PMS

some things that really piss me off..

1. people asking me whether i am going here or there and then not telling me anything about the plans after that. if that is the case, then don't even bother asking me in the first place.

2. people telling me "let's go do this", or "let's go do that" or "i will do this" or "i will do that" and then nothing comes out of it. at least inform that it's not going to happen, or don't bother even mentioning it from the start, if nothing is going to happen. i hate to expect things and then sit around waiting for them to happen.

3. create your own story and facts..like say I SAID we are supposed to meet at 9 for dinner, when what i said was "who the hell wants to meet you for dinner?! and "who wants your dinner treat?!" (...and i said it on a THREE-WAY conversation, so there's proof) and then get pissed with me and show me a freaking black face when a whole bunch of us are hanging out together. first FACT: there was no such plan at all. second FACT: meeting at 9 and reaching at 1030 is being late for one and a half hours. try to remember the numerous times that i and the others have waited for you, for two-three hours (i can come up with a list, if needed). third FACT: if you were where you were supposed to be in the first place, maybe you will see the whole picture that we got hounded by the sales people for 2 blardee hours before we actually did half an hour of anything useful. fourth FACT: we said we will call when we ended because we don't know what time that would be, and we did...you refused to pick up..so go figure who is in the wrong if someone really has to be blamed. getting pissed is one thing, don't go on to say things like "if they want to explain they should call me a few more times"...don't start this counting rubbish, i am a million times better at it. if you want to show that you are pissed and walk off in a huff or whatever it was, it didn't affect who it was supposed to, because who you were pissed with wasn't even in the wrong. and if you want to be pissed, jolly well tell me the reason, don't show me your black face, i can make an even blacker face, and today is vesak day...i can go to the temple to see the hak-min san (black face god) if i really want to see one.

i wish i had more exciting things to do...

and very exciting things i did indeed....i attended the navy openhouse and went on a boatride -_-" ..haha..

the sun was scorching and i perspired like a fat pig until the perspiration started to sting! but the navy openhouse was pretty interesting coz i got to check out the insides of the ships. and most importantly, i went for a ride on a ship similar to the one that my someone works on. i got to check out the working environment and place where he works, eats and sleeps. not forgetting the very cubicle that he sends me all the morning smses from, while he craps....how romantic...NOT!

after spending 4 solid hours under the hot sun, and checking out almost every ship on display, i can proudly say that i still CANNOT differentiate one vessel from another. I also CANNOT differentiate the numerous types of missiles/torpedoes/weapons/equipments on each ship. However, i also know that i CAN fall asleep on a boat ride, and that the chances of me falling and injuring myself, if i were to ever work on one of these ships, is VERY high. once again... i am an ultimate loser...yay :(

while we were out at sea, we caught sight of the waterspout that was featured in the newspapers. it was just way cool...it's just one of those natural formations that all geography students wished they would witness in their life..haha..ok maybe just me. but honestly i was super amused, and i couldn't stop taking pictures of it. I managed to capture enough photos to document it's growth...woohoo!

see that ship in colour? that's the one my someone works on...at least i recognise it..haha..and see the one on the top left corner?it's the coolest ship in the entire navy. it's the frigade aka pornstar ship...go figure out why! anyway it is the newest ship in the navy, and it has everything on it...say...why am i promoting it?! wth...
there was just something about this barometer and the clock that caught my eye, and i had to take a picture of them. charles laughed at me because these were the only things in the entire ship that i took a picture of...very funny meh?
waterspout! waterspout! cool eh??

oh...FINALLY...after 22 plus years...i visited mt faber on saturday night. that's one place off the list of places in singapore that i have never been to. errr what do i think of mt faber? dark, hot and not very exciting. i was disappointed by the view that i got...or rather the lack of it.

some other places that i have to visit (again) this lifetime...

1. bukit timah hill
2. seletar reservoir
3. pulau ubin
4. the zoo (haven't been there since pri 1)
5. jurong bird park (haven't been there since pri 2)
6. singapore science centre (haven't been there since pri 6)
7. underwater world (haven't been there since kindergarten dunno what)

what other places are there to go to? name me a few...i'm sure i haven't been there...

pump-p-pump-p-pump..pump it up!

with hil's great recommendation, we checked out pump room, one fine friday night. we almost didn't make it there because we got a bit lazy...but with kunies "kao-beh-ing",we finally dragged out lazy asses down to clarke quay. and i'm pretty glad we did, because it's a pretty cool place :) so...thanks hil for the recommendation and thanks kun for kao-beh-ing..haha...

clarke quay is super amazing now. i haven't been there in a friggin long time, and i was amused by what i saw that night. the place was packed to the max, and there were a million new pubs which looked really nice. they all had cool themes and concepts. was particulary amused by the clinic because the drinks were served out of those bags that are used to contain drips in hospitals. then there was the restaurant with the morgue like entrance..err dunno what's the name, but that whole concept was just damn wrong. so blardee morbid...i sure wouldn't eat there...plus hil said it's expensive...haha..

