| a dumping ground for her tots.. |
yesterday was gd.
workwise, it was short n sweet and furthermore, i have got a kaki to share cab home. at least someone who i can click well with. i was rushing for time after i reached home. first, i went nuh my mom. yup, dad was in hospital for a minor surgery. hmm, suddenly felt tt he aged alot and i realise i din care enuff for my family compare to how i treat my frens. somehow, i just dunno how to be real nice to my family members... maybe im too used to be the way i am now. time to change?? i was quite pissed with one auntie after my visit at nuh. was queueing up for the free shuttle at nuh, which was damn long and im afriad i might not get onto the small mini bus they provide. so i called bee to tell her abt my situation... and i guess the auntie infront of me could notice tt im rushing for time eh? bus came and pax boarded the bus. almost the whole bus was filled but there was still space to stand. she refused to go up and stood infront of me blocking my way and im like trapped cos they have this queue ctrl stands around. bus closed and left. -_-" wah lau, i shd have said "excuse me auntie!!" and force my way up the bus before it closes the door man. it was a long wait b4 the next one came. then the look on her face.. v qian bian. so in the end, i was late to meet bee and i was late for the movie. the walk from city hall to suntec's eng wah kills, esp esp when u r late. im paiseh to make bee late for her dance class too. sorry geR! the movie i watched was "take the lead".
it featured a true story abt a dance instructor who taught classical dance to a grp of students who are supposed to be on detention. yupz, it showed some social issues tt are faced in schs and the homes of these "problematic kids". it is indeed an inspirational movie for teachers. haha... tt aside, the lead, Antonio Bandereas, is so CHARMING!!! heh. im gonna strike lottery le, someone was exceptionally nice. ~me~ at 1:00 PM
i hope everyday will be as nice as today. :) ~me~ at 12:33 AM
"When the thought of going into work makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning, then know that the time has come to get another job. Alas, that's not likely something you can do this very minute. You can, however, be extra kind to yourself. Give yourself a present! Finding something you thoroughly enjoy would certainly perk up your spirits, and that does not cost a fortune." oh really? must get myself a present alr. :) i watched ice age 2 today. yupz, not with the person who promised to watch with me. no pt wait and wait eh? promises r made to be broken. ha, move on bah. ~me~ at 10:45 PM
issit bcos i dun have enuff sugar in my blood? i din eat much for the entire day and im damn hungry now. still waiting for ren to bring me out for my "dinner". i feel tt my life is kinda useless again. im not doing anything constructive and theres nothing for me to look forward to. i feel tt im a nobody too. when i was toking to B on the phone just now, i was tearing for no reason. wth?? mary! pls dun indulge in self pity... ~me~ at 11:34 PM
sometimes just feel tt im taken for granted cos im nice, cos everyone thinks i wun get angry or watsover. by laughing it off doesnt help loh. yh was right. gonna go for work later at 0440. darn... i dun feel like gg. ~me~ at 12:44 AM
last night i was with my batch ger and the guys after work. wah, the cab fare alone kills cos the amt i have to pay came up to 50 plus. changi-jurong-zouk-home. yah, we gotta pay for the fun, isnt it? last night highlight: dance on the podium. ha, this is my first time. super weird lah... the guys questioned me on something. hmm.. i din noe how to answer. 旁观者清? btw, i have decided to go on a short hol with jj to desaru. somewhere for a break which is different from any work destination, away from all the stress. ~me~ at 4:00 PM
trying to act cute. ha. alcohol can make one happier and forget abt all the worries, but its temporary. ~me~ at 11:17 PM
im back from osaka!!!! it was really a v v v gd trip except for the work. haha. i played, shopped like mad and at the same time work until i wanna die for the return kix-bkk-sin sector. we were blessed with a 4 days kix. for the first day, when we barely have enuff sleep, we went to namba and shinsaibashi to shop, shop and shop. crazy me went to taka supermkt with another colleague to get pumpkin, mushrooms, dad's coffee and all sorts of exquisite confectionery. yup, fruits were too expensive or else i will buy some back too! haha. while in 100 yen, i bot a pan and a few jap bowls. japan is well known for their beauty stuff, so it will be a waste if i dun stock up my supplies rite?? haha... plus a jacket and 4 tops. see how much rubbish i have bot?!! i simply couldnt resist the temptations. japanese food is another thing tt its hard to resist... *drools* on the second day we started our adventure to kyoto. 4 of us, never been to kyoto and dunno the exact way there have to figure our way ourselves via maps and instructions from the booklets they provide from the tourist counters... cant really trust the locals cos they cant understand u in the first place! ha.
