I NEED TO STOP EATING!


the last week has been a complete binge-eating week! it was nonstop stuffing my face.


and today, for breakfast, you know what i had? butter on toast! well, not only that lah..had salami and cheese and lettuce and tomatoes also lah. but the bottom line is, there was butter! i don't even remember the last time i had BUTTER ON TOAST! i don't think i've had proper spreadable butter on toast since i got here!


i'm getting decadent! gosh...


someone! please! stop this madness!!


i tell you. food. this past week. food. omgosh. it was everywhere. sizzlers lah, dim sum lah, cybercity lah, sunnybank oriental lah. i tell you. i've resorted to wearing loose fitting clothes again. NOW! of ALL TIMEs! NOW! when the weather is BLISTERING! it's supposed to be time to shape up for bikini season grace. SHAPE UP!

frustration.


the boys that are responsible for my eating out so much this past week. grrr...
and the drink i'm sipping is called 'spider coke'. try and guess what it is.

it was AHMA'S 80th birthday on saturday evening. and my family threw her a huge birthday do. should have gone home for it. i WAS on break anyway. stupid caleb didn't get fired from his job and threw the whole idea in the can. sigh. i wish i had been there. it looked like it was such great fun. would have been a good excuse to go home.

sisters and girl cousins sang a song for her too. won't post that up since one of my sisters went off. hahaha...poor girl. the dress must have been a tad bit too tight for her.

surgery's started. and i'm quite enjoying i think. especially now where it's all orthopaedics. i think i just might be an orthopod at heart. i like learning about muscles, bones and joints. not to mention that it doesn't really need much brain power. and we all know how much i love to slacken my mind and just let it wander. be it in a good or bad way. *wink*

how does a girl turn down a guy nicely? like. say a nice guy asks her out. they're friends. and they've been out before for a polite-get-to-know-you dinner. but after the dinner, the girl is certain that nothing can go on and the guy should purely be kept at arm's length as a friend. but on the other hand, she really enjoyed his company and he's a really fun guy. night ends well. both parties are glad they went out. but both have different views on the outcome. the guy, from what i know, seems mighty interested and has actually asked the girl out again. for a romantic dinner with 'nice candles' etc. he tried to inject humourous flirtations at intervals when he's asking her out but he seems to be trying a bit too hard now since he's interested in the girl and is a bit more self-conscious.

what does the girl do? she's tried asking him to invite other people along, but has hit a snag. she realises that they're from two COMPLETELY different worlds and they have no mutual friends, only acquaintances, save 2 good friends, one of who, set them up in the first place.

what to do? what to do? how does a girl turn down a guy nicely?

my inner procrastinator is waking up.

in 2 months, i'll be back home. time's going to fly. and just when i'm starting to have fun. how ironic isn't it? and we all know what it means when it's time to go home. it's time to go shopping for souvenirs for my sisters! and there's only one thing they want, desire, accept, demand, covet. clothes. that also means, i get to go clothes shopping TOO!! hey...when in rome...

the full monty has OFFICIALLY become my favourite show. if you haven't seen it, then i recommend it. HIGHLY recommend it. had me laughing so hard, i was rolling on the floor, slapping the ground, clutching my tummy, with tears streaming down my face, mouth wide open in laughter. it was a potentially damaging period for my image, but it was well worth it. *grin* if you guys want to know. it's the story of 6 down and out men during the recession trying to find a way to make some money and gain some credibility. they each have their own story as to why they decided to do what they do. ie. to save their marriage, to prove to themselves that they're worth something, to try and save their time with their kids, etc. trust me, it's worth a watch.

did i mention that it's little girl xue mei's birthday today? she's FINALLY turning 18. will be going down to the Gold Coast this weekend to celebrate her birthday with her. not to mention initiate her into the world of womanhood. it's about time. der yin. think about it. this time next year or the year after next, you'll be here celebrating with her too! *dangling bait* i'm sure she'd love you being here with her.

listening to the soundtrack of 'GREASE' right now. unlike the full monty, it's MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE show. means it trumps the full monty. especially since it has songs in it which i love to sing along to.

'grease lightning, go grease lightning'

*points finger and moves it in an arc in front of the mirror*

'summer lovin' had me a blast, summer lovin' happened so fast'

*snaps fingers and swishes imaginary big skirts*

according to the late, great Nat King Cole,

love, is a many splendoured thing.
it's the april rose that only grows in the early spring.
love is nature's way of giving, a reason to be living,
the golden crown that make a man a king.
once, on a high and windy hill,
in the morning mist,
two lovers kissed and the world stood still.
then your fingers touched my silent heart
and taught it how to sing.
yes, true love's a many splendoured thing.

why don't i have that?
i want time to stand still when i kiss
i want to touch someone's silent heart and teach it to sing
i want to make my man a king.

but wait.

i don't have a man. gee...*bucket of cold water*

wow. this is the randomest post ever.
