one big dam puzzler

Do parallel universes really exist?

Me & My fren J, we met in secondary school n the friendship has lasted 15yrs and counting...

Things we share in common:

Name: Su Lin
Born: 1976
Siblings: Nil
Parents: mum & dad born under the same zodiac sign
Our zodiac? one's a sagittarius, the other's a gemini, according to what i've read thus far...both make great friends...
Recent events: Grandpa passed away...
born 1916, age 90yrs

Stuff that happens to me seems to have their parallels in her life n vice versa.
Currently, we r both single, she tells me I have a responsiblity to 'do something about it' so that she can find her true love. Go figure...=P

Hey! how many of you can claim this kind of mystical fame? haaa...

batam escapade

back from short wkend getaway...so glad i decided to nuah (again)...
if i'm not wrong I might have sat in this exact same beach chair a few months ago...heh...taking an identical shot...


Seeing these guyz back from their harrowing ride only serve to remind me how thankful i am i didn't join them! i can do without looking like a clownfish...hee

A life of love or the love of my life?

Scribbled this on a scrap of paper on a dark and stormy night.
Nothing like getting it archived away for keeps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I once knew a guy, cute as can be;
Strong, vibrant, an athlete was he;
So healthy I thought;
But t'was all for nought;
A crush I nurtured;
By a stroke of luck love fostered;
A year or two was all I had;
Precious memories now nary shared;
Under dire circumstances we had to part;
Plunged by a knife, tore out my heart;
Such intense pain I was to bear;
Never again I wish i swear;
Many years it would be since then;
Tell me surely, if not now when?
A second chance at love?
Am I finally free?
Would I allow it to happen to me?
Well...
Maybe...
Maybe..
Maybe.

Dear fren, if you have just read this n u are concerned...
let me state for the record...
no i am not depressed, (melancholic at times but definitely no depression issues)
no i am not in denial...
yes...i am still open to an alternative career as a writer.
Admittedly the 'standard' not quite there yet...but gotta practice and start somewhere...;P

wah...ho ah!

Today woke up 6.30am (siow! so early) for the shape run. Sky was still dark, 1st thing that crossed my mind was "mental note to self: dun ever sign up for such stuff again, too dam early liao, not worth it".

Made my way to marina promenade w mz coco...dam crowded loh...didn't see ws but bump into 2 ex collgs instead. Managed to jog most of the 5km route. At least not last la...I'm quite bad at running but not that bad la. ms coco legs alot longer..so lost sight of her 1/2 way thru the route...

AFter that must collect goodie bag...which was principally what we (ok..I...what I signed up for).
Quite good I must say...got big nike towel...small nike bottle...various vitamin supplements...got this 'minus fat' thingy somemore (anyone want that?) ...various facial n shower stuff to try......even gave vitagen n yogurt n sunflower oil n loaf of loti...collected on dix behalf as well since she was still in la la land from working too hard the days before.

Kept telling ms coco :"wah...machiam sibeh auntie loh...buay tahan"..heh...heavy laden w bags of free stuff we still had enuff energy in us to do quick shopping at Zara (got sale la...50% sign big big...ms coco cannot resist) Then my fren jo called me, thot 'got hope! she might volunteer to come tumpang me" but instead she merely called me for a weather check so she cld head to ecp for blading...cheh...

ah well...so fast...wkend over...2mr mon AGAIN...=( but "neh mind" (there's a hand signal that can be used underwater for this term)...at least got sunny wkend planned ...

sat-zoo outing part II

this time arnd...more species were promised but no show ley...but it was ok ...we still had a gd time...


me with cookie the lup chiong


never thot i'd say this(i m used to and usu prefer larger pooches), but this CHH brownie is such a manja sweetie!

cockanaden day...

today quite drama.

murphy's law really applies...

went out late for lunch w my collg ms V...jalan arnd abit...then decided to head back....went down escalator still happily yakking away...got to the bottom was still yakking and got distracted and lifted my foot only a wee...nano-second too slowly, the front of my left shoe got wedged under! the whole darn thing ground to a loud halt. The commuters higher up on the escalator must've been cursing for nearly losing their balance.

