Tell me what men think

I'm having serious problem guessing whats going in a man's head. Men whom expect you to understand, men whom doesn't want to speak their mind, men whom constantly run fast and expect you to catch up!!! It's weird, I always figure women are complicated creatures. But it looks like men are closets locked up with double locks, doesn't want you to get your eyes on whats inside. If they are happy, they unlock a drawer, and for once you see something. Now you think you'll get the key to other parts of the closet. But no, you are wrong, they only allowed you to peep into one, thats purely one. Don't even think about peeping into the keyhole!!! Women are said to be emotional creatures. But hey, men are just closed closets locking up all their emotions.

I find it very difficult, I need an open closet.

Freakin' cold

I was on my way home last night. My watch showed 20 00. My usual hour at 18 30 was undeniably delayed due to some online business. I was holding tight on my backpack one hand, the other trying to shield myself from getting wet. It started to drizzle. I had no cover, and needing to protect my notebook in my knapsack, I couldn't afford to get drenched. I couldn't run, with that possibility my poor machine wasn't shock-proof. With that speed I was walking, I would have cut down half my usual duration to the train station.

For a moment, I felt that I was back in london.

It reminded me of the cold, the horrible weather. Especially at night, it was absolutely freezing. One of the nights in london, my friend and I were lost in the streets. A lonesome neighbourhood except the two of us, totally lost, stood there waiting at a bus-stop. Checking on the street map for umpteen times, we were arguing about the directions. I guess we were both exhausted and afraid, just trying hard to hide our fear. It was horrible, our second night, and we were sick of getting lost [even with a street directory in hand]. We got through it, got back to the house after over an hour of serious hunting -- almost knocking on the wrong house.

I felt scared at that thought. If I was back in london working till 20 00, the sky would be dark plus its freaking cold. Everyone on the streets hid behind the bus shelter, trying to seek refuge behind someone much bigger. The chill wind blowing in your face and you hate yourself for still being out in the coldness. You can't wait to sit in a bar and have a nice beer or having a warm fish & chips laying on your table or even be cuddling on that couch watching Sex & the city or something...

After 30 minutes of train ride, I alighted, feeling so glad Singapore doesn't frost this time of the year. It rained so often though, accompanied by high level of humidity, it was simply shit trying to get to sleep. Across the road, I looked up at the sky and hoola I'd be home in a minute. And I wasn't freezing...

I'm a fairly good person

But when Manu is killed in an illegal fight by the brother of Raph's new love, his retired elder brother finds himself torn by a desire for revenge and the call of love.

2. Le Papillon / The Butterfly
A huge hit in France, “Le Papillon� is a highly entertaining comedy for all ages.

A widowed, retired Parisian sets off on an expedition to find a rare mountain butterfly. A lonely young girl from his apartment building manages to tag along, constantly asking questions, upsetting the tranquility the old man longs for and causing fears at home that she has been abducted.

3. L'Auberge espagnole / The Spanish Apartment

Hindi hindi!!

I feel like I'm celebrating Deepavali because I'm going to Little India later on...

p.s: I've found something about the festival, enjoy. The legend is bit too complicated, so here's something basic!

Note: Below source quoted from www.ammachi.org


India is a land of festivals where you will see at least one major festival each month. Deepavali (or Diwali) which literally means "rows of lamps" is one of the four main festivals of India. Throughout the world all Hindus celebrate Deepavali or Diwali with great pomp and enthusiasm.

The celebration of Diwali lasts six days, beginning on the 12th day of the month of Kartik (as per the North Indian lunar calendar). The day before Diwali, in order to evoke the grace of God, women fast. It is not that God wants you to go hungry or takes pleasure in your suffering - the principle is that you gain only by giving up. That evening, devotees worship Gomata (the cow) and her calf and feed them special food. Women pray for the welfare of the entire family. This holy day is called Vasubaras.

The first official day of Diwali falls on the 13th of Kartik. People set about cleaning houses and shops, and decorating doorsteps and courtyards with rangoli or multi-coloured designs. They purchase gold ornaments, new vessels, clothes, and other such items. Devotees arise early in the morning before sunrise and take oil baths. If possible, they wear new clothes. In the evening, people worship coins representing wealth. Houses and courtyards glow from the lights, and families decorate with lanterns. This day of celebration is called Dhantrayodashi or Dhanteras.

The second day is called Naraka Chaturdashi. People take an oil bath in the early morning and then in the night they light lamps and burn firecrackers. People visit their relatives and friends, exchanging love and sweets.

On the third day, people worship Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. People decorate their houses with lit lamps and lanterns to welcome Lakshmi to their home and hearts. On this day businessmen close old accounts and open new accounts. The earth is lit up by lamps and the skies are coloured by the multi-hued lights of fireworks.

In North India, the Govardhana Puja occurs on the fourth day of Diwali. Devotees in the North build hillocks made of cow dung, symbolising Govardhana, and decorate and worship them. North Indians observe this day as Annakoot, or the mountain of food.

The fifth day of the festival called Bhaiyya Dooj celebrates unique and fun customs. Every man dines in his sister's house, and, in return, presents her with gifts. North India calls it Yama Dwitiya. Thousands of brothers and sisters join hands and have a sacred bath in the river Yamuna.

What is wrong!!!

A wanted a dinner this evening. I said,"OK." I sent A a text. Two hours later, A got back and claimed he can't make it b'cos of meetings. Argh!! I'm OK with it since B told me she's free tonight to meet up. I said,"OK" too. I sent her another text. Ten minutes later, B got back and told me she can't make it too as she has to work late to cover for a colleague. So I said to myself "Fine fine." C is a new friend and like to go out for drink sometimes. So I decided to send C a text. C can't make it tonight as well. I'm resigned to my fate. There's no nice dinner for me tonight. Crap.

20.10.03

That's my life this moment

My good friend is down with chicken pox.
Angela, you need to stab that teddy, I lend you my fruit knife.
Volleyball was superb, b'cos we finally got the sun out. Joy, come back again, they miss you.
I still <3 swimming.
Friendster is starting to bore me.
Myspace is getting all weird with the dolls. DOLLY!!
Heavy workload is finally over.
My holiday mood is starting.
My bank account is depleting, waiting for pay day.
Porky is still so adorable.
I had some debating sessions going on with Marcus.
My colleague is a hermit.
Weird people called me up, people whom I didn't like to talk to.
I deleted someone's voicemails by mistake.
Suddenly I realised a friend is not as simple as he used to be.
My nails need a manicure.
Wake me up!!!
I need sugar, something sweet to get my head going.
I think I need to chew.

I copy this from my friendster bulletin, for smart people, like me. He he he.
p.s: "lelong lelong" in hokkien is "cheap sale, cheap sale".


HOW TO BE an award winning salesman

A young Indian guy moves to Montreal and goes to a big department store looking for a job.

The manager asks, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The kid, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home".

Well, the manager liked the young man, so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did, but let me give you a bit of advice. If a customer comes looking, say, for toothpaste, you might suggest for him a toothbrush, or shaving cream etc. you get the idea?"

"Of course," the young man said.

His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the manager came down. "How many sales did you make today?"

The kid says, "One"

The manager groans, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?"

The kid says, "$101,237.64."

The manager exclaims, "What? $101,237.64? What did you sell him?"

The kid, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing, and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4X4 Pajero."

The manager says "You mean a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?!"

The kid, "No, no, no, he came in here to buy a box of Kotex for his wife and I said, "Well, since your weekend's already screwed up, you might as well go fishing."

A little pet

I once saw a baby kitten, white like angel, under my block. How I wish I could bring it back!! My mum doesn't like animals, even a little dwarf hamster I failed to adopt from my cousin. Awwwww...

My dad bought a baby terrapin home. Small. Green. Beautiful (really, with a tattoo on its body; ummm, thats what I call it; too beautiful like a tattoo). Playful. Active. He doesn't like me to feed him still. Though he likes me I think. Maybe because I bathe him, bring him out and let him fly like a little jet, or even allow him to dive into a big tank with carnivorous fish (of cos I'm there to watch his safety)!!

Oh yes, I haven't name him yet.

I lost my shoes

The old ones broke, split its mouth. Actually it's not mine, my sister's. It's strange these things happened. I ever stepped out of my house twice and got to call help to get a new pair because mine just crumbled. Whenever I lent my sister my shoes, the same thing happened. Weird, isn't it?

Fortunately, 100 metres away there are 3 shops I can buy my new shoes from.

Oh well, anyway I needed a pair to match my outfit today. My new outfit from Orange Pages!! My boss compliments my 'hip clubbing outfit'... He he. Though I thought its supposed to be 'punky'. Someone said 'sporty', ummmm that's must be those shoes (old shoes). A very flary white top, stitched on it a butterfly outlined with beads. Matching with a silky baggy black 3/4 trousers which I've to pulled time to time, b'cos the bottom keeps slipping down my calves. Almost turned it into a long pants!! Phew!!! Now I bought a funky shoes to go with it.

