Hmm.. it's that time again.. I always get these sort of mood swings once in a while.. when i tend to get a little on the depressed side. I can't get it out of my system.. it just comes and goes as it wishes. It doesn't have to be something that happened to me to cause this.. i can just get it out of the blue.. all of a sudden.. like the tidal wave that swept malaysia and several other countries.


Speaking of that, i really feel for those whose relatives or friends are victims of the disaster. I can't imagine not knowing the life or death of my loved ones for hours and days on end.. can't imagine losing someone i care for just like that with no warning whatsoever.. can't imagine having to search through piles of bloated and decaying bodies to determin if they're among those lying there unmoving forever.. can't imagine having a conflicting thoughts abt whether i wld find whoever i'm looking for in the mass of cold corpses.


Although i'm not of any religion.. i offer my prayers..

Lord, we are your people, the sheep of your flock..
Heal the sheep who are wounded..
Touch the sheep who are in pain..
Clean the sheep who are soiled..
Warm the lambs who are cold..
Help us to know the Father's love through Jesus the shepherd..
Help us to lift up that love and show it all over this land..
Help us to build love on justice and justice on love..
Help us to believe mightily, hope joyfully, love devinely..
Renew us such that we may help renew the face of earth..
Amen.

May peace be with everyone..

Changed a new tagboard.. this one is neater and easier to edit. Nth to do so just change for fun.. =x


Started off the day getting irritated by some road-blockers. That's really something that can get me pissed off real quick.. ppl blocking the whole stretch of path and moving like slugs. And like that's not enough, they either pretend to be deaf or are deaf or just too busy exchanging saliva with each other while gossiping that they simply can't hear u say 'excuse me'. Sometimes i get this urge to start stepping on their feet from behind like i used to do when i 'played' with some of my guy frens when we were younger. And yea i know that's kinda childish.. but hey i did mention 'when we were younger'.


Anyway, i managed to get to work late by 15 mins (thx partly to those 'snails') and then it's the usual boring routine. Sometimes i wish i can get a job catering more to my interests (who doesn't?) and pays well (of coz). But then again, i also don't mind marrying some well-off guy and stay at home to shake my legs all day. (Yea my wishful thinking.. but one can hope rite..? =x)

Man.. i'm really on my way to becoming a human panda.. i really need to sleep earlier!! And the freaking concealer works like shit.. i mean it does cover a little but the shadows under my eyes are still visible.. At this rate i'm gonna start wearing shades whenever i go out very soon.. *cries in sorrow* Jeez..


Anyway enuff whining abt my soon-to-be-panda eyes.. had another late nite out last nite with si and eggy. We decided at the last min to go ktv pubbing at boat quay again. This time we went to a ktv pub called 'Raw'. I can even describe the sign.. bright red background with big white letters.. visible even from 1km away. (Alrite i duno abt the distance but the idea is it's bright.)


The reason why we chose that pub was coz it looked less crowded than others.. and we knew why after we got in, ordered a jug of carlsberg (i think its taste is worse than tiger beer but eggy thinks otherwise.. anyway i think all beer tastes bitter) and sat down looking thru the song book searching for smth to sing. Basically, i think it isn't as updated (the songs available i mean) as compared to the pub we went before (just a few shops away). But well, the mentioned pub wasn't open last nite so we decided to make to with the one we were at.


There's one definite advantage to having less ppl in the pub tho.. that is we dun have to wait too long for our turn to sing. And basically we had the pool table to ourselves as well, besides the ppl running the place and a few others at another table. Oh yea, the sofa was really cozy too. (Another advantage - we get to take the sofa altho there were only like 3 of us..)


At 1am+ i left the pub with eggy (si had to leave a little earlier) and being as tired as i was (i had been tired more often than not these few days so it's nth new) went to slp as soon as i got out from my bath at 2am+..


And that's leaves me still wondering.. when on earth can i actually start to slp earlier.. like before 11pm? Probably never.. coz obviously i'm still blogging rite now. I'll *try* to slp before 12 tho.. that's the thing i hate most abt myself.. i think i have the weakest will in the whole dang world.. if not i'd probably have a successful diet eons ago.. *sigh* i think i need to go live in africa for a few yrs.. or some god-forsaken place where junk food is not so ready available..

