Narcissistic Are You?

2011-12-02T14:32:00.000-08:00

Totally LOL-ed at myself here. I need to practise on my catwalk more. Am a fan of some of her songs. And i must insist that my mandarin has not deteriorated! :D

Saw Wu Chun too but missed out on Will.i.am and Snoop Dog though. That would be more interesting.

And yes, i'm narcissistic enough to search such videos to check myself out. Hot stuff baby this evening!

Ohh and this video totally hit the nail of my thoughts on girls who dress up for their flights. Word sista! HAHAHAHA :D

Leadership.

2011-11-25T14:16:00.000-08:00

What defines a good leadership?

A question i have analysed many times over, enough to growl and stare into space unknowingly at times.

I must admit that this job is the most challenging yet. Not that i have a rich prior experience to compare to. But being thrown in the deep ocean to swim by myself aka to lead during crisis has changed me. Somehow.

Imagine having to deal with 03 major incidents back to back (major meaning it warrants the higher management's interest) and crossing over midnight on my birthday with tons of reports!

Remember that recent commotion incident because of a flight delay that happened at the airport?

Oooh yeah. This was my worst case to date. So goin into my books of bad history. Still traumatizing!

And all of these rolled in as i was being covering when my team leader took leave. Just what kind of coincidence is that?!
Swim honey swim!

To add, you are expected to think on your feet, be answerable to your team's mistakes, be the answer during crisis, correcting their mistakes while maintaing that good balance, and to top it off with a cherry, truth is, you may not even get any credit at the end of the day.

Sh** does hits the fan sometimes.

Somehow it just isnt as simple as ABC with the idea of barking instructions to your colleagues anymore huh.

But, like my favourite motto i gave to myself when you feel like the tide is going against you,

remember,

There's More to Life Than This.

And no, i did not just copy that by walking straight to the library to borrow books on positive psychology. Or a book on happiness at work. Or meditate. A lot.

So, are you a good leader? :)

Breathe me.

2011-09-28T21:58:00.000-07:00

The energy on stage was incredible.

The screams from so many fans affirmed my interest in her music even more.

And to think of all places in tiny Singapore, i get to bump into my ex-colleague at the concert, which is considered non mainstream.

And most of all, i get to attend the concert with my favourite person! :)

It was funny how i transformed into a giggly girl yellin and singing at the top of my lungs to her songs in a split second.

Lykke li IS amazing.

So, what's a crazy fan to do?

Dash to the queue for her autograph of course!

Pity that we arent allowed to take with her our smiley zealous faces for a picture.

But OMG.

Huggin her was da bomb.

It was kinda familar yet refreshing to know how that embrace ignites the breath of freedom i once had when i was in the states exactly 2 years ago.

It sets me free.

Her free spirited dancing translates into passion like what the horse did in Equus.

I'm still searching for that oomph factor.

And Lykke Li just takes it one step nearer :)

Go Indie.

2011-08-28T00:35:00.000-07:00

Omgomgomg.

I totally got Lykke Li's tix.

I was so crazy over it i got my colleagues baffled who the hell she is, and rushed home after nightshift to wait patiently in front of my computer, refreshing the page a gazillion times before i snatched the 88 bugs ones.

I'm tellin ya, it's sellin like hot cakes! All CATS freakin sold out except for CAT 4. They have like, what, single seats left? :D

Know why i love her?

Cos of this.

It literally exudes c'est la vie like no other.

Come on give it to me.

Am i right or am i right??! :D

So anyway, went to Equus.

A play. Yes.

With...well, nudity. Yes to that too.

*burst out giggles*

Thank you vanessa ko pei ling! You know how hard to find someone who knows who lykke li is and who watches equus?? We are awesome yo:)

Ok i think both of us were prolly the only 2 giggly girls when we walked into the waiting lounge for the play. I mean, all the audience are like so poised and artsy, or at least they pretend and appear to be.

Even the old dude, about 70 years old wears like suspenders, crisp white shirt, waist high brown pants so high it reaches his breast, and round-rimmed glasses. Is that your cool grand daddy or what.

Ya uh. Am i right or am i right??!

Or maybe, he just, erm checked out of Yangzhe cinema or something along that line.

Ok. Actually there's this super irritating lady sitting next to me, who swung her scarf in such a wide angle like she's in some sort of movie, and then in the middle of the play, fondle with a sweet wrapper when everyone was focusing and it was a bloody quiet atmosphere!

Why do you come. Really?

Go back to prancing around Chanel and spraying those sample perfume please.

Right. Movin on, I kinda cheated and read the prologue before i went in so i dont get lost in the midst of the literature spats. It's interesting.

It gets my insatiable insane inner beast growling for something bigger than life.

And of cos,

with the ending leaving the audience well, you know, hanging. lol

That's what his stare has been saying to me all this time: 'At least I galloped--when did you?'

The day i grew up. Kinda.

2011-08-18T23:45:00.000-07:00

I'm on twitter! Like freakin mighty finally. I know.

Despite much contempt, i conformed to the masses. :D

So watcha waitin for, follow me @Lil_luloo. :)

And wtf, at least i dont look bloated here. Look professional not! hahaha

Ohh and finally! Name in their system! :D

Have a Six Flags day!

2011-06-10T16:25:00.000-07:00

Damn. I miss the gorgeous view on Sasquatch before the drop! :))

Eat Prawn lah!

2011-05-09T11:36:00.000-07:00

Lovin the prawning session with the cuzzies. It's my first time and i'm hooked!:)

Feelin disgusted cos i had to attach the smelly, bloody clam pieces as bait, waiting for nearly 1.5 hours before the first catch (i know right), jubilant cos of a hugeee one at the last 30mins, pissed cos the guy next to us caught a big one barely 5 mins in his seat when he just started, and then another one in his 15th min seating, the 3 of us screaming our heads off with a lot of wtfs cos a huge cockroach crawled beneath us, and then giggling cos the dude on the other side bravely caught it and threw it in the pond! :D

So planning another one! Oww!

Breaking news.

2011-05-02T12:15:00.000-07:00

Ding Dong. Osama's dead!

Like hell about damn time! Yeah, literally.

The images were still so vivid when the towers collapsed cos i remember i was begging my brother to enlighten me on some stupid D&T artifact. Yeah, that's way back in sec 2.

Shit. Has it been that loong?? *face lift*

Anyway! Fellow young Singaporeans.

Heard the vans? Saw the posters? Went for the rallies?

The whole Kate Spade vs Nicole Seah entertainment just made the whole rally a whole lot more interesting for our era. Bloody hell, Nicole's only 1 year older than us! But i must say she is smart to tap on our daily frustrations to create that closer connection for "everday average citizen".

And to see how the opposition and pap shoot each other down. Driver vs co-driver concept. Pretty darn cool. Once in 5 years ok! Even longer than world cup!

So what's your vote going to be on May 7th?

It's my freakin first (wink) vote.

Well! We'll see.

Update:
Ok i'm gettin a tat too annoyed with all the ramblings and praises for Nicole Seah.
One word: Freakin overrated.
Yeah make that two.

What has she done so far besides echoing the daily frustrations of the average Singaporeans? So she saw an old lady with a roof over her head without any food and she empathize the poor elderly which inspires her to dive into politics. While the government can help, they cant be your 24/7 babysitter and deity. Do you see beggars in the streets? Are there organisations like MCYS or CDC set up for public? Do you want to vote for a celebrity or a politician? Can talk doesnt mean can do.

So please vote wisely my peers in Marine Parade GRC.

While i applaud a strong opposition to challenge and keep the government in check, remember, not just are the Singaporeans looking on, other countries are too. And no one owes you a living.

The Royal wedding of the year for our era.

It's like a real life princess diaries or something!

But with lotsa tea of course!

Dear Diary,

Today i've become the royal highness duchess of cambridge. Now my dude is the duke. Beat that!

Love,

I'm confused by all the fabulosity of whether i wanna be the lil girl or the monkey.

Gaga totally, simply, completely rocks the I in Identity.

*Sigh*

Back from a needed short break from all the political warfare.

So where to to escape the urban jungle?

Bali bali pom pi pi!

Was lucky that we avoided the Nyepi festival (Hindu New Year) from 5-6 march. All flights to Denpasar are all cancelled! And imagine all shops closed. No entertainment. No clubs. No shopping. Complete silence!

So Yes.

It was very much a mini eat.pray.love closeup.

Sunset dinners. Cultural performances. Bali bomb memorial. Temple sanctuaries. Banana boat. Jet ski. Snorkeling. Turtle island. The good ol' sun.sand.sea. White water rafting. Waterfall. Volcano. Elephant ride. Rice terraces.

Just 5 days and my hands are charred to the max. The darkest and reddest i've been!

A thumbs up. Definitely not my last visit to barley bali:)

Realist romantic

2011-02-13T01:35:00.000-08:00

Love Bruno Mars' song Grenade?

Well then. You've gotta listen to this guy. He's cracking me up so freakin bad!

And that's how we do the *SNAP*

St Jerome's Laneway Festival

2011-01-30T16:58:00.000-08:00

Na uh.

You know what they all say.

It aint life without rain, mud, beer and music!

And Laneway Festival is all that!

I swear i feel like i can breathe better with all the fellow hippies sharing similar interests gather at one tiny fort canning park! (not easy to find a jolly good indie pal fur nest sha!)

It's refreshing to see so many indiehearts out there, including spotting VJ Utt and one twin of May/Choy from MTV.

Just check out the asian with the white coat and fringe that he can flip with the uh huh charisma.

Or the chictopia peeps walking out of their own indie magazine defining their pages of fashion. Ray-bans, red podka dot blazer, heart-shape dotted tights, and oozing johnny depp persona aura.

Somebody scream with me,

OHH HELL YEAHH! I'm home!

If you are an indie fan like me,

some of the edgy and eclectic bands for line up were:

!!! chk chk chk !!!
Lady Hawke
Deerhunter
Yeasayer
Foals
The Temper Trap

Slated to be back in 2012. I must say if the prophecy or lunacy of world's end is comin,

Laneway will be a smashing good final ride indeed.

Breathe in fire.

2010-12-22T16:02:00.000-08:00

Ever seen crop circles imprinted on your back other than some really bad tattoo jobs 101?

I have.

Blimey the surprise when i saw two purplish circles on my lower back when i came home yesterday.

Only cos i have finally decided to seek TCM help on my prolonged (too long) problem of stiff neck/back and shoulders (sometimes i cant lift my head up too long, that's how bad it is). This sensei totally butchered my back and pressed SOOO freakinnnnnnnnn hard it reached my ultimate threshold of pain that i burst out sniffing and squealing in absolute pain.

And i thought the two huge men who went in earlier were wussies cos they were literally screaming in pain.

That was definitely worse than those drilling noises in a dentist clinic, hands down.

My mum was like believe it or not, giggling and AIYO-ing all the way. Thanks for the support ma. Really?

But admist all the torture and agony, you can tell the guy is an expert by the way he carried on smoothly and steadily and still manage to inject some jokes when cracking your bones, twisting your body like some handmade noodle and cupping heated whatever-you-call-that acupuncture treatment on your flesh.

Totally a WTF day.

Couldnt even turn my body properly without cringing when i was in bed.

Or lift my arm to comb my hair properly in the morning.

Solution, bite the bullet or just flip your hair from side to side and viola!

Though somehow, i felt more alive in that pain.

Cos without it, all doves invade your world with poops.

Wise words from yours truly.

Beasty facilitation

2010-12-04T23:10:00.000-08:00

Please be reminded to stuff cotton candy in your ears before clicking on "play".

Cannot reiterate how much i detest celebrity facilitation enough.

But ma, i'm famous (almost) !

And dont tease me about walking awkwardly, my ass hurts from 2 sore hours of badminton the day before!

Blast from the past.

2010-12-03T23:56:00.000-08:00

Yes ok call me a geek.

But Walking with Dinosaurs really rocks!

To those who thinks it's lame, it is!

You can see the twiggy legs of the humans controlling the dinos and plastic mechanism attached underneath the bodies of the mammoths.

But that's the closest and best damn thing you can view and experience for extinct creatures from millions of years ago ok!

And they spent like freakin 20 million dollars to construct the whole set. Take that!

I'll let the pictures do the talkin. Although kids as young as like 6 years old(?) can name all the dinos one by one. Or them shrieking and freaked out by the roars and growls of the rubber dino. Like, seriously.

But i also know ok. From kopitiam one.

Milo dino.

Lol!

*crickets call*

Ok.

Movin on.

And with that,

Click!

Welcome back to the future.

I hate you!

2010-11-07T17:14:00.000-08:00

I can never get people with rubber timing and extremely poor sense of time management.

And as if the insult isnt enough,

they turn and expect you to be PUNCTUAL for them.

Scoot to your corner and grow up already. Pls!

*shivers*

Oracle! Not.

2010-10-28T18:32:00.000-07:00

Yes ok.

So Paul the octopus died.

So what?

The world is harping on a potential squid dish next to my unagi or sashimi. I believe chances are higher that i'll cry over the wasabi than over some 8 legged species that "predicted" well.

And now,

there's a conspiracy theory and even a MOVIE (someone kill me already) that he actually died 2 days before world cup final in July.

Read artcicle here.

Wow.

BIG DEAL lah!

He's already dead meat for being placed as a circus act in front of the world to predict world cup results cos either way he predicted, which happened to be correct (whoooooooo), he'd be hated. No?

And who named a freakin octopus Paul anyway?

Wouldnt it of better use if he's used to predict if 2012 is really world's end, so we can all get laid and cry or burn the 2012 DVD if it aint true??

The darnest things people do just, wows me.

Moral of the story: This octopus is overrated. Month of october ending already what. Get it get it?! lol.

Ok. The end.

Happy ending.

2010-10-10T17:34:00.000-07:00

The Meaningless Evolution of Laughter.

Once upon a time,

On the world wide web, the baby of laughter was born.

Its name was haha.

It was used to describe anything funny,

or to pacify jokes from a trying-too-hard to be funny person,

or anything not meant to be funny like "have you had your dinner haha".

"Yeah i had chee cheong fun haha"

So, from time to come, haha's destiny is to make you roll yr eyes and be absolutely dying to ask,

are you seriously thinkin that's funny haha?

A handsome guy by the name of Question Mark was then attached to haha, and yes, they lived happily ever after.

Soon after,

The happy couple haha? gave birth to tons of children, and like most modern parents, they'd want to impress the public with unique and outstanding names people will laugh at, like seriously haha.

So ahaha + hahaha were born.

Like most proud and reproductive parents, ahaha and hahaha, went on to find true love and became parents themselves.

ahaha and hahaha passed their legacy to their children, teaching them to inherit and outgrow the laughter tradition and never let it die.

So the ambitious and eager to please new generation x were born.

ahahahah + hahahah emerged.

Because size matters, *wink*

hhahhahahahahah + ahhhahahahahah were subsequently born too.

Soon,

with globalisation,

those grandchildren dated ang mohs and laughters from all sorts of countries and gave birth to the spawn of a new generation,

lol, lmao and rofl.

Ohh wait, there's LOL too. He's just the fatter brother of lol.

ohh and lollll, she's the taller one.

Each of them shine in their unique characters.

LMAO seriously doesnt like her a**,

and rofl had issues with dust on the ground.

So with the happy genes passed on from generation to generation,

haha looked on in heavens and could not be any crappier,

i mean happier than ever.

*Abrupt end to story*

A start for beginning

2010-10-04T14:32:00.000-07:00

OMG!

Chuck.

Dexter.

gLee.

Grey's Anatomy.

They are alllll back y'all!

Wheeee!

Now, a preview of their season premiere.

What better than to introduce gLeee with good ol' Bones?!

Empire state of mind. Charice + Rachel = OMG telephone duet. New guy with billionaire try out. I'm a sold out gLeek!

After than, cross over to your dark side...

Whiny Rita is gone. Quinn is gettin on my nerves. Trinity has disappeared. Love x 3 his vent on that jacka** in the bathroom. More blood please!

Yup. Chuck is cheesy. Chuck is geeky. But geek is the new cool. Refer to the beginning of this post.

Breathless! The season finale was captivating and shocking. And now i sound like a tv freak. Great. But grey's is a worthy reason! A hot psychologist. A marriage. And a rebellious Derek. Well well. May the drama begin.

The limit has reached.

2010-10-03T17:15:00.000-07:00

My patience is wearin thin for people who treats me for granted,

and thinks the time clock or world revolves around their little previous lives.

My advice?

Get one.

Strut it. Shout it!

2010-09-12T13:30:00.000-07:00

Whoohoo!

New York fashion week is back!

I still remember when the girls and i first landed in New York, we were stunned by all the well-dressed peeps in town. Especially Soho! It's like us mortals actually brushing our shoulders with modelicious figures who just escaped from the magazine covers. No exaggeration! And when we decided on dressing up the next day, everyone seemed to do the opposite. That's when we realised that the day before was the last day of fashion week! *Kua kua kua* Lol

Jessica Simpson on NY fashion week.

