Of Mats and Minahs.
I was browsing through a friend's blog yesterday and I just had to "steal" his entry to show it to you guys. And no, I'm not trying to ridicule over my own "half-race". It's just damn funny can.
Here is it, for you 'cheena-piangs' out there :
The Complete Cheena's Guide to understanding the Mat's Lingo.
Gua [goo-wah] noun – What some mats and minahs use to call themselves. Similar in using “lu” when referring to others. A legacy that datesback to the times of Mat Rocks back in the early 80s.A common trick that can be played on Mats is to ask them to translate the English phrase “Monkey Cave” into Malay. The mat will then say“Gua Monyet” (I'm a monkey).
Mat [mat] noun – To the rest of the world, the word simply means a Malay guy. But within the Malay community itself there is a growing disparity in consensus to its actual meaning. Popularly, it's used to denote a guy who converses primarily in Malay, as opposed to the more“English speaking” types. Favourites of the mats include tapered jeans, trucker caps and weepy Malay songs with sickeningly suicidal lyrics. ( I totally dig this line.haha)
Matrep [mat-r ape] noun – An extreme version of the mat. In addition to the usual mat accessories, a matrep will also come adorned with tattoos and matching body-piercings in weird corners of his body.
Minah [mee-nah] noun – An expression used to denote a Malay female.Derived from the popular Malay name, Aminah, which used to be all the rage some time ago. It was sort of the “in-thing” to name your daughter Aminah back in the 60s and 70s. In fact, legend has it that if you go to Geylang Serai market and shout “Hai Minah!” at least aquarter of the makcik population there is going to turn around and smile at you.
Picit [pee-chet] adjective – When a mat tells you to “picit” him, it does not mean that he is trying to be cheeky (or gay, if he is talking to a fellow mat). It simply means that the mat wants you to call him on his mobile. What were you thinking?
Relaksuah [ree-lek-soo-wah] adjective – Official slogan and life motto of the mats and minahs.
Sial [see- yal ] noun / adjective – A full stop in every mat's sentence. Eg: “Tadi aku nampak accident sial Rabak sial Aku tak bedeksial Kesian sial” Translation: Just now I saw an accident (full stop)It was bad (full stop) I'm not kidding (full stop) Poor guy (full stop)
In its purest form, “sial” means “jinx” but mats have refined the art of using the word to include it at the end of their every sentence.Also comes in the more polite form “siak” and “siul” for those who do not want to sound too crude.
Skank [s-kank] adjective - A favourite weird-looking dance performed bymats and minahs. Usually done at any of the various gigs that mats and minahs love to congregate at. At times, you do detect evidence of artistry in the dance but most of the time they just look like they've been possessed by the ghost of a restless retard.
Sowie [soh-wee] adjective – An expression of apology used by minahs.Commonly used in SMS and instant messaging. Actually they can just use the word “sorry” like every normal human being but minahs think that it will make them sound extra cute to deliberately talk that way.Example : “I will be late. Sowie!”
Step [se-tep] adjective – To beguile, dissimulate or impersonate something or someone that they are not. Also commonly used to describe a fellow mat or minah who acts in an arrogant manner. E.g.“Kau jangan nakstep tak tahu eh?” Translation: Don't you dare feign innocence in this matter. Can also be used as a gerund e.g. “stepping”. See next entry. <----In the cheena world, I think "Step" is something like diao(3).
Step Jambu [se-tep jam-boo] adjective - What minahs do when they are sitting alone in a train and a group of mats walk in. It is a general exercise where the minah “controls” her facial muscles and posture in a way that would make her look her best. This would usually involve looking incessantly at her handphone for no particular reason.
Stoppit [setop-eet] adjective– A general expression of intolerance and dismay. When a minah uses this phrase, be very careful for it signals that she is about to lose her cool or get very violent.Usually directed by minahs in an annoyed manner, followed by the postfix“seh”, “siak” or “sial”. (See entry for “sial” above) Eg: Apasalngan perangai kau hari ni? Stopitsiak! Transalation : What's up with your attitude today? Enough of it already for goodness' sake!”

