Hello, Bloo!

While sourcing for pictures of cartoons, I stumbled upon Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

And!!! I promptly fell in love with -

Bloo!

Go on, tell me that he is not cute *evil glares* So I went to Youtube and saw a few videos. Adorable~

Heehee. Bloo is now the wallpaper for my handphone :D

And during our boring feedback session today, I started drawing Bloo! But....

My Bloo went from looking like a ghost.

To looking like a retard.

To looking like a cranky ghost.

WAH! Hahas. But oh wells. My drawing is not excellent mah.

But yes (: My newest favorite cartoon, Bloo! Can't wait for the cartoon to arrive! :D

And if I can find a cute Bloo toy, I'll try my old soft toys away!

stay. away.

Relationships (and anything resembling it) has never been as unattractive to me as it has been now.

It took a conversation with ber to realized that.

All that checking the phone every few moments for his reply, feeling the need to constantly message him, the want to talk on the phone every night and the whole "I-just-can't-get-enough-of-you" things.

All these. All of them feels disgusting to me. I don't even know why.

In a relationship (and anything resembling it), it's not what you expect that's hard and sticky. It's HIS expectations that are complicating stuff.

For me. For now. I just want something with no complications.

You know, talk/message each other only if you feel like it.

Quite like what I had last year.

Kudos to all those who have ever been/are in a relationship.

And if I sound emo, I am not. I am just frustrated and tired and can't stand how some of my girlfriends are so eager to settle down. And this does not make me a loose-ey SPG or anything.

Yeah. Fun! Come this way.

Feast of Fury (:

Ever since I saw the commercial of Mac's Feast of Fury -

I have wanted to try! Like REALLY badly! But the mother unit has been cooking almost every night for the past week and there's no MacDonald near my workplace, I can't try!

But! TODAY! I tried it! Lunch with Sivan, Mabel and San! Okay, I was the only one who ate-.- But YES! I tried the Feast of Fury! Haaaaaiii-YAH!

I think I have 7 pieces of the spicy McNuggets. See, I had one before I decided to get the curry sauce. Then I brought one to munch on while I went to get the curry. I had another one before Mabel came. And when I look at my box, I still have 4 more left! 7!!! Hahas.

It was SPICY! Like really spicy! But it was SHIOK! No other way to describe it. And with curry, it taste heavenly! Haaaaaaiiiii-YAH! *licks finger*

Yups(: And I didn't realised it until I reached home and told my brother what I had for lunch. But (look at the video)....


(I need a phone that takes better video)

And I think I did a mini-version of it sub-consciously when I went to order the meal *digs hole and bury head* That will probably explain why the counter staff were laughing. BAH!

But yes! The afternoon was nicely spent talking and gossiping with the 3 girls(:

San left early, but Sivan, Mabel and I had ice-cream while on the way to the library -

My $1 Raspberry ice-cream cone(:

I borrowed 7 books from the library and Sivan bought 2 Freddy Krueger shirt. But that's another story for another time.

Off to bake!

it's frustrating.

To me, at least.

I really don't get some of my friends some time. Bestie included.

I don't know. For me, I make it a point to draw the line. If a guy likes me and I don't reciprocate the feelings, I either drift away or make it loud and clear to the person that we are friends. I won't go out with that guy unless it's clear to all of us that we are friends.

I will move it back to Friends territory because god forbids, I don't want to lead the person on. And I most definitely don't want to be nice and not hurt his feelings now. Because it will hurt more if it's allowed to drag and you continue to go out with the guy thinking that it's platonic while the guy thinks the other way. Like maybe maybe it's a date.

But some of my friends are just so nice. Too nice.

They go out with these guys (knowing that they might like her) and just let things go on. I guess, my friends are trying to be nice and not hurt the guy's feelings. And maybe they just hope they will start liking the guy after awhile?

As much as I love my friends, sometimes, I just have to shake my head and sigh in frustration. What to do?

Anyways, relationships are complicated stuff. STAY AWAY! For now, at least.

Flings and fun, come this way.

SM is like high school!

I'm in a foul mood. Not for the whole day. Just now. Now! So, the bitchy bitch is in da house.

