Happiness > Money

November is a month full of occasions, happy occasions that is but these happy occasions are burning a huge hole in my pocket.

4 birthdays, namely Jo's (9th), Mummy's (10th), Silly's Mummy's (11th) and Zen's (30th) and the BKK trip (14th - 18th).

Imagine the hole in my pocket.

But, despite the monetary losses, the happiness gained can never be compared.

On another note, Happy 10th Monthsary Silly! Yes, I love you. (:

Changes

WoW is down. Which pretty much explains why I'm here. -mumbles- Could be a blessing in disguise though. Pretty much knackered from work thus with WoW down, I'd be having a early night, getting enough rest.

Was so sleepy at work today I emailed the rest and told them I was so sleepy that I could just fall asleep into a coma till 1800.

While emailing the usual suspects, I thought of something. People/friends grow apart because everyone changes as they grow older. You'd never expect the innocent one from 5 years ago to become the most scandalous one now. -cough-

But of course, some things never change. We are still who we are, of course, before we fall to the "dark side". -ahem-

Somehow I'm glad because I think, Silly has made me a better person. I think are the keywords here, because at least that's what I think of myself.

Thank you Silly, from saving me from the "dark side". Hahaha.

In WoW style, here's wishing everyone a Happy Hallow's End!

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now.

Childhood Nostalgia; Day I Met The Prince

I know this blog is almost dying but if I had a choice, I'd blog but otherthan work, I've been busy. Doesn't help that there is absolutely zlichinternet access in the office. So I'm writing this entry in email, to Sillyso she can blog for me on my behalf by [Ctrl + C] and [Ctrl + P].

Work's been A-Okay. The usual, nothing exciting bout it but I'm happy. Only worry is how am I going to find a job with the economy in recession once I finish this temp assignment in Jan. Sigh.

Someone pay me to WoW professionally please! I only get to WoW an average of twice/thrice a week, 2-4 hours each time. If you think that's a lot, no,it isn't enough. There are good weeks when I can WoW like crazy but bad weeks like this week, I think I only managed 3 hours till today. Sucks like hell because some of the stuff in the new expansion "Wrath of the Lich King" has already been added on and once the expansion starts everyone will start power levelling to 80, while yours truly is stuck earning reputation to get my Netherdrake epic mount.

Okay, think I got distracted a lil by WoW. Heh.

Silly and I've been very good. -beams- Come to think of it, it's coming 10 months already. (: Time really flies when you're happy. Of course we do have our bad days too but at last count, we've never quarrelled for more than an average of 6 hours? Heh. -hugs Silly- I'm very proud of you, us and Pretzel. No, Pretzel is not a new dog or cat that we have but its her car, she calls it Pretzel but I prefer it as Su-Su. Subaru, Su-An, therefore,Su-Su!

As the title says, we watched a play last night, Childhood Nostalgia; Day I Met The Prince, presented by St Hilda's Secondary School. Of course why would we watch a play presented by a secondary school if we didn't knew anyone in it. Sul (Silly's younger sister) was the "Prince" and for a secondary school's play, I thought it was rather good, the acting at least.It was an adaptation of The Little Prince so yes, very thought provoking.

Scrabulous Saturday

Friday

Silly decided it was time to shop and took me to FEP to buy shoes. Woot! I bought a pair of Greek Sandals (I prefer to know them as Spartans. LOL) for freaking $9.90! Couldn't be happier please. Then last minute plans for Zouk came up so she bought me a dress since I didn't bring any clothes with me.

Headed home and caught Episode 2 and 3 of Gossip Girl. Sigh. I'm so going to miss Danrena. They were like a dream couple.

Zouk after which with me appearing in so many pictures for the first time because Bessy went mad with the camera. Hahaha.

Saturday

Was supposed to go tanning but after the late night, we were both knackered. So slept in till it was time to pick Mummy up from work to go home to Tom Yam steamboat cooked by Lil' Brat and Simon.

Headed back out to town to do a lil shopping again. This time Silly was supposed to shop for herself BUT she ended up with nothing but a dress for me! Hehehe.

Met Jo and Bessy at Forum MacDonald's' after that for a "quiet" night so ended up playing UNO and Scrabble.

Despite Cambridge awarding me an A1 in English O' Levels, I utterly suck when it comes to Scrabble. Let's just say, my vocabulary is not very powderful. Hahaha. All I'm good at is "ninja-ing" people's word by adding it to become past, continuing present tense and plural.

