I mentioned how some people are suddenly showing up into my life again last entry. I’m actually particularly refering to this schoolmate I met up with just now. She seemed a bit too keen to meet up, messaged me 3 times this week for a date. I kinda know she wants something and I’m curious to see what it is.

So I find out after much conversing that she wants to sell me some health products that cost $1800, not a nice thing to ask when we haven’t been in contact for like 3 years. I thought it was a bad joke that would have been funny if she isn’t someone I considered a friend. *sighs*

She gave me many well versed reasons why I should buy them, which I rejected kindly. THEN she finally started on how she needs help from friends to get her started on this part job which she is apparently very keen on making it big… Like I’m going to buy all that crap. I felt cheated. I might fall into the friendship trap, but not for people who won’t bother to call until they need your help. I told her that very frankly, she didn’t have much else to say, I told her I should go, she nodded and I strutted off quite fasionably, if I can say so myself (ahaha). I stepped out of the place, feeling quite pleased with myself. Would have give her collegue a piece of my mind too if I had anything to say about him. I just don’t like his face.

Updates

July 30, 2003 Work/School Comments

Let’s break it down.

School
I’ve got two weeks to lax before school officially starts. Official in my book means start of lectures, which is Aug 11. I wonder how are we going to finish everything in 3 months, plus I’m (really) planning to take 6 modules this semester…it’ll probably be like A levels all over again. *nervous*

This Week
- Matric fair was alright. Not as fun as I expected but not as bad as I prepared for.
- Have met and will catch up with more friends this week. Weird how people are suddenly showing up in my life again.
- Choreograph or cough up something to Jennifer’s “Let’s Get Loud” for my sister by Saturday. It is embarrassing, but that’s my favourite song. Not party favourite or get high favourite..but the ultimate favourite. Sorry.. I’m just not Daniel Beddingfield kind..:D
- 2 KTV sessions! Muahaha…I’m making myself seem like I’m musically deft am I not?
- Joelle’s bday house party and Qianni’s bday celebration. <3 <3
- Ex-collegue’s housewarming….but I’m not sure if I’m going, I think it’d be awkard since I’m no more hp employee. *shrugs* I’m pretty anti-social sometimes.
- Harry Potter. I’m halfway through but no hurry.

New stuff
- Completed my postcard collage. I’d take a picture of it when Pei‘s done too.
- I’ve got a new G-string from Miss Selfridge, flew here from London! Courtesy of my bestfriend, but I think that’s only proper. hmph.
- I bought a pencil case from 37 degrees, it might be the last pencil case I’d ever use. :( Haha actually I don’t normally use a pencil case, I’d either borrow a pen from someone else or dig up one from my bag. Somehow, there’ll be a pen amidst all the garbage.

Online
- Added a number of new links after some procrastination.
- Bumped into Rah in suntec on Friday *cheeky grin* and spotted Adelle babe in paragon on Saturday. :D

Webcam Replugged

July 27, 2003 Joy Comments

Replugged my webcam last night and coincidentally, two pretty visitors came by today separately. Joelle was here to escort me to a friend’s bday party and my bestfriend escorted me back (Yep, I’m feeling very princessy indeed). Anyway, I’ve got permissions to publish. :D

The comment is now working just the way I want it. Threaded comments is good because it keeps replies organised… PLUS+ because of individual replies (assuming they all have something to reply to), there will delusively be almost twice as much comments. :D I would then become self-deceptive and start acting like a little popularity bitch. Ahaha so fun!

Mmkay…but tomorrow is my last day at work and I probably won’t be online so often. Updates might be few and far in between but I’m not exactly sure what I would be busy at… should I be busy at all. I might be spending more time at web designing, I might be indulging in more fictional books, I might retreat to some cheap beaches, I might start reading for my modules (haha it sounds funny in my head)…etc. Then there are some stuff that I have to do. Register modules…yuck…attend some more bday parties…yum…matriculation fair…hehe hello freshies! :twisted:

Maybe I’ll end up blogging even more! Hehe I’m so disorganized, unlike my THREADED comments.

Plug: The talented tiffietaufoofar doing her thing. :D

Upgrade

July 23, 2003 Nerdette Comments

Upgraded my b2 to version b2 0.6.2. Now my smileys come into life! :D See? Wow! I saw a few batch of pretty smileys yesterday, will probably use them instead.

Not only that… the comments are now threaded, all thanks to Pei! Yum! The first time she tried… I was surfing cam whores (hehehe betcha didn’t know, sorry). The second time she tried… I was tucked up in bed, ready to sleep. She rocks the freaking world I live in. *Muaks* I still need to update the css and comments template though, which I can’t at the moment since I can’t ftp from work and I haven’t made the comments template writable, so sorry cuz it’s a bit screwy for now. :)

OMG! She is my buddy from my mandarin class back in JC. The school had a stupid system of lumping all the students who are hopeless in Mandarin together. *sobs* I can still remember was giving her lessons on html in class. It was during those times when I haven’t encounter the magic of adobe and was still ripping images from tonystone. Html coding was the only thing I know…and I remembered teaching her about frames in particular. That was so long ago… people don’t even use frame now. They use iframes. >:O

Now that clueless girl owns a site. Lousy girl…didn’t tell me. *ah bish*

Major Defecation Mission: Sucess!

