Some place to help me add some spice to the dull n boring moments in my day!

I am in a floating kinda mood today. Asking the people on my msn list how they are doing. Haha.
Supposedly on leave tomorrow, in preparation for a gd long weekend. But I don't feel as excited now.
Some funny question propped up during lunch this afternoon.
Colleague: What would you do if you realized your husband was a transsexual? Me: I will faint. *laughter* Me: Actually, it depends. If i can get over "his" past, then it will be ok la. But if i cannot separate the his past and his present, "he" better bring me for counselling.
I never know how much crap I can generate until i see it. Was talking abt Spiderman in NUS. In response to that, foxy told me that it wasn't that bad. Some guy share his bible and loud voice in the library some years back.
So I asked, "how come no one did anything?" "If it was me, i would go and tell the librarian." and look at the rest of the conversation that results:
Amigos para siempre... says: or. i mimic the monk nian jing and knock my pencil agst textbook and start saying "bo luo mi xin jing" WAHAHHA somemore must sit next to tt nutcase so tt the divine power can combine
Hot And Crazy~ -random says: then u must nian very loudly read loudy is easy but i never hear a monk nian very loudly b4
Amigos para siempre... says: then library can throw both of us out. no need. i just nian into his ears can alr.
Hot And Crazy~ -random says: then u go find someone co-star sun wu kong
Amigos para siempre... says: u lo. haha
Hot And Crazy~ -random says: as u chant, he roll all over the place and say Shi fu Bei Nian Le =.=
Studying gets creative in NUS. Was directed to this video by Rong-er.
Spidery creeps into the ever famous-cramped-library during the examination period. He senses danger, swaggers all over tha place, jumps over some chairs, finally out of the place and can't make the filmer stop laughing.
On some aftermath, was kinda disappointed today. When you discuss something, no matter what the outcome, I think it is basic courtesy to just update. But that did not happen. Could have been that i expected too much. Friends never fail to amaze, don't they?
But anyway, i was glad that i could repeatedly try to become positive. Guess that's most important right? So here goes my thought, just to round up this tiny episode today.
Today has been good. With some sleep, and lots of movement. As always a kid at heart, i enjoyed taking photos with my Canon G10. Today's topic was: Taking photos by modifying apertures. Yes, it was kinda interesting. Slp. Mt Faber. Marine Parade. Bugis. Took quite a few photos at Mt Faber and Looking forward to more...
Ya, i am very full now. After having buffet dinner at Holiday Inn and drinking a few sips after that. Hohohoho~ Project outing followed by fellow colleagues' gathering. Fun!!
Think i will have a cosy sleep tonight, but not before i settle all my stuff. Hmm...Still waiting for a gd night call from someone too...Waiting...Waiting...Hahaha. Guess he is asleep now :)
Maybe, i can try to train up my liquor level, in preparation for my "xi jiu" 3 years down the road. Hahaha....Used to hate the taste a lot. I still hate it, but less.
I still have a whole list of wants. ~specs~contacts~tops~dresses~shoes~drawing pad~photo training session!! (almost forgot all abt it!!!)~lotsa photo taking, which i shall fufil on my Southern Ridges walk trip coming labour day.
Arguments after arguments. I am so sick of taking n taking n taking in. It is making me feel so seh.
First, I had a same old disagreement with the same old colleague again. Sigh. Why does this always have to happen? Can't one say less, while the other listen less? I really hope that someone out there can give me some space, and just hear me out, instead of preaching, preaching and preaching. Just give me some benefit of the doubt that i do know where i went too off, and i am making an effort to make things better. Can? I do the same to others too you know. But right now, the best way is to focus on the facts, rather than the person, to take away the negative energy. I definitely do appreciate, but this is seriously, too much for me.
Where friendships are concerned, silly arguments have to make way. Definitely.
