Hippy Birthday
Monday, July 03, 2006
My birthday is coming up next week. Well one week exactly on the 9th. Well I'm a besharam and announce my birthday in advance , because every year i know what to expect haha. STill, my family insists on a surprise birthday every year and I play along with it faking my surprise. * suddenly at a swanky cool restuarant Ooooh surprise happy bday* *Suddenly frenz at your door oooh surprise happy bday**Midnight 12 am every1s pretending to be deep in sleep, suddenly Ooooh surprise Happy Birthday* *mum baking a cake behind closed kitched doors or my family secretly whsipering and working inside the drawing room OOhhhh its ur birthdayyy surprise**my dad slipping in a few shopping bags tell me its grocery(lolz wateva) OOh surprise happy birthday* everytime i think i wont get surprised even in the routine celebration my family ALWAYS manages to surprise me in some way. happy crazy dyfunctional family I love youzz.
I did get surprised dis time as well however. My bday comes to me yesterday and tells me with all the serious terse face expression that this year theres a problem with celebrating my bday and hes afraid he wont be able to join me, because of more urgent issues he needs to attend to i.e. the world cup final. Since its clashing with my bday and hes routing for France, he wont be able to make it since his team needs his support (gawd my brother has da same drama baaz qualities of mine). Khair so he gave me an ice cream and the besssssst a HOOPS AND YOYO Key chain in advance to make up for all the celebration and fullfill his duty. Awwww its the most perfect gift cos it hits bang right onspot. Something that is Hoops and Yoyo and I can carry it everywhere. Now how did he figure that one out?
Anyway this time this week is going to my Gilmore Girls style bithday week.Yes one week of activities planned upto the day of my bday. which means my mum sis and i will be goin to da salon to treat ourselves, daily sauna jacuzzi aroma therapy sessions, I want to go fish at the creek or marina with my dad, go to nad al sheba and spend the day with camels and horses, go trekking and rock climbing, shopping, visit and art gallery wit my sis, hopefully jamming jar where we can paint freely, then spend a good day doing my room (yes i like to do interior decoration and feng shui for fun), go with a friend and get a fake tan, collect shells and crabs with my brother at the beach.
Oh and every year I give my brthday gifts list to my family in adavance haha. I jus tell them to leave that one aspect out of the surprise area and give me something i already. Needless to say every year they go like what ever as if they,re going to get me the stuff but then Bang! *Suprrise its yourrr Birthdayyyy and Suuuurrprise the faaavourite gift you always wanted. So the list is as follows.
1. sand and sand sports polished wood skateboard (with a helmet)
2. Aroma therapy set
3. Fake copper coco cabana tan by dior
4. hoops and yoyo stuff pillow hug
5. zidane official real madrid shirt

My First Salary
Anyway peeps today is official the lastday of my internship. Another chapter comes to an end in the my dramay baaz life. Khair.Contrary to what i said earlier about not knowing how to spend the next 2 mths, i have plenty to keep me busy and why not. After i pick up my cheque today, there are a million ideas already in my head about what to do out of it.
Yes its my first salary.Awwww. Another milestone baby!!!
The bimbo, ditzy headed materialist me wants to go instantly first get a laptop tattoo, swanky cell phone cover, further feed my Hoops and Yoyo obsesseion,Coco Cabana fake tan by Dior (they are the most amaaazing fake tans, totally J Lo stuff), sum style from Paris Gallery, Lifestyle and Dorothy Perkins(yes those vintage beands my mum wont let me buy) and more other stuff if theres any more cash left.
Khair. Sigh. If my dad knew what I had in mind for this cheque, AS IF hed drive me to the bank to cash in this cheque. Not having a license if probably the one thing that makes me so dependent and listen to them.
The conscience and the struggling sensibility and goodness in me tells me to invest part of me wisely, and safe it , you never know when you might need it.
The Angelina Jolie in me says its "stupid income" spend on lip collagen for enhanced pouty lips, Chanel shades to look superhot and then snag sum1else boyfriend to keep you busy during summer, give the rest to malnourished African kids.
I think with my salary, ill go and buy my brother icecream and pamper my mother with stuff from Paris Gallery.My sister doesnt anythin she always uses my stuff and my dad will anyway look at my cheque and call it a joke.

Still...one can't help feel but gloat and glee over their miserable loss to France (out of all the disgraceful teams out there). The little consolation that remains on this Sunday morning is the realisation that Brazil has crashed out of world cup. For all those who support Brazil how very unoriginal can you be????
Bunch of aging obese oafs, that they were.
We owe the Brazillians for making the worldcup fairly monotoned, routine predictable painfully boring affair, with their usual junglee agressively fouling style of play. It spares most of us the eyesore of having to see them win another cup. Seriously when was the last time they felt what it was like to lose. Pictures of a tearful Ronaldinho cause no sympathy.
Dammit they had more than there share of the cup.

This was the worst weekend in a very long time......besides the fact it was already emotionally charged frankly largely a drama affair.....Maybe God decided to have a laugh or somebody hexed dis weekend but eveeeerrrythin went wrong for everyone ...well almost everyone. Agassi lost to Nadal. Argentina lost to Germany (what the???) England lost to Portugal (WHAT THE???????). This has been the worst World Cup everrr by not im even convinced that if accusations that the World Cup are still too far fetched , there DEFINETLY is an element of bias in the matches (rem Itaky vs Aussie, Germany vs Argentina) and some of the most outrageous unbelievable biased pathetic stupid illiterate buffoonish moronic idiotic refereering we've been entertained with thus so far. For those of you who feel that the above can be more creatively described, leave your potty adjectives inthe shoutbox, my new fridgemagnets or the comment box.
With backup Argentina crashing out as well, is there anythin left in the World Cup to watch at all?

Drapped in English flag, painted faces,chanting to "We Are The Champions" dancing like a moron with family friends strangers and the rest of English fans at the Convention Gate, with falling confetti and watching the English team lift the cup! Birthday Princess was suppose to have the luckiest birthday when England would have won its first cup in 40 years.....
so much for a happy birthday....
