Random thoughts:

1. never listen to jamie cullum's all at sea (or other jamie cullum songs for that matter) early in the morning on the train. it's totally soporific. I fell asleep between somerset and orchard and woke up feeling like i just slept for 10 years and havent had enough to sleep yet.

2. i wanna try this! looks cute.


3. meeting ginny for lunch later! hi! i know ur reading this!

My blog is not narcissistic.

In response to recent newspaper articles, I dont think my blog is a form of narcissistic expression! cos if it is, then personal diaries would be too.

Nah. I totally diss that thought. I write what I want, cos its like a diary for me to remember the stuff that happens. It's exactly like your traditional diary just that
a. i'm too lazy to pick up a pen and write and
b. using microsoft word to blog just doesnt catch my fancy. what am i going to do with all the blog entries, print out after a year? And the msoft word file will be so damn big cos it'll have pics and everything. storing everything online? priceless.

So no, I am not narcissistic. I dont write stuff aimed at people's (dis)pleasure. Of course sometimes I do hide stuff but I never write stuff with the purpose of getting attention and being narcissistic. so there, you communication and new media professors!

anyways my full time work ends this week. :) yeshhh. freeeeeedoommmmmmmmm. oh ya i popped over to city square on sunday with zm! shall update the pics later :)

Photographer kept asking us to look here look there, look left look right. tilt head. kan zhe bian kan zhe bian!! yah u get the picture.. haha but they were qt nice. place was freaking crowded though full of graduates.

I cut myself with a pair of scissors yesterday.

It didnt really hurt at first, compared to the mental and emotional pain i've been going through the past few days.

it was only after a while did i feel the physical pain. And it was nothing compared to the mental torture lately.

There was bleeding, which started out small. Then oozed out to become quite a bit of blood that couldnt be stopped.

It still hurts now.

Oh I forgot to mention. It was by accident. ;)

Anyways.. I suddenly remembered this funny joke by Chew on it! and he was saying that like, you know there are plenty of those HDTV or plasma tv ads? (Hi Definition TV) where they show you these brilliant images and bright colours and they go like "experience wonderful color with XXX High Definition LCD Plasma TV."

Then you think about it, if you can actually watch those ads on your TV and see the beautiful colors on your TV already, then whats the point of getting the HDTV?? The 'bright colors' are right there on your own TV screen!! Hahahaha

I extracted this from sammie's blog, i think its interesting. And starting to make sense :)

"Every woman in her heart of hearts longs for 3 things:

1-to be romanced
2-to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure
3-to unveil beauty

and that's what makes a woman come alive."

hmm.. i think 2 and 3 havent happened yet. especially 2. waiting for it to fall on me like the way apples fall off trees :P

Hmm but then again i think there are stuff that applies more to me other than these 3.. what makes me feel alive?

4. the joy of working - and being appreciated for the effort. You'll be amazed. the satisfaction i get when things work out the correct way. high i tell you.

5. laughter - and to hear others laugh with you. Somehow that makes me really really alive: to entertain and be entertained.

Hmm okay i think thats about it. so besides love, life and lust, there's also labor and laughter as well. all the things that make me high. :)

hmm.. i wonder if anyone has ever noticed that the title of my blog is "Mrs Brightside" and i wonder if anyone has ever wondered what this means.

Well, this is what it means.

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr(s) Brightside
---The Killers

One of my favouritest bands at the moment (actually for quite a while now) and I just thought you guys might wanna know.
-Mrs Brightside.

And there's that uncertainty within...

guess what day it is today? its DAY 8 EVERYBODY!! Hee hee. The day where we don our cullotts (sp??) and wear our round-necked pe tees with many surreptitious holes around the chest area.. yes. If you dont know what i'm talking about, it just probably means that you're not supposed to be the one reading this message anyway. :P

had an emergency meeting with ph n lyn last night over what to bid.. we sadly lost out on our bid for audit :( bleh.. but nvm.. alternative class.. hopefully i'll finish audit before my modified term starts. otherwise no need to go big4 for internship already. bleh. and lynnette is tiny cos she cant fit into g2000 clothes. she needs g1000. hahahah :P

and yes.. the most dramatic event of yesterday. getting my baby dive trip cancelled. yeah it was a terrible blow and it really sucked but, i dont think the circumstances would have it any other way. :( just dont mention the word tioman to me aight.

and another kind-of disappointment today. i actually dressed up quite nicely and put make up and all that to work, cos i thought i'd be going out after work. and it turns out that yeah he was sick and all and he stayd back at work to do stuff anyway. so feel kinda bleh thats wy im sitting here blogging away (hopefully) the ton of insecurities in my mind.

really in a f-ed up mood and feeling sian. sigh.

organise a dive trip and you get 9 peeps. fair enough.

then one by one they start pulling out. okay.

now im down to what, 3? It just feels very very tiring to put in all that effort and let everything come to nought. it makes me wanna cry.

of course i know things like that do happen.. yeah.. but . its just really energy draining. fuck.

My hero!!!

Let me tell you a heart warming story about a boy, a girl, and a bug.

One fine morning, a little girl was sitting at city hall mrt station waiting for her north bound train to come to take her to work. She noticed a bug on the floor about this big <----------------> crawling onto the granite seats. So, she decided to shift seats - to the next one. And she observed the big, metallic blue and shiny silver bug carefully, not wanting to take her eyes off for fear of the bug striking when she was unaware.

The bug scaled the granite seat successfully and paced around for a little bit at the top. Then suddenly, without warning, the bug took off! It flew towards the little girl!

Startled, she tried to keep herself from yelping and she ran away hurriedly in her 7cm high heels. Obviously, that created some commotion as she flipped and flopped so anxiously even though there was no train in sight.

Everyone stared. A passerby, a Caucasian gentleman (ala ang moh), saw what was happening. He noticed the big metallic blue and shiny silver bug on the floor bugging the poor girl, and he walked over chivalrously in giant, confident strides.

Prat.

The bug died under his leather patent shoes.

The day is saved! Hoorah!
