- consumers will begin to feel more of the effects of the downturn in the middle and end of the year...
- retail stores need help fast for rents etc cos if consumption decreases significantly, other sectors like f&b, media and advertising will be affected too.

Agenda for next week: Thy shalt live on Desperate Housewives alone
Agenda for now: Thy shall not perform miracles for no reason
Thought for now: I think I throw money around too blatantly
want to watch october road now. but at the moment, it is on pause cos i wanna blog first before i forget about what i want to blog about.
number one on the list, my new toner smells of vodka. random fact.
and then number two, the most important. (:
i just came back not too long ago from a Macdonald fest with daddy del and vicente. SUPER FUN. and one vital thing i've learnt.
SUDDENLY I LIKE FILLET O FISH BURGER.
first time eating. i always thought it was a lame burger. but today i decided to get it. cos it looks lame. hahaha. cos the main reason we went there was to eat the FRIES. so i just got a lame burger.
WE BOUGHT LOTS OF FRIES.
and i love family time like that. super fun.
bought and bought and bought.
WHO WANTS TO GO FRIES FEST WITH ME???? :D
then dad even bought fries to cook at home. yes i love my dad.
and another thing.
thank you russell for being so concerned about me. (:
and lastly,
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THANA TOMORROW!!! yes i'll scream it from the mountain tops. that boy is adorable.

you stop me from doing the best i can, that is perfection.
Labels: switchfoot fallacy
title: three cheers for wasted effort
date:
apparently the saying goes, "you win some, you lose some." fair enough. but in my life, i like to think it's rather more like "you win most, you lose a bit - and learn from them."
got back from work already, now having lunch. i just want to blog cos i wanna annotate a few things in my mind...
firstly, i'd like to introduce to myself (yes myself) a new tag. the switchfoot fallacy.
actually from the start i've already been reluctant in introducing such a tag. because then that would mean that the subjects are actually significant to me. and that will be ironic cos i'm technically aiming to not allow them significance to my life.
but then i realize that considerable time has passed and such issues keep passing through my mind unavoidably as i do not have the power to determine the kind of environment i'm exposed to. in addition to that, i cant simply ignore the trend into oblivion because sometimes, no matter how reluctant i am, these situations call to be looked into. and subsequently, i do have to make personal decisions that determine my personal stance.
so yes, ignorance is bliss, but can be unwise too. there is a great difference between control over thoughts and denial; the latter limits our learning on handling trying circumstances.
i don't want to limit my potential to learn.
ergo, i present the Switchfoot Fallacy.
disclaimer to self though. this does not mean i'm allowing the subjects to become significant to my thought baggage and emotion. no. the tag is not specific. it is broad. because hindsight tells me that the present subject wouldn't be the last i would see the trend in. it is a thread of human nature.
so today, how is this relevant?
well, the current mood is actually that i'm very amused and a bit indignant.
you know how the spare wheel theory works right? well i'm not feeling that extreme. but still, to some degree, i'm not feeling very appreciated. which is fine really. just that it's amusing how much tolerance and appeasement is expected of me.
but then, i must admit too that i have my own expectations which is why i'm feeling this way to begin with - indignant.
i mean switching on and off is one thing. i think i can deal with that. simply by not letting it bother me much. because anyways it's not significant enough.
but then the amusement comes because, the switch is one thing. but trying to build a whole network??? on my grounds?? (i'm speaking metaphorically.) after treating me that way, what makes you think i'm even comfortable with such a notion. seriously.
what an invasion.
okay thats done. now back to things that really matter to me.
Work today was seriously fun again. except for a certain customer that made us really annoyed. but i guess i was the most annoyed since i'm not really used to it yet. but then, i had my friends around and that fact alone was so awesome that nothing could really get me down.
besides, the whole point of me working there is to gain experience and nurture myself. yes, i want to learn patience and tolerance from unreasonable customers. i think this will help me a lot later in life.
i really appreciate thana though. haha. he whipped up this awesome tasting coffee drink that tasted so good i forgot all about the irritation i was feeling. then i also couldnt stop laughing cos of the whole knife conspiracy thing. (: hopefully he gets posted to my outlet again tomorrow. i definitely want him around especially since eloisa is flying off tonight and will be gone for the next 2 weeks.
seriously working with the two of them around is the best.
and today something funny happened. hahaha. i went to the pastry kitchen to collect stuff then i saw the HK sous chef! and then i actually asked, "are you a sous chef?" then he was like "ya." with that confused look on his face. probably cos i asked such a strange question. then he got even more confused when i started giggling like a crazy person. then i said "okay bye." then i went.
haha. seriously. seriously.

