Domesticated

Boon's new blog! - "Dancing Salsa, ( to those who dun salsa) , is not about sleaziness, sex, arrogant or exhibitionist only, tho' it can be all those too."

How true.

My sunday was so ~FulFillInG~

I went to the wet market. I bought pork, fish, veges, lil nicknacks.. muahahhahahaha
and then i went to the Super mart too...
inbetween my "excursions" - which are not really excursions coz i go to the market/supermart at least twice a month for groceries - I served my ahmad duties! Sis and Bro's (and cousin's) Ahmad! To this church, and that dentist.. and then to tuition..

Lunch was at TMCC... uumm.. Laksa!

ECP, was expected to turn into a movie, but YAY, the weather cleared. Was beautiful. Just that I've been exhausted..... :( and crampy foot while blading hindered my progress *GRUMBLE*

Dipped into the pool back at TMCC before swinging by bro's church, picked him up, and had Thai Express for dinner. was so full. Came home, tried to nap, but i obviously have a screwed up body clock system blah blah.

i cannot slp before 2am.

JSB! niceeeee chill out.
but was so tired so came home early. didnt get to go to Cafe Iguana (shucks).. but will definately make a trip down later this week. I hear many a livers dislike that place, esp during happy hour ;)

came home early, no use. didnt fall aslp till 2ish.

I WENT TO SCHOOL TODAY TOO~!
I UNDERSTOOD MACRO ECONS REVISON.. most of it at least, when i never attened any econs lec since dec04. *I feel so smart*

*smarty pants going to crash* work at 8am.

Current MSN Nick: "a bad girl with a good streak"
nick's a quote off my friend.. Obviously refering to me. Matches my pic! STREAK!"

moulding..

"All parents damage their childre. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely, into jagged little pieces, beyond repair."
-- Mitch Albom, "the five people you meet in Heaven"

so many things running thru my mind.

Current MSN Nick: whatever.

random

I wanted to blog abt my "Wet Market adventure" as soon as i could, as "fresh" in my mind as it cld be.

But its the day after.
I forget things easily.
Oh.

The weekend passed with a tiny spot of a dot of an annoying feeling.
(ok, that didnt quite make sense -a tiny spot of a dot-, but this is my mood now)

--- .long break. pheli calls from down under ---

long long break.. over 2hrz. heh.

where was I... ah, weekend - of little sleep.

--- i am reminded of Desperate Housewives. Sayonara for now. ---
and am back in 5 mins. My uncle is watching channel U. :/

Distractions. Tsk tsk.

Saturday was a long day.

I had work. That was the 6th-day of work. I promised them I'd go fulltime for the first 2 weeks so we can catch-up with the piling workload. Love the environment. I've got a flexi time- data entry - that pays $7.50/hr. :D And my colleagues are a riot! one of them being my sister, and thus it is understandable why. We're a funny bunch when together. *chuckle*

from the incessent lame jokes; Kitty club because of the hello kitty magnets you get for every $5 spent @7-11. our "snack bar" is filled with that..; the labeling of nicknames to various doctors, and one in particular - ZERO SIX - Thats his code. He drives us data entry staff up the wall with his "You know you are not a doctor if your handwriting is not messy right. so you will understand why when you see mine. If its neat, you better alert the authorities coz that wld probably be an imposter!" he says to us on the 1st day; and my breakfast at home to morning tea, to lunch, to aftn tea.. and then some.. :D

As usual, didnt get slp that friday night, and was running on 3 hrz of sleep or there abts. Went with SF to her Salsa class with Luth and Adeline.. Fell straight to slp on the bench at the studio. that was for an hour.

Hopped over to NYDC at Heeren. DID YOU KNOW THEY HAVE FREE WIRELESS SURFING? - i didnt, until ade told me. So had a late lunch and downloaded some school stuff - YES SCHOOOOOLLL STUFF. and rushed to YMCA for class.

Obviously, i was stoned out.

class ended. hopped in for a ride to Esplanade with JY and SF. Met deb or dinner... couldnt meet boon for dancing at the underpass/ nor did we make it to poncho's live latin concert.. :/ but i did get to watch an EXCELLENT show!

- Closer -

Seemingly simple. It deals with alot of everyday underlying issues that everyday pple, you and me, grapple with, but the gist of it..
Taglines:
If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking.
If you believe in love at first sight... Take a closer look.
Those who love at first sight are traitors at every glance. (Italy)

Natalie Portman is a scream. *shakes head* If i'm going to idolize anyone, it'll probably be her.

did i mention i've been listening to "the blower's daughter" on repeat.

