My co's xmas dinner coming, i believe its e same as everyone on the 22nd. Luckily no need go somewhere, except to take a lift down a few storeys and take e stairs to our function room (e only place wif internet access, lol), no need to dress up (hack, im going to attend wif watever i wore to work tt day). I hope there wun be much of silly games coz i am so not interested.
Yes, i am passive and boring. Cannot ar? Im saying tis, but perhaps i would still enjoy it, since i will be able to spend some last moments wif my whole grp. Its hard to gather all of us together, and tis is a gd chance since all of them will turn up as instructed without me bearing e agony of being e organiser. Tis might even be the final chance for us, be4 we all start leaving next mth.
My supervisors kept reminding us to go though, lol. They say its going to be interesting and food is going to be gd, but like always, we all dun buy tt. Lol.
Did a draw and found out the person whom ive got to prepare a gift for. And the irony is, hes not even in my departmt, i haf no idea who e hell he is. Fortunately, i managed to find a suitable (in my opinion) gift yest. Poor SZ co gift gift budget is $50, luckily mine is minimum 5 bucks. My prev co was $10.
I bought it 50% cheaper at tis place and on top of tt, i had a 20% off. Muahahha... I kinda like e gift myself too, but as usual, i will not buy it. I am happy coz its within my budget and i thot its pretty decent too.
Clocks, frams, towels, chocs are banned for our gifts, they said some ppl complained a few yrs back.
I wan to get some stuffs for my colleagues too. Sigh i am so going to be broke. I shd be settling for some chocs or cookies. Haven decided on the brand though.
I also need to get gifts for sz, my sis, 2 of my colleagues and many small gifts for other colleagues.
Yest i went to Cine's Pandora Box or something and saw so many necklaces tt i would love to own. No in fact, there are so many necklaces tt i love in cine itself. I still wan a 1 or 2 gb sd card and my mp3 player batt but tt comes later, or u can get it for me for xmas. Haha.
My perfume is running but my sis is getting for me. So happy.
Getting my pay tis thurs. I feel like going on a shopping spree, been so long since i last done tt. Recently i spent all my money on food and alcohol. Sigh. Lol.
Went to Taste Paradise the other day. And spent 100 bucks each... But im still glad i went there, after so long. Though it burnt a hole in my pocket.
I wan to spend some money to pamper myself, but then if i no job then how? Sigh, i noe i need to haf some money to tide myself over a certain period. But then my high expenses isnt going to help, and i haf no intention of making myself miserable by cooping myself at home everyday.
I jus wan to make myself happy, tts y i spent all those money. I do not wish to feel restricted at tis pt of time (when i am having a difficult time) jus coz i haf to think of so many things and stop myself fr going/eating at some places.
I just wan to go wif the flow now. I dun wan to be so hard on myself and make the already very miserable me even more miserable.
I feel like getting some things for myself.
1) 1 pair of jeans in blue (i only haf 1 in black now)
2) New heels - white, black, gold, green, pink (all my shoes wearing n tearing n smelling n dirtying, basically at risk of falling apart any second)
3) New clothes
4) Earrings (ive stopped wearing earrings, i need new ones, big long ones and those big retro kind)
5) Moisturisor (it ran out)
But be4 all tt, i need to dye my hair and haf a hair cut. I haven decided on the hair style though, headache. The colors i haf the idea, jus not so sure whether or not accepted at work. Lol. It might also hinder my job search but I wan a change.
I will not quit my job now, i will stay till end of jan. But i might continue to stay there for awhile. I will hold out till all of them leave at least. So i will tahan till 30/01/07 then see how from there.
Marvin, Sheena, Daniel and Chris will be leaving early jan, Gim Fong and Keith near end of Jan. Wendy will be staying, thankfully on tt, at least i dun haf to lunch alone, and we sit next to each other somemore.
Not so sure abt Seraphine and Meng Feng and Ken. I guess they shd be sticking ard for awhile.
Sigh, but those tt are very close to me will be gone. And i only haf Wendy. Sobz. Ppl all leave at the end of the day, especially in customer service where turn over rate is as high as sales line.
Truth is ppl come and go at the time. Its ok lah, jus take it in my stride.
If i can, hope i can survive here for awhile and then take part time studies. After im done then i can leave for greener pasture le. But all these are merely words. It a miracle to even think i can stay till end March. But i will try. =)
Xmas is nearing and i still have not decided on wat to do wif SZ yet. We'll definately be together but do wat? Lol. See how lor. I wonder wats everyone doing for xmas.

Tough Week
Really wasted my mc on tues.
Went to newton wif my colleagues on wed. Like wat my colleague said, next time dun waste time organising anymore, coz its so sian anyways. Waste of time, jus e usual grp of us will do.
The food was bad for e stall we picked. Sigh. We then headed to ktv, opened a bottle of chivas, and had to do wif coke as mixer... Can u imagine, they only haf coke, green tea or tonic. Wat choice did we haf.
It was quite frustrating coz in a big grp, some only sing, some sing n drink alittle, some sing n drink alot, some no drink n no sing, some drink alot but no sing, how to settle e bill lidat.
Ended up there were some dispute, and its quite saddenin for one to even sms me, "next time wan to ask us pay, jus say, its not like we or i dun wan to pay"... Duhz, he totally misunderstood my words as usual. Its not like i haf any prob in asking them for money on behalf, its jus tt i haf no idea how to split the bill to be fair for all.
Ended up, my colleague offered to pay the whole 200 bucks bill coz he said every time tok abt money sure dispute, so he rather settle it. Tis is jus so not the right way.
Anyways, tt was history. I wun bring it up again. Anyways, our times together ending soon as well. 1 leaving tis dec, 3 leaving early jan, 1 leaving end jan, and e rest kiving the status. I am so going to miss a few of them.
How i wish the job could be more bearable so tt we could extend our time there. But in reality, things dun work tt way.
I tok to my ex colleague of my prev company. They are still interested in having me back and might be willing to wait till feb as well. I was tempted to say yes. But then again, i need to think it thru.
Quitting after my confirmation, i would need 1 mth's notice, and tt would leave it as march. Wait till tt long? I hardly think so. But I might not even get to wait till then, if they ask me to leave, it shd be ard jan. But tt would mean the paying back of money of coz.
On thurs, i met up wif kenneth and sz. Headed to bishan's dome, then cafe cartel then to amk's kbox. They were having 40% off everything coz it was duno wat anniversary celebration thingy. Not tt i care, coz i hate kbox. Their system, room, songs, tv, suck. But their service is gd though, and tts their only saving grace.
It was so boring can. And freezing and their systems and mic cock up so many times. The ktv was so boring even kenneth agreed. Luckily i decided to end it early, if not can die lor.
Kenneth's going india for 6 mths for exchange programme (his uni thingy). Wish him all the best and may he rtn safe n sound.
Then at night i was attacked by stomach cramps (gastric), it got very bad, the cramps come every 3-5 mins ard 4+am. I went to take a whole truckload of pills and the cramp slowed down to ard once every 15mins.
I headed to work on fri. Tried to work, but cant take the cramps, went to see doc, took e most painful jab ive ever taken. Doc said the jab will stop the spasms. But apparently, it was all crap.
I came back to work for abt an hr, i couldnt take it anymore, and had to leave. Yes, i took mc. Wasted half of my day working. Coz in the end, i got to pay back a full day's pay. Can it get any worst.
While i was away seeing doc, i saw my shitty cases bounched to another 2 colleagues. Sigh, i haf no idea wat will happen after i leave. But my colleagues said fortunately they r leaving together or be4 me anyways. Lol.
4 mcs altogether, sobz. 1 in dec though. Abt $300 bucks. Will try not to mc anymore.
I am still sick, can feel my stomach very wounded... Its still painful. No appetite to read also. Sigh. And now my digestive system cant retain or digest food. So wat goes in comes out, u noe wat i mean.
Tmr mon le... Full 5 days of working, provided if i dun work on sat though.
Must tahan!!! 1.5 weeks left to pay day. So broke now. Sobz.
Oh, my monitor died on my yest night. Got a new one today. LG LCD 17 inch, $200+. I really cant live without my pc. Was so happy to see it alive again.
Hope i feel better tmr.
Take care all of u.

Rain Of Glass
I guess i will not quit end of tis yr at the end of e day, might even be able to pull thru my confirmation, but tts if im strong enuff, otherwise it will be byebye jan07.
Not like its so easy anyways, dec n jan r 2 crucial mths for e company to ask u 2 leave. We wouldnt get any bonus if they ask us to leave any day next mth, n u would jus wonder y e hell u tolerated all e crap n shit for.
Unless i noe e exact kind of jobs to look for next n actually make myself do it, i will jus bump ard in tis job 1st though its going to be super lonely coz they r all leaving...
I am rather close wif some of them, and though im trying not to get attached to them, things jus happened. And i noe becoz of tt i will feel sad when they leave but hey, tts life. Nothin is forever. I kinda like some of them though we didnt spend alot of time together. Some r nice n sweet at times, while some r... nvm...
I also need to noe whether will i be able to survive without them after they left. I wan to noe how far i can tolerate in tt circumstance. If i cant i'll jus leave as well. But at least a few will still be ard though, so its not tt bad i guess.
They hired another batch of newbies. Its kinda strange n amazing at the same time how many ppl came n left. Its like u will wonder how many ppl actually worked in tis co. be4. Lol
Coz of my work location, it jus so happened one day me n colleague hopped to acid bar on a sudden decision and ive been hangin ard there ever since. I did try to stop going there last week, lol, coz its drying my bank. But i went there again twice tis week.
And every time i go there, i will definately bring a new person there.
Yest i brought SZ there, then saw Kenneth who i reprimanded for not contacting me for 1.5 yrs. Lol. He was wif a grp of frenz, Jiayi, Sheena, Salley, Meiyue.
Oh and then something happened also. The customers above me knocked the glass off the table, shattered and rained directly on me. I was shock and the bar froze. Everyone working there was very worried but fortunately i wasnt injured.
It was all within a split second, i heard glass shattering and the next moment i realised i was showered by the glass pieces. I touched my hair and dropped the pieces. Its not the bar's fault. And they haf been very nice to me as well. It jus e dumb customers who didnt even apologise sincerely.
I was still very nice n polite n i did not pursue at all. I was in a gd mood. So i jus let it be.
Will be meeting Kenneth wif SZ again tis comin thurs coz hes leaving for India in dec for half a yr.
Start of a new week again. 6 days of ... Sigh, nvm i will not think abt it.

