Bad Day

Anything that could possibly go wrong, went wrong.
Anything that could possibly irritated me, irritated me.
Anything that could possibly make my day bad, made my day bad.

First of all, I had a nightmare! Crazy nightmare lah. Lately, I've been having a lot of dreams of animals leh. Last week, I had a dream that someone gave me a rabbit for my birthday. Scene was in uncleJ's old house. Surroundings more or less the same. Then the rabbit was free to run around, in and out of the gate, until it decided to pee next to the main door. Someone in the dream got so mad at the rabbit but I rushed in to defend the poor helpless rabbit. Then I woke up. So that was it.

Then today was another dream, erm... more like nightmare. In the nightmare, I owned 2 dogs and 1 furry cat. Brought them out for a walk. The 2 dogs were happily playing with each other at the side of the road. The cat felt lonely and decided to wander away. Wandered onto the road, I saw it and quickly tried to catch it back. Caught the cat and brought it back to the pavement together with the dogs. Then the cat felt bored again and walked on to the road again. I tried to catch it, but it managed to struggle free cause it was so furry and it dashed across the road. Unfortunately, it was run over by a tank. Don't ask me how come a tank was there... I also can't explain. Anyway, I think its a tank or something with those kind of wheels. Somehow, the cats head was caught in the wheels and it got squashed. After the tank moved on, all thats left was the unsquashed cat's body lying on the road. I felt so guilty. Felt so bad, emotions ran high and I was wailing my lungs out.

I woke up only to find myself crying. I told myself, its just a nightmare and I promptly went back to sleep peacefully.

Woke up and went to prepare to go to the dentist. I was late. Then to make things worst, the train stopped at the station and the announcement came on that there would be a delay. Then by the time it reached the interchange, and I walked to change trains, I missed the one by just 30 seconds. Darn! That 30 seconds cost me an extra 8 minutes of waiting time.

Doc checked my braces and said that one of it has been dislodged. Scared me lah! I thought he was talking to me and telling me that my tooth has been dislodged. I think I "huh?" very loudly. Hahaa.. But he was actually talking to the nurse to ask her to get new replacement bracket for me. I had to endure extra spine chilling things cause my teeth were moving too fast. So doc needed to put a stopper to keep it together. Asked what colour I want, I said I wanted green and orange for the festive mood. I know orange isn't really the christmas colour, but then, I don't want red lah, red leave for next month for Chinese New Year. With the stopper in place, I was done and could leave. Doc told me cause of the stopper, he said, "you should only eat soft, small pieces of food for the time being." When I heard the words 'time being', I asked how long would that be since my birthday and X'mas is around the corner. He replied, at least 2-3 months. MONTHS?!?!?!??? Did I hear wrongly? I couldn't believe my ears and wanted to confirm again. "Har!!! Months ar?" Ya... I didn't hear wrongly.

Went to have lunch with godma. Wah liao eh... I practically can't eat anything in the food court except sliced fish with rice. Cause of the stopper, my mouth can't close properly, so can't chew. I just put swallow my rice without chewing lor. Suddenly, rice is my new best friend.

Then went to those bread toast shop. Saw they had this cupcakes which I used to eat when I was a little girl. So I wanted to try. As I was queueing, godma came and told me something bout soft bread. So... Thinking that she was referring to the cupcakes, I ordered soft bread. Then I saw them talking the bread and placing it on the toaster. I knew it was wrong and too late to change. But the bread is quite nice.

Walked around the Orchard with godma. Went to pay up for the workshop event. Then went to the Kino to find some books. After that, godma left and I had about 2 hours to kill before meeting Lynn for the makeover.

Decided to go to the library. Couldn't find the books I wanted, ended up reading other types of books. Till Lynn called to say she would be late and I should go for the earlier slot.

My first reaction when the sales person did my foundation was YUCK! They were using this pathetic latex sponge measuring less than 2cm on each side which was overused. Clearly any idiot can tell that they never change it. I mean like for hygiene reasons, if you wanna use such a small sponge, at least change new one lah. Or if you use a big sponge, use the clean sides for each person lor. But no choice, before I could even say anything, she was already applying foundation even before the toner/moisturizer could even dry off! Problem number two cause that may cause clogged pore! Wah liao!
Other than that, the makeover was quite nice, I love the glittery eyeliner.

Then Lynn had to leave to go elsewhere. I went to buy some bread for dinner.

Damn it... I got accused of trying to cheat them. See, I was buying just one item at $1.30. Then when I approached the counter, there were 2 cashiers there. There were some promo items where you buy 2 at $2 instead of usual price. So I asked one of them if I could mix items, they said can. So I took one of each. Then it was my turn to pay. The one who packed my items told the other one what were I picked. Items came up to $2.50. I paid $5 and got back only $0.50 change. So after taking the change which was much lesser, obviously I would move aside to check the receipt instead of hogging the cashier area right? Receipt showed that I was charged for my first item at $1.30 and the full price of 1 promo item at $1.20. Total came up to $2.50 instead of $3.30. So according to the receipt I should get back $2.50 change mah. Then I went back to find the cashier and told her the mistake. She double checked my items and said that I should pay her back $0.80 instead. I said that she only returned me $0.50 why should I pay more? She made a big fuss out of it even when I told her nicely. Then the other cashier asked her whats going on. Insisted that she gave me $2.50 change and accused me of keeping the $2 before coming back to check. Bloody hell. Accuse me of petty theft? That made me so pissed that I wouldn't even let the whole thing even if its just 10cents. Cause if I did, that would really make me look like I'm trying to cheat them which I wasn't.

The cashier is a bit brainless! I mean, think of it from an employee's point of view, if you undercharge a customer, the customer can happily and quietly walk away. At the end of the day of accounting and the amount doesn't tally, maybe you have to top up the extra from own pocket right? So if customer comes to tell you that the amount has been charged wrongly, shouldn't you be happy that they are honest enough and that you don't have to pay the company for your mistake?
True that sometimes customers may not be always right. But it is probably basic manners to ask properly instead of indirectly accusing customer of committing petty theft immediately right?
A bit brainless is probably an understatement.
So much for PM Lee's vision for better customer service.

The glitter from the face was damn hard to remove. I cleaned off the make up very well, wiped my face twice, scrubbed my face once, cleansed it twice and still its there. PoWeR!

Window Shopping

Lesson was on colour. I don't know how come they didn't cover the part where they teach you how to match eyeshadow with the clothes. They only teach which eyeshadow colour would goes well with another.

After lesson, pretty tired, don't have anywhere so head home. But before that, went window shopping at the mall. Wow, suddenly the mall seems so different. So many shops under renovation at the same time. New shops sprouting out.

Finally got the chance to buy my file, then went to shop somemore. Ohh... I bought this eye wash thingy, its a solution which you are supposed to pour into this mini cup and place it around your eye and let the eyes "swim" in it.

Went to NTUC to compare cereal contents. Damn bo liao right? Yep, I know!

Then came home and rested a while, went back to shop at NTUC. Bought so much stuff, carry till my hands felt like breaking.

Got my turtles new type of food, but they don't seem to like it, maybe not used to it. Poor things, always eat the same type of food for so long, sure will get bored. So must give them variety.

Stupid Arcade Machines

Went to school today. Learnt how to apply make up for male and elderly people. Erm, cause my bro has so kindly agreed on being my model to practise, on condition that dinner is my treat. He didn't want just any kind of food, so no food court, no fast food, no cheap stuff. He wanted Cafe Cartel. So I said ok, we order the ribs to share then fill ourselves on bread. But no lor! That bugger retorted that he could finish the serving of ribs by himself and that will probably not want to share with me.

