People is REALLY funny and ironic

When they are single, they kinda desperate for a partner.. worry that they going to be single forever and ever… create jokes like if we are single by the age of XX, we will marry each other.. some even wants to go si ma lu and pray for love (and they are not even religious type of person).. but when they are attached, suddenly they hang themselves high wor.. when ask them when is the wedding bell, they will say not that soon, not in the hurry, she/he may be not the one.. LOL! How come so different de?????

When I faced some sticky situation, and need time to maneuver around to get it done. People keep saying you should faster get it done once for all. Since I already decide to cut it all, then cut it all instead of dragging it. But when I FINALLY get it done, cut it all, people would feel it sad, or rather find the outcome a sad thing. Errr, but the situation is no longer there, shouldn’t it be a happy thing???

When I have decided to do something, I just get it done and over. I wont change my mind 99% of the time because I really thought hard before deciding. So when I stick firm to the my decision, people would say don’t you hope that somehow there are some remedy somewhere, or the problem can be minimized one way or another.. errr, if I decide to eradicate the problem, I want to eradicate the problem.. I don’t hope for miracle, some random remedy somewhere, or the problem will compromise itself. And I still don’t understand if things just proceed as per my expectation, why should I feel sad about it?? I should be happy that things are going according to my plan, isn’t it?

It’s not that im adnormal.. is just that im the type of person that can’t tolerate the same shit over and over again.. if the situation is shitty, and I been in it for bloody long time, then I just step out of it. All respects to the people who believes that problem will solve itself or believes that shit will turn to gold some point of time. But seriously I don’t have such luck, so eradicating shit is still the most feasible solution

And i say before.. im a very simple person.. my emotional is singular, one way type.. if im sad, im sad.. if im happy, im happy...i dont have those happy but inside heart is abit emo type of feelings.. somehow god forgotten to instal multple emotions in me (which normally gals possess).. things get done, im happy.. sad things get done, im happy.. im being happy is things get done part, so i dont know how to feel sad for the sad thing part.. my emotion is REALLY singular, one way type... dont know how to feel sad & happy at the same time..LOL!

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want
You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
But told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You tried to break me, but you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not a broken hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking bout me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

I thought it would mean something. I thought it would last or at least last for few years as what you “assure” me. I guess both of us are wrong, or at least right now im the only one who think we are wrong. As for you, either you are delusional or too stubborn to admit we are wrong. I guess that how the story ends. It hurts me to tell you that “why not let’s just remain friends”. But when you ask whether this question is hypothetical or im seriously asking it. Looking at your eyes, I can’t bring myself to say im serious, so I said hypothetical. With a smile, you answered “I can say no right?”

I prefer to end with a good note. I don’t want to end up like your past relationship. Dangling halfway because one party does not want it to end. You just cant be bother (or at least I find you cant be bother) and just let it be. As time pass, you take it the relationship has ended. I don’t like this type of uncertainty and don’t want to end like that. The difference in your attitude is quite obvious yet you deny the obvious and claiming that you are busy. The stunts that you come out totally max out my patience. I have been accommodating, but I guess I shouldn’t continue to be understanding. Perhaps I really been too accommodating until you begin taking me for granted, and I will always be there for you. I’m not a strong believer of love is blind & absence makes heart grow fonder. And I believe you are not too.

Hence I decide to just let it end and fade away. Remind myself not to give in and stop being soft hearted...

还是原来那个我
不过流掉几公升泪所以变瘦
对着镜子我承诺
迟早我会还这张脸一堆笑容
不算什么爱错就爱错
早点认错早一点解脱
我寂寞寂寞就好
这时候谁都别来安慰拥抱
就让我一个人去痛到
受不了想到快疯掉死不了就还好
我寂寞寂寞就好
你真的不用来我回忆里微笑
我就不相信我会笨到
忘不了赖着不放掉
人本来就寂寞的借来的都该还掉

我总会把你戒掉 Oh WU Oh

还是原来那个你
是我自己做梦你又改变什么
再多的爱也没用
每个人要每个人的孽障因果
会有什么什么都没有
早点看破才看得见以后 OH
我寂寞寂寞就好
这时候谁来都别来安慰拥抱
就让我一个人去痛到
受不了想到快疯掉死不了就还好
我寂寞寂寞就好
你真的不用来我回忆里微笑
我就不相信我会笨到
忘不了赖着不放掉
人本来就寂寞的我总会把你戒掉

dilemma in life.. at least current stage of my life.. should i move out of my comfort zone or should i stay put? some said to stay put, even i not happy, im not unhappy... some said to move out, at least i cant get worse than now..

last month i did decide to move out of my comfort zone, but slowly & gradually, taking my own sweet time... afterall, i have about 2years of time to slowly make my way out.. i guess things happen for a reason, god gives me a catalyst. frankly speaking im not sure whether is it a catalyst or trial. because the reason move from being a catalyst to trial within a month. im not sure the problem lies with me? it started quite out of the blue.. and maybe the way i handle is not the best way, but im suffering in shock! took me about a month to realize what is happening, and now is seems to be heading no way or at least the wrong way..

maybe is the time i shook myself, brace myself and face the music... time for HTH talk which i absolutely hate! why cant people just understand? see me as myself? take it as what i said without adding any assumption & stuffs? things can be pretty simple if you let it be...

If I only left with an hour, I would tell you how special you are to me.

I really cherish every moment with you and treating it as if it is the last moment with you.

Wish that I can lay beside you every minute of my life
and you cuddle me every minute of your life.

Wish I can touch your face especially your nose every now and then.

With my last hr, I want to be with you until my heart stop beating,

and you will be the last image before I close my eyes

i try to spree with smoochiezz (http://smoochiezz.com/index.php?route=spree/orderform&order_id=80) and the shipping for 1 urban decay palette is $19 for shipping and normal postage!!! according to them, palette is equal to 3 to 4units!!!!

i need to stop watching those children home show...everytime watching these shows make me want to adopt them! during the recent family gathering, i was question again when i giving birth.. i just told casually i thinking of adoption.. immediately tio shoot by my sis "you think u angeline jolin mei?!" LOL! haiz... but the whole world is already overpopulated, why still want to give birth? there are so many people who shouldnt give birth like those parents who are too poor to even feed themselves, those parents who are too ill (especially those HIV / AIDS).. nan dao low or no education people wouldnt know they bringing a child to hell, rather than earth? is bloodline that important?? child is just child.. if without bloodline, a child isn't our child?

for dogs, people can jolly well say there are so many stray dogs. stop breeding, start adopting... but human race is overpopulated for so long, why no one say stop breeding, start adopting? furthermore human is killing the earth more than dogs... haiz..really dun understand why adoption is such a bad idea...

lucky my SO always supportive in my weird decision... but how to psycho my family??

if i cant adopt, i would rather not to give birth... i'm quite extreme in some way i guess...

had a really bad eerie dream last night! *emo* even i woke up, cant shake the eerie feelings away!

cant remember the exact dream, but my family and i are touring somewhere. not sure why my family is waiting at some area to board ship except my brother and i. so we went to take lift down to meetup with them. but the lift we took is not normal guest lift, is something like staff lift or mini cargo lift. the lift is quite bad condition and old. when my brother & i enter the lift, suddenly an old man appeared and enter the lift. we did not see any people behind us while going into the lift. we just shake it off and think maybe we just too concentrated in rushing down. when the old man entered the lift, lift door closed. suddenly the old man disappear. is like he still at the same floor while the lift move down. the scary thing is his arm is "trapped" at the lift door! i went to poke/slap/hit it to make sure i'm not hallucinating or maybe want to see whether is real or ghost hand. when i poke/slap/hit it, the hand started to sway and trying to grab my hand (or anything it can grab!) when the lift door open, the hand suddenly disappear, my brother & i quickly dash out of the lift and meetup with my parents!

i woke up around here and feel very eerie... suddenly i heard some wood tapping/clicking sound in my bedroom... i quickly go wear my super duper power protection necklace and go back to dream land~~

story still havent ends! when i was walking into my office and towards my desk. suddenly i heard some female mumbling sound, so i turned and "huh" my female colleague. and she told me "i never say anything lei". when i told her i heard someone saying something, she become more bewildered and double confirm with me she really never say anything! nan dao the company ghost start to stalk me?? i gt put my thai amulet on my desk hor!

2011-04-20T11:47:00.001+08:00

today someone asked me whether i have alot of clothes at home. i was wondering why he asked me so i told him normal lo. he notice that i wore different clothing everyday for almost a month! it is quite surprising for him to notice because both of us from different dept wor... i told him my maid went back philippines for a month so no one doing the laundry. no choice everyday have to wear new clothes because old clothes havent wash ma..haha... he say he will pity the maid once she back home..considering that my guest room become my laundry room now - dirty clothes in two big laundry baskets and some washed clothes on the bed. ya, she will be very busy this weekend... perhaps i should stock up more undergarments and PJs.. because i only have 1 week stock of undergarments and 2 week stock of PJs.. that why i need to wash my undies & PJs..for normal clothings, i think i have more than a month stock la.. but ar, undergarments is much more expensive than clothings lei! one bra i can buy 2-3 dresses..haiz..

sian-ing char bos in yakuza 4 really expensive!!! go to club one time is arnd yen20,000 and it still excludes the alcohol, snacks and misc charges! i ji tao is pawning stuffs to make sure all the three gals love deep deep in love with me. by the way i only playing Shun Akiyama now.

~~fancy business cards~~

i enjoy going to hotspring and i can play table tennis with the hostess. personally i find it damn hard to win them! you have to keep on staring the boobs to gain the heat level while trying to hit the ball back to them. maybe i dont know how to play table tennis, so i keep hitting out which means 1 point is won by the hostess. i need to power up until i can smack the bloody ball on their breast or somewhere they cant hit it. when i gaining the knowledge of playing table tennis, i able to score 7 or more. then i realize the yukata will be more and more low cut, which means more breast exposure! so when e gal is swaying left and right, you can see their boobs bouncing left & right...haha...

REVIEW PS3: Dragon Age II

2011-04-13T16:52:00.001+08:00

Been waiting for DA2 to launch ever since they post up the trailer. EA also greatly promote the game and the trailer really look damn good. But in actual, it doesnt really lift up to my expectation. Maybe DA1 is really a damn solid game especially the interaction part within the party members.

