You Picked Me

I am not known for being the friendliest person on Earth and in fact I have been pegged as a somewhat reserved person. Or aloof and perhaps even hostile. I'm not sure.

Anyway, a few days ago I decided to contact my best friend from primary school. It's common knowledge that if you stop communicating after about 7 years, you can forget about reconnecting or whatever. I took a chance and sent her a Facebook message.

My pointer hovered over the "send" button and in the end I told myself Oh screw it. If she doesn't want to reply, then I can't do anything right?

I hit send and went to bed. The next morning there was a reply and from there we exchanged phone numbers and soon we were making plans to have lunch. Because we're both very honest (perhaps also suffering from verbal diarrhea), she said she's afraid we would just sit in awkward silence and I told her I felt the same way too (wow, I never realised how gay that sounded).

We went out today and well, some things never change I guess. She still love eating ice and I still take very long to finish my food (:

Captivated in Her Palm

Today marks a day in history. One where I blogged for a second consecutive day and the other because today, on the 25th of January 2012, I, Abigail, watched a Chinese movie in the cinema. It was not only very Chinese, it was a local Cantonese movie. If you're wondering if I was either drugged or under the influence of alcohol-neither. It was a conscious decision. Well, sort of.

"Abby, wake up. Wanna watch Ah Beng the Movie?" my dad suggested while nudging me to get out of bed.

I groaned and felt around the bed for my phone to look at the time- 9.15am

I croaked, "Watch what?"

"Ah Beng the Movie. I checked the time and we could catch the 11.50am show if you get ready now."

Soon we were off to TGV and that's when I noticed the poster.

Ah Beng the Movie: Three Wishes and at the corner Cant. short for Cantonese.

"Dad?" I called out. "You realise it's a Cantonese movie, right?"

"Don't worry. I'm sure there will be subtitles." he assured me while excitedly standing in line for tickets.

And he was right- there were subtitles.

Just Close Your Eyes

In a small amount of time, i have gone from raping the replay button for 'Safe and Sound' by Taylor Swift to a slightly more upbeat tune like Karmin's 'Crash Your Party' and a dash of Panic! Oh well, maybe I have a personality disorder I don't know about yet *winks*

My dad and I spent the second day of Chinese New Year pretending to be looking for furniture in Harvey Norman.

What do you think of this colour?
I prefer this one.
*Tries on every Lazyboy chair and watch salespeople fall over themselves trying to make a sales pitch*

While walking out of Harvey Norman, dad said his feet kinda hurt a little.

Let's go to Osim for free massage!

Yeah, we went into Osim only to use their massage chair and came out about half an hour later feeling refreshed. Don't give me that shocked look! I know you do it too!

Anywho, I recently reconnected with an old friend. Perhaps because we're notoriously honest people, I told her that I'm sorry for sounding really stalker-ish after 2 texts by asking if she's available to go out for coffee or something this week and she replied by saying since we have not spoken for 7 years it would be really awkward because we probably have nothing in common anymore.

I totally agree with her but we're determined to meet up and hopefully it wouldn't turn out as awkward as we both feel it might. So fingers-crossed (:

Now excuse me while I attempt to do some college-related homework.
