you belong with me

A few days ago, was at one of my regular mall hangouts with my sister and we stumbled upon a rummage sale. And for one brief moment, I had chills and goosebumps all over me. The word sale seems to have that effect on me. Worst if it's combined with rummage or warehouse. I literally have to calm myself down.

I love the adrenaline rush of it all. Choosing and digging and clawing your way through all the best bits and then arguing for that last piece of prize with some other 'sale struck fool'. Then lining up at the cashier who always seem to take forever regardless which line I'm in.

Anyway, after spending a small fortune at this particular rummage sale, we stumbled upon another on another floor. And we were like WOW. Spent another small fortune there. We ended buying so much things that we had to go back to the car to place all our well-spent money before finally doing what we came there to do in the first place - watch 2012. Which I really thought was a good movie. Sure, there were alot of cheesiness and wooden acting and damn predictable plots but I truly enjoyed it. I always loved disaster movies and this is like the motherload of all disaster movies. Seriously.

The rain nowadays here in KL have been a real damper on my mood and has put alot of social activities on hold. But I'm cool with it. Cos it has seriously cooled things down. It used to be damn hot during the days before the rain and now it's so much cooler and nicer. Just that going out in the evenings is always a hassle now.

My best friend Honeystar recently uploaded this old photo of us taken a few years ago in Perhentian Island and it brought back such sweet memories of summer sun and golden beaches and hot boys ;) Can't wait for summer 2010!

I got stopped by a policeman a few days back because I expertly ran thru what was obviously a red light for me. I don't even know why I did it. I guess I just wasn't in the mood to sit around and wait while the light turned green when there were no other cars on that crossroad except me. Unfortunately, MrPoliceman did not seem to think I was being amusing and proceeded to lecture me and at the same time was about to start writing me a ticket.

I did what I normally did in times like this. I turned on the charm and I laid it on thick. I smiled, I winked, I touched his arm, I played the innocent card, I played the guilty card, I played every card I knew but the MrPoliceman was not being receptive to any of my charms which made me even more determined. I've charmed my way out of tickets so many times, it's almost impossible to count so there was no way I was gonna get a ticket this time just because this moron's skull was too thick.

Then it hit me. The reason why MrPoliceman was not being receptive was because he was adamant for a bribe! In fact, at first he kept hinting about it but after awhile he was being downright direct. Saying things like, 'Why don't you buy me coffee? Or why don't you pay for my dinner?'. And believe me, that was not an invitation for me to date him or anything like that. It was a blatant way of asking for a bribe. I was mortified. I don't do bribes. So I told him, 'You know what? Just give me the ticket. I'll pay the fine'. He was quite surprise by this and kept asking me if I was sure and if I could afford the large sum cos all it would take is a few ringgit to make it go away. This really pissed me and I repeated again to please just give me the ticket.

After much huffing and puffing and Lord know what else he was doing, I finally got the ticket. I rolled up my window and drove away. Paid the fine the next day and with this post I am putting that entire event behind me. Way too much corruption and moronic fools in our lives these days. Why give in to them?