"Like everyone think of me as the all amercian girl. Classic type of thing."
Remember tuna tastes like chicken?
Yupp, we'll never get tired of it. lol

I like her in The Price of Beauty on MTV though. Shows a sometimes non-bimbotic side of her.

And this is too cute! I want one of those podka dot trucks!

And as usual! On top of Grey's and Dexter which will be back for a new season, this, i cant wait!

Expansion of horizon.

2010-09-03T19:28:00.000-07:00

Wheee! I'm bacH!

Australia trip was a good escape and a satisfaction to my withdrawal syndrome from last year's great summer. So much so that when i returned to work yesterday, i totally was in a daze! Work's comin in hard and fast, and the new reporting structure revamp is driving everyone insane to say the least.

One step at a time baby, one step at a time.

(But honestly, it's frustrating! My rant will go on forever, but the gist of it all is that i'm cynical of the re-structuring although it's at its transitional phase and it suckss!)

Ok. Pictures first, rant later.

8 amazing days. Lots of major major.

The highlights:
Melbourne.Sydney.Gold Coast

I'm missing the oceanic bluish sky view that i wake up to at gold coast. And the weather in aust is like f*ckin cold can. Can go as low as 13 degrees. End of winter season so ftw.

Virgin experience for aussie. A great introduction. But nightlife is kinda boring since they close shops and attractions like as early as 5pm. Sweeet.

Now my body clock is way screwed. Adjusted to aussie timing for early night and early mornings is a shock to my body before another freakin adjustment back to my shifts for work. Totally in need to stick toothpicks in between my eyes for yesterday night. Torturous! *forcing barrels of tonics down my body*

Anyway i was seeing pics of a turkish friend who went back to six flags this year for another summer programme and i seriously am missing everything again! It's the best damn grad trip/states exposure i've had man. I miss the park, marthas, the turks, the crazy OCD girl who doesnt close the tap, the clubbing sessions, the crappings at the kitchen, the road trips and hopping on ridiculously long plane rides!

I need a therapist. NOW.

And nostalgia's a bitch. Period.

Ohh ohh. I know i might be a bit fascinated with futuristic tech but this exoerimental video is seriously FTW! Ccccheck it out!

Go on. Question your existence.

2010-08-18T13:35:00.000-07:00

I was there,

and i conquered it.

*pops champagne*

Yeahh! Board meeting was a success. Bit the bullet and just let it all go man.

No that wasnt meaning i peed my pants. lol

Believe it or not, the director threw a hardball even before i began. And then, it was firing of questions from all sides up, down and everywhere in between.

Dummy's guide for survival in the corporate jungle rule no. 1:
Gotta learn the art of the matrix in dodging or repel those bullets right back where it came from. *Wink*

Anyway!

SYOG's here. And we have our first bronze medal for taekwondo.

After many, MANY other defeats that is.

Opps, My bad.

Too sensitive about the word, "defeats"?

Fine, how about "misfortunesss"?

Feelin better?

BUT WHY AHH?!

Dont you just question why singapore is always gettin the last two positions for most of the matches?

Why do we always have to import foreign talent to help us win some glory? Where's our very own Fandi Ahmad alike?

And why is it that the hosts/MCs of the show have to be some bloody pan asians? Maybe a 4 races representatives will be more "visual"?

Ok. Whatever.
As long as the event has great fireworks and generates more tourist visits, isnt it?

Moving on,

Remember Joaquin Pheonix?
Remember his questionable act, or perhaps his real self LOL appearance on Letterman after an MIA to go into RAP?

Here it is. This is genius!

But still! I miss and will await his comeback. He's a great actor mah!

So going to watch it!

Question life. Do it.

Vessel Affair

2010-08-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

Going to a board meeting with heads and directors

for the first time and i'm bloody calm.

No, no i am.

Just that my project presentation is the first item

and i'm not nervous at all.

Now now,

SAYYY WHAAAT?!!!

Retrospective view

2010-08-03T06:50:00.000-07:00

Lots of updates lately.

Damn it. I'm thinking of finally conforming to the masses and get twitter soon.

Just so everyone can know when and how and why and what brand of buffalo sauce i spilled on my white skirt everyday.

That'll be kinda..fascinating.

Most of the images can be plucked from facebook anyway. So fb is kinda like twitter right? Except it gets irritating with all the cafeworld/farmville/petville feeds or emo posts like how they are having headache and dying of sleeping 23 hours a day or the chocolate they got from willy wonka in south africa tastes sour. And thennn??

Period.

Ok stalled memories. Here goes!

28th July 10:
Corrine Bailey Rae was awee awee aweeesome! She's the talent that can turn Que Sera Sera from childhood memory to lush brilliance hugging your soul. Period.

29th July 10:
Only one picture extracted from a volunteer's help from his view.
Got volunteers from Re. poly and interns for their help as dummy passengers.
The rest of the pics are well, kept in a vault.
A skytrain contingency exercise on a big scale.
Pretty darn exciting and anxious this one!

30th July 10:
And then, the dreadful facilitation of Lee Min Ho.
Cant see me this time. I'm at back nursing my headache with all the screams from money changers to security to crazy ass fans.
Not goin to elaborate the slight delay in his appearance.
But it involves a script, an addiction, and a passport.

31st July 10:
Company's family day!
Decided to bring my family since they havent been to universal studios before.
But naturally, if you have had the experience of other universal studios,
you'll find Singapore's one is puny on top of rides not opened.
But still, at least i can check it off my list now!

Anyway,
Look what i found on youtube admist other trashy videos!

Puts you into perspective. ;)

The noosey

2010-07-10T15:50:00.000-07:00

Well, lotsa news have caught my attention lately.

Some are comedies man, I assure you.

1. First, there was Paul the sotong, ala some of his fried squid relatives which i took the pleasure to munch on as revenge from old chang kee.

Then, there was some weirdo parrot, what Mani the parrot from Serangoon road. Yeah sure some say toa payoh maybe. *slowly forms L sign on forehead*

And then! There's like this random Pino the chimpanzee who picked the dutch to win against the espana in their face-off this 12th of July.

Like WTF?! If heath ledger doesnt jump out of his grave to scream WHY SO SERIOUS i would think this is part of the next batman parody or something.

Anyway,

let's all take a chill pill (i always find this phrase irritating btw).

My cockroach, by the name of Rodigro Gallo (he's an italian that boy) which i had the liberty to catch from the void deck yesterday says spain will win. So go spain! I trust you! *waves pom pom*

Next,

2. Ohh boy. What did the little girl i once loved in Parent's Trap got herself into this time.

For her violation of the terms of her probation from 2007 drug case, a jail time of 90 days. Period.

For any sadistic non-fans/fans of hers, catch her weepy ordeal.

Her defense attorney, the one in the video i think, actually threw in the towel and quit after the verdict! Sayin it's too harsh and unfair, blah blah. Haha ohh the drama of it all. Good girls gone wild. Way wild, rock on. Nothin a photo carrying babies in africa or adopting a chinese baby cant resolve. Wink.

3. And if you guys love the Scary Movie series, you will love Vampires Suck. lol

Well! Till our next news update. This is lulu signing out.

Will the real slim shady please stand up!

2010-06-29T18:45:00.000-07:00

Is it just me,

or do you guys find creepy staring asians...just really really creepy??

I dont mean to sterotype, but it seems to always be the bloody asians/singaporeans who always make a staring habit at any passerby, tom dick jane or apple, who walk past them.

And by staring, i go by the definition of allocating and maneuvering both your eyeballs to follow the walking figure for a period 7 secs - freakin 2 mins.

Sometimes, they even have to tilt their head to the direction of you walking just so they can practice setting fire on you with their incredible mind power.

Mind you, it happens so frequently i just suspect if there's some digital locking system of target installed in asians generally or something.

Jeepers creepers!

I really dont see many caucasians STARING at you unless they are checking you out or well, maybe you simply forgot your nipple stickers.

Reason?

It's bloody rude! That's what!

Look dudes, or creepy ladies, or whatever you are,

unless i've rainbow coloured hair, or a nose boogy that's leftover from yesterday stuck on my cheek, or sashaying in orchard road naked,

Or unless you are d.beckham with smothering eyes and washboard abs,

you simply, simply dont stare!

Aptly put,

Kua si mi? (or See What See?!)

It's like,

Easy, breezy, beautiful! Cover girl.

Anyway!

I just came across this article about Washington FBI discovering 10, possibly 11 alleged "deep-cover" russian spies embedded in the states doing secret assignments for the russian federation.

Whoa! Is that reel life drama or what! Machiam like the movies ala mission impossible or something in real life man!

Makes you think twice about the possibility of your best friend being a secret agent or aliens disguising as humans on earth doesnt it?

Ok. Maybe not.

Ohhhhhhhhh.

I knowww now.

Those staring asian creepy crawlies must be spies!

Homosapiens! Yikes! We have been invaded!

*shrieks and run away*

Now, what are you looking at?

It's the first contact!

2010-06-23T01:32:00.000-07:00

MTV movie awards 2010 was pretty cool.

Lots of smoochie smoochie kissy kissy scenes i must say.

Scarlett johansson's awkward smooch with Sandra bullock was lol but kinda hot.

Plenty of screen shots of fizzy haired sexy british tongued russell brand + a very weird blue haired katy perry/ california gurl mix. Question was, is that a wig?! And no, that wasnt referring to russell's hair.

Tom cruise persona from Tropic thunder + j.lo 's dance was a smash.

And my god. Draco malfoy as the best villian from Harry Potter?!

Honey, you aint scaring sister here with no juice or gibberish dictation young, euro,

blonde haired, typical blue eyed, but a disgustingly sexy british tongued..chap.

And well!

Moi fav segment?

No awards for guessing it right.

The best kiss award of cos!

Gotta love the random "love cam" zoom on zac afron+vanessa hudgens, shaun white+his gf, etc, and omg, russell+Jonah's was hilarious!

Naturally, almost all the awards goes to the "best" show/actors of the century ala bella/edward/jacob twilight saga.

Wowee, shock me.

Anyway,

I'm sure all the hormonal charged female homosapiens are getting their love eyed glasses ready for the July premiere of Eclipse. Myself included yes. What! Guilty pleasure ok.

But i can also never get tired of making a dig at the saga like everyone else.

LOL!!

That's totally lmao+rofl worthy for me in the middle of the night alright.

Hey, Soul People!

2010-06-05T13:38:00.000-07:00

Omg.

This is seriously freaking me out.

But,

It's still hell of a fascinating phenomenon somehow!

Remember once upon a time i once posted an entry about the Simian Line?

http://littlelulu-reigns.blogspot.com/2009/01/caution-awas-watch-out-just-friendly.html

It's a perculiar form of palm that one possess which looks kinda like this -->>

Just a line across with heart + head lines fused together.

Looking at your palms now?

If your hands look like this, let me know!

We'll go..conquer the world and then grab coffee or something. lol

So after that time when i found out from Philip that he has a double simian crease, i went on frantically to find others like us.

To a point i was obsessed in looking at others' palms every now and then.

So next time when i'm chattin with you and i seem to be focusing on your hands instead of listening to you, please kindly understand. lol

But hey!

Listen to this.

Since then,

I've found not 1,

not 2,

NOT 3,

but bloody 5 of my colleagues who have a simian crease at Changi Airport! With 1 being my intern and 1 as the trolley observer some more!

Which is uber duper rare cos only 13% of freakin asian population has it on at least one palm.

And out of these 5, only 2 have it on both hands! Which we constitute only 1% of freakin world population! *shrieks and run away*

And on top of that, i manage to gather only 1 of my uni friend so far who has it on both. Absolutely blows my mind i'm tellin ya.

It's like rounding up the extraordinary league of gentlemen for some x-men gathering or something.

KAPOW!

And no, i wont give up finding the others ever. It's like my life mission or something. Can't explain it. :)

To find out more, go to

The sanctuary.

2010-05-21T22:24:00.000-07:00

OMGOMGOMGOMG.

Why do grey's always make me ball my eyes out so much all the freakin time!

Boy do i HEART GREY'S WITH ALL MY BLOODY HEART!

How can anyone not like the show?

The finale just simply blew me away.

To a gazillion pieces.

As usual!

You've to get used to me being all emotional and worked up this time every year.

This entry will be rants and raves about the show, so people who are not fans of it, well,

too bad.

Next!

*Spoiler alert!*

Well where do i even begin.

May i first say it was probably one of the best episodes yet!

Wait, you already knew that.

It had not 1, not 2, but bloody 5 major characters gettin shot!

Yeah not your camera gets click click kinda shoot but real gunfire kinda bam bam!

*shrieks and runs away*

Ok, first it was reed gettin shot. Damn was that shocking. For the first shot! Right in the head somemore! But about damn time cos she's so annoying and redundant to be kept in the show.

Then it was more haywire cuckoo gunfire at random nurses and docs and bam! Alex took a shot. Crawled into the elevator and wait to die/get noticed.

And then there's the preggy surprise from Meredith,
the deranged April from all the trauma (those eyes from reed, damnn),
the bailey/charles/mandy moore dying or undying emotional moments.

My god.

Bring on more popcorns ma!

Thereafter, it was mcdreamy and owen down, with both girls tryin to save the other's guy.

*sigh*

Ohh ohh and throw in some alex/lexie/mcsteamy + callie/arizona drama and bam!

You have an absolutely awesome drama series!

Well done Shonda Rhimes. Well done.

A good time to eliminate the Mercy Westers too! About time!

Now i'm left with the stupid anticipation for the next season and i cant bloody wait!

Shit hits the fan.

2010-05-10T11:30:00.000-07:00

Prolly the best description of my feelings about the revival of the volcanic eruption.

http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2010/05/dear-eyjafjallajokull-and-rest-of.html

Lol. Wahh laoo. It's gonna be shit hittin the fan, Again.

Aka i dont wanna go to work mann!

*Major sigh*

But anywho,

have you read the Home section of the Straits Times on May 3rd?

There's a freakin feature of my job position cos of Changi ranking no. 1 (sooner or later) on Skytrax this year!

Yeahh i'm proud. :)

(Although it might be a weee bit better/Perfect if my face is plastered on it. haha!)

Double standard.

2010-04-30T21:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, korean celebrities are so goin to the bottom of my list.

No i dont have anything against Koreans (other than their MCP attitude for some men),

just that their post plastic surgery faces on tv in those uber ssssslllooooowww witted drama series can be deceiving.

But they somehow always manage to sweep girls / xiao mei meis in singapore off their feet!

So every time they land in Terminal 2 (opps! Ohh well, open secret anyway),

I'll be the first to sigh and flip every thing in the office upside down.

But hey,

One day (today) out of boredom, i youtubed the arrival of Kim Junsu & Junho (whoever they are) and tadah!

Look ma! I'm on candid camera!

*Warning! Please remember to turn your volume down. Dont say i didnt warn ya!*

So totally screaming for me at 0:21. lol

Feels weird seeing myself in video.

Anyway, two aspirin pills please!

Yes yes ok fine.

If it's lady gaga, then will it might be a different story.

But that is different!

International star VS unknown xiao mei meis' idol is so heaven & earth, right? Right.

Escapism while it lasts.

2010-04-24T16:24:00.000-07:00

Cliche movies. Cheesy plot. Method acting. Predictable endings.

We have all seen them.

But this head turner, yes still a wee bit cliche in a sense (think, beauty and the beast) seems pretty interesting!

And the cheesiest guilty pleasure i cant resist.

Or throw in a foreign movie very now and then.

Je Presente after Coco Avant Chanel, there's Coco Et Igor.

If you love Amelie, You'll love this film by the same Director Jean-Pierre Jeanet.

Man, just by watching the trailers, feelin cultured already?

Or you can catch a movie based on best selling novels that are inspiring.

Or or a typical romantic comedy for some lighthearted entertainment.

So go on.

Indulge in some escapism every now and then.

Afterall, we all have enough on our plates for the crap that surrounds us everyday.

Yes, shit happens.

But grab everything else while it lasts.

Wink.

I kid you not.

2010-04-19T18:30:00.000-07:00

What's worst than messing with a Pmsy lady is to add fuel when she's facing a busy week ahead because of work aka volcanic eruption crap. Flights get disrupted and incidents pile to a record high on top of that.

Yes, not even children are spared.

Remember in those days as a child, when we are all young,

we decide to prank call someone cos of truth or dare, or simply out of boredom for some giggly fun with your friends?

Yup a child who has his/her impending death wish written is played back.

**Warning to self: Ok the following is goin to potentially ruin my mature and elegant self, but the exhausted and stressed up lulu cant give a *toot* for now**

When i was making an urgent call,

Darth Vader Wannable calls and cuts in at 1734hrs and 1736rs to be exact tryin to be funny by whispering some crap into my phone, probably hoping i'll drop it and run away shrieking in horror for the next 100 miles or something.

But of course, what's fun when you can continue.

So, Darth Vader Wannabe texts back: "Death shall be upon you tonight."

