this is so frustrating! after not blogging for such a looonnngggg time, i decided to post a longer entry this time around BUTTTTTTT omg... so angry!! the page just refreshed!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!!! to type everything again is not at all appealing to me!! but nothing still beats how irritating the weather has been, on days when i want to exercise, it rains... not only does it rain, IT POURS... yet, on days when i'm going out, it's sooooooo terribly hot, makes my hair all limpy and my skin all sticky!

the holidays are almost over for me, i'm starting work on monday. many have posted me this question, are you excited??? oh well, i wouldn't say excited is the right word to use, probably because i'm not exactly aware of what i've signed myself to and i'm a bit reluctant to leave behind the freedom of time that i currently am enjoying. over the past month, i've achieved many things, went to japan with the pfm people, went to jb, the land of coincidences, with some others, shop eat sleep, shop eat sleep... i dont have a lot of pictures to post as you all know, i'm hardly the trigger happy sort. so here's whatever bit i have :)

i dont know why the pictures are so blue though

friday marked my last official day of lessons, not yet the last day as a student until the exams are over, but it feels pretty much like the end. i'm not prepared to sum up my entire uni life this soon! the last week of school went by in a flash, maybe because i had 4 reports due on the last day of school and also because i'm such a procrastinator...

my 2nd last day of school was rather eventful, i had lunch with kaobei, ivane and ming. lunching with kaobei and ivane was quite fun! after 4 years since we left sajc, it's our first time having lunch together, alot of updates and catch up to be done, some shocking news too and kaobei is still as kaobei. she insisted on eating yong dao foo when ivane and i tried to tell her that the queue was too long. in the end, we all had yong dao foo because she is kb.. haha

after that, i went to sign my contract. yes friends, i'm officially employed! ok lah, technically still not yet since i have to wait for my medical results, but yeah let's hope everything turns out fine. i'm quite excited to embark on my next journey in life, can't wait to see what i can achieve and learn. the whole job-seeking experience was similar to a life-evaluating process. many a times you'll find yourself asking, what do you want to achieve in future? is that what you really want? i think up till today, i can't answer provide a firm solution for these 2 questions, but at least i know i'm on my way to finding that out, that's assuring. :)

the last day of school came and left, the day where all cameras come into use. the atmosphere was just different, everyone was smiling, everyone was laughing, and for once, i was reluctant to leave the lecture theatre. could it be my last time stepping into the lecture theatre, i wondered. for non-SDE students, you probably do not know the significance of the lecture theatre because you would have been studying at many different lecture theatres. for sde, its different. given our limited number of lecture theatres, i think i had like 80% of my modules taken in LR425. the lecture theatre where you can easily find dark brown stains on the carpet that have been there since ancient times and cracks on the tables, but it is still loved by all, or maybe it's just me? haha. i took very few photos on that day because with all the pro cameras, my canon ixus has lost its competitive edge.

poor xq is under hx's armpit

making payment at hong thai :(

i really need to work on my jumping expression

pfm gang!

after this photo was taken...

everybody: chat chat chat

xuemei: wah! look like F4!!!

everybody: silence

joel: xuemei is very kind..

i'm certain that most of us will be going "4 years gone, just like that??? thats too fast!!" well come to think about it, the next world cup is coming up (ronaldo and carlos have all retired since) and the circle line stations are opening. closer to the heart, i've obtained my driver's license, went through 2 internships and wrinkles are beginning to show up, 4 years aint such a short time after all. the reason why it felt seemingly short was because of the heavy workload and long time spent in school. of course, i enjoyed every single minute of it, be it the bad or good times, because of all the new friendships forged in school. the pfm gang and some other friends, you made going to school a real joy, every 5-10 minutes lecture breaks fun and all project discussions a learning process for me. thank you very much for these 4 years, I'll keep and cherish these memories with me always, unless i get dementia in the future... haha :)

zhenrui just said he's someone with integrity, intelligence and INTENSITY!!!

i say he's mad.. hahaha

it is so frustrating to send in job applications and not hear a single thing from the companies. what if my mail goes to their junk mail folder? what if they can't open the attachment? what if technology fails? so many what ifs that can be easily solved with a simple word, "received."

recently, i've been caught in this dilemma of attending a business function alone. as much as my heart doesn't want to, my mind is telling me that it is a good networking opportunity. hiaz... is it already time to grow up???

on a happier note, i watched alice in wonderland yesterday with seohoon. after watching the corpse bride, i was really hesitant to watch another tim burton's show. but this hesitation was totally uncalled for. alice in wonderland was really nice! i love shows with vibrant colours and wacky characters. but i felt an immensely guilty after watching the show... look at the pile of undone work!!!

TGIF TGIF TGIF TGIF!!!

i had a really funny dream last night, which i woke up to laughing away. haha, i'm pretty sure prior to me laughing, i must have been talking in my sleep again. i think talking in your sleep is a pretty serious issue, you can never control what you are saying and who will be listening. how to stop talking in my sleep!!! by the way, i'm not telling my dream for the purpose of filling up this space (only black-hearted lily will think of that. haha), i'm not so free ok! anyway, it's quite a long dream, so if you think you'll get bored, especially if you are not from PFM, don't bother reading lah, you can just scroll down to the next section :)

so anyway, i dreamt that the PFM gang were having dinner over at someone's place. and when i looked out of the window, it started snowing! i reached out of the window and caught snowflakes and excitedly shouted at everybody that it was snowing and invited them to catch snowflakes with me from the window. but NOBODY believed me except seo hoon, tsk tsk to the rest of you. so seohoon and i were catching snowflakes from the window, in Singapore ok! hahaha then i don't know why, i suddenly had to go into a room for a job interview (must be all the pressure and stress accummulated from job-seeking), MADDDDDD! so after i finished my interview, i came out of the room feeling that everything must be a dream!

so then i told seo hoon about my so-called weird 'dream' where it was snowing in Singapore. and she told me she was feeling the same too! she thought she was dreaming. we proceeded to touch my hand and there was a teensy weensy bit of snow left on my hand. hahahaha (apparently science doesn't work here, cus the snow didn't melt!) and so we really exclaimed to everybody that it was snowing and finally the rest took a proper look out of the window to see that it was still snowing, but it was beginning to lessen. so everyone was worried that it might stop soon and proceeded to rush out of the house to play in the snow. i was the last to leave the house because someone (must be lily lah) kicked my shoe far away from the entrance. so i quickly put my shoes on while chu lulu waited for me.

and i don't know why chu lulu made this comment in my dream, she said, "all the guys playing computer games now will also leave their games to watch this (snowing) in Singapore" crazy statement, why suddenly bring in guys playing computer games?!? must be because she has been playing too many of bigfishgames. hahaha. then after i wore my shoes and started running after the others, my feet started feeling really odd and so upon looking down, i realised i was wearing 2 different shoes (1 was mine, the other was unknown)! guess who wore my shoes? CHU LULU! hahaha... then i woke up laughing real loudly.

ok back to reality, wow it has been a month since i last updated, feels like a few days though. have been really really busy after cny, with all the presentations, report writing, job seeking, cover letter writing, resume polishing... yeah you get my point. let's see if i can still recall what happened over the past month or so...

i finally submitted my dissertation!

along with these happy people! don't be deceived by the smiles, everybody were dead tired inside!

and this was jiawei (s.ho) still rushing hers out 3 days?? prior deadline (still very happy though!)

and there's this group of people sitting in the middle section of the lecture theatre who usually arm themselves with newspapers on friday mornings. must be discussing politics here!

on friday, before the mid sem break, a group of us decided to have lunch and catch a movie (i can't remember the title, but i think everyone walked out of the cinema feeling cheated by hanxiang. haha). no pictures for lunch because everyone was too hungry to take photos, including the photographer. had some time to kill before the movie and so we turned back time, back when we were 13 year olds at a air hockey table...

yanwen's victory pose. showing signs of a demure lady already

seohoon's victory pose, another pushover. hahaha.

anyway we played in pairs, i played with adrian, which saw the puck flying out of the table many times due to his violent tendencies; lijing paired with chululu, both very garang girls playing, so the puck flew out a couple of times and lastly, yanwen and seohoon, where the puck did not fly out at all :S

on thursday, we went to adrian's place for steamboat! we had ALOT of scallops, boneless fish and of course fun and laughter.

Everybody.

Girls.

afterwhich, it was back to the hectic school life, where there was plenty of catching up to do because i neglected all of my modules while doing dissertation. I'll blog about my job seeking experiences, both the ups and downs, after i secure my first job :) happy weekend everybody!

2010-02-07T22:50:00.005+08:00

had a self-declared few days of holidays before getting back my 2nd draft tomorrow! and so friday i went out with weird friend to jurong point, quite a fruitful trip and we even took a photo together on the train! (this doesn't come naturally to us at all!) but because both of us had no make-up on, this photo shall just be for my personal viewing. had a h2h talk over lunch and it is really something that we have forgotten to do in the midst of all the projects and assignments. more to come in future ok!

before that, HAPPY EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY LILY CHEN LILY!
you have been my partner in crime the past few years, even more so lately (for being black-hearted). *even carol thinks so* so cheers to our friendship and love to tease people!

went out with an ah beng on saturday. supposed to shop for my cny clothes, but after seeing the long queues leading to the fitting room, i was left window shopping only.

this is tan beng aka ah beng. i always spend alot of money whenever i'm with her. more often than not, the bulk of it goes to food. she's camera shy which i find exceptionally endearing when she appears so paiseh in front of the camera. but of course, in person, she's not the least bit shy ok, its pretty much the total opposite! can't wait for march!

a couple of days back my conversation with a friend went like this...
me: yeah the electricity was cut so my plans were spoilt
friend: YOUR PANTS WERE SOILED?!?!
me: NO! why would i even tell you if that really happened?!?
friend: oh you should really keep it as a souvenir, don't wash
me: yeah and i'll wrap it up for you so that you can remember me whenever you like. and i'll purposely leave the remnants there for you too

it amazes me how this kind of conversation can even take place...

2010-02-04T21:07:00.005+08:00

i hate the word 'spring-cleaning'. it is a word that my mum abuses every chinese new year. she squeezes it dry until there's no room for any dust or mess. i'm forced to throw away things that i think i might have some use for in the future. i've nothing else to add, nothing much to type. probably this is the aftermath of churning out a 15k word report. sentences should just be kept short. better yet if there's nothing to say. i'm trying to cultivate the practice of taking pictures around school, so i shall let the pictures do the talking.

The hockers!!

all hot and sweaty after hockey. got scolded by everyone for taking the photo only after the session. the fault lies with the latecomers!

everyone all toasty and shiny after hockey.

school shots!

adrian's laptop. my finger turned black just trying to write this out.

at munchie monkeys
she wanted to start without me. greedyyyy...

we forgot to take a picture of seohoon and her food, so i guess that's a good enough reason to go back there again! more pictures in future!

2010-01-31T00:23:00.002+08:00

the 4th week of school is about to commence and i feel so disorientated still! time is passing too quickly for my liking, all because of the dreaded dissertation. with all my attention and focus solely on this project, i'm unable to enjoy all my last experiences as a student. take for example, bidding and balloting. it was my last time selecting and bidding for my modules, not that i really enjoy doing it, but i was unable to have a copy of that memory imprinted in my mind just because i was rushing out my first draft.

it is my last semester of school and i'm already a quarter through it. the past 3 weeks have been a blur because of my fyp once again, and this trend will probably continue until i finally hand it up which is mid semester! gasp, and then it will be a scurry to complete all the other projects and eat all my last meals in the different canteens around school. speaking of which, anybody wants to join me in my quest to eat at every single canteen this sem?

i must must must find a way to slow time down (who am i kidding) , enjoy walks around school, meet up with old friends while still having plenty of lunches with my coursemates and of course, study. and not forgetting to bring my camera around to capture these memories. thou declare, my last semester in school shall be a blast.

i was telling my dad to test his youtube app on iphone and he played bad romance by lady gaga. after bobbing my head to it for a couple of seconds, it has dawned on me that my dad listens to lady gaga. my dad is coolio to the max!

today, i passed weichen and zhenrui a box of hello panda each, and zr was so reluctant in accepting it! later i learnt that he thought i gave wc the contents in the box and gave him just the packaging. -_- utterly speechless...

pimples!!! sigh, more pimples are popping up and they are taking longer to recover! is that a sign of aging?

anyway i've just done the worst thing i could have ever done during this fyp period. i started watching 'you're beautiful'!!! yes, i'm very slow. and yes lily san, i can understand why you're so crazy about the show. haha.

last night was surreal, despite the wobbly legs and innate fear that i'll trip and fall on my face, the entire feeling was great! a pleasant surprise and i was pretty sure lily san was tricking me when she showed me my name on the booklet. come to think of it, my first reaction belonged to the ah lian nature in me, "siao wan! siao wan!" hahaha

talked to my prof yesterday about my fyp, have to rush out my 2nd draft in 10 days! siao wan! siao wan! more pimples await!

2010-01-16T22:31:00.004+08:00

was just talking to lily, my really practical friend who calls me black-hearted all day long.

me: do you know who is jang geun seok?
lily: OF COZ. my dp
me: he's coming to singapore leh!
lily: WHEN??? the article where?????? WHERE????
lily: my mouth open big (this expression is so hilarious, she's so excited that her english becomes incoherent)
lily: i'm sooooooo excited already. i'm going crazy. thanks huifang. i love you
me: crazy lily
lily: I LOVE HUIFANG!!!!!

see... so two-faced!!! hahaha.

2010-01-08T21:10:00.004+08:00

i finally got down to changing that confusing template, not only was it messy to look at, i went through a hell lot of trouble trying to edit the html and template settings. this current one is pleasing to the eyes and easy for an IT noob. while scanning through all the templates of the month, i was highly tempted to choose several templates whose faces of korean boybands were plastered on the very front page, enough to tempt me to visit my blog daily and probably blog more. haha but to prevent any of you from going, "wah! you listen to kpop! can't tell!" or worse still, "yucks you like them?!?!" i think plain and simple is the way to go.

i came back from penang about 2 weeks ago? or was it 3? anyway at changi airport arrival hall, while i was collecting my luggage, i vividly heard groups of girls practicing their screaming and cheering at the gate. so being kaypoh, my dad went to ask an indian cleaner.
dad: is there a famous person arriving?
indian cleaner (ic): yeah, korean star
dad: kim yong sun?
ic: ?!?!?!

in case you were wondering who kim yong sun is, its just a random name that my dad threw out, maybe he thought every korean's name sound similar, i don't know. haha so my mum pushed me to ask some of the fans (which would have been the right thing to do from the start rather than asking an ic) and it turned out to be lee min ho! the fan proudly told me that he was arriving at 807pm, her timing was so precised ok, so i thought since its already 730, why not wait right. so the family had yakun kaya toast for dinner which was the only eatery nearest to the arrival hall, so that we wont look as anxious as the fans.

the wait would be considered really worthwhile as 2 days later i learnt that people paid 100 over dollars just to watch him feed people. that money can be used for much more practical purposes lah! ok who am i to complain when i spent an hour of my time waiting for him at the arrival hall. in the end, i gave up waiting, it was 845 and still no sign of him! &#*&*#U@*#(@!!!

a couple of days later, i went for a chalet with my uni friends. remember the past when you have 3 days 2 nights chalet with your classmates? that's no longer trendy for my age group. we need our sleep! haha. especially my dear weird friend who becomes extremely intolerable with little sleep. the chalet was fun, exchanging of gifts was hilarious and my personal favourite present of the night would have to be weijuan's thumbdrive. haha. how practical is that!!!

other than that, this holidays i've been cooping myself up at home, staring at the screen, waiting for any writer's inspiration. of course while waiting, there's always youtube or blogs to keep you occupied. i wonder if any of my friends set a blog counter or user tracker, if there's such a term, to their blogs, i'm sure my url will appear multiple times a day. anything beats doing that dreadful fyp. and as you would have noticed, i'm again blogging during my busiest period as part of my procrastination activities. sigh. i deserve a kick in the butt.