I'm attending a dinner in less than an hour, bidding farewell to one colleague. Awww, sad thing when people leave...

Guys, enjoy your dinner too :)

Women women woman

There is this thing going on between me and Orange Pages.

Wait, Orange Pages refers to a boutique located in a hotel shopping mall. 100 metres from my office maybe. I'm like a regular customer now. And today I finally stepped in after months of refraining from shopping. Almost every single time I frequent it, I'll leave the shop with something new. It seems like I must spend the $$$. Have they casted a spell on me?? Or I just couldn't resist not buying. I could walk the whole of Orchard Road without coming home with even a slightly newer thing. But with Orange Pages, it just has this effect on me, I've to go back there. Once I visited but found nothing I liked, I smiled goodbye to the lady owner. And I actually felt bad. They have beautiful women apparel, I especially love the ones with beads or unique folds. Sale is simply worth the money, you can find things 70% cheaper... wow.


10 things that drive woman crazy:
1. Shopping
2. Emotions
3. Sex
4. PMS
5. Size does matter
6. Gaining weight
7. Being dumped
8. Falling in love
9. Other women
10. Men

I'm zombie lookalike

I've found a cure (or an advice really)!!!

HOW NOT TO LOOK LIKE ME!!

1. Drink warm milk before bedtime. Not only is it soothing, milk and dairy products contain tryptophan, a natural sleep enhancer. Plus, the warmth may temporarily increase your body temperature and the subsequent drop may hasten sleep.

2. Jot down all of your concerns and worries. Think about your worries and possible solutions before you go to bed, so you don't need to ruminate in the middle of the night. A journal may be very helpful in letting you put away these concerns until the next day when you are fresh.


Dear friends, here's a link on how to get a good night of sleep. The above methods are quoted from the source.

The Cricket Player II

I saw him again... on a rainy morning like today. He boarded at Eunos, later sat on the 3rd seat away from me. And the usual crowded train at the peak morning hour was running slower than normal. I have recalled his name Pramodh or something similiar, I don't have a thing spelling indian or tamil names correctly. Though I am pretty sure I'm right this time. I didn't call out to him. Strangers should still remain strangers... eh

Oh BTW, happy moving blog-city!!

Randomness V

There is no cure, buy your hope...

My new addiction: Chewing... my mouth just needs to be in action.


My phone lost its sock, ya know the kind of sock for mobile phone, nowadays, even non-living objects get so much attention. I got my black Egeo one too, to prevent damaging scratches or stains. I must have dropped it somewhere! You lucky phone, I'll buy you a new one.


The devil inside me is terrifying... It seeks attention and have to be pampered. Its eviler than kids whom stole candy. I just couldn't get him in my hand and made it obey my commands. Someone teach me?!!

Have you got a darker inner self you are aware of? You know its bad, its wrong, its devilish, but you break your own rules. "Kill that demon", you scream.... but it continues to reincarnate itself inside you.

Some people just don't understand my occasional ridiculous behaviour. Neither do I. I seriously hate it, I need some potion to suppress it.

El solo

I badly needed a comedy. My first time, watching solo, it was the weirdest feeling. Even it sounded stupid to book a ticket since its always easy to grab one seat, I still went ahead. Whatever so, I got myself one of the best seats for that minimal booking fee. Sitting through all the commercial runs, many images ran through my head. The cinema wasn't half full, just enough warmth surrounding me. I was so glad I could snigger, giggled, chortled and laughed away in my own company. Disregard. I love it. The show ended but I never left my seat till everyone had gone. I stared blindly at those credits which no one bothered to spare any time for them. I was alone, except for one of the staffs going around clearing up the litters and leftovers. I was reluctant to go, seemed like I was waiting for something. The lights came on, the credits still running after more than 3 minutes, I wonder how big is the production crew!! I had to scram...


L'Auberge Espagnole / The Spanish Apartment

A fresh comedy from the new Europe, L'AUBERGE ESPAGNOLE is the story of a young man who, through cosmopolitan adventures and comic tribulations, finds his own unexpected place in a mixed-up, multi-cultural modern world. Bursting with energy, optimism and cinematic invention, the film was a runaway box-office hit in France and an award winner at festivals across the globe, ultimately garnering France's Oscar equivalent, the César, in the category of Best Female Newcomer for Cécile De France and receiving five César nominations including Best Film, Best Director, Best Writing, Best Editing and Best Supporting Actress for Judith Godrèche.