Now now. That's when the fun begins.

With my patience running, i replied curtly,

"Yeah ok F*** OFF".

Whoo! Never felt so great before.

Darth Vader Loser: "Death is coming at might. NO KIDDING".

Ohh yes i'm sure you kid not.

This is the part where i smirk, and rub my hands together in joy.

Me: "Please spell night with an N. Kiddo. Now go play with yourself."

Darth Vader still pressing on: "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A KIDDO?! I AM THE GHOST BUGIS. DEATH TONIGHT I REPEAT!"

All in bold certainly conveys the message well. And wow, i think Wisma Atria sounds better, dont you think? More central somemore.

So i went on reminiscing childhood practice. Old school stuff ya know.

Me: "Ok. No need repeat i got you the first time. The police already has your location. They are on the way. U r messing with the wrong person. KIDDO."

And with that, the almighty silence.

Man, a free punching bag is hard to come by.

But when it does, grab it by its balls. *Wink*

Smile and Dream.

2010-03-18T10:52:00.000-07:00

Caution

Just decided that this will be an entry to lift all your spirits up and pull a little muscle upwards at the side of your lips.

Sang by Zooey Deschanel (lovee her) and Production by M Ward (who also co-wrote one of Cat Powaa's album).

So what are you waiting for?

Forget about any s*** hittin the fan.

Life's too short.

Smile for cuteness today! ;)

Yes, ok yes fine.

This is a deception. Just so you guys can..

Walk away.

2010-03-12T12:16:00.000-08:00

The era of mistresses revelation and remorse of cheating husbands has arrived. Again.

And again.

And yes, in the future i foresee.

First it was Tiger in the woods, followed by John Terry from England (now ex England's captain), and now, the Jack of all but a possibly degrading trade Neo.

What do they have in common?

They were deemed as role models y'all.

Tiger - for children and good sportsman
Terry - voted by UK Dad of the year 2009
Jack - cultural mer merr medallion holder of mighty Singapore.

Believe it or not, i'm goin to be one of those b****es who refuses to buy his public apology. It just seem too staged!

Watch this yourself. Drama is always required to "make an impact".

S'pore film-maker Jack Neo's press conference on Yahoo! SEA @ Yahoo! Video

And how dare he dragged his silly but seemingly "love blinded wife" (but noble nonetheless, awarded by perhaps Prince of Persia.) to speak with his supposed disgraced self in front of the press aka Singapore. A female figure like his grandma or mother or female puppy would probably have done a better job. Ohh, and of course, MOREE tears people! ACCCTION!

Ohh well. Not that i give a damn, but this is some serious reality drama much better than American Idol for some popcorn action! And dinner table conversation to tide over the awkward moments/silences with weird relatives!

Since his wife can forgive him that much, than we public have nothing to say. But i personally would like to bestow her for the IWEMW Award of the year. Ideal Wife Every Man Wants.

I mean come on. Which child wouldnt want to go have his break every now and then, steal some food and hide. And then do it again cos the mother "pretended not to see"?

It's all but a childhood hide and seek game we love to play for the thrill, aint it?

Damn, daddy had fun. Lol.

I'm sure some guys who are havin TMS aka Testosterone MENstrual Cycle will go yada yada on how they will never ever cheat, etc.

Yeah. Ok.

So as i was sayin,

What's best was A Nan's ZHOU KAIIIII!. Really a classic scene typical of his movie per se.

So, where are the tix for this show again?

Ohh and another drama right in our heartlands must be this Romanian diplomat's car accident case. Feels like a movie scene just jumped out of the big screen into our lives can! It's said as Ren Shen Ru Xi, Xi Ru Ren Shen. So apt.

Evidence of eye witness who threw stone at his window, taxi driver issued receipt cos he was kiasi and kiasu, and now a police CCTV (which surfaced so long after) are now condemning that tiko and denying ahh chek to be prosecuted. Tsk tsk, what can i say?

C'est la vie y'all.

C'est la vie.

Lo an Behold.

2010-02-25T13:42:00.000-08:00

You see! What did mama tell ya!

The future aint that far away!

Lo and behold!

Although although, i hate to be a wet blanket, to myself (I know, i love my contradictory alter ego too),

lol no it aint perfect. Yet.

His gesture movement inspired technology aint that pioneer actually.

Prodigy Labs in India is already one of the first to adopt Hewlett Packard's gesture based keyboard technology. Plus, HP already announced pen-based tech like 4 years ago.

And oh, anyone played wii? That's gesture based mah.

Think:
+ Sensor stickers on fingertips, what holds it there? Who wanna wear them 24/7?
+ Any auto colour senses for legibility on different surfaces?
+ Bulky helmet? Hello.

Yup, all still in the intial stages. Very primitive indeed.

But his foundation of incorporating physical senses into the digital enterprise is well, brilliant.

Imagine the change you can do to hear the mute boy, or read the thoughts of an autistic child, or blink to take a pictorial evidence of that underwear thief, orrr calculate the diameter of the mole of that dao geh plucking aunty downstairs. Whoa.

Scary isnt it. Uncle Ben says with great power, comes great responsibility. Cos it can be dangerous also!

But butt, wait till the technology shrinks into say, a badge, a pin, or contact lens, or your manicure, or if you really really want, pedicure,

then we can truly exclaim,

Noww, *nods* we're talking.

Dammnn i can be sucha nerd sometimes.

It.

2010-02-23T20:35:00.000-08:00

Yupp this is it.

No, not the MJ version of it.

But marriage kind of IT.

One of my uni friends just got hitched.

One consolation is at least that he's not the same age as me.
Yes, he's much older.

So *shove him aside slowly* he belongs to another category.

Nope it doesnt count at all.

Cos i said so.

And at least i'm not invited to the wedding.

So what the heck am i complaining about you may ask.

First of all, i aint complaining. I'm merely whining. Now that's a diff. Wink.

Second, ever seen a snowball rolling about with the smirk down the hill in front of ya?

I have.

This is only the beginning.

Sooner or later, more red flowery, scary looking cards that scream "HA! Loser! Open me and admit you are an ABM!" will slowly pile up in the letterbox over the years, reminding me how much of singlehood i'm exactly basking in glory.

How, very exciting.

Ok ANYWAY!

Remember the days we used to watch power rangers and jump on the sofa impersonating your fav ranger and probably buyin those stick pop ice cream which you have to push them out to eat while watching the show?

This is bloody hilarious!

Sweeet. Dude where's my car?

2010-02-10T11:30:00.000-08:00

I GOT MY FREAKIN' FIRST PAYCHECK!

The fweeling is so sweet indeed.

GIMME GIMME MORE!

WORKEE WORKEE LESS!

Right, who am i kidding.

But that also means i'm goin solo soon! Aka takin charge (Whitney Houston) All By Myself! Die liao lahh. Any emergency and if you see me gettin screwed, this'll be what it's like.

Newsflash on BBC/CNN/CNA/CHN5/Lulu news: "Personnel gets fired! Shame shame!"

Anyway!

CNY is comin.

But i've no feeling!

And that happens to be valentine's day too.

Even more stone cold!
Lol.

Cant help it lahh. I'm wearin my badge proudly, on my left shoulder 3 fingers down to be exact, spelled "Ms ABM", aka (Whitney Houston) All By Myself! Gotta polish and get used to it.

Goin do some last min shoppin tmw though. Nothin beats CNY for the new clothes and shoppin therapy!

And bye Nessa! See you real soonish!

It's an iWorld.

2010-01-28T16:36:00.000-08:00

Ladies and gentlemen.

Do not hesitate to be in awe.

The new revolution has finally begun.

You know in those movies, like The Fifth Element,

they like to exaggerate the future into a world where people travel on flyin cars,

or floating food stalls right beside your window,

or touch screen technology like those in Minority Report or Avatar?

Today,

A little guy of that new era has appeared.

Introducing the new,

*drum roll*

iTampon.

I mean,

the iPad of course.

Yes, it isnt perfect.

No camera,

looks like a spawn between a giant itouch + mini laptop w/o keyboard,

and the marketing peeps on the video, omg seriously are a lil creepy in a way.

Although i've gotta give them props for their seemingly ultimate passion and enthusiasm showing in their enlarged pupils and tone each time they try to show off the new device and function when they speak.

At least there isnt spurts of mouth goo every now and then.

Now on the iTampon,

you can do anything u have on your iphone,

except calling and smsing naturally.

In addition,

it is evidently highly portable,

you can do multiple selections and storage of ibook e-reading,
(but nothin still beats the primitive satisfaction of holdin and flippin a new page of a hardcopy book for me. Yeah, i'm an old lady)

and watch youtube videos in high resolution,

and have a good battery life of about 10 hours, which knocks out 3Gs hands down,

in which the "s" in iphone 3Gs probably stands for "suck battery".

A baby step nonetheless.

Plus, it looks slick and accessible with it's thin 9.7 inches dimension.

I simply cant wait for the day everyone of us holds a tablet like this to teach,

to conduct meetings,

to surf on the trains or our own teleportation chambers,

typing away on the keyboard-less tablet acting busy and officey.

Welcome everyone,

to the beginning of the iRevolution.

Speechless.

2010-01-22T01:32:00.000-08:00

You know in those era of your parents or grandparents or Qing Shi Huang, they have their own favourited artiste/singers, like Theresa Teng, Prince, Micheal Jackson, Madonna, Fei Yu Qing or whatever and so on in the 90's or 50's or 800 BC?

Not that we dont enjoy their music as Gen X or Y.

I mean, this is still my favourite video of all time.

But,

I cant help but be drawn to this singer of my ultimatum.

From poker face to love game to paparazzi to bad romance to world tour to waving hi to Lois in Singapore to Grammys to Oprah.

O.M.G

Never have i been so Gagatrified before.

Combining 1 cup of talent, 3 tablespoons of fashion, and a pinch of quirkiness,

and you cook a sensation like never before in an amazing 15 months.

Imagine in the future when your children or nieces/newphews or great grandchildren will be switching on to MTV (presumably not dead still) and bam, they see a crazy chick with frogs on her body or wrapped in a bloody red face veil or spikes in the most unexpected places,

jaw dropped and with faces like a classic eminem (m&m)

Now,

that's the part where i tilt my rocking chair at age 82, put on my gaga sunglasses and draw a lightning bolt across my left cheek in shaky hands,

whack them with my walking cane,

and yell without my two sets of teeth,

"walk walk fashion baby!
Work it.
Move that bitch crazy!"

A revolutionary Gaga is certainly my kind of the 90's i'll look back on.

And no,

I aint bluffin with my muffin.

You are the greatest.

2010-01-14T00:55:00.000-08:00

*Edited Video Added*
(Yes, it's still from youtube. But still!)

YESsssss!

Scoreee!

So basking in awesplendidness back-to-back these couple of days.

I'm certain i can sleep really soundly tonight cos cat power cradled me to an ultimate zen mood with her splendid voice and awesome band. Especially the afro hair drummer dude. So cool!

Almost 80% of the audience gave her a standing ovation! Bravo my chan!

Now, let it roll.

Let us croon and swoon.

She totally distributed roses to most of the front row peeps (whyy?!) at the end of the concert and omg, we all went wild when she decided to throw like her reference papers of (i'm sure) powerful content to the crowd. Although they're just papers y'all! lol

I think her sweat might at least sell more on ebay and yes, they'll still buy it lol.

Couldnt take many pictures cos the ushers were chasing one after another like hawks in the dark! Kinda like a joke really. So most of us went sneaky sneaky, in cat's spirit of course!

Would love to post a short video of yesterday's and today's performances that i took but they load wayyyy too slow!

But stilll, thank goodness for partenaire dans le crime like you! nessa! who appreciates the same kind of music/movies/nonsense stuff! Not easy to find ok. ;)

So yes, one last song before i hit the sack soon with the greatest song swimming in my mind ;))

I think that i'm bigger than the sound!

2010-01-13T01:10:00.000-08:00

*Edited Video Added*
(ripped from youtube but still!)

YEAH YEAH YESSS!!

Indeed indeed indeed.

Well well well.

What can i say say say?

They dont love you like i love you..

*trail off in maps song*

It was totally awesome + Ssssplendid-ness!

And what do you get from such an equation?

Awesplendid!

Didnt have those SLR cameras, so i'll make do with a meagre 3 megapixel iphone camera!

Now, let the pictures do the briefing.

The opening act + crazy cheers and screaming.
Yes, it was a quirky eyeball staring right back at ya.

Everyone just started rushing to the front stage once it started! Might as well pay the lowest tix price and chiong ahh!

They have those big bouncy balls allowing the crowd to hit it and of course, the crowd went wild. Pretty easily hyped up if you ask me. It's well, Karen O afterall.

As expected,

She didnt disappoint me at all.

How could she,

With her neon green tights and glow in the dark coloured dyed shirt, funky flowy hairdo, with the occasional different headscarves and squirting of water or putting the microphone in her mouth or or twirling around on stage exuding a free birdie vibe?

So freakin cool.

Now, a preview.
May we all stand for O-someness.

Next up!

Cat Powaa!

When i say yeah you say yeah!

2010-01-12T14:52:00.000-08:00

I freakin passed my freakin driving test!

Not that those on facebook havent known or heard about it.

But i just have to rave about it once more.

It's the 3rd try, but so what. You can still drive a car at the 100th attempt.

So moral of the story,

Driving is overrated. Lol eat that!

So well i was watching the tv for an ad about tvs,
and this is way cool. As a lil bit of a tech geek myself, it's so slick.

I want one in my room!

And with the rumour of Apple coming up with a revolutionary 12/13 inch portable handwritten/touchscreen PDA (public display of affection) tablet and a 4G iphone soonish like less than a year or two,

all i can say is,

Welcome to the future guys.

Yeah so anyway, today is 12th.

Which aka means DATE WITH YEAH YEAH YEAHS!!

Cant wait cant wait!

I wanna see Karen O and her quirky style and her insane screaming and rock n roll jamming with the band so bad!

If you dont like indie music, you probably havent heard of them or bother to know who they are.

But i was totally mesmerised by their Blitz album during in flight entertainment on my way back from the trip the other time, and thankfully good gosh it kept me entertained throughout the long hours.

So pardonez moi while i go prepare myself a pom pom for the concert later!

YEAH x3!

And then,

Come the 13th,

which aka means tomorrow for the DATE WITH CAT POWER!

Ahhh!

I'm so goin to stick those double happiness sticker for marriage on my door, like now.

Dont tell me you dont who she is as well?!

She's well featured in lots of movies/tv shows like My Blueberry Nights and Juno.

Ok nevermind.

She's just plain awesome!

Such unique tone in her voice.

So to end this entry with a soothing note,

Je presente Cat Power.

Last days of 2009.

2009-12-22T18:20:00.000-08:00

Jingle bells jingle bells...

Yeah!

The holiday season is back!

Dont you just love the cooling (GIMME GIMME MORE!!) weather this time every year?

Sigh.

Yet another year has passed.

It's just 9 more days to another brand new freakin year!

And probably just 2 years and 9 more days to world's end if you believe the mayans in end of the world 2012 yo! (2012 is a crap movie to me by the way, not denying the possibility that we may fall into the great pit when the world crumples except south africa according to the movie by any far fetched miracle lol)

2009 is by far the best and most fulfilling year for me (WAT, visiting katherine, graduation, getting job offers, taming my lioness hair yearly, etc)

Although, it's also the most eventful on the global basis (H1N1, MJ, Brittany Murphy, economic crisis, tiger woods, my personal flu bug since 2007, etc).

Anyhow,

Would like to give a shout out to all my friends who listened to my dilemma and even called to check which decision i finally made (being kpo may be a virtue) last friday.

Totally couldnt sleep for 2 days and transformed into bai fa mo nu aka white hair she devil overnight can.

For the guy who offered me the game theory job in the end,

Eat that! Ha! (may just turn around to bite my ass next time but for now, i'm young and reckless and lovin it)

Hope there aint no regrets though!

And yeah, you guys rock!

So to celebrate the joyous occasion,

let's us sing along to the 12 days of christmas with Jimmy Kimmel and Norah Jones while we continue to flip a new page to write a new beginning of our life every year.

To a fresh and fabulous start,

Cheers kiddos.

Intuition much?

2009-12-21T12:42:00.000-08:00

Call it weird.

But creepy couldnt be anymore apt.

The past few days my mind kept floating and resurfacing with the name Brittany Murphy.

I thought it was just like any random piece of idea drifting in my sea of thoughts that stayed for some time.

And no,

I didnt tell anyone. I mean who'd have cared if you tell people "ehh! The name bugs me. How ah?"

Those who thinks it's an interesting conversation starter raise your hands.

See.

So just a few days ago,

my bro pointed at Dakota Fanning on the poster of New Moon and asked who she is.

And i was like rolling my eyes,

"Rem her? She grew up so well. The little girl who acted in Uptown girls."

Cos promptly my mind was still echoing with the name B. Murphy.

