Ghost Whisperer...

is SOOOO good!!!!

im very impressed with the scriptwriters and jennifer love hewitt. she played her character so well that i really believe she is melinda gordon. her acting skills are wonderful.

for starters, melinda (played by jennifer love) owns an antique store and her gift is that she can see earth-bound spirits. these spirits, often confused and dun remember who they were or what happened to them, go to melinda for help. but most of the time, they dont talk nicely to melinda, they often show up looking scary and eerie, and they'll do things like appear outta the mirror with bloody hands n all... supposedly to drop melinda some hints or sth. and what melinda does is to help them with unresolved issues, so that the spirits can get peace and 'cross over into the light'.

that's some background info... this certain episode in season 3 really blew my mind. ok, it begins with melinda n her hubby jim enjoying an outdoor movie thing when a drunk guy passes out in front of them. jim's a paramedic so he went to help him. and melinda sees a lady standing by (a spirit obviously). this lady tells melinda that "he should know", and den asked her to give that drunk guy a stalk of orange flower. ok, at this moment, i tot it be some romantic guy who gets wasted bcos he just lost his wife or sth. BUT when that guy saw that flower, he was shocked. den it was revealed that this lady had been stalking him! *woah*. n it seems like she's stalking him too even when she's dead. *double woah!*

melinda felt sorry for that guy shane, bcos the ghost seemed pretty much psychotic... she went to that gal's apartment, hoping to find her and help her cross over. AND THATS where she finds a letter, stating the girl colleen, had filed for restraining orders against that guy!! shane is the real stalker!! *triple woah*. and den we start to see this guy stalking melinda. the police couldn't do anythin bcos he is a lawyer and he knows his way around the law. anyway, he's labelled a "predator" or sth in the category of stalkers (wow, there are different categories of stalkers!). he isolates his victim, so that there is no one else but him, who's by the victim's side. he does this by manipulation, causing mental harm to the victim's friends n families etc..

anyway colleen is haunting shane bcos she said "he should know how i felt", and she's like stalking him lah. but shane is like so nonchalent, sensing her ghost is around, he sneers at her. he's so creepy!! with all the fabricated stories and his fantasies. i tink he has 妄想症 or sth, super delusional. melinda decides that enough is enough, and she gets colleen to help her in bringing that guy down. bcos the ghost can see watever the guy's doin, melinda is able to get computer passwords n evidence and she spreads this around his office (so that he'll have no one left to be there for him) and finally the police are able to press charges. YAY!

but here's the fantastic part. while i tot everything's done n over, we see melinda goin to the basement of her antique shop to fix the lights (every haunting in hollywood movies has sth to do with basements eh? LOL), and then the guy is sitting there, like waiting for her! just this instant, her phone rings. the following conversation gave me goosebumps.

shane: miss me?
melinda to shane: this is my husband calling
shane: like i care
jim on the phone: melinda, your're not gonna believe this but....
melinda: shane's dead right?
jim: yeah, pills booze... we just got the call. wait, how did u know?
melinda: because he's right here.

OOOOoohhhh i love the expression on jennifer love's face. she delivered the line so well, "because he's right here?" its like *4x woah!!*

and den shane gets up and says "this worked out the best, dont u think? now we can be together. forever."

OOoohhhh goosebumps!! man i LOVE ghost whisperer!!!

its so cooling at night!

ok, my room temperature is 26.5 degree celcius!!! its been so cooling these few days man! i love it!! i havent on my fan for some time, saved quite abit of electric bills, hehe!! and by the way, my house does not have aircon, and we can still live comfortably. and these few weeks have been so cooling at night, that i use my blanket. my feet feels cold rather easily. so yes, no aircon, didnt on the fan, and i still use blanket. tats how cooling it's been. hee.

speaking of aircon, im reminded of sth... tat time i went holland, i asked a friend whether she wants to go along. (cos i tink SIA had a "4 to go" promotion for flights to amsterdam, so my mom asked me to jio a friend, to make up the numbers, haha) anyway, i told my friend that i have a spare room, so she does not need to worry abt accomodation. and the 1st thing she asked me was "got aircon not?" when i heard tat response, in my mind i was like "what????" with lotsa exclamation marks too. how pampered is this girl??? i mean, i tot she'll be concerned with being paisay for 'intruding' etc. but the 1st thing's on her mind is AIRCON??? did she not know anythin abt temperature differences between tropical and temperate zones? i'm sorry but she seems so 孤陋寡闻. anyway, tryin not to sound like she's an idiot, i went "we have heater. we'll be in holland, located in europe. 冷死 already still want aircon??"

ok in the end, due to... i duno, her parents' objection to her travellin to holland? or some other reason i forgot, anyway, i should be glad she didnt go with me. otherwise i'll be so pissed with her all-time pampered attitude n stuff like that.

i got my 2nd baby-G!!

ok. please don't assume i spend $$ like tap water running. my 1st baby-G watch, i got it in primary 4 or 5. it was a present from my mom. it wasnt my bday or anythin, so that time i tot, WAH, so good got present!! den later i found out, its cos she's taking my brother to holiday in hongkong. PAH!! i remember she bought me several cassette tapes (like "now that's wat i call music", yah.. haha) and when she left for airport, she told me i should behave myself, listen to grandma, admire my watch and listen to the songs. hahahahha...

anyway, 14 years later, i bought my 2nd baby-G watch. i still wear my 1st one now n den, it used to be blue n white. now its blue n yellow. hahahah!! 14 years liao leh, white of cos turn yellow lah. but i still wear it, and very much treasure it.

i LOVE the new watch!!!!! i've been wanting to get it since i saw it in the magazines. i wasn't actually crazy abt getting a watch. baby-Gs are expensive!! i mean, most of my watches are the pasar malam $10 kind. eh, can tell time can liao wat, rite? anyway, i wanted to get it because its SHE's special limited edition! i tink the magazine was oct or nov issue. it said it will arrive in dec. wah lau, i was so scared that it will be sold out or wat leh. hahahah...

den on friday (err... 7th dec?) i checked out the casio counter at Tang's. WOW! its on display!! its finally arrived!! i faster 二话不说 ask the sales person to let me try. and after like 10 secs, i said "ok ill get it, could u give me a new piece?" LOL. ppl who know me, should know that when i go shopping, i usually wont buy anythin, or that ill tink for a LONG time. haha. den the sales person searched her drawers, here there everywhere. den she said "sorry, i cannot find where the pieces are, we're very messy now (points to the mountain of empty watch boxes on the floor). could u come back 45mins later?" hmmm... i duno whether to laugh or cry. eh, its christmas shopping period leh. and peak hour! how can do stock check or some other clearin things, and den tell ur customers to come back like an hour later? tsk tsk.. shakes head.

and so, i went to takashimaya. the sales person there more friendly and helpful. i also 二话不说 pointed to the one i wanted and told her i wan a new piece. hahahahha... YAY!!!! finally got my hebe watch. hahahahahha

Hebe's edition is the pink one. luckily hers is the kind that i like. cos ella's is all black, and digital, very man (obviously, hehe) and selina's edition also nice n pink, but its round face... since my 1st baby-G is round face, i'd prefer sth different. so its very 刚刚好 that hebe's is rectangular. hehehehe!!

in love with this song

i heard this song on an episode of Ghost Whisperer (yes, i LOVE this series, its so cool!)... and i really think its a great song. i googled it and found out its by a band call Midnight Hour.. never heard of this band before... nonetheless, its such a good song! *sings* "i'm running away.... i'm leaving this place..."

oh yah, also in love with avril lavigne's Nobody's Home. i love the chorus. sometimes when i just wan to let go and 发泄, i'd blast this song and sing (scream) along. in my room. hahahaha!!

ps: my toe nails are painted purple. PURPLE! some guy friend commented "why ur nails black black?" in a 嘲笑 tone. damn it, i should have told him "yes, because i got poisoned by a vampire, im decaying"

liverpool still in champions league!!!

just finished watching the game. liverpool won 4-1 over porto, which means pool still got chance to go thru the next stage! YAY! wah, the game was really exciting... got heart attack everytime porto tries a shot at goal. den nearly died when porto equalised after torres' header goal. i tot, wah die, pool are gonna be out liao. somemore the news that marseille equalised besiktas in another match in the same group, really thought that liverpool no chance liao. cos if like tat, porto and marseille will progress.

