A new CSI maniac...

Thursday 31st March 2005
Swear word of the week : ji dan tou……….

It’s the last day of the month and the next month seems to have more exciting events in store for me… this month has been rather boring.. for some reason. Well, lets see, in the month of april, here are the events to look forward to :

2 April Sat : 2005 Graduating batch of IAD diploma show [possibly having monopoly slam after that but I have been too lazy to organize… :D]

9 April Sat : BUTS – Ballet Under the Stars with Bunny… who said that she and lover boy’s entire view was blocked out by a group of over enthusiastic bunch of horny gays sitting in front of them at the previous BUTS they went to. Hopefully this year our view will not be blocked…

17 April Sun : Boeing Boeing with bunny and chinki… Had a super lor soh arrangement for this play we planned to watch… with someone changing her mind a FEW times…. Lol.

22 April Friday : Mascara Woman’s birthday. [not very exciting I know but I have to get her a present lar… cause she got me a che-che bag for my birthday…]

23 April Saturday : Baby brother’s birthday… finally turning 15 years of age?? Goodness… so young… hahaha.. At this age I was mad about Take That…. Who???!!??

Have not been sleeping well for the past few days for some reason.. will be feeling really tired before going to sleep, but the moment I lie down on my bed, I just can’t sleep. Will end up taking very long to fall back to sleep and eventually will wake up a few times in the middle of the night!! And on top of that, I will be having dreams!! Really stupid dreams at that too…. AAArrggghhh…. I just want to be able to sleep peacefully through the night le…

Wednesday 30th march
Met Miffy for dinner yesterday at Taka cause she wants to use her vouchers but sadly could not find a suitable bag to buy…

Waited for her till about 8pm and by then I was starving… actually I bought some takopachi and sat at the taka atrium and watched music videos.. just like in secondary school… LOL!!! Sat through Jennifer Love Hewitt and Aaron Carter’s music videos… then I stoned till she appeared…. Refused to let me pay for dinner and I spent quite a long time bitching to her! Actually she also wanted to bitch but she qi siao already, so her bitching was not as intense… hahaha

Went scouting all round the entire bag section of Takashimaya to look for a bag. Saw one really expensive Guess handbag though… which I thought was not bad, but it retails for $198!! So bloody expensive. Some more don’t even think that it was made of real leather. Eee…. There was a cute Braun Buffel bag that both of us agreeded on but not the price… even if she uses the vouchers, she will still have to top up about $100++!! Waaa…. Craziness man..

Hmm… still considering whether I should get the wallet on sale… hmmm… decisions decisions decisions….

Oh!! And miffy had a SUPER embarrassing moment when we were walking through the shoe section in Taka… I was telling her about someone who self praises herself and sincerely thinks she is really pretty… then Miffy was asking me how she says it by role playing it. So she curls the ends of her hair sweetly and asks loudly, “Wo hen Mei hor?” [I’m very pretty hor??] then she saw this woman who gave her a really REALLY weird look that said “Wah! Some people very thick skinned hor??!” I had a laughing fit after that and Miffy was peeved that I couldn’t stop laughing at her…

Amazing race was soooooo scary towards the end when the brothers were racing against the irritating couple to the finishing line…. I was jumping up and down my sofa and screaming at my brother… “Will they make it, Aylwin??!! Oh my gooooodddd!!!” hhaahahaha… its been such a long time since I have done that… for a TV show anyway…

Tuesday 29 March 2005
Went for an old friend’s father’s wake at Punggol and had to pry the car away from my mother’s hands first. As usual I had to get lost as I made the crucial wrong turning [I turned left instead of right] and we ended up somewhere in hougang near my old school!! So had to U-turn in a carpark and check the lousy street directory… Chinki was really tired and hardly knew where we were going and doing… But she bought a card for our friend! Which bunny and I didn’t think of doing… The dark road in to 17th Ave was super dark and scary… luckily we managed to get there but overall it took about 45 mins drive [+ getting lost lar…]

It has been like… maybe close to 5 years that I have not seen Soo [old friend] and it was very sad to see her that day. Although I didn’t know her father as well as Bunny and Chinki, I felt really sad when we were looking over his body and she commented about the days when he used to stand by the pool watching them swim. And Soo has definitely matured quite a bit over the years and its so funny to hear that she is a teacher now!! Which is a profession I never ever saw her taking up.. She said it was like… retribution man… And she wonders what Mrs Yogeeswaran [sec3 &4 form teacher] will think of her now… I just wonder if people mature when they realize they are going to lose a loved one or when some tragedy happens to them…. And of course it helps when her new boyfriend seems 10x better than any of her previous ones… So there is still hope in this world!!

Bitched a little about who is with who and doing what… especially about this particular girl in our school who practically lies about everything under the sun… and the moon. She lies about having a dog called Marbles and Chinki and gang devised ways to bao tou her but she still will not admit!! My god.. some people are just beyond help. Apparently she flew back to Singapore JUST before she was about to graduate in Australia…. For a guy. Geeeezzz..

This really tall guy came to our table and was talking to Soo for a while before pointing to Chinki and saw something like… “I see you everywhere.” Or “I see you like…. Everyday!” then walks off when there was a short silence. Both bunny and I were confused and later in the car, Bunny turns to Chinki behind and said “I think that guy was trying to pick you up just now Chinki!! The one who said he sees you everywhere!” What is this world coming to. Trying to pick someone up at a FUNERAL?? Lol.. it can only happen to Chinki. Wait till I write about the Mos burger incident… wahahaha…

Drove Bunny to a Far far away land after that and she got Fake BaBa [drew] to bring his stupid dog [drix] down….. he was so adorable… though he was super horny. As usual. And I didn’t know silky terriers were so small……….. maybe I have been comparing him to the wrong dogs like Bulky and Monkey… hmmm…

Oh ya!! And I got conned into eating BK at far east plaza that day…. Hmm… you know who you are!!! I wanted to topple the salad on top of him when I found out the truth!! : DDDDD

boring good friday

It’s a Good Friday holiday and here I am stuck at home with no activity planned… so no life!! Hahaha.. anyway, went for the Nike event at Zouk last night with The Longan Gang with Chinki!! Who called me last minute to tell me that she was free so I dragged her along to the event….. As usual, none of the people going to the event are ever early and I anticipated this so I was still beautifying myself at home at 6.45pm when we were supposed to meet at 7pm. Waahahhaa….. Went down to Great World at 7.20pm and Chinki was already at Guardian so we headed down to the food court to eat first.

