solitaire

went to tonkichi at shaw house yesterday. everyone was queueing to wait for a table. there were about 10 people in the queue at least. as all the eyes were looking into the restaurant, waiting to see which table has already finished eating and was about to leave, nobody would have missed seeing this girl who was seated all alone in a table meant for 4.

there were 3 menus on her table, although only 1 cup of ocha. she took her time to slowly scrutinise the menu. item by item, word by word, picture by picture. not a single item on the menu was left unnoticed. in between takes, she glanced at her mobile occasionally to see what the time was.

after what seemed like 10 minutes of scrutinisation, she raised her hand and called for a waitress to take her order. she ordered a special bento set which seemed like a lot of food for one to finish. well since all the items were about the same price, maybe that's why she wanted to order a variety of stuff in a set.

she made a phone call, was smiling when she was on the phone, then put down the phone.

she tried to pass her time by playing with the games in her phone. one game after another, she played. a quick 10 minutes passed, and the food was on her table. she paused her game and took a glance at the time again. what probably seemed like 30 minutes of waiting (i reakoned she queued just as long as the rest in the queue), after her food arrived, there she was, still seated all alone in that big table.

people in the queue were getting impatient. the restaurant was packed to the brim, people were having their dinners, and what were the wait staff thinking when they gave her a table for 4 when she clearly was the only one seated at the table with her food?

bad management. we must complain.

some gave her wierd stares, some gave her puzzled looks, some just tried hard not to laugh at her.

but then again, maybe there were some other "things" which we can't see, but she could? hmm. something to ponder about, eh?

she made another phone call, gave an impatient face, then put down the phone.

she looked at her food, and decided that she should go ahead with the meal instead. the food was nicely displayed. she started with the miso soup, then proceeded onto the potato salad. just when she was about to dig into the pretty japanese fish cake, her phone rang.

she boggled at the number shown on the caller id, it probably was a number that didn't have a name attached to it. she picked up, answered some questions, then put down the phone. she made another call just after that, and chatted along as she ate her food slowly.

slow and steadily, she ate part by part of her bento. she finished the tamagoyaki (fried egg - it's a very expensive dish these days!) from the appetiser then continued over to the buckwheat noodles, otherwise known as soba. she was half way through her full course meal, and it took her an amazing 20 minutes to reach there since the start of her breaking the chopsticks. even the family of 4 who were right before her in the queue had gotten around to the cashier to pay their bill!

time check - 50 minutes since the time she stepped into the restaurant until then. she put down her phone, glanced at the time, then made another phone call.

"walking over now from the underpass? you've been saying that you're going to walk over since 30 minutes ago!", everyone heard her exclaim. she proceeded to put down the phone, sighed, then continued eating her food slowly.

she carried on with the miserly 3 thinly sliced pieces of unagi and her gohan(otherwise known as rice, haha!). she sure looked like she was counting her grains while she ate.

whenever she heard footsteps from the entrance, she looked up, only to one's dismay. i felt sorry for her, but yet i couldn't do anything about it.

after 1 meat-stuffed mushroom, 1 deep fried prawn, 1 piece of deep fried pork loin, 484 grains of rice, 3 slices of unagi, 32 strands of soba, 1 boiled prawn, 2 pieces of tamagoyaki, 2 slices of fishcake, 63g of potato salad, her friends weren't here yet.

she decided to start on her dessert instead. everyone could see that she was bored. she even counted the 11 seeds that she picked out from the 3 slices of watermelon!

alas, after 1hr 9mins 27s, her friends arrived glamourously (and not the least bit remorseful, mind you) at last.

"who are these friends in question?", you ask. they are none other than xuelin and brandon.

"oh, and the pathetic girl?", you probe.

