the crappy blog

2006-03-22T18:14:00.000-08:00

ok, so ive finally decided to move to a wp server!

say hello to protected posts and a neater layout. this layout is really getting a little too untidy.

ok, if you're interested enuf, ask me for the new addy! :D

till then, take care guys!

oh yah, something exciting is happening tmrw! =) feeling happy despite the v v sian final talk presentation tt i'm preparing for!

2006-03-18T23:06:00.000-08:00

tis' is gonna be a long post.

spent quality time with the family today. :D

had dinner at no signboard seafood restaurant with uncle's fam and my family.

this was an outing that was planned on 2 saturdays back, then postponed to last sat and postponed again to this sat. haha, it's just so hard to get everyone together.

besides, the yummylicious food, had nice chats with my cousins whom even thou stays next door, i seldom see or talk to. talk about busy schedules. sometimes i feel guilty abt that fact. =/

ahh well.

as for the food, let the pictures do the talking.

but before that, usually when i dine out, i seldom will take pictures of the food before i eat, esp if im eating with pple i'm not that familiar with, cos i'm just afraid that they would think i'm that bo liao. honestly, there's only a few times when i whip up my trusty phone cam to take fotos. those are the times prob spent with my family and some of my closest frens.

but i was so glad today that when the first dish came, my cousin sighed and said " aiyah, i forgot to bring my cam". then i whipped up my trusty phone cam and started to take fotos of the food. talk abt someone with the same wavelength. :D

ok so here goes.

talk about saving the best for the last. the last dish before the desserts was the white pepper crabs!

honestly, the food wasnt exactly to die for, but a family gathering is always priceless. :D

and since we happened to be nearby, we decided to drop by my ex babysitter's house for a while! i was really hyped up abt it. honestly even after almost 20 yrs, i'm still happy to visit her house everytime.

my mum used to say i'm the sort of person who 很重感情, which is in some ways very true. the reason why i always felt indebted to my babysitter is cos' i always rem the time when my paternal grandma passed away and how she volunteered to take care of us and somehow always sheltered me from many unhappiness. honestly, at times, i really feel that part of the reason i am what i am today cos of her. probably even the 3rd most impt woman in my life :)

in another way, i was always the closest one to my maid of 8 yrs. in fact, she was the one who used to buy me hotdog bread and coke from the esso near my primary school. and i think i started getting addicted to coke at a really young age. which issen exactly the best thing but i was so close to her that when she left us to go home, i refused to say goodbye and pretended to be asleep. -.-'''

those were the days. and i still think i still value relationships a lot now. but not for those use this against me.

yup.

well, let me do a little recap.

yesterday.

went to harbour front during my break with the babe to repair her cam. we wanted to lunch at sakae, but both of us reached a compromise to eat at yoshinoya so we could spend more on retail therapy. anyway, the beef bowl rox. my 2nd time eating it, and suddenly i dun hate yoshinoya that much anymore.

did some shopping, anyway, retail therapy always works. anyway, the chicken little vcd/dvd is out now! :D will definitely get my hands on it real soon!

after class, had a crazy time at ktv with cheryl. in fact it was the only time that i felt at ease before today. no need for false fronts nor the need to think of how to react. everything was just very straightforward. and honestly, once in a while, i appreciate frank comments.

im pretty glad i decided to go with her to ktv even thou my intial plan was to go home, spend some quality time with myself, and basically sleep. but mabbe she did really influence me and i felt bad abt kinda 'dua-ing' her in a way just cos i din feel good.

anyway, we sang soooo mani songs, (tats the goood thing abt a fewer people ktv session) and ~~anyhow~~ sing some of the duets , although i think we managed 北极雪 quite well :D snacked on fries at the beginning and gobbled prawn crackers at the end. tell me how good that is for your throat. and now i have an ulcer on the tip of my tongue. wth.

had a ~~pretty sad~~ dinner at the coffee shop. to me, its pretty sad cos its a friday night, but on the other hand, the babe was so sweet to spend a little more time with me for dinner rather than rushing off straight.

thanks gal, u really made my friday :D

had wanted to find some plans after dinner, but i didnt know who to ask. train-ed home. there were suddenly a few really weird people on the train. and i couldnt wait for the ride to end. :(

thursday was kelly campus concert. went for it eventually after piahing project till 4 plus am. and it was ~~bloody~~ disappointing.

it was only for a mere 0.5 hrs, there wasnt any seats provided, my view was restricted, and i was so far from the star, the atmosphere was simply not there, and most importantly, i got neither her autograph nor a snapshot with her.

for sth that i waited so long for, honestly, it was just so unworth it. i could feel myself sulking through the concert, deep in my heart of cos. the only consolation was probably the fact that i managed some ~~not very close~~ photos.

but the stingray for dinner made up for everything, or so i think. but honestly, the stingray at 85 is the nicest one by far. the rest ive tried are either, not hot enough, or too hot or simply not tasty enuf.

anyway, im tired, photos.

hope everyone had a great weekend, it has been 10,000 yrs since i last caught a movie. but there are just so many things to do!!

2006-03-15T22:00:00.000-08:00

random ones.

u noe its true why people say u cant look forward to sth too much cos when that day comes, something wuld crop up.

and guess wat? i may not b able to make it for the concert tmrw.

honestly, im not feeling as disappointed as i ought to. mabbe cos in the first plc, a certain part of myself wasnt that keen to go. i duno why.

i think im pretty weird.

coincidence or wad? why wouldnt people just learn to treasure what they have.

you noe the next time sth liddat happens, u just dun expect to let things go ur way again.

i used to wonder if there's sth wrong with some of the people i work with, but i realised that the prob actually lies with me. im a bad team player. i just cant work in grps. tats why i hate projects.

honestly some pple just shouldnt be given chances.

they say, "once bitten twice shy"

for me, its like "a thousand times bitten, the thousand and one time shy" and then i get bitten again.

i know this entry is confusing. if you understand it, u just do. if you don't it most prob means it doesnt concern u.

geddit?

but anyhow, it was really good blogging it all out. my blog is like my worthy other bestie.

2006-03-14T22:32:00.000-08:00

"you know you're really graduating when your fave pen is used up but u are not intending to buy a new one"

today was maxed out. in fact i feel like doing nth when i got home except to watch tv or sleep.

i had spent more than 12 hrs today.

lesson. mug. lunch. lesson. project meeting. home

after the meeting, i was really a little sian. partly cos i had no dinner at home and i know everione's out. and mabbe cos it had been a long tues and i really wanted to dine out. but this is also one of the times when if i cant find the right company i rather not have any.

was damn tempted to cab home. but didnt, and ended up at eunos to reward myself with a chicken wings set. :D

felt a little better. and happier when i saw daddy was home. and not long after, sis came back with these for me!

CL sweets + cookies.

she bought it mainly for the box. but i will somehow finish it cos of the 心意 :D

honestly, ive missed tokin to my sis for some time, since she started work last week, i think i barely speak 10 sentences to her in 5 days. =(

but managed to have a nice little talk over the weekend.

OH, before i forget, i slotted in collecting the kelly tickets in between my breaks. i am so damn happy la.

actually ydae i was feeling half dead, but somehow when i checked my nus mail, i was so damn excited and began calling pple or smsing pple to ask them to apply for the tickets too! actually even wanted to borrow matric card to help ln apply de, but i forgot it was too early for her! =(

anyway, im really lookin forward to thursday! my first ever 校园演唱会! mabbe i might even get a chance to have a snapshot with her! or at least get her to autograph my cd! yayy.. cool just thinking of it made me feel more energetic.

alright, finally a good break tmrw. yah right. its gonna be spent ~~doing~~ catching up on tutorials. ive very very behind in my modules.

2006-03-12T18:37:00.000-08:00

it's a sunday dedicated to tutorials + projects. what's new?

feeling a little overloaded. have spent abt 4 hrs on a tutorial. which is still undone.

wth.

it doesnt help that i onli had abt 5 hrs of sleep last night, went to sleep at 6 am, only fell asleep abt 6 ++ am when i heard my daddy waking up. and got woken up at 12 for lunch.

reason? i encountered sth that caused me to be really freaked out last night, or rather 2 plus am in the morning. i made a silent promise that i wouldnt go up the lift on my own so late ever again.

anyway, sorry ln that i woke u up and gave u the creeps too. dui bu qi!

thankfully i had company till 6 am, on msn.

other than that, yesterday was actually a pleasant night. besides the fact that i hated shopping alone on a sat evening, even at parkway, somehow the crowd is very intimidating. and i felt very loserish to be out alone.

dinner at crystal jade to celebrate crystal's bdae. the baby girl is really cute! haha, its amazing how fast babies grow.

then i met ln at suntec. we finally settled down at esplanade Haagen-Daz . it was always good meeting ln, and the chats are always good. then we sat at the river when the shop was abt to close. its been very long since i last dropped by esplanade. and i really missed the talks by the river. it feels like u just wish that time would reach a standstill.

then ln's first visit to 85! i wasnt even hungry to begin with. but since we were there, we had to eat the bak chor mee. we both shared a bowl. no stingray to speak of, cos the shop was closed, which is just as well cos i sensed an impending sore throat.

but somehow i didnt expect tat a supper would cause so many problems to surface. mabbe im just not very capable of handling feelings and controlling my expression and mabbe putting certain things across. sorry.

ahhh well, enuf of unhappy stuff. yes, cos i just wanna be happy and feel happy.

and im happy cos i spent lotsa quality time with ln this weekend.

sometimes, i really wish i could fly to the moon.

2006-03-11T13:00:00.000-08:00

"i can always count on you to be there..
with you the joys are twice as fun,
the sad times are half as sad.
Thank you for being you!"

simple words but they meant a lot.

i just wanted to say the same back to u! :D

sorry that i wasnt always there at times i knew when u needed me. but thanks for always believing in me!

receiving this at the end of a really sucky week helped a lot. thank you very much, ln! =)

2006-03-06T20:10:00.000-08:00

in the last 50 m of my run,

i tripped and fell.

the fall that ripped me of my confidence once again.

will i ever survive this?

2006-03-05T19:54:00.000-08:00

the new addition

after a really sucky weekend that prob started on the wrong note, and 2 days of slacking,

i was really cheered up when my sis came home with the 3rd CL figurine for me. she bought one each time she went to the shop.

hahah, this 3rd one is personally my fave. :D

now im left with the last one to complete my collection!

suddenly, the sky doesnt seemed so dark already.

2006-03-04T22:13:00.000-08:00

honestly sometimes i think i can be really hard hearted.

yet when i soften, things really can go outta hand.

i should have just stuck to things being that way. i hate to feel this way. feeling this way makes me lose all energy and motivation in doing work.

sux. it's been very long since i last was so distracted.

but honestly, how far can guilt carry u?

if u ask me, i dislike the fact that pple do things outta obligations.

2006-03-02T22:14:00.000-08:00

drama mama

the last time i went for an interview, a few nights before, i dreamt that i was late for half an hour.

and on the actual day i went for the interview, i was really late, even thou by 5 mins.

this time i had to submit my first draft, 2 nights back, i dreamt that me and my sis went to clementi to print the report out and somehow we took very very long to find a printing shop. and somehow when i inserted my thumb drive into the comp, i realised i forgot to save the file. and that was 1.5 hrs away from submission deadline, and it was impossible to rush home and back and print the file.

and i suddenly woke up. almost in cold sweat and super duper glad it was just a dream.

and today, on the actual submission deadline, me and my sis reached school 6 hrs before the submission time. on the way there, i realised there was some mistakes with my tables of results. so when i reached sch, i immediately rushed to change the tables and re convert them to pdf. which took me a long long time cos i have mani tables + graphs.

finally done, so sis helped me with the printing of the black and white parts of the report. but i still had the colour parts to print. thus we went to sci library but the cblc was full. headed to s10 cblc. it was also full, even more full. then headed to co op, they din have colour printing.

SIGH.

almost wanted to go central library. and sis had to leave for tuition. so i told her i would head back to s10 to wait. when i reached there, there was a comp available so i sat down and somehow even after following the instructions, i couldnt get my print job done, i started to panic. im just kanjiong spider la. in the end, i asked the person next to me, and she couldnt help either. so i went to ask the assistant and somehow i think i sounded damn sua ku in the conversation. but cant be helped, i have nvr used the sch printing service before. in the end, i realised to my horror that 27 pages of coloured report cost me 12 bucks. and i realised i onli had 12 bucks left.

i was suddenly damn stressed that wad if the print jobs din come out well, i had to rush down to draw money and the cblc would then again be full.

but thankfully, everithing went well, although i was sure i appeared a complete fool in front of the gal, and she will even b more shocked when she sees my user id.

but its alright, after 4 hrs of stress, i managed to get my report out.