2009-12-07T23:59:00.008+08:00

i had to change my blogskin after the previous one went blank on me, some issue with photobucket. couldn't leave my blog in an abandon state, and so i got down to changing immediately. i reckon choosing a blogskin is similar to a handphone, where everything shown on one page works best for me, just like how my preferred handphone type is, non-flip or slide. while i updated my links, there were many friends whose links i was hesitant in deleting, not because we're no longer friends, but because they've stopped writing and the reluctance was due to the hope that one day, they'll start writing again. it's nice to read an entry concerning their lives or activities which the both of us took part in, some call it being kpo, while i view it as "concern".

with the end of the exams, i was supposed to continue on my dissertation. yes, supposed to. the procrastinator in me has triumphed once again and this is causing a constant nagging thought in my head. maybe this is the reason for my hair loss. hopefully i'll grow back an entire head full of hair when this project is over.

meeting up with the hockey people on friday night after a month's break for the exams was great. it's true that absence makes the heart fonder, i missed them alot! we had crystal jade xlb buffet for dinner and it was a night overloaded with xlb. 40 baskets shared between 12 plus steamboat and 5 baskets of csb. i would upload photos if i had, maybe i'll wait for yuhan to upload hers first. i usually bring my camera out during gatherings, but rarely for the hockey people because they are not like some of the photo-taking frenzy friends that i have (*ahem xuemei, seohoon, xiaoqian, joel) and my digital camera pales in comparison with all the pro cams.

hockey on sunday was tiring. i woke up this morning feeling partially paralysed. but it felt good! i love muscle aches, not the pain but the symbolic meaning behind it :) oh and i'll be going overseas for 9 days next week, i need to find someone to look after mandusa!!! (my fighting fish) he's really low maintenance and if you forget to feed him for a couple of days, he'll still survive! any volunteers?

2009-10-28T16:37:00.002+08:00

pardon my long hiatus, i've lost all motivation to blog and thought of closing down, but then someone told me, what if you feel like blogging again one day? then you'll have to start a whole new blog. which i thought, yeah! it'll be extremely mafan, especially with the blogskin and the html reading, so i've decided to keep this blog, and only blog when i feel like it. if only someone invent a mind reader where all your thoughts get processed into words without having to move a finger, then i'll blog daily!

was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and we had this huge debate on spitting. i declared that spitting is a disgusting habit while my friend claims that having cough up phlegm and swallowing it down is even more disgusting, which i beg to differ. how can that be more disgusting than spitting right!

question to ponder, would you spit in public if you couldn't find a dustbin/toilet or a tissue paper to spit into? or would it be more acceptable to swallow it back down?

2009-05-05T14:10:00.003+08:00

the period of exams means more youtube and indulgence in activities that would seem insignificant once the exams are over. korean pop seems more interesting of late, not only to me but apparently to some other friends too. within a span of 2 days, i've been asked twice to watch this:

nobody by wondergirl

seriously, isn't the same phrases being repeated over and over again? obviously my guy friends are the ones who like them, those cute, young and pretty things.

on the otherhand, i think this is better!

omigawd, this feels so secondary school-ish!

2009-02-04T21:07:00.003+08:00

an abstract taken from a website: "According to Stephen, "Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."" stephen king and i share the same sympathies! but ironically, despite thinking the same way, i still like the books.

we watched bride wars today!

MY HAIR IS BLUE! haha the blue streaks look awful with blond base. probably black will be much better

2009-01-30T21:05:00.005+08:00

just found out that new media tutorials are discussion-based. i hate hate HATE discussion-based tutorials! i'm the sort who sits, takes down answers and go home mug. and it doesn't help that it's an arts module, so i feel the language handicap there even before going for a tutorial :(

this week has been a physically unproductive week (underlying meaning: zero work done) but a rather emotionally testing one.

i quarrelled and am still quarrelling with my mother.. everyday! especially during CNY period, because i cannot stand her obsession with cleanliness and she really takes advantage of the term "SPRING CLEANING".

MANDUSA lost his battle against shen's fish. it was heartbreaking to watch mandusa's tail locked onto shen's or paula's fish's mouth. i think i gave the people beside me a couple of bruises when i squeezed their arms for support.

my dissertation topic was hardly do-able.

and a lot more, but whatever happened to reporting positive stuff only? there are hardly any to talk about these days... i think the highlight of my week was last night's gathering with a bunch of friends who are comfortable with silences and alot of lame jokes. i'll find more lame jokes before our next outing! aunty xinyi, please help me get some from uncle zhenrui and lijing!

2009-01-18T21:57:00.004+08:00

Just the other day, i found myself sniggering uncontrollably to myself in the bus. Well, after seeing someone running for the bus, the past became all too familiar, minus the part where monica flew and skidded on the road, before picking herself up and carried on with the chase.

my dad's creation, a mini art piece of his. i'm pretty amused, i wonder how the recipient will react to this. in case you can't see the value of each stamp clearly, they are 5 cents each.

school has started, and i'm not the least bit motivated to start any readings. this is very worrying but i've yet to do anything about it. any studying khakis??

2009-01-17T00:39:00.004+08:00

i've been writing blog posts on my itouch aka edward and have been too lazy to transfer them to blogspot.. until today.. forgive how old some of the entries may seem or how unrelated they are to today's events, they were relevant during the period of writing.

just some quick updates from the previous entries, the battle of the fighting fishes only happened between the undertaker and MANDUSA. because marie and sharkular died, one being eaten by a bird who enjoys fine-dining (eating the most expensive fish) and the other probably from being overfed. the battle will resume on the 23rd, where kiasu shen has bought a grand total of 3 fishes and when paula finally buys the fighting fish waiting for her at the aquarium. MANDUSA is really looking forward to give shen's fish another round of thrashing.

2009-01-17T00:36:00.003+08:00

Everytime i find an interesting read, i end up losing sleep over it, its bad. I don't know how any girl who has read the twilight series can keep the whole story to herself. Gushing, sharing and exclaiming is a must. Despite all the ups and downs in the story, I always end up sleeping with a heavy heart. Although this series has a huge impact on my emotions like most enjoyable books do, it pales in comparison to the harry potter series. Perhaps it's the endless usage of the word beautiful or how fragile bella is seems to irk me. I'm all for a stronger woman. In literal sense. I also want the impossible.

I can't sleep so I'm blogging from my bed. It's troublesome to blog using this method, but it's convenient and I'm hoping I might accidentally doze off in the midst of finding the correct alphabets with my fingers. Judging from the length of this entry, it's not working. Today I accompanied the west pack to qian hu fish farm to buy their fighting fishes. A pretty wide but sleepy collection. But of course they each bought a fish that is deemed to be the ultimate warrior. May the best fish win on Friday!

The holidays are coming to an end and it's happening too fast for my liking. I want more hockey games, more tennis matches, more idling time, and more time to do the things that I'll hardly be able to find time for when the semester resumes. It's a little frightening whenever the thought of having to hand up my final year project topic in a month's time. Growing up is such a quick process, I want to tug it back to catch up. I'll probably have a blog entry to summarize how 2008 turned out for me. But you know me, I always procrastinate whenever it comes to blogging:)

2009-01-17T00:29:00.004+08:00

most people have the habit of posting happy, sad and angry thoughts and incidents on their blogs. everyone likes reading them, especially the sad and angry ones, as there are more things to think about and definitely plenty to gossip about. to me, sad and angry thoughts are hard to forget and writing them down will only make everything clearer and firmly locked amongst my memories. these things are best to be forgotten and i look forward to the day when they no longer exist amongst my memories. thou shall not write unpleasant events here, there's only room for the happy ones.

2008-11-24T22:13:00.002+08:00

2 down, 2 more to go! i think my level of discipline drops drastically every semester, it amazes me that there is still room for it to drop even further this semester. i've become a master of procrastinating during the exam period, let me share with you a list of things that are very interesting and addictive, only valid during exam period.
- read harry potter. seriously, you'll never get sick of it.
- read the newspapers. any reading materials are definitely more interesting than your notes.
- facebooking, and no thanks to jl, word challenge too
- watching movies being downloaded onto your computer, 1% at a time if you're really lucky.
- watching random videos on youtube. really random. to illustrate how random the videos can get, this is a video of Cher.

don't get me wrong, the song isn't nice or catchy at all. what caught my attention was her outfit. i wonder if its painful to wear thongs while hopping around the stage. even if it isn't painful, it must be extremely uncomfortable! imagine a permanent wedgie. my fingers will be itching to get it out. not cher's.

2008-11-08T12:33:00.002+08:00

i was exposed to jay chou's olympics song for the first during thurday's late night project session with lily, jiawei, cheryl and weichen. very nice! now it is playing repeatedly on my itunes. finally can catch my breath with most reports submitted, so on friday, weichen and i indulged in ikea's meatballs and fish & chips before shopping around town. town has changed sooooo much and my legs no longer have the stamina to last me the whole stretch, a sign that i've been cooped indoors for far too long.

2008-10-30T22:19:00.008+08:00

as promised, pictures from hello wind!

the pumpkins in my eyes (haha so cheesy i know!):

paula de vile... a pity i didn't take the purplish tights the devil was wearing, it was very pretty! and the horns glow too! sometimes flickering alternatedly, sometimes lighting up together, pattern arh!

the 21st century secret 7

played monopoly and risk. as usual, we started the game arguing, over who gets the horse/car/dog.. we also finally opened my $1.40 bottle of red wine from vietnam. in conclusion, don't ever buy a bottle of wine for $1.40. if it is that cheap, there's probably $1.40 worth of quality wine in there, diluted with water.

my japanese teacher today, wore an apron and took our orders while teaching us how to place orders from a menu.. a very cute sight, unfortunately handphone cameras weren't allowed. and speaking of handphones, i lost all my contacts because silly me traded in my phone without transfering my contacts. this is to answer the 633423434455 people who have asked me whether my phone is stolen.. haha

friday finally!

it seems that i can only pen down my thoughts when i experience extreme happiness/anger/disappointment, other than that, i suffer from writer's block most of the time. i would very much like to jot down how my birthday went and the other gatherings that have made life more fulfilling other than submitting reports and presentations... but time still does not permit me to do so, i have a time bomb ticking away, many reports and projects are still awaiting for me to attend to... so i shall save the pictures and nice memories for another day and just get over and done with my ranting..

i hate it when people lack of morals.. and i have to pay for being honest and responsible. dramatic irony but it happens ALL THE TIME! and it annoys me terribly when people say yes and don't turn up, and its very irritating when i'm being scolded for not caring and showing support when you were the one who wants to do it and push the responsibility to me.. all these suppressed anger, if i were 30 years older, i'd have probably die from a heart attack.

i really need a break from school, so hurray for fridays! and saturday will be spent at anthony's house celebrating halloween.. will share photos if everyone makes an effort to dress up! IMPERSONATING SOCCER PLAYERS ISN'T DRESSING UP! that was specially directed to bernard. hahahaha

2008-08-31T17:26:00.003+08:00

the past week has been really hectic, with everything evolving around birthday parties, birthday presents and JAPANESE! no time to shop at comex! i really wanted to become a little more IT-savvy because i have zero gadgets if you exclude a 2 years plus handphone and a 4 years old mp3 player that weiyan doesn't even know how to turn it off. but alas, no time!

my brother thinks he is a nothist, someone who specializes in nothing. haha!

ok i have nothing else interesting to report. even the above isn't interesting. hopefully next week there will be something! :)

a couple of interesting conversations...

p: i want to watch the beijing olympics opening! can we have dinner while watching tv?
b: you want to eat in the garden? you think ala carte dining arh?
p: did you mean al fresco?
b: *embarrassed look*

me: i'm looking for cuff links for a friend
e: *looks down at his calves* why do you need those for?
a: whats the difference between a wristlet and cufflinks?
me: *stares in disbelief*

the past 2 sunday mornings have been pretty good. the sun, the friends and hockey. no quarrels, no fightings because no food is present. the only argument we had was between ban mian and chicken rice after our game. sharon and andy wanted ban mian, pauline and bernard wanted chicken rice. zy and i were caught in the middle. in the end, chicken rice won and 9 people, 2 chickens = no fighting for food! a rare moment for the friday nightsters.

to end off...

since my last post, i've finished my internship, travelled to thailand and went for a couple of outings. thailand has been fun and i give xq, wc and tc credits for making it really enjoyable. i shall not blog about the entire trip because xiao qian has done a great job in noting down everything down to the nitty gritties on her blog, so go to her blog if you want to read more. just a couple of memorable events that deserves to be given extra attention to:

- my horrible manicure

i wanted a french manicure, but the range of nail polish were displayed in a red pail and i didn't see any OPI or recognisable brands. so i tried out the lightest pink i could possibly find and asked her to paint it french style. alas, the pink was too dark and the colour combination was absolutely horrid. so i decided to scrape the idea and just go with the pink to minimise further ugliness. i just regretted not spending the money on foot massage instead!!!

- thai massage

the massage was really good! far better than i expected, because we chose a massage place that looked quite impressive. i wanted another thai massage if it wasn't for my badly burnt shoulders :(

- sea sports

parasailing was a great experience although the duration of the ride fell short of expectations. probably because the man claimed that the boat will travel one big round, around the islands. and what we got instead was a small circle, barely leaving the 'safety' radius of the beach -_-

- tc's fall

tc had quite a hard fall and i was walking just behind her, far enough to see the full view of her ankle turning an awkward angle. but to my relief, she only got a couple of scratches on her knees. ok this isn't to laugh at her falling, but rather, the reason that led to her fall. xq was worried about a group of men sitting nearby, so she told tc to walk further towards the edge to avoid the men. and yeap, that caused her to fall! but what was more surprising was, one of the men from that group offered tc water to washed her wounds!!! so nice!

