Spring Cleaning!!

More like pre-summer cleaning, actually.

Dar and I decided to clear out my room cos there's too much stuff lying hidden in the drawers that I had stored when we shifted to Pasir Ris about 2 years ago.

Thrashed about 1238523 kg of old books and miscellaneous stuff.

Cleaned out the air-conditioner, credits to dar for dismantling it. My room freezes me at night now. Bbrrrrr (imagine the words shivering.) I have to wrap myself up in the blanket when I wake up in the morning just to warm up a bit. Cost me $6.30 to do that this morning.

Because I took a cab to work lah.

I woke up at 7.45am actually, with an urgent need to pee and when I came back from the toilet, I felt the need to warm my body up with my (quite useless) thermal blanket and promptly fell asleep. Woke up only at 8.30am and took almost 2340985676 seconds to brush my teeth. That's a whole lotta time okay! That's about 74 years, I calculated. Don't tell me you're so bo liao to go and verify it, please.

Oh ya. I wanted to tell why I took about 74.23 years to brush my teeth. It fucking hurt so much, I tell you, that if I had screamed in pain, the authorities might have mistaken it to be an earthquake measuring 9.5 on the Richter scale, man.

That's because I'm having a gum infection due to my wisdom tooth.

My gums on the left were swollen and I couldn't even open my mouth enough to take a bite out of my favourite peanut butter sandwich yesterday morning. I took almost 14.2365 days to finish my fish soup with rice. Wa lao, can it get any worse?

I'm going to get them removed once and for all but I'm so afraid of the anaesthetic injection the dentist will have to give me. I've heard from experienced people that the injection hurts like hell.

BAH.

Me is poor thing. Even my colleagues can tell that my left cheek is a little swollen.

To hell with injections. I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed. I hope the dentist doesn't remove my wisdom along with my teeth. Hur hur hur. Lame joke. Hahahaha!!



I think Dar and I have a relationship that I have dreamed of for a long, long time.

We talk about everything under the sun, honest and open with our differing opinions and beliefs. No holds barred, no secrets. Transparency. Like ghost liddat, you know?

We do everything together, even if one of us is not really interested in that activity, eg, sit and watch him play mahjong even if it is just one pok. I tell you, I get bored to tears man!! Tears because I keep yawning and my eyes keep tearing. But when he wins some money, we go for a small treat.

Like Friday night, I sat beside him and watched while he played one pok and when everything ended, he won $106 and we drove to McDonald's at 2am for chicken wings because I felt like having some. Yummy!

I think that's the reason why I developed the sore gums. Too heaty, he says.

I think I have digressed .. But I have something to write about, which I think I will forget about if I continue to write about the wonderful relationship I have with dar.

Gosh, I have already forgotten!!

Talk about being forgetful.

NKF Charity Show!

I cringe in resentment everytime I see/hear appeals for donations to the NKF Charity Show. Let's call it NKFCS for short. Sounds like National Kentucky Fried Chicken Society. Wahahhaa!

From pro-animal-welfare organisations:

"Call 1800-HELP-KFC to rescue chickens from being Kentuckied and fried to become finger lickin' good! Save the chickens! Chickens are friends, not food! *cue Finding Nemo, the part where the 3 sharks cry 'Fish are friends, not food!'*"

Erm. Damn bo liao, can?

I've digressed.

I'm not a heartless person.

I do feel sorry for people with kidney problems who cannot afford appropriate treatment because I have felt similar helplessness before when I couldn't afford treatment for myself.

No la, I do not have kidney problems or chronic diseases. But I have gone through the same cannot-afford-medical-treatment-but-need-the-treatment-urgently kind of scenario and DON'T ASK. I will kick you in the balls if you do. If you don't have balls, I will kick you in the butt.

So, back to the NKFCS.

I applaud the celebrities for their "live-threatening stunts" to raise money for NKF but please, can they stop doing so? It's quite traumatising actually, to see members of pop group Energy using their mouths to write the donation hotline on hand-stands. What if one of them loses his balance, and the marker pokes through his throat and dies? No more sleek dance moves and cool rapping performances from them liao! BOOHOOHOO!! And I'm a fan of their music too, to boot.

Actually I did not watch a single segment of the NKFCS until I went up to dar's aunt's house for a short while last night and managed to catch the segment featuring Energy.

What was it I wanted to talk about, actually?

Oh.

I simply loathe the advertisements to donate to NKF with chances to win cash, condo and car.

I mean, just what the fuck. You donate because you feel sorry and want to do something for a fellow human being. I know not everyone donates for a chance to win the prizes but I can bet 2 hands and 2 feet down that there are people who donate in the hope of winning something.

It just loses the meaning of a charity show.

I have stopped donating to NKF a long time ago because I am not sure where my money goes.

To the patients? Or to other donors who won something?

If I want to donate something, I wish that whatever I donate goes directly to the intended recipient, i.e. the patient, and not to the fund for prizes.

Even if the prizes are sponsored, can't the sponsors give the money directly to the fund for patients instead of paying for prizes which I feel those people totally do not deserve?

I mean, what have they done that calls for a reward, no matter how big or small it may be?

All these people have done is donate some money to other people who need the money more than they do.

If these people can afford to donate, it means that they *do* have some excess cash that is better spent on donations than on that expensive designer handbag or something.

You do something for charity out of kindness, not greed.

If NKF and their sponsors can spare millions of dollars for those prizes, why not reserve it for their patients? If MasterCard can afford to sponsor those $10,000 stored value MasterCards, why not give the cards to the most needy families who need the $10,000 more than the donors?

No logic.

I just think the whole NKFSC is a scam.

Anyway, to end this post on a lighter note, here's something I found for a good laugh. I almost lost my appendix to this one.

A guy decides to have a party where his guests are asked to come as different emotions e.g. fear etc. On the night of the party, the first guest arrives and the host opens the door to see a guy covered in green paint with the letters N and V painted on his chest.

He says to this guy, "Wow, great outfit, what emotion have you come as?" And the guy says, "I'm green with NV". The host replies, "Brilliant, come on in and have a drink.

A few minutes later the next guest arrives and the host opens the door to see a woman covered in a pink body stocking with a feather boa wrapped around her most intimate parts.

He says to this woman "Wow, great outfit, what emotion have you come as?" She replies, "I'm tickled pink". The host says, "I love it, come on in and join the party".

A couple of minutes later the doorbell goes for the third time, and the host opens the door to see two Irish blokes, Paddy and Mick, standing stark naked one with his nob in a bowl of custard, and the other with his nob stuck in a pear.

The host is really shocked and says, "Well, what the hell are you both doing? You could get arrested standing like that out there in the street. Anyhow what emotion is this supposed to be?!?!

Paddy replies, "Well, Oim fokn discustard, and Mick here has just come in despair."




Oh OH!! I just need to announce this here.. Wahahaha!

Few posts ago, I mentioned that I've gotten the Panasonic EB-X800 phone, and took part in the promotion on their website?

I got a call from a lady on Friday evening, telling me that I have one an X-changeable panel and I will receive it in a week.

I am going to receive the Zen panel in my mailbox by another 5 days!!

I was so happy that I stripped naked and danced on the streets before the police apprehended me for indecent exposure.

Ya, right.

Anyway, this is the Zen panel.



Agree with me, that it is uber pretty.

I'm so excited!!
