Killer Taxi Fare T_T

I took the cab 2 days ago when I was rushing to work in the morning (due to my alarm clock and my having to wash my newly highlighted hair, which I kept washing red dyes off).

Oh yah, side-track a bit...FYI, I just did my hair last Sunday. 2 shades of mahogany and red, they call it highlight and lowlight...cost me a bomb but well tats the thing with being a girl...we like dolling up ourselves...keke!

Anyway, back to the cab issue. As most know, the taxi fares in Singapore have risen yet AGAIN. A half hour journey from Hougang to Tg Pagar area cost me $21.20!!!!! $*@^T$*@%!$^* tat costs like 4 meals to me T_T

Why is it so d@mn expensive? Yah, I know there is peak hour charge, CBD charge, ERP...but what other charges are there? Why does it hv to burn such a big hole in commuters' pockets???

With the EVER increasing transport expenses in Singapore, does it mean that we have to revert to our ancestors' way of transport - by "11"? "11" meaning using ur legs lah, resort to walking everywhere. So instead of waking up at 7am to get to work by 8.30am...in future, one has to wake up at 4am to get ready for the long walk to work. -_|||

You must think I am crazy for the above comment...yah maybe I am :P but still doesnt change the FACT that taxi fares are really high these days. Only consolation to me is that, the cab fare in Perth cost even higher than Singapore (at the moment)...

Addiction to YouTube.com

Found recently tat I am quite addicted to YouTube videos. Been doing a lot of searches recently on my idols' clips...especially my latest favourite search: Ming Dao ^^

Most of u are probably thinking...wats the big deal abt watching YouTube??? Well, for an IT idiot like me, ITS A BIG DEAL!!! Hahaha...I think I am constantly improving my knowledge on IT and closing the distance between me and this fast moving electronic age...YEH!

Anyway, I was blogging and watching YouTube right now and found this interesting clip on the making of the Bomba Bomba MTV by 183 Club. Do watch it...its cute!



I will be on the lookout for more interesting clips to link here so tat all of u can enjoy as well...but bear w me at the moment coz most clips might still be on Ming Dao and 183 Club. :P

Meanwhile, you guys can go www.youtube.com and find some interesting video clips to watch too...if u like it so much and want me to put on my blog, leave me a msg at my tagboard k *wink*

Funny Clip on Ming Dao ^^

Happened upon this on youtube, really funny clip on Ming Dao dancing with the same hands and legs together. Not an easy feat coz u see, even Gino from K-One could not do it...keke!

The Magicians of Love

As most of u know from my previous posts, I am really into Korean dramas. But wat u probably din know is tat I am into Taiwan dramas too. Not the draggy soapy type of olden Taiwan dramas, but the modern idol type of Taiwan dramas. I know I am not those young teenage girls who get obsessed over their suave handsome idols, but then I cant help but get attracted by the fairy tale storyline of such dramas. From Meteor Garden to The Prince Turns Into Frog, lately I discovered a new favourite: The Magicians of Love. The cast in this show is almost the same as The Prince Turns Into Frog...basically starring 183 Club. I am positively smitten by Ming Dao's charms...really cute and warm smile he has. Its surprising how I used to think he looks pretty ugly when I first watched The Prince Turns Into Frog...but then I guess his charms won me over. Well, do check out this drama...highly recommended by me!

Creative Juices Ran Dry???

I had wanted to blog abt some interesting activity chart of a certain individual a few days ago but after considering that the person involved might read my blog, I decided to delete the draft I did. Hmm, not becoz I care what this person might think or feel after reading my post...but coz this other person who is my fren might feel caught in the middle as this individual is her fren too. Well, it isnt all tat complicated. I am just sparing a thought for my fren ^^

So, tat left me with nothing really interesting to blog abt -_llll erm...I am not really tat creative in the first place...now wats left of my creative juices seemed to have ran dry...tats why all of u hv to read this lousy entry...lol...well, will try blogging something more interesting soon. :P

'Beng's & 'Lian's

Heard 2 comments lately that I am "LIAN"!!! How can this be??? There must be a mistake somewhere...I couldnt possibly be anywhere near tat expression....sob...sob...