Anyway, since he was only coming after lunch, I just slacked around class, chatting the time away. Then he came, so I can start practising. Somehow either I forgot or skipped steps or guy's make up really like not much difference.

To borrow his face very expensive leh. We ended up eating at Manhatten Fish Market cause I was more tempted to eat that then Cartel. Dinner was yummy! I kept on saying I wanted to watch movie. But too bad, no interesting show to watch.

So we ended up going to the arcade. I think he purposely don't bring money when he left home. I ended up paying everything. Whatever games we played also I pay. Hmm... Actually its just that I haven't played arcade games in quite a while, so just feel like trying for fun. Those machines where u play based on luck to see if you can win prizes like PSP, Nokia 6680, 6630, cameras and such. As much as it seems like it is based on luck, I doubt it lah. Its probably the damn program's codes. Irritating, make me spend a few bucks trying it out.

Then there are those machines where you supposed to position the clamping things to pick up your prize. They are so jian can? I tried 3 machines, 3 all different kinds.
First kind, they put tape so that you cannot go beyond a certain distance then you can't pick the thing up. So I wasn't even able to get to the prize I want.
Second kind, the clamp thing is so weak, its impossible to even lift the soft toy out. There was this toy which was so close to the drop off hole. My aiming was perfect! But cause the thing was so weak, it was just like stroking the toy more than pinching it up.
Third kind, the jerk when lifting the toy is so hard, it makes it drop down again. This one, me and bro tried few times each and our catches were again perfect. This one lifted. But once it lifted the toy up and going to the drop off hole, there would be like this spring effect which will cause the toy to drop off.
Damn it!
Next time go arcade, don't bother playing those by luck or catch prize games. Waste money and only inflicts self-agony. Play those other games still got entertainment and not so pek cek.

Busy Weekend

Wow... My whole weekend burnt! I didn't do my homework as I'm supposed to do. I had other plans.

Friday:
Had the hair styling course today. Wah liao... Its getting tougher and tougher. I can't really catch up. Further more, my eyesight sucks. I think contact lens degree need to change already. I can't see clearly! Lesson was on braiding, I can only do with 3, can't get the hang of doing with 2 or 4.

Came back home, slacked a bit then watched 'Saw' at midnight with Bros. Since 'Saw 2' coming out soon, so must watch the first part beforehand. Ehh... I don't find it scary. Its more of the gross kind off show. Basically, the show summary is that if you get to know the wrong person, you'll wake up finding yourself in some shitty place and having to kill others just to stay alive.

Saturday:
Woke up on time, supposed to prepare to meet Py cause we were going to Sitex at the Expo to look for printer. bro wanted to cook lunch and he wasn't really sure how to cook, so gotta tell him. Then after that he made this baked mushrooms topped with cheese, it was good!

So in the end, we were supposed to meet 10.30am, ended up pushing back to 11.30am. Then walked around Tampines Mall before heading over.

Sitex was maddness! The place was crowded, flyers being thrust into my hands like nobody's business, it was havoc! Anyway, only went with Py cause both of us searching for the same thing. Then going in too big a group is quite hard to move around.

Found the ideal printer. Although daddy gave me money to buy it this morning, I felt that I should consult him and Bro first before buying. Py also same case, gotta consult sister first. So our main aim was to collect brochures.

After that we were damn bo liao. Took the train from Expo to Tanah Merah then to Pasir Ris. Then from Pasir Ris to Raffles. From Raffles to our different destination. We went the extra stops just so that we can get seats to rest our tired legs.

Went to Godma's house. Grandma cooked nasi lemak cause I missed her cooking and requested for it. It is so so so so nice! I love the chilli! Cause I asked grandma not to make it too hot. Mmmm... Sedap! The egg, sambal prawn and ikan bilis was just as good!

Sunday (Today):
Followed daddy to church, then headed off to Sitex again. This time to buy the printer after deciding. Heh.. At least got transport so I don't have to lug the whole heavy thing back home myself. Since dad's sending me, help Py buy also lor.

We waited in line for more than 15 minutes just to get into the carpark. The place was maddness again lah. Blehhh... Was hoping the price will drop. Sadly, it didn't. Then still no extra freebies except an umbrella. Everyone squeezing here and there. Dad also didn't want to stay long. So we just bought and left.

Bro asked me to test the printer. So while we were setting up, then he was reading the manual, I went to the sofa and just plonk down and slept. Simply too tired already. Only had 20 minutes to nap before going for Salsa.

Last lesson today. Class was also earlier cause Lynn had to attend wedding dinner and asked if it was possible to push forward. We actually learn more than what is supposed to be taught cause we're fast learners.
No lah... Crapping lah. Cause we don't have any guys in the class so nobody need to learn the guy's steps, so faster lor.
At the end of the lesson, teacher asked if we were keen to go on to intermediate. Ehh.. I didn't want cause no partner mah. Then Lynn said she will do guy's role next time lor. Why? Cause I'm shorter.
-___-
Damn her... Throughout the lesson she kept on having to remind me that I'm shorter.
Haha... But never mind, I am short lah. Resigned to fate long ago.

After that, she came over to my place. Supposed to help her do make up for her friend's wedding dinner. My dining room light a bit dim so quite hard to see. By right, the best lighting to apply make up in my house is my room. But then, room quite damn messy and I don't want to keep bending down to the floor to take my stuff. So just made do with the dimmer light. Due to the shortage of time, I was feeling a bit kan cheong. Forgot some steps which she reminded me off. Had to redo the lips cause she wasn't used to the colour. After that it was fine. Anyway, I think overall she looked very different.

Met Ade for dinner. Then walked around the mall which looks so unfamiliar. So many shops closing for renovation, changing hands, etc. But good lah, at least some newer shops to patronize. Haha!

Oh yes, before I forget, Happy Birthday to Py.

Slacked

Wheeee... Another lazy day at home.

Made myself some garlic bread for lunch. Yummy!

Was so bored that I steamed my own face and did a mini facial. Blasting the radio so loud cause nobody is at home. Radio is in my room the volume was so loud, walking to any part of the house also can hear it.

Was slouching on the couch and listening to my mp3 while starring blankly in the ceiling. How peaceful. Deciding if I should do my homework or not. But I decided against it. Turned on mtv and watched the European Music Awards for a while.

After doing the laundry, I went to take a nap. Napping during a lazy afternoon is the best substitute for retail therapy when the bank is running dry.

Fishy Business

I didn't sleep very long last night. I woke up quite early, considering that I didn't set my alarm. bro was still at home, not intending to go out cause he needed to study. I didn't want to go out and buy lunch either. I'd rather cook.

Heh... Cooking without recipe can sometimes result in disaster. Especially if you are not sure and happily set the microwave to 10 minutes on high and busy doing something else and forget to check. Overcooked fish taste hard and a bit rubbery while mushrooms and garlic just become chao tah. Tastebuds wish they could go on strike. Stomach wish it didn't have to digest it. I just wanted to quickly get the meal over and done with asap. I dread to even finish that 1 piece of fish.

Well, this was what really happened few weeks ago. I heard Bro saying that to cook the fish, he set it 10 minutes on the microwave. So I followed thinking that it has been tested and correct. So wrong! When I checked with him, he said ya... 10 minutes but not on high! On the preset function! ARgggh!

