There's beauty in the breakdown

Did I tell you Boys like Girls is coming to town? And Paramore?! Yeah I know I did, but I just wanna type it again. So frigging awesome! I just hope when I have the money, the best tickets are not sold out yet cos I depleted my savings shortly after receiving my NETS card. I'm sure I'm not the only person who cannot control herself. It's amazing. I think in my Sony Walkman, if I were to pick some bands always on playback that I listen to and have to see before I die, I think I'd totally be (in order first-last)

1.Boys Like Girls (Seriously you gotta hear them acoustic, they are sooooooooo good and the lead has got the sweetest voice. I'd absolutely die if anyone sings like that to me. Urrgh Let Go cover listen-to-it loud at least once before you die! It sent like tingles behind my back)
2.Paramore
3.Cute is what we aim for/All time low
4.Nevershoutnever/ The Hush Sound

So it's amazing the top 2 are coming, this is frigging awesome. The rest I might never get a chance to see cos they haven't gain enough popularity here, but I think there's hope for All time low!

Anyway, work today was GOOD! Started off with May and another girl Li Ting, both of them way older than me but they are both so nice to me! So frigging patient, and they so wanna teach me stuff. I LIKE! Then they both left and got replaced with this China guy with the brownest eyes and this other guy from NUS. I can't remember their names heehee this is unforgivable. And they are both awesome, so frigging nice to me! The China guy most of the time don't understand half a word I'm saying, but the NUS guy does so I can't really chat much with the China guy cos he would look at the NUS guy and ask for a translation.

Oh yes, and you wanna know a major peeve of mine since I started working? I've got asked like at least 10 times where I'm from! As in what COUNTRY I'm from. Like HONESTLY, where do I look like I come from?! Look at that pic to the right, I'm totally born and bred in Singapore, can't you tell? So far I could be from Malaysia (this one still understandable), Philippines (WHAT?) and even Myanmar (DOUBLE WHAT?). And some even refuse to believe I'm from Singapore. I wanna choke them. Then there's this guy who says if you're really Singaporean Malay then you'll be able to speak mandarin. That I can do so I pretty much impressed the guy, and everyone working there also cos I speak basic Chinese to them sometimes, esp since they speak Chinese too. Thank you Chinese shows. And sometimes customers think I'm Chinese, and I say no I'm Malay in Chinese so they can get pretty confused after that. Haha. Or I might tell them my Grandmother is Chinese, then they nod their head like they understand and then I go "But my grandfather is Indian" (This is just fun to tell everyone so everyone who knows me knows) and then they go What? Haha!

Anything funny today? Hmm. Well for one there's once the toilet REFUSED to stop flushing. I kicked it and katate chopped the button but it just wouldn't stop so I went back inside and asked the NUS guy if I should tell anyone about it because it probably won't stop anytime soon. So anyway like 15 minutes later the car wash guy beside came and he knew the toilet (female) couldn't stop flushing so I was like giggling how the hell did he know but a logical explanation could be the water supply is connected to the car wash place. Haha.

And another one when I came back from the toilet I kinda opened the door for this Chinese guy and did the hand thingy to ask him to go in first then he hesitated for a moment with a confused look on his face and entered and turned back and laughed then he walked abit, turned and laughed again. So yeah it was funny at that time I started laughing too I guess some people are just not used to my awesome service yeah. Haha. If you don't get it, the guy thinks he should be the one opening the door cos he's a guy, but I think since I work there I think it's fine to open the door for anybody, really.

And a lesson learnt: Never accept any kind of food from any old man.
They are just being nice of course, but oh gosh. First I got a cake that tasted weird I stuffed it inside my cup noodles when it was done so the uncle didn't know I don't like it. Then this customer took out this asam and after my mom got the cap off,he offered some to me, and I put it in my mouth and "OMG what the hell am I eating?!" Ginger. No kidding. When he left I spit it out. Then this afternoon a nice pakcik bought be a packet of food after I told him I'm gonna eat cup noodles for lunch. Yea I was happy until I opened the packet. Steamed fish and veggie and white rice omg I am such an ungrateful little brat I'm SORRY but that was a horrible meal. I threw half of it away and covered it with Ben&Jerry packaging.

