… and asked me if she looks like Claudia. HAHAHAHA.

I think her mouth too big, and Claudia looks cuter. HA!

What do you think?

Here I am updating ok?

And I’m here to tell you why I haven’t been updating.

BECAUSE OF HIM!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I’ve been watching 步步惊心 (bu bu jing xin) recently and every time he goes on screen, my heart melts. Every time he goes off screen and I see some one else, my heart hardens, and then he comes on screen and my heart melts again. HAHAHA.

Right now, my heart is in some random shape because of him. HAHAHA!

I haven’t finished watching, but it’s becoming damn draggy, and both Sissy Tan and Yeo Chengfeng are niao-ing me, so there.

And if you’ve seen my emo tweets on me ‘cry die me’, it’s because of this show, nothing to do with my emo-ness. =D

I am, however, pretty emo about a dress that I bought during Chinese New Year.

Random picture of my cousin’s son. Nothing to do with my dress.

I haven’t been shopping for Chinese New Year clothes for the longest time because I’ve been shopping online for the past few years. Though not for the occasion itself, I’ve always had enough unworn shirts to wear on the occasion itself. This year, however, I realised that I’ve got nothing to wear! (Because I haven’t been shopping online, and my existing unworn clothing are all in black.)

Therefore, sad me had to go for last minute shopping.

Now, I’ve been wanting to get a red dress for the longest time. Not just for new year, but… well. I just wanted a red dress. Since it was new year, I figured there’ll be plenty of red dresses, thus my search for red dress begun.

It was tough, though, to find a red dress to my liking. After shopping for what seemed like forever, with poor Otes following behind me, bored to death, I saw this dress on a mannequin that looks pretty good to me.

Desperate, I went into the shop. When I saw that it was $29.90, I thought: What a steal! A dress for $29.90 is pretty cheap, and it’s to my liking too!

After trying it out, Otes told me I look pretty good in it (tried one a few in other shops and he told me they are not nice.) and so I got it.

It comes with a belt, but the shop attendants paired the dress with another belt that looks nicer, and so I bought the belt too. The belt was $31, and I bought it because after adding the amount to the dress, it’s only $60, and a dress for $60 is pretty reasonable to me.

So while happily checking for defects on the dress after the cashier had keyed in and processing the transaction, something caught my eye.

The price tag.

The dress.

Is not $29.90.

It.

Costs.

$129.90.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Shocked beyond words, I whispered to Otes:

“OMFG. THE DRESS IS NOT 29! IT’S 129!!!”

Otes opened his eyes wide, and then kept snickering. -_-”

Later on, I found out that $129 is before the calculation of GST, and it’s actual cost is $138.

OH, KILL ME.

I wouldn’t have minded as much if it was from like, Mango or Dorothy Perkins, or some other brands with dresses around this price.

BUT THAT DRESS IS FROM LVER. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT BRAND IS THIS!? WHAT?! T.T

This is the dress is question.

You are to tell me it’s nice and it compliments me like nothing else, and I look like a fairy descended from the heavens, BECAUSE THIS DRESS IS $140.

*heartache*

After getting this dress, I told Otes I wanted to get a pair of shorts I saw earlier on, and it costs $39.90.

Otes had to rub it in and ask:

“You sure it’s not $139.90?“

…

=(

My dress is nice right? =(

Ok, needs something to make me smile.

Hehehe.

My horrible (or nice?) colleagues, Teng Feng and Yee Huan, offered to let me eat them. Here’s the conversation I had with Teng Feng.

I’m very hungry.
Nah let you eat me.
Let you be on your way to cannabalism.
What makes you think I’m not?
*surprise look*
You’re a piranha?
o.O Piranha is the fish right.
Ya. So you are the 美人鱼 (proper translation; mermaid. direct transalation [which I prefer]; Pretty lady fish. HAHAHA!) who eats human.

Yay!

我是美人鱼!

Can you guess it? =D

Apparently, he doesn’t really know the correct way to address his relatives in Chinese terms. Eg. Father’s elder brother = 伯伯

(Or in this case, Hokkien.)

“Si Ghim (四舅母) is your mother’s sister ar?“
“No. My mother’s brother’s wife.“
“You got no Ah Ghim meh? Your mother no brothers ar?“
“Got.“
“Her brothers all no wife ar?“
“Got.“
“Then how you address them?“

“Hello.“

Well, prior to my dear avid reader’s comment from my previous post, I must say I’m most flattered. =D

And to thank him for his support, and prove to him that my heart is in the right place (loving him), here are a few lot more pictures of myself. HAHAHAHAHA.

What’s even better is, I’ve decided to make them every larger than usual to make it a pleasure for him to scroll through.

HAHAHAHA.

I love you, too, Yeo Chengfeng.

Muacks.

I ended my 2011 with a bang!

Well, 2011 hasn’t been smooth sailing, neither had 2010, 2009 and 2008 (though I can’t really remember what happened much in those past years). Let’s face it, what kinda life doesn’t have ups and downs? Life is, after all, a roller coaster ride, right?

Doesn’t matter how bad anything has been. The important thing is, it’s over now. Moreover, taking recent events into consideration, I would say my 2011 has been a blast.

