2007-01-07T10:57:00.000-08:00

i have been putting on a brave front, walking through it as if everything is fine
but tonight, i feel like i am all alone
there is nothing that can replace this emptiness i feel within me
and i guess i have to live through it slowly and painfully

Outings with my old classmates and friends!!

As promised from my last entry, i have some photos to upload from my outings with friends during the last few days of 2006.
on 27th i think, i went to meet ong lai! my favourite girlfriend who is always on for watching movies. i always catch a movie with her when we meet up, so in a way, she is my best movie kaki. haha. we went to shop in vivo but i dont recall buying many things as i had jus came back from bangkok and had definitely bought many things there. vivo is nice for shopping if you dont go there too often. going there once in a mth is always kinda refreshing. maybe its the boutiques, maybe its the whole ambience of vivo. so far, i havent gotten sick nor tired of vivo yet, despite increasing complaints from my friends that vivo is boring. haha. we went to watch the holidays, a movie i had initially wanted to watch with wk but he didnt want to. forget it man. i was so glad that ong lai wanted to watch that as well, so i had a date with her!! it was quite a good movie. i wont say its exactly memorable, cus its something u watch and u forget about it in a few mths time. well, there was cameron diaz and jude law which made me very happy cus i love jude law. he is just soooooooo handsome!! haha. and this is me and shereen aka ong lai. haha! gonna meet her again tml for another movie, confession of pain. my favourite tony leung and takeshi!!

on 28th, i went to meet my JC galfrens! havent seen maryanne in 3yrs i think. it had been such a long time since i had a gathering with the whole grp. i had met minyi and manyi separately but never as a whole grp with maryanne! so you can imagine my exhilaration when i saw the girls! we went for a KTV session and then late dinner. it was really great seeing the girls, and catcing up on old times and letting each other in on what is happening to us at the moment. we had even made it a point to meet each other monthly or once every two mths. it ll be great to catch up with them often! we wana go to settlers' cafe next! cus i havent been there before. haha. maybe we ll go during the 4th week of jan, since next sunday i am meeting elrica already, and the 3rd sunday of jan, we r gonna celebrate my brother's bday. so, i guess i ll organise one outing on 4th sunday of jan. yippee!! i love my jc galfrens alot. and i think its extremely impt to keep in contact with all your friends in order to keep the friendship going strong. if you do not try to do so and take ur friends for granted, one day, you ll find that they had slowly left you. its something i had experienced before a long time ago, but since, i had never taken my friends for granted anymore. =)
and thats manyi n minyi, maryanne and me!! i love the girls so much. and i cant wait to see u girls again!!

we knew that it ll be a long time before we met up again so we took many photos on our own using the self timer function. haha. which explains why the photos either have too little headroom or too much headroom. hah. i only gotta say i miss these girls so much and i really want to see them soon!! love you girls! =)

on 30th i went to meet the 2/4 girls!! i havent seen them in such a long while, esp girls like eileen and suli. all of them were there except suli! i miss you suli! but we had a fun time on the whole. we bought fake eyelashes and did the girly stuff like talk about bfs, (for me, its ex bf, haha) and had dinner then chilled out at TCC. i was really envious of the girls cus they were all happily in love. it made me feel like i wana fall in love again when i was with them. haha. meijing was really nice to me, she kept asking me to move on and find someone better cus she felt that wk dint deserve me at all. thanks gal! i appreciate your advice! too bad yufei had to go off immediately after dinner as she had to work. so the rest of us chilled out at TCC till late at night. before fei left, i took a photo with her! i couldnt miss the chance to take a photo with her cus i know that i wont see her anytime soon! it was so nostalgic just seeing th girls once more. all the way from sec one!! me and feifei!

before we left TCC, i took a photo with the rest of the girls as well. presenting to you the lovely babes from 2/4!!

yeah man, that was a whole week of meeting up with all my favourite girlfriends!! i really miss all of them alot and cant wait to see them soon! love you girls! =) more on NYE countdown at meiji's house in the next entry/ it was lots and lots of fun! haha.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Hey ppl, its a whole new year again! Time flies, doesnt it? I feel like i had barely done anything much and the year is gone. Recalling the year of 2006, i say that it had been a rather fulfiling year. It had also really been a very DRAMATIC one as well. haha. Thinking back, i feel that getting to know Carrie from Michigan is a highlight. She had let me in alot on her American culture and how different it is from Singapore's. The endless partying nights with her had been really fun too. I miss you, Carrie. Another highlight would be Samuel's superband competition. Going to support him at mediacorp every week and getting to know many other ppl from the competition had been a fun one. It was great experience knowing these ppl cus i know that they are very good contacts that i need for my reporting next time as well. hehe. and Diya got into Superstar and is currently doing extremely well in the competition. she is now in the top 3 of the girl's category. Everyone, we gotta give her lotsa support! jia you Diya! One more highlight would be that i got the best results of my uni life in year 2 sem 2. Have never seen so many As in my uni life before. That was a very huge encouragement to me. Somehow, all the fulfiling things seemed to happen in the first half of the yr while the dramatic things happen in the second half. haha.

for the dramatic parts, wow, a whole lot. my very dramatic break up with him had finally ended.We broke and patch so many times and last yr october, he decided to end it once n for all. it was heartbreaking and certainly not for the faint hearted, i.e. me. i am such a hopeless romantic at heart, and i felt so upset for the past few months. it was so hard to get by and i spend every single night, without fail, drowning in my pool of tears. my social life dwindled and all i can remember is waking up to tears, calling him and crying till he hung up on me, and then slping in my tear-drenched pillows. it was horrible. it is probably one of the most dramatic thing that had ever happened in my life considering that i had never taken any past relationships as seriously before. well, we are still friends now, and i am slowly embracing singlehood. :) so, i guess it is probably and hopefully, a blessing in disguise.

and then, the second dramatic thing would have to be internship. it was a whole lot of disappointment and competition and mounting tension. friends who were vying for the same company found it weird and awkward to speak to each other. everyone felt nervous waiting for the interview results to be out, and for me, it was so disappointing when i knew that i was rejected. but as i mentioned before, things happen for a reason and i am glad that i got into sph. but hell yeah, it was such a dramatic period for all of us.

then there was the conflict between me, hsu and sy. it was crazy, ridiculous and funny, on hindsight. things could have been different if we handled everything differently. dramatic, yes. do i regret it? no. for me, whatever's happened cannot be changed, so i am fine with the outcome. at least i dont need to pretend to be nice to her in sch if i see her now. i can just ignore her openly, which is good!! :)

and then there was the conflict with 3 ppl in sch. not exactly a direct conflict but something that snowballed till almost everyone in sch got to know it. well, that is like the most dramatic thing i had experienced in sch in 2006. it is so scary!! haha.

ok, seems like all the dramatic things really happened in the second half of the yr. but 2006, despite all its downs and dramas, had been fulfiling for me in terms of school n internship company. :) in terms of my love life, i guess i have to cope slowly. life goes on without him!! i had met up with many friends lately and i am gonna post some of our photos up in my next entry! have you all written down ur resolutions? i had! and i am going to fulfil them! love, jaws.

An amazing Xmas dinner

I went for xmas dinner with wk yest night, 21st Dec. 21st used to hold a really special meaning for us. but not anymore... we wanted to catch a movie but GV was kinda screwed up. i tried to book tickets online twice n both they said booking confirmed but turned out it wasnt. so i was so pissed i decided to go down to buy tickets myself. but when i reached plaza, the tickets were only left for first 4 rows. so forget it man. we decided to just have a good dinner at cartel. actually wanted fish n co but i figured there would be many ppl too. so we settled for cartel which was very crowded as well. but it was sooooooooooooooooo fun!! i really miss him man. the dinner was perfect. nothing else better could have happened yest. wow! i really had such a happy time yest! wana relive it again!! =)=)=)

2006-12-21T09:14:00.000-08:00

Wow!! What an amazing week!! =)

This week had been really amazing. I came back fm Bangkok on sunday n saw meiji's sms that there is a KTV session on mon so i decided to go despite having not pack my luggage! haha. i am so glad to see my uni clique again! its nice seeing you all, miss you all soooooooooooo much. colin, meiji, shimin, irwin. too bad juice,el and hsu were not there. but we had great fun doing stupid things like not paying for my share, bitching about jenny, and stressing out over story ideas for internship. we also discussed what to wear on first day of internship. hahaha. it was great fun!! i miss colin esp, cus he went to taiwan n havent seen him for long. We gonna have a kickass countdown party on the 31st at meiji's house!! Yoohoo! i think we gonna turn her house upside down! haha. too bad i forgot my camera that day. din take photos. i love my uni clique!! MUACKS! i miss elrica, hsulin and justina!! see u on 31st! =)

then on tues, it started to rain CATS n DOGS. was supposed to meet onglai for movie but the rain was just crazy. i decided not to go out in the end cus i HATE the rain and i couldnt bear the thought of running thru the rain n risk getting drenched even with a huge umbrella. i am sorry gal! sorry that i couldnt make it that day!! luckily, i m meeting shereen on 26th for movie. so happy n excited! cant wait!! miss you gal. :(

wed i went to meet curtis for xmas shopping!!
xmas shopping with curtis is great! he is such a good shopper. super on!! i m glad that our friendship all the way fm alley bar survived till now! i believe in maintaining friendship with all my friends so i am really happy that me n curtis are still good buddies even though i had quit alley bar long ago. he is my best buddy fm alley bar man. always make me laugh n have mee pok at my house downstairs at 4am after work last time. with willy, mabel, tony, my sis, alan.. so fun lah!! i kinda miss alley bar days. they were crazy n fun. curtis is a friend who always make me laugh. and i believe that friends who make you laugh are the best for keeps. =) we went to vivo to shop for presents and i bought a shot glass, a card, and a funky box for wk. curtis is mad!! he bought over $100 worth of things for all his frens. so nice! we took some photos outside vivo cus the view is terrific. its such a romantic n lovely place to chill out with ur frens or other half. :) i think i am a romantic at heart. haha. anyway these are the photos of me n curtis.

After 4 hrs of xmas shopping, we headed to food republic for my FAVOURITE HOKKIEN MEE!!

everytime i go food republic, i ll eat the hokkien mee regardless of the queue. and i rem i even quarrelled with wk last time cus i wanted to eat it n he dint want to cus the queue was very long. haha. cant believe we quarel over that. its so funny just thinking back.
anyway, i think food republic's decor really rocks lah!! the one at vivo is even better than the one at wisma. it is so much more old school!! I have never loved food courts, in fact i detest them. but food republic rocks my world!! it has helped boost the image of food courts in sgp. haha.

So fun lah! shopping with curtis!! i am gonna meet him again hopefully next week to go down to Wine Flair to chill out. See if i still have money left! :)

Rest of my days at Bangkok!! =)

Well, the rest of the days in bangkok were lots of shopping! hahah. i was too busy shopping that i din ve time to take photos. haha. bought soooooooooooooo many pretty clothes back! woohoo! i think i am NEVER shopping in Singapore again. haha.

We went to this pretty botanic garden where we got to see the thai cultural show which was pretty enriching. they performed a cultural dance, thai boxing and other good shows. i kinda enjoyed it except for the fact that they allowed too many ppl into the venue and there were no seats. haha. this is a photo of the thai boxing match. it's just a performance though, not a real match.

After the show, we went to take a walk in the botanic garden and we took lots of pretty photos there! there were many pretty displays made from these small clay cups. my family managed to sneak in some time to take photos of the beautiful surroundings. yippee! =)

Thats my grandparents! i love them so much. check out the surroundings. its so surreal and pretty. being there really does wonders for the soul. i miss bangkok!! :(

look at the 1st picture. that is an elephant display made of tiny clay cups!! isnt it amazing? my family just had to take a photo with it. heh. and the 2nd photo is jus me and my sis acting vain. haha.

and thats a TUK TUK made of tiny clay cups! its really really cool man.thats my mummy who is the "driver", and me n my younger sis behind. i love this photo! so cute! haha. The 2nd photo is my family again with a butterfly made of clay cups too. i think thai are so skilled. they can make anything with their agile hands!! wow. i really have an urge to document thais and their ways of life. mmm.

and my family! all of us present except my dad cus he is the camera person! too bad he isnt in the photo, if not it is really "quan jia fu".

We also went to DreamWorld!! It's really a heaven for ppl who love thrills! its so much better than erm, pasir ris theme park. hahaha. The entrance!

There are many places for you to take photos near the entrance of the amusement park. it took us a long long while before we got to the rides because we were so captivated by the surroundings and were busy taking lots of photos. here are some of them!!

i think its a very romantic place to visit if both u and ur bf/gf loves to go to the amusement park. there are many areas designed specially for photo taking. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car of love! haha. i think it would be so romantic if me n wk came here the last time we came thailand! its very very prettty n its like a wedding car made of preetty heart shapes. and in case u are wondering, there r all made of flowers n leaves. really pretty n cool. Do come here with ur loved ones for a holiday next time! you will love it! and u ll ve many more pretty photos to keep! =)

We also went to this Giant's House in which everything inside belongs to this sleeping Giant. i could feel the kid in me again when i went in, like how i used to believe there were giants in the world. everything inside was humongous!! look at the rocking chair n dining chair! they can easily fit all of us in and more!!

