Fairytales do come true.

Some things that just popped into my head: -

1) Bra straps are such a bother!!! Have to adjust here and therelah, to make it longer so that I can criss-cross them…gah! I think I spent 20 minutes fiddling with BRA STRAPS alone…

2) Jarod sprained his ankle yesterday while playing football. So today I wasn’t sure if he could drive to go out with me. When I called him at 10am, he said it’s not a problem, he’ll come over to pick me up. Then at 10.23am, he called again. This time I was wary and prepared myself for “sudden changes of plan” i.e. he found that he can’t walk, much less drive.

“Hello?”

“Darling ah?”

[ Red alert! He never calls me “darling” unless he wants something or variation of that. ]

“(suspicious tone) Why?”

“Darling ah, *anticipation* … I cannot put my foot into my underwear, so today I don’t wear underwear-ah!”

-_-||

Silly doink doink.

Anyways, today I would like to show you my new tank

The 3-feet tank arrived about 2 weeks ago, all bare and empty. After several trips to Xian Leng for the plants and some new fishies later, I’m glad to say that the new tank is all lived in now! In fact, I only moved my own fishes from the small tank to this one on Wednesday (four days ago).

Weee! I never expected my dad to buy a new tank so soon, but his decision is motivated by the fact that my female molly gave birth to like…10++ little baby mollies. Once they grow up, the small tank will be too overcrowded, so he got a new tank. Heh. Ironically, ALL the baby mollies died. I do have 2 baby guppies still surviving though

This new tank has the full set-up man..CO2 system, ADA lights, ADA soil, double filtration etc. Hehe..I’m so happy! At first I thought all these new fangled additions will be too much for my beginner small-tank experience to handle, but an aquarium is pretty much self-sufficient. Only need to feed them daily and change 20% of the water weekly, wash the filter wool once a month, wash the bio-rings once in a while… Hehehe.

And I must say, my female molly approves of the new tank, because on Friday, my maid told me that there are little babies hiding in the foliage! Two days into the new tank and she’s gave birth already! So I scooped all the babies out and placed them in the net-tank at the upper left of the picture…there were about 20++ of them this time!

I hope they don’t die! The previous time, I suspect that they died because I put medication into the water to treat Papa Molly’s pop-eye. Now, I shall err on the side of caution and not put any medication in, even though it’s a larger tank and Papa Molly still have the disease. But hey, to jeopardise 20++ innocent lives to cure 1 molly? Not fair, right?

Okay! Off to get ready now. Jarod will be reaching anytime now We’ll be hitting MPH’s and The Times Warehouse Sale today! Bye!

Silly doink doink and AhJin.
Heh. Just noticed my head looks awfully scary because it doesn’t seem to be connected to a body.

…Pink saves the world with “Stupid Girls“.

It’s good to know that there ARE some popstars left who do not seem to think that “boobs + ass = a hit single” make.

Go watch the video.

:P

Three Doors Down - Here By Me

I hope you’re doing fine out there without me
‘Cause I’m not doing so good without you
The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood

So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong

Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love…

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you’re not here

Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
Everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

Jarod included the lyrics above in one of the emails he sent to me while I was in HK.

Reading back on the emails made me recall how steadfast you are. You are my rock.

“Don’t worry too much, we’ll be fine.”

The winners for the Super 9 week: RM199,999 contest was announced today.

Yes, I said “winners”.

44 of them, to be exact.

The math works out to each of them getting RM4,545.45 out of the RM199,999 pie which they were all aiming for.

Heh. I don’t know if I would be damn pissed or grateful…so near yet so far eh, folks?

Some of them might have spent RM1000 (more or less) to buy obscene amount of TheStar just for the entry form..so yeh. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, ladies and gents.

This is the ranking for the Super 9 week. Let’s see how the masses’ thinking match up to FoongJinTheWonderful.

What I’ll do with RM199,999! (in descending order):