BUT! really hats off to my fernando torres. he's my hero!!! his 2nd goal was, OMG, superb. he's really fast and so skillful! woo hoo!! i gotta give credits to kewell too, it was his timely pass that led to torres' 2nd goal. i was glad he came on the pitch in the mid 2nd half. and better things are coming when crouch came on. I KNEW he will definitely score a header if got nice crosses. den pool got a penalty, when a porto player blatantly handled the ball in the box. PAH! u think referree cannot see meh? gerrard stepped up to take the penalty. no need to say, the ball ended at the back of the net. WOO HOO!! we're 3-1 up!!!

and damn i was right abt crouch getting a goal with his head. so in the end, pool won 4-1. 总算没白费 my efforts to stay up for this match. it was not a boring match, the game was really quick n pacey. both teams were fast in their counter attacks etc. woah. and wat even more exciting, besiktas won marseille!! hahahahaha.. but even so, liverpool still have to win the last match against marseille, anythin less than that, pool may be out. unless porto lose the last match. so fingers crossed!

twisties: chipsters

hmmm... i tried the Hot n Spicy one, and its damn nice!!! considering i'm a chips lover, and very particular abt them, chipster is up to my standards loh! i dun really like pringles. for some reason, they taste really manufactured n so uniformed til its so unnatural. so i dun like. hahaha.

with the normal packet, chipster is a tad expensive compared to calbee and jack n jill.
the big pack one costs $3.20 at 160g, while ruffles' and lays costs $3.30 at 180g....

but chipster tastes really GOOD!

yummy yummy

i love 1st person shooting games!

LOL.

i used to think games like counter strike, are silly and not my type. but i've since change my opinion of 1st person shooting games. i played, together with my brother, Spec Ops on playstation coupla years ago. really got a sense of achievement when the whole mission is completed. hahaha. and it was really fun to partner with my brother to beat the enemies.

den my bro gave me his PS, n i played Syphon Filter on it (a year ago or so). i even got to complete the whole game! it was so cool, cos its the 1st ever game on PS that i completed before my brother did. hahaha.

.

ever since, i tried to find similar games to play, but mostly, i played them only for a while, bcos the gameplay not smooth, or i didnt like the movement n the controls stuff, not user friendly..

den i bot my DS, so havent touched the PS in a long time. except when i play PS2 with my brother (yesterday i won him 4-2 using my liverpool against his arsenal, and he couldnt believe the scoreline.. hahaha). and for DS, i thought there wont be shooting games. cos DS games are usually the cooking mama type. hahaha.

BUT!! out came Call of Duty 4!! woo hoo!! its good!! really good!! i like the controls, movement is smooth, aiming relatively easy to handle. I LOVE THIS GAME! my only complaint is, its too short. i got so impressed that i started searching for similar games on DS. and i found Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, its less user friendly than CoD4, but still a good game. i hate games that require me to run around too much. like castlevania, i get stuck easily, cos duno where to go, cannot find way out. so both Call of Duty n Goldeneye are great games to me.

斗牛，要不要

I WAN TO WATCH THIS!!

i mentioned in my previous entry, that this is the one taiwanese drama that i die die must find time to watch. why? because its got 贺军翔 and hebe!! and its finally gonna show soon!!!

just look at that face. ok maybe the hair here looks weird. LOL. but that face, OMG, so good looking!! very handsome features he has. 贺军翔，woo-hoo!

oh yah, i love the song 特务J. awesome song by jolin.

there can be miracles... when u believe

大吉大利！

ok i havent got a chance to upload the photos onto my laptop yet, when i do, i will post some pictures here.

anyway, remember i said that i didnt really felt like going away? should have trusted my instints/guts/6th sense man! the friend who jioed me (lets just call him John) and i were sitting in a citroen, driven by John's friend. got another 2 cars along, one's civic 2.0 and another is civic type-r (wah lau, tat car is so chio! white one somemore) we reached into msia abt 5am.. after breakfast abt 7++am, we drove into the highway.. abt only an hour later, accident happened liao.

wah lau, the driver. 3 words to describe him. CANNOT MAKE IT. instead of driving seriously and focused. he kept making stupid jokes, fiddling with his GPS n watnot. i sitting in the back seat totally 看不下去. the normal civic was very fast. we were in 2nd, but of cos the type-r behind wanted to chiong forward lah, so we drop back to last. i tink tats when our car the driver start to panic. cos he very anxious to catch up. my friend John was sittin in front with the driver, i duno if he got constantly remind the driver some safety issues not, cos he was making turns at 130km/hr! crazy! not performing drifting leh, he tinks he takumi is it? also not racing wat! and oh man, u should have seen the way he overtake cars. there are ALOT to consider when u wan to overtake a car or slow truck in front. u have to see far, make sure there's no oncoming car, judge the distance, be familar with ur car's performance, and be sure den can over take ONE car at a time. but sometimes, cannot see the road far he also overtake. i was sitting behind 冒冷汗！squeezed my eyes shut somemore.

when i opened my eyes, the car was losing control liao, swerving left and right on... (get this) the incoming lane!! next thing i knew, we were chiong-ing towards the hill at the right side of the road. i felt the impact of the crash and the car flipped coupla times!! i was ducking down and was trying to protect my head with my hands. cos i know i cannot injure my head no matter wat. anyway, the car came to a stop. i knew i didnt suffer any cuts or crushed bones, no bleeding either. i also didnt knock my head. the burning smell of the metal was awful. was so scared the car will explode anytime, i quickly got out of the car and stood one side, and wait for the other 2 cars (our companions lah) to return. when i saw the condition of the car, so shocked man! the windscreen totally smashed. the front, bonnet, bumper and boot all gone case. even our luggage/bags were flung like 10metres away or sth.

our companions finally came liao, they were also shocked, cos they at first tot we minor accident, or quarrelling with another driver or sth. they were relieved to see 3 of us standing at the side of the road. den after that, i sat in the type-r throughout while waiting for the tow truck to come. many cars slowed down, cos very shocked at the crashed car, or they tryin to take down the car number for 4D, but sorry to disappoint, the car plate duno fly where. some stopped to see if help is needed, they all tot must be fatal accident can.

- these were taken by me, while i was sitting in the type R, waiting for the tow truck ppl to come. remember the car was chiong-ing towards the hill? notice the car is facing outwards now? u can imagine how many times it flipped.

- the guys were examining wats left of the car parts. driver not pictured lah. he went away to make police report.

- i only "panicked" when i got out of the car. why? bcos there were ALOT of red ants! huge ones! one climbed to my face man! was frantically tryin to brush them off. maybe we disturbed a red ants' nest nearby, or we landed directly onto one. hmm...

- u see the back the boot area? totally wrecked. i duno how man. i tot should be the front tats damaged. the back? how? unless at one point the car was vertical... (??). den i was afraid some metal pole or sharp scrap from the boot, would pierce thru the back seat and... *shudders*

now when i tink back, it was really scary. altho i only suffered strained neck (bcos i ducked down too suddenly), no visible injuries or glass cuts (thank god), i still tink it was quite horrifying. and i tink i was very heng too. for several lucky reasons:

1) luckily, when we strayed off the road and lost control, there was no car in front or behind. there was also no oncoming car. the whole stretch of road was empty. if not, imagine if crash onto an incoming car also travelling at 130km/hr... *shudders*

2) luckily, we crashed onto the hill, which has branches, grass n soil. imagine its hard rock hill, or even worse, downhill slope! wah, duno will roll down to where. *shudders*

3) luckily, i wore seat belt. ok guys, always wear seat belt at all times, even if you're a back seat passenger. dun tink only the front ppl need seat belt. bcos if sth happens, what makes u tink u wont fly or be flung if u sittin at the back eh? u need the same protection as the front passengers. imagine if i didnt wear seat belt, duno where ill fly to man. and my head will surely be injured badly. *shudders* my trusty sling pouch was beside me in the car, and i found it 7 metres away from the car. i keep wondering how it flew outta the car.

4) luckily, nothin happened to the engine. no explosion no fire or wat. i remember on the way towards the hill, i didnt scream or panic. i was very calm. buang liao, even managed to remove seat belt and slowly 自己开门出去.

5) luckily, when the car finally came to a stop after flips n turns, it was upright. wah, imagine the car was upside down, it will be difficult to get out. i remember the seatbelt was really tight, my butt didnt leave the seat an inch when the car was flipping over in the air. so if upside down, once remove safety belt den will fall back down due to gravity, and my head will probably knock the floor (err.. the roof of the car lah) liao. den will have to slowly crawl out of the car.

