he looks as delicious as whatever he was eating!
or maybe more~!

I had to wear a pair of waister capris to work yesterday *embarrassed.ashamed*...and when I say "waister", i mean, it was covering my belly button...........

yaya, go ahead. you have my permission to laugh.

sigh...and y did the sn have to face the world in her waister yesterday??? because I ran out of skirts and because i could not fit into any other pair of working pants!!!!!! so it was either "waister" or "stay at home"...so it was ------ WAISTER *wu nai*

oh and why couldn't i fit into the other pants?? because I am sooooo bloated now, with what i don't know...because it is going to be the time of the month again and because it's accumulated bloatedness because it came in droplets last month! hen lei...how not to have PMS when you become fat for nothing? you tell me!

and last week i had to see a chinese doctor to ensure it comes significantly on the next arrival. It dosen make any sense at all!!!! I dread its arrival,yet I now have to take this murky powdery bitter drink 3 times a day for a week so it can come significantly...*very wu nai*

it also happened once last year...came in droplets for like 2 months and during those months I had to squeeze my big tummy, big butt and big B into my clothes!

and people around had to make it worse with their passing remarks like....i was only making myself some milo and this coll went "ohhhh...no wonder u gained weight la..." huh?!?! i mean....i was only innocently making myself half a cup of milo to stay awake ley?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

and then some will go

Coll: wah...yr qi se looks good these days hor

Me: *forced smile and acting non-chalent* oh...u trying to say i gain weight is it" (clench my fists)

Coll: *awkward smile*...oh! no la...u look better lydat mah.....

HELLO~~!! your smile had given you away, auntie! I m sure you were keeping your toes crossed, and since you think so, I will pray that you grow fat so you can "look better"!!

sigh sigh sigh....forcing a sn to the wall....you see you see...you don't even need hormonal changes to have PMS! u just need a handful of insentitive, irritating, love to make talk colls!

and you don't expect me to tell them "oh, no la, you see, I am not fat, just bloated, u know, bloated (NOT FAT!!!!!!) because my menstral cycle is not so smooth recently". You never know, they may just go telling that joey is in some state of denial of her fatness in their next round of making talk with some other colls ABCD.

sigh...sigh.....sigh.....sigh.....

my most beloved auntie, we are relatives after all, ni you he bi ne? I am doing my part, so just hope you do yours too.

I have decided there is a need for me to make a record of some of my good memories, especially at this rate that I am forgetting things. So i had better make my taiwan trip more concrete and real lest I may one day just forget what i actually did there other than went for Final Home, or even, forget I had been to Taipei!

It's hard to say...really. Call me scatterbrain! So...let's start!!

SINGAPORE --> TAIPEI (6 Jan 2005. SQ30. 1650)

Yar, we were terribly restless on the plane. Though xu rong de helped ourselves to the movies and Nintendo and food (auntism at work), but still...never gave up defining "nuisance" to the other passengers. lol~ stretching their limits with our non-stop photo taking, video recording, mayday discussions, in uncontrolled loud voices and fidgets from excitment...etc etc....

oh man...i really do look like i enjoy being on an aeroplane a lot!! Don't I!!!

IDOLS HERE AND THERE

Oh!! I love this place! I really do....my favourite people are just like...everywhere, esp the MRT stations. I think I will be a happier OL if I can see a jay or a MD everyday when taking MRT to work! luxurious right!
yaya...I am 24 this year, you didn't get it wrong.

