Changed again coz Wordpress so diff to use, and so restrictive.

But keeping WP as a back up in case lah. :-p

Dear all,

I have decided to shift my blog to http://andreakoh.wordpress.com

So if you’re free and ‘around the area’, please visit the blog k.

Thanks to Cindy for introducing the website, and thanks to Matthew Chong (eventho he doesn’t know it) for giving me the inspiration to shift my blog. :-p

I actually wanted to start writing about my bday weekend (it’s nearly a week since the celebrations) but I got pretty upset today. Actually, it’s coz of the plane crash in Sao Paolo. I normally am very disattached to crashes and stuff happening around the world, occasionally being interested only for the sake of being curious; but the plane crash in brasil suddenly jolt me and made me worried. Why right?

I know this sounds silly but I have a few frens staying in Sao Paolo right now and they live in the city centre. Sigh. So i quickly messaged two of them (coz i know for certain the other one is now in Spain at the moment) to find out if they were ok. Somehow or rather, i just felt like one of them was connected to the crash and was very very worried.

Thank god this fear was of no grounds. I found out that, yes, one of them WAS connected to the crash! It was just coz he was working for the company whose plane crashed. AND he was ACTUALLY working in the building next to the crash! OMG!!!!! Two of his frens were in the next building and they were unfortunately killed in that incident.

i know it sounds bad, but i was soooo relieved to hear my fren was lucky enough not to be in that building. sigh. Tat’s why i’m pretty upset. I know life and death is inevitable, just that sometimes it hits pretty ‘close’ to u that it draws your attention to the fact that life is so fragile.

And that is why we should enjoy our life to the fullest.

Sorry to keep posting, but i LOVE this song

They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies and the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They’re gonna give you a smirk
‘Cause they got methods of keepin’ you clean
They’re gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in a clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
[Teenagers lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Ohhh yeah!

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
so darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

All together now!

Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Oh,Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Ok. I managed to find the podcast for anyone interested in laughing at Ron in the face.

Go to:

Download the clip from 03 July 2007.

WOOHOO!

Ok. This will not be as funny as compared to if you hear it first hand from me (or the victim, Ron). Mwahahaha

Anyway, 98.7fm’s "Muttons in the Morning" has this segment where you need to prank call your fren (DIY style) and if you do it successfully, you will win a free phone. I’ve been listening to it for some time now and thought how fun it would be to prank call Ron and even better to win a phone lah. hahha.. So i was just waiting for the moment.

Over the weekend, Ron got his official first pay cheque and was very happy about it. Treated me to a great German lunch and all lah. Yum yum! At the end of the day (like we do most of the time), we calculate our expenses just to ensure that everything is in order.

So anyway, he passed me his atm card to go withdraw some money to put into my account to do some internet banking and all lah. It so happen, this morning, on the way to work, the Muttons called for anyone interested to prank their frens to sms in. First time i hear the call for SMS wor, so i decided, ok, today i shall try to ‘mutton’ Ron by telling him that all his hard earned cash somehow was gone.

Wah, i got picked leh. They called me, we discussed strategy and soon i was on the air. They called Ron. Convo something like that lah (try to imagine me in my really desperate, angry voice)

Ron: Hello

Ming: Hello, where are u?

Ron: Still at home. Why?

Ming: U know u asked me to withdraw the money right?

Ron: Yea, why? (kancheong sounding a lil)

Ming: I wanna ask u ah, did u spend on anything that i didn’t know of over the weekend?

Ron: No ah, why?

Ming: I can’t draw your money out.

Ron: HUH? What you mean?

Ming: There’s no more money in your account. Are u sure u didn’t spend on something i didn’t know of? (Sounding Angry)

Ron: HUH? U gotta be kidding!!! What did they say when u couldn’t draw the money?

Ming: Well, u know when u just put in the card then put in the amount u wanna draw? So they said cannot draw lah. So i went to the account balance and found out you were left with $18! WHAT did u do with the cash? (Angrier now)

Ron: HUH? WALAU EH. NO ah. I din do anything! How come? U gotta be kidding!!!!! WALAU EH (no expletives, dun worry.. heng ah!)

Ming: After i left on Friday night, did you spend on ANYTHING or not?

Ron: No leh. I Swear! I dunno wat happened (Panicking a lot now!)

Muttons: But you promised to buy me a diamond ring mah

Ron: No ah……

(Laughter)

Ron: Who’s this????