- bellboys who speak chinese

for those who are going thailand, please try not to communicate to your friends in chinese about tipping the bellboy in chinese. because we did that twice and were caught both times when the bellboys turned around and spoke to us in chinese!!! how embarrassing! haha

ok that's all for the trip, i'm really glad that tc and xq had an awesome sense of direction compared to wc and i. they were able to direct the taxi driver back to our hotel! and tc was a great da jie throughout the trip. thank you for taking good care of us! haha and weichen, thank you for tolerating all my nonsense!

on thursday, we had another pfm outing! this time we went to science centre and snow city.

weijuan became a musclewoman

see the resemblance?
how about this?

da tou wawa

okkkkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.. HAHAHA

it took 9 of us a terribly looonngg time to fit all 9 wooden pieces into this tiny little box. but we did it!

after tomorrow, i'll have officially 2 weeks left on my internship. wooo!!! there's someone hyperventilating here!!!! and 3 weeks to the long awaited BANGKOK trip!! this bangkok trip has caused me quite a fair bit of stress which was very unexpected and its still escalating. why the stress? because its the GREAT SINGAPORE SALE and i'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms due to the lack of shopping. whenever i see something worth buying, my fingers and wallet get terribly itchy and a voice in my head repeatedly chants "bangkok, bangkok, what if you can find something cheaper at bangkok?" this is bad, i think i'm having too high expectations on bangkok. not good.

anyways, remember i mentioned about my keyboard being spoilt? my mum very kindly brought adam (my laptop) to the repair shop for me because i'm working and the IT coop's opening hours very nicely coincides with my working hours. and so, to my embarrassment or rather my mum's embarrassment, adam was not faulty at all. it was just on num lock. no wonder some of the alphabets became numbers. luckily i wasn't the one who brought it to the computer shop. haha

many things have happened over the past few weeks, its rather difficult to write everything down because i have a goldfish memory, but i'll try.

first, it was the mc meeting a few saturdays back. i'll just upload a couple of pictures here and leave the rest for the de club blog (if not jun han will nag). oh, we celebrated jun han's birthday as well. we managed to buy jun han a cake and lure him to the open space at vivocity while he was with us the entire time. how did that happened? i think most of the credits should go to keith and the extra terrestrial. keith for being himself, being that jun han really believed him when he told jun han that he lost his way in vivocity while finding the toilet -_- and the extra terrestrial for being so clever to buy 3 boxes of durians and giving the excuse that those have to be eaten in the open.

jun han, extra terrestrial and keith being raped. although i think its more like they were caught showering naked. and why do guys always cover their chest when asked to act raped arh? haha as though they have something to protect over there :)

all the 3 pretty gu- niangs!

then we have bella's birthday party. i think i had one of the most horrible shirts to wear, although slightly better than the girls with arm pit hair drawn. hahaha.

f4 and shan cai. 'nuff said.

last saturday, i celebrated the birthday of one of my favourite person, tan ah beng. we took alot of silly and crazy photos. some of them made me feel like strangling genevieve shee. but seeing she looked 'not too bad' and that it was a joyous occasion, i shall leave the bloodshed for another day, haha

on one of the saturdays, i can't remember which, i joined a couple of the de club people to cheer at toa payoh stadium. i was totally prepared to cheer for singapore at the table tennis tournament. in the end, we had to cheer for an empty stadium because all they wanted was to record us cheering -_-

we were supposed to take a picture of our ugly faces.

felt that the first one wasn't ugly enough because only ernest was committed to looking ugly (hahahaha), so we took a second one.

the second ugly face pic. now, how has your facial expression changed, mr xu wen! justin eng even worse! really a replica lah!

ok i'm glad that other than the boring weekdays that are preoccupied with work, i have this group of fun people to hang out with. and i'm pretty sure we'll have more of these in future! :)

2008-06-18T23:12:00.003+08:00

a thousand apologies for the lack of updates! any of you whom i've talked to via msn lately would know that my blardy keyboard is out of order... that doesn't make blogging any easier... tskkk... but i shall blog alittle tonight to spare all the agony of seeing the same things repeatedy.

tomorrow i will be attending a risk management course. WSHA, RISK ASSESSMENT, I CONQUER THEE! ok who am i bluffing, those are sleep inducing topics! like how my eyes could barely remain open during michael chew's lecture. but i'm determined to pay my full attention tomorrow because at the end of the 2 days session, i've to sit for a test with all the project managers, i dont want to lau kui!

so my dear friends, if you havent busted your sms quota for the month or are feeling more talkative than usual, please feel free to msg me over the next two days. it can be an encouraging msg to keep me focused or a scolding msg to wake me up, whatever it may be, it'll all be appreciated and taken with alot of salt :)

hope all my uni mates are doing well!

2008-06-01T01:00:00.002+08:00

oooh this week has been pretty good so far, and i'm sure its only going to get better because tomorrow's eric's birthday party, where i'll finally get to see all my jc classmates!!! i missed them sooo much!!! and the great singapore sale is finally here!!! speaking of sales arh, i can't stand it when shops put a BIG BIG BIG sign that says STOREWIDE 70% DISCOUNT! and put a teeny weeny note next to it, "up to"... hello, so deceiving!

the week had a great start with a public holiday monday! i love public holidays, but there won't be anymore all the way till my internship ends! so i have been given plenty of administrative stuff to do, some don't really need to use my brain, some use my brain also cannot do (reading chinese newspaper articles).. but oh wells, i shall make the best out of the entire internship! now that i'm into my 2nd week, i think it isn't that bad lah, i was too quick to jump to conclusions, my bad. in the midst of all the admin work, i still get to go on the occasional site visits, follow the safety auditors around and watch how construction workers get interviewed, quite interesting! i've been wearing boots whenever i go for a site visit, until last night my leg cramped in the middle of the night! HOW COME!?!?

spent saturday with tan ah beng. very fun!!! us, being lazy as usual, decided to go tcc for a drink. friends who know me well enough know that i don't drink coffee at all, so when i saw a "nutello" on the menu, i kinda expected it to be a chocolaty cold drink. but the picture of the drink looked pretty small. ah beng assured me that since its a cold drink, it should be like the normal size. and it was totally the opposite

picture similar to the one shown on the menu

final product. So disappointing

and today, my boss saw that i was getting quite restless in the library so he brought me out to myanmar embassy. so i helped to carry medicine to donate to the cyclone victims through the myanmar embassy, what an eye opener! the building is rather old but it sends off good vibes. i like how some of the countries like myanmar, vietnam, thailand use wood for their floorings. anyways, the highlight of the entire trip was, i shook hands with the ambassador!!! muahaha. ok its doesn't seem like a big deal, but the way the room was decorated and the furniture was arranged, it really seemed like those ministers talk you see on television.

the ambassador was telling us how everything was blown out of proportion.. alot of foreigners, mainly ang mohs, said that they were giving enough aid to the people and not letting them help the burmese... but he said that the president flew around the areas affected by the cyclone on a helicopter because the cyclone had destroyed the roads and all means of communication. (ok this is what i think i heard, it wasn't very easy trying to understand what he was saying) and that the foreigners do not understand the country's terrain and geographical aspects. made quite a lot of sense to me, then i realised that we do not know the true story, all the while most of us have the impression that myanmar's government isn't doing enough because we have read negative reports on the internet, reports written by foreigners! of course there is a high possibility of biasness.

then my colleague told me that the foreigners wanted to give myanmar aid and inexchange, allow reporters into their country, like there must be some benefits for them lah. hmmm then that isn't helping them sincerely already, isn't it? politics is such a confusing thing!

oooh and i just found out that the hockey girls and guys got into the finals, which was played today! although both teams lost and got 2nd place, i'm very happy for them!!! hurray!

tuesday met up with ah teo and got scolded for giving a "te-face".. haha that phrase is so funny and surprisingly catchy! stop giving me that "te-face" arh! and we met nigel at island cremery!

for nigel's fans.. hurhurhur

2008-05-15T22:43:00.004+08:00

during my blogging hiatus, i tried to study for 5 exams, sat for 5 papers, didn't feel good for at least 4 of them, chilled out at mount faber aka fort canning! (haha private joke) had a hot and humid lunch at holland food court followed by a romantic session at essential brews with 5 great companions, said goodbyes to the lovely vice-cap, attended 2 twenty-firsts, started my first day of my 9 weeks internship, read countless of stuff on CONQUAS and summarized a billion newspaper articles. now, where do i start from?

first, i came online today and saw this!

yarn: recently i got to know a guy and i only know him for a week but there's just sth about him.. it felt like i knew him forever. like i could predict what he'll do and all his behaviors like i Really know him when in fact i dont know much about him
yarn: yesterday i realised why.

yarn: he is yuanshen.
yarn: not IS yuanshen. but he's EXACTLY like yuanshen
yarn: my friends and i call that guy manwhore/socialslut. cos he's like ys like that.. if he enters a room full of people he doesnt know, he'll know them all in half an hr.

phew.. i thought she was starting to like yuanshen.. until the word manwhore/socialslut appeared, i heaved a sign of relief.

they couldn't stand waiting for paula, so they sat down along the roadside. ah peks! and i really think shen's shoes look like alligators. secretly felt like stepping on them the entire day.

at essential brews, things got a little too comfortable :S

sharon, paula, shen, ming :)

U-G-L-Y! zoom in on his lips for a closer look at those ultra thick and filled with saliva lips. haha

erm. ok they were supposed to look raped. paula's was an award winning expression. but shen's was.... he seems to enjoy being raped.

sharon turned off all the colours in my cam, except for green. i kinda like the effect!bye paula! see you again in 3 months time!! you'll be sorely missed!

after not working for a wonderful long period of time, my internship started on monday. oh the misery of waking up at 7am daily.. and the hours spent in the office. not nice! but my colleagues have been pretty ok so far, let's hope the job becomes more interesting soon!!

and beiying! since you said my blog is very popular, i'll help you to promote your online shop. just for you! who asked you to be so honest, honesty has its rewards.. hahahaha http://closetsplendor.livejournal.com/

yayys! the weekends are just around the corner!

anyhoos, my dear friends out there, if you happen to be around queensway shopping centre or alexandra village area during afternoons between 12-1, jio me out for lunch!

2008-04-18T21:41:00.002+08:00

once in a blue moon, i'll stand in the kitchen overlooking the microwave, or the light switch, or the door knobs in the house, recalling how i used to jump to reach these things or how they seemed so out of reach. it really gives me a reality check of how time has really fly and that we are more empowered to do the things that we wish for. or maybe its just me getting taller. haha. nah thats nonsense, my height has been stagnant since sec 4.

my computer at home goes into a photo slideshow when it is left untouched for a couple of minutes, in other words, my screen saver. the slideshow has pictures of my friends and i, my brother and his friends and very little of my family. i just realise that i take very little photos with my family, and ironically they are the ones i treasure most in my life. i shall take more pictures with them :) one day, my mum asked me, "when you look at these photos, do you feel sad?" she then proceeded on to describe how i used to run towards her whenever she picked me up from school and how my brother will run away instead.. HAHAHA. guys.. tsktsk.. though she tried to sound nonchalent about it, i could sense that she missed those moments.

as time passes everyday, i find myself desperately trying to catch hold of memories, reminiscing and hoping that we could re-live those moments again. as a result, not enjoying the present and and end up repeating the cycle 1 or 2 years down the road. i have decided to enjoy NOW and just remember those glorious days :) besides, the friends are still here, what's there to miss? and they will never fail to remind me of all the horrible and blackmail-worthy details, so sweet... haha

anyway, i haven't updated about PSD because i read soooo many blog entries about it until i have nothing left to add. haha even a picture entry is quite pointless seeing so many of them have been posted.. haha so i guess i'll just stick to reading all the pretty smelly doll's archives :) but i'm just glad that everything turned out well, the place was good, the company was better. before the dinner i was quite worried that we would not find a suitable place to eat, then i'll feel guilty making everyone travel to rail mall, but that worry was uncalled for! because they eat anything and everything! haha.. ok lah, some of them only, guilty ones i don't think i need to mention your names.. haha

2008-04-10T21:12:00.002+08:00

today my brother came home telling me that his pw results will be out tomorrow. i wonder if he's anxious about it. for me, pw results was one of few results that i actually look forward to receiving. how time flies, it has been 3 years since i last got back my pw results!!! crazyyy!!! so long ago but it seems like just yesterday!! up till today, eric is still telling me TGPWOL! haha... i really really really really miss pw, project work is never the same in uni as compared to jc. in jc we were able to focus on just one project and really worked on it as a group. and i had such a wonderful team to work with (eric, yizhi, ant, yulan)! no matter how many times eric exclaim TGPWOL i still believe he really enjoyed the entire process... haha

how can today not be a good day when... i didn't have to wait for my buses... i managed to dodge the rain just in the nick of time... i saw cita!!!! (ok lah, i'm not that happy seeing cita, i'm happier that i didn't have to wait for my buses)... i got microsoft 2007 all thanks to weijuan!... and i started watching jap dramas (yes it's really not the right time to watch, but at least i'm not addicted to viwawa!) haha... all these jap guys really look quite normal even though they have really funky and explosive hairstyles

and i'm also pretty excited over our psd tomorrow... pretty smelly dolls... haha no lah, its pfm semesterly dinner. although some of them are pretty smelly.. haha just kidding! i'll blog about it after dinner tomorrow, so if you want to catch 10 mei nus tomorrow, head down to rail mall! haha

2008-04-05T10:29:00.004+08:00

yesterday was differently similar. what an oxymoron yet i can't think of any other way to pen down my thoughts :) but it was in a positive way! almost everything was similar to every other day, going for lessons, sitting through 6 hours of lectures, those were boring, but i guess the little bit of changes yesterday made the routine different.

went for material tech lecture and for the first time, i think i had a full 10 minutes talk with wei juan over anything but studies, except erm maybe over school fees? haha, but i liked out of the blue conversations like these, and it was quite nice talking to her. talking about monetary issues, a little about her family and work, made me admire a spirit and her attitude. don't see her as someone who always eat only arh, she also thinks alot ok! hahaha

after that, weichen and i went off to meet jiaming, at where? at the IT coop. haha because i wanted to check out the prices of several items. went to the coop with such high expectations but to my dismay everything that i was looking for were so expensive! ok, thats not the highlight of the meet-up, haha let's talk about jiaming instead. his hair grows at an outrageous speed! now he's like a character out of a comic book, and coupled with his slitty eyes, he makes a good villian. hahaha

headed down to vivocity after lessons to meet auntie tan, and my expected quiet and probably sleeping bus ride down wasn't meant to be when i met another auntie on my way up together with 2 of my uni friends. another impromptu conversation! i like :) its so nice to see them so comfortable with each other, teasing and jacking each other all the way from school up till harbourfront. i think when friends can finally tease each other relentlessly like that, that's when you know that the friendship can last for a very long time.

ok now for the main event of the day, outing with tan beiying, aka auntie tan! although i didn't mention about her weak hands yesterday, but there were a couple of times her hands just went limp while trying to hit me. haha and she's so quick to anger! always chasing me away then calling me back.. hmmph *chants: why you so lidat why you so lidat* haha but yesterday made me realise how much i miss hanging out with my favourite beiying beiying beying, ah beng :)

2008-03-30T12:56:00.003+08:00

finally, with two babies finally born and another one in the midst of delivery, mummy can finally take a short break. although another one is still being made, buttttt, its better than holding 4 in the womb at the same time... hahaha.

caught step up 2 with seohoon on wednesday, as a mini celebration that finally con tech is over. the show... hmmm... i like! although i think the extras might be able to dance better than the male lead, but he made up for it with his looks lah.. haha! see! good-looking people can always get away with anything... that's because there are people like me letting them get away with it. haha kidding. wanted to go shopping after that but both of us were wearing blister-causing shoes, so we went right home after that. oh did i mention that i bought another pair of shoes again? jia lut.. haha, in case you don't know, my mum does not like me buying new shoes because of the lack of space on the shoe rack, so she practices the buy one throw one policy. but so far so good, i don't have to throw away any pairs yet, because she's more focused on asking me to throw away my bags!!! :(

oh and i didn't update on the run i had with ming and paula the other day. i thought the agreed distance to run was 2.3km! but it turned out to be 4.6! i was seeing stars at the end of it! ok that was exaggerating, but my vision was rather floaty. but it was quite fun lah, the supper part that is. the running part was made easier with the company, despite ming meandering around us while paula and i were running, so pesky! haha... we started talking about what we would do if mas selamat suddenly appears to the very frequent shoutings, I'LL THROW AWAY YOUR CAR KEYS! no wonder ming wants to organise another run :)

I'm feeling pretty cheerful today, even in the presence of gloomy weather conditions :) a happy sunday to you my friends!

2008-03-20T18:55:00.003+08:00

pauline is damn evil, there was simply no room for negotiation!

over the phone...
p: eh huifang let's go for a run with ming at 10pm
me: what! 10pm?!?! i don't wannnnttttttt
p: there's no school tomorrow! you have no excuses not to run!
me: who runs at 10pm!?!?!
p: ok lah i give you a discount, 9pm! (in my head i was thinking how was that a discount!)
me: huh i got projects to do!
p: huifang... you're supposed to be the one motivating me! you don't want to be in the fbb club right (i'm not stupid, i did not get my abbreviations wrong)
me: get weiyan to come, i'll go if she goes
p: then we won't end up running already, we'll go straight to geylang for supper
me: hahahaha... ok we'll run

weiyan! where are you when i need you!!!

2008-03-16T12:21:00.020+08:00

being busy the entire saturday felt really good. maybe because none of the activities involves studying and doing assignments. haha. had to report to school at 730am! siao the last time i went to school this early was back in jc. nevermind, it was a fun day despite repeating myself over and over again. everytime i hear the same question, can you tell me more about your course? i'll brace myself for another round of explaining to do. but the job was really quite interesting because you get to interact with people and i worked with real jolly people the entire day :) towards the end of the open house, everyone started feeling so lethargic and tired, so we ended up taking photos!

