*deep breath* KINO CARRIES TOKYO BABYLON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT......... *drumroll* it's in jap. >< bleh. i was bouncing up and down yesterday when i saw the entire collection on the shelves, then i realised, i won't understand it anyway. sigh. so sad. now i regret not taking up jap...... but then again, would i want to pay slightly less than $15 a bk of which i dun understand half the words?

went out with lyd yesterday... and we had a movie marathon which was less painful than our previous X2 and matrix marathon... to the wallet and the derriere. ^_^ we watched zatoichi and starsky and hutch. zatoichi was good.. altho i think we missed the first few minutes cos we went to the wrong floor in cine. >< other than that, i quite enjoyed it. it's relatively bloody, but less dramatic than the kill bill type of bloody. the sword fighting was cool... and i think one of the characters acted in gohatto!!! as the pretty boy's coughstalkercough *xw xw* it had quite a lot of comic relief too, which was quite surprising, considering it's supposed to be kinda dark. ^_^ starsky and hutch was damn funny and crappy..... and i think me and lyd were the only ones in the cinema who managed to pick out some gay overtones... undertones.... watever-tones. seriuosly. there really were a few parts where we were like: 'er... they gay or wat?'

we had an hour's break btwn the 2 shows, so we strolled down to forum to fix her specs... we saw these really pretty banners of troy hanging from the lamp posts and a cardboard-standing-thingy of the wooden horse on display outside lido and we were contemplating stealing them... she wanted brad pitt and i wanted orlando bloom .^_^ incidentally, who's brad pitt playing? i know orlando bloom is paris... lyd said that she thinks that they're enemies or something based on the shots but i dun remember anything cos the last time i saw the shots was at the beginning of the year. then we were also discussing X3 and whether it's going to be filmed soon and who's gonna appear.... so naturally the discussion swerved over to gambit dearie and we were wondering who he'd be paired with if he appeared, considering that rogue is more or less with bobby, and storm with nightcrawler.... and for some strange reason the conversation turned to X-men ///// O.o i think it was cos she was thinking of rogue and bobby but she wanted to say rogue and remy... and it came out as... "remy and bobby" *faints* the rest of the conversation was very warped to say the least. i think the pple walking along orchard must have thot we were mad cos i was whacking her and we were both laughing like mad hyenas. ^_^

smuggled silamrillion and unfinshed tales home. ^_^ bad me. read abt 160 pgs of unfinished tales last night..... 300+ to go... and that already took me 3+ hours. >< the stories aren't too bad, altho it's kinda confusing cos all the names seem so similar after a while... O.o and as the name says, they're unfinshed. bleh. i've a feeling that i shud have read silmarillion first, but... heck, must finish the bigger book first so that i can hide it more efficiently. ^_^ also borrowed 2 books frm the orchard library so got lots of stuff to keep me occupied at nite now. ^_^ tho i think i shud start sleeping and waking earlier... can't stand it... i'd rather be a night person except that everything impt happens during the day... am i making sense here? probably not. ^_^

watched IA2 on sun... finally understand it.. now to watch IA3. ^_^ and i can finally tell shawn yue and edison chen apart!! i think. ^_^ heeee.....

driving lessons tonite.... the countdown is on to my test date and interview...... la di da... oh ya, must go and take nice photo for my driving license. ^_^ kkz, me shall go read fic now nad maybe write if i find myself sufficiently warped/creative when i've finished my 'rounds' ^_^ shall go look for TB scanslations too. lyd says that they exist somewhere but she can't remember the site. hope can find them! i want to read the last 2? 1? bks... can't remember where ning da's collection left off.... oh, and ning da, i think kino is out of DN Angel 10 and i couldn't find peacemaker anywhere... bleh. or else DNA10 hasn't been translated still, cos it was availble in the jap section. oh yes, and i also saw this thing that looked vaguely like the sequel to weiss kreuz where (horror of horrors) only aya and ken are left and they've got 3 new team mates who are... girls.... *raises eyebrow* is this a joke or did the creator(s) finally decide to either pair ken and aya (or shud it be the other way round?) up or give them nice little girlies to play with so that fangirls out there could stop ///ing them ard? ^_^ i think i can hear the kai screeching that aya belongs to her now *listens hard*