By the time we ordered our food, Miffy turned up and slowly everyone started appearing… We made quite a ruckus at the food court and laughing loudly as usual… Miffy ordered this Red Ruby dessert where the red rubies were quite small and hardly any water chestnuts in them… and she tried to stop the worker at the store from piling any of the ugly green colour sago… but it was too late. It turned out tasting alright though it looked this horrendous unappetizing shade of green. I still like the red ruby dessert at my ABC market opposite my office…. Waaa… shiok ah that one…

After everyone tried to blame each other for holding up the moving over to Zouk, we managed to drag ourselves to Zouk… While waiting for Gaz to buy “something” at Cold Storage, Susie took out some pills and said he was going to eat his “antibodies”. * faint * Anyway, we sauntered to Zouk from there and poor Chinki’s toes were eaten alive by her super high heels!! There, Ah zai told us never to run across the road… dunno the reason though.

Apparently, they only gave the Nike cds to the girls so Ah zai, Susie and Gaz didn’t get the free cds… but for some reason, the sarcastic guy got one!!! Waaaa…. Happy like bird shit lor.. hahaa. The event was so boring and I could tell everyone looked disinterested as well… the dancers who came onstage were not fantastic and only one girl in the white outfit was worth looking at… Miffy, Gaz and Ah zai started saying that the guy in the orange shirt was definitely gay cause when he danced, he had this “I’m a Diva!!” look…. Pity that I missed it. Darn.

The host [ I shall refrain from naming any names ] was super irritating and I felt like pulling out all his hair…. He tried to get everyone to go down to the dance floor but CMI lor…The event was so boring that I really felt like leaving half way….. but poor Chinki’s shoes were killing her so I went back to her house with her to change her shoes and by the time we came back, the event was over so the rest wanted to dance. So I did my Running-away-like-the-wind action again and slipped away from Chinki and Ah Zai’s hands and flew out of the dance floor….. Found Meow and Mascara woman and yakked with them for a while… However Chinki managed to find me and I went back to the angry bunch who said that they will time my escape from the dance floor next time… The smoke and the horrid music was killing me so I had to drag Chinki out and we sat at this outdoor restaurant at Hotel Copthorne [I think!] and she kept saying that they wont pressure us to get something but this Sotong waiter came out and I ordered the hot chocolate which happened to be one of the cheapest items on the menu while Chinki ordered the Decaffe mocha… iced version. This cat with patches that reminded Chinki of a rotten salad was sitting nearby and it later jumped onto the chair nearby and slept!! Aawww…. sweetie-babycakes.............

So the rest turns up about half an hour later and pushed the cat out of his sleeping area! No lar, Ah zai picked it up and put it on his lap… And Gaz was so afraid of it that when the cat jumped off Ah zai and walked near Gaz, he screamed “Mar-chek Kuching!!” Which means something like mother of all cats or something like that. The rotten salad cat was very good with human company but very quiet. It wont meow at all and just sits there while we pat his head…

Im also having a really hilarious MSN conversation with bunny at this moment of time about being PURE blood and me having peranakan blood… hahhaa… She says it now explains the reason for why I like…. Certain… guys. Hahahah..

Chinki left shortly after as she activated herself for Standby and had to wake up at 5am the following morning. The rest of us went to Esplanade to meet The starfish and his wife… oh ya Miffy had mysteriously disappeared into the depths of Zouk all this while. The taxi driver kept mumbling in Malay that he could not take in 5 people in his cab as it was against the rule and he will ke-na summon $1,000…. But he continued driving anyway. Poor ah zai had to slouch all the way down the seat for the whole journey while the sarcastic guy kept reminding him that he was not supposed to exist in the cab. When we reached the Esplanade, they decided to go to Lau Pa Sat to eat supper.. and I was thinking, “What?! We came here and only to decide to go there? We could have taken the taxi there lor!!” Actually I thought this out loud…After the starfish and his wife went to collect their van, I tried to convince ah zai and the sarcastic guy not to walk to Lau Pa Sat and to take a cab while I pay… And for some reason, Susie just left in a huff! Just when we had decided to take the cab… So gaz calls him to ask where he was going, and he just said he was going home. !!!?!!! Anyway, the rest of us cramped into the van and I had to put my legs on top of this coffee shop stool in the van like a sam-seng while poor starfish’s wife’s pi-ku was hurting because of the ikea table stashed away in the corner was stabbing her.

Upon arrival, we ordered chicken satay and this beef cartilage satay which tasted like….. fat?? The sting ray which I ordered wasn’t fantastic either… so we sat there and chatted till they wanted to clear away our table…Gaz started telling ghost stories during his NS days and everyone contributed a story each. Gaz’s was about this super dark figure standing at the second storey of their bunk when the SAF Band came back while Susie’s one was about Selarang’s camp, where he and his friend saw this figure squatting down at a corner of the room! Ah zai’s one was about his entire bunk bed shaking violently in the middle of the night but he slept though it!! While his friend sleeping opposite his bed was super traumatized. And about this dark figure he sees walking out of his kitchen toilet towards the refuse chute back at his old house…. Every night!! Freaky!!!

We then drove to East Coast Macs and nua-ed there till about 3 plus?? They were talking about NS days which I got bored after a while so I wandered over to the 7-11 for a while. When I came back, everyone was ready to go! Oh well… just as well.. was tired anyway…Amazingly, managed to sleep even after listening to all the ghost stories…. ZzzzzzzzZZZzzZZzz…….

Youuu!! Beautiful Loooseeer...... lol!

hair dyeing and nightmare!!

