FoOd PoiSoniNg!!!!!

My "Bro-in-Law" treated my sis and I to The Rice Table for lunch buffet yesterday, when we were in town for the Isetan Private Sale!! The spread was yummilicious! I love Asian Food!

But alarming to say, all three of us are down with diahorrea today. That says alot about the integrity of the food, doesn't it?

My diahorrea is pretty bad, poor tummy still feels very weird... Even charcoal pills did not help. I had to dash to the toilet every 2 hours during my pathetic 6-hours sleep. And another attack followed right after my first meal of the day. That is a total of 4 dashes! (That makes me a professional sprinter now... Haha.)

My "Bro-in-Law" had the runs 4 times too. And he still went for work today. Poor him. Comparatively, my sis is the luckier one among us. She only had like one single bowel attack this morning. Just one! To think I ate far less than the both of them! Life is unfair! Well, I figured out that sis' well-trained stomach must have had better resistance to baddies in food.

Nevertheless, we thought we were really lucky that the symptoms of food poisoning were not immediate. Just imagine dashing for toilets when we were shopping after lunch. What a mood spoiler it will be!

Anyway, we are speculating it might be the curried beef. That was what my "Bro-in-Law" and I ate the most of. Though I would certainly hope NOT, because that was the dish I enjoy most during the buffet! So I am very determined to think that the not-so-fantastic vegetable curry must have been the culprit!
"Bad Bad Ungrateful Curry Vege, to think that I sided with you when they thought you tasted yucky!"

oh, about the curry beef... *Drools*... Chunky and tender beef cubes stewed in thick aromatic spicy curry sauce... Just thinking of it can still makes me salivate! Ohhh....

I am already craving another visit to The Rice Table for its curry beef!!! I guess having one or two diahorrea never killed anyone, right? Despite all the agony we suffered, I still think its definitely worth another visit!

My philosophy says: Good food is always worth the risk! Isn't it?!

Rice Table, I'll be back real soon!!!
(Erm, no. I don't think I am hopeless lah... Ok, maybe just slightly greedy lah. Haha.)

Disclaimer: My sis is not married, yet.

iN MeMoRy oF mY ShRuBs...

I just killed my shrubs!!!!!!

This morning when I had my first peep into my mirror, I was deeply mortified to see that I have two hairy shrubs for eyebrows. It suddenly occurred to me that the last time I visited a professional beautician to have my eyebrows shaped was like 2 years ago?

I thought: "Why spent $20 to let someone else uproot my shrubs? *Tsk Tsk* Don't waste money mah... I can easily shape my eyebrows myself. Easy job lah."

*I guess I had never learnt from my 10-Dollar-Haircut mistake.*

So enthusiatically, Miss Over-Confident proceeds to pluck her shrubs with an old tweezers. And she soon realizes why she is not a professional. I really wouldn't exactly call that plucking "shaping". Its erm, well... As the shape of my eyebrows became more and more distorted, I started to panic and began plucking more and more to salvage the already shrunken shrubs. Gosh.

Disasters knows no end... My poor shrubs.

The results are two very revolting jagged black lines that one may call eyebrows on a second look. My right eyebrow somehow decides that it is more superior to my left eyebrow, so it must sit at a higher level. That's fabulous. Now I have a permanent surprised look on my face. How nice.

I guess by now my face realises the horror that her stupid owner had created, my face muscles totally repel the "new look". They started twitching to show their great displeasure, giving me muscle seizure around my eyes, so I end up with a really crossed look.

Ouch.

Why do I always do stupid things to myself? Being ugly just isn't enough, I am impulsed to make myself HIDEOUS!

And MY GOD!!! The PAIN!!!!!! It makes me want to HOLLER!!!!!!!

P/S: Guys, please appreciate girls with neat eyebrows; plucking these shrubs is damn painful! AARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I sHaLL bOyCott K-BOX!!!!

Went KTV after my quiz on Friday with the almighty Empress Law! Happy!

But was quite irritated actually. We went for K-Box, BAD CHOICE. I can tell u it was one really really bad experience. Sometimes I think my last job had made me into someone with high demands for service. But frankly, K-BOX can't even pass my lowest criteria! Even Empress Law who is usually alright with service standards which I thought was already lacking, got rather pissed off this time.

