10987654321

the most anticipated holidays is almost here. new year. new beginnings.... or is it another year to make resolutions u cant keep, make the same mistakes u made the year before? It seems like only yesterday when we were worrying about Y2k... and now it's 10 years later.... 3650 days. geez. that seems like a lifetime itself.

10 years ago:
1. we were concerned about the millenium bug, planes and computers crashing at the stroke of midnite
2. taxi's starting price was still $2.40 and it jumps at increments of 10cents.... and there were only blue, yellow, black and the occasional white smrt cabs to choose from.
3. GST was probably still 3%
4. handphones were getting smaller and smaller. but now it just seems like the trend's going the opposite way
5. i was worrying about my O level grades
6. there wasnt 9/11 yet and bush was still president
7. Goh Chok Tong was still prime minister
8. using ICQ was da bomb.... the HORROR
9. no one knows what uploading or downloading meant
10. i was still hanging out at parkway like its the hippest place on earth
11. Britney and NSYNC were the biggest shits in music
12. No one has ever heard of reality tv
13. Channel 5 was still showing sitcoms on tv..... like FRIENDS
14. Tiger woods was still pre "trangressions"
15. i was still a virgin

hahaha ok la no 15 still true unfortunately. dammit. so what has changed since then..... eh. pretty much nothing. i'm still.... me. more cynical. more world weary...... slightly richer with slightly less hair with slightly bigger stomach than before. let's just hope 2010 will be better for everyone and i'll be happier... one can only hope. ABS here i come....i know u are lurking somewhere down there. PLEASE COME OUT.

ok bye.

XMAS meeeeeeeeehhhhh

Readers who are anticipating super haps update during this long break would be greatly disappointed because truthly, this Xmas was quite meh, blah, uneventful, boring.... well at least the parts which i had nothing to do were. I dun even have any photos to show. so sad. and the worse thing was i dunno why i spent so much money in 5 days!! :(

I ran out of office to JE in the morning of Xmas eve to make a pair of new specs because to put it simply, i was bored and i think i needed new specs. and i bought daily contacts as well. BAM 300bucks gone.

Had a Xmas eve lunch with Skee and Carol at our new fav hangout PS Cafe. Actually we were supposed to have it at Cedele at Great world city but the carpark queue was to fantastically long we decided to jump ship. which turned out to be a good thing.... becuase PS cafe food rocks. and i had my sangria along with it. WOOOohoooo! mid day alcoholic drink FTW!! :) and i got my first ever xmas present (or rather after a very long long time). an autobiography of a stripper from USA. hahahaha LOVES IT. Carol u know me too well. ok damage done over lunch was i think...... 60bucks.

Bored to death at nite, i begged khalid to go clubbing with me, which he obliged. but we didnt club in the end, we just drank at some pub. cos he was too tired and so were his frens. DAMN BORING XMAS EVE PLEASE. went home at like 1am.

ehhhhhh on xmas day what did i do ah.... hmmm that would be a BIG FAT NOTHING.

on boxing day what did i do ah....... hmmmm i went to my aunties house to eat popiah and curry chicken and prawns and shit loads of other food and also partly to celebrate Aunt Pamela's bday. yeah. ok quite nice to spend family time but overall...... meeeeeeeeh.

on the 27th...... ate lunch at granny's cos my paternal auntie came back from Malaysia and was leaving soon. and then had to rush home to dress up to go watch Sherlock Holmes, which was before Weizong's wedding. Sherlock holmes was pretty ok i guess..... not as exciting as i tot it would be.... i guess Avatar just set too high a standard for movies to be awesome now.... and then we trotted to Sheraton for the wedding which frankly i didnt care much for. i was just there to drink all the wine i can get for $100. But i gotta admit Sheraton's interior looked so LUX. certainly would not have guess that from its exterior which was pretty chui. Couples can go there and take a look!

And then at nite i went.... yes you've guessed it right. CLUBBING AGAIN. hahaha at zirca. it seems like if i have nothing to do at nite, i would be at establishment that serves copious amounts of alcohol. SO FUN PLEASE. danced until 4am and made out with random strangers.... gotta love that. i think i have a thing for angmohs and angmohs have a thing for me..... i seem to be attracting way too many of them. damn. and 2 times of clubbing i think i probably spent another 100bucks in total. :( major pocket bleed.

Monday went out for lunch with my aunties and mother and cousins at Ion's IMperial Kitchen (which is basically a crystal jade rip off but just as good) and then we spilted way and i went to do my own shopping..... which is really a bad thing cos sometimes i am an impulse buyer (see spectacles purchase above) and i blew 100bucks on a pair of short shorts and t-shirt from Woonderland. SIGH. my bonus ALL GONE. Had a few hours to kill before meeting janelle shanny mala and van for dinner at PS. so i went to PS cafe (at paragon, pun not intended) to read my magazine and drink passion fizz. yums. Janelle is back crazier than ever and glad that everyone else found a job. which isnt an easy feat considering this screwed ecomony. not bad not bad!! too tired from too many late nites so decided to call it a day at 930pm.

So yeap that's it. my NECK is freaking KILLING ME for the past 3 days... i dunno what the hell is wrong with my bones. i used to think i have colon cancer cos i get diahorrea all the time but now i think i might have bone cancer. HOW HOW!!! super not feeling it right now with both my back and neck fucked. booohhringggg.

Busy like a bumble bee

Year ends are the best time for gatherings and meetings. which is why i felt like a freaking socialite this weekend.

Went to watch Avatar in 3D on Friday nite with Siwei. Avatar is SUPERBLY AWESOME omg i dun even know where to begin..... luscious landscapes, fantastic graphics, moderately ok script.... made me wish i have my own dinosaur bird so i can FLY even thou i hate fast speeds and heights. The movie ended at 1230am so i had to take cab home... :( And taking cabs at Orchard at that time is IMPOSSIBLE.

Anyway woke up at an ungodly hour of 9am on Saturday to go to SENTOSA>..... i tot i was going to be late but in the end i was still one of the Earliest!!! FML. We played vball fo about a hour before it started RAINING. FOL. But it was fun while it lasted. I really enjoy playing vball. It is perhaps the ONLY team sports that i enjoy. I hate people. After leaving sentosa we went to harbourfront for the mandatory meal at KFC which totally rocked.

Rushed home to change and prepare for dinner with the D&D committee at Alaturka Turkish Restaurant at Arab Street!!

The food was DAMN GOOD. omg. Whack all the skewered meat like nobody's business.... at first it was quite weird cos only Mag and BL were there so it was like AWKWARD.... but when everyone came it became fun!!

After that we went to 3 monkeys cafe at Orchard towers. I have NEVER been to OT at nite and i must say. it is really very sleazy. its like..... tranny heaven and prostitute paradise. but watevs.

Poison du jour. so happy drank 2 cocktails... went crazy.

This is me and my crazy face. gotta love that. And then we also had gift exchange (i know so lame. not my idea). I had to buy a present for Mag and since she liked travelling and she's from Archi, i bought her a book on travelling ard the world from and Architect's viewpoint. I think this is the best gift i ever given someone on a gift exchange.

