dementia praecox

I woke, groggily as the bus came to a stop. Some-where in my mind, it registers as a sign for me to finally go to the toilet. My companions and I slowly made our way down the bus, waiting for the passengers in front. There was no rush, after all, we were not in Singapore anymore.

I wonder why there's always such scurry back there, maybe the pace in Singapore is too hectic. I yearn for the calm, peaceful slow-down, the reason for my trip. I was getting a little too tired of work life and I kind of figured that I need a rest. And that is when I feel a nudge at my back. The man practically glared at me. I sighed, "So much for spacing out."

By now, my companions are already at the provision shop located conviniently near the food court's automated sliding door. I strolled in, even though my brain is reminding me of the bus driver's speech as we alight the bus. "Twenty minutes!" He said with a roll of his tongue. He sounded so very Indian even though he is Malay. Anyway, as I step into the shop, I could distinctly hear R complaining excitedly (believe me, only she could make it sound exciting) about the hygiene of the crackers packed in oily, transparent plastic bags. I start to shop around, looking at the 'little chicken biscuits' and 'egg floss biscuits' that my mother loves so much. I was still deciding if I should buy the biscuits and bring it back to Singapore or should I wait until the trip back home. Just then, my brother, N showed me my favorite 'coffee peanuts'. "That settles it!" I thought, "I'm gonna wait till the return trip..." I know myself very well, if I buy it now, by the time I get back, all will be nothing.

G, was asking around to see if we want to buy anything. Her father gave her a whole bag full of coins and she was hoping we could finish it there. Its really heavy. We bought drinks, actually a 1.5l big bottle of mineral water. And R, after happily nagging me about the different 'pocky' dips available in the shop, settles for a box of chocolate pocky. She also bought some sweets. Well, I should say G paid for all of us and the plastic bag containing the coins is now three quarter's its original weight. And the shop-keeper is smiling at us for giving him so much coins. I pity the next person paying up without exact change.

We board the bus as the bus driver roll his eyes at us. I know we are definately late when I saw all the other passengers already seated. We sit down, had some sweets and let the drone of the traffic lull us to sleep. And thats when I remember, I havent go to the toilet...

Had no access to the internet right now... And also too busy to blog earlier this morning... So saved messages in my hp and then typing it out now... Figure that I will sound more tame lolx... Btw, I forgot to bring my hp again this morning.... Luckily my Mum reminded me before I walked out of the door~ Think she almost threw my hp @ me~

Brought my camera to work and since I'm busy in the afternoon, I could only upload the pictures in the morning and @ lunch~ So do check out "Past Glories" for more details~

Guess what? Saw this couple taking wedding photo!!! It shouldnt have been making me so excited but... They were taking the shot @ Expo MRT station de plateform there lor~ So Major Coolness... Ed took a pix too... Wonder if he deleted it thou... Will try to get and post it ;) Anyway, brought the phone with me this time... Am on my way to Malaysia, sitting in a coach~ Yah, Iris and Mi in front of me, brother b-side me... Just passed the M'sia custom... You know, I really couldnt believe my ears when I stepped in and heard Crazy Frog Axel F playing... I was like, "Huh!?!" Ate packed dinner (fried rice) and well... lets just wait for the coach to reach Puduraya Bus Station...

Bought my camera charger and phone charger plus cable... But I forgot to bring my camera to charge and upload the pix... How forgetful can I be? And what could be worst than forgetting to bring my hp too?

The day is spent, basically brooding bout nothings in my life. Realised that the world is getting more and more boring or maybe its just me... Anyway, saw the tell-tale sign of a film cast this morning... Lighting crew, chairs, cameras, mediacorp van and all... Yes, and the only reason why I caught it was because I am getting sick and tired of sleeping on my feet. Thus I opened my eyes to look outside @ the gigantic warehouse we call Expo and *wah-la*, there it was, all the tiny specks of it...

Anyway, went to orchard after work. Meet Mi for dinner / collection of flight tickets for my cousin... Did I mention I hate getting stuck in the crowd? Well, now you know. Anyway, I was extremely feminine *grinds my teeth* and my back spasmed like every 10 seconds... (remember the toopid train driver who jerked twice @ novena??) But still no sign of Mi~ So I called and she told me... "Im still at home... -_-" (yes I could just see that face~) Erhm, so, on with the wait.... After 1/2 hr of people watching, i realised... sailors do have perky butts -_-"' (and Mi is still not there yet)

When Mi came, (dun wanna declare on more stuff I saw... 1 guilty as charged "crime" is enough) we had dinner @ this pasta place. Chat a lot... the food was good, atomsphere too... Its just the cheese Im afraid of...

