Mad Maid 2 (Sequel)

10 minutes ago, my maid gave the family another shock.

My (big) brother was downstairs alone, watching tv, when my maid's alarm clock started ringing in her room. In a normal situation, an alarm clock is set to wake a person up. It would usually take the person awhile to hear the alarm and turn it off, but in this case, the alarm just kept ringing, which got my brother irritated.

The doors were closed, so he didn't dare to check on her. My brothers came to me, since I'm a girl and all, it's safer for me to go kick her door down.

We yelled for her name, but there was nobody there.
Okays.

First Panic, did the maid faint or something?

I yanked the door opened and I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.
There was nobody there.
We checked the toilets, the kitchen, backyard, bedrooms, and porch.
No sight of the maid at all.

Second Panic, where did she disappear to?

I shouted for my parents, who were already asleep, locked up in their room. I knocked hard on their door, and my dad came out looking cranky.
You know how my brain malfunctions on Panic Mode, and my dad's cranky face made me even more scared.
To hit him out of cranky and into alert mode, I summarised the whole search party episode into 1 sentence:
"THE MAID IS MISSING!" in a I'm-freaking-out-so-what-to-do face.

My mom's a light sleeper, obviously she heard me talking at the top of my voice, thinking that it'd be easier to drill the message into my parent's sleepy heads.

I stammered the search party that my brothers and I formed and went back into action, allowing my parents some time to digest and think of a solution.

It's obvious that the maid is out of the house, cuz I found the set of keys in the kitchen missing.
My (big) brother decided to make a trip out to check if she's hiding somewhere.

He walked to the left, and I walked to the right.

Just two blocks away, parked a van owned by a family who does catering. I wanted to give up when I thought the coast was clear, but somehow, my instincts told me that something was behind the van.

Bingo!
She was there, squating behind the van, not noticing my existence beside her, while she carefully peeps over to see if we were still roaming around the gates.

I kinda gave her a shock, cuz she wasn't expecting anyone beside her, or maybe she thought I was a spirit, or maybe the blackmagic was back, or.... you know what I mean.

I walked back to the house to find the entire family standing at the porch with faces of expectation, as if they were waiting for my catch after returning from hunting.

My parents' brain just woke up from sleep mode, so they'll do the questioning another day.
My (big) brother was the most curious one of all, questioning her about her wherebouts, and she just smiled and laughed (shyly) her way through.

This is the most problematic maid we've ever engaged.

My house is getting alot more exciting with this maid around.
I'll miss all the excitement/commotion when I go to Australia.

What Happens...

What happens when you put a Super Stressed up Sheena in a Shopping Sale Season?

I left my house at 3pm, planning to return an hour after buying a universal adapter for my Australia trip that only cost less than $4.
I ended up leaving Vivo at 7pm, spending $4 on the universal adapter, plus $400 more in Zara, Pull&Bear, Forever21, and MNG Sale.

I just realised how scary I get when I decide to use Retail Therapy as a mean to Relieve Stress.

*Poof!* goes half of the extra $1000 my dad gave me this month for my Australia necessity shopping.

I was alone, there was nobody to stop me, until I receive a call from my mom asking me to go home, then I realise how many shopping bags I have on hand.
Suddenly, I woke up to find reality hitting me hard in my wallet/bank account. I put back the clothes I was about to bring into the fitting room, and headed straight for the exit and into the bus stop immediately.

I'm guessing it must be TVXQ's inactivity recently that got me stranded with no where to let out my frustrations. I began searching for an alternative, where I find myself venting it on my wallet.

TVXQ better reappear soon with something new for me to go crazy over, otherwise my temper/stress would soon get out of hand.

My Thanks and No Thanks

I do have a few Thank yous to say before ranting off with my complaints again.

Firstly, I would like to thank my family, especially my mother. Because after yesterday, I do realise that when there really is a need for me to spread good news about myself, I can't think of anyone else other than my family first.

Well, partly because it kinda concerns my brother (kor), which is why I refused to call anyone else, trying to contain my eagerness, all the way until I get home.

