Fishbowl Insomnia

Listening to Dani California by Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Woar.. This week is progressing very, very slowly. Singapore Business Review finally went to print! I'm ecstatic. No more lunch that costs up to $10 everyday, no more climbing 3 flights of stairs everyday, no more having 30-year-old white men staring at u everyday. But then again, I will miss seeing jules everyday, even though her stupid whining about her broken heart irritated me. And I will miss Liy's weird antics, and Hajar talking about white men, and Kyle with his lovely sexy voice, and Pam and her 'wahrao!'.

HAHA. AYe.. so, i haven't blogged in awhile. Let me update u guys.

LAST WEEK I SCORED!

And this time it wasn't some rebound lucky shot, this time, it was planned and it was beautiful. hahahhaha .. i feel so fucking good. Ok, and i know u guys are gonna be like 'so what?' but the truth is that i'm a fucking tiny little junior player. There are 8 year old kids who play ice hockey better than me. And I still have a fucking long way to go. So, having said that, it is a big deal.

Yes. So. Moving on. On Sunday we went up to JB, i went with K2, and Daniel rode his bike in with Mun Jun, and Peter met us there. We went to see Howard and in the end we didn't even get to see him. So glam right. BUT, we did eat. And eat. And Eat. AND, I got to ride Daniel's bike! SO FUCKING FUN! See, last sat after hockey Mavis rode Arron's bike (in her sexay FBT shorts), and she said it was damn fun. And I have never been on a bike before. So, i decided to try, and JB is a great place for ur first time on a bike isn't it? HAHAHA .. yeah, it was damn exciting, a bit scary, but exciting. And Daniel drives really fast but he's steady so it was quite cool.

YARR. Anyhoo, David (Harry Potter) is leaving this coming monday, which is like, FWOAR DAMN FAST. So i think I should spend as much time as i can with him. And Steph is coming back on Friday! Yeah, now i finally have a girlfriend to hang out with. I realised that I only have 3 girls who are constant in my life now, Jules, Mavis and Pra. My two other favourite girls are overseas. So. It's quite scary. All my friends are boys. BOYS. And i am still single. How is that even possible?

I feel sad.

Lithium Creatives

Listening to If I Were You by Hoobastank

Got some new stuff that I spent a few hours on last night. I'm gonna re-brand Jaded inc / Subterfuge Ink. Gonna re-do the website as well.. I did 3 namecards, for my personal freelance work and stuff. Comments are welcome.

The bigger picture can be found [HERE]

This one's my main design. I'm probably gonna use this for my first set of namecards. The bird is my official logo.. It was inspired by Freddy, the chicken. haha .. I love Freddy, you see. Anyways, I finally managed to use illustrator properly. Learnt how to do proper vectors, instead of cheating and doing them freehand with my tablet. So.. everything is a lot cleaner, if you want to see the details, look below:

This is the skeleton of the vectors.. basically just highlighted everything and grouped them together so that u can see all the points of the vector. Some good, hard work. But it was fun. Especially since it's been so long since I've gotten time out to do stuff for leisure.

And this, is the other two sets of namecards that I did, Version 2 and Version 3, just some ideas that ran by my head after I did the logo. Very simple and clean. These will be my back-up namecards. When i have money I'll print a few sets. (:

We were meant to live

Listening to Geek in Pink by Jason Mraz



Watched the Da Vinci Code just now.. it was kinda disappointing man.. the book was so much better. Like two fucking thousand times better. I mean.. it's a tough story to put into a movie.. there's too much info. So in the end it gets really draggy with a lot of talking. And they didn't even reveal that her brother was still alive. Fucktofu.

Ooh.. the best part! My skates arrived today!! woo! so exciting.. went to skate just now, before the movie with david, peter, k2 and k2's friend.. was alright, i fell down loads of times.. getting used to the skates and learning new ways to brake. Haha .. but it's okay, i'm a happy girl. hehe .. David was fucking crazy, he was using the rental skates, which are like, really shitty figure skates. And he took those cones, not the small ones, the big ones that go up to waist level, and he fucking jumped them. On the ice. On shitty skates.

fuck. what does hanging out with david teach me?

.. Always carry a camera with you.

What if you should decide..

Listening to Square One by Coldplay

I just watched Elizabethtown. It was really good, made me all depressed because I wish I had what they had. It was the sweetest thing ever.. I want a boy - whine - I'm know I said I was too busy for a guy, but I'm starting to get bored of it. I wanna love someone who loves me back. I miss what I used to have. Sigh.. think I'm just gonna be emo and mope around for awhile, listening to Coldplay.

