Conflicted ; 11:33 PM

I'm getting a new phone!

My ex-beloved Sony Ericsson decided to screw me over by first, not sending out my messages and second, the battery decided it wanted to stop its diet and it grew fatter. It bloody inflated like it got a boob job. This is the second battery to do this. So, I've decided to revert to Nokia. At least it SEEMS reliable.

Problem is, it really isn't all that exciting when you have no idea what phone to get! I know, you're probably thinking "OMG, get the COOKIE/IPHONE/(fill-in-the-blanks)" but really? I think I've narrowed it down to 3 phones.

First, 5800, the CWM phone dad has. It seems niceeeeee except it's gonna take a while to get used to. The unlimited song download is such a bonus but I can't transfer the songs to my ipod! Which may be my dear Frostbite may become redundant. God NO.

Second, the E71. It's soooo sleek and executive-ish. And it has a full QWERTY keypad. It's sooo stylish except it seems impractical cuz I won't be emailing people and typing out excel worksheets on my phone. Plus the price. 338 smackaroos. That's more than a third of my pay.

Next is the E63. It looks super similar to the E71 except it has a 2 MP camera. ERM. Why do phone companies still make phones with such lousy MP? WHY? And it's only 3G whereas the previous 2 were 3.5G. But again, not necessary.

SO HOW? Goodness. And I have to get my phone by tomorrow cause I don't think I can survive on my old Samsung for long. The darn space button is spoilt so unless you don't mind receiving messages from me with allthewordsstucktogether, I should get a new phone tomorrow.

Sigh, tomorrow is Sunday. Which means Monday is looming near. Those working will understand my despair. How I wish I could just stay at home all day and marathon Supernatural/90210/GG/whatever movies that seem nice. As well as go out shopping and meeting with my dear jobless friends for meals on weekdays. Shopping malls are SO MUCH better on weekdays. And I wish I could just buy all the nail polish in the world and buy nicer fingers, toes and nails to paint.

Damn. They should make real MONEY TREES.

GOLLY GOSH, I better go sleep soon. Gotta wake up at 5plus tomorrow morning to send JY and Brandon to the airport. If only my passport didn't expire, I would be joining them in PHUKET. Oh wells, Dad's talking about Australia! Hopefully we'll go! (:

One last thing, WHY IS EVERYONE USING LIFE IN TECHNICOLOUR II'S LYRICS AS THEY'RE DISPLAY NICK?! That was so one-month-ago you laggy fools! KEEP UP WILL YOU? (:

BLEAH ; 9:38 PM

I FOR SOME WEIRD REASON, HAVE TO DO E-FILING.
IT'S SOMETHING ONLY OLD PEOPLE DO.
WAIT, LET ME REPHRASE THAT.
IT'S SOMETHING ONLY RICH PEOPLE DO

YES, THAT'S SOUNDS MUCH BETTER. (:


I DON'T WANNA GO TO WORK TOMORROW.
I HAVE TO DIG THE ENTIRE CUPBOARD FOR ONE SILLY CASE THAT DECIDED TO GO MISSING.
VANESSA AND I STAYED BACK LATE TODAY TO FIND THAT DARN THING AND WE STILL COULDN'T FIND IT.
AND WE STILL HAVE TO FIND IT TOMORROW.
HOW CAN A STACK OF STAPLED PAPER GO MISSING.
AND WHY DOES THAT MEAN THAT I HAVE TO BE THE ONE LOOKING FOR IT?!
BLEAHHHHH




SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY, I CAN'T WAIT! (:

pushing it ; 10:46 PM

My dad is seriously very fascinated by the Nokia music store and he was on it the entire afternoon on a downloading frenzy.

