Beware of Bimboness. On Saturday, i had one of those unplanned good days i will usually plan for which doesn't turn out right.You know like, Hey,meet you at 10...we'll shop at far east.we walk aimlessly for hours and end our day lamenting how we either bought nothing and should have gone to the beach instead or spent too much and grudgingly sip our 5 dollar starbucks coffee...just to top it of. Saturday was started innocent, Jeanette had asked me to go shopping.Sure...Sat morning, 1030am.I haven't gone shopping since Christmas, like real shopping...a whole day dedicated to time in shops and not those by the way shopping. So i was terribly focused. i listed what i needed to get. A scarf for my trip to HK...(which i found out will be terribly cold which i'm not happy about), a pair of shorts (to wear for supper, not too short cos that's indecent and not too long cos thats for boys), Sunnies (also for HK, just to look cool in) and a Bandana...(for the hair).

It is almost a month into the new year and any changes i had set out to do...has not been done!!! seeing how i'm part chinese, i take CNY as a second chance...so that means. i have 2 weeks to do something. By changes, i refer mostly job wise. bleah. i do feel like punching myself for not chasing the job i want...even though the opportunity was there...gawds. Which is causing me some major unforseen restlessness. ANYWAY, other than the job scene...i spent the whole week meeting up with great friends who've been most influential in my life at that point in time. There's Penny. She was my best friend in primary school, that's 14 years ago. She was in my class since primary one but we only spoke in primary four when our teacher made us partners when changing classes...also once i remember, during science class, the teacher asked, "give an example of something which uses a pulley?" most people would answer wheelbarrows or cranes typical science textbook answers, she ans... http://amesdistant.multiply.com/journal/item/38/Hello_there....

Me thinks...well this stinks.WHAT DO YOU DO WITH KIDS? So i decided to do what my mum and i used to do when i came home from school eons ago whenever it rained. And that was, to bake. Many life lessons were learnt during these sessions. my mother's kitchen is the ABSOLUTE best place to cook. it may not have any shiny, high standard cookware but it has an oven and everything and anything needed to bake at any given time.  <IMG class=alignmiddle height=203 src="http://images.amesdistant.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R1-j5goKCh8AAF1iDUQ1/chef.jpg?et=P5Cdo8zM1bUFsNzc%2CZS1bg&nmid=" width=248 border=0> The Chefs Here's my sous chef. look at the intesity! <IMG class=alignmiddle height=115 src="http://images.amesdistant.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R1-kjQoKCh8AAHc0FXA1/learning.jpg?et=TR0oXYXD2F4SE9HI3LHjCg&nmid=" width=291 border=0> "Learning is fun...when there's food involved" ~ Ames <IMG class=alignmiddle src="http://images.amesdistant.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R1-rlQoKCh8AAHqakdA1/greedy.jpg?et=3GGO0Zkl32h1QLZSWfChkQ&nmid=" border=0> Look who couldn't wait!  So right, when you cook with kids, this is the scene Nicky:i wanna do!

We all have things that make us look down and smile to yourself, too shy to show the world we're happy over something so small.

Pompous spoilt brat huh? So right, i begged, borrowed, fluttered my eyelashes, smiled my sweetest smile, and stole some invites to THE CLICK 5 exclusive invite only showcase at MOS. See what i mean? i don't even like music that much, but recently i got hooked on Jenny. the next thing i knew, the band was in Singapore, the next thing i knew, i see them live twice in a week. Sweet. Too bad i didn't get to see them at work seeing how they were in my office building like 4 times this week, and my colleague was like, "oh, they're just walking by my door like just." i did get to see their Transport though and had half a mind to stay back at work to catch a glimpse.