After that i had to run off to TP to meet Khalid and Zadhan for some clubbing which ended really late. It wasnt as fun as the other time but i did have a major workout. and i think i dance too violently when i am drunk. HAHAH.

Sunday ah oh yes. after 2 nites of sleeping late, i was almost gone. but i still had to wake up to prepare to meet skee and gang at Olio Dome at the Arts house for lunch. I must say i really love the olio dome there cos no one ever goes there (so its quiet) and the food i pretty decent :) The burger was quite succulent. LOVES IT.

Skee sent me home and had a cat's nap before going to Weitee's house for POKER!!! popopopopokerpokerfaceee. loves it!! So happy all the guys could make it cos it's been Quite some time since i met them for poker. Thou i lost 7bucks, i think i am getting better at it!! cos i was initially down like.... 22!! And then we went to a german restaurant (Werner's?) at Siglap for some prok knuckles and bratwurst and Paulaner's beer. total YUMZ.

So that ends my weekend of socialiting like a butterfly. i know. what to do... i got too many frens.

Sunday, December 13, 2009

oh yes thank god i dun feel poor anymore...

My claims for D&D came in last week. my acct finally went back to 4 digits. seriously living with only 200bucks in the bank acct is a torture.... i think i am used to being rich. and then yesterday my regular pay came in and my 13th month bonus. LIKE OMG how ROCKS is that. Even thou i paid off my debts to my mum (equivalent to one month's pay o_O) I am still rich!!! And i still have $1000 of allowance that hasnt been banked in yet. WOOOHOOO. bonus rocks.

Totally in a holiday mood now. cannot concentrate at work.... took off on Friday to prepare for the bbq at nite. Hauled my ass to the market with a bed head at 8am (!!) to buy the wings and pork chops and then came home to make the tiramisu. totally like a housewife. whisking eye white without a whisk is a pain in the ass. Went to temple and had lunch with my family before heading to the pool for a short swim and then took a cab down to meibaos house for BBQ~~!!!

I love bbqs. it may be the best type of food i like to eat. Everyone starting trickling in after 6 (as usual) but its alright. as long as they come. the food was pretty good. the squirty sausages did it's magic again. i dun think i'll ever get sick of having those.... celebrated Ak's bday with the tiramisu and drank the nite away after that. adjourned the session back to hall after being chased out by the guard. booooooooo. the concoction of alcohol and not having enuff sleep proved too much to handle and i concussed at 1am. how weak. oh well watever.

Did nothing much today except meet siwei for shopping and our new fav KFC. yes i am glad to say i am halfway done for my xmas shopping (sorry no presents. they are all for myself). 5 more items to go. retail therapy rocks. spotted a pair of really sweet looking going out shoes at far east. shud i buy. SHUD I!!!!?!?! :((((

a full week ahead at work.... geez. i dun think i will ever get used to having 5 day weeks after coming back from US and taking a day off the other weeks. SIAN. slap me now...

Randomness

The past week was kinda random.

met up with see yong zhixuan jingpeng & song yao for dinner on thursday. at the most random place (tanjong pagar) eating the most random food (authentic korean stuff). Remind myself never ever to eat korean food again... to put it simply, it's not my cuppa tea. The first time I had real korean food, it was to celebrate han's bday (coincidentally with almost the same grp of people) at that korean bbq place opp haw par villa.... it kinda sucked and i swore off korean food altogether.

But you know. humans dun learn. you kinda wanna give korean "cuisine" a second chance, because maybe ya know, that first restaurant just wasnt good. NO. Korean food, hmm how shud i say it without being rude... SUCKS. It's so spicy. and everything tastes the same. they basically put everything in a hot pot and thats it. As my mum calls it "food for the pigs". hahahha. gotta love that.

I miss my old buncha hall mates. it was nice talking to a couple of them, but also realised some people just dun have enuff tact and eq. so i just shuddap after a while.

Friday.... oh yes. i needed some retail therapy so i headed to Topman at Ion and splurged on skinny jeans and that fire red shoes that i posted before. 2/10 items bought! WOOOHOOO retail therapy rocks. Now i can look red like angbao for chinese new year. Then i met weiwei for dinner... and we are both kinda broke so i said let's eat macs. den he said yeah let's try the new burger. den i said omg you know what kfc has the new black pepper chicken and we both said WE SHOULD TOTALLY JUST SHARE A MEAL AT MACS AND ANOTHER AT KFC. den we can save money, not eat so much and get the best of both worlds!!! Randomness to the max but totally loving it. and by the way the black pepper chicken rocks to the max.

After that we went to cineleisure to watch the gayest movie Twilight. We felt so gay siwei actually suggested we shud go in one by one. hahaha. of cos we didnt. we read reviews about how sucky it was so we decided to see if it's really that bad...... ACTUALLY, if the movie was about 30mins shorter it would have been alright. if they would cut away the unnecessary scenes of bella screaming in her sleep (fuck man sibei funny), of her walking and waking up in the forest (??) and other random things. And then the 2 leads running in the forest wearing burberry's Spring/summer collection 2010. wah kao super random. the whole theatre just burst out laughing. And the director must be milking every single minute of the werewolf walking around topless and wearing DEMIN SHORTs. like WHO THE FUCK walks around topless during winter months. it was SOOOO tacky and soooo cheesy and soooo GAY.

Saturday.... oh yes. random performance by the dancers at tampines safra. dancing to phantom of the opera for xmas tree light up. in victorian costume. it was. BAD. hahahhaa. went over to blk 85 for some homecooked goodness that is the bah chor mee. shiokness. and bbq chicken wings. double shiokness.

On the way to the mrt we saw cqt and ak. like how random was that. kp-ed about sebas a bit and then met up with khalid to go clubbing. WOOHOOO. SO glad i was drunk enuff to stay longer cos they started playing nicer songs towards the end. super fun!!! we shud do this again soon for XMAS!!! :))) workout of the week. woots!!

So yeah. that concludes my week. looking forward to another 4 day week. yoga on tuesday. dance camp on wed. bbq on friday. ahhhhh life is good.

So haps please.... cannot take it.

Yeah the first week back from US was quite shiong. Everyday in the office is bam bam bam. Gotta thank god (not Jesus, Allah) for Hari Raya Haji siaaalllll but a short work week. If not sure GG. My jet lag has gotten better i guess.... I had to sleep at 11 for 3 days after coming back but now i can stay up late!!.... well, sort of late. heh.

Met up with siwei on thursday nite. Since he's gotten his first decent paycheck i made him pay for Ding Tai Fung (Diane von furstenburg...... sorry sorry private joke). Anyway halfway thru the meal i had to leave to let go some atomic bombs..... if u catch my drift..... u see i got so busy at work i got no time to go toilet properly for 2 days..... i think all the pent up amonia decided to explode right about dinner time..... So yeah i didnt really enjoy my DTF as much as I would have liked since my XLB became cold after coming out of the loo..... omg sorry sorry tmi. i cant help it.

Met up with Aili for like 10mins to pass her her keychain. And please..... who goes to orchard road especially to see xmas lights. thats so..... aili. cannot take it. So me and Siwei went to Taka to find panini pressing machine and later headed back to hall to find alexis.... saw mas mas for a while and went home after that. sinned please.

