memory down

My memory is getting bad lately. Yesterday I actually forgotten there was an AC session. When ZY called me to ask me if I was going for the training, I was like: what training?? I cant imagine I actually forgotten all about my AC training!! I ought to be shot.


Yesterday when I got home I realised I have forgotten to pay my card bills. Shite. Im gonna call the customer service and get them to waiver my late charge.


Was supposed to meet R after work yesterday because he wanted to introduce his friend, who is interested to know how to lose weight quickly and healthily to me. And I clean forgotten about that too.


I really cant believe I can actually forget such important things. Maybe R was right. He said: I think your head got too heated up while you were perming your hair. The heat probably killed some of your brain cells. :s


Anyway, will be helping my friend to host some mooncake festival event over the weekend, which will leave me $500 – 600 richer. I wont say its good money, neither would I say its easy money. There are easier ways to earn $$ in my context but I think it is good experience, good exposure and a good chance to know new friends. :)


Seriously I dunno why he will ask me for help since the only time he saw me hosting an event was more than a decade ago, when I was the host for our school concerts. Either I did a damn good job back then that he was deeply impressed and left a damn deep impression in his head, or he is really desperate for talents. :p Anyway I have someone who used to be a host to teach me the ropes. So im very confident I can do a good job. How difficult can it be right? Play some games, talk abit of cock (which is what I am best at) Plus I have training as an amcee and translator as an AC and AI. And plus plus points, I have a loveable, likeable and 人见人爱 face. :) muahahahaha (u may puke If you have eaten)

Was chatting to a friend yesterday about having kids. My view: kids are only fun to play with, but to take care of them is another different story.

friend: how many kids do you want?
me: zero. I have a nephew to play with. Its enough.
me: the only reason that will entice me to have kids is firstly, im curious how my kid will look like... And 2ndly...
fren: wat??
me: good genes should not go to waste. It will be too wasted if my good features are not passed on.
fren: **knocks head on wall** u really jia lat man...


Hahaha :p

starlight cinema

Went to perm my hair ystd. Yap, after years of keeping my hair long and straight, its finally long enough to perm. :D


I had wanted to do big kick ass curls but the stylist says that my hair texture is too fine to hold big curls. Sobs. Anyway, the whole process of perming lasted a good 5 hrs. thank god sis was with me (yep, we permed our hair together yesterday :D) and we can gossip and yak. I fell asleep a couple of times as well and sis was exclaiming: wah, like that also can sleep ah.... With all the curlers on my hair and the steam coming out from the steamers...


The minute my stylist removed the curlers, and I saw my newly permed hair, I said: I miss my straight long hair. Haha. I guess Im not used to seeing myself with curls yet. I’ve had straight hair all my life. Only difference is whether its long or short. The stylist laughed. But after styling and blowing, I begin to think I look quite good with curls. :)


Now I think I look damn good with curls. Kawaii!! Haha. The people who has seen me in my new hair do says I look pretty as well. **beams** And cant stop twirling my hair with my finger. Keke. My stylist says I need to take care of my perm else it will straighten very soon because my hair was bleached and curls don’t work well on bleached hair. Anywayz, my hair is not done yet. Am going back this Sunday to do colour and treatment.


After we were done with our hair, we headed down to padang to catch the starlight cinema. Sis won the tics from a contest and max couldn’t make it, so I tan dio lo... :p the pass says that we have to reach and be seated by 7.30. The movie will start screening at 8. By the time we were done with our hair, it was already 7. No time to eat but my stomach is growling. So we hurriedly went to the supermart, grab some snacks and made our way to citihall.


We reached padang at about 7.45. Big mistake. We should have went to take our dinner or buy something more filling to our stomachs than just a pack of nachos and a choco chips n nuts biscuits. We waited and waited and waited and waited and finished our nachos, and finished our biscuits but the event has not started yet. They finally played some commercials at 8 and only at 8.30, did the show started screening. By that time I was quite hungry already. :s went to the “food village” where they have a “wide variety of food” (as the organizers put it) to scout for food and sadly, their wide variety only includes:

Hotdog
Chicken burger
Beef burger
Tuna sandwich
Chicken teriyaki sandwich
Chicken wings
Pop corns
Nachos
Beer


Seriously the variety was so huge that I had a hard time deciding what I should eat... Nachos or pop corns (since these are the only things sis and I can eat) and finally decided on neither one.


