Here is your horoscope
for Monday, July 25:
Your partner will assume the number one slot on your top ten list now. While they'll be ecstatic at the attention, the truth is that you'll love lavishing it on them almost as much.
WHO WANTS MY ATTENTION???
NOT WHEN i'm a GRUMPY old FART
Lao Langs @ the Esplanade (or as dajie calls it, the Esplanut) last night.
background:
- made up of 3 girls 5 guys
- Acapella group
- used to be from KR Hall
opinion:
- melodies not tight enough - much zao sia
- harmonies very off at certain points
- very bad Chinese pronunciation. then again, very bad English pronunciation too. I dunno where they stand
- could do with more than one person doing majority of percussion beats - must be really tiring
- could do with a LOT more bass, to give it a more tingly and warm feeling
- best song = final song = rainbow connection = but spoilt by the ending note where the harmony was not brought out
- women's voices were not strong enough
- ZERO mic control. Like my companion said, everytime someone came to the front to sing solo, they seemed to always back towards their group, seemingly shy of the attention. In addition to this, the big group didn't seem to realise that they were drowning out every solo singer by singing so loudly into their mics. I believe by right harmony shouldn't be louder than melody, yes?
In other news:
- I've slept a grand total of one hour this morning. Yes, only one freaking hour. see how i survive.
- I'm damn grumpy because of that
- CORS bidding is not going well - HOW TO BID FOR 4 MODULES WITH 763 POINTS????
- WTF? I've FINISHED all 14 FOUNDATION MODULES. what is WRONG with you ppl. WHY AREN'T YOU ALLOWING ME TO BID FOR BSP3001???
- blinkmummy's tv date was my jjc choir tee'cher.
I AM VERY GRUMPY TODAY.
DO NOT CROSS MY PATH IF NOT I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREDS.
And yes, the very bad grammar and English in this entry is cos of my sleepiness.

Who do I seem to you?
Who do I seem to me?
My mother thinks I'm a single cheery little girl who doesn't let the world get her down often.
My father thinks I'm his little princess still, and up to recent years, held my hand when I crossed the road with him,
My brother probably thinks I'm some childish moron who likes to tail him and emulate him. And sponge off him.
Me?
I just think I'm a person who likes fun alot. I like fun because it provides me reprieve from this world. Every single day. Just looking at people's faces, etched with frowns and hatred - that alone can get me down.
That's why I love my family and friends. Because they are the people who define me, by allowing me to have my imaginary shelter from the world.
You hit my loved ones, you hit me.
Don't you forget that.
The fine line between love and hate never ceases to amaze me.
Have you loved a person, then hated him because he was gone?
Or have you hated a person's behaviour, only realise you loved her?
For me, the biggest thing I've lost that I can't get back is innocence.
These past few weeks, I've found it almost impossible to sleep on the bus on my way to work. With eyes wide open, my mind remains shut throughout most of the journey, until the bus I'm on passes SGH, just before it reaches Outram MRT station.
At the very front of this side of SGH resides the HSA Centre for Forensic Medicine, the same building which houses the SGH morgue.
The same place Alf was in 3 months, 1 week and 2 days ago.
Every morning without fail, this building jolts me awake.
There are always people there - policemen, medical personnel, people at the counter signing papers, people leaning over railings, sometimes with their heads buried in their hands.
Staff aside, the people are always in the solemn colours of mourning.
Even from across the road, in the relatively safe confines of my boxed-up moving bus, I can feel the air of hopelessness, and the surrender of these people, permeating my surroundings.
It makes me sick, to be honest.
I don't know how his family is anymore. I've stopped emailing his sister. I don't know how they are.
I didn't choose to be sensitive to these things.
Maybe I am as they say, too much time and living in too much luxury, so you care about other people's lives.
What would I be if I numbed myself to pain?
Would I be numb to joy as well?
I miss you making fun of me. I miss training with you.
Quite basically, my friend, the fond memories survive.
I can't imagine how the rest feel.
Wherever you are, I hope you can only feel happiness, no pain =)
And hopefully, u're swooshing somewhere down the road on your stylo-mylo bike =)
Sting - Fragile
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are
Lest we forgot how fragile we are =)

