As i’m told

had my four pillars of destiny (a.k.a ‘ba zi’ or 八字) read yesterday. well, there’s nothing much to divulge about; i’ll tell you if i want to because i’m sure a couple of my friends already know quite a bit.

anyways, just like any other readings, there are goods & bads. and that is where i start practicing selective believing. of course, i’m not saying that i’ll ignore all the negative parts. taking it as a heed of advice or a way to improve myself, i’m sure i can add one more stroke to all the –s and make them all +s.

don’t worry, my life is still good. and i’ll make sure it can only get better. in any case, nobody can know what will happen in the future; even if the predicted does come true, it’s all already fated, isn’t it? because everything happens for a reason, let them all happen for a good cause!

on another note, i kinda got busy at work towards the end of the day. with slightly more than a week more of service at the company, i suddenly had a dozen of to-dos added to my initially EMPTY list. well, i’m not whining because trust me, i really like having things to do. but now the trouble is: which and whose task should i complete first? should i go by first-come-first-serve basis or bitter-first-sweet-later manner? *laughs*

Root of all evil

i’m starting to agree with daddy & mummy’s saying of me being overly calculative. in monetary terms, that is. seriously, there are so many things i can’t seem to stop worrying about..

i have been:

  • searching for part-time jobs, intending to work my ass off all the free days i have on my schedule when school commences,
  • surviving on chocolate diets and budget lunches for days since a week ago to save that little few dollars & fats,
  • sourcing forums, ebay and other sites for cheap deals on 2nd-hand textbooks for the four modules i’m going to take,
  • rejecting all movie dates, even for the titles i really do want to watch,

BUT i won’t deny i still splurged a little on clothes & shopping; it’s something i already am controlling, just not as much. hahaha..

i don’t see anything wrong with doing things the way i did, thus i can’t understand why daddy & mummy always get so fed-up and start exchanging the “there-your-daughter-goes-again” look everytime we come to the topic of earning & spending money. somehow, i just wanted to feel richer but i always end up finding myself poorer than ever. *sigh* thinking back, probably i really am overdoing it. HMMM..

anyways, congrats to dancing partner for getting the green light from the traffic police! (:

Education

i’m so impressed. i took my 5-year old darling to the toilet today and after she was done with her stuffs, she actually started washing her hands in the above way (or even more than just that 6 steps). so adorable! she was trying to recall each and every step she was taught in school, and she even recited the steps to me so that i could learn too. with that, think thrice before you teach a kid something you’re unsure of because i think, they really learn..

rights, if you’ve noticed, i changed my current media again! right now, it’s playing this pretty boy’s song! i really love his voice, unique with a style of his own. been waiting for the songs and his album to be out and yup, today is the day i own all of them! *grins*

oh yes, and i almost forgot, i haven’t wished my daddy, “happy fathers’ day!“. oops.

Private sales

had a date with the clique, minus ah chu again, early Saturday morning. credits to zz, we had the VIP tickets to enter Fossil Private Sales at 10am. the public could only enter after 12pm. unexpectedly, we had to queue for quite awhile even though we reached damn early (like 9.45am?). in any case, everyone of us bought something. a watch each for us girls and a lot more each for the guys. now you know.. they are richer.

thinking about it, i’d say this is the first watch i’ve ever bought. in fact, it’s the first i’ve even owned. well, that’s if you disregard the Baby-Gs and kiddish market-bought watches i had when i was in primary school. anyways, (although i think everyone who knows me already knows this) i’ve a confession to make: i can’t read analog watches! but (i said BUT), i’m learning right now; and i’m doing a good job! *smiles proudly*

Friday the 13th

honestly, i didn’t realise that last Friday was Friday the 13th until last night. i guess that was because nothing really unlucky happened to me hence it was just like any other normal day. *laughs* worked for half a day before i rushed down to SIM (yes, the school i’m still trying hard to love) for my BBMKT enrolment talk.

seriously, it was DAMN boring. but i’m really really glad that i had thea with me! cannot imagine having to hide in one corner of the LT alone.. anyways, our class is pretty big. probably because i’m not used to treating a whole lecture group (of roughly 150 peeps) as a CLASS. i wonder how long it’s going to take us to know each and every one of our classmates..

well, the talk ended at about 4pm (scheduled to be 5pm) because everyone was feeling so restless and there were a couple of them already leaving the LT for good. traveled to town after that.

next half of Friday the 13th..

