i hate pms.
i've been having these grueling headaches for the 3 days, and also having terrible moodswings and restlessness. but yet still having to work, having to deal with insensitive people who asked me pointblank "y are your hair so dry?", having to interact when i just feel like shutting/clamping up, and controlling my cravings for sweet food/junk food. (i just finished half a pack of chips today! damn)
met up with yufen and yiwen for popeye chicken at century square yesterday. the chicken biscuit was simply terrible, chicken not juicy and too salty. the only thing i like was the mash potato, and service from the girl who served us was bad - giving us only ONE serviette for a family set meal (common sense will tell u we'll definitely need more than that!) and when yufen asked for more, she gave us the black face. did she forget her name is displayed on the cash register and we can complain v easily?
then met up with celine, paulene and serena this morning for dim sum at imperial restaurant at tampines 1. go try it, the dim sum is pretty good in my opinion, order no. 36 千层糕. i like! wanted to bake muffins in the afternoon but napped the whole afternoon instead! yes, waking up at 9+ on a saturday = not enough sleep. =D nvm, i'll just bake tmr, i finally succeeded making banana choc muffins last week! wanna experiment with apple cinnamon and choc muffins tmr...
it's the long weekend next week. finally have 3 days to sleep in. will be going to sitex though to accompany yufen to get her laptop and help my bro buy his router. and the last 2 weeks of dec when i will be on unpaid leave. heck the unpaid, it's still leave. CHEERS! wanna watch this hk drama called 宫心计 during that break.
i think the leads. think the full series will be uploaded by then, so can chiong finish at a go.
man it's going to be 2010 very soon, and i'll have stepped into the working society for 2 years come May/June when my contract ends. plan to take a short break before looking for another job. think my bro should have ord by then, and we can finally go to japan/hong kong (i hope)! o and i can't wait for universal studio theme park to open! S$66 entrance fee sounds reasonable to me. =)
if only i can find a well-paying, enjoyable job! well who doesn't, right? but market research jobs = long hours, loads of work and usually underpaid. but what fields can i switch to, if i do switch?
pondering...

been watching so many Whose line is it anyway videos on youtube these days... they're hilarious and here're some of my fav!

the last i updated was almost a month ago...
no choice, i haven had much to update on - prob aside from my bday. i'm thankful to all my dearest friends and colleagues who celebrated with me, you know who you are (i'm wondering who's reading my blog nowadays, given that it's so rarely updated!) and i received wishes from people who i care for, and of cos a Happy Bday call from xiaozhu himself! so i'm satisfied, though the call is super short. lol
i actually don't like people singing bday song, just feel kinda awkward, though i do appreciate the effort! :) and i guess when one gets older, bday just become another usual day. but at least, bday is a day that no matter how busy your friends are, they will try to find time to celebrate. i love the gatherings and catching up. :)
but i realise, as i get older, i'm becoming more temperamental and petty.
it's probably because i have higher expectations now, or maybe i'm just getting more spoilt by my parents, or sometimes i just think too much - sth commented by many people alr, but how to tell your mind not to think?
i'm irritated at myself when i forget impt stuff, especially during work/when i actually left my present at Marquee last Sat, and also when my work is not up to std when i know i can do it better.
i don't mind waiting, but not like an extremely long period of time. like how i totally turned black-faced when i had to wait 1 hour for my food to arrive yesterday.
i also dun like people to criticize what i like in front of me, say whatever you like behind my back i don't care. i'm experiencing this quite often recently, which is annoying, especially if it happens early in the morning.
and the other time, when i was on the train on my way to work, there was this lady who kept pushing me with her bag cos i think my bag accidentally touched her a few times, to the extent that i almost fall. i actually frowned and stared at her and make the "ze" sound. and in case you're wondering, there was no one at her other side, so she most likely have done it on purpose. and gosh, it was something so childish...
i know i need to change my temper for the better... but haiz, abit hard to control
anyway, basically i've been working, tuitions, watching movies and all the other usual stuffs. ha, like i said, nothing interesting or exciting. but this mth, i'm going to F1 on 27th race day! cos Backstreet Boys will be performing! at first i thot i wun be able to go cause the tickets were sold out, and i certainly din expect myself to be THAT disappointed when i found that out, but luckily found someone who's letting go his tickets, so yeah, will be going! hope it's worth all the trouble
and in a few weeks' time, shows like CSI, CSI:NY, Brothers & Sisters etc will be back! woo~