Of all movies that Dakota acted with and in, somehow i could only remembered that movie that she acted at that point in time.

And it wasnt even that well received.

Today,

I was shocked.

Brittany Murphy was pronounced dead at age 32 2 hours after she fell unconscious in the shower due to cardiac arrest and was discovered by her mum.

Omg.

And it's just before christmas.

What a year.

And i always loved her cute husky voice in Just Married!

And her infectious laughter.

R.I.P to a sweet young talent.

I hate inter-yous.

2009-12-12T11:50:00.000-08:00

I've gotta admit.

Yesterday's interview has to be the highlight of all interviews.

So nevermind the pay isnt as expected, or that it's a contract job,

I just wanted to go see go see before i decide on anything.

I was doin well in all interviews, pretty ok and all, until they shot me this question.

"So you took managerial economics. You can tell from my question that i have taken it before. So what can you tell me about the game theory?"

*Thunder roars from a distance*

Taking a second to swallow a gulp first,

I proceeded to give my best shot of whatever my memory can help at that tense moment of game theory.

Yes, i smoked a bit (in case you are wondering, it's an opium pipe) in the beginning,

in ra ra uh uh uh fashion,

until bam!

I remembered about the prisoner's dilemma and just blasted off from there.

Wahh heng ahh!

At least can remember something ok!

After bloody 1+ year since i took the subject can!

And they have like what, 4 people interviewing me?

Siao! You think manager position meh?!

Bottomline,

i think interviews are just a facade to see how you talk, and your first impression and if your breath stink.

And that they suck! lol

Anyway,

this video is not a bad attempt in mashing all of lady gaga's chart toppers!

Symmetric charm.

2009-11-19T12:57:00.000-08:00

I'm still very much disturbed and embarrassed how the tofu slipped to the side of my lips when Chilli and I were eating in that cool japanese restaurant.

I mean, no surprise.

That's like an everyday sight of me.

Yeah, totally with tofu falling and caressing my cheeks.

But that wasnt all. (I always am prepared for my life for such moments and such a statement)

This guy sittin beside our table, by any coincidental meteor shower chance, happened to turn and our eyes met.

Usually, people will go,

awww. This is the beginning of a love story.

Ehh! So freakin wrong.

The tofu was totally dancing in the midst of my cheeks, waving hi.

And the both of us just completely burst out laughing!

Two strangers.

One tofu.

How very romantic.

*sigh*

How am i going to find love like that?!

Awkward cannot be anymore attractive.

Anyway,

I know i'm delayed in viewing these 2 videos.

8th of sept where that banner was dropped in times square! Didnt catch it! AHHH!

But.

I think my laptop just burst into flames.

Brash Brush Asians.

2009-11-11T17:40:00.000-08:00

So I was meetin and catchin up with some of my friends over the past 1 month (already?! wow.) that I've been back, and the most common question I've been asked is if there's actually racial discrimination over there.

I mean, it was and still is, part of my curiosity before i depart, and really,

I would say, not any obvious gang banging or vulgar abuse or mouth fluid omitted and landed on the ground that I know of or seen when i was there.

So no, there isnt any obvious racial discrimination that i have witnessed through the naked eye (yeah i just have to put in the naked word so i'm at ease).

Although although, there's this bitarch from work, Amanda, whom most of the Asians, if not all the international students workin over there hated.

To think about it, i think she pretty much picked on me more than once.

So what's a stereotypical "more hardworkin" and "intelligent" Asian to do, but to fight back?

The typical day of the first confrontation happened like this.. *thinking bubbles*

Wan jun and i were just knockin off from a long day at work on a weekend, at the fated time of about 9plus pm, Amanda the Security stood at the exit.

So she spotted the two gorgeous ladies sashaying towards her, and decided it's time to have some fun.

*Caution: the following segment will require additional entertainment products to further enhance your viewing pleasure. Popcorns are welcome*

Her: *Very bluntly*
"TUCK in your shirts."

Wj: decided to ignore her and walk straight on.

Her: *walked backwards a little and stopped us*
"Tuck in your shirts. It's the park policy. This is a warning."

Wj: "No why should we tuck in our shirts"
*continue walkin on*

Her: "STOP i said stop! Give me your ID."

Wj: "Nope we are already near the exit. And we're goin home."
*walkin on*

Her: "STOP and SHOW me your ID."
*all the while backing and stopping us*
*Withdrew her walkie talkie*
"I'm callin my supervisor now. Stop and.."

Wj: "Ohh let him come."

The whole time my brain froze and was too nonchalent to what was actually happening (i've no idea why i was feelin nothin). Honestly speakin, if it was me alone, i would have just tucked in my shirt (WHICH WAS SO FREAKIN TUCKED) and pulled my pants so high it'll reach my breasts just to show her point. Then roll my eyes 10 times over in front of her and call it a day.

But then,

what's a drama without a fight and shooting stars?

With Amanda blocking my vision the whole time,
I decided to chap in and talk her out.

Me: "Look Amanda, just let us go. Why are you always pickin on us?"

Her: *fake laugh*
"I'm not pickin on you guys. My grandfather is an asian too! His name is Tan Ah Teck!" (or whatever, i cant and dont bother to remember)

And her comment just did it. *light bulb fuse fickler*

Me: *finger wavering in font of her*
"I DONT CARE WHETHER YOU ARE AN ASIAN OR CAUCASIAN HERE. You are obviously pickin on us!"

A couple of remaining guests are startin to catch on the commotion. And then, Ben, the supervisor finally came. After comprehending the situation from Amanda, he escorted us aside.

Ben: "Look lets not create a scene here. Calm down calm down."

Wj: "It's already so late after work. Cant you (amanda) just close one eye and let us go?"

Ben: "Ok calm down. I understand i understand."

Me: "I dont understand why she's always pickin on us. Look, we didnt come all the way from Singapore to receive this kind of Shit here."

Yeah, ok i might just need anger management. Lol.

Ben: *chuckle* "Right i understand"

So there and then, our badge numbers were taken down and we went home feelin sooo freakin pissed.

But shuang man! Who ask her anyhow anyhow pick on people.

Go all the way to the states to fight with an angmoh. Lol so my brother says.

This video cracked me up and triggered my memory on the incident.

And just in case you guys wondered what happened after that,

I'm still typing here, safe and sound.

Although although Amanda still continued to pick on me even on my last 2nd day of work.

But everyone lived happily ever after,

And I chewed her head off.

The End.

Change.

2009-10-21T11:58:00.000-07:00

OmgOmgOmgOmg.

There's going to be a freakin Universal Studios Singapore opening at Resorts World Sentosa!

In early 2010!

Which is aka really soon!

To think they kept the suspense and released the news to the media only now.

Ohhh what a tease.

A few of the attractions and rides mentioned like Revenge of the Mummy or Jurassic Park Rapids adventure and waterworld, as well as Stage 28 are some of them i've visited in Orlando.

And based on the picture featured, it looks like Sueling Dragons is coming too! It's one of the best roller coaster ride in Islands of Adventure, with two separate coasters moving off simultaneously, and then meetin for a brief moment in an almost 270 degree turn in mid air.

In freakin opposite directions!

Wow,

now they are bringing a few to Singapore.

Nice move dude. It's so going to rake in some money in the tourism arena.

So many freakin changes since.

From Ion orchard to the wet market near my home (opening soon),

I feel like an old lady who doesnt want so many changes so fast.
(and to top it off, i DO have bad backache which i'll moan whenever i bend down. How ah?!)

Just to remind myself,

it's been only 3 months that i was gone right?

ohh, bama.

2009-10-10T14:12:00.000-07:00

Obama freakin won a nobel peace prize!

And mind you, it's less than a year after he took the office on Jan 20th.

For a 48 year old,

Being a world leader, making progress in his promise to reduce weapons of mass destruction and bringing the Israeli and Palestinian leaders together for a meeting, approved new diplomatic engagement with Iran, Myanmar and North Korea aint easy feat y'all!

Gettin an award for these is simply too cool!

Besides, he's the only president after Theodore Roosevelt (25th president) and Woodrow Wilson (27th president) to win the award.

And no, i'm not a nerd who memorizes the presidents of US.

I just happen to have the mouse pad which i bought from my trip to count.

Lol.

What.

YES WE CAN!

Sand in my shoes.

2009-10-05T14:58:00.000-07:00

Been there, done that.

Withdrawal symptoms.

Someone told me it's perfectly normal.

Jet lag.

Someone told me it's perfectly normal too.

But undergoing 2 transitions at once.

First being back to Singapore's culture.

Second being thrown into adulthood workforce, pronto.

Someone told me it's especially stressful for me.

And yes, it's kinda true.

I need to check into rehab soon.

Time is all that will cure the alterations.

Boy,

Isnt life just interesting.

They say the trip might change your perspective in life.

And boy oh boy oh boy,

it sure did.

It makes you realise how small Singapore really is in the big old world.

And it dawns upon you how small you really are.

So I was on my first grocery shopping after the trip with my parents yesterday,

and this lady queuing up in front of us totally made my day.

The poor tired and beat up cashier simply fast forward the conveyor belt a lil too fast,

resulting in the lady's packet of eggs to fall a bit.

And she literally jumped up,

typical as she was, she went "aiyo!"

HAHAHAHA.

The gestures of locals just kinda crack me up since.

Singaporeans are a cute bunch indeed.

Jet lag sucks.

2009-10-04T15:32:00.000-07:00

2nd day of jet lag.

Thought to self:

"Persevere till 12am! You can do it! Yes we can!"

9pm: Slept on the sofa.

5am: woke up.

5:01am: Damn it. Forced myself to sleep again.

11.30am: Freak! The longest i've slept in years. 14 freakin hours.

And i'm still tired.

Siaoooo liao ah!

Skeleton.

2009-10-02T04:02:00.000-07:00

So here i am.

Munching on pringles (pop!) chips with shrimp flavour.

At 3.55 am.

Whoo how interesting.

It's been quite some time since i encounter such weird food.

Seems like it's forever and foreign somehow.

Just touched down at 845pm tonight.

Man, i'm finally home.

And i must say,

Jet lag can be a killer.

It silently creeps up inside you.

Stalks you when you are awake.

Leavin your heart pounding and tummy yellin for food in the middle of the night for a supposed day on the other side of the earth.

Mess up your time line and body clock.

And then scares you from behind and lets it ring out loud.

So this is it.

Snap snap.

Here comes reality.

Here comes becoming a typical OL walking briskly down the escalator with the heels knocking against the steps announcing, your majesty, the arrival.

Or frowning at the occasional squeezy mrt trains suring peak hours.

Or having to chop seats with tissue paper and joining the great singapore queue for the lunch rush hour.

Omg.

No, that's not just reality.

It's hell.

A rude shock from a culture i loved in Albany.

Where almost everyone is friendly.

Where almost every car gives way when you cross the street.

Where everyone respects your freedom.

Damn.

I wish i can sleep forever.

I would not want to open my eyes.

Jet lag.

It's a killer indeed.

The Final Lap.

2009-09-30T23:45:00.000-07:00

*Updated*

Alas,

The final day.

It's like a breeze when you are enjoying yourself.

The time does feel like it passes faster when your are travelling than when you are at work in the states.

It's been 22 days of non-stop travel/loiter/linger.

You get tired of the 10 hours bus ride.

Or the minimum 3 hours car ride to your place of interest.

Or the need for a freakin car rather than relying on public transport to get around places.

Or waking up super early to begin your travel and end late to return to rest.

Or the expensive food.

Or the expensive FRIED and junky fast food everywhere you go.

Or the expensive taxi ride.

Or the ridiculous interest rate the bank charges you out of nothing.

Or the constant dehydration of need for water which tastes weird especially in Orlando and las vegas.

Or especially the luggage you have to literally drag around everywhere you go, and roll your eyes 10 times over when you see steps or stairs.

Or the occasional howling from men in random cars or bikes.

Or the craving for hot water so you can cook Chow Mein (they are rad!) to satisfy your hunger pangs in the late night when you finally return back to the hotel.

Or

last, but definitely not the least,

the unbelievably 12 or 13 hour flights that send you home feeling like you wanna return the chow mein you just ate.

But but,

There's always the other side of the coin for every story.

What I will not regret missing,

are

THE...

International friends you make and crap with everyday durin work.

Taste of attempting skycoaster for the first time after putting it off since forever at 175 feet high on the last day of work.
Wow, what a great way to end it off.

Historic buildings against the modern setting of Boston.

Trinity church visit.

Catching the Blue Man show in Boston.

Baths from the splashes of niagara falls.

Experience of stayin at hostels and taking the subways amidst the winding and complicated maps.

Bright neon light boards you see in new york city.

Super satisfaction of the chinese food you finally get to taste after so long at Chinatown in nyc.

Rare sight of statue of liberty smiling at you as you cruise by.

Fashion forward city slickers at soho/5th avenue bringing out the vogue in you.

Visiting the much anticipated Lincoln monument, Thomas Jefferson statue, vietnam war wall of honour, korean war museum, white house (i said hi to obama...mentally. lol) and the white dome in washington, liberty bell in Philadelphia, and beautiful Baltimore for a stopover.

Attempt and having hands up in the air kinda fun in Orlando Disneyworld and Islands of adventure.

Personal record breaker of being pulled up 300 feet high on the world's tallest skycoaster in Kissimmee, Florida. And pulling the cord for the group twice now.

Nakiddd women who have obscene plastic surgery laying burnt and ogled at and be jaw dropping shocked (by me yes hahaha) on south beach.

Partying and boozing and gettin hit on by guys who CAN REALLY DANCE AND NOT JUST BUSY TRUSTING THEIR PELVIS FORWARD AT YOU (hint point poke slap zap the local guys) in the hippest club and bar in miami yo!

Walk to the iconic golden gate bridge (which is not golden!) in San Fransisco and breathing out momentary hot air due to the cold and heavy fog.

Visit to the fisherman's wharf (wooof!) and tasting their seafood.

Magnificent natural beauties of Yosemite and the stunning Grand Canyon mountain range. They look so surreal like a poster that is pulled down as a background.

Famous fountain dance in las vegas and naked ladies porno cards promoting strip clubs and the casinos that are everywhere.

Crazy flight alone to san diego and visiting katherine for the first time.

Eye-opening experience of hanging out with her, showing me the local culture and sights and tasting Mexican and vietnam and american (in n out and wendy's are my fav) food and the bars with her too cool friends.

Return to LA and visiting the rich and famous in Beverly Hills/Rodeo Drive and walking the Hall of Fame in Hollywooood.

*sigh*

It has been a good ride indeed.

11 states. Countless cities. Priceless unmeasurable fun.

And that's all i can say.

Nostalgia stings once again.

2009-09-06T03:06:00.000-07:00

Freakin teared 2 times today.

It's the last day for some turkish.

Super emo when wan er and i walked bahadir to his motel after bowling with the papa john's gang, and chillin at lake george with Capri pizza and shocktop beer near the lake.

Ahhhh!

I dont want tmw to come!

Freakin last day of work already?!

It's just,

simply too fast.

Nostalgia can be a pain in the ass.

2009-09-03T10:32:00.000-07:00

I can be such a chick sometimes.

I freakin teared a little when cheryl left the room for San frans yesterday morn.

I mean,

I'm so goin to be alone in the room!

And i'll miss my fellow crapper and "contact lens cum use purple!" reminder for the past 1 month or so.

Lol.

But at least it's only goin to be for the next few days.

Which also means,

the last freakin 5 days of work left for me!

Awwww.

People always cant believe how fast time flies when they are enjoying themselves.

And seriously,

It seemed like a dream still that i'm still in the states!

Simply surreal.

Imagine me tearing when cheryl leaves, who at least i can still meet up cos she stays in punggol,

what about 7th sept when everyone has to part from one another?

I'll really miss the turkish.

*sigh*

I'm usin too much "misses".

A good sign that this trip rocks.

And a bad sign cos i hate nostalgia.

I'm so going to bring my (malfunctioned and very much under used) camera to work today.

*Push bucket underneath and weep*

But well.

*shrugs*

There'll always hellos and goodbyes in your passing life.

The tingling and unwilling cringing symptom of the heart during farewells are inevitable.

You hate it cos it hurts.

But you cant bear to let it go cos it reminds you of the memories you have accumulated.

Why?

Simply cos it makes you feel alive.

*breathes in deep*

Yes. I'm such a chick.

Being emotional is my middle name.

But at least it's only for the summer.

Lol.

It's a summer thing.

You know,

Like summer flings, summer greenery, summer crushes, summer everything short-term.

Anyway,

during the night,

I decided to face a harder truth by checkin my results.

Damn i love torturing myself sometimes.

But daddy and mummy,

I got a freakin second upper honours!

:)))))))

No excuses for me spending more money now!

Muahaha.

Yes, i was aiming and hopin for a first class.

But too bad msm and mm disappointed me.

Oh well, who cares.

Look ma! I've graduated!

*throws confetti*

Let's party my dear.

2009-08-26T00:57:00.000-07:00

Cast parties rock because of the food.