it's been raining a lot recently and i'm not complaining. though i think the security post at work now hates me. cos i keep stealing their umbrellas!! hahaha. not that i dont want to bring my own. just that i havent had an off day since it started raining to really sort out my umbrella issues.
however, i do resolve to get a small foldable one that i can leave in my bag at all times.
yes. I PROMISE!!!
i'm feeling great today. awesome actually. it's 7.15pm, and i'm here massaging my feet. del just fell asleep. way earlier today. i think cos she's been super hyper the whole day. i think she's tired. haha.
well that's good for me then i guess. i can read my news, and do my own stuff, and hopefully sleep early today. last night, i slept at 5am. i'm not hating it though. haha. i had a blast chatting with vi. though i feel really guilty. cos she was preparing for an exam (which was this morning). sorry!!!
but guess what. seems like it went well for that smart girl of mine. and now, we're chatting yet again! HAHA.
i miss cheryl.
oh speaking of cheryl, her birthday falls on NUS open house.
and thats not the only thing.
it falls on NTU open house too.
like wth???? why are NUS and NTU having open house on the same days??? it's like obvious competition. this reminds me of tpjc's open house 2006. same day as meridian. no bets for which school ended up the deserted one.
but yeah. NUS and NTU? what happened to collaboration and not competition in this time of need where investment in singapore's only natural resource - human capital- is most vital?? shouldn't we be playing on each other's strengths like one MP suggested weeks back in parliament instead of like clashing? i dont know. that's just my opinion.
speaking of universities, there are a hell lot of rumours going around that results come out next week. but really, i'm not letting it get to me. like i said, i'm not going to waste psychological effort worrying over something i cant do anything about. so we'll just take it as it goes. for now, i'm loving work.
and, speaking of work, work today was awesomely fun as usual! eloisa, raja and i kept talking about gays etc. then i got to see the REAL SOUS CHEF a couple of times, so that was a real happy booster. and thana came to work today! thats funnest! he's the most sweetest nicest cook at my outlet. he helps me serve customers and make coffee even though he's just supposed to stay at the kitchen side. still remember that picnic we had that night i was left IN CHARGE. (proudly!) hehe.
he's the louiza-proclaimed sous chef of our outlet. and eloisa is the self-proclaimed EXECUTIVE chef of our outlet. only cos she always bullies the sous chef.
sous sous sous. u know, i always wanted to meet one. i always watch movies and shows where the sous chefs are so important and blahblah... and now, i finally get to meet one often! hahahaa. the REAL SOUS CHEF. in charge of pastry. yes vivian your HONG KONG person.
actually, i didnt even know he's a sous chef despite seeing him so many times. one day i just remembered my movies and asked raja, "here where are the sous chefs ah?" then he was like "THERE! he's a sous chef"
then i was like wahhhhh..... finally i KNOW one. hahaha.
ah wells. so yes. work is fun and nice. i'm loving work, and i'm not giving hoots about A results.
okayy! gonna read the news now! (:

i just came home. today was rather fun.
especially at work, i think that was fun.
i ended up working extra hour today for fun. cos i couldn't leave due to the HEAVY HEAVY rain. also, the people i work with are super fun. eloisa (her name sounds like mine, so when she works they call me maria to lessen the confusion), auntie, thana, selvam, christina!
as much as i wanted to stay, i had to leave eventually to go church. so i borrowed an umbrella from the nice nice security people.
went to TM to sit, drink and rest my feet. then walked to church and now i'm back!
i find it really nice when boys automatically detect, pick up and safeguard against my unreasonable jealous tendencies. haha.

delilah's watching tv beside me on parents' bed. i'm trying to manage a quick skip onto the net to post this without her seeing my laptop. otherwise, i'm bound to lose another key.
focus of this post was to tell you guys about a new network i joined yesterday.
Twitter
check it out, it's pretty interesting.
and if you add me there (in their language, follow), you'll be able to get real time updates on what i'm doing or what i'm thinking at that moment. cos the application is pretty down-to-earth and quick.
i'm currently now following mainly news twitters. since they provide real time updates, it's pretty useful.
but you dont have to be nerd like me and follow news stations and papers. you can follow people.
and stalk.
haha.
well as for me, my updates will soon become more real time once i get my new hp. most probably i'll get twitter on it. then can update wherever i am. haha.
twitter's pretty big now in the states. so go check it out! hehe!
oh you can add me if you want. my username's louizastarr.
my latest update, is that i've been feeling like i swallowed something foreign for hours. i must stop eating ice. i feel like something's stuck down my gullet. ugh.
my twitter
okay i better go now.
del's getting restless.
oh for memory sake. today went work with hadi. and he told me lots of unexpected stuff about a certain someone. haha!
and working with thana is still awesome. he's my sous chef.
and i know i still owe posts about work. but really too busy and tired to type it all down. but i assure you it's really fun. haha!
and today, i missed out going to the KI gathering, and russ' boys' bbq.

