Hello Jake

Yesterday i spent half the day on retail therapy, to alleviate my pre-interview stress.

Meet my first love. All thanks to Weili. If i hadn't seen his blog, i wouldn't know much about this phone. I bought it on impulse, even though my current Nokia is only 6 months old. Precisely why i called it 'Love at first sight'
Problem, i don't know what to do with my current handphone. Pfft




Meet my second love. I've decided to call him, Jake


Because one can only devote to only 1 guitar, I'm afraid i have to let the other go.
Tell me, how issit possible to tune a guitar to perfection if that wooden piece keeps coming off? Second time already!
p/s: I did not rip that guitar apart because i was angry. It just broke.
pp/: Neither did i personalise that guitar myself.


My buy for yesterday:



Look at my new bedspread and comforter!

Haha, i don't usually say this but i think my life is almost perfect for now. Not because i bought alot of things.


I went for my interview today at the bank. Group interview!. Tsk. It's like survival of the fittest. We'll see how it goes in a weeks time.

Oh, and here's what happened last weekend:




Chingay Parade at the Heartland.
Pictures were taken from my room's window

Penny and Sense

If my pennystocks were to rise from $0.15 to $0.40 (according to insider, whom he pretty much gave his assurance), that means, i would've made a profit of 166.666667%.

That would be great!

p/s: i'm glad that chivlary is not dead, at least not in somewhere where i live, for i've just spoken to one chivalrous guy. Do we not think that men are chivalrous because they tend to be less expressive? Or is it the way they're being brought up? Their mom didn't teach them how to pull chair for girls or open car doors for them?

I must be more observant

Have you looked past the nice guys?

"I'm sorry
that i bought you roses
to tell you that i like you

I'm sorry
that I was raised with respect not to
sleep with you when you were drunk

I'm sorry
that my body's not ripped enough
to "satisfy" your wants

I'm sorry
that I open your car door, and pull
out your chair like I was raised

I'm sorry
that I'm not cute enough
to be "your guy"

I'm sorry
that I am actually nice;
not an asshole

I'm sorry
I don't have a huge bank account
to buy you expensive things

I'm sorry
I like to spend quality nights at home
cuddling with you, instead of at a club

I'm sorry
I would rather make love to you then
just f**k you like some random guy.

I'm sorry
that I am always the one you need to
talk to, but never good enough to date

I'm sorry
that I always held your hair back when
you threw up,and didn't get mad at you
for puking in my car, but when we went
out you went home with another guy


I'm sorry
that I am there to pick you up at 4am
when your new man hit you and dropped
you off in the middle of nowhere, but
not good enough to listen to me
when I need a friend

I'm sorry
if I start not being there, and being
used as a door mat, only to be thrown
to the side when the new asshole comes
around

I'm sorry
if I don't answer my phone anymore when
you call, to listen to you cry for
hours, instead of getting a couple
hours of sleep before work

I'm sorry that you can't realize.. I've
been the one all along.

I'm sorry
if you read this and know somebody like
this but don't care But most of all

I'm sorry
for not being sorry anymore

I'm sorry
that you can't accept me for who I am

I'm sorry
I can ever do anything right, and
nothing that I do is good enough to
make it in your world.

I'm sorry
I caught your bf with another girl and
told you about it, I thought that was
what friends were for...

I'm sorry
that I told you I loved you and
actually meant it.

I'm sorry
that I talked to you for nine hours on
Thanksgiving when your bf was
threatening you, instead of spending
time with my family.

I'm Sorry
that i cared

I'm sorry
that I listen to you at night talk
about how you wish you could have done
something different.

Ladies always bitch and bitch to their
friends that there is never any good
guys out there, and they always end up
with assholes who mistreat them. Well
ladies next time you're bitching, maybe
look up to see who you're bitching to,
maybe that special someone is right
there hanging on your every word as
usual, screaming in his head "Why won't
you give me a chance?"

Because the person you are usually
searching for is right by you.

If you're a guy and you agree with this
letter, repost as "I'm sorry "

If you're one of the few girls who
would never make your guy feel this
way, repost as "to all the girls who
look past the nice guys".

That's one thing i don't quite understand about my species.
Why do we always go for the jackass rather than the nice guy?
There's this chinese saying : 男人不坏，女人不爱。 (btw,it was mike who taught me how to type mandarin characters)

Could it be because nice guys are easily attainable; so then the challenge factor is not there?
I think it is partly human nature that we always want the things we can't get. And because we can't get, we try even harder to get it. And if we do succeed in getting it, we value it like a prized possesion.

Now, do you all understand why girls are always in love with tearjerkers? These girls are just plain oblivious to the nice guys out there who are willing to treat them like a precious gem. So don't blame them. They just looked past the nice guys.

