Merry Christmas one and all... :)
My brain is a bit dead now, so i'll blog later when it's working again. Hopefully. Meanwhile, i wish u all a very merry day and a funny new year!
For a very, very special friend, i wish u a peaceful new year. I think u need it most out of everything else. Be brave!
I saw this the other day as i was going downstairs...
I just had to take a photo! God, how i miss playing Mahjong. I remember the days in school (secondary) when i was dubbed Mahjong Queen. I love playing mahjong. Couldn't resist it. I could do countless nights of overnight mahjong sessions. Well, last time we were very free wat. All we do is go to school, rite? :P
In fact, i was so addicted that i created Scrabble Mahjong back in the days when we finished our GCE 'O' Levels papers but still had to go to school everyday until school breaks for the holidays.
Like all good Singaporean schools, of cos we can't bring mahjong sets to school to play. But Scrabble, now that's a different story, no? The teachers love it. It's educational, it's challenging and it's teaches u to spell, increases your vocabulary and what not. Well, not to yours truly here. Hehe. So how does this Scrabble Mahjong work, u ask? It's brilliantly simple. All you need is a Scrabble set, and u choose 13 tiles from the bag instead of the usual 7. Mahjong needs 13 tiles wat! And all u need to do to win is, instead of the creating the usual suits, you just collect 'A-B-C' or 'A-A-A'. It's really simple. Yah, yah, i know. Not all the alphabets in Scrabble come in the same number of tiles.. so it's kinda unfair. I mean if u got a 'Q', it's quite unlikely to get a 'Q-Q-Q' versus a 'E-E-E' or an 'O-O-O'. Well, then use your brain. Discard the 'Q'! :P The funny part is u keep hearing all of us chanting 'a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n.....x, y, z.' Haha!
And the beauty of it all is.... here it comes, when a teacher walks in, all u need is a quick sweep of the hand and everything is all messed up. So the teacher thinks we all have been very good gals playing Scrabble when we were actually playing mahjong! No one is any wiser. I am good rite? Yeah, i know, i am.... :)
So now, for the million dollar question..... Anyone game for overnight mahjong? :D
Gosh! I saw this book being recommended online and i was like 'there is actually a book written on this??!'. As we would say on this sunny, green island, win lor.
Read the reviews, they are fucking hilarious! :)
Does it make u wanna run out to a bookstore and grab a copy? Wait, make sure u grab a guy on the way back too. You don't wan to run out of the main ingredient right? Hehe.
I received a card from Ikea today in the post. On the card, there is this statement that reads 'Over 53% of Singaporean men has never or rarely visited a website with adult content.'
AS IF! My big fat foot! Did they include the population of ah pehs and uncles who doesn't own a computer or don't know how to use them?! Hence the 53%. I bet my last dollar that any hot blooded male (straight or otherwise) who owns a pc, laptop or pda, has freaking visited 'a website with adult content' the last time he touched the damn thing.
Super DUHZ!
I finally found something to entertain myself! And no, it doesn't need companionship... It's baking! Okie, actually i already knew how to bake long ago, but i just found the passion for it again recently.
Two things: First, i do not have a proper oven so currently i can only bake in this pathetic little toaster oven. And cos the oven is so small, it tends to burn the crusts even before the insides are cooked. So to lower the temperature of the oven, guess wat i have to do? Manually open and close the oven door! And to control the temperature of the oven? Switch off and on the main power. Pwwweeeeh! I seriously need a proper oven. Anyone wanna buy an oven for me for Christmas? :)
Second, i do not have an electric whisk so i have to beat and whisk the batter by hand. Do u have any freaking idea how tiring that is?? I think i have developed arm muscles....
Back to baking, i made chocolate cupcakes and oats & chocolate chip cookies so far (hey! i started only 2 weeks ago!). Below are some pictures. Doesn't look very nice but they are tasty (they are all gone)!
Chocolate cupcakes
Oats & chocolate chip cookies in progress

Final product! Oats & chocolate chip cookies. :)
Your result for What's Your Price?...
You're really, really expensive!
If we put you on the market, it looks like you'd be worth $939 million. Of the 42 different scenarioes, you said you couldn't be bought on 18 of them.
For the record, every time you refused to do something for any amount of money, it added another $50 million to your score (hey, I had to assign it SOME sort of dollar value).
