EQII is going to be down for 2 hours. I'm so sad, not because I rushed home just to play but because I just realized that besides my game, I have nothing else to do.
I actually have to think of something to do.
And unfortunately for me, my brain decides to go on vacation today.

As usual, I posted the 5 weird things about myself and totally expected none to come from my friends.
Haha, they really can veer away from the original topic. I really miss you guys! It's weird when we used to go out almost every week and suddenly all the outings just stopped. =(

I've been having imsomnia lately. I don't think I want to sleep much anyway. I had a dream about a few kids jumping from a coloured tile to the other and make a ton lot of noise.
I'm serious.
It's stupid what type of dreams I classify under 'nightmares' now.

The whole world is treating me like a small kid, and I kind of hate it.

I just had a tiff with andre a little while back. I was commenting on how depressed he was making me.
I mean. If someone talks to you like that: "... Haiz....... Haiz...... Haiz...." Wouldnt you be depressed too?
And he tells me that he's worried about me getting taken advantage of. And I told him,
My gaming friends are GOOD. They are ADULTS. Going drinking with them is like bringing my NANNIES along. They take care of me like no tomorrow.
I dunno. To him, gaming friends = bad friends. No matter how many times I reassure him, he doesn't get reassured.
So I said, fine, suits you if you wanna worry for nothing.
I've known him for like, what, 5 years? And he's still the same. No change. I really hate it when I have to repeat certain things to him more than once and he still wouldn't understand because he doesnt want to.
Maybe that's why during this 5 years I didn't once have any romantic feelings for him although he's made known to me that he's been after me and will be after me.

I feel like just Linda, in a way.
Speaking of Linda.
I met js for dinner today. One very good way to get him to treat you to dinner...
Is to talk with him about linda! Haha.
Okay 50% of our conversation was about her. Anyway, I managed to convince him to open his eyes and keep a lookout for other girls.
I've never seen any guy be so willing to be thrown about by a girl, but oh well, that's him.

Oh.
If I see another kid hopping from tile to tile in front of me, I swear I will..
Tie him up by his legs and hang him on the Exit sign. ARGH.
I'm totally losing it at work.

Yeah man, I just read pei pei's post on wearing school uniform and go back to school to create havoc.
Woohoo! That sounds like a ton of fun.

What time are u guys free? Has school even started?
Oh right, it has.
Please post ur free days I'll take off and go back to turn the stupid school upside down.
Yea Mr. T**G u can stop complaining that I didn't buy my school badge during the 2 years i was in school and that my skirt is too short because it isnt okay, I got it from the bookshop like that.

This is sickening. I kinda miss school.


Cant find me wearing dunman uniform so this will do. First three months.


Gasp. I can't find a picture of me wearing TJ uniform.
Was I that detached from school????

I've been tagged!

Please post an entry on 5 weird/strange/random things about you. And then tag 5 other people to do the same.

1. I am an extremely absent minded person. I can forget just about anything, from dates/days of outings (friends can vouch for that) to where I left my IC. Mom has been getting increasingly worried about this quirk bout me, so much so she actually calls some of my friends to act as reminders for me.

2. I have hidden eyelids. No, I do NOT have single eyelids. Please look closely! I actually have double, but they just end up getting hidden. They come out when I don't sleep enough.

3. I am not afraid of cockroaches and lizards like most girls are. I find it amusing that a human being is 10000 times bigger than the silly bug but people jump onto tables screaming to avoid it. I actually would dare to hold a cockroach by its feelers just to scare everyone, but I rather not. I don't wanna see my female classmates sitting onto of the fan.

4. I dont care if I mismatch my socks. I don't even understand why socks need to be matched. You wear socks so you can protect your shoes from stinky feet germs. Yeah, I'm one of those idiots who wear orange and blue socks to school because I can't find the matching other.

5. I used to have 10 pet chickens. I'm serious. One day my dad's friend got him one kampong chicken. We have an open grassland outside the flat so the chicken runs around there. She even had her own nest and tree. And she could FLY. My dad got so obsessed with them he added to the collection slowly and boom, suddenly we had 10 chickens.
I think they lasted for about one week until someone complained and the authorities came down to ask us to remove all. Haha.

Okay. I tag.. the whole of studygroup.
I'll post this up so u guys can do yours ^.^

I used to believe that people don't change.
I thought that everyone has their own base character, and whatever that they're acting now that deviates from their original habits are just influenced by something, and are all just a passing phase.

But after two people who were closest to me underwent total metamorphosis, I think it's time for me to change what I think.

3 years ago when my sister was rushed to the hospital because she popped 24 pills because of a guy, my parents placed all the blame on me.
Just because they said I didn't take care of her and I wasn't a good sister, and I should have let them in on what was happening.
I was extremely hurt because I too, had no idea what was going on in her little brain.
Anyway, after that incident, one day I sat her down in my room and talked to her. I said I'll always be there for her and if she has anything she can always talk to me and I'd try to help.
She started crying and we got kind of close, for a while.

Then suddenly, she just ... changed overnight. All she cares now are money, make up, clothes... basically, looking good and being rich. I hate to see her become someone so superficial, and that landed me in alot of quarrels with her. She's become someone so selfish and money minded I can't stand it.
Yesterday when I came home from work, I saw her in front of my computer and this is how our conversation went.
"Hey, I need to use the computer. Can you hurry finish up and let me use it?"
"No, I'm doing my stuff."
"But I need to use."
I glanced and saw that her "stuff" meant putting music on frienster.
"It's not even your computer lor."
I got a bit pissed. "Ha, everything in this computer I paid for myself. You give me one thousand dollars, I let you use."
"Who ask you want to pay, it's your own problem. Computer is shared property."
Fuck! My mom has to ask ME before she needs to send out email because she knows I financed it all by myself (just to play EQII)
I didn't know what to say to her.
"Fine. I'll be outside, out of my room, and not using my computer. You tell me when you finish using."