Muttons: Ron, we are the Muttons. U are on radio!

(Laughter)

Ron: It’s NOT funny!

(Laughter continues)

Ron: It’s NOT funny! I’m never ever gonna listen to 98.7fm or the radio ever again! I’m not gonna eat mutton or lamb!

(Laughter continues)

Muttons: Ron, you win a Motorola Slvr phone!

Ron: Woohoo. (now happy!)

LOL.

Actually it’s not just anybody.

It’s this STUPID IDIOTIC Half Bad Old Man with ugly face and a fat body who thinks he’s the smartest man on earth and who keeps asking stupid questions over and over again (adding in his OWN version of answers) and then demanding to know my full name ("It is my right to know your full name") and keeps on repeating "oh in your line must be patient". BULLL. I was sooo patient until i couldn’t tahan anymore but I was still patient. U wanna see impatient? Impatient is when i stand up from my chair, take my chopstick and pluck out watever hair that’s left on your bloody brainless head and make u eat it.

You better beware, coz IF i ever see you, u better hope and pray that there are no steps nearby (push u down, or up the steps for that matter), no drains nearby (feed u free longkang water), no roadside (and vehicles running at top speed) nearby (make u into prata), no floor nearby (use my newly found aikido skills), no grass nearby (feed u soil)…. Just better hope u’ll not see me on the streets coz i’ll be out of the office and in a very very very mad mad mood if i ever see your half balding, ugly and fat self on the streets. Dun think just coz they raised the CPF rate to a higher age means i’ll take pity on your pathetic self. I hope for your case, your CPF disappeared suddenly without u knowing it! I hope it is donated to some home where they will deserve it better than you!!!!!!!!

Be careful where u walk, coz in the words of Rawn Koh: You won’t live long.

HMPH!

Whew. That feels much better.

Ok

I am very sleepy now. Nearly couldn’t wake up. Was up last night til about 1am/2am staring at the little screen… of my NEW PHONE!!!! YEAY! It was a semi impulse buy lah. Starhub sent me a special 1 year upgrade voucher worth $200. I think it’s coz my hp bills every mth damn high lah, so they smart enough to sen me something before i go crazy with the bills. My pink phone was already giving me a lil trouble (yes, everytime wanna change phone, everything got trouble.. but this one is real trouble ok!), so i traded it in as well. Got $200 leh!!!!! not bad. So all in all, i had a value of $400 to play around with. Bought K810i (sticking to SE as much as possible, coz it’s much better than Nokia nowadays). Wah. Damn cool loh the function. I dunno if i’ll ever use all of the functions or remember them, but it’s cool to play around with it at least for the first time. hahha…

Ron showed me the Track ID software in the phone (which confirm plus guarantee will earn me another voucher coz i’ll be using that a lot). You know when u hear a song and u dunno the name and who sang it? Well, with Track ID, you just have to point the phone to the speakers and within 10-15 secs, it’ll tell u wat song and who sang it. how cool is that!!! Heh.

Now i just have to be really careful with the phone, as i try to with all the new phones i buy

Anyway, ermm…. at work now lah, but here’s some updates…. This year is full of weddings year. Attended at least 4-5 already, and at least 3 more is coming up. These 3 are esp important coz i’m the wedding planner (stress man!!!!!!) cum coordinator. Only hope i dun mess their wedding up. hahahaha…. SCARY…. Ermm.. July 13 is coming up. Waitin for that day, should be pretty fun but also a lil scary, seeing all the ‘threats’ and plans that my frens (and colleague) have for me. Sighz… Be prepared to DIE man.

What else, oh ya, gonna get free medication in 5-6 years (i know very long lah, but can wait) coz my cousin Matthew’s going to UKM to study medicine. How cute! AND i miss Faith who is currently now in China for a week. hehehe… we played a trick on her yesterday. Ron pretended to be someone else and asked her for her name and she gave it to him!!!!! Walau eh. So i grabbed the phone and told her she shd never reveal anything to strangers!!!!!

Going One Nite Stand (finally) tomorrow to see wat the ‘hype’ is about. Somore free tics, so can’t wait!!!!!!! Gotta miss Aikido. Sighz. I love it but wat to do, no choice lah. Already cancelled on the place once liao and they were nice enough to gimme the extension, so gotta go lah….

Ok. back to work. Got stuff to catch up on else i risk losing my job.