6) luckily, i only suffered neck strain, which i recovered 3 days later. wah, the next day, my neck hurt like hell! and i applied alot of tiger balm. thankfully my neck muscles very 争气, recover fast. the couple in the civic type-r was saying luckily im super young (to them lah), haha. i remember tinking (when the car was swervin left n right) 'no crushed bones, no blood, please!!'... so really thank goodness

7) luckily, nothin happened to my bags n pouch. even tho they were flung far away. my hp, my DS, my mp3 player, all ok. wah! i remembered sth, i was playing my DS in the car leh. den i got a feelin tat i shouldn't play, tat i should be holding onto the thing for u to grab at the side door. wah, heng man, otherwise my DS sure gone case.

the rest of the journey, i sat on the type-r. i love tat car! it was one of my dream cars to get. practical one lah, cannot expect me to buy porche or ferrari in singapore rite? and the driver was more 稳重 and safer too, at least he will slow down when doing turns. straight roads he chiong and chiong safely one, the max he went was 225km/hr. the engine roar, damn shiok. but of cos, at first still got a bit phobia when at turns lah (cos the accident happened when tat stupid driver speeding at a turn), but after some time, i felt this driver really careful and i felt safe. somemore got his gf beside him to keep him in check, remind him to go slow etc. haha. i got so comfortable i slept alot. hahaha. the car was a roadster, so obviously, it was real bumpy, cos ur supposed to FEEL the road. so bumpy and i still can sleep! lol.

anyway, next time, i should just trust my instints. if 有不祥预感 den just trust myself. luckily nothing happens to me. if not, i duno how will John explain to my parents. bcos he was the one who kinda "forced" me to go (he said "no choice, cannot find another person to go"). and the driver? kaoz. he's gonna get a 1 to 1 car replacement (insured under AIG 1st year mah) loh.. he went back singapore immediately (while the rest of us continued with the trip) to settle the car stuff. he was, apparantly, kek sim (heart pain) abt his car parts. tink he paid quite alot for the modifications n watnot. kek sim my ass! he should be thankful nothing happens to his passengers! sheesh. btw, i heard he's test driving new cars. wtf.

i tink i wont be talkin to John for a long time. and i hope i wont see that driver friend of his for the rest of my life too. hmm.. wait, maybe i should demand some compensation from him first, for his reckless driving n behaviour, that could have gotten me killed.

so the 成语： 吉人天相，死里逃生... can be used to describe my experience. very 贴切

will be away...

going to penang/cameron highlands over the weekend. i was kinda "forced" to go... hmm.. more like no choice have to go kind lah. sigh... anyway, i will be back monday...

BY THE WAY, liverpool won 8-0 over besiktas! i got a shock when i saw the cover on the newpaper earlier in the day.. hahahahah... tats a really crazy scoreline for a champions league game.. siao one. not that i'm complaining, because at least pool won! hehehe

finally done with this HK drama..

it took me a long time to finish this drama... cos i didnt have time to watch my dvds these months. hahaha. this drama plot-wise is ok.. the evil characters are really evil, want to give them a slap loh. lol. there were a few twists here n there, like someone is actually someone's illegitimate child, den another someone turns out to be from FBI.. a sweetie pie is really an evil n horrible woman etc.
.

but to me, the biggest surprise was this particular character, all the while i thought was the only good person in the family, the only one who would know who's wrong/right, and who is willing to punish his bratty son when others keep protecting n covering up the spoilt kid's ass (wah, this good for nothing son, sarcastic mouth n kiam pah face, bth!)... but turns out this "good" person is the biggest baddie! i should have seen it coming, but i didnt, until it was revealed towards the end. so was quite impressed with the script writers in this case. haha.

.

now i'm watching "fathers and sons".. its got all the actors/actresses i like. bobby au-yeung, tavia yeung, wong hei, yoyo mung. really good acting they have, can play any kinda role, and tavia's hot! hahaha.

.

ps: i have spacings btwn paragraphs, but its not shown when i publish it. ALAMAK!! problem again. thats why i have dots in between, so that the spacings wll come out. sigh!!

now playing...

Drawn to Life: i only just started to play this, like 15 minutes yesterday. its quite interesting, cos need to do drawings.. hahaha

Tiger Woods: i love this game!! i managed to upgrade my equipment to full, now all my stats are all 25/25, i'm better than tiger woods' character in the game! hahahaha.. and so far i've won $2 million, won some challenges and i've 5 PGA titles. its so fun!! almost got heart attack when i got my birdie streak trophy ball. birdie streak is 6x birdies in a row, thats so difficult to achieve loh, so can understand my excitement. the only 3 trophy balls i didnt get are: Albatross (tats 3-under par, which means must finish a 5-par hole by using only 2 strokes, so difficult loh! i get eagles i happy already), Hole-In-One (siao, how can hole in one? i do a one-on-par-4 green is very good liao) and Back-To-Back Eagles. these 3 trophy balls so hard to get.

Now i'm playing CSI: Dark Motives. i played the 1st installation of this game on PC before. i played it when i was in my cousin's place in holland, hahaha, the PC version was quite fun. so now i'm playing the... err.. 2nd or 3rd sequel to the CSI game series. "dark motives"... hhmmm sounds interesting already. hehehe!!

old singapore dramas...

recently, i've been tryin to tink and search for old dramas that were nice, i watched alot of dramas when i was young (like kindergarten and primary sch) while under the care of my grannie, bcos my mom was in holland, hahaha. so i remember watching shows like 金牌师爷，昆仑奴，飞跃巅峰，早安老师，爸爸怕怕，奇缘，迷离夜 (wah lau, who can forget the theme song? the intro music already creeps me up, hahaha) and many others, i cant recall the titles.

yah, last time 古装 period drama quite hot and actually quite nice to watch. my favourite was 最后一个大侠！haha i tink til now i can still remember the plot, and the memorable "arms-extension-kungfu" and the bad guy's Purple Evil stroke. chew chor meng's good buddy, under the misguidance of his evil master, learnt the purple kung fu and 走火入魔 and become the new 紫罗刹 (or sth, haha). i love that show so much, i can still remember the theme song, “为什么武林高手都要做天下第一...” and the chorus is like “为什么？为什么？” hahaha.. its a pity that singapore dun produce 古装片 anymore, last time such dramas were really nice leh..

i really like 陈秀环! i like shows with her in it, 金牌师爷 was so funny, i wish i could find it somewhere online or wherever and watch again, haha. and OH, i remember my 表姐 always call me 朱乐玲 的妹妹, bcos our names only 差 one word, hahaha. i realised i quite like fann wong in the past, the 新阿朗 era, even though i tink the show is crap, (i dun really like alex man, golden horse or not, i dun like him) fann wong's character was actually very likeable, oh and she sang with my then idol jeff chang "别让情两难..." hahaha i also like 解连环, wah, tat one classic man!

recently, happened to stumble upon 不老传说，hahaha.. wah, chew chor meng's hair was really classic, i distinctly remember i didnt get to watch this, because then, my brother was brought back to singapore, and he was really scared of vampire and ghost shows, so the tv cannot be on while this kinda dramas are on, haha. so now i can watch! eh! edmund chen's in it too, he's so handsome and rosy, and he still look the same now! wow, really 不老传说, hahaha

let's see, still got wat old dramas worth mentioning...
钢琴88 (woo hoo, got 关德辉，he's very cute! hee).
壮志豪情 (沈金兴 quite popular tat time)
烈焰焚情 (the theme song, sang by edmund chen, quite catchy, hahaha)
双天至尊 OMG who doesn't know that drama? i remember watchin this in primary sch, and after exams we'd still go to school but no lessons at all, so play games all day, and all of us were tryin to be like 言飞 and Luo Qifang playing with the dice usin containers, hahaha!
天师钟馗！who else remembers this? i love that show!! it always starts with 钟馗 laughing loud, HA HA HA, den enters the theme song. hee

ok, not all old dramas are nice, some were.. erm.. not my cup of tea. haha.

the BUANG case of all-time: 金枕头，OMG til now i still dun get why and how can 2 beautiful girls (fann n zoe) fighting over a guy called Ren-Niang? the name already puts me off. and the ending scene was ridiculous, 3 of them listenin to the golden pillow. hello?? its just a stone. i'm wondering if its even gold in the 1st place. sheesh! lol.



ps: i tink i'm allergic to banana skin. lol. last nite, i put a banana into my freezer for like a half hour, i like the icy taste of fruits, ice watermelon is my favourite. i was peeling the skin and eating it when the banana skin started to have condensed water (eh, jus out from the freezer lah, surely got condensation) and my hands were "tainted" with banana skin water. hahaha. and the next morning, my fingers were red and quite swollen, very VERY ITCHY! small little spots of rashes started appearing and it ITCHED LIKE MAD! i literally painted my hands with calamine lotion man! wah lau, didnt know my skin wood be so sensitive to banana skin. i didnt notice this before, cos when u eat banana, its dry one wat, even if the banana skin touched my hands, its only the outside tat touches my skin, u know, cos u peel it outwards, u wont get to touch the inside of the skin. last nite's incident was cos, the water made it worse, so the erm juice of the banana skin manages to seep into my pores i suppose. hahaha.

