You sing a Happy Birthday song to the lion, so that he can BLOW the candle after the song..... *faint*
Tuesday, June 28, 2005
Duhz! Lame "IQ question"
Imagine you are in Africa. You have been tied hanging on a tree with a rope anchored on the ground, a candle is slowly burning the rope, and the lion is waiting for you to drop and be his lunch. Your survival hinges on the rope staying intact, there is no one around to help you. The only possible way is to somehow convince the lion to BLOW the candle out. How do you do that?

Manga to anime and finally movie, Initial D is indeed the most successful Japanese manga to date. Yes, I'm a true fan. Thanks to Bam Bam's colleague's boyfriend's friend, I got to watch the preview.
Personally, I would rate the movie 4 star, mainly because the movie focus more on characters development rather than the superb driving technique which is what Initial D is all about...
Takumi ��� the talented street racer who is a hidden gem of Mt Akina, sometimes also known as the tofu boy. It's a mistake to get Jay Chou to portray this lead character. He bloody can���t act! He puts in too much feelings and emotion whereas in the manga, Takumi is someone without much facial expression. The part were he cries, makes me wanna die of laughter. Come on~ When Takumi found out that Mogi is a social escort, he is juz devastated but being a bloke of wood, egoistic and prideful, he didn���t show his feelings out but choose to hide it. That scene of Jay crying makes me feel like he is being forced to cry and so not real. Guys who got hit hard on emotion cry with feelings not faek crying!
Ryosuke ��� Leader of Red Sun race team. An ace racer, technical genius when is comes to racing. Many racer aspire to be like him even his rivals have deep respect for his knowledge, skills and experiences. Together with his vase experience and skills, his ability to think and analyze while racing makes him a formidable opponent. He is my favorite character in Initial D. He is very humble and you will never hear him bragging about his achievements, even when he is explaining to his opponent why they lost the race. He does so without malice just stating the plain facts as he sees them. He is always willing to help a fellow racer improve their technique; even he knows he is their target. In the movie, Edison Chan is playing this spiritual character. Can I just tell you that he failed badly and tarnish the character completely. Utterly disappointed!
Takeshi - Leader of Night Kids race team. An excellent racer but his "win at all cost" attitude made in impulsive and impatient which he tends to try too hard and push his car beyond its limits, making mistakes and causes him to lose the race. Shawn Yu is starring this character which was a mistake as he does show the audience Takeshi eagerness to win. Personally I think he should play Takumi. Compare to Jay Chou, Shawn is more Takumi than Jay.
Bunta ��� Takumi's father. The legendary racer of Mt Akina. Played by Anthony Wong. He is good but again shows way too much expression for the character. On certain scene, he really looks like Bunta.
Itsuki ��� Takumi's buddy. Played by Chapman To. Probably the only actor who can portray closest to the character in the movie. 2 thumbs up! Well done.
Like what Bam bam say, I know the character too well. I really hope that the movie concentrate on the drifting and driving skills which I know in Japan, this is what professional street racer are expert at. To me the movie is juz like any other extract-from-comic movie like Spiderman or Batman.

Sorry for the long absence! Been busy. The long awaited Kor's wedding was held on 4 June. I was super duper busy on that day since I was the wedding coordinator. Everything went ahead smoothly as planned although there were minor hiccups here and there, but we managed to overcome.
I'm glad the guests all like the food served. The wine was practically wacked out. The whole bunch of cousin really can drink. Mini drama ��� one of my cousin who just learned to drink got drunk and was seen lying of the grass patch. He took a lot of pix with all of us and when his gf saw the pix, they exchanged heated argument. Dumb gf! We are all cousin so even if we are seen hugging each other, it meant nothing!
Borrowed "My Date with the Vampire Part 3" from Lawrence. Glad that I've completed the whole serial, 38 episode in a week time. The plot was not bad, although everyone said its bad, I think otherwise.
Last week was declared as MC week as I only worked for a day. The rest of the days were resting at home.
