I am feeling so unsettled lah... So unsettled!

I think maybe it's time for me to move on. Move on to the next course of life. Next chapter. This chapter I'm on is getting boring. Same old words, same old lines, same old characters.

One last cry before I say goodbye. Isn't that from some old song?

leaving on a jetplane

Monday, June 26, 2006

I need to do something exciting, yo. One of these days, when I can't take it anymore, I'd probably just pack and go. Pack and go somewhere for a breather, to seek a bit of solace. Anyone up for it, with me?

Friday, June 23, 2006

I ripped this off Dayana's blog. I did the test and TA-DA!

Your dating personality profile:

Liberal - Politics matters to you, and you aren't afraid to share your left-leaning views. You would never be caught voting for a conservative candidate.

Traditional - Modern culture does not move you. You hold traditional values dear to your heart.

Adventurous - Just sitting around the house is not something that appeals to you. You love to be out trying new things and really experiencing life.

Your Top Ten Traits

1. Liberal
2. Traditional
3. Adventurous
4. Athletic
5. Wealthy/Ambitious
6. Romantic
7. Funny
8. Big-Hearted
9. Stylish
10. Religious

Your date match profile:

Practical - You are drawn to people who are sensible and smart. Flashy, materialistic people turn you off. You appreciate the simpler side of living.

Adventurous - You are looking for someone who is willing to try new things and experience life to its fullest. You need a companion who encourages you to take risks and do exciting things.

Conservative - Forget liberals, you need a conservative match. Political discussions interest you, and a conservative will offer the viewpoint you need.

So I'm liberal, traditional and adventurous huh... I'm just wondering, how can I be a liberal and a traditionalist at the same time. A bit of a conflict of interests there, isn't it? I know I am a traditionalist. My brazen personality betrays my values and people who don't know me well are usually surprised. Apasal?! APASAL surprised ni ha? I'm a good Malay girl whatt hurr...

Anyway.

My 'ideal' partner, according to this dating test, would be someone who is practical, adventurous and conservative. Yes yes gimme someone who is practical and adventurous please! Someone who'll just call me and go "Hey, let's go to Bintan and do snorkelling" or "Hey I'll pick you up in 20mins. We'll going ice-skating". Cheyleh. Hurhur. And a conservative would help me keep my feet on the ground and keep me in check in case I get too whimsical about my ideals.

Eh mana ni nak dapat one good Malay boy who is practical, adventurous and conservative? Don't have anymore, right? Tsk.

Cramps cramp my style

I have been coming to work late these past few days. Don't snicker now because you'd think I'm always late anyway but please eh... My lateness is so melampaui batas nowadays cheyleh haha... On Tuesday, I reached work at 11a.m. On Wednesday, I reached at 10.30a.m. Macam aku ada share jer kat company ni. I blame my cramps for my tardiness. It was the mother of all cramps, I tell ya.

On Tuesday, I planned to meet Eli after work for dinner. On the way there in the train, I had a really bad cramp. I broke up in cold sweat, my knees started to buckle from the pain of the tummy and my temperature rose. I thought I was going to faint. And at that improper nanosecond, I wondered if I was wearing some nice panty because I had a vision that if I faint, they'd probably have to send me to a hospital and I'd be embarrassed if I'm wearing some unpretty panty haha... Sempat.

I sms-ed Eli telling her I'm gonna faint. She called me immediately and asked where I was, in an urgent tone. I think she's scared that I'd faint before I could tell her where I was. These monthly cramps are scaring me. I'm afraid it could be some tumour growth or something, that's causing the pain. I guess I can always go check but I'm sucha chicken. Maybe I should resume consuming Evening Primrose Oil. But I hate relying on things to feel better, to feel whole. Just like how I hate relying on someone to feel better. Like, I'll kick myself for not being good enough to be my own antidote. Pfft. Sucks lah, understand or not. Sucks.