Went to my grandma's house on Friday to play mahjong with my auntiesssss and to have dinner. Won 40plus bucks from them since i keep winning 5 tai. haha. And i kept drinking alcohol while playing..... can u say ZAI please..... drunken gambler. gotta love that. i was intoxicated from 2plus all the waaay till at nite because i went to meet Khalid for some clubbing. Wanted to slap him cos he made me wait for 1 1/2 hours. typical malay bloody hell. Chanced upon my long lost sec school fren who apparently speaks with a Hongkie english accent now and works for NKF corp comms. Glad that he is doing well and looking darn good now!

Saturday ah... shit what did i do. ehhhhhhh. nothing much really. Played poker with FK and Wenhan and ended up losing 39bucks so i guess the law of averages really is true huh. u win some u lose some and net effect is ZERO. so sad. there goes my new socks and new undies for the new year. Didnt have much stuff to do at nite and for a moment I tot i was going to stay at home on a Sat..... BUT NO. My fren called me and asked to meet for a drink cos he just broke up with his gf.... AYE. not that i LIKED meeting him on such occasions but it gives me a reason to drink. RELATIONSHIPS are SO overrated and LAME. Everyone should just have meaningless flings and ONS. Right? Isnt that more fun.

Yeah so that concludes my super haps weekend. Praying for December to come soon so we can all have 3 1/2 day weeks.... and lots of partying and boozin. 5 day weeks are such.a.chore.

All i want for Xmas is....

Althou I am in debt now (all those insurance premiums, monthly allowance I owe my mum, money i changed for the US trip), there a still a million things i wanna buy..... shit sia....

1. Bowties of every colour of every shade of every pattern!!

4. Topman Fire Red Patent Plimsolls.... Looks super sick doesnt it. Shit sia... I already checked it out and it cost 69bucks. SHUCKS

Shit man i want one pair of glasses i can actually use for the rest of my life so i dun have to keep changing them! The only reason why i bought my red glasses was.... someone i used to like liked red. yeah.... u can shoot me now.

6. Skinny jeans!.... my sister thinks i have fat thighs so i would look hideous in them..... maybe i shud just trade in my old jeans and get a pair of 501s.

7. A manbag that looks like this....

Time Flies.....

I have been using the organiser issued as a gift by NUS for my convocation since starting work. That was in July 08.

I was scheduled for a course in Jan 2010 and i was trying to flip to that page to write it down but I realised that page doesnt exist because I have already used up my organiser.... wa lao... 1 1/2 years have passed. Time flies. And time to get a new organiser.

Inspired by true events...

Parts of the following may have been altered for dramatic effect.

It was 6 in the evening and the sky had already turned dark. Not quite I'm used to back in Singapore. I had a few hours to kill before meeting the other delegates so i thought why not check out the night life of San Francisco. I mean, it's not every other day that i get to be in this vibrant city. Alone.

I passed by a bar, full of people. Wait dun these people need to work? Oh right it's a Saturday nite. You lose track on time whenever you are overseas. I walked right by the "bouncer"... well i said bouncer in inverted quotations because basically he's just a guy sitting on a stool checking ids.

"ID please".... i whipped out my licence.
"What the shit is this", his friend asked
"I'm from outta town".... i replied
"Ob-viously..." geez... when did guys get so bitchy. but i loved it "... alright you're good"

I headed right to the bar for a pre-dinner drink. I didnt actually plan on having dinner. I was looking at the fastest way to get high. "A pint of Stella please." I left a 5bucks for a 4.50 drink, hoping the bartender wouldn't think less of as Asian. A tip is a tip afterall.

I scanned the room. Wow. Pretty packed at 615pm. I took a quick walk at the dance floor and beelined to less crowded spot in the bar/club. There were 2 tables. The other was occupied. I headed straight for the other.

I felt a light tap on my shoulder. "Hey, how's it going?" "pretty good, you?" "yeah i'm fine yourself"

"You wanna join me?" "yeah sure".... i went over. "so ah... how are you doing" Shit... i've already asked that. "yeah i'm good" "So ah... what did you do today?" i quickly changed the topic, hoping my boo boo wasnt noticeable" "I cleaned my room." "no shit" i replied. "i'm M by the way" and "I'm C". And that's how it all started

M and I talked about everything under the sun. We talked about work "I'm a civil engineer, in town for a study trip" "No kidding. I studied that too... until i thought i didnt fit into the mould> I'm now in graphic designs.... i'm actually heading to a gallery at Geary later tonight for an art review. I write and art blog with my friends in my spare time"

The club was playing a whole chain of Britney songs.... M asked "so.... Christina, or Britney" " Hands down Britney. I was devastated when she didnt come to Singapore for her comeback tour" "No way. I come from Lousiana and we totally hate her... So.... kylie or Madonna" "Madonna.... i know you're gonna say Kylie but I love my skanks." "I love my skanks too" M said. I smirked. I really do love my skanks.

The conversation went on for the rest of the nite. M leaned in and said "Can i tell you a secret? I knew you were from out of town all along. Do you know why?" I shrugged.... "Because you dress too well to be from San Francisco".... "Really? Wow, i tot i was underdressed. I'm flattered." Thank god it was dark. i swear i was blushing like crazy.... M said, "yeah sometimes i wished the people dressed up more. i mean, people actually go out of the gym wearing the same clothes. I'm like "did you even SHOWER?".... A graphic designer with a sense of humour. I think I'm in love.

"Hey are you gonna get another drink? Cause I dun have to meet my frens for another hour", i said. "yeah sure, my frens just started on their dinner. I could use another drink" "What are you having?" (god I always wanted to say that) "Jack Sour" "Jack sour it is" (not knowing what the hell was that. apparently it's whisky and sour mix. It was good)

"There ya go" passing M the drink "my treat". M smiled, looking at me. "what cha looking at" "Nothing, i just think you are cute" Ok..... shoot me and kill me now please. This is unreal.

We talked some more and went to the dance floor. We danced to Janet and everything was going so well..... i glanced at my mobile. It was 830pm. damn. I have to leave. M saw me looking and asked. "you have to go" "yeah... i do. In a while".... that's when it happened. I looked into M's eyes, M looked into mine.... and we kissed. Right in the middle of the dance floor. It was magical.... like leprechauns dancing over a rainbow... white shiny unicorn galloping over the fields. I've always thought I would meet the perfect someone in the alleys of a grocery store, or in a line at starbucks. But hey, a club works too. Who am i to complain. I was too preoccupied, trying not expose myself as a prefect noob at kissing.

We hugged as the song lingered in the background. I could get used to this, i thought to myself. Why... why do I have to leave San fran. This is so unfair.

"I have to go" i said..... reluctantly "let's go together". We left the club... me a few feet in front of M. We didn't speak, knowing that the evening was ending. And then M pulled my hand and threw me back into those arms. We hugged and kissed. It was a hollywood moment that i could only dream of.... in my dreams. I melted.

