right now, i still feel incredibly grossed-out by the series of Aliens’ movies airing on SCV for these past few days. those slimy, slimy slime.. ugh, and to think i was eating my dinner while watching it! i think i can never watch an alien movie ever again. it’s gripping in a way that makes you wanna see how gross and ugly the aliens can turn out to be one after another.. but other than the kickbutt moves and the series of bangbangbangbangbanggggg shots, i dont think this is my kind of movie. it chills down to my spine! brrr.

i think i will stick to nice, heartwarming, hot-chocolate-y romances for now. heh.

anyway, speaking of shows, one drama that i really really want to watch right now is, Which Planet Did You Come From?, a korean series that starred a really sweet-looking girl and this hunk of a guy who is in quite a number of korean shows. sigh, i wonder where exactly will i have the time to comb through the entire drama. in between working like a starved dog and sleeping like a starved pig, i dont really have any time to sit back and enjoy. (how many times a day must i go through this whining? ha, get used to it :D)

i’m still thinking whether i should take part in the gift-swap this year. it will be fun, it will be stressful, choosing a random gift with minimum of 15 dollars. i would love to take part in such an once-in-a-while event but then again, i had asked, and Mum told me not to. and then again, i dont really have any mood to rip open gifts and then ‘oohed and ahhed’ in pretense delight. i rather go catch a movie and stuff chips by myself. but then again, maybe not. being alone would be a very sad thing during this christmas season.

sometimes, like today, you know what, the way one tiny issue can set off a chain of events make me really at awed.

like, after work, i went up to Sans Bookshop to look for books to rent, and at the same time, hoping i could track the book that Da wanted, The Golden Compass for her and guess what! i’m so lucky, lucky to spot the book lying on the counter just when i was about to go up and pay for my book! turns out that someone has just dropped the book off - no wonder i couldnt find it the last few times i was there. so, i paid for the two books and hurriedly called Da to let her know. she and i starting talking.. when she suddenly ask where i was and that Jas wanna buy rochers for her colleagues. i was frowning at that point of time, really, i was super tired and i just want to go home and cuddle my bear. but i couldnt say no, so i have to call Jas and ask her what rochers she wanted to get. which leads me down to watsons and fairprice but i still couldnt find what she wanted. so, she asked to meet her at the mart and we might just find something there.

sigh, you see, one phone call due to a kind act can lead to a trip to watsons, fairprice and the mart whereby i waited for her for like, half-hour before she came flying down - when i just wanted to go home and snore like a pig from the beginning. (whines) and then, i never thought of spending a single cent but in the end, i spent a total of $36.90 buying shampoo and ZA foundation at watsons. T_T and plus the rental of the books, $36.90+$27.00 = $63.90 :’( ah, sigh sigh sigh! worse still, when i went back home, i realized that Da had actually bought the foundation for me!! there goes my $33.90. SIGH.

okay, i have enough of whining. ha.

anyway, the other book that i had rented is called The Lovely Bones - i hoped it’s good!

just about today, a friend smsed me and asked me when would i be free to start visiting universities’ open houses?

is it really so soon?, i was wondering, gripped by a sudden wave of disbelief. universites sound so faraway. i still feel like a kid, putting on socks everyday, smoothing down the creases of my uniform. how could time just flew away like that? where have they gone to? to think that we are always wasting bit by bit of our time, and when it accumulates, it leaves you dumb-founded and shocked.

time, could you please slow down?

and just today, i opened, stacked, and bundled away 2 big boxes of g-strings and undies.

.. is this wasting time too? hmm.
