Feeling so frustrated over all the Indo soaps. They are driving me crazy with all the twists and turns, the sly and cunning villains, the absolutely helpless good guys, etc. I would want to get the vcd or dvd just so i could insert the last disc and get it over with.

Firstly, i must apologize to all those who msn-ed me Mon night. I signed in msn and immediately took a shower. When i came out i went to my room, and after changing, fell asleep immediately. I totally forgot that i was in msn, and only remembered the next day, in the morning. The comp was already switched off -it being a shared comp and all- so i had no idea who might have left me a message on msn. So, i apologize.

Didn't go to work today. Spent the late morning and early afternoon sitting by the beach at Sentosa and eating chicken spaghetti from 7-11. Then it started to rain. For a second, i got reminded of Qiaohui. And idly wondering if she was there just now. LOL

Went home and stopped by Cold Storage to buy the Munchy Donut donuts. Got pissed off at several people who were queuing in front of me. Lazy to elaborate. Then went home to wait for the delivery people to come with my new dining set. They arrived all right. Only thing was, they got the chairs wrong, and the table legs don't fit!

Whatever la. Feeling sianz now.

More ~~randomness~~ nonsense.....

You can tell your friends a lot of things. You can tell your closest friends most things. For those things left, tell them to your shrink. Never tell too much to your parents. Spare them the horror.

I think the adventure gene skips a generation. My maternal grandfather ran away from his home in India and took a ship straight to Malacca, where he met my late grandmother and married her. Then he moved his whole family to Singapore. Right now, even in his twilight days, he commutes between Malacca (my step-grandma) and Singapore (his whole family). My paternal grandfather was a sailor and, according to him, has sailed to 3/4 of the worlds. 3/4!!! I can't even lay claim to exploring 3/4 of this tiny island. I wish i was so adventurous.

I borrow problems from the future. As if present problems are not worrying enough.

I don't think i like Indonesian soaps. I mean, i don't like it in the sense that it's too draggy, and the villains are too villain-y, and the good guys are too goody-two-shoes. There's no one like that in real life. We are always a mixture of good and bad. Unless of cuz you are like Mother Theresa (a saint) or Norman Bates (a psycho).

I want beautiful long straight hair that swings naturally.

I don't know what i want in a guy. I have too much trouble figuring what i want, and it might just come to a point where i might just give up on the whole guy population.

Job hunting suck.

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance....."

Random thought that i had recently....

Why some people are natural liars..i have no idea why they lie but they do, and unnecessary lies at that. Why, if all the lies are silly, would you still tell them? For example, you say you are going to KL, but turns out that you actually didn't. It doesn't make a freaking difference whether or not you actually did, but apparently it's just your nature to lie. Some people are just weird.

Having a number of guy friends will leave you with knowledge about the male species, and some of these knowledge are those that you can live without knowing. And hearing them talk about their gfs, and their preferences in a girl, makes you wonder if you can ever find a guy that will like you for who you are, the whole you, and not just what you have in your pants.

The parents of today's children are very demanding. They spoil their kids with mobile phones and extravagant pocket money, but they did not teach them how to earn those things. You expect your kids to learn respect and courtesy, but yet you do not live the examples in front of them. Contradicting, no? Just what is it that these parents want? The whole world catering to their whims and fancies? Excuse me, just because we are in the service line, go around schools selling books, and wear scruffy clothes to work does not mean that we are uneducated morons whom you have to talk down to. Especially parents of students in so-called good schools.

I'm more suited to an "own time, own target" kinda sport rather than a team sport which needs a lot of commitment. Bottom line, i'm lazy. And i would rather not let the whole world know about it. Although i'm pretty sure that whoever is reading this will have already known about that fact.

I wanna plan something!! Was thinking of doing a birthday party for Ain, but no idea on whether my parents want. Although i guess it'll not be as satisfying as planning for something big, but still. Must remember to run it by them. It's less than a week away.