*skips off to la la land to tend to the bishie farm*

7:49 PM

just came back frm the essay..... pretty alright i guess. the topic was really a surprise... had to write abt a failure, its consequences and wat lessons i learnt...... O.o definitely wan't expecting that. anywayz, i wrote abt how i failed all my maths test in the first half of the year in sec 1.... and beefed it up a lot, then i started moralising at the end... hopefully the last part wasn't cheesy, i was rushing like mad then... thanks to not writing for abt 4 months, my hand cramped at pg 2 of 4. >< and my writing wasn't as neat as i wanted it to be... but it was still pretty legible so no complaints. ^_^

started off on my new fic as promised on friday nite... morning rather. it's a LotR based loosely on 'portrait of dorian gray'..... i shan't explain here cos... it's hard to explain. i think i killed off too many of ning's brain cells (wow, she HAS brain cells) trying to explain to her online, and i'm too stoned and full from my caramel pie to re-explain here.... this one i think i really won't post until i finish it.... or until i succumb to temptation and my ego demands to be appeased with reviews. ^_^ cos i've only got a slight idea on how to end it, which sounds vaguely cheesy. it's got to do with my theory of reversal in dorain gray's case. ^_^ not saying anything else. ^_^ but i need to reread wat i've written so far (which counts as... a prologue and one chpt maybe? i didn't split it so far) cos the intro doesn't hold together as well as i would like it to. ><

i'm rambling. so if you're confused abt wat's happening up ther, well, you're supposed to be confused. ^_^

tried doing french nails last nite while reading 1 wks worht of newspapers in prep for today's essay. a usual, now that it's over, i wish i'd gone online and wrote my story instead. ^_^ the nails look ok.... but i dun really like the base colour. i couldn't find my light pink nail polish so i settled on a more skin tone one that i borrowed from mum... the tips came out better than i expected, htey're easier to do without the guides. the last time i tried in j1 with the tips, i smudged everything and i had to clean off 2h of hard work. >< but i'm quite happy that my right hand turned out ok, considering that i'm still a little shaky when painting with my left hand. altho i did smudge a bit too much white on my little finger... oh well. can try again before interview. ^_^ and in the mean time, i can go shopping for a nicer more pinkish base....

today got a lot of stuff to read. ^_^ happy happy. including the original fic link on ning's bloggie. didn't know you actually go to fictionpress still.... i leave that site to rot unless i'm feeling poetical or something. ^_^ not really one for original fiction. ^_^

going out (i think) with lyd tmr. i haven't called her yet, but i think she prob can make it...... wondering wat to watch now... kill bill or 50 first dates... speaking of movies, troy is out on may 14!!! *streamers and balloon* and is sean bean boromir or sam? boromir right? messa confused. ^_^

bye bye then! prob won't come online tmr.... or if i do, depending on my state of warpedness i'll prob just write my fic. actually, come to think of it, warpedness has nothing to do with my fic this time round... only a lot of imagination. which is good. i need to think of stuff other than wat goes thru my head on a regular basis, which i doubt anyone out there wants to know. or maybe i won't come online at all, if i can smuggle 'silmarillion' and 'unfinished takes of ME' home i'll be in my room reading madly. ^_^ hehehehehe...........

12:31 AM

meant to blog yesterday, but....... heh, got sidetracked by a very very very... strange conversation with the ning da.... let's see, first it started off with her closet i think, then it gravitated towards krad's hair (of all things) before i told her all abt my plot bunnies and stuff to do with 'the picture of dorian gray' by oscar wilde and then ended up discussing wilde's gayness and all the scandal to do with it... imgaine, his lover's nickname was bosie. how gay can that be man?!

warpedness aside, i went to watch hellboy yesterday afternoon with my mum, so i guess i was in a specacularly evil mode last night. ^_^ *horns appear* on the whole, the show was ok, but i prefer x-men to it... maybe cos i know the characters at least.... but really, hellboy kinda sucked. the action was so-so (how bad can it get when the lead actor is 53 yrs old?) and the plot was tacky. wait, there wasn't any plot to begin with. ><

then today, i spent most of the day in bed sleeping thanks to stupid cramps. >< sometimes i really can't decide is it better to be a guy or girl. >< bleh. but no fears, me is back to my crazy hyper self now, cos i'm eating those iced biscuits. ^_^ yummy!!! sugar deprivation. ^_^

driving lessons tmr afternoon, and i think sis is going to give me a mock interview to prepare me for next week.... contemplating writing fics now, just to get the creative/crapping skills that have been growing mould since i passed GP... and to exercise the wonderful hand muscles that haven't done much writing even during my past jobs. ^_^ incidentally, i just got my last pay cheque for all the jobs so far, and me is richer by abt $1,500. ^_^ shopping time!!! woot!!!! going out with lyd next week to buy her b'day prezzies..... shall go stake out the dvd section in kino in anticipation of FF7:AC. ^__________^ off to read fics now. ja!

ps sorry for the rather disjointed post, that's wat happens after sleeping for the better part of the day and still feeling like u want to sleep some more.

