The Past 2 Weeks In Random-ness

Already the disclaimer in the title, this post will be at total random-ness. If you want it in chronological order, piece it yourself.

Some of you might feel that I'm giving "attitude" judging by that one sentence above. I am, I don't care and I think I'm entitled to, because I don't feel too well. I've been having gastric, digestive and bowel problems for the past few days and I have no freaking appetite.
The one thing that I do not need is an onset of a headache, which started to creep in mid-day and is threatening to burst my skull any fucking minute right now. And so, I cab-ed home. And the last thing I needed was a cab smelling as though the can of air freshener was spraying into my nose throughout the whole journey. I swear that if I was feeling drowsy or had a HUGE lunch that had not been digested yet, I would have puked in the cab.

And speaking of smells... I have to state I do not have a hate relationship with perfumes and fragrances. However, I just think that there are just some people who love their fragrances too much.
I was sitting at the very last row of a double-decked bus, the new ones with ramps to facilitate wheelchairs, the other day. I closed my eyes, and was relaxing and enjoying the ride to work.
Then came along a lady who sat across me. She smelt as though as she had splashed a WHOLE bottle of perfume on her. A few stops later, another lady sat beside me. She, too, smelt as if she had splashed a WHOLE bottle of perfume on her. With 2 "bottles" of perfume engulfing me, it wasn't the end. The lady beside me took out her scarf with also smelt as though as she soaked her scarf in ANOTHER WHOLE bottle of perfume!
When I reached office, my nose was numb and I was having a headache.

Sometimes when I get home, I get reminded of why I don't like to be at home. I guess I don't have to explain myself, most of you get the drift...

Sometimes I don't like to explain myself. Sometimes i just don't feel like chatting or talking because I want my fucking peace and quiet. Sometimes I feel that some people try to engage me in a conversation but EPIC fail cos I'm really not fucking interested. Sometimes I feel its tiring to be nice and "entertaining" and sometimes I just feel like telling some people to fuck off and back off. Do I really have to tell u in the face that I don't really feel like talking? Just leave me alone... Puh-lease...

Last week was a kinda tiring but it was a fabulous week. I broke my own OT record by staying one evening till 10.15pm and went back on Saturday to work. AND I cab-ed to work EVERY day... I kinda OT-ed every day, so I reached home late, slept late, and hence, woke up late. However, there was one evening, I went home early, prepared to tuck into bed early so I can avoid cab-ing to work. But I ended up tossing and turning and only got to sleep close to 3am. In the end, I cab-ed to work again... But these "negative" points of the week were overshadowed when I was hanging out with my fabulous people over the weekend!
My weekend started on Friday evening (though I had to work on Saturday) being with my wonderful jiemeis. We went for shabu shabu at a restaurant in Cuppage Plaza. I seriously can't remember the name of the place but apparently it had not too bad reviews. My personal review: there is much room for improvement since the only thing I liked about the place was the sesame sauce. Personally, I don't think I would go back there again if I'm going to compare quality of food vs price. However, I would go back there again if I'm going to compare time spent with my darling galfriends vs price, because the time spent with these gals would negate every single negative point there is!
Saturday evening was spent at timbre at The Arts House with my MDIS classmates. The place was cooling, the music was not too bad and I had a great time chatting, catching up and gossiping with them. Haha... Jack and Rai performed and it was my first time hearing them "live". They are actually not too bad lor.
Sunday was the day that ticked my bio clock... LOL... Went to my friend's princess's one month old celebration! The baby so cute lah! She woke up and it was time for milk. But she did not cried loudly, instead, she was making cute whining sounds and was rubbing her feet against each other! Haha... Dear was commenting he cannot imagine how a baby is going to fit into me cos I'm like so petite. Yah, I LOOK petite but I have an (in my opinion) ugly big fat bum and going by the old wives tale of those with big bums can carry or give birth to babies easily, I think I can "fit" the baby in me lor...

I think this is DAMN funny and I don't care and I'm just gonna blog about it! In my job scope, I work with a few sales/account people who service my company's account. The other day, one of them was looking for me, but accidentally called my boss instead. The first thing this fella said, in Mandarin, was, "oei, where are you?" (We sometimes use this question as a "greeting term", instead of the usual "hello" because sometimes we just need to be in the office to refer to emails as we talked) My boss was like "huh?!" When this fella called me and told me about it, I was laughing my head off cos I can NEVER imagine this fella talking to my boss like that. I still think its funny, till now... hahahahaha

Free Coffee At Starbucks!!!

