Confession

I have some sort of bad feelings towards many of my good friends, and it is bugging me.

BIG TIME.

For Renee (as well)

I think this is even more epic.

坦诚

I'm lucky to say that I have such a very good friend who would actually bear her feelings (good or bad) to me. Although some may not know that we're actually closer than most would think. It's amazing how she could tell me that she's rather pissed over certain things that I did, in a matter-of-fact way, which is good really.

How many friends actually do that?

Most of the time, we just keep this unhappiness within us and most probably, go whine to another friend. To term it very bluntly, we bad-mouth our friends. I confess that I'm guilty as-charged sometimes. But when we do voice out our unhappiness, how many of us could really take it in a positive light.

Usually we jump to full defence, geared in a chainmail, stout shield and shining sword outta the rock, ready to battle all the comments coming our way. Or we do the "long face" and "Silent Hill" approach. Worst, reply everything with "Ok".

So, it was really quite amazing when this friend actually pointed out something jerkass-ish that I did, making known that she was unhappy. And of course, at the receiving end, we should stop defending ourselves. Explain if you must, but please admit your mistakes (we do know deep down inside that it's our fault). Sometimes, there's no right or wrong (in this case, the fault is with me really). The fact is that you've done something to piss someone off. And for Pete's sake, not just anyone, the person is your friend!

So here's to our century-old friendship! Cheers! *clings champaign glass*

P/S: this friend is one of the first person I knew/talked to in TMS, IF you're guessing. And I'm guessing you are.

Prime Number

As of yesterday, I stepped into the age of a prime number. So I hope it'll be a prime year for me, for the upcoming 365 days.

Gracias to everyone for the wishes and presents.

• Loafers from E and ZW.
• Marvel Encyclopedia from YK.
• Guess watch from N, CYJ, AY, TYS and JW.
• The last-minute handsketched card and cake from NTUCO.
• The brownie + vanilla ice cream from the NIE classmates, and the marvelous Canele Tiramisu from YK and Z.

If I missed you out, it's either we haven't met up, or I hate you.

P/S: And this marks my 600th post.

Anxiety

I display strange behaviour when I'm anxious.

I clasp my hands together and hold them there.
I put my weight on my left leg.
I sway around like a guniang.
I clap like a chimpanzee.

Thoughts of Monday

Hello everybody. I know it irks you to see me again, but the feeling is kinda mutual. As much as you don't like me, or rather, the nature of my work, I do not like this task either. It doesn't pay when I get cursed every time I make an appearance, at the stroke of midnight. Oh I haven't introduced myself, have I?

My name is Monday.

Yes yes yes, make faces all you want. I know the sound of my name just flipped that egg prata that you just ate for dinner. Every time when I'm waiting just behind the curtains at Sunday's place at 2359HRS, I can hear you people cussing me. PLEASE LAH! You think I like this job is it???

It sucks big time. All this work and nobody appreciates you. It wasn't like that in the past you know. In my grand-grand-grand-grand daddy's time, we were proud days.

Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

SEEEE~

I don't get why you people keep thanking God for Friday. Seriously, I think Friday's such a bitch. When she comes visiting, everyone will switch to half-working mode and then I have to clear up all her shit on my shift. Sunday's quite poor thing too; he has to bear all your grumblings during the last 2 hour of his shift. Poor chap.

Thank goodness I don't have to work today. My best friends are days called Holidays.

小心眼

赫然记得以前一个朋友拿我宗教的名词来开玩笑。我跟他说“比丘尼” （女性出家众），他竟然跟我说bikini。天啊！还好当时Ris Low 还没爆红，不然我早就在他面前BOOMZ了。这种非恶意的嘲笑已经不是第一次了。当时没来得及作出反应，是在事后才耿耿于怀。

事情已经过了大概一年，这件事情一直久久没有从我脑海中散去。我估计这位朋友已经将这件不足挂齿的事情忘得一干二净了。我却向那只顽劣的猴子，手中一直紧紧抓着这件事情无法释怀，被那“空心椰子陷阱”困住。

过了那么久，我已经不再气这位朋友了（发现后还确实暗自生气了一下）。令我感到奇怪的事，为什么我那么放不下，一直惦记着这件事情，还一直秘密计划着以后他再出言不逊要如何处置他。

我真是一个小心眼的怪咖，难怪相由心生，眼睛小得不得了。

CO vs Choir

Homo Sapiens are really a contradictory bunch. And I regret to say that I fall under that class of living species. Although not as fickle minded as those of the other gender, I have to admit that I'm kinda like that too when it comes to life.