It first started abt mid of this week, when my online fren HL (aka BabyXXX) asked wat kind of guy I like...then she answered for me and said that I like bengs!!! Aiyo, where she get the idea I dunno...she said from my photo, can see I like bengs....????.....got meh??? >< Then I said "Does tat mean I look lian?" And she answered YES!!! OMG!!!!

Then just now I went out w Amrita...havent met up with her for some time le, so had a lot of catching up. Well, we were having dessert at Swensens and chatting, then I was checking out this tall chinese guy. The sporting kind and a bit like those successful businessman who took time to bring his folks out for dinner. When I told Amrita, she was like "I din know u look at this kind of guy. I always tot u went for another kind of guy."

What kind of guy? Her answer: "Beng" -_lll

Aiyo...my most dreaded answer...why? why? why? She then explained that she classified the typical Singaporean Chinese guys as "Bengs". And also that I am "Lian". Her definition for "Lian"...typical Singaporean Chinese girls who seems a bit "uncultured"!!!...%&!*@()%^!&(#)$(^!@....where did tat come from??? Me uncultured??? T_T

Anyway, not too sure how I shld feel after these 2 comments from my frens...am I really "Lian"? And do I really like "Bengs"? Haiz.... -_- no comments liao...those who know me shld know...

Sleepyhead ><

A classic sleepyhead would have just overslept and be late for work or school. But me??? I am different.

Woke up at 6.30am this morning...brushed my teeth, showered, changed clothes, bag packed...all except my makeup. Then I was feeling rather drowsy so I decided to just let my head rest on my nice nice pillow and went on to lie down on my bed. Bad mistake! Bad bad mistake...I fell asleep again at approx 7.30am...by the time I woke up again, it was 8.30am!!! And I only woke up coz my parents knocked on my door and asked why I din go to work
-_lll

My mum grumbled when I asked if I shld take 1/2 or full day leave...sigh...grumble grumble...

So guess wat??? I decided tat rushing to work immediately would be pointless. Thus I took 1/2 day leave, went straight back to bed then and woke up again at 11am. Haha...refreshed!

Even have the energy to go for a swim after work just now...think the 1/2 day leave was worth it.

"The Story of the 3 Poohs"

Long long ago, there were 3 little pooh bears - Ah Poo (in yellow tee), Ah Poop (in green tee) and Whiny (in pink tee. They were such close siblings despite being step bros and sister.

One day, their mamee (my buddy at work is their mother) decided that they are old enuff to take care of themselves. So, she bought a 3-room flat for them. It was a teeny-weeny bit squeezy but it was a cozy warm home...


Tragically one day, a HUGE accident happened! Their flat collapsed into a pool of debris. Wat was even sadder was that the 3 poohs were home at that time and they were all crushed to death. Such a sad death for such lovely bears T_T


A lovely grave was dug to lay the 3 poohs to rest. May they Rest.In.Peace...

Behind z Scene of a Busy Street

I was walking to work from Chinatown MRT this morning, passing through the quiet streets and thinking abt the difference in the view there during the quiet morning vs the busy afternoon & evenings. The narrow streets are full of life and buzz in the afternoon and evenings, sometimes at night too. But morning is a drastically different story.

Locked doors of shops, empty tables and shelves, some rubbish lying around and guess what? Amazingly, I counted 5 DEAD COCKROACHES in the middle of the street tat I walked past! Goodness, just imagine how many more cockroaches there are (dead & alive) hidden in the depths of darkness, corners of stores/shops and in drains...~~shudder~~...and when I start recalling, I think I remember seeing dead cockroaches lying ard on the street every morning when I walked past. Eeeeewwwwww, cannot imagine what else is hidden behind the scene of these busy streets....~~shudder~~

Crazy vs Norm

I hate Mondays! Did I tell u guys tat b4? I really hate Mondays!!!