Darling bunny helped me dye my hair last night at my place and we ordered pizza for dinner….. its been some time since I had pizza man.. and everything tasted so good!! From the Hawaiian, to the garlic bread and the spicy drumlets!! Must be damn hungry as well, so everything tasted so good. Been on a BIG junk food faze and I have been craving for junk food for the past 3 days!! And I feel hungry so easily!! Why ah?!!

Anyway, met up with an iTrip seller last night at Borders and I tested it on my home radio… it works great!! I even got my brother to bring the poddy to his room to see if it can still get the reception… Well, it did lar, but not for long. Hahaa…

Bunny took excruciating pains and extremely long to dye my hair… She claims that she was doing a good job out of it and for some reason, both of us were very very thirsty!! I wanted to get up halfway to get some water but she refused to let me go!! So I got extremely restless and by the time she was done finally, I didn’t want to get up anymore! Still had to wait like 35 mins for the dye to set in and she estimated that I could go wash it off at 10.45pm. By 10.20pm, I was already asking her, “Can I go wash it now??”

No you can’t!! Sit down and don’t be impatient!

So to while away my time, I decided to read out loud to her from my new Marie Claire magazine that I purchased at Borders earlier… about some research studies on Aids patients and how women make up the bigger percentage of Aids patients in the USA and AA people are more likely to get it. And Hispanic people are even more likely to get Aids as compared to AA people. Hmmm… I see.

The Marie Claire magazine also had this interesting article about women have gone under the knife, like tummy tucks and the C-Section. They hurt like crazy and that is just more reason to not have kids… not for anywhere in the next 5 years at least. *Shivers*

Sent bunny back to hostel and it was a really long looooooooonnng drive there man! Good thing she applied for hostel. Can’t imagine her traveling so far just to get to NIE everyday… from Serangoon! Drove along the PIE and turned to this ulu zulu road that I have never driven to, and it looked kinda scary! So dark and foreboding looking… So after dropping her off, I nearly missed all the crucial turnings to get back to the expressway. Had to stop at the junctions in NIE and look both directions before turning the correct way. Lucky no car behind me, if not sure kena horn one.

Managed to get home on the right route which was surprising, because I never fail to get lost in the West. I will end up at some stupid road which I think is correct and I have to make 10 rounds just to get where I want in the West. So not bad, today got some improvement la.

BUT………….

I had a really horrible nightmare!!! I dreamt that I was back in the car [with bunny beside me again!] and I was sending her to hostel [déjà vu??] and I was driving along the expressway towards the Jalan Bahar exit and this time, there were lots and lots of people walking by both sides of the expressway!! Curious, I asked bunny who these people were and where were they going, and she calmly replied “Oh, these are spirits walking back to the Choa Chu Kang Cemetry. They are not really humans though they look like one.. They are spirits.”

OMG……

I was feeling so bloody scared in the car that I started driving at super high speed and I saw some “spirits” trying to cross the road but I didn’t care and just drove through them!! Freaking scary dream and I woke up immediately! When I woke up, I didn’t dare to open my eyes as I knew it was some unholy time of the morning… Wanted to look for my mum, but I was too tired so I forced myself back to sleep… and this time I had more dreams! Can’t really remember the other dreams but I know I woke up at least 3 times!! So when my alarm went off, I felt like I had not slept at all!!

!#$@^@#$^$*&$^&#$%!@#!@$%!!!!

So scary lor… When I told meow and my mum about my dream, she said that it was probably because of the hair dye…. !!!!!!!! She said that when her mum used to be a hairdresser, and when she dye her hair, she used to get headaches and all the funny side effects the same night. Dunno whether true or not, but I just hope that I don’t get such strange and scary dreams anymore… Freaky lor………

ohhh noo!!

ooohhhh nooooo!!!! im feeling so guilty now!! i closed the car door on the poor stray cat downstairs my house this morning!! he came over to our car for his usual breakfast snack and was nua-ing near the door when i was loading my mum's parcels into the backseat. He was meowing and nua-ing and refused to move away even after i shooed him and told him "excuse me". When i noticed that he backed off a little, i decided to close the car door. But what i didnt realise was that his tail was actually at the door! so i closed it on him unknowingly and his tail got stuck as he tried to run away!!

NOTE
this was actually a very hilarious scene and probably something you might see on pudding's cartoon blog but at that time, my mum, me and the cat were super traumatised!!

Anyway, so i hurriedly opened the door to release it and it ran away like the wind!! I tried to look under the next car but i could not see him [i could not bend low enough] so i tried meowing. After a short 5 second pause, he replied back with his usual meows. By now, my mum is scolding me non-stop for kiap-ping the cat's tail and went after him with the food. His tail was stuck up 90 degrees into the air and i never realised that his tail was so furry! Must be shocked until like that... poor baby.... i feel soooo bad! Sure get retribution today one.. maybe my finger will kena kiap-ped by the door or window later....

ok, back to work. decided to blog this before i start work today... heh.

2 clubs in 1 night....

THURSDAY 17 MARCH 2005
Bad hair day

Ok, I have been wanting to blog for some time now but have no time and patience to do so… for some reason, I have been feeling so tired for no reason. Ok, I mean, after my gym I will feel tired, and I went to bed at 11pm on Tuesday. The next morning, my mum even asked me why I went to bed so early! Then she asked, “wah, you go to gym so often nowadays ah, the instructor very handsome is it??”

Mothers are so adorable sometimes.

