june 01 - birthday list re-visit
it's the 1st of june, and it's time to review my birthday list! wow.
1. watch kick-ass - ah... didn't. shucks.
2. clean out wardrobe (that pink shirt u dont like... bagi ler for charity... it's still in good condition but it looks weird on your body actually. just saying.) i did this! but did not give away anything yet. but some progress has been done weeding out the unnecessary.
3. buy glee ori soundtrack. i did! BEST MUSIC INVESTMENT EVER. i never knew people's voices could actually make me almost cry.
4. make the family a complete meal (app., main course, desert, drink) - i did!! i made bruschetta for appetizer, crusty lemon chicken, butter rice and baked broccoli and baby carrots for mains, and sparking ribena for drinks. at first i wanted to make some sort of topping to go with the ice-cream i bought; but my plan failed. i was trying to melt reese's peanut butter. heee. bad idea. (lemon crusty chicken from suburbanbliss.net, it was deliicious!!
5. buy the kitten book from gemma correll. got its!!
6. maybe have perfect discipline at night to sembahyang isya' before tidor. complete with dah mandi, basuh muka, gosok gigi, and baca quran.(whole of may, do this) um, fail.
7. do the arm exercises with the dumbells in your room for toned arms like jennifer aniston. for the whole of may. yep, no.
8. get thee to a dentist. i did. 4 tampals!
9. get thee to a complete medical check-up. not yet.
10. pegi broga. I DID! felt like dying but i did it! and could do it again. heee.
11. pakai make-up before pegi kerja? at least muka siap. for month of may. i tried but had no time. but on the other hand, i have been adding pieces of jewelery to my outfits everyday. stylish ladies on mighty closet always wear appropriate jewelery all the time.
12. compile NZ pictures and publish coffee table book. FAIL.
13. trim your facebook acquaintances. only keep the ones you are willing to say hi to and can at least make conversations with. i did some, but abandoned because i'm not even on facebook very much. don't care much, really.
14. finish 3 books - anansi boys, alphabet weekend (ni dah start tapi mcm boring, but habiskan!! cause it was a birthday present for someone that you chose yourself. takkan u pilih buku hampeh nar) and the third one i think it should be catcher in the rye because jd salinger died this year and you should read it at least once in your life. i did more than 3 books! but no catcher in the rye.
15. make your bedroom pretty. cupcakeandcashmere's glass knobs cantik for hanging necklaces! that's an idea. re-arranged things and it's looking much better. small score.
16. address my parents as ma'am and sir, as in yes ma'am, or no sir. mcm buang tebiat but i think it's hard to be rude this way. i did, but stopped because it made me sound like a filipino helper. heehee.
17. bring the cats for check-up or jabs. also buy new pet carrier. nope.
18. stop rubbing eyes. less, but still.
19. to re-read my diaryland entries from the beginning and copy-paste the ones i like(love mcm perasan gila pandai write) into a word document... just in case one day andrew decides to just scrape off the whole thing. i have not finished doing this.
not bad! i didn't do some at all but others i achieved which was more than what i expected (yeah didn't have lots of confidence with myself). the lesson in this is having a list HELPS you achieve things. i think it doesn't matter if the things on it are far-fetched. when it goes into the list a quarter of it is already done.
high-five.
