Once again I’m back at some weird hour. And I don’t even wake up that late lor. Today Jane came to pick me up and the 3 of us went to Siglap Cartel for dinner. By the time we were done, it was 9pm and we went to Paya Lebar to walk around for abit until the shops closed and Kel came to pick Chixy up. Jane and I ended up deciding to watch a movie and we went to The Cathay and we watched The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
I loved the show!! But then again, I’ve oways enjoyed fantasy movies. I’m so glad I caught 2 great movies one nite after the other.
We went down to look for Chixy at Sandilands after the movie and we went to the prata shop nearby to chill and we were all so restless until Chixy started doing some really stupid things to her face which got us in stitches. I got proof of it on camera but I shall not post it for her sake. Haha.
Chatting with K-Ling on MSN now. I think I see her online more when she’s in NYC than when she’s in SG lor. I think that says a lot about my sleeping habits… Hur Hur.

Being bored to tears, I went to pick Chixy up from her house to meet up with Jane & Tiger for a movie at Cine. 2 of the soonest shows were sold out so we got the 2315 tickets. Went to NYDC over at Heeren for my dinner and then walked around and slacked for awhile before going for our movie.
We watched Sex and the City. (I can hear Mandy going “WHAT?!?!?!??!” Lolx. Dun worry babe, I dun mind watching it a second time really). I enjoyed the show, Mandy will understand what I mean when she gets to watch it. Hot guys, beautiful clothes and gorgeous clothes. It’s a true girl’s show and the Vivienne Westwood wedding gown was so damn nice and I told Jane “All I got is a pair of Vivienne Westwood spectacles”.
I sall not give too much away but it’s a show I really want to watch with Mandy. I think it’s something we can really connect with. Haha.
Anyway after the show ended around 0140, the 3 of us girls were driving around aimlessly, thinking of where to go and we ended up driving to Marina South and that is when it all happened. There was a big ass tree branch on the left filter and I couldn’t bloody stop in time, firstly cos we saw it too late and secondly, I would have hit a curb if I swerved so the car went over the branch and we thought ‘Oh Fuck!’ but we thought everything was fine until we realized that the aircon was starting to become very hot and we stopped the car at the pier and that was when we had the shock of our lives - The car was leaking, something was smelling really bad, and the front car plate was gone.
Chixy called Kel and he came down with mad dog to save me. There was no way I could drive the car anymore cos it’ll just overheat. In the end, the 3 of us girls were bitten to death by insects and the car had to be towed to the garage. I am so sad lah. Now I can’t sleep and I can only wait til the garage calls me tomorrow.
I just wanna say sorry and thank you to my bitches for being there with me, and oso to Kel. Sometimes, men do come in handy. Hur hur. All I can say is it’s just one more story for the road. We’ve been through so much together, today’s accident is just one more page in our book of friendship. I wish I could sleep now but I know in another 2 to 3 hours or so, somebody is gonna come banging on my door, asking for a damn good explanation what I did to the car. KNNCCB

Monday nite, I went to pick my bitches up and we went to Kovan Xin Wang. Chixy should start staying home more so it’s easier for us to go out at nite/ in the day!! Because I didn’t have much sleep the nite before, I was super tired by the end of it all and I went back to concuss after sending them home.
Tubs called me around 7+am and I got up to get ready and I was thoroughly tired out. I barely had a few hours of sleep and I’m so not used to waking up so early lor. Anyway we went to Carl’s Jr for brekkie. I am starting to love the east more and more. Carl’s Jr at ECP is open 24 hours!
Went back to his place to pack his luggage for him, and then out to get some last minute necessities before grabbing a quick bite and met Alex before heading back once again to pack one last time. Went to is Granny’s house for while and then tub’s parents dropped us off at the airport.
Yup. My baby has gone to Europe for business. I hope he has fun and takes care of himself. I can’t help but worry when he goes traveling alone cos he’s a real scatter brain. I’m missing him loads but I know he’ll be back be before we know it. He wanted me to be a good girl when he’s away but since when am I bad? Haha.
Went to pick my bitches up last nite and we went to Chinatown for porridge. Yum yum! It was a super late dinner for me but I was absolutely stuffed after that. We couldn’t decide where to go after that so we headed back to Sandilands cos Chixy had to tapau porridge back for Kel anyways and we ended up slacking at Kel’s house, watching TV and smoking the nite away until I became so damn tired and decided to call it a nite.
