Baby face, not good

Is it good to have a baby face? I don't think so. Like 林志颖, he's now what, over 30 yrs old? Every time he has a new character, for eg, a general in kungfu drama, or whatever, people will criticise him not mature enough to act as a general.

And there is me. Me, coming to 32 years old. And all the time I just attract people younger than me. Younger, as in, A LOT younger. It's good to look cute when I have a boyfriend, it is not good when I don't have boyfriend. Because I never attracted matured guys, I like older guys, as in, a lot older. So.. it's really sad to always attract younger guys...

Just today, I went sun tanning. A NUS student approached me and chatted with me. He thought I am in my early 20s.. add another 10 yrs please... I didn't tell him how old I am of course. He can only guess. He's sort of funny.. He asked me "So why did you come here?" or was it "So why did you decide to come here?" Something like that. Hello!? It is a swimming pool, I am either there to swim or to sun tan. And I was laying on the beach chair, isn't it obvious? Funny young boy. He kept saying something about lazy to go back NUS training so just come to TPY pool. I didn't bother to ask what training, but I think he hoped I asked. I have a "schedule" today. I must get back to JB before peak hours. I was glad he only came chat with me 10minutes before I am scheduled to leave. hehehe. I prefer to tan in my own peaceful world. Unless he is a matured, muscular guy. wahahahah. just kidding...

But seriously, is my face not attractive to matured guys??? sigh... I guess matured guys prefer matured, sexy ladies... sigh...

And seriously, again, all those who approached me in the past, were all very young guys. Never a matured man. Sooooooooo sad............. oh oh, got one lah, at least, my swimming instructor. But too bad, we're from different world kind of people. My exbfren is matured but I can't include him because he did not "approach" me. We know each other through diving.

Seems like I have a thing for instructors......... swimming, diving, wakeboarding... Jialat...

Photos gone

I went to Orchard on 23rd Dec. Even though I've worked here almost 5 years I have never went Orchard Road within one week from Christmas, as I don't really like the crowd and no one to go with.

This year I went with a girl friend, and we had fun watching the performances. I took some photos with my mobile phone. The lousy 2megapixel camera. Lousy though it is, at least I can take photos with it. However, the stupid software caused me to lose the all the photos I've taken. What the fuck.

I still have the videos I took. This video is the street performers from Japan. It's of very bad quality though, cos taken by my lousy mobile phone. But anyway, just listen to their music, very nice. I bought their CD, S$10. They are called Bonyari Band. One of them, second from left, looks exactly like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Very cute. haha.

Madagascar... when...

I am kind of bored at home. Nothing much to do. Read back the old posts in my own blog. Wow. It's been 4 years since I started this blog. It feels like only yesterday. Time flies, very scarily fast.

2 years ago I wrote about wanting to go Madagascar. I had thought, 2 years, should be enough for me to save up for a trip there. 2 years passed. I have nothing. NOTHING in my bank. Guess Madagascar will have to wait for me.
For how long, I have no idea.

Zouk's Mambo night

Went clubbing at Zouk yesterday (Xmas eve) with friends, it's been a longgggg time since I last went such place. It was very fun~! I had a great time with my friends~

This is the first time I went clubbing in Spore, it's so much nicer than JB~! No smoke, no "beng". JB's clubbing spots are filled with Ah Beng, I hate it.

I expect I'd get tired around 2am or so, since nowadays I get tired a lot faster than last time when shopping. Getting old. But yesterday I did not feel tired at all even at 3:30am. Nice~

It was mambo night yesterday, my generation songs~ Soooooooooo nice to listen to 80s/early 90s songs for the whole night~ Really really nice. Bring back memories. No wonder KR said I would love it.

I was actually very happy yesterday.

Michelle in Wonderland

What a great adventurous day it was! Today is the first day I experienced the journey to Johor’s new checkpoint, the CIQ. What an exciting day! It’s like Alice In The Wonderland!

We must thank our government for being so considerate~!

Firstly, the road to this new CIQ is a long, winding road. The distance from Singapore checkpoint to the new CIQ is about double the distance from Singapore checkpoint to the old Johor checkpoint. Plus it is uphill. If you must walk, which is a good thing to you, I must say, you will soon have a pair of very slim legs! How exciting! Our government is so considerate! They must have noticed we Johoreans have been working too hard, coming back and forth Singapore everyday. How on earth will these people find time to exercise to improve their health? Yes! A long winding, uphill road it is! Problem solved!

Secondly, there is no pedestrian walkway. The people in charge of the design of CIQ must have noticed how dangerous the traffic is in Malaysia. How to educate people be more careful to avoid serious accidents on the road? No pedestrian walkway! What else? Without proper walkway, people will definitely be more careful as they have to share the road with motorists and cars and buses. Aren’t they sweet? Aaww……

Thirdly, can’t you see? Our government is trying to instill the mindset of “patience is virtue” to us all. Wow, such caring government, what more could we ask for? The autogates in the CIQ is not the speed of what you would expect with the technology now. It is slow. Why? Because, my friend, “patience is virtue”. Remember that. A very important lesson our government trying to teach us! Besides, the building is very beautiful, we should take time to appreciate the work, the design of this wonderful building while we wait for our turn at the autogates~ AND, because of these autogates, many people are taking books and newspapers with them and read it while patiently waiting. Our government must have seen this coming! How clever! Just recently I read that only small percentage of Malaysians have the habit of reading. And there I was, waiting for my turn, people around me reading~ Wow, government’s foresight!