Today's word of the day is PUFFIA; A curry puff version of Mafia; ref. Mafia

Yes, I thought of that when I ran out of words.

Knock Me Out

It's a beautiful Saturday night/Sunday morning, and I'm at home, all because I'm down with a bad flu virus. ):

It all started on Wednesday morning where I woke up to a couple of puking spells which led to taking MC for the day which I really didn't want to do but I had no choice. I was feeling so sick that I didn't even want to play the online sensation. Can you believe it?! I was that sick.

Got better on Thursday and Friday and then on Friday night, everything went crazy. I was tearing, sneezing and coughing non stop. Silly's mummy then ordered Silly to take me to the nearest 24 hour clinic to see a doctor.

Woke up feeling slightly better but was still damn lethargic after 12 hours of sleep. Celebrated Moon cake Festival with Silly's family with a big CNY like home cooked dinner and the lighting of lanterns. (:

My body chose the worst time to break down on me just when Silly's car arrived on Friday. Sigh. If not I'd be out cruising around Singapore with my Silly. Oh well, there's always time now since it's her very own car. Heh.

I hope I feel better by tomorrow or at least Monday because I don't want to miss work anymore. Tons of stuff to do at work.

Speaking bout work, it's been good. Trying my very best to get used to all the shipping jargons and remembering all the port codes that the company calls at. Shit part is that I can't even surf the net, much less use MSN. So been relying on emailing the usual suspects to keep me going.

I wish my Silly was here to put me to bed. ):

"It's you and me, moving at the speed of light"

`Spinning: Chris Brown - Forever

My Candyman

Few days back, Silly got one of her biggest dreams come true and I swear it's all she can talk about these days. Not that I mind because before that she kept going on and on and on and on and on (you get the picture) about it and I'm glad she'll shut up once it arrives. Hahaha.

Of course, yours truly is exhilarated too. Firstly because she'll shut up, secondly, I'll benefit greatly from it (think 24/7 full time chauffeur), thirdly, I'm happy cause she's happy. ((:

If you know Ms Chong Su-An well, you'll know what I'm talking about. Yes, she finally got her first brand new car! It's coming in approximately 11 days or so and she's counting down like crazy. Hahaha.

The Subaru Impreza in Steel Silver Metallic

So anyway, the car comes just in time because I'm starting a 3-4 month temp job in the area of Singapore that I detest the most, Shenton Way, more precisely Cecil Street. So it'll be nice to have someone send me to work and pick me up. Hehehehe.

I swear I hate that area because everyone always seems to be rushing for something every hour of the day. It stresses me out badly.

Oh well, no choice because I need the moolah for my BKK shopping in November. Not forgetting that there are a thousand and one birthdays coming up. Jac's first, then Lil' Brat's, then Dexter, then Jo, a day after my mummy's, a day after Su's mummy's, then Simon. I never understood why do the birthdays have to be together?!

Then goodbye to my WoW because I'll have no time and considering I'm like 1.5K Gold more to my epic flying mount. Sigh. Why can't there be more hours in a day where I can spend time with Silly and my family and friends and sleep and WoW. I think I'll need 48 hours in a day instead of 24 hours. Haha.

Happy 8th monthsary in advance my silly. (: And your present, I'll buy Christina's Aguilera's album and play Candyman in repeat in your new car. HEHEHE.

Electric Dreams

Heyho! The usual, I am alive and kicking, just not blogging. Hur. Everything's been pretty much the same I reckon.

Silly took me to The Prime Society to celebrate our monthsary and I swear the Fillet Mignon was indescribably delicious. God, my stomach's growling at the thought of it.

Been spending most of my time at home or with Silly at her place. Wanted to go tanning on Saturday but it ended up raining so my white chicken stays white. -beams-

On the other hand, we're going to BKK in November with my family. Yes, the whole gang of Mummsy, Simon, Lil' Brat, Myself and Silly. The most exciting part? We're going to a Thai Wedding! Omg, how exciting right? Hehe. PLUS PLUS, we'll be staying in a SUITE. Bwahahahaha.

Had the crazy dream again. The one where someone slashes me over and over again with a pen knife and it was so scary because I actually woke up with my anxiety attack. It's been awhile since I've had those and it's not funny at all, not one bit.

Sometimes, everything seems fine but at other times, it doesn't. Somethings getting to me and I'm trying to stop it. I am.

