Scars For Me & Souvenirs For You

Tuesday, July 31, 2007

On my last post I was lamenting on how I am sleep deprived. Well, it's the complete opposite tonight. Maybe because I had myself a nice little nap earlier and it did me some good. :) Elvis came over! *bolt from the bluee* Came over with his things, conveniently telling me only when he was here that he's staying over. (i'm not complaining, only the lack of slping space because he occupies three quarter of the bed when he's in lala land AND his sudden spasms that are ohh so freaky!)

I was contemplating having a smoke and snuggling up with him but I reckon me staring into thin air and not falling asleep anytime soon so here I am. And here Danny is (via MSN) keeping me company with his random rendezvous with girls in aussie-land. Then he asks me to get my ass there soon. (all in good time baby)

--Cut--

Elvis just stretched and looks like he's gon' fall off the bed ! LET HIM! *sinister laughter*

--track back--

Where was I?? Hmm, anyway today is our 20th month. How time flies by so quickly! In just four months it'll be two years of us being together. I wrote him a letter earlier and when he read it, he was like "are you sure we've been together for 20months??" and i was like "shit, don't tell me I got it wrong!", he then replies with a smirk, "isn't it like two years plus already?!" Dudeeeee, two years?! Where have you been? Ha, i felt like slapping him, but then he said he was just testing me. Bollocks! Loser la, my baby.

He's going away to Arizona for two years. The earliest being June next year. I'm completely dreading it, and a part of me isn't acknowledging it just yet. It's not like he has a choice because the Air Force is sending him there for training. :( I will be occupied with work and school and that might distract me from all else, but for how long? It's not like BMT or camp book ins. It's two years away from Singapore, in a foreign land. He only comes back once a year. We haven't quite talked about it. Long distance relationships can be a bitch but I also know its not impossible. Just that, I'm not a fan of it you know? These things never turn out well. But I suppose we should get used to it, right? I do want to work things out. Seeing him sleep so soundly beside me now, makes me think about how much I'm gon' miss him when he's away. Time to savour the moments we have eh. Everything happens for a reason. Good or bad.

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

Mine will come true, right?

Sweet Dreams.

I AM MAJORLY SLEEP DEPRIVED!

I only slept at four am, after the long wait for my mom to head to bed, i GAVE UP! She didn't and I couldn't keep my eyes open just for a smoke before hitting the sack, so i gave in, gave up and tucked in at four-ish. Then then then, mommy wakes me at eight forty-five and tells me to shower and follow her to KK cause she was bleeding, slightly and got worried that her internal stitches or wound might have gotten infected and hence needed to be checked. Right away, I showered and we left as soon. Took us about three hours there, inclusive of the wait, consultation and collecting the medication. Was nothing to worry about, she was given medication there itself and was told to have sufficient rest for an additional two weeks of MC. (she was meant to head back to work on the 6th of Aug) She needs the rest because she's been on her feet at home quite a bit, typical of her. As much as you try and stop her its impossible, she is NEVER satisfied with the house work or how clean it is. (she is the epitome of obsessive compulsive disorder, i swear)

Sis met us after her work and my aunty was already with us and since mom wanted to eat something filling we decided on little india but ended up Mckenzie Restaurant for Chicken Rice, mixed vegetable, chilli kang kong, fried egg and you tiao with sotong which was just as good. I couldn't even finish my food la.

Mom wanted to pick out a traditional outfit for Elvis cause he's invited for my cousins temple wedding and dinner reception. And everyone is wearing traditional to the temple (duh!) hah, so elvis has to as well. He's gon' look sooo cute, never seen him in traditional indian mens wear. Hehe. Can't wait. However, we didn't see anything appealing. Plus baby wasn't there, so it was a bit tought deciding on something he might like, he's vain and fussy!

Since i was around the area, went for a much needed threading and bought me a new nose stud which i dont quite like. it's hot pink and seems to blend in so well with my skin tone for some reason. moreover its tiny. bleah!!!

Elvis cheated me! SIMPSONS movie date, it was suppose to be today ! LIAR LIAR LIAR, you went home after work. And it completely slipped my mind too. :( dang!

I am sleep deprived but I want to jog too. Should I jog come home, shower and sleep (which I doubt I'll do) OR or or should I sleep, wake up and then go for a jog?? Hmmmm, tough one.

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEP! - here I come, i need you.

