It's time I make my blogging short & sweet (bleagh!) 

Watching yesterday's episode of nip/tuck...It started off pretty silly. Fancy a severed head talking. Talk about being schizophrenic...
But towards the end..One word. Heart-wrenching.

I can't believe I actually make a fool of myself with the previous blog...I sure sound like one of those silly girls who actually hold hopes of snaring their fav. actor...Bleagh... Dream on.
 
Whatever.. I wonder if there's anyone one there who has an effective remedy for absent-mindedness..Of the serious kind. Really... Yesterday, driving home from work, I actually did not turn on the headlights. Yeap..And I left the office at 1930..Dark, I'd say. It's only after I drop my collegue off, that this lady has the courtesy of flagging me down to tell me bout' my headlights... (Thank god it's a civillian...Not the TP..Phew!) I almost banged my head on the steering wheel. Dumb-ass! What if something happened?! Of course I never breathe a word of this to my family.. (Esp. moi dad..) He'll nag...and nag...and nag.....
 
The reason why I dared to blog this is beacuse my family dunno bout' this blog...Hope my bro dun figure out... Well... it helps if u guys keep mum.... Orite?! *lock pinkies*

As always, this Alias Episode left me thrilled. So thrilled I can't sleep yet. Yikes! 
Somebody should write in to ABC tv and suggest that there be a movie version of this awesome TV show. Will blow everyone away(me esp.)! This and CSI..Or CSI:Miami. All greeeaaat shows ever. Mind-blowing!
Gosh I stumbled upon the Alias 'spoilers' page. Luckily I never read, or I'll never forgive myself for it....So much for suspense...Posted by Hello

I AM getting lazier and lazier to update this thingy. See the pic of the Greeks? Still there! That was ages ago! Sheesh...
My weekend calendars now jam-packed(esp. now with me being the full time driver). Basir & the other guys..So so sorry. Been turning down our meet-ups 2 straight weeks..I noe u guys are pissed. But I will try to make it for the nex un'.
Jus warning you, the National Day weekend is out of question. Got weddingSSSSS..Is that 5s there? That's the no. of weddings that weekend, including the big un', my own cousin's wedding. That will take up the whole of that Sun. That weekend would not have been busy for me, if not for the fact that I have to bring my parents to all the various locations for the jemputanssss. Why, oh why do my bro have to work as a lifeguard(trainee) !
Can't he take a regular 9-5 job or at least one that have off-days on the weekends! Hmmpf! Who am I to complain? Not that I dun like to drive, but I kinda despise long distance driving. Just step on the gas and nothing else and brake a bit when it goes too fast. No adventure, lah! But night drives are fun, esp. down ECP. Love that place. Gotta go there someday...Again. Heee..
My dad should get his license, man. Not as if he can't drive. He just dun want to. Maybe he's the scared un'...My cousin has be chiding me.."Eh, like this, whenever I see ur parents, I'll c u, lah?" He may be joking, but it hit right on target. My already dissipating life is diminished. Now I'm my parents "little girl" aka The Driver. Heh, sounds like a character from Kill Bill...
That saturday I chose to go out with my fren, leaving my parents having to go to Jurong on their own. Felt so bad, man... Well, I can't have my cake & eat it at the same time. Please moi frens or appease moi parents... Take it or leave it. Ciao.

Nothing pisses me off more that clashing tv programmes. Ever had one day when you have to struggle with the remote control, practice perfect timing and solely trust your instincts all at the same time cos' all your 3 favourite tv programmes are playing at 3 different channels? The best part - all chose to play the commercials at the same time. Drats!
Especially last wednesday. I discovered that Amazing Race played at 2000 on AXN. I decide to catch that since I'm sending me mom to work at 2230 and will miss the Ch 5 version. Then the greatest part. . .
2130-TV 3-Black Sash
2200-Central-Film Art 'Adour'
2300-Ch 5-CSI:Miami
2330-Starworld-Charmed

Last Friday....Indonesian Idol @ 2030 RCTI}
Malaysian Idol @ 2100 TV 8} This un the best - I risk missing the GOOD CONTESTANTS SINGING..sheesh....

