Dr. Phil’s Personality Test

2010-05-12T00:47:00.003+08:00

I just took the Dr. Phil's Personality Test and the below is my result.

"Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting, someone who’s constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding, someone who’ll always cheer them up and help them out."

Quite accurate I must say. :)

This post is dedicated to a dear friend.

So many secrets.
No one to tell.
Buried deep inside.

Festering. Burning. Gnawing.
A little by a little.
Whatever is left of a heart.

Girl Guide Cookies

2009-11-30T23:15:00.004+08:00

I happened to see these Girl Guide Cookies selling in a hotel during last Christmas and I bought the chocolate mint cookies just to try them out (they were recommended). Since I finished that 1 box, I had been having cookie withdrawal syndrome! When I 'discovered' the Girl Guides selling the cookies again somewhere near where I am staying, I was so happy! Cookie heaven!

Trust me, the chocolate mint ones are truly not to be missed. And that's coming from someone who doesn't really enjoy chocolate mints. I gave a box of them to another friend who is a chocolate and cookie fan and she also said they were delicious! By the way, she doesn't take chocolate mint too but I only realised that much later. :P

Oh, I am not going to tell you where they are selling. Figure it out youself. You know what they say, the food tastes much better after you worked for it! Hahaha!

Dear Santa,

I haven't been really good this year but if it's all the same to you, I would like to have this Gucci's smoky quartz cocktail ring. Pretty pleaseeeeeee?

A moon in the day sky

2009-11-25T22:46:00.006+08:00

It was a rare and strange sight (at least for me) to see the moon so clearly in the afternoon sky. What more when the sky was in such a glorious shade of blue today! I had to stop and stare with every few steps I took. :)

Sorry

2009-11-24T00:09:00.003+08:00

Some day I will send you a letter to say 'I am sorry.' Not because I feel that I was wrong. But because I can't stand this taciturnity any more. Until then, I guess we would just have to endure this deafening silence.

Another day, another death.

2009-11-20T00:41:00.006+08:00

Prologue: You know you are getting old when the only times you get to catch up with your friends are at weddings and funerals.

The dad of another friend of mine passed away last Saturday. Even though we drifted apart after leaving school, we were close then. Doing projects, leaving classes early, shopping and 'cheonging' together, granted that the last 3 probably weren't very scholarly actions. I attended the wake on Monday and somehow I felt really sad (like at the previous wake). Not that you are not supposed to be sad at funerals but it is not as if I knew her dad personally. What I did know is that she is extremely close to her family (just as my other friend is), especially to her dad.

I, on the other hand, am not close to my family members. Most of the time, they wouldn't know where, what or how the hell I am. I came to the conclusion that the sadness I felt is mainly for myself cos I will never experience the same kind of pain that my friends were/are feeling.

Ah!

2009-11-12T00:28:00.004+08:00

It took them so long to realised what I already knew long ago? I guess there's no telling who's the smarter one eh? :)

This is dedicated to a good friend of mine whose dad passed away last week.

Remember to tell the person you love 'I am sorry' for every fight you had.
Remember to tell the person you love 'I love you' for every day that passed.

Remember to tell the person you love before it's too late.

Wat the ??!?!?!

2009-10-07T00:28:00.005+08:00

I opened my lingerie drawer and I saw something black zipped past into the corner of the drawer. At first I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me cos it was kinda dim in the room. But I had the sneaking suspicion to be safe than sorry, so I did a little poking around in the drawer just to make sure it was not what I thought it was. Well, what can I say? Buy 4D also not so lucky! KNS!

It was really a ROACH!

So the story goes, I am standing there naked (I just showered what! What do u expect?) thinking what I should do next. I had to get rid of it, I can't just let the stupid thing run amok around my bras and undies! I quickly grabbed an underwear and some clothes, got dressed and took out the whole drawer to the kitchen. It was one of the more traumatising 2 minutes of my life. All the while I was hoping the damn thing doesn't crawl up my hands! I would have probably dropped the whole drawer on my toes if it really had done that. Bleh!

Anyways, the good news is I killed it. Bad news is I have to wash all my lingerie again. Which means that in the meantime, I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!

I am also thinking of washing all the clothes in the chest of drawers cos I am feeling so uncomfortable and itchy even as I am typing this post. But IF I do that, it will seriously mean that I will have ABSOLUTELY nothing to wear!

Someone please tell me what to do?!

Clouds

2009-09-13T01:52:00.006+08:00

I love looking at clouds, who doesn't? Took these photos some time ago when the skies were blue and cloudy. It just all looks like puffy, fluffy, cottony balls, right? Make a guess which is my favourite photo. :)

I lurk, around.

2009-09-02T01:36:00.003+08:00

Oh yeah, I am lurking around online. It's just that I am too lazy to blog and there is nothing worthy to blog of. So explains the emptiness for the past month or so.

Someone please tell me what to blog about! *pui*

AH! I have pics to post but they are in my desktop not my lappie (which I am using now). *pui pui*

Health updates:

Remember my intensely excruciating backache? It's gone! More or less. I finally couldn't take it anymore so I went to this highly recommended sinseh (Chinese physician) in Chinatown. Turns out my spine from head to tail is extremely crooked, hence pressing on all the wrong acupuncture points causing me to have all sorts of problems besides the backache. I shan't go into them least you think I am some dying, old woman. Ha.

