I apologise for the absence. I have been meaning to blog, but either I couldn’t find the time to, or I wasn’t in the state to. But now I am back and I shall not let my blog die. Being me, my memory can be pretty limited but let’s start with something very close to my heart - FOOD!
Last last Sunday was BBQ at granny’s instead of the usual dinner. Food was fab and it’s been a long time since we had a nice BBQ session together! Might as well cos it was the long weekend with Hari Raya Puasa holiday the following day.
Last Wednesday, I went to get my wisdom tooth extracted. This dentist is in a class of his own. He is very unprofessional in my opinion, half the time being unsure about what he was doing, and the other half not telling you what he's doing. But he is quite a nice guy and I just couldn‘t seem to bring myself to be angry with him, so I can’t figure out what I feel towards him. Haha. On the day itself, he decided at the last minute to extract 2 teeth instead of 1 and being me, I just gave him the green light. Because I have never had a wisdom tooth surgery before, I didn’t quite know what to expect. All I know is that he must have ODed me on anesthesia and steroids cos it left me woozy, tired and pretty much disorientated for the next few days. I’m pretty sure that wasn’t meant to happen. I know it got some people very worried especially when it continued right into the weekend. Haha. But I’m fine now so all’s good. I was on a high I swear, psychomotor retardation in full swing. Three quarters of the time, I couldn’t remember what I wanted to say, I had problems controlling my actions, I couldn’t feel things much, I was shaking like I had Parkinson’s disease, I was so easily tired out, I was giddy etc. So whoever I may have inconvenienced or pissed off or caused worry to, I’m so sorry! I really could not help it.
But anyway, when the anesthesia started to wear off following the surgery, the pain was quite a bitch. It actually woke me up from my nap and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it cos the time was way too soon for the next dose of painkiller. But by night, I was up and running and no, I didn’t drive. Thank goodness cos I wouldn’t know what would have happened if I did, being high on all the medication. Haha. And this brings us to another story, which is another reason why I didn’t drive.
One day, the battery sign in Little Red Riding Hood lighted up. Being a complete car idiot, the mother drove to the workshop at SPC and got them to check what’s wrong after using the car to run her errands. Apparently the alternator was faulty and needed to be changed. The mother came home, woke me up from my slumber, just to spend the next half an hour or so to tell me her story about the car and what the people at SPC said etc. Her main aim was for me to get the car fixed. I called C&C and they said they’ll call me back so I went back to bed. I woke up once again to incessant knocking on my door, only to be asked ‘you still don’t want to bring the car to get fixed?’. OMFG. If only everything was so easy. I had to waste time once again to explain everything to her, that I was waiting for them to return my call, that to get something fixed, an appointment must be made, and even if I made an appointment, they wouldn’t be able to fit me in so last minute etc etc etc. And being her dumb self, she filtered everything I said out cos she said to just bring the car down without an appointment, leave them with no choice and they will have to fix it on the spot. That woman has serious issues. She thinks she owns Cycle & Carriage. I wish she did as well but too bad that’s not how my sad life works. Anyway, to cut short the entire extremely frustrating conversation so that everyone reading this does not have to go through the exact pain I had to go through, she ended off asking me to drop her at Parkway and then take the car to C&C. Come to think of it, I am surprised I didn’t stab her to death at that point of time. And that’s after I told her C&C WILL NOT fix the car on that day itself and that the car is NOT ABLE to move around much with an almost flat battery. Of cos my answer was NO so in the end, she drove the car to Parkway herself and good for her cos the car didn’t die on her and she even managed to return home with it. And she said if the car dies at Parkway, she’ll 'just leave it there and take cab home lor’. WTF. I dunno whether she’s more stupid or she’s more selfish, just thinking for her own convenience. And after she got home, she could still try to ask me to bring the car to C&C the next day, which in the earlier conversation, I had oready told her it was impossible cos I had a tooth surgery first thing in the morning and also that if she drove the car, I will not touch it anymore cos the last thing I wanted was the car to die on me on the way to Ubi. The next morning, as I was leaving to go to the dentist, I saw a tow truck come tow the car away. Why am I not surprised…
Let me sidetrack for abit first. Since I’m on the topic about being pissed with people, there was one day a security guard at my place totally pissed me off. And I fucking gave him a piece of my mind. And after that incident, I was still damn pissed, so I dropped the management office a little note. I hope he gets his ass fired. I hate people who do not know their place, acting big when they are nothing.