the start of our journey to kyoto
reached there in abt 1.5hrs
lets take a closer look.. so pretty. its as if u went to heaven. :)
me and the cute rickshaw man. heh. we went to ginkakuji temple... supposed to be known as silver pavillion but doesnt look silver anymore. haha, its prob due to oxidation bah. wanna go to kinkakuji temple as well but we dun have enuff time to travel to the next destination.
at ginkakuji temple
roadside stall selling nice stuff! although we din managed to get to kinkakuji area, we went to gion instead.. which is much nearer. so wats so special at gion?? gion is a famous geisha district!! tts where we started hunting down geishas walking down the st. they are rather dao.. they dun stop to take pics nor entertain u so inorder to get their pics we really have to run after them! we really run after them k, maciam like paparazzi. ha. we hunted for an hr b4 we leave for yasaka shrine.
geisha walking from teahouse to teahouse for work.
i saw lights coming from the back of the shrine. being curious, i ask the rest to walk further inwards even though they cannot tahan the cold alr and guess wat else we saw?!?!
even more sakura trees!! pple were siting under the lit trees to have meals while some others were sitting on the ground even. this is maruyama park, which i planned to go and somehow got there accidentally. haha. after a long day of travel... its time to rest our foot and have dinner!!
kyoto is really a nice place for holiday and i guess i will go back one day cos i havent covered wat i wanna see! but japan is no cheap woh... :P ~me~ at 6:27 PM
ok this time round i bot more windows. ha. nothing catches my eye leh. tried on some dresses but they look so funny on me, end up i only got some earrings tt i wanna wear for stacey's wedding. besides the real physical shopping at bugis today, i went online to shop too. jj lah! showed mee webbie of some cosmetic brand tt is selling well in states... then i got keen and started searching for other US brands tt i like. eg victoria secrets, american eagle, anf... argh. just makes me more tempted to go shopping in NY soon. i hope i can still find this t shirt tt caught moi eye the other time.
im quite a sotong today... i actually forget to bring my hp out! i was quite worried initally cos i arranged to meet jj for dinner yet we din cfm the time n location to meet!! hmm.. so this is wat i went thru... 1. cracked my brain to think of her hp no. ? i cant rem. 2. call home and ask my mum to check? she doesnt noe how moi phone work. 3. go internet cafe to msg her? she is alr off her desk. 4. call someone who noes her? bingo. but who? 5. zh! i roughly rem his no cos i just called him via my house phone a few days ago. so i tried my luck and a familiar voice pick up the call! heng ah, he saved me this time round. haha. crazy me was v hyper for the past few nights.. it was only 4/5am b4 i fell asleep. i need to adjust my screwed up sleeping hrs. pray hard tt i can sleep. ~me~ at 1:44 AM
i just counted and realised tt i roughly have to attend 8 weddings, yes freaking EIGHT weddings for the yr 2006. omg, tt means there will be BIG holes in my pocket and in my mum's! my frens' weddings aside, my mum mentioned tt we cant bao small angpows for my cousins, they must be at least $500. kaoz... i cant possibly see my mum suffer from all all those red bombs alone rite? sometimes i really wonder... pple get married bcos of peer/family pressure, bcos their age is up and they have to start family soon or they really love each other and wanna spend their lives tgt?? i personally witness how my aunt tried to push my cousin to get married during cny when he tried to siam the topic, then i received news of him applying for house last mth, then suddenly today his mum came over my place telling my mum tt the wedding will be held in this dec, photo shooting, gown, tables booked, now discussing abt guest list. all of us were like WAH! first of all, he cfm tt it wasnt a shotgun case. secondly, he hasnt been thru rom yet and thirdly, he didnt mentioned anything abt wedding at all last mth when i met him. hmm, everything just happened too quickly. dont couples need at least 6mths to a yr to plan for a wedding? anyway i hope it was my cousin's and his wife's choice and they werent forced into it. out of curosity, i asked my mum, "will u push me into marriage?" she said no. i wonder if she will change her mind. haha.. :X speaking abt r/s, alot have commented tt i have too high expectations and i shd lower it and find a ok guy to be with. i dun think i am wrong in anyway to have my own expectations. i dun wish to settle for a guy whom i dun love lohz and end up in a divorce eventually. this is my life and i have the right to choose wat i wan rite? its late, i shd proceed with my beauty sleep. nitez. ~me~ at 2:41 AM
i had a funny dream last night and i can clearly rem who is in it. woke up with a tingling feeling still but afterall its only a dream. sometimes i really wonder how dreams come abt and who created the stories in them. was it me? or someone else? *****  we were at blu jaz for dinner  MOS when it was early din managed to get any shots for the next half of the night when i have more frens ard... just bcos my camera was out of batt. !#%$^&$*&#!# better get it well charged b4 i head for osaka and kyoto next week. :) best time to view cherry blossoms. woo.

