resisting temptations

egad.. it's so hard to resist buying stuff online, especially when it's so much easier than gg out to the shops. and ESPECIALLY when it matches whatever u've been lemming for.
but luckily.. most of the time the things i want are so superkellyfragelisticespielidociously expensive that i get cheesed off from buying it.. *whew*

but nevertheless, the happy thought of me frolicking in the new top / playing with that silly apple plush toy makes me tempted to clickety click on the keyboard and ibanking device. hehe..

but i've set myself a new goal - that is to save up enough to get a pair of specs. :P
it's so hard to find a good pair, one that doesnt squeeze my head so much and doesnt lie so close to my face that my lashes become window-wipers. and the one im aiming for is a good whopping sum of monehhh.

haha so lets see, i've saved myself about US$100 for now. haha not that i've really really really wanted to get the online stuff :P it's opportunity cost!! ok i dunno what i'm talking about now tho. ta!!!

on being a woman

being a woman these days requires high maintenance. from your clothes, to your conduct, to what u eat, etc.. everything is more consciously considered, because all these will affect the way u look, the way u feel and the image u present to pple.

before i sound like im writing a thesis on being a woman / female / womyn for u feminists out there, lemme get to my topic and talk to u about hair.

yes hair. hair is so important to a woman and shares a love / hate relationship with the body.
where there needs to be hair, it needs to be lush and long or of appropriate thickness and length. where it's not supposed to be, aka societal norms, the hairless part of ur body must be as smooth as a baby's booty. dang bang it!!!

so. women resort to cutting, shaving, waxing, threading, plucking and all the various ways to get rid of hair / maintain it. and today, my topic is on plucking. owWW!! pain oww!!!

i just plucked what i felt like was 20% of my eyebrows and it's been 5 hours and area around my eyebrows still feel NUMB. why the hell was i plucking them??? cos they looked rather bushy from the lack of maintenance because of stupid submissions.

fyi.. plucking hair at different parts of the body produces different pain sensations.
for me.. the toes feel the MOST SENSITIVE. i break out in sweat and irritation everytime.
followed by the eyebrows - not as painful but the pain lasts longer.
and the armpits - the pain level feels therepeutic compared to the first 2.
and then come the legs. ahhh yes i wasnt born a leggy hairless ape.. and have to torture myself at waxing sessions or brave the unforgiving stares out in the streets because of my legs.

walau. i feel like im blogging to males. ANYWAY.. tmr i'll make an appt with Strip tmr.. egad!!!
i think it's been woahhhh like 9 bloody months since i've had my leg appts.. -_-"""
they'd better give me an experienced waxer tmr..

still thinking of a topic for lilian!!! eekazoidz!!!

procrastination is not a good thing

argh. the title says it all. i have a 2000 words assignment due on tuesday, not exactly a lot of words, and should be done in a jiffy, but my mood tells me otherwise and the whole thing DRAGS on and on and on.
boohoo..
after 10 mins of typing, my mind wanders off to check my yahoo mail, see what's new online, eat stupid fattening chocolates, play a stupid flying hamster game. arghhhh. and that typically lasts.. DAMN LONG. grrr.
i need a concentration course thing. ugh. after 4 years of doing something that i never really liked doing, i guess my brain, esp my mood is staging a strike. a major one. and i've got all these silly thoughts floating around, like how my dream home would look like, how i'd be so happy sewing silly creatures from my imagination, how nice aircon would be in this sucky hot and humid weather, etc. ANYTHING BUT WORK!!!
ugh ugh ugh.
rarrrr. ok i is not happies.
and i get these little bursts of motivation that quickly fades away.. where is the concentration i used to have?!? i could study for 4 hours straight and not realise how long i've been studying. yikes. need help.
*SCREAM*
and my hair!! my lovely beootiful hair is dropping like crazy!! why am i such a kancheong spider?! stressedddddd. need . therapy.

new home, secret hideout at amoy street

finally could get a day off from all the mess in school to see the man's new place yesterday..

they tried to get the balinese spa theme, but unfortch this means absolutely no clutter and everything is precisely arranged / controlled.

hehe, well u cant really expect non-family items considering it's not a new / newly-formed family :P

but it was a nice and cosy home, walls painted by the boys and dad, colours chosen by the man, great views since it's on the top floor.. the place was light and breezy, with the new wood furniture pieces.. it was great!~ hehe.. it was quite a luxury to see so much wood /teak furniture in one place. i felt.. envious!! haha.. and his mum was introducing the house to me.. haha well of course it's their pride and joy! :P and WOAHHHH i could see the CBD / city area from their window! *tho it's a small window* but nonetheless, wah!!! free fireworks liao~ the view was sightly reminscent of the view of melbourne from mt. dandenong.. like machiam gotham city..

this is the view from mt. dandenong

not long after watching a bit of spongebob, and shawn the sheep, we got down to tanjong pagar for dinner.. it was 9pm by the time we got there, partly cos of the stupid traffic and a little shopping diversion..
zi cha at amoy street hawker, the stall's on the second level and's called Le Tian *did i get this right dear?* this is about as much info as i can give u, any more questions and i'll carve ur skull and have ur brains for dessert.

so anyhow. we waited pretty damn long for our dinner.. and had rojak for appetiser, which also had mango in it! wow!! it was darn good too. it's 2 stalls down from letian. the best recommended dish was the chicken with spring onions. LITERALLY melt in your mouth. and got all of us shocked / in ecstasy *woah* and it was rather accidental cos the prawn paste chicken we wanted was OOS. (ok yah, i'm using online shopping jargon). oh i mean it was sold out. hahahaha. it left my brain for awhile. oh yah.. the jacket fish was damn good too~ it was fried but extremely tender :P so was the oyster omelette.. hehe.. fyi, oysters are my FAVE *meow* but bryan quickly gobbled it up. haha nm.. yup, so we had 6 dishes in all.. and 2 of them i couldnt eat cos one was crayfish and the other prawn.. -_-"""

ok i dunno how to end this post. seems rather abrupt. oh. and all that goodness for $54.. 6 pple, 6 dishes.. comes up to $9 each.. :) how they make money ah???

so aiyah ok lah. i'd better start cracking for research methodology 1. 2000 words. yuk. and i'm so bloody stressed over dissertation as well.. eek!!!!

Submission's over.
all i can say is, God has been really really good to me :)
updates later.
i need to recuperate my strength.. and sanity.

many thanks to norman dear for tolerating me, being my little model elf, staying in studio, etc.. mien for her magical pills and plastic which i only used a tiny teeny bit, joot for helping me with loads of stuff and clickety fingers when i had a fever.. and thanks to everyone who was nice to me even though i was cranky and snappy. heeheee :P

*edit*
ok.. i have almost forgotten how to blog, and i dont really feel in the mood to type things out. my head's still in a blur, being sick and all. and there's so many things to talk about that my head's blank.
hmmm..

the man just told me (last night) that he realised i have an "elfish bounce" whenever i walk.
i was like "huhhH??" well he basically means i have a spring in my step whenever i walk, be it whether im stressed or not. hmmmm. that's weird. i never knew that.
maybe it's just like how i never knew i had a rubber / animated face with exaggerated expressions till i was 20. -_-""" no wonder pple liked to ji3 xiao2 / make fun of me / annoy me for the fun of it. haiii.

post submission syndrome - i feel so lost not doing anything, yet im too tired to start doing anything. argh.. grrgrrr. cant wait for this stupid flu to go away, and my head to lighten and get pumped up to work again.

crit is on thurs.. 2-6pm.. pray for me!!! :X
