C'est la vie: September 2004

I feel very weird today - its a very unsettling feeling. I don't like it.

Messy Pigsty

Had a fulfilling day at work today. Attended this 'skip-level' meeting. Basically its a meeting where we junior staff get to converse with our department head, without the presence of our immediate managers.

Some months back, we all took part in an Employee Satisfaction online survey thing. After sitting through a presentation of the survey results, issues like performance, training and compensation were raised and discussed amicably. Its heartening to learn that our comments are valued and that our boss is actually listening.

Let's see if some of these suggestions raised will be implemented!

:)

Guess what? My parents are holidaying in Taiwan at the moment. So .. my room is in a BIG mess and I don't care!! No mumsy to nag.. heh. I got my bags thrown on the floor, my bed left un-made and my study table in disarray.

Freeeeeedooooommmmmmmm!! heh.

Felt like I was back in uni days, in my messy little dorm. Ah.. the organised mess I like! And because a picture speaks a thousand words...

Oh happy weekend

The weekend flew me by quickly again.

If you have been reading, you would have noted that I go for my usual French class on Saturdays. So, no prize for guessing how I spent the saturday afternoon. :) But what you won't guess is, I actually made it for my French singing class yesterday too! Woohoo! It was interesting and funny at the same time - imagine me trying to follow the melody of the song and figuring how to pronounce the words all at one go! Heh.

Its becoming like a ritual for me. A cuppa latte at the school cafe before class commences at 230pm. Without the caffeine boost, I will probably be snoozing off in class. We did some geography of France yesterday, and learnt how to ask and give directions in French. And then my teacher sprung a surprise attack on us.. a mini evaluation in class! bleh. and i was one of those victims. He wanted us to converse in french totally. Totally!! I was all white and jittery, and keep saying a lot of 'Je ne sais pas' & 'Je ne comprehends pas'... gosh.. DOM, we need to talk online soon. I need to practise French!! help!!

After class, I popped by the hairdresser to do my hair. Did some hair treatment thing, the hair's especially dry when I stay coopped up in the air conditioned office all day long. do I look really unfriendly when I don't smile? do I look like i got that 'don't mess with me' look on my face? hmm.

The guy who was washing my hair at the salon made that comment. Then he started talking about the strangest things. He asked if I ever receive love letters??!! What has that got to do with my hair? Oh dear, does he think I look like some unfriendly man-eater and I probably never had a boyfriend? This is bad..!! Eeps. Do I really look that fierce??

So, I left the hair salon 90 minutes later with nicely treated and blown dry hair. Went to meet the guys who were playing billiards. After being complimented for my hair, I was one smiling girl (nevermind if they didn't really mean it) but a real hungry one. So we trotted off to dinner. I was starving by the time I sat down to have my steaming bowl of noodles and rojak! yums.

Merrill and Fiona joined us later and because there were no movies that we wanted to watch or haven't watched, we hopped into the car and drove to Merrill's house for a round of poker while gorging ourselves with chocolate cakes and cookies. Fun!

Ok, here's the important piece of information... You ready??

I, yes moi! won in poker!!!!!! hahahahaha!!!! Add that to my Risk victory, the guys were flabbergasted! heh. Woohoo. Imagine me taking the winnings with a wide huge grin :D I won $4 in total after an hour of poker. Heh.

The grand finale of the night ended with a plate of fragrant nasi lemak at the famous chong pang nasi lemak stall. The freshly deep fried chicken wings, and spicy chilli paste, the otah and the liquidy egg, all washed down with a nice mug of iced milo. Nice!

I am one happy girl this weekend, no doubt about it :) make that another one :) :)

My God, my dentist

Since young, I've been terrified of going to the dentist. If I had it my way, I will not ever step into the dental clinic. Ever noticed how traumatised some people look when they come out from the dentist's? I was one of them.

In my impressionable young mind back then, dentists are the most menancing persona decked in white robe, armed with the mandate to torture kids under the pretext of oral health. They will drill holes in my teeth, polish, extract those precious teeth and make me gurgle water over and over again. They will chide me for the cavities they find in my teeth, and questioned if I have been having too many candies. They will nag at me to floss and brush my teeth at least twice a day. They.. are simply evil! How I loathe them back then!

As I grow older, despite my professed detest for the teeth police donned in white, I've been diligent in my dental visits. Two years ago, I even had braces put on. And now, I am still on retainers. Heh.