so yup, my fingers are still itchy now *scratches*

new shoes!!

finally bought my canvas shoes. YAY! so happy!! hahahah...

i actually wanted to buy a greyish one with pink threads n laces initially, but i realised it'll probably get dirty easily, cos its rather light grey.. so after lotsa browsing and consideration, i eventually bought this black one. hehe

仔仔's new song: 我不是F4

and his new song is written by... *drum roll*... JAY CHOU ! yes，the 周杰伦.

haha.

quite interesting, have seen zaizai's new album commercial, out in oct somethin, cant remember. i wont deny he's handsome, but all i wana say is, 他好瘦！！ oh my goodness, 他身体曲线是玲珑的 lor!! haha

i am SO looking forward to the 3rd installation of Phoenix Wright. so exciting!!! i loved this game so much that i play the 1st n 2nd phoenix wright AGAIN n AGAIN, every now and den. haha! oh, sth occurs to me, i wonder if huixin has completed the "jammin ninja" case. hmmm... i highly doubt so, hahahahahaha!!

hebe: 舞动精灵，台版 beyonce

during a talk show in china, SHE said 她们以前看起来很怪, and they were shown their first ever mv "beauty up my life" as sort of a 精彩回顾. 3 of them looked at the big screens behind them, very 专注的眼神... den comes a scene in the mv where Hebe was in the centre, doin her solo dance, the following conversation took place:

selina: 好媚 eh 老婆 (referrin to hebe), 舞动得好 high 哦！
hebe: (excitedly) 舞动精灵！！
ella: 哈哈！好 high 哦！Wah-Woo！！Waah-Woo！(clapping and screaming away)
selina: 老婆！
hebe: 我好狂哦！
ella: 老婆，你好厉害哦！好狂野啊！
selina: 老婆， 你怎么现在都不那么狂了呢？

- the mv ends here, camera is back on the 3 of them-

host: 跳得很好啊
ella: 狂野啊，老婆！ (giving 2 thumbs up)
hebe: 其实我那时候如果好好培养，现在应该就是台版 beyonce
selina & ella: 对！
hebe: 就是没培养到，真是的
ella: 辣的 leh！
host: 你从小就会跳舞吗？
hebe: 不会，但是我是小的时候，我会觉得比别人就是会，就是有节奏感，比较会舞动身躯。 所以我刚刚舞动得很尽情。可是后来，渐渐我们是学老师教我们哪一拍做什么动作的时候，我发现我没有办法被规定。我的肢体没有办法被规定做什么样的动作。我觉得我做跟别人一摸一样动作的时候，我会特别怪， 然后就觉得，啊！我跳舞好难看，就觉得很没有自信，我就觉得自己很怪。
host: 你跳得很好啊！
hebe: 我觉得很棒！ (and all 3 of them laughed like anythin)

i kinda like the new prudential tv commercial, its in the website too, so got time please check it out, hehe. the commercial is not cheesy and over the top. i actually tink its quite 贴心 and close to us... like it can apply to anybody, u know wat i mean? i tink it should be on tv starting from.. today? i first saw it during our annual final sprint event held at expo.. oh! and class 95 and yes 933 are supposed to advertise for prudential. if i remember correctly, should be the morning drive session on class 95 and for yes 933 is whole day, haha, i should make an effort to listen to the radio one of these days.

ok folks, i'll end this entry with the following line:

"every retirement lifestyle has a number. what's yours?"


ps: "whats your number" is our new err slogan? catch phrase? at roadshows and stuff. so if u walk along the streets and some roadshow ppl ask u "wats ur number" or sth, pls dun misunderstand hoh, they are NOT tryin to pick u up by askin for your phone number, lol.

songs on repeat mode...

"我爱你" is a song by SHE thats currently on repeat mode on my ipod. these girls can really sing! i think its the first time that im actually impressed with a girl group/band. haha. anyway, this song is so good and easy on my ears. i didnt really paid attention to this song, until i saw SHE's concert on dvd, and this was their ending song. i really like the chorus, especially towards the end where the lyrics goes: "哪里都一起去，一起仰望星星，一起走出森林，一起品尝回忆" the backing vocals were powerful and it felt like a 大合唱, very big choir feel, like very grand.. duno how to describe, its really a nice song. and the mv was so moving, i actually cried. the full length 12min mv was Oh! 太感人了...

金钟罩铁布衫 is another old song by SHE, and i LOVE it. its such a cute song, and the mv was even cuter. and the mv's making-of clip was so funny, hebe's a beng-ish and very 台客 guy in the mv and she was so hilarious in the 制作花絮, totally man 到全场的人... hahhahaha!! go watch the mv, its so funny i laughed til 爆, especially the very last scene, they forcing chunks of bread into ella's mouth. hahahaha

remote control lost...

the location of my dvd remote control is currently unknown. where is it???? i always put the remote controls in one place, together with the tv control, hi-fi... now its gone missing! why?? *cries*

live free or die hard...

i watched die hard 4.0 yesterday on my computer. im a huge fan of action blockbusters, but i missed it when it was showin in the cinemas tat time. if you paid attention, u'd have realised i'm missing movies all the time this year. hahahaha. ok, overall i liked the action, i like maggie Q (oh come on, who doesnt?!). the only thing is, it doesnt seem very "die hard" to me.

story wise is ok. i actually felt bad for the villian. he was just tryin to prove his point, but was never taken seriously by the higher officials. sigh. action wise, it was typical hollywood stuff. lotsa explosions, car collisions, helicopter crashes... the most classic one being the hero never dies. lol. bruce willis can fall from 5th floor and only suffered scratches, while the bad guys, fall exactly the same way, died instantly. hahaha. why?? because he is john mcclane. lol. just like ethan hunt in mission impossible, heroes always save the day, with minor injuries. haha.

metamorphosis...

err. its a big word, for a tv show title tat is. hell, i havent heard the word since my secondary 4 pure biology class. lol. and i duno why they chose that word for a cop drama. sometimes, i tink the english titles for chinese drama sound ridiculous. haha

anyway, i tink its a pretty good drama. for channel 8 standard lah. lol. plot wise, its so-so. but i tink the crimes were sth new.. as in, we never had that in past channel 8 dramas before. i actually tink the supporting cast was good, most of the small characters were able to bring out the story well.

what i didnt like abt this drama was, there were ALOT of close-up shots of the actors' face. and i mean really CLOSE, the face takes up the entire tv screen! i was tinkin, why the director zoomed in on the faces all the time?? to expose the actors' big pores n black heads? some scenes were really weird n uncomfortable to watch. for example there's a dialogue between 2 ppl. the shot/scene switches back n forth, person A to person B, all i can see is the actors' face. no background, no neck, jus the face. really awkward.

2nd thing i didnt like was, ix shen. i'm sorry, its nothing personal, i'm sure he's a nice guy, but i jus dont like his acting. i mean, how can u act with 死鱼眼? i dun have a problem with small eyes guys. because i tink Rain looks pretty good. and hk actor 王喜 is pretty charming, so small eyes is actually fine for me. but ix shen's... i duno wat to say man.

ok, so far the show has got 2 main stories. the 1st being the gang triad thing, the 2nd being the current one, with dismembered bodies. and i realised sth, both cases were not really solved by the cops. yeah, they eventually figured out who's the culprit. but in actual fact, didnt really get to catch n detain them. culprits either managed to run away (despite under heavy scrutiny n surveillance, yes such drama) or jus died. hahaha.

whole nine yards

i watched this movie a coupla days ago (i saw it before, years ago, so cant really remember the plot) and i almost died from laughing too hard n so much!! hahahaha.. ok, its not bruce wilis. duh. its matthew perry (aka chandler bing, my favorite guy on FRIENDS) whom made me laughed til crazy. he's such a HOOT!!! every scene with him is hilarious. he has such a comical vibe, not jus his looks, but the way he delivered the punchlines n his personality, everythin. like he's born to do comedies. i actually think jim carrey can step aside. ho ho ho!!

*swoons* wat can i say? i would love to have a bf/hubby like him. hee hee!!

yes. like hell i'm gonna meet such a wonderfully funny guy in singapore. maybe i should be like monica gellar first... hmmm...