Believe in me. Just believe.

`Spinning: Keyshia Cole - Heaven Sent

Rambling On

It's been awhile. Okay, a very long while but at least it's not growing cobwebs like Silly's blog. Heh.

So a lot has happened during this period of time. I resigned and am now back to the bumming life. Haha. But it's just transitional, won't last for long that's why I'm making the best out of it by WoW-ing every moment I am awake.

Which leads me to this paragraph where I am going to rant about my warlock for a sentence or two whether you like it or not. Hmph. Dearest Aandra is level 68 and I can't wait for her to hit 70 then start gearing up etc. Started a Undead Priest on Silly's account but Gyselle has a long long way to 70.

Back to reality. Met up with Quekypoo twice so far. Once for my long over due 21st and 22nd birthday present and another just last Friday at Zouk. Guess what she bought me? I now need not "steal" Silly's iPod Nano and claim it to be mine because Quekypoo bought me a 8GB iPod Nano, in RED! -beams- Don't worry Queky, I already know what to buy for your birthday. Of course with the help of Su-An again. Haha.

Then Lil' Brat bought mummy a Longchamp Le Pilage for mother's day. Mummy used it once and I inherited it after that because she thinks its damn annoying to use. Haha.

Then on the 2nd day of GSS, I spent a total of $300 on clothes within like 2 hours. Everything I bought for myself was NOT on sale sadly. Works that way when you're a bloody size 6 or less for everything.

Talking bout sizes, I've put on so much weight I feel like a balloon already although everyone insists I could do with some more weight. But knowing my own body, it'll balloon out of proportion if I don't watch myself.

Of course life is never that smooth sailing and fantastic. I've had my down moments. All I can say is, it's sad when you get back stabbed over and over again by someone whom you once treated like a sibling. You know who you are. If you feel that your life is better without our friendships, then so be it. I don't see why I should approach you first. I love you, still.

Okay, enough of that. Jac's back but leaving soon. You bloody kuku. We spent like what? A couple of hours together? And then you're leaving. I hate you la Jac. Kidding. Can't be more glad to see you. LAKSAAAAAA. Its like some unspoken date we have every time you're back. Laksa. LOL.

Yes yes, this entry is threatening to go on and on. It'll end here but before I say this.

Happy 6th Monthsary in advance Silly Superhero. I still stand by what I said right from the start, you make me a very happy princess. (:

-glares at Jac and Quek, YES PRINCESS- Haha.

A You Intervention

I'm sick and exhausted, all because I didn't get a single wink of sleep last night. It's scary cause I haven't had any major sleeping issues the past few months and I thought it was over for good but apparently not.

Doesn't help that I'm really sick, which totally sucks. Everything just seems to be getting real depressing. -sigh-

I'm generally grumpy, grouchy, stressed and depressed these days.

Sometimes I think what I need is a you intervention.
I need you.

All That Jazz

So I'm starting to get busy with work once again. Sigh. Bleeding performance season. Though the major performances are in July, the paper work and meetings are starting to pile up.

Of late while listening to MY (Self proclaimed it's mine when I borrowed it from Silly and never gave it back) iPod Nano, some how or rather, I keep ending up listening to Michael Buble and Tony Bennett.

And as I sing to myself in my head to the lyrics of Dream A Little Dream & Fly Me To The Moon (obviously I won't sing out loud in the MRT), I end up smiling to myself like an idiot.

Why?

Because I realised, how happy I've been the past 4 months. That how love can be so simple and yet sweet. And how much I've been smiling the past months. Thank you Silly for making me the happiest princess always. I love you. ((:

"Stars shining bright above you, night breezes seem to whisper, "I love
you".
Birds singing in the sycamore tree, "Dream a little dream of me".
Say "nighty-night" and kiss me.
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
While I'm alone and blue as can be, dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading, but I linger on, dear.
Still craving your kiss, I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear.
Just saying this: Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you.
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me."

So yes I do have a pretty huge ego but that is one thing I always admit as my weakness. I don't like it when people point my mistakes out, but in general I don't think I defend myself if they actually make sense.

But sometimes, certain things, one can never understand till you face the exact same problem. It may be the easiest thing on earth for some but to me, it's like trying to climb mount everest without the proper gear. I'd freeze to death alone.

Le April Babies

Sorry Zen I had to steal your FB album title, I just thought it was so damn apropriate. Haha. Anyway, copyrighted you right there. Hur.

