Last Saturday's Fashionista Flea @ SMU was surprisingly great!! Sold alot of items and half of it was because of Vic's idea HAHA! He managed to sell his own shirt and Sara also sold alot including 2 instock bags, so all in all, for this flea, we EARNED! So happy, yhat we had Moo Gra Tah again at GM as a form of celebration. Then, went up to slack at her house, watch soccer and played with her dog. At 11plus close to 12, Jaime and I went down to Sara's step dad's pub, Chaiyo Chaiyo, cos PP wants to go there and drink so he invited me to go down and sing. Drank and sang till the shop closed, Sara's mother sang a song before closing, damn funny can.. HAHA! =P I wish my mother was as hyper as hers.. haha~ Happy all day long...

Anyway, we're having a flea again at SMU as we're quite confident that it'll work out well like the previous one or maybe better than the previous one. =) I need to work out on a business plan, I should start something already, I hope Sara's willing to partner with me! HAHA! Will you will you!?!?! And of course my sister's very keen on it too. =) Shall plan this slowly when I have time..

=)

Went GM to Loy Krathong last night with Sara, my sis, Jaime and PP. Before that, we had dinner at Sin Lai Lai Thai Food, their Tom Kha Gai's really fantastic and I really love the Pad Gra Pao Kai Yeow Maa, we actually wanted the Yum one, think I ordered wrongly, pfft. hahaha! But anyway, the food's delicious and it's worth every penny! I think I'm gonna frequent there.. hahaa, oh yah, TONIGHT! Gonna get some serious work done, we have to make our banner for our flea this weekend, lalala. So exciting!! Can't wait, wonder how much we can sell, I haven't thought of the price for my items, prolly discussing it with Sara later this evening. =)

Think that's the highlight for this week, heh. Oh yah, pictures of last night, too bad can't take a photo with my krathong =( PP was busy adjusting my cam while I'm waiting but the candles couldn't wait so I said forget it and I just loy-ed, and guess what, stupid current kept floating the krathongs back -_-zzzz I miss Loy Krathong in Thailand! It was awesome!! But last year, the candles on Wit's and my krathongs blew out before we could even place it on the water. -_- Miss those days...sigh. Pro said next year I must go for the Yipeng Festival in Chiangmai, it's like Loy Krathong but it's releasing lanterns to the sky, which I think is quite romantic HAHA! =D Can't wait.

  

 




Update : Thai song lovers~ I've just updated a new album of Am Fine. Please go to thaimusic  to get it! Enjoy!! 

Yes! Finally we're DOING it! Sara and I are gonna sell our second hand goods there for weekend, Sat & Sun ( 7th & 8th Nov). It's my first experience and I wonder how it'll turn out next week. Please pass the word around people~, hehe. It's at Katong Village, under a huge white tent. I'll probably be selling clothes that have been worn like 1-2 times and prolly some clothes that I've never worn at all (shopping boo-boos), so exciting!!! Can't wait!!

Anyway, I'm in a chirpy mood today cos Liverpool won Man United, 2-0 last night, LOL. And, it's gonna be another busy week for me. And I still haven't bought my winter clothing, tsk tsk tsk. I will need to pick a day to go ION, I heard there's a good winter clothing line there, prices are reasonable too, ION anyone? Can visit Mr Victor Timothy Anthonio Anthony there too~ hahahaha! Find that man-bitch for lunch/dinner perhaps?
Been hanging out with that man-bitch and his funny weird friends quite often, hmm...and yeah, catching movie with Ah Yun and VTA this week as well, mustn't forget! =D

We should do bowling someday man and more pig-out days, should make it once in a week thingy. I've been prawning once a week now, HAHA! And what I do with the prawns I caught? I cook it in different ways, fried it with butter and 2 weeks ago, made cereal prawns with it. Mr PP's like getting quite sick of the prawns I think, my sisters as well... hahaha!

My life is super 充实 now, every minute every second there's always things to do. Been freelancing with a company (confidential) for a month plus already, job's easy, I just have to transfer those thai exams scripts from hardcopy to softcopy and each question is $1, so I always have these coming every month, 4-5 sets, so prolly $400-500, good money right? My old sec sch mate recommended me that, she saw that I could type thai in FB. and she asked if I was interested and I immediately accepted her offer. HAHA! It's quite exhausting also, gotta squint my eyes for those super tiny words, can't make any mistakes, so gotta check once in a while, it's tiring okay.... but it's something I enjoy doing, and it brings my thai to another level, which is something good. 