The palate

sometimes, when you start appreciating the silence around you, you’ll realise that the repertoire everyday is pretty much the same. there’s this piece of beautiful music – which i shall name it “The Office Melody” – always playing in the air. and i, too, play a part in this band, contributing to the main melody of keyboard-tapping and mouse-clicking like every other member. at certain parts of the movement, supporting melodies of paper-flipping, machines-moving, phone-ringing, chair-screeching and foot-stomping are also heard. minus voices of communication, it’s quite a relief that loud-snoring are not composed into the scores..

freako! say, i’m just too bored. anyways, it’s been a terrible day. i couldn’t eat properly due to the scratch on the hard palate in my mouth. (refer to the part marked X above) i was eating dried mangoes last night and it kinda scraped off a small piece of my skin. so yea, i can’t bite with my front tooth because it hurts when food comes in contact with the open wound. and the same goes for drinking water as well. *cries* i reckon it will be another 2 days or 3 before i can stop frowning each time my tongue touch the palate.. ):

Names

all thanks to xumige, we went a little high over TALKING on msn. just imagine a window of sound clips – pressing F2, blabber to the mic, click Play, and repeat the process. hahaha. and then we suggested downloading Skype again where the 3 of us chatted for over an hour.. we could have a clique conference call but wushuyi wasn’t online, pzz couldn’t find his mic and ah chu didn’t want to download it! ):

well well. but it really reminds me of the days 2-3 years ago when everyone was so INTO Skype. btw, i still have like almost a few dozens of contacts on my list but none of them is online anymore. *laughs* anyways, regarding the title, click to read on..

a little whine about names..

A mobile love story

it’s the 3rd consecutive stay-home weekend! i’d say i’m kinda liking it though.. spent the whole of yesterday on mobtv as it is streaming the first 10 episodes of A Mobile Love Story free and i think it’s like one of the coolest interface i’ve seen on the site. well, being a drama addict like me, i found the next 11 episodes on a CCTV website! so yups, i completed the show today.

anyways, if you’re wondering what show it is, you can take a look here. it’s a Singapore-China collaboration starring Christopher Lee, Yvonne Lim and Wallace Huo. well, the main actress is Han Xue but i doubt you’ll know who she is lah.. heh. hmm, i wouldn’t say it’s a VERY nice show but quite worth catching if you really have nothing to do – like me. *laughs*

and yes, it’s 5-5 today! have you eaten your dumpling? happy dragon boat festival! (:

It’s nearing

enrolment in a week’s time, termination in 3 weeks’ time, commencement in a month’s time; am i looking forward? you bet! well, you see.. no matter how much i dread stepping into SIM, i really missed campus life so much that i can’t wait to start school.. but sadly, it’s going to mark the end of awaiting money-rolling-in pay days and spending chasing-serial-dramas weekends. (because i suppose i should have homework/revisions to do during weekends BUT you never know, i can always find time for that addictive hobby of mine! *grins*)

and hopefully by then, i can secure myself a good-paying part time job. you ask why? i’m a big girl now! and big girls shouldn’t be sitting about, sticking out hands, open their mouths, and wait for papa mama to feed them, should they? *LOL* but well, for that issue, i’ll be keeping my fingers crossed.. note the word: hopefully. *laughs*

after all, it still depends on how packed my schedule is going to be, how much time i can afford to work, and most importantly, will there even be a place that – i don’t mind working at – will hire me. imagine me doing the exact same actions i mentioned in the above paragraph! guess i’ll just become the contradicting laughing stock of everyone. tsktsk.. in any case, everything is still an enormous question mark right now. till then, we shall see how! (:
