So let me tell you all about my weekend. This weekend is different from all my other weekends? You know why?
Because it’s one of those weekends when I’m all alone… in this case because Shorty is in Japan for work. Before she left though, she added something in my car. Something I only discovered the next morning after she was gone. So I hopped into my car happily that following morning and I saw THIS on my dashboard… staring at me.
I took a picture of it and posted it up on my Instagram (in case you’re not already following me, you can do so at @timothytiah).
And these were the responses I got.
Clearly a number of people have seen our wedding video where I promised to be only “moderately angry” when she put a Hello Kitty sticker on my car.
This however wasn’t a Hello Kitty sticker. It was some air freshener that stood on my dashboard. Now anyone who looks at my car is going to think that it’s driven either by a girl or a very girly man. In any case I left it there and all weekend I have been struggling to make my peace with it. I still haven’t though. When I was stuck in the jam yesterday I could see it staring at me there with that big act cute smile. It took a lot to hold myself back from whacking it off my dashboard with one swing of my arm.
On another note, I picked up a copy of Malaysian Tatler over the weekend because I found out that a short mention of me was in it.
My friends think I look pretty good in that picture but believe me when I say it’s not because I look good in real life. The photographer had to take some 1,000 pictures of me before he could finally found one where I don’t look either fat, stupid or geeky. Plus on top of that they probably had to airbrush my pimples away too. Credit to them.. they did a great job 🙂
I must say… being the first time Shorty has left me for the weekend, I under-performed when it came to making the most of my “freedom”. On Friday night I went with some Nuffies to meet up with some bloggers at an Asahi drinking session. Where we ordered some 65 glasses of Asahi.
We had it at this bar on KLCC Tower 3. Can’t remember what it’s called but it had this beautiful view of the twin towers.
I don’t know many places where you get to have drinks right next to the tallest twin towers in the world. Here’s me with Povy and Jamie in one of the few pictures I managed to take that night.
I came totally under-dressed too. Everyone there was dressed up in shirts and all but I ended up going in a t-shirt that said “Osaka” on it. Totally unintentional because well.. when I went to work that day choosing to wear that t-shirt I didn’t think I would be going out for drinks at a nice bar after. In fact I didn’t even know that was happening… but some of the Nuffies dragged me along.
So Friday night was off to a good start right you’d think? Right after the NuffnangX preview I was at a bar on top of KL City having drinks with some cool and good looking, well-dressed people. Well… not really. I was the first to leave that night. Went home by 10PM to sleep. My friend Wilson who owns Milkadeal.com then messaged me and asked me to go Butter Factory … apparently some new club but I said nahh wanna go sleep. Just before I slept another friend messaged me and asked me to go clubbing too but again nahh… I tucked myself into bed and was asleep by 11PM or so that night.
Saturday night was even less eventful. I had dinner with my family here and then right after I went back, played some Battlefield 3…. and then was in bed by 11PM. Part of it was because I’ve been keeping myself intentionally jetlagged by a few hours so I could wake up early and go to the gym before I go to work or something but still… how did I just waste Friday and Saturday night sleeping away when all my friends were partying?
Seriously… what has become of me? Is this normal for all married people that… well you just get boring or lazy to go out after a while? Or is this just happening to me.
Oh well we’ll see anyway. Now I gotta go for Sunday dinner with my family then come home to sleep… probably before 11PM again. Ish.
