Things that can happen in two hours

I went to work today and saw Mr. Wanna-be-Manager-Two. He was walking to and fro to the labs, checking, I suppose, that we were working.

A minute later, I spot Mr Wanna-be-Manager-One hiding in one corner of the computer lab. Suddenly, he got up and WALKED HERE!!!!!

Omigosh!!! As if it isnt enough that I have one big boss, now there is two small minons lurking around and popping up to check on the small fishes aka the Student Assistents (SA).

Lucky all Tylor needed was a shift change...which works perfectly with me becoz it means I get to get out of work early on tuesday and join my fellow 'friends' in venting my anger by slamming people and getting slammed. Maybe I will choke them once in a while, just to keep my skills fresh.

On the more unfortunate side, while I am typing this, I kept glancing out the window to see who else walks by. I am so paranoid.

And then, Mr. Got-the-hots dropped by for 5 minutes to make an attempt on small talk, which was taxing on my mind, since I had to THINK AND TALK AND LAUGH while suffering from an immediate brain freeze.

Finally, Ms. Big-Ass-Manager came up to me. "Records," She said. I nodded my head and gave a weak smile while minimizing the screen.

Damn, but thats FOUR visits from my Superiors in one hour. Five if you counted Mr. Quiet who asked politely after me but was more interested in a friend walking past.

MONDAYS sucks!

Skeptical

Why are people so 'nice' now?

Its boggling me...or maybe its just Feb 14 coming up.

Hmm, one way or another, I still like it.

Winter Rojak and Facebook

It was raining water/ice/snow after I walked out of Llyold Noble Center where the basketball match between OU and Baylor was held.

Boy, are we the greatest or what? OU won by 40 points. 91-41. Hahahaha. I am so glad and relief especially when we were behind during the first quarter of the game.

Makes me wanna shoot some hoops.

Seriously, I am so easily influence by BOYS. Whatever happened to good female role models like Mummy or *gasp* Britney Spears? Looks like they all bail out on me.

I finally found a picture for my facebook profile pic. I also managed think of some super witty sentences for the About Me section.

"If you think im just gonna put up personal information about myself, think again.

You wish you knew me."

Aint it the best About Me section you've ever read? (The rest of my facebook profile is very very empty thus the above sentences.) I am so proud of myself. I have gotten so mild, plain and boring that its almost sickening coz I feel so defenseless against the snarling wolf. Yes, I am refering to myself as a pig. I just need some spice and my sarcastic wits with me.

The About me section actually made me feel so much better for a while. Its almost telling me that its not my fault and I shouldnt feel so depressed over one ***.

I only have one wish right now>>> That I wouldnt be so secretive. Then everything I write wont have double or hidden meanings or asterisks :(

pls: Think about it. Whoever knew I could be that sarcastic? Bah!

Random sentences

I am having withdrawal symptons.

What does this mean? That im hooked? *gasp*

---------------------------------------------------------------------

When you are high, you tend to say/write lots of stuff that you dont normally say/write.

Im happy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

pls: Im being random.

Bah. I spend half an hour 'skating' on ice-covered grass just to rush back home to pick up a book and stumbled back to the bus stop to catch the bus to campus. Bah. Nearly slipped and fell every few steps. If I ever walk outside for the entire day, I will certainly die of a heart attack. Every tiny slope has to be taken into consideration...even the uneven soil that you have never given a moment's thought on is hazardous. Walk, walk, stumble, glide, walk, walk, slide, slide, slide, stumble....obviously im not a big fan of ice unless its in the skating ring...

For those freaking people who think that winter is WOW, think again. Snow is nice. Dirty snow (snow by the road curb ) is ugly. Snow is wet. This is GREAT...to a certain extend like cancelling class!

ICE is worse. Cant walk fast. Cant drive properly. Cant do anything but 'skate' and 'slide' and fall. Pls, I havent fallen yet! Muahahahahaha.

Everything here is covered with ICE! As pretty as it looks, pls melt and go away!!!

Then at least the next time I forget to bring something to school, I wont be caught in a death-like situation.