Went to Charles and Keith... Nice shoes... lolx Mi bought another pair!?! Then back home lor~ So, yah... Thats abt it.

KNS guy pissed me off... He did not alight at braddell and yet he took the seat closer to the door over there. Not only that, since I lost that seat... I had to take the seat in front of him... which is too bloody close to that stupid intercom. I couldn't not cover my ears everytime the intercom goes "Door closing. Di Di Di Di Di" Yes, every five Di's.... Subjecting to not only mental torture, also spoiling my nap time (especially since I had a quite stressed day)... causing a huge quarrel with an innocent little cat...

Most of my free time are now spent in 2 places:
1) My bed(my personal place of escape)
2) Trains

Noticed that I saw/heard quite a few interesting stuff on trains... (remember the kissing ladies and the bitches? If not, how bout meeting friends and colleagues?) I mean, since then I've gone, 'Ooo... I gotta blog this...' when I see things happen on train... Here's more encounters:

1) Hmm... Duno how to describe this... :blush: Saw a guy rubbing his... at the linkage section btw door 17 and door 18 raffles place down. His left hand was actually in his pockets and his hands were like *rub* *rub*~ How do I know he's not just scratching his balls? There's a wet spot.

2) Ytd... Ed was going to Toa Payoh for his gathering... Anyway, we were on this train to cityhall.... Think there are some comments bout my attitude towards life bah... Like my opinions on how the people using the train should be more considerate, and how that particular train driver of that particular train we were riding on yesterday will most probably be a newbie as quite a lot of people bumped into each other as the train jerked to a stop (twice) when nearing Newton. I almost knock Ed unconscious... (I guess >_< )

3) I was almost smirking~... Saw this lady this morning as I waited for the train... I was like OMG! She looks exactly like the female version of Rong Xiang!!! She was even wearing (his!) customary white shirt and her hair down... curly... >_< OMG... its female Rong Xiang~

4) Saw Jong Yao on train... lolx But he doesnt seem to recognise me~ -_- We alight @ the same stop but he boarded the CHP bus... My guess is he is working somewhere ard here like me!

Okie... gotta go do critical updates as they are coming in... Wish me more luck in finding my juicy bits to sustain my day ;)

Okay, I admit I'm stupid. Why did I rush over to Place 2 when I know that its going to reach 10:30am, which is the time for the rumoured fire drill practice? Work obligations maybe... In the end, while everyone who got to the Expo (gathering area) with wallets in hand... I have a few sheets of paper with me... And:
1) Never bring hp with me
2) nor my wallet

But kind Edwin 'rescued' my breakfast lolx...

Random: I forgot to bring my handphone to work -_- wth~

Went to Uncle Jeff's surprise chalet... Cousins planned so darn hard... It was interesting how they kept it from him. Anyway, I work ard the area so Jacky and Josh send me over... Mum and Dad came over late and guess what, they're caught in the HUGE downpour!!! Gosh they look like they juz when swimming in the near by sea... It was fun bbq-ing and chatting and playing and staying up late.... But I guess I suffered for the next day... Was so darn sleepy... Oh well...

Heard 2 ladies bitching bout the 'gahmen' and 'campanis' it was pretty entertaining for my morning ride... Cousin Jasper called to ask for my help regarding some flight thingy... I was like:
1) Huh? You called from M'sia... To my mobile!?! o_O
2) Erhm.... I am working wor~
3) Wei Sheng! Ni Chu Mai Wo!!!
4) Sianz... Okie lah whatever~

On a happy note, its quite free so Im using my time to update blog, play runescape and neopets... Oh and checking on stuff so we can go into KL this time (praying for a smooth trip... in fact, praying that nothing happens before the trip...)

Okie ciaoz~

Recently, I've come to think that this September ain't any good either. (Same as last year) The reason will most probably be about the Malaysia trip...

Anyway, a recollection of the events from past two days is stated below:

17/09/05
YC's Birthday~
Happy Birthday! Wow~ Seriously, there's damn a lot of September babies >_<>_<) Some 'alert' passengers also notice it and were staring... in conclusion, I realised I've been a coward~

Anyway, guess its time to come to an end coz I'm really getting sleepy... Its only 09:45 and a Monday morning... Guess I watched too much Vampire 3...