Fourth but not least, since we are striving to becoming the next developed country, we must have artistic culture as well. After we passed through the autogates, we have to walk about 8minutes, through here through there, to this floor to that floor, to get to the exit to City Square. No, no, it’s not far, it is a short distance for us to learn to appreciate the artistic aspect of this building, the grandness, the design. There’s a manmade waterfall too~ Oh and the neon lights! Marvellous! The distance really isn’t far. It is also another good chance for us to use our muscles~ Come on, don’t be lazy~ even after a hard day’s work, exercise is a must! It is also good for the elderly people, they need to exercise too! I think our elderly hardly need to walk such a long distance now that most of us have cars in our homes~ And what about the pregnant women? Well, they should walk more too, and it’ll be easier for them when they are in labour~ Just have to make sure that the escalators are always in good form~ Today one of the escalators wasn’t working but I’m sure it is just a one time thingy, right~?

I really learnt a lot today. And I have become more patient. I knock off at 5:40pm, I work in the East part of Singapore. Normally, I will reach my JB home around 8pm. Today I reached at 9pm. A whole hour late. And I didn’t throw tantrum! I didn’t “black face”! I must have learnt “patience is virtue”! Oh Barisan National, I love you~ I am a die-hard BN supporter you know. In the next election, there’ll still only be BN in my eyes! No one else can replace such considerate government!

Will I end up being caught under the ISA? But I am praising the government~! I am speaking the truth ~! And I SAID I will vote for BN~! BN I love you! Thank you for a wonderful adventure today~!

Frog prince fairy tale

I received an email about this fairy tale. I must say, this is one damn good fairy tale that should have been read to us when we were little. I super like this fairy tale. Fucking good!

Once upon a time
in a land far away,

a beautiful, independent,
self-assured princess

happened upon a frog as she sat
contemplating ecological issues
on the shores of an unpolluted pond
in a verdant meadow near her castle

The frog hopped into the princess' lap
and said : "Elegant Lady,
I was once a handsome prince,
until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.

ONe kiss from you, however,
and I will turn back
into the dapper, young prince that I am

and then, my sweet, we can marry

and set up housekeeping in your castle

with my mother,

where you can prepare my meals,

clean my clothes, bear my children,

and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."

That night,

as the princess dined sumptuously

on lightly sauteed frog legs

seasoned in white wine

and onion cream sauce,

she chuckled and thought to herself :

I don't fuckin think so.



Haha~! Ain't it nice??!

My email to magazine published!

So happy!! My email to Sports Diving magazine was published!! I wrote that, I think, at least half a year ago. I never thought it gets to be published eventually~ Although it's no big deal, I just wrote to ask about the species of a nudibranch which I capture its photos. (Click to see a bigger pic)

Previously I wrote to Discovery Channel magazine too~ Saying how much I like the magazine and it was published too~ that one was fast. I forgot to upload it here. That was the FIRST time I have things published in any magazine~ even if just a few lines~ And here it is, my SECOND~ ha~!!! I am sooooo thrilled!!

In this one, the nudibranch expert said "thank you for your extensive information". I think, I might have been too long winded describing the whole thing. hahaha.... well, doesn't matter as long as it's published~!

p.s. I read Dis Ch magazine while I pangsai (pass motion) in toilet, hehehehehe... and my eyes almost dropped off when I saw my name in the magazine. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.......

Melancholy, again

This is the worst time of my life after Gab's heart surgery. I want to cry everyday.

So many things caused me unhappy. Except for our new JB house.

I know I am a cry baby. And I might just be crying for nothing. I don't know. I am just unhappy.

I can cry any time, any where. Sometimes I cry too much and maybe I don't know what I'm crying about.

SG room moving thing, I think my Miko also unhappy. THis room is so hot. I am so worried that she might suffer heatstroke and die. My poor miko, she has a poor owner who cannot afford better for her. And I can't let her out for that long like I used to. I feel so guilty for that. I am so sad to see her laying there, waiting for me to let her out.. I hope she will be alright...

Plants and spiders!!

Ever see a corn plant? These are the flowers and the pollen. Did you know? The tread-like thing in a corn (not in pic), is actually the flowers (dunno male or female). And every "tread" has to be pollinated in order for every single "grain" to grow into corn. Not sure if anybody understand what I'm saying. ANyway... doesn't matter.
Just water droplets.
I don't know what peas are these.. My brother planted them.
Tzeng tzeng tzeng tzeng~~~~ a tiny tiny yellow spider! It'a about 1 or 1.5mm long only. I have to look very very closely to confirm it's a spider. My camera, of course, cannot focus on it because of its size and that it's hanging in mid air by extremely thin silk which cameras won't see. I had to first focus on something with similar distance and move the camera back on the spider. Result was not bad. It's so cute lah..

Another spider, with slimmer body and legs.

This spider has got white eyes and black in the center, just like those fake eyes... Kind of creepy really.