So this afternoon, I didn't want to follow anybody but myself. Cooked it my way, my style, my estimation. If its another disaster, heh heh, at least I got my other bro to share the unappetizing food with. Nah na nahhh. But I'll try my best lah.

When all the food was ready, I called him out to eat. But I think he didn't like the soup. The soup was those instant mix kind which came in the form of powder then you add your own water. He kept on eating the fish. Judging from the way he ate, 2 pieces of fish for both of us wasn't enough. I think my agarism for the timing and the seasoning were pretty good. La-di-dahh...

After clearing up, I slacked in front of my com surfing net for the whole day. Then at night, dad came home with my mail. Yes! Finally! The medical concealer which Conz bought for me has arrived! What a relieve!!! I thought it was lost in the mail cause I should have received it on thursday or friday, latest also saturday. Anyway, the envelope was torn almost into half already. The concealer was small and it could have easily slipped out and got lost totally. But thank goodness that it didn't. It was still snuggly placed in the envelope and undamanged. It took so long to arrive cause the good people at SingPost went to place it in a plastic bag, sealed it and then send it out.

So I'm like thinking, what if it was a cheque? Or worst still, cash, gift vouchers or other important paper thin stuff? I'll probably cry... But since its not, lets rejoice! Yeyyy!!

Getting Later And Later

Yesterday:
My bad habit is returning. I'm turning up later and later for class. Teacher asked us to DIY first then lesson will start. After the demo and all that, we were supposed to do on each other. I don't know why but everyone kept asking me the same question, "did you go and perm your eyelash?" Answer is of course "No". I've sort of mastered the skill of curling my own eyelash. But not yet for curling other people's eyelash. I'm more confident than before, but still not as confident as I am aiming to be.

*I think my memory is failing... I can't seem to recall what happened yesterday in class leh...*

Never mind, shall talk bout after class. I actually asked Lynn to accompany me down to Suntec to get the pair of shoes at Charles & Keith. But cause my lesson ended early, I decided to go down and walk walk alone first. Well, I finished walking from Robinsons to Citylink to Marina Square then to Suntec. Then it was still early lah. So I called and asked if Lynn had already left or not. If not, I'll probably go get my shoes and leave. But she left liao but a bit troublesome to comedown, so in the end, didn't. Feel bad cause she actually dropped her work just to meet me. But ok lah, at least she gets more rest.

Anyway, to find the shop was damn hard lah! I followed the directory and went to look for it. I'm not a street idiot so I know how to see directories and I got a pretty sense of directions. But after carrying my huge bags around for almost half an hour in Suntec, I wanted to give up. Went to the information counter to get directions but also couldn't find it. Why? Cause the unit number 138 and 140 are next to each other. But 139 which was next to 150+ units lor. According to the directory, it should be in Tower 3 but it was in Tower 2. Tell me lah! How to find!?!?!

After that, I was so tired, that I was lazy to walk to the MRT to take a train back where I had to stand due to the peak hour. I rather slack at the bus stop to wait for the bus.


Today:
Nothing much, just that this time, I was really late for lesson. It was raining and I felt damn reluctant to leave my house. Don't want my box to get wet so I actually placed a plastic bag over it. Wah liao... Look so weird. Haha! Reached class, teacher's assistant start the lesson le. Talking bout don't know what thing. I also missed it. Forgot to ask my friends. Whoops.

Again people ask me bout my eyelash. Haha! OK... Never mind. Forgot to hand up homework cause I forgot to do. I seem to forget a lot of stuff recently hor? Darn...
Later I'll mention bout my classic case of forgetfulness.

Lesson ended quite early. Think everyone was quite tired.

K, the classic case. Just now in the evening, dad boiled water and went to bathe, leaving me and Bro to listen out for the boiling water then turn off. He came out and asked me if the water has boiled, cause he knows I'm forgetful and later forget to off the fire and Bro may be too engrossed in his studies for his exam tomorrow. I said nope, didn't off. Asked Bro who also said didn't off. Dad wondered if we ran out of gas, so went to the kitchen to check. Ehh... Off leh. Bro said he didn't off, I said didn't off, can't be my dad cause he just came out... So who was it? Then dad said, "just now you were using the phone in the kitchen lah... Maybe you just off it while you are on the line." I still can question him, "is it? I only remember drinking water in the kitchen. Not turning off the fire leh." Until now, I still don't know if I really did. I forgot leh... Serious!

Heyyyy Macarena

Met aunt for lunch after church. Ohh.. She gave me a bag of those stones and necklaces, she said I can take it apart and assemble it however I deem fit. Cool sia! I love the turquoise coloured stones.

Came back home, initally wanted to head on down to Charles & Keith to choose the pair of shoes I reserved. But after thinking of it, I rather save transport. Haha! A bit pointless to go down all the way, collect and go for Salsa.

Stayed at home, chat on the net, play msn games and basically, multi tasking.

Went for Salsa after that. I was considered early cause Lynn was late and the other girl can't go. So was talking to the instructor's assistant. Asking a lot of questions and all that bout how she started. Then after that she mentioned that they were going to some Latin night thingy after class. If interested can go take a look.

Wahh... Lesson damn dizzy lah. I think I couldn't really get the moves right. Ha! Like by luck kind lor. Then they kept on laughing cause one moment can then next moment can't. But never mind, ai zhai lah. After a while managed to get it right, but still can't configure tune my head to not end up dizzy. Ehh... After studying IT for so long, it seems very natural to use the word "configure" when you want to change/set something. Wahaha!

After class, the 4 of us just stood there and talk lor. Then the instructor and his assistant keep thinking that we are very much underage and we cannot go into clubs, cannot do a lot of things. So we were like reminding them that we're already 20 lor! *Ahem* I'm still 19 coming 20 only. The only thing I haven't done which will be against the law is to watch R(A) stuff.

Anyway, me & Lynn decided to tag along to the dance club to see the Latin night thingy. First song which we heard when we went in was "Macarena". We couldn't stand it and burst out laughing cause that is so way back liao lor... That song was hot in 1996. Not 2005! But what to do, latin mah... Haha! I am still laughing as I type this entry when I think of the song's music video.

Seeing all the aunties and uncles dance to the beat, wahh... some really very energetic lor! The place was like Zouk or Chinablack to the above 40s. We were easily the youngest guest inside there. Don't know why, all of a sudden, the music changed. Changed to live performance. They were singing those chinese oldies. Ehh... The both of us quite bored there lah. Hoping the live performance will end fast. But it didn't. By the time it ended, Lynn was quite tired liao and wanted to leave. I wanted to watch the next few songs which were of Rock & Roll. Then still no Latin lah! We decided to finish up our beer and leave. Why got beer? Cause the instructor treat lor. But then before that they were thinking whether its legal for us to drink. Will our parents mind us drinking, what if we go home then got the alcohol smell blah blah blah, treating us like small kids. Wahaha!

Once out of there, we headed over to the Pasar Malam cause it was the last day liao. Wanted to buy some food back for my Bros. Then don't know why I asked Lynn if she ever tried the smelly dou fu before. Then after much talk bout it, she decided to try it! When we were standing there waiting for it, she kept tugging me and complaining its damn smelly, gross and all that. Told her that before we get our food, its still not too late to back out. Cause although I find it nice, I don't want to eat all by myself. But she didn't back out. She just stood there pinching her nose.

We ate as we walked to the bus stop. She dare not try lah. So again, I must eat first to show her that won't die lah. Then she tried and immediately liked it cause the taste is totally different from the smell. Sure, the smell may stink, but the taste... is mmm-mmmm-good!