LOL

stuck in toilet...

literally.

i didnt sleep well last night. i "woke" up a few times, and realised i'm halfway between bein conscious n asleep. hahaha. obviously, i couldnt move. because my brain's tellin my muscles that i'm still asleep, so the muscles wont move (this happens because it prevents the body from acting out the dreams). anyway, i remember seeing flashes of light. and i'm somewhere between dream world and my bed. wah lau, the feelin is so tiring, i could feel my shoulders very 酸.

i planned to go jb in the day. i got woken up not by my alarm clock, but by the sharp pain in my stomach area. wah lau, it was so painful, its like a spasm. it felt like the diarrhoea kind of pain, but not quite. i went to toilet anyway, hoping that by doin the business, my stomach will feel more comfortable. but i was wrong. i stayed in the toilet for like a very long time. can really feel blood from my brain rushin downwards, the very faint feelin. alamak, not AGAIN!? i used all the strength i could gather to get out of the toilet, and i saw my face was like so pale, my lips were white. i 想都不想 faster go crash on my bed to rest. had to give up on the jb trip loh. hours later, i felt better. wah lau. so angry, cos i 好不容易 can find the time to go jb, but den 就这样泡汤... sigh!!!

oh yah! my mom asked me to accompany her to meet the servicing agent of my mom's policy. the agent is a middle aged woman, the auntie-ish kind. anyway, in the mornin, i spoke to her over the phone, and told her my mom wants to withdraw some cashbacks, so i asked her to bring the necessary forms for the withdrawal. ok den met her in the evening. i brought the latest quotation with me, so she can to take a look. Oh, when my mom gave me the stack of statements and asked me to 研究, i understood everythin lah, i even calculated everythin out myself, drew her a table etc... but my mom didnt believe me, she said maybe different company got different styles of quotation illustrations, so let the agent explain better. LOL. but the agent like dun really know how to see the numbers n the correct projected value leh. she explain explain, den asked my mom "你明白吗?" obviously mom didnt really understand, so my mom said "我女儿明白就好了" hahahaha... later, she asked my mom to sign the form. BUT, i suspect she brought the wrong form. LOL. my mom wants to withdraw. so by right it should be a "withdrawal form", with boxes or blacks to fill in how much $ is to be withdrawn. the form she brought, was a "change of option" form... erm...

the agent took a LONG TIME to read the form she took. i almost wanted to say "err, my mom wants to withdraw, not change option". lol. i duno if she realised she brought the wrong form or wat. i didnt say anythin, wait she gets offended or embarassed, not very nice lah. after tat, she said "这里没有地方让我写说要 withdraw 多少, 可是 10 workin days 过后你应该会收到那个 cheque." i was like HUH? like tat can meh? cos my mom wants to take out $XXX a specific amt, not the entire cashbacks. if never write how much, how they know how much to write on the cheque? besides, its a "change of option" form she brought, not withdrawal form leh. hmmm... i was tinkin maybe the company operates differently from mine? so dont expose the agent yet. haha. but still, 怪怪的.

i find the whole thing very funny. i mean, for me, if a client wants to do withdrawal or switching or watever, i always make sure i have the correct forms. i even bring extra misc forms, jus in case the client last min wants to do other things. but this agent hoh, only brought her small handbag, and ONE form (perhaps the wrong one somemore). alamak. wat if my mom last min decided to surrender leh? never bring the form den 不是白跑一趟?

today (a day after meetin the agent) my mom asked me if the agent called to say need to sign another form. hahaha. even my mom tinks the form 怪怪的. anyway, hopefully everythin goes smoothly n my mom will receive the cheque 10 workin days later. but still, the form makes me feel 怪怪的. so im now checking out the company's website. eh? they have a form just to cater for withdrawal leh! "withdrawal form for survival benefits/cashbonus" thats the correct form! i clicked on it, and it asked for details n the amt to be filled it. THATS THE ONE MAN! so the agent did bring the wrong form. hahaha.. but how come she never call back leh? hmmm...

LOL.

finally~~

美味关系 is finally airing!!! yay!!!! 仔仔 is so cute! hahahahaha..

hmmm... few days ago, my mom asked me to look at a policy she bought in 1993. quite surprised that she asked me for opinion, lol. anyway, my mom said she wanted a policy that matures when my bro reaches 21. cos the its meant to be for his education. but turns out, the policy is for 21 years! meaning it will mature when my bro is 27. shit! i so wanted to find that agent and scream at him. its an educational policy, who will wan it to mature at age 27?? it so does NOT make sense. duh. hello?? 用脑想一想 man! and the thing is, according to my mom, that agent never showed his face ever again. den 14 years liao, changed duno how many agents, not one called or showed up.

anyway, my mom wanted to know if terminate the plan now, whats the surrender value. so i called the company up to ask for the current servicing agent, and i 顺便 asked the operator for the latest updated quotation.. i got a shock when i received it. the maturity value originally was double that of premiums paid, ok not bad. BUT den now, projected value becomes a few thousands more than premiums paid, ie, barely break even. WHAT??!! its not a big policy to be fair, but barely breakeven?? a 21-year policy leh, fucking waste of time.

not goin to name that company, but lets jus say that Life, is NOT great. lol

爱情新呼吸... taiwanese dramas

is a taiwanese drama that i'm tryin to watch now. its got 林峰, 方中信, 陈怡蓉, 安以轩... only watched the 1st 2 episodes, so duno good or not yet. so far ok lah, just that the 2 hongkong actors had their lines dubbed. i tink raymond lam's mandarin is ok leh, dun need to dub one mah... sigh. i hate movies/dramas that are dubbed.

i'll probably continue watching, cos i like alex fong (方中信)!! he's very man loh! hahaha.. so many dramas i wana catch, but no enough time man! 樱野3+1 seems nice. great cast, i tink. but havent watch.

i'm looking forward to 美味关系, with JVKV's (formerly known as F4, yes, they changed name. in case u didnt know, lol) 仔仔 and 侯佩岑.
and 斗牛要不要, its got hebe! yay! i like her, she's so funny n cool. and i think its also got 贺军翔, so its a MUST WATCH liao. hahahaha..

deja vu...

ever been in a situation where u suddenly realised that, u've been to this place before, even tho its ur 1st time there? or that u had a weird feeling that a conversation/action/scenario happened before, in exactly the same way? i get that all the time. and its almost eerie and freaked me out sometimes.

anyway, i finally watched Deja Vu, 2 days ago. i missed it in the cinemas (again). my friend, raymond said he was sitting in the theatre and didnt know wats goin on until 1 hour into the movie. now i know wat he meant. a sample line from the movie:

"we were attempting to use concentrated bursts of energy to enhance the sensitivity of optical telescopes. in the process, we had a breakthrough. given the energy, we could warp the fabric of space."

just as my brain's slowly tryin to absorb all those words, another bunch of weird alien language comes motoring out:

"they found a way to fold space back onto itself. we can now fold the space, bring the target closer to us, create wats known as an einstein-rosen bridge, otherwise known as a wormhole, suspend it via gravitational field..."

yes. digest that. and thank goodness for subtitles, cos the characters went on and on abt science n physics stuff.. can totally challenge the architect in The Matrix man!

i've said before, movies that deal with time travellin always make me end up with HUH? and WHAT? in some movies, they always emphasize that if they go back into the past, nothing is allowed to be touched or changed, and they cannot be seen, or else: suffer consequences. examples include, sound of thunder, harry potter prisoner of azkaban, butterfly effect, planet of the apes.

but then in some movies, they can totally touch n change the past! plot holes exist mainly because its illogical. like how could anyone travel back in time and den get killed or died during their stay in the past, or even lagi best, continue livin' in the past, cos den they wouldn't exist in the future to travel back in time! examples include the timeline, kate n leopold, jay chou's secret and of cos, deja vu. its ending was so NOT logical. when the credits came on, i was like "WHAT??"

anyway, it was a great movie, despite e illogical plot towards the end, i had fun watching it. it was a rather powerful movie too, cos it made me think. hahaha.

another movie i watched yesterday was "i now pronounce you chuck n larry" i watched this on my computer last night cos i couldn't sleep. the movie's so funny! there were lotsa witty lines and jokes that were actually funny. ill probably buy the dvd, its really worth getting. rob schneider had a cameo in it, and he was SO gawd damned funny!! he almost steals the show but equally hilarious were adam sandler n kevin james, this movie's a hoot! hahaha. this reminds me, adam sandler had a cameo in rob schneider's the hot chick. and the cameo role was a memorable one too. haha!!

