I dont know why, this really cracked me up! hAHAhah

Okay ive been feeling down & kinda stressed since ytd night when i told myself i wanted smth very very badly but i can't have it unless i sacrifice smth else which obviously is much more impt than the thing i really do want.

I alwys told myself, it wldnt be worth it to have loads of money anw. Because it isnt like what you'd think it would be.
You want that money cuz you want that big house (it wld make you better than everyone arnd you and make your life better), but if you did have tht big house, you won't have that "everyone" arnd you anymore, its a different "everyone" alr. It wont be the friends you were trying t impress in the first place. It'd be the friends who have the same size mansion as you, and you wld feel the stress to top them. Yet again, wanting to be richer.

I knw i probably dont make sense anw.

But at times like these, i wish i had just a few more bucks in handy. Just for me to be able t sleep at night, not stressing over the things i really want.
Though maybe i should wish to not be materialistic instead of to not be poor.

I went for an open house today. I like the way the speaker spoke! Good presentation skills, i wanna learn!
And i feel like doing double major! Lol.
I always choose the degrees with ___ AND ___, those 1 major don't appeal to me. Dont know why.


Im actually very anxious to study.
Although the idea of staying home, shaking leg and earning big bucks is very appealing as you get others to tend your business.
But i dont think i can live that way.
I wanna go out and do stuff. Projects, learn stuff, be busy.
:D

But kinda busy now, don't know when i can even start school :(
Sssssigh.

Did i tell ya, someone booked us for a doggie party already?? She came all the way down from the north side to find us!




AHAHHA, this dog is DAMN scared of me, look at his face!! :p



Ion is so nice! But i havent been inside.
(Though i really realy hate them for the ton of electricity they're wasting...)
But i heard the Burger king there is awesome! I wanna try their desserts! They have like some milo thing with milo powder and chocolate. And some honey stars dessert. Whatever, it sounds damn awesome!

Nowadays though, I am addicted to frozen yoghurt^^
I tried to make my own, using the "natural plain yoghurt" which is like damn disgusting?? Lol.
Fail.



Yucks.
Hope he's getting slimmer though, as he's been skipping school to go to the gym.
Like, the malaysian co-worker. Haha, secret joke :]

That's how we make home-made popcorns!



Well, so sad, i dont have lots of pictures nowadays. I kinda lost the mood t blog as i've been tweeting all day :p

I just wanna do some updates for those who are still reading!

First of all, HDB has approved my Pet cafe! Really happy :D
Probably can open by the end of this month or so. Doing the finishing touches now!
Anyway, if you wld like to support me, could you spread the word i'm selling some Pet accessories and clothes here?
http://hernittygrittys.livejournal.com/40951.html

Yup! This will be transferred to the real website later on though.

Second of all, i think i'm probably going back to school after all. I would feel really incomplete if i didnt. In life, i just wanna do as much as possible, and that includes knowing for a fact i can actually obtain a degree and do stuff with it.
What more, i have lots of opportunities to be waiting for me and im excited! Who knows i can be writing in a magazine one day. Lol! Or radio dj... Hahaha!!

So recently, i told myself not to come online too much. I dont think its very good for one's wellbeing.
Like 99% of my time spent at home is on the laptop. I havent watched tv in ages!!
But okay just ytd, we all had this Desperate Housewives dvd marathon and it was awesome!!
I wasnt online for 24hrs. Hahah, but i was so anxious about my e-mails. Omg.
And now im online actually fixing up my cafe's website :D

Please stay tuned during the following weeks! Launching a lot of stuff and i need my full audience:D

Is he slimmer???


Astons round 2! Yumyum^^


Steak


Chicken. Eeeew i hate when my food touch each other.
&Omg look! I never even think when i order. I actually ordered mashed potato AND fries for my side order. Both potatoes, both carbs.

Its like when i eat potatoes and rice. Both carbs!
But i luv potatoes.

Anw,
We watched Duplicity ytd. Its kinda draggy and boring, but the ending was good! Its the kinda show tht starts out super super complicated and then gives you one and final answer at the end, which makes you go, Ohhhhhh.
Julia Roberts is expiring, me thinks.