random drabble: WHEN'S IT GONNA RAIN?!?!??!?!?!! i'm melting here. ><

5:20 PM

*bounces madly* *waves letter wildly*

NUS FINALLY GOT BACK TO ME!!!!!!! *glomps office of admissions* so, messa up for interview next friday at 3pm, psychometric test and essays will be this sunday. ^_^ exciting no da!!! interview on the same day as driving test...... double good news? ^___________^ *claps hands and bounces ard house* on second thot, why sunday of all days? i'd have thot saturday would be a better bet. oh well,, just as well, cos i got driving on sat afternoon. ^_______^

ya, i noe i've been MIA-ed for the past... 5+ days..... not my fault ma. ^_^ okie dokie then, here's the update starting from sat:

went to watch saturday night fever on sat. the show was..... ok. the dancing was good, no make that great, but it was plotless. >< and esther's sis was late, so we did a mad dash up to the circle 3 (aka: the top of the esplanade) and managed to get to our seats just as the lights dimmed... phew! otherwie we'd have to wait for intermission or the next song to get in, which would be quite sad, cos the opening was good. but can you imagine? this 3 pple running wildly up the stairs? with one dressed in a skirt ad attempting to look glam while taking the stairs two at a time? ^_^" after the show, me went on a tour of the underpasses at the esplanade in an attempt to get to the otherside of the road.... for some strange reason, my sense of direction was haywire that night, so i couldn't figure out which underpass was the correct one... so ended up walking thru all 4, and i think ocnvincing the rollerbladers that i was crazy. ^_^" oh well.

sunday: went gradma's house in the evening to celebrate her b'day. afternoong i spent playing x-men, which reminds me, i must go gamefaq.com and see if there's any rip-off version of a guide ther i can use. anyway, little cousins were crazy, and VERY high, as usual. the food was pretty good, lots of chicken wings and satays. ^_^ and the b'day cake was yum. chocolate and banana cake frm this place called the cheesacake cafe. it's set up by this couple who used to work in SQ, so everything is done like on a plane, as in when taking your order, they kneel/squat beside you instead of simply bending over. must go and try the cheese cake there one day, it's their specialty. ^_^ *drools madly* but it's only open after 4 tho. ><

monday: slept late till abt 12, then woke up, made peanut butter and honey toast (separately) and then watched 3h of some forensics show which dad taped for me... after that.. er... hee... i went back to sleep. ^_^" so in total i was awake for 4h in the afternoon. then i woke up, had dinner and went for driving lessons. ^_^ had my trial test, and i scored 8pts altogether. ^_^ *peace sign* the instructor said that he was being as ngiao as posible, otherwise he wouldn't be doing his job, else i'd only have gotten 6 pts, but, oh well, if i can get that many for my actual test i'd be very happy already. heck, perfect score man! i want to set a new record!!! i wonder if anyone has ever passed a driving tets with 0 pts... hm ^_^ *wink wink*

tuesday: woke up (late), ironed clothes then read newspaper from last week, then after that mum dragged me off to bible study over at city harvest... turned out to be quite interesting actually. we were doing isaiah, and there was a prophesy that one day egypt and assyria (iraq) would be best of friends with israel. can't wait to see that actually happen, cos i think it'd need a really big miracle.

today: went out for lunch with my grandma and auntie. had viet food, after which we went for cake. so now i'm sitting here contemplating whether or not i shud conk, but i doubt i will, cos i got lots of fics to read. ^_^ might be going out with lyd tmr, or else fri. she hasn't replied my msg yet so.... wait wait wait. ^_^ me thinketh that me will ask to borrow the silmarillion if it's small enuff for me to smuggle into the house. ^_^ bad me. but i want to read it no da!! *whines* sigh.

off to catch up on stuff/find a guide then. ja till tmr/fri depending which day i go out. ^_^

10:55 PM

kawaii~~!!!! *points at pic* I WANT!!!!!!!!!!! someone buy for my birthday? yes? *crazy evil laughter* that's courtesy of one of the ff.net writers... she does pretty good stories together with someone else... one of the few non-/// that i actually follow.

last day of work today, everyone was chao chao chao nice to me.... even nicer than yesterday. not that i minded. ^_^ the sales person who treats me like her xiao mei mei took me out for lunch again. she treated me to prata. *drools* yummy no da!! it's the nicest tasting prata i've eaten in a long long long time.... considering the last time i ate was in sch. ^_^ then she was telling me all abt how she got 'conned' into doing bus. ed in poly instead of biotech, cos she hates her job now and is contemplating a diploma in nursing.. turns out that 2 of the pple in sales were actually air stewardesses last time... didn't think they'd actually give up a funner job for sales.

