"Dance Alive" @ NYP

Enjoyed the dance/arts/musical performance put up by NYP students... And of course, my dear old friend, Pauline was involved as well, tat's why we got free tix ... *hahaz*
She's totally into dancing... salsa, waltz, tango, latin and wad's-not... you name it, she'll dance it... *lolz* And she looked stunning, BUT on stage oni coz there's a certain distance between us n her so we can't really see her close-up... So when she's off-stage, OMG, her makeup turned us off almost immediately... *wahahahz* It's so damn thick n overdone... BUT can't blame her lahz hor... it's not her fault tat her make-up made her look like a transvestite... juz blame her makeup artists... *heeheez*
Aniwae, the performance was superb, especially the hiphop dancers - powerful. And the symphony concert band was also bravo, in my humble opinion... Watching them perform made me reminisce the good old days when I'm in band myself... Practising like hell all day long for concert performances or competitions and so on... *haiz* Xiang dang nian worz......
The musical was quite short, only lasted for an hour plus... So after everything, we were waiting for Lin to join us, and boy, she's damn excited n high n happie, even though all of us were criticising her makeup like nobody's business... A friend of ours even refused to take pictures wif her becoz of tat... *hahahz* But she dint realli care... Kept urging us to take pics wif her... *lolz*
Obviously, we spent quite some time cam-whoring wif one another, as well as checking out cute guys... *shy grinz*
Finally, we decided to leave and head for Bedok 85 for dinner/supper...
To cut long story short, have a look at these pics tat I took wif my DC... *hahahz* So happie tat it has finally come to good use... *wide grinz*

Lin, I'm so sorrie I put this up, but it's the MOST classic (another word for hilarious) pic of the nite and I simply can't resist the temptation to show everyone wad u look like in ur super-duper thick makeup... BUT she's realli pretty lahz... Can't stop laughing whenever I look at this pic... *LOLZ* Btw, it wasnt me who took dis shot, think it's either xiang or tiong who's playing wif my DC... *hee*

She looks better here, rite?? *smilez*

Lin posing wif her fellow dancer... Sweet.
After hanging ard for a few minutes, Lin had to dash for some de-brief I think... so only left us le...

Me and Celes and Cookie Monster...

The three of us: tiong & me & celes...

Xiang is sooo naughty... trying to compete his cam wif my DC. Guess who won in the end? Juz look at his face. WARNING: Ignore the guy in red. He's trying to be stupid.

So, Xiang knew he lost to me. He went to face the wall and repented. Let's forgive him.

Retardedly scary. *heeheez*

Tat's Xiang and Samantha Lin Yu Hui... She changed her name worz, becoz the new name can bring her a better life... Coolz.

OMG, I dint know Xiang has got a thing for sniffing people's hair... But I guess Celes is okie wif... Wad are frenz for aniwae???!!!
OMG!!! I'm falling in lurve wif polaroids!!! I absolutely adore dis one... Courtesy of Celestine Tan Ser Ming, for being generous wif her polaroid films and giving me dis one... but too bad someone's head is too big and block part of me... but still, we all look GORGEOUS!!!!
It's supper time at Blk 85...
Met a stupid uncle there... Coz we had 5 ppl, so we grabbed one additional blue chair over to our table... but becoz the chairs are colour-coded (blue & brown), we are not supposed to take the blue one coz our table is for the brown ones (confusing??)... Den dis uncle came over n took back the blue chair... ridiculous... I told him we had 5 ppl, but he told us rudely to take another brown chair... *diaoz* Wad difference does it make? It's all chairs which ppl used to sit their butts, wad's the big deal??? Crazy old selfish uncle.

Celes looking happie after filling her empty stomach wif Ba Co Mee...

Xiang trying to lessen the cleaner's burden by clearing the table, while Celes stared off into space, pinning for her dessert to come asap... *hahaz*
Celes dint wait for Xiang to pose properly, and she's going to be a photographer in the future...

I think we ate more than these...
Well, I guess tat's all for Saturday nite...
NOW I'm going to bitch abt my work (I know, again!) for the day...
Dunno wad happen, but the system in the clinic was DOWN DOWN DOWN!!! Can you imagine??? Not only our clinic was experiencing a downtime, but the other polyclinics in the whole of Singapore were also down...
So it was super-duper chaotic... Staff shouting for numbers, patients coming to your counter to disturb u, non-stop registering... mistakes made after one another... *haiz* Why muz dis happen to me??? And it's a Saturday somemore!!! *GASPS* Boy, I'm so glad the clock hits 12.30pm... It seemed like a fierce battle (we dint even haf time to go for break!) and I'm totally exhausted after work... Now I realised that technology is soooo important to human beings... *shakez head*
Wad are we going to do without IT???

Devil's Eye

Been feeling shitty throughout dis whole week... so sianz of working at the clinic le...
I think the myth of Devil's Eye is realli realli farking true.
For your ignorance, Devil's Eye is something bad tat will occur when you kept saying tat particular sth is good. A simple example:
"Hey, I think you'll get veri good results for ur exams lehz!"
"Ya lorz! Confirm get distinctions de!!!"
Becoz all ur friends kept saying you will score VERI well, Devil's Eye will drop by and plant a bombshell on you... The end result? Zilch distinction but all lousy grades... So in other words, Devil's Eye is a veri powerful n nonexistent freak tat will result in veri bad happenings/ outcomes/ endings... Geddit???
So for my case, Devil's Eye found its way into my life.
Initially, I was VERI happie wif my current job... I dunno why, but I am juz happie happie happie, and I like this job veri much...
BUT den now?
I'm realli tired of working there... Within this week, I made dunno how many donkey mistakes le... All becoz of my carelessness, forgetfulness, blurness (if there's such a word!) and simple-mindedness...
To make things worse, there's dis colleague, who so happen to be a *ahem!*, has her eight characters clashing wif mine...
I TOTALLY DISLIKE HER.
Period.
She's such a fake, busybody, bossy, showoff, irritating, nosy and arrogant bitch. How lousy can a person get???
I'm trying not to be racist here, but I realli can't help it. I juz dun click wif *ahem* ppl... But I haf to admit, I have a realli good *ahem* friend at work... she's one of those whom you can make friends wif, and one who's different from the rest of her kind...
Aniwae, I heard tat dis kaypo bitch is crazy over promotion in the clinic, so she's always cheonging to do everything... But tat's okie...
BUT!!! She doesnt have to EVERY SINGLE SHIT THING rite???!!!
I mean, she's fighting to answer everybody's qns, fighting to be the first one out there to serve patients, fighting to be CE's pet, fighting to find faults on others, fighting to listen to ME talking to patients, fighting to do basically EVERY LITTLE THING... She's realli trying to make herself busy, but for no reason...
Can't stand it. Especially when she sat next to my counter... OMG... Imagine I had to sit wif her throughout the day... Imagine I had to tolerate her nonsense... Imagine the stress when she's eyeing you from the corner of her eyes to find fault or to watch wad you're doing, then saying loudly so everyone in the office can hear if you make a mistake...
*dying to show middle finger*
WTH + WTF.
Got once, I met a problem and I asked my other colleague for help (I deliberately refused to ask Kaypo Bitch, altho she's nearby)... So my colleague explained to me, and I knew how to go about doing it...
Guess wad KB did??
She walked over to my counter, told me EXACTLY wad my colleague has told me, and even showed me how to navigate the system... *roarz!!!*
For GYM's sake, I DIDNT ASK FOR UR HELP AT ALL!!! JUZ F***KING LEAVE ME ALONE CAN???!!!
And the way she behaved... It was like I'm a stupid temp gal who doesnt know how to do a single shit thing... She purposely explained veri loudly in front of the patient, who wore a I'm-so-suay-to-be-served-by-a-clueless-staff look...
I was bad mood for the rest of the day... She realli realli made me feel lousy n insignificant, making me more prone to making mistakes coz she's always looking out for me (not in a good way, though...)
*mighty sighz*
Another incident: There's dis patient who came and asked me sth regarding abt afternoon registration... I explained to her the procedures, rules & regulations n all... but as usual, some patients dun clean their ears de... So I had to repeat myself again n again til they understand... So dis woman, same thing. Made me repeat my words. Then suddenly...
"Jazz (tat's how she call me... for GYM's sake, she thinks she's best friend wif me or sth... *rolled eyes*), are you having difficulty explaining to patients??" said KB in an extraordinary loud voice.
"No, it's okie, I can handle." I said sarcastically. If she's smart, she'll know tat I'm trying to tell her to mind her own business. But I guess she's not, so I dint get the message across.
So, we juz dun like each other. I know she dislikes me. And I know she knows I despise her. BUT who cares??? I'm juz a temp... I can go anytime, i dun realli care... It's you ppl who needs ME, not the other way ard... I can juz leave, and the clinic'll be shorthanded... Since KB likes to be cheongster, let her do ALL the work.
But when I think of my other colleagues, who are all so so so nice to me, I can't bear to leave le... *ha* So contradicting... Actually, it's some of the ppl who's giving me the strength to carry on, and of course, money plays a veri important role... *hahahz* For tat, I muz perservere...
Devil's Eye. Or Karma. Or wadever...
I can't be too happie over one thing, or else *boom!* sth bad will happen...
Maybe I shouldnt be too happie tat I got a digi cam... sth bad may happen to it...
Maybe I shouldnt be too happie tat I got a place in NIE... sth bad may happen n change everything... Like I can't pass my medical clearance, den I can't be accepted by MOE... Or I can't manage the workload, and fail every sem... *shudders*
Call me superstitious or wad, I dun care... I'm pan-dang or wadever it's called... I believe in Devil's Eye n Karma... So ppl, NEVER be too happie over sth, or Devil's Eye will take tat away from you...
Tat's my gan xiang for the week.
Period. End of story.

Opposite of Up: DOWN!!!

