Feel

Feel, in its most intimate and delicate moments, should always be that undercurrent that drives two strangers to one.

Okay, I think I got this quote off LJ endiings. Don’t know where it’s from though, but I like it.

Am getting better – at least I no longer get all depressed and whatnot over you!
If it’s anything, it’s just mild annoyance and a niggling sense of sadness at the back of my mind which I have (mostly) been able to cover up by doing other things. YAY.
And I can’t even be bothered to convince you of things anymore – guess I’m finally accepting the fact that you place importance on issues different from mine, and that you handle matters differently too.
Whatever. *shrugs*
At least (I think) my life doesn’t revolve around you anymore, unlike a certain loser.

P.S.
The last sentence isn’t sour grapes okay! I never said we aren’t together or anything!

Vampirefied

I was gonna title this post “Zombiefied” but decided that “Vampirefied” sounds cooler and suits me better (considering how I am a vampire – transformed by none other than the King of the Damned ).

Anyway, I’ve realised what my shopping spree was for – it’s really retail therapy lor!
Have just diagnosed myself with the Back-to-Work-Adjustment Disorder.
It’s pretty depressing cuz now that CNY is (almost) over, everyday seems like a Monday and it sucks going through Monday blues three days a week!
Calculated and holy shit - I have another 17 more working weeks to go!
That also means 85 more working days, or 850 more hours, or 51,000 more minutes, or… 3,060,000 more miserable seconds!
There goes half my youth. BAH.

Anyway, I am sooooo sleepy. Was attacked by a mosquito throughout the night yesterday and ended up not getting enough sleep!
Hate those stupid blood suckers. And it irks me even more when they keep buzzing around my ears cuz it’s like, you don’t know when they’re gonna sting you!
Urgh. Someone should invent a mosquito-killing robot which will kill those nasty little blood suckers soundlessly, and odourlessly.

Okay, I so totally have to go back to my report writing. The only thing I like about report writing is the formatting so it will look at least semi-professional!
Carrie’s staying over tonight and we’ll do our report together – just like the old times.
Can’t wait!

The best part of me is always you

 I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
But carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
Thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
Risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way

That this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

 - Pablo Neruda

The bimbo speaks

Life has been going smoothly lately (I guess), although it has been peppered with retards from time to time who either amuse or annoy  the hell outta me.
Whatever it is, one can always do with retail therapy, no?

Lunch hour shopping with Lynnette just now and I got a pair of pants and a skirt from bysi!
The stuff were on sale and i got them both at only $59 altogether – pretty darn proud of myself! And the material’s good too!
Of course, I think the mum’s gonna kill me when she finds out (and that’s not to mention the bomber jacket I just got from tracyeinny :/). She told me no more shopping after CNY but aiyah! A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.
*runs around in circles*
Shopping makes Alexis a happy girl – now all I need are new flats!
The Cotton On ones i bought sometime ago make my feet stink to high hell and back. Humongous turn-off please! :c
More shopping after work with Lynnette (haven’t hung out with her for ages), hopefully I manage to get some decent stuff to add to my work clothes wardrobe since I’ll be working for another 4 more months!
Tiring but gotta think about the money, and the hordes of stuff I can do with it.
Can’t wait to get my iTouch with February’s pay, yay!

Revenge is a dish best served cold

Ah, payback has never felt so sweet.
I’m kinda happy with the situation now, but hopefully karma won’t come and bite me in my ass.
Don’t think it will though, cuz truth be told? It really isn’t my fault.

Red

My 大姨妈 decided to partake in the festive cheer and visited me today. Kinda sucked cuz I ended up with a real bitch of a cramp the whole day!
The only good thing that came out of it was that I managed to bail out of dinner with dad’s friend and meet BB! <3

Anyway, the mum is really mean!
We went to Giant and I saw some ovens on sale and asked her if we could get one and she said that my interest will not last long and promptly turned down my request! :c
I wanna learn how to baakkkeeeeeee. I think I’ve kinda just entered the housewifey phase of my life, what with the sudden clearing of my room and these urges to learn how to cook/bake. :/
Maybe I’ll get an oven after getting my pay next month, then it’s yayzers for homebaked cupcakes and cookies (with BB as my guinea pig )!
Carrie ah I’ll need you to teach me though!

Okay great, cramp’s back. =.=
Off to rest!

IT’S CNY, BITCHES!

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!
My favouritest time of the year is back again – hello pineapple tarts, bak kwa, and another 23947829857198741 more fat rolls!
But whatever, I shall go on a salad diet after CNY! As for now, it’s gorge gorge and gorge.
3 places to visit tomorrow and I’m gonna be deadbeat. Hopefully the angpow takings make it worthwhile (though I seriously doubt so). Oh well, nevermind. *thinks about the food*
Dammit, I should really stop being such a glutton – my tummy’s growling already and that sucks big time!