For the trailer, Hawke invoke blood magic and "death" fight with Qunari. so i expect the final boss fight to be similar pattern la. but hor totally not wor! Nevertheless Hawke did fight with Qunari in one of the boss fight, but i chose to fight in a group because i use rouge la. And the boss fight is really lame la, at least to me. the storyline also not as fascinating as DA1. Seriously i find that they can come out with a better storyline and ending. Spoiler - (in the end, Hawke fights Orsino & Meredith to death because both parties walk fire become demon! very crap lei! throughout the game two of them are already trying to kill each other, then at e end i have to kill both of them to end the game. seriously?!?! cant they come out a better plot! total disappointment)

As for the interaction between party members, i also prefer DA1. beside Varric, other party members seem very boring. maybe tat y limited hanky panky scene, unlike DA1 :P Giving of gifts also by game default, which means once u gt the gift, you can only give to the person who meant to receive it. You need not worry that you will give the wrong thing to the wrong person like DA1.

Beside sucky story plot and boring party members, i like the game controls. it is easier to control the team in DA2. Although DA2 keep focusing on Hawke, you still have to control rest of the team now & then to make the team more efficient. Power up chart is almost the same as DA1. The patterns are similar la, like elemental magics; rock armour; different types of shooting arrows. The minor changes i notice are the experience of lockpicking & dismantle traps are link directly to the rouge cunning. So the higher is your cunning skill, e better is your lockpicking & dismantle traps skill. Another change is you can power up on your skills. Example you learn fireball, you can make the fireball more power but of course it will cause you 1 attribute point la.

Personally i find that DA2 is shorter game than DA1. The side quests also not as much as DA1. Story plot lousier than DA1. Party members more boring than DA1. EA shouldnt raise my expectation so high at the first place la! I'm DA fan lei. even i know DA2 is below par than DA1, i will also play one. Resident evil series are also getting lousier and lousier, i also play all of the series?! i'm very loyal fan de~

I'm not saying that DA2 is a lousy game. it is still very nice game to play. just that my expectation was risen too high and DA1 is really damn good. so i find DA2 is a disappointment to me.

PS3: Dead Space 2 & Severed

2011-03-25T15:48:00.001+08:00

have been waiting for dead space 2 after completing dead space 1. i love horror games and part 2 is even more eerie than part 1. there are more different types of monsters and are more challenging than the previous ones. raptors monsters run damn fast so is very hard to kill them. luckily they always running the same route so u can just camp for them. i also hate little kids monsters coz they always come in horde! surprising the boss fight is quite easy. dont know why i save so many ammos & bought health pack. should buy new weapon to try lo!

the story continue from part 1, and you must watch dead space aftermath to see the linkage. for those that never watch dead space aftermath, this is the brief summary. when Issac made his escape during part 1, he was saved and stored in a "coffin" for further research as he is the "lucky" one to encounter Marker. The organization doing the research also sent few staffs to a going-to-explode planet to collect the Marker fragment. However anyone that touch the fragment starts to have hallucination. Because the fragment has life on it own and is too advanced for human to understand the technology. Somehow i find that the Marker does not want to be found by human and the hallucination it creates, wants the human to sabotage their plan so that they will not create their own disaster. However this smart alex scientist, Stross went to do further experiment as he realize the Marker fragment has DNA formula to enhance the human DNA, some sort to make us super human. So he took one of the corpse and place it together with the fragment. Blink of an eye, the corpse re-generated and suddenly disappear. Stross went to open the enclosure (and i thought scientist should be smart enough not to be so rash) and ta-da! our first monster created! so he went around killing people. with more corpse around, and fragment is expose to the whole space ship, we have more & and more monsters created! Stross went crazy (or maybe due to hallucination) killed his wife & baby because he thought they are monsters. Together with few staffs on board, they managed to destroy the fragment and save themselves. Rest of the staffs are killed by the organization except Stross. He is stored in the "coffin" right beside Issac.

And dead space 2 comes into the picture now. Suddenly monsters came out of nowhere and both Issac & Stross are woken from their coffin. Like part 1, Issac has to find a way out, destroy Marker and save himself AGAIN. Halfway he found a female staff & Stross. But Stross went full fledged crazy and was killed by Issac. by working together with the female staff, they found a space ship and able to save her out of the nightmare. After losing Stross and cannot remember how to destroy the Marker, he was lose for a moment. And tada, his dead wife re-appear and gives him hint! So off he goes to his adventure again, met the general who trying to kill her, kill the general and met the final boss! (Spoiler: all along his dead wife is a vision that marker create to prepare him for his journey to combine him and the Marker together. So the final boss is the marker at the background, and his wife is walking nearer & nearer to him. once she touched Issac and they combine into one, it is game over! so u just have to keep shooting the wife until she disappear, marker's core will be expose, keep on shooting. third round more monster shadows will appear, but you just have to carry on the same tactics until marker is destroyed.) Then the female staff u saved will blast down with the spaceship and saved you! THE END~~

for severed dl, it is only 2 chapters and cost me $9! personally i find it quite expensive but is different storyline. this captain (i forgot his name) want to save his wife, and he eventually saved his wife but he ends up dead. no happy ending for dead space series! not sure whether the power up is not as much as Issac, but i find it is more challenging to play as captain. but i love the rifle which i didnt use when playing as Issac. And i manage to find an Oscar looking trophy which i havent google to find the function yet.

anyway i didnt able to use all the weapons and replay it because my friend lend the game to me. by 2nd week, he sms me saying that his only concern is by 3rd week the game is sold for $50. i show his sms to several of my friends, and the way they interpret his sms is same as me. he doesnt care whether i have completed the game or not, he just want to see $50 in his bank acct. if i need to play longer, then i have to pay him $50 and buy the game from him. anyway no one buys from him for 1week or so, so i manage to complete in time before passing it to the buyer. at least i know why his friend doesnt want to borrow games from him now. thinking back, the games i loan to him is always 1month or more. until my games no value, i also never care that much. since is so difficult, i think i will be like his friend, dun loan from him anymore. if he wants to loan game from me, i will set 2 week loaning time too.

in conclusion dead space 2 has more monsters, more weapons, more actions, so definitely worth playing! it is even more eerie than dead space 1 and i been scared several times. i hate it when i knew when the monsters are coming yet i still ganna scared! i must be getting more timid.....

Pumpkin bread

2011-03-23T23:56:00.002+08:00

2nd attempt in baking bread, and i dun understand why is consider easy baking. bake muffin, bake pie, bake cake are all much easier. perhaps baking bread dun use much ingredients, but kneading sure is a killer. i dont know whether the problem is i'm a beginner in kneading, but personally i find it very tedious. i really sweat while kneading the bread for10mins! kneading can consider exercise!

1st attempt i find kneading is a chore (now i still find it is a chore), so i just knead until the flour disappear and dump into the oven. didnt know kneading is a important step for baking bread, so end up my bread texture is abit like chinese huat kueh. but still my SO finish all of it with complaints...

2nd attempt i really took effort in kneading until my wrist started to ache. and the texture of bread is really much better. tmr my SO will taste and hopefully with minimum complaints...

for me, i dont really like pumpkin. but it is a really healthy. Pumpkin is low in fat & calories, with full packed of vitamins & antioxidants. my SO is much more health conscious than me and he been niaming all the desserts i baked are fattening which is bad for him. pumpkin bread for him!

Lemon Cheesecake

I know the look is quite cui.. i'm out of baking paper so the circumference of the cake stick to the cake mould when i remove it. i change the baking method and forgot to alter the time. So the cake kinda rise too much and become "over fluffy" instead of thick & rich. but that's the way i like it :P i prefer my cheescake more fluffy than rich. serious! need to work on the outlook!! and i bought baking paper already... It's taste real nice though.. my SO hiam my new york cheesecake, my blueberry cheesecake, but he never hiam my lemon cheesecake. when i told him that he can take the cheesecake to work, he took all of the above! i kinda shock my cheesecake went missing in my fridge when i want to eat as dessert! anyway i not baking cheesecake that soon because cheesecake is quite exp.... my next experiment is pumpkin bread~~

Ingredients

***Crust***

5 ounces animal crackers or tea biscuits

3 tablespoons sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and kept warm

***Filling***

1 1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

3 packages (8-ounce size) cream cheese, cut into rough 1-inch chunks and left to stand at room temperature 30 to 45 minutes

4 large eggs, room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup heavy cream

***Lemon curd***

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

2 large eggs

1 large egg yolk

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and chilled

1 tablespoon heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

Directions

For the crust: Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a food processor, process the cookies to fine, even crumbs, about 30 seconds (you should have about 1 cup). Add the sugar and pulse 2 or 3 times to incorporate. Add the warm melted butter in a slow, steady stream while pulsing; pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened and resembles wet sand, about ten 1-second pulses. Transfer the mixture to 9-inch springform pan; using the bottom of a ramekin or a dry measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly and evenly into the pan bottom, keeping the sides as clean as possible. Bake until fragrant and golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature, about 30 minutes. When cool, wrap the outside of the pan with two 18-inch-square pieces of heavy-duty foil; set the springform pan in a roasting pan.

For the filling: While the crust is cooling, process 1/4 cup sugar and lemon zest in a food processor until the sugar is yellow and the zest is broken down, about 15 seconds, scraping down the bowl if necessary. Transfer the lemon sugar to a small bowl; stir in the remaining 1 cup sugar.

In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on low to break up and soften slightly, about 5 seconds. With the machine running, add the sugar mixture in a slow steady stream; increase the speed to medium and continue to beat until the mixture is creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the eggs two at a time; beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl well after each addition. Add the lemon juice, vanilla, and salt and mix until just incorporated, about 5 seconds; add the heavy cream and mix until just incorporated, about 5 seconds longer. Give the batter a final scrape, stir with a rubber spatula, and pour into the prepared springform pan; fill the roasting pan with enough hot tap water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake until the center jiggles slightly, the sides just start to puff, the surface is no longer shiny, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the cake registers 150 degrees, 55 to 60 minutes.

Turn off the oven and prop open the oven door with a potholder or wooden spoon handle; allow the cake to cool in the water bath in the oven for 1 hour. Transfer the springform pan without the foil to a wire rack; run a small paring knife around the inside edge of the pan to loosen the sides of the cake, and cool the cake to room temperature, about 2 hours.

For the lemon curd: While the cheesecake bakes, heat the lemon juice in a small nonreactive saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.

Whisk the eggs and yolk in a medium nonreactive bowl; gradually whisk in the sugar. Whisking constantly, slowly pour the hot lemon juice into the eggs, then return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture registers 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer and is thick enough to cling to a spoon, about 3 minutes. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cold butter until incorporated; stir in the cream, vanilla, and salt, then pour the curd through a fine-mesh strainer into a small nonreactive bowl. Cover the surface of the curd directly with plastic wrap; refrigerate until needed.

To finish the cake: When the cheesecake is cool, scrape the lemon curd onto the cheesecake still in the springform pan; using an offset icing spatula, spread the curd evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours. To serve, remove the sides of the springform pan and cut the cake into wedges.

For my cheesecake, i didnt follow the baking method and change it to baking at 170degree for 30-50mins because i dont have roasting pan and find the author's method quite tedious

the point that i found interesting in chapter 4 of I Don't, A contrarian history of marriage by Susan Squire is how romans define woman is incapable of making decision.