Too bad, now that Lynn likes it, the pasar malam last day so she won't get to eat another round of it so soon.

Tiring day today... Time to sleep.

Worms

Stayed home the whole day, slacking my time away. Relax... Didn't really feel like doing anything. Tried to do the beads thingy, but damn tiring. See the tiny tiny stuff, wah... see till blur blur.

Decided to take my box pictures to put into the auction site and hope to sell it. Wahaa! Then Bro and uncle saw it, quite interested to know how to go about doing it.

Anyway, bro's gf came over, they bought this pack of sunflower seeds coated with chocolate from those candy shop and happily ate it. Until don't know how long, then they saw that the pack got weavers and worms crawling out of the sunflower seeds. Damn gross lah!

Took pictures out of it. Even got video of the worm crawling in the seed, can't put up here cause too big file.

So after dinner which godma cooked and brought over, they went back to the shop. Told him not to settle for anything less than $100. Be it in cash or vouchers. But then, he came back and said he only got a refund of $6.70. Wah liao! He said they were already so apologetic, so he didn't ask for more. Wah liao! -_-"

Ice Cream Cravings

Hair styling lesson today. I was engrossed with my attempts to get the hair right. But the more I do, the more it differs from the teacher's one. End up some funny messy style. Eh... Took pictures, can compare but I've no time to put it up.

Lesson ended early. Came home and slack. Wa liao... The buyer already received her stuff I sent out yesterday. I still haven't received my stuff which Conz sent out on Wednesday. Hopefully its not lost in the mail leh...

Went to meet Ade for dinner. I got craving for Swensens ice cream. I was hungry so took the main course. By the time I finished, I'm full liao... No ice cream. Sian lah... Didn't satisfy my craving.

Walked around and I decided to get a black pair of Charles & Keith shoes by the recommendation of Lynn. They got one size bigger and smaller than what I wanted. So I couldn't decide. Had to ask them to make reservation, then go another outlet to try.

See No Buy

Surfed net. Prepare the stuff to send out to the buyer. Wanted to go to the bank, but because I drag and drag, by the time bank closed, I was still at home.

Went to pick up the jigsaw puzzle frame for Lynn all the way at Parkway. Then after that went all the way to Bugis to meet her. Looking for a pouch and black shoes for future assignments.
I wanna buy boots lah! They look more stylo, more class and can probably last longer. The are designs available here are nice. But price also very nice lah. Overseas designs are much nicer, sold cheaper but how to buy? I'm not going any seasonal countries any time soon. I can't ask people to help me buy without trying. Can't buy over the net without trying either.

Anyway, I decided that I won't buy it, cause its so not practical to wear in the hot and humid climate. But still... Its so NICE!!!

Aimed the pouch already, now just looking around to see if will find anything which is nicer than that.

Ate at Yoshi, then headed home.

Onlined Whole Day

Wahaha! Damn happy cause I slept for 12 hours. Mood very good today.

Surfed net whole day. Entertaining someone who was interested in one of my item in my auction page. She kept on trying to bargain for lower price. I'm selling it at $15 excluding postage of $1, she wants to buy at $10 including postage. Siao boh??? Anyway, after much bargaining, I was only willing to let go at $15 inclusive of postage. Wahaha! Cause today I'm in good mood mah. So ok lah, I absorb the cost of postage. Otherwise, days in normal/bad mood, I will just reply "sorry prices are fixed."

Actually I was trying badly to get rid of that top cause it was a wrong order on my ex-colleague's part. So its not even my and I had to pay for it. Then I was trying to cover at least half the lost or hopefully breakeven. Ok lah, at least I only lose out about $2. Sure beats hanging in my cupboard and few years more it will turn yellow right?

Trying hard to clear my emails in my account. Last time either forget to delete or felt like keeping. Now don't care... Delete! DeLeTe! DELETE! But I think yahoo was lagging a bit leh. I had to open 3 windows to view and delete emails. Doing simultaneously helped. Otherwise, I think delete till tomorrow also can't finish.

Computer acting up and slowing down leh. Don't know why. I didn't even install much stuff yet.

Conz said she will send out my medicine concealer out today. The one she helped me buy the other day but not willing to send out without bubble wrapping it. So hopefully I can get it soon cause my pimples are just popping out like hell. Cheaper to send out than we go meet each other to take. Furthermore she stopped working for a while for taking exams, otherwise can ask aunt to be middle person.

Godma said that Godfather got me 3 magazines from Hongkong. Wahaha... I didn't expect so many. I was expecting 1 or at most 2. Now I got 3. Goody goody! More variety to choose from.

Escargots Again

Today I left house a bit late. But good, at least I met Ym on the train. Haha! Journey wasn't so boring cause got someone to talk to.

Then after I got off and walking to the train, I met Hj. From the back view, I was wondering if it was her. Hairstyle, way of walking, type of clothing and shoe also look like. Only the bag she was carrying wasn't her style. Then she flipped her hair and immediately I confirmed it was her. So walked up and called her. Ha! Another person to accompany me for erm, just 2 stops lah.

Anyway, I didn't really want to go out after class, but change of plans today. Going out in the evening.

Yesterday I was told to volunteer for the demo today. But I quietly sat at the back and pretend nothing happened. Then after that teacher realised and I had to sit there for the demo.
After that we had to do on each other. Then cause me and another girl tried different colour, teacher said we should have just stuck to the colours shown cause what we used was actually a different style. But how should we have known mah.

After lunch came back and played a game of heart attack. This time is different. We are only given a few minutes to do a certain step on each other then gotta switch. If we don't make it within that time frame, then our partner will look weird with just one side done. So gotta do fast. Training us up on our speed.

By the time we were done, it was already about 4pm. We could leave. But then since I know I'll only be meeting Lynn at bout 6.30pm I still had so much time. So I decided to play with make up. Earlier in the morning, I kept on asking my classmate to put blue colour as blusher. But she didn't want. So since I wanted to try how was the effect like, I decided to try it myself. Then after the teacher's assistant wanted to talk to the whole class, was a bit paiseh so I was standing there with one hand covering my cheeks.

Done talking, I carried on with my playing. Classmates thought why I go do that? I said I was just doing it for fun. Then a few of them kept on saying I should add this add that for more ghostly effect.

Presenting... Ru Hua & The Vamp
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

For those who don't know who is Ru Hua, well, high 5! I also don't know who is that. I only know is some character from some variety show which I never watched.

Anyway, we were supposed to act fierce and angry. But we couldn't do it cause we kept on laughing just as the shot was about to be taken. I don't think I look fierce. I think if I'm a real vampire, going to suck someone's blood, that person will probably burst their guts after lauging out too hard. Then I got to take a straw and suck out the blood or lick the blood from the ground.

Since I was still so early and had so much time, I slowly drag and drag. Oh and I saw Jas working at some roadshow. So I slacked there to kill time and it sure beats shopping cause I can put my heavy bag down. Then slowly made my way to meet Lynn.

She told me she was going to change train at Outram, so I calculated that she will be at the front of the train when she takes to City Hall. But then she itchy legs lor, had to go change at Dhoby. Said she was at the back of the train. I only had one minute to walk from the front to the back. When she called me to go in, I went in but she wasn't there. So quickly rushed out. Then she who was also on that train rushed out. Then we realised we got on the right train, but she was at the front, I was told to walk to the back. Wa liao... That train we got on was so empty with seats. The next one we took was packed like hell. Double wa liao!