Anyway just this morning, A friend of mine messaged me that he's suffering great pain, having just extracted his wisdom tooth. I totally understand what he's going through, having extracted all 4 wisdom teeth myself. That pain is simply excruciating.

After work, I was taking a leisurely walk to the bus stop. Wasn't thinking particularly about anything, but something hit me and I was flabbergasted..

God is like my dentist. He knows the cavities I have. He knows they need to be dealt with. And when the tooth becomes too decayed to be treated or scaled, He knows it needs to be extracted against my will. True, I wish I don't have to go through it, but God knows better. Sure the extraction hurts but in the long run, I will suffer less agony.

Have you let God examine the cavities in your life recently? I know I need to let Him to.

I've been really down the past 2 days because of the ex. Tears I thought that were dried up, came rolling down again. I felt really miserable.

Isn't it funny how weird a sense of humour God has? I've been praying for guidance and wisdom to deal with this; and its a tad strange that He would use this to remind me to let Him take charge of the ex, the cavity in my life.

I struck toto

What are the odds that your ex's matchmaking target turns out to be your good friend?

I would say more, but let me gather my thoughts and emotions first. I will be back.

I feasted and now I am lazing

I had lunch and dinner combined. Mum was in the mood to cook today so we were treated to the following goodies... :)~~

Chilli crabs, black pepper crabs, sambal chilli prawns and squids, fried vermicelli, deep fried taiwanese sausages etc.. all that washed down

*blurps* I am so so bloated and now I am sitting down in front of the lappie (that's what I call my laptop these days) and surfing aimlessly. The weather out there looks too uninviting to venture outdoors.

The view from my room window.

The photo is definitely out of focus! Hee. Looks like its going to be vegging out in front of the telly for me this evening. I am such a pig.

Saturday 18th Sept

Of 'Osama' ...

The film opened with a group of Afghanistan widowed women veiled from head to toe, protesting against the harsh regime of the Taliman. They cried out "we are not political, we want work and food'. In Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, women without a chaperon (male family members) are not allowed to venture out of the family compounds, lest they face the fury of the ruthless Talibans. Imagine these widowed women who lost their husbands during the wars, and have no other male family members to escort them, what were they going to survive on if they are not allowed to go out and earn their bread?

Very upsetting. Very disturbing.

The film revolves around a widowed woman, living with her 12 year old daughter "Osama", her elderly mother and her almost deranged sister. Although proficiently trained as a doctor, she was not free to practise and seek work, simply because she's a woman - and worse still, a woman with no male chaperon.

Out of sheer desperation, she has little choice but to disguise her daughter as a boy. As a boy, Osama found work in a shop and followed the men to their daily prayers. Her employer - a former comrade of her late father, treated her with compassion and for once, things seemed to be looking up as she brought food home to her impoverished family.

All was well till the Taliban decided to recruit young boys into the bin laden young boys' army. Unable to put a halt to her disguise as a boy, Osama was too recruited. When she was discovered by the Talibans that she was no boy (her period came), she was placed before a judge who 'forgave' her sins for impersonating as a boy. As a act of his magnanimousness, he gave her to the Mullah (i think it meant holy man) as wife. She, a sweet young thing at 12 years to be wedded to a disgusting man in his sixties?! The atrocity of it all!

The movie concluded with her looking terribly shaken on her wedding night, to one grostesque man she knows and love not...

Very sad.

When everyone was getting ready to leave the theatre, I overheard the lady sitting next to me telling her kids: 'boy, girl see how lucky you are to live in Singapore when you don't have to go through all those things.. '

How true. We are indeed blessed.

Of letters

I finally set aside some time just now to go through my box of letters, stashed away under my study table. Some of these letters and cards are at least 15 years old. And I found a really old letter dated back in 1987! That's like 17 years ago! Woah.

I used to have more such boxes, and I suspect mum threw some of them away when I was in Sydney. Hmm.

Anyway, I was reading through some of these letters and cards. Particularly, there was this stack of letters/cards Ad wrote me in 2001 - I felt a pinch of regret and sorrow as I was going through them. By the third letter, I couldn't bear to read further. Sigh.

The story of Ad and me -we never advanced further than the boundaries of friendship. I was back on hols then, we met up, and before my 3 week stay in Singapore was due, he told me he liked me. I was utterly confused and not wanting to commit to another relationship, having just broken up with the first boyfriend months back.

