Annoyed

So annoying. 1 thing I hate abt the Lunar New Year is that my mom becomes a raging nagging monster when it comes to spring cleaning. I've already helped her with what I can, which is cleaning the ovens out, the rice cooker area and then today, I did the fridge.

Do you have any idea how much stuff she has in that fridge of hers? So many such that we have 2 fridges at home. I cleaned out as much as I could, the expired jars of items and rotten food. I even used a cloth to wipe the inside out. The rest of the stuffs which I kept are the dried stuff (chrysanthemum flowers, dried goods like oysters/scallops/vegetable looking stuffs), and the new stuff she bought to be consumed during the new year. Of course the fridge is still so packed. BECAUSE IT'S FULL OF YOUR STUFF~!

Not because I did not clean it out like you asked me to, BUT BECAUSE IT IS ALL YOUR STUFF THAT'S STILL INSIDE THE FRIDGE!

GRRRR! Annoying raging monster on the loose.

Worried.

MilkTea is sick.. She has all these lumps on her body. Sigh.. So worried. I think they hurt, cause when I was checking them out and touching them, she bit me.

Dunno if I should bring her to a vet. Told my bro if he could ask his vet at work what it could be. I hope it's not cancer or tumours or anything serious.

Have been feeling so sad and worried for her. Been super gentle with her this few days. I hope she gets better without seeing a vet. The last time I took my pets to the vet, they all died..

Anyways, hope everyone is well. Have a good weekend!

Feels like insomnia~!

Been having more of those sleepless night recently. No idea why, but insomnia has been occuring for me quite frequently for the past few months..

Maybe it's 1 of the perils of growing up and being an adult? =P

Maybe I just sleep too much during the day?

Maybe it's my body's way of telling me something is broken inside of me?

No idea but all I know is, I wanna fall into bed now and wake up tomorrow..

Anyways, I downloaded Craig David's Greatest hits album the other day, and I remembered why I used to like him so much. His songs are catchy and his lyrics are meaningful. At least to me. Ha~!

Aite, I'm off to lala land soon~!

Have a great week everyone!

FML!

Just my luck. I was so confident doing all my parkings and reversing, and I have to get a stingy tester who says I did not check my mirrors and sides.

Annoying! Now I have to do it all over again!

Seriously,

FML!

Reality Tv

I've recently got a new bundle of channels for my cable TV, and 1 on them shows reality TV and E! News all day long. That's a bad thing because I've realised that they are extremely addictive. Haha.. Been watching and following Keeping up with the Kardashians, Giuliana and Bill and E! News all day long. Also included in the bundle is Food Network Asia and Asian Food Channel.

So many programmes to be watched and not enough Ivys to watch em. Haha.. So it's no wonder I've been spending huge amounts of time vegetating in front of the TV whenever I can. Because Dad uses the TV outside to play his Gran Turismo on PS3, we sorta have a tug of war for the TV in the living room, because whenever he's home, he's on his game. Only time I get to watch it is when no one is around, or when he's off overseas for work.

Other than TV, I've just been playing some games with friends, and watching new American series. Recently downloaded a series titled Preety Little Liars. So far, it's quite alright, but it's kind of like I-know-what-you-did-last-summer mixed in with a little GossipGirl. The girls are all really cute though.

Can't wait for Glee, Bones, CSI, Private Practise, Hellcats and Big Bang Theory to resume.

Been really practising hard for my driving too. Just had my last lesson for today. Test will be on this Friday afternoon, and I've been having butterflies just thinking about the test. I'm such a disaster when I'm under heaps of stress. Sigh. I hope I pass this time round. I'll feel super demoralised if I fail yet again.

Anyways, hope everyone is good and healthy. =) Feels like such a long week already, only half of it is gone. 2 more days to go!

Wish me luck!

My own nest

It's so hard just trying to get into the queue for a new flat. Sigh..

Seeing others who has already established their own nest makes me sooooo envious and jealous..

Sigh... Why oh why is it so hard to get a new one..............

Unlike in the US, where there's more houses than people can afford, the property prices in Sg is shooting up and up and stays up there too.

So annoying and disheartening. Especially when other people just get it on the first try! This coming 1 would be try number 3.

I hope we will get something soon~!

-----

On a brighter note, I'm gonna seriously start on that diet I've been pushing back forever. Low carbs, and lots of veges and fruits for me. At least until the Chinese New Year period. =P

I need to be able to fit into those beautiful dresses I bought. This year is hassle-free shopping because I bought everything online. Haha.. Internet ftw!

I got these pretties:

Super girly for me. Fits alright, but I look kind of fat in it. Esp the arms area..

Super skin-tight. I'd better lose some weight before attempting this dress again, or the CNY gorging will fill this dress to its seam!