~


Why do people complain about being fat but do nothing about it?
Do they do it just to fish for "No you're not!" compliments?

And instead of complaining about how tired they are from working out at the gym, how hungry they are from dieting.. They rather complain about how much they've eaten today, yesterday, the day before, accumulated and further on complain on how much all those food is gonna add to their waistline.

-_-

Its like how Simon scolded me a few days back, for complaining that im hungry but not bothering to go and get food.
Do smth about it. Nobody likes to hear you complaining day in and day out about you being fat then eating a heap of food.

Not referring to anyone in particular. Srsly.
Just seeing my frds dieting, gg to the gym and taking all sorts of funny supplements, and on the other hand seeing some others sit home all day eating and sleeping.
Lol.

Watched Obsessed today. Actually not very nice, though Beyonce Knowles is acting in it and she's so foxy :> But its super predictable lah. Its like the whole movie is in the trailer alr. I knw thts the pt of the trailer, but maybe cuz the plot only has so much happening.

I guess dont watch the trailer then? Lol! But its the trailer that makes you wanna watch it.
And it goes in a cycle...



Haiya, i feel damn nauseous today. Like sick but not sick, moody but not moody, headache but not headache.
-_-

A lot to say but nothing to say...



Today i kena horned at 2 times. Make that the FIRST 2 times i ever got horned at.
Like HELLO! Cannot see L plate is it??? Who knows today is my 1st day driving, and you still wanna scare me.
And this stupid sports car, after horning me, he come and play with me. SWERVE IN AND OUT IN FRONT OF ME.
ASKING FOR IT ONLY!!
I tell you later i go stun, bang your precious sports car and blame you for making me panic!

Sigh.
Im still not smooth. Should have taken Auto right... What's the pt of taking Manual.

Anw, i told my sis i'll buy the car from her but you know what she said?
"You think im gonna let you drive??? You wait 1 year then you can drive"
"I let you drive til Pasir Ris only" (3 MRT stops away frm my house)
"I cant believe i was your age when i started driving. Disgusting. Now i know why parents dont let their children drive"

Unreasonable sister!!! Act so old but only 4 yrs older than me.
Now i regret all the times i call her an aunty. She rlly acting like an aunty.

!£$%^&
Its so pointless to get my own car. Because then her car will be rotting since no one use.
How how?





ANYWAY!

Friday

Went to Holland V for century egg porridge @Crystal Jade, and ice cream at Cold Rock!
Honeycomb+cheesecake flavoured ice cream + violet crumble.
YUM X3!!!

Im surprised the scene at Holland V is very alike town. A lot of pple dress up just to stand around at the road sides.
But don't know what else is good there except good food??? And Wala wala.





FAVOURITE SNACK OF ALL TIME!!!


I loved it since i was a kid! And i first found them in Indonesia actually. Its the only cheesy snack with the real cheesy taste ;p


Saturday

Came back to have steamboat with Mummy at Liang Seah.
I was craving for the steamboat+bbq, the scallops and chilli fish! But guess what, the "boss" at that "tian tian huo guo" was being a dickface.

He asked us how many pax and we said 2, then he said sorry no seat. Then we found a empty table and we asked another guy, he asked us to sit first and he cleared the table for us.
Then the "boss" yelled at him and said, no more no more.
(Right in front of us, he gave some 4pax our table)
My mum screamed at him after that.

And then at "la mei zi", the lady called us to sit down. Then we sat alr, but frm behind us, another lady was screaming "san wei san wei SAN WEI~~" (3pax 3pax) and shoo us off the table for them to sit.

-_-

Sigh, i know business is business. Tell me sth i dont know right.
Its one thing to serve more pax first, but its another thing to shoo us when we already seated right. Or ignore us for other people.

Haha, my friend said, its basically cuz of where they come from...
RUDE CREATURES.

Anyway, just when we walked away, it started to drizzle. Everyone started squeezing into the shelters (there were more than 30 tables places outside the shop with no shelter). AND THEN, it started pouring madly!!!

Keke. Imagine how many customer's hotpot was overflowing with rain water.

After tht,
I went t Bukit Gombak for prata BOMB!
:x

(And fyi, before the steamboat, i had a filet-o-fish meal upsized.)



