i was at my grandma's place, watching this show on channel 8... its based on a real life case, set in HK, a cooked head was found inside a lifesize doll... the show tells how the girl was killed and how the police solved the case. dismember the body is already gross n disgusting. cook the head??? and put it in the doll's head??? GROSS!
anyway, me and my cousin started talking abt murders around the world, gross movies etc.. i mentioned Saw... i watched the 1st 3 of the Saw series, while she only caught the 1st 2. i roughly told her the plot of Saw3, and i said i think the scriptwriters very smart, can come up with such an amazing plot with surprising twists.. in Saw 3, the baddie, JigSaw, wanted to test this man, who was obsessed with finding the driver who got away with knockin his son dead. this man later woke up and found himself in a rather empty warehouse. den he found other ppl in the warehouse too, these ppl were related to his son's case. like, the woman eyewitness to the hit n run, didnt report to the police, the judge who freed the driver of all charges, and the driver of cos. JigSaw's game is that, these victims are trapped n locked up. they will suffer horrible deaths, unless the man saves them.
i told my cousin how the victims were "punished", frozen to death n ended up cracking, crushed bones etc.. den suddenly, i paused. for abt 3 seconds. and i said, "i think i saw a cockroach". wah, my cousin literally flew up from the sofa and looked where i was looking. there was nothing. i tot i was seeing things. den, the cockroach appeared!!!! we were like hopping and running away and my grandma was like "what? what??" lol. grandma sprayed insecticide. but no sign of the damn insect. den suddenly, the cockroach was running out from under the table and we were running away frantically and grandma tried to piak it with her bare hands!! anyway, the insecticide started to take effect, the cockroach was on its back, dying. grandma used broom to sweep it out via the main door lah, but the carcass was swept TOWARDS us!! my cousin ran into her room. hahahhaa.. den we started to laugh ourselves silly. hahahaha.. cannot be helped lah, i'm really scared of cockroaches!! they are gross! eeekkks!!!

dinner at pariss...
my auntie and cousin came visiting from holland.. they staying here for 2 weeks, time flies and they'll be flying back this wed! hahaha.. at first i thought my cousin will be so bored that we'll end up watching a ton of movies.. but so far, we only watched one leh... "27 dresses", and she also not say VERY bored, i even play NDS with her. lol. cos her sister (also my cousin lah) came a year ago, she was SO bored, that i watched like 4 movies with her. hahahhaa.. nothing to do mah.
we went to the pariss buffet loh... i think for international buffet, pariss is not bad. except that the food is not say very nice lah.. and its super expensive! oh well, my auntie and my mom have a thing for buffets i guess. lol.
to make my money's worth... i chiong all the crayfish, baby lobster, sashimi, shark's fin, scallop, steak... eh, the cheese cakes are surprisingly yummy! oh yah, i had a difficult time eating the crayfish... my cousin took a photo while i was disecting the shell fish... so scared the thing goes flying...
SEE!! thats what my mom's capable of. really power. we were oohing and ahhing over this 完美, in-one-piece meat... woah! whereas the meat i dug out was like in shreds. hahahahaha... den below the crayfish meat is the baby lobster. so cute!

one more moment...
don't take too long to say "i love you" to the ones you love, cause time has a habit of slipping away...
out on a clear blue sky, when lighting strikes on a sunny day, just take me in and keep me from the rain...
and the words that seem so hard to say, come out when you've gone away, stay a little while and hear me say...
that i want you here tonight, and i need you by my side, for just one more moment, for just one more moment, with you...

little things that amuse me...
looking back at year 2007, i tink i have quite a boring life. i didnt accomplish any of the resolutions which i set in end 2006. LOL. oh well, whadaya know.. who was i kidding?? hahahhahaha..
i was quite gloomly last year. i tink for this year, i want to be more cheerful and happier. if tats difficult. i wan to at least be less depressed. hahaha. anyway, its only been like 10 days into 2008. and already, there were a number of things/events that really amused me.. that made me laughed.. or made me smiled from inside..
