has anybody read this yet? in my usual tardy manner, i only just read yesterday's New Paper today and i must say that this particular letter sent in by a uni undergrad is very, very interesting.in a nutshell, whether he/she means to or not, he/she is basically saying that us poly grads are undeserving to wear the oh so special graduation gowns. in his/her own words, we would "rub off some shine from university graduates". also, us wearing the gown would be similar to "having fourth- and fifth-placed athletes in the Olympic games being awarded a medal".
you know, i dont even want to wear the gown in the first place (as i've said to my friends, like i need any more reasons to look like a blob). but reading this person's very small minded theory that gowns are traditionally meant for university graduates is so absurb to me. firstly, i never thought of it becoming a concern, i mean, for goodness sake, it's a bloody gown! wearing it will not help attain world peace, people! secondly, ouch, comparing us to losing athletes. now that's the spirit of a true winner, innit! thirdly, which freaking century is this person living in, seriously? i don't want to be the one to say it but hello, bigot much? i wonder if he/she knows that women can vote now.
so whoever agrees with this person that this is indeed an issue,
boo-hoo here's a fucking tissue.
boo-hoo here's a fucking tissue.

why is the world so bloody annoying? last night/early this morning i was busy resizing and photoshopping pictures from the wedding (388 in total, i might never regain feeling on my fingertips ever). i had finished everything by 3:30am, but i still couldnt sleep so i grabbed a book and read till i got so sleepy, my eyes crossed. this was at 6am so i opened my windows, wrapped myself in my comforter and fell into deep slumber. i was dreaming that i was filling out an application form for a job at the library but the form was made out of tissue paper so i was being really careful.
and then i woke up. SOME FAGGOT WAS BLASTING HIS CAR RADIO (chinese station somemore) SO GODDAMNED LOUDLY. i looked at my hp, it was 12:27pm and i immediately screamed 'shut up!'. god. i mean, if i was going to be wasting my life away, at least let me waste it away in peace. i covered my head with a pillow but it did not drown away the sounds as i had hoped and i knew i was fighting for a lost cause because fuck, i was already awake.
so i got up, looked out of the window and saw this.
gaaaaah!!!!!!! stupid idiot! why must he park directly outside of my window?!
i cant catch a goddamned break!
cats meowing, couples fighting, mat motor(s) blasting jiwang songs, ice cream man ringing his bell furiously non stop.
i want life to be easier.
but what i really, really want is a bucket filled with water balloons that i can throw at this ah pek.

so i was supposed to go to my granny's tonight to help out with some wedding stuff (one of my cousin is getting married this weekend, see) and when i say help out, you know i mean just hanging around pretending to be useful but not actually doing anything. anyway, before i left i got news (very belated i might add!) that my aunt gave birth and that everyone was going to KK to visit her and the baby. so of course i took forever to reach the hospital (what? take bus then must cross the road ah?), got lost (what? not childrens tower ah?) and ended up tired and cranky (what? why didn't i take a bloody cab ah?!). bah!
anyway, meet Cousin Number 23, i kinda forgot her name but i bet she smells like the colour pink. so soft and cuteeee.
oh, for the past 2 weeks, this black cat has been loitering around my void deck, always meowing very loudly for like maybe 15 mins straight each time so in a nutshell, it is damn bloody annoying. plus, its not as if it doesnt get any food, my block's token catlady (some chinese weirdo) always leaves food around for stray cats. so i was walking along the corridor towards my house just now when i saw this same cat just sitting right outside my door, staring at me. tsk, muker macam tak bersalah ok. god knows how much i hate/fear cats so i ended up waiting for my parents (who were 10 minutes away, thank god) to come home at the void deck all alone like a freaking hobo.
oh the hazards of staying on the 2nd floor!
on a less distressing note, i've been wanting to buy this (Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II) for a very long while now so i did what any normal person would do when they want to purchase something that they cannot afford, iborrowed/begged/stole 'saved' $ and i finally bought it! yippeeeee am a happyhappy camper.
i think i am actually going to sleep after i post this, early day tmr!
peace homies.

