having parents like mine sure sucks to the core.

go out with aunts, complain.
go out with friends, complain.
stay out too late, complain.
hang out with friends at home, complain.
don’t go out, complain.
talk on phone, complain.
sms, complain.
chat online, complain.
no job, complain.
got job, complain.
do this complain, do that complain.

my my. life’s interesting eh? tell me what i CAN do. does anyone understand how much i envy those who have the freedom to befriend people and go out with their friends without having to endure constant naggings or fill up an ‘application form’ each time i do? does anyone understand how embarrassing i find it to tell people i have to be home by 12am? does anyone understand how much i wish to be out there living life, enjoying myself, learning new stuff, instead of being so-called ‘protected’ at home? does anyone understand how much i hate to be their puppet?

dad said once, “either you’re 21, or you get married.” 10 more months. or rather, 303 days and 23 hours to be exact. i need to break free before i go mad. =[

p/s. it’s 12. HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY SASA~! ^_^

400th post!! i think i shouldn’t be blogging now. not in this state of mind. lol.

had an interview this morning. it lasted for a whopping 2 hrs 15 mins! talked alot, listened alot, did some tests, and yessss..mee got the job. it stated admin assistant, and i thought it was general admin work. but then i found out it was admin for patent, first filing. cheem eh? lol. job scope sounds pretty interesting, but since i have zero experience in IP law, the pay sucks. >.>

met sasa (finally) for dinner. I MISS HER! ^_^ thx sa for earrings, and i hope you like the prezzie too. glad to see everything’s going well for you, and you made me sooo tempted to move to aus. zzz. but anyways, since you still have a month before you go back aus, make sure we meet up again k? muacks sasa!!

met gary and friends for i am legend. i felt so bad to ‘dump’ sa. why did she have to have seen that movie already?! and why does everyone i know seem to have watched it already? neverminds sa, next time i’ll leave one whole day for you. LOL!

from the comments some people gave me about the show, i was very looking forward to watching it. sad to say, i didn’t realize it was a horror movie. =.= i think it’s one of the few times i actually dared to watch horror flicks at the cinema. i don’t even watch them at home. haish. i feel cheated. i bet wendy feels the same. =X storyline was rather interesting though, and pretty realistic. poor sammy. f4.

after that went to harry’s. i feel bad for dragging matthew & wendy along. =( first time i tried long island at harry’s. wah really bth sia, 3/4 glass nia giddy le. tsk. but there’s no coke taste at all, so i suppose that’s the original version? haha. i shall practise raising my alcohol level with harry’s long island.

i think i was a little 失常 later on. alcohol-effect ba. i hope i wasn’t sprouting nonsense. i didn’t, did i? i don’t think i’m thaaat bad right? lol.

i should be meeting zhou gong anytime soon. xD

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!!!!
(though it’s already past 12.)

woke up at a whopping 12.30pm this afternoon. ALL of us. lol. went over to auntie’s place. her new condo. bloody nice and big lor. got basement somemore. and they have no children, only biscuit. lucky dog lor. hahas.

anyways, i just sat there and stoned the whole afternoon away. tsk. supposed to meet gary at 6.45, but i think it was nearly 7.30 when i reached. paiseh!

chilled at a pub with him and a couple of his friends. another one with dogs de. *jealous* the pub was one along orchard road. bloody lot of people. but the blue lights were nice. wasted didn’t take pics. the long island was heavenly as compared to the one in genting. lols.

after that tagged along to bugis to watch the SIA guys jam/record. finally saw him play drums. not bad ah, quite 帅 de wor. LOL. my first time at a record studio (suaku), and i guess it was pretty much 大开眼界 lor.

reached home almost 12.30am sia. break record le. lucky no tio. =X

– — – — –

go back abit. went for interview on monday morning. was kinda hoping to get that job, but i suppose there’s no hope for it now. i hate it when they ask, “what do you think are your strengths?” i always have nothing to say. haiz.

aunt’s birthday that night. kfc + red wine. ^_^ i think i need to cut down on alcohol. mum said too much chivas is gonna murder my liver. but…… *dreams* when will dad finally open that bottle of vodka raspberry? LOL!

oh wells. should i risk my maggi mee now?? tsk.

had a rather interesting conversation last night.

him : ehh u ok mar? heard from XXX u recently nt happy ar?
me : eh? okies la. y leh?
him : concern for u can?! -.- cos i read ur blog machiam beri hapi lydat. so i wondering y XXX lydat say lor.
me : v happy meh? oO

hmmm. well, hello?!?! i’m not exactly one of those lucky girls who get everything they want in life. i have my sad times and unhappy moments, and i get emo and lonely as well. but i guess it’s just not me to show it to the world. or maybe i’m just too used to taking everything on myself. not that i don’t want to share; i see no point in making someone else unhappy as well, especially if they have their own problems to fret about. so…yeah. to those that i share my problems with: hope you don’t find me a bother. to those who see me happy: continue thinking that way. to those who sense that i’m not happy but yet i don’t tell you why: back off, i’ll come back to you when i’m happy again. =]

on a lighter note, met up with yong he today. this morning in fact. it’s been quite a long time since i’ve woken up early enough for breakfast. lol. and 90 minutes later, we had lunch. xD

p/s. yong he if you’re reading this, better not make it a point to meet once every few years hor. sms oso bo. tsk. last time army got excuse, now no more hor. lol.