Look at carol crawling into every photo. haha

The people who came at 730am in the morning

Li jing and xinyi arriving. haha actually i told them to go back out of the audi and come back in to let me take a photo and they really did so :)

Everyone having fun with the billboards (ernest is looking intently into the billboard's laptop)

Trying to imitate F4, everyone failed, except ck

pfm guys

Two very happy people. Its a facade i tell you!

See how xinyi shot dagger stares at me despite her smiling. that's the genuine side of her. haha just kidding, both of them have made me laugh quite a bit yesterday, even though one of them was very very lame. haha

all caught slacking on the job! and waikei is the no 1 slacker

the expression on john's face is so funny! haha

after that, met up with the friday nightsters for steamboat. before that we had a mini-competition to see which group can get to the restaurant first. initially there were 7 of us at bugis st waiting for the rest, shen, rab, zy, ber, andy, sharon and i. and 4 of them said, "let's go look at the map to find our way there," so andy sharon and i waited for them. only to call them later and find out that they had slyly abandoned us! the game was on man! plus paula the beacon of light joined us, we worked towards getting to the place first. to the extent of crossing roads purposely, hoping to divert their attention. haha thinking of it now, so silly.

sorry not many pictures of us actually eating food because it was too risky to take photos, you never know when your food will get stolen. beef was flying all over the steamboat, chopsticks clashing, soup spilling, it was chaotic! after a while everyone stopped eating, not because we were too full, but because we were exhausted!

at the mrt: the oriental version of backstreet boys

picture on their upcoming cd album... (we're-very-serious-about-our-music-kind-of-look)

picture at the back of their upcoming album (we still do actually have fun in the process of making our album)

sharon, our official egg cracker of the day. thank you for braving though all the bloodly beef juice and cracking the eggs for us

the deranged woman

lao da and ta de nan ren

spot the geisha

after dinner we went down to candele at raffles city for desserts where we ordered all the cakes on display, spent a total of $90+ on it and FINISHED ALL OF IT IN 10 MINS! ok except for 1 of them. but yeah now you know how everyone rushed through the desserts just so each can get its rightful share. there was no time to taste and savour the cakes at all. haha. and you know how usually when you share food with people and when it tastes nice you'll go "hey this is quite nice, try some". that didn't happen for us, instead it was "hey this is very nice, it shall stay at our table." ...

tracy and weiyan

All the cakes!

zy: this cake tastes just like how it looks!

ming: this cake looks like shit!

you can guess which cake we didn't finish, and this was the only cake we were willing to share

beatle and sharon :)

group picture without andy

group picture and andy with the cramps. tracy's face simply glows in every single picture!

sharon!

for something more current,

sharon's birthday party was some sort of a nice gathering, where i finally met up with most of the nightsters. played 8 level pig and however stupid that game sounds, it was extremely fun! shen is right, its the people whom you play with that determines the 'fun-ness' :)

shopping yesterday with beiying was great despite the big hole in the pocket... i like seeing her getting all auntish and swinging her weak hands and legs around. haha and how she wanted to kill me for pulling her how of num..

today weichen had her driving test.. and she passed! i'm thrilled for her :) no more visits to bbdc!!

2008-02-29T21:42:00.012+08:00

ok this post was written very long ago, some time in december. but blogger chose not to process my photos then so i waited so long before deciding to give it another shot. so pretend that its still december while reading! :)

before my trip to vietnam, the nightsters gathered at sunset way for dinner and drinks. food was good, company couldn't be better. through conversations, we revealed our mistrust in each other when it comes to money. after soooo many years together and we still question each other whether will money paid be returned?!?! haha everyone was reluctant to pay for ming first when he went to pick tracy up and everyone tried to save alittle liquor for shen so that he can contribute to the bill, but it backfired seeing that he happily kept the change instead of forking out anything!

updates on vietnam have been procrastinated until today, and i think i better jot it down before i forget most of the details if i had not done so already. went there only knowing emily and made 26 new friends at the end of the trip. the people definitely made the trip alot nicer and enjoyable. i liked the experience there and miss everyone alot! but the trip made me more thankful for our clean air and toilets! some of the toilets were really dreadful!

first day was spent at ho chi minh city. the streets were filled with motorcycles and more motorcycles and with no one obeying traffic rules, it was a real challenge to cross the roads. we went to cu chi tunnel where we had to crawl through to experience what the soldiers went through during the vietnam war. it was terrible! initally, after the tunnel, i was dreading what else would come next because my legs were aching terribly! it was a relief that the remaining 6 days were much more enjoyable than the first.

Tourguide and the small dingy tunnel

the neverending passageway. dont be deceive by how high it looks, it is actually very tiny and squeezy inside

after the tunnel we went had lunch at this floating platform. the currents of the river were very strong, seeing how all the weeds moved very quickly along the river. after that we went to some of the tourist attractions and a cafe shop (where they only serve coffee or desserts, no proper food) and the night market.

lunch at this floating platform. the weeds were floating pass pretty quickly

the upper end market

coffee! considering i'm a non-coffee drinker, i'll say its really good!

on the second day, we went to tien giang province by a boat where we tried some of their local fruits, look at their snake wine, enjoy a sampan (i don't know what are their boats called) ride down a river, learnt fishing before going to a snake farm which wasn't very interesting. and then we spent the night in the bus which brought us to our next place, dalat city!

snake wine! some even have scorpions inside!

sampan. it was a fun ride down the river, and we were told to keep our hands in because there might be crocodiles. really wanted to spot one actually.

dalat was my favourite place in vietnam, mainly because the weather was cooling which i really liked! but not when i'm taking a shower because our heater is faulty. just 2 days after crawling in the tunnels, we had to hike up langbian mountain which was 2000m or so i heard. it was very tiring but the weather made it endurable. after our climb, some of us treated ourselves to ice-cream. less than 10 cents a stick! then we went to the love valley. everyone went there with high expectations that it would be romantic but it turned out to be something like a flora garden. but still, it was enjoyable because we knew each other well enough already to take senseless pictures :) after that we went to a waterfall where we took a ride, something like the luge at sentosa. we also sightsee the palace and went shopping at dalat central market where everything was damp because it was very cold there.

langbiang mountain at dalat.

the view from the top of lang biang mountain

emily's chui look after climbing the mountain.. hahaha

dalat at night. taken with soo yeon, there's a smaller eiffel tower behind. i love this city at night

our hotel in langbiang. these are my roomies

after which it was time for cycling around the lake. i was so nervous but i'm glad i had a good partner who had plenty of experience cycling, except that his slippers would fall off occassionally while cycling which made me panic silently.

on the fourth day, we went for a boat trip again and visited the aquariam which is not really impressive. the mudbath and mineral bath were good too.

we travelled to hoi an on the fifth day to attend a traditional party at one of the vietnamese's house, it's really interesting to see how the people really live. finally we had more time for shopping at night and it was really good! everything was very cheap but you still have to bargain because you can get it even cheaper!

the sixth day was spent visiting a temple and a stone craft village, after that we settled down in the bus and had a long journey back to ho chi minh city airport. ok that concludes the trip! i'm not a good writer so my experiences will most probably seem boring to you, but it wasn't!

some random photos of vietnam...

anna and ryan with 2 vietnamese children! so cute, like a happy family.

duck foetus

christmas eve was spent at weichen's house with good food! i'll let pictures do the talking lah. overall, we had a great time, lots of laughs at project work and all. merry xmas everybody!

alvin really loves the camera...

look at what they are doing while weichen and i prepared the dishes! tsktsktsk

the steamboat!

they always take our candid shots! grrrr

and we never learn

group shot!

the guys cleaning up :)

finally i've submitted my literature review, but my momentum for writing hasn't stopped! haha so here i am relieving my readers from constantly seeing 6th dec on their screens (ahem.. tsz ching). i've been wanting to blog about my vietnam trip, my christmas and new year's celebration, about school, about projects, about all the eventful birthday parties and outings to keep them as a memory, BUT i've been too lazy! i'll do it by this mid sem break... i hope... but first to share some exciting news, i'll be going bangkok with 3 crazy women in july! yayyy! really looking forward to it :)

yesterday i went down to school to support the netball girls but to my dismay the match was a walkover because law had not enough players! tskkkk...

anyways, on my way to school, the bus passed by an accident site and there was an old woman lying motionless on the road. first time i see something like that... i guess you really don't know how to react to that kind of scene, i was just hoping that she fainted from shock and probably the car didn't knock her down in the first place. but there was an article in today's newspaper about the accident, and then i learnt that she died at the scene. what a terrible time for her family. i simply can't imagine seeing someone in the morning and only finding out that it will be the last time you'll be seeing the person after the person dies. i really felt sorry for her husband, who received a phone call from a concerned relative, because she was supposed to go to the relative's house but did not turn up, and when he went down to see, he saw a tent covering a body and her handbag near the road. the courage he took to cross the road to find out the truth must be tremendous.

ok i shall not continue. May her family get all the moral support they need to come to terms with her death.

it sucks having to study for the exams when everyone else has finished theirs.. looking at all the msn nicknames rejoicing the end of examinations, typically those "it's finally over!" or "i'm freeee!!", make it seem as though they are gloating at my misery, but don't be mistaken, i'm happy for them. ok... perhaps the explanation for being so edgy is because my exams have stretched on for 2 weeks! oh wells, i'll take comfort in knowing that the final paper is tomorrow! finally i can relax without feeling guilty, watch tv without having the clock chiding me silently and read my books without placing my notes next to me. tomorrow will come soon, and i shall not put the exclamations of freedom as my msn nick because there is no one to tell that too when it is assumed that everyone should have finished their exams already... on a happier note, i get to see the friday nightsters on saturday!!! wheee!!

2007-12-01T12:37:00.000+08:00

my long hiatus from blogging was probably due to the momentary lapse of interest and the question of why am i blogging was left unsolved. however, this morning i had the sudden impulse to start blogging again because i finally had an answer to my question. i blog not primarily for others to see, but rather an avenue for me to read and keep in touch with my past. and of course, keeping my friends updated, seeing that i have been cooping myself up in the house this semester, no thanks to the overwhelming workload and the dreadful exams, which will end soon (yayys!)

a few years down the road, i'm going to read on how i successfully procrastinate studying by doing alot of nonsense that seem so addictive now, but i know when the exams are over, i'll stop doing those activities, and when the exams are here again, they will again come back into my list of things to do. so frustrated with my lack of discipline and unability to focus!

ok, now for the list of things that i'll surely and certainly do during the exams period, exams period only!
- read the newspapers
yes, i read the newspapers, front to back. usually i'll only read the life section
- play solitaire or minesweeper on computer
its such a mundane and boring game! but somehow it becomes extremely addictive during the exams
- organising my music files
- re-read my books

ok enough about exams, i got my driving licence finally! hurrays! though it looks quite o-biang, but nevermind, i got my licence!!!

tskkkk... ok back to scopes...

2007-09-16T16:40:00.000+08:00

all the upcoming presentations and test are suffocating me! but i have to blog about all these little details before i forget :)

yesterday, the nightsters celebrated my birthday... had a chauffeur and a multi-national (one with a italian, french, malay accent) tour guide to bring me to cold storage to get baking materials for my cake! yes, paula ming ys and i were all noobs and so we didn't dare to call yarn along fearing that she'll scold us throughout the whole baking process. and so we shopped away!

someone: erm.. what's buttermilk? (as stated on the recipe)

yuanshen: maybe its butter and milk

yuanshen: eh!!! we were supposed to get vanilla essence! what's this! rose essence!

ming: i thought transparent liquid meant vanilla essence...

at yuanshen's house, we unloaded the stuff and began baking. everything went quite smoothly, better then what we expected, but the end product, just left us speechless.

ming hard at work pouring the cocoa powder while paula keeping an eye at the scale.

paula knocked the bottle of vanilla essence onto the paper towels. haha

the cake baking in the oven.. looks like a volcanic eruption, and we're not sre why the cake has sooo many white looking spots on it. the pan looks messy because the 'bowl' was leaking :S

two of my dearest friends, paula and ys

the cake! no pictures were taken after we put the icing and after cutting the cake. but to put it plainly, the cake tasted like dough, and you can literally smell flour when you put it in your mouth. hahaha.. but it was a swell attempt! definitely aint our last try!

after that we decided to ta pow dinner from a hawker centre nearby and have the rest of the people meet us back at yuanshen's place. but before we left, we saw a bicycle and they insisted that i learn how to ride. very scary! poor ming ran around the estate barefooted because i took off before he could wear his slippers... haha

found out that ys has a pick-up! and so tracy paula and i sat at the back where you usually put your goods and the guys were in front driving. along the way we picked up 'random' people like yarn, sharon and lawrence and all of us ended up at the back of pick up. we ate at rocky's pizza where we did alot of silly things. all of us tucked the napkin at our collars, like bibs rather, under weiyan's insistence. after that, under ming's suggestion, whoever eats the chicken wings the cleanest gets to pay a dollar less, we had a mini competition. actually it was between ming and paula only, the rest of us werent the least bit close to winning. ming won finally after biting off the bone.

at the pizza place..

went back to ys's house for mahjong and the cake which everyone was willing to take only a bite of and here's some photos!

crazy people, look at all of our mixed reactions!

yarn is too weird for us.

and so, she joins the guys instead

sexy poses, lawrence looks like he's sleeping though. only yuanshen really followed the SUCK IT IN! PUFF IT OUT! HIDE YOUR FAT ARMS! rule... haha

my weirdest, funniest and greatest friends :)

thursday, my nus friends celebrated my birthday. even though everyone was so held up with work and were feeling very tired, they still made time to celebrate, so.. thank you thank you!!

pictures are more interesting than words lah...

my two khakis in school

my class guys have been trying to arrange a class chalet this dec, look at the survey that they have put up..

hurhurhur... and because the bottom was cut off, the last option for the 3rd question was, i hope some macho guys will pay for me (fat hope!)

2007-09-09T21:01:00.000+08:00

friends, you can only depend on that much.

family, unsaid concerns, total reliance.

it has been a busy week despite it being an even week. with one presentation down and many more to come, things will only get worse.

celebrated weichen's birthday last sunday with some of the guys. brought my big bulky camera out and only remembered to use it very much later, thus, the pathetic number of pictures. after lunch we were wandering around and ended up in a boutique, the island i think. can't really remember. and so we (both the girls and guys) decided that it might be fun doing a little dressing up.. all were willing parties.

before the transformation.

after....

aaron's "it's too tight!" clothes. haha

alvin proudly displaying all the tags to prove that all items are still available on the racks.

jiaming: "the pants damn gay lah!"

of course we did not buy anything from there, all prices were way beyond our means.

tuesday we had a gathering with some of the ursa people, at suntec. ate at a japanese

restaurant there and was drifting away when i heard some muffled voice outside at the fountain of wealth area. later, i found out that waikei dedicated a birthday message for weichen and i.. very nice.. and just as i was in awe over the message, a birthday cake popped out infront of us. great ice-cream cake, great company, a great time.

thanks to mei hong for the photos!