We alighted at Powell station, walking towards Geary street. I had to meet my colleagues at the King of Thai Restaurant (geez. what a cliche) near Macy's which was near the gallery M was going to. We stopped at a junction. "I had a great nite. But i really gotta go"... "you have to be with your boss the WHOLE nite? Why can't i meet you after work?"

At this point i didnt know how to reply M. I really did enjoyed the past couple of hours. But deep down i know nothing will ever happen to this short lived fling of sorts. "I really can't. I'm sorry" was all i could answer.... I guess M got angry and M just walked away, and so did I.

All i thought while with my collegaues, was about how incredulous and surreal it has been and how incredibly retarded i was to not get M's number. After dinner (which i didnt even eat), I went back to the hotel and thought fuck it. I'm gonna go to that street and find M. So with a beer in one hand a s cigarette in another (for dramatic effect. the beer is real), i went round geary street at midnight looking for something that looked remotely like a gallery opening. What i didnt realise what that street was littered with galleries and most had already closed.

My hands were shivering from the cold, puffing on the cig and drinking the beer, like a hobo. That's it.... game over. Like a fairytale smashed into smithereens and coming to an abrupt halt.... My life as i knew it, was over. My one true love (naive and guillible i know) ... we will probably not meet again for the rest of our lives... and all i was left with was a first name and a drink called jack sour which I think is going to be the stick with me for the rest of my life.

The end.

After-thoughts

Dun think i'm gonna do a day by day recount of the past 12 days. dun have the time and dun have the energy. photos are up on facebook if u are interested.

The US was everything i'd imagined it to be. free, liberal, melting pot of different cultures, religion, people. I absolutely loved it.

I spent the first few days exploring the different districts and areas of san fran... chinatown, embacadero, the wharves, castro, alcatraz, golden gate. each area was so different but i felt extremely at ease with all...

Nearly got conned by a hobo the first day. Talked crap to me about helping child trafficking situation and shit and wanted to get me to "donate" money to him so that he can help them. What a load of bullocks. i just walked away. retard.

Alcatraz reminded me of KR. mainly because the cells reminded me of the rooms i used to stay in. they nicknamed different blocks.... like michigan Avenue, Broadway, the Cutoff... which was so cool. they even had a street called the C-D street. gotta love that.

I challenged myself to cycle to the golden gate bridge from fisherman's wharves. i mean, if those juveniles could do it, so can I right. So i did.... on a regular mountain bike. and omg was i horribly mistaken. i realised those yellow "bicycles" that they used were semi motorised and mine was just... well, not. i nearly died trying and i guess that caused my left sole to hurt the rest of the trip. and it was only day 2. all those walking/cycling up and down the hills was SERIOUSLY no joke.

The shopping was fantastic too.... ended up blowing erm.... 1500USD in total for expenses and shopping and they were mostly not for me. there goes my 13th month bonus.... Only bought sunglasses and one polo t for myself. SO SAD. One day i might just fly back to the US to shop for stuff ALL FOR MYSELF. I mean... i didnt even get to buy shoes..... :( the D&G ones I saw at bloomingdales were 300plus. i mean. how cheap is that.... hahaha. ok shuddap.

Met up with peter parker who brought me to San Jose in his pimp-ma-ride car.... hahaha. ok la his car quite chui. according to him. and in a mere 10months he has probably met up with 100 accidents and sent his car for repair 100times. He took me to cheesecake factory for dinner and then to a supposedly haunted house tour. which turned out to be TOTALLY lame. because it was so not scary with a gazillion tourists inside. Peter... so sad we didnt see ghost. :( Spent the nite at his frat house... haha looks like a frat house but his frens? totally not frat material. i swear peter please clean your toilet bowl. it's vomit inducing. BUT thanks for bringing me ard!!!!

New orleans was vastly different from San Fran in a good way. the birth place of jazz, rhythm and blues and gumbo. Slightly dodgier (too many niggas) but still extremely vibrant at nite. the french quarters bubbles with excitement everynite with its many pubs, strip tease joints and jazz... the many nites spent there were truly unforgettable. The intricate french balconies the awesome creole and cajun food.

It's amazing how the city manages to rebuild itself merely 4 years after Katrina hit... you wouldn't even have noticed the rampage done to the city... and its the determination of its people one should admire, pieceing together little by little what used to be.

I used to think i was a master at faking accents and deciphering them but i distinctly remember one nite at Popeyes (shuddap i was hungry, dun judge).... i was at the take out counter and a black nigga bitch asked me
"wudcha like sam sus wit tat"
"wut sus do you haf"
"wi haf kitchup and huut sus"
"what sus?"
"huut sus"
"ooooooh you mean HOT SAUCE"
totally embarrassed.

And the myth about black people having more booty. TOTALLY TRUE. i swear. those people have the hugest and perkiest ass on earth. even i cant beat them.

So yeah. USA. So cool. So sexciting. more stories to tell later.... lemme catch up on my tv now.

Celebrate good times COME ON! (part 2)

If you thought the party ended on Saturday.... u are so wrong.

Brunch on Sunday is simply divine.... Met up with my sec school classmates at PS Cafe at Dempsey (Sorry CT, Romanos have to wait for another special occasion)... Siwei asked me to reserve a table but I got all lazy and said "no need la no one will ever go to Dempsey on a Sunday afternoon"..... boy oh BOY was horribly mistaken. the ENTIRE PS Cafe was filled to the BRIM with ANGMOHS!!! Angmohs from UK, USA, France, Germany.... oh man can u imagine my excitement and going bonkers from hyperventilating at the sight of so many white colored people squeezed into one room. Its like my own private wet dream come true.

Ok.... as for the food.... it was quite pricey but what the heck la right. it's my bday i dun care. and the food was GREAT. it was SO good and the portions were.... GINORMOUS. Qing Yi got the Stacked Portobello with bacon and poached egg.

I got the Fish and Chips.... shuddap i know i am boring but i like fish and chips and the fries were fat like anything and the dips were yummy :)

Siwei got the steak sandwich which was very good as well.

And Carol went gay and ordered salad with some fish skewered by lemongrass.... can u say HAUTE CUISINE?

By the time we finished our mains we were so FULL we thought we shud only order one dessert (because the desserts come in giant sizes too)..... Our flourless orange cake with butterscotch and ice cream was out voted by the girls' double choclate BLACKOUT. I swear thats the name..... its like.... chocolate overdose and we finished it in like 5mins. BAM BAM BAM and GONE.
Really eat until too full sia.... see la how to get rid of stomach. i cannot resist food when it is right in front of me even though i am 110% full

Siwei capturing really unflattering photos of all of us in our bloatedness glory... hahaha. fatty bom boms. Loves it.

Was supposed to go zirca at nite but khalid pang seh-ed last minute.... so sad. the only days i can go clubbing on a sunday is when monday is a holiday. or when i am on leave.... DAMN IT. sian diao.

And that concluded my 3 days of binge eating and binge drinking.... until i arrive in the US of A and then i will go crazy again!! WOOHOOO!!! :))))))

Celebrate good times COME ON!! (now with new photos)

The long awaited Annual Dinner finally happened on Friday. GAME ON - RETRO FEVER!!

