2-0, 2-0

I had a hectic day on Monday. I felt so "popular" when I logged onto my office email, had tons of "fan mail" from my "ardent expats".... SiGh!!! That's what happens when you are so "popular".


Was concentrating hard on some of the emails.... of late I realised that I have a lot of "high maintenance" expats.. who ask for the world.. when their company pays (I cannot say peanuts already thanks to TT Durai) .. okie lemme rephrase.. when their company is a scrooge.
Half way thru my work.. had to leave my desk for the upcoming D&D rehearsal. Yes... I am in it. Not telling you what role I play!!!

Anyway ... lemme fast forward to what's 2-0, 2-0.
This day is going to go down in my history. I am so gonna boast to my grandkids next time.. "hey your grandma, whipped some guy's ass in a pool competition!" haha.. but of cos.. seriously .. it was cos the Lord is with me. Went to the pool competition held at Marina Square Super Bowl. This is an annual CPA competition amongst the big 4 and other financial institutions and its my FIRST time playing in a serious competition, representing my firm!


We were practicing halfway when a group of men representing ?PMG (Need to protect name.. hahah) came and saw us gals playing. I was with Liz and Angie. And they just played amongst themselves and they were real GOOD. Soon, the representatives from the rest of the big 4 firms came.


Compeition started. There was 5 sets in 1 match. 1 match will have 5 different players. And each player is supposed to play 3 rounds and the winner would be the best of 2 rounds of cos!! Duh!! Hehe. Alex was representing my group first. I just got to know Alex from GFS .. nice chap.. cool guy. I didn't wanna watch the match at all as it made me even more nervous.. so I continued practicing with Liz and Angie. Angie was number 2 player and I was number 3. Liz was representing us but another team. When it was the girls turn to play, we found out that the nerdy yet SNOBBISH men from ?PMG REFUSES TO PLAY WITH US GIRLS!!! Oh those MCPS!! *grumbles* Why? Cos we are GIRLS!! The nerve of those snobs!! U pay me to play with them I would sooO think twice!! Reputation at stake!!


So anyway, we ended playing with the other 2 more gentlemanly firms *Applause goes to such gentlemanly local guys who are like a rare sight these days!!* and it turn out nice. When it was my turn, I was almost peeing in my pants (well actually I was wearing a skirt.. cos I didn't know it was the actual day of the competition) and butterflies in my stomach. Played with this guy called Adrian. I was thinking on my toes all the time. Snook him, how to play from here? What should I play? How should my facing be? But I decided to forget about all those and said "Lord, I dedicate this game to You".


Every time I played, I asked the Lord: "You with me? You with me?" I heard a firm "Yes, right beside you" in my heart and with each shot, I putted a ball. Though there were times I didn't pocketed a ball, the poor bloke, Adrian was errr.. nervous? I dun know.. cos I saw his fingers shaking.. Poor thing! I don't bite!! Hehe.. Anyway, the 1st round, we ended up fighting for black and he pocketed the black......... in the wrong pocket, so I won. Praise God! 2nd round, I kindof thrash him and I pocketed the black ball with a double shot. I saw the guys around me drop jaws.. I heard *gasps* I felt good.. and I told the Lord: "Yes!! Thank Youuuuuuuuu" So it was my first 2-0.


The next round, strangely... we had to play against my own company but another team..and I played with a very petite girl who was cute and steady. first round was a bit long for me.. cos she took some time to decide what she wanna play. But that's ok.. it gave me time to look around to see the rest of the people who were competing nearby. Anyway, I won Mohan (? think thats her name..) in the first round and in the second round.. I was consistent and pocketed 5 balls in a single shot (What did I tell ya about having the Lord with you? ;> ) and won 2-0. I won't come back for the 2nd round of pool.. cos I have got DnD rehearsals.. but it felt really good.. to play in competitve mode.. and a bunch of strangers.. oh yah and not forgetting a handful of snobs.

StUPiD OR WhAT?!

StUPiD OR WhAT?!

Was talking to Lien and HB today in the office.. well.. we needed a break..Mind you!


And somehow the conversation led to about this guy who replied in the newspaper (Don't ask me what newspaper and which article.. go find it yourself) about some article commenting on how vulnerable marriages are thesedays.


His reply was since marriages are so vulnerable these days.. and that women kindof always gain from the divorce (e.g. Divorce alimony for the wife, or in this case.. ex-wife) and he went on to comment without using much of his brains to say that:


"There should be some clauses in the marriage certificate or regulations to allow men to satisfy their sexual desires and urge.." (It gets better from here..) "And I know that by saying this, I MAY raise controversy".


When I heard that comment I was like O.O?!?! "Say what?!" I mean that's
unbelievable! Is he stupid or what?!?!!


Not that I am a feminist or anti-men or I like slamming such men down. (Note: I said SUCH men.. if you leave me comments in my blog later saying NOT ALL MEN ARE LIKE THAT!!! I will ask you to refer to the title of this blog entry - STUPID OR WHAT?!)