after that went back to the office where i was told to "don't work so hard, it's your last day here". so i spent the last 1.5h (yes, hours) reading my book and surfing the net... ^________^ not bad ah? just abt makes up for all the times i came to work early, cos i got paid to do nothing. ^_________^

so, off on a slack-a-thon now, asked my sis to look out for any lobang over at the airport, so i dun need to wake up so early to take bus to work. ^_^ nyuk nyuk nyuk. but i'm very bored now, ff.net hasn't updated the stories for today. >< and got noone to talk to online... everyone's away... except for the kevin no baka. >< sighz...... maybe i'll go play x-men for a while, not really in the mood to figure out where the heck i shud make niobe go when the guide doesn't really help much. >< why can't ther be an onscreen map? that would make my life so much easier.

k la, shall go and either read old fics now or bash pple (mutants i mean) all depends on whether or not i can find pple to talk to. ^_^ watching saturday night fever tmr and got driving in the afternoon, so i guess it means i won't be online the whole day... then got grandma's b'day celebration on sun, so best bet of me goin online will be on mon. ^_^ ja!

ps: i really really really want the plot bunny!!!!! and so wat if i've got too many stuffed toys? ^________^

Thursday, April 15

11:33 PM

last day of work tmr no da!!!! i can finally sleep late and sleep in. ^_^ actually, i was supposed to do a 3 day data entry stint over at ikea for panasonic... but after thinking it thru, i decided not to go for it cos..... it's damn far away... and the job starts at 8.30, means i've to wakeup at...6+ to leave by 7+. O.o no can do for the sleepyhead no da. ^_^

anyway, pple at work have been nicer... or maybe it's just me. i'm ow sitting outside, cos they finally decided to let the perm girl replacing me do her won work rather than hang ard and let me do it... not that i mind, i quite like cutting and binding cheques. so now i'm sitting outside... sorting cheques and recording them. -_-" not much diff i noe, but at least the aircon's colder outside... and it's more interesting too. went lunch with the sales pple today. the girls that is, the guys sit in the office and read the papers during lunch, or else they disappear to goodness knows where to smoke/watever.

had driving last nite.... and me hath finally relised that it's possible to change gear while turning. -_-" i thot it wasn't allowed.... and qn... if u can change gear while turning, why can't u change gear at a bend? considering that turning is sharper than bends.

speaking o bends, i think that all the drivers of 608 are sadistic. they INSIST on rounding the bends in the kallang stadium area with as little braking as possible... probably to see how many pple they can make to fall on their face. >< baka drivers. >< incidentally, i just remembered that the name of the driver on whose bus i almost fell down on (gomen, bad grammer. but heck) was K P Kong.... (kay poh... hahahhahahha) and the one on the way home was K S Teo (KIASU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) ahem. nothing better to do wat. so memorise random stuff lor.... which is good in a way, cos i can remember all the irrelevant stuff at work to do with the cheque printing so i dun have to dig thru a heap of scrap paper to find back orders. ^_^

currently d/ling the FMV for 1000 words... i really regret stopping the d/l last nite cos i wanted to sleep... now i've to start all over again, and the rate's like... 1/3 of last nite!!! gr. if it doesn't finish at a decent time after i finsh reading all my fics then i'm giving up and trying again tmr. ><

off to conitnue disturbing the ning da now... and i think i've sufficiently digested my dinner to have a CHOCOLATE BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!! *bounces madly*

Tuesday, April 13

11:34 PM

currently d/ling jade's version for 1000 words and real emotion.... running out of stuff to listen to, but not desparate enuff to open my 8h long playlist and cycle thru it slowly and painfully. actually, she sounds better for slow songs than fast... i amintain that they shouldn't have gotten her to sing real emotion.

speaking of slow and painful, that's wat today at the office was. painful. first i got evicted from my nice little room where i can eat snake blatantly cos, well, i'm alone in tehre. cos they had to do housekeeping.... good news is the room's now nice and clear. bad news is. i'm no loner in there. >< they finally decided to let the new girl take over her job.... stupid as that sounds.... so i was re-assigned to the apntry where i'm ckearing out, no not the fridge unfortunately, bundles of the cheque stubs or watever dating from OCTOBER last year. *faints* so, i was happily inhaling the dust from last year... how 'nostalgic' ><
i'm chao stoned today... and too full for a sugar overdose tho... bleh. oh well, off to read fanfic. ja!