She went to get her jigsaw which she reserved. We're buying it as her birthday present since we don't really know what she wants at this time. Then hungry liao. Went to eat at Phin's Steakhouse. Wahaha... They served escargots leh...! I want! I want! Lynn never try before so she wasn't too keen on it thinking that escargots are the slimy snails we see on the ground. But after that, she decided she was game to try. Yeahhh!!!

When the escargots came, I took one and tried. Wahaha! Nice nice! But too bad they already took out the shells. Otherwise, I think its quite fun to dig them out. Lynn still a bit hesitant whether to try or not. Kept asking me how was the taste like. Acutally, the taste not that strong. Garlic taste stronger. The feeling of it is a bit bouncy not rubbery like sotong. Finally she tried and she liked it.

The fish and chips there is good too! Although its fried, the fish inside the batter is still quite moist. I wouldn't mind going to place again. But maybe then, I'll try the steak.

Anyway, dinner was her treat. Cause she said ever since she got her pay, she haven't treated me. Plus I got no bloody income. Heh... How nice.

We searched the whole place but couldn't find the shoe shop I wanted to go to. She checked on the net before hand and said that its stated there. Then I guess probably the website wasn't updated. So since we can't find the shop, she promised to go down Bugis with me another day to check it out. Hopefully still got the sale.

Sleepy In Class

Quick update before I go off to bed. I've got 10 minutes to blog only.

Today's lesson was interesting. Playing with eyeshadow colours. Haha! Teacher pointed out that my eyes were the challenging kind. Looks like I'm the only one cause the rest all double eyelid. Heh!

Today's hot topic was asking each other's age. Getting shocked that who and who and who don't look their age. Some look chao lao. Some got kiddy face. I seem to fall under the latter.
The other hot topic was asking occupation. I realised that not many people are like me rotting on most days. Haha! Whoops. Some working full-time, mostly part-time. Me? No-time. Wahaha!

So after lunch, we were given only 45 minutes to complete the whole face. Still haven't trained up to that level, so I just lacked a few steps to the complete look. Not bad lah. Anyway, while doing for my friend, she slept. Then when it was her turn, it was my turn to sleep. Yah... Really slept. Damn shiok lor.

Evening, went to meet up with the buyer for my last gift with purchase bag which I managed to sell off the internet. Wahaha... Extra money for me. But not that much lah. Only $12. Enough to pay for the stuff I need to buy tomorrow.

Ok lah. 10 minutes up. Time to sleep!

Drinks & Dance

So last night, was supposed to meet Lynn at Orchard at 10pm. I was a bit late. Nobody brought camera. -_-" By the time she called me, I was already reaching so was impossible to go home and take.

Celebration was held at ChinaBlack. Managed to get table in the VIP area so didn't have to squeeze with other people. First time clubbing with Serene, Siewling and David. Though I was hoping more familiar people would turn up, sadly, they didn't. The rest were Lynn's friends from elsewhere.

They order drinks like water like that. Started to play the 5-10 game. I was still newbie so I was damn slow at it. They say my maths fail cause I call for 5, I put out 10. Haha! Anyway, most of the time, I was trying to figure out whats going on. My night vision is pretty bad lah. Especially in that kind of lighting. "My astig is leaving me clueless." Sounds familiar? Haha! Quote from the advertisement.

12 midnight, got the cake out and sang birthday song and cut cake. The birthday song was actually drowned in the loud music.
Happy Birthday Lynn!~

Anyway, it was the most I've drank so far. Though it may not seem a lot compared to the rest but luckily I wasn't drunk. Not high also leh...

We left early cause David started to puke. After going down for fresh air, he stopped for a while. Then we got on the cab and it started again. Think he drank quite a lot cause he was going around asking people to bottoms up and cause of the drinks from the 5-10 games.

Had only a few hours to sleep before waking up to go for mass.
Damn tired but priorities must still be maintained. Then had lunch with dad and bro before heading home and straight for the couch.

Woke up in time for Salsa. This lesson was a lot of turning this time I really cannot take it liao. Very dizzy. Haha! Try one time, rest a while then try again. My problem was cause I kept on looking down on the floor while turning. So after that when I tried not to concentrate on my feet, I didn't get dizzy but my feet movements get a bit mixed up. But I'll try my best!

Lots Of Pictures

Wow... Haven't blogged for a few days. Been a bit busy. Finally got the chance to upload the pictures too!

Wednesday, after a hectic day at the Fashion Event, I slept from 2am till 2.30pm. Wahaha... 12 hours of beautiful sleep. Felt absolutely great!
Here are the pics taken while I was there.
These are 2 of the few models which I did make up for.

I think they are also Thai but they are not the models, they are dancers. Making the dance look so easy!

In the evening, went for the class which I missed yesterday. Something wasn't really right with me. I felt like not doing anything, I didn't wish to step out of my house, but I couldn't. So I forced myself to get ready to leave. It started to pour. I felt even worst, felt like just staying at home completly. But I dragged myself out in the rain, until I reached the mall, saw the long queue of taxis waiting at the stand. Hahaha! I went to draw some money and hopped into one. I think I better go memorize which is the fastest way to get to my school cause I felt like the driver purposely went to make a detour since its a one way street at Orchard, instead of turing out from another route so that I'll reach my school quite fast and won't have to pay so much.

Anyway, I was sitting in another class with all unknown people cause I reached early. Felt a bit weird, but lucky some people from my own class also attended the evening one with me. Then, itchy fingers again, bought some concentrated essence thingy for the face. Haha... When you go for facials or whatever, they will try to psycho you to buy it at bout $15-$20, I got it at erm, $6.
La-laa-laaa...


Thursday. What did I do? Stay at home and tried to copy my notes into a book. But then, I've accumulated too much to be done within a day. Tsk tsk.

Tv, tv and more tv programs lined up for me to watch.


Friday, went for my hair course. We got our manequin head, aka dolly or better referred to by our teacher as our girlfriend to practise on. Learn how to do buns and from there create our own styles.
The Singapore Airline girl style

Following the notes to create this, don't know what twisted style.

I was quite tired already. Wasn't really listening and wasn't feeling good. Blindly following the teacher's style, don't know what style.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The last style I did... Erm, teacher teach one way, I didn't listen so I ended up doing my own way.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Met up with Grace, Hj, Xl, Yl in the evening. Too bad Lynn couldn't make it. I had to lug my big bag of stuff from my hair course around. Anyway, we decided to go for ktv. Went to Kbox and sang the night away into the wee hours. They bargained for an additional hour cause 3 hours wasn't enough. So as long as nobody came to get the room, we could stay and sing on. Even after our 4th hour, nobody came to chase us out. So we stayed on for the 5th hour. Anyway, some pics we took.

1st attempt - Failed! I was slowly walking back to the seat even after setting the timer.

2nd & 3rd attempt - Not too bad. But lets try again.

By the way, my sugar level would probably shot up to the max! I only drank plain water in the morning. The rest of the day, was grass jelly, lemon tea, sprite, white grape. Blehh... My blood was probably saturated with sugar. Was feeling quite bad that I came back and downed 4 full cups of plain water straight down. Bloated like don't know what. In the middle of the night that I kept on waking up to drink even more. But I felt better in the morning sugar in the bloodstream probably more diluted and going back to normal.

Ok... Enough of blogging. Later going to celebrate Lynn's birthday. But the 4 of them not going and I don't know most of the people who will be going. Gonna get on another sugar high. Be it alcohol or carbonated drinks. Tonight is gonna be another late night. Blehhhh...
Hmm... I think I won't even bring my camera.