A glass is filled with 50% water. A says "the glass is half full", B says "the glass is half empty". Neither parties are wrong. Something bad happens when both A and B insists on their point of view and refuse to compromise. That is the case it is happening now. And that is where my arguments stem from. I just gotta try and be as positive as i can. Focus on the matter. Not the person. If someone has to give way, i will have to try.
Having read the ever famous "Marley and Me" by John Groban, watching the movie was less of a kick. Nonetheless, the story at the back still moved me to a few drips of tears, and some runny nose. Still, it was much better than reading the book, where I had to close the book after reading each paragraph of the last two chapters. That was sheer torture.
So, how did i reduce a bucket of tears to a few drips? I "watched" the movie with my ears. Both visual and sound effect would have much devasting effect, and it amazes me how visuals could play a trick on our emotional glands. Humans are complex creatures indeed. =================
Money and Me.
It is important to insure oneself for a good hospitalisation plan. Without money, we are as good as sub-citizens. I know of a story whereby a worker at the construction site suffered from multiple hair-line fractures as a result of a fall. Guess what the staff from the public hospital said?
She told him to come back after 4 days for a scan, and meanwhile, just make do with painkillers. Replace the victim with some ministers or ministers' spouse. Would the treatment have been any different? I would guess so. Prompt treatment, first class smiles, undivided care. Here's how realistic the world is. No money (status) no talk.
Are we saying that the construction site worker is a lesser human than anyone else? The Hippocratic (Hypocritic) Oath indeed.
Yes! This is so terribly irritating! (Though technically, I have a 1 yr old niece. But that's not the point.)
Within a span of a 2 days, 3 people called me auntie, just to piss me off! That brings it to an average of 1.5 irritating pain-in-the-ass per day.
No la, actually, I am not angry with the people. But................. Am I really so auntie???????? (Maybe that statement already sounds like one.) I wanna be 小姐leh... Hahahaha.
What's so wrong? Do i have a big funny mole on my face? HUH?
My Specs? (Frameless) My Looks? (I'm borned with that) My Mannerisms? (Old habits die hard).
Or maybe.... ALL OF THE ABOVE.
=.=""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Don't tell me I am stuck with that role. I AM ONLY IN MY TWENTIES!!
Why that title today? Because i am so very upset just before i wrapped up my day in office. I am someone with a short attention span. I cannot sit down and quietly watch time tickle by. I fall asleep within 10 secs if the presentation does not interest me, and spend the next 99.9% of the time pinching to keep myself awake. I cant say i have been very successful though.
I just tell myself, that sometimes, having a short attention span is good, in giving yourself many chances to experience news things and move on, until you find something that really intrigues you. So what is intriguing enough? When i can constantly find new things to grow and develop with.
Nonetheless, i am someone dedicated in work too. So, i was very upset when my colleague told me "i dunno what you have been doing.". I told him that i couldn't finish my presentation and was accused of dilly-dallying. My response to that would be: I did the presentation as at the pace good for my own understanding. Is it wrong to do that? Point(s) being:
1. I hate sweeping statements. Especially when people do not understand the situation fully and pretend to be know-it-all. That attitude sucks.
2. Sometimes, the whole purpose of work is not merely to work. Especially when you can define the quadrant which you are in, and you know you can add further meaning to what you are doing by enjoying it. People who are only keen in finishing their own work a.s.a.p. will never understand that. What's the whole purpose if you only slog, slog and only know how to slog yourself haggard? I do not need to be taught to prioritise my own time, because, i deem myself to have always delivered on time, and planned properly, unless people give unreasonable and last minute additions. Who will know the effort that is being put in?
Anyway, just to rant about it and remind myself not to be too quick to judge. 对事不对人。
Let me try to be positive. I had a good fish soup. With just $3, i get lotsa fish, flavourful soup (tomatoes, sichuan preserved veg, lettuce, fish n more fish, dried fish, parsley, dried onion, dong cai). Simply Yummy. I would not even have realized that so much goes into the soup until i list the ingredients down.
