Sandman’s Acoming…
Sunday, October 29th, 2006I know I should be sleeping..but I have already worked my way to Vol 9 of the Sandman Series. Just gets better and better!!!!!!!
Now for The Wake. *bows head*
Guilty confession: I used to have a crush on David Bowie when I was young. I watched him do his thang in the Labyrinth and pre-pubescent me was already dreaming about "funny" things. I think I have the same crush on Dream, like right now…*grin* Anyone else out there feel the same? *woot*
100th Post!
Friday, October 27th, 2006Heyhey, I actually cared enough about this blog to reach a whopping 100 postings! *self congratulate*
On a another note, I have been thinking about two things: (1) My 21st birthday
For many of you who knew me, it was just another routine coming-of-age celebration. But for those who knew, it was practically one of the worst days of my life. I was so tired and torn and hurt, that the birthday almost meant nothing, if not for the fact that my friends were there. I could never have imagined that my 21st birthday would turn out to be a horrible memory, and I wish oh-so-often that it didnt happen the way it did. At least, it was memorable I suppose *smile* Why did I choose to bring it up? Because I think its time for me to get over it. And also my birth month is impending *grinnudgewink* This has been on my mind occasionally and more so recently, because (I would like to think) that I was basking in the irony of becoming an adult. I made silly choices that year, hurt loads of people and there I was "celebrating" my adulthood with cake and forced smiles.
Point is, I hated my 21st birthday. And I want to have a better one. *determined look*
…………..
Second thing messing up my insides: (2) Wee Shu Min saga
Its kinda sad to see young people have such elitist attitudes. I mean, we all had our own cliques and groups of friends, but to be biased to this degree is really startling. I never want my kids to turn out the way she did, and if they ever become like that I would definitely NOT defend her the way her father did. Mr Wee’s reponse to the situation was entirely unapologetic and aloof and did nothing to alert her to the error of her perceptions. At the most, it taught her to keep her "brutal truths" to herself and not so much that her truths were (1) unfounded (2) lopsided. GAWD! If you saw the infamous blog post and the responses after, you would be overwhelmed by the insensivity and callousness (from author and readers alike) More importantly, you begin to see the invisible cracks that permeate every part of our social structure. Most of us take it for granted, but (and for once I agree with the Old Man) the cracks are there and we must do something to make sure it doesnt worsen. (Well of course, the methods the gahmen uses are somewhat *aheam* but anyway)
Although I admit that Ms Wee is unfortunate, but she shouldn’t be allowed to run away like that. Her comments may reflect a problem larger than her, but because she started it she has to end it. I think, for the situation to better, is for her to issue an apology to Derek Wee first for her ridiculous and totally undeserving insults. For her to say sorry, is to acknowledge that Derek Wee is a person as much as she is. She should then address her apologies to everyone else. For her to say sorry to them, is to let others know that she understands the gravity of the situation as much as she understands how her attitudes can affect others. If two Chinese citizens can be jailed for sedition (for "threatening the social fabric of our country"), why can’t some people see that she has to say sorry? *frown*
Anyhow, I do hope that she does not become the person everyone thinks she is going to be. She is still young, and people should give her the benefit of the doubt.*sigh*
So much for a 100th post. I promise something funnier next post!*grin* Good morning loves!
*Grin*
Monday, October 16th, 2006Sorry for the lack of updates. Here’s one (in a verbal vomitage):
Flew to Shanghai. Took photos of cute modelly people. Went to cool bars. Fell sick. Back to Singapore. Fell sick. Again. Hit 40 degrees. Got knocked out for 3 days.
Now THATS a summary for you. And now on day three of Operation "KTFF" (K-ILL the F**KING FEVER), I am up (well, half-up) and saying ‘Hi’ to all of you. *Grin* Unfortunately, I missed out on the Young and Wild showings on Saturday and Sunday, as I was at home vomiting & shivering my ass off *sigh* I worked so hard for it, such a pity that I couldnt show off my talent *flip hair and flutter eyelashes* Hope you Young and Wild peeps had fun..miss you guys already. See you Wednesday!
Anyhow, I gotta go take my meds. See ya when my lights are on.

I just realised…
Sunday, October 1st, 2006(1) That my most popular post, with a grand total of 7 comments, is the one about me getting into the semi-finals for Travel and Living Asia. Really, thank you guys all for the support and congratulations. Totally appreciate it! *hugs*
(2) That my second-most popular post,with a grand total of 5 comments is the perverse one about Disney (What is wrong with you people *shakehead*)

(4) That powdered tomato soup tastes just like…powder. Eech
(5) That "Hot Yoga" actually means "Yoga in a Hot Room" *laf*
(6) That some people’s bodies are extremely and inhumanely flexible (who ever knew people could bend like THAT *big eyed*)
(7) That Golf is extremely boring at 3am in the morning

(9)That i am very poor. Very.
(10) That I have officially become a "Full House" junkie. Can someone please tell me if they got together? The suspense is just tooo-oo much!*twist fingers*
And will you all please cross your fingers and spit a little a prayer for me? I am waiting for something big to come, and rather then jinx it…I’ll let you know when and if it happens. *cross fingers*
Bye for now!