Right now, I am at work waiting for my 2 bosses to sashay in as I have finished my work… nearly killed my female boss yesterday when she was talking to meow at the table where the granite samples were. So I was packing all the approved samples into a box [my office is like a Bermuda triangle, once they enter the bosses’ room, they disappear!] and I pulled the 3 100x100mm samples towards me [boss on my right, meow on her right] but I didn’t realize that one of the samples was dangling dangerously by the edge of the table and before I knew it, the sample went flying down to the floor! And it landed 2 inches away from my boss’ foot!! *gasp!* thank god nothing dangerous really happened…

Met bunny for my weekly dose of entertainment and once again I was not disappointed. The moment she entered the video ezy @ river valley, she literally “hopped” to me and giggled like…. I dunno.. a bunny?? We spent quite some time deciding which movie to rent, and finally decided on “chasing liberty”, a movie with mandy moore. I thought it was a very “deep” title, but it turned out to be the cheesiest meaning : - Mandy’s character in the show is Liberty, and basically the show is about her being the president’s daughter and how she is dying for her freedom. Then of course she falls in love, so I think that’s how the title came about. Ugh… bunny and I could not continue watching the show and abandoned it halfway with bunny throwing her arms up in the air, “I can’t really be bothered where she goes after this!” [mandy was supposed to be on the train to berlin, but ended up on the wrong train]

Switches tv off.

Bunny hops to my room where she declared, “I wanna paint my nails!!”

So typical. Anyway, I pull out my humongous drawer of nail polishes and she chose the nude shade and I painted the white French tip for her. Which she ruined after going to the toilet….. haiz…

Went online and was in a super crappy mood [crappy as in, felt like talking crap mood crappy and not crappy as in lousy mood crappy] ok enough of the crap…. And had a rather hilarious msn conversation with gazerette, ah zai, married man and cmi [who disappeared for the whole conversation and only appeared when I wanted to log off]. Gaz wanted us to go see his “mr bedok” friend and some hot guy at the manhunt thingy @ this bar called “happy”. Which happens to be a gay bar and it went through a 2 million $$ renovation… job hazard so I agree to go if ah zai goes.


FRIDAY 18 MARCH 2005
Feeling extremely tired and burned out

Was wondering how I was going to go for the manhunt thingy at night as I was super tired in the morning and afternoon. Could not sleep the night before despite feeling tired. Even tried to sleep in the opposite direction but it didn’t help. Anyway, bosses were smoking like a chimmey in the office and I nearly died from sneezing, blowing my nose and a headache. [i think it was an allergic reaction] Was so relieved when I was out of the office for fresh air…

By afternoon I was feeling a little better, so I confirm plans with gaz about tonight. Apparently, it costs $25 for the cover charge to happy!! Called cmi to come down to watch the guys strut their stuff at the club, he wasn’t very keen at first but decided to come down anyway since he said he wanted to see us… awwwwwwww……..

Went to ah zai’s office @ arab street and hung out there and vandalized their office’s white board with my signature cat logo with “this is my cat. Dee~”. Wonder if it’s still there…. Waited there till ah zai was done with some work and timed our departure from the office at the same time as gaz’s. here was how my conversation with gaz turned out,


Gaz : go to mox [which I heard as mosque!] first before going to see riesal le….

Me : what?! Go to mosque??? You never go for your Friday prayer’s right??

Gaz : err… actually ya, I didn’t…


Met hisham aka the sarcastic guy [I dunno what code name to call him lar…] at bugis where we proceeded to take a bus down to Chinatown, where ah zai crashed big time into me when I stopped suddenly to look at the bus guide at the bus stop. So we took the bus to where else? Maxwell market. AGAIN. Everytime we meet gaz, sure go to Maxwell to eat one. Actually, I think he only likes the ambience there more than anything else, cause the food there at night is really lousy. Lol. Ok, so maybe I am fussy.

Waited for gaz to arrive after the 3 of us have finished our dinner and for someone who said he was not hungry and forgot about dinner, he managed to eat 4 pratas in record time. Haha… so we went to mox shortly after that, where I found out that it was the bar that chinki and I walked past when we watched “bent” together. I absolutely loveeee the retro furniture and the ambience there [though it’s a gay bar] and the best part……… it was smoke free!!!! Yeesss! I sooo support the anti-smoke campaign… yesyesyesyeysyesyes… gaz initially chose a sofa where it seemed very uncomfortable so we changed to the giant L-shaped sofa right beside the stage. Gaz was a little more quiet than usual [think he was people watching] while the 3 of us, ah zai, sarcastic guy and me were laughing loudly and making a big fool of ourselves. Laughing and bitching about everything. Think we got high even before drinking our super sweet mocktails…

CMI arrived after a while and we told him that we were all now P.O.S. a new term that ah zai came up with suddenly when we got off the bus at Maxwell. It was derived from Piece of Shit, but it turned into Prisoner of Shushen. . _ .

Mum is watching some programme on tv now where they showed this baby that looks like the size of a newborn kitten. Now she cant stop commenting and squirming. And she said that my brother and I were such huge babies that we looked like 2 months old when we first came out!! Aiyoh….

Anyway, apparently gaz’s friend who was performing [or rather his jazz band] was not bad at all, and the funny thing was, his friend was the guitarist of the band and he looked 92% like bunny’s drew!! Which was freaky cause I thought he was playing some other instruments and when I found out that he plays the guitar, I nearly fell off the sofa. Ok lar, not bad looking and funky bunky is more on the “cute boy” side. Lol.

We had some free drinks for some reason [I really dunno why!] and gaz’s cranberry flavoured drink tasted like cough mixure. My green colour [apple flavoured] one tasted LAGI more like cough mixture. Eeee… so I quickly got the rest to finish it. Heehee..

We went downstairs to the 2million dollar renovation club and found out that I was the only one who needed to pay to get in! cause nsmen get in free. Bah! But anyway, I paid $15 only as compared to the earlier $25 that gaz told me…. It was really nice but a bit dark [I dun have very good eyesight u know even with my specs on] and the toilet was free for all!! If you know what I mean.. wahhahaa.

Watched mr bedok strut his stuff on stage [or rather the dancefloor] but he was not smiling at all! To the point that I could not recognize him!! Haha… and saw the guy that gaz keeps swooning over.. ok lar, not bad. And he definitely looks better in person. On photos look so…. Boy boy one. Very boyband material. Anyway, after that, the rest of them jumped into the dance floor and tried to drag me into it! I slipped away from them like a slippery snake and quickly escaped to the toilet. When I came out to look at them, mr bedok tried to drag me in this time! I think I was quite a scene cause I think quite a lot of people were looking at me. But I ran away once again and out of the club this time. Walked to Maxwell and chatted on the phone for a while before Susie hoe calls. He was hungry so he went to 7-11 to grab a sandwich and we went to check out the design for the scarlet hotel. Really unique stuff as compared to the usual designs in Singapore. It stands out like that beautiful gothic looking building at bugis. I want my office to be there!