Okay, I can go on and on about my recent lifestyle but I think these is just about enough to compensate for not writing for so long.. =D
Btw, I've posted 2 entries for 2 albums in thaimusic , one is Da Endoprhine's album "Love Records" (compilation of her old hit songs and 2 new singles) and another one is my current favourite 7 O'clock, album "Post Meridiem", I've heard one of their singles and it's quite good, it's just 5 songs in this debut album, so it's worth a try =)

My mom has Facebook. Should I add her? Hahaha! Allow her to step into my absurd, crude, humorous network.

Tsk tsk tsk. You guys don't post provoking comments on my profile kay? It'll be teeny-weeny bit hard to comment back LOL!!!!!!


I'm just kidding. =)

Watched "ROOMMATE" yesterday with PP, I mentioned about this movie before HERE. It's almost like "Dear Dakanda" aka เพื่อนสนิท but PP said that he prefers "เพื่อนสนิท". Probably cos it's much more comedic than "ROOMMATE". So, after "ROOMMATE", I felt like watching เพื่อนสนิท all over again, haha. Luckily, I burned it already so watched it with PP,  that mutt totally forgot there's work the next day. tsk. He slept straight after that. But the ending is super sad, I teared again, just like 4 years ago, teared in the cinema with Pro. LOL.

Btw, my ticket to Japan was booked today, this agent, also a friend of Jasmine Seng forwarded me the itinerary. So, this is it. I'm really going to Tokyo this coming Christmas and staying through the New Year there. Clueless about what kind of winter clothing to buy and I seriously don't wish to get a long john for it, cos it's so expensive and I don't know when I'm gonna use it again after this trip. -_-
I think I really need to borrow it from my relatives already.

Jaime, my younger sister just flew to Thailand on Saturday, that crazy girl is really fast about deciding to go Thailand, she bought the ticket on the day her decision was made. Crazy. Ended up I went with her to the airport cos I wanna get Japan map, PP wanted me to join him and P'Ae for fishing, so after sending that crazy girl, I went straight to East Coast, where his gang of friends were fishing by the jetty-like bridge. Got so bored, cos I'm the only girl there. -_- Fortunately, P'Ae has a lappy, so I strolled down to Mcdonalds with it and used internet there. And then it got bored again, after I updated all my games in FB, so I strolled back to the jetty area, by then it was really late at night already, don't feel like tonning at ECP too, so I bugged PP to go home. Bickered abit here and there in the taxi about irrelevant matters that's unworthy of my consideration. He gave me some advices and then slowly, no more bickering, I ง้อ-ed him abit, then everything back to normal.
Recently, too many quarrels over stupid trifle matters that totally don't relate to me. I should stop.

Gonna relax myself this evening with the usual suspects. Bowling!!! woot.

My colleague threw me odd crap to do again, had to chase this company in Thailand for their goods. So I called this Thailand after finishing the insurance documents... and it was uber farnie, I had to control my laughter throughout the conversation.

It went something like this..


Me : Hello, I'm from Singapore Liannex company, can I speak to Mr Somsak?

Random lady : Mr Somsak go for run.

Me : Huh? I'm sorry can you repeat it louder?

Random lady : Mr SOMSAK GO FOR RUN

Me : Huh? Run?

Random lady : HE GO FOR RANCH.

Me : ...

I stopped for a second and spoke to her in Thai again.

Me : ขอโทษนะคะ ไม่เข้าใจที่คุณพูดเมื่อกี่อ่ะค่ะ Mr Somsak อยู่ไหนนะค่ะ (I'm sorry, I don't understand what you've just said earlier, where is Mr Somsak?)

Random lady : อ่อ เค้าออกไปทานข้าวเที่ยงแล้วค่ะ  มีอะไรจะฝากบอกเค้ามั้ยค่ะ (Oh, he went out for lunch already, is there anything you wanna leave behind?)

Me  : อ่อ ค่ะ นั้นไม่เป็นไรแล้วค่ะ ขอบคุณค่ะ (Oh, Okay, then it's okay, thanks)

Random lady : ค่ะ สวัสดีค่ะ (Okay, Bye.)


