we swallow, do you?

ok i'm really sleepy right now but will make a sorry attempt at an entry just becos i'm putting off refilling my kitty's litter box... it's not what u think, i'm waiting for the box and floor to dry lah. just washed the loo. again. and hakka's been eyeing my dad's jambul bird in the balcony and killing cockroaches. be afraid, be very afraid...

anyway. rohana, kecik and i went to watch forbidden chestnuts: portrait of a brokeback geisha. it was bloody hilarious! they were making parodies out of practically everything that was hot in 2006, entertainment- wise. good thing that i managed to catch quite a few of the local productions last year with rohana so we knew what was going on most of the time. i guess some people are clubbers, some are drinkers... me? i'd say i'm a player. wahaha. my favourites were the matrix spoof and the tokyo drift song at the end. what was not so hot was the fact that the actors didn't properly enunciate their words sometimes, so they came out rather garbled and unintelligible. say wha?

got a little pissed off when we were on our way home cos mum called and was like, where r u? y never tell? when u coming back? now those qns r fine, but then she started nagging again about how i've been going out too much, not telling them where i'm going, dad's not happy, etc. i'm thinking, why now? i never tell them where i go!! well sometimes i do but it's not a habit. unless i'm going back really late like say, after 12am, then i tell lah cos i don't want them to lock the door. for some reason my key doesn't work anymore. bah. so yeah, it really irritated me that i was expected to report strength all the bloody time. when did mum call? 10.30pm!! so early sia, i used to come back from the gym at 11pm for goodness sake and no one said anything! i'm an adult, dammit!

speaking of grown ups, another thing to whinge about. work. had my appraisal today cos it was postponed from yest. funny thing is, i think my senior and i rated ourselves very high individually compared to the other colleagues. lol. good thing is our super kinda agreed with most of the ratings we gave ourselves. for me the kpi was a prob tho, cos it was collective and not individual and i didn't state how i contributed. of cos i contributed to some more than others lah. understood mah! i'm not the only one responsible for bringing in the bacon. pfft. also we were supposed to mention ad hoc projects. i just looked at the super and was like, my entire job scope is ad hoc. she agreed. haha. they were also commending me on something that i thought i really sucked at- promptness. i was like, huh? i give express service? since when? usually i'll ignore stuff until i feel like getting back to them. wahaha. if this is express can u imagine how efficient i'd be if i actually acted on things immediately?? boggles the mind.

ok that was a small load off. i'm good now.

p.s. in case u didn't notice, allow me to draw your attention to the list at the right titled grey matter stimulants. it's a list of books i'm currently reading. i was gonna add in stuff that i wanna read also but then ah... dunno how to keep the 2 separated leh. ok fine, there's probably a really simple solution but i'm just way too lazy to entertain that thought right now. gimme yr views!
