Today, marks the auspicious date for one's moving into a new house. My mum's excitement to conduct rituals was quite suffocating. She insisted that fruits and joss sticks be placed on red paper right smack at the doorway, while she muttered prayers for certain deities to bless the house and our family members who will reside in here. I observed silently as she shouted "FENG SHAN SHUI QI!" and "FA AH!" (otherwise known as HUAT AH!), as she paraded in and out of our bedrooms with joss sticks. I was banned and had unnerving stares shot at me when I ACCIDENTALLY exploded with fits of "oh my god!","oh shit" and what the Mother terms as "annoying questions". And as part of this ritual, both of us have to stay overnight, and have a homecooked meal in our new apartment. Blk 219B, Bedok Central. Address seemingly much shorter than my current house's hmm.
Thank god for my sister's ingenuity to bring me my laptop, that I can secretly (ok, not that secretly) tap into an unknown stranger's wireless network, and stab Boredom in the eye by Youtubing Secret by Jay Chou, and of course, blogging. *smirk*
Watched Red Cliff with Kenn yesterday, and I must say, the Generals were made out to be such awesome and delicious heroes. I got very excited when each of them stepped out valiantly on horses and alone in each fighting scene, having to fend off inuandation of infantry soldiers by themselves. I loved how these 3 generals under Liu Bei's command were oh-so loyal, and how each of them were carved out to be gentle yet brave, attached with an aggressive fighting spirit, despite staring defeat in the face at Cao Cao's crazy fleets of ships and tens of thousands of soldiers. The war strategies by ZhuGe Liang, played by Takeshi, were too cool. I now have a sudden interest in Chinese history hur hur. Takeshi was hilarious and cute in the movie, please! Girls, even if you have absolutely no interest in war movies, violence, or chinese history whatsoever, please watch Red Cliff for the A-list actors (especially Takeshi!). Lin Chiling, who was playing the role of Zhou Yu's virtuous, loving wife, was pretty redundant in the film. Her acting was quite pathetic, really. All she had to do was to look pretty, show off her sexy belly, act really sensual even when helping a horse give birth (what!?). And then suddenly (spoiler alert) the entire movie got me disappointed when I had the revelation that Cao Cao's war motive revolved around her.
I got a secret!
I secretly miss working at ICC...
cos' of the lovely people there! Here comes my list of ICC people I adore and will miss ever so much when I go overseas in 3 weeks time!
My crazy lovely friend, Cassie Baby! My my, She never ever fails to brighten the day when I'm working with her, especially with her silly dramatic antics like rubbing her tummy, and her random remarks! She is the only one like me who also closes the cash register using our tummies!! *guffaws* Oh-so adorable! I love her to bits and am missing her now! I'd love to have late night Uno and drinks again with you, babe =)
BLUE EYES! Ah Beng stunt biker! Object of desire of Blue Eyes Fan Club by girls far and wide!He and J made Bouncy Bouncy Smack Smack a song I will never forget. Looks really lethal and cold at first with em' piercing blue eyes, but that exterior melts away immediately when em' vulgarities and funny nonsense pours out of that mouth! He loves to talk to small girls in school uniforms, then boast about his extensive fan club! He gets soooo red, like me, after a sip of alcohol =)
FARAND CHEN! I never knew I could ever click with someone so readily, so crazily, so quickly within 1 working session. He is my GURLFRAN, my male self, and I swear we were somehow separated at birth. Fantastic, awesome boy whom I love to ask to drive me back home after work. His accent imitations are fabulous, and we share the same taste for lame-ass humour! Love ya tons, Gurlfran! You da man, you mah homie, ya dig? *thumps chest* ;)
Mr Jonathan Tan! Haha he told me he didn't like me last time cos' I was too friendly! But I forgive him cos' he is very adorable and loves to hang his BIRDIE at Bedok North with em' Ah Peks. I love talking nonsense with him at work haha. Jon, You still owe me teh tarik! Always talking about Muay Thai, and checking out hot girls with me. Together, Cyn, Gen, you and I will rule NTU!
Hui Fen, Mei Mei, Darren, Jeremy have all made working at ICC wonderful too! HF being the one whom I have to massage shoulders for after she works out too much at the gym. Mei Mei the one with cute lips, Darren the trash-talking Phang Sai, and Jeremy the one with random sexy dance moves for songs on the radio! Nicole, the pretty one who had to endure endless daunting questioning about her flowers from certain SUITORS, Luci the sexy girl, Stef the cute one who did the Yahoo Party with me, and sweet Jae =).

And And! my pretty Cynthia Baby whom I will miss so so so so much when I leave to the U.S. She has been the one whom I will call and complain to for gossip sessions, the one whom I hang out with at school, the one who always accompanies me to look for my belongings when lose em' at random places in school, and the one who has made me laugh oh-too many times. I love you, babe! I cannot wait for Tuesday!!
This is the end of my uber long post! Cheers, everyone! =)
