over Chinese New Year, Martian kept going around asking all his friends and family, “do you know the secret to a happy life?”
everybody will just layan him and go, “okay what?”
then he will say… “the secret is a good night’s sleep.” and this is the cue for him to start singing praises about the new Tempur pillow he just bought that apparently improves his sleep quality by x100000. and then he will start talking about this new mattress that he also just bought that is super comfortable and extremely nice to sleep on.
aiyahhhh. who needs Tempur and an overpriced mattress (but it’s really damn comfortable lah, i will give him that!) when you have ………
Chipster!
actually to be honest, the one thing i sleep best with is my boyfriend. but when he’s not with me, Chipster is a pretty good replacement! it keeps me safe and warm and loved until i’m back in the arms of the strong and handsome Martian wtf.
better yet, i can stick his picture on the pack of chips and pretend he’s here with me!!!
and THEN EVEN BETTER YET, i can eat them chips!!! boyfriend where can eat.
and that is why i sleep better with Chipster. the end. byebye.
hahahahahhaha this has to be the weirdest post i’ve ever written. i know lah i know lah, it’s not as creative as the other ‘I Sleep Better With Chipster’ posts out there.. but i’m telling you it’s not funny how much time i spent yesterday and today preparing for some ideas that i eventually scrapped because i couldn’t find the necessary props :( like yesterday, i stayed up till 6am trying to think of a good idea for this themed post. but then i thought, why the heck am i losing sleep over a post that is supposed to be about how well i’m sleeping? doesn’t that quite defeat the purpose?! and so i ate a pack of Chipster and went to sleep :P
this post is written for tickets to The Nuffnang Pajama Party, which will surely be a blast because ……. i’m organizing it. hehe. i’m really, really, REALLY excited and i can’t wait to party with all the other bloggers who will be there :) this is going to be the biggest blogger meet Malaysia has ever seen!
if you haven’t written your post to win tickets to the party, HURRY UP AND WRITE IT! (NOTE: the deadline has been extended to the 8th of March!) cmon lah, quirkiest post wins a Nintendo Wii okay!! best pajamas wins an iPod Touch and of course there is that grand prize of a Macbook for the most Chipster packs in one picture.
some of my favorite ‘I Sleep Better With Chipster’ posts:
1. Waffle, who is Nuffnang’s programmer. haha remember the recent Nuffnang crash?!
2. Suanie, hilarious as always!
3. Eyeris, an anonymous blogger who used toy spuds as his post’s protagonist :P
4. Kimberlycun, whose idea was so innovative!
5. David Lian, who is winning the Best Pajamas prize FOR SURE
6. Jolene, ever the good storyteller! check out her 7-11 picture! damn funny
7. Shaolintiger, whose punchline gave me the giggles for the whole day
8. Michelle, cos she thinks she’s Sailor Moon and cos she’s soooo cute
9. Thomas, who cheated and cleverly went to the supermarket to pose with all the Chipster packs! damn smart right!
10. Kenny Sia, just for that picture of him lying on the bed like a beached mermaid… hahaha!
any other funny Chipster posts out there? tell me tell me!
and also tell me what you’re going to be wearing to the party!!! :D *excited* as for me, i already have my outfit picked out. not by choice….. here’s a conversation i had with Martian a while ago:
Me: so Nuffnang is going to have this pajama party, and it’s going to be so much fun, and i’m organizing it, i’m thinking of the games right now, what games would you play at a slumber party? what food would be good? ahhh i’m so excited blablablabla
Martian: what are you wearing?
Me: i’m thinking maybe my blue slip. or the brown one… or maybe the white one..
Martian: CANNOT. SLIPS ARE TOO REVEALING.
