HAPPINESS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS

Woah, been a while since I posted anything here.

I enjoyed my stay in KL. So much fun and love that I sobbed before saying goodbye to Cliff. Seems like three days-three-nights isn't enough at all!

Celebrated his birthday on saturday night with his colleagues. Went to a new club, Rush and it was jam-packed with babes and hunks-wannabes. R&B and Hip-hop music were played throughout the night till 3am, when techno and trance took over the atmosphere with rigidity. Rush's washroom has this 'aquarium' that divides male and female's privacy and opposite sex can vaguely see thru' each other. That is why all female cubicles are equipped with a long rectangular mirrors so we can adjust our bras and tight panties without smirking guys ogling at us. I didn't expect it but I ended up chatting with strangers while waiting for my turn in the washroom. Not only once, twice but four times with different gals! Maybe I was tipsy and they were drunk, we just chatted happily about gals' stuff and etc. Conversations would end simultaneously (and automatically) once it was your turn to use the cubicle and nobody would be able to recognize each other on the dance floor.
Anyway we left the place at 4am, with people STILL queuing up at the entrance. Had supper and went back at 530am. What a terrific night!

Week after that, my sister from Japan came back for short vacation and dad dropped by from Sabah at the same time. I have the new digi cam with me now! Had asked her to get a RED nikon coolpix e3200 for me in Tokyo. It's a mid-performer with simple functions. Body is donned in metallic red with dark grey borders which is not available in local market! Isn't it COOL?! :)
Tested the camera yesterday in Esplanade. I was having a true-blue Family-SunDay with all my family members, including my bro-in-law and cute little ernest. Went for a late morning dim-sum and strolled along the paths of Esplanade and One Fullerton. We chanced upon F1 Boat Race along the riverbanks and managed to catch a glimpse at those colorful jet boats. By the time we dragged ourselves back to the carpark, it was well past five in the afternoon. I left the company and travelled to Sim Lim Sq to get my SD card and card reader. Reached home slightly after nine, feeling bushed and sleepy. However I was too excited over my new card and reader so I sacrificed my much needed rest by testing the devices . The SD card is working perfectly ok (hand signal) but the card reader is a huge disappointment! My comp couldn't detect it at all and there was no power light on the device. Tried umpteen times... almost threw it out of the window while cursing out loud. Sigh.

SO.. later on I have to make my way down to that damned place after work. Really hate all the hassle and disappointments. ArGh.

Monday Bonus: Dad promised crabs for dinner.. hmm.. I'm becoming a big bertha if they stay for another two weeks...

TRIPPIN'

I'm heading down to KL this Friday! Woohoo! A much deserved breakaway... at long last!

Actually I'm going there for Cliff's birthday, which falls on 12th September. I have been so tied up in work for the past two months and it's high time for me to smell KL air and walk its beaten path! Damn tough to have my leave approved by my tight-arsed manager. I gonna make use of the time there to rest and relax! HELL YEAH!

One more day to go.
Tick tock tick tock...

WHOLESOME

I had an unexciting weekend. Thank gawd I survived. On Saturday, I met my two buds in Bedok North Ave 2 for late dinner. That hawker centre is so huge tat a godzilla can sleep headlong over it. Anyway that's the place where the famous bak chor mee is. We sat there for five hours till my bum got sore. And that was it. Went home to blink my eyes till I dozed off. *slap forehead*

BUT! I managed to catch a movie on Friday! Phew!

Movie:
Open Water

Story:
Based on true events, about a couple enjoying their short break in an island of Bahamas, found themselves stranded in open sea after their dive, thanks to a bunch of careless and imbecile diving caretakers. Dehydrated and hungry, they were drifted by the waves and soon big schools of black-tip sharks started to surround them, eyeing the two helpless city-dwellers as juicy bait...

Hmm, do you know that it was much more terrifying than it sound? I was squirming in my seat when jellyfish stung them mercilessly. My bum was almost touching the floor when they were attacked by sharks. My feelings went out to them with 100% conviction. Just imagine yourself being left alone in vast ocean without anything to call for help. Aimless, tired and clinging to the only hope that the diveboat will cruise back, you can only let yourself drift away by the waves to nowhere. Added to the bonus of constant sharks attack and dark stormy night, how long would you strive to survive? That was what the wife thought. At the rise of dawn Susan gently pushed her dead husband away. Knowing she will be the next target soon, she released her float vest and chose the only way to freedom.
Damn, that was really sad and pathetic! Yet if I was her I wouldn't hesitate to do it too.. wouldn't want to be eaten alive by jaws!
This film really gave me jitters. Dun think I will learn diving at this time. And I'm sure Open Water has given some divers something to rethink about. Especially those people in diving centre, PLEASE DO PROPER HEADCOUNT!!

MR BIRD FLU, U SUX!

Thanks to the return of bird flu, currently we have an island-wide shortage of EGGS. You won't be able to find dozen of eggs in supermarkets tat easily, anymore.

One of the major supermarket has implemented a policy: You can buy eggs from us if you spend more than ten dollars in a single receipt. Heck, what's tat supposed to mean? If I only want to buy a tin of sweet corn and a dozen of eggs, I gotta get more items to top it up to ten bucks in order to complete my shopping list?

I think this supermarket benefits in both ways. For one, they can control the limited stock in their inventory. Two, they are able to earn more profits by making customers spend more for the sake of eggs. My mom bought a dozen from another market recently. It costs S$2.90. Can you believe that? During the norm, we only throw in less than 2 bucks for it! Mom grumbled that was the cheapest in the rack and there weren't much to choose from.

Sigh, I'm an abusive egg-eater and this is obviously killin' my appetite!