i forgot to add in the previous entry but i had a weird yet oddly thrilling dream the other night. i dreamt that i was in a doctor's office and he told me i was pregnant. he also asked me who the father of my baby was and of course i was at a lost for words so i was stammering when suddenly this dude comes in and admits to fathering my child. the dude was none other than......
T.I.!
i know right, what a hot piece of black ass. so i dunno, i gave birth and the baby was a girl and we named her Sofia and to tell you the truth i was kind of a lousy mother but T.I., wow, he was a great dad. him and Sofia seemed to have a lot of fun together while i sulked in a corner (post partum depression i guess). so random right! man, random dreams are the best, especially when you're showering and suddenly more details of the dream comes back to you. what a good start to your day =D
so moving on, i had dinner with the khamikaze soldier on friday. we shared murtabak and meehoon/kwayteow goreng at zam zam (ala kazam). the murtabak was yummy (crispy on the outside soft and loaded with minced beef on the inside, what's not to love!) but the noodles were disappointing. anyway, you know how when you're eating and yapping and enjoying your meal when suddenly the joint gets so full with hungry people waiting for seats and then you get uncomfortable and awkward and feel obligated to increase your eating speed? yeah, i HATE that. especially since the joint was empty when we got there. bah!
and then when i got home, my camera was waiting for me! my mom collected it without telling me (nak surprise lah tu konon). the servicing was fast because they basically did nothing but replace the lens so i got a brand new set. thank god for warranty aye?
i've watched 11 out of the 16 episodes so far. i feel like a loser! =( but in my defense i hate watching something without knowing how it ends so well at least my denial is somewhat justified.
okay im off to watch the final 5 episodes. don't judge! goodnight!
p.s. people are still funny. but LOL kind of funny this time. LOLzzz

| anyhow, after that we walked to amirah's grill to chill out and have some sheesha. SAME THING HAPPENS. empty place right? so we got the upstairs seats which were spacious and comfortable. and so what if the 2 of us were occupying a table for 6? the place was literally deserted. of course, a short while later, it got packed with large groups of people. luckily our sheesha was dying when this happened. grrrr, i hate crowds. thank god for the murtabak+strawberry/mint sheesha or else the night would have sucked. |  |

 | dvd marathon/sleepover at nabillah's yesterday. we started late (thanks to my hungry father. was frying some chicken nugget thingys for the marathon and he came into the kitchen saying 'bau sedap nyer, masak aper tu?'. out of the kindess of my own heart i made him 2 chicken sandwiches [so he doesnt steal my chicken nugget thingys]) we watched Stomp the Yard and Big Daddy but by 1 we were bored and i dont know how but nabillah managed to rope me in to watch a korean soap opera called Full House and i think i had too much popcorn or smt but i actually agreed to watch one episode. okay, so this is so embarrassing but after the first episode, i was hooked. |

people are......funny. they say one thing but mean another. they proclaim love, friendship,loyalty but the first chance they get they will find your flaws and weaknesses and use it as a shield against whatever they're afraid of; commitment, responsibility, obligation. me, i dont trust people and people dont trust me. it's a lose-lose situation but it sure as hell beats being disappointed day after day.soma coma [1:11:00 PM]

the last ever episode of gilmore girls is being downloaded as i write this. im anticipating lots of sighing and bawling and tissues and issues. oh god, why must all good things come to an end?and to make the occasion even more depressing, my camera is not with me and won't be for the next week or so. i finally sent it for servicing at the canon hq after getting one too many error codes. and the stupid dude who was checking the camera did not say a single word to me, he was fiddling with my camera for maybe 3 minutes then began typing furiously on his computer, totally ignoring my presence. so i asked him what was wrong with my camera and he was like 'oh, it's the lens' and resumed his typing. it was so weird, me and nabilah actually had a fulfiling conversation right in front of him while he ignored us. a full awkward 5 minutes later he asked me to sign some papers and i asked him when i could get the camera back and he was like 'oh, in about one and a half weeks' and then he did a thank you come again smile so i walked away from the counter feeling a bit dazed and a bit cheated at having come all the way from... well, sengkang. luckily vivo's fried fish soup with milk cheered me up, although the one at compass point is still the best lah.
speaking of cameras, ive been wanting to sort of promote this documentary, born into brothels, that's showing in theaters now. i had to watch it for one of my modules last year and it is such a good documentary. it flows more like a drama really, what with it being set in the red light district in calcutta, than a documentary, and you really do feel a connection with the children and i watched it and i was basically rooting for each and everyone of those kids. soooo good. also, this was actually filmed in 2004 and you can find out what the kids are up to now, here. hopefully people will see it and stop the 'ohmygahiwantadslrnow!!!!!' attitude that we see alot these days. point and shoot film cameras are also fun, oh kids of today.
on a positive note, i managed to convince my mom to go to the isetan private sale tomorrow and bring me along as the 'guest'. the bag that i've been eyeing on for a while is about to be mine *crosses fingers* let's hope thats not all i'll be getting. excuse me while i practise my sad pathetic face show for the mothership to win her sympathy and money.