So, you're not easily bought. To score in this category, you must have said NO to close to half of the questions. You were probably okay with some of the more innocuous stuff, but where you were being offered money at the risk of permanently affecting yourself or screwing over a friend, it was much harder for you to say yes. It's easy for people to insist that they're not easily swayed by money, but it your case it seems that's actually the truth - and that probably makes you someone people can put a great deal of trust in. You stick to your principles more strongly than most people do, and that's something to be proud of!
Feel superior. Next to you, most people look sort of cheap.
Your result for The Find Your Philosophical Era! Test...
38% Ancient, 6% Medieval, 19% Modern and 38% Post-Modern!
Congratulations! You are: an Ancient!
Ancient philosophers share an unabashed elitism. Although the Greeks are considered to have invented democracy, they would have laughed to scorn many of our 21st-century democratic ideas. Ancient moral philosophy is slightly more hedonistic than anything that followed it; the Ancients had strict ideas about right and wrong, but the obsessive pursuit of perfection, the compulsive need to do one’s duty no matter the cost, belong to later eras. Being good was neatly tied up in the Ancient mind with being happy.
Rather than criticizing the work of their predecessors, Ancient philosophers found themselves alone in a bold new world. Their first attempts at studying the world are still some of the best. This is the era of Herodotus, the father of history, Euclid, the father of mathematics, and Plotinus, the father of meaningless metaphysical bullshit.
Some typical ancient philosophers: Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Plotinus, Herodotus, Euclid
Some ancient artists: Homer, Virgil, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Pindar, Sappho, Praxiteles
Typical ancient art forms: epic poetry, lyric poetry, farce, satire, sculpture, dialogue
I was watching Mediacorp's Channel 8 programe Buffet Buffet (it's a show about where to get the best buffet deals, duhz) in the evening. And i saw this, Shangri-La's The Rose Veranda's dessert buffet! What caught my attention wasn't really the desserts (Okie, okie, it was. Who am i kidding? The desserts look fabulious! :P), but the variety of tea they serve there. An amazing 102 blends of tea! Cool! I love tea (and coffee for that matter, and alcohol and...). If i didn't remember wrongly, the buffet costs $28++ inclusive of the free flow of tea! I wanna gooooooo.... Date anyone?
The only down side to this is Shangri-La is not exactly very convenient to get to and the buffet is only available on weekday afternoons. So u either have to apply leave or get an MC! Haha!
I was out for tea with a friend who recently is 'unemployed by choice' (meaning resigned for the uninitiated) and she asked me what can she do to keep herself entertained. The conversation went something like this:
Fren: I am glad i resigned, i was seriously hating my job. But i am soooo bored now, and it's only been 1 week! What do u do to entertain yourself??
Me: I go shopping!
Fren: Got so many things to buy meh?
Me: Of cos! There are always things to buy! Any shop i walk into, i also can find something to buy!
Fren: But it's always the same stuff wat, how many times can u shop in orchard road or city hall?? Same shops, different outlets only wat. They are all selling the same things!
Me: NO! It's different wat. U can't finish all the shops in 1 day so every day it's different shops. Must learn to plan and rotate ur shopping so u see different things!
Fren rolls eyes.
Fren: Then where do u store all the stuff u bought?? I hate to see many things in my home.
Me: I operate on the 'first in, first out' basis, meaning when i buy something, i always go home and throw out something which i dun like. This way there is always an equilibrium! :)
Fren rolls eyes again.
Fren: U know, when u talk about shopping, your eyes seriously lit up. I think it's your passion. I need to find mine.
Me: Hahahaha...
Yeah, my passion. Now, if only my wallet feels the same way. Hahaha!
I was trying to make myself a cup of tea just now when the below happened.
Brain: Send signal to tell hand to put cup under thermoflask.
Hand: Refuse to move.
Brain: Received signal that cup is under thermoflask.
Brain: Send signal to press for hot water.
Hand: Press hot water.
Brain: FUCK!
Mouth: Fuck!
Luckily, no part of me was scalded by the hot water. It just shows how disconnected is my brain from my body and vice versa. Duhz!
I need a brain transplant!
I like it
when everything is quiet and dark.
when i can hear nothing but my own heatbeat.
when i can see nothing but the vast empty skies.
when i think of nothing but unspoken thoughts.
when i feel nothing but buried feelings.
I like it
the solitude,
the privacy,
the tranquility,
the stillness.
