Blasted laptop on top of everything damn thing

This is the 3rd F**KING time I’m typing this. Sick of this shit man. I feel so shitty today-to say the least. I’m angry, frustrated, irritated, pissed off. I’m 1 helluva angry girl right now. My head is spinning from all the alcohol I’ve been intoxicating myself with & from the things going on in my head. Sometimes I wonder why I let them(I mean people) get to me so much. I’m such a biatch for thinking what I think & I question myself in my own head but to no conclusion.

I mean, do I seriously OWE these people THAT much? Honestly…….DO I??!!! Why the HELL should I bother??!! Should I even put in so much of MY time? What’s the point?! What do I get? Talk about ungratefulness, why don’t you turn around, look at yourself in the mirror & ask yourself before questioning anybody else? YOU don’t have the bloody right to judge me. Nobody does. Nobody has the right to judge anyone at all!

And ain’t it nice to have a 9 to 5 job? :) Where you work FIXED hours, get PAID for doing OT & HAVE A F**KING LIFE?! I’d appreciate that, for sure.

And I spent the last 1 and a half hours on the phone trying to juggle & re-organise & settle my flights.

Oh yeah, sure I’m enjoying myself here. I’m probably just trying to kid myself. Who the hell cares anyway?

The Blue Martini

Ok…so here I am, 2.22am in St. Petersburg, Florida. Heart pumping, head spinning . I went clubbing @ a place called THE BLUE MARTINI. It’s THE place to go. Well renowned, where all the beautiful & ‘happening’ people go & hang out. They play pop/rock/R&B. It’s a girl’s night out-Jesse’s 2nd hen’s night, thrown & put together by Joe’s buddies’ wives. They all range from 30-41 years of age but man can they PARTY!!!!!!! They seriously ROCK!!!!!!! They’re a cool bunch of gals. We went for shots & champagne!! Woah…..they even got me to dance on the platform…geez…what a sight!

Get this, people….I got pick up by a few guys. I can’t believe it. I’ve never had anyone really come up to me & tell me ‘Hey, I think you’re really attractive & I’d love to dance with you’. Hell man, seriously, what are the odds of that happening?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing as it is, I still love who I love so…..just gives me a kick. Ha.

I’m gonna go knock out coz it’s THE Big Day for Jesse tomorrow &….catch this….AND one of the girls is bringing me to a TATTOO PARLOR. *grin* Since I can’t make it to Miami Ink….gotta make do……I’m gonna check it out…. :)

Real darn headche….TOO MUCH FUN. :P Heeh heh heh….

Some pics…from Florida…

Bloody_arm_legLook!! Someone had this at the back of a car! People here DO have a sense of humor!! Do you think we’d get stopped in Singapore for pulling off a stunt like this??!! It IS Happy Halloween….

BrekkiePart of my brekkie!!! Haven’t had a brekkie like this for the longest time!! Bacon fried till crisp!! Yumsie!!!!!

The_godfather Starter drinks I had @ Piazza. It’s called

                  ‘The Godfather’

Sirloin_strips_piazza

Didn’t take pics of our appetisers so…here’s my main. Sirloin strips with mashed potato. *droooool…*

Wet_willies Now, THIS is cool.. This pic only shows 1 side of the bar. It has just as many on the other side, but different flavours from this side. The drinks are all ‘Slurpee-like’ and they come in amazing flavours of your cocktails & shooters!!! I didn’t try it though…had japanese lunch before that & was TOO stuffed for it. Sigh…

So far, that’s it..didn’t brink my cam and this is what I took with my mobile…

Sea World

Lugged myself out of bed this morning coz we planned to set out early for Sea World in Orlando. It was nice, except for the fact that it was SCORCHING HOT!!!! And that got into my way of enjoying anything much. The Aquariums were really nice though…Had many species of sharks, even the swordfish!! Saw gigantic barracudas & a FAT, FAT moray eel. I couldn’t get enough of the shark aquarium though :( We got to see & touch dolphins & stingrays!! Cool!!!!! But I’d still like to go diving. It’s a whole different experience! The whole Sea World experience was enriching except for the heat & it left us drained of energy for the rest of the journey home.

We were supposed to go out for dinner but we were all TOO tired so Joe & Jesse went to the supermarket - Publix - to buy some groceries. Joe decided to cook for us. :) Turns out, dinner was super delicious & I ate ALOT! ALOT!!!! ARGH!!!!! I really need to go on a diet when I get back….Oh no…..

After dinner, we all had a good talk & some serious chit chat..Everythings fine & dandy so….more or less settled. :) We ate chocolate chip cookies that the neighbour brought over to welcome my aunt!!

Now, I’m yawning non-stop as I type this…ugh….can’t take it anymore…Bed’s calling.

Aft the Cocktail party

Ok, so it’s 2.30am here in Florida, St. Petersburg & I just got home from a cocktail party thrown by Joe’s friends for the soon-to-be wed couple. Hmmm….maybe I should start from the beginning.

Today started with shopping at the mall, a tad before lunch. The shops there are AMAZING!!! I got to visit Bath & Body works, Victoria’s Secret, William Sonoma, Abercrombie & Fitch, Swatch etc. I bought SSOOOOO MUCHHHH!!!!!!!!

Proceeded to lunch at a place alled ‘Piazza’-they serve real cool italian food. Of course had pre-lunch drinks, as always. I had a ‘The Godfather’-fantastic. It consists of Bailey’s & Butterscotch something. It’s not overtly sweet, just nice.

Went back to shopping, passed by Cinnabon so bought my boss some as promised! Hope it stays good till I get back home!