Why shouldn't we demand better service from K-Box? First of all, K-Box charges us a per pax fee which is much higher than places like PartyWorld. On assumption that they share similar qualities of sound systems, song varieties and other hardware features (which obviously is not the case), then you tell me where the extra charges can be justified from. Naturally we expect better service, right? Just like you wouldn't expect a less-than-polite stewardess from SQ.

But K-BOX is just a huge disappointment, proving itself to be such everytime I visit them.

Receptionist acts like everyone owes her money and is there to obey her commands. Damn rude.

Its bad enough that their sound system sucks, and they have a major lack if extensiveness in their song varieties (I cant find many songs I used to sing at other places), we had alot of problem trying to analog even those few songs that were available. And every staff would walk pass the room every 5 minutes and stare inside. What, do I look like some sort of monkey locked up in a Zoo Cage for you viewing pleasure? Pissed.

Every 15 minutes, without fail, someone will BURST into the room, leave the door wide open, ask some rubbish like if we want any more drinks, then swing the door back with a huge SLAM. FISH. Hello? Use your common sense can?! Can I finish a drink every 15 minutes or not? And if your company didn't teach you how to knock before you enter a room, I am surprised your parents didn't too! How can we sing if you break into our privacy every 15 minutes???? If I wanted that kind of disturbance, I might as well opt to sing in an open space lounge! Let me remind you why you are so expensive. That's because you are charging us for the privacy of a room as well! Idiot! And why are u slamming the door on us???! FISH, am I paying to see u flare ur goddamn bad attitude?

Am damn pissed!

Not forgetting the super rude ah-Lian. We didn't order our drinks for the first half an hour, then this idiot-ah-lian burst in and demand us to order drinks! Yes, you read it right, she DEMAND! We told her we'll order later, then guess what that idiot-ah-lian said? "NO, you must order now!" What the FISH! KNN! How dare you! Now I'm pretty certain K-BOX doesn't teach their staff manners, and neither did their parents!

K-BOX, you explain to me why am I paying so much for such shabby service and poor systems?

Nevermind, save it. I don't even want to hear you explaination. You just lost yourself 2 customers. I am boycotting you.

Dear friends, its not lawfully right for me to ask you to boycott them as well, so I would not. All I ask is for you to decide on your next KTV trip, whether it is really worth the lot of money spent on poor systems and bad service and outright rudeness? If yes, go ahead. I will pray for you. R.I.P..

Anyway, on a happier tone, here are some pictures taken on that irritable night.

I must have been staring at Jay!!!!

My quiz made me ugly... Sob.

Empress Law and Me

This is out of point, but I just want to show you yesterday's dinner. Haha.

SUFFERING

I really shouldnt be blogging right now...

I have got a Maths quiz later and I am far from finishing my revision. But I really need to take a break from all those Xs and Ys now. Studying Maths always makes me feel like I am suffering. Yes, SUFFERING!! As in, "stab a knife through my heart and crush my skull with a rock" that kind of SUFFERING..

I hate Maths. It drives me to a state of suicidal depression. I really hate hate hate Maths. I even considered hurting myself just to avoid the Maths quiz. Yes, I am stupid.

I am beginning to wonder if Engineering is actually a revenge-tool carefully planned and exercised by the "Greats" to torture the generations thereafter? I hate Newton and all his evil evil associates. Argh!! I am talking out of point here. But please bear with me, cos I am "SUFFERING" here.

Never in my life had I longed so much to just be another bimbo. That is obviously far better than to exists as someone with intelligence and appearance which are neither here nor there.

Spent the whole night wondering why am I not good at anything at all?

And why am I not crying yet? Why cant I cry over this??

Great. The most unnatural of unnaturals have happened... Even my tears have abandon me.

mEeTinG THE EMPRESS LAW

Finally met up my dear Samsoonie, who is now the "accomplished leader" of her "Royal Family", now titled Her Majesty, the Empress Law. By the way, I have been adopted under her "Royal Club", as her "Royal Daughter", the Princess Law... And Baby is now her "Royal Tutor".

......That girl watched too much korean dramas.

"Her Majesty" treated mi to supper at the Coffee Club Express after my class. (THANKS!) Was so tired, but really happy to see her! I'm grateful that she would always try to make time to meet me up despite her schedule and even the distances.

