These are a few of my NOT-SO-FAVOURITE- things!

after having been exposed to a few activities that i never got the chance to do so in the past, i have found dislike for them!and the best part?

THAT I ALWAYS THOUGHT I COULD DO THEM FOREVER.

according to FELster's international Dictionary, this phrase means:

"i always thought i could do them forever, rain or shine, with food, no food and at times i wished i was doing it instead of studying or working."

and yes, i WAS wrong.

and here goes the list of my NOT-SO-FAVOURITE things:

1) WASHING A CAR IS TIRING! i remember when i was young, i used to beg my dad to let me wash his car. but for wierd reasons, he wouldnt budge. even when i purposely changed into my crap clothes to get dirtied in, he would chase me home=( sounds sad rite.haha.and so since young, i always thought:"boy, i could wash cars foreever! they look so fun! can get all wet and soapy" i washed Jansens car with him, strange, it seemed fun at that time, maybe coz it was my first time as well. and yes, his car is abit, JUST ABIT LA. smaller=)

reason: i washed Jay's car today. not like i shampooed the car or splashed water all over it, coz i didnt get easy access to water at the carpark under my block. hence, i just brought a pail down and used a cloth to wipe the car clean. boy, it was BACK BREAKING!and mark my words. i felt worse than an 80 year old woman.I THINK.

2) WAXING A CAR TOTALLY SUCKS! i always saw how my dad wax and polish his car, i loved the smell of a freshly polished car. and now i have come to appreciate why i loved the smell!

reason: BECAUSE i did not lay a hand in polishing the car!i tried doing it after cleaning the car. and yes, another back breaking experience, and worse, i had to breathe in the "fragrance" of the polish. at first it smelt good. it brought back sweet memories of sitting in a freshly polished car. DISCLAIMER: I DID NOT HAVE TO LIFT A FINGER TO ENJOY THE AROMA OF THE POLISH. but somehow, after i polished the whole car, i felt like vomitting!it was too much. gosh. i really admire those people who run a car polish company! i wonder if one can get addicted to inhaling too much of the polish.haha. my arms felt like breaking off, i had to rub so hard!!!!!!and my left shoulder bore much brunt of that "exercise". i must have strained it while climbing last night.darn.

3) A car is FREAKING CONVENIENT.and yes, it is ONLY TO A CERTAIN EXTENT! besides being able to take shorter time to reach to your destination, one must bear in mind the following:

- no parking lot
- the dilemma of putting 50cent or more than 1 dollar coupon? want to save money, yet scared kena FINED! which i already experienced.
- petrol
- accidents on the road which cause jams, if that happens, the point of taking a shorter time to reach one place can become void.
-stupid birdshit! once it dries, very hard to remove.
-you drive with the fear of car breaking down, tyre puncture, even getting into an accident!
-gota wash and polish the car! (as mentioned above)
-send for monthy servicing. otherwise you can forget about the car serving you.


and i havent mentioned the high cost of a car in SINGAPORE!HAHAHA.

and yes, after all these have been mentioned, im beginning to wonder if i still like a car. it is convenient, you can just dump everything and drive around without having to worry about lugging it around. but yes, PROS and CONS. i guess it depends on how much "troubles" you dont mind that comes along with the possible benefits of a car.

and yes, you may wonder why i have been blogging so much about cars these few days. forgive me la. its my first time taking ownership of a car temporary and yes, still learning the ropes=)

FRIDAY is halfday!!!coz the Prison's counselling dept will be merging with the Psychology dept in July, and so this friday we will be having lunch together to mark the end of the "lonely" counselling dept. and yes, looking forward to it!FREE MA=) going to Cafe le Claire, the middle east restaurant which i patronised with the rockclimbing team last year!=) gona order the same food again. sue me.im boring. i like to go for my favourite food.

