FEBRUARY 29, 2008.
went to watch L: Change the World on sunday.
i kind of forgot what happened in the first two movies ;x
not that it actually mattered though.
but it did give some insight on how biologogical warfare can be very scary.
and the mask makes a return!
y'know, the one L was wearing to hide his face from misa in deathnote 2.
yeah man, that mask should totally see the light of day again.
it cracks people up.
in the morning went stationery shopping with my sister.
she's very fascinated by the 'living statue' people.
you know, those painted in silver/gold.
she said she never see before D;
met lionel and went home,
my sister was telling us her dream of becoming a construction worker,
so that she can be "part of the building process!"
cue eye sparkles.
oh and i fed her dinner the day before.
HAHAHAHAHA.
like mouth by mouth,
'cos she so tired.
soooooooooo funny.
my mum was telling us lame jokes the other day.
the what, mantou and pao one.
does anyone know the three wishes of a panda?
she can only remember two,
and its funny enough already.
wish 1) it wants a colour photo of itself ('cos always black&white ma. hahahahahha!)
wish 2) it wants to find out who gave it its black eye :D
wish number 3, anybody?
been doing the morning opening of the shop,
the shutters are damnnn heavy!
i've never actually considered how they lift the shutters,
'cos at night must pull down,
got the help of gravity.
but now, every morning like lifting weights like that.
and crystal (the store in-charge) asked me to open shop today by myself,
sorta like a test.
she said she will go hiding and see how i fare.
morning is much simpler than night ba,
but all also fun.
(got kaching! can already ;x)
going to meet kael for some major catching up tomorrow,
FINALLY.
oh, and the last volume of fruits basket is out!
another finally :D
i worked the first morning shift for the first time today.
and since i had to get up at 3am,
i didnt sleep the night before.
lol.
some logic.
URYI(:
internet life seems to have become stuck in some eternal limbo.
every time i go to kael's blog i go, "wahsian."
only because that's the first two words i read.
ahahahahahaha.
but seriously,
i myself cant remember much.
must be work.
if anything,
i do remember that corne came over last monday for dinner!
:D
we had a happy childhood.
with great neighbourly ties.
i miss those times.
see!
muahahahaha.
halfway through dinner,
his mum asked my parents, "do you know whats the in thing for kids nowadays?"
i waited with baited breath..
she continued, "MAHJONG!"
and i thought i was lag enough.
so apparently its only nowadays eh?
ah well.
my sister took this picture.
which reminds me, she had this series of pictures...
for people with small eyes (*nudges nat),
"mummy... you tie my hair too tight."
and this one,
"hurry.. MRT door closing."
"uh, auntie.. your umbrella..."
and this one,
"mummy, my classmates all laugh at me say i have a big head."
"(moving hand in a large circumference) hai zi, guai.."
it cracked me up like hell.
especially the umbrella one.
but she's still sweet la,
she messaged me one of the weekdays,
and went, "i havent seen you for so long!"
so nice right :D
its true,
working the night shift is.....
it wouldnt contribute to family bonding, i'd say.
oh and yesterday,
i did the closing of the shop!
i was all alone,
and i know the password to the safe!
which is have to forget by wednesday,
which is today.
so...
what safe? password?
anyway it was a situation that rarely occurs.
one staff took an MC,
so the person i was supposed to be working with at night,
she took over at the morning shift.
leaving me alone.
to eat hotdog buns for dinner.
aha.
and did i mention the halving of transport costs?
(i like to remind kaelyn of this, for some reason ;x)
although sitting in a cab isnt my cup of tea.
can you say, motion sickness?
the head of the cab-operations thing is uncle peter.
he uses vulgarities the way you and i use "you" and "i".
for example,
"i cannot park there! that ** policeman will come and *** me, like i even want to park there like that!"
kael has another interesting example to do with his driving.
but he's a nice guy.
he talks to the poeple he drives.
makes you feel, remembered, y'know.
and he jokes.
yesterday he was negotiating a bend with a rolls-royce too close for comfort.
"ah! please don't hit me!"
AHAHAHA.
and his taxi flies.
i mean, literally.
it doesnt hug the road.
i like when we go over longkang.
no need to go escape theme park.
he's been in the contract business for 15 years.
and as if that doesnt sound long enough,
he was just a "normal cabdriver" for 10years before that.
then he got this contract in 1996, his lucky year,
'cos he secured alot of contracts.
