An Atypical Day

  • Nov. 25th, 2009 at 2:03 PM

On the 13th day of my rest day [that's yesterday], after finish painting the 6th chair and a failed attempt of a laundry rack, I've decided to go to the gym.

After that, I met up with Serene to cath the show "Fantastic Mr. Fox". The show was kinda lame but funny. Except, at some point, there were interesting underlying points of interests. How so? I'm too lazy to post those points up.

After the show, Serene and I shopped around and gossip about celebrities. We then went for dinner [mixed rice; stir fried veg, steamed eggs and tofu; healthy right? ;) ] and ate the packet food at mac and a cup of mac's green tea each.

Of course being a new iPhone user, I practically flaunted my iPhone, unintentionally, to her. But frankly speaking, I'm more interested in seeing how her BlackBerry works. I'm interested in smartphones for some reason. But Serene, if you are interested in knowing more about iPhones you can death for YouTube videos on 'iPhone tips' and 'iPhone torture tests'. They are really cool and kinda addictive. Yes I'm addicted.

For today, I'm bored out of my mind. Watching videos on YouTube and facebooking. Playing with my apps on iPhone and stalking profiles via iPhone facebook.

What to do, what to do!?!?

I'm reading Twilight and New Moon to 'prepare' for my upcoming Twilight Movie Marathon with Mervix on the 2nd Dec.

Watching Spongebob Squarepants now. Their Krabby Patty is making me hungry.

I'm trying to figure out what to do while I'm collecting dust at home.

After the crazed celebrations with various groups to christen me into the official non-minimal-wage working life, I had my first day of real relaxation yesterday. And it was torturous. Whole hours spanning across the day with literally nothing to do.

Let's see what I did in my unproductive day today.

1. Watched Hana Kimi (Taiwanese Version)
2. Watched Hana Kimi (Japanese Version)
3. Watched Hana Yori Dango (Korean Version)
4. Watched Hana Yori Dango (Taiwanese Version)
5. Watched Hana Yori Dango (Japanese Version)
6. Watched Oprah
7. Watched Fairly Oddparents
8. Watched Spongebob Squarepants
9. Sleep
10. Went out for dinner
11. Watched Simpsons

I literally spent the entire day in front of a rectangular-shaped thing [Monitor screen, TV, Pillow, Spongebob, Styrofoam box containing dinner, iPhone]

Off to see some boobies, just cause they are round... Oh, in case you really hate some girl and wish to insult her, just do what I do, tell her, 'Looks like age is finally catching up, can't fight the big G now can you? Things not as high, not as firm, few years down the round and you can't even find them...'

Temptations

  • Nov. 8th, 2009 at 5:40 PM

Was comtemplating on eating Mac yesterday, but resisted eventually. Ate green veg instead. At least the iceberg lettuce in my turkey sandwich constituted as a veg, right? I was so proud of myself. Eating sensibly and enjoyed my absolute fav Toffee Nut Frap at starbucks...

Then woke up this morning from a really creepy night. Didn't have any nightmares. Realized that after watching horror shows, I usually don't have nightmares. It's the waking momens that really creep me out. Every sound makes me jumpy and sudden appearances like a bicycle whooshing past me just puts my heart into overdrive pumping mode. Then when I do get to sleep, just silence... No dreams. No nightmares, but no pleasant screams either. Nothing eats away imagination and creativity better than fear.

So there I was at midnight trying to stay up, waiting for my bro to return home so that there will be someone be there to make the house a little less scary when I know that when sleep comes I'll be peaceful and staying awake only prolongs my suffering but you know, when you are scared, logic rarely kicks in.

Eventually, I just decided to brave my scary room [only after watching a scray movie do you realize how much a house can creak at the silent hours of the night] and just sleep...

When Mervix so bravely send me home after the scary movie when I was too freaked to walk home alone at night, [yes I know, now you know why I meow so much] I saw still pretty creeped out, I saw a trail of spilled drinks that reminded me way too much of a trail of dried blood at the bus stop near my house. Wonder how long will my paranoia last...

Anyway, woke up this morning and I was reminded of my Mac craving by my sleep deprived brain... So I eventually got a Big Mac meal to satisfy it.

So depressed by my lack of self restraint that I shall go on a eating binge later to comfort myself. It isn't called comfort food for nothing...

Then I shall feel guilty about my planned binge and go for a run... I'm hopeless I know...