Got off the hook cause Ed's back~ He MC-ed for 2 days and now he's back... Almost died without him here... >_< I think I really need my sleep.... I had been making mistakes for like 4 to 5 times in a row, so much so that everyone wanna stop me from controlling my coffee intake. (Darn, I messed up~) I think I've cost quite a bit of commotion, not to mention loss to the company... I'm so sorry!!!! (Heard that things got shipped to the wrong warehouse and stuff... my fault -_-) I hope I dont make anymore mistakes. Meet up with Cin yesterday to pass her time-sheets and Ed was like, "Last two days wanna go home cannot go, today can go home you go out Gui Hun..." Dang! Where got go '鬼混'!?! =P Almost bit Cin cos she say I look very Gu Niang~ [By the way, she's not any better. Woke up late and rushed to work in very Lok Kok attire~ lolx] Anyway, met Cin and had milk tea (again at MOS) then Iris called. We meet up and the three of up sat @ Starbucks (where else could we go with Cin? =P) to crap... Had a fun time A-bashing.... Will get dragged to some place with Ris and Mi dis Sat... OMG~ Gotta spent lots of $$ again... I offically announced that my bank book's little numbers had fallen into my negative target and delared that I am broke....

"Hectic" day. Lolx. Went to Orchard there de Adecco coz Mi was called down for an interview~ Poor thing, the troubles of a PR... Neway, we met real early and -_- we went to check out the movies coz Mi and Di wanna watch movies on Sat... Not satisfied with the timing given by cine, we went down to Galilee to have "Go Bananas" (a bit too sweet), "Pineapple Cooler" (Nice drink, cool mug~) and a "Crink-cut Fries"(OMG O_o so big portion...) It was an enjoyable meal of course~ After the boring interview, we went down to PS to catch Red Eye. Overall a cool movie, pretty well planned. I love the part (the very last part) where the female lead told her hotel's patrons to **** off! lolx Wouldnt be trying that soon~

Title: New Faces, New Job, Old Relations

Went to the company today for my 1st day of work.(like finally) I was pretty nervous as I had a bad 1st day experience right before this job. Jittery and jumpy~ However, the people there proved my worries unfounded. They are really great =D Gotta know new people, and I got a feeling this will not be as stressful as my past employment...

We sat and talked till about 11:45pm. Everyone's gotta work the next day so yah~ Thats it, EOTD... ... ...

Title: Negative Reputation

Okie, you guys know that I dont really wear female wear right~ I did today and guess what, I killed myself. (I'm being dramatic.) Met Ris for dinner tonight and she decided to go Phin's coz her friend is working @ Cine (one of those insurance thingy) and she need to pass him some things. Anyway, after dinner, I bumped into ( I really mean bump into *bumpz*) Mervix and Trev (think so lah, I was busy escaping... */swt*)
*Cries* Met with Ris' friend after that and after chatting, we went shopping coz I wanna buy some clothes suitable for office (I dont have lah~ all guys clothes in my wardrobe -_-) and we ended up eating (again!?! Coz, Ris want, cheesy saugage, Long Xu Tang, Baked Potato with Cheese and many more~) I refused to subject my stomach to cheesy torture~ I skipped~
Anyway, I saw an old buddy from secondary school and then realise that he's also a primary school mate of Ris~ Singapore is so small~ Had a chat but... forget to get his number~ (No no, not bo xim juz forgot~ I swear! :blush:)
Went bossini after that but no suitable ones (sad) and was about to go FOX when we realised it was closed! Sharkz! I gotta get PC a present... -_-
In the end, after I went back, I sat at the com till 11:59 (did something special for my two birthday babies *lolx* and I cant get to meet PC anyway coz she's 'booked') and send it to them wishing them a Happy 20th Birthday~ Happy B'dae~ PC and PY...

Title: BIG Expenditure

Met Cin after I woke up @ 11am~ Me no work mah. Went to Commex... ... It was crazy. We squeezed in and squeezed out in 2 hours... Serious and we are not moving on our own~ Met Leslie there, *arch eyebrows* didnt believe my eyes coz he doesnt seem to be the type to take part time jobs, summore at Commex.
Finally got her stack of CD-R this Cindy~ Was like, "20~" "huh!?! $20? Good deal! Cin can buy! I wan also~" Then realise it was selling at $28. It was cheap but not *that* cheap either so, yah... Feeling a bit stupid now. The exhausted us, after being pushed out, took a cab to PS, actually wanna go Starbucks again but its full so we jumped to a more tame outlet. MOS was okay I guess, we had nuggets, milk tea, corn soup and apple pie. It was a shopping spree after that... Bought a top @ Gio and also those minatures @ an expensive $49.50 for 5 bottles. Cin use perfume pay $$ hor =X *lolx, no lah nvm de~ But me WAN bottles!*
Went home to have a light dinner and when Dad went over to Uncle's Joe and I 'chiong' down to pak pool @ Park Lane Mall then had roti prata and dou hua shui~ Got back in time~ Lucky 0_0v

