X-Men 3 ... & The Art of Appreciation
Caught X-Men 3 last night... it's damn good! The effects are amazing la... it's so worth the money (even though I spent like an extra $20 on 2 extra tickets due to my blunder the night before thought internet booking).
Anyway I'd like to say that I really appreciate the effort Andrew made in accordance to my being angry with him for not spending enough time with me. He made the whole of his yesterday free just so that the entire day can be spent with me. I'm really glad cos it meant that he actually listened, and that my unhappiness really meant something to him, for him to actually try to make things better. People say guys dun listen, girls complain that their bfs do not attempt to change when they find fault with them, many guys just take their gfs' topics of quarrels as mindless ramblings. But I realize how not to let those scenarios happen. It is simply, to always remember to show your partner that you appreciate what he/she has done for you, no matter how small a gesture. It is these acknowledgements that make the sacrifices worthwhile. No one like to be taken for granted, so no matter how much this guy/girl loves you, if you continue to keep being on the receiving end and take it for granted that he/she will forever be the giving party, there will be a day whereby the giver will be tired out and find the r/s a mere obligation he/she cant wait to get out of. This is why I planned to thank him when we reached my place after the movie, for spending the entire day with me and that I really appreciate it. But he beat me to it and thanked me first, for spending the day with him. Haha... I wasn't expecting that from him really...
Sometimes I feel that being so polite with the "thank you"s increases the formality between 2 people. It's something like, you are so close to your own family that all such formalities are lost and if one day your dad does something nice for you like buy you lunch and you thank him, he will most probably think there's something very wrong with you. But just sometimes, thanking your family members will show them that you are not taking them for granted. Same thing goes for a couple... everyone would like their effort to be appreciated, so sometimes, be more generous on the appreciative words... it take so little effort to thank a person, but the amount of satisfaction the person gets for being appreciated, is priceless.
Hey kid... thanks again.

Random Updates
Couldn't resist putting this up... this is my bro's artpiece... oh and for the info of those who are unaware, my bro is taking Art as one of his A Level subjects. The left pic is the one from the book, while the one on the right is the one painted by him. Actually it's not done yet, he's actually filling up the background in black now, but I was took gan cheong and took the photo before he's done with it. Poor kid... has been on this drawing since dinnertime...
Anyway I'm so super pissed with GV online booking of tickets now. I was happily booking the tickets when some problems arose on my last step of the booking, then I had to restart my comp. So naturally I would assume that the initial booking was cancelled cos technically I hadn't completed the whole transaction. And so I went on to book the tickets all over again... and after I'd completed the transaction I went to check my transaction status, I have 4 tickets under my name!!! And I cant cancel it cos I paid using eNets, meaning the money has already been deducted from my bank account! Bloody hell!!! I feel so damn shitty now cos I've 2 extra tickets on hand, which means $20 into the air?? If anyone wants to watch X Men 3 today (26/5) at 7pm, PLS let me know!!! I am SO SO SO damn upset now...

Over The Hedge
Went to catch this yesterday with my siblings... the animation is good la... the characters very cute, but I dun particularly like the plot cos they bring in the human world, with the creatures aiming to get into the house to steal potato chips etc. Dun like leh... prefer animal cartoons to be fully nature based.
My fav characters! The 3 small porcupines... so cute!!!
Anyway apparently because I'd been complaining too much of being too free at home... now I'm anything but free. Initially this job introduced by Rion is supposed to end today, and that's the only consolation I felt when I was dragging myself out of the bed this morning. And now they inform us that they need us to continue work till friday. And then, Yiru msged me this morning to ask me if I wan to take up this data entry job, to work till july. Then I figured that even though I'm complaining of being very tired now, but once I start slacking and having nothing to do again I'll be very irritated after a while... so might as well take it up. Bleah...
Anway thanks for all u my buddies' concern, but I'm fine already la. It's tiring to be angry for too long... and well, I'm glad that I finally could talk it over calmly with him, and not in a fit of anger. Anyway I would like to share this story of one of my fellow part-timer colleague... actually it is cos of this story that made me decided to end the quarrel. (ok but according to Andrew he never quarrelled with me in the first place, I was the only one doing the quarrelling... idiot...)
We were entering data into the nokia handphone chips... then this colleague of mine played this song on her comp, and she told us that this song came out when her boyfriend passed away. She's only a few years older than me. Then suddenly after I heard her say that I'm not angry with him anymore... because sometimes u need to be reminded on how lucky you actually are... at least I have him safe and sound with me. And when you think of it that way, why would you want to take that fact for granted? I believe if she had a choice, she would rather her boyfriend is still around and she'll never ever pick a quarrel with him forever. Although I do admit that sometimes quarrels are necessary in a r/s to let both parties understand each other better, it's also a way for both parties to know how to make the r/s better...
Alamak... start this entry on a happy note, then end with such a sad story... bleah. But to my friends, no need to worry for me la... I believe I'm in very good hands. =)

