I love? I hate?

.
> I LOVE Mango... juice
I can drink 2 cups of mango ice blended during lunch. Then during dinner, i can still eat mangoes!
Where do you find yummilicious & cheap mango ice blended?? At Amoy Food Centre, Level 2. And it's only S$1.50. CHEAP!
Alternatively, i love soursop blended, guava with plum powder blended, strawberry blended and also a mix juice of pineapple, papaya & milk (this cost S$1.80).


> I HATE long queues...
REALLY!!!! Usually a long queue turns me off but now... i willingly queue more than 20mins for my mango juice, for my Bee Hoon Kway, and for DONUTS too....
Do you know that I actually queued for more than 1hour for Missy Donuts at Plaza Sing. I can't believe myself.
I dun like to eat ondeh ondeh... Yet tat time i queued more than half an hour for my colleague cuz i had nothing to do. I tried it but i still dun like ondeh ondeh. It's the famous ondeh ondeh at Maxwell Food Centre.


> I LOVE Amoy & Maxwell Food Centre
Think i need not say much ba... Except yummilicious!


> I LOVE Zouk!!!
Gimme Zouk over MOS or any other clubs anytime!!!
Me, no like St. James Power Station. Urgh!
Me, is going to Zouk, this Sat, for Paul van Dyke! *smug*
Me, love Zouk's drinks. Shiok! haha!


> I LOVE shopping. (Who doesn't?)
Getting hooked to online shopping too. *jialatz* You see my online shopping links at the right side?
For a pair of shoes, i bought last year but uo to date, with nothing to match its grey colour, i have not worn it. Recently, I bought a pair of pants and a skirt just to match it FINALLY. Actually, i could have just bought the pants and forget it. But being too deprieved of not wearing the shoes before, i went to buy another matching skirt. Ha!
Is this grey really so hard to match? The pic of my shoe.
Kel's wardrobe is TOO SMALL to contain my stuff!

> I LOVE HER!

My baby sister. A picture says a thousand words. =D

Lastly, is this dress nice? Do you think i should buy it?

thoughts cant focus

.
today my thoughts are weird. they seem jagged, shattered or in-pieces? they simply cant focus.

been feeling down for the past few weeks. indescribable... pain? yearning? confusion? heartache? i dunno.

need to keep myself busy, to focus on other matters till its all over. but the mind refuses to help. its getting lazy due to its inactivity.
i am getting lazy together with the mind, too lazy to do anything. to lazy to do wat i should be doing to achieve my goals.
or am i subconsciously trying to escape from reality? or am i finding excuses?

yet when the truth forces me to face up to it. dark fear overwhelms me. tears flow freely. the knowledge of it, the power of it, is overpowering.

and i allow it to overwhelm me, to control me, to render me helpless. to be pathetic.

i am getting out of hand.

"once again, she did it.
sorry. she's really sorry.
please forgive her for her mistake..."

.

stop asking so many questions la!

.
I SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND! Why do some people like to ask so many questions, especially when i am doing them a favour?

Why am i so fed-up?
Bcuz i asked some of my friends if they were interested in ordering nail polish or perfumes online, which was much cheaper. And some of them ask too many questions!

What type of questions?
1) how do you know of this website?
2) is this website reliable?
3) are the products sold real or fake? (when i ans them with REAL, some can still ask again 'sure anot?')
4) wat benefits do we have if we order from this website?
5) do you have any friends who have bought products from the website?
6) if yes, are they satisfied with the products? if not, why?

ARGH!!!!!!!!

Obviously, i would have checked if the websites i gave them were trustworthy sites that sold authentic products, before i asked my friends, right? By checking, it means that i have other friends who have bought products from the websites and they are very satisfied with it.
Who, in their right minds, wants to be blame for introducing their friends with fake or unsatisfied stuff, right?

Furthermore, why do i even bother asking my friends if they were interested in ordering the products anot?
Bcuz the prices were much cheaper and if we mass order, there could even be a bigger discount, for everyone to enjoy!

So caoz! I AM DOING YOU A FAVOUR LO!!!!

Walau eh! Not as if i got commission if you order lo! If i do earn commission, then kindly distance yourself from me and do not even consider me as your friend, ok?

Thus, if you are interested in ordering, just give me the orders. Kindly DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT ask so many questions. It makes people very pek-chek one, you know!

If you ask so many questions, i will only feel the following :
1) you don't trust me
2) you are a cheapo cuz you want it super cheap and also super good. (u r e type of person who 'ai-pi-gu-ai-chi'. in hokkien, pls)
3) you are simply to lazy to find out yourself and just want people to do all the work for you (u r kns.)

My suggestion for the above: DON'T BUY! harlow! No one is forcing you!