Today is Wednesday aka Mambo Jambo. I miss Zouk heaps but I won’t be surprised if I get bored quickly when I’m there. The crowd is just different lah. Or maybe it’s just me getting old.
People, as me out k!! I am very free! Haha. I’m going to search for some lunch around the house now.

FRIDAY
Picked Jack and his wife up and the 4 of us drove in to Malaysia to eat! Yum Yum. The food is good but no matter what, I’m still not a fan of Malaysia. Tubs was so silly. He bought some chewing gum, and ended up forgetting to take it with him.
SATURDAY
Went to ECP Tung Lok for Dim Sum lunch (alright, it was meant to be breakfast). Dinner was Botak Jones at Bedok. Tubs and I had the burger and honestly, it sucks. Bleah. The other stuff like the fish & chips looks good though. Just our luck I guess.
Met with Jane, Tiger and Chixy at the coffeeshop near tub’s house. Why a coffeeshop I have no idea. Anyway after that, tubs and I went home and we watched Ant Bully. I wasn’t too keen on watching it at first but it was pretty nice I guess. It’s rare that we watch DVDs into the morning and still not feel sleepy.
SUNDAY
Woke up in the afternoon and then we went to Dunman for Tien Ji Zhou before going to the airport to send Kailing off. I couldn’t wait for everyone to arrive at the airport so I went ahead to meet Kailing first to say our goodbyes. I guess it’s a good thing cos I hate teary farewells (and I know it‘s gonna be damn teary when all the girls are there). Haha. I hope Kailing likes the card (ok it’s more like a booklet. Haha) I think it’s damn pretty lor and credits goes to Ting Ting! Anyway, I hope my dear girl will take good care of herself and remember that everyone misses her a lot and is oways thinking of her!!
Rushed down to granny’s for dinner after that, followed by some shopping at Parkway then it was hanging near Mel’s house for awhile. Tubs decided that since I haven’t had Macs brekkie all weekend, we would have it this time round so we went pawning til 430am and then it was breakfast time!
MONDAY
Woke up early (by our standards) and it was running around trying to get some things done. Picked Mel up for lunch and we went to Balestier Boon Tong Kee for lunch and then it was off to meet Alex (okok, I was more interested in playing with his dog). His dog takes a shit in the weirdest way. He lifts up one leg against the wall and just when you think he’s gonna pee, he starts shitting….
Anyway left around 6pm cos I had to pick the mother up from her tuition *sigh*
Any day with tubs oways includes lotsa food. But it’s ok, I have all the time in the world to go back to a more moderate diet soon.. Why? I know (and the people close to me) can oready. Hur hur.
*Just chatted with Kailing dear on MSN. It's 9+am at Manhatten now and she can't check in til 430pm. WTH. But I'm glad I got to chat with her. I miss her so much!! I hate it when the people I love go overseas *hint hint*

On Wednesday, met my bitches at Parkway in the afternoon and even though we only had time to meet for less than 2 hours, we managed to buy a pair of shoes each. I got myself a pair of patent purple heels. It was half price and it was so damn dirt cheat I just had to buy it! Went to Swensens after that for All Day American Breakfast and a Sundae. Yums!
Went to pick tubs from his place in the evening and then we went down to Fashion Bar to meet Mel there in my new shoes! My choice of poison was Sex On A Runway. I like! After we were done with drinks, we went to Balestier for Bak Kut Teh. I was so stuffed I couldn’t even finish it.
Woke up in the morning to go back office ard 11am to open doors for Davier and then it was lunch with Mel. There was such a sudden burst of heavy rainfall it was so scary and totally unpredictable. Went home and tried to nap but it was pretty unsuccessful until when I finally fell asleep, it was so late that I only got woken up by my hp ringing around 8+pm. The worse part was I was supposed to pick Ling up at 8am and the real bummer was that I was in the midst of a very hot dream with Tay Ping Hui. Why Tay Ping Hui I dunno cos I was never a very big fan of his but after today, lolx, I dunno. Let’s hope the dream continues tonite. Hahahaha.