Been asking around and finding out that some people think i'm fragile and delicate. Hahahahahahaha. I don't think so. I might look it, and i might even behave like that sometimes, but i don't think i'm the damsel-in-distress kind of girl. I mean, yeah, sometimes it's nice to let guys handle things, and let their ego inflate a little, but i'd like to think that when push comes to shove, i can be as stubborn as any Scorpio out there.

I might pick up cycling.

"If you get there before I do,
Don't give up on me...
I'll meet you when my chore are through,
I don't know how long I'll be...
But I'm not gonna let you down,
Darling wait and see...
And between now and then,
Til I see you again,
I'll be loving you...
Love,
Me..."
--Love, me, Collin Rayes

Seriously, i have no idea what the people at production are thinking. Ghost stories on tv on a Thursday night? And during hungry ghost month some more. It's usually scary enough on Thursday nights without adding to the fear factor. The new malay cable channel will have a lot to answer for should people write in to complain of nightmares. I don't even need to look at the tv screen to sense the fear. The sounds are scary enough.

Been so restless lately. Wanted to change my blogskin but can't seem to find a nice one. Or rather, one which catches my eye long enough.

Ok, back to ghost stories. Turns out that there's actually something weird going on at my office. The guys were telling me how they heard doors opening when they were talking among themselves, but when they stopped talking, the sounds stopped too. This is on the 6th floor. On the 2nd floor, if you are alone there, they say sometimes you can feel like someone looking at you, at the right corner of the floor. But the image is always at the corner of your eye, and when you turn, you won't be able to see anyone. That's it man. I'm not going to the 2nd floor alone!!!

The ghost story is on tv is so lame and scary at the same time. Scary cuz of the sound effects. Lame cuz the plot is just, well, lame. I mean, would you still stay another minute in the same house with a person whom you know is possessed? And then, when this person walked out of the house with the baby, in the rain, would you just feebly say, "Stop, ma'am, stop" while wringing your hands, but did not even TRY to venture out of the shelter of the house to grab the baby away? And would you actually waited til the said person is out of sight before going back into the house to call the husband down to tell him that his possessed wife has gone?

And don't even get me started on what the present scene is all about. I'd wish they would have better plots. It might be more enjoyable. Or, at the very least, better lines. It would make more sense. I mean, there's more to all these ghost stories than just sinister laughs and heart-stopping sound effects.

I'm wasting my entire post on this stupid show. And now i can't even remember what i originally wanted to write about. Sianz.

" Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, time agooo!"

Feeling my age this weekend. Joined this netball team with Rose, and had the first session of practice on Sat. We were the oldest people in the group. Even the coach is younger than us. Sheesh. Had some warm up, and was irresistibly reminded of Nonie when she told us to stretch our gluteus maximus. LOL

Only 2 hrs of practice, and both of us ended up with headaches. Met up with Raudah, but couldn't even eat after that. And my body started to ache even before the meal's over. On the way back, had to ask Raudah to massage my back cuz it was simply too much to bear. Went home and simply collapsed on the bed. Woke up an hr after that to wash off my make-up and ate a pill. Then off to bed again.

Couldn't wake up today. Body still aching. Contemplating eating another pill in order to survive tomorrow but not sure if it's the correct thing to do. Will see how.

You know, brown hair and blue/green eyes kinda go well together. Have this kind of looks that just "zaps" at you. And that Vanessa Hudgens, good looking girl as she is, can't really act as well. Or maybe it's the movie itself. Although High School Musical is a great show, i still think that Grease is better. The songs kinda flow into the whole movie seamlessly, much more than HSM. And i think that John Travolta was so much better looking when he has youth and physique with him. Haha.

I thought I knew the melody,
That I heard you singing...

5.30 am, and i'm still awake. And i think right now it's too late for me to get to sleep cuz i might not be able to wake up later. Feeling sleepy. And think a headache will be coming. Remind me to sleep during lunch hour. I can't believe i didn't sleep. Hmm..think i shall go lie down a while.

Cross my fingers and hope i won't be late for work.

"Wake up call,
Caught you in the morning with
Another one in my bed.
Don't you care about me anymore...
Don't you care about me...
I don't think so..."