Then, Debbs messages me..."Eh wanna go for Black Eyed Peas tomorrow?" At that moment, i was bored. I was on my comfy couch, looking aimlessly at the blank tv screen because the remote was too far from reach. Debbs adds, "Click 5 is opening act." And that's when i just said "OK LET'S GO!" like 127 dollars is something i'll have just lying around. Debbs messages back.."OK TICKETS BOUGHT!" OMG!!!!! what did i just do??????? "Paaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! my birthday is coming and i know the perfect present" So our boring movie date got a bumper upgrade to a kick ass rock concert!  Oh the spontaneity of it all. So after that was settled, i was extremely EXCITED can!!! i told EVERYONE i was going to watch the Black Eyed Peas but seriously, who cares about them? they already have their fans..127 bucks for 30 mins of CLICK 5 man...i think i'... http://amesdistant.multiply.com/journal/item/34/My_First_Kick_Ass_Concert Tue, 23 Oct 2007 17:01:16 -0000 My Piano The Piano really is quite a wonderful instrument. Every now and again when there’s nothing to do, I sit at MY piano and play out my tunes, I say my because I take pride that I am the only one in my immediate family who can play the piano so it’s the only thing in my home that I can call my own and need not share. No doubt, I don’t play it well and I don’t like playing the piano for people.   I have been playing the piano since I was 4 years of age, I got started because my cousin who was 6 was performing for the entire family during one of our family gatherings and everyone was ignoring my jokes and singing acts to my utter disappointment and I was jealous so I told my mother, I want to play the piano. My cousin has since got a Masters in Music while I gave up at Grade 5 but that’s another issue altogether.   At the beginning I enjoyed my piano lessons, while my classmates had to content with just singing twinkle twinkle little star and mary had a little lamb, I could play it... http://amesdistant.multiply.com/journal/item/33/My_Piano Fri, 19 Oct 2007 03:52:54 -0000 Teeth My sister is showing her recently extracted bloody rotten molar to everyone. its disgusting. i wish i had one to show off too. http://amesdistant.multiply.com/journal/item/32/Teeth Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:48:30 -0000 Monkeying Around <A href="http://amesdistant.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/RxIJ3AoKCh8AAE@@v6w1"> <IMG class=alignmiddle src="http://images.amesdistant.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RxIJ3AoKCh8AAE@@v6w1/hanging%20out.jpg?et=Lsez0c8m7doUHsw0TQicoQ" border=0>   This is what we do when we're hanging out downstairs waiting for our ride to come.

(She had to do this stall so her kid can get a space in the atas Maris Stella Kindergarten) My answer was a constant, "No". Let me give you an insight on incessant the torture. I wake up, the sis says "Ames help me at my stall". I sit down at dinner, the sis says "Ames help me at my stall". I come home from work, the sis says "Ames help me at my stall". I lay down to sleep, the sis says "Ames help me at my stall". A week, this is what i had to endure.

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 15:06:13 -0000 Sisterhood So like a few weeks ago, on a Friday night, I had made plans with my sisters to go club. But foreseeing a night of boredom, partying with a bunch of married albeit hot women, I cancelled on them and went out with friends to club instead. In other words stood them up.   My sisters, at the last minute, scrapped their plans and went midnight shopping, bought many many things followed by a bitching supper session at Swensens (STICKY CHEWY CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!only like the best icecream in the world) after. Of course I did not know about the change of plans because they had a “lets not tell stupid amy who stands us up for her friends” pact.   The next day, I heard about this and kicked myself for standing them up for my friends were fun but not the same kind that comes from shopping (which I prefer) and continued to sit in silence while they reconciled the fun events of the night.   So these days the conversations go like this   Eldest Sis : “ Let’s go out Friday Jeanett... http://amesdistant.multiply.com/journal/item/26/Sisterhood Fri, 7 Sep 2007 09:16:58 -0000 Copying and Pasting Song Lyrics is damn Loser Fark man. I love this song and Grey's Anatomy Rules All.

Lest he wants his beloved precious drown. So yesterday at 6pm, I asked my papa to come fetch but he looks out and doesn’t see a drop of rain just grey skies. “It’s not raining, you are totally capable of coming home yourself, I’m going to sleep. Hurry come home, there’s food on the table.” Bleah…so drag drag drag all the way to the bus stop, hopped on to the bus, got down to walk to the second bus stop and BOOM.
