I admit to being a wee bit bitchy over the weekend. Hey, cut me some slack. If you have a 6 month-old baby who gets feverish when she's angry or at intervals during the day or night and she is starting to pick and choose who she likes or does not like based on how often she sees the people around her or if you've had a total of maybe 8 hours sleep within 60 hours, maybe you'd be bitchy too. Not to mention lack of sleep causes me to bloat, which some people have described as fat! Shows how much they don't know me. And not to mention how some people have decided that I lack energy and stamina. You try being on your feet all day while handling teenagers and colleagues as well as planning at least one month ahead and then going home to a baby who just can't understand yet why her mother disappears all day and leaves her at home. Trust me, I have the energy. I just wish people would stop thinking I do nothing but sit at my desk all day.

Anyway, I digress.

Have any of you seen those stickers on cars that say "Looking for your cat? Try under my tyres." or something to that effect. Yesterday, I was all bitchy so my reply was "Looking for your wife/girlfriend? Try your best friend's bed!"

And then there was one idiot who was trying to sell health thingies to my dad. He was an idiot because he started making comments to my dad when he saw my dad ordering one small bowl of laksa and one bowl of noodles. Then he started commenting on how we girls could use his products. I didn't hear what he said. If I had heard, I would have told him to "Please, please service your sour-faced wife because she looks like Satan just twisted her face before you talk about my father and his family." I would also have told him "If your product is making your wife look like the airport runway and your child look like a walking dead, then no thank you. I'd rather be smiling, happy and alive." I would have also told him "I've tried your product. It gives me gas and it is essentially a water diet. No nutrients at all. No wonder you have what looks like an undead family. As for yourself, she must have married you before she realised you were poor because you ain't nothing in the looks or behaviour department."

But my dad's comment was the best. "Come back and tell me what to do only after you've got a Mercedes like mine and 4 other cars as well."

Yes, I had a catty weekend. And I don't think it's over yet.
After years of looking at the same blog layout, today I decided to change it. I'm not sure what brought along the need for change but once I got started on it, I couldn't stop until I was done.

Yet, even now, I'm not completely satisfied with it. More changes to come, I suppose.

I have a few stories to tell. But the one that sticks most in my mind is of a girl. Technically, she is old enough to be called a woman but she seriously lacks the maturity usually associated with women. In fact, if I wanted to be more accurate, I would call her a spoilt brat. I just can't believe someone like her exists. But then, it takes many types to make this world go round and she is just another one of them.

This girl is in her mid-twenties. From what I know of her, she is an attention whore. Which explains the occupation she eventually picked for herself. Along that same vein, maybe she'll eventually get rid of the attention part and be more whore than anything else.

Anyway, before I get reduced to name-calling, the short version of the story is this. Her sister gave birth to a baby girl at about the same time I gave birth to Athena. So the baby is about 4 or 5 months right now. This girl who is in her mid-twenties (!!!) actually had a hissy fit at home because everyone was paying attention to the baby and not to her. She actually started behaving like a childish prat when her father came home and greeted the baby first because greeting her. After that, she refused to have anything to do with the baby because of all the attention everyone was giving the baby.

What kind of person gets jealous of a BABY?! Maybe she should have her head checked. And she's in her mid-twenties! A bit too old to be having a childish fit like that, don't you think? I can understand if a one year old child or even if a five year old got jealous of a baby sibling. But when a twenty-something year old aunt does it, I seriously need to wonder where her brain went to.

Anyway, last I heard of her, this girl became a stewardess. And you remember what people used to call stewardesses? Yep, high-flying whores. I won't even call them high-class because classy they are not. I used to room with an ex-stewardess. Believe me, she'd spread her legs for anyone who can afford to pay for her living style. And she used to get upset when a guy (any guy) shows no interest in having sex with her. Very egotistic them stewardesses.

But yeah, that girl boggles my mind. So her mother keeps asking my mom if my 15 year-old sister is jealous of Athena. I thought it was a very stupid question until I heard the story of that girl. She better practise safe sex because I would really hate to see how her kids turn out. Probably mentally unstable because she seems very mentally wrong.

I was so deliriously happy to see this piece of news. And to make things more whee worthy, I went and read this at the creator's own blog. American McGee's sequel to Alice, at last!!

A person I used to call my friend got me hooked on American McGee's Alice the first time. Since then, I've played it and uninstalled it and then re-installed it to play it again. Some parts give me a horrible headache because of the things we have to do to get from one point to the other. It's a little frustrating at parts but definitely not a game to play to relax. It's kinda like playing the Harry Potter games but less whiney.

I am so bloody glad the sequel is in the works. A game to look forward to!

And if you have never played Alice, do go try it. It is whacked and I think it is an excellent game.
I suddenly feel like starting a photo blog. I was thinking of using WordPress.

Something to ponder on today.
