It’s a long weekend. Woohoo, I love long weekend. This weekend the gals are not free to date me so I had to keep myself occupied to ensure that boredom does not creeps in secretly.
So for a kick start on the Saturday, I visited Uncle Steve Seah. Let him check the eyes and also did a refraction test too. My eye sight has suddenly take a change as how I was complaining from the start of last week that I am not seeing as clearly as I used to in the operated eye. So uncle Seah did tests to ensure that things are in place. But I am still not truly convinced that they are perfecting normal. Well, what can I say? Listen to his advises and try to keep my sight to the best loh. When the condition stabilizes, I shall equip myself with a new look. :P new glasses.. this faithful pair has been with me for donkey years, I think easily close to a decade already, myopic peeps out there must be shocked to hear me. What? 8 9 years never change glasses? Nothing fanciful, especially when you have this plenty problems in the eyes like me. And to ditch this pair for a new one? Oh no, he has helped me seens so much of the world, I will not ditch you 1 buddy. Did I mentioned his the longest lasting pair? I used to always visit optometrists and they would always break the “legs” of my old glasses and I would always have to go home to ask for money to fix a new pair from mummy. Come to think, these must be some dirty tricks those smelly optometrists does to a teen to boost their sales. Bad business people! *shake head* well. I don’t patronize them now.
New prescription. I am 275 myopia with 350 astigmatism on the right, 1000 myopia with 50 astigmatism on the left. HUH! How to walk right? How to sustain normal activities right? I will prolly walk into the longkang or mistaken “lao gao” as “yan dao” right? No wonder of late, I have always been claiming boy X or Y very yan dao. Must be these eyes of mine. *chuckle*. Then again, I had always had weird taste, boys that others gal claim average, I would claim as can do. I think I am less demanding in this aspect.. sigh, can this be a conformance in the boys world as well? Can boys be less picky as well?
Okie, enuff of rattling. Back to my Saturday. After visiting Steve, I walked down to taka to visit ginseng godma. Had a good talk with her before leaving her to get busy with her customers. Did not even get chance to say bye bye. She was simply too occupied with customers 1 after another. Which is good for the sales people. The taka store was taken over by another organic food store. I took a stroll in the store, to check out what was in store, ready to eat confectionary, milk, soups, dressings, tea – all organic. Pretty pricey as well. I observed the flow from outside, same location, different commodities but the flow is so much better for them. I conclude, commodities is such important factor to consider if one shall venture into business? Never open a goldsmith shop in Ethiopia where the poor kids cannot even afford proper clothings and food, least to mention your gold.
After visiting godma, I went down to PS to shop since it was long time since I’ve been there. Plenty of sales going on in many fashion boutiques as it was a long holiday. These retailers are so smart to try to make a sum knowing that more crowds would be expected when it’s a long weekend and more would come out to shop.
I also contributed to the ecomonics :p
Bought my very 1st Dorothy Perkins top. Sales item, but basic top which I can use everyday in office. 1 colour that I seldom use also, dark green. Sigh, with this new job, dress code is an issue everyday. Waking up to decide what you want to use for office for the day is a chore. Where were the good ol’ uniform days? :p
Had late late lunch after shopping. Headed home aftrwhich.
Picked up some vcds from the rental before I came home. This is plans to keep myself occupied on the Sunday.
Just finished watching “天生一对”
Since the “夏日抹抹茶” I’ve been very much in love with him and I try to not miss out his every romance show. So needless to say 小齐 you have once not failed to induce happiness in me oh. But I kinda feel this 戏份 this time is way too little. More of 杨千华 appearance. If you have watched the show you would know Richie 饰演的角色. In real life, if Mr. Right was very much like him, then this would be ideal. I like Richie character in this show. Very much my 理想情人的合格标准. 
Oh dream on again, if lesser of what sh*t I am fixed in occurs, I should 杀鸡拜佛 already, still expecting 理想情人. Dream more… okie, let’s just put this simple. All I want in a relation is the simple 1 + 1. One man one woman monopoly game. Nothing more, nothing fanciful. The add on like 2 rings, 1 banquet, 1 flat, 1 baby can come later. Let me fulfil my 1 man 1 woman dream 1st.
So, eligible man out there. You know what fulfils eligible criteria. Pls apply now.
Out for dinner and “Just like Heaven” later..
Oh, 1 more thing. SCV arriving tomorrow morning.. Yeah.. 恶魔 coming in 2 weeks time. It better be good time slots and more entertainment on tv. Simply nice. So for now, more reasons to stay home.