i find some slapstick comedies a chore to watch. most of the time, the jokes weren't even funny. i was like 皮笑, 肉不笑. something like the channel 8 show on duno monday or tues, supposed to be a 搞笑 variety, with mark lee n gang. please, it was unbearable n so NOT funny. i hope it gets canned. *evil laughs*

new pillow!!

i bought a new pillow today!! hehe... went to compass point's metro, at 1st i didnt know how and wat to choose, there were so many kinds! polyester, cotton, etc.. den this salesperson auntie came up and asked if im looking for pillow, den she said "u wan a pillow like the 5-star hotel kind?" hahaha.. den she showed me this pillow n said alot of customers bot from her, and its the kind tat hotels use. its soft, but it will not make a depression when u press it down n let go, which is the kind i like. but of cos, wat the head feels, is different from wat the hands feel. so i said i duno if my head will like this pillow. den the auntie asked me to try it on the display bed. LOL! she put the pillow on the bed, and asked me to lie down. HAHAHA!! so funny! and i really tried the pillow on the bed man! luckily it was like closing time, so there werent many ppl around. quite comfortable, so i bought it... 29 bucks loh. ok, tonite sleep liao den see if its really nice like 5-star hotels pillows. LOL

i was reading sept's issue of LIME magazine (yes, i still read LIME), jessica biel's on the cover. she's hot! another gorgeous babe. anyway, i came across this joke on the last page. it goes like this: 2 couples decide to spend a raunchy weekend away together at a post hotel. when they get there, one guy suggests to swap partners to spice things up. after 2 hours of sweaty sex by the fireside, the guy turns to his new partner and says, "wow! this is the very BEST sex i've had in years. i wonder how the girls are doing..."

laughed my ass off.

oh no...

argh!! i just ate a super big pack of potato chips. so much for cutting down on salt.

kill me now.

a funny dream.. haha

i dreamt tat i was sorta a contestant on Deal or No Deal (erm... yes, LOL) and i duno if i won any money, but i do remember distinctly tat i've won a dinner date with briefcase #10 andrea fonseka! lol. she's really gorgeous, i tink i wouldn't mind that i didnt win any money. haha. ok, i know its weird n strange, i should be dreaming abt some hunks instead. but as the saying goes "日有所思，夜有所梦", dreams come about becos when we sleep, random pictures tend to float around in the mind, and so the brain tries to connect those images up and viola! a dream is formed! anyway, im guessing im not dreamin abt any hunks becos i havent come across any lately. LOL. i mean, have u seen the candidates for Deal or No Deal male version? they are no way as good looking as andrea and the ladies. the girls beat them hands down!

i wana and HAVE TO lose weight!!!

i HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT!!

i was clearing my room and i found some photo albums on my dusty shelf. i was flipping thru it, remembering the memories and i realised, i gained SO MUCH weight over the past 2 years!! gosh!! this is the 1st time i'm posting pictures of myself here, the pic on the right was taken on june 2005 n i was in holland. den the one where i was wearing my graduation gown, its dated july 2005, one month after i went to europe.

i remember i gained abt 5kg during my stay in holland, when i returned, my friends were exclaiming "eileen! u've gotten FAT!!". yah, 5kg man! food in europe is like crazy big portions and lotsa carboh. plus, my relatives took me around n treated me good food n stuff, its difficult to not gain weight when i'm holidaying lah ah. u cant really see the fat here, becos its taken like the 2nd day i'm there, so haven balloon yet. haha! u'll notice the effects of good food from pics of my bangkok trip with shups n jane (i flew to bbk the day after i flew back fr brussels, lol) which i will NOT post, obviously. my face was so round man!! omg.

tat time i was tinkin, oh no, graduation ceremony's only weeks later liao, n i cannot be lookin tat fat and take pictures on one of the most important days of my life!! but luckily, i managed to lose the excess weight. without doing any exercise. yups! just like tat. haha. i tink its cos of the food here in singapore, less 丰富. den somehow, i regained to my normal self.

den NOW, when i look at those pics, i realised, wow, i looked so thin then! (not tat i was really thin last time, im comparing to now lah) my weight's abt the same leh. but my face seems to be so much rounder. why?? u friends mite have heard of my complains abt the head shots i took for my prudential card. wah lau eh, got extra inch of meat on my cheeks man!!

ok, i have to watch my diet from now on. since i've no time and/or too lazy to exercise and my metabolism rate is like slower than b4, i jus have to eat less of everythin. less sweets, less salts (bye bye potato chips, *sobs sobs*). ppl, jio me for sauna sessions!!

while i'm on the topic of my holland trip 2 years ago, jus tot i'd wana post some pics here.

tats me and my cousin. wow, jus remembered my hair was nice, naturally straight and long tat time. now my hair's like @#$%^&*-ingly shit!

lost in blue 2

the DS game i'm currently playing is Lost in Blue 2.

i finished the 1st one in like a week, with the help of cheat code! haha. this game is abt surviving on a deserted island, because of a shipwreck. my character is a boy name keith (i tink) and when i roamed around the beach, i found another survivor! a girl name skye. i like this game because its so cute! stay in a cave, go around collecting twigs for firewood and coconuts to fill the tummy, searching for tools to make traps to catch animals for meat, hunting for deers n boars with self made bows n arrows. its so cute!!

wat i didnt like abt the game was that, animals are difficult to hunt. i have to set a trap and wait for some cow to appear. or when i walk, sometimes, a deer will be in front of me. i cannot go too near to it becos obviously it will run away. so i have to see which way the deer is heading and set the trap in advance. here's the thing, the deer is heading east, chewing grass on the way, so i placed the trap den wait for it to walk a few more steps den hurray!! but suddenly, it turned and headed north instead. wah lau, ANGRY! waste my time and trap materials.

2nd thing i didnt like was, the girl, skye, is super dependant on keith. wat frustrates me is when i explore for ways out of the island, there are obstacles such as huge boulder in the way, and i have to take skye with me to move it. dragging skye along is frustrating!! cos when i climb up a step, its very fast n easy. but for skye to go up, i have to carry her and throw her up on the step, before i can climb up. and when i'm up, she's still sittin there, in the same position as when i threw her up. keith has to pull her up, before she can continue walkin. wah lau, vomit blood! alot of time wasted on pulling and carrying skye, macham she's disabled. lol.

anyway, i played it with a cheat code, ie, i have infinite life power for skye, she can never go hungry or thirsty. HENG man! otherwise i have to keep worrying abt skye dying on me den game over. after gettin past jungles, solving 7 puzzles in the ruins area (cracked my brains out with the last puzzle man!). keith discovered there are... *drum rolls* other ppl on the island!! lol. but they are some military ppl, the bad guys lah. so i have to stealth my way to steal the speedboat key from the boss. damn funny. and i got outta the island with skye after surviving 55 days on the island. sweet!

the sequel, lost in blue 2, is a relatively new game, n i cannot find the cheatcode for it. so i have to play it like normal loh. game play is almost the same, the character's name is Jack and the girl is Amy. new mini games are included. i have to cook stuff like in the game "cooking mama". quite time consuming lah. cos previously, i jus press "eat" and the characters will eat watever's available. story's the same, jack has to explore the island, leaving amy in the cave or taking her along to complete certain tasks together.. the game developers got smart, this time they made the girl efficient and not incompetent. taking her along is not a chore and she can help me make baskets (to trap small animals) outta the bamboo i collected and stuff like tat. she's more like a helper this time round. which i like. skye was totally wrecked man. lol.

yesterday, i finally get to the savannah area. and im supposed to build a treehouse. it requires in total 28 logs, 30 ropes n 10 leaves in 7 stages of building. damn it. there are only 4 logs in the jungle, and they appear again after like 3 days. ropes was more difficult. i have to collect vines (which there're only abt 5 in the jungle) and den ask amy to help me make into ropes. time consuming loh! but it gives me a sense of satisfaction when i see how beautiful the cave becomes, after efforts to collect materials n upgrading the furniture etc. the characters used to be like lying on leaves. den now they sleep on queen size beds with furs! lol.

meanwhile, i have to catch fish, get twigs and fend off wolves alligators n tigers attacking me. lol. wolf is fun to fight with, because i can jus punch them with my bare fist, dun even need to use spear weapon, and when i've won, whats left behind are 3 things: meat, fur and lard. so hilarious!! one moment i see this wolf running at me. next thing i see are 3 squarish objects. damn funny.

the only downside is, sometimes amy cannot take care of herself while im away. imagine when i'm so far away in the swamps tryin to get across, amy's life n hunger status on the top screen is in danger mode. if drop to 0%, a cutscene will show amy collapsing and GAME OVER. so i have to RUN all the way back to the cave and make her drink n eat. wat the hell? there's 20L of water in the barrel (i found it on the beach after a stormy rainy day) in the cave and 5 packed food on the shelf man!! the water was collected from the river via a 1L water bottle on me. and the packed food (worth abt 30% of easing hunger) was of cos prepared by me. why doesnt amy drink or eat any of that? OMG.

i've now spent 78 days on the island. still only at the swamp area. no sight of civilisation. sigh. if amy continues to 陷害我, i wont be surprised if i spend years on the island man! hahahaha.