Just when I was about to light my cigarette, I heard my moms room door open. DANG! I had to put it away and pretend I was sitting at my laptop. This sucks! I'm freaking twenty, and well the thing is mom knows I smoke but she's not too pleased about it. She even asked Elvis this evening if I still do. Well he obviously said, I don't, ANYMORE. Upset still reeked. Bleah.

So i've been waiting all night after getting back from JB to smoke and stepping out of the house would've been a tad bit obvious. Decided that the best time would be when the parents hit the sack. So much for that, she walks right back out forty five minutes later because she is sleepless. :( Grrrr! Now I've to wait, god knows how long before she decides to sleep.

Friday was soooo good! Met up with Lorraine and Steph as planned. At Mr Beans of course ! Ha! We had yummy food over non-stop conversations, trying to make up for lost times over a short time frame, because I was heading for a movie with the boyfriend and the girls were headed to DXO. How I've missed them, seems like we haven't grown up cause we were still giggling about the same lame things yet all grown up when it came to matters of the heart and other issues. We promised each other to meet soon. Before I get busy.

Elvis and I were meant to watch The Simpsons Movie, however, Ariel, Greg, Demos and Caroline joined us and opted out of watching that so we settled for Knocked Up which i was just as keen on watching cause the reviews were good plus the story line looked interesting. No regrets, a two hour fifteen minute movie, and though i was itching for a cigarette and a toilet break and in between nudging elvis to wake up (not because it was boring, but because he was that sleepy from a longgg day) the movie was fantastically hilarious, i swear! I was in stitches most of it, and ahem, quite a bit of nudity. That's when Elvis and the boys were pretty much awake! tsk! Hah! Had Boon Tong Kee chicken rice at Balestier and the damage was seventy two bucks, for chicken rice and side dishes too la. But YUMMY! Oh that was supper, if ya'll were wondering, Mr Beans was dinner. haha, and then came the jog the day after. =/

Saturday was spent aimless, went down to East Coast. Had stupid Macs. Macs always seems like rubbish and unsatisfying food. It's only there when i have the sudden feel for nuggets or french fries. But its never good enough a meal for dinner or lunch per say. Oh well. We had a brilliant idea of cycling BUT BUT BUT it was twelve something in the AM and none of the bicycle shops were open for rent. =( BOOHOO! For once we came up with something productive and everyone had a feel for it but NOOOOOOO we were late. We've postponed that to next weekend, hopefully thought they mentioned something about St James. We'll see!

I am turning in soon, not till i have my cigarette though.

Another early morning, here I come. Lalalalala!

Good Night and have a good week aheadddd! :)

So much for Adam Road Sting-Ray! We ended up at Greg's house coffee shop due to unforeseen circumstances which I clearly do not want to elaborate about. I completely lost my appetite as well, both Elvis and I. I went to bed and woke up this morning still thinking about it. I just keep praying and hoping everything is alright.

On a lighter and much happier note, I've made sexy plans to meet up with Lorraine and Stephy. We're heading to our usual hide-out/hang out. Every time we do a 'out of the blue meet-up', we end at Mr Beans Cafe opposite ParkLane. But I likee that place, it's so chilled out. Brings back sweet memories too. [We've got lots to catch up on darlings] Elvis and I are gon' catch Simpsons tonight!! It's the one and only animated show he's willing to catch. I wanted to watch Shrek, and he detested. I wanted to watch Happy Feet too, well he wasn't too happy about that either. :( So I'm glad we wants to catch this one, maybe because it's SIMPSONS. (if you get what i mean)

One more week and I'm back to the grindstone. Found out where STC is on the way back from Changi yesterday. I've to travel there everyday for the next six to seven weeks from August onwards. Least there's transport allowances. In a way I'm glad I've been getting used to the whole routine of waking up in the mornings. I realized there's a lot more time in my hands and I don't get tired too easily and sleep well at nights. This, I ought to get accustomed to mann! My work timing's gon' fluctuate and my body clock has to adjust to the changes quickly.

Time check: 2.32pm. If i nap now, I can do so for about an hour, so i better jump in and get a little rest before I head out. Will post pictures if any. :):)

The weekends here! Have a blast darlings, make the most of it.

yay! i'm typing this as i wait for babyface to shower. We're heading to Adam Road for some sting-ray, chilli kangkong and chinese rojak! wheeeeee!

Anyway, the two fools, Vimal and Casti were watching Prison Break and lied that they were watching Season 3! Asswipes! I ran to their laptop, only to find out it was effing season one!

