An Isolate At Work

frustrated.

for goodness sake, can you just stop slamming the door? stop slamming the dishes? stop venting your temper on everything and everyone at home?

for goodness sake, can you just stop complaining to me about her? asking me what's wrong with her? then give me the expression which says I should sympathize with you?

for goodness sake, can you guys stop getting angry over trivial stuff, like why the carrot cake is black instead of white? like why the dinner can't just be a simple fare, just fish and soup will do? like why the fish ball can't have meat inside of it?

for goodness sake, can adults be more mature and thinking? stop dragging me into all these shit, because i just don't want to be bothered at all. i have no time, no energy to be bothered at all. oh please, just spare me from all these, will ya?

my encounters with perverted men.

okay, it has been a very adventurous day for me today. "eye-opening" indeed. read on, and i'll tell you more. heh *evil grin*

okay before i talk about those sick encounters. let me give a pretext of how i came to encounter such situations. so today was the 1st day of shoot for this friend's short film. n i was helping out as a sound/camera assistant. and before i really begin. let me rant about my incompetency again. heh. well basically i was just supposed to record the sound and atmos with PD. and stupid me. forgot to record color bars, so in the end the first scene audio was screwed up. talk about professionalism. boo me! ok, so that was my screw-up.

the story begins here when we set off to geylang. was supposed to shoot the lead at this coffeeshop, looking through her bills. so when we first reached geylang, the people who "greeted" our sight were women dressed scantily, standing everywhere. well you know who they are, and what are they waiting for. suaku me thought that they would only start their business like late at night, so i took a look at my watch, huh!it's just 12 noon. omg! can these people be more desperate than that? and when we were at the coffeeshop, those uncles there just kept looking at us, wonder it's the camera that they're looking at, or us. but we were dressed decently, in fact i thought i look boyish, except for that long hair. so for a while i was thinking, maybe as long as you are female, everyone there will be interested, regardless of how you dress or look. total shit.

so we went to set up at this coffeeshop, and while waiting for the camera to be set up, this weird ass middle aged uncle, who should be around his 50s just suddenly striked a conversation with us.

Weird ass uncle: "Hello. excuse me huh. are your taking my pictures?

Our lead actress: "No la, we're just shifting the camera."

WAU: "Oh, if your take my pictures, then i die u know? if my mum sees this and knows that i'm here. and if my boss sees this, maybe when i go back to work on monday, i'll be sacked u know?!"

Siao. oh please. there are at least more than a hundred coffeeshops that look like this in singapore. who the hell knows this is geylang. and anyway u don't have this big signage on your head that says "GEYLANG". and besides that who ever says you cannot eat in geylang???

so Kai answered: "you mean eating in geylang is a crime meh? if you have a clear conscience, what are you scared of?"

WAU: "no, but i live near geylang, you see. if my mum sees this, how? i have a place of my own, she stays in another place." (WTH??!!^%&$#* u live near geylang, so??your mother doesn't live with you, so???totally no link at all man. SIAO LA!)

then he started to chat our lead actress up.

WAU: "Is this your first time in geylang? never seen you before here leh?"

..........................wah lao, total shit man this stupid weird ass man.

Kai (pissed off): "Please la. we're singaporeans leh. how can this be our first time here?! and geylang is so big lo."

then WAU decided to change his target now. i sensed it, and quickly lowered my head to look at the call sheet.

WAU: "hey, buy u a drink la."

Me:.............(not bothered, pretended not to hear him)

WAU: "eh...eh...buy u a drink la."

Me: (looked around, pretended not to hear him)

so that marks the end of this encounter with a weird ass uncle. stupid old man itching for a beating shit case. may his balls rot.

___________________________________________________________________

then we got to the other side of the road to shoot the scene. there was this old uncle who expressed his interest to join in the shoot, just act act and sit in front of the lead actress and drink kopi... he was quite ok, can see that he's sincere in just getting on screen. so yeah we're ok with that. then this middle aged man walked by and stood behind us, and i could hear him suggesting: "massage la, ask her to massage for him la.." HUH?! what the hell again? massage for what shit?!ok, so all of us pretended not to hear of him., and continued our shoot. afterwhich we quickly wrapped and went on to the next location.

