BEFORE

AFTER

he looked naked, bald and obviously vulnerable from the lack of hair.

i dont think oscar is happy with his full sinead o connor do. but then again, i have a friend who attest that there are certain "people" who are happy being a telly savalas wannabe. like the teletubbies.

this is a confirmed observation with a solid base of back up from the many books/tv programmes/newspapers/word of mouth information that i've gathered. women talks way more than men. and i believe if the above sentences in italics is typed by men, it'll probably be, women talk too much. hurrah.

which is why, what women will probably say during an introduction will be, hi im jane, please to meet you. while for men, a classic example would be; ME TARZAN!

this particular issue my friend, is certainly a no brainer. ask your male collegues how lunch was and he'll probably reply, "BURP. great!" well men grunt and definitely uses sounds of all kinds to convey their messages. and the women will probably say, "nice! do you know that the beef was marinated for 10 hours before they grilled it and blah blah blah..."

details my friend, sinks men to the deepest ocean. and while they're on the verge of drowing from your verbal vomit of a gazillion vocabulary reservoir, they'll probably be thinking, "hey i just discovered that my toes are interesting, they look like mushrooms." how do i know that? because jon is usually doing something close to that example. just that he doesnt observe his toes, he gives a blank stare and his mouth is usually opened a little, enough for the fly to stay in and a build a dam. and his eyes! he'll fit in nicely with that zombie from tales from the crypt. thanks for listening huh.

then comes the reply after an explaination. my dad is a perfect example of how men reply. after a thousand word explanation on how delicious the chup chye bng is, he replied with a sound like grunt that sounds like orh and okay. which sounds like orh-ey. sigh. sometimes i hope that they can appreciate by spewing more words like, okay, thanks for sharing or sure thing, lets go there soon. geddit? well at least the men i know doesnt replies me with the ultimate answer K. because that will result in a head injury with me K-ing them in the head.

im not saying that all men are like that. i met my fair share of men who talks like rambo's record killing but with words only. one of them whom i shall not disclose his great name is one of them. when he's on a sugar rush, it's a death penalty online just watching him type on msn. i honestly think that my msn window is about to explode. and frankly speaking, i do enjoy it just that being on the receiving end of his sugar rush deliverance sometimes forces me to enter the space zone and i just do what the men do. space out.

i guess there'll always be many communicative differences between men and women even with the the rising no of books teaching men and women how to communicate. we can improve but the dna that God decided for men and women is already fixed. so live with it germaine. and jon, prevent the dam from builing in your mouth, close it and at least pretend to look interested =p

since dawn yang earns about four-six grand with her not at all witty* (disclaimer) posts (some say its as bland as water - which i couldnt agree more) with some very pretty hot looking pictures on her informative blog, i figured that i can do the same too! well, i look pretty hawt~ though my posts are not exactly wonderful either but the truth is, i'll probably earn more merits by talking less without thinking then trying to be another blogger wannabe who earns moolah just by sitting in front of the comp while suffering from piriformis - SIGH.

well, for a start, having a blog means i must have readers. i do have some readers, i think. and i'd like to think that my readers read my blog for the following reasons.

1. my blog entries are so funny, they go HAHAHA instead of HAWHAWHAW. RIGHT?
2. they are my friends and i believe they want to read because they want to. RIGHT?
3. they're simply being supportive. RIGHT?

but i do not want these reasons to be why my blog is being read

1. my blog is pathethically unfunny. they come in and say, HAHAHA not funny.
2. i have a stalker who wants to know everything and everything thats going on in my life. so if you fit the status, then, well, confirm you're a stalker. which btw you are not welcome at all.
3. routine order. so sad la! im just one of the many links you click on after many other links.

well, the objective of this totally redundant and bo liao entry is... is that im on a hunger strike (in other words, fasting). so i dont think,