Dunno why... but i'm feeling damn lousy today...
Maybe it's becoz my shifu "left" me due to a change in roster...
Maybe it's becoz I'm sianz of the work le...
Maybe it's becoz of a loudmouth + fake + backstabber colleague...
Maybe it's becoz of those spastic patients...
Maybe it's becoz I dint have enough sleep, so mood was bad...
Or juz maybe it's becoz I got up on the wrong side of bed...
*haiz*
So many maybes, which one can it be??
*********************
We had a new temp gal yesterday... Her name is QM, a yr younger than me, from TPJC, veri pretty n friendly... We hit it off instantly... coz I guess we're ard the same age, and there's so much more to talk abt... *ha* And the best part is tat she stays in Tampines, so there's finally someone who can take train back home wif me... I won't be so lonely anymore!! *heehee*
*********************
Was almost late for work yesterday... Guess why?
Busy "self-exploring" wif my baobei in the morning... *laughz*
So fun.
Got back home, and continued playing wif it... But no objects for me to take pics wif...
Mum was trying to be camera-shy.
Dad wasnt into cam-whoring.
Bro? Needless to say.
So I guess only left me n BeBe... *wahahahz*
*BeBe is soooo cute!!! I told her to "Sit and stay!", and she obediently be my model... *lolz* And oops... sorrie for my messy bed...
Got a call from xiang in the late evening... Went to watch Wild Hogs wif him, tiong n celes although i was damn tired...
But it's a funnie show... Not bad *thumbs up*... you guys muz watch it soon! *heehee*

*tiong's latenite supper: Qiu Lian Ban Mian from pasir ris central... Can you guys see HOW MUCH pepper he has put in? I'm deeply disgusted by it... looks like he's drinking solely pepper soup or sth... But he totally enjoyed it... *hahaz* Weirdo.

*********************

Please Saturday, can you arrive earlier? Can? Can? Can? Pretty please...??? I can't wait for the week to end... I can't wait to get away from work for a while... Or more likely, I can't wait for a nite's out to seriously put my IXUS 70 into good, proper use.

YES, I GOT IT!!!

Ladies n Gentlemen, I'm pleased n proud to announce tat:
One of my dreams have come true!!!
I've finally own a Digi Cam! *wahahahz* So happie...

You muz be wondering... it's juz a DC, so many ppl own a DC, why am I so pleased n proud of it??
Obviously I'm proud n happie of it... coz I bought it wif my own hard-earned money okie!
Being yelled at by spastic patients, squeezing in the train wif the morning crowd, being lecherously-disturbed by damn chee kos... I deserved a neat treat, yeah?? Although me mum sponsored a hundred bucks for me... *hehehz* But still, I paid the most okie dokie??? *wide grinz*
The DC is my birthday present for myself... Guess it's a bit early lahz hor... *hahahz* But you know me, I can't wait de...
So much thanks to xiang, celes n lin, who accompanied me to Sim Lim... Especially xiang, who helped me clarify so many doubts n spoke on my behalf to the salespeople... You're da man!! *hahahz*
We checked out three shops...
The first one - SUX. Tat man got attitude problem... I dun like. And when I dun like, I won't buy from him n let him earn my hard-earned money... But then the price tat he quotes is lowest among the three... but somehow i think it's too cheap to be true... How can a DC worth $529 and yet it's sold at $440?? Fishy, fishy... Oh btw, the shop's called Merdeka.
The second one - so so. The person's quite sincere, and the price he offers is within my budget... But we still wanna look ard first...
The third (and last) one - Better. And so it was there tat the Digital Ixus 70 is officially mine!!! *yay* In total, I've spent $492. The price is a bit lame rite... he die die oso want the 2 bucks... *haiz* But it's okie lahz... I trust tat shop: Song Brothers... Dun think they'll sell fake products ba...?
Aniwae, I'm so damn excited to explore my new cam tat I dint go wif them to esplanade to find tiong... went home straight... *hahaz*
Am I a bad friend?? *heehee*
I dun think so lahz hor...I need to work tmr lehz... And I'm so tired... been deprived of sleep recently... And the DC's got sooo many manuals for me to read... *sighz* Hate to read manuals lorz, but no choice... I'm a suay person... hafta read through the manuals to get an idea of how to navigate the cam... I tend to spoil gadgets by pressing the wrong button or something... tat's why my bro's so pissed off by me last time coz his things always died on my hands... *hahaz*
Nitez, peeps, can't wait to start cam-whoring wif my baobei tmr... *grinz*

Slackers

As usual, went to work early in the morning... and as usual, it was super-duper crowded... *rolled eyes*
Met another rude patient... dis auntie is crazy de...
I was calling for a number, so naturally it takes time for the patient to realise his/her number is being called before he/she can make his/her way up to my counter, rite?? (Common sense lahz hor...) So naturally, my counter was empty coz I was waiting for the tortoise patient to come... DEN horz, dis stupid auntie came up to me (angrily somemore), showed me her queue ticket, and started scolding why my counter is empty, why nobody shows up, yadda yadda... *rolled eyes*
SO ridiculous rite... Can't she see i'm waiting for my patient?? And aniwae, she's been waiting for 45 mins, and she'd only hafta wait for TWO more patients b4 her turn, which takes ard 5 mins?? I mean, she's oready been waiting for tat long, wad's another 5 mins to her??
Stupid lehz, dis kind of ppl... *shakez head*
Luckily it's only half day...
After work, I walked from the clinic to Audio House, thinking I could check out the prices for my DC... Mum told me they having some sort of promotions... but in the end, the prices are not cheaper than those in Sim Lim... Wad a wasted trip.
So I took train back home, and I met the Prudential guy who pestered me a couple of days ago...
It was quite embarrassing to meet him again... Coz when he stopped me tat day, I was pretty impatient to him coz I absolutely HATE to do such surveys coz I haf oready done it so freaking many times... and it's always the same old questions tat were asked... *rolled eyes* AND he's being irritating n insensitive coz he dint sense tat I wanna be left alone.
He then offered me a small packet of prawn crackers as a free gift. I kindly rejected it. He insisted tat I took it. I politely rejected it AGAIN. But he still insisted. Guess wad i told him?
"I'm allergic to prawns." Which is so-not true. *grinz*
He almost fainted. *hahahz*
Guess wad he did?? He ran back to the counter and took a packet of oreo cookies for me... My gosh, he's so persistent... Left wif no choice, I took it, or else i knew he wont give up... I thot by accepting the "free gift", he would leave me alone. But hell no. He kept making small talks, so i entertained him lorz, since my bus wasnt here yet... *shakez head*
Reached home, played MJ cards wif mum, before I went out again to meet xiang, tiong, celes, minmin n lin...
As usual, they were late, and the punctual ones were me n xiang... *haiz*
Poor lin, hafta wait for us all alone at The Cathy for 1.5 hours... *sheepish grinz*
Had dinner at MOS burger... *yumz* Being forced to watch Lin's dance performance video from her DC... *hahaz* This made me wanna own a DC so muchie more!! So envious of them having DC... I swear I'm gg to get it tmr.
We then walked ard aimlessly, and traditionally, we were stuck in a corner, deciding where to go n wad to do next... *hahaz*
In the end, we went down to Clarke Quay to chill...
Saw the G-Max, and they wanna try it. My gosh, I wasnt even mentally prepared for it lorz! We walked near to see if celes's friend's working (if yes, we can play for free!) But thankfully, he's not working... so we dint play. But juz standing firm on the ground n watching the daredevils being shot up to the sky was freaking scary enough... The game's definitely not for the faint-hearted, like me. *hahaz*
Walked ard aimlessly again, finally ending up at Starbucks... *hahahz*
Slacked for some time, and then went home.
Wad an "exciting" life I have...
*diaoz*