"my stuck shoe"

at least got kind samaritan offered to go to mrt control station to get help...seeing that he'll prob be alot faster than i can hobble on one shoe...

one dude came down the stalled escalator and commented in disbelief :"oh shit! someone's shoe got stuck!"...then he turned n realised i was there...he looked quite paiseh ...i said :"yah...it's MY shoe"...

Dunno what he paiseh abt loh...m the one standing there trying to balance like a flamingo on one good shoe...everyone coming down STARING at disbelief la...thank gdness for ms V...patiently stand there smile and wait with me...heh

Finally the mrt staff gave me a pair of colourful beach slippers so i can walk properly to shoe shop to buy shoe



Lesson learnt for today? :
" I Shall not complain that nothing exciting ever happens in my life "

Enuff drama for pea for the day...

I still got frame of mind to take pic. Not bad hor..all for the benefit of my fans...cockanaden friends...and whoever else who bothers to read my blog...heh
cheers...

show hand...

Asked for an internal trsf on fri...but he 'siam' me....got stuff up his sleeve he can't yet reveal perhaps? Quite perplexing...I felt like a boy chasing after a girl...posed and question and now waiting for an answer...felt like cornering him but decided to play it cool and give the fella the wkend to think...

well...only 2 outcomes possible...both not too bad for me also la
option 1: stay put...no change in status quo...with the current lack of vol, it will just mean more time on msn and leaving on time...both i'm getting rather good at recently...

option 2: i get to move...i get to occupy myself and at least learn somethg new...save a collg from certain hell due to close proximity scanning radiation...but it'll mean giving up my 'feng shui wei' that i've had for the past 2+ yrs...then i won't get to 'da yan se' at 33 nor happy happy walk over to 'kar chiau' my other frenz over at the other end of the room.....hmmm...a sacrifice indeed...ha..

ahhh...guess all will b revealed in time...in time...shld be an interesting week ahead...hope we all play our cards right...

=================================================================================
speaking of play...

"i can do this! i can resist the choc biscuit on me nose..."


my animal farm wkend started on fri nite...with cookie the 'tua bui' yellow lab that when she sits down really look like a big 'lup chiong'...haaa..yummy yummy...super strong too and will only walk a couple of steps with any1 of us before she realises she ain't supposed to and will just plonk herself on her butt n not budge...

and the father n son team of terry n brownie...so small....so fierce! can actually carry them in one shoulder bag...so neat...so....erm....'legally blonde'...the mama was in pink too! the auntie in pink...heh...

'tis was a rather entertaining wkend at tanjong beach on sat...with a small yelpy harper(the pom-spitz-mutt who recgonises me!) barking her head off at the very much larger but sedate (or perhaps he was just confused that such a small thing can make so much noise for so long) beemer the goldie....

Standby...say cheese 1st...

Grrr...Attack!..beemer 'tio chuak'...



my conclusion: small dogs make lotsa noise...big dogs got small hearts..hehh...

lotsa exercise lined up this wk too...now if only my silly foot wart will just disappear miraculously and stop buggging me...

next up..coldplay concert! woo hoo!...=) itz been awhile since i went to a concert...shld be fun...

Niam king...

Have u ever met one of those pple who...once they open their mouths..they just get on ur nerves? Itz liike a constant grating noise...it just goes on and on and on and on...even the energizer bunny oso lose ah...it gets worse when he's complaining abt somethg...then the grating turns into a full scale whiny pitch which is freaking annoying la!

