choosy fussy picky me

YEAH if u haven't realised, i was trying to imitate Tata Young's "Sexy Naughty Bitchy Me"...

Since my mum has started baking her CNY goodies, that means i won't be enjoying home-cooked food for...two weeks.
Which also means my lunch & dinner will be some hawker food takeaway, since my dad dunno how to buy from Tampines One/Tampines Mall/Century Square.

It is only the THIRD day, and i'm already cracking my brains over the lack of food choices.
So i followed my dad to a hawker centre and a foodcourt he frequents the most.

ARGH. I'm not ashamed to admit this...but i AM a spoilt brat.

走了一圈，竟然没有一摊看得上眼的。

Mostly local fare...Rojak, Chicken Rice/Porridge, Mee Soto/Rubus/Goreng (i still can't tell the difference), 杂菜饭，云吞面，鱼片米粉，Char Kway Teow, Carrot Cake...

Damn disappointing. They closed down the Western & Teppanyaki stalls.

So i settled for Nasi Lemak with FRIED fish fillet, FRIED luncheon meat and FRIED chicken wing. 最接近我口味的也只有这个了...

Well...looking on the bright side, at least i won't be missing the food when i leave for Taiwan.

(PS: I'm gonna have the 台湾小吃 at Century Square basement for dinner tonight!!!)

做戏

How I miss the Mediaworks-era Channel U... (not for personal reasons hoho)
Due to a lack of competition, MediaCxxx is getting complacent with the mediocre shows they are producing.

刚刚公布的2009节目收视率排行榜，一看就知道是MediaCxxx搞的鬼。

8频道排行第十的节目，竟然比U频道榜首的节目收视率高出三倍！
谁相信啊？

都已经合并那么久了，有必要继续打压U频道来突显8频道的superiority吗？

话说回来，把韩剧都放在U频道是对的。
毕竟，哈韩风是U频道带进新加坡的。

8频道就继续播你们自制的又长又臭又吵的缠脚袜长剧吧！
反正我又不看。

whatever...bitch

Boycott the restaurant at IKEA Alexandra.

(I'll try to vent my frustration without using profanities. BITCH is not a profanity.)

When my mum flashed her IKEA Friends card at IKEA Tampines to redeem a drink, she was immediately handed a cup.
When I flashed the card at IKEA Alexandra to redeem a drink, the bitchy cashier insisted that I go find the Friends counter, use my card to redeem a drink coupon, then go back to her to redeem my drink.

HELLO?! If your Friends counter is located at the entrance of the restaurant, then I dun mind.
BUT your Friends counter is soO0 out of the way, I even had to ask people along the way before I eventually found it.

So you expect me to "earn" my drink by doing exercise when I dun even care to exercise at home?! So I'm suppose to adapt to your inflexibility and bossiness while you comfortably sit your big fat ass on that cashier stool?!

It's not as if you have to keep the drink coupon for reference, or use it to wipe your big fat ass after you shit. Eventually the drink coupon will still be returned to me.

I'm already pissed, and our dear bitchy cashier brought it to a whole new level.

When I politely asked if I could pay by NETS, she said "WHATEVER" while looking in another direction.

THAT'S IT MAN. THAT'S IT.
我没有当场发火，算是给你老人家面子。
给你脸，你不要脸。

That totally justifies why I took a feedback form and wrote an essay-length complaint letter.

If you lose your job, you can only blame yourself for saying the "W" word...at a CUSTOMER.
You wanna be a bitch? I'll outdo you.
You wanna step on my toes? I'll step back on yours...and CRUSH them.

NOBODY SAYS "WHATEVER" TO ME.
GET IT? BITCH.
Enjoy your early retirement.
Dun forget to thank me.

gimme drama (US)

最近猛看连续剧，可是我的极限是一天五集，看太多头会痛。
而且我很容易半途而废，有些看了一集就不看了。
我专挑那种收视高/口碑好的，连续剧也有名牌的ok。

Here comes a series of posts entitled "GIMME DRAMA" (think Britney's "GIMME MORE"). First up, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

US:
After three episodes of "Gossip Girl", it is time to say goodbye despite a truckload of eye candy. A weak script is a weak script. No excuse.
Dun give me those "teen-drama-is-like-that" shit.