So things were left hanging in suspence between 'us' and I went back to Sydney. And then things between Kevin and me happened, like a whirlwind. I had to choose between them both, and no prize for guessing who I chose. I felt really bad for hurting Ad and because he was so upset with me, we contacted each other no more.

Sometimes (only sometimes) when I looked back, I wondered if things would have been different for me if I have chosen Ad instead of Kevin. Things probably would I guess, but its a choice I made and the consequences are mine to bear.

3 months later after Ad learnt about Kevin and me, he got attached too. And I was genuinely happy for him. 1 year later, he got married. He invited me to his wedding but I didn't show up, partly due to work but largely because I didn't know how to face the circumstance.

I rang him before his wedding - I apologised to him for all the pain and hurt I caused him, and that I am really sorry. I also wished him my blessings for his marriage.

These days, I don't contact him anymore. I just don't see the need to.

Friday I'm a pig

This is strange. Its only half past midnight and I am already feeling sleepy. zzzzz

Weather's kinda gloomy the whole of today and it makes me really lerthagic. I got out of bed only at 3pm today. That's how lazy I was..

Oh, added some links on web comics today - look to your right. I spent the last hour or so clicking through them. Its amazing how some talented people can create comics with just Adobe photoshop! Go check them out!

Maybe I should get off the internet and do some reading before bed time.

The weekend is here, enjoy! :) I know I will enjoy mine, cos there's french and osama tomorrow!

Les Choristes

Caught this just now with the guys. Amazing show, the singing was so brilliant. I was enthralled and totally impressed. Am going to get the soundtrack. :)

Tres bien! C'est un bon film.

And you know what, I could actually understand bits of what they were saying without looking at the subtitles :) Heh

Terminally surviving

Terminal was good stuff! Tom Hanks is truly amazing! In a brief nutshell, Tom plays a citizen from Krakronski (supposedly an eastern europe country) visting NY. Whilst he was clearing customs and immigration, he was informed that his country is in political chaos due to a military coup. As a result, his passport and visa became obsolate. Without these, he became 'unacceptable' to enter America legitimally, and was told to wait for a new diplomatic relationship to be established between America and the new ruling body of his homeland.

And so he waits. One day became a week, and before you knew it, he's been living at the terminal for 9 months straight. And yup, you would have guessed that he met Catherine Zeta-Jones at the terminal, she being a first class flight attendant for United Airlines.

Did romance blossom? What happened to Tom ultimately? Go catch the movie! You won't regret it.... I don't want to spoil the show for you.

The movie was a bit lengthy (slightly over 2 hours), you could tell that much thought and plot was put into it, clearly demonstrated with the intricate details and development of characters. Main cast aside, the sidekicks like Gupta the unbalanced Indian terminal cleaner, the lovesick food tray guy and the loyal baggage guy added much life and soul into the movie.

Throughout the movie, I was laughing quite a fair bit. Yet at the same time, the movie got me thinking... Imagine yourself being stranded in the terminal for 9 months with no money, no friends, no proper accomodation and no freedom. How would you survive? Would you lament and bitch about the unfairness of it all, wallowing in self pity? Or would you round up the last ounce of courage in yourself, gather your innate strength of self-resourcefulness and fight for survival?

Life is like a huge survivor game.

We encounter setbacks and tribulations. We are sometimes thrown into alien situations where we are expected to fend for ourselves. Think about it... It is when these things hit us hard and how we respond to them that set us apart from being a coward and a survivor.

A survivor fights albeit the slim chances. A coward is filled of self pity and has no will to overcome the darkness. The former remains positive in the face of life's turbulences while the latter stay sunken in the sea of negativity.

Which one will you be?

Doh!

Silly ole me.

Its almost 5 in the morning. 15 Sept has arrived!! Its not tomorrow, I am officially on leave TODAY onwards!!!

Heh.... :)

Nothing's gonna make me grouchy

Blogger has gone mad on me these days. It keeps deleting my post before I can publish it.

!!!

Nevermind, since I am on leave for the next 3 days, nothing's gonna make me frown and growl. Am a happy person at the moment. :)

2 things tomorrow.

Watching this in the afternoon... heard its not too bad. Did I ever mention that I am a movie bluff? I love watching movies and the record is 8 movies in a week when pretty boy was back from UK.

Meeting up with the Mrs Tan for dinner. Her wedding is in dec and I get to be one of the bridesmaids :) Cool!