Went to Shokudo at Raffles City with Shi Boon to catch up and we shopped for knives at Metro... We pretty much picked the same knife and It cost $300+. Both of us didn't buy it at the end.

At Shokudo, they forgot to charge me for my Green Tea Ice-cream with Red Bean on Crepes which cost $7.80, [my bro didn't believe that I only knew about it after I paid and saw the receipt, I would have totally got them to charge me if I knew it earlier]. But the dessert was only so so...

Looks sad right? The ice cream was so small compared to the crepe.

Anyway that's all for now... TTFN

iPhone

  • Oct. 31st, 2009 at 12:06 AM
As most of you would know by now, I'm inducted into the iPhone family officially since yesterday.

The most amazing thing was my plan that I signed up for is kinda similar to those cute little NS plan. Here's the rough break down of my plan:

Unlimited SMS
300 mins free talk time [outgoing]
unlimited incoming talk time
1 GB data coverage

At a monthly fee of $45.50 [cheaper than the $56/mth with more benefits]

And with the signing up of this plan, I bought the 32GB White iPhone 3GS at a low price of $408/- [for the $56/mth plan, the 32GB 3GS iPhone would have cost $438/-, so we saved $30 at a cheaper plan, did I luck out or what?].

This good deal was brought to our notice by a fabulous staff of Singtel hello! shop at Tampines mall, Nisa... [I originally wanted to get the $56/mth data plan so my bro can buy the 32GB 3GS white iPhone at a cheaper price, for the $39/mth plan, that iPhone would have cost $500++.]

I swapped the 3GS iPhone with my bro's White 16GB 3G since he paid for the phone. I'll probably upgrade it a year from now.

Previously, when my bro and I went to sign up for his plan, he took the $56/mth and when I asked if there is a NS plan or something similar on offer, the service staff at that time told us it would have been more expensive for us to buy the iPhone [instead of $400+, she made it sound like we would have to buy the phone at the ORIGINAL price].

So yesterday when I got the plan, you can imagine how upset my bro was. We felt cheated cos there was a better deal existing but it was not recommended to us.

The best part was that we didn't even have to ask for offers yesterday, Nisa took her own initiative to check for us if I was eligible for any better offers and then presented the best options to us, while weighing it against our original choice. It still felt that I had a choice and was not forced to choose her recommendations, even though her recommendations was clearly the better plan for me. I am extremely happy with her service, which those who knows me knows that it is rare for me to even be satisfied when it comes to service.

So now being a proud owner of an iPhone, I can't keep my hands off it. The only down side is that I'll have to wait till 2nd Nov for my number to be ported over from Starhub [Sorry Starhub, but what I want, you don't offer] to Singtel and I can start using my iPhone like mad. Meanwhile, I'll have to rely on my home's wireless wifi connection to use my iPhone and it's various wonderful applications.

On a side note, I call Starhub to deactivate my GPRS service so as to not incur data charges while using my iPhone with the Starhub Sim Card from yesterday till 2nd Nov. [Apparently, it was already deactivated, cos I forgot that I chose to deactivate it when I first sign up my line {non-contract base, so I can switch over to Singtel for the iPhone without having to pay the termination fees}].

So if my next Starhub bill arrives with data charges, I'll be very, very cross indeed, cos when I called Starhub yesterday, I asked 3 times if there will be data charges, and do I have to worry about it cos I'm using the iPhone and they said no, there will be no chance of data charges cos of the deactivation of the GPRS.

iPhone FTW!!!

Journeys

  • Oct. 27th, 2009 at 7:19 PM

When we take the time to look back at what we have done with our life, we may find that large span of time were wasted on doing non-essential stuff or activities. But on further reflection, we usually find that those times were spent in bliss and joy.

Things that seem unimportant usually provides the most fun simply because there isn’t any stress to fulfil a certain objective or requirements. We just do them for the fun of it or it could be boring, but stress-free.

Life is about journey. As someone once said, “What is journey? Is it distance travelled? Time spent? Or is it the process that really matters?”

We spent our juvenile years finding ourselves, only to conform, during our adult years, to the standards of society made out of people who are just like us. The few enlightened among us move on to being true to themselves while the rest languish in the chains formed of our own limitations.

Limitations. Isn’t that what bogs our progress and let us evade happiness, be it self inflicted or forced upon us? The rules and regulations that prohibit us from attaining our desire; things that we want but can’t have, tantalising not because the object of desire fails to satisfy, rather the limitation causes us to want but not have.

