Test of the day: Are you loony?

...and the verdict on me?:
"It only happens once in a blue moon, but when you cut loose, you really cut loose. We wouldn't call you loony, but you might qualify for loon-ish. Because while you've been known to have your moments of insanity, you're usually the model of decorum. That's why people are so tickled when you do occasionally do and say off-the-wall, goofy things. But you usually tend to keep your emotions and behavior strictly in check — making sure the scales are firmly tipped toward "sanity" is something you take pride in. That said, it wouldn't hurt to indulge your loony side a little more often. Being dependable and reliable is one thing; being predictable is something else entirely. So leave work early and go fly a kite. Hire a skywriter to inscribe your squeeze's name in midair. Go skinny dipping in January. Make a point of leaving room for spontaneity and craziness in your life — trust us, it's lots of fun."

Last evening, SOS-ed my pal Kok Keong to accompany me for present-hunting at Gurney Plaza, altho' he has no frigging-clue who I am getting it for. What a pal :)

It's a last minute thing! Sharimalan had called from Alor Setar & has no clue who's supposed to get the pressie (we need it later tonight!)... so I volunteered. Only problem was - I couldn't think what'd be suitable for Sally - she's into spiritual, dramatic, ethnic & artistic. Nothing in the average gift shop would do.

After walking about 30 mins, Daws called to say Julie & Kevin were going to buy a present at Gurney too. Quickly called Julie to tell her I'd meet them at the info counter. Kok Keong left after they arrived (a big-big thanx to KK for being such a sport).

We then wandered around for about 1 1/2 hours with a very zoned-out, blur & super benggang-ed Kevin - who basically dragged himself along. We left the mall with only the wrappers, a card & NO present *wail*. Start panicking!

Finally, we decided to try our luck at Batu Feringghi - and found "The Gift" in our first 10 minutes there. However, we decided to walk the whole stretch hoping to find if there's anything else that we could consider. There was a slight drizzle... while we were in the Langkawi Batik Souvenir Shop, it started to RAIN HEAVILY.... noOoooOOOooo. Luckily, I somehow had the psychic-sense to lug 2 umbrellas with me after I had parked my car, before the 3 of us continued our gift-quest.

The umbrellas did not exactly shelter us - strong winds. We were partially drenched as we walked back to the stall with "the gift". We haggled as the rain sprayed at us under the short canopy set up by the stall owner.

Now that our mission has ended, I went home - took a nice warm bath, checked my mails & "hello!" warm-comfy bed...