I just wish you were here to share it with me.
Don't really know why, but i am so digging this song right now. It's like stuck in my head all the time! So if u see a gal on the train or walking along in town humming this tune, it just might be me! :)
Oh, by the way, i do love retro 80's songs. I know, it's uncool, but heck, who really cares? :P
My horoscope today reads as follows:
Do you know the fastest route to your happy place? If not, then you'd better figure it out, quick! There will be at least one difficult personality living up to their name today, making your life a little bit more difficult. Their demands or preferences are going to complicate something that you thought was going to be quick and simple. You can't get mad, but you can get out of there. For solace, you'll need to go to your happy place and stay put until things are all ironed out.
Shit. It looks like another bad day ahead. Sigh... Even my horoscope doesn't give me any hope. Problem is i dun know where my happy place is! I need a deserted island.... :(
I just took this online test... and my results are as below.
Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...
Nature, Background, Big Picture, and Color
You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the colors around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You are a down-to-earth person who enjoys going with the flow.
The Perception Personality Types:
Okie, who's the smart alec that said counting sheep puts u to sleep is seriously deluded or seriously trying to delude u. So for the lack of a better reponse..... ARGH!
Well, u probably gather by now, i have an issue. A major one at that. I can't sleep!
Counting sheep obviously doesn't work for me... Come on, i mean if one counts up to 3 thousand over sheep, i am quite sure it's safe to say the sheep counting doesn't freaking work!
Or maybe i have been doing this all wrong. Maybe it's the sheep! I should have tried other animals like koalas or ducks or turtles. Hey, guess wat?! Jellyfish sounds good to me! I am so gonna try jellyfish tonight. Wish me luck! :)
Maybe i will end up with this...
Gee, i realised it's exactly a month ago since my last post. Oh well. Nope, i din abandon ship or abandon blog as u might call it here (to tell the truth, i was comtemplating about that for the longest time but surely, u din think i was going to leave without even a goodbye?). I was, for lack of a more dramatic answer, sick! Yeah. Just that. A simple virus issue. I was indisposed to rest early. Therefore, i din go online, much less blog!
So there. I am still alive. Barely.
Bold, energetic, and always ready. Is that you or your coffee? To the casual observer, there's really no difference. How you take your coffee provides people with a small window into your personality. Here's what one might see...
For you, coffee is a tool. Your drinking style labels you as a go-getter. A non-stop, hard worker. Coffee gives you the jump-start you need in the morning and keeps you going throughout the day. Your fellow coffee drinkers most likely see you as resourceful, energetic, and tireless. You are always on. If a job needs to get done, you're just the type to make it happen. Your coffee style says that you're very flexible and that you adapt well to change. In fact, you require a lot of variety in your life. You probably juggle many tasks at once or move quickly from one task to the next. You are driven by your desire to accomplish many things, and sometimes it might seem like there isn't enough time in the day. Creative, quick and witty, you grab hold of life with both hands and hang on for the ride.
I have been having this incredible headache since the moment i woke up yesterday. Not that it's excruciatingly painful, ( it's more like a dull, relentless kind of pain), but just wouldn't go away! I tried rolling my neck, massaging my feet and toes (they are connected to the head u know?), and nothing works. I think i need a full body massage!
Anyways, it's gotten so terrible that for the best part of the rest of the day, i felt like puking...
So, now at 1am, i finally surrendered,, i just popped 2 painkillers (hey, i just dun believe in medicines unless absolutely necessary, can?). Hopefully, i will be able to get a good nite's sleep later.
I didn't know whether to be flattered or to laugh or to cry or to actually have any kind of response when a friend sent me the following sms forwarded from another friend this evening.
"Did i tell u ur fren (referring to me) looks really hot? The very type i have low resistance to. Couldn't keep my eyes off her."
OH MY GOD! Remember what they taught you in business school? About sending out the correct message to the correct target audience? I think i have been sending out the wrong messages to the wrong crowd... Yeah, the sms was from a GIRL... more precisely, a lesbian. *faints*
P.S. Oh yes, i was wearing one of my new sexy dresses when we happened to bump into said friend's friend. :P
It's Great Singapore Sale (GSS) time! Almost 3 weeks into the sale and i have bagged the following:
- 2 sexy, printed dresses from The Trunkshop inside Takashimaya @ $80. Usual price is $50 each.