Appointment Briefing @ MOE + Most Ugly Patient 2007

Hate to take MRT in the morning... Super-duper powerfully crowded... Can you imagine I hafta stand from PASIR RIS all the way to Tanjong Pagar?? Pasir ris lehz! It's the end of the eastwest route, and yet I can't even get a single seat??!!! Apparently residents from Tampines n Simei took the train down to MY Pasir Ris to ensure they've got seats for themselves... *rolled eyes* Wad a waste of time n space.
Finally got a chance to rest my tired feet @ Tanjong Pagar... but *boom* it's Buona Vista in a flash... Suddenly ALOT of ppl alighted, and I thought for a minute they might be gg to the same place as me, attending the same briefing... Well, some do, coz I saw them at the Edutorium later...
Aniwae, think my suay luck is flying above me and staying there temporarily for the morning...
When i reached MOE, I suddenly realised tat I dint have the important declaration form tat was to be submitted...
NO, I dint lost it or forgotten to bring...
I mailed it back to MOE, when I'm supposed to bring it down personally n hand to the personnel on the spot... *diaoz*
So can you imagine how panicky I get coz apparently EVERYONE present has his/her form wif them... Guess I'm the only one who's silly n stupid enough to mail it... *shakez head* How blur can I get???
So I informed dis auntie, dressed in a black suit, very ugly, wif short perm hair n grumpy face...
She asked for my name, and I gave her. She searched for my folder. She can't find it. She threw her temper at me. She directed me (impatiently!) to another person who's got my folder...
DAMN her. Early in the morning mood so bad... And not to mention it's so freaking pai seh okie! Coz when i went up to the correct person who's got my folder, she told me I dint fill up my declaration form properly... *shit* And so, there I was, standing in the middle of the place, searching for my pen (they freaking DUN haf any pens to offer) in my bag while everyone else was going into the Edutorium...
Once I'm done, I handed the form back to the lady, but I was told to go back to the end of the queue and lined up again... *super diaoz*
Wad a start in the morning, huh??
After the administrative matters were settled, I entered into the Edutorium, and the appointment briefing began...
It was rather boring lahz hor, coz it's very dry... Talk mostly abt renumeration, medical benefits, leave n blah blah blah by a super short auntie whom I can't see her face throughout the PPT presentation coz she's not tall enuf for the podium... *hahaz*
Then we were called up one by one to the stage to hand back the forms if we accepted the appointment, and to book a medical examination date...
All these took ard 2 hours...
After which, I returned back to work... *hahaz* I'm so hardworking rite??? No choice lahz hor... I need the money to fulfil my needs... *hehehz* So many things to buy, so little money... HOW???
My CE was soooo grateful tat I returned to work... she's realli appreciative of my effort okie... kept saying thanks lehz, jacelyn! *hahaz*
Oh ya! I forgot to mention an incident earlier... This incident left all the frontline service crew badly shaken up, and the 2nd deputy director of the clinic to call for a clinic meeting for all the staff, including us & doctors & nurses... So you can imagine how serious tat was...
Actually, wad happened can be avoided, if the patient is nice n understanding...
But the world is not always full of such wonderful ppl coz there's bound to be some who spoils everything...
On Tuesday, Mother Illness fell upon many ppl, who decided to patron our clinic n caused patients overflow, doctors overwork, clinic overcrowded, and us, overstressed... Therefore, we had to close the issuing of Q numbers @ ard 11am... Which means patients who came in after 11am gets the afternoon number for consultation... Which means they hafta wait until 1.30pm to start the afternoon registration...
Obviously, this was unacceptable to some coz they, being inflexible in the head, die die wanna see the doctor becoz our clinic's operation hours is until 12.30pm, and they argued tat they were in time for consultation... Although we explained til our throats are sore, they still dun understand...
One Indian-Muslim guy took it over-personally, and began shouting til the ppl at Level 3 can hear his shitty voice... He even barged into our office to demand for our CEs... Coz he's a hell of a tall n strong n big-built man (full of fats lahz hor, I can't see any muscles on him), we were quite frightened he might do something dangerous to us...
"WHERE'S YOUR MANAGER?! HOW COME SO EARLY CLOSE NUMBER? WHY I CAN'T SEE DOCTOR NOW? IT'S STILL SO EARLY! ARE YOU ALL SKIVING??"
We tried to explain to him the situation: too many patients n doctors can't handle, so he has to wait til noon.
"I DUN CARE. CLINIC OVERCROWDED, TAT'S UR BUSINESS, NOT MINE! MY SISTER WANTS A DOCTOR NOW! IF SHE DIES, CAN ANYONE OF YOU BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES??!!!! AND WAD ARE THE DOCTORS DOING?? GOING FOR EARLY LUNCH IZZIT??????"
Mind you, I think his sister is only having a cough.
And he's making a hell of a big scene... Looks like he's ready to do some serious boxing or sth... We called in the Cisco security guard...
"CALL POLICE? YOU THINK I SCARE AR? SHOOT ME WIF THE GUN IF YOU DARE LAHZ!!!"
Can you imagine his nerves?? How dare he?
Crazy continued to yell harsh words at the CEs for the next 15 mins or so... Poor CEs, trying to pacify him... And we were inside the office, cursing n swearing at Crazy, hoping against hope tat CEs stand firm n say no to Crazy...
But expected lahz hor, they gave in to Crazy... He was registered, and he was given his regular doctor (he's a regular patient)... Pui. Pui. Pui.
I can't believe we gave in to such ppl... If there's Once, there are bound to be Twice, Thrice n so on... Worse is when other patients follow suit... Monkey see, money do... Hao de bu xue, huai de xue... you know???
*haiz*
Crazy tops my list for the Most Ugly Patient 2007... Ugly not in the sense of ugly appearance, but ugly attitude/behaviour/conduct... But he's equally ugly in terms of looks lahz hor... so it makes no difference.
Den today, I met Crazy No. 2.
I registered dis guy, who looks quite friendly... but in a moment, I realised tat looks ARE deceiving...
"Hi, sir, here to see a doctor today?"
"Den? Come here not see doctor see who?"
Pls lahz, I know my qns sounds stupid, but it's my job to ask tat coz different ppl come clinic wif different reasons, okie dokie?
Aniwae, I faster registered him, but then his record showed an outstanding bill of $20.20, and it's MY job to inform him abt dis...
"Sir, you have an outstanding bill of..."
"NO NO! GET YOUR HEAD HERE! I'VE EXPLAINED ENOUGH! EIGHT TIMES I CAME HERE AND I HAD TO EXPLAIN EIGHT TIMES, AND YOU STILL ASK ME TO PAY? GET YOUR HEAD HERE NOW!!! I WANT TO SPEAK TO HER!!!!"
(Sorrie lahz hor, my head is already looking at you.)
My colleagues all got a shock... I looked at my shifu for help... She tried to explain to him it's the fees for his injections, but he refused to open his stinking ears to hear her out, and kept demanding to see CE...
But CEs not ard.
Den my shifu asked me to faster register him n send him up...
*haiz*
Wu yuan wu gu (for no reason) get shouted at... My shifu n colleagues were all cursing n swearing after he was gone...
Tat's part n parcel of my job at the clinic... Hafta deal wif these uneducated ppl all the time... But I'd admit there's some veri veri nice ppl out dere... but the ratio of good:evil is like 1:2... Being evil is taking on a toll over Singaporeans + Gurkhas (Nepalese)...
WHY?? Why can't everyone be as nice as me? As patient as me? As friendly as me? As understanding as me? I dun think it's tat hard, you know???
*shakez head*
*********************
Random pics:
Breakfast Break activity: drink Milo n take pics! I dint manage to take lots of pics becoz there's always someone in the pantry during break time... these were taken unknowingly... So fun.

Thot i could finally get a decent rest at home and accompany BeBe...
But nope.
Mum chio me to go Aunt Theresa's house to see her play MJ.

But i went anyway... the power/temptation of MJ is simply too much to resist! Altho I dint play lah hor... coz all of them are experts... The way they washed the tiles, set up as many tais as possible is so WOW! I thot i'm quite good le, but hell no, they are so much better... *hahaz*
I sat next to me mum n observed her... And i dun understand the way she's playing... So chiminology... And their speed is so fast... Not to mention their bets... so damn high... At the end of the 8-hour game, me mum lost ard 70 bucks (2nd loser of the day) *hahaz* I felt so xin tong for her, but guess wad she said?
"Aiyah, it's nothing lahz... suan hen shao le!"
*shakez head*
She's rich lahz hor, wad can i say?? I felt xin tong oso becoz tat day we went shopping, and she bought some makeup for me, totalling $60... *hahaz* Wad a nice mother she is... Guess she's trying to make up for not believing my ability to get into uni... *grinz*
Aniwae, Aunt Theresa's 7 yr old son, who is my little cousin, is so fortunate lorz!
His mum juz bought him a $5000++ upright piano for him to practise, but he's being reluctant to play a piece for us... *haiz*
His mum OSO bought him the latest PSP, ard $400++, not to mention lots of PC games and wad's-not...
*shakez head in an envious way*
I mean, he's juz a Primary One kid, and he has owned so many things i've longed for in my entire life... *hahaz* Guess he's the only child, tat's why he's so pampered...
BUT he's not a spoilt brat, not like some I know... You know who you are. *winkz*
By the way, I wanna complain something abt TAXI DRIVERS... yes, again!
As we were both super tired from a day of MJ, we decided to take cab home...
It's ard 8+pm... so it wasnt tat difficult to hail one at this time, rite?
WRONG!
We spent nearly 30 mins waiting for a stupid cab! WTH.
There are 3-4 cabs wif the blue/green light flashing, which means they are free to pick up passengers... We flagged n flagged, but none wanna stop for us...
??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wad now? U choosing passengers to earn money ar? C'mon lor! It's such a rarity tat me mum wanna take cab okie, and u still refuse to take us???
SO NOT FAIR!
AND not to mention tat the surroundings are full of factories/office buildings, which means there's lots of Banglas, Da Lu Zais n Thais walking ard (my aunt's place @ Kaki Bukit) and it's nighttime somemore...
YOU KNOW HOW MANY CHEE KO FOREIGN WORKERS LOOK N SMILE AT US LECHEROUSLY DURING THE WAIT FOR A STUPID CAB???
It's so freaking dangerous... Luckily I'm there wif my mum...
But on second thought, if she's alone I'd think she'd take a bus... It's me who insisted on taking cab lah horz... *pai seh grinz*
Aniwae, tat's not the zhong dian. The zhong dian is, WHY ARE TAXI DRIVERS CHOOSING CUSTOMERS??? It's so obvious tat they are free to pick up passengers, and it's so freaking obvious tat they dint try to stop down, in case some of you are wondering maybe there wasnt time for them to brake n blah blah blah... *rolled eyes*
Even though we still caught a cab later, I'm still veri angry.
MONDAY (16/4)
Monday blues was so happening to all of us at the clinic...
Dunno why, but we were all veri sianz during registration... This led to slower rate of doing things, which resulted in slower moving queues, which caused certain unhappiness among some patients... *haiz*
Met up wif minmin to go shopping at Bugis after work...
Decided to call tiong along after we met up coz we thought the more ppl the merrier... So while waiting for the No-Time-Management guy, we shopped ard, and i managed to buy the black shoes tat i've been looking for at Bugis Street... so happie... *ha*
But minmin got the most shou huos... comics, jeans n shades... *hahaz*
When we FINALLY saw the Late King, minmin n I were starving... Had dinner at the cafe @ Bugis Street... Nice.
BUT we were clueless of where to go next... as usual lahz hor, we were contemplating wad to do, where else to go, etc... See? We are leading a no-life life... So fun.
In the end I suggested gg to Sim Lim Square to check out my DC... Yay, at least got one activity to do. *rolled eyes*
I heard there are some shops at SLS tat are blacklisted becoz of the quality/price of their products... izzit true??
Coz I went into one shop called Merdeka and asked the uncle the price of Canon Digital Ixus 70... They are selling it at $448 wif a free 2GB memory card...
It's so so so damn cheap lor! Everywhere outside is selling tat DC at $529... how come he can offer such a cheap price?? Something fishy?? *hmmmz*
Aniwae, my shifu's nephew's working at SLS too... she's gg to get him to give me a good price if I want... Of course I want lahz! *hahaz* So tat settles it... I hafta wait for her nephew to get back from Bangkok b4 she can check for me further... Which means I hafta wait for another week... *haiz* You know I'm a veri impatient person when it comes to buying the things I want... Call me spontaneous, but if i want a thing veri veri much, I want it right away. I mean, immediately. Straight away. I cannot wait de lah horz. *hahaz*
Okie, one activity down, and we were left wif the usual practice: "So how? Where to go next?" this sort of thing... *hahaz* Typical us.
Dunno who suggested to go Starbucks for a cuppa, and so we went...
Saw a friend of my friend there... think her name's Jingyan, and we chatted for a while...
After chilling at Starbucks, I called it a day... Was so sleepy, and it's only 10+pm... Amazing...
So, it's Home-Sweet-Home...
And the next day begins its same routine again...
Urgh.

