Sometimes I’m So tWitty! October 27, 2011

As you may or may not know, my Twitter account is locked. I don’t get to bitch and rant so much HERE, so why close off another avenue for me to bitch and rant? However, sometimes I’m so funny on Twitter (perasan), I can’t help but want to share it on my blog as well. Hahaha. Here are some of my favorite Tweets.

((I thought of screencapping them, but too much work. Talking about work, the place I work at is quite shitty — literally. Today I saw a dog take a dump, and another dog was sniffing the shitting dog’s butt as the shit was coming out. The last sentence might be a little bit confusing, but try to imagine it out and you’ll get what I mean. And please, don’t gag.))

So, do ya like it? Did I make you laugh? Hahaha… Twitter is so much fun, and if you read some Singaporean blogger’s Twitter, it is also so full of drama! People in the office think I’m busy sms-ing but I’m actually scrolling thru Tweets. Loser!

Matchmade in Heaven August 12, 2010

The other day, my colleague said something “funny” to me. We had been browsing through another mutual friend’s Facebook account, and I just commented that the girlfriend of this mutual friend is “the opposite of him”. My colleague took it that I meant it in a negative way, so he quickly came to the friend’s rescue by specifying, “Eh, but she treats him very nicely, you know!”

Now, I really have a problem with that phrase : “but she treats him very nicely”. Firstly, it’s his GIRLFRIEND. If she doesn’t treat him nicely, then abuthen?! Most guys think that if a girl is fierce, then she is fierce to her boyfriend as well. Ah, too bad if you don’t know how to “tame the shrew”, so to speak. Why bother being nice and “gentle” to a bunch of losers like yourselves. ;p *not aimed at anyone in particular* Is it worth our dignity to pander to your every request? Pandering to ONE man’s requests are enough, we don’t need to please the whole world.

Secondly, if you’re only with a girl because “she treats you very nicely”, then is that a valid reason to be with someone? Maybe you think it’s a right justification if people think that your boyfriend / girlfriend is so-called “beneath your ‘level’”. But are you that desperate for companionship that you would just get together with anyone who treats you nicer than the average person does? Therefore, the appropriate “reason” should be, “I just click with that person!” or “I just love his / her personality!” That’s much better than, “She treats me very well.” I dunno la, don’t you find that funny?

Lastly, although I said that his gf is the opposite of him, I didn’t say that that meant they should not be together. Just because they are opposite in terms of size, that did not mean that I see her as less attractive than he is. To me, they are both equals in term of attractiveness, so what’s the issue? Kekeke!

P.s : Weekend updates coming up! I’ve been really caught up with work and I’m still resizing stuff.

Just Off The Top Of My Head… November 25, 2009

Top things I did during the weekend + other random “enlightening” moments, heh.

1. Read finish Night Watch by Terry Pratchett and it’s really good! Still classic Pratchett humour, but a story with a lot of heart. I think this is one of his best yet. And Sam Vines is probably my favorite character in his series so far. I’m now reading What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell – another interesting book. Basically, he tries to “get into the head” of people who are “minor geniuses” – why they thought of doing / did things that made the success they are today. He’s also pretty random – he goes from talking about the guy who started the Showtime franchise, to the two women behind the PR accounts for Clairol and L’oreal (“Did she or didn’t she, only her hairdresser knows for sure” / “Because I’m Worth It”) to John Rock, one of the inventors of the birth control pill.Okay, the last one is pretty scary because it’s so true — I have to spoiler this chapter for you somewhat.

   Basically, Gladwell says that the birth control pill should’ve been marketed as a way to stop your periods instead of to prevent pregnancies (so that it could be accepted by the church, because when the Pope denounced birth control pills, John Rock went from celebrated scientist to erm… a man living in seclusion). As females, we are used to the “comfort” of getting our monthly menses, it’s a kind of security for us. If we don’t get it, it’s “unnatural”, right? If I said that there’s a way for you to STOP it, you would think twice before going for it, because surely that’s not how nature intended for it to be?

   But according to Gladwell, in fact, up to 40 years ago, women were getting their periods about 100 times in their life time ONLY. This is because the other times were spent being pregnant and nursing babies (which apparently stops your period, I didn’t know that). Since this only changed about 40 years ago, our bodies have not evolved enough to handle menstruating from 100 times in our life time to 350 times in our lifetime (on average). Menstruating is actually a lot of stress on our bodies, and is proven to actually increase the chance of cancer.

