punch.drunk.pooi...

its been quite some time since the last post. Somehow the procrastinator in me is yelling to snuggle in bed and to hell with the rest. Which incidentally was what i was doing right until ytd. Had a ghastly interview with *** Bank for a Personal Banker position, didn't go too well in my opinion, but keeping ma fingers crossed (toes included). Anyhow, need to do this thing for an irritating interesting guy .. Happy belated Birthday Dwee !!

Right, now that i have gotten it off my chest, this bugger will (hopefully) cease to remind me that I DIDNT WISH HIM BUT LITA DID on the actual day which incidentally fell on the same day as my ex-colleague ! Yikes, birthdays always creeping up on you like that.. speaking of which.. thanks for the Fountain thingie and lime thingie drink (plus those like, what.. 15 bottles of beer on the table !!)















Yawns, think the second person in me is asking me ever so temptingly to hibernate till christmas !!! OOh !! I'm going SPAIN for this holiday !!!! harhaha, courtesy of theboyfriend !! Yeay .. but i'll do justice to that whole trip in good time. Meanwhile, sigh i am gonna miss that girl when she leaves for Aussie .. :(

















p.s Good luck for your exams darling !

games galore

been having trouble with posts lately, so had to separate them into 2 especially with photos.. yikes.. anyways, had loads of fun with this silly game called THE ANIMAL GAME (coincidence ?!?! -fake astonishment-)... laa laa laaa


games .. 

uniform gungho ..

its been the craziest party ever with all of us in our uniforms, some alittle too cosy for comfort while the others.. alittle to far for the imagination to fathom. Of coz i wont really register what i'm saying but u can always ask me i suppose ! haraha, alittle cranky now from the lack of satisfied cravings ! Darn, i swear crystal jade porridge never looked so good before . Ooh well .. these are some of the photos during the makan time and while we were fooling around, someone showed up !! My poor lita was shocked for that moment thinking it was a policeman !


uniform party ! 

so as u can see from the below, my dashing policeman turned out to be my Mr A (i'm starting to think of an alternative for this abreviation, somehow theboyfriend seems close to mind!).. anyway, just as well, my parents dropped by (well, considering how its their roof, i would consider them dropping by my little party before proceeding to the rest of their house !) Well then, some special guests.....


special guest appearance :) 

chestnuts roasting..

Its christmas once again ! Needless to say, its my favourite season even if it means spending it in humid Singapore ! Somehow people seem nicer when its nearing christmas or perhaps its just my biasness ! Anyhow, was snapping some photos of the lightings along chjimes and they were resplendent !



Ooh well, guess i have been slacking lately and havent been that religious on the entries ! (So much for priding myself in being hardworking !) But its been a great last day at work in that xx office ! Especially my lunch kakis who were so saccharinely sweet in giving me this farewell gift ...



which consisted of these goodies... *awwww*




Anyway .. had lunch with my Mr A before meeting my parents and my dad was vehemently animating to us this young busker who can play the drums very well. I've heard of that young kid to say the least, but after watching, i had no idea a cute young boy like him can really play so well ! H'es so cute i swear i wanted to kidnap him home !!!! He even puts my egoistical brudder to shame !!! Here's some snaps of that child prodigy at what he does best !



also presenting.. my dad the photo spoiler.... he loves to stick a part or piece of him into my camera circumference, circumventing any oportunity for me to take a nice shot... thankfully i managed to when greedy him went to 'admire' the cakes !



and some more showcase of my beloved/s !



finally.. as we were strolling back to the car, we couldnt resist taking a few more shots of the food republic @ wisma ! The hokkien mee is delicious but crowd-fearing people beware, here u get to experience how it feels to scramble to seats the moment the previous occupants lift their arses... nevertheless.. enjoy ..

double or nothing ..

before i start.. notice smth ?

well done.. now u got it (or if u haven't noticed, i've been updating my posts daily)

okae, now back to the entry proper. Now that the final official academic appointment is over, it's time to celebrate (well, sort of until lita finishes her last paper on the 24th !). I think most of us had weird comments for the interview, i know i certainly did for one, it's finally over ! We can now burn the papers (nah, wait kena for pollution by the mahtars-police) or we could throw them over the balcony (maybe not , wait kena for killer-litter), or we could just sell them to the karang guni man (we're singaporeans thru n thru i tell u ~)

Anyhow, think this is gonna be yet another long one, seeing how much time i actually get to have on my own while temping, i doubt that any of them will actually come across this site, but if ure one of them, hullo there !

So anyway, couple of weeks ago while munching those oohh-la-la mac breakfast, we came across the topic of childhood. How it was like then compared to now. Guess what, i got ostracized yet again for being a kinderland kid ! Here's some excerpts from the little conversation...