Meet my folks?

Just finished watching 'Meet the folks' on tv - interesting.. Would you bring home 3 guys and let your parents pick the right one they deem the best for ya? Do our parents really see things in a better perspective when it comes to love and relationships? I wonder.. It was very sad that my parents disliked my ex-bf. Things were so tense that I think my parents would have disowned me if I had stayed together with him. It was that bad. And the ironic thing was I didn't break up with him out of parental objection in the end. I guess things happened for a reason, and perhaps he wasn't the God-intended one for me. It was tormenting to cope with both elements of parental objections and long distance. Long distance relationships, not easy.

It didn't help that communication was scarce. You would think that these days with technology like email and internet, a LDR isn't all that hard to maintain. I still think so, but it'll take both parties to put in effort to make it work. You simply cannot clap with one hand.

Hmm..

I hope I don't sound like a sceptic. I do know of LDRs which turned out alright and I am happy for those friends. Back then, I thought I could make mine work too. I tried really hard and ended up with a broken heart at the end of it all. Sigh.

These days, the heart is healing and I know God allows those things to happen so I can be moulded. I may not like it, but I know they happen for a reason, a good reason.

Like it?

Like this new look? After playing with blogskins and html codes for the past 2 days, I am glad! :)

Am not that brilliant to design the blog template from scratch. I copied some of the templates I found, and did my own adjustments of font size, colours and scrollbars. I would love to give credit to someone whose design i copied from, but because this css template is very commonly used it would be a tad hard to give credits to any single designer!

Anyway I revamped the other blog too - and for that design, all credits go to a wonderful person behind this site.

I am a happy person now. Whee!

Its time

Yawns. I spent the last 6 hours trying to 'prettify' my blog. Found some new skins templates, but to customise them is tedious. There were some really fanciful blogskins which I was trying to use. but the html codes just couldn't accomodate some of my customisations, like chatterbox and the lines keep going all over the place.

Ah well. This will do for now, whilst I go get some sleep.

I shall be back with a new revamped look, hopefully :)

Gimme Chocolate

I was happily sleeping away till I got rudely woken up by some inconsiderate neighbour who appears to be shifting furniture. All those 'bang bang' and 'knocking'... argh!!! have they no idea that its 2 in the morning?? hmpf!

So since I couldn't go back to my la-la land, I am sitting by my desk, wide awake sipping a cuppa of hersheys hot cocoa.. yums.. steaming milk with chocolate power sprinkled liberally on it. :) I am one contended person when my tummy is nice and warm.

Played risk again on Friday with the guys. It was a challenge - cos those guys were sore losers. heh, they couldn't bear with the fact that I beat them. lol. Anyway, we played till 5am and gh finished the game by conquering Asian and South African contigents. My mission was to destroy leroy's black troops who were basically playing hide and seek with me, I couldn't get to him to finish him up, alas.

Got home in the morning at 8am and was completely zonked! Took a quick shower and mum blew dry my hair while I was plonked on the bed, whining away. And i concussed for about 3 hours before she woke me up again for class.

Class was totally brilliant today, as usual. I learnt heaps and my french reading & listening skills have improved. Am glad :)

Also got tickets for Hossan Leong's stand up comedy for Oct 2. Caught his show last year with Fang and it was awesome. Both of us were laughing out loud - totally entertaining. Am looking forward to his performance this year. Can't wait!!

News Flash!

In a chilly night like now, nothing warms my empty tummy except for a cuppa campbell cream of chicken soup! And because I am also in great need to snack, I tore open a packet of Twisties, chicken flavoured.

And what didya know?

In a true blue shazza fashion, I emptied my twisties into my soup.. and the result? Truly amazing. Totally yums! :P The trick is to eat up the twisties before they get too soggy... heh

Chicken flavoured twisties in cream of chicken soup... heavenly!! Go try

Wonder if curry flavoured twisties work well with curry chicken? I shall try next time. wahaha!

Fruity floral is me

My biological clock is totally topsy turvy. Its 2pm now, where everyone would have had gone through half a day in school/ work.. and I have just woken up. Like I always tell people around me, I'm living the UK hours in Singapore. Heh. 2pm.. it would be 8am in London now.

