I don’t like resorts. I don’t like the sea. I don’t like massages. I don’t like getting wet. But I had such a grand time in Batam over the weekend, I think I could be persuaded to change my mind. It was a last-minute thing. We only decided on the trip two weeks before and managed [...]

Everything’s Just Wonderful
Lily Allen

Do you think, everything, everyone, is going mental,
It seems to me that it’s spiraling outta control and it’s inevitable,
Now don’t you think,
This time is yours, this time is mine,
It’s temperamental,
It seems to me, we’re on all fours,
Crawling on our knees,
Someone help us please

Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat I know I can’t afford it,
It’s just the bureaucrats who won’t give me a mortgage,
Well it’s very funny cos I got your fucking money,
And I’m never gonna get it just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn’t grumble,
I suppose that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

[Chorus]
Oh yes, I’m fine,
Everything’s just wonderful,
I’m having the time of my life.

Don’t you want something else,
Something new, than what we’ve got here,
And don’t you feel it’s all the same,
Some sick game and it’s not insincere,
I wish I could change the ways of the world,
Make it a nice place
Until that day, I guess we stay,
Doing what we do
Screwing who we screw

Why can’t I sleep at night,
Don’t say it’s gonna be alright,
I wanna be able to eat spaghetti bolognaise,
and not feel bad about it for days and days and days.
In the magazines they talk about weight loss,
If I buy those jeans I can look like Kate Moss,
Oh no it’s not the life I chose,
But I guess that’s the way that things go,

[Chorus x2]

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [etc.]

Oh Jesus Christ almighty,
Do I feel alright? No not slightly,
I wanna get a flat I know I can’t afford it,
It’s just the bureaucrats who won’t give me a mortgage,
Well it’s very funny cos I got your fucking money,
And I’m never gonna get it just because of my bad credit
Oh well I guess I mustn’t grumble,
I suppose that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

[Chorus x2]

Yep, I know it's minutes to the end of the last episode.

I was surprisingly hooked to the series, and went to the extent of subscribing MobTV just to download its episodes when I found out they upload several episodes in advance! I watched finished the whole series last week ^_^;;;;

Despite the cursory trite references to Peranakan culture, and the sub-par cheesy performance by some of the newer actors, PLUS horrendous special effects and CG, it was still a gripping series...kinda like Da Chang Jing.

I have to give credits to 2 actress in the serial.
No...not Jeanette Aw......but Joanne Peh and HuangHui (as Ah Tao...).
Joanne's depiction of the tragic demise of Yuzhu was bone-chilling and scary, and Huanghui....previously she acts evil characters before, but this time she was really damn solid as the matriach Majie (maid) of the family.

KUDOS TO THEM!

According to my friend, the answer to the question of “Is sex overrated?” is “Depends on who’s doing it.” His answer confused me until he explained further. It’s overrated if your partner is bad in bed, underrated if your partner is good. That’s one way of looking at the question I never considered. I don’t know if it’s [...]

I didn’t have milk the other day (so I couldn’t make my signature ashke scrambled eggs) so I opted for omelets instead. That worked out pretty well so I made it for brunch today. We had omelets, cheese bread and hashbrowns, almost worthy of a McD breakfast meal. There were two omelets, the first was a white button mushroom omelet (which I had sauteed to perfection already) and ham & sausage omelet.

We had an early dinner too and I cooked spaghetti. I bought some chicken fillet yesterday so it was a chicken + sausage + brown mushroom sauce. The chicken came out very nicely so I was pretty happy with the results. I added Parmesan instead of sliced cheese this time and I found that worked out okay too (less distinct cheesiness). I was tempted to add milk but hahah, stopped just in time.

I found that we didn’t have a can opener at home or else we would have had campbell soup and breadsticks. Sad. I will be getting one later in the evening (for supper or next day’s breakfast?)

My bro mentioned that he liked fish & chips. Maybe I’ll try that next time. And big thank you to da bro for cleaning up afterwards! Hahah, just like the arrangement with huey in the US. LOL.

I feel like I haven’t been sleeping forever since my friends all went crazy and decided that sleep is passe. I am now at a beach resort in Batam, laptop on my lap (duh), watching my friends frolick in a sea-water jaccuzi pool, watching a waiter chop up a coconut. Around me, waves crash petulantly on a [...]

I made quite a number of incriminating videos recently, effectively destroying all my friends’ reputations. I think it’s pretty neat of them not to have already sent me lawyer letters. That’s why I love them, ay? So I thought I’d make GGF today a video issue. I have a great selection of vids here. Take your [...]