I mean c'mon, that fella sure wasn't thinking or exercising his brains when he said that!! He was probably thinking with his crotch or dick to be more precise, instead of his head! Like hello!! It's a no wonder people come up with terms like 'dickheads!!'


If that dickhead would only pause and think reaaally hard enough with whatever he
had for a brain.. why would he wanna say that? By saying that, he basically:


1. Doesn't understand the true meaning of marriage (Trust & Commitment?)

2. Shows he is a dickhead and is a MCP

3. Doesn't respect women and that includes his mother. If he does respect his mother.. he won't comment or even think of such absurd ideas..cos suppose his own Dad is not committed to his Mum in marriage and contracted some illness and terminal disease and pass it onto his Mum? And both dies and left him alone??? Use your BRAIN can?! Not your dick!

4. Doesn't know the meaning of equality in today's society (Note: DO NOT GET ME WRONG... I do agree to a certain extend that women and men are not equal especially in terms of brute strength.. but doesn't mean he can propose for such clauses.. women can't?) He probably thought with his dick that women these days won't follow what he do? PUHHH-LEEASEEE!!! Wake up to reality!!! Monkey see.. monkey do can!!! And doesn't he know hell have no scorn like a woman's fury? Stupid or What?!!

Dickheads like him should all be banished to a totally desserted Island call Survivor Shallow, where they "Out-ego, Out-stupid, Out-dick" the rest of the contending dickheads and never to set foot again on our shores. The world is small enough and we are already running out of resources and are stress enough with our daily lives.. we don't need stupid dickheads like these to further mess with our next generation!!

I Need An Outlet

It's 1.06am.. I need an outlet.. I need to blog.
Too little time
Too many things.. on my mind..
I need an outlet.. I need to blog!!
School work is killing me
Lecturers looked at our project.. and disagree..
I need an outlet.. I need to blog!!
Alot of school projects are soon to be due
I am researching on articles and infomation.. till I'm turning blue...
I need an outlet.. I need to blog!!
I laugh at anything now simply to destress
It may be silly but that's how I function and progress...
I need an outlet.. I need to blog!!
Somehow the Lord reassured me
That all is in good hands .. I just have to commit everything to thee...
I need an outlet badly.. and my outlet is the Lord!!
AMEN!!!

Things that make me go Uuurrgghh & Tsssk!!!

1. Slapping on moisturisers in the bathroom and finding out I have difficulty opening the bathroom door (UUrrggghhh!!)


2. Typing an intense email to be sent to a complaining client and was about to hit 'Send' when the powers in the office trip (Urrrgggghh!!)


3. Trying on a pair of nice cool sunglasses in the departmental store and there's a huge price tag dangling from the middle of the sunglasses when I checked myself in the mirror. (Tsssssk!!)


4. Being pushed and shovelled at by men and women in nice work attires at the MRT stations and as they push you to get to the other side to change train lines, they turn around and TSSSSK at me though they were the ones pushing me! (Uuurrgghh!)


5. Trying to pluck an annoying 'outstanding' white hair and ended up plucking a black one.. (Tsssssk!!) and the white one still standing there (UUrrgghh!)


6. Spotting a very cute guy on the train with the kindof sharp nose that is 'to-die-for!!' only to see him digging his nose later with his longer-than-mine fingernail of his last finger.. Eeeeyeeeww..(Uurrrggghh.. + puke)


7. Full time students in my lectures that sits in front, behind, to my left, to my right and all around me and my coursemates providing "surround sound" talking about Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Andy Lau, non-stop. (Tsssk!!) AND worst of all, to be called by my lecturer to answer questions when I didn't even talk in class! (Uuurrgggh!)


8. Girls with super duper long hair standing closely in front of you, next second you know, their hair just practically slaps you in the face.. when they sweep it to one side.. (Tssssk!!!)


9. Copycats who copycat me from head to toe. Hello! I don't mind sharing fashion tips and stuff.. but not head to toe can!! I don't need a mini-me and am not prepared for a clone!! (Double uurrrggghh!)


10. Being called by lecturer in class to answer questions.. (I was paying full attention, mind you) and coursemates say lecturer's trend is that he likes to spot people who are brightly dressed and call upon them. Next lecture, I wear GREY & BLACK, again I was called. (Uuurrgghhh!)


11. Guys who filled the MRT cabin with their "Can Kill Girls (and elephants as well) With One Whiff Of This" cologne that smells really bad when mixed with their perspiration. (Sorry.. this is not uurrgghh nor tsssk... it's bleeehhhh...)

12. Guys who alight at their MRT destination but their "Can Kill Girls (again, not forgetting the elephants as well) With One Whiff Of This" cologne lingers on.. (Tsssk!)

13. Male van drivers who when their vans stop at traffic lights, wind down their windows to not only gawk but "Tssk tssking" at you to catch your attention. (UUrrgghh!!)
