class A bitch
Jp thinks im a bad tempered person.Really?
Hem. No, I have not been screaming at him. It's still sunshine and rainbows now.
But then, his comment got me thinking. And a little worried...because I DON'T WANNA BE A BAD-TEMPERED PERSON.
Well, I guess i am an impatient person...with low tolerance for people with little initiative and stupidity. Couple the 3 together and i guess u have a relatively potent mix for bad-temperedness.
I can't help it though. Here's a list of my pet peeves (and his basis for concluding that im bad tempered).
1. People don't pay attention to where they are going and bang into me.
I hate it. I fucking get knocked into every damned day. To the extent that i growled really loudly (this only works if i have a friend walking next to me) that i will kick the next idiot that walks/bumps/steps/touches me. Then I am safe...for like 2 minutes until the surronding people within earshot move out of range and the fresh bunch replaces them. I usually will have to repeat the process. I mean, why can't these idiots just look where they going? What am i? Invisible?
2. People who sit on the outer seat of the bus, leaving the inner seat available when the bus is relatively full and there are people standing.
Now, what can't these people just sit inside? If they just taking the bus for 1 stop, then just stand lah! Kao. This is just pure stupid and selfish behavior. And when u glare at them with your armload of shopping, they just look blankly ahead. Oh god...this further convinces me that a good number of Singaporeans are stupid.
3. People who block the MRT train entrances and who don't move to the middle of the car.
I mean, this seriously warrants a WTH?!!! Like are they BLIND? And i can't understand why would they rather stand at the door and be squashed with a shitload of sometimes smelly, sweaty people? I mean, is getting off at the designated stop within 2 seconds (vs 10seconds) worth the sweat and smell?
4. People who stand really near me on the train.
I can't take it when people step into my personal space. Meaning standing within 15cm of me when there's ample space elsewhere. I hate it more when they smell bad, or when they step on me.
5. People who get off the escalator slowly.
I get angry at these people because I get worried/scared/panicky when i cant get off the moving escalator. I keep remembering the horror stories of the boy who played on the escalator only to have his leg sucked in and dismembered. I so don't want that to happen to me. Hell, I don't even want my shoes to be wrecked. So, why can't they just step off and away? Stupid assholes.
Dunno lah. More i type, the more pissed i get. Just thinking of how ungracious people are makes me mad.
*deep breath*
I DON'T WANNA BE A BAD-TEMPERED PERSON but Singapore is turning me into a class A bitch.
How?

I need to go on a diet. And also make more trips to the gym.
I need to make that bloody lifetime membership freaking wu hua.
See? I knew it.
I just knew i was gonna get fat the minute i decided i really liked jp.

MY boyfriend's boyfriend
Lookie here...see what I found?
Yup. That's a link to my blog.Interesting, isn't it?
Those 3 words imply that:
1. JP is bisexual OR
2. He is cheating on me Or
3. Both of the above
4. I don't have a name and am labelled "The Girlfriend".
I think it's hilarious.

men who give men a BAD name
Am bored and so being the kpo that I am, decided to peek into other’s peoples lives by reading their blogs.Then I came upon this one..Alan the prince forever
Now…don’t you already find the blog title amusing? Poseur alert! I mean, PRINCE? And FOREVER somemore! It’s like he’s stuck in this dream world or something.
Ah well, anyway…this guy owns an events company..and is apparently a shareholder in a lot of other stuff. Other stuff meaning St James powerhouse, among others. He loves to namedrop (to show how rich and well connected he is) and, if I may add, is a true womanizer. If you look at his friendster photos, you will find many many pictures of girls in various compromising poses..some bordering on soft porn.
This guy got married and changed 3 gfs in the span of less than 1 year. And for every woman who steps into his life…he declares his undying love and devotion to her and claims that she is “The One” (yea, I gleaned much of this off his blog and some msn chat sessions).
He has ridiculous ideals of love…he wants a gf who is sweet, caring and understanding of his tight work schedule AND who can put up with his roving eye (and maybe hands, though he’ll never admit it). I guess his girlfriend must be 2D because I don’t think the guy is interested at all in her as a person but is just looking for someone to be interested in him.
Okay, I’m getting pretty riled up as I write this…but I’m really more and more disgusted with this guy. And the fact that there are a ton of other males out there with this kind of stupid, fucked up and selfish mentality.
I mean, it’s easy to like someone…but to really love that person takes time and effort. So any guy who goes around declaring I-LOVE-YOU to every single gf within 1 week of getting together is rubbish. It’s crapshit and is worth absolutely nothing.
In fact, such people ought to be shot because they give their gender and love a bad name. It doesn’t mean that if you spend money on a woman that you love her. More $$$ does not equate to more love.
And so, so, soooo many guys have got this concept man. That the more a man spends on his gf, the more convinced his gf will be that he loves her. WRONG!!!!!
It’s really all about the little details.
The details really show whether you are worth his time of the day…because if you are important to him, he will remember to remind to take your medicine when you’re sick. He will also remember your favourite food and order it for you at the restaurant. He will also notice that you are upset or down and care enough to ask without you have to kek some stupid black face for attention.
And yes, I think men are stupid because most of them equate love with money and gifts and presents when it’s really not about that at all.
I'm glad jp knows otherwise though. :D