1) Barron Hilton, the chairman of Hilton hotel, reportedly donated 97% of his assets to charity!! WOW!!! and he still has abt 100 million dollars left. WOW!!! freaking rich. and imagine all the faces of the people who'll benefit from his cash! that made me smile from inside. another reason for smiling is, Paris will no longer inherit that obscene amt of money. LOL. although she still has like 5 million to inherit (oh wat the hell?!), assuming the 100 million left is shared among Barron's 20 over grandkids. (oh, btw, i'm puzzled by the western tradition? culture? of naming their kids after the father or grandfather. Barron's father, founder of Hilton hotel, is Conrad Hilton. and guess what? Paris's brother is also Conrad Hilton. Conrad's wife was Mary Barron. and surprise surprise, Paris's other brother, is another Barron Hilton! lol.)
2) i was on train to home after work on the NEL train. i boarded at outram, and this mother n daughter came in at next station. the cabin's rather empty and they were talkin so loudly. the gal received an sms, and she said to the mother "he reached home safely", to which the mother said "ok, reply Congratulations" hahahaha.. tats so funny loh! and after like 20 secs, the gal "how to spell congratulations?" the way they converse is like so funny. and then the door opens.. quite loudly. and the mother was like "wah! kenna shocked! sounds like bomb, don't you tink??" VERY LOUDLY. like wan the world to know she said the words 炸弹, which is a sensitive word lah, seeing the adverts at the stations teaching us to be vigilant against terrorism. and she made tat statement EVERY TIME THE DAMN DOORS OPEN, which was like for the next 6 stops. omg. amusing. and the door wasn't even that loud. more like a lau hong balloon kenna pricked burst. haha
3) Jay Chou. i read i-weekly or sth, and there's a advert on his new movie, kungfu slamdunk. and i just went 傻眼. hahahhaha.. he looked so stupid, almost retarded expression. so funny! the gong-gong look... even more 呆 than initial D. so unlike him loh! ok there are alot of posters for this movie, the one i saw was him with a hood over his head. haha. the amusing thing is, the NEXT page was the ad on his upcoming concert. and he's at his usual, cool. and the lighting was perfect, got dark shades and shadows on his face.. very cool lah. so its a super contrast. my conclusion: gong-gong and cool-cool 只在一线之差. LOL.
4) i finally completed the DS game, Legend of Zelda. i give the game 9.8 points out of 10!! at first i tot its just another cartoonish game. but once i got the gist and hang of it, i got addicted! its sth like a super mario game where u collect items for power etc, with 360 directional movements (as in mario only moves left to right) but Zelda is like u move all around and much more fun. i got sick of yoshi island after 10 mins. for Zelda, its very simlar to the PlayStation game, the Alundra series (which i loved and completed in NUS days), there are puzzles in between... and obstacles and strategy maze in the temples.. like u need to move stealthily to avoid the warlocks from seeing you... and fighting against the big bosses got specific way one, not jus anyhow slash. it took me several tries in order to know how to defeat the boss. sometimes its really difficult. can pull my hair out. but when i complete that mission, sense of achievement sia!!
there's one obstacle that really got me stuck. i'm supposed to shoot arrow at this eye ornament on the wall. but whenever i face it, the eye will be closed. with my back at it, den it opens. so no matter how i shoot, also cannot. i even tried to use my boomerang, throw bombs, all no success! finally, i went to read up on the game FAQ online. turns out, i had to tie a rope between 2 poles. and shoot an arrow at it. the arrow will BOUNCE BACK and hit the eye. so amusing. the arrow will bounce back off the rope!! tats so not logical! no wonder i couldnt get it. lol.
5) the coffee bean at my office building sells their cakes at 50% off after 5pm. and i bought 2 slices today. a mudpie and chocolate of a thousand leaves. enough said. lol.
6) i just ate a perfectly tasty black pepper chicken chop, which i ta-bao from my house de hawker for dinner. the sauce is ooh laa laa!! and i love black pepper. need i say more?
