i still can't sleep. it's 4 freaking am!



ok. i think i'm getting darn vain. but i'm a girl. it's my right isn't it?

so.

i had lunch with my family. [extended family]


dim sum at tung lok


if ur reading this, hi zhi!


and we caught a glimpse of mark's boxers.

if u cant see it properly, it has spongebob all over it. i really dont understand guys' obsession with spongebob. i think every guy i know at least likes spongebob. even like 20 yr old guys.

i think the sheer absurdness of the entire cartoon calls out to guys' innate childlike quality. it's like their thing. women can multi-task and guys have their inner child.


and i saw this cute picture in some ad. fish cute. char like.


went out with cousins [i like this picture! i think its nice (:]


and then dinner at keppel club.

the surprise birthday party!


alot of pepper in mona's soup!

the sand, the sea and alot alot of water.

we built little streams around mok-land (:

and then the no blindfold surprise.

lulu the dead horse and then off to singyi's place where we played nigel's water drinking game.

coco lee the coconut! one day nigel slept with a coconut. and the result's coco lee.


steve had to touch his nipples for a prolonged period of the game.

i love it when we just get together.

waiting for xj's pictures (:

photo update:


nice picture at ikea


baby niece glereal. yeah her name sounds elfish.
see how she sleeps, with her chubby lil arms just stretched out like that? i want one. any chance chris daughtry can father it?

i just finished the horse-shaped pinata. i named it lulu. so when we whack it, it'll be symbolic.

(:

oooh. my schedule for next week is.. bah.

monday 2-11
tuesday 3-11
thursday 3-11
friday 2-11

but i'm looking forward to the $207 i'll make at the end of next friday!

i don't know why my customers keep making fun of me or something. for example, one guy put 200 pax on the booking list, then when i asked table for how many, this other customer was like, "how many do you think? unless you want to join us then 6 la."

and this couple was betting on my age! like.. WHAT? they asked me over and were like, "sorry ah.. just wondering, what's your age?" then when i said 18, the wife smacked her husband's thigh and said "i told you!"

WHAT! i don't look my age? then there were those other people that asked rhetorical questions [can takeaway the fork?/can top up chocolate fondue?]

work's fun though.

and i need the money since i found this website. singaporeans selling/trading their slightly used clothes and whatevernots.
Sg Sell Trade

which reminds me.. i want to sell my creative zen vision [white]! 30gb, 3.7" screen, full package, free cover, no scratches. any takers? i'm thinking $320.

Friday, March 16, 2007

and so the onslaught of pictures begins.

ok it's not so much. just that im not the many pics kind of blogger so this is alot.

I FINALLY GOT OUT OF THE HOUSE TODAY.

went to orchard and bugis with my family. i think i have an obsession with clothes. clothes and chris daughtry, yes (:

so anyway, there's this lovely cheap cafe at bugis that has THE best shepard's pie. i love my pie. nothing beats mashed potato in pie.


im excited about my food.


oh yes. im very excited about my food.


nah she doesnt look that happy about her spaghetti. notice whats in her hand? shes such a bookworm.


before: papa the atm.


after: he's happy to spend money on his daughters!

i'm finally working tmr. 6pm-12am. come see sab and i! vivo haagen-daz.

if you lived in america. how different would your life be?

if i were in a normal american school.. i'd either want to write in the school's newspaper.. or be a cheerleader.

[oh mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind.]

two extremes... like the wakefield twins on sweet valley! i'm... jess-abeth.

and in college i'll try out for a sorority! like bimbo...

and i'd date non-scrawny guys on the debate team and break the jock-cheerleader cycle! am i the only girl who thinks a guy who can argue is a turn on?

so thats it. if charmaine were in america, she'd be the weird chinese bimbo geek.

tell me what you'd be ok?

click this link.
it's so so so real its creepy.

*edit

steve's such a manslut.

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

since i have a new phone, courtesy of papa, i decided to deck my blog out in pictures!

i love bluetooth and usb cables.


thats jie in her room, with no make-up.... the horror of charlotte.


mama at fish and co. can you see that big swordfish just jumping out of her hair?


and i think this picture is so dawn yang.

i'm so bored at home. someone ask me out pls.

HAPPY MEHUL MIHU MEHO THE LION DAY!

rawr.

to our favourite bad boy.

mehul! we love you and miss you in this terrible dreadful long holiday. i can't believe you're twenty. TWENTY. like a big fat in-you-face 20.

you're an old man. and yet you're going around saying you're a lion like my bratty little cousin. his identity crisis is more serious than yours. his identities include a tiger, a pussy cat and a puppy.

bah. you're the cutest twenty yr old make-believe lion anyway. oh wait. did i say cute? i mean... ahem. bad boy.

so when are we coming over to your new house? we've waited MONTHS. we deserve to at least frolic in the garden.

alright. hurry and reply my sms, bad boy. tata!

------------------------------------------

AND! i got my results....

*drumroll*

0.7 improvement from last semester!

yay me. YAY.

and jie got A for her attachment. which is equivalent to five subjects. yay her!

back to my really unappetizing lunch. bye.

here's a thought from watching sex and they city.