I can't believe I gave in to her yesterday.
Sisters are weird animals.

Servers are down. So here am I, reluctantly signed onto blogger.

Kids are weird.
They are fascinated at the simplest things, and can stay fascinated for a long time. Today while closing shop I was watching (in amusement) a pair of siblings jumping about on the coloured tiles on the floor. One would shout a colour and the other would jump to the respective tile. They did it for 30 minutes. -_-
Whoever said kids have short attention spans? Echoes of "red!", "blue!", "green!" kept ringing in my ears after I left.

Which makes me reminisce about my childhood days. Not that there is anything interesting about me when I was a kid.
Okay, fine, I was guilty of placing my feet within the area of tiles on the ground too. Haha.
But basically, I was a boring kid. I mixed well with the boys because I loved to play eraser games (you know, those little erasers with different flags on them and you go around flipping your erasers over others to confiscate theirs), I had practically most of the latest console games over at my place.. and I loved to play Lego.
Ooh. Console games.. Sega. Brings back fond memories.. I remember I was hopelessly hooked on Sonic the Hedgehog. Haha.


It has been a bizarre week. Also a sleepless one. And also a penniless one.
Today I was trying to catch up on sleep. Mom was very encouraging ("Yes yes, don't play game anymore, go and sleep!") but it didn't last long.
A few minutes into my nap, she came and asked me what stock I was lacking. "Argh, Mom, im sleeping!" I complained.
She ignored me and continued asking, until I got irritated, because I really needed that hour of sleep.
So I snapped at her.
"What.. ask you a few questions only, you angry! Then you can play game whole night without sleeping lah... Play, play, play......." One thing I hate about my mom is that she can veer ANYTHING to the topic of my gaming.
After she left me alone, my sister came in to disturb me. ARGH. I was super irritated, and in the end I left for work, tired and irritated.
And so I bought my like, 100th cup of coffee for the week.

I spent close to $300 this 2 weeks. I dunno how. Thank goodness I'm working my ass off, or else I wouldn't be able to afford anything else this month.
Cheryl's phone recently went for a swim in the basin and has drowned. Everyone please pay your respects to it when you are free, haha. So I presume she will be spending her pay on her new phone.
Me?
I'll be saving up for a new graphics card and of course, the sickening expansion that is coming up.

I am such a hopeless geek.

What do you mean, "Can't find server Blackburrow" ?????

Screw you, SOE.

things picked up a little by the start of this week.

I guess I'm a happier person.

Work has been giving me diminishing returns. I like interesting jobs, so, sad to say, I think I've reached the end of the learning curve for my current job. It's no surprise that my interest is waning.
I'd like to say, sorry mom, time for a new job. But unfortunately for me and fortunately for my mom, I'm unlike my sister.
It just helps so much that I'm a responsible person and will carry my promise through.
Yeah, right.

Today, however, I met some interesting customers. Japanese! My favourite people now, thanks to Jalid.
The japanese lady thought for about one minute before asking me haltingly in english, "How much?" And after I figured out her nationality, I was able to tell her the prices in Japanese (thank god I quit Japanese classes after they taught numbers, haha).
I think she was quite impressed because she started rattling away in Japanese. I couldn't quite comprehend but there were some phrases I could catch, like, "Koleiwa... Ni??" So I replied, "yes 2 dollars!" I was extremely impressed with myself okay.
So in the end she brought her own family over and they ALL started rattling Japanese to me. I forgot the phrase Jalid taught me. But now I remember -- "Watashiwa sukoshi daka japanese hanasemasu." It's supposed to mean, "I only can speak a little Japanese."
Anyway, they bought quite a few things before leaving and saying, "Arigato!" very loudly. I just waved, because I forgot how to say "you're welcome." (Sorry Jalid)

I struck a deal with Cheryl. I let her go home early today in exchange for coming later in the day, so I can finally catch up on my sleep.
My friends are commenting about my dark circles, I think it's time to do something about them.

Dad has been complaining too. Yesterday he came into my room. "Huiwen, what time are you going to sleep?" He paused for a while. "Do you even sleep??"
"Yes Dad, I do. I will." I was playing EQ, explains the short sentences, haha.
"When I was your age I didn't even--"
"Dont bullshit Dad you think I dunno what you do when you were my age."
He made a sound and left me alone.
Yeah my dad was worse than me because when community centers were popular then he was some leader of some sort and was constantly organising outings, games and stuff.
It pays to have an active dad!

It feels so weird to be going to bed at this time. I am very used to hitting the sack at 3am now. It's almost 2am. I can't wait to have uninterrupted sleep till 12 pm tomorrow.
I know it's a futile wish but I will still hope for it anyway.
I'm a light sleeper so every morning when the house gets busy everyone refuses to let me sleep.
Sigh.
Bedtime.

My past few days was spent trying to get myself intoxicated (unsuccessfully) with alcohol. Definitely an unglamorous wish, because when it happens you wake up with a throbbing head ,hair reeking of smoke and bad breath.

But the month has been pretty depressing for me, so it is an essential wish.

The past 2 days made me forget alot. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
No drunken state but it will happen soon.

Soon, guys. Time to see a drunk Erwin