1996!
we were happy little babies in k2!
you see,
i'm very fascinated by this space-time continuum thing.
read the headlines of the newpaper,
how this jc kid went to breathe fire,
by puting ethanol in his mouth during chemistry practical.
sounds scarily like yj.
ahahahha.
oh, and i didnt know the youth olympics thingy has been shortlisted to singapore or moscow.
results are out tomorrow.
heh heh.
i dont know, the idea tickles me.
like how the Alevel students are still waiting for results,
and now the adults and the up-theres are hopping around nervously too.
speaking of Alevel results,
the 15th passed by with little ado.
i remember working around the shop and thinking,
"well, today might have been different."
so maybe its the budget meeting.
or maybe it was total defence day.
no wonder 15th february sounds so familiar.
and now other dates keep popping up.
ear piercing, ear piercing!
lionel came out on the weekend,
we went to beach road,
i was whining because we didnt know the way.
i swear,
if we joined amazing race,
viewers will be like, "wahlau that kristelle is a bitch leh! keep scolding that lionel! and he keep saying sorry!"
totally.
and singapore won amazing race asia 2!
they seem like nice guys.
anyway we knew we were close to the place when we saw alot of botak guys.
i tugged lionel's sleeve and said, "look, another botak."
then i pointed to the ahpek at the kopitiam.
aha.
its the far-east for the army guys.
loads of little shops selling the same stuff.
and the goreng pisang is so nice :D
after that we watched ahlong.
this crazy bugger sitting infrot of us have obviously never heard jokes before.
he laughed so hard, and loud,
i think he must be deprived.
working the morning shift for the next dew days till sunday.
talk about extremes.
i have to wake up at 3am now,
'cos the shop opens at 4am.
i dont know how to say it,
but i like the idea.
like wake up early,
but can stay up longer.
but it sounds like i'm describing the Pshift.
at least i can see my family in the evening.
if i dont fall asleep.
i find it hard to sleep,
and harder to wake up.
the other night i came home, couldnt sleep,
took out all the cards that people gave me.
so heartwarming.
bytheway,
thanks twin for the newyear card,
and nat for the valentine's day one!
the alphabets very cute!
and the rose.. like the ferraro rocher advertisement.
and britney spears is recovering!
i was sooooooooo touched when i saw her more recent pictures on perez.
she's dressing so normally, in jeans and stuff.
and her face, her smile looks abit sheepish, but sincere!
pleasepleaseplease recover!
i'd hate to think of how her children are affected :(
this week all the magazines are all showing the same thing,
britney spears,
and jolie-pitt having twins.
one mag says jennifer aniston broke down over the new baby news.
another mag said she sent flowers and had lunch with angelina jolie.
weird.
oh, and dont ask me why i know what it says.
=)
my sister is on her way home!
i bought chocolate for her.
cadbury's popping candy.
very fun one.
:D
oh, lionel and i went the naitonal library,
and borrowed alot of foxtrot books!
it was the most foxtrot books i've ever seen.
i love foxtrot.
babyblues dont really get to me.
and babyblues, the kids age (up to a certain well, age)
but foxtrot doesnt.
i like to read the little things that bill amends put in the little newspapers.
he always say things like "cartoonist won $10 million." or something.
andandand,
QUINCY!!!
how can you not love that iguana?!
lovelovelovelovelove foxtrot.
i may go around collecting the anthologies someday.
my sister keeps rubbing in how i typed iguana as igauna.
and how she has new eye-candy D:
and now she's raving about her school councillors.
who are very law-by-law, and a little blind.
apparently my sister and a whole group wore their secondary school uniforms.
and around 5 councillors approached them,
like, "you're supposed to be in the cc now!"
(whatever cc is ;x)
and she's ranting at how they dont even recognize their own peers,
like her bestfriend in the house council.
"how can they not know fayanne?!"
this sentence sounds funny.
anyway,
wanna go out and trim my hair?
to end off,
yaoming and jet li.
is jet li short?!
dang it,
i think i'll probably reach up to yaoming's knees.
today is valentine's day.
and it being valentine's day,
it is also the day some couples throw money away doing extravagant things, like..sitting standing in a capsule for forty minutes.
having dinner in hotel lifts.
but they happy la.
and other people just say "every day is valentine's day".
other sweet, sensible and poor people.