   So since our “female ancestors” only menstruate 100 times in their lifetime, I have already done it way more than them lor. And I’m only 26!! HOW!! 150+ times already!

   Sorry if this is TMI, but I really felt damn WTF when I read this. Should I start taking the Pill to halt the cycle? Is it safe? What about the side effects? One of which is to cause you to bloat… like Hell I would want that!!

2. As planned, I watched The Time Traveler’s Wife — alone. I don’t know why, a lot of people express shock and er… pity when they find out that I watched it alone. Is it a sad thing to go to the cinema alone? I like it because I can do whatever I like. I’m actually a creature that likes solitude and silence… not to say that I don’t enjoy watching movies with my friends. There’s a lot of interesting-ish movies that I want to watch – Ninja Assassin and Jennifer’s Body looks good too, but cinema experiences are always so stressful for me. Like this round, I had this girl jabbing me CONSTANTLY while waiting in line to buy tickets, and when I gave her a dirty look after the umpteenth time, she told her bf, “Macamlah melecur!” (“As if that burnt!”) in reference to her inability to resist touching me. I found that so incredibly rude. If you *knew* for a fact that you kept bumping into me… why continue? Damn stupid. And fucking rude to say that. Isn’t “sorry” only two syllables and much shorter and sweeter than what she said?I was also hugely annoyed by this girl sitting behind me that was doing the “I predict this will happen” thing with her friend. OMG, so annoying. I know that this movie is based on a book, and you probably read it, so did I. Do I need you to refresh my memory? No thanks. So shut the fuck up, plz.

   And I don’t get why there are “how to be courteous at the cinema” ads which show that you aren’t supposed to eat stuff which emit certain… aromas… but the cinema sells those stuff anyway. The guy next to me ate some hugeass hotdog with onions and dunno what other stuff. It was soooooo erm… fragrant. It’s the kinda fragrance that if you walked past the hotdog stand outdoors (like say, in the park, by the beach.. really OUTdoors you know), you would be tempted to walk back a few steps and buy one. But to have that kinda overwhelming smell next to me was horrid. HORRID. Thank God he was not a gassy person and would burp for the next 90 minutes.

   Other stuff that piss me (and the rest of the world off) : people coming in late and giggling and take their own sweet time to get to their seats ; people who kick the back of my chair (omg retarded. And when I tick them off, they continue anyway. I think their leg got some spasm shits) ; people who actually ANSWER their calls in the cinema — as if it ringing loudly in the first place isn’t annoying enough; people who even SMS in the middle of the theater, cos that little lighted up screen is pretty distracting, no matter what you say ; people who are old enough to know better but continue to make kissy noises and unfunny jokes whenever a scene of sexual nature appears — no wonder the scenes are censored. It’s to save the rest of us from moronic people like that. Gosh.

   Anyway I shouldn’t complain so much cos I probably did stuff to piss others off before, most memorably when I practically rewrote the script of Spinning Gasing cos it was soooo stupid that a teenage me also “see it no up” (in other words, look down). What can I say, we all pay for the sins of our youth. And whenever I *do* tick someone off, it’s like the rest of the people at the theater just don’t give a damn anyway. Like, “Hey man, why you so worked up? What’s wrong with him having a little chat with his friend? What’s wrong with his stocking-ed foot being next to your arm?”

   I think I went on a little longer than I intended to. Just needed to let off some steam. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the movie and novel.

   The novel is definitely better than the movie, but the movie was more of a tear-jerker (and since I like crying over people I don’t know, this is great). Guys will probably not be interested in this show la, it’s totally a romcom for females because it is showing how much we females are willing to sacrifice for a guy we love. Hello, it’s called the time traveler’s WIFE, who is I presume, not as interesting a person as a TIME TRAVELER would be. Yet she’s the focus in this novel. (Actually I just wikipedia-ed it and the author said it was supposed to show hor intertwined both their lives are, but whatever… seems like the focus is on the lady to ME.) Besides, there’s all those gratuitous shots of Eric Bana in his skimpy underwear in case you needed more assurance on who the target audience is.

