HIV Prevention

found out something VERY interesting recently, with regards to HIV prevention.

take a look at this:

basically i found a postcard with a picture like this and the caption was something about someting romantic and sexual is going to happen between the couple very soon. when you turn behind, it's actually a HIV prevention advertisement... one of the line goes like this : ABSTAIN FROM CASUAL SEX. a friend asked, " do you think it's possible for us to do that? " hahaha! that i have no answer. this is the media reach out to the straight society about HIV prevention, asking us NOT to do this, NOT to do that, DONT do this, DONT do that...

ON THE OTHER HAND...

i was in the same gay bar on another night and that night happened to be a HIV prevention night..and instead of asking them NOT to, the idea that was used to was : USE THE CONDOM. haha! so different...they are not asking the guys not to have safe sex or even to not have sex. the media is asking the gays to have as much sex as you want but please, USE THE CONDOM. on the way out, they even gave us 2 new condoms, a lubricant sample and a card that says that we can go for annoymous HIV checks at some clinics specially for the gays.. i gave them the " do you think i need look " and they gave me the " what the fark is she doing here " look..haha!

well, i dont know but i really find this VERY interesting.. in both cases, the motive is the same, to warn people against HIV but the methods used are totally opposite. in the straight society, we are told NOT to have casual sex while in the gay society, they are told NOT TO NOT have casual sex but use the condom always.. think about it, which is more effective and which is more true? does a condom prevents HIV 100%? if im not wrong, it doesnt. does not having casual sex prevents HIV 100%? well, your faithful partner may not be as faithful as you think he/she is... so what is the best way? what about getting HIV from blood transfusion, contaminated needles or by birth? i dont know why but this really got me thinking.. do people from the 2 societies think different and needs to be administerered differently? why cant the same methods be used to inform people about HIV prevention? mmm...*shrugs*

updates!

havent been writing anything for quite some time.. basically am lazy.. haha! and with all the holidays and christmas shopping that i have to do.. no time lah.. but am soooo glad that it's christmas! not sure why but i think christmas is the only holiday that i spent a lot of money but yet i always look forward to christmas..of course chinese new year is my FAVORITE holiday as i get money... *money money money, it's so funny, in a rich man's world* haha! anyway, let me share what i have been doing in my otherwise rather boring life recently...

(1) Zouk-Out!
yes yes, i went to zouk-out this year..it was a very very last minute thing because my friend from London came and then we wanted to party and it just happened that he was here during the zouk-out weekend and so we went.. BUT we didnt hang out at all, haha! it was sooo huge that we kept messaging each other " WHERE ARE YOU? " i was with another 2 girl friends and 2 guy friends.. basically, it was a normal party..there are soooo many gays with soooo beautiful bodies! and Armin Van Buurn was soooo good! check this out:




the only annoying thing about this party is that friend's friend's girlfriend accused me and my friends of stealing their money! basically my friend and his friends have managed to get a hotel room and we sort of stayed in the room for a while as my friend puked and got a little sick.. and since there's an empty bed, both of us basically were sleeping in that room for only 45 minutes..the next day, when my friend and his friends discovered that their money and one of the girlfriend's wallet was stolen, the retarded girlfriend INSISTED that it was one of us who stole it as we were the last seen strangers leaving the room! what an idiot! there were sooo many random people coming in and out of the room and she might have misplaced her wallet and anything under the sun can happen.. it is THEIR OWN FAULT that they didnt take good care of their belongings..there's a blardy safe in the room and they should have used it.. stupid and arrogant people! on top of being dumb, they were so unfriendly..not a single "hi" from any of them when me and friends went into the room..*bleh* anyway, no one pursue this matter any further. *CASE CLOSED* haha!

(2) Buying Bags!
recently, i have a VERY VERY strong urge to buy for myself this:



but it was tooo expensive.. the one i like is smaller than this and it already cost 4k! sighz too much and im not willing to spend that amount of money on a bag yet..haha but am VERY sure that one fine day, i will be able to afford one of these... so in the end, my mum kinda bought this for me:

quite nice right? hee hee i like it a lot..big and nice...and we bought it in KL, which is a BIG mistake..in KL, we bought it for RM3270 and so it's about SGD1400..my mum and i went into Gucci to take a look and it only cost SGD1320 here! so annoying! but oh well, never mind..actually my mum paid RM2000 and i paid RM1270...so it's almost a gift from my mum...BUT i bought her this as well:

it cost me SGD 1020..actually if you ask me, i thought it's pretty cheap because i always think LV in terms of SGD1500 and above...we went into the LV shop, looked around and almost bought another bag but my mum refused to let go of this bag..so in the end, i bought it for her as a birthday cum christmas present! im quite a fillial girl right? i think if you're a mother, you would love to have me as a daughter right? haha!

3) Malaysia, Truly Asia
went Malaysia with my family for a short weekend trip..quite nice as it's been quite some time since we go out as a family but we DEFINITELY need a BIGGER car..our tiny mitsubishi lancer is sooo tiny that me and my 2 brothers literally squeeze at the back seats! pretty uncomfortable but we aint got a choice..haha! went up to genting to enjoy the cool air and my dad won some money and treat us to a sumptious meal of abalone..went KL and bought the Gucci bag...went Malacca and bought many clothes and went JB to cut my hair...haha! pretty much enjoy myself..feeling rich as everything's dividend by 2..haha!

actually, i lead quite a boring life. oh well, i have to be content with what i have! christmas is coming! yay!

i didnt make it this time!

damn...look at this:

i aim to finish the race under 1 hour..but i took 1 hour 11 mins!! so infuriating!! no improvement from last year at all..and i thought i ran faster this time and i dont feel so tired this time..but then again, i didnt train at all this time..but then again, i want to run under ONE HOUR!! so annoying! anyway,never mind.. next year, i shall either (1) aim to finish 10km under 1 hour or (2) run 21km, the half marathon.. for both cases, i would need to train..but now im more interested in christmas shopping and eating.. haha!

BUT...

i took a whole 5 mins faster than my friend's boyfriend...haha! so happy..but then again, last year i won him as well..so no kick..and besides, he stopped to pee and i didnt..i only stopped to drink once...haha! but never mind, i still took lesser time than him..*grins*

my first and definitely not the last...

last friday..i went clubbing with my gay friend...yes yes finally, he has agreed to bring me along...and it's my FIRST time to a gay club..i was soooooo excited that i kept asking him if there's anything i should do or should not do in the club..and he was basically ignoring me...haha!

anyway, the club is located in Tanjong Pagar and it's called "Play"...or is it "Plaything"? okok...just checked, it's called "Play"...confirmed confirmed...anyway, upon we were quite silly, thinking that it's rather far from where we are...we took a cab..and it went straight down...and then we alighted and walked back...we could have walked for like another 5 more minutes and we would have reached the club...so silly!!!!

upon arrival..my heart started to beat uncontrollabley fast..i have no freaking idea why!! not that i am aroused or excited about the guys..but just that it's my FIRST time...anyway, paid and went in...and oh my god....there were soooooo many guys....everywhere i turned, i saw guys....and not just guys..but some of them were really cuteeee... seriously, i counted...there were only FIVE..yes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 girls in the club that night... and there was on e toilet in the club and it's basically empty...because there are only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 girls! hahaha! actually i felt kinda weird...because there were sooo many guys and they were smiling and having fun...and some of them gave me the " what-the-fuck-are-you-doing-here " look.. and i gave them the " i-dont-know! " look...haha!