Look at "Glee", which I hail as the "professional" version of "High School Musical".
Most of the actors are from BROADWAY, and they're in their twenties (you can't tell at all).
They've got the looks, the vocals, the humour.
They've got IT.

Totally going gaga over Matthew Morrison, who plays the Spanish teacher.
O-M-G. I would totally take Spanish just for him.
And pretend I'm so dumb (yes PRETEND), so that we can have countless 1-on-1 consultations.

They really should have included a handsome teacher role in "High School Musical".

the best dun always finish first

Spent the afternoon youtubing my fav American Idol contestants.
Most of my favs were NOT the ultimate winners, but black female singers who can sing their asses off (that was a compliment).
And the only black female singer who ultimately won (yes the duck-like Fantasia Barrino), was NOT the best of the lot.

If you're interested, go youtube these incredible ladies - Latoya London, Paris Bennett, Melinda Doolittle. They sure deserved to win.
Erm but look at those who won - Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks, David Cook. Where are they now?
Polishing their trophy at home every morning, while reminiscing about their glory days?

Season 9 is back!
Doubt I can catch every episode while I'm in Taiwan.
May the best man/woman win.

Oh yah to reiterate my point that "the best REALLY dun always finish first", look at AVATAR.
Golden Globes Best Picture & Director?!
My ass.

给全天下的坏人

从小就听说，天使和魔鬼在我们身体里并存。
人死了，好人就上天堂当天使，坏人就下地狱当魔鬼。

坏人啊坏人！
你生前再怎么不择手段/心狠手辣/心机算尽，到最后还不是下B18？
你生前再怎么成功/富有/出名/受欢迎，到最后还不是任魔鬼使唤？

好好的一个好人，就是因为被你欺负/利用/剥削/折磨，才会变坏人的！
你们“坏人俱乐部”就那么缺人吗？

看《妻子的诱惑》，就是要看：好人如何报复坏人。
就算好人最后变成坏人也无所谓，我还是支持那个最初还是好人的坏人。

被欺负，就要报复。理所当然。
这不是坏人才有的想法。
往往坏人也是在被欺负/利用/剥削/折磨之后，才会变好人的。

。。。 。。。 。。。 。。。
把好人坏人分得那么清楚，或许有点naive & childish。

不过，你做过什么坏事，你自己知道。
就算没有immediate karma，也只是时辰未到。
What matters is the ultimate karma:
IF YOU BULLY KIND PEOPLE, YOU WILL BURN IN HELL.

Let's see who will have the last laugh.

（PS: 大家放心，没人欺负我，只是看坏人不爽罢了。）

大男人老爸

我老爸又惹到我了。
不免要跟他抬杠一番。

Case Study 1 -

故事背景：我阿姨（老妈的姐姐）是生意人，口才了得，跟陌生人也可以聊到天花乱坠，我一直觉得她很street-smart (in a good way)。偏偏我老爸看不顺眼。

爸：（对老妈说）你那个姐姐，跟不认识的男人也可以聊那么多，混一下就熟了，真随便。
我：我也很容易跟人混熟，那我也很随便咯？
爸：你不一样，你是男的。
我：姐姐也很容易跟人混熟，那她也很随便咯？
爸：她不一样，她是我女儿。
我：你女儿就不是女人啊？你老婆的姐姐不是女人啊？这样就叫随便？！你回去古代啦，起码可以抓她去浸猪笼... ...我看你活在现代也活得很辛苦！这个叫人缘，叫交际手腕... ...哎呀，你不懂的啦！因为这些你都没有。
爸：*无语*


Case Study 2 -

故事背景：为了讨论替我外婆请女佣的事，我叔叔在他家召开了家庭会议，出门前老爸对老妈再三嘱咐。

爸：（对老妈说）等一下开会，你不要讲太多话，让你哥哥弟弟去商量就好了。
我：为什么老妈不可以讲话？请她去开会，分明就是要听她的意见。去那边不讲话，还不如不去算了！哦，老妈是女儿，所以没有发言权是吗？要在那边静静坐着当花瓶是吗？再说，what do those uncles know about hiring maids？以前我们家的女佣，还不都是老妈选的？
爸：*无语*


看吧！碰到这种情况，叫我怎么积口德？

a day with me, myself & i

Lazy weekend afternoon.
Parents are out.
Decided that I should be out too.

