  • prissy


    Sometimes....

    I'm tired of trying to be prim and proper...

    Making sure every entry is crisp in language, and grammar inaccuracies always fall through the cracks...

    Most of all, I miss writing nonsense without having to spend too many neurons...

  • SJH 3305 R  


    I know I haven’t been blogging on this page much, but I’m pretty much boiling at the moment so I’m choosing this outlet to rant.  

    I came into the office and posting this was the first thing I wanted to do. But after talking to my mom and a friend they told me that I am not controlling my temper well enough to let it get to me. Admittedly I felt a bit guilty after that and half-filled with remorse. The other half was of resentment. And I thought perhaps publicizing an individual’s stupidity might not be the best thing to do.  

    Then I thought about it and went... NAH... 

    Why shouldn’t I have some fun with this?  

    So here goes...



    Dear owner of the red Honda Fit with the ugly carbon race stickers plastered all over the sides, with license plate number of my blog title, please don’t think that it is acceptable behaviour to act like some NY yellow cab taxi driver and pull a four-wheel drive stunt on a turning lane onto the PIE (btw I think those cab drivers have a little more class than you as well). It’s sad that you flog your puny little Japanese car that is probably coughing and wheezing under the weight of your foot, via hazardous driving nonetheless.

    Maybe your ears were too stuffed with earwax from your lack of cleanliness when I warned you were driving a little too close to me in your first attempt with a friendly honk. Or maybe you saw the P-plate (not mine mind you, my brother who just passed) on the Odyssey’s top right corner, and a lady driver and thought you could get away with some road bullying. I admit that the Odyssey is a housewife’s car, it’s honk is too whiny to be taken seriously and the P-plate is just asking for trouble, but here’s a lesson in underestimating a lady driver. But I had to JAM-BRAKES!!! And in highway code speak that is HAZARDOUS DRIVING, and who is the one who rear ends the one cutting into the turning lane, therefore who gets the blame in motor insurance terms?  

    Let me tell you who... ME!!! Yours truly will be chided for not being a gracious enough Singaporean and give way to poseur carbon race sticker-ridden red Honda Fit.  

    I guess my feelings towards the ordeal could be reflected in my friendly gesture of the flipping of my middle digit, thanks for returning it back, way charming.  

    And it’s also my calculated guess that you couldn’t take that a lady Odyssey driver could overtake you huh? I mean, let’s be honest, an MPV wasn’t meant for racing, a Honda Fit is. So predictable.  

    How do I know your ego was damaged? I guess it was the way you raced up abreast to me (second example of hazardous driving) and started trying to hurl profanities through a closed window (obvious show of stupidity, what’s the use of screaming at someone when they can’t hear you?). Actually I thought, “Hmm, let him pull up maybe if he’s a shuaige I can tease him a bit.” No such luck, bad skin, swarthy looking, greasy, old and wearing perverted shades, as ugly as your car. Luckily for me, I was already starting to chant your license plate number in a spirited manner so I could memorise it.

    Yes, I memorized it for the sole purpose of emblazoning it across my blog entry. Congratulations, you have made such an impression on someone else to cause them to dedicate a whole blog entry talking about you. Well done, give yourself a pat on the back for bad luck.  

    You are applauded as well for your show of cowardice. How I know you were being cowardly? Maybe it was because I was chanting your number so much and you are gifted in lip reading to know what I was on about? Nah... But I think you spotting me pulling out my Blackberry in an attempt to snap a photo and slowing down and pulling away is the winning theory.  

    That was anticlimactic, I mean, what’s the use of terrorizing lady drivers when you scuttle back with your tail between your legs? Lose demerit points and some money only what!!! I bet the sum is meager compared to the amount of money you spent zhnging your puny car.  

    So ok, swarthy beng uncle with bengified car… I had my say. I forgive you for hurling profanities at me. I’m sorry I extended an inappropriate finger at you. I’m sorry I probably accentuated the urban myth that lady drivers are the worst of drivers. I'm sorry that I came away feeling just that much triumphant. I’m sorry that maybe I’d have a bias against Red Honda Fit drivers henceforth (not to mention Beemer and Mazda 6 drivers, another story for another time). And I’m also sorry I didn’t get your photo.  

