Anyway, it was a hilarous party and everyone was enjoying themselves.. This is really a cheerio bunch of people, a little geeky no doubt, but still very fun to be with...!

Most embarassing phone conversation

Ok, this was a very awkward situation.

I was looking through my wardrobe trying to make up my mind on what clothes I should wear for my outing today. Just as I was going to make up my mind, I had a phone call. It was from a UOB agent, trying to get me to meet up with him so that he can advise me on some insurance policies.

So, I went to answer the phone, in my birthday suit. The door was closed and the only other person in the house was my mom and she was sound asleep. Thinking that my door was securely locked, I did not give it a second thought and continue trying to get the agent off my back and end the call.

As I was just halfway through my phone conversation, when the really unexpected happened. My mother burst through my door! Gawd! I could have just fainted from the shock of my life!

There I was sitting on a chair, butt naked, trying my darndest to get the agent to hang up the phone and there was this half-awaken woman with hair sticking out all over her head bursting into my room without knocking, trying to get me to read out a message for her!

I froze! I couldn't even bring myself to exclaim to this crazy woman that I was naked and get her to get out of my room! Because I still had the agent on the phone and I did not want him to know that I was talking to him while in my birthday suit!

My mother on the other hand exclaimed, "Aiyoh, whatever are you doing in your room naked! Why are you naked?"
At that point, I really wanted to dig a hole, throw myself into it and never crawl out again. The agent on my phone must have heard me cos he stopped talking for a while and there was silence.

I firgured since he already heard my mum, I might as well shout for that woman to get out. So I went "Get out. NOW!"

She went laughing, get this, LAUGHING and then went out and closed the door after her! Had the nerve to laugh! Damn it!

I quickly made up some excuse to the agent and then hang up the phone. But I just have the strongest feeling that he was laughing with his toes at me on the other side of cos I could just hear his sniggers.. Damn it, that was my most embarassing phone conversation EVER!

After that, I went to confront my old woman.

"Would you mind knocking on my door before you enter? Its really rude and see the embarassment you caused me! And I was on the phone so you shouldn't have shout so loud that I was naked ok! So embarassing!"

"How the hell am I supposed to know that you were naked ah? And just what were you doing naked in your room?"

"To change lah! Then what the hell do you think I would be naked for?!"

In all my 25 years of living, I have never had such an embarassing phone conversation. And I was totally caught off guard. Darn it!

Crazy doggie..

I was using my iBook in my dining area one night and Ozzie was lying on the floor near me.. My sis was not around so she had no one to play with.

Most probably she was feeling very bored so she start to tear apart her pillow again. She was lying on her back and holding her pillow with her paws and biting and chewing on the poor pillow crazily.. She was actually so intense in her play that she did not even know that I was observing her in amusement!

Parrot has a very clever skill, it laughs! Like a normal human.. Whenever it hears us laugh, it will break out in chuckles and its like a cycle. We laugh, it laughs, then when we hear its laugh, we laugh even harder and so the cycle continues..

Burb.....

YES! I finally said the phrase that I wanted to say for a long time! I was approached by a salesman who wanted to sell me contact lens and I looked at him in the eyes and said "I don need contacts."

Wow! The exihilaration of saying these 4 words! After 17 years of shortsightedness, (I wore my first pair of glasses when I was just 8 years old), just by saying these 4 words alone was enough to make me go "YES!". I exclaimed so loud that a man standing in front of me on the escalator turned around and looked at the commotion behind..

Went to have dinner with DK. Initially wanted to go catch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but missed the timing so went to have dinner instead. Didn't realize I was so hungry until I thought of food. Finished the whole set of pig's organ soup with a whole full bowl of rice.. Burb.. Practically licked the bowls dry.. I also finished half of a Chicago cheesecake.. Hmm, ever wonder why cheesecakes are being named after American States? New York cheesecakes and now this Chicago cheesecake.. Are there really any differences..??

Oh dear, I think I am going to have gastric pain now..

How to forget

Jen makes the best of a Brad situation

Jennifer Aniston says she'll love Brad Pitt "for the rest of my life." But try as she might to be gracious and strong, the actress can't help but weep when she considers that Angelina Jolie might be carrying his child.

Writer Leslie Bennetts brings up the rumor in the new issue of Vanity Fair, where Aniston talks for the first time about her breakup.

