Uncertainties..

... irks me to death.


Despise, hatred, worry - they all come together all at the same time.
Disorientated, self doubt then kicks in.

Negativity, they rush in waves.. hush.
Pessimist - time to replace the queen.

What do I want, really?
Its time.. its here..


Something is about to change!

Big Big Weekend!

This weekend was full of surprises.
And big as in alot has happened.
Friday was stressful, as one of my peer was leaving. Only it means I will inherit her team. Yep, making my team double its size. Like suddenly got preggers with alot of kids *roll eyes*

The BF and I decided we need a little de-stress; so we went for a movie.
We chose Detective 2.


This was set in Thailand, the old deco / furniture really have the Thai vibes.
Dialogue was in Cantonese.

Aaron Kwok, reprising his role as Tam, the dorky private eye who 'fumbles' his way around investigating murders.


Kwok plays Tam, an ex-cop turned private detective, who is still trying to make sense of his parents' death. This is because a series of mysterious murders reminds him of his childhood. And as he 'assists' his cop buddy Chak (Liu Kai Chi) to solve the mysteries, against the wishes of Chak's boss, Inspector Lo (Patrick Tam), he discovers clues that suggest that the killer is psychotic.

And as Thai police start pulling in mental cases for investigation, the killings start piling up...

The plot is so similar to the first movie that this one is more of a remake than a sequel. In fact those who have seen the 2007 film would get a feeling of deja vu as Kwok and Liu Kai Chi go through the same buddy-buddy repartee here. 

Director Oxide Pang's work here is erratic at best. He expands and repeats scenes of Tam's doggedness in his unofficial investigations and squanders the chance to heighten thrills in the murder sequences by cutting off abruptly at crucial stages. He makes no attempt to lend credibility to the plot involving the Thai police, making them look so incompetent and ignored.

All in all, I enjoyed the movie. There were times when I felt that it was dragged on too long - I don't quite like suspense when I watch in cinema.
There will be a sequel to this, I am sure.
*Aaron is still hot as hell - that body is damn fit ;)


 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Saturday morning - (ooohhh I love sleepin in) I found out my favourite pet groomer has sold her business. Gee.. I'll miss her service. Managed to find another good one, RM45 for a bath + grooming. My pooch Fi had a clean hair cut. Ahh no more fur on my black clothes! :)
While waiting, I had my facial at Origins. I find myself feeling reluctant to go nowadays. As if appointments like this tied up all my weekend time. But it is more towards my dissatisfaction of their service. This time my appointment was pushed back to 45 mins later because the earlier customer was late.

Without hesitation, I told the manager I was unhappy. Well get a proper policy going. Not only is it super difficult to make an appointment (they don't have a regular therapist who is available every weekend; and I wasn't told about this before I signed the damned package) - now my whole schedule is at risk because of some people who can't be punctual?

I was promised this would not happen again. To be fair, who doesn't like a pampering facial? Origins is unique that during the masking session, they place a hot pillow (filled with husk?) on my shoulder, and another cool eye pillow. Hence I was never left feeling cold and uneasy. On top of that, their products smells great.

My only disappointment is that massage isn't long enough. Love the one by Leonard Drake.

In the evening, we had another round of pampering - Foot Reflexology.
Ahh so good for the body, though I felt pain sometimes (eeps, warning sign - something is not right. I never felt pain during a reflexology before). The lady loosened up those tensed muscles.. bliss. Then headed off to Kayu for teh tarik and roti planta - their kuah ikan is the best!

The BF enjoyed his football match while I read reviews on Phyto - Phytopolleine Universal Elixir Scalp Stimulant. MakeupAlley has a rating of 5! Its on sale now btw..

Got an email from Vintage Sister that my order has finally been dispatched. About time yo! Got home, and proceeded to filter out some mags to get rid of.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sunday - again, slept in :P After lunch, headed to Pisa for the furniture expo. Didn't think I was gonna spend but... :O
I came back about 1.5k poorer :P I bought a nice study table + a bookcase (delivery is 10 days). And then we headed to town for yummy GuiLing Gao with Pearl (anti aging yo RM8) before stepping into Mekio for an office chair. RM378 *cough cough* 

But, considering that I have not change my furniture for the past 12 years.. not bad eh? ;) In 2 weeks' time, I'll have a "new" home. Hehehe.

No grocery shopping this week, just tom yum dinner and home to rest.
Did a round of laundry and chilling..

Then Brother called. His request - take a Friday off. He is treating me a weekend in Singapore! Whoaaa I mean huh?!

 
This is like sooo sudden! I don't know, I mean I'll be heading to Korea end of next month.. But sounds so bloody tempting I'm eyeing the Singapore Sales now...

What a weekend, eh?! ;)

Affair!

On a random note - isn't this nice?
Surprise from Google - well done guys! :D

Andddd ewwww another dream!
This time I was sort of having an affair, and the guy in my dream is someone from work. Urrggghhhh!

What bloody hint could this be?

The dream dictionary says:
To dream that you commit adultery or have an affair, signifies your sexual urges and desires that are longing to be expressed. Alternatively, it indicates self-betrayal of your subconscious. You may find yourself entangled in a situation that is not in your best interest, perhaps even illegal. 

At times people have dreams about cheating on their spouses as a response to a long and monogamous relationship. The dream may be a compensation for boredom, monotony or unhappiness. 

On the other hand, the dream could be about you connecting to deeper parts of self, which is represented by a desirable person of the opposite sex. On rare occasions a person may suspect, or feel on some level, that their mate is not faithful but is not willing to admit this consciously. 

Thus, in the dream state the individual confronts his fears and from there may begin to deal with the situation on a conscious level. 

Hoo Boy!! WTF?!?

Yet another mind boggling dream, so random.
Or am I being hinted?


I was about to reach the airport when I realized I left my passport at home!
Merde! Impossible to turn back as flight is about 30 mins (or 15?) time.


Aarrgghhh I missed my flight to Singapore!

From Google:
To dream of missing flight means you are overwhelmed with work or other activities and you sense you lost control of time (missing flight is a sense not being able to be on time somewhere). You are just not able to cope with time schedules and dead-lines.No matter what you do. It all is too much,and too fast.



It is a common dream where you miss your flight because of different reasons (a wrong ticket, trouble with passport, money). This dream indicates that you are juggling with a lot of responsibilities (luggage) and struggling against time constraints. But at the same time the dream reveals that, in general, you are a very well-organised person. The dream says that you need to plan ahead and tackle smaller pieces of a task at a time, don't take on more than is manageable.


Man, darn good fortune teller. Indeed I am currently juggling alot of things. Work especially. And then there is life to live. (I absolutely hate it when I need to work over the weekend, but my job role sorta requires it) :S

So... more time management it is.
Not that I'm not already good at this.. Hmmmm