An unknow tiny grasshopper-like insect.

This, was a surprise. I thought it's a mosquito or what on my arm, almost slap it to death. Lucky I didn't. This spider looks like a tiny scorpion. Very very pretty.

Look~! It's looking at me~! I just love spiders' eyes. So cute. SOme got 4, some got 6 eyes, think there're some with 8 eyes.

I put it back to a plant.

Celebrity kitty

I finally bumped into the fat kitty when I have my camera with me. Previous photos were taken by handphone's camera and it's not clear.

This kitty, according to a China girl (you can see her hand in below picture), everybody takes photos of this kitty. Almost a celebrity already. Ha~~ so cute.
She just has to sit like this every morning. Spreading her legs wide apart and "tan" her tummy, I supposed. She's got huge stomach. Everybody who first saw her will think she's pregnant. But several months passed, she's still walking around with her fat tummy.
She just slumberly sit there while people pet her.
How adorable is that, huh?? :D

I am very happy I finally took photos of her. Because I am moving this Sunday. Won't be able to see her in the morning again... Bye bye kitty..

Honda Asimo

So happened that I went back JB on Thu. So happened that I wanted to buy a map. So happened that there was an event at City Square started on THu. Else I wouldn't have the chance to see Honda Asimo in action with my own eyes~!

It's soooo cute. Asimo can stand on one foot, can "dance" can most importantly, it can run~

I've never seen so many people at an event in City Square. Pretty cool.

SEe the video :

moved~ beaten~

We've finally moved! And I'm so beaten... shifted things from 8am till 10pm... My family and I were soooo tired. The sole of our feet hurt... I can't tell you how glad I am that I've been diligently visited the gym, because I've used so much energy and moved heavy things the whole day, yet the next day I didn't have muscle aches. Wo hO~!

My parents only have me and my brother. We didn't want to trouble others, so we handled everything other than the professional home movers. We used the lorry for 3 trips.. they thought 2 trips would be enough..

There are still SOOOO MUCH to do. But we've arranged most of the things the next day. Quite efficient we were. hehe..

And it's so strange. My bro and I measured my room's area many times including the distance from wall to window, wall to door, etc etc. Because I want to draw on one of the walls, I need to have an accurate measurement and arrange before hand where the furniture should be put. There were only a few ways I can arrange my desk and bed due to the room size. My prefered way of arrangement was out of the question because the furniture exceed the size by a couple of inches. My brother and I went measured again and concluded that it's not workable. But somehow after we put the existing bookshelf (the desk of 4feet size will come next week), the remaining space is more than 4 feet... which is contrary to our measurement before. So strange. But I'm happy~ This arrangement makes my room looks bigger. And my room~ I've got the constellation "Orion" on my wall~ hahaha~ so happy. Will post photo next week. No time to take photo today.

And about that puppy. I was shedding tears secretly when my parents insisted that I cannot bring the doggie to new house. After we've moved almost everything the puppy was still there. That image of the puppy remained there by herself etched on my mind already. I swore that I will never touch stray dogs again no matter how cute it looks if I cannot make the decision of whether or not to keep it. I already put too much emotion on the puppy in mere 2 days.

I let my brother to decide whether or not to keep the puppy. My parents objected of course, but the puppy is really pitiful... When we wanted to go back to the empty house to get my brother's plants, it was really hard for me, I told my bro I will cry if I see that puppy and can't take it home. He then said ok ok, we'll bring it home. Yay! But when we brought it home my parent made noise of course....

That puppy, officially named "Bella", nicknamed "Ben Ben" 笨苯 is quite clever despite the name I gave her, haha. We don't allow her to step into the living room. She wanted to follow me but I scolded her. She tried a few times but eventually she got the point I think. Also I think my dad scared her when she entered the living room and that made her think twice before stepping in again. But most puppies will try again and again and again, so.. I really think she's owned by someone before and was "taught" before. WHen I showered her, I didn't have a leash, but she didn't really run away and wasn't too afraid of water. My first dog hated to take shower.

I don't know if she's clever or just natural behaviour for her to pee and shit on earth/grass. I was worried that she'd poo anywhere including our cement floor (in old house we cover the earth with cement, so she poo anywhere is.. of cos.. wrong.). This morning I was so happy to see that she poo in the garden. I hope she does this everyday, else my parents are sure going to let her go.

Basically, she's quite obedient. We didn't have time to buy a leash. So we just let her run free. She didn't pester and cry to get in our living room, didn't cry at night when she was outside alone, when we were doing our things outside of living room, after a while she'll go sit at somewhere and sleep. Today she sat infront of the door, my mother wanted to go in and out tidying the place, and my mother yelled at her "好狗不挡路!" and immediately Ben Ben stood up and walked away. hahaha...

I hope she behaves. I pray that she behaves so that my mother doesn't let her go.

Just now because it seemed like it's going to heavy rain I didn't have time to say goodbye to Ben Ben. I'm annoyed.

Oh I can't wait to go back to my new home and new puppy~!!!

One day, comes a doggie

We're moving tomorrow. The night before yesterday, a doggie was resting in front of my house, under a big plant. She looked clean and I thought she's someone's pet and she'd probably return home the next day.