The poor toilet bowl choked and gurgled a little but still, everything managed to went down. Suddenly, I feel healthy and light!

If only I could get all the modules I want, I would be anticipating for the start of school. But knowing my luck in module registration and because it is THE NUS module allocation system.
Something is bound to screw up. Ack

This year, I will be expecting more familiar faces since guys from my year are enrolling in. One just called to ask me about ICM modules and the modular system. *guffaws*…you’re barking up the wrong tree dude. I didn’t really bother to read the document on modular system until last semester. Even now I ain’t really sure. :P

_______________________________…*

I felt much better over the weekend. Went to a chalet on saturday and I got a call from my best friend who is in LA yesterday… the lucky duck. She sounded so happy that I brighten up significantly. Although I’m not at all ensured that I don’t have to pay extra for receiving the call.

Anyway, now I don’t feel the need to post anywhere else but here.. so for those who asked, this is the post I wrote somewhere else. We’re good friends now and I think it suits us better. :D

I must be a Psychic

July 18, 2003 Misery Comments

For the past few days I had an uncanny feeling that my boyfriend is really dead because I haven’t been hearing from him since the night I had my dream (read below). Well, the boyfriend is indeed dead… figuratively.

Thus, starts the healing process while bearing a front that says nothing’s wrong. Because I’m weak and I can’t bear to let others know how hurting it actually is. Ok, now you guys know… but you can’t see me. :P

Hello again to pretty eyes, if only I still have some brows with me.. I’d be mesmerising!!!

I probably don’t sound too sad but I’m saving all the self-pitying, vulnerability etc somewhere else. Email me at pixelstars@hotmail.com if you wanna know the place. Subject: PLEASE I WANNA KNOW!! Then state your identity and your cause. hehe Ok, just your identity is enough.

Two Dreams Last Night

July 16, 2003 Blurbs Comments

The dream took place in some HDB flat, I had to stall a murderer until the police came and so I decided to seduce him…I’m such a realist. :) He’s a horny caucasian, in his late forties..gross. Anyway, I tried and managed to escape as soon as I knew the police were outside the apartment waiting. I was very careful about not becoming his hostage.

Then there was this ultra cute policeman outside who oversees the whole operation. He’s the hero in other words. Occasionally, he would peck me on the cheeks without notice and tells me how cute he thinks I am while looking at me with love-sick eyes. Awwww…… (you’re cute too).

The scene took a abrupt turn…and the bad man was outside with the cute guy, trying to shove each other off the building. All this while, I was dangling, legs in the air, over the railings, one hand short of falling (wtf). Then I had a deja vu of myself falling and splatting my guts all over the concrete walkway below. It did not happened though, because the next thing I knew, the murderer falls over the rails and hit the concrete…followed by the cute policeman. Both died. :’(

_______________________________…*

I was back in my sec 4 class but I wasn’t supposed to be there or something because after some time, everyone started laughing at me. Then I packed up my stuff and left, feeling very irritated because I thought it was such a childish thing to laugh at.

Analysis:
The first dream has to do with Tom. About him being such a pain in the ass and a sweetie at the same time. Why did he DIE!? :’(

I think the second has to do with my brows. >:O (read below)

Missing Brows

July 14, 2003 Blurbs Comments

I mourn over my lack of eyebrows, which is bordering on non-existence. :’( Now I look ridiculous all because this Fancl girl thinks thin is beauty. >:O I did warn her beforehand that I don’t want to look like some ah lian. *tosses brow pencil into makeup pouch* The tool to prevent myself from being a buffoon. Ahhh eyebrows please grOW!

At least I found out what their practical purpose is. They prevent shampoo from running into your eyes.

Friday Five

July 11, 2003 Blurbs Comments

1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?
I don’t think there’s any. Not that I can remember. There are probably some so called “bestfriends” but those are just tags that meant nothing.

2. Are you still in touch with this person?
Not applicable

3. Do you have a current close friend?
Quite a few actually, and a best friend too.

4. How did you become friends with this person?
We discussed this many times. I met my best friend in Secondary Two. At that time, I was proud and arrogant and she’s the biggest geek. We don’t like each other. Then in JC, I refer her as my best friend when I mention her to other friends, I didn’t think much about it then. I later learnt that she refers me as her best friend too, so it’s a mutual agreement that wasn’t spoken of until much later.

5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?
A couple actually. One neighbour whom I practically grew up with and one other primary school classmate whom I’m quite close to.