Many journeys start of without us realising. The journey to maturity, some of many whom never complete despite age, started like a thief, creeping up on us  without our knowledge. When did we decide to grow up? At what quantifiable time has that particular journey begun? When will it eventually end?

Unfortunately, life doesn’t come with a handbook. No all knowing council to answer all these questions. So where do we stand. Alone. In the dark unknown of the future. As all journeys begin, we step into the future without knowing what awaits us.

Life, the greatest journey Mankind has ever taken, is probably the scariest yet the most common, unavoidable project. And no matter what you do with your life, it always end in death. So at the end times, when you look back, what would be your proudest moment?  Would you be satisfied by what you are doing now? Regardless, the only thing that I can be certain of the future is death. To quote yet another interesting philosopher,

“Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.” – Epicurus

The time is near for me to take the next leg of the journey. What would I do with it? I shall ponder.

Gram's out of hospital, but she's feeling really bad after the procedure... Don't really know how to make her feel better...

These few days, cuz Carol has been bring us out for food orgies... OMG, tastes so good but damn sinful lah~~!

CGH has one of the worst service I have ever seen in hospitals. I mean, c'mon, How can you say that there isn't medicine because you forgot to order from the pharmacy? If the onus is on the family members to order medicine then I have nothing to say, but it is your job to ensure that a patient takes his/her medicine on time, which means that the basic is to ensure you have the required medicine!!!

And the staff nurses rarely seem to agree with the doctors... One say able to consume solid food, one say no solid food allowed... One say can discharge, one say can't... People, what happen to basic communication? And why, oh tell me why, can't you call the bloody doctor to reaffirm? His handphone got stolen by a passing stray dog? Fell into a river? My god you would have thought that the doctor died or something...

They say that hospital food has improved over the years, I can't say for the rest, but CGH hasn't...

And most importantly, My Grams is not a pincushion... Stop poking her unnecessarily...

So people, never step into CGH... N.E.V.E.R

Quotes To Describe My Feelings

  • Sep. 3rd, 2009 at 10:19 AM

Your mouth is open, sound is coming from it. This is never good.

TV is a good thing. Bright colours. Music. Tiny little people"

How do you get to be renowned? I mean, like, do you have to be nowned first?

Let me answer that question with a head-butt

I was just thinking about the life of a pumpkin. Grow up in the sun, happily entwined with others, and then someone comes along, cuts you open, and rips your guts out.

Well, I'm a hair's breadth from investigating bunnies at the moment, so I'm open to anything.

Let me get this straight: you think I'm evil if I take a group of teenage girls on a camping trip and I DON'T touch them?

Bite Me.
Tantalus is known for having been welcomed to Zeus' table in Olympus, like Ixion. There he too misbehaved, stole ambrosia and nectar, brought it back to his people, and revealed the secrets of the gods. Tantalus offered up his son, Pelops, as a sacrifice to the gods. He cut Pelops up, boiled him, and served him up as food for the gods. The gods were said to be aware of his plan for their feast, so they didn't touch the offering; only Demeter, distraught by the loss of her daughter, Persephone, did not realize what it was and ate part of the boy's shoulder. Fate, ordered by Zeus, brought the boy to life again (she collected the parts of the body and boiled them in a sacred cauldron), rebuilding his shoulder with one wrought of ivory made by Hephaestus and presented by Demeter.

The revived Pelops was kidnapped by Poseidon and taken to Olympus. Later, Zeus threw Pelops out of Olympus due to his anger at Tantalus. The Greeks of classical times claimed to be horrified by Tantalus's doings; cannibalism, human sacrifice and parricide were atrocities and taboo. Tantalus was the founder of the cursed House of Atreus in which variations on these atrocities continued. Misfortunes also occurred as a result of these acts, making the house the subject of many Greek Tragedies. Tantalus's grave-sanctuary stood on Sipylus. But his's honours were paid him at Argos, where local tradition claimed to possess his bones. On Lesbos, there was another hero-shrine in the little settlement of Polion and a mountain named for Tantalos*.