"woman is a violent & uncontrolled animal, and it is no good giving her reins. you have go to keep the reins firmly in your hands. what they want is complete freedom-or, not to mince words, complete license. if they carry this present issue by storm, what will they not try next?"

it is so ironic that most of the above paragraph is directed to men nowadays rather than women. then the "story" continues about men stopping women to wear purple and gold. when women able to keep their own inheritance, able to divorce their husbands, another "social problem" pops out - plummeting birth rate! but i do hope our government wont use the same method as usus. *cross fingers*

in chapter 5 is about cure for lust, but i dont find there is any interesting point. basically u want to cure lust, just get married. "In Paul's view, marriage is not a sin. It's a lust-containment facility. And for the facility to function properly, mutual sexual service must be provided" By the way, Paul is one of the early bird flock whom are writing for the new testament 20-30 yrs post-crucifixion. hopefully mutual sexual service is really mutual in the marriage. if not, the belief can be easily distort to sexual abusion

chapter 6 will be last chapter i going to review..because most of the chapters there are fascinating points that women will be very interested to know. so if you are keen on these, please buy or lend it from the library. Basically in chapter 6, the author talks about the story of Augustine. But the focus point is sex between married couple must be reproduction only. if sex is for passion, lust or any form of enjoyment/entertainment, it is a sin. "The babymaking urge and none other justifies the 'nuptial embrace'; babymaking wont happen in the absence of his and her orgasms; to climax is (general speaking) to experience pleasure; to experience pleasure is heinous. Micromanaging conjugal sex turns out to be a tough job, but apparently someone's got to do it" And i wonder how many couples in present era able to do it. LOL~

after completing the book, my book look like below, with lots of marking here and there. my SO saw the book and was amazed on the marking. he roll his eyes and told me i dont even mark my textbook when i'm studying in poly & uni. if my textbooks are that interesting, i would already ace on my subjects! LOL~

i highly recommend the book! seriously i find it is much more interesting & logical than men from mars; women from venus, which alot of females rave about it. Anyway it is my POV and i didnt really read men from mars; women from venus :P But i have briefly browse thru the book and also read the points that readers had quoted from the book. Alot of points doesnt apply to me. Perhaps i know my mate well enough and we understand each other lifestyle, needs & wants. So i dont really need another book (or stranger that dun even know us) to advise on how to improve our r/ship. Instead I'm more interested to know about the history, the roots, the core, the beginning of male & female.

2011-03-10T12:42:00.002+08:00

continue in extracting the points that i find fascinating in I Don't, A contrarian history of marriage by Susan Squire...

in chapter 2, i find that the focus is about the function of female is just giving birth. and how the author interpret why women is treated like a property to a man from the tenth commandment & adultery commited from the seventh commandment.

"You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not convet your neighbour's wife, or his male or female slave, or his ox or ass, or anything that is your neighbour's. House, wife, ox - legally, they are equivalent; All are chattel, the lawful property of the man who possess them." For nearly a thousand years, an Englishman sick of his wife could slip a halter around her neck, lead her to market - the cattle market, and sell her to the highest bidder, often with her willing participation. This informal route to divorce for the lower classes lasted until at least 1887. Keeping that in mind, the seventh commandment "You shall not commit adultery" has to mean one thing for woman and another for men. And it does: A woman is guilty of adultery if she sleeps with any man other than her husband, while a man is guilty ONLY if he sleeps with another man's wife or betrothed."

i think all females are glad that we dont live in the past anymore. men should not complain about women's charter after learning how we, female being treated for so damn long! That's not all in chapter 2. If you read on, you will understand why men will can have sex with their daughters or sisters in law! But the best part is the definition of a ideal wife - She is sober, modest, charitable, maternal, industrious, thrifty, prudent, discreet, selflessly supportive of her husband, homely & asexual.

In chapter 3, it focus on how whorehouse is invented. But in the past, "chickens" are more high class ok! They are called Hetaerae. They are well-educated, culturally literate, and socially as well as sexually sophisticated; everything a wife is not. What i find most interesting is this sentence "We keep hetaera for our delight, concubines for the daily needs of our bodies, wives so that we may breed legitimate children and have faithful housekeepers." Seriously alot of men is born too late to enjoy this type of luxury in life. And alot of men is too poor to support this type of luxury lifestyle too!

Reading deeper in the chapter, you will understand why there is sodomy especially those "saints". "In the hierarchy of human relationships reportedly condified by Plato, cerebral love between men (women are incapable of archieving it) is considered the highest form; sexual love between men, though not as exalted as the "platonic" variety, is still superior to heterosexual passion (for a courtesan of course not a wife), which should be fleeting." When i read this part, i ji tao roll eyes! Just because male produce sperm so they are the generating party. Female incapable of produce spem and only will be at the receiving end. Hence we are the lower being?! Later in the chapter the author wrote how glorify is men when they sacrifice, and how women is only glorify if she sacrifice for her husband

have been having insonmia for 2 weeks and most probably are the books i read before i sleep... so after completing beautiful creatures & black magic sanction, i decide to read more boring books. hopefully will bored my braincells and i can fall asleep faster! so i picked I Don't, A contrarian history of marriage by Susan Squire.

true enough, after chapter 1, i'm too exhausted to go on....the book is not boring at all and very intriguing. for gals that just dump by guys, i would recommend the book. but for gals with low esteem & guys not really advisable...lol...anyway this is wat i felt after reading the first chapter...

summary of the first chapter is about adam & eve. this is the part, adapted from the book, which i totally agree because i can see the trace of "genetic" from male & female...

"Who told you that you were naked?" asks God, although this much be a rheorical question, like the one that follows: "Did you eat of the tree from which i had forbidden you to eat?"
Does Adam do the manly thing? Does the buck stop with him? No way. He blames Eve. He even blames God. He blames everyone but himself. "the woman you put at my side, she gave me of the tree, and i ate"

Does God, whose instructions regarding that tree have been as far as we know, directed to Adam, allow these lame excuses to slide without comment? Yup. He leaves Adam alone, for the moment, and zeros in on "the woman" saying, "what is this that you have done?" It's clear that "you" is not plural. "you" is Eve, and ONLY Eve. On the timing the story turns; the crime turns; and also the punishment.
Eve doesnt win any points for grace under pressure, either. She joins in on the blame game: "The serpent duped me, and i ate"

This is only one small interesting part of chapter 1. There are alot of other interesting point like God punish Adam is not because he ate the forbidden fruit, but he obeys his wife. I will continue to read the book and hopefully there are more interesting points to excite me.

REVIEW: Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy Bundle: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

2011-02-24T14:30:00.001+08:00

Description

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families disappeared without a trace more than forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to try to discover what happened to her. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a journalist recently sidelined by a libel conviction, to investigate. Blomkvist is aided by the pierced and tattooed computer prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption on their way to discovering the truth of Harriet Vanger’s fate.

The Girl Who Played with Fire

Mikael Blomkvist, now the crusading publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation. On the eve of its publication, the two reporters responsible for the article are murdered, and the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to his friend Lisbeth Salander. Blomkvist, convinced of Salander’s innocence, plunges into an investigation of the murders. Meanwhile, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous game of cat and mouse, which forces her to face her dark past.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest

Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. On her own, she will plot revenge—against the man who tried to kill her, and against the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.

Review

For book 1, i find the story abit boring. i not sure whether stieg larsson is trying to built up the plot in a slow boring way or he just want to make the book thicker. seriously i read until almost 50% of the book, finally i start to understand the plot. the ending also seems normal, nothing extraordinary. perhaps stieg is trying to introduce Lisbeth & Mickael to the audience?

For book 2, the story is definitely much more interesting and the plots thicken right at the beginning of the book! at first the story seems to be focusing on Mikael's colleague & his gf, but actually stieg is building the plot for Lisbeth! when the story goes on, more family background & history of Lisbeth start to reveal out. (spoilers: and Lisbeth truly love Mikael, that's why she been cursing & swearing at him all the time... i mean after book 1...)

For book 3, i feel is the best book among all. full of exciting roller coaster ride! Lisbeth is struggling to be alive with and without bullet in her head (spoilers: because her dad is trying to kill her when both of them landed up in hospital. but eventually her dad is killed by the spy group) Lisbeth has to stand trial to prove her innocence with the limited time & resources, if not she will be send back to madhouse with Dr Mad! but with her excellent hacking/research skill, and a good lawyer for women's right (guess who?), she wins the case! one regret is that there is more information reveal about Lisbeth's twin sister. personally i feel if stieg is alive, he will write book 4 and focus into Lisbeth's twin sister and their r/ship. in these books, stieg has reveal how different are the twins, how they treat each other, how their lifestyle different from each other. but i guess Lisbeth's sister will always be a mystery. (spoilers: Mikael found some gal he truly love & make effort to be faithful! Lisbeth gotten over Mikael, but still cant resist his charm! the love complication seems to be quite fantasy to me...LOL~)

Blueberry swirl cheesecake

2011-02-14T19:19:00.001+08:00

taken from http://www.easyliving.co.uk/recipes/puddings/blueberry-swirl-cheesecake

Ingredients
250g (8oz) digestive biscuits
100g (3½oz) unsalted butter, melted
200g (6½oz) fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed
3tbsp granulated sugar
500g (1lb) cream cheese
185g (6oz) caster sugar
2 whole eggs
2 eggs, separated
100ml (3½fl oz) sour cream
1tsp vanilla extract
1tsp finely grated lemon zest
2tsp lemon juice

1.Grease a 25cm (10in) springform cake tin and line the base with baking paper. Pulse the biscuits in a food processor until crushed. Add the butter and process until it just clumps together. Press the crumb mixture into the base of the tin and two-thirds of the way up the sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2.Purée the berries and sugar in a food processor or blender and then pass through a sieve. Simmer in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar for about 6 minutes or until thickened slightly. Set aside to cool.

3.Heat the oven to 170ºC (gas mark 3). Beat the cream cheese and caster sugar until it’s creamy and well combined. Add the whole eggs, egg yolks, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice. Beat for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.

4.Using a clean whisk and a clean bowl, beat the egg whites for 3-4 minutes, or until firm but soft peaks form. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture.

5.Spoon the mixture into the prepared cheesecake base and smooth the top. Drizzle with the blueberry purée and then make swirl patterns with the blade of a knife.