And... Time for the rides!! We took all the rides inside but only a few photos cus after a couple of rides, you tend to forget about photo taking which became a hassle. hahah. frankly speaking, the rides were not very scary. as compared to Genting, the rides are like 100 times milder. genting ones are damn hiong! haha. but the viking was scary. i screamed till my heart n lungs almost dropped out. hahha.

and then, time for some more photo taking before we bid farewell to lovely DREAMWORLD...

THe 4 of us became famous overnight by winning the "Dream World Bodybuilding World Champion" held in Thailand. look! everyone is asking for a pose from us!! hehe.

Lastly... Check out my sexy Grandad and Grandma as The Flinstones!! Super adorable! Cheers to sexy grandparents!! Woot woot!! =)

I LOVE my family! muacks!! :*****

BANGKOK ROCKS!!

Hey people! i am back fm bangkok! what a kickass trip!! the trip was soooooooooooooo fun, i dint wana come back at all. it really did alot for my soul as i just relaxed and spent quality time with my family. i loved it. thats me and my sis on the first day in bkk! =)

this trip is kinda different fm my previous one cus all i did was shop thruout the 5days when i was there in july. but this time, as we went with a tour, we went to all the tourist attractions. it was so fun lah!

on the first day, we visited the chao phrya river n we got to see the ppl living by the sea & their way of lives. it was quite an eye opener. it makes me want to embark on a photojourn FYP on the thai ppl living by the sea and their way of lives. but nope, i already formed my FYP group n i LOVE my grp, and we are definitely not doing photojourn FYP. hahha. but well, the ppl there used their sampan boats to sell fruits and little souvenirs to earn their money and it was really encouraging to know how ppl are contented with their lives even though it is very simple.

we also went to the tiger zoo and i got to carry a tiger cub!! it was kinda scary cus the tiger cub was very heavy, but it was hell of an experience man. :) i also hugged a baby orang utan who is soooooooooo adorable. i want him as my pet! =) we also saw the crocodile show n the tiger show. they were amazing. it was really scary seeing the trainers perform difficult tricks with the fierce animals. my heart skipped a beat when the crocodile trainer put his head into the crocodile. havent got the photos yet, they r with my sister who refuses to pass me the photos yet. damn it. the photos are really nice! will update in the next entry when i get the photos!

we went to see the elephants dance too, and they are such clever animals! they noe what steps to dance in accordance to the rhythm. they are such amazing animals! i really love the elephants, they are very cute. this is one of their performances.

i can even imitate how they dance now. haha. its really hilarious. me n my younger sis kept imitating the elephants' dance for my family and got them rolling in laughters. =) i love my family man. this trip has brought us even closer together, and i am so happy. i am a happy gal!! heh.

on the 2nd day, we headed over to pattaya beach for all the sea sports! yoohoo! the beach there is just so beautiful. the water is so clear and there were so many sea sports at such cheap prices. we took the speed boat fm pattaya to the pattaya beach. the ride there was fun sia. very fast n bumpy. my mom's cap almost flew off. haha. look at my family's faces. so funny! hehe.

& this is our tour guide who is very nice! her name is Nina. kinda miss her n her gentle thaiaccent.

it was so sunny at the beach! the weather was perfect, the water was clear, the things they sell were cheap, everything was great about pattaya (except the unexceptionally happening nightlife who made me a little scared haha). i hate rainy singapore. :( i dun wana be here, where it rains everyday. boohoo. yah, we took the speed boat to a dock where we did PARASAILING!! i have always wanted to do parasailing man. imagine just flying on a parachute and seeing the world below you. oh my god. it rocks!! it was quite scary at first but after a while it became very exciting! i really had fun doing parasailing n i wana do it again if i have the time! thats me fm afar. i know its small. hahah.

thats my mommy n my sis. my mom dint do the parasailing though. she was kinda scared. haha.

and my siblings and my Dad! waiting for our turns at the parasailing thingy. it was a rather long queue. we were all kinda scared yet excited!! =)

after the parasailing, we headed for the beach where all of the girls fm my family did manicure n braided our hair. so cheap n so nice! thailand rocks lah!!

i also tried banana boat with my siblings n dad n then we jus swam for a while in the clear waters out at sea n then headed back to pattaya. it was such a fulfiling and wonderful 2nd day spent in thailand. that was actually one of my best days there. thailand rocks. i am going back to pattaya next july i guess, wana just stay there n enjoy all the water sports. and go parasailing again! actually, banana boat is more fun eh.. everyone shd try banana boat once in their life yah? its really fun!! =) more updates about my other days in bangkok in my next entry! love. =)

2006-12-09T01:52:00.000-08:00

A wonderful Friday night - simple and early.

I went to meet Liya & HweeSim for shopping n dinner yest. It was really really great seeing u gals yest! i love galfriends!! We went ard far east plaza, i saw so many clothes i like but all of them can be found in Bangkok!! so i decided not to buy any of them n go bangkok to shop. Woot woot!! =) Gals, i will see u again when i come back fm Bangkok! yay!

I dint go Zouk yest. cus my slping habits r sooooooo screwed. and i wanted to wake up early today. but in the end, i woke up at 5pm today! SHIT. i am so upset. i wana wake up earlier!! I cant stand this screwed up slping habits anymore. hai.

alright, anyway gals, new item up on my online shop!! check it out! http://vintageaffairs.livejournal.com/1502.html#cutid1

pretty carousel studs!! =)

Love, jaws.

2006-12-07T09:57:00.000-08:00

These few days had been great! My online shop is starting to take flight. which is a really encouraging thing to me!! :) Gals, more items ll be up real soon!! :)

I saw Kuek fm Lucify at Yishun yest and i went to chat with him for a while. he is a really friendly and nice person. to think that i used to admire him alot as he is a really good & cute bassist! Here is a picture of him:
Alright, enough of the ogling. Yah, was kinda happy to see a bassist that i really admire n like. =) way to go, Kuek!!

Then i went to meet Hsulin n Cheryl for some shopping! It had been nice seeing you gals! I havent seen hsulin since French exams, i think. After that, met peggy n michelle for clubbing action! yoohoo! Guess who i saw the moment i was at the entrance of Zouk. I saw Ren. *screams* wow. he looks HOT. and he is HOT. i kept staring at him n i was contemplating if i shd talk to him. and i thought, it ll be better to talk to him when i get into phuture cus it wont be so awkward.
A jug of long island tea later, i was ready. i saw him on the dance floor n i went up to him n talked to him. He actually remembers me! haha. He reminds me of Nic Teo. (ppl who hate Nic Teo, pls dont puke.) yah, Ren is tall, has a good built, has long hair and always wear a cap. sounds like Nic Teo? haha. He looks a little like Nic but i think he is cuter. well, i dint wanna dance with someone i dunno well,plus i was with my girlfriends, so i went off after we talked a little. just a little. an hour later, i saw him in another girl's arms, smooching passionately. Well, clubbing. expected. I was chatting with Derek just now n he said, why not? He is good looking, it is not surprising that he is doing that. and i thought, yah. how true. Guys always go clubs to hook up gals. even wk said the same thing. which is why he doesnt like clubbing n he doesnt like me to go clubbing when we were together.

well, for me, clubbing is more like an eye candy fest. i mean, me, colin n friends were just commenting on how Singaporeans r getting uglier. I used to see many cute guys or pretty gals on a friday night in town. but suddenly, they r all gone. BUT, a wednesday night in Zouk always guarantee results. The club is ALWAYS filled to the brim with HOT CUTE ppl. well, not quite to the brim. we needa throw out some ugly ones. heh.

yep, seeing R in the club was kinda surprising. and kinda nice. i dunno y though. but yes, the night had been really fun. esp when Peggy n Michelle were ard. =) Love u gals!

Went to meet wk for dinner today. Subway followed by coffee at Starbucks. It was fun. Nostalgic. I MISS HIM. We just sat ard, talked about anything under the sun. i miss the good ole days. Tell me, how can i ever get over him? Being ard him is so comfortable and i really miss the times when we first got together n would just hang ard starbucks or coffee bean for a drink, soaking in the saturday night ambience and enjoying each other's company. aargh. the nostalgia is washing me over!! well, i am glad we both had a happy time out today. gonna meet him again after i come back fm bangkok. Weeeeeeeeeee!!

and yes! I am going to Bangkok next week! Wont be back till next Sunday. Woot Woot! gonna buy lotsa clothes! wana buy office clothes there too. i mean, there r so damn cheap! yay man. buy new yr clothes n office wear there. rocks!! Shit, my wardrobe is BURSTING. think i m gonna sell off some of my clothes soon. haha. yeah man, cant wait for the trip with my enitre family. yay!! So excited about it! gonna bring my parents to suan lum to get cheap good buys!! WOot!

okay, gonna meet Hwee Sim to go Vivo tml. I lurve my secondary school mates. You girls & guys rock my world!! and my uni mates too. miss you gals! i lurve girlfriends! =)

Was chatting Derek just now. he is a very matured guy. i like talking to him. haha. though shixiu they all say he is full of crap. alrighty, gonna rest now, its already 3am. i dun wana wake up at 3pm AGAIN. have dentist at 11am. shit, i am afraid i may miss it. :(

I hate slping at 7am and waking up at 7pm. it just makes me feel that one whole day is gone! i went to meet eug to accompany him for dinner on fri before meeting daphne for dinner. Aft dinner, me, dap and tzl went clubbing together. Clubbing was as usual. clubbing with them is more like standing ard, checking out the crowd and only dancing when the good music plays. its really different from clubbing with the gals. well, i had a good time on fri though. he kept creeping into my mind though. well, i guess it is natural that i will think about him since we just broke up. i just hope that i can move on soon. =) on friday, we went to zouk then momo then breakfast. and then when i reached home at 7 in the morn, my dad forced me to go see the doctor's cus i was coughing like mad. so i went to the doctor's and ended up slping there. so unglam!! when i woke up, many ppl were staring at me!! haha.

and then on sat, i was supposed to meet sx but he was sick. so i just stayed at home n watched sex and the city. just bummed ard the whole of sat. its already monday and i am still at home slacking!! :( this week is gonna be busy. i am meeting many ppl and going clubbing as well. i hope this whole array of activities can keep him out of my mind.

ok, i am gonna watch the live badminton match of sgp vs japan in Doha. We just lost a singles match. gonna watch the doubles now.

See you ard!!

I have been doing alot of thinking lately. esp after we ended our 2yr 9mths journey. now, i shall walk this path alone, but i know he will always be there as a good friend, and i am contented enough. :) somehow, he looks so much more at ease, relaxed and happier these days. i guess the r/s was too straining on him. he looked so pressured when he was with me. but these days, he seemed so much more relaxed. if he is happy, then i am too. =)

We went for dinner yest night, and i really felt so happy. being a friend without any stress, just enjoying the company of each other. i havent felt like this for a long time... but when i looked into his eyes, they were sad. i dunno if i m thinking too much, but i really felt that they looked sad. well, as for me, i have been crying every single night since a mth ago, so today, i promise myself not to shed anymore tears. today, i shall start my life afresh!! embrace what comes my way...

i was supposed to go exercise, start up my online shop, and watch finish all the vcds i have. well, last sat i started my online shop. and sun i went to the gym. but for the past few days, i have been nua-ing at home watching vcds. Goong rocks! i am so in love with Joo Ji Hoon and Kim Jung Hoon now! woohoo!! but watching the show reminds me of wk, and i end up in tears all the time. i just finished watching Goong today, so tml ll be a brand new day for me! =)

yay, going out with many ppl in the days to come. i wana move on and embrace my singlehood. no, i wont forget the happy times we had together, just keep them in my memories, and cherish the friendship with him now. yah, that is how it shd be.

ok, time to get organised. 1) sat-dinner with SX. finally his exams r over! SX is such a nice friend, cant wait to see him! 2) sun-vivo with minyi. really miss her!! 3) next fri- meeting with hweesim. yah, another good friend of mine. we had been friends since pri sch. unbelievable right? i do cherish this valuable friendship with her.
yah, thats it for now. i dont want to meet up with too many ppl all at once. slowly and gradually. gotta wait for manyi to finish her exams then she can meet me n minyi for KTV!! ok, i m picking pieces of my life again. i am looking forward to it!! =)

lovely.

Time flies...

Its been more than a month since i posted. yet, it feels like only yesterday that i came to blogger and typed in my entry. when school work is piling, there is almost no time for anything... on several occasions, i want to add in my 2 cents worth or incessant ramblings here, but the fatigue took the better of me, and i decided to retreat to my humble cove, and slp... Zzz.

