friday the 13th on repeat
after all the talk of bad luck and what not,
i unknowingly booked my driving test on
none other than friday the 13th of may.
some vile & perverse fiend somewhere is practising voodoo
on a little figurine he has dubbed "marissa".
got accepted into smu biz ad.
cue the confetti & balloons please !
no, wait.
hold yer horses ...
i'd rather help satan stuff pineapples up hitler's ass
day after day than do biz ad.
where is my letter from nus ?! :(
i'm upset we're upset this is upsetting.
the eye feeds on beauty like ravenous scavengers gormandizing decomposing carcasses.
the vast extent of my boredom accumulated from work has led me to succumb to indulging in various voyeuristic pleasures which i'm really rather bashful of.
my mind now finds it so much easier to ingest completely nonsensical blog ramblings with visual accompaniment (pictures pictures & more pictures !) as opposed to more intellectual rants abt worldly issues, current affairs and the philosophical brain juices of today's young bloggers.
what have i become ?
nothing tht amounts to very much evidently.
my obssession has become borderline obscene.
if only there was a future in studying greek mythology.
but of course, theres a future in everything and anything at all.
the future's inevitable.
so let's re-phrase tht shall we :
if only there was a bright future involving wealth success & immeasurable happiness in studying greek mythology.
i seriously cannot see myself studying disgustingly hard fer the next coupla years,
only to work repulsively hard fer the remainder of my time on earth.
ok now i make myself sound like a martian.
theres no time left to ramble on abt the vacuous thoughts in my half-witted little mind.
black eyed peas - dont phunk with my heart
(fergie is a fucking hottie !)

wednesday the 27th = friday the 13th
today has gotta be the most jinxed day i've had in the past 4 months.
to think it was gonna be a good day !
waking up from blissful sleep and a good dream is an oh-so-deceiving sign.
first up,
shortly after arriving at work,
decided to make a trip to the toilet to answer nature's call.
upon looking into the mirror,
there it was.
shocking blue undies screaming at me in the reflection.
so much fer colour-coordinating my under garments.
some pple are quite aware of my passion fer mismatched underwear.
so today, of all days, i choose to be as non-trashy as i cld possibly be
(to bother matching my underwear ! imagine the time consumed in this mindless + pointless act !)
and it turns out i'm almost ten times trashier.
you see, i'm wearing a white skirt.
blue undies + white skirt = disaster of epic proportions.
will omit further details to spare you the vomit.
i swear this white skirt is out to get me.
so the day carries on as per normal.
i blogsurf, i read senseless articles, a lil paperwork here and there, chat with various online creatures, have my meals, snack, yada yada.
then my poor lil feet start to hurt (ok, i lied. my feet are HUGE)
so much fer trying to squeeze size 8 feet into what feels like size 5 heels.
fer those of you aware of my ordeal last yr wif those puny (but very lovely hehe THANKS BOM) dunks i wore to sch everyday of 2004
yes this feels 10 times worse.
i just had to buy em tho they werent my size !
beauty = pain right ? RIGHT ?
right, they shld change tht to unbearable, horrendous, gut-wrenching pain.
i mean, these heels we're talkin abt -
they're like the best buy i've made all year !
thumbs up from both the bestfriend and boyfriend.
i mean, thts gotta mean something right ?
right okayy, getting too emotional here.
its been a rough day, really.
so as the day's abt to come to an end,
this strange yet familiar sensation comes over me.
familiar because it makes its presence felt once every month.
of all the fucking misfortunes i've had to deal with,
i had to get my bloody period (you bet the pun's intended !) today.
and whats worse,
to be caught off guard, with zero backup.
goodbye, white skirt from A/X.
and i was supposed to have my last driving lesson tonight.
do you know how hard its been just trying to BOOK a lesson ?
like fer the past 2 weeks or so.
so thanks to inappropriate shoes,
bruised&blistered feet,
a stained skirt (luckily not too obvious),
and the lack of a tampon
I AM GOING HOME.
i hate today.
contrary to what the calendar says,
today is fucking friday the 13th.
garbage - queer