That night, it rained. The doggie was still under that big plant in the morning. So poor thing. So I brought it inside my house and wipe her dry a bit and gave her some food. She looked 笨苯... At first I named her Bella, since recently I read the Twilight novel and the main character's name "Bella" immediately came to my mind. Then because she's a bit 笨苯, I just call her 笨苯 instead. hahaa... She found herself a corner amongst the things we want to move and sleep there. She slept so soundly, poor baby. Must be tough for her to endure a night under a plant in the rain.

My brother and I went supermarket and I pestered my bro to buy her a packet of dog food. WHen we returned home I couldn't see her. I thought she had gone back home.

The next day, we moved the newspapers that we wanted to sell and we discovered her under that cabinet. hahahaha.... I fed her the food we bought yesterday and she looked more cheery and healthy. but stil a bit 笨苯 hahahaahaa...

I don't know if my parents would let us keep the dog. But I've put in my love onto the doggie.. will be very sad just let her go back to the streets...

Just when we're about to move, comes a doggie, must be fate!!

Tomorrow we're moving! Busy day!!

Happy yet sad

I found a room in Toa Payoh today. I am glad that I only have to view one room and liked it. I wanted a room near a gym and I got it! I am happy about this. but unhappy and sad about having to cough out about S$120 more for rent and transport.

I should have chosen Khatib one, the gym over there is 3 times the size of Toa Payoh one...I didn't notice this...

I think I have wayyyyy too many things. Can't fit in that common room... this master bedroom is at least 1/3 bigger than that common room... have to send some back to JB.. But I don't have much time... This weekend moving house in JB, next weekend cousin's wedding, then I have to move already. I thought I can enjoy this master bedroom until end of Dec... But new landlord of course not willing to wait.. sigh.. i'm left with less than 20days to enjoy this sweet little master bedroom.................................

And I am damn fucking broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paid off

Months of work out at the gym has paid off~ Yesterday me and family went to wash our new house. I spent so much energy scrubing the floors, this and that. My mother was stunned to see her petite daughter able to do so much work. haha.

I thought my arms will sore the next day as I really used a lot of force to scrub the floor, but it didn't~ Weight training at the gym really paid off~! But yesterday the bigger pail of water was too heavy for me. Caused strain on my back and waist. And today my back and waist feel sore. I will never dare to be so careless again. I think I tried to carry it too fast and abrupt, as it's so heavy. I should carry it slowly.

Wanted to go run today or do yoga. But my waist is a little annoying. I thought I better don't further strain my back. So I just relaxed today. I am just sooooo fat. Tomorrow must go jogging.

Changes changes changes

So many changes in my life recently. Doctor on tv said it's not good to have many things happen at the same time, it'll cause stress and possibly depression.

Well, things are beyond human's control all the time.

I am shifting house in JB next Sat. I've decided to end "it" recently. And then, my SG room landlord asked us to move by end of next month.

I was so shock and upset by that notice and I got stomachache for 2 days. Whenever I thought about it I wanna lao sao. I thought of the likelihood that my landlord will increase my rent but never thought he'll ask us to move...

I am really upset. Bcause the rent is so high now, I cannot afford any higher rent... well, can afford.. but will left with little money to use. And that's gonna take a big chunk of my salary... which makes me look really stupid to continue to work here where a large part of my salary goes to the rent. But the even sadder part is I have to stay in common room now... I have been staying in master bedroom for nearly 4 years. I am really really used stay in such convenient room as if I'm staying in a hotel. Sigh.. what to do. No money to stay in a master bedroom anymore..... Even for a common room I have to cough out more money.

Just when I was about to cheer up a little with my life. Just when I was getting a little out of the dark character that I've been in in years, this had to happen.

Why?

People always say, things happen for a reason. I don't believe that. But now I have to find a reason, an excuse, or whatever, of not being unhappy again. I was in denial. But now.. I guess, I should think, I should be grateful that I've stayed in a master bedroom at such cheap rent for nearly 4 years. I guess, by moving into a common room, makes ending "it" a little easier.

Feels a little better thinking like that...

On the other hand, my family will be shifting house (JB-my real house) this Saturday. I really like our new house, bigger land which we can plant more flowers and stuffs, and it's high up and windy. The colour of our house is a little unusual compare to the normal house. Because we used darker colour than what people usually use to paint our rooms and doors. I feel our house looks like a cartoon house. I love it :D

YongYong's wedding photo

Had not been updating my blog. Because I was busy doing my long time friend YY's wedding website.

I searched and learnt new Photoshop techniques while doing the website. It was fun. Tiring yes, as I tried to make it as fast as possible but fun. Most importantly, I am happy to be able to help my old time friend with her wedding.

All the best to Jacky and Yong Yong.

Here is their website : http://www.geocities.com/jackynyongyong

By the way, the website is free, so it's got limitation. Once the data file transfer is exceeded they website will be down. Just try again later.

As soon as I finished with YY's website, I am starting with another "project" - my cousin Nancy's wedding slideshow. I hope it'll turn out nice~

The "new tooth"

I seached internet about my "new tooth" that I discovered after I removed my wisdom tooth. There were not many info but I managed to find out that it's actually a bone that supports the wisdom tooth. Whew... but to be sure I've booked a time with my dentist today. She confirmed my finding, that it is just bone. I told her I was so afraid and I searched internet for it and she said "Huh? Wah, found on the net ah? very clever hor you". And she clapped her hand. hahahaha....

