milk & sausages

For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why?
Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage...

Women are like apples on trees: The best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid offalling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy...
So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right man to come along,
the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of thetree.

And remember...
Men are like a fine wine.
They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them
until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

nottinghillfestivalisdrivingmecrazy

i've got a music spot just down the road from my flat and it's blasting drum+bass the whole day. not that i hate it, but it's just TOO loud and just how much can i listen too?
then in the night time, some other nightspot behind my flat has music+mc blasting till 3am...
then when i look into the park below me, and i spot people walking into the corners of it and pissing = guys+girls.
the porta-loo is just by the side of the park!!!
you lazy brits!

anyway i'm hungry now.
going to get some jerk chicken....and risk smelling like BBQ by the time i get back.
hope i dont smell pee+go deaf from all that bass in the air.

spanking good

went for the final night of Madonna's concert tour in London and it sure was worth my 90quid!
didn't want to go at first cos of the price but my sister just bought the tics and whoosh, i went.
sat in the middle so we got nice views of the action, but being in stupid England there were 2 gigantic persons infront of me!!!!
She is the ultimate performer.
she sang Live.
voice is strong+never quivering......
except for one part where she thanked the crowd for supporting her and she cried.
dance acts wonderful and inbetween songs, we were not left standing bored.
instead, there were dance, skateboarding, bagpipers, drummers, trapeze acts etc.
a good first+last Madonna concert for me i guess.
thank goodness it was a good one.

eat sleep and get fat

i've been going out every single day and this has gone on for almost 3 months.
i think sometimes i'm a walking zombie.
never did recover from my trips to Paris + Amsterdam.
everyday involves me going to sleep @ 3am, waking up @ 10am....struggling to get out of the house and sight see before everything closes.
don't even feel like blogging anymore...

went to The Cross the other night, Judge Jules was spinning.
then then.....
*blank*
cant remember what i did.
think all i need is so curl up and hide under the duvet for an intensive 24hours.

then again, i'm planning to go to the Oktoberfest.
anyone keen?

london's bleak today...someone's gone

got back from amsterdam this morning and along the way, it was pouring like there was no tomorrrow. will blog about amsterdam later but for now, just wanted to say i feel bad that i wasnt around to see alvin off. wanted to actually but i went on the trip and couldnt make it back in time+the fact that i'll have to travel to manchester to do that.

it has been a better 1+year in london, cos i had alvin for me to whine to, to bunk in with whenever i went to manchester for silly trips, to drag to brighton and all over london, to go on crazy rides @ alton towers, to talk about funny stuff like stealing 'space invaders' & so much more...

oh well, just have to wait till i get myself back to spore till i can bitch about stuff to him again, and never worry about him judging me/giving me the eye.
so thank you alvin, for being a great friend + making uk much more fun for me.
all the best in job-hunting in spore!

to poof or not to poof? sadly that is not an option

if i could leave everything behind and walk away, i would.
but being human, i know i cant.
how then am i suppose to get away from this madness?
ppl say: "take it with a pinch of salt"
trust me, i did.
have been, am doing and don't think i can take all this angry outbursts anymore.
i'm simply NOT a source for someone to vent their fustrations/anger on.
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

case of the bloated yogurt pot...

i bought a small pot of marks&spencer vanilla yogurt the other day and naturally dumped it into the fridge. it was not suppose to expire till the 8th of aug, but over the few days that it had been sitting in the fridge, something happened.
it's got those typical foil seal top and so if the top starts to pop up (bloated), obviously something is wrong right? i did take it out yesterday, prodded the seal and thought "hmmm, it's not expired yet....& i'm not in the mood for yogurt. maybe tomorrow", and put it back in the fridge.

then a couple of hours ago after a dinner of yummy chicken rice, my sister bugged me to check on the bloated yogurt again. so i got it out of the fridge again, stared at the pot and said:"ok, i think it's gone bad. the foil is bloated to the point that it looks like it's about to burst."
sister then suggested that i just open it to see what it's like.
i hesitated... but she insisted again so fine, i tore open the foil.

*poooop*!

the freaking yogurt exploded into the air, onto my t-shirt, face and hair!!!!!!!
and yes, it had gone bad and was smelling all sour and horrible.
=S
stupid 49pence yogurt that expired way too early.
bleah!

help! i'm a Lovefilm.com junkie

i've just spent the last hour going throught dvd titles and clicking on those i want to rent.
welcome to the world of easy online rental!
http://lovefilm.com/ is wonderful: they have a massive collection of films and they mail them to you asap. when you're done with it, just pop it back into the pre-paid envelope provided.
so simple yah?
thus for the rest of the summer, i am officially going to be a couch potato.
this is also due to the fact that i'm shit broke and cant afford to go travelling.
boo hoo.
ah, if any of you UK readers out there are interesting in trying out lovefilm.com, drop me an email. i'll then send you a link so that you can get a free 4 weeks trial, instead of the usual 2 weeks.

London had another bout of torrential rain today -freak weather in action.
just last week Candice called me to check on the weather and i convinced her that it was boiling hot. she's getting back into london tomorrow... will have to convince her that i wasn't lying! =P
i layed in bed and snoozed away the rain, while dreaming of home.
talking about home, i've just found out that another of my friend is preparing to head home for good.
why do i feel like everyone is abandoing me alone in this forsaken city?
arghs.
just 1 more year, then i will back on the soil of sunny singapore.
but but,
i want to work here too...contradiction in progress

donations for a poor girl?

ahhhh....
i've got the Paypal Donation button up on my page. It's just below my tagboard.
hmmm, you think anyone will actually donate me some moolah so it can go into my "fly home for xmas fund?"
actually i'm doing this out of pure curiosity.
'cos in fact, Dave is going to buy me the airticket home.
*beams*
so sweet of him isnt it?

then again, maybe i can raise funds to erm, fly me back to UK from spore...
this summer has been a whole new experience of meeting a bunch of new friends and then sadly, having to see them leave for Singapore for good.
Arthur aka " mr m&a banker" has left on sunday, while on wednesday Mae the "bbc gal" will leave london too.
*sigh*
all these nice people are leaving me.
everyone asks me why i dont like London as much as the rest...
but i miss home, really!
a lot.
TONS tons tons tons!
and it's not just because Dave is back there.
my cat is back at home.
20 years of my life is back home.
all my friends are there....even though i have made good ones here too.
but i figure at the end of the day most of them will return to Singapore....
so it's just a matter of when i will get to see them.
anyway, hope no more of my friends are going to leave for good soon.
simply cos i cant drink anymore.
heh.
