Over-indulgence almost always leads to self-pity, which leads to self destruction..

Late thu nite/early fri morn, I was talking to E online, and that was roughly abt then that I made up my mind abt sth. E, thks for listening hahaha.. In return, I won't post ur comments abt gossip girl!

Anw, start of the new week.. It's december! Last month of the year, time flies......


Last nite, I dreamt that I was walking home drearily and on the way, there was much sludge and mud and my progress was impeded by them. Then a saviour appeared, he supported me, cleaned up the sludge and carried me past the whole dirt track. And although I was tired and my legs were numb and I wanted to give up, he was there for me and he carried me through.

And when I woke up, I thought to myself, that's what I need. Just someone to support me through my hardest times.. And then I think to myself, I think I already have it maybe? Someone who is just there for me.. So I guess what I want to say is thanks my dears, sorry for all the trouble and thanks for carrying me through! :D

"She just wanted me to think that so I'd back off"
"Dare I ask what you're going to do?"
"Nothing. I said they'd either (do A) or (do B). They didn't (do A)."
"And you're ok with that?"
"It is what it is."

The closing scene of the latest episode of House. Somehow the scene gets to me..

this is supposed to be a short week but it already feels very long..
just been stuck in meeting after meeting- 1 whole monday aftnn in my boss' room, i really almost fell asleep. and this aftnn's meeting too oh gosh. n with colleagues on leave, i'm like scrambling to cover for them. can't even spend enough time in body shop to determine what i want to buy with the 40% discount offered to us! grrrrrr!

then on top of that, i had like really weird dreams. like bizarre! i dreamt of crocodiles! granted, i read monsieur crocodile a beaucoup faim, a kid's storybook in french abt mr. crocodile who was very hungry. but that was like, over a month ago!
so anw in my dream, i was just a spectator. and i watched the crocodile chase after little kids and then get this, farm chickens and ducks. I effing dreamt of an effing crocodile chase after effing farm animals! WTF!!!! who in the world gets dreams like this?! seriously WTF??!!

and so today i wanted to go to the gym cos i missed my regular session last nite.. n i finally finished work at 730pm n i was so ready to head to the gym. i packed my clothes, my shower stuffs, my shoes...... n realised i forgot to bring socks.

SOCKS!!!!!


so i went home feeling extremely peeved! bahhhhh!!!
i don't care what's happening tmr or fri or the long weekend, i just want this week to be over. and actually i'm not say super looking forward to next week or sth.. in fact i think i'm beginning to feel damn lousy even with the dec hols coming up.. arghhhhh.




but nonetheless, i wish i had these kinds of concerts while i was in schoool..



Time came a creeping
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes on
Time only can lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night

current addiction-
(and stop comparing her to lady gaga)




and then i realised, dancing is my remedy..


No more poison killin' my emotion
I will not be frozen
Dancin' is my remedy, remedy
Stop, stop prayin' cause I'm not, not playin'
I'm not frozen, dancin' is my remedy, remedy
Move while you're watching me dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy
Move while you're watching me dance with the enemy
Here is my remedy

Micky Green - Oh!

thoroughly exhausted man.. been meeting ppl everyday and i really feel v tired! sure sign that i'm getting old haha.. been sleeping only abt 5 hrs per day or less (v little for me), i can't continue like that for much longer lol...

anyway.. went mambo last nite for the 1st time in a looooooooong time. rather impromptu decision considering i was all set to go home after dinner haha.. and man, it's really nt the place for me anymore unless i get reeeeaaallllyyyy high or if the company i'm going with is reeeeeaaalllyyy good. the guys there, dunoe are they high at 12am or what, or maybe they are just young and daring and rowdy, they are just making wrong moves all the time. sheeesh.


anyway. today's song of the day is an old song from when i was on exchange: Micky Green's "Oh". love the whole feel of the song.

apparently some of my frens saw / remembered Mr M at the halloween party? lol.. and they said he's quite cute? yeah?
so far it's 3 out of 3 hahaha...


oh yes, i weighed myself in the gym today, and i finally, FINALLY see my weight come down!!
it's like, i've been going to the gym diligently for 9mths odd, but i've never seen my weight drop, it always hovered ard this certain weight.. my gfs consoled me saying it's bcos i've gain muscle weight and well, muscles r heavier than fats rite? but today, it dropped by over 2kg! wooohoooooo hahaha! i think it's not that i only lost water weight cos previously, even if i ran for 1 hr n go to the steam room after, the water weight i lost was negligible (<0.5kg) haha!

