Chocolates N Cheese

Ok… Very Very weird. Now, i’ve been having that hammering headache for days now. In fact, i switched from Panadol Extra, to Panadol Extra (4 tablets) and then to Anarex. Still no cure!

During lunch time, my head was beginning to hurt again, so when i found out my colleague was going to see doctor, i went with her lah. Kepo kepo, to get my meds and also to grab some fresh air and lunch lah.

Went in to see the doc (pretty young man lah) and told him of my problem. First reaction from him was to double confirm wat i’ve told him. Second reaction- scratch head. Third reaction- shake head. He said he din like the sound of my headache and went on to explain all the different headache terms and stuff. He said the hammering pain at the back of the neck is very uncommon. Then the bomb: "You may be at risk of a Young People Stroke". Thanks, doc! That really helps. He went on to say "My fren, a gal, is a survivor of the stroke. Only 20% survives this stroke" WOW, that helps a lot too!!!! U can imagine i quite shocked lah. I’ve been put on a 24 hour alert list and if anything happens between now and then, i have to rush to A&E to get my head scanned. WAH. Sounds serious right?

You know wat’s the best part? My colleagues all think he’s cuckoo. Not cuckoo as in mental, but as in dunno how to treat patients. Example: One colleague visited him coz she was sick, he said she may be pregnant. (maybe that example not too good lah, coz docs sometimes just speculate until the truth). Another example: another colleague saw him for a cut and he made it seem like she had to go for an op on that small cut on her hand!!!!! WAH.

So for now, i’ll still be enjoying myself, be it Young People Stroke or not. In fact, i shd be enjoying more. Just in case. Hehehe… Already discussed with Cindy on the guest list, party booze, party songs and my mani pedi stuff just in case there’s my funeral. :-p

Incidentally ah, today is very weird. Last night i did think about death and all. Lying in my bed at night trying to sleep while watching "Gridiron Gang" (which is damn touching, btw) and then "The inconvenient truth" (That put me to sleep eventually)… then today, the doc tells me that. Another weird thing was, i woke up this morning and suddenly i thought about a long long long lost fren of mine, David. Yes, David. I also dunno why suddenly like that. I told my self i gotta find his frenster and add him. When i logged into frenster, i had "one new fren request" and guess who it was?!?!?!?! YES. DAVID. WAH. Maybe i shd buy 4D…

Or Maybe it’s one of those "know u’re gonna die so everything seems surreal and u wanna reach out to all your frens and family and loved ones" kinda scenario. U know… like how i shd go around telling everyone I love them, just in case my stroke really happened.

If and only if lah, just in case i didn’t say this in time lah, to you, yes you, you know who you are lah, Thank You. I’ve always cherished you, always have always will. Thanks for being in my life. Thanks for being there for me, for tahan-ing my craziness, and sometimes even taking part in it. Thanks for just being you and adding life to my sometimes mundane life. LOVE U. Aiyah, u know i mean it lah. Dun deny it. And if u want to hear it for yourself, call me, PM me, watever. :-p

(Awww… enough with this sentimental bullshit. It’s time to party. TGIF!!!!!!!!!!)

Sighz… i’ve been experiencing a stupid headache since yesterday. At every 3 sec interval, i will feel pain at the back of my head, as tho someone took a hammer and hit it on my head. Had that the whole day!!!! URGH. Then, in the evening after dinner, at Shop & Save (while buying my supply of Ice Mountain–i dun boil water at home, heh–italian way) i had a very very bad tummy gastric dunno wat ache! ARGH.

Then it happened again today just before i went for lunch. ARGH. Hammer in my head hammer in my head. After food, tummy gastricy thingy pain. WHAT IS THE MATTER?!??! Wat’s worst, had the WORST possible kimchi soup for lunch, so now feeling very hungry. Luckily upstairs there’s some scholar program talk going on so there’s food. Yum Yum. Waiting for my sandwich fruit tarts to arrive. Yum Yum

Can’t wait to go home. My head and tummy is getting on my nerves!!!!!