*hang up*



HAHAHA. It was the joke of the day in my office. LOL

My thai godmother aka my ex ladyboss in Siam D called me and Jaime about our friend, Ricky's, sudden death. We were caught my surprise cos it was in the morning when she called to tell us and ask if we would like to go for his funeral. Ricky, was our ex-friend and colleague from Siam D 3 years ago, he came after me and my sister were already working there for a year. We used to hang out in Golden Mile with Pro,Por, Jack, Sombat and him, every Sunday, karaoke-ing and drinking like nobody's business then when night falls we head to work at Siam D.
The reason why its always so fun in Siam D is because there's Ricky, Sombat and Jack around.. I loved these people, always making people happy despite how messed up their life was. Then came a day when me and sister left the place cos of an arguement with Ah Ma's gig, we hated this guy who came out of nowhere, like Ah Ma's gigolo, hated him to the core that I'd hurl when I see him in GM. After we left, things started to change in Siam D, though I won't say it's because of us things start to collapse one by one, customers started to go to other discos.
Ah Ma got desperate and tried to get us back working there but I was already settling down at my mom's company and my sister was in Uttaradit. Ricky wanted us to go back too, but I told him we would never step into their grounds anymore, wanna have nothing to do with them.
Then, slowly, we drifted away from one another, Jack left too, to work at GM, shall not disclose. Only ones left are Ricky and Sombat. Pro and Por went back Chiangmai for studies and work. Then 2 years pass, totally no news of Ricky anymore. Never saw him again.
Until recently, this call from Ah Ma, caught us off guard. Called Sombat and Jack who are still here in Singapore and I told PP to meet us up at GM, we're gonna meet Ah Ma and give her the "white gold" as we can't make it to his funeral cos of certain personal reasons we don't wish to disclose. I can't imagine those last words I said to him... and I really felt ashamed that I didn't go for his funeral. Sigh..
Then this morning, Por called and ask whether the news was true, Pro MSNed me about the details, but most of us speculated it was heart attack, Sara and May knew him too and Sara shocked me with another news about Ricky too. -_- His life is so damned, I can't imagine.

Really sorry man, but whatever it is, you'll be remembered by us for the rest of our lives cos during those times in Siam D, it was the best time of my life, I hope so for you too I guess.

This is a rather old art film, think it was back in 1996. Liv Tylor and Rachel Weisz was in it, that's why I wanna watch. Very arty feeling throughout the whole show, and you get to see every kind of art being performed - Dance, sketch, poems, wood carving..etc. Very inspiring as well. Liv Tylor acts as Lucy, a 19 yr old teenager flying to Italy in search of her "real" father and to have her portrait done. Filmed in a very beautiful spot in Italy, a shame I don't know where it is. -_-
Alot of matured themes, cos it's art, I hope no pea-brain horny bastard watches it and masturbates. -_-

But gosh, Liv's gorgeous and I love the poems she wrote in the movie. I'll pick my favourite one.

Few entries back, said I was going somewhere to see snow yeah? LOL. Well, turns out my friend, Jasmine Jap (cos she's a Jap freek), also has plans to go Japan. And she's going to Kobe, Kyoto and Osaka. I've always wanted to visit Kyoto, place filled with ancient culture and the shrines. So... I told my relatives yesterday that I'll forfeit going to Hokkaido to see snow next year, instead I'll join Jas in her 12 days trip to Kobe, Kyoto and Osaka, at the end of this year, December 22nd till the 2-3rd of Jan. Yeap, we're going to celebrate both Christmas and New Year there. It's gonna be a dream come true for me, haha, I've always wanted to visit Japan and learn their language but never had the chance to, or should I say, I'm not determined enough to, hahaha! We're booking our flights at the end of this month, and do you know why I'm so quick to decide about this upcoming trip? Have you guys seen how the price of air tickets been reduced? I betcha jaw drop, Japan Airline some more okayyy... HAHA! 

I'm paying blardie hell $500 including GST & Tax for this ticket. woot. =D
Miss Jas-Jap here has all the lobangs.


Btw, I'd like to share some Thai music here. Go

thaimusic and lookout for my recent post, I just posted it this morning. This band is something like Mild and Scrubb, they were already popular in the Net (thanks to Myspace), now they've emerged as a successful band which makes their own songs and lyrics. Truly talented. I like! 
 

 

Ok, so yesterday, had a long talk with my other sister Jaime, about our youngest sister, Jessie. Somehow, I feel sorry for mom, it's not that we're ignorant about what she did for us ever since we're young, no, we know it and we understand. Just that, my mom will never ever approve of something so sensitive and serious for a person's life, moreover it's her daughter, my sister. It's nothing about the religion in fact, my mother asked her why can't they wait till they're older then talk about it like matured adults. Converting now is like eloping, irresponsible and so naive. What's more, she met him from a network site like Hi5. I really don't get it, I'm sorry for if I offend anyone but it's impossible for me, cos all these are like teens stuff, we've been there and we've grown up now, so how come some people still can't differentiate these from reality?