im broke
Hello Infinity…goodbye S$3k.
My heart hurts. And I officially will be eating grass for months on end. Make that indefinitely.
*sob*
So people, please please do NOT tempt me with offers of shopping. My pocket just simply can’t withstand the damage anymore.
Therefore, I hereby officially declare…
Audrey is BROKE!
Money matters aside, here’s another small announcement.
Zsazsa has grown up.
She can sit quietly on the front seat by herself now, and no longer needs to be restrained or kept in a bag. At long last!
I’m so proud of her. She sat by herself all the way from Tampines back to Woodlands yday.

excuses, excuses
I think people can be so creative when it comes to cooking up excuses to extend a deadline or to get out of trouble at work.I was trying to buy this particular thing today at Far East and the shop was closed. The paper stuck on the shutters stated the opening hours as 1pm to 9pm. A quick check of my watch showed it was 1.30pm.
Seeing a telephone number listed on the paper, i gave the guy a call. Here's how it went:
Me: Hello? Samuel? I'm standing outside your shop now and would like to purchase xxx Do you have it?
(i can't tell you what does xxx stand for right now because xxx is jp's birthday present and his birthday is only next month.And no, xxx does not indicate that it's a sex toy!).
Samuel: Oh, good morning*. xxx? Yes, we do. Its S$xxx.
*note that silly fella said "morning" when it's already afternoon. I wonder where did he go cheong the night before. I digress.
Me: Oh, that's great! I'd like to buy it. Er, what time are u opening your shop? You are open today right? It's er, 1.30pm now.
Samuel: Oh!! You mean the shop is not open? It should be open really soon. My guys should be on the way to open the shop.
Me: Oh. Really soon? Er, would that be like within 1/2 hour? Can you get your guys to call me when the shop's open? Cuz I need to go back to work.
Samuel: Yes, yes. Definitely. My guys will be there really soon to open shop. Just wait for a while ok?
Me: Okay.
(note that he didn't ask me for my name at all...so how was he gg to address me when he called?)
:
:
20mins pass and i'm back outside the shop. It is still closed. I decide to give him the benefit of the doubt and walk around somemore.
:
:
It's now 40mins from the 1st phone call. I am back outside the shop. It is still closed. I decide to give Samuel another call.
Me: Hello. Samuel? I'm outside your shop. It's still closed.
Samuel: Hello. Closed? Really? Haiya..my guys told me that they are on the way already lei.
Me: Erm, is it? I can't wait anymore you know. I got to go.
Samuel: Nono, they will be there really soon. Er, I call you back in 5 mins? No, call u back, 1 min.
Me: Er, okay.
:
:
:
1min comes and goes. No call.
:
:
:
10mins. No call.
:
:
I decide to walk back to the shop for 1 last check. It is still CLOSED.
I leave.
I was part angry (that jackass wasted my time, damnit!!!) and part amused. I was amused that the guy was so stupid to pay rental for a shop when it's closed for the good part of the day. Last time i checked, Far East rental is not cheap. I was also amused that he left his hp number on the paper outside his shop when calling him obviously was useless. Apparently, Samuel does not return calls. And finally, I was amused that his employees, knowing what a dodo their boss was, don't turn up for work at the stipulated time and their boss is none the wiser.
So yea, i was pretty amused. That, and the fact that Samuel reminds me of my own boss, Sam.
Haha. Even their names are similar.
In case you didn't know, Sam is the king of excuses.
Here are some of the excuses that I've seen so far, cooked up some both Sam and some of my clients.
"Was on leave for sometime due to a personal emergency. Will check and let you know."
(Really? So qiao. Are personal things always not an "emergency"? Just say on leave lah!)
My apologies for the late submission. My Technical Director was hospitalized for acute pneumonia the past 3 days and only managed to receive the documents this morning.
(What's the chances of getting acute pneumonia in SG? And the Director recovered so soon to do work? Amazing!)
Was caught in a car accident.
(No comment.)
And here is my boss' auto-responder. Isn't it funny?
Hello....
sigh...sigh.....got flu again. Am on self-quarantine. Will be resting and working from home. If you need to beep me, please feel free and call me or sms me. Will try to return call.
(actually, my whole company got quarantined before so this is not really an excuse. But it really sounds like one, doesn't it? Like damn keng lor. hahaha.)