Looking through pictures on babys comp and saw all our OLD picss! i Misssssss!

This was the FIRST picture we took together! 2005 and look how young he looks! Geez. At Desire with lorraine and senthil (this was NOT a date, yet i'll never forget this night, you were so drunk with Senthil)

This was before we caught some movie at Cine with Su-su, shalz and shafina. (dating)

From the walls, i'm assuming this was taken at Desire plus we both look a tad bit high. (still dating)

This was during our Regentville Days, when we were there too often. With Shalz and Suren, taken by the pool. (Still dating, haha)

This one was the first time we hit the beach together, Sentosa. It was most fun, we had Newton Sting Ray after and he sent me HOME via the MRT all the way to sembawang la, and then back home to aljunied, loser! (ha, so much for all that these days, now he doesn't know what public transport is, spoiled brat) The one I said 'stolen for a day in paradise'. Now I feel bad, but everything happens for a reason eh?

I'll post more pics when I'm over, gotta run now! Happy Thursday!

Just got back from changi. my dear su-su drove me to hand in some documents and sent me home. The weather, isn't it simply gorgeous? Such a good one to snuggle in bed with a hot chocolate and a book. That's exactly what I'm going to do, though my book from the library is two days overdue. Gotta finish it up asap, and return it. I'm always incurring fines from the library. Typically ME.

Sho cancelled our lunch date. She didn't say why because Lorraine told me Sho was already on her way back home. Something tells me its the weather that dragged her home. (hmmmm) Oh well. Was just msging lorraine and looks like we're making plans to meet for Dinner with steph too, hopefully that works out. :)

Ok, I know my life isn't very exciting right now, and I'm dozing off as I type this. So I'll leave the rest for later.

And hang in there darlings, the weekends almost near!

Toodles.

Spontaneity; that was todays hidden agenda.

Mom woke me up to accompany her to Sun Plaza because she wanted to wash her hair at the Salon. (yes, my mommy is spoiled, she doesn't wash her own hair. Since her surgery she has been doing it on her own, but today she thought she felt better and decided to head down to her hair dressers) Plus she wanted to get some groceries. I had time to kill while she did her hair, so i was thinking, what's there to do at Sun Plaza. Shopping didn't appeal, then I saw the dental clinic. Perfect time to polish and scale my teeth. It's in bad shape and the dentist gladly agreed, commenting every 3 minutes on how tar tar is bad for the teeth and I should've come in months ago for a clean up, that i was bleeding excessively and that i had three decays in total. THREE! Can you imagine? I've never had a decayed tooth, ever! I'm twenty and I have three, ok actually six BUT three major ones. :( Shhhh, keep your comments to yourselves. Considering how the ta ta family had happily reproduced themselves in my mouth, by my doing of course, I actually finished pretty fast.

I went back down to the Salon where my mom was and she asked if i wanted to colour my hair here instead of JB? well she was paying, (sniggers) so it was up to her. Settled for a warm chocolate brown, a la natural. :) I have to, this isn't by choice. But I was happy with the colour, least it wasn't BLACK. I cut bangs, again. Last year, right about this time when I went to Thailand, I cut bangs too. Looks just the same. Mommy said I look like a small girl all over again. Hah, and I trimmed my split ends too, finally. With TREATMENT, which was much needed. My hair feels sooooooo SOFT and nice. haha, which is never the case.

Heh and then..I finally bought jogging shoes. I told mom, its either you buy me laxatives or jogging shoes. Which i was obviously joking about. So she gave me moolah to buy something from sports link. I'm no runner, so i didn't need shoes that were branded or to flaunt. I look so unglam when I run i don't see why my shoes need to be any more glam.

Came home, pretty satisfied. Went online for a bit and then left straight away for a jog. Felt good yet taxing. Duh! Running after god knows how long. I'm waking up tomorrow morning to go for a jog. Mornings are the best time to run!

So I'm gonna have an early night tonight.

Lunch tomorrow with ShooooLa! YAY!

Sweet Dreams.

just updated my skin ! I settled for this because I everything else looks so (hmmmm) not me? Ugh, I'm tired, drained, I'm exhausted. I think those of you with a blog will gladly agree that choosing and editing your blogskin is not only time consuming but exhausting. My eyes are about to fall out, and I think it's about time I got to bed.

Baby has been staying over much, and when he does I'm off to bed by one. I rarely sit on my laptop so I'm never online at nights. Today however, he's not over and is home fast asleep. (time check: 1.14am) He was already asleep by eleven.