Was it about The Wine Company or the wine and the company?
(Shut up about me and drinking already - I told you I talk about drinking alot, but I don't find someone to drink with me everytime I mention alcohol and it's lonely drinking alone so it's mostly air so shutup =p)
So it was work, dinner @ BordersBistro (where I learnt what the hell speed really was - sha, you're so not speeding lor =x) where I learnt that the pizza should be SHARED between two people and not tackled alone, then it was off to Dempsey Road.
Eh, at the risk of sounding damn suaku, I've never been in there lor. I swear prior to last night, I didn't know there was anything in there except Samy's Curry and even then I'd never been there =x
To be honest, it was a little awkward at the beginning. Daniel to my left, blinkymummy opposite him, and Moby Beng opposite me - who to talk to leh? All also don't really know. =x But it got better as the wine started warming me up and I started talking alot. Hell lot. And a little too loudly too I think, but I hope hope hope that it's just the wine amplifying me in my head ok? =x
The only things I really remember (memory obstructed by lack of O 2 from all that laughing):
- Blinkymummy getting suaned - the whole night
- Blinkymummy's band, with Daniel roped in, and something about school uniforms for their first gig. And me volunteering my SCGS uniform for Daniel =x buahaha, what's with all that lending my uniform for guys to cross dress man...
- Blinkymummy's bugging the stuff to let her share the potato chips she bought with us
- Kengmeng msging me about round 2 of attacks on London, which stunned people for a moment but I guess at that time wine was more important =)
- My introduction to Riesling, courtesy of Injenue. He's right - It's ambrosia compared to the normal wines, and this is supposedly not as good as the previous ones he's tried. I guess my liking it has to do with me being a girl and liking sweeter wines =p
- The toilet cubicles have no locks. either that or I was too stupid to find. Someone tell me which one's true =x
- The lack of drinking kakis who are in my social circle and live in the West Period.
And this morning I stumbled out of bed with my head going in rounds. hehe.
So thanks for the fun last night:
(taken from Injenue's blog cos I didn't know half the ppl there)
daniel, faith me, gerald, joel, gimmoh, kat, gladys, shawn, daniel, george, clavion, adrian, moby, brinkymummy

Numbers, because I'm bored on a Fri morning

From here: (thanks to Sinchang)
You are in a state of constant expectation and want interesting and exciting things to happen to you. But in fact, you are a 'Walter Mitty' at times - a dreamer - over-imaginative and often given to fantasy or day-dreaming. There is nothing wrong in 'dreaming' - how boring life would be if one just followed the doctrines of everyday life - but one must not continue leading a life of continuous fantasy. You need to face reality in spite of all its possible shortcomings. (sobs...But I don't wanna come crashing down to earth! =( )
Always anxious to accept the role of the leader (not true leh. I'd rather be follower, but sometimes lanlan have to be leader), as indeed you often work well with people - but try to stay out of the limelight. You'd like a life of ease with no one to rock the boat and someone who understands you is so important in your life.
There are times of everyone's life when 'compromise' is the name of the game and this is the time, so you have no alternative but to forgo some pleasures for the time being. You are capable of achieving satisfaction through physical activity. (what physical activity??? =x)
Your willpower and stamina are in danger of being overwhelmed by excessive stress. Your resilience and tenacity have become weakened. (see la, too lazy to do sports la, fayeth. This is what you get for being lazy - you lose tenacity) You are feeling overtaxed, worn out and getting nowhere: but you continue to stand your ground. You feel that this unfavourable situation is an encumbrance which you could well do without and you find yourself unable to make the necessary decisions at this particular moment in time to change anything.
Trying to cope with conditions which you think are beyond your capabilities has led to considerable anxiety and stress. You now feel that you are not capable of coping with this situation and indeed any situation which could arise from what you consider to be your personal inadequacy. (yar lor. How to file GST? how to E-file GST? Everything also dunno. gahmen want me to file GST end of this month, but they only send me for course next month =( )