I've finally consolidated my photo album 2. Only manage to complete the first part as most of the pix were stored in my office PC and I need to develop the pictures. Hopefully I can accomplish the task by this week.
Listen Up! I���ve got free tickets to the premier of Initial D!!! Credit goes to Bam Bam. Its Wednesday, can't wait to watch the movie since I'm a great fan of the anime. Edison Chan will be playing my favourite character ��� Ryosuke Takahashi, the leader of Redsun, driving a suave white Mazda FC 3S RX 7. Frankly speaking, I prefer Shawn Yue to play this character but nonetheless, let���s not judge to early.
A lot of things has been happening in the office. Latest news is that they have changed the 1-working Saturday schedule back to alternate working Saturday. This also means that our office hours have been changed to 9 to 6pm. I hate it! For the past 6mths, I've been enjoying partying on Friday so much and now, its back to old irritating working schedule! Pui! Bad decision! Come July, there will be less partying on Friday. In a way I guess it's now the perfect reason I can give myself since previously I was saying that I wanted to cut down on my boozing session. WTH! It might be a blessing in disguise.
My boss has resigned and her last day is this friday. I'm gonna missed her so much. The past 6 mths working with her was a pleasant and enriching experience. I've learnt so much from her, and I believe that there are so much more to learn from her. Frankly her departure was much expected, I mean giving the current situation in the office, I would have left if I was in her position. I'm feeling very drained... coz no matter how much effort I put in, they are never satisfied. Not that I'm not good enough but they are still very much in the previous era, digging all the history and find fault. Every single matter, be it their scope or not, they want to interfer! It makes it so hard to work coz there are so many parties you need to satisfy. Not to mention that they are so calculative. WTF! I really dunno how long more I can tolerate this nonsense....
My Gerri Jie is finally coming back for good! I missed her so much! A lot of catching up to do....

YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE
Today's entry is especially dedicated to my favourite football club - Liverpool FC
Never mind if you lose EPL, FA... what mattter is THEY WON UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!
The only word to describe this morning match - UNBELIVABLE! The Mighty Reds were down 3-0 at first half. The 53sec goal scored by AC Milan shocked everyone. Then came another 2 more goals. Everyone thoought that was it. AC Milan have secured the champions league crown, theres no way Liverpool could fight back. However, second half goals by Liverpool's talismanic captain Steven Gerrard, Vladim铆r Smicer and Xabi Alonso wiped out Milan's seemingly unassailable half-time advantage.
~Steven Gerrard - I'm so proud of him
~ Xabi Alonso, scored the third goals *quite cute right*
Three goals down at half-time, within 15 minutes of the second half Liverpool had hauled themselves back on level terms. Who could imagine that?! But my red boys did it! Such a stunning fight back! Totally stunned everyone with slience!!!
Went into 2 rounds of extra time and finally a penalty shootout. Serginho fired Milan's first penalty over before Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek saved Andrea Pirlo's spot-kick. Dietmar Hamann and Djibril Ciss茅 nervelessly converted their spot-kicks and, although John Arne Riise's kick was blocked by Dida, Andriy Shevchenko - who scored the winner in Milan's shoot-out win against Juventus FC in the 2003 final - was denied by the Dudek to give Liverpool a famous victory.
Duduk, though I thought you were such an idiot to miss the first and third goal by AC Milan, but you saved the 3 penalty shoot out, so you are forgiven!
Liverpool - King of Europe! In taking their fifth European title, and their first for 21 years, they were awarded the trophy to keep.
Man U, Chealsea, Arsenal did have this glory at all...
Man U, you can go cry till the kingdom come cause u lost the penalty shootout on Sunday to Arsenal! So, do you have an UEFA cup to KEEP?!
*notice the word KEEP, and not won the title?*
Clariss sings~~~~
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Everyone is signing the contract....
As all might be aware, my dear brother will be getting married in 3 weeks time. Chop and confirm on the contract...
