PMS Sorrow

I'm in serious need of a pick-me-up. I'm basically teetering over the edge of my good and well kept patience. The stress of smiling through everything when all I want to do is bite someone's head off is tiring me out. So I think I'll just list out all the stuff that annoyed me through out this morning.

1- On top of having a bad knee I nearly twisted my ankle.

2- I nearly tripped over a fallen brunch. I mean for goodness sake, I well avoided all the puddles but I didn't see a freakin' three feet long fallen brunch.

3- I nagged. I loathe nagging. It's a waste of my energy. But I ended up nagging and I'm upset with myself over that.

4- My foot is having pins and needles as we speak and I just want to bang it against the desk.

5- I just want to sleeep, instead I'm stuck at work.

....... I'm sure there's more but I can't actually think of anything right now ..... so anyway I'm just gonna post one of my new favourite comic strips

Ok, now I'm just gonna go and drown my PMS sorrow in Slipknot

Fire!

This morning around 6 I get this sms from my friend, saying "Hot News! Our house nearly burnt"
I read it through with one eye still shut and went right back to sleep. My friend really does have tendecy to exaggerate sometimes. Besides she sounded excited rather than alarmed.

So after finally getting up around seven, I stopped by her place on the way to work. What I saw astounded me. Right in front of her house were this huge pile of ashes that used to be four motorcycles. The outside wall were blackened with soot. After shutting my mouth I went inside to find my friend.

Turned out someone set fire to those motorcycles (they belonged to a neighbor of theirs), the fire then in turn spread over to the outer wall of the house and nearly blocked the entrance. My friend told me that she and her family were trapped inside and had no way of getting out of the house. I knew the house well and she was right. The only exit is through the front door, there were no other doors or windows. She later told me her younger bro had run out with bucket of water and had tried to put out the fire by himself. According to her non of the neighbors had tried to help. She said they all just stood around gaping.

Thankfully at least no one was hurt in the incident.

Polygamy for the selfish man

This is an interesting little article I ran across this morning...

Women should accept polygamy, Malaysian lawmaker says

KUALA LUMPUR, May 23, 2008 - A Malaysian lawmaker told parliament that there would be fewer marital problems and a lower divorce rate if Muslim women were taught to accept polygamy, news reports said Friday.

Ibrahim Ali, an independent parliamentarian, proposed moves to address the issue in response to complaints that women were always blamed for marital issues.

"Such problems happen because women cannot accept polygamy. From a preventive point of view, what about doing a big campaign so that women can accept polygamy?" Ibrahim was quoted saying in the Star daily.

The ethnic Malay Muslim lawmaker said women who are pregnant or who have "problems" when they hit their fifties do not understand that men still want to "have fun".

Fuziah Salleh, an opposition lawmaker, had earlier questioned the qualifications of Islamic sharia court counsellors as she had received complaints from women that they were forced to take the blame for most marital problems.

"They are not counselled but given 'advice'. And every time, they are told that the woman is to be blamed. If it is a family problem, they must be patient. If they are beaten up, they must also be patient," she said.

Muslim men in Malaysia are allowed up to four wives. Activists and women's groups say polygamy is cruel and has deviated from its original purpose in Islam, which was to protect widows and orphans.

Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, where more than 60 percent of its 27 million people are Muslim Malays. Polygamy is illegal for non-Muslims. - AFP

Welll.....Not only are they saying that men has every right to marry any number of women they'd like, NOW they are saying that we should be TAUGHT to accept polygamy. What does this guy think women are?! Brainless idiots??!! Counting from personal experience, it was polygamy itself that had ruined my parents marriage, not to mention several other people's. Guys like these are nothing but selfish perverts.

Gummy and the aww factor

Aaah the weekend has arrived. Only 5 more days till payday. I just need to hang on to my coins and living off my mom for just 5 more days. I would need to buy a vacumme cleaner, a new bedsheet and a birthday gift for my friend (her birthday was in April).

Gummy blooper of the week: My cat was in one of her crazies this morning, playing a mean game with my mom on this double bunk bed in our house. My mom was cleaning the top bunk when Gummy decided to 'lend a help'. All I heard was my mom cursing and the sound of Gummy running around in excitement. Next thing I know poor Gummy was hanging off the top bunk by the tips of her front claws, meowing pitifully. My mom was laughing her ass off (sorry mom) but it was ridiculously funny. Finally I went over grabbed her heavier lower side and helped her up. Seriously Gummy you should really lay off the kitty biscuits a little, your kitty ass is too fat now.

I saw the sweetest thing on tv last night. Jay Leno's interview with a couple who's been married for 75 freaking years. Now before you go sticking your fingers down your throat, I suggest you watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtGaMJ7ma9E

Doesn't that just twist the 'awww' factor all the way up. :D

Anyway I'm off to enjoy the weekend.

Yuppies and coffee shops alongside dreams

It's been a while since I've hung out with some of my friends. We normally hang out at some coffee shop (yes i believe the term would be 'yuppies'). But then nearly all of us are broke, there's hardly any of us could do except stay home and visit their homes. Visiting is hardly fun as the houses are normally crowded with other family members and we can't talk in private as we'd like.

And I saw 'Requiem for a Dream' last night. A beautiful sad movie. Been listening to the movie soundtrack all morning. It's sad how everyone just ends up being alone in the end. Either you leave someone you love or they leave you...

My First Blog

Alrighty letseeeeeeeee now....

When this year started I made two new resolutions (this is a first for me as i never made new year resolution before).

One was to exercise more. Which i did start in January itself (surprise surprise). I went jogging, everyday for two whole weeks before spraining BOTH my ankles. Then last month i started an aerobics class. (I'll explain all about that later)

The second resolution was to write more. Currently I'm going through this phase where I just don't feel like writing. Oh things are happening but I don't feel the need to share them. I've tried all sorts of methods. Keeping papers and pens in my purse so I can just whip them out wherever and whenever. Moving into my friend's apartment and staying in her guest room every weekend hoping the peace and quiet will prompt me (no luck there... I'm too busy having fun with my friend.)

I've even tried a no-talking experiment. For some reason i thought that if i talk less I'll write more. Unfortunately the timing was wrong, and for someone who hardly gets much social calls, that one hour when i decided to be quiet i get all sorts of calls.

.......wow well waddaya know I just wrote, 1, 2, 3 ....6 paraphraphs including this. :D Must give myself a good pat in the back.

And to sigh off I'll quote arnold swarzwhatisname "I'll be back!" (hopefully)