'You must have had some kind of fall or hurt youself badly on your back. It's atrocious! I'll never seen someone whose spine is so badly crooked!' He proclaimed loudly after examining me.

'No leh, never. Not that I can remember.' I insisted.

Of cos, after going home, I did remember. I fell down the stairs while I was mopping them when I was in my early 20s. Come on, give me a break, that's almost 10 years ago, of cos I can't recall the incident off hand. Anyway, back to the accident, I slipped and fell down the flight of stairs hurting my lower back very, very badly. Tears streamed down involuntarily and I couldn't move for a good 10 minutes. And conincidentally, no one was at home so no one came to my help. The good news is, after that, besides the big bruise, I didn't feel any discomfort (the backache only occurred these past 2 years), which explains why I didn't remember the fall in the first place.

'Cannot be one! Sure have! Ask your mother.' And that was the end of that discussion.

The miraculous part is I only went for 2 treatments so far and almost all of the pain is gone! I can move and stretch and twist with minimal or no pain. The best part is there was no smelly herbs or hot cups or needles involved! I am terribly scared of needles. All the sinseh did was just to move his hands over my spine, stopping at certain points to apply pressure. I think he used magic!

Unhappily depressed

2009-07-17T17:12:00.005+08:00

I really do try. I do. Every morning, I wake up with the thought 'It's going to be a great day!', but by noon that particular thought has totally dissipated. Collapsed like a house of cards if you will.
And every thing else in the day goes completely downhill.

It is not as if I am unfamiliar with the concept of 'unhappiness', I used to be happily depressed. Yes, you heard me correctly, happily depressed. There is such a thing as happily depressed. But the key words here are 'used to'.

I also used to live by the advocate that happiness is in one's own hands, literally. You know, you control your own fate, your destiny, ya-da, ya-da.... NOT anymore! That has more or less been flushed down the toilet bowl, if you catch the drift. I really do not know why people around me just have to aggravate me. Do I have the sticker 'sucker' or 'piss me' pasted on my forehead?? Sometimes I really start to wonder.

I have not felt a spark of happiness for maybe the past 2 - 3 weeks. And to top it all off, I almost burnt down the house on Thursday night. I left the stove on while I went to bed. By the time it was discovered at 6 am, the whole pot was charred and the whole house stank!

I think I am the epitome of bad luck.

Been in a lousy mood for the past 2 weeks. But if someone gave me this, I will definitely feel better, if only for a while. Presenting, Gucci's latest fall winter collection.

I'll go with Darkness!

2009-07-05T01:18:00.003+08:00

I'm back! Okie, okie, quit complaining. I was just catching up on some reading. 'What reading?' you ask? A series of Russian science-fiction, fantasy books written by Sergey Lukyanenko. Ha! Of course not! I dun know Russian (spoken or written). I do books in English. Hahaahaa..

There are 4 books in the Watches series; Night Watch, Day Watch, Twilight Watch and Last Watch. What are they about you ask? Go Google, Wiki or Yahoo! yourself, dun be laaaazy! Hahaha. Okie, I'll be nice and give you a gist of it. It's basically about a group of people that exists in the world called Others. They are able to draw and control magical powers for the cause of good and evil. There is also a dimension that exists called Twilight where the Others can enter. I'm not going to say more. But trust me, the books are really cool! I haven't been so enthralled by a writer since probably Tolkien or Rowling (though the last 2 books were getting a tad bit draggy).

I was reading the first 3 books and now sorely missing the last one. The English version was supposed to be released early this year but I seriously doubt the libraries have it. I'll marry the first guy who presents me with The Last Watch! Nah, just kidding. You will need a 1 carat diamond ring at least. Hahahaha...

So now that you know what I had been busy with, WHAT have you been busy with? :)

In other news, an angel and a king died on the same day, June 25th 2009, too much of a coincidence?

Bike parking by idiots!

2009-06-16T23:23:00.003+08:00

I saw this today and realise that I am surrounded by idiots! Stupidity just gets on my nerves.... grrrr....

Eh, wat??!

2009-06-10T01:26:00.006+08:00

I saw this prominently displayed at Watson's some time ago. AND, I just had to take a picture of it! Yeah, I am really this 'boh liao'.

If you happen to see a gal taking weird pictures in stores, it just might be me. I love doing that. :)

On a totally unrelated note, here are some pussies.... HAHAHA!

The void

2009-05-25T02:06:00.005+08:00

You know how it is when the feelings come in waves, surging, relentless, pounding again and again. Disappointment, resentment, indignation, discontentment, embitterment, frustration, anger, fury.

Then it comes to a point when you are so tired of it all.
When the only thing you want to do is to escape from all of it.
"Run." They whispered.
"Leave." They called softly.
"Fly!" They urged.
You close your eyes and hear them.
You imagine them welcoming you with open arms.
All you want to do is to give in to their temptations.
Tantalizing, beautiful, seductive things.