My gf - Adeline, will be goign through the customary wedding this Sept. So that means the Hong Kong trip that I'm dying to go during August will be cancelled. Any one like to take me to Hong Kong? Transport + Accom must be dirt cheap! I wanna spend all my $$$ on shopping.
Anyway with everyone getting married be it ROM or customary.... I think I'm hitting the mid-20s crisis as how Linda term it.... How? Not that I'm dying to get married, but why ain't I attached? By the way ideal marriage age is 28. So, logically, if you do your mathematics, you need about 3-4 yrs time or minimum 2 yrs to know the person well, whether you can take his living habits, characters, if you can get along well with his friends, parents, sibilings and relatives, isn't now the time to get attached?!
With due respect to all the male species... F the s'porean guys or maybe F my luck.... those I met after my break up with bengz were jerks! NOt that bengz was fantastic, is so we wouldn't have broken off taking into consideration my attitude and F-up temper. Is that so difficualt to meet a good nature guy?
As I read the eulogy of Dr. Wee Kim Wee, I began to ponder why loving husband all die early? As the grand-daughter realted the love Dr Wee have for Mrs. Wee, it really touches me and make me long for someone like him... minus off the beat me to dying first.
So now the question is How do you quantify a good and loving husband?
I totally agree with the common women saying literally translated as "Good guys are all others husband now" But then again, if good guys are all others husband then how do you explain when husband have affairs behind their wives back?
If Good guys = good husband = extra marital affiar? Then, Good guys = extra marital affairs? Hmmm....

Are you getting old???
Kids nowadays were so different from our time.... what childhood do they have???
According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint which was promptly chewed and licked. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip-flops and fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags - riding in the passenger seat was a treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted the same. We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy juice with sugar in it, but we were never overweightbecause we were always outside playing.
We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no-one actually died from this. We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went topspeed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.
After running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one minded.
We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99 channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms.
We had friends - we went outside and found them. We played elastics and rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt!
We fell out of trees, got cut, and broke bones but there were no law suits.
We had full on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents.
We played chap-the-door-run-away and were actually afraid of the owners catching us.
We walked to friends' homes.
We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls. We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of...They actually sided with the law.
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
I'm so glad I'm one of them. Are you? If so, Congratulations!
For those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about us.
This my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and it might put a smile on your face: The majority of students in universities today were born in 1986........They are called youth.
They have never heard of We are the World, We are the children and the version of Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel. They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena Cherry or Belinda Carlisle.
For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam.
AIDS has existed since they were born.
CD's have existed since they were born.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are Films from last year.
They can never imagine life before computers.
They'll never have pretended to be the A Team, RedHand Gang or the Famous Five.
They'll never have applied to be on Jim'll Fix It or Why Don't You.
They can't believe a black and white television ever existed. And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.
Now let's check if we're getting old...
1. You understand what was written above and you smile.
2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a night out.
3. Your friends are getting married/already married.
4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computers
5. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.
6. You remember watching Dirty Den in EastEnders the first time around
7. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good Old days, repeating again all the funny things you have experienced together.
Yes, you're getting old, my friend!!!

Am I turning Alchoholic?
Weekends of the past few months were plain boozing away. Recently, it've been to a stage where without booze I feell the emptiness within me. Its like something is missing and I juz didn't felt right. Counting my fingers away.... it seems like almost every Friday, I'll be at different place dinking with different group of pple... Am I leading that dream singlehood that I craved for when I was with Bengz, or am I finding some ways to numb myself? I really dunno...
It hit me hard and got me thinking when the recent bills came and all the transaction were from the drinking session. I bought myself nothing... not even a piece of clothing, a bag, an accessories, NOTHING!
Although I consider myself who can hold my own liquor... (the last time I was dead drunk was during my 17th bday) recalling back those silly things I've done when I'm out "partying" really puzzled me. Some of which I didn't even remembered, or I shocked the hell outta everyone with my behaviour and actions...