A-C-C-E-P-T-E-D again!

Aiyoh!
Can't can't can't believe my luck.
Just as I have made up my mind to take up the NUS offer, I got another letter from NTU dis morning...
Guess wad, guess wad??
They're offering me the Bachelor of Arts (Edu.) (Secondary) programme!!!!!!!!
??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dint I fail the MOE interview almost one month ago?? I honestly, seriously, swearingly thot so, you know... Especially after I told ppl abt the conversation during the interview, and they also dun think I can make it... *hahaz*
It's realli amazing, tat's all I can say... Or should I say, GYM's powers are REALLI amazing...
Aniwae, as I was saying, when I saw the letter, I felt vexed, kind of in a dilemma...
I have already made up my mind to accept NUS offer, and even dream of gg skol wif XY n taking same modules wif her in the future, coz i thought NTU's not gg to offer me any place anymore, but guess wad, guess wad??
Life is so unpredictable.
Even my mum also dun believe I'm so highly sought after... *hahaz*
She's realli, realli amazed, and even confirmed wif me three times whether I'm reading the letter correctly... Tat's in the morning, and now while i'm blogging this, she still came into my room and ask me again if there's any mistakes... *hahaz* Wad a mother she is being, so not trusting her daughter's abilities... *hahaz*
Aniwae, I was caught in between becoz I have interests in both courses... but truth be told, it's wiser n better to choose the teaching course coz at least my future will be secured, unlike A&SS, with vague career prospects...
So after much consideration...
NIE, you won my heart!!!!!
*hahahaz*
And yes, hydi, I saw ur blog... if you r reading dis, tks for ur congrats! I suppose u got the news from leslie... I knew he has a big gap on his face which he simply can't close it for GYM's sake... *hahaz*
And leslie, if u r reading dis, tks for "helping" me spread the good news to the world... *winkz* We shall all meet up for another MJ session, okie dokie?? And if u STILL havent pick up the skills, dun worrie, I can teach u patiently, den I can show off my teaching experience to the MOE in future... *grinz*
Okie, enuf abt dis, lemme talk abt work today...
My shifu veri *hiao* lehz... she asked me if we wanna call for KFC delivery for lunch coz she too lazy to go out n buy... *hahaz* Initially, only 3 ppl were in, later, more n more ppl got wind of the news, and started placing their orders wif my shifu... poor her, she has to coordinate everything nicely, and making sure nobody's order was left out...
In the end, 2 ppl's orders were left out coz the stupid operator didnt key in their orders... So imagine my shifu's anger when she saw the invoice... she took it out on the delivery man, who is so innocent in this whole incident... Den she went to call the KFC ppl and another operator answered the phone... My shifu was SOOO fierce over the phone tat she demanded another delivery (FOC) to be made within 30 mins (coz oni 1 hr lunch time)...
KFC realli did tat, and they even gave us a large coleslaw free as a form of apology...
Although everyone had their food at the end of lunch, my shifu still insists on sending feedback to KFC... looks like she's determined to get the operator sack or something... everyone's telling her to forget abt it, but she juz wont budge... *hahaz* Never offend dis lady, never.

***

Met one chinese auntie today... from the look of her face, I thot she's Mandarin speaking coz she has such a chinna face... So i talked to her in Mandarin lorz... and guess wad she said (in a arrogant n irritated tone somemore!):

"PLS talk to me in English! Dun talk to me in Mandarin coz I dun understand!"
Wah lau, pai seh lor *sarcastically*! Who ask u to have such a chee-na face + chee-na name??
*diaoz* Some ppl are realli too much... *shakez head*
And horz, today I made an announcement to the whole clinic lehz... *hahaz* I have to speak through the mic n everything... so fun... but i muz control my ticklish sensation to laugh coz dis is no joking matter... even ppl in the toilet can hear my sexy voice... everyone says my voice veri firm n clear... *shy grinz*
Okie, i guess tat's all I hafta share for today...
Enjoy the weekend, peeps!
=)

A-C-C-E-P-T-E-D

Whoopie!
I've finally received THE letter from NUS... *clapz + cheers*
It's the best news ever... well, for the moment at least... *hehehz*
Dis morning I got up, feeling grumpy coz I was soooo tired! After bathing, me mum had woken up n told me she saw a NUS package addressed to me...
I was so excited tat I dashed right into the living room without combing my hair, my mind whirling dis hope: Am I accepted??? (repeat 10 times)
AND YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!! *wide grinz*
NUS offers me my veri first choice: Arts n Social Sciences... yay!!
I was so damn happie tat i kept jumping up n down...
BUT den my mum was being skeptical coz she found it hard to believe it... *rolled eyes*
"Are you sure u are accepted? Why the letter so thin?"
Den i gave her the *diaoz* look...
"Obviously lahz! See? 'Congratulations! It is my pleasure to offer you admission to the National University of Singapore blah blah blah...' Dang ran shi zhen de lor!"
She still gave me the unbelieveable look...
"Maybe lorz... English knows me, but i dunno him. *pause for a few seconds* Are you SURE you not bluffing me?"
I ignored her. Can't be bothered to explain more. Totally 'high' at the moment...
I reread the letters, making sure my eyes arent playing tricks wif me...
*hahaz*
YES peeps, I made it!
Thanks GYM, I lurve you! *grinz*
It was such a great start to the day... I told mum tat even if I meet any unreasonable or rude patients, I'll still smile at them and serve them to the best of my ability... *wahahahz*
I lived to my words, okie...
Although the number of patients hit a whooping 100+, I'm still all smiley... *lolz*
BUT i'll admit tat I lost my temper on one or two patients coz they were simply being spastic.
My shifu was amazed... I told her this good news the moment I stepped into the office... She's so happie for me... By lunch, think almost everyone knew abt my xi shi n started congratulating me... *hahaz* Abit pai seh, but still veri happie... *grinz*
*happie sighz* Finally the weight can be lifted off my shoulders now tat it has happened...
BUT den horz, I realised the cons of dis news...
Dis means tat i muz start saving my salaries and not anyhow spend them le...
Which means I have to forgo my DC... *sob sob* So the side effect involves some opportunity costs... *sianz*

Let my poppa or mamma strike 4D or Toto la, den everything can be solved... *hehehz*

Nevertheless, I'm still happie sha la la...

Farking Stressed!!!

Damn farking stressed today... Damn all the incorrigible patients... Damn you all...
*shakez fists*
You are here to see a doctor, therefore you have to go through a process call registration, which means tat u hafta wait for ur farking q number before WE can register you... How many times muz I repeat myself, idiots?? And it's not like dis is your maiden visit to the clinic... you have been seeing polyclinic doctors for the past decades of your life, and yet u still wanna act blur as though u were juz born yesterday, and dint know the rules and all??
Fark off.
Especially to the lady who brought her elderly father along today. She actually lied through her thick face okie! First, she took the X number, which is meant for elderly of 80 yrs old n above + newborn babies so they dun hafta wait as they fall under the Priority category...
This spastic woman took the X number even though her dad's only 72 yrs old... So i open one eye close one eye n register her coz she's being polite and all... I even gave her the doctor wif the least no. of patients okie!! And off she went, but who knows, after 30 mins or so, she came back down n charged rite to my counter, demanding me to change her to another doctor...
Farker: "Why is there no doctor in the room? I've been waiting for so long already!"
Me: "Can't be, miss. There should be a doctor in the room. He's seeing patients for the whole day..."
Farker: "No! I went into the room and there's no doctor there! I dun care... u help me change to another doctor...other ppl finish earlier than us already...!" *yadda yadda*
And so I argued wif her, explaining tat we cant juz change tat... even my colleagues jumped in n helped me to explain to her... But no use.
Farker Arsehole insisted on her idiotic way. And she got it.
In the end, we found out tat she's a fucking big liar.
There IS a doctor in the room, and she IS going to be the next patient...
WTF!! Since you've already been waiting for 30 mins, wad's another 10mins to you??? If you can't wait, for GYM's sake, go to a private GP lahz! Why come to polyclinic??
Human nature, tat's all i can say... All trying to take advantage of the system, but dun wanna abide to it... *shakez head* I totally despise Farker Arsehole.
And wait... it seems like there's more Farker Arseholes living in the world, competing wif us for natural resources like air, and wasting MY time n saliva.
I registered dis 23 yr old guy, NUS medical student, who i named Irritant.
He requested for Doctor A who holds the 2nd highest position in the whole clinic... But too bad he's not seeing patients for the day, although he's in his room... So i explained to Irritant... but dunno why he's being SOOO damn farking insistent on seeing him... My throat got hoarse from all the explaining, and he still dint get it. Finally, he left me wif no choice but to call Doc A. But too bad again, nobody answered the phone... Den Irritant requested for Doctor B, the 3rd most important person in the clinic, who juz so happened tat she's seeing only special cases for today... AGAIN, I explained repeatedly to him coz he dint wanna accept the fact tat he's damn farking suay...
In my heart I was thinking... C'mon la... You r a NUS student... studying medicine somemore...
WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE FARK TAT I'M SAYING?? WHY CAN'T YOU JUZ ACCEPT THE FACT TAT YOU ARE A SUAY TA POR???
Any doctor can save ur life... why insist on seeing the two of them??? NUS medical student, rite? Then go n cure urself lah, idiot!
Since he dint get his two favourite doctors, he REQUESTED yet again for Doctor C, another senior doctor (dis guy realli knows a thing or two abt the clinic)...
Finally Lady Luck flew past him n ME as well... Doc C is ard... so i gave Irritant the number, thinking and cheering in my mind tat he's finally leaving...
BUT wait, tat's not all...
He showed me his blood donor card. Usually, blood donors have a green piece of medical benefit card, which entitles them to a Priority number n subsidised fees... BUT his card is juz a normal one stating he is a blood donor... So obviously he isnt entitled to any medical benefit, rite??
BUT farking Irritant juz dun understand.
Irritant: "You can check ur system and see whether Health Promotion Board has my record."
Me: "Sorry, sir, but our system doesnt link wif HPB, you'll hafta call them n check urself..."
Irritant: "I dun think so, I think should haf a record, can't you juz help me call them n ask?"
My shifu overheard dis and purposely ask loudly to my other colleague: "So-and-so, do we have such service whereby we call n check for patients over such matters?"
"No, we don't."
Me: "Ya, sorry, sir, you'll juz have to call them n ask YOURSELF." *emphasise on the last word*
AGAIN, Irritant argued why he's a blood donor and yet he's not entitled to any medical benefit...
How the fark would I know?? Juz bloody ask the HPB ppl lahz! It's not like you dunno how to speak English... and mind you, he's a slang guy okie. NUS student.
FINALLY, after abt 15mins of slanging his accent wif me, he reluctantly got up and left. He's lucky he left b4 I dash outside n knock his farking head against the wall + slap his face up down left n rite...
Realli lehz, think my years will shorten if I hafta serve such ppl again... It's hard for me to explain to you how I suffer under the hands of such ppl... *shakez head* If it's not for the money and my Canon Digital Ixus 70 and Forever 21, I would resign right away...
My life is so miserable when such nonsense ppl enter it...
My life is even more miserable when I got home and my mum told me BeBe lau sai + vomit earlier...
My heart broke into million pieces arhz... Poor BeBe... she looks so sianz n tired, and she hasnt eaten anything for the day... So unlike her... Guess she's realli sick le... *worried look*
But she still came out n greeted me when i got back lehz... Oh my darling BeBe... Muz get well soon okie?
*pray*

Patients, stomachache, digital camera

Oh man, dunno why there's suddenly SOOO many ppl falling sick today...
Clinic's damn packed wif hundreds of patients...
Yes, i'm not kidding or exaggerating...
Today's patients hit 300++, whereas yesterday was a record (so far, to me lahz) 400++...
Amazing rite... I cannot imagine how the ppl can wait for their turn patiently...
Well, some DO wait patiently, and they are veri polite n smiley, and den went off quietly without giving me any headaches... Sweet. Lurve these kind of patients...
AND obviously, there are oso nasty ones living in this world, consuming n wasting the earth's resources n energy, and bringing my blood pressure to a higher level... *haiz* And it seems tat there are more nasty ones out there... probably becoz nasty ppl get sick more often, so hafta visit the clinic frequently... Make sense, rite? *ha*
Die off lahz, nasty ppl... juz drop dead will you?? I'll gladly help u dial 995 n see you off in a black ambulance... so fun.
*********************
My dog shit luck knocked on me again... Suddenly got a VERI bad, seriously bad, horribly bad stomachache... It was only 9+ in the morning, the time when so many patients bombarded the clinic... So I bear wif the churning pain til 10+ ( 15 mins breakfast break) before i finally got the chance to visit the toilet... So my break was spent inside the cubicle, blasting away... It's shiok at the end, but i'd rather not haf it... I hate to haf stomachache outside, especially even so when i'm working... it realli spoils ur mood n makes u distracted... But thankfully, after the blast, I felt much better... *hehehz*
*********************
My goal: Canon Digital Ixus 70, S$529 promo price...

Nice rite... I dun care wad functions it has, as long as I can take pics wif it, and the design is sleek n coolz n sweet n fits my tai tai image, den can le...
Girls are lyktt rite... only interested in the design of the product... not like guys, who are more into the functions n yadda yadda...
BUT look at the price... it's worth my 2 weeks' pay, wif a little leftover... *tsk tsk*
Not matter wad, it will be MINE!!! *roar*
I dun see why i shouldnt buy it, since almost everybody from the planet owns a DC, rite?? AND i'm being nice okie... dint ask my dad to buy for me... I'm using my own hard-earned money, money tat i worked hard for it after serving soooo many nasty n stupid patients... so i deserve a treat okie dokie...
I'll make sure i get it b4 MayDay's concert... or even better, before my graduation ceremony... which is like only a few weeks away?? Therefore.......
Sim Lim, I'm coming, better watch out!
*fist out*

Gonggong's D.A

I thot today I can finally stayed at home n slacked, coz for the past two weeks, i've been outside, either working or shopping... Was feeling abit guilt for not spending quality time wif BeBe... *hahaz* But i think she's doing fine without me lahz... -_-" Getting fatter n fatter day by day... My heart almost failed me when i looked closely at her juz den... Can feel tat her neck is disappearing at an alarmingly rate... Guess she's still growing...? *sheepish grinz*
Aniwae, I woke up early to find me mum slogging away in the kitchen, and I knew today got occasion: My ah gong's death anniversary, so she's preparing all the food used as offerings for later on... She asked me if I wanna go... I was abit sianz so I kinda sa jiao to her n told her i dun feel like gg... she's cool wif it... But it's me dad who's not cool at all...
As soon as he got home, he asked me if i'm gg later... I was too engrossed wif The Amazing Race: All Star tat I dint reply him but juz shook my head...
DEN horz...
Lau Pa: "U not gg? But today's ah gong's ji re lehz..." *in a DISAPPOINTED tone*
Tat's it. When he uses tat kind of tone n talks to me, my stand will quaver n i'll surrender... It's like he's demanding tat i MUZ go, but he does it in a un-fierce manner, but he acts PITIFUL n somehow pleading me to go lyktt... So being a soft-hearted kind person, I went lorz...
SHIT.
SOOOO many ppl, or shld i say, sooooo many kids... *haiz* My head started pounding slightly the moment I stepped into my ah ma's hse...
Slacked ard a little coz hafta wait for all the adults to prepare ALL the offerings, which are REALLI A LOT: Bags n bags of food, paper money n other related stuff, one big carton full of NINETY baos (ba bao, char siew bao, cai bao) n etc... There were soooo many such bags tat over 10 ppl hafta help carry them down...
Over at the temple, it was HOT, HOT and HOT... veri crowded n smoky...
We picked one table and lay out all our stuff until there wasnt an inch of space left...
For our practice, we will file ourselves in a line, each holding joss sticks, and slowly made our way inside the temple where all the altars are placed... we look somewhat like a tu-tu train...
Saw my ah gong's altar... wanted to say a few words to him... but ppl behind me were kinda rushing me forward... *sighz* So I dint manage to say much...
Aniwae, tat temple is veri huge... got a section to house all the altars, and another humongous area for praying, which is at level two...
All of us went up dere coz it's much cooling n not as crowded...
Once i went in, I saw er shu n family kneeling in front of a monk, who's sitting on an antique bench, closing his eyes n chanting away in a foreign language, occasionally splashing "holy" water wif a bunch of joss sticks over their heads... And opposite, another relatives of mine also doing the same thing...
This was new... I dint encounter such practice the last time I was there... So i was quite excited when my dad wanna to be splashed with "holy" water too...
Together wif ah ma, we kneeled down in front of dis monk, held onto his long strands of ropes, closed our eyes, and he started to pray for us...
I was concentrating on his prayers altho I dun understand a single word he's chanting (i think it's Thai), coz I was hoping to feel sth extraordinary over me... But nahz... I almost fell asleep coz it took soooo long... Legs got numb from kneeling too long, can't even stand up after he's done...
Oh ya, I felt "holy" water dripping onto my head during the chanting... So tingling kinda feeling... But i felt blessed afterwards... Really.
Thot we could finally head back to ah ma's hse... but still the adults wanna slack ard abit longer... so me dad treated some of my little cousins to ice creams... If I were as young as them, I'd definitely grab a chocolate flavour first... but ever since somebody told me such cheap ice creams are not healthy coz of the cheapo ingredients put in to made them, I dint dare to eat ice creams, unless they are from Haagen Daz or Ben n Jerry... *hehehz* Call me a tai tai or health freak or wadever if u wan, i dun realli care...
Finally, it was time to go back n burn all the offerings...
U know those kind of big, dark brown metallic bins meant for burning paper offerings? We used TWO of them... can you imagine how much offerings we haf? I helped to open the paper money, and gosh, i bet there are hundreds of million dollars dere... AND imagine the amount of smoke we caused... It's like the forest caught fire or sth... It's amazing nobody called the red rhinos...
The smoke became too intense tat I had to take cover... Left the burning to the adults and some daredevil kids...
Stayed underneath the voiddeck, enjoying the occasional breeze, and taking photos wif 3 of my many little couz... *hahaz* They kept wanting to see n play wif my 7390... *shakez head* Was so worried tat one of them might juz snap my hp in half accidentally... Accidents are prone to happen whenever those kids are ard... *shudders*
Spent the rest of my free day at ah ma's hse... So sianz... Luckily got xiao shu... he opened up a bottle n share wif me... *licked lips* Sooo lucky XY not ard, if not my share will be lesser... *hehehz*
I drove home coz dad veri tired (so am I lorz!)... got nagged by him when I drove near to 80km/h... *haiz* I oni wanted to fetch us back to home-sweet-home faster... *innocent face*
Bebe went berserk upon seeing us back... guess she's all alone at home for the day, so she misses us! And the way she shows her affection is to jump on us, scratch us, and licked our hands n legs... *hahaz* so cute...
Okie, I'm damn tired now... muz zzzzzz le... Tmr hafta work...
And speaking of work, hope my cheque find its way home soon!!! I'm sooo damn broke!!!
Random pics I took today:
Aint I look like a tai tai?? *hehehz*
Typical Uncle: Black pants. Short-sleeved button shirt. Gold Rolex watch. Driving Mercedes.
The smoke shown here is juz small case... I took one wif the intense smoke... but becoz it's too smoky, it fogged my camera...
Tat's my 4th uncle's kids. From left clockwise: Jiajun, Jiamin, Jiahui n me! They realli look alike rite... and i like the uniformity of their names... Jiajun is soooo round n chubby n cute!! They are the rare few who behave like normal kids. At least they dun fight n scream n cry when they lose in a game or sth... *ha*