beginning to get ambivalent feelings about my attachment in prison. on one hand, i enjoy meeting inmates, counselling them and experiencing the joys of knowing you have played a part in their rehabiitation. and yet, i really dislike desk-bound activities. i have to file my observations, do case reports, etc. all in the office, with a computer which i have never trusted my life with. haha. and yes, do i really want such a career in future? will the intangible rewards of working with the inmates be more than the tangible burden that comes together with it? everyday i experience different feelings. some days, i hate goin to work. some days, i go home happy. because i had a good case. is this how my future career will look like?

i am fantasizing about opening up an ice cream cafe right now. i even drew up a proposal while conducting an interview with an inmate with my supervisor.OOPS. but it didnt affect me. i am seriously quite good at multi- tasking.haha.

each time i think of you
reminds me of our past
how we enjoyed each other's
company that we dont get now
what happened to this friendship?
was it meant to crumble?
or so i mumble
silently to my heart
now shipwrecked

tell me please
i want it all to cease
a silent war in my heart
was it on my part
that today came now
it aint a wow
perhaps
just perhaps.

Felicia's series of unfortunate events.

gosh.my week has never been worse!!!!

firstly, ever since i got the car from Jay, i managed to "collect" a mounting debt of $80 worth of parking fines!one for failure to have a season parking pass at my own house, 2 for parking past my coupons!

$80 bucks according to jansen could get me a new dress!=(

and yes, had a little adventure with the car that got me forking out $420 to somebody else's pocket.and an additional of $120 for him to enjoy ease of transport while his original mode of transport underwent cosmetic surgery. STUPID VAIN CAR.

and today, i went for a "joyride" around the east side. was supposed to go back to changi prison for work aft the seminar in school. went to harbourfront first to get my camera repaired coz last night, my nalgene water bottle decided to drown my handphone and camera in my handbag.thankfully, the hp survived. my canon didnt do too well. the camera wouldnt budge and i thought it was officially dead. so after sch, i rushed down to harbourfront, walked across 3 harbourfront towers because i stupidly parked in vivocity. went all the way there to let the service girl put her own battery in to see it being switched on!viola!!!my camera WAS WORKING. and so i had to make haste in goin back to my car because i was almost late for work alr.

drove thru ECP,KPE PIE and the lunch i had made me sleepy, so sleepy till i missed the upper changi road exit and went on to changi airport. i panicked and turned into ECP (CITY) and realised it was one crap long ride to the nearest exit which i was familiar with. BEDOK.and yes, i thought i was familiar with Bedok. turns out i was wrong. because i followed the wrong PIE sign, it was to Tuas. so i went one big round around Bedok. all this time, the merciless afternoon sun was beating down on my arms. i finally found the upper changi road exit and happily turned into it. and i realised i entered the wrong PIE again!this time, it was for real to changi airport. drove one big round around terminal 2, wanted to drop by and say hi to regina.haha.but no time. left for PIE again. this time i was finally right!gosh. i must have travelled for over 40 km since i left vivocity!

and guess what. i was not only extremely tired from entering and exiting wrong expressways i also had to wait to go into the prison complex. because some smart guy thought "hey, now is a good time to do construction work" and drove 1 mega long lorry into a 1 way entrance to the prison carpark.i was stranded outside, couldnt enter for that time being. i waited patiently for 15 mins, and my hand made its way to the horn when the lorry started to unload. i was a little angry by this time because i was already very late. and tired. i horned loud enough for some guy to tell me to wait 5 mins AGAIN. and so i did. and when the lorry moved like an inch away?i managed to squeeze through. and got myself a parking lot right under the beautiful HOT sun!

and yes, i am in my office right now.no, i am in some computer room where this is the only place i can get internet access. phew.

i need a breather. pls.help.

a car may be convenient, but it certainly puts on a whole lot of different problems that you would get with taking public transport. parking tickets.ERP,petrol,car wash,etc.gosh.hard lesson learnt, coz i found myself broke when the month of june has just started.

though i dont think my week cannot get any worser, i am still thankful i managed to survive. Thank You Lord, for giving me the strength to go through all this.

my muay thai comp is postponed to 27 june which means it wont clash with Rockmaster. then again, im probably not taking part in Rockmaster coz my pully injury aint quite healed yet.sobs.
