Three 30 yr olds heading the clubs...

Michelle was back for a week, for Karen's "surprise" baby shower, however, on that day, I see Karen preparing the food for her "party". Haha, another surprise party FAILED! But hey, who cares, we had fun, it's been awhile since many of us got together. Sooner or later, Im sure such event will become more of a norm with all the babies around us popping out! I think I'll wait a while..

So Friday Nite, 5 Oct 2007 makes the day that ALL 3 of us (Lindy, Mitch and I) will remember..Im sure this story will come up again during our next Christmas party or CNY. Ok, I mean, when was the last time the 3 of us got together, in the same country to a nite of clubs? Like perhaps in 2000 in Perth? So we plan a nite of party, 1st stop, St. James Power House then MOS and last, Butter Factory.

We met up and left Mitch's house at 11pm, drove to St. James, firstly we missed the turn into the carpark (TWICE) and then we had to U-turn and try to get amongst the stopped cabs alighting passengers was already a turn-off, then heading into the carpark, FINALLY, it was fullhouse. OK, we'll head to Vivo carpark, we parked. Left the building and was ready to start our nite. We got out of the carpark, thought we'll be some good citizen and refused to jay walk across to St. James. We found the overhead bridge, some 100m away from where we were, saw some stairs and started climbing, 3 stories up and damned!!! It doesn't join the bridge? Fuck, went down and JAYWALK instead. We had to go a BIG round to the back of the building to get in. Aiyoh, fuck the nite is humid and all these getting lost didn't help much. *sweat*

~" OK, I hate this place already" claims Michelle.. (circling her car around for a lot)

Oh, I forgot a very important fact here, while jay walking across the roads, one of the 2 stripes of my wedge heels is broken, arhhh... I had to walk slowly to prolong its lifespan thru the nite..

So we went through the different rooms and thought, err.. think we should go ... M.O.S. wohoo, I like that place, the last I went, I didn't wanna leave the dance floor. So we head towards M.O.S. Parked at Laing Court and headed to the club.
We went to the pure room (white room) and oh my gosh, the first thing that hit me was the music.. I loved it, we loved it.And the tables and bar stools that we sat in were the exact blow up of a panadol (like magnified it to 200 times) So we loved this room and the music, we should have left St. james earlier and not waste our precious time there.. Walking to the other rooms like studio 54 and the main areana..the stripes of my heels broke? Goodness, I have 2 broken stripes on each side of my heels!!!! We had to take a pic of that, Lindy did and left me embarassed when others walking past me were staring at my foot, AMUSED and AMAZED!

What a sight!

Oh no.... time check, its already 2am and Lindy told Dre we'll be there by 1.30am! Gees, we'll b back tomorrow, Lindy and I said! Oh well, we thought we would but forgot these days we need 5 days to recouperate after a nites of partying. Oh ya, we're 30 and thought we were still 22!

So let's go..Butter Factory.... otw to the carpark, haha... classic.. my left heel decides enough is enough and left me shoeless! Ok, Mitch, does uncle David has spare slippers in his car...NO, he had a pair of golf shoes and sneakers.. sure, It'll matched my short denium and my funky mango tube top and my beautify smile? and its getting real late.. argh... fuck, go barefoot la, not the first time anyway.

Butter, here we come... ok, we have about 30 mins here before the club closed for the day. woohoo, its hot in here, I was happy standing behind Dre and stealing his fan while the gals danced on the dance floor. Besides, Im barefooted remember?

So dancing away next to the fan on the DJ console, there was a sudden shut down of lights, I thought, hey this is better, darker! Then I realised, what! Power failure! Dre says never happen before man! Gees.. err, is it us? Is it me? or us?

Ok, 3am! Butter closed.. I need to find my way out and aviod the broken glasses, phew..I did it, I was on the main road, hailing a cab.. our nite ended..

I think this will be the last time we party..we are considering retirement..Mitch has been awarded a 15 yrs service trophy for her support to the club scene and I, may just boggie to the beats while I mop the floor..haha. Times changed, we have grown out of these, once we considered the only and most important factor of our lives.

Oh well.. party's over, mitch is leaving today and its back to reality again. A weekend like this, mitch's surprised visit and we actually partying.. ALMOST UNREAL!

A nite to remember...

Tone of voice..

I have been facing the challenge of this issue! The tone of voice with men! what's with Men? they always claimed they aren't shouting at you, its not you, they got tok nicely what! okok.. FYI, U didn't tok nicely.. U arent shouting at me but I think my granny who is staying in Batam can hear you very clearly! So what seems to be the problem here? Oh oh, I forgot, no problem what, why should I magnify it? Oh did I? I guess after daily encounters of these for the past years resulted in this? I have no idea, But U THINK?

So today, 24 Aug, at 8.58, I rushed and I mean rushed to work, cos I left home late! what's new, seems like daily routine, oh well, its usually not me though Im the lady here!! Need I say more?