WHEE..

finally its done!!

this run is finally getting shorter. i'm really glad.

today had really been a long day. lugged my lappy + lappy charger + battery + BIG hole puncher + half pack of double A paper to school.

was really lookin forward to home. partly cos of this show!

i like the chinese name alot! :D

somehow i kinda enjoyed the show a lot, even thou some parts were pretty crappy, but its only a pathetic 0.5 hrs and only once a week!!

but pretty worth watching!! so go watch alright?

it had been a really long entry, i know. just wanted to blog this tiring day out. im outta here!

happy friday! :D

i know you're having a hard time, but take care alright?

2006-02-22T21:32:00.000-08:00

burnt out

made a trip down to school today under the sweltering sun.

while at the food court at bugis, i suddenly felt giddiness and suddenly my left vision was blurred.
i tot i was going to faint.

ate 2 spoonfuls of rice, and couldnt take it anymore.

rushed home and felt like vomitting.

took a really long nap and feeling much better now thou my head is still throbbing with pain.

sigh.

the last time i felt this way was when i was doing internship at citi.

it must be staring at the comp for too long.
but with the first draft due in less than 9 days and a mid term test coming up, i cant help.

over-exerted i believe.

wish me luck.

2006-02-19T23:30:00.000-08:00

the new gadget :D

after walking around almost the entire day.

we landed with the best deal so far :)

and im pretty glad that ultimately we found out that both of us had the exact same model in mind.

it was pretty nice to see how our eyes looked like we both decided its the one.

yes, the nikon coolpix s3!

yes, this camera had been one of my 'dream cameras' since duno when. it seems that i always go more for style than for functions. as with my fone. :D

finally fotos with better resolutions :)

and also this! :D

that cames with a mega huge poster of kelly. that i absolutely have no use for. anyone interested?

have yet to sit down and listen to the cd properly. caught some songs on the car stereo and there's a duet with jy!

ok, tired beat.

the fun's over. time for some serious work too.

anyway, ydae i broke my mj curfew. haha. and won 4 bucks! :D

and we had sambal stingray!

ok im off. have a great week ahead. :D

thanks for everything c",)

2006-02-17T23:12:00.000-08:00

just got up.

-.-'''

came home having a really bad stomach upset. and feeling so weak now.

tons of work to do so i went to take a nap hopefully i can stay up tonight to do some work.

but still feeling lethargic. looks like the kopi peng during dinner time din help me.

today was a long long day at school.

the only highlight was visiting genki + new zealand natural with cheryl!

i had all by myself,
one plate of salom sashimi,
3 salmon sushi,
one salmon handroll,
one chawan mushi
& one scoop of chocolate ectasy.
(edit)
plus one small little kappa maki.

absolutely sinful. and i hope one day i wun have worms crawling out of my head.

it just those time of the semester when u seek pleasure from visiting the more exciting parts of sch.

2 more weeks to first draft. many more late nights to come.

2006-02-15T01:43:00.000-08:00

情人节快乐!

this year's vday celebrations for me had been exceptionally simple, yet it was a really sweet one. indeed, simplicity is bliss. :)

we pre celebrated on saturday since juss had night flying on vday itself. he brought me to have steamboat(yay!) at this restaurant at mount faber. the environment wasnt exactly tip top (given we were sitting outdoors and it got a little hot at times) but the food + service + night view was fabulous. and most importantly, the soup was so salty! yumms. :D

caught Walk The Line later on. its a really good show! honestly, much better than Memoirs of Geisha. definitely worth every single cent! :D i like the retro feeling although the singing scenes can be a little lesser. i fell asleep thru some of them. =/

x x x x x x x x

on vday, juss showed up in sch in the morning to pick me up and we went for bk breakfast at holland v! :D had been a really long time since i had that. yumms..

it's really a very 幸福 feeling to have fast food breakfast!

walked the whole holland v in search of a cd shop cos the love me, kelly cd is out today! but it was in vain :( tats my onli 遗憾 for today) hahaha

this year's gifts were not exactly the lavish kind but i got a little surprise delivery!

my 老鼠爱大米 display+ chocolates. literally, there were rice grains in the glass holdings the roses. i went -.-''' when i saw it.

and the levi's polo i got very last minute on monday. i had really been too busy.

decided to make up for the efforts by turning up near his workplace today! took a 35 mins bus ride to sembawang!!

then we went to chomp chomp for our supper of sambal stingray + pizza! the pizza was pretty good, i find it amazing that hawker centers sell pizzas. hehs. definitely will be back for more!

其实爱对了人
情人节每天都过

2006-02-09T13:57:00.000-08:00

currently addicted

彩虹天堂

我不知不觉又徘徊在从前
秋风悄悄的呼唤听来尽是孤单
落叶的期盼片片左右为难
心走寂寞攀跟着飘进黑暗
我不闻不问也许好过一点
被遗憾关在房间挣紮只是拖延
无望的空谈一声声的轻歎
回忆扯不断怎么摆脱纠缠
找不到方向往彩虹天堂
有你说的爱在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光
有你在我身旁

2006-02-08T02:14:00.000-08:00

sometimes life has a way of making fun of you..

when pple u used to dislike so much turns out to be ur gd friend now.

one very gd example is the fact that i used to be on not very gd terms with juss. even to that extent of thinking to myself that this person will definitely not be my kind. but look what happened, its a gd thing i nvr swear abt it.

i also had a not so gd impression of ln. but somehow when we skipped the first calculus lecture together, we started to be on the best terms ever.

and.. yu used to have this misconception abt me. and but somehow since the day we realised both the justins were in the same camp, we started to get closer.

there are mani more examples. pple whom i din have anithing to say to 325823203202 yrs again turned out to be potential good friend material.

on the other hand, pple that i immediately started to have 'hao gan' about turned out to prove me wrong.

i shant list the examples since bad things arent worth mentioning.

so my pt is sometimes it takes sth more to overcome this 'barrier' so that wadever misgivings can be straightened out.

2006-02-07T17:23:00.000-08:00

hmmm.

mid week break. i finally understood why it's good to have wed as an off day.

these 2 days have been pretty suffocating.

the heart rules over the mind again.

sigh. ironically, im not happy at at the outcome, mabbe just 无奈.

mabbe when things are changed, its hard to go back to what it was..

or honestly, i think there's no such thing as "making up for" in friendships.

2006-02-04T15:48:00.000-08:00

yesterday was 人日

happy birthday everione!

caught memoirs of a geisha.

its really worth watching! it got me really hyped up about the geishas, yes and japan. and sayuri's really really pretty in the show. ahh well, she's pretty almost all the time. but personally i think that the chairman wasnt too worth the big hoo ha.

the show was a little too long thou, and i drifted at some parts when it turned a little draggy. but definitely worth while to watch it! i might even consider reading the book(if i ever have the time) to catch up on some of the loose ends that i din get.

basically the rest of the night was spent lazing in juss' house and we had 'lao yu sheng' again! this was the 4th time i had it this yr. and im having it again tonight! that makes it 5. basically had it with almost all different types of fish. the usual raw fish, salmon (my fave) & even abalone. :D

yumms. new year is really good. :DDD

and juss came over this afternoon and we had steamboat at my house!

the 2 must haves: mummy's home made meat balls + seafood tofu!

basically few pple can understand my obsessions with the latter. but i had onli been able to have it when i go for steamboat at parkway. but that day i found this at carrefour!! and it tasted as good as the ones i had. :D

the spread + the boat!

somehow, steamboat at home always makes me feel really happy. mabbe its cos we usually have it once a yr thus the significance of it increases. :)

my sister got me this CL figurine which is really small. (but well, its chicken LITTLE)

hee.. its really cute and i left it in the car yesterday :D

on a side note, i havent seen any CL soft toys at all, anyone knows where i can get one?

2006-02-03T19:48:00.000-08:00

happy weekends.

i'm blogging today, cos of two reasons:

1) its cheryl babe's bdae today! happy birthday once again!

2) i learnt how to do the polaroid collages (like finally).

hehs, so because i like to do this looking back thing on pple's bdae, there would be a whole load of fotos coming up, (also because i wanna show off my skill, hehs, altho i know its damn easy)

ok, my first time clubbing with cher & jh!

and those days when the 5 of were cam whoring in lectures.

commencement 2005. when cher and me were the only two left out ones. rushed to clementi to get flowers. rushed back to sch. i rem my skirt was wet from all the flowers :(

my 2nd clubbing experience with cher and the guys.

ok, thats abt all.

to the bdae babe: we may not be the bestest of friends but thanks for the company thru and thru in my final year! :) may all ur wishes come true!

x x x x x

anyway, i must be getting really old. waking up at 5 plus on tues + fridays seemed to have drained ALL energy out of me, i have no mood to hang out after sch on fridays.

met sis + mum for dinner at bugis. had planned to walk around but i was really feeling overly tired. my eyes could barely open.

my ideal fri night seems just to slack in front of the tv and be a couch potato these days. age is really catching up on me. hahaha

ok, tats all for now. my eyes are feeling strained.

have a great weekend, guys! :)

2006-02-01T23:02:00.000-08:00

新年快乐, 万事如意!

it's been some time since i last blogged, sorry for the hiatus from blogging. i know there are some pple(though few) who checks my blog regularly. :D been really really busy with a capital B, averaging less than 7 hrs of sleep each day and on thurs and mon nights, in fact, about 4 hrs onli. sigh.

anyway, just wanna scream

MID TERM TALK'S OVER!!

anyway, i was really thankful for the support i got for the talk.(although not much) but it was really nan de that pple came down thou its at a very weird timing and its right after the long break. especially thankful for cheryl who help keep my speed in check and jiawen who msged me in the morning. small gestures but really sweet.

partly, cos of this presentation, i wasnt able to fully enjoy my CNY holidays. but i still enjoyed it!!

it was a really good break from everything plus lotsa quality time spent with family!

cut my hair (again) on CNY eve eve + do treatment. then went to china town with juss + his family. really crowded but that was my first feel of the CNY moood.

caught 霍元甲with him later on.

it was better than i expected but i dozed off about 3 times during the show. it was due to the 4 hr sleep i had the night before.

初夕 was spent packing and cleaning up my room and i headed to parkway for some shopping. then home for reunion dinner which was a simple affair as always.

初一 was spent at grandma's house and managed to catch up with the cousins. had both lunch and dinner there which were both a spread. after dinner, juss came over to my house to bai nian.and then i accompanied him to zw's new house for some mahjonging + black jack. and i won 34 bucks! its been really long since i last had any winning streak. but im still pretty sians of mj already. * clap clap*. got home at 4 am.

初二 was pretty eventful. for the first time, my babysitter + her family came visiting in my house! then i headed to the river angbao with my family. then i went over to juss' house to bai nian + have dinner. then we settled down for some mj session with his fam and i lost 9 bucks. =(

spent the third day having lunch with juss' grandma at neptune restuarant. it was my first time meeting her and honestly, i was quite apprehensive, was afraid i din know wad to say to her. but im glad everithing worked out pretty well.

then i headed home to spend the rest of the evening doing my tut for this morn + prepare for mid term talk.

tats abt how my new year had been!

hope ur's was great too!

2006-01-20T06:44:00.000-08:00

you know you're getting old ...

when you stay at home on a fri night just to be a couch potato. =/

so i plopped myself down in front of the tv from 8 -10 and caught a show on scv then love concierge!

im kinda addicted to the show. cos of jacelyn tay!!

i duno abt you. but personally i think she's damn seh. and i love her character in the show! although i think its slightly overdone.

ahh. actually just didnt have the urge to go out today. felt really lethargic cos of getting up at 5 plus and the 4 hr break in sch.

i believe i will be feeling like that for the rest of the tues and fris.

but its ok, at least its finally the weekends again. and more one week to CNY! :D

im really in a holiday mood.

2006-01-15T23:22:00.000-08:00

i finally changed the blog picture.

not that i didnt like the original one, but its kinda outta place here.

spent a lot of time deciding on the fotos, since i could only use up abt 9. i should really have been lookin at the stochastic notes. but it was really nice going through some of the photos i had.

in fact, there were alot of other pple close to my heart but i just dun have a decent pic of them. so yeah. here goes.

i'm suffering from monday blues again. i know its really sians im saying this every other sunday night. not that i can help it.if i could, i rather everyday be a greenish, reddish, yellowish one.

but just looking at the fotos again, thinking of the pple who really cares for me enuf, i'm pretty much cheered up again.

such is the power of frenship, and of cos love. :)

and then i realised, there are actually pple i can give up anytime but they are also others nothing in life can ever replace.

sign of incoherent tots. i shall just look forward to the next weekend!

the weekend post.

friday the 13th came and went. as much as i dun want to be superstituous i couldnt believe how unluckly i was.

first 8 am lesson in a very very long time. the last time i had 8 am lessons, i was happily staying in pgp.

well, ydae i got up at 5.45 AM and i was still late. the stupid bus uncle decided he wanted to take his own sweet time so i got to queensway at 7.50 and i decided i shouldnt be late so i alighted to wait for a cab. but for 15 mins straight, there wasnt a single empty cab around.

so i walked abt 1 street down, still dun have.

in the end, when i reached class, it was 8.20 am. so much for waiting up earli. damn.

these are the times when i will miss my little room in the west. when i could get up at 7.30 and still be on time. after lesson at 9 plus, me and ln sometimes wuld go for mac breakfast. to me, i think having mac breakfast is one of the most heavenly things on earth cos i always cant wake up earli enuf on my free days to have it.

had a bloody 4 hr break too. last time when i had a 4 hr break, i could still go back to my room to nap for abt 2 hrs before grabbing a chicken burger and heading for lesson. hais. the thrills of staying on campus.

but there's also the cons. like the amt of clothes ive gotta bring back everi weekend + the lappy. and i always end up taking cab to and fro. and i figured it wuld be cheaper for me to take cab every day to sch rather than spend the money to spend in hall.

ahh well. its the last semester, i keep telling myself.

and finally it was friday night. i was like TGIF in a long long time.

today, i lazed around at home the entire day until juss came to pick me up for jap dinner @ the new Hotel Royal with his family. :)

the place was pretty nice. his bro-in-law had booked a VIP room for us.

food wise was pretty ok for the price. it was abt 34+++ per pax for dinner which was abt the same price as kuishinbo. but me and juss finished a whole plate of like 40 plus pieces of salmon sashimi . we also ordered the assorted sashimi but i had really disliked the swordfish + mackerel + tuna + ika.

i mus be really a true salmon lover :)

ok, abt time to go to bed. my energy level seems to be getting lower these days.

nites world.