Well, have been rather stressed out about internship for the past couple of weeks. It was horrible. going for interviews, waiting for results, and then knowing that i got rejected. there is this feeling of disappointment, no doubt. and this feeling completely overwhelmed me. it got so bad that my self esteem decreased by the day. i kept asking myself, "am i not better than others?" "am i that bad?" and i could not find the answers to my questions. these thoughts enter my mind and refuse to depart. for most part of the day, i end up stoning and staring at the computer screen in front of me, lost for words...

things have picked up over the past week. i felt better and got over the whole issue of being rejected. well, things happen for a reason, dont they? maybe it IS a blessing in disguise. or so i hope. :)

Today is GREAT. After class, Colin suggested that we go for Sakae Sushi Buffet again!! Weeee!! we just had that like, 2 weeks ago? hahah. see, thats the reason why my waistline is expanding. Boohoo. BUT, we had lotsa fun! 9 of us in Sakae, laughing, stuffing ourselves with hand rolled rice, and talking in between mouthful of fried gyoza. The experience is always one of joy and laughter. I love it!! Everyone who was there has alot of fun. Weee! After that, me, mj, hsu and colin went to bugis. the 3 gals went for some pampering while colin went to meet his friend. MJ and I did classic manicures! Yay! I love it! Hsu trimmed her eyebrows. so fun! I love my nails now. i came home and pasted some nail art stickers on my nails to make it even prettier. haha. today is FUN. Thanks my dear friends! Oh, Jen came too! havent talked to her for soooooooooo long. Miss u jen!!

Homework wise, there is alot to do for photojourn. Dr Shyam asked me to reshoot a few shots. i feel that my photo story is not very strong as compared to the others. its up to my captions, text and layout to bring out the story. Jiayou!!! wow, photojourn is alot of work but its really fun. at least, i enjoy what i am doing.. :)

as for editing course, there is this HUGE assignment due next fri, and i only remembered it today. oh man. luckily its a grp project. for this type of last min work, grp projects-- WELCOMED ANYTIME. yup, 4 brains are better than 1 shrivelled one.

media management class, presentation on thurs. i need to prepare a 1.5 min speech. intended to do it todday but i am very tired. i guess i can only do it tml. gotta buck up!!

mmm... sch is ending soon. which equals to exams coming. there is still alot of work to do, but i have to take it in my stride.. alright, i guess i have to buck up!! :(

Things with him aint good. having alot of arguments these days.
I think he doesnt care enough,
He says i am overly paranoid.
I say he is too aloof towards me,
He says i complain too much.
I ask him to talk on the phone with me,
He replies: "I hate to talk on the phone."
I told him i am a dependent gal, i need him by my side,
He says he is stressed out by me, he needs a break.
"Maybe we should just break up." He said...

i dont know what direction this relationship is taking. it just feels so rocky at the moment. i just feel that we dont communicate enough, but to him, it seems perfectly fine. I mean, we only meet once a week, and he doesnt want to talk to me on the phone at all during the weekdays when i m in hall. THen our relationship is just based a weekly meeting? I hate it. i hate being together with you and meeting u only once a week. Its like, whats the point?? i really cant take it anymore. and he only msgs me like a few times a day. i really hate it. and when i feedback to him, he says i complain too much. i dunno. i dunno what is going to happen to us. i look at the other couples who communicate every night, and i feel so envious, jealous. how i wish he will just pick up the phone and call me. i miss the good ole times we had. but not anymore now. these days are filled with arguments and arguments and arguments. maybe what he said is right, maybe we shd just end it here...
bye.

Holidays are here! And wk's surprise bday party-a success!! :)

finally.. finally.. the holidays are here. i have never felt so drained b4 in my life that i was sooo looking forward to this holidays! one of the reasons is also because wk's bday is coming. Weeee!! I planned a 3 day celebration for him, the first day being today. hehe. past few days i have been working on his present and today's celebration. i was so excited n nervous today man!! i havent been thinking about school work at all, just wana have a good break, after the choosing of internship thing, the tedious cover letter, the very stressful public affairs and photojourn... i think i earned this break! woots!

Went shopping with brownie on fri. bought a tee from forever 21. love it!! its damn nice lah. i cant wait to wear it to sch. yay! sat, spent the day doing alot of wk's bday preparations. also went for tuition. mmm. the mom requested that i teach till the end of the month when i asked rene to tell her i wana quit! but its ok lah, it means i have more money~ oh, i sold something online again! yay! i feel happy when ppl buy my 2nd hand items. at least i noe that my things arent being wasted. someone else is gonna use them. and thats the reason y i buy 2nd hand items too. i think its really ok if the top is still good as new, just that someone else dont wear it anymore! so happy i sold the item online, it earns me a good $60. wee!! that money comes in handy for wk's bday celebration cus i spent quite alot on his present and cake already. but itd really worth it doing something sweet for my dearest brownie!! :)

alright... today is the best!! i organised a surprise party for wk! and it turned out to be a huge success man! i coordinated with jerry and asked all the guys to come down for steamboat at marina bay, and then i brought wk down to meet them. i was so scared that something may crop up and the party ll fail! omg. it was so nerve wrecking for me.. esp when jerry called yest n told me that i may ve to cancel the whole thing cus no one was coming. omg. it was so scary! i had to msg the guys and asked them to reply me and ensure me that they were all coming. today was so fun! i told wk that i wanted to eat at marina and he was fine with it. so i brought him there, and he was sooooooooo shocked to see all the guys there as well! and they all started to sing the birthday song for him which was sooooooooo sweet. wk looked so shocked and happy! i am so glad that everything succeeded. only thing was that we saw andre on our way there n wk thought it was a coincidence. and he started chit chatting with andre n i had to sms andre n asked him to pretend he was there to meet his frens. hahah. everything was so fun and sweet! i am so happy that everything turned out good today! yay!!

one day passed by successfully with lotsa fun. two more days of celebration for my dearest brownie!! :) oh. the guys actually bought wk a brownie instead of a cake. so swwwweeeeeeet!! and the brownie tasted really good. yum yum! alright, updates soon! nights. :)

2006-09-02T10:38:00.000-07:00

Shopping in IKEA!!

Went to ikea today with wk. had a great time shoppin there! ikea is this place that i will never feel bored of. there is this very homely feel, where many families are shopping for furnitures to add on to their new homes. i feel sooooooo happy just being there! i bought a wooden frame while wk bought this very nice black frame for me! weeee! i love shopping in ikea.... :) :) :)

Anyway, i went to watch click on mon. its very good. very touching plot. i teared at these two scenes- 1st one was when Adam Sandler realised that his dad was already dead and he missed it without realising it. 2nd one was when Adam Sandler was dying and he told his son:"Family comes first". its soooooo touching!! almost everyone i know who had watched "Click" was moved to tears! and i thought only emo me cried. woah, "Click" is unexpectedly good. love it. its truly inspirational as well. cus i have learnt to treasure my family much more after watching the movie. i mean, i am not very close to my family, as in, we care for each other, but we dont voice it out verbally. the movie encourages me not to worry so much about school work anymore and place my priorities right. i think its so true! i shdnt be overly paranoid about my school work! yay. i am so happy!! To the scriptwriter of "Click", "THanks for the very amazing script." =)

went to meet MJ, KH and J for lunch on Wed. it was a memorable lunch gathering. alot of fun!! cant wait to see them next week again. Think Peg may be joining us too. will ask her along! i think these grp of frens are the best! somehow, i feel secondary school frens are the best. i love 2/4. pegs they all are prolly the best galfrens one can find! and Sindy. all the way fm primary school. Woah! it was really nice having lunch with MJ and the guys. See u all next wed again! =)

oh! speaking of which, went clubbing with the gals on wed. me, peg, mich and dap. 4 of us bought 2 jugs of long island. 1 hr later, me n peg spent the rest of the night puking in the toilet. thanks to everyone who took care of us on wed! I appreciate it! esp Mich and Dap who spent so much time with me. thanks lovely ladies! and after that night, i really swear off jug of long island tea. my god. i still recall the first time i went zouk. the same thing happened. one jug of long island tea= 2hrs of puking in the toilet. lesson FINALLY learnt.

k, kinda tired now. shit, havent gotten my news ideas for jurong. mmmm. anyone has any news ideas for health topic in jurong? let me know. haha. nights! =)

The week closed with a BLAST.

Phew! the weekend is here. finally. this week had been very good. despite the dreadful Monday, which was later diagnosed as a disgusting syndrome known as the Monday blues. I realised its not just me. many CS year 3s are feeling WEIRD deep inside. is "weird" the word? i dont know. its this hybrid. a hybrid of loss and sub-conscious stress, and perhaps some say,"not being in control". i totally agree. Year 3 is like a whole new level of uni life. yes. shed away the fun. the competition is stiffer, the stress level is higher, and less time for everything else. Welcome to year 3.

as for me, i am still getting used to it. it takes time. but i must say that the days got better after Monday. Tues was great. i had time to go jogging with Jingyi which of course helped improve my mood by a whole notch. i had time to do many things, and i love it. i enjoy the luxury of time. the time for some personal space, the time to do what i want to.

Wed was THE DAY. Yoohoo! we had CS homecoming which was a huge success. there were many small stalls set up in school, and naturally, me and Hsu's pocket money kinda vanished there. We bought some accessories which are really nice! at night, which is the highlight of Wed, we had dinner at the CS rooftop. the crowd was good. i love nothing better than being able to gather with the people from CS. they are a really fun bunch of confidantes, albeit a little rowdy. THese people definitely made my school days much more memorable. thanks darlings. and the performance was good. there were 4 bands. and of course, Colin's band, KingKong Jane, never fail to impress. They started off with an energetic number by Franz Fredinand, which got everyone grooving. we were all dancing and jumping and screaming and singing. it was crazy. we screamed so much that we had no voice after the performance. yah, i repeat the word "crazy". that night, i felt the whole usual CS liveliness reemerging again. the feeling was one of excitement, happiness and a tremendous bout of resminiscence. i was very touched by the scene that unfolded before me. everything may change-the workload, the stresss, the competition-but no, this CS spirit always remains. the bonding between us. i felt it come alive again. i saw Colin leading the crowd, and yes, the crowd was WILD. it was simply memorable. not to mention some editors who were drunk and high. haha. :)

Well, its finally friday. i just did an interview and going to start on my article tonight. i am going to Arab Street tml! yay! and it just occured to me that i can bring along my camera to take photos for my photojourn. played with the camera yest. the photos i took are normal. nothing i like. mmm.. i showed kevin's website to wk yest. and he agrees that kevin takes VERY GOOD photos. i am impressed by Kevin seriously. i think that the yr 4 batch which just graaduated is a whole lot of talented bunch. Kevin's photos were really good! I want to learn man. THis senior is really someone i look up to with lots and lots of admiration.

and yes, the week ended with a BLAST.

2006-08-14T11:23:00.000-07:00

Second week of school somehow feels wierd.

today is monday. first day of second week. but somehow, i feel shaggified. like lotsa things went on today n there were so many lessons today. i dunno. i just feel super duper tired today. well, the fact that colin is back does make school a little more enjoyable. we all miss u colin! :)

mmm. then i had free tickets to watch a movie. to do a movie review for Chron. my god. the movie is damn crap!! 5 mins into the film, and i was like oh my, i cant believe theres still another one hr n 59mins. its super duper lame!! i am so tired after i came back to hall that i dint do anything much except talk with the gals and finished up my french hwk. oh! french is FUN. very very enjoyable. french level 2 is so much better than level 1! think cus the teacher is really nice. hahah. but basically, the movie is very bad. but i am not gonna condemn it. at least give it some tiny credits for the efforts put in. gonna write it over the weekend. this week is so busy! have lotsa things to do. aargh.

i find myself in a dilemma wheneve i go to sch nowadays. i dunno y. its like i look forward to school cus i can see all my lovely frens but whenever i go to class, i just dunt listen at all. i keep talking to Hsu and gang, if not, i am daydreaming about ice creams and chocolates. hai. i used to be very excited about class. i ll always feel really happy when the teacher talks about the syllabus on the first day of class. u noe, that kinda anticipation of learning lotsa things in class? i cant feel that ANYMORE. i enter each class and leave each class, feeling like i havent learnt anything much. aargh. i really really dunno what this kinda feeling is all about. its like a huge mixture of loss, stress and insecurity mixed into one. :(

alright, i comforted myself jus now that sch jus started, and i need some getting used to. i hope thats the case man. just that i havent found a class that i can have total confidence in the professor to impart his/her skills to us this sem. and it worries me. mmmm.. ok, i shall stop worrying. it makes me feel really SICK.

and i am running out of money! staying in hall n buying notes n tbks are damn xiong. hai. ok, i am in one of those i feel lousy mood again. and its only monday.

2006-08-12T12:08:00.000-07:00

First week of school-Over.

