309

the repetition of two 309 on Friday night was an amusing coincidence.
behind both 309 tells an extraordinary tale.

logically and intuitively.
I know things wouldn’t work out.

time may prove otherwise.
and I hope it really does.

wait, wouldn’t it be easier if u just make it work?
tragically both 309 just wouldn’t.

please prove me wrong.
I wouldn’t like to say, “I knew it!”.

sweet shampoo

I always feel a warm bubble of joy when my loves comment on my shampoo. be it lost love or new love.

S, “why do u always smell so sweet?”
(whenever he rest on my head in the past)

E, my ex of 2 years, comment that I never seem to change my shampoo. it had been 3 years since we walked separate ways. it’s amazing how E remembers the smell of my hair.

R, “I love your smell.”

J, “I love the smell of your hair” and asked, “What shampoo do u use?”.

I must be crazy to blog about the shampoo or smell of my hair. but after using the same shampoo for 7 years. I had been forced to switch brands because they changed their formula!

Digital Fantasy

The time spent using our technological toys is often time spent away from social contact with significant people in our lives. This can strain relationships and produce disconnection with those we count on for support, affection, and love.

(Rothwell, 2004, p. 267).

Falling in love with a digital fantasy, rather than the real person that lives and breathes behind the monitor, is a common pitfall of net-inspired affairs.

(Tamosaitis, 1995, p.46).

Love is a flesh and blood attraction between people, not a disembodied electronic fantasy.

(Rothwell, 2004, p. 269).

Sometimes, there simply is no substitute for personal, face-to-face contact, as anyone who has tried to conduct a long-distance relationship can attest.

(Rothwell, 2004, p. 270).

last night..

last night,
when walking down the stairs in the dark.
he reached out and said,
“don’t worry. just hold my hand.”

I was told for the first time that I look cute in glasses.

a beauty – KIA Concept No. 3

i know i really lag very badly when it comes to cars.
but i really really really must talk about this beauty.
which was shown to the world in March this year at the Geneva Motor Show.

KIA CONCEPT NO. 3

let’s hope it will go into production.
sighs. why do i always fall in love with concept cars?

anyway, i was thinking about getting Rio (hatchback).
but yesterday, i found out there are no new ones for sale anymore.
much less in a couple of years. =(

but i really really really must talk about this beauty.

Sunday = Shopping Day

FIRST ITEM BOUGHT: CAR

in the morning, we headed to KIA’s showroom at Alexandra Road.
after spending an hour inside, dad decides to buy the Cerato Forte 1.6 SX (A).

am no car whizz, so i am unable to explain on the technical aspects of this vehicle.
however, im really impressed with the overall performance.
especially the sound system!

now dad’s just waiting for the loan approval.
(which i dont really wish would go through,
because i very much prefer for him to save up some money for his retirement.
instead of buying a new car at his age.)

SECOND ITEM BOUGHT: MASSAGER

my mom’s old OTO trimax broke down yesterday,
so we went to both OTO and OSIM to check on their slim belts.

i must say i was very impressed with OSIM’s uKimono at S$328.

OTO’s Trimax TX-908 (only vibrates) was S$238 (if i didnt remember wrongly, it was in the 2-range) and comes with a free gift that is a handheld device (i think) that targets cellutlite.

advantages of uKimono over Trimax:
1. it has kneading action (that felt damn good), which u can select to just vibrate, knead or both at the same time
2. the casing was “cloth” instead of the leather that will also flake off like i had encountered in Trimax
3. there are 4 auto selection for, tummy, butt, thighs and lumbar

evenutally, i bought it at OSIM as a little gift to mom, because the service was so much better too!
when i stepped into OTO, there were 2 service staff.
1 whom served us, and spoke softly (without explaining to us the features except shoving the piece of paper with all the information into our hands).
the 2nd one sat on the massage chair and chatted with a friend (i presume),
and both service staff no. 2 and the friend just kept staring at us. -.-”
in summary, it was fucking annoying.

pps. i had a backache and laid on the uKimono, and the backache totally eased (even though this wasnt one of the features they advertised).

THIRD ITEM BOUGHT: 2010 ORGANIZER

great, i finally bought something for myself.
a S$3+ organizer (that is oh-so-tiny-and-cute), that i have always wanted. lol.

Luxe (super mini) 2010 Organizer

it really feels good to grow up, earn your own money and spend it wherever/whenever your like.
i feel very strongly about this whenever i walk into a candy store.

The Wonder of Words

“The choice of what words we may use determines what dreams we are able to express.”

- Gloria Steinem, author and activist

“A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought, and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used.”

- Oliver Wendell Holmes, physician, poet, and humorist

“We will try to persuade with our words, but if our words fail, we will try to persuade with our acts.”

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

ps. did u know that how funny a joke is varies from culture to culture?

searching for “Combien tu m’aime?”

i displayed “combien tu m’aimes?” on my msn.

this morning, my amoureux secret asked.
*Combien je t’aime?

yes, i wished u had said yes. lol!
really need to attend school for french lessons.

then he carried on with “you have another french lover ? lol”

-.-”

–

anyway, it’s about this movie,

Combien tu’maime? (How much do you love me?)
released in 2005 that im trying to find.

that’s all. lol.
it’s friday. im cranky.

the sorrow of being treated like an Out-Group

back in class, i learnt something about being in the In-Group or the Out-Group.
today, i was triggered to believe that i belong to the Out-Group in this certain “group”.
and there goes a post filled with anger and i cant be bothered about what will happen later.

there’s always some birthday celebrations.
planned for the after work hours.
but, it was always chosen on the days that i have classes to attend.

they just so happen to cant compromise.
because on the other remaining weekdays.
someone else has class to attend, or they just dont want to change the dates.

the best part is, theyd tell me not to go to school.
hello. im paying about 20k for a degree.
ure only paying a couple of hundreds for some stupid lessons.

now?
u guys are even suggesting that i cancel my already paid for air tickets to China.
to join u all in a fucking trip to Bintan?

are u stupid or stupid?
now i totally understand what is it like being in the Out-Group.
btw, spare me ur hypocrisy.

dont invite me anywhere anymore.
i am sick of this cb-ness.
no friendship to talk of, purely work from now.

the above incidents just make me feel so young and childish all over again.
oh damn.

(ps. just in case ure wondering, no. the group i talk about, is not my colleagues. my colleagues are far more understanding people.)