Hey there, sorry, lah...Been sometime since I last update my blog but I'm juz too tired. Full time driver, part-time daughter. Been ferrying my parents around, esp. sinc my poor gramma is now in Jurong, been goin there to & fro.
Nothing much except that this weekend has been lotsa' 'first times' for me as a driver. 1st time on expressways, parking at multi-storey CPs, go to shopping malls, use cashcard payment, parallel parking and joyride to ECP with my pal, Shyba. All in 2 days. See, told you I drove around(thou a bit too much...)
My gramma looks so shrunken now that I was so scared for her. She just been thru' knee surgery only yet she looked like she been thru' much worse. This happened before... My great-gramma only broke her hip-bone and now she's no more...One thing leads to another....Wokay..wokay..She's gonna be fine..She's gonna be fine....Insya-Allah...em>

Greece won, lah. My bro called it, "A present for the Olympics." Rubbish. Buth Greece & Portugal ain't really my fav. but been a little on Portugal's side towards the end. But Greece did play really well this morn. I may not realli like Christiano "The-Teen" Ronaldo tat much but his passion can put other senior players to shame. He may lose a ball but he will go all the way to get it back. Maybe that passion comes with his youth. Nonchalance.
Then there's the Ex-Brazilian "Hoobastank" Deco. Little thing that has a talent that's way bigger than his size. Whoa! All that hoo-haa bout' Luis "most-no.-of-fouls-in LaLiga" Figo not liking Deco's status as a former Brazilian made me curious bout' this little fella. But Figo deserves some respect too, esp. after his play with Holland. "The Evangelist", the say. Whatever. But to discard that ever-burdening ego of his, for the sake of team unity, esp. since he's the captain, he's reached another level. Scolari still the best coach(hey, Brazil didn't win the World Cup for nothin..) Oh, sorry Wenger, you too.
Thought I am not affected by Portugal's loss, but when my boss(who's not into soccer) asked me who won, my heart sank. Maybe the truth hurts after all. But things happen for a reason, dun they? Thinking bout' those sad/unhappy/disappointed faces of fans & players alike...my heart really goes out to them. Hey, I can still feel it while typing this...
Amazing. The tournament ends the same way it starts. With the loss, included. Strange, but true.... Hey, how much have you guys lost/won???!! Posted by Hello

*YaWn* I'm still sleepy (thou I make no effort to sleep yet..)
I didn't expect this morn's match to drag on for soooo long. I was alreadi cursing for it had caused me to lose > 1hr's worth of ppprrreciousss...sleep.Draw once. X-tra time. Draw 2wice. Then penalty shootout. 2nd shootout. By then I was like, "Oh, gosh, pls let it end soon...." Inside, I was like,"And make sure England lose. Pleeasssee..." Just to make all this lack of sleep worth it. Doesn't help that I am clocking in an hour early for work 2dae. Seriously, I'm not a fan of Portugal. I just wanna c England's defeat. I can hear ppl saying, "Sadisttt!" Hey, to each his own. I made my choice. Now, France & Greece. Top-dog & underdog.
Another thing....(Ok let's sing together, now..) "I got my nuuu car..I got my nuuu car..." Yep yep yep. Just got my car this evening. My cousin (who drove it) managed to covince me to drive it during the last leg home. It's now or neva. I did. It's smoooth, baby! Duh! All new things are nice. Can't wait for my bro to come back & hit the roads again for a nite drive. Maybe even the expressways. Woo hoo!
Driving isn't that bad after all. Xcept tat I've yet to recover my parking skills. Yet to park at multi-storey CPs and master the art of filtering. After that maybe I can drive on my own...full-time. *wink*

Gotta watch the showdown bet. England & Portugal..So fast! Got no time to catch enuff' sleep. Guess what? My boss knew I stay up to watch these matches. It sure doesn't help that I thought I saw him noticing me sleeping on the job. Shucks! I remember, he was about to discard the newspaper he used during lunch when he decide to read it. Suddenly he asked," Siti, u watch soccer, rite?" I was flabbergasted(so he was reading the sports news)... "Ermm..Yeah."
Then he asked, "So did you stay up to watch?" Whoops. "Urh, only some. Those important ones." Gosh I can't believe he still remembered I love soccer. I remember telling him last time that I didn't look for a job soon after school ended cos' I wanna catch World Cup '02. What a thing to tell your boss! Ish! Oh ya, he managed to ask, when I told him the matches start at 0245, "Did you actually stay awake all the way?" I was quick to answer, "I sleep first, then wake up."
His wife even managed to add, "Oh, I've been wondering why you've been wearing specs these past few days...Cos' your eyes are too tired to wear lenses after watching soccer.." Huh? I never thought of that. I quickly tell her bout the 'tembel' I had on my eye which caused it to swell. Great.
Tomorrow is the day we collect the new car. I said 'we' cos' it won't be just my dad & myself(or bro). My uncle & cousin are coming along. Seems like both are more excited bout' this newbie than I am. Maybe I'm just quivering at the thought of driving again after a long time...It doesn't help that my mom has plans to go out early Sat morning. Go here go there. Doesn't she understand I may have difficulty driving around with my rusty skills and a brand new car?? My dad(who understands) keep giving each other 'the rolled-eyes' whenever she talk bout' goin out this Sat. Pressure, man!