DAD: Eh, Minutes to midnight, LINKIN PARK
ME: I had that yonks ago.
DAD: VIVA LA VIDA. COLDPLAY.
ME: I have that cd already.
DAD: Which cd is nice to download?
ME: GAVIN DEGRAW. I wanted to buy it the other time but I was too broke.
DAD: TOO BROKE? Since when has THAT happened? The day you're too broke to buy a cd, the sky will turn RED.
ME: EH, I only bought ONE cd this year okay. OOOONNNNEEEEE.

I guess my parents know about my whole cd affair thing. I guess it's hard to hide it from them when I bought my cd shelves with them. They didn't allow me to get 6 racks so I got 4 instead. But I went back to get another 2 a week later. With them in tow!


Just told my parents about the broken guitar. My mum said it was well time, afterall, it was a good 32 years old. But I can't bare to throw it away. My dad said it didn't matter cause I don't really play it anyways. He said I'm not even learning.

And I retaliated by saying: Now I can't learn cause it's broken. You wanna buy me a new one? GIBSON? :DDDD

I'm just pushing my luck


I can't play on a broken guitar. ; 9:29 PM

You know, I was really getting into the mood, one hour hour of acoustic jam, the whole week listening to one great song and I was feeling it. So I took my essentials, book, pen, guitar, ipod in hand and went up to the study to get some seclusion from the rest of the world. I was planning on spamming some chords until the perfect one struck and goodness. I open open my casing and found that the guitar neck had snapped. Now it's broken and the feeling's gone.

When I Look To The Sky ; 10:28 PM

Goodness, the laptop is really screwing round with me. First Yahoo won't load, YES, I USE YAHOO, I DONT LIKE GOOGLE, then the internet hangs, and itunes simply doesn't agree with my hard disc so I can't play my songs now.

The only thing that cheered me up today was music. Lots and lots of it. I had a good moment with Rob Thomas and Streetcorner Symphony this morning on the train, speaking of which, the band, Train, gave me good songs on the way back. They managed to make me smile then make me almost tear. I think Pat Monohan must have lost someone very dear to him because the lyrics of When I Look to the Sky and Always Remember are so heart-wrenching. The best part, I walked into Pasta Mania for lunch today, and guess who was playing? JEFF BUCKLEY. Hallelujah.

Anyways, I was pretty much in the mood for a good walk by the end of work so I walked home from the MRT station as per usual. It's practically my only form of exercise, besides the walk to and from Tanjong Pajar and the office. And Train was on and I was like whoa and I swinged my arms a bit too much and I scratched the Cactus that belonged to the nursery. It wasn't that painful but what really hurt was that it scratched my bag. I was like WTH! MY BAGGGGGGG really loudly. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS AROUND ME. (Maybe that means I can get a new bag!) Can't say the same about work today though. I bent down to pick up the damn liquid paper cover which rolled on the floor and when I came back up, I hit my head against the edge of the table. I cussed, LOL, and I think my boss and some collegues heard me. I think they think I'm quite a goody goody person so they were kinda stunned. Like really? Do I give of a goody-goody vibe? SERIOUSLY. And I'm still having a headache from it, almost 6 hours later. Pathetic huh?



When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here


Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
To see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by

And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
There you are to show me

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

<3

inspired ; 9:43 PM

1) I didn't think Matt sucked THAT badly on American Idol tonight. He wasn't FANTABULOUS but he didn't suck. I was humming You Found Me the whole of today (especially when I was in the lift alone, on my way to and fro from the Finance Dept on the 26th floor) so when Matt sung it, I was stoked! Anyway, I would buy his album whether he wins AI or not. His voice is AMAZING.

2) I was waiting and hoping desperately for someone to do Jeff Buckley! Hallelujah. I was really hoping. I cannot get it out of my head. No matter how much I try to put another song in my head, Hallelujah is always there, first song and last song I think of everyday.

3) Chris rocked it tonight. My first reaction was: DAVID COOK. The way he changed things up, changed the arrangements and all, he made it his own. Very reminiscent of Cook. Great job!

4) I seriously feel so inspired now. The music was spectacular and there's this amazing energy rushing through my veins. I'm in love with music right now. (:
