Random Rants Again...



Cos I can't think of a topic to write on... :p

Even relaxation is hard work.....

http://www.boltcity.com/copper_022_sail.htm

Just like the Harvest Moon game Yenn mentioned on her blog, you have to go through a whole bunch of shit, accumulate and maintain resources, before you can start to relax. [If that time ever comes at all]

Guess the important thing is just never to lose sight of your ultimate goal. :)

And CONGRATS to Quet who's back on the blogging front! Missed it sorely... after all, when your frens don't meet up too often, it's one of the best ways to know what's happening in each other's lives. [But what's with the grasshopper?? Even I don't know what's that about]

Other than that... busy a little more... I've been snapping pix of the shirts yet unsold, intending to lelong them online. [Online store coming soon... hopefully... got other ideas for shirts brewing in my head...] Also got 2 virgo frens' bdays coming up, and busy with shopping and designing their presents.

Then I realised that another fren's bday is coming up too. *Groan* At this point of impending financial collapse in my life, expect self-designed cheapo gifts all around......

And Angie tells me there's a damn cute professor in bizad now! Tall, dark, manly, well-groomed with a voice to kill. Damn!!! Why is it all the good things [including cheap Genki Sushi] only comes up after we leave??

BTW Did anyone manage to decipher the coded parts of the previous post? Curious to know...

Flags.

Did we ever have discussions like these in NUSSUX when our assignments were late?

Going into Maid Mode



As a testament to my cleaning skills, I present to you my desk and table:


This was my desk, before I cleaned it on Monday. Piles of CDs, a tarot deck, Oliver and Riva hiding underneath all that, with more piles of bags, plastic bags, paints and other craft stuff on the floor. The only thing stopping me from piling more stuff on the table top was the fact that my laptop was residing on it.


This was the black table, piled with books, a couple of VCDs, and a few dalmatians fallen over at the side. Plus there are some postcards hidden beneath all those, and in the black basket.

And after cleaning:


Wah lau eh! I actually can see the table top now! And I can even tell that it's white!


My god! It's all so clear, I can even see the actual colour of the table! IT's BLOODY AMAZING!

I'm sooooo proud of myself. *Smug*

And this is just the 2 tables in my room. Gods you guys should have seen the floor...... Like, I can actually walk in my room without fear of slipping on an accidental piece of plastic and breaking my neck now. Or tipping over a cup of paintbrushes. Or knocking over a container of fabric paint.

It's so clean, I can feel the fengshui flow. Hee......

Speak Freely Now, or Forever Hold Thy Peace



While I enjoy having this blog and writing about the various uninteresting things about my life, [teh for breakfast. Gosh, what a surprise!] I have realised that a problem comes up when too many people start to read it.

I'm not too worried about strangers who don't know me, and who happen to stumble upon it. What matters to me are the opinions and feelings of people who do know me, and who read this blog.

How does one handle this problem? Some people, like Xiaxue prefer to just rant every single detail out at the world, to the point of posting pix of herself and her friends, so that the whole world knows what they look like. Hold nothing back.

Some like Re-minisce, have an almost aloof approach to their blog. This is all you'll ever see of me. Decipher what you will.

Me? I'm tightroping between the two. For my friends' sake, I won't post up pictures of their faces, or state their real names outright. I only use nicks and badly-airbrushed pictures to indicate their presences, and usually only people who know us well enough will know who I'm talking about.

But even this is not enough sometimes. Note the fiascoes that have come up time and time again with Dragonfly. Bleah.

And yet, if I were to completely hold back... the blog will lack a personal feeling. Everything on it would just be the pleasant facade to cover the chaos beneath. [Sort of like stuffing all the barang into your closet door, and then opening it one day to have all your stuff avalanche onto you.]

The Blogger's Dilemma. Hm, I think I just coined a new phenomenon. Hahaha...

But then that would take too long, and too hard to keep thinking of new ones.

Well, looks like I'd be sticking to the code names and imagery for now, like:

Now who got that?

More Random Ramblings



Bazaar on Friday was good, managed to crap some customers and sell 3 shirts, which at this point of time in my life, is the pinnacle of my business success.

Makes one wonder what happened during those 3 1/2 years I spent in NUSSUX.

But well, everyone else was lelong-ing their old stuff around us, so you could say it was the wrong distribution outlet... This lady in front of us was apparently selling off her old clothes for $1 a piece! WTF??

Anyway here's some pix. Yenn and Candle don' like their faces being placed on the Net, so they've been airbrushed for privacy:


The Area around the stall


The Stall, with Yenn and Candle

And of all the oddest coincidences, I actually met Bao, an old fren of mine who used to chase me and my frens around the Primary school compound for pouring orange juice into her mee hoon. Turns out she's working at the Center where we had the bazaar. Come to think of it, I haven't added her to Friendster, which is what I was supposed to do.... oops.......

Saturday my pigeons got released high, high into the sky by a fren, so I ended up shopping with Quet and A. Which landed me some serious damage to my bank account, but also one cute tube with a pink little cat embroidered in the corner, a tube of nose pore mask from Body Shop, [you have to ask what for?] and ironically enough, a book on the science of shopping from MPH. Meowz!

Then Sunday was spent shopping with Candle and Yenn, with Candle trying her best to singlehandedly boost the economy by her ownself. Go Candle.

Now it's Monday again and I have to bring my room through a long overdue cleanup. What with getting the shirts ready for the stall, and other assorted little craft projects I have, my little room's been turned from a disaster area, to a No Man's Land. Think tornadoes, hurricanes sweeping through it and dumping in it all the stuff it picked up along the way. Yup, that's pretty much what it looks like now. So this week I have to pick up the brooms and sweep up all the fengshui that's been gathering in it. *groan*

Are these guys for real? Or just gay?

Haven't done a quiz for a long time:
Sapphire
! You are most Like A Sapphire !
Dark, mysterious - but unforgettable. You have a
deep
beauty. Delicate, and shy you try to stay away from
the
limelight but often your intelligence puts you in
at the
deep end. You're like a Sapphire, because, your
beauty is priceless.
You're intelligent, full of opinions, and not
big-headed about it all.
Sometimes you need to put yourself out there, as
you can be a bit shy.
Congratulations ... You're the mysterious gem
everybody wants to have and learn more about.