Anyway this is a frigging long post I better go to sleep now. Mae&YJ&Atika coming over to cook pasta tomorrow, for us and for my whole family cos nobody is cooking! Speaking of which, I miss my Dad's ketchup rice with scrambled egg. Sounds boring but its awesome when mixed together real well. Gonna ask him to cook some before the new maid comes. Haha. And my mom cooks real well too, except she don't cook often. And me too, I make the best cereal ever! I can tell you exactly when to eat such that it is not to crispy, but not too soggy either. I'm awesome!

Gonna go have some sleep byeeeeeeeee!

Dina's got her head back

Yeah I got my head back. After finding out that my all time fav band Boys Like Girls <3 is coming to town, and planning my means of getting the ticket, I finally got it all figured out. My birthday is on February so I'm getting my Dad to pay for my Boys Like Girls tickets, and my Mom to sponsor my Paramore tickets on March as my birthday gift! How about thatttt! The BLG tickets is confirmed, the Paramore not so but I'm pretty psyched. I always somehow find ways to get enough money for stuff, but I so need company. Syikin, you gottagotta go for Paramore, man! And Atika's gonna speak to her dad bout going for the BLG concert, so yeah I hope that works out because I don't think I have any other friends who are like into those two bands, or even my kind of music for that matters. I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have much friends anyway. Haha.

Anyway, I'm now a trainee at SPC the Petrol Kiosk. So far so good, though the first day was really confusing, with swiping cards and keying in numbers into the many-many mini machines. I haven't even had a chance to have a real interview with the boss of that place, but I guess I will pretty soon. I really hope I can like be a real staff there, not just a trainee, and it would so suck if I get kicked off after the interview, considering that I already got the uniform and all. But on a brighter note, I don't think that will happen because my mom (who also works there) is good friends with the boss, which is how I got pulled into the job, plus they are very short of staff.

I'v been working at nights (11pm-7am) which is great. Been talking to loads of taxi drivers, some of them who even made the place their second home at night, reading newspapers there and drinking coffee. And I've been hearing my mom bitch about my maid to her sister for two whole nights, that's a feat!

Oh yeah, my maid got sent home while I was asleep. Didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. And now the house is going to be a disaster. My household cannot function without a maid. But a new one called Rina is coming on Wednesday, can't wait for that. Rhymes with Dina.

So apart from working all night and sleeping all day, I tried to make time to still have a life. Yesterday I went out with Atika, Mae and Aishah to Dhoby Ghaut. We went to National Museum but didn't really go to the museum, and we went to Fort Canning but didn't really go into Fort Canning. So I didn't really know what we did, but I had fun at least for a few hours till my 5 hours of sleep and 8 hours of work took its toll on me and I was too exhausted to talk nonsense.

Anyway I'm going to work again soon. Gotta get dressed. Bye bye!

Oh no my mom just told me I'm going to work tomorrow instead at 10am-6pm instead of tonight, first time working with like other people besides my mother. Oh no there's going to be like real people, people I don't know. Oh my god have i ever told anyone I don't like making friends? Yes, I don't like making friends. Oh my god tomorrow's gonna be a big day. And OMG the boss already took me in, no need interview. YES! hello everybody, Dina is currently EMPLOYED and can afford her own Paramore tickets, if its not sold out in one month! Who wants me to treat you to another ticket? HEHE. I'm just so happy, I'm referring myself like a third person, but its okay. And I'm going to be with this girl May tomorrow. I already have a friend Mae, I just hope May looks different from Mae. Hmm. Mae bought me a shrilling horny mini lady for Christmas, thanks alot, now all my siblings are horny pressing her boobs and hearing her shrill. And my hamster is scared of the Horny Lady.

I just realised that I'm a very lucky person. Twice I got employed without an interview. And OMG do you know I greeted a customer yesterday "Hi, welcome to Pizza Hut" accidentally?! I almost died. Just acted sotong after that and hoped he didn't hear or something.

Oh no what if there's a long queue tomorrow and I'm slow, or what if I pressed wrong stuff and got the amounts wrong, what if what if what if. Damn it tomorrow is Sunday, there could be extra many people. ARGH whatever I'll do my best! I'm sure I'll be a pro in no time.

Gonna go do some household chores. Thank god this is temporary :)

2.30am

Oh dear, i can't sleep. It's just the holidays makes me used to sleeping real late and waking up like in the afternoon.. So its hard when i got to sleep early to wake up in the morning the next day. So i just spent one whole hour just playing around with the guitar, playing runaway train by soul asylum (which is a really easy song to play) or my own stripped to easy peasy version of when it rains by paramore.