basically, we walked for maybe 1 minute and suddenly this very cute guy pulled my friend and forced him to drink... intiallyi felt kinda awkward as no one seemed to notice me..but my friend's friend was really nice..he started to talk to me...took a picture with me and showed me his boyfriend, who is EQUALLY cute...argh! so irritating...all the cute guys are gay!!! anyway, then more friends came and there were guys in every corner of the club...cute ones, tall ones, ugly ones, short ones, fat ones, skinny ones..you named it...they have it!!!! oh by the way, i spotted this guy whom i thought was rather cute and asked my friend to approach him..and then his friend said that he's a radio DJ..haha..no idea who's that though..but he's really quite cute!

then we went to the dance floor...and again, soooo many guys...everywhere!!! and the cute dj that i was mentioning..he smiled at me...but unfortunately, i guess it's just a friendly smile...sighz, that night..so many guys smiled at me and danced with me...but it's kinda different..somehow, i could feel it or maybe it's because i knew i was in a gay club...*shrugs* not important... ooh and i saw a few naked guys and a few kissing guys..hahaha pretty interesting!!

ooh then i spotted 2 of the cutest guy i've ever seen...sooooo cute and they turned out to be Thai...one of them is wearing black and he's soooo pretty, not really my type..the other was wearing white and he's sooo my kind but a little on the small side but oh my god..he's soooooo cute....unfortunately, they were not interested in me in the romantic sense...they treated me like a sister! hahaha....we drank, we danced, we went toilet together and we checked out guys together...hahaha! the white one was sooo cute that another chinese guy was hitting on him and i was sooooooooo darn jealous....

funnily, although it was a gay club, i enjoyed myself tremendously...i have no farking idea why...my gay friend said.." you were like alice in wonderland " hahahaha...i guess it's because everyone's sooo nice to me without an agenda...as in if i were in a normal club and if the guys danced with me..their hands will start to roam..but this will never happen to me with these guys for sure...and that night i only asked 2 questions whenever a guy talked to me... (1) are you a gay or bi? and (2) do you have a boyfriend? haha! that's all i didnt even ask for their names or anything...and to the very cute thai guy who's wearing white..i asked one more question: Can I be your first girlfriend? hahahahahahahahaha...he's sooooooo cute!!!!

ooh...then cellulite texted me asking me if i was clubbing..i replied that i was in a gay club and there were sooo many cute guys..and then she said..." aiyoh so demoralized to be there " and so i texted back..." who cares..it's fun! " and typically, this was her reply: " no potential go for what? " wahahahaha..she FOREVER looking for potential in clubs and bars and pubs... seriously desperate for men? as usual, she's looking for not so guai but not too huai guys...where to find? in GAY bars/clubs loh!! hahaha! *shakes head*

it's so over!

recently, i am the aunt agony for 3 of my guy friends...interestingly, all 3 have unique problems but my advice to them is the same... " life goes on, so get on with your life "....haha! yes, maybe im lazy and insincere..but honestly, what do you expect me to say? to me, relationship problems can only be solved the the creators of the problem..not the bystander because the bystander always see things in a different light...

anyway, for the first friend...basically, it's just a case of him not able to get over his ex-girlfriend...no idea why he loves her so much..and no idea why he always misses her and everything..it's just him and her..he simply cant get over her..maybe because they are really suited for each other except for the fact that she is a time quantity person while he's a time quality person...she wants to spend every single minute of ther life with him but he wants to spend time with his "gay" friends...so that's the main issue...well, i tend to agree with my friend as i think it can get really boring to be stuck to the same person for a long time, no matter how much you love him/her...so am not sure how they are going to resolve this issue but i told my friend this: " you will NEVER get back to her...life goes on, so get on with your life...dont forget her...always remember her and give her a special place in your heart...but you cant just stop because of her..." and he always tell me that i'm right and blah blah..but if i dont remember wrongly, it's been months since he told me he misses her...haha!

then the 2nd friend is sooo in love with his ex...they've only been togther for like 2 months but yet he cannot get over his ex at all...one minute, he's telling me that he's really pissed, the next minute he's telling me that he's angry, the next minute he's sad, the next he misses his ex...it was kinda difficult to deal with as i have no idea what to say but " life goes on, so get on with your life "....haha! and then this friend is kinda funny..he would be telling me about his ex..and the next moment, he would update me that he just hit on a cuite..emotional roller coaster is definitely not the way to get out of a relationship! it hurts your mentally and emotionally..but then again, maybe it's his way of getting out..so all i did was listen...which i think is more than enough... and he better stop whining if not i'm so going to "kill" him...

the final friend is the most dramatic of all...mainly because his ex-gf is quite dramatic to start with but then again, it's way tooo much...she created quite a big thing out of everything and i dont know what to say...but then again, knowing her, i know she would make a big fuss..haha! basically i think my friend's just getting tired of all her dramas and suspicions...maybe she had some bad experiences or whatever..but then again, this is not my problem..just that i get a little sick of hearing the same story again when my friend's talking to me....haha and i know he knows that im bored and had nothing else to say...anyway, i would believe that it's not the other girl's fault although i would say that girl might be the catalyst but well, if the ex-gf is not a pain in the arse, my friend would not have whatever i guess...but then again, this is not exacly my problem...i am only hearing one side of the story and all i can say is " life goes on, so get on with your life "....to both my friend and his ex-gf..

gosh! all these sad stories are giving me depression...hahaha!

i really believe that God is fair..haha

hey.. heard of alibaba.com recentlyon the news? if not..here is a brief sumary:



basically it is an e-commerce company that is part of the alibabagroup and it has its IPO on 11/05/07...well, basically why is this on the news recently...look at this:

okay..people..the launch price was HKD 13.50 on 11/05/07 and on the first day of trading..it went up...no, it shot up to HKD39.50!!!! can you imagine how much money can be made and how rich the CEO, chariman, board of directors, top executives are now? i wish i was part of them....

BUT....

