Bits

Sigh. I'm so behind/bummed. Haha, pun.


Behind bit.

Posts that are still in drafts inside my head:

1. Divorce. Easy way out? Staying for the right reasons and not bullshit excuses like "for the kids". Love alone isn't enough, but it is still the minimum requirement.

2. The Pope's speech. Firstly, that's not a real apology. Bad pope. Secondly, it's illogical to demand that he retract the statement - it's from the 14th Century. Doofi. Thirdly, to be fair, he should have also highlighted the words of Pope Urban II, the instigator of the Crusades. Fourthly, get a grip and look at the context. It was a speech made to theologians. In a dusty university. In long convulated sentences that would put any student to sleep, what more a crazed militant. Fifthly - an elderly catholic nun was shot soon after. Violent protests. Calls to kill the Pope. Property damange. Show and tell? More like tell and show. There should be a distinct taste of shoe in the mouths of moderates - forget the fundamentalists, boots are delicious to them by now.

3. Michael, the 4th person to pass in and out of my life. The biggest satisfaction in my life - International Fiesta.

4. The Thai coup. Where's a Thai general when you need one? It wasn't a set-back for democracy, form-over-substance-obsessed fools. If only we had a genuinely revered King, not some DYMM Sultan eer.. Who? who is loved only by a fictitious rakyat.

5. No review of the 1988 judicial crisis? Ah, Pak Lah, my faith is lost again. My fantasy debate would be Bill Clinton vs. Ex PM. Google the Clinton vs Chris Wallace transcript if you're bored and are in fear for your intellectual capacity. A president with a brain. How refreshing.

Bummed bit.

Ok, so I started the meal replacement weight loss thingy that my mother dictated I should try. I now have TWO canisters of fake-baked-goods-smelling sawdust that is to be my lunch for the next 44 days. It's delicious. My. Ass.

It's supposed to be a shake. So I shook it up with soya bean milk. Tastes fake. And the stupid powder doesn't dissolve. So it clumps and swims around inside my mouth like the way it feels to drink stubbornly-refusing-to-dissolve horlicks. Gluggy. I think it's really depressing.

On top of that, there's this concentrated Aloe Vera drink. It tastes like melted cosmetics with a hint of floor detergent. Coherent words are too scared to attempt describing it. BLLLEARGUUUGGGHHHGAAHHRARRRR! Herbalife has no such difficulty. The website says that it has a "delicious citrus twist". My stomach certainly does twist in response though. Herbalife also suggests that this wonderful drink is a good substitute for fizzy drinks.

Backside.

It's no Kickapoo, let me tell you.

Then there's some kind of lemon-hibiscus tea mix. Which is actually quite nice, so that's ok. I think it's supposed to make me crap green. So my mother reports. Of her own green, not mine.

The first day I had the shake with Oat Bran. It felt like hot glue puke. I needed 3 spring rolls and 2 karipap to comfort me in the evening.

Today was sans Oats. Got gastric by 3.30.


Sucks.

In happier news, Nik, the runner-up of ANTM (cycle 5) is HAWT. Drool. Yowz. Slobber. Ngggarrgh.

I had this fantasy...er...never mind.

Ignore the fact that she's got some serious high pants going on in the first photo.

Lose weight?

WHY SPOT WHY?
*says me as I fiddle with my not-so-lovely handles*

Your mummy is not around mah....chuck them all in the tong sampah! How long have you been on the puke inducing shakes? Lost ANY weight yet?

I feel depressed for you. So how? Can you eat nasi lemak at my nasi lemak party or do you have to eat something healthy?

wow, you said it better in your blogs abt that drink rather in the sms. shiver, when i read abt it! actually citrus twist is the right description coz mostly floor detergents in public toilets have this distinct citrus smell also.....urrggghh!!!

oh, and whilst you're at Behind #5, there's also that nonsense of the not-quite-an-apology (though i'm surprised they even had the brains to see the difference!) and the ungracious this-had-better-not-happen-again. or what? you'll sic your military youths in blue on him?

dear leaders, if we were truly united and harmonious, would you not just laugh in the face of such a statement, instead of throwing such a hissy fit about it?

hmm, perhaps it would fit in better with Behind #2?

whatever. we'd better get that public hol on the 23rd...

I keep trying to reply to comments but get stuck looking at Nik.

Yowz.

And this was the girl of whom I remember saying "mahgawd she's ugly".

Think I shd take down the first one at least, eh, Snowie hor?

hor!

Whoa. Even I thought Nic was hot. Though she was kinda a bitch in the show.

Brie was the much bigger bitch! Nik was quite cool throughout I thought. She's got an awesome face while Nicole looks like a milk bottle with hair.

Oh, btw Kino still has plenty Fragile Things with 20% discount with any purchase! The book itself isn't expensive, only 61.50 for a HC. Haven't read it yet though.

Geek & Nut - Actually, not so much lose weight but lose the gut. My belly is way to happy. :)

boobs - Cannotlah. I've a lifetime program to feel guilty. These stupid things are so expensive! Have only done 3 days of it. No miracles yet.

Watch me eat lots on Sunday! ;)

kiut - I KNOW! Cham hor?

snowie - Wah, someone's been reading the news. It's too funny..."Don't Do It Again". Like as if LKY gives a sanitised, saltless, fatless Singapore-style crap.

Malaysia Boleh = Blustering delusions of self-importance. T's very sad.

Ah yes, indeed I've forgotten about Elphaba! Really must do a bulk book review soon, together with Toot & Puddle.


Nik Nik Nik Nik, call me!

Her boobs are not too big at all. Hmph. Better than all the vertical runways who stomp (as opposed to Nik's bounce) down the catwalk.

Think I'll leave tht first pic there after all... just to make you. :)

psst...Nik, call me!

paul - Whadayamean my Nik was bitchy....will's right, that horse-trotting Bre was worse, psychotic even!

Nik was so professional, though a bit dumb - but we're talking abt models, so that's ok - and was never the brat that Nicole was.

Nicole's very pretty, Nik's smokin' hot. *call me!*

will - Bre was stinky, like the cheese you spell her name after! I kinda like her gravelly voice though, as much as I reviled her.

Hahaha...Nicole is very pale hor. She reminds me of Marie Osmond.

Ooo...20% discount! But so lazy to go Kino lah.

niCOLE's pwiti! so glad she won.

and given that you've often thought nik looks like tyra sometimes, it's scary...

btw, you forget - your phone's under MY name ;)

The Aloe Vera? I'm sure it's not that bad. Probably like Kickapoo without the kick. Or the 'a'...

FINALLY I know what ANTM stands for! Everybody just throws that acronym around like it's NASA or FBI and you're just expected to know it.

snowie - ya lar, nicole pretty. Like a girl. Nik is hawt. Like a woman. :)

No, you forget...the statement only shows calls I make.
(Nik, call me, it's ok!)

weeshiong - I gladly volunteer my bottle for you to ascertain for yourself.
;P

jay - How can??? Bitchery, fashion, divadom....you better hand in your gay card lah.
