E 6 of us nearly died, wif e exception of a guy whos although sick but still got to come work coz they say sick also mus come coz cannot miss training. Anyways, hes such a maths person, he suddenly got so enthusiastic over e maths probs... Hes so happy today... Lol. He said its so exciting n challenging whereas e rest of us were like brain dead.

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.

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.

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!!!!

Karma karma~~~~

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...

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?

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.

Best Friends

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.

Dog Habits

When my son was still a pup, he went thru e general phase of eating his own poop. Ok, now i hear u say WAHHHHHHHHHTTTTTT, and EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW~ Anyways, when i told my frenz then, they all went like puking (not literally). I dun blame them coz they are not dog owners anyways.

Generally, ppl cringe at the sight of seeing animal pee n poo or dirty things anyways. Much less cleaning them. But tts not wat i wanted to say.

However, i am extremely pissed when dog owners complained, get angry or becum traumatised when they experienced their dogs doing the same thing. I can close one eye if its their 1st dog and they expect e dogs to be holy moly like in e movies (duh -__-) . But after e 1st, u still complain and tell e whole world how disgusting how traumatising how... watever.

The thing is puppies in general do tt. While it can be a sign of food malnutrition or poor developed digestive systems, it is a perfectly common phase tt puppies go thru. Puppies are like babies, they duno until u teach them. If u wan them to stop eating poop sooner, then u as a parent is responsible for it.

If its not e case of poor health which u shd bring ur puppies for checkups, you need to discipline ur pets. Warm food obviously becums more appealing than hard cold biscuits, no?

Dogs sniff their poo after doing it, they do tt to access their own health, though i haf no idea wats tt for since they cant do anything to themselves anyways. So u can imagine wat kind of report babies give to themselves. But when they eat poo, chances are either u dun feed them enuff, or they r not getting enuff nutrients. And also, coz their digestive systems are not fully developed, their food are not fully digested, so they will treat it as food and eat it again.

When u noe these hard cold facts, wats so disgusting? I was much more concerned y he was doing it so i could help him.

I myself played wif overturned poo when i was a infant (small kid?), or so i heard, and my mum wasnt even sure if i had eaten it. Lol. But tts my mum's fault coz she wasnt looking at me. She doesnt really take care of children and went to do her own things most of the time. So i always ended up in minor accidents. Even so, she didnt go ard saying, "My baby so disgusting, she eat her own shit, dun get near her!"...

Ok, back to e puppies.

Wat annoys me is tt when u tell ppl such things and u dun explain properly. Ppl becum repulsed by the idea. Some even said "tts y i converted from being a dog lover to a cat lover coz u dun wan to see ur pet doing ugly things". WTF???????

Come on lah, while a kitten may not eat poo (i duno, never kept kittens be4), i am sure as kittens they do alot of funny dirty things as well.

My pup though 6 mths old when i brought him back was facing alot of toilet prob. Becoz he was in a small cage for 6 bloody mths, his idea of sleeping area and toilet fused together. So besides eating poop, he also roll about in them. But all was solved after sending him for toilet training, some discipline, and his own mental n physical growth.

On a side note, u noe my pup couldnt walk properly coz his limbs were poorly developed in a small cage. I was extremely disgusted wif e way tt pet farm treated pets. But anyways, tt didnt matter anymore, i noe he is happy now.

I also concluded my son's poor mental growth. I think he is retarded. But no matter, i am still going to look after him till e last of his days which i hoped is at least 10 yrs later.

The thing is, when u decide to keep a pet. U accept their dirty side as well. Same as babies, they also poo n pee, u also still haf to clean them up, unless u r rich n pampered u can tell ur maid to do tt. But if not, u also got to do it one mah.

I lost my train of thots somewat, and i dun really noe wat i wan to say coz i am very tired. Damn!

E difference is tt, eventually babies all grow up and clean themselves. But accept reality in tt, dogs/cats while they could be toilet trained, they can never clean wipe their own back side and throw their poo away.

So e next time when u decide to becum a pet owner. Besides all e sweet little moments u wish to get out of them. Ask urself whether u can handle e dirty side which is perfectly normal but will surely last for e rest of their lifetime. U need more time when they r in baby phase.

Its a much tougher job to look after Kittens, u've got to feed them once every hr and if they r too small, u even got to help them pee (i found tis out fr Battle Royale Manga, lol).

Baby animals will puke some times coz of poor digestive system. They may be stricken wif diseases if u do not give them proper hygiene. They can be allergic to e detergent u use for mopping and develop rash and lose all their fur. They poo n pee all over coz they haf no bloody idea wats a "toilet". Due to poor control, they will sometimes pee, poo or puke on u.

They will be pretty much senseless like kids knowing nothing, so tis is the toughest phase and u need to discipline them to do wats right.

But after they grow up, it will be fine. If u r so scared of dirty things or complain work too bz, no time, etc but still wan to keep a pet for watever reason then get a grown up pet, but u may still need to toilet train them anyways. U also need to discipline them anyways, so to me theres no diff. But its so much harder to discipline a grown up pet.

