Image is me

Ahem. I like to consider that I am generally quite well-behaved and has a image when im out at school or work even though i may have uglylikeshit messy ungroomed hair at times when im pigged too much overslept.

I also like to think that im not the kind who easily let out a shriek like "OMGGGGGG ITS THAT CUTE GUY I'VE BEEN OGLING!!!" but rather go "hey, that guy so cute hor, but for ogling purpose only. :D"

you know you know?!?! and what i did today at home totally ruined my image in front of my childhood hero. omg.

i have nothing to say except that i wish i could dig a tunnel and jump into it! :(

oh.. and qiu yun has such a funny post on her blog. about us laughing at her when she go "im seriously serious" with that 0.0 look on her face. :X

OUT!

Aint no answer!

Wah lan eh...

First & foremost, I am not your answering machine (not in the literal form) or the one who answers all your strings of stupid questions.

I don't mind helping people and answering questions you know.. but before asking any questions, can at least make the effort to listen, try and do anot?

Don't ask me questions even primary school students or below can answer one. Damn time-wasting can and annoying can?! Everything also need people to spell out and work it out for you then what do you do?

Eat, shit and sleep?

I was saying that I should hide myself and laptop in a box (like what they do in movies.. where the people go to church to confess in a 'box-like' cubicle) then start answering questions for people who don't wanna use their brain for $0.50 each. From ABCs to directions, I will hide inside there and while im surfing for the answers, maybe msn abit, surf blogs abit.. and maybe earn my first million dollars this way.

Studies mentioned humans only used 10> % of the entire brain. So if people aint using it to think, seriously.. i don know what can be done already lor.

i know i sounds sarcastic and big ego here, but just put yourself in my shoe and finally think. okay?

special buddy

Someone please kill me please.

I was just looking through my contacts and saw a very very familiar nick staring at me in the face. I missed the one who had so much conversations with me in the past and i've been thinking, if he's angry with me so much that he's aint chatting with me anymore. :(

so i pluck up my 12000000% of courage and ask him the one thing that has always been on my mind.

"why aint you msg-ing me anymore?"

"erm.. busy.."

"oh."

wasn't the best answer in my mind i supposed. but thats not the end.

"i've been playing ragnarok recently.."

"!!!!!!"

someone please kill me please. even if for the few months before that i thought something's gone wrong.

i guess he's a very special buddy. someone i dont wanna meet but can talk anything with and even live some space in my daydreams. but still...

interesting classmates

I have such interesting classmates. :D

I have classmates loving to dig at me (honestly, i don know why!) and female classmates who thinks too much.

the guys? they are even better. I have a teammate who resolves to sleep in class! Reason: "got air con, got music and if i cannot sleep, still can youtube and play games. you say shiok anot?" is his very styled statement.

its 3.39am now and im still awake. im probably tired but doesnt know. because i just bawled my eyes over some sad soap drama again!!

love it because its so touching.

hate it because my nose is blocked again. arggg!! :(

really, if this continues, i think i might be influenced by my very styled classmate and start sleeping in class!!

but first, i need to avoid being caught. having comment like "you;ve been sleeping in almost all your xxxx modules" is so not appealing. heh!

My apologises!

was reading a close friend's blog when i suddenly realizes (or maybe long ago.) that we're losing touch.

losing touch because we haven't been exchanging msn messages/sms.

losing touch because we haven't been finding enough time to get out together (work, studies and some other miscellanous.)

losing touch because it seems like we have different priorities in life.

but losing touch doesn't means that im gonna delete you from my best buds' list on msn and put you into a stranger list. it just means that "hey! we gotta find time out soon!"

im sorry if any felt neglected, ignored by me..

sometimes when im working hard (actually i've been working hard everyday since school started ok!) i'd off my msn and concentrate on getting work done. it is especially so when i put on a busy sign (which says that im BUSY) and some faggets keep irritating me non-stop about stupid things like. meeting on saturday. like its the most important thing on earth that i have to get back to them there and then.

so, instead of blocking them (and forgetting to unblock them later) i log out from msn. now i dont get stupid nudges from stupid people who keep telling me saturday is so important..(heng that person doesnt know this blog. hiakhiakhiak!)

and since i left my phone in the bag (with silent mode on) im pretty oblivious to everything that is happening.

mom calls me to scold: no answer (heh!)

classmates/friends calls me for lunch: no answer

anyone else calls: too bad, i call you back later. (when i see the missed calls)

 

so if there's anything.. people please.. SMS me. That's like leaving a post tag on my handphone which I'll get back to you asap, during lunch period or.. after school. :D

or another reason could be..

im in my escapist mood again! :(

being a escapist

Everytime I am tired of something, stressed about something I will keep to myself and furthermore aggrevate the situation (and my mental state) by asking questions like why it happened.. why did i do that.. all that kind of thing.