- 2 sexy, black dresses from Hypnosis (the outlet at Vivocity, they have much nicer designs there) @ $70. One dress for $35 is cheap, no?
- another 2 dresses from some other shop at Citylink also @ $70.
- 2 sets of bra and undies from Blush @ $50! WOW!
- 2 pieces of lingerie (satin slip kind) from Blush @ $40! Double WOW WOW!
Haha! As u can see, i am enjoying myself.... :)
The only downside to all these shopping is my toes freaking hurt!
brownie batter ice cream with a rich brownie batter swirl
Mmmm....you are a very sweet mix indeed! You are warm, loving, and caring to all those around you, but you're not boring in the least! You have a wild streak and a creative, unique streak, too. You are a great friend, an interesting person, and you know how to have fun without ending up crouching over a toilet bowl. Nice!

I was watching some Sesame Street YouTube videos (the classic kind from the 70s and not that modern silly red, squeaky monster kind) and i found this gem! It has to be one of my all-time favourite Sesame Street songs....
Enjoy.
OH MY GOD! And then i found this! Kylie singing Especially For You with Kermit! :)
Oh yes, i was one of those 70s kids who grew up watching Jim Henson on Sesame Street...
P.S. I loved those New Flash segments! :)
And so, here i am again... with nothing to blog about. My life is so uninterestingly predictable. Gosh... i really need some excitement. I am sitting here pondering.. how did it get sooooo boring?! I mean, hey, i used to the life of any party. My schedule was packed up to 2 weeks in advance, sometimes even up to 1 month! Now, it's like 'where-did-everyone-disappeared-to?'. Sigh. I guess we all have to grow up at some point of time. 'Commitments' is a scary word. It kills any kind of fun, seriously.
Yes, i am whining, grumbling, grousing.
My balance of being happily depressed is tipping over to the depressed side. And i am desperately trying to be indifferent to my feelings but i think i am fighting a losing battle. :(
Let me try to put it into mathematical terms for u.
Equation 1:
Not happy = Depressed = Need to shop = No money = More depressed
Equation 2:
Not happy = Depressed = Need to drink = Get wasted = More depressed
Equation 3:
Not happy = Depressed = Need to have senseless, emotionless sex = More depressed
Equation 4:
Not happy = Depressed = Dun feel like having any sex = More depressed
(Well, equation 3 & 4 swings both ways.)
Did i mention i like changes? Being unchangable kills my soul.....
Yippee! Or maybe... Yikes! Depending on how u look at it. (Both begins with 'Y' anyways.) Yup, it's my birthday today.
A few days ago, a pair of suspiciously strange-looking shoes (black, lace-ups, well-worned but not all that dingy) appeared outside my doorsteps. I didn't take much notice of them thinking that they belonged to one of my family members. However, after some asking around (cos i didn't see anyone else wearing it), i realised that no one owns that pair of shoes. So the question remains, how did it get there in the first place?
Freaky!
I refuse to blog further about this topic seeing how i am typing alone (again) at 2am in the nite. :P
Wat's with this weather? It's been so freaking warm and humid.. I HATE IT. I can't even think straight. I feel my brains (or watever that's left in my skull) rapidly melting away. It's too hot to think, let alone do anything.
Firstly, i can't MSN.
A typical conversation goes something like this:
Then, complete silence as we both rot in the heat. Yeah, no kidding.
Secondly, i can't blog. Can't make the effort to compose my withering tots....
Excuse me, while i go and collect in a pool of myself. :P
I was just going through my old magazines (yes, i was that free) when i came across an interesting article in Simply Her, titled 'Tame His Libido'. What caught my attention was the following paragraph below:
"Notice how he comes home from a jog or tennis game in a fantastic mood? That's because exercise causes a rise in adrenaline levels and endorphin production. These feel-good hormones don't just make him feel like Superman, they also increase arousal and orgasm intensity, the effect of which lasts about an hour or more with just 10 minutes of activity."
And i wondered, is that true?! So u mean men feel more frisky after exercising? I thought they will feel tired and sleepy? Men out there who are reading this blog, kindly let me know. Hahaha....
Oh yah, the article forgets to mention, what if he loses his tennis game? Wouldn't it more likely that his mood will be bad than be interested in sex? Hmmmm....