Out and have a good week folks. Luv ya all~

i think i am really not a techy geeky gal like many of the pals around me are.. ahemm hui mei mei hor? :P
okie. recently i am sick of the LG i am using (as ahboi says LG LG laoya gadget lah). Indeed I am starting to feel its alittle laoya liao cos the ringtone is way too soft my granny would prolly not hear the phone ring if she uses the phone. Least to mention oldie grannies, young vibrant gals like me also have hard time if the phone was not like 10cm near you.
so today after work, I went to T mall and combed the 3 big telco players to see what's instore. Recently I am very much affected by Rain/Pantech. So much so I wish I own a Pantech too, so that I can be as hip as him :P. Owing a Pantech may make me feel better when I talk on the phone too, cos it would constantly reminds you of the sunnyboy, Rain. eh eh wait, sunny & rain contradicts. What should I name him leh? Rainyboy? :)
Okie. Back to hp shopping, there are so many selections in the market now. Plenty 3G, PDA, value phones, mega pixel phones. Too much a choice. Frankly I am never too specific with gadgets. For a hp, so long as it can ring, can vibrate, have a good resolution screen, good keypad I am very contented. Things like polyphonic, mp3 ringtones, mega pixel camera, video recording, games etc are really perks. And frankly all these add ones are $ costing. I am practical, if I can top some money or sign a contract for a relatively good phone I can giggle liao. I have never owned a mp3 ringtone phone yet. So the next one I would ideally like it to be mp3 toned.
Oh, when I was at the red umbrella telco, I saw this phone. Looking at the date of the news, you can tell how backdated I am. This phone was launched Nov 2005, gulp~ almost half a year, till date then I've spotted it. Cute housing, cute wallpaper & cute navigation buttons yeah? Presenting:
Cutey Micky Mouse M900
Limited singapore edition some more woh. I didn't see this on display thou.
Cute yeah? Definately a hottie in HongKong I am sure.
The damage? $350 with 2 yrs red umbrella contract. Then again in name of kawaii-ness and not sure what's the features & functions like. It's a costly investment to me. With $350 can easily get a good NoNo Brand hp features packed. But nontheless I am still very attracted by it's kawaii-ness. The limted SG version colour is better as compared to the rest. Hmm uncle fortune? can you pls inspire me with golden 4 numbers when i wake up on saturday morning and give me a small windfall? Just enough to cover my $800 bkk trip and surplus for a good ring-ring tool can liao :P *pray pray*
Wake UP~ work harder missy karen and earn the bucks lah..
talking about 4Ds, let me bring you back to 20th March 2006. Remember the 4 nice digits lobang number I gave? 1,8, 3,7? It came out a few times in the subsequent weeks. Nothing for me, cos I've never bought this set of numbers. Never have luck with fortunes like this. It's pre-destinated in me that I have to slog for money. So, needless to dream. Back to reality.
Need to go off now, to take a break, shower & sleep early.
Past nites has been atrocious.
Staying up late to read kennysia, surfing and all those you can name. Off th bed early today. The visions has been blur the whole of today, the operated eye has been giving trouble since start of the week, review with ah seah this sat. I hope they are good.
Tunes: Rain Pantech / Shou Ji
Repeat listening gives you a nice humming catchy tune in the brain. For a korean, he sings pretty well in Mandarin, better then the Ennglish which I was introduced once. :) Out~

my sincere apologies to all the avid readers (as they claim =p) out there for the lack of updates lately. well some may know by now the reasons behind it but it's really due to the work schedules, the going out more frequently and mainly the lack of time. We are talking about not getting enough sleep and also intensive work load. I hear alot of boo-ing by now. :)
okie so what's happening to me in life now?
frankly i do not know where to pen down from as well.
let stay from where i left off the last time.
holiday planned. bkk here i come on the 26th may. it's a 5 days getaway. very excited to be able to see the country again after so long. very happy i am getting to go away with a close friend fennie and that we can spend some quality time shopping a few pounds away, eating them back with good food again :P. i hear jeering again cos some of the gals out there must be thinking, serious bo, karen jie jie not truthful in her entries leh. the truth is as much as i am enjoying the pampering i am getting now, i am also very much mentally weighed down with the consequences from the indulgence i am exposing myself too.
details? nah the closer ones would know so i should not repeat.
ah eve mei mei told me the other day the gals are very worried over me. as much as you gals are, i am also very much worried of my actions as well. but for some silly reasons i am safe keeping, i am reacting in this manner. maybe "人家求婚，我就头昏" leh? cept people never 求婚, i'm very 头昏 already. ah eng says 5 yrs of not dating is getting me into very serious shit now. that's why i am so over-responding to what i'm provided with. but i console myself by telling myself that i am merely getting my fair share of attention while i devote my portion of companionship to the other party.
i was reading kennysia the other day when one of his short talks says this : "Lately, a lot of my pals are experiencing relationship woes. Whatever happened to good ol'-fashioned boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy marries girl? Nowadays everything becomes complicated with affairs, pregnancy, lies and deceit. I just felt helpless when I wasn't able to help them out of their unenviable predicament" i totally agrees with what he says. i am feeling as helpless for myself when i am stuck in a situation whereby i do not get the good ol'-fashioned boy meets girl, fall in love and get married. i asked myself, i used to be a player in my previous relationship which resulted in me getting nothing out of it after putting in years. aint that enuff for a lesson learnt already. and when this one sets in so quickly i was very ready to commit and devote. i guess i am too quick this time and not checking water out carefully before i swam. sharks i may meet, bitten i may get, wounded i may result but i am already out swimming liao. 2 options i can either sink and die or swim back on-shore asap. i'm choosing to stay in water to observe the sea awhile more before i plan to come or not come back on-shore. dangerous yeah, sharks may come yeah. but no pain no gain. then again, it all revolves the silly commitment. sometimes i am weary. karen karen why are you putting urself into such fix? sometimes i console again. if this is such tides you know you are getting, then swim along with it. dont let the tides hit you and drown. swim harder, come back on shores fast. but as much as i can tell myself swim back, the tides are pulling me further out.
