this 'decision' is a result of:
way to go angie low *click*
mommy to the rescue

mr tay didn't pick up the phone. so i texted him instead.

"bi! i think we need to buy tents!"

and proceeded to google.com for this. don't laugh!!!

come on la, i'm desperate can't you see tell already!
2 options:

1. camp on Bamboo Island:

   we've been there before. our phuket and phi phi trip! so no go for this.
   
2. camp on Koh Lao Liang:
   http://krabitours.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=109 
   though i must admit, this one does seem quite ok. lots of kayaking and SNORKELING!

ok. so from nice romantic hotel in krabi to budget hotels to backpackers' inn to

... camping by the beach.

p/s: i've blogged so many times today because can't you tell that i am feeling extremely agitated today?!

proof of severe agitation while talking to esther on the phone

well, not quite yet.

mom sent me an email informing me that a travel agency will contact me shortly regarding my accommodation problem in krabi.

esther from the agency called and she said will check out the hotels for me. any preferance? she asked. preferably around Aonang area, i replied. she said she'll check to see what she can do. but before that, she has one hotel that has confirmed rooms for us.

my heart did a full 360-degree roller-coaster turn.

Sofitel Hotel, she said. my heart sank a bit because i do know Sofitel ain't cheap but i checked out their rates on the website anyway.

in Ringgit ya, not Baht

now, esther. i do not print money ya. neither does mr tay. so this has to pass.

***

uh-oh, just got off the phone with esther. she panically reported back to me that ALL the hotels in Aonang are FULLY booked. and all the other hotels in the other areas would require a minimum stay of SE7EN nights

and now i panically want to die. i suddenly realize it's SOS time. it's an EMERGENCY! what if the budget inns are fully booked as well??? i mean, there has to be some small backpackers' inn that we can check into? right?? right???! omgggg, i'm calling baby now!

and i can almost imagine him say, "Why don't we set up tents and camp by the beach?" all because i suggested this the last time we were strolling by the beach at bali. something about being adventurous(???) and thrifty(??!)

i have a strong feeling that we need to be buying tents soon.

it is precisely 1.37am now. not quite sure why, but i'm still very much wide awake. and mr tay is watching Saving Private Ryan for the 1 millionth time.

anyways, am totally engrossed with this version of Lifehouse - Take Me Away. i love jason wade's voice.

this time... all I want is you
there is no one else
who can take your place
this time you burn me with your eyes
you see past all the lies
you take it all away
I've seen it all
and it's never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away
take me away
I've got nothing left to say
just take me away

i finished decorating our Christmas Tree!

this will be the 3rd year this fiber optic baby shines for us :)

the background movie playing was The Green Mile. i cried when John Coffey had to be electrocuted :(

*click to see the short clip i've recorded and oh, my pathetic voice*

hello,

i haven't had this much Me-Time by myself since... i can't remember! so, after seeing mr tay off to PC Fair, rejecting melissa's offer to go shopping and can't possibly sleep anymore after 9am - i got up.

and Mood For The Day - Productive


i have:


1. managed to watch 2 love comedies over at HBO

• Failure to Launch - starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughtey (i can never get the spelling right)

• The Perfect Catch - starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon (ok, i googled this one up. look, i've never watched him in any movies ok)

and why is watching tv productive, you ask? coz i haven't watched any love comedies much eversince having the boyfriend around. although he does watch it with me occasionally after i expertly throw some drama queen act. i.e. black face, sour face and long face. anyways, those two were pretty good movies i'd say. i am thoroughly entertained, which is by the way, vital for this whole me-time thing.

2. ooo this is a major MAJOR battle conquered. i have successfully, single-handedly and patiently spring-cleaned my entire wardrobe which took me close to 2 hours! got rid of unwanted clothes and they were 2 bags of it.


