Inspirations from Bloodcast. Banner by The Fading Night
Anyway, we had our dinner at Delifrance, and we both ordered some french (oh duh its french) sounding baked rice and it was really nice, though the taste was more asian than french it still suits my taste better. And so we just caught up with the latest happenings about each other, laughing at each other's ridiculous stories (like how "hum" is processed by soaking it in chicken's stools to force it to vomit sand out.) I later saw a couple going down the escalator kissing and the guy had his hand clutching on his gf's boob WAHAHAHAHAHAH. Anyway conversations with Huiling almost always include stomach clutching laughters. We left the place at 10pm, and I took 965 home.
To you guys, 965 is just another bus service. To me though, it might sound really drama and all but the bus ride really brings back lots of memories. Its a bus that takes me back home during my secondary school years. Just being in it and goin through the routes brings me back to days whereby we had to run 2.4km outside the school, the way we took when we go to Kim Mooi's house, the road whereby sometimes Angeline, Lei Shi and I would run madly down to catch the bus, and of course, the school compounds. The flight of stairs I had to climb up everyday, the noisy canteen, the different classrooms I was in every year, the science labs and home economics room, everything, scenes flashback randomly across my mind as the bus roared pass my secondary school.
I really liked my secondary school life. Its full of ups and down, I've bullied and been bullied, I've failed and succeeded, I've been casted out and casted people out, I've been the subject of gossips and gossiped about people. And thanks to all these I've had a pretty normal yet interesting time during secondary school. I would like to go back and relive it once again, but sometimes its good enough that I can look back at those memories and go "Ahh my secondary school life had been like that."
And so my 15 minute bus journey continued, and just a few stops before mine, a pair of brothers caught my attention.
*Original conversation in Mandarin
Older Brother: *shaking the younger brother violently* OY WAKE UP LIAO LAR, OUR STOP ALREADY.
Younger Brother: *groggily* uhhh?
Older Brother: WAKE UP LIAO LAR!!! *pulls him out of the seat*
The older brother was holding to a bag of groceries, probably around 15 or 16, while the brother was a rotund 9 to 10 year old bespectacled boy whose eyes were heavy with sleep. I continued to stared at them until they disappeared from my sight when the bus left. But before that, the fierce older brother took his older's brother stuff for him and held his hand as they walked back slowly home.
I felt a pang of guilt at that time. Not ever once did I ever held my brother's hand or took his stuff for him. More importantly the number of times I've took a bus with him cannot even use up the number of fingers on one of my hand. No matter how gruff the older brother may seem to be, he's still better as an older sibling as I am bah, because nothing's as bad as ignoring. Well I suppose it's time for some self-reflection time, and try to stop snapping at my brother everytime I see him.
URGH Wednesday, June 25, 2008 @ 11:44 PM We all know that feelings can't be controlled, but I really dislike the fact that I can't control myself sometimes. I know that its stupid and the consequences that follow through but I still do it. -____- URGH.
沒钱没钱！ Saturday, June 21, 2008 @ 12:54 AM Title says all. The fees all come pouring in at once, and soon money will be flowing out like my bank account just swallowed a bottle of laxatives...I tell you nothing in life is so coincidental when it comes to spending money.
Attachment like that as usual, but this week have to keep looking at pictures that are a bit upsetting for the stomach because I have to do some stuff for some medical event blah blah dunno I not doctor, and my am I glad I am not. They really insist on speaking alien language one leh. I just hope this project chop chop quickly finish (and the next will come. -__-)
I want my pay! I won't spend so much at Kino I promise!
Anyway Wednesday met up with Yi wen, Amanda, 38po, Gabriel & MK at Waraku. I was looking forward to it because we can all sit down at a nice place and talk cock, so I was pretty motivated at work the whole day.
Colleague 1: "Why you today so happy?"
Me: "Eh? Got meh?"
Colleague 2: "She today got date."
