Go ahead, rain on me

been put thru a tsunami of emotions lately.
tasted the sweetest and the most bitter of life, all in a day.
Expectations and disappointments come in a package, always.
Dont bother asking, and dont bother tellin me to be happy.

my head feels heavy
my stomach feels queasy
my heart feels weird
Please, just let me breathe


im drained.

一段从没开始的爱情
应该就是最浪漫的

Hello, lil' rascal boy

staring at us giving another chew to the darlin girl,
and we knew what's on his mind...
so he ran over and snatched the chew from the poor girl.
then he stoned for a couple of minutes, undecided, with the 2 chews in his mouth.
...
boys will always be boys eh?
try goin near the other chew, he will growl and bite off ur finger.

so not being very co-operative.
so not photogenic.


each time i fall, i wish u're here to pick me up.
each time things go wrong, i wish u're here to make them right.
each time i seek, i wish u're here to answer.
but each time i expect, u disappoint.
Why, does it always rain on me?

let's laugh our ass off

三种女人不可娶
1) 女编辑: 欢迎来搞, 长短不限
2) 幼儿园打扫阿姨: 小弟弟, 进来不要乱动
3) 女售票员: 进来点, 再进来.
里面空着呢! 后面还可以再上一个!



and last night at 杂货铺, i came across this promo poster.
In mandarin, it says:
照顾您生活的方方面面
and in english?
Looking after the square aspects of the noodles of your life.
Will somebody pls tell me what's the noodles of my
life?

Priceless

muffin's latest emo post(or so she says) got me thinking.
First it was bout my nick-of-the-day,
"Life's like takin a dump. U never know what shape its gona be today"
Sounds kinda stupid, but tink bout it, pretty true isnt it?
You cant choose how u want it to be, but u still have to do it anyway.
Then she mentioned bout appreciating the simple things in life,
which is also what im doin right now(or at least, trying to)
*** ***
While u're miles away lookin out at the sky at night,
i'm prob home staring at the ceiling, watching time pass.
~We never had to go thru such quiet moments alone, did we?
When u're walkin along the streets by urself,
im here walkin aimlessly in the supermarket by myself.
~Since when walking alone became our thing?
U're starting to love the feeling of morningafters and hangovers,
but i dont get too much of a chance for such kicks here.
~Rem how we(i) used to curse and swear the next morning
and promised we'd never do such silly things anymore? ha.
Ok 1 thing which im really sore bout, is the fresh sun-baked clothes!
I miss putting my clothes and sheets out in the sun,
and i totally miss throwin myself into my fresh-smelling sheets!
U are so right! People who dont have the habit of sun-ing their clothes
are missing out big time!
No wonder the people here...dont smell 'sun-ed' at all.


So yea, back to being appreciative,
i suppose it'll come a time we start to lean to be contented
with the simple things in life, and all those around us.
Life's too short to haggle over superficial issues.

Take time off, look around ourselves.
Cherish.

randoms

*kaching*
the incredible CASH RECYCLING system!
who wants this machine?!?!
*raises hand in enthusiasm*
=)


told ya u'll be mine!
=)

needa beautify my work space.
the flowers better not die out on me



ok, i know this print is utterly disgusting
and im not a sucker for this sorta
try-too-hard-to-look-hawaiian floral prints either.
its JUST a water seat cushion so pls spare me.
besides, this is the urm, prettiest(??) print i can find.
the rest are like, animals? and..trees..?and..some underwater stuff??
heck it, as long as it keeps my ass cool.
bwahaha.
Question: which part of ur body perspire/sweat the most?
lol

anyways, i went over to the IT mall earlier on coz
i wanted to get a new printer, and *ahem*, at the same time,
look out for my DS Lite. hehz.
came across this game shop and saw this awefully familliar
box that reads "DS Lite" =)
went over to take a closer look and it actually reads "iQue DS Lite"
wtf is iQue?!?!?!
and so i asked the girl.
"哦, iQue 就是说它不是假货!"
(note: she said it in a very convincing and 'smart' tone)
right... ... ...
so she's saying that iQue means its NOT fako ya?
...
obviously i dont trust her words very much so
here i am infront of my lappie, google'ling on "iQue DS Lite".
This is what i found...
Nintendo will launch the iQue DS Lite in China on 26th June with two colours - crystal white and enamel navy. The difference between a normal DS Lite and an iQue DS Lite is that the later can support Chinese version DS games, while others simply can't.
...
iQue DOES NOT mean its not fake.
iQue is designed for chinese people damnit!
being fake or not and being able to play chinese games are 2 diff issues!
Gawd.
pls grant me patience.
i needa learn to deal with stupid people.
fine~im sucha bitch.
i cant help it. i feel cheated ok!
and i feel insulted when they try to bullshit their way thru'
and think they can friggin con me into believing their shit.
although i admit im a gadget-slut-IT-idiot
but i DO NOT allow myself to be cheated this way.
...
in the midst of google'ling, i found this!


