Was awakened most rudely (ok, not rudely rudely but i got a shock) by a sudden nudge this morning... (in case u start imagining that my sister is abusing me ... i was referring to being awoken on the bus this morning ). So anyways, i actually wasn't really asleep. Just had a shut eye with my mp3 at a happy volume (aka... cannot hear anything else)...

 

.... I was lucky SGN was on the bus with me, if not... i think i'd missed the bus-stop and will be even later than i already was....

 

Anyways, we were then walking up to the office when she asked me if i was really asleep and so i was like... "No la, not totally asleep but i think i was dozing off... blah blah blah". So i was telling her that this always seem to happen...I get up bus, waste the entire journey staring at everything around me... and then i will feel drowsy only when i am about to get off the bus. Sigh...

 

To which... SGN replied, "That's murphy's law ma! You only doze off when u need to get off the bus."  

 

Anyway, with that thought in mind (i had an inspiration for an entry!!)...  

 

I remembered i came across this whole list of "murphy's law" thingy before.

 

 Enjoy nodding your head!!!..... (psssst: the last one ALWAYS happen to me) 

 

LAW OF TELEPHONE: When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged one.

 

LAW OF MECHANICAL REPAIR: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch.

 

LAW OF THE WORKSHOP: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

 

LAW OF THE ALIBI: If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire.

 

BATH THEOREM: When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.

 

LAW OF ENCOUNTERS: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

 

LAW OF THE RESULT: When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will!

 

LAW OF BIOMECHANICS: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

 

THEATRE RULE: People with the seats at the furthest from the aisle arrive last.

 

LAW OF COFFEE: As soon as you sit down for a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

 

... (while i was zoning out at my desk earlier on)...

 

I noticed that i've collected too much personal stuff at my office desk AGAIN.... Everytime i leave a company, i tell myself... next one, must keep the personal stuff at a minimum. In other words, i fail to do what i told myself to.

 

Then again, Sir Winston Churchill said that "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."

 

As such, I did not fail!!

 

In fact, I am successful.

 

I successfully moved from one failure (aka kept too much personal stuff @ work) to another (continued to keep too much personal stuff at a different job) without any loss in my enthusiasm!!! *muahahahahah*

 

Honestly, itz seriously not all contributed by myself... here's 3 that i got this year (and late last yr)....

The real deal... my representative sheep. Got this from Cynthia for Christmas last year...

 

The really cute black sheep holding a clover leaf from Suming and Lili from their recent NZ trip (I joking requested for a sheep and they got me one! Some more must get the black sheep... sigh, so little and so much said at the same time loh! ).

 

The really happy orange rabbit (think it ate too much carrot) from Stef... her farewell gift! (I have no idea why she gave me a rabbit but well, it's got my name sewn on the back... I'll give her credit for hard work!!! *wahahahha*)

 

(Update on 30 May 08: I finally found out why stef gave me rabbit!!! Becos according to the chinese zodiac... rabbits and ewes get along fantastic!)

 

There are a total of 4 toy rats/mouse in my living room (1 mama rat - my mum's born in the year of the rat, and 3 small rats mum bought from Ikea to signify her 3 darlings).

 

To give you a basic background... my mum has done small little things to "identify" her "kids" and what you see here... is ME. Being bullied by my sister.

 

Stuffed (head first) into the vase!

 

(Psst: I was shocked to discover this @ 1230am!! Culprit (aka my stupid sister) says, "Can't do this to the real person, so use the substitute loh!")

 

First and foremost... thanks to all who called/msg to ask about my dad. THANKS!!!!

 

Dad was admitted on 14th May for a prostatectomy and he has since been discharged and resting at home.

 

Pre-op... the checking in. (Dad: "Sigh..the daughter is at it again. Can dun take pictures?")

 

(The sidetrack... was pretty amazed how they offer apples almost everywhere! So die-die must take picture!)

 

Apologies for the digress...

 

The waiting... (dad subsequently ran away and sat beside me so that i will stop taking pictures of him)

 

Post operation... (Gosh.. heartache to see the number of pipes/bags linked to him but he still can act cool!)

 

And finally... convalescing @ home! (Sis and bro lost $$ to mum in a bet that dad will not read the books that mum borrowed for him on the account that he reads nothing but rubbish (aka gossipy chinese newspapers). But judging from the picture... we were damn surprised dad was being intellectual for once!)

 

Did I mention how i suddenly became more "domestic helper" this week than on regular days...?

 

But oh well, it was entertaining these past week seeing how my dad will purposely annoy/provoke my mum in order to see her responses...  (note to readers: my dad's been working night shift for the past 30yrs... he sleeps when we work, he work when we sleep... so it became very strange to have him around all day.)

 

Sometimes straying from the ordinary can be quite fun... =p

 

Had a pretty good experience yesterday when i went to waraku @ Marina Sq with my team for 2 colleagues' birthday celebration lunch.

 

i was sick of my usual food (which i swear is very delicious. I love stuff @ waraku) and decided to venture out to try something i've never tried before.

 

And so, i ordered this Cold Soba with sliced beef thing with sesame sauce and it was very yummmmmmmmmmm!

 

Side recommendation: One of my must haves when i go to waraku is the potato mentai! VERY VERY DELICIOUS!

 

So...go to Waraku now! http://www.waraku.com.sg/ 

 

My dearest Ginny invited me to join her for Broadway Beng! 3 last weekend... it was FUNTASTIC!!!

 

Who says theatre is only for the atas people? Together with his Drama-mama Chio-Buus and his super zai four piece Ge Tai band... I laughed till i pengsan (Read:faint) even with my practically-not-there command of hokkien.

 

I was even dragged to take picture with the ah beng after the show (sooo unglam can?!?!)...

 

I'm not good at taking pictures of food... but i swear it's alot more delicious than it looks!!! *LoL*

 

Our first taste of pumkin rice (proudly brought to us by MUMMY)...

 

I love those one-pot-cook-it-all stuff that my mum cooks! Mostest deliciousous!

This is what happened to mum after watching "Heroes"...

 

And Bugs Bunny...

 

Sigh.... The things my mum & sister do in their free time...

 

I'm sure everyone's encountered this at least once...

 

Anyways, since I've sold my bikey.. public transport is the way to go. And i do think i'm getting pretty good at finding my way around as compared to the beginning.

 

You know how frustrating it gets when you are late for work, and the stupid bus stops at the bus-stop but refuses to open the door  because it's jammed packed with people (people are practically plastered at the front door)... and so, you watch forlornly as the bus drives off. Only to realise that there's plenty, and i mean PLENTY of space towards the end of the bus! Everyone just refuse to move in... as if they are subletting the space for "ghosts". On most occassions, i noticed that there's usually at least 1 homosapien standing tall and proud (of cos la! so much space to himself!) at the end... but on tues night, i saw the strangest sight.

No one is standing from back door onwards!!!

 

But i can tell you... everyone is cramped up like sardines up ahead (the front half of the bus). How do i know you ask..... ??

 

I squeezed through. To find that there are at least 2-3 seats still avail at the back! (trust me... it's the kind where people are stuck to the front door kind of crowded!!! Up ahead.)

 

I wanted to ask the girl in biege khakis... "got ghost ah? why don't move in?"