- use of public transport increased by 7.4% last year - fastest rate in many years. probably cos of the global economy squeeze. so because demand is so high, the authorities are now pushing forward public projects. like new lines, and more trains, and pushing forward deadlines. could this also provide the stimulation the domestic economy needs in these times? like through Government Expenditure? there's a thought...
- banks are also retrenching. eg DBS.
- apparently now authorities want to promote cycling and stuff. they're building more tracks... park connectors... and generating innovative ideas that may encourage people to cycle. all that sounds pretty rad to me. i love to cycle and i think its totally hawt to like cycle on a bicycle to get to your destination etc. it's so european. i would so give up traveling in vehicles to just cycle. HOWEVER, only one thing would stop me from going 100% bicycle. and that is, the STUPID HOT WEATHER IN SINGAPORE. i mean, who wants to arrive at their destination (say a date) all sweaty and hot (in the wrong way of course)? but really it's an awesome idea. if the weather here was cooler and not so humid, i would totally cycle all the way to orchard if it was possible.
- shit i dont think i can get into law anymore.
- okay i'm reading the papers now right, and i'm seeing all those stupid CORNY vday ads by restaurants and shit. with their stupid heart-shaped food and free bears. BUT as much as find it all revolting, i just came across delifrance's advert. and i must admit that the bear they're giving with their corny couple meal is actually quite cute. well at least the best i've seen so far from other restaurants that give out "bears". seriously some of them dont even look like bears. but this one actually caught my attention. and if you didnt know, i love teddy bears. i used to collect them. but not any kind. there is a certain kind of bears that i like. must feel nice, and must be branded. yeah. i had a nice collection. which i left at martin's house. SIGH. and didnt bother collecting back... OR starting another collection.. so yeah. ANYWAYS, reason why this bear caught my eye was cos it looks like a Russ bear! maybe cos of the ribbon. i love the ribbon. dunno if it feels as nice tho. damn now i miss my russ bear.

- tourism sector is really being boosted by the government. free admission to attractions... no GSTs... free flights... and mind you, this is to BOTH foreigners and locals. personally, i think not only is it a good way to promote singapore as an attractive tourist spot, but it also at the same time allows for boosts in AD through local consumption.
- how interesting. STB is actually measuring its budget for its initiatives in pounds! haha.
- seriously, all the corny offers for valentine dinners by restaurants are grossing me out. it's so nauseating. heart-shaped food???!
- hahaha. u know what's funny? the satellites that collided in space. now their pieces are floating everywhere. and nasa is hesitant to send shuttles up into space cos they may collide with the pieces. apparently space is becoming very littered. /: does this mean there's such thing as space pollution? haha. the slogan can be something like Save Space. haha.

okay well. now i'm just sitting in my dining room having coffee and thinking about recent events.
yesterday was a weird day. weird in a sense, doesnt feel like it existed. in a sense, didnt feel like a DAY
maybe cos the night following the morning, i didnt sleep a wink. thanks to a certain girl. but hey, apart from being traumatized, (YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TELL PEOPLE WHY I WAS TRAUMATIZED UNDERSTAND!) it was really nice. what's nicer was the morning though.
without sleeping, i went over to tpjc to do a favour for miss quek. (love love!) then spent the whole morning and early afternoon with rudy.
needless to say, by the time i got home, i was effing sleepy. i practically just floated through the rest of the day. then slept early, and didnt read news. so it felt like a half-day to me. not a real day.
well at least i had my sleep, and i'm all better today. (: even managed to study the news. see! *points upwards.
anyways, i realize that i have a VERY low sex drive. yes, unbelievable i know. you people are probably going like "oh then why you have delilah and blahblahblah." but seriously, hahaha. it's actually true and the CONTRAST has come to light very recently. hmmmmsss..... hahahahah.
yeah i think i wont die without sex. and for a reason only elfy and rudy knows, i am actually scared of vaginal penetration. (pardon the crudeness. haha) and no, it's not cos i'm scared of getting pregnant again. i'm scared of sex toys and the finger. hahahaha. can't believe i'm saying all this. but yeah. they dont give out sperm.
want to know something random? i haven't had sex for at least 1 and a half years now.
but, i can't live without what elfy tells me malays call the manja-ing. to me, its just the cute and cuddlies! awww. hahaha. means hugs and kisses. and snuggles and curls and patting. (not petting k. patting. like pat pat on my head kind. and ruffle my hair)
yeah well i'm weird that way.
ah wells enough of the sex talk.
with all the university options coming in, i'm actually hoping my immigration gets cleared before aug or sept... then i can do my uni in the states... that would be nice.
that greek guy is hot but pity all the english he speaks is "hey baby".