it is something which cannot be bought nor be rewinded. something tt affects most of decisions in our lives, be it when did it happen and how long it took. often, chances are missed just bcos the timing wasnt right. u can only pray hard tt the chances will come again, however u might have alr wasted alot of time. so morale of the story is to grab hold of time carefully and do not waste any part of it. i seriously need to think abt where i am heading... no more putting it on hold. im alr 24. ~me~ at 12:49 PM
to lead an independent life is not easy I love Line 6. says: no one is truly independent lah... everyone needs friends . . . I love Line 6. says: sometimes ar i think u r juz bochup I love Line 6. says: then u complain princess mary says: bo chup abt wat? I love Line 6. says: i intro friends to u also u bochup hmm, its not tt i have no frens... its something i cant explain by words. ~me~ at 4:43 PM
when im out there, i always look forward in coming home. yup, all the look forward(s) to see my family and frens once again, to all familiar surroundings and things ard me, to be pampered, to be missed, to get back all the happenings of wat i have missed in sg... but slowly slowly, i realised i have been putting my expectations too high. actually friends doesnt seem to realise u are back and theres no big deal if u are back. pple just contact u cos they have asked u to buy something overseas for them. back home, im like an office ger cos i need to run some paper work for the family. they somehow r only keen in wat u have bot for them. maybe they dun mean tt way but tts how i feel at least. on the contrary, i have more company and fun when im out there with my colleagues. yup i believe its bcos of the expectations i have , tt causes my disappointment now. so wat? better dun expect anything. hmm. next time i better come back quietly and leave quietly. ha. anyway, met a few interesting pple on my last trip who made me tot of how pple behave. ha. the hokkien, rich bengs. those who dun have to study much yet knows how to have lotsa fun and at the same time crack their brains to get the money. they have seen quite alot in this society and been thru some hardships to get where they r now. they tend to tok alot of rubbish but they dun really mean it. they r rather stubborn in nature. the drama queens. some are nice, some are fakecos. for sure they want something - the attention. the tai tai wannabes. they r easily recognised by their volumised hair, classy dressing, their heels and not forgetting all their branded accessories. mostly imptly, they walk with tt ooooooze. woo. the godzilla under the rabbit's skin. sweet and harmless like a rabbit on the outside but dun step on her tail cos she can transform into godzilla and bite u! beware. the down to earths. those who are rather easy going and often they dun see the need to dress up unneccesarily. anything comfortable will be great. usually are they r the ones who u can HTHT with. the powerful mouths. these are ones who are so skilful with their words but they do nothing. the empty pockets. they love to be lv, gucci, prada, dior spokesman but sadly those companies arent gg to sponser them. these are ones who will splurge blindly on branded stuff from head to toe although they arent making alot. ha. only those items can make them feel gd abt themselves. i believe there lies some kind of insecurity within them, tts why. the fakecos. nice to u right in your face but evil within. the quiets. these are the toughest pple to deal with cos u dunno wats up their head. i wun say all r baddies but some can be. some are naturally introverts. some are quiet bcos u r not of their kind. some listen listen and stab stab u at ur back after tt.. yup they are known as the fakecos too. some act shy shy yet habour evil tots on u. some r just observing from the outside and dun wish to get involved. many many kinds woh. the tough part is to differentiate the gd quiets and the bad ones. oh.. leo just complained to me abt his kids in sch. haha. different occupations yet we have similiar probs with facing pple everyday. :) ~me~ at 8:36 PM
location: millennium biltmore, LA. just finished my dvd, memoirs of a geisha. quite an interesting show which made me realised who exactly a geisha is. initially i tot they were merely prostitutes but they arent exactly one lah... somehow in some way. btw, zhang ziyi is really pretty in there... not totally gorgeous but her oriental beauty kills. i have no idea how to spend the next day here in LA, cos this is my 4th time and i have covered most of the stuff. i wished i could be more adventurous and able to travel out of the city but when safety is a concern, i dun dare to do so alone. so all i did today was to visit the usual shops i usually do, pamper myself with body scrub and tons of moisturiser tt i just bot from VS *smells great!!* and hibernating in my rm. :) living in a different time zone sucks big time. i cant rem if the burger i ate just now was a late lunch or a late night supper... and i cant get to zzz now. hmm, am i able to wake up later for breakfast at 7am? haha. see how lah. maybe i shd go to bed and find the z monster. nites. happy memorising. ~me~ at 6:13 PM