It started on a Monday night, where I lay on my bed, trying to get some sleep. That night, the moon was really bright and there were hardly any clouds around. That night was particularly memorable because from where I was lying, I could see the moon directly from the window, shining moonlight onto my face.
I thought to myself, "This has to be an omen for tomorrow."

Anyways, the next morning, I was awakened gradually by the heaviness in my heart. I wasn't able to laze in bed as long as I wanted to because since the moment I wake up into light-sleep mode, I could feel tension rising from my chest as the sun rises to noon.

I unwillingly dragged my feet off the bed and got myself ready for a journey that just might be the last for me.
During that torturous 40mins bus ride, I found myself constantly taking in deep breaths to calm myself down. I was 5 mins late.

The instructor came to me, asked me for my important documents and gave me instructions. The 1.5hrs before-death-warm-up-session time was totally chaotic for me. I felt like a pig waiting in line to be slaughtered by the farmer, I don't want to meet death so soon, but neither do I want to stay in that horrifying place any longer.

During this time, I would like to thank John Grisham, for putting my mind off the slaughtering as I read "A Time To Kill". How appropriate. I was trying to kill some time.

When the head farmer called my name, I was escorted to my car by an old farmer, balding pretty badly with a wrongly positioned goatee that was all grey and white.
Behind my wheel, I needed something to calm myself down. As I watch the old farmer place a L plate in the front of the car, I noticed his hairy mole on the chin, camouflaged in his goatee. Somehow, I felt lighter at this thought and the rest of the journey was smoother than imagined.

Death turns out to be Heaven, thanks to the old farmer, Mr. Ong.

He then gave me a debrief with only 1 sentence, "Please check your mirrors earlier in the future."
And before I could warm my seat, he said, "You may go now."
He handed me my results slip and I saw Paradise.

All in all, Mr Tan, my instructor, is the one person I am most grateful for the results I have today. I would recommend all BBDC students to switch to G1103 if you would like to pass your TP with flying colours.
*Disclaimer: If you do fail, don't blame Mr. Tan or myself, because I must admit, I have a flair at this, so you should listen with discretion." *

I Finally Won my kor in something!
He took the test twice because he strike the curb twice in his first attempt.
WooHoo!!!
Right in his face!!

Next, I would like to say No Thanks to so many people who "put my aeroplane" for the past few days/weeks.
I do hope everyone realises that I am super busy right now, with all the preparation to Australia still undone.
Do not plan something, and decide on the day before/itself that you are not turning up or the plan is to be cancelled without even informing me.

Hope everyone who is going to be meeting me as of today until my departure, realises that I am making time specially for the meetings, and I do have more important things to handle, except that I choose to put it off because I know how much the meeting will mean to both parties.

Do note that this "No Thanks" message applys to EVERYONE, and not just particularly anybody, because I've got so many aeroplanes flying already.

Anyways, I have loads of pictures to upload, but I shan't do it now, since I pretty held up. I am actually typing this while making phonecalls and emails to settle my accommodation shit for Australia.
Sian.

I don't normally dl radio ripped songs, because the quality is bad, but I can't help it for this one. It's excellent!
TVXQ - Why Did I Fall In Love With You (どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう?)
どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう? - DBSK
An awfully long Japanese Title, which I'm too lazy to englishfy it for everyone.
I just love the song.

Tag Replies

I don't do this, but one tag hit me hard, and I thought to myself, I'll need a pretty long composition to reply to this one.

cw: what if tvxq disbands one day?

Honestly, that will depend on when that "one day" is gonna be.

If it's anytime soon, I'll lose my goal in life: To see TVXQ perform live in front of me.
My other goals would be:
To see them in person,
To look at Jung Yunho and be swept off my feet because he's just too drop dead gorgeous,
For Junsu to serenade me (and maybe a few thousand other people).

So if they ever do disband in this phase of my life, I'll lose all directions in life and find myself is despair, failing to find enthusiasm in anything I do.