So the title says it all. Le April Babies, which basically were Jie and I. Had this combined "celebration" on the weekend before my birthday so that was like a couple of weeks back? I know these photos are like stale already but hey, at least I'm uploading them here okay? Haha.

First, say hello everyone.

Then you see the alcohol getting to one of us (Bessy).

You see, here in my stilettos, Jo's bag and Zen's hair clip with her all so sexy pout. HAHAHA.

Then we started comparing lash lengths, I won hands down because mine is AU NATURALE. Unlike Jie's fake lashes which were still shorter than mine. Hehehe.

Jie and I continued on by making Silly and Bessy carry us like Queens' on our thrones'.

At some point where we were so amused by God knows what (maybe alcohol) with Bessy classically spoiling whatever picture she can.

As you can tell, there is only one person enjoying herself in this picture. The agony Jie put Silly and I through. Size does not equates to weight. Hahahaha.

Finally, presenting you the Belle Du Jour of the night. HAHAHA.

The Secret's In Telling

Secrets, don't we all have some secret that we keep from someone some way or another. It's sad how one secret covers up for another secret and the sick cycle carousel just continues.

With all honesty, I don't think I have any secrets. I think, I think, I emphasis I think. Hah.

22nd was good, same old quiet birthday, the way I like it. Will upload the pictures of the celebration I had with Jie at Zouk in the next entry.

Looking around my peers, I'm thankful, that my drama rama rara life is over for now. No, I am not gloating at you guys, just being reflective.

Thank you to all who wished me Happy Birthday through whichever medium you used. Lastly, thank you my silly for being the sweetest ever.

You Know It's Not Your Day When...

You know it's not your day when:

1. You wake up a teeny bit late for work in the morning.

2. Then your mum calls you to tell you to cab down because it's a heavy thunderstorm in town and there's no way you could possibly climb up that hell of a hill without getting totally drenched. And there goes 20 bucks down the drain because of the god damn weather.

3. You flag for a cab and then in a frantic attempt to get on the cab and get out of the rain, you step into a flooded"longkang" causing your entire shoes to fill up with "longkang water".

4. You get into the office and within 5 minutes, someone classically annoys you so badly you just want to murder the person.

5. The person continues to annoy you with absolutely brainless and stupid questions that you couldn't hold your temper in.

6. Then finally, love does it's stupid thing and bites you right back where it hurts.

Yes, I'm having a bad day. All I want to do now is go home.

What Andrea Means

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Hmmm. Food for thought.

On Pointe

I'm absolutely falling asleep at work, major case. I have no idea why but I can't just seem to get my brain and fingers to do proper work, it's like, they fell asleep on me. -mumbles- Oh well, at least it's 1730 hours already, 30 minutes more and I'm officially off work!

Been real busy, so busy I barely had time for anything else other than work and sleep, much less coming online to blog. I knew I always said I'll never end up in the events line but well, the saying goes, never speak too soon.

Technically this ain't events, it's stage production but what the heck anyway. It's something I've loved since I was young so there's a plus point. Giselle In The Park went pretty well and it was exhaustingly fun. Now it's time to deal with the figures and reports. -groans-

Other than that been doing loads of money counting (if only the money was mine), talking nonsense, msn-ing Silly and doing nonsense like pose in the basic feet positions of ballet (complete with pointe shoes and tights) for her ADC kit. So yes, in short, I'm having fun.

But because of work, been neglecting Silly a fair bit. I'm sorry sweetheart, at least now I'm a little more free. ((:

Plans for my birthday are somewhat settled and I already got my first birthday present from Silly. An Agnes B bracelet attached with a agnes b guitar pick charm. -double beam-

Off to Timbre now to celebrate Viola's birthday! Believe it or not 90% of the office's birthday is in April. Hur.

A Thousand Words

They say, a picture speaks a thousand words. So this entry will be minimal in text as to my usual chunk of words (I still prefer words). Reason because, I'm too tired to type so much but I can't bear abnegation.blogspot collecting dust.

Prada HP Strap.((:

Burberry Scarf that Lil' Brat bought for me amongst other things like a Agnes B pouch which I am too lazy to take a snap of.

