Just Another Night Out

s t a r m | s t April 29th, 2008

Under Duapailang’s, The Artist Formerly Known as LuvPhobia, orders and a promise to RN, I went down to CQ to meet up with them for some chillin’ after a full day of work. Our first stop was to The Arena [despite my violent objections that that is a boring place with bad music] where DPL got all psychotically excited about the prospect of meeting cute models. We left before the Models’ Night thingie started though, due to the terribly bad music ‘pure torture of sitting right in front of the stage and hearing the band sing cry “Mercy“‘ <- transliterated from DPL.

It was before the band came on stage when an overly-friendly guy approached us from nowhere and started chatting to us like old friends. :/ Not a good idea, buddy, since you’ve came to a table consisting of 2 anti-social females and 1 anti-touch male. DPL abandoned us a minute later [after the guy rubbed his hand on his back *evil laughter*] on the pretext of smoking, leaving RN and me to hold the fort [protecting our food and drinks which the guy was blatantly hinting about having]. It became a series of musical chairs events whereby we took turns to escape the convo, sabotaging that one person left with the guy.

We unconsciously displayed unity despite the broken-up conversations we had with the guy with the lies err. twisted truths we told separately [without knowing that the other two were lying too at that very moment]. My bad, such liars we were. I was Ashlynn, a music student, while RN told him her name was Wind and all of us met in International School. She was to be an art student. DPL became Charlene [??! I know you’re my Best Female Friend but why such a girly metrosexual name??], an engineer who has just returned from a long stint in Japan and is learning violin. Oh dear, we were such bad people, bad bad people. I pity the poor guy.

But I’m really not comfy revealing things about myself to strangers I meet in a club, yosh.

Our second stop was to Gotham Penthouse which was playing amazingly good music, ‘but noone was dancing ‘cept the lone ranger in ‘Freddy of Elm’s Street’ wear doing his moves. And he is pretty good at it too!‘ [quote from DPL]. KM joined us later and the 4 of us couldn’t resist grooving to the great music on the dancefloor. The downside was that some time into the night, Mr BFF and I got a bit rough with each other [nothing naughty, hello], and we were childishly attempting to sabotage each other [ie; accidentally spilling drinks, pinching, pulling, whatevering] when he 1) pushed me so bl**dy hard that I fell to the ground and 2) yanked my hand so hard I felt a crac-kk [and that, my friends, was how I ended up with a bandaged right arm and is a leftie for these few days, but I still love him anyway and all of you should as well since he is such a nice sweet guy at most times]. Yikes, how embarrassing to 1) and how painful to 2). Shortly after the newbies Ed Edd Eddy, Cakie, Dowagr and DTTS arrived, I pleaded exhaustion and pain to retire for the night [thanks KM, for driving], leaving the rest to party til sunrise.

Just another quiet Saturday night out.

For My Liking

s t a r m | s t April 27th, 2008

A story my colleague sent me.

The Story of the Cha Siew Pau and Maggi Mee

One day, Cha siew pau and Maggi mee had a big fight. Maggi mee beat Cha siew pau up until it had bruises on its pau body.

Cha siew pau lost the fight and went back to tell its pau family;- kaya pau, tau sa pau, curry pau, etc.

Together, all the paus went to find maggi mee for revenge.

On the way, they met Spaghetti.. so all of the paus ran up to spaghetti and beat spaghetti up.

Spaghetti then screamed, “What did I do? I do not even know all of you!”

What did Cha siew pau reply?

“HA! MAGGI MEE! Don’t think I can’t recognise you after you did REBONDING!!”

Reality Dreams Reveal

s t a r m | s t April 23rd, 2008

Why. Why do I have perverse friends like him.

Me: Know what? I had a weird dream last night. I dreamt that you and my gor Ivan became good friends and you guys dragged me shopping for the stupidest men stuff. Very twilight zone-y.

Cowboy Caleb: Probably unrequited lust. Shopping signifies sex to women.