This afternoon as i was happily sitting at home, minding my own biz, guess what happened? I got stalked by a stupid, idiotic, spasticated BIRD! To be specific, it was a mynah. Silly, dumb, i-have-to-kill-it (not that i really would) bird! What takes the cake was that it (said mynah) wasn't just contented with harassing me once.... it had to do it twice! Aaaaaaaargh!
So, the day was really hot and i opened all the windows in the house and even left the main door opened. I was in the bedroom for a while doing something and then i went into the kitchen to get a drink. When i wanted to turn and go out, i realised it (THE mynah) had been hopping behind me! I attempted to shoo it away, thinking that birds usually would fly out the nearest window (don't they normally do that??!). So i stomped my feet and made some loud noises BUT it just looked at me with the most incredulous look, as if to say 'hey, don't be silly, i am not frighten by you!'. Then it hopped even closer to me! Okie, i know i said i am not scared of anything but roaches.... but, but, but... have you ever met a bird who was not to be frighten off?? I have never. :P
Anyways, i realised that i had no where to go but into the toilet which i did and promptly closed the door. i thought it would have flown off by now cos beside the toilet was wide, opened windows. No such luck! I pushed the toilet door slightly ajar to peep outside and guess what i saw? There at the crack was that silly mynah peeping right back at me! I swear! It's true... it was doing this slightly cocked head thing and face to one side with one eyeball staring straight back at me. If that is not called peeping, i don't know what else it's called. I tried to spray some water through the crack and banged loudly on the door, hoping it would be frighten off. Well, that's the best i could come up with given the fact that i was kept captive in my own toilet by a silly bird! Again, no such luck, it wasn't even the least bit impressed with what i could come up with, and even tried to push its way in through the crack! In the end, i stayed in the toilet for at least a good 10 minutes. Of cos, i got out in the end, how else would i be sitting here blogging about this then?
I got (read: ran) out when i saw that it was no longer guarding at the door (thinking with glee that it finally flew out), what i didn't realised at that time was it was still happily hanging around in my house. I got to the safety of my living room and looked at the kitchen carefully to confirm that it's really gone but saw something hopping around my bin instead. The Mynah. :(
All i can say is this was one very determined bird. Very determined to stay in my house that is.
To cut a long story short. I called for help and my saviour came, caught the bird with his hands (cos no amount of chasing seemed to move him) and threw it out of the windows.
Round 1: Mynah 0, BCFUM 1.
Of cos, you would be thinking, no way in hell that it's going to fly up almost 10 floors and find the same unit again. Wrong.
20 minutes later, i saw it hopped in, with an air of arrogance (as if to say 'hey, i remembered how to come back!'), from the main door as if it owns the place! (So that's where it came in from.) I ran towards it and tried to shoo it out of the door but it just flew in over my head. Aaaargh! Then it flew into my bedroom and proceeded to make its claim on MY bed! Nooooooooooooooooooo..... Of cos, i called for help again and out of the window it went again.
Round 2: Mynah 0, BCFUM 2.
Sure, i got smart after the second time, i went and closed the door and all the windows. So thanks to a stalker bird, i got to spend the rest of the day in a self-made sauna. Thanks for nothing Mynah!
I hope i don't have to see YOU again tomorrow. :(
I just received my credit card bills for last month and realised that i spent almost $400 on 'paints'! Nah, not the artistic painting kind of paints... i am never an artistic kinda person (and dun tell me anything about abstract art, i can turn the picture upside down and right-to-left, stare at it for 3 days and never ever see anything). It's cosmetics i'm talking about. I got 2 new lipsticks, 1 blusher and 1 finishing powder. Yes, i know, those dun cost me $400 (unless they are made of gold)! The rest of the money goes to 4 bottles of whitening skincare. Yeah, i love to 'bleach' myself. Gals should look milky and fair rite?
My galfren's comment when she heard how much i spent and wat i bought was 'Why do u need so much ICI??' :P It's a skill for a gal to apply all the ICI paints and still look au naturel.
I can't wait to test them out.. Now, who wants to date me? :)
Things i need to do before my next birthday! Which sadly isn't too far off and that leaves me with not much time... :(
1. Sign up for some form of physical class... am thinking of either yoga or pilates. :)
2. Actually going for the above mentioned classes. Haha.
3. Rediscover my personal style.
4. Revamp my wardrobe.
5. Declutter my living spaces.
6. READ more! And i dun mean magazines or street directories or instruction manuals. :P
7. Learn a new hobby, by that i mean something that will keep me entertained for hours.. and blogging doesn't count.
8. Make more friends... i have no friends (why else do u think i am blogging on a saturday nite?).. PATHETIC!
I was just sitting there in the day and then these thoughts just flashed in my mind. Where are all the people i missed today? What are they doing at that very moment? Do they still remember that i exist? Do they care if i miss them still?