2006-01-11T04:37:00.000-08:00

thursdays blues.

damn.

i'm having pre-school blues.

it must be the many many holidays + fun i had. sigh.

the next hols has to be CNY. but before that i've gotta brave the horrifying mid term talk first.

bleahs.

2006-01-10T01:30:00.000-08:00

on a moody first day back at school..

when it's still raining when you've ended your lesson,

nothing beats an sms that says "i've just ended work. going to come over to pick you now".

and of cos this as well.

don't you just love steamboats on rainy weathers?

2006-01-09T00:18:00.000-08:00

the beginning of an end

i had been feeling a little moody abt returning to sch. yes, it had only been a one month break. but the tot that its prob my last really guiltless holiday makes me feel really sian. i think juss could sense my unhappiness and he told me he would make our weekend really fun.

fun it was! not exactly the happening kinda fun but the really simple type of fun.

have been wanting to shop for ages. and we finally checked out great world city. i wanted to visit the Wh shop there. actually saw a few things that caught my eye but i think ive become more practical and i wanna buy lesser of 'sch clothes' after all i wouldnt put them to much use in a few mths time.

or mabbe it's just that i cant seemed to find the right things i wanna spend my cash on in places other than parkway.

we had wanted to go to the beach to cycle today but it was raining damn heavily. so i suggested parkway and he tot it was a good idea. seriously, i think only yu and juss can understand my liking for parkway. besides, parkway has just undergone a revamp and there are actually top shop + mphosis there now.

also a lot new cafes and most importantly, they have this new jap fish market. its not exactly a market kinda market but more of the supermarket type. and i found this!

its like a whole load of salmon sashimi at only 6++ bucks. yumms. although the slices are definitely thinner than normal but considering the freshness of it, i'll definitely be back for more!

dropped by delifrance to have tea too. alright coffee.

caffe glace + caffe latte + chocolate eclairs!

anyway, did you know that delifrance originated not from france? its pretty misleading cos they always say bon appetitt after they serve their food.

i also got myself the superstar concert vcd. like finally. ive been deciding on it for a long time!

but the highlight of the day ought to be this!

juss got me this pink crown necklace which ive been wanting to find for a really long time. i cant rem whose blog it was that i read and she was also lookin for such a necklace. and today we finally found it at 77th street.

its really the least expected place. to me, its like a very sec sch place. i rem i used to hang out there with qi for clothes + earrings and stuff.

and i realised they updated their collection of accessories and are at very reasonable prices! i will definitely be going back there for the beaded accessories. in fact, i had already set my eyes on some. wahaha. =/ oops. tok abt being practical. sigh

anyway, a little abt the chicken little craze in my life. (and so envious abt ln's lucky draw win!)

the left was bought from carrefour. its actually a sweet dispenser like those we had when we were younger. if you still dunno, you have no childhood! haha. just kidding. but i couldnt resist it when i saw it. its just that the green glasses look so cute.

got the cushion from metro warehouse sale when i went with my mum last week. it must be the fetish for cartoons with big heads and small bodies. :)

alright. its monday already. seriously speaking, i have very bad monday blues now. sigh.

gd nites world! :)

officially.

hmms.. kinda cant believe it. i'm into the last week of the last school holidays(hopefully) in my life. in fact,only the weekend is left.

mixed feelings.

i know i wun be that sad to leave the school after all most of the pple i would missed have already left or would be leaving with me.

i would just say i'm apprehensive about the new life i would thus have.

in any case, i'm stuck with a pretty screwed up timetable. 4 day week with onli 3 modules and neither mon or fri is my off day. sigh. worse still i have 2 days of 8 am lessons (how am i gonna wake up?) and 2 days tat have onli one lecture that ends at 6. double sigh.

but then again, while i was complaining to my mum about my screwed up timetable + exam timetable, she said, "dun worry la, its after all for the last time"

yay.. last time. no more awful and stressed biddings.

i really cant wait :)

meanwhile, the last weekend of enjoyment! :) have fun

2006-01-05T23:18:00.000-08:00

alright. my first post of 2006 on the 5th jan 2006.

and its dedicated to a person whom

believed in me when even I have given up on myself,
taught me a lot about life,
stood up for me when I had been unfairly treated.
came knocking on my door late into the night offering me a bowl of chips :)

despite the many misunderstandings or unhappiness between us at times,

she was the bestest memory that uni life has given me.

happy burfday , ln! :D

thanks for
being the best ktv buddy
sharing my love of the food that no one else understands
mc wings + suntec & tb steamboat + vongole and many more.

and on your special day, i wish for you success in your career, and good health always :D

pls rem to eat your meals, club + drink less. :)

2005-12-31T17:27:00.000-08:00

goodbye twenty-o-five,
hello twenty-o-six!

anyway, the few past few days have been so busy I hardly had the time for sleep.

wed.
went to school to return a book for sis.
stuck in the mrt jam cos of the kallang incident.

rushed to national library again.
met rq and diana for the private sale at isetan scotts.
the sale was damn good, it was a whooping 30% off.
but we had problems staying together cos' the crowd was so bad.
ended up buying only 2 tops only.

walked till my legs were aching and had a really late dinner at almost 10.
ate at ichiban boshi. had a very bad first experience there but relented this time cos I was really hungry and it was the nearest available place.

but this time the food + the service was so good.
I had a chicken bbq set that comes with sashimi and we shared plate of gyoza.
the gyoza was so nicely done up on a hot place, i was so impressed. I mean it really looks good compared to the sakae ones.

thurs + fri.
spent having tuition & visiting my grandparents + my baby sitter. :)

went for tianwei's ROM chalet on fri night. played overnight mj. and lost big big. :( these days I have no luck at mj. sighs. got home at 6++ am.

yawns. so i have just woke up not long ago from my sleep. feeling lethargic still. overnight mj is bad for health.

ok. today's new year's eve.

a few days back, I wrote an entry about the more significant events in 2005 but decided against posting it now cos I think it's a tad too personal. thus, this probably shall suffice.

2005 had been a not so good one for me, at least particularly so in the first half of my year and I'm glad it's finally over.

I never once had such a tough year before but i guess it also taught me lotsa. however, i believe that for every bad thing that happened, a good thing will happen also :)

2005 started on a very stress note, cos it was a wake up call for me and I knew how much a difference the last sem would make to me, to graduate or not. Eventually, I made the decision to do another year, which I immediately regretted at the beg of this sem. Honours year was really a tough one especially with less frens around in school. I learnt how important it was to be self motivated. Projects + HYP took up a lot of time and I was really a stressed soul. However, at this point in time, I'm glad that things have worked out slightly for the better and I hope that it will end on a good note.

Juss came back during CNY this year which was a pretty good thing. Managed to catch up with him again even for a mere 2 mths before he flew off again. Being apart and together has both its ups and downs. It was a tough year for him away from home and although things did not work out that well, I'm glad things are starting to look up too :)

one major incident in 2005 was my uncle's passing on. It happened right in the middle of studying break and left the whole family in complete shock and there were many times when I felt that due to this, I wouldn’t be able to survive the examinations. It also made me realize how fragile life is especially when such a incident close to home happened. We really ought to treasure our loved ones. I believe time heals all wounds but he will always be in my memory.

moved out of pgp in may too, which was kinda sad cos most of my memories in uni came from there. In addition, ln graduated too, which made me feel like I lost the other half of a twin at times, especially when we spent almost every min of our time in uni together.

in 2005, i lost a pretty good friend. maybe it was my fault, mabbe it was not. but in any case, the good thing that happened was i got closer to the group cos of mahjong sessions and I am really thankful for that. they had made my life more bearable when juss wasnt around, especially for a couple that took pretty gd care of me too, no matter how small the gestures are. But cos of this very gd thing that happened to me, i started to have freq disagreements with a gd friend, even to the extent of me wanting to give up this almost precious friendship. But I'm glad both of us never gave up on it.

Somehow, the troubles in my life never stopped coming in the first half of the year including grandpa’s frequent admissions to the hospital and undeniably, I had a pretty bad 22^nd birthday, except for the presence of my dearest family and juss and also of the handful of friends who went the extra mile to make my birthday much better than it actually was, you know who you are. The most memorable ought to be the huge bouquet of flowers + teddy + LV bag(my very first!) that juss sent from France and also my first bouquet of flowers from a girl, my other half of a wan. =)

This year was also the year when I started to have this ‘msn phobia’ which meant that I dreaded or feared coming to msn cos’ I always seem to communicate wrongly with friends. I was starting to feel that there was something wrong with me, cos each msn session will make me end up feeling confused and sometimes, upset. And the only way out was to stop coming online frequently, which I did.

Lastly, i had a splendid xmas eve + xmas + boxing day as well, one of the best one I ever had in a long time, so much so that when it all ended I have this ‘ why does time fly by so fast’ feeling. Sigh, I guess good things end fast, it’s the memories that will remind us of the happy times.

ok, it had been a very long entry. my last entry of 2005. hope that 2006 will be a really smashing one for me and my loved ones ;)

2005-12-27T00:44:00.000-08:00

the holidays in photos.

it's been a very tiring 3 days of holidays. I had a lot of fun thou! thus, a little sad to return to reality. but anyway, here's my 3 days worth of fun in photos! actually i spent it mostly with my family, juss and his family. ;)

made photos calendars for my grandparents, my parents and juss! :)

my lovely xmas eve dinner with juss at copthorne's

juss got me this coloured gems pendant from lee hwa while i got him a wallet. ;)

had boxing day lunch at sakura with my parents and juss. and it was one of the buffets that I was pretty satisfied with myself cos i ate alot!

as you can see, i stopped taking pictures cos I was too busy eating. oops, I think i must have gained a few kg from this festive season =/ anyway, i had my dosage of salmon + swordfish sashimi and I was pleasantly satisfied ;)

spent the noon playing mj at roger's house and had dinner with juss' family later on. juss and me headed to parkway to get a new mj table for his new house! :)

and we settled to try out the table by a session of mj with his family this time! I love his mahjong tiles, they are transparent! one of the chioest mj tiles I have ever seen :)

I havent had such a superb xmas in a few years and I'm thankful for the good things that life has given me. Hoping that 2006 would be a smashing one for me!

alright. feeling really sleepy. gotta have tuition tmrw morning! and my bed is calling me ;)

2005-12-23T23:44:00.000-08:00

haha, i know these were supposed to be one million years ago. -_-

2005-12-18T23:20:00.000-08:00

the weekend @ cosy bay.

really cosy, indeed.

2005-12-17T00:50:00.000-08:00

smts, i think people put on a facade on msn. for instance, they could tell you very nice things but you nvr know what's their expression on the other side of the computer. msn just makes pple say what they want, whether it's true or not true. good and bad la.

tats why for a period of time since the start of exams, i stayed away from msn. cos apparently i hate pple who put on facades. not that i dun, but if u think i do you can always choose to dislike me.

especially to people who loves blocking others, what makes u think that the person you blocked wans to talk to you more than you want to.

actually i din think i will get so angry after so long, but i hate it when i have to make exceptions just to avoid people who dunno what friendship is.

yes, you're right. i'm so stubborn. but so what.

or mabbe i was just in a very bad mood today.

so if you are innocent, and i happen not to reply your sms, or answer your calls, i'm sorry! you just caught me on a-day-when-i-dun-wanna-talk. tats if any of you are reading this in the first place.

but if you're reading this, and this sounds very familiar. then stop to think twice. cos' it must be really u!

anyway, i feel so much better blogging it out. it's all in the name of blogging therapy.yay. TGIF

have a great weekend ahead!