Was feeling really tired by then, so I jumped into a cab and smelt like a walking ciggie…. Haha..

Oh. David Sedaris is soooooo funny! and sarcastic!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breathe.

Take 10 deep breaths.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm done. Going to sleep now.... geez................

Lazy Sunday

Saturday 12 March 2005
Once again, I had a 4 hour sleeping marathon in the afternoon… was held back at work till about 2.30pm and though I was so hungry for lunch, I was also feeling really tired out so I just took a cab home and cemented myself to my bed for the next 4 hours. Managed to message J and Ah Zai to ask if they wanted to catch a movie. J didn’t reply which was weird cause she usually does, but anyway, Ah Zai calls and I managed to crawl out of bed to get ready. But not before falling asleep again. When I do manage to get out of my bed, I went to check my mum’s computer to check for the iLife program which Ah Zai said should come with the mac mini.

Being a mac idiot, I could not find the iLife anywhere in the computer and after whining to him over the phone that I could not find it, he decides to come over to check it out. Good idea. His kind clients dropped him off at my place and I showed him the beautiful chandelier that my mum gushes about……… swarovski crystals ok…… I think anyway. So he later realizes that the iLife installer cd is supposed to come with our mac mini but both my mum and I just could not find it. So he checks our comp and its not the updated versions. Bummer.

Took a bus to Far East and ate a boring dinner at Hans but chatted quite a bit about crushes and e.bs and I told him some rather embarrassing secrets [but not that secret also lar. Lol!] to Ah Zai and I’m sure he was pretty entertained by it. Oh well. We were supposed to go to the Apple center at Wheelock Place to ask about the iLife disk but by the time I we finished yakking, it was already 10pm.

One of the topics discussed at Hans was, is there really a perfect other half? As in, I said that my friend has a perfect other half now, no problems in the relationship, and that person is perfect and they don’t quarrel! And to me, this seems kind of weird cause I never imagined such a person or such a relationship. So I asked Ah Zai whether such people do exist and he said yeah there are people who are like that. Hmm… I dunno. I guess im too cynical about certain things nowadays and I would think something is wrong if such a situation happens.

Walked to Taka to drop off his books at the library, then went downstairs to the LV boutique where I could not stop bitching about the ugly LV monogram and especially the new cherry design bags. Ugh…. Then we came up with a slogan for CC [it was inspired after we walked past Chanel] and that kept us entertained for a while.

Cineleisure seemed to be only showing the movies that I have watched already so I checked for GV’s screenings through my handphone and apparently they were still showing Constantine! Which I thought had been conveniently stopped cause it seemed so long ago when it came out. So I told ah zai, “Aiyah, sure must be at some ulu place one. Cause its such an old show.” Oh behold, it turns out that it was showing at Plaza Sing at midnight. So we tried to find an AXS Station to book the tickets but for some reason, we just could not find one anywhere. I though Hereen would have but I was wrong. So I convinced him to take a bus to Plaza, and at the bus stop, he met his friend. Apparently, when I’m with my friend, and my friend meets someone else he/she knows, I will automatically disappear until they are done with their conversations. I also dunno why. Hahaa…

So we managed to get to Plaza Sing and our tickets, but it was the 4th row from the screen. After that, it was a series of unfortunate events for both of us. Actually, not unfortunate lar. More like, irritating. Hahhaa! Anyway, Ah zai wanted to show me the shop that Metaphysics’ had completed and apparently, the shop is called “The Maternity House” but I thought it was called “Mums and Babes”. So we had a hard time figuring out which floor it was on, then when he remembered that it was on the 4th floor, I pointed to “Mum’s and Babes” and asked Ah Zai, is that the one? He nods his head and say “Yes that is the one.” But actually it was not!! Because when we got down to the 4th floor [we were on the 5th] and I stood outside the shop, he asked me,

Ah Zai : Why are you looking into the Mums and Babes shop??
Me : isn’t this the shop?? [peers into the dark shop]
Ah Zai : No lor!! I didn’t say that it was this one! Its called the Maternity House!
Me : What?!!! But I pointed to this shop and I even asked you whether it was Mum’s and Babes and you said yes!

By then, Ah Zai starts running away and laughing frantically and I gave chase and attempted to whack him with my brown retro print bag. I then felt thirsty so I went down to Macs and instead of getting a drink I decided on the ice cream… yuuumm… ordered the cone version, but the sotong looking guy over the Macs counter gave me the cheaper cone [u know, the 50cents cone??] and I was so sad… cause I wanted the other one. Sat at the granite benches outside and watched a cockroach run towards my legs… eeeeeww..

For some reason, when we entered the theatre, Ah zai commented that the place smelt like a group of smelly army guys who just came in to get some air conditioning. As usual, I always have a nose block, so I could not really smell it. But when we sat down, I smelt the nachos that the guy beside Ah Zai was eating and I thought that was more smelly! The seats were surprisingly not bad and it was not too near the screen. But the stupid guy beside me, kept knocking his left leg into mine throughout the whole movie. So irritating lor! And as for Ah Zai, he could not hear too much of the dialogue [especially the important parts!] cause the guy beside him was too noisy, eating the nachos!

After the movie, walked with zai to the Somerset bus stop and the moment he turned to go to the bus stop, I had to walk down this pathway that had a lot of trees by the pavement… Then I felt like some bug or cockroach fell onto my arms and I kept making these swiping motions on my arms cause I was so affected by the movie! [there were a lot of bugs in the show lar]

Oh ya, and Ah zai said something about me having a salty mouth… or rather he thought that I had a salty mouth. ??!! [please don’t let your imagination run wild] Apparently, salty mouth is a direct translation of some malay saying that means that whatever bad things you say will come true. But now, I can’t remember what I said. Darn.