Exceptional surprise! I didn't know Starbucks would serve coffee on the house and not charge a single cent. I've taken samplers given out by Starbucks staff along the streets but this is the first time I got a Venti Latte for FREE!

What happened was...

I was with my council mates at Starbucks at Cathay, the one at Handy Road near Plaza Singapura for a small discussion yesterday. While settling down, joining 2 tables for the 5 of us and 2 laptops with a powerpoint nearby, the shop's light keep going on and off and at one point, I heard one of the staff even asked someone if there's internet.

When everything seemed "stabilized", I went to get my coffee. Since my friends were going to be late, I wanted to settle for a Venti instead of a Grande and have my favourite coffee drink, Latte. I went over to the counter and the staff joked and asked, "ice water"? I guessed it was because he thought I was just looking for a power point since I asked him earlier. Haha... I was kinda amused and blur at the same time lah. I told him I wanted a Venti Latte and he asked it I wanted a Super Venti. I don't know if it was meant as a joke, but seriously, a Super Venti would be caffeine overkill lah! So I told him a Venti would be ok.

Now, the best part was, everything was up and running, except the Point-of-Sales (POS) machine aka the cash register. I didn't know what was happening to the store or the register, but I just wanted to pay for my coffee and there wasn't some "welcome" message on the thing that tells you your bill. Meanwhile, there was another staff at the register who was looking for the key or something to open the register. And so, when I asked how much, this staff who was at the register told me it was on the house. That's when I managed to put everything together.

I told them, I can give you exact change, and you can key it in later. The staff at the register kept emphasizing, "no its ok, its on the house, really", while the joker one kept saying, "its my treat, but dinner's on you". When I got my Latte, I still wasn't quite sure about the free coffee. But the staffs ensured me again and again.

And so, I got my FREE coffee!!! Hiak hiak hiak...

Paced On The New Paper, Grades, That New Taxi, Blonde Moment, Random Rants, Meme...

Firstly, before I begin the entry per se, I would love to express my deepest and most sincere biggie THANKS to everyone who gave me support, mentally, morally and/or physically during this mad month. Really really very very muchie appreciate all the encouragement you lovely people gave on my taggie and comments page. You guys are the bestest sweetest blogger friends I know lah! Now, entry will start proper...

First I was on Lianhe Wanbao, now, I'm on The New Paper!!! Talk about that 15 seconds or minutes of fame that everyone craves for... Lol...

The article touched a bit on the Student Council. Online version of the article can be found here.

The Student Council's blog is up and running at last!!! My main contribution to the blog so far is the video entitled "Here We Come". Check it out and comment leh... I wana know how my editing skills are... Haha...
The busy-ness never really stopped nor did it slowed down for a while. Want to know more what I've been up to, sneeking around on campus, bothering the school's stuff and that kept me away from blogging? Do visit http://mdissc.blogspot.com/! Although I'm the administrative secretary and wasn't really part of the team that plans the events per se, BUT, still got work to do one lor... Haha...
November will be a real busy period for me. In school, we are organising a huge event lasting for 9 days and I'm working as well. I need to work, I need the money for the on-campus residency in Oklahoma in about 5 months time. Woots! 5 more months!!!! I'm getting damn freaking excited lor!!!

The exam on the 20th went on fine. I was glad I was able to answer more questions that I thought I could. Now for the grades... Remember this entry which I talked about my grades being late? Well, I got my advertising grades, about 6 weeks late, receiving them in mid-September. I took my PR exam on 18 August, and only got the results just a few hours ago. Values and Cultures exam was on 15 September, results are almost 3 weeks overdue. I want my grades!!!

Anyway, remember I talked about a new taxi operator on the roads in this entry? I took it the other day. But honestly ah, judging by the taxi fare chart, I don't see how cheaper it is... The only good thing I could think of is that it runs on CNG and is environmental friendly. This is how it loks like...












Was in the school canteen yesterday afternoon. There were 2 girls, standing between a pillar and a clean, unoccupied table, wanting to fill up a form. Guess which one they chose. Hint: For a moment, I thought they chose to do so because they felt that there were too little blondes in school... Honestly, I laughed so hard, I was squatting on the floor. Yep, that's the mean side of me...