2005-12-14T22:55:00.000-08:00

oh my, today i caught up with diana over a ramen-lunch and she was telling me how gals like 2 yrs younger den us are blogging profusely. then it made me wonder if i'm very slow in maturing or what. *-*'''

tat aside, it was always gd catching up with friends i really missed. we updated each other about absolutely everything in our lives and needless to say, also spent some time walking down memory lane once again. as i always sae, it's only my tkg days that can allow me to feel nostalgic even until this last lap of my studying years.

it's also pretty shocking to know that some of our peers are already married or even have a kid. anything can change in a span of 6 yrs!

also caught up with an old schoolmate whom I was pretty surprised to have still recognised me. but nevertheless, catching up is always good :)

gonna start on a new tuition tmrw! well, actually just relieving my sister while she goes on holiday! :D

anyway, xmas is just coming real soon. and somehow im pretty much hyped up abt it this yr! so much had happened in the past 1 yr, more bad than good and i cant wait for 2006 to come!

2005-12-13T01:05:00.000-08:00

the not-so-little-chicken-little

omg. this is so cute!

2005-12-12T22:41:00.000-08:00

tis' the season to be jolly

yesterday me and juss bought a log cake for my family :D

i havent had a log cake in ages.

and this log cake is especially special cos it's durian! yumms.

i know traditionally a log cake should be chocolate, but all the choc ones i saw were so big that my family cant finish it cos most of us aren't chocolate lovers. well, all except me la.

so just now i made everione look and appreciate the cake before we cut it up and gobbled it down.

it's so small, it's just nice for all of us!
then i took out all the figurines and washed them. yes, im intending to keep them! it's what i always do when i was young.

anyway, that day my sis bought me a 'xmas tree' .

now you understand why it's in inverted commas. well, to tell the truth, my family had never once had a xmas tree due to religion matters. thus, if u cant have a big one, i dun mind a miniature one.

this tree came with a white base and 4 figurines that you could choose where u wanna hang. it's so cute! cheap thrill but im happy. :D

i rem last yr i wanted to have log cake but somehow i din manage to have it in the end.

and because this yr i had a log cake, i hope that 2006 will be an extremely good one for me and my loved ones :D

2005-12-10T02:44:00.000-08:00

it just seems that the more you want sth
the more you find that its outta reach.

so mabbe i shld psycho myself by saying,
''no no i dun want this thing.'
then mabbe my chances of getting it is higher.

2005-12-08T01:05:00.000-08:00

how true :)

clearing up the mess

2005-12-08T00:11:00.000-08:00

after bumming around for a few days, i decided that its time to pack up my messy room.

starting from my table.

just bought this shelf from ikea that day. and my hardworking daddy got down to some work to help me fix the shelf. while i made myself useful by answering to his occasional calls of getting the hammer, the screw driver or the drill. :D

they were almost done! and i moved my speakers and printer up on the shelf.

finally drilled 3 holes for my flower light that juss gave me a long long time ago, but didnt had time to fix. so here it is. i had originally wanted the moon light. but too bad its outta stock in ikea liaos. =(

done! with the lighted lamp.

and this is how it looks like at night! the petals are so well defined! i love it. :)

tats' like 1/8 of my room packed. which reminds me that my wardrobe's still in a mess.

laaaaa diiii dummmm..

new template!

2005-12-05T18:50:00.000-08:00

alright. finally a new template.

i'm sure pple are sick of seeing the chips picture liaos.
(esp for cheryl. hehs)

i havent found a really suitable picture to put up. so let's make do with this photo which is one of my personal faves.

originally put up a chicken little pic.but decided against it cos it made my blog look kiddy. and i must maintain a mature outlook. haha. cos someone just told me yesterday that i always looked like i was more mature.

so here goes!

gosh, i was supposed to be doing my hyp. *slaps forehead*

i'm so damn unmotivated. someone pls remind me it's not the holidays!

but then again, it's the hols wad. bleahs.

四眼鸡 !!

2005-12-04T02:55:00.000-08:00

i thought the chinese name was damn cute. :)

i finally got to watch the show!

and i also enjoyed it through and through. i laughed at almost every single scene involving the little big headed chicken with green specs :)

or mabbe it was just the company. and i think guys who have a 'cartoons-humour' are especially attractive to me. :)

the show was a bit too short though. and in fact the story line wasnt very exciting. mabbe it was cos i had already read the book.

did i mention that i bought the chicken little book? and of all places, from nus co-op. wahaha.

anyway, the movie really depicted almost everything in the book and even the dialogue were almost exact. i wouldnt say i enjoyed the storyline but the animation was really good. long while since i got a worthwhile cartoon, after my fave 2 best, lilo & stitch and finding nemo.

i think i really have this fetish for cartoons which have a big head and a small body. :D

i laffed my head off when i saw chicken little in this oversized cap. (or whatever u call that) and chicken little in the origami pants was one of my fave scenes too.

other fave characters include abby, fish out of water and the lost alien child!

definitely a worthwhile movie to watch if u're lookin for some good laughter medicine. :)

anyway, cut my hair shorter again yesterday since i was getting sick of it being curly at the ends. and apparently my hair cut has sparked some -ve comments.

haha. but i really enjoy the convenience of not having to wait long for my hair to dry. especially when i foresee more late nights since it's the holidays!

like now.

gonna sleep soon. eyes can hardly open already.

shall end off with this. :) gd nites world.

this is cool! :)

WhEeeEee...

2005-11-28T15:47:00.000-08:00

exams are officially over!

*actually it was over 5 days ago. but haf been too busy to blog*

busy with post exams celebrations i mean.

anyway, visited my grandparents right after exams on thursday. cos i havent seen them in a long long while. had 2 delicious home cooked meals there. yah, i sae delicious cos it's been quite a long time since my mum deep fried stuff at home. my family's into healthy living now.

=)

met up with yuu first thing after her paper on friday and we had kuishinbo!!

we went for the 60 mins lunch express. which totally left us with not much time to devour our salmon sashimi. we didnt have much time to chat as well, let alone take photos.

felt a little too bloated after that, cos i think i have nvr eaten buffet so fast before.

did a little bit of shopping after that. and i got myself some really exotic jelly beans from candy empire! but they are somehow not as nice as those i got in co-op.

but anyhow i love jelly beans. they are somewhat magical to me.

got myself a skirt too.

bought a bdae present for juss' sis as well. and we celebrated her birthday at taiwan porridge for dinner.

played mahjong on sat! hehs. finally had some mahjong after so long. ok, it wasnt exactly too long. 2 weeks i guess.

and met up with the gang at liquid kitchen. it's a really nice chill out place, newly opened in siglap. the decor is damn unique and i love the cute bubble like chairs, cos they are white in colour. every thing looks damn good. but i couldnt stand the smoke. i cant wait for jun 2006 when smoking will be banned in pubs man.

went to 85 for supper and had my yummylicious stingray.

had mahjong again on sunday. wahahaha.

anyway, i think that i'm really a sucker for drama serials. can someone knock some sense into me? i've got the hyp at the back of my head but i'm not doing anything. *faints.

been stuck on the screen cos of this show.

its been showing on channel u for quite some time but i tot it was gonna be a stupid show cos of the name.

until cf lent me the vcd and said it was highly reccomended cos its viewership is higher than 流星花园.

anyway, its damn nice. mabbe cos the characters seemed so real and i can relate to it. but then again, everytime i watch taiwan serials, i always feel as if i'm watching the scenes from inside the show.

must be just the fact that taiwan serials are much better than singapore ones.

a little abrupt here. but i'm gonna end here cos i've nth else to say.

treasure your health!

2005-11-21T18:03:00.000-08:00

i've nvr really that much know the importance of losing your health until these few days.

so much so that today when there was only a drizzle, i bothered opening up my umbrella.

since i was hit by the bout of flu, things starten to worsen, caught a cough and sorethroat yesterday morning. and later in the evening, came down with fever as well.

imagine everything in the midst of the stressest period of the entire semester.

and i had a paper this morning. first time i sat thru a paper feeling a very bad headache, on the verge of shivering and coughs in between.

luckily i survived it i think.

cabbed down to see a doc. and am now on antibiotics. took a nap and feeling slightly better though still with a throbbing headache.

one more paper tmrw.

and with all these shit happening, really glad that i've someone who has a very strong mental. it just makes me feel that things aren't that bad after all :)

i will survive it!

2 down and 2 more to go.

the biggest stress reliever is you =)

2005-11-20T02:41:00.000-08:00

tonight i was supposed to go to new asia bar to accompany juss to some work related event.

it was supposed to be an overlook on his part when he bought the tickets not realising that i have exams on monday and tues consecutively.

not wanting to waste the tickets, i decided to sacrifice a little bit of my time and take a break from studying.after all, i had always wanted to take a look at new asia bar too. although i admit my flu and stressness abt exams made me feel abit reluctant to entertain and socialise tonight. and cos i was on medication, i couldnt take alcohol too.

however, i was also feeling very guilty abt neglecting juss due to the exams.thus decided to make a trip.

we parked at suntec which according to him was cheaper than parking at swissotel. and somehow we exited on the 3rd floor and silly me even said mabbe we should give the event a miss and catch a show instead.

so we walked into eng wah cinemas.

and guess what?

.

.

.

.

.

it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise.

HE HAD ALREADY PRE BOOKED TICKETS FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE.

the show that i've been wanting to watch. and somehow i get very pissed off when i read blogs of people who have watched it.

and tonight, i finally caught the 4th great episode!

it was time definitely well spent. and i was really thankful for his thoughtfulness. at the end of this gruelling week where i had a quite bad interview, incessant studying and the irritating flu bug.

anyway, the show was really great. much much better than the others. although i have no idea why ive read many blogs that said it sux.

spoilers follow.

mabbe to me, it was gd cos of the true spirit of frenship being displayed. of how harry potter risked his life to rescue cedric instead of goin for the cup. of how cedric died in the cause of frenship. hermoine was somehow really pretty in the show. although victor krum was a bit not as gd looking as i had imagined him. so was cho chang.

but mad eye moody was really cute. i liked his eye! hehs. and as usual, ron was damn funny.

it was a great 150 mins.

i thoroughly enjoyed myself.

also took some really cute posters.

cute! i'm so lookin forward to this show lor.

we even tried to take the video of it before the show using my phone.

and this! my all time fave

can someone tell me since when was there a lilo and stitch 2? how come i dunno!?

anyway, really time for bed, else i duno how my flu will recover.

nites world.

thanks for everything :)

the flu bug

2005-11-17T13:06:00.000-08:00

i'm down with flu.

think i caught a chill last night from the rainy weather and the air con. =(

what a time to be down with flu.

2 more days to the finals.

i am soooo sooo drowsy.

mugging equals perpetual hunger

2005-11-13T19:42:00.000-08:00

i dont deny im a mugger now. i see nothing wrong with that and i cant understand why some pple are against the word mugging or mugger.

anyway, moving on, yours truly has been engaged in a war with my ever so comfy bed. each time i'm trying to study esp in the late afternoons, i can feel my bed calling out to me. more often than not, i give in to the temptation. =(

BUT, im really trying hard to study too.

with a lot of encouragement from juss who dragged me to study last night at mac when i wanted to go watch a midnight show. but i couldnt be more thankful for such motivation :)

ive also stocked up on lotsa snacks to keep my mouth occupied while studying. somehow i wonder how come im like perpetually hungry when i'm studying.

can someone tell me why?

oh yah, i found the wang wang cheese crackers that ln bought to pgp last sem! im already starting on my second packet! its really nice and tastes like cheezels. but more importantly, it has a lot of ln's wei dao. hahah =)

exams would be over in 11 days! so fast. i cant wait. just thinking abt the holidays makes me feel really gd, even with hyp to think abt.

lots of mahjong sessions that i wun feel guilty about, ktv sessions, jap mealss! suppers that consists of sambal stingrays and tau huey, guilt-free clubbing sessions and not forgetting, retail therapy.

trying to squeeze a bbq and chalet in as well. but all's tentative. let's see how it goes :)

oh yes, and there's harry potter and the goblet of fire as well as chicken little!

ohh, and some xmas lightings are up le! i saw a really nice xmas try at raffles city. just thinking about xmas makes me feel really cheered up and there's new year countdown too!

ok back to my books! i feel more motivated now.

am going to starbucks tmrw with yuu to study! :)

have a great week ahead guys. :)

exam is the monster that makes someone lesser of what they used to be.