God is really fair...take a look at this:

do you want to look like this? HAHAHA...aw man..i'm soooooo mean...seriously, i think i will suffer from karma...i got a strong feeling that my future husband will DEFINITELY look like this...HAHA! but honestly, if he looks like this and have as much money as this man..i wouldnt mind at all...with that amount of money in the bank accounts...he can go for any form or plastic surgery and whatsoever and i can shop till i drop!!!

so seriously, arent we all cleared that God is fair? *winks*

dont be irresponsible parents

seriously...i dont know why some parents are sooo irresponsible...if you're a parent..please do what a parent ought to and should do...okay..actually i dont know some parents..i only know of 1 pair of parents - my uncle and auntie! hahahaha hontestly they are such irresponsible and selfish parents who only care about THEMSELVES!!

any decent parents will know that when your child is having exams..it is YOUR responsibility to guide and revise with him/her right? well, my uncle and auntie happily "dumped" their primary 4 kid at my house so that we can guide and revise with him!! this is so wrong..firstly, my auntie is a poly grad..she is educated and can do it herself but she rather spent her time in shopping malls and in front of the tv...and it has been agreed that she will come and pick up her child after work but even that she's lazy..on one occassion she asked if any of us can do that for her...so messed up..i mean she DRIVES..and her coming to my house is ON THE WAY back home from her office...it is her OWN FLESH AND BLOOD..why is she soooo irresponsible??? doesnt she care about her son at all???

and yesterday my mum was just telling me the most outrageous news of the season...my cousin is having exams this coming week...instead of staying at home over the weekend to guide their kids..my uncle and auntie is going for a HOLIDAY IN VIETNAM over the weekend..and once again..dumped their kids with my mum...and my mum just had an operation on her middle trigger finger!!! how selfish is that??? and they are leaving today..and told my mum to go over to their house to look after the kids for her despite the fact that my mum told them she had a party to attend..they DID NOT consider the inconveniences they are causing to my mum AT ALL...i totally detest them for this..i mean seriously, this is fuck up! how can they just go for holidays WITHOUT even arranging and confirming that someone is going to help them with their kids? how can they even go in peace when their primary 4 kid is having exams and my cousin's results is bad...seriously bad...what kind of parents are these???!!!! honestly speaking, i despise them for this...

another thing...they can spend 10K plus on an expensive watch but cannot give regular money to my grandmother? they can go shopping and holidays but cannot visit my grandmother once a month? the other uncle, who doesnt drive and lives in the west will visit my grandmother every week regardless of circumstances when my grandmother lives in the east...such a HUGE difference!!! seriously, this is soooo wrong....i have nothing to say..i rest my case...

so people..if you want to have kids...PLEASE be a responsible parent!

thou shalt NOT teleconference!

just as i was complaining that i have nothing to do..i made the BIGGEST blunder ever...and when i mean BIGGEST..i really really mean it....it was the BIGGEST joke as well....haha! here's the story...

basically on friday i was bored and so i turned on my web messenger...and started chatting with an ex-colleague (MT)...then he suggested going out for drink on Friday night and so i was all excited about it and we decided to call another friend (RT)...this is our MSN conversation:

MT: we go sing tonight?
Me: eh sing? can also..why not just drink? ask JM, MP and RT
MT: you girl you call RT
Me: okay you wait ah..i teleconference...
MT: faster..i need to go toilet

so i picked up the phone and called RT..and then i asked him about drinking tonight and he's good..and so i proceeded to teleconference MT in...and i typed " calling now " in our MSN chat...and so i dialed MT's number...

Me: hello M ah..i got R on the other line...wait ah...
Me: okay...R is in...so tonight how?
R: M ah..tonight how ah? go where?
M: huh? who are you?
R: R lah...
Me: ya loh..R lah..dont play already..tonight we go clarke quay okay?
M: who are you?
Me: you M right?
M: ya...what's my surname?
Me: Teo?
M: wrong!
R: eh hannah, i think you call wrong number leh...
Me: is it? no lah...i didnt...M you sure it's not you?
M: fuck lah..i dont have time for this...

and the line went dead....hahahaha! seriously i DIDNT know i called the wrong number..i double -checked my handphone before dialing..but i guess i must have dailed wrongly...hahaha! so i teleconference again..

Me: hello M...is that you?
M: ya...me
Me: you sure?
M: yes lah...
Me: R...i got M already...
R: hello M...you sure you're M?
M: ya lah...why so long? i go pee and come back already leh...

and so R went on to tell M what happen..and they laughed NON-STOP which makes me laugh NON-STOP..hahahaha and then the moment they see a common friend...they start the whole story again..and the NON-STOP laughing begins again...hahaha! see how blur i am....so now whenver i teleconference..i better ensure that i got the correct person!!

bored, restless, help!

okay...im officially bored...so bored...nothing to look forward to..nothing to do...basically NOTHING IS HAPPENING IN MY LIFE...why??!!! i am soooo bored..bored..bored...*YAWN* can someone save me please? please? pretty please? i think i can die of boredom...

although i have "HOUSE" to watch...and i'm only at season 2..tons to catch up..but i dont want to become a couch potato...i have been watching PB3..but again, i dont want to be a couch potato..movies nowadays are boring...i cant keep watching HSM2..everyone's laughing at me..nothing to do...see i have NOTHING to do...

oh well, a dear friend is getting married..but i dont have to do anything..just attend the wedding..haha! another one is getting married in Dec..and she asked me to be her "sister gang" and till then, i have nothing to do..i dont feel like partying..i dont feel like doing anything..but yet i want to do something....RESTLESS...yes..this is the word that describes me best now...sighz..this is bad..i think im pms-ing now!!!

anyway, this sunday, im representing my company in a recruitment fair..which i thought was pretty ironic as i dont feel that much for this company anymore and there i am trying to tell people how great this company is..haha! i mean seriously, i dont see any prospectus for me...no career advancements...pay is normal, not great..nothing excites me at work anymore...i NEED a new job...and hopefully i can get a new one by Jan 07...am praying VERY hard for it...seriously! cannot understand why some of my colleagues can love this company soo much when it's just a piece of crap...my kudos to them anyhow...anyway only certain people can succeed in my company...the WAYANG type! ie be VERY VERY enthu about everything about this company, embrace everything the company implement and kiss the correct arses...in my opinion that is...maybe i should sleep my way up...but oh well, my managers arent exactly good-looking or even sexy or attractive..so i think it' s not a good idea at all....hahaha!

and i dont think getting a boyfriend will help as i dont think men are a good medicine to boredom or restlessness unless you are very good-looking and rich enough to pamper me like nobody's business..haha okay i think i am crapping...see how bored and restless i am...

anyway, i'm hoping for the start of something new... :D

so sad....

recently....the only news that i'm getting are sad news...very sad news...is it true that as you get older,you get more news about death than birth? if it's true...then i'm really afraid of growing old...

well, one of my ex-colleagues just passed away...apparently he's been very sick and had been in the hospital for over a month or so...couldnt save him...heard it's lungs infection...very young man..divorced with a kid..poor kid....

then, my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer and the cancer has already evolved into the 2nd stage... not a benign one...so got to cut off the whole breast...and nope, that did not solve the problem...cancer cells spread to the lymphnotes...and so she has to undergo chemo and blah blah...very sad as her kids are very young..she got married late and her eldest daughter is only 4 years old...now i'm checking my breasts every other day...paranoid!

then brother of another colleague of mine got into a car accident in melbourne...something to do with drunk driving..not her brother but was hit by another driver who is drunk...went into coma..had to undergo brain surgery to take out blood clots...but thank god, he's stable now and is awake..so colleague is relatively happy...

today, aunt of another colleague is dying...colleague recieved a call and it seemed that his auntie may not be able to make it...he rushed off to the hospital and he's nervous as he doesnt want to see hiw mum break down...oh well, everyone will break down if your loved ones is dying...guess this is part and parcel of life..maybe that's why God gives us the ability to cry...so that we can express our grief and happiness...

and today, grandpa of another colleague was admitted to the hospital..suspected kidney stones..not serious but the grandpa is old..80 plus i think..although he said he's worried...but as i typed this..he's happily playing soccer somewhere in singapore...tsk tsk tsk! but oh well, he's really worried when he just got the news..so give him credit for that...