People who know me knows that i hate joining committees.... because they take up a LOT of time. Which was why i didnt join any comms in KR.... but oh wells. Back in Feb, i was still relatively free-r and i still didnt know a lot of people in my company.... i figured it might be a way to know more people. The things you do for work.... hahaha. Thank god I had Cameron with me the entire time so it made it more bearable.

I remembered the first meeting, the mood of the meeting was just so off cos all of us didnt really know each other.... but as time went by it actually became fun. I actually looked forward to meetings every Friday (partly also because i get to forget abt work for about an hour) and I really enjoyed the company of the people in the comm.

Like when we did the walkabout in September to promote the Dinner...

Cameron (in white) and Hanson (extreme right) who were part of the Gifts and Prizes team

Haha the walkabout was DAMN FUN!!! get to dress up on a work day....

And then dressing up AGAIN for the Don't Forget Ya Lyrics auditions :) Wah lao i think i am damn cute dun cha think? if only i am 5cm taller and 5kg lighter.... totally model material.

On Friday we went to Orchard hotel in the morning... unloaded some stuff and headed for AYAM PENYET at far east.... yumzzzz. the belachan super shiok sia..... burn my tongue. Den i didnt have any duty after that so me and cameron just slept the entire afternoon to "prep" for the long nite ahead haahah loves it. But i dunno why la i really cant sleep.... i think i am really old. So i woke up and did some last minute stuff for the luck draw prizes and went down to do some arranging.

Den time for DRESSING UP WHOOOOHOOOO! Dun u think i ROCKED the outfit?? Thanks siwei for the afro hahahah i think i used it more than u right :P Geek chic bowtie combo.... but probably cos i had to tuck the shirt, in my ass looked ginormous.....all that junk in the trunk.

With Vice Chair Ping Ping...

And Chairwoman Magdeline..... while waiting to escort the VVIPs.... mind you ok.... not VIP, its VVIP. that means.... JTC Chairman CEO and ex-CEO. Yeah i am an important man as well... I also had the previlege of holding the fish bowl for the lucky draw hahahah and the most embarrassing thing was... i was supposed to give the prizes to the CEO's wife to give to the winner.... but i was SO KANJIONG SPIDER and HALF DRUNK i went to give the winner myeslf....sia suey siaaaaaaaaaaa. BUt watever, i think they forgave me because of my cuteness...

I was screaming at Cameron the entire nite for forgeting to give the freebies to the winners. So the whole time i was scouring the entire ballroom for winners to give them their warranty cards and freebies and wat nots and the thing was i couldnt remember who sits where... so it was practically needle in a haystack task.... not eating at all and HALF DRUNK. not fun. Aye.....


With Elizabeth...
and Sue! whoa whoa... duncha think i look damn good. cannot take my eyes off myself.

OMG i couldnt even remember taking this photo!
Towards the end of the nite the entire ballroom danced to YMCA. high like anything. woohooo and the comm went on stage to dance.... got to show the entire world what i am made of hahaha. i'm a dancer... Get out of my elitist stage. HAHAHA.

And then so funny, i was holding the fish bowl for the 3rd to 10th prize and the emcee called out my name and i was like WHAT THE FUCK..... so i kan jiongly passed the bowl to my fren. We had to play the prize is right!! SO FUN RIGHT! we were shown a pic of a 1957 telephone and asked to guess the price.... so i was like what the shit i cant think straight WAKE UPPPPPP. so since i was turning 26 so i just anyhow wrote $265...... and i got the 2nd closest ok!!!! MAI SIAO SIAO hahahha so i won 5th prize a camcorder which cost ard 900bucks..... i know because i bought it. with my credit card hahahahhaa.

YAY A JOB WELL DONE!!!

Whacked more whisky and wine and mamboed more for the rest of the nite.... saw a few of my directors boogie... and i am still trying to get that image out of my head. hahahah. Was already 1130pm and i was supposed to meet Andi and the 2nd floorers at his house for more alcohol.... but i really couldnt take it. i was practically dragging myself to the taxi stand. i even told the uncle... "uncle i wanna die already can u hurry up plsssssss"

And i did die in Andi's house... couldnt remember anything that happened.... i just slept the entire nite away.... feeling very cold and waking up sporadically and answering questions i was being asked. and then fall back down to sleep. GG. old fart.

Saturday went to eat at Bugis with my family with a massive hangover... couldnt really eat much cos i didnt have appetite but the food at Iluma was NOT GOOD. disappointing...... went back home after that to sleep more to "prep"for the nite in hall... (its times when u have to actually sleep to prep for the nite that u realise u are no longer young. GG)

Alexis asked me to go back hall because she wanted to give me in her own words "a big present.... CAN U COME PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" yes with a lot of S-es. So duh right... of cos i knew something was up. So do forgive me if my reaction wasnt what u guys expected. HAHAHA. NO but really.... althou my face didnt show it, i was REALLY very touched that ma babies went thru all the trouble to have a surprise bday celebration.... even to the extent of decorating the dance room, cooked food and blew 1000 balloons amidst the exams looming in the corner... i have trouble expressing gratitude and appreciation. i swear. its something i have to work on. i am cold hearted that way.

Still waiting for more pics to come but here some teasers....

we werent really that drunk and frankly i wasnt thinking of drinking too much either becuase of the headache.... sometimes it's just nice to have nice music (shuddap guys my Xmas music rocks), nice fake disco ball lighting and good conversation..... the xmas songs reminded me of snow... and fireplace in a nice big room. and wine.... omg you guys..... we should totally travel somewhere with snow in a couple of years when all of u start working and have $$.... den we can make snow angels and snowman with snow falling from the sky and at nite we can toast marshmellows and drink wine and eat strawberries and have heart to heart talk.... (sorry imagination going wild). I think it will be SO MUCH FUN.

Called it an early nite since everyone was so tired.... took a lot of family photos... thats how we like to end our outings.... so cute right.

Thanks again for putting in so much effort.... i appreciate it :)

Yeah ok i think i will stop blogging for now.... write too much. wanna die already. Part 2 coming up in a couple of days :) tmr no work super shiok. can finally rest at home after 2 consecutive late nites....

DRAMA MAMA!!!! but happy like HUMMINGBIRD!!

YAY! So happy!!! Best week EVER.

I took my ippt today which was like SO DRAMA. First of all i must say it is freaking RIDICULOUS that the guard room at a certain camp (that starts with an "M" and ends with a "U") is totally unhelpful. All camera phones have to be locked up in a locker outside the camp before proceeding in la. This guy didnt have coins and i also used up mine so he asked the guard room whether they can change coins for him but the guard room guy said "sorry we cant change for you" den the person said "so u cant change for me, but i have to put my phone in the locker, but i dun have coins, so what do u want me to do? Can i just walk in?".... den the guard room guy said "no cannot u have to go outside and change"... at this point i was feeling damn sorry for this person cause hello... there isnt a shop around within a one km radius. i think the guard room guy is just damn BO LIAO..... retard.

So anyway... i walked in and guess who i saw.... LUAH!!! so happy got someone familiar to take ippt with me. ahahha den i realised his birthday was also coming.... everyone just waits till the last moment to take their ippt la. Ok yeah.... i was feeling confident.... and its the first time i am in CAT Y, can u believe it.... SO damn FARKING old. but watevs, cos that means it's easier for me to get silver!!