2 of my fave teams out of Euro '04 alreadi. *sob sob Moi Spaniards and hot-blooded Italian...Uwaaahhh!
Next stop-The Dutch or the Germans. I'm neutral bout these teams. Either one will do. The French hasn't been playing THAT well, but I'm still glad they're in. Hey, moi fave team! Still gotta support, what....Sleeping really well now cos' I'm not gotta miss a single match from the quarter finals on... Hold on tight!!!!

Sunday, June 20, 2004

I mentioned the the camera & the film thingy in my previous post. Well, I now realized y...My cousin msg my dad @ 3pm, saying that she's given birth to a baby girl. Wow!..Sigh..Another new life into this crappy world...
My parents got all excited. Not surprisingly, they mentioned bout' goin to the hospital to visit her that very day. I can't believe my parents. Keep wanting to go out. And there's no car yet. How about when the car finally arrived? I'm gonna die!! Who else to drive but yours truly...? I think every month we r gonna bust lotsa $$$ on petrol & carparking.
Ok, back to topic. We really visit my cousin at ard 4+. I was kinda paiseh to knoe that we actually arrived earlier that the baby's OWN grandparents.*blush*....This thing bout newborn babies..So red, so fragile.Sooo...tiny. Of course I neva carried her. I dunno y I'm scared of carrying babies.Scared I'll break them or something. Maybe it's the dropping part. Whateva.
Aniwae, the other family members arrived later on. I got camera crazy. Click here, click there. Got 16 more film!Was worried bout the impact of flashlight on babies but I was told that babies can only see propoerly when they're bout' 4mths old. The ones who told me that? My 2 MALE cousins. Talk bout being paiseh..*blush again*.
Desperate to finish that roll of film, I asked my zany cousin to finish it up. Dunno what he clicked at...
Stopped by Bedok to top-up ez-link. Remembered my dad once wanted to eat at LJS. So I suggested having dinner there. Satisfaction guaranteed. The waffle fries taste superb. Less salty than the original uns... Then it's home. Here I am. Will post pictures as soon as I washed the film. Time to go digital, baby. All this washing & scanning is getting strenuous!

Celebrated Daddy's Dae yest. Kinda' cool, I guess. Just that my bro can't join us. Him and his new job...
Yep, aniwae, we had lunch at Pondok Gurame, East Coast. My mom wana go to the one at Lot 1 cos' it's new but...hello??! The weather is so darn hot! We even took a cab. Lunch was great. The best is of course the fried Gurame. Yum! Oh, and the sambal belachan. Superrr spicy! My mom say it taste good cos' got buah binjai. Whateva that is...
While at East Coast, we decide to walk to Parkway Parade(again??!)...Great weather. Not too hot. Lotsa' breeze..I realli mean lots. Some ppl sleep in hammocks. We chose a secluded spot and sat. My mom sat by the beach. She looked sooo round from the back (Think she's startin to put on weight). My dad & I took a pic on his fone. Cute! Ha har...I 4got bout the camera at home. Still got some film left from yest's gathering. But I remembered that it's thru' a camera & some unfinished film that I discovered my version of The Butterfly Effect (click here to see). So I decide to let it be & not fret so much..(Although it seems such a waste cos the beach looked sooo good..) At Parkway, what else but shop, lor. Have a great cuppa at Ya Kun. Luurve that place. It's where ppl still eat kaya toast & 1/2 boiled eggs despite it being almost 6pm!( I think my daddy's hooked on their coffee). Survey various hp. My fone...gone-case, ppl can't hear me talking to them... *sob...
Go home, very shagged. Watch tv..What else? Didn't even go online. Almost slept at midnite. Luckily bro (who's getting darker by the day) reminded me to watch W.S. If not...Uwaaahhhh! Posted by Hello

