Some more thoughts

It is now 1 am....
THe background is playing Jeff Chang music...the kind of love songs that accompany me when I grow up from secondary to JC...
Many fond memories then.. life as a student seems so bliss now when you look back..
You do not think much..focusing your energy on studies.....
You do not worry much,,you live each day wth some much gusto that you wonder why the Gods would be jealous of you.
You make friends with kind intentions..simply because you want to be in their company...
How have life changed in a mere ten years....
Life becomes a little more sucky, a little more dull, a little more political, a little less loved, a little sadness, and many many little negatives...
Why?
Why has life changed so much in such a short time?
I am still me...but am I me?
I would be absolutely disgusted with myself if I see myself now ten years ago..
I would probably not want to grow old then..
I would probably choose a different life...
I would even probably end my little life then......
I guess there is always a thousand of " what if "..........
However life still goes on..no matter whether you like it or not.....
Even contemplating sucidal thoughts..........but prehaps just chicken out...........
So no matter how dreadful, you just have to drag yourself.......... and hope maybe, just maybe...
one day.........you would go back in time.... to find back that old lovely self again.....

The end.

Mount Kinabalu

It's being a long time since I logged on to my blog and posted something.
Prehaps it's the joy of finishing exams that has distracted me from posting.
anyway, here are some worthly, earthly comments to be posted.
Just came back from Mount Kinabalu.. (anyway those who technically goes to my blog should have known already)
My feelings of the trip is
Beautiful, cold, deadtired, disappointment.

Beautiful-nothings beats the wonder of mother nature. She has created the prefect art in South East Asia through Mount K!

Cold-One fleece jacket one winter jacket, I'm still feeling cold

Deadtired- Zillions of steps and rocky sprial upwards never ending.......

Disappointment-Never reach the summit.. Weak minded.. drop out just before hitting the summit.

I think I watch Harry Potter

It’s been a while since my last update.

Just watch Harry Potter! Finally after yearning to watch that show weeks back, I got to watch it with my cousin.
It’s not too bad and is probably worth the $9.50 ticket.

However there were just these disturbances that just really spoilt the whole mood in watching the show.

First, I got this Malay couple just smack in front of me.

They were pretty ok in they dun speak, or engage in XXX activities but for the love of God! Please stop turning that bloody phone on and on and on. The light from the screen is so glaring that I swear I can see that little pimple on that girl’s face!
Finally this girl (no offence to Malays) has this bloody long disgusting Potinanak hair swirling round and round on my knee. (Please, if you are the Malay girl reading my blog, kindly note that your hair do not smell like Pantene or you do not have that look in that commercial! I also dun think your boyfriend will get aroused by that obiang move lor. So you might as well sit still and watch the movie)
Anyway the broomy hair just kept stirring on my knee. (How  I wish I got some chewing gum and stick those hair in place.)
“Suay” you know to have a broom sweeping like this. No wonder never “kena” 4D.


Second, I got this mother who bring her 3 precious kids to watch Harry Potter sitting right behind us.

Holy Chirst, they are just simply HORRIBLE! (To put it bluntly in Hokkien, SI BEI KA NA SIA kids!!!!!)

You got 1 who kept pushing the seats. You got another who kept providing sound effects by his never ending potato chips munching .
However, you got the ultimate, the little smart aleck who is providing every bloody single narrative he could think off , assuming that he is the MAN OF THE SHOW. Not only that, he keep asking why this why that? Why Harry Potter is called Potter on his jersey and not Harry? Why there is a H on the banner? Why did the bad guy do that? Why that so and so didn’t die…

Na beh! He ought to be in the debating team and represent Singapore in the “Ten Thousands Why” Contest.

But that’s not all, they also drop their bottle (glass! You know, that kind that will smash  like a thousand piece of Jigsaw Puzzle) So the rest is history as you can imagine! “Piang” and yes providing that “much needed” sound effect again)

So if you are that mother reading my blog. Here are some wise advice that you can pick up.

1. DO NOT BRING UNDERAGED KIDS TO SEE A MOVIE


2. LEARN TO CONTROL THEM BEFORE YOU BRING THEM TO SEE A MOVIE (in fact, learn the art of raising kids before you allow your husband to touch you)


3. IF YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR KIDS TO SEE THE MOVIE TAKE THAT FRONT SEATS SO YOU WON’T DISTURB OTHERS


4. AN ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE TO TAPE THEIR MOUTHS AND LEGS SO THEY ARE RESTRAINED


5. LASTLY, DO NOT BRING THEM TO WATCH THE LATE MOVIE! THEY ARE KIDS THEY NEED TO SLEEP. (You know they are tired when they kept yawning (SO BLOODILY LOUD) and say that they wanna to go back home.


6. BRING THAT DEAD HUSBAND OF YOURS ALONG. YOU CANNOT MANAGE 3 IDIOTS!

It’s late now!

So goodnight!

Stress and fried rice

STRESSED OUT

What is stress?

Stress' is a term used to define the body's automatic physiologic reaction to circumstances that require behavioral adjustments. Confronted by a threat - physical or emotional, real or imagined - the hypothalamus causes the sympathetic nervous system to release epinephrine and norepinephrine (also known as adrenaline and noradrenaline) and other related hormones. When released into the body, these messengers propel you into a state of arousal (your metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate and muscle tension all increase). This is known as the fight-or-flight response as named by Walter B. Cannon, M.D., of the Harvard Medical School at the turn of the last century.