Her "Royal Duke" came with a friend, the poor "No-Rank Eunuch" (who is also about to get married real soon! Congrats Congrats!). Many thanks to the "Royal Duke" and the "No-Rank Eunuch" for sending the direction-less me home in the ulu-west! Haha! But I don't have any decent pictures to accredit them lah...

Here's me taking FOREVER to decide what to order... Everything looks good to a famished girl mah!

Scary Scary...

There was this really big-action, ghost-like, scary woman seated behind us, speaking in extremely accented English. Sounds like a taiwanese... Very loud, the whole cafe can hear her. And GOSH!! They freaked the hell out of us when they suddenly gather closely around their table, and grasp their hands together in long silence!! Empress Law thinks they were playing some kind of Spiritual Games (i.e. Dish Spirit). My god! Spiritual-summoning in a cafe???!!! We finally drew a more "scientific" conclusion that they must be praying... Erm???

Empress Law really really really LOVES taking pictures.

Us at Eski-Bar... Freaking cold place. Brrr....

When I reached home, my teamie was waiting under my flat to pass me some tibits!!! Great munchies for studying! Thank You! Thank You!! But he say don't post his pic... So I cannot post lah...

wEdDinG BeLLs!!!!

This must be the Era of Weddings!!! I have got a wedding dinner on the 7Oct, a church wedding ceremony to “jie-mei” at on 18Nov, and Miss V has booked my 07Sep’07 for hers… And my dear Samsoonie twin… whom is now called Empress Law… is attending a wedding this weekend. Not forgetting my sis who just updated me that she’s got 2 weddings to attend soon too!

Before I type on, let me congratulate all my beloved friends first!

CoNgRatS!!!! CoNgRatS!!!!

Gosh, everyone is getting married, isn’t it? All those wedding bells, they are clinking real furiously beside my ears now. It got me into deep thinking… And as if not enough, I did some research too. Am I stressed… NOT.

A thread in a popular forum says, to hold an average wedding comfortably, it takes at least 50k. 50K! That’s absurd, isn’t it? When a simple ROM costs you like only $26, how the hell can it roll on to a huge $50,000… Yes, that’s four zeros behind that 5! Ok, u may blink now.

Costs include the $26 for ROM, down-payment for a flat, renovations, furniture, wedding dinner, bridal photography package, honeymoon, a lot of dresses, and blah blah blah… Well, even the “Ang-Bao-pockets” costs money.

I was telling Mom that I won’t be getting married if it means all these money. I’ll rather cohabit… That set Mom off in another string of “blah blah… Chinese cultural traditions and integrity… blah lah blah…” (Kaoz..). But she too agreed that that’s a lot of money.

Come on, who wants to get married with a scorched big hole in their pants! And I read that some people actually take up huge loans to fulfill their once in a lifetime extravagant “fairytale”. Its silly! *Roll Eyes* It isn’t a good start to any “happily-ever-after”, because you know how hard you’d have to slog “ever-after” to pay up.

And what is the difference between a Honeymoon trip to Taiwan and a Honeymoon to all over Europe? You think the air you breathe in will be different?! I’d tell you apart from wiping his wallet squeaking-clean; breathing in dry regions like Europe makes you feel like your nose is about to drop off, gives you a really bad hair day and finally causes really bad rashes on your skin!

Besides, it is just not fair to burden Mr Bridegroom with splurges like these! Not fair, not fair! Well, unless he himself demanded for one very extravagant wedding + honeymoon in the first place. Which, by high chance, is very unlikely.

I never want to get married this way. And in case u are thinking, NO NO NO, we have absolutely no intentions to get married in a long time yet. But… Nevertheless, I think I shall still tell Baby that it takes 50K to get married. Haha! *EviL EviL* Well, its never too early to start planning and saving mah… And yes, even if I don’t end up his bride, its still important to plan and save!

But quite frankly, he is the one guy that I usually do not need to stress about planning anything at all. Now does that explain why he’s the naggy one between us? How fortunate.

HaPpy hApPy DaY!!!

The title says it all! I am so happy today! Finally... A long awaited fruitful shopping trip!! Baby is once again amazed at how shopping affects the X-chromosome species... and his wallet. The power of shopping, as proven countless times, knows no limits! Haha!