2005-11-09T22:30:00.000-08:00

time flies. i remember this was my nick on msn exactly one semester back.

one semester later, i've been proven that my own quote is so true.

this semester is a lot different from the past few. one being i'm no longer staying on campus so i cant have this fixed place to study everyday(besides home) which makes everithing alot more difficult since im not a highly motivated person. i miss those days of studying with ln at our lounge with our L shaped tables and yellow chairs.

i was super unmotivated today.

and i just hate it when people close to you seemed a totally diff person when it comes to exams. it really makes wonder, are exams so impt that frens become unimportant?

double sigh.

i cant wait for the next semester to end.

food galore

2005-11-08T11:56:00.000-08:00

so yesterday lau niang took half day off to come visit me in school!

and from about 4 plus pm till 9pm,

we had food from 3 different places,

x mc wings meal each
x 2 plates of salmon sashimi, 1 plate of swordfish sashimi,
x chawan mushi
x fried tofu
x salmon maki
x fried calamari
x mozarella cheese sticks
x caesar salad
x brownie with ice cream

which is really alot.

but i guess when a very good fren comes to visit, you just feel like you have an enormous appetite! :)

drinks @ mount faber

2005-11-06T01:00:00.000-08:00

the place wasnt fantastic.
but the view was.
and the company was the best

a great way indeed to spend my sat night :)

friday nights

2005-11-04T23:48:00.000-08:00

someone pls remind me its not the holidays.

got home really early from project today. after the mad rush in the morning. for more details, refer to cheryl's bloggie.

did a little touch up on the ppt for mon. and started to cable, while crunching on wasabi broad beans(cheryl, i discovered that they are actually broad beans, not peas) which is also my latest addiction.

then mum came home and we had dinner tog. then i just sat myself in front of the tv to watch the 7pm show. then the 9 pm show.

mum text me to ask if i wanted supper. then she bought fries, which didnt seemed to satisfy me. so i had some strawberries and grapes.(while still in front of the telly) then dad came home with fried tofus and sausages. how could i resist right?

so there you go, my super duper full supper.

=) really quite satisfying leh.

and now i'm refreshing blogs one after the other, as if hoping someone wuld be more free to me to blog every other hour. wahaha.

how can i be feeling so bored when the exams are coming!??

anyway, today's boon's burfday. although im quite sure he hasnt read my blog in ages, but anyhow,

HAPPY 21ST !! =)

i smell the weekend..

the really suay day

2005-11-02T21:59:00.000-08:00

i hate rainy days. esp when im out.

today was rush rush rush.

last night i fell asleep while studying, ok i didnt fall asleep, i wanted to take a nap and told juss to wake me up half an hr later. it was 2345 hrs then.

sleep sleep sleep.

and the next time i got up was 0130 hrs. and checked my fone, 7 missed calls. he called me until he went to sleep himself.

0-0''''

im really such a pig. more so,i felt angry at myself for not doing any studying.

since it was already 1 plus i went back to sleep. then juss called me at 8 am(supposedly thinking that i had slept enuf to get up) but i din answer the call cos i was still sleeping.

really wonder if i popped some sleeping pills last night.

got up finally at 10 plus am.

went to visit grand dad at the hospital, had lunch and rushed to tuition and was late by 45 mins. i really couldnt help it, who knows that novena is so freaking far from tampines.

as a result i ended later, was damn hungry and wanted to cabb home. but i resisted the temptation cos i m feeling broke lately.

then it started to rain cats and dogs.

waited for the bus for a freaking 20 mins. juss called me, wanting to come fetch me. but somehow my stupid phone was not on alert(i tot it was, so i didnt check it) 8 missed calls.

when i finally got home, saw dad waiting downstairs for me. i really dun like to see him waiting for me. it makes me feel very bad tat he stood there waiting so long. apparently he too tot sth happened to me cos i came back so late and weren't picking up the calls.

it really issen too gd a day issen it.

then i got this sms saying wanna do proj tmrw morning. being already so sian, i really wanna scream out loud. tmrw is a public holiday!!!

ahh well. luckily cheryl babe agreed we shouldnt meet tmrw. you rox man.

anyway, was supposed to go zouk today. just to relieve some stress. ahh well. i shall stay at home to try to do some work.

at times when im feeling damn gloomy,

i try to think of happier things,
// of juss and his lame jokes which are smts really cute
// of trying to make fun of mummy
// of ln and our mac meals

and many many more.

sometimes when it comes to ur stress-est periods, u just know who are the one who are always by ur side. whether rain or shine.

i dun need a truckload of frens. just a few who really cares.

2005-11-02T11:23:00.000-08:00

i realised i was tagged by kaixi also

so here goes.

Rules of the game:

Post 5 Weird and Random Facts about yourself, then at the end list the names of 5 people who are next in line to do this.

1. i have a fetish for guys who are really tanned, even though i know im really fair.

2. i will visit the toilet right before i go to bed even though there wasnt a need too. just so that i can sleep properly thru the night without having to worry abt toilet calls.

3. my room is totally pink although i dun love pink. ;P

4. some of my tk frens think i look like pooh.(gosh, am i that fat)

5. i don't exactly love flowers, am just ok with them.

haha i wun tag anyone lar, since most pple who blog have done it le :D

11月的萧邦

2005-11-01T20:40:00.000-08:00

finally got my hands on this. :D

the cover is so nice! (although ive been seeing it on ln's blog for a few days oredi)

anyway, i didnt preorder it and there was supposed to be a desktop calendar that came with the cd. then when i paid for it they gave me the mega huge poster!

so nice right!?

actually i wanted the desktop calendar more than the poster, and i was kinda disappointed when i din receive it.

but when i got home and opened up the cd, there were 12 calendar postcards inside the cd!

yayy. cant wait for 2006. wahahha

anyway, now i finally got new songs to listen too. have already been so sick with the mp3s on my comp.

=)

more motivation to study now.

hopefully, no more distractions please.

of expectations and trust

2005-11-01T02:47:00.000-08:00

just back from a mahjong game. honestly i think i have lost the addiction to mahjong. and i cant believe im doing such things when its close to exams. yeah true enuf tmrw is a public holiday but during this period,

public holiday = mugging and more mugging.

to be honest, i think i am actually very stressed altho i havent really got down to study. with 2 projects still on hand, what do you expect? i know this is probably my last chance to make a difference. but my heart doesnt listen to my brain.

more like, i just dun wan to give myself too much pressure cos im afraid that i wun succeed. i dun like to disappoint pple who have high expectations of me. i.e my parents.

in the first plc, they have nvr pressurised me to do well since young. and that's precisely why im always spurred on to do better. and i daresay my efforts have paid off until now. ahh well.

but somehow im very distracted.

on the other hand, i realised that ive been very mean to someone who's been ferrying me to and fro on my late lessons and project nights. someone who's almost 'the right size' to me.

but i really duno how to trust.

sighs. gonna sleep liaos. nites world.

and happy belated halloween.
happy deepavali and happy nov.

* on a happier note, jay's cd gonna be released tmrw. or rather, today! i really cant wait :D

of indulgence

2005-10-30T11:43:00.000-08:00

* a sunny sunday.

yesterday i self declared a break from sch work and me and juss went on a shopping spree. ok, he did, not me. hehs. its really rare that he ends up with more shopping bags den i did. :(

its been so long since i last breathed the orchard air. and just mingling with the crowd made me really happy.

juss got himself some really nice shirts and berms. and a pair of golf shoes.

and also kindly sponsored these.

nice ma?

actually i wanted to get another design. but they didnt have my size. and the woman told juss that stock will only arrive at the end of the year. so longg. i din really want to wait. :p

anyway, speaking of shoes, when i went for the csfb test on fri, i wore my sis shoes since i had no covered shoes. and by the time i reached city link, my leg was hurting like mad. by the time i ended the test, i couldnt walk more. then i cabbed home and when i took out the shoes. a piece of skin abt the size of a 50 cents coin was gone from the heel of my foot, looking bloody and all.

that was juss' idea to get a pair of birkies. kinda totally unrelated but i like the excuse. after not shopping for ages, i feel kinda pampered :)

2005-10-27T08:40:00.000-07:00

of the good and bad things in life.

it's a pretty sad thing to have walked past an old fren but not acknowledging each other.

to that fren of mine, if you're ever reading this. sorry i had to pretend i didnt see you. cos it would have made me a fool to shout out to u only to realise that for some reason that i have no clue abt, u had already stopped talking to me.

sometimes i just wished that pple could be more truthful abt their feelings. after all, im pretty much a say-what-i-feel person. you either love me or hate me for that.

yah. but on a chirpier note, i am smelling the weekend. :D

anyway, today i travelled all the way to the north to meet juss. it was supposed to be a surprise as I was a little more free than other days and on those days that i was really stressed up, he came to school to pick me up everiday. so yeah. but my surprise was quite a flop.

i left sch abt 5 plus.reached at 6 plus. (the journey to khatib is surprisingly shorter than i imagined) went to shop and save to walk around. tried to drag my time and spent abt 0.5 hrs there. then i sat around the mrt station to wait. wait wait wait. till i got a little bored so i walked to the bustop and did some people watching. till 8 plus, still there wasnt any call. then i walked back to the mrt station and went to 7 eleven. it soon became a 2.5 hr wait.

seriously, im amazed at my patience. if you know me, u will know tat i really hate to wait for pple.

2005-10-23T13:27:00.000-07:00

if you really love her, you've gotta set her free

back from tuition. and really really tired. slept abt 3 and got up at 8 just for tuition. i was really dreading it. sigh. especially when i got so much to do. but responsibilities calls.

havent updated for quite some time cos ive been spending a lot of time in school doing project.even my free days are burnt. but i should be grateful at least I still have my weekends ;p anyway, despite having so much to do, i took a little break and watched this yesterday.

had intended to watch Deuce Bigalow instead since i am not really a big fan of thrillers but there wasnt any sofa seats available so we settled for this. anyway it was really much much better than I expected, especially the twist in the plot. Jodie Foster's acting skills are really good and her expressions made me cover my eyes abt 1/3 of the show. i think i have a weak heart. ;p and so i gave this show 4 stars out of 5. I have no idea why some mags rate it only 2 stars. hehs

anyway, there are gonna be so many nice songs coming up! why do nice shows always come up during exam periods.

i wanna watch this!

the chicken is so cute. the head so big. :D

and of cos, HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE. cant wait. it's been 1.5 yrs wait. but its coming out like 2 days before cf exams. argh.

ok, so the afternoon was spent playing mahjong! i broke my promise to myself abt not playing mahjong. but this time we played with ryan and his gf, who are really nice pple. it was really more of a frenly game, although we played up the beat and played 30 60 cents. im amazed i actually agreed to it. but anyway i won money!

ok! its time to hit the books and mug for OM test. till then.

have a great week ahead peeps! :D

it was a really happy 23rd

p.s the title doesnt link to the post, i know. haha. but ive been addicted to heaven knows lately. ;p

2005-10-12T23:43:00.000-07:00

identity crisis.

that's wad i think im sufferring from. at least my own definition of it

yeah. presentation's over. but i duno wad to make out of it. as expected i started off very fast. but cheryl dearest prompted me whenever i went too fast. thanks gal :D

but mabbe it was still too fast for prof to understand. i was given quite weird loooks and somehow he din ask me any questions at all. which is damn weird. it could b a very gd sign or very bad sign..

shrugs i duno.

anyway, i think im sufferring from the above cos i seem to feel very aimless these days, even thou i have tons to do. i start to doubt my abilities when deadlines are screaming at me.

suddenly it occurred to me that i duno wad i want in life. okay mabbe deep down inside i know. but somehow my aims are pretty unachievable. at least in this realistic world.

i used to b very confident. whatever happened to the confident me?

okay 2 projects + 1 test + 1 assignment to go.

cant wait for 4th nov.

2005-10-11T23:42:00.000-07:00

just a quick one..

m so stressed today.

cos intro talk is tmrw.
one proj + presentation due in 2 weeks
one proj + presentation due in 3 weeks
1 assignment in 1 week
and exams are abt1 mth away!!

faints.

im so stressed that im prone to flare ups.

actually, when i get angry with pple for no reason, i usually feel guilty when i've cooled down then i apologise.

but when im not in the wrong, i dun feel guilty. so no matter wad pple think or say or do, i have my stand.

and a very gd fren told me, that i should just be who I am. dun care wad others think or say.

and yes, i think so too.

so yeah, wish me luck for my intro talk okie.

anyway jiawen was really sweet today, sent me a gd luck msg for my talk. it reminds me of the gd old tk days.

i hope not many pple turn up for my talk tmrw. even if many do, i hope no one asks me tough questions.

back to dreadful work.

