I reckon December's my suay month. Audrey says I shouldn't use the word suay because it's a bit too strong! But then, I really don't know how else to describe it. It's not that I believe in luck or whatever you call those superstitious practices/beliefs.. it's just that a lot of crap always seems to happen to me right around the month of December, especially more so during the Christmas period! ):

I could make a list of all the crap that happens to me every year right around this time.. but I'm not that wu liao and I don't exactly want to re-live all those depressing moments so I'll just rant about what happened yesterday.

I woke up feeling rather crap yesterday because my right eye was so damn painful. The culprit was a little red thingie growing on the rim of my eyelid, underneath the back bit. It's small and red and swollen. And it even hurts to blink. Jason says it looks like a pimple but I don't think so. I just hope it's nothing sinister. I don't want to go blind or die yet. Please. But I don't exactly like walking around looking hideous either. So it's a lose-lose situation for me. Thus, I'm pretty depressed over it. It looks slightly better today but you can still see a tiny bump on my eyelid.

Then while I was brushing my teeth last night, to my horror, I found a tooth growing at the back on the left side of my mouth, on the gums. It's a freaking wisdom tooth! (or so I think.) I was on the verge of going ape-shit because:
(1) the tooth is growing out of alignment with the rest of my teeth
(2) i can predict that extreme pain is yet to come
(3) it's going to affect the rest of my teeth and ruin my braces-ed teeth.
This tooth is anything but wise, I tell you. It's a stupid tooth. And that goes the same for any other future 'wisdom' teeth that I may have. By the way, can anyone pretty please tell me how many teeth an adult homo sapien is supposed to have, biologically speaking? It's 32, isn't it?
16 top and 16 bottom?
Anyway, so that's the end of my little ranty.
Two horrifying incidents in less than 24 hours.
Life sucks during times such as these.

I just can't wait for the year to be over!

Honestly, people like me should remain single and isolated forever.

Because I'm so hard to please, I've made my own life a living hell.

But of course, the inner being within me will continually refuse to accept spinsterhood.

Because I hate sleeping alone in the dark.

My thoughts are a mess at the moment:
Sometimes, I just find it so hard to cope with imperfections. I find it so hard to accept another's imperfections. I try not to bear a grudge and hold it against them. Other times, I just find it so hard to cope with my imperfections. And I really try not to rage over it.

But more often than not, I find myself in an extremely bittersweet disposition.

I don't know if it's entirely my fault. That it's because of my nature - my unforgiving and intolerant nature - that has led me to be so unhappy with so many different people at times.

When I think about how thoughtless a person is. It angers me.

When I think about how inconsiderate a person is. It enrages me.

When I think about how rude a person is. It just pisses me off.

When I think about how stupid a person is. It just makes me mad.

When I think about how a person doesn't even realize how thoughtless/inconsiderate/rude/stupid he or she has been.
It annoys me even more.

How can any one person possibly act and behave in such a foul manner and yet not even realize the consequence or effect of his/her actions on him/herself and on the others around him/her?

How can a person like that even exist?

It just never ceases to amaze me.

I woke up at 6am today for my very first early morning gym workout. It was a rather exhausting and painful experience. Jason made me do weights and cardio with him.
I'll admit that gymming isn't really my cup of tea. It isn't particularly exciting or fun and I don't feel especially pumped up while working out. But I did feel rather refreshed and accomplished afterwards, especially after a hot shower in the locker rooms.

I'm sort of aching all over right now and some of my "muscles" are a little sore. But I'll live through it.
I wouldn't mind going back again if it means that I'll be able to level up and gain a few strength points. (:

Oh, and we finally watched Casino Royale at Skycity cinemas. It was pretty good, in my opinion. I quite enjoyed the script and plot. The acting wasn't too bad either. But I especially liked the introduction. I thought it was brilliant - the creativity and arty animation.

Overall, I'd give it a 8/10.

But I must say that I don't quite fancy the new James Bond. Nothing against Daniel Craig. He's very talented, yes. But I reckon that he just doesn't quite look the part. The whole blonde hair and blue eyes thing.. well, it doesn't quite appeal to me, sorry! ):

I want the Little Miss series tee-shirts sold at Lippy.
Apparently, they're not only exclusive but really expensive too.

(NZ$59.90 per tee-shirt)

Made in the USA.

I blame it on the exchange rate.

So we're going through change.
Here are three lessons from large corporations to help you survive change..

Corportate Lesson #1

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow and asked him, "Could I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"
The crow answered, "Sure, why not?"
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared.. jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story is.. to be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Corporate Lession #2

A turkey was chatting to a bull.

"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally, after a fortnight, there he was, proudly perched at the top of the tree.

Soon, he was spotted by a farmer, who promptly shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story is.. bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Corporate Lesson #3

A bird was flying south during the winter. But it was so cold that the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him!

The morals of this story are..
Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut.