Tantalus's punishment, now proverbial for temptation without satisfaction (the source of the English word "tantalize" - UK "tantalise"), was to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches. Whenever he reached for the fruit, the branches raised his intended meal from his grasp. Whenever he bent down to get a drink, the water receded before he could get any. Over his head towers a threatening stone, like that of Sisyphus. In a different story, Tantalus was blamed for indirectly having stolen the dog made of gold created by Hephaestus (god of metals and smithing) for Rhea to watch over infant Zeus. Tantalus's friend Pandareus stole the dog and gave it to Tantalus for safekeeping. When asked later by Pandareus to return the dog, Tantalus denied that he had the dog, saying he "had neither seen nor heard of a golden dog." According to Robert Graves, this incident is why an enormous stone hangs over Tantalus's head. Others state that it was Tantalus who stole the dog, and gave it to Pandareus for safekeeping.

Once again I've yet to learn the virtue of Thrift.

Spent close to a 100 bucks on books and clothes... It was really only 2 books, a shirt and a pair of jeans... I know I probably can't afford it, but at the same time, I can't afford not to. My wardrobe is in a dire need of an overhaul and it has been too long since I've last indulge myself. I guess I'll be spending the rest of the month in poverty and scrimp and scrap out a meager living.

Can't believe that a facebook quiz said that my first love will start with the letter K... Crap

Feeling rather down lately, yet at the same time feeling more relaxed than ever. Maybe I will only be happy when I'm miserable... Why do I like to find pain, seemingly to possess the inherent natural ability to find the most potently painful path in life and stubbornly follow it.

Anyway, I saw a drink on sale at 7-eleven that was named [I assumed] 'Horny G'... Tried it for giggles only to find that the drink contain a few suggestive active ingredients and something called Horny Goat Weed... ._.|||

Went to the site Bing and binged myself... Binged Myself, what a queer phrase...

As many of you know, I've recently been parted with my beloved DS and am currently working towards the new DSi...

Just yesterday, I've taken over my bro's PSP and now rocking to the games of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2 and FFCC... Even the cute Prinny: Can I Really Be A Hero has not escaped my pleasure...

Will this affect my decision to procure a DSi? Probably not... But while working to that goal, I now have a hand-held device to entertain me...

The downside? I've been trying to touch my PSP's screen whenever I get overexcited... I guess that's just the mark of a DS-ist...

Bad Day...

  • Jun. 13th, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Friday, 12th of June was a very bad day for me...

First I burned my left hand in the morning with boiling coffee, including the coffee powder... The stupid coffee powder stuck to my hand!!! I had to Rinse, Soak, Wash, Peel... Actually there's another step, but I didn't go to the hospital... Put the back of my hand on a white towel, poured ice around my hand, and grabbed the edges of the towel to keep the ice on my skin, walking around with a white ball [that's the towel] around my left hand and was called Doremon... Nonsense...

For the next event, I watched 'Drag Me To Hell' with, SiSter, Tiff, Amanda, Vincent, Yu Ying, Geraldine, Pauline, Yu Xiang, Karen and her friend... 80% of the time, I was pretending to sleep... So that I can close my eyes... And whatever horror parts I did catch was pretty funny in a way that the graphics was pretty unrealistic... Or it was so gross [disgusting, not really that scary] that you would go ewww~~~ rather that Arghhhh!!!!... The movie may not be to my liking, but the company was good...

Finally, to wrap up the day, I ran into rats after the movie... *Shudders*

Jun. 3rd, 2009

  • 8:23 PM
I'm sorry, it's just ... (deep sigh) You know, it takes time. You can't just ... have coffee and expect -
There's just so much to work through. Trust has to be built again, on both sides ... You have to learn if ... if we're even the same people we were, if you can fit in each other's lives. It's a long... important process, and ... can we just skip it? Can-can you just be kissing me now?


Quoted from Tara...

Contemplating about this quote... It is the absolute favourite quote of mine... It just feels so romantic...

After meeting K once again, I just can't get K out of my mind, and dreams... I truly understand the feeling of being on the hard end of one-sided-love... And in itself is a love as valid and pure as any other love... It's not about getting to be with that person... You'd rather die than to reveal your love to that person and end up having him/her avoiding you... It's about making sure that the person is ok... That the person is happy, even though you are not part of that happy picture... You'd be happy just to see that person from time to time, having a laugh with that person, or swapping life stories... Just normal friends... It's not what you crave, but it is enough... Just barely, but still enough...

But if by some miracle, that person returns your love, you know that that is all you need in life to carry on... No hardship too difficult to wade through... No obstacle to high to pass...

Months of telling myself that I'm over K, all it takes is one look at K and all those months of efforts are but for naught... I'm back to square one... Maybe there isn't a place for me to move on... I'm stuck... And I have no will to move on... I'll just stay in the shadow, and be happy for K... I'm a fool for ever thinking that it is possible for me to stop loving K... No matter how much K changed, I still love K...