[yes i know i'm obsessed. i've finished the first two seasons in two nights.]

you know how girls always wait for their prince charming, their white knight or something. and after break ups their friends all go, 'ah don't worry. the right one'll come along.'

what if the white knight never shows up?

what if.. there is no such thing as the right one. do we just settle? my parents were like, 'oh sureeeee. you think you want to marry for love, but when you hit your midlife, boom, it's all about if he can support your lifestyle.'

so much for old couples walking hand in hand in the park. my parents are so not like that. way to burst my happy little naive bubble.

so what does poor little snow white do?
sleep with the castle guards?
stay with the seven dwarves and keep them happy and smiling? [i think grumpy gets her last, thats why he's always unhappy.]
go to the local sperm bank and fertilize herself the not-so-old-fashioned-and-less-fun way and have babies to keep her life fulfilling?

or do we save ourselves and stop waiting for some big strong testosterone-driven male to rue the day. cos aren't we all just waiting for something or someone to save us, to rescue us from the monotony of our mundane lives.

so what can newly independent snow white do now?

burn down the forests like they do in indonesia. then use the flat land to build skyscrapers and become really career-oriented?
hook up with the really hot fireman trying to save the burning forest, have mindblowing emotionless sex and use him as a boy-toy in her newly self-sufficient life?

what would you do. keep waiting and hoping on the white knight who may or may not come, or build a more substantial dependable plan to secure a future for yourself?

even if the white knight does come, can he provide a loving foolproof future? i mean, there could be really seductive busty milkmaids waiting behind the palace walls that'll give him a toss in the hay and then sue him for paternity suits months later.

and even if snow white gouges the white knights eyes out to keep them from wandering, will there always be fresh goats milk and bread on the table? what if the king decided there would be no more wars ever cos he married a hippie and changed his belief system. then the white knight would be out of job and be scrubbing privies day to night and day again. then he'd be a smelly knight and snow white would be compelled to relief her sexual urges with the palace guards or the really hot fireman.

let's say they have no problem with food and they have a nice section of the palace to live in and the king loves wars. in fact, he loves them so much, he fights other countries wars. the white knight gets sent off to iraq and gets decapitated. does snow white remarry? even if she does love the white knight so much she can't love any privy-scrubbing man any more than she loved him, would she marry for companionship?

what about kids? the white knight needs heirs to carry on the 'white' family name. what if snow white can't bear sons, would he have an yokoono/maypang affair [fyi, i'd never ask my friends to sleep with my husband. that just creeps me out]? even if snow white bears many sons and they grow up big and healthy like their father, what if they're stupid [like their dad of course. snow white's a potential threat to donald trump]? what if they can't pass their jousting-101 test?

what if white knight has a pony instead of a stallion and can't give snow white the ride that she really wants? then she goes for the duke of wellington whose stallion's much nicer to ride than the white knights. and i don't really blame snow white for going for the duke's. after all, these medieval folks don't test-drive the barn animals before the marriage.

if snow white and the white knight can pass through all those tests of medieval life, i wish them well.

and so the story goes of snow white and the white knight. they lived happily ever after, maybe.

this was my favourite post ever. i hope you enjoyed it. (:

oh boy it's late. i've been sleeping at 5 and waking up at 2 these few days. someone needs to take me out of the house. there's only so much of the day oprah can entertain me.

i saw chris daughtry's it's not over today. he's. so. fine. darn that wedding ring. HE'S MINE YOU OLDER WOMAN.

gosh. if there really were white knights.. i want mine to be a hot rich fireman. who can sing. yeah. oh wait. 'rich' and 'fireman' don't go together. i'm gonna have to rethink that.

i was watching sex and the city. and charlotte's boyfriend just offered to get circumcised cos she wasn't comfortable with him being.. not.

isn't that so sweet??

Monday, March 12, 2007

"why don't unmarried women just marry a fat guy? why don't they just marry a big fat tub of lard?"

oooooh. i just started watching sex and the city, it's so cute. it's like bridget jones' diary made into a serial. with american characters of course. yep.. no british frumpies.. no london farmer dj westminster college 23 yr old ppl.

i'm so bitter.

back to my tv show (:

Sunday, March 11, 2007

for anyone who wants to know. my only shift this coming week at work is friday from 6pm-12am.

i want more shifts!

Saturday, March 10, 2007

why is the song 'all i want to do is make love to you' in my head?

anyway.

work was so so fun! so, there're like tons of ngee ann ppl. and 2 from early childhood. they're nice. i think i may ahve scared off one of them by my incessant talking. yeah i told them how blk 52/53 is haunted and how mcm ppl hate kids. they were pretty shocked (:

so. remember when mok said, 'oh don't worry. first day only have to clean and carry things'. and how estella said that first day can taste ice cream.

