The One That Got Away

I missed us, baby.
But we're no longer each other's muse.

Summer after high school when we first met
We made out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on (Whoa)

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse

But in another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]
The one that got away

[Bridge:]
All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo)
Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one [x3]

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

Boyfriend

 

I just heard that my bestie, Ed, has just 'jadian' :-)

I'm truly happy for him. I hope that the lucky guy is truly kind and loves him, Ed deserves it.

Now it's my turn to bring this ship into the shore and throw away the oar forever (with whhhhoooooo???). Duhz, such lame analogy, excuse me my dear readers :D Where are thou, my Prince Charming?

Congratss cyynnnn! Wish you both all the best!

And remind me to bring your birthday gift from Dubai *cipika cipiki*

 

Shopping Spree in Dubai Summer Sale

This is all my loot for today...

No I didn't buy every single variant of Bodyshop body butter. I only bought peach, and papaya, and shea, and several others Bath and Bodyworks Shower gel (which one of them actually smells like Bailey's Irish Cream)! Haha... That's a lot!

The good thing is everything is discounted 40% because of Dubai Summer Sale.

Do you know that so many (branded) items are discounted up to 70% during this annual sale? Even Massimo Dutti went further by discounting their premium blazer collections up to USD 120. I missed that one, sigh!

So it's shopping spree, baby!

 

Twisted Cinderella Story

Sometimes,

I just wonder if Prince Charming is actually riding his white horse, just to seek for his Prince.

Forget Cinderella. She's too ordinary.

 

Tante Nora-K

Imagine this conversation...

"Halo Tante.. apa kabar?"

"Aaaaaaah, Chris... Baru aja Tante sama om Atung omongin kamu di mobil tadi." (It's funny how she is bold enough to admit that she and her husband talking about me behind my back. Amazing!)

"Tante dengar kamu sekarang kerja di Dubai yaa?"

"Ah, nggak juga Tante. Dengar dari mana?" (How did she even manage to her about that?!!)

"Kamu sudah punya pacar belum?"

"Belum Tante, masih cari2" (Iya, looking for boys, not girls. Ha!)

"Look no further! Ini ada anak Tante... Puput!!" (She fiercely calls her daughter and literally. Yes my dear readers, LITERALLY pushing her towards me).

"Puput, nanti sebelum pulang jangan lupa tanya nomor telepon koko. Jangan lupa ya!"

That scene really did happen in the wedding ceremony of the daughter of my mum's old acquaintance. Yesterday.

I was so happen to attend the wedding because I know the bride and her family so well. Had I knew I would meet this Tante Norak in this wedding, I would refuse to come...haha.

And you know what, right after I could free myself from that perfect embodiment of norakness, her husband "si Atung" jumped replacing her place interrogating me in even more norak-fashion than his wife (not to mention his fashion-missing choice of apparel).

He asked me how much I earn every month, where I work, all of the benefit I received from workplace, etc etc.

What is this??!! A collaboration plot to matchmake me and their daughter?? Measuring bibit-bobot-bebet of the son-in-law-to-be?

My mum and dad saw the whole charade, of course. And we all, know too well about the norak family's background. Know too well about the money-grubbing history of the whole family lineage.

I am sooooo not coming to wedding ceremony *shake head*

*planning to go look for eyecandies elsewhere* lol...