Today I've had 3 of my teeth filled. But one still a bit sore when I bite something hard, but there isn't any visible damage on the tooth... I don't know why.. Better take good care of our teeth.. I swear from now on I will visit dentist every half a year.

The last 3 months

This is the last 3 months before I end it. It's not the same anymore...

I will end it.

It has taken a long time... but I've tried my best. It wasn't easy...

What the FUCK?!!

What the fuck?! What the fuck?!!!!!

My gum, where I had my wisdom tooth extracted felt a bit weird for days. I didn't pay much attention to it. UNTIL TODAY, I used my finger to touch around there and
WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can feel a little tooth coming out of my gum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK??? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???? I read from internet that there are some people where they had all their wisdom tooth removed they had another set growing. BUT... my case is different, it is BEHIND my wisdom tooth!!! WHAT THE FUCK?????????????????????????

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was sooooooooooo happy I settled one wisdom tooth and now THIS??????????????? Totally spoilt my day! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Could it be my wisdom tooth broke apart before the extraction and this is the leftover? Quite impossible, the Dr would have noticed it. And it was not on the spot where the extraction was, it's slightly behind, and it feels smooth, exactly like a new tooth is coming out. And my gum has been feeling sore, I have the distance memory that this is how it felt like to have a new tooth coming out.

I want to check with my Doc. Today my Dr's slot is full, tomorrow not open. I've booked a time for next Saturday. Gosh... I guess I have to wait for it to grow bigger in order to have it extracted but there're no space to grow!!!! Then it must be surgery now........................WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I be ANYMORE unlucky??? HUH ?? HUH???!!!

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN!!!!!!!!

Hurtful

I am crying again, for no reason.

What? Who am I kidding? Of cos there is a reason.

Perhaps, I am trying, slowly, to distance myself emotionally from him. Slowly, there has not been as much things to talk to him like we did before. It hit me abruptly to realise this. It is not because of time, people will say "you're bored with him already". No. That's not correct. I had been deliberately, slowly, slowly trying to convince myself that he's not that wonderful, he is not that perfect. But that's hurtful. Not to him. But to myself because...

That's an insult to our past.

But what can I do..

Only if I can convince myself that there is someone better out there, can I have a chance of starting new.

But that's hurtful.

I thought I can live like this. But it seems like I can't... but I am afraid of what is going to happen, I am afraid of the future which my friends hope will happen to me.

What do I do..

Still a struggle

It is still a struggle, everyday. My heart is so confused. Part of me still want to go back, part of me wants to go on. Although I'm now more towards to moving on.. it is still hard, very hard.

I am scared of the future, of the possibility of a new beginning. Honestly, I have never been this afraid of a "normal thing". What would happen? What would happen.........................

I don't know if there's anyone out there who could have the slightest idea of what I am going through... Everyday is a struggle of decisions, of where my heart should head towards... And how hard it is to make these decisions. Easy if I follow my head, but the heart is trying to stop that. I don't need other people's understanding. But it's hard to go on by myself...

I still cry.. if only crying would make things easier.... if only crying would settle things...

Die!

We have a ladder in my JB house. It's outside of our living room but within our compound. We locked the ladder.

One morning, my dad woke up to find that the ladder was moved, as if someone tried to get the ladder out. And my dad's tailor chair, was moved to the side of my house. Meaning that person maybe tried to climb the roof with that chair.

Thankfully he didn't succeed.

I hope that thief fell somewhere and died.

The Noose

Have you been watching Channel 5's second season (is it second or third?) of The Noose? Starring Michelle Chong and er... I don't know the guys' names... It was so brilliant. Soooo funny. Too bad today is the last episode of the second season.

All of them, their impersonation of different characters, so funny and looked real. Michelle Chong sounded so convincing as Philipino maid, as bimbo, etc.. The other guys, spoke English with a French accent and another , Australian accent. Both of them were really convincing. It was sooo cute.

I look forward to the next season of The Noose~

Pig speaker-episode 2

Remember my pig speaker? I think it's a bit weird.

For 2 mornings, I woke up to find its eyes lit brightly. I remember very clearly I turned it off before I sleep.

Well, that is not unusual for cheap electronics. My colleagues always said our office is haunted as the old radio always on or off by itself. I believe it's mechanical faulty. As with my pig speaker.

Yesterday night, I came back at 10+pm. Unlike in the morning where the room is already brighten up by the sunlight, it was dark when I came back of course, I didn't have to turn on light before I leave my room. And here's what I saw when I entered my room :
To find 2 red eyes staring at me in the darkness. ahahahahahah.. scary right............................ It really gave me a fright.

Here's another shot with flash.
So yesterday night I turned off the battery before I sleep and even turned the pig face down, just in case. I don't want another shock : to find 2 lit red eyes staring at me even after I have turned off the battery~~!! hahahahahaha....