Vernetta Lopez said that Nicole Kidman is getting married to some country singer. Everyone's getting married. Getting married or getting engaged. Speaking of engagement, HAPPY ENGAGEMENT SUSHI!! You looked gorgeous. Loves the dress :)

Yeah as I was saying, everyone's getting married or engaged. My parents got like, ten thousand wedding invitations this month alone lah. If they're not getting married or getting engaged, they're happily attached with someone. Haha... Why am I complaining... Single is good. Being single means you can do your own thing without feeling guilty you're betraying the other half. I'm like, part of a pair of Siamese twins who just got separated. I feel incapacitated without the other.

I forgot how it's like to feel important for someone.

Just in. Pictures of the chalet. But erm... Ley? One question. How come no pictures of Ratna and Maz? Is it because they are not camera-whores like us? Hurr...

Ley's gorgeous sisters. One heavily pregnant. Another heavily into funky hats. But both very fun to hang out with. Just like Ley... (Chey suka lah tu Ley, orang cakap dia fun. Heh..)

Dial 1800-ZURIAT-CACAT. Jila acting all retarded. She said she wanna take a picture with Ley like that because she said it's cute. Cute kepalahotakkaula nyaarr... Seram bodo. Ley eksyen only smile but she's actually quite terrified. Fake lor the smile, fake understand. Hurhur... Kenapa kawang-kawang aku macam gini niiii...

And then Awin decided to join Jila in being retarded so we became this:

Hurhur SERAM TAAAKKK???

Dial 1800-ZURIAT-CACAT-ALSO

Eh tapi jangan main-main ahh... Seram-seram gituk pun, Jila ada peminat tau... Tu har, yang baju purple tu harr...

Dia macam abang-abang gituk...

Playing board-games like Monopoly and Taboo. That's Ley's brother-in-law on the extreme left. He is the epitome of the perfect husband, ok understand. In fact, I am so sure that Ley's sister married the last good and perfect man on Earth. He is so eligible. Very smart, too. He actually went up behind Ley's sister and gave her a massage. HELL-OO is that sweet or what? Well actually, I can think of just another person who'd do that. Hmm...

Hello, gorgeous. I wish I have very white teeth like yours. Hurhur... Boleh jadi model untuk Colgate weeeee....

Thank you, lovelies, for making my Saturday. I would have otherwise be at home alone, watching Malcolm in the Middle or Cops. And to Maz and Ratna too... Loves it.

teenage mutant x-men

They don't say 'knowledge is power' for nothing. A lawyer once told me this: Never reveal your trump card.

I won't, don't worry.

Anyway.

At Ley's chalet, I ate and ate and ate. Sedap nyaaarr, tak bedek. Ada smoked salmon all. Eh sejak bila chalet ada smoked salmon ni ha?! Cheyy dah makan nak bising-bising pulak lah Awing. Hurhur... Waiting for Ley to upload the pictures and photoshop them a bit especially the ones that blatantly showed my shiny red nose because oh! What do you know! Another pimple is popping up there! Iyer, betul tuu... ON my nose. Right there. Smack in the middle. I make a pretty sight.

If you realise, I don't blog about work. If I do, it's not about workload, it's about the people. Because I am a very people-person and only people can upset me but not bad situations. But I remember it was only once I blogged about two people at my work-place, and even that was heavily screened. No mention of names. I think this has to do with the fact that I am happy with my work-place. I am happy with the work I do and I am happy with my work environment. This is not saying work doesn't stress me up. It did, but not anymore. Because I've learnt that work is a responsibility and I enjoy my responsibilities, even if they stress me up and turn the front part of my hair white, macam ala-ala itu Rogue.

Speaking of Rogue, I caught X-Men 3 last week. I'm so in love with X-Men. I was already so intrigued by them when I was a kid, influenced by my uncle. I remember wanting to be Storm. But my uncle die-die want to be Storm also. Eh apa ni! I reasoned with him that he's a boy whaaatt, how can be Storm nyarr. But he say no, HE wants to be Storm and because he's got more introductory rights to X-Men, I let him become Storm and I became Rogue. Cheyybah.

