some serious mood swings...

i guess my period's coming soon... so i'm like having some real baaaad moody craps nowadays. YM had the taste of it recently. haaa....

anyway, i just wanna whine...

nothing much actually. just that i don't wanna go work tomorrow.... a sucky 12 to Close shift, definitely not something i'm looking forward to. who wanna work on weekends!?

sigh... i'm wondering when will i get myself outta this.

if i'm to continue, i'll be incoherent. my thoughts are all over my puny brain and i can't think. oh well, time to hit the sacks...

nights people! lurve ya all... =)

i finally finished it!!

OMG!! it sure takes some REAL time to finally upload finished ALL the pictures i had taken from Bangkok! and fotopages is quite cock up, really. whenever i upload about 6 pics (which is the max limit for uploading each time), it'll either jump to an error page about losing connection with the SQL server, or it'll automatically create a new entry for me. it gets really frustrating! i'm wondering if Hua experienced the same prob as me....

anyway, i ended my RD today with YM, catching the movie Pathfinder. it's quite bloody coz' it's like war between 2 tribes. the movie was not too bad, constantly keeping its audiences at their toes, anticipating the next move. at least, this show didn't put YM to sleep. so now i figured that if YM didn't sleep during the show, it's not a bad movie. hahaha.... maybe he's attracted to gore, while i get totally turned off seeing ghastly sights of blood and all.... which explains i can never be a doctor. hahaha...

tomorrow's PAYDAY!! i've had it up to my head with meagre salary for the whole of this month! and it's time to pay off outstanding loans and all... time to lift the load off my chest!

and i need abit of retail therapy. this month, i hardly gotten myself anything other than my daily meals. i felt so pathetic coz' i even have to choose a cheaper alternative to food!! it's like, if that meal cost me more than 4 bucks, i have to rethink my choice of food. i felt SOOO pathetic.

FINALLY, i'll be relieve for all that crap... WAHAHAHA.... i'm like so happy lor!!

my RD today

i guess we're in another weather transition period - hot/cold treatment. it's either ultra sunny in the day and rains at night, or it's raining with gloomy skies in the day and it gets awfully humid at night.

anyway, it was my rest day today. last night, i went to watch a midnight show at The Cathay Cineplex - TMNT. that's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. it's like OMG when they actually came up with abbreviations for such an oldie cartoon and tries to fit into the younger generations. so does Powerpuff Girls would be known as "PPG" for our future generations? hmmm... but seriously, i would still pronounce Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and not TMNT. maybe i don't exactly belong to the "yo yo" tweens.

and this morning, i followed YM to Ngee Ann Poly with his youngest sister. she got enrolled into NP and requires a lappie. so there's a lappie fair at the new Convention Centre. the deals are REALLY superb. in addition, they also have insurance which costs around one-time 60 bucks for 2 years coverage! my insurance cost me a few hundred.... darn. i felt such a loser... hahaha...

the students approached me, and started psychoing me to sign up for camps and all. it's quite amusing actually. hahaha... so i replied saying, "sorry, i'm already a passe...". it took some a while to get it and i could tell they're quite paiseh. wahahahaha.... it's so fun to do that!! but i can't help feeling old... nonetheless, i missed the student life in poly.

i went Funan this evening and dropped by Challenger. i needed a Laptop bag which a nice one cost me about 80bucks; and wanted Adobe Photoshop cost about 100bucks, and a transparent cooling base for my lappie which is about 30 bucks. looks like my wallet's gonna bleed.... well, i'll still wait and scout for more better deals.

alright, i've a Morning shift tomorrow and going to sleep now. cheerios!


PS i haven't yet upload the remaining pics coz fotopages is still hanging. sigh... and i've like about 80 more pics to go....

thailand trip...

i know this entry is like real late lor... but ha, well, i managed to complete it! haha....
i touched down SG at 10.20pm. 1st time taking budget airline, the experience was alright. other than the seats cannot be reclined much, it's free-seating, and i have to pay for my own meals, the trip on the plane wasn't all too bad. and the service on from the stewardess are just as good too!

the weather in Bangkok was awfully hot and humid. it got quite bad that not only did we got slightly burnt, it kind of got all of us abit cranky. plus the fact that we walked quite alot, we were tired and exhausted. it gotten quite bad that to an extend we didn't bother bargaining anymore - as long as the price quoted was good,we buy; if we felt it wasn't worth it, we walked away. it's a good thing that we didn't experience any rain or whatsoever. or not, i guess it'll dampen our mood further.

food wise, i think i'm still not used to roadside hawkers. even though i didn't get any case of tummy upsets, the environment didn't encourage an appetite even if i'm actually hungry. plus the population of mosquitoes seemed to be more than houseflies.... it's quite a turn off, really.

every market we've been to, other than shopping centres, reminded me of Bugis Street. despite that they actually carried vast collection of clothes and shoes, to me, they're homogenous. and it somehow got abit boring on what i saw from shop to shop. maybe i was looking out for some real differentiation and uniqueness in the things they carry. however, they do have some really nice and cheap clothes and shoes!

anyway, we happened to stay at the hotel where it's vicinity offers wholesale prices! and we only found that out on the last day of our trip when we're about to go back to SG. sianx...

if i was still in the corporate world, i would have spent more than i had. the things i've set my eyes upon are something i wouldn't see myself wearing till i'm out of Giordano. therefore, i can't help feeling i've made a "unfruitful" trip. nonetheless, when i'm ready for the office jobs again, i'll make sure i'll drop by Bangkok and really shop for REAL.

a couple of pics to tell more stories...
in the plane, looking super freshed!!

so we had our fun. and our retail therapy overseas was damn shiok... we're definitely hoping our trip was longer, but too bad. all good things just have to come to an end. oh well, there's always next time!! but the coming next time, it'll be my turn to buy!!

and i've updated my fotopages. the link is at the side of my blog.... enjoy!

my last rest day was on Thursday. even though i only worked for 4 days before i meet up with another of my rest day, i was quite exhuasted already. sometimes i'm wondering if it got to do with the shifts i have. i mean, one moment i'm working from morning, another i work in the afternoon....

this is my 1st time sleeping till 2pm. so SONG, feeling so recharged. =)

i'll upload my photos to fotopages later, since i'm quite free now and nothing else to bother at the moment.
