Happenings of the week :

1. Transformers 2 - complete with super-annoying woman sitting behind us who HAD to comment on EVERY SINGLE ad that came on before the movie. Here's a newsflash lady, judging from the silence, your male companion is just not that into you.

2. Pulled a sickie - my first of the year. Then proceeded on a shopping trip with Grumpy. Got him $53 jeans from Gap. Darn cheap. Tried to find stuff at Zara/Mng to no avail. And why were the dressing room queues so bloody long ?!? Don't you people have work to do ???

3. Manicure from our heartland mall. Dark red - oozy woozy suzie or something. Never had red nails before. Grumpy approves. Clumsy me chipped a bit off whilst shaving. BAH

4. $400 king koil mattress arriving today. woohaaa.

5. Shall be dining with Mama Chew in the evening.

6. Our landlord has been MIA since Thursday evening. We can't reach his phone. We suspect he has checked himself into CDC.

rant

My boss is seriously starting to piss me off. (if not everyone else in the department)

I don't need a 15 minute background on the hows whens whys of something that needs to be done. Just tell me what you want and leave me alone. Don't fucking lecture me. I'm not interested.

Yes, I have sent that to you. CHECK YOUR EMAIL
No, for the last time, POs ARE RAISED BY MMD NOT BY ME
Yes, I have told you before AND I SAW YOU WRITE IT DOWN
No, you can't keep saying you're new WHEN YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR HALF A YEAR
Yes, we owe those people money BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SIGN OFF THE INVOICE
No, I can't help you do that section of the report because ummm YOU'RE THE MANAGER

ZOMG. KILL ME NOW.

bad thomas

Thomas is my 20+(?) year old red teddy given to me by my Ah Mah.

Grumpy has never gotten along with him - he doesn't like it when I hug Thomas instead of him when I sleep. harhar.

The other day he complained of Thomas walking around and wearing his brand new bball shoes whilst he was at work.

"You see, you see ! Thomas wear my shoe without my permission. Always like that one. But never when you're at home"

Then he'll show me the evidence.

new kicks

Grumpy went to play ball with his boyfriends at AH. He played so hard BOTH soles came off his shoes. (-_-) It could also be due to the fact that he had not used that pair of shoes for over a year. He then insisted on repairing them (?!) and I was like don't be a retard. Queensway is just next door, let's get you a new pair.

So now he has a pair of Allen Iverson's Answer XII Invictus

Good deal for $119 no ? They come with a built-in 'bootie' and the Invictus poem by William Ernest Henley on the heel. Quite an interesting write-up here

Also picked up my video games live tickets for tomorrow. Lucky I saw that tweet yesterday ! woohaaaa !!

sore all over

Firstly hi dad ! *waves (he reads my blog :D)

Last night, joined Pammy for 2 fitness first classes. I should have stopped after one but since it was a 'trial' visit thought might as well make the most of it.

Body Conditioning was like circuit training. 8 stations. Rotations after 2 minutes. And one fit, gay, chirpy, tanned instructor.

Sue joined us for body combat. I rather enjoyed this. Learned a bit about fighting stances and how to perform uppercuts and punching techniques. Even some capoeira thrown in all to the ridiculously loud pulsating beat of trance. Lovely !

And now I am sore. Just achingly sore EVERYWHERE :(

dying for kaya

Hard, cold kaya is a nono which is why Grumpy prefers to keep it at room temperature in my favourite noodle bowl *RAR

I observed it after a few days. There was a floating clump of dead ants in the 'moat'. How retarded. Or maybe they were sacrificing themselves such that one day enough of them will be there and create a bridge between the bowl and the prize. At the time of this picture there was an ant running around and around the bowl as though searching desperately for a secret pathway. FOOL ! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE !



Of course the water will be changed long before that happens... or maybe .. tis the start of a glorious experiment !

water therapy

For years now, dad has this friend who keeps telling him that his habit of drinking water in the morning has kept him medication-free even though he's diabetic. Dad never believed any of it so it was always in one ear and out the other.

The other day, another friend randomly sent him an article about the benefits of this habit.

Also, dad has always owned this MRET water machine that his other friend introduced him to.(MLM ! Danger !) . It structures the water, making it more effective in influencing the life supporting processes both inside and outside our body cells.

So all these things clicked in his head and he drinks his MRET water every morning now. He said the rash on his arm was gone the next day after rinsing it with some of this MRET water.

Hmmm.. maybe this will get rid of my riduculous tummy.

bloated

Was sitting on the bench near the playground at sunset way having a post-dinner smoke with Grumpy.

He had his hand on my belly which is usually the case after I eat and my belly pops up.

A woman in her mid-forties (?) happened to pass and I smiled at her for no apparent reason. (I am a random smiler) She smiled back and noticing Grumpy's hand on me (and probably my rotund state) asked whether it was a boy or a girl.

Oh nonono , I laughed. I'm not pregnant , I'm just fat. She apologised profusely and scurried away.

I get really round after I eat. I think it's gas or.. ?

twilighted

Having just finished the first book from the Twilight Saga, I re-watched it again to catch all the nitty gritty that I hadn't noticed before - and whatever was lacking.

The book displays their love for each other very clearly, something I found that was kind of hazy in the movie. There weren't even any mentions of I Love You. Also his appearance in the sunlight was not as glorious as depicted. But no matter, he's still one handsome lookin' vamp.

I realise I have not been besotted with an actor since... Dean Cain in that superman TV series - Lois & Clark, 13 years ago !

Twilight is very romeo & juliet. The whole 'forbidden love' thing. sigh.