HAHAHA OKAY JOKING ABOUT THE POOR PART.
its each to his own la k.
i hope today's newspapers wont be in red ink.
and i suppose the classified will be filled with the valentine day poem competitions or something.
commercialization.
but since when has it not been so?
chocolates, roses, dinners.
my cousin's selling roses.
in his own words he was like,
"have you noticed that on valentine's day the guys get the worst of it? the roses, the dinner, the cabfare home. so i'm trying to lessen their costs.."
so cute right.
lololololol okay lets not sound so cynical.
at the most on white day (march14th) there must be a return of gratitude lor.
(note how i didnt say girls must return to guys,
'cos valentine's day girls also can blanjah guys what! cannot meh!)
so, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY LOVES.
nickelodeon says its friendship day as well.
cherish the love we have, we should cherish the life we lead!
its interesting to see what people come up with every year,
on this special day.
like proposals via crossword puzzles
(i read that in reader's digest)
oh, and happy birthday joseph (:
anyway lionel's still in the jungle.
i havent spoken to him since satruday night,
and i miss him terribly :(
usually i wont say these kind of things,
but today valentine's day la,
let me mushy abit.
been working the night shift,
i think its unhealthy.
at least this morning i got to see my dad before he flew off.
see, its unhealthy.
i also havent seen my sister or mum or bro.
and the sad thing is we're all living in the same house.
major boo.
kael's been transferred somewhere else i suppose.
:(
and results are not this friday!
HAHAHAHAHAA.
or so i think.
i havent checked the newspapers.
my dad is adamant that this friday there's the budget meeting,
so the government will be too busy.
but there's no putting it off anyway.
its just that on the day we'll be getting our results.....
.. i'll be piercing my ear.
yeah it makes sense.
it's been long since i last pierced my ear.
and i can vaguely remember some of the reasons why i pierced them.
one was after the day i lost my phone.
another was...
okay so i said "vaguely"
perhaps it'll numb the shock of receiving my results ;x
going off to work soon.
payday's tomorrow,
but its only two weeks' worth!
zzzzzzz.
next month i'll be rich.
and i came across this on bits&pieces.
eye stickers!
to paste on your eyelids when you're getting some shut-eye during work, or lecture, or tutorials!
but this was the picture which cracked me up.
SO SPASTIC!
see, you'll look so attentive!
but small eye people cannot la.
poor me.
poor nat.
HAHAHAHAHA.
snow angel carin
i know my sister will flip when she reads this, but..
i just visited her blog,
and she's damn funny.
when she's angry or not feeling good she doesnt use punctuation.
can make into rap.
she looks forward to chinese new year,
because of mac's prosperity meal.
she thinks she's weird and she blames me.
i accept all the blame!
ahahahaha.
she's wondering if the 100day cough really disappears after the 100th day.
after her "ROAR!" there's this "beepbeepbeepbeepbeep"
i think it means she selfcensored her vulgarities,
but it doesnt make it any less funny.
and the most funny part.
"i do not fucking run like paris hilton"
AHAHAHAHAHA.
apparently someone gave an really stupid comment about her running.
does paris hilton even run?
i so cannot imagine paris doing say, shuttle run.
okay la but my sister still have some words of widsom.
see mei, i present your good side too.
your world is your thoughts, so if you keep thinking of bad things, what kind of world do you think you live in?
seeing the world as sheets and sheets of canvases. green grass, white paths, black roads. the atmosphere is a pattern. the shadows are patterns. the sky, clouds, they're paintings, painted with different strokes of the brush and mixes of colours
(she took Olevel art. i thought it was a great piece anyway.)
a touch on the hand which does not lead to the heart is nothing.
ive heard this before.
so philosophical hor?
she thinks people who study philosophy are very cool.
and those in communications.
those with dreadlocks holding cameras.
i remember when she messaged me a long time ago.
she complained that i always put her weird moments on my blog.
which is true.
ahahahaha!
had lunch at some restaurant near vivocity.
usually there are two tables, one for adults, one for children.
today the children's table was half filled.