And then some Live Music at Harry's Esplanade. Pleasantly surprised to meet Wen there. Deb and I had a drink, and headed to Kaki5.

sheesha AGAIN

Aloy and Ivan (new dude.. back for holiday, from pilot training under SIA) were there already. and we entertained ourselves with a game deb and I were at the day before - Word associations. Along came Jason, buzzed and such. and we just played on.

Ivan is just too good at connering people - Good imagination.

I cannot take it. Out for 19 hours straight.

I decline supper. My sleep lasted all of 3 hours, again.

WET MARKET ADVENTURE @7am on sunday.
well. just for snazzy tagline.. it wasnt really an adventure at all. I go with mum once in a while.

YES, I DO GROCERY SHOPPING... you dopes who are thinkin i'm too "qian jing xiao jie" to do anything. .. Just coz i let you talk yourself into believing i'm tai-tai material, doesnt mean i am "tai-tai", and dont know such stuff. AND YES I CAN COOK.. some things. *heh*

We went back to this market we used to frequent when i was all of 3 years till 12years old (when we moved to the current place in seletar). Nostalgia hit me in torrential waves this time. Usually isnt this bad.

We went back to the same stalls that we patronized all those years ago. Each vaguely familiar personality, an air of refinement, of age, of their daily lives after these years.. that have moulded their features, with smile lines, and frowns no doubts..

I wondered if they remember me. That lil twerpy kid with her mum - contorting her face passing by the dry-foods stall with the strong stench, or staring wide-eyed at chopped up pigs, those poor things! (this dear lil girl's born during the chinese cycle yr of the pig.. and thusly was a lil horrified back then. Now, most of you know her as one self-confessed pig), or biting her lip when choosing the 15-20eggs that wld last the family the week thru, standing by the side at the fishy area.. where it was wet and slimy and slippery - but always making eyes at the fishballs! or getting some of those chinese cakes/ tidbits from this petite Auntie, or selecting her pick of vege dishes for the week... taking a snack round the corner at the hawker centre..... that was Back then.

It was dejavu. Except that.. am taller than mum, and I kept quiet more. Answering when spoken to - I SPOKE TEOCHEW OK! *chuckle* can't help but think - so "kimgek" - Lady like - something SCGS always advocated. *haaa* i was in the shorts and teeshirt i woke up in.. well, kinda.

those were the days. and i will re-live them, this sunday, when i go grocery shopping, with the maid. Mum wld still be out of town. I figure, this time - It wld be different. why? --

--> SURE KENNA KATOH ("cheated" by the stallholders) LA!

ROLLERBLADING
so running on 3 hrz of slp from sat to sunday's transistion... I am home aft the market shopping. I change to appropriate attire for rollerblading. For those who dont know already, my brother, CL, has tuition on every sunday 10-12pm. I usually take that time to rollerblade at ECP.

Morning SUN = nice tan // and its not so crowded.

so i take the wheel again. falling aslp. (whaddaya expect, not much slp over the week)

but blading this week was good. Intention again next week. interested? 10-12pm Sundays :)

Home for lunch
Flop dead aslp on the floor aft lunch. an hour and a half nap. Wake up groggy, as it has been so for the past week...

head to airport - Mum to KL for 10days ie i get the car for 10days. i get to drive to work, pay the $3.50 daily ERP toll, and the exorbitant parking at SGH of $1.22/hour.. and be ahmad to siblings. :/ but there are perks, or so i think.. *sigh sigh*

very filling dinenr at Soup Restaurant with mum and sf. and then home - and was very very annoyed on the way back. URGH. picked cl up from church, and then desert at hougang point to cool off.

got home to a 45min nap. showered and headed to Harry's where we planned to meet up and chill.. the usual jazz bunch. *ponders* We've got to get more girls integrated to the grp.. *end ponder*

Supper at bedok85. yummy bakchor kuayteow, and orh-luah = minced meat flat rice noodles and oyster egg omelette.

and then home. and then my next 3 hrz of slp to monday blues.

---

Tis the end of monday. 2325. LONG BLOG! :)

I wonder if its going to be standard 3hr nap every night. If so, i'm gonna get not only dry skin fromt he frigid SNEC, tagged "Senior Scientist // Room 06-02".. i'm gonna have swollen panda eyes.

but i am bored now. we'll see... ... .. .. . .