Can’t remember wat i wanted to write liao. NVM. Food’s here. (Post tbc)

There goes my diet again. STUPID LUNCH. Had half a sandwich (damn ex!!!! but quite yummy, maybe coz i’m hungry), 2 siew mais and 2 tarts. OH NO. Thank god i din eat THAT much for lunch and luckily i resisted the mos burger dessert (actually they were out of the chocolate flavored lah, tat’s why)

Sighz. I am SO bored. The hammer finally stopped. I think renovation is done. heh. Let’s hope it stays that way. Another 45 mins to end of work. i’ve cleared the admissions mailbox. Can’t wait to go home n fall asleep. Actually, can’t wait for Friday. hahahaha… MOS MOS MOS…

Sweet is the morning when you are stirring and your beloved plays you a love song on the guitar to wake you up…

Wah. I was supposed to post this sometimes back abt Ashley’s bday… Now dunno if i can remember wat i wanted to say or not. hahaha…

Ok. Let’s start with Sat afternoon. After convincing Ashley that the photoshoot was NOT a joke, she

{….. A LONG PAUSE from this blog entry coz Aileen came to visit me at work, then Ron. Wah, today is visit "Ming at Work coz She’s Bored day"… Btw, Aileen stayed for about 2.5hours and by that time i needed to clear my remaining work and go home. hahaha. Again, I’m hping my colleagues who may be reading this won’t ‘pao-to’ =p  }

Back to the story. Spent 2 hours doing up Ashley’s hair with the egg white. Nearly made me puke each time i reach my hand into that gooey stuff. YUCKS. The smell was TERRIBLE. Luckily i still had my slight blocked nose. Eeee. Now i understand the trouble the punks have to go thru each morning to style their hair. Poor things!

Anyway, the photoshoot went pretty ok lah. By the 2nd t-shirt tho, we had to touch up on the hair coz ashley’s hair was SO long and the t-shirts were pretty small. hahaha… By the 3rd t-shirt, i gave up on her hair. Too limp! LOL. Will post pics here (as soon as i get clearance from her– she’ll kill me if this ruins her future to get married!!!! hahaha)

by the time we were done, it was around 5pm (so much for an estimated 1hour photoshoot– we took more than 4 hours!). Gobbled my breakfast and lunch and then parted ways with ashley coz she had to go prim and proper herself for the night. Called her on her way back home (only the gals that night would know the reason i called). I didn’t know it was SO tough!!!! (again, only the gals will know, or some others if i told u, or if u wanna know, ask!)

Picked up Chin2 and Sylvia at their place before heading down to No Signboard for dinner. Walau eh, the cab driver’s music nearly put me to sleep. Wat wasn’t helping was the traffic! I was soooooo tempted to just get off and walked… anything away from the midi sounding sentimental classical music! Ok. Dinner was pretty ok. I was still full with the food from the afternoon so i had very little to eat. The chilli crab was good tho. I wish i had more space in my tummy. The whole time for dinner, Chin2 was very quiet… when asked why, she said she was just wondering how to carry ashley back home later on once she has been dosed up with plenty of drinks. hahaha. Ashley sommore not afraid, whole night kacau chin2!!!!! Ppl nowadays have no fear of wat is to come!

Finally on to St James. They booked a room in Mono- the Karaoke. Fun! First bottle they opened was Johnnie Walker. Walau eh, chin2 kept replenishing the drinks! Even my MC couldn’t save me– they have no sympathy for the sick! So i thought if i can’t beat them, i’ll join them in making ashley drunk. i think my tummy was mostly full of green tea that night. hahaha… Then had Hennesy. Actually it is quite nice. not like wat i’d imagine it to be. i think they improved on the taste or something. (i’m no alcohol connoseur or however u spell it). hmm… by then quite high (no dinner in tummy remember!). Went out for a walk with ashley and gavin and got another drink coz gavin thought his frens were inside tiger live, so we had to pay for entrance, sekali they were outside, so we just had vodka orange loh.

by the time we got back to the room, with all the walking and drinking and *#&^%&^(#$ we were quite high. Ashley was drunk. hahaha.. SHE WAS DRUNK. So funny. She slept at the top of the sofa and then rolled to the floor. She had peanuts and ice thrown all over her (Mono staff must be cursing!) and she was violently sitting on everyone.

BREAK: I forgot when some sleazy drunk guy came in and tried molesting gavin, but that guy was disgusting! got the Mono staff to throw him out. YUCKS.

Went over to (can’t remember the name now- short term memory– Chin2 says it starts with C… She thinks it’s Charlotte. heh. so cute lah this ketua pengawas) to dance, actually more like see how ashley acted. hahaha. she kept toppling over. Finally ended the night when we couldn’t take it anymore! It was really realy fun lah. I still dun enjoy st james but the company was fantastic. Thumbs up to Chin2 the gal who loses her bearing on the roads but not her bearing for fun!