YOURS, TRULY.

fats

due to men, or the lack of, steff was very busy because she has become excessively obsessed with making herself more attractive to the opposite sex.

she's now on a major diet which consists of veggies (you never dreamt i'd eat them, eh?), tofu, carrots, and all kinds of fruits (except the one that looks like the esplanade, of course).

no diet is complete without exercise. she has taken to doing all kinds exercises she dreads like crunches (argh), hula hoops, water bottle weights, and swimming.

fwah, if that wasn't enough to fill up her already-packed schedule, she has also taken to lying to everyone that she is on a diet, but in actual fact, she isn't.

haha.

fooled ya guys! :P

oops! eeks! ahh! ooo!

i was asked to join multiply.com a few weeks ago by a friend.

was kinda skeptical about joining (yet another) site which promises to ease away the "trouble" of constantly having to keep in contact with your friends whom are so-near-yet-so-far away.

well, this shit's a killer i tell you.

or a dead giveaway.

whatever you may call it.


Lethal Weapon

look who has been viewing my profile!

didn't realise that there was this statistics feature of the site until a few days ago. now i think twice before i click on someone's face.

at least you know you've caught my eye when i've gone into your site! kekekekeke...

oops! i just gave myself away! :P

all's fair in gambling

been too lazy to type my blog post... heehee.

so since i'm STILL quite lazy, i shall just summarise what happened on the dreadful last sunday night.

jason (ford boy) kissed my ass.

er... not literally. we were doing our rounds (driving around lah) in orchard that very night after the wedding dinner i attended. so since we were all trying to catch up with the car in front, we had to go quite fast, amidst the many other "tiong chias" along orchard road.

yup, on 8th august every year, if you were to go down to orchard, you would be able to see thousands of "tiong chias" (or modified cars as they are known to the unheard of) racing along the orchard gudang track. this stretches all the way from tanglin to dhoby ghaut. NICE. :)

so we were indeed going quite fast at the s-curve just outside park mall. just after we exited the s-curve, jason (garfield) had to brake a fair bit because it was red light already in front. now at this point in time, i had to also step alot on the brakes too.

then suddenly, jason (garfield) just jammed on his e-brakes.

HA HA HA.

thank goodness my brake pads weren't that worn out yet. i jammed on my e-brakes too, and managed to stop barely before i was about to hit his car.

MAGNIFICENT!

a split second later, i got thrown forward.

you guessed it. jason (ford boy) didn't manage to stop his car in time, and his car hit my car.

apparently, he was concentrating on why the wrx behind was "pushing" him, and forgot to look in front. when he did, it was too late, and he hit my car's backside.

HOW DUMB CAN THAT BE?!

so he offered to settle it privately, and after discussing with my dad, we decided that the best place to do it at is at mazda motors.

yay. :) so i get a new bumper change, a new exhaust, a new muffler and probably a new boot. oh, and he's providing me with a spare car to use during the 5 days that the repair work's gonna take. how sweet!

i have to say this - mazda's really inefficient because the fastest date they can get my car done is only on monday! (imagine i actually went down on tuesday...)

what the heck, as long as i can get my car done up the way it was before, i'm happy.

BAH! i forgot to buy 4D!!!

*~*


won money in mahjong on thursday night and friday night. :D

does that mean that my love life is really gonna take a bad path?

i'm superstitious! (can't help it when i, an old spinster, have been cursed to not find a proper bf nor stay in a relationship for long...)

did someone voodoo me?

me.

how well do YOU know me?

at a glance, you may think that i'm proud and unsociable.
after i warm up, you may think that i'm this crazy bitch who's loud and blunt.
when you get to know me better, you may think that i'm a person who's very "easy" (if you know what i mean).

contrary to popular belief, i am everything but.

i wonder how come i always get misunderstood.

i look icy when we meet. even my pictures do not depict me as someone whom you'd want to approach if you see me on the streets. you'd want to stay clear of my path, in case i bite. which of course, is not what it is. i am merely weary of the people i meet. strangers can be very scary.

i do not despise people who speak broken english, neither do i despise people of a different race. being in IJ has taught me how to live in perfect harmony with everyone. all you racists should be ashamed of yourselves!

i am slightly on the noisy side when you get to know me better. thank goodness i don't spew vulgarities like what i do right here. then again, i don't know what happens when i get drunk. hahaha. *flutters eyelids*

being straight and direct in my comments means you should be thankful that i am a true friend. i don't lie because it plainly isn't necessary to cover up facts. you deceive yourself into thinking that the lie is a white one. of which, is clearly not.

no matter what you all think, i am not easy. no, no. i am definitely not. i will argue that point until my last breath! i admit that i am comfortable when i'm around with men. in fact, some mistake me for their "buddy". see how "MAN" i am? hahaha.

see what i mean? i am seriously not doing myself justice! God, help me!