Tuesday Bluez
Yo yoz. Surprise surprise...
I am so tired but i dun feel like slpin. Duno y leh. I noe if i now jus rest myself alittle i would fall aslp immediately... But i dun wan to. Dun wan my night to jus go lidat. I am mad i noe.
Strangely, i developed tuesday bluez after tis job. Somehow tues seemed to be so much more miserable than mons which of coz doesnt seem to be tt way for the rest. Perhaps like one of my colleagues who mentioned, its due to my retardation. lol.
But really mah, mon still ok de lor, but tues is like shit lor. Mon i very hyper de though lack of slp. But tues i am like dead fish.
Today, forgetting tt it was tues and i was in gd mood. I went wif a very goofy mood. Actually i noe where tt goofiness came fr lah, jus tt i wun say it here...
I was happy and filled wif energy. But then hor, when it came to lunch time, my energy suddenly all drained away. Lol. I found it very hard to concentrate and time crawled. I told tt colleague who said i am retarded tt i no mood, and he said, of coz mah, its tues for u...
YA HOR~ Hahahahah...
I feel like mc-ing again, but then last week i jus took one leh... 80 bucks leh... Sigh...
But cannot take it liao...
So sian sian sian... I went to eat outside jus now and bought some things too. Tok abt saving money, sigh. But i didnt drink hor, though i did alittle on sat. But it was jus a harmless bottle.
I tried to organise another grp outin for my colleagues. Bringing 11 ppl together is so tiring lor... If not for others i wun do it de. Though tentatively its set on next wed or thurs, and 4 haven replied me yet.
U may ask y i so urgent, coz if i ask them tmr, cfm no replies de. I noe their dead patterns inside out. Took me whole night to at least get some answers lor. But it was abt 65% so i am happy.
I still haf not thot of where to eat though. Lazy to think now. And they also no ideas de.
One new guy (Daniel) smsed me, asking if i was leaving soon then wan to gather up coz it was so sudden. I told him i did think of leaving but trying hard to hold back. I think i can tolerate bah... U think?
Ok lah, think i go sleep le... Gotta wake at 5am... Sian...
Can i mc?
Sigh...

Congrats! Congrats!
Congrats to me~~~ *throws confetti all ard* But tis is no happy post.
Ive finally survived the 3 mths agency bond in my current job. 18 Nov was my official 3 mth, and i cancelled my OT on tt sat coz i knew i couldnt take it anymore.
It might haf been a very short time for most of u, but not so for me. Its been a long haul. It felt more like 6 mths.
Nevertheless, i am proud to haf endured through tis 3 mths of torment. *GIVES MYSELF A BIG PAT ON MY BACK (LUCKY I CAN STILL REACH.)*
I had on so many occasions when i just wanted to disappear from work, reach home, type my resignation and throw it on my manager's desk. Though its nothing to do wif her. But the frustration made me lost my mind on so many occasions.
I became more n more nasty. Having to deal with horrible and nasty ppl every day... If i continue in tis job for any longer. I would most prob becum cold, sian and heartless. Which in a way is wat i wan and dun wan to becum. Dun get it? Nvm. Tts jus me.
I intended to quit end of tis mth, coz i already had advanced pay, if i leave now i haf to retn them alot of money. But it would be quite silly at tis pt coz to endure another mth, i would get pro-rated bonus, which is like abt 300+... I dun really care abt e money, wats 300+ for another mth of mental torture, but its jus dumb to leave now...
I noe i haf not blogged for so long, blogger prompted me for my user id and i forgot wats tt. Lol.
Cross my heart, I had really genuinely wanted to stay in tis job for 1-2 yrs. At least to make it more stable coz none of my jobs ive held previously for the past 3 yrs lasted more than 3 mths... Sounds like a useless, spoilt person toking, but who cares. If i explained in details which i wun, u noe its not my fault and i am not procrastinating nor am i in self denial mode.
Being in the job itself got tougher each day. Recently, it became so boring. I narrowed from 2 yrs plan to 1 yr, to jus cross my confirmation which is 6 mths, to after dec, to tis mth.
It wasnt easy.
I am abit stubborn though, i wan to leave, but i feel fucked up to pay them back my mcs. Coz our mcs are unpaid leave. I took one in oct, and i paid back. Tis mth though they changed the system, i took 2 mcs which is like 160 bucks. So if i leave before 6 mths, i would haf to pay alot of money back... And in a way, i am not willing to do so.
However, its not easy to survive till 18 feb 07 which happen to my chinese new yr which also happened to be my gd fren, SZ's bday.
But watever, they might even jus fire me before the end. And hire a bunch of newbies. Its already 12 new ppl after my batch, and abt the same no. of ppl left & fired as well during tis period of time.
If i strangely, magically managed to survive till feb, i would most prob jus stay till end of next yr. Though its going to be very lonely coz everyone i knew will be gone by jan. But i highly doubt so as well, since the last time they cfm someone is like 2 yrs back. And unless i stumbled upon some numbing potion, its unimaginable to even think tt i will stay till then.
Sigh. But i am trying my best u noe. I gave my best le. It took me alot of strength to tahan tis 3 mths u noe.
My prev company wanted me back, but its hard for me to retn u noe. But tts even harder to start everything all over again. And seriously i haf no idea wat to look for or rather i haf lost the confidence in looking for another one, fearing all the jobs would end up like the ones ive had for the past yrs again.
I of coz understand tt jobs r jobs, most of the time, they r fucked up and we had to endure it and we at the end of the day still haf to earn a living, especially when we all haf so much commitmts.
But if i forever think tis way, and stick to watever shit im facing. I will nv be able to break away fr tis.
Though i haf no idea how much time ive left in tis world, but i noe i shdnt jus stop here. At least its still easier for me to continue searching in hope of finding where i wan to go then to do it 10 yrs later.
I wan to leave le. But i mus tahan. Must ren till jan... But if i can ren till next jan i might as well cross my confirmation right, or wait till they fire me (fire u = ask u to leave = no compensatn btw).
I very scared to go work tmr... I haf 1 big shitty case, caused by one dumb counter staff who screwed tis cust. And now i got to clear tt stupid girl's shit. I hope she gets wat she deserved. Coz i am so going to complain abt her after hopefully i managed to resolve e case tmr.
I haf 2 small shit cases to follow up also.
Sian sian sian sian...
Oh and i am kinda broke until the next pay which is 4 weeks away. Urgh.
See how lor, maybe for next 2 weeks or so, i go supermarket buy bread and make sandwich everyday to eat.
And i shall not go drinking nor eat at fancy restaurants. But see how lah. Lol.
I plan to come back straight after work for next 2 weeks, to save money and eat maggie mee. But 1st i would need to go and buy maggie mee 1st... Lol.
But if i dun go out haf fun hor, i would feel even worst lor. Hmmmmmmmmm...
Ok lah, i blog another time le. Soon, i hope.
Ive finally survived the 3 mths agency bond in my current job. 18 Nov was my official 3 mth, and i cancelled my OT on tt sat coz i knew i couldnt take it anymore.
It might haf been a very short time for most of u, but not so for me. Its been a long haul. It felt more like 6 mths.
Nevertheless, i am proud to haf endured through tis 3 mths of torment. *GIVES MYSELF A BIG PAT ON MY BACK (LUCKY I CAN STILL REACH.)*
I had on so many occasions when i just wanted to disappear from work, reach home, type my resignation and throw it on my manager's desk. Though its nothing to do wif her. But the frustration made me lost my mind on so many occasions.
I became more n more nasty. Having to deal with horrible and nasty ppl every day... If i continue in tis job for any longer. I would most prob becum cold, sian and heartless. Which in a way is wat i wan and dun wan to becum. Dun get it? Nvm. Tts jus me.
I intended to quit end of tis mth, coz i already had advanced pay, if i leave now i haf to retn them alot of money. But it would be quite silly at tis pt coz to endure another mth, i would get pro-rated bonus, which is like abt 300+... I dun really care abt e money, wats 300+ for another mth of mental torture, but its jus dumb to leave now...
I noe i haf not blogged for so long, blogger prompted me for my user id and i forgot wats tt. Lol.
Cross my heart, I had really genuinely wanted to stay in tis job for 1-2 yrs. At least to make it more stable coz none of my jobs ive held previously for the past 3 yrs lasted more than 3 mths... Sounds like a useless, spoilt person toking, but who cares. If i explained in details which i wun, u noe its not my fault and i am not procrastinating nor am i in self denial mode.
Being in the job itself got tougher each day. Recently, it became so boring. I narrowed from 2 yrs plan to 1 yr, to jus cross my confirmation which is 6 mths, to after dec, to tis mth.
It wasnt easy.
I am abit stubborn though, i wan to leave, but i feel fucked up to pay them back my mcs. Coz our mcs are unpaid leave. I took one in oct, and i paid back. Tis mth though they changed the system, i took 2 mcs which is like 160 bucks. So if i leave before 6 mths, i would haf to pay alot of money back... And in a way, i am not willing to do so.
However, its not easy to survive till 18 feb 07 which happen to my chinese new yr which also happened to be my gd fren, SZ's bday.
But watever, they might even jus fire me before the end. And hire a bunch of newbies. Its already 12 new ppl after my batch, and abt the same no. of ppl left & fired as well during tis period of time.
If i strangely, magically managed to survive till feb, i would most prob jus stay till end of next yr. Though its going to be very lonely coz everyone i knew will be gone by jan. But i highly doubt so as well, since the last time they cfm someone is like 2 yrs back. And unless i stumbled upon some numbing potion, its unimaginable to even think tt i will stay till then.
Sigh. But i am trying my best u noe. I gave my best le. It took me alot of strength to tahan tis 3 mths u noe.
My prev company wanted me back, but its hard for me to retn u noe. But tts even harder to start everything all over again. And seriously i haf no idea wat to look for or rather i haf lost the confidence in looking for another one, fearing all the jobs would end up like the ones ive had for the past yrs again.

Sank The Movie
Do not watch Sinking Of Japan, no matter wat u are enticed wif... I wasnt interested but still went wif my fren. It barely made it, i tolerated and did wanted to leave the cinema... I am amazed i managed to stay thru out the movie.
But of coz to add on top of tt, i went to the worst cinema (bugis) and the seats still sucks and i left wif motion sickness and a big giddiness and headache...
Wat abt the movie topping the charts in Japan, Korea and Hong Kong? Did the audience all went becoz of Kou Shibasaki and Shinji Higuchi?
I got a feeling the movie was jus a try out platform to showcase Japan's special effects... And i dare say the effects are pretty gd, pretty impressive, pretty real... Its interesting to see some parts of Japan underwater... Somehow reminds me of sharks tale.
But they spent so much time n effort on the CG, they forgot about the pacing and plot. I noe its from a famous novel, but they shd haf adapted the story better right...
Editing sucks in tis movie, often emotional scenes got cut off abruptly... And i was like WTF? Try to save screen time ar? Then cut down the effects shots lah... They all look the same wat...
And the sound hor, aiyo... Sucks as hell... No impact, the surround is like shit... Imagine natural disasters leh, the greatest opportunity to showcase sound effects skills but they failed miserably... I did not feel the impact at all...
I didnt even cry in tis movie... Coz the pacin is so slow till u wouldnt be able to follow the movie and all the emo scenes became so cheesy...
Imagine, when e couple knew they r going to separate the next day (forever), the girl actually ask e guy, "Can you make love to me?"... Then e guy bursts into tears for like 5 mins and replied, "I cant do it now..." Wa biangz...
I actually laughed out lor...
Sigh...
Duno isit i changed le or not... I seldom cry at movies anymore...
The guy beside me was so fed up he started smsing...
Even he cannot take it... Lol...
Anyways, i think some will still cry over e movie... But for the rest, dun waste ur time lah... Go watch Prestige... I wanna catch Flushed Away... Open next week, i am so excited...
Did i mentioned abt The Guardian? Watched it on mon night... The movie was alright, still watchable... Although the movie is very predictable. But during the bootcamp training damn funny, think guys will relish in it... I left feeling depressed too... Sad lor... But tis kind of movie like tis de lah.... Cfm got main characters die de...