Monday, April 12

10:52 AM

wah lau, today's bus driver think he F1 driver like that... he was cheonging all the way, i bet he didn't even brake when going ard bends.... one woman almost fell out of her seat, and i almost fell down..... baka driver!!!>< and i believe he's a strong supporter of the emergency brake... he accelerates all the way to the bus stop and jams brake at the last possible moment... which was why yours ttuly almost fell..... bleh. so tempted to go to the front and tell him "uncle and drive less hiong or not ah?" but scully he purposely go and diao me and drive even more scarily... ^_^"

got driving lessons tonite, so won't be able to come online until tmr.... if i dun end up watching IA2 tmr that is..... ja then!

Saturday, April 10

7:48 PM

currently discussing very philosophical stuff with my shi fu online.... wah.... i never cease to amaze myself... ok, so maybe he's the one doing the brainwork, and i'm the one inserting stupid comments. ^___________^

played enter the matrix the whole of last nite ater getting kicked off the com by my sis. it's kinda addictive ne. ^_^ but irritaing in a way, cos the guide doesn't have maps, and sometimes it's confusing cos all the areas look vaguely similar...... and once you run out of ammo, you automatically dump your gun, so i ran out of ammo for my infra-red gun, and niobe happily dumped it so i was anyhow whacking my way thru the sewers in complete darkness with SWAT teams chasing after me.... sighz... needless to say, i died. quite a few times before i discovered the art of focusing the scope. >< so i'm currently at a part where i'm running ard in a sewer trying to help the other rebels, onl i've no idea where i'm supposed to go cos the guide is rather.... vague..... oh yah, and i can fall off ledges to my death to. >< irritating no da, after being so used to FF and KH where no matter how hard you try you can't commit suicide. ^_^

going for CHC easter service later, then depending on wat time i get home, maybe i'll go kill more SWAT teams... mwahaahahahaha. incidentally, the rating on the game is E, but.... with all that violence, i wonder if the rating is wrong... FF isn't half as violent (wat with choking ppe to death, shooting them int he guts, breaking their necks, trhowing them out of ariplanes) but it got a T rating... or did i see the wrong thing on the game box? ^_^"

yupy yup, off to eat dinner now, must go indoor stadium later and cheong for seats...... tsk tsk tsk ja!

Friday, April 9

10:56 PM

official news: me has given up on FF7. i tried to whack emerald thinking it's easier than ruby... sad to say, i died very miserably 4 times. so. ya. i quit.... or shud i say... I KWIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

moved on to playing enter the matrix now, thanks to the ning da's suggestion and xx explaining wat strafing is to me.... fun no da!! only complaint is that the graphics aren't as pretty as FF, and the controls are a little hard to master... other than that, i'm enjoying myself greatly. ^_^ it's kinda like KH, except even more interactive..... i guess the closest thing to tie it to would be the LotR RPG. ^_________^

kk, gtg now, sis needs to use compy. ja!

Wednesday, April 7

10:30 PM

btw... i need help making up my mind.... shud i play 'enter the matrix' or replay FFX-2 after i whack ruby and emerald? current staus: lvl 82, knights of round at 3 stars, prob going to be 4 if i train to get to lvl 90. ^_^"

i really want to see the perfect ending for FFX-2, but i dunno whether or not i got the patience to go thru the whole thing again, or try to figure out where i went wrong (i know roughly where) and try to pull the file out of my memory card....... or should i just go and play niobe/ghost and kick some agent-ass? ^_^ after figuring out the guide that is.... wat is "strafing" anyway?

so....opinions? ^_^"

10:24 PM

*sulks* in the end, i didn'even get called down for the teaching interview.... sigh.... cos they need someone urgently and i can't start work there in time. >< still, there's a little part of me hoping that maybe they'll call me tmr and say something like "we just realised after a good nite's sleep that all the pple we interviewed yesterday sucked big time, do you mind skipping work and coming to our school so we can flatter you into teaching here?" ^_^ fat hope man. looking on the bright side of things, this means that i can still wake up late(r) than if i had to go to sch. ^_^ altho i'd get to go home earlier, but i shall not think abt that.

anyway, bought 2 books yesterday... "scribbles from the same island" by the crazy-cum-high-on-crack neil humphreys and... *drum roll* "the picture of dorian gray" by oscar wilde. *crazy fangirl screaming* ^_______^ it's all LoXG's fault... and stuart townsend too.... but i can claim that i'm reading a classic, so i'll feel slightly better. ^_^ but dun worry leggy, you're still number one, together with sephy. ^______^ actually, there were 2, no, 3 versions in MPH. first one which caught my eye was this really really nice leather bound one.... it looked really nice/professional/cheem/classy, i'd have bouhgt it except it cost almost $13 and the other penguin classic one, which i later found on my way to the cashier, was... $5. ya ya, cheapo. and lastly there was a small pocket edition with those gold-edged paper (like bibles) which was also almost $13.... oh yah, and they also had the "silmarillion' (however it's spelt) and the fifth book on the history of middle earth there!!!!!! I WANT!!! but, for obvious reasons, if i even brought them home, all of you can forget abt seeing me again. >< but the covers were soooo nice.... the silma-watever one was those nice all black cover with the stained-glass-flower-thingy-watever on the cover, i think like the kind that kai was looking for last time, and the history of middle earth (which included the whole tale of beren and luthien apparently) one had this painting of the white tower, i think. sigh....... hands are itching no da. ><