All you want is to feel nothing. Even if it means giving up feeling happy.

It's my birthday!

2009-05-18T01:01:00.001+08:00

Yeah, that's right. :)

The photographer

2009-05-15T23:26:00.002+08:00

From behind my lens, I noticed your pursed lips.
From behind my lens, I caught the twinkle in your eyes.
From behind my lens, I saw your coy smile.
From behind my lens, I watched your every nuance.
But not once did you regard me, from behind my lens.

Footnote: Actually I had this written a long time ago but it was just sitting in my word document. :P

2009-05-07T01:36:00.007+08:00

In other news, my birthday is just around the corner. Not that I am stressing about it. Nah, I don't feel a thing about getting older (unlike some women). I'm cynical, to me it's just a step closer towards death. Bleh. Talk about HAPPY birthdays. Haha.

And oh I can't even find a nice new Gucci bag to buy so I guess I have to settle for this.

Gucci's newest perfume. Present anyone? :)

Coach launched their newest range of bags and I just love this new one! But I have too many gold bags so I had to force myself to give this a miss... 'Sad' just doesn't even cut it!

Wrong number

2009-04-10T23:35:00.003+08:00

I wanted to make a call to a friend today but I dialled the wrong number. Yes, I am one of those few endangered ones who still key in the phone number manually if it's a number that I deem important enough for me to remember (meaning: good friend). Hey, cut me a break, I have not called her in ages so I keyed one of the numbers wrongly.

Luckily, I realised my mistake after the third ring (friend's name did not show up on the handphone). So I ended the called before the other party had a chance to pick up. You know how it's like, u get a missed call from a strange number and then u call back only to have the other party say "Sorry ah, wrong number leh." Irritating right?

So being the kind soul that I am, I sent an sms to the 'wrong number' with the following message: "Sorry, I called the wrong number. :)", thinking that after seeing the sms, the other party would not have to call back.

Boy, was I wrong. Two minutes later, I got a call from 'wrong number'. Immediately, my first thought was to press the 'reject' button but I realised that it would be quite rude. So, I did the inevitable, I answered the call.

Wrong number: "Hello, who's that?"

Me: "Sorry, I pressed the wrong number just now."

Wrong number did not give up, continues with line of questioning.

Wrong number: "Who's that please?"

Me: "I called wrongly just now. Sorry"

Wrong number: "Who are u?"

Relentless.

Me: "Wrong number lar!"

Wrong number: "Oh."

'Wrong number' must have thought I was some mysterious gal trying to play a prank on him. Oh, did I forgot to mention 'wrong number' was a cute (sounding) guy? :)

Darn!

2009-04-07T02:08:00.001+08:00

Something bad happened today (okie, technically yesterday). Sigh. Seriously not happy right now. :(

Another atypical conversation

2009-03-15T16:00:00.005+08:00

Was out having my said lunch with Friend on Friday and below was what transpired between the two of us. Friend was having some financial concerns, with the downturn and all the uncertainity, so i offered a suggestion (as usual).

Me: Go sell backside! I be your mamasan!

Me: I am very cheap, i charge only 20% commission!

Friend opens her eyes wide and gasped.

Fren: Wat??! I am the one doing all the work and u take 20% for nothing???

Me: Wat for NOTHING?? I get u clients okie! Not an easy job, okie. And i dun find u those cheapo clients, i find u those willing to pay alot.

Fren: Oh that's true. U got direct benefits.

Me: Ahbeden?? U think i so stupid? Find 1 client 1k versus find 10 $100 ones. Of cos take the 1k one rite?? Waste my time isit?! Save time can make more money rite?

Fren: WHO IN THE HELL WANS TO PAY 1K FOR A FUCK??!? Probably some loser who is extremely fat and ugly and can't find any gal to sleep with! Like a certain Mr Lim (I can't say who here cos i dun wanna kanna sued!).

Me: Aiyah, nevermind then. Just put paper bag over his face! The draw '$1000' on the paper bag! Hahahahaa...

Fren: I think i rather put paper bag over my own face cos cover his face still can see the body!

And she proceeds to stick out her tongue in disgust.

Me: Wat if i can find u one who is not fat and ugly but very handsome?

Fren: Then he's probably a psycho who will tie you up, whip and torture you! U mean u dun mind?

Me: I rather take the fat one over the psycho any day.

A typical conversation (or did i mean an ATYPICAL coversation)

2009-03-14T22:54:00.005+08:00

Last week, I was having an sms conversation with a friend and went like this:

Me: It's confirmed, i can finally meet u on fri for lunch! :)

Fren: Yippy! It's been a long time..... :(

Me: Yah. Yesterday i was just thinking it's been almost 4 mths since we met up. It's the longest we haven't seen each other rite? :(

Fren: U made it sound like we're lovers! *kiss*

Me: Haha! We are! *smooch*

Fren: OMG!!! :P

Me: Emotional lovers lar. I think we understand each other better than guys do us. Just that we can't have sex with each other! Haha! Haha!