thanks to H1N1, i'm given 3-days MC from 3-5 August for sorethroat, cough and runny nose as a precaution. The doctor said the chances of it being H1N1 is really high, so gotta wait and see. hope it's nothing much really, especially after spending the whole of Sat night with 6 other friends at clarke quay! so, now i've the time to blog on my KL trip.
Day 1
on the comfy coach, all ready to go. my mum was really excited!
as for us, we were still kinda in lalaland...
after 6 hours, we finally reached our hotel The Fereral.
our room...
went to a nearby place to eat b4 gg for the training match...
no matter how much i like eating cai peng in Singapore, i'm nv gonna eat it in KL.
now for the training match...
merchandise sold outside the stadium. din get any though
we were there pretty late, so couldnt get good seats - only managed to sit on the 2nd level.
training pics, thanks to the 10x zoom of my camera. there are more pics on facebook, so can go there take a look if u're interested. ha, i'm not gonna waste my time re-uploading them on my blog all over again. =)
dinner at Jalan Alor, which is just 5 mins walk from our hotel.
the food there are quite similar to SG's, pretty nice and cheap, though my colleague said, if you're paying SG prices for the food there, it means it's quite ex already!
went shopping around, and saw this indoor roller coaster at Times Square.
cool huh...
but other than this, shopping was pretty boring, prob cos it was Friday night. there was another highlight though, Krispy Kreme donuts! =)
Day 2
In order to get good seats for the match, we were queueing outside the stadium since 12+, even though the gates were opened only at 3pm, and the match started only at 5.30pm.
waiting outside the stadium with fellow fans...
in the stadium under the sun. while waiting for the match to start, whenever fans wearing other clubs' jersey were spotted, everyone started boo-ing them.
applauding the fans when they came out for their warm-ups before the match
line-up
=)
a nicely-captured moment
thanking the fans again after the match...
again, more pics on fb if you're interested.
went to Petronas Twin Towers after the match..
of cos we had to go there since we were in KL already... and my dad had to take this pic lying on the ground in order to capture the tower.
dinner at Jalan Alor again... this time at a restaurant/eatery thingy place. the food there was ex! RM2.50 for a bowl of plain rice?! but the bak ku teh was really nice though.
Day 3
as our coach would be leaving only at 3pm, we did some shopping.
went to Jalan Petaling, KL's chinatown. nothing really interesting, too many fakes.
interesting way of packing coffee-takeaways... the coffee was really thick and fragrant! i love it!
shopping district...
stretch of atas shops at Pavilion - Aigner, Boss, Burberry, Chanel, Mont Blanc...
and before we left, we bought a few of the local papers and we spotted ourselves in a few of the pics on the Man utd match! =D this was a nice short family trip. next up, Japan/HK next year after my bro ORD!

communication is a 2-way thing. BOTH parties LISTEN and talk. (though i know i'm guilty of talking too much in front of ppl like liu, celine, grace!)
it's just so frustrating talking to ppl who always talk about themselves. whatever things i say, their reply will always be "i think i... i... " and more "i...".
i'm hoping for at least a "y do you think so?" or sth with "you".
i have a bad day and i complain about it. instead of any word of consolation, they start saying "o i had a terrible day too... i kena this, i kena that...", TOTALLY IGNORING what i just told them. wth. but of cos, dun get me wrong. i'll be most willing to listen for hours if they ever need my listening ear.
i saw something i like that they totally disapprove, they roll their eyes/give me THAT look and walk away (So extremely rude), or cut me off, when i do listen to them talking about the things THEY like. (i'm not saying i always do that, but at least i make the efforts)
i start telling them sth, they cut me off and talk about stuff that interest them. (Alright i know, i'm boring...)
so pls understand when i choose not to tell ppl anything anymore.
i know this whole post is ultra narcissistic, but i'm not communicating with anyone here. i can rant whatever i want w/o getting interrupted.
i'm also still learning the balance between listening and talking. who say communication is easy?
*pls i'm not pointing fingers at anyone in particular, just a general rant. this is such an incoherent post. i know, it's my pms again.

I've been catching up on this show called Brothers & Sisters recently after watching the first season on Channel 5 years ago... watched season 2 and this scene totally cracks me up.
first 3 mins of the video - Justin confessing to his bro Kevin that he had feelings for their "sister", who they acknowledged/knew about only recently. who uses the word "imbreeding"?!
this is the scene whereby Kevin proposes to his gay partner Scotty, one of the sweetest proposal ever, especially since it's coming from the ever-so-cynical Kevin. o and Scotty is so cute. ha... o and do you know the actor Luke Macfarlane is supposedly dating Wentworth Miller in real life... well, not that you're interested to know i guess...
anyway, just a note, if you can't accept gay r/s or 2 guys kissing, then this is definitely nt a video for you.
personally i really like this show, the family is constantly having complicated issues to resolve, which is interesting and fun to watch. but with our media's zero tolerance towards homosexuality, it definitely wun be arriving at our shores anytime soon... thank goodness for the internet! watching season 3 now...
and just a side note, i wanna get the new iphone!