Bought 2 black tubes and another weaved-straw-bag! Nice!!

And Baby got us a pair of Tiffany-&-Co-NOT couple rings!!!! Its our first and hopefully only pair of couple rings (meaning if neither of Mr & Miss Blur loses it... hehe.). They are so nice right!!! I like them so much!!! Tiffany or NOT, I love it!!!!

On our way to the KINGDOM OF SHOPPAHOLICS!

Is it my imagination? Why does there seems to be an evil grin on my face??? Hehe..

DeLiCatEd tO mY BeSt FRieNd...

Today's my best friend's birthday!!!! I wonder if she does read this blog but anyway, I shall delicate a short entry to her :o) Was teasing her about wrinkles via sms just now, she retort back with it will be my turn soon! Oei!!! How dare u, I'm gonna twist your face into a bag of wrinkles when I see u tomorrow! Hehe, just kidding lah...

In case u are wondering, we're of the same year, but she's decided to prove her seniority by aging a few months before me... So she's like damn OLD now... as in like this:

Haha, now she's really gonna kill me...

Actually she look youthful lah... Like this (I like this pic, grabbed it from her Friendster... HEH):

She mentioned in her Friendster testimonial that I am her Angel, oh my... She obviously doesn't know the GEM that she is! So many things has change over the years... (I'm sorry we cant get to meet often now... Sob I miss her so much!) But she's still my bestest bestest friend ever!

The friend who saw me grow up in the past 7 years.
The friend who knows my darkest & crappiest secrets (ok lah, I don't have any dark secrets lah... or I think).
The friend I need when I am at my weakest.
The friend who is always there when I need to cry my heart out...
The friend who never fails to reassure me when times are dark.
The friend who is as generous with her reassurrance, believes that I can make it
The friend who brought me to pubs in years of curiosity.
The friend who, without a single word of complaint, drag me to her place, clear away my vomitus and clean me up before sending me off to my parents, when I got far too drunk... and still worried if I got scold by my parents.
The friend who still laughed when she fell down when attempting to carry the drunken me down a flight of stairs.
The only friend who cooked teriyaki chicken and fried chicken for me in ONE dinner. But nice lah.
The friend who generously offer her best help whenever I need, with no demands for even a word of THANKS.
The friend who is still there when the rest have failed to prove themselves against the cruelity of time and faith.
The friend whom I wish I can give her as much as she offers.

TianTian, thanks for being there, as always. Thanks for believing in me, and thanks for filling my life with laughter!

Happy Birthday, Babe! And you know I LOVE YOU TOO!

NiGHtmaRe...!!!

I have not blog for almost a week! Now I even have problems constructing sentences to make a decent entry. Sorry if u spot really bad english here, I am doing my best to do a proper type... And of so many topics that I can blog about, I am here to rant about a boring nightmare. U can see how sluggish my mind is now.

I have to blame my absence from the blogging world to the quiz that just ended. And it did end quite badly, so don't ask me about it =x 欠揍啊?? I have had a very hard time restricting my focus for the past week, I am somewhat amazed by what a short span of concentration I have. **面壁思過** This is probably the reason why I can never score in the exams **慘了啦**, even when I start my revisions comparatively early. 我一定要更努力... GO GO 加油!!!!

I thought I can take a day of break from all the reading, have a good night's sleep and a happy day shopping **超期待** tomorrow. I never realised how overwhelmed my mind is by all the data, until a nightmare disrupted my sleep. Yes, this is why I am awake at 4:30am in the morning.

It was one of the funniest nightmare I ever had... **苦笑** In it, I was working non-stop on calculations... Gas law, Kay's Method, Presure, mole balance, it all came to me like an exam with no end. So I kept calculating and calculating until I refused to work anymore and stop at a ridiculous question with 12,000 ton lbmoles of Nitrogen, N2. Like a child's dream, the 12,000 ton lbmol N2 jumped of the paper and started to crush me! My god, 12,000 ton lbmol N2 must be like alot alot of weight!!! I forgot to check if it is in gaseous or liquid state... 哈哈哈哈.

I guess 12,000 ton lbmol of N2 must be my mind's way of measuring stress 吧! Hahahaha!

好啦... 宵夜去!

NoBoDy LikEs yOu...

