Life...and other afflictions

The rantings and uninteresting events of my life

I am insane.

I have wasted money watching 2 movies TWICE! But well, not that I didn't like them...I do...just that I should stop wasting money on the cinemas and just get the DVD, right? I watched Bridget Jones 2 twice (albeit in 2 different languages) and The Incredibles twice too. For the latter, I went once with my boyfriend and once with Steffi, my friend from school. I like Jackjack cos he's sooooooo cute. Makes you wish you had babies too. Except babies grow up and aren't cute anymore and they also cost a lot of money! But apart from cutesy little Jackjack, I also like Edna. She's hilarious! She kinda reminds me of someone, but I can't remember who at the moment. She's so pushy that it's cute. You can't do anything about her...but the best part is that her intentions are cute. Well, it was better the second time round mostly cos I didn't quite understand the German completely. This time it was better :) I love The Incredibles. They're called Die Unglaublichen in German.

I also watched Ocean's Twelve. Not spectacular, but hey, Brad Pitt was cute and so was George Clooney. Tempts me to buy the ER DVDs...but sadly, I have no money. I loved ER!! I liked Noah Wyle the most. But ok, the movie confused me...but maybe it was just the German...I don't know. All I know is, Brad Pitt is yummylicious. I wanted to watch Phantom of the Opera...but since I've spent the money on The Incredibles instead, I guess I shan't go watch it. I'll watch The Spongebob Movie with Steffi though. The only thing is, I don't understand why she likes paying the 1 Euro extra to sit higher up. It's not like the theatres are so full that we have to sit right in the front. But ok, she probably gets more pocket money than me anyway. Other times, I'll try to convince other people to sit Parkett (code word for "seats in the bottom half of the theatre) instead of Loge (higher half).

I'm hungry. Sugar makes you feel sick but hungry. I ate too many green apple strings. Actually, I HATE sweets (candy), but I guess sometimes it's ok to make an exception. Except now I won't be touching candy for the next 6 months...I can't imagine imbibing so much processed sugar and nothing else. Sure, I eat lots of chocolate, but that's different...it's not nearly PURE sugar.

Now I'm having a RETRO dinner. Why do I call it that? Well, I'm eating stuff that I used to eat EVERY F***ing day during my first semester. (By the way, I realise that I don't miss it ONE TINY BIT) During my second, I got slightly more adventurous and well, increased my repetoire to about 6 things (from 3)...and it was still BORING...but this sem, my food life has been rather more varied. Something new almost every day. I've eaten most things only twice or 3 times. That's life! But when my boyfriend's not here, I just eat whatever there is left in the fridge. But when he comes over, I usually plan exactly what I wanna buy and cook. But these days, he's quite busy with studying and work, so I end up like cooking for myself most of the time. But I don't care...Christmas will be something special!

Sigh...but there is NO SNOW. NOT A DROP OF SNOW. The skies are BLUE...AZURE BLUE WITH NOT A SEMBLANCE OF A CLOUD! SO much for a WHITE CHRISTMAS!! A rainy one maybe, but not a snowy white one.

I'm craving for roasted almonds...the ones with lots of fat and sugar...yum yum...I was at the Christmas market today, but didn't buy any...although I was dead tempted to...it smelled so so so YUMMY! I was totally drooling...but my mission was to take photos of the Christmas market...so my hands were full of my camera most of the time. Sigh. I guess I'll pop over there either tomorrow or Wed...I am badly craving the nuts.

What else did I do today besides watching The Incredibles and walking through the Christmas market? I went shopping. Saw lots of cute clothes I wanted to buy...maybe a hat too...but in the end, I just bought noodles, light sauce, and some packet mixes. I walked past this shop that was having a moving out sale...so everything was 50% off. I bought my boyfriend a shirt, cos he has scarily few clothes. About a third of them are "uncle-looking " shirts. Like those Crocodile brand printed shirts that my uncle wears. And hello, he's only 23...he needs a wardrobe overhaul man! But his other clothes are quite ok lah...although one shirt of his looks quite gay. Anyway, so the shirt was a really good deal! I hope he doesn't get pissed with me though. We once had this huge argument about giving presents. I totally believe in the joy of giving, while he told me not to waste money buying things for him. Sigh. I have never ever cried after giving someone a present before...but there was this one time. He actually wants a pencil case for Christmas...so I got him one...after searching for a long long time, cos most pencil cases here that are not for girls are fall-asleep boring! But then, I realised that he has a total of TWO pens...and a blunt pencil...so I added in a few pens that I don't use, 2 pencils, a sharpener, a highlighter and an eraser. Wanted to give him a ruler too, but I didn't think he'd be too thrilled with a sparkly purple ruler, or the Powerpuff Girls one that I'm currently using. Then I also saw this showergel that I liked that was on offer...so I bought that too. I hope he won't be pissed. I didn't spend all that much money...less than 11 Euros, in fact. I hope he'll be nice and just say "Thank you...it's what I've always wanted!" Ok, that's an exaggeration...I just want a "Thank you". That's all...no lecture about wasting money or not being used to girls giving him things. I'd be thrilled to bits if that happened. I can't wait till he opens his present! :)

    I tend not to drop many responses, but i did a few searching and wound up here Untitled.
    And I actually do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or does it appear like a few of these remarks come across like they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting on other social sites, I'd
    like to follow anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your social sites like
    your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

    When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time
    a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same
    comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Appreciate it!