2 years of choir life in TPJC made me yearn to go back to orchestra, thinking that the splendour of playing in one is unrivaled. C'mon, everyone can sing and it's not that hard to sing. People don't get wow-ed when you know how to sing, but it seems people do get impressed when you can move your fingers at neck-breaking speed.

SOOOOO, I stupidly joined this supposedly-amateur-but-has-professional-standards orchestra, located at the armpit of Singapore, during my army days. I think it was a mistake to begin with.

Somehow, now I came to marvel and appreciate the fact that we are in fact the best instruments that nature (Sorry God, I'm not a big fan of you dude) created. Of course only if you are not tone-deaf and sound like a Banglah's drill-bit.

So, I guess it's the epilogue for my CO life, for this last 5 months to that stupid obligatory concert in January. Not that I'm gonna give it up totally, but it's not a major part of my life anymore. New pastures at the choir continent needs to be explored.

Given that the orchestra looks like it's on the verge of collapsing, and the fact I've been warmly invited by a friend to join a certain promising looking choir (not the one that cheated me of my membership fees, of course), I think the choice is obvious.

EDIT: CK might promptly comment that I'm jumping from one shit hole into another one. True, but at least the other one has less shit inside.

麻醉药

人类无时无刻都在麻醉自己。

我们
以饮食麻醉饥渴；
以睡眠麻醉疲惫；
以娱乐麻醉无聊；
以药剂麻醉病痛；
以知识麻醉愚昧。

还有人尝试
以工作麻醉空虚；
以运动麻醉孤独；
以朋友麻醉寂寞；
以笑容麻醉痛楚；
以勉强麻醉尴尬。

但是同样的是，当麻醉药效退去时，我们还是要忍着痛，硬着头皮继续

活。下。去。

WAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

After the episode of the crazy aunty who missed her flight in Hong Kong International Airport,

Maybe I should try this too.

but I feel like that...



:D

又来了～

一直告诉自己：“天下本无事，庸人自扰之 x1000”

但是不知道怎么的，像以前一样，还是有点...

的感觉。

Ris Low FTW!

I was freaking appalled when a friend, N-san, was mindlessly siding her like that crazy shithead who chairs the Speak Good Engrish Campaign. N said, who are we to judge that her English is bad? And he said that her not-impressive looks overshadow the fact that she speaks Kenyan.

My question is, who are you to say that she doesn't look good then?

And if you haven't heard, Ris Low has a freaking Wikipedia page!

Oh that's just side info, the good shit is here...

Guilty of credit card fraud

By DAWN TAY

RECENTLY crowned Miss Singapore World Ris Low, 19, had earlier been found guilty of credit-card fraud.

The beauty queen was convicted of five charges of misappropriation, cheating using illegally obtained credit cards, and impersonating their users' identities.

The first-time offender was sentenced in May this year to 24 months of supervised probation, said a Subordinate Courts spokesman in response to a query from my paper.

Another 60 charges were taken into consideration for the purposes of sentencing, he said.

Court documents show that Miss Low spent a total of more than $2,400 on at least four separate occasions, using at least three different credit cards in April and May last year.

my paper understands that her previous employer, a health-care company, made a police report about her in April last year.

It suspected that Miss Low, who worked there for five months as a patient-service assistant, had used credit cards belonging to its patients. It asked her to leave the following month.

Before leaving, she was said to have returned a part - an unspecified sum - of the total amount she had spent using the cards.

When contacted, Miss Low, now a student, said that she was "not in a position to comment".

The international Miss World pageant will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in December. It is unclear whether Miss Low will be allowed to leave the country to take part in it.

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

She totally BOOMS-ed it this time.

Dear N, I guess this time we'll not judge her. Your Honour will.

EDIT: This is my favourite video at the moment.

Singing in the Rain

There was a crazy downpour this morning and the train had to stop in between so many stops. I was late for lecture this morning and was suan-ed by the wicked witch. NB. My Hush Puppies were wet and my hair was kinda in a mess. But...

The rain never looked so pretty. :D