2007-08-26T14:44:00.000+08:00

the workload in school has been increasing, less playtime, more drifting time and more or less the same amount of work time. went out with the family to have some peranakan food at thomson area, it was goooood and cheap!

attempted to celebrate ming's birthday(surprise) yesterday. we were supposed to be there at 1230 and wait for tracy to bring to unsuspecting birthday boy over at 1, but they came only around 3, so meanwhile we had lunch at a japanese restaurant first.

paula and monica, mon being retarded as usual. i don't know what's with all her facial expressions when taking photographs. haha

the bowls for soup had a really large round top, where you can sleep on it.

and so while we were at the restaurant, ming and tracy walked passed us totally not realising we were inside watching them even though the glass panels were transparent. so we surprised ming at island cremery.

happy birthday ming!

after that, 4 of us went to watch hairspray! because we went in late, the theatre was in total darkness and we had difficulty finding our seats. mon and i shared what we thought were couple seats because there was no armrest and anthony and andy shared another couple seats because they had no armrest either. it was only after the show did we realise that there were armrests except that they were lifted up -_-... and initially anthony rested his arm on andy's thighs thinking that it was an armrest. hahaha! anyways, hairspray is really an awesome show! very very good. john travolta was hilarious and all the actors and actresses suit their various roles very well.

had thai express for dinner before going to watch grease under the stars at national museum. although half of the time it was drizzling, the experience was still good. people brought cooler boxes with cans of beer inside and picnic baskets. and again, john travolta acted in grease, damn cool :)

2007-08-21T10:02:00.000+08:00

school has started! most of the bidding and balloting have been done, just a minor mess to clear up i hope. school has been much more fun than i had expected, starting with rag and flag day, one of the rare times i really felt the sde spirit, everyone screaming their lungs out and cheering for the entire faculty. having participated in o week and foc really helped me to get to know people more i guess, making school a more comfortable environment.

watched jay chou's show with bella and beiying a couple of days ago. not a bad show to catch though a tad unrealistic. bella and beiying were trying to guess the plot the entire time while i just ate popcorns. hopefully we'll be able to plan a free time every week!

yesterday's conversation with weichen:
me: eh are you thinking of getting a pair of havainas? i want to go look at some designs later ok?
wc: hmmmm ok.... is that my birthday present?
me: shit! that was meant to be a surprise! i tried to be as subtle as possible!
wc: hahaha.. i wanted to get that for your bday too..

haha freaky how we always think of the same things..

friday after lessons, went gymming with some of my fac mates to justify our dinner. we had sakura for dinner and played bridge after that. lots of good food, great companions and laughters to share.

2007-07-18T21:54:00.000+08:00

tennis last saturday was fun yet embarrassing.. i need to get some proper training.. QUICK! and sad to say, after the game, i lost every single one of my brand new dunlop balls and got used wilson balls instead :( after tennis i rushed down to hilton for sde's DND. the seniors paid 20 bucks for sharks fin, scallop, cold dish, and many many more! this is the first dnd i've seen where the more people you have, the higher your losses are. it was very busy the entire night and i had to repeat myself over and over again at the reception table, walk around in killer heels, and share with seo hoon a packet of chicken rice.. sounds pathetic but i had good fun :) its nice to see everyone dressing up and some nice people gave us food from their tables...

watched high definition harry potter yesterday. what's the difference between high definition and normal? beiying and i couldnt figure out at all. had plenty of good buys and had a really enjoyable time with her. more to come!

2007-07-14T00:32:00.000+08:00

some extremely cute and funny videos!

2007-07-09T21:38:00.000+08:00

i'm finally back from everything! now i better jot it all down before i forget all the nitty gritty details...left for camerons on sunday night in a coach. we had movies and video games on the coach! was feeling kinda anxious since it was my first time taking a coach to malaysia.

beiying and bella on the coach

at cameron, we went to vegetable plantations, tea plantations, cactus farm, strawberry farm, butterfly farm... all were really good.. the most memorable was the mossy forest. its called the mossy forest because there's a lot of moss inside, and we went trekking in the mossy forest. i'm not cut out for trekking...

the place was great, with the cool 18degrees c weather and nice scenary. we all enjoyed being countrygirls for 3 days before going off to industrialized genting. pictures below...

our first plate of wanton mee at cameron, it was 6 in the morning and we were cold and hungry...
look at how misty it was! my hands shook while taking which explains the blurness

another picture to illustrate how misty it was.

the view from our hotel room

we took the public transport back! only 1rm per person! we took it because we unintentionally tried hailing for a cab at the busstop. the busstops there have no signs or any signals to show that it is a stop, i wonder how the locals are aware of where to alight.

at a vegetable farm

in a corn field

at a vegetable plantation

at the strawberry park where we plucked and ate strawberries while beiying relieved her childhood..haha

went to the cactus farm and it was full of weird cactus-es

had steamboat on both of our nights at cameron, its the best food to suit the cool weather

tea plantation

can you spot the stick insect in this pic?

we went to the butterfly farm. the reason why there isn't any pictures of butterflies because all the butterflies are found in a trail where you can walk into, and are all free to fly around. we were too busy dodging the butterflies and running through the trail to take any photos. these insects that were held in captive seem to be much more harmless instead :)

the service industry in malaysia is super poor, the people are rude and highly irritable... tsktsk we met a really terrible bus driver who drove us from cam to gen, he was muttering tamil to his partner all the while and beiying was really afraid they'll kidnap us to somewhere

pictures of genting! i took too many pics at cameron and had little space left for genting, so the rest of the pics are with wc and beng..

while waiting for our turn for the motion stimulator.

oscar!

i took this ride! i'm never going to take it again. seriously

the best photo to sum up our entire experience :) i had lots of fun with all of them!! haha take a closer look at beiying's face.. so distorted! hahaha

after coming back from the trip, i went for the freshman camp. it was lots of fun, which i will not elaborate much because i have zero pictures of the entire experience. it was a camp that was very hot, dirty, smelly and sticky. but in the midst of everything, we made friends and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

2007-07-01T13:13:00.000+08:00

came back from the trip two nights ago, its has been a fun 5D4N trip to cameron and genting with beiying, bella and wc. but i'm off to the freshman camp soon, so i'll post updates with pictures upon my return :) meet up soon my friends while its still the holidays!

2007-06-09T21:03:00.000+08:00

this week has been pretty eventful

monday

went to catch pirates with my brother and dad, before that we had macs for lunch, a cosy afternoon and reliving the whole 'wo yao chi han bao bao' childhood days. the show was rather boring at the beginning but when the star *johnny depp* appeared, the whole show became much more exciting... however cheesy the wedding part seemed, it was still laughable

tuesday

caught shrek with weichen and aaron. i love snow white and her war-cry! haha... saw many unexpected faces, none are those who makes you feel like going up to say hi or give a hug to, rather they are those who you hope haven't seen you so that you can skip the hi-s and byes part. played basketball and some shooting game at the arcade and sucked at both..

wednesday

went gymming and swimming with bella at clementi central, great work-out and tanning, coupled with a cheap and full hawker fare. went ntuc to do my marketing for my picnic and bought many fruits and mats as well, only to be informed after paying its NO PLASTIC BAGS WEDNESDAY! tmd... this always happens to me, especially when i do alot of marketing! have to pay an unjustifiable 10 cents for a crummy plastic bag.. tskkk

thursday

soup-spooned with beiying and bella, saw crazy people queuing up for donuts (i don't and will never understand how a donut is worth queuing up hours for), shopped around aimlessly but in a good way.. enjoyed joking with the two of them and pushing clothes endlessly to beiying while she was in the fitting room... after which, celebrated jielin's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIELIN!!!) with monica and paula at fish and co. the manager came by and talked to us at the beginning of the meal..

manager: do you want us to sing birthday song for the birthday girl later?

me: erm no thanks, i think the birthday girl is a little shy

monica: YESYES! she wants you to sing

so in the end, all the staff sang birthday song for jielin, pretty heartwarming sight lah... i'm sure jielin enjoyed it with sparklers in her hands and a free ice-cream..haha love their rendition of the birthday song together with the WOOHA!

went to the arcade after that and we played basketball and photohunt. basketball was very fun, but paula and i lost terribly to mon and jielin. we played singles and let's just say paula and i are much better off playing together... haha.. EXCEPT! when paula becomes overexcited and threw the ball so high that it bounced off the fence and hit my head! and she didn't even know and carried on throwing the ball..

picture of the day:

friday:

went gymming with bella and bought lunch back for the brother and dad. worked like a maid after that (haha.. good training!), attended the renci carnival where they sold food. yes, since its renci, its all vegetarian, full of vegetables! yucks! returned home and started preparing my salad for tomorrow's picnic

saturday:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA!!!

the day started off bad when stupid ys, who was supposed to call me and paula to board the bus, did not call and instead went to botanic gardens without informing either of us, causing both of us to wait at home for his phone call. idiot man. i'm sorry i kup the phone on you ming, i meant to do it to ys! but still, the day turned out great. we had toooooo much food!

lawrence brought chips and ended up bringing the same amount home happily, ys brought corn which he pulled bit by bit from the entire corn itself *very silly if you ask me* and fried luncheon meat, ming brought beehoon which he forced everyone to finish it by refilling the bowls constantly, sharon brought jelly which tasted great!, paula brought sausage cocktail which ys complained it was nauseating to eat *personally i thought they were quite good*, yarn brought drinks, rabnick and ziyong brought nuggets and some kueh, and i brought my potato salad! we tried to finish the food by playing heart attack.. the game was fun but we still did not manage to finish the food. ys laughed while his mouth was stuffed full with sausages and ended up spitting all over paula's poor cocktail.. damn disgusting.. haha but overall, it was a great but extremely humid day!

2007-06-02T22:22:00.000+08:00

i really marvel those people who make their ordinary lives sound so extradinary through the use of words because then, whenever they read their entries, they would be able to re-live those moments. however, because my command of the language isn't so strong, i find it boring to read my own entries, which explains why lately i haven't been posting as often as i used to...

the past few days have been spent travelling to and fro home and bbdc, the occasional exercises (with even more mind-playing games against exercising) and shopping and dining with various people. yesterday we had another class gathering to celebrate alvin's, eric's and 'weehong's' birthday. but i got the dates wrong and it was only alvin's and eric's birthday. haha, how stupid. weichen went to buy the cake while i went to get the candles (relightable) and we had steamboat at marina south. while attempting to light the candles with a single candle in myhand, the wind became quite strong and the flame was quite large, thus melting the candle quickly and the candle was getting too short to hold painlessly..

weichen: quick quick blow it out!
me: okok!
*blow blow blow*
me: cannot blow out! shit what were we thinking!

and we spent moments just laughing at our foolishness, we forgot that the candles will light back by itself.. haha... i had lots of fun with the class, however its a little disappointing that the same few always do not turn up...there's no point voicing out my greviances out here because it wont help, neither will it change things.

i just had a pretty exciting night, my brother found this house of the dead 2 machine at boon lay area and we played till level 5, for just 50cents per game!!!

2007-05-17T23:06:00.000+08:00

updates!

had my stitches remove last friday, afterwhich went down to little india to meet the friday nightsters. had indian food, eyebrow threading *which was dammmmnnn painful compared to my usual painful threading session*, shopping at bugis = a splendid day :)

today was started off with morning run with bella, and then going out with beiying bella and gen. had a fulfilling meal at village, ordered so much, pay so little, had to be good. went to taka for some cash-grabbing at the osim fair, credits to lili! *thank you thank you! i enjoyed it* won an ibrush! wheeee! though its not very good lah, very noisy and not very effective... watched bridge to terabitha (i can't spell or pronounce that word) and went to arcade... i had a great time!

2007-05-06T23:28:00.000+08:00

went with monica, the terribly pampered girl whose boyfriend ferries to everywhere, and her edwin to sign up for driving lessons on thursday. in the car, i found out that monica's family has just bought a dog...

me: mon! what are you all planning to name the dog arh?
mon: my dad wants to call it da qiang (thief)!
me: what?!?
mon: my mum wants to call it qiang jian (rape)

no wonder monica is the way she is.. hahaha... what a queer family, poor dog...

went to the arcade with mon and edwin, played air hockey and i beat both of them single-handedly!!! muahahaha.. so proud of mahself!

friday was for wisdom teeth extraction, and so after the minor op, my mouth was all numb and swollen. usually i hardly see any familiar neighbours and so i needn't smile, but on friday, i just had to see so many neighbours and everyone was being so friendly and smiling away.. so i had to give away my crooked smiles.. haha.. so ugly!

2007-05-02T00:37:00.000+08:00

went for an unexpected trip to kbox today with the classmates because all the theatres were fully booked, be it spiderman or not spiderman. was exposed to soooo many new chinese songs! had a great time with everyone nice :)

tomorrow i'm going to sign up for driving.. WOOHOO!! let's see if a year from now, i'll be able to produce a license...

2007-04-29T20:53:00.001+08:00

woke up with a sore throat this morning, this is what a night of durians do to you.. went to geylang last night and had a feast. non-stop eating and WALKING... haha but the company was really good even though a couple of people were late for about 1.5hrs! but it's alright, alls forgotten with the treat :) exams are finally over and i'm having a fine time bumming around.

some people are just crazy. i had my econs exams on saturday, and later that night i checked my nus website for latest updates and such. and upon clicking 'what's new', i saw 8 new messages in econs forum. being curious, i went to the forum to take a look because what's there to type anymore in the forum? and i saw people posting messages to clarify their answers back in the exams and discussing solutions. what's the point?!?! no use crying over spilt milk or trying to justify your wrong answers. yes yes, some might argue that its good to continuously improve yourself and get to know the real solutions for self-improvement. hah but i just don't like the idea of knowing an estimate of my results before actually getting it back. i no longer predict my marks after entering jc, because, there's always only one outcome.

caught a glimpse of msu last night... i can only say some of them don't know what they see in the mirror.. hah.. don't come telling me that i can't judge them cause i'm not good enough myself, because they put themselves up on the platform to be critic.

on a happier note, half the torture is over! i'm thus feeling half satisfied now :) i'll be free after this coming friday! out out anyone???

2007-04-06T09:31:00.000+08:00

FINALLY! all the reports, presentations, term papers are overrrr! and with 2 weeks left, i must cram everything in, in time for the exams.. its getting crazy....

my ss presentation went well, its the sort of presentation when your classmates comment on your performance and grade it. one guy was being fussy by commenting.. i think you have too many redundant pictures, i think the colour isn't right, the slides are not consistent.. blah blah blah.. initially i took in his feedback with a hoping-to-improve further attitude, but after a while it was just one ear in the other ear out. hah but nevermind! we scored pretty well thanks to all the rest of the classmates!

last friday, went sakura with my coursemates, 6 girls, ate ALOT! our tables were constantly filled, and we sat there for about 3 hours, eating non-stop... oh before the dinner we went to exercise first, to justify or rather neutralise our dinner to come. haha..went to the gym, testosterone level was rocket high, everywhere you see bulging muscles and we were the only girls in there, so intimidating! we did our thing and quickly left the place.

ok nothing much to add, its all studies, studies, and more studies!

i want to makan with the friday nightsters!!!

2007-03-25T00:26:00.000+08:00

during a lecture yesterday, i caught myself drifting off to this particular day at padang, where danker gave us all a surprised by having fitness there. sharon and i paired up and we were supposed to piggyback each other across the field... haha.. i couldn't help but laugh out loud when i imagine the scene.. we were damn lousy! even weiyan and girika completed the task faster than us! we were laughing super badly and using evey ounce of our strength to lift our feet up... and i think its super obscene and ugly to do it infront of all the guys can! not to mention the human wheelbarrow thing.. horrible! hand-walked till we fell flat on the grass... but i cannot think of doing it with anyone else other than sharon... HAHA!

went for one of my uni friend's birthday celebration where everyone was treated to steamboat at marina... everyone except my table finished eating in 1.5 hours.. where got people eat steamboat for 1.5 hours only!?!!?? i want to eat with the nightsters, because its always comforting to see people eating more than me..hahaha

am overwhelmed with projects, reports, assignments, which explains the lack of updates and outings... i miss the friday nightsters very much! sharon's vday present is still with me larrrr... and i'm suffering from severe shopping withdrawal symptoms plus friday nightsters abscene symptoms... i know everyone's workload is terrible right now, after exams! let's meet!!

2007-03-15T00:58:00.000+08:00

it has been a long time since the last entry.. main highlights during my absence were class outing, watching seducing mr perfect (great show for the daydreamers), peejay og outing (only the girls got prettier), ys's commission parade (real eye opener and funny experience), school reports, essays, projects, tests...but being sooo busy makes me feel more accomplished :)

i got back my econs test.. 34/40.. the mean is 33.35... wth!

some videos that i watched for soci classes which i found extremely amusing..

enjoy!!