OT Queen
I watched The Prestige last night and gawd, i love tt show. The plot is interesting and exciting. Alot of depth and i love the ways the script writer and editor overlap the story. Back and forth from the past and present. It makes me stay glued to the end... And not to mention the twists and turns of the truth...
Though the twists n turns werent something as original as Sixth Sense or The Others, but it certainly made its impact nonetheless... Although it didnt WOWed us, it certainly made the audience gasped...
The movie was so grey, it left me feeling heavy and unjustifiable... Pls dun watch it if u already noe the story, its very ptless tt way... The whole suspense of the movie is the truth... If u already noe the plot, u would sleep ur way thru e movie...
I just thot it was a simple rivalry battle between 2 magicians, i didnt expect there was so much more to the story... I am glad i insisted on watching tis instead of The Departed.
However, the movie certainly isnt for the less educated/intellectual or those who prefered comedies... Coz most probably you would haf fallen asleep within the 1st 30 mins... I wasnt expected it to be a heavy movie, so i went wif a tired body n mind and i was struggling keeping my eyes open...
But i had to, if you missed wat they said, it meaningless to stay on... Those who are more intelligent would haf also gotten more out of the movie and it would make a good discussion topic as it opened up alot of thots... Coz of all the subtleties of the underlaying messages... But for normal audience, it would jus be another quite interesting movie...
Its been quite some time since ive watched a movie of tis calibre. It felt more than 3 hrs instead of 2 hrs... Tts how much they made my brain work...
I am so not used to tis weekend, coz i didnt work yest... And the silly thing was, i didnt noe it was hol. If it wasnt for my colleagues, i would haf came to work yest 7+am... lol... And my ignornace became a joke the past week...
I work alt sats, but for the past 1 mth, i came back every OFF sat to do OT. On my own accord of coz, and obviously for the money... But also coz i jus wan to keep myself occupied although i am so drained wif all the over time...
I requested OT for tmr, wed and next sat (my off day) for next week... Coz tats the only 3 days they opened up for OT. I am now officially named the OT QUEEN in my office... Lol... Although i dun mind doing OT, but tt doesnt mean i enjoy it... I am certainly not looking forward to working 11.5 hrs tmr...
I am not sure how long would i be able to carry in tis job, so might as well make the most out of it... Besides, i haf to be happy tt my OT is being paid for as compared to the prev jobs i did... My HR knowing me, will always ask me if i can help wif OT whenever they needed more manpower...
Most of the time i would always give a green light, but i told them jus make sure the company pays me... Hahahaha...
I guess i shd be able to clear most of my things very soon... And then i would blog as usual... Besides, we just hired 7 new ppl, i doubt i will haf any chance to do OT after tis...
Tmr the malays in my office would be having half day offs... So we can all already predict its going to be a hell day tmr, since we also noe alot of ppl will be taking "mc" tmr...
I jus hope ppl dun call up coz its holidays for gawd sake. Pls be nice...
And envy those of u whos offing tmr also...
Alright, shall end here. Back to my chores...

Updates
I am still sick, and ive not recovered... It may be due to the haze, or it may be just myself.
I haf not used my pc for the past week, coz my house's going thru the upgrading and u cant imagine e mess, dust, dust, dust and more dust. Sent my dog to pet hotel and burnt a hole in my pocket... It was very sad when hes not ard... Took him back yest and its hard not to get him stepping onto the dusty forbidden areas which formed e majority of the house.
My fish had comitted suicide. She paralysed herself, and couldnt get up to eat. And thus, after 6 days, she finally starved herself to death. Rest in peace, wu fu... She had been wif us for many yrs, exceeding her own lifespan. And i am glad shes gone to a better place.
Im online today, coz no choice i got to type a small report coz i got no time to do in the office. But im kinda lazy and unfit to do it now also u see. Alright lazy is the main reason.
Watever, next week the upgrading still continues... After i forced myself to start my report, and cover my pc wif dirty n dusty blankets, i am going to say byebye for another week. Hopefully the project finishes on time. Coz i miss my air con, normal toilets, warm water shower and my usual life...
Cya next week.

Ill >>> iLL
I have fallen ill again... Like, wats new right.
Anyways, its saddening to see my blog abandoned. But i really haf either no time or no energy. Yest was supposed to be my off day. But due to shortage of manpower now, i went back to do 5 hrs of OT. i would have done another 3 hrs if i have not arranged to meet up wif SZ.
Ive been clocking OT alot lately, now got chance then do lor... After they hired more ppl, wan to do also dun haf le. And i better earn more while i can be4 they fire me.
Tmr i will be working from 730am-7pm... Sigh... I dun even wan to think about it.
My job has been on the rocks lately. But tts all im going to say for now. It only makes me feel yet again, tt all my efforts n e hard work i put in, though more than anyone else, is jus me being plain stupid. Then again, when was it justisfiable or appreciated anyways.
I will be changing seats tmr. Hopefully at a new place, things will turn for the better, i hope.
My mum said ive been too tired, tts y i kept falling sick, and not recovering...
Oh, did i mentioned i went to play tennis wif my colleague and i fell on tues? I fell and grazed and bruised myself during the 1st ball. Then i realised i was playing too serious... Lol. I only realised how painful it was after i went back...
Showering was a big challenge. Not to mention climbin stairs and walking...
My house from tues till next next fri, 10 days, will be going thru e upgrading... Sigh, no toilets to use... Duno how... And not yet finished somemore, think next yr they come back do the kitchen additional room or something... So meanwhile cant cook too. They will be tearing down our kitchen cabinet, up till the stove area... Its gonna be very messy. Not to even mention the reconstruction of the 2 toilets...
My family had a big quarrel today. Resulted in my mum display her unhappiness living here and my sis asking my mum to leave. So e conclusion was to sell away tis house 2 yrs later, money split between them both and everyone separate their own ways...
Sigh... Looks like i am really going to carry on renting rooms for a long time. If tts e case, most prob i will give up my degree. I dun think i can earn enuff to cover all the commitments... Then again, when we separate, how am i going to bring my son wif me. Ive not encountered any landlords who allow their tenant to cook pets...
Besides, hes goin to be trapped in e room for his whole lifetime. Its gonna be very miserable and i dun wan him to go thru the kind of life tt i am going to.
See how lah... Theres still some time... Shall see.

A Quick One
Thot i shd blog abit, while waiting for my turn to shower...
I could haf blogged last weekend, coz sat i off, and SZ didnt date me... But then silly thing was, jus when i wanted to blog, my sis started to hog the pc to do her assignments... Oh well...
My beloved lunch buddy (colleague) had resigned... I am so sad... I haf no idea how to feel when the rest of them resigned... Sigh, but we r meeting for tennis after work tis coming tues, tts if nothing crops up... Gonna book it tmr.
I cant see very well today... Think i am too tired... Everything is so hazy and my eyes are closing, even if i am typing all these...
Last fri was my lunch buddy's last day... So i organised a farewell gathering after work, 9 of us went for dinner at mushroom pot and then ktv till 12 after tt... I was beat, still gotta work tmr u noe...
Yest i went for John Tucker Must Die movie... I bought 2 lipgloss, and got 2 voucher to exchange for 2 pearls in retn at Isetan. The guy will open the oysters in front of u, the whole place stinks, imagine it in e midst of Isetan... But its pretty amazing seeing him digging e pearl wif a knife out of e poor oyster's tummy... I haf not seen tis in real life be4...
I also bought a tennis skirt. Lol... I like 2, but only bought 1. Sad. Then we headed to Country Mana and then to esplanade. Managed to catch Juz B's performance at waterfront... Juz B's e malay grp from superband which i raved about... They sang a mixture of malay, chinese and english songs...
I still like one of the lead, so handsome...
We then headed to Marina Mandarin (my fav lounging area). Drank my fav drink Lycheetini or Lychee Martini so to speak... I only had a glass, budget u noe, budget... I haf tis thing tt i drink alcohol very fast, so u can imagine how tough it is for me to sip my drink for hrs... No idea how ppl can sip it slowly...
Ive always wanted to just gulp it in one go... Lol... Tts y i still drink beer, coz beer is something i can drink like water and yet u wun get drunk... I haf no idea y ppl always tell me, "I drink hard liquor one, i dun drink beer"... I mean like, yah, obviously u choose hard liquor over beer, but thing is tts not a reason to say u dun drink beer wat... Its jus like water wat... Something like tonic water... Lol...
As much as i love lounging there and observing all the rich/atas ppl... The drinks there r still very ex, not tt i mind though...
Sigh, i go shower le... My sis wan to use the pc... Till next time...