传说中的士林夜市

those who tot tt shilin is an open air night market...put up your hands!! No...we were wrong!! its actually an indoor eating place...aka our local hawker centre! haha~ and there are 2 parts to it, one eating, and one shopping...we also did not know right! haha...

i tot we ate A LOT...but after i pieced the photos together, realised that we DID NOT!!! lol~and check out what were in the list: red bean soup with some special ingredients, or-aah jian (fried oyster omelette), cua bing (ice kachang) with a million condiments chosen by us, and chuan shuo zhong de DA JI PA!! to recap, 2 desserts and 2 snacks aka xiaopin (in xq's words), and we could eat no more (take note that we couldn't even finish the da ji pa..i gobbled it up back at the hotel!)
and these were 2 (who look like they had been eating a lot) gers famished from running around taipei streets and withstanding the cold!

back to the ji pa...it was good! better than singapre....and much bigger. how big? something bigger than my (big) face should rightfully be considered very big right! and it's much cheaper! NT$40 or S$2!

mayday.mayday.mayday.mayday.and more mayday

Right after checking into the hotel, the mayday fanatic duo dashed onto the streets of ximen ding to look for "全家便利商店". It is a 24hr convenience store, like 7-11, with MD currently as their spokesperson! This is the only MD related activity we could do at such wee hours of the night, and we had no time to waste to get in touch w MD!!! *gan jiong*

so we returned to the hotel, lugging in our arms (you have to pay for plastic bags, kiam kana's DON'T pay for plastic bags) snacks and desserts endorsed by MD and also MD mug (bottm right corner) that came with every purchase of 2 desserts! *happy.contented.blissful*

Next morning we dashed into 全家 (again) to get the MD yo-yo card aka EZ-link card (too thrilled last night tt we forgot!) It was very expenesive! NT$600 or S$30, and somemore without any value inside! and after that we found out that, unlike the normal cards, the remaining value inside cannot be refunded because its a "collector's card"...DUH!!!

so anw, it was jus a lot of MD around and a lot more to bring home!

无家可归的小孩

Our final night in taipei!! and becos we had to reach the airport at about 5plus am, so insisted on not increasing our expenses by paying S$50 each for a hotel room...NOBODY IS TO BREATH THIS OUT TO MY MUM!

so when night had fallen, we sat down at Mac to do our sums, travelled to Taipei City Hall, intending to take a look at that area...BUT ended up discovering 2 BIG MD lightboxes and spent almost 2HOURS fooling around,taking photos, and laughing at ourselves when the late travellers threw scornful stares at us!

then quickly catch the last train back to ximending and rested our feets at a 24hr comic shop!! We bared all the NT$ we had (think we were only left with less than S$1 after paying!!!) to stay there until 4am!!! if we had splurged on another cup of milk tea or another sausage, we would really have to spend the night in the cold, on the streets!!! *mao leng han*

so, we again tried to engage ourselves in some MD related stuff like reading the newspapers abt the concert, discussing the concert run down (plainly to act busy)..etc etc...take photos, rec videos, until our weariness overwhelmed us to the last bit. and when we were about to leave...realized the two shopkeepers (mother and son) were sound asleep!!!!! ...........................oh! but we had to wake them up to clean up the coffee tt we spilled!!! LOL~ yah...we were still the nusiances!!

we half walked half ran back to the hotel cos it was COLD~!~! and the streets did look a bit dangerous. washed up and got ready to be picked up to the airport. *meanwhile still trying to act high at the hotel entrance...at 4am!*

so it's...BYE BYE taipei....till we meet again!!!

The year of the rooster...and i tot this was supposed to be MY year...

But why do I feel shadowed by dark clouds instead? and this is like...only the 4th day into the new year!! ok, face it, all roosters out there, this is not going to be a smooth year ahead, so pls be prepared.

I just hope my visit to the temple today will be of help because for once, I truely do feel I need external strength. For once, my optimism dosen seem to be able to put into practice. For once, things do not feel like they will just work out fine eventually. I am scared...

I had resoluted to start this year afresh, and recharged. But now, I am just brooding over too many things...and I am having too many headaches.

Meanwhile, i need to be stronger, braver, more independent and learn not to take things for granted...

and while doing trying to do so, I just hope that the dark clouds above will not rain on me.

Tell me!!!

最近的日子一闪而过得有一点吓人.

