life in JB

before i start my entry, here's a pic i took from my bedroom during the evening. ( Not editing done, the sky was really that colour ).Sometimes, we are too busy to notice that the most beautiful things in life can be found all around us.

I have an infamous second persona : I'm a scatterbrain and i do a damm good job at living up to my title.

I've lost lotsa stuff throughout the course of my life. Wallets ( at least 3x a year) , handphones, cash, textbooks, CDs, cash, make-up, stationary and random stuff that seem to disappear around me miraculously. The only thing i don't seem to lose is my weight. dammit.

Anyway, i topped my list on Monday, making all the other stuff I've lost over the years seem instantly insignificant. i lost my passport while shopping in Malaysia!!! Ahhhhhhhh!! i was SO Scared at customs and for those few panicky hours, i lived as an illegal immigrant. There was the language barrier, the fact that i couldn't get back home, the dread of explaining to my parents, guilt that i dragged bc and yuan into it and the fear of getting chopped into different pieces and having my organs taken out and sold in the black market. And i need to pay $120 for a new passport #$%#$@#$!!!!!

Oh well, its a lesson learnt, and i am going to try to be more careful and aware. Its strange how i can be so over concerned bout certain things but how i don't really give a fuck bout others. right now, i just feel so grateful to be Singaporean and wanna thank God for good friends and that I'm not stuck in some Motel in jb.

Anyway, moving on to something less painful. Being cheapo Singaporeans, BC ,yuan and i love to hang out at JB's city square for the sole reason that the movie tickets are S$5 hahaha. So on our recent trip, we caught Ang Lee's new movie, Lust, Caution.

For those people who are living on the hilltops, the screening of Lust, Caution caused alot of controversy because of the steamy sex scenes between Tony Leung and Tang Wei. Being UNIQUELY SINGAPORE, our government decided that here in Singapore, we locals would not be able to stand the atrocity of seeing two good looking people doing something perfectly natural and should therefore have the scenes cut. Kinda ironic that we're promoting Singapore as this vibrant Artistic hub in Asia huh. Like we cannot buy DVD. The cinemas in JB cut the scenes as well, and it seriously did destroy the atmoshphere and character building the show was trying to create.

Trailer for Lust,Caution:

Spoiler ALERT! On the overall, the show was VERY GOOD. What i love most bout the show is the VERY good acting, Tony Leung and his heart piercing gaze, the plot, cheongsums, the porecelin beauty Tang Wei and the vast potrayal of emotions throuhgout the show. But nothing beats this part of this show where TangWei shows millions of viewers across the globe her really realllllllllly ong armpit hair. hahaa. When the horror appeared on screen, my elegant image of her got smashed into a million bits. Heard that Lee Ang found women with armpit hair really sexy...well....i doubt he'll find ME sexay anytime soon then. Anyway, everyone should go watch Lust, Caution and we'll all start out Tony Leung fan club!

digressing *
There are many types of people in this world. the smart asses, the dumbs and the in betweens. The inbetweens are the ones you just dont get. They baffle you with the absurd things they do despite having the ability to comprehend everything that is going on. Like how some people smoke despite knowing its bad for them, and how some people keep hanging on in the same relationship despite knowing its meant for failure. i know such similar people in my life.

*Quit SC. WWJD.

a ride from hell

SAY NO TO BAD BUS ETTIQUETTE!!!

its been like ages since i've blogged and now that i am, i should actually be studying. oh well. but i must i must blog about something that happened today so that years later i can look back , read this entry and remember this eventful day. hahah

it all started when i took the bus home from school.

normally at about 6 plus, it gets really crowded on the bus, but today i managed to get a seat right behind the driver's! i felt so grateful and thanked God cause i was sooo tired. But lo and behold, a few stops after me ( the bus was really crowded by then) this retarded guy came up the bus. he was wearing this huge Einstein specs which magnified his eyes, and was limping on a walking stick. The person beside me gave up her seat for him ( stupid bitch, if i knew what he was going to do, i would have gotton down the bus!!!) . right, here's where it all began

half way through out the journey, i started getting drowsy i was gg to fall asleep. That's when i realised that he was looking at me. ( that;s right, thru his magnified specs). and all of a sudden , he SNEEZED AT ME!!! while looking striaght at me!!! i was like WadddddTF?!!!? i felt as though a disease was spreading all over me..%#&%^ and that was when he SNEEZED AGAIN! right in my face! FUCK! i wanted to cry soooooo bad......................!!!

i have a pet peeve. ok its more of a peeve i avoid like the plague. i hate it when ppl sneeze and dont cover and i totally cannot STAND B.O. Well. he had both. i dunno why but after he sneezed, i smelt this huge stench. Having no plastic bag nearby me, i rummaged my bag for my nearest survival kit- anna sui minature perfume. *note. Everyone should get one of these minatures, saves u from such events. anyway, i literally poured the perfume on my wrists and breathed the perfume during the journey. i wanted to get down the bus so bad u have no idea. unfortunately, we were on the CTE which was jammed all the way to my house. lucky me!

Oh. and as if that was not enough, Mr Good Hygenie here started to dig his nose. and and he has 6 fingers!!!!!!!! i have absoultley nothing against ppl with 6 fingers except that it allowed him to dig out more shit. thats all. PUI**!! he started rolling his shit into a ball with three of his fingers. and he did that all throughout the rest of the journey. By the time i was going to alight, i was so afriad that the ball of shit would be so big that it would block my passage way. totally reminded me of one guy in my sec school who used to roll up his own nose shit and ate it. To top things off, BC was laughing at me the whoole journey ...BEECHEE!!! hahaha

:( i feel dirty. literally. no amount of dettol will help me :(

lesson learnt: next time, at 6 plus, i will just stand. EEK.
