Oxymoron of 2009

Mamak-ing while sitting under an umbrella waiting for the rain to stop isn't the perfect setting that I'd like to chill with my friends. Not just any rain but those huge downpours sort of rain. It's noisy, cold and annoying. I get annoyed getting wet by rain. I love rain when I'm dry and away from the rain.

But prior to the mistimed horrendous torrential downpour something peculiar came up. Islamic Beer. Yes you read it right, Islamic Beer. Oxymoron of 2009. Islamic (alcohol is "haram") and beer (full of alcohol). So what exactly is Islamic Beer? It's just a malt drink with gas and fruity flavors. It's equivalent of fruity bubbly. The lady said it's 99.9 % alcohol free.

Seriously... The things people come up with...

Just as I thought that would be enough of an oxymoron dose for one night, this popped up. My dear friend (also known as "Muka Ketat" and flashed victim) loves pork even though it's "haram" for him to do so. But he found a way round it this tricky situation. Say "Bismillah" before eating and also say a prayer before slaughtering the pig. Then you'll have "Halal Pork"!

Wouldn't life be boring without these lovely oxymoron to keep us entertained?

You know you love me.

When A Queer Shops...

What's my new year's resolution? I've got none. I don't do resolutions cause I feel it doesn't do anything for me. I'd rather take the new year a day at a time and embrace every moments of it. Cliche as it sounds but carpe diem fits this description well.

So to start off the new year, I ceased the day by going shopping in KLCC and Pavilion. I am amazed at my shopping because I was literally, "Oh nice... Take. That too. Take". Well I did have a rough idea of the things I wanted to get and I did get them. Except for a few sudden splurges here and there.

How am I suppose to bring these stuff back?!

My favourite buy was Dilbert 2.0 20 Years of Dilbert hardbound box edition from Kinokuniya (I believe a reader spotted me there lugging this 10kg book). Good bargain too cause I got it at 30% discount! RM 370 - 30% = RM 259!!! That was the first item that started my shopping spree.

Then came the working clothes. I love the dark grey checkered trousers (why do people here call it pants?) and two new cardigans. That should keep me warm and stylish in the office for a bit. However, I didn't manage to find many working shirts that I like. So I only settled with one. Got a three ties to mix and match with my current shirts in my wardrobe.

For casual/clubbing wear I got two shirts, a pair of jeans and a pair of shoes. I just realised the shirts aren't in the photo... Probably in the washing or somewhere in the house. One red with black fine line from Topman and white short sleeved shirt from Zara.

Finally I've gotten something heavy duty to combat the harsh weather and working condition, Biotherm! Basic cleanse, tone and moisturise and an added sunblock. SPF 50. That should keep the UV rays away.

So what's the damage? Approximately RM 2000. Well it's a price to pay for the satisfaction of shopping. I totally enjoyed my shopping workout. It's a complete workout with weights involved and lots and lots of cardio. Why gym when you can shop? Hehhehe.

You know you love me.