But like, Rogue is not a mutant anymore now cos she itchy fingers want to become a human so that she can touch and kiss that boyfriend of hers, that Ice Man. Chet. Become mutant good whaaatt... Then can have streaked white hair all...

oh seven-oh seven-oh seven

Tuesday, June 13, 2006

That's 7 July 2007, by the way. 07.07.07.

I am busy at work when my aunt called. I thought it could be something urgent. Not.

She said she was looking through the calendar for next year and realised that 7 July 2007 is a very nice wedding date. She got so excited, you'd think she's the one getting married. She told me I should get married that day. Or at least, get engaged that day.

HAHA. Kelakar keper.

"GET MARRIED?!? Are you mad?"

"Yelah Wiiiiinn... Nice date lah Wiiiiinn... Such a waste if you don't make use of it. It's on a Sunday. And it's close to your birthday, too..."

"Erm, can. Can get married but I don't have anyone to marry leh..." (Hurhur.)

"Never mind lah... Just get any Tom, Dick or Harry to marry."

Erm.

My aunt is as funny as I.

Truth is, I have given this a thought since like say, oh... 2001. In fact, I went as far as looking through every month of every year until year 2010, to see what would be a good date. And I am aware that it is a nice date indeed to get married, being a Sunday and all. Yes, I was that madly in love.

Tapi please eh~ Kalau takder jodoh means tak payah kahwin, ok. Apa suka-suka keper kahwin. No need to say any Tom's Dick is Harry lah... Any Atan, Abu or Ali, I won't. Cheyy eksyen pulaaakk. Hurhur...

Speaking of Ali, I bumped into Suhana and her friend yesterday. Her friend is called Ali. I didn't know of anyone else who would name their kids Ali these days. Such a classic name, yo.

And speaking of marriage, I was a kendarat for my uncle's wedding two weeks ago. (Head Kendarat ah jangan main-main HAHA.) So all the makciks-makciks asked when I was getting married. Initially, I answered by laughing because that was the easiest to avoid answering them politely. But I got tired of it and as the day wore off, my answer became "Hah? Tak akan kahwin agaknya pasal tak laku..." The makciks would then wear a horrified look on their faces and promised me "Ok takper, nanti Cik carikan." Hurhur. Easier than faking a laugh, trust me. AND on top of that, I have agents to help me find one. So lai lai... Application forms available for 2nd intake. Date of commencement: 07.07.07.

Friday

Monday, June 12, 2006

So we screamed our hearts out on Friday night. The music videos for the songs are akin to soft-porn. Some were scary. I mean, who wears blue eyeshadow, pink blusher AND orange lipstick ALL in one face anymore?

Here are some of the soft porn videos. We captured them. Shudder.

Soft-porn Star No. 1

Soft-porn Star No. 2

Soft-porn Star No. 3. Who looks amazingly like Ariel from Peter Pan. Did I spell his name correctly?

And to the birthday girls:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Careful now. Macam borderline soft-porn lah nyaaarr... Hurhur. Eling tangan tinggi sey angkat.

And to this one:

There will always be another one who waits under the block in the pouring rain with a bag of sushi.

And another one who picks out all the heart-shaped chicken nuggets, fry them and pack them in a container.

Until then, we have each other :)

Queening

Thursday, June 08, 2006

Ok for those who are still up for that erm... Karaoke session tomorrow evening, my colleague who frequents karaoke joints, recommended KBox instead of Party World. Cos she said KBox is more classy and less cheesy. If it's even possible for any karaoke joint to look classy. The rates are $21+++ per person, inclusive of 2 standard drinks. Standard drinks maksudnya soft drinks. But no alcoholic drinks, you know... Korang okay tak?? Cheyybah bedek ajer...

I can't totally get rid of the party planner in me, so I itchy fingers called KBox and asked them how much more is that +++ and she said total would be $28 per person. Huh! $28 then say $28 lah, understand! Cheat people feelings you know, like this. If I cun-cun bring $21 to karaoke then found out I'm short of $7, how? Become hostess for half hour to raise that $7 is it?

