Here We Go~

Yes! Let the renovations begin! All the walls have been torn down and I'm more excited about this place vs the first place b/c I'm putting in a kitchen island! HOLLER!

Can't wait till all the renovating is done.

Other tidbits: 6x events in the next month plus squeezing a trip to Malaysia in between.

Busy is indeedy goody, but so is sleep -- which I miss terribly.

Pack it up, pack it in

After living in 'brooklyn' for a year and a half, it's time to look for a new place to squat. Surprisingly, I actually grew to love the place. The park, the mrt, the million and one places to eat within a 3 block radius. Plus, it only took 20mins by scooter to get into the city center.

Sigh~

Twas my first home and I shall miss it muchie.

Anywhere But Here..

one of these day, i'ma book a ticket and just fly off to the nearest island and park my pastey white ass on the beach for a week.

tired of work, house hunting and not being able to tan evenly!!!!!

@#$%^&

The Powers That Be

The story goes like this:

got home around 7, took the dog out and lounged on the couch -- mustered the energy to get off my ass and went to the gym.

did not acknowledge the real estate agent that was brought a person to see the apt.

ignored his calls while scootering to the gym.

finished an extra set before calling it day.

passed by an almond tofu cart -- then doubled back b/c it sounded good.

chain of events that led to meeting a Mr. Chang. he owns the unit 6 doors down from me and is interested in purchasing another unit for his niece.

maybe?

The Price Is Right

A sucker is born every minute. I need one of those suckers to make an offer on my apt. Lol~

After 3 months with Century 21, I switched real estate agencies cuz Century 21 was/is pure crap. Not the most professional and when it comes down to it, I question how they sell homes! I used them cuz I have a relative that works there and it was one of those family political things. Never again!

Anyway, the new agency is pretty cool. They give me weekly reports, letting me know how many people have seen the place, likes/dislikes, etc. Its been about a month and this older lady named a price and failed. And now I have 3-4 potential buyers in the wings. These folks have viewed the apt at least 2-3 times -- coming in after work, during the weekends, with their maggot ass kids, with their boy/girl friends.

Someone just grow a pair and make an offer! I know its not easy. The price is bit a high and some folks aren't able to get the loan and some believe in the powers that be. But if you're viewing the place 2-3 times, you must like it.

I just need my agent to pinch some balls and make something happen.

Cryin'

The IT guy at work is a saint. He has a music drive that he shares with who ever wants it -- and it is updated monthly with all the latest tunes. He also provides DVD's, which is another factor why I never leave the apt.

Aerosmith greatest hits is on my playlist right now. Sure brings back memories when MTV was all about the music/music videos instead of the trash that's on it now. Just hearing the ballads makes me want to get a convertible and cruise down the coast with the top down.

Its all the same

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but in my defense, I was there first. And it wasn't like they were being discreet about it.

So there I was, at Minquan MRT station waiting for a guy that wanted to buy my HTC phone. These two girls came up and sat next to me, lit a couple of cigs, and right as they exhaled the smoke, the sob story came out.

A mutual friend got knocked up (unexpectedly) and apparently the baby daddy is some male whore that's been gettin busy with other girls. Its the universal tale of 'oh, no he didn't!' and 'girls unite!'.

Its really none of my business -- but this would be a good condom ad.

I dont know how the story ended, cuz the guy arrived right on cue and I bounced right after.

Good luck to them.

Blue or Red Pill?

I've been having these god awful headaches and last nite I checked myself into the ER.

Diagnosis = migraines

The doc hooked me up to an IV bag and that was nice. They injected some sort of drug for the pain, which made me woozy and then gave me drugs for the woozy. After being discharged, she gave me some pills and I should take them ONLY if its excruciating pain.

I'm looking at the pills:

1) Tramadol for pain -- which may cause headaches

2) Ergotamine Tartrate for headaches -- but may cause dizziness, nausea and muscle aches

3) Sinphadol for dizziness -- but may cause thirst and fast heart beat

4) Promeran for nausea -- but may cause sleepiness

Why can't they just give me 1 magic pill?

Whack~

what the locals deem as fashion these days. i'm just as stumped as you are..

Surprise

12 hours ago I accidently dropped my keys (house, scooter, mail) in the gutter -- lost FOREVER. As I was waiting for the lock smith to come, I went to the nearest 7-11 to pay my cell phone bill (they stopped my service due to lack of payment).

Anyway, as I was transfering money on the atm, my phone rings (incoming calls are free)

me: hello?

mystery caller: hey loser..

me: um, hello?

mystery caller: hey loser..

me: hmrph.. who is this?

mystery caller: do you like scary movies?

me: what da *anxiously looks behind shoulder and bam, it sinks in..* YOU!!

mystery caller: *laughs*

it was awesome.

The New Beetle

According to research, the newest VW beetle design appeals more to men..

Seriously?

o_O

The Chinese name of the recent movie, Hanna, is: 少女殺手的奇幻旅程.

Now if you do a back translation, its: The young assassin girls' fantasy adventure.

Why couldn't they just say: 漢娜 aka Hanna.

B.U.M

I think there's a bum living in the park -- more specifically, the dog park.

His shopping cart is filled with plastic bags, which was the giveaway, and when he's not lounging on his bench, he has 2(!!!) dogs chillin there watching his stuff.

I don't think he's a threat, he tends to keep to himself when other folks bring their dogs to the enclosed area, but I've been noticing more litter in the dog park due to his occupancy. Yes, I realize the bench is now his domain, but keep it clean! There's a trash can like 10 feet away.

Tik Tok.

Having an ADD moment -- afternoon.

Supposedly working on a launch plan.

But ended up taking the xmas lights down, cleaned the kitchen and wiped the floors.

Dog is at the groomers so the place is quiet.

Now I'm blogging, reviewing past launch plans and having a staring contest at the ppt template all at the same time. I'm either a pro multitasker or an extreme slacker.

Hm, the windows need to be cleaned..

Sassy

I hate riding the MRT during rush hour. The locals live like sardines so when a train comes, they'll pile in even though here is literally no space whatsoever. I tend to stand near the door and pretend I'm a tree so when people try to push themelves in, they have to go around me. It's easier than it sounds cuz most people weigh less than 100 pounds.

So today at one of the stops, this youngin steps on and in the background this older lady was hovering, trying to pile in as well. She kept saying 'excuse me, I want to get in', and the youngin, goes 'there's no space.. what's the point of cramming yourself in here!' followed with '#%*&$'. The old lady looked shocked and though I wasn't exactly gleeful when she crammed herself in, felt bad for the old lady. In between stops, the youngin, clearly annoyed, goes 'stop shoving!'. This time the old lady grew a pair and retorted 'it's you that's shoving!'.

I thought there'd be a rumble! But alas, once the door opened, I got off with the youngin in tow. I should mention that she kinda pushed me, but considering she was a walking time bomb and me being diplomatic, let it go.

Free Yourself

I should know better as I used to be in adveristing, but this ad totally suckered me into buying the newest NIKE FREE XT.

Hope

[I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope...]

Yap, I just quoted Greys. A drama series that's so dyfunctional, but yet so wise.