Fren: Gross! But i have to agree with u. :/

You probably gathered by now that 'friend' is a female. :P

A perfect world

2009-02-22T00:22:00.000+08:00

In a perfect world, we can do whatever we desire
There would be no responsibilities

In a perfect world, we can go wherever we yearn
There would be no boundaries

In a perfect world, we can say whatever we feel
There would be no repercussions

In a perfect world, we can think however we want
There would be no worries

In a perfect world, it will just be you and me
There would be no distractions

Waiting

2009-02-18T23:07:00.004+08:00

“Make it two, and quick,” he muttered. And under his breath, he added without conviction, “She’ll be here in a minute.”

Not that the bartender cared, really. His concern was to tend to the drinks, not the emotions.

He shifted again on the stool, watching the droplets form on the glass as the ice melted.

The seconds passed and so did the minutes. People came and people went. Still she did not arrive. Still he waited. And waited.

Death is not escapism, death is the only solution.

2009-02-13T22:17:00.004+08:00

"All these pain will only make you stronger," he promised.

Little did he know 'pain' was no longer on her mind, at least not now, 'death' was.

A Thousand Ways

2009-02-12T22:12:00.004+08:00

A deliberate slit, a crimson river.
A soaring phoenix, a single purpose.
A hundred candies, a stifled laughter.
A smokey dancefloor, a dreamless slumber.
A thousand ways to reach one end.

Twittering

2009-01-13T00:55:00.004+08:00

As you probably noticed by now, i haven't been posting much... On the other hand though, i have been twittering quite often. I only have inspiration for one-liners. You can't really blog based on one-liner inspirations, can you? Wait a minute, i suppose you can, but you would probably irritate your readers to hell. Haha.

I took this picture some time ago and really wanted to post it.. But just been too lazy. :P It's a store called 'The Remote Control House' (in a shopping mall!) and it sells nothing but remote controls! Gosh, i mean.. SERIOUSLY! The question remains. How many remotes must they sell each day to break even?! Haha.

It's Christmas!

2008-12-25T01:38:00.002+08:00

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!

Itchy hands

2008-12-08T00:54:00.008+08:00

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

What?? What?? Cum (pun intended) again?

2008-12-01T00:47:00.004+08:00

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.

Are you sure??!

2008-11-26T00:57:00.003+08:00

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!

Flour, sugar and eggs

2008-11-23T00:05:00.010+08:00

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

When i first set eyes on ur brillance

Too pretty to hold

Too expensive to buy

Now my heart is sunken

I'm not cheap! I knew that long ago.

2008-11-18T01:30:00.002+08:00

Your result for What's Your Price?...

I'm worth $939 million! (18 dealbreakers.)

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.

The Ancient

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 shop, therefore, I am.

2008-10-30T01:24:00.005+08:00

Went out today to run some errands and grab some groceries but who knows.... i got waylaid. By who? It's more like what. By bling bling shops, that's what. So instead of groceries, i got myself a nice bracelet. If u see someone wearing the bracelet below, it just might be me. :)

Now, if only i had a date to wear it out to. Hmmm...

My passion

2008-10-25T03:22:00.004+08:00

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!

Brainless body or bodiless brain?

2008-10-08T01:26:00.003+08:00

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!

Silent Stillness

2008-09-29T02:16:00.002+08:00

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.

Little lies...

2008-09-18T22:55:00.004+08:00

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

Here, kitty kitty kitty....

2008-09-16T01:26:00.006+08:00

Saw this at La Senza when i was out shopping this afternoon! Oooooooh! I like! :)

In case u can't make it out.. the prints are black kitty cats, it's pink and the undies are garter style! Gosh, i sooooo wanna have it! :)

Too bad, i am extremely, extremely broke now... Would any kind soul like to sponsor my lingerie fund (i think it's only $65 for the bra and $35 for the undies)? Hahhahahaha.

P.S. Fashion parade not inclusive. :P

Ouch!

2008-08-30T01:14:00.003+08:00

Okie, this is wat u get when an umbrella falls point down right smack onto the middle of your unsuspecting feet. Yeah, it's an ugly bruise. It hurts more than u think it does! :(

And yeah, i realised it's time to redo my pedicure. :P

Another bad day...

2008-08-27T01:46:00.004+08:00

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.... :(

The daydreamer?

I just took this online test... and my results are as below.

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

Sheep counting

2008-08-17T02:04:00.003+08:00

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! :)

Dumb silly me!

2008-08-10T02:18:00.010+08:00

Geee! I must be getting crazy or just plain dumber! The other day someone offered to buy me a new bag (while i was out shopping)... a gucci at that... and i... i.... i... actually refused the offer! Yeah. Me. Bag gal (okie, make that shoes gal, clothes gal, perfume gal, cosmetic gal, everything gal too. :P). Oh no, there must be something seriously wrong with my brains and logic that day. I sms-ed my galfren that nite to tell her wat had happened in the day. Below was the gist of the exchange.

Me says: someone wanted to buy me a new gucci bag but i din wan

Galfren says: why??!

Me says: cos i wan a black bag, the bag is not black

Galfren says: u dun wan it can still buy and give it to ME!

Ooops. My bad. Hahaahaa... This is the said bag in question.

But i wan a nice, classic, black bag! Probably something like this?

Ooooooh, look they have it in python skin! LOVELY! Guess it costs a bomb too.