we got full on yusheng itself.
hmmm.
i think its quite fascinating.
my dad's group of friends is his secondary school ones.
i foresee the next time having chinese new year dinners with the girls, with 222? :D
and then all our kids can sit at the next table and intermarry.
hurhurhurhur.
the kids are not really kids.
my sister is the youngest one there already.
all of them are scholars etcetc.
very smartsmart one.
after lunch i trooped down/up to yishun,
met the ninja for awhile.
he lost his cap and dogtag :(
then went to find xinyi and adrian who were at the mrt station!
vann, jialiang and nat came shortly after and we went...
grocery shopping!
grocery shopping is one of the funnest things to do.
with friends i mean.
i always considered it a family thing or something along that lines.
we ran up&down cold storage alot of times.
and look who we bumped into outside!
KUA SIEWHWA aka halfboiledegg!
the bullied was laughing so hard when taking this picture,
because he cut out xinyi.
okay okay here is everyone.
then we went to nat's house to prepare for steamboat!
while vann exercised.
i like to chop things!
the bullied and i were massacre-ing tofu, mushrooms and vegetables.
and and and adrian's joke of the day!
at cold storage we bought a roll of fishcake, the japanese kind,
so i told him, "eh wanna watch naruto?"
(naruto being the fishcake la)
and he said, "over there got bleach right"
wth.
FOOOOOD!
when we were buying the food,
we thought it would be quite little,
but we couldnt finish.
and this even when most foods are already sold out.
army talk.
the guys only seem to talk about army when they congregate.
vann's cooking show!
with her assistant!
the chopstick gang!
here you see the leader and its only member.
the naruto makes the steamboat look very flowery.
vanna white the second.
(she's the wheel of fortune lady, if you didnt already know)
nat's footwear very cute hor.
we bought tanghoon too!
the bullied kept re-enacting this fateful scene of titanic sinking.
beryl came later,
prettier with contact lenses.
we started on dinner first!
when claudia arrived we had already cooked alot of stuff for her :D
nat's house is very clean and simple.
i like the walls :D
but she doesnt have enough furniture, heh.
after dinner we milled around,
tried to get them to play the drinking game but there wasnt any alcohol involved,
so it wasnt so high ;x
then played indian poker.
xiangjie was in the area,
so kept asking him to come over,
but jiahao and adrian kept saying they wanted to leave already,
and everything was soooooooooo undecided.
xiangjie took the lift at his friend's place up&down like 5 times.
LOLOLOLOL.
wait pple think he some pervert, loitering around.
and he kept receiving mixed messages from jiahao and adrian.
"huh, you want me to go? but adrian ask me don't go!"
in the end he still dropped by for awhile.
and he looks damn tall.
i swear talking to him my neck quite suan.
D;
and this coming from a girl used to talking to people taller than her.
watched some chinese mahjong show,
which was the sequel of the one on new year's eve.
vann&nat were like, "but how they do that?! the pple cannot tell she cheating meh! so obvious!"
._.
the bullied and xiangjie were the last to leave.
talked alot about their army life.
xiangjie says its fun bullying people.
pop has alot of fun in his bunk singing&dancing.
but the army up-theres sound very unreasonable.
"put on helmet,take off, put on, take off."
i know thats very standard la,
xiangjie says its fun.
i guess so, but it just doesnt sound nice.
._.
lionel and my dad kept explaining the army ranking thing to me,
but i just cant remember it.
nevermind la, uniform chio can already.
;x
then nat, vann and i become temporarily paralysed on the sofa,
watching jialiang's dvd,
watching videos on youtube.
"eh what's with the marshmallow heads?"
"he very ugly leh!"
both of them knocked out around 7am,
nat earlier.
it was so warm (NOT HOT) so i couldnt sleep.
but that was probably because i was in the middle of the both of them.
i.e., they block the wind, not they are hot.
