Chit-chat on a gloomy Wednesday...


It's wednesday, the sky's gloomy and it's rainy outside.

And I feel like chatting. And it has been a while..... So chat I shall.

Am in my bimbonic phase lately. Got some makeup for my b'day and have been playing Michaelangelo (on my own face). Good thing is that the pallate is light, so no worries about looking like someone from Ms Drag Queen International 2009. Plus been accessorising too, when i can remember. Been rummaging thru my box of trinkets and realise that my earrings (those 3 for RM10 pairs) which i never wear, make pretty interesting pendants.... So with some pliers and a bit of imagination, i've given myself a host of new pendant thinggimajigs to wear! Like magic!
Oh! And I've joined a new gym. The one in centro Klang (which is next to the Hokkien Association). Been inactive at my old gym for around 5 months now... so that died a natural death.

From gymbing with Aunties who tell me about their children... usually about their graduation, or their weddings (that's how old them aunties are) to young properly attired gym freaks! Wow.... a bit of a culture shock.... and then the firm reality that you are in klang hits you when you're in the shower room.... whilst you have the latest tunes or mtv music piped in the workout area, everyone's focused, everyone's sweating and looking determined, enter the shower room and talk of bah kut teh, who's getting married to whom (were you invited?) conversations in Hokkien speak take centrestage. What a lovely contrast, and what an incredibly comforting one....
Note to self : the steam room and sauna room are there.... but i have never seen them in use.... granted I've only been there 3 times......

Oh! Haha and anor thing, Centro Klang, the one and only place where you can have a lovely oktoberfest evening with imported german beer, gourmet sausages, crispy bits of bacon and saurkraut and pork knuckles AND Cha-cham-bo!!!!!!! belted out by the band, and the lovely smells of bah kut teh wafting in from the bkt place in the building. Lovely combo, and ONLY in klang. Germany also kalah.
Am now debating if I should skive and leave for home early and have HELL UNLEASHED on me tomorrow and Friday, when the deadlines come steamrolling on my head, or continue to sit here, sip my green tea, and stare out the rain splockled window.....
Hmmmm decisions, decisions....
