i am happy to report that i slept last night without the help of Afidil :)

instead, took a shot of DOM, 10 min before hitting the sack. mommy asked me to do that one. "take one shot every night before going to sleep ok. can sleep better one, trust mommy. and also, next time, during labour time, easier on you and the baby also."

-_-

mr tay is on the way to Penang with his colleagues now. he'll be free from me till Monday for the PC Fair. i damn benci PC Fairs. each time there's a PC Fair, baby has to work throughout the entire weekend till closing/packing time which is about 11+ and by the time he's usually done, he only reaches home by 1am. and this is NOT the only weekend that's gonna be sacrificed. there's PC Fair KL next weekend and followed by PC Fair JB.

so i'm camping at puchong till Sunday. get lots of sleep + home-cooked meals by mommy + disturb the brother + watch Beatles concert with daddy + pamper sessions (facial, hair treatments, mani + pedi) + shopping. shhh.

went for Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium with mr tay, grace and adrian last night. the movie's not too bad, started off pretty good but the ending was a bit abrupt, kinda like 'potong stim'. natalie portman, was at her usual gorgeous self. i loved all her quirky sense of fashion throughout the entire movie! dustin hoffman was fantastic, perfect for the role. i am just wondering how did he talk the way he talks in the movie? kinda sound like as though you need to roll in your tongue when you speak. tested in the car when talking to baby but didn't quite sound like it. oh well.

told grace that this kinda movie is good for the soul :) indeed it was, initially i was feeling quite depressed the entire day but i'm glad to have caught this movie. I LOVE ALL THE CUTESY ART WORK AT THE START OF THE MOVIE DURING THE CREW CREDITS ROLLED IN. kept squeling with excitement like a piglet to mr tay

i would LOVE to work in such a shop!
natalie's rainbow blouse underneath, niceee :)

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS

the tagline: All You Need is Love is a song by the Beatles :)

Taken from wiki:
Across The Universe is a 2007 musical film directed by Julie Taymor and written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. The script is based on an original story credited to Taymor, Clement and La Frenais that incorporates 34 compositions written by members of The Beatles.

There are cameo appearances by Bono as Dr. Robert (a counter-culture shaman), Eddie Izzard as Mr. Kite (a circus ringmaster), Joe Cocker as three street characters and Salma Hayek who appears (through digital special effects) as five nurses.

***

i'm excited about the 33 Beatles compositions featured in this film! all performed by artists such as Bono, Jim Sturgess, Dana Fuchs, Evan Rachel Wood and many more. Bono's gonna do "I Am the Walrus" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" :)

have to tell daddy about this. but then again, he has always insisted that NO ONE can do a good cover version of the Beatles' songs. but still!

cannot wait la! very kan cheong...

everyone has their own sets of worry and despair. i have mine too. i am able to usually brush them off during the day but come nightfall, Despair haunts and sticks to me like a plague. every.single.night.

i can't sleep. and i haven't been sleeping well for the past couple of weeks. my mind shifts from first gear to the fifth just as swiftly as i lay my head to rest on the pillow. to diagnose the problem is actually easy - i think too much. and as to What do i think about, i'll keep them in my closet for now.

about a week ago, i found a little something that could knock me off within minutes and i call it my Miracle Pill. purchased over the counters of Watson, Afidil manufactured by Ranbaxy was supposed to be the alternative to Clarinase, a flu/sinus pill. Miss Pharmacist cautioned that Afidil will cause drowsiness, and therefore is best not to be taken during working hours. a week ago, i took one and not only did my flu disappear, it knocked me off into slumberland within minutes.

and now, even as the flu virus has left my body, i still take one each night. religiously, 1 pill + water, 5 min before getting ready to bed. i know it's bad but it helps chase the demons away at night. this morning, the boyfriend found out i've been taking it every night has warned me to quit the habit. "you don't want to depend on a pill every night to sleep for the rest of your lives do you?"

no, i don't want to. but please, i need my sleep. i want to sleep. why can't i just sleep like how normal people do?! having said that, my problem of an overactive mind first needs to be rectified. my mind can travel so far and intense at night, that it has caused me much depression and of course, my precious beauty sleep. i highly suspect it has something to do with the daily '9-5.30pm mon to fri' routine. i am not a fan of a routined life. it is mundane and boring, it is slowly killing and eating me inside.