2007-02-20T00:33:00.000+08:00

wheewhee! had a nightsters outing on friday and it went swell even though jielin, monica and sharon weren't there :( it would have been better if they were.. but oh wells, its was good nonetheless... we went to this ramen restaurant which yarn recommended where you can choose the level of spicyness of your food.. all the guys, though didn't trust yarn when she suggested level 4, immediately agreed to level 4 when rabnick said its ok because, to quote yuanshen "rabnick is the guy who eats ketchup at macdonalds!" end results : sitting in front of a whole row of guys who were sweating and crying.. HAHA

only tracy and i enjoyed our level 1 dinner, andy was sweating buckets, louis was in agony, could tell that ziyong was mentally cursing yarn and rabnick, yuanshen tried to hold his manly pride together and ate in peace, and rabnick, being a man of very few words, just concentrated on his noodles with the frequent drinks and tearing.. yarn was terrific! to compare her with all the rest who ate level 4 noodles, she was the most glamorous of them all.. haha..

enjoyed a long 61 bus ride home after that.. passed by sajc where we think back on all the stupid and hilarious stuff we did on the bus and semi saluted the school.. i love sajc lahhhhhh... going back this thursday.. anyone interested???

2007-02-15T21:45:00.000+08:00

i just typed a looong post and blogger deleted it.. aargh.. so i'll just be more brief in this one because i'm tired of repeating..

last fri, i went shopping with beiying.. had a great time, great buys, great dinner, great talk, and a really great vday gift from her, everything was great! thank you very much!!!

oh before i get into the gloomier side of the story, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!! finally the event is over, i can heave a sigh of relief..

the past week has been full of angsty and frustrations, i've been betrayed, played out and taken for granted. i don't like it when people pity themselves so don't read it the wrong way, i do not sympathise myself.

and so the whinnings begin..
i ordered 3 sunflowers for myself, one of the sunflowers for someone's else flowers spoilt and so i was asked to sacrifice mine... so i had no choice but to give up the flower meant to surprise tracy on wednesday (sorry tracy :(((((( ) and then i'm left with 2, one for weichen and the other for a birthday girl..

on tuesday, at 1015pm, i was busy trimming and putting all the cotton and stuff for my 2 sunflowers, before leaving, i reminded my friends to bring it to school the next day for me. during lecture on wednesday, my sunflowers came, and my group member said she ordered 2 sunflowers and so she took it, so i did not even get to see my sunflowers. wth, so without questions asked, my flowers were taken! i was fuming mad. i mean, so what if you ordered 2 sunflowers, does that mean that the 2 in the room were definitely yours?!?!?! and so i ended up with nothing.. aargh, damn pissed... why must i always be the one at the losing end!!??!

even my friend, who ordered 3 single red roses from me, came to collect his order, my comm member asked whether he could take another colour rose instead because there weren't enough red roses.. i know it isn't my comm member's fault but even my friend has to sacrifice!?!?!?

at 5plus pm yesterday, i was told to go for delivery when i wasn't even supposed to do deliveries. i thought it was a short errand but i reached home at 11 plus. not that i dislike doing deliveries, it was quite fun and exciting, but i feel like i'm the person where everyone turns to to solve problems and that's all.

and if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, with all due respect, please do all your touching and whatever you want in a private area. dont do it at a place where everyone is looking.. its plain sick.

2007-02-09T08:56:00.000+08:00

the days have been too short lately, i simply can't find the time to complete all my long overdued assignments.. life has been tough lately.. i'm only thankful to a certain few for making it more bearable...

2007-02-09T08:55:00.000+08:00

do whatever you want, don't expect me to bother
say whatever you want, don't expect me to listen

2007-01-30T21:10:00.000+08:00

pictures!

finally you see andy's TEETH in a photo, only when its a candid shot!

ming the muffia

mon is just so adorable in this photo! haha... maybe because her mouth is finally close.. hahaha

the girls!

anyhoos, valentine's day is coming up, my apologies to my friends who i've been unable to meet up with, here's the reason for my abscence: http://sdevalentine07.co.nr/

you know what to do yah? *nudge nudge*

2007-01-29T00:17:00.000+08:00

the week has gone by in a flash without me realising it. readings, projects, tutorials are all piling up :( mondays to fridays are typical schooling days, where there's the vicious cycle of work given to you and you having to rush through them to meet deadlines... for me, the deadlines just can't be met...

friday was impromptu shopping day! bought clothes and played arcade and a great photo-taking session. saturday was busier, spent the entire morning and afternoon doing vday stuff like wrapping goodie bags and flowers, went back home to shower and then went to meet the friday nightsters plus a couple of others at holland village settlers. the table near ours was occupied by noisy screaming girls, not that i can blame them or criticise them because i was once in their shoes and it was cool to have a gang to scream and shout with, without caring what others think about you and you'll think tt people are envious of having a tightly knitted group of friends.. haha... and so if you cant beat them, you join them! we tried to top their shoutings and screamings which thankfully died down after a while.

played an amazing game of taboo, and i think the funniest player award goes to anthony.. he's so darn amusing! had a great time catching up and seeing how everyone's hair seems slightly longer since the last time (not that its has been sucha long time since we last met up but you know how some people have amazing hair growth)... went home plotting how to settle louis's parking summons was rather entertaining as well.. haha (photos will be up again time)

today was spent shopping with my family.. come to think of it, it has been a long time since my family went shopping like this together already, and i really enjoyed it! and its not just because of the free shopping, its the company too! i'm a satisfied girl in all areas except my homework.. ok i'm off to bed, hopefully, my homework will all miraculously disappear tomorrow!

2007-01-18T23:36:00.000+08:00

i had the weirdest dream last night.. i dreamt that all the friday nightsters were studying in a compound together and we had gym session, and ming yuan had bright green hair and a gold earring piercing through one of his ears.. and i recalled being totally shocked about his new appearance, so much so i woke up straightaway... now this shows how long i havent seen ming that i forgot how he looks like! ming! you heard that?!?!?

the past week has been hectic, with all the valentine's day preparation.. boys and girls! if you want to buy flowers or gifts for your beloved partner, or even friends, or even for me, please come find me alrights! and help me spread the news around so that i can make more and more money! (being honest here) :) but still its cheaper compared to buying from outside so do consider!

went for my first session of recreational netball today.. it was really fun! kaobei, if you're reading this.. COME JOIN TRACY AND I! only once a week lor!!! ok i'm beat.. night guys!

2007-01-08T23:58:00.000+08:00

bernard is so funny! i dedicate this post to him.. hahahah

me: i'm reading through my socio textbook now, to give myself a glance of how its like
bernard: isn't it just socialising?
me: NO
bernard: go club or pub can learn liao..

HAHAHAHAH

on the downside... SCHOOL HAS STARTED!!! sobss.....

2007-01-05T22:03:00.000+08:00

after 2 long and antagonising months of preparations and e-mails, my crescent clique was finally able to meet up, and even so, yulin couldn't come because we changed the date at the last minute.. not any fault of hers but we're all just too preoccupied with other things... but after not meeting for about a year, this gathering was a blast!

had a difficult time choosing where to dine, after finally being seated, we had a tougher time deciding what to eat.. the food was rather pricey and everyone ate so much rice! especially yifang who had the most rice! (because the rice was refillable and it was 1.50!!! golden rice i guess) after a satisfying meal, we went to the top of the building to take lots and lots of pictures!

and then all of a sudden yifang left with a guy... HMMMMM HAWWWWWW WHATTT?!!!!??!??

2007-01-01T12:38:00.000+08:00

yesterday was awesome! went marketing with sharon yarn ys and marky, who were all supposed to wear uniforms, in the end only me and yarn wore it to ys's house while the rest changed into it later... marketing was super funny, without a shopping list, we were everywhere, taking everything off the shelves and puting it back later and repeating it over and over again... our dress theme for the day...... SCHOOL UNIFORMS! dinner was splendid, weiyan's a great cook, sharon's macaroni and cheese were tasty, had too much for dinner and so the rest were kept for supper! dinner was enjoyable with lots of chatters and yarn's occasional shoutings OI EAT MORE! marky left before we could take pictures with him and so..... too bad! haha

st nicks, saint, crescentian

only normal group pic (rabnick is wearing sharon's girl guides hat.. HAHAHA)

andy: YOUR YOUR YOUR

us: huh? LIFE? FAMILY? FRIENDS?

andy: butterfly! butterfly! *points to butterfly jigsaw*aiya give up lah! it's self portrait lah..

5 mins before the clock struck 12, we dashed out of ys's house trying to find a suitable house to sing to, with 2 miserable minutes to spare, we went to his neighbour's house and sang aud lang syne, i saw a little boy popping his head out of the window to see the commotion! went to the playground and had HTHT :) when a drunk singh came along and ruined our fun and so we headed back to the house. had even longer talks, supper and then louis very nicely gave paula and i a lift home in his nissan sunny! so nice! THANK YOU! it was a great new year's eve!

2006-12-25T12:20:00.000+08:00

went marketing with jielin for the steamboat food yesterday at sheng siong.. we just dumped all the food in the trolley without estimating the price or anything and the bill came up to a grand total of $26.95! oh golly! it was freaking cheap! we got a shock and even the cashier laughed at our astonished faces.. cabbed down to ming's house with the food and all they did was laugh at the amount of the food! unappreciative brats! lunch was smashing.. 11 of us squeezed around a small table and dined together.. lots of laughter and cheer around the table :) watched a movie after that and then we decided to have our xmas dinner at kap macs.. it was good as it was very quiet and crowdless because no one will think of having macs for dinner on xmas eve.. haha.. bridged there before going down to ys's house where we watched love actually and played risk.. it was a good day!

2006-12-22T22:58:00.000+08:00

monday was a fruitful day with plenty of purchases accompanied by a good shopping buddy.. miss ng wei chen (miss you say take care i say god bless girl)! walked the entire town area, did my eyebrows, got a new bag, xmas presents for family... but i enjoyed the company most! it seems like a very long time since we were able to do that! was at a toyfair at taka when this salesman was trying to figure out how to fly the remote-controlled ufo and it almost flew right in my face, was so takenabacked that i almost swiped the entire toy down like a fly.. so unglam! didn't know whether to be angry or paiseh.. haha..

went for some bbq thing on tuesday which personally i feel was quite a flop.... because the purpose of it was to bond you with others or get to know one another better, BUT BUT BUT, its all the same people turning up, doing their own stuff... bond what bond!

i spent the entire wednesday and today going gaga over a new show (my girl) and a new hearttrob... i present to you... Lee Dong Wook!!!

wah he's super duper hot!!! hahaha.. and jielin wants to share him with me... nooooo!!! i'm very selfish.. he's mine only!

thursday went out with beiying.. she just returned from thailand and she bought me many pretty pretty stuff again!!! i love that girl! she always buys me soooo many nice and thoughtful things... which includes a pad bag even! haha... i feel really blessed having all these great friends! :)

2006-12-17T21:39:00.000+08:00

my brother: aiyo i'm going to be j1 already! time passed so fast!
me: i'm already in uni btw
bro: yeah just a few years ago you were still in sec school posing as a boyband.. sharon looked so funny.. (SHARON! my brother remembered you among everyone else!)

dinner with the class yesterday at a hongkong restaurant.. i arrived at the restaurant late and they all ordered their food already.. laid on the table were plenty of plates of lagsana and baked rice...

"you all came to a hongkong restaurant to order western food?"
"its hongkong-styled lagsana/baked rice"

after dinner we were contemplating between movies, bowling, pool, arcade.. everyone couldn't decide so i headed straight for the arcade where we played many many shooting games! love it! window shopped for a while and went home...

christmas is coming! i'm in the christmas mood now!!! who wants to go christmas shopping???? oh btw, there is a huge sock hanging at my house door, so feel free to drop presents inside to make my day and also to disappoint my dad's wishes of receiving cockroaches and lizards carcasses :)

2006-12-17T00:30:00.000+08:00

hockey chalet was a blast! its been ages since i have this much fun! let's recap!

met yarn and monica at tbp with all the groceries and edwin so kindly sent us to the chalet.. all that barang barang were so heavy that my arms ached for 2 days after carrying them, to make matters worse our chalet was all the way in! oh wells, we settled down and put away all the stuff before playing daitee cause only yarn and i knew how to play bridge... we went to pick jielin and paula up from the mrt and went down to east coast for supper... had many attempts at taking jumping shots and not a good successful shot to be proud of, raced back to the car after supper because mon instigated edwin to lock us out.. tskkkk...

back at the chalet we started blasting music and drinking... i tell you, i drank a lot ok! you all pukers keep thinking i didn't puke because i hardly drank... i just have a higher tolerance for alcohol lorrrr... haha.. yarn was dancing all over the place and paula was throwing herself all over the bed and occassionally posing in front of the mirror, she was a total sexpot... HAHAHA... luckily there weren't any guys around. paula puked into the basin shortly after that, clogging up the entire basin, up till the morning when you wash your face you still can smell the whiff of puke rising from the basin hole.. eeeewwwww

was chatting with paula on the bed when we were interrupted by monica puking on the floor.. the entire floor just next to the front of her bed were covered with vomit.. the irony was monica chose to sleep there because "its nearest to the dustbin so i can puke into it" yeah right....and paula and i were asking mon, are you ok? and mon stared at her vomit for a good 10 mins without replying us before finally taking a towel to clean up her vomit which she left a trail behind all the way to the toilet... the whole floor felt niam niam, i was really grossed out.. which was why she came TOV - trail of vomit..

the neatest vomitter was jielin who chose the toilet bowl and was able to run there in time instead of puking all over the floor.. hahaha. but mon made up for all her puke by cleaning the floor and cleaning the toilet while jielin was puking in the toilet.. haha! because jielin needed to sleep more, the 4 of us went to escape theme park which was a hilarious event.. while sitting on a thrill ride, mon kept shouting... I FORGOT I HAVE A FEAR OF HEIGHTS! JIELIN JIELIN SAVE ME! LET ME DOWN! I WANT TO COME DOWN! STOP ! hahaha and while on the viking, she shouted I SWEAR I AM SCARED! I SWEAR I AM SCARED! so amusing to watch her.. the rain ended our outing early and we had the nastiest bowl of kuey chap after that..

bbqed in the evening was great with all of louis's teachings on the privates of the female and how everything is cancer causing... yarn went crazy towards the end of the night, pulling a small beng to dance with her on a dare and boy was she dominating the dance.. hahaha.... i'm getting tired recalling... i love the nightsters and the hockers!

2006-12-13T16:42:00.000+08:00

I'M BACKKK!!! from malaysia only lah... although i've always complained about the lack of freedom and free speech in singapore, i've come to appreciate it after going malaysia.. the streets there are uneven, water-clogged, perpetually wet and i'm unable to travel feeling safe in the car without locking the door. the hawker areas are infested with flies and dirt, its really surprising that i did not suffer from any stomach upset.. but that being said, they're food was good! so was the shopping! even though i'm terribly sore that my brother bought more things than i did!

as i walked along the streets, i noticed advertisements for job vacancies, 7-11 states: full time staff 750RM per month, part-time staff 3.50RM per hour... wah.. that's very little lah! 3.50 can only buy you a bowl of noodles back there... incase if you are doing your mental calculations, the exchange rate is around 2.3RM for a singapore dollar... because of the exchange rate, the shopping was good, i bought 5 bottoms, a top and many others :)

the exams are over and it did not go as well as i had hoped for... what's new! now i'm very reluctant to get back my results which will be given soon! noooooo.. ignorance is bliss, i rather not know my results AT ALL! ok i'm going off to hockey chalet later, where there were supposed to be 6 spending overnight today but somehow things didn't turn out quite well lah.. what can i say man... nevertheless, i'm still super excited about it!!!! see you guys laterrrrr!!!

2006-11-15T23:35:00.000+08:00

it has been tiring so far, with all the studying and still having to rush to complete all the assignments.. NO TIME!

meanwhile, i happened to come across a couple of photos and found it extremely hilarious..

haha we were trying to form a boyband or something i think.. I THINK I LOOKED RIDICULOUS! hahaha..

crescent clicky its been such a long time since we last met up!! wonder how are all of you doing... but i'm prefer sure yifang is pretty much the same though.. haha.... MEET UP SOON!

