Penguinzzz....

Last nite, i caught the show "March of the Penguins". Well, I didn't quite expect it to be that literal. It's basically a french documentary on penguins with a couple of attempts in making funny penguin comments here n there. I know penguins are quite cute, but still i didn't need a crash course in penguins from birth to death. So i walked out before the show ended.

Unbelivably, i woke up at 6am today. Not sure why either. I wasn't having severe nightmares, nor were my chickens making excessive noises. My handphones were not ringing either. I figured that i was dwelling on certain matters in my mind that kept me occupied the whole journey to office. Aftermath of tkd tourney i guess. The main regret was really not participating in this year's tournament.

Oh yeah, i've finally lodged a police report for my loss of passport. Quite an interesting encounter. Went to the police post in clementi. When i got there, there was a sign on the locked door stating that the police was in the toilet n i had to wait 15 min. Fortunately, i was near the end of the "15 min". Realised that the policeman was alone n i asked him if he was bored. He actually said "Yeah, luckily they got radio in every police post. But so bored, we always chat with all our complainants.." N we chatted. Tot it was quite funny. Anyway, i'll have to pay at least $200 fine for the loss of passport, i think. :( Hopefully the savings in petrol pumping in malaysia make up for the fine!

It's finally over!

Yup, the national tourney's over. Finally!!! Peiqi's request to mention that she's the 6th consecutive national gold medalist really made liang meng sour. It caused theresa to get scolded n small sir had to take the blame. N i simply got a kick from watching ah meng jumping around to complain. Oh well.. My legs are crammed n tired. My throat's pretty painful. My body's aching all over. I need a massage badly.. n i actually hv 4 coupons of free massages at some therapeutic places. Maybe i could use them soon.. ;)

Will make a police report on my lost passport tomorrow. I'm still not talking to my dad, so i've decided not to ask him about it. I'm still thinking what to tell the police. Couldn't really tell them that i was drunk when i last used the pssport to drive across the causeway by myself a couple of weeks ago n hence dun recall where i left it. Maybe i didn't even take it back from the customs officer..

Got a morning meeting tomorrow. Wonder if i'll wake up in time for it. Hopefully someone will give me a morning call (like the pple whom i'm supposed to meet after waiting an hour for me)!

Reptile Skin

Visited a few wholesalers of pool tables today. Dun like any i saw so far. My skin is peeling on my face too. Makes me feel snaky. Yet i'll probably go netball again this sat. Been talking very often to tammy, who's in new york, for the last few weeks. Wish i could just drop everything i have in singapore n fly there quickly. Then i dun hv to survive the national tournament torment.. Can u imagine signing 700 certificates?? It's crazy!

Went cell group just now n guess who i saw? Tan Chin Teck!!!Geez, he was rite next to the lift i was supposed to take, so i couldn't avoid him. :(

Feeling quite hungry now. Wonder if i should grab some food or starve to bed. Starving sounds like the healthier choice!

Brrr...... Cold!

It's raining a lot lately n i'm feeling cold. Couldn't even withstand the air-con in my car. Maybe it's cos of the reduced amounts of fats insulating me. Or the lack of food to burn n keep myself warm.

I still can't find my passport. I suspect it's stolen. How else could i have lose it?? N my prime suspect is my dad. He's acting weird. Rite, we quarrelled n haven't spoken since goodness knows when. Everyone's trying to convince me to start talking to him, but i can't be bothered. He'll just PMS again.

Today's ladies nite but i decided to head home instead. Even went home for dinner! Guess it was cos i drove n oso cos i've got nicer alcohol in my room.. hee... Watched my shaman king, reconciled bank statements, helped peiqi out with her assignment, burnt dvd. More productive though less happening. Well, i'm old.

Creaking

I've got an ancient body with a youthful face. At least that's the impression i seem to give people. Thursday nite basketball, fri nite tkd, sat morning netball, sat nite tkd --> Oversleeping on Sunday + body full of aches. Gosh.. my body needs oiling man! After the netball clinic, i realised that most of the 3-on-3 basketballers were actually netballers! Recognised quite a few of them, or rather they recognised me.. n were hoping that i could help them play inter-cpa. Even after i broke the news that i'm leaving pwc to them. :( But i'm still thinking if i can gate-crash pwc's dinner n dance in oct.. hee!