Sunday – today
Wanted to go downstairs to the pool area to get a tan for my arms… cause there is an ugly tan mark at the “short sleeve” mark and its really ugly…. But it was so hot and I was feeling so lazy that I just watched tv for half the afternoon… I’m such a bum! Wahahahhaa…

Oh, and I found out that vadai [that Indian snack with a prawn fried with some flour like thing and you eat it with the giant green chilli] is actually pronounced va-dei, and not wa-dei…… no guesses where I got my sources from….. : D

"dirty" road by my office...

oh ya. forgot to mention that the road leading to my office seems to be infested with............. condoms. and used one at that. really.... its really gross ok. it started with me noticing something plastic bag-ky and yellow in colour on the road a few months ago. Then when i realised what it was when i walked closer, i wanted to die. Meow and lao da could not stop laughing at me and said that i had some affinity with such things. ugh.

Then, the other day, i noticed another one, also yellow in colour by another adjoining road!! my god... i just want to die. then..... when i took a cab back to office from ikea, i noticed this bright blue squarish packet on the seat and i was wondering what it was. then i realised that it was a packet of condoms!! more like one pack actually. ARRRRGGH!! why meeee?!! then i showed it to meow who could not stop laughing but kicked it to the floor, but it was still obvious so she kicked it under the seat. gosh.....

And just 2 days ago, this time, meow saw another used one.... at the same road. but it was horribly flattened to the road and looked like some fossil on the road ok!! what's wrong with these people!!!!! why must they like... throw it out of the car like that?! without wrapping up the "evidence" first?! go to a hotel or something lar! or just don't use it at all!! so it doesnt gross people out like this every time.... ugh.

Great, now it is raining, how am i and meow supposed to go meet lao da now.... what a day. bummer~

"hot" day today...

Wanted to type a whole lot of things the other night but I did not because my poor brother seems to be going through a “mid-school-crisis” and he seemed upset. Apparently he wants to drop his Art subject, citing reasons of having too much homework to do, and he could not cope with an extra subject. But I felt it was more because he totally hate his teacher and probably more pressurized by all his other friends who want to drop the subject……… all because they hate the teacher! I admit that what the teacher does seems wrong but he did not speak up to us and my mum and I were not aware of his unhappiness until very recently. Geez…. But anyway, I guess I can understand since I was very stressed at his age 9 years ago [OMG!! So old already!!] and so I decided to write him a nice long letter… haha.. was just typing and typing and didn’t realize that it ended at 3 pages long!! Waaaa…. Actually, I kinda got reminded of the times in secondary school where Bunny and I used to write these “folios” to each other, EVERYDAY and there was even a time when we were competing to see who could write more pages!! Lol… brings back fond memories…

Met up with miffy on Tuesday night [non-gym day] and we were looking for a suitable present for her friend’s birthday… for this sat I think… we were not successful but I saw this purple ring which I really liked!! And I can’t stop thinking about it!! Even after a measely 10% discount, it costs $80… wooooahh.. wait, can buy my iTrip! Better not anyhow spend. So after window shopping around for a while, we went to Mos to grab a bite. Sat there till closing time talking about idiotic, stupid and bastardly e.bs…. haha.. It was truly refreshing in a way bitching about them for some reason and both of us could not stop babbling! Now, I really understand the fact that, someone will only realize that he/she has taken the other half for granted…….. after they are gone. *poof!* disappears into the wind and never to return. And it will always be too late for them though there were plenty of chances to work things out but they just won’t. I think everyone just have this mentality that that special someone will be there for them all the time, but I think this is something that nobody should ever take for granted.

But after the talk, we both concluded that we do not want to be treated badly anymore and we know what we really want now. Not like how I was in the past, always hiding in the shadows somewhere and thinking that I was being loved. And just when someone new brought me out of my darkness, and thinking I have found The One, it all plunges downhill again and once again back further into that little black hole. I think I took a long time to crawl back out of that hole and I simply could not face reality and wanted to live in my own dreamworld. Have been thinking quite a lot about this lately and after listening to others about their experiences, I want to be a truly stronger person and be able to go out there to prove my worth to others, and if I do find that someone special, I better be loved for who I am. [Woooaah!]

Ok ok, enough of my dark thoughts… haha. Shall try to write on a more light hearted note. Oh, but before I do that, I had a string of bad luck since last night after my gym workout. Eyelids could not stop twitching, missed my bus 54 the moment I got to the bus stop, and dreamt of someone DIS-gusting last night!!! Ahhhh!!! The horrors of it all!!!

For some reason, today seems to be an EXTREMELY hot day, not hot as in hot warm weather, but hot as in hot date hot. Hahaha… I have made an appointment today with my friends, thinking that Bunny said that she will be busy for this week [and Thursday seems to be our meeting day every week] but she messages to tell me that she wants to meet today…. But I keep having to tell her that I really can’t meet even with her persistent “Why you don’t want me?? Why you don’t want to meet me today?! I’m so borrrreeeddd…” or “Let’s meet next Monday or something.” And she repeats her first sentence when I tell her that Monday is a NO-NO cause it’s the cute butt instructor body combat class… hahaaha.. then, miffy messages me to ask if she can worm at my place before going to MS. THEN, chinki calls to ask if I’m free tonight!! Waaaa…. Why today so hot date har??! Friday and Saturday I’m super free lor! Harrrllooww??! Lol..

Ok, so Bunny just wants to see me today for some reason. She misses meeee…. She just called to say that chinki and her will be catching the 9.20pm movie… Bunny bunny bunny… what will my life be without you! :D

Hmm.. just realized that I have not blogged about Sunday’s event. Haha… pretty exciting I must say. In the morning, as my mum was about to turn the crucial turn to go to Pennisular Plaza from my place, Bunny tells me that Stentorian’s event might be pushed to an earlier time slot!! So I rush to Youth park and see them on stage… doing their sound check. So later, funky bunky comes off stage and talks to me. In short sentences. But the only time he seemed pleased with what he said was when I asked,

Me : Is fancy girl coming later for this gig?
FB : Har? Dunno le…
Me : Oh I see…..