-____-”

Me: Not everything is about lust! Or maybe it’s linked ‘cos in the dream, I was bored and uninterested. *Whew!* Muahaha. You and Iv really got that whole male-bonding thing down pat though.

Cowboy Caleb: *casually went on to talk about other things because he had no good comebacks*

Silence

s t a r m | s t April 21st, 2008

When you drop a glass or a plate to the ground it makes a loud crashing sound. When a window shatters, a table leg breaks, or when a picture falls off the wall it makes a noise. But as for your heart, when that breaks, it’s completely silent. You would think as it’s so important it would make the loudest noise in the whole world, or even have some sort of ceremonious sound like the gong of a cymbal or the ringing of a bell. But it’s silent and you almost wish there was a noise to distract you from the pain.

If there is a noise, it’s internal. It screams and noone can hear it but you. It screams so loud your ears ring and your head aches. It thrashes around in your chest like a great white shark caught in the sea; it roars like a mother bear whose cub has been taken. That’s what it looks like and that’s what it sounds like, a thrashing, panicking, trapped great big beast, roaring like a prisoner to its own emotions. But that’s the thing about love - noone is untouchable. It’s as wild as that, as raw as an open flesh wound exposed to salty sea water, but when it actually breaks, it’s silent. You’re just screaming on the inside, and noone can hear it.

The Poison Tree

s t a r m | s t April 21st, 2008

Now that it’s all said and done,

I can’t believe you were the one

To build me up and tear me down,

Like an old abandoned house.

What you said when you left

Just left me cold and out of breath.

I fell too far, was in way too deep.

Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should’ve started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I’d doubt you,

I’m better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

Looping it over and over and over.

Rampage

s t a r m | s t April 20th, 2008

I slept my Sunday away - from 1am this morning to 11+am, and then from 1pm to 6pm.

This is really quite horrifying [and unusual].

***************************************************************************************

One Saturday I went somewhere east with Ahdai for a sale and in the space of 1 hour, I spent:

$165 on

4 friggin’ pairs of shoes,

and 2 friggin’ bags [which I really do not need].

And that was on top of the 2 pairs of shoes I got within the same week. 

Oh the horror the horror.

If that wasn’t an indication of stress, I don’t know what is.

 

Since when does starm|st splurge on shoes?? My weakness is earrings, earrings! [Spot ’something’ in the pic!]

Shoes bought on impulse [in desperation rather] ‘cos all my shoes were falling apart.

I gave the brown one to mum even though I like it! :) And she likes it too!

Blogs

s t a r m | s t April 17th, 2008

My boss just asked me to set. up. a. blog.

*sky turns ominously dark, lightning strikes and thunder roar, run away screaming, bang head against wall, and shout insanely I don’t know, I don’t know anything about blogs, really!!

That didn’t happen, fortunately, or unfortunately.

Instead, I stayed put in my seat throughout the painful discussion, outwardly calm but trembling inwardly, while trying really hard not to display too much knowledge about blogs, bloggers and blogging.

Hot [Off The Press!]

s t a r m | s t April 16th, 2008

*Updated*

This is what happens when you do not bring your car for maintenance. 

Just in!

A red BMW caught on fire less than 10 metres away from my workplace 15 minutes ago. Driver was nowhere to be seen [”he has zao already of course!” said my boss], the stench of the burning car was almost unbearable, and traffic slowed down to a crawl [it occurred near a busy cross-junction].

The car number plate is something something something 91S. GO BUY [Singaporeans will know what I’m talking about].

Haze, smoke, smell, cough cough cough.

The policeman nearest to the car was trying approach it when it let out a series of small but dangerous-sounding explosions.

Here comes the calvary. It took 6 people to pry open the bonnet.

When I ran down to the first floor with my phone camera, boss was laughing, “What!? You even brought your hp to take pictures!” Ahem. Bloggers, you know. *shake head at myself* But I wasn’t the only one snapping photos, everyone else was.

What was left hours after.