see every story that i've heard lately are sad stories...stories about people falling sick and people dying...seriously, if growing old is so scary..i wish i'm Peter Pan..but then again, i dont want to be Peter Pan..i want to grow old and experience the different stages in life...sighz, humans are so fickle..or maybe i should say...women are so fickle...

oh well, let us all grow old with grace and die with dignity!

gay sidekick!

anyone seen this movie? if not, PLEASE go catch it..it's hilarious and heartwarming...worth the watch definitely! there are moments of laughter and moments of "awwwww".... anyway recently the movies that i'm dying to watch somehow are linked to homosexuality...haha! this one's pretty obvious, "Savage Grace" has something to do with a homosexual's mother trying to "cure" his son and "Me and Myself" talks about a drag queen who lost his memories, fell in love with a girl and gain back his memories..wonder if this is the latest trend to talk about homosexuality...even the Home Section of Straits Times reported that 7 out of 10 Singaporeans will frown at homosexuals...*shrugs*

talking about homosexual..recently i managed to get acquainted with a gay! yay! finally my dream of having a authentic gay friend has come true..he's 500% gay! haha! and he has personally confirmed with me that he is indeed one....and he's a very very interesting person...he has very very feminine habits..such as daily facial regime which includes 10 bottles of creams, he spends 30 minutes daily on his hair, he blots his face regularly, he dresses nicely, he talks about how this guy or that guy look so hot and juicy, blah blah blah..it's amazingly interesting to see such comments coming out of a pretty boy! and he seriously has a boyfriend, whom i accidentally bumped into the other day..haha! and everyday, he would talk secretively and sweetly on his mobile and when i gave him "the look", he would give back the " go away, stop teasing me" look....hahaha! in fact he's soooo vain that i kinda felt slightly ashamed of myself...hahaha! and one thing for sure, he doesnt look at girls as a whole...whenever i asked him " hey, is this girl pretty? " his answer would always be.." her teeth are nice " or " she has nice hair " or " she has nice skin " ...hahahaha! soooo difficult for him to just admire the beauty of girls...oh, and one thing that i've been trying to get him to do is...to teach me how to give a good and satisfying blowjob! but till now, he refused..he only managed to give this advice: Experiment and Explore! HAHA!

anyway, the only comment he has given me thus far.... YOU'RE A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A GAY SIDEKICK! haha! mmmm....am i? what do you think? oh anyway, many ask me to "seduce" him to "convert" to a normal straight guy..but no way, i like him the way he is now... *winks*

thou shalt not be unglam at all times!

i'm soooo pisssed with myself....

on sunday, i met the love of my lifetime..actually..not really..hahaha! basically i bump into this guy whom i had a crush on for the longest time...he's the ONLY guy i had a crush on for almost 2 years and still think that he's so damn hot and juicy that i still yearn to see him now and then...when i found that one of my ex-coworker is his girlfriend..i was soooo excited to see him at our summer party in 2006 and when i saw him...i couldnt believe it but my heart palpitations really got faster...* sighz*

anyway, i was at my granny's house and my cousins were pestering me to bring them to macdonald's..and so i agreed...basically, i was in a pair of shorts and t-shirts, flip-flops, hair pinned up, face all burnt as i just spent 2 hours under the sun swimming...and with 2 screaming kids, i walked to the fast-food restaurant...the moment i stepped in..i caught sight of him...alas, still looking all hot and tasty...but here i was, dressed like an auntie with a kid on either side screaming.." i want apple juice and french fries! "

intially i was hoping that i saw wrongly and that cute guy over there was not who i thought he would be as there were many occasions that i thought i saw him but it wasnt him...and so i stole a few more glances and alas, it was really him...and i was in such an unglam status...at that very moment, i was hoping for my fairy godmother to appear and dressed me up in the latest fashion and all but all i got was more rantings of " i want french fries and apple juice! " from the 2 little rascals sitting close by...and all i could do was to say yes to the rascal and buy whatever they want...

seriously, why must i be soooo unlucky??!!! of all times, why must i only bump into when i'm at my most unglam moment?? what if he thought i was kinda cute and wanted to approach me but then realized that i was married with 2 kids? what if he was laughing at me for getting married and becoming an old hag at such a young age? what if ..... he doesnt even recognize me???!!! * sob sob * although im quite sure he doesnt even know who i am.. whyyyyyyyyyy?????????? so unfair...

so THOU SHALT NOT BE UNGLAM AT ALL TIMES!!!!

Jesus Camp - Fact or Fiction?

watched this movie with a friend last sunday:

it was kinda disturbing to know that there are such christians around and it seemed that Geroge Bush is one of them and blah blah blah...however, i really wonder, is this fact or fiction? i dont know..i mean it's not exactly a movie but a film..and it seems like a documentary..but then again, this can be filmed from a single point of view right? not really sure but seriously, it's kinda eerie...

but on a lighter note, some of the kids are quite cute...they are still very childish in their mannerisms but yet they do show that they really love God but in the scary type of way i guess..and i thought the guy with the tail, whose name is Levi, is kinda cute...and i think he will grow up to be really cute...hahaha!

oh btw, i went to watch this with a guy friend...and when my brother knows about it..he went..." poor guy, so young already disabled..blind to go out with you.." HAHA! what an arsehole..and then after the movie, my brother called me to pick him up and so i did..and then his gf was with him..and the moment i dropped my friend off, his gf shot me with questions: who is he? where is he from? do you like him? does he like you? are you getting it on? are you 2 dating? why dont you like him? etc etc etc...oh my god...cant a girl go out with a guy friend and keep it plutonic? tsk tsk tsk..so narrow-minded...anyhow, nothing's gonna happen..we're just very very good friends... *smilez*

going to watch a play with him soon...maybe another few more movies...but DEFINITELY NO chance of development...so sorry mates if you're looking for romantic comedy..you got to stick to hollywood and not singawood...haha

hola!

beunos dias, como esta? yo estoy muy bien. y tu? como te llamas?

hahaha! yeah, it's spanish...i just took up spanish lessons and last friday was my first lesson...have been wanting to learn a 3rd language for the longest time and finally, i surfed the internet and picked up the phone, paid the amount 315 and viola! i'm learning spanish....

was actually expecting to see a cute spanish teacher who look like this:

unfortunately or maybe fortunately ( so i can really concentrate on the class), my teacher is a female who looks like a chinese but is actually from Peru. when she first walked in....i was like.." what??!! i paid 300 to get a chinese to teach me spanish? she better be good if not i'm so going to scream at the coordinator of the course!!

basically my class is rather huge...around 15 persons..and i must say most of them look like students..college students....and i have a strong hunch that they are from SMU and has plans to go on exchange program to Spain..haha and because of this, i felt really really really old...*sob sob* and i hope they are not too fast learners if not i , this auntie, cannot catch up sia...but thank god, so far so good...

there are 2 very interesting people in m group which i must comment on...

there was this girl...she seemed to be from PRC..when the teacher asked if any of us have any spanish exposure, we all shook our head except for this girl..she said.." oh, i've been learning spanish for the past 6 months as part of my school's ciriculum " so my question is...what the fark are you doing in a basic spanish class? too much time and money? and she does seemed to know basic spanish and she seemd to be able to hold a spanish conversation with my teacher...weird...