Yes. I’m going crazy with my work. May was a supra busy period, thanks to the UNSW closure. It is UNSW’s fault and yet the 3 local unis were to be the ones to pick up their s***. We had to go to their campus EVERYDAY from 2pm to 8pm to answer queries from worried students and some concerned parents about whether or not they will be able to come study here. Sighz. The most poor thing ones i feel are the students lah. Sighz. So many i talk to are so disillusioned. I feel sorry for them. But some were still a lil happy go lucky (maybe resigned to it lah) and i made frens with quite a few students who would pop in to say hi, chit chat, and tell me juicy stuff. OoOooOoo. Shall not post them here but it has all to do with the closure and stuff lah. hahhaha… Such is the benefit of looking like one of the students, they tend to be more frenly. (yes yes, i praising myself but i have all the rights to coz i always get the "are u 19" question. yes yes, dun kill me now)

Anyway, to reiterate why i’m going crazy… I now work in a space where i need to open the lock to the door for ppl to enter and exit my office. the button is located next to my right leg, which now i conveniently have trained myself to just automatically open the door with my right leg while continuing with my typing and stuff. Ok, so wat happened was, i was talking on the phone with this enquirer. Quite long lah. I use those headsets (very cool looking ones) and so when i talk on the phone i become a lil mor relaxed (or more irritated depending on the direction of the conversation). So anyway, when I said goodbye, i automatically pressed the button. Felt quite embarassed loh, hahaha, but thought it was hilarious. quickly msn’d my colleagues about this. Guess wat? a second phone call came in. This time, i told myself, NO pressing on the button. But haiyah, my reflex action for that kicked in and i opened the door again. Die man. nowadays, whenever i see anyone or hear anything approaching the door, i open it automatically. Ppl now think i’ve got oompa loompas working under my table coz i do it so naturally even. LOL. I guess that’s why the button is now falling apart coz i’ve pressed it toooo many times!!!! :-p

My body is aching today. I didn’t think it would coz i didn’t seem to be doing much yesterday but it is hurting. Sighz. The reason is coz i went for my first class in Aikido yesterday. FINALLY. after all these years of talking about wanting to do some self defense class, i finally got my butt up and did it. it was interesting lah. i really liked that class. i learnt how to fall (correctly), how to dodge a punch and how to react if someone grabs my hand and refuses to let go. After the class, i was all excited loh, eyeing on anyone who might potentially want to whack me or pull my arms or anything. Alas, no one. hahaha.. so when i went to Ron’s shop, i asked him to grab my hand (but i showed him how he shd grab lah– which of coz he commented when someone grabs me how can i instruct the attacker on how to grab me). This ron ah, never give face! I tried my counter-attack on him then he counter-counter grab me! WALAU EH. So bad loh. Luckily it’s just first lesson and i also din wanna hurt his shoulder too much (which i did the first time– so at least i succeeded ONCE)

Back egg man back egg

Anyway, wah, a long long time i have gone missing hor… i was supposed to write about about my kuching trip but now i forgotten all about, only that i had managed to buy a blow pipe with the refills and it’s very fun. hahahaha Will post the few pics i have soon lah.

Oh ya, Yoon (my korean fren) is getting married! Yeay! Means another wedding trip. hehehe… Wah, i’m going international for all my wedding invitations. How fun! I can’t wait for Silvia & Marco’s, then can go back to Italy hahaha, or even Yu’s– then can go back Belgium. LOL

It is the GREAT SINGAPORE SALE! Woohoo! Going on my ‘yearly pilgrimage’ on monday. Took a whole day off to go GSS shopping. Woohoo! Can’t wait to shop man. Monday shd be much quieter so hopefully i dun have to fight the aunties and the ah ims for the changing rooms. i’ve already had my whole shopping trip mapped out with the Must Gos and the In Case Got Time. I’ve put on 3 kg within these 2 weeks, but i think on Monday, with all that ‘exercise’ and the lack of time to eat, i surely lose weight one. I just hope i dun feel bloated that day, if not i surely cannot buy anything one. Sighz. Keeping ALL my fingers and toes crossed

Ok. I better stop now. i think this post is getting toooo long. keep it simple and short lah. maybe if i have more inspiration to write later I will.

Oh ya, forgot to tell u, if u feel irritated getting reminders from friendster about this fren that fren posting this posting that, you can change your settings one such that it will only send u certain updates. I tell u liao hor, so dun get irritated if u receive a "Ming has updated her blog AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN" coz i think the quiet period is coming liao

Stop reading too much into my blogs then asking me stupid question.