Had a sort-of class gathering today. Kind of. It's actually Liyun's bdae and maybe ard 1/2 the class were there. Ok lah. Great time to catch up with one anothers' lives...
The dae didn't realli start well for me...Do you eva have ONE day when everything seem to go wrong??? Maybe 2dae's MY dae. early morning, got stomachache of the major kind.(I think yesterday's mee soto got super-extra chilli..) Then in the office I realize I 4got me fone(to refer to previous post).
When I actually planned to leave early, my boss gave me a new job at 5pm and told me to get the layout ready by 6pm (wonderwoman, here I comeee!!!)Sigh..Of all days...Then even after I get the work done b4 630..I began to feel 'paiseh' bout' leavin b4 me bosses. So I stayed. They left a little b4 7.
Went to the main road to get a cab. Neil.Nacht.Null.Void.Whateva. There's juz no taxis. I began to feel like the new Stamford Raffles. 20mins...Still no cab. It occured to me that the other side may have some. None. A min later, I looked again. One. A little more..Another one. That's it. I'm crossing over. Juz dun tell me there's a cab on the side where I once stood like an idiot...Less then 1min, I'm alreadi in a cab..The journey, thank goodness is alrite. Yeah, then its time to pay...$17??! Erk! The Q at the ATM is like buying 4D. Patience, my fren...Figuring out wat to buy...I'm in a hurry & yet, need to buy sumthin...Ahah! Cards & Such! What can I get..Hmm..Cute beanie babies...Less than $10. At 10% disc..Got a duck and scented candle. Upon payment, I got 'psychoed' by the lady to buy a carrier..$5 additional..What got into me, man. Can't I juz say no? Must be this place. Last time I came here..I bought a car.Yikes!
Bus trip was ok...Managed to put film in and the card out of my 'rubbish' bag. On the lift, I wondered how I'm gonna noe her house when I dun haf her unit no?? Stepping out of the lift.."Bayya!!" Ok, my question answered. Her unit's nex to da lift.
Rest awhile, then I went out to the BBQ area. Oh no! My slipper strap snapped. My slipperrr!!! Darn, it's gonna b a looong way home...
I hobbled around in those. Managed to take some pics. I should have juz bought a 12 instead of 24. Now what am I gonna do bout' the other 14??
Luckily Lixian's guy wanna send to MRT. I dragged Xavier & A-long along. Paiseh, lah go alone...Expect the unexpected...I was dropped off at Admiralty, not Woodlands. My mistake. The silly me(hoobling ard with rubberband-strapped slippers) actually followed my frens cross the bridge onli to realize I need to take the bus from the other side. #@$^%&*!!!
Almost slept in the bus(despite me lenses). But those jerks behind me just can't cease talkin nor lower the volume... At Tampines..when taking 22, I actually intend to sit on the uppa deck. Fat chance. I almost trip on that slipper while boarding. Just sit downstairs...*frown*
Well...At least I'm home safely (despite all those mishaps). Just had an MSN conversation with Nadia & Haron, my ol' classmate from Sec sch...Miss those daes...

Friday, June 18, 2004

Today, of all daes...Why..Oh y....did I forget my hp, todae...?! Good alternative. Email.(bless it!) Managed to get thru' to Vien to get Liyun's & Iris's fone number. Juz in case... All I noe is tat from Woodlands Int, take 900 and drop off at the 3rd bus stop. Cool huh? Then after that I can shout her name and hope really hard thet she'll respond.
What can I get for someone on her b-dae when u r really broke and payday is a week away? A card. And...??? But it's the thought that counts, isn't it? Hmm..
My mom asked, this morn, when will we get the car. I heck-care. Dun wanna think bout' it. She mentioned that the SPA thingy with her mom and aunt is postponed till nex' wk. So I guess she'll want me to drive, lah. Hello?! Last time I drive was during Hari Raya and I think my drivin skills are pretty rusty alreadi...And I'm goin to drive around in that brand-new car that I just bring out of the workshop??? I better warn the insurance company in advance....

Thursday, June 17, 2004

Wah, my frens damn cute, man...Told me there's a gathering cum b-dae celabration at ECP...I tot that it's a good deal..They even mention camping (sleep in tents) & maybe BBQ...Such an anti-climax..Maybe my fault awso...neva enquire early(got the info since last Sun)...
The actual and confirmed location of the gathering is at Woodlands...See how far it is??..But I guess I'm goin, after all. It's not often that there's a class gathering like this..(not if someone has the initiative to have it regularly)... hmm..This is one of the times that I wish the car arrived already...Easier to get ard...Can't wait!!! yar..yar...Hopefully I can still remember how to drive...Been a loong time, man!
Missed an important soccer match yest...How can I miss Spain?? Gosh! @#&%^$!!!!

Tuesday, June 15, 2004

Watching the Denmark vs. Italy match yesterday was such a waste of time!! No goals; the ball practically circulate in the centre. Blah! No mood to check out the players. Not when they hardly perform...My bro said(dunno if he's jokin or not) theat Italy's gonna have 3 penalties. I was like, "Huh?". He said that the mafias have paid certain ppl...Gettit? Wonder which grapevine he got it from... I hate it when the beauty of a game is disrupted by all the fouls and stuff. Bring on the game! The REAL game. If Italy gonna go on playin like tis, I lay my hopes only on France. Disparaissent les misters! Go monsieurs!!! (Lame attempt at French)...

Sunday, June 13, 2004

DON'T read this post yet. Read the one b4 this first..
Ok, lah I decide to con't with the CHANGI JOYRIDE stuff. Got lotsa'time to spare b4 the ultimate match between my fave team(France) & my kinda-disliked team(England). Dunno y I dun like Eng. so much. Maybe it's the captain. Maybe I had enuff' of the Premiership. Just dun like them. I dun like to jump on bandwagons but I'll stay by my France, still. Go France! Dun let me down!!!!
Ok, kinda' out of topic there..Where did I stop?? Oh the part where the door opened...Actually it's not the WHOLE door. It's a 2-leaf door, u c. So only 1 leaf opened. But, HELLO??!
At first it only opened ajar. 'Beezkut', who's sitting in front was like,"Alamak, the door opened! Door opened!!" He was by now lookin back. My bro told me later that he actually wind down his window hastily. Dun' blame him thou. He's sittin on the side where he'll be next to that door. Khai, who sat in the middle was lookin back while pretending to talk to my bro. 'Anjang' who actually opened the side door for ventilation already slide it close. Everyone was still. I was sittin at the back(beside the hind window). Then my bro(he's the onli one lookin in front) said,"Eh, pintu bukak lagi besar, lah!!" The single-leaf door is no longer ajar. It's fully open-to total darkness inside. Ok, that's it. This IS creepy. I was cursing my bro already. Can't he reverse for real? He's still driving into that driveway(near THAT door).He kept trying 2 get proper clearance while reversing & I notice that wheneva he had to make 3-pt turn(like what he's done previously), there's always a banana tree behind. I was hoping he neva hit it while reversing.(I was sittin at the back.) When he finally managed to drive off, all of us looked back at the bungalow. The opened door is like...Like it's actually welcoming us to come inside..Whoa..Goosebumps.
We came back to where that empty church is. My bro actually stopped there. They(the guys)got off. I was like, "What the..??" Heck, since they got off, no point waitin inside that stuffy van. I got off, too.The fresh air is..refreshing. Duh.
U knoe what e' guys did? They actually peed. Then they explore the nearby church. I watched from afar. They went behind the church, knock here, knock there..Then they went up the slope to the empty bungalow nex' door. Dunno wat they did there(can't see them already). I absorbed myself in the surrounding. I loove the peacefulness. The air so fresh(almost 3AM). So quiet. No wonder there are chalets here.
The guys explore the church area again before comin back to the van.I asked what they saw. I was told that a part of the church is extra chilly, like there's air-con. Whatever.
Next, we finally returned to civilisation. Got to 7-11. Bought snacks for early morning picnic @ Changi beach. Tol' my bro I gotta pee(weak bladder) and we stopped @ the beach toilet. No worries, it's brightly lit. We picnic near the water-breaker at Meetin point 2.Chill, man. The sky look like it's gonna pour its load but we heck-care.In fact, there's lightning every now & den.We snack around. The guys sang soppy luv songs(maybe that's why it's gonna rain) and juz' enjoy the breeze. My fav. momont is when the planes flew right above us and we can see their bellies. Kewl! Spent more than 1hr there b4 headin back to the chalet. The chalets in our row are empty so each group slept at the patio of the empty units. So tired liao..Zzzzz..We managed only 2-3hrs of sleep. Hangover.