Bah!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fun thing about ice-storms is how classes get to be cancelled. Muahahaha.

That leaves work. Hmm... boring!!!!!

What do you do when you are given a computer for 7 hours and you have absolutely nothing to do BUT get paid?

Ans: Enjoy and dont hold grudges. ( IM SO FREAKING BORED....THAT IM BLOGGING AND CAN GO ON FOR THE NEXT SIX HOURS!!!)


BOREDOM MAKES ME GO CRAZY!!!!

First things first. I'm super glad to be 'home' despite the ice storm and plane cancellation. I touched down at the Houston airport, knowing there was a chance that my plane would be cancelled, and IT DID.

Wasnt worried.

Stand by for the next plane at 5:30pm

Cancelled.

Still wasnt worried.

Called friend who lives in Houston in case the last plane was cancelled. Good news. I can probably stay with them for a night and follow them back to OK. But, it was a 7-10 hrs drive so I rather take the plane home.

Wait for the last plane (8:45pm) ... to see if it will be on time/cancelled.

6pm.... Wow... The time, 6:25pm, flashed back on the sign to OK. Seems like the 5:30pm plane was cancelled but was later put back on route to OK! Tata! "It's a miracle," said a sit-in pilot.

Therefore, with heavy misgivings, I boarded the plane and by 8 plus, was back safe and sound in OK. Muahahahaha. With my luggages all aboard the plane too! psst...there were many luggages missing coz of the many plane cancellation throughout the day.

Never knew how LUCKY i was until I realized that a friend was stranded at some other airport for 2 days and could only get back on Monday. Another friend had to delay leaving from OK on monday(despite the better conditions) and had to rearrange all his flight plans again. Other people couldnt even come back till monday which was surprising since i came back on sunday. You would have thought that the planes to OK from all over US would have been given the clear signal to travel but NOOOOO...... whatever!

Im back! :)

Naruto

Naruto makes me happy :)

pls: I am so tired.

Out and about in OKC

MALIBU COLADA
Our Deluxe Pina Colada with Myers's, Bacardi 151, Mount Gay and Malibu Rums

Comments: Dizzyness and a little pounding headache. Likely the strongest alcohol drink I had so far. One sip and I could feel its potent effects. I sipped it slowly throughout supper. Finally, when there was a 1/6 left, I sucked it all up. Experience a brain freeze and my brain was pounding. It doesnt help that my belly felt tight after a full meal and my tongue buds were soaked with supreme uncontainable sweetness from Vanilla bean cheesecake.

pls: I just wanted to try Bacardi 151, although it was probably very little.

Went downtown to BRICKTOWN where the Myraid gardens were lighted up with yellow, red, blue, green blubs outlining the tips of tree branches and looking rather spookish as it suspend itself on the background of the night sky.

Im a little disappointed because I didnt bring my camera. It was so beautiful and calm with the sleepings ducks and a wild bunny but we went there on a whim, thus, the lack of pictures.

We took one imagery one though. There was a Christmas tree behind me and I was seating on a round short gray fat pole of some sort. There.

Now, time to do more shopping and hope I get to spore safe and sound :)

Oh! The horrors of Procastination

Sometimes I wonder why do I even spent time blogging.

This means that I must have too much time on my hands.

On another note, I have less than 12 hrs before my history final. I have only studied 10% of the material. Yea. This will be the first time I official flunk my exam.

Time is of an essence. It waits for no man.

But, Procastination is my forte.

Welcome to MY world.

It probably cost me a job as well. Being the truthful me, the 'P' word slipped out of my mouth during my promising interview. Oh, the horrors. Never fear. I will pick myself up and march forward to see what I can do to salvage my crushing disappointment. There will be more to come in the real world, im sure. But I will take it in stride and keep on pushing myself forward. Ah, the optimism in me is showing.