If only I got date jiu hao ah! But anyway I kept it ambiguous and just told them I'm meeting my friends later. This time ordered something called Wazen or something. Its nicer than the one I posted a few weeks ago. And the 5 of us ordered the same thing! Only Gabriel extra dunno go order what.
Lalala Yi wen looks a bit shocked~Well anyway...I heard from Huiling that an old secondary friend of ours are getting MARRIED!!! Well she probably won't see this blog but I still want to congratulate her and hope that she and her BF (or should I say husband?) will be together always even after every strand of hair on their heads are white already, and be happy~
Man what am I doing sia. What have I done all these years?! 5 more months to my 20th birthday some more! Really ah when such things happen you tend to think of such stuff, like "Ahh should I really be doing what I'm doing now?", like "Ahh what's my dream really?" such stuff, I guess.
Thursday met up with Huiling, Keng and a friend of theirs. Ahahahah Huiling told me some stuff about our old secondary school maths teacher. Damn funny AHAHAHHAHAHAH AND HEE HOR AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. Causeway point's pasta mania not that bad leh. At least better than the one at Cathay's. But I'll still prefer Cafe Cartel on any day, and I couldn't understand the cashier's English. And she couldn't understand mine. -_-''
Ah I'm feeling very sleepy. Today slept again after my Japanese test. Machiam every week also like that. The only time when I didn't felt sleepy was when I was at Mos Burger. After Amanda left Li Ying and I played a ridiculous game, where by we had to think up of a word after the last word of what the previous player said. I remember 38 had to continue from 錢, and then she said something like:
“钱来滚滚” AAHAHHAAHHA I thought that something was super wrong with the sentence, then I remembered that it's 財源滾滾. Wahahahahha somemore she say until so confident. That part then funny ah.
Wah really damn sleepy. Good morning everyone.
Why I still prefer public transport. Tuesday, June 17, 2008 @ 9:30 PM Yes why. Other than it being cheaper than driving a car, the bigger reason would be that you can never see the drama you get from weird commuters. Well today is one of those rare days whereby I actually am not deep in my reading or my Japanese homework or studying for my weekly kanji test. That's because I have a pile of overdue library books waiting to be returned, and so I could only stand and stare at the people lor.
Well anyway as usual I boarded the train at City Hall, and at around Dhoby Ghaut or something this couple got my attention. A pimply guy with a runny nose and spoke in with a lisp was kissing his girlfriend on the cheek. Well public affection doesn't really irritate me (if fact it turns me on HAHAHAHAHAHA) and I don't really stare at couples who do it either, but he was kissing her very loudly with all the smooching and smacking sound. Tsk. I had to try hard not to roll my eyes at him. Well anyway his girlfriend was playing some games on a handphone and I suppose he's trying to distract her from the game.
Well the usual 打情罵悄 ensued. Like the guy hugging(OR SHALL I SAY HUMPING) the girlfriend, tickling the girl everywhere, sucking on the girl's arm like a 大便魚 when suddenly he DUG HIS FINGER INTO HIS GF'S PANTS. I could feel my eyeballs turning 180 degrees into the back of my head. The angmoh in front of me look a bit buay tong also. And the thing is, HIS GIRLFRIEND IS PRETTY ONE LOR! I tell you ah, any guy who see this will want to box that guy. I suppose I look like those old women that goes "My god the young people nowadays ah..."
Well anyway, after this couple alighted at Yishun I started looking around at other guys, trying to convince myself that not all guys are like that la. Then I saw one wah, a bit gay one, when he sit hor, must put his fist under his chin one. His complexion is like, whiter than mine also ah. But it's his face that made him look gay la. He has got a girlfriend one. Well anyway I adverted my attention to another group of young secondary boys, a bit ah beng la, but I suppose you can call them "good-looking". My attention slowly moved to this other guy, who looks gay also, staring intently at the ah beng group. He was seated down, legs crossed and a white handbag with a red heart shaped keyring resting on his lap. He had his fist resting on his chin and he was preening like a girl. A bit yucks sia. I kept looking back and forth at the two parties to see if the ah beng group noticed the guy staring so intently at them.
