I just spent half an hour watching Earth Hour 2009 videos around the world. And it's pretty interesting to see the Paris and Las Vegas ones. Some of the Singapore ones left me tickled, coz some took of their housing estates. But quite a handful was in the orchard/ CBD area.
To be honest, i didnt take part this year. My excuse -- I clean forgot about it! When I was in Melbourne for the Airshow and my trip, I was reminded of it daily (the aussie one of course, and that the hotel would be participating too) because there was a poster in the lift encouraging all to join in. =)
I knew I wouldn't be in Singapore when it happened in Aussie time, and had this rough memory that the SG one should common sensically be around the same time. hahaha...
Anyway, I only realised it was Earth Hour SG the next day when i heard it on the radio! LOL!
so what was i doing that fateful hour from 8.30 to 9.30pm?
I was napping!!! (after work!) Aiyo....but i napped with my lights on the whole time! =(
Wait a minute, does it qualify that I took part when my brain was undergoing lights out??..huh..huh??
hahahahaha....=P

Round one...
of the audit tsumnami has arrived. I think it's a small one...hmmm...maybe there'll be another.
I'm considering whether to do it now or just wake up earlier tomorrow. Time is running out.
*buries head in sand*
Actually, audit is one thing...it's the combination of everything else too that makes it all suck. =(
It's miserable to be miserable. I wish I never have to grow up. Was there ever anything?
I feel as though there's nothing.
God, please let me just go home.

I'm waiting...
for my dinner to arrive. Heh...Sarpino's Pizza...yummy!
Things have been moving at a moderate pace the past week, possibly coz boss was away. And even thought he's been back since yesterday, he's still abit too jet-lagged to hit the pressure/ panic button!
Knowing him, he's been hatching while overseas. But like i said...too jet lagged. In addition, my beloved auditors are in, so he knows better not to disturb me..hahaha...
So far so good lah...but i'm apprehensive...it all just means thier piling it to a tsunami of sorts..hahaha...this is just phase one. When they go off-site, it's another stressor for me....LOL...
Of course, boss won't hold back his hatchings for long...
But there's nothing much you can do anyway, so just adopt the whatever may come attitude lor, while trying to sort out the needful. =)
Today, boss and a few of my colleagues met this person we'd be working with for our industry matters from another one of our partners. My god, I thought it was a one off that I wanted to wring her neck the first time I met her two weeks back. Today, i just wanted to break her fingers! coz she was beign so repetitive in action and speech...sheesh...
Not that i'm being impatient or mean lah...but she really parrots you and abit close minded, i.e. not senstive to body language and 'hints'...oh well, boss said, things can be done..haha...ah well, makes work exciting..hahaha...people to stranggle and stomp on...hahaha
I need my pizza!!!! arrrghhhh...so hungry, I can't type anymore already!
Peppperrrooooonnnniiiiiii Claaaaaaasssicccccc!

they are deemed mad...so the best thing to do is not care...
I decided to have a late dinner, so i took a late afternoon nap, woke up and went downstairs to get a drink. When i reached the kitchen, all mum needed to do was say: "When I was going to eat my dinner, I saw this packet of duck on the table so I took some ---"
Immediately I just murmured: "Oh, she must be so pissed....she's going to be so pissed."
I dunno whether it's my mum who's surprised by my immediate 'knowledge' of the situation, but she paused before moving on to incredulously tell me that my sis took the whole packet and threw it into the rubbish bag. Key phrase was -- "You ate and told me after the knowledge of the fact.".. that is, you know it's mine and you still eat and still tell me.
Sis stormed out of the house,so mum told me she retrieved it from the rubbish bag, since it's still in the bag and box...
I told me mum in a matter-of-fact tone, reminding her that i'm not eating dinner now, and when sis gets back which is real soon, she's going to throw it away again. I promptly went back to my room at that, without caring what mum decided to do with the new info. Gut feel was that she'd leave it there.
In two mins, sis came back. In my room I heard the fights all over again, and I think I was right, coz sis say something about I'll do anything I want, and then a few doors slamming...sheesh...If only I was that spot on at the horse races on friday night.
Anyway, sis went out breifly, and when she came back, more words were exchanged, all the way up the stairs...
Unless you know the background of my family, you'd probably wonder what's the big deal to kick up such a fuss. But it's too long to go into that now. I'm just venting on the facts, coz they are morons who enjoy having antagonised lives or something.
I have long decided that both parties are stupid, unreasonable and have nothing better to do.
Alamak...as if my night couldn't improve, Renault from first position, due to technical fault has retired from the Hungary race...*growls*..humph, now can only support the Red Bulls to win...oh heck, anyone but Hamilton and Button...Muahaha...