tidbit of the day
How interesting.Mich told me yday that she likes traditional men because they have better values (which personally, i find questionable).
Hmm. Traditional?
MCPs are traditional. Hahaha. In fact, they are as traditional as you can get.
I think I’d pass on the MCP though. Freaking annoying, know-it-alls who think they are the world and want to be all of your world, but can’t afford it at all.
Yes, in my opinion, to be an MCP and be willingly (read:happily) accepted by women, the man ,must be prepared to open doors, carry all the luggage, pay for all the food, shopping, holidays, bling-bling and what-not. That’s what I mean when I say “afford it”. Of course in order to get a woman’s acquiescence, the man must pay for it, one way or the other.
But we all know that’s not gonna happen and I have digressed.
Anyway, Mich likes traditional men.
What a surprise.
Me? I like jp. :D

okay, boring day at work.Most of the people seem to still be suffering from the after effect of a too good dinner and 3 bottles of Hennessy.
Ah, so i changed my skin.
But i cant figure out how to put in the comments part.

the yummy yum yum
Yday was my monthly company dinner…this time round, it was held at Ikoi Restaurant at Miramar Hotel. 
I tell you…Ikoi is my favourite Jap restaurant. And I think everyone should go there. Er, and the things i'm holding in my hands are beans...in case you were wondering.
And guess what? We were served by the managing director himself! And he even entertained me and Margaret (we, incidentally, were there VERY early and were just wasting away waiting for the rest to arrive) by providing us with a Jap costume thingy and a sword.
How cool is that?
Of course, must have picture lah! Hehe. I don’t get to pose with a sword everyday u know.
And this, in my new, all-time-favourite ice cream - BLACK SESAME - air flown from Japan! It's the yummiest thing i've ever eaten. Looks like cement..but oh, so delicious!~
I wanted to buy a tub back but it was so exorbitantly priced. Make a guess how much a 2 litre tub of that costs?
:

Go on, make a guess.

Freaking S$66 man!!!!
$66 can buy me a pair of pretty leather heels frm Pazzion. Or a dress. Or new makeup.Or a one-way trip to BKK.
And so I passed on the ice-cream. But u gotta try it if u're there though...a scope is like $7 - 9 i think. And no, it isn't on the buffet menu.
Yum, yum. :P

me, or you?
I wonder why are you so irritated…Is it me?
Is the incessant flow of work killing you and your sunny nature in the process?
Because I have nothing to do with the work you need to complete.
I am not the one responsible for the things that you need to do.
Being irritable and snapping at me will do you no good.
So stop now.
Before the good times get washed away with the tides of resentment I am starting to feel.
Stop before my smiley-its-ok facade falls off.

Ps and Qs
Went to il lido at sentosa for dinner over the weekend.No occasion. XR just decided he wanted to check the place out.
But the next time XR says he wants to check the place out, I will need to conduct some background checks on the price range of the food first though.
Haha. That meal set us back by nearly $300 bucks. *faint* Lucky my bf is not neow (thank you dear). I hate neow men. :D
Anyway, we all had (with the exception of xr who decided he wanted to be full AND boring) very interesting and weird stuff to eat.
I had SEA URCHIN spaghetti with spicy zucchini. Adventurous?? I think so. I just learnt from my colleagues that if the poison from the urchin is not removed properly, I could have died.
Guess it was lucky that i didn't know about this when i ordered that day then.
Moving on, Jp had RABBIT LEGS confit.
And in case you were wondering what the hell is “confit”…con·fit (k n-f , k? n.
1. Meat, such as duck, that has been salted and then cooked and preserved in its own fat.
2. A condiment made by cooking seasoned fruit or vegetables, usually to a jamlike consistency.
And also, if you were wondering…sea urchin does NOT taste good. No pun intended, but a sea urchin tastes just like it’s name. It taste like solidified sea.
Not exactly yummy. In fact, I donated my noodles to XR.
Oh, and jp’s rabbit legs tasted like chicken. Hmm.
XR had grain fed lamb..which, in my opinion, tasted the best…Maybe only by virtue that it was familiar.
Anyway, i decided that posh, upmarket food is not really for me. I hate having to watch my Ps and Qs over dinner and having to make sure i don't eat too much so i don't totally fill out my evening dress.
Yup. I guess jp is pretty much relieved to read this. :D
I am NOT high maintenance okay!

