sean paul anyone ?

say... isn't that Coco Lee ?

LOL WHAT A LOSER

I played WOW when it first came out. Got to level 6 then got bored. No fun when you're all alone. Very hard to complete quests. In that respect, I kinda see where he's comin from.

BUT STILL....

irritants

Today I was irritated by a highly irritating supplier. Every single time I have called this woman, it always diverts to her voicemail. I would prefer speaking to someone rather than a machine for acknowledgement. You never know with voicemail, she could say she never got the message or some other crap excuse. I rang the mainline and was directed to her after failing to get her on her direct line. This remark from her really got me going...

"There is such a thing as voicemail, you know. If I am unable to answer the phone please leave a message"

ok..umm so if you were so unavailable , HOW COME YOU ANSWER ON ANOTHER LINE ??

This got me thinking about other things I find irritating in no particular order

1. Mozzie bites - Today I woke up with friggin 4 bites on my right FOOT alone. wtf. Honestly, what use do mosquitoes have ? They bite people and spread disease. Even ants are more useful (to anteaters I suppose, I can't even name something that eats mosquitoes. Useless)

2. People that plonk their asses down on the bus seat so hard that my side of the seat 'pops'. Please, my peripheral vision is fine, no need to so violent until like that.

3. People that chiong for the mrt. OMG give way to those alighting ffs. You won't get a prize for being the first one in. Ass.

4. People in the lift who can SEE you approaching but hurriedly press the button to CLOSE THE DOOR.

5. Confirming with your boyfriend to meet you at point A and he waits at point B. He then calls you up all angry and shit. oh wtf.

6. The boyfriend's incessant desire to keep his pinky nail nice and LONG. Useful for digging he says. Sheesh. Which leads me to...

7. His fascination with his toenail clippings. HE KEEPS THEM IN NEAT PILES NEXT TO THE BED THINKING I WON'T FIND THEM. GAHHH. Actually my mum once told me my dad used to store his toenail clippings in a JAR when they were going out. I have no words.

8. Wanting to have a nice refreshing ice-cold glass of coke and finding the ice-tray EMPTY. marajaded, are you there ?

9. My seat in the cinema being kicked from behind. That's a given, I'm sure everyone would find this irritating. Unless you're made of I don't know... wood.

10. Waiting for customers to leave when the restaurant is CLOSING (from my waitressing days). They know they're the only table, they can see all of us GLARING. Man, what are you ? Blind ? Take your party somewhere else.

all about spondylolysis

We found out last week that Grumpy has a defect in the pars interarticularis of his lumbar vertabrae. No, it wasn't me (I'm not that heavy) Basically, there is a fracture in the bony ring that surrounds and protects his spinal cord.


First stop was A&E after he complained about lower back pain. After waiting forever, the GP says 'looks like no fracture' . So I ask what is causing him the pain ? She say can't say for sure, gotta come back and do MRI. To do an MRI is $2000 a shot. Friggin ex. I just HAATE it when you don't get any clear answers. We are sitting around and waiting for 2 hours and we still don't know anything for sure. Not only that, but we have to come back, wait around and do more Xrays. wtf. Why can't they do everything one shot ? gayness.


Rather than waste more time going through a whole lot of useless procedures, we went to see a specialist. Was feeling very scared (is there surgery involved, will it lead to paralysis blahblah) but after chatting with Dr Razmi, turns out that this condition has an incidence rate of 30%. That is 3 out of 10 people in the general population ! Sometimes, people will have it without even knowing (where the products of inflammation are not pressing on any nerves) . It was so educational learning the anatomy, seeing what to look out for on the xray films and discussing options for pain management. Usually these things will heal by themselves, we shall see when we go for a follow-up in 2 weeks time.

movie machine

Maybe this has been around a long time or I could be a suaku. Anyhow, one of these marvels has been set up down near my block. When it was first installed, I thought it was another one of those AXS stations where you can pay your bills and collect movie tickets. Got a better look at it the other night and found out it is actually a vending machine for movies ! How nifty is that ?

You just use the touchscreen to select whatever then you collect it from the slot. Easy-peasy. Definately more convenient and cheaper than running to Video Ezy.

Grumpy has become a fan of that crazy white guy after I told him Man vs Wild is a must-see. In last night's episode he's dropped off in a barren African desert then goes about getting water by digging a hole in the sand and covering it with a rubbish bag. He turns to the camera and says ,

'Fill it with as much (sea)water as you can. If you can't find any, just pee in it' Then he starts to pee in his pit which is filled with stuff he will eventually drink.

He moves further inland and spots an adder (?) snake. It's friggin huge. He picks up this rock and smashes the snake's head, cuts off the head and then buries it. He then proceeds to inform us of the dietary value of the snake. Whilst doing so, he puts it in his mouth and bites off a chunk and eats it. WTF. EEEEEEEEEE

ms hilton you must be worth a trillion bucks

Love her or hate her. You can't deny the power that is Paris Hilton.

I like this pic of her.

In case you were wondering, I was looking for bang inspiration (HAIR bangs that is..)

Her eyes look almost normal here. (She has a serious case of wonky eye)

my first f1

Gotta admit, the whole night race thing was pretty spectacular. The backdrop of the city , the traffic juxtaposed against a grand prix setting was very nice.

H and Grumpy were keen on going . We didn't have tickets, so not much of a view except for a ginormous fence encircling the track. Suddenly we see some chinamen dragging one of the construction barriers up against the fence. We quickly follow suit before a) there are no more barriers and b) there is no more space to put the barriers. Very unglam.

I got tired of teetering after a while so was looking around for someone who I could hook H up with and who didn't smell bad. GREAT SUCCESS !! She even asked her friend to take a photo of the 2 of them.

The cars are much closer from here and Grumpy got all excited from all the engine noise (my ears were 'popping' like I was on an plane or something)

Hopefully for next year, they will make it easier for freeloaders to watch.