Scary day

My two wisdom teeth had decayed and filled for some time. Toothbrush just cant reach it no matter how I tried to push the toothbrush in. So, the 2 wisdom teeth have big holes... Hate it. One of them, kept chipping, until today, suddenly my mouth movement caused it to hurt. I thought of going to dentist to have it extracted on Sat.. but .. I think I can't wait anymore. Slight mouth movement caused it to hurt. So I took half day leave and went back JB to see my dentist.

My usual Dr didn't have a free slot so I asked for another Dr in the clinic. The female Dr was pretty, friendly and patient. I was soooooooo nervous when I went in. I asked the Dr, "Will it hurt?", "What if I faint?" hahaha.. She laughed and asked me just relax and she'll take care of everything. I was afraid of the pain when she injects the anaesthetic. But she said she'll use the "rub on" anaesthetic before she does the injection. So, it wasn't so bad.

But it's still uncomfortable.. because, force is needed to extract a tooth. She spent a little while pulling on my tooth. At first there was slight pain and I told her and she gave me another injection. Oh, the anaesthetic was so bitter, and because it's so near to the throat, it felt like my throat is swelling. The muscles there couldn't be controlled and I felt like I couldn't swallow. It felt like it's swollen and that I'm suffocating. It was quite scary.

I still can feel the tooth being pulled out , though no pain. But... it's still scary. I don't have MC. So still gotta work tomorrow. I'm ok with that. If she gives me MC, means she foresees that I will be in pain.

So far there's no swelling. Hope it remains this way tomorrow.

I still have another wisdom tooth to be extracted. Sigh. Hate teeth problem.

Anyway, I went to the dental clinic ain Holiday Plaza, Lim Dental Clinic. I recommend anyone to go there. The nurses and staffs are friendly too, no muka busuk. :)

Dinasaurs chased me!

I really am the dream queen~! hahaha..

The tv had been showing scenes from Jurassic Park 3 which were to be shown yesterday. I didn't watch the movie yesterday but I saw the scenes.

Yesterday I dreamt I was chased by HUGE dinosaurs, the first one was the T-REX, HUGE T-rex. It was very scary. There were other big and small dinosaurs too. I was chased inside a ship, inside buildings, and onto the streets.. The dream was very long. And I was really really tired after all the fleeing from dinosaurs. hahah...

Hope I get a better dream tonight ;)

Criminal in the making

I was shocked to read this news, really shocked. The boy is a criminal in the making, or should I say, a born criminal. UNBELIEVABLE. Poor lizards and other animals.... Minding their own business peacefully in the zoo and came this little devil and ended their lives. SHOCKING.

Quote from www.news.com.au:

Boy, 7, fed live zoo animals to crocodileBy Rebekah Cavanagh

Boy, 7, breaks into reptile farm
Feeds main exhibits to resident croc
Too young to be prosecuted


A SEVEN-year-old boy broke into a reptile farm and smiled as he fed 10 live reptiles, the farm's main exhibits, to the resident crocodile.

He also bludgeoned three lizards to death in their pens, The Northern Territory News reported.

Police cannot charge the boy because of his age.

Security camera video footage shows every move of the youngster's 35-minute rampage through the Alice Springs Reptile Centre just after 8am on Wednesday.

One CCTV image shows him with a big smile on his face as he watches the saltie splash around its pool as it attacks a northern blue tongue lizard.

Centre director Rex Neindorf said the behaviour was "disgusting''.

"I'm just devastated at the age of the child and the fact no one wants to take responsibility,'' he said.

"The fact a seven-year-old can wreak so much havoc in such a short time, let alone even think of doing something like this, is unbelievable."

Mr Neindorf said - a turtle, four western blue tongue lizards, two bearded dragons, two thorny devils and a 1.8m adult female Spencer's goanna - were thrown into the jaws of the 200kg crocodile named Terry.

Another three lizards - a blue tongue and two thorny devils -were found dead after being "brutally bludgeoned''.

Mr Neindorf said the boy was lucky he did not also become Terry's dinner.

"The croc could have easily taken him from the landing he was standing on,'' he said.

Police spoke to the boy and his mother yesterday but cannot press charges because he is too young.

Saviour dream

I pack my things on Thu nights, because I go back JB after Friday's work.

Last Thu night, I dreamt that I have forgotten to include my passport as I changed bag. I was aware in the dream, that I was dreaming (I always have that awareness in my dreams). Sounds impossible? But it's the truth. I was aware in the dream, that what I was dreaming was true : that I did not put my passport in the correct bag.

When I woke up, the first thing I do was to take my passport and put it in the correct bag. So, my dream saved me from a miserable day. Imagine the trouble if I left out my passport!

I am the dream queen. hahaah.

Control.. control..

I really hate cyclists who rides very fast in pedestrian walkway.

Last Friday I was walking towards IMM from Jurong MRT station. A man whom I believe to be of China nationality rode very past, there were a lot of people on the walkway.

I have to really control myself, very very hard, not to kick his bicycle when he zoomed by.

A wonderful day~ Cycling day~

At the age of 31, I finally can cycling!