Tis is an angry post, no pt reading it.
I am feeling so miserable. I am so miserable i wan to bitch about everything (or at least wats going on). But i cant. Coz i am the stupid one who used my real name for my site ( i am vain, i like to use my name every where).
I dun lie to strangers tt i dun blog. So any idiot can google my name and *poof*, u can see my blog in e 1st 3 links.
Urgh.
I haven been updating coz ive started working (my sis's been hoggin e pc for her assignments as well). Today is my 3rd day.
I am bonded for e next 3 mths. My job is a 3 yr contract but i am not bonded though. I am a 3 yr contract staff, which is crap coz i lost out on e benefits. I thot it was a PERMANENT position. I am not a freshie bumping ard. I wan to find a long term stable job ok!
I made a wish on my bday tt i wish for a full time job. But i forgot to say wat kind of job.
I am so sick of ppl telling me, "U will find an ideal job!", "Ur next job will be better!", crap.
They told me those when i was schlin, and my 1st job? Fucked up. Then they tell me e same thing, and my 2nd job? Fucked up. Then they told me e same thing. My 3rd job? Super fucked up. Then comes e fourth job and ppl said im lucky and all tt crap. Wat happened in e end? Super super fucked up. It fucked up even more when i complained out of frustration and ppl told me its not e end of e world.
Since when did i say it was e end of the world? U rich brats haf no idea how tough it is to survive in e real world ok!!!
And then my 5th job? Fucked up. Then wat happened? Ppl told me e same thing, "U will find a gd job one, dun worry!"...
How fucked up can these ppl get?
Its like saying u will win lottery and every time u lose i will tell u, confirm win next time... Of coz one bloody day, u will eventually win due to probability. And then i am supposed to say, "See, i told u, ur life is not so suay. U will win someday."
WTFFFFFFFF!!!!! Yah, one bloody day.
Y cant u jus see tt, even if u haf e same qualifications, same skills, same human, same everything, tt ur life, fate, destiny can go totally different? How some can jus be so blessed wif great 1st jobs, and some never ever finding somewhere they can settle down contentedly...
It has nothing to do wif expectations. U think those blessed ppl expect very little, tts y they r rich, tts y they found gd jobs wif great bosses, colleagues, tts y they haf happy family?
Pls lah, when ur environment is blessed, it is blessed. Its out straight one mah, ur boss so gd to u, ur pay so high, e other one's boss like shit, pay very low etc. Its got nothing to do wif expectations, asking too much, too demanding or watever shit.
Although i haf to admit some really asked too much for their own gd, and never finding one and always complaining. But im not toking about those ignorant ppl.
Only 3 days, and i already realised i am so suay. U can be ignorant, blur, new, fresh but lucky, so u get ur way wif it. I am seasoned, hardworking and well balanced but i get all e dirty shit.
I took up tis job to shut everyone ard me. To shut all e crap and also to prove to everyone tt my next job isnt something happily ever after as long as u dun give up.
But of coz, i wun deny deep down i am hoping things would change for e better as well. I am always prepared to apologise and say i am wrong, things haf indeed became better.
But reality slaps hard in my face ok. -_______-"
U can tell someone patronisingly tt things will becum better, but u will not be able to comprehend how much more tt person yearns for it than jus ur mere word of politically correct statements.
I wanted to take my time to find a gd job. But all the pressure made me bit it out of spite. I took it realising theres no future at e last min.
Wat crap about aiyah, jus work and then find a job meanwhile.
Do u noe i cannot jus take mc or leave in my job? Unless u wan me to be fired or get lesser money. If i can jus take leave or mc, i wouldnt mind hogging e job and look for greener pastures.
U guys say until like its so easy lidat. Wat no stress, u hearsay only, u noe nuts.
My mum is e worst, she said i am a useless, slow, incapable person. So i shd jus stick to a lowly, simple job and jus live day by day. She said i shd stop looking for better jobs (coz they wouldnt wan me coz i am e worst) and jus stick wif tis (e kind tt nobody wans). And then when she realised i am not happy, she is pissed off tt i myself am e one who agreed and yet i am so unhappy about it.
Yah yah, serves me right. Serves me right for anyhowly taking a job tt i feel very unhappy about jus so tt i can give u money coz u kept complaining no money when i can jolly well see u suffer and jus bump ard till i used my last dropped of self-earned savings.
I am not like those freshies liao leh. I dun wan to work 3 mths, quit, look for jobs again, knowing how bloody tough its for me. I told u i cannot work tis job and look at the same time. My leave's got to be balloted a few rounds. And if we anyhow take mc its going to affect my work conduct, which leads to many other things.
I heard things like "if i noe ur job like tis, i would haf adviced u not to take it". Bloody hell, if u really mean it, when i initially told u, u would haf BOTHERED to find out more from me when i told u about it. If u r a true fren or family, u would haf bothered. U would haf been concerned.
Rather than saying, "up to u, u decide lor.", "after 3 mths then see how", "flip coin", "its ur life, so u decide urself, i am not saying anything", "wow, tts cool, got job gd! take! take! gd start!".
And then after i took it, come telling me, "aiyah ur job no gd", "aiyah y u so stupid go take", tis n tt.
I am so tired but i cant sleep. And tis is driving me even more crazy. And plus i think i am pmsing. I got to wake up at 6+ am every morning and yet i jus cant sleep before 3am. Its frustrating.
My insomia seems to be getting worst. I haf no idea wat e hell's going on. And my backache had worsened lately as well. I think my whole body/system/mind's jus starting to crash n breakdown.
At tis rate, i will burn out very soon.
I think i may need medical help very soon. Or at least do a x-tray on my spine.
But i will only get my pay next mth. Urgh.
Aiyah, watever. I am alone. So i jus haf to suck everything in.
I dun lie to strangers tt i dun blog. So any idiot can google my name and *poof*, u can see my blog in e 1st 3 links.

Updates, Sort Of
I finally haf e time to sit down and blog. I haf so many drafts i haf no idea whether to write them or not. Usually i will jus put a title and save as draft then cum back later to write it during my free time and publish it.
But then coz i haf lagged so much, i haf no mood to write those anymore. lol. I haf one "Wat Fast Wat Furious", but since its been like wat, 2 weeks... Theres not much pt in toking about e show. I also watched Click, but i haf no mood to write about tt. Go watch Click though.
Finally i haf done everything, all e errands...
I am so tired. Been out everyday (multiple times) for the past 2 weeks, travelling to so many unfamiliar places, doing so many errands. I jus finished e last errand i had to do. Although i still haf clothes to pack, clothes to iron and floor to vacuum... Urgh. Can dun do or not?
Yest i spent the whole morning doing medical checkup (I had to move back and forth 3 buildings in orchard! Becoz of tt, i got darker, sigh, again. Dun ask me how is my report, i also duno.) and then went TPY to meet my mum to do her errands. I closed our joint account, coz she complained no money. Then I went to do more errands.
Initially we were planning to go gym. But when i got home, i was beat. And my son was so happy i didnt wan to disappoint him by going out again. But of coz, tts jus an excuse. I was so tired how to go gym, so in e end, my mum went wif them.
I stayed at home to clear my son's mess. Wanted to sleep but i still had many more things to do... And when i was done, its already near dinner, so i went to make dinner etc.
Had a chat wif SZ tis morning. Lol, her alarm got prob so she missed work and lost half a day's of money.
I had terrible dreams lately. I had another dream where i was trapped in tis house wif a whole grp of ppl. And then we started to kill one another much like e horror movies. But it wasnt our own evilness tis time. We were possessed by "things"... But e spirit/spirits... Oh my son jus pooped, wait ar...
Ok, back. I also jus made my lunch btw, oat cereal. lol.
Now where was i? Oh ok, but e spirit/spirits dun simply possess one fixed person, it moves fr one to one or multiple ppl. So it was hard to predict whos been possessed. Or were they or some of them really possesed? Aiya, my sis jus called. Wait ar.
Alamak, cant i blog n eat in peace?
So anyways, we were hiding n all tt. Frenz were being killed one by one, etc. It was gorey n gruesome then. I wasnt possessed, was more focused on how to not get killed...
Last night, i also dreamt of horrible stuffs though i cant really remember most of it. But theres tis part where Ru mei (Renne) saw me near my neighbourhood (my old yishun hdb), she stayed e next BLK, which mus be a joke if she read tis, since she dun stay anywhere near there n hdb somemore.
Anyways, she saw me, and told me e scariest thing. She said she can see ghosts. And tt i haf one following me... Then she went on n on to describe "him", i was going mad then n i kept telling her i dun wan to noe... And then she continued theres another one, a female one and they r jus right behind me...
It was so creepy can!
Last week, SZ told me she dreamt my face was covered by a mist of dark veil or something... So scary. Cant see my face coz of e dark shadow... Damn creepy.
So anyways, tt 2 ghosts followed me and eventually wanted to kill me etc... I am so sick of dealing wif death, y dun i jus get killed instead.
I write more later. Finish my oat 1st, very soft liao.

Coincidence
Jus came back fr one interview. So tired, waited there for more than an hr be4 e actual interview start. Had a grp interview. I was e only idiot who came so early, e rest were like late. So i waited e longest. But e interview was very nostalgic. Im sure u wonder y.
It was e same as my sales job interview 2 yrs back. Same thing, grp of 4. Same thing, 3 gals, 1 guy. Same thing, i was the corner one and e last to speak. Same thing i was at the right corner. Same thing, e guy was e 2nd one.
And then same thing, there was a retail person in e grp, last time one was a waitress (i consider f & b retail as well), tis time one was a gal selling clothes, shall not say e brand here. But its a mid range boutique brand. Same thing, e retail person was e 3rd.
But tt gal not friendly one, e 3 of us were chatting wif each other, maybe she was waiting for us to make e move. She must be feeling so sian we left her out.
Im not sure if its better to be in a grp for interviews or alone. I kinda resented it for a start, but i gotta admit tt there is definately pressure tt makes me speak well and speak better.
After e interview, we left to go to e station. One gal called Priya left to meet her fren, shes e experienced one and shes very frendly. We chatted e moment she stepped into e reception area. While e other 2 were scattered elsewhere.
I like gals lidat.
So anways, e retail gal called Teng Teng walked off 1st and left alone. And then nearing e station, e guy caught up wif me to g back together. I dun remember his name though. Lol. Eng something or something Eng.
Coincidentally, we stay at the same area. Both of us alighted at YCK. Before tt, while we were in e train, my agent called me and said im shortlisted for paper test tmr morning. Same thing, my sales one he also called me immediately and told me to go back office e next day, except tt e job was offered. Tis one after paper test, still got another interview if u score well.
STRESSED leh!!! I no exams since secondary, everything returned to old sch liao lor.
Anyways, we were chatting and my agent called. I told him e news and his face immediately dropped. And he kept quiet. It was rather awkard. Then after 4 mins, his agent called and hes shortlisted as well, so hes happy again n resumed conversation.
Im sure Priya is shortlisted as well coz of her experience.
So i will be seeing them tmr morning again.
E guy very cute, he said he cant sleep last night coz he kept thinking of wat to say during e interview. I guess i am indeed more experienced in interviews. I had passed tt stage. He said he duno and wore jeans n t shirt to some interviews... Tts so strange, considering he is in his late twenties. *shrug*
E retail gal wore slippers too. But then i think it didnt really matter for tis one. I saw e staffs wearing denim skirts.
One thing though, I think its e way u project ur words. While during some ppl's speech, u dun see any responses or worst see ppl in a daze. When it was my turn, i had them nodding (interviewees included, im surprised they listened, lol) and then some even smiled over some things i said.
Like i said, i am experienced in interviews. But tts nothing wonderful to tok about. Wats worst? Knowing ur interview went smoothly and very well and not getting e job, or having a bad interview jittering, stumbling, poor answers but got e job?
Although i felt i didnt do anything wrong, but i gave eye contacts to e interviewees as well during my speech. Hmm, its working habit mah, they r listening/looking/reacting at me, i cant jus ignore them and only concentrate on e interviewers. Lol. But of coz, like i said, i am e only idiot who do tis kind of things.
Busy day tmr. Morning a 2 hr paper test, then later afternoon another interview at another company.
I hope it turns out well. Cant wait to start working again. If i still dun get tis 2 jobs, or 3 including e mon one, then i think i can go die liao.

I hope it turns out well. Cant wait to start working again. If i still dun get tis 2 jobs, or 3 including e mon one, then i think i can go die liao.