Elections

Listening to What To Do by Ok Go

I realised that the intro to 'You're The Reason I'm Leaving' by Franz Ferdinand sounds exactly like the intro to 'Do What You Want' by OkGo.

I am so observant.

Okay, I want to rant and rave. First of all, why the fuck is everyone talking about the bloody elections? We are fucking teenagers, in the throes of our last year of youth, and there we are, tired at 8pm, standing outside Ralph Lauren, so stoned that we started to salivate while one of our party talked for a full 5 minutes about politics (let me give u a hint, she has big tits). WHAT. THE. FUCK. Ok. Please, if you have some crap that you feel strongly about the PAP or whatnot, keep it to yourself. I still have 2 full years before I have the ability to vote, and for now, I would like to remain in blissful ignorance.

Now that that's out of the way, I shall rant about my second topic.

Fine Dining

See. I can not in all of my highly developed level of intelligence and my sharp intuitiveness, grasp why people would pay several hundreds of dollars on one meal. Let me first point out that with several hundred dollars, I can furnish my entire hockey gear set. Or, I could pre-order the latest Nike Bauer skates which weigh a freakish weight of 450 grams.

But yes, why the hell would anyone pay that much for ONE meal, I say. And THIS IS NO ORDINARY MEAL. You see, people make a reservation a month in advance, spend a lot of time 'dressing up' in what appears to be the most stiff and uncomfortable clothes in their wardrobes, put on 8 inches of make up and throw on they're most painful set of high heels that they can find, and go to a restaurant with an atmosphere to match their clothes. Basically, the whole place looks great, but it has got to be the most stressful and unomfortable environment ever.

You sit in a chair, keep your back straight, and try not to make any unnecessary sounds, otherwise the scary white man in the next table will glare at you. Next, u order a set meal, choose a 6 course, 8 course or 10 course, in which the prices doubles respectively. And then you wait, have some polite conversation, all the while keeping your voice down so that everyone in the restaurant is happy while everyone at your table is hunched over trying to hear you.

AND THEN, THE FOOD COMES.

My first thought was. What the fuck is that?

It comes on this huge-ass plate, with some great little sauce sprinkled tastefully around a piece of food that is not only unrecgonisable, but also barely visible. Why would anyone pay that much to have food that can be consumed in one bite? Why not get some mini oreos instead? And then you slowly progress through 6 courses of microscopic food while your entire attention is focused on not splattering any sauce on the table cloth which was probably bleached 7 times to make it so white that your eyes go out of focus when you stare at it.

And then the best part comes, you finish your meal, feeling slightly giddy from the immense stress and the amount of energy you put into picking up a tiny piece of food without making any noise, and the kind waiter sweeps over with your bill. And you pick it up and check the bottom line, and u realised that it's 3 digits, and if you doubled it, it would be 4 digits. You pay the waiter, tip him an amount that he doesn't deserve, and leave.

When you get to the carpark, you can breathe again. Why, I ask you, why, would anyone put themselves through that? I would much rather buy my hockey gear and spend the change on hawker food.

Ebay Addict

Listening to Crumbs From Your Table by U2

WE WON MALAYSIA! WINTERFLAMES VS. MALAYSIA 5-0, TOTALLY AND UBERLY SWEET.

hahahahaha .. so glam. Man.. I wish I was in KL watching the tournament. So fucking jealous, but Winterflames lost to UAE, who we're supposed to be better than. fuckey..

I am very sick of my website, first of all, i think I did a lousy job on the technical side, and secondly, it looks boring. I am fucking hooked on shopping for hockey gear, i've never splurged this much in such a short period of time. And the best part is that I haven't even been paid yet, so it's quite fantastic how smart I am.

But nevermind, because I got most of the things I wanted.. all that I'm missing is my stick, which David can't seem to find in Canada. Damn, ey. Oh, and I want hockey pants.. but that's not urgent. The fucker who I won the Dallas Stars Jersey from refuses to reply my e-mail requesting for the shipping charges, meaning that I most likely won't get the jersey. And there are NO OTHERS in my size on ebay. FUCK CHEEBYE. I'm officially pissed. Tomorrow I am waking up fucking early to bid on a Detroit Red Wings jersey, I don't care. I want it now.

PAH. I can't stop shopping. Well, actually, i've bought surprisingly little considering the amount of time I spend shopping online.. only bought three things on ebay and 2 of the 3 are from the same seller so the shipping costs less. Gahh.. I've cut down on one addiction and moved on to another.
