Sniff sniff sniff...

I've been attacked by the flu monster this morning!!! How can that happened when the nights are warm like hell...

I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick. I can't be sick.

I still got to do california classes, wreck my brain to complete my homepage concept, get all prepared for our grand dinner on Saturday. Pretty girls on sixth avenue!

I'm going to single out Friday evening for a good rest - like it has always been. People like to hit the clubs on friday, whereas I like to crash at home. Soak the feet, scrub the back, shave the legs, condition the hair, trim the nails, do facial, write something, relax on couch, watch tv, munch some chips - do you not think that's like a home spa!

Out of place

The nights are getting incredibly warm, I'm beginning to detest living in hot countries. My lunch buddy (ex-colleague) is going in 2 weeks' time, sort of sad but definitely a better future laying ahead for him. It should be also time then I'll start making own lunch and cutting down cost. Idol is not in the office much, his mate is always poking into others' affair. So tired of office politics! Finally eh... I've made a step nearer to applying the working holiday visa. I'm worried about mum, she's down with sickness for past years. When I leave, I hate to see the changes I'll be bringing to the family. They can cope well without me, but I still reckon I've to visit within a year to see how things have been going. I'll miss my mum, my dad (even though he doesn't show much love) and my two sometimes-so-irritating sisters (they can be nice!).

Leave-home-syndrome

I'm searching deep inside me... for that anxiety about leaving, the hang up about the preparation, fear about the upcoming new phase of life and my usual worrying tendency. But it wasn't there. I should be having cold feet when I've made a step nearer to the day I'm setting off. But no. Ironically, I'm numbed.

I've finally gotten over that frightening procedure - taking passport photos. 95% of the ones in my past made me look like some drug addicts (messy hair and unfocused), or well they do suck the very least. Ok, that 5% belongs to those when I was ten - look how bad can that be! This afternoon, I found the courage to overcome my procrastination - to shoot the photos which I'll need for my visa application. *fingers crossed* Surprisingly, it went off pretty well (at least I'm happier than the previous).

I saw the machine again that claims to read fortune from your palm. I gave that a try long time ago. This very day, I decided to throw in my one-dollar coin and let it tells me my fate again.

You're full of vitality & ppl admire you for your love of life
You can overcome minor illnesses unaided
You don't allow yourself to be swayed by circumstances
You're sometimes over idealistic & you should learn to be more cautious to avoid disappointment
The disappointments in your love life have left deep marks on you
You tend to dissipate your energy & lose the concentration you need to think effectively.

12 sandwiches

A dozen.

I don't know what ran over me recently, I've done far too many trips to a supermarket than I've entered a shopping mall. Grocery shopping! Can you believe that? I wouldn't myself. It did happen anyway. I made an awful pasta salad on Sunday. Ok, everyone else was complimenting on it! Except my lil sister who have tasted my "better" version said otherwise. Same thoughts as me. Maybe I do have high expectation of things I'm doing.

Right after gym & class, I headed down to Cold Storage (like always). I grabbed a packet of aparagus, sandwich cheese, mayo tuna, chips, lovely haribo cola gummies & a pack of tomato juice (my fav eversince I had it on-flight). I still had a bread loaf, cherry tomatoes and smoked ham at home.

Back home near 10pm, I was still so energetic (probably cos of the exercise). Then I decided to get my hands moving or a better excuse that I need not wake up too early tomorrow. Yes - make sandwiches. My mum was helping around. I boiled the eggs (2), soaked the ham (3) in boiling water, cut the cheese (4), used up the whole loaf of bread (12), replaced tomatoes with cherry version (countless) since mum have used them up, spread the tuna - thats about it really!! I've done a miscalculation, ended up with more ham & cheese than those pathetic few tuna.

I was preparing breakfast for five (for all). My mum and sister ate two away, so ten for the morning. All ready by 12am, by then its bed time for me.

Actually...

I don't mind doing these alone:
Shopping;
Movie;
Gym;
Classes/Courses;
Travelling;
Working;
Dining;
Drinking;
Reading;
Watching TV/DVD/VCD;
Roaming;
Swimming;
Cooking;
Staying home.Though sometimes having a companion is still better...

Wow me

I watched The Eye 2 alone. It wasn't that scary (I can't remember watching the first episode, but who cares!). I like to get frightened by horror shows but it often doesn't work this way because of the uncooperative audience. They laughed too much that it astoundingly chased away my creepy feeling. The show was okay, revolving about pregnancy. Its not any horror flicks like The Ring which you wanted to make you jump from the chair. I guess I call it a more emotional horror film which greatly reflect the woman's weaker side.

My company has given everyone an extra day off on following Monday - that means a super long weekend. They should have announced it earlier, now I'm counting my plans. Difficult to do any last minute travelling since I'll have my usual pilates on weekend. Out of a sudden, the thought of travelling solo struck me. April is a fully occupied month - now I lost track of my task list. I need to get my notebook re-borned, new homepage up, friends' birthdays, film festival, friend's farewell, extend passport (including taking ugly passport photos!), california fitness, pilates... ermmm now I reckon I better save the days to accomplish more.

I came across a shop selling huge backpacks. At the sight, my yearning to travel returned, I had a sudden urge to buy one, pack and go! That's just not me. Or maybe I should try that when the time is nearer. I've communicated with my sg friend in london, people going to london for the same purpose, somehow it has given me more courage and confidence to embark on that journey. Bless me!

Super act lian

When we named an ah beng or maybe ah seng, it usually refers to an uneducated man/boy with ill manners. And when we used ah lian and sometimes ah hua, it is refering to the female species.

On the train to work, I met my eyes with this "super act lian" - meaning acting like an ah lian, but unfortunately not very successful. It was packed at the peak morning hour and she stood right in front of me. Her bum was just an inch away and many times I could have just "accidentally" touched her if I wanted. But, nah, I'm not a sucker for women's bum - hers wasn't that great anyway. She bumped into me once and nearly a couple of times, I wanted to tell her," If you can't stand still, hold on to something!" So I finally deliberately touched her with my haversack since she just got her stupid ass glued an inch away in my direction even when many has alighted and leaving lot of empty space. She then told her friend claiming I've kicked her, oh well... she should see how I kick the football to define the word "kick". She gave me a glare, so I returned her one twice the duration. She didn't dare to look at me again... chao ah liao I'm better left unprovoked sometimes!

*yawn* Up at 1am

I watched Fight Club on Sunday TV. It made me laughed. Its a ridiculous film, I don't understand why is Brat Pitt in it - to act as an imaginary man!? He always get weird roles, don't you think... ;)

Volleyball wasn't that great, except I got to see a few hunks flaring their assets and skills in court. The rain has ruined the game, it was still fun hanging around with these bunch of "nutties"... I'll miss them so much when I leave. I'm getting "rough" with these guys, now I don't think they reckon I'm that quiet "china doll".

Pilates is still keeping my attention there, I'm beginning to look forward for every lesson. Somehow my instructor is giving me more attention - must be I'm a lousy new student. Err... better work it out the right way before I get all the pain and aching in future :)

The Cricket Player III

There he was again, in the same train as me today.

At that instant moment, I recognised him. The last I mentioned I bumped into him was last October. I noticed his mole again, but he has it removed. I could see the cavity. Ouch! Doesn't that hurt!! I'm not 100% sure that was him without that distinctive mole, yet we felt like we knew each other (even he had not seen me thru' those emails).

*yawn, today is such a sleepy friday...*
