Gee, i just read a post from huiluan about 25 random things-_-" i guess i shall be random today.

I just started reading a book called "Why men don't listen and women don't forget"

Don't ask me why i'm reading such a book, i went to psychology section to try to make sense of psychology and this book just caught my eye cos of its lime green cover. But yea, then again, i'm quite random so it's quite an interesting read.

It can be quite dry at times though but my favourite comes at the facts of life and how men and women are different.

Do you know...

Men have generally bigger brains compared to women? (it's scientifically proven)

[Before the male starts criticising the female, let me add on.]

It's also scientifically proven that women have more grey matter as compared to men.


A classic example of why size doesn't matter.

haha,doesn't this prove a point?

Don't get it? nevermind, you lack pia mater:D

The chinese new year break nearly killed me of boredom. Surprise surprise, most of my friends were celebrating the year of the ox or working while i was rotting at home, staring into space.

Okay, exaggerated as i may sound, i only stayed home for two whole days,and i must admit that is quite a feat for me already cos i'm mostly out of the house most of the time. But well, i had a great time on the eve of new years', celebrating a farewell and birthday celebration. Potluck as it was, the only thing provided for were bbq food and mostly booze. haha, my donut empire was snapped up in barely 2 minutes, but heck, it shows i choose the right food:D but yea,it was a wacky party to be at, it was like good cos booze,cigs and entertainment were provided. the company of friends were fun & welcoming considering nada & i were the newbies and also treated like the 'babies':)) but yea, everyone got high before 11pm but well, we were quite sober to know what we were doing, in a way.

We stayed out till the next morning before i got home around 9am, and i managed to get 3 hours of sleep before being awaken by evil sister who forceed me to accompany dad & her to mustafa ctr. i was a zombie for a day, but i still got to buy 2 tops for myself:D lucky i got something for the trip down.hehe, but yea, we bought a hd tv & its hot red!woohoo...i'm so into red,orange and hot pink now.

that aside, i stayed home the next two days, plans to meet up were cancelled cos it wasn't confrmed and all. tsk..sick of the lack of wanting to confrim things and i hate things most when plans are changed at the last moment. Not that i;m resistant to changes, but people nowadays should start learning to respect the time people has set aside to meet them for appointments, instead of happily cancelling the meet ups. these people ought to be shot.hrmph.


anyway, this year, i'm gonna spend my birthday at camelot camp. Oh wow, you must be thinking it must be a loserish birthday:/ but hey, i don't mind, i don't like kicking up a fuss about birthdays, to me ,it's just another reminder that time is ticking by and i'm getting damn old.(damnnit)

but yea, since i've got pay day, i've still got a long list of things to buy, but the pay isn't sufficient. darn, so pls be charitable and donate to malina-needs-funds. hohoho

1)Sports shoes (DONE! GOt purple asics from daddy!:D)
2)Sports tops ( DONE!same sponsor as above)
3)Mountain bike ( unanimous refusal by my family to buy one for me:( )
4)Crocs! ( a nice cute one for my own use)
5)Haviannas sandals ( think my sister is buying this for my bithday! hohoho)
6)A pair of Oakleys shades ( i need to work 3 camps to pay for a pair of these:/)
7)More dresses
8)Camping pouch for own use
9)Pumps! Those with less heels are something i need to invest in
10)Shoebag! i need to find another orange shoebag to replace the ones that i got from girlfriends last year
11)accesories!
12)more jeans/bottoms
13) money to pay for my driving license


Gahhh..all these need money and that means i need to either get assigned more camps or plot to solo rob a bank (since my partner in crime is serving the nation over at tekong:/)

it's ok, i guess i'll have to take a few months to save up,especially for the mountain bike!:D

The last time i blogged was 3 weeks ago and soo many things have happened i feel overwhelmed on what i should blog about.

so many different events happened, from good to bad, happy and sad,i'd say it's been quite a challenging january.

after having done my first camp with camelot, i met wacky people who are great & give me a refreshing view of life(ironic especially from their tembak habit) and how to inject fun with work:) finally, away from jc kids, who are trained to follow by the book (no offense, i mean i am a jc kid too) away from rigidity in structure and finally some leeway. i'm still looking forward to working with camp ha though, i'd like to see the difference in the management of camps,provided they assign me even a camp to start with :/ but yea, i guess i'm sticking to camps n tuition to live by for now. to just get another better paying job for now is quite hard,especially with the recession. well, the pay may not be as good as an office job, but i bet you the fun and experience is just as worth it.

ok,enough of work for now, as for family, i just had two relatives passed away back to back, my dad's brother and my mother's brother's wife. It was really a task to have to handle two funerals one day after the other, especially when i received news of my aunt's passing on during camp. it felt so surreal, a shock till now that she's gone forever,i can't quite imagine that she's no longer around. Even though i've only come to taking care of her 2 times, her death was quite a hit in the face for me, cos i was planning to visit her after camp the next day. I guessed i should have scheduled a visit much earlier, cos what's left of now are just regrets, words that are useless even if written and binded into a book. she has passed on and life has to go on, no matter how harsh that may sound.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HECTOR SIM!:D


omg, he's 19 already and i'm gonna turn 19 in exactly one month's time:/ boohoo, that sucks, i'm getting older by the day, yet i think i'm getting childish at the same time:/ haha, anyway, i stayed home today & finally went for a run!woohoo, felt really good to have a good run after soo long! and i found out i ran 9.1km(according to mapmyrun.com) so yay! it's more than my target of 8km!