Well! Too tired to blog ytd.. or rather, this morn. Went to watch "Kungfu Hussle" ytd. Altho there're frens who told me that it sux.. personally i still think it's not that bad.. funny at times.. but on the whole kinda lame too lolz.


Went to starbucks after that to sit arnd while waiting for some other frens to meet up with us.. but they were REALLY late so we went to kpool to waste some time. @ arnd 8pm+ we *tried* to walk to somerset to meet up with si. Notice i used the word 'tried'.. coz what we actually were doing was shuffle along the crazily large crowd on the way there. Imagine travelling in the mrt during the morn traffic or after work traffic.. and u'll know what i mean. Altho i like the lights and atmosphere at orchard.. i doubt i'll go there for any countdowns in future.. unless i suddenly feel an urge to join the crowd in making sandwich humans.


We then made our way to boat quay where we went to a ktv pub (forgot the pub's name).. sang abit (while at the same time trying to get eggy to open his vip mouth to sing).. then left for marina south. (Phew we sure travelled alot ytd..) Reached the Breeze Bar (wee i remember this bar =x) near old Canto to join Dion and his frens just in time for countdown.


@ 2am+ we left the bar to stone abit in a nearby coffeeshop where Dion almost concussed in the toilet there lolz.. =x Managed to catch a cab (we waited kinda long for one..) and i reached home @ 3am+. Wanted to blog but was really tired.. so went into 'dead-log' state in my bed @ 4am. Besides i still gotta wake up for work like 7 hrs later.


I'm glad i managed not to slp at work.. if not i think my dad's gonna ban my late nites out. Gotta get ready to meet si later.. gonna go pub again tonite heh.. yea yea i know i'm tired but well it's christmas!! I seldom get to enjoy myself this much at other times of the year u know.. (i think it's more like i seldom get the excuse to stay out so late.. =x).. well update on more later! And before i forget, merry christmas everyone! =D

Lalala~ christmas is coming~ too bad no more hanging of stockings.. too old for that le. ~>_<~ I used to love doing that.. then wake up with lots of presents inside.. (my dad put them there of coz.. i wasn't so naive as to believe a plump old man wearing red coat and riding a sleigh was gonna come and distribute gifts..) But i still love christmas anyway.. i like all the lights and songs and cheery mood. Too bad this yr there wun be someone special celebating it with me.. but altho i might feel lonely sometimes i still have my frens.. and i'm sure i'll be able to anjoy myself this yr.. ^^ And i still got an unfulfiled dream that i vowed to fulfil in future.. that's to experience a real white christmas (with snow falling all arnd) somewhere with someone special.. =P

Tired tired tired.. nowadays always feel tired.. >_< Anyway just came back from lovehurts bbq. I think not bad lor.. at least i dun feel awkward at all at this outing.. managed to talk to more ppl and i dun feel like an outsider anymore. =x Oh ya.. someone also told me that i look nicer with my current hairstyle.. *happy* LOL =x Actually i kinda felt like staying overnite.. but i dun think i can last til next morn without passing out. Besides i can't slp with my contacts on and i didn't bring my solution and etc stuff. In fact, i'm juz barely keeping myself awake to update this.. so i guess it's time for me to knock out.. oyasumi nasai..

Wee.. finally got round to changing my blog layout.. not so gloomy anymore. =x Cute ma cute ma~? I like this anime character.. so kawaii ne!! Well, kawaii in this pic anyway, he's suppose to look cool in the original anime. =x


Went to a mini bazaar with my mum today.. actually the bazaar was so mini that i couldn't find anything to buy lolz. My mum just bought a load of fruits back.. and i ended up as her luggage maid again. >_< After i helped her drag the load back to her office i went down to POSB to apply for my debit card.. i need it for my driving lessons.. to make things more convenient for myself. Then went to parco bugis to redeem some vouchers. Bought a pair of ankle socks for $9.45 and sports bra for $47.25 from nike shop.. expensive sia. -.- But the guys at the shop were pretty frenly.. and helpful.. and not bad-looking also.. so not so bad la hor. =x


Didn't really feel like shopping arnd today on my own so came home after that to rot. I wanna buy new clothes tho.. more clothes~~~ xD

Getting kinda tired of looking at this black blog.. seems kinda gloomy to me. Probably will change another skin some time these few days. See when i get the mood to do it.