i don't know how to deal with it. last night was exceptionally bad. i was fighting hard to fall asleep without Afidil, when all of a sudden, the Suddenly Inspired Boyfriend stormed into the room chanting, "Must make more money! Must make more money!". i could've have him killed at that very moment but decided against the idea as he is still however, part of the very few reasons left that is keeping my sanity intact.

so, i woke up today feeling extra shitty and 100x grouchier than Oscar of Sesame St. and what's worse is knowing that you'll be going through the same cycle tonight, tomorrow night, and night after. week after week after week. understand that i am doing something about it. i'm mentally conjuring up a Plan B and is aggressively plotting my sweet escape. all i need is somemore time and fundings. and a warm hug to tell me that everything's gonna be alright. i never thought i'd still say this but i miss you.

"piggyback"

doing things like this, cheers me up in ways that you can never imagine. i perked up almost immediately the moment i set my mind, my fingers and most importantly, my heart to work. i learn to always draw from the heart and by doing that, my fingers move just as easy and in sync with what i have in mind. those who have me on Facebook would recognize this pig as Fat Luna, my ex-pet. "Ex" because I decided she was getting too depressing for me as she is NEVER smiling no matter how much i fed and pet her. so i got *stardust* instead, a happy jovial little dog.

Fat Luna

*stardust* 

see what i mean?

anyways, i have another blog going on. this new little bloggie is also helping me stay sane for the time being. check it out if you want:

i have always been a fan of Petronas' ads.
well, to be honest, I'm a fan of Yasmin Ahmad's works. 
me and mr tay rewatch this again and again and it has never failed to make us laugh.

yasmin is on the background posing the questions.
enjoy.

and this one made me teared. extremely heart-warming.

the last time i major decluttered*click*, i won a trip to club med bali and a sony bravia lcd tv  i haven't been that high eversince so, it's about time and i swear, declutter works, hehe. just that, there's been too much of negative chi surrounding me lately, but i am not going to talk about them.

my mom got back last night from her company trip to Langkawi. spoke to her on the phone and gawd she sounded like a little girl, all happy and chirpy. she bought:

me - a travelling bag
me - hershey's chocolates (like i'm not fat enough)
my dad - shirts i think
herself - ANOTHER DOM!  (david already bought 1 for her from bali airport recently)
my brother - the best gift evarrr - BIG BOTTLE OF CHIVAS for only RM68!
(somemore can tell me, "it's a 12 yr old bottle ok.")

see la, somemore always complain that my brother always come home after a night out with friends, with strong smell of alcohol, but STILL bought him a Chivas!

"aiya, mommy tot wanna buy for him for Christmas or for his birthday la."

i don't know what's worse, a mom who bans you completely from drinking OR a mom who complains that you drink but funds you Chivas for your birthday

i had the Most Exhaustive Dream Evarrr last night.

firstly, to clear things up, i do LOVE fairies, spells, magic, unicorns, witches, and just about anything magical. BUT for some reason, i could NEVER see vampires being in that list.

so last night, i was caught in a vampire-infested town (think Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil, except replace zombies with blood-thirsty vampires). me and a bunch of people were wielding swords against them vampires and trying to pierce them through their rotten hearts and all that running and dodging seriously traumatized me quite a bit. i hate being chased!!!  i woke up with my heart thumping so fast, i nearly thought the person sleeping next to me was a vampire as well.

i blame it all on the movie, From Dusk Till Dawn which we watched in club med recently. in the movie, their protection against the vampires were crosses and sunlight so, guess what was my protection in that wretched dream?

JALUR GEMILANG. i kid you not. i was busy handing out stupid jalur gemilang badges to my fellow comrades to wear them on their shirts. and i, had the most powerful protection of all - i had a jalur gemilang flag wrapped around me just like superman's cape *wow wee, clap clap hands*
so dumb!!!
of all things, a Jalur Gemilang flag *roll eyes*

oh whatever, at least i got to slay some vampires and gawd, it felt so real with my wobbling sword piercing right thru them ugly buggers' hearts. niceeee

sue asked me whether they were western, chinese or indian vampires. i burst out laughing, coz at that split moment, i had envisioned an indian vampire with a pottu, lunging towards me  mr tay said i am being too patriotic (yuck, never!). i blamed it all on the current Kempen BERSIH demonstration oops, 'gathering' as reported by the local media. go to youtube and look for Al-Jazeera's reports on this 'gathering' and you'll see how our local media has been downplaying the current uproar that has been going on.