My Beautiful Sunday.
I love Sundays. ECP day. FBT-gang day. Blading loves. Simply go blading on a 2-hr stretch and I swear you'll feel that your thighs got tonner. I enjoy dashing against the wind on my wheels, soak in the serenity of certain "ulu" spots at ECP and people watching. Did you know that Sg's most popular family beach has a Sunset Bay? Come Feb'08, a newly renovated "playground" will be open and that fun place will be sardine-packed with professional in-line skaters, seafood lovers and chill-out junkies.
Alright, I shall, for the moment, stop raving about our ECP obsession.
Changed into our flip-flops and we made our way down to the Old Airport Road for yet another yummy dinner. It was kinda my suggesstion because I was craving for the "Durian Goreng Pisang" after reading about that famous sinful snack on Vivien's blog.
The Entrance. One of Singapore's famous hawker centre.
We were seated under a 'New Moon' brolly. *Tips-If you guys are intending to have a sumptous fare of hawker food over there, please choose seats around this area. The inside is rather cramp and stuffy. Besides, it's so much cleaner outside.
Bunchie's quenchers. Soursop, Sugarcame and Lime.
Leizy bought rojak(cha guey) for us to share. I only eat the 'you tiao' so having a whole plate just that rocks!
3-in-1 Oyster Omelette. 3 over 5 stars.
Xinlei's beef ball noodles.
There were more food on the table but we were too hungry and tired to snap. My stomach was overwhelmed with all the food and I gave the famous durian snack a pass. Damn it.
**
Pheobe's wheels with the pink ribbon and Kevin's newly bought K2 skates.
**
I never had an intention to swap my faithful w950 for any phone in the world. But I think my boy-phone needs a new girlfriend aka w580i.
And she happens to be pretty in PINK, metro pink.
You know what, I think it's just one of my usual impulsive thoughts.
*shrugs*
Or maybe...
I should jolly well just wait for the launch of Apple's iPhone in Singapore!!! haha.
=)
The difference between getting the newest device and going on using your old one is the difference between eating a wonderful meal and merely having a metabolism.

We, the members of the ECP gang
Pledge ourselves as five united damn pro skaters.
Regardless of rain, sunshine or tsunami
To build a pair of hot, sexy tonned legs.
Base on sheer strength and utmost endurance
So as to acheive, envy stares, jealous tears,
and vodka for our green tea.- © The Great ECP Gang 2008

The Last Shot.
I reckon it's about two months back since I took a picture of that beautiful "Ferris wheel"(Sg Flyer). From the day I snapped my last shot, I refused to learn/look up on any updates regarding it's construction process.
I know. Living in denial is insanely stupid. What the hell? It's freaking completed.
Am no evil bitch. I would like to share with all of you :
* Valentine's Day Package ( To all the blissful couples who would gladly enjoy an exotic, romantic escapade on that special L-O-14thFeb-V-E day. )
* Love In A Capsule ( For that bachelor and bachelorette in search for 'THE ONE' )
Everyone's talking about it and everyone knows 'Diana heart it'. I have friends in professional photography showing me all the different snapshots he captured of my favourite place. I saw pictures of it when night falls and when the scorching sun radiantly shines on it.
It hurts...to only admire from afar. I will never take a ride on it.
p/s : Give me 3 years, I'll vie for the 'Client Services' position at The Singapore Flyer instead. I did, check on career opportunities at the official website. Check it out.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see...

Still,
"Stunningly gorgeous," I'd say.

I too, want a piece of Heaven.
Someone tell me where to get the DVD please?

lalalala~ I love this acoustic version of Heaven Knows. =)
Lost love is still love, Eddie. It takes a different form, that's all. You
can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them
around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory.
Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with
it.- The Five People You Meet In Heaven -
Someone tell me where to get the DVD please?

Just another boring Wednesday
I'm still trying to consolidate all the pictures. yeap, so no updates yet. I need my own personal camera lah. How can a photo-whore like me not have her own camera!!! If I ever forget, someone please remind me that the next IT fair will be held from March 6th to 9th 2008 at "I forgot where is it". YAY. A brand new kickass camera. Just in time for Bangkok.
My 3rd sister's O-Levels result is due tomorrow. Good luck bitch.
Oh,I was bringing up the topic about going over to the States to Mummy and she was rather adamant on not allowing me to stay there... fearing of my safety and also the huge difference in time zone. Well, we'll see how.
Was thinking about my current job. I'm practically just working for the damn money. I don't know if I should continue to sign on another year or switch to something that will help me build up my resume. I want to work in the media/advertising/PR line... maybe work as an event exec for The Singapore Flyer or something. Mummy said my Dad will be sponsoring my degree so I'll have to wait till '09. While I'm "free", I've got Korean classes and tuition to fill up my spare time. Weekends are saved for shopping/blading/hanging out/movies of course.
It's the dilemma of holding on to something you are very used to or have a total change of environment and learn something new. Honestly, I really hate changes. But on the contrary, I'm also open to adapting.