6.Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a pale golden colour and set in the centre. Switch off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 2 hours with the door ajar - this helps prevent it cracking. When cool, refrigerate for 6-12 hours before serving.

i need to work on the outlook!
second time baking seems to be more cui than the first...
bo bian, my hse out of baking paper =P

Dead Nation - Downtown HD Gameplay PS3 EXCLUSIVE

2011-01-17T11:02:00.002+08:00

it's been a long time since i play co-op with my SO.. if i remember correctly the last game is army of 2 II.. we didnt know resident evil 5 can be co-op, we switch stages to play.. sometimes he played i watched, sometimes i played he watched... actually he played majority because i so fed up with the controls! LOL... but i read move edition is much easier.. perhaps i should buy and try together with my SO?

anyway i was downloading kung fu live yesterday and saw this game. my first thought is ANOTHER ZOMBIE GAME?! HOW MANY SIMILAR GAMES THEY WANT TO COME OUT WITH! ALL COPY FROM RESIDENT EVIL OK! (i'm resident evil fan *smilez*) today i was reading newsletter from PS and they were introducing DEAD NATION. oh well, why i should be so judgmental? perhaps is something new. so i went to read abit about the game. ok, it another typical zombie game. LOL! u kill zombie to get more $$, then to upgrade your armours and weapons. You can co-op and play online with other players like L4D. But this is the special part! "The metagame allows players to follow their country's progress in relation to other countries, as well as local leaderboards. Using the PlayStation Network, players are grouped with other players from their country.[8] When a country is rid of zombies, a new infection cycle begins." (taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Nation) Basically we can compare which countries have killed the most zombie, but Singapore will never top the chart... LOL!

i will consider buying it after i completed my kung fu live and when my SO is around in SG more often.. which is most probably in March?? perhaps i will put up the comic strip up in my blog?? i still struggling with the thoughts because i wore PJ to play the game, and my hair is total mess... and my facial expression is all act-rocker type of expression... errmm errmmm i will consider...

spend 3 days and i have completed watching true blood season 3! i find that this season there is more sex, nudity and blood wor... but i think the series still differ from the book lei... perhaps i read the book until book 10 (i think) so book 3 is quite some time ago.. i cant really remember the content, but there are a few scenes confirm not in the book.

in summary, for season 3, the king of mississippi has "captured" bill coz he wants information regarding to sookie. queen of louisiana and eric are selling V which is illegal according to the "authority". a minister is sent to check and the queen makes eric as the scapegoat. eric runs to king for help. king wants eric to make queen marry him so he can take her land. done. king killed minister and so-called help eric. sookie arrived together with eric and king told sookie about the information bill is digging about her. sookie now suspects about bill's intention. after getting all the information from bill, king decides to kill him. Sookie save bill. eric found out king is the one who kill his entire family because he wants his father's crown (for fuck?!). and in turn kill the king's lover.

"authority" found out their minister is missing, and last location is at fangtasia. so they went and interview eric. they believe eric's story and ask him to kill the king without offering any backup. eric tag team with bill, and used sookie's blood as bait. king ganna con and was half baked. eric decide not to kill him because godfrey keep on "showing" up to ask eric to learn forgiveness. in the end eric did not kill king, but bury him under thick cement. bill sneak attack on eric but eric was saved by pam. eric went to tell sookie bill sneak attack him is not because he want to keep her as a secret. but he know that bill is instructed by the queen to find her what she is. sookie knows that bill has manipulated her to love him and broke up with him (at last, how many times they want to break up ar!?). THE END

oh ya, there are also some stories about sam which is not included in the book... i dont remember reading this at all... sam has found his birth parents and also his little brother. his parents is using his brother for dog fight to earn money. he "took" his brother from them, and ask them to live by themselves. his brother worked in his restaurant and later due to some misunderstanding, he steal from sam and left. sam track him down and shot him (but dont know really gt shot him la coz after the gunshot, no more scene liao).

jason went to hotshot and saw a pretty lady who is a were-cougar.. love her, want to be with her, but end up cannot... and i also think this scene is different from the book lei!

all in all, i supporter of eric! i find he is much gorgeous and sexy as compare to bill.... eric and sookie should be together! which most probably in next season??

there are more and more news about human killing each other directly/indirect due to technology (games, internet)... and i always find these IT technology is part & parcel of apocalypse.. in the past, maybe there is no technology only trees & mountains, so no choice, upper beings only can use natural stuffs like ice storms, volcano eruptions, earthquakes, etc... i mean dinosaurs are so huge & stupid, you really need to make things simple & drastic so that they can understand it is apocalypse...

human rathers take care of their virtual baby, human killing their parents because their games is disrupted, human commit suicide because cannot game, these definitely is human self destructing. just one simple technology, the human can incur different sins at the same time. at least this is much easier than create ice storms, green house effect, hole in ozone layer... furthermore sometimes things must be slightly draggy then there are plots to see. imagine bf ganna gaming compulsion, gf feels neglected, then more & more plots branch out from there...

i always find it funny that human know is wrong, yet still do it. and just pray to seek for forgiveness. they find God after misfortune, although this seems to me even more ridiculous than finding Him in good times. 'God smote me. He must love me.' (copy from The Gargoyle, Andrew Davidson) anyway i always find human is amusing being... keke.... i can read and read and try to understand how they infuse emotion into their decision / action, it is just so entertaining. how they thinks their action will anger me, whereby i feel entertained by them. although i have wrath in me, also need to right person to activate for me. and my wrath is hibernating most of the times because i scare of aging....LOL! activating sloth and gluttony in me are much easier! yesterday i ate dinner at 6pm, ate some snacks at 8pm and then a big pot of smoked salmon with salted egg salad at 9pm! where all the food goes to?? did i shit this morning?? *think really REALLY hard*

"daddy" must have alot of different planning.... but IT technology especially the combination of internet & gaming, is the most genius of all. real time, human cannot react in time, BOOM! being the "daughter", i quite immune to several types of plans... online gaming not interested. once i got addicted to mafia wars and suddenly my "daddy" sent me a warning "Indulgence NOT Compulsion". next minute i quit mafia war totally. i'm serious, no cold turkey, or play shorter period, etc. just quit playing totally. as for other types of gaming, i always indulge in them.. love the games especially bloody violent gore ones.. they are so adorable! beside gaming, i also indulge in alot of "sinful" stuffs... earth is for human to enjoy while they still alive! at least tat wat "daddy" always say... if i down below, i think i have to keep on collecting souls and build bad karma! *emo emo*

errrm... think of it, actually i post similar stuff before... i think i will not lend my daddy's book to anyone anymore.. tat time i lend to my friend, he say i totally follow the book... honestly i havent read it *sorry daddy* so if what the book writes, is what i am, then the book is correct. i dont want people to mistaken me as some cult members and start asking me for love potions or love ritual!

oh well, next week is a brand new year. and one step closer to the apocalypse... better do whatever i want to do asap! diving cert, GO GO GO!

P.S: the above post is for entertainment purpose only. might not be the truth at all *smilez*

Diving Maldives (Shark, Turtle, Whaleshark)

2010-12-29T10:58:00.002+08:00

planning to go maldives around May / June after i got my open water cert so research abit on the diving sites. my friend is interested to see the sharks la.. i research the species of sharks mainly is whale shark & leopard shark. they are still acceptable for me because they dont attack human beings and generally quite gentle in nature. but hor, gt this hammerhead shark la.. although by default they dont attack human beings, they do have attack human beings gene in them la.. this abit worry... then i was searching for more info in youtude, and i saw there is sand shark in maldives which is not mention in the previous website i browsing.. i dont know much about sand shark but they do look like white shark wor
*emo emo*

i hope the shark feeding in maldives is not feeding such a big shark la...
tiny little cute sharks i dont mind...

i'm so exhausted!! must be the long xmas celebration and my new ps3 move.. although friday & saturday i'm totally packed like santa claus but i already set one day - sunday to rest at home le.. why i still so tired?? my eyes even grew more puffy! *emo emo* i need to rest more before new year eve! another long day of celebration.. if i'm not wrong, the plan is l4d2 marathon then follow by countdown la. but i not really keen in countdown because there will be a huge crowd, and if gt any weird people touching me, i will punch them like nobody la.. so to avoid going to police station to take down statement especially my SO not in sg. i prefer to lock myself in my house for everyone safety. so if my friends really want to countdown, either they go without me (i totally cool about it) or they come my house to countdown... maybe overnight mahjong?

i still wondering when can i sell off my wii? my SO is coming back to singapore next week!! time is super tight and i dont think i'm able to sell off before he come back wor.. *emo emo* i must think of a strategy to inform him my intention... during xmas gt people want to buy my wii & drumset bundle! but i was too busy to check my email!!! *big emo* haiz..really not fated lo... should i lower down the price?? or go tackle Mr T's friend?

suddenly i feel that i have alot of deadline (of course these deadline is i set for myself)... i need to learn diving by jan! i dont want to push it any further so need to co-ordinate my friends and call the school again. those that want to learn diving, can also contact me! if the group is big enough, we can have our own private lesson!

and i need to find a job before march! my company sending me to shanghai for 1 week seminar and i dont want to go because i dont intend to stay in this company anymore! i dont mind travelling for holiday, but travelling for work is another story. day time need to attend seminar, night time need to catch up on my work, and the office is so rely on me. without me, office still can operate ok! dont everytime keep using me as an excuse *roll eyes*

must be more hardworking to send out resume!!!!

i remember the last time i went they are still building waterfront, there isnt that much building and shopping centres in batam... this time i went it grow into a more city like town..

for more photos you have to go to HFH blog...he is the photographer...

for me, i just take photo when i feel like it... keke...

below are the two photo i test shot using the fair & dark function...

the first photo is took using the fair function...

it suppose to lighten the skin tone, so that the people will be fairer

this is the second photo with darken function...

my friend looks like she has a tan just now...LOL!
but she prefers to be tan rather than fair....

some photo i took while i waiting for my dinner to arrive...
is suppose to be romantic seaside dinner, but hor is low tide so no water!!

appetizer is otah... but we scare very spicy and god know how old is the otah so we didnt eat it at all here comes our food! *yeah*sweet sweet flower crab! delicious butter crab!!!non- spicy kakong cereal prawn... super nice!!! when we eating halfway, suddenly gt this man roll his boat along the small stream...then he starts singing wor... after awhile, it started to rain!i was complaining to my friend, he must be praying for rain la....then my friend took out her iphone and told me "ok, i go contact the person"i stunt and say "iphone gt so advance? u can even contact the man singing on the boat?!"my friend burst out laughing and say "i contacting our driver so can pick us up la"

2010-12-15T16:09:00.001+08:00

christmas is coming!!! yeah! i been changing the xmas song in my blog almost every week... different week i have different xmas song humming in my head.. sms Mr T today coz he's MIA ever since i came back to Batam... ok la, is only 3days...haha... but xmas is coming and until now still no dates from him! emo! so today i went to sms him is he celebrating xmas with me. he said two of his colleagues made babies this month, and he has to cover for both of them, so no time to celebrate with me even he wants to! EMO BIG! haiz, i brought present for him at Batam. Reebok pole tee only cost SGD15 nia! so i bought one for Mr T.. and if he not meeting me for xmas, how to pass him his xmas present too? I still bought my favourite ferragamo pour homme for him...EMO! haiz.... see how he works thing out ba....i wonder he bought any xmas present for me coz we didnt really discuss about it. his xmas present also is a surprize for him. however i would rather him to bring me out for a meal rather than spend the money on present....go to a nice nice restaurant and feast my heart out, rather than stuck with a present that i dun like... LOL!