Today's the second cast party i attended and boy,

american food are all so freakin fried and junky.

But well, it's free!

Totally sat the steaming demon 6 times in a row now!

So breakin my personal record the last time.

Owwww!

Next up,

Boomerang?

Buildin of guts in progress.

Anyway,

NYC's hotel and train are already booked couple of days ago.

So exciting!

*dance can can*

So delighting!

*hums beat*

It's a bummer DJ's, the only pathetic nightclub in lake george wasnt opened yesterday. We had such a big group and everyone was so anticipating the day we can rock the dance floor after work!

But oh well.

They are plannin on goin again tomorrow.

Yeoww!

It's our day off tmw and we are so plannin on goin to the splashwater kingdom, laser tag, and then club!

I swear my dark eye rings are growing to the size of a car tyre.

Vroom vroooom!

Gee Go Pek.

2009-08-22T01:02:00.000-07:00

This is probably the first time the closest i felt to be suffering from unnecessary anxiety attacks.

I was posted to the beer stand the entire day (before going to sports bottle for closing).

And boy oh boy oh boy.

I just dont get why gee go peks just have to be old men or guys who arent exactly brad pitt material. Unfortunately they are those bread pitt kind.

So this uncle about 40+ (or maybe 60+ with really good botox) just kinda irritated me.

The following is a true story.

Rated R109.

Guidance is advised.

The first attempt was around 12pm.

"haha ohhh you're lois? Rem me? I came a couple of weeks back when it was so hot!"

*mumbles to himself*

"get me one more beer"

*winks*

"You gotta take care of me alright?"

**forced laughter**

While i heck care and detest the park policy of 1 beer per id and identifying every single soul, even 80+ old ladies which i get ridiculed by them a lot for id-ing them just because it's the "park policy", i just gave him his 2 beers.

Few minutes later,

wan er came to break me, and she witnessed his lame attempt number 2.

"heyyy loissss. Ohhh loisss. Where are you from? Ohh singapore? You know i can get you a house there...you can take care of it for me ehh?"

**forced laughter**

And then, after lunch,

He bloody creeped up beside my stand again!

"loissss. *wink* so...you got a boyfriend?"

**forced laughter**

"ohhh no worries. You are well. You are well. You'll have lots of children."

**er..aaaa ahahahha forced laughter**

Where's my chasity belt when i need it?

Few minutes later,

"loissss. *wink* That's my son. *mumbles* He's only 16. No you'll hurt him. Haha"

**cue awkwardness, raised eyebrowns, and forced laughter number 39485**

Seriously my jaws are hurting just tryin to laugh that much.

It's really kinda funny.

Just dont get silly old dudes who flirt openly in front of their kids and wife, or not, or whatever.

Creepy is in people.

I'm teleporting.

2009-08-20T01:32:00.000-07:00

The time traveller's wife is a great movie.

I'm so going to buy the book if i have the chance (if i ever and am willing to stretch my hands to get the book lol).

Been puttin the movie off for some time and so after work today,

decided to jump on the trolley and catch some action.

In fact,

cheryl and i DID catch a couple havin some live smooching kissy kissy action outside a motel on our way back. hahaha.

Now,

that's what i call america man!

Anyway,

We tried to walk out through The Bon Ton and realised in the middle of the car park lot that we only know the way back from sears. lol.

So,

with the blind leading the blind, we walked back into the cinema path, into the mall, and out from the other way where we came in.

I admit,

walkin in the middle of the night, esp in the states aint the safest way to go.

But after the 1.5 hours walk from lake george back the other time,

dark alleys and highways are nothin man!

Sometimes,

trauma can really train your guts.

We arent twits!

2009-08-15T02:10:00.000-07:00

I'm not a twitter person.

But to make things easier, i think i'll blog in twitter style.

Kinda feels like a traitor to blogging.

But well, try loh.

1030am: woke up.
1031am: kicked the bloody blanket away.
1032am: lovin my day off.
11am: dont feel well.
1103am: popped vitamin c.

1106pm: paste temporary pirate kiddish tattoo on left flabby arm
1108pm: ARRRRR!
1120pm: finished on hole 18 and decided to walk from lake george back to Martha's.
1121pm: think it's the wrong decision made.
1215am: passed 3 freakin super dark highways, with 2 cars stopping and yellin "hey wanna ride?"

1250am: bloody home sweet home
1251am: realised it's a 1.5 f**kin hour of walk
1252am: transformed into miss awesomes.

So,

Are your eyes blurry yet?

It's a normal side effect.

Twitter is like. Yeah.

Niagara is my new lover.

2009-08-13T01:12:00.000-07:00

YES!

I totally sat the rides again!

Can you believe it?

Timid lil lulu sat the freakin rides over again!

Steaming demon is fun rather than scary now. That guy totally duped us when he said the ride will go only once. In the end, it went consecutively twice! I thought my weak, fragile, beautiful heart couldnt take it. But good thing it's still beating. I think.

And yeah!

I just came back from niagara falls!

I totally forgot to bring my camera (I KNOW MAN I KNOW) and set the cruise on fire.

But believe me when i say it's simply stunningly gorgeous. C'est absolument magnifique!

The 6 hours ride there was totally worth it. Even if it means leavin at 3am and puking twice (I KNOW MAN I KNOW) because my weak, fragile, beautiful body was too sensitive at night and due to the lack of sleep.

The maid of the mist (cruise ride around Bridal Veil falls and Horseshoe fall) and cave of the winds (experience the force of the fall and touching it and being wet and sexy) are the Must-go and they are the coolest!

Pictures are up on facebook. So go see! Words cant describe it.
Truly one of the 7 wonders of the world man.

But the weather for a supposedly summer is simply too weird.

It keeps raining!

First in Boston,

then in Niagara falls.

Where got like that one you tell me.

Ohh well,

I'm still lovin' every second of it.

Dinner at Hard Rock cafe was cool. The decor was so rock n roll and everyone was so enthusiastic when the song YMCA was playin. Of cos i joined in and yeah, cool man.

But my left waist is hurting cos i sprained it.

Why?

Cos smart ass lois tried to run and jump across a puddle of water and the supposedly "slip proof" niagara given slippers slipped me. SWEET!

But just in case you are curious,

I did try to save whatever face i've left by falling gracefully.

In a masculine feminine way.

But it still shocked a couple of ang mos and yes, it was funny. And embarrassing.

As usual.

*strums guitar*

WELCOME TO MY LIFE~!

Alrighty,

time for bed people. For a good afternoon back in singapore! ;)

VIVA LA USA 2!

2009-08-07T01:50:00.000-07:00

*awkward silence*

Ok i know i "promised" to have like "live" updates "everyday".

But really very very "busy" mahh.

Right anyway,

if you want me to update from the last post aka the first day i touched down,

you might as well load your machine gun or hold your barang and kill me now.

Can type till 2014.

+Random diverion+
[ Wahh the turkish who just used the stove didnt bloody switch off and they bloody left! Win liao loh. Winliaowinliaowinliao]

So far it's been really fun travelling with the other singaporeans who were here earlier to woodbury and cross gates in Albany for major shopping aka major bankrupt-ing sessions. The factory outlets rock!

And omg, Boston was really beautiful! It was 4 hours drive from Albany but we saved a lot on transport because Irmak's lake george manager from the inn is super kind to give us a ride for a cheaper price. The buildings were like historical against the modern environment. Simply awesome.

But too bad we went whale watching on the 3rd day and there arent any whales. Super lame and waste of time. It was like, 5 hours of cruise ride to and fro the atlantic ocean (i think) and motion sickness unwillingly kicks in.

But the visit to Harvard law school increased my IQ, Chinatown for the very much missed chicken rice, catching the Blueman show (!!) which i've always wanted to watch, Quincy market for cool kebob and seafood, New England Aquarium, the breathtaking Trinity Church and THE ORGASMIC CHEESECAKE FACTORY and and the experience on board the subway (eat fresh) made it pretty darn worthwhile. ;))

Well, work has been alright so far. Workin in the theme park aint that bad. Plus we have employee benefits and free entry to other six flags theme parks.

And i conquered my fear for some pretty cool rides! Like Sasquatch. The Drop and Launch towers from 19 storeys high, and the shot to the top is less than 3 seconds, and steaming demon. I still cant freakin believe it. I'm going to sit them again!

However, the management can be a bit f**ked up sometimes. Like schedules screwing up and calling me in for possible suspension out of NOTHING. Major roll eyes. Steve from loss prevention, i've my eyes on you. Beware and behold. *cue thunder*

Here's sasquatch for your viewing pleasure.

And steaming demon.

I've a pimple in between my eyes.
That's another unnecessary diversion i know. lol. But it's really distracting. Like i've a 3rd eye or something.

+Random diversion+
Whoo guys from Romania are at the girls' dorm. They came back to visit Mick. And they worked previously at six flags too. And i said hi. And they asked me if i know where Romania is. Of cos i said no. And they are pretty muscled. And fair. And they have that accent. And. . . Yeah.

Right, where was i?

This sunday we'll be going to Niagara Falls! Cant wait to be drenched and get wet (sweeeet) and catch the lighting effects and whatever. Freakin 6 hours drive and countin!

Now now,

just let me get my motion pills and let's go!

Touch down!

2009-06-26T06:21:00.000-07:00

YES, WE CAN!

Houston! I've touched down!

Reporting from base at the kitchen now. I know, sounds a bit unglam lol. It's a kitchen/laundry/computer room. Efficient right...

Believe it or not. We cannot underestimate the power of jet lag! Still feelin like earth is swaying crazily. Approx 40+ hours of flight and transit. Literally half a globe across man! Can die! The worst has gotta be the 12 hours flight from taipei to LA. Horrible! Almost puked. LOL. That's weak man!

*puts L sign on forehead*

But what was interesting was experiencing the first culture difference right at Albany airport where this black dude was handcuffed, right in the streets by two officers. And my first thought was, "whoa! YEAH! OMG". And no, in case you are wondering, i didnt and cant take that picture. Lol.

So we took a taxi from Albany airport to greyhound bus station, then another taxi straight down to our cabin (supposed to take the bus from greyhound to lake george bus station then another taxi to cabin. BUT SIAO! Think we red bull mehh??). And cant take a straight taxi down cos will be expensive and some drivers didnt know the way. Oh man, i miss tiny singapore already.

So after draggggging our luggages and askin for directions, we've reached. :)

The cabin looks good, at least on the outside. Within, it's a shithole! LOL. No aircon and insects are multiplying fast because of summer! Plus, the toilet was filthy and the room has cobwebs. I mighty hate dirty toilets! So Mig (guy in charge) told us it's not the Great Escape. It's the Great Mistake. Lol.

*cue*

MUMMMYYY!!

Ahahaha. But still, kept an open mind and clean loh. No choice. In the end, decided to crash with the other room for the aircon and left the dirtier one for storage.

There are alot of turkish people around here. And they speak excellent english, for the 2nd grade. LOL. How to work in the park like that?? Yeah, i have no idea how they survived haha.

So we survived the first day by walkin at least a mile to wal-mart to buy all the groceries and dinner. We are being stared at quite a bit cos NO ONE, not a ghost, at least not that i can see anyway, walks to their destination. Everyone has a bloody car! We are not called "aliens" by them for nothing (all non-US citizens are called aliens). Lol.

So today is the 2nd day.

We survived!

Shopped quite a lot at the factory outlets. Gap, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Burberry, etc. So much cheaper!

Ok i can hear keyboards slamming away typing requests already. haha

Alrighty! Tmw is our orientation. Gotta go cook dinner! :)

Pictures up sooon.

And omg, RIP Micheal Jackson!

Ohh and and a personal shoutout to Chilli, Nessa, Liyana, family(if you secretly reads my blog. Stop it!) and several other friends! Yes I'm safe and gettin unwillingly tan and I Miss y'all! ;)

VIVA LA USA!

2009-06-23T18:05:00.000-07:00

Bye Singapore!

Be back in September! ;)

Shall post live updates as soon as i touch down!

*Big grin*

Omg i'm homesick already! lol

And yes, that IS a plane.

ART!

Swat it.

2009-06-20T13:46:00.000-07:00

As you grow up and walk in the streets,

somehow you realise you dont wanna know everything there is in the world.

Especially the jeepers creepers of some weirdos on the street.

And i dont mean weirdos who may have weird habits and thinking like me,

but true blue makes-you-cringe-and-frown-carry-plastic-bags-loiter-in-the-streets out of the norm kind of weirdos.

So just yesterday,

as i waitin for dearrr chilli to knock off,

i sat at lido movie level and was spacing out. As usual.

When suddenly...

*eerie creepy background music*

this guy wearin khaki 3/4 pants with oversized shirt decided to walk off after sittin for quite a while towards the figure cardboards of Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince upcomin movie.

Then,

he stared at Hermoine for the longest 5 seconds ever and...rubbed on her cardboard hand,

whilst staring at her for the next longest, creepiest 10 seconds. Ever.

*runs away screaming*

You think knight in shining armour askin for marriage meh?!

I immediately turn to the sweeper who was resting/lazing at the side and him turnin towards me at the same time and bam,

we were both disgusted.

Damn, i always knew guys who dresses like that are creepy.

ANYWAY,

as much as Barack Obama has become a marketing campaign on billboards in the streets, t-shirts and wallpaper or whatever,

we cant deny he's just well, normal like the rest of us.

Lol. How cool is that??

Even a dead fly gets featured.

Moral of the story,

just swat it.

Gaga-licious.

2009-06-15T14:56:00.000-07:00

In case you are wondering...

Yes. I'm still drunkenly gagaliciously gaga-ed.

Not there, wanna see the show?

Here you go. Some other videos i found.

Warning: Dont start if you feel dizzy or hate blair witch project kinda footage.

Love Game.

Pokerface medley.

This was taken by someone from the screen. Man seeing her directly in front with the piano in "live" version is another story.

Blazing molten hott.

The 3rd outfit was banana yellow with the album long hair for Just Dance.
Superbly amazing.

Ok that's all i have folks!

See more on facebook! ;))

Gaga-ed.

2009-06-14T01:10:00.000-07:00

HU?

GA!

HU?!

GA!!

It's...

HUGA GAGA HUGA GAGA HUGA HUGA HUGA!!!!!

Warning caution awas watch out!
There'll be lots of shrieking and screaming every 5 secs in this post. Cant help it!

OH MAN!

The showcase was to say the least,

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious absolutely completely totally and 100% gagatrifying!

So filled with oomph!!

I'm still starstruck and hyped up as i type. Hands are shaking man!

6.30pm: I arrived at the mega queue and huge crowd packed at The Dome of Dubai at Clarke Quay.
6.32pm: Realised i forgot to bring my camera (!!!) and beat up a guy near the river.
6.40pm: Register to take card and be tagged.
7.15pm: Doors freakin open!
7.30pm: Greeted with a bloody 2nd door to open after anxious waiting!
7.45pm: Squeezed through the crowd, got mistaken as a backstage crew and be ushered to another space by security and then be apologised for it (niceee), walked past singtel grid girls sittin at a table and some ang mos and arrived at the left wing in front of the stage.

*que screaming*

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

8.12pm: Daniel ong and Mr young of 987fm are MCs for the evening. The rest of the 987 crew were situated outside viewing range. Introduced a hell lot about Amped by Singtel which i listened with my jaws open because they registered in my head as if they are speaking under water. My mind is alll about "gagagagaggagagaa" man.

Mr young told a snippet about him proposing to gaga yesterday. Man i love her immediate yes.

Lol yes cos she's cool like that.

8.20pm: Played a game with 4 lucky audience to impersonate Lady Gaga. The audience cheered for the only guy who did the worst. Niceeee. The best two won a digital compact discs with personal gaga signatures, the other two got signatured shirts.

Damn. Those lucky bitarches.

I was raising my hands in the air like a desperate kid left on the baseball field yellin "pick me pick me!".

8.35pm: Local DJ Paul T mixes the hype. Crowd chants for GAGA GAGA GAGA GAGA!

*taps lap*
So growing impatient right?

and...

8.49pm: Realised a little MORE height could have helped and bit the guy in front of me.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Screen drops

and...

BAM!

8.50pm: LADY GAGA steps on stage with an mesmerizing pose with very tall and muscled chocolate backup dancers. lol. Crowd goes wild and nuts. Myself included.

I swear her first song, love game, when she started dancing, she then stopped in front at the centre for 5 secs, and the dancers passes her lighted baton on her right hand, and microphone on her left kinda moment was wayyy too cool.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

OMG!

That's totally faint-worthy. So zai!

I was left with little choice but to take whatever pictures possible with my crappy handphone which feels like it's 0.2 megapixels.

With 5 songs,

Love game,
Beautiful Dirty Rich,
Paparazzi (still my favourite of all),
PoPoPoPokerface
Just Dance

It's enough to shoot the energy level to the roof.

When she played pokerface on the piano with her stylish twick like a medley kinda style, the moment she STOOD on the chair, butt out, and played with her foot WITH heels, omg, i was blown away.