Sometimes, are people too self-centered or just plain brainless? There was a car, parallel-parking with only half a car body in the lot, while the other half was jutting out towards the "lane" in the carpark. I wished I could have taken a pic of it being such a safety hazard. Is it just me being paranoid? Is it only me that I'm being such a big idiot who cares if my actions will inconvenience others? Is it just me being stupid enough to care for others, while other don't simply just give a shit and only do things that convenience them? Wouldn't the world be a better place to live in if others would just spare a teeny weeny little thought for others?

Dearest Daphne, thank you so so very biggie muchie for the Hello Kitty Nice Matters Award!!! And yes, here's the meme that I got tagged...

Hmm... All Balls...

I was reading this comic strip of cleats just now. When I came to the 2nd frame, I was laughing like mad. Why? Because I was thinking not everyone has balls the "dirty" way... Ok, I know not funny, but I didn't know what cracked me up. Enjoy the strip!

What are you thinking of?! Comic strip lah!

EPL Player Works For Singapore?!

An ultimate end to withdrawal syndromes suffered during the absence of good soccer matches. Some funny stuff I and Dear picked out while watching the matches...

During Sunderland vs Tottenham...
Commentator: D*** Whitehead
Me: Huh? Dick Whitehead?
Bf: (laughing) Don't think so, but I also heard Dick Whitehead
Name superimposes on image of player reading Dean Whitehead
Me n Bf: Chey! Dean Whitehead lah...

During Bolton vs Newcastle...
We found a player who is working for Singapore. He's a CID... Gerald Cid... lol...

During West Ham vs Man City...
Schmeichel plays for Man City in goal
Me: Huh? Schmeichel? Which Schmeichel is this? Schmeichel's (Peter) son ah?
Bf: Maybe Peter Schmeichel's son. Check lah.
Me: (went to google for Kasper Schmeichel) Yah lor, Peter Schmeichel's son! But he don't look like his dad! Peter Schmeichel stand in goal, half gone. This one stand there machiam like ant. Then his nose so small, his dad's nose so big...
When the match ended, I was thinking maybe he has his dad's genes, kept a clean sheet...

During Aston Villa vs Liverpool...
Bf: Do you know there are 2 Alonso-es now in EPL?
Me: Yah
Bf: Next time Liverpool play Bolton, wah lau...
Me was thinking, last time got 2 Neville-s also like that, 2 Ferdinand-es also like that... So 2 Alonso-es and then? No and then mah...

Whatever! Whatever!

If I'm reprimanding my kid and if he/she does this, I don't know whether to cry, laugh or get angry. Got this from youtube.

Love

Well, I'm not exactly an expert when it come to "love", but all I know is that you really love someone very very deeply, deepest to the right down the bottom of your heart when the following scenario happens...

It's time to get out of the house and you have switched off the fan and closed the window in your room. You ever dearest steps into the room, switches on the fan, says something and leave the room, wanting to leave the house. You then again switch off the fan and proceed out out the room, into the living room. The tv and fan in the living room are still switched on. There you have your ever dearest, sitting down there and telling you to switch off the tv and fan. You must be thinking, "Since he's waiting for me, why didn't he switch off the tv and fan. And why must he switch on the fan in the room again?" When you nag at him, he acts cute and tries to get away with it.

A few things that can follow...
1) If you are trying hard to be angry and still can laugh, you really love this idiot a lot.
2) If you are fuming mad and still can laugh, there's room for improvement.
3) If you are fuming mad and not laughing nor smiling, give the relationship a check.

Then when you hop onto a cab, you realise you had forgotten to bring your hp along.

All the while, I was "1"...

Oops!

I'm a crude person. i vent my anger n fustrations by swearing n cussing. the sales flr was messy, customers were non-stop moving towards the counter asking to test cd, pay for their cd and to make enquiries. it was a case of getting more n more flustered n fustrated when you're serving one, n b4 u can serve finish, another one goes "excuse me", n u have to please everyone single one of them (singaporeans love n dig "personalised" service...).

then came this breaking point when a customer came to ask about LMF's cd. LMF is a hong kong band whose full name is Lazy Mutha(mother) Fucka(fucker). almost naturally, i went, "oh, u mean lazy mother fucker?". the customer put his hand to his mouth (a bit kinda gay i thk, but it was damn hilarious) n went "gasp". i continued as per normal by directing him to take a look at the system while it's checking for the band's name. meanwhile, while laughing at his reaction in my mind, i felt better, no make it great! cos at last i had a "license" to swear at the sales flr! hahahaha...

p/s: more LMF enquiries pls... lol...