Gabriel, my friend Winnie and I, we went to Ubin today. It had been raining for the whole last night, I thought today will sure be a sunny day. But it was cloudy in the morning and was still drizzling a bit. But I didn't care, I wanna try my luck. And so we went. Turned out, it's one fine day~

It was cloudy with tiny bits of sun, which was good, else I probably won't last that long.. It was very tiring to learn to ride a bicycle... HONESTLY, very tiring. I was panting the whole time. And the seat is totally uncomfortable. I mean, it's got cushion alright, but it pressed against my groin area.. causing my groin area to hurt like hell!! It hurts when I sit, it even hurts when I walk... Perhaps because I hold the bike very tightly, and I leaned forward. It is really really painful... And my arms are aching too.... I wore my gym gloves, thankfully I brought them even though I think I won't be needing it. Gab knows everything, and he told me to bring the gloves. See my hands are redden.

And I started to ride on my own without help after 1 hour 10minutes~!! I am so proud of myself. hahahaha. Because I thought I will be too kiasi and won't be able to learn. I didn't time it, Gab time it for me. He always think of everything. He also brought me the helmet.

Too bad I didn't ask him to record video when I was learning... I only took out the camera after I can ride by myself. I am still not stable but I am happy with the result today~!! I look funny... because I'm short, I have to adjust the seat to the lowest level but that means my knees have to bend all the way in order to cycle. heehee...



Then after that we went have lunch at one of the shops. Delicious black pepper crab~~ yummy yummy~

THen Gab and I went work out at gym for a while. It wasn't sunny after gym, but we still went to the pool which is just beside the gym. Even just sleep on the beach chair without much sun (for tanning) is a good thing to do. But who knows, the sun gotten quite strong after a while. And now my face is redden with a bit sunburn. I miss this sunburn face. haha... My face has been fair for too long. But then, my face will become fair again in a few days. Sian, I'd like my face to stay this way.

Great day isn't it? No sun when I was learning hard how to cycle, we sweat like siao even when there's no sun. Then when we went suntanning, the sun came out. One fine day indeed!! HAPPY!!

Vampire love story

I have been reading about Stephenie Meyer's vampire love story series. I mentioned to my brother I wanted to bring a book along when we wait for my mum's eye surgery. And he bought a new book for me, Twilight. He said it is one of the best sellers now. He said it's about vampires. Oh GOOD~ I love vampire love stories. It's so romantic loh. hehe.

I liked the first book from its series of 4, Twilight. I fell in love with the vampire too, who wouldn't? haha..

Then I said I want to read the rest of books in the series and my bro bought them for me. The second book New Moon, was .. "ok"... Not very good, not too bad. Just , so so... What I can remember from the second book was only, that the main female character Bella (18yrs old), keep repeating how good how nice how attractive her vampire boyfriend Edward is, over and over again. It sounded as if Bella is 40yrs old and this is her first time in love and can't help drooling over the boyfriend.

The 3rd book Eclipse got worse. Bella suddenly was "in love" with her werewolf friend Jacob and still claiming she loves Edward more. It was very unnatural how the story had developed. Anybody could have written a story like that. It makes no sense. And the book is conversations over conversations, bickerings over bickerings between Bella and Edward, Bella and Jacob. It was really boring. I came to a point where I just scanned through the paragraphs.

I am surprised I am able to finish this book so fast. I guess I just want to get it over with.

I still have the forth book to go. With Bella "scheduled" to get married with Edward and becoming a vampire herself. I hope it will not bore me as much as the 3rd book.

Why do cockroaches die on their back?

Has it ever occur to you that, why do cockroaches die on their back? It's funny isn't it? Can't they just crawl crawl crawl, breathe in some insecticide and then just die crawling halfway, on their tummy?

Naturally, I went and ask "God". My God always have some answers ready for me.

It turns out that one of the reasons is, in our homes, cockcroaches usually die of insecticide. Insecticides are nerve poison. It causes muscular spasms which often result in the cockroach flipping on its back. Without muscular coordination the cockroach cannot right itself and eventually dies in its upside down-position.

So that's it.

There are other questions and answers about cockroach from this website http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/kunkel/cockroach_faq.html.

One interesting question was asked? What are cockroaches good for?
The answer is :
Fear of domestic cockroach pests is perhaps warranted because they have been associated with the development of childhood asthma and thus it is better not to have them in your home environment.Cockroaches as a group are part of the worldwide food web. They are omnivore scavengers which clean up our environment and help recycle the organic litter that would accumulate if it were not decomposed by organisms which include cockroaches. Furthermore they serve as food for small mammals, birds, amphibians and lizards. There are over 3000 species of cockroaches and only 10 species are on the World Health Organization list of human pests. The other 3000 species are welcome members of the biodiversity on this planet.

And some people might secrete a particular hormone due to genetic anomaly that will attract cockroaches to you..."Interesting"...

Hallucination

I am sooooo sleepy at work that I am starting to hallucinate.

I swear I see the partition in front of me "breathed"...

Candle in the darkness


A candle light surrounded by darkness,
reflecting a lone self in the masses.
But my thought is not as distinct,
as the candle that is lit.

Flickering light,
undecided mind.
The harder I try to think,
deeper into confusion I drift.

It hurts to stay on,
it hurts to let go.
Candle in the darkness,
Will you bring me into brightness?