So am I or am I not????

I'm officially moved to 9B
Yes! From 9A to 9B.
I wonder next time if theres a kid,
will I be shifting from 9B to 8A?!!!
Confusing huh? Alright den... let me enlighten you....
My Kor is getting married this June, so I offered to exchange my room with him since my room is bigger. The negative side is that I've downgrading from a 5-door wardrobe to a 3-door wardrobe. Imagine the clothing I've to sell/give to karung-kuni *sob sob* True enuff...the wardrobe barely fit, so I bought a chest of drawers.
I threw away my old writing table which acoompanied me thru my burning midnight oil days... Now he is officially retired! RIP
I never realize how much clothes, bags, accessories, and achi-palia things were hiding from my eyes until I start digging them out from their comfy hiding place.
My new room looks neat and tidy aft all the hardwork of packing. I guess I need to start my furniture shopping to decorate my new room...

Friends are important.
How true! So much so that you either rot with them or you progress and succeed with them. I've my fair bit of experience.
Recently I heard someone saying this to me. If you line up your so called best friends, those you always hang out with, in front of you and you evaluate yourself against them. If you are more successful, in terms of life experiences, career, knowledge, the total packaging thingy, you should start to think about it.
She said when one feels that he/she is the most successful among all the friends; he/she will start feeling contented and stop learning. So how does one upgrade yourself? You can start by making new friends and hang out with them, coz every conversation that you start with them is an opportunity to learn.
I personally feel to a certain extend, there���s some truth to it.
I recalled my relationship with my gfs back in sch. We were brand as the ah lianz in sch. Ok personally, I dun like being called that. I NEVER WAS, NEVER WILL and NEVER BE! To me ah lianz has a toally different meaning and packaging to it and my character of being more expressive in terms of communicating and action doesn't fit the bill. Perhaps I used to go tea dance with them, so we were seen as the lianz. (tea dance sound yuckky now... but that was the in thing during my time)
Cut things short, the whole bunch of us "graduated" from sch, with the only me able to make it to poly. I really count myself lucky. The rest of them, didn't make it and started working. Well, they felt that it was a shame for an express stream student going to ITE, to repeat their O's was a pure waste of time, coz they never like studying, so they rather start working... I beg to differ. Hello~ who on earth like studying? Anyway it was their choice and I did my part to talk them into continue studying which I failed. Frankly, they told me, they want to start earning money and party, which I thought, come on~ you need to work at least 30 years before you can officially retire, so why the hurry? Unless, you can find a rich husband who can provide you with the ideal tai tai life every girl dream of....
So I went on with my 3-year in poly while they step into the cruel society. We still meet up like every weekend to party. But as times goes by, we started to drift apart there wasn't any common topic except boys and clothing. I can't tell them anything in sch except the only thing we talk about sch is whether there is any yandao in poly....
Here I must stress that, I dun think going poly is anything glam, in fact, If I've studied hard and stop wasting my time over some unworthy guys, I could have made it to JC and to Uni. Again not that going to JC or Uni makes you a better person or an upper class from others, but in this stupid society, paper qualification is still every important.
Partying wasn't any fun any longer. 1) I was still schooling so I can't match their spending power, although I was temp-ing but still I wasn't earning enough. And to sponge on them? That wasn't my style. 2) Every party session will end up a fighting session. Have you seen a bunch of pple (both guys and gals) fighting from the beginning of the street to the end? I have witness a few times. Its quite eye opening and thrilling at first. But when EVERY session turns out like this, I'm getting scared. Look I'm still schooling and having a criminal record doesn't do any justice to my future career.
So I made up my mind, to lessen the party session with them. As time goes by, we sort of stop seeing each other. They party like every other day and till morning, and by morning i meant 6am. If I've joined them, I would prob miss my lectures the next day. I dun look down on them, by I need to protect myself. Moreover, the guys who hang out with them, are obviously for a ONS (which stands for One Night Stand, if I must spell it out) All the tattoos (not those nice ones which I like, but those cheena dragon, ah bengs poems etc) and vulgarities flying across the air just put me off.