___________________________________________________________________

fast forward to 2 hours later, after the wrap for the day. so me and kai went to park the van near timbre and walked our way to the mrt. we walked past this bushy area with some trees at the side. apparently kai said she already saw a guy who was like urinating there, but she pretended not to see. but i didn't notice that at all. so when i heard someone making noises, hissing at us, in instinctively turned around, trying to see what the shit was going on. AND OMG. to my horror, he was actually flinging his thing at us, and making some provocative gestures. I WAS LIKE SHOCKED. it made me jump, and i told kai panically: "eh. that's a what flasher leh!" Kai was quite cool about the thing, and said "orh." afterwhich we then burst out laughing.

Kai: (shouting loud enough for that flasher to hear) "so many toilets everywhere. must choose to do it under a tree!"

Me: Huh? disgusting leh. why must show this kind of thing at us???

TOTAL SICKO. PSYCHO. LOSER MAN. he looks fair and fat, and has quite a loser face. no, i don't think he's retarded or what. kai said he maybe one of those guys who always get bullied in school, a total loser. haha.

i don't get it at all. why are there such disgusting exhibitionists around?!fancy flaunting your thing around. as if people want to see meh?! and although i didn't see how big it was, i'm sure it certainly doesn't impress, if not i'll be like "wow". erm ok, that's wrong. i mean you get what i mean right. damn annoying, flash your stupid dick at girls, trying to make them cry or just to scare them, just to get some cheap thrill. if i was like a few years younger or alone, maybe i'll really be freaked out man. SICKENING!!!!hope his balls rot!!

thereafter, me and kai then tried to think of the many other ways that we should deal with disgusting flashers like him.

#1: Upon seeing him flash, do an instinctive 360 degrees slamming kick on his dick. right on target. make sure it drops dead. Dead bird. HAHA!

#2: Wah lao! Damn it. start to corner and give him a good bashing, to make him wake up to the idea man.

#3: Stand there and stone. "You mean that's it? i thought there was more. chey." then walks away nonchalantly.

#4: make a "so small" gesture at him. "so small also show people. loser."

#5: Burst out laughing. laugh till stomach pain, then start rolling on the floor, laughing and pointing at that thing simulataneously. hahahhahahhaha.

#6: (only applies to men, haha) Pretend to jump in shock first. then start flashing as well. yours should be enormous, in order to make him so ashamed of himself, that he should probably hang himself to death.

ARGH! this is such an unluckily adventurous day, a day when i see sick middle aged men who's got nothing to do, but to think of harrassing young innocent women. to hell with them, STUPID.

真奇怪。。。

有些人真的很奇怪。一直都嚷着自己一个人很寂寞,甚至寂寞地想死,觉得自己死了算了。
我也很寂寞啊,我的人生也很不尽人意啊,但是我怎么都不会想死?所以好讨厌那些轻易把死挂在嘴边的人,难道你不知道还有很多人想活下去的机会都没有吗?死亡就能够解决当前的问题吗?我一直都认为一个人的死不只是那一个人的事而已,那个人的死是会影响他周边所有的人的,纵然并不是每一个人都跟他很熟络。选择死亡是个懦弱的行为。选择死亡就是在选择在人生的道路上当逃兵。有什么问题,就应该勇敢去面对,只要还有一条命,我们都应该继续奋斗,为什么要让人生的一些不如意事迹操纵自己呢?

所以在这新的农历年,我们大家一定要更努力地活着啊!新的一年会更好!

“猪事大吉”!(:8)

no way...

no way that i'm going to care about this...

no way that i'm going to be bothered about this that i seem out of sorts...

no way that i'm going to feel sad because of this...

no way, this is not possible at all.

maybe it's just the loneliness that beckons. maybe it's just the company i'm trying to seek for.

am i a dog?

just got ranted at for not filling the hot water flask.

"U AGAIN! NEVER "TAKE CARE" OF THE WATER LEVEL IN THE HOT WATER FLASK?!"

what am i? a dog is it? am i supposed to stay home all day just to look at the things at all, making sure that everything is in place and the water's always filled?