Too cool!

Plus she threw her gloves to the crowd and we all went NUTS i'm tellin ya.

Man the gaga power cannot be underestimated.

Saw a glimpse of Nathaniel Ho and Patricia Mok after performance. No one can resist gaga charm ok!

Man,

This is so fcukin awesome.

Once when she was looking in our direction, i was the only one who did a heart shape symbol with my hands up and was jumping like mad,

AND I SWEAR SHE NODDED AT ME!

Ok, maybe not, BUT maybe yes!!

I'll take it. lol

With that,

Lady gaga ended with a "I fcukin love you singapore!"

More pics from better cameras (lol) soon!

Love her crazy ass costumes and attitude.

*Sigh*

Totally Gagatrified.

Gagatrified.

2009-06-12T00:50:00.000-07:00

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Listen to this.

Very very calmly...

BUT...

I'M ALREADY BURSTING AT THE SEAMS

AND

wait for it...

wait...for it...

I"M GOIN TO LADY GAGA SHOWCASE THIS SUNDAY!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

OH MAN!

I'm not seeing things, but i just saw a shooting star flash across the sky above that rainbow at 12.50am.

WHEEEE!!

I was just bloody bored just now, so i messaged wq to just irritate her with the unnecessary detail that 987fm was givin away tix for the gaga showcase.

And then, she went...

"Can i ask you a question?
You really wanna go to the showcase?"

Holy smokes!

I GET THE HINT BABY!

YESSSS!

And wham bam maam!

She gave away one of her tix which she won from a singtel competition to the mademoiselle right here.

*sigh*

Now i've to fret what to wear.

I know.

No pants!

There you go. Problem solved. ;)

I may not know any of her friends other than her on that day, but for gaga,

Yes, it's totally worth it.

*shrieks and runs into wall*

Gettin out of rehab.

2009-06-11T23:54:00.000-07:00

Ok so i just dyed my hair to the natural black
or brownish black
or darkkk brown
or or whatever lah!

Omg it's so hard to pinpoint a certain colour myself.
I mean there'll always be this person who'll comment
"wahh! Black!" or "wahh! Ehh...there's this rainbow glow at this patch under the sun"

Fine fine.

So colour can be in the eye of the beholder as well.

Man life can be such a literature that we made it out to be. Lol.

So yes, it's Back to black.

Like Amy Winehouse had wisely quoted.

But then,

it's So boring!

Ok fine the blonde streak may not be a fav among the elderly (or maybe anyone else for that matter haha), but well, everyone goes blonde every once in a while in their lives right??

Dont deny. I said no, no, no.

I still remember my mum once pulled me aside to tell me that an aunt told her

"ehh, your daughter goin overseas ahh? Must dye back you know! Wait the people there think havoc ahh! Then wait havoc with her erhhhhhh howww! "

O

M

G

There is a need to put an end to overwheming ooze of auntiness and sua-ku-ness among the older generation. Like Pronto.

*places police siren above my bed*

Pardonez moi.

I might need to put on my french maid outfit holdin that blush and be the goody-two-shoes which that aunt is proud of now.

Hmm

Maybe a belly piercing orrr a tattoo....

You want a piece of me?

2009-06-09T17:24:00.000-07:00

O.m.g

This dude just creep the HELL out of me.

LOL! Yeah man, it must be the chicken factory. LOL!

And he scored bulls eye on ALL the bloody wrong things!

I mean AQUA?! Seriously?!

Fame.

Everyone wants a piece of it.

I always knew someone i knew or at least talked to before will be famous sometime in our lives of growing up.

And goodness.

What an eyeopener to know from facebook that wu xiaohan from sec 1 whom i once teamed up with in a nonsensical history quiz which we won and kinda forgettable but that's too much nonsensical trivial for this sentence to go on became a myspace sensation with the highest hits of 2.4 million in australia.

Nice work!

Article.

Featured coverage.

But she is a master of business student ALREADY??

Boy was i born in the wrong time capsule.

Instant fame.

Some get to enjoy it.

Many pursue it.

Others got burned by it.

What can i say?

C'est la vie.

Tweets for sweets?

2009-06-04T14:16:00.000-07:00

Can you hear that?

It's echoing in my ears since 5.30pm 2 days ago.

It's gettin louder.

And louder.

And louder.

PLAY IT!

Exams are ffffinito man!

Can you feel the rainbow??

*sigh*

Totally going to skip around my block and give free hugs to random strangers with that song!

Whooo wheee ouuuuuu wahhhhhhh!

And omg. The surprise when i saw this!

Yes yes, the scenes are a bit cheesy and i'm such a teen wannable (Still a teen ok).

Honestly 2nd book isnt as exciting as the other 3, but it has more exposure of jacob. He totally beefed up for this sequel.

And and the whole world is making sooo much noise about those american idol and talent contests because the hot favourites adam lambert or susan boyle didnt win. So what??

They are for exposure silly.

Not sure about you, but they are already world idols in my opinion. Kris will get boring. It's his musical arrangements that helped him. And that jaw when he sing. Gee. Although although, his version of heartless was a breath of fresh air.

But still. A fad will remain a fad.

Singapore idol? Yawn. You were sayin?

And phuture yesterday on ladies night was madness! No room to dance at all! And all the tweets pushing around. Where got fun you tell me. I'm beginning to be paranoid if i have claustrophobia. But mambo at zouk was much better. Tacky moves and spice girls or ABBA or DOA (Dead or Alive's spin me right round remember?!) can totally spice up your life! Rockss!

Yes ok, fine. I'm such a nerd.

And OK i'm back to bed and my persistent sneezing. I barely just woke up.
BUT it's the end of exams AND school man! That calls for a champagne! And two hundred thousand freakin balloons!

And 20 more days!

Man the tweet in me is so twittering excitedly.

Ohh, and a random note, i think twitter is dumb. Unless you are obsessed with a friend or parez hilton or ashton kutcher, then fine.

But i dont see the point of rubbing your hands together anticipating for the next update on how that guy dropped the burger at 10.01pm. Or spilled his ketchup on his laps at 10.23pm. Or the sauce fallin to his ankles at 10.24pm.

*shakes the person*

There's more to life people!

And Fur Nest Sha Go Pec Link! Love that book!!
Il est absolument fantastique! ;>

Ok, signing off now.

Whooo wheee ouuuuuu wahhhhhhh!

Touch that rugby.

2009-05-27T13:16:00.000-07:00

YESSSSSSS!!

I have a new found hobby.

Well...ok. Maybe a guilty pleasure more like it.

But wait a minute. No reason to have any guilt.

Mmmm. It's kinda, absolutely, completely and maybe totally footballious.

Nope, i havent taken up the sport nor am i going on the women's team or whatever.

So i was channel surfing one day. Out of boredom from being cooped up at home with 4 walls and a stinky bro.

And tadah!

Channel 170.

It's a well-kept secret that one starhub. I give it to you. I wasnt informed that our cable has that channel all along!

The power of AFL, aka Australian football league, aka rugby.

That was when i realise i was staring, jaws dropped, and gawking at the screen in a pleasurable trance for.the.next.10 mins. Or maybe a good half an hour. Or a little more.

KAPOWW!

I mean, how many programmes, at least in singapore anyway, that you get to see guys ruffling with each other, or should i say, most of the time, a threesome, no 4, or 5, okok. A whole damn gang of testosterone charged MEN banging and rubbing against each other for a bloody ball?! It felt almost illegal i'm tellin ya!

Despite a good Educational experience to know the sport, i still have no bloody idea how it's played. I mean, i know there're some kicking action to aim for a goal (whooo), some group headbutting and passing the ball in between the legs (ahhhh), some touch down with some angry, sweating, shirt-a-tat-too-tight-guy tuggin at the SHORTS of the scoring guy reachin for some line (yes yes!).

So yes. It's Educational indeed. ;>

And plus plus, it's showed at least 20 hours a day or something.

Ohh thank youuuu starhub!

Pardon me,

cos i think i might need to rush to my chamber of secrets. Like now.

Goodbye.

2009-05-22T12:56:00.000-07:00

I think i might have developed a phobia for unpleasant events to happen whenever i have exams.

The first was the passing of my grandma durin A levels.

And the second, the recent departure of my grandpa two days ago on Wednesday, 20th may, a day before my corporate finance killer paper.

It was pretty sudden, but peaceful.

On the 19th, i overheard that he was admitted to the hospital. With breathing difficulties and difficulties to stand.

So there and then,

when i was showering, a thought came to my mind.

If anything was to happen at the time when i'm overseas, and i cannot be around, i'll write a note dedicated to him, a note that shall be read through my family on my behalf.

Today, i've penned down my thoughts.

"Such is the circle of life. The beginning always fascinating, the midst, always exciting, and its end, sometimes depressing, other times, a commemoration for a life well-fulfilled. Our beloved Ah Gong, belongs to the latter.

Recently, I've seen an advertisement on TV about the facet of being beautifully imperfect. My Ah Gong may be stubborn at times, but being beautifully imperfect unveils his incredibly strong will to be independent, his will to survive the first stroke, his will to quit smoking, and his will to live through the day for the embrace of his children, grandchildren, and even great grandchildren.

I'm probably not the best grandchild standing here today for the tribute. Typical as i was, i regret saying that i had spent little time bonding with him, meeting him only for occasions and festivities. However, i'm not speaking on behalf of my other cousins, who in their own journeys of growing up with him, have witnessed his quirks and laughter. It was through Orrapint, that i found out his favorite desert was ice cream and his adorable teasing to cheer her up. It was through Lorraine, that i found out how he went to MacDonald and bought a packet of shaker fries specially for her. And it was through our Da Jie (my big aunt) that his favourite seafood was fish, which he uses his kungfu to skillfully savor every corner possible. Growing up, My memories of him always include his nodding, and his cute toothy smile. Always asking us to "eat more eat more", he is teaching us to enjoy more, and to laugh more. One lesson that i have learnt from him, is to always be optimistic, and to take a step back to enjoy the simplicities of life.

The circle of life. A famous quote once said, that 'every man dies, but not every man lives'. Ah Gong's journey is, but the beginning of an end. He had completed one cycle of life on earth, and i believe he is enjoying another, a more special one, with Ah Ma in Heaven right now."

Goodbye grandpa.

You are dearly missed. :)

Once a tv addict.

2009-05-11T14:02:00.000-07:00

Omg.

The hormones have done it again.

Episode 22 of Grey's anatomy Season 5 is THE best episode EVER!

Made me cry like a (gorgeous, sweet, and adorable) baby!

Ohh Izzie Stevens. You hang on!

Man, i'm totally wiping out the entire kleenex population at home.

The writers better deserve an award for this. Or i'll go on another strike with you!

Christina hammering the fan, george walkin with izzie, karev being all mr perfect despite it all and himself, Calley's confession and of course, meredith and derek doin all great and all.

*Sigh*

I cant imagine myself perhaps 45 years from now, watchin tv by myself with my 20 cats and 33 dogs at home, weeping and crying out loud to wake the grouchy neighbours next door.

But hey,

at least i didnt cry on Opera.

Or just maybe, it's because exams are starting.

Hmmm.

Definitely, maybe.

I know the unknown!

2009-05-05T13:46:00.000-07:00

The swine flu the swine flu The swine flu the swine flu The swine flu the swine flu The swine flu the swine flu The swine flu the swine flu The swine flu the swine flu.

OMG.

I have enough of that three words i'm tellin ya.

Enough is enough!

Like this!

Lol. But seriously, my ears are goin to bleed and bet everyday from now, 90% of the news are going to be hogged by the swine flu. GOD!

Who's with me that the media is kinda blowing this bloody swine flu out of proportion?

Yes, precaution is still best yada yada.

But this fear that the media is instilling in us is growing old day by day man.

Out of this whole "global pandemic" situation that is spreading the entire world,

H1N1 Swine Flu Cases in the U.S.A.

There are only 19 (!) deaths in mexico and 1 death in Texas so far.

Wah! Pandemic!

I know this isnt fair, because i'm giving it the benefit of the doubt that the numbers may be lower than predicted due to the good precautions countries are takin out of fear that a 2nd sars history may repeat itself. But seriously, a total of 20 deaths and you call this a PANDEMIC??

Ok, some statements made are DUH, and a bit ignorant of the possible danger, but to divert attention from the gloomy financial crisis and unemployment worldwide and report on something "more exotic", well there's still some truth in that right?

No matter what, i'm takin a neutral stand, because ya lah ya lah, we cannot "pray pray". Anytime, it sways to the worse side, we'll be blaming ourselves for not being more vigliant. But still, the truth stays as the truth! 20/6.5 billion. You do the math. And each year about 30000-50000 people die from NORMAL influenza viral infection (in the US alone). Now, why is there no normal flu pandemic? Also got death what, no?

In case, you are stretching your hair out of your wits for paranoid idiots (i was kinda one i know lol) that contribute to the hype,

Watch the first minute.

Lol.

Human nature.

Eliminate and scream whenever and whatever there's an uncertainty, or something unknown.

Well, some food for thought i guess.

You be the judge.

I know,

yawn.

Husky pesky.

2009-04-29T14:20:00.000-07:00

You cant blame me for being paranoid sometimes.

I mean it's pretty natural.

A few weeks ago there's this hooha about the hawker rojak food poisoning case,

and immediately the day after,

i had the kiss of death thrice aka diarrhoea.

And as i was eh hem, sittin down, there my brain goes so joyfully,

"DIE! Did i eat any freakin rojak?"

"Mummyyyy!"

And then,

i was safe. Still alive here and coughing.

So recently,

couple of days ago, there's this swine flu thing sweeping across america, and a few random cases in italy and whatever.

First time virus sounds pretty good.

I mean,

swine sounds pretty fine,
my my, it rhymes with wine.

Or or,

you can say to a person,

"Dude, you look so swine today."

Yeah sounds cool in a way mah. No?

Somehow i have a feelin that may just invite a couple of punches in the gut.

And a good spit near your Chanel shoe.

And no, of course i dont have any chanel shoe. Only hermes please. I mean, germs.

So yes, just as the time was right, again,

I had slight fever and sore throat.

So i popped a couple of fever meds and now,

man i absolutely love my voice. So husky and yes, you got it, sexxxy man.

Oohh yeahh.

So there goes my brain singing,

"ehh now got swine flu leh! You die! You die!"

Needless to say, i'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Hope it doesnt reach pandemic level or else the trip...

Which my mum absooolutely love to use that or any other reasons to threaten me, or my brother too anyway, with anyyy freakin excuses not to go overseas if possible.

"Hor! See la! Thailand riots already see see! Still want to go. Dont listen la! See see you seeeee!'
(My lips were droolin and my bro was half asleep next to me as she came to the room.)

And nowww,

"Hor! See la! Now got dont know what floo. If vely bad cannot go ah! See la you see the news you seeee"
(I was busy tryin to lick my elbow to defy the myth, and my bro, lucky b****. He's not home.)

Like what's up man?

My bro still came back in one piece. And guess what, my mum still want to demand for some gifts can.

Adults here helllooo. Although my height May not look like one.

*sigh*

Ok. This shall be a short entry.

Back to the bloody books.

That is before i sing to you in my new found husky voice,

and dance around the pole with my umbrella,

I'm singin in the rain~~

I cant get back up. Yet.

2009-04-18T13:22:00.000-07:00

Man, this duo rocks this song.

Mmm mm mm Just About Right.

Couldnt get it off my head.

The left one is better in synchronization in my opinion. But both are good overall.

And whatever. I just love some covers. haha.

Check it out.

This is what good old fun with girlfriends is all about man!

So who's up to sing with me in the bathroom tonight yo!

*crickets call*

Ohh and all the hype about Susan Boyle, you know that lady on Britain's got talent.

Boy, she rocks the underdog world man. You go girl!

And and, is everyone joggin at east coast park lookin better and better by the day or what?

If i have to lift up my shirt, i feel like i'm a big ass flasher on a loose and should be locked up or something. I'm very sure that's only because everyone will be intimidated by my 6-in-1 power ab. RRRR!

*squeeze muscles*

Memories.

2009-04-16T13:48:00.000-07:00

OWW!

CATS is EFFIN' FANTASTIC!

Good thing i have the DVD, so i can watch it again!

Omg. The story plot is great, the music is so cool (Andrew Lylod Webber, he was a theme in American Idol once), the stage sets are excellent(floating tyres, auto car boot, the train, big yellow moon, bright lightings) and the cast are soo talented. Great singers, good camaderie, awesome dances.

Simply Brilliant!

*sigh*

My ultimate favourite was the Rum Tum Tugger. The brother of Munkustrap. OHH YEAHH! I totally gave a standing ovation and cheered when he came out during the ending credits. lol.

Havent watch it, dont know why?

Here's the snippet of his hot performance. The ending i saw was much more hilarious. He was twirling his tail and one female was totally drowing in it. MEOWW!