Maybe i will end up with this...

A month ago

2008-07-23T16:35:00.002+08:00

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.

Shoes, glorious shoes! Anyone who buys me a pair of these beauties, i will gladly go dancing with him! :)

Go-getter me!

2008-06-21T02:17:00.003+08:00

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.

Why do heads pound?

2008-06-20T01:03:00.002+08:00

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.

Eh, come again?

2008-06-14T01:52:00.006+08:00

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

So far so good...

2008-06-11T00:05:00.003+08:00

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!

Ben & Jerry's anyone?

Nostalgia

2008-05-26T02:24:00.003+08:00

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...

2008-05-22T02:02:00.003+08:00

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.....

It's my day!

2008-05-18T00:50:00.002+08:00

Yippee! Or maybe... Yikes! Depending on how u look at it. (Both begins with 'Y' anyways.) Yup, it's my birthday today.

Anyone lost a pair of shoes?

2008-05-14T02:15:00.004+08:00

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

Anyone one of the above will do... need i mention my birthday's coming? :)

Who turned off the airconditioning?!

2008-04-29T00:48:00.005+08:00

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:
Fren says: how are u?
Me says: HOT!
Fren says: yeah....
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

Please, oh please, dun let me walk past any lingerie shops.... argh!

Is it true?

2008-04-23T22:46:00.003+08:00

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....

Not amused.

2008-04-21T00:46:00.004+08:00

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. :(

Painting

2008-04-13T02:03:00.004+08:00

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? :)

i need...

2008-03-30T01:43:00.003+08:00

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!

Missing and Forgetting

2008-03-28T01:27:00.004+08:00

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.

Excuses 'real' men give themselves

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.....

I feel good.. nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.. I know that I should..

2008-03-08T01:37:00.003+08:00

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?

And counting...

2008-02-24T23:52:00.004+08:00

I just did a stock check on the amount of lingerie i owned. And realised with a mixture of amazement (when did they get this many?!?!) and a little disgust (how did i end up spending so much on them?!?!) that i could wear one new undies every day and it would take me more than 1 month before i got back to the first one! Talk about A LOT! Hahahaa...

Sitting in the drawer were over 20 pairs of lace bikinis, boyshorts, thongs and g-strings! That's not including those comfortable cotton briefs that one wants to wear on any plain, old day. For the uninitiated who are lost in lingerie jargon, please refer to Victoria's Secret for a comprehensive show-and-tell. NO! Of cos not! I am not going to pose in my undies for u! Watever gave u THAT idea? Duhz.....

And we have not even got to the bras and sleepwear yet! At last count, i have around 20 bras and 20 slips/babydolls. Now, i could do a fashion parade and it could last all night! Wahahaa...

I think i should be banned from any lingerie shopping, at least for the time being! Wat? U thought i was going to say 'forever'? Ha! Right. :P

Not well

2008-02-17T01:29:00.004+08:00

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!

Sex scandals

2008-02-01T02:54:00.000+08:00

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....

2 hours later

2008-01-20T00:36:00.000+08:00

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. :)

Excitement!

2008-01-17T02:18:00.000+08:00

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...

Guess who called?

2008-01-09T00:45:00.000+08:00

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. :)
Cold, wet, rainy night... makes u just wanna cuddle up nice and warm under the covers.

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!)

Ooooooo.... Aaaaaaaah..... Waaaaaaaaah....

I absolutely adore this Gucci bag.. it's made of python skin and has this incredible sheen of gold... Oh yah, i love all things gold. Hehe...

Super Duper Argh!

2007-11-25T02:07:00.000+08:00

Great! My handphone has decided (without my consent, obviously) to take a leave of absence.... By that, i mean spoil, die, kaput... or watever else u might call it. I can't get the bloody thing to power on again... However, watever, whichever way i tried.. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! At first, i thought the battery was dead so i went to plug it into the charger.. nothing happened. Then i dismantled everything and tried again... nothing happened. Finally, i thought my SIM card was faulty, so i went to change to another SIM, nothing happened. So i concluded. My stewpid handphone is officially DIED!!!!

But that's not the best part.... So, i thought, better check the SIM card too. I plug it into a working phone and hey, presto, guess wat it said. "Insert SIM card". Wonderful. Brilliant. Fantastic. Super duper i-wanna-kill-myself-now.

And so now, i am uncontactable. And to top it all off... i lost all my contacts (for the moment, until i crawl to Hello! to get a replacement SIM and provided they can still retrieve my contacts from my old SIM). I can only remember a few frens' numbers in the deep recesses of my puny brain. So if u dun hear from me or i dun reply to ur smses, it's not my fault!

I need a new handphone... On that note, i need a new 'everything!' :(

Why do u have to fucking make me fucking angry every fucking day?

2007-11-12T01:39:00.000+08:00

My patience is wearing thin.... nuff said.

I need a hobby!