but when we rise its like strawberry fields
my final emancipation has been postponed till next friday.
and while theres much to complain abt,
i'd rather think happy thoughts and munch on gummy bears.
as opposed to the midas touch,
everything i touch seems to stagnate, if not deteriorate.
lately, i've been having this uncontrollable urge to turn everything good in my life upside down
and taking the antagonism a little further everyday just to see when things will finally explode.
like blowing bits of air into a balloon dangerously close to bursting,
just to see how much it takes to get it to burst.
by then, it'd be too late.
more like tap dancing in a minefield if you ask me.
as you get older, everything seems to get increasingly incomprehensible.
yourself included.
like when you find yourself talking a mile a minute, then lapsing into unexplainable silence.
being deliriously happy one moment, then miserably depressed the next.
my happiness has always been inversely proportionate to the amount of food i eat.
however, these days, in contrast to the past,
the more i eat, the more elated i become.
i swear, its almost crazy.
i am giving myself high blood pressure.

It must be your skin that I'm sinking in
It must be for real cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind, it's not my kind
It's not my time to wonder why
Everything gone white, everything's grey
Now you're here, now you're away
I don't want this, remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
Don't let the days go by

you know what i hate most ? rhetorical questions.
an eventful weekend it was.
to altivo we went !
just us four creatures, vehemently craving alcohol and a place to "chill out".
so after tht arduous climb to the top of mt faber,
and dangerous parking along its winding slopes,
we arrived at our destination only to realize *gasp* its not air-conditioned !
yes, i mock.
guys just have this tendency to perspire when exposed to fresh air.
sensitive sweat glands. or whateveryoucallit.
anyways, we spent a whopping sum on a small amount of drinks
which saw me getting sufficiently high
and increasingly bent on pursuing some peculiar adventure involving cemeteries & (hopefully) the supernatural.
so yada yada, 2 hours fly pass.
then its me, flushed cheeks & all, sitting in the driver's seat of leon's car.
3 frightened passengers, one who claimed to have left his balls at hm, and who also "pee-ed on the seat" thanks to my (ahem) skill.
no, said person is NOT leon. leon has faith in my AHEM skill.
haha right.
so we head all the way back to leon's cosy abode, in hopes of switching cars with his mom to ensure a safe and steady journey.
driving a stick, with all its gear-changing, roaring engine, the frequent jerking&bumping, and the possibility of stalling, is certainly not the best option when deciding to venture into areas such as cemeteries.
but, lo and behold !
his mom's not home. hence, neither is her car.
so fuck the wasted trip, we needed to tk a piss anyways, then off we go.
but really, it was less of an adventure and more of a long (but freaky) car ride
which resulted in us sending raymond all the way hm (jurong to woodlands).
like i said, our choice of transport was not really a wise one.
so stealthily creeping 100 metres into the cemetery, a single flash of the high beam to see where we're going, catching sight of a dozen scary looking chinese tombs right in front of us,
then it changed into more of a 100 sprint in the opposite direction towards where we'd entered by.
so much fer Muslim Cemetery St 17.
oh, did i mention we were in limchukang ?
after tht it was pretty much endless driving along very isolated roads,
not a soul, nor livingbreathing person in sight.
drove past ray's camp, its name i cannot remember.
i pity poor NSmen who have to walk long and deserted roads into camp at unearthly hours.
i hereby conclude, our adventure was sufficiently scary.
a thank you to bomster fer being the v. brave & sporting driver tht he was =)
it was freaky enough being in the passenger/back seat,
but its like 10 times worse being the driver.
and thankyou to grace&ray fer the good company :)
alrite.
now tht i have successfully forced upon you the details of my weekend,
how was your weekend ?

