Wat the ??!?!?!

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

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.

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

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.

Object of desire - item 5,715

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!

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!

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