After night cycling & the hike in adult fares,i'm seriously considering to buy myself a good mountain bike( a road bike is really expensive) the idea of having my own bicycle is just soo exciting cos that means i can cycle around whenever i want (at the same time tone my muscles!hehe) gosh, i even had the crazy idea to cycle to bottletree park tmr (should i have a bike) to save on bus fare. lol, i think i'm crazy but i'm still in the want to have an adventure mood. [i was soo tempted to run on the road cos i missed the feeling of cycling on the road]

yes,i think i'm crazy too, maybe it's just a phase that one goes through after A levels. okay, i think i'd better sleep, need to be at bottletree park by 8.30am, gahh.

Darn...i just had my first fast food meal for 2009 yesterday!

KFC Zinger Students' Meal. Urghh..imagine the amount of calories I have to burn from eating that! It was all thanks to manda & her sudden urge to eat KFC.:/ yes yes, i could have resisted the temptation but well..i haven't eaten fast food for quite some time too.

Anyway, yesterday's meeting for Post D&D was quite fruitful EVEN with only manda & I attending (with weiyi for 30min) after the feedback session/interview, manda & I had a loong catching up session with each other & had girl talk:))

after that i meet up with my primary school friends!:D

haha and we decided to to take our friendship to the next level & go clubbing before jasper goes to army! how exciting & weird at the same time!

and after that,i met up with hector sim & he met my pri school friend! this is hilarious cos i got to meet his pri school friend a few days back. & so we went out to camwhore at the flyer! am still waiting for photos from jasper!:D

Oh no, new year's just started on a bad note.

i just got the same postponed interview postponed again and i decided to take actions and told the girl off.:/ gahh..i mean:

1. I found out that the company is in the sales marketing industry even though they claim to look for a "customer service" employee (customer service my ARSE) that totally cheated me cos i thought i was registering for front desk job.
2. they cancelled my interview barely 2 hours before it started & that wasted my time cos i set aside time for it,cancelling or postponing my other plans.
3. the woman kept beating round the bush when i wanted to confirm the jobscope that got on my nerves & caused me to reply her sms on a bitchy note.

"hey there, i think you can just cancel my slot for tmr's interview cos i'm not interested in the jobscope & it shows a lot from cancelling my interview slot twice & not respecting the time i set aside for the interviews."

IN YOUR FACE bitch. gahh,i ended up staying home when i could have booked for dance lessons.

seriously,all these people ought to be shot.

i just had a different way of celebrating countdown for 2009, the first of its own getting to avoid all the sweaty people,large families,and drunk people for the first time! haha, plus, this was really a last minute plan that brilliantly suggested by yours truly.:D hoho, too brilliant to the extent that we ended up waiting until 8am for the bike shop to open. hohoho,happy new year!

But yea, night cycling was fun with hector(navigator) & alvin(pro biker)cos they were really crazy & all & i got the first taste of night cycling(last time i did that was in cedar years & it was really mild) so we had a crazy stupid idea to go to esplanade & we waded through the traffic past esplanade into esplanade drive where we got stuck in human traffic(which was far more dangerous & merciless than vehicles) and so turned back toooo kallang to our newfound rendezvous spot!hehe, we should come up with an article for couples of the many rendezvous spots in singapore!

Alvin the pro biker & I


After kallang and watching old boring fireworks, we sent alvin off to tampines back home cos the poor dude had work the next morning. While on our way to tampines, at bedok area, I HAD MY FIRST BIKE SPRINT OF 2009!

hahaha, it was amusing to start with cos we were cycling away when we caught up with this bangla. so hector decided to cut past him cos he was holding us back. after hector overtook him, alvin and i decided to do so to close up the gap. and then, the bangla decided to race with me without me realising at first! haha...when i realised he went ahead of me, and i was more than determined to show him superwoman powers of mine & i pedalled like a maddog & i overtook him! wheee:) haha who says foreign talent is always good? wahaha, cheap thrill for the new years!

Hector Sim the loser & i:D


The first sunrise to welcome 2009!


But yea, after sending alvin, hec & i wanted to join kev & co. over at downtown only to realise that that idiot was going to ECP! GAHH.. so we had to cycle back to ecp & i came to hector sim's rescue & help him fix his bicycle chain!hoho,2009 starting out great already with my superwoman acts, maybe i can act in Heroes for the next season>_< but yea, it was a whole night of cycling & we finally rested at 4-5plus where hec & i got to have reflections & trade secrets*hohoho* we chill until 8 plus am before we went home and I had 2 hours of sleep before setting off to teach tuition:((loserish life yeaaa)

after a loong draggy session for tuition, i met up with marcus to visit him at his work which was conveniently near hougang mrt. chatted with him for a while before meeting up with my girlfriends!:D one minah,one ah lian & one neutral(that's me k!) hanging out together is soo not a good combination cos some mats kept disturbing us at different junctures,like sooo what the heck. we chilled at pasir ris beach, and chit chat!hoho, i love beaches. while eating our ramli burger, these two phillipine dudes came to us & serenade ronin keating's-when you say nothing at all on the guitar & we totally melted & donated to the charity organisation they were raising funds for!haha, at that moment, we all wished for a boyfriend who can do that!

BFFAE


but yea,after that we decided to bid farewell & meet up soon & i reached home at10pm(kuddos for the early time to reach home in '09!) and i'm so tired now yet i can't sleep,so i rellly think i'll have eyebags like owls cos they don't sleep at night.

and i'm so happy rachel pointed to me that i haven't broken my new years resolution YET cos its supposed to be CUT DOWN on the use of profanities & vulgarities & not stop the use of it completely(phew)

hoho, that's a relief cos i called yz a bitch & wtf unintentionally while talking to hec online. hoho, nada pointed out bitch=vulgarity but then again its so subjective. it's all just a form of figure of speech & expression so common that it doesn't sound so vulgar no more. :/ haha, so much so that it lost its meaning & had become mild. ok, doesn't give me the excuse to cut down my use of vulgarities!