2006-11-12T21:13:00.000+08:00

AARGH! i want to puke blood already!! i have tonnes of readings to do, so much, its countless! i'm terrified of words now, and it doesn't help when the writers write things that are so difficult to comprehend!

"brickwork enclosed by a 45 degree equilateral triangle".... i think and i think and i think and i still cannot picture a 45 degree equilateral triangle! i'm going nuts!

i realised that i only like it when i just start out on my individual modules when it is still interesting and the novalty is still there, after a while everything starts becoming dreadful again...

2006-11-11T20:18:00.000+08:00

you know you are no longer younger when you:
- realised that the alphabets you see in proteins and DNAs on textbooks are not as seen as in the microscope but rather given by scientists for naming purposes
- stand at the pasar malam games store (those hook an animal out of the water and peek below to see which numbered toys have you won) and hesitate for VERY long whether or not to play and decided not to in the end to act your age
- are no longer interested to learn new games, instead you prefer to stick to old games, safer, less taxing on the brains
- spend more time recollecting old memories instead of looking forward to new ones
- have only four freaking short years left to the working society
- are becoming more and more negative towards things
- categorise friends as those you have indepth talks with instead of just casual conversations

and so since i want to remain young, i'm going to change.. yes, i'm going to change...
first i'm going to learn the art of conversation (because i feel that i usually give a unconvinced look to people whenever i'm fed with new information), and then i'm going to be more daring and adventurous and try new stuff (first step! i want to learn french and learn gaming.. hahaha.. computer games somehow keeps your brain more active... personal opinion though), and then i'm going to read more books to widen my vocabulary and improve my english, and then i'll be a more cheerful person and look forward to whatever life has given me, and then i'll learn to be more patient and understanding so that my blood pressure won't be rocket high by the time i reach 30, and then............. so many and thens.. i better find time first and then start ticking off these items off the list!

its not the time for new year resolutions, but its the time of the exams again and usually during this period, you think about anything and everything except the exams itself and so i guess i spent my day thinking of the above instead of productive work :(

and since we're at the topic of anything-but-exams, i have compiled a list of places that i would really like to go to during my decembers holidays...
- science centre and omnimax theatre... no kidding... i really do!
- watch a performance in a theatre... those musical performance sort
- airport!
- explore ntu
- haw par villa
- escape theme park
- fly kite at marina *literally*
that's about it i guess.. see! not very ambitious!

last night's conversation with sharon made me miss hockey ALOT! really, i would give anything to participate in the tournament again like we did previously. sa hockey is the one and only team that i would play with wholeheartedly. YEAH I REALLY WANT TO PLAY HOCKEY AGAIN! not just hockey, but with the sa hockers! though that idea seems quite far fetched now, but i still want.. i still want i still want to!! *whines* hockey has been with me for 6 years, just stopping so abruptly seems like there isn't a proper closure at all, we did not have a decent farewell or any time for goodbyes, our last game just announced our closure and everyone just went separate ways, only the occasional few come back together and stick together, i missed everyone lahhhhh.... i even missed the times where i was snatching away andy's orange ball with paula instead of doing our basics properly, the time where i stomped on bernard's new turf shoes when he wouldnt give me something which i forgot already but i got a black face in return for doing so, where ys will run in rounds of 8 with the ball like a drunkard, where ming got called to the centre of the pitch only to be asked to return to the bench again, where sharon passed the ball down the wrong line, where paula and sharon goh collapsed on the floor due to cramps, where lawrence collapsed on the track because he had cramps both legs! where monica will run with the ball with one hand and the other to signal us to the position to run to.... so many so many! i'm feeling so nostalgic again.. sharon lah! i hope the hockey chalet will be great! i can't wait to see everyone!

its been such a loooonnnnngggg time since i last met up with the friday nightsters! where have all of you been?? how are all of you doing???? i miss paula's evil comments told with a look of innocence, jielin's dragon teeth, sharon's boistrous laughter, yarn's singing, monica's lao ye che, and the evil cousins'.... plain evilness... i miss it all!

ok enough of all these random thoughts... back to studying...

2006-11-01T08:53:00.000+08:00

sat's event was a last minute thing. was asked to assist in the rugby's inter fac games.. went down and found out had to speak into the mic! kinda have a phobia for doing so weichen and carol very kindly did it for me instead :)

went down and saw lot of people with brawls and brains.. need i elaborate further? haha.. it was quite fun, just sitting in the shade and watching everyone playing, still do not know how to keep the scoring for rugby though. the injuries scale was rocket high with people having bleeding nose, stitches on the forehead, dislocated shoulder, blah blah blah.. rugby is a scary game, i hope my son won't take it up in future.. hahaha too fast too fast!

yesterday i went to the omnimax theatre coupled with science centre exhibition.. it was very nice! we had very little time to explore the place and so couldn't look around much.. i want to go back there again and take many many photos! anyone wants to go after my exams???

speaking of exams, I END ON THE 5TH DEC... MAMA thats like how late!!??! but its alright lah, end late means start late meaning i'll have more time to study because i really haven't gotten down to studying full blast yet.. i do not want to end up studying for the sake of studying and tell myself that i'm prepared when actually nothing much has gone in..

its all starting to sound familiar again...

2006-10-24T20:41:00.000+08:00

the past few days have been pretty eventful :)

on sat.
went to smu in the afternoon to study with paula and yarn because paula booked a room in the exclusive smu for us. we purposely took the elevator at B1 so that we can dodge the security guard, but before even stepping foot on our destination, the security guard pressed open the elevator doors at level 1 and asked, are you all students? i just realised that 3 of us just stared at her for seemingly the longest time.. i was thinking should we lie? what if she asks to see our student id? i bet the same questions were running through paula and yarn as well.. haha.. so because we took so long to answer, i guess lying was out of the question. we got chased out of exclusive smu and so we proceeded to tcc to study...wanted to thread our brows because its getting quite outta hand but the shop was closed :(

yarn dropped her sunglasses and this is the result

hahaha! hilarious!

went for a birthday party after which with my nus friends.. the best part of the party was the food and bridge! i want to have more rich friends who can afford all these extravagent parties.. personally if you ask me i rather spend the money on treating a few of my close friends to a holiday where we can shop and enjoy each other's company, but that's just a personal preference lah... the food was damn good.. how often can you find shark's fin on a menu for an in-house birthday party with chefs and waitress around the house?!!? madness!

on monday, which was yesterday.
tutor: who can answer this question? how about that studious and diligent-looking student over there? *POINTS TO ME LEH!*
me: ermmmm.... i never do the assignment..

wah lao damn throw face lah!

went out with my sa classmates today.. had lots of fun just walking around, catching up and playing bridge.. all thanks to weichen who's highly addicted to the game already.. haha.. saw stanley and the HAHAHA man after a very long time.. both of them... STILL THE SAME! with stanley like a drunkard *in a good way* and the HAHAHA man in such a HAHAHA manner *in a comical way*.. haha.. good company makes up for everything!

felt that the friendships made in sa were the ones that i really treasured and mattered the most to me... ok.. enough of talking.. i shall let the pictures do the talking!

i miss all of them very much!

if you look closely at b0th scores, anthony is only winning by 1 point and he has already ended the game whereas the little girl is still working furiously towards her score :) super cute sight!

what does ren you san ji means?

i wonder what the san jis are... my dad says its urine, shit and sex.. hahaha.. true?

last night was major pigging out session with paula shar yarn and mon.. i went to bed feeling so full and woke up feeling 2kgs heavier.. DRATS...

we ate damn a lot at alexandra village but somehow something felt missing... i think it was curry fish head or something spicy.. we ate mutton soup, beef hot stove, stingray, sambal kangkong, tie ban doufu, oulua... hmmm i can't recall already.. mon wasn't with us for dinner so you guess how much the four of us ate for dinner alone.. then yarn suggests we go to island cremery for a more satisfying experience.. cabbed down in a mercs which made paula extremely excited leading to her many exclamations :"wah the cab smell so nice!" "it just feels different!" "we are in a mercs cab!" even the driver was amused by her many questions... tried to jio boss along so that we get free ice-cream but he didn't fell for it :S

at island cremery we each ordered icecream, yarn had an additional mudpie with mon which looked scrumptious but sinful.. played bridge and had many interesting conversations at island cremery.. we noted how all the girls working at island cremery were very good-looking which prompted another self jacking session where everyone shouts at each other "you won't be able to work here"...

after paula finished sayanging her stomach the entire night, she exclaimed that we should go have prata.. NUTS I TELL YOU... so off we went to bukit timah prata house where paula and mon ate their pratas and me n yarn watched on.. irony i tell you...

the funniest statement of the night...
me: if mon goes to nie you can ask her to share hall with you
yarn: I DON'T WANT ARH!
yarn: she'll shout in the morning.. wake up wake up fatty bombom...
hahahaha.. how typical of mon!

have been feeling so lethargic the entire week.. i need more free time!!

was watching one of e! entertainment's programmes the other day, hollywood's true stories... the artist in focus - michael j fox. i never really remembered much of him or have any deep impression at all because he's not really an actor of my time.... i only recalled him as the actor who acted in back to the future and its sequels who suffered from parkinson disease.. didn't have any impact on me at all even after knowing his condition.. but the show somehow changed things..

michael j fox started acting since he was young, and like ordinary people, had his fair share of failures and successes.. he married a great woman who stood by him throughout his entire ordeal and they have 4 kids... when he first found out about his condition, he kept it under wraps to all except his close friends and family because he did not want sympathy or any special preferences... first thought in his mind was to save more money so that he can still provide for his family even after he is unable to work... doctors gave him 10 years to work before this illness wil force him to retire, and he did work for 10 years until he retired. many of his colleagues were unhappy with him because all productions have to wait till he is ready and all. many were angry because he was deemed to be some bigshot at their expense, that is because they were unaware of his condition. until the day came where his trembling and muscle spasms grew stronger and medication couldn't hide it as effectively as before, then he told them about his condition. he came public with it and created public awareness. after retiring from the movie business, he set up a foundation to cater to research work for parkinson disease and focused his energy on this foundation. in order to show the public what the illness is about, he attended a seminar without taking his medication and spoke to the entire crowd, showing them all his tremblings and muscle spasms..

the show kinda touched me because unlike the common perception we have of actors of being spendthrifts, he was a down-to-earth guy who put family before himself. besides that, his appearance on national tv without taking medication was admirable... it really makes me wonder sometimes.. these are people who can make a major difference in the world without having to undergo all the education we have to go through these days, is education that important after all? i'm not saying that education isn't important, its just the extend of education these days.. people are studying everything and learning very little.. we do not apply what we learn in our daily activities, soon it'll all be forgotten...by the time i graduate from uni, with the assumption that i won't have to repeat any of my studies, i would be 23. and if i predict myself to live up to 70, and retire around 55, i would have spent slightly less than half of my productive life studying away... my brother tells me degree is the best way to go in order to secure a job, it might not even be good-paying one because a degree is so common these days, but at least a job.. will life be fulfilling even after securing a job? i do not know.. i guess only time can tell... wah a 2 hour show in front of the tv kinda undo all the brainwashing that i have been subjected to my entire life...

2006-10-07T17:00:00.000+08:00

this week has been hectic... it all zoomed passed soo fast!

monday had my first game at netball.. it wasn't even a training game, it was a competitive game! all the seniors didn't turn up, MAMA! and leaving all 7 freshies (literally freshies at the game as well) and we didn't even have substitutes, DOUBLE MAMA! but the game was great fun! we just kept losing and losing and laughing at our stupid mistakes.. initially the law people played quite competitively with stern faces, after the first half, everything was friendly and fun already, with them teaching us most of the rules though because we kept fouling without knowing why at all.. had another game on wednesday which we played harder, were more focused, though we still lost cus science fac is like damn big and their talent pool is huge compared to our tinsy winsy talent pool... so it was still an all alright game... although i heard comments like "don't need to run so far, save your energy" and some other condescending comments... friday was against the school of computing people... the girl who was marking me was DAMN TALL! i was only at her shoulder, all she did was stood in front of me and i couldn't see a thing anymore... but.. it was really great to play sports again... love the feeling and all and i couldn't have asked for better teammates either! i always love being the underdogs.. haha :)

thursday went for faculty bash... days before the bash i was very reluctant in going cause i dislike clubbing.. clubbing aint my thang... or at least must go clubbing with friends i'm very comfortable with... the to the horrors of all horrors, i was asked to sell bash tix... IRONY! and i can't not go since i was selling tix right.... soooooo.... i went.... left after a while because i had lessons the next morning... it was alright i guess... but... still if given a choice i would go with the nighters :) even though we haven't gone on a single clubbing trip tgt... its like the lesser of two evils...

had floorball today and we did quite well... I SCORED A GOAL! hahahhaa.. despite playing balls and sticks for ages, this is one of the rare times i score a goal competitively because i'm usually stuck at the back.. which i normally prefer because i don't have to run that much and be as agile as the forwards.. hahaha.. but i was forward today.. madness.. watched guys floorball for a while and WHOOOAH they are damn hiong and rough! its rough until you can expect guys flying out of the arena anytime.... haha..

2006-09-28T21:15:00.000+08:00

a normal conversation i have with my brother about school work..

me: the liquid soap molecule is amphi.... amphipa.... how do you pronounce amphipathic (my prnounciation: am-per-paf-tic)? *asking my brother about general bio because i'm totally clueless when it comes to bio
bro: am-per pat-tic.. correct lah your pronounciation
me: so what does it mean?
bro: something like sympathetic
me: OMG! WHY WOULD A SOAP BE EMPATHETIC??!?!?!
bro: oh you are referring to soap arh
me: ...

2006-09-24T11:19:00.000+08:00

wheee! this weekend has been great so far! i love weekends because it allows me time to catch up with friends, mainly the nightsters and all and i absolutely love the friday nightsters!

last night we all assembled at yuanshen's house to celebrate yarn's birthday.. paula and i went to buy the cake and some balloons and other party stuff.. we hesitated for very long whether to buy fake flies to put in the cake cause the flies were terribly disgusting, huge and REALISTIC.. haha but it was 4.50 not worth spending so we did not buy it in the end..

arrived at yuanshen's house and immediately the jokes started.. with yuanshen's eyeliner, black nails, WHITE powdered face, he looked like some dracula.. as ming put it.. you're only missing some red spots on your shirt.. i didn't have a camera so refer to yarn or paula for all the groovy pictures.. i dressed up like a punk rocker.. I INSIST.. its not peejays! monica arrived damn late on edwin's car and left in edwin's car as well because he happened to be driving around.. i wonder how many places he drove to between 830-1130... we put on all our fake tattoos with ming having a puma at his neck, HE LOOKED SUPER AH BENG! ahahah.. especially with his 'mohawk' hairstyle.. everyone was super hilarious!

wanted to order canadian pizza but we forgot the number..
jielin: what's the number arh?
me: 6241241
jielin: oh yah hor!
paula: thats only 6 numbers!
jielin: no its 7!
me: you can't count the 6 in!
HAHAHHA
paula: ok i call.. 62416241.... eh nobody pick up.. i try 62413241... hello? is this canadian pizza? sorry wrong no
me: ok i try.. 62415241... nobody pick up leh..

yeah on our 4th attempt we finally got the numbers right! and we ordered alot! pizzas, chicken wings, nuggets, wedges, SHIOK! we played all the orientation games like nunai game, 007, 7up.. the nunai game was the most hilarious! with everyone shouting at the top of their lungs and doing all the silly actions while ming keane and i obviously had difficulty trying to grasp the words in time cause they were all in chinese, but keane was the worst.. all he could do was heng duo nai heng duo nai..

keane: heng duo nai heng duo nai.. *died*
ming: keane! you can't do heng duo nai! they will obviously beat you at that!
hahaha ok insider's joke..
watch yarn's videos to see how comical we all were :)

ok i put up 2 of yarn's videos... my favourites of the night.. just keep laughing no matter how frequent i watch it :)

woooo had so much fun last night! again i say.. AGAIN!