Comes to think of it, i dont have a xmas wish list... but i have a list of items i dont wish to receive... i dont wish to receive any electronics products because my birthday i wish for mixer.. in the end, i got two mixers! i dont want any more perfumes and cosmetics.. because i quite particular in choosing those i really like. i dont want books and games, because i do not want to end up having two or more same books or games. in the end, i have to spend time re-selling it! i dont want any wines or any types of alcohol because my house already overstock! i still clearing red wines in my fridge. oh ya, after listening to the news that 75% of singaporean will give recycle gifts to their family & friends, i quite worried la. i dont want any recycle gifts and tell me is the thoughts that matter, not the gift! i ji tao smack the person upside down if anyone dares to tell me this! you must spend time and effort on choosing & buying the gift then got thoughts wat! you just dig out a rubbish in your storeroom and give to someone, what kind of thoughts is that?!!?! you think i'm some charity or salvation army mei?!

Christmas wish for this week.... hopefully witcher 2 can launch earlier! I want to buy the collectors' edition, but is USD130!! so expensive... Maybe ask my SO to buy when he is in USA next year, then i can save money! LOL!... but i scare he buys the normal edition wor... haiz...

REVIEW: Skinfood Gold Caviar Toner / Emulsion

2010-12-14T16:25:00.002+08:00

Gold Caviar Toner : A gratifying toner formulated with visible pure gold, softens the skin, and with Russian caviar, counters wrinkles and fortifies, nourishes, and firms up the skin.

Gold Caviar Emulsion : Anti-aging and softening emulsion made with Russian caviar and pure gold helps moisturize and revitalize the skin.

I got one small bottle of toner and emulsion from Skinfood when i was touring in Korea. Didnt really get to use it until recently i went to Batam. i do not want to bring my usual skincare product because is all in full big bottle, so i brought this samples there. I used for three days and i find that my skin is smoother and more bouncy. Usually when trying new product, my face will rebel and few pimples pop out. When i try this product, there is no pimples popping out. So when i came back to Singapore, i continue to use and put my usual skincare on hold.

The toner is not usual liquid toner. It is like abit oily semi liquid. At first i thought it will be too rich for my skin, but after applying to my skin, the toner is absorb into my skin quite easily. After patting a few times, the toner seems to be disappear from my skin. After that, i apply the emulsion on my face. However i only use this set in the night time because i feel i still need SPF moisturer in the daytime which is my main focus. And night time i need to focus more on anti-aging / whitening / moisturing. Furthermore my air con is above my bed, so the dry air will blow blow blow on my skin. I need rich rich rich night moisturer to protect my skin!

I went to read up in Skinfood website and found that it is for anti-aging. I do not have wrinkles yet, but i think i need to start on anti-aging products soon. My skin is getting drier which means sooner wrinkles will follow up. EMO! Oh ya, there is gold flakes inside the toner, but i dont know is real gold or not la. And when i check the price in Skinfood website, i realize the products cost SGD75 each! I find the price is quite high la. Coz i using avene toner & moisturer, i think it only costs less than SGD50 each? If i really want to switch to skinfood, i think i will ask my SO to buy for me in Korea.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (minus 0.5 for the price. the products thumb up thumb up thumb up!)

REVIEW: Rene Furterer RF 80

2010-12-13T15:43:00.000+08:00

Sudden thinning hair most commonly affects women and can be triggered by various factors such as pregnancy, stress, an unbalanced diet or medication. RF 80 has a double patented and scientifically proven formula that combats the two major factors of sudden thinning hair: Vascular and Nutritional. It works against these 2 causes to naturally encourage the growth of stronger hair and improve hair structure for thicker and faster growing hair.

Active ingredients & benefits
Natural Pfaffia® extract (Brazilian Ginseng): Stimulates and increases the growth of the blood capillaries around the root bulb
Biotin: Promotes stronger hair
Essential oils of Sage and Lemon: Increase blood circulation
Vitamins: A, F, B5, H and PP: Stimulate cell renewal, anti-oxidant
Methionine: Promotes keratin formation

I have been using this serum together with tonucia shampoo for more than 6months. My hair has strengthen alot. My hair doesnt break that easily. Before using this product, my hair breaks quite easy because my hair is VERY long so the hair ends tend to be quite brittle. I'm not really sure whether there is improved hair growth because i always have baby hairs now & then (thanks god). But the serum really strengthen my hair, reduce breakage, my baby hairs grow faster than loss of old hair, so technically my hair volume will be improved or at least maintain.

Thumbs up for the result except one thing. Although the website say the scent is sage and lemon, it is totally chicken shit. Because it smells exactly like chicken shit. Anyway i only apply once per week and is during night time, i dont really mind my scalp smells like chicken shit.

The price is two packets for SGD89. There are 5 bottles in each packet if i remember correctly. Use once bottle per week. I'm not sure whether the price is reasonable, but as long as the product works, i dont mind the price.

By the way i have stop using tonucia shampoo for a month because my scalp gets "allergy" to it. Sometimes i use it, my scalp will be abit itchy, maybe due to product buildup? Though previously i use the shampoo for more than 6months, my scalp is ok with it. Even without tonucia shampoo, RF80 serum still works well when i'm use it once a week. Highly recommend hair serum if you have long brittle hair.

Review PS3: Resonance of Fate

2010-12-07T14:44:00.004+08:00

Summary

The world is filled with poisonous gas and human cannot live on it anymore, so human create a Zeith system in a place called Basel. With Zeith system, every human is allocated a special quartz. if the quartz breaks, the person will die.

One of the heroes - Vashyron (ex-knight of Zeith) has adopted Zephyr after he failed to kill him. Actually he shot Zephyr in his head. But Zephyr is an experiment by Sullivan. He has transfer some gene from Rebecca's (whom is a "human" that able to live outside world & was free from Zeith system) and thus make Zephyr immortal. One year later, Leanne tried to kill herself and was saved by Zephyr. Hence we got our three heroes.

Another important enemy is Cardinal Rowen. He got the "power" to control Zeith system from Sullivan and was quite skeptical about the power he has. He wonder is he truly god or there is a real god above. So he come out a few patterns here and there. End up our heroes have to kill him la and at the end, he is dead la.

Review

Personally i find the battle is quite rigid and boring. basically you have 3 types of weapon - machine gun (scratch damage), hand gun (real damage) and genade (scratch and/or real damage). scratch damage is have lots of hits (because there is alot of bullets) but enemies can regain the "health". so after scratch damage you must quickly use hand gun to shot the enemy so you can turn the scratch damage to real damage. why you just dont use hand gun only? because hand gun hit is damn lousy! And for machine gun you can equip with magazine to have different bullets with different elements. This will aids your battle. Another important feature is the bezel. this is needed so you can do your special move aka hero move. Very important in boss fight!

Anyway in order to win the battle, i find that you just have to time your heros properly and make sure the position he/she ends up (specially after hero move) is the "right" place. If not once the hero deplete his scratch health, you will lose bezel. If you lose all your bezel, you will have hard time gathering it and your hits will all turn lousy. So in conclusion, if you lose all your bezel, it is game over!

However, the story plot is quite interesting. Graphics is quite solid too! the cutscenes dont really lose to FF series, although is not as lengthy as FF series. If you dont mind the lack of weapons & super duper rigid, boring battle play, this is a very good game to play.

As for the rating, i will give 3.5 out of 5. i love to have alot different types of weapons. Lack of weapons really is a killer. But i do enjoy customize my guns though i dun think in real life it is possible to customize until like that. (post up my customize guns later) Not much special effects on the battles which also another killer. I'm a FF fan, i like to see alot of different special effects in battle! LOL! 3.5 is all about the story plot, the handsome Vashyron and super duper cute Zephyr...Oh ya, i also like Rebecca coz she is so cute! Like the bigger, evil version of tinkerbell and she drinks blood...

meetup with ninja warrior yesterday...and we chat about one very interested topic.. which is his gf! LOL...

i guess is nice to be with someone you love much more than you love her. ninja warrior's gf really loves him alot, and he can feel that too. but somehow he feels that the gal is not what he wants and marry. just because his gf is too sensitive and paranoid. somehow i gt feeling that he will marry her eventually! LOL.. his gf doesnt like me, so i joke that during his wedding dinner i need to fake "hey XXX, so long never see you liao.. i think got few years already right.. wa.. you still look the same!" lol... i even joke after marriage, we confirm cannot sneaky sneaky meetup liao.. if i want to see him, need to go all the way to his workplace and meet him for lunch! ninja warrior can confidentally tell me after marriage his gf should approve me and let us meet up. because now havent married, so insecure. after married she should feel very secure. SERIOUSLY I DOUBT SO! if a gal is insecure with the guy, 99.999% she will feel insecure for rest of her life! haha...

ninja warrior was telling me now he is more in "power" between both of them. last time he will afraid that his gf angry or sad... if she cries, he will pamper her, pacify her like little baby. now she cries, he will just walk away. after awhile, he will give her one more chance and call her to see she wants to talk properly (without all the drama & crying). if the gf is ok, he will walk back and "talk properly"! LOL... somehow i kinda pity his gf la.. last time he treats her like some princess, now ji tao is servant liao! he told me that his gf cherish the r/ship and afraid that he will break up with her. so no matter what, as long as she able to compromise, she will. i pat ninja warrior's shoulder and say "nw you got chance to atas & hang yourself high high, u better do so. after marriage, is the other way round" ninja warrior suddenly worried and ask me why. then i explain "you see ar, now havent married. if both of u breakup, u not at the losing end ma. but after married, not breakup liao. is divorce! seekali you have to give 50% of your asset and pay alimony to her for rest of your life! which means even divorce you have to yang her for rest of her life!" suddenly ninja warrior panic and ask me whether gt any marriage insurance or wat... then i told him got, women's charter but is protect women! WHAHAHAHAHA.. so after marriage, he should be the one prays that his wife dun divorce him!

before we set off to our own home, ninja warrior say "ok, i will join your old folk home membership. remember to reserve a place for me!" lol....

my cute ninja warrior...

good food and good looking guy, which will you look at focus more at the same time?