okie enuff of rattling of the unknown truth. its another growing stories i put inside my scrapes for the children i get in future. know a person well before acting. 头昏是不好的现象。理智一点。万事都要三思而后行。知道了吗小朋友们？
========================================
post note: as i was re-reading my entry, this strikes my mind, it's karma i think i am striked with. as a player before i've wounded some1 elses and resulted hurt in him. but then again i told myself i've got "punished" to stay love-less for 5 yrs, and he has got himself a nice wife to settle down with and start a family. do i still deserve such treatments? 是我不慧眼实英雄吗? or what went around is coming around me this time round? if this is karma and i'm out to be played this time, i resolve it to fate. period, out, weary.

READ: I"M HYPERED!!!
Chanced upon knowing that the gals are visiting BKK in late May over shopping last saturday & that was enough to adrenaline me for the next 36 hrs.
Still very much excited over the sudden news :P. actually i already had plans to go away for a break and it was so coincidental that ah eng & gang suggested a 2days KL weekend hike which i gave verbal que to go ahead with almost immediately liao.
but when news from "land of smiles" came i was even more concrete.. sorry kl i think i have to miss u this time round. sorry ah hui, eng & eve. given words liao but now i have to change my mind.
land of smiles despite being in state of commotion with the election going on, siam square shopping malls not operating, mama nagging saying its to dangerous to visit aint stopping me anywhere with plans making.. i feel so vibed up now with tom yum goong running in my bloodstream now.
it's been 5 yrs since 2001 i've revisited the place and i am so badly wanting to. this time round, must make plans fall thru.
Pending: -
1. clearance from uncle steve seah's confirmation that air flights are okie for post op babe at 3 months lapse.
2. air tickets purchase: have got quotes already. the super cheapo me is flying in tigers and back airasia in order to get the best rates & best timing. monitoring to hopefully have even better deals. current: $148++ for 2 ways.
3. hotels: too many choices especially when on budget constraints. looking at S$50 per nites hotels. have a few in minds liao. deciding when air flights are booked. cannot compromise too much on hygience and comfort thou, despite the $ & cents issues hovers. me being freaky me...
4. leave approval. bossy, may i? 2 days only.
most impt is dr seah's approval, if ah seah says no no.. atmospheric pressure difference can cause side effect on yr eyes then i can ask ah steve go fly kites liao. cause he would had literally wet blanket my 48hrs vibe... giving him a call next morning immediately his clinic open... :P (read: cannot wait ah)!
sometimes simple little things like this in life can really make a person happy.
i feel good, cause its really helping me unwind the tension from work of late.
updates of the weekend:
1. visited ah seah, eye is in perfect recovery mode.
2. lunch with ah eng in taka - tonkichi jap restaurant. heavy pork chop rice meal washed down with plentyly nice green tea. very filing a meal...
3. updates on ah eng's taipei trip.
4. visit to ginseng godma and updating her of our lives. she keeps asking me to come with another partner on my next visit everytime. but i had always been doing so mah.. AH ENG visits her with me wah! :p
4. met fennie and T for tea.
5. upcoming travelling plans.
6. plenty of sleep. very reguvernated now.
side note: fennie is trying to "chunk" me with an ex-colig whom i've knew some times back.
T: help me get a gf lah (based on what fennie says)
F: my perfect gal for u on mind now is karen
Me: in town with ah eng, phone rings.
F: where are you now?
M: in town.
F: good let's meet up for coffee. i am with T.
M: okie see you in 30mins in paragon.
F: (over tea) T asked me to look for gf for him.
M: now i know why my phone rang.
In the nite:
F: (over the phone with me) T asked, "what happens when 2 noisy people gets together?"
F: then either one of you would have to give in and be a listener.
M: GULPPP!! what was T thinking?!!!???!!!!!! (choked on saliva)
F: (sells bf mode on and went rattling for minutes).
M: listen tentively.
F: *BURST* KAREN!!!: you are always like this. i am the tensed up one worrying over details when you are always so cool when i tell u things of such.
M: somethings are best not hurried, if it would fall in place it would.
F: Urrgghhhhh.
M: *laugh*
All i can say is: *grin* i think i am ready to do all the lovey dovey mushy things all over again with the right guy now. so it's a matter of getting the right guy into the picture.
over & out and to the showers for a cold wash down then bed.
i have battle of the paperwork to fight tomorrow. its the sequel of the friday battle.