title: jun yuan
date: Tuesday, February 03, 2009
couldn't think of a better title that would put things more plainly.
so yes, the title is jun yuan. because i kind of miss him.
who is jun yuan? he is my neighbour who lives on the 2nd floor. (i'm girl above, he's boy below) he also graduated from tpjc last year.
and reason why i miss him, is because i feel like walking now.
night walk.
that's what we did almost everyday during pre-A level days and post A level.
yup. at whatever time.
i remember once we walked till we found ourselves totally out of pasir ris by accident. we found ourselves at the freeway. it was rather scary. and it was 4 am.
it's fun having such a person living so near me. anything i can go downstairs. anything he comes up. i remember he would come up to steal my hole puncher, and i will go down to steal paper and pens. i think he still has my hole puncher.
then once i had a nightmare and he asked me to go downstairs to sleep on his bed cos i was scared. HIM ON HIS FLOOR K.
and i remember how i will always be so amazed by how smart he is. talking about physics blahblah.
and he underestimated my math powers k! hahahaha.
it was fun studying with him. such an ah beng seriously. but a sweet one. he often carried my bag. as you know i'm such a lazy arse.
i feel like walking now. but there isn't really anyone i can think of that i can just say, "hey! lets walk!". jun yuan is in NS. he went in in december.
oh speaking of carrying bags, i was at a bus stop in tampines last night, and i saw this couple. and the guy was like carrying the girl's super polka dotted bag. i just had to laugh. how cute was that??! hahaha!
anyways, so now i don't really know what to do. oh wells. maybe i'll go watch tv or something. think i'll sleep early today. i am most probably going to tpjc tomorrow morning. miss quek wants me to do something for her.
well, about today, i had a very enriching day. i woke up at like 1, and all the way to 7, i just read and read. news that is. felt like i was studying.
OMG i just realised something!! remember there was a bulletin where they asked for something i think would be unexpected to happen the next day? and i said US embassy will call????
i received that letter from US Immigration!!!!! omg hahahaha. wow.

today is a nice monday. a nice monday for a pajama date.
pajama dates are reserved for really-awesome-nice-person. like bf material. but unfortunately, there's no one like that for me at the moment.
oh wells. it's like no one's really cut out just yet.
you know last year, i had a "boyfriend".
i was quite sick of people hitting on me in school, trying to find out stuff about me, so my dear Qashrul so graciously agreed to be my "boyfriend".
everything was a show so that people around would think we were together.
i'm still grateful for that.
that's something random about me.

ONE: NOoooo!!!!!!
like me for me. the spoiltness and irritatingness. because, i appreciate.
TWO: taxis
i get it, the economy is bad. i've been reading the news regularly of late, and yes, taxis are experiencing significant declines in demand. and i sympathize with them. yes, the global economic contraction is affecting all sectors. BUT, i don't see how the situation can improve with dishonesty.
i understand that the economy is bad, but i dont see why drivers should try to cheat their way for a few more bucks. it just makes the taxi industry look bad, and further discourage commuters from patronizing taxis.
the past two days, i took taxis like 4 times. and 3 times, i got exploited. they took longer routes, and even waited for the meter charge to increase, even though we've stopped at the destination already, before stopping the meter.
i'm not a selfish money-minded person. most of the time, i let drivers keep the change. but i think, honesty is always important. ESPECIALLY during this period of economical crisis. ambiguous financial deals played a great role in causing the crisis. uncertainty and the lack of transparency. we have to start being honest, so that the foundations of business can be strong and reliable. then maybe such disasters can be avoided.
so yeah. taxi companies may not be as big as financial institutions like Lehman Brothers or what.. but it's a start. if SMEs are all going to cheat and exploit where they can, collectively, it's going to be a problem for the service sector; which is also suffering badly from the global recession.
think about it.
THREE: my day
i had a great day. with family, and with an awesome bunch of stpatricians. cheers~