Yes, there are actually people that i miss. I wonder how have they been occassionally. Nope, i dun have a email address, a MSN id, a blog name, much less a mailing address! I guess i will have to miss them until the time when i can actually forget about them.
1. Only gay men know how to cook.
2. Only gay men know how to dress fashionably.
3. Only gay men know anything to do with interior designing.
4. Only gay men are sensitive to your needs.
5. Only gay men know how to 'communicate'.
6. Only gay men know how to pick up after themselves.
7. Only gay men cry at sappy korean dramas.
8. Only gay men know how to appreciate chick flicks.
9. Only gay men know how to pick out the perfect gift.
Notice how gay men know EVERYTHING. I wan to marry a gay man! Wahahahahaha.....
Yup, that's rite. That's how i felt today. Oh wait, make it yesterday. :)
I was out during the day and did 2 good deeds. Yeah, i know... u must be thinking 'Oh my gosh!?!? She did?? The sun must have rose from the west today!' It's not that i am a horrible, selfish, arrogant, egotistc, narcissistic bitch. (Of cos not! How could u be thinking that?? Now i feel soooooooo sad. Haha!) It's just that i subscribe to the "Every man for himself" school of thought. If u dun help yourself, who in the world is going to help u? No?
So back to my 2 good deeds... Actually, they are no biggies. Just a small gesture on my part but it's something that not much people in our 'first world' country seem to be willing to do so. Make a guess... wat do u think i did today? I gave up my seats in the train on both occassions! :)
The first good deed was on the train to town, an old man came in and i stood up to give up my seat to him although he was standing some distance from me. He got off a few stations later though, while poor me continued to stand until i got to my stop. But it's okie.
The second time was on the trip back home. I was actually engrossed in my magazine and din notice a heavily pregnant woman standing in front of me. By the time i looked up, i guess she has already been standing for a while cos she looked quite tired. Of cos, i immediately stood up and offered her my seat which she accepted gratefully. Wat made me wonder was... why din anybody else offer her a seat?! There were many other abled-bodies planting their fat, lazy butts on the train seats too. I don't suppose they are all blind rite?
My quota of being seriously ill for the year arrived early this year. I seldom fall sick, but when it does happen (which is about once a year), it's often with a vengeance. It happened on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year. So there goes all the visiting, partying, eating junk, drinking junk and basically gambling oneself silly (oh wait, i dun gamble unless it's overnite mahjong!) this year. There i was feeling strangely headachey when i woke up on that fateful day. As the morning passed, i felt hotter and hotter, my throat was getting more sore and the intense thumping in my head just refused to go away (no... it din have anything to do with all the late nites of the 1st two days of CNY, in fact i din even celebrate CNY but that's another tale for another day).
So i was lying there with watever life that was left in me for most of the afternoon. Evening came and i started to, guess wat? Puke my guts out! (It just gets better, no?) First was my lunch, followed by the little bit of red bean dessert i had for tea and the final straw was the meds that took after the last mentioned puke. By that time, i was a total wreak, my head was spinning in ten thousand different directions. I laid on the couch and refused to move a muscle. When i finally felt well enough to stand (without collapsing over), it was already 11pm. I had to be dragged to some 24-hours clinic at god-knows-where and waited with this ging-gang of people who, (looked relatively well to me), had nothing else better to do than to fight with me to see the doc in the middle of the nite. At last, after 10 over other patients, it was my turn. The doc said 'gastric flu and throat infection'. A jab at my butt and tons of meds later, i was able to go home. Needless to say, i crashed for 3 days.
BUT, that's not all, the 3 days later, i had diarrhea! For the next 2 days! Apparently, my gastric hasn't fully recovered. Yes, apparently.
Headache, fever, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, sore throat and diarrhea. I got everything i can for the year in the past week. Exciting, no? Yeah, i survived. Hooray for me! :(
Oh yah, happy Chinese New Year. Gong xi fa cai!