Ok, now let’s go back on track.
Thursday, Little Red Riding Hood was still at the workshop I figured but I was still woozy so I wouldn’t have driven her anyways. I met Mel at Bugis cos she had won tickets for the F1 Rocks concert at Fort Canning for Mando Night and she decided to bring me! I love her to bits lah! Out of all the people she could have invited, she brought the worst person she could bring to a concert. Haha. Post-surgery, swollen-faced, mute, giddy me. I enjoyed myself thoroughly even though halfway during Jacky Cheung, I had to abandon her and go sit at a corner cos I nearly passed out from my head spinning so bad. But other than me being a spoiler, I’m so glad I went. A-Mei and Jacky Cheung were fab, just as expected. And thank god I was in the right mind and got most of it recorded down on video. Hur hur. I'm lazy to upload the videos here but here's a song he performed which I love!
Friday evening, finally met up with Chen. She’s so hard to meet up with nowadays lor. Haha. School’s a bitch eh, just like you. Hur hur. She came pick me and we went to our new Siglap hangout and it was great hanging out with her again but I was feeling like crap within afew hours and I really had to go home. I’m so sorry Janey! I’ll make it up to you I promise!
Saturday night, tubs and I went Holland V for Cold Rock and it was so bad. I wouldn’t pay for Cold Rock ever again. I’d rather eat Macs ice cream. Urgh.
Sunday night was Jack’s wedding and I swear tubs spent forever getting lost in the area. From us being early to us reaching late, I wished he could just try a little harder when looking at the street directory rather than guzzling up Little Red Riding Hood’s petrol. It was a small wedding, nothing fancy but the food was good. Yums!
After the dinner, we went to Mel’s house supposedly to watch a movie but we ended up planning something for somebody. Haha. When our plans come into action, that person better appreciate all the effort lor! Mel & I had spent most part of our Sunday afternoon coming up with ideas at Tong Shui while tubs and Alex were having their RT. Even though it was built around by many evil and highly hilarious ideas, it’s still a lot of work ok. I can’t wait to see what happens and I can’t wait for Judy to make a grand entrance. Haha!
Had dinner and chilling session with my bitches just now. It seems like forever since I last saw da chix even though she’s working so nearby lah. Haha. Here’s our meal at our gem of a cafe. I love it there even though I wish they would close later.
There are so many things I gotta do this week, from getting my stitches removed to buying mooncakes to finally deciding on which camera to buy. I’m just crossing my fingers the Peony Jade Oor Nee moonies are still available. I also can’t wait to meet up with my lovelies for Sunday’s picnic!

Sent my little red riding hood for servicing last Friday morning. Thank goodness servicing was due anyways cos the aircon was spoilt. This dumb car has so many problems. Argh! And because of the car, not only did the mother piss me off, the people over at Cycle & Carriage pissed me off as well.
First the mother really goes out of the way to inconvenience me. That’s even at her own expense of making herself look stupid. I don’t even wanna talk about her anymore. Urgh. Sickening woman.