just watched the PMK special... it's utterly crappy and full of..... stuff..... the one who did the (mis)translation sure had sex on the brain.... the whole thing was re-translated to revolve ard getting laid..... *rofl* but my fav part is definitely where suzu was "asking" yoshida why he couldn't teach him abt the birds and the bees and yoshida simply said "i may be sexy but i'm not gay." *hlf*

ahem. sorry. this is wat happens when you spend abt 1h sorting out the stupid storeroom.... can you imagine? there're old CARPETS stored in there!!! what the heck do they need carpets for???? the lino on the floor is already good enuff!!! can't they get it out of the way so that i dun have to hurdle over all the piles of essential stuff i need just to get from the printer to the cutting machine to the door??? anywayz, all the dust gets into your brain and clogs up whatever was left of the smoothly running gears.... strangely enuff, there wasn't any effect on my xw part...... hmmm......

ya, well, work was pretty slack today. the new girl was helping me every now and then cos she got bored outside and doesn't like to take phone calls. which is actually a big part of her job tho. *rofl* so basically with 2 pple doing the job of 1, we got things done very fast. too fast. we were soo bored she ended up coming inside to 'visit' me every 15 min and i ended up shifting cartons of paper from the pantry back to the storeroom 1 by 1 cos... well, i was bored... and no i wasn't trying to show everyone my 'muscle', just that the trolley mysteriously disappeared just when i needed it most..... >< sigh, can't imagine wat it'll be like next week when the other new girl comes in, i mean, wat if it ends up as 3 pple doing 1 job?!?!?! if she gets bored outside as well!!! then all of us will be jammed in the stupid storeroom acting very busy!!!! and it's no joke in the storeroom, i already have problems moving ard when i'm there myself, wat more with 2 more pple?!?!

ya well, off to read all my fics from sunday. and i need to start writing soon...... but i dun dare to not with compy behaving so strangely lately.... maybe i'll do it the long-winded way, with my pencil (which i ahven't touched for more than a month... wow) and my heaps of rough paper. ^_^ oh, and i won't be online tmr nite even tho it's a hol the next day. going to watch 'the passion' nya. ^_^ one thing good abt being past 18, got more nice shows to watch. ^_^ then watching PotC at the club on sun. ^_^ and does anyone out there want to watch 'hellboy' with me? i need an excuse to go to orchard, got to buy lyd her b'day prezzie.... and i'm too lazy to drag myself down there for no reason on wekdays. ^_^"

10:55 AM

mo.u!sis was using com again last nite!!!! to check her bf's thesis!!!! >< deprive me of my daily dose of.... stuff. ^_^ but in a way tha's gd, cos i ended up conking out at 9.30

awnyay, got an offer to teach at st anthony's canossioan convent.... now just hope that i'll still be able to go down for the interview cos they need someone asap, but my contract only ends next fri..... *prays hard* i really want the job!!! cos if i go NUS, it'll be my only chance to get to know wat relieve teaching is like..... now aiting for my supervisor to get to work so i can ask if i can take 1/2 day or a few hours of to dash down for the interview in the afternoon...... well, wish me luck then! i'll definitely be online tonite cos sis and mum going out. *evil laugh*

Tuesday, April 6

10:58 AM

in the end, sis ended up using com the whole of last nite so obviosly couldn't go on. >< anyway, ended up playing FF7, currently running ard in the northern crater training... for wat i also dunno. went to whck sephy twic while at it. ^_^" not my fault wat...... it's a prelude to my FF7:AC fever. ^_______^ yup yup, so i think i shud be able to get knights of the round up to 4 stars.... and sooner or later if i ever get round to doing it i'll go whack emerald and ruby...... it'll be very sad if i still can't beat them by then cos i shud be at least level 85 and.... ya. so. may i not die until very sad case.

k la, off to work once again. i just realised that friday is a holiday. ^_^" sorry la.... messa very stoned the whole week i think, even tho it's only tues. it's called lack of sleep and dun want to sleep early. ^_^

ok ok, got to dash. bye pple! *waves and disappears in a cloud of sugar dust*

ps: i'm really sugar deprived now.... first one to buy me a big bar of choc gets a kiss and hug from me. ^_____^ well, ok, maybe not a kiss. ^_^