Maybe that's love... A string that attaches my soul to another... Something that goes pass looks and wealth, health or career... A basic, simple connection that is illogical and unfathomable... It just is... And never changes...

In sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, through thick and thin, I'll be yours, however you want me...

Sad ending to the 5 day R&R

  • May. 17th, 2009 at 6:50 PM
Today is the last day of my 5 day work-be-damned rest day... Tomorrow will be slogging on schedule...

But unfortunately, I've lost my DS... Most probable place was a GV when I watched a movie in the morning... Since that was the last place I've touched and seen my beloved DS... It could have dropped out when I was taking out the large bag of... erm... sweater....And my DS was placed on top of that bag of sweater... So most probably my DS dropped then... So many possibilities that could have happened to cause a senario that seperates me from my DS... Or I could have just dropped anywhere along my journey after the movie... Feeling a little down...

Kevin says its retribution... ZZZ... Oh wells...

To the one who picked up my DS... Please treat my precious as if you would a baby... It is sensitive and emotionally frail... Do not place it on a hard surface, it prefers a yellow satin cushion with a pikachu design quilt made from mink... It hates water and loves to share a lovely meal of chips and beer...

Oh well... Another reason for me to upgrade to DSi... Start saving... Hehe...

Even though there is more than a month till Transformer 2, I'm highly anticipating the release of the movie... Just think of the chaos, the unruly customers, the various opportunities to complain or stir up the hornet's nest... I'm having my very male dictated 'happy' moment just thinking about it... Dun worry people, I'll be going down to show my, erm, morale support...

Here's an account of what made me furious in my previous post...

On the 13th of May 2009, I went down to Golden Village Tampines to watch the movie 'Star Trek' with Serene. She used her GV Pass to procure 2 tickets for 'Star Trek' at 1755 show time. We went for dinner at 1710 but unfortunately was late for the movie. It was 1620 when I enter Golden Village and I wanted to ask if I could change the time. Serene advise me against it, stating reasons like 20min Adverts and Trailers that would ensure us of not missing the show and also it is not good form to request a change of timing for VIP tickets. Serene told me that if I wanted to change the show timing, I would have to approach the duty manager, as she wishes not to get involved with it.
 
Despite above said advice, I insisted to at the very least try to change the show timing to a later time, a 1825 show time for 'Star Trek'. I approached the box office and asked one of the box staff if it is possible to change the timing. He then proceeded to consult with a duty manager through a hole in the wall. Minutes later, the duty manager NG SHI NI stormed into the ticketing counter, took the tickets to examine them. She then proceeded to Interrogate me by asking, in an extremely rude manner, "Who does this VIP pass belong to?" I replied as calmly as possible that the passes belong to a friend. She immediately asked, "Who's your friend?!?!?" in a tone that suggest that she is very irritated. I told her frankly that it belongs to Serene, and I asked if there was any problem [from this point onwards I was being Ignored by NG SHI NI], trying to maintain a smile so as to calm her down. Me! A customer trying to placate a Duty Manager!!! How absurd does that sound?
 
If the problem was the fact that it is against company policy to change the timings for purchased tickets, especially in the case of VIP passes, then I would have expected NG SHI NI to explain to me that fact in a polite tone, not to vent her anger at me. If it was explained to me that it is impossible to change the timing due to company policy, I would have accepted the fact and let it be. What irks me the most was how NG SHI NI reacted to the situation. Her blase disregard for a customer's concern and her attitude towards how she should attend to a customer makes me question her suitability for the position she is currently holding.

 
NG SHI NI then proceeded to bustle around, showing me what a chore it is to serve me and that she is so above it all and gracious by trying to solve a problem that I had the audacity to impose on her!
 
Throughout the entire process, she has shown not a shred of decent Service Attitude, only Hostility against my presence. At the very least the staffs had the decency to look apologetic for NG SHI NI's outrageous conduct. Does she feel that because I am friends with her colleague, therefore she could afford to abuse me, service-wise, in such a manner? Or perhaps it was due to the fact that I did not spend any money on the tickets [being VIP passes], therefore she treated me as if I was a second rate customer, undeserving of any proper attention, perhaps she feels I should be on my knees thanking her for the fact that she bothered to come out and attend to my problem.

How in the hell did someone like her managed to secure a customer service front line job and managed to hold down the job for so long? That bitch...