U know wat! The next day, Ashley msgd us. So hilarious. She had gone off straight to bed (too drunk to care) and the next morning, she wanted to change, she took off her top and all the peanuts fell onto the floor! HAHAHA. She asked who the culprit was, and Sylvia admitted to it. Chin2 sillyly admitted that she din throw the peanuts but the ice. DAMN! She could’ve gotten away with it coz Ashley din remember the ice!!!!! Hahaha….

Another club… FAT CLUB. yes. I think i’m about to join the "Fat Fighter’s Club" (Watch Little Britain and u’ll know wat i’m talking about). URGH. Everyday it’s snack snack snack in the office. Never snacked so much in my entire working life. I’m on the brink of becoming fatter than i already am. HOW CAN!?!?!?! Already i’m sitted the whole day. DIE. Now i’m not only gonna get a fat ass, but a fat everything! ARGH. Must….Resist….Temptation!!!!!!!

Club. MOS. Audrey. Enough said.

Jayne Fan Club:: One last thing that happened yesterday that i just HAD to mention.

Background: Rawn and my littlest (actually youngest coz she’s not the smallest in size) cousin Jayne (9 years old) have this love hate relationship going on. Jayne loves to hate Rawn. hahaha. He always disturbs her but they’re like buddies lah. It’s amazing sometimes to watch them coz he’s so huge and she’s so tinyly big. Jayne has this amazing ability to be funny even when she doesn’t try too hard

Ok anyway, last week, Faith (Jayne’s 2nd elder sis, 11 years old) needed to do a t-shirt design for her school’s competition and sought help from everyone. They were thinking of what to draw and we were just throwing out ideas and all. I suggested a symbolic animal (yea yea, boring i know…) and they said draw a monkey. Jayne said, draw a monkey and put rawn’s face on it coz he acts like one. hahha. Then Rawn retaliated and said, it’s easier to draw Jayne- just draw a circle. HAHAHA. Jayne was like stumped!

Yesterday, i was talking to Jayne on msn and she was using the Handwriting function. She drew a circle and asked me, is this wat rawn said looked like her. I couldn’t stop laughing. This gal can surely laugh at herself! It’s damn funny. I printed it out and i’m gonna show it to my family.

As you can tell, i’m totally in love with Jayne. hahaha. Yes, she’s my cousin and all, but i think she’s such a smart and humorous kid. I hope she grows up to be a comedian (or in Rawn’s words, like Selina; or i think like Margaret Cho. hahaha… All the sizes fit!)

OK. Usually don’t share this (coz it’s a well known fact that i’m not the most demure gal on earth) but I think POOR RAWN. Hahaha… Yesterday was so damn funny that as I am typing this now i am laughing so hard to myself that i think the ppl looking into my office (i’m working in a fish tank– NOT at Geylang!!!!!!!!! At SMU also got fish tank– the most irritating place to work in coz got irritatingly stupid ppl– ok back to the story)..

Anyway, i dunno how it started lah.. but he was standing behind me while i was on my lappy on the bed (i think he came in to grab something) and he decided to creep up on me. Quick reflex action from me and i kicked his face! Ahahahaha!!!!!! DAMN FUNNY. But serves him right lah. hahahaha… OK tat wasn’t the end… later in the night, dunno wat happened lah, i accidentally poked his eyes with my finger. Wah, that has got to hurt even more than the kick (at least the kick he will only get pimples!). Hahaha.. Poor darling… dunno vision from then on deprove or not.. hahaha.. If he starts looking at ugly gals, then i’ll know…

Anyway, spent these two nights watching RENTED DVDs. Sighz. The good part is I got to catch some pretty good TV shows. Cannot explain wat this is about on the net lah, but i think many of my singaporean frens may know wat i’m talking about. So managed to catch America’s Next Top Model, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Amazing Race, ermm… can’t remember anything else… oh ya, rented "A night at the museum"- damn funny. The first show i haven’t fallen asleep watching in a long long while. It’s not that the other shows are bad, they just din have the power to hold my attention and make me stay awake. Protege seemed like a good show, but i fell asleep on that. hahaha… now considering renting DVDs from Hollywood clicks to tide me over for the time being.