Been really busy with work and am totally in need of a holiday to recharge. I feel like a drag at times. Whilst I like being at work, my body is sending me signals that it needs to be recharged. Will be on leave next week, shall makes use of the few precious days to chill! :)

And because I have nothing better else to say, i shall delve into my current fascination ... Floral and fruit Tea!! Did you know that pink rose buds / rose petals are good anti-depressants? It preserves beauty and youth; reduces high cholesterol levels, and is highly rich in vitamin C! Simply rejuvenating!

Lavender - It helps relieve muscle spasms, tension and fatigue. Also works as a good relief for headache and migraine.

And what about Jasmine? It reduces high blood pressure and relives anxiety.
And small mallow, they aid in the recovery of coughs and colds. Helps soothe respiratory problems and prevent heart disease.

Now that we've established that floral tea does you good, what about fruit tea? Hear on..
Berry dream .. a mix of raspberry, cherry, elderberry, blueberry, blackcurrant and hibiscus. Totally refereshing! Taste a tad like my fave ribena :P

And this is my fave.. Peach Melba!! Peach, apple, elderberry, sunflower blossom and hibiscus.

Writing all these makes me thirsty. Shall go make myself a cuppa icy fruit tea now. :)

A goody day

Eeps, this is bad, belly velly bad. In a matter of 15 minutes, I went from very hungry to very bloated now. *rubs tummy and burp in satisfaction* heh.

Had a really good day, today. That explains why I am still smiling silly to myself. Silly ole me. :)

Ran some errands at the bank today - paid my credit card bills and changed the mailing address. Was planning to meet the guys (J and GH) thereafter, and stupid J did the infamous J thing - completely overslept and totally not show up!! I think the whole world can collapse and he'll still be sleeping. Idiot! So, only GH turned up and we just walked around town. He wanted to 'look see' town since he just came back from UK and I was happy to oblige. Haven't quite walked around town much these days.

Strolling around town during off-peak hours - ie weekday afternoons, is actually quite nice. No crowds is good, no pushing and elbowing!! Marvellous! :) I like.

Dinner with the nenek ADP was funny and entertaining as usual. She's become some what of a gym freak these days. Getting too health conscious for my liking. I feel sluggish next to her - that woman goes to the gym 4 times a week! bLeH. madness!! :P

Its a lovely Monday

Its a beautiful world out there! Other than the occasional urge to sneeze and blow my nose, I think I am quite recovered. But I can always do with more sleep. Heh

Took this photo yesterday before going out to meet the guys, check out my ruldophied-nose, red and swollen. :P

My 4am ramblings

Bad idea to drink iced mocha vanilla just now. Its now 4 in the morning and I am still pretty wide awake. Eeps.

Met up with the guys again just now and we stuffed ourselves silly at this seafood restaurant in east coast. Totally yums! The chilli crabs were scrumptious! :)~~

Btw, if you are interested to know - I started a new blog which is in Mandarin. Whilst its good to learn french, I reckon I should not learn my mandarin go into the dumps. I am afterall a Chinese and its important to know my mother tongue.

Ok, shall try to catch some forty winks now. My eyes are tired from staring at the laptop. Good week all :)

Sweet!

I am slowly recovering, thanks to all for their concern. The voice is still hoarse but at least I don't feel as hazy as before. yay! :)

Met up with the guys after work last night and caught the movie 'Anacondas'. A typical, predictable show. We were speculating who was going to die, and in what order.. and what didya know, we were spot on! heh. I won't label this as a 'must-watch-or-you'll feel sorry' kinda show. But its a funny and entertaining no-brainer, perfect after a hectic week. And the little monkey in the movie is amazing :)

After the movie, we loitered around in town a bit. Did the usual 'where are we going next? what are we doing?' thing for a while before someone came up with the brilliant idea of playing board games and seeing her puppies at Tina's house.

Tina's got 3 dogs, and 8 new born puppies at home! And boy, they were soooooo cute! These darlings are so small that they are only slightly longer than my hand. So so adorable! Those cutesy eyes with all that whimpering.. makes you go 'awww' and just want to cuddle them. :)

Once the pups hit their bedtime, the 5 of us began our game of risk. My mission was to conquer 18 territories of my choice and place 2 armies in each. Initially I was going for the territories in North and South America continent, and I thought my game plan was progressing till it was thwarted by Jason in the Africa continent. He bluffed me into believing we had a peace treaty and that he won't attack from the Africa. And when I advanced up north to take up more territories, that bugger attacked!! sheeshh!! And haha, when the game finished we all found out his mission was to kill all my armies! :P

Anyway, guess who emerged victorious and had the last laugh??