Please remember to pee in the morning, no matter how sleepy/tired you are, because when you're facing a 1.5hr bus ride ahead, you don't want to be doing it on a full bladder.
In other news: The bus uncle captain decided to be really charitable today, and stop for every single person who flagged for the bus, even though the bus was crammed beyond crammed and one could kill with a stink bomb in there. I'll bet he sensed my full bladder and decided to prolong my journey today. !@O#&!()#&!#^!)#&!()@&
And then first thing in the morning, my boss asks me to cash a cheque and bring it to the money changer's. Nothing difficult right?
Not when you really really need to pee but have to spend the next 15min doing what your boss tells you. I mean, I LIKE MY BOSS. it's just this morning. When I'm sleepy. And really need to pee. Then I get really grumpy.
I have un-antisocialised myself!
My friends will know - I seldom accede to requests to meet up on the same day. Being the dua pai person that I am, I require prior appointments made (actually no, I'm just not a very spontaneous person and I like to have my day go according to plan.) at least a full day in advance. Very anal right?
But back to the topic. Yes, I have un-antisocialised myself. As a result of Saturday's conference, I have developed a new resolve to be social. (heaven knows how long this'll last =x)
And so, I agreed a lunchtime invitation to dinner with Injenue, Donaq, Kingmeng and purportedly, Hejin
At the last minute, I was told Hejin couldn't make it. #!*#)#*!@()#! I agreed to go because I was afraid a fifteen-year old vs 3 mid-twenties guys is just unsafe for her. hahaha. *ahem* Chaperone, you see.
Anyway, met the guys at PS for Macs dinner. Where blinkymummy and her friend Huilong joined us, then proceeded to play with their Happy Meal Toys *cue sweatdrop*
Very cute leh these two. Normal band: 2 guitarists, 1 drummer. Their "band": 2 drummers, 1 guitarist. *cue sweatdrop again*
(sidenote: Also saw Apple Lim there - she of verypoisonouslady.blogspot.com fame, and was born exactly 2 years before me, to the date)
Yes, so while BM and Huilong went off for their drum class, the rest of us (the guys + me + IceBreeze) went to Kbox.
You see, the past times I've been to kbox have been with Shalene or Fiona or my juniors. All of whom I'm significantly more comfortable zao siaing with and acting like a freaking groupie with. Last night, I suppressed all urges to sing normal sappy songs because I was singing with a bunch of ah bengs. HEH.
On previous occasions, when going to the loo (what's with all the pee things today), I'd walk past rooms with what I presume are ah bengs inside singing to Mayday, with that distinctly taiwanese rocker way of singing every single song.
Last night, I K-ed with a bunch of them ;p
Before you guys come and whack me, I have to say - THIS IS A COMPLIMENT.
Injenue, I especially like your (singing) voice. Can I cut off your vocal cords and transplant them to my brother's or something? Please? Prrettyyyy Pleeeassseee???? LOL Next time I meet up with you, I'll bring scissors and anaesthetic ok?
Yeah but jokes aside, I think I've to apologise to the guys last night, because I was really sleepy after awhile (might've been the oxygen deprivation from all that laughing during dinner), and was really not-very-social during the Kbox session. I tried, ok...I tried to be really upbeat and lively or whatever, but really lar, abit hard to pretend I'm full of energy when I don't get your inside jokes la =p heh
If you think these few days have been loaded with entries, you'll be surprised. i still have entire entries typed into my mobile phone that I haven't posted here yet =x See, when I wanna talk, i will ok? =D
