Yes people, i know. Havent been blogging for like 4 days and for pple like nic, stop telling pple i dont update my blogger often. and today, i shall do paragraphs.

Am so beat. Since wednesday, ive been pulling myself from bed like at 820 to bring vanessa to Sakamoto ( her tuition centre ). Then hang around the tuition centre for two god damn long hrs to wait for her to finish her lesson. A total of 3 days = 12 hrs of lack of sleep considering on normal days i wake up at around 12 in the noon except on occasions when my dad wakes me up to check the shares for him. Ack. Think i shall go catch up on some sleep later but that will be aft i watched Survivor.

Talking about survivor makes me mad. Johnny Fairplay is a bastard, a down right faggot. He lied to his tribe mates that his gwendma had passed away when actually the gwendma is just sitting at home watching Jerry Springer. And i saw the snippets for today's episode. To know whether the girls had a plan, he was willing to swear over his gwendma that he will not betray them. Bahh! someone like jon can never keep a promise. Jon has already said that promises can be easily broken. What an ass! Die Jon Die!!!

Oh, one more thing. Kel is coming back tonight. She's taking the midnight flight frm Bangkok back to Singapore. Oh my god, i miss her to bits and pieces. How fast time flies! It has been two weeks since kel left for Thailand and now she's coming back! Managed to talk to her twice thru her dad's place in Thailand. Kel said she bought a couple of stuff for us but shes not telling me what she bought... secretive!!

Just remember smth, my mummy's already let me choose what i want for Christmas. Its some offer for the staff of SIA but my mum's friend asked my mum whether she wanna get anything cos her sista's working as an air stewardess. So my mum sent me the catalogue. Lots of exepensive makeup and accessories that can make one go wow! Anyways, got two things for myself - Estee Lauder Spray Favourites & Chanel Aqualumieres Exaltation. Initially wanted Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise but figured that spray favourites will be much more worth it since it has 5 different perfumes only in smaller versions and besides, beyond paradise was 1 of the sprays so yah, got that. As for Chanel Aqualumieres Exaltation, its a all in one thingy. Where u can use it as a blusher or eyeshadow or lipstick. Cool huh! Like totally hahas.

Christmas is approaching in 13 days. Thats fast! Then i can go have a meeting with my mummy's side of the family on that day (family politics) Which reminds me... i have yet to do my christmas shopping and oops, very soon i have to get ready for JI. I most probably shd book my flight to Iraq already. hahas kidding. Oooh shopping! Havent done that like for such a looooong time. Betta get some cash frm my mummay when kel comes back. And..!! Lord of the Rings, The return of the King the movie is opening in theatres 18 dec!! Aroon msged me yest to ask whether we had any plans to watch Lord of the Rings and whether he could join T3 ( em, kel and me ) when we go watch. Told him we wanted to go over to his place to watch the 1st two parts of the trilogy the day b4 we go to the theatres to watch The resturn of the king. Yays! Its the same as the Lord of the rings movie marathon they are having in theatres except its free and theres no extended version of the movie. Well, u pay for what u get. so we just got to make do with it.

And if u guys read em's blog
we went to mr siva's place on mon and i borrowed 4 dvds and 6 vcds of FRIENDS. Watched all six vcds in 2 days - FRIENDS marathon. I love FRIENDS! Their lameness and sarcasm totally cracks me up! Ohs and i watched Birdcage too, mr siva's recommendation. hahas that show is bloody gay and funny! hahas i love Nathan Lane. He is soooo terribly gay in Birdcage. Love the way he acts and how he tried to act like a real man. For all those who have no idea what the birdcage is about, this is what birdcage is all about..

Armand Goldman (Robin Williams) and Albert (Nathan Lane) are two gay parents, with a son Val (Dan Futterman), who is the result of Armand's one and only sexual encounter with the opposite sex. Armand is also the owner of a transgender nightclub (with the same name as the movie) on Miami's South Beach, with Albert starring as Starina, the main attraction. When Albert and Armand are not busy with the nightclub, they are playing the role of mom and dad, respectively.

Val, who is 20, decides to get married to Barbara (Calista Flockhart), who is the daughter of an ultra-conservative Senator, Kevin Keeley (Gene Hackman) and a ditzy political wife (Dianne Weist). Keeley, who is also the co-founder of The Coalition For Moral Order, is thrown into a bit of controversy when the President of the Coalition is found dead in bed with a Black underaged prostitute. Val and Barbara fear (and rightfully so) how their parents will interact when they meet, and thus Val convinces Armand that they should be "normal" for one day when the Keeley's visit for dinner to get away from the media feeding frenzy.

The film plays on stereotypes to entertain, and laughs at those who take the stereotypes too seriously. Williams is decidedly uncomfortable in his role as Armand, but that does translate well for someone who's the owner of a busy nightclub and who manages a tempermental star. There is hardly a time when he gets to steal the spotlight, except for a brief moment when he goes through a sequence of dances which are tiny indications of Williams' comic abilities (which are vastly underutilised in the movie).

Even though the outcome of the dinner is predictable, there is a great deal of suspense maintained throughout, thanks to the spectacular acting of Nathan Lane (who, incidentally, will be starring in the Broadway version of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum) who goes all out for his role as Val's mom, and Hank Azaria playing the role of Agador Spartacus, a Guatemalan housekeeper, who almost steals the show.


Yups. copied it frm some website. If u guys wanna borrow the show, kindly approach

Rmb we went to the clinic and vanessa got some stuff for her skin? Yups. her skin is much better now. Less scaly and dry. More moisture and less itch. That medicine is a toal miracle. Speaking of miracles, my dad seriously needs a miracle to ever make a windfall frm shares considering he doesnt carefully buy his shares and he goes with his gut feelings whenever he buys his shares. I mean what the hell. one cant just depend on luck to make money in shares. u got to keep oberving the market, the economy to know which share is rising or dropping. My dad just made a lost. He bought Chartered at 1.60, 10 000 lots and today's the due date. He has to sell the shares. In the afternoon, Chartered was at 1.60 but hoping for more, dad asked me to hold the shares till about 4 and see whether it rises. Instead, Chartered drop to 1.58 then 1.57 to 1.56 Damn it. I shdnt have hold longer. Was hoping that Chartered would raise frm 1.57 to 1.58 instead, it dipped. so had to sell at 1.56 cos the market was closing soon. so ended up losing 4 cents = losing $400. Thats alot of money i can spend on shopping! How sad! Anyways, smth wierd happened. Aft managing to sell Chartered, went to check the stocks again. People were buying at 1.61 and pple were selling at 1.5. Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. wanted to make some fast cash by faster buying at 1.5 than sellign it at 1.61. But damn! Tried to call my parents but both couldnt be contacted. Damn! Tried to buy by myself but i didnt knwo how to. Had to resort to asking my uncle but it was too late. The shares went back to normal. Pple were buying at 1.56 while pple were selling at 1.57. Perhaps the luck wasnt there..

Yups. Said enough for today. shall blog again when im in the mood. Dont really like typing. I kind of forget my stuff when i start typing. Hope audio blogger starts soon. Then i can just talk! I love talking anyway. Its much easier that way yups got to go play some lame game with vanessa so.. laters goons.
