whee.
just got a pair of these today.




unfortunately, unlike in singapore where its "come back in 1 hour to collect please",
its "once the order is put in for the lenses, it takes about 1 and a half weeks".

so i guess that means it'll be about 2 weeks before i put them on my face.

cant complain i suppose.
didnt pay a cent for them,
and also got a pair of prescription sunnies for free.

ADVENTURE WORLD TOMORROW!!!!

1)
so those of you singaporeans who are super living in ulu times and dont know this yet,
MIKE PROPOSED TO XIAXUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

how the fuck she managed to get such a cute thing tied around her lil pinky is beyond me,
but if you havent already seen the proposal,
go and watchhhhh.

mike is a big sweetheart,
AND NOW I WANT TO GET ENGAGED MORE THAN EVER TOOOOOOO.

i say "more than ever" because MY poor bugger has been hearing non-stop about wedding plans for the last 6 months.

so far we have our guest and song list in uh, action.
i suddenly cannot find the word i am looking for.

but anyway.

it will be very funny if we break up.
actually it wont but you get my drift.

2)
the last time blogged about uni was about getting into curtin.
so murdoch i rejected my interview coz like i said before,
i already got into curtin,
murdoch and curtin = same for me,
and murdoch is further.

motherfucking uwa fucking rejected me like just last week or something,
with a NO SUBJECT email.
rude fuckers.

last year i had to CALL them and go EH HELLO GOT INTERVIEW ONOT
to which they replied oh yeah you do have one please come down on ......
cb.

ecu FIN-FUCKING-LY replied with my congratulatory letter
(duh, of course got in, its ecu)
like yesterday.

by replying soooooooo fucking late,
they made my decision of going to curtin x10000 easier,
because the closing date for accepting the offer to curtin was 17th of dec.

so harloe, you havent reply, how i know whether i got in onot right?
(i say duh of course get into ecu, but really, who knows lah right)

so of course i go and accept the curtin one lah!

stupid fuckers.

anyway so i think you gather by now that im going to curtin by now.

ask me in a year if i think i made a big mistake.

im already half regretting because the motherfucking curtin's online enrolment and student system or whatever, keeps fucking up on me.

i accepted my offer and did all the shit until step dunno what already,
but the damn thing keeps starting from the beginning every time i log in!!!

so every time i log in it wants me to accept my offer again.
@&*&(!&*#!@&*)!

3)
HELL YEAH NO WORK FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
the best thing about working under the title of "contractor",
is that i can take leave whenever the hell i want,
and for however long i want.

of course its unpaid leave,
but who gives a shit.

did i mention no work?
FUCK YEAH.

and i only got back 3 days ago. woooT!

its much easier to forgive someone for disappearing
when they can come right out and apologize,
promise to try harder to keep in contact,
and ask if we can all forget everything and try again.

of course,
only time will tell if it all works out,
and of course,
not everyone can admit wrongs just like that and put in enough effort.

its good to be friends again though.

ok so yesterday during the day,
i discovered an invisible tiny lump like a pimple on my chin.

anyone who knows me will know that if there is anything that isnt flat on my skin,
i will pick/press/squeeze/poke/prick it.
so i picked.

then in the evening it grew to the size of a 10c coin,
and it was hard and still invisible.

and i kept picking and attempting squeeze something that wasnt really there.

finally my skin broke and my lump oozed clear watery liquid.
and it didnt stop oozing for forever.

i was so damn freaked out because by that time it had grown to a 50c-sized lump.

went to see doctor today coz my chin was totally swollen,
and had a massively ugly and huge scab.

hence no photos of face today.
bar one that was taken in the dark and half my face isnt there anyway.
you can kinda just see it in that photo.

photos HERE

anyway.
the doc,
who was relatively young (and no, not cute. looks very guai guai) was soooooooooo fucking nice. like nicest doctor ive ever seen in my life,
said it was an under-developed pimple!!!

and coz i picked at it, it (surprise surprise) got infected and spread around the area.

so funny he even asked if i need MC!!!
i was like huh liddat also can get MC?
and he said some people they are embarrassed to see people like that (obviously he thought i looked pretty embarrassing) and it causes distress if they have to go out and see people!

so
for a tiny 28$ i got to see the nicest doc in the world,
antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and a tiny tub of cream.

how the fuck people in australia afford to see doctors i have no idea.

im motherfucking ugly at the moment.

great holiday!

ok so ive been in singapore for 2 days now.