It's a good thing I manage to make friends with one of the photographers. I should add that he is utterly blinded by my beauty. I must ask him for advise. Hehehe. It helps that the sun was shinning directly at me :)

I kid you not.

$$$ $$$ $$$ $$$

I am coming back to Singa...Malaysia on the 19 dec at 12:30a.m. But, landing in spore lah. Its freaking super duper early in the morning and I bet Im going to be real groucy by then because I have exhausted all my energy into being ALERT of my surroundings. Yes, it does not do well for a girl to have scarifice her beauty sleep to keep her eyes wide open at all times :) *staring at the tiny tv screen and watch movies*

But seriously, this is my first time by myself on a airplane. I have to be INDEPENDENT and I am still working on it :) I will not be scared. I will not be scared. I am not scared.

Ta-ta. Im off to burning midnight oil.

I want a B. Pls. B. Pls. B.

I just wrote a post and I accidently strayed away from it.

Now its all gone.

Shit!!!!!

Im not going to retype it.

*Goes gloomily back to studying the History of Medieval Women*

Wow. I wonder who really cares. All I want for Christmas....is a B...and four As!!! Muahahaha.

That's asking a lot even though I never study and procastinate (still am) the entire semester. Seriously, this is the EASIEST semester and the LEAST workload ever encountered in my entire college experience. So freaking free that im constantly restless and thus, inattentive and bored. (I did a color test and that's what I 90% remembered).

I need another job. Just because the boredom is driving me CRAZY. I have applied to work for the yearbook, but I havent received a reply/call. Pls...pls....pls.....I need that job!!!! I will even work for free!!!!! (Should have told them that, but it slipped out of my airy mind) I am THAT desperate.

On another note, I've been thinking of getting a new blog. Well actually, I just want my blog to be white. Does anyone know how to change the background color, coz im obviously blogspot dummy.

Cheers and Merry Christmas.

May my wish come true. PLS! PLS! PLS!

Restless during Finals

I am suffering from restlessness...

And I cant study.

Last night, I watched two movies and woke up at 3pm today.

Seriously, I need to get my act together and STUDY!!!

I am soooo in holiday mode right now. Someone please jolt me out of there right now.

Milk and its benefits. Yum!

For those wanting to shed a few pounds, drink milk.

Apparently, milk really does helps you to lose weight through some mysterious doing of its own, which has now been discovered by scientist. Dont believe me? Just google it. I can tell you a whole bunch of crap that I recalled from memory, but I dont remember any of it except the main point. There, all summerized for you.

If you have been reading the newspaper, or even have a bit of common sense, you would have known that Americans have been growing wider and wider but not taller. I wonder why. Is it because of all the suger that they have been accostomed to? Or is it because of the greatest excuse they came up with, of how they used to work really hard before technology and once technology arrived, their diet remained the same, and thus, they continued eating big potion. Or maybe, they are just freaking rich! How's that!

Well, maybe its because they dont drink MILK! Asians drink milk everyday. I remembered drinking milk every morning. Even in primary school, I was one of those few who ordered chocolate milk delivered to class once a month/week or something remotely like that. At home, if I didnt feel like drinking water, its milk time!

So now in U.S., I tried, I really did. To the gym I went but came back home losing so little pounds, its horrific for me to even weigh myself on the weighing machine. I didnt understand why I "look" the same, maybe even slighter thinner (consolation) than before but weigh more than I used to. It's baffling.

I am very unsatisfied. And mad.

From now on, its milk addiction time!

Gym Hype

Do you know why I go to the gym?

At first, it was because I was too bored.

Later, it becomes a habit.

Slowly, I increased my gym days from one...to two...to three days a week.

Why?

1) It is additive. Makes me feel good. "I go to the gym, therefore I am fit and I have a tone body and all the guys will like me." ;)

2) To get rid of dimpled fats. To my father..."Why! Why do I have such lousy genes?"

3) To maintain weight and to stop putting on POUNDS! >> In the rest of the world, its KG. In beautiful America, its pounds. When I step on the weighing machine, "Oh! Just one pound." Starts thinking..."Not too bad, still can eat..."

4) To lose weight. >> Shit lah. This is the hardest. Lose one pound...only 0.45kg!


Guess what.

Its wednesday today. And what do I do? 10a.m. The GYM! According to the treadmill, I used up 100 calories. "This is great!" Starts doing sits-ups and leg press. Loses another unofficial 100 calories.

