ushering in the new year, 2008.

so here we are.. at the very last day of the year 2007. this year has been a pretty trying one for me (as like all the past years?) i find it really hard to look back and try to reflect on all that happened during this year. maybe i shan't, or i'd probably start crying which is not a very good start for the new year.

having said all that i suppose the only thing im glad which happened during this year were the great pals i found (u all know who u are). but of course special mention would go to my smally chums aka gf. like in the lil card u wrote, im equally as glad u came into my life and how amazing it really has been that our friendship deepened so much within such a short period of time. honestly, words will never be able to express how much u mean to me. thanks for being my pillar of support, be it at work, personal, family.. u were always there for me. *muaks* i love u.

and for the new year... i have nothing much to say. i dont make resolutions because i know i can never keep to them. so lets juz bow our heads, clasp our hands, grit our teeth and pray hard that this new year will be great for one and all.

oh and for all difficult years (starting from the time i cld think sensibly on my own) i've had i always like to do something 'painful' nearing the end of the year to remind myself that i made it through alive. so 2007 was one of these years....



Cheers to all~ lets get drunk...

sudden attack of frustration?

so its almost midnight and i had a sudden urge that i really need to drink so here i am with my nice bottle of hoe (which happens to be my last, damn itz). not sure why but the urge came with a bout of frustration? is that how alcoholics feel?

so today i planned to stay home, watch telly and to keep mum company but someone had to call me to go out. lets name this person t. so t was in orchard alone and me knowing that i was that someone t wld call juz to fill in the in between gaps in t's life, i still went ahead to meet t. rushed out and everything so we met to have a late lunch. after lunch t decided that we shld go home and i was like WHAT? so i was left speechless and we shared a cab back. a short lil trip like that burnt almost $50. it leaves me wondering sometimes y am i always the sucker/dork/idiot/dumbass? y do i subject myself to such nonsense? y cant i reject ppl nicely? juz say no? i think one of my new year's resolution wld be that.


so now its back to my lonely bot of hoe and me..

congrats to mr tan ah beng and mrs tan ah lian!

as u can see 29/12/2007 was the big day for leonard and shimin, they held their wedding banquet at pan pac. i quite enjoyed it, think its due to the company and also the couple were pretty sporting when we tried to make them drink. but wasnt too impressed with the service staff, especially the one serving our table. gosh... damn annoying. anyways frankie and i had the time of our life bitching abt her. ha



anyways i felt like a freakshow on the loose.. very uncomfortable in what i was wearin. chums and shimin disallowed me to wear jeans so i had no choice but to dress the way i did. half the time i was fidgeting, making sure the shawl was concealing my humongous beer belly. gosh.. how torturous. and so it came to the part we were tryin to make the bride drink and she had to 'strip' me... take my shawl away from me and everyone started snapping pics, paparazzis! here's one for the record.. compliments of *ahem*... tsk



had to take a picture with the bride even tho she 'stripped' me... bleh

then they wanted to go for drinks after the dinner ended and i was game but suddenly received a sms from mummy saying she was vomitting and felt giddy and all. so we juz took some pictures and i headed home. thank u chums for sendin me back home to mummy, sorry we didnt manage to go for drinks. think it wld have been fun? but there can always be another time... ? alrights, shall go off to try and attend to mummy now. its 315 and she still cant get to sleep.. sigh

its swell not having to work

so well... i've been on leave from the 14th of Dec and its gonna go on till the 2nd of Jan. haven't accomplished much these 2 wks. juz growing fat cuz 'tis the season to be fatty'.. haha. feeling lazy too which explains why i haven't been blogging as much as i used to.

its juz swell not having to work. ahhh if only such good times wld last. i mean i cld dont work but that'd mean i wun have money to spend to which is totally sucky. so anyways lemme summarise wad went on for the past 2 wks. been going out quite abit. to watch movies, for lunches and dinners, for xmas shopping (it got so bad until i was losing my appetite cuz my brains were totally f*cked thinking of wad to buy). other than all that i was spending a good part of my time boozing (of course, thats like a staple in my life) can never do without it. and how cld i do without wala's.... heh

spent xmas eve at wala's cuz the unxpected was playing there. thanks to bello's friends who 'donated' drinks to us we both got quite darn high, to the extent i was slurring and bell was wobbling ard. not a very nice sight. haha. but i had a great time nontheless. shan't elaborate much or my gf wld start her nonsense again. pls dont do the big gang-up together on me again? puhhhhleaseeeeeee...?