-enter chicken little spastic dance on mac telly-
me : cool ! finally a childhood story on digital ..
Q n Ms L : *blank stare*
me : u knoe, chicken little, chicken little ?!?! *flaps wings*
Q n Ms L : huh ?!?!
me : the sky is falling ?!?! remb that story ?? the bedtime story ?
Q n Ms L : *blank look*

and the conversation deteriorated quite drastically about this point ... apparently there are some things that PAP kids know that i didn't ..

1. They got karang guni man, Beng-gali (no racist comment here) & mahtar (police)

me.. i got bogeyman & lucifer - both courtesy of my uncle ben

2. They got hantum bola n poison ball

me.. i got dodge ball - they made a fuss when i sed they were the same

3. They got macoroni n watery cabbage soup in kindergarten

me.. i had spaggetti n naps in kinderland n nice little nursery rhymes like ring a round a roses..

4. They got beatings when they were naughty (n i am suddenly reminded of chung's sword cane fighting scene with his mom)

me.. i got a handslap from mom, at most (minus the time i got tied up and locked in the room) - of coz out of my grand-dad's earshot, he can get alittle overprotective of me even where my mom's concern.

and the rest are up to ur imagination. suddenly i feel like that white kid in Peter's Russell standup !

yikes.. childhood.. was a gruelling time.. for my parents ! My mom's considered nt having anymore after me plus she wanted to vote me for most spoilt child in the century. so i guess u got a glimpse of how i was then. pfffp..

okae, next up ..

i used to not really like cab drivers very much ?! Especially those who go on and on about the government and all (i swear if i were travelling from boon lay to the east side, gladly will i risk alighting on the expressways to escape that). Anyhow, on the morning of my interview, I was late (which happens only occasionally !) I got on a cab and kinda expected the usual chit chat, but this uncle (affectionately known as Micheal) was real nice and at the last instance, I forgot that I didn’t have much cash in my purse. Did a panic check with uncle if he accepted card and he sed he just sent his for repair !!

ooh great.. what a good start to my day ! *groans* ..

until he went .. ‘ nebermind girl, uncle don’t mind…how much u have u give me can already..’

-flushing red-

“thank u uncle …, so sorry …”

to which he again replied … “ no need girl, u take care, good luck in everything..”

I think I should visit the singapore pools… ! How often do u get such a nice cabbie like that ?!?!

a long overdue tribute

to my daddie !! A man who's toiled for years, who's been a great father, fabulous husband, wonderful son, tireless chaffeur and incessant breadwinner in my family. Here's all the nice things for the one born 46 years ago and loved by everyone...


daddie's birthday (",) 

incidentally, mom prepared a scrumptious japanese dinner consisting of chawamushi, tempura and shishamo. *yummie* so there .. hope this big guy had fun those 2 days after being tossed and shussed out by us on the eve of his bdae. We wanted to surprise him (we swear we did ! despite oogling at the bdae cake), so we (and i mean mom most of the time) cooked up a lousy plan of mom wanting him to kill the roach in the living as a divergence while i lit the candles at 12 am. But Guess what ?!? he didn't leave the living room after looking for the phantom roach and i was stuck in the toilet for a whole 8 mins before he stomped back into the room. It was hilarious coz he knew it all along and we thot he didnt. All in all, it was a great day .. i love my family .. n yesh, even my erratic sista !

sorry for the default fonts and all.. i swear i am getting lazy..
then again, when havent i been otherwise ?!?!

damn these pesky things...

man, either i've got too much time on my hands or my imagination is really running .. and it doesn't seem like it has the intention to stop anytime soon. But to cut the whole story short, i think i am experiencing that whole decision and cross road shit. The last time i did that, some fella got hurt, but i digress, like it or not, one serving of quarter life crisis coming right up. Hell, what's with this quarter life thing anyway, isn't the average lifespan of a singaporean girl supposed to be like 70 at most (or at least thats what the demo says !). Now u see what i mean by cranky ? I think i bring it to a whole new level ! Damn ! Dang those PMS too, while we are at this subject !

speaking of pms, think my blog is really in its worst form of lacklustre-ness. (think colors associated to PMS , green with envy, blue everydays and red-hot fury, u get my drift) Anyways, i'm trying to get more photos uploaded onto this site from my first ball-game. Well technically speaking, its a basketball game between the PERTH Wildcats & Brisbane Bullets. Needless to say, most were rooting for them Wildcats (same goes for their cheerleaders - sure were an attractive bunch) this being their temporary "home ground". But it was good nevertheless, the match i mean, though i have no complains about the cheerleaders. They sure put those local ones to shame, at least their figures would ! Again i'm deviating from my little nutty tale, shouldnt really let this happen again u knoe ! Okie, so it was a close match but i had to leave at half time, thanks to my mr. A ! Speaking of which, poor chap is being tortured by SaaMoooUuee ! Most of them gets arse-poked with those assignments way before the exams. Maybe it's just me, or am i really lacking in the academic department ? Ooh well, at least something to ponder while he's happily lamenting to himself. (Note to self : Smile or half smile when he's talking to me abt schoolwork that i have absolutely no idea abt ! ) :)

a cuppa tea in central perk ..

