I'll keep you comfortable at night...
I know the title suggests um, many many different meanings but, hehe, think 'cleanly', people. LOL! Like I said in my previous post, I'll be dedicating this post to the oh-so-warm-comfortable pillow case my DongBang girls and I got for Jinli. So yeah, I think that explains my title now. hehe. (The 'I' refers to the pillow case, if you still don't get me. O__O)
Before showing you the awesome pillow case we got for her, I'll tell you how much blood and sweat we(especially Jean and I) shed for it. I finished the design on Wednesday morning and later in the afternoon, I was supposed to meet Jean at Mid Valley to get it printed. So yeah, Wednesday afternoon, Jean and I met in Midvalley at about 2pm and we began searching for the stall where we heard from Leeyee that they do this kind of business. All we knew about the location of the stall was it was somewhere on the 1st floor. And heck, the 1st floor is so huge! And not to mention, the LONGGG walk.. O__O We came from the KTM station(it's on one end of the building) and after walking for so long, we found the stall on THE OTHER END.
But that's not all.
When we found the stall, we were so happy(believe me, we really were). However, our happiness died when the boss said he only had colors of yellow and blue for the pillow case. We were like.. WHAT!?!! We wanted either white or red because those are the only colors that will compliment the design I did. The boss fella suggested that we get our own pillow case and he'll print it for us. Half price. So he gave us the measurements of his pillow case(16'x16') and we left the stall to search for that white pillow case with the exact same size. We started our hunt at Metrojaya first since it was nearer. OMG, it was FREAKIN HARD to find a WHITE pillow case. We saw so many white PILLOWS but not even ONE white PILLOW CASE?! AGSVH$&%FUJD!^&#@JHDH!!!!
Searched the whole of Metrojaya but found nothing so we headed off to our next destination, JUSCO which was on the OTHER end. On the way to Jusco, we came across a few stores that sell bedsheets, pillow cases, etc. None of them had what we wanted and we finally got to Jusco, we still couldn't find it! Gawd, imagine how frustrated we felt! GAHH! In the end, when we were still browsing through the pillow cases in Jusco, I suggested to Jean that we get the usual size of white pillow(the ones we use to sleep on). After much discussion, Jean agreed that we go with my suggestion since we couldn't find that 16'x16' pillow case. =="
Sigh, but then, we were not sure if the guy could do it for us since the pillow case is of a different size now. SO, off we went to the stall on the OTHER END again to ask about it. When we got to the stall(again), the guy recognised right away and asked if we found it. We said that we couldn't and asked if he could still do it with a different size. He said, 'YEAH, OF COURSE.'
SIGHHH.. so yeah, BACK to Jusco(the other end again!) to purchase that pillow case. Oh-my-jaejoong, seriously, I lost count of the times we went back and forth between both ends that day. My legs hurt from all the walk because I was wearing heels and Jean's shoulder hurt because her bag was heavy(she came from college; imagine the books!).
After 2 hours, we finally got everything done and headed back home. You have no idea how happy I felt when I saw my bed as I stepped into my room. I jumped on my bed and lay down there for a good 15mins before hitting the shower. XD
The design wasn't much of a hassle since well, I'm used to doing things like this and it only took me about 1.5hrs to get the design done. The hard part of the process was choosing the pictures the girls sent me. They took loads.. O_O especially Jeannette. XD
Now, lemme explain the design a little. hehe.
First, I only used colors of red, black, white and grey because well, this combination tends to blend REALLY well with one another and hehe, we all know that Red stands for Cassiopeia(dbsk's fanclub). The red balloon + words '동방신기(DBSK)' on the left acts as a token of remembrance of how we girls first became closer to each other. Yeah, it's because of the love we all share for that 5-member boy band, DBSK. The quote, "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you've forgotten the words" suggests that we've become so close till we know each other inside-out even without trying. And of course, "5-1=0" is a famous phrase other fellow Cassiopeians use to describe DBSK's bond/brotherhood. I find it describes us too since the meaning behind it is like... if one person leaves, it'll never be complete anymore. So yups, FOREVER 5!
"GAHH! So comfortable!" LOL!
Jinli, make sure you use this and hug us at night when you're in Australia!
HAHAH!! I love you, girl! ♥ ♥