then there's this man...he came late and he sat next to me as that's the only available seat left..and when our teacher asked us to practice by speaking to each other..he said this to me..." i'm learning french, italian, a bit of german too..and personally i dont think it's necessary to learn how each individual alphabet sound.. i usually just made notes on how to pronounce certain words...blah blah blah blah " hello???!! did i mention that i was interested to know what you're learning and how you're learning a new language??? and then we were sort of praciting with each other by speaking in the simple spanish that we've learnt...and there as a part that we have to asked each other's telephone number...he told me.." i think we dont have to ask each other number right? " oh my gawd...do i look like i'm even interested in his name? do i look like i am desperate to know him and get his telephone so that we can develop our relationship? do i look so desperate to him? puh-leese, i shown NO SIGNS of interest AT ALL..and to this ridiculous question that he posed to me..i answered.." eh, i think the teacher meant for us to use the nubmer that she has put on the board for us to practice and not asking us to ask each other for our numbers right? " hahaha! he went speechless...seriously, i think he's thinking too much...

am actually quite excited for my next lesson...but need to practice my spanish as my teacher said there's going to be quiz..dont want to be the only auntie who fail the quiz! by the way, i tried practicing to some of my friends and they kept laughing non-stop..guess i do speak with a strange face and accent? HAHA!

give me a break!

seriously, i do not understand why do i always have to faced guys are who either jerks or assholes? from what i can remember, i am always being annoyed by guys ever since i'm in my teens..guys are always making me the butt of their jokes, saying things that they dont think are hurting but yet it hurts and treating me like some piece of crap...

GUYS, GIVE ME A BREAK! I'M A GIRL AFTERALL! CAN YOU GUYS AT LEAST GIVE ME SOME RESPECT?

okay..i'm not exactly pissed..but the other day..this ex-colleague of mine who will soon be my colleague again pisses me off big time...maybe he thinks i'm interested in him and so he can "manipulate" me...maybe he thinks he's really very good-looking and attractive..seriously, i dont know why he harbors such thoughts...when none is true AT ALL!

one Sunday afternoon, this is our exchange of smses:

H: i'm boredM: so? go find your gf H: i'm in potong pasir waiting for her to get ready M: then continue to wait. i'm not at your disposal H: no lah, i'm in potong pasir and you live so near.. M: no, it's not that near..it's a 10 mins drive H: okay la, you can be substitute gf M: haha! very funny..

WTF??? do i look like i want to be? and what's his problem?? seriously get a life...

then the other night...he called me but i didnt pick up as i was having dinner...then this is our exchange of smses:

H: you didnt pick up my call H: call me M: no..i'm watching tv now..
H: call me M: i said no..i'm watching tv... H: fine

*** at this point i got pissed with his rude reply***

M: what is it? i already told you i'm watching tv..and have told you i'm not at your disposal! H: chill okay. got something important to ask. dont worry i wont call or text you anymore. M: if it's so important, you could have texted me about it or just tell me that you have something important to ask and i would have called you. anyhow, whatever bye!

i was sooooo farking pissed!!! what' s his blardy problem? what important stuffs does he want to ask? seriously, he always ask me VERY boliao questions like.." do you think i should marry this gf? ", " do you think i should rent this house? " " do you think i should stay in singapore or go back to canada? " what's his farking problem??? all these are NONE of my concerns...*argh*

anyhow i think he's good riddance for now..haha!

O$P$

sometimes, i dont know why some people are soo not automatic...3 weeks ago, a team leader borrowed 40 bucks from me and another colleague EACH because she didnt have enough cash to pay for somethings which she can claim from the company...i mean logically, she should pay me back as soon as she could right? but she DIDNT! so i reminded her and guess what she said? she said..." yeah didnt forget la, will pay you guys first..the expense would take a while to get approved and reimbursed... " i mean seriously, of course she has to pay us back FIRST!! is she going to wait for that to approve before she can pay me the 40 bucks? come on..this is MY MONEY and now she's taking away my spending power just because her expense is not approved?even if it's not approved..she still has to pay me back the money...what's her problem?? seriously...you can call me stingy....yes i dont care...but please give me back my money!!!

what national day means to me...

it's national day today!! happy birthday singapore!!! hee hee hee...actually am quite ashamed of myself because i feel that i only feel patriotic on 09 August every year..hahaha! but actually, national day has a different meaning for me since young...

Age 1 to Age 6... i cannot remember National Day at all..hahaha! sorry but i guess i must have spent it watching the national parade on tv...

Primary 1 to Primary 6... i can only remember that every year, we would have to make our own Singapore flag and then we would have to wave to the songs (Count on Me, Singapore, Stand up for Singapore, We Are Singapore, One People One Nation One Singapore...oh man, i missed those songs!!!) during National day... and i remembered i always want to be one of the flag wavers on some platform leading the student body..but that dream never come true..haha!

Secondary 1 to Secondary 4...nothing much was remembered here for national day...maybe only the holidays and the celebration that was held in school...and of course the songs singing...did i have to wear red on that day to school? *shrugs* cannot remember....

JC 1 to JC 2...most exciting National Day of my life..i was part of the pre-parade show and was in the cheerleading group...it was very fun and very interesting..we got to practice our routines and the national stadium is like our second home..but we get to know other people from different JCs and the army guys are pretty cool too..haha! one of them even fell in love with my friend..and my friend and i was soo mean to mislead our teacher-in-charge to think that he's interested in her instead...haha!

University Year 1 to Year 3...somehow, during these 3 years..i ALWAYS have free parade tickets..haha! i reckon this is because my JC friends are in army and then my brother was in army and so i always have parade tickets..so all i can remember is spending my time at the stadium, singing "Majulah Singapura" to the flying flag...

Now...national day is just another holiday for me... a holiday which i needed badly...because there's not much holiday from June to October...no more interest in the national parade..no more interest in the new national songs...i thought they sounded really weird...haha!maybe i'm getting old and nostalgic..haha!

oh well...majulah singapura!!!

i lost my harry potter chamber of secrets!!! *argh*

i was trying to find my set of harry potter books this morning because someone wants to borrow..but i CANNOT find my 2nd book!! i searched high and low for it....HOW HOW HOW? so irritating...i'm really very sad now...if i wer to buy a new book, it's way too new, doesnt fit with the rest of my books...sighz..so frustrating!!

anyhow, i think i'm becoming a pedophile..hahaha! *joking* recently, if anyone were to check my internet's history...i've been yahoo-ing a lot of kids...daniel radcliffe, emma watson, zac efron, vannessa hudgens, etc...hahaha! and i lost my High School Musical 1 CD...so irritating...i think i'm going to buy another one and will buy High School Musical 2 CD and DVD too..hahaha!

anyway, i thought this is pretty cool:

Expelliarmus!!

a very nice picture right? but i think it's photoshopped because emma is definitely as tall as daniel...haha!

heh heh..im a HUGE harry potter fan...so huge that i have soo many HP items...i have TWO sets of the books...although the contents are the same but i have the UK and US versions..haha! i have a HP cup, a HP Kite, HP UNO cards, HP coloring books, HP toys, HP VCDs, HP miscellaneous books, HP posters..haha! im sure they will come up with a box set of the HP DVDs and then i'm so going to get it...however, sadly..i've not gotten my last HP book for the UK version...this is because my other books are paperback and i want to wait to make my set really complete..as for the US version, have already asked my colleague who is in USA now to get it for me..cant wait for him to return...