Spent today looking at many show flats from siglap to kallang area. Think i'm only interested in 2 developments. I went to most of them alone, a couple with my younger sis (was sending her all around singapore to search for dentist). The sales executives didn't quite believe that i was going to buy any unit by myself by subtly mentioning "What's your budget? You're buying for yourself? Err.. you look quite young"... u get the gist...

Oh, i was spotted on tv by my younger sis n her friend. Pity i didn't manage to see myself. Wonder if i look stupid or nerdy. N i realised that i've got sunburns when i felt pains on my shoulders n cheeks. Think i'll wear sleeveless to work tomorrow.

Aging

After last night's basketball, i've concluded that i'm old. No stamina at all! Not just that, i'm aching all over so much this morning, i couldn't even get up. My back is strangely hurting so much. Maybe iPamper is what i need.. :) We lost the game, but i guess it was great fun n great workout. I bet i lost AT LEAST 1000 calories from the game! Though i replenished half of it during dinner at adam road food centre..

Today's tkd nite at changkat. Got there slightly late as i was having consecutive meetings to pass over my work. Getting rid of tsmc, maxtor, shell, etc. Feels so good! Haha... poor brenda who has to take over most of the shit. Her request to transfer to another dept had just become stronger.

Tomorrow morning is netball clinic at kallang. I really hope i'll wake up for it. Will need to drop by ting fong to get belt for my student then maybe go cut hair. Thinking if i should drop by JB to pump petrol in the afternoon too. The petrol prices here are getting ridiculous!

Oww!!

I DID go orchard to shop yesterday. Bought a pair of shoes, 3 tops n a lacy skirt (unbelievable) at wisma. Fae's negative influence. My only consolation was the meagre discount i got for having the wisma card. Went to far east plaza after dinner as fae's sister recommended a salon there that performed miracles on her hair. However, they were closing n refused to entertain us. Somehow, i had a sudden terrible stomachache n was on the verge of fainting (no kidding). I couldn't even hear what Fae was saying n my vision turned black n white. Suspect it was an abrupt huge drop in blood pressure for some reason. Anyway, Fae got worried n sent me home in a cab.

As per fae's request, i wore the purple top n lacy skirt with the butterfly sandals that were bought last night. The stupid shoes gave me blisters on my tiny toes within an hour of wearing them! Maybe i should ask them for a refund..

Tonight's the basketball 3-on-3 inter-dept. Although we most likely won't win, i'm still thinking of naming our team "The Unbeatables".. Ok fine, we'll brainstorm of something else later.

sleepyheads

There's a party going on at velvet underground tonite. Supposedly their 11th anniversary, but I feel too sleepy to go. Instead, i might end up shopping for a while at orchard. I know, it doesn't sound like me at all.. n it's cos i'm too sleepy to think. Slept at 3am, n woke up at dunno wat time for my 9am meeting.. :(

Still awake..

I can't believe i'm still awake at this time, waiting for gigabytes of files to be transferred from hard disk to hard disk. I'll probably soon be sick of computers..

Space-aplenty

While trying to fix up yisi's hard disk with my own pc, i actually caused my own pc to auto-restart on its own in a loop. Managed to fix the problem, n realised that i had an idling hard disk of 120Gb inside my computer! When i tried reviving that hard disk, i realised that my existing hard disk had another 26Gb (unpartitioned) that i forgot about too! So within a night, i created more than 140Gb of hard disk space for myself.. :) Feeling so happy now. :)))))) *jumps on bed non-stop*

Aching away

I just knew it. After tkd/badminton/basketball/table-tennis workout last night at mountbatten, my body would be aching everywhere. Fortunately it isn't as bad as previously, which means my body is slowly getting accustomed to exercise again! Just got news that I can't postpone my US trip in Oct as the whole world's going to be there. I'm just afraid that my students would miss me.. :)

I'm now updating my blog at yisi's place. Been here the entire day since lunch n was discussing recipes with her mum n of cos fixing her comp. Ended up having dinner here as well, although i really didn't want to. Not that i preferred my maid's cooking but really, eating lunch AND dinner at someone's house... hmm... But the most discouraging thing that happened was when yisi had to ask me if my colleague brought me to cut my hair. She said it wouldn't have been so fashionable otherwise.