Imagine this...every hour or so throughout the day someone switches on a vacuum cleaner next to your ears...that's how it feels like...

every topic under the sun oso can 'chap ji kah'...sell subway sandwich he oso got fren doing.....yakun kaya oso his fren doing....hire maid oso got many many long stories...migrate n work overseas he oso say he nearly did it before....SK 2 water oso he got lobang...i think ah...like wah lau...he so 'eh sai' whadd the hell he doing working here right? he shld be like 'his flen' mah...doing biz and making it big liao.....at some point i was thinking to myself......is he talking abt just ONE fren who try alot of things but neh succeed? haaa....=P

so anyways...the next best thing pea has learnt to do when she really dun give a fuck is .....selective reception......works wonders........just block it all out........and go into the zone.....mann i think i can be a zen master liao.....completely boh chap........my PR skills dun suck...they r just non-existent...

quite respect 33 tho' ...really can 'give it to him' good good ah...tah-rok until he oso always boh siah come out...works betta than sledge hammer and less messy oso....i dunno about 18 levels of hell la but if got equivalent 18 levels of heaven u sure get promoted fast fast..haaaa...

ok...late liao....sleep time......*yawn* <=O

underwater magician...

Time to go diving again........soon..........

precious memories...frozen in time...

the three mouse-ke-teers...my cousins n me (grandaunt used to call us the "san zhi lao shu")



My love for pooches n my sam-seng-ness developed at a young age...



tri-bike racing was quite 'in' then too...

loss...

my grandpa passed on today...at a ripe old age of 90yrs...he lived a full life...we're relieved that his painful last few days didn't drag on for too long...he even got baptised in his last week here on earth...by a hokkien speaking priest who was also originally from my grandpa's hometown in china no less...how great is that?


Grandpa in his much younger days...trying to teach us the value of patience, guess from the look on our faces...we didn't really quite get it.

********************************************************************************
on a lighter note...i'm beginning to wonder if the lack of mental stimulation is really affecting my brain function.

Stuff that happened this week:

1) brought my collg to eat this collagen noodle plc only to find that itz a totally different shop. Only realised today that I led her to a totally different street...of course cannot find la!

2) caught a movie this week...happily collected the tickets...read the print and announced :"oh! it's five o'clock" (i meant to say the movie is screening in cinema no. 5 but somehow the wiring betw the brain and the mouth short-circuited)

3) found out Pekya is also from the same secondary school as me..she was asking me what class I was in...i thot for a while and rattled :"oh! i was from class 1B,2C,3A,4A,5A,6A...
?????? (since when s'pore sec school got 6yrs one?) ??????
think she oso blur for awhile but perhaps she was too polite to point out my boo boo...either that or my frens who were wif me in the car (fatdix) oso not really paying attention la!

4) my fren jo n me basically were so blur we unintentionally tekan-ed sheu sum to sprint 400m to collect his stuff from his gym when we could hv easier made a u-turn and dropped him off...

come to think of it...my frenz also quite blur....so maybe m not the only one losing it hor? =P

losing my marbles --- part deux

It was lunchtime, queueing up to order food w 2 collgs...supposed to dapow one packet for another collg who cldn't come out....when it was my turn to order, i say loud loud :" chi de yi bao "

My 2 collgs behind me :" ?????" slience..then burst out laughing...
The sell-rice auntie :"soooo.. shi chi de hai shi bao de"???
me thinking to myself: "wah lau..si eh lak sek again...lucky not alot of pple arnd"

i think really losing my mind slowly laaa....this kind of things shldn't happen to me...i usually quite 'got it together' type...maybe itz the lack of intellectual stimulation at work...realised m on msn most of the time...now that we are what i wld term 'over staffed'...

cultural idiot

today i went to get my foot wart dug out...so happy somemore..thot confirm can get at least 1day mc...

As the doc sat scrapping my foot with a blade and injecting liquid nitrogen to freeze dry the dam thing ...i tried to distract myself from the pain by staring at his stuff on the wall...there were pictures of a toddler boy and a A4 size charcoal sketch ....which i thot was pretty neat for a lil' fella to accomplish...



me:" wah...ur son drew dat ah? quite good ar?"
doc:"huh? that drawing on my wall? no la! thatz a picasso" (duhh..wld u have guessed?)
me:" oooooooooooh, sorry....i'm not cultural" (wah lau! si eh lak sek)
doc:"and thatz not my son, he's my nephew"
me:" ???????????????? (this doc quite frenly/cheery loh...)