我超不爽！！

hmm... this entry will be an angry one. ppl with heart problems, pregnant or if ur easily offended by my use of vulgarities, please stay clear. don't say i never warn you. lol.

i have to summarise, cos its a really long story, tat dates back to year 2005. tats the year i graduated rite? hmm.. i tink so lah, haha.
that year was a torturous one. not because of final semester at NUS. i wasn't worried abt school at all, cos i tink i handled studies quite well (haha so bhb). i knew i was going for just bachelor degree, so i just did my part as a student and everythin should be fine.

i had a friend (note: its past tense) who was in FASS, same year as me. oh, its the same person who borrowed my FRIENDS vcd. damn it. i'm jus gonna name this person as Beach**. (bitch? lol) Beach is not exactly from rich family, but she sure looks like one. the clothes, the bags, the make up etc etc, all quite branded. tat year, Beach was arranging with friends to go on a graduation trip to taiwan. i knew she had $ difficulties. and being a kay-poh n stupid idiot, i wanted to help, i even approached another friend Tyler**, to help out. at 1st, Beach was paisay, but den gradually took things for granted. i've never been to taiwan. and i love getting souvenirs. so i asked Beach to get me a small souvenir, she said "of cos lah, you tink i so bad dont get you anythin meh?"

somehow, our friendship started to go spiraling downwards. i was beginnin to wonder if it was even a friendship, cos it felt really one-way on my part. Beach said cos i pissed her off real bad. and i never heard from her since. wat the hell? at tat time, i wasn't mad at myself for helpin her in the 1st place. i was really pissed that she can jus say its my fault and den 拍拍屁股走人.

-1 year later-

Beach smsed my other friend, Carmen**, outta the blue. my friend was shocked to the max! in the sms, Beach said sth like "...just wonderin how u guys are doin. i know, weird thought rite?"
and the next day, Beach smsed me. guess wat? she wans to do financial planning for me. yes, Beach wans me to get policy from her. LOL. she said a seminar speaker was saying sth like must approach all ppl, otherwise, those whom didnt approach in the end kenna illness or watever, den will feel really guilty, like "if only i had gotten him to buy insurance".. tats why she looked me up. HAHAHA. my ass! i tink if i kenna heart disease (touchwood!) she also cant be bothered loh! let alone feel guilty.

-another year later-

which is present time. Tyler ran into some financial problems. i felt so bad, bcos it was me who ask him to help Beach out. i really regretted it. and i wanted to help him. but i don't have much liquid cash around. all i have are assets. so i asked Beach if she can do something. its abt time to repay me and my friend's kindness anyway. but Beach said she didnt TAKE anythin. its me who GAVE her the help. wat the fuck? isn't it the same? give and take is a 2-way thing. i can never "give" anythin unless the other party stretches out and "takes" it. u know wat i mean?

anyway, she jus said that she appreciated my help, but she doesnt expect herself to repay anythin she didnt take. WHAT??

ok so she said she appreciated. but action speaks louder, i heard her say that, but i'm sorry i just didnt SEE it. i had to ASK her to get me souvenir. and in the end? i didnt get anythin. i helped her so much, and yet i didnt get a thing! "of cos lah, you tink i so bad don't get you anythin meh?" really haunted me like hell.

i am so not good at face to face confrontation. im never good at argueing or quarreling. im jus not good with words. if i felt Beach was worth helping, den i dont mind at all. friends are meant to help each other. the thing is, she's definitely not worth my efforts, to think i was so nice to her in the past. damn it. so now i'm stuck. im obliged to help Tyler, i don't have Beach's ruthless guts to say "bye bye its not my problem". 所以, 我就是咽不下这口气, that i have to be the 倒霉鬼/戴罪羔羊 to clear her mess. everythin's spent and forever gone. i can never get anythin back from her. 我超不爽!

BUT to be fair to Beach, given that this was jus my side of the story, she said before that she would love to reciprocate, just that resources are limited. so she said if she has the chance one day, she'll do all she can to repay me.

ok babe, a shoutout to you: here's your chance to repay me, now that u have all the resources and financial ability. so come on do your thing!

long story cut short. im sorry if u blog readers didnt understand the whole thing, bcos its difficult to spell out every single detail. already tried my best to summarise. alot of other things i didnt mention, but year 2005 was a horrible one for me. and that incident's been bugging me ever since. for 2 years odd, every time when i'm alone on train rides, or when i momentarily 放空 durin nitetime in my room, Beach's act of 拍屁股走人 just creeps into my mind. and every time tat happens, a knot is tied somewhere in my muscles, i jus feel tense, upset n 闷. sigh, i hope 不会闷出病来. this thing's been clinging onto me like a burden draggin me down.

i really hope i can get some closure and MOVE ON and den never have anythin to do with Beach anymore.

S.H.E: they make me laugh!! hahaha...

ok, this is not the 1st time i've said it, SHE are so funny, they make me laugh! when they appear on shows n interviews etc, they always hav sth funny to say... and 完全娱乐 or 娱乐百分百 always got this backstage footages, so fun to watch! just makes my day watching clips of them on "making of" or "behind the scenes"... especially the making of 金钟罩铁布衫 MV, i was laughing uncontrollably the whole time, hahahah.

duno what this heading should be...

LOL.

jus found out liverpool won derby county 6-0... wahahaha.. tats crazy man! tat time eating mee pok at my house kopitiam with my cousin, we had a perfect view of the plasma tv (nowaways kopitiam very class n rich huh, haha) showing the match between tottenham and derby, we were appalled at derby's defence, cos they allowed hotspurs players to charge at their goalie! the defenders were mostly ball-watching. haha. so now i'm not actually surprise that pool won by so much. and i'm very very happy torres got 2 of those goals. hee hee!!

hmm.. i got problems posting pictures on the right side, cannot even upload man! WHY??? now i cannot update what i'm watching... how???

anyway, finally watched the movie Next (starring nicholas cage and jessica biel, wow she is hot!) i missed it while it was showing in the cinemas. since the story's abt seeing the future, therefore involving "manipulation" of time, there're loopholes here n there. typical rite? almost all the movies abt time traveling, got plot loop holes one. frequency, kate n leopold, butterfly effect, jay chou's secret, just to name a few. i always end up with alot of HUHs? and questions. to quote from nicholas cage's character, "here's the thing about the future. every time you look at, it changes, because you looked at. and that changes everything else." haha. so this Next was like HUH? but fun to watch. hee.

lost dvd...

btw, who has my Saving Face dvd ah? i can't seem to find it... or did i lend it to someone? *scratches head*

that's the thing with lending or borrowing from people. not that i'm chao kuan or what, i don't really like to lend ppl things. cos it either gets lost, or not returned in one piece. and if i do lend, i expected it to be short term, cos if lent too long, time goes by, the person or me for that matter, might have clean forgotten about it. den if i suddenly miraculously remember and ask the person abt it, the usual replies are "got meh?" and "paisay, i lost it liao".

this reminds me of a certain friend i lent my FRIENDS vcd to (ironic, isn't it?). duno she too busy or what, she says she no time to watch it, duno how to operate her vcd player, duno the discs put where... alot of excuses. sigh, it got to a time where i was too paisay to ask abt it liao. den one fine day, she told me she lost it, couldnt find it anywhere. i was like uh-huh... den how? guess whats her reply? she said "i told you i lost it, there's nothing i can do abt it!!!" in a very 理直气壮 manner somemore. wtf. my fault ah? eh, you lost the item tat you borrowed from me, i suppose its natural for me to ask "den how?" rite? still have to cheek to rant back at me. wtf?

after this incident (and many others), i've become apprehensive abt lending stuff to ppl. so whoever borrows things from me, don't mind me for occasionally asking the whereabouts and for unconsciously unknowningly displaying my kanchiong behavior, lol.