I'm now trying to convince my younger sis to pick me up since it's sembawang. Got a strong urge to pop by JB to pump petrol but feeling too tired. Maybe some other time.

Dazed

Went thumper on my own last nite at around 9.30pm. Had a few tequila shots (think i really like tequila) n tequila red bull. To fill my partially empty stomach, i also ate wings. Think partying alone is boring. Left after an hour or so. Wasn't too sure what happened, but i vaguely recall driving to JB n back since i woke up to find myself in the causeway jam. Then i drove over to fae's place in clementi to fix her comp around 1am. Woke up this morning n found myself sleeping on her sofa. Fae woke me up so that i wouldn't be late for my secret basketball training.

Got down there just in time. The whole team was there. I realised that our competition is on this coming Thursday! Guess i need to take leave from cell group once again.. After working off a thousand calories (i think), i drove down to esplanade with amrita n had max brenner. Boy was i so disappointed that they didn't have choc souffle! Drank suckoa instead while amrita had belgian waffles that she said was the best she had ever eaten.

Rushed down to bugis n met up with my JC friends for wanying's farewell before she leaves for UK. She'll probably be stuck there for 4 years at least. Left after a long lunch n just got home. Felt SO sticky i had to take a bath immediately. Also resolved my grassroots issue with lina finally. Going to clear 1 of my drawers now while letting my dvd burn.

Food-less

I'm feeling guilty about eating all those food last nite at jalan kayu jerrys grill. Really regretted ordering most of the food, including that cold fondant chocolate. To top it all, it costed almost 100 bucks (i.e. price of a sound card) n fed only 3 of us (n a few cats). My resolution to waste lesser money on food just became stronger. I think i only had 1 main meal today. Ate pig trotters at an Yishun coffeeshop outside maxtor. Then had garlic bread with soup at pastamania for dinner during cell group. Conducted our cell group there since wendy was sick. Now my stomach's grumbling non-stop n i've got the consistent thought of myself being very poor.. n i even had to play basketball in working clothes n heels to work off the excessive calories.

Anyway, i just started watching shaman king since i got home early. It's alrite, just that i keep thinking of naruto at the back of my mind. Tomorrow i'll most likely go to thumpers for the event. Oh n i've gotta entertain my taiwan client for a while in the evening too. He was disappointed in not meeting me today since i was hiding from office, having late lunch with peiqi at far east sq. Think he's determined to make me stay in pwc, but whatever.

Gotta sleep soon before my hunger pangs turn into gastrics. Though i've got all my gastrics pills ready...

SFX

Woah, i spotted a car yesterday with the latest license plate starting with SFX! That's so cool!! I should have waited till now before buying a car. Damn. SFX reminds me of the latest graphics cards and the abbrieviation for sound effects. The most important components of a gaming computer. N yes! Singapore is hosting WCG this year! Pity i'm not participating in it.. crap :(

SFY, SFZ.. so boring... Maybe i should be patriotic n wait for SGP. N my next car will be.... a Honda Integra!! Now i've to get past the fact that my younger sis is using the car most of the time while i'm paying for the car almost entirely.

Today's national day n for the 1st time, i'm not too interested with the celebration. After talking to peiqi (who's influenced by all her uncle cabbies) n reading all those blogs in mr brown style, i feel like starting another blog to voice my opinions on certain issues. Those that hit rite on the soft spot. Where commoners will cry their support in unison. Should i? ...

Early to rise

I can't believe i woke up so early today on my own. I didn't even wait for the alarm n it's a public holiday when i should be sleeping in. Maybe i had been brooding over the dream i had a couple of days ago. It left me disturbed the entire last nite.

Yesterday, we celebrated dehua's birthday by having dim sum high tea n late dinner with him. Since peiqi was around, we dropped by a couple of sports shops along the way to pick up a few more adidas n nike clothes. I was so impressed with myself for being able to fit into the adidas XS t-shirt! :) They also made me drop my netball clinic idea in the evening since i was having a secret basketball training this morning. Yeah, my team (except for the german girl since she'd only be back in singapore tonite) would be training 3-on-3 interdept basketball these few days to compete some time soon. Wonder if we'll get far or simply kicked out in the 1st round. Ooh, n i have a couple of colleagues who actually volunteered to cheer for us already! Haa..

My headache's coming back. Still dun understand why i'm up so early. Maybe i should try to sleep a bit more. N i just received a message that there's 40% discount at all petrol stations today at 4pm for 4 hours to celebrate national day! Dunno if it's true but i'd rather err on the side of caution..

Splurging

Yesterday, went to changing appetites with elinn for late lunch. Wanted to go light so ordered salad. Didn't know it was in a HUGE bowl. Ok, it was called super bowl n i didn't take it literally.. The next time i eat it, i make sure i share it with some sumo wrestler.

Had to help take class at changkat last nite cos TP n TH were having IR seminar. Dehua supposedly couldn't make it, but still ended up being there as he was in "nanny" mode. After class, TP, TH, peiqi n me went back to boring pasir ris west for dinner n settled all tournament matters too.

Woke up at noon today n went to east point for the sportslink sale. Somehow ended up splurging more than $200 (yeah i know, it's a sale..)! Ok, i got a basketball, 2 rows of shuttlecocks, more nike/adidas t-shirts, water-bottle, etc. In short, peiqi IS bad influence. N I made friends with the sales assistant in the shop. She was so nice n promised me more discounts next time i went back! Hee..

Just got home from 2 suppers again. Peiqi just didn't have enough at jackson although she ate stingray, oyster omelette, mango milk ice, sotong... so we proceeded to simpang bedok for roti prata after i got subdued by her craving. Oh yeah, i had a challenging parking lot at jackson earlier. When i completed the parking feat, I got out of the car n realised that many people were talking abt me. So embarrassing! Makes me conscious of the many pairs of eyes staring at me when i parked the ugly car. Feeling so full now, i started clearing n packing my wardrobe. It's so full of clothes! Tried my best to classify the clothes n colour-coordinate them (it's really tough since i'm partially colour-blind). Something i learnt from someone previously. Managed to fill 1 suitcase of clothes to be donated to salvation army. Wanna donate that suitcase too since i forgot the pin. Wonder if they'll take it.

Happenings

The last few days were endorsed by depression n tkd tournament matters. Fortunately, peiqi was around. A couple of days ago, I wanted to move into solitude n simply drink myself silly to stop pondering abt stupid things n hate sms. I didn't even wanna pick up peiqi's calls. However, her persistence n the tot of darren calling me for tkd tournament matters resulted in me coming out from that state of mind. We talked till the wee hours on one of the nites (can't remember which now). N thanks for the yonghe soya beancurd.. :)

In the meantime, I also completed naruto. Ha. N yesterday, i got an sms from elinn regarding her class last nite. Felt quite pissed that i didn't hear from her since that day i told her abt lee's sms till the time she needed help. Peiqi made us trash it out n guess it helped to clear the air. Called my cell leader to inform him of my absence that night. Really wanted to go cos i can't exactly make it for church on sunday n oso cos i needed the spiritual lift. Anyway, i went down to help elinn take class, distribute letters n settled the tournament stuffs after class. Did the boutsheet thingy till 1+am at pasir ris west coffeeshop while gobbling down my chicken chop n mango milk ice. Peiqi n darren helped out too, though half the time i felt like i was talking to myself abt how the computer system works. Or at least peiqi made sure i KNEW that i was talking to myself by reminding me constantly.

There was still more to be done to allow drawing lots to be made easier. But we figured that we'll just do it on sunday after referees' seminar. Guess somehow naruto n tournament stuffs helped me to get my depression thoughts out of my mind. Ok fine, peiqi probably did play a part in it as well. Knowingly or unknowingly.

Dun get me started

Blow wind blow. Blow all the pollutants away. And no more shall be said.