If you wanna buy, please be more 爽快(shuang kuai).
If you dun wanna buy, you can still be 爽快(shuang kuai).
Like some of my other friends. Muacks to them!

If i know it was to be so 麻烦(ma fan), i won't even ask lo. Seriously, when can i ever learn to stop being helpful?!

After all, I DO have the option of not asking if anyone is interested. And i can just selfishly and happily place my own orders without any unnecessary trouble.

End of rant.

SYNOPSIS

Academy Award®-winning director Brad Bird ("The Incredibles") and the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios ("Cars," "Finding Nemo") take you into an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination of a rat and a 5-star gourmet restaurant come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.

In the hilarious new animated-adventure, "Ratatouille," a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Directed by Academy Award®-winner Brad Bird.

so many things, too little time

An entry about the things & happenings around me, which i want to write about. Dunno why i dun have time to do so though... So this will be a rather messy entry with no proper train of thought.

Ok, to start on the shorter topics 1st, so if i lose focus, i can continue the entry with a Part 2! Haha!


My Bali holiday trip with Kelvin

The long-overdue photos are already uploaded into my imagestation, just that i have not started on the captions. And captions are important cuz they can tell a story without me writing an entry.

Once done, i will post the link.


Company's Dept Retreat to Phuket

I was so looking forward to it but now due to unforeseen circumstances, i am not going anymore.

The very 1st time, our managers open the Retreat to involve support staff. I was so happy! Counting down to the days the trip would arrived. Although the trip was initially postponed for a month later, none of my colleagues or my mood were dampened. But now, all the anticipation for nought. I can only stay in Singapore as others enjoy.

It was supposed to be my 1st time going to Phuket! To stay at JW Marriot (5-star hotel!) with a room for myself and I could also ask my friend along, for all that was required from my friend was to pay for her own air-ticket cuz we would be sharing the room together.
Neither do i have the chance to experience whitewater rafting for the 1st time too.
Furthermore, EVERYTHING, except shopping, were to be on the Company's expenses.

And it was also supposed to be my 1st time in participating in a Company Retreat.
In the past, i did NOT even bother about Company's events (Annual D&D / Family Day / etc) nor colleagues' gatherings (dinner after work / bowling or meeting up at East Coast Park during the weekends). I never went to any of it at all. The most i ever did was going to Big Boss' house during CNY, in my 1st job. Only once & never again.

During then, I chose not to mingle with them cuz i felt that they were only colleagues to me, nothing more. But ever since working in my current Co, i no longer want to feel or be detached from my colleagues.

Oh! Last year Nov, i was thinking of a destination to go for a short holiday in Dec. Phuket or Krabi? Krabi or Phuket? In the end, i decided to opt for Krabi & forgo Phuket. So when i heard that the Retreat was to be held in Phuket this year, i was overjoyed! Too happy, too soon.... i suppose...

Now i am still missing this trip. T.T


Jaye's Phi Phi Islands, Krabi Trip

Jaye, my colleague, shared her holiday photos with us. And the beach there is absolutely gorgeous!

My resolve to go Krabi next year has strengthened!
Earlier i mentioned about deciding between Phuket & Krabi, and finally choosing Krabi as my holiday destination. Then i realised that Dec was in the midst of Krabi's monsoon season (which ends in Jan). So i thought of going to Krabi in Feb this year instead. Well, i shelved the plan again, this time to Feb next year, cuz during then (Feb 07), i was still having night classes and i did not want to miss any classes. It was my final year le, too much at stake.

Before i digress further, let me show you the pics now! Maybe after seeing the gorgeous beach, you will be tempted too. Then we can plan a group trip! Haha!





A sea-shell..


Don't be deceived!






Very clear, right?




Screensaver, anyone?












So clear! So aquatic blue! So many fishes!


Someone amidst of fishes! COOL!




Now do you understand why am i so determined to go Krabi? =D


SW's Marriage Proposal

The following true life story is based upon my male colleague, SW.

It will most definitely, i think, 'spoil the market' and 'up the scales' on how much or how far a guy should propose marriage in the future. So are you sure you wanna read on??? *sniggers*

It will thoroughly eliminate the following types of proposal. Horrendous or cheesy or lazy or blah? You decide.
- 'Let's go see houses.'
- 'Let's apply for a HDB.'
- 'Let's set a date with ROM.'
- 'Do you think it's time for us to settle down?'
- Bring the gal into a jewellery shop & asking her to choose a ring. Worse still, immediately choose wedding bands.
- Asking 'Auntie, is it ok with you if i marry your daughter?' infront of your girlfriend. *smacks forehead*
- Replying 'No need propose one la. Will get married then will get married. She dun want to get married without a proposal, then dun marry lo. haha!', when friends ask him when he intends to propose to her, infront of her. *JERK-ARSEHOLE*

And perhaps the following marriage proposals will be the NORM.
- Public marriage proposal.
- On-bended knee proposal.
- Planned surprise proposal.
- Televised marriage proposal.
In whichever combination, you like. eg. Most recently, televised an on-bended knees marriage proposal in public on National Day. Planned, indeed. But planned to be televised? *shrugs* I don't know.