Aniston, who has avoided reading the tabloids, looks as if she's been stabbed in the heart. "Her eyes well up and spill over and she cries for several long minutes," writes Bennetts. Aniston says she'd hoped to spend the last year being pregnant, and that she resented claims she didn't want to start a family.

"A man divorcing would never be accused of choosing career over children," she says. "That really p--ed me off. I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will!"

Aniston still calls Pitt "a fantastic man. I don't regret any of it. ... I really do hope that someday we can be friends again."

But Aniston's pals say Pitt checked out of the marriage as soon as he met Jolie on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." They note that he even failed to make the taping of her final episode of "Friends." When she reached out for her husband's support, she says, "He just wasn't there for me."

Does Aniston buy his claim that he didn't cheat on her before they separated?

"I choose to believe my husband," says Aniston, who nevertheless was hurt by that W magazine portfolio of Pitt and Jolie playing husband and wife.

"There's a sensitivity chip that's missing [in him]," she says. "I can ... imagine Brad having absolutely no clue why people would be appalled by it."

She also was wounded by the pictures of Pitt with Jolie and her son, Maddox, on vacation in Africa. "I can't say it was one of the highlights of my year," she says. "[But] you joke and say, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.'"

She also can't resist a wry dig at Pitt's new blond dye job.

"Billy Idol called," she says. "He wants his look back."

Its so hard to forget..

Tuesdays

I have a love-hate relationship with Tuesdays.

Its CSI day on Tuesday. And I get to see Grissom and gang perfoming magic in their labs with their amazing, but possibly fake equipment. And also get to hear witty and sometimes dry jokes cracked by them when they are performing their magic. Amazing..

The problem is that I always sleep very late on Sundays and Mondays. Sundays cos I don want my weekend to end so soon, and Monday cos I have yet to get over the fact that my weekend has ended. So effectively, I don really have enough sleep for the 2 days in a row already. When its Tuesday, and after a long day at work, I will become really sleepy after I return home.

Sitting comfortably in front of the TV, not wanting to move will definitely cause me to doze off. So you see the dilemma here. I really want to watch my favourite show but my eyelids are going against me.. In the end, I will always end up in front of the TV, with the earphones plug in, hugging a huge pillow and dozing off. Sometimes I would just jerk awake and try to concentrate on the show but I will always lose out in the end and doze off again.

Sigh.. And its only 9pm now and I am already starting to doze off.. How to survive until 11pm when the show ends?

I just bought a new toy yesterday. I am now official proud owner of a new K750i ! Hah!

And feeling really bored with nothing better to do, I have been taking pictures, making full use of its 2 megapixels camera, which was what attracted me to buy it in the first place..!

Take a look at the night lights in my neighbourhood!

Beautiful!

Random thoughts today

Take a look at the people around you when you are walking on the streets one day and you will find that its actually amazing when you think about the relationships that you are actually forming with them. You might not even talk to them at all but there is certainly a certain level of superficial relationship. Lets say you bumped into a little boy of 10 years old. Would you have thought that 10 years ago, this little kid was just born and then one fine day, you would rub shoulders with him?

Or to make it easier for the readers to understand my random chain of thoughts here, perhaps I should use a clearer example. Maybe 10 years ago, you were still a child but the bus driver who was driving you home from work was having a fun time playing truancy in school. You on the other hand were still in your diapers. However, its just this one fine fateful day that both of your paths crossed on the bus, he, doing his job while you, rushing to yours on his bus. Or maybe your girlfriend was just born when you were still a 2 years old toddler but then one fine fateful day, you crossed path with her and a beautiful relationship blossom.

Isn't it weird how our paths will cross with strangers and then start a relationship with them, no matter how superficial the relationship is?

Is there some kind of mathematical equations that will predict if 2 totally unrelated persons would cross paths one fine day?

I think I am confusing you readers here...

Help..

Ok, I need help.

For those who know me, you would know that I need to go back to JB for my lasik eye treatment. There is one last check up at JB and I have no one to go with me. I have been asking my friends to join me but the problem is that the day falls on a Friday and it is a working day so they can't excuse themselves from their work. It would be unfair for me to ask them take leave. I also can't postpone it to the following Saturday cos I am having a stock take in my company and I can't excuse myself on that day.

So who is willing to accompany me to JB? I really don want to go there alone.

And no, I am a poor girl after buying my new K750i phone so I can't afford to give any monetary rewards for your companionship!

Edit: The appointment is on the 19th of Aug. Anyone anyone?!