Anyway, I rushed to get ready and picked Ling up and we went to Parkway to buy some drinks and snacks before heading to Yishun Dam and we had a great time there until one by one, we needed to pee so we went to Orchid Country Club to use the toilet there and bcos Mandy had to work the next day and Kailing’s BF seemed tired, we decided to call it a night. Ling and I went down to Bishan where my bitches were pawning and we stayed there til around 3am.
My dear Kailing is flying off on Sunday. I’m so sad. She’ll be gone for 4 long months. It may pass in the blink of an eye, but it’s still very long to me!!! Let’s hope she has internet there if not we ‘ll never hear from her for 4 months lah! Boo Hoo.

Mummy was such a cock up today. But what’s new about her eh? She asked me to take a walk with her and we went grocery shopping and when we were going home, we realized that she didn’t bring the house keys, which had the tap card attached to it. So we ended up having the security use the master key to tap the way in for us.
Picked Jes up and we went to Playground @ Big Splash. What sucked was out of all the food/ coffee outlets, only 1 place had smoking seats and the 7-11 there don’t sell ciggies. So we bought a drink from 7-11 and sat by the beach and did some catching up until Jane & Chixy called. Met them at ECP subway and we went to the beach to sit. Chit chatted and then a big group of Bangladeshis decided to invade ECP. They bought shit loads of stuff and even had a supermarket trolley with them. They made a whole lot of noise, threw things all over the ground, took up a whole lot of space, gambled, and peed in the open. Bloody bastards. We sat there telling ghost stories and making jokes until it was too much for us to take, then we decided to leave make shift little India for better air.
Speaking of ghost stories, tubs and I were at a block near his house last Saturday afternoon, snacking on Macs take-away. We had a paper bag of food and a drink. When we were done with our food, we had a smoke and when we decided to leave, I wanted to throw our garbage away but I couldn’t find the Macs paper bag. I thought it must have been blown onto the floor by the wind but I couldn’t find it so I just went ahead and walked over to the bin to dump the cup. And in the bin was our Macs paper bag. Go figure. It didn’t help that being held at the end of the block where we sat was a wake.
Anyway, back to tonight’s programme, we went for you tiao at Geylang. We did a speedy gonzales there cos clever me left my wallet on my car’s dashboard. Bravo. The you tiao today was kinda sub standard. Sad. And one of the ‘chickens’ looked like a corpse bride. I wonder how the guy with her found her even slightly attractive. But then again, they oways say ‘Cover the face, fuck the base’ so I guess that implies to her.
Went downstairs Jes’s block for a smoke before we all went home for a much needed rest (even though I'm still blogging. Better sieze the mood while it's still here).
Since it’s like 5am now I think, I doubt I’ll go to BOA later. Sleep in! At least until Jane gives us a morning call lah. Haha.
I love going gallivanting the whole nite. I hope my bitches had fun, and I hope Jes is feeling better after listening to an entire nite of our nonsense. I dunno how things will turn out, but I know it’ll be fine one way or another, sooner or later.

Let’s do a recap of my weekend now before I forget about it completely.
FRIDAY
Went with tubs to meet Uncle Roland for some beer at night before going to Dunman for tian ji zhou and then it was off to look for Mel and gang and we talked all the way til 4am. Dropped Mel off and then it was time for Macs brekkie! What a nice way to end the nite.
SATURDAY
Set alarm for 1030am but when we woke up, it was 1230pm. Rushed like mad, cabbed home, went to Parkway to collect the tickets for Broadway Beng 3, only to realise that bcos it was less than an hour before the show starts, we couldn’t collect it there and had to collect it at the venue. Bought some Old Chang Kee to eat in the car and the little we bought cost us close to $9. OCK is getting insanely expensive. Reached there, picked up our tickets and had some time for a drink and a ciggie and then Dan and Sharon joined us. I thought it was a little disappointing compared to the previous Broadway Beng, but it was not bad lah.
Went back to office to pick up some things. I’m gonna miss that place. Took a smoke with tubs at my patio.
Dinner at tub’s. It was food galore! Shiok!!
Met Alex at nite and then tubs decided to go pawning. Met Ting Ting there and pawned til around 4am. Macs brekkie again. Haha.