Now it is..........................

Going overseas for a holiday and taking the chance for a surprise marriage proposal while in a hot air balloon (at least 150metres above ground level) with the clear blue skies as backdrop, and a HUGE banner with the words 'Will you marry me?' laid down upon the lush greenery below...

Gosh! Lotsa planning involved & required far in advance. To liaise with the hot air balloon owner and prepare the banner.

That is how SW proposed to his girlfriend!

The prefect romantic unique special marriage proposal... *sniffles & tears* so romantic and sweet... aaww...

Before it slips my mind: Apparently, it was also the hot air balloon owner's 1st time. His 1st time in arranging something like this, furthermore, it was a marriage proposal. =D

ps: Currently, if you are thinking of the DHL hot air balloon @ Bugis. STOP! Please kindly kick yourself in the balls HARD! No imagination, no creativity! Surrounded by tall but awful grey and dull buildings! Where on earth are you going to place the banner?
On the roads? You mean that the yellow and grey roads as the background of the banner is nicer than lush greenery?! That stopping traffic is a BIG deal? Well, maybe... And perhaps you could get it televised then the media can also help you with the co-ordination. If possible, get the costs sponsored too. -.-
Oh! You intend to let the banner be displayed on the walls of a tall building facing the hot air balloon. With special smoky and lighting effect like the Suntec fountain and also not forgetting the music and wordings too. -.- -.-

I am beginning to digress again. So i think i am tired already.


That is absolutely all for today!

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it allEven more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

On the side of me

Corrinne May
Beautiful Seed


On the side of me


I'm not the easiest person to love
I'm often the one who lets things go unresolved

Yet you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
Yet you choose to be on the side of me
on the side of me

I'm not too proud of some things
I've done in my life
The skeletons in my closet
Are too big for me to hide

Yet you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
Blessed Charity
You're on the side of me
on the side of me

Everyone needs a friend to hold
when it's cold outside
and there's no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
all alone I cried
there was no place to go
I remember when nobody cared
but you

I'm not the easiest person to love
But you, you've opened your heart to show me what I'm worth

'Cause you choose to be on the side of me
on the side of me
What a mystery
You're on the side of me
on the side of me

Everyone needs a friend to hold
when it's cold outside
and there's no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
all alone I cried
there was no place to go

I remember when nobody cared
I remember when nobody cared
Nobody cared
But you

Yeah you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me

I want to buy...

Reflection of my anger

SELFISH!

.
.
WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I BE SELFISH?!

WHENEVER I WAS GIVING IN NATURE, WHAT DID I GET?

NOTHING!
ONLY UNAPPRECIATION, BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED AND THUS LEADING TO MY OWN UNHAPPINESS!

SO WHY CAN'T I BE SELFISH NOW?
SO WHAT IF I NO LONGER MAKE YOU HAPPY, WHICH WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF MY HAPPINESS?
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT AS LONG AS YOU WERE HAPPY, I WOULD BE HAPPY TOO. THAT SEEING YOU HAPPY COULD ABOLISH ALL THE DISCOMFORT I HAD TO GO THROUGH.

BUT NOW, IT'S NO BIG DEAL!
CUZ I FINALLY FACED IT, THAT EVERYONE IS SELFISH!
CUZ AFTER SO MUCH, NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW I ACTUALLY FEEL.

WHAT IS THE OUTCOME? MISUNDERSTANDINGS!
AND IT'S ALWAYS MY FAULT!

SO FUCK BEING ACCOMMODATING!
MISS NICE DIED FROM DISAPPOINTMENTS AND HEARTACHES!

DO NOT FUCKING JUDGE ME, WHEN I NEVER DID SO.

WHATEVER YOU DID, EVEN THOUGH SOME THINGS WERE MORALLY WRONG, BUT I NEVER ONCE THOUGHT BADLY OF YOU.

WHY?
CUZ YOU WERE SPECIAL TO ME.

BUT A SMALL MISTAKE I MAKE, I BECOME A TOPIC TO GOSSIP ABOUT?
SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING ME?
THANKS HOR.

SO BE IT. IT DOES NOT PAY TO BE GOOD.

IT'S MY TURN TO BE SELFISH, TO BE HAPPY.