Fashion Event

Supposed to be at the Expo at 7am. I woke up at 4 freaking am this morning. Took out my notes to revise a bit.

My experience there wasn't fantastic. Pretty much ruined by a designer and his bitchy model. Blehh...

Other than that, erm... good experience I guess. Get to see what goes on backstage for such events.

Tiring day!

Me, Different?

This week doesn't seem to start off well. Lesson on monday was a talk by an external person. It was supposed to be a full day event but it ended at 1pm. The lesson wasn't fully covered but then the person had two meetings so couldn't continue teaching. But he said will come back for the evening class, so for those who are interested, can stay back. Too bad lah, I couldn't. A lot of people couldn't also. So they said we could sit in for the class during the next intake.

For the fashion show tomorrow, we were initally told that we were just going there to assist the seniors. Little did we expect them to change plans and say we are doing the actual make up for the models. Full make up within 30 minutes, change of make up within 2-3 minutes. Wahh... This time die liao lor... We are just newbies leh. Only attended about 9 lessons and now we are thrown to an unknown place and aghh... its just horrible. Don't know what will happen tomorrow.

I had some buffet dinner with ex-colleagues in the evening. But from 1pm till evening, I didn't know where to go. Wanted to ask Con to come out early to accompany me but a bit bo liao cause we won't have much time to shop before going to meet the rest. Wanted to go back to the office to slack and use net. But after that, decided to call my aunt and see where she was. So accompanied her to do some errants before going to the hotel.

The buffet was pretty good. But I must say, those we expected to have huge appetites surrendered early. Then they kept on saying that I eat so slow. What can I do mah... Anyway, the food there was good. A lot of expensive food items like crayfish, prawns, shellfish, salmon, fish, and lots more. The nice things there were the fried bread ice cream. The durain puree thing and chocolate fountain though the variety was quite sucky.

Anyway, my now my ex-colleagues keep on asking me to go back to the office during office hours to teach them how to use make up. Wah liao... Giving me pressure. As if I'm good enough to teach yet. I'm still a newbie!!! But all of them said I looked so different. Do I? Actually its the eyes. The different type contact lens and eyebrows can really look different.

Disgusting Burger Cook

On the way to church, I told bro that I like my fringe. He asked me why. I said cause can cover my eyebrows. He went on to ask why do I wanna cover? I lifted up and showed him my messy brows. Haha! What to do? I'm letting it grow thicker so that I can reshape it.

After returning home, I was thinking whether I should go take a nap or something else. I decided on something else. But what else? Hmm... Pack room? Nahh, not in the mood. Pluck eyebrow? Hmm... Should I reshape it myself? Or should I wait till tomorrow after lunch, get my teacher to help me reshape it. Haha. At least its professionally done for free.

But after thinking for a while, I decided to try on my own. If wrong then learn from mistakes lor. How bad can it get right? I've been shaping my own brows for years. Just that I want something new.

Anyway, while I was plucking, Bro came into my room, stood behind me and wondered what I was doing. As if he never see me pluck before like that. After a while, dad came in and also see and see like very curious. Again, another one who seemed to have never seen me pluck eyebrow before like that. Then came 2nd bro, also came in and started to ask a lot of stuff. By the way, they came in at seperate times.
Seriously, the three of them have seen me pluck eyebrow for so long but today they seemed so fascinated by it. The other day when I was playing with the eye tape thingy, they just walked past without even the slightest tinge of curiousity, especially when that was something that I was doing for the first time. Today my family is so weird. I thought usually I was the one doing all the weird things, today, they start to ask me bout my usual thing. Hmm...

Left for Salsa abit later than usual today. Reached there on time but I was still not the last. Somehow I was pretty much happy for the whole day. But don't know why, suddenly felt damn cold and unwell. Mood was pretty much ruined. Quite lost form too.

Went to the pasar malam to buy dinner back for bro. We wanted the Ramlee burger. I didn't really walk the whole area but I only found that one stall selling it, so not much of a choice. I was a bit pissed there lah. The stall was just disappointing and the experience was quite a turn off. Why? I'll name turn offs in order of occurance.

Turn off 1: I stood there so long nobody wanted to take my order. Then other people just cut in and order, they take. Wah liao eh... Irritating.
Ok, that never mind. After that I finally placed my order.

Turn off 2: The lady used her bare hands to take the meat patty and throw onto the grill right after she collected money. FIY: She used the same hand to collect money and transfer patty.

Turn off 3: The guy who was cooking cracked the egg onto the grill. As all should know, eggs come from the chicken's ass. The ass is the same hole where the chicken's shit comes out from. I don't think those egg farm people clean each and every one of the eggs before selling. So what this guy did was he cracked the egg directly on the hot pan's cooking area and opened the egg on the same spot!
Tell me, how gross is that? Anyway he cracked 4 eggs the same way.

Turn off 4: A big piece of egg shell about 1cm dropped into the eggs. Instead of picking it out and throwing it away, he mixed the 4 egg yolk and white together.
I was hoping that I don't get that one with the shell.

Turn off 5: Out of the two burgers I ordered, either one had it. Damn it...

Turn off 6: They didn't even warm the buns.

Turn off 7: They used the styrofoam box instead of the paper which has the name printed on it to prove its the authentic Ramlee burger.

The usual scenerio of having and enjoying a yummy Ramlee burger was you order choice of meat patty. Whether you want a special or normal. Most people opt for the special one of course. The cook or assistant will either use tongs to handle the meat or use gloves to assemble the burger. The other hand will usually be free to collect money. They will crack the egg by the side of the hot pan where the edge is before opening it onto the pan. Usually they are quite skilled so seldom see shell. Although there was once I saw a small fragment of the shell drop in, the cook removed it immediately. Just before the patty is cooked to perfection, the buns are warmed. Then it is wrapped into the paper with the name printed on it. Now THAT is probably a authentic hygienic Ramlee burger.

I sure as hell didn't enjoy my dinner. I used my fingers to rummage through the whole burger. But I couldn't find it. I think it was in the one bro took. I did caution him bout the shell. But he just ate it like ignorance is bliss. Anyway, my mood was somehow dampened further because of that. Bleehhhh... Kill me I also won't patronize that stall again throughout this pasar malam duration that they are here.

Rebel In The Making

Muahaha... Today I slept till way past noon. Feeling was damn good. But the house was quiet. Too quiet for a Saturday when everyone said they are gonna stay home. So I walked out to check. Ohh... Grandma is outside ironing the clothes, both Bros are studying, everyone had something to do. No wonder so peaceful, like a still lake.

So upon waking up, was like causing ripples in the lake. I started to talk to grandma, my walking around was distracting bro. Heh!

Anyway, I was asking when gran wanted to shift over to Godma's house so that she can relax. She was telling me it wasn't so soon because uncle hasn't asked aunt if they still needed her help to look after the kids. Then don't know if they can rely on the maid or not, blah blah blah. It got me a bit pissed off. Started to infiltrate rebellious thoughts into my gran's mind. "Ah ma! How can they like that? So unfair. What for you stay on and wait? Just tell them when you are leaving lah. Wah liao eh..." Can't stand it lor. But what to do? Gran's good nature has allowed so many to bully her, even by the maid. Wah kaoz! I'm just keeping quiet cause they are after all, a generation older than me. Don't want to say them if not wait they lose face. But one day, when all gets too much and I really cannot stand it, I may say it out right in their face. Its genetically inherited one leh...