_______________________________…*

Remember the collegue who had lunch issues? Not many people liked her because she’s too direct, outspoken and demanding. Today I wasn’t happy because of something she did, so when she asked me why I wasn’t talking much I told her what she wanted to know….and more. One thing led to another and in the end I blurted out everything, even suggesting that she should change the way she treats people. Ehem, I had good intentions and I thought she ought to know anyway because she seems oblivious to how most people thought about her. Currently, I think she’s showing that she’s pissed at me that in the end, I don’t think I should have said anything at all. Anyway, I wouldn’t have if I’m a permanent staff.

Now I’m amused, to see how people who truly believe that they are mature and even claim they are, can actually behave like a kid. Age certainly tells nothing of one’s maturity level. Just like even though I’m 20, I know I’m really 8. Ahaha kidding.

I had a bad and long dream last night. I remembered everything clearly this morning but it’s a bit fuzzy now. Anyway, I dreamt of Tom falling in love with a girl from his hall. Her name is Rosie. >:O I was actually two-timing him at that time and decided to confess just to spite him. Then he started crying and I started crying too. :/ There were many incidents in between which I can’t remember now. :(

#1 (Lamers) To whom it may concern, quit sending me empty guestbook entries just to check back a old nasty entry you wrote (you’re so weird). Obviously you aren’t smart enough know how to view my guestbook without using the form, so here’s a direct link to my guestbook for your convenience. To add the page to your favourites, click on the Favourites tab at the top and choose “Add to Favourites”. Alternatively, you can press Alt+A and press enter. READ: Remember to click OK or it won’t be saved.

#2 (Thieves) This kid apparently stole my graphic. Click for larger view.



She even has the cheek to say the layout was inspired by no one. I wonder whose layout she stole this time. Thanks Ana for the info and screenshot. :D

I’m proud to say that retail therapy doesn’t work for me. Anyhoo, I bought a dress (brown, flowery, haltered, knee length) yesterday. I was thinking of buying it since I saw it on Monday but barely a day after buying, I don’t like it anymore. Now I want it snug, I want it shorter and I want it plain white, makes me wonder why I buy it in the first place. :/

Sick of Sims

July 7, 2003 Misery Comments

I’m sick of my Sims already, mainly because my computer keeps lagging. I haven’t install vacation and the other expansion packs that follow lest it stops working altogether. My Dad wants me to buy a new computer with my pay. >:O

Stupid ICQ, keep disconnecting when I tried to send a message. >:O

_______________________________…*

*edits* Two collegues are having a confrontation right now as I type because one is unhappy that the other didn’t ask her to go for lunch on Friday. I think I have to bear a bit of responsibility too because I usually had lunch with this girl and I told her I’m joining another group on Friday, I did ask her along but she didn’t want to. This drag to Monday and now two are having a confrontation in the pantry. O.o.. I don’t like the lunch clique concept, that you had to have lunch with a particular group of people until you ..like.. retire? :x

TGIF!!!

July 4, 2003 General Comments

>>> My collegue says TGIF stands for Thank Goodness Its Friday! Thank goodness indeed because since I don’t have to wake up early tomorrow, I can sim the whole night through!

>>> I don’t any problem with my sims anymore. Readme files are ought to be read.

>>> I argued with one of my collegue yesterday over something stupid. I left my wallet on my desk on Wednesday and she got pissed at me because I took a cab back to office from the mrt station to get it instead of asking her to bring it over to me while I wait at the station. eh!?!?

>>> I can’t attend one of my close friend’s 21st birthday party because of the Tioman trip. *SAD* It is one party that I really want to attend not because she asked but because I <3 her. :(

>>> (1/5 of Friday Five> 1. What were your favorite childhood stories? Those that I can remember are Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Rapunzel and Frankenstein. ;) I don’t read much, I was too busy collecting Care Bears stickers and watching Rainbow Brite.

>>> Here in my office nobody seems to be working. Everyone is busy talking and walking about. Seems like people here are celebrating US Independence day as well. Weeee!!

Me, Tom and The Sims

July 2, 2003 Blurbs Comments

There’s an article in The Straits Times Life section today about how people tend to and should choose a mate that is similiar to them in many ways. So I started counting the differences and similiarities that Tom and I share.

Differences

If we’re in High school
him: the jock
me: the nerdette

Lifestyle
him: lives for the future
me: lives day by day

him: planner
me: dreamer

Beliefs
him: doesn’t believe in anything unless proven otherwise
me: believes in everything unless proven otherwise

him: the early bird catches the worm
me: the second mouse gets the cheese

Before sleep thoughts
him: where would I want to be 10 years from now? how do I get there?
me: I wonder what daddy will buy for breakfast tomorrow

Our Only Similiarity

Loves
him: me
me: me

Yay perfect match!

I got my Sims yesterday. The sims and all its extensions! But somehow, my stupid computer is too classy for pirated CDs. It refuses to read any of them, only acknowledging the one original disk I have.

Now all EIGHT disks are lying gaudily on my table, ALL mocking at me. *furious*