BUT...i have already borrowed the book from a nice colleague and finished the book in less than 24 hours!! hahaha..basically, i think the ending is tooo cheesy and happy..but then again, this is a children's book...wouldnt want kids to be tramatized..but seriously, it's wayyyyy to happy..although many main characters died...but still, it's wayyyy too happy...haha! i dont mind harry not dying..but i dont want him to get married!!! he's not a sex symbol..he's HARRY POTTER - the boy who lived...oops, for those who havent read the book and am cursing me now for telling you the ending...actually, it's not the ending that matter..it's the journey, the stories, the main reasons behind all that has happened that matter...*winks*

anyhow, i watched order of phoenix...i thought it was good...because the book itself was not good, very boring and very long-winded...but it's a must-read because it builds up all the foundation and everything...so i wasnt very disappointed in the movie at all..and i thought daniel radcliffe (harry potter) did a very good job in protraying the angry harry....he has really grown and although many prefer the young and innocent harry, i thought he's pretty good-looking...haha! now, my expectations of the 6th and 7th movie is very very high..as the books are really really really amazing...so am hoping that i wont be disappointed....anyway, i hope that get a really hot girl to protray ginny weasley...because she's supposed to be hot, smart and popular..but well, the current cast was kinda...haha..no comments!

oh well...i actually went to yahoo-ed pictures of daniel radcliffe to see how he has grown...take a look at these:

the young and cute harry!!

the dirty harry... but still a boy...

the teenager harry...can see him growing ya?

harry at his ugliest..to me at least..i guess i hate guys with such hair..

i thought he's pretty good-looking...no? *shrugs*

anyway, as i was yahoo-ging his pictures...i came across some articles about him acting in a play called "Equus"...where he was supposed to appeared naked, full-frontal for a whole TEN minutes!!! and his co-star is equally naked too...and there are many erotic scenes apparently...i'm soooo interested to see this play....hahaha! actually i found his naked frontal picture...which i thought was kinda weird as it looks rather fake..anyhow, cannot post it here...too obscene!! but here is one of the sexy picture:

not a bad body right? *drools* hahahahaha!!!

there are 2 Fridays the 13th!

did anyone notice....here are 2 Fridays the 13th this year....one was today and the other was on 13th April..heh how did i know it soo well? well, 04/13/07 is the date i flew back from Princeton to Singapore..haha!

anyhow, 07/13/07...we had an event in our office..it's bascially a promotion of one of our products to the other departments, especially the sales team so that they can promote to the clients...and we actually hired a palmist/astrogoler/fortune-teller to come and tell our fortunes..and so being the curious me, i went for a shot! :)

basically, this guy, called Master Khor, gave us a few options and one is supposed to select...encouraged by everyone, i chose love/marriage...but when i went into the room..i told him.." eh, can you tell me a little about everything? " haha! so typical singaporean right? but then again..i am a singaporean and proud to be one!!!

anyhow, basically this is what he told me:

(1) i am very subjective and idealistic - actually i think this is true to some extent...i am definitely very idealistic....as for subjectivity, i guess i do judge people very easily...and because of this, i will have a potential to remain single all my life or become a nun! how does "sister hannah" sound to you???

(2) i am very possessive and gets jealous easily - haha! seriously i have no idea about this..but then again, i think when i was younger..i was..now, maybe not...

(3) i cannot marry young and if i do, my chances of getting a divorce will be really high..a good age to get married is 29 - how to get married young when i'm not even young...and besides, isnt 29 a young age to get married too??? and also, i think 2 years ago, this tarot card reader told me i will meet my man at 28...haha! let's see if both of them are correct!

(4) the man that i'll fall in love with will be very different from me in every aspect and is most probably a foreigner and also, he must be very smart - mmmm, who doesnt want a smart ass to be your partner? i guess opposite attracts work for me! i really wonder what kind of man will that be and foreigner??? mmm..most of my friends, after whom i told them this, told me this : " see, told you you will get an ang-moh! " but hey, foreigners can be malaysian-chinese, indonesian-chinese, taiwanese etc right? who says will be ang moh?? but i will wait and see...

(5) i am not ambitious and so i will not climb up the corporate ladder..also, i am not someone who knows how to earn money and i like to enjoy life - this i am not very sure..definitely i'm not aggressive enough and everything but i do want to climb..haha, i'm contradicting myself ya? as for enjoying life, who doesnt want to? besides, i think this is not very true..if i only want to enjoy life, i wouldnt be giving piano lessons..but then again, if i dont give, i have no money to enjoy life...haha

(6) i have a lot of lucky charms in my life and so i will have a good life - yay!

(7) i will either be a carreer woman or a stern mother and i will either control my husband or my husband will control me in the extreme sense - haha! i thought he just said that i dont climb up the corporate ladder? then how to be a career woman? stern mother? i dont like kids and so i guess i will be very fierce..as for husband controlling me, am sure ALL my friends will say.... "no way! you will control your husband!" aah, maybe this is the part where i'm possessive? *shrugs*

anyhow, he also told me that i should wear more turqoise..which is alright as i like that color but hey, it's not easy to find that color...maybe i should go buy a turqoise-colored stone..which i have no idea what it is...anyhow, i do not believe in such things totally..it's just for fun...come to think of it, i think it's all psychologically..when this master tells you such things, you tend to try to think of situtation to fit his descriptions...and then you will go.." oh ya, he's right! " and i believe he must be making some assumptions based on whatever he has observed on me...i mean..EVERYONE thinks that i'm SPG and so i reckon maybe i do behave like one or look like one and thus, he said i'll marry a foreigner!! right??? also, another colleague told me, we always hire this master and 3 years ago, he told my colleague... " you will migrate to hong kong in 2 years' time " and where is my colleague now 3 years later? still in SINGAPORE!! hahahaha!

i'm going......

i'm going to be there next week..not for holiday..but for work..haha! yeah..have been travelling almost every month since April...many people may find it tiring..but i LIKE it...i love travelling..i love travelling for fun and for work...wanted to stay in Mandarain Oriental which my colleague who has just been there was raving about...but my manager said it's SGD100 more and asked me to stay in Mariott instead..oh well, it's still a good hotel ya?

now am just wondering wherer should i shop...haha! heard it's having the really good summer sale now...sooo exciting..actually i wanna go to the night scenes too..but then again, going alone is kinda weird..but anyhow, am sure will see how things go...am meeting up with an ex-colleague too!!! maybe i should contact some of the "cheeky" clients which i have been encountering and told them i'm going HK next week and ask them to entertain me ya? hahaha..but then again, maybe it's not a good idea..

am going to surf this website now: http://www.discoverhongkong.com/login.html

haha!

