Ok, i had a lil scare before signing in.. was led to a page which read 'Claim your blog' on the top and i was like say whattttttttttttttttttt? Heh, thought game over, the internet took over the blog, as it's gonna do the world, what with all you people out there hooked onto your internet naansense :) the damn net took over the exciting and authentic way of communicating.. I used to love decorating my letters with stickers and different coloured pens, and receiving a letter from a friend used to be the most exciting event of the day.. sigh, remember the days of pen-pals.. now, what do we have.. BORING EMAIL. the most i can do is change the font and colour.. BORING *yawn* and then like regular TV isnt good enough.. the internet had to surpass that world, and not only give you what you might've missed but spoil the fun and provide you with the whole season. Sigh, no more thrilling suspense, where you had to survive a day or even week before you get to the next episode.. no more rushing back home to catch the episode which you've dreamt about all day.. nada, zilch. nows its just click and view. not even on a big screen.. screen on screen action. BORING and no more good ol' diaries, which will suddenly resurface when you're dead. and your grandchild can read it and get all emo. it's now all done on public property and any samy, ali and ah tan (get with the crowd ya'll) has access to our thoughts! BORING. But well, we can close one eye for the blogging bit, yeah :) and now, poor MTV's market has been spoiled by youtube, where even the uncool can be updated with the latest music videos and not to mention, get some 5 secs of fame, by posting some nasty stuff they try to pass off as 'art'. Even becoming a star is easy online. BORING

So yeah, the internet age had caught up and many have fallen victim to this dreadful monster. Some without a choice, and others very readily submit themselves to it. I'm a fan of most things authentic.. i still very much rather watch TV, and catch TV series and big screen movies that i may have missed on DVD and stuff.. rather than download the movie/series and stay cooped up in my room watching it all day and night. Thats just me i guess.. I, unfortunately, have succumbed to other joys the net has to offer, which im sure will only lead to my detriment if its mentioned here. And no, i dont do porn, in case you were wondering. *blink blink* everything's done online now.. search for and apply for jobs online, book your holiday online, shop online, date online, blah blah. Soon laptops are gonna be attached to our hips and we're just gonna sit in one place and everything's gonna happen online. we're gonna become like tamagotchis :( 'cept we're feeding ourselves.. ONLINE. infact i think it'd be more appropriate then to say that we're attached to the laptop's hip rather than they on ours, and they control our movement instead. *shudders*

Yeah, a lil far fetched i know.. but i dread the changes that're coming our way. I already can't seem to handle the basic few.. Oh well, if you cant beat em' join 'em right? Except i think i'm gonna remain an ulu mamulu for as long as i possibly can =)

Ok, i'm tired after my nonsensical blabbering. I actually wanted to just post a website that EVERYONE should check out (if you havent already, i'm a lil slow with these things. i usually find out last, heh). but then i came online, and i had the claim your blog thing and then yeahhh.. i had to vent, and you had to read all that gibberish.. :) SO your reward for staying thus far is this amazing video. Go click on the link now, its crazy!!! Oh the joys of the internet ;)

This is only the funniest thing that has happened to me.. EVER!

While i'm sprawled out comfortably on the sofa, engrossed in a Nora Roberts MOVIE.. the phone rings.. Annoyed to be disturbed, i pick up the phone.

Me: Hello. (semi rudely)

More annoyed than me lady: Hello can i speak to someone more superior please.

Me: (why does everyone think i'm the maid, even on the phoneeeeee) (but i'm annoyed with the way she calls MY house and DEMANDS for someone superior) There's no one home, sorry.

Lady: No one?

Me: Who is this?

Lady: Mdm Tan.

Me: (righttttttt, now that narrows it down to a million possiblities, coz that is SUCH a unique name) from?

Lady: Ang Mo Kio.

Me: (ok, this chick is sooo weird. Ang Mo Kio, really!) And what is this regarding?