anyway, we went to watch alvin and the chipmunks. at first i thought it wasn’t a very nice show when i read the reviews. after the show, i agree with them that the storyline is plain lame. but the chipmunks made up for it. so overall, it’s a must-watch. theodore (the green fat one) is super duper kawaii!! when they sing and dance, you just wanna scoop them all up and bring them home to kiss and cuddle. lol!

also watched a couple of new movie trailers. both chronicles of narnia: prince caspian and horton hears a who! come out next year and i wanna watch! someone please remember to jio me then. lol.

bored & nothing to do? try these out -

gaia online – it’s a simple web game where you browse around, earning gold through games, buy clothes to ‘cuten’ your avatar, etc. you get random items from quests and events. currently there’s this christmas caroling and orphan-helping event going on. pretty time occupying if you’re bored like me. ^_^

random screenshots :

my avatar! >

hopdance / 热舞街 – pretty much the same as auditionsea, except that you can play this on the web browser instead of having to download anything. graphics, dance moves and the user interface suck. only the songs are nice, from super slow to super fast. hehe. everything is in chinese, although you can switch to the english version. but still, you can’t type anything in english, which is sad. this is best for people who want to try out auditionsea but don’t wanna download such a big file first, cos you can play as a guest on hopdance. lol.

screenshots :

go on, try them out! they’re fun. lol.

it was finally over. THE NIGHT. the night that me and cher had been ‘fretting’ over for the past few days. we couldn’t decide what to wear; not too formal, not too casual. tsk. we turned up as dates for bonson and his friend for their dunno-what dinner. thanks bonson’s parents for driving us to the OCS camp. by the way, their camp looked quite like our polytechnics. didn’t look as jialat as they make it out to be. lol.

anyway, really nice to see bonson again. 4 years eh? =] he changed so much. 大帅哥了wor. hehe. i agree with cher: he was much funnier back then. but then, it was still fun with him. my date for the night was bon’s buddy, joey. it was a little weird at first, since everyone brought their girlfriends and i think i was the only one who met my date for the first time. lol. was surprised to meet paul too. he said rui & yang were coming as well, and i was kinda looking forward to seeing them again, but i guess they didn’t turn up. haha.

ate (chocolate fondue), drank, was entertained; abit boring actually. hahas. saw the video on life in camp. like very interesting leh, especially the live firing. maybe it would be fun to go try it out for a couple of days. XD that common slogan about how the army turns you from a boy into a man, or something like that. i think it’s true, judging by what the army boys have to go through. haha. i guess i’m gonna have to respect them a teeny weeny bit more now.

the night ended with some games and the much-awaited lucky draw. i think everyone was aiming for the first & second prize – psp and ipod nano respectively. a mystery gift of nintendo ds lite was also included. committee rich sia. lol. there was also best dressed male and female, both of which i didn’t think should win. i thought bonson should, cos he wasn’t wearing the usual formal shirt and pants that practically everyone wore. the female one was worse; just a tube top and jeans. like what cher said, the prize should have been ‘most revealing female’ instead. oO

oh wells. thanks joey for sending me home, and for the dinner too, since i was supposed to be his date. haha. he seemed even quieter than me. but throughout the night and especially in the car, we managed to talk alot and i found him VERY gentlemanly. not bad of a first impression. lols.

overall, had fun tonight. ^^

i’m back, at last. was up in genting with family. quite boring actually. lols.

16th – bloody driver drove so freaking fast but still reached at 5am. waited outside casino for them to settle their card stuff. then sat at starbucks for 2 hours cos we had nothing to do. lol. it’s at times like this that i wished i bought a psp.

went gaming and played pool. sho boring. went pubbing at night too. dad wanted to watch soccer. i wanted to go to that soccer pub where the atmosphere was not too bad, but the rest opted for a much nearer one. it was so horrible; one of the worst experiences. majority of the people there were soccer fanatics who shouted and boo-ed so often. the rest were ah peks who were busy staring at the legs of the 3 gals singing on stage. zzz. the whole night i felt like i was sitting at a coffeeshop drinking beer and watch those 7th-month getai singers. hais. the cocktails sucked too, quality and quantity. tsk.

< just for laughs!

17th - dad&mum went back, so we spent the day gaming and pooling AGAIN. spent rm160 just on racing cars, shooting bad guys, throwing darts, remembering stupid flinstones, and picking toys. but nevertheless, besides the fun part, i came back with these again. hehe. pool was better, even though our accuracies went horribly off with those constant bouts of laughter.

went to watch this performance – Fly. it’s a combination of magic tricks and acrobats. the storyline totally sucked. seriously. the acrobats, although impressive to most, pales in comparison to those i’ve seen in beijing. i was yawning throughout the whole show. the only thing i find amazing is how those dancers manage to dance and run on freaking high heels. my aunt, who has already watched it once, also told me the masked good guy was a handsome angmoh, in which i was utterly disappointed at the end of the show. tsk tsk. but the evil queen was pretty. and she wore very little. hehehehe~ overall – not worth the ticket price (but we got it for free ^^).

went back room and watched movie instead.

18th - departed at 12, reached at 7. i’m beat. XD

p/s. mee cut my hair. feels nice, but looks ugly. sad.