Today



My dog wearing his pyjamas :>

I made quiche!




Pardon the burnt parts! I used the lousy oven again! It has no degree settings -_- So outside burns very fast when the inside remains uncooked.
And i forgot to add salt x:
But the cheese and ham inside made up for the taste :P

Looks like egg tart hor.

Sigh,
Anyway now, got a lot of things going horribly for me!
Okay, im being overdramatic. But i just feel like im back to Sq 1 again.

HDB is making a big hooha about this pet cafe issue. As though they've never heard of pet cafe before! (WHICH I BET THEY'VE NEVER LA!) And downright rejected our application. So we went to dig up resources and now talking to the Big Boss.

And finally, someone clever around! She is willing to consider our application :>
(Even if she rejects it too, we have Plan C)

In the meantime, since this is dragging so long and i feel useless doing practically nothing but sucking up other pple's money, i have decided to start working!
Okay this is a horrible idea, i know. Because how am i going to quit before a month is up -_-

Tht's why. Life is really bad for me now.

SIM's course starts in August. Which of course, i dont think im free right, now that i have my own business...

So my big qn is, TO STUDY OR NOT TO STUDY???
Anw, this qn is for myself. HAHA.

I have long given up on asking pple for their opinion when i dont see the point.
Starting from only recently i realised i have been so reliant on others opinion. And being influenced!!
I have so many frds who are not schooling but opened their own business. Really! And i always put them in mind thinking, they can do it, why can't i?
But i need to erase that thought, because I AM NOT THEM AND THEY ARE NOT ME. Why follow someone for the sake of following?

Sure i can do it. I got so much plans, even after this pet cafe, i know how else to venture out.
But i feel embarrassed to not have a degree yknow?

Gosh......................
Sometimes. I need to fuck care about my face.
Though my heart always leads me into deep shit.

Heh,
Just for fun, this is my "aunty look"

When im sweating out at the shop. Hur.

Today i went for the food hygiene course and i think it was realllllyy funny, i couldnt stop laughing at so many things! Its all about food safety so its really long winded like how many times you gotta wash your hands, wash the food and wash the utensils.
We had to do this practical following a video of a person making a lettuce sandwich. I was just imagining if the lettuce drop into the sink, then you gotta start back all over again with washing your hands first!
And we had to wear hair cap, gloves and mask! Its my first time wearing mask over my mouth and i think i got some kinda panic attack because i kept breathing in damn deeply and fiercely until i felt like fainting :S

Anyway im kinda happy, thursday and friday and perhaps this weekend i am kinda "free". Though mentally im really stressing over so much stuff now.

Actually i wonder why i alwys make friends with the "carefree" kind when im not supposed to be this way. I dont think i shd waste my life anymore.

My sis was telling me abt her teacher who is old and single, but she had travelled ALL AROUND THE WORLD BEFORE AND DONE EVERYTHING!!!!
Serious, she even STAYED in an igloo for about a week! (And they actually dont bathe in there!)

Ohh man i think that's huge. I was looking at the vast ocean on tv, clear and blue. I had seen this exact image when i was flying back from Perth, even the lady beside me leaned towards me to get a look out of the window. Literally seeing the plateau and formations under the water!

There's so much to do and so little time! And actually after this pet cafe, i was thinking of opening a clothes shop. Because i had been discussing w my friends who all own boutiques and i think its REALLY easy money man! Like my friend totally dont wanna go back to study when a degree can only fetch up to $3k nowadays??

Dont get me started on how much Tracyeinny has been earning since God knows when.

Right now, life is all about making money AND SPENDING IT TO ENJOY! :>

One of the few things that made me happy these few days is my new pair of sandals!


Adding to my infinite sandals collection!
Everytime i get a new pair of sandals, i'll wear it alllll the time neglecting my other sandals and it makes me not wanna wear all my "old" ones at all anymore. Feeling that i totally grew out of it. Quite sad.

Maybe i should was them and sell at my flea market?

But i'll be selling my blazers FOR SURE! I have so many of them! Collected them cuz theyre so pretty + when i planned to go back Perth to study. But in sg, i totally dont wear them at all. I hate piling layers of clothes on!