Lady: Water Supply. Cutting off water supply. Is there anyone more superioir i can speak to?

Me: Well, my dad's not home right now. I'm his daughter, is that good enough for you? (Bitch)

Lady: I don't know, are you able to make decisions?

Me: Decisions? regarding what? cutting off our watersupply?!

Lady: Yeah.

Me: Well we're not planning to cut off our water supply. (is my family going through some major financial crisis and i'm completely oblivious to it??) But in any case, my dad'll be home around 3-4pm if you wanna call back.

Lady: I'm sorry i can't wait till then.

Me: *barely able to control my annoyance* Well like i said, we're not planning to cut off our water supply!

Lady cuts in: Actually its electricity supply.

Me: (ready to scream) yeah, we're not planning to cut that either. Did my dad call you regarding this??

Lady (pretty worked up by now) : Yesterday i call, then they say the deadline is today. Then it's very important, how long am i to wait. Do you want me to live in candle light? I... (She's going on about god knows what in her lil housewife accent of hers)

Me: OK, wait a sec.... Cutting off YOUR electricity supply... Who did you think this is? Who were you trying to call??

Lady: Hello, is this SP services??

Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Lady: rude bi*ch just hangs up.

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sigh, why oh why did she not ask the question she did finally, RIGHT IN THE BEGINNING!

************************************************************************************

I call Shawn and we have a good laugh about it. Then i decide to call my dad and let him in on the fun as well. Check this out ok..

Dad: Hello.

Me: Appa, are you driving?

Dad: ( in his Kan Chiong tone) No, i'm in the supermarket. Why? What?

Me: No, i've got a funny story to tell you. This lady called and she asked for someone superior.

Dad: (cuts in) wrong number la. just tell her wrong number. finish.

Me: WHAT!? how did you know from jus that?

Dad: Obviously, she asks for someone superior. So she thinks she called an office.

Me: (a lil embarrassed that mr dad figured it all out from the first line) Yeah so anyway, she... (tells him like the main gist of it)

Dad: (not too amused) You're like a frog living under shelter la. OK i'll see you at home. bye