i've been so busy with work that i dun have time to post this really late post.
anyway, went for aaron kwok's concert last Saturday with my bro and yufen. it was great! though the fact that his back was facing us most of the time, and that i dun really know his songs kinda dampened my mood a lil. so suay la, of all places, i picked the East block, when all the cameras and reporters were seated in the West block, meaning he faced there most of the time. =.=
but still, he's a really great performer. i wld say 80% of the songs were fast songs. and it's so difficult to capture nice pics of him cos he's always moving/swaying/dancing. hah. but no complaints! =)
and my fav are the opening and the water-splashing segment!!
Here they are.
Opening act cut into 3, found on youtube:
This is actually the opening of his HK concert, but well, they're pretty similar. :) i really like the golden powder effects!
a vid i took - the water-splashing segment. :) really cool. but again, it's just a pity he's facing the other side most of the time.
anyway, here're some pics.
doing gymnastic-inspired stunts while singing.
=) a pretty outrageous costume.
if only the pole is not there
came down during one of the songs to shake fans' hand.
the Guiness-World-Recording-breaking largest revolving indoor stage. AMAZING.
Aaron Kwok performing in it...
let's play the Spot-Aaron-game... see where he is?
and the revolving stage opened to another setting.
alien fighter costume?
Aaron and the piano.
explaining how he was taught to play the piano - guided by the teacher note by note. =) really funny.
talking on stage before the water-splashing segment.
encore, encore and more encore!
the concert lasted all the way from 8.30pm to 11.45pm. 3hr 15mins. ultra value-for-money!
anyway, was googling around and came across this pic.
can't help posting it! LOL!
i was telling my bro the other day, when Luo Zhi Xiang comes back for another concert, i'll definitely treat him to that. haa... so pls come back soon! rumour has it that he'll be having another tour next yr. hope it's true! can't wait already!
i'm becoming a concert addict! there're qt a few which i'm interested to go to, but well, gotta save $!
anyway, went to watch Drag Me to Hell with my tutee today after tuition. i'm quite surprised that the show got such high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. it's just not my kind of show with the computer-generated effects and weird scares, but it did scare the hell out of me in some parts!
i'm really looking forward to Ghost of Girlfriend's Past, Harry Porter and TRANSFORMERS!! WOH!
i'm feeling so sian right now, it's so hot and humid, i've got some work to complete over this weekend, and my bro has booked in alr cos he's on guard duty tomorrow on a Sunday so i'm bored. =(
yawns. probably gonna catch the latest episode of Harper's Island b4 starting work later.

here's the 3rd pic we took... as stated earlier, i dun like it, dun like the angle of my head and eyes in the pic. =( and when my mum saw it, she was like "you look fat" with her hands pointin to the cheeks. haha, but i'm generally fine with ppl telling me i'm fat cos i know i'm not slim or wadever. but she also commented she prefers the other 2 pics.
anyway, it was qt an eat-alot-and-drink-alot day yesterday!
had lunch at Eight Cafe & Bar (http://www.numbereight.com.sg/index.php) yesterday as they are having a 1-for-1 meal at $8.80, and i must say i really enjoyed the beef rice! their mushroom soup, which is included in the Chicken Salad set, is light yet tasty, and you can really taste the mushroom. (I've drank soups which totally did not have the mushroom taste = bad.) The ambience is also wonderful, (took a few pics but not with me) and we ended up having a 2-hour Friday lunch! haha
and in the afternoon, our department had a beer brewery tour, and at the end of the tour, we were treated to free flow of beer... the beer tasted nicer and fresher than those outside, but my conclusion is i still dun like beer.
and after that, went out with a few colleagues for dinner at a fabulous place called Fou de Fa Fa at Capitol Tower. Here's a short article on the place: http://www.soshiok.com/articles/11365 if you're interested.
i love the lady boss! she's super-friendly and recommended a few dishes to us. i had smoked salmon sandwich, the toast was nicely done with sunflower seeds on top, the salmon was fresh and yummy. I tried Paulene's Avocado wrap, which is ultra delicious, love the avocado and the CHEESE! u know i'm a cheese lover! and of cos, we ordered a jug of alcoholic drink to share. can't recall its name but it was really refreshing. in short, i'm not really a sandwich person but i like that place alot.
so after that we went to a house party, organised by one of my colleagues' friends, at one of the shops along Haji Lane. drank (again) vodka with soda, which was ultra strong. din feel really comfortable so we girls went off first. wanted to go to Blue Jazz but it was full house. so ended up at a Shisha place for a drink, and no, we din smoke that and also no alcohol this time round.
things din actually go the way we originally planned, but still it was an interesting day for me, cos these r things which i usually don't do! haha...
anyway, i simply adore this performance in American Idol Finale.
13 idols with Jason Mraz singing I'm Yours. i'm prob bias cos i LOVE I'm Yours! =D
enjoy~