I breezed thru all the static stations.... like omg shuttle run (puh-lese sprinting also wanna test me. try harder), sit ups.... chin ups, SBJ.... ALL SO easy.... while Luah was basically there just to fail and take attendence (oh and i didnt know the IHL exempt for RT is no longer valid..... sorry for those suckers who are still studying)

Den it was time to run 2.4km.... i swear. i hate to run. even thou i run every other week but i really hate to be timed. cos i will panic. But... i have faith in myself. So i happily plugged in my mp3 (because i am so used to running with music in my head) and played After school's Amoled (Ct and Alexis would be SO proud)..... den off i went. ok la... first 200m not so bad.... den suddenly my right calf started to cramp. BAM! I was like what the fuck this is not happening to meeeee...... i have to complete this stupid 2.4km run. if not i have to go RT which is SO embarrassing... the cramp went away as soon as it came so i tot i was just scaring myself ....

Den 20m later BAM BAM it came back FUZOKCHARBEEHOOOOON. this CANNOT BE. wah lao i was really starting to panic because i havent even finish 400m and my right calf was like punk'd-ing me.....i really tot i am DOOMED for sure... have to retake my ippt before i fly off to USA..... so i was slowed down a little.... trying to test water see if it still cramps.... i was literally praying to Jungah and Gahee to gimme strength. i fucking have to finish this. My first round's timing was 1min 42sec..... ok la not too bad, can run slower a bit and hope it recovers and i can catch up later.....

AND IT DID!!! it stopped cramping!! YAHOOOOO. i think i rock. and then it was NON STOP AFTER THAT..... i played all my ho-ish skanky songs like Madonna and Sexy Bitch (akon) totally flying thru'out the course..... i LOVE skanky songs cos it makes me run faster. HAHAHAHHA. YAY so in the end my timing was 11min 42 secs and that means i got silver which also means............. I AM 200BUCKS RICHER.. WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I think i am so gonna get myself new specs.... and i am left with ONE MORE DAY of work tmr before i am having a short 2 1/2 weeks break YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! FUCKING HAPPY LIKE HUMMINGBIRD.

time for my mid-week drink!! :)))))))

so ridiculous

dun understand. ok shuddap.

on a seperate note.... have i been whining too much lately? If i have i do apologise. Besides my aching back (i even have to resort to taking painkillers), i am actually i'm feeling GREAT. This week should fly by quite quickly and i am off from work for 2 weeks after that.... it feels like Xmas already! There's even a lightness in my steps as i go to work everyday.

BYE!!

The one with the dinner planned 2 weeks in advance

uh huh. 2 weeks gestation. like having baby. keep changing time and meeting place. gotta love ma frens.

didnt wanna stay at home any longer so i went out to find new glasses.... cos i'm bored of my red glasses. but all the shops were selling ugly black frames. so i went PS first, wanting to walk over to cathay to get movie tickets for the nite..... and the fantastic thing was.... it was RAINING and POURING like mad and i was wearing my pedro shoes..... sigh. i think i have been abusing my loafers. it was soaked and i was so upset. but nevermind. i can buy shoes in US.

So i got stuck at PS and i walked ard and saw this uber nice raybans glasses. 400plus. FML. why do i have such good taste..... AYE. tried on a million sunglasses and i think the shop assistant was diao-ing me. but who cares. i looked hot and he does not. The rain became slight drizzle so i ran to cathay. I love the shops at cathay... cos they are, let's just say. unorthodox..... there's this furniture shop inside that sells the coolest sofas and sofa beds. so chic. i think if i got money i will splurge on my house and make everything uber zen and chic so i can have house parties..... but that has to wait till i am 35. damn it.

Decided to just stay put at cathay since we didnt know where to eat yet.... waited for like ONE MILLION YEARS for those 4 bitches to come. dun understand..... why the person who takes mrt is always the first one to arrive. tsk. time management seriously. i was fuming already. like really fuming... but aiyah watever, it was all gone when i saw them. in the end they wanted to eat at pomo (potong steam to the max.... dress so nice go and eat at POMO you mei you gao cuo). but ok la... the ramen was not bad. and cheap. so watevs....

walked to timbre in the rain.... dismas carrying his lace-y unbrella. gotta love that. gayness to the maxness. realised that there was another flight of stairs at the condo leading up to mount sophia... so the one at cathay was the wrong one all along cos its GOD DAMN SMELLY. we learn new things everyday.... after climbing up mount doom, we tot we were safe until we saw that the path was FLOODED with water. like seriously flooded to the ankles for a stretch of 15metres. ma de i tot this time confirm gg.... have to turn back. but we decided to just take out our shoes and wade thru it... which turn out to be quite fun!!! we even took emo shot. sorry for the poor quality.

so we got to timbre at 915pm. happy hour ended at 9pm. FML. and there were NO SEATS cos the boss isnt smart enuff to extend the tent to the outside.... retard. and everyone was squeezed into the interior. sian. so we stood ard for like 15mins until we cannot take it and decided to... SIT IN THE RAIN! hahaha. ok la. it was more of a drizzle by then so its fine. the timbre wings was like. omg. awesome. and the duck pizza is omg. even more awesome... cant believe it was my first time eating it. whack like siao... there goes my hot bod. (omg before i forget i weighed myself at my uncles house in the morning and it was 72.8kg!!! SO HAPPY!!!! first time my weight is below 73kg. *pats self on back)

waited till 11 before making our way down to cathay to watch..... JENNIFER"S BODY which i knew would be a spastic shows cos all megan fox's movies are.... but omg. it was even lamer that i thought it would be... its NOT scary at all. it was so lame and quite funny during certain parts. "do u have a tampon?" - best moment of the nite. laugh like fuck cannot take it.... so we bid adieu after the movie and went back home.... sian another weekend gone like that

Another busy busy week ahead for meeee..... gotta take ippt. aye. pray for me i havent been running for 2 weeks. i hope i still have it in me to get silver. i need the 200bucks DESPERATELY. its the first time my bank acct has dwindled to 3 digits and i MAXED OUT my citibank credit card..... (maxed out as in $6400) its FREAKING me out. ok la.. i bought a lot of prizes for my D&D but my claims better be processed quickly otherwise i will have no money to spend in US.

and i dunno what is wrong with my eyelids.... it has been twitching for the past week. i know no one misses me that much. so its either someone has been cursing me or i am too damn stressed..... :( ok.... thats all.

PAINTBALL!!!

Finally the paintball session which took so long to realised, finally happened today!! SUPER FUN!!!

Before that on Saturday, I lugged my lazy ass to Orchard to buy my winter wear.... and also some vouchers for my company's annual dinner lucky draw.... see i am so hardworking. working for D&D on a saturday...... went to robinsons to purchase $1860 bucks worth of vouchers. MA DE. i was so afraid i was going to lose it i kept staring at my bag the every 5 secs.

spotted a really nice jacket from Pull & Bear which was nicer than the one from Zara. LOVES IT. damage to the wallet $229. WOOHOO!! Passed by Wisma to watch the flash mob.... which turned out to be not really a flash mob cause people obviously knew about it... the crowd actually formed a square in the middle of the pavement.... a bit lame. I tot the one at Raffles was nicer. at least the people got space to dance.... ok watevs.