the silent countdown
must keep my ecstacy discreet.
theres something abt perforated flesh & permanently ink-stained skin tht sends an adrenaline rush beyond conceivable boundaries.
yesterday, we pranced & dallied in an unknown phantasmagorical dimension, and stumbled upon over-efficiently buried childhood memories.
robert pierce, jackie "jackolena/jackolantern" chen, the big toy, amythebitch, mr. barkman, mrs. martin - a swirling tornado of human bodies and their final deposition in my mind.
just one act of carelessness, and i'd be the masculine lesbian i almost became.
i want to flagellate myself fer being so goddamn pessimistic & unrelenting in my preconceived perception of "what might happen".
the paranoia is nearly driving me insane, and the momentary self-loathing tht arises everytime i find myself thinking bad thoughts abt you is extremely exhausting.
debilitating even.
the devil&angel tht keep my conscience balanced are playing terrible tennis inside my head, therefore causing my mental facilities to go haywire.
yesterday, we soaked up enough rays to generate solar heating fer an entire auditorium.
thanks to very effective bananaboat spf 30 sunblock, i'm hardly much tanner than i was before.
nevertheless, my brain's been filled wif enough serotonin to keep me in a euphoric daze fer the next 11 hours or so.
pictures galore, but we failed to document ourselves getting air brushed tattoos.
in the name of kicks and a cheap thrill, we've got tht single alphabet in funky font sitting somewhere near our hipbones fer the next 2 weeks :)
sorry to disappoint you, leon.
its as temporary as ........
a stick on tattoo.
another night of peaceful slumber in my lovely new but temporary room.
its gonna tk a lot more to get me to shift back to my old place.
cant find excuses to get pple to slp wif me over the phone anymore.
frightened or not, i just love doing tht.
in search of an ideal sputnik & a non-haunted bed&breakfast in the outskirts of paris.
don't get mad.
i won't be sorry.

lil miss tanorexic
in just 3 hours
i will be lying on the sandy beaches of sunny sentosa
soakin up some mid day rays
and hopefully sippin margaritas with lil miss skin&bones.
half a day off from work is just what i need.
am playin hooky under the pretense of an interview at some uni.
lks like my dear e'an did just the same yesterday ! :)
its my dearest mommy's birthday today.
she turns 51 but i dont think she lks a day over 45.
shes been my best friend fer the past 19 yrs
and tho sometimes shes nuts&neurotic to the bone,
i still love her all the same.
in fact, i find myself developing some of her not-so-positive traits
like the impatient, irrascible, and short-fused side of her.
dinner tonight at windows on bukit @ SICC (buffet !!)
my bottomless pit of a tummy beams in delight at the mere thot of it.
received a letter from ntu yesterday
and i've been accepted into the psycho fac ... how apt.
think there was another letter accompanying it
offering me some double degree or some crap.
havent actually really read the letter,
and all i can remem seeing is "psychology", "offered" and "one of the few".
hahaha
so yeah, will go hm and piece the bits tog to see what really is going on.
headed over to the dior addict promotion site @ raffles city after work yesterday
with grace's $60 voucher in hand.
its been eons since i've been in tht entire city hall area.
anyways, picked up some lipstick fer the best friend,
and a black crayon eyeliner fer mom.
all it cost me was a mere $2 !
i swear, i cannot be at these places and be expected to make swift decisions in the presence of eager salespersons.
so many choices laid out in front of me to spend my half of the voucher on,
but i'm just the biggest doofus when it comes to these things.
normal pple wld tk their time to browse and find something they can make the most of their voucher with,
i didnt even tk a second lk at the other lipsticks, and everything else was just a blur of swirling colours to me.
made a beeline fer the eyeliner and made my purchase in less than 10mins.
oh well, at least thts over n done with
the bear necessities are all i need.
cannot blog properly due to big scary images of cable cars, sand castles, crashing waves & bright blue cloudless skies obstructing my flow of thought.