People make mistakes.

daddy's girl

I'm no spoilt brat for ppl who know me.
Haha. But i think my dad spoils me rotten sometimes

i love my daddy
He's #1!
On CNY Day 3, we were at Raffles City having lunch, then i wanted to try those donuts, but they weren't open. The following day, my said he'll go get it for me.
He queued from 1.30pm till 4.05pm for the donuts!

This was the SMS he sent
Dad: omg, there are 35 ppl in front of me
Me: What? so many ppl? Are you still gonna queue?
Dad: Of course!

Awwwww






But seriously, the wait doesn't justify the taste of the donuts.
Nothing, and i mean NOTHING can beat the formidable, sinfully tasty Krispy Kreme Donuts.
Even Dunkin' Donuts taste better!


Some family lovin'

ps: my dad just set the benchmark for all my potential boyfriends
pps: happy birthday bud!

Ways to write your resignation letter

Which one shall i pick?
I like the 4th one.

I want a money tree

The Phantom of the Opera tickets cost me almost a whopping $300. But i think it's gonna be worth it.

SIGHH

This week, i've decided to buy a penny stock. (to cover my 300 bucks tickets)

I'm paying $0.15 this week. I could've gotten it for $0.11 last week
Bloody hell!
I'm crossing my fingers that by the end of march, it'll go up to at least $0.30

Thing about penny stock is, it's okay to invest abit, rather than have your money sit in the bank and collect a meagre interst of 0.25%.

I would consider penny stock as a high risk investment. Because when you buy them, and if price keeps dipping, it's hard to find a potential buyer because of it's low liquidity, then you'll end up losing more money. And one last impt thing about penny stock is that unlike blue chips, pennystocks have only a handful of shareholders because the company is not that established, they don't have a good track record or history, which makes it harder to pick stocks.

However, if you do get insiders news, then it's the best time to buy. Provided that your insider's news is a reliable one.

Bottom line: Make your money work for you. And not work for your money

I must go sleep now!

Whoopeee $$$$$$$$

I'm in a good mood today, despite some fucker pissing me off last night that i deleted him off my msn list. For being a total prick. Be thankful if you're on my MSN list. I have a high tendency to delete/block ppl from my list.

Today, i got a call from UOB. Heh. I can't waittttttttttt (to go for the interview)

Ahh, and i plan on buying a new guitar. The guitar i have is thrashy as hell.
I threw away my first guitar just few months ago. The second one is really screwed. Can't even tune for nuts, because the wooden part is coming off. Tsk.

I think i want a black acoustic guitar. I hope i find a cheap one

It's Vday tmr. I'd rather be at home than go out with guys shorter than me.
No biggie.

• Waited a long time outside at the lounge waiting for the RF
• Watched Mystic River till we felt damn sleepy

• Played word search before we head to bed

• Dropping off at the wrong bus stop and had to walk 2 busstops
  

Equally great fun, just that it's only the 2 of us.

Retail Therapy!

I'm feeling really good and happy today, because i bought a lot of things.
My trip to Parkway was really fruitful.
Here's what i got:

• A top and a pair of jeans from M&S. (usual price: $49 and $120 respectively) I paid only $52 for both. What a fantastic steal!
• Eyebrown pencil and hair care from Skin Food
• A nice mini stripped purse for coins & handphone
• A Jay Chou CD (very random i know, but it was only $7. Original!)

I also got my friend to get me from Taiwan

• Clinique's 'All about eyes' Eye cream
• BeneFit's Rose tint

I'm am really happy today.
On a way happier note, i've managed to wear those clothes which i couldn't fit into last time
Hip hip hooray.

I'm going to watch Phantom of the Opera with my mom! I've decided to pay for her tickets too because i'm feeling very generous today.

:)

My love for Mark, Tom and Travis

Anyone who was with me throughout my adolescence years would know that i was an ardent fan of Blink 182.
Blink 182 was an 'unknown' band, only when they started releasing their 4th album entitled Take off your pants and Jacket (pun intended, it was meant to be jack it) Hehe. The first time i heard Blink on radio, i was disappointed. They became a pop punk band from then on.

People think that oh, listening to Blink makes them a cool punk. That was when i was wrongly accused of being some punk rock chick.

What rubbish i tell them.

I knew about Blink 182 when i was in Sec2. The first song i heard was Dammit which was on their Dude Ranch album. No one knew about this band. No one has ever heard of their Cheshire Cat, Dude Ranch and Enema of the State albums.
In my opinion, these albums were the best. No doubts about it.

And may i present to you, the best of Blink 182

*cheers for Mark Hoppus* for he has the nicest set of teeth EVER! He is so hot!