*~*


Of The Men I Attract

people read my blog and go, "hey, this girl is so truthful with her comments about (her) life. she's so-so looking, but that doesn't really matter. what matters most is that she seems easy to shag. so i'll try my luck anyway."

yeah, this was a quote from a good friend of mine, whom after reading my blog told me this.

am i *seriously* giving people the wrong impression? GET LOST ALL YOU PERVS! i don't like it when people treat me as a play-thing.

i am not a fucking swinger so can you guys just get lost?!?

"i applaude you for being this honest in your blog. it's entertaining to read. only one bad thing though. when i read it, people are given the perception that you are someone who's high-maintainance and cheap." says mr super yee.

RIGHT. quite a contradictary statement, but anyway... so i should be less direct, less honest, and less...what??

i have said it over and over again. i am NOT high maintainance! i pay for my own stuff, HELLO?! 'nuff said.

what's worse... i am attracting bad boys! which is bad, because i always get cheated in the end.

come to think of it, it's good. cos i fancy them. hahaha. ok, that's kinda out of point. but truthfully speaking, if the guy's too good, hardly ever will i enjoy going out with him. these goody-two-shoes are too boring for me!

i live life on the edge.

CHEERS!

busy as a bee

sorry guys, i didn't manage to post on saturday or sunday cos i was kind of busy. forgive me!

*~*


SATURDAY'S HAPPENINGS

woke up in a daze cos i slept so late in the wee hours morning, but still managed to wake up at 12pm. hanged around at home until i had to go church at 6pm. went to church, then took a bus to xuelin's place. (had to take a bus because my dad wanted to use the car, damn it i hate public transport!)

had a nice dinner of shepherd's pie, cooked with love, care and concern by xuelin! heehee.

jason (ford boy) came to pick us up after dinner to go fishermen's village.

nothing much at fishermen's village. hmm... blah blah.

jason (ford boy) sent us to my place, then i drove out to have supper with xuelin at the sisscors cut curry rice at jalan besar. boring night. we went to mustafa centre after that to do some midnight shopping, then went back home.

see, i told you it was a boring night, but i didn't say why i went to mustafa in the middle of the night, right?

*~*


SUNDAY's HAPPENINGS

truth hurts

i KNOW that you guys are like scolding me stupid and stuff. i KNOW that you all are hoping that i'll get back on track fast. i KNOW what i should do.

i'm better off dead.

JUST KIDDING! :)

i mean, can't anyone understand that as much as i know what i should do, "the flesh is willing but the heart is not" describes it all?

*~*

i'm feeling those stabs in my heart again. the devil has come again for me. i hate this feeling. i really hate it!

emotions can't be controlled. so what can i do, except to grin and bear it?

don't tell me this is retribution.

don't tell me.

my inner self

i await the time when my it gets the better of me;
i seem confident on the outside, but here i am, trembling inside;
is it really the end, or perhaps just a short vacation?

faith came to meet me today;
she did some pushing somewhere;
give me false hopes and such.

she brought along a friend;
his name is disillusioned;
he blocks my view and stands hand-in-hand with faith.

wait, this is where reality stepped in;
she shook me hard and gave me a slap;
it woke me up.

alas, courage, come forth and do me proud;
i need you to stand tall and strong;
let not others bring me down, for i am undeterred.

all cares about pride and disillusioned love should be thrown aside;
i will bring logic along with me to aid me in my talks;
and turtle my dear, may the devil take your soul away.