Middle Earth Inhabited NDP or the other way round?
I hoped u enjoyed ur ND hol, well-smacked in the middle of boring working week, no?
I was at home e whole day, everyday is holiday for a jobless person, not tt i haf nothing to do n slacking ok? Looking for jobs is even more stressful than completing a job. But tts me. Coz its never easy for me.
Oh, i had a dreary dream, 2 nights be4. E grp of us were being chased by dinosaurs. So we were constantly running, hiding, running and hiding. Well, since we cant really fight dinosaurs wif no weapons, we just haf to keep running. And for some reasons e particular grp of dinosaurs were jus bent on killing all of us.
Dun ask me y they r bent, i guess u dun qns y e monsters only target e main leads in movies. I think perhaps there were other dinosaurs killing the rest of e world, jus tt i didnt noe. To eliminate e world of humans! Lol. Just tt my point of view obviously only follow me n my grp.
E dream got very dreary although it was nerve wrecking n tiring. It got dreary coz e grp of us started out protecting each other, saving/hiding/helping one another. We wanted to survive tis together. But then reality sunk, when u r on e run for days. Ppl started to change.
We found out if we wanted to survive, we haf to make sacrifices. And tt means, u got to sacrifice ur frenz along e way in order to lose track of the creatures, one by one.
So it comes to a pt when u see some characters who were not so well-liked by e majority being sabotaged. And they ended up being eaten. Some who were more popular or PRETTY, were still being protected. Blind followers!
I was pretty much on my own then coz i was extremely disgusted at how e dream turned out. Ppl were trying to make me die too. But WTF, tt was my dream, i dun wan to die inside ok? Definately not by e likes of those selfish stupids assholes.
I most certainly decided not to help those idiots when they were being eaten, i meant those evil ones, not those tt were sabotaged.
How to not feel dreary lidat? Wat a evil dream, seeing ppl turn against one another, seeing innocent ppl being eaten alive. And having no solutions to the prob, except to keep on running n move on ahead. I cant even turn/stop or look back. No time to cry, no time to feel guilty. Just anger, pure anger.
Anger at those ard me who r still sticking wif me to watch me die. DAMN!!!
I dreamt of dinos coz of a earlier trip in the mrt tt day. E guy sitting next next to me was watching King Kong on his video gadget. Just a few scenes to spark off my dream, tts crazy. I was peeping jus tt it was rather awkard coz theres another person between us. Took me awhile be4 i gave up. Lol.
It jus got to e exciting part, e part where Naomi was being chased by e t-rexes and then king kong rescuing her n all tt. It was still interesting for a small screened mute movie. I bet e owner's enjoyin it. I wouldnt mind watching LOTR.
Speaking of LOTR, Did u watch e NDP jus now?I duno how many of u noticed this but there is tis video thingy which recapped our history since independence which was shown be4 e actual show.
Wats so special u ask?
Well, if u listened carefully, they actually used e MUSIC SOUNDTRACK of LOTR!!!!!!!!!! If im not wrong it shd be from fellowship. I was so shocked i shouted to my mum about it and she laughed. Although she said she dun think im e only one who knew.
Somehow i do feel tt i might be one of e few. Coz who e hell notices tis kind of things? My mum went on to say tt maybe LKY is a fan of LOTR. Tts crap n nonsense. I confirm he dun like. Anyways, its not his decision anyways, its e editor. I haf no idea wat e editor was thinking. Perhaps he love LOTR? No idea. But tts was so strange.
I noe LOTR music scores r gd n inspiring. And the magnitude carries n lifts ur spirits which was somewat appropriate to e video coz its supposed to make u feel uplifted, proud and patriotic. But most certainly strange to be used on a national video, no? Although they did use a more modern version of it (re-recorded in mediacorp studio? but an EXTREMELY BAD VERSION though), but it was still weird. But maybe tts coz i noe e source so it was strange. Instead of seeing Frodo/Gollum, u see e young Lee Kuan Yew when he was our PM.
I wondered if they paid e copyrights, but i doubt so though. If they claimed its not from LOTR, they can go kiss my ass. I am LOTR freak ok, and every single piece of music score fr e trilogy was written originally by Howard Shore.
I noe them when i hear it. U cannot bluff me one, coz i even remember e lines ok! Since i haf already watched LOTR more than 50 times. *Er hem*
Anyways, i continue tmr. Wan to go watch Bleach now. I haf officially stopped watchin Naruto, took me so long to finally let it go. They r both crap after they strayed off from their manga to do their never-ending side story. But then when i start on something, i hardly give up, even if they r crappy. I did finished Tsubasa Chronicles to e latest then, so wats Bleach and Naruto.
Okok, enuff crap.
(oooooooooo....... jus read fr other blogs, me not e only one who complained about e LOTR music! muahahahah... no idea y i am so happy)

Choco Milk
I thot i would try out e choco milk thingy since it jus so happened my mum bought a can of cocoa powder thinking its so healthy coz theres no milk or sugar. Until i tell her its fattening coz it contains butter something which is 9% fat. Lol.
Anyways, i thot i would make myself a nice warm cup of choco milk, while reading blogs n enjoying photos of others be4 i attempt to sleep. I am drooling at e thot of tt. Ive not drank choco milk for e longest time.
But then i couldnt find e can of cocoa! Damn it!!!
And then double DAMN DAMN, i saw a huge ass cockroach on the cabinet.
Sigh, there goes e mood for my warm cocoa. I think i shd go count sheeps.

Ichiban Boshi
My sis very lucky lor. She switched to a different job department in her company. Got a raise in pay and now shes working 5 day week. She got degree mah, cant complain.
Btw, yest very disgusting. My blk downstairs got one water pipe burst or leak i duno. So got alot of foaming water flooding. Then while i thot e water was harmless and had to walk thru it, i saw maggots!!! -_-" A massive swarm of live maggots swimming/crawling outwards. Its not everyday thing tt i see maggots, i did consider staying back longer to observe them but i was running off for an interview.
They were interesting though disgusting and im imagining them burrowing through my flesh/corpse when i die, but of coz, tt wouldnt happen since i wouldnt be buried. The way they crawl is somewat captivating if not for their disgusting linkage wif anything rotten n smelly. I cant imagine how those ppl at fear factor could swallow these things.
Ok, enuff about maggoty stuffs.
Lets tok about food. Lol. Sorry for ruining ur appetite.
I finally went Ichiban Boshi to eat, it was early dinner late lunch for us as usual. Heard so much raving about it. So finally went wif SZ on last sat to try it out. We were going to catch a movie at MS. So we headed to e Esplanade branch. SZ heard tt e customer service is very bad here. But it turned out normal, so u guys can head out there. I did find e seat they chose for us rather weird n awkard however.
It was very nice view though only one person can see it, stupid. But i didnt bring my cam tt day so i had to use my hp. I only brought a very small makeup pouch to put everything. I wanted to be burden free tt sat, which didnt really work coz i bought a new aviator shade ($19, original $40+) from Miss Selfridge (sigh, i found out one crystal missing today though. Duno its lidat be4 hand or dropped. Had to manually remove another one at other end to balance e look) and SZ bought me a turquoise cardigan ($19, original $40+ too, lol) fr G2000, love it! My bday gift.
G2000 was havin a crazy sale. Finally u see guys going crazy over clothes. The Q was so damn long. It was reaching e entrance.
Ichiban Boshi literally means the First Star. Its a place to enjoy good quality food with modernize presentation in cool ambience, and at affordable price. Menu covers from real authentic Japanese items to the popular items such as sushi on conveyor belt.
I ordered Tenzaru Chasoba (which includes mixed vege n ebi tempura, $13.80 i think) and potato croquette ($1.90).
I tell u ar, its very nice. The chasoba is very springy. Not e very machine kind or supermarket one like Sakae. I like it. I wan to try e famous soba restaurant at Paragon though, heard its e best.
And e potato croquette is simply AMAZING. I am missing it already. I wan to eat e food again. Craving liao. SZ had some sushi plates (same price as Sakae), e lobster thingy in e middle she said its very nice.
I was more interested in her tofu though. Cant show u how appetizing it looks unfortunately. I'll bring my cam again e next time i go eat.
Gosh, i am missing their food already. Theres still so many things i wan to try. But i only haf one stomach.
Their prices are generally similar to Sakae. But their drinks are $2.20 instead of Sakae's $1.50, canned drinks i meant.
But then after eating there, its like Sakae? Wat Sakae? I suddenly haf no reason to go back Sakae. Maybe for their one n only vitamin E enriched sushi rice? Lol. Like i care.
But Salmon is most impt to me for jap food, haf not tried Ichiban Boshi's salmon yet though.
We then went shopping... Luckily i purposefully wore track shoes, we walked sooooooo much... We always walk alooottt when we go City Hall. We caught e Tokyo Drift movie as well. Sigh, i will tok about it another time. But then if u wan to watch go watch lor...
It was nearing midnight. So we headed for supper, actually dinner to be precise. Went to Esplanade's Makansutra Gluttons Bay. Ive not eaten there yet too.
I drank coconut. So happy. So long never drink it liao... 2nd last one. But i need ice next time.
We had e osyter egg. Not nice one. They put e oyster at the side lidat somemore. But oyster quite big though.
See e stalls, tts how glaring it was. I was going blind coz i was facing them. SZ was facing e sea.
Chicken wings... I actually dun like bbq wings, or rather i dun like tis kind. Too dry. I like spicy or honey glazed wings/drumlets.
We also had fried kuay tiao. But i didnt take pic, think i was too hungry. It was very oily. We wanted to hokkien prawn mee, but then sold out jus be4 us... Urgh.
Overall, i dun really like e food there. Too substandard. But then if u r in town and had a craving for hawker food n seafood and Newton is too far, then its a gd place to satisfy ur taste buds. At least i heard e tourists said e food is nice.
Plus, u can enjoy e sea breeze n e view. It was also cooler than Newton. Newton is a giant microwave. I wouldnt mind going there to eat again though coz i like tt place (as in e surrounding, not e hawker), and esplanade is my fav hangout.
Ah, im hungry.
We then strolled for awhile, headed to e creepy Merlion. Stood there for abit then sat for abit, constantly avoiding e blind bats... E whole area from esplanade to e Merlion are infested wif bats. They kept circling round n round and they fly so low, luckily their sonic waves were working, if not im sure they would hit my head e whole night.
Nearing 3 am, we left to take e night rider. Only to haf waited for more than 1 1/2 hrs for tt stupid NR1. We were both so frustrated, tired. An hr more, we could haf boarded e mrt. Stupid drivers.
If tts not all, e driver even went e wrong route and did a U turn. He said to someone on his hp while driving tt there wasnt anyone who wans to drive e bus so he took e last bus. So irresponsible. Somemore, he kept telling e ppl not to complain. He told them theres only 3 bus tt night, bluff one lor. Its not tt theres only 3 bus, how can tt be? U think e bus company so stupid? He already said no one wans to take e bus but he lied n said theres only 3 buses allocated tt night.
FUCKING irresponsible. I hope someone complained though. How can they be lidat. So bek cek. And seeing n hearing e angry passengers complaining, and yet gives up so easily and kept quiet in e end, jus pisses me off even more. But tts jus us, typical singaporeans. Wan to complain but keep quiet in the end, loud mouth no guts.
But i cant complain too, coz i am sitting n waiting for others to complain as well, another kind of typical singaporeans. And complaining when others decided not to pursue. Cannot lidat, I need to be more gutsy since ppl ard me r not.
I reached home ard 535 am and SZ ard 6am. It was so stupid, a disappointing night. I had quite a bad time i felt. I wished i had stayed at home to watch e finals of Superband. I hope i dun miss e 2nd telecast.
My son cried e whole night when i was out. Tis is e 1st time. So i had to officially go home earlier from now on. Early as in before 2+am. Well, tts if i dun really enjoy e company though.