Mario with swarovski crystals!!!

so chio!!! so love!!!

goodness. im sucha bling whore.

its USD599.90(WTF?!) and i do not have so much moolah to burn.
Swarovski crystals in Arab St. does not cost that much loh!
Get a grip on urself Irene!!!
i am goin to HK to buy more diamantes!
...but... where's my DS???
*sheepish*

update: check out this website

Wednesdays nightmare begins

我的'恶梦星期三'又开始了!
EVERY Wednesdays=No electricity day.
and they had to do this to me when im down with fever and a
spinning headache.
Perfect timing.
Thank god i slept in this morning, so i
got thru from 2-5ish w/o air-con, not even the damn fan.
You're so not gona believe this but...
Wednesdays-no-electricity-day is like an SOP during summer!
apparently coz pple use too much air-con during this season,
which means too much electricity is consumed,
which then means they needa cut down.
STUPID OR WHAT?!
cutting down electricity this way?!
and to save (more)electricity(their way at least),
they dont even turn on the street lamps in the night!
(no, not just weds. u dont get them every other day ok)
even if they decide to be nice, u get 1 in every 10 lamps on.
so these pple will use their hi-beam and drive right into ur face.
if u dont hi-beam them back, they think u're an idiot.
dumbfucks.
Where is my BASIC theory book?!
i will either die of heat stroke, or get blinded by their stupidity one day.
...
Hate my fringe. Its SO WRONG to have bangs during hot weather like this.
it sticks onto my forehead when i sweat like a pig.
yuck!
and i know Mr & Mrs Pimples will stay on my face for good,
eventually their whole family will be here to visit.
great.
now i know whats the cause of my headache.
it MUST be the weather, and the people.
i am gona stock up on a dozen of battery-operated fans tonight.
Period.

p/s: on 2nd thoughts, maybe a portable solar-operated air-con works better.
who knows where to get it?

Certified.

Cruisin' over in big-love HK last Sunday.
our once-every-60day-outing. ha.
Oh well, thats the ONLY excitement i get in every 2mths!
...
anyways, i was officially an 'illegal immigrant' here in
Chingyland for 8 days -.-'''
all this while i thought i was holding a 90 day visa,
and when bro,who's holding a 60-day, kept askin if my stay's up,
all i thought was "i have 1 more month!"
so yea, being totally ignorant bout my overdue stay,
i tried to get across the customs and got stopped! -.-'''
First thought was: Im so fucked this time! and
God knows how much we've gota stuff into their pockets.
There goes, all my shopping money!! Bahhhh...!
plus ferry ticket wasted coz they kept me waiting there
and the ferry NEVER waits for people.
Thats the ONLY time they're punctual(when they shouldnt be!)
so after 20mins or so, Mr Officer came with my passport and
hell lotsa documents for me to sign.
tried my best to give him my bestest innocent puppy eyes look,
just so maybe he can spare me some money for shopping.
i know, im disgusting. haha
But guess what?!?!?!
IT WORKED!!!
he issued me a Warning Letter, and very nicely told me
not to do it again.
*megawatt smile*
honestly, i was in shock for 5sec when he told me i'll just get
a warning letter, coz all of bro's friends who overstayed got fined
up to RMB100 per day.
Hoooohaaaa.
Bless the custom officers.
on top of that, he got the ferry to wait for me!
*mega1000watt smile*
So see, there ARE nice people here right?
Now stop being so skeptical bout them k?
heh.
look who's talkin...

digress abit...
I FORGOT MY MAKE UP LOH!!!
i actually forgot my life-saving kit!!!
kaoz. curse and swear.
cant believe im sucha scatterbrain.
what can be worst than not havin any make up in HK huh?!
nothing nothing NOTHING!!!
Great.
2nd life saving kit- Sunnies.
Thank Goodness i had my oversized sunnies with me.
trust me, if i didnt even bring my shades,
i'd(might) just jump into the sea loh damnit!
yea yea, u all think(know) i dont dare right?!
*roll eyes*

Right now, i have
1) overloaded pimples on my face
(and i mean Overloaded. dont even try counting them)
2) bloated tummy threatening to blow up in my own face
(back in sg, some kind soul might give up his seat to me)
3) pongpong hair/fringe
very good. 要来全部一起来.
ComboHit.
That Is It!
i am stayin home till everything clears!
home-office-home!
once again, i'm the suayest shit ever.
Certified.




i bring colors to my own life.