Luckily I managed to ran across the mad roads in the fight against the mad traffics in the mrning... we had to jay walk to ofe, that is the only way. Sumtimes, crossing the road takes a good 5 to 10 mins! JUST waiting for a chance to cross the freaking roads.. and these motorists has their rights of way to ZOOM past you with a speed of 120km/h .. and u sumtimes feel like ur face is next to their door...??? woohoo.. what adrendaline rush.. NOT!!! This is what I have to face daily.. so I hate to rush to work!

So stepping into the office, I feel like I have used 30% of my energy just to fight against time to get to work and hey the day hasnt started yet! Good luck to me then.. so I googled a very important focus for the day! Men's used of tone! Apparently most if not ALL men has this problem. They dun realised their used of tone is unnecessary and the receiver will start their day on the wrong note and in fact, spoil the day! Most days I think I can overlook it and be optimistic and IGNORE it, well, I have my moments too. Some days I hopped onto my bus and left my boyfriend in the train, I wish its a rainy day and it will covered my tears as it streamed down my cheek! I need to b with myself and have some clarity and serenity..

Talking with Joey and Esther about Men and after suring the net for it, are they all the same, apparently ya.. I always tot Im probably one of the "lucky" women who face this issue in the world, as I do not see my bro-in-law anywhere near this trait! But do I feel "slightly contented" when Esther shared that she sumtimes faced this problem too. So my qn is : How to handle this? Is it a man's thing but I dont remember seeing this trait in Men are from MArs and woman from Venus. Should I just accept it? I tried ..I tried..

But I wish men out there, whoever is reading this, please take 3 mins of ur time to analyse this, yes, u have this problem. Acknowledged it, so that you wont ever pissed your girl off by denying it. Acknowlegde the problem so that you will change and be the better man!

Just a little shomthing that I found on the net, in case you still wanna deny the fact that I made this up! haha..

The ever recurring "tone of voice"!!!
Not that any of you have this issue but if you do.....I have been of the belief that every man suffers from a "tone of voice" issue. You know that intonation in their voice that communicates " duh are you stupid!?" I have been of this belief since early in our marriage. NOW as the mother of a 16 year old male, I am convinced of it! He has that same intonation whenever I ask a question! Here is the thing....I was also convinced that no woman lest of all myself would ever have tone of voice issue! It just isn't in our makeup...ALAS...until one of my lovely friends commented the other day ( as we were discussing this issue) that she was pointing out to her husband that she did not like his tone and he replied," have you ever listened to yourself?" YIKES...is it possible? Do we as women suffer from that intonation also? Do we communicate in our tone, " duh are you stupid?"

10 things that I CAN'T STAND!!! Tell me yours?

Thanks Joey for giving me this topic to blog; wanted to blog to kill this last hour in the office on this friday afternoon, but my mind's just not very cooperative, no juice.. While chatting with joey, she mentioned that she hate the feeling cutting her own nails then **tink* I've got an idea, I also hate certain habits and things in life; let's see:

1) I hate filing my own nails: weirdest feeling ever, goose bumps shoutting help help.. we are all standing tall.. however, I do not mind others filing for me (hint hint, Rick)

2) I can't stand pple trying to cut my Q or rush me off the bus or pple hurrying into the mrt while I was trying my best to get off..Crap, lemme get down and u can then get in.. Kiasu-ism.. fockers!!!

3) I can't stand sink not cleared : err.. whoever washed the dishes, can you make sure the sink is free from residual please.. Gees!!

4) I can't stand stepping into the toilet and .. who the fuck use the last sheet of toilet roll and forgot to replace it? damn.. some consideration la..

5) I can't stand toothpaste squeezed from the middle, c'mon we only squeezed from the ends.. there's where it begins, so keep the cycle and tradition going, MEN!!!(except Affendie)

6) I can't stand smelling durian in enclosed area, especially in air-con places. That means, can we get that uncle to NOT have a small stall at cold storage and shouting lelong lelong, 1 packet $5, 2 packets $8 oni..sure nice one.. (though I love to eat durian, from the shell ONLY) Cheers to Alice, she'll love me for saying this..

7) That brings me to another .. I can't stand eating durian from pre-pack containers, you got to eat durian from the shell itself (is that what it's call?), I can't imaghine that uncle putting his finger or whichever to try and get the durian out and in the process, "hurting" and making dents on my durians. Also, yrs ago, I saw this old lady picking thrown away durian from some thrash, like making kway kway out of it, since then, I never touch durian merchanise eg durian puffs, durian roll cos I can imgaine them using their hands and finger rubbing on the durian, and all those dirt under the skin and nails...errks..I can just puke now!