On Facebook Horoscope.
I copied and paste the horoscopes of bunchie on email and analysed their personal character in what I feel they are. Of course, analysing my own as well and this is Shifu's "counter" to what he thinks of me.

The Idolsssss.
IDOL ONE :
American Idol is back for Season 7 and we can all catch it on Channel 5(same day telecast) every Wednesday and Thursday at 10pm.
HILARIOUS.
WARNING : PLEASE DO NOT DRINK OR EAT.
I've not LOL-ed that hard in a long time. I seriously wonder how did the judges TAHAN that!
Ok,
Put your hands together for Christy Lee Cook. Amazing.
**
IDOL TWO:
Jielun,生日快樂!
Feeling a little sore because I am not gonna be attending his concert later. And I know it's gonna be a blast. But it's alright. I've a hunch I'll soon grow out of the Jay Chou saga as I get older. Why? I fell-in-like with another hottie. HAH! Will talk about him next time.
**
Oh, I'm not meeting Mr.Ex for lunch.
And I can't decide on the venue tomorrow. Lunch hangout at Miss Clarity Cafe then movie at The Cathay or boardgames fun at Pitstop/Settlers/De-coders.
And... what should I wear? Hmmmm...classy? chic? cute? casual?
Picnic food suggestions anyone? To date I've got egg mayo,chix ham and hotdog buns in mind.
AND LET'S BOW TO OUR LONG AWAITED WEEKEND.
See you Monday! =)

Darn it.
In the span of 3 days, I lost my w950 stylus, dropped my pink rose quartz and nearly kissed my 4-day old Ripcurl ring goodbye.
Fucking suay. Fucking careless. Just fucking bad luck.
And now, I'm getting effing paranoid like it's some curse befalling on my last few days of being 22. If I lose my pretty Toscano next, I think I'll just jump down and kill myself.
Kidding. duh.
One more stupid working day to Saturday and boy am I excited. I've got 4 *ahem* dates to go to just on 19th itself. Ok maybe just 3 because I am still considering whether or not should I agree to accept his 'birthday lunch' date. And why is that so?
He is scaring me out of my boobs. Literally.
Ex : "You know I still remember the first time we hugged... and I actually went to purchase that Swatch couple watch we used to share last time."
Me : "HUH! FOR WHAT!"
Ex : "For memory sake... Diana you know, this lifetime you would most prob not give us a 2nd chance but if there is a next lifetime, I hope to be together with you again. I guess there is no way to win you back to my side..."
Me : "To me, memories are like denial barriers... they are there to cover any hurt that has happened in the relationship. As for the both of us, we were too young to even handle the emotional aspects of love itself. Everything is fated I guess."
blah blah. Then he was asking what are my future plans and I told him I am waiting to start on my bachelor but I have two options : To study here in MDIS or wait one year, till my Dad's CPF is out, and fly over to Oklahoma instead. Both ways, I would still be flying off to the States.
Then, he said in the most serious tone ever.
"Don't need to fly there. Marry me and be a flyboy's tai tai."
omg. What the f*ck was he thinking??!!
Ok, off work. I'm gonna try out the gym at my CC and check out the Yoga classes.

Today is Wednesday
I have this love-hate thingy with my hair again. Had the sudden urge to snip it off to shoulder length. Mum said a trim would look good but I might regret cutting it too short. Well, I'd most prob visit Hairprofile or ColorBar after CNY and decide from there.
It's 20 for my 2nd sister today. Happy birthday.
I freaking lost my phone's stylus. =( I knew this was gonna happen one day because it was not "gripping hard" and it always gets "lost" in my bag compartments. Ever since the last time I accidentally dropped it at Vivo(had to track my steps to find it back), I have been extra cautious whenever I use the stylus. Still, I ended up losing it. Frustrating. Now, I'm depending on my fingernails to sms/navigate until I get a replacement.
**
That crazy, emotionally unstable ex sms-ed me earlier this morning.
Ex : So what do you want for your birthday?
me : huh? aiyah I don't need anything. Birthday wishes alone brings a smile to my face.
Ex : What can I do to get your heart back...?
urgh.
**
CNY is in 3 weeks. An advice for those who have not bought new year clothes yet : START SHOPPING NOW. Seriously. You know you'll need ample time to try on those dresses and new shoes. Why succumb to last minute shopping, get hustled in the crowd and end up buying stuffs you might regret later on? HAH! I got smarter this year. My CNY shopping - DONE.
新年 means it's time to start cleaning up my damn-ed room. I bet I'll procrastinate till end of the month(a week before CNY). Things are piling up on my bedroom floor.My bed needs a set of new bedsheets. Browsed through room layouts at delias.com.
SO PRETTY CAN!!! I LIKE ALL OF THEM.

