SATC

My all time favourite feel-good TV show. Not the movie, for i haven't seen it (yet)

This show never fails to provide comfort, or at least it makes you feel that you're luckier than those 4 hags sophisticated ladies. I could almost relate to them in every single way, except from those Manolo Blahnik shoes.

To me, it is like the Oprah Winfrey show. Situations are real yada yada. However, one thing i couldn't understand is, how these women can have 40+ partners! (yes,i do know its a tv drama!) Talk about infidelity and promiscuity. And that is something i totally disapprove of.

One day, a colleague of mine asked me, "what would you do if you find out if your husband cheated on you"? I told her if he's really sorry for what he did, i may forgive him, otherwise, i'll cheat on him. An eye for an eye?

I know what it's like to be in a unfaithful relationship. Afterall, i was considered Ms Third Party . Honestly, not the best feeling in the entire world. Your heart feels like they're tearing apart. You don't know to love him or to hate him. However, i would like to believe, the feelings at the end of the day will turn to hatred. And i can attest to that this very moment.

Yesterday, G called me whilst i was at work. It was one of those surprise calls again. Still couldn't fathom why he insists on these fucking random calls. I hate randomness. We talked for barely 5 minutes before he had an incoming call, and never had the courtesy to call back. Neither did i, since he was the one who called me first. (and i'm not trying to sound childish nor petty)

So anyway, like Carrie, I never could understand why she chose to cheat on her boyfriend with Big. The guy who treated her like crap, yet she still went back to him. Women are indeed strange creatures.

Why do we always fall for the bad ass? Is it because we always expect them to be nasty, and then when they treat us nice (when we least expect), we get trigger happy. And thats what makes the relationship more exciting. Compare this to a guy who makes you happy 24/7, and you totally expect all of that. Which is far more interesting? I'd rather the latter for i value stability. Alot.

Disclaimer: I'm so over G. So this post is entirely about women in general.

b.

Today was more than great.
I've finally succumbed to self indulgence and have decided to go all extravagant today.
I bought myself an agnès b bag.
The whole idea of going to town was to utilise that shit Taka Voucher i've been keeping for yonks, check out kate spade and some LV wallets. I realised i needed to fuckin' queue to get into LV.

I took a walk around Taka and saw agnès b. I was contemplating between a wallet/coin pouch/keychain holder.

Alas, i bought myself a gym bag, which i think is versatile and can serve other purposes and not just for gym. It was a whopping $245. (there was subsequently a 10% discount, and i used my $50 voucher). At first glance, it doesn't look anything spectacular. It really is plain. But this is simplicity at its best. It is not even leather. It's water-proof canvas. I'm quite in love with it this very moment. Let the picture speak for itself!



But i'm still very bent on getting a nice walllet!

And here are more random pictures.

humid

Is it the weather, or is it me suffering from hyperthermia?
I've been feeling perpetually sticky all day long despite the numerous showers i have had today.
It's like there is a uber huge amount of water vapour molecules around me all damn day, till i got so irritated, i've decided to go take another shower.

I've got so much on my mind and i can't get to bed. :\

weekends

I'm starting to hate weekends.

I barely do anything productive on weekends but bum around at home, most of the time; otherwise, i'll be at the gym doing the same old shit.

I'm starting to hate life as a 20 something. Seems like nothing interesting is even happening in my life. Everything seems to have become stagnant. And each damn day is a routine. Yes, even on weekends. The only redeeming thing about the weekends is i don't have to work. (In my case, weekend would only mean Sunday) Talk about my job being a bitch! (pls refer to paragraph below)

I'm starting to hate my job. I love what i'm doing, but sometimes the pressure puts me off, till i totally resent it. In fact, if there isn't any pressure, i can be sure i would be totally devoted to my job.

Life isn't perfect, we grumble because life is unfair, but at least give me a 轰轰烈烈 life! I'm too bored of my life. I swear my mandarin has improved quite a bit. In no time, i'm confident of blogging in mandarin.

late nights

I couldn't sleep last night for the strangest reason. My heart was palpitating, i kept tossing and turning. And i thought it was the medication that i took, which was supposed to make me drowsy. But no, i was going through some kinda anxiety attack. Fucking scary. I think i'm too stressed at work. Sigh

It's been a while since i had such an anxiety attack. The last i had was the night before my Cell Biology Paper. I cramped all 22 chapters for the entire semester in 1 night, with barely 40 minutes of eye shut. I was hallucinating a bit after the paper. Thank goodness it wasn't during the paper, otherwise i wouldn't have scraped through it with a B+.

You may think i sound psychotic, but in all honesty, i truly miss studying. I love the smell of new textbooks, and those crisp pages. Speaking of smell, recently i've discovered that i love the smell of chinese medicinal shop. They call it 药材店. Like how some people feel high at the petrol kiosk because they love the smell of petrol, the smell of 药材 has the same effect on me. It's like smelling tea bags. Very aromatic. And i digressed. Yes studying. I've decided to sign up for CFA June 2009, hopefully USD drops even more, then i won't fork out that much. Then i can study again (i can bet with my own life, i'm gonna regret saying this 1/3 through the syllabus). CFA I consists of 6 textbooks, a total of 8000+ pages, and i have 5-6 months to study for it.

Today, my mom cut her finger while trying to break one of my hair treatment vials. I feel so guilty.

I've decided to take my risk appetite to a whole new level by sharing a bluechip lot with my mom. WOOT! (gawd bless me!)

