Passing The Time...

Geez... The patch for Season 2 of [AuditionSEA] is way too big, such tt [AsiaSoft] is requesting for us [Singaporeans] to drop by @ their [SunTec] outlet to get the patch... 50 CDs of the manual patch will be given out FOC for those w/o a thumbdrive... However, even if you have a tumbdrive, you'll need one tt has more than 550 MB of disk space... Which is a bummer as the thumbdrive which I possess is only a measly 512 MB, though I do think tt my sis has an 8 GB one and my dad has both the 1 GB and 8 GB one... *Ponders*

And I'm kinda confused with the whole patch now... A notice was posted with the links for the manual patch in the event tt the auto patch is malfunctioning due to the large file size... Then for the latest notice, [AsiaSoft] is requesting for us players to obtain the patch personally by brining our thumbdrive... I wonder which is preferred... I'm planning to head down and do the inquiries and obtain the patch... Tt way, I'm covered for any problems tt might occur as I attempt the patch...

LOL... Seems like whenever I've almost decided to stay @ home for the weekend, the unknown forces of nature keeps forcing me to get out of the house... Ahh well, guess it can't be help eh... *Roll eyes*

Okay, so dancing is out of the question and neither do I feel like playing [Cabal] now... I've watched an episode of [Kaze No Stigma] and [Junjou Romantica], so I'm now having an internal debate with myself if I should watch another episode of [Junjou Romantica], a yaoi anime recommended by [XP]... I'm intrigued by the storyline of the romance blossoming as one of the guy's 18 while the other's 28... Plus there's quite a lot of comedic moments in the anime as well, a surprise for me as the other yaoi-themed anime - [Gakuen Heaven] - didn't have tt muc of those funny scenes... Haha...

Hmmm... I think after tt statement, it's quite obvious what I'm gonna do after I'm done with this entry... [Facebook] can wait... My fantasies can't... =P

Hang on though!!! Before this post is officially concluded, I must share the following video as recommended by [SH]... [MadTV] really have the most hilarious videos!!! Tt said, I'm implying tt this video is a must watch... Zettai must watch!!! *Squeals*

[The Foundation For Unwed Mothers] By [MadTV]

Ngee Ann Poly...

I've been overestimating my ability to be on time... Take today for instance... I was supposed to be @ [Ngee Ann Poly] - henceforth known as [NAP] for short - by 1300 hrs... Yet I decided to leave the house only @ 1145 hrs... I would be on time had I not missed [975] as I was walking towards the bus stop, resulting in a 15 mins wait for the next bus...

By the time I arrived @ [BPP], it was abt 1225 hrs and I simply have to grab something to eat as lunch before I continue on my next bus ride... So I decided to buy 2 bread from [BreadTalk]... Yes, tt shop doesn't exist in tt shopping centre for quite some time already, but I simply just forgot abt it... LOL... Imagine the shock tt I had when the realization hit me... Of course, I was rather proud with myself as I immediately switched track and headed to [Four Leaves] instead, all within a couple of seconds, as if this was already my Plan B... Haha...

[184] came within mins and I was initially glad because the anxiety hit full force when the bus's engine totally stalled when it arrived @ the stop [Opp Bt. Timah Plaza]!!! I'm like 'Masaka!!! This cannot be happening!!!' I kept my fingers crossed while the driver attempted to get the engine running... 3rd time's the charm and I arrived @ [NAP] @ 1300 hrs exactly... Phew!!!

Not to self: I'm so gonna leave the house 2 hrs in advance from now on... Being early is better than being late and leaving a bad impression...

The next hurdle came in the form of locating the badminton court tt's in the sch... Simple words describing the general direction just won't do... I need a visualization in order to navigate my way around... Therefore, I wasn't surprised when I attempted to follow the directions tt was SMS-ed to me and ended up walking in the wrong direction... Hmmm... Perhaps the next phone tt I'm getting should be installed with the GPS navigation system... LOL...

I had a great time playing some friendly matches with my colleagues' friends and the 90 mins just flew by so quickly... LOL... Apart from my 2 colleagues, I hardly know the other 5 ppl who were with us... It's a good experience though, to feel what it's like to socialize, not tt this really count as socialization in the normal human sense... Haha...

Guess tt's abt it then... Oh, I must thank [YH] for entertaining me despite her being busy with her stuff... Not tt she has any other choice as I was the one bugging her to keep me entertained as I made my way to [NAP]... Hmmm... Perhaps it's time I start making use of my MP3 player to keep me pre-occupied... Heke... =P

A Break From Gaming...

It seems like my idiocy has just reached a new high, or low, depending on which perspective you're looking @... The situation is as follows...

