Almost There, Almost There....
Another late post..... Beginning to feel rather handicapped without any access to Internet.... Its like I'm totally cut off from civilisation..... Think I'm to used the conveniences of the internet....
haha! my hsemate david juz complained that we shd get our net access soon, coz the sch labs suck!! They hang constantly, lotsa webmail sites(hotmail, yahoo) are blocked! & u cant listen to ur mp3s or chat while surfing! wah piangz!!!
Oh well, serves me rite! Life was fine living in Currie Hall(my hostel last sem), but my backside itchy wanna move to new place! Haha, oh well, anyway, these few days most of our stuff have been settled.
My bed, pillow & bolster all have sheets on them, the kitchen has minimal utensils & equipment(cutlery, pot, mini-toaster). When we got the pot on Sat, we finally got to drink water at home! We had to walk to My frnd's place to drink water b4 this coz we had no cups or boiler......... Australia's tap water is drinkable, but it has this strong aftertaste... boiling helps rid the water of that......
Pathetic rite.......... haha, but we had 3meals at home so far! Sat dinner(pasta by Raymond),Sun breakfast(juz plain eggs with bread), & Sun lunch(pasta again, but this time made by me, which i think is much nicer, hahaha!). Now all that is left is for the housing agent to help us repair the microwave, some blinds & lights, & i can start making the place more homely~~~
Something interesting happened 2day.... On our way back home, we dropped by this place near Canningvale Highway. David brought us to this Ipoh restaurant thats highly recommend by lotsa pple... damn crowded... while we waite for our seats, this huge gang of pple came. By some weird twist of fate, they happened to be david's church frnds.... They made a reservations & invited us to join them.... din mind la... but quite intimidated.. seriously.... 1 big gang sia! more than 10! they were all Asians, but had very heavy accents.... Dunno y but i nv felt comfy toking to asians with accents.... Its prob a S'porean mentality.... like in s'pore where pple tot u were very poseur if u spoke with a heavy caucasian accent, be it American, British etcetcetc...... Thru-out the entire dinner, i kinda felt damn outta place man.... I tot they had a queer sense of humour.... not really funny... & the topics they chatted about din really interest me..... perhaps its juz something to do with my comfort zone??? oh well.... any1 in that situation would probably feel uncomfy rite?(sounds kinda self-consoling)....
sighs.... my mental framework is not tuned to studying now.... no sense of urgency at all.... chamz man... i cannot slack.... if i start slacking then no hope liao.... coz i'd slack all the way.... I gotta get the momentum i had last sem.... otherwise i'm dead for sure..... I'll arrange my room 2nite so that everything will be neat.... Tots are clearer in a neat n tidy condition! STUDY STUDY STUDY! muz make my parents money worth!! otherwise die man!!

Totally Worn Out~~~
I've MIA(Missing-In-Action) from my blog for a few days. Thats coz i din have access to internet, & also coz I was totally dead-beat the past few days....
I was actually falling asleep on my flight here.... some of u may think nothing wrong with dat... but I paid Aud$700++ for the ticket, & I believe that by sleeping thru-out is juz wasting the flight. & for ur info, its SIA Krisworld!! how can u wanna sleep when there are so much to do!!? Games like super mario(dun u juz miss the theme song!? duuttduutt dutt dutdutdut~~ hahaha, use some imagination k?), mahjong, movies~~ etcetc~~ ok, i actually intended to read my new book "1421, the Year China Discovered America~. after a few lines, I literally blacked out... not enuff sleep man~~~ so I kept awake by enjoying the pleasures of KRISWORLD~~~
I also had wine onboard.
ok, it wasnt like I was some ugly kiasu S'porean who wanted to squeeze SIA for every cent worth of the ticket. I needed something to keep myself awake lor! If i was kiasu, would have juz ask them for the whole bottle man!!
The rest of the day wasnt all that smooth..... The delay at customs was expected... coz of the aussie pride.. "Australia is so great! We cant contiminate our precious land with products n bacteria from other lowly countries! yahda yahda yahda.."
okok, i dun think they're dat cocky, coz its understandable that they want to keep foreign bacteria & diseases at bay. The the Aussie chickens are prob very happy that they nv get killed from some stupid flu.
The house wasnt all that great upon a 2nd look.... Prob coz the place is totally empty~~~ Reality set in.... killed all our hope of settling in fast, enjoying a cosy home in perth.... There was so much to do..... now i was beginning to regret chosing this place. U cant even say its partially furnished........ no fridge, no furniture no nothing!! the cupboards were in such a terrible condition.... the shelfs all fell apart! narbay!!! We decided that we had to get somethings done.... after dinner, we had a very nice guy drive us to Raymond's frnd's palce to collect 2nd hand furniture. Recollections of army days flashed in my mind.... work thru the nite non-stop.. doing near impossible things...