1. settle my debts (Nothing wrong with this. Good thinking, in fact.)
2. invest in a new home (Yeah, and start financing the home loan..ie a new debt. SMART move.)
3. go on a dream holiday (Mmmm yes. RM200K is a lot of dream holidays rolled into one…)
4. buy a brand new car (Not necessary AT ALL, unless your car is a piece of junk held precariously together by several rolls of duct tape and takes half a morning just to get the engine running. I mean, if you want a good car in the medium price range, it’d cost about RM100k. HALF the money blown on a car. WTF? Cars just to travel only mah. Wasting money. NEXT!)
5. go on a shopping spree (WAHAHAHAH! YES. THIS SHOULD BE NO. 2. OMG WHAT WERE THE MASSES THINKING! The stuff that I can buy with RM200k - new handphone, clothesclothesclothesclothes, shoesshoesshoesshoes, bagsbagsbagsbags, booksbooksbooksbooks…*dreams on* In my defence, we have to wear CLOTHES and SHOES and carry BAGS everyday for the rest of our lives.)
6. save for a rainy day (WHAT! This is at number 6?!!! Have we forgotten what we learned in Primary School? That saving is good? Sigh..we are indeed a materialistic society.)
7. donate to charity (Good good. I read that Pure Lotus Hospice of Compassion in Penang wants to set up a home for AIDS patients and are lacking RM10mil. Go donate. And men who screw around with prostitutes and get AIDS and then pass it on to their wives are fucking assholes jerkfaces and should burn in hell. They brought upon this mess and have the gall to die and leave the wife to handle raising the kids singlehandedly, probably taking care of the dependants [i.e. other family members] and working to earn minimum wage ALL BY HERSELF. Sometimes I wonder, with all these hatred and scorn for men inside me, why am I not a lesbian? You know, I was really serious in the last sentence.)
8. get an image makeover (OMFG how the fuck did this even get on the list?! RM200k for an IMAGE MAKEOVER?! If by IMAGE MAKEOVER you mean FULL BODY + FACE PLASTIC SURGERY, then I understand. Plenty of people need this, but still, it won’t hide the ugliness of their personalities. *fumes at certain people in class today*)
9. Further my education (WHAT! This is the last thing that anyone would pick?!?!?! I am in a state of total shock! Wah you think RM200k is enough to live on for the rest of your life ah? Oklah…I know most probably the majority who entered this contest have completed their tertiary education, so I shall magnanimously let them off the hook. But I saw among the 44 winners, there are definitely some of studying age there, SO WHERE ARE YOUR PRIORITIES MAN?!?!?!)

My god. Frankly speaking, I am quite flabbergasted. The results were unexpected. Tsk tsk. Okay, now you do! Faster faster! Then we compare results, ok?

Done?

My vote would have been:

1. further my education - Wot! Can go UK already ok. I WANT LAH.
2. save for a rainy day - Duh! Common sense, right? Plus, medical bills damn expensive wei. I RARELY (and that’s an understatement already) eat vegetables and always consume unhealthy stuff, so better make sure I have enough in the bank to buy me a new organ from the black market. Oh that reminds me, my Biology/Physics/Chemistry tuition teacher informed the class that a kidney is worth about RM40k on the balck market. “Jual satu pinggang, boleh beli satu Kancil” were his exact words. Lol. Boy I miss his classes.
3. buy a brand new car - Cos I have no brand old car to begin with. I shall buy a Kelisa and the rest of the money shall be used to collect interest for my petrol.
4. go on a shopping spree - Happy? I demoted it from no.2 to no.4. I’ll probably take my family + friends on a shopping spree lah. Heheh..okay, MAYBE. Only if you promise me you won’t buy Gucci, Versace and the likes.
5. go on a dream holiday - This was a close fight for no.4 man. But then ah, I have a faulty memory, so no matter how wonderful the holiday is, I sure cannot remember properly wan…quite a waste of money to blow it all on something that will remain abstract for the rest of my life lah.
6. donate to charity - And also use my immense financial influence *ahem* to amend the law to castrate rapists and men who go to prostitutes.
7. settle my debts - Actually, I wanted to put this higher…like to settle off my parent’s debts lah, but then it says MY debts. Currently stands at RM0. But still it’s not the last place because I will use it to settle my parent’s debts
8. invest in a new home - SO not applicable! Can’t afford to move out now. Anyway, RM200k is NOT enough to buy a nice spacious TERRACE house even. Bleh.
9. get an image makeover - Heh. DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH! I’m not about to spend RM200k on AN IMAGE MAKEOVER OMG SO STUPID.

Ah well, NO POINT DREAMING LAH NFJ. Oh yeah, and that goes out to all the 44 winners who took back RM 4.5k each, too.

On another slightly unrelated note, THE AIR FARES ARE SO FUCKING CHEAP OMG! Return air ticket + 3 nights accomodation + daily breakfast IN HONG KONG IS GOING FROM RM 463. OMG OMG OMG BOOK ME A TICKET NOW I GO HK DURING SUMMER HOLIDAYS OMG!!!! GOT SUMMER SALES OMG OMG!!! BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!! WO YAO!

Of course, I realise the irony of the situation now. If I had won even the RM4.5k, I would not be whining and pleading for someone (*coughs*parents*coughs*) to buy the airfare for me. Shit. Life sucks, sometimes. Damn you people.
