I was offered something today by a very kind soul whom I don't even know that would have saved me about $70-$80 buying Sammi's new album but I just couldn't do it, for a few very silly reasons.
1. I'm sure there are much more than 3000 Sammi fans and I just cannot bring myself to own 2 of these precious box sets when so many people out there are hankering for them.
2. I made a promise to the CD guy.
3. I don't want to owe them any more favours.
Sounds damn silly to me and I don't know why I didn't just take the free box set when I want it so much, but I just couldn't do it.
I wouldn't say no to a free trip over to HK for her concert though :)

Packing
I spent a couple of hours packing my room today, but it looks even messier than before I packed it, simply because I grew bored of the whole idea and started dumping everything on my table so I can continue the tiresome business another time.
Anyway I realised I have many, many things on loan everywhere. And there are some of my Meg Cabots that I am so sure are just with some of you but I can't remember who!!!!! Please return to me asap!!!
But before that I finally went for my two jabs today at Tan Tock Seng hospital. One is called the Mantoux (pronounced man-toe) skin test to test for Tuberculosis and the other a Meningoccocal Vaccine which prevents Some Disease To Do With The Brain. It's a painful and tiring process because I have to return to said hospital to retrieve my results on Friday.
But I'm looking forward to tomorrow! That's because I will be seeing my dearest Half again. And we will be doing something silly...heehee!!
Check back for updates!

I have weird friends too...
Seriously this is wasting my time but since Jamie and Gloree both tagged me I shall follow orders obediently. But I mean how am I at all weird? I am the QUEEN OF THE WORLD MAN I definitely am allowed to do what I want hehheh.
Each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list thier names.
1. I think old guys are hot. I'd take Hugh Grant, Andy Lau, Chow Yun Fatt, Louis Koo etc over young punks like Ashton Kutcher, Justin Timberlake and other ANYDAY!!! But ok that may be because it's Ashton Kutcher and Justin Timberlake we're talking about.
2. I think S.H.E is a pretty cool pop group. Ella is so adorable, Hebe is SO COOL and Selina is, well, Selina. I KNOW I AM LOSING MY SENSES SOMEONE PLEASE KILL ME!!!!
3. I think women are much hotter than men. There's just this quality about women that makes them all so irresistible, even to girls. And I have their photos and posters all over my room and desktop. I can name countless number of women that are super hot and I'm sure you will all agree with me when I say people like Sammi, Keira Knightley, Angelina Jolie, Honyi and Shitty are all SO HOT I'll bet they accelerate global warming.
4. I have to trip on the carpeting or some sort of flooring at least once a week. This is not a personal choice.
5. I keep a notebook where I record who owes me money and how much. I also have a few pages where I list all the movies that I've watched because I've watched so many that I accidentally watch something again because I'd f0rgotten that I'd already watched it. And I rate these movies on a scale of ten.
6. I'm always wearing the huge 32nd jacket that I love even though it's too big for me and makes me look fat and sloppy. F5 hates it and they think it's ugly as hell but hey! It's the most comfortable thing ever and I am SO bringing it to Brown.
I'm not tagging anyone!! This has been so dumb goodness!

Pissed
Whoever wrote on my horoscope in the beginning of the year that I'll have a great career track this year ought to be shot dead.
Well now that I think about it, maybe it's precisely because my career track is great, that's why I'm going through all this ups and downs and heres and theres. Maybe I'm just meant for something else, something better!
All I know is, I'm going to wonderland (hopefully) in a couple of months, whatever happens.
Shit is right, you never know what we can do. in a couple of years, or in 10-20 years, we'll come back and sit on their faces. Step until all their faces become pulp.

Everybody needs a Sammi
Aunt May said in Spiderman 2: "Everybody needs a hero."
I think everybody needs a Sammi Cheng.
Have you ever had a Sammi Cheng? You most probably don't know him or her, but it's that voice, that special quality, that familiarity that makes know everything is all right.
No matter how popular we are, how many best friends who are always willing to listen to us and share our pain, how loving your family is, there are some things that are just better when left unsaid. At these times, you just need a familiar voice to tell you everything is ok, that you will pick yourself up again.
You don't necessarily have to listen to Sammi Cheng though, which is why I say people need a Sammi Cheng. Your Sammi may be Avril Lavigne, or Good Charlotte, or Kelly Clarkson - whoever. But it's just someone whom you're so used to listening to, so used to watching, that the first voice you'll look for is his or hers. Especially when you don't want to talk to anybody.
I'm not a loner, but there are times when I really want to be alone, and just submerge myself in a different world, in someone else's voice.

Umbrella
Friends who know me and the anatomy of my Warehouse bag well enough will recognise a sneaky but essential character - my little Elmo umbrella, Ernie.
Fate plays a huge part in many things in this world. I can never forget the moment we met at Narita Airport last June. I'd been walking aimlessly down the shops, waiting for our domestic flight back to Tokyo from Hokkaido, and I entered this shop full of girly accessories. I took a glance, and almost walked out when I saw the row of umbrellas gleaming in the sharp, bright light. As usual I looked out for my favourite character, the Orange-Boy-Friend-Of-Bert Ernie, but I guess not enough people like him. So I had to choose between the other monsters, like bluish Cookie Monster, yellow Big Bird and reddish Elmo.
To be honest I don't quite fancy Elmo. In my impression, Elmo is a stuck up little fella (he hides it well) who's so proud of his fame and popularity that he HAS to appear 90% of the time on the show, wheras the guys who are genuinely funny like Cookie Monster and Oscar and of course Ernie and Bert are left to share the rest of the screen time along with the annoying ABC and 123 learning bits. The only reason I picked him was because he's red, and it's my favourite colour.
And in order to make it up to my favourite cartoon character of all time, I named my umbrella Ernie.
Ernie has done a lot for me, especially in the past 5 months. He has kept me company in all my trips to different parts of Singapore, shielding me from both the murderous Singapore sun and the havoc-wrecking tropical rain.
And that's not all. Being a tiny little fella, Ernie is unable to shield more than one person at any time. As such, unless necessary, I do not have to share my precious Ernie with anyone else.
But don't think that this is a one-sided relationship. I do show my appreciation on occassion! Every time I board a bus after it rains, I refuse to lay it on the floor of the bus because it's so filled with grime and dirt I'm so worried it'll stain my poor Ernie. I'd rather hold it for the entire journey than lay it down! I'd also fold his sleeves gently, making sure everything is nice and straight before I tie him up and slot him back home, where he can stay dry and warm. I'm very loving towards my Ernie!