So the next 2 pictures are the pictures of SOME of the steps (and slopes) I have to climb to get to work daily. Silly has been chauffeuring me back and forth work since I started. Tomorrow would be my first day "climbing the hill". BABY I MISS YOU ALREADY. Teeheehee. :x

Last Friday after work, we headed down to Esplanade for the Mosaic Music Festival. Had dinner at Al Dente but classically was too hungry and forgot to take pictures.

Met Jillene after dinner for Olivia Ong and went on a rampage taking pictures with her DSLR and Silly's Holga.

I think I almost look "saint" like here. HAHAHA.

This shot looks almost like an advertisement. Hur.

I'm done here. Told you it'd be minimal on words. (:

It's the perfect gift because I'm going to get a new handphone by this weekend but being the indecisive me, I still have no idea which phone thus wondering if I should change the colour of the strap.

I'm so excited, I want to go get my phone tomorrow. Hehe. Maybe, I just would. (:

CNY (Cranky New Year)

I do actually have a love-hate relationship with CNY. I love the new clothes and ang baos but it really does make me realise how lonely I can actually get and like Zen, I don't need to be reminded.

I reckon only Zen and Denise would understand what I mean by lonely but oh well girls, we get by, don't we? (:

So CNY this year completely doesn't feel like CNY. Doesn't help that the Lil' Brat's away in Japan. I actually miss quarrelling with her already. Sigh. 3 more weeks till she's back.

This CNY has also been extremely exhausting. I seriously am falling apart.

Headed out last night with Jac and Denise to Zouk to meet Aly then to Play to meet Silly, Zenna, Casey, Jie and Bessy.

Simpang for supper with Silly and Denise, dropped Denise home and arrived home unceremoniously at 0600 hours. By the time I got to bed it was almost 0700, 2 hours later, my mum dragged me out of bed. -mumbles-

And I swear, I will never buy long sleeved tops for CNY ever again in my life. Try and act guai this year la, all 3 tops all long sleeved. The past 2 days, I've been like melting like crazy. -grumbles-

Best part, my room looks like it has been hit by a hurricane (Like it usually does) and my wardrobe is just 30% of it. Throwing away and donating literally half my wardrobe because they are either way too big, outdated or I just don't wear them anymore.

Doesn't help that this year, Lil' Brat is in Japan and it's just Mummy and I to clean the entire fucking house. I dread waking up tomorrow. -groans-

Here's wishing everyone Gong Xi Fa Cai and a prosperous CNY! (Read: Collect more ang baos, win money if you're gambling but lose money if you're gambling with me because I am so going to win your entire fortune because I will be wearing RED underwear! Bwahaha!)

I HATE SPRING CLEANING!

Shopaholic In Love

I swear the past entire week all I've been doing is shopping, grocery shopping, shopping and more grocery shopping. Carrying shopping bags all over town for 3 days and carrying super heavy grocery shopping bags for another 3 days has taken a toll on my poor "not so skinny anymore" legs.

So I am finally done with my CNY clothes shopping after 3 rounds of it. Bought 2 shirt dresses and 4 thongs from Topshop, 2 bras from Miss Triumph, 1 long sleeved top from AX, a pair of black stockings online (which have not arrived and I am getting worried), a pair of skinnys and a muffler from Fourskin, a bracelet from Diva which Silly (: paid for, a clutch from F21, a pair of heels from Trendy Zone and 3 earrings from Bugis Village.

Total damage, $600. -faints- Now that I see the total amount, I am so glad the jeans I wanted originally went OOS in my size because it costs a freaking $375, but I am still going to get it once the stock comes in. I will save for it! -beams-

And for the first time in many many years, I bought everything long sleeved for CNY. LOL. If you know my dressing style, it pretty much is, "If you've got it, flaunt it", go figure. (:

Aside from being a total absolute shopaholic, the steamboat at Silly's turned out pretty well, because I am so proud the tom yam turned out fantastic. Hur. Okay, maybe not as fantastic as mummy's but first time so give me some room for error. Hur.

Actually, all I did was tell Yaya (Silly's maid) to cut up everything and instructed Silly on what and when to put in the pot of boiling water. I was basically supervising. Hahaha. My excuse? I am scared of hot stuff. -grins-

Tomorrow's going to be another long long day for me because it's our first monthsary together! Yay!

I would honestly like to thank the ex-es because if it weren't because of the one who left and the one cheated, we would have never ever thought we'd hook up and end up being together. Plus, we both learnt precious lessons, lessons paid for over a span of 6 years altogether.