These are SOME of the blazers i'll be selling. (true to pic)



Most are only worn once, the others not worn at all.
Look out k!


Anw have been busy + havent seen bf&friends since Sunday! So sad :<
My tuition resumed as well after hers&mine long long June hols, hehe. Moreover PSLE starts in early oct!!! Omg!
So I have the handling of my cafe, starting of school AND extra chiong-ing for her PSLE.
Craziness.

One day i'll just disappear.
People, as well as myself, are too obsessed with the "online life". I wonder if it counts as being "loserish".
Some people too concerned about how they look on PHOTOS rather than being concerned about how they look like in real life, their movement and all.
Okay its so hard to explain yea. But sometimes i feel people rely on "online life" too much. They rely and FEED ON strange unknown webpeople's comments rather than caring about what REAL pple & FRIENDS arnd them think.

Hmmm.

Hi!

Ive got totally no more kick to blog. Its like everything i do, i'll tweet it instead. And blogging about things i've already mentioned seems so redundant.

Ohwell! I cannot let this place die i guess. Part of my spending money comes frm here x:

Friday supposed to go West coast for night picnic! I cooked 2 beef lasagne and 2 teriyaki chicken. Yummm.


I used the lousy oven (no temperature settings) that's why it got burnt parts, within only 3 mins some more. Used to this already.
And ran out of mozerella cheese so used gloucester cheese for the top. Which is quite salty, like cheddar cheese so it's not really the right cheese for lasagne.

But who cares, the person who's eating it is a pig and not a fussy food critic you see. Haha!

Anyway my mum bought all the cooking equipment for the cafe already and they are so huge! Giant oven, giant grill and giant deep fryer! Lol!

Uhm ok, so we were supposed to go West coast but because i was very late, and last minute we planned for other stuff at night, we "picnic" at a more simple place. Haha!
And.. i don't like to eat food i cooked. I will feel super jelat!

After, went prawning!
Caught a lot. Especially when everyone left their rod to go and eat. Its like one after another you see the buoy moving by itself or bobbing up and down. And now i know very well how to see if the prawn is eating your bait!

Actually im very very VERY curious on how painful it is to be pinched by the prawn's pincers. If its not so painful i can go and catch myself. But i just dont like the water to splash into my eye cuz its like so dirty.

After prawning, we sat lorry home! I thought its like fun. Anyway its my first time.



Well, its HORRIBLY SCARY!


My hair blowing this direction because i was facing the back of the lorry. Once i got up and sit, i didnt dare to change position so ok, i enjoy the back scenary.

:>

Anw, feel like doing a lot of things. But im either too lazy or not convenient.
Thats whyyyy. I cannot stop whining about not having my license.
The test date is one thing, and the possibility of failing is another thing!

Argh.
I cant wait to go on a road trip at the end of this yr! And i guess lots of other things my friends and i have been discussing :>

Hmm.
I feel like, if you want something bad enough. It can be yours.
Okay, im referring to more than just driving right now.

I got a lot to say i think. But i dont wanna bore you.

Night!


P.S Im gonna sell this blazer at my flea market. Will tell you more abt it another day :>

I felt fever last night and a dry cough this morning. So i went t the doc t check whether i have H1N1, lol! I feel rlly retarded, when i have a thermometer at home but i chose to go to the doc to ask "Uhm, i just wanna see if i got a fever".

And stupid thing is, my temp is only 37deg, no fever!
But ok, better be safe than sorry. I dont wanna be infected.
And i asked for the flu vaccination tday but they said all sold out! Omg, must go polyclinic then have.



I had driving today and the crazy fuck make me parallel park his car for him! When i havent learnt shit abt parking car lah. Then so impatient somemore. He was giving me instructions while talking on the phone with someone else somemore!



HAHA, i dont know what my dog is doing lah. Looking out the window at something.

Anyway, watched Threads of destiny today.
Because got nth else to watch! Literally every movie on the showtimes screen, i have seen already. What does that say man.

Loser.


Looks like he's yawning!



Anw, im damn sleepy now. Cuz of the cough syrup.
I wanna do sth fun ! I always do. But im so lazy! Lazy to travel, lazy to prepare, lazy to think about it.

Ohwell nvm, Im happy enough:>
