I Can't Stand It by Arief Sugianto - My Shiok Sendiri Moment

I'm not sure if any of you remember....but way back in the 90s, the Teenage Textbook was published, and it became a sensation among teenagers. Along with that was a Valentine's Day book...I can't remember the title now, but it had a collection of quotes, poetry and short stories by some junior college students. That book sure inspired alot of shiok sendiri moments.

A poem I remembered so well, and which rang true for alot of people I'm sure at that time was this one by Arief Sugianto. I only hope I remember it correctly.

I love someone
Though he knows it not
I love someone
Though he gives me no thought.

I gaze upon his countenance
Knowing I'm not worthy of his affections
And my heart sways in every direction
Torn by my emotions

Does he not see, Does he not know
That my love, my heart is true
Oh why does he torment me so
What should I say, what should I do?

If I tell him that I love him
Would he be kind or would he be cruel?
If I tell him that I love him
Would he love me or mock me as a fool?

What should I do
I'm so confused
I've never felt this way before
Is there anyone who'll help me?
I am drowning, there is no shore.

This entry was a total shiok sendiri moment for me. Super high.
Just writing it makes me feel 14 again....hahaha...the mushiest most unbelievable poem I actually read out to the school....imagine that...with feelings and everything. And I even won the competition for this. Hehehe...

Looks like Kooki Shiokness is strapped in a straight jacket and can't get fingers on the keyboard to post. Can't wait to hear what kooki things she has to say.

Welcome Quantum Shiokness. We could use the geek factor.

Dedicated to Mr Shiok Sendiri....

Shiok is the word (sung to the song "Grease")

I see you in my block every day and night.
You got some strange lookin 'hair,
I can only stand and stare.
There's something dangerous cannot tahan anymore
If you start wavin' now, I will only sing what I feel

Shiok is the word.

People think my love f'your hair is a passing fad.
Why don't they shuddup lah
it shiok send--iri mah?
Your shampoo is wah---lau.
I got to go shopping.
I going to NTUC right now.
So don't frighten one.

Shiok is the word.
(Shiok is the word, is the word,that you heard)

You've got style.
I've got the feelin'
Shiok all the time,
is the way
in my heart,
Shiok is the way that I am feeling.

Later dude.
Foxy tired already..Thinking too much.

Spicy Hot Shiokness!

It surprises me to no end, that in such a small office as ours, I would have the rare opportunity to be aquainted with not one, but TWO pals who can't handle spicy food, not even a teeny weeny bit.

Kooki Shiokness and Mr Shiok Sendiri are two very special people who will not stand for anything spicy, and if force fed, the effects on them would be terrible.

To confirm the claims, I was treated to a reality show of Kooki's adverse effects to chilli:

Kooki Shiokness had as usual bought fried rice from her favourite vegetarian foodstall, and told the cook to keep chillis out of her food, as usual.

Sitting at her workstation and tucking in to good warm food has always been a welcoming break for Kooki, and sometimes it teases our nostrils (once, rock chick, foxy and me went to grab fried rice cos of that, too tempting!).

Suddenly, she started coughing, with a slow muffled throat throttle, and her eyes started to water. She could only mutter her complaint on the silly cook who put the sambal in...and she struggled to get a hold of herself. Rock Chick came to the rescue(happily) and finished up the sambal.

As Kooki was fighting for her life(or so it seems), she hobbled to the water dispensor for warm water to douse the fire in her mouth, to little avail. Her coughs got more intense, as she threatened to cough out her lungs. And, as sudden as it came, the coughs started to hush to the throat throttle it started with.........

And she only had a taste of chilli.

Talk about spices and one of the finest cuisines to embody its richness would have to be the colourful and tantalising dishes of India. From its spicy hot curries to its "sweeter than sugar" desserts, there is always a type of spice in every dish.

Most Singaporeans would be shioking their way to enjoyment with that good ol' sambal, acha or even that mean little chilli padi. Without the fiery hot spike to tickle the tastebuds, local delights like nasi lemak, vadeh and even char kway teow would lose that kick. And don't even get me started on how we are going to re-establish our signature Chilli Crab or Fish Head Curry.

Chilli brings every meal to another level of shiokness...and just when I thought that I've reached my chilli resistance limit, Rock Chick and I take the ultimate chilli challenge, downing tom yam soup and the spiciest Thai noodles on the menu. It was magnificent! The red smoke felt like it was coming out of my ears and nose, and I was breathing out fire. With teary eyes, sniffling noses and red swollen lips, Rock Chick and I were taken beyond firedom with a smile.

That's all from Spicy Hot Me!

In case I'm Killed today

May Day! May Day!

Time: 3.31pm
Venue: Marketing Section

Kooki Shiokness is not feeling very shiok.
I am writing this in the secure confinements of my little corner table, as Kooki Shiokness is swearing at her PC...inciting that murder season would begin soon.
The slow witted PC had it coming since last week...despite being given a thorough check by Pangya Queen.

With fear in my little heart, I pray that Kooki Shiokness doesn't explode her PC (thus exploding my face cos she's right in front of me!).

In case I am killed today.......I love you guys.

P.S: The surprise pizza party you guys threw for me was great! More coming up.

Deeply Infected Shiokness

What a shiok birthday it was a for Calamari. She ate cake 3 times in 3 days. You can never have too much cake I say. Eat.

I am happy back in office after suffering no shiok with stomach virus infection. Everything I input became instant output. Must have got it from Kooki Shiokness....I must have accidently picked up her infected middle eastern drum the Friday before. Now I have to wait for the side affects of my stomach virus infection....talking to myself.


Infatuation is universal Mr Shiok Sendiri-so here's to Bulldawg.....My shiok sendiri deeply affected steady lah feeling for the week. Smack That.