Dunno why i do such things to myself...haha...
For a start i opted to cook dinner for my sis and me today. So that's half the night burned.
The other half, i was happily chatting, eating ice cream and watchign Frasier. Until the topic of CPF came up...mmm...ya...good ol' CPF
Anyway, I was supposed to check up on it this week, so just as well I'm reminded. Hahaha...
that day mum asked me something about CPF. I told her, my CPF no $$ jsut to stop her from bugging me!..hehehe...jialat..little did i know i was telling the truth...And i was extremely perplexed why it was so...who's been stealing my moolah!
Humph, true lah...CPF is moolah we'll never see..but it's still moolah what..*folds arms*
i'm like this one lah...give me such a puzzle I'd stay up to get to the bottom of things...
Anyways, spent quite a bit of the night making head and tail of my insurance and investments...haiz...I'm a very disorganised person. I toss everything into this corner/ drawer which i deem important. And when the time comes (like this instance)..i'll sieve and consolidate, making head or tail and putting in chronological order...hahaha
Was initially peeved coz i thought I'd been wrongly charged. I'm relatively skeptical when talking to my financial advisor lah, so am cautious...but turns out I forgot about the extra premiums...
Well, verdict is...I'm worth $90K dead!
Sheesh...can someone keeeeel me now??? =)

Yummer-rooos!
Ge brought home-made Apple Crumble to work for me today!! Her mum make for me one! What a surprise!!! Really touched lah...hee...
When I came home, Cloudy lay in my room half the night with her nose pointed to the plastic bag..haha...she can smell it even though it was double wrapped in plastic bags neh!! 
I thought the container was cute. A little bowl with a lid and that can just re-heat directly. *Slurp*...hahaha...
Red couldn't keep her eyes off the food, while I was heating up the oven! She kept circling the kitchen table and poking her nose within permissible distance. =)
I saved it for supper, because it would be such a treat! =)
Haha...this picture is abit blur, but I just had to catch the miserable and buay-song look on her face, after I chided her for flouting the 'nose-permissable-distance' rule. So she sat at a distance and kept her eyes peeled to the fooood...=)

weekend doings..
The weekend has come to an end and I'm denying my feelings of misery. They have been buried at the back of my mind for the last 24 hours, when they come a-knocking, the gatekeeper tells them that their passes are only valid on weekdays.
I was supposed to work on something this weekend. But i felt so xian, just turning on my comp, I opted to shut down immediately after start up. The suffering will come sooner or later. Grrr...
The weekend hasn't been too bad. On friday, I met up with bowl and went to try the peking duck pizza at California Pizza kitchen. It's gootch!...but bowl didn't like it..LOL...so I happily finished the rest while she focussed on the one she ordered..haha...I like to eat duck lah...*quack quack*...especially roast duck..*slurps*...kay kay...better move on..haha..
I also intro-ed her to Sudoku at borders...
The evening only reminded me of frustratingly sad things. Which thankfully doesn't bug me as much anymore.
Went for the 'Agape-lla' concert on saturday, which was okay. Amusingly, the thing i remember most about the performance was a crave for pocky and potato chips..hahaha...
Trying new things this weekend has been disappointing. I bought a Dean Koontz book at the last expo book sale, titled the Darkest Evening of the year, just to try out. Even though it revolves around a dog rescuer, it was quite torturous to read. Hahaha...i just don't like his writing style and every page has been a torture. I can't believe, I patiently read for the past two days, every detail and at the end of each chapter I say 'wah lau..waste brain matter...'...So since 2 hours ago I've decided to skim, simply coz I need to know how the story ended lah. I'm still not done. But I'll get back to it after this.
Next I started watching Pushing Daisies this afternoon. OMG...I seriously dunno how the same group that enjoyed watching boston legal liked this show (according to recommended forums)...sheesh...thank god we didnt' bother with it in phuket. It was interesting in it's own way. But...haiz..dunno how to put it. All I know is, I found myself forwarding scenes by the 3rd episode. Hahaha...thereafter, i didn't bother wasting the rest of my time.
Just as well lah, coz if I liked the show, i'd have to extend my rental which means more $$.(expires today!)
My hp camera died during my phuket trip. No major dipping in H2O but it was kept in my pocket that was soaked in rainwater. I only had my hp since 17 feb! feels like it's been so much longer than that!..Hope I can use the warranty to get it fixed then..kekekeke...
OK OK...time to go back to the book and find out what harpoooned to the dog rescuer!! =)