There were so much furniture, & the mini-van wasnt gonna take all that in.... So we dismantled the furniture so as to squeeze in everything. Seemed like my days of servicing the M113s in army were back. haha! but as always, matteres werent all that bad coz we all put in alot of effort. if every1 slackslack, then do till 8am nex day oso haven finish ar! After dat, we continued to shift stuff from everywhere, with the aid of Allan's car. & at 12++, we were still assembling furniture at home.....
Fri was juz as tiring. But eventually provided much relief as we accomplished quite alot. Completed my course transfer, changed address, applied for fone line, paid our rent. Oh, dear frnds, sorry but i prob wun be online on ICQ or MSN for nex few wks coz the efficiency is negligible here... prob take few weeks.... so keep in touch thru my Blog lor. gotta go & do even more stuff for my hse..... cya all soon!!

My Final Hrs......
~~ddrrruuut, dddrrruuuttt~~
~~ddrruuutttt~~~~~~~~~~~~
"who call hse fone.... so early...."??(actually dunno wats the time, but its early if i'm still sleepy....)
Reluctantly picked up the fone....
Me:"arlo......."
HongChang:"so 2day wat time??"
Me:"oh... (few secs of brain lag), anything, but not too late, coz wanna pack bag, n collect stuff."
blahblahblahblahblah
eergghh~ kena woken up by fone call again.. 2nd time this wk... & so within few mins, i confirmed my lunch appt with 2secsch frnds. breakfast was soya beancurd, n the soya bean drink. Nice~~~ Wun get to have that for at least 9mths? oh man.....
Dawned upon me that time is running out for me...... haven even started on a single item yet.... yet i'm still running around s'pore meeting frnds.... SLACKER!!! WHERE ARE UR PRIORITIES!!(eehhh..... think my priorities are frnds, not my trip back? haha)
Mom said she's gonna whip up a nice meal.. I think its gonna b quite nice, since its my last dinner?? & also coz we gotta finish up the remaining canned abalone from last time.
Pardon my vocab.... frnds have hinted that i've been sounding like i'm gonna die.... coz i'm been peppering my conversation these days with phrases like,
"My days are numbered(in chinese)"
"I'm gonna be gone very soon"
"Time is running out for me"
I'm not cursing myself k.... somehow i found the phrases quite apt(tho rather cliche)... perhaps they're a subconscious reflection of my feelings? sighs... really reluctant to leave.... Perth.... hmmm... juz listen to that name...... Perth... bloody boring!!!! If u think S'pore is boring, wait till u come to Perth! It'll make S'pore look as exciting & happening as Japan! the movies are always slower to screen. The shops there close b4 5pm.... The onli thing u can really do at nite is either go clubbing at Northbrigde where the music sucks & the AngMoh's nv grow up, or stay home watch TV n go online(n i suspect most of the time its porn man!!). & my frnds have the cheek to ask me y I seem to be chatting on msn/icq everynite..... but at least it has made me appreciated home, & understanding many of S'pore's shortcomings.... this is home after all...
When i reached orchard, went with Hongchang to SIA's office at Paragon. Their counter girl was dressed in the SIA kerbaya.... even a counter gir leh.... makes me wonder how she got the job?? Imagine this.......,
A determined young lady, so motivated to fulfill her dreams of flying the skies, that she goes thru the entire air stewardess training, enduring all the gruelling shit.
On the final day, she passes the course & goes out celebrating & partying with her friends all nite long, giving every1 treats as she's gonna b that prestigious Singapore Girl.
She' so happy that she's finally graduated from the course, n awaits her letter of appointment. Filled with visions of a better future in that tight figure hugging kerbaya, she tears the letter open n it reads,
~~Congratulations, as a newly trained & fully qualified SIA air-stewardess,
you will have the privilege to fly with the hundreds of thousands in this company. All personnel have been carefully chosen & allocated to an assignment that they're best suited for. We're glad to inform you that your unique abilities have earned you a place at SIA's main office at Paragon. Kindly report to the manager there to collect your tailor-made SIA kerbaya. You shall begin work ASAP at the reception counter. You are from this day forth, a proud SIA receptionist!~~~
She was all smiles those every single person in queue.... & she told me that even tho my ticket entitled me to 20kg allowance, I would get 30kg if i produce my student card during check-in.... (wu ngia bo.....) scarly i'm the 1st victim in her sadistic plot to ruin SIA..... waddahell... doesnt matter la... no time....