    Have fun in Sepang thrashing you car!!!!!  


      Yours Truly  




    *Fine, this is not against any of my friends who love their cars and like going to Sepang to race... at least your cars are nicer...... =P

  • new pad


    Ok... so after many weeks of beating around the bush and the inability to make a decision...

    I decided to create a separate blog on Xanga dedicated to photography, it was just easier because I knew how to control and tweak how I'd like it to look.

    so... go here:

    www.xanga.com/meladegypsie

    I haven't decided whether I am going to be keeping this blog yet. But most of my updating, especially images, will be done on the new blog. =)

  • cat got your tongue?



    cat got your tongue? (by MeLa de Gypsie)

    I was answering a tag on flickr, so I decided to transfer the information here... yup, all 16 randoms about me.

    1) I thought I'd begin with the photo, the pendant dangling from my mouth is of a diamante cat that Denise sent me a couple years back for Christmas (you probably can't tell from this angle I apologise)... it was originally a keychain but I thought I'd rework it into a pendant... "I love cats" is an understatement.

    2) Those sunnies are Loewe, I got them at my recent trip in Hong Kong for a steal, I've always wanted dramatic dark shades and I was lucky to find one that suited my face shape.

    3) In my opinion (and many others'), I'm too dependent on the internet. I am one of those who will hyperventilate and overreact when I do not have internet connection where it is supposed to be working. When that happens, I will go on my long spiel about the pointlessness of having technology when it doesn't work.

    4) I have mild OCD tendencies, I like things in their proper proportions, I dislike cropping. It is entirely ironic that I had to do alot of cropping work to this photo's original to get it to look like that.

    5) My sister-in-law is about to give birth anytime... Well, the doctors said the due date is Feb 7, but it's her first pregnancy so all of us don't really know what to expect... (it's a girl =D)

    6) I sing back-up and lead worship in church, I have been doing it since I was 16, and I love doing it. But I've never sung in a choir, nor have I received formal training.

    7) It puzzles me when I tell new acquaintances I meet along the lines of my business that I have studied in Australia before and they say they can tell from my accent, because I'm certain I sound anything but Aussie.

    8) I would adopt in the future if I never have the chance to have my own children.

    9) I have semi-prophetic dreams. I don't know how they work or what triggers them. It could totally be my subconcious playing tricks on me but then again I don't know how that works either. I have promised to tell my close friends if I ever dream of them.

    10) As I'm typing I have Oak crawling all over me, I'm just trying to get her being used to being handled... and she just peed on my hoody's sleeve...that's going STRAIGHT to the laundry basket... now she's on the keyboard getting in my way of typing...

    11) I've bought my online portfolio domain, and my website has been in the works for about a year. But I suppose it WILL get done soon!!! OR ELSE!!!

    12) I believe I love my friends. I would like to use the word "love" because I believe what I feel for them runs deeper than a passing friendship.

    13) I have freckles dotting across my cheeks and nose that, ironically, my mom hates, and my friends love on me... (some of them have been photoshopped out because my complexion is really bad this week)

    14) I am in love with toys. Dunnies, Blythes, and lately... Latis... even thought they are waaay to expensive to own and upkeep. To date, I have 9 dunnies, 13 Blythes, and one shared Lati.

    15) I travel out of the country for business almost half the time, which plenty people think is glamorous and cool. In reality, it saps alot of my energy so my idea of a vacation is to actually stay at home. In a good way, the traveling makes me more appreciative of home, sweet home...

    16) I tend to get long-winded... can't you tell? lol... I took about 1 hr 14 mins to finish writing this. In between I went back to photoshop to see if I can crop this any better...


    that's all folks... it was fun... but there were almost times the cat really did get my tongue.

going by...

  • I am caught up in the ebbing tide of the inconsistencies of life. I get lost in the faceless world of strangers and get caught up in my loneliness. I need to escape the oppression and find my euphoric emancipation. I am still searching for that cure for my overtired spirit and soul.