This one is my favourite! So demure and chinese.. Haha! Gonna get a flower hair accessory and wear it like the model for that day itself!

This one I really really lust for. But it's all sold out. Saded.. But this dress has many many possibilities, don't you think? Wedding dinner/nice family dinner etc. Makes you stand out. Esp when you accessorize it with a thin black belt at the waist. Super hot~!

Internet shopping makes my world all happy and cheery again. No crowds, no rude people spoiling your day, and best of all, in the comfort of your own house~!

I can't wait till it's CNY! It's my favourite festival of all! You get to play non-stop, no work for 2 days straight, see your extended family and best of all.. THE FOOD! NOMNOMNOM!

All my fave dishes can only be eaten during CNY cos mum only cooks it during the special time. I love her braised vegetables in red-fermented beancurd sauce. YUMS! I can eat that on top on white rice all day long! Just thinking about it makes me drool~!

Haha.. Ok! Diet starts tomorrow! Work towards a greater goal for the CNY!

Sorry for boring you guys, but I'm getting seriously distracted here by the thoughts of the yummy foods!

Nites you all! Have a great week, stay safe and healthy!

Raining raining...

I took the sick day off to rest today, because blocked/runny nose and coughing kept me up all night. The drugs that I've been taking doesn't help me to sleep at all. Grrr...

Resting at home alone is so boring.. No one to talk to, no one to cook for you and take care of you. Totally sucks.. But I did get a much needed rest, and no stress at all today.. Haha..

It's been raining the whole day too. Nice and cold night to fall asleep to. Will take some super drowsy medication soon so I can sleep better tonight.

I dunno if it's just me, but whenever I fall sick, I have this insatiable crave to eat and eat non stop. And it's those foods that I absolutely have to keep away from. Sigh..

Can't wait until I get well, and then it's back to eating my fave foods, and baking up a storm.

4 more weeks until my course starts~! I can't wait!

P.S. Cherry, is it ok for you to gimme the recipe for your pho? =P Thanks heaps!

Under the weather

It's only 1 week into the new year, and already, I'm down with flu.. Grrr... It's so annoying having the flu, because when your nose is not dripping with disgusting mucus, it's blocked.

I hate breathing with my mouth or 1 nostril and it's so hard to sleep at night. The throat is feeling slightly inflamed too.

Must be all the overindulging I did over the Xmas and New Year's period. Sigh..

Trying not to start on any antibiotics, and just pumping myself full of fluids, Vit C and rest.

Anyways, hope you guys have a great weekend~!

I do...

Seems like everyone I know has either gotten married, or is about to get married.

Makes me feel quite sad and left out.

I realised that as time goes by, I actually do still feel lonely despite being attached. At least when I was single, I was still fun. Everyone would at least invite me along when events were planned, whether I attend or not.

Now that I've been attached for almost 1.5 years now, I've become boring and feel just as alone as I was before. You would think that when you get attached, you have someone to do things with together. But as time passes, they either have their own stuffs planned, or it's work that keeps them away. I'm usually alone when my other half goes out to meet his friends, or has to work late. Also, because I'm always turning down invitations to go out, my friends have stopped asking me altogether. Which makes me feel more depressed cause I've been left out of those gatherings when I see pictures on FaceBook.

And it makes me sad and depressed when I think about the future. Is that gonna be how married life is? You become old and boring, and you hang out with old and boring couples?

Or is the problem just me? I do go out sometimes, but I feel I've toned down a lot, and just like to spend time at home (either mine or others). It's more casual and less money is spent this way.

This also brings me to another point. I WANT TO HAVE MY OWN PLACE SO BAD! So I can host a quiet get-together instead of going out and being with crowds.

Sigh.. Blogging an entry when you have a pounding headache and feeling slightly down is so hard... Forming proper sentences, trying to put my thoughts out so that it flows is 10 times harder than usual..

Oh well... I'll end here for now..

Will continue when I feel better and more clear in the head and emotional department.

2011 resolutions?

I've decided not to make any new year resolutions for this year. Mainly because none of them ever get done.

Haha..

However, many exciting things are gonna be happening I hope for 2011.

I'm trying really hard to get my freaking driving license. 2 tests and still no pass, let's hope 3rd time's the charm.

Also, trying to get my own place. Let's hope we'll get lucky soonish.

My class will start officially on Valentine's day this year, which is extremely exciting. I'm going back to school~!

That's about the few things I'm most excited about this year. I foresee myself being very busy for the next 3 years, which is a good thing.

That's about it for now.

Hope you guys had an awesome countdown and may 2011 be full of happiness, love, great opportunities and endless good memories for you all~!

Love and Peace,
Inky~