After which, the ending is always a break away from whatever it is I am stress/tired or just simply dont want to care anymore. the excuse never fails to be..

"i need time to recuperate." from whatever it is im facing problems now.

sometimes i think to myself and picture myself as a escapist in my own world. but when im faced to make such decisions with other involved, im usually the one who initiate the solution or ask to have the responsibility lands on me. im never the escapist in front of people, i guess.

and it is time like this that you find me totally uncontactable. i wouldnt answer phone calls (or disconnect it immediately if i accidentally accepted the call by mistake)/ refusal to reply to any sms or msn received.

there are times when im out with my friends and i refused to pick up calls, even though we're gonna meet in 5mins. its not anything but i just feel tired to even exchange conversation anywhere.. even for 1sec.

i dont know if its because i've been so used to becoming the better ones, stronger ones in the clinques i've been that it is weird that all i want is to look small and average in front of people as well.

i feel helpless and weak too. even if you can't see it. and i would appreciate it greatly if you would, allow me to smoothen out my thoughts and feelings alone rather than forcing me to open up and show my strong front, at the very wrong time.

i am not your superwoman, ok?

Quiz: Which Tarot Card Are You?

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

U-Petgamart Special!

It was a doggy day. Met up with Iris and off we zooooom! to petmovers to buy her darlin' cubby stuffs.

And you know what? She really treat a dog better than human leh. :( Nevermind, better don't say.. later I sad again!

So what happen is you know there's a pool area for the dogs at the farm? Damn cutee!! I saw the dogs there and couldn't resist taking a picture of it..

they looked so happy!! :D

But all the dogs were so big.. and the moment they came near me, i literally hide behind Iris.. LOL! I'm so scared of big dogs. Fortunately, her cubby is small small and is so cute which is a very big contrast from the owner. :X

After we got 2 big bags of shopping on our hands, we began to explore the new U-petgamart at Pasir Ris Farmway 1. There's also a pond there for the doggies, but its much smaller and doesn't seem so fun as the above.

But hor, shopping in it can be so much fun!

The environment are so much cleaner, cooler (air-conditioned) and you have a special guest in it. Let me show you who he is..

now you know why i said "he". Heh!

He is special because.. he is so gentle. While playing with other small doggies, he would pull them by the skin at the neck area to play with them. But all the doggies would be running away. Guess why?

because he is so... tall.

and you know what? this picture probably tells it all.

he is so dwo kee damn big can!?!?!?

walao. Once, i was trying to take picture of him and he almost came too near to me. Imagine my horror when I saw his face right in front. Suddenly my reflexes became so fast and I wanted to zao so badly.. if not for he suddenly had another interest and went in the other direction.

Whoa, damn scary can?!

Then had tau huay and walked past a petshop. Saw an albino rabbit with 2 guinea pigs and I was telling Iris when she replied..

"they good friend what.."

Lol! Its true, guinea pigs and rabbits most of the time gets along but its so much fun seeing them together living under one roof! :D

 

From the traumatised,

Charps!

quit-the-caffeine Pt. 1

I've been back to the routine of sleeping on the bus these few days on the way back home from school. I felt tired and the moment i walked out of my class, I wished i had a pillow to fell on and sleep.

Irregardless of where i am and how it will affect my image.. really. i was that busted! :(

ever since the semester started, its been boring-boing school for me. not that my classmates aint fun, but perhaps some of them are just more reserved, as compared to the 99% of eh. hyperactive people in [W.x.G].

so i wasnt so active in class today because i was feeling really tired (and even almost dozed off during presentations) so i didnt really talk as much as i do or laugh as much as i do.

and..

aiyoooo!!! my quit-the-caffeine plan did not worked as well as i do. for the whole day, i literally think twice about the food i eat, the drinks i gotta drink. when i wanna drink coke light, i'll say "hey that caffeine!" and switched to another alternative.

i even rejected the chocolatery urge! :(

but look what happen when i saw that glassy bottle of strawberry flavoured tea? i bought it and halfway through did i realized..

"shit, caffeine!!!"

totally wreaked.. haiiyooo!!! gotta try my best for the upcoming weeks and months.. no more caffeine addict!

P.S: i realized i cannot quit chocolate/tea forever one. so i think i will quit coffee first. no more than 1 cup per month!! :D

caffeine-free project!

You know, I was typing a really angry post up here for a very very trivial reason and i suddenly remembered that donkey years ago, i read/glimpse across an article talking about

..caffeine-allergies.

so hor, i quickly searched and fully extend my potential of being a PBL student and found out I've been affected by those so-called symptoms.

i will get very angry, short-fused and easily irritable then usual after i drank coffee. i will feel sleepy, giddy after a short boost of energy for like. 1 hr?

and then i turn into a monster... *ROAR!!!!!*

So i decided, i will be caffeine-free from tomorrow onwards.. or from now, if it matters!

i will skip all sodas, coke light, root bear, tea and mocha.

i will concentrate on h20 and plain water. :D ohhhh.. what joy! charps will be a happy, caffeine-freee young lady!

and you know what!?

caffeine is one reason why women are having weird moodswings all that kind of things too.. apparently it messes up our system somehow. so hahaha. you people should be happy lor, i will be more perverted than usual and happy leh!

 

from the happy,

Charps! :D

161/168 frequency increases!

A good news to all who are taking 161 or 168 to school (aka me!!)

Republic polytechnic is increasing the bus frequency to cater to our needs! We now have more spaces to squeeze into! More buses to take instead of the long wait (and Qs) and ended up inhaling second hand smoke from the irritating-cant-wait-to-die smokers people who are at the bus stops.

so in a way it means..

im not the only psycopath who chooses to travel long distance just to go to school okay?!?!?!?!?!?!

and i'd love to have more bus frequency.. so i won't need to have the 'macdonald' auntie squeezing her butt in with us or the ah pek who ignore everyone and squeeze his butt in every inch of the bus.

i think i'll board the bus earlier tomorrow, just in case the crowd gets more again! :D

 

with regards,

because i said so

after a long time.. i finally get to watch because i said so!! :) Met up with Foo to watch it at plaza sing for the 7.20pm show.. since the other places either doesn't show it anymore or show it at 9.25pm. imagine the time it is when the movie ends!

so we bought the tickets before Foo buys me dinner! lol! i had fish instead of my usual teriyaki chicken. kinda scared of chicky nowadays so.. yeah.

i dont know if its me being sleepy or the movie's making me sleepy. because i haven't been sleeping well for the past nights and diane keaton is making me sian with all her rumblings. like she can't stop talking for once and listen to her daughters. obstinate people. sigh!

so i was like "why don't the daughter just slap the mom or something to ask her to shut up.." i'd surely lose my composure, but not to the extent of slapping people.

i don't fancy slapping my hand onto the t-zone. lol!!

but let's not digress. i was about to say that at one point of time, i think.. i might have almost dozed off in the movie.( =. =")

Foo actually turns and see if im sleeping because everyone was laughing at something and im quiet. heng i wasn't so unconscious that i still could see the shadow and immediately woke myself up. :)

anyway today's my legal off day from school (yay!!!) and im lazing at home (maybe) to catch up on my rest before i return to school tomorrow for more mathematics & entreprise-alike modules.

really lor.. i thought no more maths modules in my poly life EVERRRR until i realize otherwise.. now i just hope Foo can help me mug mug mug since we're studying almost the same modules.. which i just realized after 1 year. Lol!

School Reopens with Joy.

what happened last night.

12am - went to bed, very guai of me. :D

1am  - damn, im still awake! find face dirty, wash and even put on a mask.. LOLL coz it says "soothe and calming effects".

2am - still awake, washed face. back to bed again.

5am - finally asleep after hours of staring at ceiling..

6am - awoke by mom's shriek. :S

 

Today was first day in school. Met the girls to get to class together, but didn't manage to meet W.x.G today for lunch! Because I was busy plotting graphs in the first break and 2nd break, the powerpoint. Only had around 10-15mins of break to grab myself a plate of very sickening-zha chai fan. and then its back to class again.

My classmates are pretty cute, some reserved(as usual) and some funny. My teammates for today is so cool! hiakhiakhiak. Especially with wen ming mei irritating me nonstop today. :D

...and of course that very cute guy in my current class. What a eye candy! He has beamy eyes and tanned skin and he seems shy.

lol! shy guys are so cute. :X but no, no.. im not head over heels with him or anything. cute guys are meant for ogling purposes only!!! :D

The faci today seems abit stern though, but i guess things may  change for the better when we get used to it. like i didnt used to like dr koh too. thought she was a .. @!$!$!@!!$ @%  but actually still quite nice la. lol!

tomorrow it's engineering cost decisions. i dont know how many days can i get by with mathematics. Awwww!

 

P.S: Addy, thanks for that very motivating line. of having fun in school. Though I think I might turn into a big fat worm at home if I don't go back to school..

P.S.S: I hope my W.x.G aint pissed with me for not having breakfast with them today.. really was caught up in the mathematics today. Arrrggg!

P.S.S.S: I am supposed to be returning Yi's VCDs but I forgot!!! :(

no more qianbian face

I am so ... nervous I can't get to sleep right now.. at 11.44pm (the clock on blogger is not zun at all for me). I wonder if its due to my late night sleeping habits that i can only fall asleep four hours from now, but i seriously hope i could get to bed after this post.

and i was very moody just now.. while playing cs. very very bad of me. :(

my use of vulgarities is going from infantry rank to commando! time to curb it or else i shall tape my mouth with scrotchtape just to shut it up.

what good is vulgarities anyway, other than spoiling my image and hurting people with words?

hiakhiakhiak.

i, charps of singapore (one & only) solemnly swear that i will try to be as optimistic as i can for tomorrow, the day after and every day that comes after it.

simply because.

i want to punch myself when i saw myself in the mirror just now. so qianbian can!?

no wonder my brother say i have a qianbian face. i now totally support his words. Grrr!

Unsure, as always

To: Ignorant Author (title of this blog - used to, anyway.)

The thing about the current me is that school's starting on monday and im not ready.

just not ready.

im not ready for socializing, introducing/making interactions and the many whatsnot that people do to make one another feels comfortable before they become friends. i think thats pretty much the..

ice-breaking session?

im in the same class as some of my exclassmates and im thankful for that, but perhaps just not as much as being in my current class. i mean, previous semester.

im feeling so unsure. arggg! :(

but on the otherhand i guessed i did want to have some changes.. gradually into the person i wanna be.

 

i guess i just need to stop feeling like this anymore. being difficult when all i wanna do is laugh it all out.

 

Regards,

Charps

Threadless.com

The new semester is here and im thinking of getting new shirts for myself. im not getting fila this time round (hope so!) and am thinking of threadless.com

it's a cool online tees store and the designs are from the masses. meaning you can design a tee too!

i saw some pretty good tees and should be getting them soon. but! if you're interested, pop over to www.threadless.com and take a look at the designs.

guys are at $15, girls at $17 and shipping feee would be first piece $6.50, $1.50 for every piece thereafter.

therefore im thinking of getting bulk order to push down the shipping cost. hiakhiakhiak! (shipping would be shared by ratio of shirts purchased.)

note that prices are in USD, and after conversion it should be around $25 for guys and girls in general. (i've calculated currency exchange as USD$1 to SGD$1.60 for safe estimation.

Today's exchange rate is $1.52. you get my drift.

PM me if you're interested or leave a tag/comment! (though i know more likely you guys pm me..)

lappie is a boy boy

I'm meeting the peeps at 5pm in school and planned to go out to the bank @ 3pm before I go gai gai abit, shop shop abit before i go play badminton and soccer to shed off the very disgusting layer of fats i've been consuming.

heng the tire hasn't showed, the scale hasn't broke down and heng heng heng, i am still 3 kg off last year's! :D

but now plan's delayed! my lappie is throwing a tantrum again.. for don know which reason!

reason #1: too long never shut down properly (2 to 3 days)
reason #2: too long never cleanup spywares & fix registry.
reason #3: naturally sucks so it is like that.

but there is a reason #4, which my very bad friend say should be the real reason why lappie is throwing a tantrum..

reason #4: i watch too much porn.

ohmygawk..
now the porn word just keeps repeating itself over and over in my mind sia. not that im literally watching porn.. but pictures of hunks!(with clothes - fully covered hor) very offensive and obscene meh?! like that also want throw tantrum..

conclusion: i think lappie is a guy :) cannot tahan my infidelty after molesting him everywhere.. on the keyboard, mousepad and even many more..

fat-turning day for a boring charps

Today is a boring-boing day, all wrapped up at home in my sweet smelling blanket because my fan has gotta too cold recently.

the reason for the coldness is simple. out of mom's free-ness and my eagerness to get rid of the stupid clumps of dust that has been accumulated on the fan (which aids the circulation of dirts all around the room no matter how many times i sweep it..) we decided.

The fan has to go, or I HAVE TO GO sleep in the living room maybe. hiakhiakhiak!

So we got the darn fan out and cleaned it upside down, backside and front.

It used to be cosy and just right at mode 3(highest) everynight and now its freaking cold at mode 1.

its ironic because now i wished i didnt cleaned the farking fan. brrrr! (Actually i dont understand why i get cold with the increasing fats on my waist. gotta have to weigh myself tomorrow!)

anyway, will be out tomorrow playing soccer with the guys (and the girls - yun..linney?) at school tomorrow. i hope the fries will make me break record again. hahahaha1

 

 

from the very cold & fat-turn-ing,

Charps!

Review: Cheng Li Yuan

After reading the review at blueseal, i simply cant wait for today's visit to cheng li yuan with sally!

 
Located a short distance away from the tanjong pagar mrt (its hidden in the shop houses), its really accessible because all you need is a 5mins walk.. although im not sure why today it seems that there's not much customers other than us. maybe its because today is a monday? monday's blue! hahaha.

im not sure if i'd want 100 xiaolongbaos at a go...:D

We had a long time browsing through the menu (actually is Sally hahaha) because im pretty much standard when im at dim sum places. Zha jiang mian & xiaolongbao is a must, unless i've tried and didnt like it.

this is the zha jiang mian. its basically noodles with shredded/cubed cucumber and spiced mince meat gravy. the zha jiang mian here was a little salty (due to the gravy i supposed) and i didnt like eating uneven cucumbers, considering the only time im eating cucumber is when im having my zha jiang mian. So i wont be ordering this when im back next time.

This is our little dragon bun(xiao long bao) and i think chinese should know that its a dumpling with soup dripping when you're eating it.

Taste wise is better than crystal jade and comparable to ding tai fung in my opinion, although at CLY, they have a darker color in their soup. At the price of $5/8dumplings, its definitely better than having the $8.50/10dumplings at ding tai fung.

seems like singaporeans are always paying more for brand names huh? :)

This is called shredded meat with popiah skin if im not wrong. The pork was shredded nicely and quite evenly (kindly pointed out by ms sally) and the veggies you see in the picture is actually white onion.

Sally has the making of a future popiah kia, while i think i am better off eating popiah than making them. the popiahs i made look like they're dropping anytime soon! :(

WEETS! I absolutely love this delicious dish. it's one of the recommendation and its a must-try when you're there! its a mix between crabmeat, fish, scrambled egg whites, one egg yolk, broccoli and vinegar! Tasted heavenly and its really healthy in terms of cooking.

Last but not least, I present to you the dessert of the day..

We ordered this because I wanted to try it (that sally didnt like red bean. :P) and it was really nice. It looks like bread, but doesnt taste like one. in fact, initially it actually gave me the idea that it might be a fish cake!

filled with red bean paste within and conventional sugar on the outer coat, it was surprising that its not that sugary and sweet as i thought it out to be. although it was a deep fry dish(like your donut) it doesnt have that greasy, oily (or pukey) feeling.

Sally and I didnt managed to finish off the dishes though, simply because the two of us were too full to eat anymore even though the food was good.

and all these are going for only.. $45!! INCLUSIVE OF GST + 1 COKE + 1 LIME DRINK(warning: the lime drink is really sour.. really lime - according to Sally. hahah)

Definitely a place I would love to visit again! :D

 

from the full-like-hell & happy,

Charps! :D

POSB GO! enhanced ATM card!

I am contemplating getting a new posb card for myself.  the POSB GO! enhanced ATM card. one reason why i wanted it is because..

  • i have very nicely (and wonderfully) left my posb bank book in a place nobody knows where(not even me) and mom is telling me almost everyyyyyy day to get a new book.
  • it works like a mastercard! it let you sign your purchases happily before sending you a statement to remind you of your balance after you happily sign sign sign. :D
  • is actually a darn atm card that allows me to take $$ not only from atms, but mastercard atms around the world too. meaning if i got lost in somewhere oversea (like pulau ubin) and if they happen to have master atms, im saved! :D
  • no card fee, looks WAY better than current greyish, plain atm card. :)

Seems like i have every reason to change my current atm card to POSB GO! enhanced ATM card. hiakhiakhiak! only con is no online/telephone orders function like my uob. but nevermind! since i wont be using much.. :D

think i will get the form tomorrow before meeting sally for xiaolongbao. :D

 

from the cardy,

Charps! :D

Long Entry on.. bo xim lang/kia

O' great. I was thinking through these few days and I found out that I have a severe problem case of ambigual personality.

Not in the literal case of course that would requires me a trip down to.. errr. hougang, but it really drives me nuts sometimes. Like how I would pretend i like this, like that all because some very smart alec/self-centered decisive bastard decides that well, charmaine gotta like this!

and no.. i don't like it one bit or at all. the reasons why im not saying it out is because im trying not to hurt anyone (actually im trying hard to increase my emotional quotient really.) and because i dont like to deal with the aftermath. the hows, the whys, the explanations and the tons and tons of smart lectures i gonna take from all you people.

and these are some of the things that i reallyyy reallllyyy hate/loathe... *clench fist tightly*


  • Explanations - ok look, I dont owe anyone a hell of explanation for all i care. but that doesn't means im irresponsible okay? sometimes it just feels like the more i say, the more it gotta get written off and its fruitless so i rest my case and stop wasting precious saliva on stupid people who can't see the facts lay out in front of them. so if i do owe you a explanation, i'll explain on my own account without you asking me for it in due course. FULL STOP.


  • Making the decisions - ahhhh look. you know how some people just take it for granted that you give them the respect of choosing and they forgo your opinions all together because they sees you as an indecisive dog and how they would loveeeee to do you the great favour (and you can thank them with roses and chocolates and even marry them as a way of reciprocation) because they're so kind, great and noble you're not supposed to say no, be angry at them and doubt their decisions. seriously, i think i can do without this kind of service. i have a brain, i have functions that allows me to know what i like and what i dont like. if im in a dilemma, i can throw a coin, spin my pen or even do nursery rhyme style. JUST STOP MINDING MY FUCKING BUSINESS AND LET ME MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS. :)

  • Giving 2cents' worth of opinions - ok sure, so we all like some advices, some suggestions and even some recommendations. but advices and suggestions are just references and when we say offer your 2cents' worth of opinions, make it sure it stays at that. at being 2cents', no more than that, its not to say that i take your opinions as shyt or worthless blabberings from you, but the fact remains that when i make a decision, i'll more likely like to have 90% or more, of my own opinions, own thinking process and own measurements.

    i welcome constructive criticisms with good suggestions, meaning if you're pinpointing any faults/flaws or you feel that something is wrong, say it out but specific whats wrong. if its a gut feeling, say its a gut feeling. don't go one round, beat around the bush and say "oh, i just dont like it" because i don need you to like it in the first place. thank you annoying nosey asshole. and if you have a idea in mind, make sure its better than the inital idea.

    ok, so now it gets a little subjective! how do we know whats better or not? for one, if its work, will the idea help more in the course of work than the previous idea? if its personal, does it help solve matters? like beating up people's mistress aint gonna save the broken r/s, so its a fantastically lousy and nonsensical idea that lands you in hot chicky soup and you can finally have your.. prison break, nice huh? :D)

      Yeah, i guess these are the things that kept me from blogging these few days because i cant get them out of my chest and they''re suffocating me!

      i know some of you reads this blog but hell i don know if you know im referring to you! (please help source your conscience somewhere.. and make doubly sure its not stuck in your poo hole, arsehole or up your nose for that matter.) and i know im gonna sound a little crude here but please, please respect me as a human, as a friend. even if you treat me as a stray animal you occasionally pat on just to show your caring side (believe me, i know who these people are and im just not giving attitudes - yet.) you dont come looking for me when you're in need and shun me when you're fine because by now, im treating you like a fly. arsehole.


      and these are my heartfelt words to all you people out there who commits this evil deed..


      dont play buddy buddy with me out there when you know those people are my friends and you gotta be my buddy to hang out with them and you know you need my help so you play buddy to pave your path.

      really.. i dont mind helping a stranger. but dont give me that buddy trick because i find it very bo xim of you when i treat you like a buddy and you treat me like invisible, transparent and totally omittable when you dont need my rendering service me. im not gonna say that im a stewpit, naive and innocent slurp, but yes, i gotta admit that i am very.. easy to trick, bluff, poof.

      so all the more you dont take advantages of me okay, because im easy to put trust in mammals.

      O.. and finally im done with this blabberings and im feeling safe, satisfied and happy enough to doze off into my dreamland now, though im still wondering why on earth am i tolerating these creatures(mentioned above) and treating them as my friends. :D


      P.S: I hope I didn't mention any vulgarities, cheap & awful words in the paragraphs before, because im trying hard to match up to these high class people and im not supposed to show my sarcasms too! *act girly and whiney* OH MY GAWK!!!! DID I JUST SAID SHIT?!?!?!?! HOW AWFUL!!!! MOMMMMMMYYYYY!!!! :{

      Sarpino's Pizzeria

      Did i mentioned that i've just called for Sarpino's? they've got this combo for a pasta and regular pizza going off @ $21.80. Apparently they dont charge extra delivery charge and they have different outlets catering to different parts of singapore so the wait won't go pretty long, like 2 hours when its peak hours. duh!

      Review

      This is the 10" Ranch Style Chicken pizza. The crust is not as thick as pizzahut (which is good, really!) and the ingredients are aplenty. I like the tomatoes, though usually i won't consume them because of the seeds. the tomato burst in your mouth when you bite onto it and the people at Sarpino's were not stingy about the cheese.

      BUT! THEY ARE STINGY ABOUT 20CENTS!!! :(

      The delivery guy was also late from the appointed 1 hour from ordering time. upon the receiving of $22 (for my bill of $21.80) the guy just stood there with the money in his hand until I say "take the change" like 2mins after I glared at him. bad service there! :)

      This is the chicken carbonara that we got in the mix and match package. With one look, it is apparent that the pasta was overbaked badly with edges of chaota-ness by the side. (see above picture)

      The pasta was dry, not at all creamy and the chicken was veryyyyyy tough and dry from both pasta and pizza.

      All in one, I would give 5/10 for Sarpino's. Bad pasta and service is definitly not something likeable.

      feverish

      Ever since I've blogged about more toilet-washing, I've been down with the bad toothache from my bad growing canal tooth (aka bad bad wisdom tooth) and it got me a bad bad bad headache and a bad bad bad bad fever.

      infection again lor.

      yesterday night was the worst man. after playing cs with nas,  chun sang, siva and couch (plus the bots too..) i really wanna get to sleep at 2am.

      that was so guai of me, because i don't usually call it a day till 5am in the morning.

      so i shut down my lappie, toss & turn on my bed for an hour ++ just because of the migraine thats bugging me and the slightly swollen left side of my cheek. had to wake up in the middle of the night at 4am to eat some painkillers, drink some salt and brush my teeth before i could finally get to sleep without not much pain.

      and painkillers really taste shitty. grrr!!

      today i woke up at 4pm and saw alot of messages. chicken nugget. cannot go out again! but thanksfully, my fever is down, headache is gone and cheek is no more that swollen.

      but im hungry, like .... famished.

      officially e loo guardian

      Hiakhiakhiak.. these 2 days i've been going without Cs-ing and its really weird!

      what would i do without them next semester!? :(

      and i've been so wanting to play soccer lately.. after that evening with the peeps! but i wouldn't know when we can play again since nas hasn't been online (must be busy watching porn), yun back in malaysia and me? nursing my bad headaches.

      ridiculous..

      i really tao yan..!!!!!!!!!

      just don't understand why there are people who thinks in the most ridiculous way, thinking that their so-called ingenius methods is so smart when all they do is polish up their art of lying and the art if wiping somebody's butt after they did their business.

      and it is most ironic that when you point out the mistake in their so-called ingenius way, they tell you that "because you don't know the way of life..."

      what?! the way of life is to lie, then cover up with another lie and then start telling the whole world how smart you are when everybody else knows you're lying?

      i think it's just being impractical, illusioned and having a nut in your head as your brain.

      ..which is pretty true for someone so ridiculous as you. sigh!