i will opt for good looking guy! but after a real life test last saturday, ok it is good food! i recall quite hard i can only remember the guy is decent manly looking, dark tone skin and quite gentleman. seriously i only remember most is he took strawberry tart for me! and i keep looking at strawberry tart while thanking him! LOL... firstly i went to the church wedding, i not sure whether am i over-dress. but i just wore a tube flowery dress with black stocking & boots. pin a purple ribbon on my hair to look more angelic and girl next door. and i get stares or looks or whatever... i dont really like to mingle and 100% confirm that i dont know the groups so i keep on aiming food la! when one of my sec school friend took some dessert for us, he didnt take strawberry tart! emo! so i kinda exclaim "where my strawberry tart?!" then my godbro's friend (whom i didnt catch his name too.. LOL) went to dessert section and took more dessert including my strawberry tart!!! so immediately he sets his plate down, actually havent la, he just going to put down the plate, i exclaim "strawberry tart!" and put it into my mouth! LOL... then my sec sch friend say "people never say take for u lei".. then i only can give him my puppy eyes and say "thank you for your strawberry tart" hahaha.. i do remember he give me a shy shy smile and say is ok... bo bian, strawberry tart lei!

then after my wedding, my godbro and i went for our lunch date... he asked me what i think of his friend.. frankly i only remember taking his tart so i told him "he ok ar..decent looking and tan lo".. then my godbro asks me whether he handsome or not, and how fit he is.. i cant really answer coz i never really look at him, and he is wearing normal office shirt and pant. how to see his body fit or not?!?! first time meet people also cannot anyhow touch right... oh ya, i do remember he has side burns.... if i remember correctly tat is! lol... but overall he is a very nice guy la.. dun mind me stealing his strawberry tart! keke....

at the wedding, i also met up a long long time sec school friend whom i totally dont know his name except recognise he is the same school as me.. but he remembers me and my name!!! that's a total surprize... and second question is why he remembers me?! wat infamous thing i done again!! dun really dare to ask him la.. in case my ugly past comes out again... LOL... haiz... really is easyA movie during my schooling days...

another thing is that i find my godbro always try to hush me away from other people.. like i'm some sort of pandora's box.. in FB, my identity also need to remain hush hush... cannot publish any photo with me and him.. at the wedding, the long time sec friend want to tong ban him and me to nearby mrt, he also doesnt want... i also dont understand.. another sec friend also ton banging to nearby mrt ma, so is not like we are troubling anyone =P in the end i have to walk 15mins under the super hot sun!

Xmas dinner in Sg?!

2010-11-24T11:58:00.001+08:00

i miss having xmas dinner.... ever since my SO starts on his tour guide career, we stop celebrating any festivals because he is always not around... my friends are not christian (think again), i dont really have much christian/ catholic friends.. LOL! not that i bias against any religion (my SO is a catholic BTW), just happen that most of my friends are free thinkers..

normally my friends and i will bbq or steamboat at my place. but bbq & steamboat is not really xmas dinner. so i suggest pot luck! i thought finally i will have my xmas dinner, but guess what on the menu?

1) Curry chicken

2) Mee fen

3) Pasta

4) Lotus rice

i ponder for awhile and wonder why my xmas dinner sound like funeral dinner? Or this is the Singapore way of traditional xmas dinner... i was hoping roast beef/turkey/ham, pie, casserole, dessert.. like normal normal traditional xmas dinner wor...as for my dish, i dont know whether i should prepare main course or dessert... i thinking of preparing main course (either roast beef or beef wellington) but there are 3 full fledged CARBO dishes liao! if dessert, either i would go for beef pie, yorkshire pudding or blueberry (or cranberry since is xmas) cheesecake...

oh well, at least i'm nearer to my goal.... done up the photoshoot for my sis' blogshop, check on the photos, upload all the photos into FB, upload some of the photos into the blogshop, done the alignment nice nice in the blogshop, and left with the measurement and pricing! my sis only responsible on the creation of the blog, and bring the clothes from my parents' hse to mine for the photoshoot... And i still wondering why am i doing so much work! EMO! good news is one of my cousin wants to join in and i can delegate my work to her.. WAHAHAHHAHA! ok, go home i will add my cousin into the FB list so that she can view all the photos. once i done up all my work, i will nag my sis to do her part. but think of all the measurement i need to take! EMO again! sighz.......

somehow i feel my weekend is burnt out again... sat afternoon playing paintball with my cousins and i left with one sunday to work on the blogshop! where is my rest day? weekend suppose to let me laze around at home.. roll on my bed and all the way to my sofa...

the wii shop just called and told me cannot soft mod my wii set because the crack of the latest version is not out yet! thanks to my SO, now i can only play two games! guitar hero - aerosmith & warrior of rocks! gt time go and research how to download more songs into the wii.. since now can only play original, faster utilize the service...

And i'm at the last two episodes for mischievous kiss!! i would say that taiwan version is nicer than the korean... korean one seems to be pretty boring. however kim hyun joong is so charming! no matter how boring is the drama, i would be contented just by looking at his face! he is so my type! lean, fair and charming! oh ya, his mother in the show also do an excellent job! as compared to the taiwan mother, i prefer korean mother and that is the second winning point....

why am i bad tempered yet i seldom angry... when people ask me this, i really dont see the link... i bad tempered because i'm impatient... i seldom angry because errmmm, why should i? angry will cause you to age so why will i kill my look? come to think of that, the last time i angry should be 2 months back? angry at nemo for something he has say and done. but i just need one night to get over it. i slept and when i wake up, the anger is gone. if every now and then, a human being get angry over small little mole hill stuffs, she/he become bald, wrinkle faced, and died early i also wont be surprise... how many cells she/he wants to kill on daily basis?

recently people asks me how i control my anger when i such a bad tempered person. firstly there is no link with bad tempered & anger. secondly i dont scare of death but scare of aging. thirdly i always accept who people are. so watever traits they have/show, i will just accept it. fourth, if i piss at someone, i just curse him/her. it get rids of my anger instantly. people like that idiot BM cant get a good life, i totally can understand. imagine ganna curse by a witch every single day.HA! fifth i'm a magnanimous person & lastly, this is quite obvious i'm not an emotional petty little creature.

for people that angry with me because i dont get angry/emotional with her (even she is angry with me). i will simply ignore her, and i will continue to do it until she "grow up". if one day i steal your bf, kill your parents or watsoever major stuffs, you totally have the right to be angry. anything minor, find other emotional petty little creature to understand your situation. for me, i totally accept who you are, as an emotional petty little creature. i totally accept that you need to be emo in your own tiny world. i totally accept that you need to show ALOT of people how injustice you are. i totally accept you can say alot of "da dao li". BUT you have to accept i will ignore you until you get over it.

please do not misunderstand that my action show that i dont cherish my friends. i do cherish them and hence i accept them as who they are. compromise their actions ever when it seems weird to me. tat why i never am the one angry with another party. i am always the one being angry at. my equation is always very simple. input = output.

health tips learn from my korea tour guide

2010-10-19T09:50:00.004+08:00

Seaweed & kelp is good for ladies because it can treat & prevent thyroid problems. Reason? iodine!
Pomegranate is also good for ladies because of the anti-oxident! No wonder i look younger than my sis because it is my favourite fruit since young
Top killer for liver is not smoking, not taking in too much chemical, not alcohol, but is not sleeping at night! The liver start detoxing between 11pm to 2am. If we do not sleep, the liver does not detox. And all the poison is stuck in the liver. If you never sleep between 11pm to 2am for a long time, god bless you. Remember you only have 1 organ to detox your body, and you only have 1 liver.
Cabbage is good for people with weak stomach because it can line the walls of your tummy which protects them
All eggs do not have any cholesterol after cooking / boiling them 100% cooked. But it will still fills with protein! So old people must take in more eggs to replenish the protein needed in their body! No frying though!
People with weak stomach should avoid drinking milk first thing in the morning and last thing late in the night.
People with constipation should drink fresh zucchini or cucumber juice before sleeping. Make sure you buy the veg and juice it using blender. Next morning your output will be as smooth as one straight dragon
Broccoli is the miracle vegetables! It fills with vit C & folic acid. It can also aids in preventing Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, calcium deficiencies, several types of cancers, osteoporosis & arthritis.
Miso paste and garlic should be eaten together with bbq meat. it will helps to dissolve the oil, so that the ladies wont get fat eating too much meat
Prevent eating bread or starch food in the morning because it takes 3hrs before the starch can turn into glucose. Your brain needs glucose to start functioning in the morning, so it is best to drink honey water. To improve immune system, try boiling 2-3 gloves of garlic in the water for 20mins. Throw away the garlic, and add some honey in the water. Drink garlic honey daily basis and you can see the difference.

The above tips are from my korea tour guide whom is an ex doctor. But due to the tight competition for tour agency in korea, he going to switch back to doctor again....

Secret of Happy Married Life

2010-10-07T10:55:00.002+08:00

Once upon a time a married couple celebrated their 25th marriage anniversary. They had become famous in the city for not having a single conflict in their period of 25 years. Local newspaper editors had gathered at the occasion to find out the secret of their well known "happy going marriage".

Editor: "Sir. It's amazingly unbelievable. How did you make this possible?"

Husband recalling his old honeymoon days said: "We had been to Shimla for honeymoon after marriage. Having selected the horse riding finally! , we both started the ride on different horses. My horse was pretty okay but the horse on which my wife was riding seemed to be a crazy one. On the way ahead, that horse jumped suddenly, making my wife topple over. Recovering her position from the ground, she patted the horse's back and said "This is your first time". She again climbed the horse and continued with the ride. After a while, it happened again. This time she again kept calm and said "This is your second time" and continued. When the horse dropped her third time, she silently took out the revolver from the purse and shot the horse dead !! I shouted at my wife: "What did you do you psycho. You killed the poor animal. Are you crazy?" . She gave a silent look and said: "This is your first time!!!."

