Drive by Incubus is the ultimate song to groove to! Once it gets you started, you can even shake your ass to Mary had a little lamb. Yesterday's wedding event at Rochester was great because for one, the song selection rocked. Not that I don't enjoy the typical jazzy wedding singers we normally get, but it was nice to hear mainstream pop/rock for a change. It was a chinese bride and caucasian groom who had the most splendid looking brother. Omg I could serve him drinks all day la. (All the waitresses were going gaga over him) The groom was a little well.. fat and perpetually high. By 10 we the part-timers had been reduced to wiping cutlery at the bar whilst the full timers wentoff to slack/smoke/eat/talk, so the 3 of us, away from the line of vision of anyone, gleefully wiped dinner knives and forks as we belted out and shaked our bums to sounds of Incubus, Maroon 5 and Oasis. The chef joined us too, haha... Yay, it was like being at a party withhout having to socialise!

And I have no work for the next couple of days because they're closed for the company holiday! yay! :D

Omg, it's a Saturday morning and already I have nothing to do! (at least I don't feel like doing anything) Freak! I'm actually bored when I've been pining for the weekend to come! Talk about greener pastures.

boredboredboredboredboredbored.

Nobody talk to me.... *pouts xw pout* I sad sad!

Sucks that the family's not in, I haven't had the chance to talk to my sister this week, and conversation with her is very important to me, it's a time where both of us get to fulfill our word quota. And stu0opid feifei has abandoned me for crummy Vietnam, so that leaves me no choice but to fultill my word quota here, typing to NOONE. Ah!!!I'm going crazy!!

Sometimes I wish I were someone with a special need, then I wouldn't be watched and wouldn't be given blardy expectations to fulfill.

Splish Splash!

This is a post similar to the mish mash post a couple of weeks back, I just felt like giving it a similar name. =)




27 Dresses was good! After an entire week of dull, sleep inducing admin work and late night waitressing, the weekend has just been what I've been waiting for. Here's a line from 27 Dresses I found to be really apt at describing disappointment:



'It's like finding out that my all time favourite love song is about a sandwich!'



And here's another line I'd like to quote from the super cock jackson which I feel is a pick-me-up anyday,



'At least you don't have a siamese twin who's gay!'

And the moon has never looked fuller to me! Alright blame my lousy camera which has the most ineffective night mode, that bright light is not a street light but the moon. I know this is completely random, as usual, but the moon was gorgeous on the day that it was full, it was simply heavenly! All right nevermind I know everyone would rather hear about mooncakes rather than moons.

I don't understand how anyone can stand a desk job, it's the most unhealthy, uninteresting, uninteractive and unstimulating job ever.

Last thing I'd like to say, the best way to appreciate and enjoy a weekend, is to slog like a dog during the week to fully understand why weekends were created.

Our botak boys-turned-men are out from their 2 week (prison) confinement! WEll, at least most of them, haha...

Omg I'm becoming a workaholic like my mum! *gasp!*

I better up my 'intake' of Martha Stewert shows!

Anyways we had a fun girls night out celebrating Cons's birthday! We went to a jazzbar that didn't really play much jazz. Well, perhaps it's our fault for leaving before the musician could start performing (we all very guai one ok, follow curfew) haha.. But that place has super cheap drinks, $9 nett for 2 drinks, housepours. So anyone who's keenon becoming an alcoholic/is one, tell me. I'll give you the address.

(Black and white covers the blemishes, hehheh,,...)

cigerettes

I bought my first pack of cigarettes that day! Not for myself, thank goodness. Being very cigarette-idiot, I have been having trouble pronouncing the brand name 'Marlboro' because of all the mispronounciations I've heard over the years. Plus the fact that I've never ever in my life needed to articulate the name as well. I find the 'L' in Marlboro to be very deceiving, for the first time in my life I get my 'Rs' and 'Ls' very mixed up, (Like Derek). The common ah pek pronounciation would be

'Eh Mah-brow Lite'

or

'Mah-blow Men-toh'

So I thought to myself, is it Marlbrow? Marbolo? Marborow? Mahbolo? The worst combination is Marlboro Menthol Light, now try saying that five times in a row. You may end up with something like

'Marbolo Menthol Light'

or

'Marboro Menthol Right'

Sometimes the customers get a little slurry and slobber their way through the Cigarette name, resulting in me getting equally blur and confused (Thank goodness they're too stoned to notice)

And so, after much clarification and practice, I can now pronounce Marlboro with ease. =) Ok fine, I still can't.