With the recent segregation of [Central] so tt both [Arts Central] and [Kids Central] are able to have more screen time, [Okto] was formed... So the TV was tuned, and so was the VCR, which seems great... However, I forgot to reconfigure the preset timer which I've set long time ago... Hence, imagine the horror when I tried to watch [Shakugan No Shana] this morning!!! An episode of tt as well as [Toradora] was missed because of my lack of foresight... In addition, [Crunchyroll.com] has banned the video cause it's license!!! AHHH!!! Therefore, I've no choice but to turn to [Veoh.com] for the episode which I missed... Even though it's dubbed, I've no choice but to suck it up... *Sigh*

I just hopped tt [Crunchyroll.com] has [Toradora]... If it's licensed as well... *Groan*

Well, I was watching [Okto] this morning and the new [Digimon] cartoon seems kinda interesting... LOL... It just brings back some memories of the past when I'm like super hooked to [DMW2]... Haha... Of course, the Eng voices just seems so... Out of place... I also caught a glimpse of [Power Ranger]... Not tt I'm interested in tt though... *Laughs* It's been so long but the special effects didn't improve much... Still so obiang... -_-"'

Oh, and a miraculous thing happened today... [SL] actually called me!!! LOL... From tt sentence, it seems like a big deal huh... Except tt he called me to ask where the hell [Blk 463] was in as he was visting his superior whose baby just reached 1 mth old... Well, seeing tt he's not a useless soldier as me, he should be capable of finding tt blk all by himself... Yet he called me to ask for directions!!! It must mean something right??? *Slaps*

In my dreams la hor???

(Everyone suddendly has the urge to slap me... Hard...)

Okay, so I met up with [JY] and [SH] and we headed to tt same old place for my ice-cream fix... I was only partially satisified again as my expectation to linger in tt shop to sook up the ambiance as well as ppl gaze didn't materialise... Thanks to [SH] insistance to head over to town... I felt cheated as I didn't expect tt coming while [JY] felt cheated cause she didn't want to eat any ice-cream initially (note keyword) nor did she know tt we're going to [Island Creamery]... In the end, she ended up eating cause [SH] unknowingly treated her and she couldn't dispute [SH]'s argument tt we are going to town via [Bt. Timah Rd] and stopping by [Island Creamery] as it's 'shun(4) lu(4)' mah... -_-"'

I was having my feast as usual by devouring the following: Apple pie, mud pie, hot fudge sundae and 1 scoop of teh tarik ice-cream... The conclusion tt I've derived after trying those is tt it's still better to just eat ice-cream and nth else due to the price tags of the other items... You could get similar tasting apple pies @ [Mac] for 25% of the price... The hot fudge sundae wasn't tt fantastic either... For a cheaper alternative, I'll go to [Mac] again... If I want to splurge, I'll just go to [Ben n Jerry's] for the sinful chocolate treat...

No matter what, as long as I don't get to linger for more than 1 hr @ [Island Creamery], I'll not give up!!! Zettai never!!! =P

We headed to town cause [SH] wanted to buy a portable DVD player so tt he can kill time when he's staying in in his camp... It didn't take long for him to decide on which player to buy... The cheapest one will do and as long as it can last for the next 1 yr till he ORD, he's satisfied... LOL... So there goes his $140...

Oh well... I guess I'll stop here and show you an interesting video...

WARNING!!! Though it's rated as 'R', the following might be distastful for those whose sense of humour differs from mine... Or have a severe allergy to expletives of any kind... LOL...

Recovering...

My hazy memory could hardly recall the last time I could actually pen a decent entry on my life... Those kind where I'm sharing what I've done on a certain day... I've absolutely been distracted with jealousy, insanity and more jealousy to be able to think straight... Surprisingly though, I'm fairly clear headed to share a day of my life here... Not tt my life is tt exciting or whatsoever... No romance, religion, mystery or horror... LOL...

Before I proceed, I would like to bitch abt this for the last time... I was on [MSN] the day before and on the spur of the moment, I decided to ask [SL] to acc me to watch [The House Bunny] and ice-cream @ [Island Creamery]... From past experience, I knew better than to hold onto much hope... Yet he surprised me by agreeing to it...

Then he asked [YH] why she wasn't able to make it... Can you believe what tt girl did later?! She berated me for not informing her tt I've invited [SL]... And since he's going, so could she... Bloody hell!!! The blatant display of favouritism is disgusting... Ugh...

So I bought the tickets 1st before going for my facial... The treatment was the routine kind, you know... Extraction and then masking... The lady was urging me to buy some cream (I think this is the best word to describe it) tt cost $90 and has a lifespan of only 2 use @ most... She was saying tt it'll be able to protect the skin from the dirty environment, help to rejuvenate and strength the skin and hence preventing outbreaks... With my skin as it is now, she couldn't proceed on with the treatment... Now, I don't know how true it is, but from my point of view, after spending $5+ k on this and not listening to the advice dished out by the experts, it kinda defeat the purpose of actually going for this treatment in the 1st place... I would wish to buy what she recommends, but with my currently financial status, I'm not capable of buying 10 of those creams which will only last like 3 mths in the initial usage (the frequency of usage decreases as the skin gets stronger)... Oh well... If my parents aren't listening to the advice dished out by the experts, I'm not able to do much on my part... I'm not good @ persuasion... Or negotiation for tt matter... Blehx...