Alrgiht, and first week of sch just came n went. Without making too much of a difference to me. But, i am starting to feel stressed. thinking of internship. my god.. feels scary just thinking about it. well, lets just embrace life as it comes, shall we?

went for sakae buffet with XX and the gals on thurs. We had a great time!! despite the poor service from Wheelock Sakae. everyone, pls dun ever go there anymore ok? the service SUCKS big time. we waited one and a half hr for our chawamushi. and there were no salmon sushi as they CLAIMED that they have ran out of it. what the. after a while, they also conveniently ran out of gyoza. damn pissed. luckily, had a greatime with the gals n XX. we spent a long time talking about our future, our career, our internship, etc. and we were rather worried n a lil stressed sia. i am damn stressed, i admit. hahaha. but well, i have learnt to take whatever comes my way in my stride.

Fri, the guy smsed me again n asked me to do anothr assignment for him for a small sum of money. i rejected at 1st cus i just wana slack the weekend away, but well, he offered me a longer deadline, n i thought, y not? jsut do an assignment n earn some money ba. but well,as said, i ve planned to slack my weekend away, so i havent gotten to doing it. gonna do it tml. rather good money. yay!

went out with wk today. but wasnt exactly good. we cancelled our hiking cus we were both too lazy. so we decided to go town. but we both dint realy feel like shopping. mainly cus we both have too many clothes, and i dinr feel like buying anymore clothes. well, i bought one present for wk's bday. its damn exp sia. but well, its really nice. hope he likes it :) then me n wk had some squabble here n there, cus we dint feel like shopping anymore n we dint noe what we wanted to do. it was like walking ard aimlesssly. i just hate it lah, after u come back fm bangkok, every thing in SG is sooooooooo damn exp. wana buy a dress also needa fork out $50. 5 times that in bangkok, and the desing n quality is the same. they simply import fm bangkok n hike up the price! thats y now i dun even feel like shopping in singapore. :( and that kind of feeling sucks cus we were outside, and we dint wana go home, and we ditn noe wat to do n where to go. wanted to go bar, but thinking about all the alcohol i have at home, i found it meaningless to go bar n spend on a drink 10 times the cost price when i already have the exact drink at home. RIGHT? yup, basically, we just wondered ard aimlessly n after a while, we decided to go home. hahaha. first time gping home at 10pm. on a saturday night. WIERD. but well, i dun mind. i kinda like this feeling of saving up on unnecessary hiked up pricey stuff. i am never gonna spend such money again!!

i bidded for quite a few items at one go online jus now. cus they r cheap n good! hehe. bought this very pretty rocket tee shirt. very lovely. hope to get it soon. and bidded for 2 red wine masks. one sheet, and one bottle. very excited to try them out!! yay! i have been buying lotsa stuff online lately but i am rather happy. cus i cant find these items outside man. well, back to the benefits of buying things online. hahaha. cant wait to try out the masks!! yippee!

yay, tml i m gonna move into hall with the gals! hehe. i wonder how our hall life is gonna be like. hope there ll be no conflicts whatso ever! and i m doing the assignment tml to earn some small bucks. yup! and of cus, read the papers! no matter if i ve the time anot sia. must read!! i am so used to watching news that i haven ot read the papers in a while. hai. as i said, broacast journ rocks my world. love it. :)

2006-08-09T09:34:00.000-07:00

Starting school with a BLAST!! YOOHOO!

alright! school started on mon! it was lovely. seeing everyone again. the feeling is kinda undescribable, i feel. it was like one huge huge school gathering. woah! everyone was like asking everyone else,"Hi! How have you been?" that was voted the most common qn of the day. hahaha. everyone had lotsa changes too. esp the guys! wow, our guys are looking better. :) CS is really like a fashion parade! everyone was decked in such lovely clothes on the first day of sch. i wore a dress and initially i was afraid it ll be a lil OTT. well, as expected, everyone wore damn nice too. really nice checking everyone else out. too bad our dearest colin wasnt there. :( ok, back to the guys and their changes. Junkit has permed hair!! thats so erm, i dont noe how to describe. but he really looks good with permed hair. much better than all the previous hairstyles. PK has dreadlocks. stylo mylo! Swee Kang has long wavy hair. mmm. looks fine lah. normal. Jay looks like he is born and bred in Aussie now!! haha. after the 6mths stay there. He appears to me as an Aussie-born-chinese. yah, and the girls are all decked in very pretty clothes. lovely. :)

alright, school was fun on the 1st day. relaxing and heartwarming just seeing everyone. however, on the 2nd day, i skipped sch. oops. cus i was rushing for the assignments for the guy who is paying me. and i wanted to finish it by tues. so i skipped class on tues, well it is only one class. but i feel damn sian, 2nd day skip class!! i am glad its finally over!! Then i went to sch to register for something to find that the stall has closed. ok, nvm about that. most impt thing is i went shopping!! hehe. with Qiao. bought 2 very nice nail polish n nail stickers.

i did a manicure for myself today. i think its really nice, albeit lotsa imperfections. heh. i think all these nail stickers rock! i mean, they are so cheap, and they can make your nails so nice. i seriously dun bother going for a manicure. well, unless i am yearning for a pamper treat or something. i bought a CD too! Yellowcards-lights and sounds. yippee! i have always wanted this CD but dint bother buying. its like all the $$ goes to clothes and food. i am glad i finally bought it! yay!

These few days had been so fun. for me, the best part is buying the nail polish n stickers cus they really make my nails very pretty!! hahaha. and they dont cost much. which is the best part. i am kinda obsesses with pretty nails these days. planning to buy more of these little nail things! hehe.

yay. tml go for 301 and then we are off to Sakae!! the usual clique. i love you gals!! of cus, not forgetting XX. hahaa. gonna meet Bok babe on Friday and then off to hiking on sat with baby!! we have been postponing the hike trip for so long already. cant wait for it. and sun, i m moving in with Hsu n Shunyi! yay! hehe. this week had been amazing. let it stay this way please. :)

2006-08-03T12:00:00.000-07:00

Busy ah!

HEy! its been a busy busy week. i received a huge project to do for quite alot of money. So i accepted it. at first, i thought i only needa write 2 papers. and i tot it was easy money! then, i realised that i had to do 5 assignments. and there are alot of things to do. i only managed to finish writing one paper after 3 days of hard work. n i feel that my argument towards the end was a little weak. so wanted to keep changing. oh man. the question is "Do US media flows into Singapore threaten the government's national identity?" well, my argument is a BIG YES. but somehow, as i get to the middle part about the uses and gratification theory, i felt that the argument was not so strong anymore. :( well, i m just glad that one project down. 4 more to go. hai. last week of hols still need to work so hard. like what hsu said, "think of the $$".

wnet clubbing yest. wasnt very fun. mmm. had a small conflict with my very good fren, D. saw sindy there! all of us were frigging high. hehe. look at me n Sindy, just outside Zouk. we were a lil high. just a little.

me and D took some pictures too! but i havent got them fm her. after yest, i think i m not going clubbing in a while. but wait, Sindy just said lets go next week. and i said ok. wahahaa!!

initially i had the b4 sch jitters. was afraid and uncomfortable n insecure. i wonder if its PMS or jitters. wahaha. well, then i was talking to Hsu n we talked about alot alot of things! so nice talking to her. i am so happy Hsu is back!! YAY! Sushi buffet again! haha. after talking to her,i felt so much better. yeah, i m gonna take one step at a time. dun kan cheong too much. but thinking about the projects n things like that just make me feel nervous. i need to constantly encourage myself by thinking of last sem's results. yay, i can do it! dun kan cheong.

alright, my current priority is to finish the projects. hope can finish by next thurs. or wed. b4 clubbing. yippee! anyway, went to watch my fav johnny depp in action last fri with brownie. i wore a lovely dress! first time wearing, so was very excited.

love my johnny depp very very much. how i wish i m Vanessa Paradis. *Envious* love my brownie better. D told me yest night that baby is really sweet to me n i needa treasure him. yes, i will. love u wk! :)

Terrorism strikes.

Alright, thats basically the scenario of the shooting location of the documentary "Without Warning". we were required to run out of the MRT station, screaming "help!" etc. it was quite fun. and really exciting too. i was so glad linhui, sari, dylan n gary were there too. it made the whole thing more fun. if not, i would ve dozed off to slp when it hit 5am.

yep, here are the photos. finally gotten them fm linhui! thanks gal. :)

Getting in touch with my inner self

Woah. i havent posted an entry in a while. it had been a busy week, i must say. spent the week going to gym with my fav manyee, going on an adventure with my guy-Harry Potter, and then yesterday, went on a ride on a train that had been bombed.

glad that i finally finished reading harry potter after scrambling in time here and there to read it. i dont really have the luxury of reading the book all at once in a full day. but well, the book meets up to its expectations. though i felt that the plot moved on a little too slowly. there were many chapters full of momotonous doings, and letting us dwelve into the memories of the Pensive. well, i suppose J.K. Rowling has to let the story move on a little slower, shedding the very exciting climax of the past few books, as this is the 6th book already. she needs to pave the path for the final book. and thus, no extreme hexing or jinxes anymore.
comparisions with its previous books aside, i had a great adventure together with harry potter n Dumbledore. the ending was very touching and for a split second, i was almost moved to tears... i cant wait for the 7th book to be out!! and yah, i still think the 3rd book is the best: harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.

Yesterday, we went for the filming of this terrorism documentary for mediacorp. and it was an experience. luckily, me and the rest were not the ones who were required to be "injured". the injured ppl fm the "bomb blast" had hideous makeup. we only had dusty hair n black powder over our face. bad enough already!! alright, i ll blog about this fully when i get the photos fm linhui. cus she took most of the photos. i was too busy discussing with Sari what to wear for this sem's dinner n dance cus it was Silverscreen, Hollywood. i wanted to be Gandalf, then i wanted to be Dumbledore, and then i wanted to be powerpuff girls and lastly, i thought i will go as Paris Hilton. hahaha. i think this theme rocks!! what a fantasy come true. being able to dress as a Hollywood character. if i m really going as Paris Hilton, i need my dor carrier and a small little cutie dog with a bow. haha. its so fun just thinking about the D&D. i bet its gonna be sooooooo fun! i think i might end up going as Smurf. the girlie Smurf. or maybe Spider woman. and bring sprays there and spray a cobweb at ppl when they are eating. whahahaa. :))

oh well, thats the kinda thing that makes me look forward to sch. but the lessons are irking me. bleah. i needa set myself some resolutions when sch starts. and i hope i really follow them. not.

1) Study Hard. my results last sem are something i am so proud of and i am using them as a stringent benchmark for myself next sem. something like that.

2) Sleep early. the benefits of slping early, are aplenty. but somehow, i never hit the sheets before 3am during sch days, and 5am during holidays. no way!! i needa slp early. it can nourish my skin, improve my health and yeah.. the list goes on. Chitra once told me that slping early can make one lose weight!! yah, i wana slp early. not that i never tried though. i just cant. :(

3) Exercise regularly. oh well, i have been rather lazy last sem. spent all my time doing projects n going out. i needa start exercising!! all the fats are oozing out! i am glad that i ve finally picked up my pace and am working towards it. hope i dont revert back to my old ways when sch starts. need to exercise even when sch begins!! Jia you!

4) Save money. Shop LESS. yes. thats one of the main resloution that i m determined to follow. i ve been squandering my money as if they are water! this is horrendous. i wana save.for a next trip. and also, for my graduation trip that me and wk are planning!! we wana go aussie!
ok, for these travelling dreams, i need to save. i must!!

alright, and thats for now. things i m working towards. i find them important to enriching me as a healthier person. i wana slowly shed off clubbing. cus of the late nights. mayb once in a while. but not every week. i wana cut down on coffee. yeah.. i wana be healthier. i must. and this time, i dont use the word "try". :))

Library job. Retail Therapy. Clubbing. Gym.

17.07.06
it was mon morn, 730am. and i was awake! i attempted not to slp the day b4, as i had a library job on mon morn at 830. but i fell asleep at 630am. luckily, i was able to wake up in time for the job! 1st day, good impression. Yay! the job was introduced by HweeSim. and i was really happy that day cus working with frens is always fun! me, hs, and liya. getting in touch with books is SHIOK. it makes me wana read many many books b4 sch starts. when sch starts, i ll ve time for nothing except projects n assignments. eew. what a turnoff. anyway, all we did was take out the new books, borrow them n return them. it is pretty slack, just that it is very hurting for the fingers. the books are rough and they cut too. i got cut by several books. OUCH!
After working there that day, i am determined to enrich my inner self by reading more books, doing more sports and meeting up with more friends. i wana do all these before sch starts! i mean, i hope n i know these activities will continue till sch starts but it ll be great if i can start during the sch holidays, and of cus, make it a habit! Yippee. THese are my goals, and what i wana do for the remaining 2 weeks of my holidays. :))

18.07.06
it was a disappointing day! i overslept and did not go to work. my 1st day's good impression failed. badly. everyone was asking where i was. hai, i m really such a pig. work one day then cant make it already. i feel so sad. But well, i went to meet brownie n he certainly made my day!
we went to marina square n i bought a shirt for him. meant to be his bday present. buy it in advance while i still ve the cash. i love going out with wk. its always comforting to ve have him ard, esp if i m feeling lost or upset. and it happened that i was really feeling insecure n lost on that day. thanks dear!