Husband: "That's it. We are happily married ever after. "

P.S: Thanks to Ms Chow Kaili for contributing this great story

if i quit my job and stay at home, i definitely have alot of free time. free time i can use for hardcore gaming which i'm stop doing for 2 weeks! i can catch up with my reading. and of course i will do my PT job too! seriously i dont understand why someone can tell me she is busy when she is not working. when i push for more, in the end ganna question what actions i do. beside having a FT job, i have to keep the accounts & order the goods. After i order the goods, the process just KIV liao. not moving at all, which means my funds is stuck! funds stuck never mind, at least remember to pay me la. haiz.. sometimes i dont think i'm impatient, i just want to get things moving. if whatever reasons, at least pass me the samples, i can ask my friend to help out. sitting on watever process doesnt help at all! sourcing for more suppliers when you are sitting on the goods is plain dumb.

the secret of my fair fair skin

things i dont understand why people cannot understand

2010-09-21T13:56:00.002+08:00

why people cares about what other people thinks of them?

nemo always amazed how i'm able to live in my own world yet able to mingle in other people world. why i'm able to do whatever i want regardless how other people see it. why i only have eyes on myself and disregard how other eyes look at me. why i deem something serious as joke when others think is something serious; and when other people deem it as joke, i treat it something serious. why i can never understand but accept other people difference. why other people can never understand me and i ok with it. why i can never be upset when people judge me using their own standard. why i never judge people regardless what wrong they did. why i never care about people's past. why i seldom ask why. why i never demand or expect changes from my friends/family/SO. why i can just accept when things dont go according to my plan. why i can simplified all types of complicated situation i have. why i can just look at things as it is. why i dont make any sense most of the times, but make sense when he need me to. why i can make him laugh when no one could. why i am so happy go lucky, when i shouldnt be. why i can grab more happiness but i just cant be bother. why i am alone, but i never feel lonely; And even i feel lonely, it's a luxury not a fear.

if you treat everyday as the last day you live on earth. you will be just like me. and of course if you are a person that truly knows what you really really want, it helps alot too...

just between you and me, i only have 3 deadly sins - wrath, sloth & glutton. that why i'm into violence and fking lazy and eats like i have 9 stomach. i dont have lust, greed, envy or pride. see, i got weakness one....BUT how can you use my weakness against me? as i have told HFH before, you can cheat a devil, but how often can you win?

2010-09-20T12:36:00.007+08:00

at last i going to my BKK holiday trip le!! which is end of the week... but is only 3days nia.. emo emo.. my SO asks me to extend another day or two lei... haiz... but BKK is so unstable now, if i relax alone also not sure safe or not...

last weekend went to st james to listen to ding dang concert.. perhaps i not a fan of her, and never heard any songs from her before.. i was really bored to tears.. and when another more ulu ulu group went up as special performance, i ji tao sleep on the bar counter! at least i gt a free drink.. haiz...

after the concert, i went to mac donald work abit for my sis' blog.. and waiting for nemo to arrive too.. he always so busy and i always need to camp somewhere to wait for him.. if i have a ranking, he will be top on the list for people i wait the most! bo bian, people big boss, i small french fries! anyway i also inform Mr T that i meeting nemo, and i sense that he is abit slightly upset. somehow out of nowhere while chatting with Mr T on the phone, he mentions he is not jealous or what and put down the phone or else nemo aims him. i understand that he finds that it is dangerous for me to be with nemo, but i dun understand why he mentions he not jealous. because all along i dont think he will be jealous ma.. but i do understand the reason that he will feel worry for me la! sometimes i also feel i worried for myself! whahahaa... plus my brain shut down at 12mn sharp.. so basically my IQ drops alot, and my reflex also drops alot... then he always enjoy asking questions that needs me to think.. no wonder i always have migraine after meeting him...

nemo asks me whether how i define rich.. as long as richer than me is rich lo.. he asks me when a very rich lesbian chase after me, will i accept her? no offense to lesbian, but i really 100% no feeling towards gal..plus i always find gals quite taxing for me, how to have a r/ship with another one? he asks me whether i will change my mindset in marriage, i definitely say no.. he asks me whether i will consider mr T, i also say no & must include explanation to him! he really have boss attitude lei! then he told me i'm the only gf whom he never cheated.. but somehow i dont know what he expect me to say.. so i just say "should i feel very honour?" hahaa..because a guy or a gal shouldnt cheat on their partner at the first place what! then he tells me more about his past.. although on the surface is not related to me, somehow i feel a tinge of guilt and he is injecting it into me... haiz.. wat past is past.. i also cannot do anything to reverse it.. if i knew, and if he knew, and if we try to understand each other more, and be more open in our feelings, perhaps we also wont end up like that... anyway i already try to be a very nice friend to him... but as what Mr T said, too nice actually... nemo always wish me to be happy, and hope that he can bring me happiness. he said i deserve to be happy and be take care of. ya i know, he isnt the only one who said that. perhaps is my personality, i dont feel happy or sad of my situation right now. i cant change anything so just live with it! anyway i always emotionless.. LOL! when he always talk about my happiness, somehow i got the feeling that he wish me to give him the happiness he wants. but i cannot. the max i can give is up to what a very close friend can give. no matter how unconventional my r/ship is, i'm always a very clear headed person plus extremely inflexible (aka stubborn). if i draw the picture out, there is no way i going to amend it. it's easy for him to bring out the past feelings i have towards him, the empathy towards him, the regrets towards him, but emotion is always detach from my decision. my brain function in a very unique way, different from other gals. What i feel doesnt equal to what i do. (OT, no wonder my boss likes my working style) most importantly Mr T puts the trust in me, and i put the trust in myself, and i have to live up our "trust"! and of course i also wish nemo able to find the happiness he seek which is somewhere out there...

why cant we just like each other, purely liking each other but just stay as friends? why is it never enough?

2010-09-14T15:34:00.002+08:00

i know lady gaga won the most creative & daring dress,
but i absolutely love katy perry's dress!!!

is so cute! so funky! so victorian posh!

maybe i should come out similar dress like hers!!!

2010-09-14T11:37:00.003+08:00

when i woke up this morning, i really feel that i just close my eyes a minute ago. i guess i really exhausted! most of the times i will woke up in the night to pee, or just wake up blink blink my eyes a few times then go back to sleep. during 7th month, i keep having nightmare (i wonder why).. but today is the first time, after so long, i really sleep thru out the night without waking up. but i still feel so tired! and is monday just pass nia! now i having depression!

my sales engineer told me maybe we are getting our bonus in october because my company financial year ends at september.. i was thinking should i tender in november then? LOL... but end of year quite hard to find job lei... and my NZ trip only happens in FEB! errmm...ermmm.. how lei? i still need my salaries in Nov and Dec lei.... or i psycho Mr T to go NZ in dec, then i quit in nov!! WAHHAHAHAHAHA....

thanks to nemo, i getting paranoid after his stunt... whenever my closer friends (except ninja warrior) ask anything that is deem weird to me, i keep thinking whether is it hinting me or the questions are indirect to me... haiz, i'm going crazy le... so tired with all the mind transactions going on.. why cant people be simpler and more selfless... sometimes liking a thing doesnt mean you have to own the thing.. liking someone doesnt mean you have to own that person.. just be happy happy together as friends.. see! this is the true happily ever after fairytale story!

somemore my little sis is now working on her blogshop... now have to assist her fully.. lucky she is also a lazy bum, then i also can take my own sweet time to work on it.. and of course i have delegate the graphic design part to my dear friend - HFH! i think the first batch of clothes will be ready by this week... hard work starting next week i guess... i see see my weekend like no time to rest *sobz* friday maybe meeting friends for birthday celebration... saturday afternoon massage, evening time going to st james - ding dang concert (i dont even know who is she?!?!) i only know xiao ding dang! then after meet up with nemo.. so i will reach home at 4am in the morning?! then i sleep the whole sunday morning and game full speed in the afternoon.. and there goes my weekend! it's seem like my weekend havent start, but it has end already!

my sleep... my youth... is getting further and further away from me... super sighz! and my eye bags is getting bigger... and my dark circles is getting darker!!!

2010-09-09T14:13:00.002+08:00

at last my long weekend is finally approaching! friday game day, try to complete as much chapters as possible for resonance of fate.. saturday bbq day plus crabs! sunday go lunch dating with Mr T.. oh ya, i havent burn music for him... he needs more solid music in his car! imagine driving late at night, listening to jazz or glee music! LOL... i so worried that he will fall asleep while driving! LOL.. but then most probably the music i like he wont like it... anyway at least i can listen to the songs i like when he ton bang me home.. wahaha.. i really the evil stepsister and he is the cinderella!

yesterday sent a sms to check on nemo.. hopefully he is doing well... i sent my sms to him around noon, and he replied at 9plus pm! very typical of him... everything is normal normal.. i ask him how is his business.. he ask me how about my work.. i ask him to rest more and take care of himself.. and he wish me luck in my work and ask me sleep early... sound very normal friend conversation right? ok la, so we are cool with it now.. and he is doing fine... i'm so worried that i topple his peaceful days.. ok, i mean peaceful day in terms of his personal emotional... most of the days his business is very brisk and he is working more than 12hrs per day! if i were him, i already died of exhaustion! anyway it is his business, so perhaps he has the drive ba... to make sure everything goes what i have plan, i really trying my best to "switch off" my charm, as per requested by nemo... but hor, my charm is never "switch on" at the first place.. long time ago, my generator already closed down and no electricity is able to be generated out! maybe i should start to be more boring? but if i keep my mouth shut, and pretend to be a boring person, nemo confirm will ask me "what are you thinking".. and i will reply "nothing in particular".. and he will definitely say "how can you be thinking of nothing".. then i will say "really thinking of nothing what".. and we will quarrel again... haiz.. is so hard to be human!

while buying my lunch, i suddenly remember my friends saying that i am every man's dream gal... i was pondering real hard, if i am REALLY every man's dream gal, then why i ganna "rejected" by two guys within short period of time? and the reason is somehow same as the reason they state why i am every man's dream gal... and the reason is i do not want to get marry and give birth... LOL... seriously i dont know why gals (at least my two friends) think that guys looking for uncommitted r/ship and prefers gals that dont want any commitments as well.. somehow i think their thinking is abit wrong lei.. at least the two guys that "rejected" me because i do not want to get marry & give birth! basically i feel guys definitely want a committed r/ship. a gal that can be his wife and help him complete his journey. BUT they also want a uncommitted r/ship aka mistress or fling, so that whenever the wife/gf hurt their ego, they have another person to soothe their ego...

anyway this month is definitely hell month for me.. and i definitely feel fear when i heard the below sentences: -

1) there is something that you need to know about me

2) i have something serious to tell you

3) marry and give birth

P.S: I NEED TO STOP BEING NICE, STOP BEING SOFT, STOP BEING SYMPATHETIC! I'M LOSING MY EVIL AURA!!