Just remember, cuteness, sweetness, companionship, comes wif poo, pee, puke, diseases, illnesses as well. Its all part of e package.

I also complain sometimes his poo very smelly, but i dun blame him nor scold him, nor do i traumatise ppl. My tolerance level for smelly n dirty things is not as high as some ppl, but i accepted him for everything e day i decided to take care of him. Theres always counter measures to overcome these problems if u r willing to put in e effort. Research research research! Dun sit there n expect things to solve themselves or others to feed u wif information.

When u r clear wif tt, even if u wake up n e 1st thing u see beside ur face is poo. U calmly jus clean it up and its back to a normal start of a day.

Lol. U let him sleep wif u mah, sometimes "accidents" happen one lah. E things they do come back to ur own responsibility one lah, how u take care of him, shows wat kind of pet they will grow to be.

Though i certainly did not impart my lazy genes to him. He must haf learnt it from TV. Lol.

Coming Up

I forgot to write about Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest which i saw 2 weeks back. Will do tt tmr. I suddenly wan to watch LOTR again... As in e making offs... Hmm, maybe i'll do it later since i noe i wun be able to sleep tonight.

I slept 12 hrs last night can u believe it... I was soooo tired, was knocked out early on my bed. To suffer from tt unintentional indulgence, i would be sleepless tonight, oh crap.

Although theres not many gd movies tis yr, but i haf 2 movies coming up. Lady in the Water and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

I mentioned i never miss writer cum director M Night Shyamalan's works. Hes e only writer cum director tt stood out to me. And his cameo in every movie never fails to make me chuckle, but sad thing is, nobody noes him. I am usually e only one who noes when he appears. Lol. I think ppl shd give more credit to writers n directors, not to say he does both of them.

Peter Jackson cameoed in all his LOTR trilogy, but again, im sure nobody notices.

Hope tis one doesnt freak me out. E synopsis is different fr wat i gathered fr e trailer though, so maybe it wun be tt scary after all. Please dun let tis one be a disappointment. I love ur prev works other than The Village.

Fast and Furious 3rd installment, wats up wif trilogies these days? Anyways, i love car movies... And unlike others who "claimed" they love car movies, i watch them, those showin on cinemas i meant.

The 1st one was great, 2nd one was disappointing but it never failed to satisfy guys due to u noe who and not to say "sexy" scenes. Cars, babes, sex (though never show la), wat else do guys need? -_-" I was pretty much angry at the 2nd one, Too Fast Too Furious, for its lack of plot and boring races. Old Hong Kong car racing movies were alot better ok! But i heard e 3rd installment received a raving response. Since it was already shown in M'sia and many car freak lovers all caught it.

And i hope tis one's gonna be great since its based in Tokyo, my fav city. I heard tis one is awesome, i hope i wun be disappointed. Its been quite some time since i last caught a satisfying car racing movie.

Newton Circus

Went Orchard wif SZ last sat, i haf been meeting her once a week ever since she started working. Lol. Duno she got tired of me or not... Muahaha. 1 week will be quite long for me staying home, but for her while working, it passes like lightning.

Every sat till 2.30 pm she would haf tuition at yck. So afterwards if shes got no other plans, we would meet up. We had lunch 1st at amk at our usual hangout, e bubble tea hut. Orchard very crowded, i dun really like to eat there.

Wanted to eat my fav Curry Chicken Rice but then only left one, so she ate tt and i ate Curry Scissors Chicken Rice, which is basically chicken cutlet, and jus a miserable dash of curry over rice. Oh, and a sunny side up. I took most of her curry though, coz she doesnt finish it unlike me. Lol...

We walked ard, and Forever 21 (my fav clothes brand, my style, lots of lace n diamante, although i only haf 2 tops of theirs, ex mah) is having a sale. I walked in and i fell in love immediately wif so many of their clothes, though not on sale. But then i cannot buy, so sad... The fitting Q is so damn long as usual, even if i can buy i also dun haf e patience to wait so long.

And then i headed to Isetan, saw many sunglasses i love. I like most of the collection, but theres 2 i especially love. Both of e same design, but different color, one is yellow, one is turquoise or very light blue...

I like both coz different looks, cant decide btw them. One costs 60 bucks each. Sigh, cannot buy, so sad... SZ said if she strike a fortune she would get for me... Sigh... I wanted a green sun glass for e longest time, but unfortunately, i still haven seen any nice green sunglasses. I did see at either Mini Toons or More Than Words, but haf not tried it coz they like dun haf mirrors.

I think i am gonna make a collection on sunglasses in e future, i wan aviator shades as well. I wan a white pair, yellow pair, green pair, blue pair, purple pair, red pair (haf liao but got crack), brown pair and silver pair. All i wan got crystals one. Or diamante at least. Nah, crystals better.