Remember how I was complaining that someone was using my photo and possibly impersonating me?Well, I've gone and done something about it.
Hahaha.
Seems stuff like this happens pretty often huh? Considering that they have a list of complaints. Checkbox somemore lei!
And here I was, thinking that i was being childish to report such a small matter.
Guess I better start taking myself more seriously then. :P

You won't believe this...But I think my photos are getting too interesting for their own good. They are getting ripped off Friendster by people i don't know and who are totally out of my network.Either that, or there's some sicko trying to pass him/herself off as me.
Now, what's the chances of that happening???
Can you believe it?!!! I am so NOT a Veni. And neither am I 16 (though I wish it).Omg. I'm screwed.

of love, companionship and towels
I haven’t had a reflection for the longest time.Here goes...
When 2 people first get together, they meet all the time because they just can’t get enough of each other.
After 2 people have been together for a long time, and they still meet up all the time…is the feeling still the same?
The i-cant-wait-to-see-you-else-i-will-die, the i-miss-u-so-much feeling…
Will it still be there?
When does the mushy headrush get replaced by the mundane and the prefunctionary?
Very often, people meet up because of routine. Which, in my opinion, is sad. Because they don’t really want to see each other, but meet up all the same because there’s nothing else to do and nobody else to meet.
Is love supposed to be this way? Or is this how companionship works?
No, I don’t feel this way now. The butterflies are still alive.
I just hope we never lapse into just companionship.
Anyway, went to Spotlight today to buy towels. Did you know that the towels sold in Taka are an average of $30+++ each? There’s this reali nice fluffy shu uemura one which is like $60+++ but this is madness.
No way I am paying close to $70 for a freaking towel.
Yup..so, Spotlight has a lot of towels. I guess towels cost an average of $20. I never knew they were quite so expensive. I'm going to start stealing hotel towels from now.
So, I couldn’t decide on the color or type (aiya, I can’t tell the difference lah. The $20+ and $40+ towels felt the same to me. I could only differentiate the $20+ with the $60+) so I decided to 3G jp.
Haha. The wonders of 3G technology.
He got to choose his own towel color.

have a laugh on us...
Went for my bachata class at en motion yday at katong (least i think it was katong. I dunno. I just followed jp blindly up the bus) and ended up at the Hagen Daz at Siglap for ice-cream after.Guess what happens when you put two very bo liao people in an ice-cream palour for 2 hours?
You end up with lots of stupid pictures, plenty of giggles and a number of disturbed-but-mildly-amused patrons.
Just for laughs, (at our expense, thank you.) here are some stupid photos for your amusement.
Enjoy!
At Hagen Daz...
Don't i just look like Charlie Chaplain? Jp think I look more like a Mexican though. I never realized I could look like a man! hahaha.
Here's jp's take on the above shot. My hair was not long enough to place under his noe WHILE taking the picture for him. The straw wrapper had to suffice.
'Nuff said. I wanted to do a shot like that...but the damn serviette refused to stay on my head.
Well, as if we all think jp's nose is not quite sharp enough yet. Riggghhhtt.
Er, just some random shit i did to avoid taking a picture face-on.
Jp tried to pose in the same way but failed terribly. He looked S-C-A-R-Y. So, here's his adaptation.
At the Scarlet Hotel
This shot was extremely tickish and tricky to execute. I was rubbing my nose for quite a bit after. Jp didn't seem to have any problems though.
At Union...
Keropi and the girl with a fat neck. Damnit.
Trying to pinch his eye out. Missed cue lah!
And here's my ultimate favourite stupid photo...
The one shot that NEVER fails to illicit a gail of uncontrolled laughter..
The picture that jp deleted from his phone cuz it's so hideous and embarassing...
I present...

Updates!
I may not be taking a break from salsa after all. The timings for the next round of i3 classes are even suckier than the current so I might as well grin and bear with it. After all, what’s another 5 weeks?Anyway, been meaning to put up this pic since week.
Anybody has any idea what the fella is holding? It’s this long foamy thing that reaches the ceiling when held upright.
Haha. Couldn’t resist taking a photo cuz it looked so funny.
The fella actually fell asleep hugging the thing!
I think I’m on the verge of falling sick. Mich attributes this to partying too hard every night and not getting enough rest.
So, see what jp bought for me?
Awww. I’m really touched lei. And not to mention impressed.
Good. A guy who finally gets it. FINALLY!!!!
And best of all, he’s mine. :D