unwearable clothes galore and SMOO !!
upon doing the heaps of packing over the past coupla days
i realised the startlingly enormous amount of unwearable items i own
which is contributing to the added danger of my wardrobe bursting into smithereens.
i seriously needa organize some garage sale extravaganza.
pronto.
my mom always catches me standing half naked in front of my closet,
lamenting abt not having anythg to wear.
"so many clothes, and still nothing to wear"
says she.
ahhh pfft.
she shld talk.
anyways,
am finally moving tonight !
its gonna be my first night slpg in tht room i have all to myself
which is like so fucking far away from my parents' room.
huge difference compared to how we used to have connectg rooms.
slpg alone is a scary thing fer me
thanks to past experiences (groaning noises & humming of machines tht dont exist).
our rooms are gonna be separated by a longggg hall :(
i'm scared shitless already.
yah moving along.
went fer my smu (SMOO !) interview today.
jeeeeeee-zus.
us local kids can really go on & on & on abt the most irrelevant things
and actually make em sound totally relevant in the process.
such seriousness. tsk.
i was bored shitless, nonetheless.
interview was conducted like such :
grp of 8 interviewees facing a panel of 2 interviewers (profs of SMOO)
engaging in a grp discussion - topic being the bloody casino (no surprises there yes?)
well actually we were given 2 articles to read before the interview,
n the one our discussion was based on was titled : "so far soul good"
and it was basically abt materialism and whether or not s'poreans have a soul.
well to me it was just another of those articles
where the govt tries to give themselves a pat on the back fer having done so well
(in this case, creating a vibrant arts scene and building a nation with a soul ! woo !
i seriously dont see why we always needa assure ourselves tht we're doing a gd job)
and i think now theyre just trying to convince themselves and the nation
tht our soulful lil nation can handle the effects of having a casino.
goddammit man.
i seriously thot it wld be a piece 'o cake.
but nooooooooo
all those biz-minded chicks started yakkin abt
errr i cannot remem, their incoherent speech was drowned out by the thumpg of my heart.
but here're e bits i remem : egs of s'poreans having a soul -
donating to nkf, community service, etc.
and everyone was talking all at once, bombarding e profs wif their ohsointelligent answers
while i sat there staring at the ceiling and attempting to formulate an answer or something like it.
so after much silence on my part,
i was invited to add my 2 cents worth (totally worthless)
and there i was sounding like a total lit geek
talking abt the article being written in a mocking tone (author is a veteran playwright),
and how its only typical of playwrights to seek complicated routes to get to their point.
abt how the govt's superficial way of creating a nation wif a soul is almost hilarious
and tht the the local arts scene is just an artificial creation in hopes of portraying a nation wif a soul (apparently arts appreciation is evidence of possessing a soul).
and tht a casino is a bad idea cos it contradicts the govt's aims of wanting to enhance our arts scene (i mean, wtf have the 2 got to do wif each other ?! what are they doing in the same friggin article ?!)
and tht social ills will arise inevitably,
and we cannot ignore the recent happenings involving suicides caused by gambling debts.
haii so much more crap tht spewed forth from my jinxed lips.
i spare you.
so far, you get my point la huh.
then i go and hit them wif this during the Q&A session :
"what has smu got to offer tht other unis dont ?"
which sorta leaves em rather peeved
becos they dont have a fucking answer.
so yes,
what are my chances of getting in ?
none i hope. i dont wanna go.
hahahaha :D
HAI.
i'm going home to pack s'more.

the bold & the beautiful vs. the lewd & obscene
was astonished & aghast at the delicate pieces of info recently divulged to me.
such voraciousness in seeking attention can get nauseating to watch.
our conversations never fail to leave me bemused & light-headed.
if we were to be stranded on an island alone together,
i can guarantee tht we'd drive each other terribly insane.
but somehow, i think we'd be happy in this unbalanced + dysfunctional kinda way.
have got a fucking busy day ahead of me.
once again i've been assigned the task of dog-walking.
so i'm gonna get picked up frm work,
head straight 2 the garden,
possibly grab a veryspeedy dinner if time permits,
speedwalk my fatfurry dogs
n rush off fer driving at 655pm.
cool bananas.
fuck.
anyways,
came across this cool site .
some of the stuff's a lil disturbing,
while others just leave a sad&bitter aftertaste.
a rather intriguing project.
it cld prove useful to some of you.