;x
came home and fell asleep only around 1pm.
thank goodness i didnt ask to work on my leave.
tomorrow gonna see corne!
dinner at eastcoast park,
and mahjong?
muahahahaha.
this afternoon before i slept i talked to my dad,
what if i didnt do well for Alevels.
he was like, "tsk. nevermind one, there are so many things you can do. alot of paths for you to take. you can still end up the same place but the time taken to reach there is different, that's all."
im very glad that my parents are understanding.
but still,
it doesnt feel good to present less-than-acceptable results..
jess is itching for a day out!
we whole-heartedly approve :D
i recently picked up the teenage textbook again.
i dont think i want to watch the movie,
because alot of fun is in the writing.
its a damn good book.
note to self;
do not listen to any song that jiahao recommends.
so far the songs he ask me to listen to,
get stuck in my head like forever.
i'll get you for this, mr.you.
another night up awake.
my eyes.
they cant get any smaller.
so met up with my cousins at tampines mall,
where we were in the afternoon as well.
my sister was totally channeling ida that night.
the same jacket, skinnies, hair.
her new boyfriend!
his name is waterhorse i think.
we were early,
so we sat at phin's for awhile.
free lodging, 'cos its not open.
and we thought they didnt lock the icecream too.
caught kungfu dunk.
wanted to see if it would be kungfu dung.
thats how everyone pronounces it anyway.
but its not bad.
only sometimes we catch no ball,
and during one fight scene alot of glass shattering,
like very lame effects.
other than that the show is quite laughable.
and it follows a little of the slamdunk plot.
(i mean, thats its inspiration right? it was originally titled slamdunk anyway)
like how sakuragi likes the girl who is the sister of the basketball team captain.
or how sakuragi very enthu about slam dunks.
or how there is a rukawa who has alot of fangirls.
oh, and i couldnt really differentiate some characters in the show,
so it was confusing.
maybe thats why i thought alot of people were laughing at weird moments.
but the funniest was the lyrics of the theme song (zhou da xia. big prawn zhou. ahahaha).
it was like,
"i don't sell tofu (tofu!)
i do kungfu (kungfu!)
take off your qipao so i can eat your tofu (tofu!)
your beautiful curves seduce me when i'm doing my kungfu (kungfu!)
put on your qipao before i eat your tofu (tofu!)"
my sister and i were like, o.O?
so after the movie the mall was quite empty.
check out my cousin's ride!
and his house!
okay, his crib.
chinese new year visitation!
anyway there were 7 of us.
3 would be my bro, my sis and myself.
the guy who owns this kennel is eugene,
and his sister debbie (in pink).
i think theyre both very goodlooking.
the guy in grey at the back is victor.
and the other girl is yuzhen.
and victor's girlfriend helped take this picture.
oh look, barney stopped by.
i tell you,
barney has this really disturbing face.
so the atrium was really empty as well.
and that is temptation.
its kinda dark,
but what happened was that victor's girlfriend, grace, went up to the second level to take a picture of us lying on the floor.
the moment she was ready they all flopped down.
and there were people around.
hurhur.
i would have taken from the fourth floor :D
we dillydallied around for awhile deciding where to go,
then eugene asked, "you all want xin qi tian?"
xin qi tian = sunday.
mac's chocolate sundae.
and you thought i was lame.
anyway they came over to our place,
and we played a very interesting game,
which i'm going to try on 222 tomorrow :D
my brother had work in the morning and didnt sleep at all.
now i know.
if i fall sick during festive periods i'll wonder if the nurses are sober.
*shudders.
so around early morning when all the vodka, beer, tea and water had been finished,
we ended up talking about random stuff,
mostly relationships and studies.
i like talking to eugene and victor.
they can do stand up comedy man, lol.
and they're older so they're kind of telling us to be careful of the older guys when we're older as well,
'cos then the guys already know the rules of the game,
what makes a girl think too much etcetc.
in other words,
what the girls already know now.
:D
okay la, not really.
and drinking alcohol in the presence of family is safe.
especially since we're at home.
