It's been pretty quiet on the "friends" front. And I do not mean the defunct tv series. Yes, I do see the usual crowd online, people like Sam, Chloe, Elaine, Kav. But. Notice the other missing names ? Right. So I brought it up. Sorry, but you have to pardon me for being a little hung up over this fact. Come on, 10 years is not nothing ! But screw it lah (Singlish !).
Anyways, major things are brewing up on the work front. I might have to leave my comfortable place here sooner than I thought. I have not spoken it to anybody, except for the people at work (they know and they were totally agreeable on the idea) and Kav and Chloe. The rest ? What rest ? I'll tell Mother in due time.
Exams in 2 weeks. Yeah. 14 days, feeling the irritable stress syndrome. Yup, catch me at the wrong time and I will be bitchy.

Confirmed Buffy TVS fan
I just caught the season ender of BTVS on video. So very sad ! Spike sacrificed himself for the sake of humanity ! And Anya died too. Seemed like the demons turned good guys had something in common. Ultimately when The First was annihilated, so will they. *sobs*

Gift buying time
Okay here's my situation. I need to get 3 gifts. 2 are for people who are leaving my workplace and 1 is for someone who gave me some T-shirts. No make that about 13 pieces of topwear to be exact ! Cheryl (bless her kind soul) asked me yesterday for my T-shirt size and that if I wanted some black T-shirts which were never worn before. I thought, yeah fine, no harm done, I could do with more T-shirts for work. And today she brought one paper bag full of T-shirts ! I was flabbergasted ! I had thought she'd give like 2 or 3 pieces but 1 whole paper bag ? Like wow ! I really need to show her my appreciation and thanks ! Otherwise my mother would wallop me !

FW: Women over 30
Cheers to all you women over 30 (especially if you've just turned 30 =)), for those who aren't yet, this something to look forward to.
This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes Andy Rooney says:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.
A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.
Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant.
Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 30. They always know.
A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag queens. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over! A woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30s, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize.
Andy Rooney
For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk or free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.

I miss Chris & Rita
You know what ? I realised how much I missed watching Chris and Rita bantering on the gogglebox. Granted the show's been axed so many years ago and that the main tv channel here had stopped airing the show oh, 5 or 6 years ago even though it did not cover the entire series. As so many fans of Silk Stalkings attested, the show is so different without the chemistry of Chris & Rita. This reminiscing started when I was thinking about the other shows whose leads connected so well. One that comes to mind currently is between Luke and Lorelai of Gilmore Girls. I caught today's episode and it was a prelude to how explosive the pairing of both of them is going to be. I am so excited and feeling all weird. I read the season guide and more or less knew they are gonna hook up which made me afraid too. What if the new season decides to break them up ? Like so many other characters who eventually got together. Either they fizzle out soon after the pairing or the show will bomb. Just look at Buffy and Spike. I am watching it now. So sad !
I'd been keeping tabs of some interesting pairings. Like Mark Greene and Susan Lewis. And Ed and Carol. How about Neo and Trinity ? And who could forget Fox and Dana ? Look at what happened to all of them. True no tv shows can go on forever, what with fickle-minded audiences and all. I understand that, so given Hollywood's preposterousness, it should be clearly understood, weird characters come and go all the time. Okay, I'm babbling now. But just one final thing, remember all the favourite characters you so wish get hooked up and then remember how u felt when your wish was granted. Yeah, it really bites.

What's Your Mobile Style?
Your mobile style is Spunky and Spontaneous
It's a good thing a wild child like you has a cell phone to rescue you from sticky situations. Always on the go, you're a curious soul who loves to try new things and meet new people. You follow your heart and trust your instinct — whether it leads you to adventure in exotic places or start conversations with strangers.
While you're usually not the type to chat on the phone for hours, you never know when you might get lost and need directions or get hungry and need a restaurant recommendation. Sure, marching to your own drummer is nice, but you certainly know when it's time to call in for backup. Let's just hope you don't need that SOS any time soon.

FW: Basic questions for George Bush
George Bush goes to a primary school to talk about the war. After talking for a while he tells the children to go ahead and ask about anything. A little boy puts up his hand and George asks, "Yes, son, whats your name?"
Little boy answered, "Bob."
George asked again, "And what is your question Bob?"
He said, "Well I have three questions.
1. Why did the US invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
2. Why are you president if Al Gore got more votes than you?
3. What happened to Osama Bin Laden?"
Just as he finishes his questions, the school bell rings and George says to the kids that they'll continue after the break. When the break's over George continues, "Ehm, where were we? Ah, right questions!"
A little girl puts up her hand.
George points at her and asks "What's your name then?"
Little girl replied, "Sally."
George asked, "And what's your question Sally?"
She said, "Well, I have 5 questions.
1. Why did the US invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
2. Why are you president if Al Gore got more votes than you?
3. What happened to Osama Bin Laden?
4. Why did the school bell ring 20 minutes before it usually does? And
5. Where is Bob?"
