popiah.. lol.. The answer is that.. "hey.. I'm ur gf.. y are you treating me like your friend?" I thought gf/bf are supposed 2 not count on whatever they owe to each other... And I thought guys are more to the ones who should be treating the girls n stuff... well that's what I was told and taught.. and thats how my brothers treated his ex gfs/wives... But for my own experience.. I realised that he used to treat me real good during the first year... surprising birthday presents, romantic valentine's day... really full of surprises... I dont think that lasted for a year... maybe just 6 months. He used to give me days that I will remember forever kinda thing... I dont ask to have all these experiences for every single day... but probably just on special occasions?
I'm quite jealous of my mum for this matter.. even though sometimes my dad could be a handful... especially when he gets sick, then he'll be scolding every1 and demanded every1 to serve him... but then again, there are always times that he treated my mum SUPER romantic... and he still can make my mum laugh hysterically and all... But me n the bf... we might not be one of a kind anymore...?
I dont even remember what he did 2 me this year's valentines.. but last year, i remembered it so clearly.. even though he was out of town... but he made my day..
Maybe you could say that I'm demanding so much... but I just cant take the change... we're not even married and he's already taking me for granted.. not making much efforts anymore.. and in return, he made me feel sickened about him sometimes... that's how i remember my days with him these few months. sickening.. I need to feel appreciated and loved. I need all the sweet times where we could whisper to each other and talk about a bucket of topics... I dont even care if he talks about his friends, his class, his childhood stories and so on. but not just to sit there and stare blankly at God knows what. Wait.. you guys might think "then you should talk and confront him about this" I HAVE TRIED. A million or a gazillion times. But he'll fight back and so on... probably this might be because of the difference in parental teachings of both of us.. maybe we're just not made for each other...
And I thought he was my other half...
Complaining about him could take me forever to finish.. I know there are some good things about him.. just that with all those stupid things that he had done, its been buried down under all the negativities... so sometimes you just cant think of the positiveness of that person... I know.. there's a saying "if there's 10 bad things and 1 good thing about a person, look at that 1 thing." I quite like that quote. but I just cant imagine how im gonna live with this kind of guy. So I'll look at that 1 good thing and take him as a friend? OR he could change and I keep him with me?

He said that we're still pak tor-ing.. and thats why he needs me to cash out.. and he said that I "dont want to spend money for both of us". WHAT is the matter with cash nowadays... I know la petrol moolah gone up.. but.. haihz.. as I have said before.. the parental teachings I went through is that the GUYS are dominant in spending money for the girls.. such as during dating and lunch/dinner etc. And if the girl feels bad for the guy who keeps kachinging out cash... then she will have the choice to pay for the guy.

Okay.. enough of this. its been so unclear.. I'm so confused in all these fuzziness..

Currently we're on a break... we will have very minimal communications to each other for us to get on with each other's lives. And just 30 mins after I decided that, I went along to call him just to hear his voice for the last time for this "break". Just made my tears flow like waterfall.. LOL.. like niagara falls with the sound of "HUUUUUU...hik hik... HUUUUUUUU" like that...

In a way, this break might be good for him no? He gets 2 stay up late and watch his Euro without me complaining that he kept on sleeping 5am in the morning... and he gets to play his futsal with his frens and all... and I wont complain whenever he gets injuries... and plus.. he will be able to enjoy his time to the fullest in Bali... right??

And I'll be here trying to enjoy myself with my family and friends... and plus.. my brother,wife & 2 wonderful nephews are coming here this friday.. So I hope this will cheer me up...

I think u guys stopped reading long ago dy...
but thats not the point.. I just need a place to release the sadness..

TaA