Happy 1st monthsary my silly sunshine hero. Can't wait for the 2nd, 3rd and so on to come along and I can't wait to see you, hear you and feel you all together at the same time. ((:

For The Sunshine In My Life

In approximately 11 hours, the Silly girlfriend turn 23. -coughOLDcough- Hurhur.

To celebrate her birthday, I have graciously and generously (AHEM!) decided to be the chef for today and tomorrow. Those who know, know that I CAN actually cook but I just rarely do because I am too damn lazy. -ego speaking for itself-

Anyhoos, on the menu for today would be a simple Pasta Salad which we both adore like crazy but I hope she adores the one I'm gonna cook.

Tomorrow, steamboat at her place which I will attempt to cook Tom Yam soup for the first time in my life. Those who have tried my mum's Tom Yam would know that it's pretty solid so I hope I can't screw up much following her receipe word for word. -prays-

I swear cooking is a total pain in the ass. I hate washing up! -screams silently- But for my Silly, I will do it with no complains. -clears throat-

So because I will have no time to blog after this and until her birthday is over;

Dearest Girlfriend,

Next year, I will make up for the 22 birthdays I've missed out with you (Because this year I am too broke), and I am absolutely looking forward to the future birthday celebrations to come.

I hope you really like the present I gave you 3 weeks ago and I'm sorry I gave it to you so early but I was too damn excited after getting it. Haha.

May your plans for the future flow out smoothly as smoothly as I waltzed into your life. Hehe!

I am totally looking forward to having my own personal chef, my black Lexus Sports, black BMW M6, black Toyota Rav4, black Evo 10, black SLK and black Maserati to drive around in (Excluding the 10 or 20 other cars you want to own in the future).

Playing Mahjong and shopping with Carmen and Su-Lynn all day long (While you, Dexter and Su-Lynn's future husband slog your lives away for our Jimmy Choos, Bottega Venetta, Tods, Prada, Chanel etc purchases). Oh, remember my roomful of 2.55s okay? Haha. God it sounds like I'm writing a wish list for my birthday.

But anyway, I LOVE YOU, you old fart. I know (And am pretty sure) you love me too and I hope I stay LOVEABLE enough for you for the rest of my (Turn so old till breast are saggy) life.

Happy 23rd Birthday my Silly Sunshine Hero.

Foodie

Saturday - Corduroy & Finch

The Chocolate Fudge Milkshake rocked my socks!


Open kitchen concept.


I love chandeliers.


The Anitpasti & Tapas.


Yes, the one of the few cooked fish I take, Codfish.

So Silly blew $80 on all that all because she promised me a good brunch the night before. -beams- & Maybe, because I said so. ((:

Sunday - Golden Mile Market

I know, you're expecting a whole slew of pictures once again BUT, the girlfriend and I were too hungry so when the food came, we just ate and completely forgot about the poor camera. Haha. I promise pictures the next round.

Basically we had Char Kway Teow, Hokkien Mee, Char Siew & Roast Duck, Ah Baling (aka Tang Yuan), Chin Chow and Sugarcane.

I miss the Char Kway Teow already! Next round at Golden Mile, the all so famous Claypot Rice. -beams-

Anyway, after that mountain of food, 2 hours later, I continued to have the famous AMK Crab Bee Hoon, 1 You Tiao with my favourite Selegie Tau Huey with Tau Huey Jui.

With such an appalling amount of intake within 5 hours, I had indigestion. Yes I deserved it. But everything was so damn irresistible. At this rate, I'm gonna be fat, yes, FAT. -grumble mumble-

Deviation

Deviating from our regular plan to stay home, we met up with Bel in town for dinner. So we parked ourselves at NYDC Heerens from 1900 to 2230 hours, catching up, talking about cars for the longest time I remember and God knows what other nonsense the 3 of us spoke about.

And once again, deviating from our regular plan to not club on weekdays or rather, cut down on clubbing, we some how ended up at Zouk. LOL. Yours truly was disgustingly in shorts and slippers, it was really un-planned. Hur.

Despite all the absurd amount of deviation going on the entire day, it just went on.

Silly and I left at 0100 because she had to work today but after getting on the car, I was so spectacularly high that I went on and on and on and on. Which meant to say, I couldn't stop talking or rambling would be a better term. Which is pretty rare, cause I usually only talk when necessary or I am usually very sober.