Rainy Monday.
6 more days to-officially getting a year older.
BOO.
Honestly, I do not feel as youthful as before. Turning 23 is almost like being 17. At 17, you feel a sense of maturity over your Sec 4 friends, yet, still very much a teenager hoping to fast forward to legal 18. But when the BIG 2 steps into your life, confusion starts again. Should I continue behaving like a teenager? dress like a teenager? Or should I start acting all grown up since I'm gonna be an adult soon.
I wished I stayed forever 21. The best age. Don't you agree? They say age catches up with you once you reach your twenties. I was thinking about that recently and came up with a conclusion or should I say consolation. When we were in our teens, our lives revolved around our studies, friends, idols, hanging out after school,BGR,TV etc. Time didn't seem to fly. But as 21 approached us, we start hogging our minds about our future, getting the damn degree, being a working individual, financial stuffs, panicking over finding a good stable guy, adult acne aka 2nd stage of puberty(damn it. yes I have huge pimples on my face now.), career etc. With all these added responsibilities, made us feel as if we were running short of time to acheive everything in life. And now, 23, even worse...2 more years to stepping into the much hated adult mid-life crisis at 25. Argh.
So, let us all embrace our age. Screw the passe 'a woman's age is always kept a secret' phrase. What matters is how well you lived your life and not the number of candles on your birthday cake.
Anyway, I was thinking of having a party to celebrate me getting old. I had the guest list drawn up in dec last year, thought of the perfect theme, scouted for a birthday cake, looked around for the best venue etc. But as 2008 began, I lost the zest and found it pretty pointless to make a big hoo-ha over my 23rd. haha. I gave myself an excuse of not being able to entertain all my friends fairly so thus, the bash is scrapped. Whatsoever, I'm anticipating for this upcoming weekend. I don't need any fancy birthday- themed party or expensive gifts. Just a yummy birthday cake with the company of my loveliest friends will be perfect.
But but,
Maybe this limited CNY edition Swatch watch would be nice.
Mummy~!!! I WANT! hahahahaha.

我想起了你给我的感动
想起我们之间的温柔
我想起了我们第一次牵手
我闭上眼
想起当时你许下的承诺
把你整个心都交给我
然而到后来我什么都没有
当你离开的时候
6 more days to-officially getting a year older.
BOO.
Honestly, I do not feel as youthful as before. Turning 23 is almost like being 17. At 17, you feel a sense of maturity over your Sec 4 friends, yet, still very much a teenager hoping to fast forward to legal 18. But when the BIG 2 steps into your life, confusion starts again. Should I continue behaving like a teenager? dress like a teenager? Or should I start acting all grown up since I'm gonna be an adult soon.
I wished I stayed forever 21. The best age. Don't you agree? They say age catches up with you once you reach your twenties. I was thinking about that recently and came up with a conclusion or should I say consolation. When we were in our teens, our lives revolved around our studies, friends, idols, hanging out after school,BGR,TV etc. Time didn't seem to fly. But as 21 approached us, we start hogging our minds about our future, getting the damn degree, being a working individual, financial stuffs, panicking over finding a good stable guy, adult acne aka 2nd stage of puberty(damn it. yes I have huge pimples on my face now.), career etc. With all these added responsibilities, made us feel as if we were running short of time to acheive everything in life. And now, 23, even worse...2 more years to stepping into the much hated adult mid-life crisis at 25. Argh.
So, let us all embrace our age. Screw the passe 'a woman's age is always kept a secret' phrase. What matters is how well you lived your life and not the number of candles on your birthday cake.

