Hey there, and welcome to my blog at thesnappydresser! Just an avenue for me to share my thoughts on thesnappydresser (my blogshop), fashion, life, music and random ramblings ;p
... when ya just reached home and walked into your room at 2am in the morning; and the first thing ya do is to either reach for that radio to switch it on, or to turn your fan on.
Somehow the drone of your fan is a comfort to the deafening silence.
Does that make sense to ya? Haha.
I just came back from watching My Sassy Girl, and I just can't bear the silence in the night. It's like a loud humming sound to my ears. Really contradicting statement, I know. But have ya ever felt that way?
These few days I'm into the Muse mood again. Listening to all my Muse albums and watching all their live shows on Youtube. One of my favourite videos:
Muse - Plug In Baby
I have watched this video like 32847823 times and I'm still not sick of it. Luuurrrrvvve this video ALOT. Have I ever mentioned on my blog that I find guys who can sing in falsetto really sexy?
Had an eventful night. Just came back earlier in the morning from my night shift after changing my flat tyre to a second hand $45 tyre.
The hole is damn big lar. I forgot to take a picture, but I "borrowed" someone's picture of a flat tyre on Flickr to show where the hole is..
Why is the hole at the side???? I didn't strike or mount any kerbs I swear. Did somebody poke me?? Super sad the whole night while I was at work :( The hole is so big that when I placed my hand on the leak, the air coming out felt like a minature HAND DRYER. I'm not bluffing. Ya could even hear the sound going, "PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...." like a few metres away. I swear!
Gah! I drove super duper slowly to the nearest car workshop after my night shift this morning(nope I have no spare tyre, long story) and got scolded by the shop owner uncle before getting my tyre changed.
It went something like this:
ME : Uncle can repair not?
UNCLE : Whoa at the side ah! Cannot. Must change already. Cannot repair one. Confirm this one you knock one. (Upon hearing this I was abit irritated 'cause I swear I didn't strike any damn kerb. And I quite ego also haha.)
SKEPTICAL ME: I never knock lah uncle... Huh? Really? Cannot repair? How come cannot repair? I thought can repair :( (sad $$ fly away)
ANGRY UNCLE : Whether you knock one that's not the point isn't it? (Grrr then don't say I knock one lah) Tell you cannot means cannot lah! Still ask me why for what? Tell you cannot already. You people nowadays, no respect for old people like me. I work 40 years in this job, then young people like you come into my shop and start questioning me.
He went on to nag me loudly non-stop for like 5 mins. Too bad I had a flat tyre, if not I would have drove off hahaha. Getting nagged by a middle-aged man after a long night shift on top of worrying for my car is really quite intolerable. Lol.
After sweet talking to him he somewhat calmed down. Sold me a second hand Maxxis MA-T1 tyre. Made in Taiwan. Well will do for now. I had no other choice :/ Uncle also went on to tell me later(when he was in a calmer mood) why he can't fix the leak at the side. The tyre will spilt at the area of the tear. Ohhhhh. Now I know.
45 bucks poorer. How to save for Hong Kong trip with incidents like this? Haha. I know what you must be thinking, wah lao, can drive car no money buy new tyre, sure or not?
I always think that car drivers are the poorest people around. Don't talk about Ferrari car owners or racecar owners who live in 3 storey bungalows. I'm talking about commonfolk car owners in general, like me. Haha.
My colleagues always go, "Wah, Ying so rich lor, can drive car." I am poor lor. Road tax, ERP, season parking, petrol, servicing, car accessories, flat tyres now... How the hell can I be rich after emptying my pockets for all that??
You know who I think are the richest people? SINGLE guys who:
1) Don't drink; 2) Don't smoke; 3) Don't gamble; 4) Don't really go out much; 5) Don't club; 6) Don't own a car 7) Don't travel overseas much...
THOSE are the rich guys.
They keep their pool of money til one day they meet someone they like and then marry and then bam! There goes the money, lol. Marriage, car, house, children.. Think about it. No girlfriends to suck their money. Yes, ladies. Those decent bachelors are RICH. Marry them! They spend their hard earned money on nothing much, maybe a few decent hobbies or harmless Toto or 4D gambling.
Me? I'm just a poor little girl who is in love with her car and am too spoilt now to take public transport. And I hate cabbies.
Okay after a long boring rant I shall aruptly end this post with a video. Heh.
Steelheart - She's Gone
I know, nice hair right. My colleague transferred this song via Bluetooth to my phone last night. I love this song. I love love love that the vocalist can hit all those high impossible notes.
Reminded me of those times I caught this Filipino band playing in this pub in town. Every single time they play they will do a cover of this song and the vocalist sounded EXACTLY the same as Michael Matijevic in Steelheart. Sigh. This is what I call a good live band. Really miss listening to them! It's just too bad they don't play there anymore :(