Yes, it's that exaggerating, and I'm drop dead serious. They are that important, or particularly just afew of them (at this moment).

I might even cry for more than 3 days 3 nights and refuse to eat and sleep just because TVXQ is no longer together. Because the bond between the 5 people is so special that it seems impossible for them to ever break-up.

You might think that there will be a day they would wanna venture out on their own, but I seriously think that none of them will achieve as much alone as what they are now. They have their sunbaes (seniors) as an example, and none of them are ready for solo projects yet.

Plus, they are making more money for the company as a group than individually, so I think that their money-minded boss wouldn't be so dumb to break them up and kill his cash-cows.

Then again, they might follow their sunbae Shinhwa's footsteps and not disband, but just separate for a long time for their own solo projects. It won't hit me as hard as disbanding, because separation is usually more gradual and not obvious until a long while, but I'll still heartbreak when I finally realise that I'd be waiting fruitlessly for another TVXQ project.

BUT if they ever decides to go solo or separate, my heart lies with Yunho. I'll be his loyal fan for as long as I can be.
And if Yunho decides to stay away from the limelight, I'll support according to my TVXQ Favourites List, where Yoochun will forever be No.5 or lower.
Yunho Rocks!

qp: ARRRGGGHHH! i've completely forgotten abt his birthday! (seriosuly, i only rem my changmin de)! LOL! omg.. he looks hot in all photos! HOT MICKY! YOOCHUN ROCKS

Why am I not surprised?
Even if you're not too busy dating, you'd still have forgotten it.
Haiz... please don't do this to TVXQ anymore... I feel painful for Yoochunnie.

fellyo: i think pic 2 n 3 of mickey are actually passable! ok, n 1 n 4. but ur main pic right at top of him is sad. at least i think he is torlerable now. happy? haha

No worries, I've dropped Yoochun so low now that I'm bearly interested in him at all.
Mostly due to the horrible hair that he has now. I won't wanna spoil your already dying enthusiasm with his horrible hair pictures.

Not Excited

I'm flying off in less than 2 weeks time and I'm not feeling excited at all.

School is confirmed, Visa done, accommodations still on-hold, and luggage unpacked.

I think I see the problem.
For the past 1 month, the only topic my mom can talk about is my Australia trip. Everyday, I get the same questions, and same advices, that I'm sick of hearing anything about the trip already.
She thinks that I'm incompetent when handling the procedures of all my applications, thats why things keep dragging. And when I try to be competent, she says that I'm not discussing it with her.

I've also repeated myself countless of times to friends/relatives, and I'm gonna have alot more repeating to do for the rest of my days in Singapore.
Thank goodness I don't consider myself having too many friends, but I do have alot of "I-want-details-although-I-already-know-them" relatives that I'll be meeting next weekend.
And when I get back during my vacation, I'll have alot more explaining to do.
Damn!

Anyways, enough of ranting and time for some official updates.
Since alot of people are asking, I shall clarify here.
(Hope ppl reads this b4 the bbq)

Na's flight to Brisbane is on the 1st of July 2008, departing at 9.25pm (Singapore Time), Terminal One (Qantas).

erm... yes, I did complained about Qantas in my previous Australia vacation, but SIA is fully booked by the time my mom decides to make a decision. I might make her buy SIA tickets for my next flight.

If anyone has large long sleeve decent looking clothes/winter clothes to donate, do holler as Na is in need for enough clothes to last a season in Australia.

And stop ordering Crispy Cremes!
I'm not even there yet and I have enough orders to DHL them back already!
and don't trust that I'll remember any of the orders 5months later!

hmm.. that's about it for now.
I feel much better letting some steam off.

Na's throat hurts ALOT!

I've been really lazy to blog until I found this:

First it was Junsu, and now....

"Na has officially fainted into a coma, due to excessive screaming.
In addition, Na has lost her voice. She's suffering from a sore throat and her voice sounds more husky than when Junsu sings."

For Five Whole Minutes, I can't take my eyes off that video. Not even for 0.00001 second.