Me: then what you want me to wear! jammies ah! i dont have any, remember?
so… guess what i got for Valentine’s Day? :\
me covered head to toe :\
actually i really really like these jammies :) they’re fuzzy and very comfy, and like any gift from Martian, i love them to bits! even if he’s so cunning!!! now i can’t say i don’t have jammies to wear to the party. sigh why is my boyfriend like this.
what i usually wear to bed:
my brown satin slip which is really nice to sleep in. that’s Pooch i’m holding btw!
one of the many shirts i stole from Martian! i used to sleep in these during those cold Hong Kong nights
shorts and a tee for when i’m at home. hahaha this Star Wars tee is practically a legend. my friends used to make fun of me all the time, because everytime they came over, i’d be wearing this same tee :\
okay lah since my usual sleepwear is not allowed by Martian’s standards, and i’m definitely not wearing Anakin Skywalker on my chest to a party because he later grew up to be a real jerk and broke Natalie Portman’s heart… i guess i’m gonna be wearing my new pink jammies :)
lastly, i want to say that organizing this party and - in the midst of planning - having to talk about Chipster ALL THE TIME is making me crave Chipster practically every day. it’s tough. i keep eating and eating and eating. at least at the Pajama Party, the Chipster chips there are gonna be in endless supply and FREE :D

i had this dream last night. in this dream everything was right. it was so believable and so comfortable and so perfectly indestructible. when i woke up, i was alone. i grasped the pillow next to mine and pretended i was holding his hand. then i fell back into sleep and - to my delight - resumed my dream, though not exactly where i left off. in this dream, he talked to me the way he would talk to me, but also in a way that he wouldn’t. he touched my hair in a way i’ve never known. there was this buzz and this high. the smell of white and the crunch of gravel. he loved me and i loved him too.

every now and then, i catch glimpses of my other life. in the pockets of trenchcoats, and kitchen counters, and rainy evenings while i watch myself sleep, and starbucks sleeves, and bunches of asparagus, and sidewalks, and hair pinned up messily. then my heart aches, and i stop to breathe. and i am back here, here in this real life, this first life, this familiar life, this only life.
i have a life that i love. yet, i still dream of that other life. i still ponder upon it wistfully. a hat drop, and i can have that life; a stone’s throw, and it is mine. i marvel at the ease and the quickness at which this other life can be obtained. sometimes i want to test this ease; i want to see if it’s really as obtainable as it seems to be. but will i regret the repercussions? i dont know what i will lose. and what do i gain.. do i gain the satisfaction of my curiosity, or do i gain a whole new life and purpose that i would never want to leave?
and what is to become of this real, first, familiar, only life that i know now? i will eventually discard it, i suppose. forget it, move on, start over; like a beautiful amnesia that, in the process of recovery, i forget i’m having.
would it make me amoral if i made promises with the knowledge that i have another life out there that is the antithesis of everything i am crossing my heart with? i know what i want but i keep bluffing myself. as if it makes me happier to know that i can hijack so many different paths and identities. everything i will be is a million light years away. what am i doing now?
February 21st, 2008
my Valentine’s Day began with such excitement and romance!
i woke up to…………. a phone call by Timothy Tiah who was emoing about the fact that the general election was announced that very morning, and that it’s going to be held on the 8th of March, which is the same date as our Nuffnang Pajama Party. which means we have to postpone the party. sigh, so romantic right. actually, no, i just remembered that emo election conversation was the second time he called me.. the first time he called (and kicked me out of bed) was to ask me to do work. wtf! you can’t evade him sometimes.
i want to tell you another story about Timothy Tiah. i told him the day before Valentine’s what Waffle suggested i give my boyfriend for Vday. such is the conversation -
me: stewie! i hate your programmer!
tim: har why!
me: i asked him what he thinks would be a good Vday gift for my boyfriend… then you know what he said ah? i said that my boyfriend’s idea of a good gift are things like an external hard disk drive.. so Waffle suggested i get him a hard disk preloaded with porn. WTF.
tim: eh.. that’s a damn clever gift!!! that’s really cool! i would love something like that!
me: *insert many protests* blablabla
tim: no no it’s so thoughtful! think about all the effort that went into customizing such a gift… it’s like the male equivalent of a mix CD for girls.
me: what the….
tim: but what did you eventually get your boyfriend?
me: i got him a digital photo frame! it’s soooo cute; it’s like one of those mini LCD screens that displays an automatic slideshow of many many many photos that you upload onto a thumbdrive and plug into the screen. hehe nice leh!
sample photo of a digital photo frame
tim: hmm yaa i’ve heard of those.