bartender, give the lady a mudslide !
i dont know why but it feels like i've had to paddle thru mud to get by the past 7 days.
it sure as hell wasn't easy, as some of you who've rowed yer boat in a river of mud wld know.
but obviously, none of you have.
put yerself in my shoes fer just one minute
cos i swear it wldnt tk a retard more than a minute to figure this shit out.
so cld you spare tht fragment of time outta yer busybusy schedule
to think abt why i might be upset ?
rather than continuously treat everything as tho they were absolutely normal.
because my actions have been screaming "crazy bitch" fer the longest time.
does tht seem at all normal to you.
ok, thts enough.
i know where all this is gonna end up.
right back in the "in" tray of my mountain of problems,
so fuck it.
thank god fer last night.
i havent been so hyper, nor laughed so hard in the longest time.
it kinda reminded me tht, having stayed in town fer so long,
i nv really got bored of the place.
i mean, we all know theres nothing to do in orchard.
this is singabloodypore fer chrissakes, whats there to do in ANY part of it ?
but good conversation & the ability to find joy in the simplest of things
(like going nearly bonkers and giving an obscene amount of business
to heeren's neoprint machines)
is just abt enough to make a big bloody difference.
marched arnd town after our disatisfying dinner at coffeeclubexpress,
treated myself to a chocchip cookie (e other one courtesy of emmerz),
and basically relaxed in the company of 2 extremely different but
equally fun pple to be with :)
bumped into cindy, rach & fio
and i dont think i've spoken tht loudly/animatedly/quickly in months.
we were like a fucken road block obstructg human traffic
at the mouth of the underpass btw taka&wisma.
i miss being tht way, and i miss being with old friends.
noisy, uninhibitedly bitchy, and just laughing all over the place :)
too bad yer stuck with the serious me.
the me who's always pissed off with some thing or other.
the me whose mood swings are so erratic, you can barely catch yer breath trying to keep up.
i think i have cancer of some sort
some internal organ somewhere is definitely sending out faint signals, begging to be saved.
if stress causes cancer,
then i definitely have it.
cancer of what, tho ?
tht i cldnt possibly know.
am done with my big fat ben elton book
and now moving on to antoine de saint-exupery's
The Little Prince.
loaned to me by my very nice colleague :)
i dont like adults either.
and i dont want to grow up.

I've been watching your world from afar
I've been trying to be where you are
And I've been secretly falling apart
Unseen
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful
You'd be so perfect with me
But you just can't see
You turn every head but you don't see me
I'll put a spell on you
You'll fall asleep
When I put a spell on you
And when I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me

hyphenated words hold hands
with all the moroseness going on, you'd think tht somebody died.
am left with a measly 2 and a half wks at work,
anticipating the long-awaited emancipation !
not tht it was ever dreadful, nor was i held here against my will.
but it just feels good to have FREE TIME once and for all :)
even better news (more like a mixture of good&bad actually)
the entire wing in which i reside is gonna go under renovation
so my family's gotta get up off our lazy asses
and move to the main wing by the end of the week.
the sad bit's the fact tht my dogs cant come wif us :(
they're gonna be boarded at my groomer's place fer abt a month
meaning i dont hafta walk em fer a month.
which is good !
but what crumby timing ... cos i'm not gonna be working anymore,
free at last to pay em the attention they deserve.
will probably pop by the groomer's every now n then to tk em fer walkies.
fer 4 months i have been slogging like a madperson.
i get tingly just thinking bout all the things i'm gonna do
come the month of may :)
regain some sanity, fer starters.
meeting the daughter & the best friend ltr tonight.
it'll be pictures&food&yakking galore :)
am so overjoyed fer vern cos she got into np masscom !
was disappointed last yr when i found out she didnt get in
cos i think she fits the bill like a glove.
and my dear grace is rolling in moolah rite now
giving tuition/torture to lil kiddies arnd the island.
i cld nv be a tutor,
i might end up a child murderer.
intolerance is my undoing.
gonna catch "boeing boeing" next thursday.
am quite excited cos i've been hearing some goodshit abt it.
i nv do doubt the abilities of lim yu beng,
he was once a mentor to members of the st nicks' eldds.
i think he happens to be pretty damn good.
and did you see the CLEAVAGE on those chicks in the ad ?!
hurhur.
it'll be fun, methinks.
i need more single friends.
everyone please break up with yer significant others now :)
oh well, just kidding :(
i miss jin and soso monsta.
and vic, why arent you meeting us tonight ?
is it because you've got driving ?
cos if you do, i'll go fer my lesson at 850 :D
but then again, i'm a lazy bum.
my daily dilemma is in full swing again.