17th May is oso Ronny’s birthday. I do miss that boy so even though we still SMS/MSN and sometimes he still calls me to have a quick chat on the fone. It’s just different with him being in Indonesia. I know he’s gone back to Indo for quite some time oready but I’d rather much prefer it if he was still in Singapore *sigh*. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR!
SUNDAY
Slept til 5pm. That’s life. Tubs wanted to eat Katong Laksa very badly so that’s dinner for us. Somehow I had the sudden urge to watch The Little Mermaid or Beauty And The Beast but I didn’t have either shows so tubs asked Alex to bring out all the cartoon DVDs that he had. And along with those DVDs, he brought Max. His dog! It’s such a cute little thing lah!
When we got home, we opened a bottle of Chardonnay and watched Open Season. Cute. And then I heard tubs snoring away. ZzZzZZzZzZzzz…..
MONDAY
Vesak Day holiday! Woke up, went to Thai Pan for lunch then went to Parkway to get my glasses done. I dunno why I decided to make a pair of Vivienne Westwood’s cos I know I’m not gonna wear them much and they cost a bomb but I quite like them so what the heck.
Wanted to go test drive the Rav4 after that but they didn’t have it in the showroom, neither did they have a test drive model. Shucks…
Went home and watched Meet The Robinsons. I know, I’m so outdated but it was not too bad a cartoon.
Went for dinner with the folks and then went back to tub’s area to meet Wayne, Alex and Max. Haha.
I think that’s about all for my long weekend. Long but lazy. I’m sure I missed out on some details but I guess that’s roughly what I can remember lah. Haha.
Here’s a pic for fun.
Can you guess where/ what this is?
After seeing the foto, it kinda scares me how tightly packed our houses are getting. I miss my old house!!!

I’m gonna miss this view. Pardon the weird colour. I took it thru tinted glass. Haha.
I haven’t blogged in close to a week and being me, I can’t really remember what I have been doing in my free time this past week. Basically, work has been crazy but Trevor has been a big help, keeping me sane (sometimes tipping the scales and nearly making me go insane but in a good way. haha). I dunno what I’d do without him this past week and yesterday was his birthday. What a way to celebrate a birthday eh - stuck in a foreign land on a business trip. But he’s bonkers. Lots of laughs, lots of insults and lots of noise coming from the both of us. I think in the past week, this office has the most noise it ever got in it’s entire lifespan. Haha.
Anyway, I can’t not mention my very nice gathering with my darlings- dinner at Billy Bombers followed by drinks at Timbre. It was GREAT!! I love all of you!
Come to think of it, I must have had a lot of time on my hands in the past during work to blog the way I did. Now, I simply have no inspiration to blog.
(Let’s hope I have a little more inspiration to attend classes. Haha)
P.S Last nite while being out, somebody told a very scary ghost story. It was pretty damn bad.. I shall share it with whoever’s interested when I see them next.
Ciaoz for now~ Tata *smoochies*

Because I drove, I got home early and showered early and I could meet Jane early. Haha. Ok, I met her at 11+pm. Not that early but it was good enough. We hardly ever meet on Thursdays that I got a shock how crowded Xin Wang was. And even at Cartel, there were still people even though Cartel usually doesn’t open til late on weekdays. Anyway, I’m happy to know that Xin Wang has started to serve normal luncheon meat again. Yay! I have been missing luncheon meat for such a long time after there was something wrong with the China luncheon meat and they completely stopped selling/serving it in Singapore. Anyway, Chixy drove down from Sandilands to join us and once again, it was Ghosts and Guys. Today’s ghosts’ topic went a little out of hand. Everyone was more freaked out than usual. Not good. Haha. It didn’t help that all 3 of us drove down separately which means it was gonna be a lonely trip back on our own. Lucky for me that I stay just further down the street.
I love the cleaner aunty but she has been buying me one too many muffins. I couldn’t even bring myself to touch today’s muffins. Haha. Maybe I should give them to the guys.