2010-09-08T14:56:00.000+08:00

i never understand... and when i asked why, the answer given to me is always illogical to me.. and when the question is post to me, the answer i give to people is not satisfactory (and that's why they roll eyes?) i always try to understand but then.... all i can say is "okkkkkkkkkk" and start hiding all the question marks above my head. i can accept the illogical answers, but if you want me to understand them, it is another wavelength and i think i cannot reach that wavelength.

nice? too nice? am i? *ponder real hard*

simple? i guess i am... i always simplified things to the most simple form...

if you are stress, what will you do?

for me, i do nothing and let the time pass by....

just like the hangman in tarot card... hanging in suspend, waiting for the time to pass, with no sign of discomfort...

sometimes you just need to see the world upside down, let the time pass as it is, and the vision will be crystal clear to you

was talking about a guy in my life, and suddenly i feel empathy towards him again.. he used to be a great guy.. but due to some mistake, he ends up a nice guy now... for those who knows me, being rank nice is not really high mark.. LOL.. coz my ranking is perfect, great, good, nice & average...

my bro's words keep on repeating in my mind... "why because of what he did to himself in the past, you keep feeling soft towards him? you can sympathise him, but who going to sympathise you?" i keep on telling my bro & myself if i were there for him, if i make more efforts in contacting him, maybe he wont end up like that.. partly one of the cause is also me? my bro said "even you are not there for him then, he is a guy. he should be responsible in his action. he can control his action. stress is not a good reason to do watever he did" i know that what my bro said makes sense. i know that somehow i can psycho myself to ignore him.. but how to just ignore him like that? he is now trying his very best to work the best out of himself...and i can see he really working very hard for it.. if i can just be there for him now, and make him feel better, and happier, why not? it is not a very difficult task for me, and i just have to make more effort to think bout how to go about it....

i'm not there for him then, but i just wish to be here for him now.... as a friend.. and what a friend will do... my dear brother, dun niam me on this ok! if i ever did the wrong thing, just nudge me alittle... perhaps this is one of silliest act, and eventually will suck all my brain cells away, but i really just cannot look away. if i dont know about his past, or maybe my mindset is like other normal girls out there, i definitely will just ignore him. but now i know, and my mindset is totally adnormal, how to just walk away?

and my dear brother, i know what he wants from me is not pity or empathy.. and definitely that's the last thing he wants to see from me too... the things he wants from me, i cannot give him and he knows it too... but i know that i can give him happiness... and that is what i'm good at - giving people illusion / dreams.. LOL *devil's horn popping out again*

this morning got intel requesting me to update my birthday wishlist... and ask me how i want to celebrate my birthday.. seriously i dont go gaga over my birthday ever since i was 13yrs old? haiz.. wat there to celebrate when you are getting older and older, nearer and nearer to your grave?! more wrinkles and white hair?! more commitments and responsiblities?! and lastly more problems and troubles?! HAAAAAAAAAAIIZZZ! anyway i emphais la, i only want a table after cooking nanta @ orgo ar!! HFH i dun care how you do it, you want to use umbrella to chop the table, use tissue paper to chop the table, use sam to chop the table. BUT AT THE END OF COOKING NANTA, I WANT A TABLE IN THE GLASS BOX! i want my green apple margarita & strawberry mojitos!

as for my birthday wishlist.. i think think abit first, more or less i know what i want... but i only scare i receive the same item 3times... LOL

would i give up my peaceful adnormal life for an "exciting" normal life? after listening to all the "T&C", i quite freak out.. i thought i say no more T&C!! and more T&C are presented to me! However from the stress i receive now really makes me feel, is he my soulmate? high possibility i have remember the wrong guy! LOL.. HFH shouts at me "soulmate can also remember wrongly one mei!!".. for my case, ya is a case of misidentification! hahahaha.... Mr T definitely is my soulmate and my SO is my soulmate.. and so i still got two soulmates! yeah...

Mr T is back! at last!!! i need someone to whine my heart out! somehow he is the only one i can whine to... e rest of my friends, i can just complain to...hahahaha... and yes, there is a difference between whinning & complaining... and of course he will have presents for me... i love him so very much! *hugs & kisses* BUT fking hell, i still waiting for his "something serious to tell me" thingy thing! i hate people keeping me in suspense! if u dont tell me dont tell me! dont come and "i have something serious to tell u" or "there is something about me you need to know"; then follow by "call you when i'm back"... fking eerie!!!

and i say this one more time, by default i not a very curious being... so dun keep on trying to trigger my curiousity can? and my friends are using this sentence as a joke!!!!!!!! *emo emo*

this week been a roller coaster ride....all along my life been peaceful and suddenly there is a storm pop out of no where. i dont know whether the way my brain function is different from normal people. whenever someone demands an answer from me, i do not have problem answering them. but i always wonder why people ask question when they already knew the answer i going to give? especially when the question only have one answer, and i can only say that one answer. why people still demands an answer from me? and even i can give the answer what people wants to hear, and there is no way to go from there, so what the next step they want from me?

i always try to calm down, so that i wont get mad... because when i get mad, my devil's horn will grow out of my head, and seriously i will be a scheming & manipulative bitch. i would do the wrong thing, say the wrong thing, just to get what i want... whatever it is, i did get mad last night and did something not entirely right. but i find is no fault of mine, though i feel bad for the "victim". i alway try to do the right thing, but the right thing is always seem unacceptable to these people and the devil in me will feel unbalance. if i did the wrong thing, people seems to be happier with the choice but will suffer the consequences later. seriously most of the times, even the questions are posed to me, i find the real person that is choosing the path is not me, but the person asking the question. asking the devil to choose, no matter what path she choose, is one way road to hell.

it is nice for people to think i'm always innocent, sweet and kind.. and whatever i said is just not to upset them, or make anyone feel less guilty. seriously, my dictionary does not have guilty in it! no matter how many times i explain to people, they just dont understand / cant understand or just refuse to believe the truth. dont they know devil doesnt always look hideous? and when devil speak the truth, can people PLEASE BELIEVE IT!

beside my tidbits getting mysteriously disappear, i notice my clothes at home also getting lesser & lesser. ok la, sometimes i will pack the clothes that i not wearing anyway then donate out.. but hor sometimes my friends come my house, lend my clothes & mysteriously never return back.. thinking about it, my stationery also mysteriously disappear, but i think my SO steals them la.. next my cotton buds, misc small plastic stuffs also disappear! this one more obvious, confirm is my younger daughter! and i will end up stepping on broken plastic pieces on the floor!

back to the main topics.... as i trying to be plain jane now, first i must stock up my tees... dressing for plain jane is definitely tees & jeans! below are the tees i have ordered... but not really sure plain jane will wear this or not wor.. but plain julez definitely will! LOL

and actually i also want to buy this... BUT the color is so awful! like lao sai green color... if the color of the tee is more normal normal color, i definitely will buy this! hehe... so cute right!!!!

before drafting my NZ proposal to my dear Mr T... i note down the places i want to go first... then i slowly link up the different places to create routes.. then i will start drafting the proposal...

below is my brainstorm, and MUST go places!

Bay of Islands

- 2 day cruise on board

- can go for snorkeling & kayaking

- hopefully can see dolphin & whales!!

Waitomo Caves

- actually i been there before, and the glow worms are totally amazing! is like i have travel to the other space, watching all the stars shinning on me! So this trip i will make it much more interesting.. keke...

- Caving & walking

- Cave tubing

- A small waterfall jump and ends up swimming together with the eels!!!

Franz Josef Glacier

- i still thinking should i opt for full day or half day... Mr T scares of cold, even at GV theatre he already shivering... for me, do i have the stamina to walk through the whole journey.. LOL!

- glacier hot pool!!

Milford Sound

- i still thinking whether should i opt for the relax cruise or the more adventure one... lol.. for me, i would prefer more adventure one.. we can kayak all the way to the cove, passby all the marine creatures close up.. i hope to see seals and penguin!!! but hor, again, need to consider my stamina!! LOL..

- enjoy overnight at the cruise

Mr T is going to the states, i already place my amazon order and shipped it to his hotel room.. wahahha... he niam abit about the stuffs i bought, but is really alittle bit nia.. one set of tarot card, 1 bottle of sleeping aid & 2 books nia!

See! alittle nia!! where got shopping spree... wait till he really see when i go on my shopping spree.. i think he will faint on the spot... keke... and hor, i actually plans to buy more books but all are in hard cover, so i never buy lei... if i really bought all the books i want, i think he needs to courier the books back to SG!

then he asks me why never get anything from VS... coz i totally love VS panty... keke... i was telling him the shipping would be too late, and he already travel to another state liao... so he volunteer to buy panty for me in the store.. LOL.. so touched sia.. in order to make sure he buys the correct panty for me, i give him a private lesson on panty.. hahahah... mostly about the ones i wear la... after that, i still ask him whether he will buy any souvenir for me... errm, is it too much to ask? keke...

2010-08-19T15:36:00.000+08:00

is it possible to have someone from the opposite gender that is so close to you, but never fall in love? yes, i have real close friends whom are guys..and i got 2! ninja warrior & Mr T.. how close is the close? close until i can share anything under the sky with them.. joy & tears from my SO.. helps me buy bikini and victoria secret... and even share hotel room (but different bed of course!) i been question alot of times why i can be so close with them, but dun fall in love them.. fall in love must have sparks wor.. in e beginning i dun have sparks with them, but our brain wave able to match each other frequency so we are very close lo... at some point, my ex even asks me whether ninja warrior handsome or not.. i think for sometime, but seriously i cant say he is ugly la.. but handsome or not i also not sure wor.. then i went to tell ninja warrior, and he told me my ex is testing whether i like him or not... LOL

ninja warrior is in my life ever since we fail account in poly.. and we always crap with each other.. i know all his secrets and most probably his gf also dont know.. i know all his sexual activities until i got nightmare recalling it.. so how the hell will i like him as a guy! i can love him like a friend la, no problem at all... haha...

Mr T.. i just "patch up" with him.. after 6 long years.. we know each other since secondary school.. and shared our ups and downs... due to some issue, i kinda piss off with him and isolate myself with him.. only recently we patch things up and on the way in mending the broken link... now i plan to have diving trip with him & looooong vacation in NZ with him.. when he's in USA, he can help me grabs some books and VS!! LOL... talk about NZ trip, i must start working on my proposal coz Mr T asks me to draft one.. and the deadline is Oct.... i guess i still have some time coz after he is back from USA, he will be flying to Indonesia...hehehehe...

2010-08-18T14:23:00.000+08:00

ever since i decide to quit my job, i really no mood to work... cant really say no mood because i always no mood to work.. i guess is more towards no motivation to work... all in my mind is my BKK holiday in sept, my diving lesson in sept/oct, my korea holiday in oct, more PH in nov & dec, my bonus in dec and at last can tender in Jan 2011!

i still dun understand why all the fortune tellers say this year will be a great year for me... i dont see how great is it? unless deciding that i going to quit my job is a very great thing la... wealth also not that much.. lose money in world cup, too busy to invest in stocks, so generally no "side" wealth wor... love is also sama sama, not much difference from last year... friendship is a big boost though.. i know alot of old friends back this year! and most importantly "patch back" to someone that was important in my life... i always planning to contact him, but somehow i didnt.. we just sms each other once or twice per yr and tat it.. but this year is a major jump! we chat, meet up and plan for NZ holiday next year.... maybe he just broken up so lotsa of free time? haiz.. another few months more to go before Jan 2011, and i dun think my luck for career, wealth & love will suddenly boost up.. i just carry on "investing" on my friendship especially tat important person... afterall, we are going to NZ trip next year! if he tua me, i think i will isolate him another 6yrs again... lol