9p.m. rolls around and I am working night shift. Suddenly, I have an insatiable hunger for food. FOOD! FOOOOD!!! Starts dreaming and goes to the vending machine. Sees a cinnamon bun with a label saying "Voted Best" or something the like. Decides to try it. Sssshhhiittt!!! 450 calories! Plus, there's the whole deal with the sat fat and trans fat. I feel a little mad at myself for being such a sucker for sweet things. Seriously. The whole America is built on suger. Everything is sickening sweet. Cant help but eat the bun anyway. After all, mother always say, "In China, there is NOTHING to eat."

40 mins later. Friend offers chocolate. Cant help it again. Yum. Yum.

20 mins later. Another friend offers me chocolate cookie. Munch. Munch.

In the end, I wonder WHY do I even bother... to go to the gym.

------------------------------------------------------------

pls: I hate cold sores and I hate pimples.
pls2: *Pump my fist up in the air and sings like a pirate* Tomorrow, to the gym!


Im pathetic.

Exchange Mail down...Hello!

Les Choristes

If you ever have time, watch Les Choristes. It is a french movie about a teacher who tried to reform the school children through singing.

The first time I heard them sing, I was in the language lab in school, and so I checked out the french songs. Caresse Sur L'Océan caught my attention. It was different from the rest of the other songs. It sounded angelic where no songs should. It sounded heavenly.

A choir. Of pubescence boys.

No wonder it sounded different. I couldnt pinpoint the member of the sex who was singing. It wasnt a girl, nor was it a boy. There are high pitches in the song and yet, it wasnt a girl. Unisex. Couldnt be. I checked out the song on the internet and realized it came from a french movie. The next harry potter, it said of the star acter, Jean Baptiste Maunier.

He was chosen based on his looks and singing, and he certainly didnt disappoint. I have been hearing his songs on youtube for the past few days, and im still hooked onto it.

In case you are wondering at his voice, there are apparently some russian singer, who could reach very high pitch, almost as good as a girl. He was featured on yahoo news a while back ago, and boy, was he great, not only to ogle at, but to hear too. My favorite type of eye candy. I mean...it must have been his amazing talent...of course! Vitas, I love you!!! :)

;)

Edit
I watched the movie today and it was fan-tes-tic!!! I push aside studying for my finals, which was a few hours away, just to watch the movie. And guess what, looks like I got the brain and beauty to pull it off. Hehehehe. Just found out I got an A. Lalalalala.


Oh shucks...it was all MCQs anyway :O

Snow, snow, snow...

It snowed. And snowed. Snowed. And Snowed...

I remember a time when snow doesnt fall from the sky. When all I ever wished for was a dream. Cast in imagination and filled with endless longing. Just imagine, being here, staying here, living up a unfathomable dream. But reality sinks in and I knew I wont be here but for my parents money. Just to see and touch snow, it counts. The money timer is continously running and every second cost just because I am here. It's easy to forgot the slogging that got me here. But somehow, it illuminates at the back of my mind, in between the white wonder and childish marvel of god-send serenity.

The wind roared through the skeleton trees and tiny ice cubes flew into my face. My fingers and toes were pain from the never ceasing cold but I had to pose for the camera.

I dressed unprepared. The last time it snowed was mild compared to this year. To combat the cold, I wore two thin shirts and one long-sleeve shirt, and finally my warm thin coat. A pair of jeans and ankle cotton socks and some unknown brand sport shoes, I was ready to head out and conquer the world. Of coz, I also finally gotten out my matching gloves and hat.

Well, few hours and one snow angel later, my fingers and toes were suffering from frostbite and it hurts so badly I took shelter in some buildings on campus that were still open. So the routine goes like this: Take pics, runs to warm buildings, take pics, runs again to another building.

My gloves were wet, my nose was running w/o me knowing. I touched it and realize...shit, the goo was already coming out. My pants was also wet because I made snow angel. At first, you can brush off the snow, but there will always be some stuck, and when you warm up, the snow melts and turns to ice. So guess what! Now my butt's wet.