*star gazing*
hold my hand,
walk with me,
right by my side.

the unseen truth

All these time i tell myself to be happy,
All these time i try to make myself happy,
All these time i think i can be happy,
All these time i tell myself i AM happy,
All these... are nothing but lies.
How can i be happy when i dont even remember
when was the last time i smiled fr my heart?
How can i be happy when i look at the person
in the mirror and hate what i see?
How can i be happy when there's no more sunshine, no more hope?
How can i be happy when my eyes and heart feels sore all the time?
How can i be happy when i no longer allow my heart to feel?
I no longer allow my heart to feel, because
each time i allow my heart to feel,
the percentage it being broken increases.
Makes sense doesnt it?

Im tired.
tiredofrunningaway.
tiredoflyingtomyself.
tiredofdisappointments.
tiredoflovinu.

givemestrength,willu?

For once

my el'cheapo sgd6bucks sunnies
one of the very few reasons why i, urm, like Chingyland

Muffin, my hot chicka'boo


been a long time since i last made a big decision for myself.
surprisingly, damn it feels good!
i know i've been told time and again by many people,
No Bangs.
my philosophy?- If u dont try, u wont know.
So there, here i am.
I know its not the perfect do for me but
at least i know, i tried.
Anyways, No big deal! Its just hair. Hair grows.
Cant u tell, im learning to take things easy?
Whatever. Fuck the world. Fuck everyone else
who dont love me coz of my hair.
Im sorry, u have NO idea how hurting it is.

Pretty or ugly. Im still Me.
Love me or not, its up to You.

Want or Need?

Love is such'n ironic thing.
You cant live without it,
but too much of it can be scary.
So much so that it may turn into Hate one day.
Ever wondered how life would be like without love?
Everyone needs to be loved.
Everyone yearns to be told "i love u".
Funny how 3 simple words work wonders at times.
Ask me bread or love.
i choose the latter.
i know, im sucha sucker for Love.
Being loved makes me happy,
being told 'i love u' by that someone makes me melt.
Cant live without it, not now at least.
Dont know bout the future though.
Reckon the day when i can get on with life without love,
without the need for someone to tell me those 3 words,
without wanting to love someone,
that day would mark the turning point in my life.
Will i be a happier person then?

For now,
to those i heart,
I.LOVE.YOU

stop me from draggin everyone out for some shopping.
=)

My only buy was a pair of rubber kitten heels.

*~*
The new chill out coffee place just opp my place.
Beautiful, cosy lil corner.

Everything in the shop is for sale!

Mutherfarker.

front part of the car got wrecked, tyre punctured.
u tink its drama-mama dont u? yea thats what i tink!
never thought something like this would happen to us!
that mutherfarker who did it, better be very very
careful when he's crossing the road, driving,
or even just walking anywhere.
call me a bloody bitch, but im gona curse him real bad.
u wana know how fuckin brainless and lowdown
china men can be?
..over a stupid parking lot?!?!
(brainless n lowdown is an understatement)
i'll tell u what happened.
we were waiting for a parking lot and when we finally got one,
this fucker drivin one of those huge van, wanted to
quickly swirve his van into the lot.
In the car sat me, bro, gf, maurice & kate's dad.
so my bro sounded his horn then kate's dad got off the car
and stood right inside the lot to show that its OURS.
we squeezed our way into the lot and obviously that fucker
has to just fuck off(and hopefully,Die).
Being the typical china man, he parked his car right in the
middle of the car park, next to the car infront of us.
Fine. he can park wherever he wants. I dont fuckin giv a damn.
then this other car left and my bro(being the Mr Nice guy, as always)
signalled him that there's an empty lot infront.
but he just stared at us with eyes threatening to kill.
i told my bro not to bother. like who's gona appreciate that huh?!
True enough. Not appreciative, never mind.
now our car is wrecked.
i mean, we're not 100% sure that he's the one who did it.
but 99% sure its him coz we've always parked
the car there and nothing's ever happened.
We're not even drivin a Porsche SUV or such,
its just a fuckin Honda for crying out loud!
which idiot in the right mind would wana spend time
puncturing a tyre and smashing a HONDA on a PH eve?!?!
URGH!
I AM SO FUCKIN PISSED OFF!!!
i rem that CB face, bro rem the 1st 2
alphabets and numbers of his car plate.
Bro's gona get pple to track him down tmr and
he'd be very very very sorry for this.
This whole thing is friggin unbelievable.
all these happened over just a couple of hours.
Its the long awaited 5.1(labour day) tmr and this had to happen.
SO much for planning a shopping trip and a good rest.
Boiling point. Too angry to sleep or do anything.
i just wana find that fucker and send him to hell.