2007-10-29T01:20:00.001+08:00

I noticed that i have been blogging mostly on weekends. Gosh! I seriously have no life watsoever. Or i have no frens watsoever. Either way, it's so extremely pathetic! No... i am not asking you to sympathise me. Nah, i dun need that. I prefer more constructive solutions, know wat i mean? Like suggesting wat i could do to entertain myself (hey! not that kind of entertainment.. tsk tsk..) I was thinking of taking up cross-stitching or knitting or doing jigsaw puzzles. God! Now i sound like some wrinkley old woman sitting in her rocking chair typing her blog.... Eeeeeeks! Wait a minute... old people dun blog (okie, i know i am old, i mean seriously old people), unless u count Lao Zha Bor (erm, i am not endorsing her here, i actually think she is, for lack of a better word, gross, but that's another topic for another day).

Or maybe baking? I used to be able to make some very mean alcoholic brownies. Well, there's only 2 problems now. First, i dun have a decent oven to bake with. The last time i wanted to use my idiotic toaster oven to heat up a muffin, the poor thing burst into flames. No, not the toaster, duhz, the muffin! Literally a flaming muffin.... I would love to show you a pic of it, but i was too busy trying to put out the mini fire than to actually take a pic. Second, who's going to finish all the wonderful, delicious, sinful goodies i created? I am not going to eat them all and get fatter (notice i said fatter, not fat, cos i already am!).

Wat???! You think you are so smart and can do better? Okie, then come on, give me a suggestion for a hobby... Something that i could easily do at home alone. No dressing up, no trying to get hold of any frens. No? Pffff.... See... it's not that easy is it? Well. If all else fails, you could always date me! Hahahahahaa.....

The month of October

2007-10-15T01:24:00.000+08:00

Not a word was written since the first. I wonder why.
No doubt i am still very much alive. I wonder why.
Suddenly it all seems so pointless. I wonder why.
Not that anyone really cares. I wonder why.
I came and i typed. I wonder why.
This very mindless chatter. I wonder why.

You cursed silently as time filtered away. I wonder why.
The five minutes spent, never to return. I wonder why.
Uncertain why you passed here. I wonder why.
And now i digress. I wonder why.
Half the month has passed. I wonder why.
The month of October. I wonder why.

I want a job

2007-09-25T01:08:00.000+08:00

Yeah, u read it rite... I want, not need, a job. Why? Am i exceedingly rich that i dun need to have a steady income coming in? Maybe. Hahaha.... IN MY DREAMS! And probably in yours too. Duhz... even if i was flithy rich, u wouldn't be allowed to live off this rich fren. :P

So i want a job. Something creative but with boundaries (so i wouldn't run amok with my many wild, funny ideas). Something exciting but not heart stopping (i still want to live to see a few more years). Something fun but not too much fun (i still want to actually go home, u know?). Finally, something that allows me to be myself ultimately. But i guess no such job exists in the world, rite? Even if there is such a job (which i seriously doubt in my puny, little mind), it will surely be filled by someone else now!

2007-09-15T01:13:00.000+08:00

I am so whimsical. I found something else to buy. Haha. Tiffany & Co.'s Charm Bracelet The only problem.. i can't decide whether to get them in silver or gold?!??!?! And of cos, there are the numerous charms to choose from. Hehe. I have this nostalgic idea to collect meaningful charms and pass them on to my daughter one day in the future. :)

Or maybe it's just another excuse to buy something. Haha!

I am going to Tiffany!!!

Burn Baby Burn

2007-09-14T01:51:00.000+08:00

Finally, the Chinese 7th month is over... No, dun get me wrong. I have nothing against other people's religions and beliefs. Neither do i have anthing against ghosts and spirits. On that topic, i personally dun believe that they (being ghosts and spirits) only get 'released' from hell for holidays only 1 month each year. I believe that they are always around us (do i hear someone say 'i see dead people'?? Haha!). Not that i had the 'good' fortune of actually meeting any of them (eeeeks! Touch wood!). Still on that topic, let me relate to u some true ghost stories, singaporean style...

No, they din happen to me.. it's from a fren of a fren of a fren...
Story no 1 :
This particular person was in the wilderness somewhere in singapore (eh, dun ask me wat the person was doing there?? How would i know??). He woke up in the middle of the nite and saw, out of the corner of his eyes, 3 figures hanging from a tree. Of cos, they were wat they were, ghosts! Who in their rite mind will hang from a tree in the middle of the nite in the freaking wilderness?? So anyways, he was quite used to it, as supposedly he had the power to 'see' stuff. He wasn't quite bothered about them but for the kick of it, he woke his frens up and told them to look at THE tree. His frens were all like &!%#!%#!#@^!^$@@$%!%. :P

*eh.. u all must appreciate this blog man.... i am getting chills as i am typing this in the middle of the nite...*

Story no 2:
Then there was this singing ghost story. Also true Singaporean style, it happened in the army camp. This guy encountered a female singing ghost every time he went to the toilet to do his business. It wasn't that he minded the singing, but it was kinda distracting (so he said). So finally one day he shouted out 'Hey, stop singing! U are disturbing me!' Garang (translation: brave) rite?

