i'm nearby

my warm breath fogged my glasses as i blew at my hands.
as my bare toes tapped the puddle of water near my feet.
i could freeze to death in this cold, rainy weather to keep you company,
and be perfectly happy.

u~mm... yay?

my supervisor and i. we had this particularly long discussion the other day. during which he was worried over a factor that might negatively affect my experiment results. i pointed out the obvious and actually solved the problem.

he looked straight at me and said thoughtfully, "hmm, you're smarter now."

the nearest to a compliment i've ever received from him.

the Raya post that almost got away

ah, yes... it's raya.

.abah ku yang retro di pagi raya.

.ummi ku yang evergreen.

wishing all readers a happy one. i had.
albeit too short.

but hey, who's complaining?

ho-- boy...

~fans self~ he's so hawt, i could've melted.

"you're wearing new spectacles?"

"yep,just bought it yesterday."

"multi-coated?"

"yep."

"how much?"

"around rm300."

"i see. and the lenses they're tinted blue?"

"yep."

"hmm~...blue."

"?"

" my new favourite colour."

just when i thought i knew me, BAM! i do something crazy

really. it could've been the phenol i smelled earlier. it could've even been the bouin vapor that i used the day before. it must have been something toxic that impaired my brain because i don't know how to explain my selfish act.

i'm sorry. i don't mean to hurt anybody's feeling. nor do i mean to put you in an awkward situation.

my deepest and sincerest apologies.

5 tips of not making your girl pissed off over your girlfriend

1.your girl doesn't need to know what you told your girlfriend about her.
-it makes her think that she has to have your girlfriend's consent to be with you. NEVER.EVER.DO.THIS.

2.your girl doesn't really want to know the witty remarks/hilarious jokes/latest gossip from your girlfriend.
-your girl will think that you're subconsciously comparing her with your girlfriend. and if she confronts you with it, means she has had enough and only divine intervention can save you from her wrath.

3.never use the words "...but she has known me for ages", "...but she understands me better than myself" or anything else in similar vein for excuses should the need to do so rise.
-your girl would like to think that only and ONLY her thought counts and she is the ONLY ONE that "knows you better than yourself". eventhough you value your girlfriend's opinions much more than hers. just DON'T.

4.cut down the playful "punch-at-the-shoulder"s and control your impulse to joke uncontrollably with your girlfriend in front of your girl.
-your girl doesn't appreciate you being "chummy" with another female. even if she says she's cool with it. DO.NOT.BELIEVE.

5.only call or text your girlfriend in front of your girl in life-threatening situations.
-this is a no-brainer. duh~*


found myself in the "girlfriend" seat a number of times. too many for my own liking, i say. my guy friends have a tendency to get me in deep shit although i know they didn't mean to. judging from the cold shoulders their girls gave me (which the guys were totally clueless to begin with), it's a wonder i haven't freeze to death already.

guys, however platonic our friendship is, remember this. your girl don't want to share you with any other female in your life (family and relatives not included, but sometimes they will be).

She's so pretty

congratulations to our dearest angel shirley who tied the knot with the dashing mr. huat on september 22nd. i'm going to shamelessly pimp their wedding bunting here. the fishy peeps especially the ladies, got to dress up for the occasion.
yes,yes...all the high heels came out to play that night.

such a lovely affair. ~sniffles~ wishing the both of you a happy ever after.

here's a citrusy YAM SENG!!!

The Lost and Found

<sub>When you visit, I'll sleep
on the couch while you sleep
in my bed. I'll leave
my best blanket
for you, take my nightmares
with me. In the morning
tell me how well you slept
and make coffee
while I crawl back, nearly
sleepless, into my bed
and leave you
to the silence
of your first cigarette
of the morning. Watch over me
as I sleep, please
shake me awake
if I begin to struggle
against the next loup garou
shifting its shape, against
the new werewolf
too cruel to notice
its moon has gone down.

-- Sherman Alexie</sub>

found this floating on the net. would like to credit but not sure who and how.
yep, this tasted like Lindt bitter chocolate. (i'm craving one now...)

guh~

there's no need to go to such hassle just to make my life miserable.

it's much better if you just stay at your place and spread the gloom from there.
better still wish you're not around to spoil the mood.

mood spoiler.

Mahal betul ayat yang awak kasik kat saya.

one tequila shot

attempted a mutiny, and failed pathetically.

discovered that i cannot say NO directly to his face.
discovered that my resolve weakened when he hemmed and hawed his way out.
discovered that it takes more than guts to stand up to him, we forgot cunning.
discovered too that there are many ways to put your own foot in your mouth.

in the end, a compromise was agreed. both of us swallowed our disappointment gamely although afterwards i can't help feeling miserably depressed.

keeping up the smile with the labmates' support is much easier than brooding alone.

and also found my substitute for tequila shots. you're a much better option than getting drunk. gracias.

a tribute to the lip-smacking, delicious and hawt LAVI.

just finished watching 6 episodes of D.gray-man back2back. episode 44 left me with a fuzzy feeling. ~awww...dat's so sweet Lavi...~ :melt:

a grateful huge kiss to Yus for sending me Tamaki Nami's Brightdown. did he had a premonition or what? you don't know how much sunnier it made my day.


and Hoshino sensei...NO manga for 5 weeks??? 5 damn weeks without anything to satisfy my Lavi-fix??? that is just SO cruel...~wail~ you know i still worship you, you evil, heartless mangaka. but for now, plz excuse me while my inner fangirl wallow in self-pity and utter despair. (T_T)

Stop typing...you're annoying!!!

:ikanrerama taking a deep calming breath:

a friend has been bugging me with questions through yahoo messenger. Okay...I understand that you might have some “difficulties” understanding computer jargons. but for crying out loud. HOW MANY TIMES MUST I EXPLAIN IT TO YOU??? arghhh….!!!!

patience running out, I asked him to google the said subject. I even generously supplied the keywords. But noooOOOOoooo…..he wanted me to google it for him saying, I quote, “it’s much easier if you do it for me.”

WHA~AT THE -insert creative swearing here- HE~ELL???

I did what any sane person would have done in my place. Barred him from seeing me online.

Dumb annoying friend aside, I've got to admit. I have a HUGE problem with people who have lots of questions to ask. Intellectual, profound, mind-boggling questions I can tolerate, but questions that were asked when the answer is very obvious or because said person don’t want to think for him/herself… oooh, you’re so going to be at the receiving end of my wrath.

Sorry darling, I haven't got any silver spoon left. would you like me to shove some common sense up your nose into your brain with my bare hands instead?