:D
so alcohol is dehydrating,
and we were eating potato chips.
oh my liver.
we were talking about university and poly/jc too.
and they were thankful they already got out of the system.
boy, i wish too :(
went to sleep at 7am,
woke up around 12-1.
met lionel and we caught sweeney todd!
which is a really disturbing show.
disturbing and sad :(
the music is not as catchy as say, hairspray,
its more.. i dontknow, professional? ;/
and sometimes when they sing together can't catch anything,
and the lyrics too.
kept trying to read the chinese words.
but the cast is good.
alot of harrypotter people,
like snape, peter pettigrew and bellatrix.
borat also appeared, lol.
i think helena bonham carter is very pretty.
married to tim burton eh.
no wonder she was in corpse bride too.
she and johhy depp were so eccentric in the show.
and i realized its the first M18 show ive watched since turning 18?
and i dontknow,
it would have been fine even if i were 16.
i just went to the official website for sweeney todd,
and its scary T-T
oh, and the blood in the show?
its really vivid and red and fake,
tim burton said he wanted it to look fake,
artistic i suppose.
and the whole scenery is very greyish.
like how the corpse bride is bluish.
funky.
tomrrow is a full day out,
lunch with my dad's friends,
very standard new year thingy,
and initially dinner was to be at my aunt's place,
my mother's side.
but i'm going 222's gathering instead! :D
NinjaLion will be going to live in the jungle on sunday till friday.
:(
i is having a lack of sleep since the week started.
hurhurhur.
worked on monday and tuesday,
i'm on night shift for majority of february.
CAN SAVE TRANSPORT COSTS, WOOHOO!
so i reached home around 1.30 - 1.45am both nights.
kael brought me dinner on both nights!
sooooooooo sweeet right!
after her shift ends she still go canteen buy food,
then take bus down to budget to eat with me!
awwwwwwwww :D
i like the night shift i guess.
i finally got to do the returnings.
which is like schoolwork, must write stuff.
makes me feel useful, see.
so after dinner its returns all the way until around 11.
closing shift is very complicated.
at least, that's what it seems like.
nas does everything so fast i'm eating her dust.
(three words rhyme! :D)
on monday went parkway with my dad.
he was saying how he cant shop in singapore now,
'cos in china everything so cheap.
heh.
wednesday was offday!
supposed to go shopping with my sister after she finished school,
but she smartsmart never bring money.
(and i also wanted to sleep :D)
so spent the afternoon watching tv.
realized i have the same little toe as my dad ;x
or maybe its cos our little toes fatfat one.
its fat until its sharp you know?
not sharp like knife la,
but like.. plasticine.
i think its 'cos when we walk,
the flesh is flattened.
but so cute right.
my toes :D
reunion dinner!
soooooooo many things lor.
miko was really excited.
i think it must be the smell of all the raw meat.
but i dont really like boiled sotong.
or boiled chicken.
so we got really full on fishball and stuff.
so not fun one.
around 11 we went to the temple.
i think its an interesting place,
but the whole visit is over in 15minutes.
my parents never did explain the significance of things :(
then we stopped by gelare and starbucks!
ohman, chocolate and coffee high!
and so,
upon reaching home...
MAHJONG!
I KNOW HOW TO PLAY MAHJONG NOW!
MUAHAHAHA!
my mum was teaching me,
but she master already,
then its like she's playing,
i didnt understand what she's doing.
and so,
before we knew it, it was 12mn.
HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! :D
but we stopped playing around 5am, lol.
and i didnt lose money!
muahahaha.
woke up around 10,
went to visit my uncle.
we do very little visiting, sadly :(
(in other words: no angpao)
then we caught ahlong pte ltd,
it had me and my sister in stitches.
was damn funny la.
somemore all the newspaper reviews all gave it sucky ratings.
boo.
i shall not trust movie reviews from now on.
going to catch another movie with my cousins later.
tradition, see.
probably kungfu dunk.
cj7 doesnt sound very hot leh.
and 27dresses is a romance thingy, not really my type.
oh wait, i know what's my type!
but i forgot the movie title.
its something like epic movie one.
DAMN FUNNY!
i think its sparta-something one.
oh found it!
its called meet the spartans.
I WILL WATCH! MUAHAHAHA.
and i'll catch sweeney todd soon too i hope.
perhaps tomrrowm with lionel.
THREE MOVIES IN TWO DAYS!
so ya,
just trying not to fall asleep.
:)
so friday night,
i was walking underground at tanahmerah mrt station.
and i saw these two women,
the younger one (about mid-twenties or so) was crying,
or had just cried,
'cos she was dabbing her eyes with tissue,
while the older one (about forty?)... i didnt really notice.
and then they approached me,
and i thought like, "okay, somebody got lost and panicked?"
the younger one did most of the speaking.