1) first thing that happened to me when i arrived was the most unpleasant encounter with the most motherfucking ugly and guai lan cheers (the 24 hour chain of convenience stores that 7-11 now shares its previous monopoly with) worker.

this stupid and very extremely rude girl named SHARIFAH NURUL (normally i dont call people ugly or put their names up when i am dissing them on my blog, but this girl really deserves it and because of the way she was, i really dont give a shit if the whole world knows how shitty she is), was tending the counter when i rocked up, wanting to buy a singtel top-up card for my pre-paid sim card.

god knows why singapore needs soooooooooo many different types of prepaid options, from so many different providers, but this ended up with me having to stare at the board with all the different pictures of the different top-up cards for 5 minutes before deciding to open my mouth and ask (very reluctantly) the extremely black-faced malay girl standing in front of me behind the counter. who by the way, all this time, had not even so much as said a word to me. isnt someone working at a place like this meant to ask a lost-looking customer if they can help them?

so anyway.
conversation as follows:
me: "hi, can you please tell me the difference between all the singtel top-up cards?"
dumbass bitch: speaking very quickly and arrogantly "THEY ARE ALL THE SAME"
me: thinking *if THEY ARE ALL THE SAME SINGTEL WOULDNT BE SELLING 5 MOTHERFUCKING CARDS YOU DUMB SHIT* "uh, ok then can you tell me which ones have free incoming calls?"

(the last time i bought one of the cards it was 28$ for 100$ local and 28$ worth of international usage, but had no free incoming calls which was pretty damn shit for me coz everytime the boy calls, we tend to talk for ages and so the 100$ was going down like a waterfall. so this time i wanted to make sure i got a free incoming call one)

black-faced bitch: all have incoming call. you have to activate
me: *motherfuckkkkkkkkkkk you are such a dumb shit* "are you sure?"
brainless shit: "YES I AM SURE I USE IT BEFORE"
me: "ok, coz last time i bought the 28$ one and it didnt have free incoming calls..."
&#@*(&#@*&#) girl: "YOU NEVER ACTIVATE LAH YOU MUST ACTIVATE IF YOU NEVER ACTIVATE THEN CANNOT. YOU MUST CALL SINGTEL 96767777 AND ACTIVATE".
me: *did they forget to ACTIVATE your brain when your mother gave birth to you*. "uh ok never mind just give me the 15$ with bonus 15$ please" (just wanted to get something other than the one i got last time and try my luck with gettin free incomings)

MOTHERFUCK!!!!!!!!! this is the first face tourists who come to singapore see when they want to buy a drink/cigarette/mint at terminal 1!?!?!

i called singtel today, and the nice also malay lady on the phone told me that i have to just buy the normal top-up card, the one with no bonus anything, and then activate the free incoming call option to get free incomings.

so excuse my rage and rudeness but that stupid girl with the face as black as road and eyes that rolled around every 2 seconds like you were asking the most stupid questions in the world, was really fucking stupid.

2) singaporeans are motherfucking obsessed with their fucking phones and there are way too many damn accessories for every fucking thing you can think of to do with the phone. any phone.

for example, in one tiny ass shop about 15sqm, you can be the happy buyer of (but not only):
chargers- usb chargers, wall chargers, emergency chargers, car chargers
phone covers- silicone, plastic, rubber x 19839083981932 designs in each type of material
dangly shit- straps, chains, lanyards, figurines, plush

WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE NEED SO MUCH OF THIS SHIT?!?!???!

the thing i am most amazed (and also most weirded out) by is how some girls can have plush bigger than their hands dangling off their phone.

oh, you can also get dangly plushies that serve as screen cleaners. WHY CANT YOU CLEAN THE SCREEN WITH YOUR T SHIRT OR SOMETHING?!??!

i have nothing against screen protectors though. esp if you own an iphone.

ah well. i guess having options is a good thing.

3) i know i am supposed to be on holiday and therefore be feeling relaxed, moving slowly and enjoying the sights and scenes around me.

unfortunately, this being singapore and it being the festive season, it is also the height of materialism this december (as is every other december), i am instead finding myself stressed, hurried and wanting to close my eyes and hope that somehow someway something will teleport me to the other end of the underpass between wisma and taka.

why the hell am i in such a rush to get from one place to another??! the shops close at 11pm on a saturday night dont they?

and then i realize its because every other person around me is in such a hurry to get to god knows where, that they cannot afford the time to say "excuse me" so i can step aside and let them walk past me, or wait 5 seconds for the people to get off the train before they shove their way in.

also, DO PEOPLE NOT GIVE UP THEIR SEATS TO THE ELDERLY ANYMORE!?!?!?! and before anyone goes accusing me of not giving up mine, please note that i ALWAYS give up my seat to old people. i have a very soft spot for old people and cannot bear to see anyone of them suffer at all. i have no qualms about standing for the elderly.

unfortunately this trip i have always been either too far back in one of those double-sectioned buses, or have not been close enough in an as usual packed like sardines bus.

those 3 times the people in front of or next to the old people did not give up their seat but instead stared out the window/pretended to be asleep/were just plain heartless, were the 3 worst bus rides of my life because i could not stop thinking about what the hell i would want to do to those sitting people if they ignored any one of my grandparents like that.

for fucks sake these ah mas and ah gongs HAVE BEEN THROUGH WAR so that there is a motherfucking country where you can sit in your air-conditioned bus that goes on your smooth-as-shit singapore road.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay i think that is enough very angsty and vulgar ranting for now.

havent been taking many photos this trip but i'll try and do more in the next 7 days that i am here for.

photos so far are HERE though.