That was 6-7 years back Recently, with the advance of technology, the group met up again thru Friendster. Anyway we went party again. Still the venue haven't change. Still the techno and trance places. Topic haven't change, still revolve around guys and clothing and nothing more.
As I recall, we shared the happiest and notorious moments during my teen years. (Luckily we didn't get ourselves into any trouble. Apparently,, 1 of the girls till now is still so hooked on to smacking K and playing E. ok thats their lingo, K and E are soft drugs) But now, at my age, I can't be talking about guys and clothing ever-ry-day. Sometimes, when I share with them the problem i encounter in work, they can't seems to offer any advice.
I once chat with a good friend of mine. He said, along your life, you will get to know many people. These friends belongs to different category. Friends who you will meet up for coffee and chat about everything under the sun, Friends you party and get your self drunk and talk nothing else, Friends you share your inner and darkest secret with, Friends who share the same hobby, sport, interest as you. Friends who you turn to for advice etc.
How true is that, this is what is happening to my social circle, My group of Friends can be sub-divided into many category. I treasure them a lot and no I dun look down on them. Every one of them help to construct what I am today. I really own it to them. Coz they made me see the darkest side of human beings and hope in life. Like what that person say, every encounter and conversation has its own special way....Life is like a rollercoaster......

You should be shot!!!
Its a bad bus ride to work...
Scene 1: Stupid man who was sitting at the outer seat, was sleeping! I said "Excuse me" out loud which obviously he was too deaf or dead tired! (it was damn loud, coz the person sitting in front turned around and look at me) I poke him hard on this shoulder which still fail to wake him up. Conclusion: Poor bugger is sea ba (Hokkien) and he should get a hearing aid.
Scene 2: Bloody Xiao Long Nu try to act man zhou zhou (cantonese) reading a Cheena novel thinks that she is paying bus fare for her fat ass and ugly furly bag! Being a polite girl, I said "excuse me". Bloody XLN gave me a dirty look and pulled her Ugly Furly Bad toward her! Notice I said towards her and not put the bag on her lap?!!!! Look XLN, your UGLY bag has exceeded the seat edge, so its now half seated on my seat, asshole! So being a bitch, I used my lovely butt and pushed and shoved that UGLY bag towards her!
Look XLN, if you wanna be a bitch, I can be worse!!! I F***ing can't stand these pple, I mean whats your bloody problem. Trust me, I take bus to work for the past few years and I've seen all the ugly things you can never imagine! Not that I'm a complaint queen, but I get super duper irritated when I see all these worthless filthy animal polluting our enviornment. Dun get me started on the whole list of inconsiderate incident I've encounter. Maybe someday I should come out with a vote "Top 10 inconsiderate act you encounter on Public Transport"
***************************************************
Saw this on a kiddo tee which reads" I'm a dynamic kid with strong moral values and a passsion for learning" The logo reads " Learning Vision, where learning is a joyful experience"
Think about it.... using such strong expression on a 4-yr kiddo, how can his everyday learning be a joyful experience?

The Importance of Bananas
You'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90 minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit.
It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin inthe blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perf ect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert..
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives,
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and,with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6 and B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them,help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat,sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal ofMedicine,"eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death b y strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.
So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!
PPS: Suddenly I feel like a dietician....

I didn't realize how bad was the bruise on my left leg until everyone have been asking me the same old question over and over again. They must be wondering what sadistic things I've been doing to myself. (nope! Not into that)
I've been hiding it well until i decided to wear a skirt to work on Monday (forgotten to iron my pants and forgotten I've got a new 'tattoo' ) The whole time, everyone have been STARING at my bruise! How sad! Coz it wasn't my legs that they admiring,...