   Seriously, if you didn’t read the novel, I think you wouldn’t feel for Claire and Henry as much. There were a lot of “key” points (I felt) in the novel that didn’t make it to the movie, which is a pity, because it illustrates more on the trial and tribulations that the both of them have to go through. Spoilers here, but I wish they showed :
   - how Henry helped Claire get revenge on the guy who abused her because he thought she was a tease. I thought this should’ve been shown because it showed how Claire did try to date others, and how Henry helped her in her time of need. I cried at this part in the novel ok!
   - how many, many times Claire had abortions because the baby time travelled out of the womb. It was 7 times! In the movie, it doesn’t show as much (seemingly only once). Also, Henry totally got Claire’s permission before he got a vasectomy. In the movie it was so weird, he randomly kissed the teenage Claire after he time-travelled after the operation. It made him seem so caddish. It was much more romantic, and filled with understanding in the book
   - how Claire had to deal with “the other Henry”, the one who had not met her yet. How Gomez saw “the other Henry” with Ingrid before and that’s how it colored his perception of Henry. In the movie, Ingrid was a mere Revlon lipstick in the cabinet. Not alluded at all further than the first 10 minutes of the show
   - how Claire endeared herself to Henry’s father and the Korean landlady. It was very funny in the novel, and I think it would’ve helped flesh out Claire’s character in the movie. Then again, Rachel McAdams is so charming and likable (like Eric Bana), that the movie didn’t really need further prompting to make you feel for them (I suppose).
   - I wish they showed how obsessed / in love Gomez was with Claire… it was another interesting angle… but ok, this one I could live without it appearing in the movie.

   However, I do prefer the movie’s ending to the book’s ending. In the book, I found it incredibly selfish of Henry to write that he met the old woman Claire in his love letter to Claire, knowing that she would spend the rest of her life waiting to meet 43 year old Henry again. It’s like, she has spent her whole life waiting for you to appear, and even in your death, you can’t give her any peace? Maybe he hoped that she would take it another way – for her to go on with life, knowing that she would meet him again. But instead her life kinds of ends as well, waiting for him. In the movie, at least he tells her that he didn’t tell her he would be there because he wants her to go on with life and not sit around waiting for him. That is definitely more selfless and loving and much harder to do.

   Gosh, when I read the ending in the book, it was so painful to know that that is what happens to bubbly, strong Claire at the end. It really spoiled what was otherwise an incredibly solid novel. *sigh* So you might say that life sucks, and you can’t have warm, happy, fuzzy endings all the time. But since life already sucks, why would I search out for more proof of its suckiness? I rather read, listen and watch things that fill my soul with joy.

3. I am now very much addicted to 4 things that I keep buying when I’m in Taipan :
   a. siew mai;
   b. dai pau;
   c. lo mai kai;
   d. mat tou yau;
   There’s this 3 street vendors that park themselves opposite McDonalds in Taipan. The siew mai, dai pau and lo mai kai all gotten from this old man manning his hot tray of goodies. I like him very much, and anyway whenever I see old people at their age working, I feel very sad. But that’s not why I keep giving him my money … it’s cos the food damn nice ok.

   

   And “mat tou yau” is a dessert that literally “mat tou yau” (everything also got). There’s rambutan, longan, chinese white fungus, herbal jelly, ginko nuts, etc. I think there’s 14 toppings there or something like that. After eating the whole tub, you feel like you’ve eaten a complete, balanced meal. Seriously, it’s really good, but I gotta stop buying from these street vendors because even though each item is affordable on its own, at the end of the day, it’s a lot. T___T RM4.50 for dessert each time wor… some more I am supposed to be on a healthy diet this month.

   Oooh… and my Archilles heel … Indomee DOUBLE… ~

   

4. Talking about healthy diet + sleeping early month, it has failed miserably. Like, the plane could not even take off from the runway type of failure. First day, I went to sleep 15 minutes later (12:45am). The next, it was yet another 15 minutes later. So come the weekend, I was sleeping late again. Sigh. Yesterday, I switched off the PC at 2:30am. Still alright in my books (since according to Raymond, my USUAL bedtime is 4am), but when I reached my room, it was still in its “half-cleaned” mess. I got so annoyed that I started cleaning the top of my cupboard and packing away stuff that was just lying on the floor.The good news : top of my cupboard all organised AND clean of dust. Packed away my make-up into two very cute boxes and generally, the only thing left to clean is now my alcohol stash behind my full-length mirror, two compartments of my dressing table and one drawer inside my closet. That’s like, only 10% of my room left. Super efficient! *self praise*

   The bad news : I ended up sleeping at 4am last night. -___- I would say, “For sure I’ll sleep by 12:30am tonight!” but it’s something I’ve been promising myself for the past week, and hey, even I don’t believe myself.