which kind of makes me wonder if it's bcos the machine has been recalibrated or sth? lol...

think i never did get around to mention this.. but last nite, i just ended the 4-yr relationship with my trusty, battle-hardened handphone. i am rather sad actually. the phone did went through lots of things and been to lots of places with me haha..

in a way, it's been a long time coming..
first, the battery- it has always been a bit weak after yr 3, but in its last few months, i began to have to charge it almost everyday..
2nd, it began to shut down for no reason more frequently
3rd, the metal plating covering the no. "6" dropped off
4th, the metal plating covering the no. "4" dropped off
5th, the metal plating covering the no. "1" dropped off
6th, i started getting "black out moments" halfway thru talking on the phone

and finally, at abt 9pm last nite, it leaped off my table while i was charging it, and it broke off and it was beyond salvation.. the entire back battery cover came off loose.. i mean, i can still use it if i use like, a rubber band to tie it tight tgr, but hey... i love my phone but tt's really the limit..

so long, farewell my beloved phone..

i realised i don even rem what model it is called haha.. i think it's the E730 lol..


ok so now i am using the LG-GM730.. it's 3G and touch screen and super foreign for me after my 4yo samsung.. it's free, tt's y i'm using it for now till i find something else i want.. yesterday i could only sms the 1 person who happened to text me when i switched to the new phone cos i dunoe how to import my contacts.. and as i tried to sms, i ended up calling him by mistake instead! argh i'm a tech dinosaur!

in the end, i used a rubber band to patch up my old phone tgr, and i blue toothed all my contacts over. thankfully it worked but i couldn't find a way to export all my old funny quirky memorable smses over to the new phone still.. anyone has any idea??

today i was listening to suzanne vega on my mp3 player.


It won't do... to dream of caramel
To think of cinnamon
And long for you

It won't do... to stir a deep desire
To fan a hidden fire
That can never burn true

I know your name, I know your skin
I know the way these things begin

But I don't know....
How I would live with myself
What I'd forgive of myself
If you don't go

So goodbye... sweet appetite
No single bite, could satisfy

I know your name, I know your skin
I know the way these things begin

But I don't know...
What I would give of myself
How I would live with myself
If you don't go


It won't do......
To dream of caramel
To think of cinnamon
And long for you


a pretty good song from the OST of Closer..

halloween party last nite was great... the spirit was awesome, there were really lots of crazy ppl with crazy costumes around.. in fact if u didn't dress up, that'll be odd.. some costumes my frens were in included a bruised minnie mouse, bloody policewoman, vain samurai, jedi, shrek, ghostbuster, cheerleader, bloodied student, blah blah.. it was quite funny actually.. there were hooter boys, a toilet bowl, snow white, plenty of various japanese characters.. was fun la.

after the party, we went to the same temple st macd's again.. this time, we weren't the only post party goers there, the place was actually full.. so we just hanged around n talked n laughed and we finally made our way home at abt 7am. it was fun, but very tiring and very intense. hahaha..

hier, dans le biblothèque, je suis encore tombée sur lui quand je suis retournée un roman. il m'a demandé qui est mon nouveau professeur, et puis il m'a dit que sa classe a seulement 2 étudiants et il m'a demandé si je voudrais joindre sa classe. je lui ai dit que j'aime bien mes comrades de classe et je ne veux vraiment pas descendre 2 niveaux. il m'a dit qu'il comprend et c'est tant pis parce qu'il aimerait bien de me enseigner.

et pendant la conversation, il a pincé mon joue, il a touché mon menton il a met son bras autour de mon épaule.. comme il est mon petit. il se sent très bien.. mes comrades me disent qu'il m'aime bien mais je ne suis pas sûr.. comment ils sauraient?

ce serait très bien si c'est vrai qu'il m'aime bien, parce que je l'aime bien aussi.. et ce résoudra mon grand problème avec quelqu'un que je ne peux pas aimer..

et lui, l'homme que je ne peux pas aimer... c'est très compliqué entre nous maintenant.. je ne sais pas qu'est-ce que passera pour nous, je sais seulement que ce sera très compliqué et très très difficile..