By the time that ended it was 7pm. Didnt wanna go back home so early so went back hall (dun judge) to drink beer and eat sausage with Alexis bitch. gotta love that! I think the 5th floor girls must be thinking i have something going on with alexis.... cos i always go back and find her. but it is SO NOT TRUE. nothing going on. nada. i'm just bored. Went back home at 10pm cos gotta wake up early on Sunday. super disciplined. cannot take it.

Woke up at a god forsaken hour of 730am to prepare.... but of cos that jibai FK aka the woman, took 100 years to come fetch me to turf city. ma de. make me wake up so early.... and made us late. Changed into our army faitgues.... and TADA!!!!

mai siao siao.... gotta love it. only weijie and i wore full army uniform... which turned out to be quite stupid cos our boots are like HOW HEAVY..... run like siao. sweat like mad. super fun like anything..... wah paintball is seriously quite fun. but really tired man. we only played 5 games, partly because we finished our 2000bullets but also because we were out of breath even after the first game. u can literally hear yourself panting inside the mask. we only had 7 people. if only there were 8 or 10 people that would be PERFECT!

I think we should do this once in a while cos it is seriously fun!!! and of cos, if you have 70bucks to spare. HAHAHHA. (2nd floorers we shud totally do this!!) Leave u with a picture of a fierce shot of us. i have never looked more butch. broken doll POW>!!!!

blah

the good news is i think my sickness has gone away. the bad news is..... i have no plans for the weekend because i was too ill to do anything about it.... except for sunday. paintball plus watching ma bitches perform at esplanade.... so sad. so sad. so sad. who wants to date me tmr nite!?!?! im still free!!!! i dun wanna stay at home!!

left with 2 1/2 weeks to my US trip and i havent bought ma winter wear. slightly freaking out. BCA havent sent me the work folder for me to read.... aye. and i have been slacking at work this whole week because of D&D stuff..... plus the fact that i came home early on 2 days because of mc. what a bad bad week.

realised a 21 year old neighbour passed away after getting into an accident. not very close to him. actually i didnt even knew who he was when i passed by his wake downstairs until i asked my mother who that person was.... cos i saw many young people attending, so must be someone young who died la right. so sad right.... dead at 21. can u IMAGINE. like BAM. here one second and gone the next. and then i started thinking how it would feel like to die. and if anyone who ever attend my wake. WHAT iF i get knocked down by a bus and my phone gets smashed in the process of getting hit. my parents dunno any of my frens number.... who the fuck would come to my funeral.

And what would my eulogy be like. "oh my god he was a royal pain in the ass" or "he was a bitch"..... not very pleasant right. aiyah watevs.

And tempers are running high in my family cos all 3 of us have been/are sick these past 4 days. and being sick brings out the worst in people. i realised everyone in my family is a big fat DIVA. i mean.... i no need to say la.... i am the diva. take for example my mother

mum "go and clean ur room"
me "but its not dirty what. "
mum "you live in my house so u do as i say"
DIVA.

and my dad who plonks himself on the couch after dinner and will never EVER go answer the phone, even though 100% of all the calls are either for him or my mother. NO ONE EVER CALLS ME AT HOME. i have to answer it, bring it to him all the way from the 2nd floor to the first. DIVA. fuck this shit.

my sister.... let's not even get to her. luckily she is no longer staying with us.... otherwise, 4divas in one household is waaaaaaaaaaay too many.

aiyah.... so how. who wants to date me tmr.... i dun wanna stay at home!!!!! :((((((((((

Barf

My whole family is sick. First my dad who had stomach flu for the past 3 days. Den my turn to kena, today my mother also kena..... the virus is damn potent. Felt like dying last nite. downed some medcine and went to sleep at 1030pm (!!) Kept vomiting and passing out water. all the fluids just kept coming out. felt so hot and dehydrated and i didnt eat anything for about 30 hours (besides some grapes). Stomach flu is the best way to detox man.....

went to see doctor this morning and promptly bought a sausage mcmuffin with egg and gulped it down in 3mins. loves it.

The war is ON

Yay so this weekend wasnt so bad afterall..... after 2 consecutive weeks of uneventful blah, finally have something to talk abt.

Friday went to orchard to shop for my winter wear. uh huh. gotta love it right.... shopping for winter wear right smack in the heat of summer. shuddap dun be hatin. Found a super nice tweed grey jacket from zara... think i'm gonna buy that one.... was at ion orchard trying to act atas in my fake ralph lauren t and chui nike bag.... went inside D&G and was just minding my own busines... den i saw this jacket it looks so shiny and nice i nearly died and when i touched it felt so light. goddess of fashion kill me now. As no one was inside the shop besdies me, so naturally all eyes (of the shop assistants) were on me. felt so paiseh i didnt even dare to look at the price tag. i just ran for my life feeling oh so paiseh.

Den i realised carrie underwood was going to perform at ion and they sealed off like all entrances and shit and it made me wonder how many people were actually going to die if there was a fire. no one can run out. i tot i could sneak a peek but alas there were a gazillion people and it was SO HOT so i went to GAP instead. I have been eyeing the 1969 jeans for the longest time. i took the skinny jeans. i wanted to go try it. my mind said yes but my body said no (cos i have fat thighs and even fatter waistline)..... but mind truimphs body. Went to try them and me thinks i faboo in them.... think i am going to lose weight and get one of those as well. ahhh the power of 600 free bucks.

quick detour to cold storage to grab some sausages (jacksonville sausges ROCKS. and they have chilli cheese and jalepeno and cheese. gon try them next time!), wine, erdinger for the bitch and den some strawberries to, well.... counter the effects of the previous 3 items. Den i went back to hall (shuddap, no judging) to find the bitch to whack those stuff.... seriously. dining in restaurants and pubs are so overrated.... just DIY yourself. same satisfaction, same company for half the price.

Talked to the 2nd floorers for like a grand total of 5mins.... talk until very happy but dunno what exactly happened.... all of them went into the lounge filled with people i dunno so i obviously i didnt follow. dismas went back into his room and in about a nanosecond i was stranded in 2nd floor. so weirdly awkward. i stunned for about 3 seconds cos i didnt know what to do so i just went home. reality check.... and mate. fuck my life...... as i was walking out i felt like i was having a walk of shame moment.... like maciam had one nite stand the nite before and then going home the morning after, feeling like shit. HAHA. shuddap i am strong.

Sat went swimming... woohoo so healthy. had a good (over)dosage of vitamin d and looking great with my tan now. went to meet bonan and weijie at tampines mall to indulge in some vices and talked for till 2am. (realised tampines has absloutely no wind at nite and i was sweating insanely inside my tshirt)..... we FINALLY planned our paintball session...... The war is on.... it's on like donkey kong. u bitches better be ready on sunday. omg i cant wait....

and we talked abt how we have known each other for over 12 years but never travelled together.... the TRAVESTY. so we discussed about going bkk (yuck) or phuket for like 3 or 4 days.... but since we are like all working, everyone has constraints right:

Weijie "eh i can only go during school holidays" (cos he is a teacher)
Me "so that means either only dec or next june right"
Weijie "eh but i cant, this dec"
Bonan "and next june i also cannot"
Me "so we are like talking about next dec? what the fuck is this... ma de talk so early for what, next year then say la"

Gotta love working life.