Exhausted
I am so beat.
So tired.
I haf no time or rather no energy to blog.
I haf been sleeping only 3 hrs plus per night for the past 1 week or so. My insomia prob is getting worst. I wonder how i survived my poly days sleeping only 1 hr per night. No wonder i can fall asleep easily when catching movies wif my bf even though its my fav past time.
But i am 17 no more. I haf succumbed to the aging process.
True enuff, i can still survive sleeping only 5-6 hrs per night for a long period of time now. But 3-4 hrs is over e board for my poor miserable aging body. & spending 6 hrs lying on ur bed trying to sleep but cant is not a funny thing.
I am exhausted, but my mind refused to sleep. So forcing tt, i haf headaches. So i haf been downing panadols again. Till i finished all my panadols, so now my house no more.
My head is throbbing now, but tts coz i travelled too much today. So much so tt i haf motion sickness on the mrt. Can u believe tt? Oh yea, it seems my motion sickness had gotten worst lately as well. Not even e plasters can work, but maybe coz i need to renew them.
I haf been very busy looking for jobs. Busy searching, busy choosing, busy editing, busy sending, busy waiting, busy scheduling and busy interviewing. Not tt i am complaining though. Jus tt i noe i cant travel multiple times a day coz of my motion sickness prob.
I went for a interview tis morning. I went to another recruitment agency jus now. I came back and almost collapsed. Was extremely giddy. My mum said I travel more always lidat, useless... Lol. So u shd be thkful if u got no motion sickness prob, no low blood glucose prob n no blood pressure prob.
My blood pressures been pretty low lately, duno y. So maybe tts y i feel giddy. Its been ard 104/64 on average. The lower one is very low, not gd.
Anyways, i haf no idea wat im typing.
I think i will go haf an eye shut. I am going to hack my makeup and waxed hair for now. Later then clean myself.
Will blog tmr. If no agencies call me though.
I dun even haf e strength to bath my son (supposedly on sun). So i am going to postpone till tmr.
Anyways, yea, stay healthy.

Embarrassed
My gawd, i was so embarrassed. I used to laugh at those who tell me their real floor when i asked them which floor in e lift. Now i kena retribution!!!
I was walking fast and i saw tis good looking chap leaning at the lift lobby. One glance and i knew hes handsome, so i avoided looking at him... Lol. Then in e lift, he asked me which floor which caught me off guard. Coz he abit ah beng young tt kind, i didnt noe hes so well-mannered (ya i noe, cannot judge by looks)... And i actually said, "Eleven" in mandarin...
He was stunned for a moment and then he pressed 12th.
I was so embarrassed i wished i could disappear.
And the worst thing is, tts not even e floor i am staying!!!
I went to visit my Dad tis evening. And e lift buttons are e old kind, 1, 9, 11... So i guessed tts where e "11" came from... My Dad stay at the 11 storey. My lift is 1, 5, 9, 12... I stay at 12th.
Gah. But he wun noe mah, he would think i stayed at 11th. I am sure he would make a joke out of it like i did those many times... I am so useless, lost myself jus becoz hes gd looking... Mus haf composure next time!!! Urgh!!! So paiseh~ Arh!!!!

Another incident today but tis time in e lift at my Dad's place. U noe when u listen to loud music from ur player. And when u enter e lift, basically its becums stereo surround? U wun realise tt but others in e lift can hear ur music clearly.
So i was blasting Gackt's songs in my player. I got in e lift wif a uncle. I made a mistake of staying at the back of e lift. So tis uncle was standing sideways, staring/looking at me e whole time. I shd haf stood at the door so tt i would back face him but tts not wat i wan to say.
Then coz i reaching mah, so i took off my ear piece and offed my music. The moment i took off my ear piece, i realised tt Uncle is humming/whistling to my song!!!
Imagine tt! A uncle whistling/humming to Gackt's jap rock song!!! It was so funny, i almost laughed out loud literally.
It happened within seconds and then when he realised i offed my music, he tried to stop immediately. But it takes time to react so i still caught him humming to my music... Lol.
I tell u arh, tt moment was priceless...
I was walking fast and i saw tis good looking chap leaning at the lift lobby. One glance and i knew hes handsome, so i avoided looking at him... Lol. Then in e lift, he asked me which floor which caught me off guard. Coz he abit ah beng young tt kind, i didnt noe hes so well-mannered (ya i noe, cannot judge by looks)... And i actually said, "Eleven" in mandarin...
He was stunned for a moment and then he pressed 12th.
I was so embarrassed i wished i could disappear.
And the worst thing is, tts not even e floor i am staying!!!
I went to visit my Dad tis evening. And e lift buttons are e old kind, 1, 9, 11... So i guessed tts where e "11" came from... My Dad stay at the 11 storey. My lift is 1, 5, 9, 12... I stay at 12th.
Gah. But he wun noe mah, he would think i stayed at 11th. I am sure he would make a joke out of it like i did those many times... I am so useless, lost myself jus becoz hes gd looking... Mus haf composure next time!!! Urgh!!! So paiseh~ Arh!!!!

Lady In The Dome
Watched Lady In The Water last sat wif SZ.
Oh be4 tt, we went Din Tai Fung to eat. Yum, my fav Xiao Long Bao ! & Chicken Soup! & Fried Egg Rice! I think next time mus try their noodles. But silly me was so excited i forgot to take pics of e food.
Lady in the Water. Hmm, where shd i begin? I wouldnt say its a gd movie nor isit a bad one. It did got me teary in the end but i didnt cry. But then lets jus say its isnt worth your 9.50 bucks.
I saw alot of reviews tt totally trashed tis movie. However, i did also see many who loved it, but these ppl r those who loved The Village which i dun like at all unfortunately. Its not tt The Village wasnt a gd movie, it was gd, better than many, its got e right suspense, horror and twist but e reason i am against it was e meaning/message tt e director concluded in tt movie.
I dun agree wif their way of dealing wif their disgust wif money which ultimately brought evil or harm to human kind. I understand ppl like to say money bring evil tis n tt, without money, we would be leaving in peace etc etc. Something which has been used n implied over n over in many films. But then wat i disliked was e route/solution they came up to counter tt. I thot it was despicable coz it was a bunch of lies n deceits to e ignorant innocent. It should be a choice not a forced environment. Ah nvm, tts a whole other story.
Back to e Lady.
I did missed a whole chunk of the movie, coz Nezumi was smsing me about meeting up e next day. But i ultimately couldnt go in the end. Anyways, i think it is better to watch it without knowing e story. But then e animation they do in e beginning of e film also told u e story somewat.
I thot it would be more interesting to find out who or wat she is meanwhile through out e film than to already know everything from e beginning. It kills e suspense and is dead on film. Ive no idea y he did tis, coz in his other movies, he would only tell u who/wat they r in the middle or end of film.
I also like e idea to haf doubts whether shes really a sea nymph from e fairy tale or tt shes lying, maybe not so much as lyin but in real shes actually a human but haf her reasons for believing not so. Or it could be like e movie Kpax, where it becums ambigious. Tt would add more depths to e film. But like i said e prologue already told u shes real (not human i meant). After all, trusts n beliefs are things not easily earned by 1st encounters wif a stranger. I feel tt its quite strange for e main lead to believe wats she says out straight. It is perfectly normal for anyone to haf doubts but u can tell he went on to find out more coz he believed in her and tt he wans to help.
But maybe we r not toking normal here.
Coz in tis movie, everyone is not tt normal in tis mansion. No, i shdnt say they r not normal, they would be jus rude. I shd jus put it as they r troubled ppl, either they haf problems cooped up in their brains, or they r inferior, or they lost hope n will to live or simply weird like only training n building e muscles of only half ur body and enjoying it.
So maybe it is gratifying to wanting to believe in something supernatural coz u feel ur life has been so fucked up anyways. Maybe. But i doubt so.
I read tt his movie, "Invicible" (spelt tis way) was very bad as well, but i googled it and no results turned out for tis. Maybe it jus wasnt shown. Or are they toking about Unbreakable? But Unbreakable was a great movie tt took everyone by storm.
They say he is predictable. I agree wif tt, coz he stood by his style. His movies would mainly deal wif supernatural/creatures, (except The Village) etc. And then there would always be a ending twist to e person/creature identities. Also, it would also haf a moral message embedded in his films.
It was similar in tis except tt they told u e whole fairy tale in e prologue. So u noe who she is, but u find out more details about her world throughout e film which isnt very interesting though.
I guess its easier to relate to aliens than sea nymps. Somehow ppl can believe in aliens/orcs/monsters/mutants but trying to picture the fairy tale as reality is no easy feat. I found it hard to bring myself into e story. If its anime/animation then its fine, but in real live action, its tough.
The story is just not realistic. But i think his focus were supposed to be on e humans and how they each overcame themselves.
The director's cameo turned out to be not a cameo but a cast character. Hes e 2nd main character and it was rather surprising. I think hes working out on his acting career as well.
The sea nymphs tasks were to come out onto land to see e chosen human (they do not noe who though) and then upon seeing them, something will be awaken in e human's heart/mind which will somehow change e world one way or another though indirectly.
I was expecting more or something even more supernatural. But e nymphs jus need to see u and within seconds it would happen and then they completed their tasks and they can go back to their world. To me tts quite strange. But e character did found out more about himself coz she can see his future. It was delayed while they were trying to get her back.
Supposedly the main lead was in love wif e nymph, but i couldnt see tt. I can tell he was desperately trying to save/help her. But tt doesnt equals to love. I mean in an ideal world, u would help unconditionally, no? Besides they had a connection, she came to him, so of coz u would help her within ur means. Also, i read tt he doesnt really wan her to leave but i didnt see tt at all in e film.
So i think some parts e writer screwed up big time. He thot he was showing tt but i totally never see those tt he intended.
E green dog creature/monster (whose task was to eat/kill e nymphs on land, no idea y) did made my fren cringed to e edge of her seat though.
Amongst all his films, tis one is e lowest budget i thot. It was entirely set in tis mansion envirnoment n a pool n e lawn which leads to alittle of e forest entrance. But nothing else, there wasnt even any wide shots to show e whole environment.
The casts werent interesting or big in tis one too. To me, it looked like a budget film so i was kinda disappointed. I expected big things from him along wif his fame. But he somewat buried himself. Maybe its jus difficult to live up to expectations.
I can accept e same predictable style tt he adores. But it needs to be backed up wif a solid good script. While tis movie wasnt one of his best, im still ok wif it. I noe i said lots of not so gd things about it. But its different. A different movie as compared to e commercialised way of doing films.
His is very raw and down to earth. Its gd to see tis kid of films coming up every now n then. Though its rare. It was like movies in the past. Very simple and true, wif less effects n gimmicks. Tis movis is all about dialogues. They tok n tok n tok and in a very slow fashion. So u might find it extremely slow in the beginning, and i believed those who dun understand his films would simply doze off.
Strangely, tis movie was rather funny at parts. And i was kinda surprised hearing SZ laughing more than usual. Most of the times she doesnt react. Or her laughter jus falls short. Even when shes watching a comedy. So it must haf worked in some ways. So i guess as much as ppl would hate tis film, i believed there r also more ppl than expected who love it as well.
I love e end where e main lead told e Lady, "Thank you for saving my life". It was very moving. In actual, he was e one who saved her life, but in return she saved him as well (although she didnt do anything), she saved him emotionally. He could let go of his past, come to terms wif it and carry on living without e guilt n all.
But their scene was quite muffled, he said it in e rain so if u r not paying attention. You would haf thot its e nymph who said it. If its so, u would haf lost e impact of tt moment. But i doubt ppl are so stupid, or maybe they r?
SZ said she didnt feel much about e film whereas i did teared and many girls did cried. So i said she was detached. As wat her own horoscope always say. She is emotional and detached. It must be such a difficult mental world to live in. Lol.
We headed to Dome afterwards. Its been so long since i last went there.
I had Gourmet Pie (Beef). Its so gd or maybe coz i sua ku. But i did enjoy it. E beef tastes like mutton strangely. She ate Cheese Crackers. E sausages were so salty, dun ever eat tis dish. Its saltiness were beyond tolerance, and e stupid waitress can tell us, "Its lidat one." So rude. I was thinking WTF.
I hope i can haf frenz who stand up and speak up (for themselves and others), but i jus dun haf tis kind of social luck. So whenever i see or hear one, i would be so impressed wif them and e way they put themselves across. Both of my sis are lidat, but i am somehow different. Lol.
Dome's service is one of e best ard, ignore tt stupid waitress though. It used to be great and it still is, I still love tt place. Wanna go there to chill again. Gonna order coffee tis time.
I hope i can catch The fast & The furious: Tokyo Drift tis week. But gotta see SZ how. Tis sequel has no link to 2 1st two at all. Kinda disappointing. But it means anyone could go catch it.