But then, what to do? She is still worried bout the smaller kid. Barely primary school, often gets bullied by the brother who is much older. See, the funny thing is that the maid is scared of the older one. Cause he is older more vocal, can complain to parents if unhappy. Maid is not scared of the young one cause still so small. Probably easy to smack also. Thats why gran isn't very willing to shift over. Poor grandma.


So she left towards the evening to head home. I went to sleep after changing my make up bag. Rudely woken up by kids playing those bomb bags. They played at the common stairway, causing it to sound very loud + echo = deafening and disturbing. bro couldn't take the sound. Distracting him from studies. But he decided to wait a while to see if they would stop after running out of bomb bags. It never stopped. They seemed to have a whole carton full of it or something. Kept on bomp! Bomp! Bomp! non stop. Then he couldn't take it anymore since its ruining his train of thoughts, he went to shout from upstairs down and asked them to stop playing. See, its in our genes. Haha! We'll bear with things till a point where we are so irritated then go say out one.

Started my tv marathon after that. MTV's weekend break airs episodes of Inferno II back to back to back. Something like a reality tv show. Wahaha... A few cute guys in the show wor. The games they play are so fun. Lots of bitching and back stabbing going on too.

Am I That Quiet?

My second and last accessories class today.

Did so many things today. But a lot halfway stuff which I'm supposed to complete on my own. Ha! Like that 2 day course also can get a cert. Getting my cert probably on monday.

The teacher is an external teacher specially called in to teach us. Hmm... It was after lunch when things was more slack in a sense that we know we can go home and finish it. Don't have to rush it there. So can talk more, walk around more and kpo more.

Anyway, it so happened that the teacher was talking to the Esther who was sitting beside me. Saying some joke or what. But apparently, I was so engrossed in what I was doing, I was quite expressionless. Then the teacher said to Esther, "wahh ni kan lah, this xiao mei zhen cool zhen calm, suo siao hua ye mei xiao." (translated would be, wahh you see lah, this girl so cool so calm, say funny jokes also never laugh.) I blurly looked up and asked if they were talking bout me. Haha!

That started the teacher off with guessing each one's personality based on the two lessons that he met us. Although its only two lessons, his guess for each one's character was damn spot on lor! Powderful sia!

So ya, everyone said I'm quiet. Am I? Wahaha!! Actually ya, I am if I don't know the person well. Sometimes I get mistaken for being dao. But true mah, for me if I don't know the person well, then later ask wrong questions then quite bad mah. So I rather they start asking me first. Cause I don't mind answering. But I guess after that I can be quiet noisy and talkative. Muaha!

Lesson was quite fun but doing the stuff ourselves were quite fustrating cause we're still greenhorns. Either the pin kept breaking or dropping or something lah.

Hari Raya Greetings

It is Hari Raya today; which is good new to all. Belated greetings to my muslim pals! While for the others, its another public holiday to relax. Not much difference for me cause I don't have anything on on most thursdays.

I slept till it was lunch time, then I was willing to emerge from my room. I love my hairstyle. It hasn't given me bad hair day in the morning yet. I just have to use my hands and smooth it down and voila! Its stays! Heh!

Stayed home whole day. I wanted to stay away from solid food just wanted to take my liquid food. But then, my dad keep on saying must at least eat something. Cannot rely on my that liquid food supplement. He doesn't believe in such stuff. So no choice since he was going out to buy, I had to place my order. Porridge lor... While everyone else ate different stuff. But then got a lot of fish dishes. So basically, I was eating fish, fish and more fish with porridge.

At night I was lazy to go out, so I also cook fish and itchy fingers went to set the microwave for too long at high. My fish was dry and my mushrooms all crispy. Got craving for onion rings but since lazy to go out, I decided to use fresh onions to fry it in some batter. I over made it so I wanted to keep aside. Bro came home and decided to pinch pinch a bit. Said it was nice so he walk into the kitchen take one, walk out take one and until not that many left. Haha!

A Pig's Tale

Remember the childhood story bout the three little pigs? Yep... Those three who build their houses using straw, wood and bricks. Then the big bad wolf came to huff and puff and blew their house down? Here is Version 1, Version 2. Somehow I prefer Version 2.
But never mind, I create Version 3, extracted from
Version 2 and improvised. Read on for it. Italics are the original story.


There was an old sow aka Pui Tai with three little pigs aka Ba Kut, Pui Ba and Ba Chor.
and as she had not enough to keep them, she sent them out to seek their fortune. As Pui Tai prefers to live the life of a tai tai, playing heavily in the stock market and dry swimming with her other piggy kakis. One fine day, she lost a lot of money. So much that she could no longer upkeep her piglets. She felt that it was time they found their own home and depend on herself. She still wanted to keep the remaining money for retirement, manicure and pedicure, facials and spas. She called for a family meeting and told them, "kinah eh, lao bu play share lost money. You all old enough to work, time to support me so that I can retire and learn line dance at the nearest sty."

Ba Kut was the first to leave. Went off met a man with a bundle of straw, and said to him, "Please, man, Uncle, pity me can? My lao bu no money ask me to come out and work. I have no money, no house no food give me that straw to build me a house. Can?"
Which the man did, The ah peh see him skinny skinny ribs all protruding, decided to pity him and give him what he needed
and the little pig built a house with it.
Presently came along a wolf
aka She Lang
, and knocked at the door, and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."
To which
Ba Kut answered, "No, no, by the hair of my chiny chin chin."
The wolf She Lang then answered to that, "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff my cig , and I'll blow your house in. set your house on fire. "
So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew set his house on fire in.
Weather wasn't favorable to him and soon it started to rain. All he ate was ba kut teh. and ate up the little pig.
After She Lang ate Ba Kut up, he wasn't satisfied. He thought to himself. Ka na sai, this pig so skinny. I want meat not bones!

The second little pig Pui Ba met a man an ah soh with a bundle of furze [sticks], and said, "Please, man, Auntie, pity me can? My lao bu no money ask me to come out and work. I have no money, no house no food give me that furze to build a house. Can?" Which the man did, But ah soh had a condition Pui Ba had to satisfy. Seeing that Pui Ba so fat fat cute cute chubby chubby, she couldn't resist and wanted to pinch his cheecks and went "aiiiyooooo soooo cutteeee!!!" before giving him what he needed
and the pig built his house.
Then along came the wolf
She Lang
, and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."
"No, no, by the hair of my chiny chin chin."
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff my cig, and I'll blow your house in. set your house on fire."
So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew
set his house on fire in. "
This time, he managed to get char siew ba.
After She Lang ate up Pui Ba, he still wasn't satisfied. He thought to himself. Ka na sai... This pig full of san zhang ba (2 layer fats, 1 layer meat). Tomorrow siao liao lor. Got medical check up, sure high blood pressure, high cholestrol and diabetics.

The next day, after medical check up, doctor diagnosed She Lang with all 3 problems and adviced to watch his diet.

The third little pig Ba Chor met a construction site foreman with a load of bricks, and said, "Please, man, Yo sup dawg! My ma has been baggin on me to get my ass out of my crib to get a life. I don't wanna dis my ma ya know. Do you dig my plight? Could ya give
drop me those bricks to build a house my crib with."
So the man replied "No prob dude. Anytime." He gave him the bricks, and he built his house with them.
So the wolf She Lang
came, as he did to the other little pigs, and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."
"No, no, by the hair of my chiny chin chin."
Ba Chor was afraid that his fate would be similar to this brothers. He tried to hide. Image hosted by Photobucket.com
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in."
Well, he huffed, and he puffed, and he huffed and he puffed, and he puffed and huffed; but he could not get the house down.