I AM BACK.
Just in case you guys were wondering where have I disappeared to, yup, blame it on my weak immune system, I fell sick and had to stay home for the past 3 days. boo. But, it was a well-deserved rest for I have been working my ass off for the past two months. 2008 isn't gonna be a that smooth sailing I bet. With my new school term in a few months and all the new activities I got myself into...
So I decided to finally make full use of my pretty pink organizer I bought.
I meticulously planned my weekly schedule CAN. So damn proud of myself.
It wouldn't be overly busy... yet, it's not too slack. Kinda like in the middle. Right to date I've got tuition classes packed on weekend mornings and Monday nights. Eng, Maths, Creative writing and Chinese. I'm most confident only in teaching Chinese. Please don't ask me why.
I think it's bloody fated. I have a Thai student in my creative writing class and her name, is coincidentally Sok Hoon...her surname? Tay. I have no qualms calling out her name in class(yup it's still of a different spelling), but there's just this unexplainable feeling somehow lah. What's ironic is that pretty Sok Hoon made it to the list of my most lovable student just by flashing her innocent cute smile. Never mind her other noisy and attention-grabbing friends(also from Thailand), her personality outshone them. She told me her favourite colour is blue and her birthday's in January. I still remember why I grew to like her alot. Before she left the classroom after my first lesson with her, she came up to me and courteously said, "Bye bye Miss Diana, thank you so much for teaching us today. Bye bye... see you next week." Come to think of it, I wasn't that polite when I was at her age.
How sweet right.
Oh, I hate talking about January because January would mean that I am about to turn a year older. Fucking 23. Argh.Partied away into Stef's 23rd last Saturday with Meiyi, Mark and Timothy at MOS. Fun fun. I wouldn't call myself an avid clubber but I do enjoy 'dancing like I've never danced before' once in a blue moon. I only club on occassions so please rid that 'chiongster' label off my sexy pout. Thanks ar. And ever since the last Sho'Down I went like ions ago which was one hell of a party, I gladly proclaim - last Saturday's SMOOVE WAS SICK! Non-stop pumping of RnB and all the latest dance hits. Great DJ(dunno who's the DJ though). I LIKE.
**
Stef forgot to bring along her camera to the dancefloor so we ended up taking pictures only after all the mad clubbing near her block. Had to cam-whore infront of Tim's car to make the birthday pictures not too unglam.

I wanna take you away
Let's escape into the music, DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rockin' to it
Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

2008 is the Year of the Rat.
Finally. After a 2 day wee morning marathon on A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, I completed the last drama-mama episode.
I was procrastinating blogging an entry for the new year, because I don't know where or how should I start...
In 2007,
I attended the concert of the year - Rain's World Tour.
I had the most unforgettable 22nd birthday.
I blushed on hearing a song composed specially for me.
I illegally drove around the neighbourhood.
I celebrated Valentine's Day with 3 guys.
I cruelly broke a heart.
I made many new lovely friends.
I went to so many places I've never been before.
I caught a beautiful sunset.
I was the happiest girl.
I adopted my first pet hamster and named him Peach.
I got my heart broken by a boy I affectionately called love.
I felt my world crumble down and cried like I never cried before.
I selfishly thought of ending my life.
I lied alot.
I went through an emotional roller coaster ride with my BFF.
I saw my best friend tear right in front of me.
I watched Gwen Stefani live at Kallang's Indoor Stadium.
I conquered Nicoll Highway by feet.
I bonded with Bunchie.
I fell out with a friend.
I shared a dark secret.
I ate mooncakes and lit up lanterns at West Coast Park.
I partied at Zouk during Halloween.
I nearly snipped off my long hair and dyed it pink.
I attended a wedding and was one of the jie meis.
I voted Stardust as movie of the year.
I had a virgin attempt in baking cheesecake and cooked cha jjang myeon for bunchie.
I buried dearest Peach.
I aced my last two modules and officially completed my course of study.
I took up inline skating.
I fell and bleed countless of times.
I prayed for the tragedy of 5 dragon boaters.
I went camping on Christmas Eve and ate my very first log cake.
I tore a precious photo.
I taught Creative Writing for my very first tuition assignment on New Year's Eve.
I received a new year greeting from a very unexpected person - my dad.
I had a peaceful countdown at home with me, myself and I.
Not once did I regret any decision made or anything that happened in 2007. I am thankful for everything and everyone who crossed my path.
This time, I forgo listing out any new year resolution. Let fate play its part and I'll take things as it comes, be it good or bad.
Happy 2008. May this upcoming year be showered with bountiful surprises. Stay pinky healthy and fill your days with lots of smiles. loves. =)