7) ok this one is the the ultimate. can become classic liao. i was with my friend at vivo. on the way home, i brought up the topic abt Britney Spears. with all due respect, i used to like her alot in my secondary school days. everyone in my class was "my loneliness is killing me" haha. tats how popular and likeable she was back then. den tat day, i said i really wonder wats going on with Britney? just wat the hell she thinking? sent to hospital, appeared to be influenced by drugs and booze. sigh. den i said her 2 baby boys very poor thing. ironic rite, mummy so rich, but her life is so messed up. sigh. den me and my friend started to talk abt what caused Britney to act like this.. the next part of conversation simply blew me away, i haven't smiled from inside in a really long time, that also totally made my day. hehe. the conversation was somewhat as follows...:
ME: maybe splitting up with Justin Timberlake?
friend: perhaps the divorce with her husband caused her breakdown.
ME: wah lau! when she married that Kevin-good for nothing scumbag-Federline, she's already off and messed up liao. somemore willing to bear his kids, when all he did was waste Britney's money on flashy cars and endless night clubs partying with babes and wat nonsense. to tink he receives alimony from Britney every month. wat the hell?
friend: huh? Britney's 2 kids are not Justin's meh? i heard the news that Britney is in court battling with Justin over custody of the kids leh."
*pause*
i almost rolled down the escalator.

new year resolutionsss...
happy new year!
so fast 2008... so scary! anyway, there are some things i wish to accomplish n do in the new year 2008..
1) lose weight. yep, definitely need to lose some weight. i've gained like alot of kg and inches added to the waist etc. its time i do SOMETHING. i'll wana go jogging, play squash... my goal is to lose enough to have a respectable bmi AND to be able to wear this pants of mine, which i cant fit into right now. lol.
2) to do well in my job and grow my business. honestly, my sales are ok. and put it this way, my business is growing steadily, my 2006 outperformed 2005. and i did better in 2007 than 2006. in short, so far so good. BUT, its not good enough. i havent won any major awards like MDRT (million dollar round table, a prestigious award in insurance industry). personally, i'm not crazy abt getting awards, i don't chiong sales for the sake of getting an award. i just wan to recommend ppl good products and if in the process, can quality for award, i'll be happy liao. its like a 顺便 thing lah. but, my this thinking started to have a change. what triggered this thought was when i met up with the ex "love of my life". and i realised, what i have and wat i achieved is so far behind this person! we're in the same industry, jus different company, but already own a car, rent condo apartment, and thinking of getting a NEW car (considering audi A4 or bmw somemore) when i don't even have a bicycle!! 我还在 blur blur 搞不清楚状况! 人家已经在事业是那么的高高在上, 我还真是有点在人家面前丢人现眼...
and lately, i suddenly realise wat if my friends and clients 小看我 because i didnt win anythin major? den maybe they think im lousy and dont trust me and wont refer ppl to me? so i started to tink, maybe if i have an award or sth, my clients will tink better of me? or maybe they'll feel good too, because its them who've helped me achieve the award..
so i hope to 攀上高峰.
3) earn more money. more accurate description would be: have more savings. lol. alot of ppl tell me not everythin is abt money. i agree. but when bills come, stomach hungry, when im sick kena illness hospitalised... everythin! u tell me if its not abt money? feel free to disagree with me. i used to tink the poor can also live happily. yeah, sure, but in singapore? i dont tink so. i have to be more practical. i cannot spend (waste) $$$ on ppl who dont deserve it. i cannot spend too much on shopping and things i dont need. i already past the stage where "the more clothes the better" or "blindly buy things for the sake of material satisfaction". shopping to me 适可而止 can liao.
4) travel and holiday. ill wana bring my mom and just holiday have fun and see the world. starting with HK in late feb. i havent been to HK and she's been wanting to go there again. we jus need to wait for my bro's confirmation on his ORD date den i can go book tickets liao.
5) find a bf, partner, love one, watever. guy, girl, anyone! to be not lonely anymore, i need to keep my options open. lol. few months back, a friend of mine wants to "hook me up" with a colleague of hers. and she started to tell me weird things and ask funny questions. but the meet up hasn't happened leh. haha.
6) again, save money!!! i'm moving house, end of the year. so i need to have enough for renovation and the furniture etc. i saw at departmental stores that mattresses costs thousands!! siao! luckily i saw at ikea its only hundreds. thank goodness!! imagine if i need to spend 90% of my furniture budget on a damn mattress. kek sim!
ok those are the six major things i wan to do in 2008. of cos there are other small little ones here n there, but these 6 are my priorities. hahaha