All Broken
I wan to say something about the fruits basket manga latest update.
THE 12 ZODIACS' CURSES ARE ALL NOW OFFICIALLY BROKEN!
(Damn it, so now Yuki can be wif his new gf!!! :~~~( SZ, lidat i think no way back liao... Somehow i still wish some where in the story tt Yuki can be wif Tohru... Lol. Though i noe its impossible coz e main lead is still Kyo. But I still think e "mother" thingy is a crappy excuse to separate Yuki from Tohru to remove e amibigous relationship they had in the 1st half of e manga.)
I duno about Kyo though, i doubt his is so easily broken coz he is not controlled by the main thing anyways. Im not interested in tt though. Never liked Kyo although hes like e main lead. Not even interested in his love thingy wif Tohru or his future anymore.
Sigh, i said be4 le, i seldom like main lead one. I sometimes like e villains more, depending on their stories.
Bleach = I like Renji instead of Ichigo. Though i like Byakuya most.
Naruto = I like Sasuke instead of Naruto. Though i like Gaara (hes not a villain, he became Naruto's best fren in e manga) most.
Inuyasha = I like Sesshomaru instead of Inuyasha. I like many of e villains.
Shaman King = I like Ren instead of Yoh. I also like e villain, Hao. Lol. Hes looks exactly like e main lead but i actually like e bad guy more.
Hunter X Hunter = I like Killua instead of Gon. Though i also like Kaito who became... :~~~( Sigh, living dead... Still waiting for e never completing manga...
Battle Royale = I like Mimura instead of Shuuya (u haf no reason to like him if u read e manga). Though i also like e villain, Kiriyama or something. Refering to manga.
Hikaru No Go = I like Akira instead of Hikaru. Though i like Sai most! He died! Again! :~~(
Advent Children or e FF 7 = I like Vincent more than Cloud. (Actually if u noe e game story, u wouldnt like Cloud except maybe his looks?) But strangely i like Sephiroth most.
Gravitation = I like Yuki instead of wats his name? Oh ya, Shuuichi.
Initial D = I like Ryosuke Takahashi instead of Takumi.
Full Metal Panic = I like Kurtz instead of Sousuke (wats there to like about him?). But i also like Tessa's Bro. So pretty!
Fruits Basket = I like Yuki instead of Kyo. Though i also like e crazy Ayame (he makes me laugh and hes so pretty) and Momiji.
Etc, etc. Aiyah u get e drift.
Back to e breaking of curse.
Somehow, i dun feel happy for them at all. I was moved to tears when i saw e moments after Momiji and Hiro's breaking of curse. But then now tt i saw everyones broken their curse, i actually feel kinda sad.
Maybe i empathised wif Akito too much. I totally understand her more than anything else. And e way she said Farewell to each one silently, so cold n lonely. But i do not like e way they put Akito n Tohru together. Just not really e way i like to see it. But then u r supposed to feel sad. It was a very sad and empty chapter. If u feel otherwise, i think u haf not read e manga properly or simply u do not really understand e story.
I think i tok about fruits basket another time when i can think better.

Cosplay Wedding
I jus watched some clips on the 24th June Red White Songs Battle Hits (Anime) Singapore at NUS and the 9th July Cosfest V - The Reunion at Downtown East on Stomp's site. Quite a no. of things to see if u r bored. I thot it was rather cute seeing Jolin in her cutsy outfits although shes supposed to be sexy. Lol.
Quite interesting ne.
Some gals actually sounded quite gd i thot for e anime hits battle... Kinda cute.
For e Cosfest, its also rather interesting. E interviews and the cosplayers and costumers were quite a treat to look at, although e screen is small. And i saw e familiar faces which i saw from e pics off Wingede blog. Same event right?
They kept interviewing Sesshomaru (Inuyasha), i see liao buay tahan... Hes my fav character but then tt guy!!! -_-" His fur!!! -_-" His make up!!! -_-"
And then e one who did one of e Bleach's female vice captain shinigami, i forgot tt character's name. E one wif gi-normous boobs, almost spilling out every scene. Her boobs!!! Oh my gawd!!!
But for some reasons, i actually find guys cross dressing as female characters fine. Lol. I think its still the overall look.
One gal who cosplayed a character from Gundam Seed Destiny (i dun like tis anime, i even rejected when ppl wan to lend me e dvd, even Gackt sexy influence doesnt work tis time. Lol), she said she wans to hold a Cosplay Wedding in her future. And her gd fren was supporting her grds tis n tt.
At 1st thot, i thot its fresh and interesting... I think its gonna be quite cool, and it adds alot of colors n fun to e otherwise formal n boring weddings. At least, i doubt anyone would cry at the event. But maybe ur parents n older relatives would cry abit seeing all ur guests becum cosplayers? Lol. I am so evil.
But on second thot, ur whole wedding's gonna be a joke if ur guests actually did tt. For one, i doubt any hotels would put up wif such a rukus. For two, i doubt any wedding planners will take tt up coz of impracticality and e enormous problems tt would arise (unless u pay them huge of coz). For three, i doubt any guest will turn up.
If i attend ur wedding, i am already obliged to give u a 3 figure ang bao, and on top of tt, i even need to put in a few hundred bucks, and few mths of time to do e costumes jus to attend ur wedding. I wouldnt even do tt for "best frenz". No pun intended. Doing cosplay for cosplay events is different, coz simply its an EVENT in e 1st place.
Wats e pt if some turn up in normal clothes and some turn up in costumes? It would dampen e whole mood. Imagine i am e only one who cosplayed in a table wif ur other 9 normal guests. Maybe they would be annoyed wif my ribbons dropping on e food or my sword poking at the one next to me. Lol.
If u wan to do it, its better to make sure tt e majority do it instead. The main prob tt ppl worries over wedding dinner is e attendance. Unless u r a celebrity, chances r its not full attendance. Ive not even heard of anyone's wedding being full thus far. So i bet throwing tis worry aside, u still haf to convince all ur guests to cosplay.
Wait wait, i am not targetting e gal who came up wif tis idea. But i am targetting at tt concept.
U also better come up wif a proper agenda on e events tts going to happen. If not, u would jus see a Sailormoon eating shark fins, gobble gobble, clap clap, drink drink then BYE BYE, all rush home for e last train/bus. I cant even begin to imagine.
Granted, u can do a outdoor event like at Fort Canning hill, etc... Do a buffet instead of dinner. So tt at least theres more space for falling boxes, ribbons, wigs, swords. And e cosplayers can congregate and leave e normal guests as normal guests at e other side of e field.
Haha, youngsters will always be youngsters. Very opinionated, very idealistic (to their own perceptions, can means can attitude). Although she is e same age as me, lol *dig a hole n hide inside* But then having said all tt. I still think its quite cool. It will be a pretty gd "show" for e rest of e guests. Not only tt, its e 1st in sg, u can even call e press for interviews n shoots.
I myself did mentioned be4 tt it would be nice if my wedding is LOTR themed (ok, dun laugh). But i never expect my guests to do anything. I certainly dun expect anyone carrying fake swords, or elvish ears or coming to the hotel bare foot. Lol. But my door gift is e ONE RING TO RULE THEM ALL RING lor. Cool eh? Haha.
But one thing i must grumble though. How come ALL the cosplayers (those interviewed) all spoke in broken/bad/beng-lian-ish singlish one? Very bad for public viewing u noe. Wait e government/parents or whoever say those who like anime/cosplays all cannot speak properly then ban it like e old PCK scripts how?
Imagine they say, "Ive been watching the broadcast of the cosplay events and i realised all of them couldnt speak proper english. Anime must be bad influence for e young generation, so we must ban them all! Stop your kids from watching animes." Blah blah...Then how? Dun lidat leh...
Ppl already say we bloggers dun write in proper english, shortform no GD, singlish no good, say we tok nonsense, irresponsible, tis n tt liao, if cannot watch anime liao how? Im not toking about *er hem* those down *cough* loaded ones. If legally cannot watch liao how?
hurhurhur?
Quite interesting ne.
Some gals actually sounded quite gd i thot for e anime hits battle... Kinda cute.
For e Cosfest, its also rather interesting. E interviews and the cosplayers and costumers were quite a treat to look at, although e screen is small. And i saw e familiar faces which i saw from e pics off Wingede blog. Same event right?
They kept interviewing Sesshomaru (Inuyasha), i see liao buay tahan... Hes my fav character but then tt guy!!! -_-" His fur!!! -_-" His make up!!! -_-"
And then e one who did one of e Bleach's female vice captain shinigami, i forgot tt character's name. E one wif gi-normous boobs, almost spilling out every scene. Her boobs!!! Oh my gawd!!!
But for some reasons, i actually find guys cross dressing as female characters fine. Lol. I think its still the overall look.
One gal who cosplayed a character from Gundam Seed Destiny (i dun like tis anime, i even rejected when ppl wan to lend me e dvd, even Gackt sexy influence doesnt work tis time. Lol), she said she wans to hold a Cosplay Wedding in her future. And her gd fren was supporting her grds tis n tt.
At 1st thot, i thot its fresh and interesting... I think its gonna be quite cool, and it adds alot of colors n fun to e otherwise formal n boring weddings. At least, i doubt anyone would cry at the event. But maybe ur parents n older relatives would cry abit seeing all ur guests becum cosplayers? Lol. I am so evil.
But on second thot, ur whole wedding's gonna be a joke if ur guests actually did tt. For one, i doubt any hotels would put up wif such a rukus. For two, i doubt any wedding planners will take tt up coz of impracticality and e enormous problems tt would arise (unless u pay them huge of coz). For three, i doubt any guest will turn up.
If i attend ur wedding, i am already obliged to give u a 3 figure ang bao, and on top of tt, i even need to put in a few hundred bucks, and few mths of time to do e costumes jus to attend ur wedding. I wouldnt even do tt for "best frenz". No pun intended. Doing cosplay for cosplay events is different, coz simply its an EVENT in e 1st place.
Wats e pt if some turn up in normal clothes and some turn up in costumes? It would dampen e whole mood. Imagine i am e only one who cosplayed in a table wif ur other 9 normal guests. Maybe they would be annoyed wif my ribbons dropping on e food or my sword poking at the one next to me. Lol.
If u wan to do it, its better to make sure tt e majority do it instead. The main prob tt ppl worries over wedding dinner is e attendance. Unless u r a celebrity, chances r its not full attendance. Ive not even heard of anyone's wedding being full thus far. So i bet throwing tis worry aside, u still haf to convince all ur guests to cosplay.
Wait wait, i am not targetting e gal who came up wif tis idea. But i am targetting at tt concept.
U also better come up wif a proper agenda on e events tts going to happen. If not, u would jus see a Sailormoon eating shark fins, gobble gobble, clap clap, drink drink then BYE BYE, all rush home for e last train/bus. I cant even begin to imagine.
Granted, u can do a outdoor event like at Fort Canning hill, etc... Do a buffet instead of dinner. So tt at least theres more space for falling boxes, ribbons, wigs, swords. And e cosplayers can congregate and leave e normal guests as normal guests at e other side of e field.
Haha, youngsters will always be youngsters. Very opinionated, very idealistic (to their own perceptions, can means can attitude). Although she is e same age as me, lol *dig a hole n hide inside* But then having said all tt. I still think its quite cool. It will be a pretty gd "show" for e rest of e guests. Not only tt, its e 1st in sg, u can even call e press for interviews n shoots.