2005-10-05T00:09:00.000-07:00

it seems ..

when you have high expectations, you're likely to be disappointed.

when you have no expectations, a pleasant surprise is just in store for you!

this happened when i told juss not to pick me up today cos he had to start work earlier tmrw and he agreed. but when i stepped out of class, i got his call, saying that he's in school waiting for me :)

thank you for making my day.

anyway, i got a B+ for that horrid FM test.

it wasnt that gd when u look around you but that's what i mean abt having low expectations in the first plc.

i'm pretty happy with it already. :D

2005-10-03T22:41:00.000-07:00

the weekend-ly post

this weekend past extremely fast, despite the fact that my weekend started on thursday afternoon.

started with some mj session on fri night cos' i told myself i needed a break from work, and mj sounds like the most other relaxing thing to do.

met up with some of roger's frens over drinks at chijmes and supper on sat night. pretty interesting bunch i tot. coming from various different countries! 2 of them were actually for taiwan whom i found pretty interesting to talk too. plus they all worked in pretty amazing foreign banks :D i've always looked up to such pple anyway.

they asked me who was the most popular singer in singapore, for some reason i wanted to say kelly. but decided not too. it's pretty dumb. so i said JJ. haha. duno why that came out of my mouth, prob cos ive been listening to many of his songs lately. and he sure does bear a strong resemblence to jy.

so they called jay xiao zhou. haha. so cute. oh yeah, and it just confirms my beliefs that taiwanese gals are all very pretty :D

had supper at you tiao da wang. i would have prefer the one at selegie more thou, cos they offer cold tau huey. but you tiao is yummy!

reached home at 2 ++ am and concussed. speaking of which, ive been sleeping like at 2++ 3 am over the weekend and getting up at 8 plus. really zonked out.

sunday evening, my mummy, daddy and sis went to macritchie to talk a walk cos mum have been wanting to go there for a long time(i wonder y thou) while me and juss studied cos there was really too much work for me to do.

den we picked them up and juss drove us to eat fish head steamboat at whampoa. dad's reccomendation. and guess what? we waited a blardy 50 mins for dinner to be served. it's been so long since i last had the patience to wait for food for tat long. *faints.

it wasnt that gd eventually. but since it's daddy's recc and we havent really dined out in long while, i just said it was gd all the same :D

anyway, today left sch at 7 plus. wanted to stay for the refreshment but cheryl's bf was picking her up and he said he could drop me at 85. i was damn hungry on the way back so i asked yu if she wanna meet me for dinner. that gal had already eaten and showered. but she still made the effort to come down to meet me! *thanksss gal*

somehow i was feeling pretty much alone and lazy to go home on my own, so i really felt so happy when she said she wuld meet me! sooo we sat down for hokkien mee and sugar cane. and juss came to pick me up after work.

he too haven't had his dinner so i da bao carrot cake for him. and i took the wheel while he ate his dinner and i drove yuu home! haha. she's officially the first person i have sent home. yayyy! but for being such a sweetie pie, it was the least i could do! :)

thank god for such great pple i have in my life! :D

2005-09-28T22:48:00.000-07:00

nostalgia..

since sunday, ive been trying to fight off this feeling of nostalgia. it must be my tuition kid's doing, every time i go for tuition, i always start to miss the sec sch days.

these days i havent been hanging around juss much, but those short times spent with him sometimes makes me rem the gd old times. not i dun treasure what i have now. it's just that it's a different kind of happiness.

and today lau niang was smsing me so nostalgia hit me again. :(

i really miss ...

wearing the green uniform. it was the best uniform i ever had (although some bums from that termite sch think we look like frogs)

chemistry and english lessons.

interclass games. even though at the end of it we are so smelly and sweaty and there was no way we could shower and had to head straight for lessons.

most importantly, the 4e1 classroom. as well as the toilet. yes, i actualy missed the toilet. it's where we would hang out during short breaks in between lessons. :D

how me, di and qi would meet outside qi's class for recess. (by then the 3 of us were already in different classes)

studying at the marine parade library. where i oso got to know more pple :D

tuition lessons and the starbucks or bubble tea sessions after that.

the foursome seoul garden outings.

taking long bus rides to the airport, woodlands or yishun.

staying in pgp. especially the time spent with ln :)

our frequent mac trips. (or should i say the time we had meals in school is usually at mac)

the fongseng and prata sessions. (which wasnt too many cos we were too lazy to take the shuttle bus after 7 pm)

the camping in library till 10 pm study sessions.

our sit-at-the-stage-lookalike-place-and-have-potato-chips sessions.

and our thai-styled chicken dinner meals.

okay, i think i should stop else my room will start flooding. heh

we cant travel back in time but we can make a difference to what happens in the future.

for now, although the road ahead seems tough, i just wanna do the best i can and hopefully everything turns out as well as i hoped it could. :)

wish me luck, people! =)

abt having an elder sis..

i was really sick of studying when my sis dragged me for a run with her and my cousin. (i use dragg cos yours truly was really feeling real lazy) i was pretty hesitant abt running with them cos they run much more frequently than me and definitely have much more stamina.

while i on the other hand havent ran in ages.(esp after i picked up swimming again)

so that's the thing abt having an elder sis. (okay, im not saying that cant happen if u have other types of siblings) but cos' i only have one sibling, im really thankful for her :)

altho i secretly wished i can have an elder brother at times. :P

so anyway cos i havent ran in ages, i found it hard to keep up with them towards the end. so i told them to go ahead and i will try to finish, at a lower pace of cos.

but no, cos it was getting real dark and all, my darling sis stopped and waited for me. even thou i know it was probably a wasted jogging trip for her. oooppss.

at the end of the run, i suddenly felt an urge to puke. didnt really understand why. mabbe i really havent ran in ages, the last run i suppose was with yu and tin when i was still staying in pgp. =/

luckily i felt much better after i got home and daddy rushed to pour a glass of iced water for me while sis gave me some orange peels. (i have no idea why she thinks that works thou. hehs)

i think i made so many pple busy just cos i went to run.

but the jog was gd, made me felt refreshed. but im determined to do better next time :D

back to the bookss.

2005-09-24T14:50:00.000-07:00

the one abt the term break

u know the break had past faster than i can absorb. it seems like ydae when it was just monday and poooff. it's already sat today.

i'm really in a super unwilling-to-go-back school mood. havent done enuf work i guess. been spending lots of time on the OM test.

anyway, its one of those few saturdays im not out having fun or studying @ starbucks. feels really weird. and im super bored too while trying to cram some OM stuff yet again.

so more abt the break.

x lots of mahjong, last night and saturday.

x studying. no doubt, the starbucks @ marine parade lib has officially become my fave study spot. it's so conducive i dun mind studying there alone.

x had a dialogue session abt cirriculum intensity on tues. and i tell u i nvr had a nicer time voicing out my unhappiness abt the maths dept.

x met yu for a post bdae celebration on tues as well. had sakae @ parkway.

and there were having this promotion.

freaking cheap!

we had 2 plates each.

and the bill came up to 29++ bucks. somehow i used my uob card to pay and there was supposed to be a 10% disc. but when i left the place and checked again, the cashier had charged us onli 17++ bucks. oops.

x met diana on lunch near her work place on thurs. we had jap food again. this time i had some stir fried beef. the whole set comes with chawan mushi and salmon sashimi. for a total of 12.90 each. pretty gd bargain i guess.

so anyway, when i told her that ive been having a lot of salmon lately, she told me that she once got sth in the mail abt this guy who had been eating raw salmon quite frequently then one day, he found a lot of worms on his scalp. and when they cut open his head, there were a lot of worms squirming around.

kinda creepy sia.

then i tot to myself that i better refrain from salmon for the time being.

but i guess it would be before long when i start to eat it again. =/

x i also coloured my hair! and gave it a trim too! so it's kinda even shorter now.

x watched lotsa cable telly too. especially this pilot show.

i loved it man :D

x rewatched the superstar finals that i taped. haha. and i kept laffing when jy and xinhui were singing wu ding. i think her expression really cannot make it.

ohhh. and i like the guardian angel song that jy sang! :)

lalala.

its abrupt. but im goin to end here.

have a gd weekend, pple! :P

note: oh yah, and i realised that my comments only allow blogger pple to comment. (after i scrolled down a few posts and saw cheryl's reply) paiseh i nvr realised that. no wonder pple dun like to comment. so yeah, ive already changed it. hopefully i get more comments now! :p

a big shoutout to the other wan:

2005-09-22T20:25:00.000-07:00

_ _ _ _ _

are 2nd hand books getting harder to sell?

a few weeks back, this person emailed me asking if i wanted to sell my microecons tb. so i replied him/her and we agreed on everything, the price and all. until we arranged to meet up, she stopped replying me.

wth. waste my time

then today, i was pretty surprised someone still wanted my book. he/she had smsed me.

and this person for one is really a difficult buyer.

that person: are you still selling your micro text? how much are u selling it for.

me: (in my mind, i was thinking issen the price written on the website?) selling it for 14. how mcuh u willing to pay?

that person: hmm. 10 bucks. actually still thinking if i want to buy the 6th edition instead. cos myfren told me there's a lot of difference between the 5th and the 6th. what do you think?

(mine was the 5th edition)

me: personally i havent seen the 6th ed. but i think the questions numbering may differ lor. and the lowest i would go is 12. so lemme know if u still want.

after a very long time,

that person: describe the condition of the book.

at this pt, im seriously pissed liaos. i mean if u wanan buy a 2nd hand book can u just accept the fact that it's definitely not as gd as a 1st hand one. definitely there will be highlightings. if there issen it just proves the usefulness of the book doesnt it?

but anyhow i replied.

me: its wrapped in plastic with highlighting.

that person: what? there's highlighting? i tot u said it was brand new.

wth. u can only find brandnew books in the co-op. dun be sucha dumbass.

me: huh? when did i ever say that?

that person: ok i must have rembered wrongly, aniwae since there's highlighting can sell at 10?

the devil in me was freakin pissed off. some pple just dun understnad english. but the angel in me wanted to settle this soon. i dun have that many smses to spare sia.

me: alright then. 10 bucks. but can only meet on monday and in science.

and then that freaking person din reply me liaos.

totally a waste of my time and sms.

and a few mins later, i got an sms again saying that her fren reccomended her to buy this book at 10 bucks from me.

and i din reply. in case she does the same trick to me again.

freaking hell. think i so hard up for ur 10 bucks ar.

2005-09-18T23:44:00.000-07:00

before the night's over, just wanna say

happy lantern festival! :)

i had a great day even without lanterns or mooncakes.

firstly, i think lanterns no longer excite me as much as before. and this yr the chinese garden displays aren't exciting.

also, i dun have a fetish for mooncakes either. except mabbe for the salted egg yolks inside the mooncake. heh.

whoever said that you must have either of the above on this day?

to me, having my family and loved ones by my side is more than enuf.

ok, mabbe i would like the moon as well! it's so beautiful tonight. =D

so no monday blues cos mid term break starts tmrw and finally this time round, i get the whole week off.

but it's goin to be a real busy week ahead. i promised many people i would lunch with them. hopefully i really find the time too!

happy week ahead! :)

2005-09-17T10:39:00.000-07:00

as time passes...

girls change while guys always remain the same?

i tried asking pple closer to me regarding my hair.

then generally,

gals would tell me its better to keep it short. (including my mummy)

and guys said gals with long hair look nicer.

*faints.

so two things i gathered,

one, either i really look better in long hair.

or two,
guys typically are still ah peks.

bleahs.

the later sounds more valid since the conclusion is guaranteed by the premises.

and

yay, i got up so early on a sat morning!

*hip hip hooray*

2005-09-16T21:51:00.000-07:00

B A H H h h h .....

the ramblings of someone home on a fri night.

b o o.

din have a very gd sleep last night. that resulted in a headache and fever. and paranoid me tot it was goin to be dengue. (especially since i just got a couple of bites 2 weeks back at cf bbq)

so after lunch i headed back to sleep to rest my headache.

got up not feeling any better. but thank god, it's subsided now.

i'm a much healthier person liaos.

anyway. roger sent me this song that's playing just now. at first i tot it was the mei li de ben nu ren song at first glance. then i realised it's the song that kelly sang at the finals.

c o o l. i tot it was really a damn touching song. so here goes. good things are meant to be shared. :)

i love kelly.

omg that sounds damn les.

anyway, now starting to have fun drawing venn diagrams in logic tutorial. never had so much fun doing tutorials before.

so my mood have been lifted.

anyway i had a very bad hair day so i tried tying my hair. den i realised its grown so long that it can be in a pony tail again. a really small one i guess.

and suddenly i missed my old ponytail.

wahaha fickle minded me.

anyway,

thank god for wonderful pple put into my life.

meanwhile, have a gd weekend pple and njoy the song! :)

被爱的女人

在镜子前面　我是个被爱的女人
他站在门外　这个周末我可以依赖在他的胸怀

在情人面前　我还是单身的女人
爱若缺了缘份
我想我只能用情至深但不能太认真

为什么被爱　有时却觉得悲哀
为什么我还是害怕一个人醒来
为什么相爱　日子却仍然空白
为什么你　走不到我的未来

让爱固定下来　我不会永远青春可爱
我的美丽要你的温柔帮我保留下来
让爱固定下来　我和你　不要不要分开
我不要爱一再一再彩排
* 我不是每次失恋后都能重新再来 *

2005-09-15T00:17:00.000-07:00

the dilemma

this is goin to be a very bimbotic post. hahaa but who cares.

i'm hating my hair now. it's growing longer so fast im wondering how come it nvr used to grow so fast. so now it's at the shoulders and getting quite unmanageable, meaning if i get up of bed, i look horrid.

b o o o o to bad hair days.

and the colour's fading badly. i need another colouring soon enough. i've been saying this to cheryl for at least the past 3 weeks.

just havent found the time to do it la. esp now me and ln havent been meeting up for our regular saloon trips.

so im just wondering if i shld trim it a bit and let it grow long again. or just cut it even shorter

comments, people?

not that many pple read my blog too. or rather i know people read it but don't comment.

anyway it sure feels good to know that some pple are pretty up to date with my blog. :)

2005-09-14T00:12:00.000-07:00

never in my life have i felt as stupid as i did almost each and every sch day this sem.

it certainly doesnt help that pple around u are so much smarter than you are with minimum effort.

i can swear i did study alot for this test. so much so that i overslept and missed the lecture this morning.

but it doesnt help that the test was blardy difficult. first time i stoned at the paper for quite a few mins.