I couldn't stay long to find out though, because it was my stop and I had to alight. When I went down the stairs, I noticed the gay looking guy in front of me, WITH A GIRLFRIEND! Is it just me or am I one of those old fashioned girls who wouldn't like a guy who looks like a girl?
And so I thought about this all the way to the Regional Library when I was stopped by this guy who promoting insurance.
Man: "Hello! May I take some of your time to ask you some questions?"
Me: (Thinking: Ge pi ah confirm ask me want buy something or not one lor) "Yeah sure". =)
Man: "I was just wondering if you do any savings, like how much you set aside a month?"
Me: "Uhh yah, but I don't save regularly."
Man: "Oh! Which branch is that?"
Me: "Er.." *points to the UOB bank behind* "with UOB"
Man: "Oh! Hahahah~ I see, just behind. So are you working now?"
Me: *hesitates a little* "I'm having attachment."
Man: "So that means you're a student."
Me: "Yah right."
Man: "Oh so which school are you attending?"
Me: "NYP"
Man: "Which course?"
Me: "Design. Digital Media Design"
Man: "Ohh I see, so are you aware of how much the bank offers interest yearly?"
Me: "Uhh...I know, very little."
And so there goes, the usual insurance agent talk. Well anyway I don't have $200 monthly to set aside as savings so I rejected him. But anyway he still asked for my name and contact so he could call me if there's any new updates whatsits. I asked for his namecard instead, and again with his mirthless laugh he told me he didn't bring his namecard along. What sia don't trust that I am interested and don't want to waste namecard on me right. I mean professionally always be prepared to give a namecard to people even if they have like 0.0000001% of becoming your client. And so I gave him a fake number ba. Who knows later he sell my info and I get all the junk smses how.
I think insurance agents are very sad people. They wear masks all day, people dart away like avoiding a sudden downpour upon sighting them, and they get cheated by people like me, but its hard not to suspect people la, especially insurance agents.
爽！ @ 12:43 AM Not shuang from 9-6 though. I was having a headache and my eyes felt so dry and sore I had to force myself to yawn all the time to keep my eyes wet enough. Today did quite a lot of things ah...vet through documents, buy light bulbs (and even went back and forth because the shop kept giving me the wrong colour. -__-) Edit some stuff, do sketches of logos for a new branding project...well it went by really quickly though. And before I knew it. It was end of the day.
End of work day. Under Gabriel's nagging last week, I went down back for training today. My god how many times I felt like going straight home, but my hand sort of picked up my bogu bag on its own accord, and my stomach was churning the whole time I was on the MRT ride. I couldn't even concentrate on the novel that I was reading. On my way to NYP I kept repeating "Nothing to be afraid of. Nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be afraid of" like a hundred times. I didn't even know what I was afraid of.
And so I dragged myself all the way to the club room, then past the gym (woah the smell there was horrible. Worse than the kendo smell), and into the changing room. I felt a bit lonely at that time ah, changing into my gi and hakama. I sat down on the bench to calm myself down again. I just kept thinking, Amanda, Li Ying and Yi wen will be there. It'll be fine. They'll be there to help me. It'll be fine. And so I entered our dojo and first saw Nasu and Amanda there. Somehow I felt rather calm after seeing them. Well I did a bit of a warm up, then asked for Suresh's permission to join training. Dunno why but I got a bit emotional when I asked for his permission. My face was a little cramped and I just kept smiling in an uneasy way.
The juniors were training for their first grading ah, I didn't really want to correct their hitting and everything, because I knew I was rusty and would probably show them the wrong thing, but I still wanted to help with whatever I can ba.