anyway, had lunch at Paragon's Sushi Tei. haha, this calls for another food review! i'll do it when i'm in aus?? 8^)
did more catching up with kokwee than hongchang, coz i haven seen kokwee since i came back.... kinda felt that i'm rather old.. n that time really does whizz past u.....seemed not-so-long-ago that we were all still enjoying our time in secsch.(or at least i did, since i din do much expect sleep n play in sch...) Now even our teachers have kids who are in sch.... sighs.... very soon i'll be outta uni.... sighs... my lost youth.....
late afternoon met up to collect fotos from steph... the seeing the fotos juz made me miss s'pore more.... the time the whole grp ended up at esplanade... taking a leisure stroll, taking fotos like no1's business.... made me feel lucky to have known such frnds too.
dinner was rather nice, mom made this soup thing with the abalone in it. & i think it muz have smell heavenly, coz something damn funny n freakish happened. When about half of the stuff in the soup was in my tummy, "splash~~~" n then there was..... there was... no la, not light, but a FLY!!! wadda #@#%@$! It's supposed 2b my last dinner at home & in S'pore! u freaking fly had to chose this bowl of soup do wash urself with!?? go find some puddle of piss at the upgrading site or something!! but i couldnt help laughing~~! my mom was totally shocked n cursed "stupid fly"....
haha, i actually wanted to juz pick up the fly with my chopsticks n carry on eating the abalone & meatballs. haha!! My mind was recalling this rule a frnd mentioned. Its some 3 or 6 secs rule, whereby u can still consume food that's dropped on the floor if u pick it up n eat it within 3/6 secs. hahaha! n mom pour the soup away washed the stuff with water n served it with a more soup.... does it really help if it was contaminated with germs?? pls lor! will still die lor!
I actually managed to pack my bags in less than a day, not bad not bad~~ this will juz encourage me to continue with my complacent attitude in packing, haha!! but as long as it works, who cares rite!? Besides this, something else actually makes me feel rather proud. I managed to teach my mom how to set up a hotmail acct. My parents noe how to use email at work, but they juz dun have a personal acct. I even taught my momhow to chat using MSN! HAPPENING rite!!? can u imagine ur own mother chatting on MSN ornot!?? wahahahaha!!!! a mother who has a 20++yr old son, using all sorts of emoticons to chat!! POWER~~~!!! & my dad seemed interested to learn too!!
actually, all i wish for is that she can remember wat i taught.... always say things & she nv pay attention.... then later turn around n accuse me of not opening my mouth.... piangz! my dad oso..... parents.... sighs....
oh well, wun b blogging for a few days until I get net access for my place in perth... hopefully i rem the food review on Straits Cafe & Sushi Tei~~~ bye for now~~~ 8^)

Continuing Tues' Post~~~
Was gonna tok about my gathering with my army buds. It almost din happen if not for John. I kinda suggested it last min, sometime in the afternoon. & John was quite enthu about it. He's always quite spontaneuous even if the gathering was impromptu. He really a sincere frnd worth keeping. So we tried finding more pple to go New Asia. Its this place at the Swissotel's Equinox that I heard John toking about. Their happy hour(3pm-9pm) offered alcohol at 50%. Sounded great. & the response from the various pple was quite expected. Most would be busy, even if it was juz for a short nite.... But pple like Kenneth, Francis & KianWah still came despite their hectic schedule.
Guess its not a matter of having the time... but whether the friendship btwn us is really strong enuff for them to sacrifice their time.... Lets face the fact that not every1 can establish a close connection with every1.... I've been in such situations before... so cant really blame them.... disappointed?? yeap... but wat2do.... well, at least some of them did call n wish me. But edwin.... aiya... his usual self... his words juz make him look bad .... always saying "brudder~~ brudder~~", but nv behave like 1....... & actually din expect Kenneth to turnup, coz he's always too busy, but really quite touched that he appeared, even tho he had to hand in assignment the nex day~~ Francis & Vince oso. Thats PL6!
At New Asia, found out Vince is gonna take up another job soon... Something that requires him to be sailing around for several mths.... & the pay's damn good! Hearing him tok about his plans for the near future, really makes me quite happy for him. AhHua's also making great progress in his line. Tho i'm happy for them, it kinda throws me into deep tot as to where i'm heading in life.... So wat if i get my degree... Do i really wanna work my whole life..? its like i'm in this huge flock of sheep.... dunno where i'm going, cant see the path in front, I can only see the butt of some lameass in front of me.... Gotta figure out soon.... wah... the more i think of it, the more life seems to be like dat.... while u wander aimlessly in with the flock, figuring out whether u belong to the flock...... u find fellow sheep who are also equally fed up with the sheepdog.... with the lameasses in front of them..... haha
Anywayz, was quite touched when John gave me a little farewell gift. he's always so totful. Glad i tried to meetup with these guys at the last min.