We went to carls jr for dinner. yummy! i gotta say the burgers rock my world! and the oinion rings were HUGE-ASS. woah!! they were so big they could act as my new onion-RIMMED specs. haha.

i can forsee myself going to carls jr every so often!! the burgers, the onion rings and the chocolate shake. Do i hear the word "SIN"? oh well, prolly once in a month, i ll go. ahhhh. yes, once in a month.

19.07.06
Wed was a happening day. i went to teach tuition n it was a pleasure. :) the kid was exceptionally good and obedient today. for the first time ever. time flew n i was outta house in 90mins b4 i realised it. thats great!
then i went for dentist and it was a torture. :( Dentist said i ve to wait kinda long b4 i can take out my braces. i am so sad. i tot i can take out my braces soon! like b4 sch term starts. looks like i ve to wait. and i hate waiting.

After dentist, i went to meet HS n Liya for retail therapy!! yay! We combed the whole orchard area. HS bought a necklace fm far east, me n liya each bought a top fm Mambo. Nice tops! i like... i ve been spending alot lately on material buys. i needa cut that down. i tot aft i came back fm bangkok, i ll stop shopping as my shopping cravings will probably ve been satisfied in bkk. but i m so wrong. after i came back, which is only a week, i bought a pair of heels, an esprit bag, a shirt for wk, a book, and a mambo top. i think i m a label whore. i love all these labels. i m glad i havent degenerate into buying big brands like LV or gucci. i dont want to end up like those office ladies who always sign with their credit cards and then, starve a whole month to pay off their debts. no way. i m satisfied with esprit, mambo, zara, topshop and mango and what-have-you. i need to cut down on shopping. :(
on a lighter note, we took some really lovely photos. :) and i love the pictures!!
yah, thats me and the two girls. i was wearing a very lovely floral dress. first time wearing it. yippee! anyway, its nice hanging out with old frens.i feel comfortable, at ease, and we can talk about everything under the sun. fm guys to boobs. thats what i like about hanging out with amk gals. the many years of friendship allow us to crap and fool ard without feeling pissed or upset with each other. yay! i m glad our friendship is still going strong.

After shopping with them, i went to meet wk for a while. dint talk much though as he was busy playing dota n i was getting ready to club! yay. clubbing with pegs, sindy, fanny n alison. woah! it was damn fun. as usual, we saw ben they all inside. nice seeing old frens in zouk. zouk was soooooooooo packed that day. due to jolin's event which ended at 9pm. omg. it was so squeezy i felt uncomfortable. luckily, we got ourself a comfortable dancing spot at the corner, which is also a lao di fang for ben and the guys. they always dance there.

that night was pretty high. and fun. me, peg n sindy downed many shooters!! which also explains why peg spent the later half of the night puking. and me? a bad sore throat the next day.
:( anyway, photos for that night are with the gals. i ll get them soon! love. :)

20.07.06
went to the gym the next day with manyee. though i was certainly very tired after the clubbing night, i scrambled out of bed for some california loving. haha. the facilities are really good. but i hate the consultants n the personal trainers. they speak to me as if they despised me cus i am fat. the way they commented on how fat i was made me feel uncomfortable n inferior. i was so at a loss of what to do!! i hate them. and they said all that simply to get us to sign on the package. which i wont.even if i ve the money. bleah. ><>
anyway, after they stopped bothering us, me n manyee went to try many of the machines there. had such a good workout yest!! we exercised almost nonstop for 3 hrs. with a few mins of water break here n there. felt so good about myself after that. u noe how exercising always makes u feel good? the endorphins, yes i noe. yup, i am so glad the guy extended my trial period to 11days. so i can go to the gym for a few more days! yeah! enjoying 5 star gym facilities all for free. what more can i ask for? oh and the steam bath was pretty good too. except that i felt it was a little suffocating initially. i dont really like saunas, which prolly explains y i dint like the steam bath when i stepped in. well, i am going to make sure i keep going to california fitness in the next 10 days. dont wana miss this chance to keep fit. at no cost. woah!!

21.07.06
supposed to go for body combat class with manyee today. but we both feel really tired fm the workout yest.so we postponed our class to tml. cant believe we are going to do body combat for free! this trial thing really rocks. i wish it lasts more than 11days. hai. tml meetin wk as well. for some in house movies,popcorns n alcohol. cant wait. yeah!!

these few days had been very fulfiling for me. i m doing exactly what i had hoped for since mon morn. exercising to keep fit n of cus, lose some fat. reading, to keep my mind enriched. and also meeting up with frens. hweesim n liya. manyee. and pegs they all. a few days was all i need to get it started. i m glad i did it!! in the past, i most prob ll be too lazy to go out with my frens or go exercse. and now, i need to keep the passion burning!! :)
continue to meet up with frens, continue to exercise even after my trial ends, and of cus, continue to read more books. though it ll be difficult, but i needa make it a habit. :) after i finish harry potter,i am gonna buy freakonomics. aft my gym trial, i m gonna drag wk to yishun gym with me. though there isnt 5star facilities there, at least i can do abit of my exercise. yay! i feel so organised now. a feeling that i havent had for quite a while.

and today is our 2and a half yrs anniversary. love you baby! we ll have a great time tml with the movie session n the alcohol! haha. love.

2006-07-17T07:28:00.000-07:00

A blasting weekend! Yoohoo!

This past weekend had been really fun. on fri, i went to meet brownie for dinner at our lao di fang. haha. at NYDC cafe lah. the place where we went on our first date. heh. it was so fun! i wore my favourite zara polka dots dress! Weee~ i love the dress alot. and it was my first time wearing it! hehe.

yup, thats me in the lovely dress. and if i am to give a title for this picture, it will go:" epitome of a narcissist." haha. Me and brownie went shopping on fri for a short while n i bought a pair of pointy gold heels! Always wanted a pair of gold heels but havent found any i like. finally i found it! Yeah! i love the heels alot.

and i bought Harry Potter and the half blood prince for only $9.95! What a steal. u know how miserable it is to always walk into Kino or Borders and wana buy every single book there but my finances doesnt allow me?? always walk out of the stores with only one book or empty handed. i wanted to buy harry potter long ago. but someone said he wanted to buy it for me, whose name i shant reveal. he bought it, but we dint have the chance to meet at all, and so, no free book for me! i waited sooooooooooooo freaking long for the price to drop! and i dint expect it to drop by so much. $10 singy dingies for a good book. *CHEERIOS*

Anyway, me and brownie got bored at the cafe while waiting for our fav Posh Spice. so we took some photos! i did a mini collage for this. but it isnt very nice. :( too tired.

basically, my fri eve was spent relaxing at a cafe and then shopping. with my fav guy. what a perfect date. *a date to remember* :)

Saturday. 15.07.06

sat, i decided to stay at home. cus was very tired n had a little tiff with wk in the morn. but towards the eve, i got bored n asked my aunt out. miss my aunt! and i asked my cousin along too. we went to chinatown to have late nigt supper.. oops. what a sin. but i cant resist food man! seriously, aneroxic and bullemic ppl, u dont know what you Are missing out on!

Saturday was super humid n warm. so i wore a cap out. i dont like caps. they make my already round face looks Xtra round. ":( all the photos i look very wierd. haha. did another mini collage. this one is worse. cus i only managed to get 2 photos which r not that ugly. :( u noe how on some days, no matter what pictures u take, u look wierd? yah, that was one of those days. it must have been the cap. boohoo.

thats my aunt and my cousin! feel so happy to see them. havent seen them in a long long while. and passed them their souvenirs which i got fm bangkok.

We ate at DaPaiDang and basically jus hang ard for quite awhile. the food in chinatown dapaidang is AWFUL! dont ever try them. one plate of noodles for $5, the qlty is worse than that of a foodcourt. eew. i hate it when i gotta pay for bad food. and the prices at steep too. i can get better ones for $2 at Khatib coffeeshop! love love love the foood there! esp the fried kway teow. yooohoo! i am drooling now, just thinkin about it. yummylicious! Coffeeshop food is always the best.

After late late dinner, i took the train home. on my way fm NEL to the other side, someone called me. it was Kenneth. wow. havent seen him for prety long. and he told me he was meeting Dalun n shixiu n asked if i was going. cant believe it! THe 3 of us (DL, SX and me) have been wanting to meet since yonks ago, and Kenneth said they were meeting that night. So, we met up and went over to Brewerks for some drinks. it was really nice seeing the guys again! havent met for soooooooooo long! *reminiscence sets in*

alright, here are the pictures:

Yup, these are a few pictures we took. nice seeing you guys! Dalun says he's gonna send me something fm Japan! maybe a nice postcard or something. Yay!! thats really nice.

and yah, my sat was sooooooo memorable. meeting up with ppl i havent seen for so long.

Sun 160706

sun. the day for lazy pigs like me!went to meet brownie to scout for roller blades! we are both getting a pair of blades. finally, i am using my money to pursue my passion. instead of spending it on clothes. yippee! in this way, every weekend we can think of a new place to go blade. that ll be sooo fun! i havent been skating for very long already. think i prolly ll fall alot on my first trip out. needa practise! but i havent buy yet. not enuff $$ now. wait till next week. i told wk: "lets wear slack slack. i m wearing tshrit n sneakers." in the end, i wore this:

hahaha. cus i saw this dress hanging all by itself in my wardrobe. buy for so long already, but havent even worn it once. it looked so pretty, all ready to be worn by me! hehe. yup, and off we went. to city hall to scout for skates. So happy. one weekend, i managed to wear 2 dresses for the first time. they had been hanging in my wardrobe, crying for attention! and both of them are not cheap. i dunno y i bought them, and never wore them b4. goon doo me. i really love this dress. its a very close fight between this n the zara polka dots one. haha.

well, wk love these 2 dresses too! and thats us:

and us:
and us, and us, and us... :)

Ending my bday with a heartwarming celebration. :)

After the 1st day of amazing celebration with wk, the second day was something much simpler. my plan for that day was to go for camp, then meet my family in the eve for dinner, then meet the gals for some champagne at the loof. and it turned out that the gals pang seh me on my bday!! i was so darn disappointed with them. i mean, how can u tell me u cant come for my celebration only on the day itself? in the end, the thing was called off and i dint even go to meet ah bok n adelia they all for clubbing as i promised. bok they all were really nice, they wanted to celebrate with me by clubbing together. but cus the loof party was cancelled, i dint go for the clubbing at all. sorry gals fm bungee! but well, things happen for a reason i guess. disappointed i am. but i still love the amk gals.

alright, dinner with my big family was a heartwarming one. when my little cousins are there, things are always fun! hehe. brayden was there! he is soooo cute. he shaved his hair and he looks like a little monk now. hehe. but he is still as mischievous as ever. brownie really surprised me on the second day. he said he wont join me n my family for dinner since hde already celebrated with me b4 hand. he said he bought a 2nd cake for me, and he will bring it down only aft we finish our dinner at the restaurant. i was really excited to see the cake! cant believe he bought me 2 cakes. haha. thanks dear!
after dinner, we headed back to my aunt's house to cut the cake. everyone was surprised when they saw the cake. its beautiful!!

i really love this cake. its prettay isnt it? thanks keong! i really appreciate everything! 2 lovely lovely cakes for my bday. oh my. thanks!!

ta-dah!! Here is the luckiest gal with the proud organiser of jaws's perfect bday party-Mr Brownie Lim! Woohoo! *claps proudly*

THats me with my two little cousins! haha. we were playng rabbits ears. all of us have cute tiny rabbits' ears in this photo! haha. love this picture alot. and there's my brother hiding in a corner, but captured in the picture too. :) i like this picture alot! its so cute!

i love my grandparents! i used to stay with them when i was young. they were the ones who watched me grow up. thats me, grandma,grandad, my prettay sis, and notti brayden. ")

and the next picture is mom, me,grandma,sis n brayden-making some funny faces. haha. looking at these pictures make me smile...

kae, it is time to get into some action!

after we sang the bday song and blew out the candles, i cut the cake with my aunt, who shares the same bday as me!! :) my aunt is fm thailand! and i wana go shop with her in thailand the next time we go there! confirm can get many things at a low low price! cheap cheap!

yep! and that episode 2 of my 21st bday celebration. the pooper for the day was: being "pang seh" by the gals! :(

but overall, i had a wonderful celebration. heartwarming, happyy, touching. and hweesim actually came down all the way to my house very late at night on that day and we spent the whole night talking and drinking vodka peach. yum yum. and then we both slowly drifted off to lala land... THE END.

