This is me,Patricia
Welcome to my blog
Be nice & I'll be nicer
I bite bitches
Have a glorious day

[ 7:19 AM ]

Slept at 8pm yesterday after being out the

whole afternoon..

was absent mindedly doing some shopping before coming back..

I had planned to get some tops,bags,belts but somehow only ended buying tops..

The weight loss is good..but it doesn't do any justice to my current staples of black fitting skirts,and fitting tops coz now I look deflated and shabby in them..

OMG!

ITS THE LAST FREAKING DAY OF BLOODY APRIL!!

FINALLY!!

Met Suren after a long,long time..

back from his world tour haha..

Had a fun time yakking away & as usual he couldn't keep up with my nonsense!

Too bad dude!!

Hahaha

Well, woke up at 4am today..

didnt wake up for dinner so was ravenous this morning..

Came in here to check my mails & update some stuff..

Then watched some TV..

Before I go on..

I'm just gonna throw myself into some personal project that I'm working on &

maybe head down to the library..maybe meet up with Suren for some lunch or tea..

In the meantine..

please please please try to understand if im not available always..

My handphone is really screwed up..

I have been getting alot of harsh words from relatives & friends

about being uncontactable..

Look,if you can't get me on the hp,

maybe you'd wanna try me at home?

Just check if I'm alive or dead maybe?

That day my aunt griped to another aunt

about how she tried to call me several times and

she had to keep hearing the music..

She also said..now that I'm job hunting..

and any prospective employer were to call me,

I'm either unreachable or they have to hear the displeasing(according to her)song

How to get job like that?

I was like..is this a very big issue?

Most people have bye-bye ringtones now..

and it's music not noise..

ARRRGH!

I won't change it just because YOU don't like it!

Ok enough about that..
So guess who's flying into town today eh?

Oh yeahhhh its long anticipated Ironman!!
Or as my dear friend mary calls it.."Irumbu Manithan"
hahahaha!!!
It's opening today..Koko was checking out if we were all free to meet up with her & John for the movie today but I already had a prior appointment & Sanjit also would be busy with work..so had to say no..dunno about Mary though..I know John would be dying to watch the movie haha he could barely wait for the release..Oh well..hope they have fun..hmm except maybe for Koko..who can't stand this superhero flicks..hahaha..yeah she's a real laaaydeeeee..

Ok I dunno about you guys...but this song has been stuck in my head for ages..its a surprisingly good song..from Colby O Donis(who's that rite?) and it features Akon..I love Akon's signature sound..it's just so cool..here..do check it out..I'm sure you'll like it ..

Niceeeeeee???Not bad right..doncha feel like groovin already??

[ 4:47 AM ]

Yes yes yes

Its been a bloody long time

I have been trying to avoid coming in here

My luck continues to be bad..

What the hell is with April anyways?

Everytime I console myself that things couldn't get any worse,

wham!bam!

shit happens rite?

I know I know..but how much can a person endure in a freaking month..

week in week out??

See,this was why I didn't wanna come in here..

I have nothing but bad news,worse news..and rotten news

The latest has to be the worst ever and mind you..

Though I grumble in here..I can't even begin to explain to you guys

how miserable I feel.

I don't wanna go into details..

Let's just say there is this special person

Someone who came into your life,and made that difference

The person is so close to you,you practically know his habits & mannerisms

Along the way,there are squabbles..fights..cold wars even.

Somehow these negativities do not linger on for long..and before long life is always merry again.

Then comes..this f**king April..

Which seems to have brought out the worst in not only me,but

many around me..

When there is again a little squabble with this special friend..

This time though..the squabble grows out of proportion

Heated words are exchanged..each trying to provoke the other

You know what they say abt heated words uttered in haste and all that?

Yeah I felt bad later and I did try to apologize..

Yes even though I had recieved harsh words too,I felt that it was my fault to have started it in the first place when I should have just kept my itchy mouth shut!

The apology wasn't accepted and that made me annoyed.

The misunderstanding continued...

Through the days I kept waiting for that familiar sense of relief when one has when problems are settled..but all I had in me were very,very bad gut feelings.

I tried..after a while..to swallow my pride and go on and talk as if nothing had happened.

It disturbed me though..that the issue had never been settled..