NONSENSE.

we got there, put on our uniforms, and they threw us into training and work immediately. hell, i did everything except kitchen. being host is fun :D you stand there to greet people and ask whether they're dining in or taking away, then you raise your hand for other people to take over.

my first table was this group of really endearing ah bengs. apparently they asked sab why she refilled their glasses every five mins... and my second table was this blond guy who was really nice. which brings me to singaporeans.. they're just so typically rude.. even when they thank you, sometimes it doesnt feel sincere. my first two tables were really nice people though~

oh ya. when i went in, there was like a buzz, cos apparently the manager's name is charmaine. wowee! and my asst manager said he was shocked when he saw me cos apparently i look like some philipino star. [no, not charmaine star. she and i are on totally different levels.]

my co-worker asked where i got my accent from. sheesh. i think sab and i are somewhat outcasts when it comes to verbal singlish communication. and and.. i was taking this table's order, they spoke in chinese but i replied in english, cos, when i brought them to their table they spoke english. so i know they understand. [and yes, it's also reflex] so i turned away for a while, and i heard one of them say, 'wo bu shi gen ni jiang le ma.. ta bu hui jiang hua yu de..' [translation: didn't i tell you, she doesn't know how to speak chinese..]

hey hey hey!! i'll have you know im BILINGUAL k.. b3, B3!!! and a while before they came i directed a chinese nun to kopitiam k.

ANYWAY. people are so nice! i wish steve was with us though. he can eavesdrop on what they're talking bout and tell us. i can't wait for ALL you guys to start working and tell me how ur first day was like. yeah. even 50 cent.

look at this video. i love america bashing. bush bashing. whee.
Great Moments in Presidential Speeches

oh yeah. sab. want it, crave it, beg it.

Tuesday, March 06, 2007

i totally agree.

i don't want a three stories big house with a swimming pool and a hot tub and a library and mirrors on the ceiling. [tho that'd b really nice.]

i don't need tons of cash where i can shop wherever i want and have sales people at my beck and call. [but oh.. how nice.]

i don't crave a fantastic job where i can order people around and have them scurry to do my bidding like busy little ants. [tho that'd be really fun.]

when rae told me her aunt predicted i'll have some ceo job and i'd be earning more then my spouse i was pretty horrified. i think i'm so down-to-earth on most things. in primary school, i wrote an essay on how my dream job was to become a housewife. oh man. i should have been born in the 50s. coupled with the baby-bearing hips thing, i'd be pretty sought after in the marriage mart huh.

wife with child-bearing hips for sale. bag for head sold separately. batteries not included.

when i was younger[like, 7] when i thought of what i wanted in life. i thought to myself. i want to be a good wife and mother. you know the kind.. the subservient woman sitting at home tending the kitchen. when the husband comes home, relief him of his tie and briefcase. ah, straight out of a scene from bewitched. i wanted to be the one who prettied up the house, kept everyone happy. the one my kids would come to when they had a booboo.

i think i've hardly changed. heh. strange that i'm in masscom where it's 70% girls and it's supposed to be like, wooohooo, girl power!

i measure success by the happiness of the people around me and how much they love/hate me. reminds me again of why i love babies. when i have a baby, it'll be forced to love me, to need me. aww. i can go like. *cue bimbo accent* wow. im like.. sooooo important. cos like. i have a human being.. who like, needs me.

bah. im not secure enough to shout out in orchard road, "I LOVE ME! I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SMACK-MY-ASS-JUDY LOVE MYSELF!" yeah. i'm not ready to do that yet. one day i will. someone join me? any takers? [i don't know who judy is. but she seems nice and gentle.]

ah. huge self-admission coming up.. i feel more whole when i'm with someone. it's like, *cue bimbo accent* like yay. cos like, someone likes me. so like, that means i'm an alright person.

so that probably explains the guy craziness and the falling again and again and the inability to let go of things. aha. so pathetic (:

so so.. guys that i like. no big deal. just another save-me-by-using-you tactic mostly. HAH. i win you loseeeeeee.

still very much the girl who sits at the back of the class copying schoolwork and notes. not talking to anyone. scared to talk to anyone rather. i've never been the outgoing one. one of many laments bout myself. that little girl comes out to play very often. when i'm in a situation that i've no control over. or something. i thought i killed her in sec 3! but that bloody girl revived or something.

update on future stuff!
song to play at wedding: i want to grow old with you - adam sandler
girl baby names: dylan amber, alexis jade
boy baby names: micah

i know this part'd be freaky for people who don't know me well. so. thank goodness only good friends read my blog :D. or else i'll come off as some baby-plot-hatching maniac.

*cue bimbo accent* you should like.. totally click on this link. cos like this song is so totally cool. this mum.. who like stays at home, like a stay-at-home mum.. yeah. she wrote it. and it's like, about remembering your dreams from your childhood. and like. i think it's really sweet.. so listen to the lyrics..

country music, y'all~!

faith hill - fireflies

so i reading stevie's blog and it got me thinking that.. he should get a tagboard.

and i just watched american pie: the naked mile. i think singapore should have it too. after exams, college students relief stress by running a mile around campus buck naked.
I WANNA RUN THE NAKED MILE.
