Penasaran

Urgh!

Fancy being pissed at the father for snatching the television while I was playing Wii. I am 30 for fuck sake...I think moving out is so imminent.

Fine, call me childish.
Wii is important, okay!

The weekend, though work has been untouched, has been productive - where pleasure is concerned, at least. Yesterday, I met Liah and Nani for some karaoke in town at 1100hrs (!!) and later at 1500hrs, Lauren joined us and we caught John Cusack in HOT TUB TIME MACHINE. Stupid show but hahaha...I am all stupid, man.

After a quick dinner, I left the group and joined some colleagues at some bar nearby. I just went to "show face" and meet Arowana's new gf. After 1.5hr of very idle chatting, I grabbed JLo and A-Go-Go and got the hell out. We walked to Borders and stayed there till 2330hrs before hitting home.

Today...ah today. It's an early start as I met Liah at 1100hrs and we headed to Kranji. She wanted to go to Ivy Singh-Lim's Bollywood Veggies (her freaking farm!) and after taking the Kranji Express shuttle service, we eventually got there at 1215hrs.

As we were hungry, we went straight to the restaurant, called Poison Ivy. According to Ivy, the food comes from halal-sources but cause they serve alcohol ("poison", she says), they dont have the halal certification.

Anyway, it was a nice feeling, eating in the greenery. We had sweet potato leaves (I love that like Popeye adores spinach), fried chicken drumlets, papaya salad (yum!) and an egg-and-tofu dish. we had fresh aloe vera juice too. After stuffing ourselves silly, we still attempted their signature 'kuih koswi', 'kuih bingka' and their banana cake. Well, we didnt know when we would be there again, right?

Right.
Next week probably hahaha.

So yeah it was about 1430hrs after we finished. Yes, it was a nice, long lunch. The shuttle service just left and the next one would only be there an hour later so we checked out Ivy's sprawling farm and took photos in the scorching sun before getting on the 1530hr-shuttle.

Oh! I bought a comb of 'Praying Hand' bananas for $5 there. I didnt name them. It's really what the farm calls them.

So yeah. That's the weekend for you. It's my second trip to Kranji in freaking 2 weeks, man. Last week, together with some old students (I should call them as my friends now), we went to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve last Saturday afternoon for some muddy hike adventure. That place, hampered only by geographical distance, was fan-tastic!

I love the outdoors...what to do?
:)


P/S: Am still pissed off at the father.

Miss Nothing

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah pissed off!!

Get outta my way

I am tired.

 

I didnt really enjoy the HK trip cause I was pre-occupied with work. I had nightmares of the boss when I was there even. I was sick when I flew over and I didnt get well when I came home. Oh well.

 

The brain has shut down when work-related thoughts and activities cropped up.and so I think it's time. Almost.

 

On a lighter note, INCEPTION and DESPICABLE ME were awesome!!

Mama say

I am back and my TMJ disorder is acting up on me again. Either that, I could be having some really aching wisdom tooth experience. I suspect the former. The dull ache in the mouth, jaw, ear, neck and head is really something.

Anyway, all these can be signs of stress. I realise how much I am beginning to dread going to office. It gives me sleepless nights, anger, anxiety and the rewards are no longer as satisfying.

It's enough.
I am tired.


P/S: World Cup finals tonight. Not an avid fan of Holland or Spain but I'm banking on Holland to win. This will be homage to ... ahem ... the Dutch bloodline in me. Darah kompeni mengalir di Betawi.

Got to run!

Boarding.

So long, bitches!

Bionic

Good morning, ya'll.

Had a rough day at work yesterday, no thanks to the Gulag. Apparently someone emailed Gulag saying I uploaded unprofessional pictures of the collegue. I was like...WTF? The person was crazy. The complainant also mentioned something about me plagiarising or using the pictures without permission.

WTF.

In the first place, those were my pictures, taken by me, of my colleagues, who were posing (nothing sexual or whatsoever, mind you) for me. The two pictures were of Ewok sitting on her chair. It may look like she was sleeping but she was just posing. Plus, even if she were sleeping, so what? There was no indication that it was in a specific work place. The other one was of her posing with a university signboard. Is that plagiarising? If that's the case, tourists uploading pictures of places of interest on their Facebook accounts should be charged too. What the fuck...these pictures are not meant for commercial purposes anyway.