Anyway, after tt 150 mins of torture, I met up with [Ms. Bias] and we went to buy [SweetTalk] and other tidbits before [SL] caught up with us @ [1500 hrs]... The movie starts @ [1505 hrs] and we're supposed to meet @ [1430 hrs]... In short, he's late... Can't say I blame him as he was rushing down from [Sentosa]... LOL... O-k-a-y... Even if he's late and not rushing down from the opp site of this tiny red dot, I seriously doubt tt I'll hold a grudge anyway...

[The house Bunny]'s bimbotic and hilarious... Unless you're into those kinda comedy, then this movie isn't really suitable... Once again, I'll only give like 2.5 /5 stars... It's not really tt impressive cause there's no really hot guys in the show, just girls, girls and more girls... Amazingly, I was filled with anger and indignation when the totally plastic girl screwed up the [Zeta]'s initial selection of the 30 pledges... I couldn't help but mutter 'Bitch' under my breath... Haha...

I've decided to skip dinner and head straight to [Island Creamery] for my fix... Haha... I'm making it sound like I'm on drugs on something... Which I think is quite appropriate considering tt anything with sugar in it is my kryptonite... It's a pity though... I didn't manage to eat as much as I would like to satisfy my thirst for all things sweet... I dunno, maybe it's the age thing tt's causing me to be unable to eat anything more than 3 scoops of ice-cream and a mudpie... Or I'm just not hungry... But the main thing tt's stopping me is [Ms. Bias] here having to leave not long after we got to tt place!!! ROAR!!!

I could get [SL] to stay... But somehow, w/o [YH] as a person to argue with and really communicate, I fear tt the atmosphere will turn dry and awkward, so once I finished my 3rd scoop of ice-cream, we left together... *Sigh* I wish I could eat @ least eat an apple pie if I could stomach it and tt [SL] didn't finish tt last one... Boo... =S

I could believe tt [YH] decided to dump me and take the bus together with [SL]... On second thought, I'm not tt surprised considering tt said lady is freaking bias... As a result of tt, I was stucked @ tt bus stop, all by myself for a freaking 26 mins before tt 67 decided to come... Imagine my dismay when I couldn't fit into tt bus cause it's too packed!!! Zzz... I ended up waiting for another 5 mins or so before another bus came along... It wasn't another 45 mins or so before I actually reached home... As I didn't have my earpiece with me, imagine the boredom I've to endure for the journey home w/o any music!!! Ugh... But I survived anyway, which is a pity for some huh... LOL!!!

Oh well... I think I should stop here fore now cause I've another MV to share!!! *Squeals*


[Lollipop] By [Mika]

Weakness...

I tried to abstain from using the net for @ least 4 days, starting from [Mon]... Despite it being a rather innocuous goal, me not being able to accomplish tt 1 task showed my total lack of self-restrain and determination in certain facets of life... Which I don't think I'm capable of providing an acceptable response for this unbecoming side of me... Whatever I come up in defense with will only sound like some feeble excuses...

Anyway, with so many things happening within this week, it's impossible for my easily distracted mind to recall a single one of them... Haha... It's pretty lame huh??? Oh well, the bane of falling into the category of the aging population of [Singapore] can't be denied... @ this pt of time, I once again have made [YH] laughed and [SH] agreeing fervently to my statement...

O-k-a-y... @ least I'm still able to recall the 'interesting issues' tt took place today... LOL... If I can't, then I'll definitely need medical attention like immediately...

I managed to take half-day off today, which is fabulous since it seems like a very long time ago when I'm able to be home w/o any adults nagging down my back for my computer habits... Heke... Besides, my replacement is here and I can sort of leave the office in peace for the knowledge tt @ least someone is still assisting me in doing my work while I'm not in the office comforts me... Of course, this isn't to say tt I'll throw everything to my replacement and kick back and relax during office hours... I can't survive on tt kinda lifestyle... I'm still unable to live my days w/o any distractions to prevent my mind from wandering to the forbidden sector which controls my emotions...

Could this be how workaholics are born??? Or is this a sign tt my emotional capacity has been overloaded to the extent tt I'm no longer capable of handling any emotional trauma??? Or could it be a combination of both???

*SIgh* Thinking @ what [SH] has been advising in his typical unkind and demeaning manner, I must confess... I'm totally freaked out to take tt next big step to open myself up... The various what ifs still haunts me to this very day... What if we don't click??? What if they don't like me??? What if they turn out to another [Jeff]??? I know I'm being super duper cautious and paranoid... Whatever happened in the past was due to pure childishness on their part... Yet the hurt is there and I couldn't help but to be on my guard...