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat

If you offer me pheasant I'd rather have grouse
If you put me in a house I would much prefer a flat
If you put me in a flat then I'd rather have a house
If you set me on a mouse then I only want a rat
If you set me on a rat then I'd rather chase a mouse

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there isn't any call for me to shout it
For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!

The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore

When you let me in, then I want to go out
I'm always on the wrong side of every door
And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about
I like to lie in the bureau drawer
But I make such a fuss if I can't get out

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And it isn't any use for you to doubt it
For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast

My disobliging ways are a matter of habit
If you offer me fish then I always want a feast
When there isn't any fish then I won't eat rabbit
If you offer me cream then I sniff and sneer
But I only like what I find for myself
So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears
If you put it away on the larder shelf

The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle
But I'll leap in your lap in the middle of your sewing
For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle!

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there isn't any need for me to spout it
For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything about it!

Favourite favourite.

Gus, The Theatre Cat was really cool too. His soprano with the female was superb.
And Mr Mistloffelees, the magician.
And and of course the memory song.
And and and, aiya everything lahh!

*sigh*

Thereafter,

the girls decided to head to butterfactory. Oh man. It was packed! Thought it's the exam periods? lol.

All in all,

last night was purrrrfect!

*thumbs up*

Blend into nothingness.

It seems as if it's eons since i last enjoyed loggin on the net in the lazy afternoon.

School has been hella fun. But i suspect it's a vampire sometimes, cos it sucks u dryyy. Twilight anybody?

Since 7 consecutive days of non-stop school (sooo fun), today officially feels like a public holiday all of a sudden. *Breathes in*
The air is kinda fresh. Has it been fresh all along? Jolt my memory.

Yeah, i'm feelin it. Totally like this.

LOL.

Ok. I just realised i've nothin else to blog anymore.

It's official.

I'm boring.

Except, i'm goin to the Cats concert tonight! Freakin cool.

But still, nahh. I'm still a big dog fan.

Seeee.

I'm OFFFiciialll.

*awkward silence*

ANYWAY,

i Never got to be used to how random strangers on the streets just make random comments to you as if you are totally their BFFs all of a sudden.

And usually, they are alone. Which adds up the creep factor cos in Asia, at least perhaps in Singapore, smiling to a person sittin opposite you at the mrt will invite a dirty frown like your ambition is to be a pervert unlike in western countries.

Just yesterday, i was joggin near the recreation area near my home for a couple of rounds at around 5 ish and i was panting (now dirty minds, stay with me), and perspiring, and squinting at the sun set, and feelin like i'm goin to die anytime. I was Totally enjoyin the pretty butterflies and bunny shaped clouds greeting me in the sky, when suddenly, this random, not-so-thin guy, was happily watchin some kites and remote control planes flyin around and then, he twisted his lumpy neck and turned to me as i jogged past him.

"Wahhhh sehh. Not hot ahh?!"

At that moment in time, i could only do my very best to lift up a side of my upper lip and grin the best possible friendly way at him. That was before, i overtake him, and rolled my eyes. All the wayyy to the back of my socket.

I was mentally enjoyin the violence and brutality of wearin two gigantic boxing gloves beating him to a pulp all the wayyy up to the sky.
If you ever caught Ally McBeal, you would totally understand what i'm talkin about.

Like seriously, MYOB man. I like to be fried, cannot mieh?
Like, roar.

That's why, i totally relate to this video sometimes.

Now now, this is the outcome of messin with a girl with PMS. Or rather, post-ms.
(Oh man, pms all year round. Great.)

But well,

poor souls.

Danger danger, is perhaps all, but an understatement.

*Evil grin*

Zee Uncertainties.

2009-04-02T00:20:00.000-07:00

"Ladzies and geantlemaan,

A verhy good afehnoon.

Today, we shall zalk about zee potfolio and zits clari-teh-istics."

Flipping through my notes, i twirled my pen and frown upon his flashy purple shirt, Afro hairdo, LV bag, and of course, his excellent plonouncia-cion.

OMG. That's freakin Pascal from the CF revision class?

Man. He rocks. I mean, he zocks.

I always have the impression that lecturers from LSE are bald, grumpy, wearing those uncle shirts with a clip pen in his shirt pocket, and having killer impatient stares. Yes, that's Amos. But surprise surprise, Pascal is not what i expected. Although i must admit, zhis wordings zis a trauma, and it just seems as if he might scream french vulgarities anytime because zhis simply cannot stand speaking zenglish!

But ok ok, i know what is happening here. You are straining your eyes and cursing under your breath that i'm destroying the rate your pupils have to dilate and constrict so forcefully within 2 inches from the screen. Zai cannot help it! Pascal Zocks!

And speaking of pronounciation, language barrier may not be that bad for most of the foreign students studying here, but seriously, some of them Really need to work on their articulation a lil bit.

Once, i was in MSM class, and zhis guy, i presume from vietnam (cos i can kinda tell from the entire bunch sitting along the row rattling some pho), needed to squeeze by my seat from behind to join zhis friends.

So any normal person will say "excuse me" right?

Well, he did. At least i Think he did. Cos when he said it, it sounded like KISS ME.

Naturally, i snapped my crampy neck and look at him shocked. Like wha?

Honey, i'm passionate, but let's tryy to take things one step at a time yeah. Wink.

And omg!

I freakin booked my drivin test already!

Zso, Who's ready for hell of a ride??

It's timeless.

2009-03-16T15:50:00.000-07:00

Sigh.

The Curious case of Benjamin Button rockssss!

I cant wait to get my hands on the book.

This is the kind of movie i'm talkin about man.

Artistic, classic, timeless (ohh yess), handsome (ohhh. Yeahhhh), meaningful.

Sigh.

Splendid. Just splendid. Definitely Oscar worthy.

Now, with prelims over, i can slip in a little The Wrestler, Valkyrie and maybe Changeling.

Sometimes, a movie can just change your perspective in life.

Or maybe i'm just gettin too emotional because of pms and the cliffhanger on episode 17 of grey's anatomy season 5.

Man, i'm a tv and movie maniac and, i'm lovin it.

I told you i hate goodbyes!

2009-03-15T13:56:00.000-07:00

Yes yes yes!

Slumdog millionare rocks!

Definitely one of the must-watch this season (which is pretty much summer for the entire lifetime in Singapore).

Touching, truthful, meaningful, realistic (kinda. I mean, who gets to answer ALL in such coincidental manner?), and the music is apt and well, bolly bolly. I love the young Jamal fallin into the shit and keepin the picture intact still. hahaha. Just. Classic.

But yes, i was in awe with the entire movie until, the last dancing bit. Kinda make me tilt my eyebrowns a lil. Same reactions as u nessa haha. But well, it's Bolly Bolly hoy! Wouldnt be complete without it. Reminds me of the days i stayed home to watch some Vasantham indian movies. Wait wait wait, i know. But but some are pretty nice Ok! Gotta love the exaggerated panning of the camera and the sudden music overload as they do that.

DENG!

*throws cigarette*

Pans camera to man 1.

"You think i dare not kill you?"

DENG DENG DENG!

"Oh yes. I know you will. We'll just see..who gets to who first.."

*blows smoke out*

DENG DENG DENG DENGG! (death music)

Bwhaha. Classic people. Just classic. Gotta love it.

Speakin of deng deng deng deng(death music), my prince died! Aka my b-e-autiful fighting fish!
Ok my bad. But it seriously was too greedy to always wanting to eat worms to keep itself strong mahh! I cant always buy worms every week rright. So well. I tried lettin it eat the normal fish pallets (which they HATE. They have that look). And he refused! Anyway, tonight i'm hell bent on gettin a new fish! Yes, good luck to it too. I'M A GOOD OWNER OK. My previous goldfish stayed with me for over a year. Best record so far. Yeah so far..ooh prince! My bad!

So, this video is dedicated to you. Only cos i like the quirky bit to it. lol. RIP.

OMG i'll Kill to have her hair.

Watch out for Kill Hill Vol. 4 people.

DENG DENG DENG!

Fly me too the moon.

2009-03-12T01:12:00.000-07:00

Na uh.

I still refuse to admit that i'm aging.

But i cant help but feel the effects of my body against time!

I can so feel it.

Ouch!

The back of my neck is reallllly gettin creeky and old.

So f*ckin stiff and tight!

Like why cant tight be transferred to a better bottom area in the south direction or something, am i right or am i right??

Well, not that i dont already have a tight ass...

Anyway!

After 2 consecutive days of prelim paper sittings, goodness gracious. I seriously need a shifu to karate my neck or something, like pronto. Yesterday was the worst, with two papers in a day, aka 6 hours of 90 degrees posture (ok maybe not That straight. Just 88 degrees). I'm tellin ya, i can literally unscrew my head twice with your best screwdriver in clockwise direction, detach it, loosen the neck area with your mum's meat pounder, put it on my lap and then, proceed with the scribblings.

Yeah that bad.

Ok. Enough with the ramblings.

Just one more last paper on saturday (i know..), and then i can rest my neck forever.

Well, forever at least until the finals in may.

AND then by june, bam! Off to the moon!

So, to celebrate the joyous occasion and another,
let me play you a song through Diana Krall.

I'm so over it.

2009-03-03T00:10:00.000-08:00

It beats normal after a nightmare.

I gave myself a week.

And today, the huge tumour shall be removed.

I'm back world.

Snap.

It's a virtual roller coaster.

2009-02-28T00:58:00.000-08:00

Day 4

Don't worry.
It's just a matter of time before i come back.
Ignorance may just be a bliss in disguise, afterall.

I need the prescription badly.

2009-02-27T01:28:00.000-08:00

Day 3.

Is this real?
It's normal to stare into blank space sometimes.
It can be hard to wake up.

Sorry, i'm lettin you free.

2009-02-26T00:10:00.000-08:00

Day 2.

Ironic how emergency brake was taught today in driving class.
But at least it's better off for one than two.

25th of feb. My memories will remain etched onto you.

2009-02-25T01:32:00.000-08:00

I stray from earth.
Got the symptoms of a broken heart.
I stand alone.
Till the tears i drown.

Keep your soul my dear.
Stray away from me.
I cant let you know.
For tomorrow i wake up,
the next mask onto me.

Too long too far a stormy weather.
A rare chance upon each other.
The image so surreal,
memories seep through my veins.

Truth lies in the yearning of the ache.
Different from a single beat within.
Much as a victim,
Love like one.

So save our souls my baby.
Ten years down the winding road,
Your spirit still lingers at the corner.
Pricking every ounce.
Steering all my attention.

The beginning of the end.
A cliche of the sheets.

So please forgive me if i acted a lil strange.
There's so much i wanted to scream out loud.
When you look at me that way...

lil lulu

In between dead or alive.

2009-02-06T00:47:00.000-08:00

I love music remixes sometimes.

A music evolution if you wanna call it.

Recently, my brain got hooked and kept replaying, (no matter how many times i tried to stop my brain wave from repeating), the song by Flo rida ft Keisha's Right Round. Man, it simply rocks. I'm not a fan of black and rappy music, but maybe it's a remix of the 1980s hit "You spin me round(like a record)" that got me so interested. I love the catchy chorus then. Until, i saw the video. And boy hahaha, do i totally love it, EVEN more. Check it out.

*Drum roll*

Presenting,

The orginal version by Dead or Alive.

CAUTION, BEWARE, AWAS, WATCH OUT! : Warning, you may wanna put down any drink you have on hand and swallow, fast. Seriously. Like dead or alive seriously.

BWHAHAHAHAHA. Now now, you've got your drink on my face. And no, I really dont blame ya. *wipes tears from eyes*. MAN DO I LOVE IT! *slams table*

Other cover versions include artists like Dope, jessica simpson and Thalia, blah blah, just to name a few. Jessica's one is sexy. Not her real video though.

cLick for a Simpson!

And now, the latest by Flo rida. Ahh. Soo much better.

Ohh btw, i bought a new fish! As in fish for a pet, not your grouper for fish soup. A beautiful torquoise fighting fish aka betta. But sadly, it's cursed under my care (as usual). No, it's not dead, it's still very much alive thank you very much. Just that it's sick i think. Lethargic and lack of appetite. I dont know what happen ok! Fishy SOS hotline anybody! And i consider myself a decent pet carer, much as anyone like to oppose. Really!!

And dont ask me why a fish. When you are proclaimed to be an "adult", and you are still living with your parents who have a phobia of your dog suddenly exploding and fur shooting into their faces, then, yes, comes boring pets. But who say fish is boring? You you get to tap on the tanks and and and be amazed by how much they listen to you when u talk to them! Snap. That's how i rule people.

Ok. Back to assignment. And man, the music so spins me right round, baby round round!

Saved by the bell. Not.

2009-01-31T17:49:00.000-08:00

Happy 6th day of Chinese New Year everybody.

Come on, let me hear u roar,

Gong Hei Fat Choy!

Well the celebration just kinda comes and go dont you think?

At least it does seems like that to me. Kinda developed an immunity towards the excitement as i grow older. The only two things i look forward to are the pre-shoppings and outing with the cousins. Always the most happening and fun event.

So anyway, till today,

I'm very much bewildered by how many people still ask me for directions. And knowing me, you KNOW i'm THE direction expert of Singapore, and of course, some say batam. Hell, i cant even tell an old lady the way to the coffee shop near my home. And of course, i just put on my best face, doin the "best frown and fingers rubbing the chin" act that i just moved here. LOL. Well, technically, 5 years is pretty recent, rright? But i suppose it can be a karma thing goin on. Cos i'm always seeking help in the streets, naturally.

So i found this video which is absolutely an echo of my thoughts whenever i ask someone for the way. Watch the first 2 mins. Man, i love her videos.

Perhaps i'm a royalty of some sort.

2009-01-03T01:38:00.000-08:00

CAUTION! AWAS! WATCH OUT! Just a friendly hostile message that the following post will be long, and it may just alter your life perspective. Forever.

Have you ever felt different, like way way wayyyy different from anyone on this earth?

Different from your friends, your relatives, and perhaps, even your family?

I'm not talkin about being unique, because we all are, just simply by the one-of-the-kind fingerprints we possess. But, like as if, you are originally out of this world, that this current ground you are on just doesnt seem right for you, almost like you are an alien of some sort?

I do.

Now now. Some of you may think i must be crazy. Some wire must have been short-circuited in my brain, and you are close to reach for your phone and dial for woodbridge. Or that i'm obsessed or deluded because of the recent twilight streak that seem suspiciously deluding me (i've completed the first two books btw, and i'm fighting hard, like really hard to resist the temptation to read the 3rd and 4th.). Hence, the mad babbling.

Just hold that thought.

Allow me to continue my story, before you make any move.

Now, follow my instructions and breathe. And move your eyes to read on.

You see,

throughout my growing cycle I've always felt...kind of...peculiar deep within. Like i've a calling that i've yet to fulfill, that i'm meant to do something to help the society, to make a difference somehow.

It wasnt until recently that i managed to find a fellow counterpart who shared the same symbols, or should i say print, literally on themselves, that i finally got an answer. Or so it may be. For one of my hypotheses.

Do you remember one of the phases where you grow up feelin curious and interested in palmistry that you researched it online, maybe even go to a fortune teller, or allow your friends to have some fun poking and teasing on the lines regarding fortune, wealth, life, marriage and so on? Or maybe you are in that phase right now as i type.

Well, for me, it wasnt as easy to read or find the resources needed.

Mine was different. And it wasnt easy relating to anyone who has the same to even share some common chat topics.

Allow me to illustrate.

This is a typical palm that many of us possess. Having the heart line and the head line and another line plunging downwards.

I vividly remembered one of my friend sayin how when the two palms were put together, face up, to join the heart lines together, that the more "curvy" the lines are, the better looking your future husband/wife will be. So i did the same, palms together, face up. And it was fun, with my friends teasing me saying how my heart line and head line joined together to form a single line across the entire palm meant he is going to be down right fugly. So i always retorted with how my husband will be the "cha kuay teow" uncle across the street. What? They may be rich ok! Ok, no biases. Maybe just the chicken lice ah chek. But you get the point.

And then, one fateful day,

I went with my cousins and bro to Lorraine's 21st b'day bash and discovered, alleluia! another person having the exact same palms as moi! Hahaha and it was Philip, an old friend of our family who probably knows all our family's secrets and allll our not-so-glamourous side. LOL. I've been searching, peeping at other's palms whenever i can, and bam! I found it!

"AHHH! *chewing my curry chicken and bee hoon whilst eating*
You have the same palms too?!?! *showing him the surrender position*"

"OMG!!"

And then we chatted like we are in our own world. That's when i discovered that our lines were called the simian lines. The intensity of discovering a fellow mate possessing the exact same lines was hyperventilating. My face grew red.

He went on to explain that our palms used to originate from a powerful tribe and that we kinda "invented" the hello that everyone uses today. I was so intrigued that i went back home, and immediately researched about it. It was then that i discovered the tribe was called Parakee, or holders of the knowledge of the land, or manwolves ( i always have a fascination with wolves), who originated from the American Indians which we know of today. And others with the normal 3 lines are the Mahakah.

http://perakee.tripod.com/id2.html

Simian lines also have a lot of other names, such as palmer crease.

