flawed work of art.

I finally sent out my visa application today via courier. I put it as urgent so the lady said it'll reach by tomorrow. wow. and it didn't even cost that much as the last time I used fedex & got ripped off. no matter how good their tv ads are, I'm still anti-fedex. nyeh.
my mom woke me up this morning to get me ready to go to the bank to get my bank drafts. went all the way downtown to hsbc, where I met my parents' personal banker. she's really famous around the building, thus causing her to be extremely busy. as uncle robert & her were talking about their old kampung, (hey! they're from the same one!) they came to realise something extremely weird.... in uncle robert's original birth cert, aunty nancy's (the personal banker) granddad was stated as his father! apparently, her granddad was really famous around the kampung & was the one who brought uncle rob to get his birth cert done as his dad was away in China. and back in the old days, the birth registration system was whacked, so that's how the mistake happened. that was just plain weird...
after the visit to the bank, we went back to the office where we made photocopies of all the important stuff & walked to the courier place nearby. boy, no wonder at 71, uncle rob's still so healthy. he walks darn fast for an old guy. I had trouble catching up with him! I was panting about that to my mom when we got back.. my mom's reply included something about me being spoilt. ahh, should've known. I think she said that word more than 3 times the whole day, especially as we were doing lunch together. her idea, not mine. I still had nightmares about the whole cookie summit thing with fang. *shivers* so much so that I didn't eat anything after our unsuccessful attempt to conquer the summit until last night's dinner. and I didn't even feel hungry. shawn thinks I'm whacked. I think I'm anorexic.
after lunch, mum went bra-shopping. I just stood awkwardly staring at her choices. I mean, no one looks at your underwear, so why fork out hundreds to pay for some gawdy-looking flowerish types? mum said that she can see it for herself. *smacks hand on forehead* okayy.... mum paid for the present I got for my mama. she offered to. ho-hum. a neat-looking handbag, by the way.
while we were at the atrium, I caught the eye of the perfume girl who fang & I met 2 days ago. she was so funny... when we asked if we could try that scent, (I think it was gucci..) she accidentally sprayed on herself instead cos' the nozzle was the other way round. all 3 of us ended up bawling. haha. she was really nice, intro-ed us to various scents. my favourite? true star. beyonce has taste. you go, girlfriend!

There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one
rod stewart's have I told you lately.
personally, I like the oliver james version in What A Girl Wants better..