Today on the MRT to work, there was a girl standing in front of me and she was wearing a very sheer (omost transparent) black top with a big hole at the back that goes all the way halfway down her back. I just thought that maybe she was wearing a bikini top inside cos where the hole ends, there’s a beilt thingy so I thought the bikini string may be there. I also thought maybe she didn’t wear a bra cos the front was covered with a more solid material so that only her back was exposed. I was wondering to myself the entire time until I realized the ah pek next to me kept leaning forward and looking over the girl’s shoulder. At first I thought he was being a kaypoh and trying to look at her smsing, but the way he was staring was so damn dubious that I decided to check things out for myself when it was closer to my stop. And what I saw I nearly fainted. From the front, you could see her breasts, nipples and all. It was so sheer she might as well walk around naked. I wonder what will her colleagues say when they see her. And FYI, she is ugly and her boobs aren’t that nice either. I just think it’s a damn cheap and bloody obscene thing to do. I feel sick to my stomach thinking of her. Even the girls in Geylang or the trannys at Changi are more covered up than her.

Did I mention that I was so into packing that at the end of it (as in the end of my packing session yesterday, not END of packing cos there’s still tons to pack. I’m like a fucking mover lah. Anyway I digress), I noticed that my thumb had bits of stuff on it. I have no idea how to explain it but it had a ‘towel’ effect. Hahahaha. I thought because I was using so much scotch tape, probably the glue part had rubbed off on my finger or something. I tried to rub it off but it wouldn’t come off, neither did washing help. But because it was so ‘textured’, I kept rubbing at it unconsciously and it was until much later at nite when I decided to take a closer look at it and lo and behold! I realized the ‘stuff’ was my skin. I know its damn TMD gross. I dunno what I did to make it this way, but I could see my flesh under it all lah. It wasn’t very bad therefore it didn’t hurt that much and it didn’t bleed. Queer stuff. You guys should have taken a look at it yesterday. Trust me, it wasn’t that gross. I just have no idea how it could become like that. It’s like multiple baby cuts all over the thumb, but not deep enough to bleed, yet enough to make the skin stand on ends. It’s still a little bit like that now so my finger just feels really rough and it looks a little red and raw on some parts. Ha!
Went for class yesterday after work and I was a tad late. Seeing how things are on the first day of class, I think it’s pretty impossible to skip any classes. Dammit. Today there’s another class. I’m so fucking tired.
After class yesterday, I tried taking a cab home but the queue was horrendous. Therefore I called a cab and by the time I got home, cab fare was $18. KNN. Because I hadn’t eaten the whole day other than the muffins and chin chow the cleaner aunty bought me in the morning, I was starving so I went to pick Jane up and we went to ECP.
In the car park, there was this guy who waved us down and apparently his car couldn’t start so I let him cable to my car but it still didn’t work. The poor boy looked so flustered lah. But I dunno how I can help either so me and Jane just went ahead to Subway to tapao a sandwich. When he came back, he was still there so we offered to drop him somewhere so he can get help or get a cab or something and when he suggested Lavender, we nearly fainted. I’m going to hang around East Coast Park and you ask me to drop you off at Lavender? You gotta be kidding me. And I really don’t understand his logic. He didn’t want to spend money taking cab or calling a tow truck, but he wanted to go Lavender to buy a new battery cos he ‘thinks’ there’s still a shop which is still open. Bravo. So Jane & I asked him what happens if the fault didn’t lie with the battery and he said ‘should be the battery cos I changed everything else in the car within the past 2 years’. Wah so rich to change everything but no money to call a tow truck or take a cab?! But anyways, too bad for him cos there’s nothing we can do to help him.
We went to Bedok side of ECP to have our sandwich and my back was killing me the entire time. By around 2am, I knew I needed to get home oready because fatigue just hit me suddenly. I told Jane I could feel my ride turning into a pumpkin oready. Haha. Cinderella’s curfew was at midnite, mine was at 2am. I was struggling not to fall asleep at the wheel even though it’s such a short distance to get home. This sucks man.
By the way, I’m not sure when my computer will be packed up. It’s supposed to be today so if you don’t see me blogging after today, you’ll know why. Haha. I’m going to be so damn bored at work without my com lah.
I can’t wait for my tai tai life coming up in the next week or 2. Me & my bitches will all not be working and we can do what we do best everyday – 吃东西,买东西 day in and day out. Can’t wait. I fear for my bank account though. Haha.

Yesterday after work, I met Mandy dear at City Hall and the first thing I got was chocolates! That silly girl went to buy me new chocolates cos the last batch of chocolates she wanted to give me the last time was left for too long oready.
It’s so pretty right!
