Egyptian nite!
Just checking in from Cairo, land of pyramids and eygptian mummies; Cleopatra; sand, sun and noisy carhorns. Oh, note to self, no sale of alcoholic beverages on Fridays coz it's holy day, so friday nite was spent quietly playing scrabble with my teamgal kellin in our room. Hur hur hur. She's prolly about the only one that I bunk in with during our teamflights, and this is our last team flight so... kinda have to treasure every moment we have coz you never know what will happen 24hrs from now. Take for example.... MY DEAREST DARLING ELISSA AND NORMIE ARE HAPPILY ENGAGED RIGHT THIS VERY er... NITE!! I'm super happy for them and really wished I could have been there to share that happy moment with the entire gang. DAMMIT. I missed the party of the yr!! Quite literallty since we haven't really had a nice group gathering since god knows when. It was so heartwarming though when I got the call and spoke to dearie lissy... apparently she CRIED, not teared, when normie popped the qns. Well.. was super happy that I kinda teared too. Hopeless romantic shithead I am. With all the shit that's happened over the last coupla yrs, I'm pretty glad I'm not TOO jaded. That or I just can't quite be bothered with feeling pain anymore that all pain becomes normal, and everything else becomes all nice and pretty and happy. But I digress... this ain't about me...Anywayz, I'm just REALLY happy for the couple and wish them all the best. NOW.. WHO'S NEXT?? Damn... as gracia and I concluded, lissy's the only one's on the right track and timeline. SIGH SIGH SIGH... It's ok lah. When it happens, it happens. Not, then not lah... Pain, of course you'll experience. But honestly there's also happiness, craziness, being wild, dancing along grocery aisle, silly name calling doing silly things and all that shit lah so that pain, in comparison with the other stuff, is prolly worth it. (This coming from someone who use to rely on alcohol to sleep.. ha! easier said than done hor? hur hur hur)Hokay hokay... This is my last team flight and I'm so gonna miss the crazy ass times we had. From meeting each other for the first time and not knowing shit about each other, to meeting up right after we touch down from flight just to go for a drink or two; from staying up late, teasing the guys who unwittingly drink with us.. haha.. drinking and chatting into the wee hours of the morning when we're overseas, cooking every single meal, to being each other's jie mei and planning each other's hen night. we've sure come a long way in this lil 1.6yrs. ahhh... Feeling all nostalgic now. At least we'll still meet up every 3 mths (crosses fingers) . I'll miss you babes, sluts and bitches!! Which reminds me... why on earth am I here when I should be chatting with them?? Alrighty... time to go!! Cheerios!
Everything changes
WOW... So many things have been happening since the last time I logged that I'm just trying to catch up! Well, just all the job switches that the gals are making are already making me a little confused. Seems like almost ALL the gals have jumped ship!! But I'm super happy for them. It's a new job, a new chapter in their lives that all working adults have to face. Cheers to that! *clink*Char and aly will be coming back end of this year... yippie!! Back to reality actually my dears, but I'm sure things will work out fine with new jobs and all. Life will be different, but that's what life's all about yea?Some of my friends are embarking on the knot tying business next year... and judging from my recent girly outing with the.. girls.. hur hur... we're talking about who's getting married next, having kids next, blah blah... it's a coming of age sign. Very soon we'll be planning bridal showers and baby showers. And, where on earth do I stand in the mist of all this shebang?? I am trying not to break too many hearts, trying to figure out, actually I already know, er.. aiyah... but then again, who I wanna sleep with and hug for the rest of my life. It ain't too soon to think about it lah.. Is it? Should I just let go and see how things go with whoever? I mean... no point forcing anyone into anything or rushing into anything and end up fucking up and regretting rite? But... wait? Then? Aiyah... nevermind lah... that'll be for another day. Am leaving for dubai then cairo this week. Will be missing the party of the year but Hooo wellll... My heart will be in SG!!!! muahaha!! My team's gonna be split up coz of the freaking Airbus 380. Training should be starting soon and it's our last flight as a team... I'm SO gonna miss them. Shit... yep.. well, here's another change and another start to a new chapter.To embracing all things new in our lives!! *clink*
Thank you for smoking
As we all know by now, the dumbass regulation about smoking only within yellow boxes or permitted area has been implemented. It hasn't gotten on my nerves yet prolly only because I've been successful in locating suitable places. Oh, maybe also because half the time I'm not in Singapore, hence stupid rules like this don't apply. Methinks it's just plain stupid to implement something like that especially seperating outdoor areas coz... i mean, it's the freaking outdoors! U mean to say I can walk down orchard road smoking out the entire area but I can't sit down and smoke at that one particular area? Isn't indoor, air-conditioned areas an area for non-smokers to sit? Leave the freaking outdoors to smokers la! It's only fair. And it's not about freedom of choice for non-smokers who feeeel like sitting outside for some fresh air and then complain about ciggie smoke. How about giving smokers the freedom of choice to sit inside when they feeeel like having some air-con??What about businesses that are affected directly, like places for shisha? Erm, won't making the area 50% smoke-free mean cutting business by half? And what's the point of the 50% empty space since most people go there to smoke anywayz...? That's me rambling anywayz...Oh, for those asking me about walas, yes, smoking's been banned from there. Upstairs as well as downstairs. The only area you can take a puff is apparently at the little ally way between walas and tango. :/Hokay, just got back from a movie with the above title. It is really good. It's actually about a tobacco company spokesperson and how he goes about defending his company. I mean, all that he says are actually a bunch of bullshit made to sound really really convincing. And the way he does it is really smooth too. Basically, it's an excellent movie with a really smart, good script. Just one little problem. The shooting and editing of the film is a little.. er.. not as professional. Thought it could have been better. I mean, the jump cuts were freaking obvious lor! I actually wun mind watching it again. Love the bullshit. So you see, drinking and smoking isn't all that bad, my medical report says so, doctor even says I must be doing something correct. We just dunno what it is. Hur hur hur... Helps you loose weight, and drinking more increases your alcohol tolerance making you less inclined to get drunk and in turn make a fool of urself; spend too much money coz you get sick of trying to get happy high but fail miserably; puke; fall prey to rapists; get taken advantage of... etc... but eh, for the record, I haven't touched alcohol since I got back from paris last thursday (maybe cept for the teeeeny weeeeny bit of red wine I drank in syd). I've got witnesses!!
