Note: Long post ahead.
Holla!
I'm happy and a bit pissed. Happy coz I got to shop and got myself a new tailored shirt from RL. BUT. It is not white. Coz it is not opaque. Loong says it's better to get the striped ones. So I chose green! He bought himself a pair of sneakers from there too.
OK! No more spending! Actually..I need a new dress for next Sun. Well, I already have a new top but still thinking if I shud get a dress instead. We'll see if I can get a dress this week. If not, then I guess I'll go with the top.
On Sat, we had the most horrible weather EVER. It was pouring like nobody's business! Tried to find a parking spot in Bondi's Westfield. Trust me when I say we circled the entire parking ground for 1/2 hour and then when we FINALLY found one, a bitch stole it right in front of our eyes wtf.
Loong already signalled but still she took the space. Mahai. In the end, we siam-ed la.
Was driving around and then I saw buses taking people to the Randwick Racing Course. There was a horse race going on. We have nothign to do also so off we go to the races.
These races are usually social activities for the affluent but normal people like us join too. I was wearing a tank top with jeans while Loong was in his khaki pants and shirt. While others were in suits and pretty dresses like the pic below:

Women were dressed to the nines and men smart in their suits. Although not everyone is well-behaved and courteous if you know what I mean.
We have to pay $35 each to get in the race course. It was packed!
Because it was raining outside so people were all crammed in the betting area. The both of us just went around looking at the screens for a bit and he explained to me what is it about and etc.
After the 5th race, we placed a bet. Looking at the odds, I picked 2 horses. $10 to place, $5 to win on Viking Legend and $5 to place on Gathering.
When you put a certain amount of money to place on a horse, it means as long as the horse comes in 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, u'll win money.
He bet on Bandar and Lovemelikearock. It was supposed to be Southern Skye but we got the number of the horse wrong so which is why we ended up with Lovemelikearock. Whatever. Both horses didn't win anyways HAHAH.
GUESS WHAT?? Both my horses came in 2nd and 3rd place! So I won some money!!! I spent $20 buying the ticket and won $45. So it's alright. Technically, I still lost considering the $35 entrance fee.
Damn kan-cheong ok to see them race!! The position of the horses always changes last minute one. To sit in the course and yell out your horses' numbers is quite fun too.
The racecourse. As you can see, the weather is hori-ji-ble.

We parked our car in the middle of the race course and walked underground to get to the stands.
Big ass screens for half blind people to see how their horses are doing.

We left after 2 hours. Went to Eastgardens to shop a bit and then decided to cook some seafood tomato soup based noodle for dinner. Bought fresh seafood and it's time to work in the kitchen!!
He is head chef and I am sous chef aka garlic dicer wtf. He knows I hate to touch garlic and he has to give me that task while he cleans the prawns. On second thought, dicing garlic doesn't look that bad.
Cut up bak choy and sliced the fish fillets. He did the squid, scallops and prawns.
Then I found out he has like NO tomato sauce left at home wtf! How to make tomato soup base w/o tomato sauce you tell me!
Luckily we bought a pack of soup base for seafood hotpot and dinner is saved again. Invited Nick and Mizah and Wei Xin too to join us for dinner.
Nick told us that Nena is trying to set Loong up with Suu! OHHHHHHHHH! Nick was like 'Oh Nena...No way, Loong is taken'. *pats Nick's back wtf*
Our seafood noodle is damn nice ok. Downed with Moscato wine which I took 2 sips coz I can't stand wine.
After dinner, Wei Xin and I gossiped in Mandarin at the dining table while the 3 of them watched TV. I know it is very rude but I haven't chat with WX for a long time already and it's weird to speak English with him.
The guests left at like 8.30pm.
I also had the best sleep last night coz I woke up at 6am yesterday and by 10pm, the both of us are exhausted.
Only woke up at 11.30am. Supposed to be 10.30am one!! But we lost one hour due to daylight savings. Haih.
Loong woke up 1/2 hour before me and he couldn't find me because I was beneath the covers HAHAHAHAHAH. That is how I like to sleep. With the blankie over my head. He brushed his teeth and went out to the living room and found no one. He thought I left already. Sohai.

Guys, I might be going to Melbourne in Nov. Loong and Andres are going there to watch Tiger Woods while I'm tagging along just because. But I need someone to go with me otherwise I'm not going. But who?
Which one of my friends knows Loong and Andres? None.
Go with Nena ah! Andres will be very sad boooo....Nick was saying 'why not ask Nena and Suu to join?' and Loong was like 'Lesley will NEVER say yes to that' HAHAHHA! *pats his back too*
I am very excited coz I get to use my Westin privilege discount then we can stay in Westin or Sheraton for a very low price. When I told Loong, he was like 'At least you're thinking of staying in nice hotels. That Andres ah! He was saying we can just set up a tent besides the golf course and sleep there. Damn cheap eh!'.
Andres is the cheapest Colombian EVER.
We'll see. I'm sure the hotels are fully booked by now. Thousands of people will be in Melbourne to watch Tiger Woods too. I have a feeling maybe I won't be going hahah.
Who wants to go with me??

I don't think I have ever told anyone but back in primary 6, I sorta had a fling with this kid Charles Shim from St Johns in our tuition class. Aiya....KIDS ma!
Anyways, Loong was showing me his MSN page and I saw a conversation box from Charles. I'm like 'I used to date him'. Loong was soooo surprised coz Charles is his best friend back in Primary 6 HAHAHAHH!!!
WTF! Life huh!
Me: I used to sorta date him last time when we were in primary 6 hahah.Loong: WHAT??? You never told me before! OMG...I can't believe it! He's my best friend back in pri 6 ok!! You have to tell me everything! HAHAHAH!!I'm so taken aback with how surprised he was. Wtf. Such a drama queen! Last time, I told him a secret too and cued dramatic reaction.
He IM-ed Charles and asked him about me. Then I also joined in the conversation.
Suan: Hey Charles, I'm Lesley.
Charles: Are you joking?
Suan: No, it's me Lesley here.
Charles: Why are you with Lai? Are you his gf?
Loong then took over from there.
Charles said 'Hey buddy, good to hear that you're with her'. WTF. Damn awkward one.
Funny right! How life turns out to be.
Loong told me funny stories about them way back when they were young. He started golf lessons with Loong and one time, they put some golf balls in Loong's front yard and aimed for the beach WTF HAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!! Didn't have a care at all where the balls ended up. Prolly hit some innocent cars in the main road.
Eh, if any of your cars got a mysterious dent back then, it is prolly them hahahah!!!
And then, they used to make their own WWF belt from paper in Loong's mum's bedroom. Pretended they were some famous wrestlers with the music playing in the background.
Doesn't that make you glad that you have a normal childhood.
