my eyes are close to being a single line and i am still not be able to get to sleep w/o getting a few words off my chest.

today was a frightfully eventful day for all the wrong reasons. had a miscommunication with my mum over my late grandma's dedication mass. During lunch, my mum mentioned to me that we had to leave the hse at 6pm SHARP for the mass which she has requested for by a catholic church for my grandma. as i had tuition from 4-530pm, i told my mum that i will end arnd 545pm at AMK and leave straight for the church via bus 159. and she said ok.

while i was travelling on the bus at 615pm, reaching the church, i received a call from my dad and he told me that i can go straight home already for the mass has ended. apparently it started at 6pm and my parents left the hse at 5 plus! omg.

naturally my mum was pissed that i missed the mass and assumed i missed it cos i was reluctant to go. and at home, when i asked my mum to clarify if she gave me the wrong instructions, she uttered in her usual prim and proper tone that she TOLD me that we had to REACH the church at SIX PM SHARP and that i was NOT TO BE LATE.

well, i didnt take it too well obviously cos its my grandma's mass firstly, and secondly, i had to re-schedule my entire tuition to another day just to attend the mass. if i had been so reluctant to go in the first place, would i have changed the tuition timing and then miss it on purpose? seriously, i am busy. i dont have time to play such foolish games with myself. and of course, that being said, i will not be so obnoxious to assume that i heard right immediately upon my mum's statement. i mean that wud have been unfair. but my maid told me laughing a while before they reached home that she heard what i heard over lunch today. THERE. i dun wanna argue with my mom cos seriously she is acting like she is the only person who loves my grandma.

to think that at least they cud have called when they realised i wasnt at church at 6pm?! instead of when the mass is over? i dont know. maybe i am trying to find excuses for myself. but of course, i am in a bias stand to comment. i am just irritated and depressed now but i dun show it cos i know it makes everyone's mood worse. like my mom's pissed off attitude is already affecting my mood to do basically anything - even sleep. i know i am sounding rude and nasty and all but this huge chunk of emotions is really steaming off from the fact that i really made time and effort to attend it.

tough week ahead.

good luck with it.

this is such upsetting news that i simply dunno how to begin, or rather where to begin. i suppose if you are a loyal fan of power 98, it will probably be because of Shareen Wong and Joe Augustin. and if you are a loyal fan of the morning jam duos, you would probably be mourning for the loss of 2 great DJs who got fired by the radio station due to unknown reasons.

i'm not trying to be bias k..but i know i will probably roll my eyes when the reason comes out anyway. so to save myself from the unneccessary trouble and hassle of complaining to everyone i meet, i will just not find out and think of the most reasonable excuse as to why they got fired.

first maggie... then hossan leong...then now...aye...

gross.

ultimatum.


ultimate gross.



wait, can this be on the guiness book of records for the most disgusting thing of 2009?

ugh.

how to wake up in the mornings now? hai....

okays...so for the first time, my mum understood how it felt to attend something you didnt really want to go for and on top of that, miss your show and get stuck in that place for more than 2hrs. eeps!
well, long story cut short, she went for a wedding dinner with my dad, reluctantly i may add. However, because she missed the first wedding dinner that this same family threw for the first daughter / son, and the dad (who is my dad's friend) wasnt pleased, she turned up for this one out of courtesy. haha
my plans of spending some time alone at home, of course, needless to say, was completely dashed by her continuous sms bombs to me, asking me to talk to her. haha. just thinking of the many times she told me to put my hp away when i was msging my friends during some dinner makes me wanna laugh. anw, so being the experienced person in this field, haha, i did a countdown of the no. of dishes left with her for the entire dinner. hahha never seen this side of my mum before..it was quite cute.
well, i have been to few weddings and might i add, even fewer interesting weddings. of course, some were hilarious and downright entertaining. but some, you just tell yourself to eat. I suppose no couple will ever wanna admit that their wedding had been boring or dull, and to a certain extent, its even true. cos that occassion is the most significant to them, more than anyone else in the room. and because you have been the one seeing to the nitty gritty details from day one, and rushing abt before and during the banquet, no way you will say it had been dull.
for me, after attending those few weddings, i realised that sitting with the right company is essential for having a happy wedding dinner. like for my mum's case, well, of course she didnt enjoy herself a variety of reasons. firstly, she is the ONLY lady at the entire table of 15. Secondly, all the men there happened to be my daddy's old friends. none knew my mom, except for acknowledging her as my dad's wife. wedding dinners are actually one of the ways for people to catch up old times with their loved ones and friends - though it is a pretty expensicve way. but its the truth cos you wun actually see the wedded couple for more than 15 mins of the entire dinner actually. so you are required to self entertain if there isnt a lively host during the wedding. if i have to sit with a group of people i never met before, of course i will simply be just eating dully for the next two hours of the evening, like my mum, who is naturally quiet.
but that being said, i still think planning for weddings are interesting though. although i only helped out for a small part for one of my ex. colleagues' wedding last year - with the wedding montage - it was interesting to learn to do new stuff, and of course, hearing pple asking arnd who did the montage for the couple and receive comments from your other colleagues things i can improve on next time, and that it was in general quite nice - for an IT noob. ahhaha nah...of cos they didnt add the last part. but for an IT noob like me, it was quite fun to do.
orite. i just felt like typing out some stuff on my blog.
still counting down the days to which i can receive my driving license! WHOOHOO!!!!

would i find the right tune for these lyrics:

i wish i can see the path laid for me and see what happens to me till then.
but i know i cant, so i'll keep asking myself - if this feeling is right.
or is it just another wrong attempt to hide an unavoidable truth.
hints are as far as i can bring myself to go.
to tell it to you, point-blank in the face, is almost too much for me to bear.

i hope i find it soon...=(

yay...i passed my driving course le!! hahah i am officially a driver in singapore now so cars, please beware. ahaha. the morning didnt start out too great though when i was preparing to go for my test. i fainted in the toilet...low blood my parents were saying. thankfully i was in my parents' toilet when it happened and not alone in some public toilet. that wud have been worse i guess. almost couldnt make it for the test but oh wells...its worth the shot. haha.

i still cant believe i didnt hit/mount/strike kerb. haha for the past few lessons, i am mounting kerb like it was a requirement to pass the test. ugh. anw, my parents were sweet. they followed me to the driving centre, partly cos they were afraid i was gonna faint again and of cos to support me =) but then, afterwards, my mum told me that she was actually discussing with my dad if they can apply for the retake of driving test straightaway after i fail, even before i got into my car. >.<" well, cant expect them to have much hope after the "kerb" issue and the "low-blood" issue, can they? aye, anw i surprised them by passing 1st time!!! hahahaha

shud have seen me as i came out from the tester's room. haha. i was like one of those contestants on American Idol who got their ticket to Hollywood!! hahah. i tot i would fail actually cos out of paranoia, i felt i hit kerb or veer off course...anything that is under the immediate failure column..haha but i got 6 demerit points! hahah out of 20! yays! the instructor wasnt as bad as he looked too..haahaa.

went to apply for my driving license today. will be receiving in a month's time. can't wait. hahaha.