5 seconds later…

FB : Ya, she’s your rival……….. [smirks]
Me : !!!!!!!!

So anyway, Bunny tried her best to come down to the gig as early as possible from church and even called a cab. But somehow, that backfired because her cab never came so she just hopped into a passing one. Luckily she didn’t miss them. As usual I was the band’s photographer and took photos of them with the flower man’s camera and mine. Gig was good as usual and there were even ardent NJC fans dancing to them!! Pretty cool…

Had lunch with them at Cine’s foodcourt and listened to the band members talk crap the whole time. Went down to Pennisular with them and watched Bunny squeal and cover her face behind my shoulders as she watched “The Boogey Man” trailers on TV mobile. And for some reason the iTrip was sold out at the authorized Apple store in Funan. Hmmm…

the wild ones.....

i have pimples in my ears..... again. i dunno wat's wrong with me... must be too "heaty" or something.. or maybe my earphones are dirty....eeeeeeeewww...

meow and mascara woman could not make it to the gym yesterday so i went alone.... didn't like the idea of going for body combat alone [dunno y!] so went for the cycling class instead. i was very disturbed for the whole day yesterday thinking about things... even during the cycling class my mind was still somewhere else... don't know why i was so disturbed also but.. anyway i should not think so much about it.

collected my photos at far east plaza after work and met miffy for shopping. [though this time i didn't buy anything except my dinner] i think she is going to be called "the retail therapy friend".....

geez.... was in such a great mood to type in my entry today but now my mood is spoilt by my brother... i hate teenagers going through this phrase! arrrggh!! well i was once like that too. lol...

anyway. when i get my mood back i will type again.

Listening to :
The Wild Ones - Suede [One of my all time favourite songs]

There's a song playing on the radio
Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show
And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays
And as I open the blinds in my mind I'm believing
that you could stay

And oh if you stay
I'll chase the rainblown fields away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
Oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today

There's a song playing through another wall
All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve
And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day
Cos on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain

But oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves
We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow each day
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fears away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
oh if you stay

We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today

unglam fall.... again!

wednesday 2 march 2005
had irritating uncomfortable stomach cramps in the office yesterday and i made an observation about my stupid monthly cramps. i notice that the cramps for each month is different. one month, it will be extremely painful to the point i can just roll about on the bed. another month, it will be alright, but a little painful. and the next month, it can be an on-and-off pain... and that would be the best description for yesterday's cramps. yes yes...

went to orchard to get my casing for my poddy [nickname for ipod, as bunny has used on her blog] and on the way to orchard, ah zai messages to tell me some good news about his work.... decided to wait for him to get down to orchard to go to the apple centre together... so in the meantime, i walked to mango at isetan since it has been months since i stepped into one.... saw a small wallet for only $25 which i liked but when i shoved all my stuff inside, i realised that it became super poofy!!! and the button could not close. looks like i have to get another card holder or just re-use my cheapskate mphosis cardholder/wallet that i have been using so far. darn.

was not expecting ah zai to turn up at orchard so quickly so i rushed over to wheelock's escalators upon hearing His Majesty's arrival. he was slightly irritating yesterday but not as much as the other time.... :D anyway, he wanted to get his remote earphones but they cost a whopping $69.... i grabbed my clear casing and was still considering getting the iTrip until we saw Rizal... the dragon boat guy = gazerette's friend. he was wearing a low cut red long sleeve shirt which showed his cleavage and he came over to talk to us. I dunno what ah zai said to him, but suddenly Rizal came over to touch my arm seductively and i screamed, in the middle of the crowd at the apple shop, while ah zai ran behind some cardboard boxes at the back of the shop and i threatened to whack him with my beautiful casing.

decided not to get the iTrip cause i had this impression that it costs $50+ but it turned out to be $75. think i will try a second hand one. Besides, ah zai said that it might be better to get the chio black one instead, because the white iTrip's plastic does not really match the ipod, and the black one would be a beautiful dramatic contrast. But i said that i wanted them to MATCH, and the stupid shop did not have one on display so i could not see how un-matching they were. haha.... so idoitic me... im turning into a poddy manic.

so after i paid for my purchase, ah zai walked out empty handed cause he decided to either get it online, where they would deliver it to HIS house or get it on the forum. haha... he still owes me for my casing lor... [private joke]

i suddenly remember that i had this suuuppper irritating flash cartoon link where the cartoon fish was singing this extreeeeemely irritating song.... i wonder if i still have it somewhere... hmmm... i hope chinki still has it. but then again, she will sing that irritating song to me if she remembers.... hmmm..

as usual, ah zai and i could not decide on where to eat in town and we ended up at cuppage where he had his tasty beef hor fun and i had my fish hor fun. he kindly fixed my casing for my poddy and we hurried to cold storage to get our toiletries. [it was 9.20pm then] only to see someone DIS-gusting there... the same person we saw at borders the last time. ugh. man... must check my feng shui, why i always meet this same character. while ah zai mentioned something about checking his horoscope online that night.

oh yar, i also had 2 unfortunate accidents that night while out with ah zai. first, i dropped my bag onto the floor [with my poddy inside!] while talking to ah zai on my hp, then as we climbed the stairs to cuppage's new food court, i tripped over the stairs and almost fell flat on my face. so bloody unglam lor.... he thinks he is a jinx for the day... shortly afterwards, bunny messaged me to say that she crashed into the flower guy because she tripped over his bulky adidas shoe. gosh....

cold storage apparently do not carry the stuff that we were looking for so i just paid for my camomile tea and we hurried over to guardian [we were worried that they would close the shutters on us] where i got my stuff. ah zai bought more toiletries than me and everytime he buys something, its always some brand or some funny looking item that i have never come across before. so interesting. he was going to pay for his super expensive Gillette box of 5 razors for $11.90 until he said he saw a value pack for only $10 plus. it turned out that the value pack was really value for money cause it included