Also, i had the worst tasting pearl milk tea today. I didn't like it at all.

goodnight one and all. I'm gonna rub some vicks vapourub on my feet. Strange but true, they actually suppress cough at night. Go try it out. I get high on Vicks vapourub too! They rock my sock!



p/s: has the colour of the entry blinded your eyes?

snort, whizzes and phlegm

Most people can't spell 'phlegm'. I usually get crap like 'flame' or 'plegm'. Which is totally way off from the correct spelling.

The above is utterly random, but for the uninitiated, 'phlegm' is spelt P-H-L-E-G-M.

No brownie points for guessing, i've been feeling right under the weather.

The holy trinity ala flu, fever and cough have conquered my Redoxon immune system. Seems like that 1000mg of Vit C which i've been taking religiously isn't powerful enough for the invincible influenza bug. You know how they always say you should take lotsa vit C to strengthen your immune system. I'd like to think it's utter crap to down all 100omg at one go, because that's way beyond the RDA, and all excess vitamins will be excreted. Get time released vitamins! Then again, we wouldn't really know if time release capsules really release vitamins bit by bit.

So just like how i'm feeling right now, sick and groggy, and in another words, sucky; which inadvertently speaks the same for my sales this month. This is no good.

I should upload some pictures soon. I've taken quite a few shots, but i'm simply too lazy to put them up.

May i get well soon.

xoxo

Always Be My Baby - David Cook



I never liked any Mariah Carey songs, but this cover by David Cook really takes the cake. I am really speechless. I never knew a Mariah Carey song could sound this good.

Enjoy!

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No!

You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I ain't gonna cry no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you'll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I know that you'll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oooohhh
I know that, you'll be right back, babe
Ooooh! baby believe me it's only a matter of time

You'll always be apart of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my my baby....

You'll always be apart of me (you will always be)
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on (we will linger on....)
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

Always be my baby

wishbone

Was reading some food blogs (one of my favourite things to do online) and i stumbled upon a blog that wrote a review about Wishbone.

Wishbone is a super uber old school restaurant serving hainanese food and western food at Bukit Timah Plaza. I haven't been there ever since my family moved to the east, but trust me, i still remember how the old Bukit Timah Plaza looks like. Also, one thing i remember at wishbone was i saw a T-bone steak for the first time, and was very intrigued by the shape. I was 4 yrs old then.

I also remembered there was a WaffleTown directly opposite Wishbone, and on the second level was Yaohan departmental store.

damn old school.

I wanna go back to Bukit Timah.

neckache

My neck is still aching. It's been months. Bloody hell.
Recently, I've tried yoga, and to a small extent, i think it did help alleviate the pain.

Can't seem to figure out why the ache still persists. I've been very conscious about my seating position, although sometimes i will unknowingly slouch like coach potato while dozing off in front of the tv Another reason could be my sleeping posture. Interestingly, i can't sleep facing up. I need to sleep side ways (particularly the right side), with my knees curled. I've tried facing left, but i can't sleep. This is really strange.

Damn annoying.

Alot of things have been annoying me lately.

pfft

peace to me, peace to the world.

stirred and shakened

Two days back, i was entrenched in an emotional turmoil again. Yes, this is the umpteenth time.
But forgive me, while i pour my woes and whines once again.

The funny thing about me is i always like to regret whatever i do. I knew i should've stopped calling him, or even texting him. Yes, I didn't call or text him for the past 2 months. But i emailed him 2 days ago. Yeah, like WTF right. Thing is, I've been hearing so much about how he's leaving the company from fellow colleagues. Again, curiosity kills the cat as some might say, I had this raging desire to contact him again to ask about his resignation and plans for the future.

The email seemed normal, and raw. What i meant by raw is that the closeness between us is not there, everything seems so formal and prim. Sigh. I admit i do miss him at times, and one of those times was 2 days ago. It didn't stop at email. We met for drinks after training. I knew i was in for some serious shit once i meet him. The aftermath is what I'm feeling just about now.

The meeting like the email with him was nothing like having a huge concrete block wedged between us. I feel like there's no way i could connect with him, talk to him, or even openly express how i feel about myself. I feel like there are so many masks i have to wear. Like trying to act nonchalant, or just being that nothing-more-that-friends, just a colleague person with him. I can't even confidently say that we'll remain as good buddies in the future. I simply can't tell him exactly how i feel, which is quite the opposite of what i was when i was with him last time. The stark contrast scares me. It's like a 180 revolutionary change in us, in him and in me.

This is definitely beyond my expectations really. The least i thought could've happen between us is that we just remain as good friends where we can talk cock and bitch about work. However, with him, it was like me playing Aunt Agony, hearing him talk about his work woes all the time. Of course i have my fair share of misery, him being the biggest, followed by work; but there simply was no way i could open my mouth to let him. Maybe it's one of those self defense instinct instilled in us human, to be wary of people who've hurt us.

He's a very observant person who can tell emotions by looking at one's eye. So many times i adverted my gaze when he tried to stare at me in my eyes. I didn't want him to know my emotions. Alas, he knew that i was unhappy. How do you even tell if someone is unhappy man? The facial expressions, body language or tone of voice? I never knew how he did that, at least i knew i tried not to look him in the eyes.

It's interesting to know how guys never really wanna talk about a problem that exists and hasn't been solved. Especially for someone like him, who talked so much about honesty, emotions blah blah. I guess that's one reason why i was unhappy. He never did ask about how i was doing or apologised for all that i went through. Sometimes it's not the things that he did, but what he didn't do. I got affirmation for the second time already. He's definitely no good for me, but why do i still want him in my life, or expect him to come back into my life. Maybe i'm too caught up with past memories. Never thought i would feel this way even at this juncture.

If only he knew exactly how i feel.

I HATE ME