This post is potentially offensive but do I care? No, I don't give a damn.

Sometimes, social media (using the term rather loosely here) platform is like high school. There's the exclusive club (with all the cheerleaders) and then there's the others. How mature.

And the people who are in the exclusive club are people who are always going on and on about how social media is all about breaking down barriers, connecting people, adding value and basically, bring world peace. Haa. My very flat ass is laughing here. Been ironic, much?

There they are going on and on about how social media is the be all and end all (or whatever that phrase is) and there they are building up the freaking barriers, forming their little exclusive club and probably thinking that SM is really about what they have said. Probably telling themselves that, "Yes! SM is about connecting people! Look at these new friends I have made! They are like me!Look at my followers!". Freaks.

If you observe Plurk or Twitter, you will realized that there's these few people who do not comment on posts that is not posted by their friends. Why?! Why?! Is it because they are always meepok posts? Posts about mundane stuff? Whine-like posts?

NO! NO! NO!

Conversely, when one of the members of the exclusive group writes a post, these few people will flood to comment, have their own private jokes and generally, behave like it's the best post in the world! When in actual fact, these people may just be writing a meepok-pok (i.e. very meepok) post like, "My nail broke!".

Like seriously? What's going here? Double standards? Exclusive club? Dis-connecting people?

I don't know. I really don't know how to describe the exact situation to you. How frustrated I feel.

Sometimes, I hate Plurksville, Twitterville and all forms of SM so much that I just want to shut them out.

But sometimes, it provides such good entertainment and there's always nice people like rinaz, hangzilla, nadnut and etc!

URGH!

Post about booty calls buddy coming up.

Edit: @iantimothy said that someone will snigger and call me a sourgrape. ooohh. that's so hurtful. NOT! pfft. Go back to your exclusive club *boo!*

Singtel Boo Boo.

It's the time of the year again! Time for me to change my handphone! (:

As I only change my phone once every 2 year, I take my time choosing and usually end up buying an expensive AND good phone. This time, I am eye-ing at Samsung Omnia!

I e-mailed Singtel customer service via their website and asked about their 21-month phone upgrade thingy. Got an auto-reply that said that they will get back to me in 5 days time.

I waited and waited. 5 days. 7 days. Nothing!

On the 9th day, I e-mailed them again and this time, the person called the very next day.

I asked about the 21-month upgrade and about getting bill rebates (everyone seems to be getting it but me).

The person told me both privileges are only for subscribers who have signed a contract. Huh? I have been with Singtel for almost 8 years! From the good-old days of PodLite till now! That means I have renewed FOUR 2-year contracts!

So I asked the nice lady to explain more and once again, she repeated the same thing to me! I told her what I just typed above and she repeated the same thing again! WHAT?!

After a few repeats of said scenario with me improving my questions and description, the lady said she will need to refer me to another department and get someone else to call me. Fine. Cool.

So this second lady called me. She said she couldn't answer my questions about the bill rebates! (WHAT?!) But she can answer my questions about the 21-month phone upgrade. She said, "Yes, Madam. You qualify for the 21-month phone upgrade."

Don't you think I know that from your website?!!

Then I asked, " How does the 21-month phone upgrade work? Let's say I would like to purchase the new Samsung Omnia. How much would that cost me?"

Guess what?! She quoted me some ridiculous price that is totally different from what I saw online and told me a price that is horrendously expensive! And worse of all! She don't understand how the 21-month upgrade works!

I had to ask her, "I read from the website that I am entitled $100 off from any handset I buy. Is it true?"

And she went, "Oh yeah! Let me calculate again!" And off she went calculating and after which, she quoted me the same price as before (i.e. without the $100 rebate!).

Like hello?!

AND! She said, "Samsung Omnia is about $798 with your plan." And I'm like HUH?! From the website, it said it's $698 with plan! I asked her and she mumbled mumbled (god knows what she said) and then said she will call me back again.

WHAT IS THIS?!

The whole point of calling and asking the customer service is so that I can get a better and clearer picture of their plans, right? So how come I end up teaching their customer officers? Who doesn't even know information that is published on THEIR website?

Fuming mad.