2006-09-18T16:31:00.000+08:00

sorry for the lack of updates... haven't been updating for 2 weeks because on the first week my life was so monotonous that there was nothing much to update about while the 2nd week has been so packed that i couldn't find time to update..

turned 19 on saturday, had expected it to be a quiet affair with my family because everyone seems to have their own set of activities these days and most of them have been pretty busy with their stuff... poured my woes to an elderly and found sense in return... guess that's why they said jiang hai shi lao de la... haha

anyway, my birthday has been a blast! on saturday i celebrated with my classmates at anthony's house.. his parents are suppppper dupppppper nice! everything from booking the bbq pit to marketing to marinating to cooking, were all done by them! this was really the easiest bbq and definitely the cleanest bbq as well :) thanks weichen for planning everything and to the rest of the mateys, thank you for just being there!

sunday was spent with the friday nightsters, a reunion with all of them after such a loooong time! only sharon was missing thou, her absence was badly missed! we ate at ding tai feng where we talked very loudly, laughed and snorted away, jacking each other non-stop, doing things that we simply enjoyed doing.. i love being out with them.. they always allow me to be in my comfort zone... :) thanks to jielin for the cheesecake! i love it! ALOT! and to everyone else for the card, cake, flower... went shopping and caught a movie after that... JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE! the show was great! although i would much prefer john tucker to get the girl cause he's soooo hot! even though it is egoistically hot.. haha

ok before i go off, A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who made my day so special, people like hairin who got the date wrong and wished me one week in advance (such a lovable sotong), marcus who wished me one week in advanced because he had to leave for taiwan, and everyone else... really, your simple message made my day :)

i love my friends... ALOT

2006-09-04T22:49:00.000+08:00

"steve erwin died" thats what my dad told me when i came home from my night lessons.. although i don't like to watch his documentaries because of his thick accent and exaggerated actions, i felt really shocked and quite sad when i heard that piece of news.. if you didn't know, he died when he was filming another of his documentaries when a stingray pierced his heart with a sting.. dramatic irony isn't it.. its quite uncommon to hear daredevils dying.. usually you hear of how they escape all sorts of dangers and stuff.. to actually hear one dying seems quite farfetched... yet realistic...

school has been pretty hectic recently, with all the workload suddenly springing up on me.. just can't to find enough time to complete all the assignments, or rather do readings...

ok i have nothing much to update... this entry is as out of the blue as steve erwin's death...

2006-09-01T22:15:00.000+08:00

i didn't make it to the 3rd trials... hate the feeling of being rejected.. hate it hate it.. i really wanted to get in but seems like it wasn't meant to be.. special thanks to weichen for just being there for me all the while and andy for offering to give me a treat to cheer me up.. these are the kind of friends that money just can't buy :) i don't think i'll give it another go next year because i really can't bear the thought of getting rejected again....now i'm really at a loss what to join.. i wanted to join sports...at a competitive stage.. that goal seems impossible now...

today is teachers' day so a big shout out to all teachers.. HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!!!

boss is damn funny.. i msged him a happy message and he replied with a "don't marry the first guy you date.. play hard to get abit" hahahahah such fatherly love...:) i really miss those days where we give boss a massive jacking session.. i miss sa hockey.... i miss the hockers.. i miss my classmates.. i even miss some teachers *that excludes mdm hoh and miss koh* haha

ok there isn't alot to update now.. my life has been boring... school has been a dread... but its getting better.... hopefully.... i want a meet up with hockers soon!!!!!

2006-08-26T22:46:00.000+08:00

its a saturday! i love saturdays best because it means i do not have to worry about going to school the next day and leaving homework for sundays.. met up with paula ming and shen, had a fun time playing bridge, laughing at all the miscommunications between the evil cousins and all... i always feel so comfortable around them :) my legs ache like shit today because of the sudden use of those i-have-gone-on-a-8-month-hiatus muscle.... ok its not just the legs... everywhere as well... skipping an unbearable topic, we go to......

my favourite cartoons!!! i'm missing them sooo much.. they no longer show some of these these days.. i felt that i had healthier cartoons during my childhood days compared to children these days.. i watched captain planet, popeye the sailorman, tom and jerry, mickey mouse, bugs bunny... kids these days watch hamtaro, digimon, pokemon, winx club (speaking of winx club.. i watched a couple of episodes of it as well, kudos to my niece's influence.. its quite nice... though it contains stuff like boy girl relationships, jealousy, beauty yada yada... this explains why kids are growing up so fast!), etc... no matter how i still prefer the cartoons of my time, less complicating, more traditional, more animations less words.. some cartoons these days have soo much mutterings, i have no idea what they are talking about! educational cartoons are getting lesser and lesser, my time i had magic schoolbus, captain planet, etc... now it seems like there's only sesame street which i do not think is challenging enough for toddlers, its more like meant for babies, oh wells what do i know, i never had the patience, since i was a kid, to watch through one full episode of sesame street.. they took tooooo long to count...

ok here's to bringing back the days where captain planet was the best hero :)

and if you want to secretly sing to it like what me and my brother just did in the room, here's the lyrics.. HAHAHAHAH

"Earth
Fire
Wind
Water
Heart
GO-O-O PLANET
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet
Captain Planet
He's a hero
Gonna take pollution down to zero
He's our powers magnified
And he's fighting on the planet's side
Captain Planet
He's a hero
Gonna take pollution down to zero
Gonna help him put a stop to
bad guys who like to loot and plunder
You'll pay for this, Captain Planet
We're the planet-teers
You can be one too
'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do
Looting and polluting is not the way
Hear what Captain Planet has to say:
THE POWER IS YOURS"
-END

haha the rapping part is the best :)

oh i almost forgot to add.. i was at a DIY shop today and they were showing a tv commercial.. the product on the advertisement was called mosquito magnet.. apparently this gadget attracts all the mosquitoes to it and somehow will manage to suck the mosquitoes up and kill it inside the gadget... the commercial was pretty well done i admit.. it went like this..

so what to do with your dead mosquitoes?
1) feed birds *inserts feeding birds with mosquitoes picture*
2) feed fishes *inserts pouring a bagful of mosquitoes into fish tank picture*
3) feed PET spiders *inserts pouring another bagful of mosquitoes into tank of spiders picture*
4) fertilise your lawn *inserts pouring mosquitoes bodies all over the lawn picture*
5) flush down your toilet bowl *need i explain more*

haha hilarious! i burst out laughing at the pet spiders part... not every kid is like those in home alone lah....

2006-08-25T21:19:00.000+08:00

on my way home, in the lift.. a couple came in with me... i hattttteeeeee being around couples... especially those lovey dovey kind... call me sourgrape if you want but i really cannot stand them displaying their affections publicly...

in the lift:
boy: wo mama shuo ni bi jiao pang le
girl: ta heng kai xin rite, mei chi yao wo zheng fei (is zheng fei put on weight?)
boy: yah.. ni kan ni the du zi
girl: ni de ye shi
AND THEN THEY STARTED PATTING EACH OTHER'S STOMACH NON STOP... LIKE AS THOUGH THERE'S A FOETUS IN THERE OR SOMETHING

went for floorball trials today.. it was a complete disaster... aargh forget it....

2006-08-24T22:06:00.000+08:00

how do you describe the feeling...

- when everything that happens around you just seems to irk you
- when you just seem so restless that you can't stand doing nothing yet not wanting to do anything at all
- when the person whom you want to relate your entire day to (be it good or bad) isn't around or maybe he/she just doesn't exist?

is this the feeling called emo? if it is, i hate that feeling because whenever i read other people's emo blog entries, i would think to myself... why like that... just do this can already mah... perhaps i am not in their position so i can never understand why they are feeling so emotional and tend to judge them from a practical point of view...ok just ignore me, i'm blabbering nonsense again.. *chants* this is just a passing phase... just a passing phase...

its funny how i have always thought of the many things i want to say when i meet up with someone. yet when i finally do get the chance to meet up, i do not know how to begin... and it ends up not being mentioned.. AGAIN.. i guess i still find it easier to pen my thoughts down... i'm able to think better before 'talking'

tomorrow i have floorball trials to go for... which i'm simply terrified, nervous, super super frightened because.... because... i most probably have lost my touch in using a stick to handle a ball... what if the ball controls me instead of me controlling the ball? what if there are many many pro players? i have not run for ages and what if i can't run tomorrow? all the what-ifs is making me extremely afraid..

besides, knowing that florence zheqing wongxi and fariza might be going for the trials as well is not exactly making me feel much better.. in case any of you might have the wrong impression, i'm not putting any of the above down, i'm intimidated at their skills rather.. they are strong players.. :(

watched click with beiying today..it was a great show..really comical, funny, touching and all... kate beckinsale is really pretty!! i was rather amused though towards the end of the show.. 3 girls sitting in front of me, another girl on my right and beiying on my left were all sniffing away... i was surrounded by girls crying.. i felt so manly then.. haha

this week has been tiring.. tutorials starting next week.. i'm so not in the mood to begin studying yet... i wish i have a nicer timetable.. shall post my final timetable up someday.. then all of my friends in nus, please come jio me to study during the breaks! :)

2006-08-20T20:56:00.000+08:00

my favourite music video of all time!!!!!

ahhhhh.. backstreet boys

2006-08-19T23:27:00.000+08:00

i'm blogging for the first time through adam...:)

the week has been pretty tiring so far...

monday was my first day of official lessons.. its crazy cause i have to wake up at 8am every monday and thurs for statistics lecture.. (anything that involves waking up before 8am is BAD for my health cause it gives me unsightly eyebags) the lecturer was pretty patient and all but have bad pronounciation. real bad. 10am and it was the end of school because tutorials will only commerce in two weeks time.. so wc and i went exploring the school, we went to the central library to borrow all the readings and to familiarise ourselves with the equipments and stuff.. everything is so computer based in nus that it makes me feel old for being unable to keep up with technology...

lessons started at 7pm on tuesday and so we went shopping before that and had to carry all my barang barang to school...

wednesday had e-commerce lessons and it was pretty initimidating because the whole lecture was practically filled with all bizad students and very little freshies... but the course sounded pretty interesting on the whole :)

friday afternoon was bio lecture at a lecture theatre at the top of the hill which was dreadfully tiring to walk to..had to brisk walk since we were late and it was really quite strenuous and we arrived at the lecture theatre all hot and sweaty.. went out with the nightsters and it was good laughs and all as usual.. i bought a new white jacket.. spent money again... i really had no intention of spending money already ever since my shopping spree on tuesday but... the salesman had to comment that i looked nice in that jacket... i sound like a sucker falling for his 'gimmicks' right, but who dislikes compliments right.. haha... we all went home early cause all of us have been tired from going to school...

went frisbeeing with the class in the morning and now my ankles ache, not only due to the frisbeeing but because of all the climbing done on friday... went arcading and pooling as well... a lovely day to spend the day i must say because it took my mind off my completely dysfunctional family..

2006-08-15T23:32:00.000+08:00

i tell you....... I'M GOING TO COLLECT MY SPUNKY NEW LAPTOP TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wah its very hard to contain the excitement within me... i can't wait to lay my hands on you darling.. i shall give you a name.... MR ADAM :)

stayed over at school on friday night as rag was on saturaday.. everything turned out fine, could have had better company but it was fine lah... felt a little moody and tired that day, had no idea why... perhaps i really couldn't be bothered with patronising people.. the float was beautiful, the dancers were really goodlookers, everything was quite flawless.. we won two awards so i guess the efforts paid off yeah

monday was my first lecture after 8 months of lazing around.. and it had to start at 8freakingam! so lecture was 8-10am.. there you go, end of the day.. i go to school so early for a 2 hr lecture!?!? its crazy! hopefully when the tutorials are slotted in after next week the timetable will get better.. i don't like going to the science faculty (unfortunately half of my modules are held there) because its always so chaotic, crowded and unpeaceful there!
every bus that goes there gets completely filled up, every toilet cubicles have to be queued up for usage, the co-op is like a marketplace where everyone buys books like there's no tomorrow.. yeah you get the picture, its just madness there! i prefer my faculty, small, warm, peaceful... just like sajc :)

today my lecture started at 7freakingpm and ended at 9pm! i have the weirdest timeslots for lectures.. so before that weichen and i went out shopping and movie.. it was a rather unusual feeling, to shop, watch movie, then proceed to school at night.. usually its the other way round.. we watched dragon tiger gate.. not a bad movie.. DONNIE YEN IS HOTTTT! really! his body ... WOAH... damn good! the movie had a lot of action scenes and special effects.. everytime they flung a body to the ground, the ground breaks into tiny pieces, machiam like bread crumbs.. haha when i told that to weichen she said that her perception is slightly different but had similar meaning.. she wanted to say they were strong.. HAHAHA.. madness! went arcade again (its becoming a routine to include arcade in every outing) and shopped again.. spent so much money!!!! my pocket is hurt...

2006-08-10T17:21:00.000+08:00

i'm blogging using weichen's laptop.. am in school now.. am feeling quite stoned (as a result i am not going home yet even though i have absolutely nothing to do now, instead i'm watching weichen warming up for her dance and just blogging away).. its days like these where i can just stare at the cars driving pass for hours and feeling contented at not doing anything at all :)

updates: i have just bidded for a module called general biology.. was excited initially at the idea of learning something completely new... however...... after my bid has been processed, i am feeling totally hesitant right now.. I HESITATED! because i have never studied bio in my entire life and now i'm studying it in the uni... my maximum knowledge of bio is only at primary school level! HOW??!?!?

anyone with bio textbooks, please lend it to me now :S

2006-08-10T00:05:00.000+08:00

i'm sooooooo tired! please ignore me if you are sick of hearing me complain about fatigue but i just can't help it! i have been so used to slopping around all day and suddenly having to go to school everyday takes a hell lot of time to get adjusted to.. :S but that did not mean i did not have fun :)

monday i was like a kanchiong spider, trying to settle my bids and choose modules that hopefully no one except myself will be interested in so that they won't vie any places with me... had a looong chat with weichen over the phone to settle our modules and when we finally keyed in our bids, i felt very relieved, as though a whole burden has been lifted off my shoulders, however i still had to keep watch over my bids until thursday to make sure no one outbids me, seems pretty easy to do so when the seniors are bidding by the thousands and i can only bid by the tens..

was part of the whole cohord of blue tees on tuesday, going around collecting donations... to make things interesting i started making silent bets with myself who would donate and who wouldn't.. guys are generally more generous with their money, even a taxi uncle honking at me to go up to his taxi so that he can donate into my tincan :) kind acts simply perks me up... weichen and i weren't exactly saints for the day because we were not really motivated to go all out for charity.. shall leave out the details but we still had loads of fun! watched tokyo drift later in the evening.. that show is haawt! the japanese girls were vavavoom! the cars were beautiful! the show overall wasn't too bad despite the abscence of a proper storyline...

today is national day! i learnt this national song a long time ago but no one except me and my brother seems to have heard of it.. the song goes like this:

the 9 of august is a holiday,
we don't have to go to school,
we all can play.
im dressed in my best,
especially for today!
hip hip horray!
its our national day!

today is the birthday of singapore,
we will celebrate this year,
like never before.
i don't know how it started,
but i know its true!
singapore's a home for me and you!

haha someone please tell me you have heard of this song before!

went out with the friday nightsters today for lunch, had a nice meetup and chats... the day has been great, i shall let the pictures do the talking...

at big o.. our smiles all quite plastic.. must be due to the prices of the food

one of the many weiyan's moments

while waiting for yarn and sharon

after which, paula had to leave

picture taken over dinner.. i looked very uneasy because i seriously felt like a mother and all her children crowding around me for the family photo... note: its not only feeling like a mother, rather its an elderly mother.. haha

and i just found this in my comp.. can't help but puting it up...

gone were the days where we had lots of fun in danker's car.. HAHAHA... i love these people tremendously :)