RARRRRRRRRR.

suddenly i feel that effort is not directly proportional to doing well.

wish me luck pple, i think i need lots of it in this one year.

i think the only gd thing abt today was the trip back home.

argh.

it's really feels like the 13th of the month.

b a h h h h h

2005-09-09T21:37:00.000-07:00

someone once told me this.

" take time to look at the beautiful world and listen to life conversations"

this may not be the exact words but it was what i remembered it to be.

the above may sound be some line spoken without much tot. and to some of u, it might seem like some really cliche line.

but to me it lifted me up from the depth of despairs. and suddenly everything didnt seem too bad after all.

mabbe cos of this, i've grown stronger.

thank you very much.

2005-09-09T00:54:00.000-07:00

and so..

juss' new lancer finally arrived ~~in the mail~~ yday.

it was due for collection on mon,and i was pretty excited abt it(much more than him)

then it din arrive

then come tues,it still din come..

and when it finally came on wed, my excitement was almost gone.

but when i finally sat in the car for the first time, i was pretty much excited.

fiddling with the so cool stereo set, pushing the seat back and fro, opening all possible compartments that i could find, even including exploring the boot. (which btw is so empty now i feel that i can sleep in it)

and of cos, snapping fotos of it.

check out the lights.i love it when it's night time.

not forgetting to mention that he gave me a little surprise by turning up in school pretty much early to fetch me. and cos i wasn't prepared for it, that poor boy had to wait for 0.5 hrs.

and so, having a little time to spare, we drove to ~~fort canning park~~ mount faberwhere i took some fotos of the car. cannot take where there are too many pple ma. later pple think i'm sua ku.

so pardon me pple, i may seem like one such person but i have many reasons for doing so!

(1) this is the first time i went shopping for a car. not to mention pretty many places. including travelling to bukit timah in a bus and back. and we finally found the best buy. thanks to jz and xw! =)

(2)also the first time someone really close to me buys a new car. after all, i dun have a family car.

(3) i like the car so really much. cos it's in silver and i love the sports lights.

(4) most imptly, juss have been urging me to drive the car. which ive been pretty much touched by.

why?

cos everyone who knows me know i havent drove more than 20 times since i got my license in almost 2 yrs. and everytime i drive, there's always someone beside me, the person usu my uncle or juss. and the last time i drove with juss. i almost got into a major accident. which by the way is really major.

i was turning right and i din even bother to check traffic and i went off. (my theories of driving piled right at the back of my brain) and i almost collided with 2 cars coming from the right going straight. luckily the drivers had fast reactions.

phew.

that really shaken me. so i really dun dare to drive a car in the near future, much less a brand new car.

anyway. enuf abt this new addition.

we went to play mj at leoG's house later on. i din play much. but it was really a good break for the really hectic week. and i managed to watch initial D again.

i'm really glad the weekend is here. although i have a fm test next week. i just hope things turn out just right.

2005-09-06T23:34:00.000-07:00

it's pure bliss when after a 12-hr day at school, your other half who had worked more hrs den you comes from east to west just to ferry you home. and you get a chicken pie to eat on the trip :)

2005-09-04T19:15:00.000-07:00

havent blogged in a few days.

and besides, the weekend, the only other thing i've gotta talk abt is that

kelly lost the finals =(

(wahhaa, see cheryl, i'm blogging it!)

seriously, i think the loss was pretty unexpected. i din catch the show live. kinda watched it on fri morning but i felt she did a pretty gd performance, enjoyed her coco lee song so damn much but weilian was gd in his own ways too. his voice still melts my heart mans.

but in some ways im stil quite glad he won. and i just wished pple would stop saying that he won cos pple pity him.

give him some credit!

anyway, enuf of superstar.

it's sunday ~~again~~ .

weekend has passed me by so quickly yet again.

it was kinda a fun-filled weekend with minimum work done. (read: i'm so dead)

it was a weekend that din start off on a very gd note but thankfully ended nicely.

friday.

met up with some of juss' coursemates at wala wala. my 2nd time there. this time they din go up to where the live band was. we just sat outside and talked crap. or rather i listened to them crapping. it was quite funny actually. drank a bit of hoegarden cos juss wanted me to drive. but somehow in the end, i think he was more sober than me to drive. -.- '''

supper-ed at this bak chor mee stall at thomson. and i saw the famous prata there that i've yet to try! i wanna eat tissue prata. but majority wins so we settled for the bak chor mee which wasnt gd at all. i still prefer soup bak chor mee with meat balls! i miss 85.

mummy says i should stop eating supper before i become too fat. hahah. it's true. i've been supper-ing too much. super sinful.

but at least i made it a pt to sleep at least 2 hrs after that :)

saturday.

stayed home in the afternoon to try to do a bit of work. but stuck with hyp prog still and i dun really understand cf tutorial. felt damn demoralised.

then juss fetched me to beauty world, this plc in bukit timah. (i had and still dun have any idea where that is) met the cf pple to shop for food for our bbq at you hong's place.

nuggets, sausages, lotsa hashbrowns, chicken wings, strawberries! bananas with melted chocolate, very very nice dory fish with sambal (it was my fave) and cocktail with sprite(my first time trying it but it was really gd) . and some red wine. :)

the turnout wasnt too good so it ended up with us stuffing ourselves with lotsa food. but what was great was the company. nice meeting up everione again and got to know some others that i nvr really used to talk to in the past. i should learn to be more sociable man.

suddenly im kinda lookin forward to my working life. i hope all turns out well, especially my hyp.

ok, its time to start doing some serious work!

have a great week ahead, pple! =)

ps: im so excited abt tmrw, somehow.

2005-08-30T23:44:00.000-07:00

some shoutouts:

cheryl: did someone die in globet of fire? haha somehow i cant rem liaos leh

me: haha, oops yah it's dinner at science. but today i had dinner at arts!

jz: wonder if you will see this anytime soon. haha. nice meeting up on fridaY! many more such lunches to come? hehs take care gal *hugs*

xxxxxxx

nowadays i realised that i dun really mind being alone at times. (minus having meals)

when im at the lib trying to do some studying or tutorials, its quite nice being alone too! but somehow i still cant stand the idea of eating alone. =/

got home in record time today. coupled with six pieced nuggets meal for supper.

thankew you for the ride :)

seemed to keep getting hungry today. had lunch at 11 plus, 4 plus hungry liaos , had dinner at 5 plus, and hungry at 10.

but now im happily full

*burps*

i think its very xin fu to have supper, better still if it's either stingray + bak chor mee, prata or mac. i'm such a glutton. shared my meal with my sis while crapping.

my long long tuesdays are getting much much better somehow :)

2005-08-28T21:51:00.000-07:00

Harry potter and the globet of fire is finally coming! :) but in november that is.

no doubt i've been up to date with the hp books but i always enjoy watching the movie, somehow it's a very different feeling. some pple i know like to watch the movie but nvr reads the book. while others read the book and wouldnt want to watch the movie. i like both thou..

i waited like almost 1.5 yrs for it. yah i rem watching the previous movie on my bdae last yr. what a pleasant bdae gift :)

sometimes i wonder why i'm so captivated with the potter books and movie. mabbe that is a world so magical that shields me from the reality of life. which can sometimes be quite cruel.

xxxxx

life's been pretty gd to me in many ways. at least when all else fails, i know there's always my family to lean back on. sometimes including a few really close pple whom my life could almost depend on.

maybe it's that life's been so good that sometimes when it doesnt go right i somehow feel lost.

and i just wish that if life issen goin to be so smooth sailing all the time, then i rather not have any gd things elsei might just lose them anytime again.

some say that such is 曾经拥有, which is better than nothing.

i beg to differ. if something issen 天长地久, i rather not have it at all.

2005-08-28T04:01:00.000-07:00

fairy tales..

sometimes i wonder why do weekends pass so quickly and weekdays so slowly..

i am starting to dread school. and since the first week of school, im having monday blues everi sunday night.

ahh well..

but like i said, i chose this path and i hafta walk it no matter what.. its just that when other stuff are bugging me, i'm being pulled down yet again.

yes, i think i have very weak mental. i wish i can be more happy go lucky like some of my frens.

abt trust.

i'm someone who trusts pple very easily. especially pple who are pretty impt to me. but once the trust is broken, it's going to take me a long while before i start to trust someone again.

2005-08-26T18:19:00.000-07:00

this is so cute!

weekend is here..

but im feeling real stressed.

over hyp, over a program that doesnt work.

many other things.

they say that when you're at the pits, things just get better cos the only direction to go is upwards.

when will things get better?

even
"take time to look at the beautiful world and listen to life conversations" dont work anymore for me.

2005-08-24T22:02:00.000-07:00

yayyy

i finally got my hands on this.

i got the weilian one as well ar.

in the process of listening to them!

anyway was watching the superstar qian zou.

and

x one of the contestants, hagen actually dressed up like jerry yan!
x weicong sang tian kong
x jy sings jay's songs so damn well. first jie kou now qing tian

2005-08-24T14:42:00.000-07:00

randomness ..

wednesdays are one of my many fave days.

after 2 super siong days on sch on mon n tues. i get to wake up real late on wed.

yesterday was the ultimate longest day. was in sch from 10am -10pm. basically my tues goes like this

1000-1200 : ops management lec
1200-1600 : 4 hr break (lunch then HSSML lib)
1600-1700: ops tutorial
1700-1900: break again. (lunch at science)
1900-2200: fin maths lec.

and at the end of yesterday, i was already feeling giddy. eyes were going to close liaos. and i really hate the journey home after that. but luckily yesterday i had a ride home from cheryl and bf! =)

anyway, getting more used to sch now. trying to put the stress behind me and try to enjoy the remaining one yr of my study life.

at such times, i suddenly feel very grateful that no matter what happens, there's always some pple i could rely on. =)

some random stuff..

o i'm actually quite spoilt.
i know it's bad.but im also glad that there are actually pple who gives in to me.

o i have changed. no longer will i sulk and complain over past failed frenships. 2nd chances dun come easy. and i think ive given more than 2 chances.

o i can actually be damn frenly if i want to!

o i really dun understand why pple like to brag abt themselves having a bf/gf. a little talk abt them is fine. other than that, it makes me feel like u got attached for the sake of bragging. just my 2 cents worth.

alright, im actually trying to procrastinate doing work. that explains the random tots.

ohh. before i end. just wanna say

i miss these 3 gals so much..

sch is nvr the same without u guys!
hope that work's all fine mans :)

2005-08-21T08:04:00.000-07:00

friends or foes?

have been trying to do some work since i got home but to no avail. i think i havent gained the momentum yet.

that aside while blog-hopping just now which is what i njoy doing when i'm not in the mood for work, i started thinking of many stuff, most of it on the topic of friendship.

i always have this inability to judge the right person.

take one very good example which i keep mentioning now and then, my very first impression of juss wasnt too good. but when i got to know him better, i realised he's not what i tot him to be :)

a very apt quote to use would be:
looks are deceiving.

in fact most of my closest gal frens are pple whom i nvr had a good impression of at the beginning.

in my own case, many pple think i got a very icy cold look. in other words, the very dao look. but if u actually take the time to know me better, i can be the crappiest person around.

so anyway, back to the topic of friends.

definitions of frenships differ from person to person.

2005-08-19T00:55:00.000-07:00

my super superstar!!

Y-A-Y!!!

im so happy now im all smiles.

i wasnt quite lookin forward to watching tonight's finals cos i heard that kelly did quite badly. (and i din get my preferred tut slot so i wasnt in much mood)

and i was afraid that she wuld lose so i decided to take more fotos of her!! that sounds so lesbian-ish.

she looked so damn chio in all 3 outfits.

and she emerged the female superstar!! :)

i wanted her to win so much that after the competition, i msn pple to vote her and even smsed some. i know that sounds mad but i just din want a repeat of singapore idol. wahaha.

thanks to those who helped me vote mans! esp when some dun even watch the show. wahaha.
(now the next thing u need to do is to go n buy her single! it counts for 30% leh! haha)

and to those who refused me, i can only say
may the best man win and the best man did win.
(oops, think im getting a little carried away. but im kinda pissed at how some pple change the pple they support just cos the other contestant was improving. i mean kelly is the one who's truly consistent. and i will nvr forget how she was kicked up thou she had the higher marks that time)

why i wanted her to win so much is cos i feel that there was biasedness among the judges. and looks, dress sense, smile, talent wise she's the winner.

and she truly deserves it after the splendid performance at revival rnd. her win is justified.