We watched America Dreamz, starring Hugh Grant, Mandy Moore... Hugh Grant is so charismatic. I like charismatic man and I realise that the thing that makes a man charming and charismatic, other than their wit, is their eyes. Eyes that can sparkle and talk, and top them off with a killer smile. Awwwwww... It was a nice show. I enjoyed the movie. The best movie I’ve watched lately. :)


Ive been to one starlight cinema at fort canning years ago with my nana sisters. I actually prefer fort canning to padang. Padang is too bright. There are too many illuminated buildings with bright lights around. The atmosphere and ambience at fort canning is better. And the last time I went, before the movie starts screening, they have some local bands performing and also Kumar to do a talk show. So the waiting was not so boring. But yesterday there was no entertainment at all during the waiting time. We just have to keep ourselves entertained.


But overall its not too bad. It would be better if we brought more food and also a mat along. But the weather was good. Not too warm. The sky looks like it was going to rain initially but thank god it didn’t. But one thing though, the sky is hazy and we can smell smoke in the air. I think somewhere some part of indo is burning again.

at times like this

at times like this i feel like kicking myself in the butt... im too smart for my own good??


thing is... i wanted it so much, i cant help myself but screwed up in the end...


i hate times like this...

gym bitches

Went for combat class with QQ on sat and Sunday. Its been such a a long time since we went gym together. The moment I saw her at the studio, I found a place beside her and our gossiping begins. Muahaha. Yes, we can gossip right smack in the middle of the combat class!! Every time I go gym with her, I will create bad karma cause we will start gossiping. :p


After the class, we decided to hit the cardio machines. And it was a 45 min non stop gossip catching up session again. QQ actually wanted to do some serious running. But because we wont be able chat if she ran, she ended up doing a 45 mins walk on the thread mill. Keke. We yakked so much that R came over and ask us why can we still talk while we are doing cardio exercises?? Hiaks... ;)


Anyway, the combat class on suday was damn good and fun. The class was very spontaneous. I love doing combat in a spontaneous class. As it was the last class of the day, the instructor did more tracks than usual and we did about 90mins of pure combat. Woohoo.


I sweated so much that by the end of the class, when I’ve cooled off, I found fine small white grains on my arms. I was wondering what they were till I realised they are actually salt from my own sweat!! I sweated so much that the sweat evaporates and the salt is left behind. Goodness!!


I contemplated tasting my own body salt but decided against it in the end cos it seems kinda gross. Haha.

Someone dropped me a note saying: you can find me at xxxxxxxx... with the happiest engine around .com

Wah lau. Which is the happiest engine around?? Yahoo?? Msn?? Google?? Anyone can help me decipher??

movie reviews

Movies reviews:

(do not read further if you wanna watch these movies)

Miami Vice

This is the most boring action movie I’ve ever watched. I actually dozed off twice during the show. I don’t usually fall asleep in a show. That was how bad the movie was. The movie looks like it was shot on a really low budget. So bad that they couldn’t afford Gong Li a make up artist. Either that or they are saving up on the cosmetics. Gong Li looked so plain in the movie that I didn’t realise that the woman was actually her till I saw her name at the end of the movie.

The plot was bad too. The ending sucks. The meanest, baddest mafia got away. His ka gia all got killed in a mass shooting. In the end we don’t know how the mafia got info on the police’s activities, which is the objective of what the 2 guys are supposed to investigate initially.

And the intimate scenes are not steamy at all!! The only steam I can see is the steam from the hot shower on both scenes. The scrip writer lack creativity. On both scenes it shows the guy bathing and the lady will push open the door/shower curtain.

The only time where I felt awake and refreshed during the show was the 5 mins that I went to take a toilet break.

Maybe the show is not as bad as I described to be. I probably missed the best parts while I was asleep and when I was in the ladies.



The Banquet

5 mins into the show I was telling my friend: wah lau, this show si beh arty farty leh. And I was begining to regret a little on choosing the show. The show began with a sibeh slow and pai tiah and poetic song. Im sorry but I dunno how to appreciate sia. And I have to suffer the song together with the dance (I dunno how to appreciate as well) more than once throughout the show.

Zhang Ziyi’s make up look hideous at times. White foundation, blood red lipstick and red eye shadow. Is that the ‘in’ look way back in ancient China? If yes, then sadako is born at the wrong time. They would have branded her as a chio bu and not a 怪胎.

The bloody scenes are too gory for my liking as well. I like to see kung fu and sword fighting. But I don’t like to see how the blood gushes out, how it is splattered on the wall. Probably it is done so to add a touch of artistic feel to the movie but to me I felt that the director just wanna waste some time and film so that the show can last for a good 129 mins.

The pace of the movie is slllllloooooooowwwwww. So super SLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW that I was checking my watch to check if the show is ending. The only indication I have that the show is ending was when the first main character (Qing Nu) died.

Lastly, I after finishing the whole show, I still have a big question mark in my head:

So who killed Zhang Ziyi??
Some momo hiding in the pond??

**

moral of the story: do not to watch a movie for the sake of watching. Its an utter waste of time and money. I rather spend the 1 hr + doing something more constructive.