that's abt me lending. i also have a fair share of stories of me borrowing. lol. that time when half blood prince was out (how many years ago was that?), i couldn't bear to part my $ for that book, bcos it was too ex. and since my brother isnt gonna get it tat fast either, i had to borrow from a friend. when the friend lent me, he said he hasn't even read it yet, and asked if i could read it asap because his younger brother wanted to read the book fast. hmm, if he was that kanchiong for his brother, den why bother to agree to lend me? anyway, so i managed to read it within 4 days and returned him the book 3 days later, ie, the book was in my possession for a week. i was very careful with the book, i also returned him in the DHL (or whatever) envelope he passed me originally. ok den last month, he smsed me out of the blue, asking if his harry potter book is with me. err. so i told him i already returned him one week after he lent me. he said "got meh? i don't remember" and after several smses to and fro, he said "ok whatever, nevermind" i was like, WHAT THE LAU?! so he didnt believe me, that i already returned it? and is he conveniently blaming me for the unknown location of the damn book? wah lau!! i distinctly remember him constantly reminding me to hurry up finish reading, so his brother can have the book. now 不见了 den come and blame me. wth?

cousin visiting from holland..

my cousin came back to settle some stuff... and he asked me if there's anythin new going on in singapore... i thought for very long time and i was like "err... harbourfront vivocity?" hahahaha.. den i told him maybe can check out night safari, bird park, sentosa, discovery centre (science center or watever) hahaha so boring loh, LOL.

we went to jb loh. walked around, did some shoppin, den we were gonna eat seafood, but i duno the name of the place in malay, i only know 大马花园.. so we were hoping to catch a cab who speaks chinese. tough luck man! a cab stopped for us, but he's malay, i was like "err.. taman.. err hawker center.. eat seafood.." the driver said "oh, taman sri (duno wat he said) hawker centre? yes of cos, hurry get in".. my cousin was like "correct or not??" hahahah... in the end, is correct lah. now i know the place is taman sri tebrau. lol. we ordered the 麦片 crayfish, it was yummy!! SO YUMMY! when we 挖 the 肉出来 in one big piece, it was like so shiok! we ate quite a bit, to me, its quite cheap. so to him, in euro terms, it was even cheaper! hahaha.

OH YAH! i suddenly remember. i walked past my house de kopi tiam on sunday, they were showing the liverpool vs chelsea match, just nice saw the referee gave chelsea a penalty, damn it, it wasnt even a foul loh! the chelsea player anyhow fall down one. damn pissed. liverpool was leading 1-0 loh! den end up the score was 1-1. so angry with the stupid referee. spoil my mood, especially since my torres scored a well taken goal in the 1st half..

this song damn catchy loh. 可增强我自信心的一首歌...

LOL!!!

feeling... down...

the 1st post in august, is not a happy one.

i feel so out of touch with the world. that time met up with ruyin, and i realised how far behind i am in the movies and entertainment scene. it can be considered a good thing, it jus means im busy with my work n stuff. but also a bad thing, bcos is my life really gonna be jus abt work? OMG. this reminds me of a dream tat i had. i dreamt i was meeting a prospect and i was actually doing presentation! its a good thing, it shows im still professional when it comes to work. but its quite jialat cos it occured to me "这就是我的生活吗?" the dream kinda freaked me out: am i really workaholic?

anyway. feel very down recently. work is stressful. personal life is plain n boring. close friends are drifting apart. sigh. i've come to realise i have my strengths when i service the stranger-type of clients. but when it comes to clients who are my friends, i have alot of weaknesses. what i hope to achieve, is for ppl to think of me when they thought of insurance, sth like "insurance? better to find eileen". that will be the ultimate sign that shows i succeed in this career. but not the other way round, i dun wish ppl to think "eileen? oh, insurance" maybe u mite think there's no difference. but there IS!

coupla mths ago, a gd friend of mine told me he thinks macham we're friends bcos of insurance. sigh. there's only so much time i have. i need to meet new propects, service existing clients etc etc, i hardly have time to hang out w friends. so wat i do, is to make myself efficient. when i hangout with friends, if need be, ill 顺便 update them. den no need to arrange another session rite? eh, come to tink of it, i realise the friend has too high standards, expects too much from me liao. lets sat i meet friend A for coffee, i kept it most professional, talk abt policy. he gets angry n says it feels we're friends cos of insurance. ok so i change my way of servicing. this time, i meet the same friend A for movie n dinner, along the way during conversation, i update him. he gets annoyed when i talk abt insurance. ok fine, dun talk. i meet friend A again, this time, we talked abt holidays, movies, politics, weather. everything but insurance. den later, friend A decided to lapse my plan n switch to another because he says i didn't tell him anythin. alamak, wat am i to do?

i remember a friend told me, im only in a pond now. if small little things like tat can upset me, how am i gonna survive when im in the ocean next time? den i realised, as much as i wan to, i really cannot be superwoman n please everybody. there will bound to be ppl who will lapse policies with me bcos of invalid reasons. there will always be ppl tryin to be funny. i already considered all these factors b4 i joined the business. i know this kinda thing will happen, especially when i start to do cases with strangers. i jus didnt think these same factors will bite me in the ass via close friends. sigh.

so, ALOT of ppl ask me "is being an insurance agent really that 风光 n good money?" my answer is obvious. got good, got bad. bcos of our job nature, alot of unhappiness can only 往肚里吞. when u visit the bank, u rarely hear bank officers complain or say bad things in front of u rite? lol. thats why ppl usually only hear the good stuff, and naturally they think its easy business.

another thing i noticed. some of my working friends are still super apprehensive abt doing CPF investments. they are afraid of losing as they hear alot of stories where ppl dun make profits. hmmm.. when u strike lottery, do u go around tellin the whole world u won? unlikely. but when u buy 4D n missed one digit, will u complain abt it whenever u meet someone? affirmative. its very singaporean loh. lol.

its good to do CPF investments, well-advised ones lah. ppl think they wont lose anythin if dun do any investments, i beg to differ. how much will ur CPF reserves shrink to, after 30 years, if stay stagnant? alamak, who's not afraid of losing $? i also scared what! but really tink abt it, if i dun take any action to make my $ grow faster, i will definitely lose. DEFINITELY.

problems with pictures on the right...

hmmm... i finally watched order of the phoenix. and i felt so inspired that im reading the book again. haha. and as you can see on the right side of my page, the harry potter poster is out of shape. wrong proportions!! i duno why man. i've never had this kinda problem b4, i tot maybe it's the picture's fault, so i tried to add another CSI pic (the same one)... but turns out this newly added one will also be out of shape. why ah? now i cannot update or add new pics liao, they will all be weirdly resized. how??? *痛哭流涕*

anyway, i love this song by stanley huang. this song was out sometime in the year 2003, so not exactly new lah, haha. “音浪太强不晃, 会被撞到地上... 抽离身体放开自己... 地心引力抓不住你” haha.. so cool man.

the fun of watching drama...

i finished watching this HK drama abt a week after i bought it. hahahaha.. its 40 episodes lor! the plot is somewhat predictible, but intriguing. all thanks to the brillant performance by HK actors. i tink local drama is ok, but personally, somehow, i find the scripts and dialogues not very gd. i happened to watch the 7pm show on channel 8, wah lau, the quarrel scenes damn silly, me tv show lover also find it unbearable, means really cannot make it man! sigh. how i miss local dramas of the past. like 金牌师爷， 最后一个大侠， 迷离夜!! wah.. last time period drama very nice one leh.. now add special effects (and its not even nice effects) and weird costumes, duno become what funny funny drama. sigh. collaboration with taiwan or china, the end result also not say very good. duno why, but they jus dun appeal to me. maybe should try working with the HK side. haha.

HK drama different. especially this Heart of Greed. the quarrelings very exciting. only 2 words to say: 精彩! haha. my mom borrowed from me the drama. and she's watching it like 4 hours straight daily. duno she finished liao not. she found the ringtone of small Bao (moses chan's character) very amusing, she kept rewinding and replaying the part. hahaha!!

sunset in bali...

in case u haven't noticed, i'm back. hahaha. haven't got the time to settle my photos and luggage stuff, but i wanted to post this picture first. its a pity the clouds got in the way, but it was beautiful! i was glad my phone camera managed to capture the rays... hee! went to quite a number of temples and lotsa gorgeous sceneries... will post more pics later.

(the 1st song on my this playlist now) i think its very upbeat, altho quite techno, i like! bcos it puts me in a cheery mood. on the train ride to office this morning, i put the song on repeat mode on my ipod, and i ended up listenin to the song for 16x. hahahahah... i tink i'm addicted to the song liao. not that i have anybody to 表白 to, haha, jus think its a nice song, very suited for elva. and when i listen to it, i feel 超 high 的. 最近常常自high. hahahah!!!