a pre-rant warning, long post ahead. i havent updated in a while which is funny because honestly, its not as if i have more important things to do anyway, like maybe going to work or working out or saving the world. it's just that when i'm on the computer, updating my blog is probably the last thing on my mind (actually the last thing on my mind would be to update my resume/portfolio so i might actually have a chance at getting a real job). but you know i was thinking, as my pictures folder keeps on ballooning and my memory keeps on depleting i figured might as well do a proper update before i forget everything. so here's a somewhat detailed breakdown of the past week or so.
 | i went to ikea with the sidekick last saturday. as usual it took us almost half the day to decide where to go/what time to meet/where to eat but then not actually deciding on anything at all. we had lunch at mad jack on a whim (because 74 came first) yeah we're impromtu like that. i had to get a new plastic chair at ikea so we went to queenstown and then spent too much time trying to go back to her place(queenstown to chinatown to toa payoh and then finally to ang mo kio). also, too much bollywood at the last leg of our journey. what to do, too much indian blood in our veins =/ |
| you know what, i love cooking pasta. it's so easy to make and i love the fact that you can pretty much throw in anything you like and it would still come out pretty decent. i know, i know, somewhere in sicily an italian woman is having a heart attack at that statement but it's still pretty true innit? anyway the pasta on the right basically had baby carrots/french beans/tomatoes/onions/chilli/dory fish and i used this type of pasta. you know, i hate to blow my own horn but it was pretty damned tasty. cooked too much of it, as you can see, so i had it for lunch over the period of 3 days =D best. |  |
 | dinner with kham on thursday. we were supposed to eat at adam road (i was already craving the nasi lemak) but kham wanted to eat at mad jack so that was dinner, and at least i had something different. we didnt know where to go after dinner so we chose a random bus, boarded it and ended up at this playground/fitness center at bukit batok of all places. the playground was deserted which was great but kind of a pity to see it not being used. granted it was at night but still! it grew hot so we ended up under some void deck with a very, very high ceiling and kham had to listen to my 'plans' for our (maybe) trip to KL. it was fun. then on our way back home, i almost got knocked down by a motorbike and a car. that was fun too. |
so you guys should know of officer don flack junior by now. let's talk about my tv obsession, which is kind of ironic because i dont actually watch them on an actual television. anyway, every tv show that i am currently watching (gilmore girls/csi:ny/csi/antm/ugly betty/scrubs) will have their season finales this coming week! the one that i'm most bummed about is gilmore girls of course (see previous post) oh my god in 3 days i will watch the last episode of gilmore girls ever. it's really too depressing to even think about it. i will mourn for the greatness that is lauren graham. i swear that woman is so underated, it's unfair! i shall however cherish the fact that she'll be in evan almighty, i mean steve carrell's in it, it's gotta be pretty big right? bah. so after all these great tv shows go on a break, i'm really at a loss over what i should do with this new unaccounted-for block of time i suddenly will have. i reckon i should........ beg my mother for a bike and cycle everywhere.
pretty good idea, if i do say so myself.
 mother's day dinner at siam kitchen yesterday with my mom's side of the family. they served the dishes (it was a dinner buffet) like rice table did, and although the portions are okay and the food was tasty i felt like paying 19.90$ per person was not really that worth it. a meal at hajah maimunah for 2 costs less than that and to be honest tastes better too. i guess it's perfect for special occasions like this one. and in the spirit of mother's day, i just wanna say that my mother>yours. |  |
 | and just for shits and giggles, this is a picture of my gargantuan hair conditioner. so much love for Sunsilk (though i preferred the name Organics) |
so that's it. no, there's more actually but this is as far as my lazy ass will go
so till next time,
'blah blah blah ginger'.
ETA: oh my god guys you have to watch this video,it has so many WTF moments i think it will render you speechless. take special notice of the woman in orange (melayu moment: APER MOTIF DIER JOGET2 KAT BLAKANG!!!). LOL at the fact that the whole thing was

a photo post with annoying commentary here (you know the drill)
today i looked in the mirror and saw dark smudges under my eyes. usually, there's an explanation for those smudges; me not removing my eyeliner the night before but i knew i couldn't blame it on the eyeliner this time because the last time i wore them were 2 days prior. still i rubbed the smudges with a wet tissue, willing them to disappear but unfortunately for me, i think me and the wretched dark rings are gonna be acquainted for a while longer.
anyhow, balqis's 2 week old ipod died on her so we brought it to wheelock place to get it serviced. i saw a daniel johns lookalike (he was probably underaged though o_0) and i sorta stalked him for a while (not really lah.) after that we hung around borders for a bit before we met kham for dinner. and then we went to kino cos balqis wanted to get this book that a) she doesn't know the title to b) she doesn't know the author either. here are her 'hints' 1) the book's title might be No Mercy 2) the cover's that of a muslim woman covered in the traditional burqa, only showing her eyes.
so much for narrowing it down!
we also dragged kham around while we shopped for mother's day gifts. in the end, i got this cute card and a brooch for my mom and balqis got me a james dean card!
all in all, a good day.