Secondly, I didn’t make a booking in advance for first thing in the morning for no reason. So don’t call me mid-afternoon and tell me I gotta change my aircon filter and my wiper blade. Don’t fucking waste my time on redundant things when both my aircon filter and wiper are in perfect working condition. When I say I just got my wiper changed during the last servicing, don’t pretend like you don’t believe me and ask me to hold on so that you can check your system. Either ways, I don’t want it changed and that’s that. After finding out that I did in fact change my wiper, don’t come back to the phone and try to push something else, asking if I smoke in the car, did I this, did I that, causing my filter to need a change. That’s slander. And no, I don’t smoke in the car. And when I say no to all that, then I was told ‘ok I’ll get them to try and clean your filter’. WTF?! What did you spend the whole day doing? Why do you push me to change my filter before you try to clean it? The only problem with the car is that the aircon motor had blown. And since it’s still under warranty, just get it changed. don’t have to dig for other things to make money from. And after one whole afternoon, to call me and tell me my car can’t be collected on the same day is insane. Don’t tell me the motor is hard to get. You have it in another outlet and Singapore is only that small. Where’s the efficiency? Don’t tell me I can collect my car anytime the next day. If I go collect it first thing in the morning, doesn’t it show it has been fixed the day before oready? And when I asked the guy is the motor supposed to blow so soon and easily, he actually said yes, that’s why it’s covered by warranty. Absolutely exasperating.
Just one damn car, in the end I had to deal with 2 retards.
The Time Traveler’s Wife which I watched last Friday night (or rather Saturday morning) made me cry like a baby. Storyline was just as expected but because it was expected, the journey to the impending doom was so painful. I haven’t cried like this at a movie for a very long time oready. It’s so depressing but at least her husband time travels and they oready have a kid who is oso able to time travel so I guess it’s not considered a total loss for her.
I finally got down to buying my Zara heels on Sunday. I love! I first saw them at the Great World City outlet but they didn’t have it in my size. So on Sunday, I called Liat branch to check for stock. And they were so cock up and inefficient. I gave them the article number, I gave them my name and contact number and they said they would check for me availability for all the outlets and they never got back to me. Even after 2 calls to remind them, they never got it done. I ended up calling the Great World City branch and it was much better. The girl called me back and told me it was available at Liat. I nearly flipped. People from their own outlet didn’t even know if they had stock or not, and yet someone else from any outlet bothered to find out for me which other outlets had it. Horrible.
That night, we went to Alex’s place so that he could dye hair for Mel. And after one whole night filled with madness, we got Violet!
Celebrated Ting’s belated birthday at Villa Bali yesterday. The place really reminded me of Casa Luna in Bali. Haha. No cake for the birthday girl cos she doesn’t like cakes and oso it’s not good to have a cake for a belated celebration. But it was good seeing everyone again!
I can’t seem to remember much about the other things that happened. I know I’ve been out a lot til the wee hours of the morning omost everyday but what I’ve been doing, I’m not sure. Hur hur.
Anyway, I’ve been trying. I need to see you try too. I’m exhausted. There’s so much more to life than just you and yourself. Grow up. Open your mind.

I went to eat XDL.
I had a incessant craving for Gelare ice cream & waffles.
I called 100 a million times and every time I got a Gelare outlet which nobody picked up.
I finally found out that there are only 3 Gelare outlets left in the entire Singapore.
I think 100 should seriously update their fucking directory so they wouldn’t make people pay for redundant telephone numbers.
I ended up eating ice cream @ Tom’s Palette.
I liked their Chocolate Stout flavour.
I went to eat TJZ.
I dunno why I can’t stop eating.
I have 2 bags of Ruffles & a bag of Super Rings in my room.
I’m trying to pretend I can’t see them so that I wouldn’t eat them.
I need something else to distract me from them.
I decided to make myself a drink.
I am now having canned pineapple-stuffed-rambutan-in-sickeningly-sweet-syrup.
I am telling myself I’m having fruits and water so how bad can that be?
I am such a glutton.
I like.
I decided to forgo watching Jacky Cheung & A-Mei @ Fort Canning.
I told myself it’s cos I have no idea who the other 2 bands are and oso I don’t have high expectations for Fort Canning’s sound system.
I would however pay thru my nose if the 4 heavenly kings came together for a concert here.
I am waiting for my Ah Lau to come to Singapore and acknowledge me as his rightful wife even though now everyone’s talking about his other rightful Malaysian wife, Carol Chu.
I am looking forward to the second week of November even though I have no idea how confirmed details are yet.
I am crossing my fingers real hard!