Current MSN Nick: *black as night; hear my moanful mourn*

Chromosomes

"The Y chromosome has steadily eroded to a little stump over the millennia, a process that holds out the intriguing theory that men may eventually
be eliminated by evolutionary pressure. "

i dont know if i shd be gloating for and with my sisters? or wailing in misery at our lifelong obsession's impending doom..

as i see it, our male population is falling.. esp those I wld consider.. uumm.. HAAAA

*grin*

fuzzy wuzzy logic

something weird is going on.

something in the sand? stars? sea?
i mean, stars...

The link is to an astrology website supplied by JY, a fellow scorp, who told me a week ago, that this was the ONLY site he trusts.
"since when?" I asked ; "since last year (thereabouts)" he replies.
So i think "probably not too bad"

I read it - right about a quarter of the page, and i give up.
Distractions.
and I chuck it to the inner recesses of my mind... and also my "Favourites" list, just in case I get into the "stars, please tell me my future" mood.

.. in comes today. 6th march.

* general day events: performance at suntec. lunch at marche. hung ard at Jitterbugs for a while. Walked a bit ard Suntec to kill time before a movie - I wanted to get a pair of slippers, but ended up getting a pair of fantabulous SHOCKING PINK faux leather heels! ~how exciting~
Movie was so enjoyable. I miss watching movies.. :(
HITCH: like a basketball game. fast; dodge here dodge there, ready steady SHOOT SCORE!
heheh
then homeward to a a damn yummy meal.. Kong bak, fried bread, veges, Threadfin Fish in soup gravy, seafood soup - made up for yesterday.

So now i type.


What is it with today? from the stroke of midnight.. I couldnt sleep. Te night was filled with random thoughts - some negligible, most, just nonsense. And I blogged, alot, apparently.

skim thru to note the "theme". no prizes for guessing.

Anyway. I manage to nap a couple of hours before waking up and rushing to suntec for the Celebrate Women - North East CDC (yes, had to add this in for effect).
blah blah blah, thru my day as mentioned earlier.

nows the fuzzy wuzzy logic. think along the themes of the night's entries.....

And then, I walk into Charles and Keith.
i see the slippers i've been eyeing. I ask to try. I wait. It is very crowded.
I hear my name being called - its not anyone that was accompanying me - it was ex-boyfriend, D. O_o :S :p

whatever. not that I have anything against my ex-s. They're a fine bunch, or so I hope (haha, ok, joking).. of all days, I had to be running on 2 hours of nap, and since i was too lazy to change out of my dance costume, I looked odd.

-yay-
so i bump into a past love.

yada yada, my day goes on with a fantastic movie about LOVE and RELATIONSHIPS. ~*wow*~ You wouldnt say~!
I liked it anyhow.
couldnt help but associate some pple with the characters...
will smith, "tall dark and handsome, Hitch - a smooth talker" is cute, still. How hez matured since Fresh prince days.... OOPS, I digress.

So i'm home. I'm online. some funny twisted turn of events. I'm onto my ICQ to suss out an old "poem" i still have on my "about me"... (JY asked abt this word "FIE"). I see some small blinky thing... and its a msg from someone NOT on my list.

"sam"

*me thinks* okay.. whoz this sam msging me. I hardly get those pickup msgs on icq anymore - thanks to privacy options and the like.

"sam" the ex-bf as well.
(for those who are not in the loop - quick history: me, 2 exs. Sam~2ishyears before and into poly; D~sometime in yr3 poly. - and none so far after.)

WHAT IS THIS~ i'm getting freaked. I go back and read the astrology page.
It says so in the summary:
If you suddenly lose your interest in work, food, sleep, or any of your usual activities, then you'll know why. When love bites in March, it will have the power to transform you and your lifestyle.
OH NO, its happening! I've not slept much; aside from dinner when i was famished i didnt each much during the day.. .. and i'm going to sch tmr!

see, what did i tell you?
FUZZY WUZZY LOGIC~

A chat with the Mrs

I composed a "poem". deep in the previous night.
restless. sleepless.

a tag-board msg!
Mrs: you seem so in love!

*wah* how you know?

and then I thought about it (as how all INFPs think too much) - prankster?

maybe yes, probaly not.
It did me good all the same..

or is it just the time, 7am.
I havent slept. Thou I want to.
Performance later.
Die. Need alot of concealer and makeup - gooey makeup.

Thank you! :)

restless

As I lay, quiet... still.
I thought about you.

Confused, I admit: WHO?

The lump in my throat, stifling... breathe!
Because of you?

Confused, I admit: WHY?

Could it be; this realisation?
True? Or conjured by thy lonesome wanting.

Imagery! Logic beckons.
A niggling feeling.. Possible?
I still think not.. able evoke this restlessness?
Even through the arcane science of my, cold, heart.

Fie - fantasy.