I've been watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S these days and as i was watching i was struck by how much friendship is worth. Not that i measure friendship with the materialistic pleasures of our quizotic lives, yet sometimes i wonder who are the ones who will be there for me when i take subjugative setback. I'm a rather private person and while we're at that, the fascade portrayed to others couldnt be more repudiated. Ooh well, maybe its the waiting for christmas that set me off. But sometimes i really want to hang on to friends whom i've crossed path with in that incarnadine garden of eden and hope that nothing will divert our attention. I guess even as time and tide waits for no man, so does change. This is a rather detrimental natured post, so i shld really stop soon. All these negative vibes are really doing derogatory clangings to my ego. So long folks.

me

itsy bitsy teeny weenie..

its been crazy recently abeit all the late sleeping and rising, i've developed a routine for the noctural lifestyle and i guess that's why my health as taken a lashing finally. Anyways, still trying my best to keep this site up.. yikes.. nite u guys !

spinner's end ..

+spinner's end+ 

Damn this is infuriating ! After spending 15 mins typing on an entry, I am directed to a lost in connection page ! Damn ! Anyway, so much for learning the hard way that it always better to copy everything before u hit the post entry sign ! Arggh.. after all the exhilaration over the end of papers, I am NOT going to let this dampen my mood ! *Groan*

Anyways, this promises to be a long entry for sure. The lapse in type-ins for the past couple of weeks are sparse out owing to those damned exams save for the grace of those wonderful, wonderful company in school ! Its finally the end of 3 tedious years in RMIT, and almost by tradition, it has to go out with a BANG ! In this instance, the BANG came in the form of lita’s viral infection malady and the ridiculously ‘interesting’ last paper. It was ‘undoubtedly’ entertaining though .. here’s how it vaguely went :

Suppose you are in a relationship where you are to assume that you are about to be married with ur gf. However, of late, her ex-bf resurfaced and threatens to thwart your relationship by intruding as a third party by lavishing ur gf with gifts..
Question: Using management concepts and theories, what would u do to discourage this attention that ur gf have been receiving ?

I was momentarily stunned to the extent of recovering only minutes later and re-reading the question, blaming my declining eyesight for the ‘mistake’ in the paper. I guess, the examiner (god bless his soul), by setting this question, is coercing us into apply management skills into a daily commonplace situation, yet.. I have only 3 letters to comment .. WTF ?!?!?

Enough about that, the end of the paper was definitely the breather we all needed from all the hardcore studying and pugnacious lecturers ! Thank God ! Speaking of which, I think its high time for me to pay a visit to my church and see if I can arm-wrestle god into clearing my finance this semester. Ooh, I just remb something, after our last paper, we headed for TOY’R’US which is the FAO Schwarz of the US. As usual, we were reminiscing our childhood when we chanced (no pun intended) upon the Lucky 8-Ball, which I strongly suspect, is filled with only good and positive predictions. Nonetheless, here’s mine ..

Me : Can pass and clear anot ?
8-Ball : It shall be as you wished…

Though we all knoe it was just a cheap thrill, it still made me feel a little more comforted n confident in clearing the dreaded last semester. *Groan again*

Now for updates on my poor girl.. After that bout of vomiting and visit to the hospital, she is finally discharged, thank god for that. It was really disheartening to see that girl in pain and discomfort. But the moment she started pointing out to us the ‘elmo-ish’ nurses, we knew she’s well on her way to recovery. As long as she can point out even the most nondescript happenings, we knoe she’s well enough. Ooh well, it was the first and hopefully the last time she’ll have to go through it . But after this whole episode there were 2 lessons that we learnt from it ..

(1) Never be a NURSE (Mel n Me are doomed to never choose this option as a career)

(2) Never let me go within 5 metres of a wheelchair or u’ll have to contain me due to over-enthusiasm !

harha, ooh well, at least as the saying goes .. “ alls well, ends well” .. Amen to that !

Love,
exhausted me xoxo

its..

my Last Paper in 2 hrs !!!!!!! Yeay ! Alittle lame but its finally gonna be over ! Woo hoo.. i'll be back with more on the last rite of examinations soon .... :)