8) I can't stand when I am thinking of something and I simply can't recall sumthing but its at the back of my head and I am sure I always know that information. Thanks AGnes, my dear sis, some yrs back, she will (before our bedtime) hym a tune and ask me to think of the song title for she can't recall! Well, at four in the morning, I will wake her up cos I finally remembered after 5 hours of constant thinking and seraching for it in my mind.. err.. shit, time to wake up in 3 hrs but I haven't sleep yet!!!!

9) I can't stand drinking water, haha.. I hate mineral water especialy, well well, am into my 5th mug today, that is a constant effort on my part, some days I go thru them with just 1 mugful.. but 3 mugs of coffee later..

10) Lastly (actually I am trying hard to name them, seems like I can never find 10 things that I hate when I need this but when I don't need it..man, they came flowing like the river, murphy's law) I hate to wake up just 15 mins before my alarm goes.. cos I need my sleep and 15 mins is FUCKING huge...

phew.. I did it, all 10 of them.. err.. did I miss out anything? er.. surely I have, knowing my goldfish memory!

Arr..11th (bonus track, keke) I simply hate it to have a preview or watching any trailer of movies, read any reviews or see or hear any reports from critics before I watch the movie. I hate to hear from anyone even frends, as long as I wanna watch the movie. I do not want anyone to give their expectation or perception onto me, giving me an expectation before the movie. I like to receive the movie at the time that I watch it and not have any prior perception on it. So shhh.. dun tell me anything, even if I ask you many times. so shhhhhhhh.....

Boredom

It's monday again, I slept at 2am last nite and that is way past my bedtime, knowing the number of dreams that I have every nightly I probably need 10 hrs of sleep to at least get some rest! To make things worse, I wasn't feeling at all my tip top and I was waking up every hour I think! Finally I got my ass to the office before 9am, the network is down and I can't access some work, that sets me thinking, what a dragful day! Joey's (my chat mate) on leave today and my other msn-er, wonder if he'll get himself to work too. He is just like me, hates Monday, aquarian and worse of, has more flexiblity to his work schedule making him 2 hrs late daily or NOT WORK at all!

Lately I have been thinking, how my life has changed in the last 5 yrs! How I have changed in the last 5 yrs! How I have slowed down in the life, somehow I missed some part of my lively days. I am not saying that I am not happy, cheerful or joy these days, just that it felt that life then was more spontaneous, more spice and fun! I miss the those days where Mitch will call me up at midnite for a drive, I miss those days where I get excited getting ready for Bon Jovi's concert at 3pm (that early?) , I miss those days where I do not plan anything at all...

What is it that I truely miss? I miss my life? I dunno.. I miss my passion? Maybe.. I need to have more excitement now, instead of the usual routine week after week. These days I hardly even enjoy any gatherings with my good friends or girlfriends. It seems like everyone's just busy, married and gave birth. I dun even remember my last coffee with any friend, I miss hanging out with my friends..hmm.. yeah, maybe..

Oh no, what a heavy draggy mentality for a early monday morning! Can I go home? Actually, can I go off and have some fun.. say to Sentosa? Swing by a club later today( but its monday) or catch a coach to KL for a short break? Oh well.. Guess NOT!! fuck, this is so boring..

Im bored.. guess thats me, we aquarians get bored too easily.. too fast! EXCITE me.. someone date me out quick.. perks me up alil..

Rain... Its been awhile


More then often, when I am feeling down, I wish it would rain now. For me, it has always been nature crying together with me, comforting me and just answering me. All those questions in my head, all those thoughts racing thru my mind.
Its been a while since I walk under a heavy downpour, to feel the raindrops on my skin, to just be spontaneous and not to have to worry about all those consequences there after.
When..when did we lose ourselves??
Is age getting the most of us?
Where's the child in us?
Have we been moulded by the society and environment?
Somehow, rain has been a mixed feeling for me, it's either sad or pure happiness? But I can safely say, when Im sad, I think of rain and this song, it won't rain all the time that was featured in The Crow. It send me straight to the road of sadness part 1.. It allows me to dwell in my problem for a while, cry alittle. That is all that we wanted ever, eventually, a little release to let go of a certain part of us.
Letting go has been the most cliche ever broke-up sentence I say, but the depth of it is just so unmeasurable? there is always a certain part of memory that we hold on to, refusing its release for the fear that once we have done so, we will forgot this person? Will that happen? I dunno.. But I never believe that u can let go n forget a person one hundred percent !!! We always remember something of that someone who was once (or still am) an important person in our life.
Like the song (it wont rain all the time) sang;
..It wont rain all the time, the sky will fall for ever, although the nites seems long, your tears wont fall forever...
For all the times that we feel down, we will pick up our strength again and move on as the sky clears up...
Closure.. I needed a good punchline for this closure but I am so stuck.. just like many things in life, we are in search of a closure, to wind up that part of you.. for now, I shall leave it as it is, an open chapter in my life...