I've been pretty much hanging out my myself this past few days, occasionally joining my parents to whereever (Johor/J8) when i feel like it. I've watched and re-watched almost every episode of criminal minds, my all-time favourite show. I'm up to Season 3 of the big bang theory, and all this means one thing - i gotta find a job - soon.

I feel like going back to being a waitress once more because i loved being a waitress and being nice to everyone, but the pay is crappy in pizza hut. I'm going to look for a job tomorrow and a few days following that but i hate job interviews. I'm sure i'm not the only one. Then i wanted to apply for maybe.. A chambermaid at some hotel :) my dad said sure but he obviously wants me to give tuition which is definitely NOT going to happen, rather then, as he puts it 'get bossed around my some ah soh who grabs all the tips before i get to them, pick up condoms in the bedroom, clean the toilets and sprain my back again pushing up the matress.' He knows how? My dad's first few part time job was as a chambermaid. Hard to get that off my head.

Promoting things is definitely not on my list of things to do (ever again) because i had my share of promoting stuffs and it SUCKED. Really sucked. I felt like crap everyday coming home from work. those were the days. :p

Anyhow, i can write alot more but i should go to sleep. Chances are, i might just lose this post before i publish it cos blogging through my phone is pretty risky. The draft is almost always not saved.

So goodnight, see ya when i see ya! (thats my line, syikin!)

Heart Heart Heartbreak


Crappy things are finally over, and gone were the days when all I do is study or think about study-related issues. It feels great to finally rid of those bad, bad memories, and I summed it up in a picture above. Me studying alone, studying at school, studying at home, studying with Atika etcetera.

Straight after, I went to town, I watched the Big Bang Theory (which is a current FAV TV show, so freaking hilarious!), went to Bras Basah and got ripped off, went to town again and such awesome cycles! I also went for Chalet at Costa Sands with my classmates, but Day 1 (Saturday) was horrible! They spent like 5 hours in Kbox in E!Hub singing Chinese songs and I could hardly enjoy it and mostly slept my way through or wander off around the place. So I decided I had enough fun for one day and got my Dad to fetch me at like 1am even though I packed stuff to overnight there.

Then on Monday went off to Johor! Actually wanted to do some crazy shopping there but as it turns out my parents prefer Angsana over City Square, so me and my siblings (for the first time) and my Dad went bowling twice, while my mum and my aunt shopped for their makcik stuffs. It was awesome after I started getting better (meaning started hitting those pins!). Everytime my brother wanted to roll the ball all of us would shout "LONGKANG!" so yeah that was pretty funny. We actually planned to spend the night in some budget hotel but we couldn't find parking lots for the car, so we went to Puteri Pacific Hotel, which is hardly a budget hotel but hey, I'm not complaining. I love bathtubs and looooong hot shower in the bathtub. A summary of our short 'holiday' is Angsana, City Square, Hotel, Angsana, City Square, Home! Oh and there was this really cute salesguy at the Silver Planet store who laughs alot and got nice eyes, HARDLY a Mat Msia, and I likee but I should forget it because I'll probably never see him again. Bummer.
Then I got back rested for abit and worked on this potential money-generating project of mine and not long after I met up with Yue Jiao and Mae and set off to Somerset! Actually wanted to get Uniqlo jeans cos they were on crazy sale but as it turns out the good ones were gone. I'll probably get Levi's Strauss Jeans instead since I saw they cost $39.90 (min 2 pieces) but that'll be another day when my Dad is ready to loosen up his wallet again. Been asking from him alot of money lately, and they just disappear real quick! Oh and I bought a cardigan from Mango and I'm in love with it!

On top is me and Yue Jiao at the rooftop garden at Orchard Central and the place is amazing! Especially the way up the rooftop garden cos the escalator is a long one, and the lifts have see-through glass and it was awesome especially since Mae is scared of heights!
At about 6pm we were wondering about Plaza Singapura, and I was already broke which sucks and by 7pm I was already half-dead because I usually go home at about 6pm regardless where I go, not because of any curfew or what, but it's just usual so I was pretty dead when I reached home at like 10pm. But I had a great day!

Anyway the picture below is for you, Mae, just for you because I know you think you look retarded in the picture (and I agree, totally thanks to me!) and you won't put it up on Facebook so I got it from your phone into mine and into my blog. No need to thank me! And to any readers, if you exist, you can so totally click the picture to get it super-sized. Just for you, Mae. Please don't body slam me next time we meet..