Check out the cartoon guy behind us! Haha!

We went over to The Arena just now, the cab queue back was crazily long. Even the hotlines were jammed! Thankfully, we were lucky enough to get hold of a cab. When we boarded, the cab driver told us that a lady had stopped him and told him that she was willing to pay him $10 extra (on top of all the other charges) if he let her on board. Thank God for honest cab drivers with integrity! =D Booking fee $2.50 nia. Don’t understand why the lady don’t wanna blast taxi companies. Singapore so many taxi companies!

Anyway, what I wanted to say was: MY CAB DRIVER ALMOST RAN SOMEONE OVER.

CHUA SAI!

Please refer to my picture above to see how the taxi almost ran a poor innocent pedestrian over.

He was turning, and instead of going the right way (green arrow), he literally drove up the curb (red arrow) and scared the shit out of the pedestrian!

I was asleep and woke up when the taxi driver slammed his brake and caused the taxi to jerk forward. Woke up to see the taxi on the curb, and a very angry pedestrian staring at the driver. (Fuck the pedestrian’s life. First day of 2012 almost kena bang.) I saw the angry pedestrian walking towards the taxi, like he was gonna confront the taxi driver. And instead of apologising, the taxi driver very nonchalantly just drove back to the right track and drove off sia! O.O

Ok the end.

I reached home at 0530 hours, but is heading out now at 0830 hours!

I’ve been awake since 2011! HAHA! Beat that!

Good morning!

HELLO HOLIDAY!

Don’t expect any entries in two weeks k?

I’ll try make it up to you when I’m back!

(Making up in terms of blogging to satisfy any hunger you have for my entries.  Don’t be expecting souvenirs, please. I know I mentioned I’ll be shopping up a storm, BUT IT’D BE FOR ME, NOT YOU. HAHAHAHAHA! Ok bye!)

There was a time when receiving even the most insignificant message from you would have been simply incredible — when it would have told me that, no matter what was happening, I still crossed your mind. Because as we all know, silence is the most brutal statement one can make. Screaming about how much you hated me or telling me I was ugly, well, it would have been tolerable. Hate and love are two sides of the same coin; the true opposite of love is apathy. And if you had screamed, I would have known that regardless of how hard you tried to convey your disdain for me, I still meant enough to you to write a few words, to make your sentiments known. But you remained silent, and so I shut up as well.

I don’t brag to be the most polite person, ever, of course.

Who am I kidding right? I scold nabeh cheebye and I point middle finger at people.

I am, however, very particular about the most basic courtesy of all:

The Please. The Thank You. The Sorry.

It IS basic courtesy to use please in a request, say thank you to a compliment, when someone has helped you, or when someone gifts you something, and apologises when you do something wrong.

I cannot fathom how anybody can NOT follow these basic rules of life, thus I get very anal about it when people doesn’t reciprocate or show basic courtesy towards me, or to people around me.

How many of you apologises to a child if you knock into him/her?

I was walking behind a mother and her child yesterday, and the mother was among the horde of people trying to get into the mall from the train station.

The girl was around 3 or 4 years old, and was very short. The mother was looking forward while holding on to her little hand. Because of the girl’s height, and the limited space amongst the crowd, many people who’s passed by the little girl would brush their hands against her head (messing up her neatly tied pony tail, bit by bit), or knock their bags on to her head.

It wasn’t the kind that would cause real pain, but I could tell that the girl was kinda disturbed, because she touches her head everytime someone brushes their hands against her head, and she’ll check back whenever a bag knocks on to her.

All these while, I never saw a single person apologising to her. I’m assuming, because the mother was oblivious to it, thus people conveniently thinks it’s ok to ‘bully’ a child, since she (probably) doesn’t know enough to get offended, or wouldn’t dare to be offended. Afterall, she’s just a child.

This raises another question in me.

If the mother does notice that you have knocked into her child, do you apologise to her, or her child?

I was thinking people would apologise to the mother, because even if the child wouldn’t mind, the mother might mind. But why? Why should you apologise to the mother when it’s the child that you’ve knocked into?

This morning on the way to work, I was seated on the train when a lady in front of me stepped on my foot. My eyes were closed, so she conveniently assumed that she didn’t have to apologise, even though I did move my feet, meaning to say I felt it.

She probably felt that I didn’t mind, since I didn’t bother to open my eyes, thus there was no need to apologise.

Fact is, I didn’t mind that she stepped on my foot. It was the not apologising that pissed me off. It doesn’t matter whether someone minds. You apologise when you are in the wrong. You don’t apologise because people mind that you are in the wrong.

After awhile, she stepped on my foot again, even though my feet weren’t sticking out in the crowded train. This time, I stared at her, but she nonchalantly continued to watch her bloody show on her bloody phone. I then folded my legs so she couldn’t step on my foot anymore.

After awhile, the person next to me got up and she rushed to that seat. While rushing, she knocked herself on my folded leg, and she made the ‘tsk’ sound at me, because my leg was blocking her way to the seat.

Whoa.

Seriously, wtf woman?

Do you know? It won’t kill you to bear some basic courtesy.