1. the exact same box of 5 razors
2. 1 new shaver and
3. 1 small bottle of something which i could not see.

for only $10.90.

i commanded him to get the value packie. so waste money that one box of razors... don't understand lor...

anyway, after our shopping trip, we both headed home and managed to watch the amazing race... wwwoooooo hoooo....

going to meet bunny in a few hours... can't wait for my weekly entertainment. hee..... in a good way lar... :D

cool shuffle art...

chanced upon this at a local mac forum... so bloody cool!!! now i wish i had a shuffle.... think the "shuffle bitch" design is quite suitable for ah zai... hahahaha...

http://deviljiru.com/shuffleart/

high on longans...

went to one of the photo printing shops at lucky plaza this evening while awaiting the arrival of the iad gang... decided not to walk to my usual far east plaza photo shop as i was shopping in paragon until 8 plus, so i thought that the shop at far east would be closed.

So here was what happened :

Me : Excuse me, how much would it be to print digital photos?

Uncle : 40cents.

Me : For 4R Size??

Uncle : Yes yes...

So in the end, this other younger guy attends to me and helped me print my photos. This was the start of my nightmare... First, he started to adjust my photos... as in the brightness... so i managed to stop him on time. Apparently, how he prints the photos is like... 6 photos in a set when he clicks the "print" option. So when he is on the second page, i said, i wanted white borders. And he replied in a rather rude and can't be bothered tone that he had sent the first set for printing already. So i start putting on a black face because i was really upset as i wanted the white border. But i didnt say anything and told him to continue. When the whole set was printed out, i noticed that the photos were matt and not glossy.

Me : Are these matt or glossy?

Young guy : [in a sheepish tone] Oh, er thats matt.

M : [feeling cheesed off] Is there a price difference in your matt or glossy finish?

YG : Er... no. they are the same price.

So. i took a deep breath and just bit my lip. I have been told that my temper has been a tad too short lately so i didn't want to start something then. Looked through the photos quietly. Besides, i didn't tell him at the start that i wanted glossy or white borders either.

I had also mentioned to him that i want to print a certain photo to 2 pcs of wallet sized. but i wanted 2 no.s of that photo that is wallet sized, but what i didnt know was that the wallet sized photos came in a standard of 2 of the photos in the same sheet for $2. so this guy sends 2 PAGES of the photo and ends up with 2 PAGES = 4 no.s of the same photo.

Me : You didn't tell me that your wallet prints came in 2 no.s of the photos. so when i said i wanted 2 no.s of the photos, i meant as in one page. but you didn't tell me and now you have printed 2 pages!!

YG : [in an irritated tone] Ok lar! i charge u for one piece only ok???

Me looking SUPER BIG TIME CHESSED OFF.....

So i ask him for the total. he mumbles something about giving me a discount because of the wallet prints mistake. [wow, i think to myself] So i start taking out a $10 note.

Total : $17.80

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me : One print is 40 cents right??! How come it is $17.80??!

YG : Ya, it is 40 cents per print, and the wallet sized photo is $2 and there is [pushes some stuff blocking this note pasted on the glass table beside me] a $5 charge for "OPENING OF FILES".

I was speechless. I was so angry that i thought i was going to feel smoke coming out of my ears. All i told myself in my head was to just grab the photos and walk away and to never ever ever ever step into this shop in my entire life.

I slammed the other $10 note from my wallet onto the table and waited impatiently for my change. the guy sensed my anger but he seems totally oblivious as to why i was angry. which made me even more angry. and feel like doing my body combat moves on him. the new ones that julian taught yesterday. but i didnt. instead, I stomped off to far east plaza and sat at the bus stop and quickly took out my ipod and switched to suede's coming up album. had to calm myself down and just stared into space until miffy appeared beside me. As i ranted to her about what happened, we bought curry puffs from Old Chang Kee and since i was so angry, i totally lost my appetite and could only manage to eat less than half of the curry puff. And it was quite hot also lar.

Patrick and the IAD gang appeared with the van and i rushed to open the van's door, totally oblivious to the Kia car waiting in front of the van. It was only after i saw Patrick and Liting pointing frantically at the car in front that i realised that it was the class's ah beng driving. So miffy and i hopped to the back seat of the car. He seemed upset that nobody wanted to sit in front with him.....haha. And while directing him to Zion road food centre, i told him to turn right at this junction but we totally didn't realise that it was a red light and he turned! and nearly knocked into this woman crossing the road! It was only then that he said that he had accumulated 12 points already and he could not afford to get any more.... opps.

So, since i spent my last $20 of the month on the lousy photos, miffy had to pay for my dinner. So super pai seh.... She helped me order my cheng teng but was sweet enough to get me the iced one cause she said i needed to cool down. hahaha.... then ah zai tried to feed the stray cat his fish balls. erm... ok. when ah zai arrived with his bowl of floating fish balls and soup, i was shocked and thought that he was on a diet! Then he dipped his chopsticks in and out came these glass noodles..... oooooooooohhhh... so sua koo....

As i repeated my exciting story to the rest, i suddenly lost my appetite and could not eat anymore! So i just stuffed myself with the wantons and veggies from my wanton mee.... Liting was so shocked that i didn't finish eating my food. Guess when im really angry, i lose all my appetite. Well, all i can say is, Tried and tested. Lol.

Patrick had a papaya milk drink that was a really weird shade of orange..... like that of a.... an artificial honeydew drink. And Liting had a honeydew juice that was a shade of a lime or starfruit juice! Though patrick thought that it looked like sugar cane....

After our food, we sat and yakked about people and laughed till i nearly fell off the chair and i could feel everybody in the food centre staring at us because we were laughing so loudly. That is what i like being with the IAD gang. you can get high without any alcohol. well, maybe on longans cause that was what almost everyone ate except me. I can get high on even plain water.

So, the kind patrick sent me home and dropped the rest home.... After the horrible photo printing ordeal, i only have one conclusion.

An angry girl is a stupid girl.