2006-07-13T11:37:00.000-07:00

Starting my Bday celebration with a BANG! :)

yay! i am officially 21! yoohoo! Celebrated my bday with my dearest brownie on tues, 11july. he really amazed me with his efforts put into celebrating my bday. i am so touched! thanks darling! first of all, he appeared at orchard mrt to meet me, with a big bouquet of roses in his hands! i was so surprised to see the roses. there were 21 roses in the bouquet! and i tot that was really really sweet. i was so happy. :) thats me grinning fm ear to ear with the big bouquet of roses! i really love roses. deep red roses. lovely.

took a couple of pictures with the expensive lovely roses. it ll be a waste not to take a few precious shots right? heh.
we went over to Pariss for international buffet dinner which was yummylicious! actually, i brought him to this place last yr for his bday celebration. and since we both really enjoyed ourselves therre, he decided to bring me there for my bday this yr. thanks dear! so i took a couple of pictures of our food during the beginning of the dinner. the food is goood! thinkiing about the food makes me wana go back again! i miss Pariss already! too bad i ve no money!:(

wow!! look at the food! i miss them... goose liver, smoked salmon, baked oysters, teriyaki unagi, tiger king crabs, raw fresh oysters, lobster salad.... and the list goes on. omg. looking at this picture now makes me drool. check out the oysters!! they were so fresh n so delicious! and yes, they are HUGE! besides the oysters, the mussels and scallops were the next best thing. they taste good both baked and garlic fried. i love seafood!! really fresh ones. i can eat so many of them at a go! yum yum.. and the chocolate fondue. yoohoo! they are amazing stuff. i am in euphoria just thinking about the seafood n the chocolate fondue!! i am about to squeal in delirium! weeeee!

After all that delightful dinner at Pariss, we headed back home. Brownie said he had another surprise for me. on the train, we took a couple of photos that i love so much! i like photos taken without flash. they r much more natural and the lightning is not so harsh. :)

Isnt this photo lovely? i like it so much! the lighting is very natural and there isnt any ugly harsh colours or contrast. yippee! here is another one. love both!
back at home, brownie surprised me with his efforts put into creating a perfect bday celebration for me. Thanks dear! He used rose petals and seashells to decorate an area of his room and lighted up the area with many tealight candles. on the wall, he pasted letterings that said," happy 21st birthday baby". it is sooooooooo sweet! and every alphabet is intricately sprinkled with glitter dust, accompanied by small pretty heart shaped stickers. they are oh-so-lovely! photos reallly dont do justice to the whole lovely decor baby did for me. it just cant capture the essence of the decor! and the ambience! i took 2 pictures, one with flash n one without. sadly, both dont look as good as the real deal. but well, here they are:

this is the one with flash. funny thing is the lights were off when this picture is taken. but it is so bright! the whole romantic ambience is lost. :( but its really beautiful...

taken from top view. the cake is so cute right? i lurve it! its the princess cake fm angie's choice. its too adorable to be eaten. everything brownie did for me was just so sweet. from the 21 roses to the princess cake to the seashells n tealight candles. thanks darling!

i wish, i wish, i wish upon a star tonight...

cake cutting session!! after which, i proceeded to open brownie's present. yay! pressies! i like...

baby gave me a lovely precious moments box which i simply adore! and there were many vintage lovelys inside the box that baby bought for me! how sweet...

brownie's idea was to get 21 roses n 21 items for me on my bday. i think its such a sweet idea! but he managed to get 21 roses, but not the 21 items. but its sweet enuff dear! i appreciate it. thanks alot! every single thing inside the box is beautiful, and i love them! thanks!

at the end of the day, i embrace everything that wk has done for me. and i dont want to let the memories fade. everything is vividly imprinted in my mind, heart and soul. thanks for the perfect bday celebration! what a way to start off my 21st! :)

2006-07-11T11:35:00.000-07:00

Clubbing in Bangkok. An amazing experience.

on the 3rd night, we went clubbing! Thats us getting ready for clubbing. wk looks sian here cus he dint wana bend down lower for a shot with me. haha. he looks so funny here! hehe. still cute lah dear!

anyway, we wanted to go to the famous Bed Supper Club. but the cover charge was exhorbitant. 1000bahts just to go in and take a look! omg. Extortion. So we decided against it and went to Route 66, a club well known for its RnB and hip hop music.

Route 66, i gotta say it is an awesome club. It is really BIG. It is divided into 4 areas, north, south,east,west. each area plays a different genre of music, i suppose. We went to the hip hop, rnb area. The music is not bad. THe place is awesome. just that the crowd was not very happening. if only we could move Zouk's crowd to Route 66, it will definitely be the best clubbing experince of my lifetime. No cover charge on a friday night, cheap drinks, and a BEAUTIFUL club. the experience is one worth reminiscing. anyway, i rem i once said that MOS's toilets are by far, the nicest i ve ever seeen. Well, i take back my words now.

Route 66 has the prettiest toilets for the ladies! WooHoo! There are like 4 compartments. One compartment is the cubicle area. it is well furnished, and even the cubicle doors are really prettay. lovely colours and all. Another compartment is this area in the middle with semi-circle-cushioned benches. Ladies are welcomed to chill out there and gossip about the cute guy they just checked out in the club. that area simply did not look like one part of the toilet. It looked like a sitting area plucked out from a posh bar. it was so pretty, it was ridiculous. The third comparment to the left of the posh sitting area is for ladies to wash their hands. and perhaps reapply some makeup. A generous spacious area there to avoid the often seen q-ing- up-to-wash-hands scene in most clubs' toilets. No pushing or squeezing. everything was well in place.

Lastly, the 4th compartment is similar to that of MOS's. this area with mirrors and high tables and chairs. again, ladies could chill out there, or reapply their makeup, as what most ladies did. as you can prolly imagine now, the toilet was huge! i think the area used for the toilet is big enuff to be converted into a small posh bar. I love Route 66's toilets!! too bad i dont have any photos as there were many people in there and i was rather shy to fish out my cam. *trying to avoid looking unglam in such a posh toilet* alright, rem! the next time u go clubbing in bkk, check out Route 66 for the lovely decor, and also the toilets! the crowd cant match up to the decor, so u could groove to the music and make it a much more interesting place to hit when one is in bangkok! :)

at least, thats what we did. or tried to do. so here goes:

First pic is me, wk and andrew. actually, i have no idea what we were doing. haha. Then, there is the group of guys. chilling out.

Thats me and keong in one corner. and the last picture, i call it "ma homies". haha. like the last photo alot. everyone was having lotsa fun. yippee! clubbing in bangkok rocks!

Anyway after clubbing, this little boy approached wk to buy flowers for me right outside the club. he was soooooooooooo persistent!! initially, i dint want it. cus i tot it was a waste of money. then he kept pestering us all the way down the street, and in the end, wk bought 6 from him. it was a bonus that i got the roses man. but i wouldnt mind if wk did not give them to me. he was kinda upset that i told his frens i only gotten 1 stalk of rose fm him in 3yrs. well, i really apologise darling. The 21 roses u gave me for ma bday today is really a pleasant surprise! *blog about my bday in a few days time. lagigng, u see. i need to spread my bangkok loving to everyone 1st b4 i proceed. hehe* Anyway, back to the clubbing topic, yep, wk bought the roses. n i loved them. Thanks darling! i am just wondering what is a little boy, the age of 7, doing on the streets at 3am in the morning. selling flowers at 3am just sounds really really sad to me. somemore, he is such a young little boy. poor kid. the look in his eyes when he looked at us was so sad that wk couldnt bear but buy the roses fm him. besides the fact that he is persistent lah. haha.
Yippee! thats me with the roses. looking tired after all the dancing in 66. okies, i am done with the clubbing post which took a long time for me to write. tired. gonna blog about my bday sooooonn.. thanks baby! for giivng me the BEST bday celebration i ve ever had! muacks. :*

More Bangkok Lovin'

2nd day in Bangkok was shopping in MBK and Siam Square in the day and then Suan Lum at night. Both are good places to shop at! i bought sooooooo many things from Suan Lum. woohoo! there are so many dresses in Suan Lum that i dint know which to buy. i even got shopping saturation towards the end of Suan Lum loving, cus there were just too many things to see and my legs were getting tired. Woah, i love Suan Lum. muacks. MBK was okay. not much bargaining though, cus it was a shopping mall. lotsa angmohs there. but the prices are affordable. got a dress and a few tops there. rather nice place. Siam square is like Spore's far east plaza. the things there are really trendy and nice, but the prices are much higher. nonetheless, i bought 2dresses and a waisted belt there. i love the things at Siam Square the most,but i dont love the prices at all. after all that shopping, we had a SPICY lunch at Siam square. couldnt finish the food, cus it was too HOT for me to handle. Thats me and baby in the restaurant. baby's face is actually all red from the chilli, but u prolly cant see it here. heh.

After lunch, it was back to the hotel for some rest and then more shopping in Suan Lum!! Weee! Suan Lum's cheap cheap lovelys make me feel that i ll never shop in spore again. never. i know i have said it, but allow me to indulge in the vibrant atmosphere of Suan Lum once more. omg. i wana go back there!! THe food there is really good too. cheap and good. what more can i ask for?

Yup, here are some pictures of the food we ate in Suan Lum! Woah! they look yummy, dont they? So much food for less than 8singy dollars. look at the 2nd pic. i want all tho food for myself! haha. I had a great time on the 2nd night. it was pure heaven. everything was just really relaxed. and i feel that i ve not felt so happy and at ease for some time! yay! =)

3rd day, we went to Khao San. Bought 2 bikinis there. THe things there are more costly as compared to Suan Lum and there were many angmohs there as well. But the bikinis are very pretty! couldnt resist them. wanted to get more. but they werent very cheap, according to Thailand prices. haha. we dint shop much in Khao San.

Instead, we saw this lovely bar with very nice decors. it had a very vintage feel to it. the furnitures, the lamps, everything about the place was vintage and very lovely. we each ordered a cocktail and had lotsa fun playing with the flowers! hehe. Here are the cocktails we ordered. You will realise that

6 flowers are missing from the cocktail glasses. This is because the guys challenged Kuan Hong to eat the flowers up. and he did. Andrew ate one too. it was soooooo funny! I cant believe KH really ate all the flowers up. He is one crazy guy man. really funny. THe remaining two flowers? me and keong played with them by pretending to be hawaiian lovies. weeee! i love this photo alot! We look so delighted. i guess we really had a very good time playing with the flowers. haha! :)

and this 3rd picture below is me, soaking in the Bangkok wonderful atmosphere like a sponge. Bangkok oohh lah lah..

how i wish i never have to work. how i wish everyday will be like those days in Bangkok! i am having Bangkok withdrawal symptoms right now. Help me! :(

ok, here are some more photos to cheer myself up. looking at them makes me feel so happy! i wana go back!!

These are some photos taken at that vintage hang-out. lovely lovely furnitures and decor.

Woo.. i love this place. everything has this old school vintage feel. and the drinks come with a lovely orchid each. at cheap prices. why cant spore has something like that? i am beginning to hate "stink-gapore"--quoted from Jerry. i miss you, my lovely Bangkok...

Back from Bangkok!
I am back from the land of paradise-bangkok. It totally rocks my world! The food is delicious and cheap, the beer is freaking cheap, the clothes are prettay and cheap and the people there are harmless and nice!! weeeee! Bangkok rocks man. I lurve it! planning to go back in December. needa start jio-ing ppl already. Weeee!! :)

Oh well, think i shall let my pictures speak in this entry. Not many photos exactly, cus some photos are with the rest of the ppl. but well, here goes. This 1st pic on the right is taken at the airport b4 leaving for bangkok. We were both so excited! THe second one was taken while we were still waiting for the flight. haha. tired but excited.
look at keong's "tired" face. :)

Haha. This is on the plane. obviously. Still EXCITED. :P

Alright,after 2hrs of boring flight, we reached the land of cheap cheap lovelys! First, we went to chinatown for some sumptous seafood late dinner. It was pretty good. We had shark's fins, deer meat, beef, and many many good food. Look at the prawn! it is HUMONGOUS! We didnt eat the prawns though. haha.
First night in Bangkok was a relaxed one. Went to "The Rock Pub" after good seafood dinner. THe live band there was amazing!! THey can sing anything from Pink Floyd to Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The guitarist was sooooooo good! Better than Reverie's guitarist. THe thai guitarist was so fast with his fingers! We were all so damn impressed with the band. If only Singapore has such a good band!! Ordered a bottle of JD coke which only costs $60! A bottle in Spore will cost me 3times more! I repeat: Bangkok ROCKS!! only took a picture in the pub cus we were too busy admiring the live band. thats me and keong with Jack Daniels. I look sooooooooo fat here! boo-hoo. Yah, that was pretty much what happened for the first night. some chilling out here and there. with good yummy seafood and cheap quality alcohol, accompanied by the greatest rock live band. That's Bangkok for you, baby.

Shopping at these boutiques rocks my world! miss the times when me, hsulin and jen will go to these boutiques to shop. hHaha.