Anyway, we had dinner at Shokudo. We were stuffed after that!
Which means we had no more room for dessert. After that we took a walk to Timbre @ the arts house to chill. It’s a very nice place and because it’s so near Raffles Place, it’s a good place to meet young execs going for a drink after work. Haha. There was a band playing but I didn’t find them very good. But that didn’t matter cos I was having a great time catching up with my babe. We should do this more often. It’s good to meet after a whole day of being stuck in the office and just relax and talk.
I am so fucking busy I'm taking forever to finish this short post. KNN. Haha

Yesterday I left work slightly earlier. Half an hour early to be exact. Doesn’t seem like much but it sure makes a whole load of difference to me considering the way I’ve been working my ass off. Went home but the mother wasn’t back with the car yet so once she got home, I went down to school to collect my books. Thank goodness I drove cos it was heavy as hell. But parking there is a killer and so is the ERP. But at the same time, I can’t imagine shuttling back home on the bus/MRT everytime class ends. I really would take a cab, but by the time class ends, there will be a horribly long queue for cabs and that sucks. It doesn’t help that my time-table is a real killer. It leaves me with absolutely no life. Other than it being in the evenings and on weekends, it doesn’t feel like a part time course at all. I think the hours are just as long as any full time course. I feel so cheated.
Anyway, after collecting my stuff from school, I went down to XDL to meet my girlies for dinner. Rachel bought us stuff from her honeymoon. Yay! I ate really little cos I was quite sick of the food but it was quite alright cos it was pretty empty yesterday. We had a good time catching up though. Rachel had a sore eye so Jes accompanied her in her car to act as her eyes and I followed them to Rachel’s place. After that, me & Jes went to find tubs for a smoke and then I sent Jes home before heading back. My hair is really much easier to dry after cutting it *sigh* That’s a good thing but I still don’t like how it looks though all those who have seen it likes it.
I think it was 4am when I went to sleep and I woke up late. It wasn’t enuff to make me late for work, but still I hate rushing. I like to be ready slightly earlier so that I can laze in bed for awhile before leaving the house.
I can’t help but complain about the weather. It is a real bitch!! It’s far too hot and far too humid. And I’m not the only one complaining. Urgh. Also, hot + humid = bad hair day.
It’s times like these when I really miss smoking indoors with the aircon on. Clubs are one thing, what I really miss is CAN Café!! Just sink into their sofas and relax in the dimly lit aircon café, enjoying a variety of drinks and snacks while playing cards/ board games and smoking. That is the way to enjoy life. But once the smoking ban took effect, the whole place closed down. Sad.
I do wonder if I get my own house next time, will I turn on the aircon and smoke. Haha. I hope not but sometimes temptation gets the better of me. But I seriously doubt I’ll do that. But everytime I go traveling, it just comes naturally to smoke in the hotel room. Shiok lah.
Can you tell that my mind is oready drifting away from work? Haha. I’m daydreaming lor. Hahaha.

It’s not helping that class starts this week. I still can’t think of what prompted me, in the spur of the moment, to take this damn course up. I’ve oways hated studying, and I could never wait to get out of school. And here I am embarking on another tremulous journey. Haha. Yes I know I make studying sound like a nightmare. It sure feels like one to me. I couldn’t even bring myself to attend orientation over the weekend *sigh* Before it can even start, I just want it to be over ASAP.
Anyway, here’s what I did over the weekend.
Friday, tubs came to pick me up from work. Went to the American School to get something and the security there is crazy. It looks like a country club but the security there is like one of an army camp. Met up with Jack and Crystal after that to finish our bottle of Chivas.
Saturday, I slept in while tubs went to work. Went out for lunch and to get some Awfully Chocolate ice cream then it was pretty much sleeping and lazing around the whole day. We finally managed to crawl out of bed only after watching Man on Fire on TV. Wanted to catch a movie at Cathay but there was a long queue for the carpark. I think both tubs and I haven’t been to town in too long a time cos we were pretty shocked how crowded it was. We ended up going to Cineleisure to get movie tickets for Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. The 2340 tickets were sold out so we bought tickets for the 0150 show and went in search for dinner. We couldn’t think of anywhere else that would be open til late and at the same time, comfortable for us to slack til it was time for our show so we ended up at Bugis. Yes, XDL steamboat. I was damn full after that but we didn’t order all that much. And that is a very good sign! After we were stuffed, tubs just had to cross over to Ah Chew and we had a Mango sago with Pomelo each. –pukes-
After that was back to Cine and I so hate the young kids there. Noisy like hell and they push. But of course, I’m champion when it comes to pushing back. Tubs and I felt so damn old there somehow. But I didn’t feel sad. I felt glad that I’ve got better upbringing than those damn kids. Thank goodness we got very good seats. If you ask me, I think it’s the best seats one can get.