And that only 4% of caucasians and 14% of asians have it on at least one hand. It is much rarer for anyone to have it on both hands (1%), and horror of the horror! I do have a double simian crease! And i actually found Philip who has them both too!
AHHHH MUMMMMMY! Goosebumps, anyone?

Right, my own mother has one on her left, and she refuses to admit that my right is one, due to a very slight curve upwards towards the index which are still joint and straight, even though my left is confirmed. I kinda know why she's so persistent, either she refuses to believe that her daughter is alien, or she thinks it's bad. Well, either way, i'm still stubborn, or "as obstinate as a cow" as she'll like to put it. It's hard to shake it off unless u have concrete proof. Yeah, literally.

And so, research states that simian creases are related to diseases like down symdrome or rebella syndrome or 9 others. But if you turn out to be normal, like me, or perhaps mentally not, then you are perfectly normal.

And it's associated with intense emotions and focus that can be a blessing or a curse.
No wonder it explains why i'm such an extremist. People who do know me may even mistaken it as mood swings. Or why when i'm holdin my favourite book (of cos not ALL), nothing else surrounding me matters. It between me, the first page, and the last. And the tinkling obsessive emotion after. Or, between me, the movie, and silence in between. If you start discussing with me questions or your opinions or your god damn predictions of the characters, i'll not only roll my eyes but build up anger quickly.

Perhaps, the answer is just right in front of me. I'm no palmistry fan, but simian lines aint no palmistry. It's like Philip said, dermatoglyphics, psycho-dynostic chirology and physiology.
Now, WTF did i just type??

To understand characteristics of simian line, here's what i found online. The amazement of internet.

1. Intense. So much so that people often assume that they’re angry. (And it doesnt help that i'm also a scorpio)
2. Complex, forceful, goal-oriented, and egocentric.
3. Achieve and accomplish far more than most, developing techniques and inventions that will last for generations.
4. Have an innate feeling of being different.
5. Supposedly experience more misfortune, also brought about by the intensity. (For me, perhaps, the intensity of clumsiness? LOL)
6. Compulsive.
7. May be destructive or creative or both. (maybe just not the drawing part. HAHA)
8. Only believe in blacks and whites, no gray areas.
9. Work twice as hard, study twice as hard, fight twice as hard.
10. A law unto themselves.

But of course, we have our own hurdles. And believe me, they are HARD to erase.

1. Other people can't keep up. Be more tolerant and understanding of this. Try not to judge others for not keeping up with you.
2. You always do a lot more than others. Same as above; be gentle on others for not having your gift. You will always do more because you can do more. Love this about yourself but also learn to manage your energy and set clear boundaries so that you don't burn out.
3. Your energy is either on or off. All or nothing. People around you might see you as inflexible and may not support you as a result. Seek their support through mutual respect of each others needs. Try to be conscious of when you are taking an extreme view.
4. Feeling and being misunderstood (the black box syndrome). Communication in both directions tends to get scrambled. Ask for feedback, double check communication if you think people have misunderstood you.

Typical examples:
a. Your intensity comes across as anger or frustration
b. people give their opinion and you hear it as criticism
c. You may come across as cold and aloof when you think you are being considerate

My jaw just dropped discovering that. My pandora box is now opened. Well, kinda.

So there. This is a trivial of the "simian-creased people". The word unique seemed to possess so much more meaning now.

But whether you are a parakee or mahakah, we have to co-exist. Mutually exclusive.
Some of the world famous characters who have them include Mohammad Ali, Tony Blair, Henry Miller and Radiohead singer! LOL.

So next time if you see me laughing at nothing funny, be serious when it's a lighthearted mood, or get anxious over a yoga session, do not be alarmed. It's just, well, me.

Now with this new knowledge, if someone called you an alien, perhaps you can welcome it with a smile.

And know, that you are indeed, truly special.

Some other extra links to find out more if you want.

A very, very serious note.

2008-12-30T20:16:00.000-08:00

So I woke up today feelin somewhat...different.

It must be the psychological aspect of it all.

Now penning the last entry of 2008, i can still remember the last few days i spent in 2007 and maybe 2006 or even 05. I was feelin the exact same feelin I'm currently experiencing right now. A little bitter that I've to be yet another year older. What, you were thinkin of nostalgia? lol.

So I've successfully trudged into adulthood. Kind of a big deal. Or maybe not. Maybe I'm just nonchalant. You see, it sounds like an oxymoron to what i just mentioned, about feelin bitter. But dont you think it's all about the numbers adding up to a bigger and less pleasing to the eye age that I've to witness, and henceforth compel myself that "it's time" to undertake responsibilities now that I've come of age? Whoever said we cant take responsibilities when we are younger, like maybe 18? Or push it further to say 26?

Yes, I'm kidding myself. Party like never before and to "enrich" our childhood and teenage years seem like the best bet, just so we are conditioned to believe that our diminished opportunities to act young are depreciating further over the years. I say, to the hell with that. And plus, a wink.

I suppose i kind of have an advantage to be able to feel like this. Tryin to be carefree and yet a little tied down to learn to step up to life, perhaps enhanced by my petite frame. People still check my IC every now and then, to get drinks, to go into clubs, to an NC16 movie. I kinda like the cover that seems like a blessing in disguise somehow. I like how it blinds my reality in my underage indulgence. It almost seems like I've the license to kill, in 007 fashion of course, my biding time to age along with my peers. The mentality of it all.

Bottomline is, i dont wanna grow up. At least not so fast. And i dont think i ever will be, in one way or another. I wanna be able to squeeze every ounce of freedom and youth there is for the age, before moving on to the next number. Now i know what i want for my life resolution. Not just 2009. But the year after and years after it. To live like a Yes Man. Say yes to things i didnt dare, didnt think, didnt know. But, with a teeny tiny restrain at appropriate times of course. And no, i'm not obsessed with the movie. Just that the message has obviously touched some wire in my brain and triggered.

But of course. I will lose the battle eventually, looking at the increasing greying hair on my parents and creases on their once youthful faces. I will give in one day, to take over the bills, and insurances and being a working adult that i somehow still cant picture myself.

The circle of life will always win. Call me immature, timid, impractical or recalcitrant. But i, will be stubborn to defy it with what rebellious angst of a youth i am for now.

So, on a last note,

With a toast of an elixir to life,

I wish everyone an exuberant and indomitable 2009 and years ahead. ;)

Break my Neck please.

2008-12-19T23:55:00.000-08:00

Can you feel the ground shaking anywhere 5 miles in radius near the cinemas worldwide?

I can.

And majority of them are female homo sapiens.

Why?

Cos the bloody movie Twilight is here, that's why.

Sick of all the posters and movie trailers playing itself on the MRT over and over and over and over again, I've finally decide to fall into the bandwagon. Caught it yesterday and it really, it wasnt that bad.

*Spoilers ahead, but you'll watch it someday right? Na uh. Dont deny it.*

Call me a typical female fan or whatever, but i kinda like it. The concept of vampires, it's so seductive, and the immortality of life, and any other person with pale diamond skin and gravity defying hair playing the piano. YIKES! MAMA!
I especially am in love with the baseball scene, and the family rounding up to defend bella when James couldnt resist a lil packet of potato chips aka "the snack". Freakin coool. Probably mar fav part of the whole movie.

Many hardcore fans of the series would have yelled injustice to the movie being different from the book, yada yada. But seriously, wake up your idea. Not even Steven spielberg or George Lucas or Obama can do an exact 100% replica of the book onto a movie. Movies will somehow pale in comparison. Like Harry Potter. So. Face. It.

Although, although, i do find the middle part, where bella found out about him, you know, and him wanting to test her by repeating "he's a monster he's a monster" and grew a tantrum throwing tree roots and playing hide and seek with her just kinda a little too cheesy and draggy. A little soap opera-ish. And I cant help but be like, yes, we so get it. She doesnt mind. Move on already.

Plus, i was kinda giggling inside when bella made a reflection about the 3 things she was sure about after that night. If you guys can recall, she mentioned, "but there were 3 things i was sure about. 1. that Edward was a vampire...". And my mind kinda went, yeah no shit! lol.
Ok. Somehow, i have a feelin the testosterone driven guys dragged by their gfs to catch the "romantic epic comparable to Titanic" are cheering on that paragraph over here.

So there, yes, i'm a fan of Twilight now. But only cos it involves vampires. Period. And i still enjoy the movie, admist the squeaky, giggling teenage girls that decided to stick heart shaped stamps on their eyes, and despite me rolling my eyes at the same time and scowling at their occational too high a pitch "oooo he's sooo cutttteee".

The girls at the end had me LOL-ing.

No, i dont think straggling them helps.

But yes, i admit I'm still secretly a cushion-hugging-loving-chick-flicks kinda chick of the 21st century.

And, I'm proud of it.

Bring it in at the right time. Please.

So yeah. It's been a month since my last update. So kill me.

Anyway, i'm baaack (in californian arnold schwarzenegger terminator now the current governor kinda accent).

So few weeks back, (omg time passes really fast)
I crashed one of Ester Loh's corporate finance lecture, two actually, cos i'm not from her class and didnt know her teaching pace, and i was really amused.

Not by her teaching skills, as many have had complained about,
but by her teaching Method.

I can see her enthusiasm in finance, as evident by her mouth open widely with every finance term, eyes staring at her notes and scribbling them, inking hard on the papers, and her well, method of explaining.

She can get a tat longwinded, which i interpret as being detailed in explanations, going through the pre-steps in arriving at equations and concepts, which is probably why many students complain that they get "lost" in her train of thoughts. Honestly, you've no idea what lost is until u get lost in the tv series LOST. It freakin' ridiculous.

OK, back to topic. Nothing wrong with her teaching in my opinion, she is a good lecturer actually. Johnny Tan's just more precise and gets to the point in the best summary form, hence, duped as the "CF guru".

But well, that doesnt mean i'm a big fan of hers now. I am just entertained by the array of different personalities portrayed by different lecturers style of teaching. Like Phil. Stephenson's mumblings and his dry humour, the all time favourite Nageb's extremely crappy yet somehow very knowledgable balding head of his, Frances' eye-rolling kinda funny, and in this case, Ester's overly enthusiatic - like she's in her world - as if she's dangerously going to explode way of teaching.

You see, this is the image that somehow creeps into my mind everytime she becomes more and more dramatic with every sentence.

Somehow, i have feeling i'm goin to miss all of this when i graduate.

But then, a question pops in my head. If, and if i ever want and able to, become a lecturer in the future, what will be my teaching style be like? Hmmmmm.

People, bring on the popcorns please.

Hot hot hot!

18th Nov.

2 days after my 21eme birthday. Sweeeeet.

Anyway, shall not post pictures here. Just go facebook and check it out y'all!
It's so the facebook mania era now. Enjoy it.

Just wanna give a shout out to all who came, Thsank u bery, bery much. And love the presents! *squeeze pink plush toy and jump in the air, blowing kisses*

Right. Like i'll really do that. Well, you know. ;)

Ok. So i was youtubing when i saw this HILarious video.

But before that. You guys heard of Beyonce's new song, Single ladies?
It's alright. Not really my kind of song. But it's catchy.

And then...

There's this parady. OMG. Seriously rofl-ing. I love Saturday Night Live. They should have it in Singapore!

Everyone loves a guy who has a sense of humour. And multi-talented Justin Timberlake is just that hot property. LOL.

BUT but. You know what's THE hottest song, at least for now??
It's this. Sizzzling hott.

Co-produced by Justin Timberlake and Timberland.

Need i say more?

Once you go black, you never go back.

5th of November. Singapore time.
12.45pm.
History was made.

4th of November. U.S time.
11pm.
History was made.

Wherever you are, history has cast its precious stamp, at least for the current century that you are living in.

I can imagine newspapers undergoing the busy schedule of printing now for fresh coverage tomorrow morning, journalists camping in their offices with their sidekicks and computers busy updating and reporting on the results of the most exciting (at least to me, at least as far as i can remember anyways) presidential election of the year, and bloggers worldwide typing furiously in their blog-o-sphere to air their views. Yes, i'm jumping on the bandwagon as well. No reason why. I just have to.

Change people.

That's the bloody key word that drives this whole campaign, if not to propel Barack Obama to victory. Change to rescue the worst financial crisis. Change to rectify the seemingly unresolved war still ongoing in Iran and Iraq, change to save the planet plunging into a peril situation. Just look at the headlines in our newspaper. We are bombarded with the discouraging news of stock prices skyrocketing to choking levels, banks with hundreds of years of history being crumpled to dust, developing countries trapped in tension for unexpected natural disasters, contaminated food products claiming lives and trust, and back to earth, Singaporeans complaining about everything, Especially the minibonds and high notes 5. Seems like reading it from a book or watching a movie isnt it.

Although, i must admit, in my personal opinion, that majority of the people who blindly throw their life savings in such investments (mostly the elder generation, if not all) shouldnt cast the FULL blame to the financial advisors at all. THEY choose to put all their eggs in one basket. THEY choose to presume that "low risk means NO risk". So how. Suffer lohh.
No answers for the credibility of the advisors though.

ZZZzzz. Falling alsleep yet? lol.

I supported Obama all along because the minute John McCain chose to speak that he advocates the movement and policies of Bush, i knew his judgement was flawed. Bush's administration is perhaps one of the worse leadership i've seen. An example? Just look at the current war situation. Always a classic example. Controversial? Yes. Resolved? Hell no! And it's draining resources, much less the taxpayers moolah aka money, and thousands of americans who are waiting vainly for the return of their soldier family stationed there.

And to not be moved by his speech. Omg. His speech makes me speechless! John McCain's isnt too bad either. But Obama's inspiring.

Enough words. Take a look yourselves.

McCain's concede speech.

Now now, he did put up a commendable fight for his policies against his opponent. So i respect him albeit the choice of Palin as his vice-president candidate. lol. The look of disappointment of the voters makes me go, "aww". No reason. I just have to.

And now, our change.
The transition at Chicago Grant Park.

A-mazing. Period.

The best 44th presidential election. Ever!

Yes, the hormones during pms can do great wonders such as make you type politics in blogs.

Yes, we can.

Fey the vote!

2008-10-20T19:28:00.000-07:00

Roftl.

The expression i never knew what was the long form of it.

Until...i saw these videos.

LOL!

Tina Fey rocks!

And i think in comparison back to earth, and by earth, i mean Singapore,
Michelle Chong in The Noose rocks it too!

By far, i think Obama is leading by a notch. People should so vote for him! Lest McCain drop dead before his term finishes and well, good ol' Palin takes over. And we all know what's gonna happen. To the moose. hahaha.

Just gotta love all these crazy humour. *do the Palin wink*

Speakin about voting, this video is so deliciously tempting.

Makes me wanna reach out and push that button. Reverse psychology at its best.

I say. oii!

2008-10-13T19:11:00.000-07:00

Ok. Just thought i should blog down my birthday wishlist like everyone else.

Feels kinda dominating. Power!

Ok Here goes.

Dont worry. I'm not that greedy.

To the birthday angels on earth, or heaven,

I pray that i'll like to have...

*bubbles*

+ A nice clutch bag, reasonable size, about my height (TakeN i think)
+ A good watch, feminine yet sporty (TakeN)
+ A good wallet with multiple compartments, yeah, even the car boot (TakeN)
+ A set of new hair
+ Some extra inches of height
+ Bikini body
+ Ipod classic or iTouch or iPhone
+ A pug. That's a dog, just in case some of you may ask what brand that is.
+ A mini cooper. *in super sweet 16 style* Please daddy please!

See, repeat after me. Lulu is not greedy and loves practical things.
Easy, breezy, beautiful.

Now, if you are feeling broke, or wishes to flaunt your creativity and think outside the box from the above restrictions, here's the list that i Dont Want to have.

- cutesy legally blonde pinkish oh-my-god stuff (I'll DIE. Like dropping on the floor, heart not beating, mouth wide open kinda Dead)

- miniature bears that millions of girls worldwide would scream about. I wont. Period.

- chocolate cookies and candies. I know. I'm weird. Period. But milk chocolate is an exception. Period. Ohh wait, that prevents me from getting my bikini body. Damn it. Period.

See. Not that difficult right. But if all else fails, you are welcome to throw a thong over. Wink. But not a used one please!!

Right. Having insomnia the past few days just thinkin how i should go about holding my birthday. There are two options.

1. Holding a Good (by good, i mean indulgence kinda good) dinner with close friends and relatives

2. Apply for permit for my void deck and invite all my neighbours and friends and relatives dating as far back as the Qing dynasty to celebrate. Ohh and Vanessa, this can be our birthday cum wedding celebration. Extravagant!

Chalet is out since they are charging me peak charges in nov and it's too late for now to book one anyway.

Ok. Shall send the invitation soon!

Watch the space.