12hours ago, I was telling sab that this will never happen because my sweetheart is too conservative.


Well, he did went to button up the bottom to keep his shirt on/off.
It's a start.
Junsu's act must have influenced him... I just need 1 more member to strip to encourage my darling to give us all he's got.

This is better than a nosebleed.
I'm sleeping with my eyes wide open and mind unsettled.

Happy Birthday ^^

Today is Yoochun Day!!I'm guessing nobody remembers because he's probably many people's (as in in Na's TVXQ Friendlist) No.5.
Anyways, Dandy Boy still deserves all the LOVE just because he's from TVXQ.
All 5 of them, no more, no less, will forever be TVXQ.Thank you for all the wonderful songs you've contributed. He's the best composer and pianist in TVXQ!The Virginia Boy. Thank you for all the Yoosu moments! My 2nd favourite TVXQ Couple!!I'm displaying all Yoochun at his best (in Na's context) here to prove to all that Yoochun deserves to be TVXQ!Therefore, Saengilchukahamnida Yoochun Oppa!

Nosebleeeeed

It was only for a few days (less than 3 days) I've not been visiting Soompi (a Kpop fan forum) and when I went back, I saw the most heart-racing, blood gushing, goosebump-ing video.
This video kept me awake the entire night yesterday.

Here it goes.
TVXQ went to Shanghai for their 'O' Concert Asia Tour (A tour that stretched into a year) on the 30th May.
As usual, they sang in Korean, and did their solo stage.

and Junsu definitely made the headlines this time.
It's pretty hard to use words to describe my feelings after watching this video.
I'm still recovering from aftershock (after more than 24hrs later).
(You might want to turn down your volume and ignore the screams, or like me, my scream drowned everything you're hearing in max volume.)

One word: Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because of this video, Soompi is back into another roar of hot-blooded horny fangirls cleaning up their drools and nosebleeds.
Me included.
I'm even taking panadol to urge my head from splitting because my heart is beating in lightning speed.
Okays, exaggerated.
But it is really that Drastically Big Deal to all TVXQ fans, Junsu's fan especially.

Thank Goodness Junsu is only No.2.
I think I might faint and go into coma if Yunho ever does that.

Bigger Bang

Yikes!

I found a new Hot Dancer!
or more like I only just noticed him....

Taeyang - Prayer & Look at only me

Ignore the English title... they are Koreans.
I always knew Taeyang was a sexier dancer than Seungri, but I've never taken notice since he's short, quiet and less cute.
But this performance Hit Me Hard!
I've been missing out on alot of Taeyang's talent.
He's not as tall as Yunho but he can still work it out.

Taeyang - Look at only me (MV)

With, the rest of Big Bang cameo, according to order of appearance, G-Dragon, Seungri, Daesung and TOP.

Taeyang - Prayer (MV)


It's not just Taeyang's solo projects that got me into the Banging mood. I've been smitten quite awhile ago.
TOP is too much of an eye-candy in the korean drama called I am Sam.
A friend asked for a review of TOP's acting... I was like, there's nothing to review except that he looks Smexy in the entire show. Mainly because he has almost no lines and because he's suppose to act as a tough fighter, with his face, he wldn't have to act to look fierce. Yeps, so he's pratically expressionless (don't be mistaken, he had to look fierce) throughout the entire show.
So what's there to review except how Hot he looks.

BigBang - With U (Jap MV)

Once again, ignore the english (and TOP's cornhead).
They're trying to break into the Jap Market with only 1 member (Taeyang) who speaks Jap. So they could only use the universal language to spread their songs.
YG Entertainment doesn't notice that Koreans in Japan takes the effort to learn the country's culture and language before being too ambitious. And they overestimated their proficiency in English.
So forgive their ignorance and enjoy the view. You'll feel much better that way.
Besides, Big Bang is trying their hardest. They are not to be blamed.

Which reminds me... I've not reviewed on Qp's AATVXQ 1&2.
Now that the maid is back. Gimme a week's time and I'll get it out asap.