For the BITCH..

today is 07/07/07..and according to news report...777 couples are getting married today..wow..it seems that this date is really lucky...the number 7 seems to be the number to have in a date...haha! i have a 7 in my birthday..haha anyhow, although it's 07/07/07, funnily i didnt have any wedding invitation...even my brother who is 1 year younger than me has...actually am not sure if it's good or bad...but some friends have commented that it's good because it's good for the pocket and i'm still not that old to be in the stage where friends are getting hitched every month..HAHA!

anyway, this year seems to be the year of marriage, pregnancy and breakups...just this year alone..i have about 7 weddings dinners to attend..and everyone's in office is getting pregnant...and many of my friends are facing breakups...seriously, i think this is the year where relationships come and go...anyway talking about breakup, one of my good friend just broke up with his girlfriend...and the reason why i'm writing this is because i want to tell his ex-girlfriend what a bitch she is...

well, basically, i dont like his ex-girlfriend AT ALL..dont ask me why..but somehow, i just dont feel good about her... she just doesnt give me the good vibes and so for the longest time, i've been asking my friend to break up with her..but he refused..saying that she's good, blah blah blah blah...anyhow, it was a long-d relationship for them as my friend is in USA for the past 4 years for his studies and the girl is here working...and seriously, i think my friend has put in a lot of effort to maintain this relationship..but this stupid girl is just full of shit...she's forever possessive, unreasonable, terrible, horrible and whatsoever!!! even my friend's parents didnt like her AT ALL...well, i must admit that i am a bad influence for my friend because he did go into a fling because i encouraged him to do so..haha! but hey, if the ex-girlfriend is not a bitch, would i have encouraged her? okay okay, it's my fault...period. anyhow, she found out because she DIDNT respect my friend's privacy and hacked into his email..what a bitch! why would she do that? ignorance is a bliss girl...and because of this, she started to hate me which i have no worries about as i dont really like her..and then she told my friend of 10 years to "disown" me..haha! who does she think she is??? even my friend's parents like me much much more than her...so she can jolly well just stand on the outside and rot...everyone's on MY side, girl...and now she broke up with him, she started to say very mean things to him..asking him to fuck me, to flirt with me, to whatever with me...what a thing to say! and she said stuffs like she felt dirty when with him, she hopes that his dick will rot and all...blah blah blah...seriously, this is being sooo childish..i mean being his ex-girlfriend, she should know that my friend is a ladies-man....80% of his friends are female and these females are really just friends..if she herself cannot get over the fact that her man is popular with girls....than fuck it..go get a life and get a man who only talks to men..and hopefully, he turns out to be gay..haha!

well..apparently, according to my friend..she reads this..which is why i wrote about this so that she can whatever...haha! but anyhow, i think she is trying to tell my friend that i ay not be a good friend and try to sow discord between me and friend about my entry on the US trip that his graudation is of secondary purpose...which i have already told him myself and have complained non-stop in front of him..haha!! so sorry girl, your "mission" failed..and it failed terribly!!!!!!!

okay...now i sound like a bitch myself..hahaha but it's alright..maybe i am...but what to do? like what eminem said..i am what i am... *smilez*

She ROCKS!

can you guess who she is???



is this picture clearer? no?? what about this?



well, got the answer in your mind already? yes yes...it's CHRISTINA AGUILERA!! isnt she pretty??? okay..not really but seriously, she's AWESOME!!! i went to her concert on 06/30/07..and i'm sitting like next to the stage..5th row...but the tickets are free...haha! and each ticket cost SGD350..which i thought was pretty expensive..but after the show, it's definitely worth the money...because Chris A ROCKS! she can sing, she can dance and her voice is oh-so-powerful...amazing little thing..i mean she's pretty tiny but yet her voice is sooo huge that it's kinda difficult to imagine it coming out from someone so tiny...



and as usual..she's as sexy as she can be...there's rumors that she's pregnant and i think it could be true...because throughout the whole show, she didnt wear anything baring her mid-rift..guess she's sorta protecthing her tummy...maybe...anyhow, she's really sexy...haha



and my favorite song? "i'm beautiful"...she used this as a finale and it's oh-so-beautiful...

I'm back!

**** forgotten to publish this..haha! ****

just got back from KL...quite tired but yet not very tired..because it's just KL..haha! not too bad..enjoyed myself...as in my hotel was just next to KLCC and so everything's convenient...and the hotel was good..i dont know..but i like it..although the tv was small and there's not much on the channels...every night, there's CSI of all kinds..CSI Miami, CSI NY, CSI LV, CSI dont know what..i watched till i fell asleep...haha!

although i told myself not to spend..but again, i've spent..but not a lot..i bought like 10 tops (3 for others), 2 bottoms and 2 shoes..and it cost me around 500 Ringgits..which is about 250 SGD..which i think it's pretty alright..as compared to what i've spent in the States...am still paying for my credit card bills..can you believe that? hahaha..but almost done! yay!

anyhow, i went to KL Zouk on Wednesday..supposed to be mambo jumbo...but mmm, not very mambo...i was hoping to see mass dance by the malaysians..but no one knows the steps at all..NO ONE WAS DANCING..and they only opened up Velvet...guess the crowd is not enough to fill up the whole of Zouk...friend suggested that i should go Loft..but then i dont know where..and i'm kinda lazy and tired and i have no khakis..KL Zouk was a client who brought me there as he has promised to..but he's not of a clubbing person and so it's kinda boring..*yawnz*

i also caught 2 movies in KL...sooo cheap..the tickets are only 10 Ringgits...and the 2 movies that i watched are (1) Alone and (2) Transformers..."Alone" is a thai show, same directors from "Shutter"...it's pretty good i must say..and it's quite interesting to watch it alone..when i bought the ticket, the guy at the counter was like.." are you watching this alone? quite scarry..you sure? my friend cried when she watched " hahahaha..actually, it's not that scary, the ghost was pretty typical - long hair, white eyeballs, white gown, rotten flesh...nothing scary..but the storyline has a very good twist...asked many friends to catch it..i got the same answer.." CRAZY! " haha.. "Transformers" was okay only..the plot sucks but the special effects are awesome..but then again, it's steven spielberg and michael bay...what can we expect right?

by the way, i have a sorta strange encounter when i was in KL..there was this evening..i went for dinner with a friend and went back to my room at around 10 plus...so i walked to my room and slot my card key in...but it didnt work..and then i heard cupboards slamming sounds in my room..and i got a shock..i thought i went to the wrong room..but when i looked up..it is MY room..i didnt know what to do..i just stood outside..walked a few steps away..and then i tried my car key again..and it worked..i walked in..checked everything..nothing's amiss...so was it a ghost or a burgler? no idea....*shrugs*

My Daily Dosage

i dont know why..but recently, i think i'm going crazy...EVERYDAY..and i mean EVERY SINGLE DAY...i would DEFINITELY listen to this song:

i really seriously have no idea why am i sooo addicted to this song..seriously, i'm not a fan of Jay..neither do i buy any of his album..neither do i think he's good-looking..but i'm soooo in love with some of his songs..and now, it's this song..even my cousin is in love with this song..and my cousin is only 10 years old..haha!

well...will be in Malaysia next week for business...hee hee! kinda excited but yet i can see myself very tired from all the clients' visits and everything..but well, am looking forward to it anyhow...mmm...this year has been quite a year for me thus far...ever since April, i've been travelling..hahaha! NY/NJ in April, SF/SJ/LV in May and now KL in June..haha! i simply loooooove this kind of lifestyle!!! yay!!! hopefully i can go further..so that i can take business class again!! yay!!!