After procedure...

doc:"you alright?"
me:"yup...thot it'll be more major tho' thot i'd get an mc for 2mr"
doc:"nah..not serious...you ok to go back to work right?"
me:"err ..ya...dun need my feet to work la"
doc:" ???????????" (at this point he must b thinkg this girl dam strange la)

after i hobbled back to office...was relating my excursion to the doc's to my collgs...i cld hear scanner tell mama "selene, huei lai le".....
In my mind a thousand lightbulbs flashed at once....hurry up make apptm for lunch 2mr so that i won't have to lie if she ask me a 4th time...haaa...dam jiak lut...=P

anyway...lesson learnt today.....dun walk arnd barefoot if u can help it....warts are apparently quite common....esp if u hang out at the pool..gym...spa...beach....liveaboard boats... etc....
Taking effort to wear slippers is much more worth it then getting foot warts...quite an annoying and painful experience...unless of course u want an exciting excursion to the doc's la...then different story...

bu yao bi wo!!!...***grrrrr***

dunno what the hell is wrong pple nowadays...

at home mudder force me to sign up for this insurance savings plan thing her fren is selling...already told her dun want...no need....but she still insist.....that night shoved the whole stack of forms under my nose...wah lau...

i think itz becoz my mum feels bad coz itz one of her good frens and she has to let her good fren down coz my mum wanna get out of this golf committee thing in which this fren of hers is the captain... so guess what...the daughter is roped in to pay for the 'peace offering'...***grrrr***

then ah...at work.....the scanner strikes...already 3rd time liao...ask me out for lunch which i gave cock n bull story to avoid...some pple really dun get it...
Think ah...really gotta be blunt w her liao...i really dun enjoy being mean....itz not my character...i'm a bitch inside my head...i just don't like to become an 'external bitch'...afterall i am fully aware that pple ...no matter how annoying still have feelings one...but wah lau! get the hint already!
***grrrr***

bu yao bi wo!!!!!!! >=(

You Are Jean Grey

Although your fate is often unknown, you always seem to survive (even after death).Your mind is your greatest weapon, literally! Powers: telepathy and telekinesis, the ability to project thoughts into the mind of others, communication with animals Woo Hooo! Cool! push me to the limit and maybe i'll even turn schizo! =P

Hey! this website is quite fun...

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it. That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power! The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism. You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world. Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in. You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you? You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways. Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you. As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

What Kind of Seducer Are You?

okay...tv beckons...

i go i go i go!

Alrighty...the exams have finally ended...the pea is happy to play again...

A friend said that itz always impt to be confident....I agree...one way or another...
I am very confident....confirm 'buang' this exam...heh heh....ah well....at least I gave it a shot. There's much to be said about just trying something...u'd never know eh?
I've just packed up the textbooks neatly...can sell liao since I won't be needing them anymore.
***Lelong lelong! half price!...very nice!***

Feeling kinda tired today...itz amazing how much energy is zapped just sitting arnd drinking kopi...heh heh...maybe itz the 2nd hand smoke we had to endure since we cheapo didn't wanna give starbucks biz so just sat outside at a nice shaded breezy corner. But as always, itz gd to catch up w gd friends...talk cock laugh alot...

In today's modern high tech world....it sometimes can be rather annoying when I come home to discover that not only is my home located in a very ulu part of the island (going home after a full day out is always a real royal pain the ass) I also live in the ice ages...where cable tv is unheard of (luckily I'm not a soccer fan) and when I turn on the printer to print something...inevitably the cartidge runs outta ink...urgh!!! murphy strikes...

oh well...better rest up early...going on a road bike trip early in the morning...where it involves several vehicles....a bumboat ride....getting off at a ulu jetty in an unheard of place across the straits and cycling dunno how far to get to this 'ming fo qi shi' dam good chee cheong fan place for breakfast... think i'm the only one on a modified mountain-road bike borrowed from a kind dive buddy (this acknowledgement on my much read and revered blog shld secure me future access to his bike..heh heh =P ) coz my own bike cannot make it......only hope i can keep up enough so that I won't just have their dust trails to keep me company on my lonesome ride...

salah bus stop...