The long day(TUES) where my hair is being exposed to public scrutiny~~~~1
Juz got home..... dead tired.... & i'm feeling kinda bloated... Shdnt have ate so much at the "YouTiaoDaWang" over in Geylang........ had Soya Bean drink, GuoTie, YouCharKueh, MeeSua. NiceNice. & pls dun have dirty tots of me visiting prostitutes after or before dat. I was there with my bunch of army frnds. Vince, KianWah & John were hungry after our meeting so went over there for dinner/supper. This gathering almost din happen if not for John's enthusiaism. hmm.. i'll explain this in the nex post...
Finally managed to arrange a luncheon with my ex-colleague, Teresa, went to Hotel Rendezvous' Coffee Club. Dessert time!! haha! Always feel so excited about desserts... well, not that I'd die if I dun have them, but its juz such a treat! Esp all the chocolate desserts~~ Happy happy food! In case some of u dunno, Chocs give pple a certain kinda high. If i'm not wrong, it releases endorphins in the body, which gives u the feeling of happiness, & sometimes thats associated with feelings of love. Which is why chocs are also known to be aphrodisiac.
The moment i stepped into Coffee Club, Teresa & her frnd started laughing...(yaryar, muz b my hair...). Could tell from their faces that they had the same feeling as me about my hair color... ITS BENG-ISH!!
kk, enuff about the stupid hair, back to the food.
We shared 2 NewYork Cheesecakes & 1 Muddy Mud Pie. I muz say that the cheesecake wasnt that fantastic. Not that its horribly distasteful, juz that its normal. The lemon zest taste was rather mild, if not negligible(Mom's cheesecake tastes better). The Muddy Mud Pie however rather good. The moment it landed on our table, our eyes were glued to it, thus neglecting the 2 ordinary looking cheesecakes. It looked so GOOD! A layer of cappucinno icecream sitting on another layer of choc icecream. Both dripping with choc fudge and dusted with cocoa powder~~~~ HEAVENLY!!!
haha, we even tried to justify our neglect of the cheesecakes by stating the fact that the mud pie will melt very soon. Lets juz be HONEST. Muddy Mud Pie is more delectable than the NY cheesecake! haha. I'm recommending this to all dessert & choc lovers alike!
I gave Teresa my blog addy, hoping this blog would fulfill its purpose as a tool for frns to keep in touch with me. Difficult to keep in touch with this gir sia.... Dun use ICQ or MSN.... are there such pple nowadays!?? Wats the likelihood of meeting some1 like dat?? hahaha.
I was somehow convinced by a good frnd to go for a KTV session. Kinda reluctant ar... partly coz of my hair, n having a mild cough.... but so sincere(persistant perhaps?? hehe), n even asked her namesake to convince me... so had to give her face wat rite?? When i found them at Taka, guess wat.... I was greeted with laughter again!! ergh! alright, they were laughing coz surprised at the rather radical change... n they tot the color was quite ok. But there's more...... When we walked outta Taka, they realised that the color is actually very bright n beng.....(the lights of Taka indoors is warm-white..). Sighs... Further proves my pt that I shd juz stay indoors~~~ & there was more shocking news! They said if the color faded with time, it would actually turn more orangy.... piangz! n we actually saw this guy on a bicycle with a faded orange colored hair.......die sia!!! from lil beng fade to old beng! I'm gona consider their suggestion of doing DIY coloring when i get to aus....
The 3hrs of singing at the KTV had the benefit of having me onli singing occasionally. My throat wasnt that comfy, & kept having to clear my throat or cough after singing a few lines. & it also made my currently not-so fantastic singing even worse... sang outta tune so many times... & was oso trying to find out if any of my army mates wanted to go New Asia for a drink after dinner.... anw, kinda met my parents for dinner. Supposed to have a nice meal outside to signify celebrating my mom's birthday.
haha, we had the dinner at Straits Cafe! oh man! i wanted to try the food when i was working there, everytime i pass by, i always look at the great protions of salmon sashimi & drool! hmm.. kk, think i'll leave the food review for another post.
Wanna sleep now... will continue more about this busy Tues later........