alright...quite lame this entry..but i just need to share my favorite song at this moment...shall listen to it again! haha

My Amazing Trip

watched ocean's 13 yesterday...it was quite entertaining..this is one of the few trilogy which i love all 3..although i thought it was a little too draggy for the 3rd one..but it's still entertaining...george clooney is sooooo sexy although he's old and all the plans and gadgets are soooooo foolproof...amazing!!

anyway, as many know..the ocean's series are filmed in Las Vegas..and so when the Strip appeared in the show..it really brought back fond memories of my trip last month...*sighz* and then i remember that i was supposed to post pictures and write about my trip..but well, i was sooo busy that it simply slipped my mind..

basically i went to the western part of the united states of america from 05/19/07 to 05/27/07...although i said that i was going there for my friend's graduation, actually that is of secondary purpose..my main and primary purpose is to go there for holidays..hahaha! anyhow, for those who decide to go USA for holiday..if you're very particular about aeroplanes..please DO NOT take northwest..haha! basically, the seats are very very uncomfortable..it doesnt fit the neck at all..and the air stewardesses and stewards are quite duhz..i walked to the back asking for a glass of water..the air steward was reading a book..he looked up at me and said.." it's all over there..help yourself "...hahaha! seriously, is this even acceptable?

for this trip, the thing that upset me most is that i didnt get to go to Santa Cruz because i had to attend my friend's graudation for 2 days! initially, i thought his graduation was on a saturday..then he told me it's a friday and saturday and so i said i'll just go saturday..and he told me that friday is the department graduation blah blah blah and so i said i'll go on friday then...and because of this...i had to spend EXTRA money for my air ticket...*mutter mutter* this is because i've booked a tour to LV and would be coming back on Friday..so instead of following the bus tour back, friend and I bought a domestic flight for 100 plus USD just to attend his graduation...and then we thought we didnt have to attend the saturday one but my friend insisted that we have to attend!! i mean seriously, i want to go Santa Cruz badly...VERY VERY badly..but graduating friend inisisted that we have to attend and I dont see any reason why..yes, we might have been there for his graduation but seriously, that is my secondary purpose...and because of this, i missed my santa cruz and wasted my saturday just to attend his graduation which is kinda boring to me...and during these 2 days, i'm literally the driver fetch people here...fetch people there..picked people up..dropped people off...very tiring...but then again, i'm the only one who drives..haha so no choice either...

anyhow, i must say..i loooooooooove San Francisco..it's such a nice city..it just makes one feels happy and the weather is sooo nice..although a little cold when the wind blows but it's really nice city...went to Alcatraz..amazing place..just look at these:

City View of SF

Seals at Pier 39..they look so cosy right?

Hannah Gump? haha!

seriously, i dont know why San Francisco is soooo attractive to me....these picture was taken at the piers...well, we went to Pier 39, which is the very famous pier..just walked around and there are soo many seals...nosiy and smelly..haha! then we took a cruise to Alcatraz...although my graduating friend and my uncle told me there's nothing there..they are sooooo wrong..i think it's a place you have to go if you go to SF..although it just a visit to an old prison..but it's really pretty interesting...

Me hoping to find Mike Scofield!

The Prison Cell..doesnt it remind you of Prison Break?

The Prison

I would love it if they actually let us tour the 2nd and 3rd floor...although they are pretty much the same but then well, i believe it would feel different...actually i was thinking, they could have "pretended" that we were inmates and brought us around to introduce the prison in that manner...what we did was we had a audio thingy which will guide us through the prison..pretty coolz though...

this is how the prison look like from the cruise...

after this Alcatraz tour, we wanted to take the cable car to Lombard Street..but somehow, when we reached the station, the queue was sooo long..and after looking at the map, we realized that Lombard Street is not far from where we were and so we decided to take a hike..and oh my god, it's such a tiring hike! hahaha..SF's streets are so slopey...the uphill is treacherous and the downhill is dangerous..anytime, we could just fall and roll...haha but it's definitely worth the effort to take a look at the world's crookedest street...

the crowded cable car station

bathing in the sun but let me tell you..it's colddddd....

World's Crookedest street

many cars were actually queuing up to just drive down the street..as we didnt drive, we didnt have the priviledge to do that..hahaha! but it's alright..6 years ago, when i went to USA with my uncle, we drove down.nothing much actually as we couldnt drive really fast down or drift..if not i think it would be cool..hahahaha! but i kind pity those people living next to this street...so noisy everyday but i believe their houses must be worth millions of dollars!!! after which, we took the cable car..initially, we thought we need to pay but somehow, it's free..hahaha..so we took a ride downtown and basically that summed up our one-day SF trip...must go again...hahaha!

after SF, we booked a bus tour to go LV and GC...and little did we know that our bus tour was filled with Chinese and Taiwanese Aunties and our tour guide is a Chinese..hahaha! so basically, we were always surrounded by Chinese..not that i have anything against it..but they are Chinese and Taiwanese Aunties..hahaha so kinda weird? we're 2 young pretty ladies afterall right? hahahaha but anyhow, it was quite alright..they treated us quite nicely...and i believe they must be wondering where we were from as we dont really speak mandarin with an accent and neither do we speak english with an accent..haha!

anyway, i dont really like LV..maybe because i'm not a gambler..hahaha..but it's really beautiful..all the hotels and all the lights...but then again, it's not as nice as i thought it would be..hahaha..definitely not as nice as what i've seen on ocean's 13...but still nice..hahaha..let the pictures tell you what i'm trying to say...

Part of the Strip @ Night..

LV Chinatown!!

One of my favorite hotels - Venetian, it's INDOORS!

another favorite becuase of the huge lion!

Fremont Street!

actually there are more pictures of the different hotels but then it's too difficult to post all of them here..if you're really keen, drop me a message and i'll send you the links to my 300-ish pictures! hahahaha! not that easy to post them all here...anyway, my next destination is Grand Canyon!

well, what can i say? it's really grand!! and i went to the latest attraction on the South Rim of Grand Canyon...the Skywalk...basically, it's a extension bridge and it's made of glass...initially, i thought we could walk across the so-called platform..but nope, it's only around..and it's not as scarry as i thought it would be..because it's quite windy, i thought the platform would shake..hahaha..but it didnt..it was as stable as a rock!! but it's pretty cool and the grand canyon doesnt look that deep from that bridge...and because it's new, it's not fully developed...so nothing much to rant about..but it's an experience...

The Skywalk!

Can you see the "eagle" behind us?

Those are CROWS and not eagles! haha!

isnt it grand?

no wonder it's one of the 7th wonders of the world!

well, dont think that this is only a sight-seeing trip for me..i did soo much shopping that im really broke! hahahaha...as compared to NY/NJ, i think the shopping outlets in Gilroy and SJ is sooooo much better...i looooove old navy..bought soo much back that i dont know when to wear them..i wanted to buy shoes, but somehow none caught my eye..almost bought another coach bag but then decided that i dont really like it that much but now when i'm back in singapore, i kinda regret! hahahaha..but then again, this always happen..so after some time, am sure i will get over it...

basically, i had a lots of fun and if ever visit the West Cosat, please try the In&Out burgers!! they are sooo delicious!!!