When he found that he could not, with all his huffing and puffing, blow the house down,

She Lang blamed his lack of energy cause he ate a pig with no meat. Blamed his lack of stamina and unhealthy lifestyle cause he ate a pig with lots of fats. He swore to come back another day. Ba Chor on the other hand, started to build up his stamina by doing sit ups.

He also went to collect the debris from his brother's houses. He collected the straw which he made into the blinds

and wood for his parquet flooring. He even had time to build an additional level to his house.

After working out a bit, he was back to get his dinner,
he said, "Little pig, I know where there is a nice field of turnips."
"Where?" said the little pig
Ba Chor
.
"Oh, in Mr. Smith's home field, and if you will be ready tomorrow morning I will call for you, and we will go together and get some for dinner."
"Very well," said the little pig
Ba Chor
, "I will be ready. What time do you mean to go?"
"Oh, at six o'clock."
Well, the little pig
Ba Chor got up at five, and got the turnips before the wolf She Lang
came (which he did about six) and who said, "Little pig, are you ready?"
The little pig
Ba Chor said, "Ready! I have been and come back again, and got a nice potful for dinner."
Ba Chor rested for the rest of the day while the wolf went to plan his next cunning trick.

The wolf She Lang
felt very angry at this, but thought that he would be up to the little pig somehow or other, so he said, "Little pig, I know where there is a nice apple tree."
"Where?" said the pig
Ba Chor
.
"Down at Merry Garden," replied the wolf
She Lang
, "and if you will not deceive me I will come for you, at five o'clock tomorrow and get some apples."
Well, the little pig
Ba Chor
bustled up the next morning at four o'clock, and went off for the apples, hoping to get back before the wolf came; but he had further to go, and had to climb the tree, so that just as he was coming down from it, he saw the wolf coming, which, as you may suppose, frightened him very much.
When the wolf came up he said, "Little pig, what! Are you here before me? Are they nice apples?"
"Yes, very," said the little pig. "I will throw you down one." And he threw it so far, that, while the wolf was gone to pick it up, the little pig jumped down and ran home.
Ba Chor was so afraid of She Lang that he quickly ran up to the second floor, dropping his cap.

The next day the wolf She Lang came again, and said to the little pig Ba Chor
, "Little pig, there is a fair at Shanklin this afternoon. Will you go?"
"Oh yes," said the pig
Ba Chor
, "I will go. What time shall you be ready?"
"At three," said the wolf
She Lang . So the little pig Ba Chor went off before the time as usual, and got to the fair, and bought a butter churn, which he was going home with, when he saw the wolf She Lang coming. Then he could not tell what to do. So he got into the churn to hide, and by so doing turned it around, and it rolled down the hill with the pig in it, which frightened the wolf so much, that he ran home without going to the fair.

He went to the pig's house, and told him how frightened he had been by a great round thing which came down the hill past him.
Then the little pig
Ba Chor said, "Ha, I frightened you, then. I had been to the fair and bought a butter churn, and when I saw you, I got into it, and rolled down the hill. Didn't you see the stone pig outside? Notice the smug on its face? That's my expression right now."

Then the wolf was very angry indeed, and declared he would eat up the little pig, and that he would get down the chimney after him. When the little pig saw what he was about, he hung on the pot full of water, and made up a blazing fire, and, just as the wolf was coming down, took off the cover, and in fell the wolf because he was too tired from climbing up 2 stories and on an empty stomach; so the little pig Ba Chor put on the cover again in an instant, boiled him up, and ate him for supper, and lived happily ever afterwards.

My 4th Tooth Extracted

Gosh... I was determined to eat a damn heavy breakfast cause I know that will be my only meal for the day.

Reached the dentist. I was 3 minutes late. Anyway, had to wait for another patient to come out. Think was doing some extraction or something. Heard the sounds of the equipment. I wanted to get my extractions over and done with quick. But hearing those sounds just before I go in was kinda freaky. Flashbacks of the previous extraction where it ended up as a surgery. The process, the sounds and the pain when the anesthetic started to wear off after the 3rd tooth.

Then it was my turn in. Doc told me that he decided to sacrifice my good tooth just so that I can get a perfectly aligned set of teeth. Ohh well, I was prepared already, so just went ahead. Numbing gel was applied to that tooth's gum area so that when he inject the anesthetic, the gum won't feel so pain. But even with the numbing gel, the injection still felt like some fat ass ant with sharp pincer biting in. Then had to let it take effect so while waiting, he wanted to clean and my teeth. But he didn't cause he said I clean so well that there isn't anything left for him to clean.

So some time passed and it was time to pull. He tugged the tooth a bit. Shit! I felt something. No... This isn't suppose to happen, I don't recall feeling anything the other time. So I started to "mmm mmmmmmmm pain...." Doc must be wondering why my threshold of pain today so lousy. Inject quite a lot of anesthetic still pain? Actually it was bearable pain, but I just didn't want to feel anything just in case something goes wrong. So, yeh... It was a bit exaggerated.

Surprisingly, this tooth came out easy. Then after it came out, I asked if I could keep it. Doc said ok will pass to me later. So I think they probably went to sterlize it. But I still want it clean, so I'm soaking it in alcohol. Tomorrow will brush it. After that then I'll take a pic of it and post it here.

I emerged from the room looking like a monkey. Mouth area like so bigger and the gauze in my mouth made my lips look damn odd. Somehow, I wish I had my lip pencil there so that I can draw the right shape. Haha!

Actually wanted to go home right after that. But then, come all the way to town, then so fast head home, I feel weird. Also feel bad cause Godma was there to accompany me then its a bit bo liao if she goes home so fast. So I said I wanted to look for make up box. I don't really like the one given by the school. Area too big and quite prone to get hit. I don't want my colour palettes to crack. She laughed at me for buying the other make up box and now don't want to use. Anyway, when deciding to buy that other make up box, I already knew that if I'm not gonna use it, I'll sell it away. Hopefully can make a bit out of it.

Searched Isetan and Tangs but both don't sell. Unless its the Shu one which is similiar to what I have. Gave up. Don't bother to find liao. Decided to go get the one from Muji which a lot of my classmates are also using. We spent so much time in Muji just looking at their stuff. In the end, I got the make up box and 2 additional divider/pouch thingy.

Godma wanted to eat BK. I can only sit there, see, smell but not eat. Surprisingly, I wasn't even tempted to use the side of my mouth to eat it. Hmm... Maybe cause the smell of the gauze and blood in the mouth is a bit repulsive.

Happy Deepavali

Well, slacked at home till it was time to prepare to go uncleN's house. I could finally sleep late. I even shut off my alarms. But no... I hate it when people call me at 10am and are surprised to know I'm still sleeping. Next time if I got nothing on that day, I'm not gonna answer calls. I think sleep is more precious.

Dad drove to Godma's house to help her collect her apple crumble and butter cake. Maxie scratched me and it was pretty painful. Had to lock her up in her cage. Poor dog. Must be wondering why the other day it was out playing with me so happily. Today, got locked up. Haha!

My last day to pig out. Tomorrow gonna extract tooth, next few days won't be able to eat. But the chicken and beef were just hard to resist. After dinner, I went off to take pictures of the pig. Haha... Look out for my story of the three little pigs. Coming soon.