So yeah... if you girls think the price is okay, then let's go. Tell me as soon as possible so my itchy fingers can call for a reservation. Otherwise, we go with Jila's Plan B.

And what is Jila's Plan B?

Go find one corner to sit, eat and talk. Food bought from Long John Silver's. Macam mintak kena sepak siol.

Ok ladies! Are we WEADY to go kalao-okay and langsing langsing?!?

Huggies

Wednesday, June 07, 2006

Vernetta Lopez of Class 95 FM was talking about hugs. "When was the last time you gave or received a good hug?"

I'm in terrible need of a good hug right now. A good squeeze, without a care if my make-up stains his shirt or if I knock the person out of his breadth.

Oh... Did I just use the pronoun 'his'?

excite me, Life

Tuesday, June 06, 2006

I want to do something exciting with my life.

When I watched the Da Vinci Code, I wanted to be a cryptologist. How sexy is that, when you fill up forms and under 'Occupation', you write Cryptologist and the woman behind the counter will go like "Woww..." or when you meet a hot guy and he asks what you do for a living, you say "I unlock codes... Maybe I can try unlocking the code to your heart" and blink really fast. Sexy. (And cheesy).

When I watched MI:3, I wanted to be a secret agent. How sexy is that, running and jumping around in sexy clothes with some weapon hidden under your sexy clothes. And I get to wear different wigs and speak French. Sexy.

I'm sure that when I go watch X-Men: The Final Stand, I'd want to be like Rogue. Because she has a few strands of white hair and so do I. Same exact place on the head. Betul, tak bedek. But hers is because of pure magic. Mine is just bad genes.

I want to bungee-jump.

I want to try eating fried cockroach.

I want to salsa.

So many things I want to do. But it seems like I'm waiting for something or someone.

attack of the Pimpilitis... again.

Monday, June 05, 2006

I have a mother of all pimples on my forehead.

When I look at myself in the mirror, it seems like i have a red headlight. Something to guide my pathway. Cheyybah. Guide pathway kepalahotakkaula Awing.

It's so irritating and painful and itchy. At first I thought it was a mosquito bite and I cursed the non-existent mozzie. But upon closer scrutiny, I see the beginning of a white pus. Nice. Just nice.

I had a pimple on the entrance of my nostril and now I have one more on my forehead. Where next? At the entrance of my ear?

I relaxed my hair. I succumbed to the pressure of the world filled with straight hairs. But it's not rebonded ok sila~ So it's not so bad. It almost looks like I'm born with straight hair. Almost. And I'm not used to looking at myself all ironed out.

But one good thing about it is that, I make a pretty good impression of Paul Twohill from Singapore Idol. I can shake my head and every single strand of my hair will shake too. This is of course, as opposed to my then-hair put in place with wax. Eh aku suka lah dia, si Paul not-one but Twohill tu. So unique and different. My brother is disgusted by him though, because he said that when Paul talks, he can see small rivers of saliva at the corners of his mouth. But who notices that when you're busy looking at his one kohled-eye, right?

And speaking about Singapore Idol, my mum has the hots for Jonathan Leong. The one with the 'bedroom eyes, bedroom voice', according to Jacintha Abishegenaden (action lah Awing, can spell).

When my mum talks about Jonathan, she gushes ok. The word is 'gush', understand. I've never seen her behave like a schoolgirl before. She said he's very charming. And that he's got a 'penarik walaupun mata dia sepet'.

Go figure.

sad times like these

Friday, June 02, 2006

My favouritest person in the office is leaving.

I try to not think about it.

Come Monday, I'd probably be so depressed because then, I'll be talking to myself, singing to myself and gossip to myself.

And I can't shout for her if I can't find a file.

Now I know that she sometimes snoop around reading this space. So Salina, if you are, I want to thank you for all the help you've given me.

Here's to your bright future!