Dun worry, the bruise wasn't caused my wakeboarding.... all thanks to my drunken gf when we went partying 2wks ago. Was helping her down the stairs when she pushed me away, me lost my balance (I was in heels again), sat on the steps and my leg hitting the edge of the steps. Drama drama drama. I feel like giving her two tight slaps.
Linda has been very helpful to take pix for me so that I can 'share' with everyone.
The bruise, measuring the diameter of my fist (that���s about 8cm) has been changing from
1) Dark purple and mixture of green plus a big fat lump of height 1cm to
2) Dark red with mixture of green plus lump of 0.3cm to
3) Dark green to
4) Yellowish green with mixture of redness on the side to
5) Red (current)
6) Yellowish (in times to come)
Yeah, I'm descriptive....
Disgusting....

I'm not a LESBIAN, dumbass!
Why is your hair getting shorter and shorter, Clariss? Are you turning butch or lesbo? Oh! Come on~ Spare me!
Its has been a million time of being asked why I cut my hair short that I decided to blog and archive it!
First of all, I'm not a lesbian! 100% pure straight girl who simply adore guys and I don't have sex / make out with girls. Ok, I admit I kissed a girl before! But its only mouth to mouth and no passionate French kiss. Plus I'm on a dare so that doesn't really count.
Turning Butch? I don't think I can take the stress/pain/pressure of binding my B-cup! (Dun laugh or doubt! I might not look like but I'm really a B and that's without wonderbra or push up bra!)
Wow! You are damn brave! You mean you actually cut your waist length hair to this SHORT? Yes! And get a life! At least I'm adventurous and game enough to try new things. Something, which suit my personality and not blindly follow the trend and sport something that's totally not me.
But��� It's such a pity! You took quite a while to keep till this length.... Wrong! I'm blessed! (Or so to speak) My healthy hair grows fast, and I mean really fast. Thus Murphy, a.k.a the man behind the scene who chops off my silky long hair, is always excited when I call in for an appointment. FYI he charge pretty steep for a haircut. And since my healthy hair grows that fast, I've to go back to him every 6 ��� 8 weeks. He never fail to give me a new and refreshing new hairdo and the catch here is it suits my face shape.
So what exactly is wrong with girls sporting really short hair?! Where everyone else is crazy over ugly, ironed, no volume, FLAT straight hair, I loved mine short, neat and tidy. Sometimes if I'm in the mood, it can be spiky and funky, or if I need to impress the mum, it will be neat and tidy girl-girl look.
Mind you, short hair has many advantages (well at least for me). First, you save money on hair product like shampoo, conditioner, and treatment cream. If you need to highlight / dye your hair, its much cheaper. You use lesser water so environmental friendly. Your hair takes a shorter time to dry thus saving time. Mostly towel dry will do the job, which again you save electricity. You seldom get bad hair day, as hair wax will take care of it. You get to experiment, which will surprises you with different hairdo each time. On lazy days where I wish to do nothing to it, it's always my trusty baseball cap. In humid lion city, you feel much fresher and perspire less.
Short hair doesn't mean you can't wear a skirt. I mean I'm blessed with a nice butt and legs (at least they are not five-cent or ten-cent invaded) I think I look sexy in a skirt. Oh you should see me in pants or low cut jeans.
Or if you think, you will drive all the guys away, you are so wrong. Because of my short hair, I stand out from all my girlfriends thus gaining more attention. Since both have short hair, I blend into the male species better. They feel ease talking to me! My hair is definitely a good icebreaker.
Once, a dumbass friend actually asks the stupidest question (with an ah bengz tone) I ever heard. "Oei, your hair so short, later the guy thinks that he making out with a boy how huh?" Look idiot, No. 1 I'm not into casual sex or ONS. Even if I do, the guy would probably think that I look good in short hair if not he wouldn't have gone that far or less make the effort to approach me. No 2 my bf is not blind so he knows the gf has short hair. Moreover if this guy actually decided that I'm not his type because of my appearance, he is missing out the most exciting part of his life. What a loser. Nahz, not welcome here, go get a life!
Look people, short hair doesn't have any shortcoming, in fact, ever since I cut my locks 2 years ago, all the good things have happened to me. Frankly speaking, if you have to ask, which would I prefer, long or short. Putting aside all the pros and cons, I think I look better in short hair. With the long locks, I looked haggard, unattractive and old. Perhaps my natural wave contributes a little.
So, will I consider to keep my locks long again, well not at the moment, I'm happy the way it is now, unless all of a sudden Murphy decide to charge me like $150 for a hair cut, until den I love the way I look now.
Any so, grams, dun worry your grand-daughter does not plan to go through a sex change, you will see me getting married, have kids and live happily ever after....
Its has been a million time of being asked why I cut my hair short that I decided to blog and archive it!
First of all, I'm not a lesbian! 100% pure straight girl who simply adore guys and I don't have sex / make out with girls. Ok, I admit I kissed a girl before! But its only mouth to mouth and no passionate French kiss. Plus I'm on a dare so that doesn't really count.
Turning Butch? I don't think I can take the stress/pain/pressure of binding my B-cup! (Dun laugh or doubt! I might not look like but I'm really a B and that's without wonderbra or push up bra!)
Wow! You are damn brave! You mean you actually cut your waist length hair to this SHORT? Yes! And get a life! At least I'm adventurous and game enough to try new things. Something, which suit my personality and not blindly follow the trend and sport something that's totally not me.
But��� It's such a pity! You took quite a while to keep till this length.... Wrong! I'm blessed! (Or so to speak) My healthy hair grows fast, and I mean really fast. Thus Murphy, a.k.a the man behind the scene who chops off my silky long hair, is always excited when I call in for an appointment. FYI he charge pretty steep for a haircut. And since my healthy hair grows that fast, I've to go back to him every 6 ��� 8 weeks. He never fail to give me a new and refreshing new hairdo and the catch here is it suits my face shape.
So what exactly is wrong with girls sporting really short hair?! Where everyone else is crazy over ugly, ironed, no volume, FLAT straight hair, I loved mine short, neat and tidy. Sometimes if I'm in the mood, it can be spiky and funky, or if I need to impress the mum, it will be neat and tidy girl-girl look.
Mind you, short hair has many advantages (well at least for me). First, you save money on hair product like shampoo, conditioner, and treatment cream. If you need to highlight / dye your hair, its much cheaper. You use lesser water so environmental friendly. Your hair takes a shorter time to dry thus saving time. Mostly towel dry will do the job, which again you save electricity. You seldom get bad hair day, as hair wax will take care of it. You get to experiment, which will surprises you with different hairdo each time. On lazy days where I wish to do nothing to it, it's always my trusty baseball cap. In humid lion city, you feel much fresher and perspire less.

My first wakeboarding experience....
Damn cool... manage to get up on the third time. Vincent, the driver/instructor compliment that it was pretty fast for a 1st timer (Wat can I say, I'm a fast learner). I manage to hold on for a short distant before plunging into the water.... Vin kept saying that I've butt problem - I kept sticking my butt out. Maybe I wanted to seduce those Cheecko Pek fishing at the side. HAHA! Not Funny Dude! I finally got the posture right but I look stiff. Vin kept asking me to smile and look garceful! Hello... How can I look graceful when the the rain is pouring on my face plus I'm trying to balance myself so I need to concentrate. Jason kept laughing at me everytime I plunge into the water but he isn't doing any better, tried to double wake jump but failed badly and got trashing from Vin coz he didn't follow the safety rules. :P
I rested for a while and tried WakeSkate! Wat the hell was that? Basically its the same as Wakeboarding juz that this doesn't have any binding. This was suppose to help my find my balance point. Linda took some pix of me which I dun look cool coz of my weird posture...
So i guess I've found yet another sport