Unfortunately, I thought the movie was pretty terrible. When the movie first came out, I wasn’t too receptive towards it oready cos I figured that it was going to be LAME LAME LAME. But some friends convinced me that it was truly funny so knowing tubs loves shows like that, I decided to go ahead and all I can say is I’ve proven myself right once again. I don’t think my sense of humour is all that peculiar. I just think I’m not that easily amused. At least it wasn’t so bad I felt like walking out (which I omost did for Dude Where’s My Car). But at the end of the day, I didn’t think it was a good show at all. But then again, I think ¾ of Singapore’s population are easier to humour than me so I guess this is really subjective.
By the time the show ended, it was time for Macs breakfast but we were still stuffed from dinner and tired so it was home to sleep.
Sunday, Daddy bought us lunch and tubs and I went to get our hair cut after that. After 2 months of not going to get our hair cut, Aden is not working at Jean Yip anymore. I am so sad. But because we were rushing, we ended up going somewhere else for a haircut and I hate my hair cut so damn much. Some people just don’t understand the difference between a cut and a trim. All I asked for was to trim my ends cos I don’t trust anybody else other than Aden. And true enuff, this woman chopped of so much of my hair and layered it so much, it’s a downright mess now. We went to meet tub’s parents after that to look at cars and they bought a new car. Went back to his place after that to slack awhile then we went to pick Mel up and headed to Parkway. I love Grandma’s fried chicken but I barely got to eat it cos it was gone so fast.
Slacked with Mel near her house after dinner and I was so damn tired after that lah. I blame the stupid weather. It’s been so hot and humid and I hate it so much.
The office cleaner bought me breakfast once again. Do I look so stressed out? She bought me Chin Chow and duck rice. I wonder where she buys all the food from cos it oways looks so yummy.
I am so not in the mood to blog today and I can’t make sense of the things I wanna say. But I just wanna type type type. Basically, I’m damn pek chek now. With what I dunno. Maybe I’m just PMSing.

Wednesday afternoon, went to my boss’s place to let him sign and update him on some office stuff and then I came back to the office. If I had stayed to finish up everything, it would have taken forever but I decided once the clock struck 15mins past 6pm that I should just drop everything and finish it up after the holiday.
Was planning where to go for dinner and we were pretty decided on Trader’s Hotel oready but we couldn’t make it in time so we had to cancel the booking. By the time tubs and Jack came down to pick me up, it was 8pm oready so we ended up at East Coast Park Seafood Centre. It was so damn shiok but I didn’t eat much cos while waiting for the guys to come, I was snacking on Kettle chips while watching TV at home. What a bummer. We ordered Bamboo clams, Chilli crab, Black pepper crab, deep fried soon hock and man tous. I seem to have left something out but I’m not sure what.. But the 3 of us really had a feast. Yum yum.
After dinner, went to meet Dan at Punggol Park. Either he seemed unnaturally hyper that day, or I was very tired. Haha.
Tried to wake up on Labour Day for some Macs/BK breakfast but by the time we left the house, it was 11am oready. Shucks. Decided to eat at BK anyways but ECP was madness. There was a jam and BK was full house. After much contemplating, we decided to head down to Joo Chiat to try the Korean food. We went to both Korean restaurants to look at the menu and it didn’t look happening at all. So we decided to eat at Aston’s since there wasn’t much of a queue. And then tubs spotted a new steamboat place next to Aston’s. And we decided to give it a try. It wasn’t pricy at all and the food was pretty decent. I think me and bitches have a new place in our area to eat steamboat oready. My only grouse was their ma la soup left a very strong after taste in your mouth. Other than that, everything was ok. There’s nothing to rave about, but it wasn’t bad either. The place is pretty small though. But the seats are all fixed so you don’t get people squeezing with you. it’s like a really small cha chan ting and instead of having a big steamboat in the middle, they have individual steamboats for each person so if you go with more people, everyone can have different soup bases. And what I like about this is you can control the temperate yourself since the steamboat is individual. This way, I can eat my food just nice. I hate it when everything is dumped in and we can’t eat it in time and it gets overcooked.