After that jigeiko with Li Ying first, very shuang. Li Ying become more serious liao ah, and quite offensive also, can feel a bit of a threatening aura around her. And when I fought with her I felt motivated to put in my 100%. But 100% until a bit too much and 10 minutes into keiko I a bit seh liao.
After Li Ying was Amanda. Amanda, still is like that. Steady steady one. Difficult to hit. But the keiko was fun, because Amanda is a bit trickier than Li ying.
But coming back, the smell, the people, the sounds, everything, really refreshed me from a tiring day's work. Eating dinner, talking cock, feels damn shiok. I remember feeling a rather sudden surge of affection for Li Ying and Amanda during dinner just now, and I just grabbed onto their arms and shook them. Aahahah crazy I know.
After this is the second step ba. I hope this feeling latches onto me till the next week.
OMG なつかしいすぎー！ Sunday, June 15, 2008 @ 11:10 PM OMG OMG I FINALLY FOUND THE NAME OF THE SHOW THAT I WANTED TO FIND TODAY!!!!
TAKESHI'S CASTLE!! Hahahaha I remember watching it every sunday morning on channel 8. You might not remember the name but the show has got lots of ridiculous challenges for participants. The Japanese are really geniuses when it comes to crazy stuff. But honestly, you can see how much they put in just to win, not afraid at all of looking stupid. If you were to put me there I'd be so busy trying not to embarrass myself in front of the camera.
啊真是讓人懷戀死我了。好樣是叫勇士塔takeshi城還是什的。。
Hahahaha!!!!
真的叫人壞戀死了！
くたばれよ，エロジジー！！ Saturday, June 14, 2008 @ 8:31 PM The third week of my attachment went by in such a flurry, chionging logos, posters, flyers, flash banners, this and that and before I knew it its S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y!!!!
But still got 9 more weeks to go ahhhhh, so no life man. orz I want my holidays.
One more MRT incident today. I specially took the train from Orchard to Marina Bay and back to Jurong East so that I can get a seat and read my book in peace. OR SO I THOUGHT.
Well anyway I was sitting on the left of the double seats of the cabin when this skinny guy came to sit beside me. I don't know how old he was because I didn't see his face, but he seems to be in his thirties? Anyway I was happily reading my book when he sat in a way that his thighs touched mine. I moved away a little, so that there was a gap in between us. Well call me sensitive but his thigh came again, and he kept fidgeting so his thigh was rubbing against mine. I started to get kind of uncomfortable and started to fidget as well. But I still touched him, so I stayed put and sort of curled up. And still his blardy thigh came, but I ignored it and thought that he probably needed some ventilation down there and I continued to read my book.
And then it came again, the rubbing. And so I switched on my "seme" mode, glaring at him occasionally, but all I saw was a tattooed arm (well that uncle is pretty tall I guess). I seriously entertained the thought of smashing his head into the cabin wall if he continued to do that, but it seems that my seme is pretty useless because he still had his thigh stuck onto mine. Good thing I didn't wear shorts on that day. Well I got pretty pissed off and slammed my book shut then stood up suddenly at the Toa Payoh stop. I felt like turning around to throw him the dirtiest look I can muster, but of course I didn't la. An uncle standing in front of me stared at me for sometime. I think my face sort of surprised him (I didn't know I was frowning during that time) and wondered what made me so pissed off. The guy also stood up after I stood up some time later, 他媽的。
Whether that guy is a sick perv or what not, I don't like strangers getting too close to me, and male strangers pisses me off more. Usually you don't go close to people you don't know right.
What about you guys, ever got a touchy-feely incident? Do tell me! =)
Thinking back about this week, I watched Kung Fu Panda on Thursday with 0603! Very funny sia. The animation is SUPERB, the stunts are stuff that even shaolin monks can't do kay. Its been sometime I last met up with the 0603 guys, and I don't know whether its an attachment thing but I had a weird weird feeling. Don't know, like some kind of detachment from them...uh. (no pun intended).
