i doubt the birthday girl will even remember her birthday as much as we even do.

after all, its her first.

xdds, xmms reign in double o ::

hoho, yagong and me went to double o that day. gee. dumbest thing happened and i'll blog about it another day.

anyway, i resolved to go clubbing with at least one guy who can club in every sense and not to give namecards out to any xdds.

*roll eyes* i need to be more sane and leng-zeng to avoid self-indued trouble. sheesh.

and to think i drank only coke. argh!!

japanese late night show ::

was watching "boy meets future" on channel 8 recently. was rather intrigued by the whole sci-fic show. and the little pint sized robot is really cute! but its pretty weird to have children patting the robot like its a furry dog. :P

anyway, the show has this sci-fi/fairy tale yet dreamlike quality about it which i think US movies/chinese movies still cannot emulate. hm. nice. :)

but it has those typical gundam-type, boy-saves-world scenerios. well, at least its still better than those lc chinese movies which is boring plus overplayed plus third-rate horror if you get what i mean.

well.. felt really good to be able to sit down and appreciate one movie. *drums fingers and hums a tune*

my black books *humph* ::

i always thought normal people would more or less be bound by the law, protocols, ethic and in a very chinese way, mian zi.

last week was pretty traumatic for me. i lose my cool twice. and the people involved made me really angry. i literally exploded once. well, honestly, im not sorry for it and i don't give a shit anymore.

incident 1:
stubborn, die-also-want-face ex-owner of the house my buyer bought blah blah.. long story, irritating and complicated, like a fresh mosquito bite. anyway, i'll blog again.

in short, i almost screamed at him. i screamed at his totally-screwed mover and in the end, couldn't get his ass out of my buyer's new place of which she is the legal owner. called me a series of mean things and threaten/tried to scare me by saying he'll talk to his lawyer.. whahaha.. what a bunch of bullshit!! i doubt any lawyer will even talk to you after checking out your finances.

incident 2:
boisterious obnoxious century 21 pig who thinks my owner lives to sell her house to buyers. bah... may you be caught by the olden days villagers, dump you in a pig's cage and drown you in the village pond.

idiots. *roll eyes*

well, i know that i was a tat emotional. but what am i to do if the other party refuses to cooperate? they deserve it do they?

inklings of the dead matter, does it matter? ::

tis been a pretty black week.

my friend's dad passed away of cancer and yesterday, i saw on the news, my best friend's ex boyfriend ala the jerk died while jogging in army.

oh well.. as usual, i got all retrospective and stuff.. and i realise, i can never get as retrospective as i did when i was younger. maybe i did have more time to think then.. at least i was doing something useful then!! haha.. :P but boy, i got a shock when i read my sec 3 and 4 c&e workbook. never realise, i would write something so deep (supposedly). (!!) i was just appalled at my own mentality now. in a way that is.

its suddenly shallow.

anyway, during my friend's dad's wake, i was just pondering on my own dad's mortality. was recalling how close i was to losing my 24 xiao daddy. and i felt sad for my friend that he landed in sg 3 hrs late. he couldn't even say good bye to his dad. but thank God that his father is Christian and my friend seemed to be coping pretty well with the loss. i was at a loss at what to say.. really bad reacting to events like this..

Very thankful now. to be able to have supper with my daddy just now.

read from newspaper that babe's ex boyfriend suddenly died while jogging. life's really short and in this respect, unpredictable.. he's merely 1 year older than us. anyway, he was a jerky fellow. i wonder if i suddenly die.. what will happen.. i think the insurance payout is only $50,000. not enough for my family to last 3 years i think. so i can't go so fast..

:P