Anyway, 7 more hours till I see the cousins, especially my 2 favourite newly-botak ones! Can’t wait. CNY’s my favourite period of the year because, good food aside, it’s an excuse to get new clothes and also one of the rare chances I get to meet up with the cousins.
5 more minutes till BB’s and my self-proclaimed bedtime. FINALLY, YAY! Goodnight people, and…

HAPPY NIU 牛 YEAR!

(=.=)

The Zebra Crossings

Joel and his Special Operations Command (SOC) friends started a band named The Zebra Crossings and I think they’re pretty good! The singer improved quite a lot since the last time I heard them jam too.
And the best thing is, their various musical influences come together to create a “sound that can be described as a bit of everything”.

Have a listen on their MySpace account! (WordPress is really annoying – I can’t seem to upload songs in my post and IMEEM doesn’t support embedding in WordPress, apparently. ROARRRR. But please don’t be lazy okay, click on the link! )

If you like them, become a fan on their Facebook page! Better yet, just become a fan lah! I created the page for them and it’ll be depressing (for us) if there are only few fans! So be nice and become a fan okay! <3 <3 <3

Do you remember…

Spring cleaned my room yesterday and today and truth be told, I’m pretty proud of how it turned out!

Found lotsa old stuff which I’d totally forgotten about, such as pictures from Primary/Secondary school, notes from my juniors/CDSec4 batch during 欢送会… and they really brought back lotsa memories; and traits which I used to have but which have long been forgotten. And people whom I no longer keep in touch with. Then again, there are tonnes of people who come and go in our lives. Maybe they once played a part in it, but hey, it’s tough trying to keep in touch with the 300 or more friends we know (in real life) on Facebook! The notes made me feel a little nostalgic, definitely, but aiyah I guess it can’t be helped!

Anyway, I found a photo album which contained photos of me trying to pack my room (but of course I failed) back in secondary school! The quality of the photo’s kinda lousy cuz I took a picture with my handphone camera. But please try not to cringe at the mess – it was the state of my room back then (and because of all the stuff that were placed on my bed, I used to only have half my bed to sleep on!).

Jialat right?! But then (I think) I got progressively neater as the years passed la, at least since Poly I’ve had the entire bed to myself (instead of sharing them with my stuff) when sleeping! I think starting work kinda helped though, cuz I get sudden urges to tidy up my room now. It’s either that or my mess has been moved to the work table at my office (I can’t read the papers without knocking over my water bottle *cough*). Anyway, look at my room now! It’s so neat I’m in love with it (and myself)!

HA-HA-HA. *runs around in circles happily* Can have sleepovers already! 2 more days to CNY – can’t wait to gorge on bak kwa, pineapple tarts, and the prawn roll thing! Hopefully the stupid sore throat I got 2 days back will be fine by Monday.

Okay, I should really go bathe. HUNGRY!

Nincompoop

I think I’m quite the retard. Either that or Starbucks really has something against me.
However, much as I’d like to go with the latter, I think the former is the truth. :c
I put soap and hot water into my Starbucks tumbler and shook the tumbler to clean it (because I just drank oats and you know how those tiny oats bits like to stick to your cup sometimes). So like, because the tumbler expanded and I couldn’t twist the cap open, I decided to open the mouth piece in order to let the hot air out first. Bad choice.
.
.
.
POOF. A jet of hot water + soap shot out at my face. :c
WAH KNN IT WAS DAMN PAIN SHOCKING I SWEAR. Had to run to the toilet to wash up (because it’s more private in there and no one will know what stupid thing I did). Ended up with a patch of red on my face which lasted for about ten minutes (okay lah thank goodness it was only 10 minutes but it was SO embarassing thank goodness none of my colleagues were anywhere near me then!).
This has never happened before lor I swear. Usually when I just put hot water and shake the tumbler it is FINE. I think the stupid mama lemon soap must be super gassy or something. Made me feel so stupid. :c
Whatever. Hate starbucks. Hate mama lemon. Hate hot water. BAH.

On a less angsty note… IT’S CNY IN 3 DAYS!
*jumps around and squeals excitedly*
Bought my new year clothes for $10 apiece at BUGIS STREET. Love that place so much (that is, besides the crowd). It is so much better than overrated City Plaza which is a freaking rip-off I swear!
I saw this pretty maxi dress which I nearly wanted to get – and it turned out to be $400 bucks. YES I KNOW, WTF RIGHT?! Hello I think the cost price is probably $10ish or so. I hope that stupid shop closes down soon – super dishonest owners who up the prices of their items by!
Anyway, I can’t wait to get angpows! Although the collection this year will prolly definitely be less than previous years, what with the financial downturn thing. :c
Urgh, of all times why must the recession happen now now NOW in MY generation?!

Money talk aside, life has been going pretty smoothly so far!
I hope things stay like this for awhile.
My BBSBB rocks, big time. <3