couple more days to go...tahan tahan...at least m outta the office for 3 days...can sleep in abit later in the mornings....ahhhhh...simple joys of life...

studying sux big time....chilling out tonite....will hit the books 2mr....studying...is like training for a sports event.....itz all abt pacing ! (as if i wld know..heh)

on a more entertaining (for 'some' pple in the know) and annoying (for me) note....got this fella suddenly dam 'frenly' loh.....whole day send me boh liao emails and look for chance to ask qns...if i ignore then i appear unfrenly....but if i answer then might give salah idea and encourage unwanted attention....then like dat how la....? si buay difficult to cho lang....
Really 'salah bus stop' is all i can say....coz if i say more then i really super bitch liao...
I can only hope that the "Jie Jie"(taaa maaa de) that started this can go nip the problem in the bud then case closed...

what to do....mei li wo fa dang....ke ke ke ke ke......***peng san***

Happy plastic...itz fantastic?!

plastic...credit cards....makes shopping more convenient...also cause alot of pple alot of heartache if not handled w prudence...

plastic....surgery.....makes alot of girls look like barbie dolls brought to life....makes men drool and go weak in the knees? but what does it really do? ego booster or self esteem destroyer?
what makes a fren go thru' double eyelid surgery? or an already beautiful lady go thru' a face lift...? it makes me wonder.....they "are" or rather "were" already good looking ....but somehow they didn't think it was enough..........lasik i can understand.....life is less cumbersome without having to fumble for glasses or contact lenses.....but to willingly go thru' the pain and risk of surgery? i don't get it...

maybe they look in the mirror and they see beauty....i look at them and i actually feel sad for them...a fren has once teased me n called me "shallow" coz any guy i meet gotta pass my 'eye scan criteria' 1st..ha...but then again ...i'm lookg at the au naturale, god given appearance mah...nothing wrong w that what.....wldn't want some artificially beefed up, botoxed injected dude oso mah...so itz not double standard....itz P's consistent standards..arrr haa haaa.....

ok....enough nonsense....bedtime......countdown... 1 wk to freedom! can't wait....

man and body...

today my cousin got married.....dad's side cousin....see her at most once or twice a yr type....
so off we went to attend yet another wedding dinner...boring right? wrong....tis was more drama then i expected...

as the dinner started late...we were feelg quite hungry already...at least the couple had some frenz who could really sing so there was some real nice entertainment.....while most we craning their necks to see the stage and enjoy the performance, low and behold i literally saw my dad roll and fall off his chair!...wah lau eh! peng san attack #2!

mum was at his side at an instant, and so were a couple of relatives....helped him up to the chair and let him rest for awhile....face was darn pale....breathing was short......body was breaking out in cold sweat.....scary shit......after awhile he recovered enuff to tell everyone to continue to eat ...mumbled itz embarrasing ....soon made a trip to the loo....but came back complaining that he felt very cold...and could see he was shivering......
not a gd sign....we left ....got the hotel doorman's help...jump taxi queue....mum went w dad to hospital while i went to get the car and slowly weave thru' the orchard road jam...

this is the 2nd attack in 3mths.........1st time was scarier coz we thot he was having a heart attack...this time arnd...not so panicky....but still v worrying....
Despite all the technological/medical advances...itz puzzling when they still can't tell you for sure what is wrong exactly.....all the vital signs are ok......so itz back to the 'inner ear imbalance' again...so yet another apptm to see the specialist this wk..

The human body....more than the sum of itz individual parts....so complex yet works without us even trying...so strong yet so fragile....just one small particle dislodged in the inner ear to wreck havoc on the entire system.....so hard to fathom......

i also dunno why i can't drink....my mum can't either......looks like my dad has to lay off it as well.....he had some beer on a v empty stomach and that probably didn't help.....i think maybe itz genetic.......i've got an anti-alcohol gene....maybe someone shld fund a research to pinpoint the gene and cultivate it.........so can administer to those recovering alcoholics...just one jab of this and you'll lay off drinks for sure! think it'll be much more effective than AA.....

jokes aside...gotta take care of our health...with it all things are possible....