Me: I guess the only thing I can do now is to get a job...Him: Yes you should..I dunno what's wrong with me but I was still quite calm when I received his call... I was trying to let go of the argument I had with him last night... and again I was agitated, by the exchange above. So now it seems like it's my fault for having too much time on hand to bring up this quarrel with him la? My fault, when he is the one who happily place me on the lowest of his priority list. Maybe this would not be a problem at all if I have many commitments at hand and not so much free time... maybe there would be no quarrel if I din have time to even tink of him... maybe this maybe that. Now it's MY fault apparently.
Patience has a limit. Rion said that I am being a very patient gf when he asked me to sleep cos tmr need to go work but I told him I gotta wait up for his call. He himself said that I've been very patient with his work commitments all these while. So I'm supposed to continue to be this patient girl whom everyone appreciates la? But you know what... patience has a limit... I hate to be pushed towards that limit... and I hope I'll never ever have to reach it.
I know that he is trying his best already (or should I say I HOPE he is trying his best), and I am also trying my best to be tolerant already. I'll be gg to China for holiday on the 7th... which leaves abt 2 more wks here. And guess wad? 2 weeks seem like a long long time, but if I'm even lucky, I would only be able to meet him 2 times more before I fly off. It sux...
I'm going to have another bad night's sleep again tonight...

Random Updates...1. I'd gotten a temp job now... introduced by Rion. And now I roped in Ah-Tan too... haha. We're programming the games software for the nokia handphone chips. Sounds damn cool rite? But it's boring and monotonous... luckily the fellow part-timers and nice... and so we can happily entertain one another!
2. I'd went to catch the midnight slot of Da Vinci Code with Jo, Cryst & Andrew. Bumped into Fang outside the theatre... imagine that, midnight slot at sorta ulu pandan cinema Eng Wah Suntec also can bump into people. Haha... and then after that we went Cryst's place to stayover... had a scary ordeal with her dog, cos it rushed into the room unexpectedly, leaving Jo & I screaming on top of our lungs, waking the house up at almost 3am. Anw that will be the last time we'll be going her house. Sompah.
3. I'm a redhead now... not the super bright red la... dark red. Dee helped Cryst and I make an appointment one wk back... so today we went straight for our hair appt from Cryst's lor. Love my new hair colour... but I'm hoping hard that the colour will not fade till the usual yellowish brown after a while!
4. I think I'm liking Andrew's bro and sis more and more... in fact, even more than my liking for him. Oh dear...
5. Oh... and definitely not forgetting... I miss Man Tou!!! (But his auntie aka PZ is not free until sch reopens... damn... there goes my KTV session and Man Tou visiting session!)

2 Day Old BabyYes... I went to visit my newborn baby cousin, who is juz 2 days old. And I get to carry him!!! I remember when I was younger whenever there were newborn babies we kids dun even get to even touch them... now they would happily pass the baby to me without me asking! My aunt purposely try to give birth to him on Vesak Day, cos he's supposed to be due anytime soon... and she really gave birth to him on Vesak Day itself! I can predict that he'll be a wonderful kid when he grows up... in fact, my mum and aunt cant stop complimenting how obedient he is lor... nv cry, let everyone carry, never anyhow wriggle here and there. And as usual... whenever this topic comes up, the next one they aim will be... ME. They would start bringing up the past, abt how naughty I had been as a baby... how much I cry, how stubborn I was, how difficult I was to handle, how I can cry all through the night etc etc. This conversation NEVER dies... it is always brought at one pt or another... damn...
That's my little darling...
2 days old only ok??
Frowning and frowning at all the faces surrounding him... he must be thinking, "why cant they just let me have a peaceful sleep!?!" Hahaha...
And that's my dad carrying the little one! He's so tiny!!!
Oh and last but not least,
Happy Mother's Day to my mum! See... durian cake as our usualy family tradition... we have this for every one of our birthdays! Yummy!!!