we had supper at the satay club after that. not really worth the price that we paid. i think we were better off eatin macs. the milo-peng was HORRIBLE, the food was so-so and who the hell charges 18 bucks for 15 sticks of satay?! oh..not forgetting the negro fried kway teow, negro prata, negro dunno what...surely not racist.

pumproom's a pub/mini-club/microbrewery. types of beer available: pump room lager, bohemian lager, scottish ale, wheat ale and indian pale ale. most of them are pretty nice, except for the indian pale ale which tasted like rusty nails soaked in water *gag* they have live band, and when the band is not playing, they play rnb. what i like about the place....free entry...smoke free :)

there can ONLY be ONE beer for our kunies....INDIAN PALE ALE :

one more hour to the end of monday. can't wait! my eyes have started crossing and going out of focus since two hours ago..zzz..thank God for vesak day..haha! because i couldn't concentrate on my work, i decided to test my IQ level on this damn cool jigsaw puzzle (yet another one of those freebies that ppl wanna get rid of) that cindy gave me.

i have to say that this puzzle has once again proven that i am indeed,not one of the smartest ppl around :( i ended up with a shark that had it's tail missing and a big kosong in the middle of it's body. sob. then sheryl came along and put the whole damn thing together in 5 mins. BASKET! WHY OH WHY.. AM I A DUMB DUMB??? ...and no...i am not going to give anyone a gum gum...

the completed piece sitting on the ledge of my workstation. the tortoise was a gift from the interns who left on friday. look lg..told you i pinned your watermelon on my board!

a closer look at the damn shark...
some other boh liao stuff that we have been up to in the office. look at the things we have to do to prevent ourselves from going crazy..then again..maybe they are signs that we are crazy already *gulp*

Fortune Telling

Yay...3rd post of the day. To make up for the lack of posts in the past few months. Quite obvious that i have nothing to do at work today huh!

Lately, tons of people around me seem to have caught on to the whole fortune telling thing. As much as i want to get my fortune told, i do not possess the fortune to pay the fortune teller, to have my fortune told. Hence, i haven't gone to one. But (there's always a but, or many buts to a story)..about 2 weeks ago, i got to know hil's colleague, longan, who sort of knows how to read a person's palm. So here's what he deduced from reading my palm:

1. I seldom fall in love -- true
2. I don't really love my current boyfriend. I'm not satisfied with him, but I'm ok with being with him for the time being -- wtf. sensitive topic. cannot anyhow comment on this...haha...joking...SO NOT TRUE lor! *ahem*
3. There's someone out there for me, just that i am damn picky and choosy -- is it? what a lie. how to be picky and choosy when there aren't any choices to choose from?
4. I spend a lot of money -- true
5. I spend a lot of money but not on myself. I splurge on the ones i love and think it's worth it -- true
6. I am lucky because the money i spend is someone else's -- really? whose?...ok not at the moment at least....of course he meant in the future, after i get married..or maybe if i become someone's mistress...CHOY!
7. I do not seem to have much of a career -- wtf...there goes my dream of becoming a strong headed, independent career woman
8. I will be a tai tai in the future -- okay..at least that makes up for me not having a career.
9. the best comment he made, "everybody's palm depicts what the mind thinks, hence the lines on the palm change very often. judging from the vague lines on your palm..you do not use your brain much!" -- WTF!.. he then added.."what i meant was, in life, you follow your heart more than your mind".....that had better be what you actually meant! anyway this is not true...i super rationalise everything before doing it, or do i?

He then looked at my face and deduced that....

1. I am a kind hearted person -- why of course! even though i refuse to help people..
2. I am a soft hearted person, and whenever i watch sad movies i will cry -- wow...you can tell that from my face?? true though...

The other day when i accompanied my colleague to her fortune teller...her fortune teller looked at my face and said that in the future, i will have a good life. My children and grandchildren will be very successful people, and they will be very fillial to me.

Huat ah! I guess i can hand in my resignation letter now and just laze at home everyday since it seems like i will have a good life in the future.....yar right...back to work!

anyway out of point...but since all the xanga using people have that "currently listening to" thing at the bottom of their post, i must be kiasu and have it to.

Currently listening to: Backstreet Boys! I'm a fan of the BSB and proud of it!

Because I am a Singaporean...

Yesterday, as i was waiting for my sister to go home, i wandered around (the now very hip) Whitesands trying to kill half an hour. I finally concluded that i should go and pay my super overdue hp bill instead of emptying my bank account further. Boy, did i manage to kil half an hour. I had to wait 20 mins at the AXS machine, because infront of me was a 50plus yrs old uncle who did not quite understand how to operate the machine.

He was pretty good with the whole payment process until the part where he had to insert his atm card to pay his close to $3k credit card bill. He wanted to get a receipt from the machine, but he kept pressing the "eReceipt" button and it kept bringing him to the "Please enter your email address" screen, which he stared at for eternity, because he didn't know what the hell they were asking for. After he was done staring at the screen, he would bend down to the receipt dispenser to collect his print out, but of course nothing came out since it was supposed to be an eReceipt. Then he went back to staring at the screen which timed out, and went back to the payment screen again.

He repeated this entire process like 5 times before he finally turned around to ask me "Sorry, how come like that ah?". I replied, "Uncle, you never press pay. That's why there's no receipt. Anyway the button that you pressed won't give you a receipt" He then said, "ohhh...you mean i haven't paid? then how?"

So i stepped up and pressed the "Nets" button and told him to insert his atm card and pin, and then stepped back so that he wouldn't think that i was peeking at him keying in his pin. He then waited for damn long before some red message appeared and then the screen went back to the payment screen again. After repeating this new process three times, he turned around and asked me again " How come cannot ah?" I then asked him to try again, and i read the message that popped up and said, "Uncle, the daily limit of your atm card is lesser than the amount that you are trying to pay. You can only pay part of your bill." He then said, "Ohhh..." and continued to pay the entire $3k two more times before he turned around to say to me "Sorry, you go ahead...i pay another day"

I smiled at him and said ok but inside i was thinking "basket..why don't you pay part of it first...i'm sure you're gonna do this whole thing again tmr. bet you didn't get my explanation."

When i got home, i told my sister the entire story, and then she asked me..

sis: "how come you knew what was going on the entire time?"
me: "because i was peeking over his shoulder the entire time...haha!"
sis:" hahaha...you are so kaypo! then why you never help him earlier"

to which i gave the best answer on earth...

me:"because i am a Singaporean...I MIND MY OWN BUSINESS"
sis: "HHAHAHAHAHHAHA!! GOOD ONE!"

Not that i am proud of what i did, but there are just some times...no sorry...make that many times, when i can't be bothered to help people. I only help when asked to.

Other reasons why i never bother to be a good samaritan:

1. Many years ago, i gave up my seat on the bus to an old lady, but she said that she was alighting soon and told me to sit back down. When i turned around some fucker already sat in my seat. So i had to stand from bishan all the way back to pasir ris.
2. A few years later i gave up my seat to a mother who was carrying her daughter, who also refused to sit down, and once again another fucker rushed to sit in what was my seat. This time round i had to stand from clementi to pasir ris, and i was freaking tired because i was in school from like 9am to 6pm.
3. Today, i gave up my seat to an old lady, who SAT DOWN and smiled and said thank you, but i almost lost my balance and fell flat on my butt while trying to give up my seat to her, because the train jerked. At least she was nice and polite.
4. Once i picked up some stuff for this person who dropped her things on the floor and she didn't say thank you.
5. I have held the lift door for numerous people who have never thanked me...fuckers..their parents never teach them manners.
6. My friend tried to help a man who was having difficulty walking once and he started touching her hands...fucking pervert.
7. My sister was about to give up her seat to this mother with her daughter who just entered the train, when she overheard the mother saying to her daughter, "don't bother looking around la, like anyone will be so kind as yet as to give up their seat to us". So my sister planted her butt back on the chair and even grew roots on it, and was glad that she didn't stand up earlier.
8. I have given way to numerous drivers on the road who never thank me.
9. Oh the most classic...i met a pervert on the bus once and when i asked for help from the girl next to me, she gave me a nervous laughter and looked away, and the woman behind me just stared like as though she was watching some amusing movie.

So you see...instead of making an effort to be nice to the people around me, and receiving nothing in return, i might as well just not do anything.

If my dad gets wind of this...he will certainly embark on yet another one of his "Singapore will die in the future with youths like you"...

Happy M Day!

M day burnt a very big hole in our pauper pockets this year.

We had a buffet dinner at Park Royal Plaza - Vietnamese food (YUCKS!), Sashimi (YUMZ), all sorts of prata and a very disappointing choice of dessert.
We also bought our dear mumu mum (she gave herself that name..don't ask me why..) a mahjong table, a set of mahjong and her favourite kim soon dvd.

Anyhow..Happy Big M Day and we hope you had a great time this year mumu mum :)

one fine day when we decided to head to taboo to get pushed ard and trampled on by some very happy people :(

bitches and asses

i have really seen all sorts of people in this world, after having worked for 9 months. I must say that some of them are really downright assholes and bitches.

These past two days have been like freaking shit, talking to the world's biggest assholes and bitches.

assholes:

• conveniently push their work to whoever they can push it to.
• get pissed that people never do THEIR work.
• reprimand people and have the cheek to mention about how we are not being value-added to the company, when they are a complete waste of company resources themselves.

bitches:

• always thinking that their staff are in the wrong, instead of doubting other people.
• lousy bosses who don't know a single shit about shielding their own team members
• unreasonable *beeps* who don't even let you finish your sentence...and cut you off by saying " no ...no...no...no...."...no your motherfarking head la...
• calculative like hell - "my job does not require me to do this and that"...well neither is it in mine...but i am doing it, so i don't see why you have to be such a bitch.
• address ppl as "aye" ...fuck..i got no name ah? CHEEEBYE

why!? oh why?! do such fuckheads exist?! my only advice to them..."FUCK OFF AND DIE ,YOU USELESS BEINGS!"