And if I asked would you say yes?


The more i watch this video, the more i feel depressed...

1 don't know but I believe
That some things are meant to be
And that you'll make a better me
Everyday I love you
I never thought that dreams came true
But you showed me that they do
You know that I learn somethng new
Everyday I love you
'Cos I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul.
It's a touch when I feel bad
It's a smile when I get mad
All the little things I am
Everyday I love you
Everyday I love you boy
Everyday I love you
'Cos I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul
If I asked would you say yes?
Together we're the very best
I know that I am truly blessed
Everyday I love you
And I'll give you my best
Everyday I love you

so after siwei left, i went to sleep and felt so fat when i woke up i went to run. been EONS since i last ran in the open. i have been running in the gym and truth be told, gym is too gay. where got people run in aircon. and also i need to start training for ippt. so i better run outside.

came home, alexis bitch asked me to set up twitter acct, which i tot was SO LAME cos its just like facebook, only with the status function. but, she peer pressured me to, and BAM, now i am a twit. hahaha twit. pretty sure thats not the term. and then she asked me to go link it to my blog and as u know i am a techno phobe and i DUNNO how to do all these shit. i mean, it was quite an acheivement for me to put chatbox in my blog already. and now she wants me to add what shit gadget and then... erm customize my blog. i tried for about ten minutes and i GAVE UP cos it was so difficult.

In the end i accidentally deleted my chatbox (sobs) and made a mess out of my right sidebar. fed up sia. i just gave her my email and password and asked her to "deal with it" and make it right. hahha. she's ma slave. yay so now i have twitter updates (which i am SURE i wun be using cos, like i said, ITS SO LAME)

ok.... thats all for now. CIAO!

healthy living.... lest the KFC

So you know how i was complaning i am so unhealthy.

Today is JTC's Active day and i was the only brave soul from my division to enter the open cat of the vertical marathon at Fusionopolis. At first i tot ok la only 22 floors. I stay on 10 floor and sometimes i walk up the stairs and its ok. but today at the briefing they said "it is equivalent to 36 HBD storeys" GG FML. and there were only 9 guys stupid enuff to take part in total.... i almost died-ed at the 10 floor. my legs were GONE. i was practically pulling myself using the railing. den you know whats WORSE. I overshot the 22 storeys and went all the way to the roof cos the exit sign was SO MISLEADING. KNN den when i was at the roof i was like how come got no body one siaaaaaaaaaa. den i realised i missed the exit. FML. and i ended up being the slowest cos i was smart enuff to run extra floors.

DEN never mind. i took part in the RELAY vertical marathon summore after that. WHY? cos my lousy division no one wanted to join. so i self sacrifice right. ma de. but ok la... its only 5 floors per leg. I realised its much better taking 3 steps per jump. so much easier. shud have done that during the open cat.

The entire event ended quite early so i went Vivo to nua a while before heading to yoga.... since i just climbed 41 floors i decided to treat myself to KFC!!! LOVES IT. whack like mad. and my yoga was 2 hours away. went to starbucks to take a short nap and den off i went to yoga. which was madness as usual. really wanted to die inside sia.

After yoga, went to airport to send janelle off to UK, while looking like a HOT MESS cos i was sweaty and i was wearing the most mismatched shit cos i just came from exercise right. felt so self conscious.

yeah so after a long day. i feel so super healthy but uber tired. SOOOOO looking forward to my mid week drink tmr. CHARDONNAY HERE I COME!!!

my life's a mess...

Yeah. it is. i havent been exercising as much as i hoped. i am always SUPER tired by 6pm so i rarely head to the gym now. i skipped yoga on tuesday cos i ended work early. at 5. and yoga was at 730pm. i didnt know where to go rot before that. and it would be stupid reach home 6 and then leave for yoga again at 645pm.... so i decided to just go home. period. and then go run or something. den amazingly, it started to rain when i got home so. no need to run. thank god. i was secretly happy cos that means i can spare my legs the torment.

finally hauled my ass to the gym on thursday. i used to run 4km or around 22mins. i ran 2km in slightly over 10mins and i gave up. i felt so heavy and i didnt have the motivation to continue. FML. not even blasting madonna from my mp3 helped. i worked out a little and then i just went home. defeated. Geez. and i got to take my ippt on Nov 2. better wake up my idea pronto. :(((((

Remember that post about losing weight? and hitting 71kg by oct??? aint gonna happen baby. cos its 4 days to Oct and I am still 73.5kg. it's only possible if i get massive food poisoning from now till then. BUT at least i didnt gain. guess the dieting is working (sort of). less carbs man.

ok so... Friday morning i had to wake up at 6am cos we had to go down to Jurong Island to help out with the completion ceremony. been ages since i woke up at 6am.... i think wat, JC? who wakes up at 6am man. i tot there would be seats on the mrt at that time but NO. ma de. impossible man. so i drove the site vehicle down to JI and i think my superb driving skills are coming back to me slowly but surely. WAs assigned to do traffic control at the site and my god. it was damn hot. i was sweating like mad looking like a hot mess. luckily i was smart enuff to choose a shirt that doesnt change color when i sweat. i mean, sweaty pit stains are NOT PRETTY.

Wanted to go hang out in town by myself before heading to acid bar but waking up at 6 screwed everything up and i was so disgustingly sticky so i decided to just go home first. And whats a friday ntie without a bottle of nice cold chardonnay ALL TO MYSELF. loves it. I was half drunk by the time i got to acid bar to celebrate niang niangs bday.

Whacked another pint and a half of erdinger and ate chicken wings and leftover PEKING duck. rocks to the maxness.... whacked her bday cake (caramel sea salt cheesecale from cedele) and then felt fat.... my head started rolling (a sign that i am drunk and tired) and i was almost gone. I was so gg that i used ct's hair to floss my teeth.... gotta love that. hair floss works. just saying.

Den we also saw sherry who was celebrating her bday too. been eons since i saw her. shili and some rastafarian guy was performing at acid bar so we headed in. poor boy was looking so tired and he was sick. so we went home after a while.

Saturday was like BORING TO THE MAX cos i stayed home. like omg. how loserly is that. spent the entire day watching all the new shows from US. wanted to read ma book but fell asleep after 10mins. helped mas tranfer songs into his e71 after waking up and THATS IT. walked to 711 to buy the new Style Men but realised 711 is NOT SELLING yet so...FML. i bought an iced tea from macs instead. so haps. cannot take it.

probably not going to do anything on sunday too so there ya go. my absolutely boring weekend.

Anyway i am no longer going vietnam cos apparently i am too junior to attend conference alone.... but i can still go US so i am not complaining. i was just looking forward to having a short break. looks like i have to wait till Nov.... sian. nov hurry up come pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee.
