a new point in my life!! but.... not yet. heh

hello everyone, i have an announcement to make.
I HAVE GROWN AN EXTRA NOSE.





hahahah!! k no lah.. actually.. it's just that i have decided to get my ears pierced!!! yes!! at an extremely ripe old age of 20!! haha.. anyway i had been contemplating about getting my ears pierced since i was like 10.. till i saw my sis getting hers done, and i was tormented i tell u. *puke* so anyway, recently been window shopping online and i chanced upon rachelandjudith.com. they have handmade earrings, and are pretty cheap too (tho i have never bought earrings). so anyway, i came upon this one called 'Black Magic' where it's a simple black piece, something i know dear would love.. (haha.. u must be wondering y not me?) and i also tot that it would go well with long hair, and my specs.. hehe..
so that sparked the topic of getting my ears pierced.
so y haven't i gotten my ears pierceD?
reason no. 1: read the above.
reason no. 2: i figured that if pple were meant to wear earrings, we would have been born with little holes for earrings to fit! haha.. silly little theory, but then, humans are born sados and masos. so. u get the meaning.
reason no. 3: yes, i do have eczema in my poor ears since the tender age of 8.. yes, so non-euphemetically, it's an ear infection. chronic. ok? so i don't really know whether it'll spread or something. @_@. bleargh.
reason no. 4: i have lovely earlobes and i'm rather hesitant to vilify them. darn.

anyway, since (as usual) i blame everything for anything, and not myself, no lah. today i will not blame. hehee.. just on myself, basically curiousity, vanity, and mebbe the pleasure of pleasing a loved one.. bah. yes sweetums?

so yes, i have FINALLY decided to pierce my silly little ears, at this place at Wisma Atria, near Famous Amos, saw them doing their work and they were rather pro. will prob get a black studded starter earrings, of course to match my specs! hehe.. yay!

ok rather tied down with work. or rather, tired from work.
toodles!

finally got my portable hdd!!

rarrrrrr... yay.. finally went to the pc fair at expo hall six.. muahahah.. and as expected, it was damnnnnnnnnnnnnn packed lah... i couldn't breathe properly... and then.. the whole floor was littered with phamplets and what nots.. haiyoh.. and it's like so damn squeezy lah.. that i felt so violated (altho nothing happened) and walked with my arms pressed to me chest.. hahah

what else do u expect on a saturday.. so.. anyway, was looking out for stuff.. like
1) zen micro and neeon for sasa.. cos apparently neeon is so new, no one out of singapore knows it or something.. so yes.. they were abt the same and i HAD to get the details.. cos there's like a 70 bucks gap.

2) Portable HDD (hard disk drive) for myself, all the watsitnot i need .. backup all my precious data, after hearing all the scary stories of computer crashes and stuff like that.. soooo later then i elaborate..

3) sony camera for mr joot.. warau.. but that was easy lah.. haha.. just a sony digicam from the sony booth. wutelse. except for the jostling..

soo.. i was at the expo all by myself, took a train to the expo.. and the station reminded me of calatrava's curves with ando's hard concrete. pretty scary cum futuristic cum ominous to me.. warau.. like damn sci-fi lah. anyway....

so i realised that this time round, they don't give u phamplets like their lives depended on that, just when u look at them, and mebbe they'll give u.. haha.. so yes, anyway mebbe they were appalled by the no. of brouchures on the ground.. so yes.. save the earth!

so anyway, u can't MOVE at all, unless u push ur way thru, cos some pple.. i tell u.. are like blockheads.. more like blockbodies.. nm.. they dun dare move! like for heaven's sake! u spend 2-3 mins standing there, trying to *think* that the flow will ebb soon, so u can move somehow, but no lah! that is not in ur freaking mind gg to happen! if u gotta move, u gotta take initiative! haiyoh
so irritating.

anyway, so i was looking ard, collecting phamplets stuff like that.. asking what's the diff, waht spec.s.. luckily i was alone, then can squirm my way thru.. hehe..

so... nice pple out there.. hehe.. tell me thingss abt hdd and mp3 players.. aiyah. but just to sell their products right. so anyweay, hdd out there.. such a rarity, tho i found one like $70 cheaper, but it was just on paper, i couldn't even find the bloody sample nor talk to the pple.. so the 'Ranger' guy was so kind to spend like 10 mins talking to me, tho' proxemics weren't working in my favour.. ( i dun like talking to pple so close, esp when ur eyes are dau liap) but ok lah, at least the guy quite cute.. hehe.. and he called me a miss and not mam! yay! hate being called so old when i'm not that old. warau. .so anyway, Norman dear, dun xiang3 wai1 i have my eyes on nobody but u~~~

so anyway.. decided to look ard before buying it.. yah.. so after like 30 mins of jostling ( i could get to the booth in. a few seconds if the whole place was empty.. yah. so. yes.. being a nice customer so that he can get commision, went back to the guy.. and bot it! a 60gb white hdd!! heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee actually was looking at it for quite long.. yarh.. so.. the price (to me) was reasonable.. so yah lor. hehehe

k so the moral of the story is, if u want to sell ur things, make sure pple can get to them in the first place, otherwise.. pple will just settle for something else..
and another thing related to aki.. wei! pc fair leh! make bigger booths so pple can spread out for the same product and make the aisles bigger lah! no blain one leh.. no blain.. and come on lah. creative. u put up a stage for ur prodigkeys thingy, so obviously that place is hot.. as in a lot of pple.. push ur stage furthur back lah! warau. put it right to the boundary of the aisle. knn.

