question: what is one thing that you’ve always wanted?

Filed under: Barflies, Blog Things — missyling @ 11:50 pm

this was a question posed to me by the rational neurotic.

there was no hesitation, no delays - i knew the answer to that question immediately.

i’ve expressed that particular desire occassionally, only to be met with responses like….

“no lah, you’re not cut out for it…just wait for other people to do it for you.”

“really, oh no! we’re all in trouble!”

“aiya, you say only. i’ll wait for that day…”

such encouraging friends i have huh.

still have no clue as to what is it?

i’ve always wanted to learn driving since i was 14 but have never, ever taken driving lessons before. in the past, the cost of driving lessons deterred me. now, the lack of time is deterring me.

maybe i don’t want it badly enough yet.

some of my friends are really quite against the idea due to my bad sense of direction…they think that the time i’ll spend getting lost will be far more compared to the time that i would have saved by driving instead of taking public transport.

maybe they’re right.

but that won’t stop me!

one day…i’ll get my driving license. one day.

Risk-y virgin

Filed under: Barflies, Cam-whore — missyling @ 5:00 pm

growing up with my two male cousins, i’ve always been surrounded by male-oriented games such as fifa, championship manager, civilisation, age of empire and risk. recalling from my now slightly-fuzzy memory, i think i’ve always seen the board-game, risk, lying around somewhere.

since computer games were considered more ‘hip’ than their cousin, the board-game, i’ve picked up all these male-oriented games except risk. please remember that this was, maybe, 12-13 years ago, so computer games were still considered the most ‘in’ things around then, okay?!

hence, i have always been a virgin at ‘risk’.

last month, during my birthday month, i’ve had the opportunity to learn how to play this game at pitstop cafe with two of my favourite bloggers, no less.

the game was relatively easy to understand in theory, but, like every other game, there will be some aspects that you’ll only fully understand once you start playing. so play, we did.

the version of risk that we played looked like a star-wars edition. there were land, space and water stations that we could conquer and occupy with little plastic “soldiers” that looked like robots.

risk boardgame

i can’t recall what were the colour of my robots. and no, not black, if that’s what you’re thinking.

perhaps it was beginners’ luck, or perhaps riding upon my ally’s luck or skills, our all-girls team beat all the guys in the game. to add insult to injury, both of us were only beginners to the game!

girls team

yeah, we kick the men’s asses. muahaha.

oh yeah, before i forget, both me and nadnut were playing against another of my favourite blogger and one of the pitstop guys.

me kenny nad at pitstop

and there goes my first time…..of playing risk.

in other news, i’ve another little nephew recently! look at how adorable shijie is…

shijie

shooooooooooooooooo cute. and look, he’s even trying to pout at the camera! a hotshot male model in the making?

and yes, i’ve finally gotten around to posting with pictures. just wait till i get my camera…

i’ll get around to doing all the memes too. i think i’m still in debts of a red-bull and 6-weird-things-about-me memes. soon soon!

missy, out.

was it a good friday?

Filed under: Barflies, everyday stuff — missyling @ 8:18 pm

despite sleeping at an ungodly hour of 4am yesterday, i managed to drag myself out of bed at 8.30am this morning (gracey had to give me a morning call, of course! thanks dear!) to meet km, nad, jaschoc and gracey for breakfast at east coast park. yea, you’ve heard right. to have a macdonalds breakfast, i had to go down all the way to the east. i guess it wasn’t the breakfast, it was the company that made my effort worthwhile.

after a sinful breakfast of macdonald’s breakfast, km and nad embarked on the mission of orientating gracey on how to blade. i had wanted to try my hand (or legs, in this case?) at it too but after my “flight” which results in numerous injuries, i decided to push my coming-out to a later date. while the trio was off blading, jaschoc and i decided to chill and read while waiting for them. other than the magazine, i didn’t managed to read my book at all! i was busy being stonic and people/dog-watching.

after ecp, we headed to km’s house for a bout of mahjong! the deathmatch involved gracey, me, jas and km. nad was busy being my first-aider, helping me to rub my bruises. thank you sweetie! after playing one round, i won a grand total of…………………….$1.80.

haha! luck’s lousy.

after relieving our itchy hands, me and gracey headed down to meet some of her friends for our after-dark activity. needless to say, we went to eat, drink, sing and make merry!

i actually have some thoughts that i had wanted to put into words, but somehow, words does not come easily at this time at night. i need to put my thoughts in order.

it was a good friday, in my humble opinion.

the one about feeling younger

Filed under: Barflies, Dreamy & Wistful, Musing reflections — missyling @ 10:38 pm

just got home at six in the morning. it has been a long time since i’ve had wild fun like this.

surprising, i still feel energetic inspite of the early hours that i’m keeping! does that mean that i’m getting younger? yay!

there have been many issues on my mind that i’ve wanted to write about, but sadly, i’ve had no time to think through most of them. i do need to think through my blog entries before i write, if not, those posts will make absolute-ly no sense..

devils is definitely fun on a friday. i’m sold. dbl o, u suck! (on fridays only) i havent been to any clubs that have beaten dbl o on a saturday. call me old fashioned, but the latest, most happening club, mos is not my cup of tea.

since it’s such an ungodly hour now and all my brain cells have gone into the hibernate mode, i shall blog about something brainless and absolutely bimbotic.

last week (or was it two weeks ago, i can’t remember), i had a strange dream. in the dream, i was at some club with a particular barfly. mind you, this barfly was someone i’m definitely not close to. not even remotely. but somehow or other, i was clubbing with him and was supposedly having the time of my life.

the next scene i remembered in my dream was when we were walking in some dark alley (supposedly en route to going home) when we turned into a corner. the most disgusting thing was, we were actually walking hand in hand. eeww..

anyway, that wasn’t even the worst part.

as we turned into the dark corner (it was a right turn in my dream), someone from the dark corner jumped up and grabbed me. he was a big black shape. he lifted me from the ground…and took off.

it was at this moment, i awoke. screaming.

***

this dream is so ridiculous that i didn’t know where to start.

okay, clubbing with barflies i can understand. but with this particular barfly, i can’t begin to understand why i was clubbing with him.

secondly, why am i walking anywhere with him hand in hand!?!? i swear, i havent even exchanged 20 sentences with him! just to add for anyone’s benefit, i certainly do not have a crush on him.

thirdly, why was i grabbed?!

stupid dream. luckily they say that dreams are opposites of reality, so i guess i will not club with this barfly ever, i will not go anywhere with him ever, and i will not get grabbed by big black shapes ever.

yay!

i should probably start writing a list of stuff that i’ve wanted to blog about because i realised that i’m starting to forget all of it.

now, that’s a thought.