Work is getting on my nerves at times. Sighz. bitch bitch bitch time. Ppl are calling non-stop. Mainly from very kancheong ppl who thinks that after the closing date, SMU decides to dump all their records into the bin and not follow up. I’ve got parents calling for their kids to find out where and when the interviews will be (some even following these kids to the interview! Come on, they’re old enough!!!!!!!!!!)… and thn recently, been getting parents calling up every possible numbers in SMU because they couldn’t get thru our 5 lines. Come on lah, for every call, there is another 3-4 more on the call waiting. Of coz we can’t answer your call right! Walau eh. Today i used the headset again so that i can answer the calls when i’m typing important stuff like this blog. LOL. Multi tasker mah (my colleague who may read this, keep it to yourself. hahaha). But each time the phone rings and i wanna place the headset properly into my ear, they stop ringing when i’m done placing it! ARGH. These ppl will be the death of me!

But working here not bad lah. Pantry is always full of snacks and food, shops around SMU selling food. Sighz… I’m gonna grow fat. The only form of exercise i get while working here is the constant run to the toilet. hahaha… sometimes sitting here, i forget i need the toilet until someone reminds me by exiting the door, then i suddenly remembered that i need to pee badly and make the rush for the toilet. SIghz. bad for health i know, wat to do. Ok, stop being disgusting now

Read some random ppl’s blog today. Lately have this habit of being voyeuristic in terms of reading other ppl’s blogs. somehow knowing something about someone else’s life can be quite interesting sometimes… eventho u’ve never met the person… u start to imagine how their life is, who they are in real life, and wat their frens might say, blah blah blah, all thru their blogs. hahaha… oh no! i think i’m going insane.

Tonite i better start working on the rest of the Keep It Like A Secret stuff or it’ll drag on even longer. Sighz. BETTER loh. Also will start posting Ashley’s pic soon with her hair (that took 2 hours to style and fell flat after the first 2 change of clothes). That was fun, sticking your hand into the gooey egg white (nearly puked), putting it on your fren’s head and blow drying it to keep the hair standing.

Oh ya. Will post about that and about Ashley’s bday party tomorrow lah. I’m left with 20 mins and i just realised suddenly hace 10 emails to answer. No swet lah, chicken feet.

Hopefully i’ll get to eat my subway today. Yum yum. And i’ll try to be gentler to Rawn today. HAHAHA… I dun think i wanna end up with a guy that is blind and full of pimples on his face.

This past week has been crazy. I’ve been sick. YUCKS. Forgotten how it’s like to be that sick. Started with a sore throat that i thought was just coz i had KFC the night before. Then was slightly feverish, so took MC (also good lah, relax a lil) and slept almost the whole day. The sore throat seem to grow from a small ping pong ball to a huge basketball and i found it really painful to talk (and the world was peaceful for a while). then now it ended with flu and cough! ARGH. The cough is very very irritating!!!!!!! I hope it goes away soon. I missed out on going out to club coz of the bloody cough. Sighz. Can’t wait for Sat.

Anyway, wat’s with parents nowadays. What’s with kids also! HmpH! They either can’t read or refuse to do so. I think this job i’m in has exposed me to the really ugly side of Singaporeans. The stupid and ugly side. Singaporeans are brought up with the "I can get things my way by complaining" mentality, which is bloody bad!!! How can we expect the young to grow up into courteous and nice ppl when their parents are bloody idiots with a bad attitude!!!!!!!! Yet, there are a handful of really really sweet ppl when u least expect it. Shall stop here. Dun wanna lose my job by going on.

Anyway, looking at the bright side of things… met up with Roger and his new SPG (hahaha.. sorry, Roger) on Sunday and went to the pasar malam in Bedok. The guys got into a little friendly competition over the air gun thingy.. u noe the one where they shoot the duck and if it falls u get the prize that u shot???? In the end, guess wat? Roger won a remote control helicopter! WAH. Amazing. Now ron’s pissed coz that’s yet another thing the British has won over the Singaporean. Hahahaha

Am really excited over the new designs that KILAS has produced. Really looking forward to putting it up on the internet and pushing for sales to go thru. keeping all fingers and toes crossed. Keep a watch on this space ok!

Hmm… wat else ah… yesterday was a pretty good day. Watched the movie "300". really really enjoyed it. Besides the fact that the Spartans were all soooooo well built and only wore their underwears (hahah, tat’s not why i enjoyed the show lah, but it’s a plus point), but the way they filmed and produced the show, and their fight scenes were sooooo good! OoOOoOoo….

Ok. Going off now. have to get back to work and back to chtting on the webmsn (which is super sucky!!!) need to figure out a way to get my real msn working again. GRRRRRR