就这样...我偷偷地老了一岁,
就这样...2004 年不告而别,
就这样...我从台北回来了,
就这样...我在隔了四年后又能坐在不远的地方看着他吃东西,
就这样...天气又改变了

当中好像有发生过一些大事件, 但又平淡, 反覆得让人想抓狂...
当中好像经常累得想一觉不醒, 但又想不出我到底是贡献了舍么, 改变了舍么...

当中的的白天都太漫长, 夜晚都太短暂,
醒来得太不情愿, 也入睡得不太甘心...
难道这就是OL的宿命吗?

最近有人说我好像老了很多, 虽然在她面前硬撑出一副不在意,不以为然的模样,
但在家里照镜子时也会恍然觉得自己真的好像老了很多!!! 很吓人!!!
现在出门都不敢不化妆...至少也得把黑眼圈遮好, 别把路人吓坏了.
这是好公民应尽的社会责任吧!

最近工作到了瓶颈, 可能是太上手了, 也可能是三分种热度的老毛病又犯了.
好像三个月前还记得我有多爱不释手, 多引以为荣, 多奋不顾身...
少女的善变还真不是盖的!

最近觉得自己像一个电池坏掉了的手机一样,
怎么充电都充不满, 每天带着三分之一的电力出门
"low batt" 的信号拼命的闪, 随时准备关机,
硬撑到最后一秒, 再重新为明天充回那三分之一的电力
就这样每天每天靠着这三分之一的电力跟外界保持联络.

虽然是以上的种种, 但庆幸我还算是开心的.

所以!!!!我一定要赶紧乘着过年把电池修好!!
鸡年就下定决心要带着至少三分之二的电力做人...
哈哈...少女果然没舍么野心吧! 三分之二就够了啦...
充太满电池容易坏! 我的是non-lithium 的! 哈哈...

祝我大家新年快乐!!!

顺便趁机喊一句: 给我多点mayday and jay!!!!

Sunday, Sentosa, Spongebob...and a sn...

What on earth was I doing at Sentosa Tanjong beach on a Sunday evening? Yes…me, the sn with a sn outlook (I hope so), yet the heart of an aunty and the energy level of an oba-san.

I sat in a car filled with 3 Dai’s, clutching a cup of coffee in my hand, balancing a cup of coke between my feet that were buried beneath burgers and fries both straight and curly, and contemplating hard if I shd ask a “so…is cat coming later”, or “shea…u wan some fries?”…this hbh a bit too straining for a sn (as described above) le!! Oh man…oh man….and dd has to lose his way to lengthen this ordeal….apparently NS boys dun favour sentosa chalets!!

It was a long walk to tanjong beach, and it was made longer by the uphill parts and again…the coke and the burgers and the fries…and for gydn…the picnic mats! and so we struggled and we panted and I continued to wonder what on earth was I doing at Sentosa on a Sunday evening!!! And I guess, dd also continued to wonder as much what exactly was wrong w his sis’s friend to wear double layered tops with jeans and shoes to a sentosa!!! or….when is she going to show her halter!!! LOL ~ ~ ~

Anw, we were there for a spongebob square pants movie preview!! And in case u dunno who this squarepants thing is…look at our masks!! Haha….ke ai right!! Yea…that is him!! and yea!!! finally you are reading about me engaging in some activity other than MD chasing right….haha…. and mind you, this is an exclusive event and only people with invites are allowed!! Wahaha…all thanks to gydn for putting down her 尊贵的身份 as gydn and her gengness to appear at Bishan in spongebob’s bugs teeth!!

Anw, the movie was funny, and luckily rather short, because we were as anxious to get home early as the parents whose kids have to go to school the next day! so this is tsj’s 1st outing to a 外岛……!!! And so…we finally got to know gydn’s most beloved cartoon character better…haha….

And to add one last point….its hard being a mum!! And its very hard too being a 舅舅 and an 姨姨!!!