a late nite chat
There's a nice difference between dating guys when they're 18 and when they're older as I've come to realise. I mean, yes... we ALL know the word maturity but I just noticed it as in... the physical difference of guys actually offering to go order food and drinks, holding the doors open, actually offering to carry stuff blah blah blah... Not that I'm saying girls can't do it themselves. We know we can fully take care of ourselves. It's just that.. well, sometimes, a little chivalry doesn't harm anyone. Skipping topic a bit - Blardy freaking idiot of a guy borrow my hp charger in paris. I lent it to him and didn't chase him for it the following day coz i was out anywayz and my hp batt was still pretty okay. Come check out day, he came down late so I didn't get to ask him for it. Told him to pass it to me after flight. Come end of flight, told me he left it in his cargo bag coz was busy packing. FINE. After clearing customs, my dear fucking idiot friend told me.. i'm so sorry.. think i left it in the hotel, back in fucking paris!!! I'm like, dude! my hp batt's totally fucking empty and I badly need the charger coz it's smaller than most chargers so hard to find spares. Blardy asshole said he'll go buy it and call me in the afternoon to pass it to me. That was fucking 8am on a freaking friday morning. Guess what time is it now and I dun hear no freaking fucking phonecall nor a msg lor!!~!~! (not to mention i lost his no.) but... DAMMMMN U!!! INITIATIVE DUDE!! RESPONSIBILITY DUDE!! Phew! That felt better!! Wish i could say it to his dumb fucking face though. Anywayz... pardon the vulgarities. Just watched superman and it was a lil draggy. Wun spoil the movie though so go watch if u haven't. Had a little game with a friend before watching the show. We asked each other which superpowers we'd wanna have and would we change our minds after watching the show. I chose Jean Grey aka Pheonix. He chose Spiderman. End of the show came and I decided I'd rather just be Superman's girlfriend. I'd rather be the love of the most powerful man in the world. Better than controlling all the powers, I control the man who has the powers and still get a lover! haha... Hokay... time to go koonzzzz... talking to prissy-la-la about relationships and all... It's scary when all ur friends are telling u to settle down... and u see some that are really tying knots... and some that already tied them.. and I'm thinking.. i'm still single!! wtf!!! Oh, and char has now been promoted to wife material.. haha.. i'm dooooomed... ;/
It's youth day today!! yay.
It's youth day today. Woke up to my sis yelling for me to get up for pancakes and I'm like.. isn't it monday today?? What are you doing at home!~? And because it's youth day, my mum decided to give herself a break from work too. Dammit... there goes the smoke break I've been thinking of since I woke up. It's youth day today! I repeat. Shit! To think i was telling, i can't remember who, that gone are the days we had children's day, then it was youth day, now it's labour day! U know what this means?? We're old!!! old old old!!! And i dun even get to freaking have labour day off! Sigh.. who ask us to grow up so quickly? Damn... 1 more yr and I'll be hitting the downward spiral of getting old. This reality is getting a lil too hard to handle. There IS only one thing that's good about getting older. Muahaha... more... you-know-what... no, not more wrinkles. *winkz*It's youth day today! The last time i remember having a proper youth day was... shit.. did youth day ever apply to polytechnic students? If not, then it's sec 4, which means, 16... which means.. 8 yrs ago!! oh man... :OIt's youth day and the first call i get was from starhub asking me to pay bills and advise me on how to cancel my fucking contract. "you gotta bring the cables, box and remote ctrl to starhub and pay bill and we can terminate the contract on the spot". Failure to do so will result in... more payments of course. What better way to make money than to slap some freaking fine on you. Speaking of which, I just, finally paid my hp bills which came up to $800+++ for the last i dunno how many months lah. Shit, this isn't the way to be using money man. It's youth day today and I'm waiting for silly people to call me back or send me my proposal so I can plan a proper wedding. Damn.. all these people need me to breathe down their necks!! Oh yes, kena arrowed to be emcee for my friend's wedding. Ahhh!!!!!!!!!It's youth day today and I'm highly irritated coz I'm being bombarded left, right, up, down, and center with reminders that I ain't part of YOUTH anymore. Maybe it's just the lack of my much thought about break that's making me more irritable. *arrrghhhhh.....*okay, next resolution... 20k by end of the yr!! Sigh.. yet another reminder of impending aging.