I woke up this morning and the first thing I remembered was, "What the fucking hell did I say last night?!". Apparently, I said a truckload of stuff ranging from "saggy breasts" to "the death sentence". Go figure. Haha.

Even though it was all to my very own girlfriend, it is bloody embarrassing. I would say even more embarrassing than passing out dead drunk because that way, I wouldn't be able to rattle off like I did last night.

Oh, Silly just informed me that I did not only spew totally "throw my own face" nonsense, that I did things that I would very much like to bury myself right now because I cannot believe it and am laughing my ass off at myself. Classically, she re-enacted the entire scene to her brother. -buries self-

Next time I am high, someone just duct tape my mouth please.

Remember

Lil' Brat left for Narita, Tokyo yesterday morning for 6 weeks of training, shopping and freezing her ass off. Strangely, I think I might just miss her. Hah.

But its all for a good cause. Hello to Head Porter, Burberry Blue Label, Goyard, CDG, BAPE, Victoria Secrets, American Apparel, F21, GAP, Abercrombie & Fitch, Urban Outfitters, American Eagle and the list goes on. (:

That aside, I finally got my haircut after a million years. I finally have tangle free hair. Haha. Now I'm left with my CNY shopping and threading. ASOS corset and opaque stockings on the way to me. -beams- I hope they arrive before CNY.

Enough bout wanting to shop. With the untimely arrival of the bleeding monthly, I've been on a hell of roller coaster ride with my emotions.

And no, it's not all that emo. Just that the emo bits tend to end up here. The happy ones, well, are best kept private. -grins-

The bitter sweet emotion has decided to park itself in my emo bank. As it is, I am already a very bitter person. The bleeding hormones are just making my life completely miserable when it actually isn't.

I realised, I forgot how it was like to speak my mind. I completely forgot.

I just need to shop and someone to help me remember how it was like to be me.

Grapevine

Comparison, how much does it affect your life? Mine? I try not to let it get to me but sometimes, it does get the better of me.

I really hate to compare, especially one relationship with another because every single relationship we have is unique to us in a certain way but it just happens I guess. I'll see how long I can hold out before jealousy gets the best of me. I hate to say this, but jealousy ALWAYS gets the best of me. Bugger.

---

All that nonsense aside, no no, I haven't moved. Just been sick like a dog.

So yes, sick. Yes still sick since Christmas Eve last year. Bugger. It worst on Sunday night, I was coughing my lungs out and basically just sleeping day in, day out, but thankfully, My Hero nursed me back to health.

I think if I were at home (Yes I am at Bukit Panjang), without no one to take care of me half the time, I'd probably still be dead in bed. I just hope I didn't lose weight from this coughing episode. |:

Still coughing here and there, occasional headaches and all but I suppose I'm much better. Sigh. I don't know what to do if I fall sick during CNY again! I can't afford to fall sick this year. I want to collect all the extra money to make up for what I missed out last year. Hur.

MJ tomorrow with my best friend (Quek), my old friend (Jac) and my girlfriend (Su). I am so going to play princess and make you guys let me win. Haha!

The Strangest Things

I had a crazy idea of moving permanently over to LJ a couple of days back. Strangely, it's still hanging at the back of my head.

Yes I have so many years on abnegation.blogspot but I have this strange urge of wanting to having a "fresh start".

Not that my LJ account is exactly new nor is the address very different from this, but I just can't explain it. Maybe I'm just sick of my layout and I have no idea how to fix the layout I wanted to change it to. Argh.

Headache from hell killing me. God knows why I'm having a headache out of the blue. Even stranger, I actually got irritated with WoW because the server was lagging so bad I was running at 1.5K latency.

Doesn't help that I've been PMS-ing major. Bloody monthlies (Pun intended). One minute I'm all fine and dandy, the next minute, the smallest matter can just piss me off earth.

Someone stuff me with Coke and Chocolates or make me smile please. I'm in dire need.

Better Together

And it's all because of you,

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine.
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?

It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving.
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together.

'Cause this is real, and this is good.
It warms the inside just like it should,
But most of all it's built to last.

Hello Girlfriend. (:

Ready Or Not, 2008 Here I Come!

After years of overdosing on alcohol on NYE, finally I had a quiet NYE. Steamboat and KTV with Silly's friends. Surprisingly, it was rather refreshing.

Happy 2008 everyone, I hope you had a happy one.

And it was nice, to wake up right next to Silly on the first day of the year. (:

And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