苹果道理

这个周末,我会去刁曼岛潜水。和往常不一样,我并没有很兴奋。不知道为什么,最近,做什么都提不起劲。连我最爱的潜水也没能让我快乐起来。活得就像行尸走肉一样。只是例常的工作,例常的上网,例常的运动。

没有什么事是值得开心的。我们要搬家了。我不太理会搬家的事宜。因为我所要的,都跟钱离不开关系。我没有钱,整个家都是哥哥在撑着。靠他一个人很多东西目前都不够钱做。说不失望是假的。穷人家的孩子就是渴望很多东西。我没有埋怨父母的意思,他们已经尽量满足我们。只是感叹,这个世界什么都是钱,活得很累。也很遗憾,自己不如人家的孩子那么本事,赚很多钱,遗憾自己没办法让父母有更多的享受。

你会说,不必去羡慕别人。可我不是神仙。我不会拿我自己和Bill Gates 比。 但我也不会拿我自己和命运比我坎坷的乞丐比来安慰自己。人要懂得满足,可是那是一件很难的事。我承认,我做不到。你不是我,你不会了解。当你天天都吃苹果,去跟一个没有吃过苹果的穷人说“苹果很普通,没什么特别,不必羡慕我。”你觉得会怎样呢?穷人当然还是会羡慕,会想吃苹果。那也只是人之常情,不是吗?一个天天有苹果吃的人,是不会了解一个没有吃过苹果的人对苹果的渴望的。所以请不要对我说“苹果没什么特别”的大道理。

Mid Autumn Festival

I had not been at home for many years for mid autumn festival. This year, because tomorrow I'm sending my mum for an eye surgery, so I'm still in JB. My mum cooked some dishes and asked my aunt and grandmother to come and have dinner. My aunt said she's got lanterns, so I asked her to bring some over. I had not touched lanterns for .. at least 15 years.

My aunt was eager to light up the lanterns before the sky gets dark.. haha...
Had to take out my tripod to take more acceptable photos.
It was raining in the late afternoon. It just stopped when we lit the lanterns. And the sky was full of clouds.
Yellow colour lantern was pretty.

My grandma, father, mother and brother. My dad was only "half". Because it was dark and I can't see well in the camera's LCD what I am pointing at.

Today feels like CNY.

I hope I will have a happier mid autumn festival next year. But, unlikely.

Sickening act

I read this from BBC news. SICKENING. TOTALLY SICKENING. Cruel, stupid cowards. I don't understand the youngsters nowadays. Treating another living animal in such unforgivable way and think it is funny. I wish they go to hell.

Quote and picture from BBC News
Animal welfare authorities in Australia are searching for a boy filmed knocking a kangaroo to the ground.

In the video, which was posted online, the boy is shown punching and kicking the apparently dazed kangaroo, as his friend laughs from behind the camera.

It is unclear whether the attack resulted in the death of the animal.

Appealing to media outlets to publicise the attack, the RSPCA said they wanted the culprits to be "caught, charged and prosecuted".


The film of the attack was sent to the RSPCA in the state of Western Australia.

In it, the boy is shown aiming kick-boxing-style kicks at the kangaroo, then pulling it towards him so he can knee it in the chest.

The final aggressive punch sends the kangaroo to the ground, unconscious or dead.

Wildlife experts said the kangaroo appeared stunned, and had possibly just been hit by a car.

They said ordinarily kangaroos would have fled in the face of such an attack.

'Sickening'

The RSPCA said the vicious nature of the attack had prompted it to launch a nationwide search for the two boys.

"We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the cowards behind the vicious attack on this kangaroo," RSPCA Queensland spokesman Michael Beatty said.

"Thankfully this sickening footage has now been removed from the website where it was first seen.

"The next stage is to ensure that those responsible for this film are brought to justice.

"Only a coward would attack an injured and obviously terrified young animal much smaller than himself.

"We want these cowards to be caught, charged and prosecuted."

Best brother on earth

I think, I probably have the best brother on earth. My friends always say to me "Can we change brothers?" hahaha...

Some time back my brother and I saw a very very nice dolphin printed er.. 门帘(sorry, dont know what that's call in English..) one day, at a stall in Giant Plentong, but it cost a whopping RM80!! Just for a piece of cloth and a steel stick to hang it on the door. I walked here and there, considering whether to buy it for my room in the new house... In the end, I deemed it overly expensive for a piece of cloth, even though it's printed with my favourite dolphin graphic...

Then my brother saw the same thing at pasar malam, it was selling at RM30! He bought it. ANd he wait till i went toilet poopoo and hang it on the door. And after I done poopoo, I saw this :

WAHHHHHH... sooooooooooo nice loh. kekeke.... I am going to draw dolphins on the wall. And I have wooden plate in the shape of a dolphin, bought by my brother, to be hang on the door. hehe.. dolphin fanatic.

I said I wanna eat 煎roti for breakfast and my brother cooked for me. :D

I am very 幸福 while I remained at home and have my family. My favourite favourite moment at home, is to wake up hugging my Brownie :D Sooooo 幸福 to wake up to a soft soft doggie~ I have to give my doggie a kiss before I actually get up from the bed.

Btw, I still haven't bath Brownie for once. kekeke...
