We'll start with yesterday..
Woke up early and went out to the bazaar with Nut again.
New shops this time and I bought a shirt :) (I only wear shirts, apparently).
I'm still not fond of the bazaar people but... all in the name of research, huh.

Was still stuffy and hot so we left after awhile. Nut bought a clutch.
We found ourselves in 1Utama and Nut continued shopping. She got 6 random cheap gifts which I found really funny.. especially the 'toilette' sign.
Then we went home cause there was nothing else to do.
I came home and bummed around abit.. was about to follow my Mum out to pick my brother up when suddenly my cousins dropped by with my Grandma and I had no idea my Grandma was even out. The cousins were in town with my uncle and they took my Grandma out, probably for food, as they always do. The older cousin had a short crop that made me go "Heeeeey!! How are you??? *hugs and takes a good look* Your hair is short?". She cut her hair and donated it.. to some body that makes wigs for cancer patients. Nice nice.

After that, we picked my brother up came home and rushed to get ready for the Christmas party.
My family ditched me and wore white/silver! Thank God my brother wore a black/silver shirt. He matched me at least.
Anyway, it was a church thing so as usual, I spent the entire night rolling my eyes at comments and staring in horror at the disaster dresses some of the people had on.
The food wasn't too good either. And then the speaker came on and was yelling into the microphone. People need to realise that a microphone's MAIN purpose in life is to amplify voices.. there's no need to yell.
Complains : The food was bad. The food came too slow. The Aunty next to my Grandma thinks that I was eating a little off every plate because I was trying to keep slim.

Now, focus on the last line since I'll be harping on it for awhile. Try as I did, I couldn't hide my attitude from showing a little. My Grandma told her I eat alot, I told her I eat alot, my Mum told her I eat alot and she STILL insisted that I was trying to keep fit and that young people nowadays are like this. What in the name of Satan is wrong with her ears? Finally, I turned to her, face on and said "Look! I am eating a little from each plate so that I won't get full BY THE TIME THE THIRD DISH COMES ALONG!" and then looked at my Mum and rolled my eyes.

Seriously, sometimes I want to lobotomize these church people and see how their brain functions.
Then, while at the door, one of my Mum's church friends leans over to me and says "I thought the dress code was white/silver?" and stares at my black dress. I lift up my silver clutch and said "I wear black and gold. I don't wear white and silver. This is as silver as I'll get".
I was about to say "I don't conform to dress codes that I find ridiculous and pointless"
And it was battle of the grandkids last night.
The grandfathers were carrying their kids around and I swear they only do it to fish for compliments from the church people. They want you to say "Ooooh! So cute!!! How old?" and all that crap. I gotta admit, yes, the babies are cute but there's no need to fish for compliments. Don't they have better things to do at a dinner? For example, eat?

Today, had dinner with my cousins, uncle, grandaunts and an aunt.
Food was okay, company was okay so tonight was way better than last night (by more than a mile).