more scatological ranting.
my little glass globe has finally spun off its perfect perch on the world's axis in the most frantic fashion, leaving me bewildered and slightly frazzled. whats worse is the fact tht its come to an eventual halt in the darkest and coldest of places, scarred by hairline cracks tht threaten its existence. overwhelmed by a feeling of immense disconnection and, to some extent, displacement. attempting to hold on to too many things at once often leaves you too preoccupied & tied down to attend to other matters pertaining to life.
spent the weekend in sombre soberness.
theres something abt getting wasted tht quells the extreme boredom life inflicts upon us.
depression is contagious, but i am determined to not succumb to this peer pressure.
it lurks in the dark corners of yer subconscious, then creeps upon you like an invisible fiend waiting to destroy you completely, inside and out.
okayy, moving right along.
finally hit the track yesterday fer a long overdue workout.
was desperate to burn off tht very sinful lunch i had with my parents at shangri la.
a most futile attempt, i'd say.
the weather was inappropriate fer my self-inflicted torture (wayy too sunny),
the place was too crowded (i'm shy ...),
and my stamina is just zero at the moment.
but anyhow,
i highly recommend tht all flock to the line - the hotel's swanky new coffeehouse
which just emerged from a SGD 7.5 million renovation.
obscene cost of renovation also means exorbitant rates - $41+++ fer lunch & dinner from mon - sat and $68+++ on sundays.
luckily my folks and i went to the chinese restaurant (which sucked) fer lunch and then to the line only fer dessert cos they didnt have a table available fer us till almost 2pm.
headed to some dog show organized by s'pore kennel club (association ??) after lunch.
will not elaborate.
caught the pacifier on thursday nite and it was hella good.
very apt movie to suit the mood, considering how i was in dire need of being pacified.
waiting patiently is not always one of my best traits (i am most impatient).
waiting patiently alone fer over an hour is a disaster (fer me and fer person who bears my wrath upon arrivial).
but tht aside, its a funny feel-good movie i'd recommend fer easy watching.
you cant undo the damage like you did the dents on yer fender.

I know a girl who reminds me of Cher,
She's always changin' the color of her hair,
She don't use nothin', You buy at the store,
She likes her hair to, be real orange
She uses Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
the flaming lips - she don't use jelly :)

untamed idiocy
its unfathomable how feigned ignorance sets my nerves off in a murderously frenzied dance.
you need to get yer priorities sorted out.
woke up at 6 this morning (precisely an hour before i really needed to get up) and was overwhelmed by an early morning emotional ordeal. think : disappointment & dejection due to the absence of valuable textmessages (again). so before i go and overdramatize, i make mental note to self : do not overdramatize. so there, tht was my morning.
hope it rains buckets in the late afternoon so i wont get bogged down by dog-walking duties again.
shall seek comfort & consolation in ben elton's past mortem.
blind melon - no rain

the mournful cries of disgruntled youth
to sit arnd philosophizing abt the ironies of life is not, in my opinion, the best thing to do upon settling down at work first thing in the morning. but what i simply cannot ignore is the almost impudent way murphy's law is trouncing my already uneventful life into rotten pulp. of course, seeing as to how every action comes with an effect, this shld all have been expected. murphy's law or not.
anyways, all grumbling abt my procrastinating expertise will cease fer the moment, due to the fact tht i finally submitted my resignation. with luck on my side, i foresee myself being free from gainful employment by the end of the month, and very happily so. working has been a blast in more ways than one, but now its time to relax and be the ultimate bum. however, with all tht free time on my hands, i still dont quite picture myself partying my brains out and staying up till daybreak. we shall see.
got a call from smu yesterday, informing me tht i'd been shortlisted fer an interview.
oh, ecstacy !
not.
i loathehateabhor interviews. watch me cringe.
reading wei's account of the abominable smu interview didnt make things any better.
so now, counting down till the 18th ...
-
paranoia is a stalker tht shadows my every move so closely, its almost a second skin.
sometimes, when i actually bother to reflect,
i find myself way too young to be this anal.
i see it as semi perfectionism in a subliminal way.
or maybe its just premature emotional ageing.
perhaps its time to let loose and be more easygoing,
leave the stiff & uptight persona fer old age.
old age = 30s - 40s and above.
spending huge chunks of time in solitude contributes significantly to over-thinking.
time i give my mind a holiday.
i hate the fact tht no one cares.
so i pretend to prefer it this way.
who will write my eulogy ?
doesnt matter cos no one's coming to my funeral.
i'm a lunatic.
saves the day - hold