We spent a real long time shopping. so tired fm the walking and q-ing up. wah, q-ing up is the most tiring thing man. aft that, we went to mac for an ice cream n a drink b4 heading home. on the train back, we took some photos. they all look the same but some are taken by me, n some are taken by her. haha. gonna upload them soon! needa get the adapter fm brownie, then upload the photos here. i love ong lai! so sad tat she is going to mexico already. wanted to invite her to my bday celebration! :(

2006-06-25T09:48:00.000-07:00

Happy Happy Jaws

I am really happy today! Well, u can say its rainbow after the rain. or whatever idiom there is to describe my feelings right now. Cus yest, i had a major row with K which left feeling depressed n really upset. i felt so irritated and i thought life was so unfair to me. but we decided to talk things thru calmly n after a while, our argument was resolved. and i called in sick for my job yest. Really dint feel like working yest. had this anti-bar-job-syndrome, which reached its maximum yest. i was so happy i dint go for work! haha. though i earn $40 less for missing yest. i met up with K for supper then turned in at 2am. for the first time, i could slp early n that really made me very happy! i realise that many ppl can be very grouchy when they do not have enuff slp.

and i actually woke up to teach tuition today. yay! i finally managed to wake up to teach tuition! the gal is a really quiet and nice gal. it was a joy teaching her. :) then went with my younger sis n qiao n K to bugis. i saw sooooo many things i wanted to buy! but i kept telling myself. no way. i needa save money. for bangkok. cant buy anything today. n i cant believe it! i dint buy any clothes today! haha. but i bought quite a couple of stuff fm body shop cus they are really having major sales! who can resist the lure of body shop sales? haha. bought an eye makeup remover gel, 2 small body butters (for Brownie and my sis) , and the most lovable irrisistable strawberry body polish! haha. ok, i was kinda sad when i had to part with my money but i really think they are very good buys! i feel like going back to buy more when i get my pay fm shoe shop tml. haha. so glad that both my sis n Brownie like the body butters! yay! i think body shop rocks. :)

then, after a looooong day of shopping in squeezy Bugis, me n brownie wanted to eat something good. but we dint wana eat at a cafe again. i remembered Bok and Adelia told me that there is an eatery called "xiao yang-er" at bugis. so we headed there. but the whole street is lined with steamboat buffets n we dint know which one to choose! wanted to eat tian tian huo guo but it was kinda exp. then xiao yang-er was so packed. so we settled for another steamboat restaurant called "shanghai crusine". the price is the same as yang-er. not very cheap. but we decided to have that anyway cus we act took a really long time deciding on which restaurant to choose. the food there is pretty good. mayb u could try it next time! anyway, i decided on that restaurant in the end, cus there was aircondition, it wasnt as packed n Zoe tay went there to eat before. hahahah. well, had a really sumptous dinner. wanted to take lotsa pictures but we were so busy eating. haha. and i wore so slack today! anyway, here is one photo of us aft we filled our stomachs. its kinda not nice. but i still like it. haha. i look really fat in the photo! and with no makeup n everything. but today is a happy day, so here it goes:

Alright, thats for today. i still cant believe i survived thru tuition n my strong shopping temptation today! yay! :)

2006-06-24T00:14:00.000-07:00

Damn pissed off at work. aargh.

I was damn frigging pissed off at work yest! aargh!! ok, first of all, i went to Bugis yest with my younger sis. Fearing that i ll be late for work, i rushed all the way down to CQ, leaving my sis n her fren behind. and when i reached, there was no punch cards and i realised my manager took them all with him. so, i rushed up to him n asked for my punch card, cus if i m late, he ll minus my pay again, which is damn unfair! you know what? instead of giving me my punch card, he scolded me for coming so late when i was actually punctual! and he kept scolding me and in the end, he asked me to go up to the locker room first n refused to give me my punch card. When i came down fm the room, i was already 3 freaking mins late n i was so frustrtated!! i was punctual ook? and i couldnt punch in. what kind of logic is it? then now i gotta minus off $3 cos i m 3 mins late. Tell me, is it fair to me? wah, damn bloody pissed until i cried at work yest. so angry!!

it was kinda funny i think. cus i was crying n quarrelling with him at the same time n everone was looking. n everyone was prolly thinking, "what the heck? she dares to quarrel with him?" cus although everyone hates him, no one dare to say anything. i think everyone was pretty shocked yest. seriously, what kind of logic is this man? it was obvious he was dragging time when he kept talking to me n scolding me, so that i ll be late n he can cut my pay. it was so obvious ok? i mean, he could have told me fm the start that he is not gonna give me the punch card unless i leave my bag upstairs first. but he dint. he lept wasting my time n talking to me, and scolding me n whatever shit. then, he told me to go up n put my bag first. what the.. in that way, i was already late n had to pay $3 for nothing. absolutely NOTHING!! aargh. so pissed. ><

Oh, and to add on to the fire, i quarrelled with my fren yest. i was quite angry with her act, cus every single time i ask her out, she isnt free. what the hell. u tell me u r my very good fren, yet every single time i date you, u cant make it. u say u are busy,and u ve no time to go out, yet the next day u are going out with ur junior or whoever. i feel that you dont ever make time for me at all. not even once. Actually, i wanted to talk about my bday plans with u but u cant even afford to pick up ur golden phone. forget it man. you have changed alot. and i think, it may be better that we become acquaintances or normal frens. i hate it when u say u are my good fren yet u are never there at all. forget it man. u ve changed too much, beyond my recognition.

Well, to end off on a good note, i called m.y. yest n we chatted for ard 1/2 an hr on the phone. so happy to hear her voice! love you gal.. :) M.Y. is going to Japan for her summer program! omg. for one n a half months! Feel so happy for her! Love you gal. kinda sad that we cant meet up this hols, but she promised to meet up when sch starts. n i believe she ll definitely meet up unlike someone else above, who has been saying about meeting up for 2 yrs now, n doesnt even make the effort to do so. maintaining a friendship requires alot of efforts n it doesnt come easy. m.y. is really one of the sweetest gals ard. really thanks alot for being there! :) Here are some photos of us, haha: think we were at TAKA. :)

2006-06-21T23:23:00.000-07:00

Registering for GEs today- Disastrous!

Alright, so i woke up damn early today, at 1130am to register for my GEs. Kinda anxious cus for CS subjects, there is no waiting list. it is based on first come first served. So i heard that Shimin n Colin are taking 318-an editing class n i decided to take it as a GE as well. since it is a rather useful class and they are taking it as well. but when the time came for registration, i couldnt take it at all! cus my photojourn class (313) clashes with 318. being the "intelligent" me, i saw that there was an option in STARS which allowed u to drop subjects. Thus, i happily went to drop 313 tut 2 as a Prescribed, thinking that i can add it back,but this time, as 313 tut 1. This will fulfil my wish of taking 318, n at the same time i can take 313 tut 1 as a prescribed. and u noe what, after dropping 313 tut 2, i couldnt add 313 tut 1 as a PE!! cus today is registration for general electives only, and i cant add PE today.

that got me really anxious.cus photojourn is such a popular class n i ve one PE less. In order to keep calm, i went to add 318 as a GE first as the vacancies are dwindling by the minute. initially, there were 5 vacancies.by the time i added it, there were only 3 left. after which, i looked at 313 tut 1 slots n realised there were only 2 slots left! i was so nervous n scared cus i tot i might jus end up with no photojourn to take n may have to take stupid statistics class? omg. So, being the "intelligent" me again, i went to add 313 tut 1 as a GE!! Cus i wanted to secure the slots first. I think Colin n Shimin both tot i was mad when i told them i added it as a GE. haha. in the end, i had 2 PEs, and 4 GEs!! which was absolutely ridiculous. So i called Miss Susan Lai, and asked for her help. and she kindly helped me change my 313 fm a GE to a PE. oh my. it was just ridiculous! i have never had such a dramatic experience registering for subjects before! mmm.. THanks to Moon anyway, for providing me with Miss Susan's number. haha. THanks alot!

Anyway i was reading moon's blog n saw some funny comments by the football commentators. hilarious. i remember one too. this commentator was saying:" Its really sad that Zidane is bald at such a young age. such a poor chap." and i was like, "hello! you are supposed to be talking about the match! why are you talking about the captain's hair?" its just wierd. sometimes i really wonder what is going thru their heads at the moment. but its pretty funny n entertaining. haha.

alright, thats it for now. needa get ready for work. i have a looooooong night ahead. gonna work for cati then bar. wow. gonna be tired. See u!

2006-06-21T08:46:00.000-07:00

Happy 2years and 5months baby dearie!

Look! i have a new blog skin! so happy that everyone thinks my new blog skin is nice. yeah! thanks people. :) i only started giving out my blog address to ppl, and it feels really great to have ppl complimenting it! so happy.
Anyway today is me and brownie's 2years and 5mths together! cant believe we have been together for so long already! love you keongkie. kinda sad that we dint celebrate today cus i m busy working. well, what to do? needa save money for bangkok trip! So, here is just telling you my dear, hope we ll be together happily forever and ever! yay!

Survey job rocks my world!

2006-06-20T11:37:00.000-07:00

Alright, 3 blogs in a row are making my wrists tired. i have things that i wana say yet forgot along the way. well, never mind then. needa blog now cus over the weekend, ll be real busy.

anyway i finally made time to go out with my dearest Brownie last weekend! it was so fun! i took some photos along the way. will upload here soon! i only took a few photos though. regret! went with brownie to fish n co for my treat of favourite SEAFOOD PLATTER! Yay! then went far east shopping, where i bought a lovely lovely eyelet dress for $50. not exactly cheap but its lovely. love it so much. think i ll wear it out with brown on our next outing. yay! i have been so busy lately that meeting up with brownie is such an amazing thing. i mean, last time, going out with him is something so normal. and we do that like every single weekend, going to all the different shopping malls etc etc. but now, i prefer going out with him only once in a long while, cus it makes the whole experience so much more memorable. even a dinner at fish n co and shopping at far east with him could be so fun! i love brownie! MUACKS!

he had been treating me these days cus i m broke. cant wait for my pay this weekend! i m gonna treat him to something nice. buy a top for him n treat him to this posh jap restaurant. shun bian celebrate our 2yrs and 5mths together! i love baby brownie so much! :) i really wana treat him to something good aft i get my pay. yay !

anyway i m now doing this survey job for my sch. the usual cati. but this one, the pay rocks! a completed survey earns me $7 to $14. the more surveys i complete, the higher each completed survey ll be. i did 8 today in a short 4 hours! so happy.which means i can earn $56 to $112 just on 8 surveys, depending on how many completed surveys i do in the end. well, i can say this survey job rocks my world! love it! it isnt very difficult to convince the ppl to do ur survey but when u get rejected, it sucks lah. well,i m certainly looking forward to doing this job again tml! :)

yay, so excited about going to bangkok soon. cant wait for this getaway! gonna shop shop shop. shopping is the best form of therapy any gal can get.

anyway eug got into a bike accident! aww. me n dap may be visiitng tml or on thurs. poor thing him. went to play bike with shawn. so dangerous. cant believe i used to sit on bikes every night home when i worked in alley. dont think i ll ever try again. after hearing andrew, richmond, and then now, eug all got into accident. oh man. keong doesnt like me taking motorbikes home either.

anyway had a really long talk with hwee sim yest. she is the sweetest lah! love talking to her man. and i finally got a sms fm manyi yest too! she's been busy with work. guess everyone's busy with work lately. cant wait to meet them! ame too! havent seen ame in like a year? thats ridiculous! she say we ll definietely meet up aft july. i really hope so! i wanted to meet up with her on my bday. but i think she cant make it. so sad. ame really changed quite alot. not like the old ame i used to noe. but still wana meet up with her n catch up on old times. miss all my darling frens. thanks hwee sim for always being by my side for every single thing. u are the sweetest, darling gal! we are definitely gonna meet up soon yah? yeah~

alright, Samuel's band is outta superband already. :( we still have tix to go in cus my sis knows lucify. but i dont feel like going anymore since qinobe is out already. samuel, u noe u rock. dont be too sad k? remember that ur frens will always be by ur side. :)

ok, i shall post some phtos soon when i have more time. needa watch the match already! nights. Muacks. :* meanwhile, here's a photo of me n my fav hweesim. :) Love you gal!

World Cup Fever

2006-06-20T11:11:00.000-07:00

Somehow, this yr, i dont get as excited about the world cup as the last one 4 yrs back. mayb its bcause there are other things bugging me like stupid projects and money problems! well, but i still gotta say that i have been watching some of the matches, esp those with my favourite Brazil and Argentina. Ronaldinho rocks my world! if only i can interview him one day. oh man. thats gonna be my dream. and i promise i ll fulfil it one day! gonna make full use of my journalistic skills. haha. Ronaldinho, here i come!! Love you! anyway, i jus discovered that he is 180 cm tall and 80kg. he certainly doesnt look that tall and big. somehow. well, i dont really care. as long as he continues to play well, he ll always be the best soccer player in my heart. Ronaldinho, i love you! :) somehow, Zidane has failed to impress in this world cup. watched him play against switzerland. he was good, yes. but france's teamwork jus isnt good enuff. i vividly rem zidane quarrelling with his team mate while on the field. mmm. no good no good.

England. another of my favourite. havent really caught them in action yet. cus everytime they play, i m working. and cant really stop to watch. jus rem that the only goal they scored against some country was an own goal. erm. not very impressive. Go England! i love you guys! anyway they are playing later at 3am. and im so excited to watch them play! cant wait. one of the few times when i can watch soccer in the comfort of my own house rather than sneaking into a dark corner of Bungee's and trying to watch. i practically hid in a corner thruout the whole of Brazil's match against Aussie cus i badly wanted to watch it!