I need to head down to Changi to settle some paperwork with my company. But I'm so procrastinating! Maybe because I've been going up and down to Changi (by public transport) so darn often lately, I'm so bummed out to make another trip there. It's not going to be my final one either. *sulks* Might head down this Thursday and hopefully Suren darling can fetch me there. :)

Also, I need or rather want to go down to JB to do my hair. It's in dire need of a treatment, colour and maybe a perm. But I might do without the perm. Daddy got his bonus and mommy seems a little better, so she said she'll take me out to get some stuff (necessities) ! It's about time. YAY!

ok, time to have take a puff and i'm off to bed.

Night lovelies.

**Cause I love the way you call me Baby; and you take me the way I am.

ok something is so wrong with the texts appearing on my blog. It chooses when to appear and when not to. It's quite the annoying. Oh well, it's either I'm figuring out how to correct this darn thing or I'm changing my blog skin, which is gonna be a hassle. Bleah!

Anyway I was chatting with Sri and I was commenting on his display picture. Which was a cartoon of him. I figured that out cause it looked very 'Simpson-ish' and a lot like him. Then he told he generated it on the official Simpsons website and said I could do one of me. He volunteered to do it so i sent him a frontal shot of myself. Apparently the site was full and couldn't generate a picture at that point. So being the photoshop genious he is, he said he'd do one from scratch for me. Haha, when he sent it to me, i thought it so didn't look like me, but he said it was pretty hot. RIGHT! So this is me and Sri IF we were Simpsons characters.

Doesn't it look a lot like him, and less like me? But it was a good one though Sri. ;)

I didn't go to JB last night, so I'm waiting on Elvis' call and then I'm off. I'm in dire need of cigarettes man! =/ Sighss.

Ohh I uploaded the pictures of the lamb chops my sis made.

My aunty brought over another 20 pieces of chops so there were 69 pieces in total. It was a mushroom based sauce and mushroom soup which my sis made from scratch. Accompanied with baked beans and french beans. We finished all 69 of it within an hour. Can you believe it? There were ten of us, mom, dad, sis, my two cousins, two aunties, uncle, elfie and myself. My cousins and elvis probably ate 4 kilos of chops on their own. And i am not exaggerating!

Dinner was good, needless to say. Next week it's my turn to cook. Stuffed chicken in cheese sauce baked with potatoes. :) You've to wait till next week for pictures.

Sri just said he's coming over to my place for a smoke and to chill for a bit. The boy is flying off to Thailand for two and half weeks (this is what the army does to man we care about, how unfair right?) tonight. And we were suppose to meet for lunch today, but so much for that. Well its never too late.

Off to shower! Later.

I told him I was gon' snap and this was the "candid" pose he gave me. Action la my boy!

Mrs Greg. ;)

This picture, I like, but i don't know where I was looking la

Ok, here I a bit action only ah

*kiss* however he was so faking the kiss cause i had lip gloss on. Asswipe!

Identity crisis!

The inseparable couple, for real.

Elvis looks so vulnerable here. So cute! haha

Remember, I said he has a charisma of his own? Maybe I should take it back eh? haha

showing some loveeeeee

Meet Greg No 2 and his girlfriend.

Ok, this is the awesome champagne i was talking about!

As IF they got married. So cute these two, one minute they are in a squabble the next min they are hand in hand.

She doesn't drink, AT ALL! Hence the disgusted face.

The WATERFALL that accomplished our mission of getting him smashed!

And then he needed a TIME-OUT!

MY saturday was a blast with a capital B! :) HICCUP. I ended up not going to the ZOO after all. *sobs* Yes, cause the weather was being a complete bitch and we didn't want to take the chances even though it was cloudy, but it did start pouring around four-ish, so thankfully we didn't go. PLUS I was having food poisoning of some sort. I was going back and forth to the loo from morning and I was so dehydrated. Anything I ate or drank came right back out! I gave up eating till my stomach settled after I drank 'Omum' water. (don't ask me what that is, it's suppose to ease tummy pains and wind in the stomach or something, mommy gets it from tekka) I was contemplating heading out to St James. But it was Greg's birthday and I didn't want to give it a pass.