Tuesday met up with Gabriel to help him in buying some materials. I don't really do modeling but I thought I could help him in buying something quickly, because he's so stingy. This one don't want that one don't want (At least that's the image he gives me).
Anyway after buying the stuff we went for dinner together at Tonkichi and talked cock for some time, kendo and other whatsits. Really lar, Gabriel is really such a nagger. I don't like to say this, but if you are reading this ah Gabriel, thank you for your nagging.
自分への挑戦！！！ Wednesday, June 11, 2008 @ 11:01 PM 啊啊。。。就是這樣。
Recently brain very dull. Monday, June 9, 2008 @ 11:28 PM Met up with 38-po and Amanda for dinner at Somserset @ Waraku. Nice ambience, especially with friends. 38-po on that day dressed in a different way sia. Shit man never took a photo. -_- Because she wore long pants OMGSORARE RIGHT.
What I had. Looks nice but not as nice as I thought. The broth was a little too thick and very very salty. -_- The serving was really generous as well. One scallop, one prawn, one slice of charsiew. NICEEEE.
Li Ying's meal. Think it should taste better than mine. Well the grass always looks greener on the other side bleh.
Did get to take Panda's share. Her's look nice, but its like you'll get sick of the taste real soon because its all cream + cheese. Too thick.
We went Kino after that. 38po look at stuff SUUUUPER SLOW one leh. I described to Amanda that going to asian books section was like sun wu kong go west take script sia.
Anyway I did something bad.
Today as usual went to work. Today could be quite relaxed when suddenly my boss came to me at 5 and he was like:
Boss: "Hey Christie (he still calls me that even though I told him it was Christine. -_-)" sketch out logos for this XXX company. I need to present to them later."
Me: (Kao man I just asked HY out to watch Kung Fu Panda and now this?!?!?!?111) "Uhh okay. Sketch only right?"
Boss: "Yah. You look at the brochure here about their company. They do XXXX"
Me: "Oh okay." *starts cracking*
So he came and look at our sketches at 6, then told us to digitised it and I was like "WHA YOU JOKING RIGHT?!?!?" Then he (jokingly) threatened me that he will ask my OIC to dock points off me. T_T
And so we chiong a bit, then I cancelled my meet with HY. A bit sad la, but bo bian. But the boss after that treated (albeit forcefully ahahaha) the other intern and I to a nice dinner. The boss is nice la. The people there also nice. I like design also, but I don't want to design for others without anything of me in the design. Don't get it ya? I can't really get it as well. Its all design, but why so different? I've got no idea.
Yawn Saturday, June 7, 2008 @ 12:40 AM
Attachment tiring sia, I see my colleagues they also like damn sian when they have to work on projects. -__- And I have to take MRT everyday from Admiralty till Lavender, see all the -____- faces on the MRT, complete with smells of the first fart of the day and bad breath. Sometimes when I am free to stare at people around me, I would think of what these people are working for. For money? To make ends meet? I don't suppose they look like they enjoy their work, for their shagged faces betray their smart outfits they wear to work.
Its usually one of these times when I would tell myself, "Damn I don't ever want to be like them and waste the rest of my life working in a job that I don't remotely like." But I think as young people a lot of us would think this way, because we're still young and inexperienced and whatnot. When we enter the working society, I guess a lot of us with our youthful dreams and enthusiasm would get worn away by this boring world.
Sometimes I REALLY don't get why people want to work so hard. They set up business and earn lots of money, entertain clients, work until so late, fall sick, get drunk, wear mask. Its like some kind of big twisted masak masak game out there in the working world. No meaning one leh really. I know we must earn money in order to survive ah, but really la, at least for me, I just want to gain as much experience about life, good and bad, see the world, and be with my family and friends before I die.
Dunno why today so goddamned tired. As usual I did my test in my Japanese class, and when I got back my results I had got so many crosses. -_______- And when I checked my answers I swear that they were mistakes that I won't make if I was in a clearer state of mind. After the test I just plopped my head onto the table and slept.