today we met for lunch at skinny chums place and did gift exchange there. had fun with the whole buncha old groupies. =) then we dropped by the office for smally chums to drop off her pressies to all in the office. realised almost everyone got pressies for me too and panicked, luckily chums allowed me to 'share' her pressies. sucha lifesaver as always. came home and ripped open all the pressies after dinner. its amazing how much time u take to wrap something (i hate wrapping) and how effortless it is to rip the wrapping apart in juz a matter of seconds?? and chums says i cant wrap.. hey i tried ok! i nv had to do such things myself before... bear with me alright??! anyways back to the pressies, lets only touch on those which made an impression on me.. so to mention there's only like 2. the one chums got for me, which is like 2 smurf lil piggy banks. yea cuz i ever told her i like smurfs and its almost like extinct in sg? she managed to find these 2 lil cuties in hkg and thanks for the really sweet note that came along with it. i can nv describe how glad i am to have found a friend like u. *muaks* ok then comes the other not very nice one... it came in a crappy brown wrapper that looks reused, when i tore it open this very weird smell arosed.. its a shoe freshener?! and 1 look at the packaging u know its been sitting in a deserted corner for very long. i mean dont u feel embarrassed giving away such presents? cuz i feel disgusted receiving it... if u really dont feel like giving then don't. nobody is forcing u to, like with a knife to ur throat? i know what it means when they say its the thought that counts.. i'd rather u have wrote me a short and simple note juz saying merry xmas and i'd have felt better than receiving a present like that... wad say u all???!

whats wrong with thee humankind nowadays? -_-

my newfound jealousy

darn! the weekend has come and is goin off in a jiffy. its so not fair. havent had time to do much... and so i was back at my fav hangout yday. didnt drink hoe tho, settled for kilkenny (refer back to my previous post on hoe overdose).

i think i really like shirlyn from the unxpected. dont ya all think she excudes attitude? *swoons* can never get enough of her singing albeit the bunch of malay/indian a**holes (im sorry for sounding racist but i dont see other races behaving like them) who were making a hell lotta NOISE.

anyways i texted my fellow emo elmo to tell her i like shirlyn and her reply was like 'ha i already know that. took you long enough to realise!' .............................. *speechless*



today i actually managed to get up at 9am to go to church with mummy, zachy and my bro. sis-in-law is out of town. hasn't been a great wk for me, didnt sleep well becuz of some weird incident. think when ur spirits are low, things tend to happen to u. it was quite a good sermon today, abt xmas. the pastor's quite interesting, brought in alot of present day incidents that we can relate too and also with some humour. who knows i might juz go back to church on a regular basis... and it helps that mum keeps insisting? besides i get to play with zach who drooled all over me today *tsk*. best thing when i pecked him on his cheek he went like 'wet wet, wet wet' when he's the one drooling all over! *rolls eyes* but i still love him... silly ah poo.

dedicated to my one and only crabbie...

no matter how far away u are, u know deep down inside i still love u. *muaks*

hoe overdose.

after a long long time ah ho finally decided to ask me to wala's, well how could i reject her even though i was down with bad stomach cramps? had to ask skinny chums along cuz i miss her so much. thanks for making the effort to come down after a long day at work. =) ah ho asked ah yao along cuz they bumped into each other at work but ah yao played us out, i kinda expected it la. bello and al cldnt make it too cuz they had ent with the hrcc idiots. buncha fools trying to fleece us juz cuz they're gonna help to answer the rsvns phonecalls. comp stay and free meals at our outlets. bah!


anyways back to wala's.. so ah ho and i were deciding what we were gonna drink and we decided on hoe and i looked ard and realise that they have the big 750ml bottles back! woooohooo! in all excitement i ordered 4 bots of it, being 1 for 1 we ended up with 8 bots and only 3 of us to finish it. oh gosh... when chums came at 11ish ah ho and i were only done with 5 bots. the moment we finished the 5th bot i felt sick already. met up with my fellow emo elmo cuz she was ard the area. anyways good for u that u've decided to stay off cigs but your reasoning is crap! lol. oh and i was damn sad shirlyn wasnt singing. some malay guy stood in for her cuz she's on holiday in melbourne and he had damn alot of actions while singing which ah ho totally detested. she said he looked like 'sun wu kong' incarnate? haha. so after the 3rd set we were left with 2 unopened bots which i asked the waitress what could we do about it and she was like u can take it away. which she put it in the ugliest plastic bag and i felt like a swine having to bring it out. oh wells... so the 2 bots are now with chums and she's gonna put it at her shop so we can go by and chill after work. cool..... am looking forward to that.