so after less than an hr of walking ard, i decided my brain needed oxygen.. and i was feeling faint already.. so back to home~~~ sweet home~~~~with my lovely white hdd.. heheee... and it's got this super bright blue light when the thing is on.. ok lah. haha... tho a bit ah beng...:P

yay!!!!! i got the Coldplay cd!!! tried calling in again and i won!!!!!!!!

it was kinda unexpected, cos i tot that i might be one of the 'oh, you're number blah."

but yay!!! this time round, didn't hear the 'pls be caller number so and so' just 'pls call'

and lucky thing gerald asked me to call, cos my batt died and was listening to internet radio aka super laggy... so tried for a while and woo!!!! it started ringing!!!!!!!!!! and dj got answer also!!!! wahh!!!! i soo happieee.. like trembled with excitment!!!! hahahah!!!1 and my voice was shaking, altho not so obvious when i went on air... hehehehehehehe

k so went to derek's place, at some ulu part of sengkang, anchorvale there, and was soooo lonely lah. i knew no one there and his relatives were looking at me. @_@. darn. so anyway i tried to occupy myself with the tv, tho it was some sappy korean drama and i couldn't hear the tv at all. damit.

part tooooo

okok.. i know i just posted something.. budden.. u know how it's like when there's a sale but the discounted items are still like 'might as well not discount lor' cos it's so friggin ex?!?!!?

yah. so today i went to muji.. bugis, to get norman the ink for his fountain pen.. got a shock cos it was so cheap for 2 at 1.60.. haha..
so anyway, yes i typically love muji stuff, clean lines, wonderful fabrics, earthy colours and tones, nothing to ostentatious ...


except


for its price!!!
dammit!
yah. since my blog title is lamentations, so i am lamenting.. only looking forward to its notebook organiser that i am contemplating to get, but it's 10.90, but with pages inbetween so i can doodle, and only the 'monday.. ... sunday is printed' so it's flexi.. hahahah
and of course, derek's birthday present... tho i said i wanted to get large pack condoms and a g-string.. but see i so guai right! muji summore leh! hahah.. happy 21st!

ah!!!

i must spend less........ spend less.. i must!!! gah!!!!! lamentations of a girl.. of a shopaholic.. or more like a window shopaholic.... booohooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

just calculated what i've spent in the last month.. like 300+ not incl tpt... @_@"""""

wah!!!! it's like a bit here, a bit there, a bit ex here, plus plus plus...

aiyoh. yes and because i usually blame everything/body else but me, i shall shift the blame to..
me working and having a job!!!! yes.. haha
reasons y i spend
1 - because i dress like an adult, and pple think i'm 20+, so they gimme more respect, esp nasty sales girls. so therefore i got tendency to look at things and scrutinise and act like i 'can buy and sell the place so kiss it'. <- madamoiselle morissette

2 - i like to act like a tai tai.. therefore, i always carry my bag like *duh* a tai tai, u know near the elbow on the arm.. muahaha.. so i think i very got 'say' ahaha.. no link..

3 - i walk with my head held high. yah i know. but it's unconscious. so therefore to my tai tai theory, i think i got class and therefore loaded with ka-ching! to spend and spend and spend

4 - since i earn a salary, yah lah only a bit lah, i think "yay! my OWN money! my OWN thing! yay" very shiok to 'reap the froots of ur labour' u know..

so. anyway wutever! ahahahahahha i just love looking ard at things.. got any job related to that not? so i know what to do with my future. maybe be a personal shopper? hahahah

budden i'll think properly before i buy, so it's rather justified. but then. IT'S A LOT OF MONEY LAH! knn... sigh. and the PC fair is onnn.. and i wanna get a portable hard disk.. sobsob..

so. anyway m)phosis should give me a membership. i have dropped by like so many times, altho........




i bought like 4 items. dammit. gimme gimme gimme!!!

and i love it that when i talk to pple whom they think i'm much older and their expression goes, " wah! only 20 ah!" i shall take that as a compliment, cos i am mature. muahahah..
tho it also means i look old. shit. but i am MATURE. wahahha..

and today!! so funny.. was listening to power 98 cos that's the only station that i can listen to in the office cos of reception probs.. and there's this prog where u be caller no. 9, tell them waht's the answer to the song they play (by coldplay) and u can stand to win coldplay's new album! so there i was, 2 plugs in my ear, one the handset to the handphone and the other to the walkman.. redial .. redial redial.. redial.. took forever, then finally!!! someone answered!!! mario!!! i was like 'oh my gosh!!! i won!!!" i tot he was doing a recording, asked me for my name, what's the answer, blah blah .. and he was like ' you're caller no. 7!" doot doot doot.. -_-
warau. i didn't even have time to respond and he put down the phone. waRAU!!!!! i was so excited by heartbeat was like 200 per min i could feel my heart pounding and my hands were ShAKInG.. shaking i tell u..
then. DOOM! byebye! k lah. i was 'lucky' to even get thru..

but i tell u lah.. cheap thrill.. tho i can save like 20 bucks.. hahahahha.. yay! will try again and again.. tomorrow bring all coldplay cds to work to check out all the song titles.. !!! yay!!!
anyway Coldplay's new song 'Speed of Sound' is fantastic. typical Coldplay if u ask me, but still fantastic..

toodles!!