skid marks & checkered flags
had the most mind-blowing road trip over the weekend.
putting the experience down in words wld simply not do it justice,
hence i shall refrain and let the pics do the talking.
they'll probably come up tmr,
my days are too jam-packed fer uploading.
the trip has left me aching hungrily fer
speed, a fast car, and
i've already started counting the days to the next race :)
like a scene straight outta 2fast2furious.
the sound of roaring engines is still reverberating in my ears.
my fabulous lil weekend has also left me wif some not-so-glorious after-effects.
my eye luggage appear to weight a tonne,
thanks to catching only 4 hrs of slp on fri nite.
have developed an eye infection cos i was too lazy to tk out my contacts,
wore em all thru fri & sat.
and i'm seriously overcome with fatigue.
needa find some way to catch my forty winks in peace.
-
my procrastinating streak knows no end.
some mysterious demon is causing the heavy delay in my resignation.
must stop blaming external causes fer my own faults :D
i think i'm just afraid they wont lemme quit,
cos i vaguely remember signing a contract tht says i plan on working till july.
thts just insanity, tht means i work non-stop till sch starts.
but honestly, is it possible fer em to refuse ??
my fear of rejection can get outta hand sometimes.
my penchant fer dragging things is one of the biggest reasons i'm still doing the things i do today.
so much can be said abt tht ... hmmm.
its hilarious, sometimes, when pple think they can get away with doing the most audacious things. and more often than not, it does seem like they're being let off the hook. just temporarily, theyre given the false impression tht their dirty deeds have been expertly covered up and theyre safe. but, no.
did anyone catch desperate housewives last nite ?
fer some reason, my mom thot bree van de kamp was being awfully mean.
personally, i was amused.
and in all honesty, i wld've done the same.
adultery is an unforgivable act.
i'm heartless like tht :)
bob marley - i shot the sheriff
p.s.
happy birthday grace ! :)

kool kalm kollektid
quite to the contrary, i am anything but.
i have not yet received a response to the email i sent to nus 4 days ago regarding my application.
at the moment, due to lack of supporting documents,
my application is still pending.
and today, being the deadline (also april fool's day)
every goddamn soul is calling up the admissions office
thus engaging the line and preventing my call from getting thru.
on top of all tht,
i have yet to send my documents over to smu
AND make payment of $15 in person.
the deadline being 4 april.
i may very well end up studying abroad.
-
tht aside,
i'm going to kl tonight !
its gonna be a longgg drive.
luckily boms n i bought big fluffy yellow pillows at the ikea sale recently :)
still mourning the loss of the 8 boxes of green tea sweets bom's mom just gave me yesterday :(
they were flown all the way from thailand specially fer me.
imagine if she knew.
i cannot begin to imagine :(
gotta stock up on granola bars,
white grape aloe vera, bottles of soya bean, grapes + bananas,
1.5L bottle of water, wheatgrass drink, and yoghurt.
okayy those are my snacks fer the roaddd.
hehe YUMMMmmm.
oh and a jar of honey too ... my daily staple.
actually all the above are staple food.
staple snacks i mean.
all thts missing is my green tea sweets =*if anyone happens to spot "y.e.s ! green tea" sweets while on holiday,
kindly buy as many boxes as you can fer me :)
i will pay you back in cash ! AND in kind.
theyre not available in singabloodypore. roarrr.
anyways.
saw a pair of adidas shoes at left foot (fareastplaza) yesterday.
it had lil clover prints all over it & the word 'boston' printed in small gold fonts at the side.
thot it was so cute :)
and totally apt fer today.
am quite keen on purchasin a coupla pairs of havaianas.
my old flipflops are beginning to grow mould.
more things to add to my monthly shopping list.
the only significant purchase i've made wif my pay
is probably the ninewest bag & shoes i bought my mom which cost approx $240.
havent actually splurged on myself at all yet.
mid valley here i come ! :)