My Future: To be a Tai Tai

Yes, tat's right.
Tat's my destiny. My fate.
To be a totally n completely tai tai... *hahaz*
I think I was one in my previous life, and the one before, and the one before tat... tat's why I am who I am now... *blush*
BUT I still have a LONG LONG way to go to become a zhen zhen zheng zheng tai tai... *sighz*
FIRST, I have to study realli hard, get a decent degree, den work doubly hard, save triply harder, be financial stable first before i can self-proclaim as a tai tai...
By tai tai I'm referring to a woman who is capable of supporting herself financially (unless of course, she's lucky enough to find a weathly + loving man, young or old, to enter a lasting marriage together), has high taste, carries herself well wif poise n elegance, goes to private clinics/hospitals for regular check-ups, able to change her image as and when she likes without bothering abt others' opinions, not having to go through any interviews for the rest of her life so as to get approval from others, frequents Paragon every other day, flies to Paris, Milan, London, New York etc every now and then to build on her wardrobe, befriends LV, D&G, Coach, Gucci n Guess, and the list goes on...
Wad a nice n carefree life a tai tai leads... Ya, i'm dreaming an unrealistic dream... BUT SO WAD? You never know wad can happen in the future, rite?? *hehehz*
Aniwae, I think i'm living in a tai tai world now, although i'm like, on the verge of bankruptcy...
Ha.
Money NO enough lahz!!!
Why are there soooo many things tat I need to buy?? Why cant I ever be satisfied?
Hey! Isnt tat one of a tai tai's problems as well?? I believe most tai tais are always craving for more... more money, more bags, more money, more shoes, more money, more sex... Maybe I do have the makings to be one... Or maybe i'm already AM one... *wahahhaz* (To set the record straight, I DO NOT crave for more sex okie dokie? Dun wu hui me worz...)
Take today for example... I just bought some clothes the other day and I told myself, tat's enough... you have more than enough clothes to wear for the next, erm, few weeks...
BUT after cooping myself up at home for the past week, I realli had the urge to get out and do some serious shopping...
So when it comes to shopping, who else to call but my best shopping buddy? BUT den I remembered she needs to revise for her exams, so i dare not ask her along... So i made plans to go PP alone after work today, when i received her msg... So shock to hear from her... thot she'll be hibernating inside her room, burying her head in thick texts n drinking lots of expresso...
Nevertheless, I was glad I wont be a loner shopping on a Saturday afternoon... *cheers*
We met up @ PP, and the first thing we went was TOPSHOP... *hehehz*
I wasnt able to get anything from TOPSHOP the past previous dunno-how-many-times visits and I dunno why... BUT dis time, I manage to get a dress-blouse... So happie! *clapz*
Next: Dorothy Perkins... Got myself two blouses dere... "Masters, please!" and I saw my card slide down the machine once again...
Had a sumptuous lunch @ Sakae... Talked abt pre-marital sex... damn funnie... while telling me some sex story tat happened at NTU, XY got high n subconsciously, she was rocking back n forth on her butt... you shall imagine... *shy giggles*
The next stop: TM... Damn crowded... dunno why TM is ALWAYS full of ppl... where do they all come from??
Bought a Revlon liquid eyeliner... *hehehz* wad a vainpot I am... But aint all tai tais lyktt?? *grinz*
I know you muz be wondering... Aint i gg bankrupt soon? How come still got money n mood to shop like a crazy bitch?
*HA*
This is called spending "future" money... I've already sent my timesheets n hopefully, get my cheque back asap smoothly... you know wad kind of gou shi yun (dog shit luck) I haf... *shrugz*

One thing is for sure though... I know how to enjoy life...
Wad a talented taitai-to-be I am... *bow to the applause*

Bobby Bob

Hell. Can't stop thinking abt Bobby Bob. My whole mind is filled wif Bobby Bob. I can't even escape from him in my dreams...
How, how, how???!!!
Somebody tell me wad to do!
I'm hopeless, helpless n might be reckless if I can't take it any longer...
I wanted him so much! But i'm afraid things won't turn out the way I want them to be... It's so miserable... It's like, you long for something, and yet u dare not own it for fear of other factors, for instance, PARENTS, how others look at you, etc...
Bobby Bob, I really wanna be wif u... I feel tat if i could have u, my life will be different... It will no longer be so dull, so sianz... Instead it will be energetic, lively and each n every day of my life will be filled wif happiness...
BUT, juz like any other romance movies, dramas or novels, a loving couple cant be together without any obstacles in their relationship...MY parents are SO not encouraging of my decision to choose Bobby Bob... they dun see me happy wif him... they say i'll regret it for as long as i live for Bobby Bob doesnt suit me...
C'mon! Today's the 21st century okie! You can't control me! And who say he doesnt suit me when we havent even started out yet?
It's my life, and I own it. NOT you, him or her...
Tat's why, ppl, I've decided to.........
GET A BOB HAIRCUT!!! MY BOBBY BOB!!!
*wahahahahahahahah*
Did i get u thinking something else?? *cheeky grinz*
Yes, tat's rite... the legendary Bobby Bob is none other than a kind of hairstyle which i've LONGED for it for days... I kept thinking n considering to get short hair until my dreams became corrupted wif images of me wif short hair, which when I woke up, I can't rmb a single image... I'm so obsessed, rite...
BUT my mother dun let me do it. She says i look ugly n auntie wif short hair becoz I had a haircut when i was sec one, and it turned out horrible.. But only becoz I got it cut by an auntie wif no fashion sense at a neighbourhood salon... So obviously the outcome wasnt ideal... and i was only SEC ONE, for GYM's sake! Back then, i do not know how to da ban myself... but now it's a totally different thing...
THIS time, I decided to go Kimage, where the hairstylists dere are young n more fashionable...
For this mission-of-the-year, I've done LOADS of research online okie! For hours, I've been staring into my laptop until my eyes turn watery, browsing through sites after sites, hovering after fabulous pics of different types of bob hairstyles, saving relevant information and printing them out so i can refer to as and when i like...
So kua zhang rite... But i feel tat for me getting a short hairstyle (for short, i mean above shoulder, below chin) is like a rite of passage... I've always have long hair since dunno when, and recently, things r kinda getting sianz when i look into the mirror... Same pattern forever...
IT'S TIME FOR SOME CHANGES!
*keekee*
Below are some of the pictures i found online, which feature the kind of hairstyle I'm longing for...

Yes, it's Jessica Alba... Pretty prettie...

So waddaya think??

Should i go for it??

I took dis long ago... dint know my hair was lykt... but hey! I look okie rite... maybe wif more layering n professional help, Bobby Bob and I can be together happily ever after!!

Cheers! :)