We sat at Cineleisure for like 2 hrs chatting. Then we couldnt decide on wat to haf for dinner. SZ said she wans to eat cockles, at 1st she said we go chomp chomp. But i scared chomp chomp closes quite early coz it was rather late then and chomp chomp is rather inaccessible.

So i suggested Newton Circus instead, since both of us haven been to e newly renonvated one. Although e place is smoky and hot as hell. E food is heavenly~ Lol. Its been so long since i last ate my fav BBQ Sambal Sting Ray.

I forgot to take pics of e very full n crowded place coz i was too hot... Nvm next time. E auntie chopped seats for me, though we missed a gd airy spot outside, coz we didnt hear e auntie shouting.

I immediately ordered coke wif salt to calm myself down. Lol. And then had to order sugar cane again to reduce e food's heatiness.


We order cockles (her fav, used to be my fav also, now my 3rd fav), sting ray (my fav), oyster egg (my fav), and Gong Gong (both 1st time)...

I dun really like e oyster egg but its enuff to suppress my craving... Its very oily, not enuff tapioca flour, but its crispy enuff and e osyters are big, fat n juicy. Ok lah, medium size.


The Sting Ray is nice~ Juicy but she complained too much chilli, abit er xin, but i complained NOT ENUFF!!! Lol.


The cockles came 1st, and when she ate it she said shes in heaven... Muahaha... Its very nice, very fresh, i like. Not many spoilt ones, she only ate one spoilt, i threw away some spoilt ones, i can tell mah, expert! Lol.

The Gong Gong was very nice. I like! Actually i like all shell seafood. She asked me whether eat liao will becum more "Gong" or not then i laughed and said then eat more "Chong" (spring onions) lor, from e oyster egg.

I also like La La coz of e sauce. But didnt order coz scared cannot finish. I like sambal squid also, but not every stall cook nice one. Some very hard i dun like.

The place seemed bigger. And last time e toilet is the kind u put 10 cents then turn e bar and go in. No more of tt, jus put 10 cents into e small metal box near e entrance. There would be a auntie standin there telling u 10 cent, 10 cent. Anyways, even if u dun put nobody will find out.

I did even though i only wan to wash my hand coz SZ wans to use e toilet. Nvm lah, 20 cents only. She works so hard standing there also.

We were so full and smelly later on. I couldnt stand e way i smelt though... Then we headed to Yishun's Mac, stayed there for hrs and then i took e night rider back. SZ, u quickly go take ur driving liscense leh...

I wore e necklace SZ bought it weeks back. I mentioned it be4 but didnt take pic.


I cropped it so tt u wouldnt be staring at my boobs. Lol. Very cute i like. Saw it at a push cart at Suntec. 5 Bucks, SZ bought for me. So sweet.

I saw one handsome dude beside my table, he caught my attention immediately. But as i took many glances, chey, i noe him one, hes my pri sch fren. But of coz he wouldnt recognise me. He was already e most handsome kid in my class then, i jus didnt expect him to look even more sharper now... Lol.

He got skin problems then though but luckily not on his face, and i am glad hes ok now. Though i still see some scars on his limbs... But can tell he got rid of tt prob. Hes most probably flirting wif e gal beside him, lol. E grp of 3 looks like classmates.

Hes e ah beng kind since young, during pri sch, u can tell those in the beng/lian makings, he was one of them. I saw him once during sec, he was still very gd looking, e pai kia man man look... Lol. Hes got many tattoos all over now.

3 of them dun really tok, they were drawing constantly in a notebook and on each other's hands. Lol.

Fate is such a strange thing. We r so near but yet so far away from each other. =)

Anyways, i miss e food already.

Cheesy Creamy Mushroom

I cooked my creamy cheese prata last week. I perfected my receipe though i changed something tts not according to plan. And now it tastes great, although it wasnt as cheesy as my prev, coz i cheapskate, i wanted to save e cheese for other use.

But i noe e taste would be excellent if i jus let e cheese go... Lol.

Instead of doing e creamy cheese, i did creamy cheese mushroom sauce. I like!


I grilled e chicken one lor... E color is so beautiful.




Tis one is e next next day. I used up e remaining ingredients but used chicken breasts instead. Equally nice! I like. And healthy too!


Yum!




It looks alot but only abit in real life...


I used white shrooms, i love white shrooms...

I saw one creamy mushroom rice thingy... When im in a gd mood, i will try cook tt one... But then cooking on a pan from raw rice to cooked rice is a big chore. And will use up alot of time n gas. So see how lah, but im curious how it turns out though...

My sis just came home (3+pm) coz shes got nothing to do, gd hor? Leave house near 10 am, then come back so early and earn so much somemore... Where to find? Hurhurhur?

Anyways, my pics are preloaded so my post entry timings r not actual, i haf another entry for tmr. If i dun load e pics 1st, i noe i will take ages to blog these entries... Lol.

I am hungry, going to buy groceries later. Making sandwich and salad tonight! Cant wait.