Sometimes..when my confusion got the worst of me..I'd try to ask him

Each and every time I'd be met with a cold reception.

There were many nights this month that I went to bed tired & upset..

but this problem was like my worst nightmare..

I felt that my closeness with this person was crumbling beneath my shaky hands..

As usual..my mind..already filled with so much from other issues..was not at rest

There were times when I thought I would go crazy from thinking & thinking and not having anyone to confide my fears to..

Then the final straw came when I had an argument at home over some trivial issue..it triggered off all the stress,and anger & confusion that I had already been surpressing under a smile for so long..I broke down and cried and cried.It seemed that I would never be able to stop.

That night I typed out one of the longest messages ever to my friend..

asking him to please,please put a closure to this.

I was upset and made myself totally cold & numb the next day..

The only normal thing I did was to go to church..

Besides that I was out..

When I finally did see the reply to my message..

Honestly..I think my heart literally shattered.

It's like..it shattered and the pieces were made of some nasty sharp stuff which just pierced right thru my entire soul.

As I read the message the waterworks started again.

I was so so so so so upset..

I had in fact,asked for a closure ON THE ISSUE WE FOUGHT ABOUT.

However,my friend..had put a closure on US.

In all anger & sadness..I wrote a reply several times..only to erase it all and start over again..

I had to maintain my pride..how much could I give in ?

I don't even wanna continue talking abt this now..

Yesterday..my friend..who had been so kind and caring to me since day 1..

no matter how much I annoyed him..scolded me as if I was a criminal..

I never got any replies to the questions I asked..

Just the same old phrases again and again..

Anyway this is what I'm going thru right now..

I can't forget this thing..so easily..

I am a person who keeps buddies close to my heart..

and for someone who was more than a buddy to me..

I really respected & cherished him alot.

Yet..now in his eyes I'm seen as some blemish.

It hurts me deeply.

What can I do?

The only thing that's holding me back from seeing him face to face is my pride.

I have had enough of crying but I know that with this person..

out of my life..the dark times have only just begun.

I'm sorry if I have yet to reply to emails,messages,smses,calls.

Glash..i guess after reading this you know what im going thru..im sorry gal..

over the weekend I wasn't myself..i did not even realise so many ppl were calling me..anyways i didn't wanna talk abt my sad stuff and make you bored gal..so well..at least here u have a choice whether u wanna read or not...hahah

Twinny..I been so upset that I did not even blog about the wonderful time we had at your crib last Friday!It was fun meeting with the whole family..too bad the time flew by so fast!!!

Well at least now I know what to get for you guys next time..

PASTRIES,COOKIES,CHOCS!!

too bad im on my stupid diet.

Twinny thanks for being there,though you have so much of stress..you never fail to lend a listening ear..thank you..

Its almost 5am..I'm back to my old bad habits again..I just can't seem to focus my mind is so sapped of energy..all I want is to be like before..I'm so f**king miserable ya'll!!!

[ 6:06 PM ]

So here I was just randomly surfing the net after 2 awesomely irritating interviews in afternoon..and my dear pal sanjit comes online and sends me this link..asking me to watch the video..I opened it & gasp!!
Ghost sighting in Raffles Place?
Here..watch..

Well whaddya think?
At first I was like..OMG..
then I was like...
huh?
then I was like..bloody hell..fake la!
Hahaha well I dunno but for those of you who wanna
see what others have to comment.. and wanna contribute..
here's the link
http://www.rafflesplaceghost.net/blog/

Talking about paranormal stuff,
it was just last night that I was telling Twinny
I felt like watching some horror stuff & we should check out
YouTube like what we used to do before..
Eventually we forgot about it but now thanks to Sanjit,
I've got my nose buried in YouTube trying to source out
anything to make me shiver in fright..
Talking of which..here's another clip that Sanjit sent me..
I dunno about you guys,but the one near the end of the clip..
about the car accident..
NOW that creeped me out!!
Watch kiddos watch!!!

[ 9:32 PM ]

Stress Stress Stress

Not work stress but FINDING proper work stress

Stressed at home too with mum still very weak & me tending to her

I wish there was more I could do to help her but..

Oh well..

Hardly had much time to come online save for late nights..

Even then my poor mum would be restless & awake

I'm just relaxing,trying to be more positive & just take it easy

So much to do,so little time

Everytime I wanna get started on something,a major obstacle stands in my way

I just wish this dark period would be over & done with soon!

I hate rotting in the dark here!!

Dear Twinny has also been very sick & mood out lately..

I'm planning to meet her this week..

*stares daggers at Twinny*

Better come out & play with me ok!!!

Arghhhh

Need

CHILL

!!!

Talking about relaxing..

I wonder if you guys came across the recent news report of a

tortoise that smokes?

It's freaking true ok!!

According to the report,this tortoise,from Beijing,China

is even addicted to nictotine!

All thanks to it's wondeful owner,who proudly said that he once teasingly

placed a lit cigarette butt into it's mouth & it surprisingly finished smoking it.

Tsk tsk.

Now both owner & pet share their smokes..

What will they think of next!!!

[ 7:09 PM ]

[ 2:25 AM ]

Had a fun or should I say funny evening today..

Headed down to Orchard to meet SanjitJohn,Koko & Mary..

Sanjit had never met John & Koko before so we girls thought it was high time we got togther.

Met up with John & Koko @ Billy Bombers first..Sanjit came soon after and our dear Ms Mary was the last to arrive..and after declaring that she wanted to eat pasta..we moved on ahead to check out the movies @ Cineleisure..too bad..either the earliest shows were already sold out or the next time slots..slightly before midnight were almost sold out..so while watching Sanjit & Mary attack their food with gusto @ the very cramped Pastamania..we decided to head down to Yishun..to catch a movie...haha..We caught Forbidden Kingdom!It was super awesome..in fact I have no complaints about the movie @ all! The combo of Jackie Chan & Jet Li was just fantastic..we were treated to alot of wisecracks from the two incredible actors,as well as some superb martial arts!

The movie ended around 1.20am..and we stood around & discussed the movie & the next upcoming movie..IRON MAN!!!yeaaaaaahhh!!!

I must admit at first I wasn't too much into the Iron Man hype..even after Sanjit had shown me the trailer online...then why the sudden enthusiasm?

Firstly..the Iron Man soundtrack by Black Sabbath!!!Hell yeahhhh its sooo awesome!!

Secondly..Robert Downey Jr in the lead role!!I freaking love the guy..and its such an unexpected choice!!

Needless to say once John,Sanjit & I started discussing the Black Sabbath song..Koko & Mary were looking at each other & said.."Here they go again..."

Hahahaa..sorrrrry gals..this time the guys are right!!

I've also been curious about Street Kings coz Sanjit was telling me about the movie..see how..perhaps I could catch it soon..

*looks @ Jijay*

I know maaaan..i have yet to watch Sin City..arrrghhhh!!!

[ 6:04 AM ]

Feeling so blue ..

Nothing much to say to anyone

Its simple for people to keep saying cheer up and move on

Then just keep talking about other stuff as if I could forget my problems by listening

Look,I know I may have been out of reach or silent recently..

Its not that I'm trying to be rude or anything..

I just feel miserable alright?

There are lots of things/people

precious to me that I have been losing

One by one.

As each incident happens I tell myself that i will be fine..

How was I to know that it would all fall apart at the same time?

I feel like all my happiness has come crushing down..

Put yourselves in my shoes for a moment & try to understand ok?

It doesn't make me grow stronger..no not yet..maybe one day it will..for now

I'm still in the very raw process of cleaning my wounds.

Till then if anyone here feels that I'm being too emo,or cold,or boring..

Please..just take a step back & continue with your own lives..

I don't want the advice or the tsk tsking..

Or the fake sympathy

I rather much be left alone

I won't be hurt..

I will just bear this in mind

Remember..

what goes around comes around

Adious

[ 9:51 PM ]

Haizzz let me seee..

the week has been absolutely horrible so far..

and thats kinda bad since its only Wednesday

Mum has been kinda ill..

yeah for those of you who followed my previous blog..

the same bouts of retching & vomitting

To make things worse she's super stubborn

Was at my mum's side massaging her back &

trying to cajole her to see a doctor

Sigh..to no avail

Now I know where I got my stubborn streak from!

Haiiizzz..update laterz

[ 11:56 AM ]

Its been some time hasn't it..

seem to be writing alot less these days

that day a new pal commented that he had been reading my previous blog entries

as in my former bloggie in Friendster & he was seriously like..what's wrong with u pat?!!

LoL

I was like whaaaaat?

what did i do now?

hahaha apparently the poor guy found my posts

disturbing & dark

He thought I seriously needed ''help''

hahaha..ok it was hilarious during the conversation but later..

I just went back to visit my old blog after so long

just take a glimpse..and to my horror..

I realised that he was right.

As I clicked on each post,I realised that I used to write without holding back..

to me,it felt very raw and dark..

coz reading the words I used to write

brought back the exact memories & scenarios to me

yet I must say that I was more outspoken..and my writing was smooth and focused..why?

Coz I was telling the truth &

I was not making any attempt to mask the stuff that happened!

and I used to write so much poetry to express myself

unlike these days where I'd rather just shut up &

not let my emotions show too much..

Why?

Just because some people were getting a bit uneasy about the stuff

I wrote about MY life..

I was silly..

I should have never caved in to their incessant nagging

..after all..

why should MY life concern them?

It wasn't as if they were carrying my burdens right?

As I kept scrolling through the pages of my old blog,

I felt a twinge of regret..I dunno why..perhaps I felt that I should have not discontinued my vein of writing?

In all honesty I opened up a new blog to start afresh..but when I compare the 2 blogsites..

this current one seems so cheesy & PLASTIC..

as opposed to my let loose style in the other one.

What what what do I want now?

Do I wanna embrace the problems,MY problems & say it as it is?

or do I wanna just cover it all up & pretend to make merry in here?

Hahahaha..sometimes I think too much.

Who the hell would dedicate an entire blog entry to this topic?

You're looking at the biggest doofus ever.

ME.

[ 6:48 PM ]

Hola!!

It's a beautifully dark,stormy day

I just got back from meeting Koko darling @ Causeway Point

She was too tired to come down to Yishun after work so..

Being the NICE girl that I am..ahem ahem

I went over to Woodlands..

Got wet in the rain which was kinda fun actuli coz it was raining slowly & gently

Sooooo shiok..

with Timbaland blasting in my ears & the wind sweeping my now longer hair..

I totally didn't wanna get inside the shelter so soon..

but well I was already late as usual so had to walk fast..

followed Koko to get tickets for ''Shutter'' for the late night show with her hubby..

then had a drink while the poor famished girl ate her late lunch..

and we yakked away non stop..

I totally hate the LJS @ Causeway..

so small and cramped and yet all these people just push their way in

with prams & what nots...

HIGHLY IRRITATING!!!

I still think the one at MY beloved Yishun is the best!!!

Took a long bus ride home after seeing Koko off..

Blasted more music & smsed Sanjit on the ride home

Oh yeahhh met up with Sanjit yesterday to catch ''The Orphanage"

I had been pestering him forever about it

and the dear finally made time to bring me

As usual I overslept yesterday..

I was supposed to leave home at 1pm in order to meet him by 1.30pm but

I woke up at 12.35pm!!

By the time I took my shower & dried my hair & left my home

it was almost 1.50pm!!!

Thankfully he was only about to take the bus at that time..

I made it to Dhoby Gaut at 2.26pm..

the movie was to start at 2.30pm!

hehehee..burst out laughing when I saw Sanjit..

yeah what to do...he knows by now that I can never be on time..

By the time we got the tickets & settled down,

the movie had already started..

The movie had a very interesting concept .

.and I should say its not bad at all..

yet we couldn't help but feel there was something missing at the end of it..

For Sanjit,some of the pieces didn't fit together at all..

Well after that we headed to Swensens at PS for lunch/tea

He had some salmon thingy & I ordered the StickyChewyChoc

which I totally did not finish in the end..

and had Sanjit tsk tsking away

Then we walked down Orchard Rd talking totally random stuff

Checked out loads of stuff @ Taka

then since it was kinda late,

we decided to call it a day

Hahahahaha..

bullied poor Sanjit alot yesterday

yet he just laughed helplessly

awwwww

This is why he's such a cookie..

*smiles*

Went home & listened to mum's nagging for a bit

Then Glash called me..

Had a little chit chat with her..

then listened to some songs,

updated my Facebook

and then decided to have an early night

I was sooo tired even though I didn't do much..

Must have been all that walking about..

Thanks Sanjit..

hahaha..

and I mean that in a good way!!

Woke up super early today feeling really good & refreshed

*yawns*

I'm feeling sleepy again

Could I be getting my old vibes back?

[ 4:33 PM ]

I'm going mental
Honestly I am.
People who are close to my heart are now ripping my heart apart
And the more I try to calm myself down,the more angry I get
How can it be that I could actually be pissed with the one person

who seems to be the apple of everyone's eyes?
I dunno?
So that means perhaps its my fault then?
I dunno the answer to anything..

yet I'm a freaking genius for asking everything under the blue sky!
WHY WHY WHY?
Don't tell me to calm down..I'm very calm..in fact I'm so calm I could die from containing it all inside me!!
Supposed to meet Sanjit for movie+makan tomorrow,with my current mood I asked him if he was sure he wanted to meet up with me..its been some time since we had some time out so yeah hopefully it could be a good thing

I have also decided that I need to stop this problematic ranting & worrying once and for all.

I never used to be a pessimist..

In fact I was always the optimistic one

Yet look at me now..

This is not who I am..

I hate reading back on my blogs and seeing so much negative stuff in there brings me down..

Sometimes when we are all alone with no one to confide in..this is what happens.

So those of you who are surrounded by loved ones..

Count your blessings..never take these people for granted.

I have decided not to post anything negative in here

if I can help it..

I hope to be back soon with happier news

[ 7:21 AM ]

Here I stand alone

With this weight upon my heart

And it will not go away

In my head I keep on looking back

Right back to the start

Wondering what it was that made you change

---------------------------------

2 weeks since that fateful day

Each week I push myself forward

Refusing to succumb to the overwhelming despair

Then at the end of each week

I crack & I break again

Why is it that all the songs I hear now

Tells me something about what we used to share?

I never found it this hard to forget

Then again..

I guess that's simply because

I refuse to forget

I write these empty words

Reaching out to an invisible audience

Others go on with life

Happily without a second thought

I laugh along like a hypocrite

I can't talk..so I tease

I can't cry..so I laugh

It all started as a dream

Now that its over

I wonder if it really was a dream

Then I wish that I had never woken up

No..

Don't look at me with your sympathy

Don't show me your irritation

I used to think that people over dramatized their heartbreak stories

After all..it's just another blow isn't it?

That's the way I used to think

Not anymore

Now that I know..the pain I'm going through alone

I would never wish this pain on my worst enemy

All the hurt & misery I'm going through

Trying to hate but end up hating myself

To be perfectly honest..

Half the things I've planned to do..

Now I have lost the will to even start doing

What's the point?

Who cares?

No one.

[ 1:41 AM ]

I have been yakking alot the past few days
So I thought I'd quit the chatter for a bit &
take the time to share some of my picks from the hotties in the music scene
especially for those who're too busy to keep
track every week..enjoy..oh yeah my fellow metalheads & rockers..
I doubt you'd enjoy this much hahaha..the next time I'll
focus on those genres..now..lets MOOOOOOVEEEE IT!!

Ok first up,you'd have to be pretty much a hermit if you've yet to hear this song or at least the hp ringtone of this song..from the soundtrack of Step Up 2..

Remember Chris Brown?
This is another sweet,cute,soulful number from the cute fella..
Already topping charts worldwide for months now...it's a real feel good number..
Mind you..I didn't like it at first,but I finally gave in to the awwwwwness of it all
Sighhh..

Another song from the soundtrack of Step Up 2..
Missy's baaaacccckkkk!!!

I am addicted to this song here!!
Arrrghhhh!!
Timbaland rocks my socks!!
This song has got a wicked sexy beat on it..

Timbaland again..damn I can't get enough of Timbooo!!!
This time with Flo Rida..
hot hot hot...

Next up..sigh..Rihanna..
why the big sigh?
the song is great..really rockin groove,
but sampled from Michael Jackson's
Wanna Be Startin' Something..which is not a big deal but
Rihanna..what's with SO MUCH sampling in this album?
Most of the songs are spin offs of some 80s hits..
oh well..I guess the kids today wouldn't know that..
anyways..GREAT song..

Next up,one of my fave pop princesses..
in fact in my opinion..the ONLY pop princess..
Kylie..in her comeback hit..after her recent battle
with breast cancer..and doing what she does best..
with a bang!God..I love this woman!!

Next up..the ''so called'' pwincess of pop..
ms.shitney spears..oops
i mean..britney spears...
haha..ok ok i dun really like her but I'm kinda sorry for her
& this song,her latest video, isn't half bad at that!!
ps: i think she looks hot in that purple dress..trashy but really nice

My cousin is so addicted to this song!
Maroon 5..with their signature style

Hmm well im still gettin used to this song
which is blazing rapidly thru the charts..
he IS nice to look at though..
hehehe

The only reason this song attracts me
is coz Kanye West is in it..*grins*

Ok there's loads more..but this post is damn long as it is..

so TO BE CONTINUED...

Toodles darlings

[ 1:05 AM ]

Last night I was channel surfing as usual after the hallowed Sun Tv drama marathon

As usual nothing seemed to catch my eye

There seemed to be some interesting movies playing but most of them had already started

I then hit upon channel 68..and saw a quick flash of someone that looked like Jack Black..in a trailer for the next movie time slot

Hmmm

A Jack Black movie?

Now that was something I could enjoy

The opening credits started rolling and I saw the names..

Kate Winslet

Cameron Diaz

Jude Law

Ed Burns

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

no Jack Black?

I knew I saw him..I did I did I did!

Oh well anyways then I thought..

Hmmm..Kate Winslet AND Cameron Diaz?

America vs Britain?

That also sounded interesting to me.

So I kept watching.

For those of you who aren't as backdated as me..

The movie I was watching was ''The Holiday"

It started out very interestingly with a narration by Kate Winslet..

It really caught me off guard..

It went something like this..

" For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back."

whoa.

and all this while staring at the dude she's in love with.

i have never seen Kate Winslet in any ''normal'' roles.

Y'know..I always sorta related her to Titanic..

or something to do with those English period movies..

Not as a conventional office going woman searching for love

So that too made me continue watching.

As most of my friends know..I do not like to watch romantic movies..or things they call..''chick flicks'' very often..unless its really funny..

I was super bored so I had to keep watching..

Not that I had to try much coz the movie was super interesting!!!

and YES..Jack Black was also in the movie!!

*yaaaaay*

Cameron Diaz was super cute in her role as a woman who had everything but love..I was amused at the way she'd TRY her best to scrunch up her face to cry but could not manage to squeeze out a single tear..the reason for that she'd reveal later in the movie..and then it was kinda sad.

Kate Winslet tugged at my heart strings everytime she hid her disappointment & smiled infront of others but burst into heartbreaking tears when alone..awwwwww

Jude Law..wow..wow..wow..the British men are really something different altogether aren't they..*gazes dreamily* ok ok fine prior to this movie i didnt really like him much coz of all those news reports of him & his scandalous love affairs..but the role he portrayed in this movie was really..dreamy...to me anyways.He plays the role of Kate Winslet's brother.

Jack Black..in a totally different role..playing a man dejected by finding love only to lose it..but delivered in absolute Jack Black humour..

Now aren't these 4 actors enough reason for you to catch this movie?

Yeah yeah its a Xmas holiday movie from way back in 2006 but its good!

Guys I promise you..this is no normal chick flick..its abt MEN too!!

Well I was so busy talking about the characters..I barely mentioned the basic plot..

It's about these 2 women from different parts of the world,

who meet online in a home-swapping vacation scheme.

Which basically meant they'd each travel to the other person's country and live in their home,and use their stuff and everything for that vacation period!

Hahah sounds absurd?

Anything works in the movies!

Anyways both these women are plagued by men-related problems and they happily set off to escape from their own miserable lives..but end up falling in love with the local guys they meet while on the vacation.

Unique storyline..unique actors that added a zest to the characters they portrayed..

If you have HBO Hits,catch it!

Definitely worth watching!!

Of 12 Things (You Probably Didn't Know) About Me

Came across this on Jijay's bloggie..and here are my random 12

1. i do not know how to use chopsticks

2. i am super sensitive to the way people talk more than the words they actually use
3. i love long bus rides..that's the time I stare out of the windows & fantasize with the music playing in my ears..

4. i have a fear of sleeping when I'm alone at home..so i either force myself to stay awake or turn on the cartoon channel at a high volume and sleep with all the lights turned on

5. i am terrified of birds ever since I was attacked by crows on 2 occasions.

i was terrified of escalators & used to take the stairs everywhere till i was 12.

6. i have an overactive imagination that picturizes words people talk almost instantly in my mind..if the pictures don't form,that means I don't understand what is being said.

7. i am always afraid to hurt/offend people..it takes a lot of guts for me to actually confront someone,even if that person is in the wrong.

8.i don't forget conversations..not even after years..no matter how random the conversation was.

9.i am extremely scared to puke so if I know I'm about to puke,I cry

10.i have always wanted to die before I turn 50 so I don't have to face the world with saggy,wrinkly skin.

11.i love dark,brooding,silent,rebellious men

12.i used to throw stuff & break them when I got into one of my tantrums..i have broken several telephones,2 clocks,a pair of spectacles,a plate,an unbrella,several CDs,many vases,a couple of mirrors...and the list goes on..thankfully THAT has stopped now.

Hahaha now that you know a bit more about me..

it's only fair that you guys do this too!!!

[ 3:40 AM ]

Ahh its been some days since I came by here
Well had quite a topsy turvy week actually..
Have been on Facebook quite alot of late
There seems to be so much activities in there to keep a bored soul alive!
As for Friendster..
I'm so sick and freaking tired of them always filtering the HTML codes
which results in my beautiful layouts looking extremely plain & ugly!
If that isn't bad enough..they keep doing their so called upgrading every now and then,yet the damn website is flooded with hackers & viruses!
Not to mention the fact that the server is always super busy or down..which means that I have to click on the refresh button like crazy every time I do some minor editing,or try to reply to the comments & messages my friends leave me..
So damn frustrating.
Well this week so far has been kinda ok..
Didn't do much..
after having an overly emo week prior to this,
I was ready to push my troubles aside & shine on anyways
Its not easy but I guess I'm somehow doing it..
I talk to certain people even though I do not feel like it
I crack jokes..make a fool outta myself to make others laugh
Been loading up on old school rock n roll to keep me on the move
Shane..u'd be so proud of me..hehehe
Well yeah of course..once the music's stopped playing
the memories & questions come flooding back
I've shed enough tears for people who fail to realise the hurt behind the tears
After all I'm used to it..I should have seen this coming
So yeah.
Enough about that for now..

Met up with Koko at Yishun mrt yesterday after soooo long
Went down to Sun Plaza and settled down for a good yakking session
I was ravenous as I had not eaten anything the whole day and it was way past lunchtime
So went looking for something to eat & ended up at the food court at the top level
Koko was thinking that I'd head straight for the chicken rice stall as usual
I was sorely tempted la..but thinking of my diet,I passed by the stall resolutely
I mean yeah I was starving and it was perfectly alright to have a little carbs for lunch but nahhh..I LOOOOVE chicken rice..I would not be able to stop at just one thirds of the rice..
So went walking around & finally decided to have western food.
Yeah yeah I hear you..you're saying,"Western food not fatty meh?"
Well hellllloooooo..I planned to just eat the meat & veggies ok!
Hmph
Well I settled on the chicken chop meal..coz I ALWAYS have fish n chips..so yeah thought of having something else..
Well I know my intention was good,and I really thought this would be a decent meal to have without feeling guilty..
but just look at my lunch..
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!

Perhaps this is very usual for many of you,but I know I felt paiseh
carrying the plate back to my seat which was super far away hahahaha..
The plate was like waaaay larger than the tray itself..
should have known that the MEAL portion would be this large..arrgh
Thankfully Koko decided to share the food with me..coz it looked yummy
So I ate only the chicken & the lettuce,and just 2 lil fries for old times sake
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA..
oh yeah and the egg yolk..which Koko accusingly pointed out that I was in fact eating the chick
Told her to shut up and let me enjoy the yolk.
Hmmph
We smsed & disturbed Mary who was still busy at work..
managed to convince her to join us after work
In the meantime we were so chilled after sitting in the food court for about 2hrs..
We decided to walk out and get some sunlight
Ended up walking to Koko's mum's place which was just opposite Sun Plaza
Haaiz so many memories in that area
In 2002/2003 Koko & I used to always hang out at Sembawang Park & at the area near her block just to chit chat about life.. we usually had some soft drinks & some sinful chocolate to complete the sessions..THOSE were carefree days..the early 20s..fresh from our teenage years..still grasping the meaning of being young adults..
Well anyways..didn't see Koko's mum for ages
It was nice to see her again..she's such a jolly woman..
..oh and of course...
there is another important member in the family..
one that freaked me out since my secondary school days

Meet Koko.
The original Koko..
The nickname was so cute that we christened it upon our darling friend back then
hahaha..which is why we rarely call her by her real name,Ganga..
So this is the original Koko and he is a very nice little doggy..
The photo you see is a recently groomed,furless version
I have nothing against him..
just that...
IM TERRIFIED OF DOGGGGGIIIESSS!!!
Everytime I go to a friend's place I sit very stiffly when the pet dog checks me out..
y'know..all the sniffing & wagging of tails ..and panting..
urrghhh...animal lovers pls don't hate me..
I'm more terrified of them then they are of me!!
This time Koko was very excited..he kept running around my feet & watching me intently..in fact there was so much of eye contact as he looked up at me..I didn't know what to do!!
I just smiled weakly..gave a little flutter of a wave and said.."hiiiiiiiii"
he replied by furiously wagging his tail
My friend's mum said that he was asking to be petted..
I tried..I soooooooooo very much tried..to bring my hand forward..
but quickly withdrew my hand at the last moment..
*shudder*
scared laaaa.
and I also didn't want him to suddenly stand up & place his paws on my knees..
Like thissss..

He once did that to me when I was alone in the living room

and I nearly trembled & cried!!

hahhaha aiyooo I know its bad but I'm just freaked out!

As u can see.. this little doggie is very curious..

always wants to know whats happening

Especially cute when he responds to the mum when she sweet talks to him in Tamil..

Even I can't understand Tamil properly and the doggie can..

*hangs head down in shame*

anyways after a while he got bored of us and proceeded to ignore our endless chatter &

snooze near the doorway

One by one the entire household started returning from work..

Been ages since I saw them..

Mary came around 7pm and we all sampled the mum's crispy fried chicken..

it was yummy indeed!

Drat this diet..sigh.

We sat around talking for a while..had a lot of fun laughing

Left around 8pm..as Koko had to head back to her place before her hubby got back,and I was supposed to meet my mum to head down to cousin Eve's place..which was also around the area..

The girls spoke to my mum for a while before all of us went our separate ways for the night..

Mum & I went to Eve's place for a short while then since both of us were too tired to walk all the ay back to the MRT station,we took bus service 859 back to Yishun..

Sooo it was a good day for me..to be with my best buddies in an environment that evoked lots of fond memories..

Was damn exhausted by the time I got home..and the weather..omg..the weather is seriously screwed up..I have been drinking lots of water..

well..lots more than usual anyways..

yet manage to wake up in the middle of the might feeling dehydrated

Thought I'd sleep early since I was so tired out..ended up yakking on the phone with Sanjit..and yeah teasing him non-stop..(he calls in bullying..whateverrrr)

Poor guy managed to get off the hook at 3am...

I still could not sleep the weather was THAT bad!

After tossing & turning..got up and out of bed..

Sigh

Some things never change.

Ok its really late now..

Still have some stuff to complete..

Before I go..

I promised my darling Twinny that I'd show her something

You see..I was bored & was randomly

staring at the E Entertainment channel

when they featured the life story of a popular Hollywood actress..

For some reason I just kept watching even though I wasn't a big fan

As they went back to the past photos of this actress..

I realized with a start..

that she actually looked like someone I knew!

I mean the current look of this actress is kinda slightly different now..

when she was much younger she looked like ..

very very very much like..

my dear Twinny!!!

SEEEEE???

its young Jennifer Aniston vs current Twinny

OMFG
I'm extremely sure Twinny would have looked like her in the 80s

if she had long straight hair!!!

Now that I am done..

I shall await for the slaughter by Twinny

Till then..

Au Revoir darlings