Extreme Patients

Working in a healthcare service line, or other types of frontline services for tat matter, it's inevitable to meet all sorts of ppl from all walks of life...
My previous job at pop allowed me to see the true colours of aunties, mommies and kiddies, and although it's quite frustrating sometimes to serve such kiasu + kiasi customers, but it's also quite easy in the sense tat most of the customers at pop can speak english, and dey often do not need me to repeat myself when approached for enquiries...
HOWEVER, over at my current workplace, I deal wif LOADS of oldies, aunties n uncles, and even Banglas n Da Lu Meis/Zais who sometimes, sad to say, cant even understand siiiiimple english... Worst is I haf to REPEAT, REPLAY, REWIND wadever I have told them the procedure of seeing doctors every second, every minute, every hour, every day...
Some ppl are veri nice; they will smile at you, appreciate u for saving their life by first registering them, and basically just being polite n courteous, and understand everything tat i've told them, and do not need me to repeat myself all over again... These kind, I like to serve... For instance, I registered dis particular old but veri cute auntie... she's all smiles when she approached my counter and seemed veri grandmotherly, and she kept saying xie xie to me again n again, and just kept smiling at me... (maybe she's a little sort up there, but den again, it's nice to have patients being cheerful n friendly...)
If the world has super-duper nice ppl, den surely it has to contain certain ill-mannered, arrogant, incorrigible, unreasonable, uncouth, brash (i thank straitstimes for teaching me dis word) bastards n bitches...
These are two most extreme cases i've encountered so far, and it's boiling mad to juz think abt it...
Extreme Bastard 1:
This is another *ahem* tat strengthens my determination n will to be racist... He is so fucking rude n unbelieveable tat thank goodness for the glass panel at our counter, if not my colleague will surely give him a good tight slap across his shitty face...
But before I give u dis bastard's wilful behaviour, I need to educate u guys first...
Over at the clinic, it's the standard procedure to take a queue no FIRST, den wait for ur no. to be flashed on the screen n DEN we can register u for consultation... Period. Simple as tat.
So dis bastard, old enough to be a father (and he is one, mind u!) walked str to my colleague's counter beside mine, threw his newborn baby's health booklet at her, and demanded to see the doctor IMMEDIATELY. Like straight away. Like the doctor has to jump down to attend to him in 0.01 second.
My colleague, being veri nice n polite, told him to take the PRIORITY no. 1st b4 she can register his baby... and can I add? It's already a priority no., meaning tat he can skip all the rest n go first coz his baby is newborn...
BUT knew wad he said (or shouted, should i say?)
Bastard: "WAD NUMBER? KK TOLD ME I CAN JUZ COME AND SEE DOCTOR!!! WHY MUZ I WAIT? KK SAY I DUN HAF TO WAIT!!!"
(Obviously his english isnt dis fantastic, but it's not within my standard to write exactly how he spoke)
My colleague: "Sorry, sir. Please calm down first. It's our procedure to take a q number first. But u can take the priority no, and you can then come straight to me for registration..."
(But before she can finish her words, tat fucker began losing his mind, which i doubted he ever has one...)
Bastard: "WHY U DUN WANT TO DO FOR ME? MY BABY WANTS TO SEE A DOCTOR NOWWW!!!!!" Then he stormed off, went to another counter, and demanded the same thing...
But was rejected as well.
So no choice, he went to take a number, and dis time, one of my other colleagues suay suay called his number, and had to register him...
Bastard: "You good. Do for me. Not like those two. I want to complain her (pointing idiotically). I WANT HER NAME! I WANT TO SEE YOUR MANAGER!"
Wa lau, as if it's not enuf to create a scene n make a fool out of yourself in public...
But my colleague's a VERI tough woman... she wasnt scare or wadsoever. She gave him his name, and went in to call the CE out. Our CE, (a veri nice *ahem* lady lahz, one out of a million whom i dun despise coz she's educated) listened to him, and kindly led him the way upstairs to the nurse room...
So at level one, everything went back to normal after he's gone... but it's not the same story upstairs...
We found out tat the same bastard dint want to wait for his turn n wanted to go str inside the room...
????!!!!!
Come on lorz... it's not as though you are the only patient in the whole clinic... dere are others who haf been waiting for ages for their turn, and dere u are, barging into the room juz lyktt??? So fucking rude rite... CE tried to stop him, but too bad...
Den horz, it juz so happened tat dere's no one in the room coz the nurse went to toilet...
Guess wad he did?
Bastard: "WHERE'S THE NURSE??? WHY NOBODY?"
CE: "Oh, she went toilet, can you juz wait for a minute?"
Bastard: "THEN YOU GO TOILET AND CALL HER OUT NOW!"
Wa lau... You fucking stupid or common senseless or wad?? Nurses are human okie! You think u n ur baby are the only living human beings on earth ar? Wad's the big deal?? Can't you just wait for a moment? Will it kill you or ur baby? How I wish I had taken his pic n showed u guys how disgusting he looks...
CE: "Sir, how would you feel if you are in the toilet and I called you out like tat? And please do not RAISE your voice at me."
I dunno wad happened later, but apparently his big shot baby got the jab and he, his wife n baby left the clinic... but before he left, he actually loitered ard in front of our counters, staring at my colleague... WTF. He's behaving as though he wanted to fight her. But sorrie lorz, if the two of them realli fought, i think he'll lose totally coz my colleague veri big size, way bigger than him... not to mention the rest of us will charge out to help her, including the other waiting patients who are still strong enough to kick a few butts...
Unbelievable rite? My colleague's mood was veri affected by him... How would u feel if you were being yelled at lyktt for no reason at all? So suay, my shifu...
Extreme Bitch 2:
Dis happened last week, when i'm still new to the clinic, and unsure of the procedure there...
I called dis auntie, and she told me she had an appointment at 3.30pm, but she's here at 9 in the MORNING! Obviously I cant register her coz there's no way we can issue her appointment number... But being not veri sure, I asked my shifu for help...
My shifu's veri nice, explained slowly n painfully to her tat she has to come back in the afternoon for her appointment...
Den tat bitch started to get angry, and raised her voice a little... She claimed tat one of the nurses told her she can come in the morning blah blah blah... Who knows how true is tat?
Apparently there's miscommunication between both parties...
Attitude Bitch: "So how? Wad I do now? I'm a layman, I dunno how you all work... You advise me..."
Shifu: "Okie, madam, u can either go home and den come back in the afternoon, or if you dun want to go home, u can go eat something or shop ard first..."
Attitude Bitch: "GO HOME? YOU KNOW HOW TROUBLESOME I HAVE TO GET HERE...." yadda yadda...
Shifu: "Okie, if you dun want to go home, then up to you lorz..."
Upon hearing "up to you", the auntie flared up...
Attitude Bitch: "WAD UP TO ME? I'M A LAYMAN! I DUNNO WAD'S YOUR PROCEDURE LIKE! YOU TELL ME WAD TO DO!"
But my shifu already told her wad to do le, it's juz tat she dint want to listen to her advice only... If you dun wanna listen to her advice, wad can she say except for "up to you"?
The bitch demanded for a feedback form and my shifu's name... Being a tian bu pa, di bu pa woman, my shifu scribbled her name enormously across a piece of paper and gave it to her, and even showed her where to take the feedback form... *hahaz* Wad a woman.
Come on lahz, if you come to polyclinic to see doctor, please adhere to our rules n regulations, can??? You think your father owns the place izzit? Can do wadever u like? Pui.
Secondly, please be prepared to wait... It's like tat if you wanna take advantage of the cheap charges... If u can't afford to wait, go to private clinics lahz... *shakes head*
I would never realise how ppl can behave to such extremes until I've witnessed it myself... And it's gonna be two more months to witness more of such behaviours, I think...
Nevertheless, I think it's a good experience becoz I can learn how to deal wif such difficult freaks the next time...
If there's ever such a next time, tat is...

Singh & Smith

FINALLY ppl... I've survived tat horrible ordeal at SMU...
Actually, it's not TAT bad lahz... Lemme give u guys a play-by-play account (well, sort of)...
First up, I almost got lost in the skol... can't find the pathetic entrance... When I zhong yu found it, I got a fright by the automatic entrance barrier thingy... tat's fine... I remained composed still...
Took their high-tech looking lift n walked thru a few corridors (like a maze lorz!) when i turned into a lonely looking desk tat sat a young lad, whom i supposed is the 'receptionist'... He checked thru my documents and then said sth tat shocked me... "You didnt give us ur O Level results..."
WHAT??!!! I can't believe I dint. Luckily I've prepared a zapped copy of it... My second shock of the day... NVM, I still can ren shou...
He then led me to the waiting room, where a young looking meimei was already sitting inside... We smiled at each other and I sat beside her... The atmosphere in the room was so tense n quiet tat I realli could not bear it... So i broke the silence n decided to make small chats wif her... I found out tat she's from TPJC, dragon baby n couple of other things... It's quite nice to haf somebody to talk to when ur nervous... And i swear, it's damn nerve-wrecking waiting in the room... Like a pig waiting to be slaughtered kinda feeling...
My new friend then went in, leaving me all alone... But strangely enough, I wasnt as nervous as I had been initially... in fact, i was rather calm n composed... I even cam-whored in the room until another competitor came in... *hahaz* Aniwae, seconds ticked away n finally it's my turn...
Mr. Smith (honestly, i dunno his real name, but i like to call all Caucasians Smith...) came n called me in... He has a fatherly look n is veri polite n courteous... Aniwae, the interview room was a huge meeting room, and inside sat Singh (i haf no idea his name, but he's a babu, and every babu to me is Singh)...
The moment I sat down, Singh immediately surprised me wif his, erm, qnss...
Singh: "So! You're from Temasek Poly?"
Me: "Tat's correct."
Singh: "People branded TP as Singapore's Most Creative Poly. Tell me your views."
Me: "Oh really? I dint know, but tat's a compliment I think..." (and I realli forgot wad i said ltr on becoz my heart was pounding damn fast it's a miracle dey dint hear it)
So I yadda yadda wif no idea wad i'm talking, but hopefully it made sense to them. Hopefully.
Suddenly Singh dropped me another nuclear bomb:
"Imagine u r the BIG BOSS. U interviewed dis 2 guys for the manager position. One guy came in and told u tat he will turn the company into a big moneymaking business, and he will renovate the room wif bright colours, expensive carpets, high-tech stereo, and make everything as chic n nice as possible. Then another guy came in and said sth abt renovating the company to suit the fengshui n blah blah blah..."
At this moment, I totally blanked out...
HUH?! Why r u asking me all dis? Dis isnt a business interview, izzit? In my heart I was like, gone case... Gone n goner... Even Smith looked abit puzzled n shocked at him for posing such qns mark qns...
But i still tried my veri best to answer him... Again, I also forgotten exactly wad i said, but i rmb I told him I would take in the first guy... *hahaz*
Singh: "OK, tat's good..." (I was like, whew! he's gonna shut his mouth n let Smith do the interviewing next...)
Smith took over. He's more humane and asked me things tat i could actually understand n relate... I kinda expected some of the qns he posed, so I was able to answer them quite okie-ly... But he also asked sth tat surprised me... He wanted me to explain wad National Youth Achievement Award is all abt... *hahaz* Luckily I still rmb wad i did back then so i juz crapped wif him lorz...
*sighz* The interview went on n on... think ard 20 mins... So thankful tat it's finally over... Now I'm leaving it to fate n destiny n G.Y.M to see if I can make it...
Wad I can say is tat this time round, I performed better than tat freaking MOE interview... All thanks to Thaya... she enlightened me wif her wisdom n confidence... I hope SMU accepts her, really... she deserves it for all the effort she has put in for her interview, and she'll realli do well n make SMU proud... I knew it... *hahaz*
Taxi Drivers
Okie, enuf abt SMU... I kept forgetting to blog abt my two most, erm, memorable encounters wif taxi drivers so far... so yeah, here is it...
Juz last Friday I think, I took a cab from my workplace to Singpost to meet XY for another shopping spree... I dunno if I'm heng or suay... I waited for quite some time for a taxi but becoz it's their change-shift time, some were not willing to pick up passengers unless dey r gg the same way... So I'm heng in the sense tat i caught one and also, since it's a short distance, the fare is damn cheap...
BUT DEN HORZ... once I got into the cab, and my ass havent even warm the seat, the uncle started BURPING OUT LOUD OKIE!!!!!!! I know it's not illegal to burp, and sometimes it's even shiok to let out gas from ur stomach... BUT to burp so loudly in front of ur passenger who is confined in a small space wif u? Tat's totally DISGUSTING n BARBARIC...
And the worst thing?
He actually burped NON-STOP okie!
Wah lau... Can you imagine a person "ke-er" for 10 mins straight WITHOUT stopping? I swear, he's burping every single second in every minute tat it's unbelievable his stomach dint deflate completely... How can a person haf so muchie gas in his body???!!! Not to mention it's loud, and some of his burps actually lasted for more than 5 seconds... FIVE FREAKING SECONDS!!! *eeewwwwww!*
I held my breath until I felt my face turn purple... But how long can i go without air? I seriously dint want to open my nostrils to breathe in the poisonous gas given off by tat freaking uncle, but i cant help it... It's not worth to die by suffocating urself juz becoz of a disgusting fellow, rite? So I juz opened my nostrils a teeny-weeny bit to allow some air into my oesophagus... *diaoz*
I REALLI hate it if ppl burped RIGHT in front of me... It's veri rude, uncouth n sooo not elegant... Some of my frenz did tat, but wad can i say? Dey are my frenz, so i'll forgive them...
BUT tat freaking uncle?? HELL NO. Juz my luck for catching his cab... and letting him earn my $3.10... *shakez head*
*********************
After the MJ session at hydi's, I managed to flag a cab, and *shudders* dis is another problematic driver... But he's better than the previous one... at least he dint force me to smell his burps...
Dis one actually played hokkien songs VERI LOUDLY okie!
Wah lau... It's 2+am in the morning, and he's blasting away wif hokkien songs???!!! Luckily it's only a short distance, so I juz had to bear wif it for a few minutes...
But seriously, I swear, if a person listens to tat kinda volume for a long period, he'll surely damage his ear drums n go deaf... When I got out of his cab, I felt my eardrums pounding slightly...
WTF. I dint pay u to make me deaf okie!
Be more considerate lahz uncles! U r in the service line, pls think abt the consequences of ur actions can? I know driving taxis all day long is tiring n stressful, and u nid to do sth leisure to relax urself or wadsoever... but burping gas n blasting music so goddamn loudly isnt considered as leisure to others, okie dokie?
*shudders*