----

-edited again-

Because I am unable to fall aslp. Thusly, I imagine something bothering me, so i can smugly point an accusing finger.

Caffeine induced? maybe. Poetry - NO way. Hardly makes sense..

Hopefully, just hopefully; will I get my rest?

----
-edited again-

0718am - I just recalled the events of yesterday.
* Fastest training! ~Half an Hour~ for the performance later. And it was pretty good!

* coz we had to end earlier than expected, Eddie and I had time to kill before our individual plans - we went a-walking.
Scotts Shopping centre, and a iced moccha latte treat.. and was dared to walk in town.. in a white boobtube.. which eventually i just left it at that till after Sentosa.
so if you saw someone fat chick in a white boobtube, cheapo trackpants and trusty Crumpler Weenie - That'll have to be me.

* I had class.. in the white boobtube, cheapo trackpants and trusty salsa shoes..

* Free jazz by the beach was a nice chillout time. :) MORE DANCING! in the corner. Naffie came to ask us to dance on the dance floor.. cept that he didnt know it was me until after i squinted my eyes and said "naffie?" Hes cute la. :/

* topped the evening with a very sad dinner. Could have had better. *groan*

feeling uncertain..

For starters, the title of this post has nothing to do with the contents.
Just take it literally.
----------

Attempted to do a "personality test" on Tickle.

just for the fun of it.

Since my eyes just dont wanna close.

So its titled : BEAUTY AURA

1. I'm best known in my group of friends for my:
Humor
Charisma
Caring
Confidence
Honesty

*how ah? i couldnt answer.. and i still cant!

Anyway, I continued with the quiz - I put "confident" as my choice.
and i went thru PAGES.. *was getting exhausted*.
got to number

31. You love it when someone calls you:
Cute
Beautiful
Sexy
Hot

I have to say "Beautiful" wld be my answer. :)


All in all:
cf, your beauty aura is Natural!

When it comes to how you present yourself to the world, you strongly believe that keeping things simple — whether it's your relationships, career, or face soap — is the best way to be beautiful. You're satisfied with what nature gave you and aren't afraid to show your confident, unadorned self to the world.

Your beauty routine is all about maintenance. You keep your skin clean, your body moisturized, and add a splash of color to lips and eyes when the situation demands it. Other than that? You feel best looking as fresh as nature intended. In the course of being au naturelle you may sometimes forget to cut loose and have fun. You should feel free to dress up now and then or splurge on a scent. Spoil yourself, now and then, as nature intended.

I swiped off deb.

and i added a "Me too" at the end.

.. then i went a step further:



Dont they go together?

think it goes better than the previous attempt

the perfect boyfriend

invader zimsoongfee here!

Since I'm temporarily free, and came across this GREAT quiz, I'm inviting Chinfee to do it. the quiz is on the very detailed perfect guy survey.
I'm pretty sure loads of Cf's friends are eager to find out.. :D RIGHT!

What with all the talk about why my sister hasn't found a guy yet.


nyahaha..

Others might as well join in, and do it too. Your perfect boyfriend, or what you THINK cf's perfect boyfriend would be. ;)
And I think Boyfriend applications are still being given out by aloysius?

HURHUR.

Don't miss out cf's updates on the previous dayy!

I swore while driving...

on my way home from Salsa.

it wasnt once, but at least 3 times! throughout, from cree court to home..

I amazed myself.

The first mutterings were
"ben dan idiot go to the turning lane la!"
which i thought was quite C.U.T.E. It sparked some comment from aloy, whom i was dropping off at his home - "when shes behind the wheel, shez a changed woman".

And so within the short 2 minutes before he alighted, I displayed my prowess with the vulgar language:
" K. ...umm... K.N.N.. *thinks* ..K.N.N.C.C.. ooh, K.N.N.B.C.C.B!!!"
I finally said with conviction!
- I have to think a lil bit for the acronym -

Janet couldnt stop laughing.

And then I launched into a short story abt my once-upon-a-time Ah-Beng Boyfriend.. in relation to swearing niceties... but thats for another day.

The second instance I remember was after desert at Hougang Point (which was very pleasent - Deborah, Janet and Luwyn for company). I parked "illegally" - but thats not the story.

I was hoping for another exit further down the bend so i could escape doing a tedious reverse. Wasn't in the mood to show off my driving skills *Ban Men Nong Fu*. So I took a chance and went straight and turned at the bend... only to just keep going with no exit... passed the road i wanted to go to and was THINKING "so near yet so far..... KAN NI NA... wherez the damn exit" .

If i'm not wrong, only the vulgar phrase was audible. Gotta check with deb.