"do you have time? we want to share with you our experience with God."
and i'm like wth.
you dont just pluck people off the street to try to convert them into your religion!
please take note that i am not anti-christianity.
i even admire some people i know for their faith in religion.
heck, lionel is christian!
but this was...?
so even though i said i didnt have time,
she carried on anyway.
words are wasted on these people, no?
and she asked, "do you believe in God?"
to be truthful,
i dont really.
i'm not that into religion and stuff.
i'm not that deep into thoughts.
i'm not a devout buddhist.
(but i'm faithful okay! faithful. hurhur)
and i havent reached that "i've seen the light" stage.
in fact, i'm kind of a cynical person.
so i said, "no, not really."
and she asked, "so what do you believe in?"
and i swear, the next words i wanted to say were "santa claus".
but i didnt, so i said "myself. i believe in myself."
although i know no matter what i said,
it would just be her stepping stone to her speech.
which was true.
she then rapped a whole paragraph of words which i didnt take in,
but all the time i was looking into her eyes,
not lovey-dovey, mind you,
more like trying to see if the person talking to me was a very passionate person or a raving lunatic.
or if she really had some vision or something which reduced her to such an emotional state and caused her to prey upon a harmless short girl from times newslink at tanahmerah mrt station.
so she carried on talking,
and the older woman was nodding along,
occasionally i looked at the other woman,
because she seemed more sane.
so the younger one talked alot,
sometimes in chinese,
and the only part i can remember is her asking,
"have you ever felt that you wanted to change and you cannot do it-"
and i interuppted with, "but i can."
just for the fun of it.
and she paused awhile and phrased it differently,
"but most of the time when you want to change, you find that it's difficult-"
and i cut her with "most of the time i can do it."
yeah,
i was kinda hoping she would explode and go, "HEY BUSTER, CAN YOU LET ME FINISH WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY?!"
but she didnt,
and she rephrased it again to,
"sometimes when you want to change its difficult but when you've changed its because the Lord has changed you from the inside-" and alot of other things.
and she also took the time to tell me i'm a sinner and we all are,
because we lie and think bad thoughts.
which i can accept actually.
and then i asked, "actually, what is this for?"
and they suddenly backed away, like, "nothing, nothing!"
the younger one continued with, "some days of the month we just come out and try to promote our church-"
and i couldnt help butting in, "promote your church? by doing this (crazy, stupid, lame, time-wasting, halfbaked idea of an act)?"
they could have put their time to better use to promote their church right.
is this like the blonde jokes?
where about 1% of them give a bad impression of the other 99%?
i had a feeling she expected me to break down in tears and hold her hands and say "yes! you're right!"
and then end it rachel-style with "... but i lied!"
anyway while i was walking home,
i was thinking whether i'm gonna die and if God was gonna punish me or something.
makes me wonder,
i've lived her for six years and i've never been accosted by these people.
so maybe the problem lies with me.
that i'm not open enough to accept their views?
but it was kinda a forced situation y'know.
i got abit pissed when lionel said theyre just promoting their faith,
and that i should have just agreed, at least half-heartedly.
so if one day this random person comes up to you and say,
"can you please fall in love with me? being in love with me will allow you to explore your deepest emotions" etc."
so you just nod along?
i said that because religion, like love, cant be forced.
ah whatever.
so controversial.
and this on the day of work when i seriously considered quitting.
yeah, the first week of work was totally rad.
but now, it sucks.
not being able to see kael, for example.
being treated like idiots, for example.
no food, for example.
weisheng could have dapao-ed food for me,
but nooooo, i could not go for break at that specific time,
because there was just sooooooo many things to do,
and only the other staff could do it because im a total hapless dumbass.
and i couldnt eat in the backroom because of the smell.
while their own chicken rice is odourless.
on the bright side,
there was a very cute customer today,
he got really excited over chocolate.
"oh gosh, you guys have this? this is so totally awesome, you've GOT to try it! this is excellent!"
lololololol.
and my dad came home from china too.
yay :D
lunched with kael this afternoon before her work.
forgot there was alumni,
but feel no reason to go back.
particularly why i used to want to go back.
uploaded some of the tianjin-harbin pictures.
feel so lag 'cos jess has gone and come back, and blogged about her trip already.
lol.
i have a feeling Life is not going to get any better.