After lesson again go meet up with kendo friends. Today a bit chiong ah, must eat fast fast, cannot really talk, but I still like to see them and feel the atmosphere la, makes you feel like a human. Its really an antidote from the everyday tiring routine I have to go through.
10 MORE WEEKS! SO GODDAMNED LONG BEFORE VACATION.
Yay~ Sunday, June 1, 2008 @ 12:57 AM My day began in a not so yay fashion, because I specially went down to Orchard for my Japanese classes even though I didn't really feel like going, and when I reached there, I felt it odd that the lights were off for the room as the previous class would always be there, then perhaps I thought that the particular didn't have classes today. So I waited till around 2.35pm, and I thought that something was amiss because my teacher would NEVER be late. So I went to the reception and approached the lady there.
Me(albeit in a goofy way): Uh hello, are there classes today? I mean for the advanced class.
Lady: Uhhh...under Mizusaki sensei?
Me: Uhhhh...yah.
Lady: Oh Mizusaki sensei is on MC today. Did you not receive the SMS?
Me: Er.........no I didn't.
Lady: *looks at colleague in an "oh shit" way* Can we check your number with you?
Me: Yah sure.
Lady: Name?
Me: Christine.
Lady: Christine....*finger starts scanning down the list* Is it *******7?
Me: Uh...is 1!
Lady: *looks blur*
Me: *******1
Lady: Oh. *makes changes*
Me: Thank you, bye bye.
Lady: Thank you, bye bye.
Wahhh never say sorry for causing the trouble or whatever lehhhhhh...so I a bit pek chek and immediately called Li Ying, but she never pick up my call! But after that she replied to my sms. So I jio her to go out, and in the end we went down to vivocity, though she only could meet me at 5(but she still was late in the end! SO MUCH FOR PROMISING! V_V) And I spent like 60 dollars wondering around orchard road to kill time. T_T
Well anyway we met up at around 5.30pm at Harbourfront MRT. We went to find MK first, then walked around a bit to wait for Gabriel to come and meet us. We went up to the garden there, and there were shallow pools. There were many children frolicking around in the water. And I felt an urge to join them.
Li Ying: "Want to go down to the water?"
Me: "Yah sure!"
Li Ying: "Sure not..."
Me: "Yah!"
And so we took off our shoes and when down to the water. The floor of the pool was a little uncomfortable (because it was gritty), but it felt kind of good to soak my feet and trudge around in water. Li Ying took out her phone and suggested we take a photo of each other.
And a picture of the (a bit too late) sunset.
After this we went to Daiso and I brought quite a lot of (rubbish) stuff. I love Daiso, looking at the stuff just makes you so happy, but I was feeling hungry and Gabriel arrived liao, so we left a little earlier than usual.
So we met up with the guys, and a girl *ahem* =) MK looked smart in his work clothes ah, but his chipped tooth and ear stud a bit spoiler, ahahahaaaaa. Gabriel brought his heheheh along. A bit pai seh la, we keep talking about kendo in front of his heheheh. A bit spoiler. But I can't go like "HEY WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT GABRIEL MAN?! HE LIKES SPONGEBOB!"
But anyway, we shared stories and talked cock during and after dinner at Secret Recipe (dunno why the cake wasn't as good as last time), then Gabriel left with his heheheh earlier. MK, Li Ying and I started talking about a lot of things ah. Like when we wanted to get married and have kids, how is our "ideal" way of dying, how our funerals should be held, about good friends and other stuff. Its always good talking to them. Words just come out effortlessly out of our mouths and the waiter even had to chase us out of place. Sometimes I think that these are the times that motivates me to go on, spending time eating dinner with friends, getting nagged by my mum, talking to my sister, scolding my brother, spending time with my dad, its all that motivates me to go on with life eh. If I don't have them around I can just die man.