I'm facing the consequences of being totally @ ease with complete isolation... The loneliness is starting to get stronger w/o the absence of my close friends - [The Gang] - and I'm not strong enough to stop this vicious cycle of tormenting myself when I'm lonely and bored and not having anyone to chat with...

Goodness... I'm totally derailed again!!! I shall now shake off the emo side of me and indulge in some [My Heroes Abilities] on [Facebook]... But before tt, a MV recommendation... LOL... I'm jumping on the bandwagon of introducing music...


[Hot n Cold] By [Katy Perry]...

Routine...

I kinda have the impression tt I've used tt for the title of my entries in the past... It's not really an issue though, not like I'll really make an effort to check the online thesaurus or anything... I simply love to complain for no apparent reason whatsoever...

Right, like what the title said, my life is routine, boring, mundane... You don't have to be a rocket scientist to uncover tt fact... Look @ me!!! Online @ this time of the weekend, immersing in my own little world, couped out @ home... Or if I'm not doing tt, I'll be bugging my friends who are having a life...

I need to socialise, I need to meet more ppl, I need some change, I need to be in a r/s...

I admit... I'm beating around the bush here... With my to-do list mapped out, the only problem now is the determination and guts tt I'm seriously lacking to carry out the plan... I've my own reservations when it comes to meeting strangers face-to-face, unsure of how I am in their eyes... This is even worse if I'm attempting to meet ppl via the Internet... How do ppl keep up with a conversation with a stranger??? How do I make myself feel less awkward???

Sometimes I do feel tt I'm making a fool out of myself by logging into those online chat chns... The indicision is always there to attempt a private chat with a stranger... Yeah... It's rather obvious now tt I've finally decided not to be so passive abt this whole r/s thing... As if I'll ever find 1 if I were to just stay in my well...

I still need time to really calm down and sort out my feelings, thoughts... LOL... Wonder when I'll actually be capable of typing a decent blog entry... *Wryly laugh*

Random-ness In Life...

Things have not been going well lately, as you can tell from the previous entry... Am I recovering??? The answer to tt question still eludes me...

With an extended weekend, I've plenty of time to spare, time to distract myself and let those wounds heal... Yet my dad has to take his leave on the same 2 days as me - no doubt to cash in on the long weekend as well - which left me with not many methods of distractions... Actually, save for going out, I've practically ran out of options already... I initially planned on gaming non-stop... Oh well...

And [Windows Media Player] not being able to stream the [98.7 FM] is not helping me in my irritation...

Nevertheless, I'm taking deep breathes to relax... To force those painful fantasies into the deepest recesses of my mind...

Let's start with [Wed]... It's only today tt I realised tt with effect from [1 Oct 08], the transport fares have gone up again... WTH?! Okay, so beginning there's shock... But thinking abt it now, 12 hrs after the realisation, it seems like I've accepted the reality of it... This isn't because I'm taking comfort tt the rebates have gone up to $0.40... More like I'm just behaving like those typical [Singaporeans]... Like what [Jack Neo] said in his film [Money No Enough 2]:

'Singaporeans just like to complain, KBKB, complain, KBKB... After tt, once we're tired, we'll just forget abt it...'

My facial is still a must, no matter how ex public transport is... The alternatives like taking a cab or owning a car is even worse... *Shivers*

Regardless, after my facial ended, I decided to do a random, impromptu move... To ask [YH] out for lunch... You don't have to be a psyhic to predict tt the outcome wasn't successful... Which is why I stand by my principles not to be random, but to have a plan for any day... Gah... The thought of not having a plan and being in limbo, wasting time thinking of a last min plan is just plain ghastly, terrifying, frightening...

Then there's yesterday... I went over to [NUS] to meet up with [XP] for a simple lunch @ the [Biz] canteen... I'm thrilled tt the food there is dirt cheap!!! $2.20 for a plate of [Chicken Rice]!!! $1.80 for a bowl of [Yong Tau Foo] which consist of 6 items + noodles... And if you order 8 items, it'll only be $2.00!!! OMG!!! It's so cheap, cheap, CHEAP!!!

I've also blacklisted the [FASS], so I'll be sure to avoid tt bunch of buildings 2 yrs later when a certain monstrosity enrol in there like tt area's filled with some biblical plague...

Hmmm... The depressing thing abt yesterday's visit is tt there aren't many good looking guys in sight... My initial thought was tt [Biz] has none... But then again, what if they've all migrated to the [Arts] canteen so ogle @ more beauties there??? This just means tt they're straight and out of bounds to me anyway... GAH!!!

My future in the relationship department seems bleak all of a sudden... Where can I find the guts and initiative to bring out my sun??? *Moans*