Well, back to the 7th month. Yeah, i dun like it cos of all the burning. Nah. I am not one of those frenzy pro-green tree hugging sorts (though i DO do my little part to recycle and reuse). I just dun like all the smoke and soot, that's all. Which there are lots happening in the 7 month. So u know wat brilliant idea i came up with the other day?? E-burning! Yup, u heard me rite, e-burning. Hey, we have e-transfer, e-shopping and e-banking, so why not e-burning? We do burn paper stuff like pcs, laptops, mp3 players and pdas for our dead love ones. So why can't we do e-burning?? So how actually does this e-burning thing work? First, i will register a business and set up a website. It will offer all sorts of stuff (just like the real paper stuff that we burn). Depending on the items 'purchased', a fee will be charged, of cos (i will be rich!! So freaking rich!!). Then, all u need to do is to click on (which of cos will be a picture of a furnace! haha!). Then, a great big burst of flames will e-burn ur items to whoever u designate it to. No need to go downstairs in and fight with others for a spot to burn ur offerings. No need to stand there in the heat and smoke while doing ur burning. Everything is done in the comfort of ur home in ur comfy little chair soaking air-con. No smoke, no global warming, no wastage of resources (ie, paper and wood). All the environmentalists support me now! Say huraaaaay! Hahahahaha.... See, i am smart rite?! I feel soooo proud of myself.

It's time the King of Hades got some hardware and skills upgrading. :P

MIA

2007-09-10T01:43:00.000+08:00

Ah... i was missing. Now i am found. Nah. I was just too lazy to blog, plus some other stuff that affected my mood (will talk about it later on), but now i am here, back old back old.

So why wasn't i blogging?
1. I was too busy chasing crappy Hong Kong serials to want to log on to blog or even chat! Yeah, u heard me rite. So which was the show that got me hooked? The Dance of Passion. So u ask, have i finished the show since i am sitting here typing furiously? Eh. Nope. But i decided to come blog cos i din want anyone (not that anyone will really care) to think i have died and gone to heaven (nah, probably not heaven, more likely hell), got alien-napped by aliens (who else will alien-nap humans?) or maybe fell into the toilet bowl and couldn't crawl out. Ha!

2. I din feel like switching on the pc. Specifically, i din feel like turning on my msn. Why? Cos, someone asked my opinion on something and i gave an unsatisfactory answer (well, at least to that person, it was unsatisfactory) that upset the said person. Not that i find there was anything wrong with the answer i gave, the person probably mis-interpretated it. For the record, i always stand by my frens, i may not agree with what they are doing but that doesn't mean i judge them or their actions. And even thought sometimes, i dun agree with them, i will still stand by their decisions. I also see no point in faulting them if they made 'mistakes' (who are we to say what's right and what's wrong anyway?), but rather, i prefer to help them (if they need it) find the best course of action going forward. Isn't that what frens are for?

Actually, i did have some stuff that i wanted to blog about for the past few weeks. So here's the backlog. Yah, i know i am so passe. These are so over-and-done-with BUT i still wanna blog about them, can? Who's gonna complain, eh? Haha.

First, was the total Lunar eclipse, that happened on 26th Aug, that i so wanted to see, but sadly, it was not to be in Singapore. Here are the pics from NASA itself. http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/watchtheskies/eclipse_images.html

Second, there was this report on 24th Aug that astronomers have found a vast area of nothingness in space. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6962185.stm
What intrigues me is how do u define NOTHING in space??? How do they actually know there is nothing there?? I mean isn't space just cosmic blackness? So if they scan the skies and discover a patch of darkness, they just assume nothing there? Ah well, guess that's why i am not in NASA. :P

The Lost Room

2007-08-24T01:27:00.000+08:00

I discovered a very cool show last Sunday on StarWorld. Sorry, i know, it's already Friday now. I just din manage to get down to blogging about it. It's too cool to just any old how write, write (as we say it here). Haha.. So i am dedicating this time now to sit and blog about it.

The Lost Room is a scifi show about time travel, alternate dimensions, supernatural powers and morality, all mixed together (that's how i see it anyway). How cool is that??? Okie, i know i said 'cool' like a zillion times. I really dig those time travel, alternate universe crap. Haha. :P

U can read the synopsis at the link above. Wat i really like are the Objects that possess "unique and inexplicable properties". So which items would i want? Of cos, the Key is good to get to places, first place that came to mind is the wonderful Bvlgari Resort. The Glass Eye to repair my skin to baby soft condition. Haha.. yeah, i am vain. The Bus Ticket to zap every irritating thing i know to the ends of the earth. Okie, granted it's not really the end of the earth but just somewhere in New Mexico, which as far as i know is the middle of nowhere. Then i would like the Knife and Wristwatch too, so that i know when anyone is thinking bad about me. Finally, the Pencil is great too, though, if i had that, i probably would be spending most of the time tapping it cos it only produces a penny each time, why not thousand dollar notes??! Grrrr....

I thought Heroes was one of the more interesting shows i have seen recently. But this one rocks! Intriguing script and great acting! Can't wait to finish the series! :)

i fear nothing... rite!

2007-08-23T23:45:00.000+08:00

I was going to take my bath just now when i got waylaid by a cockroach! Yeah, u heard me rite. A disgusting, horrible, repulsive cockroach. The only thing on earth i fear more than fear itself... roaches... I think they are really dumb. They are the only creatures that run TOWARDS u when u are busy running away from them to avoid them. Idiotic, rite?