• blogging about food is the best topic to blog about.
• im going to mention about the worst hair cut i had in my whole entire adult life which upsets me so much i thought of doing a sinead o connor.
• im will talk about oscar cos he's way over rated cos people ask about him more than me.
• i will blog about my working hours which is 12pm - 830pm and that starting work at noon is not exactly the best hour to walk around tanjong pagar because the weather is so hot that i could fry an egg on my head and i believe, telling you all that would have probably bored you guys to dust.
• i will describe about my debut online purchase of keroppi items because i'd rather post pics of them in another entry and titled it "ode to keroppi".
• i will blog about how my fasting went along though its great but because i like to categorise my entries into different categories and that today's entry will only focus on blogging.

and i dont think i can earn any buckeroos in any way i blog. so, i just have to settle with my sad blogging life as a blogger wannabe who can never be - SIGH.

till then, take care.

the above pics was taken on sunday night. my family took me out for a dinner celebration with a special guest invited, daryl. ha! cake was exceptionally good especially with the butter cream and chocolate ganache. and its cheap too! pweet!

after dmm on tuesday, i took a cab home. went past holland v and recalled the taste of garlic prawn spaghetti i had at cafe 211. must go again i thought. while the cab wizzed pass many street lamps, the only thought on my mind was the vision God had for me =) sweet~

when i reached my blk, i saw a familiar figure among the bushes. i squint and saw a man with a huge mole on his face. oh, its jon. hahaha who can miss that mole of his? it was a birthday surprise for me!!! awww...

on wednesday, we celebrated by going for my favourite breakfast at macdonalds! plans were disrupted by the pouring rain and we had to postponed our cycling plans to 3pm from the initial 9am. thats like 6 hours later lo~ but in between we had katong laksa, 5 star chix rice, grocery shopping at cold storage while waiting for the rain to stop, including that long cold bus ride from toa payoh to katong. brrr...

despite the rain, we bought a pint of decadent sinful dark rich awfully chocolate ice cream 黑. i think we're nuts la. then the rain stopped! prayers answered!!! we went over to east coast and cycle for a full 2 hours. legs ached like mad and with our stomachs filled with ice cream, we decided to stop over to chat. afterwhich we went home to a scrumptious dinner cooked personally by my dad ^^ and we ended off with durian puffs and home made tiramisu, made by yours truely.

i believe the climax of the whole cycling trip was at bedok jetty when we shared about ourselves. which i heart of cos. thank you for sharing, listening and praying together. thank you jon.

im going cycling on monday again!!! yippe!!!

ps,i have 4 entries published, so do scroll down after this post.

:: with the wind against our faces, we say amen ::

my holidays have been great. i've been thinking about how to maximise my time for myself, like sew some zakka, bake tiramisu/cookies, shop and or visit the library and read for one full day. but God has got greater plans for me. to maximise my time for other people! =)

so i baked tiramisu for people, spent quality time with my bestie, ate with pop (he brought me to his fav duck rice stall while i brought him to my fav chup chye bng stall), visited the library - toilet while jon borrowed books instead of me -.-, cooked with jon, cooked for livi and merv, talked to oscar A LOT, spent many nights just admiring the night sky and just talking to God. in the end, i am much happier because this hols was spent for others instead of myself. its true, it's more blessed to give than to receive ^^

on tuesday dmm, my leader saw a vision, for me. it was heart warming (maybe because God knows i cant handle surprises well haha) well, i kept thinking about this vision and it brings a smile to my face knowing that in the past, present and future, i'll always be in God's hands.

a simple special entry for a very special girl.

this entry is for a very special someone. she's so special that she deserves an entry specially written for her. so if you do find your name in my blog once a while, you're special too. but if you dont, than go to some corner and bawl your eyes out.

she's special because she's like my alter ego. we've so much in common, think almost the same, like the same songs, almost the same build and size (almost la. LOL) and well, because we live/fight/run/cry/sleep/together for the great cause for some donkey years not to mention how often we fight against each other during the same time, that makes her even special than special. anyway, she is special thus this special entry. ok. special is overused.

dear friend of mine who deserves an entry written just for her.

i am thankful for your presence in my life for the past years. like i said in my msn convo box, its time to be taken care of ^^ i cant type much here but lets go through the good and the tough times in the future shall we? us.

xoxo
