Murphy's Law

Ok,, so I didn't get many invitations this year to attend wedding dinners. A blessing, really. And considering I already have 6(!!) confirmed invitations next year. Year 2009 will be year of angpows-giving.

However, I have one dinner coming up this Saturday nite, which is only 2 days away..And yes, when you're really looking forward to something, the universe will conspire in all ways to ruin it for you...

For at this moment, I have a few HUGEEEE-ass pimples sitting on my face. I do normally get pimples, but not pimples relatively as big as Jumbo Jets..! Sigh, to think that i have to lug them to the dinner and have these suckers captured forever in photos..:-(

Now u know..

Reason to be super duper hardworking during appraisal month: Destitution might drive one to prostitution..:-PPPPP

Bah, humbug..

So uninspired..so I'll rant again..hehe..its my blog and i can rant if i want to..:-)

Well, for one, I hate the traffic. They say you'll get used to the traffic, jams and all, after a while. Fat chance, i still hate it even after i've been stuck in it hundreds of times. My leg gets tired and all other road users are still idiots (ok, so they probably drive better than me most times, but they're the ones who just had to be on the road with me at the same time thus jamming the roads thus are idiots). I have to plan all my schedules around traffic peak times and it disrupts my hip and happening life!! Hahha, ok, mayb i dont have a hip and happening life, but hey, mayb i would if traffic is smooth all day all hours...:-P

I don't like the new Digi ads as well, the ones with the ducks. I loved the Olympics ads where the Yellow man was so cute...but the ducks? Trying to be too cute and too funny, which everyone knows that if you try to hard, the humour just wont be there. So i say..bring back the simple and effective Yellow man....

Then i found out why the camping chicks are such airheads!! Coz they're air stewardessess!!! U know, the new ad showing how they were late to the airports. Hahha, i'm so politically incorrect, but hey, sue me.

Hmm, wat else that i've noticed lately? mmm...oh..the Tiger ad thats showing in cinemas is not bad. That one showing the 2 guys competing on who can get the more Tiger beers...I'd love to spend some time on the beach with that two..haha..

Ok, enuf ramblings...not so much ranting this time huh..Have a good Thursday...:-)

How in the brew hell.....

So amidst all the rantings and the emotional roller coasters lately, I've managed to gain weight! Fecking amazing! Maybe i'm just destined to be a 'bulat'..

Oh, bugger...

We really cannot eat anything these days. Ok lar, cannot eat anything from China at least, if you really must eat...



I bought this good tasting biscuits a while ago, finished bout 90% of it, and wham, received a forwarded mail and saw this report from Singapore...melamime detected in certain products, and yep, my biscuits in the list...



This is how it looks like..



Tomato flavour, quite yummy actually...



Details of it:-

Silang - House of Steamed Potato –
Potato & Tomato Cracker
(Made in China)
Melamime level detected.8.1 ppm



Dont think the level is tat high...(the White Rabbit candy's level is 67ppm to 160ppm, btw).. And you'd have to consume large quantities of it to be of harm. Hundreds of packets at least..



And the thing is I had given out the biscuits to other ppl to eat too, most notably is CY and my colleagues..aiks...so now i cant forward the mail out to them, or they might accuse me of poisoning them.. Really din mean to, peeps, I ate the bulk of the biscuits, so i;m the biggest victim here. Forgive me k...okay...now, who wants some unlabeled white milky candies with soluble/edible wrappers that i bought for 99 cents a carton from the nice lady with the beijing accent?? Factory overrun, she said. Wat a bargain!:-p

Nutcase Ramblings

Feeling absolutely like shit. Cant concentrate on anything, except mayb moping and be depressed. Sucking on this HOneyStix that Yshin bought from Singapore and left at my hse. Tastes like shit too..hahah...Its better if its just honey, but they mixed it with other flavours like plum and peach. Don't buy it even though it sounds delish, honeybabeh. Tat's why he left the whole packet in my ex hse. Huh.