So to this person...I know your name...fuck you. Apparently, your education failed to teach you what's plagiarism and most importantly, what's not your business should not be made into one. So please, eat shit and die.

Oh Gulag, fuck you too.

Woo-sah.

Got home, tired like crazy and fell asleep at about midnight. Wanted to take a nap before catching the Germs-Spain match. Overslept and only woke up during half time. Could barely stay up for the rest of the match but anyway, unbelievable. Germany, though they were okay, were not as capable as they were with Argentina and England. Maybe, the Spaniards really marked these people. Either that, the destroyer who was Mueller was not around to create more havoc. Whatever it is, Espana managed to move on and this Monday morning at an unearthly hour, they will meet the Dutch Ladies of the Netherlands in the final. Germs on the other hand, will meet Uruguay for third place. I hope Uruguay can slay those frankfurters. I'm never a fan.

Matthaus, Voeller, Beckenbauer aside of course.

Yaaaaawn.

OKay it's 0650hrs. Need to shower and hit the roads to the airport. I'll be here.


Yeah lah... Hong Kong again.
What to do, my boyfriend is there.
Right. Kid.
Actually, I'm there to study Wing Chun
Like Bruce Lee :)

Hope you have a nice day, weekend, whatever. Will be back on Sunday afternoon.


P/S: Gulag, I hope you get knock down while you're crossing the road.

Sleep of the just

Hey,

 

I am still alive.

 

Last week had been crazy - going hospital to and fro, marking assignments, meetings, World Cup, while trying to squeeze in some a little joy because all of us had a pay increment (no matter how little). Didnt get promoted this time round but it's okay. Next time. Plus, I think I didnt well enough.

 

Heck.

We're never good enough here.

 

The father is okay now though the doctors couldnt fathom what was the cause of his high fever. Maybe he had consumed something which didnt go down well on Saturday. What has been happening...hmmm...ah my dear Argentina are out of the World Cup. Bloody shit. Did you see the match? The Germans ...they were on crack, lah! That bloody Mueller wow..he's a freaking blitzkrieg there.

 

So now, there are only 4 - Espana, Germany, Holland and Uruguay. I am neither a fan of the Spanish nor the German team so of course my preference would like in either Holland or Uruguay. It's a pity that these 2 have to fight each other tonight. Sad to see either one of them not progressing but oh well, my head says that Germany will win this war. Ja ja ja. this might be their year. Simply wunderbar, Heidi Klum...Inglorious basterds.

 

Okay.The brain has gone way off.

I am actually not feeling well.

Think lack of sleep has finally sunk in.

 

This Thursday, I will be off to Hong Kong for a little rest. I hope I get rest. Sometimes I wonder what am I thinking? People dont go overseas to rest, they go overseas to get even more tired out. There hasnt been a vacation where I come home feeling like I have been physically rejuvenated. Mentally and spiritually yes, but never physically. Flight travels seem to do that to you, yeah? All those time you spent lazing in Perth, Siem Reap, Kashmir, New York and Manchester...gone just when you step into the plane for your journey home.

 

Where was I?

Ah, Hong Kong.

 

Yes, I plan to get me some rest but I dont think Lauren and Pam (her cousin) would just want to vegetate. For sure they might want to roam around and stuff. Let's see. If it needs to be, I have to do the 'break-away' thing. I just want to sleep. Please?

 

The new school term started yesterday and as expected, I have two Business classes to teach.The first session was yesterday in the afternoon...drained the bejeezus out of me. Stayed late, had late dinner, got home late, feeling the pits and for some strange reasons, I felt a really strong need to scrub my bathroom floor at midnight. Was at it for one hour and then I cleared my room, my bed and my wardrobe. By the time I was done, it was almost 0400hrs.

 

And 5 hours later, I was at work. Natural to say, I am currently extremely extremely slee..zzzzzzzz.