Finally managed to arrange a luncheon with my ex-colleague, Teresa, went to Hotel Rendezvous' Coffee Club. Dessert time!! haha! Always feel so excited about desserts... well, not that I'd die if I dun have them, but its juz such a treat! Esp all the chocolate desserts~~ Happy happy food! In case some of u dunno, Chocs give pple a certain kinda high. If i'm not wrong, it releases endorphins in the body, which gives u the feeling of happiness, & sometimes thats associated with feelings of love. Which is why chocs are also known to be aphrodisiac.
The moment i stepped into Coffee Club, Teresa & her frnd started laughing...(yaryar, muz b my hair...). Could tell from their faces that they had the same feeling as me about my hair color... ITS BENG-ISH!!
kk, enuff about the stupid hair, back to the food.
We shared 2 NewYork Cheesecakes & 1 Muddy Mud Pie. I muz say that the cheesecake wasnt that fantastic. Not that its horribly distasteful, juz that its normal. The lemon zest taste was rather mild, if not negligible(Mom's cheesecake tastes better). The Muddy Mud Pie however rather good. The moment it landed on our table, our eyes were glued to it, thus neglecting the 2 ordinary looking cheesecakes. It looked so GOOD!

Interesting Day in Orchard~
Feeling refreshed now after taking a shower~~~ wah.... i realised wat david was toking about last semester about wax... he had a haircut n the stylist recommended he use wax, after 1 day, he was grumbling about how horrible it was! haha, so true! seems to stay in ur hair 4eva, no matter how u wash~~ piangz~~~
2day saw one of the most happening thing any1 can ever see in SINGAPORE!! I saw a gay couple holding hands! n its not those Bangalas who holds hands to express their brotherly love man~~ Its this pair of chinese who looked like they're in their late 30s. This is S'PORE leh!!
Was one of the guy blind?? NO!
Was one of the guy in someway physically handicapped?? NO!!
They were definitely a couple. The taller guy was normal, but the shorter 1 was slightly more effeminate.
& the way they looked at & talked to each other.
GOOD FOR THEM!! I nv expected to see such a thing here in S'pore. u noe how most pple are when it comes to homosexuality. GOT GUTS!! Come on la, if lesbians can hold hands openly, then wats wrong with gay couple holding hands!??
I'm not encouraging more guys to turn gay or anything. If its a phase, then so be it. If its not a phase then so be it. I mean its not my life rite?? Every1 has their right to lead a life they want. & to hell with all the crap about gays being bad influence on society, child molestors, Aids carriers etcetc! pls lor, even hetreosexuals are like dat! hmm... haha, before i get carried away, the pt is that i feel every1 shd juz b more open n less judgemental about everything...
I'm not a gay trying 2 promote homosexuality or gay activism, juz some1 who thinks that the world would b much better if we dun feel lame unjustified reasons to hate other pple.
Oh well, back to the rest of my day... went to cineleisure to meet serene n gang.... sighs, as expected, not very positive response to my hair~~~ Serene's face cringed in disgust(not alot la... juz a little)...... June still found it ok. & the 2 being the nice pple they, threw consoling comments like,
"need to get used to it dats all"
"still acceptable, tho abit bright"
Aiya, dun need to console 1 la.... I already noe it sucks!!! no need to protect me from the truth.
When Jerline came, i was already expecting her to criticise every inch of it. She's a very frank person wat.... haha, but think she could sense i was quite xianz about it, so she onli gave a few short comments.
Spent the whole afternoon shopping for clothes~~~ i stopped in my footsteps n went into Fourskins with the intent of browsing onli... but guess wat, i found a great Tshirt!! Ok, wasnt that great, but it prob caught my eye coz of its link to my childhood~~~
Any1 heard of ALF??? haha, it was this 80s American sitcom about this brown furry alien named Alf, who had a long Tapir-liked nose/mouth, & speak perfect english! haha! Those who grew up watching S'pore TV in the 80s would noe!
The shirt had Alf with a halo printed in front, & the backprint "Alf dun kill another Alf"(or somewhere along that line). haha, kinda like an Ape Tshirt imitation! The price was onli $20! cheapcheap! buy man!
& i saw a rather nice pair of berms... but after trying out 2sizes, they say not nice..... sighs... dun buy lor....
On our way to Far East, we decided to buy ice-cream from this uncle at the road junction outside Paragon. wahahaha! Wat a right choice! This uncle was so queer!
Us:"uncle, i wan raspberry in a cup, 2"
Uncle:" u wan raspberry in a cup(in some weird non-s'pore accent), in a cup... in a cup...."