C'est moi! hahhahah!! The guys (all 4 of them) were shocked when I won! nelly nelly poo poo!! oooooh, the sweet taste of victory :) I like!

Went to French class today a little zonked (got home at 5am the night before after risk) Had a few new fellas in the class and we got the same teacher for this module, which is not too bad since he already knew all of us and our learning ability.

Ok gonna go do some French revision now :) Laters!

I am a D-I-D

Am back to work today. Was still feeling a little weak but I livened up when I saw the work I had to do. I do actually love work.. haha, strange concept isn’t it? :) Because I wasn’t feeling too well, I am back to decent daylight hours today and tomorrow (11-8pm). Spent the whole good afternoon clearing my work emails and did some tidying up of previous days' work. Had a bit of laughs when the London colleagues called. Was literally trying to breath and talk at the same time. Sounded really nasal and those people had the audacity to laugh! hmpf :P

Anyway, I never really comprehend the concept of being a ‘damsel in distress’ till today.

Because I had not much of an appetite, I got a takeaway – some soupy kway teow thing – and brought it to the office pantry. This guy colleague A was also there getting some water and I said a weak hi. He asked if I was ok cause I looked pale and asked me to take care. I said thanks and then I tried to pry open the tight lid of my takeaway container, which was scalding hot and I must have looked a little distressed. Guy colleague A sensed my distress and offered me help. Okok, so he was just being nice. But I’ve come to label him as the ‘pantry guy’ (erm, cause I kinda forgot his name? And because he’s a temp, he doesn’t have the name plate thing on his desk….) Each time I go into the pantry, I will see him coming in shortly after that...!! (he sits near the pantry you see). Ok, stop reading too much Shaz, its only a coincidence. Heh. Then again.. haha its funny. no? My make believe admirer. :P

Guy colleague B (which happens to be another temp) came over to my desk to check something about work. Having done that, he handed me some cough drops. I was quite taken aback, now that’s a really sweet gesture! :) I must have been coughing like mad today in the office.

After work, I met up with the guys in town and we had dinner at gluttony square in town. The food looks really tempting but I had to control and restrain. Arghhh! Ended up eating some tasteless noodles soup and popiah, when I could have eaten sting ray, satay, bbq chicken wings, oyster ommelette and what nots?! Bleh!! I’m going back there again when I am fully recovered. Am gonna eat to my heart’s content!! The stomach shall be appeased!

We had coffee thereafter at Starbucks and I was served by a really really cute waiter at the counter. I was trying to decide what to have. He was trying to promote this nice icy drink product. I smiled politely and said I am not feeling too well and maybe I should skip that. He’s got a really cute smile.. anyway he said there was lemonade in the drink and that would be good for my throat (?) so I said ‘yeah why not I’ll give it a try..’ And before he punched in my order, he looked at me and smiled.. ‘I think you better have some chamomile tea, its better for you’. I looked at him not knowing what to say, erm ok? smiled (again) and said I would like a small cuppa. He came back with a large cup instead. I was going to offer to buy for the large cup, the difference was only like 30 cents but he said it was fine, smiled (again.. he’s got a dazzling smile) and said in the most charming way ‘get well soon’. I hope I wasn’t blushing when I said thanks! heh...

So there, a damsel in distress I was today but I didn’t mind being treated like a lady at all. :)

Shazza down

This is really bad. I've never felt this sick for a long while. Was hit by the flu virus on sunday night, so I took monday off work. When I went back to work on Tuesday, I developed a fever and left work early.

It is now Wednesday and I am still feeling unwell. Am now having a flu, throat infection, fever and cough.. bLeh. I think my body is telling me that I am not as healthy as I would like to think. Time to exercise dudette! It could be the working hours too. Working nights coupled with the lack of rest and proper eating habits.. that's a lethal combination i tell ya. sigh.

Anyways because I didn't have to go to work, and I was tired of sleeping all day (an oxymoron there I say..) I was looking through my friends' webbies and I chanced upon this and I spent a good part of the afternoon reading on the tale of the painted breast. I remembered receiving an email of a similar sort some time back and I knew better to respond. Moreover, i didn't have that much money for them to scam! So there. heh.

Ok, I should get off the internet now. Going to do some reading and guzzle some water. Did I ever mention how much I hate drinking plain water?? eeks.