Gonna go work on my project once more, that's what I call it right now. Tell ya about it when I feel everything is more solid. :)

& HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY JESLIN WONG!

My New Blush

Omgomgomgomgomogmogmg i love my new blush from ELF studio line. I'm not gonna wash my face anytime soon even though I'm at home. Haha. Its georrrgeousss. And its amazingly affordable I got one for Syikin as a surprise too. Haha. Talking bout makeup, my elder sister is crazy. Went home to find my stuff in her room EVERYWHERE. And her room is like my hamster's cage, all over the place! I gotta go treaure hunting to find my stuff to put it back into my cute little drawers. Gosh. I'm still missing my jane blush and some other stuff. I won't sleep well tonight unless I find THAT blush cos its my favourite. Haha. Kidding I'm fine without it.



AND I can't find the stupid guitar at home and I was looking forward to playing it after my Econs paper since I woke up today with 20% hand and mouth coordination, which is a miracle! I can strum and sing a different tune, which is amaaazing. Syikin knows. Still looked like she wanted to run out of my room this morning screaming, but less so. I was quite afraid i might affect her performance for Econs paper 1.. but wth Syikin I know you can take it. You're strong! Pfft. This is why I need my own guitar you know. And I'm serious about learning, its wayyy more fun that whatever shit I've been learning at school. I don't think anyone took it out, so where can a big black guitar be hiding?


6:12 PM


Been playing to much guitar

Now that's an apt lyrics (nevershoutnever song called trouble) to describe my situation right now. Though i just studied econs for the past few hours :) So i started my beginner lessons online, heehee, and im at lesson 2 out of eleven. I learnt 6 chords in total, and i can play brown eyed girl (love the random busted version, not the original oldie) though not really well, but hey i can make a tune, finally! My only exasperation is that i have zero hand and mouth coordination. Trust me, syikin knows. She had that look on her face, while i was playing brown eyed girl, like she was about to run out of my room screaming hysterically. Haha. Kidding, i wasn't looking at your face but alternating between my fingers and the lyrics that just flewww out of my head. But if i did look,im sure you'd have looked pretty constipated.

I told my dad my plans to learn to play the guitar this holidays, and like an awesome and supportive dad, he let out a malay idiom in response. 'Hangat hangat tahi ayam' which if translated directly means 'hot hot chicken shit' (you never did try to translate before huh). I wonder who's the wise man who stepped on chicken shit and instead of thinking 'Holy shit, i gotta wash my rubber slippers!' instead thought 'Chicken shit is pretty damn hot, but it cools down to room temperature in a minute or two, just like people's enthusiasm when they started something new that fades away after some time..' so yes, my dad's 'awesomeness' does not mean he can escape buying an acoustic reddish brown guitar for me.. Gonna ask him soon. Haha.

Oh,and i forgot to mention, the day with the drama at the block in front of mine, there was some softcore porn+another drama at night across the block directly in the 11th storey window. It started with a crazy women screaming to a guy in the room which lasted some time, and the guy blocking her everytime she wanted to leave the room, but somewhere in between all that they started making out, and the girl pushed him away, but they would still end up kissing after a while. I swear to god, my sister said he even tried to rip her shirt off but unfortunately she resisted. And sometime after they disappeared from sight, before we realise that we could see her head, meaning she was on the floor DOING WHAT with the guy. Serious shitzz. Right in front of the open window,honey. The window was fully open like mine, including the grille (because of the great cool wind that night). And i was TRYING to focus on my transition elements notes, but it was difficult, considering how much i respect people's privacy. 'Quick, switch off the floor lamp so they cannot see us gawking!'

haha. Thats it then. It didn't escalate into real life porno like you are wishing but it was interesting. It lasted for ONE FRIGGING HOUR lemme tell ya, from 12am till 1am while waiting for my dad to come bring supper home. Haha.

Okays i gotta go sleep. Maybe practise some more browneyedgirl tomorrow. Im sure my hamster in the room don't mind. It really likes it when i sing, especially when i change the lyrics to 'brownhams-ter' it gets hyped up and starts running at the wheel and biting the metal bars. Haha. Im kidding to. Fatty hamham only SLEEPS all the time. Worse than a snail (that can sleep for three years at one go). And whyyyy do i know such random stuffs.

Gotta sleep. Im a sleepyhead.bye!