YOU are the one who said that everyone should have the responsibility to take care of the things at home. then why am i obliged with such great responsibility all the time? everything is my fault? everything is my responsibility? what the f**k. i'm just damn pissed sometimes. who's the one who's always filled up the drinking bottle at home huh?! YOU GUYS NEVER NEVER fill it up?! did i even rant about it? DAMN!

of love and patience with myself...

attended this seminar/church session on relationships and love with one of my best buds, *nana* on saturday. i'm grateful for her invitation, though i was rather uncomfortable initially. but i guess it was really an eye-opening experience, 'cause I haven't been to church before. i must say that i was left stunned and lost when everyone started praying and singing the hymns loud. i mean what am i supposed to do? i could only just stand there and stare at the people around me, felt rather embarrassed to be exact. but fortunately, i did leave the place, taking away some valuable lessons learnt from the talk.

the pastor talked about relationships. talked about how we shouldn't just enter a relationship if we're not emotionally stable, and emotionally free. well, this kind of shed light on my decision to end the previous relationship, which sometimes seem as irrational or rash to myself. but i guess i don't regret this decision anymore, because i've seen the reason now. i've got lots of other things in life to care about, other emotional burdens that i have regarding family and so much more. in a way, i'm already too drained out to waste my time on other people.

and this whole seminar actually brought me to think further about my life and my unhappiness recently...maybe it's just the fact that i don't love myself at all, i've never shown favor or grace on myself, and this kind of degrades myself in front of others. others don't see the point in loving me well since i already don't cherish myself that well anyway. this is a really simple thing which i've long comprehended, but has yet to practise it on myself. so it's time to give some love and patience to myself. maybe this will mean the better for myself. :)

those were the days...

saw this guy who was from my jc at canteen a today.

a pleasant surprise indeed for me.
haha, cause i used to have a crush on him. i was his secret admirer.

suddenly reminded me of those jc days, when i used to take bus 854 to school, and would pass by his bus stop every morning. i would pray and wish that he got up the bus every morning. it's my little motivation for that really arduous and long bus journey. but my wish was never fulfilled for most mornings, or rather even if he got up the bus, i would be sleeping soundly, with saliva drooling down my mouth, totally unglam. hai...i would only realize he was on the same bus as me, when i saw his bright red swiss army bag in front of me at the interchange. come to think of it, it was so silly. haha...

and on days when i was able to stay awake for the bus journey, and he really did get up the bus, I would pretend to not bother about him anyway. my behaviour was so untelling. he would never have known that this straight-faced girl actually had something for him. wahaha...he wouldn't be bothered anyway. he wouldn't have realized my presence anyway. i never got to know him personally throughout those 2 years. could only gaze at him from afar, knowing that he got attached with this girl from his class and ......

Those were the days....it's already been 4 years since jc. so many things had happened. an unexplainable nostalgic feeling just overwhelms me today. 4 years. he's been through ns and probably more. and i've been through a sucky relationship and more changes in my life.

We've all grown up, or kind of changed in terms of so many aspects.
However after all these, we still remain as strangers, oblivious to each other's presence. moving on with our own lives. memories...

i love irritating my parents...

had this conversation with my mum last night.

it was at 2 plus am, after we got home from the chinese new year shopping at chinatown.

i was really hungry, and had wanted to cook some noodles.

Me: mummy...要吃面吗?

Mum: 不要啦。这么迟了。吃面包就好啦。

Me: huh...ok loooo (reluctantly)
watches mum toast the bread, then proceeds to take 1 egg out from the fridge.

Me: then...煎鸡蛋可以吗?

Mum: aiyo...这么晚了,还要吃鸡蛋。不要啦,吃面包就好。

Me: unwillingly ate the bread and retired after a very unsatisfying supper.

The next day, Mummy was cooking noodles when I reached home.

Mummy: 我煮面了,要不要吃?

Me: 不要,我今天不饿。

Mummy: 你hor...真的是反对党。昨天就一直烦我,现在煮给你就不要。

Haha...this suddenly reminded me of something that my dad told me before a couple of years back.

Papa: 你这个瓜,,为什么每次喜欢跟papa 唱反调。

ok, so maybe i'm really an irritant to my parents. but i seem to enjoy this....haha:p