I got ready at Elvis'. Ohh and I bought a new dress. I love it la! We had to make it there by 930pm because we reserved tables and ariel was signing us in because she's a member. Elvis and I were the latest! This time it wasn't ME! (picking out what you're gonna wear a day in advance and not changing your mind, always always saves a hell lot of time!) It was ELVIS fussing over his hair. He wasn't satisfied and kept styling and restyling it. And we WOMEN are the vain ones? I beg to differ. So are our men!

Anyhow, they waited for us and all was good when we got there. Started off with a Chivas and Black Label, later champagne which was glorious! Probably the best I've had, I can't remember the name of it though. But the bottle was red. Hmmm, then we had two more Chivas bottles. It was CRAZY! The best part, nobody got drunk! Maybe that's also the worst part. Besides greg of course. He WAS and then he got it all out of his system. By PUKING in the ice bucket. When we saw that, I think the rest of us felt like gagging. :/ But thank god for the ice bucket nearby. It came in handy. So mission was accomplished with Greg. But the rest of us drank so much, like even the girls weren't high, high! Ok, maybe a little but we were dancing it out. That could have kept us sober too. The music at the Boiler Room with the Live Band rocked! The last time I went there, I wasn't too impressed. I must add, they are good. We were gonna make our way to powerhouse, however everytime we decided to make a move, the music kept us grounded. It was AWESOME!

On the whole, I had a fab time! The weather just killed it when we were leaving. SO much for supper. Because of the heavy rain we decided to head back. I had a goooooooood sleep though! :)

I've to wake elfie up in 5 mins. We're heading back to my place for dinner. My sis is making lamb chops! Mommy bought five kg of chops and there were 49 pieces. Psycho right? haha. So mom invited my aunty, uncle, cousins and elvis over for dinner. I've already salivating thinking about the chops. Hurhur. JB after dinner, to buy cigarettes and pump petrol. I told elvis that we should just live in JB. We go there so freaking often, but wth? I get Ramly, cigarettes and gum! I shall not complain.

Off to wake my sleepybaby.

PS: I'll post pictures from last night when I get home.

I AM NOT GONNA BE A HOUSEWIFE IN THE FUTURE !

I cannot stress the above statement anymore then I already have. The past two weeks I have been waking up early every morning to cook and clean. I'm completely exhausted from it ! I need a break, so much so I was lamenting to mommy this morning, "Mom can you ask daddy to take the next week off, because I am too tired and I can't remember when was the last time I woke up at two or three in the afternoon." She gasped when I said that and went on for a whole fifteen minutes saying how energetic she was when she was my age. As usual. I then told her, "Mark my words, after this tormenting experience, I reckon me not wanting to stay home and be a housewife! I'm going out to work!" She just laughed in response and said "we'll see who takes care of your kids." I don't know what she meant by that neither did I want to know. =/

I can't wait for tomorrow. Our Zoo date is finally here ! wheeeeeeee!

Meeting Tanya and Charlie boy along with Elfie! It's been so long since I went there. I miss Ah Meng and the Chimpz, the leopards and the Elephants! All of them! Ok i sound like I grew up there. Well I made it a point to go there at least once a year when I was younger and then all that just came to a halt. Now I'm going to make it a yearly routine again. (elvis, you better be prepared hor?)

St. James tomorrow night for Gregory's Birthday! Going out in a bit cause Elfie gave me money to buy myself a dress or whatever I want for tomorrow. (thank you baby!)

Guess I won't be posting an entry over the weekend, so have a good weekend my lovelies! :)

Yesyes, so this is my 3rd (hopefully final) blog address in the shortest time. =/

Sorry la, I wasn't too happy with my Xanga and I was getting bored with seeing my face as the template and if you want skins for xanga you need to sign up for the premium package or something and upgrade it. Plus I wanted something really simple, and I settled for this skin. Need to make a bit of amends here and there though.

It's Thursday and I'm being such an old hag and staying home for the past couple of days. Elf's been staying over since last week, so in the mornings I'm busy making breakfast for him and mommy (since i'm taking care of her) and when he leaves, i get to snooze for a bit before waking up to do the house chores and then preparing lunch for mom. If i'm lucky i get to nap in the the afternoons till elvis comes home to my place. I baked him a stew pie with the letter E on it last night, it was sooooo YUMMY! (taste wise too ok!)

Tonight we went out to have Hokkien Mee near my place and came back soon after. He left awhile ago to go meet his friends while I rot here. (I'm not complaining, i'm tired anyway) Once he gets back I'm heading to bed. SHIT! I have to wash his uniform. (cursing under her breath)

okok, i'm off to be a slave to someone!

Night :)