Haven't tried Express Teppanyaki in donkey years, ever since the one at Century Square basement closed down.
Guess what? It's back at Tampines Mall basement!

Teppanyaki in Jap restaurants are often too pricey.
Tried satisfying my craving once at Sakae, but ended up feeling cheated.
Express Teppanyaki is still DA BEST!
Under $10, u get garlic beef, bean sprouts (all time fav), green veg, rice, soup & drink!

Went Tampines library after lunch, cos I feel stagnant. Or rather my brain sent me a signal telling me it feels stagnant, since I haven't touched books for... ...one month plus.
(Imagine the number of books I touched for my CDP101 drama module.)

Searched for books by Mitch Albom.
ALL ON LOAN.
He should be proud.
He's a DAMN popular author.

Turned to Nick Hornby instead.
Ever since I watched "An Education" (which made my Top 10 films of 2009), his wicked sense of humour never fails to impress me.
Just 3 pages and I knew: "Slam" is the book I'm gonna lend.

Ended my afternoon with a sneak preview of "It's Complicated" at GV Tampines.
Go watch it! Lots of yellow jokes. HOHOHO.

PS: Meryl Streep is really an acting legend. Is there ANYTHING she can't act?!

女扮男装

I'm surprised at my vulnerability for sad endings in comedies.

刚看完韩剧《原来是美男啊》，前几集笑到不行，最后几集哭到不行。

因为又是女主角女扮男装的桥段，所以刚开始看的时候，还有些不以为意，想看看“炒冷饭”能炒出什么新意。

现在只能说：我心服口服。完全被征服了。
才短短的十多集，就如此emotionally attached，我看我完了。

当初看日剧《花样少男少女》的时候也是这样。
结局没人死，也没人患绝症，女主角只是哭着一一道别罢了，我哭个屁啊？

有些剧集太煽情，摆明了要观众哭，我却哭不出来。
像这种偶像剧，前面嘻嘻哈哈，后面丢个催泪弹，我就哭惨了。

没办法，入戏太深就是这样。

PS：女扮男装，混入男生群中，好像不容易被发现。那么，男扮女装呢？

Q&A

Q: "Eh how come ur blog no photos one ah?"

A: "Eh wanna see photos go see my Facebook profile lah!"


Q: "Eh how come ur Facebook photos no captions one ah?"

A: "Eh how come u have so many qns ah? U stalker ah?"

side effects

Took my H1N1 vaccine today.
Doc said there's a 10% possibility of suffering from side effects eg. flu/cough/sorethroat.

Since it will take about one week for the side effects to surface, my dad CONVENIENTLY asked me to stay home and rest for the week (wow what a valid reason to ground me...as if I'd be grounded by THAT).
What's more: he FIRMLY believes that the 10% cases must have been serious enough to be hospitalised (the statistics ie. 10% must have been collated by hospitals to be published in the media). OH WOW.

So it's EITHER i suffer no side effects, OR i suffer side effects soO0 serious that I have to be hospitalised.
I better not sneeze even ONCE during the following week man.

Dad's theory: sneeze = flu = vaccine side effects = hospitalisation
EQUALS pls come and visit me at the hospital if I ask u to.

first discovery of 2010

Facebook Photo Uploader.
I FINALLY figured it out.

Sayonara to the SIMPLE uploader.
Cos it SIMPLY gets on my nerves all the time.

YAY expect more (overdue) Facebook albums from me!