Tis post doesnt intend to make any sense, only meant to be therapeutic to me and me alone. So if u're confused later, don't blame me..

Well, tis is aredi October 2008. Why does life has to be such a bitch and throw more and more challenges to our faces when we get older? Sure, c'est la vie, but does it have to be like tat?? Can't things just get simpler once in a while??? Like, I've read all these articles in National geographic and reader's digest and these ppl who were interviewed were always saying "From that moment i held the baby elephant's feet/touch the horse's placenta/dig up corpses(mummies/corpses the same la) in the Valley of the Corpses (sori, Kings)/ saw her face in the crowd, I KNEW IT!

I wanna be a podiatrist (foot doctor, i googled it so u dont have to)/horse midwife/undertaker/stalker. " And they went on to say how much joy their job gave them, how they're goin to do it for the rest of their life, nothing else they wan..You get the picture..

Why cant I have tat?? Why cant I be sure of my true calling in life? Why all the searchings of the soul, the doubts, the insecurities, the fears, the moments of near truths and never full truths. Are all these needed? A wise man told me that without all the bitterness in life, we wouldnt know the sweetness. And i told him I KNOW all the sweetness, I really can do without all the bitterness. We all drink WONG LOU KAT even though its bitter ONLY because its good to our bodies, not because we need the bitter to tell us that chrysanthemum tea taste sweet. NOw, now, dont tell me that the challenges are like wong lou kat, we have them because they're good to us. In wat sense? So tat i;ll be tougher? Be more mature? Be more wise? Then everyone should spend a year in prison or sleep on the streets then everyone will be the model citizen. NO, the truth is ppl get broken down, gets disappointed, lost their sense of purpose because life dealt to them blow after blow...

Okay, now u'll say tat i'm not a prisoner, nor am i a homeless person, i have much to be thankful about, I should say my blessings every single day, and I AM thankful, I AM blessed with certain things, does that mean I cant show my vulnerability? I cant mope? I can't bitch about the bitchiness of life?

Sigh...much ado about nothing, really, coz tis time tomorrow I'll still go to work, trying to please bosses and clients while trying to be friendly to coworkers, I'll still be another worker ant trying not to get squashed, I'll still be yearning for a simpler life, I'll still be wishing I have Keeley Hazell's body (although I doubt I'll have a simple life if I have her body), I'll still be yakking with Annie on msn whenever we can snake, I'll still be silly and immature and watch Entourage with Yshin, I'll still be giving all sorts of wrong (Petronas was just by the mosque near KLCC right??Remember the taxis lining up for NGV previously?) directions to people and I'll still love those who are dear to me...I lap u!! :-)

I've finished the honeystix and am now munching on wasabi peas instead..Whoa,,,HELPPP...I CANT BREATH!!

Oh wait, that was just wasabi attacking my nose..See, still silly...bitterness (or wasabi) can't eradicate my silliness..So all in all, i'll rather do without more bitterness, thankyouverymuch. U cant suffocate me, wasabi!

The boring 100th Post

I realised tis is my 100th post and had wanted to do something special. But alas, I just dont have the time with all the house shifting business and being technically homeless and all, and furthermore my thumbdrive is infected with Ebola or something so i cant upload my photos.

So in the meantime, just make do with this stupid lawyers joke k.

*********************

One afternoon a wealthy lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man 'Why are you eating grass?

''We don't have any money for food,' the poor man replied. 'We have to eat grass.

''Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you', the lawyer said.'But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree'.

'Bring them along,' the lawyer replied.Turning to the other poor man he stated, 'You come with us also.'

The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, 'But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!''Bring them all, as well,' the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, 'Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.

'The lawyer replied, 'Glad to do it. You'll really love my place; the grass is almost 1 metre high!'

Lesson : Don't trust kind lawyers!!!!

Well, well, Don't worry, my place only has cactus instead of grass....:-D