Sin Lan and I shared the cake coz I cant take cheese =x We were actually joking coz Boss say if you eat you must work here for 3 months hor and I was like 1 portion for 1 month wor... i can only eat 2 portion so I work for 2 months? Lolx~ Really enjoyed it coz we hadnt have much for lunch~ After cake, we are so free, explored freindster together and showed some pictures. It felt like last minute bonding xia...

11/09/05
Title: I wanna complain!

Seriously, I'm getting a little pissed off with the servicing attitude of a particular seafood restaurant in Pasir Ris area~ I mean, we do this every year, at least once, cause if its anyone's birthday in our family we will go to eat chilli crab (most prob ard that area.) So much so that its already a tradition. However, the place we regularly patron was under reconstruction and will only be starting its business again on the 12th September 2005, so we went to the other place we 'regularly' patron (nah, not really. However, we do regularly patron its other branch located at *bleap* and we really like it there cause the manager with the funny cartoonish marine life tie is so entertaining and a really good host.) and happened to had the worst day of my September~

They gave me a windy spot (you know how much I hate messing up my hair~) and my chair is almost sticking into the other patron's table (btw, its occupied by a Korean-Jap couple with a very kawaii kid~) not only that, that area is full of kids going to the washroom and its like my way is the only way they can pass thru( like real. *roll eyes* I mean how can they pass by when my chair is ****ing stuck to that table!?!) Naughty little things actually dirtied the back of my chair and you guess it~ My shirt also dio~ *Sianz* They change our plates at wierd timings and take away dishes before we even finish.

Worst case: The Ang Moh sitting in front of us almost got his whole plate of chilli crab kept away. Aunties working there were like shouting at the cleaner and go, "He jud go toi-let! Toi-let on-iiii!" But too late lor, cause the cleaner auntie already stacko his plates together le. Then she panicked cos the guy is coming back... I was like "what the f***" cause you know what she did? She put the plates she stacko-ed on the chilli crab back on the table and then put the chilli crab there as if nothing's happened! I was like *fainted*

The guy who ordered for us, (we saw him like four to five times since August cause of the reconstruction so he should know we quite regular mah~) acted as if we were like really poor( really I mean what up with "Why don't you have this as a replacement, its cheaper [even though that dish is still available cause I saw it being served to the other table when we were having our chilli crab] and everything also "Zuo Xiao De" [translation: make small one] !?! I had it then and there!) and keep offering us to change to simpler dishes. Also he kinda get us the wrong dish when we ordered the 'Yu Ni Dai Zi' and insisted that he is right. (Nope I didnt argue with him. I was busy on the phone talking to Cin) The chilli crabs had missing parts (claw and the fingers thingy) and he forgot the 'Qian Zi' I mean how can you forget the Qian Zi!?! Use teeth arh? You try use your teeth against Sri Lanka Male Crab lah! Fu!

Then in the end, we ordered dessert (we thought it was still early so we ordered the Oh-ni coz usually if too late they will say sold out le. Else we usually order like twice the family size of other desserts...) and he told us it was on the house. (Think happy right? Got 10 person share of Oh-ni to eat....) Guess what? On the house = small portion. It doesn't even fill up half of my bowl and it was this small shark fin bowl... -_- What the, and there was only 5 bowls!?! My brother was like, "Jiez, there's still cake in the fridge right? Still got maggie mee at home right?" While my brother is busy making that comment, I was busy glaring at the service crew who *accidentially* drop half of a scoop of the Oh-ni onto the table. (I mean since I'm staring she got so freaked that she doesnt even bother to apologise or even scoop that Oh-ni up and put it into the empty bowl like what she did to the Ang Moh and just booted.) [Btw, the bowl was so damn big. Dunno for what also....]

In conclusion, they spoilt my after birthday Birthday Feast.... I hate them *boo hoo* (nah I just felt like killing them~ lolx) I swear I'm not going to that branch to eat again... As in ever~

Went NTUC after that to buy stuff to bring to work to eat (lolx so many 'to') and well that concludes the day... Chatting with Cin on da phone now... Ears hurting~ lolx waiting for 'Wo He Jiang Shi You Ge Yue Hui 3' to start~ Ja'