Yah, i think Germany plays well too. though i dont support them. kinda disappointed that they changed the goalkeeper! i mean, i really liked the old one. what was his name? wolfgang? whatever. just kinda sad. but my dad says this new one is much better. mmm. lets watch n see. saw him in action jus now. not bad. He was quite flexible.

alrighty, Japan put up some disappointing shows. dont think they can make it into top 16 which is really sad. and Korea isnt any better. kinda disappointed. i tot Korea played much better than Japan but they lost to France, which weakens their chance of getting in.

Well, life's a bitch isnt it? u cant get ur way all the time. fight hard for ur goals and ur dreams! i really hope brazil ll get champs again this yr, with Argetina or England coming in 2nd. way to go dudes! i make it my goal to interview you guys next time when i m in the industry! Soccer watching kinda rocks my world. even when i am broke and feel like i cant survive sans money. mmm. it must be the handsome dudes with their amazing dribbling skills. :)

Woah! havent been blogging!

2006-06-20T10:20:00.000-07:00

Woah. Havent blogged for a long long time. Where shall i start? oh well, lets start fm the day of i started working in Tim's bar. Well, its very tiring and you gotta do alot to earn ur 8 bucks per hr but its fun! the idea of earning $8 an hr rather than miserable $4.50 gives me the motivation to carry on everytime. and it so happens that all the gals working there happen to noe each other, and bok is there too! with these lovely gals ard, i look forward to working everyday as it is so fun n we all can click together like one big family. well, what can i say? THanks Tim! for bringing me and bok they all into this job! i love bok so much. work with her is always so lively n interesting. i must say this job has brought me much closer to bok as compared to our jc days when i dint even noe her well. and i must say, i definitely ll be dating her and the rest out even after the job ends! :) So happy.

Oh well, i spent only one day rushing for my indesign poster, brochure and invitation card designs last mon when my deadline was last tues. and i couldnt finish it on time. ended up handing in really slip shoddy work which i hate. i think i ll never take intersem again if there's a chance. there's no motivation to work hard at all! all i wana do is work, earn money and go shopping. oh man. well, i have a very bad feeling i ll get really bad grades for 226. mmm. wad to do. i dint even put in efforts at all. ppl did 8 pages for brochure, i only did 1 page. omg! well, its all over, so i shall stop dwining on it. and yah, the liberation day came last thurs at 330 pm when the exams were over! i was exhilarated. the exams were manageable i must say. but everytime i think about the slip shoddy work i handed in for project, i feel kinda disappointed with myself. :( ok, yup, so i had been working for the past weekend after exams ended, in Bungee Bar. tiring but fun. i calculated, only working for a few days, but can get alot of money! i think my pay is gonna be $500 for just a few days of work in Bungee. That rocks! Well, i needa save up my money cus i am constantly in debts. :( Need to pay off all my debts before i can start sspending money. although i havent been keeping true to my promise. hai!

Alright, i shall talk about other things in the next entry as i dont like my entries to be long. :)

NUS Business School's adv sucks

2006-06-04T09:42:00.000-07:00

NUS Business school's advertisement sucks! i seriously wonder who thought of that advert. Its kinda embarrassing, comparing themselves to top 10 business schools in the world, and making them sound like they are the best. it just looks like a whole marketing tactic gone very wrong. eew. i cringed at the commercial when i saw it on tv. the filming is rather bad too. but i will not comment on that since the idea of the adv surpasses all its negative points. its the evil of the evil. oh my god. the idea is just ridiculously bad. i mean, i liked last year's adv. it was creative and rather cool. but this year's idea, in my opinion, will not even attract anyone to wana enter the school! if i m making my choice in choosing a uni,and i had wanted to choose NUS, i would have changed my mind aft that. seriously, i think the adv shd be suspended. it is very EMBARRASSING.

anyway, i am not in NUS so i dont really care as much. jus giving my opinions on the issue. i wonder what my sch mates think. if it isnt the sch hols now, we will defitely have an enjoyable time criticising this commercial! i can imagine how fun it ll be. haha.

Well, had really bad cramps today. hurt like mad. and couldnt do practically anything today. damn sian. just kept eating and then slacking on my sofa, writing my articles. actually i jus finished writing like a few min back. i cant believe i wrote my articles fm 3p.m. all the way till 1 a.m. today. haha. was watching toy story while watching as well. it is a good story! watched it a couple of times b4 but still wana watch it again. its one of those feel good shows where you wouldnt mind watching it again n again. just like 50 first dates. brings back good memories of me and k. awww.. love k to bits! love you wk! muacks.

yah, i have decided to bid for 3 necklaces i saw online. hope i win them! but i ll be at work tml when the bid ends. and i dont know wad to do man. damn. i really like them alot and i have calculated, i only need to pay $11, including postage for 3 lovely necklaces. i mean, how cheap is that? i havent came up with a plan yet, on bidding tml but i guess i ll do something about it. mmm.. hope i win them! yeah man. they are all so nice n cool.

2006-06-03T10:37:00.000-07:00

i am so tired from the continuous few days of work. and all i earn is kinda little! aargh. i have decided, i am gonna work in Tim's bar after my intersem. seriously, 8bucks an hr is so much better than 4.5bucks an hr! i am being exploited! although i do admit that being a waitress is slightly tougher and the working hrs are like shit, but 8 bucks an hr can allow me so much more luxury when i go to thailand! cant wait to go man. i ve calculated. if i m not gonna shop alot in bkk, 400 to 500 bucks shd be enuff. dont think i need more than that. and my pay on 25th june ll prob be ard $450, which makes it a comfortable amount to bring with me to thailand to shop. hope i have enuff when the time comes! :)

so glad tml is off day. i will come back aft tuition to rush my 2 mag articles. aft that, i ll do the indesign layout for the bar article. if i still have time, i ll most prob work on my assignments. cus i wana be free fm sch aft 9jun! i wana spend some days working n resting while studying for exams. dont wana waste time doing the stupid assignments anymore! alright, thats it man. i dont wana waste time ranting on about sch anymore. it makes me wana throw up.

Anyway, i jus won another top online today. its a really nice A&F polo tee! :) yeah. cant wait to get it! the prob is that i dont have enough money with me now. mmm. think i ll borrow fm K. he is the best best best! hehe. i love you WK. :)

mmmm. i need more money! i saw these really cool necklaces on ebay n i cant wait to have them. but i am very broke. n i cant afford to buy anymore things. :( thats really sad. oh i bought a pistol charm today! how cool is that? love it to bits! and i created a necklace too! love the necklace man. its gold with two lightning bolts charms. doesnt it sound cool? haha. alright, thats about it. needa slp early today cus i ve tuition tml. sick. its already 2am!! how on earth am i gonna wake up? sick. k, i am gona slp in a while!

School is stressing me out.

2006-06-01T09:59:00.000-07:00

School is freaking me out. We spent 3 hrs in the foyer of sch today just discussing about magazine layout. and we did not attend the class at all. i cant believe we spent such a long time in the foyer talking about the layout for our mag, skipped class, and all we came up with was just 3 miserable pages of layout. :( and i felt that i couldnt contribute much cus i am not a very good person to approach when it comes to layout and design. worse still, our teacher didnt even teach us layout n indesign at all. wad the... but we figured it was because he felt that 5 weeks is too short a period to impart his indesign skills to us. which is pretty sad. seriously, this is a layout, or rather desktop publishing class. but i dont feel like i learnt anything thats related to design n layout. which was wad i hoped to achieve by the end of this intersem. wad a disappointment. all we ve been learning is more related to mag publishing n journalism. i mean, to me, it works as well, cus i am specialising in journalism. but it jus disappoints cus you dont get what you had expected. :(

alright, anyway i have lotsa deadlines to meet for the next two weeks which is freaking me out. next mon is the deadline for my articles. i m suposed to write it today, according to my pre planned schedule, but i did not. aft a long day in sch n at work, all i wanted to was have a good rest aft i reach home! and so here i m, blogging away, n doing soome online shopping. Bought a really cute tee shirt. really scared i cant fit into it. but its really cute. shall post the picture up in my next entry. :)

ok time to put on the blue hat n organise myself. Fri work-11 to 10 pm. Sat work-12 to 8. Sun tuition 12 to 130pm. maybe go swimming with sis. then do articles and mag layout. Mon work till 7pm. finish up mag layout. this is basically my plan for now. need to stick to it! i feel really stressed n tired. you noe, like u are stressed about something but u dont feel like doing anything about it? thats exactly wad i m feeling right now. that sucks. :(

my fren smsed me today n asked if i wana work part time at the bar he is working at. I was thinking, since i ve prior experience in working in bars, mayb i shd jus give it a try. the pay is good. much much better than the sucky pay i m earning now in my shoe shop. :( but i feel really bad cos my boss is so nice n i dont want to back out on him when i already promised to work till aug. damn. if only he isnt nice. then i can leave without any obligations. :( damn!

my main concerns now are: 1) finish this intersem without any disastrous failures or whatever. 2) earn as much money as i can.
i wana have enough money to spend comfortably when i go to bangkok in July. i dont wana keep depending on K for money. i wana have the power to spend my own money! but at the rate i am going, i dont think i ll have enough for thailand. mayb i shd take on the bar job asap. haha. hope i get it! ok, i am gonna shop for some stuff now. nights.

Da Vinci Code: The Movie

2006-05-31T07:12:00.000-07:00

Skipped class yesterday for it is getting more and more of a torture for me. There are lots of things to do within a short period of time and i am getting really stressed up and fed up. Alright, lets skip the annoying topic of school.
I went to watch Da Vinci Code with K yest late at night. He hasnt read the book yet while i had. I felt the movie was pretty good! i wonder why many critics give it such bad comments. The screenplay carefully weaved in the facts using flashbacks and dialogues. For a moment, i thought they might explain everything using long and tedious dialogues. thank goodness. the flashbacks were clear, making it easy for audience who have not read the book before to understand. K understood the movie well, and he felt that everything flowed neatly and cohesively. However, if i am not mistaken, i think there is a part which was interpeted differently in the movie as compared to the book. i dont know if it is the movie, or is it that i forgot the contents of the book, given that i read it quite long ago. mmm..
Tom Hanks acting is as usual, very good. Tom Hanks never fails to make every character come alive, acting out the role as if it was meant for him. He can make any character's emotions stand out, which makes me really admire him. how i wish i get to conduct an interview with him one day. *(well, daydream on!)* And audrey is so pretty! Her acting is fantastic too. i have only seen her act in Amelie before and i think this role is so different from that in Amelie! But she brought out the role well. She is totally the ideal Sophie Neveau. My impression of Sophie when i read the book is exactly the same as that potrayed in the movie. and i thought it was a job well done, by the director and of cus, Audrey herself.
Alright, i ll update about the 5 different bars when i am in the mood. Thats Da Vinci Code for you now. :)

Get an ELECTRIC SHOCK!

2006-05-24T11:15:00.000-07:00

I have decided to start a brand new blog after i discovered that my professors have been readng my old blog. As i tend to blurt my feelings out in black and white, i think it will be safer for me to go undercover with this new image, and of course, new identity.
I am really into lightning bolts and that explains the name of my blog, "Get an Electric Shock". i will post my entries regularly in the days to come, so sit back and be prepared to be struck by me!

Well, to start off my first entry, i will like to introduce my favourite topic of all times- Online Shopping. Shopping on the net rocks. You dont need to jostle with the crowd, nor do you need to make up your mind immediately. If you shop on auctions site, there is also room for unsightful, and unglamorous haggling of prices. Usually, the sellers are really nice and they offer a little tiny bit of discount. but that's good enough for me i guess. online shopping also allows you to get exclusive items! people often ask, where do you get your stuff? i say, "as usual, online." They laugh. Well, cause i am an online shopping addict and my friends cant stand the idea of staring at the computer screen for hours, scrolling through a million items before they find the things they like.

For me, shopping in the comfort of your own home is probably the best thing that can ever happen! I mean, what else can beat the aircon, the comfortable chair and simply a tiny laptop? and you can shop anywhere, anytime. I especially love it when we have classes in the computer labs. 80% of the time, i am shopping online, rather than listening to my lecturers. well, you cant blame me. As i had mentioned, i am ADDICTED!!

I sell stuff online too. but recently, my stuff isnt very popular with the shoppers. :( that is pretty sad. think i need to go shopping for goodies overseas again! the items i got fm overseas are usually popular with the shoppers. Now that they are all sold, and the rest are pretty stale items, i better do something about it. mmm..

Well, so much for my online shopping endeavours. I need to stop somewhere i guess. :) Anyway, i am dropping by 5 really cool bars this friday for a magazine article i am working on right now. I cant wait! will update everyone about the 5 bars! I have been readin up about them recently, and they all have rather positive comments so i hope i wont be disappointed.

Alright, get an electric shock by Lightning bolt's first strike.