My mother asked her in a way I agree with her, she said, "Is he able to support you now?",
"Does he have a proper job as a career to give you at least a life without worries?",
"What has he done for you so far so much so that you want to convert for him?",
"You're only 21 and your making big life changes, are you sure you won't regret in the future? Can his words be trusted now? You people are just kids, you don't know what is real love",
"What's the next thing if you convert? Marry him? Can you even trust your life to him when he doesn't even make an effort to come forward and introduce himself in a proper manner?",
"Why can't you wait till you get to marry him already then cconvert? Why now? Don't convert just to impress someone"...

And she kept saying 21 years old so what, you're an adult by age but is your mindset 21? Mature? No, I don't think so. Seriously speaking, even for myself, I don't think I can call myself a matured woman or anything but at least I'm willing to accept this realistic world, stop dreaming and get your hands on something tangible instead of dreaming of an intangible something when it's so far ahead. It's not like its the end of the journey for you now and we're not running for time, so why the rush? I wanted to talk to my youngest sister but like a saying goes..

"当局者迷，旁观者清" simply saying, "A spectator knows better than the chess player: the one with his personal interests and stakes involved does not see or think as clearly as one who is disinterested." ..

You can't talk someone out of it, especially when he/she's so into another person. You can only watch, and this is why my mother's in a very difficult position to give her opinion, what's she gonna say? No matter what she's gonna say it's gonna ignite another negative response from my sister and knowing her to be such a quick tempered person, she might leave or maybe elope? Geez.

Now I know how it feels like being a parent, it's not easy to have your children see eye to eye with you in things like these. Our parents give birth to us, filling their minds with countless possibilities for us in our future and what my sister did was like tearing up her hopes in pieces, its not like we have to follow her kind of dreams for us to be happy, we have our own opinion as long as we're safe and properly provided for, of course she will never willingly present us to a man with unstable financial situation or a dodgy family background. I know I'm no good example, at least PP doesn't have a dodgy background, mom didn't expect for me to meet a Thai man, well honestly speaking, I didn't expect to spend my life with a Thai man either. No, at least I wasn't a fan of these kind of things before, not ever, I love the language and I really really LOVE the language, I don't learn it to impress any Thai men, moreover, when I met PP, I already knew how to read and write Thai. We just happen to meet and we click and of course we didn't start out as lovers right away, we were friends and he always comes to my workplace to impress me. I loved PP for who he is not because he is Thai, I don't harbor this aim in my mind when I was in the Thai community before. Proving this unity with my mom wasn't easy either and I never did told anyone the journey of letting my mom approve of us, two words, "not easy", long story and its nothing like drama. PP showed his determination with action not empty words.

Maybe this is alittle subjective and I don't ask for anyone to see eye to eye with me at all, just a little thought which me and my sister, Jaime came up with after our talk last night. Jaime always uses her head first before her heart, unlike me and my youngest sister, we use our heart and then our head. Ironically, she was the one who taught me how to tame PP and remind me never to succumb to him so easily.

Anyway, my mother did not disapprove my sister of seeing her malay bf, it's just that my sister's sudden decision to convert NOW, is really not a very good idea. Wait till she turns 24 or 25, I'm sure there's bound to be some conflicts of interest between one another. Cos we know people change, c'mon don't give me the "love doesn't change" shit, face it okay, this is the real world. I can even tell you what me and PP, 3 years plus, what we have now is not just love, it's commitment, appreciation and admiration, and we BUILD this up, it doesn't happen overnight. *rolls eyes*  As long as we're sure about our partner, a soulmate who will walk through your entire journey of your life together, it's more than enough. Happiness is not something you have to walk the journey, it's a destination for you to achieve. Isn't that right?


Somehow, I'm quite disappointed with my own sister for being like this too, I mean for friends, it's their bloody freedom, I can wash my hands off, but this is my sister and for once in my life, I felt so helpless to my own sister.

My youngest sister just came out of my mother's bedroom, crying. Sigh. I hate all these late night quarrels over serious issues over money and relationships. Jaime and I were outside trying very hard to eavesdrop but I couldn't get much, Jaime did. I knew what they're gonna talk about and I did tell my youngest sister that now its not the best time to talk about something that might ultimately change a life.

My youngest sister wants to convert... to a Muslim. I'm not against the idea as it's just religion we're talking about but I know how my mother feels too and regarding this matter, my bf got chained into the problem too.


... I need to talk to Jaime now, I'll return to update more... the entire house feels so tensed, just wanna snug into my comforter and hide
.. like old times.. =/



hate this.. be back tomorrow morning...