Ever met with people who think they know u well enough to pass u degrading verdicts, as though they stand at the lighter end of the balance? And, being polite does not stop them. I am sure u had. Many times...

FISH.

As if you know me that well.

If you are that great, how come you are such a failure yourself?

Let me guess. You must have a inferiority that you can't deal with, and you know it.

You are more than pathetic if you have to go around degrading other people to make yourself feel better and more superior. Your actions are so pitiful, you make me laugh.

Nobody likes someone who blacken the stars on a dark night. Nobody likes you.

Read:
On one such case, I am still being polite not to reveal your identity and what you did. If I did, I'll consider you lucky to receive just a few slaps and probably a couple of punches to add on. Don't let there be a next time, cause he wasn't lying when he said he wants to beat you up...

***tRaDe-iN pRoMOtiOn!!!!***

Ok, she's done it again. That does it. I am fat, so now I know it, again.

Twice a week, Mom never fails to remind me that I'm FAT in such 'sweet' ways:

"Aiyooo, see your butt has become so huge!"
"Your face has become so round!"
"Stop eating. See how big your thighs are!"
"I can see your tummy bulged out. Go on diet."
"You have become so much fatter...."
"You are still eating??? You have got NO waist already!"
"See, look at your double chin! Stop eating!"
"You butt has become so big, that when you walk I see 2 pieces of meat bouncing!"
And 2 months ago, it was: "Look at how tight your Kebaya is! Ur fat meat is bulging out!"

KNN... Grrrrr.....!!! What kind of mom does that?!! Its not my fault that I am so huge, its their genes, so its their fault!! Life is unfair.. :O(

Anyone interested to trade-in your weighing scales for a diet-program with a personal touch?
I would gladly trade you.... The Empress, Her Majesty.

I've GoT a nEw CaMeRa!!!!

I have not blog in a couple of days. Neither have I been studying for the past 2-3days... Feeling panicky now... 84 more days to exams-hell. I honestly know I am in for trouble. I swear I'll start my revision right after this.. really, really!

I went to the Comex 2006 at Expo yesterday with Baby. In fact, we went there twice in a day! Why? Blame it on BLUR ChoCo (thats me), kept thinking yesterday was the last day of the exhibition.
Guess what? Baby bought me a Nikon S5!!!! It came with a free 1GB SD card. Yeah!!! Hip hip Hurray!!!! I love it!!! I am so happy I want to do the Kallang-Wave thrice!! Baby's so nice, right? Wahahahaha!! Before you ask -- No, I don't think he was forced into this. Really!

My Nikon S5 looks like this. Nice? So slim that strapping it on my shoulders wouldn't break my neck.

And the Freebies...

But why would they give me a free extra battery that doesn't fit? Almost broke my camera's battery flap when I tried to dig out the useless misfit battery with a tweezer!

Bought a Toshiba 1GB thumbdrive for $44!

Tired Yi & Me after a sleep-through writing class... Hehe.

Our dinner at the MaLan La Mian @ Expo.

The noodles serving is so small, and I am not the only one complaining... Overheard a guy at the next table complaining that he finished his noodles in 2 mouthfuls. Oh, did I mention that my noodles came with a free snail-on-vege? The waiter was shocked. Well, maybe they're just trying to keep up with Comex 2006's freebies trend. Hmm.

Us again...

Yesterday was the first time I saw Baby blew his top! I have never seen he get so angry before! He decided to get a portable solar charger from one of the exhibition booth. After paying in full for it, they inform us that they actually had no stock for the item and that we are buying on pre-order basis! Of the two times that we talked to them and even up to the point when Baby paid for it at the cashier, nobody mentioned anything about pre-ordering!

I understand why Baby blew his top. He hates marketing gimmicks. And they totally deserved it. The young chinese promoter said she forgot to mention it. When Baby raised his voice at her, I kind of felt sorry for her. She is just a part-time promoter, she may not have excellent product knowledge, I have been in the service line and I know these things happens. But for the people behind the counter, they are in the business so they should and must have already know their inventory status. Especially the cashier who knew but only chose to tell us after Baby had paid for it.

Since Baby paid by NETS, getting back the money will be complicated and doubtful. So they said they will deliver the charger to us, and apparently also to many others tomorrow. They better do, or I'll make sure many people will know about this and the brand involved.