3. and oh, this gets better. NOT ONLY have i cleaned up my wardrobe, i've ta-da... cleaned the boyfriend's as well. you wouldn't imagine how much dust i had to breath in to have his all-white wardrobe radiates its current sparkling aura now. i then brilliantly sprizzed some of my lovely gardenia perfume all over his wardrobe and now it smells heavenly judging from how agreeable he is to this perfume, (i.e sniffs me like a dog all the time) my only hope is that this agreement also applies to his clothes. if not, i'm dead by the time he comes home.


4. i've saved the best for last. well, not really the last but while cleaning his wardrobe, a light bulb idea suddenly lit up and it was a blinding bright one, mind you. not only had i cleaned up his wardrobe, i have also created somemore space for my clothes! yes! in his wardrobe! the compartment below! am i brilliant or what?! hahahahaha. shaddup, i am.

coz there he was last week, painting me this marrrrrrvellous idea of having his built-in wardrobe expanded so that there will be more storage for my clothes, which by the way *yawn* will not happen in another 10 years time, judging from how well i know him. so i tell you, all is not lost coz hey, honey... i've magically created space in your wardrobe for myself! now, he has got to praise me for helping him save some money. although, the Expanded Wardrobe idea still is very much welcomed, ya ya???


5. cleaned the loo but that's boring stuff unless you want to know how i scrub my tiles which according to david, i'm a weirdo. replaced the bathmat as well.


6. almost finishing Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella.

Me time = Bimbo time

so Sophie Kinsella is always the answer :D or Marian Keyes, if you ran out of Sophie. anyways, this book cracks me up almost every 5 minutes. brilliant stuff.

ok, so Emma the nervous airplane passenger was blurting out secrets to a stranger.

"...determined to find my G spot so we spent the whole weekend doing it in different positions, and by the end I was just knackered. All I wanted was a pizza and Friends..."

"... he kept saying, What was it like, what was it like? So, I made some stuff up, I said it was absolutely amazing, and it felt like as though my whole body were opening up like a flower, and he said what sort of flower, so I said a begonia..."

at the cue of begonia, i fell off the couch and hit my head on the coffee table from laughing too hard.

a begonia

donated RM149 to the gym for the month of Nov. in other words, i did not exercise for 1 whole month.

so yesterday, i painfully ignored mr tay's request to go home earlier. instead, forced myself and made an appointment with Jeff for a 6.30pm session. had the initial fear that he was gonna go max out on me with the extra weights, extra repetitions, extra sets, extra time in cardio but hah... it was actually quite alright. (gawd, i hope he doesn't read this, else i'm dead on Thurs)

except, i've lost all my stamina. after all the weight-training mumbo jumbo, jeff put me on a 8 min run with sprints and jog interval in between and it felt quite like i was the hippo being forced to flee from hunters. at some point, it felt as though my lungs were gonna explode and at the 5th minute mark while sprinting, i actually pictured my legs giving way, body twisted and face, falling flat on the treadmill. i do think a lot of crap whenever i run and it's best not to interrupt me by talking to me coz once, mr tay called me a number of times and sensing some urgency in that call, i just had to answer it. ooomph-ing and urghhh-ing while running at speed 11.5, i swear he must've thought i was being kidnapped and tortured. on other occasions, crappy thoughts usually revolve around having maniacal thoughts of Petty Man, what to wear for the next wedding, what has been consumed for breakfast and lunch, and gawd, i hope no one is focusing on my bum bouncing up and down.

and then today, after lunch, i happily reward myself (as though i've ran a 40K marathon) by walking hand-in-hand with Sue to the New Zealand Natural outlet and we both came out with a Green Tea and Fruits of the Forest ice cream each :)

my whole body and legs are aching like a bitch from yesterday's session, so this reward was well-justified. yes, you, you and YOU had better agree with me. period. hmmph.

p/s: for someone who doesn't like green tea stuff on ice cream or cakes, the Green Tea flavor at New Zealand Natural is heaven. i want to extend my thanks and gratefulness to Adam Lian for this WONDERFUL discovery.