*long silence…..*
me: …. YOU DON’T LIKE MY GIFT????????
tim: er… it’s just that if i got one of those things, i wouldn’t really use it….
me: WHY
tim: er.. cos it wastes electricity
sigh such is timothy tiah. no i dont know why he is like that. ANYWAY i turned the digital photo frame on when Martian was sleeping and he was very surprised when he woke up and saw it on the morning of Valentines. and he loved it :D just like he loves the scrapbook i made him for our anniversary. we spent the morning looking at the 300+ images i’d uploaded onto the screen and naming all the places and events and memories linked to those pictures :)
yknow, i’m so glad my boyfriend likes sentimental gifts. otherwise i would have been knocking on all my guy friends’ doors on Valentines Day, begging them for their porn stash so i can upload it into an external HDD to give to my boyfriend. -____-
so after lunch, Martian told me he wanted to go and get his IC done because he recently lost his wallet and all the stuff in it. i was like… ‘what! you want to go and get your IC done on Valentines Day??’ so while he went, i was at Starbucks being emo on MSN about how my boyfriend ditched me on Valentines. and all my girlfriends were like ‘aiyo why your boyfriend so bad!’ yalar damn bad right.
but then he later came to pick me from Starbucks with …
my gift :(
and flowers :(
and this box of really really nice tarts that i forgot to take a photo of and ate already.
and this damn funny Bahasa Melayu card HAHA. with a really romantic message in it.
so actually he didn’t go get his IC done, but he just needed some excuse that i couldn’t say no to. ishes. now i feel so bad that i was gossiping about him with my girlfriends :( hehe but i LOVE my presents to absolute bits! the card is so funny and obviously i love the tarts (why does my boyfriend know me so well), and as always i am very excited about flowers .. but my main present, the one wrapped in pink, is just perfect. haha but i cant say what it is yet. cos quite coincidentally, i actually need it for an upcoming blog post. so i will blog about it later ;) give you 10 sen if you can guess.
hmm eh then what happened. oh thank you Wenqi for the candle, heehee. if you know what i mean wtf.
at night, we went for dinner at Nero Vivo, which is one of our favourite restaurants in KL. i made reservations like a month ago - i am so shocked that on VALENTINES DAY itself, my blog was STILL getting hits from people googling Valentine’s Day restaurants. and the hits from the 14th logged the highest number of search engine referrals in February! why are all these people so last minute!! i do hope they all managed to find themselves a nice restaurant for Vday :\
sleepy us
it was so nice having Martian back in KL for almost 2 weeks. no, we didn’t go eat chili pan mee or red velvet cake like we were supposed to do, nor did we drive down to Melaka and Seremban as planned, and we also didn’t have that quick weekend getaway to Tiger Rock… but we did a lot of other stuff :) stuff like mice-drawing competitions.. hahaha. and Nasi Lemak Famous at Bangsar which gave us bad stomachaches. dessert with Martian’s very delightful Uncle Chris who has a billion stories to tell. going to the pet shop to play with puppies! and sleeping in till 12pm on most days. hehe.
soooooo i had a lovely Valentines day :) we night-capped it with tau foo far and the best ever double boiled soup in Lucky Garden, heehee. what did you all do for yours?
happy belated Valentine’s Day, everyone :)
p/s: eh …to all guys reading this, seriously lah… if you were my boyfriend, you would prefer my gift over a bunch of porn in an HDD, right? … right?
p/p/s: it’s Tuesday morning. should i head to Singapore this afternoon and surprise Martian? just for fun. and so we can watch Juno, because it’s not showing here in KL and he’s not allowed to watch it without me. and also because he’s bought the new season of Little Britain on DVD! if i go, i’d have to come back home on Thursday though. aiyah how ah! it’s like such a short time only and i’ve really got so much i need to settle back here in KL. decisions, decisions. i think i shall flip a coin.