Us:"???????? uncle 2 hor..."
Uncle:"2? 2 cup 2 cup...."
June:"how much huh?"
Uncle:"100cents~~"
Us:"huh??? oorrhh... 'hahaha'(lame laughter)"
June:"i see"
(june pays, n collect her stuff)
Uncle:"I see, U see, OCBC. U see I see. OCBC"
(we were all so trying to control our laughter!!)
Me:"uncle, i wan chocolate with bread."
Uncle:" chocolate with bread. manpower manpower."
Serene:"uncle, gimme chocolate chip with biscuit"
Uncle:"with B C kit, B C kit"
Wahlau!! weird man!! haha, but he made my day! so funny!! so lame!!
"I see U see OCBC" wahhahahaha! He was speaking with such a weird accent, prob think we were some tourist or something!
Anyway, while shopping at Far East, i realised how the consumer market is so very much catered for girls..... alot of tee shirts with great interesting designs are made with girls cutting... Maybe juz my taste lousy or wat la.... but i found the Killer Bear series Tshirts very interesting~~~
Except for this corner shop at the 3rd lvl, where they had tee shirts for guys. haha, n the sales assistant oso kinda attracted my attention. When i bought something therelast wk, found her quite cute ar~~ haha, but the pt is, that she was doing this cross-stitch. It had this boy n gir kissing each other. Naturally doing it for boyfriend rite?? oh man!
STOP ur totS!!! U muz b thinking that I'm whining about the gir having a bf rite?? Ur wrong!!! My mind actually flashed images of my ex..... sighs.... she kinda did something similar for me before..... This gir muz b a very loving gf, doing this while working. Hmm... which makes her a rather distracted sales assistant?? haha, she's probably mentally complaining about the no. of pple who keep coming into the shop!
hhmmm.. actually wanna discuss about some1 with a rather lousy character.... but think its not very convenient since it would drag my other frnd into this matter.... so lets 4get about it.... haha, lets juz say the God isnt fair. There are actually pple who have nothing at all. No looks, bad personality, bad mannerisms etcetc.... hhhmmm.. I'm not dat fantastic myself either..... hhhmmm... kk, so better not put this person out here for public comment.

For those who dunnoe wats been going on in my life the past few wks, i've been swimming most mornings. & juz last wk, I began to meet up with this army buddy of mine to go dipping at Clementi.
Nex moment, juz flung my fone onto some corner of my bed.... hide my eyes with my blankie from the piercing sun and zzzZZZZz ~~~slept till 12++...
So unwilling to pull my butt away the bed.... so cosy.... when these 2 "fellas" not gonna see each other for quite sometime... they prob have another 3nites 2gether... then my butt's gonna go find an angmoh bed in Australia....
But i had to.... meeting serene & gang to shop 2day. need to get more clothes, more comments on my hair(to help me decide..), & some time outside instead of being home alone.
Look, i'm no shopaholic(tho i do enjoy it), & i'm not dat spendthrift either. But alot of clothes not wearable already. either badly stained, or cant fit as i'm ballooning.
Reached out for my towel..... dragged my feet to the bathroom 4 a shower.... as i lifted my head.........

Blog Amateur's Frustration........
ARGH!!! was kinda into blogspot after aloy gave me some tips(well... kinda very basic stuff) on how to customize my blogspot. Initially found some success in adding links using html code.(yaryar, laugh all u wan! i'm an amateur ok!!)
But the more i was involved, the more i craved. I wanted much more! Esp when my blogspot is so dull now.....
Comments from Edison,
"Your fonts not easy on the eye"
"The links column is weird. Its not a column by itself."
"Why dun u juz change to LiveJournal??"
Demoralised man. But i tried again. Went to read up on the codes. tried to split the links column so that there were 2 seperate columns instead of the post column floating over.... but cannot..... I could change the template... but i'm stubborn la.... & i realised the comments feature is not built-in for Blogspot.... then how?? Livejournal?? piangs.....
& so i tried LiveJournal.... but equally frustrating, coz the templates they have are so limited! & also the fact that Blogspot actually does sound much cooler than LiveJournal rite??(CHEAP THRILL!!!) aiya.... damn xianz man.... howhow???
aiya.... juz gonna rest 1st.... if really gonna change to LJ, i'll repost my stuff from Blogspot lor....
