Breaking up with 2009

And I am glad its over. 2009 wasn't the best time of my life. I wasn't in my best form for most part of the year. Made one life-changing decision and lived through the consequences. Finally had some time to myself and then maybe too much. New experiences which money can never buy and conversely no money to buy experiences I would have liked. Excitement at receiving the keys to my own pad but shudder at the prospect of getting married. Right down to the last few days of 2009, it was hiccups galore. Received a fine on the 30th, missed the plane on the 31st. Yeah, we did it again. We were supposed to take the plane up to KL on the 31st morning. It was a 620am flight (Now we know, NEVER book morning flights) either way we decided against our better judgement to take a nap. But oh god forbid, the iPhone alarm failed us. Actually he didn't set it, still not used to the new phone I guess. We got a rude shock when we woke at 530am. Of all the people to call, Ed chose to call the brother. Needless to mention, he didn't hear the phone. Desperate Ed called again but at 520 and that was when the brother rushed into our room to wake us. We flew out of the house but alas we were too late and the plane left without us. As we sat in the car, slowly taking in our predicament, he contemplated driving in. To which i protested vehemently! Hell No! I would never take that risk, not with my baby. The car was way too conspicuous and what's worse with a Singapore Plate, we would be like a flashing neon signboard waiting for trouble to happen. In the end, we decided to hitch a coach up and so we headed for Golden Mile. Along the way we spotted one rather posh coach and stopped to ask. Well we winded up with a lesser one cos the luxurious coach was full. However the ride was good, for $40 bucks we had a huge leather chair with massaging controls and they even served us food(Pastamania) and drinks along the way. There was even TV to watch, albeit boring flicks. The coach was old but I wasn't about to complain. I had a rough morning, stemming from the lack of sleep, I threw up 2 times and I just needed to crash. The traffic was smooth and there was no jam. The ride took approximately 5hrs. I woke up intermittently, like when he shook me, concerned that there was food and we weren't getting any. Like hell I cared!!!

Its 2pm and we are finally in KL!! Refreshed from the rest we got on the coach, we braved the hot sun and began the hike to our hotel, unwilling to be fleeced by the KL cabbies. And he, equipped with the GPS app on his iPhone declared that the distance was walkable. Yeah technically, everywhere is walkable my dear, just how far only right? But I had to admit, the distance was doable, it was just the sun that I had something against. We met up, dumped our bags and headed out for shopping, what else. We split from the guys so we could concentrate on our shopping. In the first mall, I managed to snag a few pairs of shoes from vincci and we even did a very singaporean auntie thing. Vincci was having 20% sale for members, so...we approached the lady ahead of us in the queue and borrowed her card. Muahahaha I love it when I get a good deal. We were late in meeting up with the boys (as usual), we continued some more shopping at Times Square. I bought more clothes...and boy were they cheap!

We split from the rest of the gang, cos' in my haste to get out of the house, I did not pack any long pants for him. And we were going to party after dinner. So I took him shopping. Boys have it easy, we bought a snazzy pair of pants for him in the very first shop we went into.

Pants? Check! Dress? Check! It was time to head back to the hotel to doll ourselves up for the partying at night. I was running on reserve energy by then. Having not had anything since morning. At that time, my dear boy whipped out his iPhone again and started checking the map. EVEN I knew how to get back to the hotel without the blasted application. ARRggghhh!! I gave him hell. When we finally got back, he kept rushing me and I was done even before the rest were....Fumed~ 830pm and we were all ready to leave for the highlight of the trip: the pork ribs. Actually the sole purpose for the trip, hahaha. The ribs were good but somehow not as good as the other time. After a satisfying meal, we started back to the hotel to offload the doggy bag. It was 11:50 when we finally got to KLCC. There was a massive jam cos everyone was waiting for the fireworks. So we decided to get off and wait as well. The crowds of people was staggering. 12:00 am sharp and the fireworks started and we were on the wrong side!!! Ugh last year we had to watch it off reflections on the buildings and this year we improved...slightly, we watched them between the 2 towers of KLCC.

Helloo 2010!!

So 2010 arrived while we were on the streets in KL. A refreshing change from all the hotel rooms. After the fireworks were over and the crowds started dispersing, we made our way to a club and so did a million other people. The place was overflowing with people. KL is probably 10 times too overpopulated. Ugh~

The last time I partied was something like 2004! And so needless to say, after a few hours of being treaded on, elbowed and pushed, we called it a night. Man were we bushed, I had to force him to shower. By the time I was done, he was snoring. I blew dry my hair, packed the bags and concussed myself.

1/1/10 was more shopping and I truly spent every single last dollar we had. OOPs~ When we got to the airport, the souvenir shop was closing. We rushed in and happily picked out our stuff. Only to realise to our horror that they had done their credit card closing and being lazy buggers that they are, they refused to switch the blasted machine back on. I had to forgo almost all my stuff. We had to wait for another half hour cos' of the rainy weather, our plane was delayed. It was way past midnight by the time I landed. I was dead tired.

That was the end of my 2009 and Yes!! I am glad 2009 is finally over. Let's start 2010 with a bang! So I said and my parents gladly complied....

I am not upset that they damaged my baby but rather I am cheesed that they didn't call me when it happened. What were they thinking? We would have been able to advise them on what to do and not do. Instead they attempted to resolve it themselves which needless to say, they messed up. I wonder had they thought we would have scolded them?I admit I do not have the best temper in the world but I am reasonable and they matter much more. Either way, its done and past. Its 2010 and I can only hope...this year will be better.