Rain

It's pouring cats, dogs, elephants, and T-rexes. Oh why can't it be raining men, there aren't enough good ones left! ( I completely agree with the saying, the good men are either taken, or gay)

IF not for my work later, I'd go out and splash in the rain, catch pnemonia and die dramatically like in some sappy korean soap opera, but not before I meet and accidentally fall in love with my long lost twin brother who got seperated from me at birth. Don't laugh, I just read a newspaper article of a couple somewhere who went through this, I can't remember exactly which country it was but it's a pretty conservative asian one I think. Eeee, falling in love with your brother. *shivers*

Nat gave us funny, furry, obiang clip on earrings on Sunday, that's what I get stuck with for having unpierced ears. Anyways, I felt like I was wearing Chip and Dales' tails on my ears. Haha! weird poofy things, they look as if like electric currents were passed through the little fellas before their tails were chopped off. Morbid, aren't I. =)

Love you sisters, make my days seem not that jialat=D

Now I have furballs in my pencil case.

And it's still pouring like crazy! I just want to curl up and sleep, but I have such an awful stiff neck it feels as if I went through a wrestling match yesterday! so much for being happy clappy all day-y (must rhyme mah...)

Happy!!

I'm in such a fantabulous mood that I just have to share it! :D:D Firstly, catching Beauty World yesterday was not exactly fantastic, but great nontheless. What was nice wasn't the cheesy, shallow lyrics or the cliche plot, but just the feeling of being brought back to a time where melodramas were super melodramatic and cliched plots were as duh as ever. The singing was pretty good too, except that Channel U superstar guy who sounded like any typical cheena singer. However he did manage to pull off being an ah beng really well.

Secondly, I didn't fall down when I ice skated today! All right I did slip once and landed on my knees, but I'm glad that I managed to overcome my short term phobia. (St0opid Nat, I had to take cab leh!) And church was great today, =) so nice and un-emo. haha,... Nevermind.

Thirdly, I'm employed/semi-employed! Thanks to darling Aipoingo! Thank God! Yay!

Fourthly, work was damn slack today, and I was in such a good mood already, me breaking the cork of a wine bottle didn't set me off too much because there were not many staff around. It's much less stressful when no one's watching. But still paiseh la, I had to get the manager to open for me.

=)=)

And finally I come home early and get to talk to my 2 most favouritest girls! ( When I'm happy I create words no matter how retarded they sound) Fei fei and Nat! yay! =)

Spread the joy! hahah.... damn high now la!

Thinking...

Something which I haven't been doing much lately. However, I do feel that my current job does require me to do much more thinking than many other admin jobs my friends are doing. I've heard of one who's paid $7/hour to stick labels on nametags or something along that line. Man does that sound like NS clerical work or what.

Having joined the service industry, even though it has been a mere couple of weeks, has increased my empathy level and awareness but quite a fair bit. Some people ask me why I bother 'stooping' to do such a low paying and strenuous (we walk A LOT ok) job when with a pre-A-level cert you could be sitting comfortable in an office chair sticking labels/calling aunties/licking stamps/writing cheques all for a much higher pay. For one, I think it's an industry that requires much more brain and skill than admin work, I think these people should be paid much much more. Anyways, the F&B industry is something we all encounter daily, whether it's in the kopitiam or a posh restaurant. Face it, we eat everyday and it's nice to know what some places do to your food before you get it. I've always found an inclination towards behind-the-scenes things. The process of preperation catches my attention way more than the end product. Plus, I get to learn how to open bottles of wine! However I must admit that being constantly surrounded by drinkers and smokers isn't exactly the most pleasant thing, especially when you've got a sensitive nose. And knowing that with a protective and conservative mum like mine who's bred us to have a now natural disinterest or aversion towards alcohol, this would be a good opportunity to learn about the different poisons people put into their bodies. Gin, rum, vodka, whisky.. the list goes on and on and now, I finally know the difference between them! Well, not taste wise, but the technical side of alcohol at least.

Oh well then, I'm sleepy and we're having the nice-to-sleep weather now. =)

I opened a bottle of wine successfully! After one failed attempt though. I really don't feel like blogging about anything essentially interesting or thoughtful at the moment, my days whizz past so fast. Working life really isn't all that great, at least I'm not stuck with a desk job for now, I'd probably pon work like how Chio said she would. It still amazes me sometimes how susceptible we all are to our environment and how we change/conform/tweak to match what goes on in order to survive. Some call it learning, some call it losing your individuality. I call it survival depending if it's a conscious effort made to conform to what's best, and most importantly to know that you are conforming. I don't know, just blabbering crap.

I've finally woken up at 11!! WOW!

Jump of my life!!

I've always wanted to do something extreme in my life, especially when I hit 18. So, after a 6 month lag, I finally went on the reverse bungee with Oily and Chio! Video taken by our very own top pouter Fairy Woo Xiang Wei (explaining the lousy skill, haha)The video's not of the best quality, so here's a photo of the pre launch. Oily was grabbing our hands so tight (pimp) Our hands were numb after that. Ok to be honest, I was grabbing equally hard. Haha...

Ok enjoy the video!