2day somemore going out in the afternoon to shop.... haha, wanna satisfy my shopping craving. & actually still contemplating on whether i should go change my hair color. That stupid saloon auntie at Far East still have the cheek to charge me if i wanna change it.... she's responsible for the bright ahbeng color i have now!!! sighs... actually i noe its my problem at the end of the day, serves me right to allow her to chose the color.... wat2do... gotta learn from this kinda cockup lor... i see the color oso sad... hmmm... kk, think i better tell the story of my mishap, otherwise u all dunno wat i'm toking about...
~~~~One fine Friday, 20th Feb '04~~~~
I had a busy morning... dental appt 2gether with my mom. Drove her to see some Mayers warehouse sale at Bedok/Changi. Spent at least 1 hr there, looking at ovens, fridge, washing machines, dryers etcetc..... fast fwd to afternoon====>>
Met up with Steph & Peijin at orchard MRT... Actually no mood to do hair... coz so tired after waking up early... & i was more still undecided on the color i want..... after much deliberation, we (or rather, they, since i still dunno wat i wan) decided to go take a look at this saloon in FarEast where PJ did her hair. I tot her streaks were nice la... some dark blonde or brown... When i was there, still din noe wat i wan, n was somehow the boss convinced me that she would do cheaper, since my hair was as long as a gir's.... but still quite long la... like slightly shorter than ekin cheng's ganster hair.... the boss/auntie flipped thru some mags n show me various styles.... dunno y still cant decide... in the end she say she chose the color... n i saw this style which look quite good, n still allowed me to maintain my length.... the moment she cut finish, i knew it was a goner! it was shorter than wat i asked for!!! i already told her so many times in btwn that i wanna keep it long... n she onli left the sides long!! bloody hell!!! i always hate stylist who wanna do it their way... so inflexible!!
she asked me for the color... i said the effect i wanted wasnt juz plain streaks, but whereby the 2colors were more natural, the streaks blend in well, not juz plain straight lines... this is the onli thing she achieved... think she cant comprehend english... seriously man.... coz i asked for coolers that werent too bright, cooler shades, & so she chose copper base n light brown... i was thinking, lightbrown quite ok..... guess wat... the light brown looked more like bright gold!! the ahbeng type!!! wahlau!! exactly the type of color ahbengs went for when dying juz caught on in s'pore... it looked juz nice.. but when i left, realised normal lighting made it look so beng! onli warm-white lighting made the color pleasant to the eye.... fashion disaster eh!!
& her english confirm got problem! she was asking for my name, n couldnt even pronounce it! she kept going "agent? agent? those sell house n insurance 1 huh!?" bloody cockanadan!!! its ADRIAN! aa-der-ree-ern! no wonder she gave me a bright chaoahbeng color when i wanted something else!
& the whole day i was so xianz... go out oso not really in the mood, went ktv at nite oso feel so down....self conscious about my new ahbeng look! something that i've nv been, nv wanted to be, always hated! now i've ended up looking juz like 1! the place shouldnt be called "HairStudio Plus" lor.... its "BengStudio Plus!!".......
~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~
oh well, actually dun really bear so much hatred la.... juz letting out some steam.... if i still cant get used to the color, i'll probably go back to good old Mr Ong to color it... another $30 onli.... better than the $50 the auntie wanna charge for correcting her old ahlian taste....... i'll post my pic after i learn how to upload it(or maybe after i can accept the hopelessness that wats done is done..?)
juz gotta learn from this lor..... advise to all those who are gonna color their hair:
Go to some1 u can trust!
Dun trust the stylist if he/she looks beng or lian(unless of course u wanna go for that look)
and like i always say, its nv any1s fault... u made a decision, u gotta bear the consequences watsoeva.
But the more i was involved, the more i craved. I wanted much more! Esp when my blogspot is so dull now.....

& her english confirm got problem! she was asking for my name, n couldnt even pronounce it! she kept going "agent? agent? those sell house n insurance 1 huh!?" bloody cockanadan!!! its ADRIAN! aa-der-ree-ern! no wonder she gave me a bright chaoahbeng color when i wanted something else!
& the whole day i was so xianz... go out oso not really in the mood, went ktv at nite oso feel so down....self conscious about my new ahbeng look! something that i've nv been, nv wanted to be, always hated! now i've ended up looking juz like 1! the place shouldnt be called "HairStudio Plus" lor.... its "BengStudio Plus!!".......
~~~~~~~The End~~~~~~~~
oh well, actually dun really bear so much hatred la.... juz letting out some steam.... if i still cant get used to the color, i'll probably go back to good old Mr Ong to color it... another $30 onli.... better than the $50 the auntie wanna charge for correcting her old ahlian taste....... i'll post my pic after i learn how to upload it(or maybe after i can accept the hopelessness that wats done is done..?)
juz gotta learn from this lor..... advise to all those who are gonna color their hair:
Go to some1 u can trust!