Tsk, tsk, Edison baby. How could u? Okie, i mean u could (technically) but to 'lose' the pictures?! Now, that's extremely DUMB. Okie, probably not much loss to u cos u are the guy here. But then, the whole world now knows how big (or small) u are... Hahahaaa...
Then, there is the question of why did the not-so-smart female allow the pics to be taken in the first place? (Everyone say 'DUHZ' altogether now.)
Okie, i shan't blog about the stupidity of people anymore. By 'anymore', i mean 'for the moment'. Wahahahaaa....
So there i was, happily sipping my Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri (which according to my fren tasted like washing detergent, wait, everything tastes like washing detergent to her anyway. Duhz!). My partner-in-crime was having some citrus-y cocktail mix. We bitched, laughed and basically caught up with each other's lives. Oh yah, i forgot, we also stared at all the babes dressed in low-cut, tight, short, skimpy outfits. Actually, it was more like i stared and informed her to stare too. Haha! Yeah. I love to look at gals. No! I am not a lesbian (not that i have anything against that particular lifestyle, i just love men too much! Wahahaaa!). My theory is... IF they (babes dressed in low-cut, tight, short, skimpy outfits) do NOT want to be stared at, THEY should not be dressed in that way! No? :P
Next, we shared a glass of dessert wine. Ok, i shall not pretend to be snob and wax lyrical about the fineries of wine tasting. In fact, we asked one of the friendly AND helpful waiters over for his recommendation. Haha. So, we got this sweet, fruity dessert wine that wasn't too dry. Yes, we are still gals at heart.
Ok, so there i WAS. After finishing that little bit of pathetic alcohol, i thought (felt) i was still alright. Said goodbye to my fren and took a cab back. But by the time i reached home, i could barely stand upright (read: woozy). Had to drag myself to the shower and hit the bed. Gee... my alcohol tolerance levels are way way rock bottom man. There is a perfect solution to this though, I need to drown myself in alcohol every other day. :)
Yipee.... i can hardly contain my excitement over THIS impending Friday. Hey, wait a minute, it's tomorrow! Yeah! Wat's happening? I am going out to paint the town red, or pink, or black, or rainbowliciooooously wonderful (watever that might mean). Hahaaa... Yes, i am pathetic. I seldom get to go out... :X
Now i have a problem. Wat should i wear?!?!?!
I was thinking of wearing a knee-length skirt with a side slit but was 'informed' by my partner-in-crime that she would be dressed in jeans (the horror! the horror!). Oh, it's not that i have anything against jeans. I just don't own any (the truth is, i can't find any to fit my fat butt and make it look miraculously slim, damn!). That is, of cos, not counting the only pair of demin carpis i just recently aquired. I was thinking of saving it for Chinese New Year. It wouldn't be 'new' if i wore it out this Friday. :(
And so, back to my problem. I can't think of wat bottom to wear! Shoes, bag, top, i got them covered. I just can't decide if i want to wear pants, demin carpi (to match my fren) or skirt. I guess i will just have to fashion parade them around the house tomorrow to decide then.
Yeah, i know. Only a gal will term this as a major catastrophe! Hahaha...
I received a few mysterious missed calls today. From strange unknown numbers. I tried calling back but either there was no answer or the line was engaged. Weird. And the callers never once called back a second time. Very weird. The best part is there was even one which is a private number. I sms-ed the only few people i know using private numbers (yah, they all owe loansharks money so have to keep their numbers private, haha!) and they all said that they didn't called. Extremely weird. I wonder if there is anything to do with the new movie coming soon, One Missed Call. FREAKY!
One another note, the entire sky is in this wonderful grapefruity pink colour, and it finally started to rain as i was typing this post. :)

Happy new year! Yeah, i know i am like a few days late.. but u know wat they say, better late than never... So, here... HAPPY 2008 again!
The year's off to not such a great start (i hope yours had been fantastic). It could have been better. Lesser displeasure, lesser impatience, lesser anger. Well, that's the story of MY life. Depressing eh? I bet ya. And yes. I completely missed Christmas. I'm sorry (to those who missed me, not that there will actually be any). :(
So anyways, here's my resolution for the year:
More shopping! (of cos! ahbeden?)
More money! (needless to say, it's the fuel for shopping!)
More excerise.... (does sex count?)
Less fats. (man, i absolutely loathe, abhor, detest those size 0 models!)