The whether was so hot and I was still feeling sleepy from waking up so early in the morning and also the full lunch didn’t help. So once I got back to tub’s house, I concussed. Haha. By the time I got up after lazing around, it was dinner time! I had a sudden and very weird craving for prata. Omg. I think we are quite mad cos while deciding what to have for dinner, we actually went Mellben to take a look. There were damn a lot of people, which may be a blessing in disguise cos if it wasn’t so crowded, we could very well end up having crabs 2 dinners in a row.
We finally ended up eating at a hawker centre at S’goon and there was a blind man singing there, keeping everyone entertained and then he sang the song which has been stuck in my head the entire day:
Joni was the girl who lived next door
I've known her, I guess, ten years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say
(JONI:)
(Jimmy, please say you'll wait for me)
(I'll grow up someday you'll see)
(Saving all my kisses just for you)
(Signed with love forever true)
Slowly I read her note once more
I went over to the house next door
Her teardrops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say
Joni, Joni please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen, I'm twenty-two
And Joni, I just can't wait for you
Soon I left our little home town
Got me a job and tried to settle down
But those words kept haunting my memory
The words that Joni wrote to me
(JONI:)
(Jimmy, please say you'll wait for me)
(I'll grow up someday you'll see)
(Saving all my kisses just for you)
(Signed with love forever true)
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
I had to see Joni, I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me
I ran all the way to the house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say
(JONI:)
(Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry)
(You'll forget me by and by)
(It's been five years since you've been gone)
(And Jimmy, I married your best friend John)
Hahaha. Somehow it oways happens. When a song is going on repeat in my head, someone will either sing the song or I’ll hear it on radio or something.
After dinner, we were so stuffed and we knew if we went home, we would just laze in bed so we went to Lower Pierce Reservoir to sit down and talk. Yesterday, that place really freaked me out. I dunno why, but it just felt super eerie. I guess it was far too dark for my liking and even though there were people walking past now and then, it was pretty unsettling.
On the way home that nite, I think the damn police set up a speed trap cos as I came round the corner and I saw them, I slowed down at the road block and the very cute policeman told me ‘Miss, you are going very fast you know’. And I thot ‘Fuck I’m screwed’ Cos I know before they came into view, I was driving pretty fast. When I heard the next thing he said, I wanted to give him a kiss man. He said ‘Next time don’t drive so fast k’. Phew! I think next time I should either avoid that road or go really slow cos it’s not the first time there’s a roadblock there. But I hope what he meant was to give me a warning and not send a letter to my house. Haha.
When I got home, which was close to 3am, the mother was still awake. There’s something so seriously wrong with her tooth that one side of her jaw is so swollen it looks like there’s an egg inside. It is damn bad but old people can be really stubborn. She wants to wait til this morning to see her dentist..
Couldn’t sleep last nite. I think I slept too much during the day. Or maybe cos of other reasons which I dun think I wanna talk about here. No big deal, but chancing upon it still makes my blood boil. Ok. Shall not elaborate anymore. But when it comes to things like that, I have a very low tolerance level for it.
On a lighter note, it’s Friday!!! I love holidays on Thursdays. It just seems to make the work week very much shorter and the weekend super long!
I have been buying these gummy sweets everytime I go pump petrol at SPC. I love!
Like its not nice enuff, it even has gummy bits and xylitol grains inside which makes it really nice to eat cos you get all the different textures and different bursts of flavour. And I’m so proud of myself I found these gems cos I first bought them only cos I liked the pictures on the packaging. Hahaha.

Anyway, I hope my Mandy dear is feeling ok. Things seem serious but I don’t think it’s as serious as it looks. All you need is time and everything will be alright once again. Guys are just really dumb sometimes. I dun wanna go into detail here cos it’s none of all you kaypohs’ business. I just wanna tell you that I love you! Can't wait for our dinner date. *muackz*