Dun trust the stylist if he/she looks beng or lian(unless of course u wanna go for that look)
and like i always say, its nv any1s fault... u made a decision, u gotta bear the consequences watsoeva.

back again~~ almost din manage to post here..... when i came online after dinner, i was telling hongchang that i juz got a blog. n he responded by saying "last time ask u get dun get..... now then get..." hahaha. expected sia! n he was trying to convince me to use Livejournal, saying its better etc..... hmm... i did setup an acct there... but so much procedures.... prob have more features than Blogspot... but now kinda put me off with how complicated it appears to be..... nvm la, juz make do with blogspot 1st, since dunno much about it.... maybe when i start 2b so into blogging that i'll wan something better? blogspot will do for now.
oh, actually was gonna tok about dinner. my mom read about this chinese restaurant over at Safra ToaPayoh. saw in the Straits Times i think. so on the pretext of an advance bday celebration, we went over there to trytry the delicaciesof the oh-so-great Chef Chan....... my dad came to pick us up.... mom went down 1st while i slowly changed to my jeans n shirt.... as i walked to the car, was trying not to laugh...(muz think i'm gila rite... walk to car so funny meh??) u see, i juz did my hair, cut n color.... n knew my dad sure laugh at me when he sees it..... piangs..... n as expected he did! while driving there, he kept turning back n look at my hair, n laugh! FOR GOODNESS SAKES!! PaPa! can keep ur EYES on the road ornot! aiya.. dun wish to elaborate on that la.... my frnds who went out with me that day noe how depressed i was with it....
anw, back to dinner... when we stepped in, was kinda surprised by the design of the restaurant. hmm.. not that its all the high-class, but really nicer than wat i expected. not the typical orhbit orhbit chinese restaurant layout. in front of the cashier's counter, was a table filled with bottles of chinese wine. & i'm not toking about those u find at supermart. its the type where they stuff all sorts of weird fruits, spices etc into those glass bottles. the kinda big glass jars that u see in those bio labs that contain embalmed body parts! big it looked muz nicer, prob coz there werent any snakes or rats in them, but merely fruits....
as we walk upstairs, my mom began complaining about the waitress manners, "she so rude" "her tone so unhappy"... i found her attitude rather normal, but mom had to fuss so much... aiyo.... as usual.. always so critical of everything...
as we sat at the table, the waitress gave us our "menu"... thats the interesting part.... any1 noes the wooden cups in those chinese temples? the 1s which have all the fortune lots/sticks(qian) in them?? that was how the menu was present! the dishes were written on the sticks! quite innnovative! but the novelty soon wore off... can u imagine trying to pick out the sticks, n read 1 by 1.. tryin to find a nice dish!? all the sticks were strewn over the table.... so messy! female supervisor said they din have the menu in a more readable form... piangs... so in the end juz ask for her recommendations.... n guess wat, the nex moment, my mom saw the nex table had the written menu.... n her whole face turn black sia.... she went "how can she lie to us! wat kinda service attitude is this!". lucky she onli grumbled it... n not shout! kept telling her to relax, maybe she blur... or wat.... if not happy then ask the supervisor lor... n she din wan.. n coz of this, the 1st half hr of dinner, she was so unhappy.... sighs.. all this for wat?? i mean i understand the anger.. but y let it get to u?? y let poor attitude spoil ur mood? things can b so much easier if u juz speak up, rather then go into those moods.... mothers~~ the food was soso onli..... din see was was all the hoo-hah about..... CHEF CHAN?? i dun even noe who is he lor.... haha! i love to eat, but i'm juz ignorant perhaps! n u noe the how much was the bill?? $140++!! juz for a Nanking Duck, Country-style Tofu, Deep-Fried Prawn Pearls, an a SoonHock..... haha, thats was u have to pay to get nice ambience, aircon, warm-white(orange in simple terms) lighting. haha! lesson learnt, nv get too high expectations ar....
speaking of food, theres a very nice jap place at suntec lvl3. "BomBomBom, 123, we are KuiShinBo! BomBomBom, 123, Suntec Twr Lvl 3!" haha, most prob heard of it~~ woah! the jap food there really up to standard. at least for a buffet place it is. not those restaurants where the actual food pales in comparison to the pictures displayed! the salmon is so not too thin, the portions of sushi, dons etc all generous~~ arggh!! food glorious food!!!
haha, enuff said... kinda long-winded in my 2nd post..... sorry if its boring ar.... i'm like dat.... 8^P
