beast jerkie

yes, a very thin line between prince charming and beast jerkie. . Met an ultimate jerk for a guy over friday's nite out. a fren's "prince charming" - or so, she thinks.. but then again, that was before friday's episode.

she was raving about this hot guy who works in the same office building, and how charming he was and stuff like that. she was practically going goo-goo and ga-ga over him when she told her story. And, who knows - that very evening, he was in the same bar as us. . mine-mine, talk about small world. needless to say, she was all excited, yet trying to be really cool about things. you know how it is... i'm sure everyone has experienced that... if you haven't... You big fat liar!

okie, back to the story... she went "there he is. his soooooooooo cute!!!".. my eyes scanned through the room and look for any being that fits her exclaimation and trying to reconcile within my mind the word "Cute" and the physical match to it. You cannot imagine the immense difficulty i had in trying to do that. After many clock ticks, i manage to pick one out. i picked this guy, who looks decent enough, a nice height, nice built.

But, alas, he was not the one What my friend called cute, was this stout, beefy (okie, not that beefy really either) looking fella - looking really smirk. His got this pan-asian look though, maybe that's why my girlfren was attracted? i guess his okie, not ugly, not exactly cute either. He was quite a distant away, so, she didn't say hello to him, neither does she want to go over, which i'm thankful for.

Here, the story starts, lover boy happens to be on our side of the bar. He was walking, and being all over this other girl all at the same time. I wonder how people can actually walk in such fashion... but then... it takes all kinds to make the world, from fire jugglers to thong wearers to, our dear "star". He walked past me - and took a look at me. What follows really got me so grossed out. He walked, groped the lady he was with, and stared at me, and smile.. most probably a feeble attempt in looking charming, and said Hi. And no, he couldn't have thought i was a fren, and no, i was not "charmed" in anyway or other. In fact, just the reverse. I guess my reaction must be a look of utter disgust. There was this other guy who was next to me who laughed out so loudly at the whole scene played before him. I looked at this other guy, and, well, joined in laughing. It was hilarious when I thought about it - its absoluately ridiculous! Gosh!

Never have i encountered such appalling greeting. Ever! gosh! my goodness! talk about being a first-class jerk. think "prince charming" beat everyone to it..

The Squawk Box Debut.

*drum rolls* Introducing the new commentary input section.. The Squawk Box!!!!! *ta-da-da-da* You guys can enter your comments in this new found fella here. . . I know-I know, i haven't been any good in entering blogs for these couple of months. But then, there wasn't much to write on, or, would you prefer to read a blog that's full of mundanes ?

Anyway, back to the squawks.. introductions were made, courtesy of selene. thanks girl! and now, i've got it up =) write! write!

its friday today. . . had dinner with selene last nite and we talked about a few stuff - and guess what!!! ~ i just realise that my life is so.. uneventful! why??? i have totally no idea. its not as if i'm a sick puppy, having to stay at home to be shielded from the weather and stuff. No. I am a perfectly healthy and active individual. I do get to do things - enjoy myself, go on trips and stuff. Just, well, nothing news worthy happens. A good thing ? Maybe - Maybe not.. Or maybe, i just feel that whatever that's happening isn't really news worthy.. *shrugs* i don't know.

or - maybe i should tell you about this horrible dream i had 2 nites ago. well, not as in horrid-horrid, but rather, disgusting-horrid dream. I guess it was triggered off by that long standing orange that was sitting on my desk. Decided to eat it after its been there for about 3 weeks ? -- As I was eating it, i wondered if it'll give me some tummy problems. . but well, i just gobbled it up even with that thought in mind and went on with my work.
Didn't really thought much about it till i feel asleep that nite and went R.E.M.

I dreamt that i was not feeling well, and i threw up a whole bunch of worms. Eeeeewwwww.. they were those fat-looking earth worms; those you see in that Fear Factor, reality tv game show. They were a little pinky too - and no, they didn't wave at me and say hello. But they were still wriggling.. ekee isn't it ? but, surprisingly, in the dream, i was totally calm - i remembered i went- "oh look!" - " i think i'm sick, better go visit the doc", and scooted off.

Strange enough, i realise that i've forgotten to bring any money along when i was on my way there. And, coincidentally, I bumped into my dad, talk about convenience! I asked dad for money - and he gave me 20 bucks. (like its enough!!!) anyway, i took 20 bucks and ran off. I don't think i remembered dreaming of anything after that. . .

a dumb dream isn't it ? and triggered off by a single orange. =)

The Story of a Modern Day Twinkle Belle.

Started to toy with the idea of Twinkle Belle - never growing up forever. Don't you wish sometimes that you never grow up ? well, i have. I would still love to sit in the play pan and make made-believe cities and buildings in the sand pit with the play-mate gang, consisting off my brother, me, and this other little neighbour boy. I still remember the fun that we had "killing and destroying" one another's "citizens" in our sand-city. (I know, i sounds quite destructive for kids like us then. But, we're no tyrant now that we've both grown up. well, at least for me. =) ) It was just plain fun - enjoying one another's company. Yes, without that - "oh.. i think he likes u.. aren't you going to go out with him on a date ?" Don't you just hate it when people do that to you these days, simply because you enjoy someone's company, who happen to be of a different gender.

Sad isn't it. sigh. . . i do wish i'm back as a child, never minding such annoying issues in life. i just want to sit in my play pan and.. play! leave me alone, don't ask me dumb questions.. Grrrrrr... !!!!!....

Look at twinkle belle and peter pan - they were partners, best friends. Not in a romantic way, but in a deeper sort of friendship way. Isn't it just perfect ? I mean, i'll love to have just a fren, who enjoys the things i do, for instance, sword fights with Captain Hook, or doing fun stuff like splashing around playing. . . Just fun stuff. Nothing too complicated.

Sometimes, don't you just wish everyone doesn't grow up ? You know, just like nymphs. . . the ones that dance around in forests and play all the time ?? If everyone remains at such a stage, will the place be a better place, i wonder. No corruption, no murders, no greed. Hmmm...... ... ... Or, ... if that really happens, will there be anyone who will stop to think that we should need better cars, bigger homes, prettier clothes?