5. The best purchase of 2009 will have to be my ipod docking station + speakers! I bought it last weekend in KLCC! It was on a very random whim that I decided to go to Machines to *finally* fix my so-called “ipod video” problem. I’m ashamed to mention what the problem was and how it was fixed. I’m so n00bish, and this is why I say I’m technologically-challenged. -__- When I told my friend, she asked me whether the Machines guy scolded me for wasting his time wtf. The answer is NO, he was super professional and nice, so I decided yes, I would get speakers for my ipod hear after all. (Yes, this thought process is inter-related.)The main reason why I wanted the speakers is because I wanted a way to practice my Body Attack “hands free”. I’m so indecisive, seriously. Some days I feel like I must practice harder and harder, and some days I feel like giving up. However, I must not give up!! Too many people keep coming up to me and giving me words / scoldings. In the words of one feller… “Slap slap! Wake up!” T___T

   The thing is, they are all really nice and motivating about it… I feel so touched by their words. It really gives me motivation to work harder and harder.

   I really do try, you know. It’s just that I don’t want to do it for the sake of doing it. I want to ensure that I am PHYSICALLY in the right shape for it. The whole “look like an instructor” thing. I want to make sure I’m really toned and fit looking. Not a blobby mess. Cos seriously, do not lie and say that you do not feel doubtful if you go to a class and the class is being led by a fat instructor. I can guarantee you, they have the moves and can shake / kick / jump /dance better than you, but just because of the way they LOOK, you doubted them.

   I don’t want to be doubted. (Although I do know that there are people who no matter what you do, will doubt you anyway, but I want the likelihood of that to be MINIMAL la. -___-)

   Anyway, the ipod speakers made it easily to the top 10 purchases because the other stuff I bought this year are kinda unmemorable, other than : payment to do BA training ; my flight tickets to London + Madrid + Paris ; my flight tickets to Bangkok ; my Coast dress;
   Nothing much really. ;p

6. I know a lot of people say that they would never work for Nike – unethical, sweatshop operators, etc. But since I’m a believer of Gladwell-isms and erm… Tim Hartford-isms (read it up before stoning me) – I still like Nike designs and I’m still gonna buy ‘em anyway. I want to get the latest edition of the Nike Sister Zoom, but my Run Avants are currently basically doing the same thing. At the moment, I need a shoe with more stability and support actually.

   Bought these the other day, from Midvalley :
   

   Finally got the red Puma bag that I’ve been eyeing for a VERY LONG time. It was RM269 and I had been waiting and waiting and biding my time. First it went down 20%… and now I snapped it up when it’s down to RM85. Lovely! It’s called “American Beauty”, haha. (Puma named it so, not me.)

   There’s a lot of other stuff I wanna get… more shoes, a jacket, more sports bra tops (all my sports bra tops are nicer than my actual tops… if only I am confident enough to wear that alone at the gym! ), more shorts for BA, a NICE 3/4 pants (so hard to find a nice one. My fave is still the one with the lime green band on top), etc etc. I’m just greedy… ~~~

Now, click for really camwhore-y pictures of me from my handphone. *shy*shy* At least now there’s an option to block you off from seeing it all on the front page.

I Turned 26 (Part 1) November 23, 2009

Yeah yeah, I know that I said after Bangkok comes London entries, but I suddenly realised that I haven’t blogged about my birthday celebration(s) this year, and there were so many of them that if I don’t do this 1.5 months later, it’ll totally slip my mind. It was also my self-dubbed “Bulan Bersocial October” (“October – The Month of Socialising”), so I kinda had ALL my weekends in October filled up. Fuuh! And now it’s “November – The Month of Vegetating”. Catching up on sleep and just relaxing around. Remember how I used to go for mad number of hours of back-to-back classes at the gym? Now I just go for one (usually Body Attack) and call it a day.

Those who are on my Facebook will probably have seen all the pictures already. But here’s the pictures with STORY included as well. Hahaha! (Actually, my caption-ing of the pictures are quite cheong hei too… oh whatever. Those not on my FB, enjoy. Those on my FB, enjoy again!)