Growing Up is a Tiring Process

When I was a kid, I prayed n prayed everyday tat I could faster grow up and become an adult, so i could haf more freedom, wear nice n beautiful clothes, put on makeups, make money, etc...
I would always envy my aunt, who worked at Changi Airport during those days for being able to dress up n be pretty... *hahaz* I remembered when I was ard 2 yr old, I would put my tiny little feet into her high heels n walked ard the hse, pretending to be the next top model and refusing to return them and almost caused my aunt to be late for her work... *wahahaz*
I was constantly thinking about the good aspects of being a grown-up, but tat's wad an innocent n problem-free litte girl, with zilch ideas of the real world wadsoever, would fantasize...
BUT now, after living for almost 20 yrs in the world, I suddenly realised tat being a kid IS STILL THE BEST...
Altho u may argue tat i'm entitled to more freedom now, able to wear pretty clothes, put on makeup, or basically wadever I had fantasized back then had all came true... BUT I dint prayed for all the stressfulness, family n friendship problems, studies, work, ETC ETC ETC, so why did DEY all come true??
*haiz*
Tat's the price to pay for growing up, isnt it? *the devillish voice chuckled inside my head*
XY n I were juz discussing a few days ago abt the old days, when the two of us would stay over at our ah ma's hse during the weekends and juz play n play n play with no worries, unlike now...
It was so fun back then... I realli miss it, can i juz go back and live through it once more? Pretty pls?? *begs*
BUT I can't... Life still goes on...
Why am I suddenly so emotional over growing up issues?
*ha*
You could put all the blame on the freaking SMU interview tat i'm due for tmr, tat's why...
I got all emotional after talking to Thaya, a friend of mine from TP, who already went through her SMU interview...
I called her to know more about her interview, and she's realli nice... Told me wad had happened, and how she had prepared herself for it... I honestly think she has ACED the interview... My sixth sense is telling me tat her interviewers LURVE her to bits n pieces coz she was damn confident in herself, and even did her homework before gg for the interview, AND even dare to argue wif her interviewers in the sense tat both parties haf different views on some issues...
ME? I think i'll succumb easily to their horrible n demoralising questionings...
Which reminds me of the horrible MOE interview...
Aniwae, coming back, Thaya has given me a clearer picture of wad I will be going through tmr...
I'm juz hoping tat I dun suffer another nervous breakdown like the MOE's... BUT easier said than done... I heard SMU is more stressful, and the interviewers are ANG MOHS!!!
WTF.
Wad if I dun understand a freaking word of theirs due to their freaking accent?
Wad if I embarrass myself during the interview?
I know myself... Will get tongue-tied when i'm nervous...will er alot when i dunno wad to say...
And the interview is supposed to be "on-the-spot" kinda thing... Pls lorz, I think I'm rather slow in responding to ppl... How to make my brain tick faster? And i tend to say the wrong things at the wrong time... HOW?! HOW?! HOW??!!
Damn fucking stress now... I know it's juz an interview, and i'm not veri keen to study in SMU, but I still wanna try it out n gain the experience, juz so i can tell ppl next time tat SMU had interviewed me... *hahaz*
BUT a tiny part of me is telling me to forgo the interview and forget abt studying at SMU...
To go or not to go??
You see, tat's another thing about being a grown-up...
DECISIONS. You have to make decisions every now n then for every single little thing... At least a kid has parents or some other ppl to make decisions for them, they nid not worry so much coz those decisions made for them will ultimately be the best for them, and nth much can go wrong from daddy n mommy's decisions, rite? Right.
Wa lau... I can't imagine wad my children will be facing in the future if it's so stressful surviving in Spore now... Not to mention kids nowadays are studying harder, facing tougher competition, and being more materialistic n becoming brats...
WTH.
No point thinking so muchie into the future when I'm not even sure if i can survive tmr's ordeal...
PLS G.Y.M, I know i havent been to visit u lately, but can you pls pls pls bless me wif ur kindness n mercifulness so tat I can make it through tmr's interview... Although I know the possibility of me getting enrol in SMU is pretty much near zero, can at least give me strength so i can make some sense out of my mouth at a minimum...
BLESS ME!

Stung by a BUG!

GOD DAMN IT!
I'm super-duper chao ji wu di SUAY lorz!
Juz by lying on the sofa, relaxing myself n watching The Time Machine can get sting by a STUPID IDIOTIC DUNNO WAD-IT'S-CALLED BUG...
Dad says it's a 'pang' (hokkien for a kind of bee)...
BUT heck lahz... who cares wad it's called when its dunno wad stings SOOOO badly...
It's damn painful okie!
I'm proud to say tat I'm usually able to tolerate with pain... even if i go for facial and the beautician squeeze out my pimples n blackheads wif all her mighty might, I can still bear wif it... the Leonard Drake's beauticians were all amazed by my level of tolerance for pain okie...
BUT den horz... dis stupid 'bee' realli sux (btw, my dad ended its pathetic life after it stung me)...
First, it gave me a jumpstart when I suddenly felt sth dropped onto my hand while watching TV, and then second, it treated me wif its stinging sting...
The wound immediately got swollen within a minute or so, and seriously, i can feel my arm going abit numb... For a moment I got panicked n thot I was going to die of poison...
Momma faster helped me applied this qing cao you (brownish oilment tat is believed to be able to cure all sorts of wound, and obviously, to 'purify' the poison, if there's any)... tat's y my wound looks yellowish browny...
Can I repeat myself? It's damn painful okie!!!
The best part of dis was tat my doggie BeBe was the 1st to realise our hse has got dis intruder...
Usually she'll chase after it, trying to eat it or sth, but tonight, she dint. *shakez wif anger* In fact, she trotted away quickly, as though to put as much distance as possible between her n the 'bee'... In the end, I GOT STUNG! And I'm not freaking alone in the living room okie! Got so many other ppl, WHY DUN U GO KISS THEM STUPID PANG!
SO NOT FAIR!
But I oso cant help it if BeBe is this smart lahz... maybe animal instinct told her tat the 'bee' is not to be provoked, so she dint dare do anything to her...
So 'clever' rite my doggie...
After I got stung, my mood was abit bad coz besides the pain, I also got a jumpstart which resulted in a temporary shock status... So i scolded BeBe for not warning me against the danger tat's lurking ard... *hahaz* On 2nd thot, I realised tat BeBe cant actually communicate wif me, so there's no point in blaming her... *hehez*

I'm not sure if u can see it clearly, but it's swollen okie!
*********************

Another MJ session

Got a call from hydi ard 9pm asking me to go help leslie wif his mj skills... *haiz* Actually I dun wanna go de... So tired from a day's event... But MJ is so tempting me can... I can hear it calling me... so after much poloso-ing, I went... (Momma's face quite black coz she dint like me playing MJ so often, scare I got addicted to it, which I guess I'm pretty much already AM addicted!)

But heck lahz... After I got stung by tat 'bee' n thot for a moment tat I might drop dead from the 'kiss', I told myself to enjoy life while I can and while i'm young... Who knows wad'll happen the next minute?