I really miss my personal space.. really. At least when i had my own room last time, there was someplace where i could hide in if necessary.. like when i can't stand my mum's nagging, or when i wanna do some personal stuff that i dowan my parents to see. Now.. *sigh* i dun even get to have much time to be by myself since i work during the day with my dad and at nite when i'm home my mum's home as well. I only get thursday and sunday off but i usually have some appointments on those days. My parents are now looking for another place to move to.. preferably a shop with living quarters above. Really, i think i've got more than my fair share of moving house in my life already. I guess in the mean time i can only go on tolerating and tolerating.. hope my very limited patience can last long enough.. ~_~

Whew.. haha.. having fun playing with Jessie.. and having my face licked full of dog saliva lolz. Damn she's soooo cute! And playful as well.. altho naughty at times. But i just love her frenliness and her short little tail. Makes me laugh when i see her wagging it. Whoops.. i'm having some sort of trouble typing since she's trying to get on my lap.. i'll (probably?) continue later.. tata~

Been a long time since i got sick.. with flu.. of all the freaking sicknesses. -.-" Can't speak properly due to sore throat, can't breathe properly coz my nose's sort of stuck all day long esp at nite, can't think clearly coz my brain's all groggy and heavy. What's worse is, speaking from experience, i know this running nose is gonna last me at least 1 to 2 wks.. gahz! I hate this man.. ~>.<~

Finally went to take my BTT(Basic Theory Test) today.. too bad their computerised test system went down.. we had to use the shading system and that means i can't know whether i pass or fail until they send me my result abt a wk later.. bleahz. Hope i pass.. *prays* =x


Anyway, was feeling kinda bored after my test so i called Xinni and Zhongda (my cousins) out for a movie. Went to watch "Without a Paddle".. kinda funny.. and a little gross at some parts.. but overall not bad.. probably 3 1/2 stars out of 5. After the movie we went shopping arnd at Heerens.. and today must be coincidence day. 1stly, we saw a ch8 actor (forgot his name =x) while taking the escalator at cineleisure.. he was with 3 other guys and we ogled at them for awhile before going off. =x Then, we ran into Val (another cousin of mine) and her bf at the traffic light in front of HMV.. (was quite glad coz i haven't seen her since her bday celebration this March) and later saw them again in Heerens (they were supposed to be heading for robinsons). Then, we saw the same ch8 actor and his frens again at Heerens =.= and we followed them abit to see which shop they went into lolz. =P Haha.. nope we're not stalkers.. just bored and happened to have some time to waste. =x


Rite.. after the shadowing- er, i mean window shopping, we went to "nextiwear" to shop for sunglasses. I think i spent like almost an hour in that shop before finally deciding on which to purchase. Yea, i know, i'm getting picky. Dinner was at Yoshinoya (again) where i ordered beef bowl (again) while we had the usual gossip and chat sessions (again). Reached home arnd 9pm and idled arnd talking to my mum til now. I really wonder how time flies.. it sure feels like it's only 15 mins since i last looked at the clock but already hours had passed. Dang.. time off i guess..

I'm getting lazy~ oh yea i'm getting lazy~ =P Haha.. actually not really lazy also.. been kinda too busy to update as well.. either i was working or otherwise, i'd be out with my frens or cousins or whoever i was out with.. so i'd be home late and tired from working or playing.


Anyway, i think i'm becoming some sort of a comic freak since i go to the comic shop at least once or twice a week ever since i moved to toa payoh. I just lovveee comics too much i guess.. and my dream is to have a comic shop of my own someday. Probably after i save enough money and experience more of other worlds and environments. (Which is to mean, it's my ideal job/pasttime when i'm reaching middle or retirement age. =x) Anyone out there care to sponsor me and help me fulfil my dream? =x