(some other shots i took)

moving on to the guys side, although ive always supported weilian cos of his courage, i dun deny a part of me was looking forward to buying junyang's single of tong hua cos his performance was really great.

it was kinda disappointing when he got booted out although i'm happy that weilian got it too.

dilemna. haha. i have not much comments abt the guys side seriously.

just so happy that kelly woN!!!!

LA-LA-LA-LA-LA

now the qs is who to support for the finals!

2005-08-17T17:07:00.000-07:00

salmon sashimi galore

after a few days of not blogging, finally a happier entry. have been feeling very down for the past few days due to some internal struggle. i flared up more easily and got upset over little stuff. those who got it from me, thanks for bearing with me :D especially juss i think who got the max of it all.

anyway, so i didnt have a very good weekend.

sat was spent doing some reading. and sun was spent with tuition and st pats band concert. which wasnt too good i should say. so much for all the good comments i heard. haha.

anyway, didnt i just say that it was supposed to be a happier blog?

okies here goes..

so in an attempt to cheer me up, juss brought me to kuishinbo on monday. and yes, ive been wanting to try it for a very long time. and usually it's like others dun agree to eat it or it was the wrong timing.

the food was damn good. the prawns were fresh, they had snow crabs, tempura and lotsa salmon sashimi.the teppanyaki was good too. i liked the garlics fried with it. so tasteful that i actually wanted to finish them up. but decided against it. also, i had so much salmon that is enuf to last me 6 mths.

i think my meal consisted mainly of sashimi and i had abt 20 + pieces of it.

this was my first plate.
(it looks pretty untidy cos i was too excited to tuck in that i cant be bothered to make it look nice in a foto :P)

took a little bit of tuna and swordfish to try but i really didnt like it as much as salmon.

juss even said
" you should eat all the salmon u want now so dun have to eat again"

-.-'''''

so yeah, we spent the rest of the time (when we were full) laffing at pple who were rushing to get the premium specials. it goes like this, every few mins they will have an announcement that goes " 1, 2, 3 kuishinbo.. blah blah" and u're supposed to go queue up somewhere to get the premium items they were giving out. each time there were onli 20 plates i think.

well, of cos we also went to get it. juss did, i didn't. since i am always paiseh to do such stuff. haha.

that's him looking so proud with his lobster.

deserts were quite good as well, although i was too full to eat much. but the chocolate eclairs were good! i had 3 of them.

ohh and there were candy floss too. havent had it in a long long time :)

most importantly the drinks were free flow. i seldom have buffets with free flow drinks(besides iced water)

at the end of the buffet, i was so full i could hardly move. but nevertheless, i was feeling pretty much happier at the end of it. mabbe i'm such a glutton after all. hehs.

i really think im going crazy.

these days ive been feeling very unsettled. i duno if im too stressed.

chanced upon someone's blog just now and she still haunts me alot

mabbe it's the result of being home alone almost the entire day.

sick. sorethroat and feeling a little feverish.

what is exactly wrong with me?

ARGH.

updates....

these few days i've been feeling a little stressed up, thou its onli been 2 days since the start of the sem. of cos, ive already started to feel the difficulty of 4th yr. less pple around and its scary to see that each class has like 20 + pple.

fewer pple means more competition.

it's weird but that's how it works.

anyway, i tried to escape from my stress and take things easier but sometimes when other things get me down, my false front breaks down and i realise that im actually pretty much stressed up.

hoping i survive this yr without too much difficulties.

a fren told me something like this:

"don't care about the others la. if you're there, you're there"

altho this sentence was prob spoken without much tot and although i might not really be there, but somehow i felt quite relieved to hear that.

and i think its true, sometimes the lesser u care abt pple's progress, the better u wuld feel abt urself.

and i always have to say this, no matter how the tough gets going, i've gotta put in more n more hard work cos i chose this path myself :)

moving onn..

just got back from lunch @ crystal jade with my ex-colleagues. we had noodles and dim sum. it is always nice meeting them. a good break from mundane sch stuff.

my sup helped me find some info from bloomberg so i bought them some chicken pies that din cost a lot. and she was so appreciative of it.

she's gonna give birth soon and she told me that my junior said that she shld name her daughter wanlin.

*-*''''

somehow my internship in the bank was made so much easier with the nice pple around who were there for me when i had problems with work. that's y i always make it an effort to go back n visit them during hols.

i think that's me. i value the past a lot. like till now i'm still in good contact with my babysitter who took care of me since young. she's like a god mother to me lor.

but sometimes, hanging on to the past may not always be a good thing.

shopped around alone after that. somehow i like shopping alone at times cos it gives me some time by myself to think abt things. it's actually a very peaceful feeling.

but one thing bad is that i will buy things on impulse.

but oh well, retail therapy always works on me.

time flies and its friday again!
happy weekend, world! :)

one for the nation ..

happy national day!!

and most importantly, happy birthday to my dearest sis! =)

back from a last min mj session at leonard's house. din get to play too much. and feeling sulky cos of that. wahaha. cos i was already so damn tired from school. and having nothing to do makes me feel more lethargic.

anyway, highlight of the day outta be our dinner cum supper.

went to dine at jackson's kopitiam. i tot it was wad nice place. to think it was actually this 24 hr kopitiam near macpherson. which i ALWAYS pass by.

aniwae.. we had alot of food.
sambal stingray :)
sambal kangkong
fried you tiao
tofu.
prawn paste chicken

and this.

it's apparently called gong gong. it looks like escargots aka snails.

rem last time i had escargots in paris. i wanted to puke the whole thing out.

so i was a little hesistant abt trying this. but anyway i did. i'm a sucker for seafood.

and it was absolutely great. no funny smell or taste. and its really good. nicer than topshell or oysters(alright, i nvr really liked oysters)

yayy.. one more type of seafood to add to my already fave list.
crabs. prawns. stingray. salmon. sotong.

and the list goes on. just thinking of it makes me hungry. the stingray was so small it wasn't enuf to satisfy me.

anyway. speaking of first day of sch.

it was damn tiring. 9-6. so unused to the 1 hr plus of travelling. plus i waited 25 mins for the bloody 151 to come. late for 20 mins.

anyway. when the bus came, it was superbly crowded.

and i was happy to find a seat beside this guy. anyway. so this guy was apparently quite quiet and all.

all until his fren came up the bus. the 2 spoke like they havent met in ages. from modules bidding to holiday trips to why 151 buses are mostly not air conditioned. u get the idea mans.

it's like i was sitting beside one of the guy and his fren was standing beside me and both of them were practically shouting throughout the journey as if i was invisible.

come on, of cos u can talk but dun shout like there's no tomorrow lor.

and guess what i had to find out they were from the same sch. not onli that, they were from E*G*NE. (fill in the blanks, ln)

i mean this cfm my doubts that all E*G*NE guys are of the same type lor.

be more considerate la. make my bus journey so miserable.

anyways. i was feeling a little stressed abt the new sem. cos it seems like a new start to everithing. less frens, meaning less pple to talk to, less pple to destress. but i guess sometimes changes arent that bad after all.

at least i started to talk more to wy. its always good to know more pple.

okies, tmrw's public hol and wed is my off day. 2 more days of holidays.

what more can i ask for? =)

happy holidays pple!

super superstar

wooohooo..

i hope she makes it to be the eventual superstar.

kelly really rocks. versatile, pretty and her singing rox. she's so good that the judges are arguing for her.

and double yay.. kelvin is in stil! although i heard he performed badly last night.

for the past few times, i really hated the fact that jason gets in when he wasnt good enuf. but today when he got kicked out, i suddenly felt he so ke lian. oops.

mabbe it's all the tears they shed that touched me. i know there have been reports that its very superficial and all. but to me, its actually a strong display of frenship. i mean they are all humans as well. after spending a few mths together, sure develop feelings de.

everyone is a winner in their own ways.

ohh. went mambo last night.

before

[it was my first time taking bus to zouK!]

and

after

(din manage to get the rest fotos up here. cos they seemed to be afraid that i would post it here)
*faints.

haha, dearest cheryl was so ons to agree even thou she didnt know anyone in the grp.

i give the outing a 7 /10. company was always good. drinks as well. i love my top.

but a disagreement. lousy dj. and yah, my heels were hurting.

ahh well. i was a quite high too. said and done things i wouldnt usually do. but what's over is over. no pt for regrets.

ok, my blogging juice ran dry.

im off to bed soon.

it's the last weekday of the school holidays :(

2005-08-03T13:57:00.000-07:00

mambo night..

it was good cos'
x i like retro music
x had lotsa drinks.
2 lychee martinis, one vodka ribena, one sex on the beach, corona, and a little bit of barcardi freeze.
x company was almost quite good. yeah, but i stress the almost. oh and cheryl went too! hehs. so ons to agree man.
x and i m really glad to realise pple do care. esp when u think u are not close enuf with them.
x and i like my new top a lot.

there were hiccups thou
x the dj wasnt that good
x disappointment
x my heels were hurting like mad.
x being drunk is no good.

today i think i was a little high. to do some things i normally wouldnt do under normal circumstances. i almost did sth i nvr dreamt i wuld ever do.

the result of being high.

luckily i din do it mans. a lot of things wuld change. thank god for the other half of my mind that was clear.

said some things that i regretted. and then i realised that there could be a few good pts abt such things happening.

at least i found out that although words are cheap, i still like to hear consoling words.

i mean come to think of it, if someone really is so fake, at least he/she is still nice enuf to come up with some words to console u. so how fake can he/she be?

more so for those pple who didnt even bother. where were u mans?

yes, i cant believe im staying up to type this blog. mabbe i have too mani things up my mind so i cant sleep. too full from the supper too.

of buses, shopping and food.

today, on the way home, juss and me were wondering if there's bus no. 1. we all know abt bus 2 that goes to eunos and bus 3 that's at tampines.

soooo..

i found out that there's actually no bus 1.
from http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/geninfo_buservices.asp

there's also no bus 4, 5.
no bus 20, 41, 43, 44..

wahhaha. and the list goes on. and that's how bored i am.

o.o''''

lalalala.

ok, today i went on a shopping trip.

and i found my pencil case!

at accessorize. and it's supposed to be a make up pouch actually. but who cares. i like to use as pencil case.

its the 2nd time i went back to take a look at it. and finally decided to get it!

and so it seems that actually i shop very carefully now. i dun buy on impulse anymore. it's usually after considering for at least the 2nd time :)

ohhh.. and ive been indulging in a lot of food these days. i think im putting on a lot of weight. sighs.

it was kenny rogers for ydae lunch.

then met rq and diana later on for crystal jade la mian and xlbs.

and almost everyday i have tea break.
*faints.

some other random shots

(ln! can see my hair liaoss?)

wahaha ohh and this

i think this bean is really cute!

speaking of which i seemed 2 have adopted an acquired taste for soya bean drinks.

i used to hate it a real lot.

ok, signs of blabbering..

parkway and me..

went parkway for the 3rd/4th time in the week today.

my mum and sis asked me the same question when i got home.
" why do u always go parkway? there's like nth to shop there."

wahha. i beg to differ. i simply love going to parkway in tshirt n shorts.

and it seems that everitime i cant find something elsewhere, i can always find it at parkway.

in fact,

parkway is filled with my sec sch memories.

many places thou are no longer there.
the ban mian stall at foodcourt.
long john silver's.
mac and mos' burgers
the bubble tea shop
the old library
tuition on thurs n sundays
steamboat!
neoprint machines

now parkway has a new face lift. but i still like it alot. there's..

giant.
a bigger n nicer watson's
marvellous durian icecream at scoopz
ig's heaven
charles and keith

in fact, it has almost everything. u name it they have it.

ohh, not forgetting sakura and sakae sushi. yumms.

what's lacking is a movie theatre.

in fact, i love parkway so much that i also wanna stay in the new condo just beside parkway! :)

Côte d'Azur

p/s: this is like such a crappy entry.
i just want to blog but i duno wad to blog. -.-

fears ... ...

mahjong-ed today. simply wasnt in the mood. my mind was perhaps somewhere far far away. lost eventually but not much.

today made me feel that i really worry too much.

first, grandpa's in ICU.

yeah, for such things i know it's better to remain optimistic.

ahh well. this is typical of me. worrying abt things like if the lift door will close on me when i enter the lift or being scared of a cat brushing against my leg.

yes, such things sound stupid to most.

on the way home just now in roger's car, there was a very bad jam allthe way to my house. i felt damn bad abt it. cos they were supposed to go play pool.

and when approaching my house, we realised there was a major accident. suddenly my tots ran wild cos earlier on i msged my mum and she din reply me which was unusual.

i was damn worried all the way back. altho i din show it.

when i exited from the lift and saw that my front door wasnt latched properly. for the first time, i was freaking happy. cos that's characteristic of my daddy.

xxxx

yeah, mabbe i think too much and worry too much abt unneccesary stuff which usually turned out to b false alarms.

feeling really incoherent.

i should go sleep soon.