I met up with a friend who drove up specially from Miami to see me!!! I’ve never met her before-today’s the first! So happy!!! It was great to get to meet up with her. :)

We all proceeded back to my aunt’s place to freshen up for the cocktail party. Dropped by at the Don Cesar(beach resort) where Joe & my aunt is gonna be holding their beach solemnisation & dinner to check it out…!!!!! The sunset there is SO romantic. AWESOME!!!!!!! Had some champagne there before we set out to Joe’s friend’s place for the party. Learnt that a strawberry in a glass of champagne really does make a difference to the taste!! Sweeter!!

Turns out, Joe’s friends are all in the high-flying, rich category. The party was hosted by Rick & Beth Evans & their house is HUGE!!! With a big backyard that has a playground, swimming pool & straight after the backyard is the lake/river/water-body. They own at least 1 boat….

They have a big & classy kitchen good enough for a cook show…a game room with a pool table & a popcorn machine, inset speakers around the whole 1st floor of the house!! The house, from the outside, looks like a resort!! Geez…!!!!

They even got in an in-house bartender for the party!! A Brazilian U-grad in IT whose parents are doctors!!! Best of all, the people are awesome & very welcoming. Not the typical rich-ass snoots. I’m pretty comforted by the fact that they’re accepting & welcoming towards my aunt. :)

We’re even planning a bachelorette’s party for my aunt. The secret plan was to fly all 11 of us gals down to Miami on Rick’s private plane(he flies & owns his own small private plane!!), go for dinner at a nice restaurant, head down to a strip club & do a last minute hosting of a private strip thing for her!! Hahahaha!!!! And of course, if I find the time, to head down to Miami Ink to do a tattoo!! Oh, and to visit my friend’s house at the same time. :)

We ended really late. So, so so tired. Fully busted!!! My friend drove home back to Miami…pretty worried about her going home so late though. But she text me when she got home-so glad she’s ok.

After the BIG ‘leak’

Got up early today-couldn’t really sleep well. Kept getting up. Went to the front door & notice something AMAZING!! There was a little spider on its web & a small fly got stuck. It crawled up to the fly, started spinning it around. About a min after, you can tell the fly was wrapped up in a thin cocoon & once every few spins, the spider went close to the fly & started sucking(I think) the life outta the poor fly!!! It went on for quite a while & it was like watching National Geographic-LIVE!! I was observing it for so long my neck ached after that. Well worth it though. :) How often do you see something like that??!!

Had breakfast and watched 2 episodes of ‘Charmed’ back to back!!!! WOOOO!!! We busied ourselves getting lost around the neighbourhood looking for the supermarket & laundry. We spent quite a few hours doing just 2 tasks! Had Subway for lunch. YUMS!!! I love the supermarket here. There are no words to describe it. I had so much fun walking up & down the aisles! There are endless options/choices as to what you wanna eat/drink/use etc…Makes me feel like migrating to the U.S. too… ha. Wish I could buy the whole supermarket home!!! Wah…………. :) *blink*blink*

Got home for a while so I thought I’d blog stuff that has happened so far-at least those that I remember!!! LOL!!!!

!Pink Hat

Went to The Pier yesterday & lo & behold!! I bought a pink cowboy hat!! Looks coooool….!!! Walked quite a bit yesterday, checked out the neighborhood a lil’…But it was damn hot!! Joe brought us to a club toImg_5060 eat. Fantabulous food & dessert! Had a pasta with steak, dessert: Creme brulee with toasted coconut strips coated with cinnamon Accompanied with strawberry compote. 2nd dessert: Banana fude cake with ganache. On the side there was a chocolate ’sandwich’ with chocolate mousse rosettes in the middle, and citrus fruit compote. Nice & pretty. The creme brulee was good! Yummy! Had drinks naturally. :) Also had a nice cute waiter whom jus graduated from the university - Yassir. :) 

Had a nice cool walk back to their house. As we were all getting ready to sleep..Dad’s room light started to leak - smelly water. Aunt Rosy just got outta her bath & came into Joe & Jesse’s room saying water leaking!! It was ‘raining’!!! So it was due to the pipes getting choked maybe Dad took a crap & toilet got stuck or something!!! There went all the nice confy comfortors, bedsheets etc.. Started working & cleaning. Then I got evicted to the couch on the 1st floor while Dad & Aunt Rosy got my bed in the attic. :( SIGH…..What a pain…

1st night in Tampa Florida

I’m here in florida!! In my aunt’s house. Way cool!! Things weren’t that great in the morning though…got to JFK Airport in NYC & the immigration officers/airport staff were haughty, rude, & full of sarcasm & bad-ass attitude. Filled in my visa waiver form in NYC & filled in ‘S’pore’ in country blank. The dumb-ass officer asked me what’s/where’s ‘S’ ‘pore’ I mean….who in the world would ask a question like that??!!! It’s an abbreviation for Singapore you numbskull!! Said:’Look in the camera & smile at me & pretend that you like me.’ WTF??!!! Tipped me off the wrong side early in the morning. Stuuuuupid…….. And we got different directions from different people & we were made monkeys on a wild banana chase!

Anyway, it’s 12hours difference from Singapore. Topsy turvy…And I’m sleepy now……..

Boarding..!!!

I’ve checked in & awaiting to board the plane…while waiting…gues what I’m doing while I’m typing this out??? A foot reflexology!!!! Shiok man!!!! But just to think about the long long flight…UGH.

Thanks Morgan for volunteering to take care of my baby for me-for a whole 10 days!!! So sweet of you. :) *beams*

Well, had a photo shoot done today ….but I gotta go board the plane. Tell you guys about the photo shoot later!!

And Sis…..I forgot my cam. DUH!!!! Bleargh.
