i love toot toot tortie!!!

haven't been blogging at all, as anyone can tell. should've declared my blog to be on -hiatus mode-.

so i guess i'll make my bday celebration a start for this post!

celebrated with 3 other gals and 2 guys on Wed 23/8 (the eve of my bday) :P muahahaha the gang of shereen, jane and cheryl.. and doodoo and fai of course!

i was kinda sick of having jap food for both lunch and dinner on tues.. so i eventually settled on pastamania. i felt it was the easiest and most convenient thing for everyone.. as everyone could just choose what they wanted to eat..~ they bought me a cheesecake.. with oreo and chocolate fudge.. and the chocolate taste just flooded my mouth. haha. there was a candle on the cake.. which i thought was a cute gesture!

also, they bought me a HUGE soft toy. actually, i'd just call it fat. and cuddly of course!! i think i shocked everyone by jiggling its legs. by the way, it is a TORTOISE! called kuma kuma.. and she comes with a picture of her boyfriend attached to her hand!.. (who looks just like her - just that he doesn't have extended eyelashes, blush and a FAT ribbon). she looks so dumb and innocent - that's why i love her. all the "ben ben" and stupid looking things in the world! haha. i also cuddled it like mad in front of everyone - absolutely adoring it like nobody's business at that point in time.. and to the extent that i couldn't even remember if they were laughing at my actions :(

hm. i also squeezed the fat ribbon on her baldie head.. and smoke came out! it was seriously swirly smoke that headed upwards for the ceiling.. but nobody else noticed except Shereen :( i wonder what in the world that was..?!?!?! perhaps it is Tortie's birthday pressie 4 mee!

ahh okay. i actually just want to move on to other stuff.. that's more recent. things like having bad service last week at Plaza Singapura's Pastamania. the manager was blunt, rude and totally un-apologetic about the mistake his staff made.. and the way he spoke to me was just made me feel so ARGH. he just came in (in the middle of nowhere) and told me that his staff is "new and he's from indonesia" - so am i supposed to take that as an excuse and that I am the customer who's in the wrong because i had asked the wrong person for information? My Goodness! they told a lie due to ignorance and God knows what! a promotion they had was not available for takeaway but the staff who made the mistake told me that it was! best of all, i was only told of the guy's mistake AFTER i placed my order at the cashier. i am NEVER going back there. this is the problem with franchise-owned places. they always have an ATTITUDE PROBLEM. its the same with the people at the 7-11 near my place. totally unhelpful and HECK-CARE. seriously, i'd get 200% better service at macdonalds anytie.

on the same day at PS, this boorish looking uncle just cut my queue at the ATM. i was next in queue, and as i was gonna walk forward to slot my card in, he just CUT himself in. he was the kinda guy who didn't have a conscience and simply walked away after he was done.. looking at nothing else but his receipt. (quite obviously he couldn't care less about what others like me thought about him cutting the queue and so he just went ahead and did that!).. so i felt it wasn't worth my time and effort telling such people off. but i was mad nevertheless - i haven't met anyone who cuts the queue in a pretty long while. i just told myself that that was an unlucky day. bleargh.

just when i felt singapore was a good place to live in.. and that people were becoming more and more gracious.. these stupid incidents just proved me wrong. and these are the incidents that make me doubt the effectiveness of those courtesy-campaigns and advertisements and tv programmes!

now just what is the whole point of speaking nicely to unreasonable people? because when i speak to them.. and i get crappy and "i-have-an-attitude-problem" kinda responses, they just make me not want to talk at all.

well i guess beebeebee is so full of complaints! cos my next post is probably gonna be about my job experience with Shereen. quite obviously i quit it.. if not i wouldn't be so free to blog ^^

2 more days till doodoo's enlistment date :( i can imagine the feeling of loneliness creeping up on me! we've been having lots of fun EATING and EATING! i love every meal that we had together ^^ and i can't help but feel that time passes way too quickly when we're happy.

hmm. i also shopped too much online. to the extent that i'm starting to feel broke. tons of pretty stuff have not arrived.. and so i can only wait in anticipation!

cheryl & shereen showed me an american webby with totally funky tees. i was on the verge of getting them but i stopped myself because i remembered the lot of stuff i bought. i wasn't sure if i was ever gonna regret not getting those totally-funky tees, but i should thank my sense of self-control for helping me to put up a fight against impulse buys!

i term funky tees as tees with funky sayings (duh!)... and sometimes, a thought just occurs to me that we could go to a shop and print those words on our own tee. being able to choose our own tee also means that we could choose one with a cutting and colour that suits us! and with that thought.. i become hopelessly indecisive about purchasing those tees that are otherwise known as plain tees if words weren't printed on 'em. T_T

i'm looking forward to meeting up with everyone. this is the 3rd week of my holiday since school started.. and i've yet to meet up with jiahui, ailay! i also want to meet mellypoo~~ T_T and because of that, i hope that Nov comes soon.. but i also have contradicting feelings.. cos the sooner we reach Nov, the sooner my hols end! :(!