PROPER ATTIRE: Wear ear muffs, waterproof gloves (e.g.leather), waterproof pants (e.g. those windbreaker material), waterproof shoes (e.g. leather). Good thing I have 'leather' shoes. My summer job, catering, required us to wear black shoes, so I bought one from wal-mart, scholl brand. Really comfy and looks professional too and frumpy to some, I suppose.

School closed two days in a row because of the snow. I am so darn happy. First snow to fall in Norman and campus had to close because of the 'hazardess' weather. I'm not complaining.

pls: Last year the snow was so thin, you cant even make snow angels. You fall and you hit the soil before you can even flap your arms. So this year is the best snowy year ever, I forgive the cold and the lifeless fingers and toes. Just give me the snow. :)

pls2: Its easier to drift. Think tokoyo drift. But of coz, the next day my friend tried to drift, the snow was so thick, its harder and the cops were around. I pity them. Still have to work. Hahahaha. ;p

Snow

It snowed today! Finally!!! :)

I woke up this gloomy morning, freezing inside my house. I knew it would snow later on the day, so I threw on a long-sleeve shirt and a wool-lined jacket. Happily, I went to school. Little did I know the first thing that greeted me was light rain after class. Not to be daunted, I walked to the gym, expecting the rain to go away.

Two hours later, I emerged from the gym. "It's a monsoon out there," one girl said to her friends at the counter. Sure enough, the rain was heavier. But it was no monsoon. When you are in oklahoma and it rains less than 20 times in a year. A drizzle is considered heavy and heavy rain is considered monsoon. I was mad because I didnt bring my cap. Snow, yes, I am prepared. The camera is in my bag. But rain?!

After my last class which I got out early because one girl said it was slicking. Yes! Snow. I came out of class and looked out the window. Shit! Rain! Heavy Rain!

Later, I walked out the doors and tiny ice hits my head. Woah! Its raining heavy snow! :) You think that snow would be lovely and everything would be white. My foot! The ground was muddy and slicky and there were some patches of white but there were too little snow...well..must wait till next morning.

The only thing im excited for is for class to get cancelled tomorrow. Yes. In oklahoma, one inch is snow is hazardess. Think further north in Michigan. My poor friend had to suffer through 6 feet of snow until his clothes are all wet, and still, he has to go to class. Boohoo.

Hehehe. Oklahoma, we're the best. :)

pls: Rain and snow on one day, means tml is going to be freezing. As much as I love snow, its now time for me to dig out all my thick winter clothings and huddled up. And I was so hoping that the temperate would be between the 60-70 F so my winter clothing could collect dust inside my luggage and I wont have the trouble of taking those musty clothes out. Dreams crushed.

Proof

I need to watch the movie, Proof.

Go check it out. Apparently, it came out in 2002 (what was i thinking...not knowing this movie! gasp!) and there are a couple of big stars playing it. Anyway, my friend said that it was pretty good. So now, I want to watch it.

Besides, Proof is somehow related to my class as well. I am currently taking acting for non-major and my scene is based on Proof. I thought it was a play, which are those u see in theatres, coz my class was geared towards stage not camera. So it was very surprising to me when my partner told me that proof was a movie too! Hehehehe. I wanna watch it now!

Pointless Facts:
1) I bought a mini cheese cake today.
2) I am going to the gym tml.

Borat and Stephen King

Borat - movie title which I dont know how to spell.

Borat is a movie about this guy from Khazastan going to America and learning about their culture. He is the main character and all others are real people.

Borat seems to purposely provoke and anger the Americans on purpose. While I think that the movie is 'funny', it is insulting to certain Americans because he ridicules them. He learns but he goes out of usual tourist way to make it funny. So everything about the movie is on the extreme side.

-----------------------

I finished reading Stephen King's Misery in 6.5 hrs. So much to read, so little time. My head is pounding for taking all the information in and blocking out most of them just so I can get an outline of the entire story. Personally, I am no fan of his books. This is the first one and I have to say, I am still NO fan of his books. The horror stories are gruesome but heck, its not worth my time. I just read it coz my frenz loan it to me and I wanted to finish it so that I wont hurt ppl's feelings. If I picked this book in the library, it would be shove back on the shelf in less than a second.