Me: :/

My tag board is becoming somewhat of a battlefield.. but it is the only thing alive on my blog, truly. i havent been to my own blog in ages, although im APPARENTLY free, a proud owner of a new guess bag (which is supposed to spur me on to blog, how?) and a shit cleaner, heh. Haha, well all of the above is kinda true, but for some reason i havent found any time to come online to blog or upload the pics.. Both take wayyy too much energy and i have very little of the big E word, of late. i come online, check my mail, do some research for my Docent's retreat and vamooze. The net bores me.. haha, yeah i feel the killer stares of all you cyberjunkies who live on your online movies and god knows what else. Well, ive never been much of a screen person, be it the TV or a computer. But well, a woman's gotta do what the other women want her to do.. so here i am.. blogging ;)
*
Haha, oh my godd.. i need a JOB! ok, the one i currently hold, is perfect until i decide to step out of my house into the real world. Coz it pays pittance, and i cant afford jacksh*t with it. :( so thanks to my reality CHEQUE, ive decided that it's time i got my act together. I've applied for 2 positions now, and i'm gonna keep my fingers crossed. I don't mind either, although the first would be more of a dream come true. But it sucks that i don't have the relevant degree for anything that i would be remotely interested in. And it sucks even more, knowing how much easier it would be to get a job in my previous field, and how much more i might be able to bring home. But, i'm not gonna succumb to the evil ways of moolah anymore! From now on, a decent paying job which will promote my positivity rather than make me come up with ingenious ways of killing myself, will suffice.
*
Haha, i realised that my last post was a day before my relief teaching, where i was freaking out big time! Well, everyone has heard how that went, so i'm not gonna bother blogging about it. =) Lets just say that teaching is officially out of the choice of possible careers. Children are definitely not God's gift. They're monster incarnates, period. *shudders* Oh, the gangsterness of mere 9 year olds... seriously, what world are we living in now? It's probably a reflection of the family upbringing, but the parents are not ALWAYS to blame, are they? Hmmmm.. It aint no easy task, being a parent. Children... Keep them on a tight chain and they'll pull harder to break loose. Give them their freedom, and a ruckus they're bound to create. Striking that healthy balance is never easy, its a wonder some of us turned out alright, hey. :)
*
Anyhoo, been up to a lot since i last blogged, with Ragi's blog having the most comprehensive list of things we've done thus far! So i guess there really is no point in me going on about it here, too. haha, talk about taking the easy way out. Well, the only thing i havent read about is dinner at my place on Sat night. So i'll cover that la :) Haha, we had big plans for that dinner i tell you. Was pot luck, so ragi n siva came with chips and assorted balls (haha). Sho came with home made wraps and baked tomatoes, that girl is one new age cook i tell you, keeping up with the times and all ;) . I provided (obvious choice of word here) mee goreng and samosas! Prawnboy came with... surprise surprise... prawns! haha, his mom makes the best prawns laaaaa *drools* And bhav brought her entertainment hat, to keep us amused all night long! So we stuffed our faces, till i literally fell sick (thats a story for later) and started our usual round of games. We played "Guess the celebrity" and though it was a rather silly game, we actully had fun! Says alot about our standard of fun these days huh. haha, then everyone (but me) got into the drinking mood and shawn had bought the perfect game for that, the night before- Shooters and ladders. Well it's pretty much like the original old fashioned snakes and ladders, except instead of jus moving up and down aimlessly on the board, 'single and double and pick a friend' shots are thrown in to get the players a lil tipsy! We created our own concoction of vodka pear, orange squash and rose syrup.. and the reveiw was it tasted pretty decent. Too decent, unfortunately, coz everyone survived the game unscathed. So much for the perfect game to get everyone high. The game got a lil stale after a while, and so out came the cards and everyone agreed on tai ti. I was feeling pretty out of it from a while before, so i was either stoning, or keeping myself busy to stay awake. All in all, was a nice chill out night which would have been nicer, had i felt better, but a great way to spend a sat night nonetheless!
*
Yeah, next day i suffered heaps.. threw up like a sick chicken twice in the morning.. lay in bed all day suffering from the worst stomach pains and visited the toilet ever so often. Finally i had no choice but to go to a 24 hour clinic at 10pm at night.. Thank god, shawn was sweet enough to bring me there and back.. Much love prawnboy! *muacks* the doc gave me a jab ( WHICH HURT WAY MORE THAN THEY WARNED ME *pouts angrily*) and shitloads of medicine which i'm dutifully taking till today.. Stomach flu it seems.. i felt so much better after the doc's visit (and the jab, but whatever) and i was actually able to sleep without groaning in pain or running to the toilet every 5 mins.. i still haven't regained my appetite, so ive been living on plain bread and jam since Sunday.. Lets hope that i can at least shed some of those extra pounds that i welcomed with open arms over the past few weeks. Sigh, for some reason they don't go as easily as they come. Bas*ards. :(
*
Anyhoo, I've placed myself under voluntary house arrest, but my SCV ain't working. Must be retribution from the TV gods, since i claim not to be a fan, heh. Oh well, i'm pretty satisfied watching friends and desperate housewifes.. thank god the DVD player didnt decide to take a hike as well! Speaking of friends.. whats your all time fav episode? I've decided that my favourite is the one where Joey tells Rachel how he feels about her in season 8.. Sigh, i LOVE that episode.. maybe its coz i just watched it yesterday, after ages, but i dont ever remember fallin in love with an episode the way i did with that.. So beauty la, so beauty.. haha, who says it like that ah? hmmmm.
*
Aight, i'm off for some dvd action. Everyone, take care and rest well! and if i have to drink more water, so do youuuuuuuuuuuuuu! =) love!