Monday, April 5

oohh... there's a PMK special on BT..... d/ling now, read some of the comments on the LJ and it's apprently hilariuos. ^_^ *wink wink*

9:43 PM

er.... actually, ning da, it's better NOT to temp at your family business.... in my case at any rate. for one..... well, it's a long complicated story, but in short, my auntie and uncle are ___________ (fill in the blank, hint: it's not a compliment) that's why even if i wanted to, my parents wouldn't let me..... then again, i'd never want to, i'd be bored to death there..... i mean, wat else can i do besides play the da lao ban's granddaughter? i bet the pple doing the sales downstairs wouldn't let me help them in case others think i'm being bullied, and the thought of doing the paperwork upstairs makes me want to cry. ^_^

work yesterday went well. thankfully. nothing happened, so i was happy and i think the pple outside were happy too. first off, IT guy (my saviour!!) finally got a brainwave and left the main computer cupboard open so that i could fiddle with it if anything went wrong. and this was after i had to ask him to help me with a printer alignment problem which ruined abt 100 cheques. ^_^" then my superior was on leave. (evil laugh. but she's quite nice actually... oh well) and the large envelopes came, so i didn't have to tape everything up in small envelopes. oh, and the brochures i requested for were delivered after i carried out brochure rationing for the whole day.... believe me, it's harder than it sounds tpo make 3000 tax relief brochures last when packing lots of cheques...

funny thing happened when the guy came to deliver the brochures, i was speaking to him in chinese when he suddenly asked if i was from china!!! *rofl* i'll take that as a compliment, cos he said that i sounded like i was from china....and, well, all of you out there know that the most i could pass off as is a brain-damaged chinese national at worst (Read:when everything comes out literally translated from english) so i've no diea how he came to that conclusion, especially when i was speaking in chinese-english mix...... and apparently chun has had a similar experience after leaving HC too... wah... dun tell me the chinese culture rubbed off so.... obviously? wat with my chinese dance, badminton etc etc. ^_~

anywayz, was told that i'd only be needed for maybe 3+ more weeks before the new girl comes in... which is a relief, actually. no regrets in getting out of that place, though the job is pretty fun. problem is that i'll have to train the new girl when she comes. O.o...... i hope she only comes in on my last day, in this case, becos really, if i'm supposed to take a week to train her, i will cry. my job is so easy the basics can be learnt in just a few hours, it's only getting the hang of it and picking up speed that takes time. so in the worst case senario, i'll be evicted from the room where i can blatantly slack (i was hemming my pants up inside yesterday to keep them from sweeping the floor when i walked. ^_^) and forced to sit at my proper desk outside doing.... nothing. ><

class dinner yesterday was fun. kind of wierd tho, for a class that never exactly cared much for the other cliques, we're suddenly so..... on abt coming together and having a meal once in a while. which is good i guess. no excuses for not keeping in touch. went to the... meritus negara something hotel for the buffet. it was cheap, $20, food was ok, but the talk made up for watever was lacking. we were taking pictures of rodney with a plant strategically placed behing his head so he looked like he had money plants growing from his head, then i had a pic with a sugar sachet with the word"sugar" written across it. oh, and the guys got their postings already, osama is going to be trained as a sargeaant and next time he'll train the recruits. ^_^ he's got plans to give our dear defence minister's son hell if he gets his company next year. chiken is going to be an MP... military police, thank goodness not member of parliament. looney ray is army clerk cos of his neck injury and danielle is going into OCS... with plans to bring his sister to the D&D if huijun isn't in townfor the event when they complete their NS.

also went to the toilet to help kayan take off her earrings... she got her first pair of earholes last year before prom and hasn't taken them off since cos its rather painful taking them off the first time round. so, anyway, we (esther, chun, xin min and myself) brought her to the toilet and after abt 10 min of coaxing, she finally let me do the honours. it was quite a funny sight apparently. cos everyone else who came in was giving us strange looks, like we were gang-raping her or haivng a catfight.... actually, maybe it looked quite that way, cos we sort of cornered kayan between the sink and the wall so that we woulnd't be blocking the way too much and cos it was the brightest spot so i could see wat i was pulling. ^_^

After that we migrated to indochine where we made a nuisance of ourselves and i left early to go home. and that was the whole of yesterday, more or less. ^_^

currently at home by myself now. mum and dad got comlpimentary passes to watch cai qin's concert. dun ask who's that cos i also dunno. ^_^ so it's the perfect time for me to start writing, except i'm not so sure whether or not i shud given the way compy is behaving lately. oh well. see how firsst, if anyone else comes online to tok then i prob won't, plus, i suddenyl got to urge to read this author's fics cos i realised that i skipped out one story between the last and cureent one that i read. not making sense? nvm, i hardly do. ^_^

okie then, shall go finish my dinner and see wat osama wants (he's asking me strange qn online again) and leave whoever's reading this really long entry to..... finish reading this last line. ^_^" bye!

compy decided to behave today i think. ^_^ but was kinda pissed most of the day at work. >< maybe it's just me, but sometimes, i feel as tho some of the pple there 'see me no up'/can't stand me. i mean, for goodness sakes, i already apologised for disturbing u when u're busy cos i dun have the stupid key to the computer that tracks all the documents up for printing, u dun have to start of the conversation with "wat's your problem?" and end with "stop touching the program ah! we want to use the printer!" (when in the end you didn't even need the printer the rest of the day.... not that it concerned me, i purposely sent a whoole bunch of documents for printing cos, well, my job requires the printing more urgently than yours. ha!) if you can't stand me asking you every other day to help me open the damn cupboard to get to the damn computer then give me the damn key la! it's not like i'll blow up the room or something, considering that i know how to use the program from watching, heck, the IT guy taught it to me so that i wouldn't have to bother pple, which would be useful except i dun have the @#$%^& key, but no.... temp pple can't be trusted not to screw up the system.... something i would gladly help them do if they really are giving me shit. i'm not being over-sensitive here, but i appreciate being treated with respect even if i'm the youngest and most junior, for obvious reasons. at least teach me wat the hell is going on and stop giving me the "you should know this by now" look when i've only been at the company for a grand total of 8 days!

sorry abt that, really was quite pissed with 2 of the staff today... in fact, i spent a better part of an hour holed up in the room black-facing the com and cursing... and i think that if anyone out there was able to hear wat was going thru my mind, they'd be surprised at how foul-mouthed/brained i was. it basically revolved ard the F word. ^_^" gomen, but pissing me off is not a very good idea, thanks to my new, improved and foul-ised vocab of swear words... but seriously, i really was contemplating hurling abuse and walking out if they tried anything funny again... i'm not hard up for cash and i dun give a damn abt the whole company. it can go to pot for all i care, just treat me with a little respect, that's all i'm asking for. i'm just hoping that it's me over-reacting cos if they really are going to treat me that way (well, some of them, not all) i would gladly quit and ruin watever reputation i have so far in my 5 weeks worth of temping. i'm already perfecting the art of anti-socialising, so it's no big loss to me.

once again, sorry. needed to let off some steam, and i do feel better now. ^_^" may the pple i work with never find out i've a blog. if they do... well. i'm not mentioning names here, so they can't do anything to me.

haiz.... temping sucks for one reason, and it's not the work. it's the fact that since you're not going to be there forever, pple overlook you cos it's no point getting to know you better since you'll be gone in a short time. then again, maybe it's also my fault cos when i want to be dao i can be very dao. and also cos i prefer shutting myself up in a room with all the machines where i can at least do watever i want (ie: turn on the radio even tho i can't exactly hear it with all the machines going on) cos i feel better abt slacking behind closed doors than blatantly in front of the whole office. other than that, i like my job, and i'll do my best not to let a few such episodes get to me. ^_^ wow, pep-talking myself, haven't done that for a long time.

now that everyone is enlightened as to wat i was doing at work today (which was basically mental cursing) there's nothing much to say now. right? ^_^" so i shall move on to happier topics before going to cheer myself up by pestering certain pple who are (un)lucky enough to be online with slightly pissed off en^2.

first off, everyone should start praying for my class, cos they'll have to put up with socially-deprived en^2 for dinner tmr. ^_______^ yup yup. going dinner with class, but dunno who's going. ^_^" osama organized it, wonder of wonders, and it's at some hotel or watever whose name i can't remember. ^_^" dun even know how much per head, but... anything to let off steam and hyperness.

second....... hm,... i dunno wat's second. ^_^" i suppose that it'd be that i';m off to sur for fics? *shrug* dunno. oh well, just hope that tmr will be a nice happy day at work, that so-and-so will be nice to me and that so-and-so remembered to order the envelopes and didn't think that it was just a casual qn when i asked for them. >< it'd be rather paiseh delivering a pile of small envelopes masking taped together to some of the big retailers cos we (read: i) ran out of envelopes large anough for all the stuff. >< and not to mention, she'd probably take it as an oppurtunity to.... nevermind. i shall stop dwelling on the topic and pretend that she is the nicest person in the whole world and that i love her and that someday i'm going to marry her. *puke*