So I started the new year by sending Chris off at the airport. After he left, KY and Andrew went to eat Burger King. I didn’t have much to do so I took the MRT on a lark and went down to Bugis (I had the concession anyway).

There was a crowd that morning as many people went to visit the temple. The Bugis market was as bustling as ever even though it was only 10am. There was crowd gathered outside the OG to wait for the opening. Apparently, there is a 20% discount off storewide. ^^ I went in to have a look but they didn’t have anything I really wanted to get.

I wrote this halfway and got sidetracked looking at airplane prices. Funny how non-European airlines are the ones who are less expensive. Heh…

A Happy new year to all!

Went clubbing last night at Arena. It was an average bar playing hiphop/r&b, but the place was smaller and narrower than I thought! The dance floor was so much smaller compared to Powerhouse. Overall it was OK, but the music was too damn loud! >_<

I wore my funky equalizer shirt which I had bought 3months ago, planned to wear on my D&D and NewYear Eve :D No videos of myself last night but here's a feel what I'm talking about

And yes, I grabbed a few"s attention, so yeah (^_^)V

When I went back by cab with letifer, the trip to Normanton was uneventful.
But, by golly, the trip to MY place was wtf!

First of all, he overshot the exit to Clementi Ave 6 (rightfully to head to B.Batok area). Initially I thought he really missed it and go to Jurong Town Hall exit. That's fine with me. Then he starts passing exits until he is going to Taman Jurong. Something's amiss, and I voiced it out. He told me he was "looking for Clementi Ave 6 exit, passed already ah?"

-___-

OK, he apologized and assured me he will deduct the fare appropriately.
Then we U-turned to B.Batok and at around IMM area, 2 traffic police bikes were tailing us for quite a while staring at us. Then high-lights & sirens came on, and the police aggresively told the taxi driver to stop!

DD:

Is it because I did not put on my seat belt at the back??? I dun wanna go to jail!!!! T_T

The police scolded the taxi and asked him to get out of the taxi now and demanded his licence.
The police apologized to me and ask the driver to stop the meter before coming out, but the taxi driver did NOT do anything. I think apparently the taxi driver driving was not stable "swerving left n right at high speeds".
Anyway, all this while I sat blankly IN the taxi.....WHILE the meter was still RUNNING (at $33 with midnight charge). You know, I could have just got off and ran away (should I?), but I was feeling spaced out.

After the police let him go, the driver came back in and apologized. Then he took the wrong turn to go towards Clementi, instead of B.Batok...

-_____-

So after U-turn, I had enough and told him to stop somewhere near my place so that I can walk back.

Total Taxi Fare: $26 (he waived off all midnight charges)

PS: Now to start the Year 2009 apparently on "virtual joblessness" for 1 month

No. I really, really hate new years. I vividly remember writing about hating the new year, exactly one year ago. I can still remember what I wrote because I am feeling exactly the same thing right now. Digging into my archive confirms that memory serves me right. I can remember everything I wrote one year ago as if [...]

Sometimes, I feel like I can’t breathe. It’s terrible how the holiday season makes it so. Why do I feel so sian and sian and sian.

How do I get out of this shell? (Probably not by staying at home and writing my blog.) Gaaaah…

Today, I felt like it was quite pointless to wear heels to work. I realize being in them too long cramps my feet. >_< Ugh. But I think a few guys were checking me out, wahahahhah because I caught them doing it. I wonder if any cute guys get the kind of thing women get all the time… It’s sort of annoying to get stared at but somehow validates your attempts to dress up. Hmm…

I also saw Valentine today at Muji. His face has cleared up a whole lot more and it was nice seeing him again. He mentioned that there was some restaurant/bar in Mandarin that gave you little steak sandwiches if you ordered their martini. Sounds interesting.

Chris will be running off to the US soon and Huey will be coming back. So I say, have a good trip and welcome back! Soon!

I almost didn’t go for the Nuffnang Christmas party because I didn’t have time to get a costume. The party was co-sponsored by vPOST and we had to go as characters or things beginning with the letters V, P, O, S or T. Me and my friends were assigned the letter T. Just a few hours before [...]

Destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress destress.

Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry. Don’t be angry.

Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax. Relax.

Don’t you dare feel that existential angst again.

I forgot to mention that I hadn’t fixed my phone after all. I’m not contactable by handphone so just email me or something. I probably won’t fix it for some time.
