Revelations on this unbearable sianness

Revelations on this unbearable sianness

Me: "I don't know why I've been so sian these few weeks... it's not like I have nothing to do... and I'm not particularly bored or anything."

Wise one: "Let's see. It shouldn't be the intellectual stimulation - u should have enough of that at work. You don't seem to have a lack of friends, you've got this and that happening and you're actually quite occupied. Maybe you just need a body to hold? Oh, and one that's warm at that."

!! :0 Maybe.

And some emotional connection too, please.

Orh... so that's why lah.

Finally, the weekend.

Finally, the weekend.

Yippieeee!! The weekend is here! Slept till 130pm today. Woohoo! Had abt a full 12 hrs of sleep! Finally! After the terrible weekend last week, having to wake up before 11 on both days!

So anyways. Today, I feel accomplished. The Bakewell Tart tt I set out to bake last week (which I cldn't in the end, cos was so damn bz!) has finally seen the light of day. And it was a success. :))) Major happiness sia. It was really a bit too complicated though, and did take up a lot of time. Am still trying to fig out whether some of the stuff I've been trying to bake is really worth the time... instead of just going out and buying them. There's so much variety out there anyway!

Today's was the most ambitious of the lot so far. Just the pastry itself needed 2 hrs. 1 in the fridge (to settle), and 1 in the freezer (reason unknown). And I'd already shortcutted (is there even such a word?!) the frangipane, a.k.a. filling tt I dunno why has such a fancy name by buying already ground almonds. And because I was too lazy to look for the mixer and also do wash up later, I manually creamed the butter and sugar. Twice. Now u all know why my arms have so much muscle. Haha.

Then I found the time to watch Elizabeth: The Golden Age. And it was fantastic. Don't you just love Cate Blanchett? I think she is a damn amazing actress. The first time I really noticed her was when I watched Charlotte Gray. And I thought.. who is this beautiful woman? I guess she's not conventionally beautiful..cos I dun really know of any guy who thinks she's hot. But those cheekbones and fair skin.. absolutely flawless can. It's like a timeless sort of beauty - sthg I wish I'd have when I get to her age! And her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth. Damn gd. She fits so well into any character she plays.. tt the character just becomes her *swoon*.

Anyways, enough of my talking. Here's the trailer of the movie, just for fun. I recommend tt u go watch! I think I will see whether I can find the first movie. Apparently this is kind of like the sequel to the first one done a few yrs before.

Why Why Why Why Why

Why Why Why Why Why

Just another one of those days again. Damn frustrating sia. Actually it's started for about a week already. I think out of all the sickening things tt are happening, not being able to skype for 2+ effing weeks is the worst. ~!@#$%^&

ANYWAY. Some videos for your pleasure (and mine).

Bad Day - Fuel...Because of how I'm feeling.



Jewelry Day - Ayaka...Because of its beauty.



And lastly, Business Time - Flight of the Conchords...Cos it's some funny shit! And anyone could do with a laugh. Anytime.

*Yihao, if you're reading this.. check this band out. They're damn gd. Cracks me up all the time :)

(F***king) Shades of Gray

(F***king) Shades of Gray

*Caution: Based on the title, all u smart pple shld already know what kind of post this is. Read on if you're in as good a mood as I am*

I just hate

1) Being woken up (in general)
a) On a weekend when I didn't set my alarm (means I have nothing on and can sleep until I feel like it)
b) To bad news
c) To sthg urgent tt needs to be done
d) By some idiot who can't get thru my hp and therefore decides to call my house and making my family members wake me up in a hurry. There's a bloody reason why my phone is off. I'M SLEEPING DAMMIT. And if it isn't a life or death situationm U can bloody wait till I wake up (on my own time).

2) Being presented with a problem early in the morning (which isn't really mine) without a solution and getting my ear talked off.

3) Being blamed for sthg tt I consider rather trivial and overexaggerating the seriousness of the prob.

Gaah.

Just eff off and go away can.

My week started off generally ok... then seemed to get worse with stupid pple sending me smses/emails re the "gd" news of WHO raising the alert level... tracing the spread of the damn mexican/swine/flu spreading thru diff parts of the world. Unless it reaches us here (touch wood of cos), THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO TO MAKE THINGS BETTER DAMMIT. CCB.

Then later in the week I had some pple wasting my free phone minutes. WTF man. I don't have so much time and patience to listen to all ur shit! Sometimes doing church stuff riles me up this way. And it really shldn't. We're all doing God's work isn't it? But very often, it doesn't feel like it at all!

And I guess not being able to look forward to anything exciting is just making me generally grumpy. Maybe it's still just the post holiday effects? Have been feeling this increasing need to live overseas for a short while. To try out something different, in a different enviroment. But I have so many other priorities that require me to be here. *Note - this is my priority, therefore I myself have labelled it as impt to me.* And time is running out for them to be completed. And I am not exactly unhappy here. My job is almost great if I can put it tt way.. and I am not entirely dissatisfied. Trying to determine whether this is a 'want'/whim or a need. Maybe cos so many pple I'm close to are just overseas and happy.

BAH. Anyway, for all u arseholes who are pissing me off: - Up yours.