Ta-ta. Have to collect my 4 weeks laundry now.

Good Night.

I Support You!

Its a crazy world, but Im crazy too. ''I SUPPORT YOU!" - Playing a drinking game, becoming my partner and my fav line.

I spend thanksgiving in dallas, hanging out with a bunch of Hong Kong and Malaysian frenz. I actually only met some of them once or twice, and they speak fluent cantonese all the while, which makes it hard for me to understand or communicate with them.

Well, heck that! Apparently, drunk people speak english! For e.g. "Wake me up!" in a slurred voice.

I was playing a popular HK drinking game, the same one played in Pirates of the Carribean II.

Game Rules
1) There are 5 dices in a cup and you overturn the cup on the table and shake it.
2) You open the cup, but dont let the others see your dice.
3) First round - anyone starts. Subsequent rounds - the loser starts.
4) Call out a number of dice. E.g. If five people are playing, you can call out five twos, which means that you are guessing there are at least a min of 5 twos in all the 25 (total no.) dices. The first no called out must be equal or bigger than the amt of people playing.
5) One is a wild card, and can be anything unless the number is called out.
6) Senario: There are 5 ppl playing. A calls out 7 fours. (rmb, first no is equal or larger than the amt of ppl playing) B calls out 8 fours. (stakes must increase for either one or both numbers. Cannot call out 7 threes/twos/ones unless you call 8 threes/twos/ones.) C calls out 10 six. D doesnt believe there are 10 sixes in all 25 dices so D says 'open!'. Everyone opens their cups and the dices are reveals. Start counting the no of sixes everyone has, including ones, since it is a wild card and since no one has bet on ones. D counts a total of 11 sixes. So D drinks a can of beer coz he lost. If D counts 9 dices, then C drinks coz he is incorrect.

The game I played, each time you lost, drink a can of beer. Our fren had lots of beer in a slightly smaller can. But anyway, you can see how easy it is to get drunk. Lose 4 games, drink 4 times. I drank red wine coz I couldnt stand beer. Mine was 1/5 of a huge cup. So the amt is almost like in a wine glass.

Luckily, since I didnt know how to play the game at first, Ah Lam helped me. He is Ah Wing's younger brother and brothers dont exactly like to drink with each other. So anyway, Ah Lam became my partner after a while to help me out, since I was losing... Well, not only did he teached me the game, he helped me to make good decisions and drink some wine if I lost. Hahaha.

Bad news. Apparently, he got drunk later on. I was already half gone. I knew I was rather drunk but was still aware of my surroundings, and my head kept rolling around like when you are really sleepy coz it was late at night anyway. I went to the toilet a couple of times to get rid of the alcohol. Before I knew it, since my partner was still playing, he drank for me if 'I' lost, and besides, I knew I couldnt take in more alcohol. So I drank little and refused to play unless I drink water. You had no idea how stubborn Ah Wing was. He refused coz he said I can do it. I dont really recall what happened next. All I knew was I slowed down my intake of alcohol but my partner was suprisingly drunk for the next whole day coz he puked so frequently from the time he slept till next evening or night.

I slept at 6am and woke up at 1030am...feeling tired but still had the energy to eat dim sum. Lionel too. The other two guys slept like pigs and another two didnt really play a lot...so they didnt drink much either. Ah Lam was just holed up in his room the entire day. So he was out of the question.

----------------

This thanksgiving must be the wildest so far. Drank too much (before that I even had Neon Tower drink at a fancy revolving tower and I drank half of a girl's glass coz she didnt want to finish it. It was darn good. Coffee and alcohol.)

Things I did for the first time during thanksgiving.
1) Getting drunk/groggy but still sane. I still could count the dices. But my partner gulped down the alcohol too fast coz he thought we lost, even though we didnt. Haih.
2) Fishing. I didnt put the bait on the hook but I did throw the line and took loads of pictures.
3) Baby Dolls. Shucks. Unwilling, I had you know.

pls: I left my cleanser in their house. That's a first too, if you want to count it.