So anyway, i was in the living room and from the corner of my eye, i saw something zip past under the coffee table in the hall. I took a closer look and just as i suspected, EEEEEEEKS, a cockroach! I panicked. There was no one else in the house. Who can i ask to terminate the nasty thing?? So i ran off to the kitchen to grab the bottle of insecticide. Came back armed with fire power. Took an aim and sprayed as much as i could. Okie, for ur information, i was like 3 metres away. That's as close as i possibly dared to go. Bad idea! She (how did i know it was a she? I found out later. No, not by disecting it, u silly thing!) went nuts. Run around like a fanatical thing with pants on fire, then she FLEW (that's how i knew it was a female, only females fly)!!! AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! The only thing i fear more than roaches, flying roaches! I hopped back as far as i could, still spraying insecticide like mad. Then, it crawled under the shoe cabinet and i couldn't see where it went. So i proceeded to empty half the bottle of insecticide at the cabinet. To cut a long story short. It die-ed, after much chasing and spraying. Else, i wouldn't be able to sleep in peace tonight. It's lying on the floor at the corner somewhere, i wouldn't pick it up, thank you. Someone else has to do that dirty job! Haha!

This incident reminded me of another roach misadventure. I was in secondary school then, wat was i? 14 or 15? All my frens knew i feared roaches. No big secret there. Well, the day went on as usual, after classes, we went to the hawker centre to have our lunch. Hey, we were all poor students then, some poorer than others. Haha.. So we ordered our food and were happily chomping it down when, no.. dun worry, we did not discover a roach in our food. That's gross but this was worse. A stupid cockroach ran under our feet! Immediately, i jumped up and screamed (very loudly, mind u). Okie, the hawker centre was full of people and they (mostly old uncles) turned to stare at me (who by that particular moment has already hopped more than 5 metres away). So, imagine this, i was seated on those stuck-to-the-ground kind of stools. I screamed, grabbed my school bag (it was on my lap wat), jumped backwards and over the silly stool, away from the cockroach, with amazing dexterity and speed, while managing not to trip myself. It was like doing the Olympics. The stunned uncles then gave me weird, grinning looks when they realised i was frightened of a tiny cockroach. All this time, my frens were looking at me with mouths opened. Then, they proceeded to laugh their heads off. See, wat good frens i had even then. My frens always said i am a roach magnet, they are naturally attached to me. I only have one thing to say, duhz!

Wat purpose do roaches serve on earth anyway? I can think of NONE! Irritating, spasticated things... DIE! DIE!

This is seriously lame...

2007-08-22T02:02:00.000+08:00

Trust me... this one is really, really, really, seriously lame. Okie, dun ask me how come i discovered it.. i just did..

Anyway, click at your own risk.. dun say i din warn u. :P

Changes

2007-08-17T01:16:00.000+08:00

Yeah, i made some changes... Wat can i say? I am easily bored.

It is so extreme that i used to re-arrange the furniture in my room after every few months just to get some new perspective. And i am not talking about just shuffling the books on the bookshelves. I mean a total make-over... for the room, save for buying new furniture that is.

My brothers tot i was mad (which i might very well be). But they got used to it after a few times. They had to, they were staying in the same house. Haha.

Well, my blog is my new playground now. :)

I wait in vain..

2007-08-14T02:20:00.000+08:00

Yes, i do. In vain i wait.
Why? U will never know.
Why? I will never tell.
So, in vain i wait. Yes, i do.

I found Bliss today

2007-08-11T01:36:00.000+08:00

Yes, i found her.. Bliss.

Today was a good day. Okie, make it yesterday. I went shopping and came back with 1 wallet, 1 bag and 1 watch. The damage? 5K in 4 hrs. Whoever said money can't buy happiness, seriously din know where to shop. :P

I adore my new Frederique Constant watch. It's supposed to be the only 1 piece in Singapore. Mine is in rose-gold and the satin strap is dark brown. Can't find a pic of it (the one at the website is black). It's automatic though, so i have to wind it everyday. Duhz! If u happen to be looking for a watch or feel like burning some cash or just feeling bored, u can whisk by Bezel at Wheelock Place level 2.

This is as close as i can get to heaven....

Object of desire - item 2,754

2007-08-08T02:45:00.000+08:00

OH MY GOD! I found MY happy place!
This has to be it, Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts Bali ..... To see wat i mean, click on 'visit' when u are at the link. Look at the pics... dun u think it's absolutely gorgeous? I need to be there for 1 whole month, then everything will be A OK. :)

Now, i wonder... just who will be taking me there?

It's been bad

2007-08-07T02:30:00.000+08:00

No, put it this way.... it's been fucking bad. :(

Very Extremely Fucking
Music blasting
Lyrics swirling
It's been bad
Yes, very bad

People staring
Voices screaming
It's been bad
Yes, extremely bad

Head spinning
Tears falling
It's been bad
Yes, fucking bad

Raging, wrathing, ranting
Plunging into the depths of desolation
Wretched gal don't despair
Someday u will be delivered unto salvation