Strange sightings along Karon Beach...
Friend or Foe?..." Greetings earthling. Bring me to your leader..." ...hahaha...
No time to delve into the details today or load up the pics,...it's been a long day at work. But just wanted to say that I'm back, well and load up one nice pic of the sunset. =)
As always God was good to us in the trip, such as, even though we could have potentially fallen sick big time. He made sure it didn't happen. =)
More details when I can lahz...

blabber...
I noticing more dents/bad marks on my blooie!! ='( worse, this afternoon walking over to the passenger side, i noticed a very bad scratch kinda mark lor..like done by a metal object..=( sigh..why do i ahve a feeling it could be mum when she opens my car door and always whacks her handbag/ umbrella on the door...Raaarrr...grrrr...
Was stuck in a horrid traffic jam today. Took me 1 and half hours to get from Marine Parade to Keppel Road via ECP. The expressway was flooded just near the IR area. Closing everything to one lane only. To make matters worse, the flood is in a blind corner.
Whatever the case, it half drained me for the rest of the day with a lingering head numbness feel. *sigh*...ah well...no biggie lah, just the dazed feelign always not nice to have...hee...my eyes are half closed!
Friday am off to phuket...yay! it feels weird leh this trip. Kind of like at an awkward time in the work phase of things. It was supposed to be straight after our biggie event lah. But no choice and had to postpone bah...so now it's in early july. =)
I just pray we'll have a good time and not bitch/ discuss work. It's a health hazard man..haha..I dun care!! I will try my best to make a conscious effort not to...sigh...this may just be my last opportunity to 'break' from work in the next few months ahead.
Last time i went to a resort was in Sep 07 -- Krabi lor. Massages were cheap..the hotel one k..not the streetside ones..haha...I also remember heading out one afternoon on my own and trekked in the search for a nice quiet beach spot. I found a nice corner, white soft sand, by the beach but the trees there crafted out a little cave and gave shelter. So me laid out my mat there and tried to read...hahaha..i said TRY...coz in like 5mins i was zzzing!! How to not zzz?! --- Gentle sea breeze and warm beach smells...and an endless stretch of blue water...peace and quiet...
I remember I brought 5 archies to read that holiday!! ahahaha...
Evenings is just spent discovering the area more. Such places are quite different at night. I went out in the middle of one of the beaches, whereby the low tide ensured that i could walk really far out away from the modern lights. So that I can look up and count the stars in the darkness..hee...
the above was the nicer things i remember about my trip. =)
Now Tiger doesn't fly to Krabi anymore...tourism there must really be bad, coz the only other way is via phuket. A hour and half car ride away.
In as much as we're trying to find things to entertain ourselves for the trip, i believe it'll be good lah. The most zzzz all the way!!..ahhaha...
Hmm...can buy sarpino's pizza in phuket or not?..hahaha...that would be puuurrfect! hee...