Crabby Durian
Last fri, i went to e famous amk seafood place to eat again wif my 2nd sis, her bf and mum.
After being there so many times, i seriously think its my fav from all ive eaten. Although ive not eaten e similar famous n cheap Balestier one, isit Balestier or Jalan Kayu? Jalan Kayu besides prata got sell famous seafood or not ar? But anyways, since tis one is so near my place, i haf no reason to go there. Besides, my fav dishes are one and only here anyways. Its addiction.
But i haf no idea wat bus to take if theres no car. Can walk also but i not sure e way too. Lol. Although it was only a less than 10 mins ride, my motion sickness did kicked in coz i didnt put e plaster. But i bet tts coz of my sis's bad driving skills. Coz later on, when her bf took e wheel i was ok. But it may be due to the multiple turnings ard e car park as well.
We brought my granny there some time back and she was saying like, "I eat tis crab liao i go back M'sia no need to eat already!" Lol, cant blame her, tt night, e crabs were especially fat and juciy and sweet and cheap obviously compared to atas resturants. They say eat crabs must choose dates within a mth to go. And also when e moon is out or something. Not sure though.
E auntie did tell us the crabs not so fat today, but i thot it was still good, it was still very fresh and juicy. I finally ate their signature Claypot Crab Noodle tis time. If i go there again, i bring my cam along. Its very nice. The soup is very creamy. We also ordered e creamy butter crabs as usual and e buns.
I love their toufu, must try! If u go there, must try their Claypot Crab, Creamy Butter Crab and the Crispy Toufu. Its enuff to fill u up till u puke. Ok, maybe not depending on how many u go wif. Amazing thing is u will be addicted to these 3 dishes, and they r not found anywhere else.
We had beer and a hearty meal. But i can tell e 3 of them not full yet. So we headed to eat e most amazing durian at one oolu oolu carpark. Beer ok to eat durian lah, dun eat when u drink hard liquor though. I think i drank e most tt night, duno y. Lol.
My sis had been raving about it ever since shes eaten it. She said e durian is e best, much better than any D24, XO or watever u've eaten at Geylang. She said its so creamy it tasted like ice cream. And e seed is extremely small. So u haf like big scoops of them.
But of coz, it comes wif a price lah. One durian about 30 bucks. Can eat one crab le.
The stall is located at the strangest place. Its within a car park. Very dark and oolu along wat, Damsy Road, Demsy Road? Duno wats e spelling. U see many rich ppl and sports cars driving in for their durians and also their Shan Zhu(2) (fruit), wats shan zhu in el?
I was very curious about their Shan Zhu coz by the time we left, they were almost empty. So e bf bought one bag for us. Very nice though ex. 5 bucks per bag, inside about 10. But very sweet and juicy and fat. Nice! The uncle said got one lady has been patronising him for the past 10 yrs, but only buy his shan zu, she never buy his durian, duno y... Lol.
His business has been going on i think for about 20 yrs. And looking at the location n stall, i bet hes earning lots of money. But we went too late. His durians had almost ran out. We were e last customers sitting down. He rejected e rest.
We asked him wat kind of durian hes selling, but he refused to tell us. He only kept saying, "Good durian!"... Lol, maybe he planted himself using his own secret methods. Lol.
Unfortunately, e durians werent great. It was good but nothing special like wat they say. So we gave e durians back and he kept opening and finding gd ones for us. My sis was disappointed tt i didnt get to taste e kind she was toking about. Maybe go earlier next time.
The uncle said we didnt even eat 1 KG, and e bf said, "Ur durian lidat how to eat 1 KG?"... Lol, so he gave us discounts and apologised. All e best ones must be sold le... So sad... But i did eat one seed tts especially good but one how to judge.
So maybe next time i guess. But i was full like mad. Hearty meal. I think its me lah, every time i go out wif ppl for food sure something goes wrong one.
I can go wif SZ next time and order e Claypot one, got noodle in e soup, i think she will like. Its soupy, healthier and instead of rice she can haf noodles. Coz her family always eat rice when they eat seafood or something, which was so strange compared to mine. We never eat rice when we eat chinese food outside. Lol.
But i wan to intro her e Creamy Butter and toufu, so maybe another time. I doubt we 2 girls can finish.

I duno y but Wingede's entry just pierced my heart.
http://wingede.blogspot.com/2006/07/musing-on-best-friends.html
Actually i noe y, obviously. I will be lying thru my teeth if i said i duno y.
But wat can i say... I cant say much anymore. Actually i dun wan to.

Pirates
Pirates is gd. Although not a movie tt everyone will like. Ppl wif a too serious attitude and those who dun laugh at movies, wouldnt find it enjoyable.
While Pirates is a adventure movie, its mainly a comedy, a comedy adventure basically.
I knew tt there's going to be 3 Pirate movies (trilogy, bah!)... But wat i didnt expect was the continuation from e second to e third. Tis movie ended wif no ending, thus expecting u to wait for e next. Tis is so bek cek u noe, much like watching Stephen Chow's Qi Tian Da Sheng (Monkey God), which left ppl cursing and throwing things at e screen. Ok i am exaggerating.
At least for LOTR, e directors and writers knew they had to end each one wif a resolution, tis is thinking ahead from an audience pt of view. And doing tis doesnt neccessarily turn ppl off fr e 3rd. Doesnt mean u leave ppl hanging, ppl will surely watch ur sequel again after wat, 1 yr?
I cant deny i like e movie coz of my fav male actor, no not Orlando Bloom (i only like legolas, i dun like e real Orlando Bloom, lol), its Johnny Depp. Without him, i tell u e whole movie cannot watch one. He is e spirit of e film, e main character obviously, but its his acting. Simply amazing. He transforms into his character seamlessly.
Some ppl always tell me they love Johnny Depp as well, but these ppl never watch his films. Even when they somehow watched his films, they didnt noe its him until i tell them. Duh.
Johnny Depp to me is e most charismatic actor. I like him ever since e melancholic character in Edward's Scissors hand.
Anyways, hes damn funny in the movie as usual. Very very funny, hes still in his forever drunken mode for Jack Sparrow, which i like alot. Keira Knightley is still as lovely as usual.
For tis one, i thot e CG is even better than e 1st. While e 1st was already very gd for e zombie effects, tis one is even better. I thot e make up is amazing as well. Totally on par, if not better than LOTR. But LOTR was too huge scale so maybe i shdnt compare them. Lol. However, e water effects are still too fake, i think for CG its still yrs more to go till they make a break thru in water effects.
However, i did find e movie too long. 2 and a half is way too long for e plot. It simply wasnt tight enuff especially for e 1st hr. For e 1st half of the film, u wouldnt really noe wat they r saying, e relations, e adventure.
You wouldnt really understand them until e whole thing explains itself later. Theres too much politics, internal affairs which while were in relation to e characters but not drivin e story. Knowledge of e 1st Pirate movie is not neccessary, but i guarantee u would be quite lost at least for e 1st half. And without subtitles, their English accent proved to be quite tough for many.
I had an enjoyable time looking at familiar faces and their effects tis time. Some things did blew me away. I am still going to catch e 3rd. Its still gd movie, and its worth ur 9.50 bucks. But like e 1st, it is a forgettable film. In fact, its quite a blur to me already.
Ppl after e movie said they shd re-watch e 1st, but seriously its not entirely neccessary unless u cant haf enuff of the characters. =)
FYI jus to fill up e hole, e last character tt appeared is e original Captain of e Black Pearl (ghost ship) which Jack Sparrow stole from e prev movie. Tts pretty much all u need to noe.
